Chapter 5: Training and Errors (Rewritten)

Previous Chapter Next Chapter

Daniel had found a clearing further in the forest and landed in it. Looking back at his sister, he quickly made a campfire appear and wrapped his sister in a cover that he also made, she was still cold but her shivering was not as bad. With Annabelle now heating up he removed his large jacket and used his reality power to turn his trousers back to the blue kind he usually wore and made them disappear along with his jacket. He started to think on what he should do so he made a notepad appear and started writing.

1: Heat up Annabelle.
2: Make a house.
3: See what threats are in this forest.
4: Find a town or city for her to mingle with others. P.S: Need to make disguises.
5: ???

He put a tick next to 'Heat up Annabelle' and then decided to star work on a new house. After thinking about what he wanted the house he wanted tp have he was about to snap his fingers again to make it until he realised that he did not know what a house in this world looked like so instead he made a house that was shaped like a tree but had brown titanium instead of bark.

He was no scientist so he did not know what metal would be good but from his understanding titanium was one of the best metals there is as it took a long time to fatigue, didn't rust and was stronger than steel so that is why he chose it.

"This should keep her safe." He thought as he carried his sister into the house only to discover the inside was empty. He only made the exterior not the interior. He snapped his fingers again and a fire place appeared along with, bookshelves filled with books, seats, sofas and lamps. The floor became a large purple carpet and a TV with a DVD player were mounted on a wall.

"Keeping her entertained and happy is going to be a pain if we stay here, but hopefully won't find this place boring for a good while." He though as he place Annabelle on the couch while she was sound asleep." I better finish the rest of the house." Daniel walked off and finished the kitchen, bathroom and two bedrooms. Lastly he went outside and decided to make leaves on the 'Tree' that he and his sister now lived in and then turned them into solar and lunar panels. After that was done the lamps and room lights of the house all turned on. Daniel was thankful that he know all about altering reality, molecules and matter, as all he had to do was think of something, will it and then it would appear or he could change one object into another.

He entered the house and sat down on a chair before taking his notepad out and ticking 'Make a House'. He put the pad away and started to think about his situation. He needed to take care of his sister by himself now and needed to do some training with his powers so he would be ready if he ever encountered the dark sphere again. He also needed to learn how to control them as he could accidentally end up killing an innocent creature.

After turning on the electric fire in the fireplace he put Annabelle, who was still wrapped in a blanket, next to it and left a note for her. Telling her to stay in the house until he comes back. Beside the note he also left a present that was a big box of chocolates that contained kit-kats, blue ribands and other chocolates before he went outside and locked the door with a key he made shortly after.

As he was leaving he left a key for his sister on the table that he made in the centre of the living room. He was gone for almost two years so he did not know what toys were made over that period of time that she liked and it also meant he missed two of her birthdays. Using shape shifting he changed into a body of black smoke with his eyes turned into large white circles. He figured the black smoke would help him blend in with the night and the white eyes could scare off predators so he planned to use it, all this made him look like he was his own walking shadow. He was about to start scouting the forest until it hit him.

"Time. My sister will still age. If I get the knowledge of time then I can sto-...crap PIA already gave me the know how of four powers, PIA can you remove my understanding of a power?" He asked and hoped the answer was yes.

"No, I can't, I grant knowledge and give answers or theories of there is no current known answer. I have already gave you total understanding of four powers, you must learn the rest you're self. Also If you want to learn how to control time with no side effects, that will be very difficult as time is one of the more complex powers." Daniel took out his notepad and removed the question marks at 5 and wrote 'Learn how to De-age others'. He thought for a moment and decided he will learn time only until he could learn how to de-age others, after that he would probably stop.

"Ok. Step 1: Check this forest. Step 2: Spawn objects. Step 3: Train with powers on said objects until I find a way to keep my sister from dying of old age." With all that in mind he was just about to go in the forest when he heard the flapping of wings. He turned towards the sound of it which was up above him and almost right behind, what he saw was a unicorn with wings that was dark blue and her hair was like the night sky. He assumed it was a she with the body structure, the long hair and the make-up on the eyes. This 'Winged Unicorn' was landing where he made the campfire that was still burning.

