Luna continued to follow the creature as they both flew above the Canterlot roof tops. The creature scours the city like it was looking for something, after a while the creature growls and lands on some mansion roof; punching and destroying the chimney stack in anger.

Luna lands, unsure of what has angered the creature.

“Are you ok? What's wrong?” Luna asks.

The creature rounds on Luna and goes to grab her in rage, but it stops and growls. The creature then proceeds to stand on the edge of the roof looking out, but without a face Luna can't gauge the creatures expression.

“Tell me what's wrong, Please!” Luna steps forward so she's well within the creatures field of vision. “Why are you so angry?”

The creature looks towards her before replying. “Can't. Locate. Sisters.” The creature points to an area of the city. “Can. Feel. Close. But. Magic. Fading.”

Luna looks to were the creature is pointing. “That's the industrial district, it's where most of the factories and warehouses are located.” Luna states.

“Somewhere. There. Sisters. Hurt.” The creature lowers it's hand. “Can't. Locate.” The creature sits down on the roofs tiles and holds its head in it's hands.

Luna approaches the creature, her expression more confused than worried.

“May I ask? How can you sense that they are hurt?”

The creature looks up. “Sisters. Magic. Can. Sense.” The creature stands up and walks to Luna, it grabs her horn and causes her to cry out. “Make. You. See.” The creatures hand brightens and Luna feels magic course through her horn. After several moments the creature lets go. “You. Now. Sense.”

Luna opens her eye's, to her astonishment all of the city has changed into a flowing white haze. Many different colours moving about inside.

“What is this? Is...Is this how you see?”

“Yes.”

“It's strange. What is all this mist?” Luna asks.

“Magic.” The creature replies flatly.

Luna looks down as a frown crosses her face, as she tries to understand. Then it comes to her, a realisation that lingers for a while before she replies.

“Y-You see magic don't you? Magic in its raw form, that's how you view Equestria?”

“Yes.”

“I...I don't want to anymore , please give me back my natural vision.”

The creature complies by touching Luna's horn, this time gently and not forceful. Again after a few moments of the magic being removed, Luna opens her yes to see the world again in her normal sight. Luna sighs.

“That was-” The creature cuts Luna off by putting it's hand over her muzzle.

The creature walks away, almost as if it can hear something.

“What's wrong? Can you sense something?” The creature nods. “Your sisters?” The creature nods again before taking off towards the industrial district.

Celestia had been flying for over an hour trying to find Luna, she was getting worried. A dark blue alicorn flying across the city in broad daylight you would think would be easy to spot, that is not the case. Celestia sighs and lands on a nearby roof top.

“Sister, where are you?” Celestia whispers looking across the cityscape.

“Princess?”

Celestia turns around to see a pegasi guard flying towards her. The guard was out of breath like he had spent all day flying.

“Guard.” Celestia replies bowing her head slightly.

“Princess, why are you out here? I...I mean....Alone?” The guard bows.

“What is your name?” Celestia asks.

“Glider, Guard Glider; your majesty.”

“Well Guard Glider, I seek my sister. She took off after a friend of ours changed.”

“John.” The guard replies.

Celestia looks at the guard with a raised eyebrow. “You know John?”

“Yes princess, we had drinks together last night. He's my friend.”

“Then it's a pleasure to meet you Glider, it's always nice to see that John Is making new friends.”

“Yes, princess he is fascinating to say the least.”

“Is there a reason Guard Glider, that you have found me?” Celestia asks, changing the subject.

“Yes, I was on my way to the castle when I spotted you flying princess. I think we have located the mares we are looking for.”

“You have where?”

“In the Industrial District, an old defector of one of the gangs there have told us he saw several ponies enter a warehouse carrying the unconscious forms of two mares matching the descriptions.”

“Then take me there Guard Glider, quickly.”

“Yes princess!” The guard salutes and takes off, Celestia not far behind.

Luna tries her best to keep up with the creature, its speed was impressive. When the creature gets to the district, it just stops. The creature hovers looking down, or what Luna could think that's what it was doing. The creature looks back and points down.

“Sisters. Down. Building.”

Luna follows the creatures hand and spots a warehouse three stories high, several ponies were moving about on the roof. Luna looks to the nearby streets and spots various Royal Guard at barricades, completely surrounding the warehouse.

“You maybe right, the guard have the place surrounded. Maybe we should let them handle this.” Luna says looking to the creature. The creature was not listening, it was just staring at the building. The light in it's body getting brighter. A scream is heard from the warehouse, a mares scream. The light from the creature suddenly gets really bright as the creature screeches and launches at the ground.

“Wait!” Luna shouts holding out her hoof, but it was too late. The creature impacted the ground causing a crater to appear below it.

“This is manure Flare, we should be in there busting heads.” Swift Wing says, several guards nearby nod their agreement.

“We can't Swift, we have to wait for orders. Look I don't like it either, this group has been taking mares for years and now we have them we can't move. I'm angry as much as you but we are guard. We have rules.” Flare replies.

“I guess your right, but it's just...” Swift Wing turns away. “Ugh! I want to save them, I just want this gang gone; you know.”

