In the town of Baltimore, Maryland, there was a kid named Kyle who was living with his Aunt Paulista, Uncle Vincent, and cousin Brent while both his parents, Gerald and Ashley were working in Europe for their business work due to a conference call from a multimillion dollar insurance company they work at. Kyle’s parents said that they would be back to check on him when they get the chance.

But when they left, Kyle’s aunt and uncle, and his cousin Brent started treating him badly. They made him work around the house so that he can be treated fairly, but every time he does something that he can, poor Kyle suddenly ends up bullied by his cousin, and yelled by his aunt and uncle. Sometimes, his cousin would beat him physically, his aunt Paulista and uncle Vincent would send him to his room without any meals for the rest of the day. That has been going on for 3 months. When his sixth birthday came, his parents sent him some birthday presents, but Brent took them for his own. And all he did get for his birthday was to clean the entire house. He wasn’t really all that happy when he was living there. He even wanted to go outside and make some friends, but they wouldn’t let him. They also didn’t allow him to go to school at all, which made him more sadder.

One night, while taking out the trash, and before heading back inside, an unmarked black van pulled up near him, and a thug grabbed him and pulled him in, then they drove off, far away from his current location.

Kyle was whimpering until he found himself sitting on the lap of the woman in charge, who looked like she was in her early 30’s. She had scarlet red hair, blood red lips, and she wore a charcoal gray zip up sweatshirt over a punk black dress with zippers and grommets, showing off her chest, black fingerless gloves over linen arm sleeves, and ankle high black leather gothic styled cowgirl boots.

Hours have passed and Kyle was still upset to be far away from his home, and family, but he loved his parents more before they died, while he was sleeping on the woman’s lap. He has been taken to their hut in a swamp. Suddenly, Kyle had been brought inside and was sat down on the sofa next to the woman, Miss Victoria “Snake Eyes” Evergreen. She leaned him over to her and then made him a persuasive bargain for his freedom: her getting a baseball diamond that she stole from a museum, and suddenly lost it in that same swamp in a different corner of it. She thought volunteering someone small enough to reach it would do, which was why they kidnapped Kyle.

Kyle didn’t have a choice, so he accepted the offer.

Later on, as the sun went down, she and her men took him to the cave entrance, and then as Kyle was nervously shaken, Mrs. Evergreen looked down at him, and forcefully, but nicely said, “Alright, Kyle. You have 1 hour and 55 minutes until the tide of this part of the swamp comes in. So remember, bring me the diamond before then, and I’ll think and consider about letting you go.”

Kyle was still worried that he may not be able to go back to his neighborhood. But he was suddenly shoved in and he looked back. Victoria motioned for Kyle to go in. He got out the flashlight that was given to him, and it lit up the cave, until it suddenly showed a few bats flying out. The cave floor was cold and wet for him to get a clear view of where to find the diamond. He looked around for the diamond, but he couldn’t find it.

Suddenly, he began coughing, because he got really sick, from the amount of meals he was given by his aunt and uncle.

“Are you okay down there?!” Mrs. Evergreen asked.

“I’m feeling really sick!” Kyle replied weakly, until he began coughing again.

“Don’t hold up! I still need the diamond!” Mrs. Evergreen said.

Kyle kept looking around for any sign, but he suddenly saw a greenish blue glow from the rock wall, and it showed a stone sculpture. He then realized he found what he was looking for, so he called out, “I found it!”

“Can you pull it out?!” Mrs. Evergreen asked.

He then attempted to pull it out, but it wasn’t coming out. “It’s stuck!”

“Stuck?!” Mrs. Evergreen asked. “Are you using both hands?!”

Kyle put the flashlight down and then dug both hands into where he felt the diamond. He then started tugging on it, and then as he felt the diamond loosening, he eventually got it.

He then picked up the flashlight and said, “I got it! I got it!”

“Nice work, sweetie!” Mrs. Evergreen said. “Now, bring it out here.” As he began walking out, he continued coughing as he was still sick. Suddenly, water started coming and rocks were tumbling, as the whole place began to cave in, “Oh no!”

“Well, don’t just stand there! Run!” Mrs. Evergreen said.

Kyle held the diamond tight, and rushed towards the exit, trying to get out of the cave. As he reached towards the way out, he pulled the diamond closer to his chest with his left hand, and started coughing again, and was now getting weaker before he made it out alive and reached his hand out, which Mrs. Evergreen grabbed, and pulled him out.

