"Oh hi Luna, how are you doing?" I ask Luna in my dream and think of a little grassland with a picnic blanket and a basket with sandwiches and some water. "and come sit down with me."

"Hi Midnight, I'm fine and thank you." Luna sits down next to me and eats a Sandwich "and how are you?"

"So what brings you to me, just to have a little chat or is there something new?" I sit down as well and eat a sandwich.

"Just to look how you are doing and at day time there aren't many dreams that I can visit and it's my job to look after the dreams of the ponys." Luna looks towards me with a smile and eats another sandwich and we started to talk about what happened in the last couple of days, Luna talked about what happened in Canterlot, I told Luna about what happened here in the crystal Empire and that I found one of my old squad members, Midday Sword, who is, by the way, a fighting maniac.

"So how is it to find someone of your old squad?" Luna asks me.

"It's nice, if he is here then somewhere in Equestria should be my sister too," I say to Luna with hope in my eyes.

"Oh a picnic, so am I invited too?" I hear a familiar voice behind me from a mountain coming out of a cave.

"Right, we share a body and a mind, so we share dreams too, sure come and join us Cos," I say to Cos, who is in the cave. Now a very big head comes out of the cave and a giant dragon follows. Around 10 meters high and 30-meter long dragon with dark black scales has a blue pony eye on the left and a red dragon eye on the right and a tail which looks like a spear with barb and it looks like it's hard as nothing else. "Is that how you looked before we became one?" Luna and I look very surprised by the appearance of Cos.

"Yeah that was how I looked before I met your old queen, but let that aside," Cos says and lays his neck behind me and the head next to me and we talked awhile.

At a little moment Cos lifts his head and says "Well I go now, I need to look after something." and he goes back into the cave.

Luna and I talked and relaxed a bit more until she says "I need to go to and you have 30mins till 20:00 So have a good night."

"OK have a good night too, See ya," I say and Luna leaves my dream and I relaxed until I wake up.

I wake up only to realize that I am already standing and that I am already fully equipped and in front of me is Midday Sword tied up gagged and his horn has three magic restriction rings around it. "Ähm... COS WHAT IN TARTARUS NAME IS GOING ON HERE!"

"Oh it's already 20:00? Well, he wanted to kill you in your rest and I defended you, captured him and tied him up like that. Just now I wanted to put the armor off and get back into bed, but he was very strong I even needed to do a little trick." Cos explains.

"Wait a sec, you wanted to kill me but we were teammates. WHY DO YOU WANT TO KILL ME?!" I smack Midday Sword with my hoof and take off his gag with my magic.

"I never liked you, you were the reason that I can never hear my sisters voice again, and now you were alone and somehow got this curse on you, it was the perfect timing, but then your little friend here stopped me before I could kill you. I swear if I ever get the chance again to kill you I will do it." Midday Sword explains I put the gag back on Midday Sword and want to leave my room and look for the two guards in front of my room.

As I look for the guards I see them but they are a bit in a bad shape, this Midday Sword had killed them, cut off their legs, their ears, stab their eyes and decapitated them. It is a bloody mess in front of my room. I look around and see how Flash walks in my direction and then as he sees the blood he runs to me "What happened here? Is everything fine with you?"

"I am fine but what happened here should Cos explain to you," I say and give Cos control.

"So what happened here was like this, Shieldie, Luna and I were having a picnic in the dream world, while in the dream world I felt something dangerous coming near the room, so I left the dream world took control of Shieldie's body and magic, put on the armor and did a little trick. After I was finished I walked to the door and at that moment the door opened and our little friend Midday Sword get in and just started to attack me and I defended Shieldie. After a long fight, I could knock him out, ran to the next guard and asked him for bonds to tie him up, gag him and restrict his magic so that Shieldie can ask him a few questions." Cos tells us the story.

"I see, Flash can you do me a favor?" I take back the control.

"Sure, what is it?" Flash says.

"Can you tell Shining armor that I needed to kill Midday Sword in action so that there will be no problems? and before you ask, yes I need to kill him, now I know who he is." I say to flash walking back into the room.

"I will do that but please make it quick." Flash says "I will send some ponys who will clean this up I will be in the dining room after I told Shining Armor." and Flash leaves

Back in the room, I walk towards Midday Sword, "So you are the brother of the princess that I killed as she tortured my sister and operated her wings on and even tried to kill her and if I didn't stop her. My sister would be dead at that very moment. But be happy you will meet your sister again." I hold the grip of my black katana "It was nice to have you as a squad member and as a friend but now you destroyed everything, sayonara." And I slash lightning fast and cut his head off.

