POV: Tim a day after the manticore attack
“Ugg…what happened” Tim tried to get up on his two feet or should I say hooves “whoa!” Tim fell as he tried to stand and landed on his side. “ouch, why cant I stand” he looks at his former hands “wait what!? Why do I have hooves. Oh right I changed to a Alicorns to save myself from the manticore. Hey frost”
'sup’
“how is my other body”
‘it healed while you took a nap on the ever comfy ground’
“sweet, now I just have to change back into my human form and teleport home” Tim thought hard and his body morphed into his body but he crept one thing, the wings. “now I have to teleport home”
'oh no you don’t. you will just end up somewhere crazy’
“what, I did all that training yesterday, I should be able to teleport there by now, right?”
‘no, wrong you practiced other things to get your magic reserves up. You have no better ability than when you got here’
“what! You should have told me that sooner” Tim demanded “well than how long are we going to be here?”
'I predict with hard training in 2 more days, 1 if your feeling lucky’
“fine than let us begin”
With the issue sorted out they went to training transportation magic so Tim could get home. They started with teleporting on top of rocks and other short distance and easy feats.
‘now if you feel a tug at your body, resist it. If you don’t you end you a new god forsaken place’
“how do you know that word. Aren’t you a pony?”
‘I am, I can just read you memory and may I say your life is boring’
“thanks”
‘anytime’
Tim started to teleport to farther locations and started to fell a tugging at him the farther he went the harder it got. It was more or less annoying and was starting to be to strong.
'DON’T YOU GIVE UP YET’
Tim shot forward and the tugging was no more. He went his usually hard distance and there was no tug. He went 10 miles with no tug. Than 20 with little tug. He had to go a total of 400 miles to get home so he still had some work to do. He went up to 100 before the tugging came back at full force like before but he just managed to escape it in the nick of time and reach the stone home.
‘alright ¼ the way there but you need to do more. Good things your magic reserves upgraded because you still have most of your tank left’
“fine but I need a breather”
‘alright but only 10 minutes’
Tim sat around for one of the only breaks he had but he was still determined to see his friend again. ‘I wonder what dash is doing at the moment. I would really like to talk to her right now so I can have some support with this. Will I ever even see her again. NO! I will not think like that. I will see her again and I will see everyone else again!’
Tim stood up in a determined stance to continue training. He was ready to finally get home. He quick reminded himself to remember this location so he could bring the girls here and have a picnic or something here.
‘welcome back now go about 150’
“no I am going 200! I will return today”
‘how about 175 so this isn’t for nothing’
“alright” Tim was smirking
‘why are you smirkinnnnnngggggggg’ Tim soon teleported them 250 miles from the house and back with a little struggle but not a whole lot.‘What the hell, you could have ended up farther than here with no hopes to return home’
“well we didn’t, so be happy”
‘well like I said 175 because look around, you put us in a cave with some annoying insects’
“wait what do you mean annoying insects”
Out of the blue a few lanterns lit up and he was surrounded by 10 bug like pony’s.
“how did you get here?” one of the bugs asked who had special looking armor on.
“wait a minute I know who you guys are, your changelings”
“good for you diamond dog you did your homework, now why are you here”
“I don’t know I just kind of teleported here”
“alright I have had enough of this guy. SEIZE HIM”
Five of the guard changed at the human in question and tried to tackle him to restrain him for questioning. He swiftly dodged the first 4 but the last ones horn scraped his back.
‘here is a idea, I was studying you fight awhile ago and you fought better as a Alicorn but you still use universe magic better as a human’
“alright” Tim thought hard and changed into a Alicorn shocking the changeling guards
“one of you go and fetch the queen and extra guard”
One saluted and zoomed of to find the queen and the rest started to advance on Tim who was take a battle stance. They charged and swiped at his body but Tim body was moving in perfect harmony with the attacks deflecting them and fighting back. He managed to take out one with his horn but with 8 left he would have to do better than that.
‘oh I have a idea, get some weapons and fight back’two standard cutlasses appeared in Tim magical grasp as the group charged once again. Dodged three flung the others away with magic while stabbing 2 of them with his blades. He was coming after the smallest group to end this and get out of the cave before the other got back with a army to take him down. Tim’s sword cut the one I half while his sword went through two other changelings but on managed to jump on his back a bite his neck and spraying acid on him causing him to howl in pain.
The door flung open to the room and more and more changelings piled in with the leader of the group queen chrysalis. She walked up the Alicorn in pain as he fought the army but with no prevail. He was being transported to the chambers of study to be questioned.
