//------------------------------// // Chapter 21: 2nd Match, Queen Bella! // Story: MLP: Nights Journey Of Dreams // by JusSonic //------------------------------// Chapter 21: 2nd Match, Queen Bella! The scene begins to open up in showing Rainbow Dash, Rarity & Fluttershy gently falling across the starry night sky. They all landed right in the middle of Dream Gate just a few feet away from the fountain. Right about now, Rainbow’s Team felt pretty much good about themselves at this moment, especially after they just done a great job in passing through the Octopaw chase in which they had truly learn how to magically fly. Who knows if those skills will come in handy someday? “Man; that was some workout to improve our flying. Not that I needed it.” Rainbow Dash spoke off to say this while doing a little bragging rights. “Oh really Rainbow? Could you fly even with wings that CAN’T fly at all?” Rarity rolled her eyes to comment the claim with a sly attitude. “Hey! This is flying with magic, it’s different, okay?” Rainbow Dash protest to say that flying with magic is different compared to using wings. “Well, um….she does make a point.” Fluttershy spoke to say this in trying to make this conversation be calm. “Ah, good, you are all here.” Suddenly, Owl arrives to flap down from below in speaking to the gang upon his arrival. “Hello Owl, we just return from passing our workout to fly with NiGHTS.” Rarity proudly address the case in what they have down to which they have learn to fly well. “Now who’s bragging?” Rainbow Dash rolled her eyes to make a sly smile in making a comeback of putting Rarity in the same bout. “I am not, I am merely stating a noble fact.” Rarity protest off to say her own defense of what she was saying here. “So, is everything okay Owl?” Fluttershy asked if Owl came to check up on them. “Just splendid, in fact, there’s something going on in Memory Forest as I speak.” Owl responded off to say this in speaking in terms of the next subject. “What is it, an enemy attack or something?” Rainbow Dash asked off in thinking that was the subject. “Or any clues to finding the Ideya?” Rarity asked in thinking the subject was the whereabouts of the Ideya they seek. “Well now, it does have something to do with the world Fluttershy made. And if you all like to see it, then NiGHTS & I shall be there.” Owl exclaimed to say this in stating the fact, but more likely, it was for the rest to come & see for themselves. Then without warning, Owl vanished into thin air while leaving behind some feathers that fell to the ground now. Course many of the ponies were confused about what the old bird said that got their attention. “Something to do with me?” Fluttershy spoke off to ponder what Owl could have meant by that. “Well Fluttershy, let’s go see it then.” Rarity spoke to say this with a smile in knowing what they can do. “Right, whatever it is must be pretty important.” Rainbow Dash nods off to agree, if there is something, they gotta see it. “Oh, well…alright…Let’s go see.” Fluttershy meekly spoke at first before trying to get more up to having self-confidence. Once the gang set them minds to something, it was now finally time to begin their next task. So they were all walking up to approach the Door that would take them back to Memory Forest. And from the opening of white light, the gang was slowly making their way inside to enter it. Afterwards, the doors began to close on themselves after the ponies went through to return to the dream world of their choosing. And as the scene fades out, we know just where we’ll be to see some action going on…. ----------------------------------------------- The scene soon enters to where it’s within Memory Forest, but there is something else to it. There was a large dome-like area with many seats facing it, which in fact was more like a concert stage hall made of stone & covered with leaves. We soon spot Rainbow’s Team having entered the area to see what was just around & even beyond to the front of them for them to see. There were many Nightopians on the concert stage, looking like they were happily getting ready to perform. This excited Fluttershy & Rarity while Rainbow Dash followed them & NiGHTS was near to hover close by. “Wow! This concert hall is just like the one in our home town!” Fluttershy exclaimed to say this in being surprise to see this familiar sight. “Why I believe you’re right darling, it IS just like the one back home!” Rarity exclaimed to say this in seeing what was very familiar to them. “Must have been a version of being on stage while being apart of the Pony-Tones, hugh?” Rainbow Dash shrug off to say in guessing how Fluttershy envision this place to come to being. “You know NiGHTS, I once jam to play a guitar, actually. And I was pretty good at it, too.” Rainbow Dash turn to NiGHTS to hear her story out in bragging out about this while she cross her arms to listen in. “Oh really, that was when you were asked to