“Love” and “Hate.” These were the words, Professor Twilight Sparkle wrote on the blackboard for her students at her School of Friendship.

“You see class, friendship is based mostly around love and trust, but there is only a thin line that separates Love from Hate, and that’s why you must always be careful not to spark the hatred, even if you don’t mean it.”

One pony raised her hoof, “Professor Twilight, how do we control love and hate? Isn’t there some way so there could only be the love, or the hate?”

Twilight thought as best she could and could only answer with, “Well, the truth is, Love and Hate are a balance, and as I have just said, anything can tip that balance so suddenly and cause a complete turnaround.

Every-Creature is capable of feeling love and hate, but how these two forces are handled is exactly the subject we’re going to looking into, because I believe if we can all learn to really find perfect balance; if there is truly a way Every-Creature could control these emotions, then there could be great chances of unity and peace for all involved.”

The students all seemed very intrigued and wanted to learn more, but unfortunately the bell rang, and every-creature was forced to get up and leave as Twilight announced, “Please read chapter one through five in your text-books, they will be useful in this week’s study of Love and Hate.”

The students all bid her good-day as they filed out of the class room, and Starlight Glimmer and Spike came in.

“So, how did it go?” asked Spike.

Twilight giggled, “I think I’ve got them hooked on the perfect subject. This Love and Hate stuff will make great with the curriculum.”

Starlight agreed, “Well, given all our past experiences,” she paused and muttered softly “Mine included” then she spoke normal again “There’s no one better suited to teach it than us.”

As the trio headed off down the hallways, more and more students were up and about, and getting along so well.

Some were studying together.

Some were helping other carry big stacks of books or opening doors politely.

Others were walking home together after the day’s classes, and this all brought great pride to Twilight’s heart.

Twilight just had to sing about it as music filled the air, and Starlight and Spike joined in too…

Every-creature did shout that last line, and one-by-one, all of Twilight’s friends were seen helping their students staying after school with some of their studies.

Rarity studying the fashion class…

Rainbow Dash and her P.E class in the fields…

Fluttershy and her nature and animal class, all being kind to the animals and pets at the school…

Applejack and Pinkie Pie in the bakeshop, baking friendship goodies…

Pinkie Pie munched on some cupcakes, “Yeah, I can feel it especially. Mm-mmm!”

“Pinkie Pie!” snapped Applejack.

“What? I just feel it.”

And all the creatures and ponies began to march along the school singing,

Soon, the school had to be locked up for the night, but Twilight invited all her friends to the Castle of Friendship for dinner.

“Looks like we’ve got mail.” said Spike pointing at how full the mailbox was by the gates.

There was one letter in a pink envelope with blue edges, from the Crystal Empire, and there was also two small packages, each with a regular letter attached to them, with Princess Celestia’s seal on them.

“Ooh, ooh, this all looks important.” chirped Pinkie “What are they? What are they? What are they?”

“Oh, really, Pinkie Pie, have you no shame?” scolded Rarity “That mail isn’t ours and we have no business prying into it.”

That’s what she wanted to stick by, but then she began to quiver in anxiety.

Twilight actually didn’t mind sharing her mail with her friends.

Once inside the castle, Twilight read the letter from the Crystal Empire, which was from Shining Armor and Princess Cadance, saying that they were going to come for a visit with Flurry Heart, and that the couple had accepted Twilight’s offer to give a few lectures at her school about Love.

“That’s awesome!” cried Rainbow “Maybe they can tell about the time they blasted away the Changelings at the Royal Canterlot Wedding.”

The rest of the gang was actually skeptical about that, worrying if the students who were reformed Changelings would really want to hear about their history when they were evil again.

“Well, we are teaching about hatred as well.” said Starlight “And we are teaching about how to balance the two forces out.”

Twilight agreed.

Fluttershy seemed more interested in the packages and she wondered, “What do you suppose these are?”

Twilight opened the first package, revealing a small chest, and inside was large brooch, with a very dark jewel in the middle and surrounded by a large thick band of gold.

All the gang gawk at in awe.

“I’ve never seen anything like this.” remarked Rarity, and she admired her reflection in the jewel’s shiny surface.

Spike began to droll in hunger at the sight of it and nearly lost control wanting to taste it.

“Spike…!” Twilight snapped as she levitated him up in the air, “Try to control yourself.”

Spike chuckled nervously.

“What’s the letter say?” asked Applejack, and Twilight read Celestia’s letter out loud.

“Wow, from another world?” said Pinkie as she looked at the jewel, and took it in her hooves, shaking it vigorously.

Starlight levitated it out of her grip, “Take it easy.”

