ooc: I thought AB was watching the robot first. But since Scoots and she is switching places again it shouldn't be a big deal. "Yep, we totally beat it and it wasn't even that hard." Scootaloo told Sweetie. "And then she turned into a human girl." "So I need you to come help me get the Crystal heart so we can try and help her." Ripple added.

"Um, Alright." Sweetie said, "Fill me in on the plan en route." Sweetie said, stepping toward ripple.

ooc: Okay. Ripple started explaining what happened outside as the two headed towards throne. "I need you to follow me Chrysalis." Scootaloo told the changeling. Chrysalis looked at the egg and then followed after Scootaloo obediently.

Applebloom waited somewhat impatiently, thinking about the mental image of the inside of the egg as she tried to formulate a plan to crack it open.
Sweetie followed and listened.

When the two unicorn arrived in front of the throne Ripple stopped. "How did this work again?" She asked trying to remember.
"Can I ask you something?" Scootaloo asked Chrysalis as they headed down to Apple Bloom. "All your friends have so far, I don't see why not." Chrysalis told her. "I thought you'd be more... rebellious about being captured. Yet you've done everything we ask you to. I never imagined you'd be like that." "Are you disappointed that I'm not living up to your image of me?" "It's not like that. It's just that it, makes it hard to stay mad at you." "If it makes you feel any better I would probably have made it as difficult as I could to be your prisoner back when I tried to take over Equestria." "So why not now? Is it because of your changelings?" "In part yes. I want to see them safe. But also because I'm afraid of you." "Afraid?" "Yes, of all you ponies. Isn't it obvious?"

"Hmm... I think it had to do with Sombra's magic. Magic fueled with hate and anger?" Sweetie said, looking around the throne room, lost in both memory of the old days and thoughts of how to proceed.

"But they chanced it, right?" Ripple said. "To Cadence and Shining's magic. Love and...?" She held her horn to the ground and try to channel magic with love.
"We're here!" Scootaloo called out to Apple Bloom as she and Chrysalis arrived.

"I can do love I guess." Sweetie said, channeling her magic as well, "love and protection maybe? That would make the most sense."
"Alright, think Sweetie and Ripple will be much longer?" Applebloom said, looking back at the robot to make sure it hadn't moved.

"It's worth a try." Ripple said channeling her need to protect her friends into her magic as well.
"Who knows." Scootaloo said. "I've never been in the vault before so I'm not sure."

Sweetie did the same bashed the room in light, that being all she could think to do. It wild have been nice if Twilight or princes Cadence we're still around.
"Well, I'll wait around, in case she needs help putting her asthma back on, our being stopped again.

The secret door in front of the throne opened and a staircase leading down appeared. "We did it!" Ripple said happily.
"I knew you wouldn't want to miss this!" Scootaloo smiled.

"Phew, I was worried we'd be after this for hours." Sweetie said with a satisfied grin.
"Yeah, yeah, let just hope it doesn't take long." Applebloom said, feigning disinterest.

"If I remember it goes down pretty far, but I should be able to teleport us to the bottom." And as soon as she said it the two appeared at the bottom of the stairs where the next barrier was. It worked the same as the one Sombra used to keep ponies trapped in anguish, although this one would keep them trapped in delight.
Scootaloo just smiled knowingly.

"So, what? We keep a level head and not get lost in delight?" Sweetie said, "I don't think that'll be a problem for us." She added plainly.

ooc: Ripple didn't say that. I explained it so Sweetie would know what it is.
"Tempted with our fantasies." Ripple said. "It's probably going to show us together with all our friends, living peacefully in Equestria, you and your sister together again. Don't be overconfident, we can be our own worst enemies sometimes."

OOC: whoops so how we doing this? BIC: "That's true, but I think week be fine." Sweetie said with a decent amount of confidence.

ooc: It's your normal kind of 'know that it's fake' kind of scenario, nothing more than that. Just let Sweetie take it as easy or difficult as you think she would.
"Alright." Ripple said and concentrated a beam of magic on the crystal above the door. Immediately she was in Ponyville with all her friends around her and her parents next to her. Having lived in a nightmare fantasy most of her life however it was easy to push past that and keep her magic concentrated to open the door. More visions came to her. Incognito which she ignored. The only time she paused for a second was when Blank Flank blocked her way but she kept pushing through with her magic to open the door.

Sweetie did the same, and at first things were easy going. She could distance herself easily enough, a little trick she learned from Broly, but then she hit a wall. A unique combination of the blissful feeling and her friends stopping and watching. She was going to continue in ignoring them, but Broly spike from behind her, "All of this is as real as you want it to be. And you can stay in this world you control. This could be your new home away from the pain and suffering and fatigue." He said and sat down beside her. Mentally, Sweetie was always a little tired, and the happy feeling of being relaxed was much enjoyed. That said, she actually considered, for a while, partaking of this feeling, if only a little longer.

Ripple held her magic on the crystal, but she wasn't going to be able to keep it up forever. "Come on Sweetie." She said out loud. "Don't fall for it. We need you here. The real ponies need your help."

Sweetie pushed herself, reluctantly, away from the moment and focused her every thought on that the door needed opening. It was tough, but she made it through in just the knock of time, her real form breathing a sigh of relief at that moment.

The door in front of them opened up and Ripple stopped her magic. "Whew! We did it." She said. "Now for the Heart."

"That's a pain in the but. We only need to do that once, right?" Sweetie said, siding with Ripple to continue.

"This? Yep, only once." Ripple told her. "The Heart has another kind of spell we have to get through." She said walking through the door to the very long staircase leading up. "Only a true Equestrian can get the Heart."

"Of course." Sweetie said, "I wished I'd paid more attention when they went over all these changes." Sweetie said looking at the stairs. She didn't want to have to walk all the stairs.

"Well, it's not like we had time for a tour." Ripple said. "With everything that was happening and Equestria ending, you know." She said, her ears sagging a bit. "And you still had Rarity to worry about." She looked up the staircase. "The barrier protecting this place is very strong, so just give me a minute to concentrate." Ripple sat down and closed her eyes as her horn started to glow.

Sweetie nodded and sat quietly, taking the moment to thing back on the rest she'd experienced while trapped by the door.

There was a flash and the two appeared at the top of the tower. Ripple gasped, obviously tired out. "Difficult, but nothing I can't handle." She said with a grin. Unlike before there were magically protected crystal windows around them. In the center of the room the Crystal Heart sat dormant under crystal glass inside a gazebo. The gazebo was surrounded by a pink barrier.

"Sweetie took out a dagger, "What do you think is the nature of the shield?" She asked, tapping the field with the tip of her blade.

"Uh, I think you just walk through it." Ripple said. "The magic should recognize you, I think."

Post by Broly Ultimatrix on Dec 26, 2015 21:43:15 GMT -5
"Alright." Sweetie said, putting the dagger away and dropping her bag to the side. She walked up tot he barrier and started by pressing her hoof against and through the barrier.
