Ch. 1: Fate and Memories
The woman and her husband were crying. They were so happy. They had been trying for years to get have a child, and now the woman held her newborn son.
As unlikely as is seems, the woman was wrong. At the exact she was telling her newborn that, so were three other mothers.
+++++++++ 16 years in a few short seconds +++++++++
Mat grew up as a happy child. He was a good boy, he did his homework and chores, and never got into trouble. He enjoyed juggling, and was able to do so by the age of three. He enjoyed playing with dice, and made several dice games. He was a very popular boy, but his parents were worried about him. He never had any friends over, nor went to any other friends houses, he didn't go to school dances, and always seemed a bit distant.
Mat awoke with a start. It was the first period of a new school year. Mat glanced around and noticed that there were several new kids standing at the front of the class. The teacher cleared his throat and introduced the new kids.
First there was John. He was what most people would call a nerd, if not for the air of sophistication around him.
Next their was Diane. Some people might have called her cold, but Mat could tell that she was just a quiet person, but not shy, just quiet.
Lastly there was Aurora. She was a happy girl and seemed to be taking everything around her in. Mat could almost see her memorizing the face of everyone in the class.
There was one more surprise for Mat when the teacher cleared his throat and said, "Just like our Mat, all of thee new students were born on February 29th."
Mat suddenly felt great, he smiled as John, Diane, and Aurora took their seats. And he smiled even wider as memories flooded his mind.
Twilight Sparkle was dreaming. It was a very strange dream, but not one she hadn't had before.
She looked all around her, and saw only darkness, with a bit of concentration she changed her perspective, she was now looking as herself, or as what she thought was herself in this strange place. A pulsing ball of violet light, like a small purple sun. Her thoughts drifted through the peaceful void she had found herself in for the past few weeks every time she fell asleep.
Then suddenly she wasn't alone. There were four other balls of light, all far larger then Twilight's own. One was a dark blue, almost black, and Twilight felt as if she should be scared, but wasn't. Right beside is was another one, this one being pure white and so radiant, that Twilight could only think of it as a second sun. Beside these two there was a steadily glowing golden orb, and a rapidly pulsing orb whose color was constantly changing.
The four strange lights were circling each other, then suddenly they rushed together, and Twilight felt a wave of elation burst out of them. If Twilight had vocal chords, she no doubt would have shrieked in surprise. Slowly the four lights turned their attention to her. Twilight didn't know how she knew, but she could almost feel them looking at her. The lights seemed to converse for a bit, before coming to an agreement. The lights all rushed at Twilight, before enveloping her. Twilight fell into a dreamless sleep for the rest of the night.
Mat awoke with a start, with a giant creature looming over him. It had no eyes, but a multitude of slobbering mouths filled with sharp teeth. Mat shouted out and pointed his palm at the monster. Seven small objects ripped through the creature, which faded away. Calling the objects back, Mat realized that their time here was up, Mat opened the window, and dropped down, into the dead of night.
Mat was running down the road, when he heard a shout, he turned and saw John running towards him, with a golden medallion hanging around his neck.time you woke up."lucky that I did."
All of them became aware of there surroundings. It was dark, and each of them was a ball of light. They all waited a moment to see if they had been followed, and after a moment rushed together.
All of them were suddenly aware of a smaller presence observing them. They all threw their awareness towards it.
What is it? What is it?
The golden orb reached out its conciseness and viewed the strange things memories.
Well is it one like us?
All four beings rushed towards the small violet light and rode the trails of Twilight Sparkle's conciseness back into her world.

How was that for a start?
Any ideas, critiques, or opinions?
Also if any of you are wondering why I didn't put this in the human category, then you really didn't read the description.
Also if any of you want spoilers, no. I'm just going to be making this up as I go along, with a few fixed points. So if I read anything in the comments that sounds like a good idea to me, it may end up in here, credit given where credit is due.

Ch. 2: Worlds and Beliefs
Author's notes:
"When talking out loud the format will be like this"When dreaming the majority of things will be italicized and non-immortal characters will be referenced to when they speak.
So far the gods/ goddesses speak like this when in dreams
Mat
Also POV changes will occur through the story, but they should be fairly obvious and easy to follow.
In addition I will be asking/polling on how to advance the plot at certain times, this is because I have about eight different story lines going on in my head right now for this and I want to narrow it down a bit.
Now on with the story!
It was late in the day when Twilight woke up. The sun was already high in the sky. 'Sweet Celestia,' Twilight thought, 'I haven't slept this long in ... ever!' Twilight shook herself then froze, hearing a flurry of quiet whispers.
Coming down the stairs Twilight sighed, her hope in vain. Spike was in the kitchen making some food.A General History Of Equestria to pass the time, until her friends would be waking up, and to take her mind of the very strange event which had just occurred.
In the dark void there were four balls of light, then they were gone.
Alright, now we can talk.
All four lights flickered at the thought at being trapped in an unfriendly mind.
Well we don't have to worry, I'm sure everything will go fine.
If godly beings of pure concentrated energy could smack themselves in the face this would be the perfect example.
I don't suppose you could of mentioned this earlier?
The void tinged purple from the irritation coming from the darkest light.
Ahem ... well ... um ... you see...
GET ON WITH IT!
That our current vessel, Twilight Sparkle, is the protege of Celestia.
There was another wonderful demonstration of nigh-omnipotent beings smacking themselves in the face.
I don't know if I should blame you for not telling us sooner, or you for bringing Her to us in the first place.
A pulse of memories surged out of the golden light, and distorted the other lights before being absorbed. There were a few moments of silence while the three gods were digesting the newly gained memories and experiences.
So, the Elements of Harmony.
The lights glowed brighter and brighter, before fading away, leaving only darkness once again.

Thought
This chapter might be a bit dark.
Also just letting you know that I wrote most of this on a tablet, so there will probably be some spelling mistakes, and format mistakes. Let me know if you see any.
The four lights, seeking balance, flowed around each other.
It has been such a long time since we tried this last.
Focus
The four gods focused, and fell back into a memory from the beginning, their beginning.
The Being was tired, it had been living in Utopia since it had came to be, it was powerful, but that was pointless when one was alone. The Being felt an urge, an unstable need, The Being gave in. It Created.
