//------------------------------// // Chapter 26: Experiment // Story: Blank // by GameMakingOtaku //------------------------------// Chapter 26 Experiment A large dragon flies to the royal city of Canterlot. As it nears, it can see many guards in preparation for a fight. They were not ready for the large beast to go on top of the castle. Many blasts were sent at the dragon, but before one could hit, the dragon seemed to disappear. Inn changed into a winged mouse, and flew into a open window. That was too easy and too fun for Inn. As she scurried about the castle, looking for Princess Celestia, she felt magic wrap around her and lift her up. “Tia, look a mouse. Has there ever been a mouse in the castle this high up before?” asked Luna. She seemed to be herself again, just with a magically flowing, stary mane and tail.. “No, that is odd.” Princess Celestia leaned in close to inspect the mouse. “Princess Celestia, just who I was looking for!” squeaked the little mouse. The princesses looked shocked. “Ah, Tia... have you ever heard a mouse talk before?” “No. Tell me mouse, what is it you wish to speak about?” “Can you set me down first?” Squeak squeak squeak, my what a squeaky little mouse. “Oh, sorry.” Luna blushed as she let the mouse down. “Oh yes, that is much better,” it said before turning into Inn. The princesses jumped. “Oh, Inn... How do I never see you coming?” rhetorically asked Princess Celestia. Inn just smiled, and this irritated the princess. “Let me guess, the dragon invasion just now was you too?” “Ah, well... yes. I've had a bothersome few days, and just couldn't pass up the joke.” “Oh, do tell me how bad it was little Inn.” Luna was getting scared by the threatening tone in her sister's voice. Unfazed, Inn answers, “Oh, but princess... that is precisely what I was coming here to talk to you about.” ============= “Oh! That was quite a few days!” The princesses eyes were wide. They did not expect such a story that included visuals. “So why did you want to talk to me exactly?” asked Princess Celestia, calm and curious. “Do you know why the monsters would have attacked like that?” Inn sounded genuine in her question. “That is a little hard to say.” She pauses to think about it. “There was some things that happened over the course of two to three months, and the results from there made the monster run rampid. There was another who fought like you in Ponyville.” “Okay, thanks for letting me know-, wait! Did you say another who fought like me in Ponyville?” The princesses looked at each other. “Yes, we had to drain her power though,” said Luna. “She was dangerous and we were sealed away by her. It was necessary to prevent if from happening again,” fibbed the princess. Inn new that there was something up with this but felt it best to let it go. “So she could fight off many monsters?” “Yes.” said Luna. Something just clicked in Inn's mind. “Wait! I need to know. How is Luna back to normal... well she still has the magic hair, but she acts normal.” Princess Celestia looks at Luna and back at Inn. “Me and a group of unicorns worked on making her back to normal. She has a mane like mine because she is the one that took the power from the other pony. I fear the spell can only be used on a pony once, and the efforts will not last pass September though.” “Oh...” They talked about how the towns pony were grateful to Inn for the saving the town. How good it felt. How Inn should try and be like that more often. ============= Inn sat, waiting in her hut. She asked Princess Celestia to send a letter to Twilight to meet Inn at her hut. So Inn sits there waiting. Looking out a window. Twilight came in the open door in a panic. “What... what is it?” “When I was just a filly, trying out different things with my ability, I thought I noticed some things.” “What?” asked Twilight, confused and a little worried. “They were so little and minor, I just shrugged them off. I was having too much fun transforming.” “Why are-?” Twilight took a few steps to Inn, only to stop when she was cut off. “When I needed parts for this hut, however, I got into a fight with a dragon.” Inn looks at her leg. “It had pierced my leg. When I was skinning it, I noticed, that there wasn’t blood coming from the injury though.” Twilight looked shocked. “A few more times, things like that happened.” Inn looks up at Twilight. “But, I was just in a massive fight with over a thousand monster. This was only a few days ago.” Twilight gulps nervously. “I have a favor to ask of you.” Inn stands up. “I need to see something. Come with me.” They walked out side. “Inn, what's going on?” asked Twilight nervously. Inn ignored the question. “Stand here.” Inn continued to move up farther. She then turned so her side was facing Twilight. “Stab my side,” Inn demanded. “WHAT!” “I'm going to change forms, I want you to use your horn to stab me.” Inn turns into a three bodied pony with eighteen legs nine heads four wings thirty horns and no matching colors for the body parts. “Do it now.” Twilight starts to back away. “No, I can't!” “I trust you Twilight. Please trust me. Do it.” “Why are you doing this?” “Please, I need to know.” Twilight stands there crying, then she makes the charge. Inn falls over bleeding and in pain, but quickly changes back to her normal self. She looks to see no injury. She changes back to that form and sees it has the hole left by Twilight. Going back as herself she lift Twilight up and shows her the that there is no injury. “See, trust me.”
