"Where is h-" Mars was interrupted by the sight of Marcus being followed by Green. "GREEN GET ME OUT!!"

"Why do you two always get into these things?" Green studied the cage and touched it quickly. "Oohh spicy. Alright lets try something, I'll be right back." Mars sat for a while "Im back." He had a bucket of water. "Green, I know what your thinking buddy dont do it." "WHAT? I CAN'T HEAR YOU!" Green threw the bucket on Mars and the cage. The cage shorted out and Mars got a nasty shock. "Why...would you?" Mars then fell unconscious onto the floor. Marcus saw this and guarded Mars while he was unconscious.

"Just like everypony else, you think you know so much about Trixie, but she's changed!" she shouted back at Lektra. "She came here to show that to Twilight Sparkle... and the whole of Equestria! Which is why Trixie can't lose to you!"

 

In the face of the oncoming lightning bolt, magic surged from her horn. In the air around, multicolored sparks began to materialize and take shape in front of her. It was miniature parade of different figures; little manticores, timberwolves, cockatrices and even something that resembled a tiny Rarity all surrounded her. By the time she was finished, ten different figures surrounded her in a circle, before she detonated them violently.

 

The ensuing blast was magnitudes bigger than the last. A controlled explosion, the radius expanded around Trixie for several feet like a blinding, multi-colored half dome in the center of an electric maelstrom.

 

The dome protected her from the bolt that seared around her, and for a second, it seemed it would hold. But it was quickly overpowered, the blast washing through the shell and slamming into her anyway. Every nerve in her body went off as the blast swept through it, before the force ragdolled her into the front wall of the milkshake shop, leaving behind a large crater on impact. Trixie lay on the ground in front of it attempting to get up, her horn sparking rather than glowing as she attempted unsuccessfully to cast another spell.

 

"I'm not...done..." she said in a breathless tone, glowering angrily up at Lektra Bolt from where she lay.

Records will actually state Sleight Mist hesitated before answering this time, as the idea of losing her mind did not appeal to her for an instant. But she did need to get stronger...

"I'll... do it," she finally said, pushing her fear to the side for a moment.

Tyra was taken by surprise by the sudden milkshake attack, yelping as drops of the cold drink splashed on her face. A few instinctive licks told her the beverage didn't taste so bad. Perhaps she could get one later?

 

She glanced on as the conflict with this 'Trixie' unfolded. The blue unicorn kept yelling and raving, all in the third person for whatever reason.

 

"I wonder why she refers to herself as another?" She muttered to whoever might be listening, "Perhaps she means another Trixie? Or she thinks she is somepony else? Equestrians are certainly...interesting."

[J.R. 3,179]

Blizzard said lowly, "Oh yep she's trying to kill us. " Blizzard backed up some more to keep a safe distance and shouted, "GET MSD!" to anypony that was still close by the crossfire. "Why would Trixie be doing this? This isn't like her, unless she really has gone off the deep end...."

"now, this is basically a mental rodeo. your minds going to be shaken, and it'll try to throw your consciousness out. now, iv found the best way to guard yourself from this is to imagine an object, person, place, anything that holds meaning. imagine it, and hold onto it. this is your 'saddle.' if you let it get taken from you, your one and only defense is taken away, along with your sanity. now, like i said, daria can restore your sanity, but unless you can endure this, you'll be scarred."

 

he smiled. "it took me multiple tries, but i eventually did it. i have faith you can do it on your first try, though." he glanced at daria, who nodded. he looked back at sleight mist. "are you ready?"

Upon seeing the conflict reach it's boiling point, Lorec knew that it was better to defend than to try and interrupt this fight. Lorec quickly positioned himself between the fight and Tyra, with Sifana right next to her. Almost immediately, he stomped his hoof hard into the ground. The brownish-gold aura that was apparent earlier around his arm now engulfed his entire body. His back turned toward Tyra and Sifana, he was concentrated on protecting them. A huge wall of stone erupted from the ground, curving inward toward Lorec and the others, as if it were a crashing wave about to impact upon a shore, just made out of solid rock. Easily twenty feet high and fifteen feet wide, it had caused quite a tremble in the surrounding area. This would shield them from any harm. For one moment, Tyra would have one glance at the massive zweihander on Lorec's back. If she were any kind of spiritually inclined, she would feel the flow of power from the soul in the sword into Lorec. Lorec then turned around, and yelled.

 

" I'm not keeping my daughter here! Tyra, it is probably best that you run with us! Don't try to fly! Too risky!"

