Twilight looked at the blood soaked Luna. Her smile was disturbing to say the least, and it was one of pure enjoyment. This was the first time she has seen Luna in such a state for herself. It was one thing to see her through a memory, but to see her standing in the same room covered in blood, her teal eyes filled with excitement, and that smile....it enraged Twilight. She hated how Luna enjoyed all this pain that others were suffering.

Pinkie looked stared at Luna, her heart gripped with fear, the same fear she had the night she watched her friends die. Her body was shaking, she wanted to run, leave, and pretend she wasn't seeing what was in front of her.But she couldn't deny reality. This was Luna, an insane killer, monstrous, and merciless. Just when she was starting to be happy, it was all broken in her heart at the sight. Luna took her happiness away once again.

Celestia maintained her composure, but inside she was all types of broken. The corpses and blood and organs spewed across the room were not a sight she hasn't seen before. She has seen many terrible things in her time, but this was different. This was Luna, her own sister. She looked noticing the bodies were all of her guards, but none of the delegates or Shining Armor. There was some relief to be had, afraid if Shining Armor was among the dead, that her student would completely lose it. Twilight had lost more than enough of her loved ones.

"So, my sister and her favorite pupil are here to see my doing. Oh, and it looks like Pinkie Pie decided to join also." Pinkie shivered at her words, they had a darkness underneath them that seemed to go through her body, bringing it to a chill. Twilight wanted to run towards her, to kill her with everything she had, but she knew that they had to get the necklace. She would be risking too much.

"Why have you done this?" Celestia demanded. She needed answers, and needed them quickly. What would cause her sister to do this?

Luna cocked her head and smirked. "Oh, you mean all this?" Luna said motioning her hoof to the bloody mess she had created. "This....was all for Equestria dear sister."

"Equestria?! Luna, look at what you have done! There is no good reason for all this!" Celestia cried to her. Her heart was sore, seeing her sister becoming something that she never knew was in her.

Luna laughed, her laugh ringing through the hall against the blood spattered walls. "Oh but I do have a good reason. They all had to die, for they served a ruler who cannot rule anymore." She started walking slowly toward the trio.

"Do not move any closer Luna!" Celestia commanded. She did not know who this was. This was not Luna. It couldn't be.

Twilight put herself in battle ready position. There was no way in hell she was going to let Luna have the jump on her. Ten years she had waited to bring vengeance upon her friends murderer, and though it was misguided at first, she promised herself she would find kill the bastard, and so she will. Pinkie planted her hooves down into the floor, but was frozen stiff. She had never been scared before when they had fought Nightmare Moon and Discord, and she made Twilight a handy weapon during the wedding, but after seeing her friends killed, there was always a fear present in her, one she couldn't laugh away. It always had her, making her realize this was real life.

Luna stopped, only smiling at the three. "What's the matter sister? You don't care about me anymore?" she said mockingly.

"Enough! You killed all of these innocent ponies, just so you could rule?" Celestia feared that her sister had become power hungry, the makings of a tyrant, only fearing her answer.

Luna laughed once again, relishing how desperate Celestia was trying to make sense of all this. "No, they simply got in my way, and to be honest, it was quite enjoyable sister. The fear in their eyes when you hold their life in your hooves, and to rip it away from them. It reminds me of how powerful I really am, and how weak you had become." she shot at Celestia.

Celestia was horrified hearing these dark words come out of her sister's mouth. She enjoyed killing them.

"What are you talking about Luna!? Speak sense!" She was trying so hard to understand Luna. She hoped that there was some great reason for all this bloodshed, she didn't want to face the truth that Luna was a monster.

"You are weak Celestia! When I learned of your failure at the wedding against Chysalis at the wedding, it made me think sister. It made me think how long would it be before Equestria was taken because of your lack of power. Now, lo and behold, we are on the brink of war with the changelings because of your inaction! Equestria needs a ruler who is not afraid of destroying her enemies, and doing what must be done!"

Pinkie was confused. She had not heard of the changelings since the wedding, but to hear about that they were on the precipice of a war? She looked at Twilight, wanting to clear this confusion from her head, but Twilight was focused on Luna, her teeth grinding against each other, wanting a go at the insane princess.

Calm yourself. Your here for the necklace. This is not your fight.

Twilight desperately wanted to charge at Luna and unleash all her rage and hate towards her, and pound her six feet into the ground into she was nothing but a mess of blood and bone.

