Lucid Dream

You are Black Cross, and your friends Emala Jiss, Rainbow Storm, and Tootsie. We live in a pony world. Your mission is to find Wesker and defeat him for his crimes. You will have to fight through the various factions of this world, but you can rest assured that they are all just as bad as Wesker himself.

The first thing you notice is how different everything looks. Something felt different, as you pace around the room of your house when suddenly one of your friends knocks on your door. "Hey! It's me!" you say.

Your friend opens the door and stands there looking at you with wide eyes. "Emala Jiss? What's wrong?"

Emala backs up and nearly falls backwards as she steps into the room. "How did you do that?" she asks.

"Do what? You questioned her if something happened.

"The other day, you said you couldn't knock on doors. I saw you do it..." said Emala.

"That wasn't me..." he says.

"I want to help you! I want to be a Blacksmith too!" she says.

"But aren't you a witch?"

"That doesn't mean I can't do magic!" she says. You look around and think. This would be a lot easier if you had another Blacksmith.

"You don't need to become a Blacksmith, I could assign my buddy Rainbow Storm to do it, but I do need your magic Emala."

"You can't be serious!" she says. She starts to panic a bit and runs for the door of your house.

"I'm serious." You quickly run after her and grab her arm.

"Where are you going? We are suppose to meet up with the others and you're running away??"

"I can't help you, you need a real Blacksmith!" she shouted.

You stop her from leaving as she struggles to get free of your grip.

"We'll get one, but for now let's settle down and have a cup of tea." You have her sit on your couch as you go to the kitchen.

You grab your favorite mug and fill it with water.

You walk up to her to give Emala her cup of tea. Emala notices the mug in your hand and looks at you. She then reaches up to touch your face. "You are a good person." she says.

"So tell me, how is your mother Zophia doing?" said Black Cross.

"Mom's fine, all things considered." she says. She takes a drink of her tea.

You nod and take a drink of your own water.

"Rainbow Storm and Tootsie should be here soon, I know it's been a long time since you've seen them Emala."

She finishes her tea with one more gulp and stands up. "Thank you." she says.

You nod and begin to head out your door. The group are expected to meet up at a library to discuss about their plan to find their nemesis. As you are walking you notice a large house near the entrance to town. It looks very out of place on this otherwise simple street.

You and Emala Jiss walked into the library where Rainbow Storm and Tootsie are inside already looking at a map of the pony world. Rainbow Storm stands up when he sees you walk in. "So, you have decided to help us then?" he asks.
Emala walks in behind you and nods.

"Yes, she's here to help us on our mission." he said.

"Great,so you are her 'Sister' of sorts?" said Rainbow Storm.

"No, we're not siblings. I thought we talked about this? Me and Emala are not related." said Black Cross.

"Ah, yes. Your mixed heritage. Your father was a Traveler, but I seem to remember your mother saying he was human." he says.

"Yeah, well..." there was a pause, "now we're ponies, and we have to live this way... but soon we'll return to the human world back to our normal selves."

"Are you talking about what I think you're talking about?" he says with a chuckle.

"Have you forgotten? When we were reading a book about mythology, the book had magically turned us into ponies, all four of us and now we're here stuck in this pony world." Black Cross explained.

"Oh yes, I had nearly forgotten about that." he says with a laugh.

"Never mind that. What's the status on our mission, did you find any traces where we might find Wesker?"

Rainbow Storm shows direct location on the map where they might find Wesker, their long term nemesis, the person responsible for turning them into ponies. "Well that's good, but I was more wondering if we hadn't missed it, or he had moved. considering this is where all the ponies live now.

You decided to head to bed to ready up for tomorrow as the sun set to twilight. You take one last look at the map before laying it down to go to sleep. You and your friends went to bed that night. As you were laying in bed, Emala had kept close to you as she went under the covers to lay beside you for warmth. "It's getting colder, I'm going to sleep next to you tonight." she says in her native language.

"Well, I guess it's the only place you'd be comfortable sleeping." You reply.

