I found myself walking along a very familiar beach. I bent down and ran my fingers through the sand, I smiled as I slowly created shapes with my fingers.

“You seem to enjoy that, don't you?”

I quickly look up and to my surprise find my younger self from the beach dream I had before.

“Who are you?” I ask.

“Isn't it obvious? I'm you.” The young me replies.

“It's obvious you're not, so let's cut the crap ok?”

The little me sighs and hangs his head. “Fine, I at least wanted a longer conversation with you but hey, shit happens.” The image of my younger self distorts and warps before becoming a floating shadow. “Is this better?”

“What are you?” I ask, stepping back.

“I'm not a what or a who but something else. You could say I'm a celestial being or a spirit, they are the closet descriptions.”

“So you're from space then?”

“In a sense, I do travel through it to do my job.”

“A job?”

“Ugh, hasn't Princess Luna mentioned me yet or even used my name in passing?” I shake my head. “Oh for the love of...Look, I am the reason your princess can see into dreams ok?” I snort. “I don't lie kid, I hate lying.”

“You and my marefriend would get on find then.” I retort.

“Oh yes your earth pony squeeze, the one bearing your child.” The shadow puts a shadow tendril up to the hole it's using for a mouth. “Oops! I shouldn't have said that.”

I blink. “Can you repeat that?”

“No can do buddy boy, I have some info to give you.” The shadow floats over to me and puts a tendril on my shoulder. “Now listen close as I can only tell you once. Years from now a force is going to come, it will be similar to me in some aspects but much larger. This force is sentient in nature and is aware of everything it does. The kicker to my little tale is this...It's coming here to Equuis.”

“What!?” I say. “What do you mean coming here?”

“You don't have to worry about this all now as this little memory of us talking will be suppressed until such time it needs to be unlocked.” The shadow being floats away from me and turns back into a random human form. “I would say goodbye at this point but~ I know we shall be meeting again so I'm just going to say, until next time!” The shadow being gives me a wave before fading away.

I stand still unsure of what the fuck I just witnessed. I place a hand to my head as the dreamscape starts to fade away.

I open my eyes only for them to be filled by two emerald green orbs.

“Thank Celestia yer ok, ah got worried when ya wouldn't wake.” Applejack says, placing her fore legs on my shoulders.

I blink before smiling. “I'm fine, I was dreaming.”

“About what?”

I squint my eyes. “I'm...I'm not sure, it's all hazy.”

Applejack smiles. “Well, Princess Luna is here, she wants to start the dreamwalk as soon as possible.”

I stand up and spot Luna talking to the doctor, I walk over and Luna gives me a smile.

“John, it's nice to see you are ok, I just wish I could say the same for my sister.” Luna casts her gaze down.

“I'm sure we can find a way to help Celestia too.” I reply, placing a hand on Luna's shoulder. “She's a tough mare, I'm sure this is nothing compared to what she has gone through.”

Luna goes to say something but instead just nods.

“How do you want to do this?” I ask, casting my eyes back to Twilight and Rarity.

Luna walks up to the two beds and sits down between them. “I can extend my dream spell to you when I touch their minds, from there it should be as easy as just closing your eyes.”

I nod my understanding and look to Applejack. “Applejack, please make sure nopony interferes, it might be dangerous.”

Applejack nods. “Ya just bring them back to us, ya hear?”

I nod and sit in front of Luna. “I'm ready.”

Luna closes her eyes and I see two long tendrils of white light snake from her glowing horn and touch Twilight and Rarity on the forehead. I watch as another tendril of light reaches out for me and touches my head, I feel the tingle of Luna's magic and my eyes close.

I startle awake to find Luna kneeling by my side. I was some how lying on the ground on my back.

“Are you ok?” Luna asks me.

“I'm fine, maybe a bit tingly.” I reply, flexing my hands.

“It's a side effect of bringing another into the dreamscape.” Luna stands up and looks around. “We will have to explore the dream to find which of the two we are rescuing first.”

I nod and get to my feet. “Why does it feel...weird?”

“Weird? In what way?” Luna was now looking at me with a raised eyebrow.

“I don't know, it's like I can feel something all around me.” I shiver slightly but not from cold. “It's just weird.”

“Can you try something?” Luna asks.

“Like what?”

“Try summoning something.”

I look to my hands and hold one of them up. I thought of something small. I gasp in surprise as my armour ring appears in my hand.

“Uh....”

“Impressive, I never thought you would have this ability, I mean I speculated but not assumed.” Luna says in wonder.

“What ability?” I ask.

“Why to do what I do, you can feel the dream around you and manipulate the dreamscape to you own devices. In essence you can summon anything you wish into the dream.”

“Anything?” I grin.

“Well, things that the dreamer can identify or has seen in reality.”

“What happens if you summon something they haven't seen?”

“It wouldn't appear.” Luna replies.

I hold out my hand again and think of something that only Twilight would know, I was surprised when it appeared.

“This is Twilights dream.” I state.

“How do you know?”

