I landed in front of the library, busted through the door and, using the momentum I'd collected, sprinted up the stairs. I quickly reached the top and smashed through Sky's door, causing me to trip and smash my face into the floor. I was knocked out instantly.

My forelegs feel funny... Wait, did I just defeat an army only to be defeated by a door? Savior of the world here, mares and gentlecolts! I opened my ey- Um, what? I was in a dungeon of some kind, in a small cell. I was in a weird position, kinda similar to how Minotaurs stand. My forehooves were pulled above my head and shackled to the wall I was lying against. There was a small crack in the ceiling with water slowly dripping through, forming a puddle on the floor. The floor itself was covered in a thin but noticeable layer of dirt and grime. There didn't appear to be a door.

What the buck happened while I was out? I have no idea. I should break out now though. I can just teleport out of the cell and explore this place from there. I poured magic into my- Wait, is my magic cut off again? So I'm up against somepony that knows what they're doing... I summoned Kinetic Circle around my hooves, charged them up and released them outwards, shattering the shackles. I fell to the ground.

After getting up, I examined the door to the cell. The bars were a thick steel, meaning a KC Punch wouldn't do anything. Why didn't I think of colours to go with most of my Circle moves? I've done it with my own spells and Zecora's potions, but I've only done it with Shield Bash. Is now really the time for this? Would I rather it be in the middle of a fight? Ugh, fine. Yeah! Okay, how about this; Kinetic Circle, Support Circle, KC Punch, KC Other Kinetic Action and Shield Circle. Is that good? Yeah, sure, whatever. Lets just go back to the situation I'm in.

Because of the bad traction on the ground from all of the dirt, I wouldn't be able to use Kinetic Circles. At least, not how I normally would. I backed up to the other end of the cell and smashed the bars off with a Shield Bash, then left the cell and wandered down the hallway.

After walking for a few minutes, I found a set of stairs. I went up them and found myself in the lower levels of the Canterlot castle. It was completely deserted. I explored around for a little while, but everywhere else was devoid of Ponies as well. This place is so creepy when it's empty. I found a storage area with a few pieces of armour and decided to put on some iron body armour, just in case I got into a fight. I had no way to heal myself, so not taking damage in the first place would have to do.

I went through a few more floors, but there was still no sign of anypony. I noticed that there was a little bit of a mess, as if there had been a small amount of struggle everywhere at once. Oh! If I find the potion stores, I might find something that could deactivate the seal on my magic! I searched around for a stockpile of potions and soon found myself in the royal hospital. There's gotta be some here, right?

I started looking through different rooms for signs of potions or anything useful in general. I found a pair of brown saddlebags with twenty bits and a haycon sandwich, and decided to take it with me. I had to take off my armour, but I noticed there were a couple of slits for straps to slip through that would let me wear both at the same time, which I then did. Great, now I'll be able to carry extra potions for healing and stuff. But what kind of potion would I even need to free my magic? A regular potion of Magic Restoration wouldn't do anything, I'd need something more specific. I'll just have to hope that there'll be something good for it. If I find anything, that is.

After about an hour, I found a door marked with a symbol that looked like a bottle. Hopefully it'll have potions. I opened the door to find many shelves, all of which were packed with potions of all shapes and sizes. Yes! I went deeper into the room and looked for something to get my magic going, as well as other stuff that could be useful.

I grabbed a couple of Regeneration Potions, a few potions of Magic Restoration for when I got my magic back and a potion that was inside a locked chest at the back of the room (which I opened with a KC Punch to the lock) that was labeled as 'F.U.N.'. Unfortunately, there weren't any potions that would get my magic going.

I was about to leave when I heard movement from a corner of the room. I went to investigate and found a mare covered in cuts lying face down in what was probably her own blood. Wait, is that female Watcher? I summoned a Support Circle under her, willed it to follow me and walked back into one of the hospital rooms. I laid her onto the bed and started healing her with Regeneration Potions. Well, that's her wounds healed, now I just need to wait for her to wake up. Maybe she can tell me what the buck is going on.

Author's Notes:

This chapter was serious, so here's some silliness to counteract it:
