In the forest near a once beautiful tower stood five people looking at the sky where a bright suddenly appeared out of nowhere in the tower. For the seen the once beautiful tower blow to smithereens was a total shock but they know why the tower was in such state and known it was necessary.
-Is he going to be okay?- asked one of the people it was a girl with a long yellow hair and white skin. She was dressed in a white sweater with a green jacket that finished at her to ribs also she had green shorts that finished in her knees and her respective brown belt, the most impressing thing were the two holsters for pistols, which were Magnum desert eagle, one was white like the snow, and the other black as the night.
-I don’t think we should worry about him. Look at what he did there- say one of the guys with a messy yellow hair and blue eyes, he was dressed in a long black coat with a yellow t shirt with a lion symbol in the center, his black jeans, and his black shoes, along with his black and yellow cannon in his back.
-Let’s get moving- said another boy with a sky blue hair and deep sapphires’ eyes, he was cover in bruises the only thing left of his clothing his dark blue jeans and his white katana.
-I agree. Let’s go Solo- said the yellow haired girl as she grabbed the hand of the silent guy beside here. He was a big person with a red messy hair with yellow eyes. He was clothed with a black jacket and with his black pants. Solo looked at her and nodded and began walking with the yellow haired girl
-Let’s go Claire- said sky blue haired boy looking at a pink haired girl with a long white jacket with a design of angel’s wing in the back, her black pants and brown boots. The girl with pink hair and purple eyes was looking at the destroyed tower in front of her in deep thought.
“Good Luck” thought Claire as she closed her eyes and put both of her hands in her heart wishing for good fortune to the one causing this feeling of her. She turned her back of the tower and looked at her friends each one of them changed in this journey. For them nothing will be the same but for her it didn’t matter she was happy that she was able to meet them and spent time with them. In a whisper, she said the three little words that her heart wanted to tell him so much but now she can only pray for him. Saying those last words, she began her journey home along with her family waiting and hoping.
Equestria – Canterlot Castle
In one of the towers of Canterlot castle there was a purple haired girl walking in circles, this girl was clothed in a white shirt with a purple skirt and purple sockets. Standing in the door was a green haired boy with a purple jacket with a green shirt and purple pants. A metallic armored hand covered his left hand with claws instead of fingers. He was looking at the girl with exasperation, knowing that she was overreacting
-Twilight, why you are always like this? She is just asking for you- said the boy to the panicked girl looking through her wardrobe.
-Spike, this could be my first mission as an ark mage. You know what that means? - asked Twilight grabbing her Bo beside her bed.
-Mmmm it means that she is asking you to do something? - asked Spike unsure of what to reply to the question she did.
-It means Spike that she is expecting something great for me. Not everyone can become and Arc Mage you know-
-Look I know you are nervous because this is your first mission but if you don’t take things slowly you can’t make good decisions. Just take it easy. Spike said as he turned around and began walking but before he was gone, Twilight listened to his last words.
-Just get your courage and I will wait for you in Mom’s throne room got it- and he was gone
Twilight just smiled to herself knowing that the way Spike talked is his way of showing concern for her. She knows that he is nervous too for her but didn’t show it.
“Thanks Spike” she tough and began walking but she came to halt and looked at her bed, it was there her courage, her dream, everything she worked for.
“I keep my promise so you better keep your promise too.” she said to the doll of a little brown haired boy smiling, with a final smile she began to walk again to the new mission the princess want her to take, she will finish with flying colors and make the princess and him proud.
Everfree Forest
4 days had passed since I entered this forest. I really don´t know where I´m but something tells me that I´m going at the right direction. It was already starting to become dark when I fell the presence of a living thing apart from those wood wolfs tried to eat me, they failed miserably. I began to walk a little faster hoping that someone tells me where I am and how to get out of here. When I reached the place, it was a little hut in a little clearing but some trees where still there that made shade when the sun is up. It looked like a shaman’s place. How do I know well aside from the weird skulls thing gigantic pot and other shaman things?
-Well this place look empty… no one is here- I said as I began to walk again to get out of this forest
-Seems that you are back- said a voice out of nowhere. It’s weird that someone can go undetected by me. Therefore, she must be very strong or tricky.
