The next day Twilight woke up to find Clare gone making her look around till she spotted a note left on the coffee stand.

[Dear Twilight,

I just stepped out to get a box of donuts from your friend Joe this morning, you looked really tired so I didn't want to wake you. I should be back in a little while so do not worry.

Clare.]

Just as Twilight set the letter down she saw the door open and Clare come in with a bag of donuts along with Spike and Gilda.

"Good morning my mare." Clare chirped holding the bag with her magic as she trotted over her and gave a shy nuzzle.

"Good morning Clare I'm glad that you went out to get some food, looks like I got you addicted to Joe's." She giggled as Spike walked up to her bed with Gilda as everything turned serious.

"Report." Twilight ordered.

"I checked all of the fronts and it looks like a lot have gone soft, I recommend replacing them all with veterans of the take over war. They know their jobs and what is expected of them more than these up and comers." Spike stated as she nodded.

"Very well I'll see to it that it's taken care of when we get home." Twilight said as they all missed the knowing smile of Clare.

"There's more boss." Gilda came forward as Twilight pulled out a cigar offering one to Clare who shook her head.

"Continue." Gilda cleared her throat knowing this was going to upset her.

"We ran into an element yesterday." Twilight growled making Gilda sigh.

"Which one?"

"Generosity."

"Damnit! Knowing that walking gossip bitch all of Equestria will know by lunch that I'm here." Twilight looked over at Clare who was smiling before she started to laugh at the filled cheeks of her lover.

"What? We are hungry do not judge us!" The group smiled as the tension broke in the room while Twilight couldn't help but giggle.

"Looks like I got you addicted love." Twilight smiled as Clare smiled.

"Tis true you will be the death of me before long my mare if thou keeps this up." Clare winked as Twilight shook her head.

"So give me the run down Spike with the element." Twilight said as he nodded.

(Flashback)

Spike sighed as he exited another front rubbing his fist licking the blood off his hand while his eyes glowed green.

'They all have become weak here, just like I feared.' He thought growling a little when two claws went over his eyes making him smile before quickly turning grabbing the griffon by the waist hearing a surprised squeak from her.

"Hello dear." He growled feeling her shiver in his strong grip.

"Hey babe, are you finished for the night?" She asked getting a tired sigh.

"Yeah that was the last one, I have to say I knew that this would happen. I'm gonna talk to mom once we get home about having a 6 month rotation so that this won't happen again." He said as Gilda nodded.

"Well come on lets go get something to eat and then we'll go have some alone time at the hotel." Gilda stated slyly as a spark went through his eyes.

"Hmm you know I think I know just the thing to make you scream my name all during the night." He smirked loving the little moan she let out.

"Tease."

"And you love every second of it." He laughed setting her back down as he took her to his favorite spot in Equestria, Pony Joe's.

"Spike?" The turned to see a white mare with three diamonds on her flanks making the two groan.

"What do you want Rarity?" Spike sighed as she sputtered while trotting up to them as Gilda looked ready to rip her apart.

"Is that anyway to treat a friend Spike?" She asked as Gilda snorted.

"Yeah some friend you are, play with his emotions, use him since he has feelings for you and then throw him away when he doesn't go along with your plans. Yeah real friendly like." Gilda snarled as the mare glared at her.

"I would never do such a thing to my little Spikey Wikey" She huffed only to feel pain in her cheek as the sound of a slap rang in the air. Rarity slowly turned to see that it was SPIKE who had slapped her as tears welled up in her eyes.

"Spike."

"You can lie to others Rarity but don't lie to me and my wife. I knew that you were using me but I was too blinded in what I thought was love to notice and you would have let it continue unhindered for as long as you could till you got bored of me. You should have just told me how you felt instead waving a gem in my face and making promises." He snarled as she shrank back into herself holding her face where it was red.

"And don't you ever call him that degrading name again bitch, he's mine you lost your chance years ago when you betrayed him and his mother. Some element of generosity you are, I hope that you are alone for the rest of your life after what you did to those two." Gilda growled flying up and wrapping her arms around Spike hearing the mare gasp.

"So you really do hate us Spike?" Rarity asked as the two looked at her.

"With a fiery passion, you have know idea how much I would love to have you back home so I can have my own FUN carving you up after everything that's happened to me." Rarity seemed to go paler as she backed up while Gilda landed and they both took a step towards her.

