The Sun rises upon Equestria once again. The birds chirped their songs to wake the populace of Ponyville to another warm day. One such Pony, A lavender Unicorn mare with Dark indigo main, Pink and purple highlights and violet eyes. She let out a yawn and checked out the calendar. She blinked a couple times before they shot wide open. She gave a squeal as she ran to the kitchen.

"THIS IS THE DAY!" Twilight Sparkle squealed much to Spikes annoyance since he was still half asleep.

"Ugh. Today’s the day for what?" Spike inquired. Although right now he really wasn't interested. Heck, the world could end, but at this time he honestly just did not care. He was really exhausted.
"High Teck is gonna launch an exploration rocket into space today! He even asked me if I would like to help, and I said YES!" Twilight squealed again she almost began to bounce up and down like her friend Pinkie Pie. Wow she must really be excited to have the energy to do this. Twilight Thought to herself as she stopped bouncing after three successful hops.

"He’s launching a rocket into space?" Spike inquired. "Does he have Princess Celestia's approval? I mean, you do know thoughs two haven't been Seeing Eye to eye lately." he reminded his Unicorn Friend and mother-figure.
Twilight Thought for a moment. Indeed it’s true, Celestia and High Teck have been at odds with each other every since he announced his Techno-Empire to her majesty. Needless to say Celestia was very displeased. And yet High Teck was so stubborn he simply broke away from Equestria entirely. In fact it’s the reason why he now occupies his own patch of land in Everfree forest.
"Spike, the way things have been going between Him and Celestia, I really don't think he cares what she thinks of him so much as sneezing as much as launching a rocket." Twilight said. She then looked at the clock then back at Spike. "It would be nice if thoughs two just lay down their hostilities towards each other."

"You don't think she'll go to war with him do you?" Spike blurted out. He really didn't mean to ask her aloud, he was just saying what he was thinking.

"Goodness, No Spike!" Twilight replied. "I know for sure the Princess wouldn't do anything like that! I'm sure neither of them wants to go to war with each other."

"Okay, I was just thinking aloud. Your right though..... Hey, you know something?" Spike asked.

"What’s that?"

"Where’s Princess Luna in all of this? I mean, I'm mostly hearing it all from Princess Celestia's side but never from Luna's side." Spike pondered.

"Hmmmmm" Twilight thought. "Well, maybe she just wants to stay out of it?"
Twilight took another look at the clock and gasped. "OH NO! It’s only a couple of hours until blastoff! I'm going to be late!" Twilight took a long sip of coffee, hugged Spike and ran off out the door.

Twilight galloped at top speed towards High Teck's Tower, a hundred story tall thin cone shaped building clad in steal and metal. At the top was an observation room which stuck a few meters out from the side of the tower.
Twilight Sparkle trotted up the ramp to a large double door. The doors opened with a hum as the machines opening them worked their magic. Twilight walked into the tower looking at the great walls surrounding her. Most had glyphs of stylistic writing not seen ever in Ponyville history.
"Wow...." Twilight spoke under her breath. "The Architecture is amazing! High Teck's creativity must be his strongest talent!"
Twilight continued through the entrance hallway before entering a large room. She saw a huge factory! With huge mechanical arms hard at work building robots. The entire building was a Manufacturing plant!

"This is incredible!" Twilight said out loud. "Robots building robots! And the advanced technology itself! Its decades ahead of all of Equestria!"

"I'm glad you Like it!" A voice rang out.
Twilight gasped as she turned to the source of the voice and across the room from where she was stood a Stallion Earth pony. A large one at that. Even bigger then Applejack's Brother, Big Macintosh! He had a pure white coat, almost like Celestia’s but it reflected almost like metal. His eyes where a greenish grey, his main and tail was red and his cutie mark was that of a Wrench with a bolt in its grip. Twilight blinked a couple times it took her a moment to recognize him.

"HIGH TECK!" She squealed. She normally wasn't this excited to see somepony like this before, but today was the exception.

"Hey Twilight Sparkle! heh did you not recognize me or something?" High Teck chuckled as he trotted up to her. And they both hugged.
"Heh sorry, but I'm not used to seeing you without your Techno-saddle, Computer gauntlet, and interface headset on Twilight raised an eyebrow as she looked at him again and smiled as she broke the embrace.

High Teck smiled and motioned her to fallow him. The walked outside around back behind the tower several yards to the Rocket. There it sat waiting to be launched. It wasn't big. Only 17 feet tall, 8 feet wide. It was cylindrical with a cone at the top. Out of the sides where three long legs that held it pointing upward.
"Ah so that’s it huh?" Twilight asked. High Teck replied with a nod and a smile on his face.

"Yes it is! 18 long months of hard work and research has been well rewarded! It took a while to get the components built to the highest Quality. Took even longer to put the thing together what with Lu...." High Teck stopped himself and cleared his throat. "I mean, there where a lot of... uh.... 'distractions' recently thus it hindered the completion of the rocket at a faster pace.... yeah...." the Stallion tried to explain, but as he did his grammar suffered.

Twilight looked at the Stallion puzzled for a moment before she decided to change the subject.

"So, when do we launch it? I'm SO EXCITED!" Twilight squealed again barely able to contain her excitement. Science was her strong suite. And astronomy was her favorite of subjects. And to be part of launching a rocket into space for the better understanding of the stars made the Lavender Unicorn even more excited. So much so it caused her ear to twitch and giggle uncontrollably for a moment.

High Teck saw this and chuckled. A bit worried about the possibility of his friend literally exploding from excitement.
"Well I didn't just ask you over to watch it launch. I like for you to contribute to the project in some way."

This made the Unicorn become even giddier.

"You see, even though I got most of the work finished there’s one last thing that needs to be done." High Teck Explained.

"Oh what’s that?" Twilight asked.

"Well the main computer onboard the rocket must be activated. I figured I'd let you do the honors and turn it on for me before I launch it." High Teck said. His eyes widened a bit as he saw the Lavender Unicorn become so excited, he swore her mouth foamed for a moment when she exclaimed.

Twilight finally took a moment to control herself and look up at High Teck. "Oh heh sorry. But sure I'd love to turn on the computer for you!" Twilight replied.

High Teck smiled and directed Twilight to the console located inside the storage bay for one of the Rocket's legs. She easily got inside the small space as she reached in with her hoof and felt for the button. There was only one to push but it was hard to reach. High Teck must not of considered how deep the console was when he built this thing. Twilight Mused as she lunged her hoof forward once more. Her hoof hit the button square center as the console lit up and glowed brightly.
Twilight smiled and begun to pull her foreleg back, but her lower foreleg suddenly got grazed by the sharp end of a bolt sticking out of the other end of a panel. "OUCH!" Twilight yelped as she yanked her foreleg out quickly causing the sharp bolt to cut her even deeper. As it did so, blood drizzled from the wound onto the panelings of the Rocket's floor.
Twilight held her foreleg and rubbed it a few times. It stung! She couldn't believe she did something so silly as to hurt herself after doing something she'll probley not be able to do ever again!

"Twilight, are you okay? I heard you yelp!" High Teck yelled from a distance.

No, she can't tell him she hurt herself after doing something so simple! And she can't afford to miss the rocket's launch all because of a silly cut. I KNOW! Twilight Thought as she used her magic to heal her foreleg, it stung even more but Twilight tried hard not to make too much noise. She opened her eyes and smiled to see the cut gone.

"Twilight?" High Teck asked again.

"I'm fine!" Twilight finally replied as she hopped out of the small hole. "I was making sure everything worked properly." Twilight fibbed. It was a little white lie; he didn't need to know the little blunder she had.

"Ah... well you best get over here before the engines are activated. Unless you want to be blasted into the endless voice of space, and cease to exist?" High Teck said with a spooky evil raspy, gravelly voice as he teased her.

Twilight giggled at him and galloped over towards her stallion friend. "Oh this is gonna be great!"

"Yeah! Oh, would you like to do the count down?"
"CAN I REALY!?"

"Of Course you can!" High Teck Beamed.

"Okay....Mark.... 12...11...10....9....8..." Twilight Began to count down as they both put on their head sets and sunglasses. As Twilight continued the countdown.

"Retracting Landing struts!" High Teck Exclaimed.

"7...6...5..." Twilight Continued

"Umbilicus detached, engines are Primed!" High Teck declared.

"4...3...2...1!" Twilight finally exclaimed

"We Have Lift Off!" High Teck Yelled as he pressed a button allowing the rocket to blast off.

The two ponies cheered as the Rocket shot off into the air with an ear splitting roar. The rocket reached high and higher causing the inhabitants of Ponyville to look up at it. Many amazed and enlightened by the show of advanced ingenuity only a small handful of them where scared of it falling back down on them. But the rocket stayed true to its goal and after a few moments finally entered Equestria's orbit. meanwhile deep inside, the small pool of Twilight Sparkle's blood inside the rocket ripples a little as the rocket shakes one final time before entering space.
Back down near High Teck's tower the two celebrating ponies dance.

"YEAH! I can't believe we launched a rocket into space! Equestria's very first rocket!" Twilight exclaimed

"Hehe I know exciting isn't it? I mean I launched satellites before but nothing that’s actually going to explore space!" High Teck cheered. But then frowned. Twilight noticed this and looked at Him with worried eyes.

"what’s wrong, HT?"

"Oh... I'm just worried I might have brought the wrath of the sun goddess upon myself. I never got the okay from her to launch that rocket. My relations with her have been quite....... unpleasant recently.... I really don't need any more negative stress right now." the Techno-pony explained.

