Rip of the Rift

The Void, I thought as I scurried towards the base that I had built many years before. The Rifts are going to open up again soon! This is terrible! The Void was a mysterious alternate dimension that I had been brought to, and was way different from Equestria. The skies were a purpleish hue, causing the non-lethal waters to be a slight purple as well. The animals were very strange as well, looking similar, but...altered. The shades of the animals 'normal' color (at least normal in Equestria) were darker, and some of the animals had fiery parts. Some of the birds wing membranes were flames matching their plumage, the bears had flaming claws, and the intresting parts were the skin. On rare occurrences I would actually see their skin, which was an evershifting hue of colors. It was a different color with each animal. And the intresting thing was what the Void's Rifts had done to me. I appeared to be human, like the ones I had banished the sirens into, but I still had pony ears and my horn.

As I entered the base, the ground shook. I glanced up nervously, knowing what that meant, despite having not heard it in years. I was the first of a group of different ponies and people to appear in the Void the first time. The Void had given me and the others a mission of sorts, a mission to stop.....something. We never figured out what it was that we were trying to stop, but it was insanely dangerous. We knew that it was trying to get to out of the Void, and wreak havoc on any dimension it could get into. I had only seen it once, and that was enough. Of course, even then, I still didn't fully understand what I was looking at. It was like a whirlwind of oily black gunk, with various animal heads strung together dangling off of what I assume was it's neck. Of course, the scene still frightens me, and I don't really think of it.

Of course, I knew that others were going to be summoned, and had made sure that the base was ready to host them. I had known that others were going to be summoned soon because of...well, I'm not entirely sure why. It came to me in a dream, and all I remember was a feeling of utter happiness and that others were going to be summoned. The base itself was fairly big, with two large levels above ground for rooms, a recreational room, a kitchen, a dinning room, bathrooms, a bathing room, and the entrence room. Of course there were many levels below it, but those weren't useful for me. Not at the moment, anyway. They would be soon. Those levels were filled with wonderful machines and technological devices that I still didn't fully understand. The found shook again, harder this time, and I knew that somepony, or someone was going to appear soon. Very soon. Too soon.
