> Code: Lyoko: Friendship Awakens > by DanBoeing > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- > Chapter 1: Arrival > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Code: Lyoko Friendship Awakens: The Different World A Code: Lyoko/ MLP fanfic This story takes place about a year after My Little Dashie It’s not nessecary, but it’s a nice story that helps understand a key moment(s) later on in the story. . Chapter 1 “Today is going to be a great day!" Jeremy thought to himself. Today was the last day of the school year for all of them. It had been a rough one for the gang. Having destroyed X.A.N.A. and shutting down the super computer was a victory to remember, but no victory comes without sacrifice. Aelita's father, Franz Hopper, had sacrificed his own life to destroy the deadly M.A.S. he had created. They would never forget that day, and now they were going to leave the school forever. Jeremy had been so lost in his thoughts he forgot what he was doing. “Oh no! I’m going to be late!" said Jeremy after bolting out of his room. “Hey, where's Einstein? Did he forget we were all going to meet at the factory to pay our respects?" asked Odd. “Don’t worry Odd; I’m sure he wouldn't forget, he probably just had something to finish up." said Ulrich reassuringly. "Ulrich does have a point, I'm sure Jeremy wouldn't forget." Said Aelita. " Look, here he comes now!" Everyone watched Jeremy come running to the factory entrance. Jeremy thought to himself as he ran, remembering everything that happened here from turning on the supercomputer, until the fall of X.A.N.A. "Hey Einstein, what took you so long?" Odd asked. “Oh... um... I was just finishing up something I had to do." Jeremy replied. " I told you Odd." Ulrich said with a smile on his face. “Alright you win, now come on, let’s go inside." said Odd. The door to the supercomputer room opened, they all watched as the giant machine rose out of the ground, but something wasn't right. When the four of them finally realized what was wrong, all they could do was stand there in shock. "B-But that’s imp-possible..." Jeremy stuttered. The supercomputer was on! Not only was it on, but instead of its yellow glow, it had a bright blue light! Someone was here, and had done something to the machine. “This can't be good..." said Odd. “I’m going to the lab to check it out, you three keep looking around to see if you find anything." said Jeremy as he climbed the ladder out of the room. Jeremy quickly ran to the screen of the supercomputer and booted it up. Someone had been here alright... Jeremy thought to himself. Something bothered him though. Why had someone come here? How did they even get in? Those were the only things Jeremy was thinking, but he soon stopped and looked at the screen. It was completely different from before! it looked all broken, like the data was ripped right out of it. Among the mess he could see a window, for a program he had not seen before, it had been running for several days apparently. He soon realized there was something about the program that seemed familiar... There was an image of The Core of Lyoko on it, it looked like a black hole replaced the core, and was sucking everything inside it. " JEREMY!" Jeremy stopped after hearing Odd, Ulrich, and Aelita scream in unison. He quickly rushed down the ladder into the supercomputer room where he was almost pulled off the ladder by an extremely powerful force. He held on with all his strength and looked in the direction the wind was blowing. It was not blowing, but being pulled into a black hole, just like the one in the core chamber. To the left, he saw Odd, Ulrich, and Aelita hanging on to the elevator door. “Jeremy! We can't hold on much longer!!" shouted Aelita, tears streaming from her face. Jeremy could only watch in horror as one by one, his friends fell into the dark void. Soon, Jeremy could not hold on either, and was pulled into the void. It was a beautiful day in Ponyville, the sky was clear and the sun was beating down with the rays of summer. Pinkie Pie was overly energetic (as usual) and was bouncing her way across town. Apple Jack was kicking the apples out of the trees so she could sell them to all the hungy ponies that needed it. Rarity was messing around with a new dress design, she didn't really like it, but she was too bored to care. Fluttershy was tending to her (millions of) animals, giving them baths, feeding them, everything that they liked. She enjoyed the time with her animals, even if some acted spoiled. Rainbow Dash was flying through the sky, making sure there were no clouds, while also doing some tricks and attempting to do a sonic rain boom, but ended up crashing into the ground right outside Twilight's library. Twilight was reading, because other than her friends, its the only thing she enjoyed. She had to stop due to the fact that when Rainbow crashed, she caused all her books to fall off the shelves. “He-he... Uh... sorry about that Twilight" said Rainbow, trying not to laugh. Twilight sighed "It's ok Rainbow, I'll just have spike re-shelve them." Rainbow Dash took off as Twilight went back to her book. As she was walking back, something strange started to happen, he horn started to glow a bright blue. "What's going on? it never glowed that color before." Twilight thought aloud. Suddenly... the lights cut out, and all she could hear was a distant roar of thunder. In under just five seconds, the beautiful sky had turned into a raging thunderstorm. Thunderstorm was different though, the lightning had A bright blue light coming from it, just like Twilights horn, which was still glowing. "What the hey is going on?!" Rainbow Dash shouted at the other weather ponies . "There wasn’t any type of storm planned today, or for the next 3 weeks!!" "We don’t know what’s going on either, we sure as heck didn’t do it." replied one weather pony. "Well if none of us did... then who?" asked Rainbow Dash. She jumped back just as a bolt of lightning struck the ground right before her. "Hey what the-" she was cut short when her mind began to flare up with memories connecting to that lightning; it seemed so familiar to her. It didn't take her long to realize what that storm really was, thanks to her memories, and Twilight. Daddy... Rainbow Dash thought. That storm and lightning were the same one that teleported her to that different world, almost one year ago. Dash began to tear up as the thoughts of her beloved father came flowing back to her. Every pony in Ponyville, even Canterlot, stared at the sky. Even the two fair princesses Celestia and Luna stared at this storm, not knowing what was going on. Celestia did have a hunch on what it was, and she soon realized she was right. it was the same storm that sent Rainbow Dash into the other world. By her logic, instead of it taking some one this time, it would probably send someone to them. "I hope you can stop this Twilight..." Twilight and her friends gathered around her as the all stared at her, frightened. Fluttershy was acting weird though, she wasn’t cowering in fear, she was acting courageous, and standing up tall. It was Rainbow Dash who was cowering, but not in fear. "I-I-I don’t know what’s-" Twilight was stopped short when Apple Jack's hoof went into her mouth, telling her to be quiet. "Now Twilight, ah know that you don’t know what’s goin’ on with this weather, we all do, but your horn is glowing like them lightning bolts, and ah see a connection between you and them." said Apple Jack with a stern look on her face. "It's