Grinning in triumph another Being felt the act of Creation.
The Being melded with it's lover. It had never know she was there, just she had never known of him. To him she was peace and freedom, to her he was hope and passion. Together they Created, joining as one making and four new lives, before she returned to her domain. The Being was happy, he was now a he, no longer an it, and he was no longer lonely. The four new lives looked up to the being, and said the one thing which would make the coming horror worth it.
It had been many years since the act of Creation and the new lives had grown. One day they asked, The Being replied yes, but he did not know them, as names were sacred, and one had to find their name for themselves. The new lives paused, then asked,
Focus
In the paradise of Utopia the Children of Thought learned. They learned from experience, and from observing, but they enjoyed learning the most when they were taught by Thought. The lessons from Thought were always important, and Thought was patient and answered every question that was asked. The Children of Thought wondered what all living things did, how did I come to be? Thought explained that they were gods creatures of the mind that come from the mind, that they were made of beliefs, dreams, hopes, wonders, and necessity. Thought explained that he himself came from the belief in sentience and the mind. Thought explained how the four gods were made of the four constants in all of the worlds, and that they would be able to draw power from them. Thought then felt a disturbance and decided then that he would tell his children about the coming battle, and their role in it. Thought began to explain, about how the mind was powerful, but delicate, and that the amazing things that were created were balanced by the primal terrors which lurk deep in the psyche. Thought told them of his opposite and brother, who could only destroy, but longed to Create. Thought told the gods of Vice, the name his brother had taken after he had first tried to kill Thought. Thought explained how Vice reached deep into the mind and began to pull out the monsters contained within to serve him. Thought called these the Monsters of the Mind. There were the Fears, weak creatures, but so numerous that millions could die, and billions would be their to take their place. Then there are the Pains and Memories, which consume each other along with Fears to become stronger, twisting the mind and growing from the chaos. The Phobias came next. Fears that have been worshiped, or accepted by many, gaining powers far greater then all Fears combined. The generals of Vice's army were the Sins and the Guilts. Powerful creatures and nearly impossible to destroy. These creatures could force their will over trillions of Fears, Pains, and Memories, molding them all into a single destructive force. The only weakness they held was that they could only act in a limited way, having no other ideas and plans, aside from those they were born with. The final monster that Vice called forth were the Mad. Whole minds which had lost their belief in Thought. Far stronger then any of the others, the Mad were nearly impossible to control, but fortunately they were few and far between. Thought shuddered as a rift was opened into Utopia, The four gods turned around to see a large figure, darker than anything. The dark figure swept over her children and the last sight they saw, before fading, was their father grappling with a corrupted reflection of himself, while Utopia was swarmed by uncountable horrors.
Focus
In the darkness the gods searched, they reached out to each other, but were unable to touch. Waves of sorrow rolled off them, and pulses of compassion were sent in return. Hours, seconds, years, days passed and the gods learned. When the gods could no longer stay, their mother taught them a final lesson. "Listen careful, my children, for this is how to make yourself a body, a vessel to exist in other worlds..."

Ch. 4: Same Old Fight, Brand New Beginning
Key:
Here you all go, the next chapter. And not just that, it's a loooooooong chapter, considering a fair number of you asked for it.
Hope you enjoy!
'Today's going to be a good day.' Twilight thought, and so far she was right. Asides from the strange sleepwalking episode, which she had promptly forgot about while reading A General History Of Equestria , the day was going absolutely perfect. After Twilight had finished reading, she headed downstairs to make herself some breakfast. After eating, Twilight had headed over to Sugar Cube Corner to talk to Pinkie Pie about the congratulations-Fluttershy-for-helping-your-ten-thousandth-animal party, she had been planning. After a few hours of organizing the party, and eating (Pinkie called it "testing") cupcakes, Twilight headed back to the Library. On the way she bumped into Rarity, who asked if Twilight could let her borrow Spike tomorrow, so she could go gem hunting. After telling Rarity she would think about it, Twilight continued back home,simply overjoyed, and not about Spike.
Dear Twilight Sparkle,
My sister Luna will be heading to the old castle, in the Everfree Forest, in a few days. She will be looking for anything which may still remain there and possible be useful. I was hoping that you could accompany Luna, as I believe that you would enjoy exploring the castle, and it would make Luna happy as well. Who knows, you might find an old tome, or lost artifact there.
Your teacher, Princess Celestia.
Of course Twilight had accepted, it wasn't every day that you got to explore one of the most famous ruins around. She was simply giddy with the thought of discovering some long lost history, or relic. Well, there was no time to waste, Princess Luna had informed her that they would meet on the edges of the Everfree, then head in.
'... to be a good day.' Luna thought, as she lighted down in the ancient courtyard. She could almost picture it, the way it used to look. 'Great majestic halls, grand statues, and...'Friends? Why would you need those. Oh, Luna ... don't you remember me, we spent so much time together. Of course I am, the ponies still fear you, they sill hate you, why not come back to me, everything was so much easier then. So be it.
"Now are ya sure, that ya don't need us ta come with you?" Asked Applejack for the tenth time.
Well this isn't good.
"What could you possibly hope to do to defeat me, Nightmare Moon, when I have the powers of a go..."
Well that went well.The strain pulsing out from the rapidly shifting light caused some small waves of embarrassment from the three others.
Twilight woke up in the Ponyville Hospital. 'What happened, there was Nightmare Moon and... Nightmare Moon!' Twilight opened her eyes and glanced to the window, relief flooding through her as she saw the sun shining in. She turned her head to see a very large, pink face.
'Pinkie had really outdone herself.' Twilight thought. It was the day after she had gotten out of the Hospital, and last night's party had been huge! Twilight still couldn't believe that Pinkie had made a life-sized cake of them all. Twilight stretched, and got out of bed. A moment later Spike came barreling into the room.

Ch. 5: Rebirth and Inheritance
Key:
Also with the introduction of the new god babies the thoughts will be differentiated by bolding the elders.
I really don't know what to put here... except a warning of a severely damaged wall.
Alright! Next chapter.
I think they might have broke her...
