Chapter 1: Trapped

(On Top of The Crystal palace)

“The Heart... Where's the Crystal–” Said Twilight encased in a dark crystal chamber

“Here! It rolled over to me when you dropped it!" Said Spike with his claws tucked away.

“Don't move!” said Twilight warning him not to get close

“You can move, just not toward me!” Said Twilight to fix her error in what she had just said before ‘How could I have been so foolish? I was just so eager to get it!’ she thought out loud. ‘Then when I saw what was going on outside, I-" as Twilight was speaking she noticed a flash behind her When she turned around, she saw King Sombra behind her.

"My Queen" he said as he moved closer to her.

Twilight looked around to find a way out of her crystal chamber but to no avail she was stuck there and just sighed and said “Spike take the crystal heart and go to Cadence. I can handle myself.” Said Twilight as King Sombra moved closer to her

“But–” said Spike trying to protest

“ Spike, go!” yelled Twilight while charging her horn as Sombra moved even closer

After Twilight yelled at him, Spike started to jump down the dark crystal that had formed up the castle yelling to let the others know of what is happening.“My Queen what’s wrong it looks like you saw a ghost” said Sombra moving closer to Twilight.

"Stay back, all I see is a tyrant trying to steal back his kingdom." Yelled Twilight

"My... No Twilight what happened to you, where are your wings?" Asked Sombra

“WHAT I never had wings and the only thing that has happened to me is that I am being held by a tyrant." Said Twilight

As Sombra looked into the eyes of the pony he loved and they had no look of love for him, just a new pony. He moved closer to kiss her and see if that will bring his beloved back to him but only to be stopped by a bright flash and pink fur blocking his path.

"You will not touch her." Hissed Cadence

“And who are you to stop me?” Sombra hissed back

“I am Princess Cadence of the Crystal Empire and your daughter.” Cadence stated bluntly

Sombra just sat there staring at Cadence with shrunk pupils and the purple mist in his eyes slowly dissipated. After a couple of minutes staring at her he said "Cady-" but he was only stopped by Cadence closing his mouth with her magic

"You have no right to call me that any more. I saw what you did to the crystal ponies when I escaped the empire all those years ago." Said Cadence

“But Cady-” only to be stopped by Cadence again.

“I said you had no right to call me that any more you kept the truth from me and mom but no more lying. I now know what you are now." Said Cadence

"Then what am I dear daughter." Asked Sombra

"You are an evil corrupted king that don't deserve to rule this kingdom." Said Cadence forcefully

"Oh is that right. My question for you is how are you going to stop me from just taking it back?" Asked Sombra

"Like this." As soon as she said that she jump for sombra and put a magic suppression ring on his horn then a light pink bubble appeared around him. "Now that you can't escape-"

"Wait what is this thing you put on my horn and why can't I use my magic." Yelled sombra trying to get the ring off.

"It is a magic suppression ring, it will suppresses your magic where you can't use it without removing it or me to lessen the amount of magic that is suppressed." Said Cadence turning away from her father and turning to Twilight

"Twilight are you OK?" asked Cadence moving closer to the smaller pony.

"No I am not OK!! A tyrant just called me his Queen then i also find out you the greatest foulsitter ever is the Daughter of him. What else was I not told?” Said Twilight with tears streaming down her face and looking down to the ground.

"Twilight look at me please." Asked Cadence but as Twilight looked up she saw a different pony in Cadence's eyes it was like she knew her longer than she had known "Twilight I wish I could tell you everything I know but I can't Celestia made me promise not to tell you until she thinks you’re ready."

"But I have always been ready. I have done so much more than most ponies would do in their lifetime.” Said Twilight still with tears streaming down her face but at a slower pace.

"I know you have Twilight and if it were me I would have said you were ready by now." Said Cadence trying to calm down Twilight

"Is this why she sent me up here." Asked Twilight

"No it is not. I requested for you to come and help me defeat Sombra and find the crystal heart because I only know one pony that can do that." Said Cadence

"But Celestia told me that this is a test to see if I am ready for the next level and I failed to get the Crystal heart to you which meant I failed my test." Said Twilight with triers now coming down faster.

“I know that she told you that it was a test but it is not. All this is to see if you are ready for the secrets that were hidden from you." Said Cadence

"What secrets?" Asked Twilight

"You will find out later when Celestia gets here. But for now, lets get back to your friends, ok." Said Cadence getting up and trying to get Twilight to follow her.

"OK Cadence lets go but one Question before we go." said Twilight as she got up and started to walk with Cadence down to the throne room.

