//------------------------------// // Underwhere Return // Story: Master of Dimensions // by Cipher800 //------------------------------// "Ugh, where am I?" Rainbow Dash said as she woke up and looked around. She saw a line of shade-like objects that share strong similarities to Dimentio, but all grey and shadowy. She looked down at herself and saw she was one of them. Then she remembered what happened. Dimentio killed her with his magic, and she was one of those grey shadow things. "Hey!" a voice said. Rainbow turned to see a red demon-like biped in sunglasses say "You's don't belongs here, girly." He pulled out a bone staff with a skull on it and said "You's goin' back to your world, pronto." He wacked Rainbow with it and all went white. Twilight awoke in the Golden Oak Library, and she didn't remember until... she saw what looked like Rainbow's fresh corpse. Then it all went back to her, the fight and this monster who called its, or rather himself Dimentio, he... he killed Rainbow. Why did this happen? Twilight cried because Dimentio killed Rainbow, probably for fun. As she was crying, soft golden light created various fairy-tale art patterns and intricate designs and all that stuff. Rainbow moaned, her eyes fluttered as she made the world out, and then she opened them. "Twi... what are you doing?" she said. The moment she spoke, Twilight tackle-hugged her and said "Rainbow! Your'e alive." "Twilight, get... off of me, I need some personal space, okay." Rainbow said. "I... I... okay. How are you alive? That magic looked lethal!" Twilight said. "When I awoke, there was a line of Dimentio-like beings, and I was one of them, and some demon in sunglasses found me and, said I did not belong here, and he whacked me with a bone with a skull on it, and all went white." Rainbow said. Twilight was puzzled, trying to piece it together and realized "Dimentio's magic must have sent you to the Underworld of his dimension. Interesting." "Fascinating stuff, by the looks of it, the killer bring the victim to the afterlife of the killer's dimension. Intriguing..." Twilight thought to herself before saying "We need to warn our friends about Dimentio so if they see him, they'll be careful. Let's go!" Twilight said. Meanwhile, where Nightmare Moon was purged, in the tallest tower Castle of the Two Sisters, reality flipped into a rectangle, which turned, revealing a strange figure on the other side of said rectangle, which dissapeared, leaving the figure. That figure was Dimentio, who looked around and said "My teleportation has led me to the nearest concentration of dark energy to those stupid ponies for my ultimate show, but where's the energy." He sensed it all around him, everywhere and nowhere at once. "This must be Nightmare Moon's weakened energy!" he said. Nightmare Moon's sentience was long gone by now, and her power sunk into the stones of the castle. Dimentio snapped his fingers as reality made another rectangle, this time revealing a strange DS-looking thing. "Some guy named Fawful gave this to me, so I stashed it in Dimenstion D to be safe. But since he's dead, he dosen't need it anymore." The DS-like object was a detector of sorts which let a satellite dish out, which turned this way and that before coming back in. The detector then said "Energy signature is just above the podium." in text. Dimentio floated over to a podium far away for the stairs. That was the location where Nightmare Moon stood before being purged from Luna. Dimentio cast a spell on the spot to determine the energy and gathered a sample. Dang, it didn't contain any chaos energy, just harmonic magic corrupted by jealousy and hatred, not what he was looking for. Useless to boost his power, but will cloud his judgement. Not good to use. Dimentio's mask glowed as it parted from his body, revealing a shadow-like substance with set of glowing yellow eyes and a matching mouth. His mask floated towards the spot he was analyzing as its light turned into a dark purplish-black. And with an explosion of dark light, there were three masks, one floating back to Dimentio, and the duplicates lay on the ground. He cast a spell on all three, and the mask on his face was revealed to only have the usual expression enchantment he usually casts on it, but the other two had properties like those of the Floro Sprouts he used to take control of that stupid O'Chuncks and turn Luigi back to Mr. L.. Dimentio smiled, he saw that those had possibilities, and floated away, a manticore walking below him, minding its business. Manny, a manticore was walking down the forest. Ever since he befriended Fluttershy, he has doubt why he hunts ponies. But he cannot fight the facts, food is food, so he had to find another food source. Nowdays, he feeds off smaller creatures. Manny was minding his business when suddenly, a strange being descended from the sky. Its body was made up of polygons, unlike the smooth outlines of the forest's creatures. It was also bipedal, wearing a purple and yellow hat and robe. Its legs and disembodied hands were black with a white outline, and it wore a mask with a shadow look, one side being white with a black eye and the other side was black with a yellow eye. The figure then said "Ah hah! So let's get it started, shall we?", laughing. The being created a blob of yellow and purple energy, tossing it at him. Manny dodged, but the being threw something strange, which latched onto his face. It stretched like a rubbery material, encompassing his entire upper face, even covering his upper lip. It went to his ears, and stopped there as his mind was shut down, subjected to the will of the mask.
