//------------------------------// // Chapter 1: The Begining // Story: Sunset Shimmer's Magic Adventures, Volume 1: A new timeline.. // by Justafanfictioner //------------------------------// Sunset Shimmer and her friends were fighting against a giant plant monster causing havoc in Canterlot. “I just ask for one, ONE day without being attacked by a rampaging monster!!” yelled Rarity, angry. “You might be overexaggerating there, Rare” said Applejack. “It’s the first monster we got in months!!” “Where did that thing came from anyway?” asked Twilight. “It doesn’t matter for the moment!” answered Rainbow Dash. “We need to hit it with our Rainbow Laser, but that plant monster doesn’t let us time to charge it!! Fluttershy, are you done?!” “One more minute!!” answered Fluttershy. “I’m almost done!!” Sunset and the other continued buying time for Fluttershy as the enemy’s attacks started getting more aggressive. Meanwhile, not far away, two mysterious individuals were observing the fight, wearing black robes. “Get away, girls!!” said Fluttershy. “Okay, my little friends, the all-you-can-eat buffet is open!!” A tidal wave of hungry grasshoppers appeared from all directions, heading for the giant walking meal. In a matter of minutes, the monster’s size considerably diminished. “Calling an army of grasshoppers against a monster mostly made of vegetation...not bad” said one of the two individual with a masculine voice. “It was to be expected, dear” said the other with a feminine voice “That Fluttershy girl seems weak at first glance, but her magic is no joke. Still, i’m surprised that she was able to call so many grasshoppers at once.” The grasshoppers were done eating the giant plant monster and left the city. The duo opened a portal and disappeared. “There was someone in that thing!!” said Applejack. “Wait...It’s Gloriosa Daisy!!” The girls joined Applejack and walked toward Gloriosa, who was just waking up. “What happened?” she asked. “Why us the city such in bad shape!! Did...Did i do that?” Sunset Shimmer touched Gloriosa and read her memories. “Those two mysterious individuals again...” she said. “Alright girls, good job!!” Twilight removed a strange seed that Gloriosa coughed out a few seconds ago. “This thing is the culprit” she said. “Appraisal!!” Using a spell, Twilight was able to get the informations on the seed. “As i thought” she said. “That seed reeks of Dark Magic.” “The two mysterious individuals implanted it inside Gloriosa” said Sunset. “I swear, if i put my hands on them, they’ll pay for what they did to our friends.” The two mysterious individuals were walking in a lair. They opened a door, walked some more, then kneeled in front of an imposing individual sat on a throne. They removed the mask on their faces. One of the two was a guy and the other one, a girl. The guy had black, blue and white hairs and a dark-grey skin color. The girl had long orange, red and yellow hairs and beige skin. “Clearly this was a waste of time” said the girl. “That mindless plant monster stood no chance against those girls.” “What she meant, Father...I mean, Mighty Grogar” said the guy. “Is that you wasted a lot of your already limited reserve of magic on a monster than yet again, failed to defeat those pesky girls.” “Why don’t you just send me to deal with them?” asked the girl. “They would be no match for me!!” “Your time will come, Sunny Flame” answered Grogar. “Beside, those girls are not ripe for the picking yet. Stealing their magic now would not be enough for what i’ve planned to do.” “I just want a good fight!!” said Sunny “Burning those weak humans alive isn’t enough to keep me entertained anymore!!! Oh, i know!! Why don’t i just burn down another city!?!” Sunny started laughing like a psychopath. The guy bashed her on the head with his fist. Sunny growled and punched him into the ceiling. “You want to fight, Moonlight?!!”asked Sunny, very pissed. “That’s enough, Sunny!!!” shouted Grogar, so loudly that the lair was shaking. “Yes Father!” she answered, calming down instantly. Moonlight reappeared next to Sunny, covered in dust. “Anyway, i have a mission for you Moonlight” said the Father of all monsters. He summoned a magic picture of the Dazzlings, Aria Blaze, Sonata Dusk and Adagio Dazzle that he gave to