“What is it Twilight?“ Asked Cadence

“When did you contact the princess and when is she going to be here?” asked Twilight

“I told Spike to send her a letter when he brought the crystal heart to me and knowing the urgency of it she will be here soon, ok.” said Cadence

“Ok” said Twilight as the Started to head down the stairs.

Chapter 3: Tears of Shadows

Princess Celestia and Luna just stared at Twilight and Cadence as they stayed in their embrace both of them crying. After a couple of minutes the two sister looked at each other and noded then looked at the other two ponies in the room and started to speak. "Twilight are you alright?"

As soon as she heard the Celestial sisters voices she released her embrace for Cadence and whispered something into her ear then turn toward the two alicorns and spook. "Yes I am alright Celestia, Luna. I just wanted to give Cadence a hug after all the time that had passed since I had hug her with me knowing who I am and who she is to me."

"Twilight Sparkle are you sure you are alright you don't sound like your normal self." Said Luna hesitantly as she moved closer to Twilight.

“Again Yes I am Luna. I am just mad at you and Celestia for what you did so many years ago." Said Twilight as she saw luna coming closer to her.

"Tia and I know that you are mad but we do it for your protection. You have more meaning to us than the moon and sun themselves." As Luna finished speaking she was close enough to grabbed Twilight into a hug

Twilight looked at Luna with a odd look on her face as she was pulled into a tighter hug and asked "What do you mean by that Luna?"

Luna looked down at Twilight like she had did something wrong and her eyes started to tear up as she looked into Twilight's eyes and saw nothing she remembered. "I-i-i have to go." Said Luna as she ran out of the throne room with tears down her face.

"But Luna what's .. Wrong." But Twilight was too late Luna had already left hearing distance. Then Twilight turned around to face Celestia and asked. "What did i do wrong that upset Luna?"

"You did nothing wrong Twilight Luna is just sad that something's did not come back to her." Answered Celestia and she started to move "I am very sorry but I have to go see if Luna is all right I will be back to check it on you later."

"OK Celestia I will see you in a little bit." Said Twilight as Celestia left.

As soon as Celestia left Twilight felt another pony pull her in a hug "Twilight, now would you like to go see Sombra?" Asked Cadence

Twilight thought for a minute before giving her an answer. "Yes I would love to see him right now." Then they started to walk off to the dungeons.

Celestia walked down the Crystal Palace looking for her sister only to find her in the room that was provided to her sister and herself. When she walked into the main room she heard cry coming from one of the two bedrooms. As she walked up to the door she saw that Luna was on the bed with tears flowing down her face.

Celestia went over to her sister and lay down next to her well draping a wing over her to confer her. "Luna I know you are sad but this is not her fault. You have to remember that you were the one who took her memories away from her in the first place but it is not your fault either." Said Celestia as she paused of a moment. "No it is neither of your faults its mainly mine after I told her that she was not allowed to see sombra after I saw what of his future."

"I know sister I remember the night you came and told me about what you saw about it. I also remember that you told me that it was better for you to tell Twilight that she was not allowed to see Sombra than it was for the both of us to." Said Luna accepting her sisters embrace.

The two were quiet for a few minutes before Celestia spoke up "You know that we could always bring her back where she remembers everything and not just some of it."

"Sister you and I both know that she get all of her memory's back that she will hate the both of us if we do." Said Luna as she backed away from her sister.

"I know Luna but I think it is for the best but--" bust she was cut off by Luna putting a hoof in her mouth

“Sister I don't think it is a good idea I also don't want her to be mad at us for what we had to do. I just wish we had not done it at all at least we wouldn’t have to deal with this now.” Yelled Luna

“Luna I think it is best but she will be mad at us but she will forgive us at some point.” Said Celestia after she got Luna’s hoof out of her mouth.

“Sister what you are suggesting is what i don't want to do and i also don't want to deal with it right now since we have more important matters on hand.” Said Luna as she stormed off though the castle.

As Sombra was laying on his cot he heard pony's outside his cell yelling at something. For a couple of minutes this went on until he heard the yelling stop and something coming up to his cell. Her looked over his shoulder to see Cadence standing there looking at him.

"I see that you are back what do you have for me this time?" As he sat up he saw another pony standing next to her.

"I brought you somepony you would love to see." Said Cadence as she revealed Twilight to Sombra.

"Why did you bring her she does not remember me. She doesn't even remember who she is or-" but Sombra was stopped by Twilight pulling him into a kiss.

"Remember Sombra things can change at any time." Said Twilight with a giggle

"W-W-Wh... How" Said Sombra in surprise as he got another kiss from Twilight

"I found the the hidden rooms in the private library thanks to Cadence" Said Twilight as Sombra looked over to his daughter.

