Twilight stepped into the room and saw two collapsed walls, one gold and the other black. They were more like piles than anything else, but they appeared the same as when she saw what happened in her vision. She noticed a glowing staff-like weapon on a pedestal in the back of the room that floated and emitted black wisps of smoke. Everything was covered in scorch marks, and the windows were shattered.
Twilight let her friends view the room and walked over to the gold pile. She levitated each rock carefully and put them off to the side in order to free Sensei from the trap. When she saw his head from underneath the rocks she checked for his breathing. She heard the steady beat of his breath and went over to free Garmadon. She repeated the same steps and looked up to find Pinkie nearly touching the Mega-Weapon.
"Pinkie!" Twilight shouted. "No!"
"Shiny....." Was all Pinkie said as a response (?).
Twilight tried to run over to Pinkie to get her stop, but a rumble from one of the wall-rock half-piles interrupted her. Specifically, Garmadon's pile. She turned and saw Garmadon standing up with his horn beginning a spell. She watched as he stood up completely and levitated the Mega-Weapon toward him, slowly whispering a few words.
"No...... You...... Can't...... Touch...... It....." Garmadon said while heavily breathing. "You, you will perish. YOU WILL PERISH!"
Twilight backed away from Garmadon when she saw that his eyes glowed red after he yelled. 'This can't be good.' She thought. As she backed up her friends joined her in a small crowd that slowly got closer to the pedestal the Mega-Weapon was on before. The Mega-Weapon was currently surrounded with Garmadon's black-colored magic as it floated beside him, glowing with an immense power. 'Either Garmadon's going crazy, or he's going to use the Mega-Weapon! Or maybe even a bit of both, but he's more likely to use the Mega-Weapon.'
Twilight watched as the red glow in Garmadon's eyes got brighter, and his hold on the Mega-Weapon slowly turned into a manipulation spell. She saw the Mega-Weapon flash with the power of creation as Garmadon began to use it.
"I, I want to become more powerful than the Princesses of Equestria, just so Equestria can become mine!"
Twilight heard gasps come from some of her friends and all of the ponies from Ninjago (except Sensei, he's still unconscious) before a bright light filled the room and blinded them.
-------------
The light spread out from the Ancient Castle of the Royal Pony Sisters and around the Everfree Forest. It traveled to each corner of Equestria and the surrounding oceans. As the light passed over each city, pony, creature, plant, and anything useful, a piece of the light reached inside and took their most powerful trait.
The creatures of the Everfree Forest became weak little twigs, with the Pegasi above them falling due to them not being able to fly. Due to that, some of the creatures became unfortunate enough to break underneath the falling ponies. The plants became heavily unstable as the light slowly slithered around them. Each and every living thing within the borders of Equestria were falling and slowly getting weaker.
As it reached Canterlot, the light became brighter than three suns put together. Celestia, the Ninja, and the Mane 6 already had their greatest strength stolen; all that was left was the powerful Unicorns, Pegasi, and Earth ponies to have their powers taken. Even Princess Luna was getting her ability to control the night taken.
Everything was slowly falling apart. The peaceful society began to crumble into a different kind of chaos. One that made ponies and other animals go mad with the want to get what they had back. Once the light retracted back to Garmadon, the damage was done. Ponies that panicked easily riled everypony up and ended up causing others to fight with each other. Those fights became brutal, seeing as how they were all blind with a slowly-growing greed.
Garmadon could feel the powers rising within him as the evil rose. When he first entered Equestria, the evil died down and calmed him, causing his normally-red eyes to become a deep indigo color. He was calm and quiet, that is, until he slowly learned how to use magic, flight, and the powers of the earth as a pony. The evil he held down burst out of him like an explosion, and it was slowly taking over everything around him.
Garmadon could feel the power the Mega-Weapon brought him surging through his very being. The secrets and techniques of all Equestrians opened up to him, and he even had a hard time sorting through everything he gained. When he became tired from using the Mega-Weapon, he grinned and used a duplicate spell on himself. He directed all of his clones to travel across Equestria as a lookout and to report what was happening. All that was left to do was make sure that the Ninja and their friends didn't wake up and try to stop him.
'This is going to be the easiest takeover I've ever done.'
-------------
Twilight opened her eyes and found herself in a strange room. Weird, I wasn't here when Garmadon used the Mega-Weapon..... Wait, I HAVE TO GET BACK!' She thought as she began to panic. 'All of Equestria is in danger now! But where are the others?'
Twilight looked around to try and find her friends, but she didn't find anything except the walls of the strange room. It was then that she finally decided to look around the room and see where she was. The walls were light brown, while the ceiling and floor were the color of the sky. The ceiling and floor seemed to move whenever she looked somewhere, which was just an illusion. But the walls were very interesting. There were strange symbols written with black chalk that seemed to be telling a story or prophecy.
Twilight began to quickly translate the strange writing, but it was harder than ever before. Every symbol was from a different language, and whenever she would try to put the letters from the translated symbols together, something would wipe her mind blank. 'I can't seem to remember anything from my studies, I believe what's wiping my mind is magic.' She concluded before trying to clear any spells in the area. But her efforts were is vain, because her spell flickered out and died before she could cast anything.
