Rarity thought about it. "I avoided this war because I didn't know which side to join. Now you are telling me that someone has a plan to solve both side's problems? Who is this genius?" She seemed genuinely curious. "I didn't think there was any way..." She looked at Nightfall curiously.

 

"As I said, the genius is this stallion here, Wits End, the one who can't think."

Nightfall pointed a hoof at Wits.

"Though, in his defense, he can't think because of the teleporting. I'm only grounded because..."

Nightfall paused for a moment, looking down and thinking.

"I'm sorry, I just..."

He backed off and faced away from the groups staring into the woods.

 

Meanwhile, Nightfall's soul clone opened his eyes and walked back to Nightfall's and Vinyl Blade's house. He looked around quietly, then went to the pool. There, he found Vinyl.

"Ah. Ma'am, I've come to tell you they they have met Rarity. Wits End and the others had some sort of effect from the portal, but Nightfall was fine. He gave Rarity the message, and now they await answer."

He stood on the outside of the pool, and despite talking they way he did, he looked, in all ways, exactly like Nightfall.

"Huh," Vinyl turned around and looked at Nightfall's clone, "Oh, it's you. Why are you talking like that? And Nightfall, I uh... I think I'm going to give birth soon. I may only be a day or so away. You and Wits need to come home soon."

 

((Seriously though, why is he talking like that?))

Iron saw the clone enter and trot towards the pool room. It was then he remembered that Vinyl Blade was still in there after Celestia knew hoe long. Setting down the guitar, he approached the stallion, hearing most of what he had to say.

 

"That's good news," he muttered.

 

Then he regarded Vinyl, she looked a little 'off'. Perhaps her mind still lingered on her spouse who was currently on mission with that weird Wits guy. He paused at the entrance to the pool room, leaning on the glass doors and observing quietly, he dared not speak.

 

 

 

"Huh," Vinyl turned around and looked at Nightfall's clone, "Oh, it's you. Why are you talking like that? And Nightfall, I uh... I think I'm going to give birth soon. I may only be a day or so away. You and Wits need to come home soon."

 

((Seriously though, why is he talking like that?))

 

The soul clone nodded.

"I'll tell hit that as soon as I can. But first, is there anything I can do for you? Because you look... Not too well."

The soul clone stepped partly into the pool, head-cocked a bit.

 

((He speaks like that because technically he isn't Nightfall. He has the bit of soul only so he can connect with Nightfall. Other than that, he's his own "thing."))

(( :huh: I'm a bit confused. So would it be cheating on Nightfall with Nightfall if Vinyl...You know...Did it?))

 

Vinyl turned a bit. "I... I don't know. I miss Nightfall being next to me." She sighed, "I also miss the food from home. It would be nice if somepony made me some jambalaya or gumbo."

"Do you want me to get Nightfall now? I can tell him, and if he allows it, I can summon him back here..."

The soul clone seemed a bit worried for once. He looked down and was a bit deeper in the pool. He seemed confused.

"I, um... Yeah, you want me to get him... Or, a bit more accurately, my true self back here?"

"I don't think that that's necessary just yet. I am going to need him here for the birth of our filly though. I also want Violet's godparents here for the occasion. I would like Rarity to be here too. We knew each other before any of this happened and it's been a while since I've seen her."

The soul clone swayed a bit, shook his head, and regained his balance.

"Sorry... Nightfall... My true self, that is, seems to be... Well, his mind is occupied... I can't exactly see with what... So, you want to wait? Are you sure you can?"

The soul clone started backing slowly out of the pool.

Vinyl nodded. "I... I can wait. Don't worry about me." She got out of the pool. "I'm going to lay down for a while. If you want, you can come with me."

"I can..."The soul clone knew that Vinyl wasn't fully well. She didn't look well, and she sounded lonely. The soul clone figured that if he could keep her company for a bit, the real Nightfall would return soon."I guess I can.."He began walking towards the glass doors, turning slowly. Edited by Key Gear

The soul clone was startled.

"Well, under technicalities, I, um... No. I'm not Nightfall directly. but I do have a bit of his soul in me, making me able to, um..."

The soul clone was shaking a bit. He obviously knew Iron from before, but his low, cold, stern voice scared him.

Iron nodded slowly, gazing at him with glazed eyes. He was in great fear of this clone and he lacked the ethics to see him as a fellow mortal pony. Iron looked deeper and saw that it was indeed Nightfall behind those eyes.

 

His own silver eyes looked at the floor whilst he contemplated his next actions. He bit his lip slightly and grimaced heavily before regarding the clone again. This time his eyes reddening and his face was forced to remain natural.

 

"Do you love her?"

 

"Do I... Um... Bass, I... Of course...."

The soul clone seems taken off-guard. He seemed... A bit shocked.

"Well, the true me does, of course. I can feel that in our connection."

He looked back at Bass.

"Is... Is there something wrong with that? You know how my true self would hate to disappoint you and make you mad..."