“Are you okay?” Mrs. Evergreen asked, which Kyle nodded in reply, until they all heard police sirens from far away before they could escape.

It wasn’t really helping. He needed some rest if he wanted to get better. But it wasn’t enough to help.

Then some police cars with sirens came up towards the road near by and stopped. The cops came out of their cars, and pointed their guns at both Mrs. Evergreen and her men, “Freeze! Don’t move! Victoria “Snake Eyes” Evergreen, you’re under arrest. For charges of kidnapping, theft, and trespassing on public property.”

“Shoot,” Mrs. Evergreen said. Two cops came down and then put Mrs. Evergreen’s arms behind her back, handcuffed her wrists, and put her in the van with her henchmen.

While the vehicles were driving the crooks off to prison and dropped Kyle off, he could barely stand up as he started walking back into the house before realizing he still had the diamond, so he decided to find out what to do with it, but he still felt really sick.

As he was laying on the floor in the house all alone, he heard the door open, and there was Kyle’s parents. When they saw him, they were shockingly surprised at the current state he was in.

“Kyle?” his mom asked. “What has happened to you?”

“M-Mommy...?” Kyle asked, sickly.

Kyle’s parents rushed towards him, and hugged him tightly with his head on his mother’s chest. Kyle’s father then asked, “How could this have happened to you, son? Who did this?”

Kyle looked at his father and weakly said, “Aunt Paulista and Uncle Vincent... they... made me... their... slave...”

“Slave?!” Kyle’s parents angrily asked in unison.

“My own sister? Including my own brother-in-law?” Kyle’s mom asked. “How dare they do this to my son?” She then got out her cell phone, and called her sister while his dad held him still.

”Oh, hello, Ashley,” came the voice of Paulista. ”How have you been doing in Europe?”

“Oh, I’m doing fine,” said Kyle’s mom, while hiding the fact that she’s really angry. “I actually have a quick question for you and your husband. How is Kyle? Is he getting enough nutrition? Seeing his friends? Is he healthy?”

”Oh, yes,” said Paulista through the phone. ”Right now, my husband and I are watching him at the park. He’s having a lot of fun with his friends.”

“Huh. Well that’s funny," said Kyle’s mom, starting to get angry right now. “Because actually, as of right now, my husband and I are already at your house, and it looks like Kyle’s here all by himself, and he looks really sick. Care to explain that?”

”WHAT?!” Paulista exclaimed nervously through the phone. ”You’re back in the states already?! Okay, listen...”

“No, you listen!” Kyle’s mom snapped at her. “You treated our own son like a slave, and clean up your house, when he’s sick and alone without a babysitter. You said that you would take good care of him while we were away. But it would seem that you’ve all lied to the both of us.” She then looked at Kyle and asked, “Did you receive the gifts we sent you?”

“Aunt Paulista and Uncle Vincent took them and the toys I had, and gave them to Brent for him to keep forever,” said Kyle, still feeling very sick. He then started coughing harshly.

Kyle’s mom then spoke into the phone, saying, “That’s it. You two are never going to be trusted again. I’ll be alerting the police about your behaviors to my son.”

After explaining everything the police about what happened, Kyle’s dad picked Kyle up, and they headed from out of the house and into their car with Kyle in the front seat instead of the back held by his mom and wrapped in her arms and his head laid against her chest. They took Kyle to the nearest hospital and the doctors and nurses took Kyle, until he was put into a emergency hospital room.

After waiting a few minutes, the doctor came out with a full report, before they both stood up, “How is he?”

The doctor said, “It would seem that all of the medical records on Kyle were destroyed.”

“What?” Kyle’s mom asked. “Now they destroyed my son’s medical records, too?! And we didn’t even know it!”

“But, I’m afraid that it won’t be enough to save Kyle,” said the doctor. “His sickness is so severe... he would’ve been lucky to survive the night. I’m afraid that the bad news is his condition… it appears to be a… terminal illness, meaning that it’s completely fatal. You’re gonna have to go say goodbye before it’s too late, but take your time.”

That made the parents sad. Kyle’s mom had tears coming out of her eyes. Kyle’s father then said, “We should’ve taken him with us instead of leaving him with your sister and her family.”

“I agree,” said Kyle’s mom. She then leaned towards Kevin on the bed, kissed him on the forehead and said, “I am so sorry, Kyle. I wish I knew what they were doing to you sooner.”

