Beep…beep…beep. Jack slowly gain consensus and open his eyes, nearly blinded by the bright light. His body was sore, but he felt worse before, and he got himself to sit up. He noticed that his shirt was missing, but he still had his pants (Thank goodness). He looked around the room his was in: it had blue was and a green ceiling, there was balloons with saying “Get Well” doted across it, and next to him was a curtain. He noticed a clock and it said that the time was 10:37. I was out the whole night, he thought, normally I’m out for a few minutes. He turn his leg to the side of the bed about to get up, when the door open and a white earth pony came through. “Oh,” she said noticing that Jack was up, “you’re awake, good. Um...you should stay in bed and let your injuries heal." Jack was about to protest when Wistala voice spoke out.
"It's okay Nurse Redheart, Jack is stubborn about lying in bed for a whole day doing nothing. I make sure he doesn't do anything too abused."
"Fine, I go check on the other patient then," Redheart said.
"Who," Jack asked. Redheart went to the white curtain and pulled it back showing a tan with crimson tail and mane mare earth pony that was still asleep.
"She's Obsidian sister," Wistala said. Jack looked at the mare whose bother tried to save.
"Wistala...what happen after I pass out?"
"Well....
*****************************************
Wistala saw Jack plummet to the ground, she quickly disperse her titan form and went to ad Jack. She flew fast as she could, but not fast enough to beat Cysero who was already give Jack's last heal potion to...well...Jack. Wistala heard Jack cough once finish with the potion and mumble out, "Ouch," before passing out again.
"He should be fine," Cysero said, "just need a good night sleep." He turned his head to the side looking at something and Wistala turn to see what Cysero was looking at. Not far by was Advin....or Advin's body. It was crack, broken in several different pieces, burnt and most importantly lifeless.
"No Cysero," she stated, "I'm not letting you have any one of those pieces, not even a pebble." We don't want to face Advin a second time with your add.
"Awwwwwwwwwwwwwww." A sound of galloping hooves came across the field and six ponies plus one alicorn came into view.
"Is he okay," Fluttershy ask.
"Yes, he just need a place to stay and rest," Wistala answered.
"The Ponyville Hospitable should do," Twilight said.
"But what about those horrid remain," Rarity ask point a hoof at Advin corpse.
"Hang them up a wall, bury them, send them to the sun," Wistala suggested. "Just don't give Cysero any of them. Other than that, you can do what you wish with them."
"I shall handle that," Celestia said. "Wistala I would like to ask of you to led my guards to Obsidian home and make sure that all threat has been dealt with."
"Of course," Wistala said as she bowed her head.
"I come too," Cysero said.
"Why," Wistala asked.
"Because Pinkie's noise said so," he replied.
"He right," Pinkie stated, "my noise is itchy meaning it part of the plot of this story." Everyone look at Pinkie Pie and Cysero, both of them with big grins on their faces.
"Fine...just don't touch anything that looked like it might explode. Let head to the chariot," Wistala said.
"I call shotgun," Cysero said as he walk for the chariot. Wistala had no idea what he meant.
*********************************
"Well this is the entrance to Obsidian home," Wistala said to Cysero, Tempest and Shadowstrike.
"On ward then," Cysero said as he pointed a finger forward making a small ball of light and walk inside. Wistala shortly went in followed by the two guards. In a few minutes they reach the main chamber of the cave, which Cysero toss the ball of light in the air to illuminate the whole room. The room was in a miss, which means Obsidian was in a hurry after Jack left. "Look over there," Cysero said as he pointed to the far side of the room at a crystal formation, and inside of that was a pony.
"That must be Obsidian sister," Wistala said.
Tempest asked, "I she dead?"
"No you silly pony," Cysero said, "she just in stasis. However since Advin is now longer here to power it she might dead in a week or later. Good thing I came." Cysero took out his hammer, lifted it high in the air... and gave a small tap on the crystal. A small crack from and it grew and spread throughout the whole formation. Then Cysero put one his hand near and flick it making it shatter releasing the pony inside. The pony stubble a bit, tilted her head up and looked around.
