Fluttershy just remembered she neglected to tell Daimon and Ornstein about the Elements of Harmony so she turned to them and began to explain. After about 2 minutes Daimon and Ornstein knew what the Elements were and what they could do. Daimon was the most worried since his body was born from hate, in a way. But when both him and Ornstein heard that Fluttershy has to be their for them to work, that put them at ease. Spike however, was still worried.
“We still have to worry about the princess’s though!” Spike exclaimed. Everyone went back to being tense after Spike said that. That’s when Ornstein got another idea.
“Hey guys, I got an idea so you don’t have to be involved.” She said while kneeling and making a ‘come to me’ gesture. Everyone present kneeled down low and discussed their plan.
Twilight’s POV
~1 hour later~
I was back at Ponyville looking for Spike. I was worried he might have run away again or something worse. Gasp. What if those monsters caught him. I was at my limit and was about fly off to look for him before I heard him call me. “TWILIGHT!” I quickly turned around to see Spike and Fluttershy running towards me. I immediately ran at them and gave Spike a BIG hug.
“Spike! I was so worried. Where were you?” I asked after I put him back down. He took a couple seconds to collect himself before answering.
“I was just taking a walk to Zecora’s to calm down after our talk. I stayed there for awhile until I got this.” He said as he handed me a letter. I looked over it and was shocked it was from Celestia. I was also glad that she took my side and was actually coming here with Luna as well.
“What does it say?” Asked Fluttershy. I was going to answer until I remembered how she felt about this. I hoped that saying the princess’s agreed with me, she would understand.
“The princess Celestia and Luna are coming to help us deal with those monsters. Celestia also said to get the Elements ready.” I explained. I regretted calling them monsters in front of her but it was true. They may have not done anything yet, but with how easily they beat us, who knows what they can do? I looked into Fluttershy’s eyes and what I saw made me surprised.
I saw sadness but also acceptance. “Alright, I guess I can’t stop you if the Princess’s are coming” She said before I saw anger flash over her eye’s “but that doesn't mean i’ll help. If you guys want to go and start a fight, go ahead, but i’m not helping.” She said and started galloping back to her cottage. I was shocked and saddened at her rejection and even more shocked when Spike took of with her.
“Spike where are you going?” I asked as he ran past. He turned back while still running and shouted,
“To stay with the people with real kindness around here!” He then turned back and ran after Fluttershy. I wanted to follow but their was the sound of flapping near me. I turned and saw both Princesses chariots flying in. I quickly galloped over to meet them and hopefully find a way to solve this.

Back at Fluttershy’s cottage, She and Spike had just gotten back and were now talking with Zecora. “Alright, it’s done. Now we just have to make Sure Daimon and Ornstein are in position. Zecora smiled as she spoke.
“Is a good plan, made by Ornstein. I just hope that we, will get out sin clean.” She said and both dragon and pegasus nodded as they ran of into the forest. Unknown to them, a fast streak flew of from the tree’s to Ponyville after they left.
~Back by Ponyville~
Celestia and Luna had just gotten out of their Chariots and were trotting over to meet Twilight. “Hello Princess.” Twilight said while bowing.
“Rise, my little pony.” she said with a smile. Twilight quickly stood up before speaking.
“I was just talking to Fluttershy and Spike. Sadly Fluttershy isn’t joining us. We can’t use the Elements without her.” She explained to the Princess. Luna decided to add her opinion now.
“Though Pegasus friend has her reasons and we must respect them.” Luna said in a sincere voice. That made Twilight feel a little better. Celestia then spoke up again.
“That may be true, but we still need a backup plan in case these Monsters are planning something sinister.” She said, getting a nod from both Alicorn’s around her. Before they could keep talking, Rainbow Dash landed next to Twilight.
“Twilight, I saw Fluttershy. She was with Spike and Zecora and their helping those two monsters that attacked us. They were heading into the Everfree.” She said in a panic. This caused all three Alicorns to gasp in shock.
“We need to find them now.” Celestia said before flying off into the Everfree with Twilight and Luna close behind while Rainbow went to get everyone else.
~With Fluttershy, Zecora, and Spike~
All three of them were walking to where Daimon and Ornstein should be. Fluttershy then decided to review the plan. “Ok so we're supposed to make it look like Daimon and Ornstein escaped out of Equestria to everyone right?” She asked. Zecora and Spike nodded and kept walking until they heard flapping above them. They looked up and saw The princesses and Twilight flying above them. Spike gasped before turning to Zecora.
“You need to get Daimon and Ornstein quick or else the plan won't work.” He said. Zecora nodded before taking of into the forest. Spike was glad because he heard a thud before being engulfed in a lavender aura and Fluttershy in a golden aura. Both were turned around and were facing The princesses and Twilight.
“What are you two doing?” asked Celestia with a shocked expression on her face. Fluttershy was the first one to reply.
“Were protecting our friends.” She replied with a glare. Spike knew this wasn't part of the plan but it wouldn’t hurt it at all so he joined in.
“Yeah, we know what your going to do and we won’t let you.” He said with a glare of his own. All three Alicorns were shocked by what they said and their glare’s but recovered fast.
