//------------------------------// // Dream Vision // Story: Equestria Ninja Girls // by Wildcard25 //------------------------------// Inside Ponyville castle, home to Twilight Sparkle the Princess of Friendship, said pony princess was in bed, but started tossing and turning. Deep within her mind she was having a dream. Twilight could hear herself panting, and saw a figure land before her. He looked like a human version of a turtle with a blue mask covering his eyes, and in both his hands were a pair of katana. "Twilight, are you all right?" he asked. 'Who is that?' Twilight asked herself. "You need to get out of here. It's not safe!" "But I can't leave you." Twilight heard herself say. "I'll be all right! Go now!" Twilight heard some kind of shots from around. She looked up and saw three figures standing above them. The one in the center looked like a man wearing a metal helmet that concealed all but his eyes, and silver armor decked out in blades. On the right side was a skeletal wolf creature and on the left was a tiger wearing a scarf and an eye patch over his left eye. "What a glorious day for vengeance," the man began, before looking behind him, "All right you three. Sing!" Twilight heard a familiar sound of vocalizing, and saw approaching were none other than the trio of sirens known as the Dazzlings. 'Dazzlings? But this can't be. Their amulets were destroyed.' she thought in confusion, as their voices echoed all around. She could see around their necks looked like their amulets contained in metallic collars, 'The amulets are restored?!' She saw the amulets were powering up and they assumed their half siren forms they took on during the Battle of the Bands finals. "And now finish them!" the man in the blades ordered, as the two animal creatures next to him and the Dazzlings swooped down to attack Twilight and the turtle. "Twilight, no!" the turtle cried, as he shielded her. 'NOOOOOOOO!' Twilight screamed mentally before she awoke and gasped in fright. Twilight panted before catching her breath and looked around her room seeing nothing was wrong, "Just a dream. But it felt so real. And who was that turtle guy? And the Dazzlings, they have their powers back? I better check in with Sunset Shimmer and my friends at Canterlot high..." she saw how it was still dark out, "Ok, maybe I'll wait in the morning." she decided to go back to sleep. When the sun rose up and brightened the day, Twilight and her dragon assistant Spike were up and about. The two waited until the rest of their friends arrived in the main room. "Sup, guys?" Rainbow asked. "Top of the morning to y'all." Applejack greeted. "I hope all of you are ready for a super duper happy day today!" Pinkie beamed. "Guys, I had a dream last night, but it felt so real." Twilight began. "What do you mean, darling?" Rarity inquired. "Like it was more than just a dream. It was a vision." "A vision?" Fluttershy asked. "What did you see?" Spike inquired. "I saw some kind of turtle creature." "Turtle?" the ponies asked. "Yeah. He wore a mask over his face, and was carrying two swords. But there were others in it as well." "Who, Twilight?" Applejack asked. "This one being wearing armor with many blades, and two more animal creatures, one looked like a dark gray wolf and another looked like a tiger." "Twilight, you've told me you've had real strange dreams before, but this takes it." Spike said feeling creeped out. Twilight scowled at her assistant's words, "But there were more. I saw the Dazzlings in it as well." "The Dazzlings?" the girls and Spike asked. "Didn't you say those were the sirens you dealt with in the other world?" Rarity wondered. "That's right, and they were still in their human forms in my dream. Meaning this vision I had takes place somewhere in the other world." "But where?" Spike asked. "I don't know. But I do know one thing. The Dazzlings gain their magic again. I need to send a word to Sunset Shimmer and see if anything's going on." Twilight said, as she levitated the journal she used to keep contact with Sunset Shimmer. "If there was something bad going on, don't you think she would've messaged you about it?" Rainbow asked Twilight, as she began writing. "Maybe, or maybe she or any of the girls there don't even know about it." the Princess answered, as she finished her message. "How do you think the Dazzlings got their magic back if you destroyed their gemstones?" Spike wondered. "I don't know, Spike. But somehow they had them restored and looked just as dangerous," Twilight explained, before seeing the journal glowing, "It's from Sunset Shimmer!" the group watched as a new message was forming on a page. 