Spells and Louds
Chapter 90: Nightmares part 2
(Outskirts of Ponyville, Equestria)
Fluttershy is picking flowers on the hillside.
"Oh, this will look lovely for Rarity's home her flowers do seem rather worn out" said Fluttershy.
All of a sudden the ground underneath her shakes. "What the? On ho!" Fluttershy immediately takes cover, but in the same spot!
Fluttershy is knocked into the air as a great gate comes out of the ground and starts to glow.
Four beings come out of the portal. Sunset opens her eyes and see, she's not a pony.
"What the heck?" said Sunset. Even Neil and Luna were still the same.
"Okay, is something supposed to happen?" asked Luna.
"I thought you said we were gonna get ponified?" asked Neil.
"Hmm, it might be because of me. I think I'm creating an aura that is in sync with the cosmic realms and I don't think anyone will be turned into something else when I'm in the area" said Gyro.
"Well, I guess that makes sense" said Luna.
"Not for the citizens here! They don't know about humans, except for Princess Twilight and her friends" said Sunset.
Then something is heard screaming. "So you guys hear that?" said Neil.
They all look up and see a yellow pony falling. Fluttershy then gets caught by Luna.
"Hey there little guy. You okay?" said Luna.
Fluttershy uncovers her wings from her eyes and looks at the strangers.
"Wait a minute, you have wings! Why didn't you just fly?" asked Neil.
"Sorry ape creature. I guess I was scared from the gate coming out" replied Fluttershy.
Luna puts her down. "Well, you certainly sound familiar, I guess you're the pony Fluttershy" said Sunset.
Fluttershy looks at them with a confused look. "Oh, sorry. My name is Sunset Shimmer" said Susnet.
Fluttershy gasps. "You mean the same Sunset Shimmer who stole the crown of friendship and tried to use it to conquer Equestria but soon became a friend and battled the dazzles!"
Sunset chuckled nervously and looked away. "Yeah, that Sunset."
"Oh my Celestia! It's good to finally meet you. Though I wonder why you're not a pony anymore" said Fluttershy.
"That maybe because of me and my magic" replied Gyro.
"Well, any friend of Twilight's is a friend of mines. So what are you folks doing here?" said Fluttershy.
"Well, we're here to look for Princess Luna. It's urgent" said Sunset.
"It involves our little brother being attacked by something in the dream world dude" said Luna.
"Oh my! That sounds terrible, we should go see Twilight first" said Fluttershy.
"Okay, well lead on" said Neil.
Fluttershy picks up her basket and hovers to the castle with Gyro, Neil, Luna and Sunset following.
"You know I pictured the ponies to be a lot bigger" Neil whispered to Gyro.
When they enter the town of Ponyville, many of the citizens there are confused and start whispering to each other about Fluttershy with the strange beings.
"I don't like how they're staring at us dude" said Luna.
"They're just confused at what we are" said Neil.
Then they see Applejack with her wagon and Applebloom with her. "Oh, hi applejack. Hi Applebloom" said Fluttershy.
"Umm, Fluttershy, what are those things?" asked Applejack. "They look like somethin' from the Everfree forest" said Applebloom.
"Okay first off, that's pretty sure to think of us like that. Also we're not here to hurt anyone" said Gyro.
"Applejack, this is Sunset Shimmer, the one Twilight told us about" said Fluttershy.
"Oh, well I guess it's nice to meet you. Even though I saw you already, when you stole Twilight's crown" said Applejack.
Sunset sighs. "Yeah, I guess that's the only thing everypony will ever see me."
"Hey dude! Lay off her, she's changed!" said Luna in anger.
"Whoa now, I'm just being honest" said Applejack.
"Well, alright then. I wish I could come. But I gotta take these apples to the market. Ya'll have fun now" said Applejack. She then leaves with Applebloom. "Bye strange monkeys!"
Neil sighs at what she just said. "And that's where I draw the line between animals and evolved."
They soon make it to the castle. "Whoa! So this is Twilight's castle" said Sunset.
"Dudes! This thing is made of Crystals!" said Luna.
"Magical Crystals" said Gyro.
"Dang, this is amazing!" said Neil.
"It sure is!" said Pinkie Pie.
Neil jumps back and hides behind Fluttershy. The others also got startled by her presence.
"Whoa man! You've got the same spooky coming out of nowhere like Lucy" said Luna.
"Thank you! I think!" said Pinkie Pie.
Sunset giggles. "I'm gonna guess, you're Pinkie Pie."
Pinkie Pie hops onto Sunset's arms. "That's right! Cross my heart and hope to fly! Smash a cupcake in my eye!" said Pinkie Pie she pulls out a cupcake and eats it.
"That made no sense" replied Gyro.
"I'm gonna guess, you guys are here because of an urgent and dangerous emergency that involves someone getting hurt or worse from a nightmare and if you don't fix it, then something really, really bad might happen!" said Pinkie, then she sports her signature squeaky smile.
