Anon-a-miss

"So, that was something?" swift said rubbing soot off his face with his hoof." You go do that everyday?"

"Not everyday." I say stretching my arm."Mostly just crooks how have nothing better to do with their lives."

"So your a super hero?"

"In a way." I say with a shrug." Most people see me as a monster."

"I don't." Swift said smiling." Your pretty nice."

"Just wait when I'm angry." I said with a sigh

"Weren't you back there when that thing attacked?" swift asked.

"Not even close."

"yikes."

"Yeah." I said sighing." last time I got angry I...(snap), did you hear that?" I asked looking around for the source of the sound." we're being followed."

"Better come out." swift said pulling his sword out." We know your there.'

"Sorry for the sneaking." midnight said coming from behind a tree as I breathed a sigh of relief." Wanted to find the source of the explosion, figured it would be you nights."

"You know me." I said chuckling." anyway, did the team send you or did you really come here to find me."

"I was told you went missing a few days ago." Midnight said wlkaingn over to us." You know Octavia's birthday is tommorrow, right?"

"I know." I said sadly." I want tot be there, but.."

"But what?"

"He's training to become king." Swift said as I glared at him." oops."

"Your WHAT!?!?!?" midnight said in shock." your training to become a king?"

"By annierian law, once both the high king and high queen die, the prince gets the throne." I say sadly." Right now, I'm on my third trail."

"Which you have completed." A voice says around us." Congrats."

"Whos that?" midnight and ask I unison.

"That's Anna." I said as she appeared next to me." the first annierian."

"It's honor to meet you." midnight said as swift stared in aw.

"Likewise champion of equestria." Anna said smiling." It's a honor to finally meet you."

"So what's next?" I asked." Where am I heading next?"

"An alternate universe, that's Parallel to your home." Anna said." A different earth, as you will."

"What am I to do?" I asked." and what should I expect?"

"This next trail is based on a choice you make." Anna said, her tone turning serious." You will also face...a dark Mogol."

"What's a mogol?" I asked scared a little."How dangerous is it?"

"A mogol is a monster." midnight said as I looked at him surprised." Thier a lot more scarier and deadly then nightmares, even Luna could die from them."

"When do I start?" I asked Knowing what I had to do." And where do I begin?'

"Before you start, you must know something." Anna said." in the reality, time is slower, it's Christmas time in there, nobody knows who you'll be so any changes there won't affect your home."

"Got it." I said with a nod as a portal opened behind me." When will I be back, becuase it's Octavia's birthday and.."

"If you miss her birthday I can send you back in time, good luck." Anna said as I jumped into the portal.

"Can one of you take me back to ponyville." swift said smiling nervously." I'm kinda lost."

--Altarenate earth, December 19, 2014--

"Looks like I'm here." I said stepping into the snow over ally." Now to find that mogol."

"I DIDN'T DO ANYTHING!!!!" I hear a familiar voice yell."IM NOT ANON-A-MISS!!"

"Sunset?" I said as I ran to the commotion." Great." I said with anger as I saw two girls blocking sunset." It just had to be these two."

"Hey Gilda." The one I recognized as lightening dust said evilly." I don't think she's learned her lesson yet, do you?"

"I agree." Gilda siad punching her hand." You ruined us, now we'll ruin you."

"No please." sunset sai dbacking up against a wall." I didn't do it, please you've got to believe me."

"Nope sorry." Gilda punching sunset in her gut causing her to fall." But..you deserve this."

"Buzz off." I said in fury as approached them." I suggest you leave if you know what's good for you."

"You must be new." Gilda said smirking." This here is sunset shimmer, aka Anon-a-miss."

"I'm not...." before sunset could finish lightening dust kicked her in the side." please...stop."

"She's had enough." I said getting angrier by the second." Or else."

"Or else what?" lightening said smirking." anyone tell you she became a demon once."

"So have I." I said as Gilda and lightening looked at me suspiciously." But I'm not from equestria like sunset is."

"Great, another pony freak." Gilda said picking up an old pipe from off the ground and aproached me." You think your tough, HOW ABOUT THIS?" she yelled swinging the pipe at which I caught with my hand with ease." Wise guy."

"Last chance." I said gritting my teeth." I was told to never hit a girl, but you I can make the exception."

"AS IF."Gilda said in rage." I won't back down."

"Wrong answer." I said kneeing her in the gut causing her to fall to her groaning in pain." Should have listened."

(click)" Get any closer, and I'll shoot." I hear lightening dust form behind me." Now, let us go and we'll forget everything that happened."

"Put the gun down." I said turning around." That gun won't do you any good."

"Try me."dust said firing the gun.( blam, blam, blam.) but which each shot the bullet just bounced miserably off my chest." What are you?" lightening dust said with fear dropping the gun.

"I'm what you call annierian." I said walking over and picking up the gun." last chance, leave. Now." I said crushing the gun.

"I have friends in high places." lightening dust said with anger." they'll come after you."

"Don't you thieves know to never mess itua nightingale." I said as lightening dust looked at me with fear." Now listen here, if I see you and your friend there messing with sunset, there will be hell to pay."

"Got it." lightening said with a squeak before running off.

"You okay." I said walking over to sunset who was looking at me with fear." I'm not going to hurt you."

"Thank you." she said as I helped her up." who are you?"

"Nights, nights wingfeather." I said with a smile." Where were you heading?"

"Sugercube." sunset said sadly." I wanted to talk to my friends to see if they would forgive me."

