"What happened?" yelled Twilight. Jade pointed at Rubixen. "Oh nothing. Just that lightning boy over here caused the Elements to blow up." Jade said. "Hey. I didn't do it Poison did." Rubixen testified. "Yeah it was that green dragon." Snow said. "Now we have to deal with Poison and Garble. Thats just great." Twilight said. "Believe it or not. I can fix this." Said Rubixen. Everyone in the room looked at him in disbelief. "Yeah and what are you going to fix this with. Duck tape?" asked Rainbow Dash. "No. You will see in a minute. Snow pass out the pillows while I get things started." Rubixen said. Snow went around the room passing out little white pillows. "Your going to need this." He said.
Rubixen started to channel his element energy. A light yellow aura formed around his arms. Slowly he began to move them. Each arm moved in a swaying motion almost like a dance. Suddenly Rubixen's arms went faster, then faster, then faster, and faster until his arms were just blurs. He thrusted on arm and an arch of lightning shot out hitting a group of shards. The shards began to light up. Rubixen thrusted his other arm to an other group of shards and they also lite up. Six groups of shards clouded around Ribuxen and started to spin. Twilight and her friends started to feel a pull. It wasn't a physical one, but more of a mental one. Soon the shards fell to the ground, their color had been completely drained. The ponies and dragons looked up to see that Rubixen had floated upwards in the air with six colored orbs floating around him. The orbs stopped and floated downwards towards the six ponies. "These are the essences of the Elements of Harmony. Notice how these orbs are very small and can easily fit in your hooves." Rubixen said. It was indeed true. The orbs were very small about the size of a tennis ball. "Now your probably wondering why these orbs are so small. It's because you already have the Element's of Harmony inside all of you. You just need something to channel it with. Pick an orb to claim your element." Rubixen continued.
"How do we now which one is the right one? There all white." asked Applejack. "Thats for you to decide. You.....should.....now......which.......one.....it...is." Rubixen slowly slipped off into sleep. "Sorry about this. Resurrection really takes a lot out of you." Snow said as he took care of his sleeping partner. The six ponies were confused. "How are we supposed to just now which one is our elements?" ask Twilight. "Oh I know. This one is mine!" Pinkie say grabbing the orb in the middle. When she picked it up it instantly popped with confetti. Three balloon shaped stones lay in her hoof. Next, up was Fluttershy. She slowly walked up the the orbs looking for her's. She didn't know what to look for and almost decided to go back, but then she saw something out of the corner of her eye. One of the orbs was a little farther back than the other's almost like it was shy.
She grabbed the orb gently and put it in her arms like a baby. The orb popped and out came a little baby bunny with three butterfly stones on it's stomach. The bunny received a massive 'aww' from the other ponies. Applejack went up next. She looked around the orbs for anything out of the ordinary, she found none. She just grabbed one out of random and observed it. Nothing happened. "Hmm. Ah wonder what would happen if ah did this."Applejack said to herself. She tossed the orb upwards and timed it just right with her powerful hind-legs. She bucked it in mid-air where it shattered and out came an apple shaped stone.
Rarity went next. She had no clue what to look for in these little orbs. She gazed into each of the remaining orbs to see any difference, but sadly found none. Just as she was about to give up her horn glowed in a light blue aura and began to drag her across the floor toward's the farthest one on the right. "Well I guess it's okay to give it a shot." Rarity said. Rarity used her gem finding spell on the orb and the orb started to peel away until three stone gems were left. "What do you say Twi want to pick ours together?" Rainbow Dash asked. "Sure." Twilight replied. Twilight charged her magic and armed for one of the orbs while Rainbow Dash flew up as high as she could go. Twilight shot a magic blast at the moment Rainbow Dash flew back down. Rainbow choice the one on the right while Twilight choice the one on the left. Twilight's magic blast shattered her chosen orb and obtained a star shaped stone.
Rainbow Dash's chosen orb shattered upon the slightest contact and a giant rainbow colored flash consumed the entire room. The only words that could be heard were two simple words. "Wake up.". With a jolt Spike woke up. "Was that just a weird dream?" He asked himself.
*Argh. I don't think so.*
"We need to check to make sure that it wasn't a dream." Zero said as he stumbled out of bed.
