Ember storm

“What should we do?!” It had only been a few minutes since sunset passed out and everyone was extremely worried.
Just then
“Ok, I have got the machine!” Said adagio trying her best to hold backs her tears.”come on, come on.”
The blood pressure machine switched on and started its work after a minute it showed the reading.110/68 mm Hg
The reading was normal, so adagio breath a sigh of relief and almost immediately broke down crying.
“Hey, it’s ok. She had bp for a while.” Said aria trying to calm her down.
“I was so scared she had another heart attack.” She said crying.
“Hey, its ok”said sonata calmly” let me check her”
She used her magic and placed her and on sunset’s forehead and chest. And a pinkish glow appeared.
“Was she having an headache?” Asked sonata calmly.
After hearing the question, everyone started to explain what happened to her.

“Then she has just fainted, nothing to worry about. Though pinkie, try not to scream much, especially next to people’s ears.
Said sonata with a smile.
“If she just fainted then I should get back up behind the wheel, our check in time is at 10:15”
“I will stay here itself with sunset. Aria you take sonata and go.” Said adagio still shaken to the core.

After saving the dazzlings, each of the main7 suffered in some way. Twilight lost her glasses. Rainbow fractured both of her legs. Applejacks, farm had lost quite a number of trees due to a hurricane . Rarity’s hair became shorter. No animal got adopted for nearly a month in fluttershy’s adoption centre. Pinkys cakes were becoming moldy for a month. But sunset had the worst punishment first coma in which she was for nearly six months and missed most of her year in the school, then she had an heart attack. She managed to give exams and get into a pretty good college thanks to twilight. Sunset along with adagio graduated 3 months ago. Though twilight, did not even need to go to college since her iq level was higher than any college could teach. And the three along with aria are world class theoretical physicist they try to prove new theories every week but it’s not always that they succeed. And rainbow is currently a major soccer player. Her position is CAM.
Rarity is a world class fashion designer. Applejack is also a millionaire, she owns the biggest chain of apple ciders in the country. Fluttershy, is a government official, she is the environmental minister. Pinkie pie and aria own the largest restaurant chain in the world. All of them are in the millions, and according to twilight’s deduction they will be billionaires by retirement.
Sunsets net worth on its own is at an impressive 647 million. All their age is around 22.

“Ok then… I was thinking that, this night of belial thing… is it or can it somehow be related to midnights return?” Asked rarity to finally break the silence after nearly 15 minutes.
“I am not sure, I mean I need to sleep to talk to midnight so… you all tell me, I anyways did not sleep the entire night.”replied twilight.
“I mean I guess, midnight is… helping you, which is more weird than lettuce on a pizza.” Said rainbow dash.
“Ok.. I will go and and sleep.”said twilight before heading of to her bed in the rv.
After a few minutes she slept….

In her mind

“Midnight where are you?”
“I am in your mind” said midnight.
“I need you, in front of me right now.” Said twilight
“What?” Asked the demon.
“You know, you know tonight is the night of belial.” Said twilight
“Yes, so?” Asked the demon.
“Is this night somehow connected to, sunset fainting and your return?”
“Yes.”said the demon.”a powerful enemy is going to come. Sunset knows who is this. She knows him for a long time.”
“Wha-what do you mean?” asked twilight worried.
“Don’t tell anything to anyone I will guide you and she will guide sunset.” Said the demon calmly.
“What do you mean guide?” Asked twilight” who is going to guide sunset?!”
“All will be revealed in due time.” Said the demon
and twilight woke up

Sunset still hadn’t woken up and in 30 minutes they would reach their resort. Adagio was still by sunsets side using her magic on her..

“Hey adagio… why are you using your magic on sunset?”asked twilight before yawning.
“Her body has been heating up ever since you slept. I have been trying to cool her body down.” Said adagio still focused onto sunset.
“Hmm… how far is arias car?” Asked twilight trying her best to focus.
“Behind us.. why?” Asked adagio know looking at twilight.
“Remember she has the power to make anyone rest.” Said twilight.
“Already tried.”said adagio.

Twilight was thinking on how to stop sunsets body from heating up. Normally people take a fever reducing medicine to stop there body from heating up. She could give sunset the same. But she knew better.

And from the looks of things their splitting up plan wouldn’t happen at the fair

“What do you mean mine and twilight’s survival?!” Screamed sunset.
“You both need to live.” Said the demon.” The evil that is coming is going to stronger than your true powers. He has enough strength to touch our world and split it into two equal parts. Of course he won’t, he needs you. I will be in the subconscious area of you mind. When I will tell you to do something do it or none will survive.”
“Wh-why? And who is coming?!” Asked sunset.
“All will be revealed in due time.”said the demon with a similar look like midnight.” Don’t worry.”
“And I have a question. Why don’t you have a name I mean midnight has one?”asked sunset curiously.
“You all never bothered to give me a name.” Said the demon.
“Right-right so .. how about shadow shimmer?” Said sunset.
“Two thing.. 1. Don’t give me his name or your name. 2. Don’t forget your origins… your middle name is shimmer. Your last name… is storm.
“Well then 2. Things…. 1. I left that life behind. 2. Fine, how about Ember Storm?”asked sunset irritated.
“Fine with me.” Said the demon with a grin.
“But, for the record I am still not going to trust you.. Ember.” Said sunset.
“Your choice.. now your girlfriend’s been crying for a hour. So wake up.”

And Sunset woke up.

“Sunset!” Screamed adagio happily.
“Finally.” Said aj and rainbow in unison.
“Thank god you’re awake” said twilight.
“Sunset” screamed fluttershy crying.
“Yeah yeah I am back.” Said sunset hugging adagio and gave twilight a glare like I will talk with you later.
And twilight got scared.
“How much long till we reach aj?” Asked sunset hugging her and pinkie.
“5 minutes.”
And pinkie started to cry.
“I am sorry.” Said pinkie crying
“It’s ok”
