“Certainly, even without all your help you would have been my guests until you situate yourself. i doubt it will take long, your abilities as a scientist will certainly make themselves paid for you professor.”
Whistler: “i didn’t want to overstep by making the offer right away.”
“and your girls will certainly find themselves welcomed here. But that is for tomorrow, for now let’s get back to the others upstairs, i admit the large guest bedroom isn’t suited for privacy, but it often helped the new arrivals that came in groups to know where the others are.”
@Revan0123
Vigilante: “you already know, you just are afraid of what could happen when you admit it.”
@UltraVaderMan
Sweetie: “wow, you three are very different, didn’t think that when i saw you all together, you were acting like one.”
Applebloom: gets out of the binds.
“well howsabout we check on them now anyways, seeing as nothing else has shattered it should be fine.”

Vigil: "never underestimate what a good negotiator can accomplish, there's a reason you probably had lots of villains against you that weren't super strong."

Gerald: “Oh, speaking of upstairs, I wonder how the others are doing?”
Stranaii: “Your allies are mostly well…except for the newcomer
Gerald turns to the mirror again
Gerald: “The Inkling? What’s happening?”
Stranaii: “I sense something wrong…

@Cerebrate19
Shelly: “N…no, I don’t-”
Before much more could be said, Bayou showed up. Shelly figured he must’ve noticed the lights flickering
Bayou: “Hey, what’s wrong, Shelly?”
Shelly: “…I…I…”
She hid herself behind the male Inkling. Bayou turned his attention to the strange Inkling opposing him
Bayou: “You! You’re the Inkling who we fought in that match earlier today! What’s the matter? Can’t handle losing so you emotionally take it out on our friend!?”

Bubbles: “Aaaah, thank you Princess Twilight! Thank you, thank you, thank you!”
Matias: I saw Bubbles zip over and hug the Princess
Bubbles: “You’re such a kind pony”
Matias: I chuckle “She can be so adorable, right Professor?”
Utonium: “Ohohohoh, you are indeed correct, Matias”
Matias: “Hey, Plant Man, have you ever seen something more adorable than this?”

Blossom: “You’re right” Laser eyes binds off herself and Sweetie Belle “I think its fair to say ‘Challenge Accomplished’. Right, Mr Texty?”

Buttercup: “Ugh, now you remind me of the time that we were struck with near-permanent makeup from a villain called Mask Scara” Rubs head with hoof “Bubbles really needs to learn that you DON’T HIT A PERSON WITH A HOSE TO REMOVE IT! …I’m still bitter about that”

Whistler: “… then we may want to take a look in a bit of a hurry, no?”
Twilight: “definitely.”

@Revan0123
Vigilante: “beg pardon which one of us is she hiding from? your win was fair and square… 70:30 is not something to argue, no one in my team had good turf painting gear. frankly i’m surprised it was only that high. but i’m really not sure if shelly doesn’t deserve better friends than what you are being right now.”

The Squidcolt chuckles before looking over at shelly, something wasn’t right.
“don’t suppose you’re any good at encouragement?”

Plant Man smiled. “Well, there was this quite precious arrangement of Begonias I saw once… But yes, that is quite cute.”

“You did well.” Texty said. “Cooperation is key to life, remember that.”

Gerald: “Hate to ruin the moment but it seems the Inkling’s in trouble. Matias, Bubbles, since you two know the room she’s in, mind leading us there?”