play with Johnny Brock that one time & he threw you a spare.” Rarity rolled her eyes to remind her friend of what happened during that one rock concert they had. “It was still awesome!” Rainbow Dash boldly spoke in defending her moment of being seen as an awesome rocker. “Well, I think we’re all pretty good at playing instruments. I kinda like playing the tambourine.” Fluttershy shyly spoke in admitting that she even plays an instrument of her own. “Really Fluttershy?” Rarity asked off in having heard this for the first time. “Uh-huh, I always wanted to perform on this stage, even just once after helping Big Mac with his voice problem…” Fluttershy spoke up in filling all hopeful to someday be on the stage to perform for all to see & not be shy about it too. “Ho ho hoo! Well then, here’s your chance!” Owl soon flapped his wings to appear on the gang’s left side to speak this out for Fluttershy to hear. “What?” Fluttershy yelped in what she was just told here, what did Owl mean? “Go right ahead! The concert is about to begin.” Owl offered that Fluttershy can go down there & join the show as it’s about to begin. “Hear that Fluttershy?” Rainbow Dash smiled off in liking where this was going. “Yes, you can be in the show after all.” Rarity smiled with pride in what this means for their friend. “A-Are you sure? I mean, if it’s really okay?” Fluttershy asked off in being so flabbergasted, she couldn’t tell or know what to do with such a chance opportunity. “Naturally I’m sure!” Owl humbly nodded his head in saying that Fluttershy can indeed join in, there was no harm in doing so. “Of course, this is no ordinary concert hall. You don’t play with instruments here.” Owl explained forth something of knowing that this was not an ordinary concert where the rules aren’t the same for those from the wake world. “The real concert is conducted by soaring through the sky!” Owl wisely explained the case in how the concert is performed, by doing it all in the sky. “A concert in the sky?” Rarity responded off astounded in hearing about this; that sounded more wondrous than what they ever done in Equestria. “That sounds amazing! Imagine, Pegasus Ponies performing a concert while they fly, it be awesome to pull along with stunts!” Rainbow Dash exclaimed in pretty much loving the idea, it sounded like a real blast to try out. “Oh my, I never done something like that, but….it does make me feel like I wanna try out.” Fluttershy spoke off in having like the idea to do a concert in the sky. “How about it girls? NiGHTS, we should try it out!” Fluttershy turn to her friends and to NiGHTS in thinking they should join in this thing together. “Huh? No thanks.” NiGHTS however didn’t seem too keen on doing something like that after Fluttershy offered her the invite. “I think I’ll pass.” Then NiGHTS stretch herself backwards to lie down with her hands behind her head & feet cross while floating as she’ll just be a spectator instead. “Oh, I really wish I’d brought my tambourine…” Fluttershy spoke to feel like she should have brought an instrument to help her out here. “You know, I think I remember when we had a sleep over, you would be performing a recital with me & the other Pony-Tones.” Rarity spoke off in remembering what Fluttershy was going to do when they were in Equestria before coming to the Night Dimension. “Yeah, I heard from Rarity, you been practicing really hard to get ready for it Fluttershy!” Rainbow Dash stated in recalling what Rarity said that Fluttershy’s been working hard for the big day. “Well…maybe not as hard as I should…” Fluttershy was stating in which her mood went from feeling excitement to feeling kinda blue. “After all…I’m still too shy to perform in a big crowd of strangers & I might…choke.” As Fluttershy said this, NiGHTS soon stood up to float near the sad pony. This earn the attention of the other ponies, Owl & even NiGHTS to stare at the sad little shy Pegasus. It sounds like Fluttershy has been practicing for an event be it music or singing, but she felt like she just didn’t have enough to get her up & going. “Shall we?” NiGHTS extended her right hand to Fluttershy as if waiting for her to take it. She gave a smile and nod in the direction of the concert hall, stating that they should join. “Hm? But…” Fluttershy was surprised to look at NiGHTS, didn’t she said she wasn’t interested? “You said it was your dream to play or perform on this stage, right?” NiGHTS asked off in reminding Fluttershy about what she dream of doing as the jester rest her hands on her hips. “S-Sure…” Fluttershy lightly nodded in agreeing to that term of what she wanted. “Then let’s go & make that dream come true!” NiGHTS declared in thinking that they should help make Fluttershy’s dream moment come true for her. NiGHTS again held out to lean herself for Fluttershy to take her hand, so that they can perform on stage; by Dualizing of course. “NiGHTS…thank you!” Fluttershy kindly said thanks to