Prism and Glimmer

       Twilight walked towards the entrance of the Everfree Castle.  Celestia could almost feel the anger rise from her daughter.  She frowned at the display.  She knew very well if she didn't control it, if they hit the right chords, they very well could have set about an apocalypse.  She knew her daughter was as powerful if not more than her.  This darker side amplifies her power, making her beyond Celestia herself.  Twilight stopped before the castle walls.

      "Princess Twilight Sparkle, Celestia, Luna, and Chrysalis, everyone came for the party!"  Twilight scanned the walls but couldn't find the source of the voice.  "You know, I thought I had to only get rid of two princesses.  Speaking of which, I wonder if they took care of that magician yet?"

       "If you even touch her-" Luna was cut off by Celestia appearing right next to her.  "Tia?  You are supposed to be on the otherside."

     "I don't like how Twilight's anger is rising." she replied.  Luna cocked her head.

      "How so?"

     "I'm afraid she will turn into that pony we saw back in Canterlot and I won't be able to bring her back."

     "You did before, though."  Celestia shook her head.

     "Barely."  Luna sighed.

     "So what now?"

     "We go to Chrysalis and hope this doesn't get out of hand."

     "So how are your daughters doing, Princess?  Wait, I think I killed them."  Twilight clenched her teeth and dug her hoof into the ground.

    "They aren't dead but I can't say the same for you."  Cloud Kicker laughed.

    "I'm inside an enchanted castle.  You need to be Nightmare Moon to get in here.  Face it, you lost."  Twilight's mane and tail started on fire and Celestia motioned for the others to step back on the otherside of the castle.  Twilight tripled in size until she stood tall enough to tower over Celestia.  Her coat and eyes turned pure white.

    "I will destroy you." Her voice was back to its demented state.  Celestia's eyes widened as she heard it.

    "What do we do, Tia?" asked Luna, looking at her sister.

    "We stay back.  If we get close we can end up in the cross fire, and her attacks are lethal to alicorns."  With that she reluctantly turned around and took the sky, Luna and Chrys following her.

     Twilight stepped forward, the ground beneath her hooves starting on fire.  The castle doors were ripped off of their hinges.  For Celestia, it felt like the closer she got to the castle, the more enraged she would get.  It got to the point where she was surprised that the castle wasn't in flames.  Maybe she was controlling herself.

An explosion proved her wrong.  Celestia turned to Luna who was watching next to her.

"How bad can this get?" she asked her sister.  Luna shook her head.

"I don't know.  It feeds off of hate, rage, grief, guilt, envy, and other negative emtions.  As long as they stay enough to feed off of, it will do whatever the buck it wants."  Celestia turned back to the castle with all new concerns and fears.

"Well, lets hope nothing that can get her more pissed co-"  She was cut off by a huge explosion in the center of the building.  The castle started to collapse on itself from the after affects of the explosion  From the collapsing building flew Twilight from the very center.  She flew above the collapsing building and fixed her gaze upon it.

With a chilling laugh she set the wreckage ablaze and flew off.  Luna held up a hoof and turned to Celestia who watched her daughter fly off.

"What happened in there?"  Celestia went through her thoughts before coming to a haunting conclusion.  She shook with rage and tears formed in her eyes.

"H-how could he?  She was weak and dying as it is."  Celestia shook her head while tears fell from them.  Luna looked at her with concern.

"What?"  Celestia looked at her sister with sad filled eyes.

"He broke her, Luna.  He did the only thing he could to break her.  He killed Rainbow."  Luna's eyes went wide.  She knew full well the connection those two had and the troubles they went through.  She even came close to death by a few seconds.  The thought of her being dead would have been more then enough to send Twilight over the edge.

"Shit, we need to get to the hospital.  If she gets there and it happens to be true, we might as well give up."  Celestia nodded and flew off, hoping upon her mother that it wasn't true.  Oh how even her mother can promise everything.

Celestia stared with her jaw hanging open at the wreckage through the hospital walls.  The main ER doors were thrown across the yard and objects and carts were everywhere, there was even a hospital bed sticking through the wall.  The nurse froze behind the counter as she saw them coming.

"Oh please tell me you aren't here to destroy everything in sight?"  Celestia raised an eyebrow at the nurse.

"Please, just tell me what happened?"  Please, no.  Don't tell me I was right.  The nurse shifted a bit and looked down.  Oh no.  Twilight, my daughter.

"Well, a white alicorn with a flaming mane came in and demanded the status of a patient we got recently."  The nurse shifted again.  "Miss Dash was pronounced dead shortly after arriving.  We are looking at her body now and it seems that the spell used against her was meant to kill the target by slowly draining away their life if they weren't killed instantly.  We couldn't do anything."  Celestia sat down on her haunches with her jaw open.  She punched the desk in front of her, leaving a rather large hoof shaped hole.

"Damnit!  Why do I have to be right!" she yelled, causing everyone to stop talking and stare at her.  She felt a hoof on her shoulder and found a teary eyed Scootaloo behind her.  She embraced the young mare in her hooves and stroked her mane.  "Don't worry, the ones who did this are gone now."  Scootaloo looked up at her.

"What about mum?  I know it was her."  Celestia went rigged, her hoof stopping mid-stroke.  She gulped.

"Now we hope that we survive the next week."