 

Lorec started to run, and as he did, he grabbed Sifana, hugging her tight with one arm while she held on to his neck tightly.

 

" We'll discuss that drink while we get to safety!'

[Unicorncob 5,497]

Tyra watched as Lorec leaped into action, creating a humongous wall of earth simply with a single stomp. She marvelled at the sheer size of the creation.

"Sleipnir's mane..." she muttered. This minotaur was indeed powerful. But no creature could harness such power, unless they were the likes of an alicorn or centaur!

 

Unless...that sword on his back.

 

She was not sure, but she was positive she could feel some tremble of energy from it.

 

Lorec scooped up his daughter and suggested to Tyra that she run with them. She was not one to run from a fight, but considering this clash was a magical battle, perhaps it would be best for her to flee.

"Aye!" She agreed, turning to dash after him.

[J.R. 3,179]

Blizzard kept on watching until the situation had cooled off, "Well...that escalated quickly. Looks like Trixie still hasn't learned how to be humble. What a shame. It's a shame for it to have to come to something like THIS just to teach somepony about themselves. Hmph. Guess I better get outta here before it gets worse." Blizzard then begins to walk away from the area.

Wilhelm would have absolutely no truck with the battle. Once Trixie was thrown into a wall, he spread his wings and took off, flying to a point where he could still offer assistance, but would be far too hard to reach for any collateral damage from the magic fight. He dug out a bag of popcorn, put it away again lest he summon Discord, and settled for a pair of opera glasses from the performance of Shakescolt's Twelfth Night he had gone to last week. After a few moments, he remembered to call for help, and then remembered that these were two extremely powerful unicorns fighting here and that an alicorn was just summoned to deal with them.

[Mars Orbit 729]

Green saw what had happened. Quickly he picked up Mars with Marcus latching on to his back. "Dammit Mars, Where is your brother when I need him?" Green got to a safe distance in a shorter amount of time than he thought it would take hauling Mars. "How can somepony so thin weigh so much?" Green said to himself when they were at a good spot to watch. "Mars. Hey. MARS WAKE UP!!!!" Mars snapped awake "what happened?" "A bunch of things. Just watch the magic battle."

[J.R. 3,179]

Blizzard was walking and he came across Rarity and began walking alongside her, "Hey Rarity, what's up?"

 

Rarity was levitating some bags of clothing material and noticed Blizzard walking beside her and replied, "Hello Blizzard. How have you been doing with your fighting?"

 

"It's been going good. Made some new friends and I'm fighting Lektra next. You want some help with those bags?"

 

"Oh yes, Thank you Blizzard, I appreciate your help."

 

Blizzard blushed a little as he took a bag with his mouth, "Where are you off to?"

 

"Just heading back to my workshop to design more clothes for the fighters. Would you like to come take a look?"

 

Blizzard was trying to get a bit more interested in fashion like Will said. "Sure! I'd love to! I've always had an interest in art, so it'd be cool to see clothing art you've made."

 

"Great! Come along Blizzard, my workshop is this way." She said as they walked together to her workshop.

[Lektra Bolt 2,323]

A good performance. I was actually impressed. I had thought this would be absolutely nothing based on what I'd been reading about Trixie after she was no longer wore the Alicorn Amulet and went back to her state before that. I was breathing heavily. I had maybe another one and a half of these big attacks in me, if that. It was no effort to recall the four razor blades which had been knocked away though, making them float in the air above us. They whirred and spun in anticipation, as if having a mind of their own as I walked closer to her. "Oh, I believe you are." I explained calmly, for real this time. My anger had all but vanished. "I offer you two choices: If you have truly changed as you claim and are the refined pony you believe yourself to be, prove it right here and now. Let's have milkshakes together as friends who respect each other, and talk about your training as well as your recent actions." I gave her a moment to contemplate the possibility of a good resolution, then narrowed my eyes and furrowed my bow in a more serious expression. "Or you can get sliced to pieces by my blades. If you don't accept, it will prove your claims a logical fallacy and as word spreads you'll quickly lose the respect of anypony in the world who still has even a shred of it toward you." I sighed at the possibility of her being that foolish. "My blades won't easily miss, and as you saw previously, you can't affect them or destroy them." The four serrated blades whirred and crackled with electricity as they floated in the air, primed and ready to slice into flesh. "The choice is entirely up to you, and I hope for your sake you make the right one." I said cheerfully again as extended my right forehoof in friendship, and to help her get up if she made the right choice. "So, what'll it be?"

