Evil is on the Horizon

It was a beautiful day in ponyville. Just like everyday Twilight would get up, make breakfast, and read a little, but today was different. Twilight had gotten up and rushed out the door faster then Dash could fly. The reason twilight was running
was because and urgent message from Princess Celestia had popped in just as Twilight was getting ready.


Twilight finally got to sweet apple acres after a few minutes of running to finally run into Applejack who was bucking
the apple trees after getting up a few hours before:


"APPLEJACK!" Twilight shouted out in a sort of panicked state.


AJ then stopped bucking and ran full speed towards the lavender pony to see what was the matter.


"What's wrong Sugarcube?" AJ was trying to comfort Twilight who was still breathing heavily from the running.


"AJ. It's the princess. She needs to see all of us at once."


"Alright then. let's go." The 2 ponies then rushed towards Fluttershy's cottage just as she was heading straight for Ponyville.


"Fluttershy." Applejack was with Twilight when she called out to the yellow pony.


"Oh. Hi guys. Whats wrong?"


Twilight then told Fluttershy the same thing and the three ran to Dash's place.


After getting everypony Twilight then zapped them all to Canterlot.


At the Palace Celestia had gotten up from her throne and greeted the six ponies with a worried look on her face.
after greeting them Twilight was starting to get worried about what was going on.


"Princess? Why did you call us all here?"


Celestia had then turned to look at the ponies to tell then about why she called them here.


"I have called you all here because another ancient evil know as Metanite has come back to seek revenge
on Equestria."


Twilight then looked at Celestia with a defused look on her face.


"What do you mean revenge Princess?"


Celestia then showed them to a secret room filled with stain glass windows showing Metanite destroying
everything in his path.


"Metanite is seeking revenge since Me and My sister had encased him in stone over 300 years ago.
We thought we had defeated him but recently the statue was destroyed by vandals and because of this
the spirit had broke free and will soon take original form and seek revenge on us. you defeated discord
7 years ago, but now this is the biggest challenge you have to face. He is weak now, but in a while
he will come to full power and will become near impossible to defeat. Go my little ponies, and defeat
him once and for all!"


After the Princess gave them their task they left the palace and headed straight for ponyville.


After a few minutes the six came back to see a shocking discovery. Ponyville was Aflame, Hundreds of
ponies were either dead or injured, and half of the shops were destroyed. The ponies then caught a glimpse
of Metanite; He was a large dinosaur like creature with large wings, spikes on his back arms and legs,
and was shooting bluish red fire from his mouth.


The creature then turned around and looked at the ponies showing
and evil grin on his face.


"How do you like it?" The monster snarled, smoke coming from his muzzle.


"I did this as a welcoming home party for you. I saw you with Tia' and I just had to
do something for you six."


Dash then raced up to Monster with an angry look on her face.


"LOOK AT WHAT YOU'VE DONE! YOU'VE KILLED HUNDREDS OUT OF YOUR OWN
AMUSEMENT! LET'S GO! YOU, ME RIGHT NOW!"


Dash then put her hoofs up in a fighting pose jumping all around.


"Dash! What are you doing!? It's no use!"


Twilight was panicked trying to talk Dash down from the huge monster. Dash finally gave in
and came back down to the others. Metanite then started to laugh in enjoyment.


"Well, I'm sorry I can't stay for long, but there are a lot of more things I have to do. In the mean time though..."


Metanite then snapped his fingers zapping the ponies to the Everfree Forrest.


"Feel free to roam around here until I get back. By then I'll have regained full power."


Metanite then flew off towards Canterlot wanting to meet the Princess.


Dash then looked at Twilight who was watching Ponyville burn. tears then started to run down her eyes.


"I can't believe it. We just get here and all of a sudden Ponyville is destroyed withing a matter of hours.
who knows how long he's been here for."


Pinkie then looked at Twilight.


"I thought the Princess wanted us to use the elements again."


Twilight then hung her head. Tears were now flowing harder.


"It's no use Pinkie. By the time we get back Metanite would have already gained full power."


Dash then looked at Twilight.


"Can't you use the teleportation spell?"


Twilight then looked at the others.


"I can't to get us all back we need one more Unicorn since Rarity doesn't know it!"


Dash was confused.


"But what about when you teleported us all to Canterlot?"


