> Twilight Wolf > by GildaTheGriffon > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- > Chapter One: The Moon > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- (PS: Please read Flutter Wolf,the first story of this series. It would be much clear if you start with that. Thanks) The night started to make itself more and more clear. The moon was shining as strong as sun, no pony could even directly look at it. Pinkie's party was going good. Everyone was dancing on the step floor. On a wall there was a huge writing... "Welcome back Fluttershy!" and it was written on a light blue banner. Spike finally achieved to arrive to the party, still he was so surprised how Twilight let him party. He knew that he had to have his baby sleep but it was so nice of Twilight to let him to attend to an important day like this. It was so hard for Spike to find his friends in this crowd but luckily he bumped to Pinkie Pie who was attacking to her grape punch. When she recognized him she hugged him and took him to rest of the crew. Everyone smiled at Spike when they saw him. "Spike... I am so glad that you have arrived! It is more beautiful when we have you here!" said Fluttershy and hugged him. "I am heading to bar, do you want anything to eat, Spike?" she kindly asked. Spike sat one of the empty chairs and he soon realized the chair was a little big for his size. "It is so good to see you all here, back together, safe and sound." Spike said. "I don't want anything..." he stopped and when Fluttershy was about to leave he asked "Do you have gems?". Fluttershy smiled and said "Let me look." and slowly she entered inside to the crowd and headed to the bar. Rainbow Dash was so bored. She was feeling dizzy because she ate too much. She was sitting and her haid was on the table. She was half asleep. Applejack stood up and put Rainbow Dash on her back. "I think this sugar cube is no longer be available for party... I am going to bring her back to home. I need Cherry Berry's help for the hot air ballon though." she said. She put Rainbow Dash back to her seat and started to search for Cherry Berry. Rarity was bored too but those dresses of the visitors from Manehattan and Canterlot was impressing her. "So..." she said and looked at Spike. "Where is Twilight Spike?" she asked. Spike suddenly jumped up to his seat. His heart was beating faster. Rarity, her crush was talking to him. "She must be still at... At the library..." he said. Rarity looked down and made a sad face. "The party is almost over and she is not here. Great!" she continued. Spike shrugged. "She was weird today. It still suprises me how I achieved to come here." Spike said. "I talked with her before coming here and she let me. And believe me, if I know Twilight, if she is still not here, she won't come. You know Twilight, she is not good with parties." Spike continued. Rarity shrugged too. "I don't care, darling, this is not just a simple party, we are celebrating our friend's return. I don't think this is Twilight's style." she continued and suddenly saw Pinkie Pie coming. "Where is Applejack and Rainbow Dash?" Pinkie Pie asked. "They are gone, with Cherry Berry. To bring Rainbow Dash home." Rarity said. "Where is Twilight? Is she not here because she did not like my party?" she asked and started to cry. "There, there, of course not Pinkie Pie. Maybe she is busy." Fluttershy tolerated Pinkie Pie. "I think I am tired too... I need to head back to bed. Spike, I know you like parties but you are still a baby, you need to head back to bed too. If you want I can be a companion for you back to home." Fluttershy continued. Spike got angry a little and said "I might be a baby, but I am also a knight! I am strong and brave, I can go by myself thanks!" he replied. Soon they all saw that the rain started outside and they all got seperate. Rarity was heading back to her home with Fluttershy and Spike had to leave party alone. Pinkie Pie could help him but she was a party mare so it was so hard for him to convince her so he decided to head back home , by himself. Suddenly rain started to make itself clearer and clearer. It had not rained like this in Ponyville before so everyone decided to return their home earlier because water could cause to block their way back to home. He started his way back to tree house. When the tree house appeared on the horizon. Spike noticed something when he got a little closer. The door was broken. Spike hesitated to go inside. Though he was a baby dragon, for his age he had been through a lot of problems. With little steps he decided to step in and he decided to check every room. He went to upstairs, Twilight's bed, library, kitchen but the house was empty. Only some of the books were on the ground but something was different. Claw marks on the bathroom door? "Well that was not here before." Spike said. Where was Twilight? He just thought maybe he did something wrong to let her go away... Maybe he was too impatient and did not wait Twilight to go to the party? Or maybe he made her upset by asking to go to the party... He did not know anything. He started to cry slowly and kicked wall. His foot hurt a bit and than with sadness, he decided to stay at Rarity's house. While walking, he passed through the party place and saw Pinkie Pie. She was still partying, but now just herself... When she saw Spike she invited him in but Spike told her what happened. After their talk, Pinkie Pie decided to go Rarity's house with Spike. When they were arrived, luckily, Rarity was not sleeping. After Rarity opened her door, and saw a pink pony and a little purple dragon, which were her friends she invited them in and asked what was going on. "Rarity, Twilight is missing. I searched everywhere in home... I found nothing but some books on the floor and... Uhm..." said Spike and stopped. "Some claw marks." Pinkie said and helped Spike. Rarity gasped like she never did before. Her hooves were shaking... She walked to kitchen and grapped a glass of water and walked back to them. Her hooves were still shaking. She sat and started to look at the ceiling. Spike started to cry, and Pinkie Pie hugged Spike. Rarity stood up. "No!" she said. "This can't be true, can it be?" she continued and started to laugh and cry at the same time. "Maybe Spike was halusinating, or maybe Fluttershy did that before while we were in camp? Can't it be? Please say yes... Any of you?" Rarity asked. Spike lowered his head and said "I am afraid you are wrong. When I was talking to Twilight, she was in the bathroom and the door was closed. So basically I was talking to the door and on that time there were no claw marks on the door. Which means..." Spike said and was interrupted by Rarity. "Don't tell me Fluttershy is back to wolf again!" Rarity said. "I think your library got attacked by timber wolves." Pinkie Pie said. "But also, Rarity's thought has a possibility to be true." she continued and nodded. "There is one way to check it out..." Rarity said. "Pack your things up! We are going to Fluttershy's house!" said Rarity. "What things?" Spike asked. "I don't know... I just said to look cool! Do not question, now go go go! We have a pony to visit." said Rarity. It was a little