Twilight stared at the four children around her, her mind going into overdrive. 'They called me mommy. Do they think I'm their mother? Where would they get that idea from? If I'm the mother, then whose the father?' Twilight blushed, and pulled her mind away from that particular train of thought.no names , and we can't keep on calling them them forever, the readers would get tired of it very quickly." The last part was aimed at an unseen audience.
So... would you care to explain that one, Mat?The sarcasm was almost palatable. When you don't have a face it is incredibly hard to deadpan, but James did a remarkable job.
Celestia was worried, it had been two days since the incident, and she still wasn't saying what had happened. 'Luna, why won't you open up to me? You haven't come out of you room since you got back.' Celestia was desperate for her sister to get better, and she was also desperate to find out what had happened. 'That's it, I'm going to find out what went wrong, and I won't rest until I do!' With that thought Celestia teleported to her sister's door.it happened."it ?"
Nightmare Moon swirled around, confused. Where was it? What was happening? Suddenly it saw something that sent awe running thought it's entire being. Two giant creatures locked together in a desperate struggle, neither yielding, each equal to the other. Nightmare felt itself being pulled towards the more demonic of the two.
Who are you?"N-n-nightmare M-moon" One of the most powerful beings in all of Equestria feared by millions had no hesitation when it spoke. "Master"
The giant figure started to inhale, sucking Nightmare Moon into it's being. But it was not consumed, inside the most powerful force of destruction in all of existence, it was safe, it was an observer.
You shall get to see this battle to the end, for informing me of where my targets are.
Maniacal laughter filled the air as an infinite number of horrors from the deepest crevices of the mind slowly began to turn towards their new goal, a single, small reality, which held the beings they had been made to destroy.
What a wonderful time for a hunt.
Author's Note
Oh, no! What ever shall happen?
Also any of you have suggestions for baby names?
And, as always, I appreciate your:
P.S. Have fun guessing who Mat used to make his counterpart's body.
P.P.S. Quickly pass me some bricks, I have to repair the huge hole Pinkie left in the fourth wall before the next chapter!
Young Gods
Ch. 6: Names and Introductions
Key:
Twilight, Rarity, Applejack, Rainbow Dash, Fluttershy, and Pinkie were resting under some trees on Sweet Apple Acres. They were also having a unique discussion.
Finally! I thought they would never give them names.
"How about Sun Dial? Or how about Time Turner?"
I have no words to describe this.
About thirty minutes and two-hundred names later
"Alright," Twilight said with a huff, "We FINALLY figured out what we're going to call them. One of you come up here."
"TWILIGT, TWILIGHT!"
Well it's about time!The four ponies looked around. They were in a strange place, it looked like the library, but there were no books, or anypony else, for that matter. Looking the the windows all that could be seen was darkness. The ponies felt a rush of reassurance, somehow knowing that these, whatever they were, were telling the truth.
With this the library split into four, isolating each of the ponies with a strangely familiar glowing presence.
Golden Sands, you are like me, a God of Time. You can control the speed at which things happen, the personal time flow around each individual, and even stop time in it's entirety. Eventually you will be able to view all that has happened, and all that could happen.
Blooming Orchid, my sister, you are a Goddess of Life. You can cause plants to bloom in barren earth, you can shape and move them to your will, you can heal wounds, fix bones, cleanse minds, cure disease, and eventually revive the recently deceased.
Midnight Specter, during your life you may be feared, hated, even attacked. I understand this and will offer what comfort I may, for you are a Goddess of Death. You can inflict injury, cause famine, plague, and war. You can give rest to the troubled, and and an end to the wicked. You can speak to spirits, and visit the realms of the dead. You have stewardship over all the bodies of the dead, and they will serve you. Finally you will be able to resurrect the dead, but only just.
Lucky Roll, my dear brother, my closest kin, you are very powerful, but your power is unwieldy. This is because you are a God of Entropy, better known as natural chaos, or even simply luck, but far greater. You can tip the balance of fortune, affect chance and causality, overrule the decreed fate of another, even a fate decreed by another god. Your power is rooted in balance and unbalance, give and take, order and chaos, yin and yang. You could survive falling down a flight of three hundred stairs, and walk away with no injuries, then in a few minutes trip over a pebble and break your leg. Your power is unpredictable at first, but with practice you will be able to feel you way through it's patterns, and completely control it.
The library rushed back together and for a moment there was silence, while the four digested this new, yet ancient, knowlage.
Whoa
"Whoa" indeed, that was your first lesson. Now I believe that you should rest, you will be having a very important meeting soon.

Ch. 7: Salutations and Scheming
Author's notes:
Key:Luck Time Death Life
Twilight was laying of her couch panting. She had been rushing to get the library cleaned up for the princesses, and she was exhausted. Suddenly she bolted up glancing all around, before letting out a breath of relief. The four foal were still there. They were curled up, out of the way, sleeping.
'They're so cute,' Twilight shook her head, 'Focus Twilight, you have to remember everything that has happened. Once the Princesses get here everything will be sorted out.'
Twilight gave the Library one last look, seeing if everything was in place. Satisfied she headed out the front door to wait for the Princesses. Twilight glanced up at the sky.
'The Princesses should be here any minute now. I should be ably the see their chariots by now. I wonder if something happened. The Princesses wouldn't be late for something this important, they jus...'
Twilight's thoughts were cut off as a large flash of light came from the library. After rushing back inside, she froze. Standing in the library were the two rulers of Equestria, Princess Celestia and Princess Luna.
"P-p-princesses, I-i, didn't expect you to, um, er" Twilight spluttered, before trailing off into mumbles.
"Twilight Sparkle, my faithful student, it is wonderful to see you again."
"WE CONCUR, TIS MOST GLORIOUS TO SEE THEE ONCE AGAIN. BUT WE MUST KNOW, HOW FAIR THEE, AFTER YOUR MOST RECENT HOSPITALIZATION? "
Twilight was knocked out of the library by the force of Luna's voice. Celestia gently chided her sister.
"Oh, um, sorry." Luna mumbled.
Twilight staggered back into the library, "No, it's fine. I am doing much better, thank you for asking."
"Pleasantries aside Twilight, I have heard about the 'incident' from Luna, but I was wondering if you could perhaps tell us things from your perspective, it may clear up some things."
Twilight quickly launched into an explanation of what had happened. When she finished both Princesses were more confused then before they had started.
