Skeletal Mare, or rather, Sunnybreeze Memory was trying to make Stormy react, the wounds from their fight manage to take a heavy toll on the colt, rather than the creature, the tiara on her head made obvious her resemblance with Stormy big sister. In fact, without the bone wings, it looked like her, at least on her left side of her face, Stormy was out cold, losing blood more quickly, the creature although she was unable to speak, desperation could be easily seen on her face, completely shattering her killer side, as if the tiara was a dead ringer for Sunnybreeze.

Stormy was still smiling despite being unconscious, remembering his sister made the laughter element powerful enough to keep him alive, the Skeletal Mare decided to take him back to the castle to treat him, but as her feelings were coming along, so did the other monsters, trying to end what the mare started, including the very colt that Stormy feared, the Iron Mask Pony.

He instructed all the monsters to attack, however, there was one monster missing on the horde of creatures, the Plastic Mare. Wounded by the previous encounter, the Skeletal Mare did something classified as dumb, but also brave, she used the remaining bones of her wings to form a circle around Stormy body and gave him back his sword, the bones acted as a protection ritual, forming up a barrier, while she, with her scythe in hoof, decided to take down as many monsters as possible.

“… I’m… po…s…it…ive th…is …i…s cr…a…zy,” Skeletal Mare said to herself, but with her notorious monster voice.

The monster started the assault, eliminating most of the monsters with the exception of the Shadow Armors, Shadow Performers and some of the huge monsters that just limit themselves to watch the mare efforts, mostly by the fact that, despise being a memory of Sunnybreeze in a way, she is still a monster, hence her weapon might be fast paced, but not powerful enough to hurt the creatures made of shadows, specially the Iron Mask Pony.

Despite the fact that she eliminated the creatures quickly like she always did in the past nights, more monsters kept coming, slowly but surely she will be overwhelmed, they were coming in groups not larger than 2 or 3 at a time, however, as soon as she attacked the bigger treat, the Iron Mask, her scythe broke, by the creature own blade, he took the creature from her neck, and started to choke her, she then tried to use her powerful bones to release herself from his grasp, but the creature only smiled at her attempts to save herself.

“You…wasted….your….potential…” Iron Mask Said with a sinister smile.

He raised his hoof with the butcher knife on it and swing it downwards towards the creature back, breaking her spinal column, a sharp scream was heard causing all normal monsters to cover their ears, the creature despite bleeding herself to death noticed this and tried to let out another scream, but the Iron Mask covered her mouth with his hoof, as he ripped off her black robe, revealing all her body, her wounds and parts of her skeleton, thanks to Sunnybreeze tiara, her body was looking more pony by the second, thing he took advantage of and started to torn her apart, bone by bone, smiling as he enjoyed her suffering, the other monsters recovered from the scream and aided the masked creature.

Skeletal Mare internal organs were exposed as soon as her ribs were torn out, the Iron Mask instructed the other monsters to hold her, they were so lost in the dark aura of the hell they were in, that they obeyed without question. Iron Mask came closer to the creature he was torturing, he first made sure to rip a little of her liver, before trying to decide which organ he will take out first, he decided to go for the stomach and with his teeth, he took a bite and pull it out, spitting all the dark red blood across his mask and hooves, the creature tried to scream, but nopony could hear her, a Ceiling Filly had its cyan suit removed and improvised a mouthfold.

Even Stormy’s kills to the other creatures were merciful compared to what Iron Mask was doing, enjoying the scenario, he pulled some needles to make her nerves of her body react to every single touch, he then finished up ripping the Skeletal Mare liver, only to be taken out from her body from this sadistic creature, finally, he let the heart for last, he took Sunnybreeze tiara from the creature head, and started to carve Stormy own cutie mark on her heart, the Skeletal Mare couldn’t take it anymore, as she felt all her strength going out, slowly fading out of consciousness, dying. To end her misery, the Iron Mask Pony stabbed several times the Skeletal Mare heart with Sunnybreeze tiara, until the muffled screams of the mare ceased.

Having finished with his work, the Iron Mask let the corpse drop heavily on the floor, as he get closer to Stormy still unconscious body, removing the bones one by one with his butcher knife, he then took Stormy from his neck, the laughter element launched a powerful electrical charge made Stormy wake up, only to see what happened to the Skeletal mare.

“S-sis,” Stormy said with anger in his tone, his eyes quickly recovered their color.

“… tasty…dess..ert…” Iron Mask said smiling with content in his heart.

Outraged, Stormy’s eyes quickly lost any sparkle of fear he might had, he took his sword with his magic and manage to injure the hoof that was holding him, he wanted to fight, but seeing the situation where he was, he had no shape to fight this manifestation, at least not now, his only hope was to recover his weapons and run as fast as possible, all the weapons levitated and flew upwards surrounded by a magical aura, to a hole on the ceiling.

“Oh come on!, ok that’s it!” Stormy said already upset.

The element reacted and created a light based Party Cannon, shooting one single light based cake that pushed all the creatures away from him, including Iron Mask, sadly, this caused Stormy to be unable to move again due to his weakened state, an organ sound was heard far into the castle, and all the monsters felt into a trap door, Stormy ground shook hard making him hold into it, seeing how the hole was coming closer, by the time he reached the top, all he saw was the remaining of his items scattered on the floor plus the weapons that were levitated, next to a brand new saddlebag that had old lunar guard designs, from 1000 years ago, and a note.

"I'm so sorry Stormy... Wish I could do more to help. I'll be waiting for you in the castle lobby."

It was the princess hoofwriting, smiling that the princess was not angry at him, he picked up all his items, changing his saddlebags and putting all his items in the new bags, restocking himself, he removed his damaged raincoat and ate the 2 apples he had and treated himself with the last bandage he had, changing his old dried blood ones, closing the wounds the best he could, after patching himself up he put his raincoat back on, the sword he lost, was now on his back, like at the beginning, he walked towards the lobby, during his way, on what it seems a very large hallway, he could hear voices, echoes of his past, one of them in specific, was reflected on one of the many windows in the hallway, just like the a stained glass on the Canterlot Throne Room, Stormy saw memory in specific, as If he was watching a movie remembering something of his own past.

“Brother, please hold on!, stay with me, STAY WITH ME!“ said a younger Stormy, carrying an injured pony in his back, it was connected to several devices that he kept floating with magic

“…” the pony didn’t replied, but was breathing

The moment showed a train, crashed in the middle of the road between Canterlot and Ponyville, with a mysteriously black pony following them, as soon as Young Stormy noticed this, he started to run, towards a deep wood area, which seems to resemble the Everfree Forest

“This is when I escaped from Manehatten, I had to take my brother away because he was coming for him,“ Stormy said as he watched his younger self run away.

