Chapter 11: Chara's Mental Breakdown / Song Of Healing: Final Chapter

Previous Chapter

Author's Notes:

*scratches back of head* Please forgive me if there are things in this chapter you dislike.

I heard silver say from beside me. “you smug little-” before he was cut off by Celestia.

“Silver Bullet, please, you’ve done enough as it is. When we get home, I'm going to strip you of your title and send you off to anger management classes.”

“But Princess-” Silver was cut off as Celestia wasn’t gonna have any of that.

“No buts!” Celestia said with a deep voice, she means business. “Now, Chara.. I have a few questions and I suggest you cooperate. First, Silver Bullet is right, you need to go to school, you can make new friends and perhaps spend time with them rather than you going off to cause mischief. I have a lot on my hooves and I don’t want you stacking anymore than I can handle.”

“You'd have a better chance of getting Tirek to be upstanding citizen then getting me to go to school” Chara said with a giggle.

Celestia chose to ignore that statement. “I mean it, Chara… “

“Me too. I've been to school once, I'm not going again.” Chara said with a more serious expression and her hands on her hips

“Chara, she’s right, making friends might help you out.” I said, crossing my arms. “That way, you can hang out with other people besides me.”

“It’s either that, or… No more chocolate from Mr. or Mrs. Cake, even if you do have the Bits.” Celestia said.

I saw Charas eye twitch and she moved her hand up, looking like she was accessing something.

“The second set of Elements of Harmony I have in my inventory that I guess you don't want.” Chara said in the overly happy tone pulling out a purple star-shaped gem.

Celestia looked unamused, but soon a smile spread across her muzzle. “If they are indeed the elements of harmony from your world..” She said, but said no more, possible sending Chara in minor confusion.

Suddenly, the lone gem start to fade to gray. “Since the original bearer no longer exists along with my other counterpart, it cannot function anymore. And for a good reason. If two of the same element of harmony were near, it would of caused some… undesired effects. Do the words ‘Elements of Chaos’ ring a bell?” She asked. A thousand years ago, Discord had that idea before, and when they two opposite met each other, let’s just say the world ended up more warped than before.

she grumbled throwing the gem back in her inventory before pulling out a red and black amulet “how about the Ali corn Amulet or another crystal heart I have one of those too? she said a little desperation leaking into her voice.

“The original crystal empire can’t fuel it anymore and I’d rather not chance it to see if it would work for Cadence. As for your copy of the amulet.. Well, it might contain a different wavelength compared to mine. Yes, I did create one when I was younger.”

“You made this ****ing thing, do you know how hard it was to even fight Twilight when she was wearing this? She actually managed to nearly dust A five-soul Zalzar!”Chara screamed anger clear on her face.

“You would do the same in my position, young and experimenting with magic.” Celestia said, but of course she left out a secret of hers out of her story.

“Well, you can literally ask for anything, I have looted the entirety of my Equestria to the rafters anything really, what do you want to not send me to school!?” Chara said finally moving on from her anger.

“I’m sorry, but this is for your own good.” She said, her horn lights of a yellow spark, suddenly causing a magical rune to activate from under Chara, but nothing happened, or so it appeared.

“Don't you ****ing do this Sunbutt I swear I will have my Vengeance that will make the bloody pits of Tartarus look like a nice vacation do you he-” Chara was cut off as she vanished.

“Uh.. Where did she go?” I asked, I was honestly expecting something else.

“She’s gone to school, like I wanted her to go. You see Link, ever since she arrived in our world, I’ve always sense her bottled up pain, I believe that once she makes friends and hang out with them, she’ll be able act like her age.” Celestia explained, I had to prevent myself from laughing. If only she knew that Chara has the mind of a much more older person.

“What about me? You brought me here for some reason.” I asked.

“I want you to keep track of her progress, send me reports to see if she’ll improve, she needs this more than ever. It was either that, or send her to the moon so she would stop creating so much mischief for Ponyville.” She said with a gentle sigh.

“I hope you’re aware that you interrupted a dinner I was having with the Dancers, right?” I asked with a slightly annoyed look.

“Yes, and I sent a guard to explain what happened. Don’t worry, I can return you to them to finish, and afterwards I can bring you back when you’re done.” Celestia said with an apologetic smile. “Oh, I forgot to mention, and I know she’ll be very upset, but she won’t be able to use her powers for a while. That spell took me a long time to get ready because of how alienated your friend is.”

I couldn’t help but feel sorry for the kids and teachers, may god have mercy on then.

“Princess there's a Ruckus at the school!” a random guard came flying through the door saying “a child is trying to take their own life!”

Celestia frown at this and sighed deeply. With a flash, she was gone, reappearing at the location where Chara is.

“-’ll die and I'll come back and there's nothing anybody can do to stop me and I'll get my powers back and then that b***h will pay!” she heard Chara screaming as she was about to stab herself through the heart.

Suddenly, the knife was yoinked away by a golden glow by Celestia, wearing a stern expression, Chara has got to be the most stubborn child in Equestrian history.

“You can't stop me from dying sun b***h!” Chara screamed turning to her when her knife was taken.

