The Return of Daybreaker

by Twilight Star


On the way to the castle of the two sisters

Sunset Shimmer and the others were already inside the forest and they were on a cliff.

 “Have the ponies that came to this forest managed to survive and come back?” asked Sunset Shimmer.

 “No pony knows”, said Indigo Zap frighteningly.

Indigo Zap approached Lemon Zest, Sour Sweet and Sunny Flare slowly as if to attack, “because every pony that enters this forest ...”

 “Indigo, stop it”, said Sugarcoat not liking what Indigo Zap was doing.

 “... Never goes out alive again!” shouted Indigo Zap the last word.

Suddenly, the ground on the six ponies were broken and all fell, except Indigo Zap and Sour Sweet that were pegasus.

“Sour Sweet, let’s save our friends”, said Indigo Zap before departing for ransom.

“Oh my God”, said Sour Sweet before going to save her friends.

Indigo Zap saved Lemon Zest and Sour Sweet saved Sunny Flare. But Sugarcoat and Sunset Shimmer continued to fall.

Sugarcoat managed to save herself by holding a branch with her mouth, but Sunset Shimmer continued to fall until she was able to hold herself close to the great cliff that went straight to the ground.

Sugarcoat saw that her friend was in danger, released the branch and held Sunset Shimmer in her hooves, “hang in there”, said Sugarcoat.

 “Sugarcoat, what do I do?” asked Sunset Shimmer desperately.

Sugarcoat had an idea, “let go”, said Sugarcoat.

 “Are you crazy?!” exclaimed Sunset Shimmer.

“It’s not crazy, you’ll be fine”, said Sugarcoat.

 “That’s not true”, said Sunset Shimmer.

 “Look, what I’m saying is the most honest truth, let it go, you’ll be fine”, said Sugarcoat.

Sunset Shimmer hesitated for a moment before releasing and starting to fall. Sunset Shimmer screamed, until she felt herself being held by Sour Sweet and Indigo Zap.


Sunset Shimmer and the others were walking quietly until a manticore appeared and roared, “a manticore!” exclaimed Sunset Shimmer. “We have to go through it!”

The manticore went to Sunny Flare to attack her, but Sunny Flare defended herself by hitting the manticore with her hind legs, “take that monster!” exclaimed Sunny Flare confidently.

Suddenly, the manticore roared to Sunny Flare , resulting in her mane getting all messed up, “my hair!” exclaimed Sunny Flare before running away.

“Wait”, tried to say Sour Sweet.

The manticore went behind Lemon Zest before stopping to see Sugarcoat on top of it, the manticore was stirring long before it ended up throwing Sugarcoat away, “it’s with you, Indigo”, said Sugarcoat before falling to the ground.

 “Okay”, said Indigo Zap before forming a swirl of indigo around the manticore.

 “Wait”, tried to say Sour Sweet.

 It seemed to be working for a moment, but the manticore used her tail to Indigo Zap to stop and fall to the ground, “Indigo!” exclaimed Sunset Shimmer.

Sunset Shimmer looked at Indigo Zap before looking at the manticora angry. All five ponies were heading toward the manticore until they were stopped by Sour Sweet, “wait!” exclaimed Sour Sweet loudly to stop them.

The five stopped and Sour Sweet went to the manticore. The manticore seeing Sour Sweet, decided to attack her, but Sour Sweet prevented, “It’s okay”, said Sour Sweet sweetly.

The manticore looked sadly at her paw before showing Sour Sweet a thorn in the paw, “oh, poor little baby”, said Sour Sweet.

“Little baby?” asked Indigo Zap.

 “Now it’s going to hurt just a little bit”, said Sour Sweet before pulling the thorn out of his paw, resulting in the manticore picking up Sour Sweet as it roared.

 “Sour Sweet!” exclaimed the five mares.

But the manticore didn’t attack Sour Sweet, just licked the mane of Sour Sweet.