He closed his eyes a moment and found himself back in the same hallway, he noticed another window with color, it had the same pattern as the one that he already checked, this time however, the memory was not only vivid, he saw and felt everything, as he started to remember something very painful, he closed his eyes, letting his memory take him deeply into his past, a not pleasant trip.

It was in Manehattan, shortly after Redhoof death, the police of Manehatten were searching for Stormy all along, the mayor son plan to blame Stormy for both his lover and the mayor death worked perfectly, once they entered his house, unfortunately for him, he was there, dressed up as Moonlight Strike, his suit was torn and he was bleeding from his upper hooves, Stormy just had a fight with Blackhorn, trying to save Redhoof life after all, but failed, and his wounds are proof of it, Keeneye tried to convince Stormy to give in, however, Silverbadge had other orders,

“Stormy Brave!, or should I say Moonlight Strike, by the new mayor orders you are under arrest, your punishment, is to be banished from Equestria,“ the officer said with a more than notorious smirk

“WHAT!?“ Keeneye and Stormy yelled in unison

“The mayor contacted Princess Celestia about all your current murders, and as you know, a murderer cannot live in Equestria, let alone a Thief and Murderer, make this easy for yourself kid, and just surrender,“ The officer said as he draw near Stormy with a special ring that render the user incapable of casting spells

“Silverbadge, t-the evidence from earlier don’t point towards him, I actually don’t think this is a good idea,“ Keeneye pleased to his boss sense of logic.

“Just shut up and catch him! THAT’S AN ORDER!“ The other officer ordered, as he jumped towards Stormy

“If you really believe that mayor, then you really are just an idiot, and I have a short temper for fools like you,” Stormy said with a tired expression as he prepared a spell.

He did not had any other choice, and nothing he could say could spare him from the corrupt cops orders, he had to defend himself in his own home, against the police ponies, using all his magic acquired so far, he attacked, he even knocked out the captain and used with his own ring to prevent him from casting magic, Stormy modified the lock spell on the ring, making for the captain impossible to remove it.

Several police ponies jumped into him, their lanterns felt to the floor, some of them falling by accident on the curtains, starting to burn the house, some of the police ponies started to beat him up, Stormy used his last resource, his moondust magic, to defend himself and knock down all the other ponies around him, what he didn’t expect, was that his magic actually formed the Spiked Bubble shield, making the ponies seriously injured and splatter him, Keeneye looked shocked, but Stormy looked regretful, with no other option, he teleported to the roof of his house and ran towards Manehatten Town Hall, despise his wounded stated thanks to the police officers.

As the beautiful night shinned its moonlight on him and on the roofs of the city, he knew that he can no longer stay in his birth town, he had to escape, but he was not going to leave his little brother alone, after the attacks the poor colt had suffered in school, he had to get him out of Canterlot Hospital, after all, that menace he is currently facing already had mocked both Celestia guards and hospital staff as well, during his run away, several other police ponies started to follow him from the roofs.

“Hold!, stop!” the colts said running behind him.

Stormy had enough magic enough to slow them down, but he had to be wise, he could use his magic later, he actually was skilled to use ancient spells and arcane magic from 1000 years ago, from what he saw on the books that is, so he prepared a very powerful spell and summoned storm clouds, he launched a bottle with Redhoof cutie mark on the floor, causing the police to be stuck, Stormy bucked the cloud with all his strength, causing the thunders to appear and stun the cops, this should put a stop to their efforts to chase him, for now.

“Good thing I learned the temporal cloud walking spell,” Stormy said to himself as he jumped to another roof.

He reached Manehatten Town Hall, where his friend used to be, sadly, he remembered her death and although he shiver as he entered, he also remembered the secret entrance on the Mayor Office, he went to the office, and was surprised that everything was already cleaned up, after his fight with the “Other Stormy“, he pulled out one of the books in the bookcase, making a elevator appears where the mayor chair was, enough to hold not only the mayor, but cargo, other ponies and cameras equipment, he entered inside and went down to the secret train, inside, he knocked out the 2 guards that guarded the entrance and used their keys to access the private train, he force the conductor to drive, the conductor was scared, due to Stormy wounded state and his bloodstained clothes didn’t helped either.

“Whaaa!, Moonlight, please don’t kill me!“ the conductor said in terror.

“Im NOT a killer for Celestia sake!, just take me to Canterlot,“ Stormy demanded already glowing his horn.

“On the double” The conductor said, not questioning the order.

“Thank you, please hurry last time I used this I had to drive this thing alone,“ Stormy said to the conductor with heaviness on his voice.

“You what?!” the conductor said with surprise.

The conductor notices his seriousness and pulled the lever on the train at full speed, the inertia made the colt fall down the floor, it was not long before they reached to Canterlot, the secret train takes him to Canterlot Train Station V.I.P Section, that only The Mayor, high society ponies, and on very rare occasions, the Princesses used.

“Leave the engine running please,“ Stormy plead, his horn remain lit.

“Why?” The conductor asked.

“Because I will bring along somepony, and depart to Ponyville,“ Stormy said as he ran out of the train.

Stormy used a teleportation spell to quickly travel between the train and the Canterlot Hospital, once inside, he reached his brother hospital room, the room 402, he entered the room, just to find the mysterious black pony ready with a knife next to the pony bed.

“Not this time! “ Mayor” !!“ Stormy yelled as he shot a magical blast from his horn.

The black pony received the hit and made was sent flying across the room, making a hole in the room, Stormy quickly took his brother from the bed he was, along with a portable equipment, used to transport comatose patients from room to room or from hospital to hospital, however, this made the alarm sound, Stormy heart was racing, his brother was going to be in danger constantly until that pony kills him finally, he had to take him to a place he was sure nopony in their right mind will go and that is Ponyville Everfree Forest, the Castle of the Royal Pony Sisters.

The castle was well hidden, and all the creatures in Everfree make it the perfect hideout, he ran towards a elevator, that was closing up, as the medics, nurses and doctors, were getting out of his way and calling the royal guard.

“Out of my way!!“ he demanded.

Seeing that the elevator closed before he could reach, he used a high amount of magic to make one big teleport, to take him and his brother to the train, however, this quickly made his magic to go to dangerously low levels, the train conductor however, was surprised by the extra passenger.

“What in Equestria are you doing?!“ he yelled in shock.

“No time to explain!, to Ponyville!“ Stormy demanded, completely desperate, his mind was shattered to bits.

The conductor notices Stormy as he cared about his brother, and make sure he was ok with all the pipes and equipment to keep a comatose patient alive, putting the train now in Reverse, to reach Ponyville, Stormy took a moment to breathe, however, it was middle way when something went awfully wrong, the conductor on the other side of the cabin let a yell, as the train now went more faster than usual, Stormy tried to talk with the conductor, but he was gone, the glass was shattered and the brakes were destroyed.

