"Those that see their dreams, tend to never find themselves again."
On the outside of the frozen station, the ponies and other races of Equestria seem to be praying for their kind and friends in the station. It's been close to a month since this all happened. Most of the cities have been built. But weren't very far apart, some stayed close together. The small towns were not that far away from each other... But the main big town is known as Luna's soul. The smaller towns are known as Gem town, Changeling's hope. But the castles name Celestia's heart. It's going to be just like Canterlot. But most wouldn't know. It would be a year or two before the ponies are ready to take back their home. They have gotten used to this world. But it's nothing like their old world used to be. But they have learned that when... All the ponies and other races would be removed from the frozen station.
It's very late at night and Luna being in the dream realm. Looking through the dreams of this land. It's new to her in this world. She has more power here than she ever had. But she noticed something she could contact the ponies in the station. But the reason for this was because of Charity. The main one she wanted to speak to though. Was the element of dreams. She tried to gain into the spell. During this, the shield around the station glowed brightly showing that someone is trying to break through it. The ones studying it looked at it, confused. But then it calmed down... While the spell allowed her through, she could see Charity dreaming of her store. She turned to Luna and smiled. "Ah, darling, Luna. Good to see you, dear. I hope the station is treating you well."
Luna blinked, smiling weakly. "Charity... You know we are in a dream, right?"
The unicorn looked up to the Alicorn and nodded. Her smile turned into a frown. The battle was happening again and she sighed softly. "Luna... I am stuck in this dream. Please, help me get out of this dream...how long has it been since we have been stuck in here?!"
Luna sighed and looked towards the station. All the ponies here are in one dream. One dream to hold them all together. All done by Charity. The unicorn just went back to her job. This was the only way the minds of the ponies could stay sane.
"None of the ponies know that we are in a dream. Luna, please don't tell them. But, again..how long have we been stuck here?!"
Luna sighs. "A month Charity... We're in a new world called 'New Celestia', a world where the army of Disharmony will never find us. Also, we can rebuild the station and get a force ready to get our home back. I know many of the Equestrian's will want to stay here. Mainly because it's going to get to the point that many don't wish to go back. Too many dead and too much harm has happened to many of them."
Charity sighs, nodding to Luna she had tears in the corner of her eyes. Luna had to keep up appearance and she smiled at Charity.
"Charity, please fit me for a dress. Don't worry, when it's morning, I will let the others know that you're alive in this shield." Charity gave a nod, rushing to get her measuring tape and started to measure Luna for a dress. It helped her keep her mind off all this. Luna sighed softly and walked along the halls. Seeing ponies live their live's like nothing ever happen. But this would only stay this way. If Charities mind stays pure. So they have been sleeping for this long and dreaming if their lives never had a war or Equestria never attacked.
She finally found Rainbow Cloud and rushed to her. Rainbow looked up at Luna. "Ah, I see you have come into our little prison, Luna."
She blinked, staring at Rainbow Cloud. "Yes...yes. I know this is a dream... Only the element's know it is a dream. I know I'm wounded and that time is frozen. So yes, it's best for us to be the only ones that know. So we can help the other's keep sane." Luna sighed gave a nod. Her eyes closed a moment, showing her unhappiness for all this and she sat down to listen to Rainbow Cloud. "Have you been keeping an eye on Twilight?" Rainbow nodded and sighed, nickering a bit.
"She knows this is a dream as well. But she has been trying to fix things with Spike before we wake up. But I doubt he will try to go along with it. She broke him badly and now he is not even happy that she is here right now. The one that knows it a dream as well is Starlight and she is trying to understand why Twilight allowed herself to get hurt by her husband. But of course, Muffin is unhappy here. She even went for a walk again to try to find things and talk to herself."
Luna gave a nod and looking towards the rest of the station. The station seemed so busy. She left to go check the rest of the station. It seemed like it was before Twilight even turned crazy. This is how ponies wanted it to be. No war, no nothing, just happiness and Luna watched the workers in the background go by every now and then. As she just sat on a bench watching every pony and enjoying the peace for once...if she could she would stay here.
