Twilight and Sunset wake up from being blinded by the white light, seeing a field of cotton candy and sweets, behind them was a castle made from chocolate and gingerbread. “I’m guessing where inside Pinky's mind?” Twilight asks herself. “Yes, we are.” Sunset said in a quick response.

Both quickly make their way towards the castle gates. Using their magic to open the gate made their way towards the courtyard seeing the place is busy with ponies doing their tasks throughout the courtyard, some of them using some kind of magic to carry different color orbs to platforms onto cargo wagons before being taken away to a lift that sends them to the lower levels of this place.

They see one the wagon finish being loaded and coming past them, they jump in as it rolled by. Sunset gets a closer look at these orbs seeing memories in them of what happened today. Seeing a lot of purple and blues in here but seeing one that is glowing a bright yellow, it too deep to get of hold of now. Twilight holds one of the blue orbs and the memory within it.

Showing her in the middle of the forest calling to a pony with a light brown cloth and dark brown mane and tail. Before putting it back looking at other this time it was purple, showing another memory of seeing her calling out someone's name standing next to the unconscious body of a zebra. She put it back not want to look at it any more right now as they made it to the lift.

The lift was made from wood like the wagons. In a quick jolt, the lift and moves them to the lower levels of this place. Sunset and Twilight look around as when lower and lower seeing that the wall is made from stone with a wooden frame around them, before seeing one of the walls has ended and let, they are still when down.

Curiosity has gotten the best of them; they climb over the cargo to see on behind them. A Hugh room that looks like it goes on for miles field with shelves and tons more of those glowing orbs. The lift starts to slow down, making both get down trying to remain hidden.

Once it stops with a jolt making the orbs around them shake a little. Then the wagon slowly made its way off the lift, before picking up speed into the Hugh room around them. They see the shelves filled with more orbs of different colors looking like a night back home in their world.

After what felt like forever the wagon stops, both get off making sure the pony did not see them. Both quickly made deeper getting lost in the process having no idea where to go. “This place is like a maze.” Sunset said out loud as they when down one of the core doors. Twilight notices the way the memories are organized. “Sunset. The answer is right in front of us.” She tells her friend.

“What do you mean?” Sunset asks her with a confused look from that statement. “Look around the answer is in front of us. Remember who’s mind we are in?” She tells her friend making her get a closer look at one of the memories of the shelve seeing the memory from within the glowing orb in a shade of yellow.

Inside the is showing a memory from her childhood of herself on her family rock farm before seeing a sonic rain boom over the gray ski above her. Making her mane and tail change looking like her sisters to what she has known by today.

Sunset looks at the memory next to it glowing bitter then one it looks has the same color from the other. Getting a closer look into the memory that lay within.

Seeing her getting her cutie mark at a party with her family in the background. With her family so happy partying with her.

Now with the memories leading them showing them the path. They quickly made their way to the other side of the room with a double door leading to other parts of her mind.

Pushing it open seeing a sea of darkness as they enter. Before the doors close letting the darkness come around them. Feeling the something wet underneath them making their hooves damp making their clot on their legs set. Before seeing a series of light coming towards them with a ski blue light. The closer the light gets to them looking more flame the closer it comes making the darkness fade away showing what truly around them.

With darkness faded away with light from torches showing that walls around them are made what looks like coral and sea life. “where are we now?” Twilight asks out loud seeing what’s around them. “I don’t know.” Sunset answers in the response to what she sees in front of her eyes.

They slowly made their way through until they see something in the distance where the torches are leading them. Seeing a statue made from the stone of Pinky with sea life both on and around it.

“HAHAHAHAHA.” The sound of laughter coming from somewhere that they couldn’t see spoke them.

“What was that?” Sunset said out in a quick response from speaking like that. “I think it time for us to go.” Twilight said out loud. “Agreed.” Sunset quickly responds trying to let go in the real world.

