Teaser Preview for spin-off/sequel to Four villianesses vs Dusk Shine. · 7:56am Aug 14th, 2020
Dusk Shine Vs… Huh?
There is no way that this can be happening…
Dusk Shine was at an impasse, as he stood before the three diarchs of Equestria. Princess Celestia Sol, Princess Luna Night, and Princess Mi Amore Cadenza. He himself was a diarch of Equestria, but didn’t carry the title like they did. He had only just been an alicorn for less than a year, but yet he was getting requests, praises, titles and the such, not just from Canterlot but from Ponyville as well.
That was not the impasse though. It was the fact that he was originally supposed to ascend on his own. That Celestia, Cadence, even Luna, were to witness his transformation to an alicorn through magical means. However, with the intervention of the villainesses, the forced transformation, was a fluke.
“We still are not sure how it happened, Dusk.” Stated Celestia. “Perhaps the trauma or the darker transformation that you…” she paused, trying to find the right words, before adding. “...undertook, made you into an alicorn. The book I had given to you by Starswirl the Bearded, had the magic needed to do the ascension on its on.” She sighed heavily, shaking her head. “This was an unforeseen circumstance.”
Dusk shifted on his hooves, unsure of how to approach this. “If you had planned for this, then why not tell me? Why the secrecy?”
“To tell of your future, Dusk Shine, could have had drastic changes.” Luna answered. “It was in the best interest that your ascension be withheld from you to prevent any meddling that you might have done to stop or not succeed.” Luna gave a bit of a grimace. “We have failed in that aspect.”
In truth, nopony really saw the intentions of the four villains until it was too late. Spike was one of the few who noticed the absence of Dusk and with his brother’s sudden disappearance, he immediately sought help from the girls and the princesses.
Up until the month after they were banished, Dusk blamed himself for what had happened, while the rest believed they were at fault for failing to let him fall to the dark forces.
The dark shadow of Luna, Nightmare Moon.
Twisted and unstable, Eris the Draconequus.
The cruel and cunning lies of the queen, Chrysalis.
And the dark Tyrant of shadows, Silhouette.
The torture and painful torment of Dusk had turned him into the dark entity, Nightfall, who was Tarturas bent on recreating the world in his own image. Dusk and Luna still try to work on his nightmares when they come up to it.
Clearing her throat, Luna gave a small grin. “My sister tells me that you have been getting suitors and mares calling out for you, more so since you’ve gained wings?”
Cadence, Alicorn of Love, was almost bouncing in place as she heard the words again. “Oh! Little Dusky is getting suitors! I can’t wait to see which mare has caught his eyes.” She paused and quickly added. “Or Stallions, if you are into them too!”
Dusk flinched a bit at that. The overwhelming love and support from his sister-in-law was difficult to de-spell, literally. Since his alicorn status was given, mares and yes, even stallions across the country, have come to try and swoon over the newly crowned alicorn, Dusk Shine. His title was never fully cemented in place, though Celestia and Luna believed that his ascension should be kept under wraps on what he had ascended on; the public knew of only the title as ‘Prince of Friendship’. Dusk Shine felt that that wasn’t close, since he nearly damaged his friendship with his friends and his family.
The moniker of little importance but the status that came was much more enticing. As stated, many have come across the lands to be part of the newly started alicorn of Equestria, many moving into Ponyville just to see him. A male alicorn was far more rare, much exotic than the Princesses themselves, with the possibility of suiting with him far easier since his choice of partners were nearly endless. The worst of it came when somepony started rumours that herds may be involved with him.
He cleared his throat a bit, responding softly. “I-I don’t think that I am ready for any of that. Being with somepony is… not what I want.”
The joy all but left his sister-in-law, while Luna and Celestia looked at each other in concern. He felt bad for saying it outloud but he pushed past his ability to hesitate. “I-I still feel… broken with all that has happened and right now, I am just trying to figure out what to do with all of… this.” He gave a small flap of his wings, as well as waving his hoof to the palace around them. “What am I supposed to do with all of this?”
The trio Princesses seemed to be troubled by his proclamation though it felt like he was burdened with the weight of the world. They dared not tell him the truth right away.
