I woke still sitting in the chair, it was dark out and everyone besides pinkie had gone home, because this was pinkies home, I could see a little light coming from the room that dashie was in, I quietly get up and walk down to the room, and as I look in I see rainbow dash, still in the position I last saw her in, asleep, I quietly walk in and sit in the chair besides the bed, watching over her, until I drifted back to sleep.

When I woke up the next time I saw pinkie and twilight watching us as we slept, creepy, I thought to myself, and I quietly get up and walk out of the room, twilight and pinkie following me out, twilight said good morning and she checked my latest stitches, there was a small infection but nothing major, " the surgery went well, quite well indeed, if I do say so myself, although we did have to file the bone down to size because you're so much bigger than her," says twilight " and I am happy to say that the bone went in perfectly after reshaping it and she'll make a full recovery"

I was thrilled by this news because it meant that dashie was going to be OK, and I had helped in some way in helping her.

I stayed near dashie to watch over her until she woke up, it was nearly a week until she woke up but I was there when she did.

I was watching over her when I saw her wing start to twitch, and I quietly notified twilight that she was wakeing up, and all the other elements gathered around as she opened her eyes. " what happened, where am I?" was her first words that she spoke,  and she tried to set up but as she did she cried out in pain, and twilight rushed over and got her some pain killers, we didn't talk to her much until the pain killers took affect, and she started speaking to no one in particular, " I remember being hit with the hammer and then a really big flash of light, then being in a weird state with the feeling I wasn't alone, then I'm here, what happened? ". Twilight told me to explain, and I told dashie about seeing her be injured, and my rage overflowing, and teleprtng everyone else besides her, which for some reason her body wouldn't travel, and she coming with me into my atomic state, and that the feeling of not being alone was because I could see her,  before I could say anything else twilight told her that I had given her one of my ribs so she could live, and she turned back to me, and asked " you gave me one of your ribs?" I turn to show her the scar where they had taken the rib out," so what happened to your face?" She asks, and I tell her about being hit with a metal rod by twilight and being bucked in the face by applejack, because they thought that it was my atomic blast that hurt her, and she went kinda pale as she looked over at applejack, who was trying to hide behind everyone when I said this, and looked back at me, asking me why I had given a rib to her, " you know the answer to that dashie, it is something that doesn't really need to be voiced". From the back of the room pinkie yells " someone has a cru - ush, someone has a cru- ush", I shoot her a look that shut her up, but twilight wasn't about to drop the subject, and she asked me if it was true, but she didn't get any answer from me or dashie, dashie had blushed pretty profusiosly and twilight must have guessed that it was true by dashies reaction, but as she went to say something else I stare her down, shutting her up quickly, but before I could say anything another letter appeared.

FUCK! I hear fluttershy say, probably another battle was about to happen, but we were mildly surprised that Celestias had summoned us to the elemental castle, we had a da to pack some things as we would be there longer than a day, according to the letter, but we had a problem: there was no way in hell that dashie could fly, so I had another idea: I could carry dashie on my back, and no one put up a argument, as this was probably the best way to get her there, so with this we left rainbow dash to sleep while we packed some stuff.

We were halfway to the elemental castle, dashie was on my back, sleeping as I flew along, fluttershy and twilight next to me, rarity, aplejack andpinkie running under us as we flew, in one of my hoofs was a large sack of personal belongings, something that the letter said to bring, as we rounded the crest of the mountain we saw the elemental castle in all of its glory, a familiar figure waiving us in from a balcony, Celestias greets us as we land, pinkie, applejack and rarity right behind us as they climbed the mountain, and when they reached us celestia led us into the large main chamber, and celestia asked why I had rainbow dash on my back, so as we walked I told her the story, starting from seeing dashie get injured, ending with dashie waking up and the letter appearing, and she wanted to know what had happened to my jaw, twilight told her about me being atacked by her and applejack because they thought I had hurt rainbow dash with my atomic blast, we soon reached the side of the main room that led off into the individual rooms, and celestia told us to put our stuff in our rooms, and this was going to be a long day.

Applejack had put dashie stuff in our room, dashie herself as still on my back, nustled in between my wings, when I had to wake her so that whatever was about to happen could begin.

I had gotten rainbow dash awake and sitting on the floor, when celestia pulled out a small red book, and asked me to go get my book, the one that had given me my reactor from my room, when. Had retrieved it celestia put forth books on the floor, on one circle that was part of a larger version of the circle in the room where I had become a element, and with a whoosh both books seemed to melt together, becoming a really big book with the words "harmony and destruction" on the cover, the newly created book glowing a nice blue light from within,  as we watched celestia opened the book and sat it on the circle again, the page she had turned it to was completely blank, by as we watched the book began to glow bright red, and words began to appear, for ng to fast for me to see them, but celestia began saying the words faster than we could understand her, the book began to lift into the air, pages moving faster than we could register, and with a chill of cold we were transported to a empty abiss.

I could still see the other elements, they to floating in the nothingness, but something was definitely wrong here, they were all in the same position, front legs to their sides, head down, with a start I realize I was in the same position and couldn't move. From nowhere Celestias voice rang out, still to fast for me to understand, and with a hoot of fear I saw the others start the change.

The change wasn't to different from our elemental one, besides they all stayed in a mostly equestrian form, fluttershy didn't have the snake tail, but all of them had light pouring out of their eyes and mouths, me doing the same, skin darkened as if I was going elemental, but the rush of energy that hit was far greater than even when I go atomic.

It was a amazing feeling, although the horror of realizing that you're bones and body was changing shape wasn't, all of our bones had begun to enlongate, making us taller and more muscular, rarity and twilights horn began to enlongate, although mine had probably done the same thing but I just couldn't see it, and with a flash we were back in the main room of the castle

It was good to be able to move again, although it came with a shock of just how big I was tall now, and heavily muscled, I had always been kinda muscular but this was a whole new scale, muscles rippling as I moved, and with xa,start I realized I was as tall as celestia. She had always towered over us by atleast two feet, but now I was able to look her right in the eye, she seemed tired, almost as if the spell had drained away her energy, as I looked around I saw the others had gone through a similar change, but their muscles were predominantly in the legs while my chest had also become highly muscled, and as I looked down I realize my reactor had changed.
