I was sleeping last night and couldn't stop thinking of Moon Mist. I can still see her face. It is very close to the time we will fight the Chaos team. I spent two days in Ponyville to see Pinkie. Now we travel to Dileria. We walked through the Everfree forest, me, Rainbow, and Darkness. "So how many days does it take to travel there by hoof?" Rainbow asked flying above. "About three days." I replied. Darkness wasn't talking. "So when we get there where will we go." "Seeming as the Shadow ponies have finally joined the Changeling alliance. We go straight to the coloseum. I am after all banished from Dileria." "Well, is that it?" "Yes." "Simple enough." we continued walking not all flying to conserve our energy. When we arrived at Dileria's capitol, Mania, there was a crowd formed around the gates. Rainbow was iratated. "Where is the light. It is so dark." "We're in Dileria. They don't call it the land of darkness for nothing." Rainbow looked at me concernedly. "So there's no light. That means there aren't any rainbows." "That is true, but we shouldn't be talking here." Later when we were in the Chaos Coleseum. "It's beautiful. Dark, but beautiful." Rainbow commented as we entered the lobby. We continued into the barracks where we prepped for the battle and I explained our strategy. "Okay. Revelation Armor for Rainbow. It's the most aerodynamic armor we have." "Thanks, but whats this horn for?" "For killing of course." "What! We can die?" "When you die in the Colosseum your body heals instantly when its over, but you will feel every bit of the pain. So steal yourself." "Now Darkness, the usual?" "Hell yeah." "Okay, Raver's Form Armor than." Rainbow eyeballed us awkwardly. "Oh, me , Dawn, and Darkness use to fight here when we were younger. We had a perfect plan to. Darkness would change into one of them which confused them. I would than kill one of them while they were distracted. With that death Dawn would gain incredible strength and kill whoever was left. It was full proof." "Sounds horrible." "It is, but it is all fine. We don't really kill anypony. Well for me The Armor of Memories which allows me to remember in vivid contrast for its emotional powers. Now we go. Stay calm and keep a clear mind." We entered the Colosseum arena and were greeted by hundreds of cheering Dilerian ponies. We saw Chyralis, the changeling queen, at the sky-box with Princess Sly, the Shadow princess. We examined our opposing team. Red Dawn stood in the front. To his left a Changeling named Formed Lightning and on his right, to my surprise, a Shadow pony named Abyss. Abyss is Lighted Darkness's Link. The announcer spoke ominously. "Today we have some old champions returning, but they seem to be against each other. On the left we have Red Dawn, Abyss, and Formed Lightning. On the right we have the captain of that champion team Starlight Shadow, Lighted Darkness, and Rainbow Dash. Rainbow Dash is the first pony from Equestria to fight in the Colosseum. Good luck. Begin." With this final word we were off. Rainbow took to the sky pursued by Formed Lightning. Darkness began to concentrate. He changed into Red Dawn. Abyss was confused only half a second before attacking him. I headed straight for Red Dawn trying to get him before he gained his power. I flew and slammed into his side with my steal horn. Blood ran out like a fountain. I was covered and realized he was smiling. I turned around to see that Rainbow lay on the ground missing a hoof and twitching violently. Formed Lightning was also lying dead on the ground. Darkness and Abyss were having trouble with each other. I than turned to see the last of myself ripped limb for limb. I died with a smile on my face. The next morning I awoke in the Colosseum hospital to see Dawn standing over my bed staring at my face. "How was your sleep, partner?" he asked with a grin. "Just fine, partner." I said with a grin. "Quite happy for somepony who just lost his new life." "Wrong." "What?" "If you recall I said winner joins the other team. Not loser and by Honour Rotar you must abide by your promise. So take this letter with you to Canterlot and give it to Princess Celestia. Remember if you go against Honour Rotar you will drop dead." "But... Uh... No... Alright give me the damned letter. You tricked me." "I wasn't the Trickster of the Triad for nothing." "What, your the Trickster? I thought Darkness was the Trickster. I was the Brute and he was the Compassionate." "Well leave. We'll meet you there." "I am loyal to my savior and will follow my new friend where ever he goes." Abyss interrupted. I saw Red Dawn's face light up for a split second. Than he was serious again. He