Prologue
Prologue
Deep within the forest, this was known as Everfree, a young dark blue female winged unicorn step in front of a large castle which was in ruins. She was hesitance at first but soon cast that away and entered the castle. As she walks in the old and collapsing hallway, a fade voice could be heard within the shadows. The young mare didn't listen to the voice as she continued down her path. As each step she took, the voice grew louder and louder, until it could finally be understood. The voice was calling out the young mare name and saying things like she will always be alone and no one cared for her. Along time ago, the mare would've believed this but now she knew this was false. Soon the young mare enters an old throne room and soon found what she was looking for. Standing in front of her was a broken and scatter armor. The same armor she once used but suddenly something happen. The armor started to leak s dark mist and soon the voice return as it took shape of a pony in shadows.
“...You finally return, Luna” smiled the shadow as it step forward “...We can be one again and destroy this pitiful world!”
Luna hover the armor in the air with her magic and with one strong thrust to the ground, she finally destroy the armor as it vanish into the darkness.
“I'll NEVER be part of you ever again!” spoke Luna as walk away from the spot where the armor once was “farewell...”
As Luna exited the castle, she could see the sun rising to the sky as the beautiful night she made, vanish and was replace with a beautiful golden sky but soon that sky vanish as the blue sky appeared once more. Luna could only smile at this beautiful day that her sister made but unknowing to her, so was her shadow as it gave off a dark aura.

Chapter 1
It was very lively today in ponyville as the princess who raise the moon during the night, was visiting ponyville today. Just outside of Sugar Cube Corner, a large group of town folks was trying to see into the store in order to see their dearest ruler but was kept back as the royal guards block their paths. Within the store, everypony was enjoying the party while Luna was speaking to the group who saved her from the darkness that took her over.
“Thank you” smiled Luna after she took a drink of her tea and continued to speak “thank you for saving me. I can never repay you for what you done. So please, ask me anything you want and I’ll try to fulfill your wishes.”
Without hesitating for a second, Rainbow Dash flew in front of Luna and quickly blurted “I WANT TO JOIN THE WONDERBOLTS!!!” in a very loud tone which made everypony in the store turn to the small group.
“Cool your jets, Dash!” ordered Applejack as she pulled Dash away from Luna face by grabbing her tail and quickly apologize for her friends manners.
Luna only smile as she said it was okay and quickly added “I'll contact the group owner and see if you can join, okay?”
Twilight and the others was exacting for Dash to go all fan girl crazy like what happen on Cloudsdale but to their surprise, Dash didn't as she shed a tear and thank Luna. Luna then turns to Rarity and asks for her wish.
“I always wanted to make a dress for your sister...so...” said Rarity as she started to flutter her eyelashes in hopes Luna will grant her wish.
Luna nodded but was a bit surprise as Rarity just shouted “YES!” in an unladylike way. Realizing what she did, Rarity quickly did damage control by saying “...ummm...thank you your highness.” as she blush in embarrassment.
Luna then went on to ask the others for their wishes but only Pinkie were the one who wanted something.
“I want to see my mom and dad again!” said Pinkie as she hop around Luna and kept speaking “and see my sisters as well! It’s been sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo (gasp*not Pinkie but me :P*)ooooooooooo long since we been together!”
“...I understand” whisper Luna as she knew how it feels to miss a family for so long.
As nightfall came, everypony at the party left and headed home. Rainbow Dash, Rarity and Pinkie will leave town in a few days as explained by Luna, who told them this before she left the store with Twilight. As Twilight and Luna walk down the dark sidewalk, they started to talk again as Luna brought up about paying them back for saving her.
“It's okay princess! I don't need anything” smiled Twilight as she face Luna as they kept walking “I have my friends and that's the greatest reward I ever got but thank you anyway.”
Luna was about to replied but until a dark roar shouted in anger, which scared both ponies. As they tried to find where the roar came from, Luna shadow stretch from its master and disappeared into Twilight shadow as Luna shadow return to normal. Suddenly, as fast it came, Twilight quickly thought of something. Almost like a voice told her too.
“...second thought, how about you send me the tomb about the four great temples of Equestria?” ask Twilight as she continued to walk with Luna.
Luna quickly remembers about the tomb and quickly asks why, which Twilight simply answered with “Research”.
“...well I can't hand that tomb to anypony but I can bend the rules for you.” said Luna as she give Twilight a smile before flying off to the night sky. Twilight was all alone now but some reason, she felt like she wasn't alone...like somepony was standing behind her and whispering something into her ear. It almost sounded like a “Thank you”.
***
The next few days later, Spike was caring for a sick Twilight as she fell ill after the party with Luna. Dash, Rarity and Pinkie wanted to stay in town, until she got better but Twilight quickly refuse and wanted them to go as planned. After they left on scheduled, Spike and Owlowiscious was trying to fix the library up as Twilight left it a mess after trying to find a cure for cold but in the end, she couldn't one and went to bed to sleep it off.
“...even when she sick, she can still make a mess!” said Spike as he pick up a few books.
“Who?” replied Owlowiscious as he landed on his bench pole.
“Twilight, that's who!” answered Spike as he place some books into rightful place “who do you think I was talking about?”
The pet owl answered Spike after cleaning his feathers “who!”
Spike quickly turned to the owl and quickly spoke “Whooves? You mean that doctor who hangs with Derpy in that blue phone booth? I wasn't talking about him!”
Owlowiscious simply replied with a “who?”
“Dr. Whooves!”
“Who?”
“Dr. Whooves! That's who!” shouted Spike in anger.
The owl didn't answered back which made Spike happy as he turn away from Owlowiscious but that’s when the owl said “who?” again.
“OH! ITS ON YOU LITT-” shouted Spike as he faces the owl but was quickly cut off as he heard Twilight.
“SSSSPPPPPIIIIIKKKKKKEEEEE!!!” shouted Twilight in anger as Spike and the owls fighting, woke her from her sleep “DON'T MAKE ME COME DOWN THERE!!!”
“sorrysorrysorrysorrysorry!” answered Spike as he started to clean the room even faster while Owlowiscious was helping Spike clean as he said “whowhowhowhowho!”
Twilight was able to find the strength to crack a smile as she heard Spike frustration with Owlowiscious and went back to sleep but as she slept peacefully in her bed, a dark aura appeared from the shadows and slowly reach Twilight. At that moment, it started to rain outside and with some thunder as today it was secluded by the higher ups in Cloudsdale. Soon the dark aura strike as a flash thunder appeared at that moment.
***
Meanwhile in the great library of Celestia castle, Luna walk down between each row of book but couldn't find the tomb she was looking for.
“Where is it?” whisper Luna as she check the last row of books in the history section.
“Need help my dear sister?”
Luna quickly jump like a scare cat as she heard her sister voice from behind. As she slowly turns around, Celestia hug her little sister and whisper into her ear.
“What are you up too, my dearest sister?” ask Celestia in a very cold but yet somehow in a warm tone.
Luna was lost for words as her big sister gave her the glare (that rivals Fluttershy's stare) as she broke off the hug. The only thing Luna could say was “...I'M LOOKING FOR THE TOMB THAT HAS THE INFORMATION ABOUT THE FOUR TEMPLES OF EQUESTRIA! DON'T BANISH ME TO THE MOON AGAIN!” cried Luna as she curl up in a ball. Celestia was surprise by this and quickly stroke her little sister mane.
“Luna, I would never do that to you (a second time). I was just wondering why you kept heading to the library these pass days. Nothing more, my dear sister.” said Celestia as she help her little sister up from the floor “now, if it’s the tomb of the four temples you are seeking, then here.”
Luna watch as Celestia summons the tomb from thin air with her magic and handed it over to her. The tomb cover had six ponies in white cloaks and in the middle was a pony but so many years of being use, the middle cover was compete worn out.
“There my sister but remembers this” said Celestia as her voice grew more serious as she kept speaking “NEVER! Let anypony use this tomb!”
“w-why is that, big s-sister?” ask Luna as she grew more scared of her sister serious tone.
Seeing and hearing her sister fear, Celestia spoke in a more warm and caring voice “It's just that if the tomb falls in the wrong hooves, our world will be DOOM!!!”.
Luna started to shake with fear as Celestia started to make spooky noise and scary faces but Celestia soon stop and laugh.
“I’m just kidding dear sister. It’s the only copy left and I don't want to anger Ms. Book Marker. You know how that battleaxe is” explain Celestia as her and Luna walk to the exit of the library.
Before Celestia could leave with her sister, a very old voice quickly shouted her name. As Celestia turn around, she could see an old light brown unicorn that had a white long hair and a cutie mark of a book mark.
“Oh! Hello Mrs. Marker. Ho-” said Celestia before she was cut off as Mrs. Marker place a log book in her face.
Luna could see her big sister blushing bright red as she read the log. Why was she blushing?
“You still didn't return the book called “101 ways to please yourse-” said Ms. Marker before Celestia put her hoof in her mouth. As Celestia face her little sister, she could see Luna hiding behind the tomb while blushing. There was a very awkward moment for both sisters, so Luna broke the awkwardness by just leaving without saying a thing. Celestia quickly turn to Ms. Marker and there were flames in her eyes.
“So I’m a battle ax!” shouted Ms. Marker.
“...oh you heard that....” replied Celestia as her anger faded and was replacing with embarrassment.
**
Later at ponyville, Spike and Owlowiscious finally finish cleaning the library and both of them was resting on the steps of the stairway that leads to Twilight room. Before Spike could drink some needed water, he felt something coming...a letter but this letter was big...
BURP
Puff
Bang!
AAAAAHHHHH!!!
A very old looking book came from the puff of smoke and fell on Spike toes which made him scream in great pain. Owlowiscious just laugh at this funny moment but soon stop as Spike pick up the tomb and soon notice a note in the front page.
“What's this?” whispered Spike as he read the note as it says: “Dear Twilight. Here the tomb that you wanted. I really hope this helps your research. By the way, what is your research? I hope you replied very soon. From Luna.”
Spike almost drops the book as he realizes this was from Luna herself. It was very and I do mean VERY rare to get a letter and something from her, since she doesn't really leave the castle, unless if it’s to rise the moon or visit the ones who saved her.