Twilight thought for a moment then gave him a reassuring smile. "Look, I'll write a letter to Princess Celestia about the rocket, I'll tell her it’s for scientific research to benefit all of Equestria."

This made High Teck feel a bit better, it even made him chuckle.

"I guess you can do that. Thank You!" High Teck said as he gave Twilight a hug which made her giggle.

"Now, how bout we celebrate with some Ovaltine Chocolate Milk and some Peanut Butter Reese’s cups!" High Teck exclaimed inviting Twilight Sparkle inside.

"Sure, but how about some tea and a lily flower sandwich for me instead?" Twilight asked with a polite tone.

High Teck looked at her sweet smile which made him chuckle. "Sure Twi, I think I got some hayfries left too."

"OOOh sounds good to me!" Twilight replied happily.

The two ponies walked inside the massive tower, enjoying their victory meal.
Meanwhile somewhere in outter space, the Rocket passed through the stars its advanced engines allowed the rocket to move at incredible faster than light speed. Going at the speed of warp 6 the Rockets engines suddenly shut off. It stopped slowly as the Rocket floated one parsec of a massive, newly formed Black hole Energy strongly seething from it. The computer inside the rocket began taking pictures of the black whole sending them back to Equestria along with Gigabits of data it has obtained. Next to the computer consol. the pool, well now a blob since there was no gravity of Twilight Sparkle's blood suddenly glowed a violet tinge as the blood began to darken and grow out. Forming into a round red blob. It glowed again and again and again. But as it glowed once more the light changed to a Neon Purple.
Suddenly the Blob moved. It pressed itself against the seams of the panels for one of the Rocket's leg. It squeezed through the crack of the seam and out into the vacuum of space. Finally freeing itself the blob moved itself like a squid through the airless vacuum of nothing ness. It moved with great speed towards the Black hole. The blob was obviously drawn to it. It began to move even faster as its mass began to increase in size. Its form shifting as well as small amounts of details began to form upon it. First a serpentine tail formed from behind it. Which it began to use to swim closer towards the black hole. Then a small round head with two violet eyes formed they blinked a couple times before it continued to 'swim' towards its objective.
An embryonic creature was what became of Twilight Sparkle's little pool of blood. It moved with great speed towards the black hole, absorbing the energies emitting from the rim of the swirling disk. The creature took one last plunge towards the super anomaly before it too was sucked into the Black hole’s maw. It gave out a squeal before being sucked in completely. Inside the little creature grew at an incredible rate! Growing four legs, a long neck, fur and a horn of its own! The little Filly opened her eyes and gave out an unearthly, ghastly scream as a flash of light engulfed her.
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHH!!!!" Twilight Sparkle screamed as she jumped out of her bed.
All the lights came on in every house in Ponyville that night. Twilight's Scream was so loud and high pitched it had broken several windows and caused some pony’s Chariot alarm to go off. In her bed, the Lavender unicorn breathed hard at the dream she had. Was it real? Or was it just a really bad nightmare? Twilight thought for a moment.
"Are you okay Twi!?" Spike asked, no doubt her scream woke him up as well. Him being the closes to her.
"Uh...Uh huh...." was her only response. She looked at her sheets they were soaked in sweat. Possibly even her own urine. She’s never done that before. Not since she herself was just a baby filly, and back then she didn't know any better.
Twilight got up from her bed she took off the sheets and covers from her bed. Her whole body quivered from the mental trauma of the nightmare. It was like someone put their hooves over her mouth and nostrils to keep her from breathing. And didn't let go until she finally woke up. She still couldn't calm her breathing down. It was the most terrible experience she ever had. A Night Terror she thought to herself. She read about them but never thought she'd have one herself. Suddenly she heard a loud belch.
She looked over to Spike holding a letter with Princess Celestia's seal on it.

"A letter? At this time of night?" Spike mused to himself.

"Well, what does it say?" Twilight asked.
Spike opened the letter and began to read.
My Faithful Student,

What has happened? I heard your scream all the way over here in Canterlot! It was the most terrifying sound I ever heard. Please reply as soon as you can. Please tell me what happened!

-Princess Celestia
Spike looked at Twilight, waiting for her to tell him what to do. Twilight shook her head as she levitated a paper and quill to the desk next to her bed. "Sorry Spike. This is a bit personal. And I'd feel better if I wrote this one myself. You understand don't you?"

Spike smiled and nodded. "Hey, it’s okay Twi, I'm perfectly okay with it. I can still send them if you want me to." Spike stated with a reassuring smile.

Twilight smiled in return. "Oh, thank you Spike." she turned her attention to the paper and began writing.

Dear Princess Celestia,
I had recently had the most terrifying dream ever.... and worse of all. It felt REAL!
End of Part one...

Descent of the God of Destruction
Five months have passed since the Rocket's launch. As well Twilight's night terror. Since then Twilight Sparkle has put that night behind her. She is now writing a letter to Princess Celestia Detailing about her recent discovery of the Magic of Friendship. Elsewhere in Ponyville, Twilight's Friends are discussing the recent Meteor showers that have been streaking across the Night Skies.
"I thought there weren’t supposed to be any meteor showers for another 3 years?" Stated Rarity, usually not much into astrometry but to her the meteor shower was worth her attention due to its awesome beauty, much like herself.
"Twilight recently got a letter from Princess Luna about the event. She was quite perplexed as well. And I'm quite sure that’s something to be worried about." Stated Fluttershy although quite timidly.
"You always worry about every little thing, Fluttershy. I say it’s no big deal!" Rainbow Dash replied. She was tired of talking about something that to her was just a bunch of space rocks zooming past the earth. "Besides. It’s not like an asteroid or space aliens are going to come here and blow everything up!"
Fluttershy gave out a squeak as she darted behind Rarity as Rainbow Dash raised her voice at the end of her statement. She shook at such a thought. Rarity gave the rainbow maned Pegasus a hard look. Dash giggled a bit, walked over and reassured her fellow Pegasus.
"Look, I'm sure it’s no big deal. Let’s just head over to Twilight's and see what she’s up to."
"I thought she’s writing another Friendship Report to Princess Celestia?" Rarity asked she had not seen her fellow unicorn since earlier that morning. Before she went over to High Teck's to discuss something. The visit must have been short since she come running back to her library in a rush. Eyes wide open, cheeks blushing redder then Applejack's apples and smile across her face.
"Well she should be done with that by now." Rainbow said. "Hey, tell you guy what, I'll head over to her farm and bring Applejack over with me. We’ll meet at the new unveiling of one of High Teck's new inventions."

"Okay, Darling we'll see you there." Rarity said as she and Fluttershy wave as Rainbow Dash shot off at Mach 5 towards Sweet Apple Anchors.

Rarity and Fluttershy walked over to Twilight's Library and knocked on the door a moment later Twilight answered the door and smiled at them.

"Hey girls! How are you today?" asked Twilight levitating a cup of tea.
"Wonderful Darling, We came over to see if you wanted to come over with us to see what High Teck built this time?" Rarity replied. Not all that interested in High Teck's creations. Although she didn't mind his good looks. Oh, no she didn't mind that at all.

"Oh I hope it’s not as scary as that Robo-Pony he built last time. Poor Bon-Bon is still recovering from thoughs laser burns near her.... unmentionables." Fluttershy's cheeks went red recalling how she had to assist Nurse Redheart with holding an ice pack between Bon Bon's haunches over the laser burns.
"Poor Bon-Bon.... Well. I kind of have to agree with High Teck, on the note that Machinery and Electrical storms are not good bed fellows." Twilight stated putting her hoof on her chin.

"Which reminds me, why were you running back to here blushing like that?" Rarity asked. She suddenly put on a sly smile. "Did 'something' happen between you two?" Fluttershy couldn't help herself from giggling for a moment.

"What!? NO! Nothing like that!" Twilight responded in a defensive manner. "I-I mean. He’s sweet and all and we're close but.... he’s more like a big brother to me. And...."

"So why where you blushing like that?" Fluttershy asked.

"Well.... let’s just say, if you ever go to High Teck's place and you see he has company over, particularly of the Mare variety... well.... I recommend knocking before you enter his bedroom." Twilight said with a hot blush from her cheeks. Although it was evident she couldn't prevent herself from smiling.

"Oh my.... were they..... You know, kissing?" Fluttershy blushed as she asked.
"Yeah... they were. What you would call.... making out" Twilight said blushing even redder. The girls thought her cheeks were about to melt off.
"Goodness! Who was it?" Rarity asked in complete shock. It also sounded a bit of jealousy in her voice. It was not surprising though, all the girls had a bit of a crush on the Stallion. Even Twilight, although she'd never reveal that.

"Um... well you see I can't quite say who it was. They both asked me not to tell anyone. And... Well I think we can all agree if we all make a promise to a friend we should keep it. Besides. He said they both plan to tell us as soon as they feel the time is right." Twilight said. Her cheeks going back to their lavender color.
"And the friendship Report?" Fluttershy asked.

"To always knock before you barge in on your friends. Because they could be doing something that you don't need to see or doing something very personal, and being their friend you should always respect their privacy." Twilight recalled.
The girls nodded and spent a bit of their time drinking some tea and thinking about who High Teck could be dating. Twilight none the less kept her friend's secrete and refused to tell. As much as she would like to. She just couldn't betray his trust.
"Well girls, should we be off to the big reveal now?" Rarity asked and all three girls nodded.

Spike came down holding what seemed to be a shield. Twilight looked at him and shook her head.