'Dear, Twilight. This dream you've told me sounds unreal. But I assure you there have been no traces of the Dazzlings anywhere. But if this is some kind of vision, then maybe you should come back to Canterlot High so we can discuss this. I know you're busy being Princess and all, but if the Dazzlings do have their magic again or get it back I don't think the six of us alone will be able to handle them without your knowledge.' Twilight pondered on Sunset's suggestion before giving an answer, "I'll be right over," she finished her message and looked to her friends, "Girls, I'm going back to Canterlot High." She took the journal and went to the library where the mirror portal was set up still modified with Twilight's alterations. "Are you sure you should be taking off like this, Twilight?" Applejack asked. "I know it's unexpected, but the Dazzlings are a problem. And my friends in the other world could use my help." "And mine too," Spike spoke up, "After all I did help last time." Twilight smiled, "I know, Spike," she levitated the journal into it's compartment above the mirror and the magic from it opened the portal, "Ok, this is it. Girls, be sure to remove the journal from the mirror when Spike and I go through. I don't want anything from our world or the other world coming to here or there." "But if we remove it how will you get back?" Fluttershy inquired. "I'll have Sunset Shimmer write a message into the journal for you all to keep an eye on," Twilight answered, and her friends nodded in confirmation, "Ready, Spike?" "Ready." Spike confirmed. "Then let's go!" the two went through the portal. The two groaned and opened their eyes to see they were back in the other world again. And like the previous times before, Twilight had taken on the form of a human girl, while Spike took the form of a dog. "We made it." Twilight began. "And in one piece." Spike added, as he looked himself over. Twilight got up on her feet, and looked around the school seeing no one around, until a group of voices called out, "Twilight!" Twilight and Spike turned and saw coming over was their reformed friend Sunset Shimmer and the rest of the Main Five's human counterparts. "Hi, girls." Twilight greeted them, as the six girls embraced her. Spike did a few barks hoping to get some attention. Human Rarity looked down and smiled, "Oh, little Spikey-Wikey." she picked the dragon turned dog up, held him close and began scratching behind his ears. "Oh, yes." Spike panted in relaxation. "We're glad ya came," Applejack began, "Sunset told us on our way here ya had some dream about the Dazzlings." "That's right." "Well, let's go someplace and catch up." Pinkie suggested, and they all agreed. At the human version of Sugarcube Corner, the seven girls were sitting at a booth enjoying a drink, while Fluttershy was feeding Spike a dog biscuit. After Twilight told the girls about her dream, they were very concerned. "That sounded like one messed up dream, Twilight." Rainbow said. "Yeah. And I thought my dreams were bizarre." Pinkie put in. "I don't understand it myself, but whoever it was I saw in my dream he looked like he needed help. And that guy who the Dazzlings were with, I've never seen someone so intimidating since Sombra or Tirek." Twilight said feeling scared. "And you didn't manage to catch a name at all?" Sunset asked. "None." "Isn't there anything in you saw in your dream that can help us in finding out where this vision of yours took place?" Rarity asked. Twilight looked back on her dream and all her surroundings. She then recalled a street sign close to her with a name on it, "I remember a sign on a street reading Bleecker Street." Pinkie gasped, "I know where that is!" "You do?" Twilight asked hopefully. "Sure," Pinkie pulled up her laptop from her bag and ran a search of the street Twilight named, "Here it is. Bleecker Street in New York City." "New York City?" Twilight asked. "Only place with a street called Bleecker." Pinkie explained. "And that's where I was in my dream when the events went down." Twilight said. "Ok, so what now?" Rainbow asked. Twilight answered, "I have to go there." "Huh?" the girls wondered. "If that is where I had my dream, then that place has the answers I'm looking for." "Do you even know how to get there?" Spike asked. "I have no idea." she answered sheepishly. The rest of the girls rolled their eyes and giggled, "Not to worry, Twilight. I can fix that." Rarity said. "You can?" Twilight asked. "Of course. As of now we're all on Summer vacation, so we can travel there together." the fashion girl explained. "And dont'cha even think about telling us not to come." Applejack warned her. "Because we're sure to come anyway." Pinkie put in. Twilight smiled knowing how true that was, "Ok, girls. And thanks. But how are we going to get to New York?" "Just let me put in a few calls," Rarity began, "I happen to know many people in high places." "Alright, road trip!" Rainbow cheered, as the rest of the girls started getting excited. Unbeknownst to them outside the shop, the Dazzlings had been listening in on their conversation, ever since they saw them enter the building. "Did you two hear that?" Adagio asked hopefully. "How could we not? We're right here." Aria answered dryly. "Then you know what's going on? Twilight claims we get our magic back." "Yeah, but we don't even know how. Not even she knows how." Aria reminded her. "Even so, we have a lead as to where to go to get our powers back. New York City." "And just how are we going to get there, Adagio?" Aria inquired. "Why don't we ask the Rainbooms to give us a ride?" Sonata suggested, only for her two friends to roll their eyes. "That plan is the worst, Sonata." answered Aria. "You're the worst!" Sonata replied, as she pushed Aria. Aria pushed Sonata back, and the two started fighting. Adagio grew agitated and smacked the back of their heads, "Focus you two! We will find a way to get to New York, and once we're there we will find a way to restore our powers and make every single being in this world do our bidding." Adagio promised, as she smirked with hope.