“TWILIGHT!” shouted Spike as he ran to her bedroom door and started to pound it as he yelled “LUNA SENT YOU A BOOK! SOMETHING ABOUT FOUR TEMPLES AN-”.
Before Spike could finish that word, he was suddenly blasted back down stairs as Twilight door open with such fury. As Spike was getting up, Owlowiscious soon felt a dark feeling as he watch Twilight as she walk down the stairs and over to Spike. The pet owl knew something was wrong with his master...VERY wrong.
“Sorry if I woke you, Twilight but Lu-” explained Spike before he was cut off again as Twilight use her magic to choke him.
“Where is it?!” demanded Twilight in a very cold voice as she increase the pressure on his throat even more.
Spike couldn't believe what was happening right now. He never knew that Twilight could get so mad before! Unable to speak, Spike pointed to the stand where Twilight always reads her books. Without saying a word, Twilight toss Spike to the wall and walk over to the stand and started reading.
“...I’m alright if you wanted to know...” snorted Spike as he stood up and walk over to Twilight.
The baby dragon could see very old writing and symbols as Twilight turn each page. The writing was in old Equestria language from days old but what really got Spike focus were the pictures. Five dark orbs as they surround a dark unicorn with red eyes. Above the unicorn head was an orb but this orb was crack and releasing a dark mist from it. Spike was going to ask Twilight about this book but Twilight quickly slam the book shut and turn to him.
“Spike!” shouted Twilight in a dark voice.
“Y-YES!” replied Spike as Twilight evil glare scared him.
“Take a letter! NOW!”
With great speed, Spike got a feather pen and a scroll and started to write down what Twilight was saying as she walk over to the window and stare off as the rain got heavy.
Dear former teacher Celestia
I here by, quit as your faithful student. Hear my words you foolish princess! I will destroy your world and this time, no one will stop me since I was the one who killed your father and mother so many years ago. Yes, it’s I. Remember when we first met on that day? Outside of the Moon temple before you sealed us into that moon. I will force you to watch your prefect world as it burns to ashes. Don't worry, I'll end your suffering after your world is gone. Now, there another reason why I’m sending you this letter! I'm giving you a chance to stop me. I'm heading to Everfree underground temple. Until we meet again, my old teacher.
From your unfaithful and former student, Twilight Sparkle
PS: say thank you to Luna for me. The tomb she gave me really did help a lot. She was always a foolish little mare. I also hope to see her again as well.
Spike was confused and shock by this letter and didn't want to send it but Twilight controls his body and against his will, she sent the letter. After the letter was sent, Twilight went to her closet and put on a black cloak that Zecora gave her a few weeks ago and walk outside.
“SPIKE!” shouted Twilight as she just stood there in the rain “LETS GO!”
Like a trained dog, Spike quickly went to her side and left to the forest. The forest known as Everfree.
***
It was pure dark. Nothing but the darkness. No light, no sounds...anything at all. Just nothing but darkness but soon a voice was heard within the darkness.
“Twilight....”
“Huh?” whispered Twilight as she just appeared within the darkness “Who's there?”
Soon the darkness faded and Twilight soon found herself in ponyville...what's left of it. All the buildings are in ruins or complete destroy while the green grass is complete burned. As Twilight look up to the gray sky, she could see the sun and the moon are scatter across the sky.
“Where am I?” thought Twilight to herself as she scan the area around her again “What happen here!?”
“Your within the darkness, Twilight Sparkle” called out a old female voice from behind.
As Twilight quickly turns around, she could see a mid-twenty female purple unicorn. This unicorn had a black mane and tail and was wearing a long black jacket, which you couldn't see her cutie mark.
“Who are you!?” demanded Twilight “...and what happen to ponyville?”
The unicorn spoke her name but some reason, Twilight couldn't hear it but she could hear what the unicorn said next as clear as day.
“You destroy this town and the whole world...there nothing left but the darkness”.

Chapter2
Chapter 2
Near the forest of Everfree, an orange earth pony known as Applejack was running toward a large tree house as the rain started to get even heavier. As she almost reaches the house, the front door quickly opens.
“Sorry I'm late, Flu-” said AJ before she was cut off as a group of chickens came flying out and hit her in the face.
As AJ blew away a few feathers from her nose, she soon heard her baby sister, Applebloom as she started to call the chickens.
“Scoot! Scootaloo!” called out Applebloom as she ran to the door but stop calling as she saw her big sister “Applejack!”
“Hey little partner, what did all those chickens came from?” ask AJ as she search for any sign of them but couldn't find any of them.
Before the young filly could answer, the Pegasus known as Fluttershy came to the door and shouted each chicken’s name. Soon enough, each chicken return and soon became frozen with fear as they stare into their master eyes...the STARE!
“BACK TO YOUR CAGES!” said the Pegasus as she increase the power of the stare, which made the chickens take off with great speed, that it left behind a puff of smoke and a few feathers.
Applebloom was all amaze by "The Stare Master" and her powerful stare but AJ wasn't amaze at all...she was missing?
“Big sis?” called out the little filly as her and Fluttershy search the area, until they found her...
“Oh my...” whispered Fluttershy as she saw AJ in a chicken cage and shriving with fear with the other chickens.
Sometime later, AJ finally snap out of the stare command and was sitting at the table with Fluttershy and enjoying some tea as the two talks.
“I'm so sorry Applejack, I didn't mean to give you the stare as well...” spoke the Pegasus as she hid her face with her pink mane.
After drinking her tea, AJ quickly waved it off and said “It's okay sugar cube. I know you didn't mean too but...” trailed off AJ as she blush in embarrassment.
“Don't worry, I won't tell anypony what happen.” smiled Fluttershy as she remembers that funny scene.
AJ sigh in relief and thank Fluttershy before her and Fluttershy notice something...it was quiet...too quiet! AJ stood from her chair and walk over to the next room and she quickly smiled as she saw her baby sister sleeping next to the fireplace. Fluttershy entered the room and smiled as well as she saw her pet bunny Angel, sleeping next to the small filly.
“Well, I better take her home.” explained AJ as she stroke her little sister's red mane and continued to speak “I was already late picking her up and I don't want to bother you anymore, Fluttershy.”
Fluttershy walk over to AJ and spoke as she turns to the window “You’re leaving in this weather?”
“...now you say it...” whispered AJ as she saw the raining getting heavier than before “...I'll stay if you don't mind?”
“I don't mind AJ. Your my friend after all!” smiled Fluttershy before she was spook as a sound of thunder roar across the sky “...please stay!” beg the Pegasus as she grab AJ front hooves and made puppies eyes.
“...I'll stay then.” replied the earth pony as she calm her friend down.
***
Meanwhile within the forest, Twilight and Spike was walking on a very old pathway as the rain was getting heavy but not as heavy like outside of the forest. Spike was shriving with coldness as he walk behind Twilight, who was wearing a black cloak. The baby dragon wanted to ask her why he didn't had a cloak like hers but didn't as he remembered that time in the library and just kept walking. The two walk on the path for a good half hour until Twilight felt something and stop in her tracks. Spike did the same and asks what’s wrong but Twilight quickly yelled at him, whom forces Spike to shut up and just watch as Twilight was surround with a dark aura.
“RISE! NOW!” screamed Twilight as she unleashed the dark aura into the ground.
Spike was confused by this but he soon felt a powerful quake as the ground in front of them started to rise. The baby dragon watches in amazement while Twilight just laughs at the sight. What rose from the ground was a cave and its entrance was build like a snake. Without saying a word, Twilight entered the cave and vanishes into the shadows. Spike wanted to stay behind, heck he wanted to run away but something force him to enter the cave...maybe he didn't want to leave Twilight all alone.
“...the things I do for love...” whispered Spike as he vanishes into the shadows as well.
***
At that time, in Fluttershy living room where AJ was sleeping, a voice was calling her to wake up. AJ soon started to sweat as something appeared in her dream. Two eyes...two red eyes staring into her like daggers.
“HEY!” shouted the voice from before as the two red eyes vanish “WAKE UP! WAKE UP NOW!”
Suddenly, AJ found herself floating above the forest of Everfree and she soon spotted somepony and a dragon as they entered a cave.
“Was that Spike and Twilight?” thought AJ before she found herself on top of an apple tree “What the hay!? Where am I!?” shouted AJ as she glare at the endless sea of tall apple trees.
“You finally heard my voice, partner. I was getting worried there”.
AJ turn around and saw a female orange earth pony. This earth pony was wearing an old and worn out cowboy hat and an old fashion cowboy clothes. Her long and untied mane and tail was a dark brown color and her cutie mark couldn't be seen as the pants were hiding it.
“Just who are you and where am I?” ask AJ.
“...you’re pulling my leg, right partner?” grin the cowgirl as she tip her hat up.
“I'm NOT joking here! Answer me!” shouted AJ in anger as she tip her hat forward and was ready for a fight.
The unknown pony just sigh in disappoint and was about to answer before a bright light covered the whole area.
“Oh horseshoes! Look!” called out the nameless pony as AJ vanish into the light “Stop Twilight! She's going to release the element of lies! Hurr....” that was all AJ could hear before she woke up from her dream.
“What in Texas was that all about?” whispered AJ as she wipe away the sweat from her forehead but something caught her focus as she felt something on her neck. It was her necklace of honesty and it was glowing. Before she could question it, an unknown force pulled her out from Fluttershy sleeping bag and then outside. Suddenly, AJ notice somepony standing in the rain and staring into the forest. It was Fluttershy.
“Don't you hear it, Applejack?” ask Fluttershy as she notices AJ next to her “...a whisper...an evil whisper coming from the forest...”
AJ shut her eyes and tried to block out the rain and the thunder as she focus on the forest and soon enough, she heard a whisper. As she focuses even harder, she could make out the whisper. It was calling her name. Then within her mind, an evil glare appeared and screams out that she was a liar.
“AAAHHHHH!” screamed AJ as she open her eyes and started to breath hard.
As the earth pony turn to Fluttershy, she notice she was missing. Not only that but AJ found herself within the forest and in front of her was a cave. Before she could question how she got here, her necklace started to glow even brighter. Somehow, it was telling her to enter the cave, of which she did.
