The Chaos Experiment

As the park spun, nearly half of it being swept up in the psychic vortex created by Uni, who had now become it's epicenter, he could feel himself screaming.

Due to the constant presence of an ever echoing voice in his head that drowned out everything around him, he was basically being controlled.

He couldn't even hear his best friend's screaming as he mercilessly tossed her around and around in his little ball of magic.

Every muscle in his body hurt. He could tell it was being used to it's utmost limit, and the fact that his body was not his own at the moment didn't do much to help matters. His sense were being blocked out and overloaded at the same time, which caused unbearable pain.

He screamed and screamed as he felt the pain make it's way up his body and back down multiple times.

Back with the girls, they were blissfully unaware of the commotion occurring around them. Or at least they were. For now.

"I wonder what those two are doing." Sunset said as she looked back toward the direction they had walked off in.

"Oh? Are you possibly...jealous, my dear Sunset?" teased Rarity once again.

"You know that's not it!" Yelled Sunset.

"Uh, ya'll? That's nice and all but, I think there's somethin' ya'll should see."

With that, everyone looked at Apple Jack. She was pointing somewhere off in the distance.

They followed her pointing to the spot she had indicated, only to see a great ball of magic present there. It was tearing up the landscape and creating a vortex around itself.

"What is that?" said Twilight in wonder more than shock.

"I don't know, but it's awesome!" Rainbow Dash yelled in excitement.

"I think it's scary..." Fluttershy said, cowering behind her hair.

"Girls, we have to get there quick!"

"What do you mean? What's happening there?" Rainbow asked, confused.

"That's the direction those two went."

Everyone was shocked at that, having not realized the situation until now.

"What are you all doing? We have to go and see what's happening?"

With that they ran off in the direction of the clearing, following the sphere of magic they all saw.

Back with Uni, he was of course still destroying everything around him without hesitation, but he did not wish to. Some force was -and still is- controlling his mind and body.

'Oh come on, you simply have to remember by now! Oh well, even if you don't, you'll be enough to cause trouble here anyway.'

Suddenly, Uni heard a voice from beyond the sensory control on his mind.

"Uni! Uni, what are you doing?"

It was...Sunset? What is she doing here? When did she get here?

"Please Uni! You have to stop!"

Uni stood up in his mind, where his true self had been locked away for the past ten minutes.

"Sunset! Sunset, i'm here! Help me!"

"Uh-uh-uh..."

Uni froze.

"She can't hear you. So no matter how many times you call out to her, she won't be able to listen."

Uni closed his eyes and sat back down, too afraid that his efforts would be futile to try.

Sunset, on the other hadn, had other plans for her friend. She walked up to the sphere and looked at Uni before saying...

"Uni! Stop this now! What you're doing is wrong! You're hurting your friends!"

Sunset pointed out something that he had not noticed before, and he looked around and saw that it was true. Lemon Zest was floating in a circle around him, tossed up along with the rest in his psychic explosion. He frowned and looked back down at her, sighing.

'I'm sorry.' He thought. 'I can't stop myself.'

Then, Sunset had had enough.

"What about me? I'm your friend aren't I? If you keep this up, you'll hurt me, ya know?"

That woke him up a bit, as he began struggling once more. Even his sense rreturned for a moment, but sadly, all he felt, was pain.

"Aggh! Get out of my head!"

Sunset was shocked. She had gotten through to him somehow.But what was he saying? Get out of his head? She wasn't playing mind games. She was serious. Unless...

"Fight it, Uni! You have to try!"

"I...can't...too...powerful..."

Then something strangely unexpected happened. Sunset went up to the sphere, let it take her in it's vicious embrace, and as everything was brought toward him for a final release of power, she...hugged him?

She hugged him. And she didn't let go. Not until he was completely back to normal.

In the meantime, the force was very...very upset. "No! My precious destruction! All of it! Ruined!"

The two of them floated down on to the ground as the electricity dispersed.

Sunset looked down at Uni, who was now unconscious.

"It's alright now. Everything's fine."

What followed that was a nice period of rest for Uni and his friends. Uni needed to recover from using so much magic, as well as the strain it put on his body. It was all just too much for him.

Sunset and her friends sat near him as he rested in the hospital bed. After the incident with Sunset, Principal Celestia had told them to keep an eye on all magic things going on around school. she was the one to call an ambulance for him and even opted to go along with them.

"I'm the principal. I have to keep an eye on my students." she had said that time.

They were all now just waiting for Uni to awaken, which he soon did after two days, after which he was greeted with the most heartfelt thing he had ever seen.

Sunset almost kissed him, Rarity the same, but refused to get in between, 'the love birds' as she called the two of them.

Apple Jack tipped her hat and put a hand on his shoulder, offering him a sincere "We're all glad you're back, sugar cube." and Rainbow Dash nearly knocked the wind out of him with her 'pat' on the back.

Fluttershy simply smiled at him while Twilight tipped her glasses with another sheepish smile aimed in his direction.

Everything was back to normal, for now.