"Twilight, are you sure you don't remember anything else?"
"No, Princess, that's everything I can remember. Do you think that there might be something preventing me from remembering?"
""Actually, we believe that that could be a distinct possibility. Twilight Sparkle, would thou grant us permission to preform a memory spell, in order to determine if there is any magical causes for thy lack of memory?"
Twilight thought for a moment before responding, "W-well, I suppose so..."
"Most excellent! Now sister would care to lead this spell?"
Celestia stepped forward, horn slightly glowing. "Everything will be fine, Twilight, " Celestia said gently, "Just relax, and open your mind."
Celestia lowered her horn to touch Twilight's, when a sudden explosion sent the Princess of the Sun flying end over end, before crashing into the wall.
"SISTER!" Luna shouted, rushing to Celestia's side. Celestia sat up, blinking groggily.
" 'M fine," she shook her head, getting rid of the ringing in her ears, "I'm fine Luna, is Twilight alright?"
The pair of Princesses looked up the where the purple unicorn was. Sitting around her crying were four foals. Twilight was murmuring to them.
"Shhh, Shhh, its ok, its alright. Everything's fine. I'm all right. OK? Will you stop crying now?"
The four foals sniffled, before nodding.
"Alright, now I want you to go and apologize to the Princesses."
The four foals tottered up to the stunned Luna, and still slightly punch-drunk Celestia, and mumbled something.
"I can't here you." Twilight said.
The four mumbled again.
"A bit louder."
"We sobby!" The foals cried, before breaking out in to tears again.
"Erm, Twilight? Might you inform us as to what just happened?"
Well, that could have gone better.
You don't say?
Well it wasn't that bad.
They flung the Solar goddess into a WALL! How much worse could it get?
Powerful little buggers, aren't they.
Don't compliment them!
Why? It's not like they can hear us.
It's a matter of principal!
Well, I still think that the meeting went well. At least the Sun and Moon aren't trying to kill them.
Though getting thrown into the dungeons for a few centuries isn't out of the question.
Oh, don't be such a pessimist...
Realist
Pessimist. I'm sure that Celestia and Luna will understand and forgive them.
Celestia and Luna sat down, mouths agape, as Twilight finished her story. Lucky Roll, Blooming Orchid, and Golden Sands sat next to Twilight. Midnight Specter was next to Luna, and was mimicking her.
"So, you mean to say that these four, " Luna gestured to the four foals, as did Midnight, "all mysteriously appeared, and you have no idea of where they came from?"
Luna raised a hoof to her chin, "And they all have very powerful magic, and think that you're their mother? Very strange, very strange." Luna tapped her chin thoughtfully, "I wonder, hmm... Celestia, what is it?" Luna turned to her sister, who burst out laughing, along with three of the foals.
Luna glanced down beside her, Midnight did the same before quickly looking back at Luna with a sheepish grin.
"This is no time for such foolery! We have much to figure out."
Celestia burst out laughing again and Luna shot a glare at the filly beside her, who had a look of complete innocence on her face.
"So, I'm guessing that you have never seen anything like this?"
"I'm sorry Twilight," Celestia said, stifling her giggles, "but no, I have never seen or heard of anything like this. If we want any answers we'll have to find these four's parents."
"We may have an idea for that. We believe that a location spell, in combination with a paternity spell, may be able to direct us to their parents."
"That's an excellent idea Princess. I'll get started right away." With that Twilight ran off to gather the needed materials, leaving the Princesses alone with the four foals.
"Luna, is she gone?"
"Yes sister. I've also placed a silence spell around this room."
'Twilight, I hope you forgive me for this,' Celestia thought, 'but I don't trust these four at all.'
Celestia glared at the foals, "Now, who are you? What are you doing here? What do you plan on doing with Twilight? ANSWER ME!"
The four foals looked terrified, but eventually Lucky Roll took a small step forward. The other three huddled together, and motioned for him to come back, but he shook his head and slowly trotted up to Celestia. Lucky looked up at Celestia, with a very solemn look on his face, and motioned her to lean in. Celestia slowly lowered her head until she was level with Lucky.
Lucky took a deep breath and then quickly poked Celestia on the muzzle and shouted, "BOOP!" before erupting into laughter, and running back to join the others.
Golden Sands and Blooming Orchid joined in with the laughter, while Midnight Specter covered her face with a hoof.
Celestia fell backwards, startled. She narrowed her eyes,
"If that's how you want to play..." Celestia's horn glowed brighter than the sun, "I COMMAND YOU TO REVEAL YOUR SECRETS! "
A beam of light shot out and struck the foals, causing them to glow. The glow brightened until the entire room was completely white. When the light faded Celestia and Luna looked on, slack-jawed, at the four foals rolling on the floor giggling.
"Again again again again again again again again again again again again again again again."
Celestia slumped as the toll of her spell finally hit her.
"Luna."
"Yes sister?
"This may be harder than we thought."
Realist, as I said.
Fine, you win this round.
You just had to boop her nose, didn't you?
It wasn't me! Well technically it was, but it wasn't my fault.
Where have I heard that before?
Wasn't the first time with the volcano and the flying sharks?
I don't know, I thought the first time was the thing with the plesiosaur.
I think that were getting a bit off track here. Also both of you are wrong, the first time was ...
In the name of Thought and Sanity, can we please get back on track?
Right, sorry about that.
So what are the plans for Celestia and Luna?
Kill them.
No. Next!
Maybe if we ask them really nicely...
I don't think that will work, but we'll keep that as our backup plan. Alright John, what do you have for us?
Well, I suppose we could try to enter their minds, or entice them to enter the Voidscape so we can converse with them.
Good, good. Now, how do we do that?

Key:Luck Time Death Life
Fluttershy was wandering around Ponyville, slowly making her way back home. She barely noticed what shy was doing, as she was completely lost in thought.
Applejack was confused, she had left the library only a few seconds after Pinkie, yet she was nowhere to be seen. Applejack rolled her eyes, it had been an exercise in futility anyway.fancy mathematics I can tell that one mare plus one mare does not equal a foal! Dang, how am Ah gonna explain this to Granny, Big Mac, and Applebloom? Ah can't just say that Twilight and Ah accedentally magic'd up a baby!'