“Hehehehe…hahahahaha!!!” Laughter was heard on the walls in the train.

“Oh come on, how he got here so fast!?” Stormy yelled as he knew who that laught belongs.

Stormy had little time, as the train was about to wreck in a pile of rocks that where blocking the tunnel to Ponyville, Stormy picked up his brother from his bed, and attached all the medical equipment to himself along with her brother body, he then activated the emergency breaks, the train wheels stopped their spin, but the train, was not slowing down fast enough, it will not stop in time, Stormy then decided to use the last of his magic to protect his brother, so he made a bubble shield, and opened up the train door, jumping from it.

“LEROOO----!! Gahh!!” Stormy yelled as he felt a sharp pain on his hooves midair.

The crash was loud enough to alert the whole Royal Guard of his location, the pegasus and unicorn guards were coming from him, there was no way around it, he was going to be banished, most likely to the moon, at least he will make Luna company, but first, he have to put his brother to safety, when he got up he instantly fall down on the floor, the shield protected his brother and equipment, but not him, his hooves were badly damaged, he can no longer run and his magic was already exhausted, besides levitation, he cannot do anything else, he then started to walk towards the Everfree forest passing through Ponyville.

As he walked in, he got hit by a needle in his side, this was a more than enough alert to Stormy, the black pony was following them, the needle effect made his eyes suffer a minor fear effect as purple smoke emanates from them, he gathered what he could of strength and stepped inside the little town, the V.I.P tracks were very close to the normal tracks ponies use to travel to Canterlot, the fire would draw the attention of the townsfolk so he had to be quick.

As he moved towards Ponyville, the black pony was following them, not shooting, only enjoying the view of desperation of the stallion, he carved it, flavor it, desired it, every single drop of desperation and fear, however, when Stormy finally reached Ponyville, the lights of the illumination spell from the royal guards shinned on the colt, making the black pony to hide

“Halt!, by Celestia name Halt!“ one of the unicorn guards instructed.

“N-no, I…I cannot” Stormy said, starting to be surrounded by the guards, he could not see well.

One of the guards used a spear to stop the stallion movements, Stormy, irrational due to the fear toxin, had a magic surge, allowing him to get one more barrier, the moondust shield, the guards were surprised, as he returned the spear but not to the unicorn guard, but to the black pony hiding behind the Train station column, and successfully nailing his clothes to the wall.

“Son of a!” The dark pony exclaimed, giving away his location.

“Who goes there?” the guard noticed the figure trying to break free.

This was his chance, as he canalized the moondust shield to his hooves, recovering a little from his wounds, but enough to withstand the pain, he pushed his body and ran towards Ponyville, trying to find the Everfree Forest entrance, the road was already hard, as he visited that place only on his fillyhood, but finding it was not hard, it was near Fluttershy Cottage, he started to bleed, his hooves were dropping bloodstains as soon as he entered the forest, ignoring all the dangers the place have, dangers that were amplified by the fear toxin, he managed to reach the castle, with Mistshine still alive and well on his back.

“We did it brother, we finally did it we are free” he said, exhausted, he collapsed on the floor, near the Elements of Harmony pedestal in the lobby.

“Not quite you little nuisance, you made me run all the way to here, perfect now stay still,“ a pony voice was heard behind him.

“oh no…B…Blackhorn! “ Stormy yelled, as he turned around, only to be hit by a knife handle.

Unable to fight he just watched as the unicorn took out his mask, allowing Stormy to look at those psychopath eyes, as he headed towards the little colt unconscious body, taking him away for Stormy, despite being wounded he followed the twisted unicorn deeper into the castle, his face was unable to be forgotten, that black coat, those deep red eyes and that yellow and blue long mane, the stallion hooves were stained with a dark crimson birth mark that due to its color allow it to hide the real blood on them.

When Stormy recovered finally from the blow, he did his initial search, a search he could recall perfectly, he found the Element of Harmony book and taking out his Ocarina, he learned the songs he could, before going down the armory and taking one of the swords from the armors, he then did his search for the Mayor son, even if he gets banished, he was determined to fight him or at least taking down with him, that psycho had his brother and he had to get him back, however, as soon as he returned to the lobby, he was received with several poisoned needles, feeling dizzy and afraid, he felt to the floor, as the unicorn had his brother floating with his magic

“I could easily turn off his devices you know? But I want you to suffer, is more fun that way,“ Blackhorn said, completely lost in his own madness.

“Why just why?!“ Stormy demanded to know his reasons; the purple mist from the fear toxin was a little darker than before.

“Your family almost discovered my other artistic business, I cannot let the world know that im an assassin for hire for a reason kid, besides, I have more magic than you; I can live your life, then my life as the new mayor in Manehatten and continue to my noble work.” Blackhorn gloated about his actions

“Grrr” Stormy tried to get up, the mist was fading.

“Your mother loved my work you know? And your sister was just a imperfection I had to correct,“ he said laughing, as he pulled out a bag.

“Imperfection?” Stormy questioned, looking at the bag.

“Yes, all ponies are the same in death, rich, poor, health or not, Everypony dies at the end, however, their beauty fades quickly, im simply doing a favor to Equestria by perfectly preserving their beauty for all eternity, see for yourself,“ Blackhorn said with a smile, as he tossed the bag

The bag contained his mother severed head and limbs, perfectly preserved, like if she was some sort of stuffed animal, this made Stormy scream, terrified, the fear toxin has kicked in by this at full strength and gave the black unicorn all the time in the world to do what he wanted with the young stallion, he used a blinding light spell making Stormy unable to see anything. Only his distorted laughter could be heard as his body felt all kinds of pain in every region of his body, even places nopony should even harm.

Once Stormy could open his eyes, he was back at the castle hallway, but he was very close to the stairs, and could see the element of harmony pedestal, he was no longer afraid, his eyes now show bravery but also, the same compassion he shared for his brother.

“I… know the truth now, “ Stormy said with a strong tone, as he went down to the first floor.

On the first floor, the princess was waiting for Stormy, as soon as she was able to spot him, she hugged him, Stormy hugged her back, crying heavily, as he just finally let it all out, he told the princess, between sobs and tears, the final memory he just saw and how his mind finally recovered all his lost memories, Luna taking this as Princess she was, all she could do was to hug the colt, hug him and not letting go, but inside of her, she was wishing she could meet this Blackhorn fella to show him what true terror is like, and to make him suffer every single time he made Stormy miserable, until his mental breakdown had passed.

