The Darkness Continues

Daniel stood there unsure of what to think as the robots continued to hug him, they saw his as their dad and that was something he was not ready to take on. Annabelle walked up to him and tapped his shoulder trying to get his attention but he did not move in the slightest and the robots also realised this so they broke the hug and no longer looked happy but instead they had a look that was curiosity or worry, Annabelle decided to truly get his attention so she walked a bit off to the side and made a scream that sounded like a terrified one and when she did that Daniel seemed to snap out if his shock and he turned to her direction and rushed right towards in less than a second.

"What's wrong?" But she just had a smile on her face as she looked at her brother and then Daniel realised that she was smiling because he was just standing in shock before and she was able to get his attention with a scream. He turned back to the robots who were looking at him happily, or they looked happy with the way there eyes were, one of them walked up to him.

"Daddy, are you ok?" The voice of this one sounded Female and the voice clearly had concern in it. Daniel still did not know how to respond to this but he decided he would take it slowly.

"Yes I am, just a bit shocked." How could he not feel like that, he just arrived back from helping a friend in a stressful situation to be called a dad by robots that alpha made from his own blood. "I did not expect this, to come back home to hear you call me dad." Daniel decided he should help alpha and make some with no emotions but he would also be nice to his 'children' and make them the 3rd in command. with alpha being 2nd and him and Annabelle being 1st. Now that he was out of his shock as he looked at the bot in from of him he did feel like he had a strange connection with it and it was a nice but creepy feeling at the same time. "Anyway, Alpha I would like it if you could expand the laboratory in size."

"How large do you want it to do?" Daniel thought for a moment and decided he would need multiple things, if this place was to become all in one he would need lots of things made but for now he stayed focused on getting started.

"I don't know the size yet but I need you expand enough to make a factory that will construct more bots. Try and make it so the ones constructed don't have emotions. Its not that I don't like them, I just don't think I can take that much looking up to me like a dad." He whispered that last part to alpha.

"Understood, a factory it is." Daniel snapped his fingers and there was 30 other robots just like the others but these ones had blue eyes rather than green so he could tell them apart for the emotional ones.

"These ones are to help you all." When he made the robots he added a good amount of intelligence in them so they will obey alpha and his children but still have common sense so they wont do things that he did not want. "Alpha, I am counting on you." He turned to his robot kids. "I am also counting on all of you, you don't have to do it if you don't want to so if you want to go around the house and read or watch DVDs then you can, just don't leave the house or answer the door." He was glad to see they were happy but they got a hit to happy as they jumped all over him and he fell over laughing but just when he thought it could not get any weirder Annabelle also jumped on the pile, the moment one of the robot saw her it asked her something.

"If he is out dad and you are his sister, does that make you our auntie?" By the sound of the voice it was a he but now Anabelle seemed to be paralyzed with shock at the thought of that, Daniel just laughed at the look on her face, it was like if she got the biggest chocolate cake in the world and her face was the shock before the happy smile and was frozen in time, when the robot saw this it inverted one of its legs and waved it in front of her face. "Yoo-hoo." That seemed to snap her out of it but she just looked at the bot that was smiling happily at her then she looked at Daniel only to faint when she looked around and saw all the other bots now looking at her with the same half bottom shutter happy green eyes and almost fell of the pile but she was caught by the robot that was right next to her and it lowered her to the ground. "Auntie is funny."

"Alright I need to go, I have something to do." All the robot let out groans of disappointment and got off of Daniel who walked over to his sister and picked her up "I will come back don't worry." With that started to walked out of the lab carrying Annabelle. When he got back to the living room he place her on a couch and snapped his fingers to which a large cotton cover appeared and covered her and a pillow was placed under her head, he also saw that cloths she was wearing were dirty with mud so he made some new cloths that were just like his but only her size and placed them at the arm of the couch at the other side where he hear rested. Daniel decided to try and now make the pocket dimension so he found a wall that was clear enough to have a door in it and focused with his space power. It took him a while but eventually he could feel the barriers of this reality and the void that cut it off to keep it from colliding with the other universes so he altered some of the space there and made another barrier, he made that area of space quite small and then used his power of reality and made a door appear on the wall then connected the pocket dimension with the door. He opened the door and found nothing but darkness so he was successful in making it so all he had to do now was make the door respond only to him and his sister then add thing to the pocket dimension, with a feeling of satisfaction he close the door and stopped his powers, only to feel a sharp stinging pain in his right arm and when he moved his clothing to see what it was he had a giant bleeding cut from his wrist to his elbow. "My body must still need to adapt to the amount of power I use."

