Sunset feels Loki's hand in hers and she squeezes back. Her friends are in her heart, and her friend is here, and he believes in her. If there is something she can do, she will find it.
And if she fails, he will catch her. And that means all the world to her when she had once thought she could only be alone.
The tendril is then around her, a moment of fear, but there is no pain and she breathes. "They're listening, something is listening," she said.
Her hand stays with Loki, the other touches the tendril, gentle, careful, and she allows herself to show, flashes of solutions. There are shadows and she offers solutions as she knows. Flashes of drones, communication, evacuation so the heavy hitters could defend.
A switch, telepaths, mentalists, psychics to learn.
Teleporters banding together.
An escape as spirits.
A switch to something of Equestria, ponies using magic and strength and air to defend their home.
Ponies made of crystal afraid and hurting, scars left on their minds from years of terror. Then a bright light, a crystal heart, an alicorn who gleams like a gem.
Sunset stands in front of her school, sees a girl suffering that all consuming emptiness and need for conttol, for understanding, that she knows so well, that is ripping reality apart around them. She knows the answer, she has to, or else everyone will die, their home destroyed, and the girl lost.
And she sees her friends, still fighting, helping as they always do, and she finally Understands why magic was acting up. A friend needed help. So she takes that strength, that magic in her friends, and lets it fill her. She fixed the tears in reality, saved the people, and finally convinced Twilight to take her hand, to escape that emptiness. To fill her with that same warmth her friends granted her.
"I could offer a dozen solutions. How to fight, defend, escape, reason. But right now, you're playing thd game of what ifs. What could you have done then to help. Surely there was something," she said aloud, pushed the words througn the connection. "And there may be more worlds to save from that same threat. It wouldn't be new, and there's always something to try....but that's not now."
Different memories, a story of time unraveling, until a single, desperately alone pony realizes she could choose to destroy every life in her despair, or let it go and be someone new. A torn spell, time returned.
Then Sunset filled with anger, rage, emptiness. She must be strong. She must be powerful. She must have control and maybe that will fill the emptiness. Maybe then she will be loved. She takes the minds of people, change their form....but inside, she doesn't change at all.
And once its done....so many look at her with only hatred. But a few do with forgiveness and she can endure. Live with correcting her mistake.
"You're whose now," she says, the care still there, the sincere want to help. And she digs further into the memories, because pain only comes from happiness and love and she wants to see Who This Is. Who is more then a memory.
Who can be saved Right Here, Right Now.
"I can offer so many possible solutions to save a world in danger...but right now, you're the one who needs saving. Let me see you. You're more then pain. You're love and care and there is a heart bleeds so much because it just wants something pure. You just need to open your eyes again, because I don't think you really want to hurt anyone. You just don't know what else to do. Let's figure it out together."