Meanwhile, Fluttershy was still in the rain as she continued to stare into the forest. At times, she could feel an evil pressure coming from within the ground and other times from the forest. Whatever she was feeling, it was getting stronger as time went on.
“...giggle at the ghostly...” whispered Fluttershy as she started to sing.
***
During that time in Canterlot, Rarity who was in Celestia castle was walking back and forth as she waited for the princess who raised the sun, to come out of the changing room. This was Rarity greatest moment in her career. If the princess hates her dress, then Rarity career goes down the drain as the word spreads of Celestia and her hated dress.
“WHATS TAKING HER SO LONG!?” panic Rarity as she grab her little sister “MAYBE THE DRESS IS TOO SMALL!?”
“Calm down big sis!” shouted Sweetie Belle as she slap her sister in the face “The Rarity I know won't crack under pressure like this!”
Hearing her kind sister words, Rarity quickly calm down and hug her dearest little sister...but she started to freak out again as Sweetie Belle admitted she might of have got the fitting wrong. As Belle was trying to calm her sister down again, Luna enter the room and soon realize why her big sister was taking so long.
“Calm down Ms. Rarity. She always does this when trying on new dresses” explained Luna as she gave Rarity a very warm and caring smile, which melted away her worries.
“...t-thank you, Princess Luna” bowed Rarity.
Before Luna could say anything, Celestia called out for Rarity as she was ready to tell her if she like it or not. Rarity leans forward as she waited for the princess answer. As Rarity and the others waited, a magic smoke appeared from outside and enter the changing room.
“...t-this is...t-this is...” said Celestia as she slowly open the door.
“YES!?” ask Rarity as her eyes was filled with hope.
“HORRIBLE!!!” shouted Celestia as she slam the door open and was wearing a very, very beautiful dress that fits her very well, while she was holding a letter with her magic.
If anypony knows Rarity very well, they will know how she will react to this ill news. She fainted...as Belle was trying to try to wake her sister, Celestia quickly handed Luna the letter, which in turn made Luna filled with fear.
“...t-this can't be...I destroyed her....how!?”
“You mean she was still alive and you didn't tell ME!!!” yelled Celestia in great anger as she heard her sister “Why!?”
Luna drops the letter and face away from her big sister and confess why she didn't tell her.
Flashback
It was a dark night as Luna flew above the clouds. As she passes the heaven of clouds, she found herself in the endless sea of stars as she flew on. In front of her was the moon she came to know so well. It was like a second home to her. As she landed on the white dusty ground, she shut her eyes and waited for something...or somepony...
“You came I see...” said a very old female voice from nowhere.
Luna opens her eyes and standing in front of her was a cloak Pegasus. Before Luna could say something, she soon heard a whisper within in her mind. It soon grew louder and louder...it was calling her name...
“She calling you, young Luna” answered the Pegasus as she notice the voice as well “She's still alive. You mustn't go alone!”
“...I must...” whispered Luna as she tried to block out the voice “...I must end this!”
Luna turns around to fly off but was surprised to see the Pegasus standing in her way.
“Who are you and why did you call me here?” ask Luna as she step back a little in fear.
“...I'm no one anymore, just a relic from the past...” whispered the Pegasus as she stares off into the sea of stars “...I called you here in order to stop you from seeing her again...but it looks like your mind is set on seeing her...”
The Pegasus suddenly just vanishes but her voice still could be heard as she made a warning “...if you fail to destroy her in her must weakest form, then everything and everypony will turn to ashes from her darkness...”
Luna nodded as she took off to Everfree forest...where the voice was coming from.
End of flashback
“...I thought I could destroy her, since it was my fault what happen one thousand years ago and I didn't want to bother you or Twilight and her friends with this...” confess Luna as lower her head in shame “...I should be the only one to fix this...”.
Suddenly, Luna felt a very warm wing on her back as it covered her. It was Celestia as she hugs her sister.
“...You don't have to carry the whole world on your shoulders my dearest sister...” smiled Celestia as she continued to speak “You have ponies to count on like me and Twilight and the others for help!”
Hearing her big sister kind words made Luna cry a few tears. She should of have listened to the cloak Pegasus in the first place but now...
“...I'm sorry what happened to Twilight...please forgive me big sister...” cried Luna as she couldn't look into her sister sad eyes as she read the letter again.
Upon hearing Twilight's name, Rarity quickly stood up from the floor as Belle was tossed off from her sister body and landed in a tall box of clothing.
“What happen to Twilight your highness!?”
Celestia quickly remembered that Rarity was here and was hesitating to answer one of Twilight's good friends but soon found the strength.
“...Sit down miss Rarity, this story is going to be long in order for you to understand...” said Celestia in very serious tone.
Rarity sat down and heard on as Celestia spoke while Luna helps Belle out of the box that she was trap in.
***
Twilight couldn't understand and didn't want to understand, what this nameless unicorn said. She couldn't have destroyed ponyville or the whole planet...can she? Sure she had unbelievable raw magic within her but she knew that was the element of magic power and not her. This was one of the things that race through her mind.
“Your wrong, Twilight Sparkle!” shouted the female unicorn in anger “The raw power you hold is yours and yours alone!”
Twilight was about to question how this nameless unicorn did knew what she was thinking but the nameless unicorn horn started to glow as her use her magic. This magic the unicorn had was very powerful as it gave off a very strong aura. Before you knew it, millions of swords fell from the gray sky and crash around ponyville. As it stops raining, the unicorn once again spoke as she vanishes and reappeared on an undamaged roof of the town hall “The test will begin!”
“...test?” ask Twilight as she was confuse by this.
“Across ponyville, one of these swords is your true self!” explained the unicorn “When you find it, then we can head to the underground temple in Neverfree forest.”
Twilight was even more confuse by the unicorn but she never quit on a test before, so she pick up a short sword with her magic and turn to the unicorn and simply said “This one?”.
The unicorn just smile as she shouted “Don't ask me!” that's when she pointed behind Twilight “Ask her!”
Twilight turn around and quickly jump back as a white sword almost cut her head off. As she regroups, she could see a unicorn covered in a very black aura as it held its sword in its mouth. Its eyes was bright yellow and its mane and tail was long and sporting two strip colors, one white and the other was dark blue.
“What in Celestia name is that!” shouted Twilight to the nameless unicorn in fear and anger.
The nameless unicorn just said “Fight it!” and watches as the dark unicorn swung its sword again. Twilight quickly raised her sword in order to block it but it didn't help at all. Her sword scatters and vanishes as the dark unicorn blade made contact. Not want to be cut in half or lose a limb, Twilight quickly pick up two swords with her magic and swung it at the attacking unicorn. Both blades just broke apart as it made contact with the unicorn neck and shoulder and vanish like the first sword. Seeing this pattern, Twilight quickly ran off while summoning each sword to her as the dark unicorn gave chase and swung its sword at Twilight as it got closer. Each sword Twilight use to block the attack was destroying like the others.
“...Where is it!?” thought Twilight as she kept running for her life “She said among these swords is the true me...the only sword to work against that thing!”
The nameless unicorn jump on the flagpole of the town hall and continuing to watch as Twilight tried to fight back with her magic but it didn't work and just ran off again.
“Your magic won't work here, Twilight Sparkle...” whispered the unicorn as she look around the destroyed ponyville and quickly saw small parts fading into a black mist “...hurry! We're running out of time!”
End of chapter2
Chapter3
Chapter 3
Twilight quickly duck inside a barrel and hope that the dark unicorn wouldn't find her. Soon she heard hooves steps and the noise of a sword being dragged on the ground as it got closer. Twilight close her eyes and prayed that thing will just move on, which in her luck, it did. As the dark unicorn hooves steps vanish, Twilight let a tiny sigh and started to think. She has no idea how many swords she pick up during her escape from that thing but she guess it has to be around twenty-nine.
“Twenty-nine useless swords...and it rained like what? A billion?” thought Twilight as she mess up her mane in frustration “I'm never going to find it while that thing is out there!”
Realizing this wasn't getting her anywhere, Twilight cleared her mind and started to think again. The only thing that went through her mind was only one thing and that was “What is my true self?” As she thought even more, an image was slowly fading into her mind....that's when it hit her!
“THE LIBRARY!” yelled Twilight as she got it but that's when a white sword slice the top of the barrel and revealed Twilight to the dark unicorn and the only thing she could say was “...hi...”
The nameless unicorn watch as Twilight dash from the dark unicorn as it cut the barrel in half and took chase again. Soon the nameless unicorn realizes where Twilight was heading and quickly took off. As Twilight made a sharp turn, she could see her house in the distance and quickly smiled with joy but that smiled quickly vanish as the dark unicorn blasted right through a destroyed building and block her path. Thinking on her hooves, she uses her magic to disappeared and reappeared behind the unicorn.
“Why didn't I did that before!?” ask Twilight to herself in anger as she was getting tier of running and quickly teleported into her house.
Near her reading stand was a beautiful and golden sword as it was cover in a light, which was coming from a crack in the roof. As Twilight grabs it with her mouth, the dark unicorn slice opens the door and slowly walks inside. It was surprise to see Twilight holding the golden sword but it quickly charge at her. This time, Twilight didn't run, she just stood there and waited for her chance to strike as the dark unicorn got even closer. As she saw her chance, she swung her sword.
***
Meanwhile, AJ was running for her life as a giant boulder was rolling behind her in great speed. As she ran, she step on a hidden switch and it active a storm of spike darts.
“OH HORSESHOES!” swore AJ as she dodges each darts while keeping her speed the same.
As she entered the exit of the hallway, the boulder came to a crashing stop as the doorway was too small for it to pass through. As AJ lean on the wall to catch her breath, she active an other trap. The floor under her vanishes and was replacing with a pit of snakes.
“SNAKES! WHY DOES IT ALWAYS HAVE TO BE SNAKES!” cried AJ as took out her rope and swung it to a statue of a earth pony and it grab on to its neck.
As she climbed out of the pit, AJ collapse to the stone floor and tried to recover her strength but something quickly made her rise to her hooves and force her to walk down the tunnel. It was like somepony was helping her...that’s when she heard the voice again.