Moonlight. “Find those girls and bring them back to me!” he. “Use any mean at your disposal” Moonlight vanished away. “I also have a mission for you, Sunny, don’t panic” said Grogar. “You who like fighting, you’ll be served.” “Fuck yeah!!” she said. “This will be a long mission” said Grogar. “One that will be dangerous” Sunny was trembling with excitation. “Find and bring me those 6 individuals” he said, giving her a list. “Let’s see” she said, reading the list. “Sombra, Tirek, Chrysalis, Cosmos, Discord and Stygian” “I’ve already located each of them” said Grogar. “The problem is that all of them were seemingly exposed to Equestrian magic by some turn of events over the years, and gained the magic of their Equestrian counterparts” “Do you have something to do with it, Father?” asked Sunny. “Maybe...” answered Grogar. “Take my spying orb with you and use it to track them down. Oh, One last thing, don’t kill them, i want them alive, Sunny” Sunny sighed, took the globe and put it in a bag. She then left the lair, heading for the closest target. Back to Canterlot, Sunset was playing video games with Fluttershy, trying desperately to defeat her. “FUCK!! Fuck, fuck, fuck!!!” yelled Sunset. “Why can’t i never beat you at this game!!?” “Maybe it’s just not your type of game” answered Fluttershy, calmly. “I’m done” said Sunset, throwing her controller away “I’m going to see what the others are up to!” Sunset grabbed her phone and texted Rainbow Dash. ”Hi, Dash!!” she wrote. ”What are you doing right now?” ”I’m at the gym right now” she replied. “Doing some intense leg training” ”Count me out” wrote Sunset. Sunset Shimmer contacted Applejack, but she was unavailable at the moment. Rarity was too busy with making dresses, Twilight Sparkle was working on a new project in her laboratory and didn’t want to be disturbed. That only left Pinkie Pie as an option. “Yeah” thought Sunset. “I think i’m going to call Flash Sentry” She called Flash and asked him if he wanted to go somewhere with her. He accepted gladly the invitation and told her he would be at her place in 15 minutes. 15 minutes Later, Flash arrived in his car and told Sunset to get in. “So, where do we go?” asked Flash. “Why don’t we go to an amusement park?” she answered. “Good idea!!” said Flash. “To Equestria Land it is!!” As the duo was heading to an amusement park, Moonlight, on his side, had found the Sirens. They were ordering at a Mexican food restaurant named Taco Bill. He waited for the girls to return in their van, then waited for them inside. “Who the fuck are you?!” asked Adagio. “And what are you doing in my van?!” “I’m here on Grogar’s request” answered Moonlight. “I’ve got for order to bring the 3 of you back to him” “Grogar?” asked Adagio. “You are kidding, right? Grogar is dead since thousands of years!!” “He’s very well alive” answered Moonlight. The air around the girls suddenly became chilly. Moonlight’s mood went from nice to menacing in a second. The Dazzlings activated their pendants. “I really don’t want to fight fellow villains” said Moonlight. “I’d prefer if you followed me without making any story.” “We gave up on our evil ways” said Adagio. “We are not villains anymore.” “So, why do you still have those necklaces of yours?” asked Moonlight. “If you truly gave up on your evil ways, then you would have discarded those as well. Deep down inside you, i know you still want the world to burn. Our Father Grogar can help you realizing your deepest fantasies.” “He might be the one who created us” said Aria Blaze. “But that doesn’t mean we have to obey him.” “Beside, you clearly hate him too” said Sonata. “It’s obvious you can’t stand Grogar. So why do you serve him so faithfully?” “He’s necessary to my plan” answered Moonlight. “I will tell you more about it, if you follow me, of course!” The girls looked at each other and nodded. “Well, we clearly don’t have a choice” said Adagio. “Very well, bring us to his lair.” Moonlight smiled and took the driver seat. He opened a portal in front of him using a magic stone, then drove through the portal, which was leading to Grogar’s lair, an abandonned castle somewhere in Transylvanny. Him and the girls got out of the van and walked inside the castle, until they reached the throne room, where Grogar was sitting