//------------------------------// // Chapter 1 Days or Months Later // Story: Broken Life: Twilight's Fallen Angel: 2 Broken Inside // by Nightmarity19 //------------------------------// 2 months have passed since Twilight left with Sunset Shimmer to who knows where and nothing has changed since I broke the horrible news to everyone in Ponyville about the events that transpired two months ago during the Sun Festival. Ponies have been trying different ways to enter a portal unharmed but so far no such luck, as for Dash she fell into a deep depression and will not come out of her home until Twilight's safe return. Rarity knocked on the door again for the 100th time. "Dash please come out we can find Sunset together and defeat her to get Twilight back" No answer. Rarity went back down to Ponyville still disappointed that one simple thing like Twilight leaving for Sunset upset Rainbow so much. Looks like I might need help and I know just the pony to ask who is willing to help Rarity thought. She rushed over to a door and knocked, who came out was Starlight Glimmer who just finished lunch and squinted to notice it was the fashionista standing at her door. "Oh Rarity I never thought you would be back here, what do you want?" Starlight asked rubbing one eye. "Well it's just that Twilight gained some new kind of power and left with Sunset Shimmer and-" Starlight stopped her. "Inside. Now." Starlight commanded. Rarity was confused by the sudden request but came in anyway, Starlight looked around before shutting the door. "So you saw that beam of light?" Starlight asked. "A light? I know it was very bright that's all I know" Rarity tried to remember what happened. "Ok Sunset is running a cult religion and has pulled your friend Twilight into this and now in about hmmmm 3 days time, her power will reach a level never seen before" Starlight explained. "What do you mean?" Rarity was confused about what she is talking about. "To put it in simple terms, she'll unleash dark power that not even the sun and moon princesses' can stop" Starlight said. Rarity gasped at the fact of Luna and Celestia dead courtesy of Twilight. "But there can be hope...it's dangerous though" Starlight said looking out the window. "Whatever it is we have to at least try" Rarity replied trying to be hopeful. "We first need to find an ex cult member that will tell us where our little item could be" Starlight said levitating a saddle bag onto her back. "Where is he or she?" Rarity asked. "She lives at the Ponyville flower shop, she used to work with those nut bags but only has vague memories about it" Starlight explained. "You mean Rose?" Rarity guessed. "Bingo" Starlight said answering Rarity's questions. They both headed out unknown to them 2 hooded figures watched them leave to go see Roseluck. Those figures decided to follow them all the way towards the Flower Shop as they hid in the shadows awaiting further instructions. A jingle of a bell perked up Roseluck that was underneath the table setting up flower pots before coming to the desk to greet both mares who looked at each other in confusion. "Roseluck is there a private place we can talk?" Rarity asked. "Of course both of you follow me please" Rose said walking from the front desk to another room. Inside this room was nothing but a lone chair and a single window off to the left and Rose sat down on the chair. "We need to know where the angel stone is" Starlight said forcefully. "The angel stone? I have seen that before and you can find out more about that at the Canterlot Museum of National History, there you will find what you seek but tread carefully as obstacles that are after the same thing" Roseluck warned them of who could also be after the same thing. Rarity was shaking in fear while Starlight stood still, brushing her mane out of her face. "Thanks Rose" Starlight thanked her for the information to start this little journey. "Yea thanks Rose" Rarity said leaving in a hurry. Starlight still kept a straight face when she left which shocked Rarity considering her tone was weird and threatening. "You won't intimidated by that?" Rarity asked getting a little angry. "Oh please I've seen Flutterbat act more threatening than Rosey here acting like an old sea captain who's had one too many" Starlight responded. "Well if you say so" Rarity wanted to trust her. Starlight decided to teleport them into Canterlot without having to endure foot travel and plus teleporting was a lot more fun than running. "Here we are, the Canterlot Museum of National History where the best come to learn" Starlight said entering the Museum. Rarity looked in awe at all the historical relics she saw but had to stay focused and find that Angel Stone. "Just a little background information about the stone, your basically untouchable and can take out any demonic presence you happen to pass by" Starlight reminded the white unicorn. She held on what Glimmer was explaining to her. Dash in the meantime still laid in bed depressed but perked up to see Twilight appear. "What do you want?" Dash asked sharply. "That's no way to treat somepony who wants to give you company as your in this deep depression" Twilight responded back. Dash went to charge at her but sludge like tentacles grabbed her arms preventing her from moving. "I understand you have some deeper emotion about what happened two months ago but I've come to see you again Dashie" Twilight said walking closer to the cyan blue pegasus. She held her cheek in exchange for a kiss. Starlight moved a tablet from the wall then used a flashlight to look inside the hold behind something else. While she did that, a picture of Adam and Eve caught the attention of Rarity who stared at it, intrigued by the image. I wonder what that is Rarity thought. Soon enough, Starlight got her head out of the hole to see what Rarity was looking at. "Ah the famous Adam and Eve, the first ponies in our world. Story goes that God told them not to eat an apple from a specific tree but Eve being tempted by a snake ate it anyway kick starting this crazy world we live in" Starlight explained with a bit of disgust. "Something wrong?" Rarity asked. "It just boggles my mind that ponies actually believe something like that" Starlight ranted. "Ponies have different views on life other than you" Rarity mumbled to herself. Starlight ignored that comment but then heard a rumbling noise that made the room start to shake. "What on Earth?" Rarity asked frantically. A loudspeaker came on with feedback but was cleared up. "In the city of Egypt there was said to be a great flood that wiped out everypony there, killing millions living there" Starlight tried to make sense but couldn't. That's when she heard dripping of not water but something more red and thick. Blood Starlight said in her head. "In case you have a plan, I think now would be a good time than ever!" Rarity said panicking.