He walked over to the sick then put on the water and cleaned his injured arm, after it stopped bleeding he left it to heal which would probably not take long that's to his advanced healing factor so he went to the living room and sat down in a chair. He was now lost, when he first arrived here he always had something to do so it kept him busy but now with nothing to do as everything was done he was unsure of what to do, he did need to get something's from this house and move to ponyville but other than that which he did not need to do right now he had nothing to do so he reflected back on everything that has happened, from his home being destroyed to arriving here, becoming a element of harmony and everything else, he looked at his sister and he realised that the only reason he was not a crying emotional broken wreak after everything that has happened is because his only focus now is to keep her happy and safe like what his parents would have wanted him to do, he would do everything he could to do that and would also keep training  a lot so even the dark sphere that destroyed his world would not be able to touch her. That remained him.

"Noc how can I get to the negative universe?" He was determined to know so when he understands how to fully control all of his powers he could get revenge on King N for what he did to his home, friends and family ,hopefully also earn redemption for failing to protect them.

"Space alteration can let you travel to different universes so you could use that or you could just wait." Daniel wondered what he meant by just wait.

"What do you mean by Just Wait?"

"The sphere that destroyed you're home is searching for you, it does not know where you are but it will find you eventually." Daniel still needed one more bit of info.

" How long do I have until it is here?"

"This universe is a good bit away from you're home one so it will take it time to find you're cosmic power again as it will have to fully scan each universe and watch the barriers, also with this world being full of powerful magic it will take it a long time to scan this planet as the magic will disrupt it, when you destroy the sphere you can use it to track where king N is in the negative universe, with all the scanning and watching the barriers as well as the magic disrupting it, it will take it a few thousand years to get here, possibly a hundred thousand." Daniel felt relived as that was no dough plenty of time for him to train.

It has been 2 hours and in that time Daniel had made a few book copies of the ones that he saw at twilight's library appear and place them in a box that he planed to move to a new house in ponyville when he purchased or rented one, he was nervous as he only knew the basocs of taking care of a house but the other things like bills, insurance and everything else, he was still getting taught back at home so that worried him slightly but he would do his best to learn about them. He sat down and took some time to read some of the books he made and learned a good few things like the names and locations of some major towns, cities and holidays that are either celebrated or are done as it is tradition in this world, how the pegusi apparently need magic to fly and how earth ponies are better farmed thanks to their magic that gives them a better connection with earth. He had also made another door on one of the walls of this house to use to get between this house and the new one he would eventually buy. It was at this point that Annabelle woke up with a yawn.

"Sleep well?" She looked at him and smiled.

"Yeh, I had the same dream I had last night about our first time at the beach together." Daniel remember that during the summer they would normally visit there uncle and he would take them to the beach and let then run around while there mum and dad would also join them there and sometimes would playing the sand with them, she always loved it and the fact that it seemed to be summer in this world it made sense that she would dream of that. "Brother, can we go to the beach sometime?" She looked at Daniel with pleading eyes that looked like she was about to cry, he usually could never say no to this face that she put on when she wanted something.

"I don't know where one is, but I promise you I will find one and take you there sometime." She said smiling at her and she then had a smile that he swore could rival pinkie pies smiles. She then jumped on him and hugged him.

"Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU!!!" Daniel realised something just now, he has not slept in days and he does not feel the slightest bit tired, he made a mirror appear in from of him, pulled down his hoody and looked at his face to find his eyes had dark red circles around them that almost looked like black circles and thanks to the hood keeping the sunlight off of his skin he was almost more white than a cartoon ghost, he almost dropped the mirror in fright when he seen his face as he looked like someone you would see in a horror movie as the killer, but he did not care about that now so he made the mirror disappear, put his hood back up and turned to his sister, he was about to tell her to go to one of the bedroom and get changed but she spoke first.

"Brother, are you ok. You looked stressed, perhaps tired, or both?" Daniel heard and saw her concern for him but he would find a way passed how he looked in the future, for now he and his sister should be heading back to ponyville.

"No need to worry about it. Now before we go back you should get changed, those cloths are muddy." Annabelle looked at her cloths and saw that they were dirty so taking the one Daniel made for he she went upstairs to a room of her choice and got changed. She later cam down the stairs wearing the dark hoodie purple jeans and white shoes that was put out for her and they looked quite good on her. "They look nice on you. Alright lets go back to ponyville." He still was not used to the silly names yet but never the less he and Annabelle went outside and he used his powers to take flight towards ponyville still carrying the box of books. As they got close to ponyville Daniel lowered then on the edge of the forest and changed them back to there pony forms and went to twilight's library to drop the stuff off, he knocked on the door when he was at the library door and waited for a few seconds for twilight to answer.

"Hello? Cosmos, Strawberry, you're both back." She said with a smile.

"Yeh we are, can I drop this stuff off, I am going to head to applejacks."

"Yes you can. You two took quite a bit of time to get back to you're house in the everfree." As Daniel thought back to before he left for his house, after the crazy stuff over the tickets, it was night time but it turned night not long ago then so by the time his sister fell asleep in the dog tunnels it must have been still under midnight so then he returned to his house and she fainted after discovering she is a auntie and then the trip back to ponyville, so it was still in the morning apparently but close to afternoon.

"Sorry about that, but we are back now." He said as he place the box down on the floor at the side of the staircase, twilight now saw that him and Annabelle were wearing the same cloths, not just the same kind but also same colour.

"How am I going to tell you two apart now that you're cloths are the same?" Daniel looked at his sister who was looking at him for a answer too, it was then a cheeky idea popped in his head and he had a grin on his face.

"If you want to find my sister just look for the shrimp." While Twilight seemed to chuckle at that Annabelle just had a unamused look on her face and said Hey when he sais that about her. "You know I am just fooling around sis." Annabelle looked at twilight.

"If you want to find my brother then just follow the screams." Daniel looked down at Annabelle who was also looking at him in the eyes, both looked like they were about to start arguing but instead they chuckled after a few seconds or glaring at each other.

"Well, I will be heading to applejacks now, strawberry, you take care now ok?" She just nodded at him and he left for applejacks.

A few days have passed since Daniel started working at applejacks and in that time he has not only managed to make a lot of bits from working there and making some himself with reality alteration but has also learned to control his strength as he needed to watch how hard he kicked the trees. He managed to rent a house out in that amount of time and made a door in the basement that went to his other house in the everfree so now the 2 houses were connected, that had lead to some problems as he could barely hear when the door of the ponyville hose was getting chapped if he was in the lad or training outside so he asked alpha to install a buzzer in his everfree house that would go off if someone was at the ponyville house door and alpha had the normal bots construct it within just a few minutes. When he had nothing to do at all he would head to his everfree house and train outside in the forest, he had learned more about controlling time and could now trap things in time loops but it was only temporary and the larger the mass of the target the faster the time loop would wear off, he also learned how to add flavour to food but as he tried he found out he could also replace on flavour with another and he had a few ideas of jokes to pull using this power, for him it was a trip to learn this as the first time he tried it, it backfired and turned his hair bacon flavoured which he quickly removed.