She was puzzled however, how did one pony trick 2 towns in order to go as far as banishing other pony to the moon or the sun?, contrary to her, Stormy could have not survive the banishment, since he is not immortal, once Stormy finally end crying, the princess let just a few words, with wisdom in them to finally put an end to the ghost of the past.

“Do not let your past torture you anymore Stormy, you are a good pony, please, let the past be past, and walk to a brighter future“

Stormy nodded in agreement as he and Luna got themselves up and saw the Element of Harmony Pedestal, however, the pedestal had one thing on it, the Elements, in their round stone shape, or at least the laughter element, however, the other ones were missing, and had some things in their corresponding places, in Honesty, there was a badge, reading Manehatten Police Officer Keeneye, In Loyalty, Redhoof ribbon and some of her mind potions, In Generosity, Sunnybreeze bloodstained tiara, in Kindness, Mistshine Posey Doll and finally,on Magic, Celestia bloodstained armor.

Both ponies looked themselves, and decided to search for the remaining spheres, corresponding to the elements representation, they searched the castle hallways, however, all the hallways were changed, they searched room by room on that long hallway, most of the doors were busted, with exception of one, when they entered in it, they found a replica of Mistshine bedroom, with several drawings of pony anatomy parts, however, what stood out was the Kindness element holding a piece of paper, it was a simple paper, written as a last will, it says;

“If something happened to me, I want all my blueprints about techno pony parts, to be given to Canterlot or Manehatten Hospital, so they can use them on other ponies, I know somepony will perfect them if im gone “

It was Stormy little bro hoofprint, Stormy took the Kindness element, as he promised his brother “ Don’t worry bro, I will find you, I will make you wake from your coma, and you can see your work in action, all that kindness and generosity, that you are showing to other ponies, through your work, will not be misplaced “, both ponies stored the element on the saddlebags and continued.

The hallway shapeshifted again, it had a few creatures now, 2 Ceiling fillies, Luna shoot them to drop them on the floor, both ponies ran, searching for the door that was correct, but the monsters recovered quickly and attacked, Stormy having no time for it, equipped his sword and attacked, making an instant but painless kill to the creatures, Luna opened the door, only to find it was a replica of a police office, more concrete, Manehatten police department, there were several pictures of Moonlight strike on the walls, and on one specific desk, there was the Honesty element, and in a rookie desk, the Generosity element, Stormy noticed the Honesty element was in Keeneye desk, while the Generosity one, was in Sunnybreeze desk, Stormy saw that Keeneye, left a report without date, but half finished, he read it as he seem to be called by it, the report said;

“I honestly find hard to believe what the newspapers says, I have worked many years on this job and I have only found out so far how hard the truth can be, but saying lies or worse, living a lie, is no way to reveal or hide it either, I apprehended a couple of street thugs yesterday, and they said something interesting, they said that Moonlight was innocent, I asked them why they care, since Moonlight was the sole reason they were hiding before committing crimes, they stated that the Black Shadow will erase all criminals, and the pony was very psychotic and sadistic, that description, didn’t matched Moonlight at all, it matches more the serial killer we have been search for days, and was responsible of the death of our teammate Sunnybreeze, if I can connect the points somehow, I will have this resolved, also the captain is a sellout, yesterday, I found him taking money from a thief, hate to say, but seems Stormy was right, even if I break my hoof I will show everypony the truth in this town.“

Keeneye never believed in the lies of the Mayor, no matter how hard the truth was and he shared his honesty towards others within his department, while her sister desk, that had the Generosity element, it only had a few words crafted on the desk, it was carved with a military knife, Sunnybreeze despite being a pacifist, knew how to fight in hoof to hoof combat, knowledge she shared with her brothers.

“No matter what happens, I will always stays by my brothers side, even if they take the wrong path, I will follow them and bring them back to the good way, like a guardian angel, my family is all I have left, Stormy might be a thief, or at least that is what the media says, I know for a fact he always come home with a empty hoof or with little money, enough for the 3 of us to eat, if he really was a thief, he will come with more money, I will always watch over my brothers and repay his generosity to the town he is helping“

That was Sunnybreeze letter, is true, she even was the one that made Stormy his Moonlight costume, she was always with her and Mistshine at all times, he took both elements and Stored them in his saddlebags, before smiling relieved her sister was not mad at him for her incident or his decision of becoming Moonlight Strike, as both ponies exited the room, they instantly entered another one, closing the door behind them, it was a room of a mare, several beauty objects could be seen, along with a closet full of clothes and some questionable couple items, but the most important object of all, was the Loyalty element, next to a diary, Luna checked the closet, noticing she was in the room of the first mare Stormy dated, she noticed seeing that she was also a gamer on her days, probably thanks to Stormy’s influence, as she found a little Game Pony Advance SP, with a copy of Super Spike Brothers – SuperRuby Saga – and other mobile consoles, but also found, several kinky stuff, she could learn the type of personality she had, extroverted, lustful, but kind of childish and kind at heart, Stormy could not read Redhoof diary out of respect, but Luna could, she took the diary and read the latest entry;

“Stormy was the first pony to actually show me kindness and she also protected me, always, I actually visit his home very often or escaped from my window to visit him and his little bro, they are good ponies and here with my father, I only get angry, mostly when dad wants to force me to date high society ponies, I hated it so much, however, Stormy actually showed me to smile, I was jealous when he mentioned Pinkie Pie, as a mare that help him to smile, to be honest, I want to say hi to that pony but im getting off track here.

Today I actually could apply the kindness that Stormy had taught me, on the same ponies that bullied me, it felt great to help them, Billy was about to be banned from the school, by something he didn’t do, while Madeline, she specially earned herself detention when she punched Howard, and although I couldn’t take her out of it, I stayed with her until detention ended, and I actually forgive them, it was hard at first, but then I remember, I’m the mayors daughter, I have to set a example to others, yet, the only thing I did so far was to be lustful and seductive, but I was not doing anything for anypony, I guess destiny intervenes in a ironic way, that a “low class “ pony as Stormy ( I hate when my father use those terms to refer to Stormy family, they are my friends! ) , could show me, a “high class“ pony, how to be a better version of myself, why not show that to others?.

I felt great helping those ponies, and when I apply as mayor, I will do better than dad, and make sure Manehatten learns to be a little more kind to others, that is my dream, as for Stormy well, I hope we can improve I have several fun things I want to try with somepony special hehe, but in truth, more than lust for him, I love him a lot, and I will remain by her side, loyal to him to the death, other ponies may look at me, but only one has got close to my heart to own it.“

“Things to do with somepony special?., all this costumes, She better have not done what I think this means Stormy!“ Luna said, blushing hard and letting her imagination run wild.

“Ummm, I, I , me, we, she, oh crips, yes, we did it a lot of times together, is that what you thinking princess?“ Stormy said, looking at the princess with a grin but a heavy blush.