Sunset was gonna say something but doesn't. "Yup, just like the Pinkie Pie I know."
"Well, we should probably head inside and see Twilight" said Fluttershy.
"You want a cupcake?" said Pinkie Pie as she hands Neil a chocolate cupcake.
"Oooh! Well don't mind if I do!" said Neil.
"I kept it nice and warm in my mane!" said Pinkie Pie.
Niel spits it out and drinks from the nearest stream.
"Huh, maybe he's more of a cookie lover" said Pinkie as she pulls out some cookies from her mane.
"Okay man that sounds kinda sick" said Luna.
"I don't wanna know how you keep a cake in there" said Gyro.
"The Pinkie Pie I know does that too" replied Sunset.
Neil pulls his head out of the stream. "What?!"
They then make their way inside and enter a large library and see a purple Alicorn rearranging books with her magic.
Susnet smiles. She knows who that is. "Hey, Princess!" said Sunset.
Twilight drops a book and turns around. "S-Sunset? Susnet Shimmer?!"
Twilight flies towards her and hugs Sunset. Sunset also hugs her back.
"It's so good to see you again Sunset!" said Twilight.
"It's good to see you too Twilight" replied Sunset.
Then Twilight realizes something and gets off of Sunset. "Umm, why are you still ….. Human?"
"That's because of the magic aura I have" said Gyro.
"Hmm, I guess that makes sense" said Twilight. "So, what are you guys doing here?"
"We're here to look for Princess Luna" replied Neil.
"What? Why?" asked Twilight.
"Our little brother Lincoln. He needs help, some evil force is haunting his dreams and if we don't do something, we might lose him" said Luna with worry.
"Oh my Celestia! That is troubling news" said Twilight. "No worries, I'll have Spike send a message for her to come here."
"Sounds great" said Sunset.
Spike comes in and sees the tall beings. "What is going on here?"
"What the what?! Spike is a dragon in this world?!" said Neil.
"A baby dragon to be exact" said Gyro.
"The little guy looks kinda cute" said Luna.
"Thanks, but I'm still waiting for my growth spurt" replied Spike. "Mind telling me- Oh, hey there Sunset!"
"Hey there little dragon" said Sunset.
"So, I'm gonna guess, this is a worldly emergency" said Spike.
"You guessed right Spike!" said Pinkie Pie.
"Alright Spike" Twilight hands him a parchment and a feather pen. "Write this down."
"Dear Princess Celestia, some beings form another world have come here in need of your sister, Princess Luna's help. The matter is urgent, from yours truly, Princess Twilight Sparkle."
Spike rolls the paper and spits fire on it and it flies off into ashes.
"So, was that royal mail?" asked Neil.
"That's what I call it" replied Spike.
"Now we just have to wait for Princess Luna to come to us" said Twilight.
Gyro looks around the library. Twilight trots next to him "So, impressive huh?"
"Not really" replied Gyro. Twilight is shocked at what he just said.
"Karazhan has a bigger library than this and all of the books are capable of rearranging themselves" said Gyro.
"Sure would love that here" said Spike. "Really takes the time of me rearranging the place."
"So, what are the books in Karazhan?" asked Twilight with a smile.
Gyro is a little freaked out by her. "Powerful incantations, dimensional history and cosmic laws."
"Wow! That sounds amazing!" said Twilight. Gyro knows what she was thinking "And no, I am not bring you there."
"Well, it was worth a shot" said Twilight.
"So, where are the others Princess?" asked Sunset.
"Well, Rarity is visiting her Boutique in Manehattan, Rainbow Dash is at practice with the wonder bolts, Starlight is having a picnic with Trixie and Applejack is well doing her chores" said Twilight.
"Yeah, we already saw her earlier. Along with some stares and whispers from other ponies" said Luna.
"Well, they are confused at seeing strange things" said Twilight.
"By the way, we never got to know your names" said Fluttershy.
"Gyro" "Neil Davion Spellman" "Luna Spellman" they replied.
"Wow! What are the odds that Princess Luna will get confused by the name you have!" said Pinkie.
"Well, if she tries to get physical with me then I guess I'll have to show her how cold I can get" said Luna with a smirk as she makes a snowflake dagger.
"Let's hope it doesn't get to that" said Sunset nervously.
All of a sudden they hear some horse neighing and look outside to see some dark armored Pegasi pulling a wagon with Princess Luna onboard.
"And there she is now" said Fluttershy.
Twilight teleports them to the outside of the castle to meet the princess of the night.
When they arrive it turns out it was more than just Luna. Another carriage appears and onboard was Princess Celestia.
"Oh no!" said Sunset. "Dear god" said Gyro. "I don't get it dudes" said Luna.
When the carriage comes down Celestia looks at the other worldly beings.
"P-Princess Celestia! Wow! I did not expect you to be here, I thought it was going to be Princess Luna" said Twilight nervously.
The Princess of the sun doesn't respond. But instead she looks at human Sunset.