Celestia was floating in a dark space, shy was concerned, she couldn't sense anything, and her body seemed almost incorporeal. Was she dead? Celestia suppressed the surge of dread she felt. If she was dead who would raise the sun for her little ponies? Would they all waste away from starvation and the cold? Celestia continued drifting, concentrating on her magic. It was still there, and so was her connection to the sun. Celestia was relieved, she wasn't dead, and the sun was still moving. Celestia was very disoriented. "What's going on?" Celestia's conscientiousness started to fade, until she was no longer aware of anything.
Celestia awoke in the Ponyville Library. 'That was quite strange. I wonder what happened?' Celestia jumped at the voice. "Whose there? Identify yourself!" "Celestia, what happened? Where are we?" "Luna! I'm not sure... but something isn't right." Celestia walked over to the Library's front door, and slowly opened it. Outside there was nothing, no sky, no ground, no ponies. Nothing. Celestia turned and walked back to her sister. "Well, well, well, what do we have here?" Celestia and Luna both turned towards the voice to see a familiar figure standing behind them. "Discord, is this YOUR doing?" Celestia and Luna shouted, just as Discord said, "Well, why have you two brought me here?" There was a brief silence, and the three gods all had similar stunned expressions on their faces. Eventually Discord broke the silence. "Soooo, I guess this isn't some sort of way to antagonize me?" "Who are you? What do you want?" A door opened up and in walked , Blooming Orchid, Golden Sands, Lucky Roll, and Midnight Specter. They were carrying Twilight, who was sleeping. Across the room another door opened and four glowing figures entered. Celestia looked closely at these beings, but was greatly confused by what she saw. They were bipedal, with claw-like appendages on the ends of their arms. Then they had eight legs, and blade like arms. Then they were giant beings, made of metal, diamonds, and stone. Then they were alicorns, as regal as the Princesses. Perhaps even more so. The longer Celestia looked, the more she saw. Eventually she had to tear her eyes away from the creatures, unable to stand the constant and rapid shifting. "Why are you telling me this? I'm the 'bad guy,' you know." "We demand to know who you are." "So who are these?" Celestia gestured at the four young ponies siting around the unconscious Twilight. "We must inquire, what interrupted you? Had it anything to do with our encounter with ... that thing?" "So that's where those four came from..." "We implore thou, to halt in your story. Could thou explain what thou meant by 'a Phobia'?" "Doth thou mean to imply that there are more of these kinds of monstrosities?" "Where did they come from? What are they? Will they try to harm my little ponies?" "Dayum." said Discord, after taking a long of chocolate milk. "So, if we don't help you, we lose everything." Discord opened his mouth, probably to say something rude, before he vanished. "Of course we will help. We would do anything to protect our little ponies." The library started to fall apart, and everything inside slowly faded away.
A mad giggling could be heard from the Everyfree forest. Every so often the insane laughter wold stop, and give way to dark mutterings.

So ... now what?
Twilight shuddered as she shook her head. She could have sworn that something very strange had just happened. Looking up to the Princesses, Twilight noted the looks they wore. Celestia seemed ... worried, but at the same time relieved. Luna simply looked pensive. The foals were rolling around playfully.

"Yes, yes, I know. I KNOW! They are so close, yet so faaaaaaaaaaaar. Heheheheheheh. Where, oh where have my little dogs gone? Oh where, oh where will they die?"POUNDING! "sing.
Twilight groaned, no matter what she tried she just couldn't figure out how to get her ... children ... to actively use magic.

"S-s-s-so y-y-y-you, Ah-Ah-AH-CHOO! Sniff You habe doe idea where dey cabe frob?"
Flashback Time!
Big Macintosh was trying very hard not to laugh at his sister’s predicament. If not for the fact that he was a naturally quiet pony, he probably would’ve been rolling on the ground by now. He didn’t really understand how two mares could have a foal, and had in fact demanded to know what stallion his sister was with when she told him, but after a confusing explanation Big Macintosh sort of got the gist of it. He understood far better that Granny Smith, at least.
Back to the Present
Twilight stared at Applejack, her jaw slack.
“I seeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee it. I see everything!” A high pitched giggle escaped from the shambling creatures maw.
“Too far. Too far for food. Those. Those food. Delicious memories. Delicious thoughts. Delicious flesh. Dripping flesh. Dripping blood. Bloody bones. Cracked bones. Broken bones. Broken marrow. Tasty marrow.”
He looked at the screen, showing his wife, and grinned. It had been months since the last time they spoke. “How are you doing?” His wife grinned back at him. “We’re doing fine. ☼♠•◘○♦◙ won the talent competition at school. She did the juggling trick that you showed her. She’s been working so hard on it.” He laughed, “I’m glad that she’s enjoying it.” A small, sleepy voice came from somewhere on his wife’s end. “Mama? Is that daddy?” “Yes ☼♠•◘○♦◙, it’s daddy.” “Mama, when’s Daddy coming home?”
The creature shook its head, trying to force away the memories. But it still couldn’t stop itself from mouthing the words along with the pegasus, even having the same expression, of hidden pain, across its face.

Twilight paced around the library, trying to remember if she had forgotten anything. She had emptied a room, and had began to turn it into a bedroom for the four foals. She had also sent Spike out with a big bag of bits and a long list of things to buy. She only had one spare bed, so she needed a few more. Twilight had also picked out a few items she had seen in some of the parenting books she had read. As her eyes passed over the list she had put together, Twilight's mind began to wander. She soon found herself thinking about what Princess Luna had almost said, and what Celestia hadn't wanted her to know.
Fluttershy was walking through Ponyville, heading back towards her cottage. She was accompanied by Blooming Orchid, who was matching her gentle pace. Both of them were very quiet, neither of them had said a word since they had left the library. Every so often, they would glance at each other, then quickly look away. This sort of behavior was common place for Fluttershy, but from what she had seen of Blooming Orchid, it didn't really fit the filly's personality. She couldn't help but wondering if Blooming Orchid was trying to emulate her, or if she just thought they were playing a game.would be going through her mind. More specifically:
Applejack was strolling towards Sweet Apple Acres, followed by Golden Sands. She had been telling him about the Apple families History, and he seemed to be soaking it up like a sponge. Applejack was quite happy about that, because every Apple had to learn the family history. Even Applejack, who had struggled through it, now had every single detail of each story firmly ingrained in her head. It had been pretty bad when Applebloom didn't know about the founding of Ponyville, but after a few weeks of lessons from Granny Smith, she had learned a great deal.