But then, the spell forced Luna out of the dream world and the shield around the station glowed brightly again. A strange discharge happened and a pony was brought out slowly. The pony was a burnt up unicorn mare. A light red unicorn mare known as, Butter Berry. Ponies rushed to her. A Diamond dog knowing her and was one of the ones that escaped the station.
"Butter Berry!!" The mare seemed very out of it. Some medical ponies picked her up and lead her to a hospital tent. The creatures that ran it were the dark weavers. It wasn't going to be easy for the wounded to be taken care of by non-ponies. But now one of the ones studying the shield now fully understands it. She taps on the spell and it vibrated again but this time, no pony was removed from the bubble. It must be when the spell picks whoever they wish to bring out. But at the moment, the tree inside the station. It glow's brightly and it slowly removes itself from the station. The tree flies out of the station and turns into the ship that every pony has seen and then it slowly lands by the station and a root wraps around the station to keep the spell going. A computer showed up on the tree. One of the ponies went and read it. It said. 'The minds of the ponies in the dream state need to be repaired...the dream realm was made to heal the minds... Those who are healed shall be brought out. Estimated time for all ponies and creatures in the station: A few months. The minds are broken and the biggest mind that needs healing is Twilight Sparkle. The ship keeps the computer up so all the others can read it. Luna looked at it herself, blinking. She thought it might be wise for the ponies to leave and allow this spell to take its course.
Luna sighed, walking over to the medical tent watching them work on healing the burnt up unicorn. She was heartbroken seeing that this was the only one that could get out. She calmly walked over to the muted mare. She laid her head on her back and calmly allowed her to know that she is not alone. Eight legs calmly patted Luna's back and she looked up to him. "Listen, Luna, go rest... Get ready to become the Queen of this world. We will watch your subjects." Luna nodded and walked back to her tent to rest. Soon, the new castle and everything will be built and then she can finally beat that crystal and become what she meant to become. The get the station back into space, upgrade it and get it ready to go back to the universe Equestria is located in. She laid her head down on her pillow to rest.
______________________________________________
Eight Legs
The weaver calmly placed his hand on the shield as it calmly vibrated from his strange hands. He went to the computer that the tree has and put in to see how Charity was doing. It seems she is the main reason this is happening. She wishes to heal the minds of the ponies before the spell is released. He left the station, going back to the medical tent to watch the poor unicorn. She was wrapped in many bandages and seemed to be breathing slowly. It was going to be awhile before she would be up and walk about. He left the tent, his mind has so much to think about at this moment. It's not going to be easy since he's been wanting to fix all these issues but he can't. He walked to one of the cities being built. The first one he saw looked so much one Ponyville. They even built it like so. So the ponies who are from there. He watched the ponies and other creatures of Equestria work together to build these cities and towns. At the moment, they are pretty close to each other.
He watched more ships landed, bringing food and such from Equestria it seems they have all kinds of seeds trees and so on. Since this world was made for who ever needed it in mind. So he watched as the ponies seem to sing a little tune of happiness to get apples and whatever else to grow. He noticed all the different farms. He has never seen such harmony even from a race that just lost their world to Disharmony. But it seems no more ponies or other races came with them. Hopefully, the other worlds are peaceful and not harmed by this issue. He was getting worried to the point that most never seem to know how things like this would happen.
He stood there for awhile, watching. Seeing others of his race guarding the ponies. Along with the Alliance, they seemed even though they are safe. Many of the Alliance is not ready to allow them to be alone. In fact, even some of the alliance is helping build their new world. It's not going to be easy. But he looked to see some of the apple trees, looking at one of them and carved in it. 'Applejack's work will live on!' That would mean most of Apple Core's family is here. Maybe this is for the best it's time for the family to be together around this time of pain and hurt.
