Wilby's PoV

OPTIONAL MUSIC

I descended onto the platform, a very different platform. For some reason this platform was completely whited out. Though... it didn't feel empty. I dismissed it for later, I mean what can possibly go wrong! I thought of a place I wanted to go but no door appeared.

"Huh... guess I won't be dismissing this for later." I also just now noticed that I was wearing my clothes when I first entered this world but I didn't really care, they were comfy, though I didn't have my sword or throwing knifes. I began walking around the platform waiting for something to happen but alas, nothing did. "Welp, what does one do in this situation. Maybe Luna is pranking me?"

"This is no prank..." A... voiceless? Words appeared, that I heard inside my head.

I spun around to see that a whited out door appeared. I was confused to what was going on. "Yami?" I called out.

"Proceed..." It appeared again.

'Okaaay... I sort of prefer the words of wisdom than this creepy thing.' I thought before heading towards the door. Once I was close enough, I hesitantly opened it. A blinding light appeared, making me shield my eyes from it. I felt everything around me change instantly, when I opened my eyes back up, I saw that I was in the at the entrance to the Everfree Forest. I turned around to see if Ponyville was behind me though, I saw was white. No buildings, no ponies, no sky, it was all blank.

"I guess I just... follow the path." I ventured into the forest hoping to find whatever it is I'm looking for. "Hell, I don't even know what I'm looking for." I said putting my hands in my pockets, cruising down the path.

After a while, I finally found someting out of the ordinary... well, more out of the ordinary. I found another blank space but it was much smaller. Everything around it was normal, so I wasn't so sure what this was suppose to be. I tried to remember what was on the path in the Everfree. I got closer to investigate further but it suddenly turned all black. I jumped back from the sudden change and stared in awe at it.

Then all of a sudden, it starts to slowly rise, a figure was coming out. Two limbs appeared from the black tar, grabbing onto the floor. A horrific groaning could be heard from it, while a head was trying to form. I backed up as it progressively came out. I turned around to make a run from it, only to see a blank canvas. I turned around toward it to see, that it was fully out of the ground, twitching. I couldn't tell what it possibly was nor did I have time to tell when it came at me with blinding speed.

I was knocked to the ground with it on top of me. It slowly began to stick to me, covering up. I tried with all my force to break free but alas, it was fruitless. Before I was covered up completely I screamed, closing my eyes before it consumed me.

After being completely enclosed in it, it disappeared. I slowly opened my eyes to see that I was on the blank platform again. I got up slowly, enjoying the silence in this place. When I was finally up I noticed that this place feels different now, that it wasn't the same one from before. After I had finally relaxed, another blank door appeared, which made me a bit frightened.

"Proceed..." The words appeared again.

I looked up at nothing in particular, with an angry expression. "Like hell I'm going through another fucking door. I'll just play the waiting game."

"Unfortunately for you..." It paused. The door disappeared and the platform began cracking. "I don't have to wait..." The platform shattered beneath me and I quickly began to plummet.

I crossed my arms, "Pfft, like I care." Then the blank door appeared directly below me, fully opened. "... Fuck yooooooouuuuuuu." Is all I said before going through the door, it closing behind me.

I awoke to see that I was in Ponyville, except it looked like Discord was here. Everything was in complete disarray, houses were upside down, the ground was striped and poke-dotted. I wouldn't have been able to tell that it was Ponyville if it wasn't for Twilight's place. The sky was still blank but at least I had more freedom to move were I wanted to go.

But before I could a completely white form appeared from nowhere and floated down towards me. I could only tell that it had one pair of legs and arms, and a head, it had no distinct features other than those. It was floating above the ground just looking at my direction, it was a few meters away from me. Then just like before, it became shrouded in black and began to twitch, just it twitching freaked me out.

It started to fly towards me, not as fast as before, giving me time to move out of the way. I then did a mental facepalm for forgetting that I have magic. I moved a safe distance from it and raised my hand to fire lightning at him, only nothing came out. In my moment of confusion, it came towards me, placing it's hand on my head. I shut my eyes preparing for the worst but nothing happened. I opened up my eyes to see that it was gone. I looked around to confirm my suspensions but to no avail, it was actually gone.

Suddenly, I began coughing uncontrollably, I brought up my hand to my mouth. When it stopped for a little, I looked at my hand to see that same black tar. My eyes widened and the goo forcibly exited my mouth and onto me. I could feel tears falling, unable to breath, I fell backwards, slowly suffocating. The tar covering me completely, to disappear once more.

STOP MUSIC

I regained consciousness and opened my eyes once more to see a blood stained platform. I got up to see the entire thing, what I saw surprised me a bit. It was a mural of... me, except I wasn't weiding my sword and my hands looked more claw like and my hair was somewhat spiky, I also looked angrier. I was a little off put by it, I also noticed that my side were a little bit heavier. I looked down to see my sword re-equipped, thankfully but no throwing knifes.

