Right when Ace was about to leave, he suddenly felt the ground disappear beneath him. However, the sensation of falling never occurred. It was as if gravity itself left him. Suddenly, the world faded away before his very eyes. He was left in some sort of void. He looked around. There was exactly nothing around. He looked around panicked, straining his eyes for something, anything. He galloped at full speed in an undefined direction. It literally dragged on forever. He sat down, hopeless. He wondered if he could ever get back to the Equestria he once knew and loved, although in the back of his mind, he knew he couldn't. All the missed chances, everything gone. He was interrupted when he heard something of hooves tapping on glass in the distance. Fueled by hope, he dashed to the direction in which it came from. At full speed, he hit a wall of some sort headfirst, giving him a snoutbleed. He ignored it. The tapping became more urgent. He looked beyond the foggy black glass. He saw an obscured purple figure. He heard muffled: 
"Ace, Hrts mr!" She said.

He didn't quite understand her.

"What?" He asked, realizing this was the first time he's talked in an absurdly long time.

"Ace, its Me!" She said, slightly less muffled.

He took a bit to recognize her, but it was Twilight.

"Twily!" He exclaimed, ecstatic. 

"...How am I going to get out of here?" He asked.

He swung a hoof at the wall, with a reverberating 'Ding' the wall shook slightly.

He hit the glass again, it shook more.

Again. This time, it started tipping. Ace galloped as fast as he could, the colossal wall was falling on his side.
It started gaining velocity. He certainly couldn't make it. It fell on him, at least 100 tons falling on him. He definitely died. Yet somehow, he was still conscious. He was still in the same room. He noticed he was sitting down again. The distant tapping sounded familiar.

"Wait, didn't this just happen before?" He asked her.

"What?" She asked.

"Twily, I think I just died from this wall."

"What?" She asked again, more shocked than confused.  

He swung a hoof at the wall, with a reverberating 'Ding' the wall shook slightly.

"Twily, help me..." He gasped, horrified.

As if he had no control of his own legs, he swung a hoof at the wall, with a reverberating 'Ding' the wall shook slightly.