the jester for being so thoughtful “You’re welcome, and of course, Rarity & Rainbow Dash, care to join us as well?” NiGHTS smiled off to say this while also offering the invite to their other friends. “Oh, would we EVER!” Rarity spoke off in feeling extremely honored to take part in doing such an event of a concert performance. “Wouldn’t miss this if I tried!” Rainbow Dash stated off that she’ll gladly take part in this, even to help Fluttershy out. Soon Fluttershy was raising her right hoof up to touch NiGHTS’ right hand. And once they both touch here, the same bright blue light enveloped them. Afterwards, Fluttershy, Rarity & Rainbow Dash were gone & the pony spirits are seen with NiGHTS standing, as they Dualize perfectly. Then they took off to fly upwards with Owl following after them. They soon reach a familiar musical note shape line & pattern structure above the concert stage below. At the same time, the background was playing ‘Dreams Dreams: Sky Concert’ for the theme of where we are and what shall be happening… “Listen careful now. Touch the notes in the musical score in time with the music!” Owl explained the basic workings of what to do in doing this performance. “You hear that everyone?” NiGHTS stated to her friends in knowing what they must do next here. “Loud & clear!” Rainbow Dash’s spirit issued off in knowing what to do now. “Crystal!” Rarity’s spirit replied off in also having heard the directions. “Oh yes, indeed.” Fluttershy’s spirit nodded in being ready to begin now. Soon the gang flies across the first music note, & as they go, they go through Rings to while a lovely melody is heard. It’s like by touching the music note, they started something. “Hoo hoo! If you fly at my speed & keep pace, you’ll be able to perform. Now, tut-tut! Come along!” Owl praise off to say in explaining what those in NiGHTS must do, but they are to pick up the pace if they wanna keep this up. “So nothing too fast, but not too slow.” Rainbow Dash’s spirit quoted in knowing what they gotta do here. “Sounds perfect to me, darling.” Rarity’s spirit stated off nicely in having been told of this. “Get ready, we’re about to start.” NiGHTS noted off to her pony spirit pals of what’s ahead. “I’m okay, I’m ready to do this.” Fluttershy’s spirit responded in being ready to begin. Now NiGHTS came in contact with music notes from the fourth & fifth line to make a lovely tone ring sound. And they repeated that step with the next two music notes appearing along with one more at the fifth line row, & it was sounding great. “Are you following along? When the introductory piece is finished, the proper performance will begin.” Owl explained to the gang in what they are to expect very soon here. “Proper performance?” Rainbow Dash’s spirit asked off in having heard & knowing what that may mean. “In short, this was a rehearsal.” NiGHTS pointed out in what they did was a practice run before beginning seriously. “So the real concert performance begins?” Fluttershy’s spirit asked off in knowing what this could mean now. “Then let’s do our best, Fluttershy!” Rarity’s spirit spoke forth in giving her friend some encouragement. The gang continue to fly on their course, & soon see Nightopians floating off on balloons before they came across more song notes. They go through notes 5 to 3 in an upward matter, then 2 to 5 downward before just 4 & 5 down. It was sounding great, even the Nightopians seem to like to sing-along. They soon went through 5 through 3 notes & repeat that step before going to a 2 to 5 notes measure from high note to low note. It was sounding very pleasant to hear such music, even on the 4th note to 3rd note. “Lovely, simply lovely.” Rarity’s spirit spoke off to say in liking what they are hearing. “Let’s keep at this, shall we?” NiGHTS stated to her friends in knowing they best keep on following along. Everyone continues to fly with NiGHTS, hitting notes 5 through 3 twice while the Nightopians sang. Then came across notes 3 through 6 downwards to do, then 5 to 6, 6 & then gone up to 3 to 1, it was angelic the way it sounded. They go through notes 4 through 6 downwards, then 5 to 5 to 4 again, & then 5. It was all sounding great when it came together, everyone was doing pretty good. “Have to admit, this is sounding pretty good.” Rainbow Dash’s spirit responded in liking what they are doing. “Oh yes, lets follow along as best we can.” Fluttershy’s spirit stated off in wanting to do her best here. The concert performance wasn’t over yet, they hit different notes now from the 4th note to going down 1 to 4 & then 5 to 6 notes. Then 6 to 3, & then up to 1, & 2 to 3 and 2 & so forth to which it made nice rings and the Nightopians sang. There was more notes from going high to low, that NiGHTS managed to get the right notes in perfect harmony. Then moving up to the middle, the jester got the next row too. “Looks like we’re following the beat right.” NiGHTS stated off in what they