Twilight's horn ignited in its normal magenta glow, seeing as she was back to her normal self, and she teleported the group right into the Starswirl The Bearded wing.  The doors to the room closed the second Twilight had teleported into it and then the doors locked from Twilight's magic.  After readying themselves, the group began casting the spell to enter the Spiritual Plane. White magic that seemed to whisper and held an evil aura around it began spinning around and through the five casters as they felt their hearts slowing. Soon, the world blurred around them and refocused in the Spiritual Plane.
The entire room had become a bedroom. The walls were made of bone with several pictures of Clover Leaf and Star Swirl side-by-side on them.  Several tapestries were hung around the room with some having Star Swirl's cutie mark and some having a version of Twilight's cutie mark without the star behind the primary one and with only four stars around the central one (Clover Leaf's cutie mark). The floor was black with several runes painted in yellow Unicorn blood and blue Dracorn blood seemingly placed at random intervals. The hour-glass in the center was made of bone with red tinted glass and black sand in it. There were two beds on opposite sides of the chamber with a few tables and night-stands scattered around the place. One bed had a blue star-pattern blanket while the other had a purple magic themed one. On a podium in-front of the hour-glass was a book with Clover's cutie mark on it and 'Dairy' written in purple lettering, there was a book-mark on one of the pages.
"That must be Clover's diary." Rainbow said through the Localized Hivemind.
"Thanks for the obvious." Twilight jokingly said as she levitated the diary over to her and flipped to the book-marked page.

Celestia... I never thought I'd see the day that I wrote that name down with only hatred in my heart. She lied to me, to Star Swirl, and to Princess Cadence. I've learned so many evil secrets of the so called 'fair ruler of the day'. I'm now awaiting my execution for replacing the real Clover, when I am the real Clover, because she's used some ancient spell to turn me into a Changeling. She's given me a day to remove all mention in my writings of the secrets I've learned. I'm not letting her keep these secrets, I've fed off everypony's love for several hours straight, now I'm going to weave a spell to allow any Unicorn, strong enough to find and read it, the ability to see flashes of the past that reveal these secrets, even if the secrets now pertains to another, this spell will show them. The spell is hidden within the fabric of the magic signature of this book, use it and reveal the lies the solar ruler has told us!!
With final good-byes
Clover Leaf

