//------------------------------// // Magical Mystery Cure Part 2 (Twilight's Ascension) // Story: The Tale of the Second Alpha // by Bergen //------------------------------// A few hours later Spike walked into Twilight's room, looking to see if she had gotten any better from the last time he had seen her. "Twilight... are you ok?" Spike asked her. "Yeah, I'm fine." Twilight said to Spike, taking her head out of her pillow. An idea coming to her mind "I've got it! I know what to do!" Twilight said excitedly, hoping out of her bed. "You do?" Spike asked Twilight, hope in his words.I may not be able to remind them of who they are, but I can show them what they mean to each other. They'll find the part of themselves that's been lost so they can help the friend they care about so much! Come on, Spike! "I may not be able to remind them of who they are, but I can show them what they mean to each other. They'll find the part of themselves that's been lost so they can help the friend they care about so much! Come on, Spike!" Twilight said to Spike, running out of the library. Ready to enact her plan. "Fluttershy, wait!" Twilight called to Fluttershy, the yellow Pegasus waiting for a train heading toward her original home of Cloudsdale. "Oh... Hey, Twilight..." Fluttershy said a little defiantness. "Where are you going?" Twilight asked Fluttershy. I'm moving back to Cloudsdale. I don't know what's wrong, but I can't seem to make "I'm moving back to Cloudsdale. I don't know what's wrong, but I can't seem to make anypony laugh." Fluttershy said, a pink whoopee cushion deflating in her hooves. "Before you go, I was wondering if you might be willing to help Rainbow Dash. She's really struggling with her animals." Twilight asked Fluttershy, a look of confusion coming to Fluttershy's face. "But... I don't really know anything about animals..." Fluttershy said to Twilight, well shyly. "But you do know something about Rainbow Dash." Twilight said to Fluttershy, putting the yellow pegasus into deep thought.. "I... know that she's a true friend, and I'll do anything I can to help her." Fluttershy said with determination in her voice. The two friends arrived at the small cottage on the outskirts of town, ready to help Rainbow Dash with her little animal problem. "Whoa!" The muffled cries of Rainbow Dash came from the small cottage. "Rainbow Dash!" Twilight called to Rainbow, running up to the wooden door. "I'm in here! Help! I'm trapped!" Rainbow called from inside the house. Twilight and Fluttershy burst into the cottage. Rainbow being tied up in rope by her own animals. The animals ready to cook her. "Damn, I thought this was a show made for little girls." "Hurry, Twilight! Can't you do some sort of spell to get her out?" Fluttershy asked Twilight, panic in her voice. "No. Fluttershy, you're the only one who can help! Rainbow Dash needs you!" Twilight said to Fluttershy, hoping that her plan would work. "Um... Hello? Little... woodland creatures? I know that you're all very upset and feel like giving Rainbow Dash a hard time, but we'd all really appreciate it if you'd calm down and, um, maybe... rest for a bit? Oh! Uh... look! Here's some nice, juicy leaves for you to munch on. And some crunchy, munchy acorns too. Uh, wouldn't you like to take a break and have a little snack?" Fluttershy said to the woodland animals. Giving each of them small pieces of food. The animals accepted Fluttershy's offer and began to start eating the food. "Aww, look at that. I guess you were all just cranky because you were hungry. Oh, you are very welcome, little friends." Fluttershy said, earning a hug from a large bear. "Goodness, it's like I can understand them! I... I feel strange, like... like this is what I'm meant to do, like this is who I am! My destiny!" Fluttershy said, her body beginning to glow as she rediscovered her true destiny. Twilight, seeing this, used her magic to place the Element of Kindness around Fluttershy's neck. The memories of her past returning to her, the Element of Kindness regaining its pink color. "Wha... what happened?" Fluttershy said in confusion, rubbing the top of her head. "Fluttershy, look! Your cutie mark!" Twilight exclaimed, pointing at the yellow pegasus' flank. Fluttershy's cutie mark returning to its original three pink butterflies. "It worked! It worked! Oh, I'm so happy you're back to normal!" Twilight exclaimed, a little surprised that her plan actually worked. "Now we need your help." Twilight said to Fluttershy. Recruiting Fluttershy in her plan to get her friend's cutie marks back. "A true, true friend helps a friend in need To see the light that shines from a true, true friend." Twilight and Fluttershy began to