Chapter 14: A puzzling situation and tears of realization

Previous ChapterNext Chapter

I ran turning to the left slightly and reached a dead end. I gulped. As I looked behind myself, I saw the ponies approaching me, not normal ponies though.

They had bones showing throughout their bodies and faces. Parts of their bodies such as eyeballs or teeth were missing. I screamed as they ran at me. I screamed and woke up with a sharp jolt.

Rainbow ran down and opened the door,

"Prism are you okay?" I rubbed my head and said,

"J-just a nightmare." Rainbow looked me and walked back out the door.

Rainbow Dash POV

I closed the door and walked down the hall. I sighed and thought, her dreams are prophecies that are about to come true. A nightmare can't be good though. I felt a strange jolt go through me. I ran to a wall. I pressed the wall in the center and it opened up.

Inside were all kinds of weapons from gernades to snipers, flares to swords. I ignored all the weapons and trotted off to a device on the wall next to the swords and knives. I placed my left hoof on it.

"Scan complete," the device said. I opened the door and saw a beautiful indigo and blue stone. It was vibrating. I looked at it like it was crazy. All of a sudden a green light came out of my chest and I sighed. The stone had found a new protector. Still I smiled in relief and closed the wall.

Walking out of the room I saw a note appear before my eyes.

Picking the note up I read;

I'm so sorry but I did something thing terrible. I didn't mean to, but I did it accidentally. Please be expecting a lot of our friends coming tonight, your house is the only safe place we have. Luckily the ones we run from can't fly, even with wings.

Yours truly,

Twilight Sparkle

PS: Don't be afraid of the groaning sounds that come from the ground

I sighed, why did she need to mess with potions.

"EVERYPONY!!! WAKE UP!!!" I yelled this with fear in my voice.

"What's the matter honey?" sighing I told him,

"Apparently, Twilight was doing one of her experiments when it went wrong and blah. But we are going to organize the new places where everypony's going to sleep." I turned around and heard a knock at the door. Cautiously I looked through the peep hole. Relief flowing through my body I opened the door to Twilight and the rest of my friends.

"Hey Twi." She groaned and walked in saying,

"If we're going out there we'll need weapons. Knowing you, there's a stash somewhere." I laughed and told her to sit down.

"Okay we're going to first discuss where everpony's going to sleep. Prism, Cumulus, Fluttershy, Applejack and Lightning are to be sharing Prism's room." I stopped as another knock came. I saw Spitfire, Soarin, Celestia and Luna. Opening the door I welcomed them in.

"Change of plans, Spitfire, you too are going to sleep in Prism's room, along with Lightning, Prism, Cumulus, Fluttershy and Aj."

"Sound like its gonna be cramped but okay!" Spitfire remarked.

"Nope trust me, she has barely anything in that huge room so, it won't be. Twilight can you conjure up five extra beds in her room?"

"Sure?" Twilight did her work and sat back down.

"Okay, Thunder, Soarin, Midnight-" I didn't get to finish as another knock came, I was surprised to see Derpy there along with her earthpony husband, Doctor, I think, but I'll call him by his nickname Time Turner. Dinky and Sparkler were there too.

"Welcome, okay-" I was interrupted as a poof sounded and Discord, Screwball and Zany appeared. With them was Spike. I smiled and let them in. Spike was angry at Twi for leaving him alone in the middle of the apocalypse. My smile wavered,

"Okay, as I was saying, Thunder, Soarin, Midnight, Dawn, Time Turner, Cheese, Comet, Discord, Zany, Winter and Spike will share the twins room." Lightning grumbled something about not messing up her stuff.

"My goodness that's a lot of ponies. In one room!" Time Turner said this in awe.

"Don't worry, there's an extension charm on that room," I caught Twilight looking at me with confusion," Don't ask how because I know Midnight can't do that," I replied to her unspoken question.

"Luna and Celestia will share the guest room at the end of the hallway on the left." Luna smiled,

"I'm glad to see that you've given us the hospitality of your home." I rolled my eyes, at least she was getting better. I continued,

"Okay Dinky, Screwball, Twi, Rarity, Sparkler, Derpy, Pinkie, Scootaloo, Sweetie, Bloom, the tri-pies and I will be sharing a guest room,but now for weapons, Twi, you never really told me what the problem was here."

"I-um may have accidentally turned Cheerilee into a zombie, and then she bit Lyra and she bit Big Mac and he bit-"

"Okay! Okay! I get the gist! Okay let's see."I opened up the wall again. Everypony in the room gasped.

"Okay adults and teenagers get to pick there weapons," I lifted my wing at pinkie and said," No. I will choose who I can trust with grenades."

"Awww." Pinkie sighed and looked around. Every pony turned toward Prism who was glowing in the same green light that left me. She was being pulled toward the stone. She tried to pull back but couldn't. She was being pulled with aggression. She was crying with, what I thought was, pain and fear.

