Twilight and Lyra entered the room again. "Did anything happen?", my marefriend asked.
I stepped aside so they were able to see the floating stick.
"Wow, so cool!", Lyra shouted out.
"Levitation without active magic? This will be the best scroll I have sent Celestia in ages." Twily was so excited and jumped up and down.
"Indeed, this is nothing I would have ever guessed. It will be interesting to see how long the effect lasts. I will do the same with a piece of metal to see if the effect differs, then we will call it a day and have dinner. Tomorrow we test it with fire."
...
Twilonium had the same effect on metal as it had on wood. After Lyra had left to go home, I brought the two pieces with me to the library so we could observe how long they kept on floating.
We sat on the dinner table when Celestia's answer arrived.
"Tomorrow afternoon would be fine, as always I'm looking forward to your visit.", Twilight read aloud.
"What did you tell her in your scroll?", I asked her.
"Just that we want to discuss our findings so far. I decided not to mention your findings today, so you can tell her in person and even show her... if they still float by the time we visit her."
"If not, I can dip them into Twilonium again." Twilight still smiled every time I mentioned the element. Well... possible element, it could be a chemical compound as well.
We had a pleasant dinner and nice cuddly night together.
...
The next morning both samples were still floating on the spot I had left them. I gave one of them a little push which made it move an inch but they both just kept on levitating.
After breakfast, Lyra arrived ready for action. "What are we doing today?", she asked.
"We're testing Twilonium reaction to fire this morning. Around noon we will take a train to Canterlot to investigate further about Indigo Nightshade. We should be back in Ponyville for dinner."
"Awesome! Sounds like we could do a lot of progress today."
I really loved her positive spirit. We walked over to the lab to set up the experiment while Twilight stayed in the library to read some books about portal magic and teleportation.
...
We ended up using only a fraction of the purple gas, while we stored the rest of it in the smaller room we were sitting right now. We watched our setup for the experiment in the main lab through a very small hole in the wall.
"Can you use your magic to move the burning candle into the gas?", I asked Lyra.
"Sure, what do you expect to happen?"
"I really have no idea. This stuff isn't like anything I have experienced before. That's the reason why we only use a fraction of it."
Her horn started to glow and slowly she moved the candle towards...
!!!!!!BOOOOMMMM!!!!!!
!!!!BOOOOOOMMMMMM!!!!
!!!!!!BOOOOMMMM!!!!!!
I opened my eyes again. Lyra laid next to me and seemed to be unconscious. The wall before us was still intact and must have absorbed most of the forces directed to us. I shook her body. "Lyra! Lyra, wake up."
She moaned and slowly opened her eyes. "What happened?"
"The Twilonium exploded.", I explained. The rest of the sample rolled towards us, the shockwave had thrown it out of the shelf I had put it, the vessel was unharmed. I grabbed it from the ground and looked at it. "We're lucky it doesn't detonate from shocks or we would be dead right now. Are you unharmed?"
She carefully rose. "I'm fine, just a bit mixed up."
I stood up and walked to the door leading to the next room. It was half open and had a huge crack in it. When I entered the next room I was relieved to see the blast wall had worked as intended, it laid outside on its side. Most of the energy from the explosion had chosen the way of least resistance, thanks to that the main room was in better shape than I had expected, and there was no fire.
"Nothing that some money and the carpenter can't fix in a day or two.", I told Lyra who entered the room. "I don't want to imagine what would have happened without our safety precautions."
"STELLA!" Twilight ran towards our lab, deeply worried.
"Everything is fine!", I shouted. "We're unharmed."
I felt her relief. She hugged me hard once she reached me. "I was so worried.", she said sobbing.
"I'm sorry for that. Turns out Twilonium is highly explosive with fire. We only used a tiny amount and look what happened."
We went back to the library and tried to recover from the shock of almost dying. Lyra went off to Bon Bon's shop so she wouldn't worry when she heard from the explosion.
...
After an hour of kissing and cuddling in our bed, I went to the carpenter to tell him about the 'repairs' I needed for my lab. "It exploded, can you please fix it. I pay you twenty percent premium." The look on his face was priceless.
...
I had brought my floating test samples with me to show them Celestia and met up with the others at the train station right before noon.
"It took me ten minutes to convince Bon Bon it wasn't my fault the lab exploded. I had to promise her to be extra careful from now on.", explained my aquamarine colored lab assistant.
"Well you are known to be prone to accidents, almost as much as Derpy.", Twilight said smiling.
"At most half as much.", Lyra defended herself and made me worry.
"Look, the train is coming.", I told them to interrupt this unsettling conversation.