are doing now. “Yes, one wrong note could ruin the whole thing.” Rarity’s spirit humbly stated in knowing what to do. “So let’s not skip out, right?” Rainbow Dash’s spirit stated in knowing what they best do here. “I wanna keep on performing…like this.” Fluttershy’s spirit spoke in really liking what they are doing. More music notes were coming from 3rd to 4th note, & then go up 6 through 3, but NiGHTS was able to get to them, then the fourth & fifth note. The Nightopians were really singing up a lullaby from all the perfect hit notes the gang with NiGHTS was doing. They were even going from 6 to 3 notes, then 6, 5, 6 note up, down, upbeat & was going in another smooth rhythm beat that made everything just sound so…wonderful that it couldn’t be describe by words. “We’re doing a great job here.” Fluttershy’s spirit stated in how everyone is coming along. “Thanks for that, Fluttershy.” Rainbow Dash’s spirit commented on the nice statement. “Then we best continue the show.” NiGHTS spoke forth in what they best keep on doing. “Yes, on with the show!” Rarity’s spirit proudly spoke in what they can continue to do here. And like before, the gang did a 6 through 4 note, then a 6, 5, 6 note rhythm following, then a 6th through 4th note crossing. NiGHTS dove down the 2nd note to the 6th, then 5th before 6th again that made it all sound so nice. And through the 5th to 4th notes, 6, 5, 6 notes again, it was becoming a catchy beat as NiGHTS & the gang follow along the right performance in the middle to have it all be in sync, that the Nightopians sang to it. “The Nightopians sound like they are enjoying our performance.” Rarity’s spirit spoke off in seeing what was going around. “They love to laugh & play & sing so this must make them happy.” NiGHTS pointed out how much their work made the Nightopian feel happy. “Oh, I think we’re nearing the finale.” Rarity’s spirit commented in sensing what was coming. “Then let’s do our very best.” Fluttershy’s spirit exclaimed with a happy expression on her face. The same beginning performance at the bottom was starting again from before that the gang follow through. They continue to do as they have seen, hit the note just right & they were able to make beautiful music once more. It was all very lovely and gotten done right to the middle a harmonic moment. And at that moment, the Nightopians were heard cheering & applying at that moment when it seems that they all finished. NiGHTS & the pony spirits had just finished in what they did & they played beautifully so. And so in a strange sense, NiGHTS did her spin twirl of a dance performance before posing off with a smile to the applying audience, as even the pony spirits were also performing in sync too. The ponies thought of it as like their bow in having completed a wonderful musical performance. “Well done, you performed…admirably.” Owl flew near the others on commenting a performance well done. “Oh, I don’t know what to say.” Fluttershy’s spirit squealed with delight in having done something she was proud to do. “Heh, how’s about thanks?” Rainbow Dash’s let off a chuckle in thinking her friend forgot to return the compliment. “Oh, well…I couldn’t have done it…without my friends & NiGHTS too.” Fluttershy’s spirit sheepishly yelps to state this off in a kind way of speaking. “Oh really darling, while we did help a little, you were really…” Rarity’s spirit was about to say the rest was all Fluttershy’s doing until…she was cut off. “The true art of music can be heard in many different ways, but the most soothing sound…is when one becomes more.” Owl wisely explained the case that sometimes, a solo can be better sound in a duo, or more depending. “And so you all have shown that, you must be very pleased with yourselves, Visitors.” Owl praise those for having done so well in the performance to make such lovely music. “Heh, got to say, I actually had fun doing that. Maybe next time, I’ll play my flute for you all to hear.” NiGHTS stated off to mention this from having such a good time. “You play the flute, darling?” Rarity’s spirit asked off in surprise, they never knew that. “Oh, I love to hear it.” Fluttershy’s spirit replied of in liking to hear NiGHTS play the flute one day for them. “Yeah, bet you be awesome at it.” Rainbow Dash’s spirit issued off in thinking if they rock this good, then NiGHTS must be good too. “Well…maybe later, right now, we should get back to Dream Gate.” NiGHTS stated off in what they best be doing, getting back now after this little challenge to complete. “See you around Owl, sorry if we leave before an encore.” She turn to the old owl in giving some regards to leaving. “Not at all, you done marvelously here.” Owl spoke forth in stating this that it was alright for NiGHTS to head off now. “Aright then girls, time to fly!” NiGHTS declared this in getting ready for them to get back to Dream Gate; as the pony spirits happily nodded their heads in silence. Soon NiGHTS