Pinkie slumped back into her chair.

Twilight then opened the second package, revealing a very old and worn out tome that had no tittle but a shiny emblem of a flame on the cover, and it didn’t seem to have very many pages within it.

While Starlight examined the book, Twilight read Celestia’s other letter aloud.

“Whoa…!” Starlight softly exclaimed while looking at the pages “Listen to this...”

All the gang huddled around and she quoted from the book…

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2TOZwZIgPtI

“Thousands of years ago, there was a powerful and evil creature named “Yamimakai.”

The pictures below in the book were very faded due to age, but the drawings, in black and splattered ink was still easy to make out, almost like looking at an ancient tapestry.

There was a humanoid creature, with big and spiky hair holding a monstrous looking sword, and commanding an army of soldiers to wreak havoc on the land.

Starlight continued to read from the passages…

“Yamimakai, was a powerful and magical creature and very skilled fighter, no one know where he had come from.

He believed that Hatred and Power meant strength and Kindness and Love were weakness, and he sought to rule the world with chaos and hatred unimaginable.

The more hatred and the more chaos that spread, the stronger he became, and anyone who stood up to him lost their lives!”

More images showing of the evil warrior slaughtering many beings and burning down homes and towns, which made everyone sweat and tremble as Starlight continued to read.

“Finally deciding that Yamimakai and his forces needed to stopped, a wise and noble prince had assembled an army of his own to do battle, fighting Love with against Hate.

The war waged on for years, and many soldiers were lost, and eventually the Prince and confronted Yamimakai in single combat.

The two fought valiantly, and seemed to be equal in strength, and the two were injured badly.

The prince then cast a powerful spell to seal the evil leader within the blade of his magical sword.

The sword was then placed deeply into a magical pedestal, and it was planned to be sealed away to keep it safe, but before this could be done, something mysterious happened…

…The sword had just disappeared, pedestal and everything, and it was gone!

Its whereabouts and how it vanished forever remained unknown.”

There was hardly much more to read as there were no more pages; as the letter had stated.

The friends were all flabbergasted that such an evil could have existed, and they had their share of evil villains before.

“This really will make a good point of interest.” said Twilight “A perfect example of what can happen if you give in to that much hatred.”

“Gosh,” said Spike “I’d have hate to have lived in those days. All that hate, war, destruction.” He paused and realized “…You don’t think that sort to thing could happen again?”

“I should sincerely hope not!” cried Rarity “I can’t picture anyone having that much hate in their body.”

Applejack nodded, “Still, we’re overlooking something; we’re all good friends, and we’re teaching others to be good friends.

I don’t think there’s anything in this world that could strike up all that fuss again.”

All the friends agreed, and if they only knew how correct Applejack was. There was nothing that could cause that much trouble to rise again…

…Not in their world, anyway!

There were other worlds out there, and not all of them were like Equestria.

There was one world in particular where a lot was happening…!

In a place called Jump City in another dimension, an evil creature was attacking a recycling plant.

This monster had the power to absorb forms of matters and meld into it, thus gaining its power an abilities.

This creature was also being attacked by four powerful super heroes, known as the Teen Titans, and it was defeating them so easily thanks to its shifting abilities, making it difficult to find.

Cyborg was not able to track it with his scanning, and Raven could not make psychic contact with it when it disappeared into the walls or the floor.

“Where has it gone?” cried Starfire.

“Keep your eyes peeled.” said Robin.

Suddenly, without warning, the creature burst out of the floor, right beneath Robin and sent him hurling into the air.

Starfire flew up and caught her boyfriend.

“Thanks, Star.” he said, and she smiled lovingly at him.

The monster reverted back into its white form and glared at the heroes.

“Get it before it shifts again!” shouted Robin.

He jumped out of Starfire’s arms and threw his mini-bombs at it, while Starfire threw her star-bolts. Cyborg fired his sonic cannon and Raven unleashed waves of dark aura, but the creature dodged and batted off every shot thrown at it, and then it grabbed onto a cable-box on the wall, pulling the wires out and then absorbing the sparking electricity.

“Look out!” shouted Cyborg as the creature began to fire electrical pulses at the team forcing them to dodge about.

Then using its abilities, the creature melded into the wires themselves and began to manipulate all the machinery in the plant, including the huge electro-magnet crane, which lifted Cyborg up as he was mostly metal.

“Get me down!” he shouted.

Raven flew up to him and tried to pull him free, then Starfire joined, but the creature had set the magnet’s pull to maximum. It was like trying to pull on a huge mountain. The girls couldn’t budge him an inch.

Then all three of them noticed the crane was lifting them all over to a huge, flaming incinerator!

