Chapter 10: The Darkness Continues (Rewritten)

Previous Chapter Next Chapter

Daniel stood in place, unsure of what to think as the robots continued to hug him. They saw him as their dad and that was something he was not ready to take on. Annabelle walked up to him and tapped his shoulder trying to get his attention but he did not move in the slightest and the robots also realized this so they broke the hug and no longer looked happy but instead they had a look that was curiosity or worry.

Annabelle decided to truly get his attention so she walked a bit off to the side and made a scream that sounded like a terrified one and when she did that Daniel snapped out of his shock and he turned in her direction and rushed right towards in less than a second.

"What's wrong?" But she just had a smile on her face as she looked at her brother and then Daniel realised that she was smiling because he was just standing in place before and she was able to get his attention with a scream. He turned back to the robots who were looking at him happily, or they looked happy with the way their eyes were. One of them walked out from the rest and up to him.

"Daddy, are you ok?" The voice of this one sounded female and the voice clearly had concern in it. Daniel still did not know how to respond to this but he decided he would take it slowly.

"Yeah, I am. just a bit shocked." How could he not feel like that? He just arrived back from helping a friend in a stressful situation to be called a dad by robots that Alpha made from his own blood. "I did not expect this, to come back home to hear you call me dad." Daniel decided he should help Alpha and make some with no emotions but he would also be nice to his 'children' and make them the 3rd in command. With Alpha being 2nd and him and Annabelle being 1st.

Now that he was out of his shock, he looked at the bot in front of him. He did feel like he had a strange connection with it and it was a nice but creepy feeling at the same time. Creepy because it felt alien. "Anyway, Alpha I would like it if you could expand the laboratory in size."

"How large do you want it to be?" Daniel thought for a moment and decided he would need multiple things. If this place was to become all in one he would need lot's of things made but for now he focused on getting started.

"I don't know the size yet but I need you expand enough to make a factory that will construct more bots. Try and make it so the ones constructed don't have emotions. It's not that I don't like them, I just don't think I can take that much looking up to me like a dad." He whispered that last part to Alpha.

"Understood. A factory it is." Daniel snapped his fingers and there was 30 other robots just like the others but those ones had blue eyes rather than green so he could tell them apart from the emotional ones.

"These ones are to help you." When he made the robots he added a good amount of intelligence in them so they will obey Alpha and his children but still have common sense so they won't do things that he did not want. "Alpha, I am counting on you." He turned to his robot kids. "I am also counting on all of you, you don't have to do it if you don't want to. So if you want to go around the house and read or watch the TV then you can, just don't leave the house or answer the door." He was glad to see they were happy, but they got a bit too happy as they jumped all over him and he fell over laughing. But just when he thought it could not get any weirder, Annabelle also jumped on the pile, the moment one of the robot saw her it asked her something.

"If he is our dad and you're his sister, does that make you our auntie?" By the sound of the voice it was a 'he' but now Anabelle seemed to be paralyzed with shock at the thought of that. Daniel just laughed at the look on her face, it was like if she got the biggest chocolate cake in the world put in front of her. Her eyes were wide and her brain was having a hard time processing what it just heard. When the robot saw this it inverted one of its legs and waved it in front of her face. "Yoo-hoo."

That seemed to snap her out of it but she just looked at the bot that was smiling happily at her then she looked at Daniel, only to faint when she looked around and saw all the other bots now looking at her with the same half bottom shutter happy green eyes and almost fell off and onto the floor but she was caught by the robot that was right next to her and it lowered her to the ground. "Auntie is funny."

"Alright I need to go. I have something to do." All the robot let out groans of disappointment and got off of Daniel who walked over to his sister and picked her up "I will come back, don't worry." He started to walked out of the lab while carrying Annabelle. When he got back to the living room he place her on a couch and snapped his fingers and made a large cotton cover appeared and covered her with it. Then made a pillow appear and placed under her head. He also saw the clothes she was wearing were dirty with mud so he made some new clothes that were just like his but her size and placed them at the arm of the couch at the other side where her head rested.

