And maybe by guiding and changing those emotions, channeling them in another way or as you would say "CONTROLLING" them, you might even achieve even greater power." She theorized.

Fuoco didn't look too sure, shaking her head. "It's not so much that my using emotions would overwhelm me, but rather whatever emotions I put in are pushed onto all those who hear it. And that can result in unintended consequences. For instance, if I put anger in my song, it would make everyone who heard it angry, which could cause them to fight each other instead of their enemy. This compounds if you have more than one musician in the group, as your emotions taint their song as well, which sends it back, so I guess it could get out of control. But given I seem to be the only musician of my caliber here, that is less of a concern."

She'd then hug you, giving off a very soft feeling of warmth coming from her body.

She was surprised at suddenly being hugged, given she was in the pool and Misty was not, and that she wasn't very fond of hugs to begin with.

Misty would also feel a warmth from Fuoco, like there was a fire burning inside her. Fuoco would wait for Misty to be done hugging her before asking, "So, when do we start?"

Misty would Giggle and reply enthusiastically, "we already have!"

"Did you feel the warmth of my hug? Thats the warmth of friendship."

Diamond Tiara would interrupt and question one of Fuoco's explanation about her power and emotion.

" Im sorry to butt in but... I couldn't help but wonder on what you just said... So not only can you control fire, but other creatures consciousness as well?"

Misty was also curious about that.

" Then if you added encouragement to your music then wont that help your allies as well in combat? Wouldn't that be helpful?" Misty questioned.

Diamond Tiara had a spark of idea and joyously replied," we can practice that!" 

Her over joyous shout made it awkward in the room. Even the colts were weirded out from her sudden out burst.

" Oops... Im sorry for shouting." She blushingly replied.

She would continue with a much more proper tone and volume.

"Misty Forest. I request your assistance in our expedition to reclaim Equestria once more from the unknown invaders known as ODT. You would be a great help to our country and for the future and safety of our kind. We'll be prioritizing kirin grove if you join us, plus it'll help Our Friend Fuoco to learn more of our magic ways and maybe we too can learn from her. This way even the earth ponies can help even more in protecting our land. Of course you're an exception Fuoco you've proven to every creature your worth."

Misty would think about it for a minute or so and would end up agreeing.

" I couldn't say no to my favorite teacher and new friend, plus i get to see home again... I hope everyone's safe though.

"Yes! I'll Join you!" Misty's final answer.

" Perfect! Fuoco, Misty, i have to leave you for the time being. I have something to discuss with the princess. If you're finished with your baths, the guard outside have been instructed to guide you Fuoco to your quarters, and id also request you Misty to be her guide for me while im gone. Id like to talk to both of you once I've pulled some strings with the princess."

If nothing important would come up Diamond Tiara would start to dry herself up and exit the bath house, giving a wave of goodbye to both of you.

Meanwhile Misty would bring up a problem she noticed.

" Um by the way Fuoco? I've noticed just now when i tried to hug you and use my warmth magic on you, i was having a really hard time using it... When you were warming the pool did you feel anything weird or had a hard time doing magic?"

She curiously questioned.

" I also noticed something heavy in this room while entering..." She added.

She shook her head, "Control would imply I had much say in the matter. And I don't have nearly the training to claim any level of control over those who hear my song. Best I can do is influence, and hope that they respond to their new emotions they way I would want, which they often don't, so best to keep those separated for now."

She looked unsure, "I would have to have that emotion within me first, and if it shifts to dread during the song that would ruin morale. Plus, the enemy could hear the song as well and be emboldened. But... if you're sure... maybe we could test."

She looked concerned, and a bit confused, but shook her head, "No more difficult than usual, which is to say that ever since I came to this place I've found my magic harder than usual, but here was no different than anywhere else since I arrived. Should we be worried?"

" Oh, i see..." She simply smiled and pondered. ( If no further actions would stop her she would continue what she has planned and leave the room.)

" Oh is that so?" Misty would further think of something to help her friend.

