Chapter 14: The "d-form" training (edited)
Back in the dream world, I think of a lake with a little wooden platform on the middle of a lake with a bridge to it on which is a mat, a table and on the table is a teapot and a teacup, If you sit down and watch over the lake you have a perfect view to the sunset and can relax perfectly.
I walk down the bridge lay down on the mat, drink tea and relax. Until I hear steps from behind me getting closer, I lift my head and turn it around towards the steps and see Luna walking towards me "Sorry if I interrupted your relax time, I just wanted to look if you are fine."
"Good evening Luna, I'm fine, I just need the next few nights a bit time alone, Cos is trying to teach me something if you want we could show you what it is that he wants to teach me," I say to Luna.
"Oh, something new? maybe a new technic?" Luna says.
"Yeah its a new technic, Princess Luna, but I will show it only to you if you really want to see it, I know that not every pony will like or even hate something like that," Cos says over my voice to Luna
"Ok, I will not hate you two, and yes I want to see the technic," Luna says.
"Then Cos let us show Luna our new trick," I say and Cos started the transformation.
After the transformation into our dragon-pony form, Luna just stands there with an open snout.
"This is the new trick we work on so that I can control it and use it myself. I hope that it is not too much for you." I say to Luna with a half dragon, half pony voice fused together.
"Well this is a surprising trick, and I must say it needs time to get accustomed to this form but it's not bad somehow I like it," Luna says with a nice smile.
"Yeah, I understand that," I respond and give Cos the signal to turn us back. "So I am laying back down here and relax, if you want to talk to somebody I think Cos has time." And the mountain with Cosmic's cave appears and Cos signals Luna to go to her and Luna looks with an asking look on her face and walks to Cosmic's cave.
It took a long time, I even fell asleep in the dream world until I slowly awake in the dream world with Luna standing next to me with a blanket, "Oh sorry if I waked you up, you were sleeping so peacefully so I wanted to lay a blanket over you." Luna says wanting to put the blanket away but I stop her with my magic and Luna puts the blanket on me "ok then have a nice relaxing time before your training." Luna says and leaves me alone but for whatever reason, a tear drops down from her face.
I relaxed the rest of the day in the dream world and wake up at 20:00. I stand up and walk to the armor stand "No need for equipment, just go eat something in the dining room, Luna will bring you after your meal to our special training room where we can train without interruption." Cos says and I leave the room without equipment.
Outside of my room, "Good evening you four." I say to the four guards guarding the rooms of Luna and me.
"Good evening Ms. Shield." the four guards say in sync and as always two of the guards and me leave and walk to the dining room.
In the dining room, I see Celestia who just puts two plates with sandwiches on the table "Good evening Midnight Shield, here have some sandwiches."
"Good evening Celestia, thank you for the meal," I say and sit down at one of the plates and start eating and only a few moments later Luna gets into the room.
"Good evening Sister, here a few sandwiches for you," Celestia says and Luna walks to the other plate.
"Good evening Celestia and Midnight," Luna says, sitting down at the other plate and starts eating too.
After a quiet and calm meal, Celestia leaves to go to sleep and Luna started to say: "So Midnight I heard everything that is going on and he asked me to give you two a place to train where no one can interrupt you there, I have a room so come with me I show you that." and Luna walks out of the room and walks a hallway along until we arrived at a door where a few guards stand ready and protecting the door. "Behind this door is a restricted area where only Celestia, these guards, I and now you too are allowed to enter, there are three rooms choose one and do your training, I will leave you two alone," Luna explains and turns around to walk away.
"Thank you, Luna, then we will see us later," I say and walk to the door, as one of the guards signals me to stop and go to him.
"Please stand still so we can identify you as Pony who has the right to go behind this door." the guard says, I stand still and he uses a magic spell on me. "Ok thank you for your cooperation you may now go behind this door." the guard says and another one opens the door.
Behind the door is a hallway with a door on the left, a door on the right and one at the end of the hallway. I walk to the door at the end of the hallway, open the door and enter the room. The room is a big room where is nearly nothing, only a little area and as I entered this little area, it somehow feels like this little area is separated from the rest of the world. "Ok Cos I think we can start now the training"
"Good Shiledie then let's start the training. First I want you to lay down on the ground and then just think of the dragon form that I showed before, just imagine it." Cos says and I do like he says. After a few minutes of imagining the dragon form Cos says "Now try to think about yourself turning into this dragon form." and I think about me turning into the dragon form, but nothing happened. "Concentrate nothing more or less."
