"OHGODWHATTHEFUCK!" I literally spasmed off the couch before landing on the floor wondering what the bloody hell just happened.

'What in Celestias name?' Great, now I've gone crazy...

"Who said that!?" Ribbon whirled around, looking for an unseen intruder.

-It appears I'm not the only one going postal.-

Ribbon turns to face me, a panicked look in her eyes.

-Stop staring at me, stop staring at me, stop staring at me...-

"Chi? Am I hearing your thoughts?"

"I think so... and I think I heard yours..." -wanna go mess -

"With Twilight? No, but I really, REALLY, thin- what, did that really happen?" I get the feeling she is referring to the whole 'crystals and evil eyes' thing in the dream.

I nod my head. "If you're talking about what i think you're talking about, then yes, yes it did..."

Ribbon stared me in the eyes. "You, Twilights, now!" It's only 6 in the morning, but screw it, this is important.

Focusing on the area in front of the library, I let my disguise drop momentarily is I use my magic to teleport, before redisguising... and I stick the landing this time!

"Ommph!" Except I accidentally teleported Ribbon as well. "What th- did you just teleport me?" I nod, shrugging my shoulders in a 'I have no idea how either' gesture.

Walking up to the door, I start banging my hoof against is. "Hey Twilight! This is kinda important!" The moment i finish that sentence, the door opens. She must have been pulling an all nighter.

She couldn't help but to inquire our situation as she waved us in. "What could be so important to teleport here at 6 in the morning? And yes Chi, Celestia sent a letter explaining your situation and alias as 'Night Sight' and yes, I'm still annoyed with you for makeing me think there was a second Pinkie..." after she shut the door, I let my disguise drop, relieved that I didn't have to explain that.

"Twilight, I think I accidently dark magic..." and possibly Dark Energon, but that's not certain.

"YOU WHAT! I'm getting Celestia AND Luna here, right now... SPIIIKE! We've got a situation C-19!" Wait, she was actually prepared for this? Twilight is apparently Batman levels of prepared.

Within five minutes, there was two flashes of magic, and then Celestia and Luna arrived, looking extremely concerned and worried. "Explain, now." Celestia was curently in no nonsense mode, and so was I.

"After irrelevant drama involving my past, me and Ribbon had fallen asleep together, causing another one of those contact synchronizations, I think Luna called them, and I was deposited in Ribbon's nightmare, where after events I am not at liberty to discuss, I became enraged enough to attack the cause of Ribbons nightmare, when suddenly black crystals began erupting from all over the place, among other things..."

Luna glared at me. "That is indeed dark magic, how did it not corrupt you?" Corrupt?

"If by corrupt you mean make you magic look... wrong, and your face look like something from the pits of hell, I got better..." both Celestia and Luna looked at me like I had grown a second head.

Luna put a hoof to her chin in thought. "It makes sense, in a twisted way. Nightmare Moon was a manifestation of my inner darkness, meaning she was already dark and corrupt, and considering you inherited her body, as well as your... different, mindset, would more than likely keep you from becoming permanently corrupt unless you used a large amount of dark magic in a short period of time. You've essentially found a shortcut to acquiring the resistance me and Celestia achieved through pure willpower." She turns to Celestia. "Sister, do we require a demonstration from our friend here?" Celestia nods.

"I'm warning you in advance, this is creepy as hell..." focusing on the ground in front of me, i try to pull up that same feeling from before.

... come on...

...getting impatient...

...WORK DAMMIT! With that internal exclamation of rage, the floorboards broke, and a large black crystal, with the occasional segment of what could only be described as a dark unhealthy green or nearly black infected yellow, about the size of Celestia, burst from the ground. Letting the urge to smash stuff pass, I looked back up a Twilight and the princesses, only to hear them gasp. "I'm guessing its the eyes?" They nod. I slowly back up, before bumping into Ribbon, who make a sound similar to a rubber duck. I honestly could not take this much attention, and wanted to sink into the floor.

Ribbon gasped, and why did everything get so tall?

"Uhhh Celestia? Where did Chi go?"

I try to tell them i'm right in front of them, but they don't here me.

"Uhhhh, I Think Chi just sunk into my shadow..."

-really?!-

'Yeah really, its freaky, stop it!'

-we've really got to figure out why we can suddenly talk telepathically- maybe if I climb out? Reaching up, i hear more gasps. After I get myself about ha- WOAH, I'm still halfway inside Ribbons shadow, and i can't see that half! "Dude, this is freaky..." pulling myself out, I look at the crystal. "How do I get rid of that anyway?" Celestia blasts it with a beam of light, disintegrating it into dust. "Or you could do that..." Note to self, do NOT piss Celestia off…

Celestia slowly shakes her head. “To discover THAT magic, of all things…” She pauses, noticing me stretching in a cat like manner.

“What? I havent had my coffee this morning, quit staring at me!” Stop it! I dont want your attention! “And seriously, how do I get rid of those crystals when you aren't around?”