I know. I'm under control. But Twilight wanted to lose it.

"Luna listen to yourself! You sound like a tyrant! You are becoming the very thing we stopped and vowed to never have again! Your no better than Discord if that's what you believe! Power can't solve all problems and sometimes only make problems worse! You would do no better than I have!" Celestia wanted to get through to her, make her see reason.

"Do not tell me that I cannot do better!" Luna screamed, her voice piercing the trio's eardrums. "I do what I must for Equestria! Everything that I have done and will do is in Equestria's best interest, an interest you lost long ago dear sister!"

"Was killing my friends for Equestria too you insane fuck!" Twilight blurted out. Her anger was becoming harder and harder to control, it wanted to come out, but she also wanted her answers. Pinkie looked at her marefriend, remembering the enraged Twilight a few days ago, a sight that she rather not see again.

Luna looked toward the lavender unicorn. "Oh now Twilight, you should show more respect. Besides, I took care of you after all, while your great mentor abandoned you. How does it feel Twilight, to know you have wasted so many years of your life looking for the wrong one? That the whole time, your friends were murdered by my hoof, always right next to you.

Do not listen to her Twilight, she is only egging you on!

It was too late.

"SHUT UP! SHUT UP! ENOUGH TALKING! YOU DIE NOW YOU FUCKING BITCH!" she screamed as she charged towards her, her body burning with rage.

"Twilight! No!" both Pinkie Pie and Celestia yelled. They both charged after Twilight to stop her from meeting her own death. Luna smiled wide, looking at the enraged unicorn.

"Yes! Come and take your revenge Twilight Sparkle! Come and join your pathetic friends!"

TWILIGHT! STOP! but this voice would not be heard. It was consumed in thought of only bringing death to Luna.

Kill her...make her suffer... Twilight ran even faster towards Luna, the voice driving her now, her rage fueling her.

Luna summoned her magic and a blade appeared before her, the same blade jagged blade she had used ten years ago, but now it was longer, and the blade had three black gems infused within it. The blade had a black aura covering it, as if a black fire had consumed it.

"Come meet your end Twilight Sparkle! Meet your friends in the eternal hell that they suffer!"

"TWILIGHT STOP! SHE IS GOING TO KILL YOU! PLEASE STOP!" cried out the pursuing Pinkie Pie, tears flowing behind. She didn't want to lose another friend, especially her Twilight.

Celestia ran toward her student trying to catch her. She saw Luna summon a blade...a blade she recognized. Celestia's eyes went wide open, now focusing on the blade that Luna now magically wielded, waiting for the charging unicorn who was now blind with anger.

"Twilight! No! Stop!" the princess cried.

Twilight couldn't hear them. She only heard her rapid heartbeat, the blood rushing through her body and boiling.

She took everything from you.... She was getting near Luna, finally making it across the seemingly long hall, and leaped into the air, as to pounce on her and beat her into the marble floor. She started falling towards Luna, raising a hoof, pushing all her power into it, but she missed one tiny detail. She noticed Luna position a sword, ready to impale her. Too quickly did she realize that she had made a fatal mistake. Time slowed down for her, only feeling herself fall to meet Luna's blade that she soon would fall right onto, but this would not be so....

Celestia opened her wings, her eyes became a bright yellow, just as the sun she would raise every day, and flew across the room with lightning speed, and knocked Twilight out of the way in midair, sending them both into one of the side walls. Twilight felt the impact across her side when the white alicorn pushed her out of her impending death. She didn't know how fast they were both going, but in seconds she felt herself slam into a wall, hearing it crack under such speed. Both Celestia and Twilight fell to the ground, while Pinkie ran to them to make sure they were okay.

"Now sister, why did you have to ruin my fun?" Luna asked as she plunged her blade into the ground. Celestia got up, and underneath her was Twilight. She scanned her quickly, to make sure she was generally alright. Twilight shook her head, trying to stop the spinning in her head form the impact, and looked up with Celestia looking down at her and Pinkie beside her.

"Damn you Twilight!" You can't go out all willy nilly out there!" Pinkie cried as she hugged her, seeing how her marefriend was about to be killed moments ago if if wasn't for Celestia saving her. Celestia quickly turned to Luna while Pinkie smothered Twilight, who was patiently waiting leaning on her sword and smiling.

"You killed them Luna. You killed the Elements of Harmony." she stated blatantly to her. Celestia had let it sink in and there was no doubt now. She had killed her student's friends but she didn't know why. Not yet...

