Chapter 6. I'm right here

Celestia and Luna ran as fast as they could thought the sculpture garden to reach discord's statue. As they saw discords statue from a distance they could see twilight was standing in front of the statue with her horn glowing. Celestia and Luna called out to twilight as loud as they could.

"TWILIGHT STOP!" Celestia and Luna called out. But there was no response from twilight she stood her ground.

Before there eyes twilight used there magic as a beam connected her and the statue causing a dark sphere to form around twilight and statue. Celestia and Luna reached the black sphere as it completely encloses around them. Celestia frantically looking around the sphere for a way to enter the sphere.

"What kind of magic is this?" Celestia reached to the sphere received a electric shock though her hoof causing her to cringe in pain.

"Tia are you alright?!" Luna rushed to her sisters side.

"Y-yes I'm fine."

"I know you want to help twilight but throwing yourself into unknown danger wont help her. We just have to hope that she alright and that she can find a way out of there."

The two waited outside pacing around the sphere but nothing changed. Every second that passed felt like hours to Celestia as thoughts raced thought her mind of what could be happening to her student. Luna could only watch as her sister frantically paced around the sphere.

"She's bin in there for to long we need to get her out of there!" Celestia took a few paces away from the sphere before her horn began to glow.

Luna rushed over placing herself between her sister and the sphere."Tia wait we don't know how the sphere will react if we use magic on it. Remember what happened to you when you tried to touch it."

"I know but we have to try something."

"I'm sure the is fine she has defeated discord once and besides she's learned from the best."

"Your right..."

As the two stood outside a faint voice began to emit from the sphere. "Princes Celestia.

"Twilight?!"

Celesta and Luna both turned to the sphere as they heard her voice come from inside it. "Twilight can you hear me! Are you alight?" Celestia called to twilight looking around the sphere for her student. A pony appeared to emerge from the sphere. "Yes I am Celestia even better than ever."

"Twilight thank goodness your alright." Celestia waited with anticipation to see her student alright. But something seemed off when she saw twilight it wasn't until she was almost fully visible that Celestia saw that something was wrong with Twilight. "Twilight what happen to you? What has discord dun to you?"

As Nightfall fully emerged from the sphere she walked casually to Celestia. "Discord only showed me what true magic of chaos."

"What did you just say?" Celestia ask.

"Yes Celestia Discord and he will regain all control over Equestria." The sphere behind her began the fade away revealing discord standing free from his stone prison. Luna was the first to notice discord as Celestia was still to concerned with Nightfall to notice.

"Discord!" Luna yelled.

"Why hello Luna it's bin a wile. You look much different from last time I saw you."

"Discord what have you done to Twilight!" Celestia interrupted.

Twilight was still in shock of seeing the darker form of herself. "Who are you?"

"I'm you twilight cant you tell." Nightfall said as she began to approach twilight. "Besides what difference dues it make who I am. All that matters is that your out of Discords way."

Twilight took a step back as Nightfall approached. "You wont get rid of me so easily." Twilight jumped forward trying to pounce on Nightfall only to pass thought her and crash into the ground. "Let me guess your not real either."

"The only one that is not real is you twilight."

Discord watched as the two argued like small fillies. "As much as I would love you two keep fighting we have some unwanted guest outside. Nightfall be a dear and keep our guest occupied until daddy is finished in here."

"Yes Discord." Nightfall happily nodded as she made her way to the edge of the grass and walked off fading into the darkness.

"What did she mean by me not being real? And where is she going?!" Twilight demanded.

"Like I said Twilight to entertain our guest."

"And who are your so called guest?"

"Well why don't we go and meet them if your so excited to find out." With a snap of his fingers the sphere began to disappear slowly the light began to seep inside the sphere. As the sphere faded more three voices could be heard rapidly getting louder an more intense. But intently twilight could tell who's voices they where.

"That's princes Celestia, and princes Luna!"

"So it seems." Discord smiled as the sphere fully faded revealing himself to the princesses. Twilight saw something odd about discord he was completely calm of the situation.

"I don't know why your so calm Discord both Celestia and Luna are here. And there going to help me stop you." Discord ignored twilight brushing her off as if she was a gust of wind passing by.

"Discord!" Luna yelled noticing Discord as the sphere faded away.

"Why hello Luna it's bin a wile. You look much different from last time I saw you."

"Discord what have you done to Twilight!" Celestia interrupted.

"Don't worry princes I'm fine the other twilight you see is merely a fake." Twilight answered as she rushed to her teachers side but Celestia or Luna didn't seem to notice her.

"Why is she like this Discord!" Celestia demanded.

"What are you talking about I'm right here." Twilight reached with her hoof to catch Celestia's attention but as her hoof touches Celestia she merely passes through her.
