Ch 12. Trauma That Few Carry Within

Previous ChapterNext Chapter

The door opened to the cargo hold. Twilight walked in and stood in the middle of it. She just stood there for a few seconds, until she screamed loudly in pain. She cried, letting her emotions out, letting out the pain that she had when she saw Dashie with a nude Faya. She dropped to her knees and punched the metal floor, denting it as her tears kept falling.

"Asshole! You told me not to worry! You lied! I should have never trusted you! You liar!" she screamed and cried.
She could feel her chest hurting. She felt her heart being broken into a million pieces.

'Why... why does this happen?!' she thought. 'Is it my fault? Did I push her away too much? She should know I lo...' she sat down, realizing something. "Stupid! YOU ARE FUCKING STUPID, Twilight!" Twilight pound her forehead in frustration.

She realized that Dashie only saw her as a friend, and Twilight herself made it that way. Sure, they had very awkward moments with each other, and even kissed in the nude, but they were only friends, and nothing more... well, in Dashie's eyes she believed.

'Dumbass, you have no right to be feeling like this. You aren't even dating Rainbow or showed even hint of love toward her! So if Rainbow fell in love with that big breasted egghead, then you shouldn't be sad! If you love her, prove it!'

"I have to tell her, show her." Twilight got up, and looked at the door. "I'll tell her. No matter what."

She was about to move forward, but she froze as a memory from the past filled her mind. She could see it, she was back in her home universe. She could feel it, the cold chilling air cutting through her body, her body was shaking.

"No..." Twilight shook her head. "NO, I'M NOT GOING BACK TO THAT DAY!"

Her memories were taking her back to the day that she lost her rainbow...


The once beautiful blue sky was now nothing but grey. There was a cold, bitter, harsh wind blowing across the dead world. The once green grass was all dried up, and the trees were barren and lifeless.

It was a desolate world. A bleak world as a massive red planet could be seen in the distance, it had crashed into this world causing devastation and death.

"Hold on!"

Within this dead world, there stood an old shrine, a temple, built a very long time ago, made to worship a rainbow star.

"Hold on, Rainbow!"

To this world and its people, the rainbow star was a blessing from the heavens. It was their hope and salvation, their goddess, who gave them a miracle and saved the planet and its people, saving them from what the goddess describes as The Fallen Watcher.

"She's gonna come, Rainbow! We're going to be saved!"

After saving them, the goddess left the world, never to be seen again, but many believed she will return when they needed her again.

"HOLD ON, RAINBOW! JUST HOLD ON!"

They created a temple for her, built in her honor and to worship her. The people were waiting, and praying that the rainbow star would return.

"Rainbow, please... just hang in there."

But during the "Red Fall" event, many come to terms that the goddess won't return to save them like before, instead believed only a chosen few will be saved.

"Please, just hang in there!"

Six children were picked to be saved. Placed in cryosleep after the Red Fall had hit. Those children will be placed into a VR world, where the AI known as Harmony will teach them everything they need to know when they meet the goddess. Many of the survivors believed the chosen will be saved by her and her rainbow light of.... hope...

"...Rainbow..."

...but they were wrong, as four of those children were killed when a fire broke out in the sleeping pods. It only left two children, and one of them had died.

"Rainbow..."

Twilight set Rainbow Dash on the cold and lifeless ground. Rainbow's body was badly burned as the only cyan fur that you could see was her arm, the rest? All charred beyond belief.

"Don't leave me..." she placed her head on Rainbow's chest. "I promise to find you...and I'll keep you to your promise. No matter what, even if it takes a lifetime, I'll see you again, Rainbow Dash." tears kept falling as she heard no reply from her.

"Dash..." her heart was breaking, because not only did Dash died, but also because she couldn't say it to her. Those three little words when Dash had no problem saying it to her. "I'm sorry..."

She held Dash's lifeless body up, carrying her as she kept walking out of the shrine's open area. She walked to the dead fields on the right. She arrived on the edge of it and stood there.

"I love you."

She looked down at Dash, seeing the burnt, lifeless body of the one she had loved since they first met. Her tears wouldn't stop, but she wiped them away.

"I love you!" Twilight shouted, hoping somehow Dash will hear her from the great beyond. "I LOVE YOU! I ALWAYS LOVED YOU! You're my first love, Rainbow. And... and you always will be..."

She was breaking down in tears, hugging Rainbow's lifeless body. She could still remember the day they met. Remembering how Dash made fun of long horn, so then in turn she made fun of Dash's small wings. Twilight hated in how Dash kept teasing her and insulting her. But as the time passed, she was starting to become friends with her... and soon, her feelings for Dash started to change. She loved her, but never told her. She hid it away and try to act cold and distant, and when she tried to confess her feelings to her, Rainbow was gone...

"You promised me, Rainbow." she looked at her dead body. "You said no matter what, no matter how far, or where, or when, we will see each other again, right?"

Twilight would stay there, holding Dash as her body started to decay, and the flesh and meat falling off the bones, but Twilight didn't care. She stayed with her until the smell of her rotten corpse was too much, and she couldn't bare it any longer. She buried her in a makeshift grave.

"I wanted to tell you my feelings... I'm sorry I didn't." Twilight lowered her head. Her vision was fading in and out of darkness as her weak body started to shut down. There was no food, or clean water to drink. Twilight was dying, but she didn't care, her rainbow was dead.

Twilight walked back to the shrine and sat down on the steps. As she sat there, across from her was the current Twilight as she was watching the memory play out. After all those years, she couldn't forgive herself for not saying those three words.

"Why? Why, even now, I can't show my love? What is wrong with me?" Twilight asked herself, looking down. "I'm so pathetic. A coward, a fucking coward who can't show their feelings. Why... why am I so scared?"