"In fact I may take you now and just save you for later." His voice deepened as Rarity squeaked and flashed away as the two grinned.

"Stupid bitch. I dare her to look at you wrong again, I saw her eye you like a piece of meat." Glida snarled before moaning as he ran his claws down her back.

"And I'll gladly let you have her dear, but for now let's get some food I'm starving."

(End Flashback)

Twilight sighed while Clare looked a little worried before Twilight pulled her closer to her.

"It's ok hun I'll handle them if they become a problem." Twilight said as Clare looked over at her.

"What will you do. I don't want you to get in trouble Twilight." She said getting a smile from Twilight.

"Just scare them a little bit I have a feeling once she gets back to Ponyville they'll all come running." Twilight looked over at Spike and smiled.

"Come on lets head to Starlights house. I still need to see if I can salvage this family relationship." She sighed getting a groan from him.

"Ok but don't expect me to be nice." He growled as they all nodded while Clare gave a nervous look to them.

As the group made their way down the road they saw Shining walk out the door and spotted her and glared at her coming towards them.

"I hope you're happy Twilight mom has been crying since you left yesterday after that little stunt of yours." Twilight smiled walking past him as Spike shoved him out out of the way.

"Good she should after everything that has happened. But I'll be nice today if only to show that I can put this behind us if she can admit that she was wrong for what she did. I may forgive Shining but I don't forget." She smirked as she pushed open the door to see Starlight nursing a cup of tea as she looked up at Twilight and then back down at the coffee.

"I'm sorry Twilight, I didn't mean to insult you yesterday. I just didn't know what to say and I just made it worse by trying to ignore what was happened." Starlight sighed feeling the glare from her daughter.

"What are you sorry about? Condemning me to death or serving me tea after not seeing me for a decade?" Twilight asked as she looked at Spike and the others nodding to the door.

"Give us a minute ok? Take Clare to Joes and see the sights, I need to be alone for this." Spike looked unsure about this but nodded ushering the girls out while he stopped Shining at the door.

"You heard her, they need to be alone. If you think I'm going to let you stay and outnumber her you got another thing coming. Why don't you go check on your old friends in the barracks while they talk." Spike ordered while he looked at his mother who nodded.

Once they were all out just as Nightlight walked in and took a seat as Twilight glared at him.

"Father." She nodded while at the same time trying to see if she could crush his head with her eyes alone.

"Twilight." He replied while he held a glare of his own as Starlight looked between the two.

"Please lets be civil about this." She begged as Twilight took a seat and put her hooves in front of her face.

"Of course. So you still haven't answered my question Starlight." Twilight stated looking over at her as she looked down while her father growled making Twilight shoot him a dirty look.

"You have no right to be angry with me old stallion, if we were anywhere else you'd be dead and rotting for what you did to me and Spike." She snarled as he snorted.

"But we aren't and you have no power here little filly, I know that you're the boss of some mob family so don't think that your word is law where ever you go. This is my house and you will-

"You think I give a flying fuck if this is your home? While if it was anyone elses home I would respect them but when it comes to the likes of you two I could give a damn about what you expect from me in your home. I expected you to stand by me as my mother and father 10 years ago but lay down for the sun bitch no matter what she says." Twilight said with a straight face looking over her hooves.

"Then maybe you should-

"Leave? Trust me I would love to but I promised someone very special that I would try to make this work. Now shut up and sit down." Her tone was even and left no room for argument as the stallion sat down still glaring at her as she turned to Starlight.

"I'm waiting Starlight." The mare in question blinked before looking down at her tea again.

"For all of it. I'm so sorry sweetie but even after you came to us that day I just thought that you were jealous of Cadence like she was taking your brother away. So we just blew you off thinking you would get over it." She said as Twilight stared at her.

"I wasn't jealous of Cadence Starlight, I was happy that my brother was getting married but I was pissed that he waited till the wedding to tell me that he was even seeing someone. I would have thought that one of you would have at least told me what was going on. We did after all write to each other every weekend about what had been going on in our lives." She looked over at her father who was still glaring at her making her smile.

"But I should have known that once I was out of the house and out of your manes then you wouldn't have to worry about little old Twilight anymore and now you could focus on your careers and what noble you could suck up to, to get ahead in life." Night growled as she looked at him with a furrowed brow.

