Nightmares Coming to Life

by Spore Harvest


Chapter 9 "epilogue"

It has been several days since the now dubbed elemental nightmare incident and everything has turned back to the way it used to be... Well almost.

Our six friends were bestowed the equestrian pink hearts for protecting all of Equestria against a mighty foe. They excepted them proudly and wore them for the rest of the celebration. To no ones surprise Pinky prepared a huge party to apologize for what the elements did and to celebrate the victory. The party lasted for a whole three days and everyone was enjoying themselves. But after those three days, everyone went home and enjoyed some well deserved R&R.

"*sigh* That was one heck of a party wasn't it Derpy." Said the Doctor to the aforementioned pegasus. They were both walking towards their home after they just departed from the train station.

"It sure was Doctor, but I am glad to be back in Ponyville with hopefully no new evil being bent on world domination appearing anytime soon."

"I second that." The doctor said with a big smile on his face. He was very tired from the events that unfolded prior and the party so the first thing that he was going to do was get some sleep.

"So Doctor do you know what we are going to do with these relics? I mean I like them, but we do have a dress code at the post office." Derpy asked while looking at the necklace.

"You just put it somewhere safe Derpy. I am just going to keep wearing it." He said while adjusting said hat. "Besides if I really wanted to keep all of them safe we would have left them with Celestia."

"Oh yeah. That would have been better, but they are sentient so probably not." Derpy then noticed her house and flew towards it. "Well, goodnight Doc see ya tomorrow."

"Goodnight Derpy." And then they both went their separate ways.

Vinyl and Octavia were both in their shared house preparing something for dinner. They didn't stay the full three days at the party, which was a surprise to Octavia since she expected Vinyl to stay. "So Vinyl why didn't you stay at the party? I thought that DJ-PON3 would want to please the masses with her wubs."

"Yea ain't gonna happen Octy because I was so tired that I was basically running on caffeine alone. Honestly, I just want to relax and enjoy myself for a bit." Vinyl said while setting the table for the both of them.

"Yeah, you're right. Honestly, I'm just glad to be home and enjoying my house without having to fight several nightmare infused ponies." Octavia said, levitating the soup to the dining room table. When she did she served the food and sat down to eat.

"You're getting pretty good with that levitation of yours." Vinyl said after which she dug into her meal.

"I guess I did. I can see why it can be so useful and it makes doing chores so much more fun." After that she made her spoon fly around like a plane. "Definitely happy with it."

"Do you think well have to give these back to Discord. I mean he is the one who made them?" Vinyl asked.

"No, we won't have to. I managed to find him at the party and asked him myself. He said it was okay for us to keep them. So yeah they are ours to keep."

"Oh sweet. Then I am going to go and modify my routine to include him in it." She said while standing up and walking towards her room. "Actually I'm going to do that right now." With that Octavia soon heard loud techno music blaring from her room making the whole house vibrate to the beat. When said beat dropped Octavia's dinner flew directly into her face.

Octavia stood there for a second and after that, she wiped the food off her face revealing an angry scowl beneath. "VINYL!!!!" With that battle cry, she ran up the stairs and into said ponies room to quiet her down, but she made the mistake of opening the door. When she did she was sent flying straight through her wall and landed on her bed unconscious.

Bon Bon was back at her shop and after word spread of how she helped save Equestria business was booming. She was selling so much that she was barely able to keep up with the orders, but it was made allot easier with the help of Lyra. She and her magic made quick work out of all the treats and she was also tasting the candy to make sure it was up to code.

After they finished the last batch of hard candy in the afternoon they finally had some time to unwind. For that Bon Bon decided to prepare tea for both of them. "Hey, Lyra I'm going to prepare some tea. You want any?"

"Yeah would love some. Two sugars and no cream please." Lyra said while sitting on the couch in her unusual way. Bon Bon just shook her head and went to prepare the tea. After five minutes she returned with the soothing drink and placed it on the coffee table after which she sat on the couch next to the mint coloured unicorn. "So did they figure anything out about the artefacts ar the agency?" She asked after taking a sip of her tea.

"We did. We figured out that this gem." She pointed to her gem. "Contains a fully formed universe of its own. With one presence being able to actually talk to us."

"Really! There is a whole world inside these?" Lyra asked completely shocked.

"Yes, they do. It's quite fascinating. Isn't it." At that moment they both heard a beep and BonBon checked a weird device after which she sighed. "Sorry, Lyra. Duty calls. We have a 32 19 at the base and I really need to come and fix it." She said while grabbing a book which opened a secret passage.

"No problem Bon Bon I'll watch the house in the meantime. You just show them what agent Sweetie Drops can do." Lyra said, finishing her tea and bringing the tea set to the sink. Bon Bon simply smiled.

"Thanks, Lyra. I should be back in the morning." With that, she slid down the passageway which closed behind her.

With nothing else to do, Lyra simply decided to climb on the couch and drift of to sleep.

***Chaos dimension***

The chaos dimension a place of wonder, fear, excitement and basically any other emotion. It is a world with no rules in which everything seemed impossible exists and everything possible is impossible to grasp. This is where Discord lives and is free to express himself however he wishes.