“Except you’ll be dead.. For good. The spell I placed on you is nullifying your powers. Do you not want a normal life? Do you want to be sad for the rest of your life? Do you want to keep feeling pain and sorrow forever? I am TRYING to help you…” Celestia explained.

“Then at least I'll go out on my terms! my powers are the only thing that makes me me!” Chara said tears starting to spill from her eyes “they're the only thing I have left!”

“And I want to give you more, the very things that other world took from you, Chara.” Celestia said as she took a step forward.

“But all I've ever been was an unstoppable weapon, what good is the weapon that can't do anything!?” Chara cried

“But that’s not you, Chara, it's what your universe tried to turn you into, you need to be yourself.” She said, slowly wrapping her wing around Chara. “Would you do it if I promise you a life supply of chocolate? Every day, I'll send a mailmare or mailstallion to deliver it to you..” Celestia was honestly running out of options.

“But I need my powers, everything I own is in my inventory! Everything Zelzer gave me!” Chara was sobbing at this point “I can't even get the locket he made me!”

“Oh dear, I’m sorry.. I only did it because I knew you’d just come back just to avoid going to school, I want you to make friends, it’s all I ask. If I give you back the power to use your inventory, would you stay in school?” Celestia asked, softly hugging Chara with her wing.

“I guess but I want all my power!” Chara said still crying “I-I don't want to be mortal again.” Chara said in a small voice

“So you fear death, is that it?” Celestia asked, now using a more softer voice.

“Y-Yeah.” Chara said pulling her legs close to her.

“Alright, Chara.. Let’s make a deal. What will it take for you to go to school and behave? Well, besides giving you your powers back?” Celestia asked.

“Nothing! I never going to leave my room. it's not safe without my powers” Chara screamed fear leaking into her voice.

“So there is nothing I can do to get you to go to school and be a good little filly?” Celestia asked.

“No! at least with my Powers I know I can't die permanently but without them I'll be weak again people will be able to hurt me again and I can't make them pay for it.” Chara said curling up even more

“But none of the fillies here will do that.” Celestia said.

“You don't know that! you're powerful enough that people fear to mess with you!” Chara screamed at Celestia before curling back in on herself.

“My ponies don’t fear me, yes, I am powerful but I used those powers to help others. You need to remember that this isn’t your world, the only ones that mean harm are the dark ones, such as Tirek and Discord.” Celestia said.

“Not the ponies, I meant the other nations because you control the sun, you could just hover it over their country and just flash fry them with it, that's why they fear you.” Chara said

“Now why would I do that?” She asked with an annoyed frown. “There are no nations that fear me, unless there is a place those foul monsters came from that Link has been slaying, then I’ll gladly accept those who fear me. I care about my little ponies and if I was a mortal, I would lay my life down for them.”

“But I don't care about other people! every time I do they end up dying or betraying me!” Chara screamed back

“Would Link betray you?” Celestia asked, knowing Chara will understand. “From what he has told me, he cares about you. He only wants to give a brighter future”

“No, he'll be on the list of people who died! Cuz it always happens no matter how hard I try!” Chara screamed burying her face.

“No, he won’t. He is a capable warrior and he will grow stronger with time.” Celestia said. “And if he does… “Her voice turned into a soft whisper. “I will bring him back, it's not something I like to do though, but I can do it for your sake.”

“But Zelzar died and he's the one who erased my universe! he did it to take what killed him with him!” Chara screamed at Celestia

“But that was your Celestia, not me. She’s evil, I am not…” Celestia said, saying those words left a bad taste in her mouth, she honestly didn’t like it knowing there were alternative versions of herself that are polar opposites of herself.

“How can I trust you when you took the only thing that keeps me safe!” Chara said her voice becoming very small

Celestia frowned at that. “Because we haven’t made a deal and I really do want you here, I promise I’ll give it back to you if you be a good mare for me, it's all I ask.” She looked down at Chara to smile, a sincere motherly smile.

“l-I'll try as long as I get my powers back first.” Chara stuttered wiping the tears from her eyes and sniffing loudly.

“Pinkie Promise?” Celestia asked as she raised her hoof near Chara.

“I pinky promise that I'll try to be good as long as I get all of my powers back first and never get them sealed again.” Chara said going through the motions.

Celestia smile at that. And with a spark of her horn, Chara’s powers were returned.

Chara brightened up as she felt her powers return. Suddenly, she pulls a heart-shaped pendant out of thin air and places it around her neck Celestia could feel the powerful flow of magic radiating from the necklace.

“I-is she alright now?” a slightly spiky haired razz berry colored pony came in.

“Yes, for now at least.” Celestia said with a smile. The other pony sighed in relief.

“haha yes I'm Immortal again” Chara said bringing attention back to herself as the load button was floating in midair in front of her.

“Ah-ah-ah~ You better not be doing what I think you’re doing.” Celestia said as she wiggled a hoof.

“Oh, I'm not running.” Chara said quickly before closing the load button before whispering “yet” to quietly for Celestia to understand.

“Remember, you made a Pinkie Promise, a young pinkie filly will come if you break it.” Celestia said with such a confident smile.