sing at the same time. "Um, hello? Friend trapped inside, remember?" Rainbow called out to her friends. Fluttershy helped untie Rainbow Dash, as she began her part to get Rainbow Dash's cutie mark back. "Rarity needs your help." She's trying hard, doing what she can." Twilight sang to Rainbow. Showing the chaotic weather that Rarity had created. The white unicorn not the right pony for the job of weather control. Would you try, just give it a chance You might find that you'll start to understand." Fluttershy added, Rainbow kicking one of the gray rain clouds out of the sky. Rainbow, however, didn't stop there with her easily clearing the clouds. "A true, true friend helps a friend in need A friend will be there to help you see A true, true friend helps a friend in need To see the light that shines from a true, true friend." Twilight and Fluttershy sang at the same time, as Rainbow cleared the skies. Her beginning to glow in a red aura of magic. Twilight based the Element of Loyalty around Rainbow's neck. Rainbow's memories returning to her, along with her lightning bolt cutie mark, and the Element of Loyalty's red color. "Um... what just happened?" Rainbow asked Twilight, as she regained her memories. "There's no time to explain, but we need your help. Applejack is trying to make dresses." Twilight explained to Rainbow. "Say no more!" Rainbow said to Twilight, accepting her mission to help Rarity regain her destiny. "Applejack needs your help She's trying hard, doing what she can Would you try, just give it a chance You might find that you'll start to understand" Rainbow sang to Rarity. Rainbow convinces Rarity to help Applejack at Carousel Boutique. "A true, true friend helps a friend in need A friend will be there to help them see A true, true friend helps a friend in need To see the light that shines from a true, true friend." Twilight, Fluttershy, and Rainbow Dash sang at the same time, as Rarity began to create beautiful dresses. Her white coat glowing in purple magic aura. Twilight than placed the Element of Generosity around her neck, her memories returning to her. Along with her tri diamond cutie mark, and the Element of Generosity's purple color. "Oh my, what a terrible dream I had. Or, maybe I'm still having it." Rarity said in confusion. "Rarity, Pinkie Pie is about to lose the apple farm. We need Applejack's help!" Twilight explained to Rarity. Lose the apple farm? Well we can't let that happen, now can we." Rarity said, giving a knowing look to Applejack. "Pinkie Pie is in trouble We need to get there by her side We can try to do what we can now For together we can be her guide." Rarity sang to Applejack. Urging her to help Pinkie Pie at Sweet Apple Acres. "A true, true friend helps a friend in need A friend will be there to help them see A true, true friend helps a friend in need To see the light that shines from a true, true friend." Twilight, Fluttershy, Rainbow, and Rarity all sang at the same time. As Applejack regained her destiny by helping Pinkie Pie taking care of Sweet Apple Acres. Her body glowing in an aura of orange magic. Twilight than placed the Element of Honesty around her neck, her memories along with her three red apple cutie mark returning to her. Along with the orange color of the Element of Honesty. " Yee-haw! Now that's more like it! What's next?" "The townspeople are furious. We need the old Pinkie Pie back." Twilight explained to Applejack. The townsfolk of Ponyville about ready to tear each other apart. "I'm on it. I know just the thing." Applejack said, an idea as to how to get Equestria's number one party pony back. "The townspeople need you They've been sad for a while They march around, face a-frown And never seem to smile And if you feel like helpin' We'd appreciate a lot If you'd get up there and spread some cheer From here to Canterlot." Applejack sang as she carried Pinkie Pie through Ponyville. The citizens of the town all on edge without their party pony. Applejack then placed a pair of fake glasses on Pinkie's head and pushed her in front of the fountain that was in the center of town. Pinkie's body glowing in a pink aura of magic. Twilight then placed the Element of Laughter around her neck, Pinkie's memories all returning to her. Along with her puffy mane, tri balloon cutie mark, and the blue color of the Element of Laughter. "Come on ponies, I wanna see you SMILE!" Pinkie exclaimed, the sounds of party cannons behind her. "PINKIE!" The townsfolk of Ponyville cried out. Their famous party pony returning to full form. "A true, true friend helps a friend in need A friend will be there to help them see A true, true friend helps a friend in need To see the light! (To see the