“Strange, I can’t let go.” Sunset said out loud. “That isn’t good.” Twilight said in quick response. “No, something must be keeping us here.” Sunset said with a worried look on her face.

Just then ground and water beneath them begin to shake and the torches around them being affected by what might be coming towards them. Then a wall of water came from one of the hallways, heading towards with rapid speed.

The water hit them pulling them into the current, trying to get a hold of themselves trying to reach the surface.

When they reach the surface seeing the room is filled halfway already. “Sunset, we don’t have long until this room is filled.” Twilight said out loud seeing the ceiling getting closer with every passing second.

Both trying to find a way to get out of this situation. “There’s no way out.” Sunset said in a panic seeing their breathable air is running out. Without thinking Sunset and Twilight take in one last breath before going under seeing everything going dark underneath them, thinking that they might not make it out of this.

Before seeing coming towards them fast grabbing hold of them heading somewhere up seeing light and the surface heading towards so fast that they cannot keep their eyes open. Once the object breaches the surface sending water over the side of the object. Both couching trying to catch their breath seeing that the object is a ship, looks more like an ocean liner seeing the sun coming over the event horizon.

“Sunrise.” Twilight said out loud still seeing the remaining water go over the side of the liner seeing that this ship is Hugh from where they are standing.

“HAHAHAHAHA!” The voice laughs again from earlier, this time it is coming from somewhere within the ship.

“I don’t know where this laugh is leading us, but it cannot be good.” Sunset said out loud with scents of doubt in her voice. Beginning to feel the ship starting to move to see the one ship funnels exposing black smoke.

Not knowing what might happen next, they head inside seeing Pinky sitting at a nearby chair reading the paper. “Pinky?” Sunset calls out to her getting her attention putting the paper down, and look at them with a serious look on her face.

“Hello, Sunset.” She said in response to her question getting up from where she is sitting, moving to pass them heading towards the stairway with a glass dome over it letting in sunlight.

“HAHAHAHAHAHA!” The voice of laughter fills the halls around them.

“Ok, where is that coming from.” Twilight asks out loud in frustration getting the attention of their friend leading them. “That is what keeping you here.” Pinky answers her question heading to the lower levels of the ship.

Seeing that things are starting to change around them. The walls start to turn to that rote and dedicated. The white paint begins to pill of the wall while other areas are something black on them like mold.

Sunset takes her hove-to touch what is on the wall, feeling slimy like a bar of soap. Seeing the tail that she just made, seeing a little red on her hove. “What is going on here?” She thought to herself before wiping it on the floor.

They keep going further down the stairway seeing it getting worst the further they when. Until they reach the bottom seeing the mold getting redder, they start to get scared from what they are seeing. The only one that was not scared was Pinky leading down the hallway towards a metal door that looks more rested and covered in no other word from what they are seeing.

“Is that what I think that is?” Twilight asks out loud seeing the door in front of them. “Yelp, it is covered in blood.” Pinky answers her question grabbing the catch door unlocking it and pulling it open, revealing an ocean of darkness hearing something big on the other side.

Seeing a sign above the door cover in rust and blood making difficult to read. Sunset uses her magic to grab a nearby rage to wrap away some of the blood showing what lies beneath.

Engine Room.

Sunset and Twilight when through the other side into the darkness Both turn around seeing their friend not coming with them. “You are coming?” Twilight asks her. “No, this is where I must leave you now and I can’t follow.” Pinky said in response before closing the door, leaving both in the dark.

Sunset uses her magic to give them some light before seeing the light around them starting to come on around, showing what truly around them.

From what they could see was very little trying to cut into the darkness around them before hearing a voice from the darkness.

“Well, I see there are some new ingredients for my latest batch.” The voice said out loud. “Who in Celestia are you?” Sunset asks whoever or whatever is out there. “It is best to show myself.” The voice answers her question before seeing the light coming on taking away the darkness.

