//------------------------------// // The Abduction // Story: Starlight's Quest // by 21latenighter //------------------------------// Starlight's eyes shot open as she jumped off of her bed, screaming at the top of her lungs. "Luna!!! Nooo!!!!!" The bedroom door burst open as Twilight ran in, magic ready for whatever had her friend in peril. "Starlight!!" Twilight yelled as she ran in and realized she was having a nightmare. She quickly ran over to her and got the unicorn's attention. "Starlight, Starlight.. it's okay.. it's okay.. it was just a bad dream.." Twilight said as she soothed Starlight down. "Twilight... it wasn't a dream.. Princess Luna's been kidnapped!! We gotta find her!" Starlight half yelled, half screamed at the alicorn. "Easy Starlight, easy..." Twilight lulled, "Princess Luna is fine, she's back at the castle, trust me.." "No Twilight!! She was kidnapped by her older brother, he said he was gonna destroy-" "Starlight! It was a bad dream!" Twilight interrupted as she scolded her. "Princess Luna is fine!" "But are you..." came a deep voice from the hall, and before Twilight was able to react, she and Starlight both were frozen by a magical energy. Then a brown alicorn walked into the room, keeping his focus on Starlight. "This was almost too easy... and you played your part perfectly Starlight Glimmer.. hahahahhaa... such a shame you turned from your path, you would've made a fine ruler... but now you will watch as we tear your world apart, piece by piece..." Fury said as he circled the unicorn. "Who- who are you!?!" Twilight asked, bewildered. "Yes.. where are my manners, my name is Fury Flight, son of Galaxo, and a keeper of balance.. a balance that you and your friends have severed with the age of Harmony." "Harmony is balance! Without harmony there would only be chaos!!" Twilight said as she tried to break free from her restraint. "You are only but a child Twilight Sparkle, only knowing what ponies have taught you, mainly my sister... who believed that Harmony would save us from the cruel world, and refused to believe in the balance of harmonic chaos..." Fury said as he lifted Twilight into the air, where she began to panic slightly. "It doesn't matter what you do to me.. Harmony will always go on!" Twilight said as she held out against Fury. "Are you so sure Twilight Sparkle?" He asked as he chuckled. "You have done so much for Harmony... no other could compare to you, and yet you speak of going on without you! Hahahhahahaaaa!!!" He said as he then released Starlight. "Sorry Starlight, but we have to take our leave, I'm sure you'll understand.." Fury said as he and Twilight vanished. "Nooooo!!! Twilight!!!" Starlight screamed as she ran to the now empty space. She wanted to cry, but instead began to giggle. "This is-isn't wh-what I wanted to do," Starlight said as she giggled harder. Her magic then shot out of her horn and shot to the ground. "M-my magic," Starlight giggled. "W-what's going on??" She panicked as she tried to figure out what had just happened. "Without Twilight... he turned the tide, harmony has fallen.." Starlight said slowly as she thought of an explanation. She ran from the bedroom to the throne/map room and called the rest of the mane six to the castle.