“ROBIN…!!!” Cyborg shouted.

“I’ll try and stop it!” and Robin bounded straight at the main controls, but the creatures wouldn’t allow this, and used its power to create a huge and high-voltage electric barrier around the panel so he couldn’t get anywhere near it without frying himself.

Robin realized his only chance was to find the creature itself, but because it was hiding within the wirings within walls he had no idea where to look!

It really looked as if Cyborg was going to be fried to nothing were it not for another Titan bursting through the walls, as a big green-elephant, and actually knocking the creature out of the wall.

“Beast Boy…!” Robin called.

The green changeling morphed back into his human self, and with the creature no longer controlling the power, the magnet was shut down and Cyborg was set loose.

He landed on the ground and the girls went down beside him.

“About time you showed up!” called Cyborg “I was always a melted mess.”

Beast Boy hardly seemed to have heard him, as he was standing where he was with a strange look on his face, and panting softly but deeply, as though he was under a great deal of stress.

The creature then got up, and melded into the floor to try and make its escape.

“Beast Boy, sniff it out!” called Robin.

Beast Boy heard him, and morphed into a bloodhound, and he was able to pick up the distinct scent of the creature and motioned exactly to where it was in the floor.

“Titans, attack!” shouted Robin.

One-by-one the Titans attacked and blasted at the floor, forcing the creature to reveal itself, and after a large barrage of multiple attacks form different directions, the creature finally gave out and collapsed on the floor, allowing the Titans to finally apprehend it!

Soon the police had come to take the creature to a special high-tech prison, and while there were many damages done to the recycling plant, the owner was not that angry as he had insurance.

“Thanks to all the changes in the city, there’s more insurance policies.” he said “Anyone who suffers collateral damages can get a good deal depending on the severity.”

Then he shook hands with Robin, “Still, thank you for saving my joint, and I’m glad you guys are back.”

“No sweat.” replied Robin, and then he went off to regroup with his team, and he found them scolding Beast Boy.

“You should’ve been with us!” sneered Cyborg “This neglecting your team has got to stop.”

“Friend Cyborg is right!” agreed Starfire “I can understand that you claim to have seen Terra…”

“…I DID see her!” sneered Beast Boy, but he decided not to go any further and explain the whereabouts of the teams former friend.

Earlier that day, he had attempted to reconcile with her at the Murakami School where she now attended as a normal girl.

While she claimed to have lost her memories of the titans, her super powers, and most of all the romance she had shared with Beast Boy…

He finally managed unveil it, she hadn’t lost her memories, but she also made it clear that she didn’t want to remember the Titans, her past, the things she had done, and wanted to peruse a normal life.

She wanted to forget everything, including him. She made it clear that she no longer wished to see him, and wanted nothing to do with him, the Titans, or anything they once shared.

“Things Change, Beast Boy. The girl you want me to be is just a memory!”

Hearing what she said, and the way she just kicked him where it hurt most, it just played over and over in his mind, bringing him more stress.

“Enough!” Robin said, and then he too addressed Beast Boy, “Look, I get that your conflicted because you miss Terra, but you have to let go of the past. You have a duty to your team, and I don’t ever want to know of you even thinking of ditching us again.

…You understand?”

As if he weren’t already upset enough from the events of that day, Beast Boy felt his anger and rage building up inside of him, and he really felt like giving it to Robin hard, but he managed to resist the urge.

“I got it.” he simply said.

“Good.

Let’s all go and get some pizza. I’m starved.”

Sarfire and Cyborg followed him, passing by Beast Boy, with angry expressions directed at him, and as for Raven, she swatted him upside the head!

“Ow! What was that for?!” he protested, but Raven didn’t bother to answer and went on to catch up with the others.

“Beast Boy, let’s go!” snapped Robin, but even though he had just promised not to ditch the team, he really didn’t feel like being around them right now, even if they hadn’t just talked down to him, whether it was understandable or not.

He just changed into a bird and flew off, heading in the direction of Titan’s Tower.

“Beast Boy…” called Starfire, but he didn’t come back.

“Never mind,” said Robin “He needs time to think, about his duties, his loyalties…”

“…And how to grow up.” grumbled Raven “I get that he misses Terra, but that’s no excuse to keep ditching us.”

“Still,” said Starfire “I suppose we should all reconcile ourselves to the fact that our friend will never return to us.”

“Probably.” said Robin “Even if this girl could be our Terra, I think we should respect whatever wishes she has and not bother with her.”

Cyborg sighed, “I just hope BB can get over her.”

“He will,” said Robin “He’s got to. Everyone has to move on. It’s only way to mature and grow up.”