"Spike, what is this?" Twilight asked pointing at the shield.

"It’s a shield." Spike answered.

"I know that! I mean what are you doing carrying it?"
"Oh... well we all know what happened the last time High Teck showed us one of his robots---" Spike saw Rarity and smiled, then then walked over, put his arm around her and held her close. "And besides, who’s going to Protect you girls if his new robot goes Terminator on us?"
Rarity could barely contain her giggle and rolled her eyes. Twilight also giggled and sighed.
"Alright fine. I guess a 'little' protection wouldn't hurt."
All the girls giggled much to Spikes frustration. Twilight cleared her throat and walked towards the door. "Besides what’s the worse that could happen?"
The three ponies and the dragon set off to the town center, there they encountered the rest of their friends, Applejack and Rainbow Dash waited for them at the front along with Pinkie Pie who was bouncing up and down almost like a foal before Holidays Hearth Celebration.
Twilight looked around for a moment and noticed someone she was not expecting to see at all.
"Princess Luna!" she exclaimed as she walked over and bowed to her.

"Twilight! How have thou been lately?" Luna asked she smiled brightly at Twilight.

"I'm doing quite well. What brings you to Ponyville today? Shouldn’t you be, I don't know, sleeping getting ready for the raising of the moon? If you don't mind me asking of course?" Twilight asked trying hard not to offend her.
Luna giggled. "We are here because your princess wishes to see what thine friend High Teck has built as much as the rest of Ponyville. Thou could also say that, in case something does go wrong."

Twilight thought for a moment. What better protection is there then Princess Celestia's own sister? Surely she is just as powerful. Twilight thought. "Very well, would you like to stand next to us your majesty?"

"Oh we must refuse; your Princess must stay upon this stage. Again just in case." the Princess of the Night explained.

Again... Makes since. Twilight thought. "Um... Okay then your majesty."

Luna couldn't help but feel bad. She then suddenly smiled and wrapped her foreleg around her sister's Student. "Although, after the demonstration, if nothing goes wrong, Your Princess would LOVE for us to catch up with thine friends afterwards, yes?"
Twilight smiled and embraced the lunar princess and giggled. "Sorry, but yes we totally should meet up later. Sugar Cube Corner perhaps?"

Luna nodded, "It’s okay twilight, and yes Sugar Cube Corner would be perfect!"
Twilight giggled and nodded. She walked back over to her friends and told them about the prearranged date with Princess Luna, they all agreed to go. Suddenly everypony was silenced as a horn blared to call everyone to attention. Everypony Ooohed and Awed when they saw High Teck walk up on stage. Twilight smiled as she finally got to see him clad in his Techno-saddle, inside the two pods on the sides were the best display of advanced robotics on Equestria. Ranging from robotic arms, tools, medical Equipment. And even a pair of shoulder mounted Plasma rifles for defensive purposes. She then looked down to his front right leg; strapped to the lower leg was a wrist computer. So advanced he couldn't allow Anypony to touch it without reading the owner's manual. Which of course Twilight herself was studying currently. And finally, on his head was an interface head set. Covering his right eye was a green lens that worked as a Heads-Up Display for his computer. Also adorn upon it where three buttons on its side to adjust the HUD's display settings as well as vision modes. High Teck used his mic on said headset to speak. His voice amplified by the nearby speakers so everypony can hear him properly.
"Ladies and Gentlecolts, When I was but a young Foul, I dreamt of an Equestria where Technology made lives for us Ponies safer and most of all easier. But fear not. We do not have to give up our long lasting traditions. Nyet! I merely wish to give your land Peace of mind." High Teck looked to Luna who smiled back at him and nodded. "With the recent assaults upon our fair town of Ponyville, ranging from the recent attack by Discord, as well as the ordeal with the Dragon attacking and stealing everything in sight."

Spike chuckled embarrassedly as Twilight and Rarity looked at him. Then High Teck Continued.

"Now, Please take heart that I am well aware of what happened the last time I released one of my drones in public. I have made many new strives and advancements to ensure complete safety with my creations."

"Ahem..."
High Teck looked over at Luna who was ushering him to 'get on with it' so to say. The Techno-Pony chuckled a bit and pressed a button on his computer controlling his personal airship to lower down from the cloud cover that loomed over the area. It lowered down an object with a tarp over it. It stood 15ft tall and judging by the way it stood upright it was no doubt bipedal. It appeared bulky however. Then again with the drape over it could just be how the shoulders where bit making it so wide like that. Twilight thought to herself.

"Now, without any further a due!" High Teck pressed another button which caused the machine under the drape to come alive. It seemed as though it was alive as it pulled the drape off itself and stepped forward.
Twilight looked at the marvel of robotic ingenuity. The machine was indeed bipedal. And indeed bulky. Although it moved with unusual grace due to its advanced articulation. It hard two arms, and two legs. Its head was round yet also wide with a big red optic in the center, upon its shoulders where authority lights. The left being Red and the right being blue in color. Its chest was Slightly V Shaped with two spot lights under the breast plates. On its right arm it possessed a three digit hand, the left arm however did not have a hand, but instead possessed a pipe. And the lower arm had an assorted amount of buttons and lights.
The Robot continued to walk several ponies panicked "hey!" "It’s coming for us!" however the machine stopped and looked over upon the crowd. There it stood awaiting its next command.
"Ladies and Gentlecolts, I introduce to you, Homeland Security Drone model 209!" High Teck exclaimed, as if the machine had a proud ego, it stood proudly with its chest out as it gave a solute, to signify its allegiance towards Ponyville.
Many ponies giggled at its display of loyalty. Others it made it a bit easier to be calmer. Then Princess Luna walked up with her wings out to get everypony's attention.
"Citizens of Ponyville, your Princess has discussed to High Teck the usefulness of these security drones, and while we do indeed live in a peaceful land, it would be unwise of us not to accept such thoughtful gifts to Ponyville's as well as all of Equestria's Security!" Princess Luna stated using her royal Canterlot voice, although at this point, she was only using it so everypony can hear her properly.
"I am glad you feel that way your majesty. For already I have begun production of many more of these....." High Teck looked up at the sky with shock upon his face. "By the horn of Celestia....." He mumbled, however the mic was still on and his voice was still heard.
Everypony in the audience looked up at where High Teck was staring, everypony's jaw dropped. Including Princess Luna who, despite seeing quite a few anomalies herself was baffled by the site. Twilight Sparkle, Rainbow Dash, Applejack, Fluttershy, Pinkie Pie, Fluttershy, and Spike all bared witness to a huge fireball hurtling towards the town. Twilight looked at the course of the fireball. It was heading towards the stage alright. IT’S GOING TO HIT THE PRINCESS! Twilight realized she jumped up on stage and grabbed Princess Luna's Foreleg and pulled her off stage, High Teck noticed as well the danger to the Princess with the Fireball a few feet away from the stage he plunged himself to shove both Luna and Twilight off the sage out of the impact zone of the fireball.
The fireball smashes through the wood of the stage knocking the Security Drone off the platform and slamming hard onto the ground. Becoming buried under tons of Debris. Twilight shook her head and turned around to see High Teck helping her and Luna up with his robotic arms dispatched from his techno-Saddle.

"You girls alright?" High Teck asked.

"Yes, your Princess is okay. Though, I think we could use a bath later...." Luna stated pulling a twig out of her tiara and dusting the dirt off herself.

Twilight nodded when he looked at her. She turned around to see the rest of her friends run up to her.
"TWILIGHT!" Spike Called out
"Twi, are you okay, Darling?" Rarity asked
"We were so worried." said Fluttershy though quietly
"Ya'll ain't hurt are ya?" asked Applejack
"DID YOU SEE THAT!? THAT FIREBALL WAS ALL LIKE WHOOOOOOOOOSSHHHH! AND HT TOTALY SAVED YOU AND NOW YOU’RE LIKE DUUUUUUUUHHHHHH. BUT seriously are you okay?" Pinkie Pie Rambled.
"You Guys, let her talk. Are you okay?" Rainbow Dash asked while she hovered over the lavender unicorn.

Twilight Nodded by the barrage of questions. "Yeah. I'm fine. I'm just glad I didn't get BBQed by that fireball."

All the Ponies gathered around the impact site, a ring of fire prevented them from seeing was laid inside the crater. Suddenly a wave of neon purple light shot out causing many ponies to duck before the wave would hit them. Several ponies that did not move in time were knocked off their hooves. Twilight and her friends however were wise enough to duck in time. As the rose back up they saw a black figure behind the fire. A Pony.... a sickingly thin pony to be precise. Twilight noticed it had a horn on its head, it must be a Unicorn. The figure slowly walked through the fire many of the still conscious Ponies gasped and many screamed as they saw the Pony's body. Its body was clad with the armor similar to that of an insectoids Exoskeleton. Its chest was adorned with a harness with three crystal orbs. Two smaller crystal orbs on its sides, and one large one on the front. There were also three orbs on its shoulder blades that were sickingly exposed on her sides. They all glow the same neon purple as the shockwave did. Its irises where glowing neon violet as well. Its horn glowed as it finally spoke.
"BEHOLD! Your One True Master has come! Bow to me or be destroyed by my Infinite Power!" She spoke, the voice made it clear she was defiantly a female, a Mare pony. Her voice seemed to have an echo effect as she spoke. Giving her voice a tremble with a powerful voice.
Twilight however was awestruck at the Invader's appearance. She didn't want to say it though. However one of her friends finally broke the silence.