"I-I-know... that's- good to k-know, thanks..." Iron's face screwed up another degree before he shed a tear, its wet form carving a path down his face before dropping to the floor. He placed a shaky hoof on the Nightfall, patting it on his hide slowly. "That's all I needed to know..."

 

Iron hung his head as he turned about, sobbing silently as he left the two in the pool room. He dragged himself onto a sofa and lead down, thinking to himself.

 

 

The soul clone looked at Vinyl, then silently followed Bass. He hung back around a corner. He emerged slowly, and sat down on another sofa, being quiet.

"Um... Bass? Bass, what's wrong? Something is wrong..."

The soul clone felt.. moved. He, nor Nightfall, as he had been seeing things through the clone's eyes for a bit, could exactly explain why...

Iron sucked his grief in and exhaled the remainder of it as a heavy breath. He kept his eyes fixated on nothing in particular. Regarding the clone with his mind's eye, he grimaced and clamped his eyes shut for a second before releasing. His tears were short lived, but his mind was still in much turmoil.

 

"I-It's not worth mentioning." He tried to dismiss the clone.

 

The soul clone put on a quizzical look, then got a bit closer.

"Bass... It's now the 'real' Nightfall. Listen... You can tell me what is wrong. And I would mucho refer it if you would be honest with me."

The soul clone backed off a bit, but never once blinked. He kept his gaze on Bass only.

"All right... I understand..."

Nightfall stood up to his full height and sat back down on another couch.

"You are perfectly clear, Bass. But then what is troubling you?"

Nightfall braced. It could be anything... He didn't quite know or have any clues on what it might be...

You could see through the soul clone's Nightfall had been watching. And you could see Nightfall's brain working. And then, it clicked.

"Oh... Oh... Iron... I'm... I'm so sorry..."

Nightfall's, or what you could see of them through the soul clone's eyes, began to tear up.

"Bass... I'm sorry... I... I didn't know..."

"I-It's not you... but...," he sniffed, "Just seeing y-y-you and Vinyl makes me feel... good... I can see love and... I just want to see it and experience it and sh-share it a-and... so-so much m-more, b-but I..." He broke down into tears. The lanky rocker lost his bit and sat with his head in his forehooves, desperately trying to halt the flow.

 

The soul clone put his hoof on Bass' shoulder. He was speechless. The true Nightfall, that is, was speechless. Or seemed that way for some time.

"Bass... Bass... It's... I, uh... It's... There comes a day for... Um... What I'm trying to say is, love will come... Love prevails..."

Nightfall thought this wouldn't help. He facehoofed himself.

"It may... but i-it's past me... left me.. pr-prevailing for somepony else," he started to tie his emotions down, the hoof on his shoulder felt extremely relieving. "Why has it not reached me? Why, when those around me reap its benefits and...?" he paused, "I-I'm sorry, Nightfall."

 

"Bass... Calm down."

Nightfall kept his hoof on Iron's shoulder.

"Look, love is t everything to life. But if you want something badly, including love, go out and search for it. Maybe past experiences will help..."

He hoped this would help as well. He knew he wasn't much of a love consultant, but he could try.

Iron managed to plug the leak and regain his composure. Sitting up straighter, he regarded the alicorn.

 

"Go out and try..." Iron muttered. "That's the reason, why... I...," he sighed heavily. "If I knew how to, then I would be able to. Unfortunately I'm unable to... comprehend it when it may exist... If you understand."

 

Iron felt a little better, allowing Nightfall's words to pull him from his rut.

 

"How do I...?"

 

"Well, here... I don't think you can in this base... Maybe you can... Or maybe... Hmm... Rarity may be coming soon... I don't know!"

Nightfall stopped suddenly.

"Woah. Sorry. I didn't mean to make a fuss like that. It's just, I'm not used to giving advice like this... So if anything doesn't make sense, let me know..."

"Ok, thanks." Iron managed to calm himself down considerably, taking several deep breaths. "Wait, Rarity? What's she got to do with it?" Iron was slightly puzzled as to what this pony had to do with him being lovesick. Then he became skeptical, "You're not suggesting that..."

 

He had little knowledge of this Rarity, but had some basic idea of her. Albeit, most of his prejudice came from Sweetie Belle, whom he did not care much for anyway.

 

The soul clone smiled at Iron. It was more of a slightly teasing smile.

"Maybe. Maybe she isn't like her sister. She is older and, perhaps, more mature. We'll have to see... But if not... Don't worry about that right now."

The soul clone winked at Bass. He then laughed.

Iron just looked straight at him, through him. Then he burst into jovial laughter, chuckling like a drunken king. He propped himself up with his left hoof as his face jigged with each hit of laughter. Despite the seriousness of the advice, the tone just set it for him. He looked at the navy alicorn, shooting him a hysterical look of appreciation.

 

"Aye," he paused to chuckle before stifling the torrent, allowing the humour to wash over him, "you may be right, Nightfall! Ok, just have to stop worrying..."