Celestia sees Chara shuttered. “Yeah, I know of that pink crime against sanity.” Chara said looking thoroughly annoyed.

“Now, if everything is fine, I need to return to Canterlot. Remember, Pinkie Promise~” She said in a sing song voice, and then with a bright flash, she was gone.

Chara started giggling, feeling the entire room with dread. “I said I would try to be good, I never said how long I would try. I really should have been a lawyer leaving so many loopholes” Chara said before turning to the teacher with a grin that would make the Devil Himself cringe sending a stutter through her.

The teacher frowned at this. “Just try, ok, for Celestia’s sake?” She said with a sigh. She sounded a little tired. “Class, we have a new student.” She said. ‘Even if she did come out of nowhere.’ She mumbled.

Chara notices that fillies have been silent and staring at her all this time, a few of them looked confused, some of them look curious, others are interested while some had mischief in their eyes

“Greetings, I'm Chara. I have the power to negate my own death I hate everyone equally and there's no one alive that can guess my sexual preference.” Chara said with an evil grin leaving the entire room either stunned revolted or confused.

“This is going to be a long day…” Cheerilee said, she is seen taking pills behind the desk outside of view.

“Miss Cheerilee what does sexual preference mean?” a filly from the back of the class asked.

“Oh! U-um.. Ask your parents when you get home..” Cheerilee said.

“Oh okay!” the filly said looking thoroughly confused

Chara moved to the back of the room, took her seat, and plopped her feet up on the desk with a smile, knowing the damage that she had done.

The school day went by quickly after that with her answering every question other than history almost perfectly, finally it was time to go home.

Chara was halfway down the street when she heard several parents scream “What! Where did you learn that!?”
She started humming the troll song while walking a little faster knowing that her pissing off all the parents was done, and negating the whole reason why Celestia sent her to school.

Chara soon bumps into someone. It was the pink one herself, she gives Chara a glare, then she does the unexpected. She raised her hoof, blew into it and formed a hand, she then pointed at her ears, then pointed at Chara. Slowly, she backs away into the bushes, still glaring at her.

Before she leaves Chara says “I never said how long I had to try!” with her best troll face

Chara didn’t get to finish that sentence when a rubber hammer hit her in the back the head.

“God dammit pink one you're worse than the annoying dog!” Chara screams out “plus I never broke your stupid promise!” Chara said huffing in annoyance

A strange recording repeated her words. While she did try, she kind of stopped trying afterwards. Suddenly, Chara notices a pink dog spying on her, giggling innocently since Chara did compare her to a dog.

“No don't tell me those Abominations actually fused!” Chara whispered fearfully

Suddenly, the pink one pops up in her face. “Nope, I just have a lot of.. Connections~” She said, only to disappear the moment Chara blinked, it reminded her of a certain SCP...

“F**k this s**t I'm out!” Chara said before turning away and leaving only to bump into, you guessed it, me.

“Pinkie Pie told me.” I said with a stern glare.

"I can say with all honesty that I did try” Chara said with a to innocent smile.

I let out a long sad sigh. “Yes, you did.. That is until you created that one scene” I said before reaching up and rubbing my head. “Are you even aware of how many ponies I had to speak to because they were outraged at what you did?”

“Well the teacher did asked me to say a bit about myself.” Chara said as if that was a perfectly good reason

“Not to that kind of content.” I let out another sigh. “Is this just sick kicks, Chara? I mean you’ve been in my world how long? You’ve yet to change…”

“What did you expect? I've had to constantly kill for a year straight, that's all I've been doing is fight and kill"

“But this!” I quickly raised my hand and slapped it along my palm. “Is not your world! Stop treating it like it is.” I said angrily.

“Link if I was treating this as my world this entire Village would be a smoldering crater and I would be setting up explosives to blow Canterlot off the mountain” Chara said with a deadpan expression

“I meant attitude wise, you’ve caused mischief around ponyville, destroyed a lil people of filly innocent except for the ponies you care about, Celestia was trying to get you to be good, but apparently that blew up a tiny bit.” I said, placing my leather gloved hand on my face. “I don’t know what to say to you, Chara.. I really don’t know.”

“Link, the thing is I'm not a good person I've never been a good person I tortured my universes captain of the royal guard to Insanity because I felt like it even though I was probably not ready to face him,, the only thing I know how to do is be a weapon” Chara said in the dead voice

“So you don’t want to change, despite being in a much better world compared to your own?” I asked.

“Link, I'm a weapon, do you know what you do with weapons? You point them at your enemies and kill them, I'm going to ever free before some guards get it in their head that they have the right to punish me” Chara said in annoyance.

“Oh, I suppose I’m a weapon too since I wield many, but that doesn’t mean I'm gonna waste it on childish mischief.” I pointed at her. “As for the guards, they’re only doing their job, except for Silver Bullet, he’s gonna be changing or forever be untitled to General.” I said, lowering my head with a sigh. “Tell me, what do you want to do with your life, besides being ponyville’s number one Trickster?”

“Link, I just need to do what I was made into be the perfect weapon” Chara said her voice was dead.