"S-she looks.... Just like you.... Twilight" Spike Shuddered. His mind trying to digest the information his eyes are giving him.
"B-B-But How!?" Twilight finally spoke. This caught her look-alike's attention. Twilight's only response was to gulp as the evil pony slowly towards her. Across the stage, down the steps. Each of her hoof steps where accompanied by Twilight's own heartbeats. It was like somepony took her own image and twisted it in such a way it made her look demonic and evil. As she walked closer Twilight could make out more of her Doppelganger’s appearance.
Her form was no doubt almost skeletal. It looks like she hasn't eaten ever! But her presence showed she was no doubt powerful and strong enough to snap a fully grown dragon's neck with little effort. Her coat itself was deep dark red. A contrast to Twilight's own Lavender Coat. Twilight and her twisted clone circled each other, taking mental notes of their obvious differences moving her eyes up to the twisted pony's back, were jagged vertebrae spines. And down the back of her neck were scaled like armor plates. It was obvious this was indeed all her. Thing about her showed as though she was simply wearing it. It was all grafted upon her physiology.
Twilight continued to look at her twin. Her eyes made their way to her cutiemark. It was similar to hers. But noticeably different. Five small stars surrounding a Black hole. Twilight was about to change her view to her twin's eyes but something else caught her attention. She looked beyond her flank. And while one would expect to see a normal Pony's Tail, instead was a long serpentine tail. And at the end of her tail was three claws shaped translucent spines. Almost as if they were made out of the same crystal substance as the orbs on her chest harness and shoulder blades. Twilight then moved her eyes back up at her twin's horn. Instead of the usual horn that most Unicorns have, it was different then evens her own. It was long and looked much more like a sword. It was translucent and had a faint neon purple glow to it. This would light up brightly on occasion.
But it was her face and mane that scared Twilight to the core. Her muzzle was slightly longer and had an almost reptilian presence mixed in with the Equine appearance. The corners of her jaws had small crystal spikes although they were a lighter shade of red then her coat. She also had sharp pointed ears. Her mane was deep dark blue with red and violet streaks like Twilight's own mane had their Pink and purple streak highlights.
Twilight's ears perked up as her twin began to speak. Diverting her attention to her face.
"Well, hello there. Mother." She spoke

Twilight's ears went down as she shook her head. "I.... I don't have a daughter... I mean.... I haven't even met a stallion yet... ah..." Twilight's rational mind was having difficulty making her mouth work. She tried hard to respond like she normally would. But the current situation deemed it difficult as she plopped down to her haunches in a mix of horror, awe, and confusion.
"Oh don’t worry, Dear mother. I'll explain it all to you." She sneered as she spoke. "Do you remember, after you turned on the Rocket's Computer Console, when you were pulling your foreleg back out of that small opening in one of the Rocket's Openings for its Landing struts, you cut your foreleg quite bad. So much so your blood dribbled out onto the inside panels for the Rocket's floor. Of course you were able to heal your cut, you forgot about that little puddle of blood you left behind."

Twilight thought back at this time High Teck was staring at her. "Twi, why didn't you tell me you cut yourself?"

"I was afraid if you saw me get hurt after doing something so simple you might have been forced to take you to the doctor and would have launched the rocket anyways. Then I would have missed it." Twilight explained. "You got to believe me, it’s something I wanted to see all my life! I had no idea this would happen though!"

"Yeah I'm right here you know?" the Foreign Pony mumbled to herself.
"Oh Twilight.... I would have postponed it until we got you patched up." High Teck stated.
However their conversation was broken up as the new pony cleared her throat.
"As I was saying, after the rocket launched. The blood inside journeyed with it. The Rocket zoomed past the stars, beyond the moon. And was soon a witness to the creation of a newly formed black hole! The access energies where absorbed by your DNA and mutated allowing it to form a newly born filly. After breaking free from the rockets haul. I was sucked into the black whole and---

"And absorbed even more of the Black hole's access energies. Allowing you to grow larger and more powerful. Thus giving you the ability to survive the Vacuum of space, as well as the Black hole." Princess Luna finished realizing just what she is.

"Ah yes... hmm perhaps I misunderstood your intelligence qualities?" She stated with a sneer in her voice.

"So... you are really my daughter." Twilight said. Although in her current state it’s doubtful she was mindful of what she was saying.
"Yes.... and from this moment forward. You are all to refer to me as.... SPACETWILIGHT SPARKLE!" she said announcing her name to the sky as the crystal orbs on her body started to glow. Causing more crystals to form out of the ground. Rising up in the air as they began to surround and orbit around Spacetwilight as well as the Mane 6, Luna, and High Teck. "Now, Bow down to your new Master! This world is MINE! AAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!"
End of Part 2

Throughout Ponyville, the town's buildings are all being destroyed, one at a time as more cycle shaped crystal bodies erupt from the ground. Energy emitting from them as they all begin to glow neon purple. At the town center, Spacetwilight roared out at the darkened sky, her cry like an evil goddess of war as crystals float and orbit around Spacetwilight, Twilight, and her friends. As well as High Teck and Princess Luna.

Spacetwilight laughed as she watched the ponies around her cower in fear. "My Little Ponies, You shall all serve under my rule! Thoughs who refuse me shall be exterminated!"

"I HAVE HEARD ENOUGH!" Princess Luna yelled with her Traditional Canterlot voice. This easily drew Spacetwilight's attention to the Lunar Princess. "OUR PONIES SHALL NEVER BOW DOWN TO SOMEONE AS TWISTED AS YOU!"

Spacetwilight looked at Luna for a few seconds before laughing as if she heard a joke. "Is that so, hmm? Do you truly believe you can defeat me? Many have tried and all have fallen by my hoof! What can you Possibly Do?"

"It is true I cannot defeat you, but one pony here can!" Luna said looking at Twilight sparkle that looked back at her.

"YEAH and she ain't alone either!" Applejack said walking by her Unicorn friend's side. She was followed by the rest of her friends.

"That’s right!" Rainbow Dash responded with a confident smile.

"No Space-Pony is gonna come along and ruin our Parties!" Pinkie Pie said in a serious tone, which is rare for her.

Rarity nodded "You got that Right, Darling! Not to mention your armor is absolutely appalling! Such an offense to Fashion must not but gone unpunished!"

"Eh...a...I...no..." Fluttershy mumbled. She sheepishly joined her friends.

Spacetwilight Sparkle tilted her head. "Say again, I didn't quite catch that."

Fluttershy simply whispered into Rainbow Dash's ear of what she said.

"Oh, she said she 'doesn't want you to harm the animals either'!" Rainbow relayed the message.

Spacetwilight nodded. "Oh... um... right.... where were we?" Spacetwilight tapped her chin then recalled. "OH that’s right! I was going to laugh at your feeble efforts to intimidate Me." and thus she did so, Laughing Maniacally to the point she had a short coughing fit.

Twilight shook her head and breathed in deeply. She stomped her hoof hard onto the ground and scowled at her 'daughter'.

"They're right! With a little help from my friends and the power of The Elements of Harmony, your Conquest of Equestria will end the moment it begins!" Twilight Announced, her friends all cheered to show the power of their friendship to their new nemesis. This caused many ponies spirits to lift as they cheered to encourage her more.

Spacetwilight scowled back at her 'mother' and spat at her direction. She reared up on her hind legs and smashed her hooves onto the ground causing the ground to shake silencing the once enlightened ponies and scaring them, taking the chance to all run away, well out of town leaving the nine ponies all alone. Spacetwilight then began to charge at the six ponies.

The girls prepared for impact, but before they could collide Princess Luna got between them and Spacetwilight. Causing their horns to lock. Luna gave out a groan as she felt the intense power of Spacetwilight’s. But she snorted and shoved the space pony back as hard as she could, with a lot of surprise she succeeded as Spacetwilight stumbled back a couple of feet.

Twilight Blinked a few times wondering what just happened as she saw Princess Luna in front of them. Shielding her from Spacetwilight's assault her wings raised in a threatening manner and her head lowered, Like a Great beast about to face off with other great beast. "Princess Luna?"

"Twilight, Go, NOW! Go to my Sister Princess Celestia, Get the Elements of Harmony. I and High Teck will buy you the time you need to escape!" Luna said as she blocked another one of Spacetwilight's physical attacks.

Twilight shook her head. "We can't leave you two...."

"DON'T ARGUE WITH US," High Teck yelled, though harshly, but he knew he had to get the young Unicorn to listen to them. Two plasma rifles rose up from their respective pods on High Teck's Tech-Saddle as he looked at Spacetwilight; he glanced back at Twilight and gave her a smile. "Just go, we can handle this."

"Their Right Sugar-Cube" Applejack said pulling on Twilight's tail.
"Let’s go!" Spike yelled as he hopped onto her back pulling her mane to get her going.
Twilight shook her head yet again. "But what about you two?
"Twilight, Please. We'll be fine." High Teck yelled dodging Spacetwilight's tail swiping above his head.
"GO!" Luna yelled.

Twilight shook her head as she turned around running past her friends in the direction of Canterlot. She was joined by her friends as they chased after her. All of them to hold back their tears as they ran to Canterlot.
Meanwhile back at the Town center, Spacetwilight Laughed at Luna and High Teck's efforts to protect Twilight and her friends.

"Such Heroic Nonsense!" Snorted Spacetwilight as she circled around the two. "You could have escaped with your lives and I would have cared less. But instead you chose to stay behind to die, why?"

High Teck smirked. "Because that is what friends do!"