Daniel decided to try and now make the pocket dimension so he found a wall that was clear enough to have a door in it and focused with his space power. It took him a while but eventually he could feel the barriers of this reality and the void that cut it off to keep it from colliding with the other universes so he altered some of the space and made another barrier. He made that area of space quite small and then used his power of reality and made a door appear on the wall then connected the pocket dimension with the door. He opened the door and found nothing but darkness, so he was successful in making it so all he had to do now was make the door respond only to him and his sister then add thing to it.

With a feeling of satisfaction he close the door and stopped his powers, only to feel a sharp stinging pain in his right arm and when he moved his clothing to see what it was he had a giant bleeding cut from his wrist to his elbow. "My body must still need to adapt to the amount of power I use." It was bleeding quite a bit and stung a lot.

He walked over to the sink then put on the water and cleaned the blood off his injured arm. After it stopped bleeding he left it to heal which would probably not take long thanks to his advanced healing factor so he went to the living room and sat down in a chair. That is when he felt like he was lost, for the first since he arrived here he always had something to do so it kept him busy but now with nothing to do because everything was done, he was unsure of what to do.

He did need to get somethings from this house and move to ponyville but other than that, he did not need to do anything right now. He reflected back on everything that has happened, from his home being destroyed to arriving here, becoming an Element of Harmony and everything else. He looked at his sister and he realised that the only reason he was not a crying emotional broken wreak after everything that has happened is because his only focus now is to keep her happy and safe like what his parents would have wanted him to do. He would do everything he could do for her and would also keep training a lot so even the dark sphere that destroyed his world would not be able to touch her. That remained him.

"PIA how can I get to the Universe King N is in?" He was determined to know so when he understands how to fully control all of his powers he could get revenge on King N for what he did to his home, friends and family and hopefully also earn redemption for failing to protect them.

"Space alteration can let you travel to different universes so you could use that or you could just wait." Daniel wondered what he meant by just wait.

"What do you mean by 'Just Wait'?"

"The sphere that destroyed your home is searching for you, it does not know where you are but it will find you eventually." Daniel still needed one more bit of info.

" How long do I have until it is here?"

"This universe is a good bit away from your home one so it will take time to find your cosmic power signature again as it will have to fully scan each universe, also with this world being full of powerful magic it will take it a long time to scan this planet as the magic will disrupt it. When you destroy the sphere you can use it to track where King N is. With all the scanning as well as the magic disrupting it, it will take it a few thousand years to get here, possibly a hundred thousand." Daniel felt relived as that was no doubt plenty of time for him to train.

It has been 2 hours and in that time Daniel had made a few book copies of the ones that he saw at Twilight's library appear and place them in a box that he planed to move to a new house in ponyville when he purchased or rented one. He was nervous as he only knew the basics of taking care of a house but not the other things like bills, insurance and everything else.

He was still getting taught about all that stuff back home so that worried him slightly but he would do his best to learn about them. He sat down and took some time to read some of the books he made and learned a good few things like the names and locations of some major towns, cities and holidays that are either celebrated or are done as it is tradition in this world. How the pegusi apparently need magic to fly and how earth ponies are better at farming thanks to their magic that gives them a better connection with the Earth. He had also made another door on one of the walls of this house to use to get between this house and the new one he would eventually buy. It was at this point that Annabelle woke up with a yawn.

"Sleep well?" She looked at him and smiled.

"Yeah. I had a great dream. About our first time at the beach together." Daniel remember that during the summer they would normally visit their uncle and he would take them to the beach and let then run around while their mum and dad would also join them and sometimes would play in the sand with them. She always loved it and it seemed to be summer in this world so it made sense that she would dream of that. "Bro, can we go to the beach sometime?" She looked at Daniel with pleading eyes that looked like she was about to cry, he usually could never say no to that face she put on when she wanted something.

"I don't know where one is. But I promise you I will find one and take you there sometime." He said smiling at her and she had one that he swore could rival pinkie pies. She then jumped on him and hugged him.

"Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU!" Daniel realised something just now. He has not slept in days and he does not feel the slightest bit tired. He made a mirror appear in from of him and pulled down his hoody then looked at his face. His eyes had dark circles around them that, the whites in his eyes were faded and thanks to the hood keeping the sunlight off of his skin he was almost more white than a cartoon ghost. He almost dropped the mirror in fright when he saw his face but he did not care about that now so he made the mirror disappear and put his hood back up, then he turned to his sister. He was about to tell her to go to one of the bedroom and get changed but she spoke first.

"Bro, are you ok. You looked stressed, perhaps tired, or both?" He saw her concern for him but he would find a way passed how he looked in the future, for now he and his sister should be heading back to ponyville.

"No need to worry about it right now. Before we go back you should get changed, those clothes are muddy." Annabelle looked at her clothes then took the set Daniel made for her, went upstairs to a room of her choice and got changed. She later came down the stairs wearing the dark hoodie purple jeans and white shoes that was put out for her and they looked quite good on her.

"They look nice on you. Ready to go to Ponyville?" He still was not used to the silly names yet but never the less after she answered they went outside and went towards ponyville still carrying the box of books. As they got close to ponyville Daniel lowered then on the edge of the forest and changed them to their pony forms and went to Twilight's library to drop the stuff off. He knocked on the door when he was at the library door and waited for a few seconds for Twilight to answer.

"Hello? Cosmos, Strawberry? You're both back." She said with a smile.

"Yeah we are. can I drop this stuff off? I am going to head to Applejacks."

"Yes you can. You two took quite a while to get back to your house in the everfree." As Daniel thought back to before he left for his house, after the crazy stuff over the tickets. It was night time when they left ponyville to go back home and by then and by the time his sister fell asleep in the dog tunnels it must have been close to early in the morning just after midnight. After that they returned to their house in the morning and she fainted after discovering she is a auntie and then the trip back to ponyville, so it was still in the morning apparently but close to afternoon.

"Sorry about that, but we're back now." He said as he place the box down on the floor at the side of the staircase. Twilight now saw that him and Annabelle were wearing the same cloths, not just the same kind but also same colour.

"How am I going to tell you two apart now that you're cloths are the same?" Daniel looked at his sister who was looking at him for an answer, it was then a cheeky idea popped in his head and he had a grin on his face.

"If you want to find my sister just look for the shrimp." While Twilight seemed to chuckle at that Annabelle just had a unamused look on her face and said 'Hey' when he said that about her. "You know I am just fooling around sis." Annabelle looked at Twilight.

"If you want to find my brother then just follow the screams." Daniel looked down at Annabelle who was looking at him in the eyes, both looked like they were about to start arguing but instead they chuckled after a few seconds of glaring at each other.

"Well, I will be heading to Applejacks now. Strawberry, you take care now, ok?" She just nodded at him and he left for Applejacks.


A few days have passed since Daniel started working at Applejacks and in that time he has not only managed to make a lot of bits from working there and making some himself with reality alteration, but has also learned to control his strength as he needed to watch how hard he kicked the trees so in a way it was training. He managed to rent a house out in that amount of time and made a door in the basement that went to his other house in the everfree so now the 2 houses were connected. That had lead to some problems as he could barely hear when the door of the ponyville house was getting chapped if he was in the lab or training outside, so he asked Alpha to install a buzzer in his everfree house that would go off if someone was at the ponyville house door and Alpha had the normal bots construct it within just a few minutes.

When he had nothing to do at all he would head to his everfree house and train outside in the forest, he had learned more about controlling time and could now trap things in time loops but it was only temporary and the larger the mass of the target the faster the time loop would wear off. He also learned how to add flavour to food but when tried it, he found out he could also replace one flavour with another and he had a few ideas of jokes to pull using this power. For him it was a trip to learn this as the first time he tried it, it backfired and turned his hair bacon flavoured which he quickly removed.

He had managed to make some grasslands, waterfalls, trees and flowers in the pocket dimension and while they would normally die because he has not made anything to project sunlight there yet, they did not die as time was not a thing there so they remained in the same way. Despite this, the thing he is currently learning is genetic alteration as he is hoping to discover how to remove and re-add the radiation within him and his sister. While that means that magic will have a effect on them when it is removed it would also make them stand out less from the normal ponies and he could also learn to do magic to fit in more if the radiation was removed. He would teach his sister magic too once he learned some of it but the fact she chose a pegusi and not a unicorn meant she would not be able to use the magic in public.