"You never wrote me and mom just kept saying the same thing in her letters like I was bothering her trying to stay connected to the family. Maybe now I can see why it was so easy for you to just let Celestia do what she did and not even bat an eyelash." He looked away as she grunted and looked at her mother.

"So did you really cry for me or was that a little show for Cadence to show that you missed your little baby girl?" She asked as Starlight looked at her shocked.

"Of course I missed you Twilight you're my daughter!" She yelled sounding hurt as Twilight got up slamming her hooves on the table cracking the wood.

"THEN WHERE WERE YOU DURING MY TRIAL!!!!?? WHERE WAS MY FAMILY WHEN I NEEDED YOU THE MOST WHILE SOME BUG WAS SUCKING MY BROTHER DRY OF ALL HIS LOVE!!??" She screamed tears budding in her eyes.

"WHAT WOULD YOU HAVE US DO TWILIGHT!!?? CELESTIA'S WORD IS LAW WHAT COULD WE DO TO SAVE YOU!!!???" Starlight yelled back standing up knocking her chair back.

"I EXPECTED YOU TO BE THERE AND HAVE MY BACK LIKE A NORMAL FAMILY AND BE IN MY CORNER AT LEAST PLEAD MY CASE BUT YOU JUST SAT THERE AND LET IT HAPPEN!!" Twilight shouted back tears going down her face as she glared at her parents.

"Do you have any idea what it was like for us!? Spike still has nightmares from when I was first was raped because he could do NOTHING but watch at the mare he saw as his mother violently raped in front of him multiple times. Do you know what that does to a child's mind seeing that kind of thing?" She asked as her eyes shown an icy blue as they froze.

"Of course you don't because you live in the peaceful land of Equestria. You can never understand what it's like to be raped, beaten, and killing to survive. You are pathetic." She growled pulling her chair back up and sitting down letting out a sigh.

"I hate you both so much and I know that will never change. I can never forgive you for what you didn't do that day and what it led to." She said wiping her eyes and looked over at the two.

"Even if I was still exiled it would have been nice to just know that you cared and loved me enough to go against Celestia. But you didn't and now here we are me hating all of you and would love nothing more than to have you all drop dead at my hooves." Twilight sighed as she got up as her parents watched her.

"Where are you going?" Nightlight asked as she looked back at him with a piercing gaze that seemed to look into his soul before opening the door about to walk out as Starlight sobbed.

" You're right Twilight we should have been there for you, it's what normal parents would have done but we didn't. We thought of our own image and what others thought of us if we did and it cost us your trust and love. I'm so sorry Twilight I wish I could take it all back and just have you home instead of having to go through what you have. Nopony should ever have to go through what you did and it's all our fault." She sobbed while Twilight paused at the door and looked at her with her own tears.

"You're right, it is." She stated her voice sounding hollow as she walked out the door and into the night just as Clare and everyone were coming down the road.

"Come Twilight let's go back to the hotel I know you have had a trying day." Clare nuzzled her leading the way to the hotel as Shining went to go check on his parents.

The walk to the hotel was a silent one as they made it to their rooms without a word. Twilight took a shower and walked around the room to see Clare looking up at the moon before she turned and gave a worried smile to Twilight.

"Art thee alright my mare?" She asked as Twilight sighed.

"I just want to go home Clare, I want to be with my children and be with my family. I hate being here and I think it's only making it worse and knowing that my former friends are surely on their way to try and make up with me just makes me want to leave earlier." She sighed leaning into Clare who was blushing heavily.

"I'm glad I have you here Clare, I don't know if I can do this alone." She nuzzled her before Clare gently pushed her away getting a confused look from Twilight before she nodded to the bed.

"Lets get some sleep Twilight I know you're tired today and I don't want you to be tired when you see your parents again." She said wagging her eyebrows making Twilight blush.

"Yeah I have a long day ahead of me but I'll make it up to you love. I know this is killing you as well with me being angry all the time." Twilight looked over at Clare who was smiling.

"We understand Twilight, tis a matter of family but don't push your friends away when they show up. You should at least give them a chance." Clare stated as Twilight glared at her.

"Why should I? They abandoned me not the other way around Clare." Twilight growled getting a nod from Clare.

"I know Twilight but you may be surprised for what they did to you, just give them a chance for me please. You know what it's like to have no friends and they were your best friends almost sisters to you if what you told me was true." Clare stated as Twilight sighed.

"I'll think about it Clare but no promises."