“Eeeehh, nothing nothing!, I was thinking nothing at all, is not like I was curious on how it feels or anything!“ Luna said, her blush was more than evident, she clearly knows what she had in her mind, the mental image was not going away.

“You are such a terrible liar missy, naughty princess thinking naughty thoughts?, your wings are open dear, you can’t hide it“ Stormy said in a joking matter, poking that the princess wings.

Stormy left the room with a huge smirk as he knew Luna was thinking a lot of what Redhoof and him did in the past, only to enter now into Princess Celestia room, the one from 1000 years ago, but it was fixed already, the Magic element was next to a letter, Luna draw near and read it;

“Dear Sister, how can you forgive? How could I forgive myself for what I done?, is true, we have power beyond normal ponies could ever dream off, but we shared a bond, a bond that had transcended time, but now I feel hopeless, you are on the moon, and now I have to wait 1000 years to see you pretty face and smile again, I just hope what when you return, I can hug you instead of fight you, laugh instead of cry, share, instead of taking, oh my dear sister, even from far away, even across the stars, I will always love you, and I protect you, even from yourself “

Celestia ruler of Equestria, but her older sister, she always cared for Luna, the ink was fresh, indicating that the letter was recently made, Stormy took the Magic Element as Luna hugged the letter, relieved by her sister words, both ponies returned to the main area, where the elements were missing and they placed all the round stones on their corresponding element place, The Pedestal turned around and revealed one last page, it was the last page of the Element of Harmony Book.

The last song was called The Oath of Harmony, the song description explained very well its effect, is a song that was created at the same time as the Elements of Harmony, and it allows to fortify the element, or all elements if present, with the user own magic, making a momentary super charged version of the element, also, if the pony had one or several qualities of the Elements of Harmony, the song could restore him to his top physical form, healing any severe wounds, but also contained a dark side, if the song was played backwards, it will have the opposite effect, draining the element of their magic momentary to fortify the user, Stormy added the page to the Book of Harmony, completing it successfully, the book shined with a powerful light, indicating that all songs have finally been learned and rejoined their companions, but as soon as the book got completed the alarm when off and the transformation of the castle began.

The walls of the castle where falling down, revealing the metal that used to hold the stone walls in place, everything started to get rusted, including the harmony pedestal, all 6 elements burst into flames, each flame with the colors corresponding to each individual element, and started to spin, making a slow lamp, the hallways door felt to the floor, only to be buried into the stones that felt on them, and then into the darkness from below, the LED Flashlight and Lantern were no longer necessary, the “elements“ provided enough light to see the new palace, however, the ground had little concrete, and in some segments, the metallic fence was visible, a metallic echo, made Stormy turn around, it was the Iron Mask pony, carrying in one hoof, the unconscious body of a foal, the wrench cutie mark was visible along with his hospital robes.

“Mistshine!!, Brother nooooo!!”

Stormy ran towards the creature desperate, as he knew very well what the creature could do to his brother, ready to use his sword to attack, but the Iron Mask rose the hoof that hold Mistshine body, Stormy stopped his attack, only to be hit by the same hoof, Mistshine weigh plus the strength of the creature were extreme, sending Stormy back to his original position, Iron Mask prepared then a brush a old paintbrush, but the brush itself had remaining of old blood in it, making a little cut on Mistshine body, he made a circle very similar to the one Luna and Stormy found on Twilight library, but this one, encased the wounded body of Mistshine in a bubble, that was filling with his own blood, the “timer” was set in some way and Iron Mask smiled, as he looked upon their 2 new playmates.

“I was weak, that’s why you came along and were able to do what you did. “ Stormy said, with a serious look in his face stepping up.

“Stormy,“ Luna was concerned, but was relieved when she saw his guard took out his sword again.

“But that’s all in the past now, I know the truth I had forgotten and now you are nothing more than a stain in the page of my life!, time to correct my mistakes and walk to a better future a future, without you in it,“ he said as he used his guard stance, ready for battle.

“……………………….” A brief moment of silence came, until one word came from the creature “ ………. C̸̙͖̙̗͉͍͓̤̃̉̎́O͖̟̪̦̓̌̚̕M̟̟̮̳͈̈̿̔́͝E̒ͩ͊̔͌̆̊͌͏̶̞̜̮́!!̮͙͚̖͈̯̓̇ͯ͗̌̐ͅ “

“There is no way you will fight him alone this time, this time, i will be together at your side!“ Luna said as she also took out Snowdrop Pipe.

Both ponies started to attack the Iron Mask Pony, but sadly, the creature had a very powerful block, so both attacks didn’t do a thing to him, Luna decided to attack with magic blast, but the attack didn’t moved him, however, his body showed damage finally, Stormy resolve broke the creature barrier of fear, causing attacks to damage it, just like with Black Alicorn.

The bubble where Mistshine was trapped, was getting filled quickly, Mistshine hooves where already covered, Stormy tried to burst the bubble but the sword bounced, Iron Mask was very slow, however, he pack quite a punch, Luna tried to attack but one hit from his Butcher Knife and Luna was down on the floor already even though she blocked it, however, the strength he used was enormous, he raised the knife again, Stormy saw the treat and jumped to a side, blocking with his sword, stoping both his and the creature blade at mere millimeters from the princess face, the princess on the other hoof, used her pipe and hit the creature on its face.

The mask the creature wears absorbs most of the blows, Stormy took advantage and attacked the creature swinging his sword up, the blade manage to cut the chin of the creature and made it step away from the princess, both ponies with the same idea on their minds decided to give the creature a buck, however, he took this chance and took Stormy hooves, smashing him on the floor.

“AAAAAAHHH!!” he yelled as he felt a great pain.

Some of his blood escaped his mouth by the strength of the impact, the princess resorted to her magic power of the moon and summoned a moon spear, throwing it to the creature, it manage to stab him and take it to the floor, however, the creature got himself up, smiling, Stormy attacked again, trying to stab the creature but it only manage to rip away his mask, screaming due to loosing his mask and part of its skin with it, the creature sliced Stormy chest, making a severe wound that rendered him to the floor, the Laughter element got splatter, as the creature took Stormy again, with the intention to torture him, the mask removal manage to reveal it’s horn, and also its skinless flesh, but its sick smile was still there, he smiled as he started to pull the stallion 4 limbs, including his horn, via magic.Stormy screamed from the pressure, Luna shoot a magical blast, however, the creature quickly used Stormy as a shield, hitting her companion made the blast to disperse, and weakened his limbs, a ripping sound was starting to come from the coat he was wearing.

