When they pased the gate the five ponies found themselves in a beutiful place, almost like a palace. It was bright, with white columns a lot of plants and waterfalls. The bauble then disappeared and they all started talking.

"We did it!" Cadence laughed. "We did it again!"

"Yes! I can't believe it! He almost had us there!" Twlight said with a laugh.

"But, what happened to Nocturne?" Celestia asked.

"The Light denied him, as i expected." Crossbleser said.

"What do you mean Crossbleser?" Twilight asked.

"This place is protected. The Light alone can recognise what is Good and Pure from Evil and Malevolent, thus granting passage to those who fit these qualities."

"I see." Twilight said.

"Then now that we are here we have no more time to waste! We better get these weapons and face Nocturne before he can hurt anypony else." Luna exclaimed.

"Yes, all in good time. But first i want you to meet somepony." Crossbleser said with a smile.

The two royal sisters looked at each other and then back to Crossbleser.

"Who exactly?" Celestia asked.

Crossbleser then let out a laugh and said.

"Trust me, you will be very surprised when you see them, oh and that goes for you two Princesses." He said as he pointed to Twilight and Cadence.

The group then started walking across the library, all of them still gazing at it's beautiful features and sensing it's calming aura. Soon after they followed some stairs that appeared to led them to a giant slab supported by columns. It was then however that as they kept climing the stairs they started hearing voices coming from up top. Celestia payed close attention to the voices and it was then that she felt her heart beating real fast.

She then immediately started running up the stairs.

"Celestia wait!" Luna said.

When Celestia walked on the final stair her gaze was stuck on them.

"Celestia what is it?" Luna asked.

And it was then that she too saw what Celestia was looking at.

Soon Crossbleser and the others made their way next to them and they all saw them.

"Mother?" Celestia asked.

She just smiled at her and then Celestia started running towards her tears of joy.

"MOTHER!"

Celestia then hugged tightly her mother not wanting to let go.

"Don't worry, it's alright now."

Then from the corner of her eye she saw her father along with Starswhirl.

"FATHER!" Luna shouted and she too started running towards him and hugged him too.

"I am glad you are safe Luna, i was so worried! I thought that you too were going to die!" He said.

"Father i......" And she hugged him even more.

Starswhirl then made his way to Crossbleser. The two hugged each other and said.

"It's good to finaly see that you are back."

"Yes and i have brought them all here as planned."

"I see."

Twilight and Cadence then surrounded Starswirl.

"Oh my God! Starswirl the Beared! IN THE FLESH!" Twilight said.

"We are your biggest fans! I can't believe that you finaly got the chance to see you!"

Starswirl then smiled and said.

"I know you do, we have been watching you all for a very long time."

Then King Cosmos said.

"Alright everypony listen up, first of all i am glad that you all made your way here safe and sound."

King Cosmos appeared to be taller than a grown stallion, his eyes were very dark desaturated blue, his coat was very dark blue with stars, his mane was very dark violet and his cutie mark was a dark grayish blue star.

"My name is King Cosmos i am very happy to meet you." He said as he made his way to Twilight and Cadence.

"Wow" The two mares said.

"So...you are Celestia's and Luna's father?" Twilight

He let out a smile and said.

"But of course and just like Starswirl said, we have been watching you all for a very long time."

Then Queen Galaxia joined them and said.

"Yes, we have never seen such capable Alicorns perform such trials."

"W-we are honored your highness." Twilight said and appeared to be a little shocked.

"Please, you can calm me.....Galaxia."

Queen Galaxia was taller than a grown stallion, her eyes were slightly desaturated red, her coat was light grayish yellow with darker tones on the wings, tip of the horn and the hooves, her mane was dark moderate blue with stars and her cutie mark was a milky way.

"It's amazing! All of you here alive! But....how?" Celestia asked.

"I brought them with me after i.....was revived. We set up a base here and we started watching over you."

"But....why didn't you return? What was the hold up?" Luna asked.

