//-------------------------------------------------------// The War of Equestria -by zeldafan511- //-------------------------------------------------------// //-------------------------------------------------------// The Prophecy //-------------------------------------------------------// The Prophecy Princess Luna felt awkward. Something wanted to come out of her, something great. Something she has seen, her nightmares... Her nightmares... What if she told everybody? That chaos will fall? She would be insane! Out of her mind. Luna didn't know what to do. Consult her sister, possibly. The blood was rushing to her face. Mad, mental, was the idea. Longer, this was longer of her things she had done. 5 weeks ago, Shining Armor was revived. She had just received the news. A earlier 3 months ago, Chrysalis had fallen. Thank goodness the military has improvised, Luna thought, unfortunate about everything she said. Guns for military and war uses had been invented. They were machines to kill, but...... the world has improvised. Luna sighed. The prophecy was bouncing in her head, waiting to come out, like a thought that has been imprisoned, for many, many weeks. This would be the dumbest thing she would say.... Yes, talk to her sister, wiser, older, greater, more popular.... The answer was within her, yes, she would do it. Go tell her, she thought. Again, she was better..... But not at controlling the night. But what does that have to do with knowledge? It was indeed preposterous. She could tell the future, but it was pathetic, how they worked. Her pulse quickened. Twilight Sparkle, Luna thought. She knows possibly anything. But the prophecy she had imagined, it had something to do with her, something grave. She didn't know anybody else to consult. Just her sister, who would say she's fine, it's just a bad dream, and Sparkle, who would faint at the sight of the prophecy. Cursing, she went to Princess Celestia's room, into the porch, hanging out of Canterlot. She was there, controlling day. "Sister," Princess Luna began. "I have something important to share with you." She had to act normal, not like its the end of the world, or something related to something. "Oh, bring it on, we have many moments to discuss!" Celestia looked bright. "Speak your wishes." "Well, we need to come inside." "Oh, but just for a few minutes." They walked in, Luna's face half worried, half happy and bright. "So, begin!" Celestia smiled some more. "I have this sort of prophecy. It is grave, and is important to discuss. Something destructive is coming. Something that will split Equestria. I have seen it in my dreams." Luna's horn began glowing black. Then, the spell was cast on the place surrounding them. Muttering ancient words, the land twisted around, went into a curve, like a movie's special effects. Warping someplace different they landed in Princess Luna's dreams.... The land was pitch black and barren. No green plants was located on the surface of the dark ground. It seemed left behind. And behind them was the biggest structure the princesses had ever seen. Canterlot, dark, and abandoned, bore over them, as they stared at the burnt place. Princess Celestia seemed worried. Luna hesitated for a moment and then spoke. "This is -" gulp "- Canterlot, taken over by evil." Princess Celestia stared at it, her jaw on the ground. BOOM! The ground shook, so violently, that the princesses fell, getting small sprains on their knees. "HOLD ON!" Luna screamed, and the ground below them broke, and they slid down the cliff. They were thrown onto the floor. Standing up, Celestia asked, "What is this, why is this happening?" "Evil has returned. Something evil, destructive, and he spreads discord." Celestia looked grim. Luna was silent and then spoke, looking at the dry lake beside them. "He will puppet me..... "As Night Mare." The world twisted, and the princesses were warped over to another world. They landed softly, and stared at what used to be Ponyville, crushed and burnt. 