“I'll take it from here, partner.” said the familiar voice from under AJ “You just rest, and you’re going to need it!”
“W-What th-” that was all AJ said as she didn't felt her legs anymore and was like she was being carried but she wasn't.
As minutes pass by, AJ finally ask the voice something as she felt rested and up to strength again “Who are you?”
Within the darkness, AJ could hear a slight laughter then followed by a loud sigh. That's when AJ legs stop moving on their own and the voice spoke again “I reckon you could have figured that out on your own but it looks like I was wrong...”
“What do you mean?” quickly replied AJ as she felt her legs returning and fearing the voice will vanish.
“My name is ______ but I bet you can't hear it right?”
AJ did a quick nod and was hoping to hear the voice again but it didn't return...but an other voice took its place.
“...YOUR A LIAR!” screamed the new voice as it roar across the tunnel and into AJ mind.
As AJ open her eyes, she found herself in ponyville again. Before she could question how she got there, Applebloom came to her side and started to push her to the large group of town folks as they gather in the town square.
“Applebloom?” cried AJ as two large colts grab her and put her on the stage and next to her was a cage as it was cover with a large blanket.
Soon the folks started to cheer as AJ was giving a rock and was soon ask to remove the blanket from the cage. Having no real choice, AJ removed the blanket and soon saw a badly hurt unicorn but AJ couldn't make it out which it was as the unicorn was covered in a black shadow. Then that's when it happen, the unicorn was hit with a storm of rocks. Realizing it was coming from the town folks and even Applebloom, she quickly stops them.
“STOP!” yelled AJ at the top of her lungs “WHAT IN APPLE PIE ARE YOU PONIES DOING!?”
Then that's when the unicorn called out for AJ “...A-Applejack...please tell...them the truth!”
AJ turn to the cage and she could have sworn she knew that voice but couldn't place her hat on it from who it belong to “...w-what do you mean?” replied AJ as she got closer to the cage.
“...Tell them you and the others were the ones who ran off and caused the princess her sickness...please...” cried the unicorn as it grab on to AJ shoulders.
Before AJ could answer the unicorn, the town folks soon turn into evil shadows and asking if the unicorn was telling the truth or not?. That's when something took over her body and spoke in her place.
“She just is lying! Don't believe a word from that dirty snake!” said AJ as she tosses the rock that she was holding and hit the unicorn right in the forehead.
That's when the shadows started to laugh and cheer as they threw even more rocks. AJ quickly got control of her body as she saw that the shadow unicorn was as the unicorn was covered in blood.
“TWILIGHT!!!” screamed AJ as she started to freak out and cry at the same time.
“...w-why...aren't we friends...” whispered Twilight as she shed a bloody tear.
AJ could only scream at the top of her lungs as she just sat there...within the darkness as it consume her.
***
Twilight was thrown to the wall as her golden sword was destroyed after it made contact with the dark unicorn. Before she could move, the unicorn pointed its blade in front of her face and smiled.
“...b-but I thought I was right...” cried Twilight as she shake with fear.
Then that's when the nameless unicorn appeared next to Twilight and spoke “You thought wrong, you foolish filly!”
Suddenly, almost like time slowed down as the dark unicorn swung its sword at Twilight, the nameless unicorn started to speak again but with fear in her voice “Please! Think before it’s too late!”
Twilight quickly tried to figure out what made her as the white sword slowly reach her neck. As she thought hard, everything she liked went through her mind but nothing but books pop into her mind...until something appeared into her mind...five ponies pop into her thoughts...
“MY FRIENDS!” shouted Twilight as her element of magic crown appeared and covered her with a bright purple aura.
Seeing this, the nameless unicorn smiled with pride and joy as she watch as something came forth from Twilight's heart. It was a hilt.
“TAKE THIS!” yelled Twilight as she pulled out a rusted long sword from within her heart with her magic and unleashed a rainbow wave attack as she yelled “YUUJON WAVE!”.
The dark unicorn was able to block the wave somehow and was toss across the room and even blasted right through the wall of the library and into the street. As Twilight's crown vanishes, a dark voice called out her name as she stood up. The purple unicorn froze with great shock and confusing as she stared the one who called out her name...standing in the street as its dark aura vanish, was Twilight herself but her purple coat was white as snow and her eyes was yellow like a wild cat.
“Next time, I won't lose!” smiled the white Twilight as she just vanish into thin air “Count on it!”
As her shock and confusing finally pass, Twilight quickly turn to the nameless unicorn and started to ask a whole bunch of questions like where is she, how did she do that attack with the sword, who or what was that thing just now and so on. That's when the nameless unicorn just covered Twilight's mouth and sighed as she was getting sick of all of the questions and just answered with “Later!” Hearing this, Twilight started to talk in anger but it was all block out as the nameless unicorn kept her hoof on Twilight's mouth. As Twilight finally calm down, the nameless unicorn remove her hoof and spoke “We better get going to Neverfree forest, before this town is consume...”
“Consume?” simply said Twilight as she tip her head to the side.
The nameless unicorn put her hoof on Twilight's shoulder and both of them disappeared and reappeared near the entrance of the forest. That's when Twilight could see a dark mist covering the ruin ponyville.
“This mist won't stop until everything is consume by it” explained the nameless unicorn as she push Twilight into the forest and kept speaking “If you fail to active the temple of Neverfree before the mist reach it, then say goodbye of ever returning home, Twilight Sparkle”.
“WHAT!?” shouted Twilight in fear as she heard the unicorn.
“You heard me, Twilight Sparkle” said the unicorn in a cold tone.
A few minutes pass and Twilight was examining the rusty sword that came from her heart and notices something on the hilt guard of the blade. It was her cutie mark but it was completely covered in rust. Seeing this as she walk behind Twilight, the unicorn finally explained something to her.
“That sword your holding with your magic, is the key of getting you home but as you can see from its pitiful look, it can't do nothing right now.” spoke the unicorn as she handed a brown sheathe to Twilight.
“...so that's why we're heading to the temple then?” questioned Twilight as she place the blade inside the sheathe and place it on her back.
“Yes but also to reactive the temple. If you reactive the temple, then the mist will be push back.”.
“What is this mist?” ask Twilight as she remembered the ruin ponyville being covered in it “...and what did you mean back there, how or why did I destroyed the whole world?”
Twilight waited for an answer from her but she never got one as the unicorn just kept walking. As they walk through the forest, Twilight could hear whispers of different voices but what scared her the most was one of the voices...it was her voice.
“Don't be afraid, Twilight Sparkle.” answered the unicorn as she turn to her “They won't hurt you.”
With no other reason, Twilight believed her and kept walking but a little faster as she wanted to leave this forest as quick as she can. Soon enough, they found a cave and the nameless unicorn explained it’s the entrance of the temple and both entered.
Twilight didn't know how long it took to reach the heart of the temple but they finally arrived. The heart of the temple was a very wide and huge chamber with a large door on the other side of the room. The door had a symbol of some kind within the middle and symbols of trees surround it. As Twilight step forward, a dark aura appeared in front of the door.
***
The blood...the look in her eyes...it didn't left AJ mind as she lay there, in the endless dark void as the image of Twilight burned into her mind. So much races through AJ mind that she felt something...she was smiling...she was going insane. Soon she started to laugh as her sane side was burning away into the darkness...until she heard a voice.
“Snap out of it partner!” ordered the voice as a bright light covered the void “Your strong enough not to lose your mind! I should know...”
Hearing the voice as the light blinded her, AJ return to her normal self and found herself in a wide and large chamber. It was the heart of the temple and across from her was Spike and a cloaked unicorn which she knew it was Twilight. AJ could see as Twilight was using her magic to break open a large door while Spike look on. As AJ called out for Spike and Twilight, a powerful dark and angry aura unleashed from Twilight. This dark aura was very strong that it started to shake the ground. AJ watch as Twilight turn around and was now facing her but was still using her magic to open the door.
“So you came then, liar!” spoke Twilight in great anger “You come to die first, I take it?”
Just by seeing Twilight, AJ soon felt great fear as it attack her body. Every inch of her was shaking like if there was an earthquake going on.
“What's a matter, liar?” teased Twilight as she return facing the door while Spike ran over to AJ “Are you an afraid of me? Well good because you and the rest of my former friends are going to pay...”
Finally as Twilight face away from her, the fear quickly vanish and AJ was able to speak again “What do you mean former friends and what are you doing down here?” ask AJ as Twilight almost broke through the door.
“I'm going to burn this world into ashes but first I need the others to do this!” laugh Twilight in an evil way.
Just before the door gave way to Twilight's magic, a cowboy rope just tie around Twilight's neck and pulled her away from the door. As Twilight hit the floor, her magic on the door vanish as she lost focus on it. Before she could get up, AJ quickly push her down with one leg and spoke “Look sugar cube, I don't know what's wrong with you but if you’re going to hurt everypony then I'm going to stop you!”
Twilight tried to use her magic to get AJ off but AJ element necklace was protecting her.
“...You’re lucky I'm not at full power, you liar!” snorted Twilight as she look away.
Hearing the word "liar" again, AJ tip her hat back in confusing and ask why Twilight kept calling her that and what did she mean, not at full power?
“...You saw it didn't you? How you and the town folks threw rocks at me! You lied to them!” shouted Twilight as red tears ran down her cheeks “YOU AND THE OTHERS SAID I WAS YOUR FRIEND! BUT YOU AND THE OTHER LEFT ME!!!” shouted Twilight as her anger grew “...left me to suffer...all alone...” whispered Twilight as she buried her face into the ground.
AJ remembered the event but it wasn't real...was it? While Spike was confuse from the whole thing. Before AJ or Spike could ask a question, the broken door that Twilight was breaking through, started to be bang on, almost like something was pounding it. Hearing the bangs, Twilight quickly raised her face from the ground and smiled as the door finally caved in. As the door hit the ground, a dark mist came shooting out and covered the ground. Before AJ could react, a black lasso soared out of the room where the door once stood and grab her by the neck and soon blasted her with a black lightning bolt and then toss her across the room and into the wall. As AJ slide down the wall, a figured walk out of the other room and help Twilight up and threw away the rope that AJ use to tie her with. Spike was lost for words as he saw this figure as it walk pass him and over to AJ. As AJ open her eyes, she was shock to see herself. This version of her had a black mane and red eyes.