He had managed to make some grasslands, waterfalls, trees and flowers in the pocket dimension and while they would normally die as there is no sunlight there yet they did not as time was not a thing there so they remained in the same way. The thing he is currently learning is genetic alteration as he is hoping to discover how to remove and re-add the radiation within him and his sister, while that means that magic will have a effect on them when it is removed it would also make then stand out less from the normal ponies and he could also learn to do magic to fit in more if the radiation was removed, he would teach his sister magic too once he learned some but the fact she chose a pegusi and not a unicorn meant she would not be able to use the magic in public.

As for how his job for applejack went, it was almost the same way done every day he worked there, he would arrive in the morning and work until late in the afternoon, the days that he had off he would read, train some more or check up on the laboratory which so far was going great as the factory was completed, the lab had now expanded to almost ten times its previous size but he had planes for it to be larger than that. Construction of more machines to scan and dig for resources like steel, iron and gold was almost complete and his robot kids were having a blast at constructing, the things that they have shown they want to make would have had the same functions as what was planned but just a different look, like the time they wanted the robot construction factory to be in the shape of a giant cake.

He had alpha currently making up designs for a machine he would help make, a machine that is able to alter reality to a extent and its function would be to create the resources needed so that the digging for them could stop.

He and Annabelle stayed at twilight's house for about 3 days before he was able to rent out a house, he has kept the large amount of bits he made with his powers hidden for a few days and is planning to buy the house fully in a few more days.

Today would normally be a day he would work but applejack said that he should take today off which surprised him as she had never done this before so he was on his way to see if there was something wrong because earlier today she stopped a herd of stampeding cows that were running through the town and she did not seem like herself when she turned up to collect a trophy at the town hall, he asked twilight and the others if they knew what was wrong and they did not so now Daniel and twilight were going to applejack farm to check on her. Annabelle was back in the lab getting taught this worlds history from alpha that he leaned from some books that a few of his robot kids got from around the house and would read them either until they were done reading or they got board of it, alpha would speed read it the books and store their information which is why he is teaching Daniel sister.

As they approached the farm they saw applejack still kicking trees but at the same time she seemed to have trouble staying awake, she kicked over a apple bucket rather than hit the tree she said whoops when that happened, Daniel could tell something was wrong.

"What on Earth is that pony doing? Hey applejack!" Twilight continued to call her name but she did not move as she was sleeping on the spot, Twilight tried to teleport to applejack and when Daniel saw this he stepped to the side to he would not interfere, she was having difficulty charging her magic up but after a few seconds she managed to do it and when she reappeared in front of applejack she seemed to have trouble keeping her balance but got it back and looked at applejack before shouting again. "APPLEJACK!!!" That woke her up.

"Howdy twilight." she said with her eyes half closed that showed she was very tired.

"What is all this?"

"It's applebuck season." Applejack walked passed twilight who just teleported in front of her again after she kicked another tree.

"Apple what season?" Daniel was curious about this too if it was making applejack overwork herself.

"It's what the apple family calls harvesting time." She walked passed twilight who yet again teleported in front of her.

"Gather all tha apples from tha trees so we can sell'em."

"But, why are you doing it all alone?"

"Cuz big Macintosh her em'self."

"What about all those relatives I met when I first came to ponyville? Can't they help?"

"They wer just here fer the apple family reunion, they actual live all over equestria and ar busy harvistin their own orchards. So ahme on mah own." Twilight teleported in front of her yet again and Daniel was actually starting to get annoyed about that, using something like teleport to just get less than 5 steps away. Applejack stopped and looked at her. "Which means ah should realy get back ta work." She just stood there looking at her until applejack spoke again. "ahem hint hint, get back to work."

"Fine." She moved to the side but applejack stood in place and looked like she was having trouble with her balance.

"Could you step aside twilight?" Daniel poke this time.

"Applejack, she has stepped aside." Applejack looked at Daniel but as he looked back at her he head was shaking. She then shook her head quickly.

"Don't none ah you six worry nothing imma just fine n dandy." Daniel looked around to only see him and twilight here besides applejack so now he was starting to get worried for her. She tried to kick another tree but could not as she was not close enough and almost fell over. Twilight appeared in front of her again.