"True... True .... But what if you made a song that bolsters your allies moral while demoralizing your foe?" She asked.

" If you make a specific wave length of the song and emotion that resonates with your friends or allies only, wont that work? While the enemy will be confused at what the song or music is? And sometimes if the foe visually sees their opponents grow stronger from the music. That would inturn reflect to them as demoralizing for them right? A battle cry of your allies is encouraging yet an enemy's is intimidating correct?" She ponders with excitement.

" This actually made me excited for you!"

" You know what lets try it out!"

Shed look around and see the foals interested and wanted to volunteer.

" Sorry little ones, its best you look from afar while I'll be the only one playing with Fuoco for now. When she gets better at it, it'll be your turn to play with her okay?"

She asked the little foals.

@Kujamih

Fuoco had a fair amount of trepidation at the lack of concern that Diamond and Misty had towards the potential ramifications of her magic, but she figured they simply didn't understand the potential danger. She wondered how she might convey the risks better without using her 'last resort' song. Maybe she could use her own hesitation to instill that in them? Hmm... But it could just as easily make them hesitant towards her, and not just her music.

She looked unsure at that, "I've never heard of anyone doing that, so I don't know if that's possible. It also sounds very complicated, it may well be beyond my ability to perform, especially by myself."

"... You know what, maybe its just me? I'll try to relax and rest up and see if tomorrow is any better. But for now lets do some magic. I'd love to hear your music!"

She nodded, still hesitant, "Alright, but we should go somewhere private, where no one else will hear, to be safe."

[Evil Pink One 12,944]

@Illiad Easle

" i guess we can go to your room, since thats the only place that's considered a private spot. The gardens and private gyms have been packed up by injured creatures and evacuees." She suggested.

The foals on the other hand were sad to hear the both of you leave.

" Now now. Its time for you foals to leave as well. You dont want to be prunes when you leave the bathing room, right?" She jested at the foals.

As they leave the room and greeted by the guards to escort Fuoco to her room, they would pass by the once beautiful gardens of this castle. Now its full of tents and evacuees. The place doesn't look messy or is in a state of a dump, but just a bit cramped and uncomfortable to be in.

" Hmmm?" misty exhaled involuntarily.

She'd then shake this feeling she had for some odd reason.

Fuoco would be delivered to her room and the guards would station outside her room.

" Ma'am, we will be outside to assist you in anything you'd be needing." One of the guards informed Fuoco.

" Thank you very much." Misty replied to the guard as a sign of courtesy and bowed a bit.

The room that was given to you looks like one of the guestroom for nobles as the decor is quite extravagant and shiny.

The size of the bed can fit 4 full grown yaks, while the comfort of it is the same as sleeping in the clouds.

" Well the room is big enough for outside not to hear much of your song." Misty said while she marvels at the room she is in.

" I never get used to this kinds of room..." She added.

-----a broken peace/piece.-----

*CRACK*

the house hold of Lyra heard something cracking out of thin air, as they eat their breakfast.

Everything became silent that one can easily hear ones breathing. The wind stagnant, and the room became deem.

"..... This doesn't look good..." Shallow mumbled as there is still food on her mouth.

meanwhile Lyra was a bit unhinged and sweating.

" Everyone! Into defensive position!" Lyra said in a commanding voice.

she'd then cover her body with her Shadow as to defend herself, and place some shadow tendrils near every pony.

she suddenly flipped into a serious kind of pony that no one has seen yet, that even Shallow Shade was taken a back at what she seen.

".... Hey Lyra.... I've never seen you this...this serious.... Whats going on?" Shallow worriedly asked.

BUt Lyra would only give Shallow a signal to stay quiet.

Lyra would frantically look above their roofless home in search of something.

but all one can see there is a cloudy sky.

as she remained vigilant she'd press a hidden communicator at the back of her ears and say.... " sweetie.... Theres another breach..."

(I couldn't understand the first paragraph Kujamih.)

——•¤•——

Silver thought they would finally eat breakfast in peace after the discussion. Shallow gone out earlier but returned and joined them at the table shortly after. He was surprised that the silverware they were using were 'scavenged' but he didn't know how to respond to that so he kept silent.

