The Princess of Love, Princess Mi Amore Cadenza, or just Cadance, thanked Corban, but Luna and Celestia looked at Corban as if they saw a ghost... and while everyone and everypony was conversing with each other about past events, recent past events, and the new castle, Celestia and Luna conversed with each other in private...
"We BOTH saw the same thing... right, sister?" Celestia asked.
Luna nodded and said "Yes, we did, sister... but, Blumiere... he's still working on trying to make the Chaos Heart and Dimentio separate again!"
"I know... and that man... he said his name was Corban Cromswell... but he has the body of Blumiere! ... Something odd is happening, sister... come, we need to talk to Blumiere and the others." Celestia says, before she teleports herself and Luna to the room the Chaos Heart is in...
They arrive, surprising Blumiere and the others whilst they were studying it...
"Tia! Lulu! Mother of Grambi, warn us, next time!" Blumiere said, looking like he had a mini heart attack...
"Sorry, Blumiere... but we need you, Tipi, Merlon, Nolrem, and the four heroes to see something... Something that may shock all of you." Luna said.
"What is it?" A female voice said, revealing Princess Toadstool Peach, with Tipi and Peach's fiancee, Super Mario (Yes, in this, Mario is Peach's fiancee), along with Luigi, Mario's brother, and King Bowser Koopa, the fire-breathing Koopa King of Darkland and the Koopas...
"Three beings, along with a fourth being that was said to have fallen into a shop, have just helped in the defeat of Tirek and had given Twilight and her friends the opportunity to defeat him... however... the most polite of the three beings, who's name was Corban Cromswell, looked like... well, he looked like you, Blumiere." Celestia said, as Nolrem and Merlon walked near...
Blumiere stopped what he was doing, before he put his tools down and said "Teleport us there, Tia."
She nodded and teleported Bowser, Blumiere, Tipi, Luigi, Mario, Merlon, Nolrem, and Peach back to the new castle of Twilight’s, before she asked "Mario, the two other beings... you told me that you and your brother, along with Bowser, had met a green fellow with a red and gold-lined cape, and another fellow that could turn into a bat, correct?"
Mario nodded and asked "Yes... what-a does that-a have to do with any-a-thing?"
"Because the two other beings are those beings... however, they names are Faux Faw and Adam Atamans." Celestia said, as she led them to the throne room of Twilight’s castle...
When they got there, they saw Corban drinking some tea and conversing with Rarity and Twilight, Faux talking with Fluttershy and Pinkie (who was as energetic as always, and even made Faux giggle, smile, grin, etc., which was surprising, as most ponies Pinkie met would be a bit weirded out, but Faux... Well, he wasn't weirded out), and Adam talking to Discord and Cadance... specifically, Adam was explaining the connection he had with Antasma (Adam won't be telling anyone or anypony about Antasma's REAL name)... Applejack, Rainbow, and Spike, however, weren't in the room... most likely checking out the castle.
Luna made the group invisible, before Celestia cleared her throat, getting their attention...
Celestia smiled and said "Princess Twilight, Cadance, Discord, Adam, Faux, Corban... I have someponies I'd like you six to meet."
They raised eyebrows at this, as Luna motioned for Rarity, Pinkie, and Fluttershy to go and check out the castle with Rainbow, Applejack, and Spike...
They did so, as Pinkie and Fluttershy said to Faux "We'll continue out conversation later, Mr. Faux/Fauxy!", before they went to go find the others...
Adam walked (more like floated) towards Celestia and asked "Who are they, Princess?"
Luna then made the others decloak, making the six gasp, as Luna said "These are the ones we want you to meet."
Blumiere then stepped forward, as did Corban, before the two starred at each other, mimicking each other's movements, before Blumiere said "... If this is an illusion spell, I'll be very impressed and very shocked..."
Corban chuckled and said "It isn't, Bleck."
Blumiere's eyes shrunk slightly for a moment, before he said "How in the name of the Underwhere do you know that name!?"
Corban smiled and said "I'd rather not give the others heart attacks, so I'll explain later, Bleck."
Blumiere growled and said "I'm holding you to that."
Tipi then sighed and said "Blumiere, that's enough... besides... I think you may want to cast your focus onto the purple one..."
Blumiere turned his head towards Adam and he paled at the sight...
"... Antasma." He said, glaring...
"Not exactly." Adam said, surprising them...
"I'm not the real Antasma..." Adam said, as he saw Mario, Luigi, Bowser (which surprised him the most, simply because he didn't think Bowser would be here), and Peach (he was trying very hard to hold in his fanboy squeal) let out a sigh of relief...
However, Adam then added "But, the real Antasma is inside my head... And he helped my protect my brother from Tirek."
They raised their eyebrows at this... Well, after they gasped from Adam saying that the real Antasma was inside his head...
Adam sighed and said "We were in the dense forest/swamp near the town when we saw Tirek. I saw him and Twilight negotiating. I then saw that Tirek was holding Twilight’s friends hostage, along with Discord. I got angry and I asked Corban and another friend of me, Corban, and Faux, known as Iggy Indomite, to create some bolts of magic for me. They were able to do so and I told them that when I hit Tirek with the bolts of magic, they were to escort the ponies and Discord away. I threw the bolts of magic and hit Tirek in the chest, sending him back. Then, Iggy and Corban escorted them to safety."