...
We sat in the wagon watching the scenery.
"Who will we meet first?", I asked my marefriend.
"Once we arrived, we will head right to the palace to meet Celestia. Cadence also has a room in the castle and we can visit her once our first meeting is over."
"This is gonna be interesting, I can't wait to see these papers of hers."
So this Twilonium is exactly like a magical hydrogen:lighter than air and highly explosive but with premium adds :It has the ability to enchanting,have nice color and anyone can produce it in the house.....Why it is fictional....WHY
Ps.Now I'm curious what else she will discovered,well this will be interesting ride,let's see that
And add to "Read it definitely" section :D
Perfect :D
Will you do mature version of this one too?
YEEEEESSSSS!!!!!
Now Stella can make bombs soon!!!
Don't mess with Twilight when Stella is with her. She has Science!!! And ......oh...oh my GAWD!!! SHE CAN MAKE AN EXPLODING FLANETHROWER!!!! U SCREWED CELLY!!!
Watch out Pinkie and Dash and...Luna!!! We have a new prankster of Equestria....and she is badass!
7978752 well, it is MUCH more expensive than hydrogen, more like nitroglycerin. She used like a shot glass of it and bye bye lab.
if everyone could make something like this at home
7978926 thank you
7979001 it's not planned right now. Depends on how the story goes... if something explicit happens I want to see in detail myself... I may write it.
7979248 armed and ready
It is always fun to have enough firepower to blow up Canterlot... if necessary
Just logged on and saw this... 2 thoughts appeared in my mind one was wait what? then a even bigger voice yelled OMG yes!!!!!!!
This is really good so far, but I wish I would wait a bit longer befor reading this stuff, I know that I react different when being sleepy or just waking up. However like I said the story was good so far.
7979385 I'm happy you're happy
7979991
Tonight I'll give them a good read working at the moment
7979836 short answer: no
7979856 I expect it won't happen often in book two, this is more the exception to the rule. But you know I not really sure how the story will develop.
Ich erwarte das es nicht oft im zweiten Buch passieren wird, das war eher die Ausnahme. Aber du weißt das sich die Geschichte manchmal anders entwickelt als ich es erwarte.
7979866 No, one of the elements of the wooden fitting can fold to the side and they all are padded. It's nice of you to worry about her. Maybe I make it clearer in the chapter what I imagine.
7979873 your free to read it again later
We need Moon Dancer join in the group since she is practically Twilight's clone.
7979866 adoption could always be a possibility, depending om how the story goes.
7980019 since I already messed up the timeline it would be a possibility.
7982212 molar mass is not the same as density. I watched videos of the experiment and it was about 2:1. Have you seen different?
7982212 orig04.deviantart.net/8d52/f/2017/057/b/d/electro_by_znegil-db0jnyp.jpg
That's what I saw. Just the molar mass doesn't say much about it's density as a gas. I don´t want to go into to much detail in the story because I don´t want to bore people, just telling them what would be seen.
7979272 Now I feel torn between choice: relaxed that it doesn't exist here and yet I desire this even more
also question: if Stella will use different type of juice: the final product will be exactly the same or different?(because magic/magical dimension)
I look forward to see what the future holds and as their experiments (I hope that more explosions and magical substances/chemical compounds and elements)
It will be interesting to see how Celestia reacts to their discovery,I can't wait to see next chapter.
7985192 It's an interesting thought that it could depend on this kind of juice and other juices would produce different results, but I think it is just passive to help in the experiment. The amount of possibilities would be to big if it would depend of kind of juice, concentration, acid content...
I'm in the middle of writing the Celestia chapter, they are just standing before her door right now.
7979285 Was the pun intended or not. 'Cause I thought it quite hilarious. Armed *snicker*
Also yay for Stella now being able to make weapons of mass destruction. For when friendship and magic just aren't enough anymore. When will she introduce them to firearms and kevlar wests? The Royal Guard definitely need an upgrade in gear. Also making more of a superpower than it already is.
My biggest concern right now is for Cadence. We now know she was once human. That can easily be a big panic. Or maybe not. I hope things still work out in the end.
7986071 "armed" wasn't intended, but it is funny
7987495 Maybe that's what you get when you walk around naked all the time and see each others private parts anyway.
7986706 I think it's funny what you think you "know"
Things might not be what you think.
I thought about going this route, but things didn't add up.
We know Nightshade visited the human world at least two hundred years ago, we know Cadence ages normally like other ponies.
Celestia will give us a bit more inside information soon.
hum ok so when you turn -------- in to gas it explodes interesting.
