The Magic Of Majora

I can't focus..

And it's not because of the ungodly power being formed in front of me. No, its the screaming!

"We cannot die!" The voice continued to repeat that over.. And over.. Just screeching in my non-existent ears. No matter, I just need to figure out-

"We cannot die!" It screeched again.

..Just need to figure out how to get-

"We cannot die!"

Will you shut the fuck up?! I screamed at the voice. I heard my own thoughts echo around a bit, and all I heard after that was silence.. Was it gone? I hope so, my non-existent head was throbbing at the thought of more screeching..

Back to my old problem-

Bam!

My vision was sent careening through a wall, and another.. and- Was that a tree?! Jesus Christ! I was getting dizzy, still not quite used to seeing the world in full Three hundred Sixty degrees and spinning made my head.. Well, spin. I floated/stood back up- still getting used to the clunky movement system this thing has- and noticed the Two from earlier flying in the air above me.

Can everything in this world fly? I'm starting to wonder..

"What is this creation?" The Blue woman, I believe her name was Luna, asked the white one, Celestia. Huh, what creative parents they must have had.. Luna for the moon since her hair resembles the night sky and her fur was dark blue. And Celestia? If she was a boy would her name be Solaris? You cant get any more cliché than this! ..Oh, I'm rambling again.

"I don't know sister, but it doesn't look like its trying to hurt anypony." Celestia said to Luna. Ah.. So they are sisters. That explains so much..

I focused on everything I knew about my god-damned body. I could float, just like the Mask could in the game. I have its stupid dark magic, just like the game.. So does that mean?

Oh.. No no, no more hitting me! I ain't growing tentacles today! I've had enough bullshit to last me a lifetime happen today! Think, what else could it do?

...

I could always..

Would that work? How would it work?

Welp, I've got nothing to lose.. I sure hope I get a second chance at life after this crap.

I slowly floated closer to the Two sisters, keeping my use of magic down to a minimum.. I got to about Three feet in front of them. I noticed, that Celestia seemed to be more curious than anything else. She would probably be the best one to talk to, so I floated there, preparing myself.

"What do you think it want?" Celestia asked her sister. Luna was looking at me with a mix of disgust and wariness. Oh.. How I wish I didn't have to do this!

I willed the Mask to do what I wanted, and it shot towards Luna. All that escaped from her mouth was a surprised "Eep!" as the Mask attached to her face. I heard an faint cry of fear as my 'vision' darkened. I felt the world slip from my perspective, but I also saw it sort of, slow down?

***Luna's Mind***

Huh, I actually felt myself fade in here. I looked around and only saw a faded grey backdrop, with a white floor. Wait, I looked around? I had a neck? I had a head?! Not just a head, I had a body.. Although it was rather ghostly. You know how you used to have those old T.V's? You know how they had those channels with fuzz on them? Yeah, I'm that. Only vaguely human shaped.

"We can give you power, just give us your body." I heard Majora talking.

"No! I don't need more power!" I heard Luna tell it. I started toward them, hopefully nothing stupid-

"Your sister doesn't believe anything you say. We can help you. We can help bring your justice to the world." I heard Majora whisper soothingly into Luna's very mind. I approached them, to see Luna looking down, seemingly contemplating the words it used. I walked over and stood between them.

"What are you doing?" I asked the floating Red snake in front of Luna. Luna jumped slightly at my appearance. Her frown turning to a slight look of worry.

"We are gathering power, power to destroy. It stated, almost like I should know better. And know better I did.. I just wasn't having any of that.

"Nope, not happening." I said flatly. I only now realized I was talking out loud.. With no mouth.. Nope, not getting into this.

"You asked for more power. We are getting it for you. You chose this one as a vessel!" It screeched. Luna covered her ears at the noise. I crossed my arms.

"I Chose her to talk to her! Now, take your Dark Magic bullshit somewhere else!" I growled out, Majora's attitude was already getting on my nerves.

"How dare you!" It screeched, wrapping itself around my neck and torso. "Who are you to tell us what to do?!" It hissed into my ear. Really now? I stood my ground, I knew a power play when I saw one. I may not know a lot about what was going on right now, but I knew one thing for certain.

"Because." I grabbed it by the neck, "I'm the one in control here!" I threw it into the air. It flew up, and swam around like a water snake, before turning back to us with glowing Orange eyes.

"Control.." It hissed out as it faded away.

"Oh man, that was NOT how I wanted this to start.." I muttered to myself. A small cough caught my attention. I turned to see Luna looking at me with a stern face.

"Right.. Well, since this started out swimmingly, I'll start with this then. I mean no harm. I got sent to your world in a different body." I said quickly. Luna blinked owlishly, then sat down on the ground cross-legged. She sighed before looking up at me.

"Continue." She ushered me on. I breathed out a sigh of relief, as I sat in front of her, on my knee's.

"Thank you, I'm really glad your listening. I'll start easy, I'm a human, from another world called Earth. I have no idea where I am,but I do know what I am. I'm an incredibly evil artifact from a game I played as a child. It's known as 'Majora's Mask'." She seemed to perk up at this fact, she even looked like she was fully paying attention now. "This item was used as the games focal point, making you spend all your time trying to beat it. The Mask itself is almost indestructible, and the Magic it possesses is insane." Luna was now staring into my soul through my eyes.