far from Rarity's house to Fluttershy's and they had to walk a lot. Spike was tired so he decided to sit on Pinkie Pie's back, and while they were walking Rarity was trying to think nothing bad and soon they passed Sweet Apple Acres, and they decided to tell it to Applejack because she needed to know this too. After Rarity told what happened to Applejack they all decided to visit Fluttershy. "So you claim that, Fluttershy is back to Flutterwolf, sugarcubes?" asked Applejack, she was half-panicked. "Nope." Pinkie Pie said. "That is Rarity's idea, my idea is that timber wolves attacked to their library." she continued. Applejack nodded. "What is your idea Spike?" she asked. "I don't know. The only thing that I hope right now, to see my friend safe. I just..." Spike was about to cry but he held himself. "I just hoped that, after all these things, it was finally over... Will it start again?" continued Spike. "What will start again?" asked Applejack. "The problems... It can be Rarity's or Pinkie's thought but I want none... Can't we just ignore all these?" Spike asked. "You mean ignore the claw marks?" asked Rarity. "Sorry, darling but I can't. If it is still a problem, we need to fix it. Because if this thing will be dominant, I decided, I will move to Canterlot." "WHAT?!" eveyone gasped and asked in a shocked way. Rarity shrugged. "Safety is important, darlings." she said. "There it is, girls, and Spikey, we arrived." she said and with a little faster steps she arrived to Fluttershy's door and knocked it with her right hoof. When she knocked the door opened itself. It was not closed at all. "Wow, she left her door open?" she asked. When her friends reached to her back they started to search the house. Spike headed upstairs with Rarity. They started to hear some voices. "Oh stop Rainbow Dash..." someone said. "Why would I?" the other asked. "Are they...?" Spike was about to ask but instead he ate a hoof of Rarity right into his mouth and saw Rarity nodding. "Eww..." Spike said. "They are snuggling. Love is so disgusting." he said. "Really?" Rarity asked and came closer to Spike. "You think love is disgusting Spikey-Wikey?" she asked and blinked her eyes twice. Spike stopped and fell in love with Rarity again. His eye-balls shape changed from round to heart. "How can I hate love, Rarity?" he said and when he got closer to kiss her, Rarity stepped back and Spike fell and screamed "Ouch!". With that scream the two other ponies came from the room. "Rarity? Spike? How did you get in?" Fluttershy asked. "You left the door open Fluttershy, come down stairs." Rarity said. "We have a problem to talk." "Wait, wait, wait... Am I clear that you definetly sure that Twilight is missing? Maybe Princess Celestia called her for mission?" Rainbow Dash asked. "She would tell me than..." Spike said. "Even if she did not, how can you explain claw marks and my broken door?" "Are we sure, those claws belong to a wolf? Maybe it is a raccoon... Girls, I understand, it had been though for us, and we never slept well after these events but I think this 'Flutter-wolf' issue affected you a lot." Rainbow Dash said. "No... Raccoons do not have big hands." said Spike. "We need to find Twilight. I already sent a letter to Princess Celestia while we were on the road..." "You did?" asked Pinkie Pie. "Yes, while I was sitting on your back. Anyway, Twilight is missing. Raccoon , wolf, claw, broken door or not, we need to find her. Why would she miss 'Fluttershy's Welcome Back Party'?" Spike asked. Pinkie Pie nodded. "It made me so upset, I thought Twilight ditched me but I never thought something could happen to her... If it is true, if Twilight is danger and we are just right here sitting, and discussing, I won't forgive myself. So I am leaving to search for Twilight." she said. "I am coming with you too, darling." said Rarity. "Count me in, sugarcubes." said Applejack and when all of them decided to leave. When they were about to leave the cottage they heard a sound. A sound that was familiar to them before... A sound maybe some of them will never forget. A sound that caused tragedy, fear, blood, wounds and even death. Spike was shaking and he started to hug Rarity. "Wa-was th-that a-a how-howl?" Spike asked and was barely trying to move his mouth while speaking. "Does this mean...?" Fluttershy asked but Rarity interrupted. "Yes." Rarity said. "Prepare for the second wolf hunt Ponyville." -MORE COMING SOON- > Chapter Two: Into The Woods > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Did Spike hear it wrong? It was impossible... Everybody heard that sound, and he was sure it was a howl. Fluttershy was hugging to Rainbow Dash and she was so scared. Pinke Pie dug a little hole on ground and hid her head. Rarity fainted and Applejack was trying to wake her up. The reason that Spike was sad is, after all those problems, after having Fluttershy back, it would be all over, but it is not... Ponyville will have another serious problem, more importantly a wolf problem. With no potion anymore, no hero to stop, without the potion what would their faith lead. Another adventure? Another search? Unaware of how to stop, they were all shocked and tried not to accept the reality of this terrible and horrible situation. "Maybe it was a Timber wolf?" Pinkie Pie asked in a hopeful way. "Wow, after that story book I read, back at the camp, all of our adventures became more wolf included." she continued. "It can't be. Timber wolves are made of branches. They can bark but they can't howl." said Applejack. Spike shivered. He remembered the terrible moments of fighting with them to save Applejack. Maybe for his first time he felt more scared than ever in his life. His best friend, his companion, all the roads and trips and adventures they have been through... Spike leaned down and closed his eyes. The wind was too cold, it was strong. Instead of making them feel fresh, it was slapping them, maybe nature was even mocking them because they were so foolish and let Twilight go. "Well..." Rainbow Dash said. "We can't know untill we figure it out. The only thing we, need now is a good plan, strong one... Adventurous and cool..." "Not too risky, please..." Fluttershy replied. "Ok... I have one." Rarity said. "We might need some help, so we need to get seperate... The train stations are closed on weekends so you two can go visit Princesses, unfortunately again. Nobody will track wolf. Pinkie and Spike you will go to Twilight's house and search for something beneficial or important about wolves. Applejack, we will visit Zecora, maybe her herbs can help us to find out... Don't forget guys in all three libraries, we will search for these two topics 'Timber Wolves' and 'Howl types in Equestria' though I don't think we need to look at dogs. That was definetly a wolf. Everyone let's go!" said Rarity but suddenly Rainbow Dash came front of her and everybody stopped. "Why books? Again?" she asked and Rarity rolled her eyes. "I can assume that your love to dresses are equal to her hatred to books, sugarcube..." Applejack said and behind her back she bit an apple and started to eat. "Wait... Rarity?" said Spike and entered between Rainbow Dash and