Awoken

1. The Story

I wake up and put my hand though my hair. Oh wait no. That's not right. Let me correct myself. I wake up and put my hoof through my mane, only to be stopped by a horn. Having hooves was something…new. They are definitely different than hands and feet. Imagine your shoes being very tight and all your toes and fingers have been cut off. No pain of course coming from this and the edges of your hands and feet have been shoved into four circles. That what it’s like to have hooves from a human perspective. I almost giggled at the thought that I could go outside without any shoes on, but then I started feeling some little twitches from my back.
Wings. The most amazing things ever. I kept trying to flick them and make them move, but it was to no avail. I would try to work them later. I also tried to do something with my horn but of course, it too was to no avail. I started to look around and see before me six sleeping alicorns in place of my friends. Oh wait, they’re are my friends. We were all alicorns because I had given them a mixture of the spectra of earth ponies, unicorns, and pegasi. The suddenness of the situation shocked me and I couldn’t control shouting, “Oh my gosh! I turned the Mane 6 into alicorns!”
“Huh? Wass hapnin?” Everyone seemed alert by this and started waking up with me. They started stretching and yawning; normal waking up stuff. Rainbow Dash came over to me as she tried to comfort me. “Yeah, we’re alicorns. So what? We’re all safe and sound, right? Well for now at least.”
“Well yes, but that’s what im worried about. We are now in a position where we are the only ones that might be able to even try to fight against Screwball.”
“What are you talking about, Dash? We always have Princess Celestia, as well as Princess Luna, to aid us in fighting that very twisted mare and take her down. We have nothing to worry about, Dash.”
“Well normally I would say the same thing, but there might actually be something we do need to worry about. You see, I got a vision from Princess Celes-“
It was at that time that I heard a familiar over-dramatic shriek from a certain marshmellow pony, but of course I knew that in this case that it was not over-dramatic, but well deserved. Outside our little cave, Rarity, and soon the others as they saw what she did; beholding the world that was shown to me by Discord. They saw the deformed hybrids and all that came with them. I saw Fluttershy cry for all the people/ponies that were in pain, and she was soon join by the others, including Rainbow Dash. I couldn’t cry, as I had already seen this world beforehand, so none of this was really shocking. I waited for them to finish taking in the initial realization of what happened to either the ponies or humans(I couldn’t tell which world I was in so I didn’t know), and afterward, they talked for a little bit, nodded when they had finished, and Rainbow Dash came up to me and spoke for the group when she asked, “You were about to tell me something bad, weren’t you Dash?”
“Yea, I was. You see, I think we might be on our own here. While I was unconcious, I had a vision or…it was more like a metaphysical talk with Princess Celestia. Anyways, she told me that I, along whoever I was with, were both Earth’s and Equestria’s last hope. I think she was assuming the worst, and relinquished the sole duty of saving both Earth and Horth to me. I am sure she had another plan in case it was that we failed, but we must assume that she didn’t and that we really are the last hope. The thing is, I don’t know what to do. Screwball has any way of turning us back to the way we were, as well as those on Earth and Horth, Discord is nowhere to be found, the Princesses might have been caught in this, which leaves us having the great duty of having to basically storm the Factory, take control of Screwball in some manner, and find out how she spread the spectra across two worlds, then replicate it, even if it is impossible to do so. I don’t think we can do this guys. We dont have any real power here. You guys might be able to use your wings and horns just fine, with some minor problems with the new additions of either a horn, wings, or even both in Applejack's and Pinkie Pie's cases, but me...I'm just still getting used to being a pony in general. I would have been more of a help if I was still human, but my lack of planning, as well as my brony instincts, messed up any chance of us being able to do anything.”
"But Dash," Rainbow Dash started, "wasn't it true that you also became a pony because you loved me and that you wanted to be like me? Don't forget the reasons that matter. You might have had some secret and stupid reasons for doing it,"
"Not helping."
"But you also had good reasons too. Don't be too hard on yourself."
"Yea, I may have had good intentions, but now we lose any way of conquering this bad stuff.
I was about to give up all hope, but something caught my eye. A piece of paper. Just sitting there all wrapped up and everything. Like a delivery. It read, “So, you wanna save the worlds? Meet at Suger Cube Corner then. I have seen all the things that have happened including your escape from the Factory. I must say that I am impressed with that stunt. Not many have been able to achieve this; you, Scootaloo, and Rainbow Dash being the only holders of that title. I know we may have had a complacated start, but i think now, in light of current events, we can team up against the evil that now plagues us. I expect your quick arrival." Sincerly, Discord. P.S Bring everyone, as you may be setting off after our meeting.” We all had decided to go, as it might be our only chance at accomplishing our goals, but of course, there was one certain crazy pony who wanted to go for the sweets.