was flying off with her pony spirit friends to return to the Door to return them back to Dream Gate. Owl watches the gang leave while some Nightopians also fly up to wave & say in their own language of farewell. As the scene begins to fade out, we know where we’ll find everyone at & know that they’ll be ready for another task to perform after having done so well intros challenge. And with that, the background theme begin to end here as well… --------------------- At this moment, the scene shows Rainbow Dash, Rarity & Fluttershy slowly descending a starry night sky. And it wasn’t long until they reach their next spot, Dream Gate as they landed right within the fountain area center. They were in a pretty good mode from having done a concert performance like that last challenge they competed in. Even Fluttershy really seem to enjoy it much, Rainbow & Rarity could tell by the smile on her face. “Whelp; that was some performance.” Rainbow Dash smiled off to say this in feeling pretty good in what they accomplish just now. “Indeed, and Fluttershy, I do believe you may have conquer your stage fright fear.” Rarity spoke forth in mentioning this little feat. “Well, it was just a stage with only my friends & kind little Nightopians.” Fluttershy blush lightly to say this in what they got out of it that she did fine. “Indeed, it was a fine concert to witness.” Owl was suddenly seen entering the stage as he flew down from above to join the ponies. “So, what did you think of our performance, was it elegant?” Rarity spoke off to ask the wise owl of his thoughts on their work. “Hoo hoo, very much indeed. You all seem to have a talent for such a thing.” Owl commented in how this group did wonderful in the concert hall. “Believe me, where we come from, singing could almost be a daily thing.” Rainbow Dash rolled her eyes to state this from where they came from, there are times that they sing. “Well now, I believe the Ideya is almost upon us. But we must be wary, for the Nightmaren responsible for disrupting Memory Forest maybe at large still.” Owl spoke forth in using this matter while giving fair warning of what is still out there to cause trouble for them. “Queen Bella?” Fluttershy spoke off in recalling that Nightmaren that gave them problems before. “It sounds like we may face her yet again. Which is to be expected!” Rarity exclaimed in knowing what this was sounding to be. “No sweat, we’ll handle her, Owl.” Rainbow Dash proudly exclaimed that they shall handle the evil spider queen no problem. “I hope that you can, & with NiGHTS to help you along the way. And if you obtain the next Ideya, the final one maybe revealed.” Owl spoke off to say these last few things of major importance for the group. And then without warning, Owl vanished from sight while only his feathers were seen falling around. Of course when he left, he left a new puzzling question for Rainbow’s Team to compensate of what he meant. “What did he mean…the final Ideya may be revealed?” Fluttershy asked in pondering in what Owl was saying to them about the last Ideya. “Perhaps if we have this one, we’ll have all four Ideya.” Rarity stated to say in knowing how many Ideya they have on hand & this next one will be the fourth. “Hugh, must be one of those, collect the others & the last one will come to us…kinda plan out stuff.” Rainbow Dash thought out loud in trying to figure out how the plan will go for them if they get all four Ideya & the last one will be easier to come across. “If Twilight were here, she probably say something like that.” Rarity slowly nods in feeling that maybe the case of how they’ll get the fifth Ideya. “Well, hopefully we’ll see her, Applejack & Pinkie Pie once we’re all done.” Fluttershy kindly thought out in hoping they’ll see their friends again, once they have all their Ideya. “Well for now, let’s just focus on getting the bad guy & then get the fourth Ideya.” Rainbow Dash smiled off to simply state this in what they best be doing for now. “A bit bold, but agreeable to the point.” Rarity humbly stated in knowing what it is they got to do. “Uh-huh, let’s go & do this.” Fluttershy nodded her head in agreement, it’s time to get going now. With the next objective know, it was now time for the ponies to walk up to the Door & plan a return to Memory Forest. Soon as they open the doors, the bright white light soon escaped from it to envelope them. And as the ponies went in, the doors started to close behind them. And now they shall be off to prepare to complete their task of finding & recovering the next Ideya. And with that, everything goes dark at this moment. ---------------------- The scene begins to open up where we see NiGHTS was back at the concert stage hall within Memory Forest. NiGHTS had already Dualize with Rainbow Dash, Rarity & Fluttershy upon their arrival before they came to this area. But of course, she look to be searching for something & was being serious about it too. Like