"Maybe it's because you're scared of losing your Rainbow a second time."

Twilight didn't hear the dark voice as she stood there. Soon, a dark star appeared behind her, and stepping out was a figure cloaked in darkness.

"Your love for others only brings death, does it not?" it said, placing its dark arms around Twilight's neck. "First, you lost your real mother, then your friends that you saw as sisters, then you lost the rainbow. Everything you love and care, you lose."

Twilight didn't hear the voice or its words. She didn't feel the dark figure holding her. She couldn't feel anything... but those dark words did start to echo in her mind. Making her believe she couldn't love anyone, that she will just lose them...

"I can't love Rainbow... I will just lose her."

"And you will, over and over and over, until there is nothing left."

"Nothing...left..."

"That's right. You are nothing but a cursed soul. That's why you should end it all." the dark figure said, as Twilight's mind was being corrupted. "Kill yourself. Lay out the past and embrace the hopelessness within. Only then will your curse end, and you be free. Free from.... hope!"

The figure started to choke Twilight, squeezing her neck, as Twilight didn't fight back. She's falling into the darkness of her thoughts.

"Free myself from the pain..." Twilight whispered, as she was choking herself in the real world.

"YOU ARE WRONG!" shouted a female voice filled with so much hope.

The dark figure was forced away as she felt the blinding light from above. She looked up and saw the white star, beaming its ray of hope down to Twilight. The star lowered, becoming the white female figure from before.

"Twilight, don't let the hopelessness in! Showing others your love can sometimes be hard and scary, but that's what makes life special! Life is worth living because of love!" the white figure said, as she was standing on the opposite side of the dark figure. "Without those things, then there won't be any hope! Hope for a new tomorrow. Hope for a new day. And hope for a future together."

"No..." Twilight said, looking down, her voice filled with nothing.

The white figure placed her hand under Twilight's chin, making her look up.

"You know I'm right. Because if I was wrong, then you wouldn't have kept fighting. You kept hope alive, so in turn it helped you to keep moving forward. Forward to meet..." she looked up as well, seeing a rainbow star. "Her..."

The darkness that was within Twilight faded, making her return to normal. She remembered this memory. It was the day that...

"I was saved. Saved by..."

Younger Twilight was on her side, she was feeling more cold as the seconds went by. She was dying, and she knew it, but that didn't stop her from not letting her hope to die out.

"Come on, Dash said that she will come for me."

She closed her eyes, getting sleepy. She was near death... until she felt something warm hitting her body. She slowly opened her eyes to see...

"Mom..." Twilight cried out, seeing Spark standing there and looking heart broken at her younger self.

Spark walked up to the young Twilight, who cried as she saw her.

"It's you....you came..."

Spark watched as the poor child pass out from exhaustion, but was breathing still. Spark bent down, picking the child up, and started to give her magical energy to help her recover.

"Not just a spark, but also..." Spark whispered, standing back up and slowly turning around. Twilight smiled as she reaches out to Spark, walking closer to her, wanting her to take her hand.

Before Twilight could reach her, the memory changed, showing her time with Spark and Dawn. Having a better life than the one she had before, having a mother she loved deeply and looked up to. Wanting to be like her, to be that same bright rainbow light that saved her. She wanted to saved others. Twilight couldn't stop smiling as she remembered all those wonderful memories.

The white figure smiled, seeing the hope within Twilight growing. Growing that, a faint white star started to form on Twilight's chest, along with tiny bit of white started to form at the tips of her hair.

"That's right. Never giving up on hope gave you a family, gave you a purpose to keep moving forward." the white figure smiled, as the black figure started to disappear. "The spark and hope are one and the same. They can never be separated. Because hope is always a spark waiting to ignite."

Twilight stood there, letting the happy memories of her past play, and the warm light of hope shining brightly in her heart.

"I will not give up." Twilight smiled. "I will keep moving forward, no matter how far, or no matter where. I-"

The dark figure growled and attack. It got a hold of the back of Twilight's head, digging its sharp fingers into her, making her bleed.

"SHE LIES! YOUR SO-CALLED HOPE LET HER DIE, DID IT NOT!?" it shouted. "THE ONE WHO CARED ABOUT YOU, AND YOU JUST LET HER DIE!"

Twilight could see it as she was forced on to her knees. She could see it... she could see...

"...hope..." Spark whispered, as she finished her sentence from before. She was dying as a huge hole was in her chest, her blood was leaking out, and her rainbow aura was fading.

"Mom..." Twilight was in tears, remembering Spark's death.

"YOU CAUSED THIS! IF YOU HAD DIED THAT DAY, THEN YOUR SO-CALLED MOTHER WILL STILL BE ALIVE!" the dark figure screamed as she pushed Twilight into the bloodly floor of Dawn's apartment. "HOPE CAN ONLY LEAD TO PAIN AND SUFFERING!"

"Stop it! You are wrong!" the white figure shouted back, as she charged forward to stop the dark one.

The dark figure raised its other arm, unleashing a black tide of darkness which formed into a black claw. It grabbed the white figure and held her in place.

"But I'm not, right, Twilight?" she said, lowering her dark face toward Twilight's ear. "Your love is the reason she is dead."
Twilight closed her eyes, the words hurting her as she heard her own voice saying that. She was cause of her mother's death, and she was, she knew it was true.

"Mom...I'm sorry." Twilight cried, lowering her head.

"You know, I'm right."

'...that's right. I killed my own mother, and I didn't deserve to be happy, or have a family...'

The dark figure smiled. "Not only did you killed her, but you also took away someone else's happiness."

"SPARK!?"

Twilight's eyes shot open. She was in her younger body as she was crying over Spark's dead body. She couldn't dare to look around. She couldn't as she heard those heartbroken screams from...