looked at me with anger. "At least some friends are loyal." he left the room and I exited the bed. I was approached by Lighted Darkness and Rainbow. "My plan went without a hitch. They work for us now." "Thats amazing." "So where to?" Rainbow asked with no hesitation. "Well I was hoping to visit Moon Mist's grave before we left." "Oh do you need time alone." Rainbow asked in concern. "It was a long time ago so you don't need to dodge it. I forgave Dawn a long time ago. He just hasn't forgiven me. Anyway I'd feel better if you two were there." Rainbow smiled. Red Dawn's Point of View. I entered the castle of Canterlot. Confronted by a few guards I presented them with the letter I was given by Starlight. They led me to the throne room. I was confronted by Celestia. She seemed angry. "You are not to leave your appointed room until Starlight returns from Dileria. Am I understood." "Yes, your highness." I uttered while I bowed. Me and Abyss were showed our rooms. The doors slammed behind us. I sat alone for some time. Thinking of a way out only to realize that if I tried to escape Honour Rotar would kill me. How could I be so stupid. My thoughts were interrupted as two guards and a familiar pink pony entered the room. She approached me with a smile on her face. "Hello Dawn. Do you remember me?" "Of course I do. I killed you." "Thats okay, I forgive you." I was extremely surprised to here this. "What!?" "Starlight told me that the more I hate the more my body could be corrupted. So I forgive you." I bowed my head when she spoke these words. Being in Equestria for less than a day has already weakened my rage. I felt unhappy. "Well here is some food. That is all I wanted to say. Good-night." she and the guards left the room. I felt odd inside and decided to meditate. Starlight Shadow's Point of View. We had visited the grave of Moon Mist and were now on the border of the Everfree Forest and Ponyville. Rainbow broke the silence as usual. "So now what?" "We wait for the Changelings to make there move." "Thats it no more plans or tricks?" "Nope." "Thats no fun." Rainbow said crossing her front legs. We arrived at the castle the next day. I went to Dawn's room. He was asleep so I waked him up. "Dawn wake up. I need to talk to you." "What is it traitor." he said as he got out of bed. "Don't be like that. Who is your Link?" "Why do you want to know?" "We both made a promise to Darkness and I intend to keep that promise. I have found a way to change him into a normal pony. We must all become the Triad and agree on one thing to happen. Then we will be changed back." "You have found that out when?" "I have done some deep research into the Triad lately." "Well a promise is a promise. I do have honor. My Link is Chyralis the Changeling Queen." my heart sunk at these words. "Chyralis, how can we get close to her?" "I won the Colosseum maybe she'll want to see me and then we can sneak you in." "We'll have to think of this in more detail, but this is not priority." we were interrupted by Pinkie who had seen me from the hall. She ran in gave me a kiss and a large, rib cracking hug. "Are you okay? I was sooo worried about you." "I'm fine Pinkie, really." I said with a laugh. "Okay." "We'll speak later Dawn. I have arranged with the princess that you are aloud anywhere in the castle except for the war room." "Your pretty nice for a traitor. Thank you Starlight." "No problem, but remember the..." "I know, I know. I'll die. You don't need to keep reminding me." I escorted Pinkie to the garden where we could speak. "Hello Pinkie and how have you been?" "I've been fine. I missed you." "I missed you to Pinkie. I need to tell you something." "What is it?" her eyes widened. "I uh. I..." "Starlight they need us in the war room!" Rainbow shouted as she passed over the garden. "I need to go Pinkie." I turned and ran for the war room. Princess Luna's Point of View. I sat like my big sister told me to. It was very hard to hold myself from killing Starlight as he walked into the war room. I promised I would kill every Shadow pony, but I guess I can't keep that promise now. Starlight joined us around the table. To my disgust a Changeling walked into the room as well. My sister began to speak. "Okay, now that we're all here. There has been some movement in the Everfree Forest. It seems the Changeling Alliance has acquired the assistance of the Shadow ponies and are setting up a full assault on Equestria. We must stop them. Starlight, you and Darkness will lead two brigades in the defense is that fine with you? "Yes princess." "Alright get some sleep we have a big day tomorrow." I went to my room and slept. End of Chapter 4.