the same storm that sent Rainbow dash to the other world... But why has it started up again, and why is my horn glowing?" asked Twilight. "Sugar cube, we only know 'bout as much as you do." said Apple Jack. "I can try to find out more... just let me- GAAAAHHH!!!!!!!!!!" Twilight stopped mid-sentence to let out a bloodcurdling scream of pain as her horn's light grew so bright it blinded all of them > Chapter 2: The World Without Danger > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Chapter 2 After the light had disappeared, the sky was clear, and there were 4 other ponies lying on the ground behind Twilight. "Ugh... Aelita? Odd? Ulrich?" Jeremy called out. He went to rub his eyes with his hand, but instead felt a hoof. "What the heck?!" Jeremy said as he jumped back, startled at the sight of his hoof. Aelita, Odd, and Ulrich had finally come to, only to realize that they looked very different. "Um... Hello?" said Twilight cautiously, trying not to startle the ponies any more. "Huh? Who is there?" asked Jeremy, who still was lying on the ground. "Um hi... My name is Twilight Sparkle... and who are you?" said Twilight as she extended her hoof out to Jeremy. Jeremy took her hoof and used it to help him stand up, it took him a couple seconds to get used to standing on four legs. He adjusted the glasses on his face with his hoof so he could get a better look around. He caught sight of the purple pony named Twilight that had helped him to his feet. "Oh thank you very much Twilight Sparkle... My name is Jeremy Belpois... and do you know why I am here, or where we are?" asked Jeremy. "I'm sorry but i can only answer one of those questions. You're in a town called Ponyville, it’s in the land known as Equestria. As an answer to another question you might ask, you are a pony, apparently. You came from the human world through a portal that was opened by a mysterious blue light... We have seen you're kind before, our friend Rainbow Dash was teleported to your world once through the same portal you enterd ours from. But this time, the portal was opened on your side." said Twilight. "Ponyville? What kind of name is that?" Odd asked. "Yeah... That is a strange name." said Ulrich. Aelita rose up out of her daze. As she rose, all the ponies around her bowed their heads in respect. "Umm... Thank you for the warm welcome, but why are you bowing?" asked Aelita. "Because you are an Alicorn, A god of this land..." said Twilight. “You see... Alicorns are gods with great power, they have the ability to use magic and can fly." said Rainbow Dash as she gestured towards Aelita's horn and wings. "We can talk later, let’s go inside, I’ll give you a mirror to see your selves." said Twilight as she opened the door. Jeremy was looking at himself in the large mirror, noticing the horn on his forehead and a strange image on his flank. "What’s that?" Jeremy asked Twilight. "It's called a 'Cutie Mark'. it defines your special talent. Though I can’t make out any of yours." said Twilight. Closer investigation of the mark showed that it was an image of Lyoko on the Holo map. Aelita had The Eye of X.A.N.A., Odd had a Dog paw print, and Ulrich had two sabers. This all made sense because their special talents did deal with Lyoko. Jeremy had a light blue coat with a long blonde mane and tail with dark blue tips, while Aelita shared a color scheme with Pinkie Pie, her mane and tail were the same as Pinkie's as was her coat, but Aelita's mane was straight and short and had streaks of light pink. But Aelita had dark pink eyes, Jeremy had dark blue. Odd had a color scheme matching his last Lyoko outfit, a purple coat, yellow spikey hair with purple streaks. He also noticed he had a pair of wings. Ulrich had a light brown/ dark yellow coat with brown hair that had dark yellow streaks, and light blue eyes, Odd had light blue eyes as well. "Sorry we didn't all properly introduce our selves... Im Rarity." said the rather stylish mare. "H-Hello... I-I’m flutter-shy..." said the butter-yellow Pegasus very quietly. "I'm Rainbow Dash! The best flyer in all of Equestria! The only one who was able to break the sound barrier! The only one able to-" The Rainbow maned Pegasus pony was stopped by an orange hoof going into her mouth to muffle her words. "Enough boastin' Rainbow... He he... sorry 'bout that, she’s just a little too proud of her self... I'm Apple Jack, I run the sweet apple acres, we supply the food to Ponyville, well most of It." said the well-built pony. then Jeremy was tackled by a pink blur that was bouncing on him. "Hi! I'm Pinkie Pie!!! Oh we must throw a party for you guys!!! You're just going to love love love love love love my parties!!!" said the enthusiastic pink Earth pony. "Well that’s everyone." said Twilight as she pulled Pinkie off of Jeremy. "Ok... It's our turn now, I'm Jeremy Belpois." said Jeremy. The other three stated their names, they had no occupation. "Come on! I'll take you guys on a tour of the place!" said Twilight enthusiastically. "I still don't understand why it's called sugar cube corner... It's not even made of sugar! Or even a cube!" Odd complained. "Hey, I only know just about as much as you do... Why Pinkie works there is beyond me." said Twilight. "I must admit... This is a pretty nice place... I never thought there were alternate dimensions though!" said Jeremy. "I know this must be hard getting used to... Especially since you’re not in human form... But something bothers me... If you turned into ponies when you came to us... Why didn't we turn into humans when we went to go find Rainbow Dash?" said Twilight. "I have no clue, but one thing is for sure... Something must have gone horribly wrong for us to end up here... Hey Twilight... What color did the lightning in the storm look like?" asked Jeremy. "Well... It was a light blue... Not to mention that my horn was also glowing the same color... Why do you ask?" Twilight asked in response. "Well that makes total sense... The supercomputer was the same color... and that black hole... Or should I say portal... Was also a light blue...? Well that’s one problem solved... If only I had my computer... Maybe I could find a way back..." said Jeremy. "Your what-now?" said Apple Jack. All the ponies looked at Jeremy, waiting for an answer. "Well you see-" Jeremy was cut off when Twilight interrupted him. "It's a device that utilizes electricity to do very complex things that the brain can never do on its own... I have a book called 'Human Technology' in my library... Come on... I'll show you what it is." "So that’s what it is? How the heck do you use it?" Pinkie asked. "It's far too complicated for many people... And ponies don't have fingers... But I happen to know how to use it! I just need fingers" said Jeremy as he looked down at what used to be arms and sighed. "Or you could use your horn!" Pinkie suggested. "Hey... That's not a bad idea... the thing is... I don't know how... Either way i still don't have a-" Jeremy was cut short when something landed on him. "Computer? Isn't this a computer?" Pinkie said as Jeremy rose to see what had hit him on the head. "Hey... That is a computer... More importantly, it’s my laptop! How did you even find it? I didn't take it with me..." Jeremy said. "I dunno, I found it next to you guys when you first came here and I thought it was a stone on the road that had a-" "What the..." Jeremy said cutting off the pony. "What is it Jeremy?" Aelita asked. "This is impossible! My computer still has a link to Lyoko! Even though were an