Vigorous Proportions!

"No way..." Twilight said looking in pure awe. A floating city... made of bricks and wood. Impossible. The rational thought process in Twilights' brain said that in order to make building like this float, you would need a lot of magic and the unicorns would need to be on some magic steroid or something! But the more she looked... the more her rational thought shut down. It was beautiful.

The capsule she was in landed on a platform and was taken down into the building below, where the internal machinations of a clock were at work. As she was going down, words on aches started to appear.

Why should he send his savior unto us,

He? Who's he?

If we will not raise a finger
for our own salvation?

Salvation? While trying to make heads or tails of this, she started to hear harmonious singing from below her. As she reached the what seemed to be the bottom, a large stained glass window came into view, showing an elderly man, with several other followers, pointing towards the floating city. As the pod came to an alarming halt, the first slide with the window came down and the chair unshackled her.

She rubbed her sore wrists and sat up and listened to where the beautiful music was coming from. The ground was entirely covered with water and candles. Twilight looked around and saw a larger archway on her left, and began walking towards it still looking for the music. As she rounded the corner, she found herself looking at a statue of a man, his beard flying out in many directions and his arms stretched out, as if wanting to give someone a loving, caring hug that told them it would be okay.

The water sloshed underneath her, her dress getting wet and her shoes and feet soaked to the bone. Once again, she turned a corner, only to be met by a flight of stone stairs and man standing next to them.

"E-excuse me? Sir?" She said grabbing his attention. "Where am I?"

"Heaven. Or least this is as close as we'll get." He said in a deep baritone voice. She nodded to him and slowly walked down the stairs to find herself in water once again.

"I baptize you, in the name of our prophet, in the name of our founders, and in the name of our lord!" A man with a deep voice called out. The man did start talking again, but his voice was drowned out by man who was coughing loudly.

"I don't know brothers and sisters, but this one doesn't look clean to me..." The man said again. Their was a splash of water and the sound of someone flailing around before everything stopped. "That'll get rid of the False Shepperd easily..." He said as she walked down the watered path towards him.

"Oh my, another from the Sodom bellow? My, we're getting popular!" The man joked. She watched as he held out his hand, and as reluctant to grab as she was, she looked at the end of the tunnel just in time to see the body of a man fall out of it. She gulped and slowly reached out for his hand, which launched from its idle position and help her at angle. He repeated the same thing he had said before, and dunked her head under the water. Her vision was blurred and going dark before he lifted Twilight from the water. Everyone around her cheered, and the priest stepped from her path and let her have passage into the city.

As she stepped into the watered road, she heard a small clink under her foot. Twilight looked down to see a small bottle that had a cork in it to keep the contents of what was inside from falling out. The bottle was, by itself, intimidating, but something compelled her to open the bottle and take a swig of whatever was inside.

And she did just that.

Ignoring the warning bells in her head, she pulled the cork of the green bottle and took a drink. She threw the bottle down, a sudden pain coursing through her body. Her hands looked as though they were small tornadoes and she could feel the wind coming off of them. In a flash, just as fast as it started, it ended. Her vision bounced, and her head ached, she couldn't take the pain any longer before she fell unconscious in the river-road, letting it take her away.

"Come on Twilight! We don't even know what this is!"

"That's not the point Rainbow, the point is we have to find out WHAT it is."

Twilight looked around the small tear in her living room, catching only small glimpses of creatures unlike any other before. They were bipedal and, aside from he could guess were females, most had short cropped manes. The males, once again a guess, wore fancy suits and ties while the females wore equally fancy dresses and hats. One of them seemed to walk towards them, but as soon as the creature made contact, the tear closed and appeared on the other side of the room. The difference from this tear was a girl a little more in her twenties, was staring at Twilight and her five other friends. The girl closed her eyes, rubbed them, and opened them again before the tear faded and closed.

Twilight's eyes shot open as she cleared her lungs of any remaining water. She shook her head and sat up, wondering where she was. A small clink was heard behind as she watched the empty ram bottle float towards her. She picked it up and turned it around.

Charge!
Ram your enemies with a tornado blow!
Hold to charge for an even more devastating tornado blow!

Vigor? Is that what this is? She was still stuck on the hold and release part. "Ram your enemies eh?" She asked herself. Looking up to meet three statues hold a key, scroll, and sword, she walked out of the water and into a garden. These "Vigors" had already gotten in Twilight's head, and every reason beyond "Bottled Magic" seemed too far-fetched. She had absently minded walked into the door at the front of the building. She rubbed the sore spot on her head and opened it.

She was robbed of all her breath by a somewhat powerful blow.

She gasped for air and fell down to the ground, only to be pulled up and to come face to face with...

"Applejack?"
