Following the events of Chapter 6

It had been two days since the incident in the everfree forest. Twilight was invited to stay at Canterlot by herself.
No friends not even Spike. I Aint kidding, Twilight has seen this invitation to Canterlot as almost some strange test that Celestia has set. When she asked James about it he shrugged.

But the day had past it was weird though since Celestia explained to Twilight who Aldreich and Soldier was but Twilight
felt like something had been left out... However she didn't doubt her former teacher but just now Celestia wanted
her to come all by herself..
A strange request from the same princess who would usually let Twilight bring her friends with her.

Twilight arrived to the train station with her stuff that she needed in her bags as her friends and Spike had came
to say their temporary goodbyes.

Applejack was first to say.

"See you when you get back Twilight."

"Bring a souvenir. And do be safe" Said Rarity as she placed a pink robe over Twilight.

Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy hugged Twilight in insurance and Spike and Twilight hugged as well
in the back of the girls however James had his sunglasses on him, he knows why Twilight is going to Canterlot.
The same reason of what Celestia had told him..

"Girl's I'll be fine it will only be for a day or two."

"But how can you be certain that you walk in some trap?!" Asked the element of loyalty.

"I'm sure it's not a trap I trust Celestia and hey! Maybe it's a test." Assured Twilight.

James entered the conversation with only two words as he smirked a little.

"Have fun." He said.

Twilight and her friends shrugged in to no clue of what the commander meant, the princess of friendship
boarded the train to Canterlot as she loaded her baggage it was heavy.
Twilight looked into her bag and...

"SPIKE!?"

But it was too late the train was now moving and there was no time to put him back out as Twilight hoofpalmed
herself and then looked at Spike who was in her bag.

"Hehe.. Sorry??" Said Spike.

Twilight sighed and looked at the window. Clearly it was inevitable that he's going to be with her no matter
what Celestia says. But of course she could use some company but that was a bit sneaky of Spike to
sneak into her baggage, but either way she is now on her way to Canterlot and if the note says correctly
her brother and Cadence should be there as well.

The princesses where about to meet the wielders again but Twilight .. She is gonna find out truly about James..

-----------------------------------------------------------------Canterlot 3 hours after Twilight is settled----------------------------------

It was night time and Twilight had still waited on Celestia to let her know when they were ready to have this
secret meeting that had to exclude her friends from this..

A new threat maybe? Some secret that could tip the balance of power? What was it?

Twilight opened her room door seeing Spike asleep as she covered him with a blanket her room door opened with
a messenger that came to tell her. That it was time for the meeting.

Twilight made her way to the throne room they were waiting for her to arrive when the guards opened the door
to the throne room before everypony that was in the room was to leave.

Celestia, Luna, Cadence, and Shining Armor were present in the room he had armor on though but that was without
reasoning of why.

Twilight asked Celestia.

"Whats going on?"

Celestia and Luna looked at each other as they turned to the three unsuspected royals.

"We are about to show you something that I should have shown long ago." Said Celestia.

"What is it you want to show?" Questioned Twilight.

Shining and Cadence were silent before Shining looked at his sister and said.

"Your.. About to see. You see it's about the commander, James, h-"

"Wait you mean that incident at the everfree?" Interrupted Twilight.

Celestia shook her head.

"Despite him nearly taking ones life.. That wasn't the case, remember Mr. Aldreich and Soldier?"

"Yea? Weren't they visitors like you said they were from another world?"

"Not quite..."

Twilight was a bit eye widened and a little confused. What did her former teacher mean when she said
'not quite' was this a lie? If so why? And better question is why hide it from her friends?

"You see Twilight. Those two were not aliens.. They were called wielders."

"Wielders??" Asked Twilight.

"Yes wielders they came from well.. Commander James mind.. And those were just two out of the 5."

"WAIT! WHAT! BUT IF THAT'S THE CASE.. Then.."

Celestia and Luna were a little downed by what they were going to have to tell Twilight and what she will find
herself soon..

"It was where Hiduras came from..."

