The Element of Darkness

Twilight woke up to see...darkness...nothing but black empty darkness. She used her magic to make her horn glow so she could see. She could see nothing but blackness, it was  like she was nowhere. All of a sudden, a calm, yet demonic voice was heard in the darkness.

"Twilight Sparkle...I've been waiting so long for us to finally meet"

"Show yourself you coward!" Twilight yelled as she put down her horn in defence.

"With pleasure"

A buff of black smoke appeared in front of Twilight; in the smoke was the outline of two eyes and a mouth with a huge grin.

"I know that's not your true form" said Twilight.

"Oh don't worry...you'll see what I really look like soon enough" the face said with a smile.

"I know what you’re going to do...and it won't work!"

The dark Unicorn started to laugh, "I find it so funny that you think you can actually beat me. I know that Luna took my spell and used it to bring back your friends so they can wield the Elements of Harmony and defeat me. Little do they know is that not only won't that work...but I still have the impossible spell, I can use it to bring back any of my minions if they are killed"

"Don't try to act like you’re in complete control, I know the Elements can't kill you...that's my job"

"You’re a little right. I will admit, you are the only pony who can kill me...but you are very wrong when you say that I don't have complete control"

"The Elements can get you out of Celestia, making you more venerable, I can kill you then"

"And how exactly are you planning to kill me?"

"I...uh..."

"I am very truthful Twilight; I won't keep this from you. You and I both have no idea how you can kill me...but we know you can kill me"

"I'll find a way!"

The smoke dropped to the floor at Twilight's hooves and said in a mocking voice, “And what if I beg for mercy, are you nice enough just to give me a slap on the hoof for being a bad boy?"

"That is up to Princess Celestia" Twilight said, looking down at the face who was giving her puppy dog eyes.

The Smoke rose back up to look Twilight dead in the eye.

"I'm not talking about Celestia, in the end if you somehow defeat me...the choice will be up to you...so tell me Miss Sparkle...What. Would.You. Do?"

"I will banish you from Equestria and make sure you never return"

A sick smile crept across the evil face.

"So your still merciful...I grantee that you won't be after where done this test"

Suddenly a window appeared showing Rainbow Dash pick up a knife and stab Pinkie Pie again, and again, and again. Twilight looked on in complete sadness as the window showed her every death caused by Rainbow Dash. It then showed Rainbow, still alive on a table being experimented on, causing the burned blind Pegasus extreme pain.

"Twilight", Rainbow Dash said with a weak voice "please help me...where are you...please some pony help me. I’m so sorry for what I did...I...I'm so so sorry". Rainbow tried to cry but couldn't with her eyes gone.

Twilight burst into tears and in anger, shot her magic at the window to make it go away.

"She’s still alive...YOU MONSTER! LET HER GO RATE NOW!"

The dark unicorn laughed "are you kidding? Rainbow Dash is so much fun to work with; we'll be using her for a very long time"

Twilight's head moved in every direction as she looked for any way out of this nightmare.

"And that's not all", the dark unicorn said with a smile

Now the window showed Luna trying to bring Twilight's friends back

"I...I don't understand...this should work...this has to work!” Luna yelled in frustration.

All of a sudden an arrow shot across the room and nailed Luna rate the head, killing her.

"NO!” Twilight yelled

The window then showed an arrow shoot Candice, Ace Spades, and Twilight's parents in the heart, killing all of them. Twilight fell to her knees and cried as the dark unicorn laughed at her suffering. Twilight looked up to see Spike held to the ground by an evil guard. Another guard poured oil on Spike while a third guard threw a lit match at him. Twilight watched in complete shock and sadness and her best friend, someone she took care for like a son, someone who was like another brother to her...be burned alive as the dark unicorn’s laughter is heard throughout the darkness.

After five minutes of crying, Twilight got up to her hooves

"I'LL KILL YOU FOR THIS YOU HEAR ME! I'LL MAKE YOU SUFFER FOR WHAT YOU DID! WHEN I'M DONE WITH YOU, YOU'LL BEG ME TO KILL YOU!"

