Previously on "The Vault of Secrets" Cozy Glow got a headache that somehow made her come to know of a thing called the "Universal Constant" which makes it that if they make any changes to the version of their world they now find themselves in, it'll cause problems to their version of their world. Lola eleborated this point, and said to seek this the source of the universal constant in this new version of their world to form an olive branch with that being. Lola the proceeded to drop the mother of all bombshells of who exactly they were looking for...

"WHAT DO YOU MEAN I'M THE SOURCE OF THE UNIVERSAL CONSTANT?!" Twilight exclaimed.

"Throughout every version of your universe, you receive the least amount of change regardless of how the world turns out: You always seek out a way to include friendship in your life, whether that be by Celestia's request, or eventually on your own in the versions of your world that were created when Starlight stopped the Sonic Rainboom so many times." Lola explained.

"Hey, leave my mother out of this!" Luster Dawn said.

"My apologies, but it needed to be brought up." Lola said.

"So...because I hardly change much...I've become the source of the Universal constant?" Twilight asked.

"Yes." Lola simply said.

"That's...wow...that's just wow..." Twilight said.

"Twilight becoming speechless? That's a new one." Rainbow Dash said.

"HEY, WHO ARE YA PONIES?!" An all too familiar voice to the group called out.

The Vault of Secrets Part 2 - Side Dark

"That's this universe's version of Apple Bloom..." Lola said. "Let me handle this..." She said and approuched Dark Apple Bloom. "My apologies for just dropping in...we're here to see..." Lola used a small spell real quick and then continued. "...Dark Queen Twilight." Lola added.

"Oh...you must be here because of that strange pony that fell into the Queen's castle not too long ago. She figured someone would show up looking for him sooner or later. Go on ahead, her majesty's castle is over that way." Dark Apple Bloom said, pointing towards the Dark Castle.

"I see. Thank you." Lola said and then Dark Apple Bloom went off.

"Whao...that was wierd..." Apple Buck said.

"You said it." Main Diamond Tiara said. "Let's mvoe." She added.

The group soon came up to the giant dark castle and entered, heading through the big doors each time to get to the throne room where Dark Queen Twilight and Dark King Sombra were waiting for them all.

"So...you must have come from wherever it is this strange male pony hails from." Dark Queen Twilight said. The male pony was brought fourth and bound.

"Not really. Tell me, when he arrived, did a mysterious portal open up in the celing and dropped him into your world?" Lola asked.

"Yes. How did you know?" Dark King Sombra asked.

"Then it seems I've found the one who missused the Vault of Secrets." Lola said and then approuched the bound pony. "So, I have to ask you: Who are you, and why did you enter the Vault of Secrets?" Lola asked.

"My name is Humos...I come from a war torn world. Just before I entered the vault, my world had but three days left before a giant nuke would destroy it. Hearing tales of that vault you speak of, the rumor of how the vault could guide innocent lives to a new world was enough for me to open the vault door. But when I did, I think something went wrong and I ended up here instead." The bound pony explained.

"I see...what did you do when you encountered the vault door? Did you turn it at all?" Lola asked.

"Yes. I turned it. That's what you do with a vault door after all." Humos said.

"Not that one." Lola said. "Your not supposed to do anything extra to open it." She added.

"What? Why not?" Humos asked.

"The Vault of Secrets is home to a way to go to new worlds, that is true, but it's meant more so as an interdimensional gateway of sorts. And without knowing which universe you came from, I'm afraid your trapped here, in this universe." Lola explained.

"Oh...so then, I'm here all alone with no way back?" Humos asked.

"I'm afraid so. And because you did the wrong thing with that vault door, it caused a massive earthquake across the universe you entered. I'm sure it was felt here in this dimension too." Lola said.

"How did you come to know all of this?" Dark Queen Twilight asked. "How could you have such knowledge about this Vault of Secrets?" She added.

"Before me, only my father really knew the secret of that vault. Rumors and tales of the vault exist, but all of them twist the truth behind the biggest secret of the vault. So my father taught me all about the Vault of Secrets and the true secret locked inside. And that secret is that's it's an interdimensional gateway between different versions of a singular universe." Lola explained. "So unfortunatly, your punishment Mr. Humos, is already served: Your trapped in this universe now." She added.

"No...that's not what I meant to do..." Humos said.

"Sorry, but them's the breaks." Lola said then turned to her friends. "Let's go home now." She added.

"Wait...that's it? That's all we came here for?" Cozy Glow asked.

"What? Were you expecting us to have to deal with some crazed lunatic or something? Something my father taught me is that you can't expect to fight a bad guy in EVERY adventure you go on, otherwise you grow used to it all too quickly." Lola said.

"Huh...I guess you've got a point." Cozy Glow said. The group finally head to this dimension's Vault of Secrets so they could head back home.

One thing was certain on this trip above all else, and Lola summed it up quite nicely: You really can't expect to fight a bad guy in every adventure you go on. And for once, Luster Dawn and her friends are happy for that one.

It sure was nice to go on an adventure without the threat of some villain on the horizon.

Author's Note

I apologize if anyone was expecting some kind of giant clash to come out of all this, but as Lola stated in the story, not every adventure NEEDS to end with a bad guy.