He then sat on a bench, watching the ponies go by with building parts. They seemed so happy. He looked around, seeing families together. Then he saw two others, Princess Cadence and Flurry Heart. They seemed to be getting ready to find a land for another Crystal empire. They have a shard of the crystal heart. It's being used to find a land that would fit it and maybe repair it. But this means they will never be going back to Equestria. He had a frown form on his face. He's wondering if Equestria will just wither and die then become a new world of Disharmony. It's odd how the things work. It's becoming to the point that he is thinking that he would never see the one he loves, ever. Maybe he needs to think of a way to save it. But it's gotten to the point, most will never know what Equestria is... Young will be born here. They will only know it in legends or in stories. It's something that he is very worried about. But he's even worried all the counter of the elements are waking up... The war will start in a year or two. He looked over at the ponies... They need to be ready to save the universe. But first... time to heal. He closed his eyes and then a nightmare.
<HR>
He opened his eyes, seeing the army of Disharmony beaten. He had a large smile on his face, but something was wrong. The gate broke open. It wasn't the army of Harmony that beat them. It was the villains of Equestria. This is either the future or something to come. The minions of Grogar and all these villains from the past have more might then every other disharmony creature. Hopefully, this never comes to pass, he hopes. But when he turns to the side, he sees Grogar and he starts to speak.
"Ah...you must be one of the new alien races. The ponies seem to trust you. But I don't, I'm sure you wonder... How? Heh, lets just say I know how to enter dreams. The dream realm doesn't just belong to Luna... It belongs to me as well. But I'm only strong enough to bring my power to your new world." He gave a dark smirk. "So alien... The army of Disharmony is extremely foolish if they think we will allow them to control our world... They got it wrong... The ponies don't own our world... We own the world. We always will. It's been our land way before they showed up."
Eight legs was about to speak. But more of the villains of Equestria formed. Crunch the Rock Dog, The bees, Three witches, Tirek and even more. These villains seem so deadly, he is scared himself. But before they could say anything, he wakes. But this time, he wakes into another dream. He looks to see... Discord?
"Eight legs...please...save me... I am stuck here... Please send...some to come and get me. Place me somewhere so...the spell can break... Twilight destroyed my mind. I need my mind to be reconstructed..."
<HR>
He suddenly woke up and got up and rushed to Luna who was overseeing some of the building she turned to see him and she blinked. She seemed to feel his fear.
"Luna...we need to save, Discord. We need to send in a small group to save him so please find someone to save him." Luna gave a nod. She thought a moment, the wheel's in her head turning. She knew a group of Equestrian's that came with them that could head back. She flew up into the air and the weaver watched her fly away.
Luna flew towards a training center of this army. This Equestrian army is trained to fight and kill. Not used that often but when they are they do the job amazingly. When she walks in, the group bows. She looks to a female Yak, known as, Raggy. A very ragged Yak, heavy armoured commando. She looked to the next one, a changeling that was known for changing and spying. Then she found the leader of them. A diamond dog. KNown as Bacardi. These three were the main of the commando unit the others... Got very badly wounded during escaping Equestria. So it's just these three.
"I got a job for you three... I want you to do this..without harming any Equestrian... I need you to go back to Equestria save Discord and then bring him back. If you get captured, allow yourself to be killed... No pony can be allowed to know our new planet." The three nodded, getting their gear and headed to their ship. It has a strange cloaking system. They give Luna a salute and then fly off, leaving the planet. It would take them a month to get back and then return.
Luna goes back to what she was doing. She calmly goes back to overseeing the building of the new Ponyville or what it's going to be called New Harmony.
<HR>
The unicorn known as Butter Berry opens her eyes and tears stream down her face. She starts to cry. So much pain in her body. One of the Seven Fang's wraps his arm around her body gently. He holds her close and strokes her back. "Shh, it's okay little mute one. I may be from a race of warriors and crying to us shows weakness... But you need this. I'm one of the Seven Fang's race. I know you're a market store owner. Maybe I can build you one... To sell whatever your wares are. So please release your sorrow and pain."
The muted unicorn keeps crying, all her pain being released. She needs her friends that protected her so much. In her mind, why was she rescued first? Why did the others not get freed? But her mind was never that broken. She was out of it for most of the battle and never seen half of the craziness going on. She slowly calms after awhile and the Seven fang smiles and strokes her mane. "I heard you can speak with your magic."