Rarity. "Yes, Spike?" asked Rarity. "Why you need herbs, books and Princesses? What is your thought? Why do you need them?" asked Spike. "Yea it attracted me too... Why?" asked Rainbow Dash. "Me three!!" yelled Pinkie Pie behind. "Listen, well I know that you know why but I think I am the one who will say it now..." Rarity said and looked down. "What do you mean Rarity?" asked Fluttershy. When Rarity was about to speak Rainbow Dash pointed somewhere and said "Oh my god, look, what the heck is that!!" suddenly they all saw a shadow passing between the trees. They even saw the colour of it... The moon was too bright. Dark purple or black... Rarity stepped on step further and said "Darlings, before it was just a theory but now i am ninty percent sure that, Twilight Sparkle, our friend, is now a "Twilight Wolf". Hurry we need to stick to the plan!" said Rarity. Rainbow Dash dashed up to the sky and when she looked back Fluttershy was way too behind. So she hold her hand and they flew together and rushed to talk to Princesses as possible as they can. "Come on Spike, we have a library to search for... " Pinkie Pie said. Spike nodded and headed to library with Pinkie Pie, Rarity and Applejack left to the woods and Fluttershy and Rainbow Dash started to fly to Canterlot. ------------------------------------ "This is horrible..." Celestia said. With a little gasp she hugged her sister. Luna looked both of the pegasi mares. "With that potion that virus must have been stopped. Girls, go to the secret library." Luna said and opened the gate with her horn. "Rainbow Dash, you remember the pathway right? I showed you before, we will come..." said Celestia. Rainbow Dash nodded and "Follow me Flutters." she said and they left the main royal hall. ------------------------------------ Meanwhile Pinkie and Spike was searching for clues and tips but they found nothing but another wolf story. " Star Swirl Bearded, poems, magic spells, casts, spell books.... I looked all the categories Pinkie, nothing from this side... What do you have?" asked Spike. "Nothing, but a secret magical recipe of the golden cupcake! Yay! I have been wanting this book from Twilight, like for ages but she said she could not find it. Though I found it, super duper... Still I need to ask her permission again though...." she said, flipped and jumped and hugged the book and giggled, at the end, of course. "Yea, you should ask her before she eats you Pinkie... Nothing here..." he said and sat to one of the sofas and started to cry. "All my fault, I should not have left her alone to go to the party." he said and started to cry silently. "There, there. No it is not... You will see, we will save our friend. Bingo! I have an idea, pack up Spike, add some food to the bags too... We have a journey to begin..." she said and went to the door. "But... Where are we going Pinkie?" Spike asked. "To 'Castle of the Two Sisters' of course, silly." Pinkie said and laughed. ------------------------------------ "I hate to say but, though we made a plan, ok, "my plan", why I always make myself go through this, ugly and muddy road?" said Rarity. "My hooves..." she complained. "Rarity, you just, irritate me twice in only two adventures of us. We, again risked ourselves, to a big danger and I am pretty sure, we two, are the closest ones to the wolf, so before coming across with our sweet blood-thirsty friend let's rush to the hutt of Zecora, before noon." Applejack said and they started to run. ------------------------------------ "Have you find anything Fluttershy?" asked Rainbow Dash. Fluttershy stopped and "No, but I remembered something. We need someone, but where, where can we find her?" she said and turned back to the royal hall. "Princess Celestia, I have an idea!" "Fluttershy, wait!" Rainbow Dash said. "Ugh, why am I always 'the chaser?'" "Climb, climb! Up, up! We are coming!" Pinkie Pie was screaming. "Pinkie I am too tired, can't we, can't we..." Spike said. "No, we can't... Spike we can stop over that cave... You see? Right ther.... Spike? Spike? Where did this baby go?" Pinkie asked and looked behind. ------------------------------------ "There we are.... Zecora's hutt... Let's knock this, rusty door shall we?" asked Rarity. Both of them stopped. Rarity cleared her voice "Applejack, lead the way please, knock the door." she said. Applejack rolled her eyes and knocked the door. "Welcome." said Zecora. Don't wait there, inside you come." she continued. "Zecora, Twilight, we can't find her and we think she is in danger. Fighting with that wolf virus." said Applejack. "Oh that virus again occur, unfortunately I have no natural cure. That virus is something strong, that can last forever long." she said. "But, forever is a long time..." Rarity said and gulped. "Let's find the others Applejack, maybe they found something." she said and after Applejack nodded they attempted to leave but Zecora stopped them. She gave a wand to Rarity and said, "Ancient ancestor wand it is, can get through whatever danger your faith leads, here is the book that can manage these, please Applejack have this." she said. "Before we find them, let's look at this book at your house Rarity!" said Applejack and they nodded and leaded their way to Rarity's house. ------------------------------------ "Spike where are you? It is more than a joke now, if you are hiding. I give up, show yourself. Spike?" said Pinkie Pie. Spike opened his eyes. Where was he? Where was Pinkie Pie... He suddenly came across, in a little dark place, under the trees, with Twilight Wolf. " Twilight! Is, is that you? Please don't hurt me." Spike said. "I am figting with it Spike, it is not powerful much on mornings but on nights i can't sometimes resist. Help me, please! I can't use magic. she said. "Spike? You there?" Pinkie asked. "Hurry, I will be hiding in this cave untill you find something." said Twilight. "Here, have some apple." said Spike and nodded and left the cave. "Wow Spike, there you are. So you ran to the resting spot just to impress me didn't you? Let's go in and rest..." said Pinkie. "NO!" Spike shouted. "I mean... No... We can't." he corrected himself in a little lower voice. "This place is a little rocky why don't we rest on another spot? Shall we?" asked Spike. "Oh, this means you still have your energy, that is the spirit! Let's go!" Pinkie cheered. "Yay." Spike said and rolled his eyes and got sad. ------------------------------------ "So, we can turn animals into plants, or non-living objects, we can make sweets and food, we can even get a little flying but we can't turn a wolf back to a pony? Really what is the sense in this book?" Applejack asked. "We have faith, we will resist and fight untill we get our friend back. Let's keep looking while I try this spell again. Maybe instead of a plant name if I say an animal it can happen." said Rarity. "From one to three, what can Opal turn into be, for a little, let her become a pony." Rarity said and made her wand spark little pink flames. They both gasped, a meowing pony. "Opal?" Rarity asked and got a "Meow" as an answer from her mare pet. "Do you know what this means Applejack?" asked Rarity. "We can get Twilight back to a pony!" Applejack said and