a completley different dimension! How is this even possible?" said Jeremy. "What the heck is 'Lyoko'? Is that some sort of computer program?" asked Twilight. "Kind of... Ok... here is our story... Lyoko was a virtual world that I discovered about 4 years ago... Aelita was inside this world and had no memory of what had happened to her... There were five of us... Me, Odd, Ulrich, Aelita, and Yumi, but she moved to Japan after she graduated..." Jeremy continued on with their story. Telling them everything about their adventures. "...we knew this would be our last day on Lyoko... but we had no idea how it would end... Aelita made it to Sector Five so she could launch the program... Only to find out that that there wasn't enough power to launch the program... That is... Until her father sacrifice himself... Giving us the energy we needed to launch the program... And kill X.A.N.A. After that... We shut down the supercomputer... Or so we thought... Because when we came back to the factory to say one final goodbye before we graduated... It was on... And instead of its regular yellow glow, it was a light blue... and that’s how we ended up here." Jeremy said, finishing up the story. Suddenly... A sound came from the computer... A sound that was all too familiar to the group... "No... That's... That's impossible... How is this possible?!?!?!" said Jeremy in a mixture of anger, confusion, and fear. "What is it...? Jeremy?" said Aelita, even though that the four of them already knew the answer. "It's... X.A.N.A..." > Chapter 3: The Return of An Old Friend (Pilot Part 1: Ending) > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Chapter 3 An eerie quietness filled the room, until it was broken by Twilight. "W-What do we do? We all know what X.A.N.A. is capable of... But what can we do? You guys can’t get back to Lyoko, more or less your world." The eerie silence returned again but this time it was broken by the bloodcurdling scream that came from outside. The group rushed out the door to see what was wrong... only to find that the town was under attack by... Robots... The robots from Siberia. Houses were burning; the sky was covered with smoke... And ponies were running in every direction. "Come on! We have to move! I'll take care of them! You remember what I did to Apple Jack's old barn right?" said Rainbow Dash. "I sure do Rainbow... Just try not to die." said Twilight as she and the others ran for cover. "What did Rainbow do to your barn Apple Jack?" asked Odd. "Oh boy... you'll see, and ya might wanna take cover... Now." said Apple Jack. "But why-" *BOOM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!* The ground shook like a 9.0 earthquake as a rainbow colored mushroom cloud rose to the sky, with residue from a sonic boom. As the dust cleared, the ponies could all see the piles of metal that were once deadly robots, and a proud Rainbow Dash standing in the middle. "Ten seconds flat." said Rainbow with a chuckle as she walked by them. The others could only look in shock at the mangled mess. "What the heck were the robots from Siberia doing here?" asked Odd. "I don't know... But I think i might know how they got here... If I stil have a connection to Lyoko... Something must be keeping the portal open just enough to allow the link to get through... With that... X.A.N.A could materialize robots just like we used to teleport ourselves to destroy Replikas," said Jeremy. "So what? Do we just sit here and let X.A.N.A terrorize the rest of Equestria? Is there nothing we can do?!" shouted Twilight. "There might be something, but there is only a 0.5% chance of this working..." said Jeremy. "Well go on... Tell us," said Odd. Everyone stared at Jeremy... Waiting desperately for a response. "Ok... Throughout our fight with X.A.N.A and the Replikas, I was starting to think... What if X.A.N.A managed to destroy the scanners? Or if we can't get to the factory? I was working on a sort of remote virtualization process that didnt require a scanner... Just a high power source and any computer with a link to Lyoko... It hasn’t been tested yet, and even if it did work, I'd need a nuclear power plant for the power... So it could never work," said Jeremy. " But that doesn’t mean we can't try," said Twilight as she put her hoof on Jeremy's shoulder. "Ok, let's go back to the library and try it out," said Jeremy, now sounding more confident. The ponies watched with amazement as Jeremy's hoofs flew across the keyboard on his laptop, with each press being answered by a bunch of words scrolling up and down the screen. "Don't tell me you actually understand all of this?" said Pinkie. "It's not so hard, I mean, once you get used to it," said Jeremy. "Ok it's ready. Odd, Ulrich, and Aelita, stand in front of me and clear your head... I hope this works," said Jeremy. "OK... Here we go..." "Transfer Odd!" They all waited, but nothing happened. "I knew it... It would never work, I was a fool to actually think-" Jeremy was cut short by a glow that started to fill the room. Jeremy's horn started glowing and Odd started glowing as well. Jeremy looked at his screen and saw that Odd's data card had been selected on the transfer menu. "IT WORKS!" said Pinkie with a cheer. "So it does... Ok... Transfer Aelita! Transfer Ulrich!" Aelita, Ulrich, and Odd were all glowing now along with Jeremy's horn. "Scanner Odd!" Odd noticed that a circle of light came from his tail and traveled up to his head. The image on Jeremy's screen matched what was happening to Odd as the ring collected data from Odd. "Transfer Aelita! Transfer Ulrich!" As expected, the same ring formed around Aelita and Ulrich. "Ok... Time for the moment of truth... VIRTUALIZATION!" There was a blinding light that appeared as Odd, Ulrich, and Aelita pixilated and dissappeared. "...Jeremy?...Jeremy?... JEREMY!" Jeremy was awoken by the voice that was inside his head, he hadn’t realized that he passed out after the process. The voice he heard was Aelita's. "Ugh... my head... Oh I'm sorry, Aelita! Is every one alright?" Jeremy asked. "We're better than alright! We're back to normal!" said Odd as he started doing acrobatics in his human form on Lyoko. It was true; they were back to normal... They felt bad for saying that it kind of sucked to be a pony but it was how they felt, it was too hard for them to be on all fours. "Thats great! So... What's it like being back on Lyoko after so long?" inquired Jeremy. "Well it’s not that different, but there is one thing..." said Odd. "W-What is it?" asked Jeremy. "Well, I don’t think there is just one activated tower... I'll have Aelita up-link you a visual." said Odd. Jeremy and the others could only stare in shock at the screen. All the towers in the desert sector were red. "B-But how is that possible, even X.A.N.A. couldn't do that before, how is he able to now?" asked Twilight. A loud noise came from behind them as light blinded their view. It took them all a couple seconds to realize that there was some one standing behind them. The dark figure spoke, " It's not X.A.N.A." "W-Who is it then? And who the heck are you?" asked Jeremy. The figure became a lot clearer now. It was an alicorn, it was a dark blue with a bright yellow mane that seemed to glow like the sun. But that wasnt what suprised them, the cutie mark the alicorn had, was The Eye of X.A.N.A. "W-WHO THE HECK ARE YOU?!" asked Jeremy as he jumped back in shock. "I'm surprised you didn’t recognize me Jeremy," said the figure “As an answer to your earlier question, my name is, Franz