"SPARK! NO!"

From Dawn. Those cries were full of nothing but pain and sorrow, and the sound of them was killing Twilight's soul.

"Dawn..." Twilight closed her eyes, not wanting to see the heartbroken scene.

"And it's all your fault, Twilight." the dark figure said.

Twilight could feel herself falling into a depression. She can't ever show love to anyone, they will just die. They be taken away from her, she knew this. It was why she kept her distance from Dashie. She wanted to let her in, confess her feelings to her, but...

"I don't want to lose her..." she saw two times that she thought Dashie had died. She was angry at those who hurt Dashie, but also herself. "If I let her in... if I let her love me, then losing her will just..." she closed her eyes. 'Break me. It would break me. I can't...'

Twilight opened her eyes. She could feel her hope being extinguished.

"I can't love her. If I let her die, then her family... friends..." she could Dashie's little sisters, seeing the woman was rushing toward them before they exited Dashie's universe, no doubt was her mother. Seeing those three girls, Dashie's friends. Twilight didn't want them to suffer, suffer like Dawn did. "They will suffer... just like Dawn suffered, because of me."

"Exactly." the dark figure said, lowering itself behind Twilight, and hugging her. "Love is nothing but pain. And once you are broken, then you will realize that your Rainbow doesn't deserve a worthless, unloved creature. Let another woman love her, treat her better than you will ever do."

"Another woman..."

"Yes, a good woman, who won't lead her to a painful death. And she won't be in a relationship with a worthless being." the dark figure was smiling. "You saw it, you saw how she was looking at that smarter, prettier, more human woman. Why else was Dashiell on top of her, on top of that naked woman?"

'Why was she on top of Aaira's daughter, Faya?' Twilight thought. 'It was like they were going to-'

"That's right. They were going to make love, have sex, have passionate love between the two who have strong feelings for each other. Feelings that you can never have." the dark figure smiled, her arms around Twilight's chest.

"That's right, there's no other reason. She loves her. Not me." Twilight lowered her head.

"And that's why, you need to let her go."

The white figure could see it, she could see the hope almost gone from within Twilight. She needed to act quickly, or this last rewrite will end like the others.

"Shut up! You never understood love, you dummy!" she shouted, grabbing the wrist of the dark claw, stabbing her fingers into it. "Stop giving her those lies!"

"She is nothing, a worthless, pathetic, unloved creature! No one can love her!" the dark figure shouted.

"No, you are wrong!" the white figure looked at Twilight, as she was trying her hardest to hold onto her hope. "If you were right, then you would have noticed!"

The dark figure was confused when she heard that. "Noticed what!?"

But she didn't get her answer as the white figure broke free, ripping the claw arm in two. This made the dark figure scream in pain, backing away in pain. When the white figure landed, she quickly rushed over to the dark one, her fist at the ready.

"This!" the white figure punched the dark figure in the face, sending her flying away. "Even now, you never notice anything." she cracked her knuckles, but blushing as she did so. "...and I always hated that..."

She turned around, seeing Twilight in this memory world and the real world. She could see her still hurting herself in the real world. She walked over and gently held her, making her stop.

"Twilight, you don't have to listen to her. Remember these words that I will say."

She strokes Twilight's head, and smiled.

"Even if those memories make you sad, you've got to go forward, believing in the future. Even when you realize your loneliness, and about to lose all hope, those memories, no matter how painful they are, those memories will make you stronger." she looked over to the dark figure, seeing it glaring at her with hate... and something else. "You aren't alone because you have someone who loves you no matter what. Keep hope alive like you always do, and everything will be okay."

Twilight could feel a warmth entering her heart, making her feel like she has known this warmth for a long time.

"You are loved, my friend." the white figure smiled. "Let her in... and let her..."

Twilight's eyes opened, she looked around the cargo bay. She suddenly felt pain in her neck, making her touch it.

"What the fuck happened? Why is my neck hurting like this?"

She had no memory of what had happened to her. She just remembered that was she was going to... to...

"What was I going to do?" she scratch her head, but she quickly remembered something. She remembered why she was looking for Dashie, she needed her to comfort her about what she learned from Aaira... then she saw flashes of Dashie on top of a naked Faya. She remembered now. "Right... she fell in love with that egghead." she started to feel her heartbreaking again. "...I don't blame her, I never had a chance with Rainbow anyway. She's a human, while I'm a pony. Sure, I outclass that egghead Faya in the chest department." she pushed her chest out, proud of how big they were. "But she's a human. And Rainbow loves her. Rainbow would rather be with her." she let her head lower, closing her eyes.

Twilight was depressed, her heart was broke. She went over to a corner of the bay, and sat in it. She wanted to be alone now. She didn't need Dashie one bit to make feel better... better of learning...


"So, Spark is really dead..." Aaira said in a heartbroken voice. "This isn't good. This means Fayth is left uncheck to do whatever she wants... unless." she faced Twilight, giving her a serious look. "Hey, did you meet Spark's teammates?"

Twilight gave her a confused look. "Teammates? Mom had... teammates?"

Aaira didn't like that reply one bit.

"You don't know about her teammates? That's not good." she started to walk back and forth. "If you hadn't met them, then you must find them, and quick. They might not know Spark is dead, and they are the only ones that can stop Fayth now... unless..."

She stopped walking, and looked up at the ceiling, thinking. She finally lowered her head and face Twilight.

"I saw the power you have, you remind me of Spark so much in strength." Twilight's expression was serious, but her tail was wagging super hard when she heard that. "Spark told us her teammates are strong, but they told her she was beyond all of them, and you seem to be on that level. With her gone, that leaves you, her daughter, to take her place."

"Take her place..." Twilight like hearing those words, but what she heard next...

Aaira walked up to her, putting her hands on Twilight's shoulder.

"You need to find Fayth and end it. If you don't, then everything is doomed. She is too strong for anyone but you. If you don't stop her, then everyone and everything will die. You have the power to stop her. Your power is the key to stopping her."

Twilight remembered Void telling her that she was going to help fulfill her mother's dream in ending everything. She thought Void was just bullshitting her, but if what Aaira was saying is true...

"I can't do it, I'm not my mother. I can't stop Fayth." she replied, feeling overwhelmed in the burden she was given. "I'M NOT! I TRIED, BUT I CAN'T BE! I CAN'T SAVE EVERYONE! I CAN'T SAVE YOU ALL!"

"You're not Spark." Aaira said, looking her straight in the eyes. "But everyone and everything is now counting on you, to save the entire multiverse. And not only that, but the future generations will have their lives saved as well. Everyone is counting on you. You are the only hope we have left. We are counting on you." she let her go.

Twilight didn't like this. She indeed wanted to be her mother, but not like this. Not to be given such a heavy burden and task. This was too much, far too much. She can't. She can't save the entire multiverse, she's just a mare...

'I'm not her...'

AJ could see the stress that her friend was in, and the pressure put on her. She didn't like seeing her friend in such a state. So, she walked over to her, and placed her hand on her shoulder.

"Twilight, it's okay. You aren't-"

"SHUT UP!" Twilight screamed, shoving AJ away, as she looked at her. Her eyes were full of anger, sadness, and stress. "DON'T SAY THOSE WORDS! I'M NOT A FUCKING COWARD! I DON'T NEED YOUR DAMN PITY! I'M NOT GOING TO LET MYSELF BECOME ONE!" soon, her horn started to spark, and her eyes glowed purple.

AJ was shocked. This will be third time she saw Twilight in such a state before, but she quickly calmed down. She took a step forward.

"Twilight, please calm down. I didn't mean to make you feel like this. But please, calm down. You are losing control."

AJ took another step, but was quickly forced back. Twilight used her magic and shoved her away.

"CALM DOWN!? CALM THE FUCK DOWN!? I AM CALM!" Twilight yelled, as the sparks around her horn were growing.

Aaira's helmet closed itself, and was getting ready for a fight. She didn't like where this was going. She eyed Kelly, who was cursing her out for starting something.

"What the fuck, Aaira!? We're putting all our hope in an emotional, unstable, and insane unicorn, and you are expecting us to not get worried!?" Kelly shouted, as she was preparing her gun.

AJ got between them, shield Twilight.

"Stop, don't say or do anything else! Twilight has problems, but she's getting better!" AJ shouted, trying her best to protect her friend.

Twilight slowly saw through her rage, seeing the fear she was causing. This made her magical powers fade away, making her normal again. "I'm fine, AJ. I just need some fucking time, and space." Twilight replied, lowering her head.

Without saying anything else, she left the bridge and started to look for Dashie. She needed her to tell her things will be okay, and give the encouragement that she always did.


Twilight opened her eyes as she remembered it. She was the last hope of saving the whole multiverse. She didn't want that kind of pressure.

"I don't care about the multiverse. I can't do this. I can't save anyone." she lowered her head, closing her eyes. "I couldn't save the two most important people in my life, so how the fuck can I save the whole multiverse, which is more important than me. I'm just a worthless piece of shit. No one loves me, so I should end it. End it all..."

Twilight was feeling nothing but hopelessness. She lost all hope in everything... until she heard the cargo doors open, and hearing someone rushing in.

"TWI!? ARE YOU IN HERE!?"

Twilight quickly raised her head up, her ears twitching as she heard Dashie calling out to her. She felt so happy that she almost stood up, but remembered what happened with Dashie. She sat back down, hoping Dashie won't find her as she behind boxes that were in the corner.

'Don't find me...' Twilight was feeling nervous. 'I don't want you to see after seeing being on top of naked girl.' she hid her face, wanting to cry. 'I want that to be us, but she doesn't love me. She would rather have that egghead, who's a human. Why can't she love me?'

The sound of footsteps were getting louder, making Twilight shake as they got closer.

'No, don't find me. Please, I beg you...'

The footsteps came to a stop, and the silence was the only thing that was there. Twilight kept her head down, hoping Dashie was gone, but she heard her speak.

"Twi? Please, you must be here. I ran across this ship in ten seconds flat, and this is the only place I haven't checked. If you aren't here, then where could you be?"

Dashie looked around, but she couldn't see Twilight anywhere. This made her worry more.

"Twi, come on. Please, I need to talk to you. I know I'm the reason why you're hurting, and I want to fix it. So please, show yourself."

Nothing, Dashie sighed and sat down on the floor. She punched it, hating herself for hurting Twilight like that.

"I told you nothing was going to happen, yet I couldn't keep my word. I'm sorry, Twi. I'm a terrible friend. I can't do anything right, not even keep a promise. I'm a piece of shit. Furthermore, I don't deserve your friendship."

Twilight slowly raised her ears, making them twitch as she heard that. 'What? Why is she acting like that? We're just friends so her being with another girl and like they were going to fuck shouldn't matter how I feel. So, why does she feel like that? Is it because she cares about me? No, I shouldn't get my hopes up, and should keep my distance.'

Twilight was trying to hold onto those feelings. It was hard, and her feelings for Dashie were getting harder to ignore.

"You're wrong, Rainbow."

Dashie turned her head, facing Twilight. She saw her in the corner, hidden among boxes.

"Twi, I'm sorry." Dashie shouted, rushing to her but...

