div style="max-height: 999999px; padding-left: 10px; padding-top: 10px;"Chapter XXXII p style="max-height: 999999px;"strongHello, my peoples. /strongstrongWelcome back to the next chapter of /strongstrongemWhen my Heart Flutters/em/strongstrong! /strongstrong32 chapters in and I still refuse to end it… This is amazing even me. /strongstrongI mean, I'm not bragging or anything, but it is the longest thing I have ever written for anything. /strongstrongOh, my Lanta. /strongstrongBut enough of that. /strongstrongLet's get into it. /strongstrongEveryone with me now. /strongstrongTHE FIC IS THE THING!/strong/p
p style="max-height: 999999px;"Paul woke up in a very strange place. It appeared to be some kind of room, but that's where the normality ended. In fact, he wasn't even sure about that. Everything was flowing with an LSD trip's worth of dull coloring. He would walk forwards, only to be met with a wall of the substance. He would turn around and try the other way, meet another "wall", then fall down empast where he felt the last one./em At least, he thought that's where the wall was a few seconds ago./p
p style="max-height: 999999px;"He tried running, but as he felt himself being propelled forwards, the colors didn't move any faster. It was like being on an Omni-tread. Everywhere he walked, he couldn't tell if he made progress. But then he leaned out, and would only occasionally feel "walls"./p
p style="max-height: 999999px;""Where… Where am I?" he asked aloud. But no one could hear him./p
p style="max-height: 999999px;"No one can hear you in a magical holding cell./p
p style="max-height: 999999px;"OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO/p
p style="max-height: 999999px;"As Celestia lay on her bed, which seemed to swallow her in its seemingly massive size now, the rest of the able-bodied ponies walked around her, at a loss of what to do./p
p style="max-height: 999999px;""Is there any way to change her back, Princess?" Sleight O' Hoof asked as Luna looked out at the moon she refused to take back to the Celestial zone until her sister would wake up./p
p style="max-height: 999999px;""I have no knowledge of the clause Sombra spoke of. But the evidence could not be any clearer. My sister's power belongs to the … I dare not say it. I refuse to call that stallion, that emmonster/em, a… king." She dropped her head and looked back at her shrunken sister. "I am so sorry, Sister."/p
p style="max-height: 999999px;""It wasn't your fault, Lu- er, Princess Luna." Blaze walked over and gingerly placed one of his front hooves on her shoulder, careful not to ruffle her wings. "We can fix this. There has got to be a way."/p
p style="max-height: 999999px;"Fluttershy began to say something. "We… We could… Oh, but I don't know if it would… No, I don't think…"/p
p style="max-height: 999999px;""What is it?" Aerial asked her, staring intently at her./p
p style="max-height: 999999px;""We could… use the Elements of Harmony, couldn't we?"/p
p style="max-height: 999999px;"Luna turned to look at her. "Alas, even the Elements could not save us from this. If what Sombra said was true, about his newly gained immortality, then there is nothing we can do. Especially now that he has the magic of the most powerful Alicorn in the history of Equestria…"/p
p style="max-height: 999999px;""Then what about this… 'him' she mentioned?" Fleet Fire had been pondering on this for a while. "Who is that supposed to be?"/p
p style="max-height: 999999px;"After a moment of thinking on this, Luna's head snapped up. "Could she have meant… no… she couldn't have meant… emhim/em!"/p
p style="max-height: 999999px;""Him, who? Who's him?"/p
p style="max-height: 999999px;""But, it would be impossible to bring him here. He belongs outside this dominion. Besides, even though I know that he is capable of helping in this time of need, I do not think he would."/p
p style="max-height: 999999px;""Huh?" Blaze scratched his head, wincing because he momentarily forgot about his hooves in the mess. "Is he another Alicorn? A very powerful unicorn? Did she mean that stallion that trained him way back when?"/p
p style="max-height: 999999px;""No… Not even Chaos' Blade would be able to help, as close to a god as he is… There is only one person she could've meant." She turned to look straight forwards. "I know you can hear me. Listen to my plea. There are legends that you have helped this world before, in a day that never was. Please, help us again."/p
p style="max-height: 999999px;"strongMeanwhile, in OUR world…/strong/p
p style="max-height: 999999px;"Goldenponyboy watched the words appear on his computer screen. "Really? Again?" Hesitant, he touched the backspace key. The words didn't disappear, but he didn't get sucked into his computer again. "Alright, so let's try this approach…"/p
p style="max-height: 999999px;"strongBack in Equestria…/strong/p
p style="max-height: 999999px;""Princess Luna." The voice seemed to come out of the ceiling or maybe the walls… perhaps the floor… "It is in fact true that I have helped this world before. However, it cost me dearly to enter your world. I lost all of the powers you have heard of, and once I regained them, complete chaos ensued."/p
p style="max-height: 999999px;"Everypony else seemed completely fazed by the voice, but Luna continued to speak. "I have read the story. I have heard it from an olden time."/p
p style="max-height: 999999px;""How could it… Well, I suppose that… never mind. The point is that, I think that I can enter this world, but I cannot ensure you that I will be able to use my powers. It took me a while to regain them to their fullest."/p
p style="max-height: 999999px;""Can you not help us from where you are now?"/p
p style="max-height: 999999px;""I cannot help you."/p
p style="max-height: 999999px;""Why not?!"/p
p style="max-height: 999999px;""Because I am the reason that this world is the way it is. I realize now that this was selfish, to wreak chaos in your world for the entertainment of my own. But now, even if I wished to help you, I couldn't. The story is self-sufficient now. The last time this happened was when I was sucked into your world. I enjoyed my time, but I could not escape until the legends you remember ended."/p
p style="max-height: 999999px;""Is that so terrible a price to pay for the help of not only our world, but yours?"/p
p style="max-height: 999999px;""Mine?"/p
p style="max-height: 999999px;""You have given Sombra the power to move between worlds. What is to stop him from coming to yours if, as you say the 'story is self-sufficient'?"/p
p style="max-height: 999999px;"There was an eerie silence while the voice seemed to ponder what she had told him. Suddenly, a steam of what looked like fireflies streamed through the window. They came to the center of the room and formed a shape of an odd being before the light faded. The being was… a human being, holding a tall white and gold staff with a Technicolor ball at the end top of it. He turned to look at the ponies before looking straight at Luna. "When do we start?"/p
p style="max-height: 999999px;"OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO/p
p style="max-height: 999999px;"Sombra sat in the throne of his ruined castle overlooking the sea. He laughed as he thought on the pitiful mortals that would soon be under his domain./p
p style="max-height: 999999px;"He gave a nasty smile. "It begins… now…"/p
p style="max-height: 999999px;"strongChapter Complete. /strongstrongWay to go me… I was just bragging about how I made it to 32 chapters and now I'm stuck in another fic! /strongstrongWell, hey, if it can stop Sombra from entering the real world, then it's worth it. /strongstrongBut I don't have my control as an author anymore… um… okay. /strongstrongWell, I better go. /strongstrongThey're starting to look at me funny again. /strongstrongI hated it last time whenever I did an outro and the characters just stare like I'm crazy… Anywho, RR AND ADIOS!/strong/p
