The Diamond Princess was back, Skies went to get Solara and Dawn with the Diamond Princess following her. Princess Twilight Amondra Sparkle wasn't going to let any one of her subjects get after she only just returned home. Dawn and Solara hugged each for helping Skies save their home, and Skies hugged the both of them for their help. When they saw their princess fully restored back to health, they bowed before but she raised a hoof to stop them.

"Now is not the time for showing respect, my friends." Princess Twilight said calmly,  her showed fear and pain. "Dawn fetch my armor, alert the guard to get everypony inside their homes and keep them there."

"Yes, My Lady." Dawn threw in a bow before leaving with his orders.

"Solara, Skies..." Princess Twilight turned to the other two females in the room.

"Yes, My Princess ?" Both asked ready to do their part.

"Skies place the Book of the Ages back in the Archives, and Solara I'll need your help getting my armor on. Skies once you're done with your task join us in the throne room."

"Yes princess." Both females said bowing deep for forgiveness, which the Princess would return later after battle.

~~~~~~

King Sombra was furious, the Diamond Princess had returned, and it was all because of that filly Twilight Amondra Skies. He should have whipped het memories clean, everyone of them and replace them with what he wanted her to remember. The Dark King felt something familiar in his heart as voice reached his mind.

"You cannot escape The Diamond Princess now, Dark Light."

"SHUT UP! You stupid Prince, that idiotic Princess will pay... With Her Life!"

"No!!! You. Will. Not. Touch. Her."

"You're in love with her aren't you?"

"When I'm free, I will kill you personally. I promise you that."

"Sure you will. After I kill that mare first."

"You will not lay one hoof on her, as long as I am here."

"You stupid boy!!! You're ridiculous Prince Sombra! I will get my revenge on Princess Twilight Amondra Sparkle, or should I say Princess Crystal Amondra Twilight."

"If you so much as dare touch her, I'll tare you limb from limb!"

~~~~~~

Princess Twilight Amondra Sparkle, or Crystal Amondra Twilight felt Prince Sombra's presence within herself she closed her eyes and directed her focus inwards to her heart. She looked around to find Prince Sombra standing off to her left facing her,  his face was one of great sarrow and dispare. Twilight was horrified to see him in the ghost like form he now possessed.

"Prince Sombra? What happened to you? Why are you like this?" Twilight asked gesturing to the form he was in,  Sombra closed his eyes before opening them again to reveal ice blue pupils held within red iris.

"I'm sorry for what has happened to the Diamond Realm and the Crystal Empire. I never meant for any of it, the day when you became gravely ill I felt so angry that the darkness around us began to consume my soul and locked my spirit in my heart. The darkness calls itself Dark Light, the Lord of Dark Magic. I had never touched any tome on that kind of Magic nor did I ever want to, but I was cursed with Dark Magic inside me. Twilight I won't let Dark Light hurt you or lay one hoof on you as long as I'm around to do something about it. ....Twilight, I love you..."

When Prince Sombra finished speaking Twilight's expression went from scared to shocked.

"How long have you felt this way for me?" Twilight asked feeling herself blush a little although you couldn't see it clearly.

"Ever since we met." Sombra answered honestly as if his heart was put into those words. "What about you, Twilight?.

"I've always loved you ever since you first visited to my Kingdom." Twilight said her voice full of happiness, finally being able explain her feelings to this stallion in front of her. She felt joy running through her body mind and soul. The joy she felt made her smile for the first in over 2975 years, the ghostly figure of Prince Sombra hugged the mare that meant more the world itself to him. He was going to keep his promise, to protect Princess Twilight until he died or their enemy did.

Princess Twilight wanted to save the Northern Realm Ruler from the evil that taken control of his body, she would die trying to save him. Prince Sombra would do the same if he was in her place, she knew he would, anypony would. She hugged the pony she loved most back, hoping she wouldn't have to die to save him. But if she did she would die happy when he was free, she made herself that promise long ago.

