Synthetic nightmare

Castle of Friendship

The doors to the library opened and revealed Main 6 with Revenant who was sitting in the ball. Twilight put him on the floor. Revenant looked at them and asked:

"So what? Are you gonna kill me?" Everyone looked at each other and Twilight claimed:

"We don't kill anypony-"

"Anyone, correctly."

"Whatever. -anypony even if they are villains. In the worst case, you will be imprisoned in the stone or be sent to the Moon.. or Tartarus." Revenant was remaining silence but then said:

"<Chuckle>. I killed many meatbags in my life. Even tortured them in the most horrible ways. And I will be sent to the Moon for this? You are all so pathetic and miserable." Everyone tried to ignore this insult and Applejack said:

"Okay, girls. It's too late now. I need to go home."

"Yeah, me too." With those words, Main 6 exited the room, leaving Twilight and Revenant alone.

"Hm, seems like you are stuck with me." Twilight looked at the simulacrum and said:

"Not really." With those words, she exited the library. Revenant looked at his arm and began thinking about what he will do next.
'Hm, be some kind of decoration in the garden or park doesn't suit me. I must find a way out of this sphere." Revenant got up on his legs and began punching and pouncing the sphere with his arm but it was useless. Nothing could break this damn ball. Revenant sighed and sat on the floor. Suddenly the book appeared on his legs with a note on it. It said: 'From Twilight.' Revenant threw the note and looked at the book cover. 'History of Equestria'.

"Hm, at least, I will know more about this world." With those words, simulacrum began reading the book. Suddenly the doors opened and Revenant saw Fluttershy who was peeking out from the door. Revenant looked at her and said:

"What do you want meatbag?" Fluttershy slowly approached him and said:

"I just wanted to talk." Revenant put the book near him and said:

"Tell me what you want." She sighed and said:

"I just wanted to say thanks for saving me from those bandits."

"I didn't do this for you. I did it for purpose."

"And what purpose?"

"I needed information about this world because I got there today."

"But why you didn't ask those who caught me?" Revenant remained silent, but then said:

"Let's just say, I have my standards."

"You know, even you are cruel, still I know that there is a piece of good somewhere inside of you."

"Everything inside me is metal, wires, and bolts. So, is that all that you wanted to say? I am just getting bored with you."

Fluttershy sighed, turned around, and exited the room, while Revenant began reading the book. After few hours of reading, he found out about Princesses, Elements of Harmony, Crysalis, Tirek, Sombra, etc. He put away the book and said:

"Hm, seems like those meatbags who captured me have a powerful source of energy in this world. I should find out how to use it to open the portal to my universe. Heh, didn't think that I will miss my skinsuits."

Morning

Twilight yawned and got up from her bed. She turned her head and saw Spike who was still sleeping in his bed. She smiled and firstly headed to the library to check the simulacrum. When she entered the room, she saw that Revenant was just sitting and looking at the floor. Twilight slowly approached him and asked:

"Are you okay?" Revenant lifted his head and said:

"Are you kidding me, right? I am stuck in another goddamn world, in the big yellow ball. Worst of all, soon I will be imprisoned into the stone. How the hell do you think that I am fine!?" Twilight smiled innocently and exited the library. Revenant began thinking: 'I need to find a way to get out of this damn cell. Hm, I read that some villains redeemed after they defeat. Maybe I should pretend like this?' Meanwhile, Twilight entered the kitchen and began cooking breakfast. Suddenly she heard:

"Good morning, egghead!" She yelped, turned around, and saw Rainbow Dash who was smiling and flying in the air.

"Rainbow! Don't scare me like that! I nearly had a heart attack!" shouted Twilight at her friend.

"Pff, relax! That's just a joke!" Twilight rolled her eyes and then asked:

"What are you doing here?"

"Well, I just want to see how are you. Especially when you have a...such guest in your library." Rainbow Dash pointed to the direction of the room. Twilight chuckled and said:

"No worries, Dashie. This spell can hold him for a very long time. Besides, if he even escaped, you would find me in the bedroom dead."

"Don't say that, Twilight. This thing is dangerous. I can't wait for Princess Celestia to imprison it into the stone."

"Well, Princess Celestia said that she will say what we are gonna do to him. By the way, wanna some breakfast?" Rainbow answered by the growl in her stomach. Twilight smirked and said:

"I will take it as 'yes'." Rainbow Dash rolled her eyes and then asked:

"By the way, when did you learn Fluttershy this trick with the magic sphere?" Twilight looked at her friend and said:

"After the last encounters with this alien, I noticed that his spheres have some kind of energy. I didn't have an opportunity to check this more carefully, but I concluded that they contain some sort of energy that can block the magic for a few seconds. So I decided to teach Fluttershy this spell. This creature thought only unicorns can use the magic so we actually just fooled him."

"Ooo, I didn't know you are such a strategist, Twilight."

"It's simple logic. The breakfast is ready." While they were chatting, Twilight already made some sandwiches for yourself and Rainbow Dash. She passed one to pegasi, while she began swallowing the second one.

Meanwhile

The Everfree forest was a very dangerous place in Equestria. But it was much scarier when you went deeper into its heart. Even manticores and timberwolves were scared to go there. Only the bravest or silliest ponies were traveling there for finding mysterious artifacts, treasures, and fame.

ROAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAR

"Apples." The mare adventurer quickly turned around and saw the giant chimera who seemed to be starving for several days and looked determined to catch something for dinner. Mare began running away from this predator, while the latter was chasing her with open mouths. Chimera was faster than a pony and it was slowly approaching her. Mare was losing her stamina and began searching for something which could her. Suddenly the mare flew up and disappeared from the animal's view. The predator began scanning the area with its heads in order to find his meal. It was looking under every rock but found nothing. It grunted angrily and disappeared in the forest to find another prey. After a few minutes, when the footsteps weren't heard, the mare quickly jumped from the high tree and went in the opposite direction. She wiped off the sweat from her forehead and whispered victoriously:

"Take that, little Chimera! You aren't an opponent for Daring Doo!" Mare pulled out her map and tried to find out where she was and how far she went astray. Thankfully her destination wasn't so far. She quickly found a track and continued her path to the place, which was marked on the map with a red cross. While she was walking, she shoved her arm into the bag and pulled out the piece of rock which had a picture on its side.

"If the legends are true, this is piece of puzzle which can lead to the untold treasures."