“D͛ͥ̈͆҉̤̜̮ȉ͍͎̉͜͜͟è̦̳̿̊́ “

The creature now pulled even harder, Luna tried to attack again with magic blast on the floor the monster was standing on, but the creature was unaffected by them at the beginning, the ones that did hit him were shielded by Stormy’s body, Luna teleported behind the creature using the Prelude of Friendship Song and changed to Celestia Sword, managing to successfully stab him with the sword in the back, the blade burned like the sun, making the creature loose focus and letting Stormy go.

Stormy, still wounded, saw his window of opportunity and stabbed the creature in his heart while it was dizzy, Luna hit heavily the creature horn, weakening his defense and breaking the protective spell it was casting, however, they both forgot about something, Mistshine bubble, when Stormy looked, all he could see, was his brother face being submerged.

“MMMMPSH!!” a muffled yell came from the bubble.

“Y̴̘̻̮̣͍͇͔̙̼ͧͯ͝o̷̷̭̙̖̼̝̥̽̎ͩu̴̮̮̦ͧ͆͊ͣͭ́ ̬̱̝̦͑ͥ̒l̄̀̓͒ͮͤ͢҉͏̼̥͔͉͍ọ̶̮͚̙̺̬̞̜͛͛͗̔̓̌̒́s͚̋́̏̈͞͡t̰̖͔͕ͤ̌́͌̈́̀͡” The creature started to laugh.

“No…NOOOOO!!” Stormy bucked the creature face hard, silencing it.

Stormy took the creature butcher knife and tried to get him out, the exterior of the bubble showed blood, splattering him, Stormy eyes showed total desperation, being so close to his brother, to lose him, the princess also helped, the creature however, continued to laugh, a sick and distorted laugh that rang on Stormy mind much more harder now.

Stormy continued it’s attempt to break the bubble again, the bubbles of air were coming more slowly, as Stormy felt he lived this before, he dropped the butcher knife, and turned on the chainsaw, something shocking happened, a hoof was forming out, Stormy tried to took it, thinking it was his brother, that he managed to perforate the structure, but the hoof moved and grabbed Stormy from his neck again, chocking him, the hoof was feminine and some bones were also forming, reforming what it seems to be an alicorn mare, Luna noticed this and recognized its foe, she quickly used her magic to levitate her and Stormy out of the way, as the bubble finally burst, leaving all the blood to flush out between the holes of the fence floor, however, a fleshy figure was still there, where Mistshine used to be, her featherless wings, her skeletal design green armor, and her dark violet color reminded very well Luna who she was facing, as of her red moon with grey clouds cutie mark wasn’t enough

“ The night…will last… forever!” The creature spoke

“How many times do we have to kill you?!” Luna and Stormy exclaimed already annoyed to having to fight this creature again.

“2̗͕̲̟̦̤̹̋͑̄̆̅̕ ̢̪̼̲̮̹͓̩͍̋̒̃́́V̵̤́̀̌̉ͭ̎̉̇ͤ͜͞s̶̗͓̝ͮ̃̃ͥ͗̑̊ ̧͇̱̹̇͗́͢ͅ2ͧͭ̆ͨͯ̃̑̇́͝҉͖̻̠ “ The creature said, its smile didn’t go away.

The creature they were facing, the big pony, put himself in front of The Black Alicorn, as she turned into mist and taking the butcher knife, it surrounded the creature, fusing herself with him, the wounds in the creature started to heal, and it’s mask appeared back on its face with a change, in one side, it reflected a mare characteristics, but with eyes resembling nightmare moon, however, no eye sockets, while the other half, resembles a male pony, this one had a eye socket, where the black eyes of the Iron Mask Pony could be seen, its mane grew larger, and his whole physical appearance changed, his ribs ripped through his chest and butcher gown, ripping the clothes he had, the wings where now bat like wings, and his back hooves got slim, his spinal column could be visible in his back and neck, as his fangs grew sharper, and his mouth lost some of its muscle, his front hooves gained muscular structure, marked with some bones exposing ahead of the flesh to protect the nerves, Luna just yelled a disgusted look, but Stormy.

“Heheheheh, Hahahahahah! Hahahahahahah! HAHAHAHAHAHAH!!! “

Just started to laugh, Luna noticed the element in his neck was shinning more now, almost as if it was fully reacting with Stormy now, when Luna asked him what happened, he just said with a smile.

“He just got wings and pretty make over, seriously, this has to be funny,“ Stormy said with glee

“How can you find it funny?!“ Luna questioned with surprise.

“….” The Iron Mask Pony just stood there, ready to attack.

“Oh Princess don’t you see? “ Stormy smiled, for a moment, Luna could see a faint image behind Stormy, a pink pony faint image that quickly faded.

“GRRRRRRR RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAWR!!! “ The fused monster attack not able to ignore anymore the laughs and happiness Stormy gave.

Stormy dodged and attacked with Pinkie Party Cannon, a cake was shot to the creature face, it made impossible to see with the frosting covering the creature eyes, when it removed enough frosting, it notice Stormy hitting him with the cannon itself, Luna saw how the element was shinning as is used to be with Pinkie around, Luna took advantage of this, and attacked the huge pony with her sword, the creature size was huge, leaving both ponies little compared in size.

The butcher knife was lifted and the creature attacked, both ponies dodged at the same time, the knife was stuck on the floor, the duo took advantage of this, and used their combined attack, Luna shoot Stormy as a machine gun and his moondust magic formed some chains that held the creature in place, 3 shoots for a total of 3 chains, both ponies jumped to attack, but the creature broke free 1 of them, successfully hitting both with his butcher knife, his strength was powerful enough to severe injure both ponies and toss them to the ground.

“Aahhh, Celestia damn it!” Stormy cursed, as he was able to recover.

Stormy was relieved that the creature didn’t cut him in half and attacked him with his sword, however, the creature sturdy armor made damage difficult as it was hard to break, he tried to attack the soft spot on the creature stomach, but he felt something moving there, his brother was inside and still alive!.

“Son of a---“ Stormy cursed, already annoyed.

“MMPSH!!!” Mistshine muffled screams could be heard on the belly of the beast.

Stormy more than afraid, was already pissed off at the creature obsession with his little bro, he then stabbed the creature on the chest near his heart to try to get his bro out, even if he has to get in there himself, but he was repelled by a powerful hit with the creature hoof, Stormy coughed blood, his bandages started to quickly stain from that precious red liquid, as well as Luna body and mane, she took the worse part on the previous attack, but she was conscious enough to pull out the cupcake Stormy gave her and used it to heal her wounds.

As her suppositions were correct, the cupcake made by Stormy was very sweet and made with care and love, the sweetness of the honey and sugar matched perfectly in complete harmony with the bread and the other ingredients the cupcake was made out, just like the mint cupcake made by Pinkie, this allowed Luna to recover her magic to full and used it for a healing spell on her wounds, but she will be unable to fight or move, she need something to speed the healing up.