~Center of the Diamond Realm~

Princess Twilight headed for the battlefield of Alicornia Gravetimes, why the battlefield was that she didn't know nor did she care, she one priority to deal with at the moment; Dark Light, the Lord of Dark Magic. When arrived The Diamond Princess spotted her Prince's Ghost pointing to where Dark Light was, her eyes followed in the direction Sombra pointed. Dark Light stood in blood red armor with black details, Twilight stood in sky-blue armor with purple details. The two ponies stared for a long tense moment, when Dark Light laugh the sound rolled over her freezing her in place as shivers of fear ran up her spine. It was nothing compared to when he actually spoke, his voice was a dark oily sound what put fear into her mind as their locked, purple to red.

"Crystal Amondra Twilight, Your Imperial Highness. Look at what 2597 years has done to us, you a beautiful young flower, and me a rotting corpse." Dark Light said to Twilight telling her what differences he saw between them.

"That face..." Twilight said in shock of Dark Light's true appearances.

"Last seen at a party like this one."

"A curse."

"Followed by a tragic fight of the ice. Remember?!?!" Dark Light shouted as a black diamond came into view that had been hidden under the armor around his neck, caused the sea-blue diamonds to turn into water which engulfed Twilight before she could defend herself. As soon as the water appeared it vanished, leaving an evil look in Twilight's eyes and a hate filled voice.

"Dark Light." Twilight spoke with venom in her voice, it was as if she had swallowed snake venom.

"Destroyed by your dispeakable parents." Dark said before stepping towards her, with each step he took a step black tendrils entangled around Twilight. One tendril around each limb and her neck tightening whenever she moved, Dark was suffocating her. The tendrils vanished as the ground below Twilight cracked. "Das Vidonya, you highness."

The ground gave away causing Twilight to fall her wings had been misplaced by the dark magical tendrils squeezing them to point she felt the bones become the way they were now.

"Nopony can save you now, Twilight!!!!" Dark happily said with an evil laugh.

"Wanna bet?" Sombra asked before his punch landed on Dark's face sending him flying a couple feet away. "Twilight!!" Sombra shouted as he leapt for the princess who holding onto an iceberg shard for dear life. As Sombra reached Twilight she lost her grip on the shard, Sombra's tail gripped the shard as he caught her front hooves with his own.

"Sombra..." Twilight said straining to keep a tight grip that was quickly fading. "If we live through this, remind me to th-"

Sombra quickly cutting Twilight off knowing what she was saying. "... Thank me later, yeah."

"How romantic together again for the last time." Dark said as his Dark Magic shot mere seconds above Twilight's head, causing Twilight to lose her grip and fall while she screamed out her love's name. "SOMBRA!!!!!!"

As Twilight fell into darkness her heart shined as voice called out to her. "Twilight... Twilight..." the voice that called was definitely a female's, a pure white flash caused a strange creature emerge from Twilight's heart and the was a Dragon. The Dragon's colors matched Twilight's own even the eyes, but the Dragon had Griffin feathered wings not natural Dragon scaled wings.

"Who are you?" Twilight coughed when she spoke, her throat was still recovering from suffocating force that had been caused to it.

"I am Serrina, the Dragon of Pure Feelings. I'm also your spiritual guide, just my parents were to you parents. My father was the Griffin of Heart, and My Mother was the Drake of Love. Your REAL Father was the Alicorn of Wisdom and Your REAL Mother was the Alicorn of Balance. My father's name was Nightstar, and My Mother 's name was Arella. Your REAL Father's name was Night Breeze, and Your REAL Mother's name was Amela."

Twilight listened with great curiosity, but she had one question that needed answering.  "Am I dead?"

"No. You've been spared because of me, without me you'd be dead a long time ago." There was a long pause between the two, neither one of them knew what to say. (Well, not really. Sarrina had something to be explained but she didn't know how to.) "Twilight... I can help you defeat Dark Light, but do that you must pass the test that Dark Light set up for you. If you pass this test you'll gain the full power of Myself and of the Diamond Crown. Now in this test, you must face your greatest fear."

"But how?"

"Don't be afraid, you have all the tools you need. Now fight."