'What? Let me try that again.' Twilight thought before casting the spell again. But it was worthless, seeing as how it ended in the same result. She tried multiple times after that, but each and every single time her spell fizzled away. 'No! How can my spells not work? And my mind is a complete blank whenever I try to remember my studies! What's going on?'
Suddenly the floor began shifting, as if there was a camera rotating around and being shown on a floor-screen. Twilight watched as Equestria came into view and zoomed in on some of the towns. The screen split into sections for each town, where chaos was happening. Ponies were fighting with each other and animals ran around and destroyed everything in sight.
Pulses of light emitted from the sky and things slowly turned darker and more chaotic. Waves of darkness shot down from the sky to meet every citizen of Equestria, and they began to look like the not-Celestia. Everything became grayer and posters began appearing on walls that depicted Garmadon on each one. The one thing Twilight noticed about them is that Garmadon had bright, glowing red eyes that seemed to follow everything that moved.
Twilight turned to the screen that showed the Everfree Forest and it zoomed in to the Ancient Castle of the Royal Pony Sisters. She could see both her and all of her friends pressed up against the wall with their eyes closed. Everypony seemed weaker than normal, and nopony moved. She saw Garmadon walking around with the Mega-Weapon, which emitted waves of light every couple of seconds.
Twilight saw the camera zoom back out before she turned away. 'Garmadon seems to be the only sane pony in Equestria right now that is actually awake.' She thought. 'I really need to get out of here, but how?' She then turned back to the screen, which no longer showed all of Equestria. The screen split off into twelve sections, one screen showing herself looking into the screen.
Twilight gasped when she saw the ponies in each of the screens. One pony per screen, but all held her friends. They were all awake, but some of them were looking into their own screens. The others were trying to break out of their rooms, but they all had the same fate as her. The ones that were looking into the screen could see her staring back at her.
'Well at least I know they're okay.' Twilight thought gratefully. 'But I don't think they can hear me, and they is still no way to get them out.'
Twilight then thought of an extremely crazy idea. Normal this wouldn't have worked, but she got herself prepared anyway. She lifted her front hooves and stood on her hind ones before crashing all of her strength onto the screen. She watched as the screen cracked and pieces of it fall into a dark abyss. She knew that her friends would get to where she was eventually, and dropped down below the room.
Twilight screamed as she fell, despite the fact that she knew that she was dreaming and that she was most likely going to be fine. There was nothing around her as she fell except the occasional shards of the screen in the room. However as she fell she saw something. She saw herself in front of a pentagon of lights. 'That's me in another dream.' She realized. 'Maybe all of my friends will see my other dream too and see what the other half of my dream was.'
After Twilight passed herself in another dream and couldn't see herself anymore, she began to panic. She couldn't see the bottom of the abyss, and if she COULD see it then that meant certain death. But the next surprise came when all of the shards from the room finally caught up to her. They all formed a cylinder shape around her and when they were both falling at the same speed, it activated.
First, the screen showed Twilight's friends. All of them were falling in their own abysses and some passed her dream. Next it showed Equestria and what happened to it. Garmadon was still in the Ancient Castle of the Royal Pony Sisters, but there were ponies all around him and listening to his orders. She could see Celestia and Luna tied up and hanging from the ceiling in a cage made of red and black-colored magic. 'He finally took over Equestria.' She sadly thought. 'Now we really have to wake up. But there's still no way out of here, so how is that going to be possible?'
Finally, as if the shards of the screen responded to Twilight's thoughts, they changed one last time. Now it showed a rainbow-colored vortex that had one had mostly red and the other mostly white. Without almost any hesitation she jumped into the vortex to see where it would lead.
-------------
Twilight exited the vortex to find herself falling, again. However she wasn't alone. To her right and a bit below her she could see Rainbow falling and trying to slow herself with her wings, which were smaller than usual and weaker. "Rainbow!" She called to her friend.
"Twilight?" Rainbow asked. "Is that you?"
"Yes, it's me." Twilight responded. "I went through a vortex and ended up here. I think some of our friends are doing the same thing so we can all gather up in one place."
"That's awesome!" Rainbow said. "But where's the vortex?"
"Well the shards from the screens in each of the rooms eventually catch up to you and show you some things before becoming a vortex." Twilight told Rainbow.
"Like right now?" Rainbow asked as shards began to circle around them.
"Yes, like now." Twilight answered as she went through the same thing as before. Soon enough the next vortex opened though, and it was only slightly different. It was still mostly rainbow-colored, but this time it had two different shades of blue standing out. She went inside the vortex with Rainbow following her so that they could find the next friend.
-------------
Each time Twilight went through the vortexes she collected another friend. Rainbow, Pinkie, Fluttershy, Applejack, and Rarity were found before they went through the last vortex. The last vortex was once again rainbow-colored, but magenta and green were the colors that stood out. She and her friends went through the vortex and found Lloyd with his friends waiting on the other side.
All of them were still falling, but this time there was a light at the bottom of the abyss. as all of them got closer, the light got larger until they realized that it was another vortex. This time, all of the colors were even and none of them stood out. They all fell through the last vortex to meet what was on the other side.
