After her little exercise Stratosphere moved on and, followed Dark Star seeing it as she took the lead right away. By this time she was used to the unicorn’s constant silence. The reason being is that she has a history of being silent herself. Either if it was because of shyness or, if she simply didn’t feeling like being in a conversation. Of course between the two of them the reasons for silence would be different. In all honesty this topic really has no meaning to begin with. If things do turn out to be some what similar between them then that is fine to but, Stratosphere is still content with her own problems to really care all that much. She has always been that way since her beginning years of living here. She is so used to being on the outside of a situation that anytime she is put on the inside she feels so foreign to whatever is happening. Why? it is a rather long story which can be told some other time. As of now Stratosphere is focused on too many things right now to even waste time being friendly let alone show interest in anything besides what needs to be done. She just wants this whole problem to be done and, over with. So while she follows her given companions her state of mind is actually quite calm. Really there is nothing to even talk about in this situation to begin with so who cares right? In that case lets turn the views on a different situation...
________________________________________________________________________________________
It only took a few minutes for Thunder Cracker’s mind to start brewing up a dream. Unfortunately the disease that has been affecting him has already disrupted his mind already which explains the minor headaches and, extreme depression. Once TC entered the dream world he found himself in a place that was not normal at all. Everything felt off to him, he had no control over the surrounding, it was almost like he was in someone else's imagination. Buildings were barren and, grey, the sky did not have any clouds to fill its empty spaces. The wind wasn’t too cold but, it felt so dim and, silent. There wasn't a single memory of hint that TC could use to recognize anything that he saw. As soon as he got here his first words were more than enough to explain what his initial reaction was. “What the...where; am I?” The reason for all of this was because the disease had created a place of its own. TC was standing in what seemed to be the dull ghost town version of Ponyville. He trotted through the land but, did it in a slow manner. He wasn’t sure what to do since he felt so odd about being here. He felt trapped to be honest. So far the only thing he was managing to do was to think about the option that maybe there are more ponies inhabiting his freak world.
This is only the beginning however...TC was right about one thing. There are other creatures in this dark side of TC’s imagination zone. Deep in the core of ThunderCracker’s imagination were a large array of organisms. They resembled ponies in every way but, the only thing that seemed off was the fact that they were consisted of shadows and, what looked to be dark matter. Just pitch black substance in the shape of Earth Ponies or Pegasi. Oddly they did not have a resemblance to the Unicorn breed. The only thing that seemed magical about them were their bright glowing eyes and, an odd glowing lime green light that outlined their bodies. They had dim grey eyes while their mane and tail were a lighter shade of their pitch black body color. They didn’t have any unique cutie marks except for the same red “X”s that took the place of them. The same X’s were also seen on their foreheads except smaller. Point blank they were a mysterious sight to witness for the first time. The anatomy for male and female ponies were still the same as any normal pony. Besides the large group of these “Eclipse” ponies that were fiddling around with different aspects of TC’s magical energy and, genetic traits it would seem that only two of them had a bigger importance because they were the only ones who actually gave the orders or, just seemed to be ideal items. One of them was a male Pegasus, the age looked to be around a normal stallion and, the other was a female Earth Pony, yet looked to be a slightly younger mare Earth Pony. The difference of these two for the other Eclipse ponies was that they both had long white lines that traveled all the way across their backs and, stop at a point around the ears. Whatever these ponies were doing it didn’t look beneficial in anyway.
As soon as their tasks were done the two Eclipse Ponies described earlier began to have a private conversation to themselves. The first one to speak was the stallion who was reviewing over some kind of list as he spoke. “Now that the corruption process has taken its course I think it is time to move on to Phase 2...agreed?” The mare pony added on soon after her companion finished talking. Her attitude within her words gave hints that she was quite uninterested in anything her partner had to say. However the way she was just laying on the ground might have shown that already. “Yeah yeah; what are we even doing in the first place? All I see is a bunch of losers rearranging things. I’m really bored you know.” The stallion looked over to his partner with a small glare finding her comments unnecessary. His attitude now became a little more strict in means of getting her to show a little effort for once. “You are always bored, now keep quiet and, let me think. If I recall correctly; the boss specifically said that we had to travel here and, find a way to make a transporter to bring him to this life forms braincore. I don’t know what interest our leader would have with some unicorn’s braincore but, you know how stubborn he can be when we question him about his ideas.” The mare pony looked at the stallion with a confused expression. She had no clue where she was to begin with so it made some sense why she would react that way.“Braincore? Is that where we are? I had no Idea this was a braincore. All I saw was the unicorn magic junk so I thought it was the horn or something.” The stallion set down his list while rolling his eyes at the same time. “Well that is because you rarely think. Now if you are done lying on your butt all day I would appreciate it if you helped me in carrying out the final preparations and, no we are not in the braincore. In fact we are far from it. This is merely a reservoir in this unicorn’s imagination. ” “Stop talking to me like I am stupid. It is rude to treat someone that way.” The mare pony turned her back to her companion pretending to be mad with him. As for the stallion who knows she is only pretending takes the free moment to roll his eyes once more before replying to her defensive words. “Fine,...I’m sorry. Now can you please stop fooling around and, help me think of a way to make a transporter?” The mare keeps her back turned to him for a short while before actually turning around to give an answer. “Ok since you asked so nicely. If a transporter is what we need then why don’t we just travel to the horn and, get some magic so we can use it later?” “Hmmm. that is not a bad idea. See what happens when you think before you speak? Come on lets inform the other that we are moving on.” The stallion spreads out his shadow-ish pegasi wings and, starts flapping them until he is somewhat off the ground. Once he was suspended in the air he started to hover his way to the other Eclipse ponies who were finishing their “handiwork”. The mare whom was talking to her now airborne companion immediately started following him from down below. With this said is is a true mystery as to what will happen from this point on.