"Do you want some help?"

"HELP? No Way. No How." She shook her head in motion that seemed to be prideful.

"But there is now way you can do it all on you're own."

"Is that a challenge?" She asked with one huge eyes staring at twilight.

"Um, no."

"Well im gonna prove to you, that ah can do it. Now if you'll excuse me, a've got apples to buck." Daniel and twilight could tell this would end in disaster if she tried to do all of it alone but her pride seemed to refuse help that was offered to her.

"Applejack, asking for help is not shameful and neither does it make you weak." He tried to get he to come to her senses but she did not listen.

"Ah said ah don't need any help!!!" She shouted at Daniel, he was about to say something else to het but twilight tapped his shoulder and shook her head when he turned to look at her which meant to leave her.

"Very well applejack, but don't say we did not offer it to you." He shook his head then he and twilight started to walk away from the farm. "I am going to head back home twilight, if you get word of applejack getting worse will you let me know?"

"Certainly Cosmos." She said with a smile before looking back at the farm with a look of worry.

Daniel continued towards his new house which was close to sugar cube corner and changed back into his human form when he entered, he then want into the basement and towards the other door that lead to his everfree home and walked through to find his sister sitting on the couch watching cartoon with her hand in a cookie jar again.

"Again?" He startled Annabelle when he said that and she dropped the jar.

"Don't scare me like that." Daniel was just giggling at her but she looked at him with a unamused look. "Anyway, anything interesting happening today?" Daniel sat down on the chair close by and looked out the window to the forest around them.

"Nothing much but applejack seems to be overworking herself. Something about harvesting."

"Will she be ok?"

"I don't know, she could barely stay awake and she also seemed to have trouble with her seeing properly." Annabelle seemed to be worried about her. He sat there for a few more minutes before he got up and went to the lab but Annabelle stayed in the living room, she still was shocked from becoming a auntie and Daniel was hoping it would not put to much stress on her.

He entered the lab and was greeted by the same robot he was the first time, it looked at him and smiled.

"Welcome back daddy." Daniel still felt strange for them to be calling him that but strange in a nice way that he could not descried. As it said that the others with green eyes stopped what they were doing and looked over to him and smile as well.

"Nice to see all of you again." They all went over to him and him but not in the way they did the first time and he did the same.

"Where is auntie Annabelle?" After one asked that they all looked at him for a answer.

"She is still a bit unsettled about it, just give her some time to get used to it, Now I need to go and see alpha about a few things."

Ever since alpha started to expand the lab it also upgraded itself as it could now go along set pathways to get around the place and it also made more mechanical arms which it controlled that were in different spots around that lad, but most of those arms were in the construction factory but most of the time Alpha was still in the centre of the room which is where Daniel found it.

"Hello alpha." A blue light appeared at the top and a holographic image of himself appeared.

"Greetings Daniel. I take it you are here to help with the machines?"

"Yes I am. But I also have something else in mind." Daniel wanted to show this place to Brago and Thag a soon as he could to show them that he is keeping his promise to them, so he needed to construct another entrance that was both hidden and bigger as Thag could not get through the house door. "I need you to get some bots digging again, I need a entrance to this lab that is about 30 feet for thag to fit through and something to hide it."

"Understood, I will start up plans for its construction soon."

"You said you needed a machine that could alter matter into resources, is that right?"

"Yes it is, while the machine is not technically needed if it was available for use it would save us lots of time."

"Ok, I will find a place to make it." Daniel wondered the lab and found a clear area where there was nothing and thought about a machine that could make any kind of metal and other things that can be used to decorate like rubies, diamonds, sapphires and other things like that but only them as he did not want them making things that were to deadly. He snapped his fingers and a machine appeared in front of him. It was a silver table and there was another machine that was connected to it from the side that went up and it made what looked like a giant laser that was aimed in the centre of the table, it also had wires that seemed to go under the metal floor and connect with the rest of the lab, Daniel went over to it and saw the screen on it that asked what the user wants made, it had just about every metal and kind of jewellery that there could be in alphabetical order, he decided to test it out and when he pressed the option to make steel the lab seemed to go dark for a second before a green beam shot from the laser onto the table and formed a steel ingot.