“M-Mommy...” Kyle said, weakly.

“Don’t speak, Kyle," said Kyle’s mother. “I’ll always love you,” She then took Kyle’s hand and put it on her chest to where her heart was and said, “In here.”

Kyle was sad to know that he was dying, but he was happy knowing that he got to see his parents one last time.

Just then, his heart started beating slower and slower as he made one last breath of air. But then his heart stopped with a long, never-ending beep on the heart monitor. Kyle’s parents were sad to see that their son has officially passed away. The doctor looked at the clock, and written something on a note, “Time of death: 8:02 PM.”

When the room was empty, the diamond that he still had, which was featured like a evil eyeball, started glowing a bluish purple magical cloud, before it enveloped his entire body and it suddenly disappeared while the moon twinkled in the sky.





Meanwhile, in the land of Equestria, in the small town of Ponyville, there was a unicorn mare named Twilight Sparkle. She had pale light grayish purple fur, dark sapphire blue mane and tail with moderate purple and brilliant rose pink streaks, moderate purple eyes, and each flank had a symbol of a pink star surrounded by smaller white stars.

She was in the park gazing at the stars before heading home, and had a book of constellations for her to check out each of them shown.

Suddenly, she remembered to have forgotten something. “I must’ve left one of my books somewhere by accident,” she said, walking around the park to find her missing book. She lit up her horn to help her find it, but suddenly, she found herself near the Everfree Forest, a scary forbidden place, and where monsters and other creatures roam the forest. She remembered using the forest with her friends to find the Elements of Harmony to defeat Nightmare Moon and save Equestria.

Suddenly, Twilight eventually found the book she was looking for. Twilight then placed it into one of her saddlebags she had strapped around her, and said, “Perfect. Now to get on back home and…” Twilight was about to head out of there, but she suddenly saw a secret passage underneath a few bushes, revealing a tunnel leading to somewhere, “Huh… I wonder where this leads.”

Twilight was standing a little bit too close to the tunnel, until it had a bit of a sloping feature to it. Twilight eventually slipped and she was sliding down the hall, screaming all the way there.

”AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!!!!“

She eventually made it towards the end and tunnel, which lead her in the middle of the Everfree Forest and next to the Castle of the Two Sisters.

“Wh-Wh-Where am I?” Twilight asked, lighting up her horn. She was worried at the moment, as she looked around for some safer way back to Ponyville, until she saw some crystals and rocks forming a small stone-hedge, and some vines covered with a bunch of baby blue and purple flowers, which started to bloom and glow in the dark underneath the light of the full moon. “Wow… it’s… it’s beautiful,” she said, as she eventually took a look at the stone-hedge in front of her and walked over to it carefully. She suddenly saw something glowing underneath the ground, until she gently dug out the light with her hoof, before finding a greenish blue orb shaped like an eyeball and glowing with a bluish purple lunar aura.

When she placed her hoof onto it, she suddenly saw it glowing again, but it released a dark gloomy fog around her, as Twilight gasped in shock and horror when she saw a ghostly and spiritual figure resembling the same villain she and her friends defeated with the Elements of Harmony: Nightmare Moon.

“NIGHTMARE MOON?!” Twilight asked in shock.

“That’s right, Twilight Sparkle!” the ghost of Nightmare Moon said. “You fell into my trap! Tonight, I shall retake Equestria… in a new body for my own!”

“You’ll never take my body, or any of my friends’ bodies,” Twilight said. “We defeated you once, and we’ll defeat you again.”

“Who says I’ll be taking over a body, my dear?” Nightmare Moon’s ghost asked, giving a mischievous smirk. Her horn then started glowing and fired a beam towards Twilight and disappeared, until the unicorn mare took the blow.

“GAAAAH!” Twilight called out, but as Nightmare Moon’s cackle kept spreading everywhere, Twilight kept looking around.

“WHAT DID YOU DO TO ME?!” Twilight shouted.

“Don’t you worry. You’ll find out soon,” Nightmare Moon’s voice said, until the cackling faded. She then heard silence all around her, glad that it was all over, and then said, “I should probably get home.” She then looked forward in any direction, looking for any possible way back to Ponyville, but as she looked straight ahead, she saw a safer exit. “That must be my way out.” Twilight then started walking on the path she followed, hoping that she would get back to the Golden Oak Library and help Spike, her dragon assistant, finish unpacking, and possibly go to bed.