Currently, he was preparing a tea party for him and his six new friends. "Oh, I do hope that they enjoy this chocolate tea. It's been a while since we sat down and talked." At that moment his volcano started spewing bubbles. "Oh, it's already time. Then let's get this party started."

With that, he snapped his fingers and sure enough, his six new friends appeared. Those friends were the six artefacts he himself created. He used a little bit of his magic to give them actual bodies to inhabit. And sure enough, six bipedal creatures were now sitting around the table.

The creatures were all made out of gold with their respective gems on their right hands. They also looked very different from one another.

Radiance was female in shape and had black straight shoulder-length hair. She was also wearing what looked like a black suit with a red bow tie for her top and a grey skirt for her bottom. She was also wearing knee high grey boots. Muffin was also female in body shape, but she had blonde hair. She was wearing a simple blue T-shirt and jeans with white sneakers. Then we have the last female shaped creature, which was Gadget. She had short black hair that looked like it was shaped like a buzz axe. She was also wearing a black leather jacket with a shirt underneath with a skeleton on it. She also had grey jeans and steel-toed boots.

Then we also have the other three which were all male in shape. Wub had his hair in a big afro and was also wearing dark blue sunglasses. He had on him a white jacket and white bell bottom pants with white dance shoes. Blinky had very short brown hair and was wearing a generic black T-shirt with the Cloud Buster sword on it and blue jeans. He was also wearing sneakers. And then we come to Fez. He was wearing the aforementioned hat on his head with no hair. Instead, he had a well-groomed beard on his face. He was wearing a large black trench coat and black dress pants and shoes.

All of the described characters were staring at Discord and their surroundings with their expression ranging from intrigue to anger. After some time Discord started to talk. "Well I can see-" But that is as far as he came before he got an armoured fist to the face, which sent him flying into the wall.

"You have no idea how long I wanted to do that you crazy chimaera." Gadget said after which she sat down and took a sip of her tea. "Please do continue."

When Discord managed to get himself out of the wall he sat back at the table. "You have a mean left hook and no manners Mis Gadget, but do control your temper so that I can explain." Nobody said anything in protest so he continued. "Okay as you already know I transferred you all to an Equestria of your own in which you each got some power or another. You all made your lives in there and I am going to return you to it, but for now, I will answer your questions, if you have any that is." Discord said after which he took another sip from his drink.

"Yeah, I have a good one. Can I get an orange and chocolate pie?" Asked Blinky. To that Discord just snapped his talons and the treat appeared in front of him. "Thanks." The rest of them just stared at him except for Muffin who also took a piece and started eating.

"Okay then... What are the answers to all of the universe's questions?" Wub asked. Discord again snapped his fingers and a book appeared in front of Wub. When he opened it he found that on all the four hundred pages was written the number 42. "Aight."

"Uh, can I try... Okay, then how much wood could a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood?" Muffin asked after she finished her slice of pie. Discord got a bit annoyed but still answered.

"He couldn't chuck any wood because he can't grab it with his paws." He said. After that Radiance wanted to ask something but was interrupted by Discord. "If you want to know how I keep my mane like this, the answer is a lot of glue and concrete. But seriously no one wants to ask why I brought them here. No one at all." The six humanoids simply shook their heads. Discord simply facepalmed and sighed.

"Look Discord." Radiance said. "It's not that we don't want to, it's just we don't need to. We all know that it was you who sent us to those worlds and that it was you who turned us into those artefacts. We may not be as wise as Celestia but we all have knowledge of the show... and the way the email looked when you sent it to us gave you away pretty quickly."

"Yeah. At first, I just answered it as a joke, but when I woke up it made a lot of sense." Added gadget.

"So yeah next questions. Can you talk to other Discords from different timelines and or dimensions?" Asked Muffin.

Discord was shocked. They figured him out right off the bat. He really was losing his touch, but that didn't bring him down too much as he continued to answer their questions. They were talking for hours upon hours until they finally finished their tea. "Well that was a lot of fun but I have to ask Fez why didn't you ask anything? Now that I think about it you didn't say anything during your stay."

Fez then picked up the tray and a nearby marker and wrote that he is mute on it.

"Oh okay then. Well, anywho I hope that we can gather like this again. Maybe next week same time?" They all agreed and then he sent them back to their respective worlds. "Okay, let's see what Fluttershy is up to." He said as he snapped his fingers, teleporting himself to her.

***The friendship castle***

"So princess did you enjoy your vacation?" Twilight asked. They were all gathered in the cutie map room. They were all going through their experiences as rulers of their own district. They didn't have that much to say about that so they instead talked about how the princess's spent their free time. After some time they finished with everything and were left in a comfortable science.

"So what are we going to plan out for next time?" Pinkie asked. Everyone just looked at her funny and then laughed. After some time Pinkie joined in as well, but when the laughter died down she said. "No seriously though what are we going to do next time."

Then they looked at each other and stayed silent already brainstorming their next plan.