Stormy on the other hoof ate the last 2 apples he had and recovered his magic, he saw the state of the princess, he only thought for one thing that could help them, one last song, the Oath of Harmony, the song he recently found, he went near the princess, as she was still lying on the floor healing herself, he put himself holding the princess, as he started to perform the song, Luna felt him lifting her, making sure she was close to him, putting her horn against her stallion companion body, they focused their magic on the ancient song, Iron Mask attacked before the song could be completed, but the effects of the ancient magic repelled him back.

The results became notorious, the laugher element started to get supercharged, the cutie mark shape on the element changed momentary, to reflect Stormy own cutie mark, as if it was combined with Stormy and Pinkie personalities, but the most important thing was, that both, The Princess and Stormy wounds were getting healed at quick speed, allowing Luna to get herself back, while Stormy had the super charged element, enough to power up the party cannon for a finishing blow, one shot, that’s all he got to end this nightmare but he has to make it count.

Luna, feeling herself restored with the ancient song, used her power and transformed into Nightmare Moon, but her expression and kindness remained, taking advantage of her new size, she attacked the creature with Celestia Sword, the creature was still being held on the floor, the first attack from Luna made the creature left wing to come right off, the second attack ripped the second wing, the Princess sat on the floor, while Stormy, running, jumped on her, and like a trampoline, she lifted Stormy up to the air, Stormy used the gravity to his favor and stabbed the creature on its exposed spinal column, careful enough not to hurt the stomach, where his brother was, the creature roar in pain, as the third and final chain broke, releasing the beast, the creature quickly bite Stormy heavily on his right side, making him bleed again, the princess, transforming into mist, Started to choke the creature, after a minute, the creature could no longer be without air, so he let go Stormy and redirected his attention to the Princess, she stepped away from the creature and returned to her Nightmare Moon form.

“Although I regret everything I done in the past, this is the present!, I already forgive myself for my sins!, so you have no right to be here!“ Luna said to the creature, since the creature is her and Stormy traumas combined.

“I have also committed sins that other ponies would never forgive themselves, mastering Arcane Magic for starters, but I lived with a town mayor daughter and due to me being afraid of everything, I failed everypony I came to love, but that doesn’t determine who I am, what matters is that I’m a better pony I was in the past, and that means that your expiration date just came in today,” Stormy said with determination to erase the creature in front of him, pulling out the party cannon.

The creature jumped again to the ponies, Stormy moved away from the creature attack range, the creature attacked with his butcher knife, but the princess actually dodged more quickly the attack, thanks to the effects of the Oath of Harmony, Stormy started charging up the shot, the creature however was no idiot, Stormy is a sitting duck while charging, it hit the floor with his back hooves, so hard it made Stormy lose his balance, then, he bucked Stormy and made him drop the party cannon, Luna attacked the creature, but the creature let out a powerful lighting magic, to electrocute her, similar in shape as the attack that Black Alicorn used.

Stormy got himself up and searched in his saddlebags, using the moon tear amulet magic, he charged not the element energy, but his own moondust magic, he put all his strength and got closer to the creature, ending below it, in close range to the creature torso, their exposed ribs, Stormy horn glow, he let out a powerful blast was more than enough to rip his organs from the inside and make a hole on the creature chest.

“GROAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAWWL”

The knockback effect was enough to lift a the creature a few feet from this, just enough for Luna to return the favor and use her own lighting spell, Stormy jumped towards the princess before he was fried along with the Bloated Butcher. Being an Alicorn, it was far more powerful than the one the creature used, the creature screamed in a distorted voice as it felt to the floor, bleeding its dark red blood on the floor, both ponies took their time and searched for the party cannon, Stormy found it and again, got ready to shoot the final blow, Luna stood behind the cannon, just at time for the creature to notice them, starting to recover, the effects of the song were running out, wounded already from the stabs, Luna assault and the moondust magic destroying his organs from inside, Luna returned to normal and Stormy had charged shot to its max, the Laughter Element shinned like never before

“Disappear! And don’t torture us any more!” Both ponies said at the unison, as they fired the cannon.

From the cannon, a powerful blast of concentrated magic followed by streamers and confetti, was shot towards the enemy, however, the blast had the form of Pinkie Pie, and it was actually, ready to give a good punch, towards the creature, Stormy could swear that he heard Pinkie voice saying “Stay away from my brother!“

As the blast hit the creature so hard, it’s roars of pain echoed on the altered castle walls, the creature dropped its butcher knife, falling to the cold steel floor, Stormy saw how the creature felt to his back, surprisingly, almost dead, Stormy and Luna got closer to the creature and Stormy took the butcher knife, now targeting the stomach, he stabbed the belly of the beast, enough to make a clear cut and try to find his brother, so he could take him out from the creature insides, he felt finally the hoof of his brother, holding him tighter as possible, Stormy started to pull, getting covered in the dried blood of the creature he just took with Luna’s help.

Mistshine was attached to the creature however, so the more they pushed, the more the creature scream and dark blood felt on the floor, the creature made one final push and lifted its hoof, Stormy having more than enough strength, picked up the creature signature weapon and cut the creature stomach once more, ripping off from his brother coat the fleshy web that held him, finally, his brother was free, and finally, with one last pull, ripping Mistshine out of the creature belly entirely, made the monster cry in agony, as it started to melt, Stormy had finally his brother on his hooves, he could feel his breathing, Mistshine was alive.

“Brother, finally, I’m never letting you go again.“ He said as he hugged his brother closely to him, crying but smiling.

“Brother… say something to me” a younger voice was heard.

From the puddle of blood that was lying before him, he could see something else, a reflection of his younger self, but fighting Blackhorn in the same place he currently was, the castle lobby, this time Luna could also see it, as she saw the unicorn that made her stallion suffer, Stormy saw the final memory at last, closing the last page of his past.

After the bidding light the unicorn used before, Stormy could not see, he was already too weak to fight, but the unicorn had set a scenario for him, when the light faded, Stormy saw his brother in a bubble, just like in his fight, but this one was being filled with water, the spell was made by the black unicorn, Stormy noticed the unicorn teleported and taking Mistshine with him, so Stormy searched for him in the castle, during his exploration he found the Book of Harmony and got an idea, learning then a few songs from it, he placed it on his broken thief suit pocket, and returned to the lobby, just to be received with a powerful blow from the butcher knife Blackhorn had, Stormy let his guard down, the blade had cut his back and it didn’t too much for him to start bleeding, his strength was leaving him, and all he could see, was Mistshine bubble, half full already, Blackhorn stepped above him, holding him in place.