"Nocturne....." Queen Galaxia said.

"Just like us he has been watching, at first i wanted to go there face my son and tell him the truth, but he wouldn't believe me." King Cosmos said.

"Yes, after Princess Celestia and Luna got here, i resumed their training in magic ever since Crossbleser was not present. Then one day i was visited by him, he told me that i had to disappear to come with him and watch you from above and be ready to face Nocturne."

"So that's the reason why you were gone. You never abandoned us." Luna said.

"No, i didn't. Even though that was the hardest deceison of my life, i had to leave you both and create weapons that can hurt Nocturne. That was the plan."

"And what about Phobetor? Crossbleser told us somethings about him." Cadence said.

"Phobetor....he is the source, he is the reason why Nocturne is fighting us." Queen Galaxia said.

"When Nocturne 'consumed' Phobetor he didn't die. Only his body and when Nocturne returned back home Phobetor was able to get closer to me and gain control over time. After he was in complete control he did everything he could do anger Nocturne, so that he may turn on us."

"In result, i was killed along with the rest us." Queen Galaxia said.

"But! Can't you show Nocturne the truth? Convince him that Phobetor is alive? And that he still is plotting against us?" Twilight asked.

"That doesn't change the fact that he has killed who knows how many! And he almost killed my husband and my child! And not just my family he was almost able to kill, countless families have died beacuse of him! Even if he returns on our side he can not be forgiven!" Cadence exclaimed.

"We....know, that is why these weapons were created and......as for showing him the truth......there is a way." Queen Galaxia said.

"What do you have in mind mother?" Luna asked.

Then Queen Galaxia, Crossbleser, Starswirl and King Cosmos started looking at each other, appearing to be worried.

"You....you don't have to worry about that, we.....we have a plan." Starswirl said.

"Y-yes we do um.....oh yes! The weapons, now that you are here we have to give them you, you are going to need them just in case he won't turn good again." King Cosmos said.

Then Starswirl approached Twilight and gave her a small golden hilt of a sword.

"Princess Twilight, with this in hoof you must go to the Tree Of Harmony along with your friends. There your weapon will be complete."

"But i thought the weapons were ready."

"They are, they just need something more than magic and steel to work. These weapons must be made with the emotions that surround you. The bonds that you have created with your friends, they must be fordged, into this sword. You must take them with you to the Tree Of Harmony, only there the sword will be made." Starswirl said and he backed away.

Crossbleser then approached Cadence and told her.

"Princess Cadence, you amongst all others represent the element that units the ponies of this world together. Love. And so with the love of your Husband and Child...."

He then gave her a long beutiful string.

"You must complete this bow."

"A bow?"

"Yes, love on each own is nothing, love is only at it's finest when a bond is created amongst two ponies. A love that will guide them through Good and Evil, through Happyness and Hardships, it is your love for your family that will make a bow so powerful that it can pierce and cut through all the Hate like papper."

"But, what do you mean with the Love of my husband and child?"

"They both are very special to you, if the bow is to be completed, then you must take both of them with you to a journey to defeat Nocturne and you must never give up on them."

King Cosmos then approached his daughter Luna, he smiled at her and then said.

"You Luna, every night you fight to protect the inhabitants of our world from their Nightmares. The task was growing harder and harder and when Nocturne came and in the end it became immposible to control such corruption and now, i am giving you this!"

King Cosmos then charged his powers and a long Dark Blue Scythe with a small light blue moon on it's side appeared.

All of them gazed into the beutiful scythe.

"Wow...." Twilight said.

"Take this power Luna, take it and use it to cleanse the world of terror!" Cosmos said as he gaze his daughter the scythe.

"Father this....i don't know what to say i....i am not sure that i can do it. This is too much and with that curse on me i don't believe that i have what it takes."

"My dear Luna, this weapon has been used in generations by our blood, your blood! Our ancestors kept the dream world in peace with this, if you deny it, then the world that you want to protect will be no more. So please, reconsider, after all it was meant that you would take up this scythe one day."