She blushed gently, giving a gentle smile and her horn glows softly. The voice sounds kind of robotic... Since magic turns on the device in her neck. That helps her speak. "Thank you... I...can't speak that well..." She gave a weak smile.
He nodded. "Now, let's go ask if we can get you a store built. Because I take it you won't be going back to the station?"
She thought a moment. Her horn glowed to calmly let her speak again. "I might return to the station when it's placed back up into space... But for now... I feel it's wise for me to stay." She then goes silent. She felt that this creature would protect her. She didn't even have to ask for what he said next.
"I will be your bodyguard little, Butter Berry. I will protect your store in this world and the station. I give you my weapons, my claws and my soul. As I will protect you until my death."
Her light red face turns a dark red. She nodded, speaking with the robotic voice. "I am honoured... Come, let's go speak to Luna and get it all going." He nodded and she calmly stood on her hooves a bit of a pain since her muscles are very weak. She slowly walks, her hooves making soft sounds as she walks. It would take her time. But most ponies were watching her with a smile. She was hoping her family was here too But she knew her family worked for Twilight so she doubt that... She would see them if she did... They wouldn't treat her very well.
The seven fang's creature was not far behind her. He held a large sword. He didn't trust this world because of the bat-like creatures but they seemed peaceful. She walked up to Luna, turning to see Butter Berry and her face brightens up seeing the muted mare, wrapping a wing around her calmly. "Ah, miss, Butter Berry... How can your Queen help you?" Butter Berry looked to the Seven Fang and he stood beside her as he began to speak.
"I'm Cold Tooth, of the Seven Fangs. I have become her bodyguard. She wishes to have her home built and a store built for her as well. She will stay out of space for a year. She will help bring an economy and make sure that every part of it works." Luna nods and thinks a moment and looks to an empty spot near some trees and a small river. She rushes to the workers and whispers to them and they nod. She trots back with a smile on her face.
"They will build you a home and a store in it... Then will also build you a cart you can take from place to place on market day." Butter Berries' face brights up, nodding and sits down on her haunches.
Cold Tooth smirks as he pats her head. "Come along my friend." Cold Tooth leads her back to the medical tent to get her bandages changed.
<HR>
It's been most of the day now Luna goes to do her main job, which was taking care of the dream realm. She is going to see if the issue that is happening before is still going on. When she gets into the dream world, it's still calm and she looks around seeing the workers fixing. She noticed Chaser, who is being herself. But the thing is, Chaser is one that has caused many issues. But she is needed in the grand way of things. Luna walked calmly up to Chaser before she began to speak calmly. " Miss Chaser. I need to speak to you."
Chaser looks up from what she was fixing and she smirked. "Oh, does the Princess wish to sleep with me?" She gives a wink and a smirk.
Luna sighed rolling her eyes. "No, Chaser, I need to speak to you." Chaser nodded, still having that smirk. They both walked away into a private spot and Chaser's smirk went away.
"Luna, you don't have to lie to me... I know where we are... We are in a dream... The fact I can feel my mind being worked on as you speak to me. I have a feeling you want me to be brought out next?"
Luna blinked, her eyes went wide and she sighs. "Yes, Chaser we need a worker like you to help build in our new world. Please, will you do this for me and talk to me about what is bothering you and keeping you here?"
Chaser sighs and chuckles. "What is bothering me, Luna? The fact that Equestria fell from grace... I know sooner or later it may go back to grace. It's not why I sleep with others so much though. I do that because eh, it's sex, it's fun. But remember, us workers are just in the background. Maybe someday we will be more in the foreground and more will learn about me and the others who break ourselves. Also, of course, the fun I get in this dream is interesting. But I shall do what you ask since I will find others to please." She smirks. "So, I am ready to go." Chaser vanished from the dream. Luna smiled softly to herself. She brought another one out. Maybe she needs to speak to another to free them. She then finally sees Spike, her eyes full of tears seeing his tail is now gone. The fact that he is probably going to die if he is removed but she needs to speak to him.
