Falling Stars

///Twilight's POV\\

I opened my eyes to find myself stuck in a forest clearing. I got up to my hooves and thought back on the last memories she had. 'I can't believe Star did that. He must have his reasons right? Now who's the other stallion. If he could make Star his minion he was very powerful. I've got to find my friends and together we will get answers from him.'

I thought out my plans after this. I started to focus on my 'Now you see me spell'. After a few minutes I realized my magic wasn't working. I started to panic, but I calmed myself knowing panicking won't help.

I looked over to see something moving in the shadows. I took a tentative step forward and the shadows moved forward into the light. Fallen stood before me in his black cloak. "Why hello, hello. It's nice to see you again," He gave me a smile and I wanted to run towards him.

"Why are you doing this?" I asked him.

"Because I feel like it!" He had a sudden burst of anger. "If this world of yours wasn't here I would never have lived so long to see everything!" He yelled this at me and I heard a sound from behind me. "If you wont mind dying it'd make this take over the world thing so much easier,"

He stepped forward and the sound behind me in the forest more intense. He flicked his wrist and his key sword appeared in his hand. "Return to the darkness!"

I heard metal hit metal. "Not if I can help it!" I looked up to see a boy in black baggy clothes holding up another key shaped weapon.

"SORA!" Another boy came out from behind with silver hair. He summoned his key weapon from a burst of darkness.

"Oh great more outsiders. Get out of my way so I can take over this world!" Fallen jumped backwards and both boys stood in front of me.

"Be careful of him! He's very powerful!" I warned them as best I could and they were off.

Every strike the boys swung he blocked. After a few moments in Fallen pushed them back. "Alright let's make this fair," Fallen snapped his fingers and the world felt off.

"Why can't I move!" The silver haired boy stated a very obvious fact. We all couldn't move.

"Something I learned after fighting my brother in the caves. Let's see how you hold up in turn based battle!" He said this and lunged at the brown haired boy I think his name was Sora. When he ran forward Sora blocked the move efficiently and dealt some counter attack damage.

The silver haired boy ran forward and slashed at Fallen repeatedly and didn't stop till he cut Fallen's chest. "You had the will to break out impressive," Fallen snapped his fingers. The world felt normal. "Now how about I get some help?" He flourished his hand and a portal filled with black monsters appeared.

"I think we found who we're looking for!" It seems that the boys were looking for Fallen.

"Alright well if you all would like to kindly leave go ahead. I've got other fish to fry. Twilight, Celestia's still fine. Take all the time you need you'll never catch up," He said this and a portal appeared behind him. He lifted his hand and walked into it.

He was pushed straight out by a blue blur. "FUCK!!!!!!!" I heard him scream as he flew into the sky and fall down back into the clearing. I heard his back cracking and he stood up. "GOD DAMMIT! Luna you are being a little bitch! Give into your darkness again and I will spare them all!"

Luna flew down and touched the ground. "It seems my champions are finally here," Luna looked over to the two key sword wielders.

"I hate this job more and more every day. Just give in! SHIT!" Fallen ducked as One of the boys threw their weapon and it flashed back in his hand.

"You know four against one is a dick move!" He said this and teleported right from his spot to somewhere else.

"Twilight I'm glad you're safe,"  Luna trotted over to me and the two key sword wielders walked towards us.

"Luna what's going on?" I asked the princess of the night. She turned over to the boys standing awkwardly next to us.

"You both will want to hear this," After they had gotten in closer Luna had started to explain. "A few days after Fallen had died he came back and asked us to keep him being alive a secret for now. We said yes and gave him a secret room in the castle. Three months or so before the wedding was to take place he warned us that a threat was coming to Canterlot. I wish we weren't so stupid to believe him,"

"You couldn't have know what happened to him. You only can blame what made him like this," The boy named Sora said.