“Hello sour cube.” smiled the black mane AJ.
***
The dark aura slowly form into Twilight herself but covered in blood as the real Twilight look on. The blood Twilight raised her head and was now face to face with Twilight. Twilight could see the pain of sadness and hate in her copy.
“...don't active the temple!” begged the blood Twilight as she started to cry blood from her hurt eyes “Please! I beg of you!”
Twilight turned to the nameless unicorn for help but she couldn't be found anywhere. So Twilight face her blood covered self and answered her “...s-sorry but I most. If I don't then I can't go home.”.
“...but you'll just bring more pain to me...” cried the blood Twilight as she summon a freaking huge sword from the floor “...so I can't allow you to do so!”
Twilight quickly drew her sword as her fake self swung its sword. Both blades made contact and sparks soar from the clash. Twilight was surprise to see her rusty sword didn't scatter apart from being hit by that huge sword or how she pushing back the huge sword.
“It's a part of you!” answered the nameless unicorn within Twilight's mind “As long as your heart is true and believe in the magic of friendship, then it will never let you down.”
“Thanks for the head up...oh by the way, where are you anyway!?” shouted Twilight in anger as she broke the sword lock and did a dodge roll to the left as the blood Twilight swung her sword again.
“If you’re asking for help...then call my name. It’s _______!” explained the nameless unicorn.
Again, Twilight couldn't hear the nameless unicorn name and just kept fighting her fake self. Seeing that Twilight still couldn't hear her name, the nameless unicorn just sighs in disappointment. As Twilight dodge again as her fake self did a jump slash, she charged at her fake self and was able to cut her on the face. As her fake self step back in pain, Twilight did a follow up slash by cutting her fake self right arm and the lower part of her body. Twilight was suddenly surprise to see not blood but black mist as it shot out of the fake Twilight wounds.
***
Meanwhile, AJ was buck in the face by her evil self and crash into an other wall. As she stood up, a black lasso grabs her neck again and was toss into the air again.
“Hope you’re ready sour cube!” teased the evil AJ as she spun the real AJ around and around and blasting the lasso with black lighting.
AJ couldn't do anything to stop this attack and was helpless. The evil AJ stop sending the black lighting and started to raise AJ to the ceiling of the chamber, until AJ started to be dragged on the ceiling in a large circle. This didn't last long as she was toss and slam into the ground below. As she tried to get free, the evil AJ started to slam her to the ground, over and over again. Finally, the evil AJ stop and toss AJ into a wall again but with so much force that AJ became stuck in the wall. As she tried to get out of the wall, two strong hooves crash into her, as the evil AJ started to buck her four times and then pulled her out and toss her to the floor. AJ was beyond hurt as her whole body was broken and covered in blood. Noticing that her hat was next to her since it fell off during her little ride in the air, she slowly reach for it but was quickly denied as the evil AJ stomp on her hoof. Seeing AJ scream in great pain, Spike quickly face Twilight and beg her to stop this but he could see her in great pain as she was holding her head.
***
The blood Twilight started to swing her huge sword like a mad colt and the only thing that the real Twilight could do was just block. Each clash that the blades made when they made contact unleashed colorful sparks. Twilight started to feel worn down and didn't want to drag out this fight any longer, so she pushes back her fake self and unleashed the attack she did back in the ruin ponyville.
“Yuujou wave!” shouted Twilight as she sent the rainbow wave at the blood covered Twilight.
The rainbow wave hit and dragged the fake Twilight as she block it but her sword scatter a part and she was dragged into the large door and she just fell to the ground. The real Twilight fell to her knees as the attack she unleashed drains her strength.
“...never...trust your f-friends...” whispered the fake Twilight as she faded away into thin air.
Twilight stood up as the large door opened and a warm light covered her and the whole room. Outside of the forest, the symbol of honesty appeared. As the light faded, Twilight could see her rusted sword was less rusty and a glowing star on the sword hilt while the other four stars lay dark and rusted.
“You done well, Twilight Sparkle” said the nameless unicorn as she reappeared next to her.
Twilight quickly turn to her and slam her sword into ground and shouted “I thought you said, if I reactive the temple, the sword will recover? It’s still rusted!”.
“...I was hoping this temple will fully recover it but it looks we need to head to the other temples as well.” explained the unicorn as she walk away.
But Twilight quickly blocked her path and shouted in anger as she said “We're not leaving until you tell me what's going on and how I got here!”
“...fine, I will explain everything I know....”
***
Spike was freaking out as Twilight just fainted for no real reason and was trying to wake her. Hearing all the fuss, the evil AJ shouted to him that she was coming but first she needed to finish up here.
“This will be a lot more fun, if you put up a good fight, sour cube but it’s time to end this!” said the evil AJ as she rose her front leg and was about crash AJ head in but something happen...
AJ open her good eye and she could see everything was moving slowly. Then that's when she heard the voice again.
“Hurry! Call my name!” ordered the voice as time started to move faster “I can't slow down time for much longer!”
AJ shut her eye and soon found herself back in the sea of large apple trees. Standing in front of her was the mare from before. She was calling out her name but AJ couldn't hear her....until she heard Twilight voice as she whispered AJ name while she was still pass out. Finally, AJ heard the brown mane pony name.
As time return to normal speed, AJ quickly opened her eyes and a powerful red aura blasted the evil AJ off and across the room. As she recovered, she could see AJ stand up and shout “Element release!” The red aura sent out a powerful blinded light and as it faded, AJ pick up her hat and put it on as she was wearing a cowboy outfit and on her side was a rope/whip weapon and the hilt it had was an apple diamond.
“Shoujiki!” grin AJ as she tips her hat forward.
The evil AJ tip her hat forward and grin as well “I reckon this fight is going to be fun after all, right sour cube?”.
“You bet, you dirty snake imposter!” snorted AJ as she spit and drew her rope.
Evil AJ drew her rope too and both ponies stare each other down and waited for one of them to make a move. Finally, both of them attack at the same time by whipping their ropes at each other. Both ropes clash at each other and gave off powerful shock waves as they made contact. Suddenly, AJ rope got pass the black rope and whip the evil AJ in the face. As she screamed in pain, a black mist shot out of the wound but it quickly faded as the wound healed. Now fire in her eyes, the evil AJ filled her rope with very powerful dark energy. Seeing this, AJ did the same but her rope was filled with white energy. As both ropes were max out with energy, both ponies unleashed it at each other as they swung their weapons. Both ropes clash at each other and created a large explosion which made the chamber collapse on to itself.
Somewhere in Everfree forest, a bright flash appeared and three figures fell to the ground. It was Evil AJ, Spike and Twilight.
“w-what just happen?” ask Spike as he rubs his butt.
“I reckon it was Me.” said Evil AJ as she pointed to Twilight who was still pass out.
Spike was confuse why this AJ would say “me” as she pointed to Twilight but that didn't matter right, what matter was if Twilight was okay?
“We'll be fine, sour cube” explained AJ as she watch as Spike was trying to wake Twilight “But this is your chance to leave you know.”
Spike quickly turn to evil AJ and had tears in his eyes as he spoke “I can't leave her! I would never forgive myself, Applejack!”.
“Hold on, cry baby! My name is Kcajelppa, got it!” snorted KE in anger.
“Kca...what? Is that even a real name?” thought Spike as he turn to Twilight and hope she wakes up soon “...Please Twilight, what's wrong with you?”.
Within the entrance of the temple, a cloak figured came walking out and was carrying a knock out Applejack as the rain finally stop.
End of chapter 3
Chapter4
Chapter 4
Above a sea of clouds, two white male Pegasus soldiers were pulling a small carriage as they flew across the blue sky. Within the carriage was Rarity, her little sister and a light yellow male Pegasus soldier, who had a black mane and tail and had a scar on his left eye. The soldier was in deep thought after hearing Rarity's story. Finally, the soldier spoke up as he turns to the window.
“...Can you explain this again?” ask the soldier as he was still confused by the whole thing “...it’s just this...its weird...”
Rarity nodded and she cleared her throat before she explained again “Like I said, Mr. Raynor...”
“Hold on!” said Raynor as he cut her off “Just call me plain Raynor. Ok?”
With that said, Rarity continued what Celestia and Luna told her....
Flashback
1000 years ago
It was a dark and cold night as a young Celestia was getting ready to raise the sun when morning came. As she stood outside of the castle, she looked up to the sky and was amazed by her little sister beautiful night. The stars were very bright tonight and so were the moon as it slowly passes the night sky. A few hours pass and Celestia notice something about the moon and the stars. They were still in the same spot from before. Celestia open her wings and took off to find her little sister.
Meanwhile, Luna was standing in front of a large temple which was known as the moon temple. Sitting on top of the temple was a large steel box and place around it was paper seals.
“Destroy the seal...” whispered a dark voice as Luna walk up to the steps of the temple “...we'll make your kingdom love your night...”
Luna stop before walking up the steps and wonder if this was right? Not lowering the moon and stepping hoof on a forbidden temple. Before she can think again, the left side of her face became black and her left eye grew red. Soon that half of her face spoke “Nonsense! What you’re doing is right! Nopony cared for you like I do!”
“...I guess...” replied Luna in sadness.
“Remember the day when you found me?” ask the other side.
Luna remembered that day. She was going to move the moon like always but on this night, when she landed on the moon, she found a black orb. This orb was leaking a black mist and there was a symbol...but Luna couldn't remember what it look like. As she pick up the orb with her magic, the orb form into a ball of black mist and shot into her body. Luna didn't feel any pain or anything but there was a voice within her mind. Since that day, the voice been telling Luna that nopony or even her big sister didn't love her or her beautiful night.
“...yes, I remember...” whispered Luna as she started to climb the steps again “...you’re the only one who loves my wonderful night...”
“...yes and soon everypony will, when you set me free....” smiled the other half as Luna almost reaches the top.
Before she could reach the top, her big sister landed in front of her and had a upset look as she spoke “Why aren't you moving the night, my dear sister?”.
Luna didn't look into her sister eyes as she answered her “...My night will stay forever in the sky, so everypony will love and worship my beautiful night, like how they love and worship your beautiful day!”
