"Mother this is irrational!" Celestria said to High Queen Jen.

"Yes, shouldn't rule be passed down to Celestria as she is the eldest?" Luna agreed.

"Well this is how I'm going to determine if our family is still fit to rule or if we should just let someone else take a turn." Jen said to her child.

"That's the irrational part!" Celestria said.

"This is how Jen wants to do it. So that's how we'll do it." High King Nova stated. "Now tell Cadence, Twilight, and Sonicstrike's widow Rarity that then are to partake in this event." he added as he and Jen left the room.

"This is very odd..." Luna said as they closed the door.

"Yes indeed. A magic tournament to decide who will rule? Unheard of." Celestria added. "Get your son One-Wing, Luna. I'll call Starseeker. I have a feeling that something may be up."

"So, the Queen will be having the Element of Magic and the Element of Generosity here? Good, good. Maybe I can capture them both and make up for the dent in the plan Sonicstrike's death made." One-Wing said as Luna left his room.

"Mother" are you proud of me? Once I've taken care of them, I will come find you." he added. One-Wing then looked at the mountains in the distance.

"Then we can find the Ultimate Destruction Magic you hid 100,000 years ago." One-Wing laughed.

Twilight and Rarity looked around the area as Celestria and Luna eased them in.

"So, we're going to find out who the new queen will be? But shouldn't you...?" Twilight asked.

"Yes, but I guess my mother is looking for some excitement." Celestria answered. "Is Starseeker here like I asked?" she added.

"Oh, he's already looking for unusual behavior." Rarity said as she looked at Star though the window. He was looking down many guests as he passed them.

"Oh my..." Celestria sighed. "It looks like it's about to begin." Luna said as the Queen and King entered the room. Cadence took her place with Twilight and the other participants.

"Twilight, it seems you've already made an enemy in this event." she said pointing towards someone else who'd just arrived in a huge crowd of unicorns hoping to clam the rule of the kingdom as their own.

"Who is– oh Celestria." Twilight sighed.

"Yes?" the princess said instinctively to the sound of her name.

"It's Trixie again..." Twilight said face-hoofing.

"Well, well Twilight. It seems that you becoming a princess will be all of not, because I will take over!" Trixie laughed. Just then Starseeker looked her down.

"I'm participating!" she yelled.

"I've got my eye on you..." Star replied to Trixie and left making a gesture with his hoof to show he was watching her.

"Whatever..." Trixie sighed.

"Well now that everyone is here, lets start this thing shall we?" Queen Jen announced. "The first round all of you will be required to use elemental magic. Such as water, fire, air, and dirt."

" #$%ing magnets, how do they work!?" Star yelled across the room.

"Yes...well. Let the first round begin!" King Nova yelled and rung a gong.

Many fights went on, Cadence won by default because Rarity refused to fight, Celestria and Luna effortlessly pushed over their opponent, but now it was time for the fight that was anticipated all day, Trixie and Twilight.

"So it's time to get my revenge!" Trixie yelled but a voice in her head stopped her.

"Remember, do NOT jeopardize the mission." it said.

"Right, Mr. One-Wing, I'm to lose on purpose to lure her into a sense of security." Trixie replied. "Ice!"

Twilight blocked the spell with a reflect and then used Fire to trap Trixie in a vortex of flames then dosed it with water, knocking Trixie to the ground.

"D-darn..I never knew losing on purpose hurt this much!" she yelled.

"Now to end it." Twilight said. "Bolt!" Trixie was flung out of bounds by a bolt of lightning.

"The winner is Princess Twilight. By Ring Out." Jen announced.

"Now we will see you all tomorrow for Round 2, good day!" Nova said as he and his wife left. Just then a voice rung in Twilight's ear.

"Twilight Sparkle, I would be honored if you'd join me in the throne room." it said.

"W-who are you?" she asked.

"All questions will be answered when you arrive." the voice replied.

"Ok then." Twi said as she made her way to the meeting place.

"Hello Twilight, I am One-Wing, son of Princess Luna." the owner of the voice said as Twilight walked into the throne room. Twilight stared up at the alicorn who was speaking to her. His silver mane reflected the moonlight and his black coat blended in with the shadows around him otherwise. Then she noticed that his name was quite literal as she saw his one wing.

"You- you have..." Twilight stammered.

"One Wing? It is a gift from "Mother"." the alicorn replied.

"Luna has both her wings though." Twilight said. "Did she cut one of yours off?"

"No, not my mother. "Mother"." One-Wing corrected. "Do not worry yourself about who "Mother" is though. I've been watching you for awhile and I wondered what you would say to becoming mine."

"Yours?" Twilight asked.

"You know, my princess." One-Wing answered.

"Ummm...I-I don't know...I..." Twilight stammered. Just then Starseeker walked into the room with a letter in his mouth.

"Hey is this for you?" He asked One-Wing. "It says One-Wing and well...you have One-Wing." he asked.

"Yes, that would be me..." One-Wing said as he begrudgingly took the letter. "And who might you be, Cloud Strife?"

"No. Name's Starseeker." Star replied. "So I guess you like Final Fantasy VII as well, that's some convincing Sephiroth cosplay."

"Yes, but actually I was born like this." One-Wing answered. "Well, Twilight I must be going now. Lets meet up another time. Then you can give me your answer."

"O-Ok..." Twilight said as One-Wing left the room.

"He's very mysterious." Star said as soon as One-Wing was gone.

"What is this I'm feeling? I-Is this what Dash felt about Starseeker? Could I love him even though I just met him?" Twilight thought.

"SAKAMOTO, I thought I told you to tell me your updates though telepathy!" One-Wing shouted at a pony sitting at a computer.

"Sorry boss, but I'm not used to it yet. I'm the Hacking Mare! I'm a hacker not a magical alicorn! Therefore I'm much more comfortable sending letters." Sakamoto answered.

"Well, you could have blown our cover, the pony who picked up your letter was one of Celestria's guards!" One-Wing said.

"Sorry sir..." Sakamoto replied but One-Wing was staring out the window.

"How am I going to find you "Mother"? And how will we get my mom to join our Reunion?" One-Wing thought. "Hmm, Generosity left for back home. But I'm sure I can get Magic, and maybe pass down your legacy in the process, "Mother". I promise."