@Cerebrate19
Bayou: “Hey! That’s enough words out of you! Leave this bar now or it’ll get ugly, you hear me?!”
While Bayou was busy confronting Vigilante, Astra, waiting by the bar to pick up their Sliders, noticed an Inkling pointing to something in the bay. Their friend looked over as well and it started a domino effect. One by one, they all walked over to the bar railing. Confused by what they were all staring at, she also looked out over to the bay to see the old drill platform, far out in the deep waters, beginning to rise up out of the bay. Surprised by this, she quickly ran over to Bayou & Shelly to tell them something happening. She soon noticed a confrontation was occurring
Astra: “What the flying fish is going on here!?”
Bayou: “Astra, stay back. I got this guy”
Astra: “I’m less worried about an Inkling and what’s coming out of the bay!”
Bayou: “What!?”
Shelly: “No…no, not again…
Bayou turns around and puts his arms on her shoulders
Bayou: “What do you mean again? Has this happened before?”
Shelly was stunned in silence. She had no idea why she just said that?
Shelly: “I…I-”
Astra: “HOLY FISH-STICKS!”
Shelly & Bayou turned to see what Astra was cursing about: The oil drill platform had revealed its underside; A massive statue head of a species long extinct. It caused many of the Inklings nearby to panic and run off in terror. Astra, scared by this monstrosity, grabbed Bayou’s arm and took off with the crowd
Astra: “COME ON, WE GOTTA GO!”
Bayou: “BUT SHELLY-”
Astra: “ITS COMING FOR US, JUST RUN!”
While they and the crowd had left the bay area, Shelly was still in the outside bar area, frozen in horror by the sight of it all. It was just like the event she had…experienced? But how could she have experienced it before if this was the first time happening in her beloved city of Inkopolis?
Shelly: “N-…NO, THIS CAN’T BE HAPPENING!”
She tried to run but accidentally tripped instead, saving herself falling on the floor by grabbing a table with her…HOOF!? Shelly let go in shock, landing on the concrete slab with less force than it would’ve been. She blinked her eyes and it turned back into a hand. She looked away to see the running crowd heading to the city. She then looked back at her hand…only to find that it’d reverted to a hoof again
Shelly: “Why is this happening? Why is this happening? WHY IS THIS HAPPENING!?

Shelly’s ponified body began to emit a dark aura from itself

Matias: I look to Princess Twilight before looking back “Uhhh, we can just teleport to the room if its an emergency, right?”
Bubbles: “I’ll go on ahead, see you up there!” Zip
Matias: “…well that’s one less person for teleporting, I guess?”

@Cerebrate19

Blossom: Smiles before turning to CMC “Sorry for the long wait, Scootaloo, but now that we’re done with the challenge, it’s time to-”
Bubbles: “BLOSSOOOOOOM!” Zip
Blossom: “Bubbles, what’s wrong? Where’s Buttercup?”
Bubbles: Breathes in and speaks fast “We went to investigate the noise earlier but then we found it was just Twilight & Vigil helping a passed out squid pony named Shelly, who’s really a creature known as an Inkling, so I went with Twilight to the lab to meet up with the Professor and the others, leaving Buttercup & Vigil with Shelly, but then when we got to the lab, we got told there was an entity inside Gerald’s mind, who’s really some emperor of a star kingdom, so anyway this entity told Gerald who then told us that the Inkling left up with Vigil & Buttercup is in some kind of trouble so I zoomed off to tell you girls an-”
Blossom: “BUBBLES!”
Bubbles: “…oh, sorry” Blushes
Blossom: Facehoofs “Fortunately, I got the general idea of what you just said: Big Trouble!”

@Revan0123
Buttercup: “Why are you asking thi-” Observes dark aura “…oh…that’s not good”

“we are not that far underground but sure. gather around.”
once done they would all be blinked to the large guest room.

@Revan0123
Vigilante: “you’re not gonna like hearing it… but if you had run… if you hadn’t frozen up…”
he points to what was definitely a gun barrel on the statue.
“it’s aiming for the city, which is bad… but see the helicopters… they’re stopping it. problem is… that’s a lot of green gloop and that doesn’t just disappear.”
in the distance a massive BOO-YAAAAH rings out, meeting the firing cannon head on, and scattering the gloopy ink all around a massive blob headed for the bar.
“i think it’s too late for regretting that now, wouldn’t you agree?”

Vigil: “magic users have a little problem, they all have a dark side to themselves, when their positivity just doesn’t come through, imagine yourself except nothing that makes you good is there.”

