Chapter 10
I slowly started to come too. I was laying on something hard and my head hurt.
Slowly I forced my eyes open against the glaring light.
To nopony’s surprise, this didn't help my headache and I squeezed my eyes shut tight again.
I heard... crying. And I was somewhere glittering and purple. And laying on the cool hard floor.
What the hell happened, last I remembered was visiting Midnight to talk about the shield and then...
What the buck happened. Damn it, Midnight you said nothing would explode me!
I slowly pushed myself onto my hooves to look arou-
"Vamponie!" somepony yelled and then something fast and heavy hit me from the side.
I didn't have time to resist or do anything really. Or even understand what was going on.
I hit the floor, bounced off something hard and then came to a rolling halt, my head ringing.
"Rainbow! No!"
My vision blurred, threatening to darken at the edges.
Something touched my back, "Page! Page! Are you alright!?"
"Not so loud," I managed to answer, "Think... I hit my head. Or my head hit me."
I blinked my eyes slowly but firmly. Focus, damn you!
Slowly the world came back into focus and I slowly started to push myself back up.
A hoof rested on my back, "Stay down," Midnight said firmly, "Fluttershy, get some water."
Fluttershy, why were sh-
Rainbow. Midnight has said Rainbow. Rainbow was not in Nocturnis... which meant either was I out for a long time or we had moved somewhere.
I turned my head, spotting a familiar Crystal table taking up the middle of most of the room. I could see... Luna and Celestia. Applejack, Rainbow Dash, Rarity and The Pink One.
Puzzle pieces fell into place with a resounding thunk as my hamster climbed back onto its little wheel and went back to running.
"We're in your world," I told her quietly, looking up at Midnight.
Midnight nodded and then looked over at Celestia and the rest, "We are," she said seriously.
"We just managed to find you," Celestia said and moved a bit to the side, revealing Starlight Glimmer. The unicorn looked tired and wore a magic suppressor ring around her horn, "Starlight came to her senses and decided to assist us."
"Twilight, who is that?" Applejack asked and looked at me.
Midnight rubbed her forehead with her hoof, "This is Prince Blank Page of Equestria," she said with a tired sigh, "Which is who you just assaulted, Rainbow."
I slowly pushed myself up onto my hooves to sit. My head felt like it was splitting apart. My vision was blurry.
"Oh Celestia, you're bleeding," Midnight said and I felt a hoof press against the side of my head. I almost wobbled.
I groaned and tried my best not to pass out, "You know," I said, "I can't help but think I got the worst deal when it came to landings here."
"Just lay down again," Midnight said, "We'll figure this out and get you back, I promise. Just focus on not hurting yourself, okay?"
I should be feeling worried about being in a different universe or timeline or whatever, but I just couldn't gather the energy for it.
But my head felt like it was splitting in two and my mind felt like it was stuffed with cotton clouds.
Letting Midnight guide me to lay down again, my eyes felt heavier than the sun and I floated off into darkness.
##
I slowly started to wake up, forcing my eyes open and looking out over the richly decorated room. The walls shimmered softly in the moonlight coming in through the window.
My head hurt.
Where... am I? How did I get here?
Last thing I remembered was... I was talking with Midnight in her lab, Talon wanted to join the guard and then... I woke up here.
Slowly I pushed myself up to sit.
My head hurt, but it didn't get any worse. I reached up with a hoof to feel it. I had bandages around my head. Oh. Head injury.
Would explain the memory loss, yes.
Still had no idea where I was though. Didn't look like a cell of some sort, that window was glass and didn't have bars on it. It looked more like an expensive hotel room or guest room. Somewhere rich.
Palace?
But where? Hmm. Crystals. Crystal Empire?
Prisoner or rescued?
The lack of bars leaned towards being rescued, but could be political prisoner and they were just polite. Could be magically warded.
Carefully and quietly I climbed off the bed and moved over towards the window as silently as I could before I reared up to reach and look out.
That's... that's Canterlot at the horizon. I could literally see Canterlot through the window.
This angle would put me in... Ponyville? Or thereabout?
Ponyville doesn't have a structure like this.
I slowly sank down to sit.
