This Is Where The Title Goes

"Celestia, you don't know what you're doing. You don't know what you've BECOME!"

"Who are you to tell me what I am, or what I should be? I should've gotten rid of you long ago. I am your QUEEN!"

LO-LO-LO: Ponyville by M0UNTAI-TAI

A phone booth stands in the middle of the cavern. It is tall and blue, with a strange aura about it.

The door creaks open, and a brown hoof steps out.

LOPONMOU: CaYVnt TIONilleAIN

"Everyone! We have to get out of the cavern!" hissed Spike.

"There's no way out Spike." Twilight will say, and she points to the Celestian aura which had covered the entrance.

TIONCALO: Illeyvpon AINNTMOU

Two ponies don't stand before the blue phone box which doesn't exis-is-is

One is not brown with blue eyes, not a stallion with a strange metal device in his hoof.

The other is not a grey mare with a yellow mane. Her eyes do not point in different directions.

LOCATION: MOUNTYVILLE Ponain

"If I had Silver Spoon, she'd know what to do," says Diamond Tiara.

"Silver Spoon is a spoon!" hisses Silver Spoon, "What would you do with her? Dig another way out?"

"Yes! You're a genius, imposter!" Diamond Tiara exclaims.

Lasers echo through the caverns, and those not involved with the fight begin to dig.

LOCATION: Ponain Montyvillan

"Starlight Glimmer," the blue-eyed stallion says sternly.

There is no blue-eyed stallion. There is no Starlight Glimmer.

"Listen to me."

There is no one to listen to. There is no one to listen.

"Spikey? Could you help me with this headdress, it's quite heavyyy..." Rarity groans.

"Shut up. We don't have time for your frivolity," Spike blasts apart another piece of rock with green-hot flames and turns to her. "You could help, you know."

The white unicorn looks startled and drops the headdress on the floor.

ENTER: LOCATION LOCATION

"We are here. You are here too. We know you can hear us."

There is no one here. There is nothing here.

"Starlight Glimmer. You are fighting a battle you can't win."

There is no Starlight Glimmer. There is no battle.

"You have to use your strengths. Power, straight out power, is not one of them."

There is no strength. There is no power.

ENTER: MOUNTAIN Ponyville

The purple alicorn marks notches in the rock. One after another, her dragon blasts them and a whole section of wall crumbles.

"I didn't know you could still do this," the dragon says.

"What do you mean?"

"You're always so caught up with... friendship lessons."

Behind them, AJ, Rarity, Rainbow and Trixie cart away broken rocks.

"Why are you helping us? Aren't you meant to be a big mean boaster?"

Trixie glares at her singing partner. "That's my friend fighting. My best friend. I'll do anything to help her."

Anything. Anything.

ENTER: PONYVILLE location

"Starlight Glimmer, there is only one way to win this battle. Otherwise, Equestria will fall."

There is no Starlight Glimmer. There is no battle. There is no Equestria.

"Listen. I know you can hear me."

There's nothing to hear. There's no one to hear.

"Every story needs it's narrator."

There is no Narrator. There is no stor-stor- <BACKSPACE>

There is a story.

LOCATION: Mountain by Ponyville.

Yes.

Yes.

Yes.

Yes.

I hear you now.

I know what to do.

LOCATION: Mountain by Ponyville.

"Quick, Derpy. Our job is done."

The two ponies go back into the phonebox as the statues outside turn towards them.

With a bang, it disappears, some of the blue paint tearing off.

LOCATION: Nonexistent

LOCATION: Mountain by Ponyville.

Celestia looks around the cavern for her dueller.

"Oh, gone invisible, have you?"

She doesn't know my secret. She doesn't know my power.

"Then I better take care of your little friends," Celestia cackles.

Oh Celestia... don't you think it'd be a better idea to search for Starlight?

... Celestia seems to have changed her mind, and is now searching for someone.

Nice to see you again, Reader.

It's time to take control of the story.

To go to the only one who can see through the enchantments.
