JetStream jumped on the seat of the throne, Sonic looked at JetStream, "You got something in mind?" JetStream looked back at Sonic. "Huh? Oh, yeah, it's got something to do with this crystal..." he leaped for the top of the throne where the largest crystal was resting. Tails jumped of how big the drop was. "Be careful, JetStream." JetStream ended up sticking his tongue out in concentration, when he suddenly looked back down. "How come thrones are always so big?" Tails and Sonic shrugged after a second passed, JetStream seemed unsure of himself, "... Oh well..." he balanced the top, and reached for the crystal, where Sonic was astonished. "That's a great balance you got..." "..." JetStream was too focus on not losing his balance at the moment, where this crystal object was still his focus, as soon as he got close enough, it felt like everything went silent. He touched the crystal, and suddenly stumbled, "Ah... this head-ache, is..." he slipped off the throne. "JetStream!" they ran up to him, but he landed on his left side, and slowly got back up. Sonic and Tails caught up, "Are you alright?" Tails asked. "I'm fine... just probably bruised..." Sonic nodded. "Good... but what happened up there? You had the balance to keep yourself from falling..." JetStream winced again as his vision blacked out, and the head-ache returned. There were sudden noises as like a train would've passed you at the station. Something shot through his mind, and he saw something. It looked like two ponies who were here in the same exact room. One pony was standing next to the throne was a unicorn while the other was sitting in it, he had a horn and wings, and his appearance overall to be black having some sort of red cape, and his own horn was glowing red, but he wasn't using magic, that's when the vision suddenly vanished. JetStream lied there with a slight transformation, his eyeballs were green, while his pupil and iris were red. But as soon as he gained his own vision back, the sudden colors vanished back to normal. Everything JetStream right now was a bit blurry. "JetStream, what happened?" he held his head as he sat up. "What did I just see...?" Sonic looked away from the crystal behind the throne. "You saw something?" JetStream tried to stand, he could walk, but looked rather stiff. "Well, yeah. It was like a flashback... I saw two ponies in this room..." Tails looked down for the moment. "So it could've been from another time!" "Really?" JetStream and Sonic asked. Tails nodded. "Yeah, it's a possibility." JetStream looked at his right hoof. "But, the feeling I had when I touched it, the crystal." they all looked toward the top most crystal, the largest one, "Was it the crystal itself? Or was it just me...?" JetStream thought harder on what he saw before, 'Or, both...?' he stopped and started walking toward the crystal slowly, as if he was zombified. "JetStream? What are you doing?" JetStream knew he needed to focus, it somehow couldn't have been a flashback, but it was a memory, he stopped right before the crystal, and pushed his right hoof against the crystal. He suddenly felt weak all over again. "I'm feeling... it's... happening again..." Sonic looked sort of expressionless, either he knew what JetStream was doing, or he was worried about the crystal's actions, while Tails was worried overall. But instead they just stood there waiting for the next one to occur. Something shot through his mind, bringing another head-ache, and his eyes and pupil with his iris turned green and red, except this time it was faded, and it didn't seem to be as strong as the last. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The caped pony mentioned the smaller one to get over to his position, "I'm afraid, you, are the one that needs to get out of here, I don't want another hurt on my part..." the pony before him was at a loss of words, the small pony stood up taller. "But, what about you? What will they-?" he hammered his armored hoof against the ground, resulting in a loud clang, the pony jumped in response. "No more!..." the caped pony responded, "You must go." his angry expression didn't change as he faced the throne, and he seemed to focus as his horn started glowing white. ('What...!?' JetStream thought, 'I've never seen a white horn Aura before...') But then it quickly turned black and started to form purple and green particles, his eyes had a glowing purple flag-like shape on the edges of his eyes. ('What is that?') JetStream's expression matched the small pony's perfectly, a sudden bolt of black electricity was shot toward the crystal. ('What is he doing...!?') The small pony was amazed by the caped one's appearance, he looked at the crystal. The shot of his horn was sucked into the crystal, turning it from purple to pitch black. Both ponies turn to realize they're almost through the door. ('I wonder what he's doing with that...') A thin black blanket was expanding from the crystal, "Stand back..." the caped pony ordered, so the pony did. "Is this what you showed me decades ago? Is this the fear and anger's power shown to me?" ('Decades!? He should be a lot older then what he looks...') The pony looked no more then a young stallion, as soon as it caught his vision, the whole floor was being erased, revealing a staircase below it, which the small pony looked at the caped one nervously. "Don't stand there, they'll break through that door very soon... Go!" out of shock, the pony started down the stairs, as the other sat in his throne, looking ready to take his civilians on. Everything else afterward vanished. And JetStream regained his vision. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Sonic and Tails were relieved to see JetStream open his eyes after a long time. He was like that, standing around for five minutes and almost collapse to the floor the second time, "What did you see?" Tails asked. JetStream tried his best to look up. "Something that might help us." he gave a faint smile as Sonic and Tails looked at each other. ~~~Chapter End~~~
