"Solar Flare! At least release my other friends! Also, you didn't even think about releasing Celestia from your clutches. You're so evil," Rainbow Dash interjected.

"Why should I care? I got bored without Twilight being in the throne room. I decided to turn her evil just for the fun of it. I manipulated her, if you want to know why," Solar Flare confided. "She will forever be evil!"

"Why didn't you tell us? You're the worst," Fluttershy asserted. "You're much worse than Nightmare Moon! Twilight doesn't deserve to be tricked into joining the dark side!"

"Ahahahaha, you cowardly fool..." Solar Flare taunted.

"Stop! Just no..." Rainbow Dash retorted. "I won't let you hurt Equestria any more! You can't hurt Luna any more, too-"

"I thought you never liked her," Pinkie interrupted.

"She's an okay princess."

"Oh! Then why did you prank her like that on Nightmare Night? Were you trying to be mean?"

"Okay, she used to be Nightmare Moon. I felt like..."

Solar Flare flashed out her wings with intensity in her expression, and scowled at the group. She stood tall as if to seem intimidating. "Muahahaha..." She chortled softly.

"You're so evil," Link commented. "You wouldn't even release Luna! She would help us and Twilight in stopping you and protecting Equestria!"

"Whatever. Luna's useless anyways right now, because I placed a curse on her. When you enter the Castle of the Royal Sisters, she shall enter a death-like sleep! Only a true love's kiss can break the spell!"

"Your banishment could also break the spell," Zelda told Solar Flare.

"Yeah," Rainbow Dash said. "Why does the princess need a stallion to smooch her so that he could save her?"

"Because Link and Luna apparently had a thing for each other," Solar Flare assumed.

Link's face went red with embarrassment as he replayed Solar Flare's words in his mind. "Are you serious? How do you know that she likes me? Wouldn't she date a prince?" He asked in fake denial.

"She loves you, even though you're not a prince," Solar Flare told him.

"I'm a peasant."

"She doesn't care who you are. Anyways, I must go. This has become an awkward situation..." Solar Flare arched her brows as she smirked evilly.

"Oh, please," Zelda said. "You made Link feel awkward because he had a thing for the princess of the night."

"What about it?" Solar Flare levitated into the air, her hooves slightly off the ground.

"Tough luck, fools. You won't survive the deadly heat so easily," Solar Flare concluded as she turned her attention to Link. She locked eye contact with him, and grinned evilly. "You won't see the princess or her night ever again! Muahahahaha! Too bad, too late! I changed my mind about the curse just now, and decided to complete Luna's doom."

"What? No," Link replied in denial.

"It is true. Look!" Solar Flare used her magic to let Link see what happened at the Castle of the Royal Sisters. The image showed Luna in a sleep which made her seem lifeless. She seemed to be in a lot of pain, for her still mane was dishevelled, and her coat was covered with dirt and blood. The most shocking thing about the image was that she had no wings!

Link couldn't keep it in anymore. He wanted to save Luna... His close friend, future soulmate, and lover... Now she's gone! And he's too late to rescue the beautiful princess that suffered so much during captivity. Tears stung his eyes as he tried to fight back the waterworks. Solar Flare only grinned widely as the magical image disappeared. "The curse has been fulfilled!" Solar Flare announced.

"You're a terrible liar, you know that? You're placing Equestria into eternal doom," Discord told Solar Flare. "You stole that beautiful alabaster alicorn that I used to love in my younger years. Although she wouldn't forgive me, I still love her... And you corrupted her!" He snapped his fingers as if to summon a sword.

Solar Flare chuckled evilly as she defended herself with her fiery magic. "You'll never save the ones that you care about. Remember, the day shall last forever! I have said this countless times," She finished as the fiery tendrils surrounded her. She cackled as she disappeared into thin air.

"Wait!" Link shouted tearfully.

"I remember when you used to have such feelings for Midna and Hilda. The result? You don't get to actually date them," Zelda reminded him.

"Stop. It's not helping," Fluttershy scolded. "That's a little mean."

"Okay, did anypony wonder why the ground started feeling wet? There wasn't any rain," Rainbow inquired.

"What is going on?" Pinkie asked.

"The world is probably going to be underwater," Fluttershy said.

"I'm not sure if that's possible," Zelda replied. "For now, let's stay calm and finish the quest. By the way, suppose the sun stays on one side of the Earth, and the moon on the other side, this side will be heated up and get more heatwaves. The other side will go into an ice age, with a prolonged winter."

The group proceeded to enter the barn, but as they entered the building, they saw a figure sitting in a corner. "Apple Jack, is that you?" Rainbow Dash asked.

"Of course. I thought you'll never find me," Apple Jack replied as she approached them.

Meanwhile, Spike tried to escape the Castle of the Royal Sisters. However, his attempts were futile, as Solar Flare and the now evil Twilight stopped him in his tracks as he ran outside. "Well, well," Solar Flare started. "I guess you are trying to find the others, I presume? I am angered at not knowing where you will go."

"Solar Flare! You're the worst. You turned Twilight into an evil follower of yours, and you even placed Princess Luna into an eternal slumber," Spike retorted.