Hop, hop, hop, hop, hop, hop, hop Hop, hop, hop, hop, hop, hop, hop Hop, hop, hop, hop, hop, hop, hop
...
"Oh Lucky, we are just going to have soooooo much fun. I'll have to introduce to the Cakes. Oh! And the rest of my family! My mom, and dad, and my sisters! I know! We can introduce you to them with a PARTY! Wait. I'm. Just. About. To. Be. Brilliant! We can have a party introducing you to everypony! Ooh! Even better, we can have a party to introduce you and you're bro and sisters to everypony!"
Midnight Specter glanced at the paper she held in her hoof. Although it wasn't time for her to go see her mother yet, she had already left the confines of the library. It wasn't that she didn't enjoy her mommy's company, but Midnight knew that she was very busy, and without her brothers and sister around, there wasn't much to do. She glanced around, and after a quick check making sure that there was nopony around, she shoved her hoof forward, then quickly slashed down, opening a small dark space floating in the air. Midnight placed the schedule inside the hole, and closed it back up. After one last glance around, she started to flap her wings, and slowly lifted off the ground. Midnight pictured where she was headed to in her mind. A castle, she could see it, she knew it in its entirety, but she couldn't remember from where. This would confuse or disturb most ponies, but Midnight shrugged it off, and started flying towards her destination. The speed she flew at would have baffled any pegasus in Equestria, as would her complete disregarded for any obstacles. She flew straight to her destination, going through anything in her way, as she emulated her namesake.
The creature took in a deep breath. It had been so long since it had last been like this. Far too long, yet not long enough. It slowly released the breath. The clarity it felt, was not something it was accustomed to. A far cry from the entropy which usually ran rampant in its mind. But the unique strength that was granted by would be useful.
Dawning Glow stood at the podium, in front of the small crowd.another rise of Nightmare Moon ! We must act now, we must strike first! We must-"
The creature felt it's mind meld back into it's physical confines. The plan was in motion, there was nothing which could stop it now. It remembered something, which it had heard, long ago.
Well, what did you all think of that?
Alright, as always let me know any mistakes you find, or any criticism you care to make. Comments are also nice too.

Ch. 13: First Strike
Key:Luck Time Death Life
Pinkie was bouncing around, filled with energy. She and Lucky had just cleared out nearly every party supplier in Ponyville. They had been to Party Planer's Party Plans, Good Time's Celebration Center, and even Social Spree's Warehouse and Emporium of Parties, Events, and Festivities. The large train of party supplies Pinkie was pulling behind her had caused the pair to get looks ranging from confusion, to terror, to compliance. While Pinkie has hopping up to the front door of Sugar Cube Corner, she suddenly thought of something, and abruptly stopped.
"Lucky! I haven't introduced you to the Cakes yet! Oh this will be so exciting! You'll meet them, and they'll meet you, and I'll be like 'This is my son!', and then Mr. Cake will be all 'Oh, good for you Pinkie!', and Mrs. Cake will be like 'So who's the father?', and then I'll say that there is no father! And then they'll be sad because they'll think that he ran away or something, but then Mrs. Cake will remember that she never saw me carrying, and then she'll think that you were actually adopted, and then I'll just giggle, and agree 'cause it would be to hard to explain what really happened and they really should have just read the first twelve chapters, and now let's go!"
Pinkie bounded through the door, and waved frantically at the Cakes, who were, as befits their name, baking cakes. The Cakes both stopped what they were doing to give Pinkie a quick wave in return. They returned to their work, but quickly looked back at the young colt who was sticking closely to Pinkie's side.
"Hi Mr. Cake, Hi Mrs. Cake!"
The Cakes smiled at their extravagant employees energy, and returned the greeting.
"Hello Pinkie, who's this you have with you?"
"This is Lucky Roll, he's my son!" Pinkie said with a wide grin.
The Cake's reactions were instantaneous.
"Oh, Pinkie, that's wonderful!" Mrs. Cake said with a grin almost as wide as Pinkie's.
"That's just great, congratulations." Mr. Cake said, following up on his wife's statement.
"So, do tell Pinkie, who's the lucky stallion?"
Pinkie turned and gave Lucky a subtle wink, as he raised his hoof to his mouth and turned his giggle into a very convincing cough. Pinkie took a deep breath, and gave a smile.
"Well..."
---{A Short Conversation Later}---
"Ah, so he's adopted then." Mrs. Cake said, trying to make at least some sense of Pinkie's antics.
"Sure, let's go with that."
"Well that makes much more sense," Mr. Cake said with a nod, "Babies don't just pop up out of nowhere. Why don't you introduce him to pound and Pumpkin, I'm sure they'd love a new playmate, even if he is a bit older than them."
"Okie, Dokie, Loki. C'mon Lucky!"
---{10 Minutes Later}---
"Lucky? I think that's enough playing for now."
Lucky nodded, and he, along with Pumpkin, walked to the wall, down it back to the floor, and then over to Pinkie. Pound chose to flutter down instead. Pinkie had a slightly crooked grin on her face, and she glanced nervously at Mr. and Mrs Cake. They both had a slightly exasperated look on their face.
"Pumpkin! I thought we told you that you shouldn't use your magic to walk on the ceiling!"
Pumpkin and Pound were both gaping, while Lucky gave a little snicker.
"Well, I'm sure that she just forgot because she was sooooo excited to have a new friend. Well, I hate to run, but Lucky and I are reeeaaaaallly busy! Let's go!"
With that Pinkie grabbed Lucky Roll and Ran out of the Sugar Cube Corner. The Cakes just shrugged, it was just Pinkie being Pinkie.
"But Ah wanna see him NAO!"
Granny Smith chuckled at her granddaughter's pout. The two had been sitting on the porch waiting for Applejack to return home. Applebloom had been very curious as to what had gotten everypony into such a frenzy, so Granny Smith took her out to the front and told her. She had been so excited and had began to ask all sorts of questions about her new nephew. The elderly Apple had answered as many of the questions as she could, but she couldn't even begin to sate Applebloom's inquisitiveness.