"That's all I ask." She smiled before she was pulled into a searing kiss giving a shriek of surprise before a moan escaped her as Twilight pulled away with a giggle.

"You act like that was your first kiss I gave you." Twilight smiled as the dazed mare had a stupid smile on her face.

"Taste like candy." She mumbled getting a laugh from Twilight breaking her out of her trance as a huge blush went across her face.

" Come on lets go to bed." Twilight said nudging the mare to the bed.

"No you go ahead my mare I wish to stay up for a little longer." She said heading to the balcony as Twilight looked at her confused but shrugged and climbed into bed.

Twilight smiled a little as she watched Shining and her father mess around in the yard while she drank some tea with her mother. Over the last week they had been able to come to terms with what had happened and now at least they were civil with each other. Next to her were Spike and Clare while Gilda was patrolling the grounds.

Though they were civil Twilight's hate for her parents was still a roaring flame but it was no longer the inferno that was there. It would take time but slowly they were mending the fences to their broken relationship.

"Twilly help!!" Shining called as she smiled and giggled.

"Oh no you're the one that challenged him not me! You got your own self into that mess." She giggled as her father pinned him to the ground as Twilight laughed along with her mother and family as Starlight looked over at her smiling.

"Twilight would it be alright if we threw you a party this weekend? I know it's sudden but I want to make it official to welcome you home even if you won't be staying, I understand the needs of you people but I want to have one before you go." She asked as Twilight thought for a second and looked over at Spike and Clare.

"What do you think?" Twilight asked as Spike sighed.

"If it makes you happy mom that's all that matters to me." He stated as she smiled before looking at Clare who was deep in thought.

"I think it would be nice and you could have some fun with your family like old times. We say go for it." Clare smiled as Twilight smiled and looked at her mother.

"You heard them, so what time do you need us here?" She asked as Starlight thought for a second.

"I'd say around 7 but Twilight I have to tell you that your friends will mostly be here. I got a letter from them asking if they could see you and I thought it was good for you and maybe work it out with them." She stated as Twilight growled a little before Clare put her hoof on her shoulder as Twilight looked back seeing her pleading face making her sigh.

"Very well. But as I told you before I make no promises, when are they due to arrive?" She asked as Starlight smiled.

"Tomorrow is when their train comes in would you like me to send them to you or would you like to meet them here?" She asked as Twilight sighed.

"Here please, I don't think that the hotel manager would like screaming in his hotel." She sighed getting a nod from her mother.

"Very well I'll be sure to have Shiny take them here so you girls can talk." She said getting a nod from Twilight.

"Thanks and could you stay inside while I talk with them?" She asked getting a nod from her mother.

"Of course dear." Star said looking over at the boys and smirked getting one in return.

Twilight leaned into Clare letting out a sigh as she pulled away and smiled at her pointing to her drink that was empty.

"Hold that thought dear, I'm really thirsty and I might as well fill yours up as well while I'm in the kitchen." She stated getting a smile from Twilight just as Gilda came around the corner and bit Spikes shoulder making him grunt.

"Hello love." He smiled watching Clare head inside while Twilight let out a sigh.

"What is it dear?" Starlight asked.

"Nothing to worry about it's just that Clare seems to be distant from me lately." She said as Starlight patted her hoof.

"I'm sure it's nothing dear, Clare I'm sure is overwhelmed from all the drama that's been going on lately so just give her some space dear." She smiled as Twilight nodded.

"I guess." She sighed as Clare came back out with two cups in a midnight blue magical grip.

"Here you are my mare." She smiled setting the cup down as Twilight gave her a smile.

"Thanks love." Twilight said as the mare sat in her lap making her giggle at her.

"OOF! Clare you're squishing me!" Twilight panted.

"Are you saying we are fat?!" Clare growled as Twilight leaned up nipping her back making her yelp.

"No but you do need to shift to the right love your tailbone is killing my leg." She wheezed as Clare smiled and bounced.

"We think we like this spot here." She huffed as Starlight giggled before Clare yelped again as Twilight used her magic to grab her head and pull her down into a searing kiss as Clare turned and straddled her waist and moaned into the mare.

"You are such a tease my mare." Clare panted as they pulled back as Nightlight cleared his throat.

"None of that on the furniture Twilight, not even me and your mother do that." He said as Twilight sighed.