Hopper." > Chapter 4: Enter Franz Hopper > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Chapter 4 "F-Franz?!? But how is this possible? You sacrificed yourself to power the M.A.S." said Twilight. “That is what you thought, I can’t go into full detail on what happened, but I can reassure you it isn’t X.A.N.A." said Franz. "Ok, But how did you get here though?" asked Jeremy. “Well the same way that you did. How else did you think I got to this dimension?" said Franz. "...Um... Jeremy? Are you still there? What’s going on?” Jeremy snapped back to the computer where his friends were. “Uh, Guys, I have to bring you in." said Jeremy. “WHAT?!?!" They shouted in unison. “Are you insane? Do you know what X.A.N.A can do with this kind of power? We have to deactivate the towers!" said Odd. "It's not X.A.N.A." said Jeremy. “I can't tell you all the details... You have to see it for yourself.” The bright light filled the room once again as the bodies of Odd, Aelita, and Ulrich re-materialized. The first thing the 3 realized was the alicorn standing in the room with them. “Who is that guy?" asked Odd. “Guys, meet, Franz Hopper, father of Aelita and creator of Lyoko!" said Jeremy with a gigantic grin on his face. > Chapter 5: The Mystery of X.A.N.A > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Chapter 5 “D-Daddy?" asked Aelita. “Yes, yes it’s me, Aelita... It is strange being a pony isn’t it my dear? Wasn't that one of your dreams when you were younger?" said Franz. "Um... I know it’s nice to catch up but there is still the complete end of all life in existence that we kinda have to fix!" said Twilight trying to get everyone back to the matter at hand. “Right! And uh... I'm so sorry what are your names?" The ponies all introduced themselves. “So, can you all tell me why this supposedly beautiful town looks like it just got hit by a 9.0 earthquake?" asked Franz. “Well, there were some robots that came through the portal that were made by XA.N.A. Back when he was alive. They wrecked the town, but almost as if they were searching for something, not trying to destroy us." Aelita explained to her father. “Ahh I know what's going on!" said Franz. “W-Wait you do?! Wow, I thought this was going to be a lot longer, now we can fix it and go home-" Jeremy was cut short by Franz. "Well we can fix it, but we can't get home any time soon..." “But why?" asked Odd. "Well you see, there is an opening in the portal still, the problem is that the portal right now is the size of an elementary particle, so unless you can compress yourself to that size without turning into a black hole, then you could go home..." explained Franz. "Oh... Ok how do we fix it?" "Well, here is the thing, what you saw, was a program I was testing before I went to Lyoko, I thought I would have enough time to finish it, but I was wrong. It is an inter-dimensional search engine, I created it incase X.A.N.A were ever to be destroyed, which happened, it would search for a new type of control program with aspects similar to X.A.N.A. The robots in Siberia were built for that purpose, to search for another program similar to X.A.N.A to up-hold Lyoko, for you see, XA.N.A was the only thing keeping Lyoko together, that black hole in sector five and the computer room was the real world and Lyoko falling apart, as you remember, Lyoko is connected by the towers, and anything that happened on Lyoko would happen to the real world." Franz explained to the others. “But why didn’t the world get destroyed when Lyoko was destroyed by William?" asked Twilight. “Ah yes good question Ms. Sparkle, you see, X.A.N.A has a sort of, constant effect program running that he isn’t aware of, it minimizes the link to Lyoko and the real world, but as you saw, now that X.A.N.A is gone, that black hole opened up. That is why the robots are looking in different dimensions for another program close enough to X.A.N.A for the computer!" said Franz. “So what now?" asked Odd. “That’s where the problem is, there is no program with anything close to X.A.N.A's powers that can fit the super computer..." said Franz. ” Wait... Can't you just recreate it?" Twilight said in hopes to help raise the hopes of the others. “Oh yes of course! How could i forget! There is one thing, it will take a while to get this done, remember it took me about 2000 days to finish all that? So in the meantime while I work on the program, we will all be stuck here..." said Franz. “Well I guess it’s not all bad, at least we have friends!" said Odd cheerfully. Hehehehe… Everything is going according to plan > Chapter 6: The Wandering Voice > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Chapter 6 "Okay people, getting this to work is going to take nothing short of a miracle, so let's get this right the first time and maybe we can all go home" The library was alive with noise from computers and hoofs making contact with the ground as the ponies worked as fast as they can to ensure the M.A.S. would be complete with in their life time. "Wait a sec, how the heck did we get more computers, we only had one and that was Jeremy's!" Odd said "It was a simple copying spell, and a few dozen modification spells... Nothing to worry about." responded Twilight. "This is incredible! At this rate of progress, M.A.S should be complete in a matter of days- Oh wait, I meant weeks. Any how! it beats 2000 days am I correct?" said Franz with cheer as he took the latset reading from the computer. A cheer echoed through the library, a cheer that came from the four warriors, a cheer that said: "Were coming home!" "Data Log: 426... Date: November 12, 2012... Video Journal Entry: 1284... Okay, this may seem a bit strange... and possibly out of the ordinary, but i just saw a flying box! A flying box! A blue one at that, it seems like I'm the only one who noticed, though, military chatter has been a bit high, including discussion about some Energy signature somewhere here in france... They were quite concerned about it, so it's time I do some spying, wish me luck!" Ron powered off his video camera, gathered his equipment, and then jumped out the window. Ron had recently come to France so he could study abroad, well, that was his cover story atleast, he heard rumors of a group of kids and a computer that held inside it a world, he couldn't resist the oppourunity to take a look. He arrived at the location, and found it swarming with what he assumed to be UN militia, he wondered why they would need to be involved in a matter concerning this. "What the heck are they doing here? Never mind that, I've got to find a way in." Ron ran around the area, looking for a weak spot in their guard, he found a sewer entrance, unguarded, and out of sight. "Well, i guess this is better than getting shot..." he said as he climped the ladder down into the sewer. He didn't knwo much of the place, all he new was that there was a school here, and an abandonned factory not to far from here, that was where most of the commotion was. Dear god, more than 1200 UN soldiers guarding that area, this is going to be fun. HE found a way out of the sewers, as he surfaced he found himself on a bridge, he could see the factory entrance, and a few guards coming towards him. "Sir, this is a restricted area, im going to have to ask you to-" The guard was interrupted by a man who came up behind him. "Don't worry he's a friend, let him in" said the man to te guard The guard moved out of the way, letting him pass. "I'm sorry, but who are you, I don't even know you." Ron said to the man. "Look, we