Celestia seems stumped by that. “What we do need, however, is for you to get a better grasp on your magic, before you have another outburst.” Outburst? Oh riiight, in the dream… Yeah, I can see why I would need to get better knowledge of magic, because if that had happened in reality, there would be a lot of damage.

“I’m guessing I’m going to be taking lessons from the Sparkle then?” both Twilight and the princesses nod. -Poo, I don't get to spend time with Ribby…- I hear Ribbon squeak quietly.

Celestia looks to Luna, who nods, before with a flash of light, they are gone, having presumably teleported back to Canterlot.

I turn to Ribbon. “You should probably head back and make sure Gary is fed, as well as keep Scoots out of trouble.”

Ribbon blinks. “You’re probably right.” Before walking out the door back to her house.

I turn back to Twilight. “So whats first?” Twilight seems to ponder herself for a moment.

“Tell me what you can do with magic currently.” Good a starting point as any.

“let’s see, I’ve got the telekinesis down, teleporting is still a bit buggy-I can get the location right, its just the orientation that i keep getting wrong. and then theres that dark magic i just discovered, but I think we’re going to avoid that for now, aren't we? And yes, I know thats all of three things, but the whole shape shifting thing I’m attributing to the miasma, as well as the shadow thing I did.”

Twilight starts mulls that information over, before sighing. “Knowing you, you’re going to need more than telekinesis and a blade to defend yourself…” So what do I get to learn?

“You’d be surprised what can be done with only telekinesis, for example, a brick thrown at a quarter the speed of sound is going to inflict some major blunt force trauma…” Not even going to TRY telefragging, I want to live, thank you.

“Well, the first thing we should do is get your teleporting problem under control, have you even bothered specifying the orientation?” Wait, I’m supposed to do that?”

“Well no wonder I kept crashing…” taking Twilights advice, i try teleporting two feet to the left, and actually land correctly this time. “Really brain? it was that simple!” Derp derp is derp.

“Now, about your shapeshifting… how did you figure that out anyway?” Oh bollocks, need to think of something quick.

“Discord happened, do I really need to say more?” please buy it…

“Okaaaay, moving on, can you show me how good you are with it?” Cannot. Resist. Opportunity. to. Troll. Letting my form dissolve into miasma, I reformed myself into a familiar shape, hoping it didn't turn out like the first time I tried, before channeling my inner five year old.

“This is fun!” yeah, Pinkie Pie.

“Oh Faust why…” Priceless… Turning back to normal, I decide to show Twilight my other little trick with shapeshifting, luckily this time I didn’t cough up any miasma doing it.

“Oh Faust why...” I say in a perfect imitation of her voice. Oh god, her reaction, it's a perfect imitation of the Surprised Patrick meme. I wish Ribbon could see this, its hilarious. Clearing my throat, and letting my voice return to normal, I try to stop her from having a BSOD. “So, you were saying something about need more than just telekinetics and a katana?” This does the trick, as Twilight shakes herself out of her stupor.

“Yes actually, you should at least know the three basic combat spells.” Lemme guess, an attack spell, a shield spell, and a healing spell of some sort? “We should start you on simple kinetic burst spells, before moving on to barriers, and eventually, healing spells. There is also one other I think you should know, considering you can apparently dreamwalk.” Ohhhh, a sleep spell? Yes please.

“So when do I get to start blasting stuff?” this gonna be good...

“Just a moment, SPIKE, DID YOU SET UP THE TARGETS!?” ohhhh, target practice.

A sigh echos from upstairs, before spike walks down carrying a bunch of bullseyes and a few skeet thingys. “Follow me, I know a place where we can do this without any collateral damage.” My FUN sense is tingling…

After redisguiseing as Night, the three of us trekked up this mountain, that apparently used to be a dragons nest, before FLUTTERSHY of all ponies, scared it out. Twilight teleported a few targets to random distances, before firing a beam at one of them to demonstrate the spell to me. “The basic kinetic burst spell, which is essentially focusing energy to your horn and releasing it, can be used in one of two ways; charge a single powerful blast of energy, or fire several weaker beams to maximize the chance of hitting something.” okay so it can do either a wave motion gun or moar dakka, good to know. “Now you try.”

“Here goes nothing…” I began focusing energy into my horn, watching as a sphere of energy forms at the tip… And then beams begin spewing from my horn like a fucking gatling gun!

…

Wow, I missed every single one of the targets… Maeby if i try it the other way?

Gathering more energy in my horn, this time not firing it, and instead let it build. And build… When I felt a migraine coming on, I released the pent up power, and my vision went white.

…

…

*IIIIIIIIIINNNNNNNNnnnnnnngggg….* Oh, my hearings back. As my vision cleared, I was greeted to a large trench cutting through the landscape, going all the way to the Everfree.

…

I did that… And then the fagite hit me. I fell to the ground, breathless, and suffering the mother of all migraines.

Twilight walked over to me. “Are you oka-” I don’t know what came over me, but I hissed like a cat, before diving into Twilight's shadow, trying to get away from the light. “No more demonstrations, you’re sticking to books from now on.” What she didn't know, was that I had fallen asleep in her shadow.