"YOU SHOULDN'T BE ACTING LIKE THIS! SO STOP IT! STOP HURTING YOURSELF, JUST STOP!"

Twilight was shouting, but also crying. She couldn't believe Dashie was hurting herself. Dashie was a great person, a caring person, and someone who was always there for her. She shouldn't be chaining Dashie down, especially after what happened.

"Stop acting like we're more than friends, you dork! If you fell in love with someone else, stop worrying what others think." Twilight couldn't look her in the eyes.

Dashie stopped, confused. "...but you said-"

"I was joking you idiot! Friends make those kinds of jokes!" Twilight shouted, looking down. "And you should have laughed, like I was. I didn't mean none of it. I was joking, and nothing else. So, stop worrying about me, and worry about your new girlfriend."

"But she's not my girlfriend."

"Oh, really? Then what were you doing on top of her while she was naked? Were you going to fuck her, or not?" Twilight said, sounding annoyed.

Dashie couldn't say anything.

"Yeah, exactly. She is your girlfriend, so you don't have to worry about me, or any other woman, and you shouldn't be."

Dashie shook her head. "Twi, you're wrong. Faya isn't my girlfriend, nor will she ever be. I'm not interested in her. If I was, then I wouldn't have been looking for you." she sat in front of her. "I care about you. I didn't want you to leave, thinking that I was cheating on you. That's why I chased after you."

"What are you talking about? Cheating!? We're just friends! Stop acting like we're lovers." Twilight said back, even more annoyed. "I never told you anything about loving you."

There was an awkward silence between the two, until...

"...but do you?" Dashie said, in a quiet voice.

Twilight's ear twitched, her head quickly raising to look at her.

"W-What did you say?"

Dashie blushed, as her eyes darted around. "Um, well, do you love me?"

Twilight could feel her heart beating, as she started to sweat. She tried to find the right words to say, but none came out.

'Why can't I say it, just say it! Don't think of the bad, just say it!'

"No. I only like you as a friend. We're not lovers, and never will be. So, stop with that."

The moment those words left Twilight's mouth, her heart started to hurt. Dashie lowered her head, and was sad. It became silent between the two again.

'So, I'm just a friend, huh.' Dashie said, feeling down. She looked at Twilight, she needed to know something. "Okay, let's say if we did love each other, would you want to be together?"

Twilight looked to her, her heart beating faster. "N-No. We can't. It's impossible."

Dashie became hurt. "Why is it impossible?"

Twilight looked away. "Because we're different, okay? You shouldn't be dating me, but your own species."

Dashie wasn't having that, so she stood up, and got close.

"That's bullshit, and you know it. If I loved a girl, then I would be with her. I don't care if she's a horse, a human, or something else."

"But it's wrong! You can't be with 'me'. I'm not human, and I can't change that." Twilight shouted, as she too stood up, and got close to her. "You are better off fucking and loving Faya than me."

Twilight didn't realize that her chest was touching Dashie's face as she was buried in it.

'Oh, god. I'm touching her breasts, I'm touching her breasts. They are warm and soft. And her scent is amazing. Wait, I'm losing focus!' Dashie quickly thought. She pop out her face from between Twilight's boobs, looking at her. "I told you, Faya isn't my girlfriend! Only girl I want to be with is with y-"

Twilight hugged her, stopping her from saying anything else.

"Don't say it." she whispered.

Dashie hugged her back.

"Why not?" Dashie paused. She realized Twilight... "...you like me, don't you?"

Twilight nodded. "I have liked you for a long time, Rainbow. But I can't love you."

Dashie's heart was starting to beat faster. "Why is that?"

"I can't tell you..." she held her harder, making Dashie more into the between her tits. "I want to, but I can't..."

Dashie held her harder as well. "It has to do something with the traumas you are carrying, right? I have been there with you since day one, and we've gotten close." she pushed herself more into her boobs, her head getting lost in them. "Let me in...talk, please..."

'This feels nice. Her tits are so soft, and her scent is amazing.' Dashie thought again, she couldn't help it. Being so close to Twilight made her feel so...safe, happy, and at peace. 'It's like this is where I'm meant to be. Like my spot is between her boobs.'

Dashie's cheeks were red, but soon faded as she heard Twilight's voice. "...did you two fu-"

"NO!" Dashie shouted back, her face popping out of the boobs again. "Nothing-" she remembered the tit fuck that happened with Faya. "-happened... We weren't doing anything, I swear. I don't like her, and I love you. Only you."

"Then what happened, why were you on top of her while she was naked?" Twilight asked, feeling curious.

Dashie took in a deep breath, and exhaled. She needed to tell her the truth.

"She... has something in her head, a Pillar she calls it..." Dashie went on to explain everything. "...and she started to freak out, or lose it. I hugged her hoping she will calm down, and we must have fallen to the floor. Then-"

"...and I came in, right?" Twilight finished for her, as her cheeks turned red.

Dashie's face went red as well. "...um, yeah."

The two looked at each other. Both of them had hearts beating, and blushing. The silence between them was so much that the two started to get closer, Twilight bending down and Dashie trying her hardest to get closer but because of her short height, it was a challenge. The two got closer and closer until their lips touched.

It was a small kiss, a simple and sweet one, but the two could feel it. It was a wonderful feeling that both felt, making them blush harder. Twilight broke the hug and step back.

"You love me, right?"

Dashie's response was the quickest she ever had. "Yes, I love you. I have loved you since meeting you. Even if it seems wrong, I love you, and want to be with you."

Twilight was stunned in how quick Dashie was in telling her. She couldn't help but smile and chuckle.

"That's a quick response." she replied, feeling her heart flutter. She started to act like a real girl than herself. "...turn around. D-Don't look at me."

Dashie tilted her head, but did what she was told. "Okay..."