They all saw that Sour Sweet was fine and they passed the manticore with smiles on their faces. Sunset Shimmer waited for Sour Sweet, “how did you know the manticore was with a thorn?” asked Sunset Shimmer confused.

“I didn’t know,” replied Sour Sweet. “Sometimes we need to show some kindness”

Sunset Shimmer thought for a moment before smiling and continuing to walk.


Sunset Shimmer and the others were in a part of the forest with enough trees, and as it was day, it was very clear.

“I think I stepped on something”, said Sugarcoat looking at her muddy hull.

Sour Sweet suddenly screamed.

“It’s just mud”, said Sugarcoat not understanding why Sour Sweet screamed.

Sugarcoat looked at the tree in front of her and saw that it was on fire, she jumped away.

Suddenly all the trees were on fire, and all five of them screamed in alarm, but they stopped when they heard Lemon Zest laughing near a burning tree.

 “Lemon Zest, what are you doing?” asked Sunset Shimmer. “Run!”

“Oh, girls, don’t you see?” said Lemon Zest.

 ”When I was just a little filly, and the moon was setting ...” began to sing Lemon Zest.

 “Don’t tell me she’s ...” tried to say Sunset Shimmer but had been interrupted by Lemon Zest.

 ”The heat and the flames always frightened me”, sang Lemon Zest.

 “She’s crazy”, said Sunny Flare.

 ”So I hid myself, thinking I’d be safe like this”, sang Lemon Zest.

 “But what is it?” asked Indigo Zap confused by what was happening.

 ”But then my mother came and said,”Lemon, you have to face your fears and so nothing will scare you”, sang Lemon Zest before approaching a burning tree and begin to laugh, resulting in the flames that were in the tree disappear.

 “Oh!” exclaimed all five except Sunny Flare.

 ”So ...” sang Lemon Zest again.

The five ponies began to laugh at the trees, and flames, resulting in the trees returning to normal, while Lemon Zest continued to sing, ”laugh at the flames, the fire too, nothing scares you, you feel good, if you come a fire, and he thinks it’s going to make you afraid, make him make you laugh”

All six ponies fell to the ground as they laughed cheerfully.


They all left where they were and saw a lake with continuous waves, “how are we going to cross the river like this?” asked Lemon Zest.

Suddenly they heard a sound of weeping, they followed the sound of weeping and saw a purple sea serpent, “excuse me, but why are you crying?” asked Sunset Shimmer.

 “Well, it was that I was quiet with my life, until ‘zup’ something cut my mustache, what horror!” exclaimed the snake.

But the snake accidentally wetted the six ponies with water, “ah, give me some time”, said Indigo Zap dry.

 “Yeah”, agreed Sugarcoat. “It’s just a mustache”

 “Just a mustache?” asked Sunny Flare. “Frankly, you have no heart”

Sunny Flare approached the snake, “calm, calm, it’s a complicated situation”, said Sunny Flare to the snake.

 “Look what beautiful hair you have”, praised Sunny Flare with a smile.

 “Yes, it is”, said the snake happily as he stroked his hair.

 “And what beautiful scales you have”, praised Sunny Falre.

 “Yes, it is”, said the serpent happily.

 “And it’s all spoiled by your pretty mustache”, said Sunny Flare.

 “Yes!” exclaimed the snake.

 “If there’s one thing I don’t allow, it’s injustice to fashion!” exclaimed Sunny Flare before plucking a scale of the snake with her mouth.

 “Ouch!” exclaimed the serpent. “Why did you do that?”

“Sunny Flare, what are you ...” but Sunset Shimmer didn’t have time to finish what she was going to say because what Sunny Flare did next shocked her.

 “Ooh, my mustache ...” said the snake.

Sunny Flare threw the scale away and took the piece of the tail that was on the ground in its magic and placed where the snake’s mustache was plucking.

 “My mustache ?!” exclaimed the happy snake. “Thank you!”