'Ah think that AJ can answer these ones.' Granny Smith thought to herself, 'That should be enough to get back at her.' The Apple Matriarch didn't really care that her granddaughter was with another mare, she had long ago accepted such things, but that she hadn't been told about the relationship, hadn't been told that they had been together long enough to have a foal, that was inexcusable. So Granny Smith had put on her 'angry old pony act' and played around with Applejack. The old mare knew that she would have to reveal what she was doing eventually, but for the moment...
"There they are!"
Granny Smith chuckled again at Applebloom's excitment, but that joviality died as she saw her great-grandson. She knew that AJ had said he was golden, but she didn't think that she had actually meant that he looked like gold. 'He look's just like...' Granny smith shook her head. 'T'aint possible, there's no way it could be...' As the colt approached she grew less and less certain. 'It just ain't right. It's gotta be a coincidence. There's no way...' The old mare had a brief flash of memory: Glinting yellow eyes, a deep timbre growl, the slash of wooden claws, and a joyous titter. Granny Smith returned her thoughts to the present as Applejack approached her.
"An this is yer great-granny, Granny Smith. Actually, ya can call 'er Great-Granny Smith." Applejack chuckled heartily, and the colt by her side have a small laugh. The exact same laugh. Aj's laugh turned into a nervous cough.
"Granny, are y'all ok?"
Granny smith took in a deep breath, and put a grin on her face.
"O' course Ah ain't! With you taking so long ta get here, it's been up ta me an Big Macintosh ta set everything up for dinner! An ya still weren't here even when everythin' was ready! Shame on you, makin' an old mare wait ta eat. Now get in both 'f ya, we can talk while we chow."
"Alright Granny." AJ turned to her son, "Ya hear 'er, let's go Golden."
The young colt stuck closely to AJ as they made their way inside. Granny Smith watched them go in, then turned to Applebloom, who was sitting dejectedly on the porch.
"What's wrong, Bloom?"
Applebloom's bottom lip quivered, and her eyes held unshed tears.
"He's already got a cutie mark!"
Granny Smith gave a slight grin and consoled her granddaughter, before ushering her in. Her thoughts then drifted back to Golden Sands.
'They look so similar... Could they be the same..?' Granny smith shook her head. 'No' she thought adamantly, 'It's just a coincidence.'
Focusing back on dinner the elderly mare headed inside, and to the dinning room where the rest of the family had gathered.
Midnight Specter looked up and down the abandoned corridor she found herself in. She had been flying far faster than she realized, and instead of stopping in front of the castle, she ended up somewhere inside. Midnight glanced around, looking for somepony to give her directions, but there weren't any around.
'Wonder where eveypony is...'
She started to flap her winds, gently hovering into the air, and thought. Midnight remembered being lost before, though she wasn't sure how, and she also remembered that to get out of a maze you just had to follow one of the sides. So she drifted to the right side of the hallway and began to trace her hoof along the wall as she flew throughout the castle. Even if this didn't work, she might be able to find another pony this way.
After several minuted of searching Midnight heard the sound of many hoofbeats on the castle's soft carpet. Suddenly a group of dark grey ponies wearing indigo armor burst around a nearby corner. Midnight stopped and stared at the new arrivals, and they flared out their bat-like wings in surprise. After a moment of silence one of the bat-ponies pointed a hoof at Midnight.
"Halt! In the name of the Lunar guard!"
Midnight titled her head to the side in confusion, and continued to hover in place. In the awkward silence that followed several of the lead guard's companions stifled their snickers. After silencing his comrades with a glare, the lead guard turned back to Midnight.
"Now... young filly... what are you doing here?"
"...mother."
The guard looked suspiciously at Midnight. "Why would your mother be here? This area is restricted except for royalty and their respected guards. Who is she?"
"...mother."
The guards gave a laugh, except for the head guard who just shook his head with a sigh.
"I am Sergeant Onyx Heart, of the Lunar Guard. Can you tell me your name?"
"...Midnight."
Onyx gave the members of his squad a grin of triumph, and turned back to Midnight.
"Now Midnight, can you tell us your mother's name?"
"..." Midnight paused for a bit, before giving her answer, "...mother."
Sgt. Heart's eye gave a slight twitch as the rest of his squadmates tried, and failed, to hold in their laughter. After giving himself a moment to calm down and compose himself, Onyx cleared his throat and looked Midnight in the eye.
"Ok then, Midnight. How about you describe your mother, what does she look like?"
Midnight thought about this for several minutes, opening her mouth to speak, then quickly closing it several times. Eventually, she decided on what she was going to say.
"...pony."
Onyx slowly and repeatedly slammed his head into the nearest wall. The rest of his squad were getting a bit nervous, and tried to comfort him. After a moment of consolation, Sgt. Heart took a deep breath, and looked back at Midnight.
"Since you are in a restricted area, and you refuse to properly answer our questions, I'm afraid that we are going to have to detain you, until such a time that your parents step forward to claim you, or they are located and brought here. Do not attempt to run or we will have to use force."
Onyx looked at Midnight, who's body was now shaking, and he winced internally.
'I didn't mean to make her cry.'
But as he stepped forward, Midnight burst out with the laughter she had been trying to contain. She looked at the guards with a superior smirk on her face, and flared her wings. The guard squad was surprised by the filly's hostile actions, but quickly took an offensive stance. Midnight suddenly lunged, using her wings to power herself forward. Onyx Heart reared up, hoping to scare the foal off her course. Midnight picked up speed, and faster than the eye could see, appeared on the other side of the guard squad.
"..tag."
As the guards turned to Midnight, they noticed a single hoof sized dent in each of their sets of armor. They all stared blankly at Midnight as she began to fly away. A moment later they regained their senses.
"Get her!"
Luna looked down from her nightly canvas. It was a time she enjoyed, it was peaceful and quiet, and she could take a moment to reflect and contemplate. Normally this was a tranquil period for her, but tonight Luna was caught up in a whirl of thoughts.
