Meeting Them

Chapter 6

Ah, there you are Celestia. First the moon, then this infernal dimension with these idiotic hairless monkeys. You were not smart to come here......

The eight of us walked back to my house, everyone silently thinking about previous events (that is what I assume, anyway) and entered into my bedroom. Celestia began saying something about magic or other, but whatever she said, Rarity and Twilight understood it. All three of thier foreheads began to glow softly, eyes closed, slowly weaving the arcane energies to power the spell. No one said anything, not even Pinkie Pie, who usually is talking without any reason or goal other than to talk. The silence lasted for almost seven minutes, ending with Pinkie and I playing rock-paper-scissors, AJ and Rainbow Dash arm wrestling on my desk, and the three magic casters still, well, casting. Fluttershy was laying down on my bed, apparently trying to relax.

I pulled out my IPod and thought a certain song, one almost completely devoid of lyrics, perfect to pass the time. Pinkie took one of the earbuds, and the two of us just listened to the guitar. We looked over at my desk to see Applejack and Rainbow Dash still stuck in the same stalemate as they started with. Pinkie and I giggled at the scene.

Suddenly, Pinkie started to shudder all over, her eyes going bug-eyed. When the shuddering stopped, she turned to me and appeared to be about to say something, but then her eyes bugged out even more (if that's possible), her hand clenching her knee.

She finally whispered "If a shudder means a doozy's gonna happen, and a pinchy knee means something scary's gonna happen, then we have a scary doozy on our hooves!" It occured to me that she had said 'hooves' out of habit, despite being a human right now, but I got her message.

As if on cue, Celestia flung her head back and let forth and unearthly wail of pain. Twilight and Rarity were clutching their heads in pain, their faces screwed up from the intensity. The light from their foreheads was building in intensity, so much so that I had to cover my face with my hands. I don't know what happened to the others. All I know is that I once again blacked out.

Meanwhile, in Celestia's mind....

Celestia was in a void, black and featureless, seemingly unending. She looked around to see no one else, and to hear the clopping of hooves. She looked down to see she was in her normal form, an alicorn. As she looked around, a breeze began to blow through the void, carrying with it the faintest of words.

Celestia.....

Yoo-hooooo.......

I'm baaaaaaack........

Celestia recognized the voice. Despite the tone, it was still the same haughty, arrogant voice that posessed her sister over one thousand years ago.

"You think you can beat me?" Celestia shouted into the void. "You have no chance against me!"

The voice recalled the words of a famous fictional villain.

Don't you think I know that? I plan to see you suffer, make you wish you were dead. First, I attack your heart!

Celestia whispered "Wha..." Before it dawned on her. She wasn't the target.

Hehehehe..... See you around.....

A/N: Sorry for the short chapter. I just needed to get a transition chapter so I can get the real plot underway. I've been cooking this one up for a while, now.
