Power of dream

Ugh...what just happened? Oh wait, I remember the Machine...that horrible Machine. I must've also passed out from fear at the last second. Oh well. My eyes opened automatically to find myself once again in the hospital...and for a moment, I thought that I was back on Earth only for a moment. A few nurses and Catalyst showed up right in front of me, followed by Twilight and Luna. Unfortunately, I think the nurses actually are liking me, occasionally looking at me, give me a faint smile, then returning to work. I get uncomfortable around girls.

"Well, I was actually impressed by what you did." Luna praised me.

"I did what?" I questioned her.

Luna's mouth crashed to the floor, while Catalyst sighed.

"Either way," Catalyst eyed Luna."it was interesting how you have defeated the Machine."

"Uhh...how did I defeat the Machine?" I asked.

"Well, you sort of glowed...then you created a bright light, knocked everypony off their hooves with a blast of wind, and you layed unconscious on the floor. But you did some collateral damage in the Grand Hall,  there were no injuries though." Catalyst said.

"But that's not the reason I am here." he continued."The reason why I am here is because I gained a new ability...and I need you as a subject."

"Whoa whoa whoa. I didn't say I could be your lab rat." I grunted.

"I didn't say that. It's only for a moment." Catalyst spat.

Catalyst approached me as I lied down on the bed. He put his hoof on my chest, and he closed his eyes. His hoof gave off a warm green glow as I watched his face. He smiled for a moment, but was replaced by a grim frown. Once he opened his eyes, he began to talk.

"Well, it seems you have more potential than you look." Catalyst smirked.

I tilted my head.

"What do you mean he has more potential than he looks?" Twilight and Luna said in unison.

Catalyst turned to me and began.

"Remember that Dream is a project known as star Child?"

All three of us nodded.

"Well...it seems when I looked one of his memories... Sorry Dream, the scientists thought that he was a failure. What they didn't know, is that he was a success. They just did not know how to unlock it." he finished.

"Wait...so Dream has abilities, but they're sealed inside him?" Twilight spoke.

Catalyst nodded.

"Well, let's get to work then." Luna said.

Dream hopped off the bed and questioned Catalyst.

"How do you even know that I was a success?"

"One of my new abilities is I can see the DNA structure of living organisms. I can also tell if the structure isn't normal." Catalyst explained.

The group wandered into the library and began searching for books, while Dream sat there and waited.

After a few hours of waiting and searching, Twilight found something.

"Hey! I think I found the book we're looking for!" Twilight cried.

Twilight teleported back to the group, with the book in her magic grasp. The group, stared into the pages as she turned the pages.

"Ah, here it is. Contents of forgotten or mythical magic." Twilight cataloged.

"Uh...what does that exactly mean?" says Dream.

"It means this section of the book contains the details of magic that was either considered a myth, or ones that were forgotten long ago." Twilight summed up.

Twilight flipped through a few more pages and found a different spell. On the top, the page spellPotential.

"This spell can help me figure out what abilities Dream has. It's easy to use and doesn't require lots of energy, so this isn't going to be difficult." Twilight explained.

Twilight's horn glowed immediately as the spell activated. Suddenly, Dream flopped to the floor, unconscious...while the other three were unaffected. Dream's body began to float in midair, as a holographic symbol phased behind him.

Suddenly, seven circles appeared in front of him, with one in the center. Each circle had two sets of color, splitting them in half with the palette, while one of the circles had the same color.

"What are these things?" Twilight began to question.

"These are probably the powers that Dream contain." Luna answered.

Luna approached the orange circle first. She pointed her horn towards the circle, and her horn glowed dark blue.

"Unlock." she whispered.

A bright line of light shot from her horn and touched the orange glowing circle. Once the line of light was gone, two arcane circles replaced the empty circle.

Everyone gasped as they comprehended what their seeing.

"Arcane circles are only used to enhance magic to a certain point." Catalyst then looked at Dream." Then how is this boy able to hold such power without it tearing him apart?"

Luna gulped as she unlocked the second circle, revealing ones that are completely different.

"What are you doing?" a voice spoke behind them.

All three turned around to see Celestia as she observed them, with eyes that could melt steel.

"Umm...were just figuring out a...few things." Luna tried the best she can to look brave.

Celestia just shrugged and continued to spectate. A few more beams of light shot from Luna's horn, and all seven circles were unlocked.

"Fire, explosive, wind, energy, earth, metal, ice, water, soul, dark, poison, thunder, and light." Celestia listed. "Why are these arcane circles here anyway?"

The truth instantly hit her in the head, like a giant block of iron.

"Are these the abilities that Dream has?" she spoke.

Twilight slowly nodded as she continued watching the events unfold.

Suddenly, the fourteen arcane circles went to the center and began to fuse together, then a different circle appeared.

Four life forms detected five yards from Star Child. Please register. a feminine voice echoed from the circle as it glowed.

All four ponies raised their eyebrows as they thought of the word 'register'.

"Oh...I get it now. It means that it requires our identification." Twilight exclaimed.

"My name is Twilight Sparkle...this is Catalyst Blast, Luna, and Celestia." Twilight pointed to each pony in the room.

Life forms registered. Now activating Aegis Core.

The circle suddenly flashed in a bright light, then fading away with a bright blue sphere. The sphere immediately fused into Dream...and he finally woke up. For a few moments, he didn't say anything...then he threw his arms up into the air.

"WOOHOO! I FEEL AWESOME!" Dream screamed at the top of his lungs.

Dream then accidentally launched himself into the air, and crashed through the roof of the library, giving a ray of bright light. Eventually, Dream crashed to the ground, motionless. The four ponies walked over and took a look at him. He seemed to be bleeding from his nose, but Catalyst shrugged it off.

"I'm sure he'll be fine." Catalyst walked away.

The other three pretended to not notice and walked away, whistling and looking ignorant.