"Ready girls?" Twilight asked as she looked over to her friends, who all nodded. Twilight's horn began glowing in a mixture of light-blue magic and Changeling magic as she charged the spell, tuning her magic to match Clover's own. The magic began swirling around her horn as an ethereal wind picked up in the room. The area around the group began to distort from the magical pull as Dark Magic, Black Magic, and Nightmare Magic all joined the two magics around Twilight's horn. After another moment of silence, the aura grew tenfold and Twilight released her spell, casting them into darkness.
The girls found themselves in a plane of existence unknown to them, not far from their location was Princess Celestia and a past Twilight without wings. As her ascension, for this was what was about to happen, began, the past twilight's magic swirled around her, but soon green flames began spreading from her bottom hoofs to the tip of her horn, increasing her size and forming wings along her back. The group stared in shock at the obvious Changeling Magic.
The world blurred suddenly.
They were now all watching as the recently ascended past Twilight brushed her mane while looking in a mirror. Her eyes suddenly flashed purple and the scene froze, showing the magenta slitted eyes of a Changeling princess or queen, before returning to normal speed. "Hmm, what just happened?" the past Twilight asked herself before shrugging and going back to brushing her mane.
the world blurred again.
Midnight and Twilight instantly recognized where they had ended up, overseeing the chariot ride to Manehattan, though most of the conversation they had had was blurry.
"I've been studying Changelings for a while now. I started after seeing them during the Canterlot invasion. My interest, for some reason, grew when I became a princess." While the words from past Twilight were exactly the same, the last part seemed to hold a strong emphasis.
"Some changelings, separated from their hive at a young age, grow up not knowing that they were Changelings, but they always have a wish to learn everything about them." like with the past Twilight, the past Midnight spoke the same words she had at the time shown, but extra emphasis seemed to be applied to a part. A few incoherent words were spoken before the words became clear once more. "Y-yea, but for Changelings it's color usually changes with the disguise. I didn't bother using the more complex disguise spell to get the added effect."
the scene shifted.
They were now watching the scene from when Twilight had cast the spell to enter the Spiritual Plane to learn the real spell to do it. Everypony noticed that there was a lot of Changeling Magic mixed in with the spell gathering around her horn and several thin streams of emotion flowing off the others to her, both seamed far more vibrant and noticeable then they had been.
The next scene was of the group looking at the pages of an over-sized version of the Changeling History book that Twilight had read from the last time they had been in the castle.
'the True Metamorphosis Spell (a Changeling spell, one that's forbidden in most hives, that can turn anypony into a Changeling with or without their permission. The spell is irreversible.) and the Advanced Disguise Spell (a spell that allows a Changeling to take on a disguise that goes as deep as the blood and makes it nearly impossible to tell that the disguised Changeling is a Changeling at all. This spell is also unaffected by Changeling reveal spells of the normal variety.)'
The next scene was Their conversation with 'The Five Bladed Bat', AKA Fluttershy.
"I was told to give you hints, but leave the answer to be revealed at a later date as to add to the suspense, shock, and anger that it will bring. The first reason is the one that she used the Advanced Disguise Spell in, it was used to help increase her public image in a sense. This one has only had two victims so far, one far closer to you than you'd like to think."
Twilight suddenly released a spell she had been unaware was charging, an advanced reveal spell that could drop the disguise of an advanced disguise spell. Midnight winced at the feeling of such a powerful spell passing through her and was glad that she wasn't in disguise. Twilight felt the spell's effects as well and was engulfed in green flames. When the flames died down, her true form was revealed. Her carapace was dark lavender; her cutie mark was still present; her mane and tail were the same as before except more silk-like and with several holes; her hoofs had holes in them, she had the fangs of a princess or queen (about the size of a normal bat-pony's); her eyes were magenta with slitted pupils; her saddle carapace was the same color as her coat had been; her wings were like those of a queen's, but a little thinner, symbolizing a princess.
She looks beautiful Midnight thought the second she'd seen Twilight's real form, then she blushed at the thought.
"S-she turned me into a Changeling." Twilight was extremely shocked, and blushing inverted rainbow a little bit.
"Why are you and her blushing?" Rainbow asked as she looked at Midnight.
"I-I've been feeding o-off her emotions like I have the rest of you. Changelings can f-feed off each-other's emotions, but it's not food for them, it's kissing." Midnight said, her blush intensifying.
"Huh? We couldn't here you?" Aurora and Scootaloo said, they had been too busy watching the events that had unfolded to speak until now.
"She said that Changelings feeding off each other's emotions is basically them kissing." Rainbow said, having been able to here her from being around Fluttershy.
The world suddenly started shifting scenes rapidly. It started showing scenes of Celestia hunting Bat-ponies, Changelings, Nightmares, and Dracorns; turning Cadence during her ascension; turning Clover; cursing her sister; banishing her with an evil smile; turning several other ponies; turning some ponies to stone; and watching Twilight from afar, ensuring that she didn't turn against her.

Twilight, Midnight, Rainbow, Scootaloo, and Aurora opened their eyes after the scenes had stopped.
"She really did all that?" Rainbow Dash asked, trying to process all of it.
"A Time vision spell of that power is as true as possible, I can see why Clover fed off a lot of emotion before creating it." Twilight's voice had the familiar crackling sound in it again as her fiery other side began coming out.
"So, um... what does this mean between us since... you know?" Midnight's blush had returned.
"We'll talk about it later, I have a sister-in-law to visit and a Solar princess to confront." Twilight said as she started walking off. Her mane and tail regained their fire design, just with the holes in them remaining; her wings ignited, becoming pure flames that held an unnatural transparency; Her irises went blood-red, though the pupils stayed the same, only with a small fire in them; her carapace turned dark gold, the saddle carapace turning tan; her fangs seemed to sharpen even further; and her cutie mark changed to the version it had last time she had changed like this, only with a pair of Changeling Princess wings spreading out from behind the primary star and in-front of the star behind it.
Midnight couldn't even find the right words to describe how beautiful she thought Twilight was, though she did know one thing, she was definitely in-love, the thin pink aura around her made that clear, though only her and Twilight could possibly see it.