haven't much time to talk, I'm The Doctor, just leave it at that." said the man. > Chapter 7: Just The Doctor > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Chapter 7 "So... just The Doctor eh? Fine, I'm Ron, I investigate the weird and strange." said Ron as he and The Doctor entered the elevator in the factory. "Ah I knew i heard of you before, Getting into government files, hacking radio transmissions, the works. Heh, you know that you are currently a wanted man by UNIT? Too bad I got in there way, you see, I too investigate weird and strange things, mostly dealing with timey-wimey, and I do it better." replied the Doctor. The Doctor pulled out a weird probe-like thing and pointed at the console. "What the heck is that? It looks like some sort of sonic probe." asked Ron "It's a screwdriver, a sonic screwdriver... How did you know it was sonic?" The Doctor replied. "I don't know, just looks like something... sonic-ish..." He activated the screw driver and steadied it as he went through all the possible codes for the door untill he found the right one. "Ah! There we go!" The Doctor said. The console screen closed as the door opened. The room was filled with an ambient light, of a blue light coming from the center fo the room. "Well, this seems like something that would send them running here..." said Ron, observing the room. "Why would you say that?" The Doctor said. "I mean look at it, this isn't normal HUMAN tech, not by a long shot, the design is far to advanced, this shouldnt even exist." "How would you know that?" The Doctor said, becoming more and more interested in his new friend. "I'll tell you, but first, who are you? I mean really, who are you? what planet? what race, what system?" replied Ron. The room quickly filled with and akward sound, nothing, there was not a sound, only the breathing and the heart beats of the two men. The Doctor sighed "I guess I'd have to tell you at some point." The Doctor walked over to a corner, and then he snapped his fingers. at that instant, a light filled the room, a light that beat back the ambient blue light. ron walked into the light, entering a massive room, with lights, stairs, and at the center, a giantr piston surrounded by a console. "Welcome aboard the good ship TARDIS" The library was quiet as night continued into its third hour. everyone had done the days work, and needed rest. "Twilight, you asleep?" asked Applejack. "No, im too busy trying to defragment the core drive on this CD... ugh I meant im trying to think..." said Twilight "Good, ah have some doubts about theese people, ah mean, they came out of nowhere with this fancy light stuff, and are asking us to make something that we don't even know. I'm worried, what if they want to harm Equestria, or the princess's, or Ponyville.." "Granted they may be complete strangers, but they are the only ones who seem to know what is going on." "That's what I'm saying, what if this is all staged, and what if they are just using us, like cattle." And so paranoia ensues the young mare and her friends... But will that be enough? The time draws nearer, and I grow restless... > Chapter 8: Hello Equestria! > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Chapter 8 "Not even the least bit surprised? Is it really that hard to impress people these days? last person who saw the whole 'Bigger on the inside thing nearly fainted- No wait, she actually fainted, had to take her to the hospital, don't know why I did that, turned out she fainted due to breathing problems.. Any way, what was I going on about? Oh yes that's right, people are always amazed at the fact..." Ron let his attention slip from The (still-rambling) Doctor, as he focused on the Tardis. "Doctor?" Ron said, calling The Doctor out of his endless ramble. "Yeah?" The Doctor replied. "This ship, the Tardis, its the type 40 am I right?" "Yeah... But how on Earth did you know that?" The Doctor replied, becoming even more curious of his recently new found friend. "I-I don't know... This ship was stolen wasn't it, by you... From someplace far... very far-" Ron was cut off as a bell rang on the Tardis console "Ah! It's done!" The Doctor said excitedly. "What's done, what did you do?" Ron replied, fearing the worst. "Ah well, when you started spouting out things I would never expect from a human I had just met, considering the fact you knew what model the Tardis right off the bat when some of my other companions couldn't even plug in a coffee machine, I decided to run a scan on you, find out who you are, what race, your real name, age, and birth location." The Doctor explained as he walked over to the monitor. "Seems a bit creepy don't you think?" Ron said with a slight chuckle. There was no response. "Doctor?" Ron called out. "No... something must be broken, this can't be right, this can be right..." The Doctor said in panic, rushing around, fidiling with various objects on the console that made funny little noises in response. "What's wrong Doctor?" "It's the scan report... According to the Tardis, you don't exist." The Doctor said. Quietness suddenly filled the room, only to be replaced by the sound of various alarms going off as the Tardis began to shake violently. "What the hell is going on?!" Ron shouted as he hung from a guard rail. "The gap is active again, what ever happened before that sent out the energy pulse is happening again, I think were being pulled into another dimension!" Said the Doctor, hanging on to the console. The Tardis fell through the gap, into the other dimension, The interior was being ripped apart due to the ammount of stress the Tardis was under trying to stay in the current dimension, but its efforts were all for nothing, as the pull was stronger, and the Tardis fell and fell... "Ugh... Where are we...?" Ron asked as he got up from the floor, rubbing his head where he had smacked into the console. "Not a clue... by the way, is it me or did we get shorter?" The Doctor responded. "Only one way to find out!" Ron said as he ran out the doors. Ron opened the doors, only to find 11 ponies standing right outside the doors. "Uh Doc, I don't think were in France anymore..." Everything is ready... Everything is in place, now all it needs is me... Commander, ready the troops, wait for my return, I have a battle to finish... > Chapter 9: The Seeds of Mistrust > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Chapter 9 [This chapter takes place before and during: Chapter 8: Hello Equestria! "I said: I think we should just wait a bit before finishing this whole Xana thing... I mean, we don't even know who you guys are? You just appeared randomly one day and now were making some sort of crazy thing for you!" Twilight heeded Applejacks words and told the rest of the six, and they decided to wait to see if they really can be trusted. This sparked an argument between the two groups, now the argument has been going on for about one hour. "Twilight, please listen to us... We need to get this done, there is alot more at stake than theese two worlds, I just need you to trust me for a few more days!" Franz said. "Wait- what do you mean there is more at stake than theese two worlds? You never said there were more than these two!" Twilight responded, becoming increasingly angrier. "Twilight, when I mean worlds I mean dimensions, this device is the life force of a multidimensional gate, Lyoko wasn't a computer program, it was another dimension, and I built the scanners to get there, and the computer to minutes the gate, and Xana was the