I gave Chara firm, long, hard, glare. “...So be it. Do whatever, but if you dare bring any harm or put any pony in danger..” I kneeled down to her eye level. “I will not hesitate to protect them. I will not kill you, but I will cripple you.” I got up, turned, and left, ignoring any witty response Chara could muster.

Chara pulled up the load button and disappeared from the area, then minutes later hundreds of explosions were going off in the everfree.

“Good, maybe she’ll shrink it down, assuming she’s got more power than the magic the Everfree magic.” I said, continuing to walk, not caring where the road leads. I was wishing her world was never Erased so I can send her back, she was becoming more troublesome as each day passes, it was like if she didn’t see any form of destruction or chaos, she would explode from boredom. “It’s a good thing she isn’t near Canterlot when she pulls this.” I said to myself.

Suddenly Celestia teleported in front of me, and I just had to frown at this. “Go back, Celestia, it's just Chara throwing a hissy fit. She won’t give up her whole ‘I’m a weapon’ nonsense.” I said, I really didn’t want to tell off the princess, but I was in a bad mood.

“I know Link, I heard everything through Silver Bullets surveillance spell.” Celestia said.

“Nothing I can really do. You tried your motherly ways, you tried treating her like a kid offering rewards for good behavior.. But..” I said before allowing my arms and head to hang loosely. “I feel she’s a lost cause, her world is just so deeply drilled into her mind.”

There was an explosion of black energy from the middle of the everfree, taking out one fourth of it. However, the magic makes the trees quickly grow back and in return, retaliates back at Chara.

Celestia started to look worried when there was no more sounds of explosions.

I let out a gentle sigh. “Guess we better go see, maybe she’s crying to herself or the forest has her bound in vines.” I said before making my way to wherever Chara is.

We soon found her passed out on the ground smoke wafting from her body with her arms and legs bound spread eagle by four trees.

“That’s what you get for angering Mother Nature.” I said softly, slowly making my way to her. Now, since I used to live in this forest, I’ve always gave it respect, oh sure there were a lot of times we had our disagreements in the beginning since I was kind of an intruder in her home, but after I showed her my Magic Beans, she had second opinions.

I slowly reached up, but waited. Slowly, the vines slowly unraveled to let Chara down, I grabbed her and slung her over my shoulder. “If only there was a way..” I said, slowly making our way out until we eventually got back to the cabin. A sudden deja vu washed over me and I just had to sigh at the memory.
I placed her down on the bed, my mind still trying to think of way where she can just be herself, or himself before he was Displaced as Chara, I mean that’d be silly if he was still a weapon before then.

When I placed her on the bed, she cringes a little for some reason. Celestia notices this and starts scanning Chara, suddenly Celestia gasps at what she finds. “Her muscles have been torn from her bones, how is she not screaming in agony!?” Celestia asked.

“Determination. It’s a power she has that allows her to get through and prevail over anything. Don’t worry, she’ll be good as new later on, or she can just use her powers to Reset her body.” I explained to Celestia.

“Link, I'm worried about her even if she has this determination, she shouldn't be able to sleep through this kind of pain” Celestia said with a concerned expression on her face.

“Considering what she’s been through, she’s learned to endure the pain as if it wasn’t happening.” I explained with a shrug.

“But what could she have been through to make it where she can sleep through this with nothing but a slight cringe?” she asked turning back to Chara looking at her in sorrow.

“I guess you’ll have to either look into her mind, or wait till she wakes up.” I said, slowly getting up. “If you don’t mind, Celestia, I’m gonna need some time alone outside..” I slowly walked out, but I did listen to her next response.

“I'm going to check out her mind link”

I turned my head, nodded at her, then left the house.

Celestia’s eyes went wide. “No, it can’t be…” she whispered as she casted the scan spell again. “Her mind’s been poisoned…” Celestia said, she couldn’t get far into her memories in fear of damaging her power, she runs out of the cabin.

Celestia forces me back into my home before I had a chance to do anything, she explains to me what happened and soon worry finds it way into my mind.

Thinking quickly, I pulled out the Ocarina Of Time. “I hope this works..” I said, then began to play the song of healing, and I did the full song in an attempt to heal her mind and rid of the poison.

One by one, seven masks appeared, each one wearing a face, I recognized two of them while Celestia gasped at two of them, the rest I could not describe. The last one took on a form similar to majora.

I took offense to that damn thing, that last mask must be presenting the poison that Nightmare used from Chara’s memory of that game as a form of mockery at me. I reached out and grabbed a hold of Majora’s Mask. Celestia ignite her horn and lit the false mask up in flames, I quickly threw it into the fireplace as it screamed in pain, it even sounded like Majora’s Mask. The last remain of the masks that floated around, Celestia decided to take them for herself, she told me she was going to try and free them into the afterlife, but she also needed a moment to talk to them first, she didn’t want them to know of their counterparts. Although, Counter Luna might try to fight her other self. She turns to look back the two masks she looked at earlier with tears in her eyes.

“Chara is not gonna be happy with me when she realizes that those souls are no longer within her..” I whispered.

Chara groaned waking up “What happened? The last thing I remember is some RuneScape appearing under me before everything goes hazy like a dream.” Chara said sitting up and holding her head.