“Hold that pose kiddo!, you will make my final trophy…oh yes… you will look beautiful as your face shows the desperation of your last moments! “ the unicorn said holding his butcher knife with his magic.

“Bite…my…plot” Stormy said, as his horn glowed.

“No no no little one, no magic, is enough I had to hear at my sisters moans while you were using it“ Blackhorn said with disgust as he injected Stormy with a needle that contained a inhibitor, he could not focus any spell.

“ahhhhh…” Stormy used what he had of physical strength and took a sharp rock and hit his foe in his left eye.

“AAAAH!!!! YOU LITTLE BASTARD!!“ Blackhorn screamed as he stepped away from the colt

“Im not going to run anymore, if go down, I will take you with me! “ Stormy said as he took out his ocarina.

Stormy quickly played the Oath of Harmony, since he was near the real element of harmony pedestal, this made the elements shine, Blackhorn used his knife again but the Laughter rock protected Stormy, the round stoned floated around him and like if it was alive, served as a moving shield, Stormy controlled it and hit Blackhorn several times, with it until the unicorn kicked the element high up to the sky.

“Looks like you ran out of ideas,“ Blackhorn said as he smiled sickly again.

“hahahahaha…..HAHAHAHAHA!” Stormy started to laugh, happy, the purple mist lost its influence.

“What in the hoof you find funny?” Blackhorn questioned, showing an angry look at Stormy’s lack of fear

“Because… you forgot where in Equestria we are standing on, my marefriend says hi by the way,” Stormy said as he moved his hoof holding a pink bottle liquid.

Stormy was no Master Illusionist, but his lover was, her potion making were focused more on illusions rather than manipulation, not only that, but Redhoof compassionate heart gave her illusions potion non-lethal properties such as sleep potions or quick knock out potions, except for one, the pink bottle that Stormy had contained Redhoof only known sample of the “Climax Punishment”, a special potion she devolved for using when someone mess up with her coltfriend, Stormy smiled at the irony of the situation and launched the bottle splattering the contents all over Blackhorn face, his eyes, skin and mouth were covered and just like the illusionist she was, Redhoof potion made Blackhorn quick suffer effect and made him terrified, as he saw behind Stormy not only his dead sister, but also Sunnybreeze behind him, both of them shielding Stormy affectively while looking angry at the dark unicorn, specially Redhoof, her eyes reflected an anger that was not usual on the loyal pony she was.

“Let’s see if you enjoy having somepony else screw with your head Ave Ascende di immortals!” Stormy yelled reciting one of the many chants Redhoof used along with a pose.

Thanks to the Climax Punishment potion, Blackhorn saw how the image of his sister grew in size and kissed her hoof, before squashing him hard like a bug, leaving nothing but a red stain on the floor of the ancient castle.

However, reality was other scenario, as Blackhorn just stayed there, dizzy and out of himself, Stormy just had to held the pose in place and the potion took care of his sanity, this was his chance to cut the enemy magic short, before that though, he freed Mistshine from his water prison and he got his sword read, he jumped towards Blackhorn, cutting the horn on his foe clean off.

Sadly this prove to be a terrible idea, as the pain from cutting such an essential part of a unicorn body was enough to make Blackhorn react and get out of the illusion he was, he yelled and cursed about the fact that he lost his horn, however, once he tasted the remains of Redhoof potion mixed with his blood, he smiled.

“The Climax Punishment potion huh?, gotta admit, I was not expecting that kind of tricks from my little sister,” Blackhorn said ready to shoot both ponies with needles charged with poison.

“B-but you should be dead by now!” Stormy protested, seeing how this pony survived everything he threw at him.

“True, I should, if you had left the illusion going for longer that is, my mind would have suffered a mind crash due to the ingredients, but your actions broke me free, thanks a lot kid, as a reward, I will give both a quick death,” Blackhorn said as he shoot several needles towards both ponies.

“ Help, somepony!!!, ANYPONY!!! AAAAAH!!“ Stormy plead and yelled of pain, covering his brother body with his own, receiving the blow.

“Nopony will hear you scream in the forest idiot!, you trapped yourself!” Blackhorn said, as he picked up his blade and rose it.

“Stop right there criminal scum!“ a powerful magic came and hit the unicorn from behind.

“Royal Guards, what are you doing?, I’m the victim here!“ Blackhorn objected, hiding his needles.

“oh Really?” the guards made room for 2 ponies to come, one that followed them all the way from Manehatten, it was officer Keeneye “because your recent actions says otherwise,“

“You!…but…but I though that---” Blackhorn was confused however, the pony that was next to him made him drop his weapon in shock. “---oh buck me”

“You though you could keep the police in Manehatten quiet and deceive your princess forever, based on fear and lies?” Princess Celestia herself said as she enters the room, her expression showed an angry look, she was holding the Element of Laughter stone.

“Oh crap, here we go,“ Blackhorn said as his hooves placed on his pockets.

“Subjects like yourself disgust me, but I’m willing to offer you a fair trial, come quietly or you will force my hoof, “ her voice was very serious as her horn started glowing.

“I chose the second one” Blackhorn said with a mad smile.

Blackhorn got his needles ready and jumped towards the princess, but he felt a cold sensation going down his spine, when he looked behind, he found that Stormy, used the same sleep needle he used on him and drew him unconscious, Celestia having short patience attacked Blackhorn with a powerful fire spell, burning his coat, Stormy only let a few words before collapsing on the floor

“I could kill you for what you done to me, but then I would become you, I guess the decision was made, root in jail you monster,” Stormy said as he felt to the floor, not letting go of his brother.

“Guards!, quickly!, take him to Canterlot Hospital!, I will deliver the little colt myself,” Celestia ordered as she took Mistshine and his medical equipment

The Princess put back the Laughter Stone on it’s pedestal and it was then when it lost its glow, the song effects had ended, the memory faded to a crimson color, the blood that reflected that memory escaped across the holes in the floor, a door appeared behind them, on the main castle doors next to the Elements Pedestal, revealing to Stormy his exit, big enough for the 3 Ponies to escape, they do not know what lies behind that door, but now, they had each other, The Princess first put her hoof on the big handle, Stormy put his hoof on the handle also, next to the princess hoof, while he had Mistshine on his back, the little colt kept holding on his brother raincoat, indicating he knew he was safe, both ponies opened the door, a bright light was waiting for them, so bright it was almost blinding, but they stepped in together, at the same time, disappearing from that place, then, there was only silence in the ancient castle, except for one small sound, the doorknob falling down, never allowing that door to be opened up anymore.

It felted like hours, before he could clearly hear any sounds, a familiar voice, followed by a name, a name he knew, let him know he was getting back to consciousness.

“Pinkie!, Pinkie!, he is finally waking up!” the voice of a female unicorn could be heard