As Sombra was about to speak his attention was pulled back to twilight as she put her hoof on his chen and making him look deeply in to her eyes

As Twilight looked into Sombra's eyes she saw many things. Things that was not best for the crystal empire. "You know Sombra when use to look into your eyes I sàw joy and acceptance but now when I look into your eyes I see nothing but darkness, despair and loneliness and that is not what this kingdom needs." Said Twilight as she moved away from Sombra only to see the the purple mist was still in his eye and was not dissipating like Cadence had said when she had encountered him.

As Sombra saw Twilight move away from him he moved closer only to be stopped by a magical field stopping him. He looked up at Twilight and asked "W-why is this field up why can't I come any closer?"

"Because you are not the stallion I love. The one I did was caring and kind but now I don't see that in you any more." Said Twilight as she looked back at sombra as tears slowly went down her face.

"But Twilight I am myself I haven't changed at all." Said sombra as he tried to force his way through the magical field only to be throwback in the cell

Twilight look at sombra as he laid on the ground slowly getting up “Sombra if you were yourself the Crystal heart would of let you near me have you forgotten that that i am bound to it. it wont let you near me because of the dark magic that runs through your veins.” As Twilight finished speaking she turned around and started to walk away from the cell.

As Sombra saw as the love of his life walked away from the cell he noticed Cadence looked back with back as she gave him an apologetic look before she continued to walk with Twilight.

After Twilight and Cadence had walked away Sombra looked at the ground sadden at what just happened as he had started to cry alone with no love around him.

Chapter 2: Lost Memories

Cadence was walking down the Crystal palace Dungeon walking toward a lit up cell. As she came up to the cell door she looked in to see a gray unicorn stallion with a charcoal black mane and tail sitting in the far corner of the cell.

"What are you doing here?" Asked Sombra looking over his shoulder at the pony at the cell door.

"I am here to see you. You may be an enemy of the empire but you are still a pony and my father." Exclaimed Cadence opening the cell door and walking in with a tray of food in her magic.

Sombra looked at the food and back at Cadence who had a smile on her face "Why are you being so nice to me Cadence." Asked Sombra taking the food from her magic and setting it next to him.

"Because you are my father and mom would have done the same if she was the one holding you here." Said Cadence sitting next to her father as he started to eat his food, but she still had a smile on her face.

“So what now? What is going to happen to me and what is going to happen to your mother." Asked Sombra looking over to Cadence after taking a couple of bites of his food.

Cadence looked at the ground then back at her father and said "Well after today mom will be back because Celestia and Luna will be here soon and they will be bring her back to us. I know they will." After she said that her smile disappeared. "But when they do bring mom is back, Celestia and Luna are going to keep you away from her and me and that is before they let her see you after she know what you have done." Now tears started coming down Cadence's face.

As soon as Sombra saw his daughter start to crying he stopped eating. Then moved closer and pulled her into a hug "Cadence what is wrong?" but all he got was loud sobs from her. “Cadence i can't help you if you don't tell me.” said Sombra but he still got nothing out of her. “Please tell me Cadence, I might not be your mother but you still can tell me.” but all he got was Cadence still crying uncontrollably.

After a couple of minutes Cadence's crying slowed a little bit and Sombra was still holding her. "Are you ok to talk about what's wrong Cadence?"

Cadence looked up at her father and not only was she to see her father was turning back into his normal self but the purple mist had completely disappeared but as she remembered that he was still under the control of dark magic and started to sob while giving her explanation. "I missed you and mom for the last thousand years. I have been alone this entire time not having a mother to comfort me when I was sad or depressed. No father to protect me from danger. No family to come to when I needed support. All I had was me and as soon as to you came back I fought with you. Which i am very sorry about but what really makes me sad is that and now you and mom will forced to fight with each other."

Sombra just pulled Cadence into a tighter hug and said "shh it is alright. You and I both know it will never get to that. Your mother loves me and you all the same. If i know her she will make sure that we are all together some how so please don't be like this i don't like seeing you cry.”

Cadence stayed in her father's embrace until she heard a somepony behind her and Sombra being removed from the hug and thrown against cell wall. She looked at where Sombra was and only to see her husband pressing him against the wall. “Shining what are you doing?"

"I’m protecting you. He was hurting you and-" said Shining only to get cut off by Cadence yelling at him

"Let him go now Shining. He was just giving me a hug." Yelled Cadence angrily at her husband who quickly released Sombra and put him back on the ground.

"W-w-why was he giving you a hug?" Asked Shining stunned on how his wife reacted.