"It appears the machine takes up a lot of power, I will make plans for the construction of generator before it is put to full use." Daniel thought that was also the best idea and he choose to say and play with his kids while he was here.

A Few minutes later Daniel was actually having a lot of fun playing different board games with his robo children and he just learned he was totally crap at playing scrabble but quite good at monopoly.

"Daddy, why do you keep you're hood up?"

"Because it is comfortable." That was the main reason as he has not taken it down ever scenes he put it up back when nightmare moon arrived but there was also another reason and it was to cover up how his face looked.

"Can you take it down for us?" He looked at them and tried to say he did not want to but he found it difficult.

"Ok. just don't freak out." With that he put his hood down and he hear shrieks of surprise from them when they saw his eyes and the circles around them, when he hear them shriek he put his hood back up.

"Daddy, are you ok? You look awful." Daniel could tell they were worried about him but he did not feel so about himself.

"I'm fine, or if I currently am not then I will be eventually so no need to worry. Anyway I think this will finish it." He moved one of his pieces into the board and placed it in the row of others, his child looked at hit and then at him.

"Daddy, that's not a word." He thought he was one away from completing something in scrabble.

"How do you know?" The robot giggle at his question.

"I know because I have a dictionary installed and it is not a word."

"Oh, damn." The robot moved his square piece into line and made a word complete. Daniel saw that he just lost again and he swore that if this was a cartoon then right now he would have one of those sweat drops on the side of his head.

"I win." As soon as the robot said that a buzzer that he knew all to well went off, it was the alarm to say someone was at his ponyville home door.

"Sorry, but I need to go. I will play some more sometime soon." He headed to His ponyville house changed his form and opened the door to see twilight standing there. "Hi twilight. Something wrong?"

"Nothing is wrong, applejack finale decided to accept help and I ran here to tell you. You want to come along and help." Daniel was ahppy to get word that applejack got some sense in her and agreed to go and help out.

On the way twilight told Daniel of how applejack acted when she was tired and in all that stress, it was one of the things he learned back in his world that all that stress is bad for the body and mind so to know applejack stopped it made him feel a bit better, then he realised he has not settled down from learning his powers and keeping his sister safe and attracted to wonder if he was a hypocrite but then wondered if he was stressing himself out as he still felt normal, he removed that thought from his mind and went on his was with twilight, heading back to help applejack.

"Hey Cosmos, why do you keep you're hood up?" Now twilight got curious about his hood.

"I find it cosy. Like a pillow that is always around you're head." This was the main reason he kept his hood up.

"Do you ever take it down."

"Sometimes but not a lot." He tried to change the subject. "So how did applejack come to her senses?"

"After she collapsed from exhaustion, after she thought she was done but saw all the other tress that were still left."

"She just accepted it after that?"

"Thankfully yes she did, if she kept going who know what else she would have done."

"What did she do?" He got told of how she ended up baking things that make ponies sick which put them ponyville in hospital and a few other things. "Well hopefully she has learned that there are something that cant be done alone." They continued to walk back until they were at applejacks farm and were greeted by the others.

They continued to harvest the apples that were left, the others all did it the way applejack did it by kicking the trees while twilight was using her magic to gather them and a little bit later she was also writing to princess celestia about something but he was to busy to pay much attention to it, Daniel was a little bit lost in thought while doing this. He was wondering what he would do if he could not learn to control all of his powers by the time that the dark sphere was here, as he continued to think about his options he remembered something that NOC told him, that there was the pieces of the first heart and they were scattered around the multiverse, it seemed like a long shot but he decided that he would search for them and remake the first heart if he had not learned to control his powers and the sphere was only two years away from this planet.

"COSMOS!" He heard twilight shout which snapped out of his thought and he looked over to where her voice came from to see all of them around a table with apple juice bottles on it looking at him.