Twilight had to sit down now.. So what Celestia was telling her was that. One. Hiduras, emperor of the Phaedra
empire, came from James mind in which those two strange creatures called the Wielders were hunting him
down and Celestia that try to cover this up lying to her friends and hiding the fact that the two were Mind wielders??

This was all strange and confusing for Twilight and she was about to get a headache just thinking about it.

Celestia and Luna's horns were lit as their magic formed some type of portal to a world of some type.
Luna entered this portal followed by Cadence and Shining, Celestia insisted with Twilight entering as the bookworm
Alicorn entered the portal to this strange world of the mind as Celestia looked at the throne room in assurance
that'd she be back as she entered the portal herself closing it.

------------------------------------------------------The World of the Mind---------------------------------------------------------------------

It was the great night tradition for the wielders. That tradition is...

"ALRIGHT DEAL THEM POKER CARDS!!" Said Arthir as Aldreich deals their cards on the poker
table.

So far in the poker game, Soldier had been getting lucky with his fair share of the cards, Jirech is
a newbie at it, Aldreich is the referee and deal goer, and Doctor and Arthir are deep in the game.

Aldreich starts the card set up as the gang starts digging in to the cards as beer bottles are delivered to the poker
gamers.

Finally after some minutes bets were either won or lost. Jirech started bugging Aldreich.

"You know maybe you should join us?"

"Nah I ain't a gambler just the dealer." responded Aldreich

"Heh suit yourself." Said Soldier.

The game goes on in the casino part of the mind.

Meanwhile outside the brain police had a glass of cider wine when
a burst of energy spawned in front of them the two were surprised at this sudden spawn
as what came out next.. were ponies..

They see what is Cadence, Shining, followed by Luna and then Celestia and Twilight.

The two brain officers dripped their alcohol out and just left their post.

Twilight was weirded out by the area they are in.. The creatures in some type of blue uniform.
And the bright building that they were guarding..

Cadence and Shining could say the same as they looked around in curiosity, Shining was first to break this awe.

"You went here?" He said.

"Indeed we did but it seems they rebuilt this place back up faster than we expected.." Responded Luna.

"Rebuilt?" Asked Twilight.

"Lets just say this was a bit of a warzone." Said Celestia.

As the five came to the front of this place Aldreich came out to the back alley with Jirech making jokes about magical
tree forest and a nut that the outsiders called Derpy when Twilight recognized Aldreich but the other one looked
new. And young to her.

"Mr. Aldreich!"

"Princess Twilight.. Oh and I see you brought a paparazzi." Joked Aldreich as he noticed about the royals.

"And you must be?" Asked Cadence.

"Aldreich. And I assume you must be.. Uhh.. Ok you look new and I don't blame you but who is this
pink and the white Alicorn and the armored unicorn?" He asked.

Cadence and Shining got a bit stern but Twilight introduced the two.

"This is Cadence Mi Amore, my sister in law, and my brother Shining armor."

"Ah yes... The same one that hopped out of the.. Anyways I guess you can meet my own uh.. Apprentice.
Jirech this is Twilight Sparkle, the same one who defeated Hiduras and I think you over heard the introduction
by now."

"It's a pleasure to meet you princesses and prince. Oh and Twilight, congrats on getting wings." Said Jirech as he offered his hand and shook with Shining.

Soldier and Arthir comes to back alley.

"HEY ALDREICH! WE MADE A NEW BET WE NEED YOU BACK FOR A MO-"

Soldier was interrupted at their new guest.. And it wasn't believable at first as he drinked too much but
it was as it is...

"Oh... It's those two and. Wait... There's 2 more Alicorn's? And what's with that purple armor
on that horse?" Questioned Soldier.

Twilight and Cadence looked at each other and Shining was a bit insulted.. But Celestia says.

"I guess I can say more if we can get in?"

"Oh please go right ahead it's nothing to worry about Mien friend." Said Doctor as he exited as well with a champagne bottle.

The royals entered the casino building as Aldreich signed the royals names in the list of entrance, Twilight was
awed and same can be said with Celestia and Luna.

