Chapter 6 - Peace of Mind, Not Really, More Like 'Die Bitch!'

Previous ChapterNext Chapter

"Sombra, I'm really starting to hate you!" I shouted, causing the old pony behind the curtain, in the bed, behind me, jump. "Erm, who's there? You're not back to steal my slippers are you?" I facepalmed, I sat on the bed, which was trouble on it's own, because Sombra kept on trying to take over my body. 'Just let me control you, damn it!' I smiled in spite of what he said, "Nope!" Sounding somewhat like the Engineer from Team Fortress 2. I began to mentally, push Sombra farther and farther back into the recesses of my mind, which meant the grayness and the numbing effect that came with it, were slowly disappearing.

I gave one last mental shove, then mentally set up a brick wall, separating his conscious with mine, I soon found out I had my eyes closed, opening them, I saw Luna and Celestia watching over me with worry, it was also this time I realized I had a cold sweat upon my brow. Was fighting with another entity in ones mind, cost so much energy? It appeared to be so, as I felt weakness envelope my arms and legs, kinda like when you get a fever, just not so.

I found my glasses on the table next to me, it was a hassle to put them on with one hand, but I managed. I gasped, taking in as much air as I could, I hadn't exactly realized how much it took out of me. "Luna, Celestia, we really need to do something about Sombra, he's getting stronger, and it's getting harder to fight him." They both gasped at the terrible news,  when they regained their composure they said, "Justin, Twilight is here and she would like to... examine, your mind." The pause didn't fly by me though, and suspicious began to grow.

"Where is she? And what do you mean by examine?" My first question was answered by her entering, the second was answered by Twilight, "I'll be looking into your mind, to help rid of Sombra, don't worry about him entering my mind, Celestia and Luna here will help me." They all nodded, except me of course, "Wait, wait, wait, let me get this straight, you want to look into my mind to try and find a blood thirsty unicorn that you banished before, why not, per se, just banish him again?"

Twilight shook her head, "We don't have The Crystal Heart, and that needs to stay in the Crystal Empire, this is the only way." I thought for a moment, "Why not the Elements of Harmony?" She shook her head again, "It would effect you to, and I'm afraid to do that, because we don't know the consequences of doing so." I solemnly nodded, I wasn't too keen on letting ponies enter my mind, but hey, what the hell right? Right?

"Now, I need you to calm yourself, to enter your peace of mind. Or your mind." She didn't explain and I didn't want her too, using deep calm breaths I got that tired feeling you get whenever you do that. They all touched their horns together, and then laid it on my forehead.

It felt like I was being sucked through a vacuum cleaner, I landed face first onto a rock, nearly breaking my glasses. Celestia, Luna, and Twilight landed next to me, "Hey, guys, so is this what my mind looks like?" I was surrounded by books, some were frozen with ice, the rock I nearly hit was actually a spike of ice jutting out of the ground. Electricity cackled overhead, as it began to rain, lemon juice? Yeah, the clouds rained lemon juice, but they looked like normal storm clouds, tinged with yellow and green.

Off in the distance, a giant brick wall was formed, it had fire burning at the top, which seemed to be warding off a giant purple mass, the ground shook each time Sombra smashed into it, causing cracks to appear in the frame work. My mind began to race, the first thought that reached me, a UNSC Frigate. And that appeared above the brick wall, it looked like the Pillar of Autumn mixed with Forward Unto Dawn, along with a regular looking UNSC Frigate. I heard a voice call out over the landscape, "Mac levels reached exceedingly high levels, charging to Sup3r M4c shot!" That was something I came up with one time, what happened when the Frigates overcharge their mac guns? Sup3r M4c shot!

As Sombra broke the wall, a laz0r made of pure diamond and obsidian went flying directly into the face of Sombra, he growled, shaking the ground, I quickly began to make more Frigates with my imagination, all firing MAC cannons at Sombra, the two princesses and to-become princess watched in utter shock as I imagined such behemoths. I even began imagining Scarabs carrying Hunters, (I'm a Halo fan), and Covenant carriers equipped with those giant lasers that glass planets.