"I hope you don't take it too hard to yourself, It-" I interrupt Cos.

"Sorry but I know that it is not my fault, and thanks." I say to Cos.

"Come let us get something to eat and I think we should go back to Canterlot." Cos says to me and I feel like he wraps a wing around me.

"Yeah let's eat something and then I will tell that to Shining Armor if he is awake." And I leave the room and walk to the dining room.

I enter the dining room and see how three ponys are waiting for me. "Oh good evening to you three, Shining Armor, Cadence, Flash."

"Good evening Midnight, We heard what happened before you woke up if you need anyone to talk to just say it," Cadence says

"Thanks, I appreciate that, but I have to tell you, I will go back to Canterlot this night, now I need a bit time to calm down in my home in Canterlot, where I can relax a bit," I explain to the three of them.

"I think we understand, then have a nice meal and a nice trip back home." Shining Armor says and all three are leaving me alone, I sit down a mare comes and brings me something to eat and to drink.

After I finished my meal the mare comes again takes the dishes and leaves me and I go back to my room to pack my things and go home. As I go to my room I see a group of ponys, mares, and stallions who are cleaning the hallway and in my room. "Ähm... excuse me, can I get into my room to get my things?"

"Sure, just go the way that is clean already." a mare says, I go into my room and take my cape off put my things in the bag, the bag on my back and the cape back on and leave the room again.

I walk down the hallway through the castle and go to the main door. "So you will not use your teleport to go home?"

"No I want to take the train home." I say to Cos and want to leave the castle as I hear a voice behind me.

"So have a nice trip and get home safe." I turn around and see Cadence behind me.

"Thanks for everything princess," I say with a slight bow.

"Your welcome, if you ever want to come here again, just come we will keep a room for you available for your, now have a nice trip back home and a good night," Cadence says with a warm smile on her face.

"Good night to you too," I say with a smile on my face and leave the castle and go to the train station.

At the train station, I see a familiar face that I saw the last time I got here to the train station. "Good evening, a ticket for the next train to Canterlot please."

"Oh it's you again, now tell me why should I sell you a ticket?" the information mare says.

"Well reason one: I am a customer, reason two: I want to go home to the castle of Canterlot to my friends Luna and Celestia, reason three: if you will not. I have decided that I would just take the train and explain this to the staff on the train, go back to prince Shining armor, tell it to the princesses in Canterlot or I just could take you out, take a ticket and dump you in the next trash container and go my way. So what may it be?" I ask the mare.

"Well I take the 10 bits for the train ticket." the mare says.

"Here the bits," I say, getting my ticket and leaving the mare alone, boarding the train and driving back home to canterlot.

On the train I relaxed until the train arrived in canterlot where I got of the train and I headed straight towards the castle, while I walk towards the castle I see a clock tower which shows me that it is already 3:00 in the morning and a few minutes later I am home at the castle. I walk up to the door, open it and enter the castle.

Inside the castle, I see a few guards and I walk to them and say "Good evening guards, could one of you go tell Luna that I am back and if you do please tell her that I need a few days my peace, I need to process something."

"Sure can do, one of the guards says, Ms. Shield." One of the guards says.

"Thank you," I say and leave towards my room. Inside the room, I put my armor on the armor stand, and my katanas on the sword holder.

"So Cos may I see this trick that you did?" I ask Cos curious.

"I can show it to you but only if you are totally sure you want to see that." Cos says, which makes me even more curious.

"Yes I want to see it." I say determined

"Ok but don't say I didn't warn you." Cos says and I give him control and closes the eyes. It took a minute before cos opens the eyes again and goes to the mirror.

"This is the trick," Cos says with a dragon Voice with a pony voice tone inside of it. I look into the mirror and see me a pony but my appearance has changed, now I have a magical horn and two dragon horns, my fur became black shiny scale, my mane still there and normal, but my tail became like the tail of Cus in the dream world, a spear-like tail with barbs and very stable, hard and it feels like it can pierce anything and my front hoves are now like claws and my teeth are as sharp as -when not even sharper than- knives.

"Why didn't you show it to me earlier, I like this, this feels like we are even more one and the same being." I say to Cos being happy like never before, "This feeling is just awesome, but we shouldn't show it to any pony, it could open a conflict. But just in case how can I control it so that I can be in this form?"

"I will teach you that in the next night for now lets go sleeping it's already time." Cos say turning me back into my normal form and I walk to the bed lieing down on it and start sleeping as the cock shows 06:00.