"This is like Las pegasus! But even more golden!" Said Twilight.

"It does put amazement into us all." Said Celestia as even she is surprised at the geometricity but not
a gambler.

the group was lead to the meet tables as some rich brains and gamblers go pass them Twilight was looking all
over the place in amazement but Shining was very questionative.

"So.. Where exactly did you came from? And most importantly what exactly is your purpose?" He asked

Doctor was quick to answer this question.

"Lets just say that we formed as soon as he uh... Arrived here. Oh and also it's to manage his complications."

"Such as?" Asked Shining.

"Strategies, emotions. Internal stuff?" Responded Doctor.

Shining was a bit skeptical but Twilight gave him a 'know your manners' face but Cadence asked.

"So how did you exactly know of these.. Well five?" She asked

"I guess I should start explaining, it started on the day James was fully ranked to commander of the entire Equestrian army my sister entered into his mind to find the source of what he called a head ache when it was apparent
that she wounded up in a warzone, between two of these wielders!" Pointed Celestia at Arthir and Soldier
as they rolled their eyes. She then continued. " It was then that she was rescued by the neutral three wielders that didn't started any wa-"

"I'm gonna have to cut you off on that one.. You see me, Jirech, and Arthir had a conflict of free for all..." Informed Aldreich.

"You had what now?" Luna asked..

"Yea.. Before you actually enter this world at all we had our war too.. BUT! We resolved it in the most peaceful way."

"Through nuclear means." Mumbled Arthir.

Aldreich stared at Arthir but then continued to say.

"The point is everyone had their fair share of some conflict.. Except for Doctor who is smart enough to not start any wars at all."

"Any war so far." Mumbled again Arthir.

"Arthir.. Can you shut up man.."

"No :D"

"-_-"

The two started slapping each other on the hands before doctor rolled his chair between them and pushed them away
from each other.

"Can we not fight verdammt! We got guest that we should make most of until.. Wait a minute.. Why exactly
did you came here exactly??"

Celestia obviously wanted to show Twilight this upon her transformation into Alicornhood. But instead she thought
to wait but when her former foe, Hiduras, attacked and Aldreich and Soldier came into the assist
it was clear that she waited too long and in hopes this should explain everything but now she has to explain to them
to..

"Mr. Doctor if you please I like to speak with you in private." She requested.

"Very well, save me a Champaign ja?"

As Celestia and Doctor left the room it was just Luna, Twilight, and the imperial couples.

"I guess while those two are off I'm gonna go be random and gamble my life." Said Soldier.

"I'll bet you 500 brainic's." Betted Arthir.

"Deal." He Boasted.

The two went off into the casino with their money sticking out.

As for Armor and Cadence they went off to look around the place as Luna offered to accompany them, which the
two accepted (Just as long that Luna doesn't become a burdened third wheel) and the three went off.

It now leaves us with the important ones of this story. Aldreich, Jirech, and Twilight sparkle.

"Sooo.. I guess we should give her a tour here?" Suggested Jirech.

"Yea that's what I was gonna say, if that's fine with you Mrs. Sparkle."

"Twilight would do fine." She Interjected.
"But I have to give it to you and well, your entire people here!"

"Please it's more like the benefits of intelligence really and well unfortunately for.. Some people or in your
case, ponies, are just dumb." Expressed Jirech.

"Well, it's a great place to ever been built inside of.. Well.. Inside a mind, but why? Or better question when? No no. Better question how?!" Struggled Twilight, as she tried to find words for this subject.

"It's gonna be hard to explain all that but lets just say when James first uh. Came here we were formed
inside of his mind and then lived our life's." Simplified Aldreich.

"Oh but before we did we had a war and then we had fun and we-"

"Jirech... None of that please.." Grunted Aldreich.

"Oh said to much?" Conferred Jirech.

"No your repeating Doctors speech but yea.. We had a war but that's not really much of a blood shed. (Ish)"

The three started walking around the place and around the city, Twilight was having fun writing it all down with a
notepad and even made a scratch book out of it just by the looks of it. It reminded her about Manehatten
and how it can make a pony feel small and well.. This the same but more, futuristic, she couldn't bare
the thought of the minds that one had.