the jester was sensing an enemy’s presence, they just kept themselves hidden. “You…!” NiGHTS spoke off with an upset tone to stare off in what direction she was looking at; someone? “Come out of there! Stop messing with Fluttershy’s memories!” NiGHTS lecture for whoever was hiding above in the trees above the musical note line path to come out this instant. There was no sound or response while NiGHTS rest her hands on her waist, narrowing her eyebrows to find the culprit messing around in this world. “We’re not going to be scared off by any of your stupid nightmares!” NiGHTS declared forth this issue of matter of not being scared off by whatever the enemy has plan. At that sudden moment, a buzzing noise was heard from above NiGHTS as a familiar giant spider queen Nightmaren was crawling on a web she made to approach NiGHTS from behind. At that sudden moment, NiGHTS turn around to almost gasp in seeing their enemy had decided to try to attack her from behind. And then without warning, a void rip around them, taking everyone to…a nightmare world for the battle to take place. ------------------------------- We soon return to a familiar distorted town again with the same platform set up & we see the old Nightmaren foe that has return for a rematch: Queen Bella. At the same time, the background was playing ‘Queen Bella’s Ball: Hard Version’ to pick up the new intense of the area that’s happening around. Queen Bella made her web to where she lowered herself down the platforms of which instead of two, were more likely FOUR! Queen Bella stop her descending from almost touching the lava below, & then shot herself up to do a cartwheel air spin before landing on the highest platform as this enemy was now ready to begin a new battle against NiGHTS & friends, who as we speak were warp here to see everything at the bottom of the platforms, & can tell the situation. “Okay, so now Queen Bella has more platforms we gotta take out.” Rainbow Dash’s spirit shrug off to say in seeing how the enemy’s got new feats to make it harder to take her down. “Well darlings, while this may be a tricky step, we can handle it, right?” Rarity’s spirit stated to say in trying to remain clam in their situation that they are in no trouble at all. “Remember the drill girls. We need to use the spider’s own ability, Queen Bella’s balls of silk, to shatter the plates under her feet! And by then, we’ll drop her in the lava below.” NiGHTS explained this out to her friends in knowing what they gotta do, take out the platforms with Queen Bella’s own silk made balls. “I remember that and we’ll do our best to help out.” Fluttershy’s spirit responded to nod that they will do what they can to help out. Now NiGHTS began to fly off to go through one of the lower platforms as Queen Bella was making her large silk balls before throwing them off to attack the jester. Rainbow Dash was controlling NiGHTS as they watch out when some of the silk balls phase through the platforms and fell in the lava & it shot a fireball geyser motion that almost cook them. NiGHTS managed to avoid being roasted & went through some green Rings to charge up her Dash Power. As NiGHTS went up, she caught one silk ball, threw it that bounce off the middle center of platforms before it fell into the lava. “Okay, so those silk balls can phase through. Didn’t see that coming.” Rainbow Dash’s spirit rolled her eyes in seeing that they are dealt with a problem here they didn’t face last time. “Told you she fight harder, it wasn’t just with the four platforms.” NiGHTS explained that Queen Bella is not gonna be as easy as they thought to drop her in lava again. “Well we won’t give up either!” Rarity’s spirit declared out in what they are gonna do here & that’s keep on trying. “Right, we have to stop her evil action.” Fluttershy’s spirit nods in agreeing that they have to stop this evil Nightmaren spider. Queen Bella saw this action & move herself while trying to take another shot at attacking her prey. Rarity took her shot to control NiGHTS, grab a silk ball that came to them and shot it to bounce off more inner platforms to help destroy them before it touch the lava. The Nightmaren had to move a bit more while throwing another of her attacks. NiGHTS managed to catch it & toss it to bounce off in the middle of the platforms to slowly chip away to look like a broken record player. “How much further are we?” Rarity’s spirit asked off in how close they are to dropping the Nightmaren spider queen. “Looks like we got rid of some platforms.” Fluttershy’s spirit stated in seeing how many platforms they already took care of. “But remember, those silk balls bounce off them and there’s nothing like rocks below. They touch the pool of lava, then we’ll have to wait for another.” NiGHTS explained that from last time they fought Queen Bella, the lava pool had some rocks below to bounce the balls up; this time however, there are none. “Then let’s keep cracking it