His job for Applejack went well. It was almost the same way done every day he worked there, he would arrive in the morning and work until late in the afternoon. The days that he had off he would read, train some more or check up on the laboratory which so far was going great and the factory was completed. The lab had now expanded to almost ten times it's previous size but he had plans for it to be larger than that.

Construction of more machines to scan and dig for resources like steel, iron and gold were almost complete and his robot kids were having a blast at constructing. The things that they have shown they want to make would have the same functions as what he was planning, but just a different look. Like the time they wanted the robot construction factory to be in the shape of a giant cake.

He had Alpha currently making up designs for a machine he would help make, a machine that is able to alter reality to a extent and it's function would be to create the resources needed so that the constant digging for materials could stop.

Annabelle and him stayed at Twilight's house for about 3 days before he was able to rent out a house, he has kept the large amount of bits he made with his powers hidden for a few days and is planning to buy the house fully in a few more days.

Today would normally be a day he would work but Applejack said that he should take today off which surprised him as she had never done this before so he was on his way to see if there was something wrong, because earlier today she stopped a herd of stampeding cows that were running through the town.

She also did not seem like herself when she turned up to collect a trophy at the town hall and when he asked Twilight and the others if they knew what was wrong, they replied they didn't. So now Daniel and Twilight were going to Applejack's farm to check on her. Annabelle was back in the lab getting taught this worlds history from Alpha that he leaned from some books that a few of his robot kids got from around the house. He would read them either until he was done reading the full book or they got board of it. Alpha would speed read the books and store their information which is why he is teaching Annabelle at home.

As they approached the farm they saw Applejack still kicking trees but she seemed to have trouble staying awake. She kicked over an apple bucket rather than hit the tree and she said 'whoops' when she realized what she did. Both of them could clearly see something was wrong.

"What on Earth is that pony doing? Hey Applejack!" Twilight continued to call her name but she didn't move because was sleeping on the spot. Twilight tried to teleport to Applejack and when Daniel saw this he stepped to the side so he would not interfere. She was having difficulty charging her magic up but after a few seconds she managed to do it and when she reappeared in front of Applejack she seemed to have trouble keeping her balance, but got it back and looked at Applejack before shouting again. "APPLEJACK!!!" That woke her up.

"Howdy Twilight." She said with her eyes half closed. She was clearly very tired

"What is all this?"

"It's Applebuck season." Applejack walked passed Twilight who just teleported in front of her again after she kicked another tree.

"Apple-what season?" Daniel got curious about this too if it was making Applejack overwork herself.

"It's what the apple family calls harvesting time." She walked passed Twilight who yet again teleported in front of her.

"Gather all tha apples from tha trees so we can sell'em."

"But, why are you doing it all alone?" Daniel looked around and couldn't see her brother big mac anywhere.

"Cuz big Macintosh hurt em'self."

"What about all those relatives I met when I first came to ponyville? Can't they help?"

"They wer just here fer the apple family reunion, they actual live all over equestria and ar busy harvistin their own orchards. So ahme on mah own." Twilight teleported in front of her yet again and Daniel was actually starting to get annoyed about that. Using something like teleport to just get less than 5 steps away. Applejack stopped and looked at her. "Which means ah should realy get back ta work." She just stood there, looking at her until Applejack spoke again. "Ahem, hint hint. Get back to work."

"Fine." She moved to the side but Applejack stood in place and looked like she was having trouble with her balance.

"Could you step aside Twilight?" Daniel spoke this time.

"Applejack, she stepped aside." Applejack looked at Daniel but as he looked back at her, she shook her head quickly.

"Don't none ah you six worry nothing, imma just fine n' dandy." Daniel looked around to only see him and Twilight here besides Applejack so now he was starting to get worried for her. She tried to kick another tree but could not because she was not close enough and almost fell over. Twilight appeared in front of her again.

"Do you want some help?"

"HELP!? No Way. No How." She shook her head in motion that seemed to be prideful.