You wrapped your arm around Emala Jiss for comfort and warmth. You wrap your arm around her as she lies to you.

Everything was going to plan, until a loud crash is heard in the middle of the night followed by a voice. "HELP! SOMEONE!"

You woke up to go check it out. You, Emala and all the others in the house got up to investigate the noise. You looked out your window and noticed several alicorns running past, at least three. "Rainbow Dash!"

"Do you need help?" asked Black Cross.

"I'll find him, you go help the others!" said Rainbow Dash.
You nod and run to the waiting room, where the rest of your friends are gathered around a room with a large window.

"What's wrong?" asked Rainbow Storm.

"Rainbow Storm, your mom's in trouble. Go help Rainbow Dash." said Black Cross.

"Will do, but who're you?" said Rainbow Storm, his eyes were still shut after waking up not knowing the situation.
Without another word, you open the window and start to jump.

"What the... wait, hold on!" Emala shouts before you leave.

You and Rainbow Storm helped Rainbow Dash get down from a tree where she was stuck by a branch. You and the alicorn land by the tree and you run over to help her climb down. "Thanks. You're a real life hero, it's always nice to meet another one."

"I try." he says. The alicorn that helped you get Rainbow Dash down from the tree she flew over to you to greet herself.

"I'm Twirláspi, I'll go get help, you go find your friend."

"Got it." he says.

"Oh okay." You nod and continue to walk until you hear a scream. You turn your head to see several mares screaming with a large shadow on top of a building. "Oh... well that's new.."

You teleported on top of a roof to face off the large shadow and casts a beam of light so bright until the shadow fades away. You turn your head to see a rather small shadow on top of a larger building. It's simply jumping from one to the other and casting dark magic bolts that turn the buildings it hits into ash.

You casts a ball of light and blast it at the small shadow until it bursts. You teleport on top of the roof the shadow was on and fire a ball of light directly at it, when it bursts the shadow turns to dust and the shadows on the other building begin to fade away. "Alright!"

You go back to your friends to check on them. You run back to the house and head inside only to find it ransacked. You check the rooms, but there's no-one to be found.

You went back outside and they were standing right beside the tree where they got Rainbow Dash down from that tree earlier. You walk over to them as they seem to be arguing. "He could've died if you wanted him to, you didn't need to go rescue him just for that reason.

"Hey guys, what's going on here?"

"You should've died! That was the deal remember?!" he says.

You raise an eyebrow and look at the one that arrived late to the party. "What?"

"You didn't die!" he shouted.

Rainbow Storm was acting strange, could it be that he was afflicted with some negative energy, you couldn't tell but you tried to reassure that everything is fine now.

"I can't die yet, I need to complete my mission." he says.

"Pfft. What Mission?" said Rainbow Storm.

"The mission to save the world." said Black Cross.

"What, you think we care about that? We're doing this for fun, your dumb plan won't even work." said Rainbow Storm.

"Listen, I know you guys don't care about the pony world but we need to go home, I know it may be impossible, but I may I remind you that Wesker was responible for teleporting us here into this realm."

You try to be sincere with them, you were confident and gave them reason not to argue. "I'm sorry, but I'M going to try to send you home, I can't just leave you here. You, Emala Jiss, Rainbow Storm, and Tootsie went back inside to get more rest until the night was over. You decided that it would be best to keep your friends away from the house until then, so you separated into different houses.

The next morning you went to visit your friends and they were quiet unusually as if nothing happened from last night. It was strange, but you decided to try to get a conversation started. "Hey guys, do you know what happened to the others?

You looked at Emala Jiss and she smiled at you when she noticed your presence. "They're fine, we're all in the same house right now actually."

"The same house?" asked Black Cross.

"Yeah, you, me, and Tootsie moved in together," she says.

"What about Rainbow Storm?"

"I haven't seen her ever since the night we moved in together, sorry but I don't know where she is." said Emala.

"Ah, okay." you replied.

"Her? I think you mean he." Black Cross corrected.