@Cerebrate19
As the gloopy blob was getting closer, Shelly balled herself up and put her one hand and one hoof to her head
Shelly: “STOP IT! STOP IT! STOP IIIIIIIIIT!
Suddenly, huge slabs of concrete were ripped out of the ground and, some distance away from the bar, formed a protective wall in front of it. The blob of green gloop splashed onto the wall, none of the ink had managed to hit the bar itself. Shelly, hearing the ink had collided with something but was still alive, lowered her hand and hoof, unballed herself and looked up to see the wall in front of them
Shelly: “Wha…did I-?”
As she was thinking this, the wall suddenly collapsed down into the water. The sky opened up again in front of the bar as Shelly saw the statue head had been knocked down, becoming a ruined rock sitting in the bay
Shelly: “But…how did that-”
Bruce: “Shelly, there you are!”
Shelly turned to see Bruce had managed to find her
Bruce: “Are you ok?”
Bruce looked to see that one of her hands had turned into a hoof. While he was a little confused as to how she got that, Shelly spoke up
Shelly: “How’d you even find me anyway?”
Bruce: “Bayou told me. Said that Astra forced him to run off with her. Once this crisis is over, we’re giving her some words for leaving you behind
Shelly: “Those words…again…”
Bruce: “What? Shelly, what do you-”
Shelly: “Why can’t I…can’t I just have…I just want…”
Shelly mentally broke down, slumping in a chair that was nearby and started tearing up
Shelly: “This isn’t real…is it?”
Bruce: “Shelly, don’t speak like that! You’re letting your emotions drowning you, everything’s got a reason to exist”
Shelly: “Oh, everything here’s got a reason, alright…”
She looks up to him with a visibly angry face
Shelly: “EVERYTHING HERE IS TO REMIND ME HOW LOST AND ALONE I AM! I’M MAKING THIS WHOLE THING UP BECAUSE I DON’T WANT TO ACKNOWLEDGE THE WORLD I’M CURRENTLY IN!”
Bruce: “What world? This is your world, Shelly! This is Inkopolis, remember?”
Shelly: “YOU’RE ONLY SAYING THAT CAUSE I MADE YOU SAY THAT!”
Bruce was shocked in silence
Shelly: “YOU’RE MY COPING MECHANISM, BRUCE! I MADE YOU LIKE THIS CAUSE I DIDN’T WANT TO BE IN MY CURRENT SITUATION! I WANTED TO BE BACK IN INKOPOLIS, HAVING FUN LIKE ALL THE OTHER INKLINGS!”
Shelly lowered her head, more tears flowing out of her eyes
Shelly: “Instead…I end up in a world of quadrupeds…with no way home…this is my reward for being spared from a gloopy ink filled death…AND IT’S NOT FAIR!”
Shelly flipped a table as she shouted that last sentence. She slowly put herself on the ground, balling herself up and crying profusely
Shelly: “It’s not fair…it-…it’s not fair!”
Bruce: “Shelly…”
Shelly: “Go on, Vigilante…TELL HIM!”
Bruce, absolutely confused, looks to the other Inkling in the room
Bruce: “What?”

After they had been teleported, Gerald looked to see Buttercup, Vigil and the unconscious Shelly lying on the bed
Gerald: “Oh, hello there, sorry for the sudden reveal but we heard she’s in trouble right now!”
His head jolted to indicate that Stranaii had taken over for a minute
Stranaii: “I can feel it…it’s getting worse. If something is not done, the darkness will soon overtake her”
His head jolted again to indicate that Gerald had been given control over the body again
Gerald: “We’ve got to do something”

Bubbles: Zip “We’re here!”
Blossom: Zip “Where’s the trouble?”
Buttercup: Looks to dark aura “There’s your trouble!”
Blossom: “What is this aura surrounding them?”
Buttercup: “Vigil here says its due to their ‘dark side’ within them overwhelming their positive self or something along those lines. Other Gerald, or whatever the heck that was, confirmed this is serious trouble”
Matias: “Well how exactly are we supposed to do to help her, Gerald? It’s not like we can just jump into her head and tell her to calm down, wake up or something silly like that!”