"Oh crap I forgot about that." He thought as he watched her but she was just looking at the fire then around the area. "Must be a pony, she is a bit small for an average horse for what can compare last time I saw one. What would she be doing here anyway?" Daniel thought.

"She is here as she usually fly's over this forest to calm herself down from her royal duties.. PIA told him which almost caused him to jump in fright. He then saw that she was looking at the tree house he made and when he looked at it his heart almost sank. There was a light that even Daniel could see that was visible through the window, it was from the lamp that he left on for his sister. The Winged unicorn started to approach the house so Daniel decided to try and get rid of it. He just arrived here and the last thing he wanted was attention.

Stepping out of the darkness, he let out a growling noise while looking at her and she turned in his direction. All she could make out was a figure made of dark smoke that was staring right at her with two bright white eyes. Luna had studied creatures that lurked in the Everfree and had been in the forest lots of times, but never had she seen a creature like this and that made her a little uneasy.

"Who doeth thou thinketh ye are creature?" Luna did not reliese she was speaking in old equestrian.

"If I don't say anything she might think I am unintelligent and not bother with me again after this. Even if that happens I need to move the house now that she knows where it is." He thought as he did not move from his spot.

Daniel just continued to look at her. Then he saw that the pony was looking at the campfire then back at the house he made before looking back at him.

"What did you do the settlers that were here?" She was clearly angry now but this only made him more mad so Daniel decided to give her one more warning. So he let out a louder growl, narrowed his eyes at her and took one step forward.

"Foolish creature, you dare threaten Princess Luna? You will pay for your dishonouring of royalty." She said that last part in a voice that could rival a Skyrim dragon shout. He then saw her horn charge up and shooting a blue beam at him but he did not move and the beam broke upon contact with him. This startled the Luna so Daniel took this opportunity and rushed forward, delivering a kick to her side which knocked her about 15 feet away from him.

"Must have been a weak magic attack. Unicorns were known for magic after all." Daniel thought.

When Luna got up she looked back at the creature in shock as her attack did nothing to it. Along with this it also managed to knock the wind out of her with just one kick. But she would not give up, she had faced foes that were almost on her level like Sombra and those who were far above her power like Discord.

She took to the sky and charged at it top speed with her horn ready to fire a more powerful blast as the shadow creature just stood there looking at her, she fired her magic. Her attack made contact with it, sending it backwards to a tree with enough force to break it upon contact, she landed and went to check on it only to be kicked again at the same side she had been kicked before. When Luna stood back up she saw that her attack did not seem to hurt it at all, however because it had a thick vail of dark mist around it she could not tell if it her attack did anything.

She was ready to continue the fight but then it held out one of it's hands towards Luna only for her to see it was starting to get brighter and a sphere of orange energy was building up in it. As the blast was fired she managed to see what she thought was the creatures face as the light from it's attack brightened greatly for a second but the only detail she got was that it had blue eyes and the rest of its face seemed to be covered by a hood.

The attack was not aimed at her but to the side of her and it completely disintegrated around 20 trees and made a large crater that was yellow around the sides from the temperature of the attack. As she looked back at the 'Shadow' it now had it's hand pointed at her with another attack ready but it did not fire. Luna decided to leave as if this was a warning then she did not want to enrage it more than she already has.

"The first attack was not a strong spell so it must have a resistance to magic but still a ursa major could likely handle it. It takes both me and Tai to stop one of them. But I should try to find out more about it if it does become a threat." Luna though as she flew back to the castle. Daniel stood still as he watched her leave and when she was gone he took off to scout the forest now that he had taken care of that pest.

A few hours later he returned home to find Annabelle happily eating the sweets he left while watching the TV. Before he entered the house he returned to his normal form then opened the door. She turned to the sound of the door opening to see Daniel now locking it before looking over at her.