"Her? Ah, yes I suppose I meant him. Hey, you okay?" she asked.

You nod to confirm your okayiness and she smiles again.

Suddenly you hear a scream coming from outside, ponies were running around trying to get away when a giant monster had appeared. It looked like one of those nightmare creatures from your childhood, a pale dead man in a ragged cloak, with dark holes for eyes, carrying a large sword. The monster was easily defeated when a mare had stomped its hooves onto the beast knocking it out cold. The mare had a reddish mane and tail, she had strange markings similar to Emala's zebra stripes.

"Who are you?" you asked, the mare who had saved them was named Emala Jiss. You were shocked even though Emala was standing beside you.

"Wait, are you saying you're Emala Jiss? There's two of you, but neither of you looked-alike." said Black Cross.

"Nope, this is me." she said.

"Well then, I don't understand why you look different. You end up appearing younger than you actually are." he said.

You turn back to your friend Emala Jiss, she looked confused knowing that the other and newer Emala Jiss was standing beside him holding onto his hooves, she began to feel jealous.

"You're the version 1 right? And this is version 2?" asked Black Cross.

"Yeah, I guess you could put it that way, but there's another me, aren't there always with these two sharing a flat?" asked Emala.

Emala Jiss has been your friend for a long time, but for some reason you felt as if you know the other one, Emala Jiss mark 2, despite not recognizing her. "Okay then, I'll be going now, and I'll see you later."

"Wait, do you have to go just yet?" asked Emala.

Emala Jiss was okay with the other Emala Jiss leaving, that way she can stay close to you. You also could have asked her about what she was doing during the night you were missing, but that would be very suspicious. Instead you simply wave goodbye and head to the train station.

Emala Jiss says "Stay away from that bitch, that fake Emala or version 2 whatever you may call her. She's just trying to get to your head." You nod and part ways waiting for your train. When you arrive in Sotak Swamp, the cypress trees make the entire place seem even more swampy. The village was simple, but it served its purpose. As you arrived at your destination, Emala Jiss mark 2 was standing there as if she was expecting you. When she saw you she waved you over to her. She had a much friendlier smile than your other best friend, and in your state of confusion that you were wondering when the last time you saw her was.

"Umm, hey Emala, what are you doing here?" he asked.

"Waiting for you of course! I actually came here earlier in the week, but version 1 told me to wait until you arrived so we could all go out to eat on me." she says.

"I don't know if I should be hanging out with you, the other Emala told me not to trust you, you two may not look alike but you two have the same name and same personality." Black Cross explained.

"What?! That's not true, we're all friends here!" she reassured him.

"Yeah but you never know, the other you can be lying." he said.

"So let me get this straight; Emala version 1 has black stripes and a pair of wings. Emala version 2 or mark 2 has no stripes, no wings but she does have yellow eyes and a long tail." he says.

"Yep, that about puts it quite nicely." said Emala mark 2 while sipping on her cup of tea enjoying this moment.

"I don't get it." he said.

"What, the joke or compared to the other Emala?" she says.

"Both I guess." said Black Cross.

"I mean, Emala, or version 1 you would say, she's been my friend for a long time." he said.

"I know, but that doesn't mean she isn't dangerous. Just think, if she wasn't dangerous she wouldn't have caught your eye." said Emala mark 2.

"Well, I mean how was I suppose to know?" asked Black Cross.

"How is it that you know me? I now know your name is Emala too, but I don't think I've seen you before." said Black Cross.

Suddenly Emala flew by and punches the other Emala. "Leave him alone" she shouted. "And stop changing the subject, you were going to tell me where you were." said Emala.

"Right, apologies. My name is Emala by the way." said Emala mark 2.
The two Emala's get into a dirty fight. Emala Jiss versus the new Emala Jiss, one that has yellow eyes and no wings or black stripes. "There they are," Emala says when they were concluded, "and you know the rule; we all go get something to eat." You nod in agreement and the group splits up to go to different places.