"Well I think I'm going to head on over to get something to eat, do you guys want anything while I'm out?" She asked as they shook their heads.

"No thank you dear but it's sweet of you to offer." Starlight said as Shining came up to them panting.

"I'm good to Twilly but I'll see you tomorrow right? If I don't then I'm still in my meeting with the princess." He stated looking over at Twilight who was giving him a glare before he raised his hooves in surrender.

"Don't worry Twi, I'm not telling her you're here I'm just going over some of the guard formations and seeing where we can cut our losses at." He said as she nodded as they left.

Morning came too soon for Twilight as she made her way down the road coming to her parents house and headed into the back yard where she sat down at the table and waited for her so called friends to show up.

She didn't have to wait long when she got a devious smile and dropped the spell that hid her scars from the world just as they rounded the corner and froze seeing her there looking at them with a deadly glare looking over her hooves.

"Take a seat." She ordered as they shuffled over never taking their eyes off her body.

"Um hey Twilight." Rainbow started as she glared at her.

"Loyalty." She nodded as the mare flinched.

"Listen Twilight ah know that no matter what we say we can never make it up to you with how were acted to you that day but I want to be the first to say ah'm a might sorry for how I was to you." Applejack stated taking her hat off and putting it over her chest while looking down in shame.

"I have to agree darling, I'm so sorry for how uncouth I was that day and so very unlady like to my friend when you needed us the most." Rarity sighed taking a seat but couldn't help but stare at the scarred body of the other mare.

"We really are sorry Twilight, and I wish we could take back what we did that day but the fact is that we abandoned you when you needed us and that was not very fun for me when I realized what we just did." Pinkie said as tears looking at Twilight's body.

" We really are sorry Twilight, oh I know that we can never make it up to you after all this time and I know that you're angry at us for abandoning you but if we could I know we would take it back if we could." Fluttershy sobbed looking down unable to look Twilight in the eyes.

"We know what we did we very uncool and I left a friend hanging that day and it cost us 10 years and so much has changed for you and I just don't know what we could do to make it up to you." Dash sighed sitting in a chair as Twilight stared at them thinking.

"You're right, nothing you can say will make me forgive you after everything that's happened that day and quite frankly I hate every last one of you for leaving me at the gallows." She growled as Fluttershy burst into tears while Pinkies mane went flat while the others looked down before Dash shot up glaring at Twilight.

"HEY! WE SAID WE WERE SORRY WHAT MORE DO YOU WANT FROM US TWILIGHT?!" She yelled as Twilight growled.

"HOW ABOUT 10 YEARS SUFFERING IN A HELL HOLE. HOW ABOUT THAT DASH? CAN YOU GIVE ME MY LIFE BACK AFTER A DECADE OF SUFFERING? WHAT DID YOU EXPECT FROM ME? JUST BECAUSE YOU SAID SORRY THAT MAKES IT ALL BETTER?!" Twilight screamed up at the pegasus knocking her chair back and moved where they could see her more making them go wide eyed.

"CAN YOU GIVE MY INNOCENCE BACK DASH HUH?! WHAT ABOUT SPIKES HUH?! WHO THE FUCK DO YOU THINK YOU ARE GETTING ANGRY WHEN YOU HAVE NO RIGHT TO BE MAD AFTER WHAT HAS HAPPENED TO MY FAMILY!" She screamed tears in her eyes along with the rest of the girls before Dash tackled Twilight with a cry of rage and sorrow.

The two rolled over the grass as the others ran to them.

"Rainbow STOP!" Applejack yelled only for the pegasus to be slammed into the ground with Twilight glaring down at her.

"What are you so pissed about?! Can't come back with some clever remark or because you know it's true?" She asked down at the struggling pegasus who was gagging for air.

"Twilight let her up now, you're going to kill her!" Applejack yelled running to separate the two only for her to be picked up with magic and slammed into a tree and fell to the ground moaning.

"Maybe I do want to kill her! I'm sure it would make me feel a whole lot better after what you've done to my family!" She screamed only to be hit by a pink missile.

"Leave Dashie WHAA!" Pinkie yelled from on top of Twilight only for the mare grab her mane and thrust up on her body slamming Pinkie into the ground dazing her only for a hoof to slam into her face knocking her back and looked to see Rarity in her martial arts stance glaring at her.

"I won't let you hurt my friends Twilight!" She yelled as Twilight wiped the blood from her mouth.