"You're back, How is it out there?" Annabelle asked Daniel after she had paused the DVD player.

"It was not that dangerous, but don't get to confident about that Annabelle, It could just be a time of year when this forest is not as deadly and I did look around at night time, so most dangerous things could have been asleep." Daniel said before he decided to sit down. As he watched a few of the movies with her he saw a few forms and powers he thought he would try out from this superhero program. After a while he got up from the chair he sat on and headed outside to do some training.

He stood outside with a plan in mind. 'Learn to control his energy projection power.' He snapped his fingers and two giant rocks spawned. He then lifted the palm of his hand to one and focused on the amount to power he felt going through him. He used only a little bit of what he used back on Earth and the result was not what he hoped for as the first rock was disintegrated into dust so he then turned to the other rock and did the same thing but he only shot it when he felt like his energy was almost non existent and when the beam made contact the rock broke into smaller pieces.

"This is going to be harder than I though so perhaps I should try something else, but what? Heat vision? No, I could burn my eyes. Thermal vision? Why not. Let's see if I can." Daniel said to himself as he closed his eyes and willed it to happen then when he opened his eyes he looked around and he did indeed use it correctly but he felt like he had a mild headache so he stopped and made his vision normal.

"Ok, that was cool besides the headache part." Daniel then looked up into the sky and started to wonder about different ways to use his powers. After thinking for a moment he decided to try gazing at something far away and see if it was clear. He bent space around his eyes and he soon found that he could almost see the surface of what he was looking at despite the fact it is so far away, the surface of the sun. To see if this was not just a illusion he used it to look into the house and saw Annabelle sitting down and looking upset. He stopped what he was doing and went to look into the house through the window and sure enough she was sitting where he saw her and she did not look happy.

He went back inside and saw across from her. As he did she did not look at him or anywhere, she kept looking at the ground.

"Annabelle? Are you alright?" When he asked that she started crying and rushed over to him. "What's wrong?"

"Bro...is it true? Is our parents gone?" Her memories of the time she was freezing and barely awake were coming back to her. Daniel wrapped his arms around her.

"I'm afraid it is." A realization then hit him. She was the last family he had. All the rest, along with his friends were also all gone but he did not want her to see him cry so he tried to hold it back but failed.

"What...will we do?" She asked between gasps in her breathing.

"I don't know, for now. But I will in time, hopefully." He knew he could not bring the dead back so if he losses Annabelle he would probably give up on life. He did not care much about his powers. He would give them up right now if he could have his home and everyone he knows and loves back. "I'm sorry you have to go through this at your age. You should be out playing in the mud and throwing water balloons at people. Coming back and getting the carpet filthy and have a family there for you when you do great things in life. Things like that, not be stuck on a unknown planet and..." He could not finish his sentence.

After 20 minutes, Annabelle fell asleep against him. He carefully lowered her onto the couch and looked at her. He realized he was lucky to even have her with him and not be alone. As he thought about his parents and what happened to them he felt something boil in his and his hands started shaking. He realized the feeling, hatred and rage.

"Don't you worry Annabelle." He said with a smile on his face. "I won't let the same thing happen to you, when that thing tracks me here. It will be it who dies." He then laughed a little to himself before he felt the anger stop. Taking a deep breath, he stepped back outside. "If I am going to get revenge I need to get better with my powers." He remembered he had to move this house, now that 'Luna' had seen it and him next to it, it was likely she would visit again after getting her to go away.

He stepped outside and tried to see if he could life his house, as another way of training. He gripped the lifelike titanium tree and lifted it. It felt light to him. Almost like a large piece of Styrofoam you get in packages. He flew upwards and took great care not to move the tree house too much, looking around all he saw was forest so he flew in one direction until he saw a small opening and placed his tree house on the ground.