Once all the lights came on with some of them flickering before staying on showing what the darkness was hiding. Bodies wrapped in body bags with dried blood on them were hanging from chains coming from the ceiling and catwalks from the sides of the engines.

The floor is nearly covered in dried blood and seeing a nearby table with another wrapped up body. The smell was bad making both sick to their stomachs seeing what in front of their eyes.

The engines made so much noise that they were a little surprised to hear that voice at all. Seeing some of the pipes leading to the two engines having jets of steam escaping from them and they look nearly rusted from the seals.

Then the figure shows itself from the catwalk one the engine on their left side. The figure shocks them the most once it showed itself in the light. It looks like Pinky, but her mane and tail did not look right. It was not the way the other one that leads them down here, it was straight.

“Pinky, what going on?!” Sunset asks her out loud so she could hear her from the sound of the engine next to her.

“There is something I must show you.” She answers her question. “Is that why you are keeping us here?” Twilight asks her to see her jump over landing on her hooves heading to the wrap-up body on the table.

“What are you?” Sunset asks her still seeing this version of the pony that in the waking world. “To put it bluntly Sunset, I’m her Darkside and these bodies are from memories that were too painful for her to handle” She answers her question losing the rope from the body.

“And the blood?” Twilight asks her. “I had some problems with some memories that didn’t want to die.” She did her best to answer her question the best she can removing the wrap from the head of the body showing.

The head looks like a human head clean-shaven with short dark brown hair on its head. The left side of the head had a Hugh hole showing that it been shot from a firearm.

“Who is this?” Twilight asks her. “This is her husband's worst enemy that changes her life forever and that date coming very soon.” She answers her question in most vague responses.

“Is that what you wanted to show us?” Sunset asks her. “Mainly yes.” She answers her question, making Sunset and Twilight eyes glow white sending them to the waking world.

She wraps up the head, walking over to the other body that is hanging before thinking out loud. “I wish I could show you the real reason.”

Back in the waking world, both trying to catch their breath from what they just saw. Seeing that they are not alone, seeing two figures standing next to them. At the same time, Pinky just waking up.

“James, Destiny?” Calling out their names seeing them with a worried look on their faces.

Moments earlier

Me, Destiny, and everypony else following close behind heading towards Twilight’s castle. I see the front door standing wide open and heading inside seeing the corridors of the castle before hearing voices that sound familiar.

“I don’t know what going to happen next?” A voice called from around the corner with a fate volume. “Rainbow?” I ask myself to head towards the voice before the voice of Applejack.

“I know what you mean, with everything going on here. There’s no telling what might happen next.” The voice of AJ said in response the closer I got.

“Rainbow I wouldn’t turn around?” The voice of AJ tells her friend making to look to my side seeing my shadow on the floor and the wall on the other side of the corridor. “We can see you standing around the corner there.” AJ calls out to me making me take a deep breath to show myself to them, which Rainbow finally turns around seeing me.

“OHHHH MYY GODDD!” Rainbow gaps out what going through her mind seeing me.

Everypony else comes running towards were are seeing me nearly sent me into a state of shock catching myself on the wall. Destiny comes running in hearing like someone having a panic attack, before seeing double.

Getting back into focus seeing her dad going through the same thing. Seeing a younger version of her mom full of energy, hardly ever seen her like this.

Starlight sees the former Queen of the Changelings, feeling something is not right about her. Chrysalis seeing the pony that has done everything to her but remembering everything that has happened in the past few days feeling something that does not want to take revenge right there and then feeling more regret of nearly on death doorstep.

I get a hold of myself before asking. “Where is she?” I ask out loud getting off the wall before hearing a response. “I know.” Starlight response to my question before leading me and Destiny to her.

Opening the door with her magic seeing Sunset and Twilight standing next to her. Making her get a closer look seeing that both of their eyes are glowing white while touching their friend.

Both me and Destiny sees this too making to get near my love trying to wake her wake, but nothing is working. Destiny tries to use her power to touch Sunset to find out what is going on, that also failed.

