//------------------------------// // Chapter 20 // Story: My Little Sunset: Magical Girl // by madhat886 //------------------------------// In the Castle of the Two Sister's the leader of the free remaining ponies of Equestria, Trixie is meeting with some of the leaders who have come to fight the Changelings. The first is Storm King who rules most of the lands south of Equestria who has brought along his right hand unicorn, Tempest Shadow who has a broken horn. (1) Prince Rutherford of the Yaks, who agreed to help with the Changelings been stealing resources from his lands. Ember the daughter of the dragon lord Torch, who is using a spell so that her father could speak at the meeting without breaking the castle. Then there's Starlight Glimmer who once was the leader of a village she started, before the Changelings came to her village. Starlight was force to reveal how she created a spell that would remove the cutie marks of ponies, making all of them the same, but she couldn't use it on herself without losing her magic. She was force to use her spell on the captured ponies getting rid of their special talents making the ponies easier to handle. That was till she managed to escape with a human like from the old stories of Dream Valley. Which is why she's at the meeting with said human who's name is Daze Haze who was taken during the attack on London. "The Changelings are going too far," Torch grumbled. "Going to the human world the place where Megan the great came from is something that, I won't stand by." "You know Megan?" Daring Doo ask who came to the meeting after hearing that there's a human in the castle. "Of course we do. She's the one who help Spike the Defender become the first Dragon Lord," Ember said. "Wait Spike the dragon who use to live with the ponies of Dream Valley?" Daring ask. "Yes and the reason why we dragons don't care much for you ponies. The ponies of that time fled their valley leaving Megan and Spike to die after they caused whatever turned their valley into a frozen wasteland," Torch said. "They caused it? But I researched Dream Valley for years and never heard of that before," Daring said. "You must have only been looking only with ponies. We have tales of Megan seeking something to save her brother Danny and sister Molly after the ponies caused something that got them trap in something. The ponies didn't wait for her return and caused their valley to be frozen," Prince Rutherford said. "We have the same tale in the Southlands," Storm King added. "Discord did say what happen in Dream Valley was before his time and the ponies refusing to say what happen there," Daze said. Back on Earth he's just a middle aged plumber who kept up on the current events before he was taken during the attack on London. He managed to escape during a rebel raid with Starlight. "Which explains the lack of information about Dream Valley from pony sources, you should had been seeking other races tales of Dream Valley," Tempest Shadow said glancing at Daring. "That's very interesting but we have bigger problems then what happen in the past. The Changelings are opening portals to the human world," Trixie spoke up. "Those new weapons that some of those Changelings use as well as their new forms are from what they gotten from the human world." "Yes those human weapons are interesting," Storm King said. Ever since the fall of Equestria he's been building up his forces and building up defenses in the settlements he controls. But once reports of human slaves appearing in Equestria and advance machines taken from raids on the Changelings or traded for. Got him into thinking he should side with the ponies as he's well aware of the legend of Megan the human. As that small weapon that's like a handheld cannon, made him aware of how powerful the humans could be. And hearing about the human world from Daze got him very interested in visiting it and opening some channels for some goods. "We must find a way to open our own mirror portal to the human world. We can join forces with Sunset and the other magic users with the human army," Trixie said. "That's better said then done. I saw the mirrors the Changelings are forcing unicorn mages to make. I sometimes was sent there to help make mirrors, but for magical it into a portal they had other ponies doing that. From what, I heard they had only one of them working when they launch their attack on the human world. Which broke when something caused a magical backlash on the other side which happen to the first mirror when Sunset destroyed it. And that's the only place where you'll be able to find information on how to create a mirror portal," Starlight said. "I did wonder what happen to my old friend Sunset after the princess kick her out and now she's the bearer of the element of magic making her a magical girl alicorn right?" Trixie ask Daze. "Yes," Daze said. "But she also destroyed the other elements," Daring said. "But there are now hundreds of shards that gives humans who can use magic, super magical forms," Daze said. "Sounds like a plot in one of those superhero comics," Ember said. "Oh you mean in the issue of Power Ponies revealing how all of them got their powers," Prince Rutherford said. "If queen Chrysalis is taken out the hive will fall apart right?" Daze ask. "Seen it happen when the last changeling queen died suddenly, the entire hive broke apart without a strong leader," Torch said. "I could do it myself but there's thousands of those Changelings now." "Which is why we need a mirror and luckily seeing how this castle use to belong to the two princesses. There is still an achieve and a lab that use to belong to Starbeard the one who made the mirror in the first place," Trixie said as she turns to Daring. "Go down there and tell Moondancer to find all she can on mirror portals." "Right," Daring said running out of the room. "Now Starlight give use all the details you can remember about what materials the mirrors are made out of so we know what we need and then tell us all you can about making a mirror," Trixie said. "Yes, I will tell you all that I can remember," Starlight said.