-Who are you?- I asked as a hooded person began to emerge from the shadows that where om front of me.
-You must relax I’m here just to talk- said the hooded person taking his hood out to reveal a dark skinned woman. This woman was very beautiful her long white and black hair ended in her shoulders and her deep blue eyes where hypnotizing but they showed so much mystery and intellect that intrigued me.
-Who are you In the first place?-
-I go by the name of Zecora- she told as she began to put some flowers that she was holding in her hand into the pot making a big *poof* along with a strange smell.
-You must be the one that destiny doesn’t bind-
-… I don’t know what are you talking about-
-Oh yes I know so the gods in the heavens know what you did- this woman is very suspicious. How did she know about them? Why did she know about me?
-Because nature told me-
-How did you?- I asked surprised that she can read my mind or something like that
-Young one you know so little of the world that surrounds you- she said as she began to mix whatever she had I her pot.
-So are you with them?- I asked direct to the point.
-No- was her only response
-Then how…-
-The world is not only composed by gods little one…- she said as she stopped mixing her potion and looked directly to my eyes. For a short time, I felt her looking into my soul. She was the second person able to do that to me. When she closed her eyes, she moved her hands to a road at my left and said –the place you want to be is there- when she finished talking I looked at the road and smiled but something was not right. I was right. When she finished pointing at the road ahead she looked towards the sky, I have no idea what she is thinking. She will say it she has to or I will have to ask about it. When she finally looked at me I fell that what she was about to tell me will change everything.
-You desire peace but is there any for you?- she told me
-… I just want to go back home-
-Sometimes what we want…-
is not exactly what you need- I finished her sentence and she was not surprised about. What a surprise…
-You are tired?-
-Who wouldn’t?-
When she was about to speak to me again we heard and extremely powerful explosion coming from the forest? Why would someone blow up something in the middle of a forest? Just as I was wondering this, I felt a strange but familiar dark force coming from the explosion.
-It seems you were not the only one who came back.- said Zecora as she began to walk towards her hut.
-Hey wait! What do you mean I’m not the only one?- I asked. I was really wondering how much this woman knows but for now the strange dark force I feel is more important.
-Nigthmare Moon-
-Excuse me?- when I asked that she looked at me like some disappointed teacher who looks at a student who get a C. Seriously what is wrong with this woman?
-Long ago they were two sisters who ruled the land of Equestria fair and square. One controlled the sun while the other controlled the moon. For a long time the peace was blissful but as they say, “everything most come to an end.” The people loved the day but they were afraid of the night. The sister who controlled the moon became jealous of the sister that controlled the sun, because of that the Moon sister let herself be swallowed by darkness and threatened the world in plunging it in an everlasting night. With a heavy heart, the Sun sister fought against her sister and won using the symbols of Equestria. The elements of harmony and banished her to the moon.-
-So you are practically telling me that the one that came at the same time as me is a woman that control the moon?-
-Yes-
-My life couldn’t get any better-
-What will you do young one-
As she said that another explosion happened. I began to get worried about those explosions. Something tells me that I have to go there but if I go I will lose my chance to see her again. As I looked at the road behind me a gave a one little sigh and began walking towards the direction of the explosion.
-Wait there is something I must say- said Zecora as she held my hand. When I looked at her again I saw sadness but why? She must know something I don’t know again. When she let me go of my hand and entered the hut I began to follow her not after I looked at the sky and let a heavy sigh lout of my system. I really don’t know what will happen now. One thing is for certain everything for me is about to change whether I like it or not.
-Please just wait a little longer mom… and you two Twilight- I whispered as I began entering the hut. Only one though is crossing my mind at that moment.
“I will keep my promise to the both of you whatever it takes. I will go home and see the both of you again.”
Festivals
Ponyville
-I can’t believe it- said Twilight as she walked alongside Spike, she was dressed in a white T shirt with a purple waistcoat along with a purple skit alongside with knee-length black shorts and a pair of brown shoes. In her face you can see the sadness and disappointment and the cause of those feelings where that her mentor and idol entrusted her with her first mission that was the supervision of a festival.