But I knew of a Ponyville that does have a structure like this. Midnight had told me all about it. Her Ponyville in her universe had a crystal castle.
I was in Midnight's home universe.
Oh buck.
My mouth suddenly felt very dry and I closed my eyes tight, forcing my breathing to remain even. Don't panic. You're not stuck. She got from here to our place and now somehow they got at least me here. Likely her as well.
If they can do that, they can send me back home too.
I'm not stuck. I'll see everypony again.
I'm not stuck. Don't panic.
Panicking never helps anyway.
I put my hoof on my chest, taking a slow deep breath before extencing it as I breathed out. Sparks’ calming down technique helped a little.
I did it again.
Then I put my hoof back down and stood up. Okay. I knew where I was. Where I was didn't mean I was safe, no way to know yet who was in control here, for all I knew it could be... okay, not evil Celestia, it was way too dark for that.
But it could be Nightmare Moon, The Storm King or even Chrysalis. Okay, not Chrysalis, then I would have been glued to a wall or in a pod. So Changeling takeover was unlikely.
Closing my eyes, I listened hard before letting out a chirp of echolocation. It was inaudible to a non-thestral, but it gave me a map of the room I was in. All the walls felt equally solid, the door sounded like some kind of crystal and through it I could hear a pair of muddled spots.
Couldn't see through walls with it, but if somebody stood just outside, I could usually detect it from the dampening of the echo.
I was under guard.
Under guard, but is the place magically warded? Teleporting with an injured head was not a good idea.
Could I risk a short teleport, just outside?
Going to have to, had to know what was going on before anypony realized I was awake.
Moving as close to the window I could, I cast a quick teleport spell and disappeared from the room.

I’m gonna hyperventilate
Oh hells.
oh Hiver, I knew I was going to hate your short chapters and penchant for cliffhangers real soon but I didn't expect it this fast. also I really hope Amber came too...
Oh.
Oh no.
Well, at least Starlight seems to have failed enough times to recognize that the world needs a Twilight Sparkle... but now Page has a serious problem. The big question now is: does anyone know Page is gone? Because there has been no mention of Amber or any of Page's guards getting sucked into the portal, and if they did, they'd have landed with Page and Midnight.
So hopefully there's some level of rescue effort starting.
11291234
You know, she would probably get arrested on sight just for being a changling, with this universe never having made peace with them.
Also next chapter, Page and Luna meeting with Page kissing her on sight, earning many confused looks.
11291252
psssha, this is Amber we're talking about. You don't see Amber till Amber wants to be seen.
also
Page after Luna kiss: oh right, not my Luna
Luna: No, but I am now :cadencesmug:
11291258
Yes, that would totally fit her. Or just imagine when they talk about his world and he calls Cadence the princess of food.
...MEANWHILE IN PAGEVERSE...SCREAMS ARE ECHOING IN NOCTURNIS...
Sunburst:
Shouldn't we help him? Discord is part of our herd after all.
Shining:
If we do, we'll be guilty by association!
Cadance:
Shining is right. Luna & Celestia barely tolerates
myour shipping activities as it is. We need to keep low for now. We'll make it up to Discord later!Sunburst:
We can't just abandon hi--
Discord:
NOOOO! Please Starlight! Not the Mexican Sock Puppet Dimension! HAVE MERCY!
Sunburst:
...Nope nope nope. What screaming? Me no hear screaming.
Cadance: Exactly! Discord please forgive us!
Certainly seems like it
Page:
Noooooooo...
Midnight:
Sorry Page. Did I touch a painful spot?
Page:
Not that. Why did you introduce me? I wanted to do the "King Sombra, nice to meet you” joke again!
Midnight:
...that wasn't funny then and it wouldn't be funny now!
Page:
Yes it would SO been funny! Wasted opportunity!
11291223
Breath in,1-2-3-4 out, in 1-2-3-4 out...
Repeat until back to normal or out cold. You are welcome
11291234
Twilight-Midnight reacted poor to her... It would be glorious ♡
11291239
Starlight Glimmer needed years to find Midnight. Hope she was sensible enough to save her effort and made a Checklist:
Universe 'C-002'-'C477', found
MidnightTwilight in C477.The Alliance would be glorious. Also Equestria needs a Nocturnis as well! Unless it is very different from Page Verse?