up a notch!” Rainbow Dash’s spirit exclaimed to say in wanting to pick up the pace, so they can win this game. Now NiGHTS was flying around at this moment while letting Fluttershy at the piloting commands. NiGHTS was flying around the other platforms between 3rd & 2nd and managed to catch another silk ball before tossing and watching it bounce around. As much of the platform was being destroyed, Queen Bella had to react by making a new silk ball & fire it off to attack the gang. NiGHTS couldn’t grab it in time, and watch out from being too close for Queen Bella’s legs to swat at them. “Oh my, she really is not wanting us to defeat her!” Fluttershy’s spirit yelps in seeing the enemy was not giving them much chance to attack back. “She can be a real Royal PAIN here!” Rainbow Dash’s spirit protest forth in stating what sorta foe they got that’s a pain to deal with. “Well I for one, don’t like royalty to behave this way.” Rarity’s spirit snapped off to say in finding this behavior unacceptable. “Then let’s teach her some manners then.” NiGHTS suggested this off with a little smile on the subject here. The gang was really trying to to do their part in approach the target to collect any silk balls & then throw them right back at the she-spider. So far, it’s almost been kinda one-sided in who was getting the advantage over who would defeat the other. Queen Bella made another large silk ball before launching it off against the heroes. But NiGHTS managed to grab it and aim it to take out some platforms, and so far, it was looking good. Course the lava pool erupted to shot a geyser that almost cook the gang if they didn’t dodge. “Woah there, that was too close for comfort!” NiGHTS yelps off to say in them almost being burned with damage. “Goodness, all this work under this heat must not be good for one’s complexion!” Rarity’s spirit gasped in fearing what this was gonna do to them if they get burn. “Eh, a little heat never hurt no one.” Rainbow Dash’s spirit lightly shrug off the subject in not fearing such a thing. “Um, would that be if…only, they weren’t near lava? Um, that is, if they are okay?” Fluttershy’s spirit meekly asked seeing that the two different points are probably unable to work from together if this was too much heat to withstand. At the very second, Queen Belle was really trying to get at it with making more large silk balls to throw at the gang. But as NiGHTS managed to grab & toss some upwards even without proper aim, it helped take out a few platforms while showing almost 75 percent of it was destroyed. The pony spirits had to locate the next acts to perform in where to launch the next attack to help out, and by then, they can drop the sider-queen Nightmaren in for a hot bath; sorta speak. “She’s standing on those last platforms.” Rarity’s spirit stated in seeing where Queen Bella was at right now. “So then, let’s get ready for the final blow.” Rainbow Dash’s spirit issued to say in knowing what this shall need to be called for. “I hope we can aim this right.” Fluttershy’s spirit spoke in wishing that they make the shot and not miss. “Let’s just take a careful aim & make sure, the next rebound effect works to our advantage.” NiGHTS exclaimed in knowing what they gotta do, it’ll be tricky, but they can make it. Then in one final twist, NiGHTS grabbed the next silk ball that was coming towards her, aim carefully at where Queen Bella was position & how many platforms were in place below. And with a final shot, the ball bounced off in a strange zig-zag pattern, forward and backwards until pretty much there was nothing left to keep Queen Bella standing. The giant she-spider Nightmaren yelp as she soon was dropped from her high point and soon impacted into the pool of lava as she struggled from sinking before she vanished and soon exploded from within, thus signaling the complete defeat of Queen Bella. At that same moment, ‘Peaceful Moment’ started to play out for this theme of the gang’s victory. “HORRAY! WE DID IT!” Fluttershy’s spirit cheered in seeing what they done has really helped stop Queen Bella’s action. The others pretty much were looking at the yellow Pegasus spirit in having seen her show…something more than her shy personality. This also caught Fluttershy’s attention to stop what she was doing to pay attention now. “Oops, sorry.” Fluttershy’s spirit sheepishly apologized for the outburst she showed, that was a bit much. “Nah Fluttershy, that’s the kind attitude to show when you’re happy.” Rainbow Dash’s spirit waved off that what her friend did was an okay thing. “Yes, a bit much, but sometimes…even we lose ourselves from the excitement.” Rarity’s spirit stated to say this in knowing that they all lose control of themselves when excited. “And I can say that now, this ends Queen Bella’s matter of causing trouble in your dream world, Fluttershy.” NiGHTS smiled off to say this with a good expression of what they have achieved here in defeating