life that powered it, and the creature that defended it... All of creation is at stake!" Franz shouted. Before anyone could speak, there was a knock at the door. "Is everypony alright in there? I heard some shouting while I was delivering mail, and I thought maybe I could be of some assistance!" said the voice, muffled by the walls. "Wait a sec, I know that voice..." said Twilight as she went to open the door. As the door opened, a grey Pegasus mare with blonde hair was revealed. "Your Derpy! The mail mare!" said Twilight. "It's Ditzy, only one person was ever allowed to call me Derpy..." said Ditzy under her breath "What was that?" "Oh- Nothing! Just whistling to my self." said Ditzy trying to change the topic. "Hey... You guys must be the new ponies in town! The one that everyone was talking about!" said Ditzy gesturing toward the warriors. "What is wrong with your eyes?" asked Odd. "I'd rather not talk about it..." said Ditzy sheepishly. "Heh, well I guess I'll he off then see you guys later-" Ditzy was cut short by a sound that was all too familiar to her ears, but yet it was different, it sounded like something was falling. "What is that noise?!" Twilight said as she started to panic, fearing another attack was on its way. "That's not Xana's doing..." said Franz with a confused look. "Doctor?" said Ditzy with tears in her eyes. "Doctor? Doctor Who?" asked Twilight. "Heh, that joke was always funny..." said Ditzy in response to Twilight's question. "Doctor! I'm coming for you!" shouted Ditzy as she took off towered the noise. The rest of the group ran outside after her, only to see what appeared to be a blue box falling toasted the library, wait, not falling... Crashing. "Get out of the way!" Twilight shouted to everyone. Everyone jumped out of the way of the box just as it landed right infront of Twilight. The doors opened and a blue Pegasus with yellow hair that had neon blue stripes walked out. "Hey Doc, I don't think were in France anymore..." said the Pegasus. > Chapter 10: The Pendant > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Chapter 10 "What do you mean 'were not in France anymore'? I know we moved, but not our place, we just slipped into an alternate reality!" The Doctor said as he walked towards the door. "As usual the lights are off... Which means the Tardis is either dead or lost power, good thing i always have a piece of her with me at all times... Also, Ron, did you let some wild animals in here- Did you open the petting zoo without my permission?!' Ron turned around to face the Doctor. The Doctor's face went pale at the realization of where he was. "Oh no... no no no no no!" shouted the Doctor, running outside, past the other ponies outside. "No... This is not good, not good at all..." said The Doctor, looking almost terrified. "What isn't good Doctor? the fact that we are now rainbow colored ponies or the fact that your Tardis is probably dead?" Ron asked. "Oh if it were as simple as that then I wouldn't be acting like the whole of creation is at stake, which now it is..." Said the Doctor. "Yeah um, don't mean to inturrupt, but, WHO THE HELL ARE YOU GUYS?!" asked Twilight, who was already shaken by thise weeks events. "Oh, of course, I'm-" The Doctor was cut off by what sounded like an angry demon speeding towards him at insane speeds. "DOOOOOOOOOOOOCTOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" The voice was female, and worse, the Doctor knew whose voice it was. The Doctor tried to run back to the Tardis, but it was too late, the mail mare Ditzy (Derpy) tackled him. "Look, Derpy, I-I can explain!" The Doctor said, his face filled wiht fear. "NO! YOU LEFT ME, WITHOUT SAYING GOODBYE, I WAITED WEEKS, MONTHS- and also the better part of last year- WAITING FOR YOU TO COME BACK!!!" shouted Derpy, "I know, but, if i didn't get back to my universe, it would most likley spell doom for it, and ripple effects could affect the whole of creation!" "Hey, Your necklace, where did you get it, it looks like it's glowing!" Twilight cut in. "Who, me? i dont have a necklace, they are too, weird..." said the Doctor. "Now you, your friend." said Twilight, pointing to Ron. "Oh, my name is ron, and I've had this thing for as long as i can remember... Meh, its just a necklace, a bad-ass looking necklace, but a necklace none the less, though, its never glowed before." said Ron staring at his necklace. "Well, that's no suprise, considering I havent seen you since the Catyclysm..." Said a mysterious voice. "Wait... I know that voice... A voice, from my past, oh gosh, i was a different man, that was a long time ago, The Beast..." said The Doctor. "Ah Doctor, the man of such wisdom and words, and soo many secrets, but no, I am not the beast himself, I am his mind, in its true form." said the voice. Soon after, the skies tuned red, as a thunder storm the likes of which have never been seen by mortals rolls in, turning the world black. Then, a single point of light, a portal, opening, from the aether dimension, and a man stepping out of it. "Come on Ron, you have to know who I am, heck, you're the cause of all this..." said the voice "I have no idea who, or what in the world you are, and what do mean 'all of this is my fault'?" Ron replied "Well, I guess I still have to do everything, after all this time, heh, listen to me, talking about time, how it is infinite, but yet limited, material, yet immaterial, and almost always in flux... The last of the Time Lords, gathered, for the beginning of a new era..." said the voice. "What do you mean, what time lords, there aren't any left but me!" said the Doctor. "Who the heck are you any way?" asked Ron "silly silly Ron, oh how easy it is to forget something, let me say this again: We came before time, before the universe, before creation, and yet we are creation, we are its cause and it's end, I am Datherik Natsef, Though, I am know through out creation as 'The Beast'. and you, Ron, you aren't who you say you are, I can see through your disguise, ever since the event, I have been planning, stranded in limbo, learning the secrets and shortcuts of creation, and then, divising mny plan to fix everything, starting with you." said Datherik raising his arm up and pointing it in Ron's direction. A bolt of lightning struck Datherik's hand, then the bolt turned into a swirling ball of energy, and then fifteen more bolts joined it. "For Cazareth!" shouted Datherik as he shot a beam from the ball, right into Ron's chest, as he turned back into his human form. The ball dissipated into Ron's chest, his eyes wide open, lying flat on the ground, clinging to life. "RON!" shouted the Doctor as he rushed to his side. Ron's pendant began to glow even more, the pieces on it, looking like a jigsaw puzzle, finaly begining to take shape, moving like gears in a machine. "Hey, Jeremy, Look!" Aelita said pointing to Ron's pendant. Ron's Pendant was finaly taking shape, and it was beginning to look like a very familiar symbol. "Is that, the eye of Xana?!" asked Jeremy in shock. It infact is the Eye of Xana, forming from the jigsaw on the pendant. As the pendant is completed, and the eye of Xana is formed, it begins to glow bright blue, like the computer, and Twilight's horn. As this happens, Ron's body beigins to glow, but instead of blue, it is yellow, bright yellow, getting brighter and brighter, and now energy is is begining to stream out from his exposed limbs. "What's happening to him?" Jeremy asked. The Doctor and Derpy, bothe knew what was happening, They were both in