Twilight took a deep breath, and exhaled. She took off her jacket...

Dashie was wondering what Twilight was doing. "Can I look now?"

"Just a little bit longer, please." Twilight answered. She was taking off her bra, leaving her bare-chested. "Almost..." she kept going, until she was fully naked. She blushed and was embarrassed. 'Oh, boy. What am I doing? I should put my clothes back on, but I can't. My body is telling me to not...' she closed her eyes, taking a deep breath. 'This is it. This is my choice, and I'm choosing this.' she opened her eyes. "Okay, you can turn around now."

Dashie turned around and faced Twilight, seeing her... "Wh-" she became red. "W-Why are you n-n-naked?"

Twilight chuckled. "Because... I'm choosing you."

Twilight stepped towards Dashie, putting her arms around her. Dashie blushed, as she saw the bare-chested mare. She saw her breasts, her nipples, her smooth body, her ab stomach, her...

"Twi..."

Twilight forced themselves backwards on to the cold metal floor. Dashie found herself back in the same position as with Faya, but this time it was Twilight. Dashie's face was between her breasts again, and could smell her natural scent. She was enjoying every bit of this, making her go crazy.... she could feel her penis getting hard.

"Twi, wait, I have to tell you something." Dashie shouted, pushing herself away from her as she placed her hands over her growing penis.

Twilight sat up, looking worried. "What is it? Did I do something wrong?"

Dashie quickly put her back to her. She looked down, seeing her penis standing up, hard and ready as it push the fabric of her running leggings. She felt embarrassed and ashamed. Dashie felt so scared, as Twilight didn't know about her penis.

"You have to tell her, little sugar stick." AJ's voice echo in Dashie's head.

"I won't tell, Dashie. But it's best you tell her sooner than later." Faya's voice followed. "If you don't, it will be harder for you to tell her."

Dashie couldn't help but agree.

"Twi... um..." Dashie started, her heart was pounding, and her hands were shaking as she covered her erection. "I have to tell you something."

Twilight became curious. "What is it?"

"Um, well, the thing is..." she eyed her a bit. "I have a... secret, and I should have told you a long time ago, but I didn't. And now, I don't know what to do. So, I'm going to show you."

"Okay, and what is this secret?"

Dashie couldn't look at her, but she answered as she painfully turned around slowly. "I was born as a normal girl, but when I hit puberty... um, things changed." she paused, closing her eyes. "I have a..." she opened her eyes, but stopped talking as Twilight had her hand out.

'She's like Rainbow Dash, having a condition I bet, but since it's Rainbow, I bet...' she smiled. "I understand."

Dashie blinked. "...you do?"

Twilight nodded. "Yup, but don't worry. I'll make fun of you for it!" she was seeing her Dash in front of her now, seeing those small wings. Remembering how they teased and made fun of each for their conditions.

Dashie slowly looked away, her back facing Twilight. Hearing Twilight saying that broke her heart. Here she thought she finally found someone who would love her, but she was wrong. Her worst fear came true, someone making fun or hating her for having a penis.

'I'm an idiot, a dumbass, fucking stupid. She won't love me. No one will. Why did I think I would find a woman, or anyone, to accept me for who I am?' she could feel her penis going soft, allowing her to finally face Twilight with tears in her eyes. "Never mind... forget what I said."

Twilight snapped out of it, seeing Dashie now, but seeing her looking so... hurt, badly hurt. "Rainbow? Why are you crying?"

Dashie shook her head, as she quickly wiped her tears away. "I'm not, and I won't."

Twilight stood up, getting close. "Are you okay, Rainbow?" she reach out t her, wanting to wipe those tears away.

But Dashie slapped her hand away from her. "I'm fine!" she walked out of the corner, but stopped. She clutch her hands hard as she spoke again. "I love you, Twi! And I'll show you it one day, even if you call me awful things, or even dislike me for having one! I love you and I don't want to keep hiding it from you. I don't wanr to hide things from each other!"

Twilight didn't understand. "I never said I hated or dislike you, Rainbow."

Without warning, Dashie faced her... a powerful aura surrounding her as her face was filled with rage. "BUT YOU SAID YOU'LL MAKE FUN OF ME! THAT'S THE SAME AS HATING OR DISLIKE ME FOR HAVING ONE!"

Twilight's eyes widen as she saw the rage coming from Dashie. She never saw her like... this! She realized she fucked up.

'She's not my Rainbow Dash, so whatever condition she has... shit.' she realized she fucked up big time. "Rainbow, listen. I'm sorry. I didn't mean to say that. I wasn't... see, I... damn..."

She had no words. She could only lower her head.

"I'm a fuck up... and everyone thinks I can be like my mother? I can't save the whole multiverse!" she backed away, her back facing Dashie. She held herself as her emotions, the stress, the weight of the whole multiverse on her shoulders... "...I'm just a failure. That's all I am, nothing else. I even hurt you by mistake..."

Dashie rage was gone as she saw how much Twilight was hurting, and how her emotions were all over the place. She knew something was up with her, and needed to know.

"What's going on, Twi?" but Twilight shook her head, as she didn't answer. Dashie hated that, she hated not fully being there for her. "Twi, talk to me. What happened?" she walked over and hug her from behind. "Even if you hurt me, or don't love me back, I will always be here. I'm never going to leave your side."

Twilight wanted to cry, and cry she did. She cried hard, she could feel her chest being compressed, the weight of her stress and trauma... going away as she finally let it as she spun around, hugging Dashie.

"I can't do it, Rainbow! I'm not my mom, I can't fucking go against Fayth! Sure, I want to kill her for what she did, but learning that Void wasn't bullshitting about helping her mom destroying the multiverse, and how the fuck am I supposed to handle that shit! Aaira said EVERYONE AND EVERYTHING is counting on me now! The fucking weight is too much!" she kept going.