As she was walking, she wasn’t paying any attention to her stomach slowly swelling up. She did, however, feel her stomach grumbling, and possibly felt hungry.

“Huh. I'm feeling really hungry,” Twilight thought to herself while walking. “Maybe I should go pick up something for me and Spike before heading home.” Then, she suddenly thought of something when going wide eyed, and slightly furrowed with confusion and her eyes upwards. “Wait a minute! Spike and I already had dinner earlier! So, why am I so hungry all of a sudden?! Maybe that’s not hunger…” She then felt both the straps on her saddlebags begin to tighten up a small squeeze around her belly. “My saddlebags are feeling a little tight. Maybe I should...” Twilight suddenly made the mistake of looking at the straps, but noticed that her stomach was now bigger, as she went wide eyed in concerning fright.

“What in Celestia’s name is happening to me?!” Twilight asked, until Nightmare Moon’s cackle came back.

“Still misunderstood, Twilight Sparkle,” her voice said. “That speed was to only help give me a body of my own. That magical blast you felt was an instant maternity spell.”

“Instant maternity spell?! What does that mean?!” Twilight asked.

“That simple little spell I performed gives the mare who it hits a little… how do you put it? Let me think? ‘Bun’ in the oven?” the evil and dark alicorn’s ghost asked cruelly with a tease.

“What?!” Twilight asked. “You made me pregnant?!”

“But sadly, when the foal is born, it’ll have my soul,” the Ghost of Nightmare Moon said. “But as soon as it’s born, I shall take over and it’ll grow up and become my new vessel, and I shall rule again!”

“But an alicorn can’t be born!” Twilight said, trying to carefully move. “That’s impossible!”

“But you better hurry, because you’ve got approximately 3 minutes to get home!” Nightmare Moon’s ghost said, as she disappeared cackling again, before it faded.

Twilight then gently and carefully walked out of the forest, but suddenly, she felt a sight of pain coming from her stomach. She had no choice but to lay down on her side and try to relax. She looked around and called out, “Help! Somepony, please help me!”

Twilight then felt another painful thump in her stomach, and she cried out in pain. She was crying in pain at how much it was hurting her stomach. She then had no choice but to take off the saddlebags and lay them beside her. Twilight then started breathing heavily, trying to ease the pain that was happening to her. Until a familiar sight appeared in her eyes.

Twilight moved her head, looked up and saw her friend, Fluttershy, the timidly caring yellow pegasus mare with the pink silky mane and tail walking over to her cottage.

“Fluttershy! Fluttershy, please help me!” Twilight called out. Fluttershy heard Twilight’s voice and then trotted over to her friend and saw how painfully and heavily swollen her belly was, until she knew what was happening.

“My goodness! Are you alright, Twilight?!” Fluttershy asked.

“I need to get back home, but my tummy’s hurting so much I can’t move,” Twilight said, but she then felt another painful nudge in her stomach. “Can you please help? I don’t have much time.”

“Absolutely! Just hold on!” Fluttershy said, as she looked down and began to ask her bunny Angel a favor. “Angel honey, gather some help so I can bring Twilight inside.”

Angel saluted his paw and bounced over to the other animals and made some motivational communication asking for their help, until they were all delighted to assist. The animals divided into a few smaller portions and helped Fluttershy carry Twilight inside without harming her unexpected cargo that magically appeared inside her now completely round and bulbous belly.

After Fluttershy’s animals finally got Twilight inside the cottage where their caretaker lived, they carefully placed her onto her bed where Fluttershy usually sleeps, and then Fluttershy put a few towels underneath her rear area, but kept the folded ones and a bowl of hot steamy water, along with her first aid kit next to her.

Until all of a sudden, Spike, Twilight’s number 1 assistant, and their friends, a rainbow maned blue pegasus named Rainbow Dash, a grayish orange western earth pony mare with a stetson hat named Applejack, a curly purple maned white unicorn mare named Rarity, and a puffy maned pink pony named Pinkie Pie arrived.

“TWILIGHT?!” they all exclaimed in concern to their inexplicably bloated friend.

“Oh my stars, darling!” Rarity said, showing worry, trying to fix Twilight's disheveled mane for her dignity’s sake.

“Are you alright, sugarcube?” Applejack asked, feeling that her experience as a farm pony as going to be very important, and very soon.