smiled. ------------------------------------ "You sure, Fluttershy? Do you think this will work? Though we did not find any results we can look for more?" continued Rainbow Dash. "It... It is gone... Someone stole it from my castle." said Princess Celestia. "But... Who can it be?" asked Luna. Fluttershy and Rainbow Dash looked at eachother and "Caravan!" they said. "We have a caravan to search!". "That brat! Girls, be safe, that pony can easily harm people. We will be searching clues from our library, take care!" Luna said and watched them leave the castle. ------------------------------------ "I just looked like half an hour for you... Why did you leave before hiding though?". Pinkie asked. If Spike told her that she was there, Pinkie can tell that to her friend or princesses which won't be result well, just like Fluttershy's. "That... That is the purpose Pinkie, just wanted to suprise you with my secret hide and seek. I scared you, huh?" he asked. "Not even a little, silly... Ok, maybe a teensy little. But what would happen if I could not find you?" asked Pinkie Pie. "Don't worry Pinkie Pie, I would appear..." he said and smiled. Pinkie shrugged, and started to laugh. Spike joined her laugh with his fake ones. "Oh, Pinkie, on the horizon... There it is, the old castle of the two sisters." said Spike. "Ready for tons and tons of search?" Pinkie asked. "Tomorrow, I will be the one who will save my friend. I was born ready Pinkie Pie!" said Spike and frowned and smiled. ------------------------------------ Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy finally landed near the caravan. "Get out! We have to talk with you!" Rainbow Dash yelled. "Who, can wake Trixie The Greatest from her beauty sleep?" she asked and gasped when she saw the pegasi ponies. "What do you want?" she asked. "You have something that we need and we are not leaving untill we get it." continued Rainbow Dash. "What, I don't understand, what are you looking for?". asked Trixie Lulamoon. "Amulet, The Amulet Of Alicorn!" said Fluttershy. -MORE COMING SOON- > Chapter Three: The Alicorn Amulet > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy finally landed near the caravan. "Get out! We have to talk with you!" Rainbow Dash yelled. "Who, can wake Trixie The Greatest from her beauty sleep?" she asked and gasped when she saw the pegasi ponies. "What do you want?" she asked. "You have something that we need and we are not leaving untill we get it." continued Rainbow Dash. "What, I don't understand, what are you looking for?". asked Trixie Lulamoon. "Amulet, The Amulet Of Alicorn!" said Fluttershy. Trixie laughed. "You girls, you are insane. You must be out of your minds. Let me remind you..." she said and cleared her throat. "YOUR UGLY PURPLE UNICORN FRIEND TOOK MY AMULET AND SHE HAS IT NOW!" she yelled at them. "So..." she said. "You are looking for it in a wrong place. Bye!" she said and attempted to close the door but Rainbow Dash put her hoof when she was about to. "Not that easy, Lulamoon. It is true that she has it but she gave it to Princess. Which is not in her castle anymore..." said Rainbow Dash. "What does this mean? So, what am I suppose to say? You jerks, you lost it.... Congratulations!" she said and clapped them. "This means, Trixie, that a thief sneaked into our princess' castle and took the amulet. If you insist not accepting it, I apologize but we have to search for your caravan." Fluttershy said. Trixie made an evil laugh. "You fools, you don't even know what is going on.... You did not even notice when I took it a month ago and you just recognize that it is missing now... The Great and Powerful Trixie, with the amulet is powerful and undefeatable, so who do you think are you that I have to lie to? I can do anything with this amulet, even turn both of you into fried chickens." she said and laughed again. "Oh we guessed it, so we are kindly requesting it for usage to save our friend,Twilight." Fluttershy said. "We don't want any problems here." she continued. "Why would I help your friend who took my amulet from me?" Trixie asked. "Because if you don't Princesses will come here and get it by theirselves. Two alicorns against you, oh if we also count Princess Cadance, three. With them, there is no chance for you to win with that amulet." said Rainbow Dash and smiled. "Or..." Trixie said and showed them the amulet which was levitated by her horn and wore it on her neck. "Or I can turn both of you into chickens so that you can't fly back to your uglyville?" she said and giggled. "Oh, we are smarter than you Trixie. We told to Princesses that if we won't return in two hours they will come. So it is up to you... And also it is Ponyville! " Fluttershy said. Trixie frowned. "Why do you need my amulet if you have three alicorn powers as your allie?" she asked. "Because your amulet comes from evil and dark side, which can also be the best and the only option to fix curses and viruses. Since Twilight is infected, we can use it to get her back." Fluttershy said. "Infected? What kind of change?" Trixie asked. "Let's say a wolf virus, so Trixie you pick the hard, or the easy way?" Rainbow Dash asked. Trixie laughed. "You messed with the wrong mare..." she said. "You said two hours right? Hahahaha... Enough time for me to turn you two into chickens and escape?" she said and with a great red-purple explosion she cast a magic with her amulet power. "Don't worry my darlings... It is... Temperor..." she said and laughed and opened a portel which showed Crystal Empire. Luckily, though they were chicken they had consciousness so they managed to jump through the portal after Trixie did, and luckily she did not see them. However with a little jump Flutter chicken achieved to grab the necklace from Trixie's neck and started to run away while Rainbow Dash was trying to fly. Trixie noticed the two chicken who turned back into pony and ran away. While runing which turned into a flying soon, they were trying to dodge and block the cast and spells and explosions that were coming over them. "When is the closest train to Ponyville?" Fluttershy asked in panic and rush. "In a minute it will, hurry Fluttershy!" Rainbow Dash was calling her. At last they were close to a train. Train started to leave the station and they were trying to reach it while Trixie was running. Trixie casted last one more magic, which was like a throwing spear. With a rush Rainbow Dash pulled Fluttershy and they jumped into train with window and Trixie yelled "NOOOO!" and she could not make in but she was trying her best. She tried to teleport to the train which was far far away. She, however did not gave up. She created a giant train which was following the train on forward. Everypony in Fluttershy and Rainbow Dash's train panicked when they saw a fast giant train coming and trying to crash them. "Rainbow Dash, we need to leave the train." said Fluttershy. "Are you insane Fluttershy?" Rainbow Dash asked. "No, but she want us. We can't risk others lives for our safety." she said. Rainbow Dash nod and held her hand. "Hold it tight. We have a village to go, from Crystal Empire!" she said. Fluttershy blushed and nodded. They jumped out and flew away from the