Arvikang stared at the cowering, purple unicorn before him. Never in his life had he been so furious at a single being. This species is so idiotic I would be doing them a favor if I killed them all! he thought, regardless of the consequences of Celestia's spell. But nothing happened. Arvikang thought rapidly that it could be because he was inside his own mind, but maybe... maybe it was because he thought of doing harm to the ponies, not in an overly aggressive way, but in a way that meant he had the ponies best interest at heart. Arvikang grinned, but the smile wasn't genuine. Now to figure out what Twilight was doing in his head in the first place... Arvikang immersed himself in the Dark-Side and viewed Twilight's memories.
-- 1 hour ago at Rarity's shop...

"I didn't mean for the gentleman to faint, I just suggested this fine suit and he fainted..." Rarity blubbered in concern for Arvikang.

"Its not your fault Rarity, Sith are peculiar and to them wearing something like what you showed Arvikang would, well they would probably rather go through torture, or become a Jedi than wear that. No offence to the suit of course." Tenron said in a reassuring manner.

What had happened was this. After Arvikang's last freak out, Tenron, Twilight, and Arvikang had proceeded on to visiting Rarity, the pony Arvikang probably despised most. As soon as they had walked in, Rarity had fashioned an elegant tuxedo meant for human proportions. She had asked Arvikang to try it on and whether it was the thought of wearing the suit or something else, Arvikang had promptly fainted. Currently Twilight was attempting to revive him with magic, with little success.

Then suddenly she shouted in triumph. " I did it, I accessed his mind. He appears to be dreaming, but what I don't know... Maybe I could go inside and..."

Before she could continue Tenron cut her off saying " A Sith, even a Sith Apprentice's mind is corrupted with the Dark-Side of the Force. If you enter Arvikang's you could be mentally scarred by his memories or -worse!- somehow be seduced to the Dark-Side. I'm not sure if ponies can be Force-Sensitive or not but the last thing we need is another Dark-Side adept running around unchecked." Tenron paused for breath and Twilight took the opportunity to speak.

" Yeah, but I might be able to find out something about him, and as a bonus I would look out for any secret Sith war plans. Please!?" Twilight begged, her large eyes sparkling.

" Well... I suppose, but be careful and only look at thoughts and memories that are not tainted by the Dark-Side." Tenron said finally relenting.

With that Twilight's horn glowed and suddenly her consciousness was was inside Arvikang's. It was an insane mess inside it. From what Twilight could tell she was floating in black void, surrounded by numerous portals. Across the entrance of the portals she could see things happening, mostly of war and fights. With a start Twilight realized they were Arvikang's memories. She attempted to focus her magic in order to label the memories in some way. It was partially successful. Instead of labels each portal was now ringed by either red or blue light. Some of them had red and blue light, but most were red all the way through. As Twilight looked she ended up seeing a pattern. The farther to one direction she drifted, the more the rings were blue. This must have been Arvikang's memories from before he had gone all Sith. However before she could go into one, she suddenly saw Arvikang drifting through the void of his own mind.

"A-Arvikang?" Twilight asked carefully "Are you alright."

No answer. Maybe if she showed Arvikang one of his own memories he would wake up. It was worth a shot, and maybe as a bonus Twilight could learn more about his past. Gently she eased Arvikang's limp body through the nearest blue portal, then Twilight entered cautiously. If she had looked more carefully she would have seen a small, but intense streak of red on the portal. But Twilight didn't notice too stunned at what she saw. It was a thirteen year old Arvikang! Twilight was so caught up in the memory that she didn't notice the present Arvikang vanish. After watching past Arvikang chat with the older man, Twilight noticed that they looked more like Tenron in the way of clothing. Twilight realized that they were Jedi! After a while the two ran off and Twilight followed, marveling at the world around her. It was a rocky world, but she could see several trees as well, their leaves dried up on the ground and the branches bare of anything. It was also, very very hot. As in eat a big bowl of ice-cream, and take a cold shower with ice and still be hot, kind of hot. Finally she reached the Jedi's destination. It was a small village, made up of simple wooden buildings with straw roofs. There was obviously a town square with several merchant stands set-up. But nobody was selling today. People ran for their live's red bolts light flying everywhere. Twilight watched as a pair of 9 year old children were cut down, severe burns on their backs. Twilight ran to help, then remembered that it had already happened and this world was just a memory. Finally the Jedi started fighting, and with their incredible lightsaber skills and the Force, the two Jedi had killed all of the pirates. Except one which Twilight could see was pulling out one of the strange light-firing weapons. Before she could cry out the pirate shot the older Jedi in the back. Young Arvikang went utterly berserk. For three days, but what seemed like minutes to Twilight, Arvikang tortured the Chiss. The details were too horrid for her to look at and Twilight had to look away for a second. When she looked up, Twilight felt a small tremor in Arvikang's mind and suddenly, present Arvikang stood over her, rage in his eyes. His proper mind must have awakened and now he had caught Twilight snooping on probably his darkest secret.

"I found you..." Arvikang growled in an ominous voice.
-- Arvikang's POV

Arvikang came back to the present with a start. So Twilight had decided to search his mind, without his permission. Still he had to admire Twilight's courage, very few people would be brave enough to look at a Sith's mind.

" P-Please Arvikang don't h-hurt me." Twilight whimpered in fear at the Sith before her.

"Hurt you? Why I won't hurt you. You accidentally viewed one of my stronger memories and was driven to the point that all bodily functions ceased from an overload of Dark-Side energy." Arvikang said calmly and with an evil light in his eyes.

" But we're in your mind, you can't hurt me cause I'm not really hear." Twilight said with defiance now gleaming in her eyes. " Just like your misfortune curse won't function since we're here."

"On the contrary your mind is here which means if I destroy it, your body will die. Or at the very least turn into a mindless shell." Arvikang said with a smirk.

"Then I'll just teleport out of here." Twilight said with some amount of smugness. But attempting to exit Arvikang's mind didn't work the first time. Or the second, or the third time. "Why won't my abilities work?" Twilight asked in confusion and fear.

With a knowing smile Arvikang answered saying, " Allow me to shed some light on the subject..."

Author's Note

Here's chapter 9 and I hope you like it. Hopefully I can get another chapter in this weekend. Now we have to theories as to why Twilight's abilities don't work. First is either she's force sensitive and magic and the force don't mix well so, Arvikang starts teaching her the Dark-Side in secret. Or Arvikang is just clouding her abilities with the Force and a whole different event takes place in the story. Though this mystery event will happen no matter what, it will not appear til later if you vote for the first option.