"I'll go with you." I said as we exited the ally."In case things get hairy."

"That would be nice." sunset said as we approached the cafe." but I have to ask, it's about your last name."

"What of it?" I asked." not trying to sound mean?"

"It's just your name sounds familiar." sunset said nervously." Sounds annierian."

"Because my father was high king Shadic." I said as we stopped in front of the door." I'll go in first, so your friends won't get suspicious."

"Ok." sunset said nervously." But what if they angry?"

"I'll step in if things get out of hand." I said as I opened the door." wait until I sit down, then come in."

"Right." she said as I worked to the counter." I open this works."

"Why do I feel like a mercenary?" I asked myself as I order some coffee and sat down."I have a hunch it will get out of hand, quick."

"Your not welcome here sunset shimmer?" I hear rainbow dash soupy from the rain booms table." after what you did, we can't even call you our friend."

"Please let me explain." sunset said in tears." I didn't do anything."

"YOUR A SECRET STEALER!!!" pinkie yelled standing up." WE TRUSTED YOU."

"I'm sorry." sunset said trying to explain." I'm not anon-a-miss."

"Get out of here sunset." applejack said grabbing sunset arm, causing her to yelp in pain." Quit lying, that didn't hurt."

"HEY!!!" I yelled walking over to them." leave her alone."

"And you are?" rainbow dash said walking over to me." And do you know she is?"

"My name is nights." I said with a scowl." And sunset is my friend, and I suggest you leave her alone."

"But she.." rarity begun

"But nothing, she was already attacked, now her best turned their back on her." I said glaring at them." Wnat me to take you home sunset?"

"Anywhere bettere then?" sunset said as we left the cafe." I thought they would believe me."

"Shame on you." I said facing the rianbooms." Princess twilight would be ashamed as well."

"Do you really think of me as a friend?" sunset asked." why?"

"I heard that you were anon-a-miss, but it's highly unlikely." I said with a shrug." plus if I weren't your friend you would be in hospital by now, possibly in a coma."

"That's true." sunset said then gasping." how are you not cold?"

"What do you mean?"

"Your jacket, it has no sleeves, and neither does your shirt." sunset said examining my outfit." how are you not cold?"

"I lived in annieria remember." I said with a smirk." I'm used to the cold."

"Oh." sunset said giggling." anyway, got a place to stay tonight? If not, your welcome to stay with me."

"I suppose." I said with a shrug." you need someone to protect you, who knows who might might come after you."

"That's a good point." sunset said as we approached an apartment building." I live here, kinda small, but it works."

"Intresting." I say as we enter the building.

"You mentioned earlier that you came from a whole different reality." sunset said." so there's more then one of this world?"

"Countless realizes of this world and equestria." I said as we entered her apartment." But I don't know if my world is ok or not."

"Why did you come here?" sunset asked with a hit of worry.

"I we sent here because a mogol was sent here, I don't know how but I was told to stop it." I said looking out the window." But then I saw you in trouble so I had to help."

"So you stopped your search for something could destroy this entire world, just to save me." sunset said shocked." why?"

"I would probably fell guilty if I didn't." I said sighing." also, the mogol search is part of my training."

"Trianing for what?"

"To become a king." I said sadly." but there's like two of my kind left, me and my brother, we were wiped out by a deadric prince named Dagon."

"That's horrible."

"But if it never happened, I wouldn't had the adventures I had since then." I said with a smile." But, I still miss home sometimes."

"That's good." sunset said with a yawn." I'm going to get some sleep, you can sleep on the couch, sorry but I don't ahve enougher bed."

"It's fine." I said sitting down." see ya in the morning."

--The pause--

"Now what?" is aid with groan as I sat up." why am I here again?"

"You know where we are?" I hear a voice say." If so please explain."

"Midnight, why are you here?" I asked as midnight shrugged." you know what never mind, we're in the pause.'

"Is this the place you came when you achieved your tenkai knight form?" midnight asked, I nod yes." Am about achieve tenkai knight form as well?"

"You are not midnight." Anna said appearing in front of us." you are both here because nights here completed his final test."

"But I never found the mogol." I said with shock." it's still on the loose."

"There never was a mogol." Anna said with a smile." I said that because to weather you would focus in the task at hand or help someone in need, and you made the right choice by helping sunset."

"It was in a different reality." I said as midnight gave me a skeptical look." so don't worry."

"But why am I here?" midnight asked." if I'm not ascending, then why am I here?"

"Your are midnight, but to tenkai knight." Anna said makeing to balls of energy, one purple and the other with lightening surrounding it."Your both about to become masters, the alpha and the omega."

"What kinda of masters?" midnight asked as Anna handed the energy balls." and what are these?"

"Your are both destined to be tenkai masters." Anna said turning around." And those are your tenkai evolved abilities, and just a heads up, they do hurt."

"What?" me and mingith asked in unison as the balls started getting brighter." oh no."

--home--

"Ugh my head." I said as stood up." Anna was kidding when she said it would hurt."

"Ya think." midnight siad coming out of the bushes, but different." What?"

"Erm midnight." I said nervously." Your covered in lightening."
Tenkai master midnight

"what do you mean?" midnight asked." have you seen they way you look?"

"Why is my aura purple?" I asked no one in particular, then midnight midnight pointed to the lake next to us so I could look." is this my tenkai master form?"

"This is really wierd." midnight said as his tenkai master form disappeared." but it's something I like."

"Same here." I said I turned back to normal." but I need to get back home."

"Why?"

"It's Octavia's birthday today."
