Sombra did not appreciate being turned invisible.

It made it hard to see, and he found that he could not summon magic. Which left him without reading as an option, and practicing magic was not currently possible. This left him bored out of his mind.

He paced back and forth, in and out of the shadows, waiting desperately for something to happen.

Sombra thought he heard something outside, and stiffened. Nothing happened.

He groaned, and looked up at the ceiling.

His ears pricked up as he heard hinges creak to his side. He turned to see Twilight. Just as Moon Rise had promised.
"wait for my signal," she said inside his head. He wasn't sure how to return this message, so he simply waited. Twilight scanned the room, as it she felt that something was off. Her eyes fixed on the large crystal that Sombra had used to patch the wall. Her eyes widened. She was about to turn around to run when Moon Rise revealed herself in front of Twilight. Twilight gasped, and growled at her.

"Where... is... Cadence?" she asked.

Moon Rise laughed. She undid the invisibility spell on Sombra and Cadence. Moon Rise shot a spark of darkness into the air, above Twilight, and Exchanged a glance with Sombra. He laughed, thrilled to finally have something to do. Twilight spotted Cadence, and started running towards her. Sombra summoned black crystals, and shot them at Twilight. She gasped as one snagged her coat, but she kept running.

"Cadence! CADENCE! Run! Get out of here!" Twilight shouted. Cadence stayed, and looked twilight up and down. She smiled, and shot a beam of darkness at her. It exploded in front of Twilight, and stunned her. Cadence slowly walked back towards Twilight, a smile growing on her face. Twilight registered that the whites of her eyes had turned green. Twilight took a step back, putting the pieces together. Sombra charged towards Twilight, his smile growing wider.

"Dont... kill... her." Moon Rise ordered slowly. Sombra hesitated. He growled, and instead, made a huge black crystal shoot out of the ground, and pin her to the wall by her wing. Twilight gasped, and tried to break free. In desperation, she screamed, and kicked off against the crystal. Feathers were torn from her wing, as she tumbled to the floor. Moon Rise made darkness wrap around her, and pin her to the ground. Twilight shouted in frustration, and summoned a huge blast of white magic. The darkness was destroyed. Twilight sprinted towards one of the stained glass windows. Moon Rise growled, frustrated, and ran after her. Twilight jumped, and crashed through the window. She tried to fly, but couldn't catch the wind because of her damaged wing. She gasped, and started plummeting down the side of the castle. Moon Rise jumped through the window, after her, followed by Cadence. Sombra looked down at them, and made a crystal shoot up out of the ground. it pinned Twilight to the wall, almost crushing her. Sombra made black crystal stairs wind down the side of the castle. He galloped down them, and stopped in front of Twilight who was currently having trouble breathing. Moon Rise slowly approached her. Twilight teleported herself out from under the crystal, and into the edge of the Ever Free Forest. she turned to see Moon Rise in temporary confusion, and started sprinting in the opposite direction. Her wing stung, but it felt mildly annoying compared to the terror surging through her veins.

She didn't dare slow down, afraid what would happen if she did. Slowly, the woods seemed to become more familiar. She stopped at the edge of Pony Ville, and spotted Apple Jack's orchard. A thought occurred to her. The crease between her eyebrows tightened as she realized in terror what had happened to Apple Jack. She remembered the green unicorn that Pinkie pie had tried to introduce to her. Pinkie would have gone to Apple Jack next...

Twilight sprinted towards her friends apple ranch. She didn't dare think about what would happen if she failed to bring her back. She thundered past Big Mac and Granny Smith. She stopped by Apple Bloom, out of breath.

"Apple... Jack... where is... she?" Twilight asked her.

"Last I saw, she was in her room. I think she's sick r' something." Apple Bloom answered.

"Thank you," Twilight told her, and sprinted towards the house. She opened the door, and ran up the stairs.

"APPLE JACK! Apple Jack!" Twilight shouted, and opened the door to her room. Like Apple Bloom had promised, there lay Apple Jack, staring off into space. Twilight waved her hoof in front of AJ's face. Apple Jack didn't react. Twilight covered her mouth with her hoof as tears formed in her eyes.

"wake up... please wake up..." she whispered. Apple Jack seemed oblivious to the fact that Twilight was even there.

"WAKE UP!" Twilight shouted, and shook her by the shoulders. She didn't move. tears formed in Twilight's eyes, and streamed down her cheeks. She tried to summon a light spell, and press it into Apple Jack's forehead, but as soon as the magic made contact with Apple Jack, darkness began to bleed into it. Twilight Screamed in frustration, and killed the magic on her horn. She hugged Apple Jack, and started sobbing over her.

"wake up... please... please..." she whispered. Her eyes narrowed as in idea formed in her head. She stood up, and backed away from Apple Jack. Twilight took a deep breath, and tried to press magic into her head again. Darkness bled into it like it had earlier. Instead of pushing the darkness away, she started forcing it out of Apple Jack's system by taking it into her own. Dark spots started appearing in her vision. Her knees collapsed under her as she pulled the last of it out of Apple Jack. Twilight Stared at the ground, and started panting as she tried to keep the darkness out of her mind. In desperation, she summoned white magic, and tried to destroy it. But as she cast the spell... darkness bled into the magic. Her eyes widened. Apple Jack began to stir. She groaned, and sat up. She rubbed her head. Twilight Came into focus. She quickly killed the magic on her horn. Apple Jack's eyes snapped wide open as she remembered what had happened. She backed away from Twilight, and toppled off the other side of her bed. She screamed, and gripped herself. Tears started streaming down her cheeks. She gasped between sobs, and curled into a ball. Twilight slowly walked around the bed, and sat down next to Apple Jack. She tried to wrap her good wing around Apple Jack comfortingly, but she backed away, and pushed Twilight back.