Vigilante doesn’t say a word instead he trots over passing through bruce like he’s nothing and just hugs Shelly.
“You’re NOT alone though Shelly, and you’re not trapped. you just had to go further than usual to respawn. do you remember the cave and the pool? equestria’s water is a bit different than the sea here.”
in the bay the lights of inkopolis shine on, as the statue falls apart and sinks again.
“A lot of people care, and they want to help you too.”

Bruce: “I…I…
Bruce looked at his fading body and then to the two inklings. He drooped his head in depression as he vanished, finally recognizing himself as nothing more than a figment of a friends imagination. Shelly, still dripping with tears, struggled to say anything in her emotionally broken down state
Shelly: “I…I don’t understand. My…my mind based your identity on Vigil…the one who told me the horrible truth?”
Shelly flashbacks to the moment
Vigil: “Well, hate to burst the bubble on that but despite receiving a lot of visitors, we’ve had basically no luck sending anyone home so far…”
The flashback ended
Shelly: “How can I not be trapped in the world I’m currently in!? …I have no place to call for my own. No life, no fun and games…and no friends to share that life with
The bay and city begins to fade into the dark filled void as Shelly looked over to the railing, her tears starting up again
Shelly: “How can anyone live their life after being thrown out of the one they know? How can my species ever survive in an environment that’s not suited for us? How can I ever recover from being told that the life I once knew can never be given back again?”
The dark filled void now surrounded the area around the bar
Shelly: “I see now that my life has no meaning without Inkopolis…”

@UltraVaderMan

Stranaii: “Her condition is darkening
Gerald decided to do something, no matter how little it was. He walked up to the bed and put a hoof on Shellys chest
Gerald: “Hello, Shelly. I…know this is going to sound a bit weird since we’ve only just met but…”

I don’t want you to fall into despair
Shelly: “Huh?! “Who…who said that?”

Gerald looks to the others around the room
Gerald: “Come on, folks. Lets all give her a reason to care about living”

Matias: I nodded and came over to Gerald’s side, putting a hoof on his shoulder “Shelly, this is Matias Andersson. I’m the pony who, along with Princess Twilight, was observing you while you were speaking with Silent Vigil earlier.
If you can hear me, I want you to know that we’re all here for you. Gerald’s partner, Stranaii, told us about you falling into despair. He couldn’t give us more details but…I assume Vigil told you something that broke your heart…as it broke another travelers heart: Jonis. He was in our company for a while before being told the cold hard truth from Wind Whistler…”
Bubbles: “…about what?”
Blossom: Puts hoof on Bubbles mouth “Quiet, Bubbles, she needs help!”
Matias: “He also struggled to accept the truth, like you’re going through right now…he cried…he also fell into despair…he was also contemplating whether to continue or not? But…on the advice of a local Equestrian pony known as Pinkie Pie, he decided to visit another displaced individual called Zap Apple. He helped him soothe his troubles, empathized with the struggle he had. While I can’t say what’s happened to him since then, I do know that he at least left on a brighter note” I motion my head to the Powerpuffs and Utonium to come over “If he could get better, Shelly, you can as well. Think about it. You’re not the only one who’s been displaced here too, many others with me have also been dragged to these new lands” I feel Blossom touching my shoulder before I looked over to see that Buttercup has Blossoms shoulder, Bubbles with Buttercup’s shoulder and Utonium with Bubble’s shoulder
Blossom: “Shelly, my name’s Blossom”
Bubbles: “I’m Bubbles”
Buttercup: “I’m Buttercup”
Utonium: “And I’m Utonium”
Blossom: “We know what you’re going through cause we had a similar experience too when we were first created, during the early days”
Bubbles: “It was horrible”
Buttercup: “We felt like our lives as we knew it were gone too”
Blossom: “But, through those trying times, we learned to be better. To not give in to our struggles or be manipulated as we did so in past”
Buttercup: “It took a few attempts-” Shoulder gets bumped by Blossom who gives glare “But we managed to crawl our way out of the pit known as despair”
Bubbles: “We learned that one should never give up the fight or give in to their scary mean demons”
Utonium: “Just because someone stumbles and loses their path, it doesn’t mean they’re lost forever. Sometimes, we need a little help”
Matias: I couldn’t help but tear up at that line “As frightening as it can be, Shelly, you are not alone in this world.” I motion for Plant Man to come over

