Chapter 1 A new beginning.

David's POV
'Come on! Where are you, where are you? No no no no.' I thought as I frantically searched the forest for Erick. After about an hour of searching, I saw a bright flash coming from my left, deeper in the forest. I then ran in the direction of the light, about two minutes later I saw him...and he changed just like I did. Had I not known who he was cosplaying as, I wouldn't have even recognized my own brother. Because what was lying on the ground in front of me was Nemesis. 'If my knowledge of him is correct, he won't be able to speak...Ok, if I'm actually David and have the Blacklight virus, then maybe I can...' As I was thinking of what I was going to do, I failed to notice my body reacting to my thoughts. So imagine my surprise when my arm suddenly becomes a bunch of tendrils, starts digging into my brothers head and creates some sort of hive mind between us as if by instinct.
Once it was done, I noticed that what I just did to his face immediately healed. Focusing on the hive mind, I reached out to my little brother’s mind and I saw what was left of it. "I-it's broken...his mind a-a-and memories...!" I say, barely able to hold back my tears. "...It's, it's all shattered and broken...I-i'm sorry Erick, I'm so so sorry!" I said, finally letting myself grieve for what's happened. Taking a few moments to let it out, I managed to calm down enough to make a decision. "I swear to you brother, I will do everything I can to fix what was broken, even if it costs me everything." I vowed, getting to work on his mind.
Castle of the two sisters
Celestia’s POV
I was out on the balcony of one of the towers. I was getting ready to lower the sun when I saw a bright flash within the Everfree Forest. I had gotten worried because of the strange magic it emitted, so I summoned the day guard to accompany me in investigating it. We then set off towards the origin of the light.
Everfree Forest
David's POV
It's only been about thirty minutes and yet I've already somehow repaired most of my brother's brain, with some help from his healing factor of course. 'By now he should have the mind of a toddler, I think.' I thought grimly. *sigh* “Let's hope I can fix you soon Erick...I wish this hadn’t happened to you." I said. After a few more minutes, he started to wake up. He opened his eye, sat up and looked around. Once he saw me, I could tell from our new hive mind link, that he remembers who I am.
"STARS!" He said.
I smiled at him and said "Hey little bro, it's good to see you." I walked up and gave him a small hug. He tensed up at first, likely not understanding the gesture. But after a few seconds he returned the action, we stayed like that for a few minutes before releasing each other. We both got up and I motioned for him to follow me, but before we could do anything, we both hear a voice speak to us in destain.
"Halt creatures!" A male voice yelled. My brother just looked up towards the voice while I turned around to face whoever just said that, then I did a double take.
'Wait what!?' I thought. Standing in front of me and my brother was an anthro unicorn, wearing some kind of guard armor. He pointed a spear at us, then noticed my "little" brother. Against his better judgment, the unicorn tried to attack him. I reacted like any normal big brother would, I went to protect him. I followed my new instincts, and what happened next is where it gets gory. Ok so first the guard goes to swing his spear, I grabbed it before it did anything. then I yanked it out of his hands and proceeded to quickly punch a hole in his chest, through the armor and everything. Then at the exact same time, my body started to consume him. I then felt pain shooting through my head. I then began to see them, his memories, Sundial's memories. Starting from birth, then through his foalhood. I saw when he joined the royal guard, and last but not least, his death. When the memories and pain finally stopped, I heard someone else scream.
"Commander Sundial!!!" Yelled a familiar voice. I look up to see the one most prominent in Sundial's memories, the pony from my favorite show back on Earth. "Princess Celestia?" I asked in shock.
Equestria Canterlot Gardens- present day
My thoughts were interrupted by a strange noise 'Huh? what was that?' I asked.
'No idea.' Erick answered. Before I could say anything else, something happened. *CRACK*
'What the?' *CRACK, CRACK* 'Well I'll be a-' Before I could finish, our statues glowed bright before exploding. I then fell face first on the ground.
"STAAARRSS!" My brother screeched. 'Come on David, we should go before the guards notice our statues are gone.' Erick said, both out loud and through the hive mind.
"Ok, alright I'm going, just give me a second." I said to him, I then proceeded to get up and stretch. "Alright let's go." I said.
3rd person POV
David and Erick ran off towards a small town a few miles away, called "Ponyville", if only they knew what was in store for them once they got there.
Equestria Ponyville David’s POV
Once we reached the town, I could already tell something was wrong. I then felt something familiar, it was small, almost unnoticeable, but it was there, the blacklight virus. I used my viral pulse to locate it, the pulse told me that the virus was in Twilight's castle (and if you haven't figured it out yet I was a brony before getting sent here). I proceeded towards one of the windows and peeked through the crack of the curtain, what I saw made my eyes widen in surprise. There in the dark and sitting in the mane 6’s thrones, were anthro pony like creatures. They had fangs, pure blue eyes, bug like wings and wearing Chitin armor.
'Oh man, of course we would be released on this episode…*sigh*...oh well. I guess we're going to help starlight and her friends save everyone.' I thought. Then I heard voices coming from somewhere around the castle, so I went around the corner. There I saw Starlight, Trixie, and Thorax talking to Discord about the changelings, so I Stepped in as Discord asked where they took Fluttershy and revealed me and my brother’s presence.
"They were taken to the Changeling hive." I said, walking up to them. All at once, they all turned their heads towards me and my brother.
"What the buck are you two!?" Trixie almost shouted in surprise, I just shrugged.
"That's what's left of my little brother, his name was Erick but he now goes by Nemesis. Me on the other hand, you can call me Blacklight. Now I know you must have questions, but right now we should focus on saving everypony from the changelings." I told them.
"Oh right, well we should-" Before Starlight could finish, she was cut off by a snap and a blinding flash of light. Suddenly we’re on the outskirts of the Changeling hive, like in the show. Then the others started to get on the topic of why their magic isn't working, so I decided to wait until they were done so we could start walking towards the hive.
