//-------------------------------------------------------// The New Hope Arises -by pegasis23- //-------------------------------------------------------// //-------------------------------------------------------// ~Prologue~ //-------------------------------------------------------// ~Prologue~                                                                         ~Prologue~                 The lavender alicorn stood her ground and put up her shield just as the King charged forth. Instead of the attack she was anticipating,King Sombra's spell went right through the shield and into her head where the dark magic begin to take hold of her. Twilight's eyes turned green and smoke began to appear out of her eyes.                 Twilight Sparkle,the new princess who had went to the Crystal Empire to see her in-laws,found a strange horn and after probing it with magic,it turned smoky,then into the pony she thought she had defeated long time ago. Twilight was soon on the ground,screaming  and screaming as the spell did its work. It tore away everything and her memories that she held dear to,her friends,her family and her mentor,Princess Celestia in the most painful way possible. Her true self,was shut away,within the confines of her heart and a new one took over. Twilight Sparkle had turned into a new slate,one for King Sombra to write upon.                                          ~Later ,that day~                                 "Twilight!" Cadence cried out just as Twilight set foot on the land                                "Sunshine sunshine-"   "What are you doing?" Twilight dumbly asked,her eyes glazed over with a confused and shocked expression. Cadence stood up from her position and stared at Twilight with a confused face. "I was just-"Cadence was cut off with a rude reply,"Get out my way,loser!" Cadence,now suspicious,tailed her . "Twilight what is with you?You were never like this!"Cadence asked "Well,now I am like this,so stop following me around like a stupid dog!" Twilight harshly retorted. Cadence stopped in her hoofsteps and tears begin to gather in her eyes. Without realizing that a tinge of smoke began to leak out of Twilight's eyes,Cadence turned tail and ran away sobbing.                As soon as Cadence ran away,a shadow came out of Twilight,hissing in delight. Sombra had did it. He managed to sneak inside the Crystal Empire.             "Twilight Sparkle my fiance,be a dear and help me hide the Crystal heart." Sombra softly whispered into her ears. That was all she need to hear before taking off to hide away the Heart. That day onwards,Sombra began to take over Equestria through Twilight. Her magical abilities were so great, she turned Celestia and Luna in to stone without a single sense of remorse or sweat.Back in Ponyville,Discord had heard of Twilight's sudden change and as quick as a lightning,placed up a shield around Ponyville,and helped to evacuate all the ponies he could from Twilight's grasp.                                        -20 years later,in our world-            "C'mon Crysie,it's only one glass and your done!"Drew pushed the glass full of wine,hot sauce ,apple juice,soda , some funny clear rock  they found just outside the backyard. and all the spices the little group of teens found in the kitchen like rosemary,pepper ,salt,coffee,etc. Crystal and her friends were having a sleepover and this was a dare challenge Crystal had to face.  The rest of her family had gone to Canada while she had to stay at home to take care of everything. "O-Okay. All in one go!"Crystal took the glass and gulped it down in two,three great gulps. As the group cheered,Crystal croaked,"Ughh,I think I swallowed the rock." What Crstal didn't know is she would be taken to a magical land called Equestria. //-------------------------------------------------------// ~Chapter 1~ //-------------------------------------------------------// ~Chapter 1~                                      ~In our world~                   Crystal began to feel uncomfortable in the sleeping bag. Groaning in pain from the effects she was starting feel from the awful drink,Crystal went to the toilet. Unknown to her,the Moon began to rise. Suddenly,Crystal had the need to get out. Her stomach magically stopped hurting her and before she knew it,she was basking in the moonlight. Sparkles began to appear out of nowhere.'Ugh,hallucinations again...",Crystal thought,gazing at the sparkles which started to gather around her,'They even feel so real!' Crystal giggled              Crystal suddenly stopped giggling,'Wait,REAL?!' Crystal began to panic,"No,stay away from me !No..NO!Nooooo!" Crystal screamed as the twinkles swirled around her,taking her away to Equestria.                                                              ~In Equestria,Crystal Empire~             An army of crystal ponies,coats now as dull as can be,trudged about with their daily routine. Sombra nuzzled his wife,his wants now satisfied. "Alone time,My dear!"Twilight harshly snapped,stepping away from him.Pouting,Sombra went back to the book chamber to continue his leisure reading.Twilight felt as though she needed to remember something but could not think of what. The rainbow maned pegasus,the shy yellow pegasus,the white unicorn and the hyper pink earth pony and the other country mare seem to stir her so much,her usual schedule was forgotten. "Who are those ponies?Why does it seem that I don't want to hurt them? Am I still as before?"Twilight murmured to herself,gazing at a shining yellow orb in her crystal ball,which was Ponyville itself.       A huge explosion from the small village shook Twilight.It was a wave of magic,Magic she used to do in the past,the magic that she now despised.  "What was that?!"Twilight raised her voice.      "Um,My Queen,Tea is served."Her personal slave whimpered as she balanced the tray on her head. Munching on her cookie,Twilight's mind wondered to how she will try and conquer Ponyville.                                 ~In Ponyville,after the Explosion~                      "Are ya alrigh',Sugarcube?" A country voice awoke Crystal ,no correction,Crystal Crown. "Ughhh..."The alicorn mare groaned and winced as she got up. Head?Check Neck?Still intact.Good good. Hooves?Che-Wait a minute!    Crystal opened her eyes after the stupor she suffered from hitting the ground so hard.She flapped her wings and felt around her head.A protruding thing was on her head and a metal thing which she was sure was a crown. "AHHHHHHHHH!"Crystal screamed in her Canterlot Voice.                    "Ok,what is goin' on -WOW!"Discord gaped at the sapphire blue alicorn with a elegant crown on her head and a crown similar in design on her flank. Her mane and tail was similar to Celestia's,flowing with magic.                     "I..I'm A FREAKING PONY!" Crystal began to hyperventilate,her horn emitting sparks from her .                     "SIMMER DOWN,SALLY!" Applejack yelled,hoofing over a soothing cup of tea.             A few hours later,Crystal calmed down and gazed at the five alicorns. "I don't understand",Crystal was confused,"How did I get here?How are all of you alicorns?"              Fluttershy  sighed,"Discord,help here?" Discord,without hesitating launched in to the tale,by snapping his claws and in a flash,they appeared into the past.                      " After Twilight turned evil,we had no choice but to put up a shield.At different times of day,we would power our shield so that Twilight could not conquer our village. "Fluttershy said,pointing at the scene of all of them and Discord shooting beams together to protect the village.                      "Which explains us bein' Alicorns ,so tah' we can protect our village and ready te fight Twilight at anytime.She could strike at any moment." Applejack pointed at the wings and horn she bore upon herself.                      "But I know she must be still in there,caz she didn't even attempt to assassinate us." Rainbow Dash put in,pointing at a different screen,showing a time when Twilight cornered the 5 of them and suddenly refused to fire the death beam.                     Crystal,baffled,asked,"But how did I get here?"                       "Did you touch a particular stone like this?"Rarity asked,conjuring a picture of a familiar stone.                     "Err,actually,I swallowed it..." Crystal,sheepishly admitted.                           Pinkie gasped,"How did you do it?!"                           Crystal explained her story. Discord began to snicker . "It's not funny!I HAD TO DRINK THAT GLASS OF SHIT!" The ponies stopped  laughing at once,serious once more. "               Now what do we do?"Pinkie asked worriedly.The mysterious turquoise surroundings turned back to the same table outside Sweet Apple Acres .                      "Dunno.But we need to rethink our plans now we got anther alicorn on our side."Applejack replied,slicing up some applepie to share around.                                                            ~In the Crystal Empire~                   Twilight finished her tea and put away the book that contained war techniques,her eyes glowing more sinisterly than before,"Looks like its going to be fun from here on."She mused evilly,standing over her gilded balcony ,"And I'm coming for you,Crystal Crown!"
