The Dark CMC

"It's been three hours..." Rainbow Dash said. "I think Spike has been captured." She added.

"As much as I'd hate to admit it...I think Rainbow Dash is right." Applejack said. "Three hours is way too long for even spike for a simple scouting mission." She said. Suddenly they heard a sound coming from another room. "What was that?" She asked. All of a sudden, in walked Sunset Shimmer.

"Um...hey..." She said. "Look before you say anything..." The orange unicorn said before she was waved by Rarity.

"Twilight...sort of told us everything." Rairty said. "Apperently, you learnt friendship in an alternate world. Oh, and also changed for the better." She added.

"So in other words, your good now." Rainbow Dash said.

"Right..." Sunset said. "Anyways, I came over as soon as I had free time. Spike wrote that something was wrong with Twilight?" Sunset mentioned. Everyone looked at each other.

"...So spike had a back up plan..." Fluttershy said.

"I suppose that's a perk that comes with being Twilight's number one assistant." Pinkie Pie said.

"Um...not to sound rude here but...where's Twilight?" Sunset Asked.

"Strap in, this is gonna take some explainin'." Applejack said.

"...And it's been three hours since Spike left. We're getting quite worried, darling." Rarity said.

"Figures. Spike must have summoned me not just as a back up plan, but considering everything, I'm probably the best there is to help rescue her." Sunset said. Suddenly the doors to the map room uponed and fireworks went everywhere.

"BEHOLD TWILIGHT SPARKLE, FOR I; THE GREAT AND POWERFUL TRIXIE; HAVE RETURNED TO..." Trixie said before noticing the lavander alicorn was not in the room. "...Of all the time for her to go missing, is the one time I come to apologize to her for the trouble I caused the last time I was here..." Trixie said.

"I...um...what?" Sunset said, baffled just as much as everyone else. "I need information again..." She said.

What Trixie didn't know, was that Twilight was watching her enter the Castle of Friendship from the Castle of Darkness.

"There you are, Trixe Lunamoon." Twilight said with a grin. Sombra's magic that gave her her Dark Queen form was only a sample of the power Sombra would provide her for when she proved her work. "Then by my calculations, she is currently explaining the events regarding that Ursa Minor* and the Alicorn Amulet** to Sunset Shimmer." Twilight said. The mention of the Alicorn Amulet got Sombra's attention.

"You know where the Alicorn Amulet is?!" Sombra exclaimed.

"But of course I do, my king. I gave it to my friend Zecora for Safe Keeping." Twilight said.

"Twilight, would you be a dear and destroy that blasted amulet for me?" Sombra asked.

"But of couse. I planned on destroying it so it couldn't be used against us anyways." Twilight said.

"Well...that would be one thing. But the real reason I want you to destroy it, is because believe it or not, I used to be an Alicorn. But with Starswirl the Bearded sealed away my alicorn status into a single red gem that eventually became the Alicorn Amulet from what I've heard." Sombra said.

"So...if I destroy the amulet, your full power will be restored. Do I understand that correctly, my king?" Twilight asked.

"But of course." Sombra said.

"Then, I will destroy it right in front of my friends, Sunset, and Trixie for when they arrive here." Twilight said.

"That sounds evil, and devious. I'm beginning to believe your sincerity. Continue proving your worth like this, and there is no doubt in my mind that I will take you as my Queen of Darkness." Sombra said.

"But of course. That is the end goal, is it not?" Twilight said. She gave off an evil laugh before heading off to collect the alicorn amulet.

"...So...that's everything." Rarity said.

"King Sombra huh...I've heard about his evil ways." Trixie said.

"Oh you have no idea." Fluttershy said. "Words alone don't do him justice." She said.

"I'm willing to take your word for it." Trixie said. "So, we going to go rescue Twilight so Trixie can give her apology?" She asked.

"Um...are you coming just for that reason alone? Because I think your coming to rub one in Twlight's face." Rainbow Dash said.

"While rescuing Twilight would give me something to actually boast about; Trixie's apology isn't the only reason." Trixie said. She suddenly took off her hat. "...Despite Trixie's best efforts of going on a redemption magic tour, I haven't really seen much of an audience. I can tell when it's time to retire, so I've come to Ponyville to apologize to everyone, including the newly alicorn'd Twilight Sparkle, and settle down here while dong my best to make up for all the things I did." Trixie said. Genuine tears filled her eyes as she said this.

"Ah never thought you'd actually be willing to do all that..." Apple Jack said.

"Trixie...is not proud of what happened." Trixie said. "So...yes...I am sorry. I am willing to do everything I can to make up for the things I did." She added while trying not to cry.

"I can relate." Sunset said with a smile. "I did things I'm not exactly proud of either. So I can emphasize with Trixie." Sunset said.

"Trixie is just not sure how well her illusions will work against this King Sombra...but Trixie promises to do her best. Not just for Twilight's sake, but for your sakes as well." Trixie said.

"You've certain come a long ways." Fluttershy said.

"She's your friend; and I suppose if it helps you accept my apologize all the more...then helping you help her is the least I can do to show that I meant it when I said I'm sorry for all the trouble I caused." Trixie said. The elements smiled at Trixie as did Sunset.

Elsewhere, the tree of harmony suddenly grew two new elements: The Element of Empathy, and The Element of Forgiveness.

Author's Notes:

First off refrences...

*The ursa minor incident is from "Boost Busters"

**The Alicorn Amulet is from "Magic Dual"

Second off, yes I basically got the Element of Empathy from other fanfics regarding Sunset. As for the Element of Forgiveness, that comes from a youtuber and their video series known as "Princess Trixie Sparkle". Outside of the names of the two new elements and their holders, everything else is being done of my own accord.