“...Runescape?” I asked in confusion, slowly putting my ocarina away.

“Y-Yeah Celestia summoned ruins under me and everything is foggy after that” Chara said

“You must of suffered from memory loss because of Nightmare’s toxin.” Celestia suggested.

“What do you mean nightmares toxin. ” Chara asked with confusion written all over her face

Celestia pointed at the fireplace, which was now letting out slight purple smoke. “Link expelled it from your body using his ocarina.” Celestia explained.

“You mean Moon b***h actually left something in me!?” Chara screamed with hatred in her voice.

“In your mind.” I corrected her. “I think that would explain your memory loss.” I said. For some reason, I felt as if someone was behind me, sniffling.. I almost fell over when I found a pink horse on my shoulders.

“Ahh It's the pink one!” Chara screamed falling backwards.

“I’m sorry!” She said with a sniffle. “I accused you of breaking the promise but it was actually the meanie mare’s fault.”

“You mean black snooty?” Chara said trying to look innocent as Celestia gave her a look

“Hey, that’s even better!” She said with a giggle.

Chara notices something out of the corner of her eye a mask lying innocently on the table “Link the six Souls that came with Zelzars didn't happen to get turned into masks did they “she said looking at link accusingly

“Uh! Well I, um. What else could I have done? Your mind was poisoned..” I said with my arms crossed

“uh-huh” she hummed before her hand shot up a blue rope popping out of her Palm and grabbing onto the Luna mask, she whipped her hand to slam the mask into my face. “Have fun with that.” Chara said with a happy grin

“S-” But I didn’t get a chance to speak, the mask’s power released a starry burst of energy as my body was forced to undergo a transformation, becoming that of Princess Luna, except the end of her hair had shades of green, plus the tunic was altered to fit the alicorn body. Even the eyes have changed to a darker blue.

“Hahahaha, you're hahaha you're a mare, haha!” Chara said rolling on the ground laughing.

“That’s not funny.” I said, reaching up to pull the mask off, but I found a small problem, I didn’t know how to grab with those hooves. “Hylia dammit, Chara!”

“What's the matter, princess need some saving?” Chara said with a trollface.

I glare at Chara, and if she was paying attention, she would of noticed his eyes changing into red slits for a brief moment.

Chara was still laughing while Celestia tried to get the mask off but she couldn't do it, it was stuck on my face. “Why isn’t this coming off!?” I yelled in anger, trying harder but to no avail, I growls deeply in my horse voice. “Take it off, Chara.” I asked. Because I’m not the one who put on the mask, I was unable to remove it.

“Well excuse me princess” Chara said doing her best impression of the cartoon link before she fired off another blue rope and grabbed the mask before starting to pull only for nothing to happen

I heard a voice spoke in my mind. “We will not allow thou to do that, we have been trapped in that wretched child’s body for far too long, we would like to have some freedom. However, it seems we’ll be sharing this mind with you since you’re in control of the mask you turned me into.”

“Great, because of you, Chara, she refuses to be removed.” I said.

“Well, she shouldn't have invaded zelzar’s dream. otherwise he wouldn't have skewered her ass from every direction with his magical Spears”

I suddenly heard her scream in my mind, forcing me to repeat her words.
“Well, if thou hadn't come to our perfect world of Harmony, it would still be intact” the lunar dream invader screamed. Her very rage was making my form’s hair expand with cosmic power, I let out a long sigh.

“Maybe if you hadn't enslaved everyone, I wouldn't have had to f*** it up” Chara said with no emotion in her voice “Plus just think of this as payback for the nightmares you gave every non Pony to keep them docile.”

“This was a horri-” Suddenly my voice is taken control of by the opposite-luna.

“It was to keep them in their place as well as yourself!” She screamed.

“Will you stop that!”

“No, I will not be silence by a knave!”

“Oh yea? Well, this knave pulled you out of her body!” I screamed back and went silence.

“..Yes, I suppose you did free us from that demoness’s control.”

Celestia has been silent to this point… Would this alternative Luna still be called a sister despite the difference?

“Oh thanks for the title I'll wear it with pride” Chara said her chest puffed out “you know it was fun killing all of your ponies moon b***h.

“Dear sister, different thou maybe, why haven’t thou turned her to stone? She has killed many!”

“...Because your world is not mine, my alternative opposite failed to treat harmony the right way. Harmony is something that is given, not forced upon.” Celestia said with a darn good poker face.

“Plus I haven't killed any of her ponies here, besides you're still in the moon here, how's that feel?” Chara said with a smirk knowing mentioning the moon pissed her off.

“Thou DARE to remind us!?” She screamed using my vocals.

“Ok, that's it!” I said, clearly just as pissed off with her. With a mental strain, I managed to push her in the back of my mind, my form’s sight going blank as I found myself in a strange void that looked like a mix of Link’s home and Luna’s castle. “Listen here, and listen well, LUNA. Your body and your mind is fused with me for the time being, I am the hero of Ponyville. You are in my world, you are not welcomed in MY world, but if you wish to live in it, you must treat it the same as I do!”