With that said, Sarrina disappeared leaving Twilight all alone in the dark. The darkness changed to a place that Twilight  had only heard of; The Votex of Diamonds. Twilight fell slowly as if time was moving halfway slower than normal, she turned herself as she looked into the Vortex.

"This is Vortex of Diamonds... Its incredible, its so beautiful." Something caught Twilight's eyes as a figure came into veiw, the figure was a five-headed Dragon that looked just as Dark Light would. Twilight got shoved back by one of the five heads causing Twilight to breathe with pain in her chest.

Twilight knew fighting the pain she felt would make her stronger, she spread her wings walking thourgh the air trying to get her pain under control. Taking a deep breath she concentrated all of her magical energy than released it all when she shouted, "Diamond Fire! Dragon of The Diamond Realm!"

Sarrina came to her aid firing at the Dark Dragon, the attack didn't do much damage to the Dark Dragon. It attacked with its own fire which was black as a starless night, the blast caused Sarrina to fall to her opponent. Sarrina was pinned down with the Dark One's tail around her midsection, Twilight felt weaker than normal.

"I can't move" Twilight said as fell on a ledge near Sarrina, who was now weak as she was. Twilight pushed herself back onto her hooves knowing failure wasn't an option for her. "Come on Twilight, you've got this. Just dig deep. You can do this."

Twilight jumped off of the ledge, flew to Sarrina's side giving her spirit more power.

"Attack with all the power of the Diamond Fire!" Twilight commanded as Sarrina was ready to tare the Dark One apart,  but instead fired with all of the power that had been given. The flames burned the Dark One to ashes,  the Diamond Crown glowed brighter than it had the first she found it.

"I did!" Twilight said joy and pride, she passed the test of the Vortex and Dark Light at the same time. Sarrina's power along with her form merged with the Crown's power which focused on Twilight as the magical essences serged throughout her body a few of her features changed. Her wingspan grew to match Sarrina's. Twilight's mane flowed within its own way the bottom flowed towards her left but as it reached the end the flow reversed itself back to her right, her tail did the same. Her legs and horn grew longer than Celestia's by an inch or two, she became thinker too her armor was fitting better by five belt holes.

With her strength replenished her magic maxed to its fullest, Twilight flew out of the Vortex and back to the battle at hoof. She had earned her true powers and was ready to use them.

~~~~~

When Twilight lost her grip and fell into the darkness below as she for Sombra, that pulled his last nerve. Sombra swung himself around the shard his gripped, he propled himself up towards Dark Light, Sombra wanted him dead. The two stallions fought with their horns tyring overpower each other, the ground shook as a strange light from within the ice hole but neither stallion noticed the light. Dark Light felt his strength fade a bit, giving Sombra the upper hoof in this battle. The light became a fire from the Vortex of Diamonds both stallions looked toward the fire that had rose up to the ground above. Dark and Sombra saw a figure turn it's  head towards Dark and fired at him as it spoke the voice was feminine, "Diamond Fire Shower!"

"Twilight!" Sombra said as he recognized the figure's vioce, Twilight came into veiw. Dark Light's body had been scorched, he was almost gone from existence.

"Sombra?" Twilight asked getting his attention. "Would you like to finish the job?"

As Twilight finished her question, something filled with and made of Dark Magic slashed Twilight's neck open. The Diamond Princess's own blood strained the snow-covered as she dropped flat on her belly, Sombra meanwhile had killed Dark Light and regained control over his body. Sombra was tall as Twilight his mane flowed in it did when he was corrupted by Dark Light, he heard Twilight's breathing and instantly knew what Dark Light had done.

"Twilight..." Sombra cradled her in his hooves as he tried to heal her wound, his spiritual guide was a Phoenix named White Soul.

"Sombra, magic won't work." Soul moved close to Twilight wound, tears fell from Soul's face and onto the wound causing it to heal.

Twilight gasped for air when Soul was finished, she looked those around her and hugged them all for the help they had provided for her to win. Dark Light was gone for good and so all the evil he had done. The Diamond Realm's freedom had returned and would remain for all eternity.
