"What was that husband of ours thinking?" A woman's voice muttered to herself frustrated, "She shouldn't have to be dragged into all this."

"Princess are you sure you should have brought that...thing here?" Another voice asked, "We all saw what she became when she fought those Memoria!"

"We suggest you hold your tongue in silence, Twilight Sparkle!" the princess scolded, "You should know fine well what happens when magic is overwhelmed by raw emotions!"

"Well as much as I hate to say it Luna, but ever since you brought her here Rainbow Dash has been in nothing but pain!" Twilight argued back, "She's in the same kind of pain from whatever that Sentiment did to her."

"M-mommy?"

"Sun-shine?" I said groggily, "T-thank god your alright." I gave a tired smile to my daughter, relieved she was okay.

"I can't believe you're still alive after that." Said a lavander pony I didn't quite recognise, "Letting your magic overwhelm you like that..." She threw me a scolding look, "That was completely reckless of you! Didn't they teach you anything in magic school!"

"Well humans don't usually have access to magic." Another much taller pony corrected her, she was like myself a hybrid of human and pony though I did note the addition of wings.

"I didn't think I'd meet some like myself so soon." I said aloud.

"Trust us Marcia we doubt we will be the last." The larger mare replied, "Our name is Luna, Princess of the Night although you may know us as Dr Serena Narcissa."

"I...see." Was all I could come out with.

"You really scared us back there." Luna stated, "If I were you I would advise against giving into whatever that was again. It's not very often magic gets to go berserk like that...power like that changes you in the worst possible ways."

"...so you saw that..." I asked solemnly.

"Everypony here saw what you became!" Twilight has decided to speak, "You became an utter monster!" I stared the lavender alicorn down, "Because of your rampaging magic one of my cloest friends has been in nothing but pain!"

"Yeah well sometimes it takes a monster to destroy one!" I argued back, "Did you really think I would let those things kill my daughter!"

"That's enough both of you!" Luna commanded, "Twilight we suggest you leave at once!"

"Fine..." Twilight had said through gritted teeth, as she left.

"You have to forgive her..." Luna commented, "When it comes to her friends, she's very protective..."

"I can't really blame her." I answered, "I would probably be the same way if anything happened to mine."

"Well we must say loyalty has been rare sight amongst the few humans I've had to interact with." Luna explained, "A lot of ponies here have a very dim view of humanity at the present and we can't fault them my time with my husband has been a less than fine example of humanity."

"So why are you here...?" I asked, "and where are we exactly?"

"This is Lane of Memory, a world in-between yours and mine." Luna explained, "From Twilight and Cadance have told us, our world has been completely destroyed so my sister send the survivors to yours."

"Those monsters?" I asked, Luna just nodded.

"We admit this isn't our first time to this world, we've been living her for nearly 33 years." Luna explained, "We didn't think Twilight would react so badly to humans after her previous encounters with your kind...I guess a lot has changed since I was with Cillen."

"You know him?" I asked.

"He's my husband..." Luna said with a tear, "Though he doesn't know about this form I'm in."

"There's something very wrong about him..." I said aloud.

"That's because he's the hooded man who changed your memory." Luna said flatly, "My sister sent him to find me and to put an end to the Memoria."

"Why did he do this to me?" I asked.

"To blind the Memoria for one, they can't track you if you change or wipe your memories." Luna explained, "We think that is enough questions about that for now, as we must talk to you about your situation."

"What my current form?" I asked.

"More importantly your magic, we're sure you've guess by now that your magic is tied to your emotions." Luna explained, "And the more negative the emotions are the more out of control they become, and we're sorry to say that darkness has already branded you."

"What do you mean?" I replied.

"Your eyes were never gold before were they?" Luna asked simply, I shook my head no. "Do you know where those dark emotions came from?"

"...I was scared of losing my daughter..." I answered quietly, "I didn't want to lose one of the few people I cherish more than anything. It's that feeling of hopelessness and loneliness that overwhelmed me...then there was a familiar sense of betrayal."

