//------------------------------// // Blade // Story: My Little Princess: Twilight's Dark Magic // by BaconBrony //------------------------------// Well this is really unexpected? I thought you just came from the palace?” the pink alicorn said as she got up from the bed. “I know Honey, but this sounds really urgent. I must go to the palace at once!” The Captain of the Royal Guard said as he turned to leave and bolt out the door. “My love, Wait!” Cadence shouted as she dashed after her husband, who was already out the door and headed toward the palace. With a huff she took to the sky in hopes of reaching the palace with haste. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Spike began to regain consciousness, vision still blurry he tried to stand up, but it was to no avail. He ended up stumbling over his own feet and colliding with the, once was a wall, now a pile of rubble. When he finally gained his vision back, he sat there for a minute trying to gain re-control of his nerves and limbs. Now with confidence that he wouldn’t go stumbling into any piles of rubble, he stood up and scanned the room trying to find any other source of life in the room. Seeing that he was the only one in the room he took time to calm himself as he membered the reason why he had become unconscious in the first place. His mother just tried to kill him. “WHAT THE BUCK IS GOING ON?” Spike shouted to no one in particular. As she said this he turned to start walking towards the balcony, but his path was obscured by a mare that crashed through the window. “What the hay?” Spike thought to himself as he rushed over to the mare to aid her. Upon inspecting the mare he noticed a very familiar crescent moon shaped cutie mark. “Princess Luna is that you? What the buck happened?!” Spike nearly shouted Luna’s ears of trying to find out the events that just unfolded in front of him. Alas, it was no use Luna was out cold and had multiple gashes and bruises along her body and now had glass shards protruding her body. She was covered in blood, some hers some not hers, but Spike didn’t care he was just worried about getting Luna to the hospital as soon as possible. “How the hay am I going to get her there?” Spike asked him-self as he realized his predicament. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- *EARLIER* “Twilight, please stop this madness!” Celestia shouted to her former student in hopes of stopping the conflict that was unfolding before her. She didn’t want to hurt Twilight, but she is beginning to become a major threat to her and all of Equestria. She raised up and flared her horn toward Twilight, “Twilight, Put Spike Down!” She commanded as she shouted in the royal Canterlot voice. “Sorry Princess, but I don’t take orders from you anymore,” Twilight did the opposite, she hurled Spike toward her and in desperation she caught Spike and set him down on the other side of the room. “And further more you aren’t the most powerful in all of Equestria, I am…..” Princess Celestia began to feel a magical grip around her throat, as she tried to look down she noticed that she was being lifted in the air, and could now begin to see the city that spread before her and the star lit sky as she began to feel like giving up. She saw a dark figure in the distance, flying towards them… “Now it’s time for your reign to come to an end, and for mine to begin.” “Die!” Princess Celestia began to struggle against Twilight magical death grip around her throat, trying to regain hope, now that she has seen a savior headed towards them, at break-neck pace. Twilight not noticing, conjured up a tiny dagger, and began her advance toward the Princess; she started toward her wings, that way she wouldn’t be able to fly and escape. With the dagger she began to sink the dagger into the flesh of her former mentor, oh how she loved the pain she caused Celestia. Cries of immense pain rang out from Princess Celestia, she couldn’t tell if it was from the dagger that was entering her body or was from the shock that Twilight intended to kill her. “Hmm I really enjoy cutting into your skin, maybe I will keep you as a pet instead, so I can torment you whenever I want!” Twilight squealed in delight and looked into the eyes of her new pet, this made Celestia cringe at the thought of being someponys pet and tortured whenever they felt necessary. More importantly this brought tears to her eyes, now her beloved Twilight was now a victim to dark magic and had the darkness in her heart to kill the one she once adored and take over all of Equestria. Her thoughts were interrupted by a dark figure sneaking up behind her tormentor. Twilight now sensing a presence around her, lights up her horn in defense and puts up a magical barrier to protect herself from danger. “Well you can’t sneak up on me, so you might as well come face to face with your new ruler.” Twilight said as she turned around to face the dark figure behind her. The moonlight revealed the dark figure as Princess Luna, who had her horn lit and her wings flared out to intimidate the self-proclaimed “New Ruler.” “New Ruler? What are you talking about? Who are you? And why do you seek harm upon my sister and all of Equestria ” Princess Luna commanded to the strange pony standing in front of her sliding a shiny steel blade into her elder sister. Her muscles were tense and her mind was racing with all these thoughts and all these questions. Luna’s main concern was; Why? Why would anypony go this far just to get what they wanted? Why was she hurting her sister? And last but not least, why was she trying to take over Equestria? Why? As the tormenter turned around Princess Luna nearly jumped up to the moon as she now found out that the tormenter was none other than Twilight Sparkle. “Surprised Luna? I thought you would be,” Twilight said with a light chuckle. “Now it is time for me to take what is rightfully mine…” “This land and soon the world.”