He then paused for a moment, before continuing and saying "Before I threw the bolts, I told Faux to get to safety... I didn't want him to get injured, you know. I then proceeded to have Tirek chase me around... but, suddenly, Tirek was shot in the eye by a magical crossbow bolt... imagine my surprise when I saw the source of it being Faux, holding a crossbow loaded with those crossbow bolts. He shot Tirek in the hand twice after he shot Tirek in the eye, but, Tirek caught him off guard and I lost it... I was unconscious for half of the fight, but I do know that Antasma took control, made my body grow to the size of Tirek's, became Antasma X, and fought off Tirek while I was unconscious."
Adam smirked and continued "I soon woke up, Antasma told me everything, and he even showed me the fight... thankfully, Twilight and her friends blasted Tirek with a giant magical rainbow (which was VERY WEIRD for Adam and Antasma), making Tirke shrink down and making him release all the magic he stole. Antasma gave me back control and he told me to take care of Faux."
The others were speechless at this, before Adam facepalmed and said "Oh, and Antasma also told me his past... the truth. Not what Dreamburt or the others on Pi'illo Island told you all."
This made Bowser snap out of his speechless state, only for Bowser to say "Ok, hang on a minute! That pillow Prince told Mario, Green Stache, and the Princess about what happened with Antasma! He told us that he was evil, that he turned the Pi'illos to stone, crushed the Dark Stone, and attempted to kill us all! And you're saying that it's not the truth!?"
Adam nodded and said "Yes... And also, Antasma was friends with Dreamburt... before he found out about the Dark Stone, which corrupted him and turned him into the monster you all saw."
"Then tell Antasma that I want to hear it from him!" Bowser said, gaining a nod of agreement from Mario and Luigi...
Adam sighed and said "Alright... although... Princess Luna, you say that you can enter the dreams and minds of others, correct?"
Luna nods and says "Yes... why do you ask?"
"Enter my mind and try to bring the real Antasma out... if they want to hear the truth straight from the source, then I'm willing to let them do so." Adam says, as he crosses his arms...
Luna nods, before she puts her horn to Adam's head, going into his mind...
Inside Adam's mind...
Luna appeared suddenly inside Adam's mind, as she immediately saw Antasma sitting in a chair, before he said "Vhat are vou voinv vere?"
Luna then says "The others want to hear the truth straight from you, Antasma."
Antasma was silent, before he sighs, growls, and then says "Alrivht. Vust vake iv vuicv."
She nods and then grabs Antasma, before she pulls herself and Antasma out of Adam's mind...
Back with the group, outside Adam's mind...
There was a flash of purple and white, as Antasma himself appeared, in his more human form, but his outfit's color was that of his Antasma X's color palette...
Antasma groaned and said, no longer having the accent he had before, but now having an accent similar to a normal being, "Ugh... I feel like I was just hit by a hammer...", as he held his head in pain...
They all starred at the sight, as Antasma slowly got up, dusting himself off...
He then noticed the others, but he also saw Tipi and Blumiere, making him pale at the sight...
"It's been a long time, hasn't it, Blumiere?" Antasma said, as the others gained confused expressions from Antasma's expression and choice of words towards Blumiere...
Blumiere nodded and said "It definitely has... Prince Dark Dream."
This made the entire group's, except Antasma/Dark Dream, Adam, and Blumiere, eyes widen, before Peach said "Wait, PRINCE DARK DREAM!?"
Blumiere and Antasma/Dark Dream nodded at the same time, before Antas-No, Dark Dream said "Yes... The name Antasma is what I named myself after the Dark Stone corrupted me... And I was a prince before I even knew of the Dark Stone... or before I even knew Blumiere..."
Discord then raised a copy of his claw up and asked "Hang on, what are you the prince OF, exactly?"
Dark Dream smiled and said "The Tribe of Nightmares, which was originally part of the Tribe of Darkness... the same tribe Blumiere is from... along with one of the heirs of the Tribe of Darkness... Dimensio."
Celestia froze at this, before she growled and said, with venom in her voice, "Dimensio..."
They all looked to her, as her mane glowed brighter or dimmer every couple moments, before Faux asked "Um... Ms. Celestia, are you alright?"
Celestia growled a bit, before she stopped herself and took deep breaths, then she said "Yes, yes I am, young Faux... that name... Dimensio... it angers me to no end...", putting emphasis on that last part...
"Why? Wait, is it because it reminds you of Dimentio?" Corban said, making Bowser growl in anger... And also making Tipi growl angrily, surprising Corban...
"Yes and no... yes, because Dimensio is Dimentio's brother and Dimensio went mad when his parents gave up their lives to protect them... And no because... Dimentio is my child." Celestia explained...
The others took this in, before Twilight screamed, using the Royal Canterlot Voice for the first time, "WHHAAATTTT!?"
Her scream, mixed with the Royal Canterlot Voice, was heard all across the planet, making ponies fall out of bed, making Dragons and bears in hibernation awake to the sound, and making the Zebras think it was an act of their gods, as well as making the Changelings, Crystal Ponies, Windigos, and every other species panic...
Everyone was no deaf from the Royal Canterlot Scream, thanks to Twilight...