"Hmm, there is a reason behind that... That is because evil life becomes very boring sometimes. I decided that Twilight shall become my henchmare and help me to carry out my evil plans. And then I cursed that annoying alicorn of the night, because she was advocating for the night. She had no idea how beautiful my sunlight is!"

Solar Flare fumed as she finished her explanation. "She thinks that she's the fairest of all, huh? I proved her wrong by allowing the curse to fulfill itself," She screamed.

"You're as evil as Tirek, to be honest," Spike commented as he narrowed his eyes to seem courageous.

"Oh, why, thank you very much! That was a kind compliment," Solar Flare crooned with mock sincerity. "Well, everypony knows how evil I am. Thank you..."

"Stop mocking me!"

"That's not how you are supposed to respect our Queen!" Twilight shouted at Spike.

Spike gulped as he crouched in fear. Twilight leaned in, and huffed loudly. "Well... You are such a cowardly rebel," She continued.

"What happened to the Twilight that I know? You wouldn't do this... You would run out of the place with me in no time, not kiss up to the evil Solar Flare."

Just then, the solar guards brought in several fillies and colts. All of them were chained up, and they seemed frightened of what could happen to them. "Save us," Sweetie Belle cried out.

"Anypony please help us," A colt added in. "I wanna go home!"

"How could they kill Miss Cherilee?" Scootaloo asked.

"I know, right? It's just mean," Apple Bloom agreed.

"Aaaah! It's Solar Flare! Why can't Princess Luna save us from the evil empress?" An older filly screamed with terror.

"Relax, Twilight is here," An older colt replied.

"I'm not here to save you, but to execute you for shunning the sun and also our Queen Solar Flare! You won't revel in her majestic glory at all," Twilight objected as she approached them.

"Twilight, no!" Spike begged. "It would be immoral if you kill the innocents!"

"Get out, already!" Twilight lost her temper and pointed at the exit.

"Fine, but everypony will hate you if they ever learn of your heinous crimes against the innocent children of Equestria..."

"Twilight! You betrayed us," Pipsqueak cried out.

"So? What's the point in respecting the night anyways? The night is useless," Twilight spat with such hostility.

"Stop... Don't do it," Sweetie Belle said.

"It's too late. She became an evil villainess," Scootaloo objected.

"There's still-"

"Twilight would be cruel to you," Apple Bloom said. "I thought I liked her, but now I hate her with such a passion!"

Pipsqueak was the first to be hanged on the gallows in the courtyard. The other fillies and colts watched in horror and sadness as they witnessed the end of this sweet colt that declared Princess Luna to be his favorite princess. "I'll burn one of them on the stake," Solar Flare interjected as she took a random filly and tied her on the stake. The poor little unicorn froze in fear as Solar Flare chuckled at her misery.

"You will burn," Solar Flare said.

"I don't want to die! I wanna go home!" The unicorn screamed.

"Well, you'll go home in the afterlife... But expect eternal misery!"

Solar Flare torched the wood and gunpowder beneath the fearful little filly, and within a second, the flames swirled around the unicorn. The unicorn screamed in pain and agony as Solar Flare and Twilight watched on with amusement. "Princess Luna! Help me!" The unicorn screamed at last as her wailing faded to silence.

"Button Mash, you're next," Twilight told the colt that was obsessed with video games.

"No! I wanna go home. I can't leave Sweetie Belle here," Button retorted.

"Lose your head... Now! Onto the guillotine!"

Spike couldn't believe it. A mare that declared herself to be Luna's student appeared by his side, unchained but dishevelled. "Let's go," She said.

"Luna told me a bit about you. You're Midnight Glitter, right?" Spike replied. "Also, let's get outta here! I hate this place and the immoral stuff that Twilight did. Maybe she shouldn't have become a princess and maybe she shouldn't have bothered to be Celestia's student at all!"

Spike hopped onto Midnight's back, and Midnight ran out of the castle quickly. All of a sudden, Spike couldn't take it no more. He started sobbing into Midnight's tangled mane, and Midnight halted as they found Zelda and the others. "Twilight betrayed us all!" Spike admitted. His eyes were all red and watery from the crying.

"What did she do?" Apple Jack demanded. "And what happened to my sister?"

"Solar Flare... Twilight... They were killing the poor foals of Equestria! How could they? Twilight was really foolish for joining forces with the evil villainess!"

"Oh, no! Hope Apple Bloom's okay..."

"No, not Scootaloo! She's my close friend. Whatever Twilight is doing could be immoral, and she needs to stop before it's too late," Rainbow Dash exclaimed in shock.

"Oh, no! How depressing and evil," Pinkie agreed with a huge frown as her eyes widened with sadness.

"Twilight needs to get her mind straight," Discord confided. "I can't believe this! How wicked and cruel... What was she thinking?"

"I know, right? I don't want to be Twilight's assistant! I'm assisting Midnight Glitter from now on," Spike concluded.

"Thanks for the offer, but we have to find Rarity quick. We don't have much time," Midnight told him.

They all ran into Ponyville, and entered the Carousel Boutique.

Author's note: I finally got this up. I know you're going to hate Twilight for her heinous crimes, but this was meant as a plot twist. I wonder how Luna would react to such immorality. Read and review.
