"NightFall will rise,"

"NightFall will rise. . . again!"

"I can now Tia," he used the shadow fiddling around swirling his body left and right around the second eldest.

Celestia finally stopped struggling in her shadow she was at the point if it was to go tighter she will die a horrible death.

Suddenly as the blade lowered it was encased in a gray and red aura. "I'm with you brother," his sister smiled at him warming his heart.

"Beautiful is it not sis?"

With a roll of his eyes NightFall brought his hoof along his sister's chin. "Oh, Tia, he might've beaten the first level but, can he beat level two?"

Song Comet was observant of his surroundings. Soon he glanced to his lagging behind sister. "C'mon Sweet, hurry up, we got a lot of ground to cover!" he called behind his shoulder not giving the faintest clue of how tired he truly is.

Sweet Song groaned as she tried to get to her brother. "What happens now Comet?" Song asked her voice squeaking a tad.

Comet sighed, he can't fight it forever. "We find shelter and sleep," he stated a bit of anger in his voice. He doesn't want to sleep.

Sweet Song though nervous also looked forward for sleep. "Okay, let's go," she sighed her eyes were already drooping downward.

Song Comet bit his lip, he wasn't all that tired and who knows who or what is in the Forest of Misery, odds are that Slender Mane wasn't the last figure. Finally they made it to a cave. "This'll do I guess," Song Comet brushed a gray hoof across the jagged rocks.

"I guess," Sweet Song groaned as she grabbed a pile of wet leaves to use as pillows. The sound of the raining was sudden and unexpected. One moment they were in a sunny landscape, then a darker drizzling landscape, then this.

"Goodnight Sweet Song," he said clenching his sword in his gray aura with much force.

Sweet Song taking notice. "Aren't you going to sleep?" she asked her voice a little weak from the running she had to do from Slender Mane.

He glanced to her and shook his head. "No, I gotta make sure this'll be safe first," in truth he planned not to sleep. Soon he saw his sister fall asleep, he smiled at the sight. "Cute," he said smiling. He began to feel lightheaded as if he hadn't slept in years, though it was only a day. Suddenly Song fell over getting up he heard a voice.

"Song Comet, Song Comet, come to me," the voice said it sounded fairly familiar. "Song Comet, come to me," it said the voice beginning to sound clearer. He looked to see his sister still sleeping silently. Song got up and walked to the voice, there he was; his father. "D-Dad, what the buck are you doing he-" he soon stopped mid-sentence as he grew nearer to his father. Whom was bleeding from the eyes.

"What's wrong Song, too scared of your old man?" the voice grew deeper and deeper.

Song clenched his eyes shut tightly. "You’re not real!" he screamed eyes still clenched shut.

He felt his chin raised by a red aura. "What's a matter son? Don't recognize your own father?" the voice said the magic trying to meet his eyes.

"Go away!" Comet demanded soon feeling his eyes open to the sight of NightFall.

He saw his father chained to a table. Suddenly NightFall stuck a large sword into the pony. Blood squirted everywhere, his coat being drenched in his father's crimson red liquid his last sight was his father with no eyes and smirking at him in a twisted sense.

Song Comet opened his eyes, seeing a pony figure standing over him. The pony was a dark blue, black mane, and a dismembered pony head as his cutie mark. With one quick jump Song Comet avoided the eyeless looking pony's knife and grabbed Sweet Song. In his running motion he looked back, the pony only walking to him. An eyebrow rose as the pony suddenly disappeared. Song Comet slowly lost speed clenching his sword with his magic. Soon the pony was right in front of him. With one swoosh the blade split the pony in half blood dripping from the . . . thing's neck, and black ooze dripping from the black eye sockets. Song gulped and looked to his sister. "You ready to continue?" he asked his younger sister who nodded quickly. They left that behind them.

"Whatever is coming I'm with you brother," Sweet Song jumped at Song Comet hugging him tightly. He'll never understand why Princess Celestia sent him with his family . . . ever.

Meanwhile

NightFall sighed, there's but one more challenge they must overcome before him. "You will be stopped Fall!" Celestia hissed a quick pinch at her waist was felt. NightFall rolled his eyes. "You know, sometimes I think you hate me," he sighed putting on a sad face. Celestia remembers what he used to look like, he never had bat wings. NightFall had normal wings or he used to.

"What happened to your old wings?" she asked an eyebrow rose to the air.

His wings spread to its fullest extent. "This, I just got a while back, Tia," NightFall's wings brushed against Princess Celestia's coat.

It occurred to Celestia, maybe he isn't evil . . .

"What do you think is next Sweet Song?" she asked scared slightly.

Comet bit his lip, they've heard of that murderer as well. "I-I don't know Sweet," he rubbed the back of his mane.

"Oh," Sweet Song sighed lightly.

A smirk landed on NightFall's face. "Let's see how Song Comet deals with the last challenge, shall we Tia?" he chuckled in the trademark insane tone.

A frown grew on Celestia's face. "What is the next challenge Fall?" she asked not moving from her spot of torture.

"You'll see . . ."