Whistler Steps up as well.
“the truth is not a punishment, and not a privilege, it is a right, a need. that is what i taught my son, and this truth especially, painful as it is, is what you NEED not what you want, not even what you deserve… My name is Johann, i aided a genius, i was happy creating things, then i woke up here, in the forest… i was among the first. you are NOT alone, many roads lead here, you may just be the first among your kind too, and they may need someone better than myself to show them around.”

inside her mind all these statements echo around.
Vigilante: “a part of you agrees… the part that fashioned me after the colt that wants nothing more than to welcome you. You gave him a voice, and he has something to add too.”

outside, Vigil steps up last.

Shelly: “I…I don’t-”
Shellys eyes widened as she slowly turned around to see the friend she saw back in her closet, back when the dream had begun. A new flood of tears came out of her eyes upon seeing her
Shelly: “R…Reesi?”
Reesi: “Come on Shelly, we now know that I’m just a figment of your imagination”
Shelly: “But…you looked eyeless…horrifying last time I-”
Reesi: “Because you were scared Shelly. Most of your mind was in denial after what Vigil told you, its why you imagined you were back in Inkopolis again. I represent the part of you that accepted that truth, the part of you that learned to move on”
Shelly: “I’m…I’m scared…”
Reesi: “I know you’re afraid, Shelly…but being afraid is natural. Fear is like a companion. A constant companion, always there”
Shelly was in silence as Reesi continued
Reesi: “But that’s okay, if you ask me. Because fear can bring us together, like it’s doing right now in the real world”
Shelly: “But how could I hear them if I’m dreaming?”
Reesi: “Because a part of you didn’t want to accept this imaginary world you lived in…my part. I essentially left a window crack open to let you hear their words…because that’s you need right now, Shelly: Encouragement”
As she said this, the dark void began to pull backwards from the bar
Reesi: “Encouragement to live your life to the fullest. Encouragement to never give yourself in or to give up the fight. Encouragement to crawl yourself out of the pit known as despair”
Shelly: “…”
Reesi: “You are not alone in this world, Shelly, you never have been. You only chose to think so because you didn’t want to accept the truth”
The void pulled back further, showing the city skyline and the bay again
Reesi: “Right now, a whole group of individuals up there want to help you, to better understand you. They want you to understand that Truth is not a punishment, that its not a privilege…its a need. But just because its a hard one to swallow doesn’t mean it can’t be accepted in the end”
The void pulled all the way to where it started, revealing the entire bay and the sun again as it shined over the entire area
Reesi: “I think your other figments can agree on that”
Shelly turned to see that Bruce, Astra and Bayou had faded back into the world. Seconds later, a whole group of inklings faded in as well, filling up the area around the bar
Astra: “We know you can do it Shelly”
Bayou: “We know that you can be strong in the face of darkness”
Bruce: “We know that there’s nothing to be in denial about anymore”
All the Inklings surrounding Reesi, Vigilante and Shelly began turning into squid ponies
Reesi: “You know there’s nothing to that can limit you to what you can do when you put your mind to it”
As she said this, Reesi turned into a squid pony as well
Shelly: “You’re…you’re right”
Shellys other arm turned into a hoof
Shelly: “There’s nothing that can put me down for long”
She got on all fours as the rest of her body was slowly changing back into her real world form
Shelly: “I shouldn’t be so afraid of change that I can never accept reality again”
Her body had fully become a squid pony
Reesi: “You see now, Shelly? I think its fair to say that you overreacted to some silly little words”
Shelly: “You’re absolutely right”
Reesi chuckled as the surroundings around the bar began to whiten
Shelly: “Let me guess, I’m about to wake up now, aren’t I?”
Reesi just smiled
Shelly: “Thank you. Thank you for making me realize now”
Shelly turned to Vigilante
Shelly: “Thank you for being the voice that I should’ve listened too long ago”
The whole area became a thick white void