On their way to the Pizza Place, they passed by the Murkami School, where the students were all on lunch break, and many were eating outside or just hanging in the yard until next period.

Terra was with her two friends, Jackie and Jillian.

She looked up and saw the Titans were passing by, and quickly grabbed one of her text-books, and held it open in front of her face hoping they wouldn’t see her.

They didn’t and went out of sight.

She peeked up over the rim and sighed in relief, but she also noticed Beast Boy was not with them.

“Girl, what is up with you?” asked Jackie.

“It’s nothing,” she lied trying to keep her friends and her past in the dark.

“I’m just glad you finally told off that creep, Brat Boy.” said Jillian.

“His name is “Beast Boy.” Terra corrected “And he’s not a creep, he just thought I was someone he knew, and I finally managed to convince him to move on.”

Her friends didn’t seem to care much.

“That’s no reason to stalk you like some pervert.” said Jackie.

Jillian cracked her knuckles, “If he shows his ugly green face around here again, I’ll turn him black and blue.”

Terra did not in the least like her tone. “Look, he’s gone, and he won’t be coming back. Okay, so let’s just drop it and move on with our lives.”

The girls felt she was sounding a little desperate to change the subject, but they agreed, and they all decided to head to the mall after school.

Soon, the bell rang, and the students had to file back inside for afternoon classes.

As Terra stood up to follow her friends, she could see across the street and right through the construction zone, through the incomplete office high-rise being built. She could see the ocean and Titan’s Tower on its little island way far out.

Just looking at it made a whole bunch of memories flash before her eyes-- goods times she had living there, playing games with the Titans, especially with Beast Boy.

She shook herself back to reality, and her new life. She was happy now, and felt safe and well with in her new school and hew new friends, and wanted to keep it that way.

…Wasn’t she?

Still, she did secretly think of earlier that day when Beast Boy confronted her, and she never forgot the look in his eyes when she told him to leave her in peace and that she was not willing to rejoin him or the Titans again…

…That look of pure heartbreak, loss of spirit.

“I’m sorry, Beast Boy.” she thought silently “I know this must hurt you, and I know it might take time, but this is for the best, and I know we’ll both be just fine.”

If she could only see what was going on right now…!

Beast Boy was in the gym, ruthlessly beating the stuffing out of the punching bag to lose his anger on.

Blow after blow, he socked it hard, and he only seemed to get madder and madder with each blow, because he was imagining the Titans’ faces, and he punched them all hard, especially Raven for hitting him in the head… for the umpteenth time.

While it was understandable they were mad at him for ditching the team, that was no excuse to really beat him down and show how very little they cared about his grieving!

Slade appeared too, and his voice taunting him about Terra.

“Don’t you see? She doesn’t want to see you anymore.

She no longer cares for you.

If the girl does not remember, it is because she chooses so.

…Let her go!”

“HA!!” he shouted as he gave the bag a final jab, breaking it right down from its hanger on the ceiling.

He was panting and huffing furiously, and he still felt he needed to let out some more steam, in a way that wouldn’t really break anything or hurt someone physically, other than himself.

So he went to his room, which was very messy with empty pizza-boxes, rotting foods, other sorts of clutter, and the smell was rancid, but he was used to it by now, which was why he never cleaned it.

He reached under the mattress of bottom bunk and pulled out a diary he kept, which was another of his blowing steam harmlessly.

The entire book was divided into segments, one for each of the Titans, and one for himself.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r5iwX3XX-kI

One-by-one he wrote in each segments for the Titans and you can bet what he wrote was anything but appealing about them.

Then it was over to his own section, which seemed to be many pages long, much longer than the other segments.

He thought quietly and carefully as wrote down what he had decided.

“While I may have respected Terra’s wishes, and I will leave her to live her new life in peace, I have reached my limit.

It’s become obvious to me that no matter how hard I try, no matter who I’m aligned with, no matter what things I do, I’ll never gain what I want, especially seeing as nobody seems to notice or care about it anyway.

The only course now is to stop trying. I’m fed up with always trying and failing, so at least this way I won’t build false hopes anymore, and I can accept the disappointment with less pain.

Still, sometimes, I really wish I could punish all these people. Anyone with half a brain would see they deserve it, and those who defend them would be punished too.

…But that won’t really help, will it.

At least I can confide with you, because unlike others, you can’t physically or emotionally hurt me.”

He felt a little calmer now that he had voiced his frustrations, but he didn’t feel a bit better, so he decided to just stretch out on his bed and fell asleep.

Author's Notes:

Wow, over 30 downvotes on one chapter in just a few hours.

Not like it's going to stop me making this fic anyway.