With nothing else to do, both of us have no choice is to wait until it is over. I remove the gun I still carried on my back, before taking a sit on the couch across from Pinky, while stood next to the fireplace before using her powers to get a fire going, filling the heat coming from it filling the room.

Starlight stayed close seeing me and Destiny waiting in a nearby chair with something on her mind that does not make scent getting the attention of the man sitting next to her.

“Excuse me.” Getting my attention trying to get my attention on something else. “Yes, Starlight?” I quickly responded nearly scaring her to nearly make her jump out the couch.

“What how, I mean. How do you know my name?” Starlight asks in a studdard trying to get it straight in her head from that response. “We know each other in my timeline. But for the sake of the timeline, I stop you right there before knowing too much about your own timeline.” I did my best to answer her question the best I can without telling her too much about what might let to happen.

“There is something on your mind and I think, I know what it is?” I ask her. “Yes, it about Chrysalis; the last time I saw her was after me and few others that show the changelings hive a different way to live and valve revenge on me before taking off into the forest around her former home.” She tells me making me take a breath before giving my side of the story.

“You see Starlight, Destiny found her crashing in the forest near where I live at. From where she crashed, and she was nearly on death's doorstep. We made camp around her crash site and bring her back to life. I also change her DNA that doesn’t have to feed on love alone.” I tell them what happened to her.

“Well, that answers some of it, but not the whole thing.” Starlight response from my answer. “What do you mean?” I ask her to wonder myself. “I mean; why didn’t she attack me after laying eyes on me after what I did to her.” She tells me to answer my question. “Well, Starlight; all that says is, maybe going through her own redemption, or a life delt.” I try my best to answer her question.

“I’m guessing I have to find out for myself?” She said thinking out loud.

I see Rainbow standing outside the doorway talking to Applejack. Before coming in coming towards me.

“Excuse me, Mr. Cribb.” She said getting my attention-holding something that looks more like an autograph book under her wing, before remembering that Rainbow has well the others that with my younger self trying to get back to this world.

“Yes, Rainbow.” I said out loud nearly shocking her, knowing her name before telling me. Getting a hold of herself before saying what is on her mind. “I like to have your autograph.” Handing me her little black book.

I open it seeing other names in here as well, including A.K. Yearling. I found a blank page and wrote my name with the pen that was in my clot pocket.

After handing it back to her she when a little crazy taking off into the air before saying. “I have it! I have it! I have James Cribb autograph!” She shouted in glee doing loops around the room.

Not knowing what I just done, I just gave way that I am still alive from a world that I lift behind long ago. I quickly get up and shout her name. “Rainbow!” I call her name getting her attention, making her land near me. I took a deep breath before continuing with my train of thought. “Rainbow don’t let that book fall into the wrong hands. Because I’m sub-post to be died.” I told her making her question what I just told her.

“Why is that?” She asks me. “Well, after the crash that made my radio and camera go out. Not even that I was almost near died from it. Those on the outside thought that E.J.S. did not work sending me back fear the worst. After I was declared dead, everything on that side was shut down and forgotten about only a few people know of it’s existed.” I told her.

“I was only a baby when that happen and my dad's old recording of those races and posters, he kelp over the years. I did not see those of the last days of the series. Now I know why.” She tells me.

“Where are those recordings and posters?” I ask her. “Right now, they are on my laptop.” She tells me. “Bring it to me.” I tell her making her leave the room to get it.

Outside in the hallway Applejack and Rarity saw what happen and feel sorry for their friend. Applejack came busting in after that, feeling a little piss from what just happen. “Excuse me Mr. Cribb; We don’t know what happens in your past and why you people back home think that you’re still died.” She tells me with an angry look on her face.

“Your right there, you don’t know what I’ve been through.” I said in response before turning to attention towards Rainbow.