“What are you saying, my sister?” ask Celestia “Everypony loves your nig-”.
“LIES!” screamed Luna as a dark aura covered her “NOPONY CARES FOR MY NIGHT! NOT EVEN YOU MY BIG SISTER!”
Celestia was surprised by this outburst and this evil aura as it covered her little sister. Before she could speak again, Celestia was picking up by Luna's magic and was toss out of the way. Celestia was able to recover in mid-air and returned to Luna and block her path again.
“STOP RIGHT NOW!” shouted Celestia in great anger as she covered Luna with her magic.
Luna couldn't move as Celestia started to bring her back down from the temple. As she tried to get free, the dark voice spoke to her once again “...call out my name...”
Luna quickly opened her eyes and shouted out the voices name but Celestia couldn't hear it as a loud explosion rocked the area as it came from Luna as she broke Celestia magic grip on her. As Celestia opened her eyes, she found herself staring into a dark and evil looking mare.
“Who are you and where's my little sister?” demanded Celestia as she glare at the evil looking mare.
The mare just laugh and grabbed Celestia with her magic and started to crush her as she spoke her name “My name is Nightmare Moon and I'm your little sister.”
Celestia couldn't believe this! How could this thing be her sister? Before she could ask this question to Nightmare Moon, her element of magic crown, appeared on her head and blasted a rainbow wave at Nightmare. Nightmare was able to block it but she lost her focus on Celestia which broke the magic hold on her. Suddenly, all five orbs of the elements of Harmony appeared around Nightmare and pin her with a rainbow light. Celestia step forward to her sister but quickly step back as Nightmare unleashed a powerful magic storm. Lightning bolts rage around Nightmare and damaged everything around it. Celestia called out her sister name, so she can stop this storm but Nightmare just laughed.
“Please dear sister!” cried Celestia as her crown protected her from the lightning bolts “Stop this storm!”
“Why should I?” ask Nightmare as she grin at Celestia “I'm going to burn this so called perfect world to the ground and destroy everypony that hurt me, like you my old teacher...”.
“Teacher?” whispered Celestia as she heard Nightmare “What do you mean, teacher?”
“STOP PLAYING DUMB!” screamed Nightmare as her magic raged even more “YOU AND MY SO CALLED FRIENDS, LEFT ME ALL ALONE AND DESTROYED MY LIFE!”
Celestia was complete confuse by this and couldn't answer. She believes Luna or now known as Nightmare, has gone crazy or something. Even if this was her sister, she needed to stop her at all cost as Luna's magic storm was getting more powerful and started to cover the night sky but she couldn't kill her own sister...
“WHEN I FIND THE REST OF ME! I'LL KILL YOU FIRST” screamed Nightmare as she started to get free from the rainbow light.
Seeing this, Celestia quickly thought on her hoofs and spotted the moon. An idea came into her mind and she quickly gathered all her magic into her horn and pointed it to the moon. Nightmare saw this and quickly tried to get free but it was too late. Celestia and with the power of the elements of harmony, blasted a rainbow beam at Nightmare and she slowly started to fade away as a shadow slowly appeared on the moon surface.
“...I'll be back...” smiled Nightmare as she almost disappeared “...pray and hope I'll never escape, my old teacher...because if I do...” said Nightmare as she finally disappeared.
End of flashback
“After that, Celestia went and did some research on the moon temple and found that her dead father and mother sealed away a great evil into five temples across our land. This thing that infected Luna was the sixth evil. Celestia believe if this evil recovers its missing parts, it might destroy the whole world.” explained Rarity.
Raynor understood everything that Rarity said and even about the letter that Twilight had sent but it's still didn't make any sense. Why did this thing called Celestia a teacher and why sends a message to warn the princess about what it was doing after infecting Twilight. So many questions but no answers to them...but there was one thing that still bothers him.
“Okay, I understand everything now but there only one thing I don't get...” said Raynor after sighing.
“What?” simply ask Rarity.
“Shouldn't there be more soldiers with you? Sure, I’m the best in my squad but if this thing has this much power, shouldn't you have more help?” ask Raynor as he rose one eyebrow.
Raynor was surprised as Rarity started to laugh. As she finally stop, she answered his question “Oh honey! My friends and I can handle this mess. Remember, my friends and I are the holders of the elements of Harmony!”
Raynor was about to say something, until Sweetie Belle cut him off and shouted that they're back. Back home in ponyville.
***
Meanwhile, Twilight was shock to find this world she found herself in, was her own mind. What more shocking was what the nameless unicorn said after that.
“So your saying, that you’re the element of magic itself?” ask Twilight, in order to make sure she heard right.
“Yes” simply said the nameless unicorn.
“So, my mind is-”.
“Well our mind, since I am part of you after all” added the unicorn after she cut off Twilight.
“So, our mind is being taking over by some kind of evil?”
“Yes. The other versions of me fought this evil before and seal it away but somehow...”
“It's free again and it took over my...I mean our body” said Twilight as she finish the unicorn sentence.
The unicorn and Twilight stood up from the floor and started to head for the exit as they continued to talk.
“These temples, what are they anyway?” ask Twilight.
“The five temples are what keep our powers in check. This evil deactivated the temples and now our inner world is falling apart as our power rage on. If we don't stop this, everything that is us, will disappear into the mist of this darkness” explained the unicorn as her and Twilight exited the temple and found themselves back in the forest of Neverfree.
Twilight soon heard the voices from before, within the forest and quickly felt scared again but the nameless unicorn ease her fear by explaining this forest was where her secrets are kept. After calming down, Twilight had to ask one more thing.
“Back inside of the temple, that version of myself that attack...what was it?”
The unicorn rubs her chin for a few seconds and answered Twilight question “To tell you the truth, I have no idea but I did sense it was a part of you in some way...”
A little upset by this answer, Twilight ask an other and final question “Why can't I hear your name?”
“It's very simple...” said the unicorn as she summon her magic “...your just deaf” smiled the unicorn as her and Twilight vanish in a bright flash.
***
“...hey!”
“HEY! WAKE UP!”
“...not now Applebloom...I’m too tired....” whispered AJ as she turns on her side.
“Applebloom?” said the tiny voice in surprise “I'm nothing like our little sister!” replied the tiny voice in anger.
AJ didn't hear this as she return sleeping but she quickly woke as she felt a strong kick to her nose.
“WHAT THE HAY!?” shouted AJ as she hold her nose “WHO JUST KICK ME!?”
Suddenly, AJ found herself in an old looking house. The place had seen better days from what AJ could see. Before she could get out of bed, a tiny face of a brown mane female earth pony, who was wearing a cowboy hat, pop in front of her eyes.
"That was me, partner!” smiled the tiny pony “Happy to se-whoa!” shouted the pony as AJ screamed and fell out of bed.
The tiny pony was able to hold on to AJ head as they hit the floor and sigh as AJ was rubbing her back.
“What's in apple seed is wrong with you girl?” ask the pony as she hop off of AJ head and landed on the bed “It's like you never saw a pony before.”.
“What are you talking about? I never seen a tiny pony like you before, Shoujiki” said AJ as she stared at the tiny pony “Who are you?”
The tiny pony just sighs and said “What are you talking about? You just said my name.” pointed out the pony as she tip her hat forward and tried to go to sleep.
“Huh? I never said...” that was all AJ said before she just realizes it, this tiny pony was right “Your Shoujiki....the same one who kept calling me...”
“BINGO!” shouted Shoujiki as she tips her upward.
“Who or what are you?” ask AJ as Shoujiki jump back on to her head.
“I'm you in a way...” said Shoujiki as she started to explained to AJ about everything that the nameless unicorn told Twilight, about how she is the element of honesty itself and the sea of apple trees was AJ inner world.
“I reckon it must be true but why are you so small?” ask AJ.
Shoujiki jump from AJ head and landed on a table that was nearby and pointed to the chair. On the head of the chair was a red rope and the end of the rope on both sides was green.
“Since you called my name and did the element release...”
“What now?” spoke AJ in confusing.
“Element release is when you use my full power. Anyway, since you use the element release, I took form but as this rope. See, this tiny body is just an avatar, while the rope is my connection to the outside world and...”
“...and your real body is back in my head or something?” added AJ as she believes she got what Shoujiki was trying to say.
“Eeyup!” smiled Shoujiki.
“I see you’re up, dears” said an old voice from the doorway of this room. AJ and Shoujiki turn to where the voice came from and spotted a cloak Pegasus as she brought some apples for the girls.

During this time, KcajElppa or KE for short, was carrying the pass out Twilight on her back while Spike look on from behind. The baby dragon could see Twilight as she started to cry in her sleep. Spike could only wonder what she was dreaming...
***
Deep within the forest of Everfree, a purple female unicorn that was covered in open cuts as blood ooze out of the wounds was running as fast as her legs could take her. Not too far from behind her was a bright red and orange light. Soon voices could be heard as the lights got closer to the unicorn. Feeling worn out and badly hurt, the unicorn couldn't run anymore and hided inside a tree log. As she hid there, the lights that were chasing her soon turn into fire. It was torches and holding them was a few ponies from Ponyville and leading them was their new mayor, Applejack.
“Hurry up, you slow pokes!” order AJ as she stop in front of the tree log “we're losing that dirty snake!”
The unicorn soon heard the town folks as they stop in front of AJ and ask what direction their target went.
“Twilight hasn’t gone too far, since she badly hurt and stuff.” explained AJ “I want two groups to spit up and look for her!”
Soon the large group of town folks became two small groups and took off to find Twilight. AJ stayed behind in order to rest but soon heard a noise within the tree log that Twilight was hiding in and grin evilly as she spoke “Trap like a RAT!”
Twilight place her hooves on her eyes and prayed that AJ won't find her because she couldn't handle a other event that happen a few hours ago...being hit by a storm of rocks as they been thrown by the town folks...and some by her so called friends...
“Please...” cried Twilight as she whispered “...it wasn't my fault...”

Chapter 5
It was a strong down pour as it started to rain in Everfree forest. The wild animals dash for cover but they wasn't running because of the rain, no, it was because of the one sided fight that was happening within the forest.