Queen Bella. “I’m very glad, now my place can be where everyone feels happy to be in.” Fluttershy’s spirit smiled off to say this in wanting her place to not be mess around by any evil means. “It really is a wonderful place darling.” Rarity’s spirit commented with a smiling face in saying this to her friend. “So what now NiGHTS?” Rainbow Dash’s spirit asked off to the jester in what’s gonna from here on in now? “Well now, we can now head back to Dream Gate, but I think you’ll be receiving something soon.” NiGHTS issued off to say this with a little smile escaping from her face now. “We will?” The pony spirits responded puzzled, what did NiGHTS mean by that? “You’ll see, come on, time’s a wasting here!” NiGHTS stated to say this much while deciding to let the next part surprise her friends. And soon NiGHTS began to fly around the pool of lava, going through the green Rings to charge up her Dash Power. With the Nightmaren, Queen Bella defeated, the nightmarish realm began to wobble and started to fad out. And once a void opened up, the gang took it to get them out of here and prepare to leave this place behind. And with that, everything begins to fade out at this time. Even the background theme was soon reaching a closure too when all things went dark. ------------------- Suddenly at this very moment, the scene begins to change to a familiar white abyss that was seemingly a calm & peaceful place to be within. And floating from above was a familiar large sphere with a star inside, only this one was more….green. The large green orb floated down to stop before Rainbow Dash, Rarity & Fluttershy, letting off a pretty light when they went to hold it. It felt like something connected, something nice that one experiences over time, it felt like something…from their hearts, and also…something from a portion of their Elements of Harmony. No mistaking it here, this was definitely….an Ideya! “Darlings! Do you see what I see?” Rarity gasped forth in noticing what they are near presence of. “If you mean something, large, and GREEN? Then yeah Rarity, I do.” Rainbow Dash was pulling her friend’s hoof in making this little comment about the matter at hand. “The Green Ideya, a symbol of growth.” Fluttershy responded off in recalling what the color of this Ideya was meant to be about. “Symbol of Growth?” Rainbow Dash repeated off in hearing what this Ideya is to them. “What do you mean, Fluttershy?” Rarity asked in pondering if Fluttershy felt like she knew what was going on. “This one….it is….My future, nurtured by my memories.” Fluttershy responded in being awestruck in what this meant for her, that her world of memories & her growth are connected for her future. “In fact, it’s something we all nurture…for our futures.” She stated in what this could very well be, the dream to grow forth for their future. “Man; that is really deep.” Rainbow Dash nodded off to look at this thing in surprise, who knew that this thing came from their heart. “I know. And do you sense it…more potions of the Elements of Harmony are here?” Rarity spoke forth to say this while feeling more of their elements are within this other Ideya they’ve obtain. “I feel them too, they’re almost whole.” Fluttershy spoke to say that with the other Ideya they obtain plus this one, the Elements of Harmony are nearly all together again. “Okay, so we got the Ideya colors for: Red for Courage, White for Purity, Blue for Intelligence, & now Green for Growth. What’s left now?” Rainbow Dash spoke off in recalling the Ideya by count and color of their meaning & that leaves one left to find. “I believe Owl said the last one is yellow & it represents…Hope.” Rarity commented off in recalling what the fifth & final Ideya is supposed to be about. “So then, maybe it’s a really special Ideya if it’s about our Hopes.” Fluttershy spoke out to say this in having a good feeling about the last Ideya in question. “Yeah, and what better than to obtain it & be our hope to save the day and get on home!” Rainbow Dash exclaimed with a go-to attitude in liking where this maybe going for the gang now. “Then let’s be ready to go & obtain it then.” Rarity issued forth in knowing that pretty soon, they’ll need to retrieve the last Ideya to complete their journey. “Right!” Fluttershy nodded her head in also agreeing to the idea as well. Soon at this time, the Green Ideya created three large orbs of itself to be in possession of all three ponies. And then they sank in to be absorb into Rainbow Dash, Rarity & Fluttershy, in which they have obtain the fourth Ideya that was missing from their hearts. Now with four collected, only one more remains to feel all portions of their represented Elements of Harmony rejoin together again. As the scene closes in here, this group feels they are now one more step away, and then soon, all the Ideya from their hearts will be gathered to bring victory in the Night Dimension and their chance to return to their home world.
