//------------------------------// // You Can't Wake Up, This Is Not A Dream // Story: Magical Mysteries of Hogwarts: Twilight's Reign of Darkness // by Juliaa //------------------------------// Next day all of them were ready to go. "Okay, any last words and questions before we start the plan?" Sunset asked to make sure everyone understands. "I can't wait for my sister to go down!" Shining smiled. "I hate you all," Mel eyerolled. "We hate you too," Discord replied. "I don't promise I won't hurt anyone," Stacy laughed. "And I am only here to support Shining!" Cadence shrugged. "And I failed a class once so I had to go back a year and it has haunted me ever since," Fluttershy said in panic. Sunset facepalmed. "I meant about the plan! Not the confessions!" Everyone stared at her. "Good! Let's go!" ______ They entered. It was dark and hard to get in with all the guards around. Discord, Fluttershy, Mel and Stacy went to free the prisoners. Sunset, Shining and Cadence went to Nightmare Moon and Twilight. When they arrived to jail they were surprised to see that there were only 3 guards standing there. "Flipendo!" Fluttershy knocked them out. "Bombarda!" Stacy smiled. "No!" Fluttershy yelled as explosion came from Stacy's spell and guards were now trapped under some wall. "Will they be okay?" "Yes," Discord said as he checked to see if they are alive. Rainbow, Rarity, Applejack, Snape and Pinkie Pie were staring at them. "You guys came!" Rainbow and everyone else was shocked to see them. "You all work fast!" "What are they doing here?!" Applejack freaked out at Stacy and Mel. "Oh don't worry, they are with us!" Discord quickly said as he went to free them from jail. "For now," Stacy smiled. "Long story," Discord seemed exhausted. "You will have to explain this later!" Rarity didn't want to let it go but she couldn't stop thinking about what is to come and about Capper. Discord freed them and they hurried to go join Sunset and the rest in fighting dark wizards. _____ Meanwhile Sunset, Shining and Cadence were sneaking around when they finally got to the room Nightmare Moon was in. Twilight must be there too. There were few guards outside but they fought them easily. Sunset has mastered many spells since her days at Hogwarts. "Finally you came!" Nightmare Moon was thrilled as she noticed them enter trying to sneak in. Twilight was standing next to her and Capper stood nearby too. He still looked really guilty. "Oh you brought backup? Told you Twilight that they hate you and just want to take you down!" Twilight was furious. She couldn't believe what was just happening. "You brought my brother and his girlfriend with you?! How could you?! That's really low even for you!" "You didn't really leave me any other choice! I need to save the world!" Sunset was angry. "No! You only want revenge on me! You hate me! Nightmare Moon was right all along! Crucio!" she casted at Sunset. Sunset fell in pain yet again but this time it didn't last long," Expelliarmus!" Shining saved her. He actually saved her! This might work after all. "You will pay for that!" Twilight screamed as she quickly grabbed her wand and casted Bombarda at roof above Cadence. Roof exploded and pieces fell right on her. "No, Cadence!" Shining cried out but it was too late. "Depulso!" Sunset tried to attack but Twilight defended herself. As Shining was crying, Nightmare took the opprotunity to deal with him too. "This is too easy," she just yawned. Sunset couldn't believe it. Both of them... taken care of. She has to fight all by herself and her chances are low with Twilight, Nightmare and all their guards around her. They will lose it. It's over. Suddenly, Discord and the rest got in and a big fight started. Everyone was at least a bit sad about Shining and Cadence but it was not time to think about it now. Applejack and Rainbow fought some guards, with their bare hands. "Should we pull out the wands and get this over quicker?" Applejack asked. "No! We are winning anyway," Rainbow was too sure of herself. Applejack just eyerolled and took her wand out anyway. They continued to fight. Pinkie joined Mel and Stacy in fighting some more guards. There was just so many. Too many. There is no way 3 of them will take them all down but they won't quit trying. One guard casted a spell at Pinkie and she was wounded. She fell to the floor with pain. Stacy and Mel didn't really help her so she tried her best to cover the wound to survive. Snape joined Sunset in fighting. He would never admit but he was actually impressed she learnt almost as many spells as skilled teachers know. Fluttershy went to try to see if she can save Shining and Cadence. It was too late and she started crying. "Fluttershy move!" Discord yelled as he stepped in front of her before a spell from Nightmare Moon made her join Shining and Cadence. However, it hit him. "No! Discord!" she screamed and got up to fight Nightmare but she wasn't successful. Didn't even have a chance to cast anything before she was hit with the same spell Discord has been. Sunset panicked. Her friends were going down, her and Snape didn't have much chance. Snape protected himself from spell but it hit her. She was now wounded and not much of a help. She saw Pinkie was also hurt and lost a lot of blood. Stacy, Mel and Snape were soon hit too. Applejack and Rainbow were thrown into another room by big hits. "Ouch!" Rainbow yelled. "This isn't looking good!" Applejack panicked as she looked out into the battlefield. Rarity tried to fight. She did her best but she was never skilled fighter. Just as she was about to be hit Capper jumped in front of her and saved her. "I knew you were on our side!" Rarity cried. "Well that for sure is a lie," Applejack sighed as she watched the events. "Rainbow, what do we do?" she panicked and couldn't help the tears running down her cheek. "AJ, look!" she called out and was looking at time turner on the table. Applejack started smiling, "maybe we can go into past and save them all! It's not too late!"