-I didn’t see that coming too- said Spike, he was dressed in white open coat with long sleeves one more than the other to hide his mechanic arm and not surprise the people under the coat a black waistcoat was there he has a black long jeans and white boots. –But let’s look at the bright side-
-And what would that be?- asked an angry Twilight
-she told you, that you can make more friends- said Spike now fearing for his life seeing an angry Twilight was not a happy thing.
-Look I only need three friends, I have two in the army and the other…- Twilight fell silent gaining a sad expression on her face and Spike knew they were getting in a sad topic for her so he did the only thing that can help her that his mother told him.
-Hey don’t worry he will be back, just be a little more patient- that make the trick, Twilight’s face got a little bright and brought a little smile to her face.
-Yeah, I know he will never break a promise-
-I know he will not. Like you Twi I have only three friends and I know you don’t like it but at least try for me and the princess- said Spike making Twilight sigh and give him a small smile
-Just this once Spike-
-Great- said Spike looking for someone to interact; he looked around for like 5 minutes until he eyes saw a Pink haired girl coming towards them she was dressed in a white t-shirt with the word “FUN” in it and with very short blue pants that were very appealing in Spike eyes. “Great here comes someone and it looks like we have the same age” he though.
-Hey Twilight- said Spike catching her attention and pointed at the pink haired girl –why don’t you try with that girl- he said as he began walking to the pink haired girl
-All right Il try- she said catching up with Spike that was in front of the pink haired girl
-Now Twilight-
-Yeah, yeah I know- said Twilight as she extended her hand to greet the girl more properly. –Hi, my name is Twilight Sparkle, how are you today?- as Twilight finished the girl looked at Twilight’s hand then ate her eyes and finally screamed –aaaaaaaaahhhhhh!!!!- and she run to an unknown location.
Twilight and Spike looked astonished at the scene that happened before them, just one though crossed them in that moment “what the hell just happened.” A few minutes later they began to walk like nothing had happened.
-That was-
-Yeah-
-Not gonna do that again-
-Come one Twilight don’t give up now-
-Look, let’s just supervise this and go back home-
-Twilight-
-Fine but if anything like that happens again so help me Spike-
-All right let’s go- said Spike as he began to walk taking out the scroll that has the things they have to supervise in order to see that the festivals was in perfect condition.
Twilight just stood there looking how Spike her “brother” was acting all happy because she was going to try to make friends. She knows he is only worried and that’s why she is trying to make friends. “what did I get myself into?” she though as she began to walk towards the direction Spike walked.
After the supervision ended, Twilight and Spike were in the Town Hall where the Princess will make her appearance. Twilight could not shake the frown that she had in her face; while they were supervising, they had met with four “interesting” girls.
Twilight and Spike visited Sweet Apple Acres to check on the catering for the Summer Sun Celebration first. A girl called Applejack cordially greets them and offers her food samples. Twilight wanted to leave, but she grudgingly accepts the girl’s invitation to stay for brunch with a little persuasion of Spike and her hungry stomach. After brunch, Twilight looks at the cloudy sky and remarks that the girl appointed to clear the sky, Rainbow Dash, wasn’t doing a very good job of clearing the sky for the festival. Therefore, when Rainbow Dash appeared she told Twilight that she will clear the sky in "ten seconds flat." and she kept her word also making a mess of Twilights hair. Spike was very impressed by the speed of the girl but he told her he had seen better, that phrase made Rainbow look at the guy incredulously and was ready to fight him if Twilight didn’t get in the way and told Rainbow that they had to leave so they can finish their supervision. Rainbow accepted but without telling Spike that she will show him what really SPEED was. When they were reaching the Town Hall to meet the one making the decorations Twilight lectured Spike about not picking fights with other people but she paused as she saw the expression on Spike face. She knew what that meant and thus kept quiet about the topic of Rainbow Dash. When they reached the Town Hall they meet with a Mage like Twilight doing her magic to make various decoration at the same time when they finally caught her attention the both of them discovered that she was a beautiful woman. Twilight felt a little jealous staring at the body of the woman named Rarity she had so many things that Twilight wanted but like they say life is hard. After Rarity drag Twilight to the Carousel Boutique to fix the mess of her hair they talked about what they were doing and what was left to supervise while Rarity was fixing Twilight’s hair she noticed that Rarity was make subtlest glances towards Spike, that were unnoticed by him. Twilight couldn’t help but chuckle at this display. When they left the boutique, their next destination was to visit a girl named Fluttershy that was in charge of the music, when they reached the place where the girl Fluttershy was practicing they stood there quietly until the music finished. For Twilight, it was a unique way to play music. Fluttershy used birds it was so amazing and mesmerizing that she complimented her bird choir. Fluttershy was scared at first but relaxed when they introduced themselves but still that didn’t suppress her shyness making Spike suffer from mini heart attacks form her “super cuteness” as he quoted. When they were ready to depart to the place that they will be staying Fluttershy offered herself to accompany them in a ways of thanking them of applauding her birds choir. When the three of them reached the Golden Oaks Library or “Treebrary” as Spike like to call it, Twilight couldn’t shake the feeling something was going to happen. She was right when they entered the library Twilight, Spike and Fluttershy were greeted with a surprise party. Pinkie Pie starts talking to Twilight about how she was surprised to see a new pony in town and decided to throw her a party. In the middle of the party Twilight drink a hot sauce and literally set her hair on fire.
