//------------------------------// // Aftermath // Story: My Little Sunset: Magical Girl // by madhat886 //------------------------------// Aftermath - Sunset found herself sitting at a table with a government agent sitting at the other end. They say in a room with a one way mirror in it. She was taken from the school and first taken to the police station but was then picked up by some government agents. She has no idea where she is as she just stop caring. In one moment she had forever cut herself off from her world and left her here in this one. "Ms Shimmer," the man spoke to her getting her attention. "I would like to ask you some question about what happen at the school." "About what? That Changlings, bug like creatures of my world conquer my country of Equestria. And that my former teacher Celestia's pet phoenix, Philemena somehow managed to get the Elements of Harmony and somehow got the mirror that should have only open every thirty moons, and it shouldn't have happen for another two months. And five of the Changlings followed him to this world. And instead of turning into humans like, I did when I first came here. They became hornet like humans instead and attack the school. The leader of the Changlings stab me and the only reason why, I'm even alive is because Dash managed to get the crown on me. Transforming me into a magical girl letting me use magic once again. Letting me kill all of them and ending up in front of the portal. Where, I got to meet the Changling Queen and talk with my former teacher for the last time, before I destroyed the portal?" Sunset ask. "Let us talk about your race," the agent said. "I'm a unicorn before coming to this world and, I was transformed into a human. There are 4 types of ponies, Earth Ponies, Pegasus, Unicorns, and Alicorns who are a blend of all three. All of us can use magic, the Earth Ponies are the strongest and able to use earth magic to make plants grow. Pegasus can fly and control the weather of my world. Unicorns like myself are the most gifted in magic, channeling it using our horns. There are only two alicorns in my world from what, I know. Celestia and Cadance both of whom are far more powerful then any unicorn in terms of magic. Cadance has the power to make anyone fall in love, while Celestia has the power to raise and lower the sun and the moon. She is also the sole ruler of my country of Equestria. But from my studies here have taught me, it might be that all she did and the unicorns before her was rotate the planet. You also should know that unlike here there are plenty of sentient races on my world. Cows, donkeys, zebras, griffens, and others can all talk and think like my race. I can only imagine what the other countries are doing now that the Changlings have taken over," Sunset said. "What do you know about the Changlings?" the man ask. "From what, I remember they're bug like ponies in my world. No one knows where they came from but ever since they appeared, they have invaded several kingdoms in the past. They feed off of love and place anyone they catch into green pods to trap them in a never ending dream. So they can feed upon them while keeping them alive. They can shape shift into anyone if the body mass isn't too different. They have always been lead by Queen Chrysalis. Other then that, I don't know much about them or remember much, no one actually does any real research on them as they just appear and disappear," Sunset said. "The portal. Can it be reopen?" the man ask. "I remember enough to know that a massive release of magic in front of any portal destroys both ends of it. To open a portal to this world again, the Changlings are going to have to make a brand new portal. It would take much magic and knowledge that can't be easily be found. But of course since the Changlings have taken over, the libraries and the vaults that held the most dangerous of magical items and knowledge would be easily found by the Changlings now," Sunset explains. "How hard would it be to make a new one?" the man ask. "The one of made it was a unicorn name Star Swirl the Breaded. He was the greatest wizard that had ever lived in my world. His talent was in creating magical spells and items, everything related to magic is base on his research. And all of his personal books and journals are kept in the royal vault that the Changlings would have broken into by now," Sunset said. "I don't know how long it will take but, I'm sure by forcing some powerful unicorns to work on it, they'll have a new one sooner or later. Of course that is depending on if Queen Chrysalis wants to conquer this world too." "All you did was buy us time then," the man said. "That or that's it and the Changlings stay in my world," Sunset said. "That be all," the man said as he left the room. Sunset sat there and waited wondering what will happen from here. She didn't had to wait for long as a woman in uniform came into the room. Sunset saw it's Rainbow Dash's mother Spitfire who is a Lieutenant Colonel in the airforce. She has seen