"It's interesting how a civilization could live like ponies.. Only, they aren't ponies and your people are extremely intelligent.."

Aldreich and Jirech looked at each other while also barely contain their laughter, but they laughed anyways
in a outburst as if they heard the worlds most funniest joke or some YouTube poop vid or something.

"What's so funny?" Asked Twilight.

"The part of "extremely intelligent" I mean, sure we are intelligent but not really, hell we started wars and who knows what would happen if some person went total smart I bet that'd be the main start of wars completely.
Of course I doubt that a mare of your mind would start any, atleast.. I hope you don't start one."

"Whats that suppose to mean?" Stammered Twilight.

"Well lets say that. Well your a princess and well princesses in a, weird but fine country, has the power to the point of military control if not atleast a entire town. Or hell, a nation." Explained Aldreich.

"But that's not right! I believe in Celestia's teachings and I don't believe that war is the solution! I even in the elements of Harmony to prevent these things.. Even if they are not with us..."

"Ah! But you see, you are the princess and who knows how powerful you are now that you are a Alicorn.
For all I know you might end up becoming powerful than Luna, or Cadence, or-"

"Celestia? There's no way I can much powerful than her.." She doubted.

"Oh please, your the one with the wings and, hold on a minute," Aldreich grabbed change and gave it to a waiter as he buys a ice pop for himself and Jirech. "Want one?" He asked.

"No thanks." Answered Twilight.

"Suit yourself" Said Aldreich as the waiter left.

The three continued walking down as Aldreich continued to say.

"Anyways.. With all that said, it's your probable future. Potentially greater, beautiful, and hard,
but in the end it comes down on the controller of it all. But that to say what's the controller of it's path will decide that
future ,if not, letting others micromanage that future."

"What are you suggesting?" She asked.

Aldreich pointed to Jirech to take the wheel this time as Jirech starts going into song mode
*Oh god cut to the meeting! CUT TO THE MEETING!!!!!!*

----------------------------------------------------------------Doctor and Celestia---------------------------------------------

Doctor took Celestia to a undisclosed room in the central brain lobe as Celestia stood Doctor offers a seat.

"Need a seat?" He asked.

"That won't be necessary." She politely responds.

"Very well then lets get to business then."

"Indeed." Acknowledged Celestia.

The two stood silent for a second Celestia then goes serious and ask.

"Any update on who is a threat?" She asked.

"Sadly I had little much time to see anyone." Doctor then continues to say.
"So far everyone was clear and I couldn't even tell if I was a threat myself so I tested myself and.."

"Lemme guess.. No good?" She Teased.

The Doctor Sighed as he shook his head and sat down on the chair he offered early as if he was giving up.

"Besides.. Even if we find this threat I don't even want to think about killing a friend. It's ironic that one of
us is a threat to the outside and is waiting to poise a strike on us.." Concerned Doctor.

Celestia placed her hoof on his neck in assurance that she still understands that this threat is not that good and well.
But she looked around and well. Aldreich is immediately off the chart along with Jirech. And certainly Doctor should
be off it since he was investigating it. So that would leave off Soldier and Arthir.. But either way even she has
something to get off of her chest.

"You know.. I have only told this to only Cadence and Shining.." Admitted Celestia as Doctor
was now in a complete ridicules look..

"Only... Why haven't you bother to tell Dammerung this?" He asked.

(Twilight)

"Well.. As you would see if you had been looking through James vision, she wasn't a Alicorn at the time and I thought that she wasn't ready to bear this truth.." Hesitated Celestia

"Unfortunately I can see where you are coming at.. But if you aren't prepared, then the consequences could be.. Well dire." Predicted Doctor.

"I know. But I don't know if she will bare it.." Worried Celestia on the thought that her former apprentice will fear the day..

"Listen Prinzessin Celestia, if you don't tell her then I will it's only a matter of time before she finds out in
the most life ending way." Warned Doctor.