light!) That shines! (That shines!) From a true, true friend!" The Mane Si, along with most of the citizens of Ponyville sang. All of Twilight's friends rediscovering their destinies with the help of their purple unicorn friend. "A mark of one's destiny, singled out alone, fulfilled." Twilight's voice echoed to herself as she rethought the spell that had switched her friend's cutie marks in the first place. "Wait a second, that's it! I understand now! I know how to fix the spell!" Twilight gasped, coming to realization as to how to fix the spell by Starswirl the Bearded. Over in the treehouse library, Twilight along with her friends were standing in the mane room of the library. Standing in front of the wooden pedestal, Twilight in the middle surrounded on all sides by her five friends, that held the notebook by Starswirl the Bearded. "From all of us together, together we're friends. With the marks of our destinies made one, there is magic without end!" Twilight said out loud, as she finished the spell by Starswirl the Bearded. There was a small moment of silence, only to be broken as five beams shot out of the Elements of Harmony, one for each Element of Harmony. The five beams all collided in the middle of the room, pointing directly at Twilight. Twilight was consumed by the five beams, vanishing in a flash of magical light. Leaving nothing but a star shaped, similar to Twilight's cutie mark, scorch mark on the wooden ground of the library. All of Twilight's friends gasped in horror as it seemed, at least to them that they had killed their friend. Killing their friend by way of disintegration. Over in Canterlot, the night sky was instantly broken by the flash of a blinding light coming from Ponyville. More specifically coming from the treehouse library in Ponyville. "She did it." Celestia said in satisfaction from her throne room. "I never doubt that she couldn't dear sister." Luna said to Celestia, slightly flattering her older sister. "Thank you Luna." Celestia thanked Luna, climbing down from the top of the throne that she shared with her sister. "Wish me luck Luna, there is still no guarantee that Twilight will react nicely to her new title." Celestia said to her little sister. The white alicorn's horn beginning to glow with her golden magic. "You won't need it my dear sister." Luna said as Celestia vanished in a flash of the same blinding light that had transported Twilight earlier that night. When Twilight opened her eyes she had been transported to a completely different dimension from Equestria. Almost as if she was if some sort of heaven if you will. "Hello? Where am I? What is this place?" Twilight said in confusion, her body hovering in the strange blue star filled void. "Congratulations, Twilight. I knew you could do it." Celestia said her voice echoing, joining Twilight in the heavenly void. Twilight coming to a rest in front of her mentor. "Princess... I don't understand. What did I do?" Twilight asked Celestia, raising to her hooves. "You did something today that's never been done before. Something even a great unicorn like Star Swirl the Bearded was not able to do, because he did not understand friendship like you do. The lessons you've learned here in Ponyville have taught you well. You have proven that you're ready, Twilight." Celestia said to Twilight, the purple unicorn slightly blushing from her mentor's comment. "Ready? Ready for what?" Twilight asked Celestia, as the void around her began to warp into images of her many adventures since she had moved to Ponyville. "You've come such a long, long way And I've watched you from that very first day To see how you might grow To see what you might do To see what you've been through And all the ways you've made me proud of you." Celestia said in a singalong tone.l As the images of Twilight's past played for her. "It's time now for a new change to come You've grown up and your new life has begun To go where you will go To see what you will see To find what you will be" Celestia sang to Twilight, opening up her massive wings, and raising into the sky. For it's time for you to fulfill your destiny." Celestia sang landing back on the ground, as a small purple dot of magical energy escaped from Twilight's chest. The small ball of magic then whipped around Twilight, lifting her up into the air. Twilight was then consumed by the purple magic. The magic transporting her back to Ponyville. Twilight ready to start the next chapter in her life. Peaceful night of Ponyville was broken by the sudden arrival of the blinding light coming from a large six pointed star in the middle of the sky. The star being able to be seen from all across Equestria, and even beyond. All of Twilight's