"Quit asking me that, or you might actually make me nervous," she said with a small smile. In truth she was more than nervous enough already. She turned to Daria.

 

"So all I need is a good motivation, right?" she said, turning to Daria. She closed her eyes and ran through her thoughts, settling her thoughts rather easily on one thought in particular. A blue mare with a weird speech pattern an odd fashion design, and enormous power. The mare that had started her on this journey, and the mare she would hopefully one day meet and fight. The image and the will to win seared itself into her mind like a small star. She opened her eyes, much calmer now, and stood her ground.

 

"I'm ready."

, @bronislav84, @Unicorncob,

 

Despite all her bravado, deep down inside, Trixie was not a very brave pony, and the thought of being sliced into pieces by the spinning blades in front of her was enough to send pulses of real fear tingling down her spine, overpowering any anger she may have felt. She gave up trying to cast magic, her horn sparking fitfully one last time before it stopped glowing altogether.

 

"I... give up," she said, just barely holding in tears as she lay on the sidewalk. She had somehow managed not to break anything, but there wasn't an inch of her body that wasn't currently in pain, and she had never been all that tolerant to begin with. Still, she looked at Lektra Bolt's outstretched hoof for what seemed like an eternity, the hesitation at rolling over to this mare and becoming friends being so powerful that it was like there was a wall between them. But she fought it, hoof extending inch by agonizing inch in order to grasp Lektra's.

 

She never got the chance to. Halfway there, an enormous pressure began to descend on the surrounding area, like somepony had somehow dropped a weight on the entire area. Trixie stopped extending her hoof, first out of raw puzzlement, then out of outright shock as a solid violet barrier burst into the air in front of her, splitting the gap between her and Lektra Bolt. On Lektra Bolt's side, the metal disks turned into simple yarn rope, which frayed and burned under the electric current. On her side, gravity began to decrease, shooting her a short distance into open air. She never got the chance to land, however, as a bubble of raw energy encased itself around her, holding her in place three feet above the street. It was over in seconds.

 

"It's tuned to your magical polarity, Trixie, which means there's no breaking out of it." said Twilight Sparkle informatively, the purple alicorn slowly descending down from the sky with small flaps to land on the ruined sidewalk below. As she dropped, she stopped for a second and closed her eyes, taking deep, slow breaths, just like Cadence had told her. The pressure that had been in the air seconds before disappeared, like it had never even been there in the first place.

 

She opened her eyes again and took everything in, looking first at the destruction, then at Lektra Bolt, then finally back to Trixie, who stared at Twilight for a second as if she were a mirage. Then she began to speak, talking in dangerously low tones.

 

"I'm having a talk with Princess Celestia about the upcoming games, when Pinkie Pie comes running up to me, yelling about milkshakes and fights. At the same time, I start to feel an enormous magical surge, and when I trace the source, I see all of this," she said, pointing at the destruction around her, "and you guys are the only two unicorns around here. Which means," she said, taking all of her anger and depositing it on the tip of her tongue.

 

"Somepony here had better start explaining, Now."

@, 

 

caliber backed off a little, and let daria come closer. "you may feel a burning sensation. dont worry, thats the insanity," daria said, as she cast her spell. sleight mist seemed to lock up, and stiffen. she didnt even move a muscle. 

 

"is...is that what i looked like?" caliber asked. "when i was doing the training?"

 

"yes." daria said, "except you were shaking a bit more."

 

caliber bit his hoof. "are you sure she can do it?"

 

"positive."

 

there was nothing caliber could do now, so he waited.

[Lektra Bolt 2,323]

That.....didn't go as planned. Not at all. I had the distinct urge to squee like Pinkie and hug Twilight, but she didn't know me (yet) and I only knew of her and looked up to her. So I did as she asked.

 

I bowed my head. "I wish we had met under more friendly circumstances, Twilight. My name is Lektra Bolt, and I run the Ponyville branch of Bolt Solutions. I'm an inventor of enchanted metallic objects." Sparky wheeled over from where he was hiding behind me. "And this is my companion Sparky. It's nice to meet you."

 

But better to answer what she was asking as I changed gears and walked closer to her. "We had this handled. Really we did." I stated plainly to start. "I was a bit rude to Trixie going off of what she'd done to you and others in the past, and she overreacted. She blew up my milkshake and I may have overreacted a bit too, but it was so she would learn a lesson. She's sorry now I'm sure......." I looked over at Trixie, hoping she could hear me in there. ".....and I'm sorry I assumed you were still as bad as the records claim......" Then I looked back to Twilight. "....but we were about to make up when you showed up. Like I said, we had this handled."