"I'm sorry Twi... I'm so sorry..." she trailed off into a sob.

"It's okay... it's all going to be okay..." Twilight tried to comport her. Apple Jack wiped the tears off of one of her cheeks, and shook her head.

"No. it ain't, is it?" she asked.

Twilight swallowed the lump that had formed in her throat. Apple Jack stood up, and leaned against the wall.

Apple Jack wiped off her tears, and took deep breaths to slow her heart beat. she gripped herself, and pinched the bridge of her nose between her hoofs to slow her tears. she slowly looked at Twilight's injured wing

"I reckon you got in a fight with that freak," Apple Jack guessed, and nodded towards her bloody feathers.

"Oh... yeah." Twilight answered, and raised the crooked wing.

"where do you reckon she's right about now?" Apple Jack asked, and pulled some bandage out of a small first aid kit from her saddle bag, hung up on the wall.

"I... don't know..." Twilight trailed off. Her eyes widened, realizing that she might have put Apple Jack and her family in danger.

"She must be looking for me, though... god, we need to get out of here!" Twilight said urgently, and tried to pull away from Apple Jack as she bandaged up her wing. Apple Jack tied off the bandage, and nodded, understandingly. The earth under them seemed to rumble. Apple Jack and Twilight turned to look out the window to see a huge explosion go off in the distance.

"What in the hay was that?" Apple Jack asked. Twilight squinted, and made out two figures Circling each-other in the sky, above the explosion. Her eyes widened.

"Spike!" she shouted, and galloped down the stairs. Apple Jack took one last glance at the explosion, and followed Twilight down the stairs. Twilight sprinted down the road, towards the destruction, running as fast as she could. She started to tremble as her fears were confirmed that they had blown up the Library.

"SPIKE! Spike!" She shouted as she sprinted towards the wreckage. She scanned what was left of her home desperately. Tears streamed down her eyes. Slowly, they turned to hatred. She screamed, and shot a huge blast of magic at Moon Rise, but as it left her horn, it turned to darkness. Moon Rise made it curl around her. She shot it back down at Twilight, pinning her to the ground. Twilight growled, and forced it to let her go. Moon Rise went into temporary shock. She growled, and dove towards Twilight, darkness shooting her forward like a bullet. But before Moon Rise could reach her, something rammed into her side. She gasped, and was violently thrown off course. She looked to see the bright blue Pegasus with a rainbow mane and tail.

"Get out a here!" Rainbow shouted, and kicked at Moon Rise, but before her hoof could hit her, Moon Rise made darkness wrap around her ankle, and throw her to the side like a rag doll. She slammed into the ground. Apple Jack ran to go see if she was all right. Twilight Braced herself as Moon Rise shot more darkness at her. She dogged to the side, and started running towards her. Then a black crystal shot out of the ground at her in an attempt to knock her out. Instead, she bounced off it, and shot darkness back at Moon Rise. She growled as it continued to have no effect. She landed on all four hooves, and desperately tried to summon her normal pink magic. It didn't work. Twilight growled, and shot more darkness at the mare.

"Stop right there!"

Twilight never thought she'd be so relieved to see Rarity trotting up the road, followed by Pinkie Pie Carrying a terrified Flutter Shy. Rarity pulled out a box, and opened it to reveal the elements of harmony.

"Lucky for you, I took them so that I could make replica necklaces for my next line!" Rarity said happily.

"You took them?!" Twilight shouted.

"Well, I knew you would say no," she defended herself. Twilight groaned, and used her magic to pick them up. Cadence and Sombra exchanged a glance, and started running for the box. Moon Rise, on the other hand looked from the element of magic to Twilight. A small smile appeared in the corners of her lips. Apple Jack helped Rainbow limp over as Twilight hastily passed around the elements. Rarity used her magic, and made Sombra and Cadence Levitate off the ground long enough to throw them back, against the ground. Twilight Finished putting on her friend's Necklaces, and placed her crown on her head. Cadence Made darkness swirl around her, and Sombra summoned tons of black crystal. Moon Rise had given them one order. Do not kill the princess. The others would not be so lucky. Twilight and her friends started to levitate off the ground. The others found themselves surrounded by a white aura, but Twilight's was black. The typical rainbow surrounded them, but the once purple streak had turned black. The rainbow split into three parts, shooting at Cadence, Sombra, and Moon Rise. Cadence and Sombra screamed, as the Elements threw them back, slamming them against houses. Moon Rise on the other hand laughed, and made the darkness in the single streak bleed into the others. The darkness curled off her harmlessly. Her smile slowly faded as she looked down at Sombra and Cadence. She narrowed her eyes, and made them flash out. Apparently, she didn't like the idea of losing what she had worked for, because she flashed herself out with them. She would be back, but this battle was over. The elements aura slowly faded, and the six ponies landed on the ground. They looked at her expectantly.

"Dearie, would you mind explaining what just happened to your element?" Rarity asked, and pointed at Twilight's crown. Twilight sighed, and collapsed to her knees.

"Earlier, Moon Rise had taken over Apple Jack. She looked like she was dying, and I didn't know what to do, and... I pulled the darkness out of her... and put it inside myself," Twilight said, and looked at the ground. Apple Jack looked at Twilight, and tears started forming in her eyes.

"why, Twilight?" she asked.

"I couldn't bare to see you die,"she said, and broke into a sob. The others didn't know how to react to that.

"Well, we are certainly glad that Apple Jack is alright, aren't we?" Rarity said. The others didn't respond. All they could think is that the element of magic had given up her light. And now, she might not be able to get it back.

(review, rate, plz. And, no Spike is not dead, I would never do that to him. But seriously review. Plz. Thnx.)
