The Forgotten Bridge

   The team was ready to arrive at their first destination- the bridge itself.

The hill morphed. It grew rockslides, spikes and knives. Flamethrowers, moving ground and swords.

   Twilight watched in horror as her friends changed shape and form. Their eyes turned red, their mane spiked and dark grey, their bodies black. The walked over to their master and smiled devilish smiles. Her friends looked at her in fear, not wanting her to get hurt.

   As her friends continued to look at her in fear, Lunar’s minion’s charged at Twilight…

   Just before the other ponies could touch her, Twilight teleported both she and Midnight back to the field. She would have teleported her friends too, but the cage they were in was magic proof. When they arrived at the field, Twilight had tears forming in her eyes. She left Midnight where he was and began walking. Twilight just walked back to where she woke up the very first time, lay down, closed her eyes, and began to cry.

   Twilight woke up. Midnight was right next to her, whipping away her tears, trying to comfort her the best he could. The field, however, looked different. It was multiple colors with warrior spears sticking out of the ground from place to place. The trees were pink and the sky was a deeper blue. It was now a world of fantasy. Twilight wanted to cry forever, but it didn't seem right. Twilight wanted to just go home and forget about everything. Twilight looked up at the sky. The sun was a deep red color with orange highlights. That's when Twilight got angry.

   Nopony messes with her mentor’s sun. After a few short seconds, Twilight's anger was replaced with sadness again. She wanted to see the princess again. She- the spell! She could use the spell she used to bring her friends, bringing the princess wouldn't be much harder. Twilight stood up and began to perform the spell. Midnight stood back, giving Twilight time to concentrate. She lifted her element in front of her and poured magic into it. The one with the most magical power would be transported to the spot where the element stood. After all, it was the Element of Magic. With a pop, the spot where the tiara stood lit up with a bright light. Then, once the light dissapated, Twilight's gaze meet Princess Celestia's warm, motherly smile. Twilight broke into tears and ran up to her. They shared a hug and tears. "Hello, my faithful student." Celestia said, softly.

"Princess, I'm sorry for bringing you here, but as you may have noticed, Equestria is under attack. The master of fantasy and terror Lunar Nightmare is letting the fantasy world take over." Twilight said.

   "Twilight, you know I can't fight in wars. It would be too risky for the rest of Equestria." Celestia told her.

   "I know, I know, I just don't want to live in fantasy." Twilight said, tears forming in her eyes. As they spoke, the fantasy world took more effect. Pigs with wings flew in the skies, purple grass grew rapidly. It was a living nightmare and only Lunar would be enjoying it. It was time to show him not to mess with Equestria. It was time to go back to the Forgotten Bridge.

   Twilight showed the way up the hill, leading Celestia down the path, to the bridge. At the temple on the other side, they could here laughter. Lunar was talking to her friends, telling them the plans for a new Equestria. Her blood turned cold when he said the last few words. Equestria: A World of Fantasy and Terror. Fantasy was almost finished taking over. They silently stepped in. "What was that about Equestria?" Celestia asked. Lunar froze and turned slowly.

   "P-Princess C-Celestia? B-but -" Lunar stuttered. He looked like a colt getting caught with his hoof in the cookie jar.

   "I do believe you are the cause of ruining my subjects' home. Correct me if I'm wrong, but according to Twilight here, it seems so." Celestia said. Was it getting...hot? The room began to rise in temperature. Celestia then cooled down, not wanting to get any angrier.

   "W-well you see, I-" he started and finished, "You win." He looked at the ground and sighed.

   “I guess no world of fantasy then.” Lunar said, hiding a smile. As he walked by Twilight, a dagger that was hidden in his mane quickly found itself in Twilight's shoulder. Soon, Twilight was on the ground, blood running down her foreleg, and she was wincing in pain.

   Lunar burst out laughing maniacally. "Consider this a gift! The world is to start anew!" He said. He lit his horn and teleported himself and his minions out. Celestia opened the cage in which her friends were in, and then walked over to the lavender unicorn on the floor.

"Twi? Are you ok, Sugarcube?" Applejack said first. Twilight gave no answer. Applejack kindly offered her hat to be used to stop the bleeding. Princess Celestia levitated Twilight on her back and spoke to Midnight.

   "You know this area well. Are there any other ponies here?" Celestia asked.

   "There is a village about twenty miles south of my house." He offered.

   "That will have to do. Hang in there Twilight." Celestia let the stallion leas the way and they started a new journey to get Twilight help. Celestia didn't want to lose her student to a knife. She was going to get her help.

   Lunar Nightmare sat inside of some kind of a structure. He was laughing maniacally, his head towards the ground. "Soon the world will be the perfect fantasy." He laughed.

   "So close to her. With her magic, my new world would be ten times more magical. It will happen soon, though. Yes, soon it will. Mark my words Equestria. Soon this will be the perfect world of Fantasy and terror. You will all be living a fantasy. You will be my servants. Soon, Twilight Sparkle, soon. I will get you. You will be mine. You and the new Elements of Chaos will be mine."