 

I moved as close as I could to Trixie floating in the bubble with the barrier impeding me from going further, and I didn't dare just walk around it. I then motioned for her to be lowered back down. "Please Princess, let my new friend go so we could talk." Despite that we hadn't been able to get to that point, she had wanted to by the looks of it.

 

Oh the irony of this situation. The Princess of Friendship impeding two ponies trying to fully become friends.

As Blizzard was walking with Rarity, he turned around to see Twilight come down and he immediately thought, "Oh shi--! Dear Celestia, somepony's in trouble. But whatever happened, I wasn't there.  I wasn't there. I wasn't there. I wasn't there. Just keep walking."

 

Rarity had taken Blizzard inside her workshop which was on the other side of the infirmary, "Here we are! Take a look Blizzard, these are my latest creations! What do you think darling? " Rarity's workshop was a small version of Carousel Boutique, but still had amazing clothing such as capes, scarves, headbands, and fighter suits.

 

Blizzard was amazed at Rarity's work, "Woooow. That's some awesome stuff you got here Rarity. I love your work! I bet you're raking in the bits."

 

"Oh thank you Blizzard. I have been doing pretty well with this business. But I've been getting tired from working so hard." Rarity said s she sat down tiredly.

 

Blizzard seized the opportunity and asked, "I'm not gonna be fighting so much later on. After my next fight, maybe do you wanna...I don't know...get a milkshake with me? As a way to get yourself a break?"

 

"That's very kind of you to offer. But I'm not sure.."

 

"Oh don't worry. It'll be my treat. Come on you deserve some time off."

 

"If you're sure, then I suppose it's alright Blizzard. Who are you fighting next?"

 

"Lektra. It's gonna be a challenge, but nothing I can't take head on. I gotta go train some more before the fight. I'll see you afterwards ok?"

 

"Alright then, see you later Blizzard!"

 

Blizzard waved bye and stepped outside of Rarity's workshop, and closed the door behind him. Hafway back to the training grounds, he couldn't resist it, "YES! Woohoo! I gotta date with Rarity! Yeeeees! *victory dance*" he said in a low voice so that nopony would hear him and he couldn't stop dancing, he was too happy.

Wilhelm had been watching the fight, making exceptionally careful notes in between milkshake breaks. However, when it ended, Wilhelm was was... annoyed. Normally, there wasn't just a facade- after a while, he began to not show emotion at all. But now, he was truly annoyed. He had been watching the fight for informational purposes, and of course, the newest Princess had to step in and stop the experiment mid-run. Watching Twilight showboat around down there, he couldn't help but have a bad taste in his mouth. Never mind her obvious ignorance of using sufficiently-powerful nonmagical objects to break through a mere polarized frequency barrier- give a mare or a stallion alicornship, and they think they know everything. Wilhelm allowed himself a few moments to breathe, and then a few moments more to comport himself in the appropriate court manner for addressing a superior. No matter the fact that they had done work together a few times in the past, and even once ran into each other on the lecture circuit, there was still the lesson drummed into him from childhood- no matter who you are, alicorns are always superior to you. This was a fact Wilhelm resented, and he had made one or two small advances in using unicorn stem cells to make one an effective alicorn, but otherwise he was unable to do anything about it. Offering a brief prayer to science- the only thing he would ever pray to, and then only rarely- he took off, spreading his wings and lightly coasting to the ground, upon which point he folded his wings and trotted over in front of Twilight, delivering a formal, sweeping bow once he had arrived a reasonable conversational distance away. Raising himself from the bow, he lifted his head slightly to make eye contact with the Princess. "Hello, Twi..." He paused for a moment, considering, and the added "..Your Majesty." His eyes briefly flicked to the side, regarding Lektra with a look of faint distaste, as one might look at a unfortunate smear of mud on their boot. Edited May 21, 2015 by Orion Caelum

At this point, Lorec had kept running for about five minutes, until the fighting had died down. He slowed down, eventually coming to a walk, and then stopping completely. He looked back, and when he was sure that the conflict may have died down, or they were at least a safe distance from the onslaught, he let his daughter down gently. He spoke in an irritated voice, though his anger was not projected at anyone in particular.

 

" Those fools would dare have at it where civillians could get injured? Schiße! That is irresponsible and a gross misuse of power! It's like handing a sword to a toddler and saying ' go out and play! '"

 

Sifana took her father's hand again, giggled slightly, and spoke up.