They all began firing, I felt fatigue come over me, I fell to one knee, causing Twilight to shout, "Justin!" I shakily rose, I wouldn't let some prissy ass King bring me down! I imagined my favorite weapon in all of time, the Battle Rifle, the Halo version of course, but I made it fire it's three round bursts as Spartan Lasers. I erected another wall, this time it was made of carbon titanium, if that is a metal, and for some reason, it rose slowly, a bit too slowly. So I added in, yup you guessed it, the laser of a Halo ring itself.

Let me give you the not so brief description of what a Halo beam looks like. It's a cylinder, with a white center, blue tinged the edges, it seemed to suck up all the surrounding light, as it shot it's majestic beam. I began to pant, this really was taking up a lot of my mental energy I guess I could call it. I fell to my knees, before flat on my face. Gasping, the wall was finally erected and Sombra was contained once more.

I shakily and slowly rose, first to a kneeling position before finally managing to stand. "Justin, I didn't know you had such power!" Twilight shouted, she seemed shocked, and awe inspired. I muttered something incomprehensible before falling flat on my face, out cold.

~~~~ (Twilight's POV)

I watched in pure awe, as he summoned these giant hunks of metal, which shot amazing beams of energy, even though this is mental, I didn't think he could muster so much! In fact, he might as well be challenging Luna to power, because Celestia, well, lets just say, if you screw with her, you're fucked. I pondered these new swears, could I use them in every day life? Maybe.

As he finished with a grand finale, I have to say, I was surprised, I hadn't expected that at all! I felt glee building up in me, "Justin! I didn't know you had such power!" I shouted, I truly was shocked for the first time in a long time, I heard him mutter, "How was tha-?" He fell flat on his face, plunging the world into darkness. "Well, that's just great, were stuck in his mind until he wakes up!" I shouted into the nothingness that surrounded us, I felt a hoof touch my shoulder.

"Twilight, remember it wasn't his fault, it was this or have Sombra take control of him..."

~~~~ (Still Twi)