"But there is no way you can do it all on your own." Daniel tried to reason with her.

"I am with Twilight on this. There is only so much one can do."

"Is that a challenge?" She asked with one huge eyes staring at Twilight.

"Um, no?"

"Well, ahm gonna prove to you that ah can do it. Now if you'll excuse me, a've got apples to buck." Daniel and Twilight could tell this would end in a disaster if she tried to do all of it alone but her pride refuse the help that was offered to her.

"Applejack, asking for help is not shameful and neither does it make you weak." He tried to get her to come to her senses but she did not listen.

"Ah said ah don't need any help!" She shouted at Daniel. He was about to say something else to her but Twilight tapped his shoulder and shook her head when he turned to look at her which meant to leave her alone.

"Very well Applejack, but don't say we didn't offer help to you." He shook his head then he and Twilight started to walk away from the farm. "I am going to head back home Twilight, if you find or hear about Applejack getting worse, will you let me know?"

"Certainly Cosmos." She said with a smile before looking back at the farm.

Daniel continued towards his new house which was close to sugar cube corner and changed back into his human form when he entered. He then want into the basement and towards the other door that lead to his Everfree home and walked through it to find his sister sitting on the couch watching a cartoon with her hand in a cookie jar again.

"Again?" He startled Annabelle when he said that and she dropped the jar.

"Don't scare me like that!" Daniel just chuckled at her but she looked at him, unamused. "Anyway, did anything interesting happen today?" Daniel sat down on the chair close by and looked out the window to the forest around them.

"Nothing much, but Applejack seems to be overworking herself. Something about harvesting."

"Will she be ok?"

"I don't know, she could barely stay awake and there also seemed to be trouble with her seeing properly." He sat there for a few more minutes before he got up and went to the lab and Annabelle stayed in the living room, she still was shocked from becoming an auntie and Daniel was hoping it would not put too much stress on her. While she was still trying to get passed the fact her parents and world were gone, she was getting better. Slowly.

He entered the lab and was greeted by the same robot when he entered the first time, it looked at him and smiled.

"Welcome back daddy." Daniel still felt strange for them to be calling him that but strange in a nice way that he could not descried. When it said that the others with green eyes stopped what they were doing and looked over to him and smiled as well.

"Nice to see all of you again." They all went over to him and hugged him but not in the way they did the first time and he did the same.

"Where is auntie Annabelle?" After one asked that they all looked at him for a answer.

"She is still a bit unsettled about it, just give her some time to get used to it, Now I need to go and speak with Alpha about a few things."

Ever since Alpha started to expand the lab, it also upgraded itself so it could now go along set pathways to get around the place and it also made more mechanical arms which it controlled and were in different spots around the lab. But most of those arms were in the construction factory most of the time and Alpha was still in the centre of the room which is where Daniel found it.

"Hello Alpha." A blue light appeared at the top and a holographic image of himself appeared.

"Greetings Daniel. I take it you are here to help with the machines?"

"Yes I am. But I also have something else in mind." Daniel wanted to show this place to Brago and Thag soon. He could show them that he was keeping his promise to them, so he needed to construct another entrance that was both hidden and bigger as Thag couldn't get through the house door. "I need you to get some bots digging again. I need a entrance to this lab that is about 30 feet tall for Thag to fit through and something to hide it."

"Understood, I will start up plans for it's construction soon." Daniel moved onto the 2nd matter at hand.

"You said you needed a machine that could alter matter into resources, is that right?"

"Yes it is, while the machine is not technically needed, if it was available for use it would save us a lot of time."

"Ok, I will find a place to make it." Daniel wondered the lab and found a clear area. When he was there he thought about a machine that could make any kind of metal and other things that can be used to decorate like rubies, diamonds, sapphires. Things like that but only them as he didn't want them making things that were too deadly like molten lava or acid.

He snapped his fingers and a machine appeared in front of him. It was a silver table that was connected to another machine from the side and went up and it made what looked like a giant laser that was aimed in the centre of the table. It also had wires that seemed to go under the metal floor and connect with the rest of the lab. Daniel went over to it and looked at the screen. It asked what the user wanted to make. It had just about every metal and kind of jewellery there could be in alphabetical order. He decided to test it out and when he pressed the option to make steel the lab seemed to go dark for a second before a green beam shot from the laser onto the table and formed a steel ingot.