 

" Papa, isn't that what you basically do with me?"

 

Lorec looked at her, then at Tyra, and then back at Sifana. He was somewhat embarrassed by what daughter had just said.

 

" No, it's not. Heh. One, I give you a boar tusk dagger. Two, I always tell you that it's for protection when you are going home. Three, you're not a toddler now, are you Sifana? Speaking of which...."

 

 

Lorec reached into a pouch that he kept tied on a string, same as his scent-block. He pulled out a small, white object. The end had looked sharpened. He knelt down, and offered the dagger to Sifana.

 

" It's about time for you to head home to Syuren and Orik. I'll be there soon. Papa's going to go for a drink. Remember the rules, Sifana?"

 

Sifana sighed, and then started reciting in a bored voice, rolling her eyes as she did so

 

" Always have it pointed downward when tied in the tunic string, it's not a toy, and only draw it in self-defense. I know papa!"

 

Lorec patted her head, and then kissed her on the forehead and smiled lightly

 

" good girl. Run along now child. It might not be dangerous after dark like Sadauris, but I still don't want you out late."

 

She nodded, and then turned to Tyra and spoke. " See you later, Tyra! I'm glad that you're my friend!" She said with a cheery grin on her face. Sifana then started walking down an alleyway to their left, making her way back home. When she was out of earshot, Lorec spoke to Tyra.

 

" Don't worry. She knows this place like the back of her hand. That, and she knows how to defend herself, I can assure you. Now... Old habits die hard, and I haven't had a drink in Dwrevam knows how long... Want to go destroy your liver with me?"

[Unicorncob 5,497]

Tyra slowed down to a walk, then stopped as Lorec did.

"Aye," she agreed, glancing back the way they came, "City ponies seem to possess no self-control."

 

Upon hearing Sifana's comment, she couldn't help but snicker into her hoof. It reminded her of when her father would scold her as a filly for accidentally hitting one of the colts too hard with her wooden sword and have him a concussion.

Good times.

 

She watched with a smile as Lorec and his daughter exchanged words, and grinned at Sifana's farewell.

"And I you, safe travels!" She called back.

 

She nodded at Lorec, believing him that she could defend herself. Especially after seeing what her father could do.

At his invitation to drink, she nodded with a wide grin. "Aye, I would love to!"

Blizzard was still enjoying his self-satisfaction with earning his first date, "Yeah! I'm the awesome ice pone! I gotta tell somepony about my success! But who? Hm. Will is back in the danger zone with Twilight and Trixie still so I'm avoidng that. Where in the buck is Caliber and Tyra? And the big guy..Lorec. Oh well. I might as well sit here for a bit and read." Blizzard began to read his grandfather's book on a bench not far from the training grounds since he couldn't find anypony to talk to.

[Chivalry Knight 161]

A cloaked pony had arrived at the stadium. An extremely long sheath strapped around his body looked as if were holding an equally long blade. He also had a necklace with a silver insignia (a circle with two blades crossing each other in the middle, and four points heading north, south, east, and west in small arrows outside of the circle.) The cloaked ponies muzzle was a visible crimson red hue, his tail could also be shown to be a long and straight silver color; the cloak was brown and rather ragged as well. He had another cloaked pony following him as he entered the stadium gates. The pony following him had a pack of tarot cards strapped to her side and a large crystal ball hanging from a thin gold chain around her neck.

"Alright, we are here just like you requested. This seems to be a fine place for you to hone your skills, then you will be ready to go back to Killik." The cloaked pony wearing the crystal ball said. She had a mares voice, and she spoke quietly. "I will take my leave, then I shall come get you when you are ready." With that, the mare left the stadium and left the crimson red pony alone.

The crimson pony grunted and walked around the stadium hallways. His blade almost touching the floor, just barely off the ground with every step he took.

Chivalry was also walking through the hallways, "Man what a battle, that was really intense. He's a good fighter but I bet I could've beat him if he hadn't stopped the fight like that, hmph..." He said to himself. He saw the cloaked stallion walking towards him, and for some reason, Chivalry suddenly felt a chill through his entire body. As the stallion walked closer, and as Chivalry walked closer to each other, the chill became more and more intense. He had stopped talking, and swallowed a bit of saliva down his throat.

They both walk past each other, neither of them batting an eye. The chill was most intense when they were both side by side, as if time itself stopped for 5 whole seconds. Then time continued as if nothing had ever happened. Chivalry keeps walking forward, not daring to look back at all. Then, suddenly the sounds of footsteps from the cloaked stallion stopped.