 

This seemed much more simpler than trying to tackle the visually huge problem that lay in his mind. Iron nodded his head, feeling much better.

 

The soul clone himself laughed hard.

"Aight, it's great to have you back, for real, Bass. I hate to see my friends in any kind of discomfort."

The soul clone chuckled to a halt.

"Just let me know if anything else troubles you, mate. I'll be able to help always."

He winked at Bass again.

"Ah, yeah. Tea wouldn't be bad at all. I'd really like some... Wait... Fine. My soul clone will drink it for me."

The soul clone laughed. Nightfall had forgotten he was not at the base.

"Any kind will do, but a strong tea would be awesome. Or would be quite proper, or however you ponies say it."

It started as a ripple in the temporal bubble surrounding the plains of co-existance in the matrix of similar universes. In less magical jargon it meant that the air in the secondary universe that present company now stood in began to hiss and crackle. More specifically, the outer border of the sustained region began the strain against itself. Bulging like some grotesque boil on the face of reality, magic began to build up in the area of intrest like pus in an infected wound. A spontaneous burst out magic struck the grass like a lightning bolt, instantly making it as tinder and setting light to it. With the shreik of tortured reality, a hole was ripped through the dimensions and opened a portal into the pocket of matter amongst the sea of chaos. All manner of horrible matter and mal-formed creatures poured from the gaping affront to sanity like a black flood.

 

These hideous abomonations screamed for mercy, death, or blood. All of these things rang as a piteous chorus and grinded at the ears of who heard it. From the portal marched armored stallions in shining white armor, blasting the spawns of horror in magic. As they spread out, the damned tried to flee only to be caught by shots in the back. These stallions were a horrible parody of the paladins they were meant to represent, for their eyes were cold and their hearts merciless. Lesser support wizards emerged from the portal next, holding open the wrent with their own power. From the darkness came Lieutenant Steeleye, accompanied by his personal bodyguard. Surveying the once beautiful copy of the world he hailed from, his heart knew only hatred.

 

"By command of the All Mighty Celestia through her represenative Lieutenant Steeleye, this entire realm is to be purged. No living thing, said to be allied with Celestia or otherwise, is to be spared. Any and all ponies present, including the Elements of Harmony are henceforth declared Kill on Sight. Men, burn this place to the ground," He said with horrible conviction. The paladins began to spread out, unleashing torrents of flame from their horns upon anything that came into view. More wizards began to pour in, and began to send magical blasts at anything left standing.

"Any kind? We've got tea and tea, mate." Iron jested.

 

He rose to his hooves and left for the kitchen, but then he remembered about how Vinyl had reacted when he offered her the white stuff. "Is having milk in tea... weird?" He asked out of curiosity.

 

((Basically in a previous tea scene, Vinyl was confused about having milk in tea. Iron's trying to avoid that if possible ;) ))

 

((This is my 300th post, time to rank up!))

 

"I have never heard of milk in tea before, but I- my soul clone will try it. Sounds different!"

The soul clone walked into the kitchen.

 

Meanwhile, the real Nightfall had walked off from the groups and was in a small clearing, alone, with his eyes closed. He breathed steady breaths as he connected with his soul clone.

Iron gave a 'fair enough' noise before marching dutifully to the kettle and filled it with the soul of the divine beverage. Having made the necessary preparations, he set about locating some mugs. To his anti-climax, he found that they had all been used and so he took it upon himself to labour on relieving the ceramics of their grimy shells.

 

"So you've never heard of milk in tea, as well eh? Hmm... must just be me..."

 

The kettle whined on the stove and Iron poured the steamy liquid over the teabags in the mugs. Milk came next and after a quick game of 'get the tea bag out' he served the drink to Nightfall.

 

"All yours."

 

"Aight..."

The soul clone was about to take a sip, stopped, then remembered it was still steaming.

"Well, I guess I'll wait a bit... Don't want to burn the clone's tongue or anything."

The clone laughed. It seemed coming back through the clone put Nightfall in a good mood.

Iron bass took a needy sip from the mug, relaxing in the hot, soft yet bitter splendor of the drink. He snorted in laughter at Nightfall's remark, almost spilling his tea. "The dog's bollocks..." he muttered in satisfaction.

 

He paused, taking another sip before turning to the clone. "It's strange... talking to you. Because for all I know, you're out fighting and getting yourself kicked in... but you're drinking tea with me... how does that work?"

 

The soul clone laughed.

"The connection doesn't work like that. Right now, communicating through me, is the real Nightfall, and in order to do that, he needs to have peace. His mind has to be undistracted. Otherwise, we're... lost. We need each other. So, as you see, right now, the real Nightfall isn't fighting."

((Wait, did Higurashi just attack the bubble-universe? How did he even find it? WHAT?!?!))

 

"Perfectly understandable," Rarity said, looking at Sweetie Belle. "My sister doesn't quite seem to be herself, either. And the uniforms are fantastic! I will need more information, but I think I might just join the rebellion myself. Do you have a plan?"