Celestia was now on a edge of a cliff.. To tell Twilight would be the option or to not admit.. But what Doctor
says could even be a greater risk. Celestia thought it through long and hard for a good moment before
finally. She came to her senses.

"Your right, I shouldn't have kept that secret from her. She isn't a foal no more from what I remember.. She
and her friends has accomplished much through preparation and inspiration I've been blinded much in the
past too much I forgot that Twilight had been through everything even when I wasn't there when she needed
me."

"Well... When you put it like that.."

Celestia looked at him with a curious face before Doctor recalled his words.

"Ehh continue."

"It's alright.. I can see what you mean."

"You do?" He asked."

Celestia nodded her head in understanding that she may have not been helpful neither..

-------------------------------------------------------------Finally Jirech's done singing--------------------------------------------------------------------

"YEAAHHHH!!!!" Jirech shouted after that guitar solo singing about (god end me now) being yourself.

Twilight was clopping her hooves as Aldreich rolled his eyes but was impressed but surprised but still happy that his apprentice was doing something. Unexpectedly that was.

"Sooo. What did we learn?" Jirech Inquired.

"I think from what I learn from what you've singed is that. I should be myself." She implied.

"Bravo. Now I think we are done here by now it shouldn't be long before your teacher assembles
everyone an-" Aldreich was quick to noticed a figure went by as he recognizes those forms in which
he was quick to say.

"GET DOWN!" He shouted as he pushed Twilight down and Jirech leaped behind
a concrete barrier as a rocket smashed into the streets sending every brain citizen scattering from the area as a
group of terrorist's came out as if they were looking for something.. Or someone.

"Have you found them yet." Said Kilio, the new leader of the Bacterian terrorist group.

"Not yet sir but we found a purple fur, seemed smoldered but it may have checked out." Said a Bacterian soldier who is wearing a all black vest and uniform with a gas mask that muffled their voices.

Twilight peeked before her muzzle was covered b Aldreichs hand as he placed his finger on his mouth
which Twilight nodded and Aldreich removed his hand off her muzzle as she quietly looked.

"Should we find the other targets?"Questioned another Bacterian soldier.

"No, the purple one is the target, when I get my hands I'M GONNA MAKE THAT PURPLE ALICORN WISH SHE
NEVER LIVED!" Finally Kilio snapped and shout to the sky. "WHERE ARE YOU BITCH! I'M COMING FOR YOU AND I WILL KILL YOU! AND KILL YOU ALL OVER AGAIN! I SWEAR IT!" Kilio shouted as he snatched a rifle
from one of his guys.

Aldreich was ready to kill as well as he grabbed out a weapon of his own he then peeked over the side walls
that he and Twilight where hiding at seeing Jirech peeking as well.

Aldreich whispers. "What ever you do. Do not make a sound, get to Jirech."

"What about you!" She whispered back.

"I'll be fine but you won't if you stay here, now move!" He ordered.

Twilight quietly trotted towards Jirech as Kilio was getting nearer and nearer she stepped on a cement pit.
That was to be dry now as she got stuck in it when it dried. She struggles to get out of the pit.

"Curse you Coincidental construction schedules!" Jirech says as he looked around and see's Kilio
approaching her, he had to be quick as he got a pickaxe from the ground and crawled towards
Twilight.

He attempted to break the cement stone as chunks were being broken out which Kilio then turned
with his rifle pointing it at Jirech and Twilight.

"FOUND YOU AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!" Kilio laughed Manically as the two Bacterian
troopers pointed at the two.

Before they were shot to death that was.

------------------------------------------------------------The place the group met at-----------------------------------------------------------

Celestia, Luna, and the crystal royal couple came to the spot they met a hour ago as they have been waiting
for Aldreich, Jirech and Twilight to come but Celestia was a bit weirded out as she had been a little on
edge to break the news to Twilight but so far it's taking too long..

So to 'calm' herself she started walking left and right before a crowd ran inside in a panic state
as Doctor talked to one of them.

"Whats going on?" He ask.

"IT'S THE BACTERIANS! RUN AWAY! RUN AWAY!!" Shouted a brain person as he ran
from what seemed to be danger.

