"It is nice to have you two back, I heard the news." Princess Celestia said to Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy.
"What news?" Rainbow Dash asked.
"Oh, Princess giggled, when you were away Princess Luna visited the Crystal Empire but I guess she did not find you? Anyways, Shining Armor helped you two am I right?
Both pegasi ponies nodded.
"So, what happened after that?" asked Princess Celestia.
"Suprisingly and interestingly, we got the amulet." said Fluttershy. "But also we got something a little worrying.
"Oh, what do you mean?" asked the Princess.
"Well there is this situation that Spike wrote a letter that he visited the old castle of yours with Pinkie, as I guess they could not find anyting in Twilight's library... He said that, he actually came across with you..." Rainbow Dash said.
"Well, I have not visited that castle of mine since ages, you know what it reminds me when I go and even think about there..." said Princess Celestia.
Both ponies nodded again.
"Soon Spike saw that moon was rising, but how can moon rise itself if both princesses are in front of them? So he suspected of changelings and Crysalis and Shining Armor went for them. I hope they are okay..." said Fluttershy.
"Crysalis returned? Oh my! At least we are a little lucky that we did not come across some problem that really requires elements of harmony... But still, we need Twilight back!" Celestia said. "Oh, to what do I owe this visit, by the way? "
"Fluttershy, tell her..." said Rainbow Dash and looked at the yellow mare. Yellow mare nodded and opened her mouth with a little blush on her cheek.
"We need to go to the portal... The portal that Twilight went for Sunset Shimmer..." said Fluttershy.
"Sunset Shimmer? Why?" asked Princess Celestia.
"Since Alicorn Amulet, though to its name, can be only used by unicorns. Nor alicorns neither pegasi ponies have ability to use that... So we need a strong unicorn that can handle a strong curse..." said Fluttershy.
"And you think that is Sunset Shimmer?" asked Princess Celestia.
"Well, Rarity can only make dresses, light and find gems... Since we have Twilight, and can't make her, save herself, and we can't trust Trixie who is good about using this but can cause another big trouble, only option is she..." said Rainbow Dash.
Princess Celestia looked serious. "Follow me." she gently said and nodded. She leaded the ponies to the portal. Rainbow Dash entered the portal first and than Fluttershy followed the way she went. Through dimensions, they found themselves getting out from a weird statue. They both fell. When they fell they both noticed that they had hands. When they looked at each other, at first they did not recognize each other.
"Rainbow Dash is that you?" asked Fluttershy.
"If you are Fluttershy, I guess this is me... Twilight must have been exaclty right when she told us about here..." said Rainbow Dash.
"No time to waste! Let's search for Sunset Shimmer. We know from Twilight that she goes to this school so let's go!" said Fluttershy. Rainbow Dash nodded and they walked in.
"Uh, Fluttershy?" asked Rainbow Dash.
"Yes?" replied Fluttershy.
"Am I the only one thinking that all students and teachers here have the basic colours and themes of our pony friends?" asked Rainbow Dash.
"I noticed that too..." said Fluttershy. Soon they heard a bell rang and everybody went to a door named "Canteen". They both followed the crowd. Soon they saw, themselves with the rest of the gank... And... Was that Sunset Shimmer? They both got near them. The human Fluttershy and Rainbow Dash stood up. They looked at each other. And than themselves. And than they looked at the new comers again.
"Oh my, what is going on here?" human Rarity asked.
"Sunset Shimmer! We need your help!" said Fluttershy. Sunset Shimmer stood up and took them to the corner. Fluttershy and Rainbow Dash told her everything, what happened and what will happen if they will not save Twilight...
"You are not some jokers aren't you?" asked Sunset Shimmer.
"Of course not, we told you, we come from Ponyville!" said Fluttershy.
"Twilight turning into a full wolf? Well, we can't let that happen, can we? Let's hurry before the portal closes!" said Sunset Shimmer and said goodbye to her human friends.
Rainbow Dash put one arm to Sunset Shimmer's shoulder and the other one to Fluttershy's. "To Ponyville!" she said. She said too loud and everyone looked at her and started to gossip.
Human Twinkle Shine said "Is she crazy or something? What is Ponyville?" to human Lyra.
"Actually ponies fascinate me, being just the way they are... I always dreamed of becoming a pony one day..." Lyra said. Sweetie Drops rolled her eyes and walked away from Lyra with Twinkle Shine.
Fluttershy, Rainbow Dash and Sunset Shimmer started to run. They all entered the portal and it closed. After dimension to dimension, they fell onto ground. When they stood up, now they were having hooves, instead of hands. They were happy except for Sunset Shimmer. She was walking like a human still...
Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy looked at her in a strange way.
"What? It is much easy and smarter. You know after spending all the time with these two legs, four legs walking makes me feel lazy and slow." said Sunset Shimmer. And after that they saw both Princesses in front of them. They bowed to them.
Sunset Shimmer looked at Princess Celestia. She smiled at her.
"My old student..." Celestia said and smiled. They hugged.
"Sunset Shimmer, take this amulet and wear it..." said Princess Luna and gave her the amulet.
"I must warn you, you must fight inside against the darkness... We do not want the old Sunset Shimmer right?" said Fluttershy. When they were about to leave they all saw Pinkie Pie coming.
"At last we reunited..." said Rainbow Dash. The rest of them nodded.
"What is she doing here?" Pinkie Pie asked, pointing Sunset Shimmer. Fluttershy told her everything.
