Eclipse knew that she was meant to be alone, not only in this battle or for her whole life, until she came. In this battle, she was alone no more.

Five hundred years before Luna's banishment, King Sombra was sealed and the Crystal Empire was lost forever; but the ones that had defeated him weren't Celestia and Luna… Based on my headcanon.

If you, reader, want me to continue this story, that I made as my English class's homework, just put it in the coments.

I speak Spanish and little English so, please, go easy on me.

Alone no more.

A little One Shot I made out from my headcanon that I'll explain later. I speak spanish, so sorry for my bad english.

Alone no more.

Five hundred years before Luna's banishment...

My hooves had beaten the cold floor as I ran towards the throne room where the princesses and their parents asked for my presence. The doors where already open, so I entered the room immediately.

–Sorry I'm late, I was training at the lake... –I bowed in a signal of respect and shame to myself

–It's no problem, Eclipse –the always kind Queen Sun Blast nodded as she said that–. We have a mission to you, general of the night guard. The Crystal Empire, almost a hundred years ago dominated by a corrupt unicorn, is beginning to fade in the darkness –

–Even if we unite our powers, he will defeat us, and that will mean the fall of Equestria in the darkness, also –the cold voice of King Silver Moon, as a contrast to what happened the first time I talked to him, didn't make me shake, or even feel scared, it made me feel... proud, somehow–. But you, you have a magic more pure that the one of the Elements of Harmony, you where special since the day of you creation; we knew it, and now is your time to prove it –he gives me a breastplate, which had the Element of Magic in it.

–I will... control the most powerful Element? –I asked astonished, almost in shock.

–Yes, that’s what a pony which such a magical control like you deserve –Princess Luna said with a smile on her lips–. I will, also, change your rank in the Royal Night Guard: now, you are my right-hand guard.

Celestia shoved me with one hoof; I knew she always hated me, but I don't know why.

–Don't think the Element will solve everything, because it only will buff up the magic of his rightful owner, which is me, if you didn't know –her hoof smashed my new breastplate and then my neck. My magic grabbed her hoof and pulled it to the floor, where it belongs.

–You are not going alone: the captain of the diurnal guard will go with you, just in case that you need help –the Queen smiled to me, a smile that give me the hope I needed to fight that tyrant and get back the Empire.

–She will get to the Empire a hour or two later than you, so be prepared, if needed, to fight alone –Princess Luna warned me, I smiled at her and bowed my head in silence.

–Thanks for the advice, rulers of this kingdom. I will not fail, not you, nor the Crystal Ponies, nor Equestria or the Empire –they gave me a train ticket.

–Go to the train station, your train is already waiting for you. –they smiled again as I left.

Celestia sighted and, then, looked at her parents.

–She will fail, I know it –she said, looking in the three pair of eyes–. And with her fall, the Element of Magic will be destroyed, or even, corrupted. –

–Don't say a single thing about this, Celestia –Luna shoved her hoof into her sister's breastplate–. Maybe she was created by our mistake, but we must admit that she is more powerful than our four together. –

–She will destroy the King, Celestia. Can't you believe in her one single time? –Queen Sun Blast looked angry at her oldest daughter–. And you are grounded: you can't just shove up one of your most faithful subjects out of nothing, or only because she is the result of your mistake.

Celestia looked at the floor, more than angry, but it disappeared as the captain of the Royal Diurnal Guard walked in; a smile appeared on her lips...

I walked into the Empire, my black and dark purple mane flowing in the wind of this night and my big, white eyes glowed in the darkness. Two red eyes looked at me from the distance: the tyrant king...

He throw a red energy blast from his horn, lucky he missed. My horn brightened by my white energy, more pure than Celestia's one. A large white flamethrower hit his side, doing little damage.

–Who are you? –he asked me, looking into my eyes.

–My name's Eclipse, the first hybrid ever created –he noticed the cat-like pupils in my eyes and the strong claws an the end of my hooves–. I was sent to destroy you, monster.

–Ja! You could never destroy me, you stupid pony-cat creature –he let a strong laugh that echoed in the darkness–. You were sent as a sacrifice, don't you see? You don't have an armor or even a sword.

I looked the floor, tears filling my eyes. He was saying the truth, maybe... the princesses only wanted to get rid of me...

–I'm facing King Sombra, all alone... –I closed my eyes– Loneliness, the only thing that was by my side since the beginning. I am meant to be alone, before, now and forever...

A tear fell from my eyes, and like a death star it hit the floor. The buzz of fine and delicate wings made my eyes suddenly open, the high, slim mare with dark coat and green eyes and mane with I share mission, finally came to help me.

–Eclipse, open your eyes and lift your head! We must stand tall and strong to kill this monster one last time.

I looked at her and then, my enemy– I mean, OUR enemy...

–You will help me through this, Chrysalis? –I asked putting every energy I had on a single but powerful spell.

–I will not help you: I will face this with you, my friend. –she answered as her horn lighted up with her green energy.