her from time to time around the school but her work kept her away most of the time. (1) "Hello Sunset," Spitfire said as she sat down and place a folder on the table. "Been watching me?" Sunset ask. "Yes, I have. The brass thought that talking with me would be easier since we have met before," Spitfire said as she opens the folder. "We dug around and found where you have been living all of this time. A abandon store that you have been living in since, I would guess since you got here. We also found items that have been reported stolen and other things that you have been selling to make money." "I did what, I had to do to survive. I only enrolled in the school for a place to eat and has running water. And to use the showers there," Sunset said admitting the bleak living conditions she's been living that she hid from her classmates. "Right now the government heads are at a lost in what to do with you," Spitfire said. "Let me guess they want to send me to a research center and study me. I seen the movies," Sunset said. "We have already studying the bodies of those Changlings and you're the only one here who has the information we need. As you said if the Changlings want to conquer my world they would have to make a new portal. With your fellow students posting everything online, it's all over the net. All the other countries are now in a panic," Spitfire said as she doesn't want to think about what some of those countries wanted to do with Sunset. Not to mention the shadowy agencies in this one. "It's much harder to keep things under the rug these days," Sunset said. "Sunset the brass would like you to work with us in preparing for the return of the Changlings if they do come," Spitfire said. "And that they would like to learn if others can use magic," Sunset said as her hands glowed a shade of light blue like her eyes lifting the folder up from the table. "So tell me why haven't you used magic before till now?" Spitfire ask as she grabs the folder. "I couldn't before. The magic fields of this world are all but dead. I was shock that the magical field of this world which is like a muscle was so anorexic and underused. Magic users can't draw magic from nowhere, it has to be taken from magical fields. The strongest magic field, is in Ponyvile. From what, I guess if magic leaking through the mirror. That's why, I stayed in the town as, I hoped that one day be able to use magic again. All, I have been able to do is detect magic. Since, I have become the barer of the element of magic, I now have my magic return. But right now it's nothing more then parlor tricks. I would have to exercise the magical field here to make it strong," Sunset explained. "So in other words the crown has recharged your batteries," Spitfire said. "Yes," Sunset said. "Can magic be used for other things?" Spitfire ask. "I guess but, I really didn't pay attention to things like that. But, I do know that some of the power that lights our cities comes from magic," Sunset said. "Sunset will you be willing to work with us?" Spitfire ask. The brass wanted to avoid any bad P.R. as Sunset face is quickly becoming well known and it would look bad for her government is she just disappeared. "Just like in the Avengers," Sunset said having seen the movie. "Well are there are more magic users out there?" Spitfire ask. "I destroyed the other elements so using them to make more magical girls is out of the question. The crown won't work on just anyone. The elements only work for those who best represent what the element stands for. Magic which thanks to my strong magic connection worked for me. The other elements were, Honesty, Kindness, Laughter, Generosity, and Loyalty. They would have only worked for someone who is strong in one of those elements. Someone who is very loyal would have been able to use the element of loyalty and so on with the others. So the only way anyone would be able to use the crown is if they have strong magic in them. Which in this world magic is nothing more then a fairy tale," Sunset said. "I see," Spitfire said then thought of something. "Sunset from what, I understand is that if, I went to your world, I would become a pony. So tell me have ever seen humans before you first came here?" "No when, I first came here, I saw humans for the first time. The closest thing to a human that, I can remember is found in an old book written long before my country of Equestria was founded. I was young at the time but, I do remember some of it. There was a great evil who wanted to to bring a night that will last forever. The ponies of that time seek help from a being from another world over a bridge of light and found a young girl. The picture that, I saw was that of a strange creature. It was like a mostly bald, hornless minotaur that, I know now is the drawing of a human. She wielded a powerful weapons called the rainbow of light," Sunset explains. "A human visited your world long ago?" Spitfire ask. "Do you remember the name of the human?" "Her name was Megan Williams," Sunset said.