The Dream Luna opposite glared at me with disdain and I stared back with equality. A moment of silence and she finally gave up. “Fine… But could you at least give me a body of my own?”

“I will try, but you must change your name. Remember, you are not my world’s Luna nor are you this world’s Celestia’s sister. Mark my words, if you dare try to repeat your world’s history, I will not back off from a fight!” I said, and she snorted in annoyance, I nodded and returned to conscious.

I let out a sigh, relieved to have some control. “Now… Seeing as it’s my fault for turning them into masks, I believe we should give them two choices.. Afterlife, or try to find or make bodies for them and remind them that this isn’t their world, I’d hate for them to see friends or loved ones that look like theirs, only to be heart broken afterwards. Any suggestions?”

“I say we just destroy them all, there's nothing good that can come from keeping them” Chara said unrepentantly

“You should've thought of that before you slapped your Luna's mask on me, Chara. Yes, I know it's my fault for turning them into masks.” I said.

“Everyone deserves a second chance, and I will make sure they change for the better.” Celestia said.

Chara suddenly burst out laughing” Oh you're serious? Let me laugh even harder.” Chara said then doubled over laughing harder than before.

“Oh, you don’t want to give them another life? Then I guess I shouldn’t try giving you one either.” Celestia said sarcastically.

“Celestia something's don't change I maybe an unrepentant killer but there are things that even I don't do I don't do slaves I don't do mind control or memory modifications and l don't do
Rape” Chara said with a cold look on her face

“But you do cause small misery for my little ponies, Chara. And I’m sure you’ve seen your friend a little annoyed by your addicts” Celestia said with a frown.

Chara ignored Celestia and continued “But do you know who does do that kind of things the ponies from My world” Chara finished rage clearly showing in her eyes.

“Oh for Hylia’s sake, Chara, this isn't your world. Yes, six of them from your world is here, but that’s as far as it can go!” I said with a groan, laying my form’s muzzle into my hooves, reminding me of the futile efforts of making them change.

“and that's why I think we should destroy them link they're from my world” Chara said with a serious expression

“It can’t be done, Chara. If we destroy those masks, they’ll turn into vengeful spirits, much like Nightmare Moon as they despise non-ponies. Do you really want that? They’ll possess someone and go after you and Link. It’ll a never ending cycled and thus, reducing the population of my little ponies and the rest of the world.” Celestia explained with a good point.

“Then why can't we just toss them into the void it'll eventually erase their existence” Chara said in an exasperated tone of voice “besides it's not like anyone truly cares about them here!” Chara said eyes flickering to me as I felt Luna scream in rage inside my mind

“Bad-” I cringed at her voice. “-Idea. What if those masks survive and entered another Displaced’s world?” I said.

“How about we just toss them into the mirror dimension then cuz I know I wouldn't care if they just rotted and nobody would ever miss them “Chara said starting to get aggravated

“No, then they’ll find hosts there as well. The mirror goes to the human world.” Celestia suggested.

“Oh I know all about your mirror portal Celestia and about how Sunset Shimmer went through it” Chara said scathingly “besides I'm talking about links mirror portal”

“Don’t remind me..” Celestia said with a grumble.

I had to excuse myself physically to enter my back when I felt the alternative Luna wondering around in my mind.

“What? I’m not doing anything” She said, raising her head like she was those snooty unicorns. “You are away I’m a mixed body, right? I feel your hatred toward us, you need to let it go for the sake of this world. You don’t want to end up as another Nightmare, do you?”

“...You’re very smart for a non-pony..” She commented with a tilt of her head.

“And besides, I don’t need you wondering my mind. I have a being inside of me, much like when you had the Nightmare inside of you and I’d rather not have you find him and trigger his violent nature.” I said with reasoning.

She simply stared at me deep in thought. “Did It get inside of you because of jealousy?”
“No, it manifested because of my negativity, my sadness, my anger. It despises all life, and I've had it locked away in my mind. It’ll kill you if you even get near it.” I said with a warning. “Plus, I believe it is in your best interest to behave. If your Nightmare is anything like ours, then your knowledge would best benefit to our cause.” I said, then listened to what maskLuna might say.

“No answer? Have it your way. You’re only as equally bad as Chara since she too, refuses to change. By the way, how long are you going to keep hold of me?” I asked. I really didn’t want to go in public looking like an altered Luna, I might end up creating mass hysteria.

“Once you get me a body, until then I will not let my freedom go.” She said in a serious tone, I frowned at her response.

“In my mind? Hardly.” I said with my arms crossed.

“I meant freedom of thought, you idiot.” Luna said with an angry snort.

“Well, excuuuuuuse me, princess!” I did a false bow. Yea, I know the jokes been used, sue me. This, in return made her a little angry, but she forced herself to calm down. “Also, a small reminder? Keep a low profile on your emotions? I’d hate for the Nightmare to take notice of there being a second Luna, she might try to take over when I’m asleep and try to replicate herself.”

She was at a loss for words, she wanted to keep a hold of her anger and hatred of non-ponies, but she couldn’t because of my logic, I know for the fact she can sense my willingness to protect the ponies despite our species’s difference.

