5 - Nikki's Knowledge + Vs. Mane 6 (Final Mix Exclusive)

Chapter 5 - The Dream - Vs. Mane 6 (Final Mix Exclusive)

After getting settled inside this mysterious yet familiar white room, I decided to talk to Silver some more. He seems to have changed already just by looking at his astounding gold mane. I approached him, while he was sitting down on a chair that was extraordinarily high with a familiar cyan diamond at the top of it. I look at him say, "Hey, buddy! How's it going up there?"

He looks down to see me, "Oh, It's just great up here! I feel so happy now that all of this is happening to me...and I have you to thank Alex." He gives me a smile as his mane sparkles. "Without you, I would have still been all alone in my own little world. Now, I can just look at myself and smile at what has happened. I love this new mane color! It's so unique and beautiful."

I give a small chuckle at what I had done. "It sure is nice to see that you're enjoying yourself up there." I said, "Anyways, I'm gonna go talk to Nikki now. We will talk some more later."

"Alright, talk to you later friend!" He says as he gets back into a relaxed position. He actually looked kinda cute sitting up there. Though I wonder why this room has eight other chairs just like it. Could this be where the others hang out? It is a possibility given that there are 9 of them. Well, that doesn't matter now, all that matters is that I'm done working for these liars.

I went ahead and walked towards Nikki. She gives me a wave and says...

"Hello Alex, is there something you need?"

Choices:

1. Is there a reason why you kept looking at me whenever we were off missions?

1. I wanna know about you.

2. How did you manage to find our full human spirits again?

3. Could you tell what this place is?

4. What are your thoughts on Silver?

5. I am ready to leave this place and head out to the world.

6. I'll be going now.

This caught her off guard a bit. "Oh...so you noticed...Well, to be completely honest with you, I saw that your soul wasn't like anything I have seen before."

"My soul?" I asked her.

She gives me a nod, "Yes you see, almost all of the souls of the organization are filled with anger and hate...I said almost all because of your friend, Cliff or Number VIII." She was right, Cliff was different from the rest of the group. He was more of a supporter rather than a member of the organization. Cliff was a 18 year old Enigma with long dark purple hair with a couple of spikes sticking out. He became friends with me because of how I would always exclude myself from the rest of the group. It was quite nice to know that there are Enigmas like him around. After I finished a mission, we would always secretly take some fudge sickles from a local mart and eat them together while looking over Equestria in all of it's beauty. He told me that sometimes I made him feel like he had a heart...and that's why we are gonna stay friends forever.  "This is what the organization strives on and I don't like it one bit."

"Y'now, this makes me wonder...Why exactly did you join the organization if you knew what these people were like?" I asked her

"To answer your question, it was because of what all Enigmas want, a heart...to exist again." She answers, "But the way the organization sees the solution was wrong and the fact that they deceived us was terrible...They told me that we were here because we were trying to find a way to peacefully solve our problem. I had to make sure that this wasn't a lie, so I played along. Little did I know that I would be here for a long time. But when me and you went on our first mission together, I saw something in you that was different from the others. Your soul was filled with justice and harmony. That is why I was looking at you, and that is why I can trust you right now."

"Do you have more questions for me?"

Choices:

1. I wanna know about you.

1. How did you manage to find our full human spirits again?

2. Could you tell what this place is?

3. What are your thoughts on Silver?

4. I am ready to leave this place and head out to the world.

5. I'll be going now.

"I really don't think you would be interested in my story since I don't remember much. My name is Nikki Monari, an Enigma who's original form died at the age of 15 and that's all I remember. Sorry I can't tell you much."

"Do you have more questions for me?"

Choices:

1. How did you manage to find our full human spirits again?

1. Could you tell what this place is?

2. What are your thoughts on Silver?

3. I am ready to leave this place and head out to the world.

4. I'll be going now.

"Actually, I didn't find them. They found us." This surprised me. How could my old self find me here?

"How is that possible? I mean, when we were killed, our forms were turned into Inverted and then what we are now were born." I said.

"Since me and you both had the intentions of solving this situations using peaceful manners, the light inside our original forms over came the turning of an Inverted and went to find us...and you're already in yours as you know. You will be able to see what I look like once we depart to Equestria."

