" you sure you ain't half asleep?" Bluebell questioned Treasure.

" I ain't the type of pony who'd kid around," he said in a serious tone. "N-Now help me out here and wake the others."

Bluebell reluctantly assisted Treasure to wake the others. "You better be right, or else we'll have one cranky Bubbles."

They tried to wake up the rest, but there was no reaction.

"... Crap."

Treasure began waking them up violently; there was no response.

" W-what's going on, Tress? I don't like this prank one bit!" Bluebell began to worry.

" It ain't one! Quickly! Grab the others and let's bolt outa here!"

Bluebell would carry the mares while Treasure would carry the stallions; luckily, their training in the military came quite handy, as they easily carried them and were able to exit the building.

There, they placed their friends on the running fountain at the center of the village.

" What do we do what do we do what do we do!?" Bluebell panicked.

"Calm down and do some magic that might help," Treasure suggested as he stayed alert and watched the vicinity for anything strange.

Bluebell would grab some water from the fountain and splash it on their faces. She'd soon notice that the water was shining and glowing white and blue.

" Oh crap... Um, Tress... I did something stupid."

As he looked at what Bluebell was talking about, he could only react with disbelief and frustration. " Damn it, Blue!"

" I'm sorry..." Her eyes were on tears.

" Help me wipe it off of them!"

And wiped, they did. Now it's on their hooves; it was one stupid action after another.

Treasure would see this error, and his reaction to it was too late. His eyes widened at how stupid his actions were. They both looked at each other, and their doom was painted all over their faces.

"At least we'll die together." She hugged Cross lovingly and further infected herself with the glowing water.

This infuriated Treasure, as Bluebell continued to make it worse for her.
"Whyiii!?"

He face-hoofed and infected his head as well.

Defeated, he sat beside Apple and held her hooves. He closed his eyes, waiting for what was to become of them.

His mind was blank; he could not even dream or imagine within his mind. He can only wait.

" Psst" he heard.

As he opens his eyes, a mare wearing a shroud can be seen. Her dullish pink, lavender muzzle is the only thing he can clearly see, and the rest is covered by her black yet glowing shroud that faintly flows ghost like.

" A, Deviant... at last awoken from slumber.
Where are the rest of your brothers and sisters?" She spoke and asked.

Treasure was stunned and afraid of the mare in front of him. She shows an incredible aura; even a non magic-proficient creature such as himself could feel the pressure she releases.

The shrouded mare waits patiently for the stallion to press X, but Bluebell would have woken up and seen the ghostly figure.

" Gh-g-ghost!" She screamed.

The ghostly mare sighed and frowned.

With a raise of her hoof, a bubble covered Bluebell, and it was silent once more.

"Hmmm... Interesting." The ghostly mare mumbled as she observed the bubbled-up Bluebell.

Treasure would snap out of his shock and quickly react to their situation. He quickly drew his sword and pointed it at the mare. " What do you want from us? Are you one of the warlord's mages sent to kill us!?"

His questions peaked the mare's curiosity, and she began pondering.

" This which you speak off. How curious..." She then looks at the bubbled mare, who has stopped yelling, is weak, and is now lying down and out of breath.

" And this lively mare, huh... I see now what must be done. She clapped her hooves, and a void emerged at the center of her gravity. It grew until everyone got swallowed up, then closed, leaving the village once more lonely and abandoned.

____________

Bubbles woke up in a frenzy, as if she were awakened from her sleep, when she was about to kill someone.

"Aaahhg! Bitch, I'll ki-!...? Where the hell am I?"

But before she could collect herself, she would be hugged by Bright. This shocked Bubbles, as if she'd seen a ghost.

" You're..." She couldn't finish her words. She cried and hugged her lover back.

" Where are we?" She asked.

" I think we are awake now, since everyone is here."

There, everyone was floating in what seemed to be outer space.

" Hi, boss." Bluebell waved with one hoof and the other at Cross's head, strangling him with her love and affection.

Treasure and Apple can be seen holding hands, and Tapper is floating and slowly fading away from envy and jealousy.

" Why am I even here..." His tears float out to space and shine like pearls.

He'd be answered by a voice echoing from who knows where.

"You are all here to fulfill your promised duties to your princess, is it not?"

There, at the center, a black hole spoke to them.

Everyone grew silent and had no means to react to what they were seeing.

The void they were in grew silent.

It was quite awkward.

" I have summoned you all so that you may once again keep that promise."

Everyone still remained silent.

"... As you can see-"

Bubbles would then cut her off and yell at the unknown being with a blade in her hoof.

" Show yourself so we may know who we are speaking with!"

The void was not shocked but relieved that someone had spoken.

"A Bubbles right hoof mare of madame Apple Jack. You have spoken."

Her blade shakes from a mere revelation of herself. Her eyes wide open, angered and in tears, teeth grinding in anger, uncontrollable feelings steaming out of her body.

Bright was surprised at how high a status she has, but shocked at her negative attitude toward it being revealed.

" H-How much do you know?" She asked.

" I know a lot, but I am not tactless as to reveal which one hides from others. A secret it shall be kept by me; do not worry," she assured Bubbles.

She began to weaken and overcome with sadness. Bright could only hug her and assure her that he was there for her.

"I know all of you, which I should not divulge so easily, right, Bright Light?"

Bright's reaction was different, as shame and fear were all over his face.
"Please, wise one, spare me. You know what I've done, and I wish to make it right. Give me this chance," he begged.

Bubbles would quickly remove him from hugging her and look into his eyes.

Fear and shame. It would only take him a second, or so, to look away from her.

" That's the second time you looked away from me."

" I'm sorry. What happened was truly shameful. Give me time, please."

At first, Bubbles gave a distasteful look at Bright, but soon she could not fault him on this, as she too has made mistakes she wishes she could change.

She'd hug him once more.

"... Thank you," he said to her.

The void continues: "I would like to comment on the rest of you, but there's not much to say about you four."

The void closed in on treasure.
" Treasure, the unwanted colt of a noble, abandoned by his parents and sent to the military, died within a month."

" And why the hell do you have to bring that up if there ain't much to say!?" He protested.

" Why? It's because it's necessary." She proceeds to hover towards Tapper.

"Hmm... A boring life you had. Very lewd of you." She then distanced herself from him.

" H-hey! Hey! Ponies will get the wrong idea about me!"

"Oh, do not worry, they don't."

Tapper became pale from embarrassment.

She proceeds to probe around Bluebell.

"the nameless knight of a puppet, born and raised by the controlling hands of Princess Midnight. The last of royal knights."

"Hey! Who are you calling a puppet? And I have a name, you know? It's Bluebell!"

The void would giggle and answer back coyishly, "No, it isn't."

Bluebell could only pout.

It was Cross's turn to be meddled with.
"Ahh, the famous healer, Red Cross. Always covered in blood. Is it because of the ponys you saved, or is it from your victims?"

"... Okay, you had your fun, you seem to know what's up. What are you god or something? Here to give us all our questions?" He furiatingly pointed out.

"God? No, draconicous perhaps. Its hard to tell, no? Anyway..." She sighed heavily as she went towards the apple.

" Poor pony, praying to a naive white fashionista, insane to the point of bewitching everyone."

Them mare still confused and worried as she listened to the void's voice.

She then floats to the center.

" I have set enough proof of my existence and knowledge to you all. Now my name revealed, no doubt in your heads i say who i am is not farfetched."

The same pony they saw wearing a shroud comes out of the black hole and revealed her face.

" I am Starlight Glimmer, and i have many names."