Then something happened to the house. Silver looked around with unease, he finally stood up after Lyra shouted in alarm. He backed into a corner of the room unarmed as he left his sword in the bedroom. He prepared a shield spell “What's going on?” there was a slight panic which he tried to hide behind his calm voice. Following everyone's gaze, he raised his head toward the skies. The sky was covered with a huge cloudcover of what seems to be rain clouds, but Lyra's announcement said otherwise.

[Illiad Easle 2,968]

@Kujamih @Windy Breeze

(Blu)

Blu teleported his weapon to him, along with a small portion of the desk it was resting on, as soon as the first sound was heard. He snorted as the piece of the desk fell to the floor, he'd have to spend more time practicing this aspect of magic, or start keeping his weapon with him at all times, if this were to become a regular occurrence. He scanned the sky as well, his vision enhanced by the Kernel to try and detect anything out of the ordinary, his weapon ready to defend. As Lyra didn't seem to be in a state to share what was going on, he simply waited.

 

(Fuoco)

Fuoco was taken aback at the room she had been shown to (This is clearly a new room since her room wasn't in the castle before,) "This is for me? While so many outside sleep in cramped tents? I've never had a room so opulent in my life." She shook her head, "And I won't start now. We can use this space to practice, but I refuse to take up so much space when so many others could be benefitted by it."

Nonetheless, she would take a seat in the center of the room and prepare to play, glancing towards Misty. "You wouldn't happen to know a soundproofing spell? We wouldn't want to risk any unintended creatures hearing the song."

Regardless, she would prepare to play, simply adjusting the volume, and thus the power, if the walls could not be soundproofed. She played her flute, first without any emotion, forming a ring of fire around herself. Then, against all her training, she allowed some of her emotion to seep through.

The fire shifted, flickering between blue and orange, and Misty was filled with trepidation. There was also a bit of shame. Then the song stopped, the fire went out, but the emotions would linger.

Fuoco was crying, muttering to herself too softly for Misty to hear.

Anyone who could hear the song would feel the same emotions that Misty did, proportional to the volume they heard it at.

start of a new breach ~

[ Lyra, silver, shallow, Blu,???]

As the piece of wood dropped from Blu's clutches, Lyra would remind him to stay quiet.

shed whisper,

" Blu... We need to be extra car-" *SMASH*

tHe wall behind Lyra exploded out of no where, fling multitudes of debris at them.

 Their already crumbling and falling apart house is once again on the brink of calamity, and is covered by a thick layer of dust swirling around the air.

their view is now impaired and kno one knows whats happening now.

~ swirling emotions ~

"Well this IS the only room available, buut you can stay with me of you want? Its just a small room with one bed and a bit noisy as well since its near the guards quarter.... They snore quite a lot there."

 

Fuoco would request to sound proof the room which made Misty thinking.

"Well the place is big enough.... But just to be safe then I'll apply a bit of sound proofing."

The room would get a bit misty and a thick wall of fog would be seen covering the room. Now the place looked a bit eerie.

As she starts to play her flute, at first her notes started perfectly but.

Misty's heart started to pump quite heavily, as the sudden introduction and shift of emotions were introduced to her.

" W-whats going on?" She was started to feel weird and confused of her feelings that she ended up letting go of her spell.

Luckily the music wasn't that loud and the guards from outside could only hear  a mute amount.

Then the disturbing feelings swirling around her vanished. She would just noticed later hand that its because Fuoco stopped Playing and is now crying.

Misty is now filled with regret and sorrow, knowing that she was the cause of her new friends grief.

" Fuoco im so sorry!" She said while runing towards her giving her a hug.

" Please forgive me..." Misty wasn't prepared for this. She wasn't expecting this. She was prepared for the side effects and unknown outcomes to happen to her, not Fuoco.

Misty would do anything and try to calm her down. She'd starts to hum a light and soft tune to calm Fuoco's emotions. It has a unique lullaby tune to it that can put a foal to sleep. A caring, loving mother lulling her new born.

