Luna:
Luna had hurried to her sister's castle in canterlot. She was confused and nervous. It was the dreams that weighted down her mind. She had felt the clash of two minds. It really didn't help thst one of those minds was her long dead uncle. One whom she loved dearly.
Thomas/Tempest:
"So niece do you still hide cakes in your room cause I would love a slice." He said a large grin on his face. Thomas or Tempest he could quite decide which one he liked more. Watch as Celestia nodded her head yes. One of the guards behind him laughed. "You know this is a nice castle. Though it is also kinda confusing I nearly got lost twice luckily one of your staff sent me in the right direction." He walked into the room and took a seat.
Luna:
"Sister what's going on?" Luna asked landing on her sister's balcony. The fact that it had something to do with her long dead uncle disturbed her greatly. When she didn't get a reply she invited herself inside. Two her surprise she saw two things she never dreamed to see. "Dearest sister, why are there two of these pink creatures in your room?" She said looking from sarah to Thomas. "And how does this one know where thou hidest thy cakes?" Luna had noticed that Thomas had gotten to Celestia's secret cake vault.
"Well my word if it isn't little lulu I haven't seen you for while look at you and your sis growing up while I was away." The male pink creature said turning towards her. "As for the cakes she always hides them behind this painting. Now come here and give me a hug." It said holding out his arms and wings.
"I am curious as to whom thou art first." Luna said flatly the strange creature was entirely too friendly. She notice Celestia giving her the signal not to ask followed by a hoof palm when she did any ways.
"Come now you don't recognize old uncle Tempest you wound me." Thomas said feigning a hurt expression.
"Sister?" Luna said both alarmed and concerned.
"Oh I can prove it remember when Celestia first got her cutiemark and was being a insufferable filly." He said remembering one of his favorite memories.
"Yeah she wouldn't lower the sun for a week." Luna said tone getting soft. She still doubted his authenticity.
"That's right and you were depressed about not being able to see the stars and moon. So I the grand idea to raid little miss sunflanks cake stash." Thomas said laughing heartily. Luna rembered how angry Celestia had been after all, she loved her cakes.
Luna looked Thomas over again. She knew it couldn't be possible she had been at his wake. Yet the thing before her was acting and talking like her uncle. Her uncle who had tucked her in, lifted her spirits when she was sad. Despite herself she began to cry. Memories came back centuries of loving care from the old stallion who had taken them in when thier parents had to leave. He had been the one to teach them both to fly. She wanted him back.
"How sister she... she..." Luna couldn't finish. Her uncle had been the first in the unfortunate events that had created Nightmare Moon inside her heart.
"There there little filly." Thomas said walking over to hug her and pet her mane comfortingly.
"Oh uncle I missed you so much." Luna said crying into his shoulder.
Celestia:
Celestia watched the display not knowing what to say. She knew that Tempest's death had torn Luna apart and paved the way for Her dark transformation. However the human was mistaken he was not their uncle only a vessel for Tempest's memories. This truth more then anything else tore at heart since it meant killing their uncle once more.
"I'm sorry Luna but he's not our uncle." Celestia said as Luna continued to cry. 'Don't do this to me Luna.' Celestia thought as Luna shook her head not wanting to believe. "Its true he has all our uncle's power and memories but that's all he's not Tempest." She said feeling her heart break as Luna broke down in earnest.
"What do you mean I just have his memories I know who I am." Thomas said giving Celestia a confused look. Luma squeezed him tighter to herself. "It's alright Celestias confused too many cakes I think." He said trying to comfort Luna.
"I'm not confused I had to bury you and banish Luna for ten thousand years. I didn't know that my out burst would cause all this all I wanted to do was protect my kingdom." Celestia was nearly crying. Thomas looked at her connfused.
"I may have been drugged but ten thousand years did not pass while I was human." He stated flatly then winced.
Thomas:
The pain that had started in Thomas's skull as a dull ach was beginning to grow. He looked around the room taking in the foreign yet familiar sights around him. As the fragile peace his mind had found began to break once one. He looked down at the sobbing pony in hid arms. Her long ethereal mane floating on its own he knew her. Knew almost everthing about her but how. He was only 21 how did he have so many memories. Thomas tried to think but the pain, it had grown to much for him to bear. It was now as he slumped to his knees that he knew what was wrong. His mind was falling apart.
"What's happening to me?" He asked grabbing his shoulders and wrapping his wings around himself. Every one even the pony he had been holding looked at him with concern. He was beginning to shiver as if he was cold the pain causing him to convulse.
"We don't know." Celestia answered truthfully. "But is has something to do with a very old mistake." She said sadly. "Are you going to be alright?"
"Nope." He growled out as his body locked up and his mind started to go blank.