"Sorry about that, my mind tends to wonder."

"Well ya why don't ya tak'a break?" Daniel did not complain, he did not want to look stubborn which might cause problems after the events of today.

"Ah cant thank ya enough fer this help, ah was actin a bit stubborn."

"A bit?" Daniel chuckled when twilight said that.

"Ok, im mighty stubborn. an im awful sorry, now ah know the town gave me the prize pony award, but the real award, is havin you 6 as mah friends." They all took a drink of there apple juice and Daniel though it was quite good.

"That apple bucking sure made me hungry." He heard rainbow dash say.

"And iv got the perfect treat." he hears spike say holding up a tray of half eaten muffins.

"Ewe, spike I threw all those away. Where did you get them?" When Daniel saw the look pinkie gave those muffins he assumed they must have been the muffins that the tired applejack made.

"In the trash." He heard them all simultaneously Ewe at that, they started to walk back home and the sun was setting, Daniel decided to go back home and check on Annabelle. "Just a little nibble? Come on." They all rejected at the same time and said different things which he could not help but giggle at.

"Bye girls, I am heading back to check on my sister."

"Ok See you later." He headed back home.

As Daniel entered his home he locked the door and went to his basement and into his everfree home then changed his form back to human, he did not find Annabelle in the living room so he went to the lab and found her happily playing hungry hippos with his robot kids, it was quite a sight so see, not long ago she was afraid of them but now she was happily playing with them, he stood at the door looking at them playing together until the robot she was playing with saw him and waved to him, to which Annabelle turned around and smile when she saw him, he walked over to her.

"I take it you are having fun?" She looked a little angry.

"I am but I swear they are cheating." She said pointing at the robot.

"They are not cheating, they are just very good at games, you will get better the more you play." Annabelle looked determined.

"I want a rematch." Daniel made a watch appear and looked at the time, it was almost 10:00, so Annabelle should be heading to bed soon, not to mention she probably still has not had dinner.

"You can have a rematch tomorrow, but right now its almost you're bed time sis, Come on, I will make you some waffles." He face brightened up at that and she followed Daniel.

At they got back to the main floor of the house Daniel made five cooked waffles appear on a plate and added flavour to them so they would taste just like real waffles, he handed then to Annabelle who ate them happily, they both sat down on the couch and watched the DvD that was playing which was  the first pirates of the Caribbean.

By the time the movie was over Annabelle was asleep against his shoulder, Daniel thought about the last time he slept which was a long time ago and right now he had nothing to do and he did not was to disturb his sister so he sat there and soon went to sleep as well.

Canterlot

Luna had raise the moon a few minutes ago and was pacing back and forth with something on her mind, for the past few nights there has been a dream of a creature that she has never seen before that stood on 2 legs, had dark hair but light skin with no fur other than on the top of its head, the first time she saw it in the dreamscape it seemed to be wearing some strange clothing, there was some others just like it there too but she could not see what the dream was about clearly as something prevented her from entering it, what she did see what the creature was wearing 2 little bits of clothing that covered its waist but not its legs and another bit of clothing that covered some of its chest and the dream took place at a beach. She found out that if she used he magic to try and enter its dream it would not work and she spent the past few days trying to get into the dream to get a better look at it but so far nothing has worked. However when she used a lot of magic she found out she could enter its dream but she needed to keep using her magic or she would be forced out.

The next time this creature, he or she is asleep luna would look into it, especially when she could not enter it dream without effort but it seemed to have nothing there to stop her. This was rare as sometimes there was those who trained there mind to block off mind magic to which luna sometimes had to do things to get into their dreams but she know how most of those blocks worked and had little to no trouble with them, however for this dreamer there was no blocks, she just had more difficulty than normal to enter its dream and that alone caught her attention.

"It is night time. If I find that dream again I will try and get to know the creature within it if it is not hostile." She made her way to her chambers which she still had trouble finding as this castle was new to her but she ended up finding her room and entered it, she took off her royal gear and entered the dreamscape.