It took a very long time even a few hours until even the slightest bit changed and what changed was my teeth only they changed into very sharp and pointy one with them I could tear everything up. "Well, its a good start of the first part. Let's go back and rest for the day again, and get something to eat." Cos say
"Ok, let's take a break for now," I say leaving the room and walk to the dining room eat was, tell Luna about progress and then walk to my room and go to sleep.
From that day on we had the same night circle, wake up go eat something talk with Celestia and Luna, go to the training area to train to transform into the dragon form, eat and go back to sleep, it took a few nights to get any more progress.
It's the fifth night since we started to train the dragon form until now I only could change my teeth. "Oh my, IS THIS HARD," I shout in the training hall.
"Well this is a hard training, just keep calm and try to concentrate on single parts for now," Cos says.
"Ok I try- no I do it," I say and concentrate on teeth and my teeth turn into the dragon forms and as I concentrated onto the horns and a dragon horn appears, which is very much straight, pointy and sharp, and it is left of my pony horn. "Yay I did it another part."
"Yeah you did it but only half of a part, but it is progress," Cos says and I concentrate even more on the Horns. Another few Hours pass by until I get my second dragon horn with my teeth and the other horn. After a few minutes, we decide to stop the training for this night again and work on it the next night.
A few weeks pass by as I nearly get the complete transformation on my own, but this night it gets a bit different.
(a cliffhanger would be very mean right now)
As always I worked on my dragon form as I needed only to turn my fur into dragon scales, I thought of everything else and everything went well and now I just need to transform my fur into scales.
As I think of the scales of my dragon form I started to feel something creeping around my mind. "Cos what is that creeping around my mind?" I ask Cos.
"What do you mean? there is nothing here, just you, your thoughts and me." Cos says.
I stop thinking of my dragon form, so everything that already transformed stayed transformed. "I just felt something creeping around my mind and I don't know what it is." I say to Cos.
"I don't see anything out of the ordinary just you, your mind and me, shall I take a look into your mind?" Cos asks me
"Yes please take a look." I say to Cos.
"Ok I will take a look." Cos says and I feel how he enters my mind and moves through it. It only took a few moments until Cos says something again "Found something, I found some form of a pony here."
"How does it look like?" I ask Cos.
"How the HELL IS THAT POSSIBLE?" Cos shouts "It looks like the queen, somehow she managed to get her mind into your mind." Cos explains.
"To bad that you found me here, and I thought I could manipulate you so you would kill these princesses but now I need to make sure that you can do nothing more since you know of me being here." A new and familiar voice says in my mind.
"Wait since when were you in my mind?" I ask the voice which I recognize as the voice of my old queen who I wished to never hear again.
"since a moment before my time ran out, but more you don't need to know" the queen says. "and now let's begin the recalibration of your mind in a fast way not only at daytime."the queen moves through my mind and started to use some kind of magic.
It started to hurt like nothing else I felt before, I scream in agony and feel how something in my mind forcefully changed. "COS... GET HELP... I CAN'T... HOLD THAT... FOR LONG" I scream to Cos who nodded and Left my mind and disappeared for a few minutes which felt for me like a decade, trying to resist the changes in my mind that the queen wanted to do.
In the pain, I heard a, for me a calming and nice voice coming from behind the door. "MIDNIGHT WHERE ARE YOU?!"
"MID-" I was interrupted by a sudden pain and I could only scream.
The door slams open and Luna, Celestia and a few guards storm into the room and see me squirming on the ground because of the pain "I am back and I got Luna to help us."Cos says in my mind.
"Midnight what is wrong?" Luna says running over to me.
"The old queen has bound her own mind before she died to Midnight's mind and now that we found her she tries to change her mind so that she will be an obedient servant/slave for the queens plans to take over Equestria and to kill all princesses and Midnight is trying to resist her," Cos explains over my mouth.
"I see, Sister come here we need to help her, fast I don't think that her mind can take that for very long," Luna says.
"Yes fast get me in there you go to the dream world and get Twilight and her friends here," Celestia says, Luna activates a spell and Celestia is in my mind fighting with the queen and not much later Twilight and her friends get into my mind too with Luna.
"We are here to help you Midnight," Twilight says and they started to fight with the queen, while they fight in my mind, they did cause pain to at the end it was too much for me and I lost consciousness.
