Chapter 15

In the dark abysmal plain of the mind two figures stood, one tall, the other short, both hated the other with equal might, matching memory for memory two different lives, but it was clear who the winner would be.

"They are my family!! You cannot ignore this!!" the smaller one yelled.

"This is my family!! those were your family!!" the taller one yelled back, "This is my mind!!! My body!! You no longer belong!!"

"Then I will take it back by force!!" the small one began to assault the bigger one with emotion, logic, memory, and intelligence.

"Perish then!!!" the taller one shot out emotion, logic, memory, and intelligence, the fight for control raging.

One overpowered the other, and the cry came as they lost control, "Just don't forget them!"

~~~

Two eyes opened as the dragon stood, then with much anger, yet kindness, spoke, "You can thank him, for keeping me from attacking you, to invade a Spires' mind, is to declare war on us all."

"I'll keep that in mind next time I do something like that," Celestia smiled, it was clear to her that this was Emerald, " So how are you feeling?"

"That little guy can put up a heck of a fight," Emerald rubbed his head, "But other than that, hungry."

"We can take you to the dining hall, they have plenty to eat there," Twilight suggested.

"Yeah, I wouldn't mind a hayburger," Rainbow said nonchalantly.

"Sounds, tasty," Emerald was unfamiliar with food around here, other than the gems.

"So how does it feel to be back Spikey?" Pinkie bounced next to him.

"I'm Emerald, not Spike, sorry," Emerald said, 'You could at least tell them i'm still here ya know,' Spike said from in Emeralds head.

"Right, you just look like Spike," Pinkie nervously laughed.

"Anyway, what do plan to do now that you're back darling?" Rarity spoke.

"Huh? back?" Emerald hoped they didn't mean what he thought they did.

"Yeah, I am mighty curious what y'all plan ta do now," Applejack asked, "ah mean, sure Ponyville will accept ya, but what would ya do for work?"

Yup, he was afraid they would say that, "I don't plan on staying here," Emerald was internally arguing with Spike as well.

Everyone stopped, "What do you mean?" Twilight asked.

"I still have so many things that I must do in my world," Emerald said, Spike again protested.

"But you don't even belong there," Rainbow pointed a hoof, "You belong here."

"No, Spike belongs here, I have a life, family, and many friends who still wait for me at my home," Emerald turned to Twilight, "Where is the portal you brought me through?"

"You can't thought!" Twilight yelled, "We need you here!"

"And they need me there," Emerald replied, 'Just stay, it's nice here,' Spke had calmed significantly, having seen some of the memories Emerald had.

"How many actually need you there?" Celestia finally spoke up, "I can open a view to see how many of these friends really need you."

"Huh?" Emerald was curious, her horn lit again, this time a window like image opened in front of them, the other side was Yokai, then they changed to the view of his friends, or he thought, since when was Tsukune a girl?

"I wonder if Emerald really was attacked," Female Tsukune tapped her chin.

"So this is how you saw us," Emerald was somewhat enraged, but then had an idea, "This is like the portal you brought me through."

"Yes, it is a dimensional viewing spell," Celestia saw he was smarter than ever, "Yet it is modified so we could bring you here."

"I see," Emerald wasted no more time, with the strength he had, the item he held flew directly through the portal, gone before they could react, "Then my apologies, but I cannot stay, and since you all seem to treat me like a prisoner, I will have to call for aid."

"Why you!" Rainbow lunged at him.

~~~

Tsukie was sitting in her room, the others had discussed how to spend the day, but she was too busy worrying if Emerald was alright, he had been late before, but this wasn't late, this was missing. What was most worrying was the fact that the signal he went to in- Thunk!

"Ow," Tsukie rubbed her head and picked up the item, which happened to be a dark purple scale, well that doesn't hit you everyd-, "Wait, this is... Emeralds!"

Looking around she saw there was nothing, where had it come from? Tsukie tried to figure out where it had come from for a good five minutes, 'Why don't I just ask Huntress?'