“Yeah I understand Swift, but we have a job to do. Don't let yourself get distracted.”

“Yeah, I won't. Thanks man.”

“Don't mention it.”

A few seconds later a scream is heard from the warehouse, many of the guard tense up. Solar Flare and the rest look up as a high pitched scream is heard above them. Flare spots two figures flying above one dark blue and oddly familiar, the other was glowing so bright it was hard to make out. That was until the glowing figure plummeted and smashed into the ground ten meters in front of him.

“What the buck is that!?” A guard shouts beside Flare.

The glowing figure was in a kneeling position, probably to absorb the impact at that speed. The figure slowly rises. Its back turned to the guards. The creature slowly turns to look at the guards, Solar Flare feels all the guards around him tense.

“They will not harm you!” A voice shouts from above. “Guards, lower your weapons!”

The guards all look up and see the blue figure descending, they all bow when Princess Luna lands before them. The guard officer in charge walks up and bows before the princess.

“Lieutenant, your men are not to harm this creature.” Luna gestures to the creature made of light, Flare notices that the creature has turned back to the warehouse. “This creature is a friend. Am I understood.”

“Yes princess.” The guard replies. “Men! Lower your weapons!” The guard including Solar Flare and Swift Wing, sheath their weapons.

Another scream is heard and before anypony can react the creature roars and charges the warehouse. Even some of the ponies on the roof of the building are too afraid to move, but some seem to have a little bravery as they fire make shift arrows and crossbow bolts at the creature. The creature just bats away the arrows and bolts as if they were nothing. Several seconds later it crashes through a warehouse wall, followed swiftly by screaming rapidly cut off.

“Princess? What was that creature?” The guard lieutenant asks.

“It's a friend, his name is John.” Luna replies.

Solar Flare and Swift Wing look at one another, Flare steps forward.

“Princess?” Luna looks to Flare.

“Yes guard?”

“I'm sorry to ask but, did you say the creature was called John? As in the human John?” Flare asks with his head bowed.

“Yes I did. Why? Do you know him?” Luna walks to stand before Flare.

“I do your highness, he went to the entertainment district with me and my friends last night.”

“Ah, so you are his friends?” Luna asks turning to look at the warehouse, screaming is still coming from the building.

“Newly created friendship, yes princess. John was strange at first but we have found him to be a kindred spirit to us. You could say we saw ourselves in him.”

Luna smiles. “Then I am honoured to meet the friends of John.” Luna bows her head.

Solar Flare was about to reply when another voice called from the sky, this time there was no mistaking it.

“Sister!”

Luna looks around as Celestia flies down towards her.

“Sister! What have you done!?” Celestia looks to the warehouse as more screaming is heard. “Where is John?”

“John is inside sister, he is performing his duty.” Luna replies.

“Performing his duty? He is murdering ponies!”

“No! He is doing what he is meant to do! He is dispensing justice to the one's that hurt our subjects.” Luna walks to the barriers edge. “He is becoming the leader I knew he would be.”

“But he isn't John, he is something else. How do you know he will remember all this?” Celestia asks, moving beside Luna.

“Princess, if I may answer that?” Solar Flare steps forward.

“Guard?” Celestia says, turning to face Flare.

“Princess, I haven't known John for very long but from what I saw last night; he is a good stallion. He maybe a little crazy and sometimes unsure of himself, but he is one of the first friends I have made that I haven't grew up with. I think John will come out of this fine, we just need to be there for him.”

“Thank you Guard Flare, your input is appreciated.” Luna says. “See sister even this guard knows Johns worth, why can't you?”

“I see his worth Luna, but I don't want him to abuse his position or turn evil because of it.”

“You mean like I did.” Luna states.

Celestia sighs. “I will bow to your judgement on this my sister but please...” Celestia puts a wing over Luna's shoulder. “...Don't make me regret it.”

“I won't sister, I promise.” Luna returns Celestias wing hug.

The sisters share a moment of bonding only for it to be shattered by a loud screech and a chunk of the warehouse blasting off in a beam of bright light.

“What was that?” Swift Wing says, after the ground stops shaking.

“Guards stay here! Don't move until I give the signal.” Luna shouts as she steps past the barricade and towards the warehouse.

“Luna! Where are you going?” Celestia asks.

“I have to help John sister, I have to know he's alright. Don't worry I will be fine.”

“I...I will wait for you back at the castle, be careful Luna.”

“I will sister.” Luna gallops into the warehouse building and disappears from sight.

Celestia walks away and turns to the lieutenant.

“Lieutenant, you are not to enter the building until Princess Luna says it's ok.”

“Yes your highness, I understand.” The lieutenant says as he bows.

Celestia flaps her wings and takes off, just before she charges her teleportation spell Celestia looks back.

“I trust you sister.” Celestia activates her horn and vanishes.

Luna leaves her sister behind and gallops into the warehouse, through the hole the creature made. Luna stops and covers her mouth, holding back the urge to vomit. The stench of burning flesh and chard remains hit Luna like a she hit a brick wall. Luna slowly makes her way passed the dead ponies, there was...Luna couldn't tell how many, Her eyes darted back and forth between the body parts and some ponies that still remained somewhat whole.

