"Return"

It's been over a week since. Since Star Swirl left behind Equestria. He has had Discord by his side for that weak alone All he has heard from him over and over. Fluttershy Fluttershy. He softly tried to speak to him many times.

"Discord please."

Discord didn't even turn to look. The spell that was used on him seemed to be very damning to his mind. He bet if he looked into his head. That his brain has been fully damaged beyond compare. That's something he didn't want to see himself. But when they get to the new world. He will force the creature into the bubble to heal.

But he had many things to think of before then. Sombra was in the body of that mare. Maybe Twilight knew maybe she didn't but he felt maybe she was under the control of these creatures for a long time. Since the first time they met. He's starting to wonder if they were allowed to escape limbo so Twilight would be easier to catch.

Because of a few years after that. It's when that creature war showed up. Then they stayed together for so long. Then the crystal heart started to break. But after this flight since. His ship is made to go through space faster than most ships. He made it to the new world in a week. While it would take some a month or so.

He lands his ship on the newly made starport. Luna was there waiting she looked like she had been crying. He lifted the relics offering them to Luna. " Fix them plant the new flower in the ground. They will return when it's time." She nodded taking the relics offering them to the ponies of the land.

" Fix them plant that seed." She said softly and the ponies nodded. The first town was amazing looking. It properly hasn’t been named yet. But a market place has been built many houses have been built. But that’s it so far. The normal light on this is pretty normal to most.

" Rest Starswirl. I will take Discord to the bubble and speak to him." Star swirl nodded and went off to a bed in the tents around the area slowly falling asleep. Discord was carried to the bubble and gently placed inside. Luna slowly went into the dream state entering the dream.

She opened her eyes to see herself in the dream. But the one she saw that surprised her was Spike himself. He looked like he had been crying. " Luna...she did so much to me...She almost killed me. She is not my Twilight anymore. She gave me a potion to forget about her. Before the spell. I can feel everything I knew about her drifting away. I don't want that."

Luna sighed nuzzled the dragon. " Spike...Maybe it's best for now that you allow this to happen. I doubt it will be forever that you will forget her. But maybe it's wise to forget about her. Remember her as the one you love. Not what she is now. The one that fell so hard."

Spike sighed nodding. " I need to go find Charity and speak to her about this dream.."

Luna nodded looking for Discord. But when she found him. He was broken he looked up to her with his wounded eyes and spoke very softly. " Oh, Luna... Thank you." He smiled weakly but he had no power. He just seemed to sit in a chair. His mind looks very broken to the others around him.

" I tried to fight her at every step. But it was harder then I thought it would be. She did so much to me and the ponies of Equestria. She even spits on the grave of Fluttershy. She started to murder Fluttershy's animal friends. She even burned down the cabin. Saying that Fluttershy’s too weak to be remembered."

Luna sighed and sat in front of him. " I doubt that is Twilight any more Discord. You seem to not understand that this is evil that took over her mind. This is how Celestia and I saw you Discord you. But You saw the error of your way. I think the loss of Tempest did so much to wound her."

Discord smiled softly. " Well Tempest oddly being alive still is strange. I know she is in this world. But why did they break up at the start? Well, I know why she saw the evil in Twilight’s heart and that broke her. She broke Twilight by leaving her and then asking me for immortality to watch Twilight fall."

"I am sure she misses Twilight I know that she is here on this world along with Garbal. But the thing is. She is now a happily married mare. She needed to allow herself to become this. I am sure Twilight would understand. But still, I think Twilight is mostly very broken in the heart."

Discord sighed looking away drinking from a cup of tea. "She broke me even more after the spell Luna. She did her best to destroy my mind. To make me try to follow her till the end.”  After what she did to Rainbow Dash. I demanded her to tell me how is that being a princess. She turned around and said. I did that in the name of Celestia. That is not being a princess."

Luna nodded looking to the ground she knew this well. She wanted to be loved herself. She saw Twilight slowly becoming that when her friend's got more praise then she did. Her friends always upset her. The fact that Rainbow got so much praise from all the little ones. When she got barely any praise.


“To me Discord it sounds like she is jealous like.. I was with Celestia.” Luna looks away she knew she had no right to express her feelings on this after what she caused. Even though it never went this far. 