After a few hours of doing nothing, the landscape we found ourselves in earlier, appeared again along with Justin, and the giant hunks of floating metal...

~~~~ (Justin's POV)

I groaned and rubbed my head, finding myself in my mind scared me for a bit, my first thought was, where the hell am I? Than it hit me, I was still in my head, I stood up, to see the grey wall I erected still stood against Sombra's relentless attacks, a voice behind me caused me to jump, "Well, that was something." I spun around to see the three standing there, Celestia looked amused, Twilight a bit of anger mixed with awe, and than Luna, who looked completely baffled.

I shrugged, "Really? These things aren't really made up by me, more like a game creator did." Twilight perked her ears up, "And, who would this pony be? Or Human in your case." I shrugged again, "To hell if I know, just a company named Bungie, however after Halo: Reach they dropped it and gave it up to another company, named 343 Industries, to be honest, I wasn't too happy, neither were others, but they lived up to Bungie's and our expectations. Heh, you probably have no idea what I'm talking about do you?" She simply shook her head.

I sighed, "Well, what were you guys gonna do before Sombra broke down my previous wall?" I took a quick glance at the titanium wall to see he stopped beating against it, almost as if he was tired, which was good. Maybe we still had a chance after-all. I looked sky-wards to my surprise, the Frigates and the Halo ring still at the ready, maybe I could use them again? Nah, he'll know about them and do something against it.

Luna's voice snapped me out of my reverie, "We we're going to, force him out of your mind using our combined magic, and this new spell we made. We're just going to need you to lower the wall, okay?" I nodded and said, "When I hit three, I'm going to drop it, m'kay?" They nodded, "Okay, One... Two... Three." I let the wall disappear from my mental image, and began to let loose a barrage of mac blasts, scarab beams, strider (from Half Life 2) firing blue lasers, along with bombers dropping nukes. My back began to warm up, I turned around to see, well, the three had their horns touching at the tips, and they were charging up for something no doubt.

I brung my attention back to the battlefield, Sombra definitely looked confused and weakened, his purple cloudly mass slowly becoming smaller. The heat began to become unbearable, I spun around once more, to see them sweating, they also must of felt the heat, I saw sparks coming off of their horns, then it began to glow. I got out of the way just in time, as the beam of light soared overhead, it had the colors indigo, lavender, and gold all mixing together to make a cocktail of colors. It seemed to fly like a bird, but that may of just been my imagination.

Sombra looked up to see the beam of light, 'Fuck! I will be back you insufferable human!' he screamed as the beam did it's work, I felt my strength dwindle, as the Mac cannons, scarabs, striders, and bomber planes kept on attacking Sombra, when the magical beam hit, I felt a great weight rise from my consciousness, that I hadn't noticed was there. Sombra was finally gone! But it was then, I wished I never said anything. A gleeful cackling filled the air, as he appeared once more, this time with even more strength if that was possible, the dead weight came back.

'Time to end your Princesses and start your petty life anew, silly human!' He cackled madly, and began destroying my mental forces, "Princess Celestia and Luna! Get the Elements of Harmony! It's our only hope! QUICK GO NOW! DON'T WORRY ABOUT ME!" I screamed, they both exited my mind, "Twilight! I'm going to need your help to maintain him! Can you do anything?" She nodded and said, "You're going to have to trust me with this, think of me as an equal to you in this world, it should then allow me to use my own mental power, to summon in my own forces!" The thought was insane, but whatever, this entire world is insane!

I began to imagine Twilight as a friend, which I already did, but a friend I could trust at every corner, leap, fall, and battle. A light surrounded her and I felt as if she and I were the same mind. "Thanks, now sit back and relax, this will definitely hold him back." I didn't sit back or relax, instead I started sending in Banshees, Phantoms, the Master Chief, The Arbiter, Prophet of Truth, Prophet of Regret and the third Prophet, whatever his name was. I also imagined, an army of Mantis's charging towards Sombra. (I'm a major Halo geek if you haven't noticed.)

What Twilight imagined was extraordinary, an armada of Ursa Majors, Dragons, unicorns, pegasi, earth ponies, the royal guard, she even copied some of what I was doing, such as Mac guns and such. With all this force enacted upon Sombra, he barely got a chance to retaliate. And then the moment came, when I began to lose energy, I was beginning to weaken! Twilight seemed to start feeling the effects of exhaustion. Luckily the Elements of Harmony appeared along with the two Princesses, "Girls, as much as I'd like a proper greeting we need to use those, NOW!" Twilight shouted through pants.

"Twilight! Take away your forces, focus on your element, I can hold him!" I shouted, I began to spring in even more, fighter jets, helicopters, actual soldiers, tanks (From L4D2), giant scorpions, AA guns which were modified to shoot at Sombra, Wraiths, Manticores, I even made myself a halo magnum which shot, sniper rifle rounds. The Mane 6, besides Twilight, watched in utter amazement at what I had conjured up using my mind alone. "Whoa." Was the response I got, I fell to one knee, panting, "Hurry! Use the Elements! I can't keep this up forever!"

I kept on shooting, they began to formulate into a triangle shape, Twilight powered the Elements with her magic, causing them to glow their appropriate colors. A double rainbow flew from the group, hitting Sombra square in the chest, I noticed that Luna and Celestia, had added their earlier spell to the mix. I felt Sombra's conscious weight dissipate, I fell to my knees like last time, "Guys you might want to get out now, before I pass out again." They didn't need to be told twice, as they left I fell into blissful sleep...

~~~~ (real world)

It seemed to take a second in-between switching states, with Sombra finally gone, maybe I can enjoy life for a bit? I dont know, but that ending seemed to be a bit fast, this thought passed through my mind, as I cracked my eyes open to see I was laying down, the Mane 6 along with Luna and Celestia stood around my hospital bed, they all were staring at something next to the table that used to hold my glasses. I took a glance over, and nearly unhinged my jaw, at what I saw. It was impossibru! How could that be here?

The magnum along with the Battle Rifle, were there, sitting on the nightstand, "H-h-how, did those get here?" Next to them were a few clips. The Mane 6 shrugged, but Celestia spoke, "I think, while you were in your dream state, you accidentally brought those with you, but, this would take so much energy, it would kill me and Luna, this just, it just cannot be! You don't even have a horn for magic to travel through!" I picked up the battle Rifle, and cradled it in my arms, it was light, almost the weight of a paint can without the paint.

I rubbed my hand over it's surface, which removed some dust that settled on it, their was writing on it to! I rubbed away some soot on it, it read, 'Want breakfast? Come and get it!' I shook my head, this couldn't have been me who summoned these... but hey... what's the worst that could happen?