"Ah Scheisse.."

"Wait I thought you dealt with those guys?" Soldier wondered.

"Who's the Bacterians.." Asked Luna in a concerned way.

"Well.. You see the guy you fought named Hiduras ruled these guys and well.. Lets just say it's not a group
to mess with.." Explained Doctor.

"Yea.. Oh and also they are after a pony that Doctor calls a Alicorn named uh. Twilier? Twilic? Twi.." Before Arthir could
try to guess the correct name Celestia immediately flew out of the place which concerned everyone.

"Verdammt Arthir! Mrs. Luna can you assist?" He asked.

"I got your back." She responds.

"Good, SOLDIER! ARTHIR! WATCH THOSE TWO COUPLES!" Doctor orders as Soldier salutes
and Arthir brings his poker cards out.

Doctor and Luna were on their way and hopefully they can get there before Celestia.
Which because of Celestia's potential speed, probably not.

-------------------------------------------------------Chaos--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The two Bacterian soldiers who had Twilight and Jirech gun pointed where killed as Kilio turned Aldreich charged
at him full force knocking him on the ground which ensued a fist fight as one of the other fought to the death.

Aldreich threw the first punch at Kilio before he retaliated by banging Aldreich on the brick wall as Aldreich kicked
Kilio in the groin he was quick to disarm him as Kilio, in a attempt to get Aldreich off of him, fired off
all his entire mag before he threw Aldreich to the ground pointing the gun at him.

However Kilio was foolish because he just forgotten that he emptied his entire rounds on a single strangle
as he pulled the trigger the gun clicked and then when he grabbed out a knife he was slammed in
full force directly in the wall by Celestia which in the process disarmed him of his knife as Aldreich grabbed
it and bagged it.

Aldreich came aside to Celestia.

"I'll take it from here." He insisted as Celestia turned Kilio over to Aldreich.

"Where's Twilight." She demanded.

"Don't worry she's right there." Aldreich pointed.

Twilight saw the whole thing and for once she just saw Celestia's very bad side but with good reason.
I mean who wouldn't kill someone just to protect those who'd you cared about.

"Are you alright!" Celestia said as the two hugged.

"I'm fine thanks." She smiled as the two separated Twilight had questions for herself
of what this guy think he is.

Doctor and Luna arrived to the area of interest while they were too late the conflict was resolved atleast.

"Are you alright Twilight?" Luna asked before Twilight nodded in insurance.

"You good? Anyone killed?" Doctor asked Aldreich.

"Nah but after today this one is going to be when I get through with him."
He reprimanded towards Kilio, who is now cuffed and is pressed on the wall.

"Will he be a problem?" Luna asked.

"Don't worry he won't." Doctor responded.

----------------------------------------------------------------Back at the casino ---------------------------------------------------------------------

The group came back to the casino after the whole thing however Aldreich and Jirech stayed behind
to lock up Kilio and then interrogate him.

As the sisters and Twilight went inside.. Doctor sees a depressed Soldier and Arthir as they looked like they've
been beaten.

"What happened to you two?" Doctor ask.

"Lets.. Just say we lost." Said the Defeated Soldier.

"53 games to a couple.." Arthir says precisely

"You what now?" Doctor questioned as he, Twilight, and the sisters looked behind those
two, and sure enough the two couples didn't even care about money but damn that was a huge stacks and they
were defeating everyone in a game of poker.

"How did that happen??" Doctor asked.

"Long story short, they wanted to know how to play the game and well I teached them the basics and.."

"And they took it to literal and they destroyed everyone at the game." Arthir Interjected.

"Yea.. That says, Poker night is over anyways." Soldier reckoned as the game employees were starting to close up shop.

Celestia shook hoof to hand with Doctor as she sent Luna to go fetch the two empowered couple as they
were ready to leave.

"It's a pleasure to have you with us, despite of course the whole thing that went down just now." Doctor added.

"It's a pleasure as well." Celestia says as they stop shaking hand to hoof.