train but still they were following the rails pathways. "I have an idea! Cadance! We can go to castle, or else we won't make it Rainbow Dash!" Fluttershy said. Rainbow Dash nodded and they saw castle and entered in when Trixie stopped and waited them outside. "You said what?" one of the Royal Guards asked. "Princess Cadance, we need to see her..." Fluttershy said. "I am sorry, if we let all people in to see our princess than we would not make this castle instead we would make a random village house." other Royal Guard said. Luckily Shining Armor came and asked "What is going on here?". Soon he recognized the two ponies who were her sisters friends. "Rainbow Dash, Fluttershy? Welcome... Ugh, what brings you here?" he asked. "Oh Shining Armor, it is terrible, we have some terrible news for you..." said Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy nodded behind. Shining Armor raised one of his eyebrow and said "Huh? Girls, why don't you come in and let us discuss it inside?" Both mares nodded and they told everything to both Princess Cadance and Shining Armor. Shining Armor got angry and told guards to prepare a carriage to Ponyville and they started to enter while Princess Cadance said "Goodbye!" to them because she needed to protect the empire when Shining Armor is away. When they started their trip with the flyin carriage suddenly a giant red light made the two guards faint and carriage started to fall. With a quick movement, though guards fell, Fluttershy and Rainbow Dash achieved to carry Shining Armor. As they came closer to the ground they finally saw Trixie smiling at them. "Oh, shoot! So close to kill your prince. You have something that belongs to me... I never thought, with that amulet, wouldn't it be so easy to rule this empire, or maybe even Canterlot, and even more the whole Equestria. Queen Trixie, The Queen of Mischief. I can even see the claps behind it when someone says my name. Ah, marvelous, just marvelous... Time to turn back into chickens my little ponies." Trixie said and smiled and lit her horn. She aimed the three ponies but luckily Shining Armor woke up and blocked the magic with a counter magic. He than with a quite attack punched her with his magic. It was a though one which made Trixie fall to the ground however it was not enough to win Trixie. "I want my freaking amulet back that you stole from me. Taste this , Prince!" she said and they started a magic duel. "Trixie, cut it, you are wasting your time... We did not steal it from you, you stole it from us, this amulet is dangerous, which must be kept in Canterlot! If you keep doing this, more pony will die in Ponyville and more pony will suffer and it will be harder and longer to find a solution to the cure of this virus." Fluttershy said while she was watching two unicorn ponies fighting. "You fool, it all started because of you. I read the news. You were the freaking fool, who was so damn a scaredy cat. Ugh, you were looking much more brave when you were a chicken. You and your virus, why do I have to clean your mess? It is your problem, not mine. But something here is mine, the amulet! Give it back colourful idiot!" Trixie said and looked at Rainbow Dash. "If you talk to Fluttershy like that, I will suffocate you with that cape of yours." Rainbow Dash said and came closer to Trixie. Battle stopped. "Rainbow Dash don't!" Fluttershy said. "Oh just try it, you stupid colourful pony. You need pink instead of red, it would be more like you, and your idiotic style." Trixie said. "Time for fist to fist girl!" Rainbow Dash said and jumped onto Trixie. "It is not my type, pegasus!" Trixie yelled and casted a spell on Rainbow Dash which made her faint. Fluttershy acted quick and achieved to get the amulet. "Give me my amulet back! Now! Or else I will kill your love." Trixie said and looked to Fluttershy. "Love?" Shining Armor asked and looked at Fluttershy. Fluttershy blushed and nodded. "Me and Rainbow Dash, we are dating..." she said and saw Shining gasping. "Well, it is none of my and your business Trixie!" Shining said and casted a quick spell and made Trixie hit to a tree. She fainted. The two ponies achieved to wake Rainbow Dash up and they started their long journey by catching the last train. "So, I came, but what was our plan now?" asked Shining Armor. "To use amulet on Twilight to take her back to pony." Rainbow Dash said. "Rainbow Dash, before finding shouldn't we first find the others and show them? Maybe they can have more effective solutions?" Fluttershy asked. "No, we can't lose that much time... If you would like to inform them we can get seperate, but I will go and use this amulet to save her." she said. "With which horn excuse me?" Shining Armor asked. "You need a unicorn to cast a spell, so it is up to you, i can help but I am not good at magics. I just know the simple ones." he said. "At least we can try..." Rainbow Dash said. "No we can't! Don't you remember the time that Twilight locked that in vault. We need a strong and a pony with good magic, who needs to resist the control of the amulet. We can't just risk him to get much worse results, maybe another villain." Fluttershy said. "Yes, we can, if we want to save our friend." Rainbow Dash said. "We are not even sure it will hundred percent work." Fluttershy said. "We will try! If you have any other ideas tell me. How can we find another unicorn pony who is good at magic? Rarity? An alicorn? Alicorns can't use this amulet. Tell me who can it be, Rarity's magic is much more simple than Shining's." said Rainbow Dash. "Thanks." Shining replied. "Hey, wait a minute, that was rude..." he complained. "Sorry." Rainbow Dash said and looked back at Fluttershy. "I know who can help us..." Fluttershy said. "Really, don't tell me Trixie..." Rainbow Dash said. Fluttershy laughed. "Trixie? No. We are going to the human portal. We need Sunset Shimmer, the old student of Princess Celestia. We need her." she continued. -MORE COMING SOON- > Chapter Four: Love > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- After a long walk, with Pinkie carrying bags, so that Spike can not sit on her back, he could not feel his legs no longer. "Pinkie Pie! I think we need to have a rest here..." said Spike. "I am so tired..." "Are you sure? We are like so close to it?" said Pinkie Pie and saw Spike nodding. It was a long journey, and when Spike sat on a cut tree he just started to dream. He suddenly opened his eyes. He wondered if their friends were ok... "Pinkie Pie?" asked Spike. Pinkie Pie looked at him. "I wish we could get those firework guns. Maybe that could help us contact if our friends are in danger right now or not." Pinkie Pie nodded and shrugged. "I know, but I was not able to make more and yet we are too far away from them. So I do not predict and think that neither with those guns they could here us nor we could hear them. " Spike nodded back too. After they rested for two hours they woke up and continued to their long journey. When they, at last, arrived Spike and Pinkie Pie did not know where to start searching. There were lots of halls to go and also tons of books to search. "So do you want to get seperated or go together, Spike?" asked Pinkie