Author's Notes:

Hope you enjoy this chapter.

This one has given me more difficulty than all the other chapters combined.

So if there are mistakes I will try and fix them over the next few days.

Thanks for your patience.

A guard wearing sunglasses kept watch by a large gate to the water park. The sign above the gate says Closed for Renovation. He noticed someone approaching and straightened his posture.

“Excuse me, I am lost, can you help me find my way to the nearest bathroom?” Sonata said trying to look innocent.

“I cannot leave my post, you will have to find it on your own.” The guard said in a monotone voice.

Sonata looked annoyed and then wrapped her arms around her belly and bent forward.

“Oh the pain, I don’t think I can hold it much longer. Look unless you want me to make a mess right here, please help me find a bathroom.” She said with a fake moan.

“Hold on I will show you the way.” The guard growled, showing a fang and started to walk forward to her.

Kevin, Adagio and Aria were hiding behind a trash hopper on the side of the path, watching Sonata is standing there making a scene.

Just as the guard started walking past the trash, Kevin’s arm reached out quickly and grabbed him.

“GET OVER HERE!” He said in his best Scorpion impression and yanked the man slamming him into the metal trash hopper with a loud clang.

There was a visible dent where the man hit as he stumbled covering his face. Adagio acted quickly and touch him with the gem drawing out the green magic causing him fall unconscious.

“Good one Kevin give me five.” Sonata raised her hand and gave him a high five.

“P.U. let's get away from this garbage.” Aira pinched her nose, walking up to Sonata.

Kevin dragged the man behind the hopper out of sight. Adagio smiled and quickly walked up to the gate and looked up at the sign. She noticed a large lock on it and grabbed it looking at the keyhole.

“Kevin, did that man have the keys on him?” Adagio asked looking back.

“Yep,” Kevin answered running back holding a ring of keys he found on the man.

Adagio grabbed the ring of keys and tried them one at a time until she found the right one that unlocked the gate.

“I wish Rainbow and Fluttershy would have stayed with us,” Aria said looking at the gate.

“They have their own plans. But we need to have courage, and do what we can to help.” Adagio said tightening her fist in determination. She then opened the gate and walked in.

“Wow Adagio you have changed,” Sonata said walking forward.

Aira quickly followed them as Kevin closed the gate behind.

Rarity was on the roof of a trailer watching Pinkie from a distance. She spotted Fluttershy and Rainbow walked together. Then, using her legs, she jumped like a grasshopper and land in front of them with a thump.

Fluttershy stumbled back in surprise and stood behind Rainbow who adjusted her sunglasses.

“There you two are, did you finish with them?” Rarity asked showing her fangs.

Rainbow cleared her throat. “Why, why yes we did, I got Twilight and Applejack, and Fluttershy crushed the Dazzlings.”

“Did they suffer.” Rarity hissed looking at Fluttershy.

“It was horrible,” Fluttershy said, pushing up on her sunglasses swallowing hard.

“Excellent now we just have a small problem to take care of,” Rarity turned and noticed that Pinkie was missing. “Quickly we need to find Pinkie and get rid of her.” She started walking to the last known spot she saw here.

“Rid of her why?” Rainbow asked following along.

“How dense are you? Our Queen does not want Sunset to see her.” Rarity said stopped near the Fun House.

“Why don’t you look in here and we will check over there,” Fluttershy said looking at Rainbow who nodded back.

“Report back at once, if you find her.” Rarity went into the Fun House searching.

Rainbow and Fluttershy walked until they were out of sight.

“That was close.” Rainbow breathed in and pulled out a cellphone making a call. “Hello Applejack can you and Twilight meet us at the Fun House quickly, yes we found Rarity.”

Fluttershy looked around the corner and spotted Pinkie heading into the mirror maze.

“Pinkie it’s us, please come here.” Fluttershy waved motioning her to come, but Pinkie shook her head and ran inside. “Oh shoot she doesn’t trust us.” She said and looked back to Rainbow.

“Well, we do look the hells angels.” Rainbow tugged on her leather jet.

A few minutes later Rarity slowly walked out of the Fun House not looking happy at all. “What a waste of time. Now where are they?” She said, spotting Rainbow, who was smiling as she removed her sunglasses revealing her normal color eyes

“NOW!” Rainbow yelled out and Applejack grabbed Rarity from behind.

“I got you!” Applejack yelled out holding Rarity arms as she struggled to break free.