“John.” Luna whispers to herself, half realising that most of this was her fault. The blood was partially on her hooves. Luna holds out her hoof she used to cover her mouth, her face softened as blood was not literately on her hoof.

Luna casts her eyes back over the scene of destruction, that was until a scream is sounded above her. Luna looks left and right and spots a door leading to a set of stairs. Dead ponies are lying on the stairs as Luna slowly makes her way around them. Luna sees the scorch marks and blood coating the stairs and nearby walls, the smell gets too much and Luna conjures two plugs for her nose.

Luna inches her way up the stairs listening for the scream again, she was certain it was a mares scream and not a stallions. The top of the stairs comes into view and Luna lowers her body so she is less of a target. The scream was heard again followed by faint words.

“Don't touch her! Leave her alone!”

Luna hugs the nearest wall, which was surprisingly free of blood. Luna finds a door blown open, she slowly pokes her head around the corner and her eyes go wide. The creature was standing over two ponies, one was lying on the floor unmoving and one was lying over her crying. The second mare seemed to be protecting the unconscious mare.

“Leave us alone!” The mare shouts. “Don't hurt us!”

“I. Not. Hurt. Family!” The creature replies.

“Family? What family?” The mare asks, looking up at the creature.

The creature holds out it's hand and splays out it's fingers. The mare slowly rises up and looks at the creatures hand with confusion. The mare looks at her hoof and raises it up to meet the creatures hand. The mares hoof touches the hand and the fingers close around it, the mare looks at the creature then at her hoof before her face comes to a conclusion.

“John?” The mare asks. “I-Is that you?”

“Sister.” The creature replies.

“John!” The mare shouts as she virtually jumps into it's arms, the mare nuzzles the creatures neck. “How? Why?” The mare asks, reaching up and poking the creatures face.

The creature suddenly drops the mare and grabs it's head. Luna rushes forward and yanks the mare away, mere seconds before the creature drives it's fist into the floor causing it to crack.

“Princess Luna!” The mare cries out.

“Can you help your friend?” Luna asks her.

“What?”

“Can you get your friend out, it's not safe.”

“I-I can try, but i'm not strong!” The mare replies.

“I will help.” Luna Says lifting up the unconscious mare and draping her over the mares back. “Go! You must, before he explodes.”

“Explodes!?” The mare shouts.

“Yes, go!” Luna flares her magic and the mare and her companion vanishes.

The creature lifts itself back to it's feet, the creatures body glowing brightly as it seems to look for the mares.

“John!” Luna shouts.

Before Luna could react the creature appears before her, it teleported Luna thinks to herself; about three seconds before the creature grabs her throat. Luna is lifted off her feet, again.

“WHERE! FAMILY!?”

“John! Calm down! Please!” Luna says.

The creature looks at Luna for a few minutes before grabbing her horn.

“John! No! Please!” Luna shouts, fear crossing her face.

In one movement the creature breaks Luna's horn, the creature lets her go and holds her horn in it's hand. Luna screams. The creature looks to the horn then to Luna, then back to the horn. The creature suddenly lunges forward and tries to put the horn back.

“No! No! No!” Luna notices the creature was speaking normally. “Luna! No!”

“John?” Luna says almost passing out.

“Luna! What have I done?”

“John, your back.”

“I can't put it back Luna! Tell me what to do!”

“You can't John, it's broken. It has to grow back but it will take weeks.” Luna smiles at the creature, though it was still glowing; John seemed to have gained control. “Don't be sad John, it doesn't hurt any more.”

“Princess, don't fall asleep! I'll get help!” John replies, picking up Luna.

“John...” Luna passes out.

I shake Luna as she passes out. “Luna wake up!” I look to my hand, it was glowing. “Oh Fuck, what have I done!” I close my eyes and focus to calm myself. I open my eyes and see my hand slowly return to normal. I feel my whole body lose it's strength, it was like all my energy was just sucked away.

I drop Luna from my grasp and collapse next to her. I find that I have just enough magic left for one final movement. I point a finger at Luna and charge the last of my magic into the tip, it wasn't much but I couldn't use it; not in my state. I touch Luna on the snout, it was the only place I could reach with my muscles refusing to comply.

The magic passes from my finger into Luna, at first I thought nothing happened. That was until Luna opened her eyes.

“Wha-” Luna looks around. “Where am I?” Luna's eyes fall on me. “John! What did you do?”

“I....Used...The last....Of...My....Magic.” I say, barely keeping my eyes open.

“No John! Why? In your state using your magic up, can kill you!” Luna crawls to me. Luna holds out her hoof. “John please take it! You need magic.”

“No!” I swat away her hand, regretting the motion two seconds later. “I don't know what I did tonight but I...” My body spasms. “...Can't be what you want me to be.” I look to Luna as she crawls closer, I feel a hoof place on my shoulder. “Just tell Applejack I.....Love her.”

My whole body goes limp. The last thing I see is Luna pressing her broken horn against my head.