Sarah:
Sarah watched with as her brother's mind began to go again. She regretted taking him away. While the company had kept him a mindless prisoner they also ensured that his mind was intact. She had known that the detoxification process was a grueling mess of nightmares and physical pain. Thomas's however was compounded by his apparent absorption of another's psych. She watched with concern as her brother collapsed again his mind being torn apart and reconstituted. Inside his head, where things she could only imagine where being rearranged, a dangerous game of Russian roulette was going on. The process had any number of outcomes. But Sarah was ready wether he became a vegetable or a monster she would care for her brother. For her the problem was the other psych that had entered the equation. While it had left her brother warm and welcoming, it had also made him someone else who had been warm toward people other then her. It had angered her more then ever.
"So can we get those other memories out of him?" Sarah asked approaching thomas who had curled up into the fetal position. She wanted her brother back.
"I can attempt to lock them away. I cannot unfortunately remove them as I honestly don't know how he got them." Princess Celestia answered looking down at the suffering thing befor her.
"That might work if its all we can do." Sarah said disappointed. "So how do we do this?" She asked ready to get to work.
"Well I'll block out the past day or so with my magic. It won't be permanent but it should allow his mind to cope, especially if I set it on a delay so that only portions of his new memories can be accessed at a time." Celestia stated as she began to pace back and forth.
"Wait you can't just seal them off." Sarah said angry that he would still eventually remember every thing.
"I don't know how strong the memories are or how deeply the are imbedded in his mind. If I'm not careful they could resurface anytime and fry his brain like they are doing now. If I set them up to release at certain intervals it may spare his mind." Celestia said with sigh.
"If it will help then do what ever you can." Sarah said, it hurt that once again she was helpless to aid him.
Celestia:
Celestia prepared her spell. It was no simple task reversing her students memory spell. She felt no small amount of pride Twilight had grown so much. Celestia broke her revelry now was not the time. She had someone who needed her. Her horn glowed a soft yellow as she summoned her magic into her spell. The real trick was setting the delay. She felt the strain of her magic as she weaved her spell. She touched her horn to Thomas's brow. Thomas finally calmed down his psych no longer straining to keep itself together.
"He should recover soon." Celestia said her breathing was a little labored. "He needs to rest for now it can't be easy having your mind torn apart." She said leaning against Luna. Magic always made her tired. Luna helped her to the floor chair. "Luckily we have plenty of rooms you guys can have the two down the hall." Celestia wanted them close. Incase he needed more care or became well enough to be interviewed. She loked over at Cut. "Can you go get a unicorn to help Thomas to his room. Oh and a nurse to ensure that he's physically well." She asked the little pony.
Cut:
Cut left the princesses room slightly confused she had never heard the story of King Tempest's death. She died. She found it fascinating to learn history from those that lived it. Though she reckoned that there was some mistake she couldn't fathom Celestia killing someone. Still she was being asked for help so why not. Beside she found the visitor kinda cute. She giggled a little at the thought of it. She trotted down the counting the pegasie she saw untill a white unicorn turned down the hall in front of her.
"Hey Princess Celestia needs someone to help do some heavy lifting." She laughed as the guard acknowledged the request. She then went to go find a nurse. Though Cut couldn't help but think of how to style his hair.
Thomas:
Thomas found himself asleep again. He found himself asleep a lot in the last day or so. He found himself in a dreaming of his childhood. He was at play with his sister in their families front yard. Thier play was interrupted when a black car rolled up the suburban driveway. Anger welled up as the corporate representative. It was this bastard that had ruined his life. This was the man who lied telling their parents he was from the school and was impressed with one of thier grades. Thomas was impressed at how clearly he remembered this meeting. Then he realised that it was his last memory before the kidnapping. Hhi mind fast forwarded to that night when he woke up to shattered glass on his floor and a man in dark armor standing at the foot of his bed. His father burst through his door as the man reached for him. Armed with only a baseball bat his father swung to incapacitate the dark figure. The figure shrugged off the impact and turned drawing his bio pistol and pulled the trigger. The shot of compact bio energy tore threw Thomas's father cauterizing the wound to ensure no blood trail. As his father fell Thomas jumped from his bed and slammed the man in his midriff knocking him off balance. The armored man fell to the ground and Thomas ran for his door. Throwing it open he headed down the hall. He found his sister's door shut so he threw it open her room was dark his heart skipped a beat when he heard glass shatter followed by the sound of another bolt of energy being loosed whith a electronic plink. The room was a typical five year old girls room. Stuffed animals every where dolls various knick knacks. He found Sarah in a corner hugging her teddy bear. Her door slammed open the man in dark armor looked down at him as he stepped between the figure and his sister. The figure looked at him for a moment then reached out its hand.