"Do you have more questions for me?"

Choices:

1. Could you tell what this place is?

1. What are your thoughts on Silver?

2. I am ready to leave this place and head out to the world.

3. I'll be going now.

"This place is where Number I holds the important meetings with the other members of the organization." This made me curious.

"Then how come I was never brought to this place before? And how do you know about it?" I ask her.

"You were never brought here since Number I didn't want you to hear the truth about what the organization was planning to do with Equestria. As to how I got this information and how I know about this place, this is where the organization welcomed me as one of their own. You weren't there for obvious reasons, but it doesn't matter now."

"Do you have more questions for me?"

Choices:

1. What are your thoughts on Silver?

1. I am ready to leave this place and head out to the world.

2. I'll be going now.

"He is a really sweet stallion with a broken heart. I feel sorry what he has been through..." She closes her eyes and lowers her head.

"So you've heard what I've been doing for the past 15 years then." I said to her.

She looks up and nod her head, "From what I have gathered, Silver Bliss was raised without the aid or support of his parents and grew up with a life full of hatred. He never wanted to engage in social activities due to his troubled past. But now he is by our side...and I have to say, you did a great job at changing his perception of life." She smiles at me, "Thank you for doing this Alex."

I gave a light chuckle and scratched the back of my head, "No problem."

"Do you have more questions for me?"

Choices:

1. I am ready to leave this place and head out to the world.

1. I'll be going now.

"Are you sure you are ready to go?" she asks me, "Once we leave this place, we aren't coming back for a while."

Choices:

1. Yes, I am ready.

1. On second thought...I need more time.

(Song End)

Silver noticed how we were getting ready to go, so he jumped off the chair and came towards us. "I'm ready when you guys are." He says to Nikki and I.

"There is one thing you need to know before we go." Nikki tells me which caused me to give her a curious look. "When we go back, we will have no memories of this place and they will be filled in with new memories to ensure that our minds won't be destroyed." Oh no... "And Alex...I understand that you've had a strong friendship with Number VIII, Cliff...I'm sorry..."

"W-Wait! Can't Cliff come with us? Please!" I said begging her to bring Cliff here.

"It's too risky Alex...I'm so sorry..." She then gives me hug as tears start to flow down my cheeks. Soon, Silver pulls into the hug too. "I'll do whatever I can to give you the friendship and love that Cliff would give you." Nikki says. "Yeah, me too. After all...I owe you a big one." Silver adds.

"Thank you guys.....I'm so glad that we met each other...will we at least remember each other when we leave?" I ask Nikki.

"Yeah...we will remember each other, but the way we met each other will be completely different...maybe in due time, we will remember everything that has happened here and discover our true identities while in Equestria." She responds.

"Ok...I'm ready..."

"Count me in too!" Silver adds. "Alex, I'm never gonna leave your side. You're the friend that I have been waiting for my whole life. Not under any circumstance will I let this friendship die..."

Words could not describe how happy I was to hear those words. I embraced him while more tears began flowing. "I could say the same thing...I'm so glad to have a heart again..." Nikki just watched us and was smiling at how me and Silver bonded to quickly. After a minute or so, we released the hug and I looked at her. "Ok, we're ready when you are Nikki."

(Song End)

She nods, "Ok, I need to stay calm." I did what I was told as I took a deep breathe. "I will open the portal now..." She opens a dark portal made of various shadows of a deep violet color. "Let's do this!" She yells as she runs and jumps in.

"To a new adventure!" Silver yells as he does the same as Nikki.

I was alone again and said to myself, "To my sanctuary.....back into reality!"

I jump in and the only thing I saw was...darkness...I was falling...forever...and then...I felt light-headed and blacked out...

(3rd Person PoV)

Ryota had just finished looking at the events that occurred in the White Room from his dark magic and he was not pleased. "So...not only has my former son betrayed me...but that foolish girl has been secretly hearing our plans..." Ryota says to himself as he stops the scene. He looks at the eight figures wearing black robes behind him and says, "My people...I have an announcement to make...two of our own kind have gone too far and have betrayed us...I need you all to find and destroy numbers X and XI along a golden maned unicorn that is accompanying them! Failure is not an option!" All of the organization member gave him a bow in response and left. However, among that crowd, there was one Enigma who was unsure if he should do as he was told.....simply because it was his....best friend...