"He was giving me a hug because I was falling apart and he has full right to give me a hug anyway because he is my father and-" Cadence said only to be cut off by Shining armor

"What!!!! What do you mean that he is your father. Y-y-you have to be lieing there is no way that you can be the daughter of him." Screamed Shining and pointing at Sombra

"Shining I am not lying. He is my father and before you ask Celestia told me to never tell this secret to anypony that includes you. Now tell me what you were doing down here before you throw my father into the wall.” said Cadence moving over to Sombra to see if he was ok and trying to change the subject.

Shining just stared at Sombra angrily and spook “I came down here to tell you that Princess Celestia and Luna have arrived and waiting for you.”

“Ok i will be there to meet them in the throne room in a little bit and let them i will be up soon.” said Cadence sitting down next the her father again

“ok Cadence but please be careful i still don't trust him as you do” Said Shining moving over to giving Cadence a kiss and turning around to walk out of the cell.

Sombra raised an eyebrow at the sight of his daughter kissing Shining Armor and as Cadence look at her fathers questioning look she started to blush "If you want to know anything about Shining you are going to wait till mom is back she might be about to help me to explain this to you.”

"Mhm" Was all that came out of Sombra's mouth as he started to eat again and starring where Shining Armor had just left.

(Some where else in the castle)

Twilight was looking around in the Crystal Palaces private library, which Cadence had shown her and her friends before walking off to do something but Twilight and her friends stayed behind but the only pony moving around the library was Twilight and her friend were sitting around a table in the middle of the room wondering why Twilight was acting the way she was.

As the five pony's and one dragon watched as the lavender unicorn ran around the library and tearing it apart trying to find something.

"Hey Twi are you alright?" Asked Rainbow dash

"Ya I am. Why wouldn't I be alright? I just have to find something." Answered Twilight removing more books off the shelves

"What are you looking for darling? We might be able to help find it." Said Rarity as she moved over to Twilight

"I'm sorry girls but I don't think that you would be able to help." Said Twilight pulling another set of books off the shelves

"What do you mean we can't help you?" Asked Rainbow Dash

"Because really don't know what I am looking for an the only reason I am taking the place apart is because I feel like I have been here before." Said Twilight taking another set of books off the shelf and as Twilight looked over to see she only had two shelfs left.

“Then why are you taking apart the library it was-” but Rainbow Dashs argument was halted as Twilight had just pulled out another set of books but to get a bright flash to happen on the other side of the library revealing a hall with Three doors down it.

“Twilight Darling what did you just find?” Asked Rarity as she looked down the hall with the rest of the Ponies.

“I don't know but lets find out.” said Twilight moving down the hall to see what is in the rooms but as Twilight started to approach the first room her head started to hurt. Then she opened the room to see it it had a mix of Gray and Purple she looked around to see a large and a with both colors mix in the middle producing a lite pink

“Oh sweet Celestia this room is just fabulous.” Said Rarity looking at all the designs in the room “Twilight i can't believe you found this this must have been lost to time.” Rarity turn around to congratulate Twilight but all she saw was her other friend standing behind her.

“Um Girls, Spike where did Twilight go?” asked Rarity looking around to find Twilight

They all gave a confused look Noticing Twilight was not with them any more “ i think she went outside room.” said Spike pointing to the door

They walked out to see that Twilight was on the ground with her hooves on her head in front of another room when they looked in they saw a small fillies room with pink everywhere and Toys scattered around. They looked back at Twilight who still had her hooves on her head after Spike saw the pain she was in he moved over to her and put a claw around her. “Twilight are you alright?”

“Yes…. i am…. we just…. need to…. see what…. is in the…. next room.” Said Twilight getting up slowly with one hoof on her head

“Twilight you are not in the condition to see the next room lets get you to the room Cadence gave us on our stay and you can rest.” said Spike stopping Twilight in her Tracks

“No Spike…. I have…. to see…. what is…. in the room.” she said as she lit up her horn and opening the door once she looked in her heart stopped and stared inside the room

Spike saw that Twilight had stopped and ran up to her and said “Twilight are you alright why are you just standing there?”he said before looking inside to room and saw why Twilight Stopped in her tracks. in side was two sets of regalia on for a filly and another for a adult mare. he looked back at Twilight to see she was moving back toward the library and said “I have to find Cadence.” as she ran off toward the throne room

Cadence sat on the throne and Celestia and Luna were talking to her “... and where is Twilight right now?” said Luna

“She is somewhere in the castle i think she is in the library.” said Cadence

“What do you mean she is somewhere in the castle.” Yell Luna

“I left her-” but she was cut off by the throne room doors bursting open and Twilight Running over to Cadence and pulling her into a hug.

Cadence looked down and saw that Twilight had tears in her eyes and she pulled Twilight into a bigger hug and asked “What is wrong Twilight?”

All she heard was “I remember.” and she look at Celestia and Luna with as if the world had just ended.