“Rainbow.” I call her out getting her attention. “Yes.” She response. “You can keep the recordings and posters. Just keep quilt about that I am still alive as for the autograph that I just gave you. Just say it writing down before I’ve become trapped.” I said out loud before noticing that Pinky, Sunset, and Twilight starting to come around.

“James, Destiny.” Pinky calls out making to grab her hove feeling her head as she wakes up to the waking world, seeing that they are in Twilight study seeing Destiny standing next to the fire feeling the comfort of the man she felled in love with all those years ago.

Sunset and Twilight getting a hold of themselves after what they saw inside their friend's head.

Destiny feeling the heat coming off the fire trying to find out what might happen next. Then it hit her making her leave the room heading towards where the others in the chamber were the crystal table showing the map. Starlight and Applejack follow her trying to get going through her head.

A moment or two later.

Trixie waiting in the chamber sitting in one of the chairs before seeing the double doors open seeing a creature that she has never seen before coming in seeing the map of Equestria with the symbols of her father’s old-world on the map where the piece of Omega has been.

She slowly comes towards the table making her right-hand glow before putting it on the table making it glow showing the figure of Twilight shows itself on the table.

Trixie sees what going on in front of her but cannot believe what she is seeing. The spirit looks around to see the person that called her. “Good to finally meet you.” Destiny calls out to her. “Who are you?” The spirit asks her. “Someone that let to meet. I just got the ball rolling.” Destiny answers her question the best she could without giving too much away.

“There someone else that needs to be here.” She calls out before calling out one name out to the world. “DISCORD!!” She shouted before continuing. “I KNOW YOUR OUT THERE!”

Then a flash seeing a creature made up of different parts from different animals. Looking around seeing who called out to him. Before seeing the creature in front of her standing next to the table. “What are you?” He asks her before seeing the spirit standing on the table. “That will come later now there is someone I like for you to meet.” She tells them to take her hand off the table making the spirit free to walk around, leading them to where her parents are.

Once they get to the door where they are. “Wait here.” She tells them before heading inside. Pinky just getting herself on her hooves seeing her daughter coming back, before telling her husband what going through her mind.

“James, I do love you. But everything that has happened so far has been tuff on me and taking its toll on me. I remember the times that the sins of your past are coming back as well. But every time you became stronger from it no matter what, I like to see the same thing in myself after all this time.” She tells me pulling her hove on my shoulder making me want to shed a tear.

“Dad.” Destiny calls to me. “Yes, Destiny.” I response trying my best to get a hold of myself feeling Pinky's pain going through me. “I have someone to see you.” She tells me. “Just give me a minute.” I tell her getting myself together while she heads to the door.

Once I’m ready, I gave her the single letting her know I’m ready.

She opens the door. “He’s ready to see you.” She tells them, fully opening the door to let them in. Discord was the first to come to see me and said something that will shock me. “James Cribb, long time no see.”

Something going through my mind was one thing. “My journey is far from over.”

After he came in a shocked me with what he just told me. A spirit taking the form of Twilight in her pony form when we first met and there only one thing that came to my mind. “This isn’t good.”

She came closer to me to get a closer look at me before taking my hand feeling the energy coming from her. “Do you know who I am?” She asks me. “I know that you’re the spirit of the tree of harmony.” I quickly responded to her question making her feel the energy coming from me. “I felt you process every scent you three came here.” She tells me.

“What do you mean?” Pinks asks her. “I mean when you mean to come here and made this mess with the timestream and I know you're trying to fix it from what has happened.” She tells us to answer her question the best she could before letting go.

“There’s one thing going through my mind right now is to Discord.” I said out loud turning my attention towards him. “What would that be?” He asks me with a smirk on his face. “Where and when in my timeline did, we meet?” I ask him. “I can’t say much on one’s destiny, but they're one thing I can say is that it will be interesting.” He answers my question more like a riddle. “I’m guest I told you that?” I ask him again. “Your timeline is a mess from where I’m standing.” He answers me pulling a strange-looking ruler pointing in different directions.

