//------------------------------// // The Element Of Peace And Patience // Story: Friendship Vs Evil // by BodhiBRO100 //------------------------------// The hologram plays, showing everything that was shown before, which leaves the Mane Six and Spike, in shock. "What the hay is this all about?!" Applejack asked, in a fearful tone. Celestia puts her head down. "The terrible future.." she said disappointingly. Twilight looks at the hologram, in a gazed trance, and suddenly, she looks around her, imagining herself inside the vision, as everypony in the room disappears, and she appears in a more demonic version of the Castle of Friendship. "Wha...What's going on?" Twilight asked herself. "Where am I?" A loud thunderclap is heard, which makes Twilight jump and yelp, in surprise. She takes a good look around her, and realizes where she is. "Wait, this looks like the Castle of Friendship. But..it's different colors." she said. But before she could make out what's wrong with the Castle, it disappears around her, and she falls into complete blackness. Twi starts screaming, until a few seconds later, she hits a hard surface, unexpectedly. "Oof!" she said, looking up, at the same green eyes that were in the hologram, staring down at her. "You will be eradicated, by my hooves, young Princess. It's only a matter of time.." the gravelly voice belonging to the green eyes, said to a scared Twilight. The purple mare gets up, and tries to run away from the green eyes, hearing his cackling fade as she gets farther away, but gets stopped by a spotlight, which showed herself, punching Death Wish, slowly and repeatedly. Twilight gasps. "Is that me?" she asked herself. Death Wish is heard grunting, from Twi's punches, but grins and coughs. "One more...!" he encouraged her. Twilight covers her mouth in shock, as she heard a final blow towards Death Wish. Small tears stream down both her eyes. "No..no, I'm not a killer!" Twilight exclaimed, as she looks away, only to appear in another scene, where she, and the Mane Five, in their Rainbow Power form, blasting something that isn't shown , which leaves Twilight confused. "Equestria will be gone, you'll see!" a graspy voice said, which Twi heard. Another voice is then heard, this time a British mare's voice. "My old friends, I missed you all!" Twilight then sees what looked like Tempest Shadow, jumping in front of Twi, to save her from a magical blast, that came from somepony unknown. "NO!" Tempest said, which made Twi cover her mouth again. "You must stop him, Twilight, before he stops you." Webber's voice said, faintly. "Webber?" Twi asked. Then finally, she appears in a darkroom, with a spotlight, shining on what looked like a gold amulet, with a symbol of a pair of blue hooves inside of a pink heart, on the center, sitting on a pedestal. "What is that?" Twilight asked herself, as she slowly walked toward the amulet. "Looks like another...Element? Of what?" Twilight stands in front of the mysterious amulet, in much curiosity, until a faint echo of Applejack's voice is heard. "Twilight?" Applejack asked. Then, Pinkie Pie's voice is heard. "Twilight, what's wrong with you? Why are you looking down at the floor?" she asked. Twilight hears their voices, which makes her look up, and a white flash hits her, and she appears back in the Canderlot castle, with the Mane Five, Princess Celestia, Tempest, and Grubber, on the floor, in shock. The Mane Five look at Twilight worryingly. "Twi, you okay?" Rainbow Dash asked the scared, purple mare. In Twi's first pony perspective, she looks at her worried friends, and suddenly gets scared tears in her eyes. "What was that?" she asked, emotionally. "What was what, dear?" Rarity replied, curiously. "And why are you sobbing so terribly much?" "I...I saw so much horror, somehow, I found myself inside that vision in that hologram." Twilight said. "After seeing so much, I finally saw what appeared to be another...Element." The Mane Five looked at their crying friend, in shock. "Another Element?" they asked in unison. Celestia sighed. "I thought somepony would see that, Twilight, but I didn't think you'd be the one to see it first hoof." she said. Twilight stood up, and wiped her tears away with a tissue from out of nowhere. "Princess Celestia, what was that thing?" she asked curiously. Celestia turns the hologram back on, and shows the same amulet that Twilight saw in the vision. "The Element Of Peace And Patience, the 7th, ego element, that existed since me and Luna became the rulers of Equestria, and was cast away after Nightmare Moon's banishment." she explained. "For whatever reason, Princess Celestia?" Rarity asked. Celestia hesitated. "To...keep it safe...f.from...." she stopped. "...from Equestria itself." she managed to finish. Applejack raised an eyebrow. "What is it about that Element that makes it so dangerous to Equestria?" she asked curiously. "It is the only Element ever, to have become very...unstable, for nopony except for the right one, to wield it." Celestia then explained. "And who could be the right one of wield that thing?" Tempest asked, until she notices that her cutie mark pulsates and her broken horn lights up brightly. The Mane Six, Celestia, Grubber, and even Tempest Shadow, look in shock, as this happens to the dark red unicorn. "Y...You are the right one to wield it!" Twilight exclaimed. Tempest looked at her friends. "Not only did my cutie mark light up, but so did my horn." she said. "I thought this only happens when a friendship problem arises." "Not when your horn starts lighting up as well, Fizzlepop." Celestia said. "The Element Of Peace And Patience calls to you!" Tempest looks at Celestia, in abit of fear. "I...Celestia, I...I don't think I can handle such a responsibility." she hesitated. Celestia came up to Tempest and patted her shoulder. "It's not all about responsibility with this Element. Just like in its name, you got to have patience in order to bring peace." she said, smiling. "Hmm, I think I understand that." Tempest replied. "You'll get used to it after a while." Twilight said. "But Princess Celestia, all those visions I've seen, will...will they actually happen?" she asked. Celestia nodded. "Unfortunately, yes. It's essential, Twilight." she replied. "But...But that means...Applejack's big brother will turn himself into a monster, just to be more than he is now..." Twilight started explaining worryingly. Applejack's eyes widened. "Say what, now?" she said confusingly. "...Webber will go feral..." Twilight kept going. Rainbow Dash looked at her friend with an eyebrow raised. "Feral?" she asked. "...this so called Dark Lord will hunt me down..." Twilight kept going. Rarity covered her mouth in shock. "Oh dear." she said in fear. "...Tempest will save me from his grasp..." Twilight kept going, now starting to panic. Tempest raised an eyebrow like Rainbow. "What?" she said. Twilight finishes and asks. "...and I will...KILL that Death Wish fellow we saw a while ago? I'm not a killer!" she then exclaimed. Celestia sighed. "That last bit will depend upon your anger and revenge." she explained. "Revenge for what?" Twi asked. "I won't say till it happens. You need to experience these events for yourselves." Celestia said and looked at everypony in the room, including Grubber. "All of you will have to, with no choice. This is an essential and likely vision to become true." Grubber looked at Celestia, shaking his head, after he just stared off in space. "Huh, what? I wasn't listening." he said, blushing embarrassingly. "But.. But Princess Celestia..." Twilight started. "No buts, Twilight." Celestia interrupted. "I wish there was another way too, but this Element and all these events in the future, cannot be reversed." Twilight sighs disappointingly. "We'll get through this, everypony. I'm sure of it." she said. Tempest lowered her head, and talked in her mind. "I doubt you, Twilight. I really don't believe this." Rainbow Dash intervened. "Umm, quick question, to pass these desperate measures: Where do you think Webber and his brother went?" she asked. Celestia used telekinesis, and found Webber. "Everfree Forest." she said. "I'll go get him." Twilight said, leaving the castle. Meanwhile, Webber is seen walking through the Everfree Forest, with his head down, sadly.