Blu's glasses kept the dust from getting in his eyes, and if the Kernel were up here he'd be able to use it's sensors to see through the dust. Unfortunately it was downstairs, and using the sensors would require opening the case, leaving it vulnerable to whatever was in the area, so it was for the best that it was downstairs.

He remained quiet and still, waiting for an opportunity to strike. He would be cautious, as he didn't want to accidentally hit an ally.

19 hours ago, Kujamih said:

" Fuoco im so sorry!" She said while runing towards her giving her a hug.

Fuoco didn't react as she was hugged, or rather she didn't resist. The warmth within that Misty had felt earlier was stronger now, making Fuoco uncomfortably warm to the touch, almost as though she had a high fever.

"I... I tried to warn you, but you kept pushing."

"I... I wanted you to be scared. To understand why I can't add my emotions."

"I... I..."

She shuddered

"I should have been stronger. I shouldn't have broken my promises for you. My mother would be ashamed of me..."

That statement seemed to redouble the sorrow flowing through her, and the fire within her subsided until she felt cold to the touch, as though she had been out in the cold a bit too long.

[Evil Pink One 12,944]

@Illiad Easle

"... This is my fault..."

Misty mustered her feelings and energy upon herself and casts a warm and loving light towards her. She would then share this magic so it could end up warming her up and hopefully feel the feelings inside of Misty's magic that is now trying to strengthen her. The magic is filled with love, sorrow, regret and kindness.

But the cold body of Fuoco starts to invade Misty's body. She'd end up shivering as well but tries to endure it, because of her guilt.

Misty starts to transform in her nirik form due to her requiring more power and warmth to give to Fuoco.

As she fights off Fuoco's depressive state. Misty can only try and keep on giving her love and warmth of magic to her eventually draining her as well.

" Im sorry... Im here... I'll help...your strong... You are fire... You brought no shame to your mother..."

(Fuoco)

Fuoco seemed to harden under the care, like she was unused to such things, and didn't know how to properly respond.

Eventually she would calm herself enough to continue, carefully putting her flute away. "I'm not doing that again. I can't. I'm not strong enough to control myself. Had the slightest bit of anger slipped through... I wouldn't be able to forgive myself if I had hurt you."

She stood, still cold within, but softening, "Please, if you could convince the Mayor not to push the issue, or to bring this up again, I'd appreciate it."

Inwardly, Fuoco was scared, scared of how easy it was, how powerful she felt to see her own fear reflected in Misty. She feared that of she started again... she might follow the Siren's path, and unleash the forbidden knowledge she held within.

[Evil Pink One 12,944]

@Illiad Easle

Misty, who is now weakened, still tries to comfort Fuoco as much as she can.

Still hugging her, she replied.

"Im sorry, please forgive me. It was selfish of me for not thinking about your feelings and pushed mine.... Hehehe... Well that wasn't fun?" She smiled and gave a bit of giggle, even in her tired state.

Shed then release the fog that blocks the sounds. And it seems that something outside is horribly going wrong.

Screams and crumbles could be heard outside.

" What is going on outside!?"

 

[Illiad Easle 2,968]

@Kujamih

(Fuoco)

Fuoco didn't really react to Misty's continued apologies, still deep in thought, though she was stirred by the commotion outside once the sound was let back in, immediately rushing to the nearest window to see what was happening, and if she could help. "Should we go out there? Or would we just be in the way?"

[Evil Pink One 12,944]

@Illiad Easle

Outside the window can be seen a bombardment of black shards the size of sledge hammers, were on progress. Some would disintegrate in the air, while others would hit the castle and the encampment. Some strong guards are able to block it, but they can only block a few before their bodies start to get battered.

Chaos is in the air with a hint of smoke and ember.

As she ask for Misty's advice, there were no reply, for misty is fast asleep. Knocked out and fatigued, Still mumbling in her dreams.