"How do you do it?" She all but whispered her question. I almost didn't hear here, not that it made a difference.

"Do what?" I asked softly. She looked to the ground as she fiddled with the hem of her skirt.

"How do you tell such a malicious power to go away? I watched you do it just now. You talked to it like a foal, yet it didn't do anything. Why?" She asked, her eyes meeting mine again. I smiled.

"Its actually really simple. Things like that require your own fear to power itself. It wants you to fear it, so it digs into your mind and uses what it needs to get deeper. Soon enough, the very thing you didn't want, looks like it's the only thing you want." She looked down again, but I cupped her chin and lifted her face up. "All you have to do is not listen. Just remember, whatever they say, it's all a lie." I saw Luna smile for the first time since I met her, but it was short lived. It seemed like my time here was up. The world we were in was fading into darkness again.

Come to think of it.. I thought I would be able to talk to Celestia through Luna's body. I mean talking to Luna was great and all, but what about-

***Real World***

Bam!

Oh goody, more spinning! I saw the world zip around me, as I rocketed out of the tree line. Jesus.. How hard did she hit me?

"You dare touch my sister?!" Celestia was literally smoldering right now. What is she, a volcano? Her eyes were white, and her rainbow hair was steaming. "I'll send you to Tartarus!" Her voice a snarl. I vaguely saw her horn light up, as I was still trying to get the world to stop tilting at a Ninety degree angle.. Oh wait. I righted my own floating just in time to see a blast of white send me digging a trench into the ground.

I felt it, a rumbling in my new body, as I finally stopped moving again. I could feel my body telling me. I was dangerously close my second stage.

"I swear to god, if you make me sprout tentacles I'll kill myself!" I roar in anger. Celestia stopped mid-flight, and her hair stopped steaming as she looked at me confused.

"What?" She asked

What?

I talked? I talked! Yes, now I just need to-

"Sister stop!" Luna's voice called out. A blur of Blue stopped in front of me, as Luna hovered in front of me. I hovered higher up, so I wasn't staring at her butt, when she grabbed me. She held me close, and looked to her sister. She held out a hand to tell her sister to hold. She looked at me, as she moved me around. "Are you injured?" She asked, a slight bit of worry on her face.

"No." Oh god, my voice was so shrill, I swear its only a few tones lower than Majora's scream. But, at least I can talk. "I'm fine, thanks for worrying though." I said, the Mask's eyes glowing slightly. Luna nodded at me, and turned her attention back to her sister.

"He means no harm, sister. He is an Outsider." She really put an emphasis on that last word. Celestia looked confused, and then her eyes widened.

"Like Starswirl?!" She exclaimed. Her face one of amazement.

I swear Luna felt my confusion, as she looked to me and spoke.

"Starswirl is a magician who almost re-wrote what we thought we knew on 'Magic'. Sadly, he passed away some time ago. He was in a similar position you were in. He once told me that he was from another world. One where magic was but a fairy tale. When he gained his magic, he was a stallion obsessed, and wouldn't stop until he had mastered Magic as a whole. He was close, but time caught up to him in the end." Luna's story got me thinking.

If there was another like me.. Perhaps it's not too far-fetched of an idea that others might come, or already exist here! Maybe one knows a way home. I'd have to save that for the future though. As for right now, I need to figure out this body completely first. Speaking of..

"Um, Luna. You can let me go now." I felt her jump slightly at my comment, as she let go with a slight flush. I floated away from her chest slowly, as she muttered an apology. "So, how do I get back into town? I assume I'm still leaking Dark Magic right?" A mod from the Two sisters was all I got. "And I doubt the people.. Erm, Ponies?" I asked, getting a nod again. "Right, I doubt the ponies in town will like the idea of a Mask pouring out Dark Magic following the princesses through town. Any idea's?" I asked, the Mask's eyes glowing slightly. Celestia was first this time.

"You can go limp, right? Like you did to get in the first time?" She asked, a finger on her chin in thought.

"That was more because I didn't trust myself, but yeah. Why?" It was at this time when I realized that Luna's smile was both cute and sinister at the same time.

***In Town***

Really?

This was their plan?

Luna currently had me in a glowing blue chain of magic. Lightly holding me in the air, so the townsponies could see. I could hear the ponies murmuring to themselves. It was a bit degrading, but I've done a lot today. Might as well add this to the 'bullshit I went through today' list I was now making in my head.. Its a pretty long list.

I was still a bit confused though. If all she wanted was to show the townsponies that I wasn't a threat right now, then why hsve me wrapped up in a-

I was lifted up to Luna's face, where I could see her growing smile. Why was it so evil look-

Ah Christ, she's spinning me! She tossing me around like you would a toy!

And she's laughing! Oh when we get inside I'm going to-

Smack!

She just accidently slapped me into her butt.. In front of everyone. Just the looks on their faces..

Nope, never mind, I'm all set. Please, continue to swing me around. At least I get a nice airbag.