"It appears the machine takes up a lot of power, I will make plans for the construction of additional generators before it is put to full use." Daniel thought that was also the best idea. He chose to stay and play with his kids while he was here.

A few minutes later and Daniel found he was actually having a lot of fun playing different board games with his robo children and he just learned he was awful at playing scrabble but quite good at monopoly.

"Daddy, why do you keep your hood up?"

"Because it's comfortable." That was the main reason as he has not taken it down ever since he put it up back when Nightmare Moon arrived but there was also another reason and it was to cover up how his face looked.

"Can you take it down for us?" He looked at them and tried to say he did not want to but he found it difficult.

"Ok. Just don't freak out." He put his hood down and he heard metallic shrieks of surprise from them when they saw his eyes and the circles around them, when he heard their shrieks he put his hood back up.

"Daddy, are you ok? You look awful." Daniel could tell they were worried about him but he did not feel so about himself.

"I'm fine, or if I currently am not then I will be eventually so no need to worry. Anyway I think this will finish it." He moved one of his pieces into the board and placed it in the row of others, his children looked at it and then at him.

"Daddy, that's not a word." He thought he was one away from completing something in scrabble.

"How do you know?" The robot giggle at his question.

"I know because I have a dictionary installed and it's not a word."

"Oh, damn." The robot moved his square piece into line and made a word complete. He just lost again and he swore that if this was a cartoon then right now he would have one of those sweat drops on the side of his head.

"I win." As soon as the robot said that a buzzer that he knew all to well went off. It was the alarm to say someone was at his ponyville home door.

"Sorry, but I need to go. I will play some more sometime soon." He headed to his ponyville house changed his form and opened the door to see Twilight standing there. "Hi Twilight. Is something wrong?"

"Nothing's wrong. Applejack finally decided to accept help and I ran here to tell you. Do you want to come along and help." Daniel was happy to get word that Applejack got some sense in her and agreed to go and help out.

On the way Twilight told Daniel how Applejack acted when she was tired and in all the stress that she put on herself. It was one of the things he learned back in his world, that all that stress is bad for the body and mind so to know Applejack stopped it made him feel a bit better, then he realised he has not settled down from learning his powers and keeping his sister safe and started to wonder if he was a hypocrite, but then wondered if he even was stressing himself out as he still felt normal. He removed that thought from his mind and went on his way with Twilight, heading back to help Applejack.

"Hey Cosmos, why do you keep your hood up?" Now Twilight got curious about his hood.

"I find it cosy. Like a pillow that is always around your head." This was the main reason he kept his hood up.

"Do you ever take it down."

"Sometimes, but not a lot." He tried to change the subject. "So how did Applejack come to her senses?"

"After she collapsed from exhaustion, after she thought she was done but saw all the other tress that were still left."

"She just accepted it after that?"

"Thankfully, Yes she did. If she kept going who knows what else she would have done."

"What did she do?" He was told of how she ended up baking things that made ponies sick which put them in the ponyville hospital and a few other things. "Well hopefully she has learned that there is something's that can't be done alone." They continued to walk back until they were at Applejacks farm and were greeted by the others.

They continued to harvest the apples that were left. The others all did it the way Applejack did it, by kicking the trees while Twilight was using her magic to gather them and a little while later she was also writing to Princess Celestia about something but he was too busy to pay much attention to it. He was a little bit lost in thought while doing this. He was wondering what he would do if he could not learn to control all of his powers by the time that the dark sphere was here, as he continued to think about his options he remembered something that PIA told him.

That there was the pieces of the first heart and they were scattered around the multiverse, it seemed like a long shot but he decided that he would search for them and remake the first heart. If he had not learned to control his powers and the sphere was only five years away from this planet.

"COSMOS!" He heard Twilight shout which snapped him out of his thoughts. He looked over to where her voice came from to see all of them around a table with apple juice bottles on it looking at him.