I walked forward, wanting to get a better look at the mural and think of a reason why it's like this. I gotten to the face and I just didn't know how to feel. To see myself angered... I always hated to get angry, I felt like a different person when I get mad. I sighed, closing my eyes, I remember the few times I've gotten angry... when I let myself loose. I open my eyes up and quickly spun around to see somebody and not just another one of those damn things. The person was wearing a cloak or to be more specific, the cloak from Organization XIII.

"Who are you?" I asked the person.

"My name doesn't matter..." hearing those words, only with sound this time, telling me it was male. Either way, it put me on edge, to know he was behind those things. "All you should know is that I want to be in control..."

I placed my right hand over my sword in preparation for an attack. "What do you mean?"

"I want to be in control..." He repeated. "I want to be in control... I want to be in control... I want to be in control... I want to be in control..." His eyes then shined yellow and red from under his hood. "I want to be in control..." Is what he said before falling backwards into the abyss.

I was confused as to why he fell backwards but then the entire platform shooked, and then it shooked once more. Something big was coming up. The platform kept shaking until a giant black paw with giant purple claws, came from my left and grabbed hold of the platform.

OPTIONAL MUSIC

Another claw came form the opposite side and finally the head appeared. It was like a lion's head with a pair of purple horns, a fiery purple mane, four tendrils coming from it's back and four pairs of eyes, all the left ones glowing yellow and the right ones glowing red. It reared back and let out an ear-piercing roar, showing that it has a TON of teeth and two snake like tongues.

I pulled out my sword and prepared for battle, it immediately swept a claw at me, to which I jumped back. I then tried to attack it's paw but it quickly moved back. It lashed forward to bite me or in this case, swallow me. I again jumped back to my 'safe area,' I tried attacking him once more but it moved back. We both knew this was going to go nowhere and unfortunately for me I couldn't do anything about it.

It sprouted huge bat-like wings but instead of flying off, it lifted the entire platform and threw it up with me on it. I luckily embedded my sword into the platform and held on for dear life. The beast reappeared and disappeared many times, mostly do to the structure spinning. When the structure finally stopped and began to plummet back down but when the beast came back into view, it had a giant ball of flames forming in it's mouth. It fired it, luckily it didn't hit me spot on but the platform shattered into pieces.

The shattered pieces were all spread out, standing in place, with me on one of them. I was a little hurt from the explosion but nothing too bad. I looked to see the beast flying towards me, seeing this I jumped to the closest piece and continued to jump from piece to piece. The beast flew up to my level and let out another roar. It then began swiping wildly at where I was, I kept jumping from piece to piece thinking of a way to take this thing down. The beast then spun around, it's tail oversized tail hitting me, knocking me away from the shattered pieces.

Luckily for me, a long trail of the platform appeared and 'caught' me. I got up just in time to jump out of the way of the beast biting down. I chose the best plan of action... GTFO. I sheath my sword and put all my energy into running the long trail. The beast lagging behind, eating the trail. Why it didn't just come after me, is beyond me and I don't really care. I kept running, looking back every now and then to see how far back it is. It was very far back until it got fed up with chomping down on the trail, it let a roar and created another ball of fire and released it. Seeing this pushed me to run even faster, though it was plowing right through the trail.

Finally the fireball was just about to hit me, so I pulled my sword out and tried to block the massive ball with my sword. My sword was absorbing it, albeit slowly, until the beast appeared over the fireball and crunched on it causing it to explode. The explosion sent me careening off the trail, only for it to appear once more underneath me as the original platform. I landed hard and I was sure my sword flew off somewhere. I was going to get up, only to be grabbed by it's tendrils, holding onto my limbs. It brought me up to it's mouth, which it opened wide, creating another fireball to end me.

STOP MUSIC

I closed my eyes and awaited my death, only to hear what sounded like magic being fired elsewhere. The magic caused the beast to let go of me and it started to whither away slowly. It was flailing about roaring in pain until it finally disappeared into nothingness and the mural returning to it's original color and pose.

I looked up to see that it was Luna who saved me, not only that but hair was ethereal now. She ran towards me and kneeled down and placed my body onto her lap.

"Are you ok Wilby?" She asked worriedly.

"Y-yeah... just glad you came." I answered her, albeit weakly.

"Just looking out for a friend." She said smiling. "But I must admit, I never seen a nightmare actually hurt somepony, let alone almost killed them."

I began to sit up on my own, "Yeah, at least I hope it was a nightmare."

She gave me a puzzled look, "What do you-" Suddenly the entire place began to shake. "Oh no, you're being woken up. We'll talk tomorrow night." Is all she said before I woke up.

"Wilby!" I heard.

"Wilby!" I slowly began to wake up.

"Wilby!" I heard Twilight say for the third time.

"Ugh, what?" I said sleepily.

"WHO DO I GIVE THE TICKET TO?!" She yelled out.
