Darkness in our hearts

”Princess Twilight!” A guard yelled and ran through the halls of Canterlot castle.
“Yes what is it.” Twilight asked as the guard stopped in front of her.
“The Lunar army has left ponyville and we have a change to take that town back. What do you want us to do?” The guard said to her.
“We have to take it back.” Soarin said from behind Twilight.
“Yeah this would be the first victory for us in this war.” Flash said.
“Fine we will take the town back. Secure the town and it’s surrounding and wait until me and my friends and commanders Flash and Soarin arrive there.” Twilight ordered and the guard left.
“Why would they give ponyville to us without a fight?” Twilight asked nopony particular but Flash answered.
“I thunk they are moving their forces from the other fronts to the Canterlot front for the large offensive that they are planning. They are about 50 kilometers away from Canterlot and I think our stallions can hold them there for maybe three days.” Flash said to her.
“Well we should get going.” Twilight said. “Get the girls and we are off to Ponyville.”
As the mane six, Flash and Soarin approached Ponyville they could see the rising smoke stacks and the ash that was flying in the wind. As they entered to Ponyville they could not believe what they saw. All of the towns buildings burned down to nothing but memories of happier time… Sweet sugar cube corner… all those parties and dates are now just a pile of ash near the town hall that was still burning. Carousel boutique… All of Rarity’s family’s memories lay down in a pile of ash on the floor. Sweet apple acers could be seen from there and it was gone… The huge barn that the apple family had put up was gone with the old house and most of the apple trees… Fluttershy’s cabin was just a pile of burned flowers and mud filled with ash… all their lives they had lived here and now it was all gone… except the huge crystal castle that stood tall in the middle of the destroyed town. Every pony was holding back tears as they walked trough the destroyed town towards the castle not knowing what would await them there…
Twilight opened the door of the castle and the girls walked in to the dark castle. There was a weird smell in the air and a faint crying could be heard coming from the darkness. Soarin walked towards the light switch but he felt how his hoof touched something cold and wet… He hit the light switch and the lights came on and lit up the room reviling the corpses of their old friends and neighbours. Soarin looked at his hooves and saw that he had hit a young colt’s bloody corpse as he walked in the darkness.
“Oh god…” Twilight said in horror as she saw the bodies inside her castle. “This… is…” She said and turned around to her friends to see that both Rarity and Fluttershy had fainted and Applejack and Pinkie pie were looking at the bodies in horror. Soarin and Flash were walking around the room trying to look if some pony was still somehow alive but both of them saw how the bodies were cut open… they were all dead.
“Soarin? did you hear that?” Flash asked as they turned over the bodies to see if somepony was still alive. But both of them knew this was a lost cause.
“hear what?” Soarin asked.
“It came from here!” Flash said and ran towards the stair case to the second floor and there they saw a little filly crying alone. Her back was bandaged and around her was some bloody medical equipment.
“Twilight! We found somepony alive!” Flash yelled as he and Soarin picked up Scootaloo and Flew to the door where Twilight and her friends were still.
“Scootaloo what happened!” Twilight asked her as the boys brought her to twilight’s arms.
“She took my wings.” Scootaloo cried out in pain and in sadness.
“Who? Scootaloo you must tell me so we can bring justice to these awful ponies.” Twilight said and hugged her.
“Rainbow Dash.” Scootaloo said and cried out even louder. Even she could not believe that Raibow Dash did it but… she did it.
“What? no… I… no.” Twilight could not believe it… Dash would have never done something like this to anypony. “are you sure?” She asked Scootaloo who saw crying.
“yeah.” She simply said. “She and the black stallion from the weather team and the white stallion who was here a couple of days ago with you guys.”
“What! No! Thunderlane and Spin would never do something like this!” Soarin yelled out in disbelief.
“Scootaloo are you sure?” Twilight asked again.
“yes… yes.” she cried out.
Soarin couldn’t take it and flew off the castle to the town’s park or whatever there was left of it. He couldn’t believe this that his brother and his love would have done such a terrible thing… it couldn’t have been.
“Dash…. why?” He cried out as he realised that this had happened and he had to live with this for the rest of his life…
Meanwhile the girls had left the castle taking Scootaloo to a medical tent and ordered the bodies of the innocent to be buried to the back yard of the castle. The stallions of the royal army started on the task but even they could not believe what had happened. Pinkie pie was just looking to the sky where moon was about to rise and the sun was about to set down. She now knew she would never get him back… he was gone for now.
“Spin… You aren’t who I fell in love with any more.” Pinkie said and dropped down a tear.
“The following night was hard. No pony slept well and even thou Twilight was tired and Flash was hugging her she could not sleep very well… until a dream started. A weird dream because she was floating in space.
“What is happening?” She asked herself.
“Twilight. I need you to listen to me. I don’t have much time but you need to make sure that the battle that is about to start in a few day will not be the end for the elements of harmony.” A familiar stallion voice said.
“Night Comet s that you?” Twilight asked and looked around.
“Yes but remember what I said. Don’t let the next battle be the end of the elements of harmony! Remember that friendship and love conquers even the darkest hearts and will turn them in to stars!” Night Comet’s voice said and all the sudden she woke up.
“What’s wrong Twi?” Flash asked her and hugged her tightly.
“I don’t know… I don’t know.”
