"What is it Elements? Where is Snow? I'm usually able to locate her with ease but, I cannot for some reason." Tremalion said, appearing deeply troubled.
Dark Shine rubbed the back of his neck with his hoof. "That is the issue. Snow has been taken by an Alicorn known as Black Night and we need to rescue her!"
Tremalion's eyes became filled with an emotion that Tremalion rarely felt, fear. But it was there for only a split second, "Then this is much more serious than I previously thought. And Dark Shine, where's your amulet?"
Dark Shine looked at his neck. A sence of fear, clearly caught in his eyes. "WHAT?! WHERE DID IT GO?!" He began pacing up and down really fast. "Nononononononono!" He then looked at Tremalion. "Black Night must have taken it. Me, Snow, Winter and Midnight were in a clearing in ponyville. When all of a sudden, I lost my bearing and I could not feel a thing. When I regained my sences, Snow was gone. I never noticed the amulet going missing! This is bad! Snow AND the Amulet!"
The Clockmaker looked at him with his crystal eyes. "Karl isn't a machine, his replacement is gonna get upgraded as well as his body in general." He looked into the fire. "And i know alot of things. Sadly, that extends to the end of this universe." His eyes widened when he mentioned that, then waved it off with his hand. "You probably wan't to know either about me, or about the curse i put on Karl." He still gazed in to the fire. "And no, i rarely get a visitor other than Karl."
Dark Shine looked at Fire and nodded. "Yes, some way of saving Snow and regaining the Dual Pegasi Amulet. Snow rescued first, of course. But, we need a plan. Got any ideas?"
"We're obviously not going to be able to hurt this Black Night character. We weren't even able to scratch Pain. So we can't go storming off there willy nilly." Said Arrows. "We'd need to sneak in undetected and take back the amulet, free Snow and get the Hell outta there."
Gaze had gotten an idea but he knew he was not going to like it "if we couldn't hurt pain maybe he can think of way to hurt Black Night," Gaze said.
"Excuse me comrade, what was that about a 'murdering manic'?" asked a familiar voice, they turned around to see a chained Pain standing next to Dark. He could obviously move now, but it wasn't near at the level that he would be able to unhindered. "I know about Black Night. And I do know a way we can beat her, and she is much easier to hurt to hurt than Pain, if Pain was a block of steel, Black Night would be a rock. And the way to beat her is a very special thing me and Snow can do, but something we haven't done in many, many years. We must make Snow Light, Alicorn, Element of Balance." Dark said
"Which means we need to find Snow, and rescue her without being detected, right?" Dark added. "Anypony got any ideas for that?"
"OPIAT." was all Tremalion said, before leading them off. He lead them to His new wing of the palace was called the Hall of Redemption. He turned to a door and after some eye and hoof scans, and the punching in of a pass code, the door slid open, revealing the strange mass of floating blue stuff filled with tons upon tons of spots of lights, "Hello again Elements, what brings you? Are you searching for your friend Snow Mark?" OPIAT said/asked in his dreary voice, glowing with each syllable that he spoke.
"Of course, you know, I foresaw Black Night's return, but as according to the rules of Fate, I may no longer tell you the events to come. Anyways, let me slip out of SCHOLAR mode and into one a bit more...friendly, and search for your friend of course." OPIAT said, before darkening considerably. When he lit back up, his light seemed, brighter? Happier? "Ah yes Snow Mark is in a very special confined corner of Equestria." came a voice that sounded much happier and had a bit of a British accent, "Alright lads, do any of you have a map? Anypony? Anypony?"
(Sorry to any British players if I butcher the accent) "Well that bloody figures, of course you don't have a bloody map, why would need one. Anyways, would you mind turning around, I can make one but I don't like doing it with ponies watching, or anyone for that matter." OPIAT said.
(The Irony I thought that you chose BRITISH as friendly XD) Dark Shine sighed before turning around. He then began to think. Why would Black Night take Snow... She could have done a lot more... But, she just took Snow... Something does not feel right. Oh well... I can judge that after, Snow is rescued and the amulet is once again safe.
