1 Day Later

Ponyville General Hospital

Twilight Sparkle

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

“Oh my head” I groaned out as my eyes gazed around the white hospital room.

“Hey girls she’s awake!”

“Darn tootin’ Sugarcube” Applejack said with a relieved sigh.

“Hey egghead you alright?” Rainbow Dash asked me.

“I think so…” I trailed off not entirely sure myself.

“Oh thank goodness Twilight” I turned to see a very concerned Celestia enter the room. “I was so worried” She said with a soft smile.

“Princess I...what happened exactly?” I asked while attempted to sit up.

“Well…” Celestia began to go over the past day while I was unconscious…

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Silent Dusk

'Ugh this is ridiculous she’s right in front of me, and here I am still trapped in her damn seal. I was so close to breaking it but Celestia had to show up and strengthen the seal while this fake mare was out cold.'

I paced around in circles while going through reasons as to why I hated Celestia. My wings were fluttering irritably, thinking about her always made me mad.

'First ignoring my Mother than banishing her inside our beloved Moon. She’s the worst and considering that she hasn’t even told Twilight anything about me...ARGH! I hate her SO much!'

Stomping my hooves like a filly throwing a tantrum caused the mindscape to rumble. I thought for a moment only to sigh angrily. Sitting on my haunches I shook my head side to side as my ears drooped.

''Being trapped here while my Mom is being controlled by Her is just horrid. I will never forget that night she had finally escaped her lunar prison…'

(Flashback)

“You little foal! Thinking you could defeat me!” Nightmare Moon said while she glared at a terrified lavender Unicorn.

‘Mother! Destroy her and free me please! I can’t stand being away from your side inside this mare's feeble soul!’ Dusk pleaded from her mental prison within Twilight’s mind.

“Now you will never see your Princess or your Sun!” Nightmare stated as she sent her magic across the room. Lightning sparked from her mane which gave her a terrifying visage.

“The Night will last FOREVER!!!” She then continued with a sinister laugh as Twilight’s hope almost ran dry.

‘YES! It’s over for you foal and all of Equestria will pay for their transgressions against your true rulers! At last freedom!’ I excitedly laughed.

As I and Nightmare continued our triumphant laughter several familiar voices appeared behind Twilight. I stopped while Twilight turned her head around to see her friends arrive.

‘Those foalish mares. It’s too late! You can’t hope to stop a Goddess now that those cursed Elements are shattered!’

“You think you can just destroy the Elements of Harmony just like that!?” Twilight turned to Nightmare Moon with confident grin.

‘Wait... what is that magic that just appeared out there? No it couldn't be.’

“Well you’re wrong because the spirits of the Elements of Harmony...are right here!” Twilight said as her friends stood behind her. The shards around the Nightmare start to glow and float in the air.

“What?” Nightmare replied shocked.

“Applejack who assured me while I was in doubt represents the spirit of Honesty! Fluttershy who tamed the Manticore with her compassion represents the spirit of Kindness!. Pinkie Pie who giggled in the face of danger represents the spirit of Laughter!”

‘No…’

“Rarity who calmed a sorrowful serpent with a meaningful gift represents the spirit of Generosity! And Rainbow Dash who could not abandon her friends for her hearts’ desire represents the spirit of Loyalty!”

‘NO!’ I screamed.

“The spirits of these five ponies got us through every challenge you threw at us!”

Nightmare began to panic. “You still don’t have the sixth Element! The spark didn’t work!”

“But it did...a different kind of spark. I felt it the very moment I realized how happy I was hear you, to see you, how much I cared about you. the spark ignited inside me when I realized that you all ...are my friends!!” Twilight let a few tears out as she turned back to Nightmare Moon.

‘This again…not again!!’

Finally the sixth Element appeared.

“You see Nightmare Moon” Twilight continued. “When those Elements are ignited by the-the spark that resides inside the hearts of us all it creates the sixth element the Element of MAGIC!”

The Elements formed into five gold necklaces and a gold tiara dropped itself on Twilight’s head.

‘STOP!!’ I yelled as a Rainbow beam formed around them and span toward Nightmare Moon. Much to my horror I could only watch and wait as the Elements ended my hopes for uniting with my mother and bringing Eternal Night.

“Nooooo!! NOOOOOOO!!” Dusk’s mother screams in defiance.

‘Why?...WHY?!?’

My vision gwent blurry as a bright light enveloped the chamber.

(End Flashback)

“I couldn't do anything again it’s not fair...” I began to cry.

“D-Damn it *sob* Will I ever be F-free? Twilight is living MY life! *sob* B-b-being trapped here without my mommy’s warm embrace ... IT’S NOT FAIR!!!”

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

“Ahhhhhhhh!!” Flowing tears began to fall down Twilight’s face as an intense pain surged through her head.

“Twilight!” Everypony in the room ran to her.

My voice cut through Twilight’s own. “Let me out! NOW!!”

Celestia gasped. ”Oh no Dusk” All eyes turned to her.

“I know you’re there Celestia! This is not fair! Break this seal and let see me my Mother!!”

“Who is that?!” Rarity looks around trying to identify the voice.

*meep* Is all Fluttershy managed to get out.

“Dusk! Now let me out-” Celestia put a quick sleep spell on Twilight.

“Why did you that!?” Rainbow yells as she glared at the white Alicorn.

“Everypony I have something to share with you all.”

‘One day ….’ I growled angrily.

‘Dusk just who are you?’ Twilight asked before she fell asleep once more.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

'She stopped me AGAIN! She has not changed one bit, not in a thousand years. No more waiting I WILL escape.

'But how? Every time I tried in the past something always got in my way, when that fool Discord escaped I was so close but his arrogance got him turned to stone again by the Elements which caused my seal to fix itself.

'Maybe it was for the better, he would have been a bother in my Mother's future reign anyway.'

'*sob* No I must not break down again I already exposed my presence to those pesky Element bearers. If I could just break a small hole in the seal I could access some of my magic again.

'Discord and Sombra were on to something with those mind control spells, turning Twilight against her friends could perhaps weaken the seal so I could break free.'

I sat on the cold ground of my prison setting up a plan in my 'mind', finally something came to my. 'Anger MY anger could work, pumping this little mare with my hate is perfect.'

'Just you wait Twilight Sparkle you'll feel every last bit of my hatred!' I laughed darkly. Next Chapter: Chapter 4 - The Past Part 1 Estimated time remaining: 20 Minutes