"It's a one time spell. It needs to recharge for the rest of the night to use again, and we
can't wait that long."


Rarity then went up to Twilight.


"I know the team teleport spell."


Twilight then looked at Rarity with a confused look on her face.


"How do you know it?"


"Just a few days ago I was reading a book on spells when I came across the teleportation spell.
I found out it needed two unicorns so I practiced it just in case."


Twilight then hugged rarity in relief. The two ponies then got together
and teleported them all to the library which was still in good condition. Twilight then rushed to the bookshelf
and found the elements in her book marked. "DO NOT OPEN UNLESS NEEDED"


Twilight then opened the book giving the ponies their elements; Kindness, Generosity, Loyalty, Laughter, Honesty,
and Magic. The ponies then put the elements on and looked at each other. Twilight then spoke first:


"You know If we do find him again. He might have already gained power."


Dash then looked at Twilight confused.


"So what? If he gains full power we can still beat the thing. Just like Discord."


Twilight then sighed.


"You don't get it. If he regains full power. We can still defeat him...But we might have to sacrifice
our lives to save the people of Equestria."


The six just stood quiet for a moment.
Fluttershy then spoke.


"Alright then."


The others then looked at Fluttershy shocked. Dash then spoke out.


"Y..Your actually willing to put yourself on the line?"


Fluttershy shook her head in agreement before speaking again:


"If that's the way it has to be. Then so be it."


The other ponies were still shocked about Fluttershy's attitude. They have barley seen Fluttershy
stand up like this, and hearing that she was willing to get herself killed just sent shock through
their bodies. Twilight then bought her head up in agreement.


"Alright then. If fluttershy is willing to die then I am to!"


Dash then agreed also. then Applejack, then Pinkie Pie, then Rarity.
Twilight then looked at the others again.


"Just before we go I would like to say I enjoyed hanging out with you all, and all those fun times
will always be fun. Let's go"


As the ponies were walking out twilight hugged each and everyone of them one by one until closing the door.


"Lets get going guys. We have a long journey ahead of us."


The ponies then raced all the way to Canterlot for the Battle of a Lifetime, and defeat Metanite once and for all.

The long journey ahead

"Twilight. How much longer are we going to be? I just want to wrap my hooves around his..."

"DASH!"

Twilight yelled out furious and annoyed from the long walk.

Dash then hung her head and sighed:


"Twilight I'm sorry, It's just we've been walking for hours and who knows what

Metanite has already done by now. I mean by now the Princess..."


Dash was then cut off by Twilight who looked more furious than ever:


"The Princess Is Fine! Don't You Ever Say That! You Hear Me!"

Pinkie then Joined in the conversation hoping to calm them down until they stopped in awe.

After a few minutes Twilight broke the silence:


"Canterlot. I...It's...Destroyed..." Twilight then let out a horrified gasp:


"The Princess!"


Twilight along with the others rushed to the palace to find it in good condition besides some scorch marks on the

Stone walls and a few broken windows.

Twilight then kept searching to palace for the princess but found nothing until stumbling upon a note on the

Princess's throne.

Twilight then levitated the note over to her and the others.

Pinkie pie then looked at Twilight:


"What does it say Twilight?"


Twilight turned around to the others and started reading:


"Dear my faithful student and Faithful subjects:


Because of what has happened here in Canterlot, my sister

and I have moved away to a safer and secure location until further notice. I trust you can defeat Metanite by

using the 6 elements even if his power is more greater. Please for the land of Equestria save us all and defeat

Metanite once and for all.


Signed: Princess Celestia."


Twilight looked at the others, tears again rolling down her like rain.

Dash then walked up to her hugging her. A large roar was then heard outside the Palace.

Hearing this Twilight then wiped away the tears looking furious.


"Twilight whats wrong now."


Dash was confused after looking at twilight, her eyes blood red and her breathing getting heavier with each stage of

anger that built inside of her.

Twilight then looked at the Doors:


"He destroyed where I was born... He took away all that I loved... And He had the Princess Hide! I Wont Take It!"


Twilight then rushed out the doors to the town square, the others following behind.


"Twilight!" Dash Called out.

"You won't be able to defeat him on your own!"


Dash then looked at the others still angry:


"What are you Implying then?"