Prism POV

I was being pulled toward a wall so roughly that it hurt. I was trying to fight back until I started crying. Mama ran up to the wall and placed her hoof on a device. The wall opened up and revealed a beautiful stone resting in a robotic chamber. I was suddenly jerked upward and let out a wimper of surprise. As I floated the stone did as well. The stone turned to smoke and went inside of me. With that, my mane earned a few Blue and Indigo highlights. I was brought slowly to the ground. I looked at my mom and said,

"Mama, what was that. One moment I'm strolling around happily, and the next I'm being jerked painfully towards a hidden stone!" My mother hung her head and approached me.

"I'm sorry, it's normally an older princess who earns the part. Well I was the one protecting the stone, before me was Celestia. And now I'm surprised that it chose the youngest princess in Equestria. Yes in about a year, your sister will wake up with a horn in her head and newly learned wisdom as well. You will need to wait about seven more years to grow yours. I'm surprised to say the least but the stone knows what it's doing." I was confused and asked,

"But what about your horn?" I covered my mouth quickly and my hair somehow turned pink with embarrassment. Mama laughed and answered my question,

"Oh I'll show you my horn!" After she said this a bright light flashed through the room. After my eyes recovered, standing in my mother's place was a beautiful Crystal princess with a brand new cutie mark and all. I was shocked and stepped back. This lady chuckled,

"I know what you're thinking. Midnight almost reacted the same way except he was interested in my cutie mark and almost fell down the stairs!" She laughed with delight and Daddy said,

"I told you that we'd never speak of that again!" He grumbled.

"Sorry to interrupt," I heard Thunder and turned," but I believe that we still have a crisis to deal with." Mother turned back into her disguise and said,

"Okay, okay. But seriously. Okay Prism grab a flare gun, Katanas and the machetes. Oh! And put on these on!" I grabbed what she asked me to and sighed putting on the saddle. As soon as the saddle touched my coat a complete suit of armor covered me. The only thing that was uncovered was my eyes. When I talked the inner of my mouth was exposed, but everything else was covered. I looked at mom and said,

"We're not going into war mom. We just need to kill a few zombies and reach the Castle of the two sisters, find the temple and correct the infection. Also, why just swords and a flare gun?" Mama smiled and replied with optimism,

"Honey, we are technically going into war. Oh and I gave you just swords because I've seen you use one unknowingly. You're great with swords and knives. Oh and I need to set up the others before you keep rambling or if I keep it going," she lowered her voice to a whisper," don't tell Pinkie, but I'm trusting you with the grenades. Don't use them when it isn't necessary because the noise will attract the deceased ponies." I shook my head and smiled knowing that Pinkie definitely wouldn't like that she couldn't have grenades. I snuck over and secretly grabbed a medical kit.

Winter POV

I sat in the corner waiting for Dash to give me my weapons. She finally spotted me and trotted over,

"You are to protect Prism at all costs. I know that seems weird, but she is the spirit stone. You must protect her without her finding out what I told you." I nodded and looked at Prism, she smiled at me and I blushed a little bit.

"Are you okay with the task that I've assigned you?" I nodded happily and she gave me a flare gun, medic kit, another pair of those weird saddlebags, throwing knives and a 20- gauge shotshell.

Rainbow POV

"Please all non-winged ponies step through this and you'll have eternal cloud walking ability," I said this and then the unicorns and earthponies lined up.

After a bit I saw Prism in a corner looking at a wall. I walked over and asked,

"You alright?" She turned to face me. I saw glowing white eyes,

"The prophecy is being fulfilled. The prophecy is being fulfilled." She said this so bluntly that it scared me. I got up and backed away. She got up with me and followed, still saying that dratted sentence over and over again.

The others must've noticed because they held Prism back. Yet even the combined strength of all the ponies in the room, she still walked effortlessly.

She stopped and shook her head. The sudden act caused every pony to fling back. Prism turned into Twilight and caught them in her telekinesis. She turned to face me, her eyes back to their normal green.

"Mama, what happened?" I stood there in shock, not knowing what to say, so I told her the truth,

"You hold the prophecy power. It will happen again. You scared me though." She sat and asked,

"What did I do?" I was hesitant but said,

"You had glowing white eyes. You followed me  when I got up and backed away from you. And," I choked and she looked at me in fear,

"What did I do?" I choked out the last sentence,

"You were chanting quietly that the prophecy was being fulfilled." At this I saw her eyes start to water. I had told her of the power and that dreams were the link. I explained to her that the only dreams they had were prophecies. She stared at me with glossy eyes,

"That means that your going to die?" She cried. I stared in shock. Not knowing that that was what she had really dreamed of.

"After y-you lef-ft my-y Ro-oom I h-had dre-eamed th-that yo-u w-were goi-ing to-o d-die-e!" She was wailing! I hugged her tightly and said,

"Don't worry. It won't happen. I'll never leave my family." She cried into my coat. I looked up at Midnight who appeared to be crying as well. He looked at me. I mouthed,

'Don't worry. I'll be fine' but I knew that her dream was real. It was going to happen.