Spike was about to reach for the door when it opened from the other side. A unicorn maid had walked in with a tray that held different types of gems and some toast. "Oh. I didn't know you guys were awake. Anyway Princess Celestia ordered me to deliver your breakfast for you and to tell you that you guys have a guest waiting for you at the front of the castle." The maid said as she placed down the breakfast and left. "I say we eat breakfast first then go check out our 'guest'." Spike suggested. "Agreed." Zero said.
After breakfast the duo went to the front of the castle. Waiting for them was Applejack, Twilight, Rainbow Dash, Fluttershy, Rarity, Pinkie Pie, Jade, and Rubixen and Snow Streak. "Where have you guys been? I was just about to come and drag your lazy butts back here." Rainbow said annoyed. "Now that Spike and Zero we can begin the lesson." Rubixen coldly said. "What lesson?" ask Zero. "Save all questions until the end of the lesson." Rubixen said. He cleared his throat before he spoke again. "Last night's event wasn't a dream. It was as real as this castle. Now I sure that your all wondering how in the world did I fix the broken elements. Well I half did it. Like I said before you guys already have the elements inside of you, but you don't have a proper way to channel your harmonic energies. That is where the Elements of Harmony come into play. I've heard before that the elements had been reshaped, but I didn't know how it was possible. Twilight what form were the elements when you found them?" Rubixen said.
"They were in a spherical shape when I found them. After Nightmare Moon destroyed them and my friends came to the help they were reformed into necklaces." Twilight stated. "Good. Now asks yourselves this. How did they transform from broken shards into necklaces?" asked Rubixen. "The magic of friendship." Everyone said. "I guess that could be the correct answer, but why were they transformed into necklaces when they could have just turned back into spheres? It just doesn't add up does it?" Rubixen suggested. At this point everyone was confused. What was Rubixen getting at? "Then a few months back I found a book that didn't look all that important, but I looked inside and what I found was interesting to say the least. It was direction on how to make 'something from something that once was something'. I know it is kinda confusing, but hold on a moment. I studied the book a bit more and I have concluded that that book and the information that it holds are linked to the Dragon Chains and the elements." Rubixen said.
"How is that possible and what was the thing you were studying?" Twilight asked. Her liking for studying kicked in to overdive. "How do you think that those ring forms are able to create massive chains? How can Jade and Snow have bodies? Its simply really. Back when the chains were made they were infused with magic from the alicorns and magical text and ruins were carved into them. One of these text and ruins were the contract for a special type of magic called Zero Infinity." Rubixen explained. "Oh now y'alls just making stuff up." Applejack said. "You don't believe me. Snow if you would." Snow Streak's eye's turned white as a small orb encased around him. It grew a couple of feet and stopped. Soon thousands upon thousands of weird writing was displayed on the orb for all to see. "What is this?" asked Pinkie. "This as the generic makeup for just ONE of the chains. As you can see there is a lot of ruins and texts, but the main one you should look at is right here." Rubixen said as he pointed to a line of magical text. Twilight began to inspect it. "Its really old text, but I can read it. It is most certainly draconic writing." Twilight began.
For something to be given an equal sacrifice must be taken.
For something to be sacrificed someone must be strong.
For someone to be strong Zero to Infinity is born.
"What the hay does that mean?" asked Rainbow Dash. "It's the contract for Zero Infinity. It's activated through your thoughts and motion. This what is found in all Dragon Chains, but what doesn't add together is how you guys where able to change the form of the elements without that contract?" Rubixen said as he went off into deep thought. "That does seem confusing, but lets get to the real problem shall we. The elements are inactive ever since you changed them. How do we activate them again?" Rarity asked. "It quite simple really you just need to do acts that represents your elements, but this time with it will be a little more intense. Sorry I can't tell you more. I have to go," Rubixen said. He started to walk away from the group. "But one more thing before I go. You now those pillows Snow gave you guys?" Rubixen asked. "Yeah." said Spike. "It's time to use them. Give them the old Sleep Shocker Snow Streak." Rubixen said.
Snow Streak's mouth opened and shot rapid minuter lightning bolts. The group of ponies and the duo of dragons where hit and felt suddenly sleepy. Each fell shortly after the other one, but instead of meeting the cold, hard floor. They were met with a soft and puffy surface instead as they drifted off into their own dreams
