lunas mouth opened but before sh could speak CB butt in saying "oh princess am i glad to see you something really bad is happening i cant get back to the real ponyville and everything is going wrong" luna looked concerned but smiled through it, she knew the situation but also knew that CB would have to go through it on her own else risk everything rushing to her too fast so she couldn't apprehend any of it.

"it is ok my dear subject i shall assist you in your pursuit, i was informed of your predicament when i recieved a letter from the local mail mare" smiled luna as she moved closer to CB "i heard about this creature and its strange ability but now im more informed i shall help you, the way to deal with this situation is to stop it at the source that means defeating whatever foul being is controlling that Kreskan creature, but i have a feeling you are not yet ready for any more information, i am sure there will be a time when you figure all of this out."

"thank you princess this has at least calmed me down a bit i know i can save everypony and once i have i'll be able to have a nice rest at home" replied CB with a worried smile "but for now i have to concentrate and find my way through this" and then suddenly she was shook awake by the ground, she ran outside where all the other ponies were staring at kreskan standing above someponies house, CB jumped into action literally and landed in front of kreskan just as he went to send her into the void she grabbed one of his spiny legs drops of red dripped from her hoof as she gripped hard onto kreskans sharp appendage and pulled tight dragging kreskan into the white smoky void with her, the fall hurt more than normally due to kreskans skin being poisonous to ponies but CB didn't seem to care, she had finally got hold of him and she could finally confront kreskan for all he has done.

"now! i want you to explain all of this and i wont take no for an answer" CB had never been this angry before but she was determined to get to the bottom of this no matter what kreskan looked down at CBs hoof and dropped a small bottle of ointment before her, the bottle was small and it looked like it would do more harm than good but CB had a feeling that kreskan wouldn't purposely attempt to kill her.

"fine i'll tell you everything but you have to promise me you'll help me be free of this depressing burden i have" said kreskan as a tear dripped from his eye and CB used the ointment which healed her instantly
"the truth is that i am linked to a being known as Grave Dismay a creature i am yet to have seen, he is from one of these dimensions yet he lives in a world stiuated within many layers of the void, which sadly i am unable to travel any deeper into the void on my own."

"i understand kreskan and you can count on me, but first in need to find some more information do i understand all of this can you point me in the right direction?" said CB as she smiled to kreskan.

"i can but we have to walk for a bit to get there, its at the other side of this void plain" kreskan explained as they both stood up, CB still in a bit of pain slowly started limping beside kreskan, the more they walked the less pain either of them felt, CB could tell from just looking at kreskan that one of the dimensions he travelled to had taken its toll on him, his scales looked cracked and slightly broken, and his blood was still dripping out occasionally, they walked silently and awkwardly for a few hours, both relatively enept with starting or continuing conversation, kreskan stopped.

"here we are, i will go on ahead to the next dimention when you are done here you will know everything and your eyeglass friend will know what to do" and with that a tear openned in front of them both, CB jumped in and shouted "See you soon!". CB landed on a metal floor in front of a spherical building black in colour with blue laser type lights striped over the sphere, strangely enough there was no other ponies or any creatures around. CB walked inside looking around it was overwhelming how beautiful it looked inside there.

"googie are you ok? you have been silent for a while" CB said with a worried tone to her voice, she was beginning to limp again but not as severely as before.

"i'm fine, i just feel a bit of dejavu around here, i cant seem to thin why" googie replied feeling a bit confused at what he was seeing, "lets just keep going theres a door over there, hopefully we han get you feeling better soon" they both reached the door and it opened in a flash of light.