I hold up the rainbow gem I brought back for Twilight from the Gryphon Colonies. “I gave this gem to Twilight when I came back from the Gryphon Colonies to thank her for all she did for me. When I gave it to twilight only me, Spike and Twilight were there along with Applejack.”

“Ah so because it appeared this is Twilight's dreamscape, good work my champion.”

“I live to serve my lady.” I chuckle and bow, I look back up to see Luna rolling her eyes. “I think we should look for Twilight now.” I say putting on a serious tone, “for some reason this place doesn't feel right.”

Luna and I must of travelled for miles and didn't find anything remotely to say that Twilight was here. We were about to change our minds about the dreamscape when a scream came from nearby, the town we were in was not Ponyville and it wasn't a place I recognised.

Luna and I ran towards the screaming when we heard it again. We rounded a corner of a street and saw Twilight clinging to the top of a lamppost terrified out of her mind, she had a broom in her magic and was swatting at several large green glowing blobs of goo.

“Twilight!” I shout.

Twilight looks to me. “Brother! Help me! They keep trying to bite me!”

I growled at the fear in Twilights voice and my body started to glow yellow, I turn to Luna.

“Fancy killing some goo things.”

Luna's horn flashed blue and she grinned. “Don't mind if I do.”

Luna and I charged the green blobs. I raised my hands and blasted two away with my magic, I watch Luna take two more before the rest turn to face us. The blobs screeched as they to moved quicker than we expected to charge us in turn. I dodged one and turn it to ash with a quick beam from my finger. I look up to see another blob morph into a sword and thrust toward me. I dodge again and summon my own sword, and I do mean my sword. I grin when I hold up Moonlight.

“Your move bitch.”

The blob thrusts at me again and I block it, the blob stabs then swipes. I parry the swipe to hear a cry of pain from Luna. I turn my gaze and see Luna had been sliced across her shoulder by another blob that was also in blade form. Luna raised up a blue ethereal blade of her own and backed off from the blob. I realised too late the mistake I had made, the blob I was fighting seized the opportunity and stabbed forward. The blobs blade sunk into my shoulder, I cried out in pain and grabbed the blade with my hands.

I dropped to one knee as I felt the blade was sucking out my magic, I pulled the blade with all the strength I had and I roared in pain as the blade slid free with a wet crackling sound. I held the blade in my hand and thought of my magical ability to absorb magic and smiled.

“You look tasty.” I say.

I held the blade firm as I started to suck out the blobs magic, when the blob turned grey and hardened I turn and smashed the blade against the building next to me and grinned as it shattered into pieces. The magic I earned from the blob healed my shoulder but I didn't really gain anything from it. I grab Moonlight and find Luna was dealing with the last three blobs all in blade form with Twilight hiding behind her. Luna's shoulder was bleeding and it seemed that was driving the blobs crazy. I raised moonlight up and charged the blobs two turned to engage me and Luna stabbed at the third.

I heard the blob shriek as it was sliced in half, I jumped using my magic and came down on the last two blobs. I slashed with moonlight and cut a deep gouge in one, I kept up the swing and impaled the last blob. I saw the other blob move towards me but I brought up my hand and blasted it away, the blob on my sword shrieked in pain as I pull my blade out. I finished it with a downward strike cutting off it's cries of pain.

Luna and I look around but find no more of the blobs nearby, we put our weapons away and look to Twilight. Twilight was shaking and covering her face, I stepped towards her and put my arms around her.

“It's ok Twilight, I'm here.” I whisper into her ear. “You're going to be alright.”

Twilight suddenly wraps her own forelegs around my neck and cries into my shoulder. I check Twilight for any wounds but relax when I find none.

“I thought I was going to die, my friends all left me!” Twilight bawls. “I knew you would come for me, I just knew!”

I hold Twilight tighter and I look to Luna. Luna gives me a smile.

I pull Twilight's head away from my shoulder and look into her red eyes. “Twilight, listen to me.” I rub the tears away from her eyes. “This isn't real. This whole area is a dream, Luna and I have come to take you out of it.”

“A..A dream?” Twilight asks, sniffing.

“Yeah, You got knocked out during the Nightmare Night celebration. Do you remember?” I say.

Twilight narrows her eyes and tries to recall the events. “I...Think so. I can't remember all of it but I can remember talking to Rarity then feeling very sleepy. I...Can't remember much after that, just waking up here.”

I let twilight go and stand up, I walk over to Luna to find her scanning some of the buildings.

“What's up Luna?” I ask.

Luna turns to me and I can see the confusion in her eyes. “This is all wrong John, this whole dream was constructed for a purpose, but I can't find out what.”

“You're the princess of dreams Luna, how can you not know?” We both turn to see Twilight straightening out her mane and tail. “If you don't know then, who?”

“I don't know, there's only one who would know, but I haven't confided in her in a long time.”

“Can you do it now?” I ask.

“I'm not sure but if my scanning is anything to go by, we better find Miss Rarity and fast.