"Sorry about that, my mind tends to wonder."

"Well why don't ya tak'a break?" Daniel didn't complain. He did not want to look stubborn which might cause problems after the events of today.

"Ah can't thank ya enough fer this help. Ah was actin a bit stubborn."

"A bit?" Daniel chuckled when Twilight asked that.

"Ok, I'm mighty stubborn. An i'm awful sorry. Now ah know the town gave me the prize pony award, but the real award, is havin you 6 as mah friends." They all took a drink of there apple juice, which tasted great.

"That apple bucking sure made me hungry." He heard rainbow dash say.

"And i've got the perfect treat." He hears Spike say holding up a tray of half eaten muffins.

"Ewe, Spike I threw all those away. Where did you get them?" When Daniel saw the look Pinkie gave those muffins, he assumed they must have been the muffins that the tired Applejack made.

"In the trash." He heard them all simultaneously 'Ewe' at that. They started to walk back home as the sun was setting. Daniel decided to go back home and check on Annabelle. "Just a little nibble? Come on." They all rejected at the same time and said different things which he could not help but chuckle at.

"Bye girls, I am heading back to check on my sister."

"Ok, See you later." He headed back home.

As Daniel entered his home he locked the door and went to his basement and into his everfree home then changed his form back to human. He did not find Annabelle in the living room so he went to the lab and found her happily playing hungry hippos with his robot kids. It was quite a sight to see, not long ago she was afraid of them but now she was happily playing with them. He stood at the door looking at them playing together until the robot she was playing with saw him and waved to him. This caused Annabelle to turn around and smile at him, then he walked over to her.

"I take it you are having fun?" She looked a little angry.

"I am, but I swear they are cheating." She said pointing at the robot.

"They are not cheating, they are just very good at games, you will get better the more you play." Annabelle looked determined.

"I want a rematch." Daniel made a watch appear and looked at the time, it was almost 10:00, so Annabelle should be heading to bed soon, not to mention she probably still has not had dinner.

"You can have a rematch tomorrow. But right now it's almost your bed time sis. Come on, I will make you some waffles." Her face brightened up at that and she followed Daniel.

When they got back to the main floor of the house Daniel made five cooked waffles appear on a plate and added flavour to them so they would taste just like real waffles. He handed them to Annabelle who ate them happily. After that they both sat down on the couch and watched the DvD that was playing which was pirates of the Caribbean.

By the time the movie was over Annabelle was asleep against his shoulder. Daniel thought about the last time he slept which was a long time ago and right now he had nothing to do and he did not wish to disturb her so he sat there and soon went to sleep as well.

Canterlot

Luna had risen the moon a few minutes ago and was pacing back and forth with something on her mind. For the past few nights there has been a dream of a creature that she has never seen before that stood on 2 legs, had dark hair but also had light skin and no fur other than some on the top of it's head. The first time she saw it in the dreamscape it seemed to be wearing some strange clothing and in the dream there was some others just like it but she couldn't see what the dream was about clearly as something prevented her from entering it.

What she did see was the creature was wearing 2 little bits of clothing that covered its waist and down its legs, another bit of clothing covered it's chest and the dream took place at a beach once, and the other was when the creature was panicking, running around and crying for it's family. She found out that if she used her magic to try and enter it's dream it would not work and she spent the past few days trying to get into the dream to try and get a better look at it but so far nothing has worked. However when she used a lot of magic she found out she could enter it's dream but she needed to keep using her magic or she would be forced out.

The next time this creature, he or she is asleep, Luna would look into it. Especially when she could not enter it's dream without effort but it seemed to have nothing there to stop her. This was rare, sometimes there were those who trained their mind to block off mind magic and Luna sometimes had to do things to get into their dreams, but she knows how most of these blocks work and had little to no trouble with them. However for this dreamer there was no blocks, she just had more difficulty than normal to enter it's dream and that alone caught her attention.

"It's night time. If I find that dream again I will try and get to know the creature within it. If it's not hostile." She made her way to her chambers which she still had trouble finding because she was still new to this castle but she ended up finding her room and entered it. She took off her royal gear and entered the dreamscape.