“Let me go.” Rarity yelled out showing her fangs ready to bite. He wings pushed against Applejack but she held on.

“Take is easy Rarity we are your friends,” Twilight said moving closer.

“Only the Queen matters, you are no friends of mine.” She hissed as her sunglasses dropped to the ground showing her glowing green eyes.

Twilight sighed and grabbed Rarity arm and closed her eyes channeling the last of her magic into her friend. Rarity stopped struggling as the green magic left her body in the form of a green mist. Her insect features fell off and disappeared.

“How do you feel?” Applejack asked as she let go.

“Embarrassed and what in the world am I wearing?” Rarity looked down noticing that she was all dressed in leather looking more like a goth right now. “Oh the horror, this must truly be a bad dream,” She said tugging at her leather jacket.

“Rarity welcome back...” Twilight said as she stumbled to keep her balanced and then fell over.

“Twilight!” Applejack ran over and kneeled down and helped her back onto her feet.

“I’m ok, just dizzy,” She said, leaning against Applejack.

“Sorry, I didn’t know what came over me.” Rarity apologized to them

“Don’t you worry none, once we find that Queen, Ah am going to kick her to the moon,” Applejack said with a determined look in her face.

“I may consider that, as an appropriate punishment, but my sister may have objections.” A tall lady approached them dressed in an elegant white and yellow dress. Her long hair was amber, green with purple and blue highlights that shimmered in the sunlight. On her head is a crown with a purple diamond that matched her necklace.

“Principal Celestia?” Rarity said and spotted Pinkie standing next to Celestia with a big grin.

“Not exactly,” Pinkie said as Twilight looked up and realized who it was.

“Princess Celestia you're here!” She was now full of energy, ran up to her and bowed.

“Indeed am Twilight, I have decided to lend a hoof into rescuing your friends and recovering my daughter,” She said in a gentle but authoritative manner.

“After you left Princess Celestia contacted me. I thought I was dreaming when she appeared in my mirror the first time.” Pinkie explained. “She asked me to come to the park and then to the mirrors.” She pointed building she came from and then showed them a purple diamond.

“I gave Pinkie the key to Equestria just in case something bad happened, I didn't want to risk Queen Crystallis getting her claws on it,” Twilight told to the others.

“With Pinkie’s help, I was able to cross over into your world,” Celestia smiled as she looked around. “Let us join the others and then we can finally put an end to this.”

"That may be a problem," Applejack said looking at a text message from Kevin.

“Who’s big idea was it to try and sneak in?” Aria yelled out with her hands and feet tied to the wall with webbing.

“I’m hungry, I wish I could go back and finish my tacos,” Sonata said as her stomach growled. She tugged on the webbing, but it would not budge.

“Let’s try to keep calm,” Adagio said also pulling her hands and fell trying to break free.

Sunset opened the door and walked into the room looking at the Dazzlings stuck to the wall full of webbing. ”Well, well, I thought you would be smarter than this,” She said with a smirk on her face.

“Where is Kevin?” Adagio asked, noticing that he was not in the same room as them.

“My mother requested that he be brought to her. Maybe she wants a new toy to play with.” Sunset said, walking closer to Adagio showing her fangs. “I still have my memories when me a Kevin would hook up after school and have fun.” She started to fondle Adagio breasts. “Would you like to hear?” Sunset teased her.

Adagio knew she was just trying to make her lose her cool. “No, but you can tell me about that girl named Pinkie the one who was always hugging you?” She said, ignoring her touches until Sunset squeezed hard looking angry.

“Leave Pinkie out of this.” Sunset backed off she growled.

“Oh, so that crazy girl with the pink curly hair likes you.” Aira looked at Sunset who started to clutch her chest.

Adagio looked at Sonata to motioned with her head to looking back to Sunset.

“Do you love her?” Sonata said, noticing that really caused a reaction.

“Shut up you know nothing about me!” Sunset yelled out as her wings unfolded.

“We know you have friends who are trying to rescue you no matter the risk,” Adagio said looking at Sunset in the eyes.

“They should not have come, my mother will get rid of them,” Sunset said, opening the door as she walked out.

“What about Pinkie are you going to let her get hurt as well?” Adagio yelled out as the door closed with a clank.

Sunset walked along the hallway which was covered in Changeling cement and bug wax. She was clutching her chest again, feeling conflicted inside. Then she stopped at a chamber that had the green gem that Kevin was carrying. Sci Twilight was examining it dressed in her lab coat. Her eye’s were green and fangs protruding from her mouth as she licked them.

