Twilight ran out into the parking lot with her new friends, Applejack, Fluttershy, Pinkie Pie, Rarity and Rainbow Dash behind her. She gasped, seeing Snips’s hand clamped over Spike’s mouth. Spike was wriggling, struggling to break free. “That’s close enough!” snarled a female voice. Twilight gasped, as Sunset Shimmer appeared from behind the portal, holding a sledgehammer. She saw Sunset’s belly was bloated, and she was struggling herself. But Twilight could see in her eyes that she would not give up and that even if it risked her health, she’d take that crown from her.
“Twilight!” cried Spike.
Twilight glared at Sunset. “Don’t hurt him!”
Sunset’s lip curled. “Oh, I wouldn’t dream of it!” she sneered sarcastically. “I’m not a monster Twilight.”
She turned to her two cronies, Snips and Snails. “Let him go.”
Snips dropped Spike. He trotted into Twilight’s arms. She hugged him. Sunset turned to Twilight. “You don’t belong here. Give me that crown, and you can go home tonight. Or keep it and never. Go. Home. So, what's your answer?”
“No,” replied Twilight.
“Are you fucking kidding me?” shouted Sunset. “You are going to leave your friends behind?!”
“Yes,” said Twilight. “I am. They can survive without my element of harmony. If I let it fall into your hands, this place might not. So go ahead. Destroy the portal. You are not getting this crown!”
Sunset snarled, then sighed. “Fine. You win.”
She put her hand to her stomach. She winced.
“You... are... so AWESOME!” shouted Rainbow Dash, as the girls began to crowd around Twilight, talking at once.
“It’s no wonder she’s a real live princess!” cried Rarity.
“Oh yes,” sneered Sunset. “She’s so very special.” She turned to her 2 goons, as Spike snatched Twilight’s crown. “GRAB HIM, YOU FOOLS!”
Snips and Snails looked at each other dumbly, then realising she had a mission, they ran after Spike. Spike was too fast for them.
Spike threw the crown to Rainbow Dash. Rainbow Dash threw it to the girls. The crown went through Applejack’s lasso, towards Twilight, who fumbled with it, accidentally throwing it into Sunset Shimmer’s greedy hands.
“I’ll take that!” she cried. She laughed evilly. “At last, more power than I could ever imagine!”
A jet of blue light engulfed the pregnant woman as she was lifted into the air. Sunset threw her hands over her head, yelling in pain. She was crying, as she began to transform into a she-demon.
She cackled.
She flexed her claws as she shot a ball of magic at Snips and Snails, turning them into demons.
Students screamed. “I've had to jump through so many hoops tonight just to get my hands on this crown, and it really should have been mine all along!” She growled menacingly. “But let's let bygones be bygones. I am your princess now, and you will be loyal... to me!”
She then used magic to remove the bricks with her fist. She then entered the demolished school, turning all the students into zombies. Flash’s eyes were glazed with cyan, as he searched for Twilight.
“Round them up and bring them to the portal,” she commanded, flapping her bat-like blood-red wings. She flew towards Twilight and the girls. “Spoiler alert: I was bluffing when I said I was going to destroy the portal. I don't want to rule this pathetic little high school; I want Equestria! And with my own little teenage army behind me, I am going to get it!”
“No, you’re not!” shouted Twilight.
“Oh, please! What exactly do you think you're going to do to stop me? I have magic, and you have nothing!” laughed Sunset.
Rainbow Dash stepped forward, the wind blowing in her multi-coloured hair. “She has us!”
Sunset laughed mockingly. “SHE!” she cried, wiping her eyes. “Gee, the gang really is all back together! Now, step aside. Twilight has interfered with my plans one too many times already! She needs to be dealt with!”
She shot a golden ball of magic at Twilight. The 5 girls covered her. But the girls turned pink.
“ The magic contained in my Element was able to unite with those that helped create it!” cried Twilight, as she and the girls ponied up. “Honesty! Kindness! Laughter! Generosity! Loyalty! Magic!” she cried, each element echoing. “Together with a crown, they create a power beyond anything you could imagine, but it is a power you don't have the ability to control! The crown may be upon your head, Sunset Shimmer, but you cannot wield it, because you do not possess the most powerful magic of all: the magic of friendship!”
A jet of rainbows hit Sunset in the back. Sunset let out a roar, of pain. “Here and in Equestria, it is the only magic that can truly unite us all!” cried Twilight.
Twilight looked down at the pit. Sunset had transformed back into a human girl. She was on her side, her long red-gold hair over her face.
Flash hurried to the edge of the pit. “Sunset!” cried Flash.
Sunset turned, her eyes wide with pain. She let out a cry of labour. Flash hurried into the pit. “Sunset,” he said. “Sunset, are you okay?”
Flash knelt by her. “Come on,” he said. “Come on! The baby!”
Fluttershy gasped, hurrying inside. “Flash, I’ll take it from here,” she said quietly.
“Fluttershy,” whispered Sunset. “I’m sorry, okay.” She spoke louder. “I’m sorry, all of you. I- I didn’t know. I was angry, I guess. Flash raped me. And tortured me. I wanted to take over another world.”
“You’re forgiven,” said Fluttershy. “Now, listen to me, I need you to relax and push.”
After Sunset gave birth to a set of beautiful twins(both girls), she collapsed.
“Flash, you have to name them!” cried Fluttershy desperately.
“Rose and Lily,” said Flash quietly. “Look at me, Sunset! Look at me! You’re okay!”
She moaned. Fluttershy removed Sunset’s leather jacket. Her magenta top was blood-stained. Twilight went inside the pit. “Sunset, please!” begged Flash.
Sunset groaned. “My back,” she whispered. “Ow...”
She collapsed, her cyan eyes closing. Flash brushed her hair out of her face. Sunset reached out to touch his face. Flash smiled. “Hey,” he said. “It’s gonna be okay. I promise.”
Sunset sighed. “I know,” she said. “At least I got to see you one last time.”
“Don’t say that!” cried Flash. “You’ll be okay, you’ll see. I know we’ve split up. I know we’ve had our arguments, but you know, I think it’s time. We need to talk. Just the two of us.”
“No... No... not yet,” said Sunset weakly, coughing. “I’m not ready. Neither are you. We should wait. Wait until we know if I’m okay. We should just... just give this time. You love her anyway. Twilight. She deserves you. You deserve her. You take her. You don’t need me, Flash. I should... go.”
She closed her eyes. She was still.
Twilight took off her crown. She placed her crown upon Sunset’s head. A wave of light burst into the sky, as she was lifted into the air. She landed, and her wounds healed.
She opened her eyes.