Pie. "Together of course... You know how many traps are here... Since we have no magic it makes things harder and harder to solve..." said Spike with a little fear. Pinkie Pie nodded and they began from room to room to search and find something. When they were about to head to the other room, they realised two ponies standing there. "Princess Celestia! What brings you here? And Princess Luna?" asked Spike in a suprised way. Princess Celestia smiled at Spike and said "Oh my dear poor Spike! You were here too? We just got to news? We just rushed here to remove, I mean find the solution. Since you are here have you found anything?" "We just came here from a very, very rocky and bouncy road. We searched the first room and we found nothing but than when we headed to the second room, I mean this room, we just saw you... So unfortunately we have nothing..." said Pinkie Pie. "Oh, what were you searching for?" asked Princess Luna. "Any book that can be a solution or even that can give us a clue..." said Spike. "Ok let's keep searching than." said Pinkie Pie and all four of them started to look for a clue. After a long search Spike noticed something. The book was named as "Living creatures in Equestria." and just from the index page he found timber wolves and soon a virus about it. It is cure was... Just Spike was about to read the rest Princess Celestia took the book and said "What do we have here?". "I was just about to read Princess, what does it say?" asked Spike. Pinkie Pie and Luna came. Princess Celestia started to giggle first and that giggle turned into an evil laugh. Princess Luna joined her and Pinkie Pie hugged Spike. After a green light appeared in front of the two, there were not even a trail of both Princesses. Yet, there were two other ponies. Actually and theorically, one of them were not that much look-a-like ponies. "Hahaha... I mean, I thought it would be much more harder to trick the 'savior' of the Crystal Empire, but it was even easier than taking a candy from a filly." said Crysalis and laughed again. On her back there was Trixie. "Trixie? How did you turn? Hey you are not a changeling? How?" asked Pinkie Pie. Trixie laughed also. "Uh Crysalis, you sure that is 'the savior', if he is, he should know that he must be friends with much more smarter ponies. Your two pegasi friends took something from me and I am not going to let you to solve this mystery. Since Twilight is gone, soon turning into a full wolf, there won't be anything that can stop me from being the best magician unicorn pony!." she than said. Chrysalis continued. "And since without that purple fur-ball, no elements of harmony. And welcome 'Hostility'. No more obstacles for me and the rest of your enemies. Including the one next to me." "I have a name you know?" asked Trixie. "QUIET!" shouted Crysalis! "Wait a minute, this is non-sense." said Spike. "What do you mean, baby dragon?". asked Crysalis. "You were not defeated by elements of harmony. You were defeated from love. And also look back!" said Spike. When Crysalis looked back her eye-balls got bigger and bigger. "You know, Crysalis? I might be a 'savior', not to exaggurate but, I am always one step forward than you. Since they are here I will be sitting on that couch with Pinkie Pie and-" said Spike but Pinkie Pie interrupted him. "And we will eat popcorn!" said Pinkie Pie. Princess Cadance and Shining Armor hugged each other and made Crysalis blasting off again just like the Rocket team from Pokemon. "How! When?" asked Trixie. "You know, you should be friends with smarter ponies, or changelings (though I do not recommend), Trixie. I just knew that you two can't be here because Canterlot is far away from here. And while you were here the moon was rising. So tell me, if both Princesses' were here, who raised the moon? As soon as I noticed it, I found out that you two were changelings and than sent a letter to Shining Armor and they came here while we searching. I found the book from the first room but I lied to you. We searched for nothing, all those waiting and acting was just for you to get defeated. One thing that suprised me is that you were actually not a changeling but that is all!" said Spike and smiled. "I would prefer Apple Jack and Rarity or Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy, to trick us." said Pinkie Pie and giggled. "Arrrghh!! You stupid fools! I wany my amulet back! What will you do to me? I can escape from here..." said Trixie. "Actually for that, you can not anymore, I am so sorry but from an ancient book that I read, I saw a magic consuming Tirek spell. Though he is a legend and unknown, I might be able to make the magic work." said Princess Cadance. Trixie turned back angrily and yelled "YOU HAVE NO FREAKING RIGHTS TO DO THAT TO ME!". "Actually she does, she is a Princess and she also has the right since you are guilty." said Shining Armor and than Princess Cadance consumed her magic. Trixie fell but than stood up. She laughed in an evil way. You fools, since childhood I have been learning dark magic, instead of light. That is because dark magic is more sneaky and powerful and easier to solve anything. Now that you have taken it from me..." "You will be a good pony now! Woohooo!" Pinkie Pie interrupted. "Unfortunately maybe yes, but Princess Cadance I am so honored that my magic is know crawling all in your body. And it will be the first Princess who will have dark magic. An evil Princess. Princess of Love turns into Princess of Hatred! Oh my! Wonderful, just wonderful!" she laughed and than she was taken by royal guards to the Canterlot Prison. "Is that going to happen?" asked Pinkie Pie. "I never thought that risk." said Princess Cadance in a worried way. "But since this magic can not be turned back, I guess I have no solutions. There were no solutions to turn this magic back and ponies are still trying to find it but..." "But we are sure you are strong and filled with love so you can get over with it." said Shining Armor and smiled at Princess Cadance. Princess Cadance nodded. "Now,,," she said. "Let's continue that book where the solution is." "So it says here that..." Spike began. "A timber virus once it gets onto another living organism, to turn it back, the only solution is..." "What is it?" asked Pinkie Pie. Spike ate his nails and dropped the book. Princess Cadance took the book. "Ugh wonderful, just wonderful. How can we solve this issue with Elements of Harmony when it is lacking one? And why Elements of Harmony can be the only thing that can solve it?". "That is it! Spike I found it!" said Pinkie Pie. "What?" the other three asked. "Since timber virus, I mean timber wolves are living with the help of existence of the dark magic, only elements of harmony can solve it..." said Pinkie Pie. "And in what case that can help us?" asked Spike. "Just listen carefully!" said Pinkie Pie. "Yet, Crysalis lived with dark magic too and she was defeated by them." said Pinkie Pie. "So, what do you mean?" asked Spike. "It means that we were searching for nothing. The solution and cure was maybe with us all the time!" said Pinkie Pie. "Which are them!" said Spike. "Yes!" screamed Pinkie Pie and nodded. "You are a genious Pinkie