[Evil Pink One 12,944]

@Illiad Easle @Windy Breeze

As the dust settles silver was at the mercy of a humanoid dragon like creature. It stood twice the size of a pony and is as black as the night sky.

its claws is at Silvers throat slowly choking the stallion, while Lyra is carefully trying to find an opening to rescue him.

she is also holding Shallow back, as she is in great anger and ready to pounce at the creature.

" Behave yourself Shallow... This isnt the time to be careless... The creature has a hostage... And it seems to be intelligent."

Shallow could only growl and show her teeth to threaten the beast infront of them.

[Jesse Terrence 2,963]

[Enter the Freakshow]

With a loud crack, the jaw of a young stallion broke as a clown connected a deadly counter, violently projecting the pony several feet away, making it roll on the floor and lose the grip on its knife.
“That should do it for now, boy. Lucky Strike, was it?” the clown stared at the unconcious stallion. “I guess there’s no point on talking to a sleepy head” the clown remarked as he cracked his sore hoof.

“Bravo! Bravo! Magnificent! Rehearsal!” said a mocking voice behind the clown.
“Hrm? Weird that showed up on the ring this time around” replied the clown as he approached the knife and picked it up.
“My my, don’t be so mean, Petri. You did better than the other times, and I’m here to congratulate you on your new record” replied the voice. It came from a blonde pony with angelical features. A really handsome stallion with azure eyes, staring with a wide smile.
“Cut the bullcrap Ass-rie. What do you want now?” queried the clown, with a glare as he cut his wrist open and let a few blood drips fall to the floor. As soon as the first drop hit the floor, a symbol started to glow.
“A proposal, actually. I really hate your stupid look as of now” replied the stallion, “take that off and I’ll be considerate towards you this time. What do you say?” he added.
“Yeah… there’s a big can of f*ck you over there. Why don’t you take some with a spoon? I have a portal to drop into” replied the clown with a smirk.
“I’ll make sure that smile of yours gets erased from your face. Until then… ta-dah!” finished the blonde stallion as he walked away.

A huge puddle of a carmine liquid quickly gathered in the center, making a perfect circle. Unnerving growls, howls and voices could be heard from within. As creepy as this could seem, Shamrock the clown was not all that scared. He had been here before. Many times. But it felt slightly different. Maybe it was just that the white stallion never came to congratulate him before. Yeah, that should be what was throwing him off this time, right?
A sharp pain reminded him he had cut himself, so he reached out for a small vial of a bright blue substance in his pocket. It was the last bit of healing potion he had left, so he carefully poured the contents over the sliced wrist. The flesh and blood fizzed and steam came from the area along with a sharp, yet short pain, and just like that the wound was closed as if he had never cut himself in the first place.
With a sigh he stared into the dark red portal. “Jumping down into a hole… It shouldn’t be this hard… why am I trembling this time?” he asked to himself as his muscles tensed in anticipation. He shrugged off the eerie feeling and hop into the puddle, which sucked him in instantly after a huge splash. Soon enough, he’d be back into his home dimension, under the speedway’s bridge, coming out from a puddle of piss and stagnant water, just like all the other times… except, he wasn’t?
-THUD-
A taste like iron invaded his muzzle and soon enough he watched blood drips on the floor beneath him. His nose was bleeding, he had fell face first on the dirt. Things were nothing like all the other times. This time around, he was in a little alley, in front of a broken mirror. “Better than next to piss and dirty water” he thought to himself.
The air was quite different, cleaner than what he was used. This definitively wasn’t the pass under that old bridge.
“Just where the hell did that starfish sent me to this time…?” he mumbled as he fought back the panic that was invading his body. He pressed his nose bridge with a hoof to stop the bleeding successfuly, and after cleaning his snout with a tissue he had on his chest pocket, he proceeded to walk out of the alley.

@Jesse Terrence 

The confused pony walked in a post apocalyptic village named Ponyville.

Houses pre burnt, crumbling walls and signs of chaos and panic painted across the town. But still, the place smells nice.

He would be greeted by silence and an eerie feeling.