friends were standing outside the library when the star appeared, them having to shield their eyes from the blinding light. A look of confusion and awe plastered on their faces as the star began to descend toward the ground. As the star descend toward the ground the star warped into the body of Twilight. "Twilight... is that you?" Applejack asked the purple unicorn, shielding her eyes with her hat. The blinding light still coming from Twilight's body. Twilight then stood up, and to everypony's surprise, two above average feathered wings unfurled from Twilight's back. Twilight's body seeming to glow from her newly acquired appendages. An unanimous gasp of both shock and awe came from Twilight's friends as they stared at her the newly created alicorn. "I've never seen anything like it." Applejack commented, as Twilight examined her newly acquired wings. "Ha! Twilight's got wings! Awesome! A new flying buddy!" Rainbow exclaimed, breaking into a small fit of laughter. "Why, you've become an Alicorn. I didn't even know that was possible." Rarity commented. "Really Rarity, you didn't know. Ugh... I know that this is a touching moment, but go back and read chapter eight and tell me that Rarity wasn't an alicorn. Have you read it? Ok good... sorry I just had to call this line out. Anyway back to the story at hoof." "Alicorn party!" Pinkie screamed. Pinkie with a pair of wooden wings and a fake horn on her head, while blowing a party kazoo. All of Pinkie's friends just shrug off her actions. Them becoming more than used to her antics by this point. "Wow... You look just like a princess!" Fluttershy commented. "That's because she is a princess." Princess Celestia said, taking everypony by surprise. "HUH!?" The Mane Six questioned as one. "A... A princess?" Twilight mumbled in shock, barely able to comprehend what her mentor had just told her. "Since you've come to Ponyville, you've displayed the charity, compassion, devotion, integrity, optimism, and of course, the leadership of a true princess." Celestia explained to Twilight, only adding to Twilight's shock. "But... does this mean I won't be your student anymore?" Twilight asked Celestia. "Not in the same way as before. I'll still be here to help and guide you, but we're all your students now, too. You are an inspiration to us all, Twilight." Celestia said to Twilight. The white alicorn bowing to her former student. Celestia's actions quickly followed by all of Twilight's friends also bowing to the the newly crowned purple alicorn. "But... what do I do now? Is there a book about being a princess I should read?" Twilight asked Celestia, still in a state of shock over becoming the fourth princess in Equestrian history. "There will be time for all of that later." Celestia said with a slight giggle. Over in the Dragon Empire all was quiet until the night sky was light up by the blinding light of the giant six pointed star in the middle of the sky. Alpha was currently sleeping on top of the flattened dormant volcano that had been turned into the capital city of the Dragon Empire. Alpha's eyes shuttered open as a response to the blinding light. Alpha raising his massive head off of the dirt ground. "Alpha what is that?" Sigma asked his mentor, still half asleep. "I don't know Sigma, but I have a sneaking suspicious as to what." Alpha said, beginning to open up his massive wings. "Alpha... where are you going?" Sigma asked Alpha, as his mentor began to raise to his full height. "Get Theta. I will explain everything later." Alpha said to Sigma, who bowed to his mentor in response. "Of course Alpha." Sigma said to Alpha, taking off down the mouth of the cave that cut through the volcano. Looking for the cave that Theta had shared with Zulu. "Theta!" Sigma roared, bursting into the large cave that Theta shared with Zulu. The large cave was large enough to hold three teenage dragons and had tons of gems of all different colors sticking out of its dirt walls. Theta instanting jumped, literally, out of his sleep. Theta hitting his head on the ceiling of the cave. Zulu also jumped into action, using his magic to trigger his warp blade on his right foreleg. The green magic/fire blade crackling to life. "Sig... what is it?" Theta asked his brother, rubbing his temple with his claws. "Something is happening in Equestria, and Alpha needs the both of us. Right now!" Sigma roared to Theta, running out of the cave. "What was that all about?" Zulu asked Theta, his warp blade returning to its original state as just a metal band around Zulu's foreleg. "I don't know Zulu, but I do intend to find out." Theta said to Zulu, running out of the cave after his brother. "I'm not missing this." Zulu said more to