Twilight and her friends rushed through the palace door into the throne room. "Your Highness! Shadow and his friends need your help, a Changling attack has begun on The Land of Dragons." Twilight shouted. "I know of this, I'm assigning you and a small army to The Land of Dragons to aid them. Be careful, The Changlings no longer have mercy." Celestia said. "I wish to fight too sister!" Princess Luna demanded. Princess Celestia first hesitated, but saw her sister's determination. "Very well. Go and aid Shadow Knight. We all know he needs it. Shadow Knight had just arrived to the scene, slaying Changling one after another. "Moonblade! What is the situation?" Shadow called out. "Shadow Knight! We are being attacked from the north, but an army lead by General Sentex." Moonblade replied. "We'll aid you the best we can." Shadow said before returning to his small team. "Angel wing your with me. Sinco and Bula you aid the troops. I have a plan to wipe half of the army." Shadow commanded. "Understood." They yelled, then split up with mission in mind.
"What's our plan?" Angel Wing asked. "Their is a stash of experiment explosives that I have been working on. I'm confident that they are ready for battle." Shadow said. "He grabbed his saddle bag and went to the catapults. "Soldiers! Attach this to your rocks and light the fuse. Fire them into the army of Changlings." Shadow instructed.

The Soldiers did as they we're told and fired the explosives at The Changlings. Each explosive took a quarter of the enemy army. "Ha ha yes, now we can help the ground forces." Shadow said before running off. Sinco and Bula meanwhile were fighting The Changlings. Then were joined by Shadow and other fighters. "Nice work with the catapults!" Sinco said. "Fights not over yet!" Shadow said while slashing through five Changlings. Moonblade saw General Sentex a big Changling with a scar over his left eye and a sword for a hoof. She rushed him, she fought with all her might. Except Sentex was stronger, they went head to head til they were close to Shadow. Then the inevitable happened, before Shadow's eyes. Moonblade was decapitated by Sentex. "NO!" Shadow screamed. Every pony, even The Changling stopped and looked at Shadow. His body was beginning to be covered in black mist, his eyes glowed white, and a deep roar bursted out of Shadow's throat. Shadow was changing into a horrible beast beyond any pony could imaged. Twilight and Luna's army just arrived to see the horror. Shadow roared a loud and with a blink of an eye killed General Sentex, then finished the rest of the army. They howled and cried in pain as the beast, devoured them whole and killed the rest. Shadow was in full rage mode, he didn't care about honor any more. All he cared about was revenge and blood. "By the Moon!" Princess Luna said looking on in horror. The beast that was unlocked and Shadow had been released.

With the Changlings all dead. The beast walked toward Moonblade's body, a tear left it's eye and dropped onto the body. Sinco, Angel Wing, and Bula; made The Mane six and Princess Luna stayed back. The beast shook in rage then howled a long mournful howl that brought tears to every ponies eyes. The beast vanished and left behind a trail of black flames. "We have to stop him!" Twilight said. "Yes, but not in this state. He is too angry and filled with hate. We need to head him off at The Kingdom of Changling and convince him to stop." Princess Luna said. "I'll be in charge til, you get back." Sinco said. Luna then used them same portal spell to transport The Mane Six and herself. Sinco and the others plan on restoring The city. The beast made it to The Changling Kingdom before The Mane Six and Luna. He preyed on Changlings and hunted them down destroying everything in his way. The Changling were now living in fear. They didn't know what to do, so they ran toward their be loved Queen. "Your highness! The beast is coming!" A Changling shouted. "Get every pony inside now! Barricade us in. " Queen Chrysalis commanded. The Changling put the castle under extreme defense protocol. "What is that thing?!" Queen Chrysalis asked one of her guards. "We don't know. It just showed up, four hours after you sent our army to The Land of Dragons." The guard said. "Your highness! We have just received word from a dying Soldier saying that is the Equestrian's called Shadow Knight!" Another guard said.

The Mane Six and Luna arrived late to stop Shadow from reaching the castle. "We have to hurry! He is going insane!" Twilight said. The Mane Six and Luna ran toward the collapsing castle. Seeing more of Shadow's path of rage and blood shade. They feared they might me too late, but they pressed on hoping to get there in time. They were stopped by some Changling Soldiers, who were looking for a fight. They went to work on slaying the pests, but more and more came for them. Now they were being delayed, by the Queen's Foolish actions. Then suddenly the front door of the castle collapsed. Queen Chrysalis, caught a glanced at the monster she created. She shook with pure fear, "Don't let that thing get near us!" She yelled. The Changling guards tried with all their might to stop the beast, but got eaten or was slain . The beast drew closer, it's mouth covered in green blood. The Changlings tried protecting their Queen, before being swapped off the castle balcony. Queen Chrysalis ran into her throne room. The beast followed and roared in anger. It stopped to let Shadow have control, "You! You did this to me! You sent Sentex to attack The City of the Moon and kill the only pony I loved!" Shadow said with a booming voice. The Changling Queen coward in fear. "What is the matter dear, why do you shake with fear? I only had the best of the insane!" Shadow yelled before Changing back into the beast with an evil laugh. "No! Please! Stop! NO!" The Changling Queen shouted. "SHADOW!" A voiced called out. It was Princess Luna and The Mane Six. "Stay away! THIS WHORE IS MINE!" Shadow shouted throw a monstrous tone. "You need to stand down Shadow! Your better than this! Killing Chrysalis isn't going to bring Moonblade back!" Twilight said. "You know, Nothing of what I feel!" Shadow shouted. "No! But we know what we feel. We feel, like we shouldn't see our Shadow acted like this. Moonblade gave her life to protect her city! So honor her by putting her to rest. Don't seek out revenge and not become a monster like her." Luna said while pointing to Queen Chrysalis.

The Queen still shook in fear, Shadow looked at himself with a piece of broken glass. He saw the monstrous rage that consumed him and turned him into this beast. He finally claimed down and returned to normal, he held back his tears. Then walked toward The Mane Six and Princess Luna. "Mawahahahaha! You foalish knight! I'll breed another army and we will avenge our fallen brother and sister by..." Queen Chrysalis was interrupted by a blow to the face. She looked to find Princess Luna standing before her. "You have no place to speak you ugly bitch!" Princess Luna said before slicing Queen Chrysalis' throat. The Changlings are now all dead and their is Queen no more. Luna and The Mane Six comforted Shadow. They began the long journey back to The Land of Dragons. With heads held low and Shadow trying so hard to stay in control. They finally made it back, with preparations set with Madam Moonblade's burial. They had a lovely ceremony and then buried her next to her parents. Shadow stood at her grave, placing a rose on top of it. "I'm sorry...I'm so sorry my love...I couldn't save you...why us, out of all the ponies in world. Why the ones who love most, but don't you worry. I'll keep...I'll keep fighting to free you, your ponies, and the world to stop this madness.".....To be continued.