"You won't believe whose here! Well you already know because she's right here, but Ummm …." said Twilight nervously.
Sunset looks to her dad and sister. "You got this" said Neil. "Don't let fear take you sis" said Luna.
Sunset steps forward to Celestia.
"Princess Celestia, the last time we saw each other I was your snide little pupil, who betrayed and abandoned you" said Sunset.
Twilight looks nervous. "I wouldn't have said it that way. What Sunset means to say is-"
"I mean I come here before you as a changed pony, or rather yet person. Humbly asking for forgiveness, guidance and help" said Sunset.
Celestia looks to her sternly. She then approaches Sunset, making Sunset nervous and Neil, Gyro and Luna a little cautious.
"Or I can just go and you don't have to ever see me again" said Susnet as she backs away. But then her hand is being pulled to Celestia by magic.
Celestia uses her left front hoof to hold her hand. And smiles. "I've missed you, Sunset Shimmer."
Sunset kneels down with tears and hugs Celestia. "I-I'm so sorry." Celestia also returns the hug.
The others felt touched by this.
"Now, on to pressing matters. Like why are you still human?" said Celestia.
Sunset then looks to Gyro. "Magical powerful aura!" said Gyro.
"That sounds understandable" said Princess Luna.
Celestia looks to Neil. "You must be the father who took in Sunset. Thank you for helping her have a family."
"It was my pleasure your majesty. She deserves one" replied Neil. "My name is Neil Davion Spelman."
"Gyro, Guardian of the realms" said Gyro.
"Luna Spellman" said Luna.
"You bare my name, odd" said Princess Luna.
"Well, it's not odd where we're from dude" said Luna.
"We should probably discuss the situation" said Sunset.
"Let's get inside and tell you guys what's going on" said Neil.
"I got this" said Gyro. He slams his staff onto the ground and mass teleports them into the main room of friendship.
They are shocked at what he just did.
"W-Wha-What was that?!" said Twilight in shock.
"Mass teleportation spell. You use it too don't you?" said Gyro.
"We do, but that felt like there was a lot of magic at play" said Princess Luna.
"So, what is the urgent problem?" asked Celestia.
"It's my little brother Lincoln. He's being haunter by his dark memories and they're becoming deadly nightmares" said Sunset.
"There is no Equestrian magic at play. He's being toyed by a dream demon named Freddy Krueger" said Neil.
"If we do not stop him, then the next dream will be so deadly. He will die" said Gyro.
"What in thy name is this madness?!" said Princess Luna.
"Have you tried something?" asked Celestia.
"You didn't tell me there would be life or death!" said Twilight.
"I can't use a spell to travel to someone's dream. It's out of my jurisdiction and we can't use Fearie Dragons, because their all busy in Azeroth, so the best option was you Princess Luna" said Gyro.
"I'm sorry, Faerie Dragons?" asked Spike.
"They're small magical dragons that pass between the real world and the emerald dream world. The one who watches over their power is Archdruid Malfurion Stormrage, who is clearly occupied with something else" said Gyro.
"So why do you need me?" asked Princess Luna.
"The only way to beat Freddy is to head into my little bro dreams and fight him. And you're the one who can bring us there" said Luna.
"Hmm, this sounds dangerous. But a child in danger is dangerous and of the upmost important" said Princess Luna.
Then Susnet chuckles a bit. Princess Luna looks at her with question.
"I'm sorry, it's just, I'm used to hearing you say no parking in the faculty lot" said Sunset.
"Hmm, this faculty lot sounds you speak of sounds like a place of great power" said Princess Luna.
Sunset and Luna hold in their laughter. But Neil falls to the ground and laughs.
Gyro smirks. "Let's …. Not make … things any weirder right now."
Neil then gets back up. "Yeah, yeah. So are you in?"
Princess Luna looks to Celestia, who nods in response. "I am" said Princess Luna.
"Alright then, let's head back to Royal Woods" said Gyro. He then slams his staff to the ground and they get mass teleported back to the Great Gate.
Princess Twilight, Celestia and Luna are shocked at the Great Gate.
"This here is the Great gate. A special gateway that creates portals to other dimensions as long as they have one of these as well" said Gyro. "And since it's already here. I can't remove it, so yeah. This thing is permanent. But I will be placing some Golem guards here later."
"We will also be providing some guards for this gate as well" said Celestia.
"Well, I guess it is time to make haste to the other world of humans" said Princess Luna.
"Is she always going to speak like that?" Luna whispered to Twilight. "She always speaks like that" replied Twilight.
"Take care sister" said Celestia. "I will dearest sister" replied Princess Luna.
They then look towards the gate. "Well, let's do this!" said Gyro. They all step through the portal.
"What are the odds Princess Luna turns into a human" said Gyro. "Wait what?" said Neil.
To be continued …..
They made it to Equestria, encountered some of the pony versions of Sunset's friends and they finally have the aid of Princess Luna. Now it's time to save Lincoln from the Nightmare! Leave a review and tell me what you think.