confortably. “I was expecting nothing more from you, Moonlight” said Grogar. “Welcome back, my dear Daughters!” “Hi, Daddy!!!” shouted Sonata. “Even as a human” said Aria. “He’s still imposing and menacing” “Where’s Sunny?” asked Moonlight. “She’s on a mission as well” answered Grogar. “I tasked her with recruiting more villains to my Legion. At this moment, she should already be fighting one of them.” Somewhere in the middle of an amusement park, Sunny was chasing after Sombra. She finally caught up to him and smiled. Sombra let out a sigh. “So, the old fart is finally coming for me” he said. “I knew it would happen someday, so i prepared myself to face him, or one of his underlings. I won’t go without a fight!!” “That’s what i like to hear” said Sunny. “Try to entertain me, okay, handsome?” Sunny attacked Sombra with a torrent of black flames, that he deflected with a shadow crystal wall. The black flames destroyed a stand, severely injuring 3 people standing nearby and killing the stand holder. The people around immediately ran away, terrorized, screaming loudly. Sunny was laughing devilishly, enjoying the destruction and suffering she was causing. “Stop it!” said Sombra. “I’m your opponent!” “What? Do you really care about those miserable creatures?” asked Sunny. “Fine, if fighting somewhere empty is what it takes to have you fight seriously, then be it!!” Sunny transported Sombra in the middle of a city she already destroyed in the past. “There is nothing here” said Sunny. “You can go all out, handsome!” “She’s clearly missing some brain cells” thought Sombra. “She’s crazy, and weirdly, i like that. No, now is not the time to simp, i’ll defeat her, then bring her back at my house.” Sunny grew dragon wings in her back and turned her forearms into dragon ones. She rushed at Sombra, grabbed him and flew high in the sky. She saw a plane flying nearby and threw Sombra into it. Using his magic, he deviated his trajectory and avoided touching the plane. Sunny appeared right over him, grabbed him again, and dove at high speed toward the ground. “Are you insane?!” asked Sombra. “You’ll kill both of us!!” Sunny laughed like a psychopath as they were heading to the ground. Sombra suddenly turned the tide at the last moment and only Sunny crashed into the ground, while Sombra created a shadow crystal slide to land safely. He then went to see the spot where Sunny crashed, expecting to find a bloody mess. At his surprise, he only found a pile of ashes. “Ashes?” said Sombra. “She should be a bloody mess!” The ashes started glowing and Sunny materialized from them. Her upper body was covered of dragon scales while the lower region was covered of feathers. Her legs were covered of scales, her feets were bird ones. As for her arms, they were covered of feathers, and her hands were dragon ones. Her right wing was one of a bird, the left one, of a dragon. Two dragon horns grew on her forehead, and her hairs had been replaced by feathers. Her eyes were those of a bird and her ears, those of a dragon. Her teeths became all sharp and pointy, like those of a dragon. To complete her look, dragon scales were covering the side of her face and her neck. Only the face had still human features. “What are you?” asked Sombra. “I’m the ultimate life form!!” answered Sunny, smiling devilishly. “Grogar created me thousands of years ago by mixing the blood of a Dragon and a Phoenix into the body of a Unicorn. He then infused Chimera magic and Chimera blood to my body. Chimera magic allows me to shift parts of my body into those of a dragon, a phoenix, or both. Chimera Blood allows me to use the magic abilities/powers of both dragon and phoenixes at the same time, at all time. What you see now is my unleashed form” “So, you have the power of reviving yourself, like the phoenix” said Sombra. “This is why you weren’t afraid to die with me earlier. You knew you would just ressurect afterward. You are basically immortal...” “Yes, i am” said Sunny “My immortality, my mastery of fire magic, my whole name, my deep connection to the Sun, and having the abilities and powers of a Dragon and a Phoenix, two creatures associated to the Fire Element, earned my the name of Amateratsu, the Goddess of the Sun.” “I’m bad” thought Sombra. “How can i win this?”