“What happened to you?” Rainbow Dash asked just weirded out of the situation, tilting her head in confusion at what she was seeing.

“How did this happen, by the way?” Fluttershy asked.

“It’s sort of a funny story,” Twilight said, until she then told Fluttershy about how it happened after getting her book back from the forest. Fluttershy suddenly felt shocked about hearing about Twilight’s encounter with Nightmare Moon’s ghost.

“Oh my! That means we’ll have to defeat the foal if that happens!” Fluttershy said sadly. “Okay, I’ll do the best I can, so just breathe and let me take it from here.”

“Let us assist, dear,” Rarity said sweetly.

Twilight nodded, until she looked down and saw Fluttershy’s hooves were all wet, meaning she was leaking from her section. “Oh no!” Twilight shouted frightfully. “My water broke! It’s coming!” Then a huge bolt of pain came from her stomach. “GAAAAAAAHHH!!”

“Oh my! Okay, just try to stay calm and I’ll get this done,” Fluttershy said. “Okay, but hurry! I don’t think I can hold it any longer!” Twilight said, as she saw Rarity placing a blanket around her belly, so she wouldn't be able to see what was going on. “Just let Fluttershy handle it. Pinkie, could you be on watch in case you see something?”

“Okie-dokie-lokie!” Pinkie Pie replied.

“Rainbow Dash, could you and Applejack support Twilight?” Fluttershy asked. The two mares nodded, and Rainbow Dash held Twilight’s hoof while Applejack placed one hoof behind her neck and one on her hoof and shoulder. “We’re right by your side, Twilight,” Applejack said, and Twilight nodded.

Twilight then started pushing to get the foal out of her. She felt the stinging cessation coming from her crotch area. She could now feel her private area stretching. “GAAAAH!!” Twilight let out one painful cry. “It hurts so much!” She then started breathing fast, but exhaled deeply without hyperventilating.

“Ooh! Here comes the head! Here comes the head!” Pinkie Pie bounced happily. “Okay, just one more push and we’re all done,” Fluttershy said sweetly. “Just take it easy, darling,” Rarity said. Twilight nodded and started pushing. It was really painful for her. Fluttershy then saw the small sack coming out of Twilight’s rear, until Rarity lit up her horn with a blue magical aura and used a scalpel from Fluttershy’s first aid kit to cut it open, and out came a baby pony, but after Rarity got it all cleaned up and wrapped in a clean towel, the foal wasn’t moving, until its horn was the only thing they could see.

Suddenly, from Twilight’s saddlebags, Nightmare Moon’s ghostly aura from the Crystal Eye arose and then swarmed towards the baby.

“NOOOO!!” the Mane 6 and Spike shouted. Then, a bright light emerged from the diamond as well, and landed on the baby pony, blocking out Nightmare Moon’s spirit, preventing her from getting near the baby.

Both sprits suddenly had a argument and a fight, until a small bright speck of blue light appeared, but as Nightmare Moon could prevent it, both spirits entered the baby pony.

“What... just... happened?” Rarity asked.

“I don't know,” Spike replied.

“Look! The foal!” Fluttershy said. All seven of them started looking at the foal. The foal then started aging up to a unicorn colt aged six. They then saw his coat and mane and tail starting to gain some color. His mane and tail were very dark blue and moderate sapphire blue, but banged and ruffled like Twilight’s, and covered with a few streaks of slightly desaturated blue,  dark moderate blue, very dark violet, and dark violet down the middle, and his coat turned to a very soft violet almost like Twilight’s purple fur.

“What in tarnation just happened?” Applejack asked.

“I have no idea,” Rainbow Dash said.

“Is... is the foal okay?” Twilight asked weakly.

“Don’t worry, darling. The foal is alright,” Rarity said, holding the colt on her hoof, and showed him to Twilight.

“Oh my gosh… it’s a colt, but… he looks just like me, and like somepony else I know,” Twilight said, until Rarity laid the colt beside her.

The girls then felt tired, and they decided to sleep in the cottage for the night. As the colt was still asleep, Twilight wanted to inspect the colt more, but she went under, wrapping her hooves around the sleeping colt. Fluttershy then removed the towels from under Twilight and then got everything she used, and then Rarity covered Twilight and the little colt up with the blanket, until the Mane 5 and Spike went to sleep. Hopefully, everything will make sense for Twilight in the morning.
