Happenings in Dimensions: Book 2
Out with the old, in with the new
Previous ChapterNext ChapterBack where Twilight and her subjects lay stuck...
Twilight, Sunset Shimmer, and the others stared at the two people in front of them.
" What the hay..? Did Sombra get scared off by these two weirdos?" Rainbow Dash muttered. " And did they say they were royalty? Pssh! That guy there looks more like an aviator and the girl just straight seems like a cross between Lyra and Trixie..."
This was true. The boy with his cap, scarf, and heavy boots did seem like an aviator. The girl with him had Lyra's hair but with green streaks, had a complexion in between Trixie's and Lyra's, and was wearing a purple shirt like Trixie's cape. Her hair was wild and somewhat untidy.
Twilight frowned. " I don't care what they look like. What matters is that they did, whatever it was, have an effect on Sombra. We need their help."
Sunset Shimmer bit her lip. " I don't know. This Crystal Gem girl seems to have Trixie's attitude..."
Looking at Crystal Gem, they saw what she meant. The girl had that glow in her eyes, that glow of eagerness for all things praising her. Twilight just shook her head.
" Still, we need their help. Especially since they're prince and princess."
They walked toward them. Sunset Shimmer was still not quite sure about them.
" Prince of Marelin and princess of Hoofindale? I've never heard of those places, Twilight. All the maps I had to study with Celestia I memorize to this day, and those countries weren't on any of them."
" Give it a break! Whether or not they lied, we need to get their help!" Twilight stressed. " Come on, girls!"
Practically dragging them, she pulled them toward the two people.
The boy turned around and smiled.
" Princess Twilight Sparkle, what a pleasure."
" Hello, Feather Flyer. So, uh--"
" It's the princess! I've heard plenty things about you! You're a wonderful role model!" Crystal Gem interrupted. She shook her hand roughly.
" W-Well! Um, thank you!" Twilight said.
She cleared her throat and continued.
" Thank you for saving us back there. We really appreciate it."
The boy nodded happily.
" No problem. We intend to help you get your friend back as well. You know, I'm finally glad to get to meet the legendary princess Twilight and her Friendship council (basically her friends). We've heard so much about you."
Twilight blinked. "...Legendary..?"
Crystal Gem smiled. " Back where we come from, you and your friends are practically goddesses! We've heard of all your deeds, like the time you turned Discord to stone, and made that wannabe Trixie look like a fool with the fake necklace."
It was funny that she'd be the one to say that.
"Twilight Sparkle! What on earth is going on here?!" a familiar voice cried.
They all turned to see Principal Celestia marching toward her angrily.
" P-Principal Celestia!" Twilight gasped. She sped over to her and looked up at her anxiously.
" Explain what is going on," the woman demanded sternly.
The girl nodded. " Well, you see, we're in a fix and I need somewhere to keep all those people...Can you please let them stay at the school? It's only three days!"
Celestia looked horrified. " No!"
Sunset Shimmer butted in and frowned. " But Principal Celestia, this is a very important matter! She really needs to have these people someplace to stay during the next three days. This could decide the fate of earth!"
"Funny YOU should be saying that, Ms. Shimmer. The first disaster was your fault," the lady said coldly.
Sunset's face paled and she stayed quiet, backing out of the conversation. It was enough that everyone was dumping on her like she was trash and now her principal? She felt worthless and sank behind her friends.
" But please! We NEED them here!" Twilight begged.
After a long debate she finally agreed but as long as they followed certain guidelines.
" No roaming the halls during class time, no wandering off of the school grounds, and absolutely NO MAGIC!!!!" Celestia stressed. " Twilight, you're very lucky that this matter is very serious. Parents have been complaining about there being weird occurrences here and Vice Principal Luna and I have been trying to hide the fact. If anything gets out of hand, this place will get shut down and we'll be out of a teaching license. Please understand that I'm doing this once and only once for you."
And with that she left.
They rallied the pony people into the building and went inside as it became dark. It was time for all the regular students to leave and the saviors sighed.
" Fluttershy's gone now. How are we going to stop Sombra? He said so himself. I can't defeat him without everyone. He took away part of our strength and there's nothing we can do..." Twilight whispered in defeat.
" Not quite. Your Fluttershy may be gone, but our Fluttershy is still here. She can replace the one we've lost," Applejack commented.
" Right! But what do we do to defeat Sombra? We can't risk him hurting Fluttershy. If he does..." Twilight was worried sick.
" Well, we can take care of that. Princess Celestia wanted us to help her solve the problem of disappearing ponies and here they are!" Crystal Gem said to her.
" Just how did you get here?" Applejack asked.
" We were taking a portal from our world to Equestria when this crazy wind sucked us here," Feather Flyer explained. " Not my ideal way of transportation."
" You're from another world?!" the girls gasped.
The Kings' Duo nodded. " Yeah. Our fathers King Roland and King UpperCrest are friends with your princess, Twilight. We help her with many things. Especially when it comes to Sombra."
Twilight paused. " King Roland and King UpperCrest...wait, you're not talking about the kings from that pony's tale, are you?"
" Of course we are. The Tale of the Alicorn Kings is for real, Sparkles!" Crystal said with unmistakable pride.
Twilight's eyes went wide.
" So you're the Kings' Duo?! Oh wow! You're fathers were the ones who nearly destroyed Sombra! So it's true..."
Meanwhile, her friends were not following along. I mean, they are human. How would they know? And Sunset Shimmer was too hurt to think about that.
" So, since we know all about Sombra from our fathers, we'll be your allies. But there is one thing...What Sombra said about you not knowing much about magic is pretty true. We need you to know everything there is to know or your power won't be strong enough to rid of him. The attack we have in mind to defeat him will use all your magical energy and you'll need to be fully trained and focused," the prince said.
" What do you mean the attack will need all my magical energy?" Twilight asked.
Crystal Gem and Feather Flyer smiled.
" What we mean is that we're going to teach you in the next three days how to perform the Succuberus Omega."
Author's Note
Alright, so in my opinion, this is the crappiest chapter so far. I was rushing to get this done because some people were waiting for this story to get updated. Well, today happened to be a snow day so no school for me right now!
Also, I'm going to be releasing a new story later called If she were the sun and her the moon. It'll mainly be focusing on Sunset Shimmer dealing with her depression and how she realizes how hated she is by others. But don't worry. It'll get better as the story progresses.