"You rang?" Huntress' voice called from the window, startling Tsukie and nearly making her jump a mile.

"But I didn't," Tsukie had no idea how she knew.

"Think of the devil and she shall appear," Huntress smiled innocently.

"It's speak of the devil," Tsukie huffed.

"So whacha need?" Huntress asked.

"I got hit by this scale," She held it up.

"And you want me to find where it came from?" Huntress finished.

"Yeah, since he disappeared," Tsukie handed the scale over.

"Let's see here," Huntress took it and looked it over a few time, each time with a different energy or magic, "This came from another dimension, way too peaceful, not very interesting, could use some chaos, as for getting there, that's up to you," She gave back the scale to Tsukie.

"How am I supposed to get there!?" Tsukie asked as Huntress flipped out the window, "Oh wait, duh."

"Duh what?" another voice reached her ears from the doorway, in it sat Killua.

"Oh, just realized how I can save Emerald," She said, "All I would need to do is disru-... I mean create a dimension cross device."

"Sounds like fun, can I help?" Killua hopped in, Tsukie shrugged and went to work, really what she planned to do was contact the god of Dimensions, they could help her get there.

"Huh," Tsukie stopped and thought for a moment, "This may be harder to achieve than I thought," she had to stall for time, all she needed was to contact them, but that required lots of noticeable energy.

"Why don't I get Josh, this is her thing," Killua jumped for the window, "It's way beyond me."

"Sure sure," once Kilua left Tsukie began to gather the required components to hold a mental call, all while minimizing the area of which it could be sensed, 'Calling all Peruvian Fages, do you read me Fage one?' Tsukie gave a call out to him.

'Huh? what?' the confused reply of the Dimension god came, 'Who is this?'

'Hi! this is Calamity, we met only once before,' Tsukie mentally replied.

'But Calamity is a guy, I remember,' came the response.

'Sorta had an accident involving a weird machine,' Tsukie mentally laughed.

'Oh, sounds about right,' he said, 'So what did you need.'

'A friend of mine seems to have got himself stuck in another dimension, could you please help me get him?' Tsukie asked nicely.

'I usually would, but i'm kinda in the middle of a life or death fight here,' he responded, 'Contact me later, when things settle a bit.'

'Sure, thanks Kirigaya,' Tsukie ended the conversation and mentally hung up.

"Hey, you here Tsukie?" a small familiar voice came from the door, in it stood a male Mako, still cute.

"Hey Mako, been a while," Tsukie invited him in.

"Yeah, the school director called me to talk, and do some work for him," Mako smiled slightly, "But I came to see how my boyf- er, girlfriend is."

"Yeah, i'm alright," Tsukie said, after much mental discussion with herself before the machine, she decided to give Mako a chance.

"That's good, i would hate to-" Mako stopped, in the window were Josh and Killua, both were just watching, smiling like idiots.

"Did we interrupt you two lovebirds? Josh asked, Killua snickered.

"Uh no we were just-" Tsukie was interrupt as they burst out laughing.

"It's alright, we're to fault here," Killua laughed again.

"So I heard something about a dimensional portal?" Josh asked.

"Oh yeah, I need to make one so I can find Emerald," Tsukie refocused.

"Emerald? I thought he's been missing," Josh said.

"He is, in another dimension," Tsukie responded.

"How do you know?" Josh asked, Tsukie then handed her a purple scale, which she examined, "Yup, this is his."

"So can you help me?" Tsukie asked.

"Yeah, but it would require my Tardis, which is missing," Josh said, that put a damper on their spirits.

"Any idea where it could have gone?" Killua asked, Josh just shook her head and sighed.

"Well let's get going and search for her," Josh grabbed Killua and Mako, "You work on a plan should this go wrong."

"Yeah, good luck finding the Tardis," Tsukie had no idea what that was, Time to get started, sparks began to fly.