Spacetwilight frowned and raised an eyebrow. "Friends? Why do I keep hearing this nonsense about 'Friends'?" Spacetwilight mumbled to herself then snorted yet again. "Right then, let’s get this over with shall we? I have a planet to conquer!"

Luna and High Teck braced themselves waiting for Spacetwilight charged them both. She glanced at High Teck first, then at Luna.

"Hamm? Which one of you two shall die by my horn first today?" Spacetwilight mused to the two. She looked at High Teck then at Luna, then back at High Teck and smirked. "I think I'll play with you... After I have my fun with Miss Moony over there!"

High Teck had little time to react as Spacetwilight's tail whipped out, Swatting High Teck aside. The force caused him to fly several feet before his head slam into one of the steps of the Stage, Knocking him out cold.

Spacetwilight looked at Luna and grinned. Her horn lit up as the space-pony lunged herself at the Lunar Princess. Luna's horn also glowed as she flapped her wings to jump back a few feet Dodging Spacetwilight from pushing her down. Spacetwilight was not done however as her horn glowed brighter, when suddenly, to Luna's horror and surprise, a Neon Purple Electrical Beam shot out from Spacetwilight's horn the beam was too quick for the Princess to dodge, hitting her in the chest with excessive force pushing her back several feet. Luna Screamed in pain as she felt the power of the beam electrocute her entire body and pushed her back even further, causing her back to hit against the wall of a house.

The beam faded away as Spacetwilight ended her attack. Luna groaned as her body went limp. Her body felling to the ground like a ragdoll, her wings fell limp to the ground as well kicking up some dust as they hit the ground. Spacetwilight slowly walked up to Princess Luna to admire her work. She smirked as she kicked Luna's side to roll her over. Slamming her hoof on her chest and gave out a screeching roar.

Suddenly Luna's eyes snapped open, her horn glowing with magic as she forced Spacetwilight off by flinging her up in the air with enough force to make the Space pony spin. The Lunar Princess slowly got up, ignoring the pain in her muscles as she flapped her wings, jumped up and kicked Spacetwilight in the muzzle with her hind left hoof. Spacetwilight Yelped as she was sent flying even higher into the air. Luna beat her wings hard, as she flew past Spacetwilight to intercept her flight path Luna made after kicking her. Spacetwilight's eyes widened as she saw Luna stop ahead of her path's direction and with a scream, Luna Raised her hooves up in the air and slammed them into Spacetwilight's Back. Space-Pony screamed in pain as she plummeted back down to the earth.

However, Spacetwilight's horn glowed once again, and in free-fall she suddenly stopped her muzzle only inches from the ground as she smiled and floated upwards slowly, giggling every feet of the way back up as she smirked at Princess Luna. Luna watched in horror as the Twisted Look-Alike of her Sister's Student levitated towards her. She can even levitate Herself! The moment Spacetwilight was at eyelevel with Luna, she finally felt the intense pain in her body from the energy beam. Spacetwilight smiled at the injured Winged Unicorn, She held her hoof up and shook it side to side in the opposite direction she shook her head. Luna winced in pain as she saw Spacetwilight's horn glow again. Luna knew she was powering up for yet another beam attack, she Tried and tried again to teleport out of the way but the pain was so distracting.

"Are you ready to die now? or do you want to play a little more?" Spacetwilight grinned as her horn hummed with power. she lowered her head down to point the tip at Luna's head. Luna closed her eyes; it seemed this was the end for the Lunar Princess.

Suddenly only one sound was heard. PTZOOOOMFFF! Fallowed by Not Luna's, but Spacetwilight's scream and a loud thud. Luna opened her eyes to see Spacetwilight on the ground with plasma Scorch on her side, behind her shoulder. she looked down and saw High Teck with his Plasma Rifles drawn and smoking. Luna could barely hold a smile to see her friend was okay. "High Teck, Your---"

"Get out of here!" High Teck yelled.

Shock formed upon Luna's face. "What?"

"You heard me; I said get out of here!"

"What!? B-But You can't handle her on your own!"

"Neither of us can! besides. you’re no use to me right now, you’re injured! Get back to Canterlot and lay low until your healed!"

Before Luna could argue the matter even further, Spacetwilight tail lifted and fell back down, followed by a groan.

"I said Go, NOW!" High Teck yelled.

Luna nodded and used what energy she could scrounge from her now weak form to teleport back to Canterlot. High Teck saw her friend and Princess now gone, he turned his attention to Spacetwilight....

"She’s gone!" High Teck said as he felt a cold breath down the back of his neck. "Aw Jeez, I hate it when they do that!" He said under his breath. he then felt a Hoof grab his shoulder and another dig itself between his back and the Tech-Saddle.

Spacetwilight grinned as she pulled the Techno-Saddle off High Teck's back and threw it aside with little effort. He quickly turned around and looked up at her as he Slyfuly smiled at him. she then placed her hoof onto his chest and shoved him back with incredible force, causing him to skid a few feet before falling on his back. Spacetwilight walked up to him and paused. tilting her head a bit and smiled. she then slowly trotted up to him and moved her hoof up to the side of his head and flicked off his headset. at this point High Teck was Confused. then she Purred, Wait what?

"MY, Aren't we a Handsome stud?" Spacetwilight said as she circled the prone Earth Pony stallion.

Oh Celestia you have GOT to be kidding me! Thought High Teck. "Um... wait what?" he said trying to act dumb.

"You heard me. I said you’re quite handsome. it would be a waist to kill such a Prize like you." Spacetwilight spoke in a softer tone.
High Teck at this point was quite used to being the eye candy of Mares and the many Fillies that held a schoolgirl crush on him. in many cases he didn't mind it at all. although now, he is just plain creeped out.

"Well, I don't know about that, I mean uh---" He was cut off when Spacetwilight rubbed her muzzle against his neck.

"Hmmm.... What to do with you? Really I was thinking to kill you, but now, I am beginning to rethink that idea." Spacetwilight said as she rested next to High Teck her tail resting gently on his stomach as the tip came up to his face. the crystal claw blade caressing his chin. "Such a, Creature as you shouldn't be wasted all over a silly quarrel. Maybe I should keep you just for myself?"

High Teck was now sweating profusely. he wasn't sure if she was playing with him before she killed him, or if she was really serious. he gulped and tried to get his mouth to work "Uh.... I-I'm Kinda involved with somepony else right now." He stated.

"Is that so? who is it?" she asked. "You know, I don't like competition."

High Teck then felt Spacetwilight's crystal blade moving down his chin to his throat, he noticed she was starting to apply some pressure.

"Oh, wait. was it that Winged Unicorn, what was her name? oh yes, is it Luna?"

High Teck remained silent and unmoving, he was quite good when it came to interrogations, and he knew if his expression changed she'd find out. possibly even hunt down and killed the mare he loved.

"Oh I guess she must think she’s too High Class for you? I can understand you not being interested in somepony like that." Spacetwilight mused. "perhaps it’s one of Twilight's friends?" with that High Teck's emotions finally betrayed him as his eyes darted and looked into Spacetwilight's, this made her smile. DAMN YOU DAMN YOU DAMN YOU! he cursed to himself.

Spacetwilight slowly moved the Crystal blade of her tail down to High Teck's chest and moved up and down along his chest. "Ah, it’s one of thoughs mares, then. huh?" she giggled. "Don't worry, Just for you I'll ensure their deaths are Quick.... and painless."

She leaned over and licked along his cheek, making him cringe at how cold her tongue was. she pulled back and moved her muzzle up to his ear.

"You are a good little colt while I'm away." she whispered before she disappeared in a flash of light.

High Teck quickly rolled onto his hooves he looked around for where she might be, but it was obvious Spacetwilight was gone. he looked at his Airship still lowered to the ground and Grimaced. "I'm not out of this one just yet!"

End of Part 3

Nightmares and Dreamscapes

"SISTER!" A voice cried out to Princess Celestia, Sitting on her throne with the sun emblem above it. Celestia looked to the source of the Voice that called her attention. to her amazement, her sister Appeared after a teleportation spell, she was wincing in pain as she walked towards her sister, the guards all running up to her asking what happened. They stepped back as Princess Celestia glided over to her sister that has now fell to her side in exhaustion.

"Luna! What has happened to you!?" Celestia asked with tears streaming from her cheeks.

"It... It was a new Pony. S-She plans to conquer Equestria! High Teck and I tried to hold her off while Twi---" Luna stopped and looked around for the Lavender Unicorn but she was nowhere to be seen. "Wait... Where’s Twilight Sparkle, Hasn't she arrived yet!?"

"Luna, please calm down! I haven't seen Twilight All Day. Why would she be coming here?" Celestia asked. It was obvious she knows nothing about what happened earlier that morning.

"Twilight is coming for the Elements of Harmony to stop Spacetwilight!" Luna said.

Celestia stopped for a moment and looked at her sister in disbelief. "What? Who is Spacetwilight?"

Luna sighed and looked up at her sister then sighed. "It started like this...."

Meanwhile in Everfree Forest, Twilight Sparkle, Rarity, Rainbow Dash, Fluttershy, Applejack and Pinkie Pie continued their trek to Canterlot to get their Elemental Ornaments from Princess Celestia to put an end to Spacetwilight's Conquest of Equestria. Twilight Breath harder than she ever have before. Her thoughts racing faster than her legs could carry her.

"How is this even possible!?" Twilight mumbled to herself "It’s all a bad dream! It has to be! AAAH!" Twilight Yelped as she tripped over an exposed rock sticking out of the ground. She winced in pain now evident this was not a dream, this was real.