He decided to try a learn to bend the elements now that his house was away from the previous location by a good few acers of land. He focused on controlling the wind but only on a basic level to get started. He tried to send the wind one direction and he did with just a slight breeze, he did this a few times until he thought of moving on. This time he sent a high force of wind to the side but he was unprepared for it and got caught by the wind. He could not react in time and went head first into the tree. As he picked himself up he heard a snap from behind but just as he turned around the tree fell on top of him so he lifted the tree off of himself and got back to his training.

He now chose to try and learn to manipulate fire so he put his hand out with his palm facing upwards and imagined he was holding a fireball, after a few seconds he saw that he was holding one, he pulled his hand back, clenching the fire in his hand and then he pushed his hand out and opened his palm which caused the fireball to be fly a good bit away and after a few second Daniel heard a little explosion.

Using his space power on his eyes, he checked where the explosion happened and he looked around but found nothing that could start a forest fire as the fireball seemed to have landed in a swamp. He stopped using that space and eyes combo which he chose to name 'Space Gaze' and decided on what to learn next but when he felt and itch on his head and scratched it he discovered his hair was on fire. He caused another gust of strong wind to come towards him which put out the fire on his hair but caused him to fall to the ground and he picked himself up seconds later.

"PIA did say that my mind was unaffected when I merged, so I should try something related to that, let's try mind reading." He snapped his fingers and a lifeless clone of himself appeared then he imagined he was looking into the mind of it and found nothing then he willed it to stand and it did. Daniel was happy with his work until a few seconds later when the clones head exploded and he found a bit of the brain landed in his hand, to which he shacked it off in disgust. This confused him until he remembered he needed to watch how much power he put into whatever he did. "If I can learn the correct amount I need to use then hopefully I could avoid more side effects in the future."

Daniel now decided to try learning about time and knew he needed something to test on, so he snapped his hands and two lemons appeared on the ground near him. After getting himself ready, he focused on one of them, imagining time passing it and after a while he could feel a flow around his fingers as it was effecting everything around him, thankfully what he was doing was not interfering with it so far.

Then he concentrated on the flow but he unintentionally caused time to go faster and the first lemon rapidly aged into nothingness. He then tried the same with the other lemon only to have it explode like a bomb when he put to much raw power into it which cause him to rub his ears in pain.

At this point Daniel was staring to lose patience.

"Enough of this, I am going to learn more about time right now." Daniel said to himself angrily when he recovered from the explosion, he altered space around which made a barrier he intended to be used to keep things in, then he tried to feel times flow once more. "It's about understanding how it works, how it's power flows and what effect it has so if I can study what it can do when it is at its most powerful level then I will learn faster." He soon found the flow again and imagined himself grabbing it. He then tried looking into it's core.

He soon felt his mind going black and later found himself in a strange dark room with pictures that seemed to be moving. Looking around he realized what they were, views on how the power is used in different ways. After finding what he was looking for he checked to see how it was done. A few moments later he understood how it was done and now he only needed to train in doing it.

"Ok, I got what I wanted to know, now i should...should." He stopped to think. If he looked at the rest he could learn more easier that just guessing how it was done and not need to come back anymore. The opportunity to learn quickly was just to much for him to pass. He was so focused with looking at how they things were done that he didn't notice that it was getting out of control. He had been unintentional been pouring power into the time energy that was still in his hands which was causing it to act up.

He realised that very soon and he tried to will it to stop and even let it go but he could not as he did not understand time enough to stop this much of it and the strength of it destroyed the space barrier he set up. "Oh Crap" He was then forced out the room and when he was back in his body he let go of the time flow and backed off from it, once he was a good bit away from it he heard a voice he hoped he wouldn't hear right now.

"Big bro, are you done playing around?" Annabelle asked looking at him before she saw what he was backing away from. It was like a line of colors that went in circles and was speeding up. "What is that?"

It got brighter and then something that felt like an earthquake started to go through the area and a strong wind also started to gust through the area. The wind that was trying to pull them into the time flow. The sudden wind got Daniel and Annabelle by surprise but before they fell into the time flow Daniel got to Annabelle to shield her for what would happen when they fell in.