"I understand father, i will do everything i can to protect you! I promise!"

Then as soon as Luna picked up the scythe the red crystal on her forehead started glowing and she started grunting in pain.

"Luna!" Celestia exclaimed.

"Don't worry Celestia, we know what we are doing."

Then after a few more seconds of pain the red crystal poped out of her forehead and fell down on the ground.

King Cosmos then smashed the crystal with his hoof and he destroyed it.

"The Scythe has cured you Luna! And i know that you can do it! You are my daughter after all."

Luna then awkwardly smiled and said.

"Thank you father, i will not disappoint you."

"As for you Celestia, we have something different." Galaxia said.

"What is it mother?"

"You Celestia unlike the others will have to take your weapon from there!"

Queen Galaxia then pointed her hoof to a huge metal gate.

"Don't let the appearence of the gate deceive you princess, this gate is sealed with our magics, our powers and the Light's." Starswirl said.

"But what's in there?" Celestia asked.

"In there you will find every artifact, every weapon that Nocturne had collected in his journeys, but be wared. You will be tested Celestia and if you fail the Light will abandon you." Queen Galaxia said.

"I will not fail this task and i will not be tempted by these weapons, i will go in and return with the weapon that will.....destroy Nocturne." Celestia said with a determent look.

"Good, then be prepared we will open the gate." Galaxia said.

Then King Cosmos, Queen Galaxia, Crossbleser and Starswirl all stood in front of the door. They charged their horns and four beams struck the door, one was dark blue, the other light red, white and gold.

The gate then opened and revealed only darkness.

The four ponies walked away and Celestia asked.

"And how exactly will i recognize it?"

"You will." Crossbleser said.

"And when you do you must never give up on it." King Cosmos said.

"Go now Celestia and be careful. Some of the weapons are.....more alive thank you think."

Celestia then walked towards the gate and when she entered it, it closed by itself.

"Here i go." She said and she started walking across the dark room.

The room itself seemed endless. With no sign of light or something to guide her towards the weapon that she needed and it was then that she heard a voice.

"Greetings Princess...."

"Whos there!?" She said as she turned in all directions to meet the one who called out for her.

"No need to worry princess, i won't hurt you....well Nocturne will when he gets me back."

"Get you back?"

And from behind her a giant green scythe appeared with a big red eye next to it's blade.

"What the! What are you!"

"My name is not important, but do tell me what are you doing here daughter of Galaxia and Cosmos?"

"My businesses are my own 'scythe'!"

And she began walking away.

"Are they now?"

And it appeared right before her.

"Come on now, why won't you tell me? After all you must have a VERY good reason to come here after what happened back in the castle, don't you think?"

Celestia stopped and asked.

"Just what is it that you want?"

Then a laughter was heard from the scythe and it replied.

"Tell me Celestia, what has happened to Nocturne? What has happened to that puppet of Phobetor?"

"I guess i have no choice now do i? Oh well long story short he thinks that he has killed Phobetor but in reality he is still alive and he still controls Nocturne."

"Is that so? To think that he can kill an Eldritch God just like that....ha! I mean Dagon wasn't that hard to beat, but really? Did he try to kill Phobetor?"

"Apperantly yes."

The scythe then laughed again and said.

"And i assume that he is after you now for 'betraying' him?"

"Yes, you got that right."

"And now here you are looking for a weapon am i right?"

Celestia slightly nodded.

"Well you are looking at a powerful weapon right now my dear. Take me outside of this vault and i will help you deal with Nocturne."

"What? No way! I am not going to let you out of here, i may not know who or what you are but i do know that Nocturne used you to bring terror and destruction! I am not siding with you!"

"True, Nocturne did use my powers to bring terror and destruction but think about it like this.....i am a powerful being Celestia! I am more powerful than you can imagine! But not in this form! Not when i am stuck in this scythe! HEARING THE VOICES OF ALL THOSE THAT IT HAS REAPED! But you can change that, lend me your body! Lend me your power and together we will crush Nocturne!"