"At ease Killikian Guard." He said.

Chivalry quickly glanced back, but to his surprise, the cloaked stallion disappeared. 'Who... was that?!' he thought to himself. Chivalry turned his head back to where he was walking 'I-I'm probably just seeing things. I really need to get some sleep.' He though to himself before finding a place to rest.

It was a strange feeling, having your mind being torn from your body. Sleight Mist floated in... wherever, as her now multi-colored body started to drift away from itself, pieces at a time. The parts that were still attached began to spontaneously shorten, widen, elongate, and stretch in impossible shapes and angles, while space continually fluxed between too much and not enough, sometimes crushing her, sometimes pulling her apart. Insanity began to wash over her like a flash flood.

 

Perhaps this had been a bad idea.

Twilight nodded upon hearing Lektra Bolt's name, taking mental note to remember the mare the next time they met. She also nodded at Sparky, though she put quickly put aside her curiosity at the machine so she wouldn't become distracted. She listened to Lektra Bolt's every word. 

 

"Friends." she said in a slight deadpan once the mare had finished. She didn't comment further on that note, just turned to Trixie, who was still wrapped in the barrier. In a somewhat less angry tone, she talked plainly to her. "Trixie, your turn. Is what Lektra Bolt is saying true?

 

Just like before, it took tremendous effort on Trixie's part, but she nodded her head yes.

 

"Yes, we are," she acknowledged, "and i'm... sorry. For any damages I may have caused," she was quick to add, hoping to save at least the tiniest bit of face in all of this.

 

Twilight once again stopped and stared at the two for a second. She wanted to run her hoof through her mane in exasperation at this entire scene, but several months of etiquette training as a princess had informed her that that would be a bad move. Instead, she gently moved Trixie down to ground level before she released the spell with a pop, leaving her standing on on solid ground.

 

"You're... letting me go?" Trixie said in slight confusion. The uni...alicorn never ceased to surprise her.

 

"I'm letting you both go," Twilight replied back. "Normally, a fight on this level would be grounds for immediate dismissal from the arena, for the both of you. But, it doesn't look like anypony was hurt, and I think i'd be interrupting something important right now if I took you two in. So, you're both off the hook, provided this doesn't happen again. Got it?"

 

Trixie nodded her head rapidly, wincing slightly as she did so. At the same time, Wilhelm landed, walking over to Twilight and bowing deeply, to her embarrassment. She still wasn't comfortable with that.

 

"Wilhelm, you don't have to bow to me, we're friends. And, if you could call me Twilight..." she said, rather awkwardly. She remembered the pegasi fondly, even though when working with him, she had often found herself buried in extra work trying to correct his more wayward theories. It took her a second to notice his burnt muzzle, and a quick look of concern fell over her face.

 

"Hey, need help with that?" she said. "I'm not the best with healing magic, but I did learn some basic stuff from Celestia."

Electron Wave Storm decided to wreak straight up havoc, "I'll show them, *gathers dark clouds* I will show you all!!!! EEEYYYAAH!" EWS used the clouds along with his light speed flight to send lightning bolts in every random direction at everypony he passed, "HAHAHAHAHAH!"

 

Blizzard noticed him fly past, "That dudes as good as dead this time. But he's not my problem." Blizzard continued to read.

 

"HAHA! All of you have nothing on the air Superior of ELECTRON WAVE STORM! HAHAHAH! *bam!*" EWS wasn't paying attention and had flew into a flagpole and was knocked out cold.

It was a strange feeling, having your mind being torn from your body. Sleight Mist floated in... wherever, as her now multi-colored body started to drift away from itself, pieces at a time. The parts that were still attached began to spontaneously shorten, widen, elongate, and stretch in impossible shapes and angles, while space continually fluxed between too much and not enough, sometimes crushing her, sometimes pulling her apart. Insanity began to wash over her like a flash flood.

 

Perhaps this had been a bad idea.

 

sleight was starting to visibly tremble, and caliber growled. she was losing. he wanted to smack some sense into her, but she wouldn't even feel it, given where she is. 

 

"she's reacting rather badly." daria commented, eating an apple.

 

"but will she make it?"

 

"probably not. iv improved it."

 

"what?"

 

daria chuckled. "iv improved on it. its more effective."

 

now fully concerned with her sanity, caliber looked back at sleight. 'c'mon...your a strong one...you can do this...' he thought.