"A sense of betrayal?" Luna inquired.

"A long time ago my real father abandoned me and my mother for another woman." I explained, "I don't think I've ever felt so betrayed."

"Marcia...We want to focus your magic for me and form it into something that comes from the heart, but your whole being into it." Luna asked, "We know you're still recovering but please humor us."

I stood up with Luna's help and My daughter just watched on. I reached my hand out and focused, "Put my entire being into it huh?" I thought to myself, I thought about everything that I had been through in my entire life, all the friends I had made, My mom and dad, my little brother and sister, Shane and my daughter and how I cherished every one of them.

Luna watched on a something began to take form from my focus. Luna could feel my emotions and thoughts behind my magic, the utter loyalty I had to my family and friends.

Back in the corners of my mind I felt something call out to me, something that I was missing, something I was lacking, something that was urging me to reclaim it.

In another part of the Lane of Memory...

"AAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHH!!!! MAKE IT STOP!!!" A rainbow haired Pegasus cried out.

"Dashie please tell me what's wrong!" Twilight cried out, Rainbow couldn't answer from the sheer volume of pain.

"Her Cutie Mark!!" A pink pony pointed out, "It's glowing!!"

With Celestia and Cillen...

"RRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!! God damn it my arm!!!" Cillen roared in pain, "What's happening to my arm?!!!"

Cillen's mechanical arm soon tore itself from his body and reformed into a spear, then into a pendant Celestia recognized right away then back again.

"That's the element of Loyalty!" Celestia stated in astonishment.

"NNNNNGGGGGHHHHHHHH!!!" Cillen gritted out, "W-what? Why is the Betrayal doing this now?!"

"Something is calling out to it." Celestia answered, "I think it's found it's bearer."

Back with Marcia, Sunshine and Luna...

"I need this power." I said through gritted teeth, the mutterings in the back of my mind urging me to reclaim it. "C'mon damn it!"

"Are you willing to embrace your darkness, for the sake of everything you care for?"

"YES FOR THE LOVE OF GOD YES!!!" I screamed.

"Then awaken your true potential!"

Back with Cillen and Celestia...

The Betrayal split into the spear and the Element of Loyalty and both disappeared in a flash of light.

"What just happened?" Cillen panted out.

"Hope." Celestia had stated.

With Twilight and the others...

"Look..." Pinkie Pie pointed up in the sky.

"N-no way...that's the Element of Loyalty!" Twilight called out as if flew back into her friend, "Then what's that darkness in the sky..."

Back with Marcia, Sunshine and Luna...

"No...this can't be..." Luna cried out, she and Sunshine were barely managing to be blown away from the utter force coming from Marcia.

The darkness in the sky shattered and reformed into azure and black shards. I reached my hand out to grab it, as if something inside was possessing me, some raw primal instinct...

"M-mommy?" Sunshine whispered.

Upon hearing those words I remembered what had happened, what I could have lost...then something inside me snapped.

"ETERNAL RELEASE RESTRAINT!!!" All that was seen next was a flash of azure light.

When the light faded away, Luna and Sunshine were left speechless and upon realization I was just as speechless. I looked down and noticed my clothes had changed, I looked at my reflection in a nearby mirror.

I was clothed in a hooded white sleeveless cloak that ended with a transition from white to blue at the bottom, underneath that was black corset like vest with trims of silver and a blue skirt with black leggings, I was wearing white thigh high boots with a blue trimming on my feet, and my hands and arms were covered in matching arm length gloves.

Both my eyes were gold and I was wearing make up, I couldn't help but notice that I was wearing a leather choker with a smaller version of my Cutie mark hanging off it. I couldn't help but notice my mane and tail had a single blue highlight, not to mention that gold tiara I was wearing.

"..." I didn't know exactly what to say at my current form, but I did notice a silver rapier in my hand.

"...D-did I..." I hesitated for a moment in disbelief, "Did I just turn into a magical girl?!"

For a moment Luna could have sworn she heard a certain time guardian laughing her ass off...