himself, as his galloped after Theta. "What is going on, Alpha?" Theta asked his mentor, when he and Zulu reached the flattened roof of the volcano. "We must go to Canterlot." Alpha said to his two apprentices, not seeming to notice the presence of Zulu. "Wait... why?" Sigma asked Alpha. "I believe that we might have an royal in our midsts." Alpha said staring off toward Equestria, the strange star having set across the sky a few minutes earlier. "Wait... what?!" Theta and Sigma said as one. The next day all of Canterlot was a buzz at the news of the coronation of the newest Princess of Equestria, Princess Twilight Sparkle. "Are you going to the coronation?" Minuette asked her friends, as they spelt their usual Saturday in the Canterlot cafe. The ponies being strangely absent one member, that member being Moon Dancer. "Of course I'm going M. I am the mane party planner of the castle, and I think the coronation of the latest Princess is the biggest party in Equestria's recent memory." Lemon Hearts said to the blue unicorn, her words burning with sarcasm. "Sorry guys... I'm sorry I'm late." Moon Dancer said bursting into the cafe. The grayish-yellow unicorn doing her best to recapture her breathe. "It's alright Moon." Twinkleshine said to Moon Dancer, accepting her apology. "So Moon, are you going to the coronation?" Twinkleshine asked Moon Dancer, her words filled with excitement. "What coronation?" Moon Dancer asked, a look of confusion on her face. "Wait... do you not know what happened last night?" Lemon Hearts asked Moon Dancer. "No..." Moon Dancer responded, not sure what to say. "Come on Moon, we will show you what happened last night." Lemon Hearts said, raising from her chair. Taking Moon Dancer hoof, and practically dragging her out the cafe. The four ponies heading toward the white castle that towered over the city. Moon Dancer about to get a massive wake up call. Inside the castle that towered over the city of Canterlot. Twilight was getting ready for her coronation. "Are you sure that this isn't a little to much, Rarity?" Twilight asked Rarity, looking over her coronation dress. Twilight's dress was a pink dress with a white train, and a yellow sash. Twilight wearing small golden shoes on her hooves, her cutie mark in the center. The dress having two holes in her back for her newly acquired wings. "Of course not darling. This is the most important day of your life, and you must look your best during it." Rarity said, helping her friend get ready for her coronation within the hour. "And I am here to make sure that you are going to look your best. Now hold still." Rarity said to Twilight, putting the final touches on the alicorn's dress. "There..." Rarity said finishing twilight's dresses, taking a few steps backwards to admire her hoofy work. "Oh... Twilight you look beautiful." Rarity said, small tears beginning to form in her blue eyes. "Thank you Rare, but I don't think I'm that pretty." Twilight said, a small blush forming on her face. "Oh don't be so modest, Twilight." Rarity said to Twilight as the door to the dressing room the two friends were was opened. Princess Cadence striding into the room. The pink alicorn was wearing a light blue dress that seemed to be made out of crystals. Her mane was done up in a unique brand that was filled with many different gems. "I hope I'm not interrupting, but would you mind if I could have a few moments with my sister-in-law." Cadence said to Rarity. "Of course not you highness." Rarity said giving the pink alicorn a bow, before continuing. "I need to get dressed anyway. I have the most gorgeous dress for the occasion." Rarity said turning to leave the room. "I wish the best of luck Princess Twilight." Rarity said to Twilight, leaving the room. Cadence closing the door as Rarity left. Cadence turned back toward Twilight, her natural warm smile leaving her muzzle as she saw the look of disappointment on her sister-in-law's face. "Twilight, are you alright?" Cadence asked Twilight. "Yeah... I'm fine." Twilight said, turning away from the pink alicorn in order to hide a small sniffle under her breathe. "Are you sure?" Cadence asked Twilight, placing a hoof on the purple alicorn's shoulder. Twilight turning her head to face Cadence, small tears beginning to form in her purple eyes. "I just... I just don't know what to do." Twilight said looking at the full height mirror in the room. Her imaging a small crown on her head. "I mean... just yesterday Princess Celestia was my mentor and I was just her student. Now I'm something I never thought I would be to her." Twilight said, her words coming to stop. Her words seeming to form a knot in her throat. "What Twilight?" Cadence asked