Chapter 17: The Beginning of a New Era
Previous Chapter Next Chapter(Meanwhile at the Crystal Mines...)
(We [Me and my twin sister, Twilight, who wants to be called Midnight] was summoned here from my Mom & Aunt. We waited until they arrived. Celestia was fully aware of Midnight's return. Luna greeted us with normal family love.)
"So, why gather us here?"
Celestia: "Well, these mines have rare crystals inside. After thoroughly examining the wreckage from those weird ships of space, we realize that we could use the metal we gathered to make warships. So, we are going to ready ourselves to space. We examined their computers and discovered that there are certain crystals that ponies use to make a weapon called "The Lightsaber". We need crystals to make these weapons."
Luna: "We could be stronger if we do."
(I nodded and we went inside.)
"So Mom, you met Midnight."
Luna: "Midnight?"
Midnight: "Yes. I thought it would be for the best to be called Midnight instead of Twilight because me and Twilight would be confused if someone called out "Twilight" and we wouldn't know who she would be talking about."
Luna: "I see... I like it."
Midnight: "Thanks."
(We went down deeper and eventually found a split in the path. We separated. Luna and Celestia went 1 way, me and Midnight the other way.)
Midnight: "We might get lost in these caves..."
"That is why we must stick together."
(However, the floor below us began to crack. I immediately reacted and pushed Midnight out of the way and the floor gave in on me. I fell down and Midnight called down to my name as I fall. I would have flied back up but my wings would be injured if I did so in a enclosed space.)
"AHHHH!!!"
(I landed to the ground with a big "Thump". I scratched my flank in pain and got up. I lit up my location with my ghost power and walked down. As I continue, I caught glimpse of a glowing crystal. It was small but I grabbed it. It was green and darker in the center. I also picked up the violet one next to it and began to leave. I put the crystals in pocket dimension and continue to walk.)
"Hello? Anypony here?"
(I continue to walk down until I stopped in front of a skull-looking rock formation and red mist was leaving it. I walked in, nervous.)
"Hello?"
???: (Ghostly voice) "Hello....."
(I almost screamed and turned around, being greeted by a hooded stallion.)
"Who.... Who are you?"
???: "I am...... Darth...... Revan......"
"Darth Revan?"
Revan: "Yes...."
"Where am I?"
Revan: "You are in the Crystal mines, but at the deepest level. Here, you have entered the zone of shadows....."
"Why is it called "The Zone of Shadows"?"
Revan: "Because..... The Zone of Shadows bring us the future..... The ones who will become a victim of the dark side....."
"You're scaring me man. Listen, just show me the way out."
(Revan points to the other side, revealing the exit. I walked over and left. When I turned to thank Revan, he wasn't there... I heard him say "Victim of the dark side" but what does that mean? I ignored it and began to walk away.)
(Midnight was running. Ever since she lost me, she wanted to find her mother and aunt. But then, she found herself on 1 side of a frozen lake. She found a crystal on the other side, it was glowing. She used her dark crystals to make a bridge to get across and she walked over it. She went to the crystal and saw it was a crystal color of Sapphire. She took it and left. But she saw she was surrounded by a red mist.)
???: (Ghostly voice) "Hello?"
(Midnight turns and sees a filly.)
Midnight: "Who are you, little filly?"
???: "My name is Nyx...... But some call me Nightmare Moon......"
(Midnight's jaw dropped. There is NO way this was my mother.)
Midnight: "Hello Nyx..... Tell me, why do ponies call you "Nightmare Moon"?"
Nyx: "Well, there was a cult that was loyal to Nightmare Moon. They began a rebirth ritual and you and Grandpa Danny help create me...."
Midnight: "Wait, I help create you and Grandpa Danny?"
Nyx: "I'm a shadow of the future but yes, Danny gets married to Grandma Rainbow Dash."
(Midnight smiled a bit. She knew Danny was always sensitive and sweet around Rainbow but never admitting it. And from the sound of "Grandpa and Grandma" they had a foal. Midnight was wondering what they named the foal until she noticed the red mist gone and so was Nyx.)
Midnight: "Where did Nyx go? Oh well, let's find the rest."
(Celestia and Luna had alright got their crystals. Celestia's was yellow while Luna's was Blue with a black core. They were on their way through the caves until a red mist stops them. 2 shadows of the future came out and the 2 sisters gasp at their appearance.)
Stallion: "Hello my dear lovely Luna."
Luna: "King Sombra!"
Celestia: "And Discord!"
Discord: "Ah, if we were only here. We are nothing but shadows of the future......"
Celestia: "Wait... You're not really here?"
Discord: "No, but we bring you a warning....."
King Sombra: "In the near future, our son, Danny, will travel down a dark path....."
Luna: "No....."
Discord: "Yes.... I was, however, the one who turned him to the dark side. I regretted it later....."
Celestia: "Why warn us?"
Sombra: "Because that boy has an army that hides in the shadows. He is also very powerful.... Only Rainbow can stop him....."
Luna: "Why Rainbow Dash?"
Sombra: (Smiles, not a evil one but a happy warming one) "Because, within his heart, he loves Rainbow Dash with his very heart."
(Luna was smiling as well. Now knowing that Danny has a special somepony warmed her. Celestia was smiling as well. The 2 as a couple was possible now.)
Discord: "We have to go. We will warn you of 1 thing. In the future, an old friend of you will return for revenge....."
(The mist began to withdraw and the 2 faded with it. Celestia and Luna nodded and went to find their others.)
(At the entrance....)
(I arrived there and Midnight found me as well. We see our Aunt and Mother coming to us and we entered a hug until we see a red mist approaching us again. We looked at it again and 1 more figure emerged.)
Luna: "Who are you?"
???: "My name I-is Sasuke Uchiha....."
"Are you a vision of the future as well?"
Sasuke: "N-no.... I'm the one who was born in these caves..... These crystals give me the strength I need."
(We looked at each other before nodding. We left to go home. Me, Midnight, and Sasuke went to Ponyville while Luna and Celestia returned to Canterlot.)
(I finished making my lightsabers. My right Lightsaber was a Green blade with a Black core. My left was a lightsaber with a violet light and black core. I finished training them out and was impressed.) Next Chapter: Return of Harmony (The Ultimate Enemy Prologue) Estimated time remaining: 2 Hours, 24 Minutes