You can't seem to decide which Emala to go out for dinner to eat with. This is going to be more difficult then you thought. You went with your decision and went to the "civilized" side of the swamp with the newer version of yourself.

You decided to go out for dinner with your best friend Emala Jiss, your long term friend that you knew for a long time. You went to eat at a local restaurant, and the two of you ordered your food. "So how have things been going with you?"

"Oh you know the drill, school, friends, family." she says.

Suddenly Emala version 2 came in heart broken, and she angrily pushes the other Emala off her chair.

"Who are you and what do you want?" - said before looking straight up realizing who had pushed her, - "I know who you are; I'm the original! The black and white striped one!" she shouted.
The original Emala and the new Emala get into an argument. You tried to stop it, but both of them ignored you. Eventually a waiter comes to your table. "Oh sorry about that, the two female mares started fighting over a stallion."

Original Emala says "Black Cross, tell this fake Emala to leave, and tell her that you love me."

"Oh I can't do that, they're too attached to each other," he says. The new Emala slaps the original Emala and she gets mad. She looked at you and growls "I thought we were friends."

"I'm sorry but I don't know you anymore. Everyone I meet is exactly like my ex." he says.

New Emala chokes Original Emala but she grabs a glass cup and throws it to her face until the other Emala lets go of her, the two start a fight over Black Cross. You leave the place and decide to go to another place. "Yup they're acting exactly like my ex."

The original Emala uses her magic but the new Emala has magic of her own and she blocks the attack. "I don't know you anymore."

They both grab each other's throats and start strangling each other. Original Emala had her darkness corrupts her giving her more power and strength as she punches the other Emala simultaneously but she was immune to that pain. Both of them are losing their focus and that is when you decided to jump in. You grab the original Emala by her shoulders and stare into her one green eye. You started shouting at her.

"Stop this fight! I don't want any of you to kill each other."

"But you're not like my ex," original Emala said.

"Neither am I but I see the good in you, don't let the things I just said sway you from doing bad things." he says.
New Emala says, "I am sorry for causing this, Emala I am sorry too but if you truly love him then you can have him, and I guess I'll have nobody" and runs out of the place with her head down.

The other Emala disappears into the air and your old best friend Emala is still kneeling there looking at you. You sit her down.

You sigh.

"I must say I truly hated it when you did that," new Emala says, "You're not my type at all."

"What did I do? I couldn't stop the fight, and the other Emala just wanted to get in a relationship with you or something." she says.

"Hey, it's not my fault, the other Emala just appeared out of nowhere. But we've been friends for a long time." he added.

"I know, but I can't help but think that maybe she did that all along, maybe she was watching me this whole time and only pretended to be upset for my sake." said Emala.

You laugh a bit. "The real question is, how does she know me, I mean of course they both have the same name and personality but I just find it weird." said Black Cross.

"Well, I dunno what to tell you..." - she scoffs, - "You can start by answering my question, how do you know me?"

"We met in a forest at Zecora's hut, she was the one who introduced me to you." he says.

"Oh, you told me about that, at least you weren't fooled by the ogre. So I guess she did know you before after all." she says.

"It seems like it." said Black Cross.

You and your friend Emala hugged each other tightly. "We'll get through this, together."
After a moment she lets go. "We should go back." she says.

"Yeah, let's." he said.

Or not.

"Wait, just a second."

There was a pause, "Huh?"

"I'm guessing you cut your hair?" asked Emala.

"Yeah." you replied.

"So am I. Or at least, I assume so. Who me anyway?" she says.

"I dunno." said Black Cross.

"What do you mean you don't know, we're the same type of pony." she claimed.

"Well that's sort of been the confusion, other than the eye and hair color, we're complete opposite." he added.

"We both have dark hair but we're two different species." he says.

"Oh, yes, that does make a difference. We also look different due to my...you know," - she smirks and looks at you, -

"Goddess face." she says.

"That's true." said Black Cross.

"Hmm, I wonder where my eye color-green came from. Do you think it came from my mother?" she asked.