"You are right. Apparently he had managed to sneak in that other colt and was planning with Chrysalis to take over Equestria. The other colt stole Chrysalis's magic using the forbidden way of eating a ponies epicenter of magic. He was going to do the same thing to Celestia and I until Fallen talked him out of it," Luna said that little piece of info and it stuck to my mind. "I sent a scroll to one that had deemed our kingdom safe from something called Heartless and hoped he would send us help,"

"And that's where we come in. This person named Fallen had appeared in other worlds causing trouble before coming back here. We were already searching for him and relieved once we knew where he was. We've got to stop him before something worse happens," The boy with silver hair said.

"Alright I have just one question. Why aren't you at all freaked out about talking ponies?" I asked the two boys after remembering that Nick said he still wasn't extremely comfortable with talking ponies in the beginning of being here.

"Well we've been turned into talking lions through the use of magic. I figure we're just used to this thing. My name's, Riku by the way," Riku had said.

"And I'm Sora!" Sora jumped into the middle of the conversation but I didn't mind much, Pinkie does it way to much anyway.

"And my name is Twilight Sparkle. It's nice to meet you," I said this and they gave a short nod. "Luna do you know where we might be able to find my friends and how we are supposed to defeat, Fallen and this mystery colt?" I asked Luna and she looked away for a minute.

"We shall need to find your friends and the elements of harmony," Luna said this and I gave her a quizzical look.

"You said the elements would work again last time, but they were in halves. The moment I had summoned them they were whole. How is this, Luna?" I asked her hoping to get an answer to my question.

"When he!?" Luna cut off and was teleported by strange black magic.

"Welcome to the game. It's time you all learned the rules," The mystery colt stood in front of us. I took a good look at what he was wearing.

He was wearing a weird cloak that had many weapons attached to it. The hood on it had a small triangle down to the beginning of his nose. He had a silver muzzle. The rest of his body was covered by the deep blue cloak.

"The first rule is that you all must learn how to fight in a turn based environment. Now let's teach them," He clapped his hooves and Fallen once again appeared next to him.

Star stepped forward and we all felt the need to move to an exact position and we moved there. "The first thing to know is that when you fight in a turn based battle you have to be able to know when you move. How you know is like a little spark in your mind you just know it's there," The mystery colt stepped forward and Star started to explain.

"How you attack is how you choose, but to be able to attack means you know what button combos do what. Also to do anything in a turn based battle you must think about a button then imagine you're pushing it it's that simple. There are eight buttons you need to know about A,B,X,Y,L,R,Select and Start," Star walked into a place next to the mystery colt.

"Now for example a light attack is A and a heavy attack is B. The X button I talked about controls your items on the battle site. The Y button is for magic. Start opens the menu in the field and select is the run button. L and R allow you to switch between a support type of attacks and magic, or to more of an offensive move set," Star then took an offensive stance."Alright so who's going first?"

Riku looked over to the two enemies and ran forward. Every single attack thrown at them was blocked by Star.

"I thought you were better than that Riku," Star said this and ran towards Riku. He passed him and Riku fell to the ground with his eyes closed.

"RIKU!" Sora yelled at his buddy and I just shot a dirty look to Star.

"He's not dead Sora, just knocked out. If you all faint you're dead though." Star was back in his position.

I took a turn figuring out what magics I have and how the L and R "buttons" work. Sora decided to try and shoot magic a Star. At this point I'd given up on magic actually working. The colt behind Star gave him a tap and the magic hit him.

Star looked out with a little singe on his cloak. "You know these are one of a kind. They are given to every initiate once they pass the assassin's test," The colt behind him just opened a portal and walked next to it.

"I think you got this covered. Just make sure they don't escape," The mystery colt said this and walked off into the dark portal.

Star sighed and looked towards us. He snapped his fingers and Riku stood up. He snapped them twice more and Sora and Riku disappeared.

"They were never meant to get involved, Twilight. It was just supposed to be me and my friends stuck in the elements of harmony. Well I'm getting them out. And I'll kill any who step into my path,"

Star walked away and once he was far enough he lifted his right hand in a wave and disappeared.

I looked around for a minute then cast scan, a spell that I saw in the battle menu, and saw nothing dangerous near me. I collapsed onto the ground to rest. "Why does he always do stupid stuff?"  I saw a silver-blue barrier around me and fell asleep from exhaustion.