"Well, we did not find anything yet... I decided to get seperate to find you guys... We found some cure..." said Pinkie Pie.
"What is it?" asked Rainbow Dash.
"The love, between Cadance and Shining Armor. It can save Twilight, but I also have bad news I am afraid..." said Pinkie Pie. "Princess Cadance, she... She consumed too much dark magic and her color..."
"Consumed? Her color?" asked Celestia.
"Yes, she said she learned from a Tirek legend book or something... She consumed a lot of dark magic and she turned into grayish and pale colours. She lost her original colour." said Pinkie Pie.
"Tirek? What? Cadance should not trust that... We need to find her! She can get hurt if she keeps them inside her more..." said Celestia.
"It is like the one that Discord did to us..." said Pinkie Pie.
"So we can't let that happen can we, love or alicorn amulet, I do not know but we need to find them! Right now! Let's go everypony!" Sunset Shimmer said. They were starting to leave but Rainbow Dash stopped. Everypony looked at her.
"I will catch you guys later..." said Rainbow Dash. "We need to find Applejack and Rarity..."
Fluttershy stopped her. "I will go, you go with the team..." she said.
"Believe me Flutters, I am faster than you, and also I can't put you in a danger again. Not after I lost you once... I will come as soon as possible... Just stick with the team and stay safe..." she said. Fluttershy dropped a tear and nodded. They kissed. Fluttershy looked back while Rainbow Dash dashed off to the sky.
Rainbow Dash talked to herself. "It may be a wolf, but it can't fly and can't fly. Not even to mention making a sonic rainboom." she said and giggled. She found herself in Zecora's door and knocked it. She told her everything.
"Oh, good to at least find a cure, but I hope they secure... About Apple Jack and Rarity, I don't know where they might be..." she said. Luckily Rainbow Dash decided to visit the house of Rarity and found them leaving the house. Rainbow Dash stopped them.
"Rainbow Dash, what are you doing here? Where is Fluttershy?" Rarity asked.
"She is fine..." she said and told them everything. Even the ones Pinkie Pie implied to her back at Canterlot. "So, we need to go there!" she said. Everybody nodded and they rushed to the cave...
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Pinkie Pie on her trip with Princesses, Fluttershy and Sunset Shimmer, saw Sunset Shimmer a little worried.
"Are you ok?" she asked.
"Yea, actually you were more talkative in your human form..." she said.
"I don't know... When sad things happen even I can not cheer up..." Pinkie replied.
"The thing is I do not know what to do..." Sunset Shimmer said. "What are we expecting, a sudden magic, a long one, or maybe a blast?"
"A one shimmer..." Pinkie Pie replied. "I would consent even a shimmer... Just to bring my old friend back to normal!"
"And this time..." Celestia said. "It must be permeanent. This virus needs to leeave before infecting anypony else... I hope nor Twilight neither Fluttershy infected the virus to other ponies. " They keep on walking and amulet started to grow... Sunset Shimmer screamed. Princess Celestia took Sunset Shimmer on her back.
"Oh, it hurts. It hurts me so much. I can't bare it..." Sunset Shimmer said.
"Hang on, my old student... You can do it! You have learnt strength and resistance from me.." Celestia said. They kept walking the long road to the Old Castle of Princesses. Soon they reached the cave. Shining Armor and Spike saw Princess Celestia. He rushed to her.
"It is terrible, your highness... The love it did not work on Twilight." Shining Armor said. "She is resisting. Night is coming. She will turn into wolf again. We tied her but vines may not make her stand where she is..."
"Let me handle this..." Princess Celestia said. She dropped Sunset Shimmer on Luna's back and casted a long, shiny spell. Luckily, Cadance was back to normal but she was still fainted... "She should wake up soon, hopefully..." Celestia said... Everypony else nodded. Shining Armor thanked. They saw Rainbow Dash and Rarity catching behind.
"Stop it, we can handle this sugarcubes!" said Apple Jack.
"You can?" asked Rainbow Dash, she turned her face to Apple Jack while rushing with them. Applejack nodded.
"Do it Rarity!" she said.
Rarity nodded too... She casted a shimmer of a spell. Rainbow Dash rolled her eyes was sure she would fail. However it worked... When they saw Twilight back to normal all of them cheered. They were about to hug her but she turned back into wolf again. "At least we solved it temporarily?" Rarity said and fake smiled. Pinkie Pie was about to get bitten.
"This means that... We have only one solution left to make it work..." Fluttershy said.
"It is your time Sunset Shimmer! Do it! Finish this curse!" Rainbow Dash yelled. Everypony decided to hold the veins. Because they got weaker... Luckily Pinkie Pie brought ropes inside her party cannon. She tied her deep. She was about to get a scratch this time. Luckily, she was safe and sound... Yet...
"Stop it right now! Everypony!" some stranger voice said from the road looking down at them. Rarity looked at her. Princess Celestia and Luna could handle that pony but they were too focused on the ropes with their magic. Shining Armor was trying to help too. All the rest of the ponies were holding tight the ropes. Yet it was like not even a half of a wolf-pony strength.
"Miss me?" stranger voice said and blinked twice.
"Bring the fight on, you fake showing off unicorn!" Rarity said.
"My pleasure..." Trixie said and lit her horn. A battle was about to begin between them. However, will Trixie prevent the saving of Twilight Sparkle? Will Sunset Shimmer make the alicorn magic right and will it save their purple unicorn friend?