Nothing quite special is happening around this pony. but only an awkward stagnancy of the place, which is soon broken by loud sounds of bombardments coming from the castle that could be seen from afar. It also grabbed his attention that somewhere near him, there seems to be an explosion of some sort and smoke is coming from a house two blocks away from you. And the opposite side of the chaos is a road that leads somewhere far from the noise. Choices to be made and careful analysis is required to proceed safely from this terrible world...

(Fuoco)

There wasn't much she could do against crystals, they didn't burn like ponies did, and despite being an earth pony she wasn't all that strong. Still, maybe she could at least help get ponies inside, maybe use some of her limited healing magic if there were injured?

She would rush down the stairs and into the courtyard, holding open the door for any injured ponies to get inside the castle, and if there weren't any nearby, moving to assist any who needed help getting out of danger.

To have gotten to Silver, this creature would need to be inside the house, and thus not far at all from Blu and his gun. Given the relative size of the creature, and the fact that Blu had been ready to fire, getting a direct hit, either head or body depending on where Silver were positioned, would be trivial at this distance.

Blu didn't say anything, simply aimed, charged, and fired. By the time this creature could realize the danger it was in by positioning itself so close to Blu, the bullet would already be in the air.

~fuoco~

Fuoco opening the doors to the courtyard would be re introduced to the chaos she once used to live in. Smell of blood the noise of fear the scene of chaos and the kiss of death readily approaching their faith.

The guards outside bleeding but able to defend the helpless civilians  and injured inside the castle.

A familiar guard would then approach you and give his thanks.

" Thank you ever so kindly miss, let me hold the door instead."

The abled ones where able to enter quickly inside the castle except for the elderly and badly injured ones.

" This is worse than the purple invasion.... Ponies are going to die here..." The shocked guard mumbled as he stare at the chaos outside unfolding.

Some guards are able to move and act in the ensuing madness, while others go limp and add to the load of rescuing.

One of the guards who looks like a high ranking officer is in the middle of it all and is shouting orders and lifting other guards on their feet. While evading and blocking the incoming shards.

" All magic users retreat! Wall units defend! Do not falter!" As these commands where released creatures wearing the royal guard armor form around the castle and started to block the incoming shards that pass through the barrier.

Griffons, hypogryphs, dragons, pegasi and changeling, Guard the air. While the earth ponies,kirins, deers, yaks, felynes, and Diamond dogs, raise their shield.

Meanwhile the magic users retreating are heading up the castle, as if they've been summoned by someone.

Fuoco also hear a faint voice calling inside your head. It seems to be a wide ranged telepathic message. But its interrupted by the black shards scattered across the place. 

 " assistance.....i.......ss.........nee..... Rooftop.. chrysal..... Immediately." Is what she could hear.

[Evil Pink One 12,944]

@Jesse Terrence

As the clown flees, the view of the castle is more visible as he goes further away from the village.

There he sees the castle being rained upon by something really big and black. It appears a force field is blocking it but some of it is getting in and hitting the castle. It also seems like there are other creatures trying to prevent the projectiles from hitting the castle... 

You can see that creatures of different races, colors and breeds are helping one another. Trying to defend the castle.

Soon enough the clown is at the top of a hill over viewing the empty village,(except for that one building with smoke coming out of it. It seems like someones in there.) and the castle under siege. At his back a creepy forest that seems to stare back at him.

"Alright... that place isn't safe either"

Shamrock stoped for a moment to think what to do. For one side, the castle from far away was under siege by an unknown force. Not much he could do to help and most likely a dangerous place. On the other side, the ghost village and the smoking house which, perhaps, wasn't as empty. Not necessarily something good, but more manageable for him. Finally, what seemed to be the infamous everfree forest from the morbid stories he used to read on dark magazines.

After a few minutes pondering the situation, he decided to go back into the village and check out the house. He redied the knife he picked up before he was transported into this dimension and carefully made his way back into the village. Once in front of the house, he filled his air sacs with all the air he could to make his steps lighter and sneaked around the house, looking for a way in.