She calmly walks over to Spike but the one that stepped in front of her was Starlight. "It's not wise, Luna...his mind is the most broken of all. Twilight is in a prison and her mind can't be healed. So I would think it might be wise to bring her out last. But Spike... The spell might be wise to wrap around him personally and then remove him but I don't see that working. But I am willing to leave this dream... We all know this is a dream."
Two voices speak... Two voices that she knows. "Starlight..."
"Hello, Starlight."
Starlight's eyes fill with tears seeing her two friends... Thorax and Trixie.
She turns to Luna, sobbing. "Don't do this to me, Luna, please!" Luna sighs, placing a wing over her.
"This ain't me doing it, Starlight. It's your own mind... This is you trying to fix your pain and your mind. The only way to fix it, is saying goodbye to them." The mare that caused so much pain in the past. Who went through time just to ruin Twilight's life finally sees what she can't do, say goodbye to two friends that she feels that died because of her mistakes.
Luna places a wing over Starlight's back and smiles. "Go with them, Starlight." Trixie and Thorax walk off along with Starlight while Luna goes to find another to speak to, for more of the workers.
<HR>
Starlight's point of view.
Starlight lead them to grey sector. Most of the poor lived here most of the broken minds. That needed a lot of work themselves. Trixie started to speak. "Starlight you know...full well the great...and powerful Trixxxxe doesn't blame you for what happened. Starlight, it was bound to happen. You were sent into a trap. It was going to happen sooner or later. I'm dead...but I am talking to you through my spirit that you remember through your mind." She smiled and nuzzled her dear friend. Starlight just had tears streaming down her face. It's something she wanted. She wanted to forgive herself. But She couldn't at least she felt she couldn't. So many got hurt because of her. She enslaved an entire village, she did so much to many other ponies. She even broke the hearts of many that cared for her. Trixie walked away from Starlight for the moment and then Thorax walked up to her and Starlight's tears streamed down even more.
"Starlight...don't blame yourself for what happened to me. I know you had no choice in the matter. You had to run or she would have killed you... Even if you died... But it's something that was going to happen. She wanted revenge on you. It's always going to be tough. I'm sorry I wasn't there to protect you... But she beat me with no issue. I knew I wasn't ready to be king of the Changlings. I knew a long time ago, Starlight... That I was going to end... My race of Changelings are long dead now. Even if they found a new way to get love. We will no longer exist. You need to say goodbye to the two of us."
The poor unicorn falls to the ground, sobbing so hard. The tears are tears of pain. She looks back on everything. looking up and seeing all the ponies she hurt. She knew they all forgave her in the past. It's going to be very hard for her to accept it. Then she saw him... Starburst. Her friend but she never saw him again after. She never learned his fate. Maybe someday she will learn about his fate.
She then stood up slowly as Sugar spoke. "You're the most amazing leader we ever had, Starlight... Please, save Equestria for us."
Starlight nods and the group vanished but the two remaining were Trixie and Thorax.
"Trixie... Thorax...Goodbye..." She sobs hard as she watches the two vanish and she is removed from the dream world. All that is left behind is her tears. A janitor that is a diamond dog, wipes them up and goes on with his job.
<HR>
Luna had to find one of the workers a close friend of Chaser's, Shadow Flight. She looked around and finally found her. She was fixing a power box and she turned seeing the Princess and she bowed.
"Oh, Princess, are you here to try to remove me from the dream casing? Yes, I know too... It's interesting. But I can tell you this I have no broken mind... I just don't know why I am still stuck here. But maybe soon I will be removed and then I can keep an eye on Chaser. Since she has been busy for days." She rolled her eyes and laughed.
"Yes, yes, Shadow, we know how she is... Anyway, now I am sure there is a reason why you're still stuck here. But I can force the spell to let you go. It will keep you from your mind healing whatever your mind is trying to heal. But it might be something you can't get over."
Shadow shrugged her shoulders."Eh, who knows really." Luna nodded and lowered her head to place her horn on the Pegasus and she vanished from the dream. Now three have been removed. She has one more she needs to talk to. That is Savannah. So she can try to find what happen to Muffin. She walks to the Medlab and sees no wounded and the doctors just sitting and relaxing to allow their minds to relax.