“What have you discovered?” Sunset asked her trying to regain her composure.

“Very interesting this gem absorbs magic just a sponge, it reminds me of my equipment when it absorbed magic, but this has much greater capacity. Unfortunately, our Queen will not be able to use it since it would render her powerless.” Sci Twilight said and then walked to another table grabbing a necklace that she just finished assembling.

Chrysalis looked in disbelief at her mirror as it showed her Celestia walking with Twilight and her friends. “No, no NOO, This not happening,” She punched in the mirror cracking the glass.

“Since your rule is coming to an end mind letting me go?” Kevin said, struggling as he pulled on the webbing which was covering his entire body like a cocoon.

“Silence human!” Chrysalis yelled, looking over at the wall where Kevin was strung up.

She walked closer to look at him in the eyes and the opened her mouth and bit him on the neck.

“I heard of girls giving hickeys but this is ridiculous,” He grunted, feeling the cold magic trying to take him over.

Chrysalis backed off and looked him again noticing the glow in his eyes that just faded away. “You are very interesting human Kevin, the more I try, the more you are able to resist.” She walked back to her throne.

“Sorry to disappoint you, but I have had experience of being controlled by magic, I won’t let that happen again,” He said in a loud voice.
“It’s just a matter of time until I find a way,” Chrysalis said noticing that Twilight of this world was approaching.

Sci Twilight walked to the throne, holding a necklace with an orb in the middle of it. “My Queen, I have complete assembling what remains of the gems for you.” She walked forward and gave it to Chrysalis.

“Perhaps the day is not lost.” She stood up from her throne and grabbed the necklace and looked closer at the orb as it glowed. There were red and green fragments floated inside like a snow-globe.

“Nice necklace, I hope you strangle yourself with it,” Kevin said as he flexed more causing some of the webbing to be pulled free from the wall.

“My such strength you have for a human. But no I will not be the one wearing the necklace.” She smiled evilly looking at him.

“Are we just going to hang here until Twilight rescues us?” Sonata complained, looking more bored than anything else.

Adagio was listening quietly to the sound of running water nearby. That’s right, we are in the water park. She thought and then remembering Twilight words.

The magic was always there inside you. You were just were looking in the wrong place.

She looked over. “Aira can you reach my hand?” Reaching out to her.

“I’ll try.” Aira reached out stretching the webbing on her right arm until her hand grabbed Adagio.

“Good now try and grab Sonata’s hand,” Adagio said looking.

“What’s going on Adagio?” Sonata asked as her hand grabbed Aira’s.

“We are near water, let see if we still got it.” Adagio grinned and closed her eyes.

“Without are gems how can we?” Aira asked looking at Adagio.

"Look inside yourself." Adagio said and started humming a tune she has not tried in a very long time. Sonata looked at Aira, who nodded and they closed their eyes and started to hum along with Adagio. There humming echoed into the hallway and down into the drains.

“Chrysalis! Your reign of terror is over. Come out and face us” Princess Celestia yelled out looking at the twisted castle in front of her.

“That’s Queen Chrysalis!” She opened the two large doors and walked out with a small army of Changelings. Some walked on two legs and others flapped their wings. “I will not be defeated this time Princess. You are in my world now!” Chrysalis raised her bony finger at them and the Changelings charged.

Twilight looked at Celestia and nodded as she started to glow and ponied up.

Applejack, Rainbow, Fluttershy, Rarity and also Pinkie ponified which also changed their outfits to beautiful dresses that each matched their natural colors.

Celestia closed her eyes and moved with grace as her horn appeared followed by her wings and tail with matched her hair.

Applejack, Pinkie stood back to back as they took out the Changelings with kicks and flips. Trying their best to incapacitate each one. Rainbow, Fluttershy used their wings to fly over and take out the flyers by knocking them to the ground. Twilight and Rarity also battled trying to kick the feet out from the Changelings.

Celestia was watching Twilight and her friends battling for her. This brought back memories of battles past. So many of my ponies lost to countless battles, never again, I won’t allow it. She thought.

“Enough of this!” Celestia yelled out and her eyes glowed as she lifted off the ground. The magic from her body was bright like looking at the sun.

Changelings stopped attacking and looked up at Celestia like bugs to a bug zapper. But in this case, her magic was forcing them to change back into humans as Chrysalis magic was being forced out of their body.