“so how are you enjoining your stay at my hive?”
“what do you mean, I was attacked by your guards and your asking me about my day?!”
“well I might as well get to know you considering I will have tons of time to talk to you”
“interesting, you want to be my friend before you kill me. So nice”
“oh lighten up, I won’t kill you. that’s not my style, I will make you my slave though”
“fuck you”
“hey no reason to get hostile”
They arrived at the room. It was small and black on all sides. There was 2 chairs on each side and a table in the middle. 4 guards were in there for protection.
“here we are, make yourself at home will you”

POV: rainbow dash 2 days after Tim’s disappearance
Rainbow and the girls were at the library sitting in there own sorrow. Rainbow was taking it the hardest by far. Twi was a close second to her but not quite there yet. The rest were sad at the loss of there new friend but they didn’t know him that well or were really close to him like the other two.
“its not fair, he never even got a party for his new found powers!” exclaimed Pinkie.
“yea I know he was so awesome to” said dash.
The group just nodded and continued to talk about Tim like girls at a slumber party. Twilight was saying how he never got to use his magic much. AJ was going on about not knowing him to well but he seemed alright. Flutters and Rainbow were silent though.
‘this blows, I didn’t even get to say how I feel about him. If I did though what would he think of me. He would probably laugh in my face like everyone at flight school did when I always crashed. I still hope he comes back though so I could at least spend some more time with him or get another massage’
They were starting to accept the fact that he was gone and stood up to leave, they still had lives after all.
“well ah better head out, I still got farm work”
“why I am afraid I must depart as well”
With that the rest of the girls started to leave for there own residence. Rainbow left to go and try to get in some training out at the fields by her home. She was in no hurry so for once she walked there.
Her whole way there people stared at her in wonder Because rainbow was a mare who never walked at all. If she was going though town she would hover at the least. If she was walking then something was defiantly up and the town knew that. Derpy decided that she would be the one to ask since she knew the Pegasus well from her bad attempts at weather patrol a few years ago when she needed a job. She soon got to know the mare well since she was the one to evaluate her. Rainbow showed some sympathy for the mare and let her off easy.
“hey dash I everything alright with you, you seem a bit down today?” Derpy asked
“oh, hey Derpy, yea I should be alright its just that I lost a good friend awhile ago”
“really who was It? Did I know him?”
“I think you did. It was umm…Tim“
“What happened?!”
“um w-well, he just found out he has u-universe magic I-inside him” rainbow was starting to have trouble with her words “So he tried to t-teleport a great distance and it put him in Celestia knows where!” piped out with a stray tear running from her cheek.
Ditzy saw this and went to comfort her friend in need. Rainbow never let tears or emotion that made her look weak in anyway but she was so down to care at the moment.
“are you going to be alright dash?”
“yea, I should be fine just going to take awhile”
“alright, just be careful”
Rainbow than started to walk away hoping to get him off her mind but she just couldn’t shake the feeling. ‘man I hope he finds his way back soon or at all’she than took to the air to get home faster. She did not want any more ponies to talk to her other than her friends.
With her lagging speed she still made it there in 10 minutes compared to the 40 minute walk it would have took. ‘maybe some Arial training will help clear my mind for the moment’
Rainbow speed up to the field trying not to look at Tim’s house. She was successful in that but her tricks were sub par. She was trying the best she could. It was all failing. Her body would not let her get past 50 mph which was slow for a Pegasus of her style. Her turns and corkscrews were terribly off and with her speed at a fault she was getting reckless.
She was about to performs one of her favorite stunts so she was trying to prep herself for it. The trick was one she made but never completed. It was called the lighting dash. The trick was that you get a storm cloud to put all of its electricity into her mane while flying at sharp angles to plant the lightning in one place to create a picture. Then she was to outline it in rainbow coloring while it explodes into multiple cascading colors to shower the audience.
It was going fine so far a the charge spot for her it was a calmer storm cloud than they usually were. She dove down to start putting the lighting in place when it happened. The clouds electricity was zipping around a little to much so once there was enough in place it just exploded but it had nothing to control it since the outline was not there yet. It hit rainbow with full force of 3 lightning bolts. Normally a Pegasus could take around 5 bolts if they are spaced out enough thanks to there weather magic but 3 at once was way to much.
Rainbow dash started to fall out of the sky in a limp form and with no one around to help her, she plummeted to the ground at full force landing just outside of the house of Tim. With her wings looking fried and the electricity in her body on the wrack she fell unconscious. The only thing she thought about as it happened was what Tim said about her tricks. She had a smile on her face as her body quit on her.