Pie! Let's find Twilight. I know where to look!" said Spike. "How do you know where to look?" asked Princess Cadance. "Ugh, I think when we were here Pinkie, I was not playing hide and seek with you..." said Spike and closed his left eye in a sad way. "What do you mean Spike?" asked Pinkie Pie. "I fell and saw Twilight." said Spike. "WHAT!" everypony asked. "Spike why didn't you tell us?" asked Pinkie Pie. "I am sorry Pinkie, I thought maybe somepony can find a plan or a solution that might kill her..." said Spike. "Well at least you told us now. It's OK." said Pinkie Pie. Spike nodded. "I talked with her, do you remember the cave that we were going to rest to come here?" "Yea, the one that you did not prefer to rest, right?" asked Pinkie Pie. "Exactly, she is right in there. Let's go! Spike said. And with Spike back on Shining Armor, Pinkie Pie carrying the packs and Princess Cadance levitating the book they rushed to the cave. Spike was at least hopeful that this trip would be shorter than to go to Ponyville. He just hoped, after spending almost a day in the old castle, that his old friend is still there. Maybe at last, Spike noticed himself smiling, on the back of Shining Armor. Maybe he and his friend Pinkie Pie achieved to find the only and most affective solution to save his best friend. In those dilemmas and hopes yet, there was somepony who did not give up. Crysalis stopped the rushing ponies and slowly landed to the ground."You think, darlings, that one blast can keep me away from my purpose? Since you know the solution now, I have nothing but to kill you all." said Crysalis and casted a spell on Spike. Which was a hit spell that made him fell from Shining Armor's back. Shining Armor tried to attack with his horn but Crysalis was powerful and made Shining Armor fell. "Anyone else daring to find me? Princess maybe you? Or that fun pony with balloons?" asked Crysalis. Pinkie Pie laughed and thanked and than frowned. She was trying to attack her with her cannon but it did not do anything but just blowing a huge wind onto Crysalis, which made her smile once in her lifetime. But with that, Cadance got benefit from that distraction and consumed Crysalis' magic. Crysalis fell weak and fainted and with royal guards returning back they took her to prison too. Princess Cadance from pain screamed and fainted. She soon opened her eyes. Looked at everypony, looking all at her. She was struggling too hard to stand up, soon Shining Armor helped her to stand up. He was shocked. Princess Cadance looked at Spike hiding behind his pink pony friend. "Cadance." Shining Armor said. "Dark magic, you consumed a lot." said Shining Armor. "What is going on?" Princess asked. "Princess Cadance, your colours, they faded. > Chapter Five: Shimmer > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- "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? -MORE COMING SOON- > Chapter Six: Harmony > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- "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. "You have something that belongs to me, and without your purple friend you can not stop me! And I will not let you bring her back!" Trixie yelled at Rarity. Rarity was trying her best to resist but Trixie's power, though without that amulet, was still strong enough to beat her. Rarity was good at dodging and blocking the attacks but than she got hit. "NO!" screamed Spike. A tear dropped from his eye. He was still trying to hold that rope to make Twilight stand still with his baby hands. Trixie laughed evilly. She came near to the white unicorn who fainted. Trixie lit her horn and was about to finish her! Trixie turned to them. "Please welcome me, as the new element, element of disharmony!" she said. "I must say, Crysalis was slowing me... It came much better without her..." . Suddenly, in her evil laughs she got hit by someone. Spike looked at it. Who was she? She can't be Princesses or Sunset Shimmer... Sunset Shimmer was trying to focus on the spell she was about to make... Was that...? Princess Cadance stood up... "Well, I can defeat you myself... Stop playing with weak. Find yourself an equal one..." she said. "Well that is better Princess!" she said and she threw a smoke at Cadance. Cadance was caughing and she could not see anything. Trixie was beating her in smoke's disguise. Yet Cadance found her and levitated with her horn. She opened her wings. "Let me put this mare, to the dungeon... Now, she will see who is the real boss..." she said and left. Spike applaused to her, though he could not clap... Rarity stood up. She ran to Sunset Shimmer, being glad that Trixie was gone for good. "Do it!" she said. Sunset Shimmer nodded and her eyes turned into red and a huge spell of casting attacked to Twilight Sparkle. Twilight Sparkle in that pain, got wilder and crazier, she achieved to tear the vines. She started to run, but than she fell. She stood up, trying to walk slowly but than she fainted. The cast was done... All ponies came near to the purple pony laying on the ground... Her claws got little and than disappeared. Just like her whiskers and big pointy nose... She was back to pony, but she was not able to stand up. She was still unconscious... While everypony was looking at her, Sunset Shimmer punched Rainbow Dash and tied Princess Luna. Levitated all the others and dropped them to ground. "I must say, after doing what you say, I resisted... But this thing was talking to me, whispering. I am truly me now, with the help of the whispers of this amulet.. Yet I have a better idea..." she said. The Alicorn Amulet was controlling her... "Though we can not make it used by alicorns, except, the darkness can be still controlled by them..." Sunset Shimmer said. "What are you up to? Sunset Shimmer this is not you!" Princess Celestia yelled... "Yes, and don't worry, I will be back to normal. Just let me finish the suprise that I was thinking for you... You know, I always knew that I was a strong and limitless unicorn but yet, I can't fight against an alicorn. I am not that strong. And outer enemies are easy to handle, yet..." she said and levitated half-fainted Luna to herself. "Suprise!" she screamed and laughed... "This is not a suprise! I love suprises! This will be something sad. It can't be catagorized in suprise!" Pinkie Pie complained. "Everything was about to be back to normal, but problems keep coming and coming..." Fluttershy said. Twilight Sparkle stood up. She was back to normal and Ponyville achieved to get rid of the wolf virus at last. "Stop it! Sunset Shimmer, this is not you! Remember the things we did in Canterlot Highschool!" Twilight said. The rest of the ponies wereso glad that she was back to normal, they hugged her. "This is the end of it! I am not Sunset Shimmer you idiots! I am darkness, using a mortal body to talk to you! And this is going to end!" Sunset Shimmer screamed and removed her amulet and put it on Princess Luna... Sunset Shimmer fainted. Everypony helped her get up. "I tried so hard to resist... I am so sorry Twilight, you are my best friend..." Sunset Shimmer said. She was still having a hard time to stand up. Twilight hugged her. "It is not your fault." she said. Everybody