AJ then walked up:


"We all defeat him. Just like what we did at the library, We stick together. Fluttershy's willing to lose her life

over this, now lets do this Twi'!"



Twilight then broke the anger and smiled one tear coming from her eye:


"I'm sorry guys about that, But your right AJ! all six of us need to..."


Metanite then looked down at the six pretending to cry and clapping at the same time:


"That was Beautiful! If Only Discord was here! Oh how he loves the theater!"


Twilight then looked up at the Monster:


"What do you want Metanite?"


Metanite then smiled:


"Oh you Ponies! Always trying their best to act tough! That's what makes me laugh! Besides that

I should probably mention you six cannot defeat me now! I've already grown to full power and there is nothing

you can do to stop me! Even with that stupid getup!"


Metanite then started to burst out into laughter pointing at the ponies.


Twilight then gave an evil smile at Metanite:


"Oh yeah! Well We'll just see about that you no good piece of trash!"


Metanite the smiled:


"Try Me!"


The six then stood together smiling at each other saying their goodbyes.

Pinkie pie went off first, then Dash, then Rarity, Fluttershy was after, Applejack started next,

Then Twilight closed her eyes and lifted into the air opening her eyes a few moments later

revealing large white lights.



"METANITE! THIS IS YOUR FINAL STAND! WE ARE NOW FULL POWERED ELEMENTS!

PREPARE TO BE DESTROYED!"


Metanite the Smiled even more:


"Oh! I Don't think destroy is in my vocabulary! So..."


Metanite then turned his head slightly to the left and shot a large beam of fire towards the ponies.

The six then shot the element right at the fire beam meeting it in the middle forcing back then front dueling

the great power. Metanite was now struggling as well as the others:


"There is no way you can defeat....me....I AM POWERFUL!"


Metanite then let out a larger beam as well as the other six again meeting until a large explosion

then formed creating a large colorful explosion knocking Metanite back:


"NO THIS CAN'T HAPPEN!"

A large rainbow then shot at the monster cutting him to pieces:


"NOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!"


Metanite then blew up again vaporizing him to nothing.


In the process the others were also knocked back bleeding and
bruised in all places from the explosion.



After a while Twilight woke up groaning, blood pouring from her mouth then coming face to face with

the Princess who was returning to Canterlot after seeing the rather large explosion miles away:



"Twilight? Are you okay?"



Twilight then looked at the princess and faintly smiled:


"D...Did..We..W..Win?"


The princess smiled patting her most faithful student on the head:


"Yes.. You all won."


The princess then levitated the barley moving body to the canterlot hospital while her friends

were also lying in beds bruised and bleeding. Pinkie then looked at Twilight Faintly smiling and slowly giggled:


"well at least we giggled at the ghostie tw..twi.. twilight....."


Pinkie then held her friends hand, closed her eyes and drifted away.

Dash then also looked at Twilight tears slowly coming from her eyes:


"Twilight?"


Twilight then turned to Dash:


"Yeah?"


Dash smiled and saluted at Twilight faintly:


"well...at least we won....thanks for...every..."


Dash then did the same as Pinkie, she smiled, closed her eyes, and died.


Twilight then called to the last 3 before slipping unconscious:


"Rarity? Fluttershy? AJ?"


Rarity and Fluttershy both answered, AJ had passed moments ago:


"yes twilight?"


"yes darling?"



Twilight then flashed a faint smile:


"I'm glad we took him out. equestria is now safe at last."


Fluttershy then looked at Twilight also faintly smiling, her eyes half shut:


"Twilight?"


"Yes?"


"Is heaven beautiful?"


Twilight then smiled and giggled:


"yes. heaven is beautiful, it's like cloudsdale except nicer."


"thanks twilight.."


"your welcome, goodnight fluttershy.."



Fluttershy then winked lied down closed her eyes and passed on:


"twilight?"


Twilight then looked at rarity who was bleeding the most after hitting the ground and smacking her head off

a rather large rock:


"yes rarity?"


"i hope when i go away my hair will get fixed."


"don't worry rarity...everything will be okay."


A tear then rolled down Twilight's eye watching her last friend die before her eyes.

After a few minutes twilight then started to fade out from the massive blood loss. Then after a few

minutes she slipped into a coma then passed away.