“Dad, it best to focus on the here and now.” Destiny tells me seeing the ruler that Discord holding disappeared in a flash. “Your right.” I said out loud fearing the journey that lays ahead.

Sunset still in the room seeing the whole thing in front of her feeling the same thing that I am through my head, come to me put her hove on my shoulder. Before the spirit of the tree gets my attention.

“I must go now.” She said out loud before disappearing in a flash of light.

Celestia and Luna came into the room after she disappeared before seeing Discord hovering a few feet in the air before seeing Sunset close to me. “Sunset?” Celestia asks her nearly shocking her letting go of me. “Princess Celestia, Princess Luna.” Sunset said out in shock seeing her old teacher.

Celestia walks closer to her former student making Sunset walk backward until she hit the wall. “Sunset.” She calls out her name seeing her scared out of her mind. “Yes, Princess.” She quickly responded fearing the worst.

But that wasn’t like that at all. Celestia gives her a warm hug seeing the tears in her eyes knowing everything that has happened in their past. “Sunset, I know after all this time that you still think that I have abandoned you and let your heart be filled with hatred and resentment against me, but after what has happened to you and the friends you made in the other world, I forgive you.” She tells her to make Sunset do the same to forgive herself and her former teacher.

Meanwhile, Queen Chrysalis standing outside the still open door seeing everything that going on in that room. Remembering the sins of her past that nearly cost her own life, her own pride getting the best of her feeling that she would never forgive herself because of it.

Has for Discord still hovering messing around the room until he sees Fluttershy comes in and flies over to her shocking her. I see him fixing to do something that would make problems later for this version of her. “Discord.” I call out to him getting his attention. “Yes.” He replies. “There is something you must know, about this version of her.” I tell making him remarkably interesting in the topic. “You see she isn’t the one you know; she is the one where Sunset stays and the one you know is with my younger self in a world where I’m at or more boldly him.” I did my best to explain to him without having to go to a piece of paper and pen to explain it.

Knowing Discord from my timeline knows what going on and very unpredictable. But unknow about this one from this timeline.

“I know that isn’t the one I know I just caught in the moment, faring the worst trying to find her seeing that she is missing in the newspaper.” He tells me making me wonder if he knows more than he leads to believe. “I know you James from the last time we meet. You do not like to be tested and push too hard. Making me remember the time I got a push from someone I don’t want to talk about it right now.” He tells me to make wounder who pushes him.

“James.” Luna calls out to me getting my attention. “There’s something that has always been bugging me, is that why did you give me this map?” She asks me to get them out from where she has been keeping them.

I take the map from her showing where the Piece of Omega has been. I see the still wrap up crystal ball next to me. “Destiny there is something we must do.” I tell her getting them heading out the door. Making even Discord wonder going through my mind.

Those that were in there begin to follow me where the table is located. Trixie still recovering from the shocking seeing Destiny for the first time. Seeing the double doors open seeing both her and me coming in with nearly everypony following close behind.

“Ok, this is getting far too wired even for me.” She said out loud seeing me putting the map down as well the crystal ball unwraps it and putting it on the table in front of me seeing it starting to glow purple this time.

“To answer your question Luna, it best for me to show what I been showed a long time ago.” I said out loud putting my right hand on the table making the symbol on the side of my neck glow.

Luna puts one hove on the table. “Come on it best for everyone that is here to see this as well.” I tell the others making them do the same leaving only Pinky and Destiny. Before they as well touch the table making their symbols glow as well. “Spirit, if you still there it best for you to see this as well.” I said out loud before seeing a flash of light seeing her on the table.

“Now it's time.” I said out loud making the crystal ball glow in our elemental colors before seeing a flash of light, sending us into something we might or may not want to see.

Here is the 44^th Chapter in the story so far. I don't when the next one is coming out, I have it out as so as I can.

This Is James Cribb.