looked at eachother. Soon they heard a mature scream. It was coming from Princess Luna. Her horn was casting bolts of black magic. She was screaming and than there was a huge glow appeared in front of them. The explosion made them fall back. Everybody stood up... Asking each other if everything was ok... Princess Luna was safe... They saw her and hugged her... Princess Luna fake smiled at them. "Where did the amulet go?" Twilight asked to her. "I think it dissappeared." Luna said. "That explains the explosion." Rainbow Dash said. "I am so happy that, everything is back to normal." Apple Jack included. They hugged again. "THIS CALLS FOR A PARTEEYYY!" Pinkie Pie yelled. And since the last Fluttershy party, with the remainings they added some new things. Everypony from all Equestria came back to the party, which was cancelled because of the weather conditions. Instead this time, the banner was saying "Welcome back Fluttershy and Twilight!". They were all celebrating the victory that they achieved... The rest of the ponies were talking and playing games, enjoying their meals. Including Pinkie Pie who dived to the celebration cake of Twilight and Fluttershy. Spike was so dizzy and his head was spinning . He puked a little, it was because of eating lots of gems. Princess Luna kicked her with her hoof. "Out of my way, brat!" she said. Spike looked at her. Princess Luna rolled her eyes. Princess Celestia wanted to talk to her but she denied. Something was wrong about Princess Luna... Princess Luna checked if anypony was following her... She looked back, but all the ponies were enjoying the party. She looked at the mane six, who were dancing together. "Dance, my little ponies. Dance! Dance, under my strings..." she said and laughed. Her eyes glew into green. Spike saw it but he was caught by Pinkie Pie. He thought maybe he saw it wrong. When he looked back Princess Luna was not there. Luna headed back to the backyard of the party. She saw the pony that she was expecting and bowed to her. "I must say, when I communicated with dark magic, I did not know he would come up with a plan like this. You are my idol! I can't believe we are doing this. The dark mare came closer to her... "They did not understand the truth right?" the dark mare asked to Luna. "Not even a little..." she said and Luna turned into Chrysalis. "I must say, long disguises are so taking long to get back to normal. You still have your amulet though, that is fantastic." Chrysalis continued. "That explosion, helped us change places. Just let them still think that you are the real Luna." dark mare said. "Of course my master..." Chrysalis said... They both started to laugh evilly. "I must admit..." Nightmare Moon said. "This party bored me a lot. Let's bring the chaos back!" she said. She was about to cast a magic but someone stopped her. "Chaos? That is my job, I am afraid...". the intruder included. "Oh my, what do we owe this visit for?" Nightmare Moon laughed. "I want to help you... To stop this sweetness, to stop this harmony... And with our dark magic it is possible. Just two things must be stopped. Love and elements of harmony! Than we will be truly safe. " he said. "Do you know how to stop that Discord?" Chrysalis asked. "Of course I do! Here have these as a present to my new queen." Discord said and smiled. "Discord, I must admit, I will make you the king of this Ponyville!" Nightmare Moon said. "And I will be the Queen of Equestria." she said and smiled. "What about me?" Chrysalis asked. "The Queen of Crystal Empire." she replied. They all laughed. "Yet, I have one condition." Discord said. Nightmare Moon took back to her serious manner. "What is it?" she asked. "Promise not to touch Fluttershy! Or else there won't be no deal..." Discord said. "The yellow pony? With pink mane?" Nightmare Moon asked. "Exactly!" Discord said. "Oh believe me she will have much more worries, after that virus she got." Nightmare Moon said. "Discord, let the real party begin!" All three laughed again. While Discord with the help of the given magic by Nightmare Moon, started his job.... "Do you smell that?" Discord asked. "What?" Chrysalis asked. " You smell like fish..." "No, not that! The smell of chaos!" Discord said. They laughed again. The rain turned into a hurricane, with cotton candy clouds pouring chocolate milk rain. With the loud thunders, moving alive houses, all ponies started to panic and run away. In the party, the glasses started to break and all ponies started to leave the building. They were leaving to everywhere... Princess Celestia yelled at Twilight. "RUN! SAVE YOUR LIVES!". The whole place was collapsing, earthquakes and storm was preventing them. Everybody tried to enter to the train. All of them were in but Fluttershy was behind carrying Angel on her back. She achieved to came and she was about to, with her last jump enter the train, Angel jumped from her back and jumped the train. Fluttershy, however, was held from her tail. She was put in a magical bag. "You are coming with me..." Discord said and laughed. Twilight and Rainbow Dash was about to leave the train but the doors closed and started to leave. "Spike are you ok?" Twilight Sparkle asked to Spike. Spike nodded. "That was Discord! How could he find that magic to do this?" he asked. Twilight Sparkle was unaware of the answer but she knew it was dark magic. Rarity and Applejack and Rainbow Dash looked at each other. "OH NO! WE CAN'T LEAVE!" they screamed. "What is going on?" Twilight asked. "You can't go back there... That place is not safe yet, it is collapsing. Everypony else in there is probably dead if they did not leave..." "You do not understand sugarcube!" Apple Jack yelled and started to cry. " Big Mac and Granny Smith. We left them. I left them. It is my fault!" Applejack blamed herself. She started to cry. "Of course it is not your fault! It is Discord's! Stop crying. You just tried to survive. Let's hope that they are okay." said Spike. "I hope, Fluttershy is safe..." said Rainbow Dash. "Don't worry..." said Twilight Sparkle and hugged her. "The only pony that I know that Discord can't hurt is, Fluttershy, herself." Twilight said. "Apple Bloom, Sweetie Belle, Scootaloo! What will happen to them! They were at the tree house!" Rarity said and cried with Apple Jack. Rainbow Dash started to cry too... Just like any other pony in the cart. Suddenly the train crashed on something and they all hit their heads. Everypony fainted with the sudden hit they got. Some of them died... When Twilight opened her eyes, she was in a dungeon. Dungeon that Princess Celestia made. Her friends was safe. She got reliefed but Princess Celestia were their too. Her horn was slimed. She was not able to cast magic. Just like Rarity and herself. She started to cry. Celestia opened her eyes.... "Princess Celestia are you okay?" Twilight Sparkle asked. Princess Celestia nodded. "Unfortunately, the other ponies are not. Changeling army attacked to ponyville. They bite and kill them. And make them turn into changelings just like themselves. They are losing their unity. Many of our friends died." Celestia said. And a drop came from her eye. Dropped on the wet floor of the dungeon... -THE END?-