Slowly, Shadow Link walks in with caution in his step. I quickly looked over at him, his face remaining a blank and dull expression. Now, this guy had a lot of intelligent, but he never spoke, preferring to allow his body language to do the talking, or his shadow blade if he’s in a bad mood, I even if you can call his twenty four hour expression as angry.

He looked over at Luna then blinks, not even allowing confusion to plaster his face. “Who… Is she.” it asks, not even bothering to sound like he’s asking.

“Speak of the devil and he may appear..” I said in mocking gesture.

“This is your Shadow? He looks just like you.. Only shadowy..”

“..You may call me Shadow Link.” It said with a slow bow, but what surprised me was that It went to grab Luna’s hoof and kiss it like a gentlemen. Luna pulled her hand back in disgust.
“...Shame, you could of been the one.” He said with a shrug.

“Any reason you’re out of your cage, Shadow?” I asked, watching him with caution.

He held up a broken bar. “It broke...” He said with no emotion in his voice. “Something about her presence.” He held out a leather gloved hand toward the blue horse.

“...Oh, too much pressure in power?” I asked, and he nodded. “...Shadow, why are you so calm about this? Usually when you’re free, you try to take over.”

He said nothing, only to point at the cosmic Luna again. “..What?” Suddenly, it dawned on me. I looked over at Shadow and-... he’s smiling!? Oh dear Farore, don’t tell me he’s in love…

“No, shadow. No.. ooooh nonononoo.. No.. “I said, shaking my head rapidly.

“...What? What is it?” Luna asked in confusion and I just had to face-palm.

“Do you really want to know?” I asked and she nodded. When I told her, Luna looked very horrified, she even repeated my words.

“No way in Tartarus!” She yelled, then proceeded to spit out, even though nothing came out. “You’re not even worthy to even TOUCH me, let alone love me you disgusting ape!”

Shadow stared at her, then he shrugged his arms. “Say what you will, my heart is attracted to your shadow.”

“MY shadow?!” Luna said, let out loud tsh between her teeth.

“Yes.. Your shadow, it is filled with hate like my own.” Shadow said.

“Don’t compare me to you! I only hate those who are not my little ponies.” she said.

Suddenly, Shadow Link is in her face, and with one swift ripping motion, literally pulls out Luna’s shadow. It slowly takes on a form of its own, a clone of the original, but as a shadow with glowing blue eyes.

Luna looked even more horrified than before. At this point, I think I've had enough, with a powerful mental strain, I forced Shadow Link back into his prison and did the same for Luna, although she’ll need to reform her own mental locks.

She stood there in disbelief, not understanding what the heck just happened, she even felt like a piece of her was just taken away from her mind.

“Sorry about that. I honestly thought he was gonna behave considering how he wasn’t going straight at me.” I said.

Luna finally got out of her stupefied state. “Why didn’t you do anything!?” She screamed, suddenly I was slapped, or bucked across the face by her front hooves, she curls up into a ball as she was feeling very violated at now.

I left her alone in my mindscape for the time being as I original to the living, I soon found myself being stared at by Celestia and Chara. I quickly reached up and pulled the mask off.

“So you actually got her off, huh? Damn, didn’t even bring out the good stuff.” Chara said with her cheeks puffed out. She puts away her phone and headphones before turning her attention toward the royal white pony. “Celestia, what actually happened after you activated those runes?” Chara asked with curiosity in her voice.

“Well, I sent you to school, you had a mental breakdown, I had to come and comfort you. Afterwards you made a pinkie promise, then according to my little friend, you broke it, taught many kids a few words I will not speak of.” Celestia explained.

“Y-Yeah there are several things there that I wouldn't normally do one of them is make a pinky promise” Chara said with an exasperated sigh

Celestia giggled at that. “Plus you wouldn’t be able to handle Pinkie’s Punishment.”

“No it's not that I wouldn't be able to handle her punishment it's I don't like her she just rubs me the wrong way.” Chara said not wanting to look Celestia in the eyes.

I was struggling to contain my laughter. The mighty Chara can’t handle a pink pony, speaking of the little filly, she’s struggling to contain her laugh as well, she was still on my shoulder, or would that count as my back?

“Don't you to laugh she actually killed me more times than any other Pony even Celestia didn't kill me as much” Chara said her cheeks puffed up.

“Let’s not discuss that topic, please?” Celestia said with a raised hoof.

“Anyways, back on track of what we were discussing before, what other options do we have? Besides destruction..” I said with a sideways stare at Chara.
“I honestly don't care if you give them bodies but if they attack me I'm going to kill them” Chara said with a serious expression.

“It’ll take some time alone with them” Celestia said as she hovered the masks around her horn.

“Chara? I hope this didn’t weaken your powers..” I said, I honestly didn’t want to heal her, but it was either that, or let her fall to Nightmare’s corruption.

"I think if feel stronger than before and I have better control.” She said, demonstrating by making a soul string come out of each finger.

“...Does this mean that since you’re feeling better, you’re be less troublesome?” I asked, hey maybe I can have a peaceful day without somepony complaining.

“now what kind of troll would I be if I didn't cause Mayhem and mischief”

“...Chara, A troll is harmless, what you’re doing is NOT trolling.” I said with a frown and a sigh.

