(I woke up with a start. I remember what had transpired last night. Knowing that Rarity was a Vampony and Sweetie Bell was an android consume my mind. I got up though, heading to the open field at the outskirts of Ponyville, where me and Shadow are going to fight. When I arrived, I saw a open field and saw Shadow standing there, glaring at me with a smirk on his face. He wasn't alone. He brought 2 new friends with him. I recognized them, Rouge and Amy Rose. Rouge was Rarity's Best Friend and they worked together. My guess though was that Rarity and Rouge shared a Vampony mix. Amy Rose was Pinkie Pie's sidekick with party planning and she had a major crush on Sonic, who runs from her every time she got close to him.)

"So, did you bring sidekicks to help you when your reputation is on the line?"

Shadow: (Growls at me) "No, I brought them here to help referee this match. Rouge is going to make it public once the winner is declared! This way, I can prove that I can beat you!"

"That, and so Sonic can actually pay attention to you."

(Shadow's eyes began to glow red.)

Shadow: "Let's just get started."

"Fine."

(We got into our battle stance.)

Amy Rose: "Ok, are the fighters ready?" (They nodded "yes") "Ok, ready...... fight!"

(We charged at each other. When we collided, we created a giant burst of energy, making it sound like an explosion.)

(From on top of a cliff....)

(Twilight Eclipse looked down at Ponyville and was about to head down until she heard an explosion nearby. She looked at the outskirts and she saw energy burst after burst there. She smirked, figuring that she had just found her brother. The Black Crystal she was on began to head down to the ground.)

(Me and Shadow kept punching each other, blow after blow. After our 8th hit, Shadow began to channel his energy into his horn.)

Shadow: "Chaos Spear!" (He fires a yellow energy spear at me. I simple dodged it but Shadow had appeared in front of me.) "Gotcha!"

(He went for the punch, who for it to phase right through me. I had turned intangible to avoid the attack. Shadow went through me and was shocked entirely. I looked at him and fired a Ghost Ray to his back, knocking him towards the ground. Shadow gets back up and glares at me.)

Shadow: 'How did he avoid that attack. I phased right through him...... It's almost as if he is a ghost......'

(I took to the sky and my eyes turned icy blue. Suddenly, I fire a beam of ice at the ground, making it turned to ice. Shadow try to run on it but slipped. I had the upper advantage now. I began to fire a series of ghost rays at him, some hit him, others he teleported away from. Shadow was now glowing red, he was angry that I was winning. His horn ignited with a red aura.)

Shadow: "Chaos Torrent!"

(He fired a massive ball of energy at me. I fired my Ecto-Energy Ball at the Chaos Torrent and they exploded, creating a flash of energy. I looked back down and Shadow teleported above me, he kicked my to the ground and I crashed, creating a crater. Shadow channel his Chaos Energy into his horn and the aura turned Blue.)

Shadow: "It's over! Chaos Arrow Barrage!"

(He fires a series of Chaos Arrows at the crater, making the dust rise and exploding the crater itself. After a few minutes of attacking, Shadow halted and landed to the ground, exhausted and tired. He began to chuckle at the sight of the crater.)

Shadow: "I guess I am stronger than him-"

(He sees me coming out of the crater, unfazed and untouched. Shadow's mouth dropped at this. I was wiping the dust off me, looking at him, smirking.)

"You were saying Shadow?"

Shadow: "But- how-?" (He was at a lost of words.)

"Well, I'm not an ordinary pony, am I?"

(Shadow snapped out of it and began to growl. His entire body turned bright red and Chaos Energy began to radiate off him. He was in his Chaos Blast form now.)

Rouge: "Shadow's pissed!"

(I glared at him with a blank expression.)

Shadow: "Chaos...." (He teleports in front of me and pins me to the ground) "Blast!"

(He explodes with a massive amount of energy. The blast expanded to the edge of Ponyville before dying down. Everypony who saw it came to see what had happened. They arrived and see Shadow in a crater, injured severely but was still breathing. He was panting and he opened his eyes, seeing his target gone. He gets out of the crater, laughing.)

Shadow: "I guess he was big talk!"

???: "Says the Unicorn who believes he is all powerful."

(His eyes narrowed and turned, to see me still smirking and again, untouched. Shadow's jaw dropped again.)

"Now we have a crowd. Let me show you when you challenge me to a fight."

(I teleported behind Shadow and because his muscles were sore from the attack, Shadow couldn't fast enough to hit me. I breathed in a deep breathe and unleashed my Ghostly Wail on him. He was pushed back by the attack and landed and slide on the ground. He was knocked out now, completely asleep from tiredness. He held my hoof in triumphant and the crowd began to chant my name. Rouge took a picture of me beating Shadow and left to make this public. After a few more minutes, there were a large amount of gasps and I looked. There, I saw my Twin Sister, walking into the crowd. He stopped in front of me and I looked at her, smirking. After a few more seconds, we hugged.)

"Hello sister."

Twilight Eclipse: "Hello brother."

(The crowd gasp at what they just heard and we walked into Ponyville, talking.)

(We walked into the Library and we sat down. Spike came around and gasp at what he saw. I looked at him.)

"Spike, can you get Twilight Sparkle?"

(Spike nods and goes. We wait and Twilight came down stairs, to see the 2 of us. She gasp at bit but recovered quickly. She came up to us and began to ask questions. But, I silenced her and Twilight Eclipse used her magic to scan Twilight Sparkle. After a scan, she looked at Twilight S in confusion.)

Twilight E: "Who are you?"

Twilight S: "I'm Twilight Sparkle."

Twilight E: "No, you aren't. I can sense that."

(Twilight Sparkle gasp before she motion us to go down stairs When we did, she locked the door and that was when she burst into Green Flames. When the flames died, there standing in Twilight position, was a Changeling.)

(We backed away. Twilight S noticed this and stopped them.)

Twilight S: "Don't worry, I'm not dangerous. I'm a friend....."

(We glared at her for a few more seconds.)

"Twilight?"

(She nods and my mouth hung open.)

"But..... when....... how......."

Twilight S: "The real Twilight Sparkle died..... I was her only friend so I took her place. The only ones who knew I was a changeling were Twilight Velvet and Night Light, my adopted parents......"

(We nod and Twilight S transformed back.)

Twilight S: "My real name is Amethyst Sheen."

"Well, you shocked us. A lot....."

Amethyst: "Sorry. You promise you won't tell anypony, will you?"

Twilight: "Of course not. I promise."

"Me too."

(Amethyst nods and we went back upstairs, talking.) Next Chapter: The Beginning of a New Era Estimated time remaining: 2 Hours, 29 Minutes