It did not take he long to find the dreamer she has seen so much in the past and was about to try and enter its dream when a scream caught her attention, she looked to the side and saw what looked like black mist coming from a dream bubble that could not see in as it was clouded with smoke. whoever this dreamer was, they were having a horrible nightmare and luna decided  to help this one out before she went to the other dream. As she prepared to enter it she felt the same thing as she felt when she tried to enter the dream of the creature she has seen for the past few days, she just could not get into it.

"There is another one?" For the past few days there has only been one dream that she could not enter normaly and now there was another, so this dreamer is probably another one of those creatures that luna wants to know more about. She focused her magic and entered the dream but kept her magic flowing as she would be forced out of it if she did not, "I cant fool around." She told herself as she now looked around this dreamworld and the first thing she saw was tall buildings that toward overhead, she seemed to be standing in a alleyway so she took to the sky to get a better view of the place.

When she was high up enough she looked around and saw that she was in a city that was like manehatten or las Pegasus but what caught her attention was something in the distance, she flew closer to get a better look and when she got close enough she saw it was darkness, just darkness that went as far up and to the sides as she could see, she looked down and saw that it was continuing to go forward and everything it touched seemed to glow blue, she went to the ground to get a better look and saw that the blue glowing was things dissolving, fading away into nothingness, she moved away from it and went to try and find the dreamer.

She looked around and found that there was other creatures just like the ones she saw in the other dream, they seemed to be trying to stop the darkness by shingling lights on it but it did not seem to slow it down at all. She continued to look around and saw more of these creatures in something that was made of metal but much smaller than a train and seemed to have no track to go on, as the thing it was in seemed to go out of control in the ice that was on the paths it hit one of them that was smaller than most the other, luna assumed it was a child by the difference in its height, as the metal machine was about to hit luna looked away only to look back after hearing a splatting sound to see that the little one ended up smashed against a wall and what looked like its brain was across the glass in the front of the machine.

Luna had just witness the death of a young one, sure it was in a dream but still to see it left her shocked. She heard a dooming noise closer to the darkness that was approaching so she went closer and she found more of these creatures that were next to some more metal machines but were white and seemed to have red and blue lights coming off the top of them and they were all wearing the same uniforms. They were holding little metal devices in there hands that were aimed at the darkness and seemed to both make a small flash and make a boom sound every time it was used. After a few seconds of trying to stop it they turned and ran when it was close to them but one of them tripped up on the ice and was consumed by the darkness, luna saw its skin, organs and bones disintegrate all the while it was screaming until it was silenced when it was fully disintegrated.

Luna wonder why a creature would be dreaming of something as awful as this. She could feel her magic running out and spent no more time exploring, she took of to find the dreamer and soon found it flying in the sky just like her carrying a younger one with it. She continued to follow it until it set the young one down somewhere far away from the approaching void.

"Wh-what's happening?" The young one sounded like a girl and like she was crying.

"I Don't want you to freak out, just relax, I will get you through this." The older one sounded male and seemed to be wearing a large coat which it took of and gave to the female. "Here, You should say warm." It wrapped her in it.

"But Daniel, what about you?"

"Don't worry about me Annabelle, I will be fine."

"How touching, but also sickening." Luna heard another voice that was from behind the male creature and it to sounded male, when she looked in its direction she was a large bipedal figure but seemed to be in a purple must that was all around its body, it was not like the shadow creature ones from the everfree and this mist did not go off its body but rather staying on its skin and covered it, it was about 70 feet tall and had glowing orange eyes. After a few seconds the one who seemed to be called daniel spoke.

"King N?" The purple one nodded at his question.

"Yes I am, and you have something that belongs to me." Daniel's eyes widened and he looked ready to fight.

"I will not give you it." King N only seemed to chuckle.

"You don't have a choice." He opened its hand with the palm facing Daniel and Annabelle, a red beam shot out from it and hit the two to which a scream was heard and the dreamed collapsed.

Luna awoke in her room in shock.

"By my Mother what was that?"