She could not believe all this people was crazy, now she can only worry about Nightmare moon because all the signs she had seen so far were true and worst of all she couldn’t study about the element of Harmony that were supposed to defeat Nightmare Moon.
“I hope Spike and I can take care of this” she though as she began to wait for the Mayor to announce the entrance of the princess.
When they were waiting, Pinkie approached them and began to tell how exciting this moment was and how excited she was. As she began to ramble on the Mayor appeared in the stage to greet everyone in the Town Hall.
Ladies and gentlemen, as mayor of Ponyville, it is my great pleasure to announce the beginning of the Summer Sun Celebration! - said the Mayor earning claps and cheers all over the crowd. Twilight know it was a time to celebrate but she can’t shake the feeling something bad was about to happen.
In just a few moments, our town will witness the magic of the sunrise, and celebrate this, the longest day of the year! And now, it is my great honor to introduce to you the ruler of our land, the very woman who gives us the sun and the moon each and every day, the good, the wise, the bringer of harmony to all of Equestria...- everyone was excited. Fluttershy was ready with her birds to play the music.
-Ready?- asked Fluttershy earning a nod from her critters
-Princes Celestia!- said the mayor signaling to Rarity to open the curtains to reveal their ruler. What Twilight and Spike saw was not what they expected but feared. There in the stage stood no one, after the mayor tried to reassure the people Rarity came back with a worried expression in her face, her next words were not pleasant to Twilight
-She is gone- she said earning a gasp and worried expression of all the presents.
-Oh, my beloved subjects. It's been so long since I've seen your precious, little sun-loving faces.- said the woman standing in the stage with a devilish smirk in her face.
-What did you do with our Princess?!- said Dash ready to attack her but was stopped by Applejack graving her from the wrist.
-whoa, there nelly-
-Why, am I not royal enough for you? Don't you know who I am?- said the blue haired woman with a little chuckle.
Before Pinkie could talk she was silenced by the hand of Applejack that was still grabbing Rainbow Dash. Twilight of the people took a step closer to the stage earning a look from the blue haired woman.
-Does my crown no longer count now that I have been imprisoned for a thousand years? Did you not recall the legend? Did you not see the signs?- the woman asked at Twilight.
I did. And I know who you are. You're the God of the Moon – Nightmare Moon!- said Twilight earning the gasp of all the presents.
-Well well well, someone who remembers me. Then you also know why I'm here.-
-You're here to... to…-
-Remember this day, little one, for it was your last. From this moment forth, the night will last forever- said Nightmare Moon laughing causing all the presents to cover in fear.
Out of nowhere Nightmare Moon felt a very strong presence near her, in a flash she got out of the way of a powerful wave that destroyed the stage. Nightmare Moon was truly surprised no one was able to go unnoticed by her, looking everywhere with her eyes she found a man with green spiky hair with his blade unsheathed.
-Sorry but your talk of night eternal doesn´t suit with me- said the green haired boy
-Spike!- said Twilight looking at the green haired boy.