 “It’s a pleasure”, said Sunny Flare with a smile.

 “Oh, Sunny Flare”, said Sunset Shimmer approaching Sunny Flare. “Your Tail”

 “No problem, it soon grows again”, said Sunny Flare. “It’s additionally short tails are fashionable”

Sunset Shimmer smiled at Sunny Flare before looked at the river and saw that it was shallow, “look, we can move on now”, Sunset Shimmer walked on the river.

Suddenly, Sunset Shimmer felt a tremor beneath her, “upon me, please", said the snake.


 “The castle of the two sisters!” exclaimed Sunset Shimmer cheerfully. “We did it”, Sunset Shimmer ran, and so did her friends.

 “Sunset, wait”, said Sugarcoat.

“We’re almost there!” exclaimed Sunset Shimmer cheerfully.

But Sunset Shimmer didn’t see that she was almost going to fall on the broken bridge, she almost lost her balance until Indigo Zap pushed Sunset Shimmer away from the bridge, “if I didn’t push you, you would have fallen”, said Indigo Zap.

The six mares looked at the broken bridge, “how are we going to cross now?” asked Lemon Zest.

 “Dãh”, said Indigo Zap showing off her wings.

Indigo Zap took the part of the rope from the bridge and went to the other side of the bridge to tie it, “Indigo ...” said a voice.

 “Who said that?” asked Indigo Zap now wondering who called her.

 “I know you’re there!” exclaimed Indigo Zap boldly. “Show yourself!”

 “Why, but we were looking for you”, said the mysterious voice again.

 “Me?” asked Indigo Zap.

 “Why, you, of course”, said the mysterious voice.

 “Me?” asked Indigo Zap again. “Oh, yes! Me!”

 “Hey, do you have any posts reserved for the shadowbolts?” asked Indigo Zap happily. “You know, I always wanted to join them”

“No, Indigo, we aren’t the shadowbolts, we are ...” a group of three pegasus with light blue uniform appeared, “... The wonderbolts!”

 “We are the custodians of Everfree Florest and we are in need of a captain and we choose you”, said the wonderbolts captain.

Indigo Zap was excited about this.

“The most fearless”, said the wonderbolts captain.

 “Yes”, agreed Indigo Zap.

 “The bravest”, said the wonderbolts captain.

“Yes”, agreed Indigo Zap.

 “The boldest”, said the wonderbolts captain.

 “Yes”, agreed Indigo Zap.

 “We need ...” The captain paused before speaking into Indigo Zap’s ear, “... You”

Indigo Zap leapt into the air, “UHU!” exclaimed Indigo Zap. “I’m in!”

Indigo Zap approached the bridge to continue what she was doing, “just let me tie it up here, and then we’ll have a deal”

The captain of the wonderbolts went to Indigo Zap, “no!” exclaimed the captain. “It’s them or us!”

Indigo Zap seemed uncertain for a moment, until she heard the voice of Sunset Shimmer, “Indigo!”

 “Why are you taking so long?” asked Sunset Shimmer.

Sunset Shimmer saw that Indigo Zap was with a group of three pegasus in blue uniforms, “oh no,” said Sunset Shimmer. “Indigo!”

The wonderbolts captain heard the voice of Sunset Shimmer and made a fog so that Indigo Zap didn’t hear Sunset Shimmer, “don’t listen to her”, said Sunset Shimmer.

Indigo Zap thought for a moment about what she should do.

 “Well?” asked the wonderbolts captain.

 “You”, replied Indigo Zap.

The captain of the wonderbolts was happy, until Indigo Zap said, “but thank you for the offer”

Indigo Zap tied the rope of the bridge before flying and go to her friends, “but, i have to say no”

The three pegasus turned flames and disappeared from sight.

Indigo Zap came to the other side as her friends crossed the bridge.

 “I would never leave my friends hanging”, say Indigo Zap to Sunset Shimmer.

In response, Sunset Shimmer smiled.