Celestia spoke in clear but in her calm manor, motherly almost, that it still to this day, warmed many hearts. “Dusk, while I know that you did not ask for this burden, it still may come to you when we ask that you help the world when in need. Since their banishment, those four…. ‘Evil souls’,” she hissed the words, sounding almost bad to his ears. “-have left a harsh impact on not just you, but Luna, I, Cadence, your friends and many others. We know that you have not yet recovered in the six months since. Yes, you have recovered physically but not… mentally.”
Luna put her two bits in. “We know what its like to recover from something traumatizing dear Dusk. Even now, while Nightmare is no longer part of us, nor no longer here, the echoes and the evil deeds that were done with her, still linger in our hearts. Wounds heal, but the scars will remain. It is up to us to see past them and try to better ourselves from it.”
“And don’t forget Dusk,” Cadence finally input. “That you were not in control, nor were you able to free yourselves. You are powerful in magic, but they had the strength to match alicorns, so it would be best not to dwell on what you could have done since you were helpless.”
He slumped upon hearing that, making Cadence regret her final words. ‘Helpless.’ That was the word he hated and loathed, especially by her of all ponies. ‘Helpless’ when he had just ripped the magic straight from six demi-goddesses. ‘Helpless’ when he remembered seeing out of those eyes, the pink alicorn staring up at him in fear and pain. ‘Helpless’... when he nearly took her magic and perhaps… the magic that may have taken the life of his future niece or nephew. A brief glance at Cadance’s belly showed that she had grown, but was still ways off from delivery. A piece of guilt that would always follow him and may never recover.
Not knowing what else there was to say or even talk about, Dusk met their eyes briefly before looking back down. “I don’t deserve these wings, I don’t deserve this responsibility. You gave me the title of ‘Prince of Friendship’ but I haven’t earned it. Until I do, like Cadence said, ‘I am still helpless’ to do anything.”
Before they could respond, Dusk charged his horn and teleported away.
My final possible clop fic here on Fimfiction involving ponies. Depending on the ratings of this SPINOFF, I am still trying to debate putting the OFFICIAL sequel to Four Villianesses vs Dusk Shine as a clop-fic or teen rating. This is not the direct sequel but... I just want everyone to know that when this story is published, it may or maynot get me kicked off Fimfiction. Why? Well... it involves a certain act against many codes that most fandoms stay away from. I am risking it because... I want to be the first to pull it off. If its successful, then It will be bold and perhaps give me praise. If not... then its been nice knowing you all. Now its not the actions of this fics, but those involved. I will not say anymore. This one shot will lead directly into the sequel of Four Villianesses vs Dusk Shine. Title in progress with the first chapter being done soon,
...
I will witness you my friend
Fight the system
Well for a preview it actually well done. I'm glad you're making a sequel to this story also don't worry as long as you're now crossing the line against fimfiction devs they won't bother I think.
5335527
I never said dev lines being crossed, I said fandom lines being crossed.
5335528
Considering some of the things I've read on this site, I can't imagine what lines you could possibly cross.
5335549
Its not so much the acts, it the character involved
5335557
Foalcon?
5335579
Starts with F, ends with N. but not Foalcon... to easy. No more hints! I publish... tonight! Around 9pm, Pacific Time.
Just to be a pedantic ass, wouldn't they be a triumvirate, not a diarchy? After all, monarch is one ruler, diarch is two rulers, triumvirate is three. Unless Cadence isn't part of it, but then why would she be included in the description of a diarchy? And with Dusk's addition, wouldn't that make them a tetrarchy? Questions to ponder and throw away because they are petty and meaningless.
5335605
Its good to ask and I appreciate a few smart ones. So first of you are right, though as its only Luna and Celestia, its a diarchy. Cadence runs the empire. But if we were to go with the shows way, if Dusk ruled, it would turn to monarchy.
But no plans like that will be introduced in my stories, so not important.
You are the best.
5335688
Well twilight did become a monarch at the end of the show.
5336115
She did, though I am trying to find the word I want to describe in the story. What it is... Ill ask if you know it later.
well i been in on this form the start for the story, So if you Do more, Go for whatever rating you want your Dusk Story has been a Great read.
(p.s i did not see that coming, what you did in (Dusk Shine: Revival) so if you where aiming for suprise i think you got most with that.)
