Power of dream

I woke up again to see myself in the library, with a giant ray of light shinig down upon me. I somehow felt...different, so to speak. I felt more alive, and happy. My face was in pain, so I looked down to find a drop of blood slithering down my face. I wiped off the blood and walked outside the library, pretending that I was never there. I walked into the Grand Hall...with the most unexpected thing in the world, and the ponies were staring at it too.

In the midde of the Grand Hall, was a bright, yet able to see through light. In the middle of that light stood seven familiar beings, each one looking almost like me. They stared down at me, with limitless power in their eyes. They stared at me for a little while longer, then at the ponies. In the middle of the confusion, the seven divine beings floated down. Suddenly, the light faded away, revealing the details. All seven of them had the same skin color, and hair style as me...but the eye color and hair color. The first one I saw had eyes that were blood red, the second had icy blue eyes, the third one had neon green eyes, the fourth had pale blue eyes, the fifth had eyes mixed with turquoise and emerald green, the sixth had eyes that almost seem like gold color, and the sixth one had bright yellow eyes. Their hair was different...the third had black hair, just like mine...only in a darker tone, while the others had, while the first had white hair, the second...silver, the fourth had light blue hair, the fifth...yellow, sixth...orange, and the seventh...gray.

"Do not be alarmed. We do not mean harm to this earth." the first being spoke in a suspiciously calm tone.

"What are these things? And why do they look just like Dream?" Celestia whispered under her breath.

"No...they shouldn't exist." a voice quivered.

Celestia turned around to see Dream, who was down to his knees...crying in confusion and happiness. Celestia slowly walked over to Dream, while the seven entities had their eyes on her.

These beings have more power than  me, my sister, and my most powerful unicorns combined...no, wait...they have the power to match a god, each one of them. Celestia thought grimly.

Celestia eventually realized she was right next to Dream, she lowered her head and whispered to him.

"Dream, do you know about these beings?" Celestia muttered to him.

"...Protectors of Creation." Dream quivered.

"You are right Creator. We are the Protectors of Creation. " the fourth being said.

"Who is Creator?" Celestia whispered to Dream.

"Me...I'm their Creator." he whimpered.

"HOW ARE YOU THEIR CREATOR?!" Luna yelled at him using her royal Canterlot voice.

Dream winced a little, and the seven beings tensed. The one with gold hair snapped his fingers, and an arcane circle appeared right below her.

"You shall not harm Creator in any way." the sixth being said like every word is a threat.

"It's alright Nova...they're friends."  Dream replied.

"Wait, can you tell us who they are?" Celestia said.

Dream cleared his throat.

"The seventh being is Aero, master of the wind and energy. The sixth is Nova, master of fire and explosives. The fifth being is Terra, master of earth and metal. He fourth is Spirit, master of the soul. The third is Anarchy, master of the dark, and poison. The second...is Tundra, master of the ice and water. And the first, is Genesis, master of light and thunder." Dream explained.

"Wait..I saw those fourteen arcane circles when we were unlocking your abilities. Why are these seven beings representing those fourteen elements?"

"Celestia...do you remember the final circle that Twilight unlocked?" Nova questioned.

Celestia reeled back as her said her name, but she forced down her suprise and nodded. Anarchy began to speak.

"That was the seal a therapist forced Creator to make...locking us away. So we were forced to stay dormant, until the time is right. But back then, therapists didn't have this kind of technology back then, so they make their patients create a barrier between reality and fantasy. But when Twilight unlocked the final seal, she unleashed our Creator's inner power."

"The ability to make fantasies of his imagination real." Celestia finished.

Suddenly, the seven divine beings had their eyes opened a little wider.

"New objective from Creator. Create Olympus and the Cygnus solar system." they said in unison. The bright light from earlier started to glow, surrounding them.

"Remember this Creator." Genesis reminded. "Your power now resides with both day and night...you now no longer have limits."

And instantly...they disappeared.

A few minutes ago...

Catalyst was writhing on the bed, in agony. Twilight Sparkle gritted her teeth as she restrained him and attempted scans simultaneously with her magic. Luna walked into the room.

"What is wrong with him Twilight Sparkle?" Luna asked.