“You don’t understand. These beasts need to be contained before they do more harm. Twilight already told me what they did to all of you.” Celestia said with a stern stare. Spike and Fluttershy didn’t back down though.
“They were only defending themselves. Twilight and the others attacked them first and they tried to leave but you all still attacked them.” Spike said and Fluttershy gave an approving nod. Now Twilight stepped in.
“How would you know, you weren't even there.” She said while stepping closer.
“Fluttershy told me, since she and Zecora seem to be the only one’s sain around here.” He said which caused Twilight to gasp. This time luna stepped in.
“It doesn’t matter. Those creature’s are still incredibly dangerous and need to be dealt with.” the night Princess said.
“Now where is Zecora?” Twilight asked only to get a firmer glare from both Pegasus and Dragon.
“She’s with our new friends, and before you ask, were not telling you where?” Fluttershy said. Now Celestia was irritated and closed the distance with both of them.
“I am your Princess, now tell me where Zecora is!” She shouted but Spike and Fluttershy held their ground while Luna and Twilight were getting worried.
“Just because your the Princess doesn’t mean your always right.” Spike said firmly.
“Yeah, and if I was helping you what would you do to them if they put up any sign of threat?” The Pegasus asked with much more determination than usual. This stumped Celestia, so the Dragon and pegasus continued.
“You would have us use the Elements wouldn't you?” they both asked at the same time. Celestia looked up with a expressionless look.
“I would do what needs to be done.” She said in a darker voice. This made Spike and Fluttershy mad, but Twilight and Luna shocked. They didn’t say anything though.
“So you would just attack without good reason?” Fluttershy asked in shock and anger. This made Celestia get more upset and raise her voice more.
“I already have enough reason. Those two are dangerous and have already attacked my little ponies and according to their own reactions, could have killed them. Anything that dangerous needs to either be under control, or out of the picture.” Everyone was shocked at her outburst. Luna, now having enough, was going to speak until Fluttershy beat her to it.
“You aren’t acting like a Princess now Celestia. You aren’t acting kind or gentle. You are acting more like Daybreaker to me!” She shouted with much more gusto then she has used in a while. Twilight and Luna were shocked that she knew about Daybreaker at all, probably Starlight, but Celestia was just furious. To be compared to a tyrant like her alter ego has never happened to her, especially from one of her ponies. Her eyes flashed red and unable to contain her rage, unleashed a strong blast of magic that hit Fluttershy in the chest and sent her flying into a nearby tree and Spike, caught in the blast as well, into a boulder. There was an audible snap and Spike and Fluttershy screamed in pain.
“AAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!” they screamed as Fluttershy held her broken wing and Spike held his broken tail. Celestia immediately realized what she did and was horrified.
“I-I-I” She stammered for a few seconds before preparing to rush over to Fluttershy. Before she could there was a VERY, loud thud. All of them looked over to see Daimon with a look of shock and fear on his face with Ornstein and Zecora not far behind. When they saw Spike and Fluttershy they gasped in shock before looking at Celestia’s simmering horn. Zecora was beyond shock that Celestia would do this. Said Alicorn turned and saw Daimon, Ornstein, and Zecora standing their. She was about to attack until she saw their stares of fear and worry towards the pony and dragon she just attacked. She was brought out of her stupor when Daimon spoke.
“Did you do this?” He asked, still looking at Fluttershy. Said pegasus was shocked that they were their but worried at what they, especially, Daimon, might do. Celestia had gone from fear for her ponies, to fear of Daimon. Gathering her courage she answered.
“Y-y-yes, but it was an-.”
“SILENCE” He shouted as he turned to her with an enraged look on his face as his eyes turned red. Everyone, excluding Ornstein and Zecora who were to busy getting Spike and Fluttershy out of the way, were terrified of what was now happening.
Daimon’s Body was changing drastically. His already massive wings extended to their full length and grew about 2 feet on each side. His legs and arms grew a foot but kept all their muscle. His tail as well grew about 2 feet. He then started to float as the last change was made, and this one was the most terrifying of all. The eyes on his chest opened and as he extended his arms and legs to their full length, his chest morphed into something that looked like a Dragon but with a slight primate shape that made it all the more menacing and scary. The head in Daimon’s belly let out a terrifying roar as it took it’s form.
“RROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRR!” It’s roar ended as Daimon’s body now exposed it’s true shape completely. There was however one more terrifying trait about this Daimon. Their were misshapen horns jutting out of it’s collar bones and around the back of its head and the terrifying part was, his original head was lifeless. It just hung there like a dead limb. All the ponies, Zebra, and Golden knight then noticed the glowing, dark purple, slitted eyes of the dragon head glaring at Twilight and the Princesses before it spoke in a much more demonic voice.
“You fools have pushed me to far, now you have awakened the hatred in me. I am my other half’s hatred and anger taken form. You harmed the first person to show me kindness and one of my best and only friends. Well now you shall pay for your sins. Me and my other half are anger. We are hatred. AND I AM HIS AWAKENED FURY!”