Twilight. "I never thought... I never thought that I would be... her peer." Twilight said, tears beginning to flow from her eyes. "Twilight, look at me." Cadence said. Twilight slowing turned her head toward her sister-in-law. "I went through the exact same thing that you are going through right now." Cadence said to Twilight, her warm smile returning to face. "Now wipe away those tears. This is your coronation, and you should remember it as one of the greatest days of your life. Not a day that you spend in tears." Cadence said to Twilight, using her hoof to wipe away the tears on Twilight's cheek. "Thank you Cadence, I think I needed that." Twilight said, sniffing up the rest of the tears that she had. "Are you ready?" Cadence said, turning to leave the room. "I'm as ready as I'm going to be." Twilight said following her sister-in-law out of the room. Inside the throne room, Princess Celestia was about ready to begin Twilight's coronation. In the middle of the crowd that had formed inside the throne room a group of four unicorn friends were waiting for the coronation to start. "What have you girls dragged me into?" Moon Dancer asked her friends. "Just wait Moon, trust me this going to be worth it." Lemon Hearts said, as Princess Celestia began the coronation. "We are gathered here today in celebration of a momentous occasion. My most faithful student, Twilight Sparkle, has done many extraordinary things since she's lived in Ponyville. She even helped reunite me with my sister, Princess Luna. But today, Twilight Sparkle did something extraordinary. She created new magic, proving without a doubt that she is ready to be crowned Equestria's newest princess. Fillies and gentlecolts, may I present for the very first time, Princess Twilight Sparkle!" Celestia announced as the doors to the throne room open and Twilight entered, followed by a choir of ponies. "Twilight." Moon Dancer said in shock, surprised that her former 'friend' that just become Equestria latest Princess. The Princess Twilight cometh Behold, behold. A Princess here before us Behold, behold, behold Behold, behold (behold, behold)" The choir behind Twilight sang as Twilight trotted up to the elevated position that had the other Princesses. Princess Celestia places Twilight's crown on her head. Her crown happening to be her Element of Magic. Redesigned to be smaller and made out of gold. "The Princess Twilight cometh Behold, behold (behold, behold) The Princess is The Princess is here!" The choir sang as Twilight, Celestia, and Luna trotted into a balcony that overlooked the city of Canterlot. A massive crowd of ponies having formed to see their newest Princess. "Say something, Princess." Celestia said to Twilight, as the crowd beneath the three alicorn cheered. "Oh. Um..." Twilight began, clearing her throat. "A little while ago, my teacher and mentor Princess Celestia sent me to live in Ponyville. She sent me to study friendship, which is something I didn't really care much about." Twilight began, turning backwards to see her friend's waving at her. "But now, on a day like today, I can honestly say I wouldn't be standing here if it weren't for the friendships I've made with all of you. Each one of you taught me something about friendship, and for that, I will always be grateful." Twilight said directly to her friends, urging to come forward. Each of her friends dressed in their own special dress. Rarity wearing a purple dress with a matching hat with a feather in the top. Applejack was wearing a blue and orange dress with a cowboy hat in the same color scheme. Fluttershy was wearing a light green dress with a band of flowers wrapping her head. Pinkie Pie was wearing a light blue dress with a matching hat. And Rainbow Dash was wearing a dress in the design of the sky. "Today, I consider myself the luckiest pony in Equestria. Thank you, friends. Thank you, everypony." Twilight said, the crowd of ponies below erupting into another cheer. The crowd roar came to an abrupt end as the city was shaken by the roar of the Alpha. "Alpha!" Twilight cried out, as Alpha came in for a landing. The crowd of ponies parted as the massive dragon approached the balcony where the Princesses and Mane Six were located. Theta and Sigma sliding down the extended right wing of Alpha. "Alpha, what are you doing here?" Celestia asked Alpha. "I have come to wish the best of Equestria's newest Princess." Alpha said, talking directly to Twilight. "Oh, that's not necessary, Alpha." Twilight said to the large dragon. Her face turning red at the comment by Alpha. "Nonsense. You have proven that you deserve that crown on your forehead, and it is my duty as to honor your status. Princess Twilight Sparkle." Alpha