It did not take her long to find the dreamer she has seen so much in the past and was about to try and enter its dream when a scream caught her attention. She looked to the side and saw a vail of black mist coming from a dream bubble that she could not see in thanks to how clouded it was with smoke.

Whoever this dreamer was, they were having a horrible nightmare and Luna decided to help this one out before she went to the other dream. As she prepared to enter it she felt the same thing as she felt when she tried to enter the dream of the creature she has seen for the past few days, she just could not get into it.

"There is another one?" For the past few days there has only been one dream that she couldn't enter normally and now there was another. This dreamer is probably another one of those creatures that Luna wants to know more about so she wasted no more time. She focused her magic and entered the dream but kept her magic flowing, she felt she would be forced out of it if she did not keep her magic flowing. "I can't fool around." She told herself as she now looked around this dreamworld and the first thing she saw was tall buildings that toward overhead, she seemed to be standing in an alleyway so she took to the sky to get a better view of the place.

When she was high up enough she looked around and saw that she was in a city that was like manehatten or Las Pegasus but what caught her attention was something in the distance. She flew closer to get a better look and when she got close enough she saw it was darkness. Just darkness that went as far up and to the sides as she could see, she looked down and saw that it was continuing to go forward and everything it touched seemed to glow blue. As she went to the ground to get a better look she saw that the blue glowing was things dissolving, fading away into nothingness. She moved away from it and went to try and find the dreamer.

She looked around and found other creatures that were just like the ones she saw in the other dream. They seemed to be trying to stop the darkness by shining lights on it but it did not slow it down at all. She continued to look around and saw more of these creatures in something that was made of metal but much smaller than a train and it had no track to go on. As the thing it was in seemed to go out of control in the ice that was on the paths it hit one of their own that was smaller than most of the others. Luna assumed it was a child by the difference in it's height, as the metal machine was about to hit Luna looked away only to look back after hearing a splatting sound and saw that the little one ended up smashed against a wall and it's brain was across the glass in the front of the machine.

She had just witness the death of a young one. Sure it was in a dream but still, to see it left her shocked. She heard a booming noise closer to the darkness that was approaching so she went to have a closer look and found more of these creatures that were next to some more metal machines. But seemed to have red and blue lights coming off the top of the machines and they were all wearing the same uniforms.

They were holding little metal devices in their hands that was pointed at the darkness and made a small flash and a boom sound every time it was used. After a few seconds of trying to stop it they turned and ran when it was close to them, but one of them tripped up on the ice and was consumed by the darkness. Luna saw it's skin, organs and bones disintegrate all the while it was screaming until it was silenced when it was fully disintegrated.

Luna wonder why a creature would be dreaming of something as awful as this. She could feel her magic running out and spent no more time exploring. She took off to find the dreamer soon. After a little time trying to track the dreamer, she found it flying in the sky just like her, carrying a younger one with it. She continued to follow it until it set the young one down somewhere far away from the approaching void.

"Wh-what's happening?" The young one sounded like a girl and like she was crying.

"I don't want you to freak out, just relax, I will get you through this." The older one sounded male and seemed to be wearing a large coat which it took off and gave to the female. "Here, You should stay warm." It wrapped her in it.

"But Daniel, what about you?"

"Don't worry about me Annabelle, I will be fine."

"How touching, but also sickening." Luna heard another voice that was from behind the male creature and it to sounded male too. When she looked in its direction there was a large bipedal figure but seemed to be in a purple mist that was all around its body. It was not like the shadow creature from the everfree as this mist did not go off its body but rather staying on its skin and covered it. It was about 70 feet tall and had glowing orange eyes. After a few seconds the one who seemed to be called Daniel spoke.

"King N?" The purple one nodded at his question.

"Yes, and you have something that belongs to me." Daniel's eyes widened and he looked ready to fight.

"I will not give it to you." King N only seemed to chuckle.

"You don't have a choice." He opened his hand with the palm facing Daniel and Annabelle, a red beam shot out from it and hit the two of them. With a loud scream, the dream collapsed.

Luna awoke in her room in shock.

"By my Mother, what was that?"