"Twilight when we get to the castle in the morning..
There's something that I have to tell you." Celestia says.

Twilight didn't questioned it as it may be some type of a assignment or a lesson. As Luna and the couples
on the other hand.

"WHOO! I CAN GO FOR ROUND TWO!" Excited Shining.

"WHO KNEW SUCH A GAME COULD BE FUN!" Cadence shouted in joy before she gave
the earned money to Soldier and Arthir.

"Thank you for teaching us. Me and my husband had appreciated it."

"Uhhh. Thanks I guess?" Muttered Soldier as he and Arthir just walks out.

As the two defeated gamblers walked past Celestia, she opened the portal back to their home world as
Luna, Cadence and Armor, and Twilight entered the portal.

"Good luck, your gonna need it." Granted Doctor as Celestia looks at him.

"Good luck to you too," Celestia says as she entered the portal.

"Auf Wiedersehen.. Prinzessin Celestia," Doctor says.

The portal disappears as Jirech and Aldreich entered late as it seemed they were both confused.

"Where's the royals?" Aldreich asked.

"Yea? We were having fun with Twilight." Jirech wondered.

"Don't worry they told me to say it was nice meeting yall and that we have to go, besides it's a pleasant night to enjoy." Doctor ensured.

The three decided to continue playing poker together and this time Aldreich played instead of being the
referee. And surprisingly he won.

----------------------------------------------------------------Outside of the mind------------------------------------------------------

After the royals left the throne room for rest for the night Twilight entered her room seeing
Spike being in the same spot as if nothing happened. She tucked herself in the
blankets and slept.

Celestia entered her room with a conflict inside her that's telling her don't do it, or Doctor won't
tell her because he is nothing, another conflict saying, there is no threat. Of course knowing Celestia and her
past she lets go of these things as she slept in her bed wondering when the threat will be ready.

--------------------------------------------------------5 hours later in the morning-------------------------------------------------------

Twilight was now out of bed very early but that was because she was being jumped on by Spike. Well atleast
that was one thing, but last night Twilight thought it was all a dream for a minute before she was reminded
that it wasn't and that Celestia has something she wanted to say to her. But before she can get there
she might want to explain to Spike about it.

It was then that the guards opened door entering Celestia.

"You don't mind if I enter." She requested.

"Oh, sure I don't mind at all." Twilight responded as Celestia was smiling that the two is awake.

"You may need to sit from what I am about to explain what's truly going on." Celestia expressed as
Twilight and Spike looked at each other in worry as they both sat down.

"James.. Is a ticking time bomb. Something evil in all dark magic and power is using him as a staging ground
and while we don't know where but I'm afraid to tell you that.. One of them including Doctor are potential
suspects and you may have been with this threat, I'm sorry to tell you this Twilight.. But I had kept this since
the invasion of Canterlot and.. I do hope you can forgive me.." She Apologetically explained.

Twilight and Spike were now shocked at this news and even misunderstood it for a second, finally she picked up the
pieces of Celestia's explanation.. Twilight however had determination and is a preparation freak as she
looked at Celestia determined to do Whats necessary to protect Equestria. But there is one thing to
ask.

"How can I help." She asked.

Celestia had sent James for the purpose of the Elements of Harmony to watch him when the threat decides
to rear it's ugly face but that was when she gave Twilight a vague note, but when they were coming out of
the Everfree forest Twilight had been spying on him a little while not understanding why the whole time.
And now with that explanation. Celestia would eventually assigned Twilight a mission to have ponies in a
group to keep a eye on James. Recruits for the Equestrian self defense forces will be assisting Twilight as
they were briefed on this situation and cannot disclose it to anypony until it happens.

----------------------------------------------------------Ponyville train station----------------------------------------------------------------

Twilight and Spike were now arriving back to the station as they met with her friends. The 6 hugged
it out as Twilight can see James in the same spot looking at her with a understanding nod of what she seen
and been told because you wanna know something?

He too had met them.

Author's Note

And thus the explanation to remember closes most likely gonna be a sequel for this but of course that's gonna be for another time. Hope you enjoy the miquel.