"Why did you kill them Luna. They freed you from Nightmare Moon. They treated you as if you were their friend. You were their friend. Why Luna?" She asked, pleading for an explanation. It was breaking her heart to learn and realize what her sister had become.

"They freed me from Nightmare Moon on your account. You used them to take care of a problem you didn't want to solve, or couldn't solve" Luna sneered. Pinkie and Twilight were now both still on the ground behind Celestia, but looked at Luna confusingly. Luna caught their looks, and chuckled.

"Oh, I suppose you two didn't know that. Your wonderful Princess here used you. She sent you to come after Nightmare Moon, fully knowing that you could be killed, because she knew she was not powerful enough to stop me. If it wasn't for you Twilight Sparkle for figuring out the sixth element, you all would have died, and she would have covered it all up. My dear sister did this many times in her tarnished past. Remember Discord? Have you ever asked yourselves why she didn't do it herself?"

Pinkie rose up, looking at Luna straight in her eyes and courage rising in her. She just wasn't going to let her bad mouth Celestia like that in front of her or have her almost hurt Twilight again.

"Princess Celestia wouldn't do that! She said she can no longer use the elements, that's why she sends us. And now were going to whip your ass!" Pinkie said, finally standing up to her. She wanted this all to end. She may have ran before, but she was here now, and she is not leaving...not this time.

Luna laughed at the small pink pony. "I see why you are the Element of Laughter. But only the Element of Laughter and Magic remain now, as I'm sure you remember, I killed the rest, and they are in here." as she revealed the accursed necklace around her neck. Twilight took notice of the black gem. She had to get it from Luna. It was her only way of getting her friends back, and she would be damned if she came back empty hoofed.

"You have not answered my question Luna. Why did you kill them?" Celestia demanded.

"Oh, you already know the answer to that sister," Luna said as she turned her dark gaze back onto Celestia, "As you know already, when the Elements of Harmony are combined, they become a powerful weapon. A weapon powered by friendship. But I noticed something when I felt its power rip away Nightmare Moon away. I felt a darkness within it" she motioned her hoof to the pendant," and it left behind this black gem. I left it there at that abandoned castle, but a voice called to me ever since then. That's when I decided to go back. The voice grew louder and louder every day, so when I went back, while you were being miserably defeated by Chrysalis, I retrieved it. It told me that you were weak, and I should take over but I needed power. It told me how...." she said looking over to Twilight and Pinkie.

Celestia was taken back. She had always assumed her sister was merely sleeping that day. That explained her missing now from the wedding.

"Luna, what you speak of is beyond the natural. If you take all the elements and use them for yourself, there will be no order or harmony. Is that what you want?" Celestia knew full well what Luna was planning to do with the elements.

"I need this power, and once I have it, I will be more than capable of wiping out Equestria's enemies. I will create peace and harmony for every pony." Luna said, now pulling her sword out of the ground, and slinging it over her shoulder. "I will be a god."

Pinkie and Twilight stared in disbelief, hearing the revelation that was being made to them, why their friends were so brutally sacrificed. With all the elements and that black gem, she would transcend as an alicorn and have the power to rival gods.

"And you dear sister, have foolishly delivered the final pieces to me!" Luna cried out in triumph as she now pointed her sword straight at Celestia.

Celestia looked over to the the unicorn and earth pony. She was right! She had brought them here, now risking what their lives, and now realizing that if they died, Luna would win. She would not be able to fight that kind of power. She had to get them out of here. Twilight still laid on the floor, only listening to what Luna was saying. She was behind Celestia and Pinkie, both protecting her, but Luna was right. Twilight pieced it all together. That is why she wanted her to bring Pinkie to her. She would have them both in the same place and it would be easy. She would have killed them both and bring her plan of power into fruition.

"So sister," Celestia turned to face her sister once more,"I am tired of talking. Unlike you, I am willing to take action." with those final words, she turned her horn in Pinkie's general direction, and a black spear like magic bolt shot out, heading for the now frozen mare. Celestia turned quickly, and jumped in front of her. The black bolt was going too fast for her to cast a sheilding spell, and it hit Celestia firmly in her side, and threw both her and Pinkie into the wall. The blast knocked out Celestia cold, and Pinkie's head slammed against the wall upon impact and she followed suit.