“P-please...” cried Twilight, who was badly beating up, was trying to crawl away from AJ but couldn't as AJ stomp on to Twilight dirty tail.
“SHUT UP!” shouted AJ as she punch Twilight in the face “I'm tired of your whining!” AJ bit on Twilight's tail and started to drag her back to Ponyville.
It was quiet as AJ drag Twilight back. The only sound was the rain as it hit the ground and trees. AJ turn her head and she could see Twilight on her side. The rain washes away the dirt and blood from her coat and her wounds can clearly be seen on her. AJ quickly face away as Twilight spoke.
“...w-why?” whispered Twilight as tears ran down her cheeks “...why you and the others lied to everypony?” Twilight raised her head and she found a hoof in the face as AJ kick her.
“Just shut up already!” mumbled AJ as she continued to pull Twilight “No pony will believe you!” snorted AJ as she kick Twilight on her flank.
As they continued to Ponyville, Twilight close her eyes and shed a tear. On Twilight's cutie mark, the right top white star became black and was releasing a tiny steam of black smoke.
“...She a liar...” whispered a voice in Twilight mind “...She was never honest...”
Twilight opened her eyes and a glow of purple but yet a tiny bit of blackness, shot out of eyes and in a flash, she was gone. Leaving AJ alone and swearing to no one.
Outside of the forest, Twilight opens her eyes and with her blur vision, she could see somepony wearing a white jacket, was standing in front of her. She quickly rubs her eyes and was surprise as she didn't find anypony there...just a white long sword...
“Twilight...” called out a voice as she walks to it “Twilight...”
End of flashback
“Finally we're awake!” smiled KE as she saw Twilight waking up “We had a nice sleep?” teased KE as she help Twilight from her strew bed.
“I'm fine...but where are we?” ask Twilight as she notice she was in a nice looking room.
“We're in an inn. We're in the town called “Ashville”. Spike is in the town square, looking for her.” grin KE as she started to fade “We're too weak to use the cloud walking spell, so we ask Spike to find her. The one who took our place...” she lowers her hat and spoke for the last time as she vanish into Twilight “...our place at our former teacher side...”
“TRIXIE!” shouted Twilight in great rage as Trixie and Spike entered the room.
“Yes, it's I! The great an-AAAAAHHHHHH!” screamed Trixie as a purple aura surrounded her neck and started to crush it.
“YOUR GOING TO PAY!” shouted Twilight in a demonic voice but her anger quickly vanish as Spike jump on to her and started to cry as he beg her to stop. Twilight snorted and let Trixie go and turned to the window. In the reflecting of the window was Twilight but yet it wasn't...
***
“Something wrong, Twilight Sparkle?” asks the nameless unicorn as she watched as Twilight was staring into a window of a destroyed store.
Twilight could swear she heard Spike just now but quickly blush it off as she answered the unicorn “I’m fine. Anyway, the next temple is in Cloudsdale?” questioned Twilight as she scan the destroyed cloud city “…are you sure?”
“Yes, it is. It’s within the Stormsdale cloud base.” Explained the unicorn as she taps the cloud floor “The entrance stood be in the city square.”
Twilight placed her hoof on the cloud floor and soon felt something. Like great hate of something…then that’s when she heard her own voice, as it shouted random stuff. As Twilight turned to the unicorn, she was quickly met with a white blade, as it cut Twilight on the cheek.
“You again!” yelled Twilight in anger as she saw her white version self as she jump back, in order to have distance between her and her foe “Where’s the unicorn!?” demanded Twilight as she didn’t seen her anywhere.
The white version of Twilight slammed her sword into the ground and smiled evilly as she spoke “You haven’t learned her name yet, I see! Good!” White Twilight started to laugh as a white aura covered her.
Seeing this, Twilight quickly prepare for anything as she drew her sword and went into defense mode.
“You shouldn’t worry about her, Twilight!” shouted White Twilight as she place her hoof on the tip of her sword hilt “You should be more worry about yourself!” smiled White Twilight as the white aura started to give off a white steam “NOW! TAKE THIS! YUUJOU WAVE!” shouted White Twilight as she pulled out the sword with her magic and unleashed a white energy wave.
Acting quickly, Twilight unleashed Yuujou wave, in order to counter this attack. As both Yuujou attacks clash into each other, it quickly created a huge explosion.
As the smoke was clearing, White Twilight withdrew her sword and scanned the area as she didn’t spot Twilight anywhere. Finally when the smoke was gone, White Twilight jump into the air and hovered there.
“You can’t hide from me, Twilight!” shouted White Twilight “I will find you and when I do, I WILL BE KING!” roar White Twilight as she just disappeared into thin air.
Seeing it was safe, Twilight pop out from a cardboard box, that was near a destroyed packing store, and sigh in relief. Twilight walk over to the area where the Yuujou waves clashes with each other and was shock and amazed at the large crater that was left behind.
“Who is that unicorn?” questioned Twilight “She looks just like me…”
"Who am I? How can you ask such a stupid question? I am who I am!"
Twilight quickly turned around and block White Twilight sword. Both unicorns were in a weapon lock as they stared each other down.
“You thought hiding in a box would help you? Please! You’re not a snake or anything!” grin White Twilight “NOW! FIGHT ME FOR THE CROWN!” shouted White Twilight as she broke the weapon lock and blasted Twilight away with her white aura.
Twilight was toss into a white stone pillar and somehow survived as she was stuck within it. As blooded drip down her forehead, she could make out a figure as it stood in front of her.
“Need help?” said the figure as Twilight knew right away it was the nameless unicorn “Or you got this?” smirk the unicorn.
“W-Where were you!?” growled Twilight in anger “Who the hay is that thing!?” demanded Twilight as she tried to get out of the surface of the pillar “She going on about a king and a crown!?”
The nameless unicorn didn’t answer and just said “So that’s a yes on the help then?”
“JUST HELP ME!” shouted Twilight as steam pour out of her ears.
“Then just call out my name, Twilight Sparkle!” replied the unicorn as she hovered there “its _______!”
Like before, Twilight couldn’t hear the name and just shouted in anger. As Twilight finally stops screaming, the nameless unicorn sighs and vanishes into thin air.
“WAIT! CO-” that was all Twilight could say as White Twilight teleported in front of her and quickly stab her in the chest.
“Your weak, Twilight Sparkle!” frowned White Twilight as she dig her sword even more into Twilight’s chest “My power is wasted on you!” said White Twilight as the color of her sword, started to form Twilight white.
Twilight lowered her head and soon felt her body and mind slowly vanishing as the whiteness covered her face. Soon her memories started to flash in her mind as the whiteness entered her eyes. White Twilight smiled as she saw Twilight’s sclera turned black and her irises slowly turning yellow.
“Your crown is mine, Twilight Sparkle!” laughed White Twilight as a crown was forming on her head “When I’m king! I will kill everything! Starting with your foolish frien-” that was all White Twilight could say, as Twilight quickly raised her head and grabbed White Twilight’s sword.
“NEVER!” roar Twilight as the whiteness completely vanished from her body, which in turn made the forming crown vanish from White Twilight’s head.
“Impossible!” whispered White Twilight as Twilight pulled out the sword from her chest and blasted White Twilight away with her purple aura.
Twilight summoned her sword and vanishes into thin air. White Twilight was surprised by this and tried to find her but she soon found Twilight as she reappeared behind her and slash her back.
“Damn you!” shouted White Twilight as she swung her sword “GIVE ME MY CROWN!” screamed a piss off White Twilight.
Twilight said nothing as she block the sword and quickly bash it away from White Twilight’s hooves. She then blasted her evil self into the street below with her magic and quickly raised her sword as purple energy gathered around it.
“YUUJOU TENSHO!” roar Twilight as she unleashed a huge rainbow wave.
White Twilight just smiled as the wave of energy consumes her. Far from the city, a huge explosion could be seen as it lit up the gray sky. As it vanishes, Twilight closed her eyes and fell to the huge crater that was made from the explosion.
“Got you!” said the nameless unicorn as she teleported in front of Twilight and quickly saved her from the fall.
As she set her down on the floor, the unicorn could hear laugher as she turned to the center of the crater. Standing there was White Twilight.
As White Twilight was floating toward the unicorn, she started to clap as she spoke “She’s strong…train her well…because…” smiled White Twilight as she started to disappear “Because one day, that power will be all mine! Count on it, Ma-“.
The nameless unicorn just said nothing as she watches as White Twilight completely vanish into thin air. With her gone, the unicorn could see a cave within the center of the crater and placed Twilight on her back and entered the cave.
“I will Thgiliwt but you’ll never become free. Count on that.” whispered the nameless unicorn as her and Twilight vanished into the darkness of the cave.

Chapter 6
chapter 6
“Eeyup.” Said Big Mac as he buck an apple tree and then turned to Rarity and Sweetie Belle.
Rarity and Belle said thank you and took off to the town. As they ran to town, Rarity could only wonder in her mind, why haven’t AJ and Applebloom returned from Fluttershy’s place?
Meanwhile, Raynor finally made it to Fluttershy’s place and soon knock on the door. There was no answer and as he opened the door, he could see there was no one in the living room.
“Ms. Shy?” called out Raynor as he entered the room “Are you here? I’ve been sent from Princess Celestia, in order to find your friend, Twilight.”
“Sorry mate but she’s not here.” Called out a British male voice “She left with AJ little sister, on an important mission from her.”
Raynor quickly drew his sword as somepony entered the living room from the kitchen. Standing before him was a brown earth pony, wearing a light brown jacket and blue tie and his cutie mark was an hourglass.
“Put that sword away, Raynor. There’s no need for it.” Smiled the earth pony as he walk over to him “Well, not now away.”
“Who are you!?” demanded Raynor as he place the blade near the earth pony face “Where’s Ms. Shy!? What have you done with her!?”
The earth pony slowly push the sword away and spoke in a very calm voice “Like I said before, she’s on an important mission for her.” The earth pony quickly answered as Raynor was about to speak again “She has no name anymore from where she came from, but don’t worry, her and I are on your side, Raynor.”
Raynor lower his sword but was still ready for anything as he spoke “Okay, but where is she and how do you know my name?” ask Raynor as he watch as the earth pony took something out from his coat pocket, it was a small device.