Savannah was with them calming their minds. She spoke in the exotic voice. "Yes...that's it all your minds to be cleansed and you will be out of here in no time." She stood up, leaving the others behind and walked over to Luna and smiled. "Ah, Princess, how may I help you?"
Luna gave a very gentle smile. "I am searching for your other half, Savannah."
Savannah blinks and her ears fell. "Yes...many have been searching for her... But this is her own way of healing. Allow her to walk till she removes herself from this dream. I would say the one you need to talk to though is Twilight. I can lead you there." She blinked and nodded. They both left the Medlab and there was a strange part of the station. That is not even part of the real station. In the middle is a heavily caged Twilight. Chains were strapped to her wings and her body to keep her down. She looks at Luna, standing up quickly and rushing to the cage.
"Lu..na let me out... I am cured... Please, please!" The princess of the night sat down on her haunches and stared at Twilight. She had an unapproving look.
"Twilight, you know I can't. You basically almost killed everypony on the station. You caused Equestria to burn. Now we have to have a new world because of you and your minions. I am sorry but we can't allow you to be free. Our new world will not welcome you. When the castle is finished we are going to place you in a prison and then you will be sent in front of a court. You will be trialled for all the crimes you caused. Even if you were under control of Disharmony, you will be held accountable for the murder of Rainbow Dash. The murder of Trixie, the murder of Thorax the murder of everypony in the ships you sent after us. The soldiers you sent to die. Everypony in the crystal empire. Even what you did to Ponyville and you will be held accountable for everything. I will sit there watching and enjoy every moment of it. But the biggest thing you need to be held accountable for is Discord and Spike."
Twilight's eyes filled with anger as she tries to lash at Luna. "I did nothing wrong! I'm a good Queen, you should bow to me! I will not allow you to do this to me!" She was panting, her eyes glowing. She was away from the army of Disharmony then she realized what happened as tears form in her eyes and she looks down. Twilight finally noticed she deserves this.
"But I will make sure you will not be killed. I will make sure you have your mind freed from what you did... But you will be forced to remember every single thing you did and then you will never heal. But you will be better for it. I am sorry to say but you deserve this, Twilight. I will choose the time when the court happens." She stood up and she could hear Twilight sobbing as she vanished from the dream.
<HR>
On the outside of the station, three ponies were brought out and then layed on the ground. Weaver's carried them to the medical tent. Chaser had many burns all over, Shadow Flight had two broken wing's and Starlight seemed to have many burn wounds from blasters but she will live. Luna was still working on the dream world. Butter Berry got on her hind legs seeing who it was and she tried rushing to them but Cold Tooth stopped her, shaking his head.
"Let them heal first, Butter. It's wise." She nods and lays down to finally fall asleep as Cold Tooth stands watch, holding his weapons ready to protect his charge. It's something he has been wanting to do for a long time. It's not going to be easy for him but he's happy to be here. He watches the Equestrian military fly some Star Fury's they repaired along with some Equestrian ships finally landing. It ships that made it out and that are part of the resistance, they land far away and it seems they are starting to build a star port. It was time for this world to become the new seat of Equestria.
New Celestia is a world long away from their universe and in a universe that is protected by powerful magic and tech. A tech that will protect them until the end of its life. It will never happen of course but the moon glows in the sky while the stars twinkle. He wonders what is going on with the army of this Disharmony but for now, he watches Butter berry have a decent sleep.
In the tent, the three are set on cots to let them rest. While the doctors clean and repair their wounds. Chaser getting the burns cleaned and bandages placed along her. Starlight getting all the burn wounds cleaned out and repaired. Shadow Flight, her wings are being set and wrapped, her hooves are being cleaned of the caked blood. It seems these three didn't get the brunt of all the issues that I have happened. These poor ponies have been through hell and back. They're starting to get used to the pain and the idea that they're no longer at home.
They now have a new world. They're now at peace, for the time being, of course, they have their lives again, all they need to do is wait a year or two, then they will be ready to take the fight against Disharmony save the worlds free them. Then rescue Equestria.