"Alex...why?" he asks himself

(Final Mix Exclusive!)

(PoV: Alex)

Eventually after a while I managed to regain my sense of touch and hearing and I felt as if I had just jumped off a cliff and lived. My back aching real hard, and to add to that , the surface I'm laying on is all rough and rocky.

"Hey y'all! I think he's waking up!" A southern voice yelled out. Well, at least it's nice to know that someone found me.

"Good! Now we can settle this, once and for all! I've been dying to kick this guy's flank after what he put us through!" A rather tomboyish voice called out. Well...they found me...and they want to kill me. I quickly opened my eyes and stoop up and to my surprise, there stood six familiar looking ponies.

"It's good to see that you're up now Alex..." The purple alicorn spoke, "...or should we say...NUMBER X! You lied to us this whole time!" I wanted to say something, but my mouth felt like it was moving on it's own.

"It isn't my fault dammit!" I said, "I wanted to tell you earlier Twilight...I really did, but it wouldn't matter anyway, you would be doing what you are right now! I had no choice to join the organization! It was Ryota's decision! Not mine!" Who is Ryota? What is this "organization"?

The rainbow maned pegasus then flew right in front of me with an angry look on her face. "It doesn't matter if you didn't mean to or not, the fact is that you lied about who you really are and put us in the face of danger just so you could save your girlfriend, Nikki! Guess what mister high and mighty?! You forgot about saving Canterlot when it was being attacked! Now it's nothing more than a big pile of ruble. What do have to say for yourself?" Without any input from me, I took a step back and got into a fighting stance with a vaguely familiar black sword.

"NO! I can't let you do this to me! If it's fight you guys want, then I won't hold back! I'll whatever it takes to get Nikki back!" I said to the girls.

"You leave us no choice Number X...Girls! Let's do this!" The purple alicorn who I called Twilight yelled.

"FOR EQUESTRIA!" The pink earth pony called out

I locked onto one of them to see exactly what I'm dealing with. (Rainbow Dash: 5,600/5,600 HP) You have got to be kidding me...I locked onto another one. (Twilight Sparkle: 4,700/4,700 HP) There is no way I can do this! Before I could even make a move, I was quickly surrounded by all of them.

"Formation!" Twilight called. "Get ready for this..."

"FINAL MEMORY!" They all yelled out as I was now being restrained by a rope made of light. I look up to see that a large whit meteor was heading straight for me.

I yell out before it strikes. "GAAAAHHH!" -999,999 HP

(Song End)

Alex: 0/60 HP

Everything was still dark...until suddenly I was jolted back up by the sound of a familiar girl. "Alex!" She calls out.

Another dream about him.....I got out of my bed, stretched a little bit and called back to the girl "Ok Nikki! Coming!" I ran out of my room and into the living room of my home. Nikki was there waiting for me in her usual cyan colored shirt and short lime colored skirt.

"Can you believe it Alex?" I was clueless.

"Huh?" I said, "What's going on?" Nikki just looked at me as if I were stupid. Then a gray colored unicorn with a astounding golden mane walked inside.

"Today marks our 15th year of when we all met each other!" Silver says filling me in. I understood now.

"What? Really?" I asked. They all gave me a nod. "Wow...so we have been living here in this forest for 15 years now with no one knowing where we are...that's pretty impressive."

"And we owe it all to you Silver!" Nikki adds. Silver's cheeks became rosy. He gives out a nervous chuckle then says...

"Aww...it was nothing guys."

"Nothing? C'mon Silver, this is more than anything we could have imagined! Me and Nikki were at a complete lost to where we were. Then you offered us a home near the forest and ever since then, we have been the best of friends." I said to Silver, making his entire face turn red.

"He he...We've come a long way, haven't we?" Silver says. Me and Nikki just respond to him by giving him a big hug. "I love you guys." he says.

"We love you too, Silver." me and Nikki reply.

(PoV: ???)

I watched as Alex was now with his friends that he was with before he died...It made me angry...he replaced me...after all we've done together

"The Alex that I know is long gone..." I said to myself, "Fine then, I see how it is."