said giving the purple alicorn a bow, accepting the newly crowned Princess as his equal. His actions were quickly followed by his two apprentices. "Now, that the formalities are over with. Yets finish off this coronation with a bang." Alpha said raising to his full height. "What do you mean..." Twilight began to ask, as Alpha's chest began to glow a bright orange. Alpha then let out of massive stream of his golden alpha fire into the sky. The stream of fire going straight up into the heavens. His fire being able to be seen all across Equestria. The king of all the dragons giving his blessing for the latest Princess of Equestria. All of the ponies and dragons present gasped in awe as they stared at the stream of fire coming from Alpha's mouth. All of them unaware that a certain dragon was also witnessing this same stream of fire. Over in the Changeling Hive, Omega was ready for his return to Equestria when a soldier changeling flew into his cavern. "Omega, I apology if I am interrupting anything, but I have urgent news from Equestria." The soldier changeling said to the fallen alpha. "What. Is. It!" Omega roared, standing to his full height. "Um... I am just here to inform you that some of our scouts have reported that Equestria had gotten itself a new... princess." The soldier said to Omega. Omega's black and red eyes seeming to widen at the mentioning of a new princess. "Perfect." Omega said, an evil grin appearing on his face. "What is perfect, sir?" The changeling asked Omega, taking a cautionary step backwards. "Ready the army. It is time." Omega said to the changeling. "Are you sure?" The changeling asked Omega. "Are you questioning me?" Omega questioned the changeling. "No, course not Omega. Right away, sir." The changeling said galloping out of the cavern. "Just wait brother, your little reign will not last forever." Omega said, digging his way out of the changeling hive. The cave beginning to collapse in on itself. Outside of the hive there was a little foal changeling playing in the dirt. The silence of the desert like surroundings was interrupted by the sound of the changeling hive being destroyed by Omega. Omega crashing his way through the entrance to the cave. The remaining pieces of the hive missing the baby changeling by mere inches. "Goo." The baby changeling giggled as its body was completely covered by the shadow of a certain body part of Omega. CRASH! Omega's massive claws came down, crushing the baby changeling underneath his claws. "It is time." Omega roared, seeing the single stream of golden fire coming from Canterlot. Omega then let out of a massive roar, a roar that was quickly by his own stream of maroon fire. A fire that could seen all the way to Canterlot. In Canterlot the cheers of apologize where interrupted by sounds of confusion as all the ponies of Canterlot stared toward the badlands. The sky being light up, literally, by the maroon fire of Omega. "A... Princess, what is that?" Twilight asked her former mentor, pointing her hoof in the direction of the fire. Twilight's voice shaking. "No..." Celestia managed to say in her shock, her fully aware as to what, or more accurately who, the fire was coming from. Twilight shifted her attention to that of Alpha, who looked like his was about to explode in anger. "Alpha... are you alright?" Twilight asked Alpha. Alpha ignored Twilight's question, standing onto his hind legs. His massive wings extended and he let out a massive ear piercing roar. All of the ponies and dragons present having to cover their ears from the roar by Alpha. Alpha then launched into the sky, him heading toward the massive streak of maroon fire in the sky. Over in at the Changeling Hive, Omega heard the roar from his brother. A devilish grin appearing on his face. "Yes... it's about damn time we had a rematch... brother." Omega said, opening his massive bug-like wings, launching into the sky heading toward Canterlot. As the two giant dragons traveled toward each other their chest began to glow an orangish (Alpha) and maroon color (Omega). The two giant dragon fired their fire at each other. Their fireballs colliding and exploding as they combined. A massive fireball the size of a mountain of gold and maroon fire raising above Equestria. "Theta! What is going on!" Twilight called down to Theta. "I sure everything is alright..." Theta began to say his words being interrupted by a massive fireball forming BOOM! The sound of the massive explosion as the two alpha dragons fire combined. "He's... back." Celestia mumbled out, her words filled with fear. The roars of the two titans trading blows. The earth beneath everypony shaking as the two alpha brothers battled across Equestria.