"Twilight! Are you okay?" Fluttershy asked helping her friend up.

Twilight didn't answer as she got up. She could only respond with a sob.

"This is all just has to be a terrible Nightmare." Twilight said as she sat on her haunches. Breathing hard from the running.

"I know what you mean." Rarity said.

"She looks. So much like me.... It all has to be some kind of a sick joke, and nopony is laughing except the one who came up with it" Twilight added.

Pinkie walked up and was about to say something when Spike suddenly belched. All the girls glared at the Dragon who was holding a letter in his hands.

"It’s a Letter, from both Princess Luna and Princess Celestia!" Spike said as he opened the letter and read the contents to himself.

"Luna? I thought she and High Teck where fighting that Twilight Knockoff to buy is time to get to Canterlot?" Rainbow Dash stated with an arched eyebrow.

"Maybe they won? Maybe Spacetwilight was defeated!" Pinkie Pie said with a grin as she bounced up and down. "This Calls For A Party!"

"HOLD THE PARTY PINKIE!" Spike yelled. "That’s not what it says at all!"

"Then what does it say spike?" Twilight asked.

Spike cleared his throat and began to read.

My Dear Faithful Student,

Luna has told me everything that has happened. I have never been this shocked in my whole long life! I am sorry to say Spacetwilight is still at large. And has begun her attack upon fair Equestria. Crystals have begun to form everywhere around the world. Luna regrets to inform us all that High Teck may have met his end at the hooves of Spacetwilight. After Luna was injured by your clone, High Teck ordered her to return here to Canterlot. We have not heard from him since. And since Spacetwilight is still active, it’s possible he may have been defeated, or worse.

Twilight, this is Princess Luna; you must not let Spacetwilight win. Princess Celestia and I.... No All of Equestria's fate rests in the palm of your hooves. I have placed a tracking spell on this scroll. It will allow my sister to find you and send a chariot to you. Wherever you are please stay there until they arrive. We have the elements with us now ready for you. Please hurry!
The Chariot should be there by the time you read this message.

- Princess Celestia and Luna

Spike was cut off when they all heard the Chariot land behind them in a clearing. A royal guard Pegasus unlatched himself from the chariot and walked to the group.

"Twilight Sparkle?" the guard inquired, yet his face remained serious.

"Yes, that’s me." Twilight said with a nod.

"The Princesses have wished to see you and your friends. It’s urgent!" he stated. It’s obvious he knows nothing about what is going on.

"Yes of course." Twilight responded. As she and her friends got into the chariot. the Pegasus guard latched himself back onto the chariot and him and his counterpart took off without hesitation.

Twilight took the time to rest her legs and her mind. She tried her best to stay awake but Fatigue finally got the better of her as her eyes closed themselves shut. She then found herself waking up to an empty chariot. Nopony was in it. Even the Pegasus royal guards where gone, yet the chariot seemed to still be flying through a foggy sky. Twilight was about to freak out before she felt something next to her, lying against her flank. It was warm and was moving in a rhythmic motion. She turned to see what it was and to her amazement laid a small Unicorn filly that looked just like her. But she had a deep dark red coat, deep dark Blue mane with Red and Violet streaks through her hair. The same colors as Spacetwilight Sparkle she even had the long tail.

The filly was asleep. She was squirming a lot too. Like she too was having a bad dream. Her breathing was erratic. Twilight wasn't sure what to make of this. Twilight took a closer look at the filly. She’s the same filly I saw in my night terror! She thought to herself as she moved her hoof over to touch the filly. She gulped a bit, If this IS Spacetwilight, why is she appearing to me as a Filly right now? Twilight thought. The filly continued to squirm in her sleep, whining wishing she could wake up. Twilight sighed and put her hoof on the fillies' shoulder. Much to her surprise, the filly calmed. Giving out a relieved moan as her breathing started to calm.

For some reason this made Twilight smile. She didn't know why. But it felt good to her as well. She moved over slightly to get more comfortable so she could examine the foal more. Her hoof remaining on the filly's shoulder, it seemed to help keep her calm. Twilight took it further and rubbed the filly's back ever so gently being sure not to wake her, while also wanting to help keep her calm.

"She’s so tiny.... it looks like she hasn't been eating at all." Twilight said under breath.

This must have woken the small Foal as her eyes fluttered open. Twilight was afraid at first, but when the filly looked up at her. The young filly's eyes were violet like her own. But the more Twilight looked at her the more she felt the Filly was more afraid then aggressive towards her. Twilight thought for a moment. This must be Spacetwilight. But she’s so small, and helpless. And why is she so afraid of me? This doesn't make any since at all! The filly started to move back, away from Twilight but was stopped by the back of the chariot's seat. Twilight decided she must try to talk to this form of Spacetwilight; perhaps she can use this to help stop Spacetwilight's Assault?

"Um.... Hello." Twilight asked. Trying to keep her voice sounding as friendly as possible.

The filly looked up at her then she finally spoke. "Hi." she responded, her voice trembled.

She sounds just like me. At least she sounded like me when I was her age. Twilight thought. She then decided to continue the conversation. "What’s wrong?"

The Filly started to calm down a bit. She must be feeling more at ease with Twilight's soft words. "I'm so alone. So cold!" she said as she shivered. "It’s always just so cold!"

Twilight's heart went out to the young pony. "You’re not alone anymore. You have me now."

"But, she said you don't like me." The young filly said as she tried to get a little further away from Twilight. But the chariot's small seat was preventing her from getting too far from her.

"No, I never said that?" Twilight asked "Why would I not like you?"

The filly blinked a couple of times. She seemed to be thinking about this as well. Twilight could barely hold a smile as she saw how alike they were. It must be because she’s my clone. She must be as smart as I am, but she’s obviously niece and would easily believe whoever told her I didn't want her. Twilight beamed at the young filly.

"Whoever told you this is a big fat liar and is trying to make you do bad things? You shouldn't believe somepony just because they scare you." Twilight said to her as she placed a hoof on her shoulder.

The filly looked at Twilight and smiled, and then her face twisted into a face of terror as she quickly looked behind the chariot. "SHES COMING!"

"Who? Who’s coming!?" Twilight asked she didn't see Anypony around but she heard an all too familiar laughter.

"NO! GO AWAY!" the Filly said as a mass of Black mist appeared over the chariot causing it to rock violently. The black mist shot out tentacles at the young Unicorn grabbing her tail and began to pull her up towards it. "NOOO! HELP ME, TWILIGHT! PLEASE!"

She Knows My Name!? Twilight thought she then snorted and grabbed and embraced the Filly, wrapping her forelegs around each other as she tried hard to pull the young Unicorn out of the grasp of the Black mist tentacle. The filly held on to Twilight with all the strength her little body could muster.

"YOU’RE NOT GOING TO HAVE HER ANYMORE!" Twilight yelled as she pulled harder, to her amazement the filly didn't scream in pain. It was if she wanted to be free of this entity so much that Pain meant nothing to her.

The Black Mist gave an angered howl as it pulled her even harder causing the filly to scream and hold on even tighter to Twilight. Then, Twilight could hear her friends urging her to wake up NO! NOT YET! Please! Twilight thought hoping they would hear, but she then began to feel her body fade from the realm. "NO!"

As her body faded the Filly finally lost her grip and screamed as the Black Mist pulled her into its maw, the little filly cried out in tears "TWILIGHT!" with her hoof out before the jaws of the Black Mist slammed shut around her.

"NOOOOO!!!!!" Twilight Yelled, fully awake with her friends and several royal guards and maidens looking at her.

"Twilight, Sugar-cube, are ya okay!?" Applejack asked.

"You fell asleep and didn't wake up, then you started thrashing around screaming 'no you shall not have her anymore' something like that. It was so scary!" Pinkie Pie said. It was one of the few times she acted completely seriously. And rightfully so.

"Didn't you see her!?" Twilight asked. All her friends looking at her before Rarity walked up.

"See who? There’s nopony here but us, Twilight."

"A filly, she looked just like me and she was in the chariot!" Twilight said looking by her side to see the seat next to her completely empty.

"Twilight, there’s nopony there! There never was any filly with us." Spike said.

"But she was sleeping right here next to me! She knew my name she looked exactly like me! Then a black mist came and.... it took her!" Twilight screamed franticly to get her friends to believe her. "Please! I'm not lying! She was here!"

"Twilight, you were tired from the run. You fell asleep, it was all a dream!" Rainbow Dash said holding her friend by the shoulders to help calm her down.

Twilight thought back at the dream. "But it felt so real. And she knew my name. She was so small." Twilight said, to nobody particularly.

"What In the name of all that is holy Is Going on Here?" Princess Celestia walked up to the chariot. Her face straight and serious. Her patience was obviously exhausted.

"We're sorry your majesty." Twilight said. "I fell asleep on the way here. And had another Nightmare."

"Just like before?" Princess Celestia asked her attitude swiftly changed to concerned.

"Kind of. Although different. And that same little filly was here---" Twilight thought for a moment. Then shook her head. "Err the filly was in my dream. She knew who I was and everything."

"Did you talk to her? What did you talk about?" Celestia asked. She was truly interested in her pupil's dream. She must know what it could be signifying as well.

"She was saying how lonely and cold she was. She also said someone was telling her to do bad things." Twilight said. She felt she should tell the princess about them also telling her that she didn't want her. At least not yet.

"Sounds familiar." Luna said as she walked up beside her sister with bandages wrapped around her torso.