-Ponyville 3 weeks later-

A Funeral was held in the newly rebuilt Ponyville after the six elements had lost their lives in the fight.

During the funeral the mayor stepped up and made a short speech:

"Mares and Gentle colts. I humbly appreciate you all for coming to the funeral of the six elements. We

recently received a letter from Twilight sparkle before her sacrifice 3 weeks ago." The mayor cleared her throat and read the

short letter:


"Dear Ponyville: I should first mention I appreciate what you all have done for us. We also should apologize

about not being here sooner when Metanite had started his destructive part on the town. If you are reading this now, We

have either died or are still in hospital. I thank you for being there when I needed you. So goodbye and good luck.

Sincerely: Twilight Sparkle"


Tears had started running down every ponies eyes from Twilight's last letter and then proceeded to place roses on the six

coffins. Derpy then walked up and tears rolled down here eyes. "Thanks for always being there Dash. I hope you won't stop

your flyin'." Derpy then hung her head and softly cried.


After the funeral every pony had walked backed to their homes to mourn. It would be like so for the rest of the month.


-2 years later-


2 years had passed and the new mayor Apple Bloom had revealed the new statue dedicated to the 6 ponies:

"I thank y'all for comin' to this dedication ceremony of the 3 year anniversary of the sacrifice of the elements

of harmony. So it is my great privilege to reveal the new ponyville statue."


2 Pegasus then pulled the cloth off revealing a statue of a gold pony with a plaque on the base saying:

"THEIR FINEST HOUR: DEDICATED TO THE SIX ELEMENTS OF HARMONY WHO SACRIFICED THEIR LIVES

TO SAVE US."

Apple bloom then thanked the ponies for making this possible and from then on no evil had lurked in Equestria ever again.

-1 year later Canterlot Palace-


"Dear my second faithful student Starshine Brightglow: I thank you for taking the place of my former deceased student

Twilight Sparkle. Good luck on making friends and may I be with you always.

Signed: Princess Celestia"


This princess then tearfully got up from her bed and sent the note to Starshine who was in ponyville, trying to reach the

same goal as Twilight's, making friends. After a few minutes spike then coughed up the letter and sent it to Starshine who

was in her room reading:


"Twi..I mean..Starshine! A letter from the princess!"

Starshine then looked at the note and levitated it to herself reading it quietly. After a few minutes she rolled up the letter

and called spike over:

"Spike take a letter."

"Sure thing."

"Dear princess Celestia: I thank you for you humble letter and I will try everything in my power to reach this goal.

Your Second Faithful student: Starshine Brightglow."

Spike then rolled up the letter and sent it to Celestia. Spike then turned to Starshine but was soon interrupted by a

knock at the door. Spike then walked down to the door and opened. "Oh hey Pumpkin Ca.." Spike was soon interrupted

by the bouncing Unicorn who was much older now:

" This is your singing telegram, I hope it finds you well. You're invited to a party cause we think you're really swell!

Sparkie's turning one year old, So help us celebrate--

The cake will be delicious, The festivities first-rate!

There will be games and dancing,

Bob for apples, cut-a-rug! And when the party's over we'll gather 'round for a group hug.

No need to bring a gift, Being there will be enough...

Birthdays mean having fun with friends, Not getting lots of stuff.

It won't be the same without you, So we hope that you say "yes."

So please, oh please, RSVP

And come and be our guest!"

"Wow Pumpkin. How do you know that song?"

"Pinkie taught it to me before she died!"

"Wow. Well thanks. I'll give this to Starshine as soon as possible. See ya."

"Bye Spike!"

Pumpkin then ran off towards her other friends houses: Apple bloom, Scootaloo, Sweetie Bell, and Butterfly.

Running off towards Apple Blooms house she had run passed the statue but stopped and walked back. With a tear

in her eye she had taken a rose out of her satchel and tied a nice yellow balloon to the hoof and looked up:

"Thanks for teaching me everything Pinkie, If it wasn't for you I don't know what I'd do."

Pumpkin then looked towards her friends house and started walking instead. In her mind she knew Pinkie was there

for her always. Pumpkin then thought to herself:

"This ones for you Pinkie"

Pumpkin then started humming the parasprite polka song as she walked towards Apple blooms house in dedication

for her sister.
