The Encounter
"Oh for Pete’s sake, girls would you quit that shouting?” Twilight stopped and looked around. She recognized that area as the old castle of the Princesses. She looked over and saw that black cloud again. The Preludes of Chaos were swirling around the cloud as they had always been. Twilight got a grip of herself. “Who are you?” The red eyes looked at her again. “Like I said before, It does not matter who I am. However YOU, I find very interesting.” The cloud floated up to her. “Impressive, passing the Trials of the Temple.” The cloud circled around the girls. “But the question remains. Can you USE them?” Twilight gulped. “Of course!”
The black cloud floated back to the platform. “Show me.” Twilight was struck off guard by such an attitude, but focused again. “Alright girls. Formation!” The girls lined up in a line. “Let’s show him what we’re made of!” They all closed their eyes. Energy began to radiate off the necklaces of the girls. Then brilliant columns of light shot up into the sky, and a brilliant rainbow of energy came rumbling towards the black cloud. The black cloud simply chuckled, and adjusted the orbit of the Preludes. The rainbow crashed down. But instead of inflicting a serious injury, the rainbow broke the moment it came in touch with Preludes, splashing outward and losing power like pouring water onto dirt.
Twilight was taken aback by the result. “How...?” The cloud laughed a dark laugh. “Did you not read the diary? Such a simple blast might deal with the likes of Discord and Nightmare Moon, but these are the Preludes of Chaos we’re talking about.” Then the cloud swirled into a twister, taking the Preludes in. Lightning flashed, and suddenly the cloud disappeared.
