Dimentio's Fun Begins
John seemed to be floating through a dark void, the place seemed oddly familiar. He wasn't alone in this void, directly in front of him was...uh-oh.
"Hmm? Do you like what I've done with the place?" Dimentio asked as his apparition floated closer.
"Where are we?" John asked cautiously.
"This is your-or rather our- mind. I plan on changing that to 'my' mind soon enough." Dimentio said with a yawn.
"That's not okay, Dimentio." John said preparing to dissuade the demented jester.
"Aaanyway, you may want to get back out there." Dimentio said as if he hadn't heard John's previous statement.
"Why?" John asked as he felt himself slowly waking.
"Well, I have so much to do! This place is simply a mess, I still need to dabble a bit in your memories and see what I can use. As you can probably tell, I'm very very busy. Now shoo! Get out! Scat!" Dimentio said with finality as he basically kicked John back into the waking world.
"Well sorry for thinking you needed help against this monster!" Was the first thing John heard, the voice was obviously Rainbow Dash. From what she was saying, it was apparent that she was the 'blue blur' that had knocked him out cold earlier.
"He's not a monster!" Twilight protested.
"You're trying to tell me that that thing isn't a monster after what happened yestarday? I mean c'mon it was obviously attacking you!" Rainbow Dash argued back.
"He wasn't!" Twilight yelled.
"Ow." Was all John could manage as he scratched his head.
"Hey! I got this!" Rainbow Dash yelled as she grabbed a book off of the floor and attempted to knock John out again.
"No no no no no no no no!" John said as he scrambled to his feet and began to run from the book wielding pegasus.
"Rainbow Dash!" Twilight screamed as she used her magic to stop Rainbow in mid-air.
"Twilight, you can't be seriously protecting this monster!"
"Calm down Rainbow, he isn't some mindless beast. He speaks perfect Equestrian!" Twilight said.
"I speak English." John whined.
"Equestrian."
"English."
"Equestrian!"
"English!"
"Pinkie Pie!" Yelled a third voice startling John and eliciting an eye roll from Twilight. The culprit was right in front of John, so close that he could feel the breath from her nostrils. A massive grin adorned her face.
"Hi there you must be new in Ponyville cause I know everyone and I mean everyone in Ponyville! I thought you were the guy that just attacked Sugarcube Corner but I can tell you aren't because you aren't blowing ponies up today!" Pinkie said this so quickly that John was struggling to keep up. Suddenly Pinkie's eyes grew even wider than before as she took in a sharp intake of air.
"Are you oka-" John was interrupted by a cupcake in his mouth and a pink blur dashing out of the tree.
"Well, looks like you're getting a party." Said Twilight while burying her face in her hoof.
"How do you know that?" John asked curiously while eating a bit of the cupcake.
"Well, Pinkie throws a party for everypony." Rainbow Dash answered.
"Uhuh, and as you can see I'm not a pony. And won't the town be a bit wary of me after what allegedly happened yestarday?" John argued. It wasn't as if he didn't want a party, he just didn't want Dimentio to be in a place with innocents all around.
"I'm sure Pinkie will explain it to everyone. Despite her demeanor, most of the ponies here take what she says very seriously."
"Worried about little old me?" Dimentio asked in a false sweet voice.
"No." John said aloud causing Rainbow to raise a brow towards him.
"He's just talking to Dimentio." Twilight explained.
"Dimeni-what now?" Rainbow asked.
"He's the monster you actually need to watch out for." John stated causing Rainbow to give a look of annoyance.
"I still have my eye on you, what makes you think I believe it when you call somepony else a monster?" The prismatic one pointed out.
"He's not a pony either, and he would probably kill us all if he had the chance." This statement elicited a gasp from everyone in the room.
"Would he really do that?" Twilight asked as if she should have seen it before.
"Yeah, well he tends to get a bit genocidal on the occasion so I may need some help keeping him in check." John shrugged, he was surprised how casual he felt about this now.
Meanwhile, back in John's mind
Dimentio was humming and messing with a few things, he was sure to keep John from being worried about him for now. Dimentio needed complete focus in his current work.
Back to the regular world
"Well in that case...we may want to introduce him to all of the other Element bearers." Twilight suggested while already walking towards the door.
"I'm going too, I've got to keep an eye on him." Rainbow Dash stated as she pointed a hoof at John.
"Please leave the book." John requested nicely.
"Fine, but if you do anything suspicious I'll find something else to knock you out with." Rainbow retorted with a bit less venom than before.
"He'll be fine Rainbow." Twilight sighed. "So long as Dimentio doesn't make another appearance."
"Did someone say 'Dimentio make another appearance?!" Dimentio proclaimed as he tried to once again force himself to the surface.
"No! John thought back forcefully pushing Dimentio back.
"Hey, you're having all of the fun! I think I have a new idea... Dimentio said and seemed to disappear from John's mind momentarily.
"Hey, what did you do!?" John asked as he felt slightly drained.
"Nothing." Dimentio replied innocently...as he appeared right in front of John.
"Oh fuck my life!" John said as he realized the gravity of the situation.