denial of the fact. "That's not possible, no, he can't be, he can't be- Every one, get back, GET BACK NOW!! RUN!' shouted the doctor as he and derpy tried to get everyone away from Ron. "Why?! What is he doing?!" Aelita asked. "The gift of the Time Lords, its not possible, but it is, He's regenerating..." "Regenerating?" asked Aelita. "My people- The Timelords, they have a way of cheating death by changing themselves completely, yet it is only a feat possible by time lords, and I'm the last because, I killed the rest." Ron's body exploded with regeneration energy, sending energy shockwaves rippiling though the land. Datherik only smiled with joy, leaving his coat to flap in the wind. After about 10 seconds of venting energy, a white ball begins to form from the pendant, engulfing Ron's body, and then exploding outwards, decimating most of ponyville. As the dust settled, people from around town began to circle around the epicenter of the explosion, where two men remain standing, face to face, as if taking their time to study every nanometer of the other person. "Ron, are you alright?" The Doctor asked. "My name isnt Ron, Its Dan, Dan Boeing. > Chapter 11: The Tale of Cazareth > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Chapter 11 A crowd began to gather around the two men, Dan and Datherik, with many more ponies coming, all from different areas, to get a glimpse at a rare sight. "You were dead." said Dan, breaking the silence in the air. "I was never dead, I was simply in non-existence for a period of time." replied Datherik. "Now that you're back, how many other innocent live are you going to take this time? Five million? Five Billion? Don't try to act all dumb around me, you forced me to regenerate so I would remember who you were, and if you wanted me to remember who you were, you would want me to resist the urge to kill you, so tell me, WHY ARE YOU HERE!?!" Dan's voice echoed through the valley, a powerful sound wave, fueled by rage. "I'm here to make you pay for what you did, to your family, to your friends, TO MY FAMILY, TO MY FRIENDS! YOU KILLED THEM ALL!!" shouted Datherik. "I didn't kill them, if anything, it was you, you knew that time could never be altered, and yet you did it anyway, your foolishness cost trillions upon trillions of lives, and our home. and now you are blinded by your actions and your rage is keeping you from thinking, you believe I did all this, and now you're here to kill me for it? Well if that is the case, then your idiocy will cost another life." responded Dan. "Don't act as if you had nothing to do with it, remember, it was you who used the Rendongale on the machine, come to think of it, how did you master it, it should have killed you, heck, it isn't even supposed to exist!" "The Rendongale was difficult to master, but, I've spent most of my childhood in the Cazeran Archives reading through ancient rituals, and I came across the book of Socran, the most forbidden book in the archives, being who we were, we have access to even the most forbidden of knowledge. I Spent all of my free time mastering it, then came the Gallong wars, and I was drafted. I used the majorly suppressed attack form of the Rendongale in combat, so i could get used to the energy it would drain. I knew that one day, I would have to use the full power of it, to stop the Cataclysm, the legend that was passed on since our beginning. I guess instead of preventing it, I caused it, but yet, it was inevitable, at least what I did allowed life to live on, and the proof is all around us, your plan would have ended everything, bringing everything into non-existence." "Um, excuse me, I don't mean to interrupt but, WHAT IN THE HELL JUST HAPPENED?!" yelled the Doctor. "Ah yes, sorry, I forgot to mention this, you know, getting caught up with someone I haven't spoken to since the dawn of time. Anyways, yes, I did just regenerate. Now you're probably thinking that it's impossible for that to be true, but you know the answer." said Dan in a rather cheerful voice. "But that is still impossible, you can't be a time lord, I killed them all, I'm the last one!" said the Doctor. "Well, here is where things get a bit complicated, me and Datherik are the time lords of old, we came before the universe, before the whole of creation, on a planet called Cazareth. We are the original genetic template for the time lords of this universe, granted your genetic template now is a lot different, making your lives shorter, and your regeneration limit lower, we are technically your great great great great great great great great- Oh you get the point! The thing is though, Cazareth was like the Pandorica of creation. in fact, were still on Cazareth, its just that it is, well, less compact, and the physics have changed a lot. It's really hard to explain..." Dan explained. "Okay, now that you have given a brief history lesson about us, I would like to get back to what I came here to do." said Datherik. "So what exactly did you come here to do? Also, Why wait until now? Why not eons later? Or before? Don't say because you were resting, you had eternity to do all this, and the ability to chose when to do all this?" Dan asked. "I came here to kill you and bring back Cazareth. Also, I just chose this particular moment because I felt like it, I don't need a reason to choose when and where to do things do I?" "Bring back Cazareth? How?! there is no way you could possibly do that- unless... No... No... I will not let you do that... That would undo everything, meaning none of this would have ever happened, but, since time couldn't be altered, we would just be in an endless loop, forever... But then again, that would also mean, that this is a fixed point in time, not just this universe, but a point connecting everything together, meaning, this will happen, and it has been happening... No! I- I just can't let this happen, I have to stop this, I don't care if I screw up everything, at least no one will have to relive Cazareth..." said Dan, tears streaming down his face as the pendant began to glow. "What the hell do you think your doing? You can't use the Rendongale, it died with Cazareth!" shouted Datherik, with fear beginning to overtake him. "You haven't noticed? The pendant, how I've always had it with me, how it always stayed the way it was? Well sir, the Rendongale is very much alive, and it's right here around my neck!" said Dan. The Pendant began to grow brighter and brighter with every passing second. Regeneration began to form around Dan, encasing him in a fiery ball, then it all flared white as a beam shot out from the center of the pendant, right at Datherik. "No... No! NOOO!!!" Gallong Rendongale Datherik > Chapter 12: The Fight Begins > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Chapter 12 The smoke from the blast finally cleared. The spot where Datherik stood was nothing but a charred remnant of what it used to be, still smoldering. "WHAT THE HELL HAVE YOU DONE?!" shouted the Doctor, obviously enraged by the violent actions just preformed. "You had NO REASON to kill him, and even if you did, we could have just tried negotiating, fighting is NEVER THE ANSWER!" "he isn't dead... If he were dead, his body would be right there where he was, he cant be atomized by any force other than his own, and even at that, he can remain alive... He is a cheap coward, and will no doubt be ready to burn this world to the ground..." said Dan. "Ok, so let me get this straight, three aliens have just walked into another dimension through