11291264
To be fair... Without him messing around Nocturnis might not be what it is now!
Should'nt Tempest riding Discord ass? Midnight is her Marefriend after all
11291252
A cruel prank he would not pull... UNLESS:
DOUBLE THE LUNA WAIFUS ♡♡♡♡♡
This times Discord might recognized the other Discord Chaos magic
Discord: "My other Discord self is a genius! Time to turn Ponys batty
11291258
Sharing is caring... Alicorn orgy between Celestias and Lunas with Page from Equestria prime Universe and Page Verse
Death by Alicorn sibling double foursome
Edit:
11291260
Yesss... Feed usss 'mystery voice out of the shadows
11291286
Damn... Good catch! But what if Celestia has the hots for Badcolts? Dangerous ~♡
Is Fluttershy the future leader of Nocturnis perhaps? Changeling, Thestrals of Equestria prime and Tempest Shadow of Page Verse to make a Nocturnis in this Universe
Or other-royal-pony-sisters can do the glimglamslamming ahead of time for you and speed things up,
Shipping opportunity it is, then!
well... this story took an unexpected twist
Cadance sits up from her bed with a start, breathing heavily and eyes open wide. Her pupils shrink to pinpricks.
Cadance: Why does it feel as though an entirely new world of shippable ponies just became available to me?
Shining grumbles by her side, shifting slightly.
Shining: Go back to sleep, dear; it's still dark out.
Cadance slowly relaxes, moving back into a sleeping position.
Cadance: You're right... I'm sure it was nothing important. I really have to stop eating spicy guacamole before bed.
I really hope that Talon made it back too.
11291425
I wonder if he will stick with that name since it's far cooler than Spike
11291430
As soon as you said that, my mind went to adolescents who rename themselves to sound cooler. "Mo~om, my name's Talon now."
Page is gonna be a master of stealth until Midnight turns traitor and reveals his sole weakness; the mango
Has anyone got a towel?
I'm excited to see where this goes next. Hopefully Page teleporting away from the guards assigned to keep him safe won't send the wrong message... Oh who am I kidding?
No grammar errors detected today!
I mean, this is the third time that's happened (although the second was semi-deliberate). That's the point most people stop treating something as special.
While I know that Midnight's map table dimension was still intact, Page's dimensions was destroyed by Celestia and even Midnight herself said that her dimensional signature was more or less aligned with his dimension... So even with Starlight Glimmer's help how were they able to do it? And how will Page get home?
HIVER?!?!? You got some splaining to do?!
you know what this means?.... More Alicorns for Page's Harem
Thanks for chapter!
Have a good day!
Oh dear lordy.
Things just got sideways!
11292317
sideways, upsidedown, put in a blender, and served with a slice of mango
11292473
MaaaaaaAAAAAANNNNNGGGGOOOOOooooooo........
gonna be fun when page has to re-explain to them that he actually has to eat a little meat now. Also that there's tens of thousands of bat ponies hiding in plain sight, without a long term leader like page its gonna be a moral dilema to break that news to celestia, though I guess MidTwilightNight can take that mantle up if she ends up staying. Multiverses are a logistical headache
11292520
Well that's under the assumption that thestrals are facing the same situation as in the Pageverse. It could be instead like the Zebras where they mostly live in a far away country with only a tiny population in Equestria?
Remember that the Canon never knowledged the thestrals as a tribe (Just as a magic spell mistake or a costume idea) so Hiver can go in any direction.
Maybe Midnight will create a stable portal between their two timelines/universes.
This is the second time Page lands in another universe
To be continued...
And suddenly you have my full attention. ;] This looks to be a very promising arc.
Haha, I only thought in the chapter before last that if Starlight realized that everything would be bad without Twilight, she would try to bring her back
Sorry for Translator :3
well that's a plot twist I wasn't expecting. Hiver, are your hips broken now?
Just get Discord to fix it...
chaos magic no longer works on him...
Buck...
So, the portal wasn't a prank, it was the equine fecal matter impacting with the rotary cooling device. Sweet.