"You sure? You let it happen without batting a eyelash when it happened to me and Spike." She shot back as Rarity growled and charged only to have a spin kick to the face knocking her back as Twilight turned glaring at Fluttershy who squeaked and shrank in herself as the other limped away from Twilight.

"This just proves that you can't even accept your guilt after this! You're pathetic! I give you a chance to make right and you attack me?! Fuck you and whatever we had if it wasn't over before then it is now! Get the fuck out of my face!" She screamed tears in her eyes as they looked down in shame leaving but Fluttershy who was to scared to even move.

"Fluttershy." Twilight called as the little pegasus meeped when she felt herself picked up and then felt herself set down in the grass and looked up to see Twilight looking down at her getting another squeal from her.

"Fluttershy tell me the truth, do you really mean what you said?" She asked as the mare shot up and looked into her eyes nodding.

"Of course Twilight and I know that the others do as well they are just to proud to admit how much we wronged you especially Rainbow since she doesn't know how to really show her emotions, you know how Dash is Twilight." Fluttershy said as Twilight sat down next to the mare.

"Twilight?"

"Hm?"

"Can you tell me about your time away and how you got these scars?"She asked while Twilight looked over at her.

"You sure Shy it's not a very nice story." Twilight warned but the shy pegasus nodded determined to hear her story.

"Very well. When we arrived at the city....

(3 hours later)

Fluttershy along with the rest of her friends that came back for Fluttershy sat looking down in shame as they heard about Twilight's life in the last decade.

"Twilight I..." Dash started till Pinkie jumped grabbed Twilight in a tight hug.

"I'M SORRY TWILIGHT!!!!" Twilight grunted before the rest of the girls pulled her into a group hug as the purple mare let out a sob and held onto them as she started to cry.

"Get off." She weakly tried to push them off as they held her tighter.

"Ah'm so sorry sugarcube! Ah'm so sorry!" Applejack sobbed holding them mare to her as tears ran down Twilight's face.

"Stop it." Twilight cried trying to shake them off.

"I'm so sorry darling!" Rarity held her in a iron grip as the purple mare wiped her face.

"No I hate you all get off." She tried again to get them off as her walls started to crumble before Rainbow slammed into her wailing and hiccuping.

"I'm sorry TWILIGHT, I'm so sorry, I'm sorry!" She cried as another sob broke from Twilight.

"I hate you!" She cried crying as Fluttershy gently took her head and held it to her chest.

"We're so sorry Twilight." She gently said as the mare broke down and hugged them back.

"I hate you all so much!" She sobbed as the final walls around her heart crumbled while she held them close to her.

'This is good right?'

(That weekend)

Twilight smiled as she sat in her old room upstairs as she heard everyone downstairs happy that she had such a great success while she looked down at the locket around her neck that her griffon mother gave her.

' I wish you could see me now mom, I have them all back in my life and even if it is going to take a while the wounds are starting to heal.' She thought looking at herself in the mirror smiling at her reflection.

'This is good right?' She thought. Spike and Gilda were out getting party supplies while Clare stayed at the hotel not feeling very good but told her to go ahead and have fun with her family. She felt a little bad about leaving her but promised to bring her some cake when they came back.

Twilight smiled hearing everyone laughing downstairs when she got a great idea to scare her family and friends. Her eyes flashed blue as she sank into the floor and coming down into one of the closets that was in the kitchen hearing them talk.

"So everything is set up for when she comes down right?" Shining asked and she heard her mother hum her agreement.

"All she has to do is drink from the cup that Pinkie will give her and in about 20 minutes she'll be out like a light." Nightlight said making Twilight's eyes widen.

"Ok so everypony remembers what they're to do right? Dash you take her to the princess and then she can wipe her memory of every being exiled." Rarity said as Twilight looked through the slots in the door.

"Oh we got it Rares, once this is over she won't remember a thing that happened and we'll have her here when Discord comes knockin." AJ sighed as Pinkie bounced next to her.

"Yeah and then we can have our little bookworm and plain old Twilight back." She squealed and hugged Dash.

"You guys remember once she wakes up she was in a coma from a accident for the last ten years and lost Spike in the crash. We got to be there for her since she's going to be emotional." Dash sighed trying to push Pinkie off.

"I don't think we should be doing this." Fluttershy whimpered as they all looked at her.