a door which we can't go back into, and now one of the aliens just vaporized the other one with a necklace for no reason what so ever, and now that alien is apparently the evil one, and the other two have seemingly infinite knowledge of everything, I think i should get more sleep..." said Odd as he fainted. "Only now did I realize how quiet everyone has been..." said the Doctor "Well, its been a rough time for us, I mean, not to long ago we were supposed to graduate, and now were in a parallel world with talking horses and magic trying to rebuild one of our greatest enemies so we can get back to our world, WITH my father who I thought was dead! So yeah, forgive us if we're being a little quiet..." said Aelita. "I still don't know what exactly is going on, but there are two things that have been brought to my attention, the first being the fact that neither Luna nor Celestia are here, the second being that no pony in the crowd has run away, not even screamed, doesn't anyone find that a bit weird?" asked Twilight. "After all that's happened to them, I don't think they find anything weird, I mean, 5 people show up out of nowhere, two of them are gods, and then two more people fall out of a wood box that fell form the sky, and then another guy shows up and then he gets vaporized by some weird thing... I still can't even believe that I'm a horse!" said Jeremy. "Hold on, Twilight, you said Celestia and Luna, right?" asked Dan. "Yeah, why?" Twilight responded "They're still alive?" "Of course, wait, do you know them?" "Know them? Of course! Now i understand why a lot of this place brings back memories! This was where all this started! Everything that led to where we are now! I need to speak to them as soon as possible!" "I still don't understand a thing about what is going on right now, but you seem to know what you are doing..." The group arrived at the palace in Canterlot later that day, just as the sun was beginning to set. The guards opened the doors to the main throne room and the group walked in. They all stared at Celestia, amazed by the fact that her mane flowed like there was a steady breeze going through it, yet there was no wind. "Celestia! It's me! Dan! Do you remember? The war! the Cataclysm! The barrier!" shouted Dan as he ran towards her. "What are you talking about? I don't think I have ever seen you before, and what war are you talking about? In my entire reign I have never had a single war... Who are you?" asked Celestia. "What do you mean you don't remember? Don't you remember the war? The war that you had to fight to keep this land? The land that was your salvation from the harsh blizzards of the Frost dragons?" asked Dan. "I honestly don't know who you are or why you are here... Granted I know what has been going on in town, and I figured something was up, just like that storm not to long ago that brought those five other ponies here... Don't think I've forgotten you Doctor, you still owe me for what you did." said Celestia glaring at the Doctor. "Sorry, how was I supposed to know that there was an inter-dimensional creature hiding behind that door with the 'Keep out' sign on it!" said the Doctor. "Regardless, now is not the best time for this, my sister is recovering from and ailment of which I have never seen..." said Celestia. "What is wrong with her?" asked Twilight. "She is troubled by these 'dreams' or 'visions' of some sort." "What kind of 'visions?" asked Dan. "She says of some sort of room, with several beings in it, beings that aren't like us, but more like you... all of them wearing long white coats and observing a bunch of machines, but one machine in particular, this one machine, with a short-wide cylindrical base with a taller-thin cylinder extruding from it." said Celestia "What else did she tell you?' "I can't remember any more, I'll ask her, and, if she allows, you may come with me." said Celestia as she walked out the room. The group moved out into the halls of the palace as they watched Celestia enter what appeared to be her sister's room. After a while of waiting, Celestia came back out of the room and walked to Dan. "You may enter,but take your time, don't rush her, she is weak and doesn't have much strength" said Celestia. Dan entered Luna's room as Celestia closed the door behind him. He saw Luna looking out her window, in the direction of the Everfree. "Luna?" asked Dan, trying to get her attention. "You are Dan, yes?" asked Luna. "Yeah, I'm here to talk about those 'visions' of yours." "Yes, we know, we hope you might be able to aid us with these visions, as to their point of origin." "First off, that machine in the room, that color was it?" "The one that was in the center of the room? IT was a shade of yellow, some shade of it, it had more of a golden appearance to it." "Do you remember anything about the people in that room?" "Yes, There were two men in particular, a man, who's name is hidden from us, and, you." Dan's face went pale with the realization of what was happening. "You were in the vision, though, you looked different, but we know it was you in there." said Luna "What was going on in that room?" asked Dan, who was slowly filling with fear. "The machine was being activated, there was shouting, and then, and explosion, there was only two people in the room, that other man and you... the other man activated the machine and stepped into the light that it created, but you blew up the machine, and he disappeared... He vanished from reality, then there was nothing." "Luna, does the Gallong War ring any bells?" At the mention of those words, Luna froze, and her horn flared up with magic, the magic was the same color as the lightning and the computer. Her eyes began to glow as a magical pulse was released from her horn, a pulse that had enough force to send Dan flying into a wall. After hearing the commotion, the group ran to Luna's room, but they too were knocked back by the pulse. The group got up and continued running towards the room. As they flung open the doors, the saw Dan who was out cold on the floor, and Luna who was standing by the window, with magic leaking from her eyes which were still glowing. Another pulse sent the group into a nearby wall, while it sent Dan face-first into the door, which woke him up. As Dan regained consciousness, he soon realized what had just happened, and he had figured the second pulse came from Celestia, who's eyes were also glowing and leaking magic as she walked into the room. The glow then faded and both the sisters looked at Dan. "I take it that was the Level 9 Memory lock breaking... Was it not?" asked Dan. "Yes it was." replied Celestia. "I take it you remember everything then, do you not?" "I do remember everything... except for a few second period of time, what is that about?" "Well, you were just blasted into your own reality, there wouldn't be anything to remember now would there?" "I guess, so what happens now?" "You know very well what happens now, Glimpses of Cazareth were seeping into your sister's mind, as well as your's, that was because you lived there, this land of your's is the last remnant of Cazareth, and Datherik will no doubt wan't to restore it at any cost, meaning this land will become a battle ground, for a war that has not ended yet." The others were waking up as Dan was speaking to the sisters about what is to come. "What exactly are you saying?" asked Twilight "I'm sorry, but this is the moment your life changes, because now, we are at war, the next major confrontation of the Gallong War"