Queen Chrysalis backed away feeling the magical pressure pushing against her. “Curse you and your elements of harmony!" She looked on as the last of her Changelings fell.

Celestia floated back to the ground and stumbled a bit feel dizzy from the amount of magic she just expanded. Chrysalis noticed and a grin grew on her face.

“Feel a little weak, there Princess, In this world, there is no tree of harmony to draw your magic from,” She said with a laugh.

“I still have more than enough magic to defeat you, now where is my daughter?” Celestia demanded as she started walking towards her.

“You must be mistaken, she is my daughter, isn't that right Sunset dear.” Chrysalis stepped aside as Sunset walked forward still in her demon form.

““Yes, mother,” Sunset looked at Celestia with glowing green eyes, then looked at Twilight and the others.

Celestia gasped, looking at Sunset seeing the anger in the eyes as her wings unfolded.

“Chrysalis you have gone for this time,” Celestia said, looking very angry, which made Chrysalis back up in fear.

“Sunset protect your mother!” She yelled out.

Sunset crooked horn started glowing with swirling red and green. Celestia power up her horn just as Sunset unleashed a blast of fire. She was able to deflect it into the sky.

“Get the people out of here!” Celestia yelled out deflecting another blast.

Twilight and the others started leading the confused people away from the water park. Some had to be dragged by Applejack and Rainbow. Applejack noticed that Pinkie was moving closer to Celestia.

“Pinkie come back here!” Applejack yelled out as she pulled someone to safety.

“I have to try and stop Sunset, She will listen to me!” Pinkie yelled back and stood behind Celestia.

Celestia looked behind her and on stopping Sunset. “This is very foolish child, you may share the power of the element of harmony but that alone may not be enough,” She said not sure how to fight back without hurting Sunset.

“I love her with all my heart, she just needs to remember that.” Pinkie walked in front of Celestia spreading her arms out.

Sunset was powering up another blast when she noticed Pinkie walking in front of Celestia.

“Sunset it’s me Pinkie remember,” She said in a loud voice.

“Pinkie, you need to get out of here, I can’t control myself,” Sunset said struggling trying to hold back.

“Please let us help you., I want the old Sunset back.” Pinkie had tears in her eyes.

Sunset felt a sharp pain in her chest and she bent over in pain. “I can’t, it’s inside of me aagh,” She yelled out in pain and the stood up shooting another blast of fire.

Celestia pushed Pinkie aside and took the blast head on which tossed her back 10 feet onto the ground. Her dress and hair singed but the force of hitting the hard ground hurt more.

Twilight ran back and to check on Celestia who was getting back on her feet.

“I’m fine Twilight, please get Pinkie away from her before she gets hurt.” Celestia said and looked at Sunset who was obviously in pain.

Twilight tried to grab Pinkie arm, but she pulled away and ran to Sunset. “Pinkie it is too dangerous, get back here!” She yelled out.

Sunset was getting ready to attack again when Pinkie ran up and grabbed her in wrapping her arms around her.

“Pinkie let go of me,” Sunset growled as her claws starting growing longer.

“No, I won’t let go, If you are going to hurt someone, then hurt me not the others!” She screamed out with tears in her eyes.

Pinkie’s body started glowing as her magic mingled with Sunset’s there was a flash of light and the world went dark for Sunset.

“Where am I?” Sunset said with a clear mind as she floated in space, with random mirrors of different shapes and sizes floating past her. She looked in one mirror and saw herself as a small filly by the desk. Twilight was there bouncing full of energy and stopped to help her studies.

“How can you be so smart, I have been trying to learn this all week,” Sunset said frustrated.

“There is a difference between memorizing and experience Sunset. Maybe you just need a more hooves on approach. I can help you after class if you want to?” Twilight smiled as her glassed slid forward on her muzzle.

“Sure what not I got nothing else to do.” Sunset smiled and pushed Twilight glasses back up on her face.

Sunset watched as another mirror floated by, this one showed Celestia curled up on a bed with a newborn with mango colored fur suckling on her. She hummed a gentle lullaby as the sound of explosions rocked the castle walls outside.

“Your majesty, Celestia dear the castle is not longer safe. Lord Tirek has joined forces with Queen Chrysalis, their armies are approaching.” A red color unicorn said as he removed his helmet.

“Starburst what kind of world have we brought our daughter into?” She looked at him with sadness.