"Princess Luna! My goodness, what did she do to you!?" Twilight said when she looked at Luna's bandages.

Luna smiled. "its okay, Twilight Sparkle. We will be okay."

"How does this sound familiar Luna?" Celestia asked. She knew the answer but didn't want to say it.

"When I was Nightmare Moon, I had somepony, or something telling me how nopony loved me and it fueled my Rage and jealousy. It got to the point I was no longer in control anymore." Princess Luna said looking down ashamed at herself. then she heard one of the Element's barer speak.

"Where is he?" Rainbow Dash looked up to her with worry. They all did.

"I don't know.... I ordered some guards to go to Ponyville's town center. They haven't found him yet." Luna replied closing her eyes and shaking her head. "I pray he is alright."

"He has to be!" Twilight said looking up at Luna.

"Don't worry My Little Ponies. I'm certain High Teck is alright." Princess Celestia said with a smile.

"What makes you say that Princess Celestia?" Rarity asked with an arched eyebrow.

"Because I can see his airship just over the horizon." she said pointing upwards with her hoof and beamed. "I am certain his ship still requires guidance to fly does it not?" Celestia said as the Airship flew up over the group and hovered over them. Before landing in a clearing many Royal Guards made for the airship to land.

The airship landed with little effort and its side hatch opened as a white coated red mane Stallion walked out.

"High Teck! Your Alive!" the main six all cheered as they ran up to him. The Princesses remained where they were but beamed brightly with their smiles.

"Are you okay? What happened?" Twilight asked as she embraced the Techno-pony, then she smelled him. "Uh... and why do you smell like strawberries?" she smelled him once again. "Did you take a shower?"

"Uh... heh yeah, I Kinda had to." High Teck Chuckled. "Um... you see. After Luna came back here I was going to fight Spacetwilight at least to the point so I give you girls enough time to get here."

"Then what happened? How did you escape? And why did you take a shower?" The mane six kept asking him until he finally answered.

"Well um.... she ripped off my techno-saddle. Removed my headset. And...." the girls all leaned in to find out what happened next. "She uh.... Well she..... Started trying to seduce me."

Everypony, Celestia and Luna included all Jaw dropped. Even the Royal guards couldn't keep their own contiguity as they too got a look of shock on their face.

"Wait, she seduced you?" Twilight asked as her cheeks went red Yep; she’s defiantly my clone if she could develop an attraction to him. Twilight thought.

"Um... Tried. I didn’t give into it though." High Teck proudly said. "I get enough attention from you girls as it is." this made the all the six girls blush before Princess Celestia approached. "Oh Dear...." he mumbled to himself.

"High Teck, I....."

"Oh Dear...." He said his ears folding back. He was ready to get the worst ear lashing to date. Celestia lowered her head down and kissed his cheek. "Uh....."

"Wish to thank you. For saving my sister's life." She said with a smile.

"But... it was my rocket that started this in the first place?" High Teck admitted.

"Even so, you could never have anticipated this outcome. Also, you built that rocket, not to bring harm to Equestria, but to help expand our knowledge of the universe beyond my sun and my sister's moon. How can I possibly be upset about that?" she said with a smile and looked over to Twilight. Whose ears folded back as she looked down to her hooves in disappointment at herself? "Neither of you two have done any wrong. Accidents can and do happen. Even the most terrible of them are never intentional." Celestia closed her eyes and breathed in. She suddenly opened as a box appeared in front of her. "But with all mistakes, we must also take responsibility and work them out."

Both High Teck and Twilight Sparkle nodded and agreed. Celestia walked up to Twilight and smiled. Her smile went away when she felt something grabbing at the box. It was magic, similar to Twilights. "Twilight, I know your anxious to get the Elements of harmony. But can you please let go of the box?"

Twilight looked at the Solar Princess questionably and shook her head. "I'm sorry your majesty, but I'm not doing anything."

Celestia thought for a moment, and then she put two and two together. But before she could react the ground began to shake beneath them before bursting open as a Large Crystal rose from the earth separating Twilight and Princess Celestia and knocking the Elements of Harmony out of Celestia's Magical Grasp. The box fell to the ground and the six elemental ornaments scattered to the ground.

"The Elements of Harmony, Quick get them before---" Rainbow Dash was caught off when an aura surrounded them and they floated upward. "Twi, Please tell me that’s you doing that..."

Twilight shook her head with her mouth agape. "Sorry Rainbow Dash, it isn't me."

Everypony looked up as the Elements of harmony floated higher and higher before a flash of light blinded most of the ponies, all except Celestia who looked on. Her eyes widened as she laid her eyes upon the Space-Unicorn.

Floating up in the air, her horn aglow as she levitated herself as well as the Elements of harmony, her body posed in a Crucifix as her tail flowed in the none existent wind.

"Spacetwilight Sparkle!" Twilight said as she looked up.

"My, my ears are burning" twitches her ear a bit. "Hello mother." Spacetwilight said with a giggle, turning her attention to the elements of Harmony. "Oh, are these for me? I'm not much of a jewelry girl, but in this case I'll make an acceptation." Spacetwilight said as she took Twilight's tiara and placed it upon her head. She looked at the other five Elements of Harmony and smiled as she levitated them upward and began to spin them around.

"Tough luck if you think the Elements of Harmony will work for you, Spacetwilight!" Pinkie Pie said with a pokerface.

"Yeah, the elements of harmony can only work for us or the Princesses." Twilight Sparkle stated as she smirked at her twin. "You know nothing about friendship to utilize them. And even if you did you still don't have the spark." Twilight added.

Spacetwilight scowled at Twilight and bared her teeth at her. "You Putrid Foal. Friendship is NOTHING to me! Your Elements of Harmony is useless against my Might! Many have tried and used Hydrogen bombs, Hyper Masers, Not even the Oxygen Destroyer could destroy Me! My Power is unequaled!"

"You’re the foal Spacetwilight! The Elements of Harmony is no weapon. and even with your infinite power, not even you can withstand their purifying light!" Princess Luna said.

"Is that so? Well then you know what they say? if something exists that threatens your existence, GET RID OF IT!" Spacetwilight said as she lifted the Elements of harmony higher and higher, spinning faster and faster before letting they go. each piece being shot out across the horizon. with Spacetwilight laughing as she lowered to the ground. "Try and find your precious Elements of Harmony now, My Little Ponies!" Spacetwilight cackled as the mane six, Princess Celestia, Princess Luna, High Teck, and all other ponies in the courtyard all looked on.

End of Part 4

Divide and Conquer

As the sun begins to set upon Equestria, Spacetwilight continues to laugh at the Ponies that oppose her. Spacetwilight Scattered the Elements of Harmony to the furthest reaches of the planet.

"With your Elements of Harmony scattered all over Equestria, and lack of a formable Military, Your world shall fall by my Hoofs!" Spacetwilight Gloated at the Ponies. "By This time tomorrow, Equestria shall Fall like the last two planets have!"

With each word Twilight closed her eyes tightly folding her ears back and baring her teeth. She gave a low growl as she thought. It’s hard to believe that this monster, this blood thirsty, murderer could truly be that sweet and scared little filly. It’s that Black Mist, it has to be!

"Twilight?" Spacetwilight said. This grabbing Twilight's attention as she looked up at her clone. Eyes watered as she looked up at her. "Awww what’s wrong? Did the big bad Mare say something that made you angry---"

"SHUT UP!" Twilight Snapped. "SHUT UP SHUT UP SHUT UUUUPP!!!!" she screamed her mane and tail ablaze. Twilight's Anger running high as she looked at her clone with angry eyes. "I HAVE HAD ENOUGH OF THIS! You truly think we're beat all because you scattered the Elements of harmony and stole my tiara your mistaken! We're not beat yet and mark my words you will be sorry you ever messed with Equestria, and most of all ME!" Twilight yelled. Her friends shocked at her sudden outburst. Even the Princesses themselves couldn't prevent their faces from showing their overall shock.

Spacetwilight was bewildered. Nopony has ever raised her voice to her. Nor has she ever seen such determination in such a species. She looked down at her hooves and down the rest of her body. Perhaps that’s where I get my Determination? Spacetwilight mused with a smile. Overall impressed she decided it was time she teach her 'mother' a lesson. Perhaps it would be unwise to leave such a potential threat unattended to. I may be powerful but I read plenty of books about war. So many successful dictators where so close to victory before they let their cockiness gets the better of them before they were eleminated.She bared her teeth and snarled. No, I shall not make the same mistake!

"Originally I had intended to let you live, Mother. But now I feel it is time I demonstrated my Full Power, By Killing you to ensure my Victory over this planet! Oh yes how good it will be to taste your blood as I rip your throat out with my bear teeth! Yessss!" Spacetwilight said as she grinned toothily with each word before licking her lips.

Twilight for some reason was unphased by the death-threat. she started to walk forward before she was stopped by the Massive wing of Princess Celestia.

"I'm afraid you have to go through me first, My twisted little Pony." Celestia said with her wings up and out, the same threatening manner Princess Luna had done.

"Princess Celestia, This is MY Fight not yours!" Twilight said, her friends shocked even more at the defiance towards her own mentor.

"Don't you raise your voice to me young lady!" Celestia yelled back. Twilight finally snapped out of her anger and gasped.

"Princess Celestia, I am so sorry, I don't know what has come over me!" Twilight replied.

"There’s no time for that." Celestia said before looking to Princess Luna. "Luna, Take Twilight and her friends out of here and retrieve the five missing Elements, I'll hold her off until you return."