'How will I handle this? How can I handle this? In this world there has never been any others aside from myself, my sister, and Discord. But now these four, these beings of great power, on which all of creation rests. They have gone through far worse than any here could possibly understand, and they will continue to suffer long after they have left us. We are told that we must train and raise them, but we have no idea were to begin. I never imagined having a daughter, it should be impossible, but now she is here, and no matter how she came to be, she is mine. Heh, my daughter, who already far exceeds me in strength, who will eventually be far greater than me, Tia, and Discord combined. What should I do?'
Unfortunately Luna was unable to answer her question, and her time of respite was at an end. She now had to preform her royal duties, and open the Night Court. Luna teleported down to the throne room, which served as the court room while the actual one was being finished. She glanced up at the scribe to her left.
"Prithee, what matters of contention shall We be addressing this evening?"
The scribe gave Luna a slight bow, then looked over her notes.
"Ah, Your Majesty, it seems that tonight's entire court session has been booked by one Dawning Glow."
The Princess raised an eyebrow at that, but put her confusion aside.
"Send him in."
Fluttershy wore a nervous grin as she walked up to the front door of her cottage, her filly trotting just at her side.
"Well... here we are." Fluttershy glanced down to her side, and let out a squeak seeing that Orchid was no longer beside her. 'Oh no! She didn't like it and now she's ran away!' She nearly burst into tears as the thought flitted through her mind. She perked up at the sound of a joyous giggle, coming from behind her cottage. She rushed around to see Orchid laughing and bouncing among her many animal friends.
Fluttershy gave a sigh of relief as she watcher her daughter frolic and play. After a moment she quietly cleared her throat and gave a call. Blooming Orchid looked up, with a big grin on her face, and began to bound over to her mom. She stopped when she noticed that all the animals she had been playing with had followed her. She made a gentle shooing motion and continued. A moment later she turned around again and confronted the animals which were still following her. Orchid gestured emphatically, and the animals slowly returned to what they had been doing before she had arrived.
'Well it looks like shes getting along fine with most of them... I just hope she can get along with Angle.'
"Oh, hello Angel." Fluttershy half-whispered, "I'd like you to meet my... daughter."
Angel's eyes grew huge, and he froze in place, his foot mid tap. Blooming Orchid crept out from under her mom's wing and trotted over to the bunny. After a moments inspection, Orchid slowly raised a hoof and poked Angel in the tummy. Angel jumped back, eliciting a giggle from the filly. Fluttershy held her breath as the two slowly began to circle and examine each other. After several nerve-wracking minutes Angel held out a paw and Orchid held out a hoof. They gave a tentative shake, before Orchid rushed in and scooped Angel into a hug. Fluttershy gave a small smile, before letting out a squeak, as she too was pulled into the hug.
D'awwwwwww.
Aren't you just adorable.
Quit teasing her.
After the three had untangled themselves, Fluttershy began to show Blooming Orchid around her cottage. After a quick tour, Fluttershy showed Orchid her room. I wasn't very big, and filled mostly by the small bed. There was also a cabinet off to the side, and a round window looking out over the backyard. Orchid gave a squee of excitement and bound onto the bod, and snuggled with the covers. After a few moments Orchid was upside down and completely tangled in the sheets. Fluttershy gave a quiet laugh, and went to help her daughter untangle herself.
After Orchid had been freed, and the bed remade. They returned to the kitchen and Fluttershy started to make a salad for dinner. Orchid helped by levitating whatever Fluttershy was reaching for, and in barely anytime at all, they were sitting down for a nice dinner.
Twilight sat on her bed, a series of thick tomes piled around her. The one she was currently reading was the Encyclopaedia Equestria, Volume III, D-E , she had flipped through the pages untill she reached the section she was looking for, DE.
'Altight, now if I just look through all the DE words I definitely find what Princess Luna had meant to say.'
Twilight settled in, and began to read aloud.
"Deaccession: A work of art that... no, Deacon: an appointed member of a chur... no that's not right. How about... Deaerator: A tool which removes gases from a liquid, that's definitely not right. Hmm, what's next?"
Spike groaned, and stuffed his ears with some of the celery that he had been going to put into tonight's dinner. It might be uncomfortable, and have ruined the stalks, but at least it would help the young dragon keep his sanity, among the nattering of the lavender unicorn.
Midnight danced around the guards as they lunged at her. Several other squads had taken notice and had joined in the chase. There were now more than forty guards trying to capture the tiny embodiment of death. Then Midnight felt a small twinge inside her.
'Not good... is bad... help mother.'
Midnight flew furiously, homing in on her mother's location, with more than half the Lunar Guard in tow.

Key:Luck Time Death Life
THIS IS TERRIBLE!
"LUNA, STOP LAUGHING AND HELP ME!"snick as the doorknob was turned. Celestia and Luna looked at the door in alarm and horror. Suddenly Luna felt a strange sensation.snick was heard and Twilight opened the door and walked in, a large number of items floating behind her.
That did not count as a life threatening emergency!
"Um..er..ungh," Celestia mumbled, still disoriented from the ... whatever had just happened. Eventually Celestia straightened out her thoughts, "No Twilight, the were no trouble at all."
Heh, that's another round for me.
The glare of magic filled the room. There were several sharp cracks , and small pops. When the light dissipated Celestia was left standing alone. Quickly glancing at the circle, what she saw, or better yet, who she saw shocked her. Laying in a tangled pile were Princess Luna, Twilight, Applejack, Fluttershy, and Pinkie Pie.
"Well Twilight, it appears that you are their mother." The four foals nodded sagely, while Twilight nearly collapsed from the mental strain of trying to figure out how this happened.KOH, CHUH, KOH, CHUH, Luck," Pinkie said in a far deeper voice than normal, "I am your mother." With that Pinkie threw away the helmet and picked Lucky Roll up and a big hug. Lucky then proceeded to dive into Pinkie's mane, diapering. A few moments later his head popped out of Celestia's mane and he blew a loud raspberry right next to her ear, before sinking back in, and then walking through the door. Everypony just decided it would be far better to accept what had just happened, than to try to make sense of it, at the risk of their own sanity.
Never gonna get a better opportunity than this.
Twilight turned around as the last of her friends left the library. Her eyes went wide at what she say. The four foal's eyes were all radiating. Luna and Celestia turned to face them as well. They spoke as one and Luna recognized three of the voices.