(Yes, I'm going to try this. Prepare for tactical overly dramatic music: Overly Dramatic Shit If you don't like that kind of stuff, then don't play it please. This is supposed to be played from now until the end of the chapter.)

Twilight was left now unguarded and she watched as both her mentor and Pinkie were blasted into the wall, making a sick cracking sound when they hit. She watched them fall to the ground,and land on the floor with another sick crack. They laid there motionless. She looked back at Luna in horror, fearing the worst. She didn't know if they were dead or not, but she knew they were not moving or getting up. She couldn't scream or even call their names. A new found fear had rose in her, choking her words. Where had all her rage gone that she had been consumed by earlier, and why was she now so afraid. Was it the sight of seeing the most powerful alicorn and her lover thrown like a doll? Or was it that this was reality, that her life was now in extreme danger?

"So, it seems it is just you and I, Twilight Sparkle." Luna said, swinging her sword in front of her with her magic nonchalantly. Twilight heard a fizzing sound, and saw something black envelope the two unconscious bodies.

"NO! What are you doing to them!?" Twilight screamed. She couldn't see them anymore. Her heart filled with sheer terror.

"Do not worry, they are fine. I just don't want any interuptions between us. You and I have much to settle." Luna smiled, the same wicked smile she had given before. How Twilight hated that smile....

She must pay

Twilight rose up, getting up on all four legs, watching Luna the entire time. She hated that smile....

Make her suffer...

That grin...it burned her....

Kill her...wipe that smile from her face...

Like a tidal wave, a new wave of rage filled her washing away the terror that took hold of her moments ago. Her mentor and her lover were now in Luna's grasp, and she was their only salvation now.

Show her true power...

Luna began to walk slowly towards her, still with the same nasty smile, readying her sword. "So Twilight Sparkle, the Element of Magic, how do you think it will feel when I plunge my blade right through your chest?" she said now getting closer to the standing unicorn, who only said nothing.

She hated that smile...

KILL HER!

Twilight's eyes flashed a bright white, her rage filling her and now was overflowing. She would show Luna what true pain was. What suffering really was. What power was...

Luna stopped in her tracks and looked at the now changing unicorn. She noticed something about it, the same feeling and power that was used to defeat her alter ego, but it was different. Twilight's eyes now burned white, a trail of whit mist flowing out of them. It was pure rage...pure power. Her coat slowly changed to a dark purple, the pink strand that ran through her mane and tail turned whit once again, and purple strands of magic radiated from her body. She felt this burning magic flow through her, and her rage being the bedrock for it all. She would protect Pinkie and Celestia, and kill Luna for everything she has taken from her. This power she felt in her was almost overwhelming, like she wanted to lose herself in it, but she knew what had happened last time. She could not afford making the same mistake. She had to stay in control. The ground beneath Twilight's hooves cracked under the sheer raw magic that now flowed through her.

Luna watched Twilight as the ground beneath her shook slightly. She noticed the incredible level of magic she was producing and the slight transformations that took place. Luna was now seeing the true power of Twilight's element. A power that she desired. Twilight stared at Luna, her now burning white eyes focused on her enemy.

"The Element of Magic reveals itself. Then this will be a good fight." Luna said as she positioned her sword and a dark aura surrounded her body, summoning her magic. Twilight took one step towards the dark princess, the ground cracking with her step.

"This ends here Luna. You have taken my friends from me, you have lied to me, you have betrayed me, you have hurt my mentor, and you have hurt my lover." Twilight declared. Her voice now sounded of two people in one body, on being Twilight's voice, the other being one that seemed sage like. Twilight positioned herself, battle ready. "It all ends here."

Luna now positioned herself, ready to attack and take what she believed was rightfully hers. She pointed her word in front of her and looked at Twilight.

"So be it then Twilight Sparkle. I was going to grant you a swift death, but I will make sure you suffer. I have waited too long for this."

Twilight only stood her ground, not faltering once under her threat of a painful death. She could not die, cannot die, will not die. She had to save Celestia and Pinkie. She had to save her friends, and end this son of a bitch.

"I will finally finish what I started, beginning with you" Luna said, pointing the tip of her dark blade right at the unicorn's direction.

Twilight's eyes grew brighter and they burned more rage within her. She narrowed her eyes at Luna, preparing for the coming fight.

"You can try" she said as they both charged at each other, Luna with her accursed blade, and an enraged unicorn, leaving only a purple stream of magic in her wake.

You can try....