“Your world my love, In time you will unite the kingdoms, and bring peace to Equestria.” He said and moved closer to nuzzle Celestia and then looked down at the newborn. “I wish I could be there to see her grown up and proud to be the daughter of Princess Celestia.” Starburst gently rubbed his nose on the newborn.

He stepped back and put his helmet back on. “It’s time for me to fulfill my duties and join the others in battle. I will give you the time you need to escape with our daughter.” Starburst looked at them both with his blue eyes.

“What name shall I give her?” Celestia asked him.

“Sunset” He looked out the window and then at them one last time as he left the room.

“Sunset Shimmer,” Celestia added the last name of her father. “I will watch over you always.” She looked out her window as the sun was currently stuck at dusk.

Another explosion happened nearby and the window cracked.

Sunset watched as the mirror floated away trying to grab it but it was out of reach.

Another mirror floated her way and she saw Pinkie.

“Sunset come back to me, come back to your friends.” Pinkie pleaded as the mirror floated by.

“No, don’t listen to her you're mine.” Another mirror floated into view this one had an ugly frame around it. Chrysalis said in her Equestrian form looking at her.

Then a different mirror came into view. This one shows Sunset is trying to swim towards a little boy who fell into the pond.

“Hang on, I’m coming.” She coughed treading water, it was deeper than she anticipated.

Suddenly someone jumped into the water in front of her and swam to the boy. He grabbed the boy and then swam back and grabbed Sunset’s arm, helping her back to edge. Coughing Sunset looked over as the man gave CPR to the boy until he started breathing and coughed up water. The boy’s grandmother ran up frantic, but relieved. The boy then started crying as he grabbed hold of her.

“Thank you so very much, both of you. I don’t know how he got away, he loves to catch frogs.” She said hugging the boy and scooped him up carrying him away.

“Not a problem madam, but please keep a closer eye on him.” He slicked his long black hard out of his eyes.
“I didn’t do anything.” Sunset tried to explain.

“You tried to and that’s what counts.” He then helped her to her feet. “My name is Kevin, what’s your name?”

“Sunset, Sunset Shimmer,” She said embarrassed.

“Well, then why don’t we find a place to dry off before the sun sets,” Kevin smirked.

A mirror floated her way, this one had Celestia crown as part of the frame.

“I’m so sorry Sunset, It was a chaotic time near the end of the war. I made a disparate decision” Celestia said as the scene played out in the mirror.

Celestia looked down at very young Sunset sleeping soundly on the silk red sheets in a cradle surrounded by golden diamonds.

“Please find her a home in which she can live a normal life. I don’t want my enemies to find out or they may try and use her against me,” She nuzzled Sunset one more time and touched the cradle with her horn. “It’s time for me to put an end to this war and unite the kingdoms,” A crystal dome encapsulates it and changed white looking like an egg. “Once peace returns to the land, I will find you again.” Celestia said and then looked at the gray earth pony with a straw hat, she hooked up the cart.

“Don’t ya worry none, Princess ah would give me mah life before allowing anything to happen to her.” She walked to the back the old castle and left.

Again Sunset tried to grab hold of the mirror, but it floated away.

“This is so touching.” A mirror floated into view with a very strange frame around it, in the mirror was Sensei Discord with a tissue blowing his nose.

“Sensei?” Sunset said as the mirror stopped in front of her.

“There you are fire head, enjoying your ride through your mind.” Discord reverted back to a draconequis. He smirked grabbing his remote changing the channels which caused different mirrors to zoom by rapidly. “Just like channel surfing your mind. So many shows, but I just can't find anything to watch.”

“You're really Discord, not just a mirror version?” Sunset realized feeling real stupid.

“There can only be one god of chaos, my dear, in this word or the next,” He switched to another mirror. ”Oh, another chick flick, just how many bars do you need to try on,” He watched as Sunset was looking at herself trying on different undergarments.

“Hey, that’s private!” Sunset protested, trying to grab the remote.

“I wonder if I can get NetFlicks in here.” He grinned and changed the channel showing Sunset laying on the ground with Pinkie holding her and Celestia next to her with her hand on Sunset chest. Celestia’s horn was glowing as she was trying to save her.

Discord climbed out of his mirror and stood next to Sunset then handed her the remote.

“What do I, do with this?” Sunset looked at him.

“It’s your mind, I’m just here for the show,” He pointed to the power button.

Sunset aimed the remote at the mirror, then pressed it and everything went blank.