Dashie held her as tight as she could. She let her vent, but also felt bad for her. Twilight was carrying so much, and she thinks no one was there for her. No wonder she was like this, no wonder her emotions are a mess.

"You aren't alone in this, Twi." Dashie let her go and looked up at her, smiling sadly. "And I bet AJ said the same thing. You have friends who are here to help you, so stop thinking or acting you don't have us."

"I know, but..."

Dashie raised her hands, wiping Twilight's tears from the bottom of her chin.

"But nothing. You got me and AJ, so no worries! We're here to help you."

Twilight smiled, seeing Dashie smiling made her smile.

"Thank you, Rainbow. I mean it." she leaned down, kissing her. Dashie happily kissed back... but sadly broke it. She started to explain what had happened, telling her how she needed to find her mother's teammates.

Dashie listened, understanding everything.

But as the two were talking, Faya was eavesdropping on them. She was worried about Dashie and Twilight, thinking she placed a wrench in their relationship. She felt like it was her fault, but became glad to hear them not fighting.

'Good, they're talking.' Faya smiled. She slowly backed away, not wanting to interrupt them. 'I hope Twilight knows that Dashie is the one for her, and no other.' she exited the cargo bay and walked to the bridge, but she started to feel sad. "I should apologize to her, I did cause that mess between them..."

As she walked down the hallway, her head started to hurt. Not just hurt, but like her head was going to burst open.

"W-What...?"

She fell on the wall, holding her head. She felt her mind is burning, and wanted to scream for help, but couldn't. Not only that, but she became scared as the lights slowly started to go out one by one.

"This isn't..."

The darkness finally reached her, the last light flickering before her vision went dark. She couldn't see anything... and then... she started to hear voices.

"Make us whole..."

It was the Pillar again, trying to reach out to her, but this time it was different. She was still on the ship as far she could tell, but she could hear something else than just the voices.

"Make us whole... sister..."

She could hear what sounded like gunfire. She moved through the darken hallway slowly. As she moved, purple laser beams shot toward her but missing.

"Ahhh!"

She ducked in time, covering her head. The fire kept coming, the sound of screams following it.

"Make us whole, sister... we need you..."

She heard beam firing stopped, so she rose her head... only to be blasted by kinesis. Her body was covered in a blue aura, slowing her fall to the ground. But before she could hit the ground, her body stopped. She could tell someone was in control of the kinesis as her body rose up to the air.

"Make us whole, sister... help me burn this godforsaken universe..."

She was looking around, hoping to see who was doing this.

'Please, stop...' she couldn't move her arms or legs, the feeling of being trapped.

"Help me..."

She suddenly saw a figure in the darkness. Whoever it was, they were getting closer and behind them was the Pillar. It glowed as its runes gave off the light.

"Make us..."

Faya was quickly pulled toward the figure, and was face to face with...

"M-Mom!?"

She could her mother in her HULL suit. Aaira grabbed Faya by her neck and got closer, her helmet's grill lights blasted Faya's face, blinding her.

"WHOLE!"

Aaira's helmet burst open, revealing the bloody inside of her skull. It was filled with maggots and worms, eating her flesh and brains.

"Ahhhhh!"

Faya finally woke up, gasping for air. She looked around, seeing she was in the same hallway. She dropped to her knees, crying.

"It was a dream, it was a dream, it was a dream..."

She sat there, trying to calm herself, but couldn't. It felt so real, too real. She needed someone.

"I need Dashie..." she stood up and ran to the cargo bay, where she left the two. But the moment she stepped in, she stopped.

Faya could hear the two talking, she could see Dashie outside the corner blushing like crazy as Twilight was red as she was putting on her clothes behind the boxes.

"...so, we're both on the same page, right?" Twilight asked, putting on her bra. "We love each other, but we're not ready to be in a relationship."

Dashie nodded. "Yeah, totally. We're both not ready, and want to take our time. So, we should get to know each other more."

Twilight finished getting dressed. "Agree, I want us to learn about each other, and get to know our likes and dislikes. ...but gonna take time as we both have things to deal with... to finally tell each other, right?"

Dashie looked down, seeing her soft cock, twitching as she couldn't help it as she couldn't get Twilight's naked body out of her mind.

"Yeah, we have issues that we need to deal with." she saw Twilight walking up to her side. Dashie gave her a sad smile, "But when we learn to deal with our issues, then maybe we can finally be together."

"Yeah, when that time comes, then we can be a couple." Twilight smiled.... but that smile slowly became a frown. "...or not. If we can't deal with each other problems..."

The two were quiet for a moment, not knowing what to say. They both just looked at each other, their hands close to each other.

"...let's not think about that. Let's think we will, no matter what." Dashie smiled, putting her hand on top of hers.

Twilight blushed. She wanted to squeeze Dashie's hand, but was still a bit hesitant. As the two stood there, between them, the white figure slowly rose. She had the biggest grin.

"Kiss again~!"

They didn't see or hear her, but the two felt the urge.

Dashie's heart started to beat, and so did Twilight. The two had a feeling of wanting to kiss, but...

"We should get back to the others." they both said, letting go of each other hands.

The white figure grunted in annoyance and crossed her arms.

'Come on, kiss. Just a little kiss will do, no one is here!' she wanted to interfere, but she knew she couldn't. 'I hope you start noticing me soon, Twilight. Not able to do anything if you don't.'

Twilight and Dashie, along with the figure, left the cargo bay and the door closed behind them. But hiding behind some boxes, Faya saw the whole thing. She felt bad, really bad.