"NEVER! I WILL NEVER BE TEMPTED BY YOUR DARK POWERS!"

Then a light shinned from behind her.

"What the...." She asked as she turned around to see a beautfiul golden long sword stuck on a stone.

Celestia then started slowly walking towards the sword, she felt something calling out for her.

"Where do you think you are going!" The scythe asked at it followed her around floating.

"I am stronger than the sword that stands before you Celestia! I AM THE ONE WHO CAN TRULY DEFEAT NOCTURNE!" The scythe exclaimed.

Celestia just ignored it's words and made her way to the sword and when she finaly reached she charged her horn and the white hilt of the sword was covered in Celestia's magic.

She then began pulling the sword slowly. And she grunted, she hissed but then from above the sword a beam of Light struck her and she then began hearing a voice.

"For He rescued us from the domain of darkness, and transferred us to the kingdom of His beloved Son. And now you will be the one who will free this world and finaly wake up from your slumber."

After Celestia heard those words, she immediately pulled the sword from the stone and It then started radiating light. The sword on top of it's hilt had a sun crest and it's blade was golden at first and from the middle to the tip the blade was white along with some weird texts from the hilt to the tip of the sword.

She wasted no time, she then run straight back to the exit and the door opened.

When she got out the others gazed at the beauty of the sword and Queen Galaxia said.

"Celestia...you did it!" And she hugged her.

"Yes mother i did it!" And she hugged her back.

"Good, now you four must get out of here before he arrives." Starswirl said.

"You are coming with us, we are not leaving you behind!" Luna exclaimed.

Then however they all heard and a laughter and from the stairs Nocturne rose and faced them.

"Going somewhere?" Nocturne asked.

"NOCTURNE?!" They all shouted.

"Immposible! How were you able to pass the gates?! How did the Light grant you passage?"

"A good question Crossbleser." Nocturne said and then he lifted his hoof for all to see that it was an aura of Light around it.

"The Light never abandoned me Crossbleser. There IS still good in me! Even though the Light does hurt a bit right now. But after all, the Blood Of The Old Gods is running in my veins."

He then gazed over to the four princesses and said.

"And....these are the weapons that will 'kill' me?"

"They are capable of doing so! And also those that weild them!" Starswirl said.

"We shall see!" Nocturne said and then prepared to get up on two hooves.

Seeing that Cosmos shouted.

"Nocturne wait!"

"Don't tell me, you are going to say that Phobetor is alive correct?"

"Yes, yes he is Nocturne! It was him who took control of me that day! And even now as we speak he plots against us to destroy all Creation!"

"Nocturne please, he is telling the truth! We all are!" Galaxia said.

Nocturne then slowly got back on four hooves and said.

"There is only one way to know for sure."

"Yes....you are right..." Crossbleser said.

"Then Consume the four of us Nocturne! Consume us and let the terrible truth worm it's way into your mind!" Starswirl said.

But then Celestia got in front of them and said.

"Nocturne no! I won't let you kill them!"

"Can't you just accept that we are telling you the truth?!" Luna asked.

"No, no i can't! I need to know for myself! Because when i put my faith in those around me, well i always end up with a knife stuck in my back. NOW STAND ASIDE!"

Then with a gesture Nocturne pushed back Celestia. Crossbleser then used his magic to creat a light shield around them.

"You four now need to return to the Crystal Empire and prepare yourselves!" Starswirl said as he opened up a portal behind them.

"Please no! Don't do this! Nocturne stop this madness i beg you!" Celestia said as she was hiting the shield

Then her mother approached her and said with a smile.

"Don't worry my sweet, after this is done you, the others AND Nocturne must combine yours powers and defeat Phobetor, it's the only choice we have."

"Mother....."

"Now go!"

Galaxia's horn the got darker and two black tentacles pushed the four alicorn princesses into the portal and they returned to the Crystal Empire.