The dark unicorn laughed harder than ever before, this made  Twilight even more angry...something inside her snapped and she began to shot her magic in every direction, hoping to somehow kill the dark unicorn

"You need to realize Twilight, you’re never going to leave this place... Equestria will be his and you and Celestia will be mine!"

As Twilight continued to rage, something in her snapped her out of it. "I get it now", she said, "you didn't kill Spike or any other pony in the dungeon...this is all fake...the only way for me to pass the test and escape this realm is to not fill my heart with darkness and anger. My light is still burning and I will never give into the darkness"

"You don't know for sure weather what I showed you was fake or not"

"Even if it wasn't, I know my friends would not want to die in vain, I know they would be counting on me to fight through this...and stop you"

All of a sudden a burst of light shot through the window...Twilight realized that she passed the text.

Twilight appeared in the main hall of the castle, she sees the possessed Princess Celestia with a look of shock on her face. Twilight looked behind her and saw Pinkie Pie, Applejack, Fluttershy, Rarity, and Rainbow Dash smiling at her.  Twilight ran over to them and they all embraced in a big hug.

""I'm so happy to see you girls again" said Twilight.

""Where happy to see you to sugercube" said Applejack

Rainbow looked at all her friends "Guys, I'm"

"You don't need to apologies Rainbow" said Applejack

"We know none of what you did was your fault” said Fluttershy.

"you fought with that infection for a month” said Rarity, “if you had given in earlier, a lot more ponies would have been killed"

"you’re a hero Rainbow Dash!", said Pinkie Pie happily as she jumped up and down.

The six friends all hugged again. Luna, Spike,  Big Macintosh,  Ace Spades, and Twilight's parents soon enter the hall as well. Every one turns to face the sweating possessed Celestia.

“Ok girls" said Twilight "lets finish him!"

The girls stepped forward and Luna gave them all the Elements of Harmony. They all shot Celestia with their magic.

"NOOOOOOOO!” the dark unicorn screamed as he is thrown out if  Celestia’s body. The dark unicorn got thrown across the room and into a corner where black smoke appeared to cover what he looks like. Princess Celestia opened her wings and light flashes thorough out the hall.

"Thank you so much for saving me" she said.

"You can thank us later” said Twilight, "rate now we need to stop the evil unicorn once and for all!"

Celastea, Luna, and the mane six stand in front of the smoke.

It's over dark unicorn!” yelled Celestia, "come out so we can discuss your fate!"

A yellow Pegasus filly came out of the smoke.

"Please don't hurt me” she said, "or my mother, she hasn't done anything wrong!"

Twilight and the others stared at the filly with shock and confusion.

"She’s just...just a filly" said Twilight, "princess Celestia, what do we do?"

Celestia began to back up with a look of pure terror in her eyes.

"Princess Celestia?"

The filly dropped to the floor at Rainbow's hooves, "You can't hurt my mother, she went through the same thing as you!"

Rainbow looked down at the filly them looked up at Twilight.

"I...I don't understand” she said with a look of disbelief on her face, “what so we do?"

Twilight looked down at the filly, "is your mother in the smoke?"

The filly got back up, "yes, oh please don't hurt her!"

Just them, a female voice was heard in the smoke, "its OK girls...they can't hurt me"

A Pegasus pony stepped out, she had a red coat with blue eyes and a blond mane.  Twilight looked back at the princess but she was still backing up.

The unknown pony looked at Twilight and smiled a sweet smile, "Twilight Sparkle...is that you?"

"Ye...yes" she responded.

"My name is Rose Bud,  I am your sister in law"

An angry Candice stepped forward, "sister in law!"

"Relax; I was never with your husband"

Celestia gasped.

"I wish I could actually meet you Twilight...but I'm not really here...I am just an illusion. You see, me and my daughter are dead...but he is not...would you like to meet him?"

"Meet who?"

"Why Moonlight of course"

"Who is Moonlight?"

"He is your brother"