5 buildings were on fire, including a huge tree. Luna and Celestia focused on the tree. Two people were evacuating. "Spike, get out!" the pony said. "Come on - NO! SPIKE!" Celestia stood at the ponies, and found one of them was a dragon. The pony screamed again. "DON'T DIE, NO, NO, PLEASE DON'T DIE! NOOOOOOOO! I'LL KILL MYSELF I HAVE TO!" The pony went in. Screams of pain and suffering deafened Celestia and Luna. "My prophecy states, Spike the Dragon will have a deadly fate; Death." Luna said, and she began to cry, feeling sorry for what she had thought. "AAAAAAAGGGGHHHHH!" the pony cried. "And Twilight Sparkle is risking her life," Celestia added. "NNOOOOOOO!" Twilight yelled. The tree exploded. "RAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH!" Twilight suffered. A shadow came out, and Twilight was d- The world warped again. A tall character was sitting on what seemed to be Celestia's throne. "I have overthrown Celestia. Moon has puppeted me. NOW, I DISCORD, WILL TAKE OVER CANTERLOT!" Discord yelled. "I WANT THE ELEMENTS DEAD! AND IT HAS HAPPENED!" "NO!" Celestia yelled. "I CANNOT DO THIS, I CANNOT SEE ANYMORE, I WILL BE BLINDED BY THIS DARK ABUNDANCE, I WILL BE DEAD-" The world warped for the fourth time. Princess Celestia was then on the floor. "No..." she muttered. "Sister, n-" Luna had no time. As soon as Celestia tried to rise, a puddle of blood appeared, coming from Celestia, bleeding like mad. She jumped like a caught fish. "SISTER!" Luna muttered, her hoofs already soaked in blood. She splashed on the puddle of blood, madly shaking Celestia. "Aggghh.." Celestia muttered. The puddle of blood was now 4 feet, 5, 6, 10 feet long. Splashing, shivering and soaked in blood, Luna used her horn, and they warped to the castle. They were back. The blood was soaking into Princess Celestia. She stood up. "What have you thought..." Celestia began. "Sister, I am so sorry, I am a horrible person, should be hanged..." Luna began swearing about herself. "Stop, stop this all!" Celestia boomed. "We will not make this true. It is just a bad dream." she said calmly. Luna sighed. What had she done? Evil, of course. Maybe she already was Night Mare...... "What do you need, sister?" said Celestia, still calm. Luna stared at her knees, still bruised. "It will..." "What?" "...come true..." Celestia stared at her. "What do you need?" she repeated. "Twilight Sparkle." Luna said madly. "Now." "Of course!" Celestia said. She got up, got a piece of parchement, and wrote. Luna stared at the window. If the prophecy was right...... Then Discord will return. //-------------------------------------------------------// Myster Cave //-------------------------------------------------------// Myster Cave Twilight Sparkle opened Canterlot's doors. She was invited here for a random reason. Spike was following her, books in her hand. Another group of books was being pushed by Twilight, the stack double the height of Spike. Twilight (after 4 minutes of pushing) finally stopped. She bowed, and Spike followed. Princess Celestia was at the throne, Princess Luna next to her. They both smiled, Luna's smile quickly fading. "Welcome. You have not come for a test." Princess Celestia finally said. Twilight frowned. Spike rolled his eyes "You have come for the fate of Equestria, as predicted by my sister." Celestia said. "Death is upon us," "So, what do I have to do?" said Twilight, smiling. "Head into the depths of Myster Cave. But there is more you need to know." Celestia said. Twilight's smile faded away. "Do you remember the battle between Queen Chrysalis? She, through a dead spirit lying in the cave, saw the action. The memory that the spirit caught was found...." Twilight's head seem to explode, her eyes turning backwards, pitch black, she felt the red carpet on her knees.... And then she saw something. A tall character. A dead Queen Chrysalis. The tall creature was standing, staring "Worthless," it said.There was a spell, in the creature's hands... FLASH... Chrysalis was up. "YOU FOOLISH PATRON! YOU HAVE DONE PATHETIC WORK! YOU LITTLE-" The creature was swearing..... "N-no, Ma-M-Master-r, it is n-not wha-wha-what yo-u t-think!" Chrysalis was shaking.... "SHUT UP, I DO NOT WANT TO HEAR ANYTHING ABOUT YOU! I SHALL SEAL YOU AWAY, NOT TO DO EVIL FOR ONE THOUSAND YEARS!" "M-MASTER, N-N-N-O, P-P-PLEASE!" Chrysalis was crying..... "I-I-I will s-s-spy them.... P-please, M-Master.... gi-give m-me on-on-one mor-re chan-chance." spoke Chrysalis. "Foolish. But spy them, do as you please. Death is upon us all. Death, fear, blood, destruction, discord for the world. They will meet all that. "Including me. Di-s-di - - - " The world warped, and Twilight returned to the castle. "The 'master' Chrysalis was talking about," Celestia said, surprising Twilight. "Was, well, Discord. He is restoring his power, to send destruction, and to take over all of Equestria." Twilight gulped. "But-t I killed him!" studdered Twilight. "How can i-it can be happening?" "I do not know. Now, go." Celestia said. "I will tend your books. GO!" Twilight and Spike ran out the doors. "Wait!" Twilight called. Spike immediately stopped. Twilight opened the doors. Princess Luna was gone....... "P-Princess? I-is this