“Trolling?” Celestia asked in confusion. “But.. Chara isn’t a troll. Trolls are more ugly and tend to have an obsession with guarding bridges or asking for a toll.”

“Well then I'm a griefer” Chara said with a smile.

“But we are serious about us wanting you to behave, Chara. I’m still keeping my promise in delivering chocolate if you do behave, and I don’t mean you ‘trying’ for a limited time.” Celestia said with a serious motherly face.

Chara raised her hands up if she was weighing something “chocolate or grieving” she said a thoughtful expression on her face as she alternated between hands.

“What else do you like besides Chocolate?” I asked, maybe Celestia could further sweeten the deal. Speaking of which, I outta visit Mr. Cakes tomorrow and discuss something to add to their menu.

“How about sunburn over there shows me her secret cake stash” she said startling Celestia

“...My secret stash?” Celestia asked in confusion.

“Oh I know you have a secret cake stash it's a thing with you in almost every universe that and bananas” Chara said looking expectantly at Celestia,

“I have access to cake, but why would I stash it when I can order it anytime?” She quickly raises a hoof. “Don’t be stereotypical.” She said.

“Bu-but your cake addiction it's a thing in almost every universe” Chara responded in absolute disbelief that she's wrong.

“Exactly. ‘Almost’ any universe, but I'm sorry to tell you that it isn’t the case with me.” Celestia asked, she looks toward the window and realizes the time. “I’m sorry to cut this short, but I need to get back to Canterlot and perform my duties of lower the moon, tomorrow I will tell ponyville that you were under a dark spell. Afterwards I expect you to be more normal, I’d rather not be called a liar by my little ponies.” Celestia said.

“I got it you let me spend the week in Your Castle!” Chara said excitedly.

She stumbles over her words. “W-what b-but I.. um.. But the guards, and Silver Bullet.” She said.

“Oh I don't have anything against your eye candy.” Chara said with a smile

“...Chara, they wear perfect reasonable armor, What kind of Mare do you take me for?” Celestia asked with a sigh. “What I’m talking about, is how you behave at Canterlot, or my castle."

“You call that medieval useless s*** armor?” Chara asked with a voice full of disbelief.” You wouldn't last a day against the human race with that pile of scrap.” Chara said shaking her head

Triggered.

Celestia glared down at Chara. “That armor design and it’s enchantments can hold out against the toughest dragon claw and against most lethal spells!”

“Uh.. Chara, you need to stop comparing this world to others..” I said with minor annoyance.

“Alright alright I'll stop comparing but it's hard for me not to especially with what we humans created without magic” Chara said with a pout.

“I am aware.” Celestia said, slowly calming down. “Now.. I will allow you in my castle, but you must behave. The guards are protective of me, while they’re not as annoying as my half-son, Silver Bullet, they will lay down their life for me, must like you with your friend, Link.”

“half Son!?” Chara all but screamed, her eyes wide as saucers and voice full of disbelief.

“..Yes, did you not hear me scream his name across Ponyville?” Celestia asked.

“I thought he was like your grandchild or nephew like blue balls is!”Chara said still having trouble wrapping her head around Celestia actually having a living child.

“You mean Blueblood” Celestia corrected.

“Yes blue balls” Chara said with a straight face
“No, it’s Blue Blood, he’s my grandson. Admittedly, despite being raised by Silver Bullet, he’s a bit more well mannered compared to him, he even stands up for his friends. I just wish Silver Bullet would stop treating him so harshly.” Celestia said with a smile.

“No... You are not telling me that blue balls is actually a good and decent person here!” Chara said looking like she'd just found out everything she had known was a lie.

Celestia frowns at Chara. “I told you, not all of the universes are the same. If they were, then they wouldn't be existing.”

“bu-but that's a goddamn stable of the Multiverse I mean really it's like air it's everywhere!” Chara was near hysterical at this point

“I guess the multiverse decided to be a troll, as you put it.” Celestia with a gentle giggle, trying but failing to make her own troll face.

Charas eye started twitching violently so I decided to intervene before Chara truly lost it. “Multiverse theory and all.” I said with a chuckle, placing my hand on forehead. “Maybe it's time for you to sleep, you’ve been through a lot.”

“but nothing makes sense Celestia's not addicted to cake blue balls isn't the biggest dick in the Multiverse and the Royal Guards are used for more than eye candy and an alarm system” Chara said as strands of her hair started sticking out here and there.

“Yea, you definitely need to sleep, let your mind heal. Maybe you’ll think more clearly?” I said, pulling the covers over Chara. Celestia got ready to leave, leaving me alone to go attend to the fire place for another cold night. Eventually, I got the flames going and was about to go to sleep when suddenly Chara climbed onto my lap, surprising me. I was about to protest, but I stopped myself when I noticed her eyes were still closed, she’s sleep walking?

She got comfortable and snuggled into my cloak, it was odd to see her like this, but I guess due to her being Displaced, she’s been seeking comfort with others. “Heh, I bet she’ll deny this if I pointed it out.” I said mentally to myself. Slowly but surely, I fell asleep.
