//------------------------------// // Waking up // Story: The Last Morphoyd // by Dark Nightshade //------------------------------// 5,000 years later I gasped and opened my whisps versions of eyes. I'm awake! I thought. Wait, that would mean that this prison isn't frozen anymore! The beast must be dead! A few seconds later, I found out how wrong I was. An alarm went off, alerting that not only was the beast not dead, but it was trying to escape, and apparently 99% done! My whisp flew towards the entrance to find the beasts whisp, which was black, instead of white. I then realized something: since I possessed no physical form, I could not stop the beast. But....the high council hadn't told me what some side affects would be, so if the beast could physically destroy the door then maybe that meant that I could hit him. Unfortunately for me, that was when the door finally gave out, and the beast laughed. "If you're going to try and stop me," it said. "Then now would be the ideal time to try!" That is when the second chase started. We zoomed out of the prison jar to find ourselves in....somewhere else. The technology was much different, and the locals that I managed to see while chasing the beast weren't morphoids, although they did look like us when we had a physical form. As me and the beast chased each other, we attacked each other (kind of) by bouncing into each other. This went on for a while, until the beast hit me with such force that I bounced into a building and started ricocheted off of the walls. I heard quite a bit of screaming. I can't get out! These walls are too close together! I thought! I don't like this, but I'll have to morph! I managed to angle myself into a smaller room, so I wouldn't hurt any of the locals. Then I started the absorbing process. "What was that?" Rarity shrieked from behind her keytar as the misterieus white-ish light vanished into the music room's storage room. The light bulbs had broken and the only light coming in was from the moon (Principal Celestia had trusted the girls enough to let them practice super late, especially since it was a Friday). "I don't know!" Sunset Shimmer gasped as she poked her head out from behind the drum set. "I've never seen something like that!" Suddenly, there was a large amount of noise that continued on for about 30 seconds. The girls stared at the door. "Am I the only one who thought that that sounded like a bit of a roar near the end?" Pinkie asked. "No!" Fluttershy squeaked from inside the base drum. "It sounded like a roar!" Suddenly, the door started to rattle and shake. Then the doorknob turned and it opened. Two dinner plate sized eyes looked out into the room as a very big beast somehow managed to exit the musical storage room. The beast looked around the room in what seemed like awe. "Excuse me?" Sunset Shimmer said, standing up. The monster jerked backwards and stared at her in awe, causing a bit of noise. "You speak my language," it said in English, which really surprised the girls. "And yet you're not a Morphoyd. If you don't mind me asking, what exactly are you?"
