I looked at the blank wall in front of me. The hospital room was cold, and unnaturally sterile. My arm had regenerated from the Omnitrix's energy. The doctors wanted to test my regenerative capabilities, but Sombra stopped them from continuing tests. Soldiers and civilians were being treated in the common area. I have never seen such carnage. Ponies had deep cuts and the soldiers had multiple burns and bullet wounds. I paced around the empty room. "Why am I stuck in here? With my powers, I should be out there, helping those ponies. Instead I'm stuck in here." I pounded on the wall. Suddenly the door opened. 

Sunset came walking in. She was wearing an orange dress that went down below her knees. She turned to me with a concerned look. She crossed her arms. "I see your active."

"Being stuck in a room does that to a person." I turned around and walked towards my bed.

"Do you wanna talk?" I could hear how concerned she was. But why would she care about me?

"No.. I'm fine."

"I can tell your not." Her concern started to be replaced with irritation.

"I'm fine." I started to get irritated as well.

"Stop saying that!" She uncrossed her arms, and placed her hands down on the side table.

"Why?!?" I looked her in the eye. "It's the truth!"

"No it isn't!!!" She slammed her hands down on the table.

"Oh really! Why do you even care about me?!?" A silence filled the room. Sunset's irritated expression melted away.

"Ahem." We both turned to see Sombra standing in the doorway. He wore a cold expression on his face. His steeled eyes cut right through me. He turned to Sunset with the same look. "Sunset, I wish to talk to Ben... alone."

"But...!"

"No buts." He pointed out to the hallway. Sunset looked to the floor and sulked out of the room. Sombra shut the door behind her.

"I guess... you heard... all of that?"

"Yes I did."

"Listen I..."

He held his hand up and I shut up. "I heard you ask Sunset, 'Why do you even care about me?'" I was about to say something but he stopped me. He reached behind his cape and pulled out a newspaper. The headline read: 'Unnamed Hero Saves The Monarchy.' "Now ask yourself, why do we care?" He threw down the paper. "That paper has been selling out like crazy. Ponies are becoming more ambitious, and want to join this fight." Sombra walked to the other side of the bed. "You're an inspiration Ben. Your the symbol Equestria needs."

"Yeah a guy who got his arm cut off is really inspirational," I said, with sarcasm bleeding from each word.

"But you are the one who will give your life for the good of others. Ponies want to follow you, and you need to be there for them."

I collapsed on the bed, and thought about what Sombra said. His words began to sink in and a smile crossed my face. "I never thought of it that way."

"Now your seeing through my eyes." A smile crossed over his face. He started to walk off. "You'll be able to leave in a couple hours. You'll be staying in the castle." I gave a nod.

"Sombra?" He turned his head. "Can you tell Sunset that I'm sorry? I never meant to yell at her. I was just stressed out and wiry from being stuck in here all day."

He chuckled. "I know how that feels."

"What do you mean?"

"Just imagine being trapped in the frozen tundra for a thousand years."

"Geez."

"Yup, and I still hate snow." He walked out of the door.

I rested my head against the pillow. "Maybe I'm going to like this place after all."

There was a knock on my door, and a nurse with a tray came in. "Here is your food sir. A hayburger with hay fries and fruit."

"Then there's this."





Vilgax was pacing around his ship. "That brat escaped again. I should've drove that plasma sword though his heart!" He punched the side of the ship.

"What is all that racket? I'm trying to get my beauty sleep," said a female voice. A white alicorn with literal fiery hair in a dark red shirt and pants walked in. Her dark red eyes with gold pupils looked towards Vilgax.

"Sorry Daybreaker, honey. It's just this stupid Tennyson keeps getting away each time!" He slammed his hands onto the ship's console.

"Oh, Villy." Daybreaker placed her hands on Vilgax's shoulder. "That human won't be able to escape again."

"What do you mean?" asked Vilgax with a confused look.

Daybreak mearly laughed. "You'll know soon." She walked away. "And keep quiet!"

"Yes dear."





I looked around the crystal hallways that would be my residency... for who knows how long. The windows depicted different battles, and there were a few that seemed strange. I heard footsteps coming down the hall. Nightmare came up to me with a smile. "It's good to see in good health."

"Thanks." I looked at the windows. Specifically one with her in it. "What are with these stain glass windows?" 

She looked at the window in question, and then down to the floor. "It's a bit painful to talk about."

"Then you don't have to." She looked at me with some confusion. "I know what it is like to talk about something painful. You just have to wait for the right time."

Nightmare smiled. "Thank you Ben." 

We both walked in opposite directions. I kept looking at the windows. I placed my hand against the wall and felt a strange energy. The Omnitrix began freaking out. "What's with this thing?" I started to mess around with it. 

"New DNA added. Data surge commencing." The Omnitrix started to glow bright.

"This can't be good." Electricity began emitting from the Omnitrix. "Oh no." The glow and energy began surrounding me. "Ow ow ow! This actually hurts a lot!" I feel on the ground as the energy left. I looked at the Omnitrix. "I'm really starting to hate you." I rubbed my forehead to clear the fog from it. "Now what is this about new DNA." I sat up and opened up the Omnitrix. I started to scroll through the aliens. "Ok, everyone seems to be here." I then pushed further and found something interesting. "Wait, these guys look like earth ponies, pegasi, unicorns, and... whatever Disord is." I started going further. More creatures began to pop up. "What is going on with this?" I stood up and walked to my room. I layed down and stared up at the ceiling. I took another look at the Omnitrix and it was completely fine. I turned off the light and doze off into the Dream Realm.