necessary?" "YES, GO! WHERE-" Twilight closed the doors, and along with Spike hurried out the castle to the cave. They quickly reached the cave. "So, where do we begin?" Spike slowly asked. "Inside, of course!" Twilight said, with a "this-is-a-waste-of-time-Spike" voice. The cave was still the same. Nothing had changed, just that a few rocks had fallen. CRACK. "Move quickly," Twilight whispered. They walked with no light, until it was completely black, and the light from the opening was gone. Twilight's horn grew white, and they were surrounded by light, bordered by darkness. They soon reached the circular place where they battled Queen Chrysalis. The fire was out. Twilight searched for something like a secret passage. "Light the lantern," Twilight whispered to Spike, getting the abandoned matches on the floor. Searching the fireplace, Twilight was pressing the bricks on it. "No - no - no, no, that's dumb - no - not at all - am I mental or have I failed? - No - YES! The brick was some kind of button. It then began heading inside, and the bricks twisted out. The blue flames were lit, and water gushed from the top, spraying water onto Spike and Twilight. A light was seen from above, and then was seen to be a torch. Then, there was a tunnel, going down. Spike walked forward. "Should - eh, I go first - I mean, fall in the hole?" he asked. "Maybe...." Twilight responded. "Alright...." Spike jumped down. "AAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHhhhhhhhhhh - h - h - h - h - h...." Spike's screams quickly disappeared. Twilight fell down the hole, particularly squished. The hole widened, and the shape of Spike was eligible. She caught up, and she saw Spike. He had a bloody nose. "Why the-" "Bloody nose?" Spike replied. "Oh, just a forecast of falling rocks." "Falling rocks?" Just then, a rock hit Twilight's back. "OWWWWWW!!" she boomed, as they kept falling. "HOLE--OW-" She knew that she had a huge scar, for she felt blood oozing down her back. Twilight could see the surface - it was rocky. "AHH, WATCH OUT!" Twilight screamed, holding Spike. They landed hard, and Twilight felt another 2 scars on her. Spike's nose was now bleeding violently, his hands and fingers slightly covered in blood. "Ugh, I need a napkin or something..." he muttered slowly. A stone passageway, dark, was up ahead, turning left. They walked slowly towards the passageway, a torch seen every few meters. They walked forward for 2 hours, in silence, until Spike spoke. "Do you think we would stay here for a few more hours? I'm hungry for jewels." "I dunno," Twilight answered, now bags in her eyes. They saw a huge light after 3 more hours, now the both of them seeming like dead insomniacs. "Whavh dohv youhv tkinsh is tuaht?" Spike mumbled, not making any sense at all. "Wha?" "What do you think is that?" Spike said again, now eligible. "Maybe some kind of checkpoint....." After many, many, many minutes of walking, they reached the light, and just as Twilight predicted, it was a check point. There was a sign, saying: If you have survived this, you are amazing. Death awaits you - DO N - ~ There was a scribble and nothing more could be known. "What does it mean, by 'Death awaits you?'" Spike asked. "And that 'D', 'O', and the 'N'?" "I don't know...." They walked forward, and then after a few minutes, they reached a rope, tied in a circle. "A trap, move slowly around." Twilight said. They walked around slowly, and then - "AAAGHHHH!" Spike was trapped, and next second, Twilight. "AAGGHHHH!" they both screamed. "SPIKE, USE YOUR-" Soon, knifes were sent all over the place, missing them by a millimeter, and it cut the rope. Twilight escaped before a knife hit her by a millimeter. Getting a knife on the floor, she released Spike, screaming, "GET OUT, GO!" Spike runned away, then Twilight followed, hitting the knifes following them now. The torches were out, they were being on the verged on being stabbed, what else could go wrong - ? And they soon saw a huge room, headed to the center of it, and were somehow sucked up the air, flying up, and the knifes were flying up, and how was it happening..... The hole heading up was skinnier by the time they were a mile up. And the tunnel soon widened, and skinned. Like a pattern, they were heading up the skinny and the small tunnel, and reached the surface. There was a huge, decorated hall. Both of them walking towards the hall, looking ancient. There was a huge seat in the front, with fires next to it. On the floor was a dead or unconscious body. And Twilight noticed it. She was gone when she asked Princess Celestia... "Spike! It's Luna!"
