//------------------------------// // Prologue: The Lord of Light // Story: Light and Darkness // by FandomPlays1234 //------------------------------// It was just another day in ponyville and Starlight was out in the fields relaxing under the warm afternoon sun "Sweet Celestia, today can't get any better," she sighed. "It's so warm today," At that moment she felt a strange feeling inside of her. Almost if somepony had been watching. She raised her head and looked around. "Huh, must be my imagination," The feeling didn't go away but she just shrugged it off like it was nothing. "Hey Starlight!" a voice called out to her. She looked over to see Twilight walking over to her. She wore a huge smile on her face. "Hey Twilight can I help you with something?" asked Starlight. "Actually I was wondering if you were doing anything at the moment," replied Twilight. "No not really," said Starlight. "Oh great, I was wondering if you want to come with me to visit Flurry Heart in the Crystal Empire," said Twilight. "I'd love to!" exclaimed Starlight. Flurry Heart was always happy and was so excited to see Starlight and the rest of Twilight's friends. "But wait why now all of a sudden?" "I have to babysit Flurry while Cadence and my brother goes out tonight," answered Twilight. "Well that's understandable," said Starlight. "Yeah but we have to hurry or we'll miss the train," said Twilight. "Alright coming," said Starlight jumping to her feet. She walked over to Twilight and the two headed to the station. They would soon find out, that Equestria's end was near. Fox raised his blaster up to the sky as the rest of the Smash fighters gathered behind him. "Don't let a single one get away!" he exclaimed. Looking up, they could see the numerous Master Hands surrounding the large creature in the sky. It's large shining wings protecting the large orb of light in the center. "We'll each need to take down about ten," said Marth "Stow your fear, it's now or never!" exclaimed Zelda. "We'll win this, I know we will!" proclaimed Pit. As he made his proclamation, the army of Master Hands began to disintegrate and become energy and was absorbed by the creature. With his army of Master Hands under it's control, Galeem sought to create a new world. Shulk's eyes flashed as he saw the vision of their demise and reached to the other fighters to warn them. But before could speak even one word, Galeem blasted the fighters with countless streams of light. The fighters and their countless stories came to an end as the streams of light consumed them. Starting with Link, the fighters were fell victim to Galeem's attack. Some of the fighters like Samus, Bowser, and Pokemon Trainer attempted to fight back while others like the Inklings, Snake, and Captain Falcon attempted to hide or escape. All of them met the same fate. With all the fighters gone the only one remaining was Kirby who managed to escape on his Warp Star before a stream of light could swallow him. Although all the fighters were gone, Galeem didn't show any mercy to any of the other creatures living on earth and soon every living thing was consumed by light. Starlight gasped as she quickly turned around. She had that feeling again this time it was much stronger almost as if something inside was screaming at her. "Starlight is everything ok?" asked Twilight. She turned around again. Twilight, Cadence, and Shining Armor were looking at her. "Um what?" asked Starlight. "I said is everything alright, you look like you've seen a ghost," Twilight repeated. She couldn't tell them. But something inside of her was yelling at her to tell them. "Um can I talk to you guys in private for a sec?" asked Starlight. "Yeah sure, we have sometime," said Cadence. Starlight pulled Cadence, Shining Armor, and Twilight off to the side while she left Spike to care for Flurry Heart. "So what seems to be the problem?" asked Shining Armor. "So I wasn't planning on telling you this because I didn't want you to worry but, earlier today I've had this strange feeling inside of me," explained Starlight. "Ok?" asked Cadence. "Well here's the thing, something inside has been screaming at me, like it's giving a warning," Starlight continued. "Warning you about what?" asked Twilight. Starlight looked at the three with a worried expression on her face. "The end of Equestria," Starlight answered. The room fell silent. But the silence was broken when Twilight started to laugh. "Heh wow Starlight I didn't think you'd be so good at telling jokes," She looked at Starlight who was shooting her a look of pure fear. "You're joking right?" asked Twilight. She didn't answer. The smile melted off of her face. "No," said Twilight. "I don't want to have to admit it either," said Starlight. But before anybody else could say anything, the door burst open as two guards ran in with a panicked look on their face. "Princess!" the guard's called out. "What is it, what's going on?" Cadence asked confused. "You have to come see this," said the guards. Cadence and Shining Armor ran out with Twilight and Starlight following behind them. They ran out to see the entire empire in ruins. "What happened here!?" gasped Cadence. "It's those things!" exclaimed one of the guards pointing up. They all looked up to see numerous streams of light zipping through the air. "What are those!?" asked Twilight. Suddenly several streams of light came zooming down to where they were. The crystal ponies yelped as they ran around screaming. Until one of the streams came in and absorbed the pony causing it to disintegrate. "What the!?" yelped one of the guards. Before anybody could react more streams came down and absorbed the ponies one by one. "What are you doing go help them!" Shining ordered. "But Captain Armor those things are.." the guards statement was cut off when a stream of light came in and absorbed the guard. "Ack, we can't stay here!" Cadence yelped. "You two I need your help gathering the..." "Cadence look out!" Shining cried out. Cadence turned around to see a stream of light coming towards her. Shining tackled her and knocked her out of the way as the stream of light swooped in and absorbed him. "No!!!!" Cadence cried out. "Your majesty we can't stay here it's too..." another stream of light came in and absorbed the guard. "Twilight we have to go back inside!" said Starlight. She looked over to see Twilight's eyes open wide. Tears were rolling down her cheek. "Twilight snap out of it!" Starlight yelled. Starlight jumped to the sound of screams coming from behind her. She turned and watched as more ponies were absorbed by light. "Princess Cadence what do we do?" asked Starlight. "We can't stay here, we have to go back inside," said Cadence. "Got it," said Starlight. She followed Cadence and stopped short. She turned to see Twilight standing there. "Twilight come on!" Starlight called out. She didn't move. "Twilight!!!" Starlight called out to her again. This time she slowly turned around and looked at Starlight with tears in her eyes. "Why?" she whimpered. Suddenly a stream of light came in and absorbed Twilight. "NO!" Starlight screamed. She felt a tug behind her as Cadence grabbed her and ran back in. "No let me go!" Starlight screamed thrashing violently. "You can't stay there it's too dangerous!" Cadence exclaimed. She ran back into the throne room where Spike and Flurry Heart were waiting. "There you are, what's going on?" asked Spike. Cadence put down Starlight and closed the doors. "Starlight listen to me, I know you may not like what I'm about to do, but you can't stay here," said Cadence. "Wait what?" asked Starlight. Cadence used her magic to blow a hole in the wall. "Can somebody tell me what's going on?" asked Spike. Cadence picked up Starlight with her magic and created a magic orb around her. Starlight's eyes widened when she realized what Cadence was about to do. "No, Cadence no!" Starlight cried out. "Listen Starlight, we don't have much time, whatever these things are we can't fight them," said Cadence. "What about Flurry Heart?" asked Starlight. "As much as I want to send her with you I don't want to have to die without seeing her for the last time," said Cadence. "What kind of reasoning is that!?" Starlight yelled. "I'm sorry goodbye," said Cadence. "NO!!!!" Starlight yelled. A tear rolled down her face as she blasted the orb containing Starlight with her magic. The orb flew out of the castle and the last thing she saw was three streams of light flying in through the hole. Starlight closed her eyes as tears rolled down her face. "I'll come back for you," Starlight whimpered. The orb flew off into the horizon. As light consumed the entire world.