Luna was about to Protest before Celestia gave her a stern look, she lowered her head and closed her eyes. "As you wish my sister, Please be safe."

"Oh don't worry. I won't hurt Little Miss Sunshine here too much." Spacetwilight replied with a snicker. Luna Looked and snarled at her as she became enraged to the point her eyes glowed.

"There’s not much time, Luna. Please go!" Celestia said as she kept her eyes on the twisted look alike of her beloved Student.

Luna sighed and nodded she walked up to the mane six and spread her wings. "Hang on girls, this may feel a slight tingle." Luna said as she focused her magic, her horn glowed a dark blue. the six ponies huddled close together. High Teck was about to run over to them before he was shot by an electro beam by Spacetwilight's Horn. Flinging him back several feet away.

"You’re not going Anywhere!" Spacetwilight yelled as she aimed her horn towards Princess Luna. she charged her horn up and shot another Electro Beam at the group. the beam traveled at great speed. Luna froze, she knew the speed this beam can travel. she has to Protect the Elements of Harmony's Bearers though. she sighed, taking the few seconds she had left to shield the girls from the blast, Luna swiftly moved her wings around and crossing them in front of the mane six. she closed her eyes and hoped the teleportation spell will work before the beam had hit her. but she knew it be too fast. she kept her eyes closed in the mere seconds that felt like an eternity.

However, before the beam could hit its target Celestia ran in front of the beam and at the tip of her left wing she stopped the beam. she swiftly moved her right wing to over to her left wing as she guided the electro beam down to the shoulder of her left wing, down below her foreleg's elbows up and shooting the beam out of the tip of her right wing, sending it up into the sky. Celestia Panted for a moment. the maneuver may have looked simple, but the force of the beam and the concentration were both Mentally and Physically exhausting.

Everypony blinked as they looked at Princess Celestia in amazement. Even Spacetwilight was impressed. Princess Luna too blinked before she noticed her magic was fully charged. she raised her wings and closed her eyes as she, Twilight, Rarity, Rainbow Dash, Fluttershy, Applejack and Pinkie Pie all vanished in a flash of light accompanied by an 'Fwap' sound.

Princess Celestia inhaled deeply before exhaling from her mouth. she opened her eyes and stared the Space Pony down.

Spacetwilight Blinked two more times before she squinted her eyes and scowled at the Princess. "Your interference has cost you your Life, Princess. Now you shall suffer by my hoof!"

Celestia said nothing. she merely lowered her head and glared at her student's twisted 'daughter'. Spacetwilight snorted as she too lowered her head and dragged her hoof along the marble floor of the Castle's courtyard floor. this caused sparks to ignited from the friction. the blades on her hooves dug into the marvel slicing through it like a hot knife through butter. the two began to circle each other, their eyes ever so locked upon each other. Then Celestia noticed something in Spacetwilight's eyes. behind the cold, Merciless, Evil shroud laid a scared, innocent, and lonely little filly. Celestia thought back to what Twilight had told her about the little Filly in her dreams especially of what she looked like. It’s the same filly! Celestia thought to herself, though outside the two were still circling each other undoubtedly considering each other’s next move in this showdown. if she was distracted she kept it well hidden. Celestia looked at the filly a little more. she looked so much like Twilight. it was evident she was being manipulated to the point it was too much for the little foals mind to stand. then Celestia decided to break the silence.

"Why don't you stop the macho stuff and let me talk to the real Spacetwilight?" Celestia demanded.

Spacetwilight was perplexed. she looked away and growled. "She has nothing to say to you!" Spacetwilight said, her voice different, it sounded deep, Demonic, and dark.

Celestia's eyes widened, she must be talking to the Black Mist now. She has to keep the Communications going maybe learn of its true purpose. "I don't believe that! You just don't want her to talk to anypony because you’re afraid she'll know the truth!"

The entity growled through Spacetwilight as her eyes went completely black, her growl sounding more demonic than ever. "She’s not allowed to talk to strangers! She only knows Me! I---"

"You Are only Using Her for your own evil purposes!" Celestia interrupted as the entity growled angrily at her. "Twilight told me about her, she is a Sweet little filly that only wants to be loved and to never be alone. And let me tell you something, The Elements of Harmony will free her from your grasps! And she WILL feel that Love!"

"NOO! SHE BELONGS TO ME!!!" The entity roared causing storm clouds to form, lightening flashing as a fierce wind begins to pick up blowing many guards and Royal Maids off their feet.

"NO! SHE DOES NOT!" Celestia stomped her hoof Calming the storm with her own magic. "That Filly belongs to Twilight! it’s from her Blood and Flesh that Filly Came. and it’s to Twilight she shall be returned!"

"AAAAHHH!!!! Not if She is DEAD!" Spacetwilight said with her normal voice. her eyes back to normal as she charged at Celestia with her horn pointed straight at the Princess, aiming straight for her heart.

Celestia Bared her teeth, she quickly sidestepped as Spacetwilight's horn was mere inches from her chest. Celestia then swiftly bucked the Space-pony in the side, causing her to flip to the side, landing on the ground hard.

"I'm Sorry Child. this is the only way it seems." Celestia said, hoping the Foal inside Spacetwilight would hear.

"Your Words are wasted, Celestia! don't waste your final breath on words with no meaning!" Spacetwilight said with a growl as her horn began to glow. this time it began to emit a lot of heat.

"You’re the one who's words are wasted!" Celestia said, she knew what Spacetwilight was planning as her own horn began to glow, heating up with the intensity of her own sun.

Spacetwilight growled as she lifted herself up. her eyes locked onto Celestia as her horn began to make the sound of an electrical current. energy sparked and struck along her horn as it grew hotter and brighter. "I know you well Celestia. Perhaps I should remind you of how you failed your sister 1000 years ago?"

Celestia growled at her words. "What happened between me and Luna 1000 years ago has nothing to do with this. and even if it did it wouldn't matter, my sister and I are back together. And you... You tried to take her away from me yet again!"

Spacetwilight scowled then smirked. "ah yes. that hunky stallion over there just had to get in the way didn't he?"

High Teck got up and looked at the two. his face went red. "Jeez, Give me a break!" High Teck said to himself as he got up and dusted himself off. "I best get out of here. if thoughs two are going to fight then it’s best to help evacuate the area." High Teck looked to his airship and smiled. "the airship will do nicely as an evac ship." he looked at all the guards and royal staff before waving his hooves up in the air. "EVERYPONY, To the Airship! you must get to safety!"

A Royal guard stood up and shook his head. "But the Princess---"

"He is right my faithful servants, You all must leave the castle grounds! this battle may be too dangerous for all of you here." Celestia said.

The guard was about to protest but Spacetwilight grinned at him. "As much as I love to see you all die, I would much rather no one got in my way while I open a Can-o-Whoop-Flank on Miss Whity here."

The Guard bared his teeth then he looked at High Teck who shook his head. "So be it. Guards! get everypony onto that Airship! we're Evacuating Canterlot!"

High Teck looked at Princess Celestia and smiled. "God Speed your majesty. Oh and watch out for that tail!"

Celestia giggled as she smiled back. "Being a goddess I already have a god's speed. but thank you none the less. and thanks"

High Teck smirked and watched as every Pony in the castle got onboard his airship. he sighed before he also got onboard. the Airship slowly begun to ascend into the sky. there it hovered for a short time. "I'll come back for the rest of Canterlot's Populace. try and keep the fight in Castle Grounds until all of Canterlot is evacuated. then you two can go Berserk on each other." High Teck said on the ship's loudspeaker. Celestia watched as the airship flew off.

"Now," Spacetwilight said, getting Celestia's attention. "where were we?" She said tapping her chin as she mock thought "OH YES" She said as her eyes went big with a devious smile "I was going to beat the hay out of you!" She Cackled, as her horn heated up once more.

Celestia wasted no word as her own horn heated up as well. Spacetwilight Inhaled before giving out a thunderous roar as she charged Princess Celestia, Celestia Charged as well before the two locked horns, the impact sending a shockwave accompanied by a sonic pop.

Meanwhile, Princess Luna, Twilight Sparkle her friends Rarity, Rainbow Dash, Fluttershy, Applejack and Pinkie Pie appeared in the now devastated city of Manehattan. Crystal bodies standing everywhere in the dark city. most of the buildings Destroyed by the crystals. but otherwise deserted.

"Where is everypony?" Pinkie Pie said as she looked around. finding not hoof nor tail of anyone.

They continued looking around. the city was obviously deserted. Fluttershy suddenly steps on a twig which spooks her. causing her to squeak.

"You don't think.... their all dead?" Applejack asked. her face showed her worry.

"No.... There would be remains." Princess Luna said as she looked around. "they must have all escaped during the attack."

they all looked around their surroundings, it was confirmed, and the city was deserted. Luna noticed Celestia's sun was resting in the horizon. but it was evident with Celestia busy fighting Spacetwilight it was up to her to lower the sun to raise her moon. Never before have I ever had to lower and raise both the sun and the moon. Luna thought. she inhaled through her nostrils and closed her eyes. she could feel Celestia lending the sun's controls to Luna, she grimaced as she used her magic to lower the sun and raise the moon. it was an exhilarating yet exhausting endeavor. "Phew" Luna sighed as she looked over at her moon. she smiled to see how well she did.

"Princess Luna!" Twilight Yelled.

snapping Luna back to reality. she shook her head and looked over to Twilight. "What is it?"

"We found one of the Elements." Fluttershy said. "But I'm afraid you won't like how we'll have to get it...."