"I don't know! He doesn't have any anomalies...internally and externally." Twilight panicked due to the lack of knowledge.

Almost like he just died...he stopped moving, then stood back up, comepletely silent. The two waited, eventually getting a response.

"Sigma Core activated. Beta system...active." Catalyst said dully.

Luna puts a hoof on his back, she asked,

"Are you alright?"

Catalyst shook his head and blinked a few times...then looked at the two in confusion.

"What happened?" he asked them.

"U-uhh...nothing." Luna lied."

Catalyst nodded and simply left.

"Celestia, may I ask you a question?" I asked her.

"Of course Dream, what is it?" she said

"Is imagining considered the same thing as dreaming?" I spoke.

"Yes it is. Both imagining and dreaming are pretty much the same thing." Celestia answered.

Then Celestia came up with another question.

"Tell me...why did those seven beings call you 'Creator' and why are they so powerful?"

Dream sighed and explained.

"Remember they said Twilight unlocked the final seal, and they said that they unlocked my inner power? They were talking about the project Star Child...you know, the project that I'm from. Those seven circles were unlocking my power, and giving back my imagination.

It seems that my power is to create, and use other powers. So, both my mind simultaneously created my Protectors and gave back my imagination. They called me Creator because in my mind, they originated from me. The other reason why they're so powerful is because almost all of their essence is from a god...which in this case, me."

Celestia nodded as she listened intently.

"Anyway, I'll be going to the training grounds." I then started to walk away.

Suddenly, one final question popped into Celestia's head.

"Wait! How did you get into that coma when Luna found you.?!" she shouted to me across the hallway.

I turned around and answered.

"My nervous system was decaying!"

I found myself in the middle of the training grounds, thinking about how my powers should work. Then an idea struck me...let's try thinking about a sword and see if it appears. Since everyone is ignoring me, this shouldn't be hard since I can't work under pressure.

I began to think about an awesome and powerful sword. Suddenly, arcs of light swirled in front of me, catching everyone's attention. A weak blast of wind destroyed and scattered the arcs of light revealing the blade that I thought of.

The blade was floating in midair, waiting for me to grasp it. I reached out and grabbed the hilt, the magic that held it afloat disappeared, but my grip didn't falter. It was amazingly light. I swung the blade, using almost no effort at all.

"Now...what shall I name you?" I asked myself.

"I know, I'll name you...Apollo." I concluded.

The sword immediately gained a light blue lining around the blades, radiating some heat. I got confused and swung the sword at one of the dummies. The dummy was sliced from the torso, then immediately setting on fire. All the ponies gasped as I did something else.

The same ribbons of light swirled around me, then revealing a set of armor with metallic wings on my back.

"Well...this is very impressive." I muttered to myself.

The wings seemed like there were a part of me, responding to my mind by moving. I liked this armor...so I decided to wear it for a while, but I had to contract my wings because the entrance too small. Once I was inside, I spread my metal wings again...that's also when the other ponies inside freaked out and began scrambling away from me. I walked into the Grand Hall, and the same thing happened...except for Celestia, who figured out what I was and began asking.

"Dream, why are you scaring my subjects?"

"Is it really that scary?" I replied.

"Apparently it is." Celestia  sighed.

I was slightly embarrassed so I made the armor and the blade disappear in a flash of light. Suddenly, I saw something in the corner of my eye.

"What is that?" Dream said, pointing to a small plastic bag filled with flour.

Celestia took notice as Dream walked over to the flour on the floor.

"Wait, you shouldn't-" it was too late.

Dream picked up the bag and opened it. He eyed the bag in all directions, but then made the mistake of sniffing it. Dream dropped the bag, then started shaking violently and ended on the floor, with his eyes rolled up and what seemed like urine leaking from his pants, and foam began developing in his mouth.

Twilight walked into the Grand Hall to find him lying down on the floor, with a small bag of white powder next to him. She went closer and levitated the mysterious bag of powder, and began examining it, then looking at Dream...then back at the bag.

" Cocaine." was the first thing that Twilight said.

Twilight used her magic and burned up the bag, with no trace of it whatsoever. Then she levitated Dream and went to the hospital.