"Shy you know this is the only way to get her to help us and it would take to long for her to get from the Forgotten City to here if we ever needed her. Plus Princess Celestia already has plans for her in the future." Dash sighed patting her friend as she backed away from them shaking her head.

"No. I can't do this girls, Twilight looked so happy when we finally made up with her. We have her trust as little as it might be but it's there what's to say she still wouldn't help us if we ever called for her?" Fluttershy asked as Starlight growled.

"We can't take that risk Fluttershy it's this way or nothing, no buck up and be ready for your part." She hissed as the mare backed away shaking her head.

"I-I can't do this, not again!" She shrieked and ran out the door as they all grumbled.

"Well we knew that she would get cold hooves but we have a back up." Rarity sighed looking over at Pinkie who saluted.

"I'm on it! TWILIGHT!!!" She yelled bouncing out of the room.

"So what about Twilight's little marefriend?" Rarity asked as Starlight grinned.

"Princess Celestia took her about a week ago after their first night here. Said something about making things right and had Luna pose as her." She shrugged as Twilight sank back into the wall and up in her room just as Pinkie busted open the door.

"TWILIGHT YOU'RE HOLDING UP THE PARTY!!" She cried as Twilight forced a smile.

"I'll be down in a bit just start without me, I'm going to get some air real quick since I feel a little stuffy. I'll go and take a walk around the block and be back before you know it she said beaming as the mare giggled.

"OK! Just hurry up Twi or I might eat all the cake!" She giggled and bounced out the door while Twilight made her way down the stairs and out the door breaking into a run and turning a corner running right into Spike and Gilda.

"Whoa! Mom what's the rush the party is that way!" He smiled as she looked back at the house.

"Spike I want you to take Gilda and go home. Now the party is over but I have one more thing to do before I leave and then I'll be right behind you." She said in a dead tone still looking at the house.

"Mom what's-

"THAT'S AN ORDER SOLDIER!!!" She screamed making them jump as she looked up at them making them see the tears and the hollow look in Twilight's eyes.

"Yes Don Sparkle they bowed dropping the party decoration and headed to the train station while Twilight headed to the castle.

(Four hours later)

Twilight sobbed as she held the body of her lover on an examination table like some kind of sick experiment, she had been cut open with her insides spilling out on the floor. She found a recording of the sick experiments that Celestia had conducted on her as she screamed for her to stop while at the same time she asked information on their relationship so Luna could pull it off without a hitch.

Twilight sobbed as she heard the last words from Clare making her hold the changeling closer.

"I"m so sorry Clare, I wasn't there to save you. Why didn't you wake me up, wouldn't have been mad I swear, I'm so sorry." She sobbed pushing the little recorders play button.

[Entry 45, it seems that this is the end of promising specimen.]

[Twilight. I'm sorry. I'm so sorry.] She heard Clare weakly call out.

[Even in death you call out to my former student. To bad things ended this way. End entry 45.

[Twilight.] With that the tape ended as she wiped her tears.

"I'll kill them, I'm going to kill them all Clare. I'll have my revenge on them all, only one will be spared to tell the tale.

(With Luna)

The moon was high in the sky as Princess Luna walked the halls of the castle before the smell of copper filled her nose making her blink, not because of the smell but how thick it was as she looked around the hall when she spotted one of Tia's guards helmets on the ground on the ground facing her, the bottom of it partly blocked by a plant.

'What on the moon is going on?' She asked herself walking down the hall the sounds of her hooves echo slightly disturbing her.

'Where are all the guards?'

Luna was halfway down the hall when she saw a grey hoof sticking around the corner as a guard pulled herself around the corner making Luna nearly lose her lunch.

"Princess..." She weakly called trying to crawl to her as Luna stared in horror.

"By the gods." Luna could do nothing but stare in horror at the poor soul everything from the bottom of her ribs seemed to have been ripped off while her insides trailed behind her leaving a path of blood over the former pristine white marble.

"Ugh." While in mid reaching motion to her the mare gave her last breath at Luna's hooves.

Luna was shaking badly before rage took her while a fire lit in her eyes and ran around the corner only to stop and this time losing her lunch in the plant where the former soldier came from.

Down the hall was a blood bath filled with bodies left where they fell, it looked like they hardly even fought back at all.

"What could have done this?" She asked still feeling sick as she pressed on stepping over the dead many of them were missing body parts or died in very gruesome and violent ways. She even saw charred remains of some ponies here and there making her shake.