–With me? –I was... astonished, as a simple way to say it.

–Yes, we will win this battle...

We charge into the King, our horns acting like the swords we never had.

–...Together. –

Corruption in ice, Harmony in ashes.

Thanks for the comments and the likes, also for the favorites. I decided that I will continue this story, even if it breaks one rule of my English class's homework (it was supposed to be a One Shot).

Corruption in ice, Harmony in ashes.

Chrysalis was the first one to attack, sending a green energy blast from her horn, which had been destroyed by a red one. Another flamethrower smashed his side, sending him some meters onto his back. I ran toward him to attack with my claws, but he hit my stomach and, then, my face.

I fell to the cold floor, almost feeling how the breastplate moved from its place. I get up, only to receive another kick on my face and a energy blast on my back. My eyes opened slowly, swallowing my pain, only to see the King throwing another energy blast, this time, to my face.

When I almost felt it hit my body, the Element of Magic shined and a very powerful white energy blast absorbed his and hit him in the chest. I get up helped by Chrysalis, I must say that I noticed her bruises; she received some attacks from the corrupt unicorn.

–You have the Element of Magic, for what I can see... –the King rose from the floor and made his horn glow–. But what is more powerful: White Magic or... –his red glow became purple and green–...Dark Magic? –

A really fast projectile of purple magic hit us, sending us to the marble walls of the palace. I was the first to get up, so I used a curative spell on our wounds.

–Not even the Element of Magic can defeat my Dark Magic –Sombra said as he walked toward us–. So... what about a give up? You two can't win this battle.

I prepared a energy blast when Chrysalis get up. I aimed him and prepare to send it as fast as I could, but I felt like something was absorbing my magic...

–We can't win, Eclipse. We must give up if we want to keep our lives... –Chrysalis said as her green energy absorbed mine's–. We failed our mission, we failed Equestria and the Empire, we failed everybody we know... –

–Are you serious, Chrysalis? We just started this battle and you already quit it! –I shouted to the top of my lungs–. You promised me something I will never forget, something I don’t want YOU to forget... –a tear fell from my eye–. You promised to be by my side until the bitter end... –

A gasp of surprise escaped my lips when something pointy, curved, and really sharp performed my chest. My blood stained my light grey coat as I fell to the floor, feeling my left lung filling with my own red, burning liquid.

Chrysalis snapped back to reality when I screamed in agony as the owner of the horn keep mutilating my back, perforating over and over and over again my lungs and, maybe, other organs.

–Get away from her! –she send a green flamethrower towards the King when my body, almost lifeless, fell to the floor. Sombra was sent back some meters, maybe forty or fifthly, I don't really know. My vision, now black and white, was really blurry–. No... Please, Eclipse! Stay with me! –

My hearing began to fade as I felt how my life slipped away from my body. My last words where so low that I wonder if Chrysalis heard them:

–I will always stay by your side, Chrysalis. Thanks for everything... –

(Chrysalis's P.O.V)

No... This can't be happening. Eclipse, my only friend, my shining sun in my life of darkness, is death... And because of me. If I hadn't succumbed to my fear and anger she will still be by my side.

Tears fell from my eyes as I took what will  be hers forever, even in death: the breastplate with the Element of Magic. I put it on my chest and used the offensive spell me made... together...

The three beams of different elements hit the King right where she wounded him, the already bleeding wound was now much worse. I stare at him as he gets up once again, only to get a powerful punch right on the face.

–Why? Why did you take her away from me? –I questioned while my hooves keep on hitting him–. Just tell me why, you monster! –

–Because she was an enemy... the most powerful I had ever seen... –he grabbed my hoof–. And the true bearer of the Element of Magic. –

The Element shined brightly, blinding him for several minutes. I knew what I had to do, something Eclipse deserved to do, or expect, at least. I carried her body on my back and, then, I flied to the sky, the shining light more powerful as I keep going up.

My horn shined again, but this time not with my typical green energy, surrounded with a rainbow-colored energy. The Elements of Harmony responded to the call of the most powerful one...

A fast, rainbow-colors beam smashed the King, shining really bright as time goes on. I felt the magic of the Element growing, slowly dominating the Empire. A beam separated from the first one and made a big crack, where I could hear Sombra falling into the darkness of the crystal abyss.

The light faded, my eyes opened. The crack, the Empire, everything was gone, everything except the Element and my dear Eclipse.

Some hours later...

I watched the body in the hospital's bed, wondering how the magic of the Element binged her back in a pitiful state, almost in coma.

–Doctor, she will be okay... right? –I asked, fighting the tears that wanted to fall.

–I can't assure you nothing, Captain Chrysalis –a stallion of slim figure, with dark blue coat, black ayes and short, white mane: Doctor Afterlife–, but we will do our best to keep Captain Eclipse alive. –

He exited the hospital's room and we where alone again. Loneliness... the only thing that will be by my side if she dies...

–Please, don't die again Eclipse –despite my efforts a tear fell from my eyes right on her chest–, don't make me suffer again... –