"I'm sorry Annabelle, for this, I am so stupid." He said in a worried voice.

"Why? What did you do?"

"I was just trying to learn how to control my powers and it was going so slow, I got annoyed and thought that if I could study the source of the energy, where it is strongest, than I could learn from it more quickly and it worked but I let my curiosity get the better of me." He explained to his sister as he feared this would be the last opportunity he would have to speak to her

"Daniel we have not even been here for one day...ONE DAY! Yet you still found a way to mess up." Annabelle said that with a hint of annoyance in her voice after she sighed.

"I know I know."

Back at the castle of the sisters

Luna had just returned to the castle which had taken her longer than she thought it would have thanks to her injuries, normally she flew over the forest during day time when she was done her duties but recently she has chosen to do it at night, wondering why her subjects choose to sleep her nights off when she works so hard on making then as beautiful as she can for them.

As flew she debated whether or not to go back and fight the creature only to accept the fact that if she wanted to beat it she would need to read about it and probably need her sisters help. When she was flying she got lost in though about what it could be and what it had done to the campers that were there. When she realise that she was not paying attention to the direction she was going and took a good amount of time trying to find an area of the forest she was familiar with. Now that she was back she planed to go to the library to find out about what she met in the woods. as she entered the front door she was greeted by her sister Celestia.

"Luna, where have you been? You have been out all night and...why are you injured?" She asked when she saw Luna had a bruise on her left next to her wing.

"I am fine Tia, it was just a creature I met in the woods but it was one I have never seem before." Luna mentions and saw her sister get a curious look on her face.

"Oh and what did this creature look like?" Celestia asked with a eyebrow raised.

"From what I saw and discovered from our encounter? It is a little resistant to magic and very strong but from how it acted it was not very intelligent. It looked like a walking shadow as all it had was dark fog coming off of it and it's eyes were bright white." Luna explained.

"How do you know it was resi-...Luna did you attack it first?" Celestia asked with a disappointed look on her face when she asked the second part. Luna knew what she meant as she remembered a few years ago she met a creature she did not know and attacked it as it threatened her only to discover a few hours later it was threating her because she was right next to it's nest.

"Ha-ha...about that." She said with a nervous laugh while ribbing her mane and looking down to the floor while Celestia just face hooved.

"Luna, one of these days you are going to pick a fight that you won't be able to win if you don't learn how to be more reasonable." Celestia said and Luna had just now remembered what her sister said.

"Have I truly be out all night?" She said with a shocked expression.

"Yes. You have Luna and it is time to lower the moon." Celestia said as she had just put her crown on with her magic.

"Can it not just last a while longer sister? Why must our subjects sleep my nights away when I work so hard on them?" Luna said in sadness and anger.

"Luna you know we can't do that. If we do then it could affect the farms that supplies the towns with food and we both know that would be bad." Celestia said to Luna and she just accepted it and lowered the moon then saw he sister raise the sun. Just as the sun rose Luna looked out the main castle door, that was still open from her return. The the moment the sun rose her subjects started to almost instantly go about there business. "Luna, Let go we have duties to do, when we are done I will look through the library and archives for anything related to this creature you mentioned. While you rest up." Celestia said to Luna as she walked off to do her duties but Luna did not move from her spot.

"Were they just waiting for my night to finish? Do they hate it that much that they won't allow it to be above there heads? Luna was now crying, almost sobbing. "Why do I make my nights? What is the point if they are not appreciated a little bit. Luna now started to feel anger build up within her. "If they love he day so much then I will never raise the moon again.....No. No. I will never lower it again. I will show them. I will make them appreciate the work I put into my nights." Luna was now full of rage.

Author's Notes:

Is there a story out there that shows an alternet universe where what would happen if Luna refused to raise the moon rather than lower it?

I think a story like that would be fun to read.