She sighed remembering that very day. On how the station came into their space causing many many problems. " I agree Luna I agree. But I do feel my mind healing now. It will take time. For me to get my powers back. But when I do. I will be staying here. Helping rebuild the station. The station needs to be more Equestrian and a mist of the alliance."

Luna smiled softly nodding. " I agree Discord. I agree It's one of the only ways to learn. Maybe someday most would know. But for now, it's how it's seen. As now I am Queen of this new world. I shall lead like Celestia." Discord smiled weakly nodding.

" I am sure you will do wonderful Luna. That’s the thing that most don't understand. But that’s always the thing ain't it? That most never understand the leader's plight in the grand mind of it all. I stood there for so long. Its been over many months feels like so long."

Luna sighed. " Its almost been a year since this happen Discord. The station has been gone for almost a year. There is a new world. The Zebra's found a place. Close to the other area the ponies are at. The dragons have found a land farther from the ponies. But it's gotten to the point that their finding places to live now."

Discord sighed nodding. " Equestria is fully dead to them now it sounds like. Will, any of them wish to return someday?" Luna sighed softly. Looking towards the other's walking. But most seem to be avoiding Discord then she looks back to him blinking.

" Why are ponies avoiding you Discord?" Discord smiled softly sighing.

" Well, there is a reason this part of the spell only takes the broken. I am the most broken out of all  Luna. Next to Spike and me."

Luna sighed nodded. " Have you spoken to Twilight?" Discord stood up and walked over to the cage and made a sword form in his hand stabbing it inside and Twilight screamed in pain.

" Oh yes, I have been. I have also been having fun with her so I could stop her from using me. So sorry twilight."

Twilight came out of the cell growling but she as forcibly chained down. " I did what I had to Discord. For the best of Equestria."

" Equestria Twilight?" Discord asked. " The world is burning the world is dead. Most of the ponies and races left the world. To become part of the new one. You aren't a queen anymore. You are Twilight. The threat of the universe. I should kill you in this dream." Discord grew in anger. " For what you did to Fluttershy!!"

"Discord.." Luna said softly Discord turned to her. " Fluttershy did it to herself. You know this. She didn't allow Twilight to kill her. Fluttershy allowed her animals to kill her it's how sad it is I know. But it's how it’s going to be sad. I know that is not an easy feat. But you do know that right?"

Discord sighed nodded. " Get back to the real world Luna. I need to think." He sat down sighing.

<HR>

Luna woke up from the dream. She sighed looking over to their world. Ember will be landing soon. Maybe they will make her the leader again. But something is just so calm about this planet. She looks towards so many of the other ponies. It's not a simple way to do anything but its how some see it.

Luna went to go to her tent since her castle will take a while to be built. She slowly fell asleep. But there was something else going on. A bar was built not too long ago. Sitting in the bar is Sugar Sparkle. The crystal pony mare sits in a chair. In her spine thanks to an enchantment she got.

It took her a while to get used to it. But she was able to use her back legs. again she sat down sighing softly in the chair. The bar was owned by Jigsaw since well he's not in the station.

" Sugar relax the station will be opened soon. Then it will be rebuilt and put back into space." Sugar sighed smiling she shifted a bit. While more ponies and other races

" I can't when my friends your wife to be is stuck in that station. I am sure the future has changed. Since Twilight was meant to marry you two."

Jigsaw sighs and smiles. " That's the thing about this Sugar. I didn't buy have of this thing about the future. But I know one thing. That station is going to be fully rebuilt but rebuilt in our way. No longer any of that so-called human tech. It will be Equestira.." He sighed.

The music died he lifted his drink. " For Equestria!!" He yelled. All the patrons of the bar yelled the same. " We shall free it from disharmony" The cheers went and Sugar Sparkle side taking a drink. The music started back up then the patrons went back to speaking.

The spell from the station leaks into the bar itself. Strange magic wraps itself around the legs of Sugar Sparkle. She felt something strange around her legs looking down but seeing nothing. A quick tug pulls her off the stool. With her forehooves, she grabs the stool tightly.

“Help!!!” Sugar screams but it was too late the magic pulls her out of the bar.

" SUGAR!!" Jigsaw yelled and she was carried into the station back into the mind spell. To fix whatever happened to her.