"Those two, why are they hesitating so much? Don't they see their feelings for each other?" she felt like a fool for interfering between them. "Good heaven, this is my fault. If I didn't come in, maybe those two could have been together sooner." Faya stood up, filled with determination. "Okay, I need to make up for it. I need to help them get together. How do I do it?" she paused, thinking.

But as she started to think, the cargo bay became covered in darkness. Faya quickly her ears, and closing her eyes as she started to hear the voices again...


"You really think we can trust that girl... pony? Mare?" Kelly questioned, still not use to seeing talking human pony as she set the ship into autopilot as it flew through the warp hole jump. "We don't know anything about her, and you expect me to trust her. To put our whole universe and others' universe in her hands."

Aaira was in the co-pilot seat, but not looking at Kelly as she was busy writing in her journal. She didn't answer, which pissed Kelly off.

"Hey, I'm talking to you!" Kelly snapped.

"We don't have a choice." Aaira closed her journal, sighing. "Without Spark, we're fuck. With her, we have a chance."

Kelly pointed at her. "And how is that going to help, huh? She clearly has issues, and if she is what I think she is... then it's going to get worse."

Aaira faced her, not liking her tone. "What do you mean by that?"

Kelly chucked under her breath in annoyance. "Being with you since what happened in that city space station, that girl is a ticking time bomb. If she goes off, then it's all over."

Aaira knew what she meant. She could remember how the Pillar was slowly making her go mad, just like the others who were effected by the Pillar signal at the time. So many died that day, all for unlimited energy.

"Don't compare my issue with hers, Kelly! That girl lost her mother at a young age, and she's having trouble dealing with it. It's a different issue." Aaira growled.

"Yeah, well, I have news for you. It's the same thing!"

The two looked at each other and were glaring. They wanted to go off at each other, but AJ coughed, making the two turn back to see her sitting on the floor as a centaur of her size couldn't any way fit in a normal human-size seat.

"If you two are done, we need to discuss something." AJ said.

Kelly and Aaira looked at each other, giving each other a glare still. Kelly didn't look away, but Aaira did, not wanting to have an argument with her. She asked AJ want she wanted to talk about.

"Twilight has problems, but I trust her. I believe she can do it, in stopping this Fayth person. Plus, I don't like someone talking down to my friend like that." AJ replied, looking at Kelly. "Acting like you know her, and thinking she will fail us. You're wrong, she won't fail."

"Yeah, right. How do you know that, huh?" Kelly asked. "And surprised you are telling us she's your friend, after what she did to-"

AJ stood up with her front hooves. She looked very angry.

"Twilight might seem cold or act harsh to others, but she cares. I know it! She's been through a lot, and I trust her. If I didn't, I wouldn't have been her here, or be helping her." AJ paused. "I will be here for her, I will not abandon her." she placed her arm over her chest, taking a knight stance. "That's not what a friend does."

Kelly shook her head. "How sweet, you really are naive. And the fact you're a fucking half horse, makes it so much more sweeter." she said sarcastically.

AJ became even angrier, her fists clenched hard. She wasn't liking this Kelly person not one bit. Before she could respond, the doors opened revealing Twilight and Dashie as they entered. The two could tell something was up.

"Everything okay here, guys?" Dashie asked.

The two were silent. AJ was the only one to speak.

"Yup, we were just chatting." she replied.

Kelly started to mumble under breath, annoyed at the situation. Aaira told them to not pay attention to her.

"She's just upset, that's all. I'll handle it."

Twilight nodded, but she knew why. She let it be, while Dashie noticed that the ship was in a warp hole jump.

"Oh, cool! Never been in one before, this is so cool." Dashie smiled.

"Heh, well, this isn't the best kind." Aaira admitted. "We're still using the one old drives, newer ones are much faster, but we will reach there soon enough."

"Soon enough?" Twilight asked, curious.

Aaira pressed a few buttons as the ship was about to exit the jump. "We're heading to Earth's city space station that orbits around the moon. It's a big city that houses and provides homes and resources for over a billion people." she explained. "We're heading there because I think Amelia Jarvis can help. She had help Spark in the past, and a few years back she was gone for a few months. She told us that Spark's teammate, Suguri needed help on something. So if anyone know where that group is, it is her."

Kelly was listening, she looked like she was in thought. "And how do you know Amelia will help, Aaira? She might not even know where Spark's group is."

"Maybe, but it's worth a shot."

As she said, the ship exited out of hyper jump. Dashie saw the space station from the window, but also the moon.

"Wait, is that the moon? Holy shit!" Dashie was smiling. "Wow!"

As the massive station was orbiting the moon, the moon itself had cities all over the surface. Turning the white surface to a surface filled with endless lights.

"I take it your Earth hasn't fully colonized the moon, Dashie." Aaira assumed.

"Nope, we were able to go up to space, and we can even land on Mars, but not colonized the moon yet. But my grandmother was planning to do it."

"I see...wait." Aaira heard that last part and faced Dashie. "Grandmother was planning to do it?"

Before Dashie could reply, the computer screens all turned red. A robotic voice came on and explained what was happening as the ship had increased its speed and was rocketing toward the station at a dangerous speed.

"Warning, emergency thrusters engaged. Warning, collision course with city space station. Warning-"

"What the fuck!? Kelly!" Aaira shouted, trying to shut down the engines.

"No clue what happened! Everything is offline! I can't shut down the emergency thrusters!"

Aaira looked at the screens, the station was in view and was getting closer. She tried to slow down the ship, but nothing worked.

"Fucking shit!"

Everyone was holding on, trying not to fall...


...else where, in the ship's engine room. Faya walk away as the engine's control panel was messed with. She stopped, and started to cry and laugh.

"Make us whole! MAKE US WHOLE!"