“What are you talking about? We…oh right!” laugh the earth pony “Silly me. We met before…well now we've met…look never mind about that.” The earth pony quickly pulled Raynor outside and pointed the small device into the forest “The temple that holds the orb of lies has been destroyed and the orb has been taken by Twilight!”
“Twilight!?” spoke Raynor in shock.
“Yes and now the mist is leaking out as we speak!” said the earth pony as the device started to flash and beep very fast “Here it comes! Let’s go!” ordered the pony as he pulled on Raynor’s jacket.
Before Raynor could say anything, a black mist soar out of the forest and started to cover everything as it grew near them. He could see that the forest was disappearing as it was cover by the weird mist. Not wanting to end up like the forest, Raynor and the earth pony took off to the town as fast as they could.

“This is so awesome! Heeee!” cried Rainbow Dash as she held her official Wonderbolt suit in her hooves “This must be a dream! It has to be!” Rainbow pulled down the zipper and started to put her suit on and as she did, she heard a voice calling out her name “Who said that!?” shouted Dash as she stop putting her suit on.
“…Hey!” called out the voice “Can you hear me!?”
Rainbow quickly searches the locker room but found nopony. The voice was still calling out for her but Dash had no idea where it was coming from.
“Dash?”
“WHAT!?” shouted Rainbow as she covered her ears “WHAT IS IT!?”
“…S-Sorry, Dash.” Said a hurt female voice as it came from behind Dash.
Dash quickly remembered that voice and turn to see Spitfire, who was a little confused and hurt from her random outburst. Seeing this, Dash quickly went into recovery mode.
“Sorry Spitfire, just a little on edge.” Spoke Dash as she put on a fake smile for her.
“I understand, Dash. I was the same way too.” Smiled Spitfire “When you’re ready, everypony is waiting at the training field. So hurry up!”
Dash nodded and watches as Spitfire left the locker room and was all alone now…or was she?
“She’s cute!”
“WHO SAID THAT!?” shouted Dash as she quickly scan the room again “COME OUT NOW!”
A few minutes pass and with no answer or any signs of a other pony in the room, Dash finally put on her suit and stared into the mirror, to make sure her goggles was on right. As she checks, she felt something behind her and quickly turned to find nothing. As she sighs, within the mirror, her reflects turned around and frowned as her mane started to changed colors and grew longer.
“She can hardly hear me…” whispered the reflecting as it returned to normal.
***
As Raynor and the earth pony finally made it out of the forest and near ponyville, the earth pony quickly turned around and smiled. Raynor look as well and was surprised to see the mist just stopping at the edge of the forest. Before he could say anything to the earth pony, the mists soar into the sky and vanish. Everfree forest was gone as well, the only thing left was a very large crater.
“What just happen!?” shouted Raynor in shock and fear “Where’s the forest!?”
The earth pony turned to him and answered “I knew it! The mist doesn’t have a large range…well not yet anyway. Listen, Raynor! Twilight is heading to Cloudsdale and if she gets the element of betrayal, that whole city will be consumed by the mist.” Pointed the earth pony at the large crater “We’re lucky that the element of lies was hidden under the old kingdom. Look, I need to head back. Good luck, mate!” smiled the earth pony as he took off to the town.
Raynor turned to the crater once more and his thoughts was filled with great fear. He knew there was like thousands or even more ponies in Cloudsdale. With that blasting into his mind, he drops to his knees and look on with great fear in his eye.
“C-Can I and the others…” trailed off Raynor as he look down to the ground “…if it comes to it…” whispered Raynor as sadness was now in his eye.
“RAYNOR!” shouted Rarity as her, Belle and the two carriage pullers was heading toward him.
As they arrived, they quickly notice the missing forest. Before anypony could say anything, Raynor quickly stood up and said “Let’s hurry to Cloudsdale!”
***
“Why should I, the great and powerful Trixie, help you!?” ask Trixie as she face away from Twilight and Spike.
Twilight used her magic and force Trixie to face her once more and said “If you help me, I’ll grant your greatest wish, oh great and powerful Trixie!” smiled Twilight as her eyes grew red.
Spike watch as Trixie started to glow bright red as Twilight place her hoof on Trixie forehead. With a great spark, Trixie started to hover in mid-air.
“W-What’s going on!?” shouted Spike in fear as he hid behind a chair.
***
Trixie found herself on a wide stage and in front of her was nothing but pure darkness. There was a spot light as it blasted through the upper darkness as it hit her.
“Where am I?” said Trixie in a worry tone.
All of a sudden, Twilight appeared out of the darkness and spoke “Your dream world! This!” shouted Twilight as she wave her hoof and soon a pack audience appeared from the darkness and started to cheer for Trixie as Twilight continued to speak “This is your dream, right? To be loved and admire by many.”
Trixie slowly look around the audience and then look down. As a tear fell from her cheek, she quickly smiled as fireworks went off behind her.
“IT’S I! THE GREAT AND POWERFUL TRIXIE!” shouted Trixie as she started to laugh.
Twilight hovered from the audience and landed next to Trixie and spoke as a black mist form in her hoof “I can even make you more than great and powerful.” evilly smiled Twilight as a dark blue staff, with a black orb at the very top, appeared from the mist “Just help me, oh amazing and mighty Trixie!”
Trixie stared at the staff just for a second and quickly took it and shouted “TRIXIE WILL AID YOU!”
Twilight slowly lower her head and soon the shadow covered her evil stare as Trixie was laughing. Soon that stared became even more evil as her eyes glow red.
***
Spike watch as Twilight back off from Trixie as a bright flash covered the room. After a few seconds of being blind, Spike vision returned and standing before him was Trixie but she had a red cape and red wizard hat, along with a dark blue staff from before, on her back.
“This power?” whispered Trixie as she stared at her hooves “IT’S AMAZING!” shouted Trixie as a red aura covered her.
As Spike look on, KE appeared behind Twilight as a ghost and spoke “She will come in handy.” Suddenly, KE notice that Twilight was breathing hard “You need me? After giving her that power, we’re more worn out than before.”
Twilight closed her eyes and smiled as she spoke in her mind “Wow, Applejack is worry about me…I’m fine. I still have a enough to use the teleporting spell.” Answer Twilight.
Twilight quickly open her eyes as she felt a small hand on her shoulder. It was Spike, who had a very worry look on his face as he notice that Twilight was still breathing hard. Seeing this, Twilight snorted and ignores him as she ordered Trixie to use the cloud walking spell.
“A SMALL SPELL THAT THE GREAT AND POWERFUL TRIXIE CAN HANDLE WITH EASE!” shouted Trixie as her horn started to glow bright red as she started the chant for the spell.
Within her mind, Twilight started to laugh like a insane pony. As she laugh, KE appeared behind her and smiled evilly as she look on.
***
At this time, AJ and Shoujiki was sitting across from the cloaked figured, that who just entered the room and sat down at the table with tea and food. AJ wanted to ask who this cloaked pony was but her stomach forces her to eat...like a wild dog.
"WHOA NELLY!" shouted Shoujiki in anger as she witness AJ poor manners in eating "SHOW SOME MANNERS!"
AJ raised her head from the plate of food and tip her head to the side in confusing.
"What?" answered AJ as her face was covered in food (like what Strongheart gave Pinkie to eat) "I'm dead hungry! It feels I haven't eaten in months, so leave me alone!" snorted AJ as she was face-to-face with Shoujiki.
"YOUR A PIG!" replied Shoujiki as she push AJ face back.
The fighting went on until the cloak pony spoke after drinking some tea "You use the element release, AJ. After using it, it drains your strength but over time, you'll get use to It." the cloak pony lowers the teacup and continued "Princess Celestia had sent your friend, Rarity and a soldier, in order to get you and Fluttershy to stop Twilight but they couldn't find you or Fluttershy."
AJ and Shoujiki quickly look at each and back at the clock pony and AJ quickly said “You know about the element release!?”
“Who are you!? No one should know about the element release!” shouted Shoujiki as she rushes at the clock pony “ANSWER ME!”
“Don’t you remember me, Shoujiki?” smiled the pony as she place her hoof on Shoujiki forehead “We can catch up later but right now, you got to listen!” spoke the pony in a very serious tone.
Shoujiki back off and was trying to understand what the pony said but she lost her thoughts as AJ pounded the table.
“What do you mean, they couldn’t find Fluttershy!?” shouted AJ in fear “Where is she!?”
The clock pony spoke after taking a bite of food “She’s on a mission for me, so don’t worry. Anyway, you must head to Cloudsdale and help Rainbow Dash.”
“Help Rainbow Dash!?” whispered AJ as she slowly sat down in her chair.
“Yes, AJ. Twilight is heading there as we speak. If she gets the next element…” trailed off the pony as she summoned a hologram of the forest of Everfree…well the large crater “If you fail to stop her then the whole city will be consume by the mist. Just like how Everfree was consumed.”
AJ look on in shock and fear, while Shoujiki was angry, angry at herself. The clock pony places her hoof on Shoujiki head and smiled “It’s not your fault, Shoujiki. You did your best.” Hearing those words, Shoujiki felt less mad.
Suddenly, AJ and Shoujiki notice that everything in the room was starting to fade away. Before they could say anything, the clock pony quickly spoke “The doctor and I, have hired somepony to get you girls to Cloudsdale. He should be near the school house. Good lu…” that was all AJ and Shoujiki could hear before they found themselves outside of Ponyville.
AJ pick up her weapon and place Shoujiki on her head and took off to the town. As they disappeared into the town, the clock pony from before, reappeared but as a ghost and next to her was the brown earth pony.
“Do you think they can stop Twilight in time?” ask the earth pony as he turned to her.
The clock pony lower her head and answered him but with great sadness in her voice “I hope, Dr. Whooves…if they don’t…”
***
Meanwhile, a purple flash appeared on top of a cloud building and after it vanish, Trixie and Spike, who was helping Twilight to walk, stood near the edge and look on to the city.
“…our last hope falls onto Twilight. If she can return from her inner world…” finished the clock pony as Twilight, Trixie and Spike started to head down from the building and into the busy street of Cloudsdale.