"Who are you...," was all she got to say before passing out into Cysero arms.
********************************
"....after we looked around for a bit we brought her here. She is fine from what the doctor can tell," Wistala said.
"Did you find anything else in Obsidian's home," Jack asked.
"A few of his notes, but nothing else short of a living place. Advin is done for Jack."
"I hope you're right," Jack said as he got a shirt on, "how about Obsidian's body?"
"Well...we tried to get it once we got back, but his body wasn't there."
"A creature got past my shield and dragged him away?"
"No, your shield was still there, but his body wasn't, only his cloak. Even Cysero couldn't explain why it was missing." Well that's strange, Jack thought.
"Right...any contact with Lim?"
Wistala shook her head, "Nope; however, Cysero believe that Lim will have the portal up this afternoon."
"Well I guess I should check out before the portal open in someone room." Jack grabbed his back pack and went to the doorway. Before leaving he stopped and looked back at Nurse Redheart, "Once she comes around, tell her that her brother...tried his best to save her." Jack continued out through the door and down the hall. He made his way to the check out desk to pay for his stay...but the pony said all of his dues were already pay for.
Jack was greeted by everyone he knew and some who he didn't, all stomping their hooves cheering once they saw him. Jack slightly blush and continue his way to his friends. This was new to Jack, sure he get praise for saving towns before, but nothing as grand as this. He saw Rainbow Dash flew up to him saying, "It's nice to see that you're still one piece."
Jack point a finger at her, "You," he said in a hard tone with made Dash’s ears flatten, "are too adventure seeking hard head you know. But you quick to think and have a good heart," he said in a softer tone, "some day...you might make a decent hero." Dash smile at this and flew next to him as he walk to the others. Celestia open her wings and held them high the sky, soon the whole area was quite.
"Jackson Truman and Wistala, I would like to personal thank you for saving Equestria from a new threat. Equestria will never forget you." Great, Jack thought, now I'm the history of two worlds.
"It's the least I could do, your highness. In fact this was the quickest I ever took down a villain." Normally there a big war where I have to face waves after waves of minions. Jack was about to say something else when a bang emitted a portal open a few feet behind Jack. The portal simmered for a bit and Lim merge on the other side.
"Hah, I knew that it would work again," Lim said.
"Hey Captain Science, your early," Cysero said.
"What do you mean I'm early? I never gave a specific time when I could reopen a portal!"
Jack turn to Celestia, "Well it's been fun, but I think it is time for Cysero, Wistala and I to head back to Lore. They still need me."
"I understand," she said. They walk to the edge of the portal making their final goodbyes. Cysero and Pinkie Pie hugging each other, Spike talking to Wistala and Twilight spoke to Jack.
"You know Jack," she said, "you never answer all of my questions."
"Like I said last time, I'm not much of a scholar," he answered. "Maybe you should visits some day and find out yourself," he joking said.
"Maybe," she replied. Cysero was already on the other side of the portal and Wistala was making her way. Jack took one final look at his new friends.
"Ya'll come back and visit you hear," Applejack.
"Yeah, and maybe you should teach me some fighting moves," Dash.
"Ohoho, I still need to throw Cysero a welcoming party," Pinkie said.
"And I would love to design you something Jack," Rarity said, "I have some fabulous ideas."
"I would love to talk to Wistala," Fluttershy softly said.
"Yeah," Jack said, "that sound good." The portal closed, and the room became quite. "Lim...I want you to destroy that stone...it is the last piece of a dangerous person and we can't have that." Jack's voice was a bit shaken as if he didn't want to say what he was saying. "I'm heading to take care of some things." Jack left Lim's shop and went home with Wistala right behind him.
"You sure want to destroy the stone," she asked Jack.
"You saw what Advin could do...if that stone is part of Advin then we need to get rid of it." This wasn't an easy choice, he thought.
"JACK," a voice yell out. Jack turned his head to see Eric running to him. "There you are, you've be gone for days. What were you doing?"
"Saving the day as usual Eric...just saving the day."