"Are you kidding me?" he said.

"With that expression, I'm guessing not." she says.

"We could ask your mother Zophia, next time we visit her this weekend?" asked Black Cross.

"Yeah, although I'm afraid she won't know either." Emala claimed.

"I see. Then we should probably get going." said Black Cross.

"Yeah." she replied.

"Hey, we can still go caroling on Friday!" he shouted.

"Oh that's right, I've got nothing to do on that day." she says with a wide grin on her face.

Emala walks you home and as you walked inside your home, Emala pushes you into the bedroom.

"That's right, I'm home," you say as you walk in.

"I want to...!" - Emala says as she tries to look under your bed - "What the hell!?"

It appears that the other Emala was hiding under Black Cross's bed as if she was expecting them to enter.

"You're back a little earlier than usual. I hope you didn't tell our secret." says Emala mark 2.

"Wait Emala? I mean Emala version 2. What were you doing under my bed?" asked Black Cross.

"Oh I thought I was hiding, but it would appear I was mistaken." - she says as she got out from underneath the bed - "Your mother dressed you up as a boy for the first 4 years of your life, but I think you know that."

"Wait, how do you know that? Only my best friend Emala would know that." he said.

"I may not know much about being a vampire, but I know tricks for finding out secrets. You're a vampire aren't you?" said Emala version 2.

"Not really?" he replied.

"I'm a crusader and I hunt vampires. It's written all over my cutie mark, that's why my mother named me Black Cross." he stated.

She shakes her head. "I don't think you know nearly enough about hunting vampires and I don't think you know how close you are to being killed." she said while jokingly mocking him.

"Wait you're going to kill me? You're just jealous because I'm here with the real and original Emala." said Black Cross.

"Oh yeah? Prove it." she said.

"How?" he says.

"By showing me your coffin!" she shouted.

"What? Wait. I sleep in a coffin." he questioned.

"Vampires can't kill me, I have a cross necklace I'm immune to death." he says while showing her his crucifix necklace.

"Your coffin doesn't look like the vampires I've seen in movies. It looks like a grave to me." she says giggling.

"Just get out of my house!" he shouted. You grabbed her wrist and she pulls your hooves towards her face. You feel sharp fangs dig into your palm. You yell in pain as blood squirts directly in the mouth of the vampire.

You cast healing spell to cover the wounds. You cover the bloody wound from your bleeding palm with a healing spell. It stops the bleeding and stops the pain, but doesn't close the wound. "So you can heal your own wounds eh?" the vampire says.

The original Emala stood there frighten and unable to move as she witness Black Cross was bleeding.

"I don't think this will work on me." You stand there thinking of a way out as the original Emala looks at you with sad eyes.

"I'm sorry." cried Emala.

You grabbed your enchanted sword of division and stab the vampire Emala in the heart. You pull your sword from her body and the vampire falls to the floor. You quickly realized your actions "Emala!" Black Cross cries as he runs over to her body.

"I really tried to like you, but..." she says before passing out. You picked up Emala and get out of the house to wait for the police to arrest the vampire. "Come on we have to go!" you say.

"Emala!" Black Cross cries as he stands with his back turned towards her.

"We'll come back to get the body later you..." he says before losing focus with words. You and Emala were at the hospital but can't remember what happened last night. You've also noticed that your wounds have healed. You remember that Black Cross and his undead version of Emala killed each other.

"What have I done..?" he says.

"Hey, don't worry. If you didn't do it, then it must not have been you." a police officer says walking into the room.

You look at the man in confusion. "Huh?"

You looked at your palms and notice you're human again, "Did we go back to the human world?" you notice you were no longer ponies.

The officer had explained that you were in a coma all along. The part where I was a pony was just a dream. It was all just a dream. The End.

Author's Note

Fortunately, this story was made possible by a game called AI Dungeon. Although despite being uncanon - this is probably my favorite 2-person view kind of scenario among the other projects that I made in the past that have the same genre.
