Total Eclipse

The Final Element

Seeing as we kept the four presents from the party, excluding Fluttershy's element, we decided to open the rest up. We had lotion, shoes, a dress, and a whole box full of lipstick. While none of it was any good for me, I know my big sister would love this kind of stuff.

"Hey girls, good news, we're down to the last element, after this, we're off to Nightmare Moon!"

"And getting your sister back!" Twilight said. "You should probably check the map to see where my element is."

Rarity said, "There's no need to darling, I already found it!"

Rarity pointed her hoof to a poster of The Amazing Ludere. It wasn't until we saw on top of his head that we started laughing. Instead of a normal magician's top hat, he wore, you guesses it, Twilight's element of magic. Conveniently, the address for the show was under the poster, so I just tore the poster from the wall wall and followed the directions.

As soon as we found the darn place we had several problems. The lines were HUGE, tickets were way too expensive, and thanks to me being the million dollar boy, there was going to be absolutely no chance of me getting through the front doors without being recognized.

"Twilight, can you teleport us to the show, we need to get the element!"

"I'm not sure I can take everypony maybe if I take off the invisibility spell, then it might work I caould take one besides myself."

"Then I'll go with you Twilight, I have a feeling that it's going to get pretty chaotic in there. Meanwhile, the rest of you guys stay out here, just in case we need any help."

"And how will we know that?" Pinkie asked.

"You'll probably hear a lot of screams."

With that, I held Twilight's hoof and went inside the theater.

Inside, Twilight and I made a game plan she would fly to the catwalk, and after the show, both of us would confront Ludere. But as I sat in the audience with my hood on, a single thought entered my head, why am I waiting? I can get the element, and save my sister right now! Forget waiting!

I stand up and shout, "You, Ludere, you're a fake!"

The entire audience gasped.

"Oh, am I?" Ludere rebutted. "Well then, come over here and prove it."

As I got to the stage, I said, "All the evidence I need is about to drop on, Twilight!"

Nada.

"Once again, Twilight!"

Still nothing.

"Look kid, I don't have time for this, if you could-"

At that moment, Twilight came to the stage, and by came, I meant fell to the ground. It seemed like Twilight wasn't having the best time with flight.

"Ohmygosh! Twilight! Are you okay!"

"I'm...I'm fine, just had a rough landing. Anyways, what happened to the plan!"

"I got bored! Besides I don't think that this is really the right time to talk about this!"

Ludere seemed shocked, though he quickly asked, "Is that a unicorn?"

"Alicorn!" Twilight and I say at the same time.

"Well no matter, since the great and powerful Ludere is still better than you!"

As soon as I heard, great and powerful, I immediately looked at Twilight, and by her face I could tell she was reminded of a certain Great and Powerful pony back in Equestria.

Ludere was now levitating across the stage, "The amazing Ludere can do anything he pleases!" The theater became darker. storm clouds came in from nowhere, the audience was pleased with this but I sure wasn't! As Ludere started levitating, he challenged me, "With Ludere's powers, you shall-"

"Twilight." I say anxiously.

"On it!"

And just like that, Twilight took her crown off Ludere's head using a simple spell. I felt bad for the guy, because as soon as Twilight took her element from him, the poor Ludere fell to the ground, hard.

Groggily, Ludere said, "Congratulations, you have bested me, but now, I must see the face of the man who defeated me !"

"Wait! No no no!"

Before I could react, Ludere pulled down my hood. I knew there was no way he wasn't going to recognize me, so with nothing else to do, I slowly wave to him.

"It's him! It's the million dollar boy!"

"Twilight, we've gotta go, the audience is starting to climb the stage!"

And I wasn't lying when I said they were, the whole audience was rushing to grab me and claim the prize for their own, they were kind of like the zombies from World War Z, and I didn't want to find out what happened if they got me. So Twilight and I teleported to where the rest of the girls were.

"What in tarnation is goin on in there?!?" Applejack shouted as Twilight and I ran towards them.

"See! I told you! Just start running!" I shouted. No sooner than I said that did the doors of the theater open and the crowd started chasing us.

The chase was on!

"Who are they?" Applejack asked as we ran through the streets.

"They want me because of the bounty on my head!"

Suddenly, from out of nowhere, another mob joined in, they all looked familiar somehow, then I remembered!

"Who are those people!" Twilight asked.

"They want Rarity! Somehow they found us and now they want her to make more designs!"

"Oh my, I'm so flattered!"

"Remember though, they're looking for me because I was in the competition!"

"Drat!"

As we ran through the city, we were blocked off by some protesters holding up signs. Their signs read:

Join the Lunar Republic!

Nightmare Moon will reign supreme!

The Night shall last forever!

To my horror I realized that those people weren't protesters, their signs said much differently.

"You gotta be kidding me." I groan to myself.

It was the bronies. Shoot, i was hoping i wasn't going to pass through them.

"Who are they!" Rainbow Dash asked. The bronies all gasped.

"Ummm...let's just say that these people know of your existence and really want to meet you guys."

"Should we run to the left?"

"I'd strongly advise it." I whisper, then speaking aloud i shouted, "Hey! look behind you! Umm... Nightmare Moon!"

Believe it or not, they believed me, as they turned, i motioned to the girls to start running, so that gave us an advantage. So now we had bounty hunters, fashonistas, and bronies all in hot pursuit of us. But none of them even came close to the next group that we ran into. Even though there were only three people in the group, they all terrified me.

"Who ar-"

"IT'S MY FAMILY!!! RUN IF YOU WANT TO LIVE!!!!"

They said something, but the huge mob blocked off anything I could hear from them. As fast as we were, we found ourselves in a dead end, no way out. I thought for sure we were goners, the mob closing in on us, but right at the last second, a portal opened up, it was our only way out, we had no choice, so with hesitation, we jumped into the portal.

Nightmare Moon wasn't done with us. Not yet.