She looked up to see a doorway that led to Tia's room and a faint light coming from it and where it seemed that the were piled the most at like that had charged the door only to be slaughtered for their efforts.

As Luna came to the pile of bodies she had to bite back the bile trying to force it's way from her throat while she used her magic to take hold of one of her night guards and pulled.

Squelch!

"AHHH! BLAHHHH!"

As Luna pulled the guards upper body was pulled free from it's lower slapping the floor with a sicking sound as Luna threw up again.

"By the mother!" She looked to see her legs covered in blood while she shook in fear.

She looked back at the pile as the bodies had shifted sliding down like sick pool of flesh and blood making it easier to step over them.

Luna stepped over the bodies trying not to touch any of them more than she needed to and looked into the dark room to find a door to the left where Celestia's private room that even she was forbidden to go into open showing a staircase that led down.

Luna stepped into the doorway where two more bodies of mares one that was missing her head and it looked like her right side was cut off while the other was hanging from a spike that pierced through her armor and out of her chest.

Luna could hear mumbling coming from the opening where there was once a heavy wooden door that was now laying in pieces scattered into the darkness.

Luna tried to steel herself as best she could and started to descend the stairs her hoof steps seeming to be louder than she remembered. As she passed the threshold her blood ran cold seeing more bodies scattered around the dark room with various beings inside large tanks and even on tables where it looked like old blood was dried.

She looked to her right to see to her horror a body of a changeling on a operation table cut open exposing it's insides with some of it hanging over the side and onto the floor.

"Tia what is this place?" She asked herself and saw a door open up as all the lights in the chamber blew out.

"Who's there show yourself!" She called only to hear laughter come from the darkness chilling her to the core but she seemed to recognize it.

"The princess of the night commands you to show yourself! HUGH!" Luna slammed into the wall by the door while the door leading to her escape sealed and could hear the other seal as well.

She heard hoofsteps in the darkness making her shiver in fear since even she could not break the bonds holding her in place as a magic sealing ring slipped onto her horn paralyzing her with fear as she saw only the horn slowly coming towards her.

"Who are you? What are you doing here?"

The unicorn said nothing as she stopped right in front of her, her horn shined a little brighter as Luna's head was forced back against the wall showing her attackers face.

"Tw-Twilight?"

"This is the last time you or any of them betray me."

All through the castle if you listened you could hear the screams of the night princess well into the night.

As the hours ticked into the beginning of the morning Celestia's secret door opened and out walked a bloody princess followed by a unicorn along with a black bag as she knocked away the bodies by the door and headed out the front gate where two bodies of the solar guard were impaled onto the spiked gate.

'They betrayed me for the last time, this is what I get for trusting traitors but I'll remedy that.' Twilight thought as she let a giggle slip from her lips.

'Time to pay everyone a visit.'

(20 minutes later, train to Crystal Empire.)

Twilight sniffed as she looked down at the letter and smiled knowing one of her only other friends would help her.

[Dear Prince Winter,

I'm sorry I have not contacted you in a while but things have been more than stressful old friend and I would like to ask a favor from you. You know of my past and with Equestria so I'll skip those details and get right to the point.

I recently have uncovered a plot from Celestia and Luna along with my family and former friends besides the element of kindness to wipe my memories against my will to prepare for the coming of Discord once more. When I went to investigate this plot I found my marefriend murdered and experimented on in the most cruel of ways.

Please I'm begging for your help John, or you know that I'll level all of Equestria.

Sincerely Twilight Sparkle.]

She had to start over a few times as she since her tears were smearing the ink before she looked at the other letter beside it.

[General Chance, mobilize the troops we are at war with Equestria. Begin operations in two weeks.

The Don.]

She stamped it with her seal to show it was real.

"You're all going burn for this, mark my words." She said remembering Fluttershy's face.

(Flashback)

As Twilight carried the body of her changeling on her back she saw Fluttershy crying on one of the benches and walked over to her just as the train was coming in.

"Fluttershy." She called watching the mare freeze and look up at the mare.

"You tell them I'm coming." She said boarding the train and looking back at her.

"YOU TELL THEM I'M COMING AND I'M BRINGING HELL WITH ME! IF THEY WANT TO DANCE WITH THE DEVIL WELL HERE I AM!!!" She yelled shaking the poor mare to the core as she ran.