-So your name is Spike, boy-
-What of it?-
-I would love to show you my strength boy really but you see I have other matters to attend- she said creating a magic circle with her hand and pointing it at Spike. -Come to me warriors of the night- the magic circle began to glow with a blue light, Spike prepared himself for the incoming battle. From the magic circle a horde of black soldiers came out. He counted thirty and began to form his strategy.
-Shadow Knights destroy the boy- said Nightmare Moon disappearing in a night blue mist. The shadow soldiers prepared themselves to eliminate their target. When they tried to run towards their target five of them disappeared in a black smoke. The boy that was supposed to in front of them was nowhere in sight.
-What the..? Where did that guy Spike go?- said Applejack looking for him everywhere.
-Yeah where is the dude?- asked Rainbow Dash and in response more black smoke appeared in the middle of the battle. All the people could look in amazement at the scene happening before them. At what it seemed an inhuman speed the green haired boy named Spike was defeating the group of Shadow Knights with ease. Now the only one that left of the knights was the one that seemed to be the captain.
-It seems you are the only one left- said Spike appearing in front of the commander. The commander without notice attacked Spike only to be blocked by his left arm, everyone was perplexed how can a person withstand a cut of a blade with his bare hand?
-How?- asked Rainbow Dash voicing everyone’s though.
-Sorry dude but today was not your day- moving his left arm to have the Captain wide open. Only Rainbow Dash, Applejack, and the other girls heard the phrase that Spike said in a low voice.
-One Flash - he said, only the girls could make what the arte was about. He vanished and in a flash he was beside the shadow captain with his sword extended. The captain con only gasp in horror of what was about to happen when Spike sheathed his sword multiple cuts appeared in the body of the shadow captain obliterating him in seconds.
-It’s over- Spike said as he began to walk towards Twilight. –Are you okay?- he asked in tone that only her know as worry. When he was in his serious he didn’t show any emotion but Twilight could tell.
-Yes- she said as she began to walk towards him
-That’s good-
-There is one problem-
-Yeah, you have any ideas?-
-I have a suspicion but we have to go to the library-
-Okay let’s go- he said as the two of them began to run towards the library unknown to Twilight the other girls that where near the incident where following them.
When Twilight and company reached the library she began to search for the book that could hold all the answers she needed to defeat Nightmare Moon but she didn’t find it anywhere. –where is that book?- she asked frustrated that both her and Spike searched the whole library but didn’t find the book.
-what’s the anme of the book?- a voice suddenly asked. Twilight didn’t pay much attention but responded none the less. –It’s called “Elements of Harmony A Reference Guide”- she responded
-oh if that’s the name then I found it- said the voice.
-Really… wait to who belong that voice?-
-Me Pinkie Pie!- said Pinkie appearing in front of Twilight making her yelp in surprise. –wha…- she was interrupted by Spike telling her that the five girls followed them now Twilight noticed the other four girls beside Spike.
-well thank you and let me see this- she said pointing at the book that pinkie gladly handed her. In a matter of seconds Twilight found what was she looking for.
-Oh. There are six Elements of Harmony, but only five are known: Kindness, Laughter, Generosity, Honesty and Loyalty. The sixth is a complete mystery. It is said, the last known location of the five elements was in the ancient castle of the royal pony sisters. It is located in what is now…- she said looking at the group of people that only have worried expression on their faces.
-The Everfree Forest- all of the girls said in a worried tone.
-Whee! Let’s go- said Pinkie in her cheerfull tone
-Not so fast. Look, I appreciate the offer, but I'd really rather do this with only Spike, we have been training in case situation like this happened- Twilight said trying to talk out the five mares that followed them but they have a look of determination that amazed and scarred Twilight at the same time.
-No can do, sugarcube. We sure ain't lettin' any friend of ours go into that creepy place alone. We're stickin' to you like caramel on a candy apple.- said the one named Applejack earning an approval of all the girls besides her making Twilight sigh and Spike looked amused, with no more discussion the girls and Spike began to run towards the entrance of the Everfree forest.
As they approached the entrance to the forest a lot of magic circles appeared from the ground making a horde of Shadow Knights ready to kill anyone who dares to pass them.
-Oh no. What are we going to do?- asked Twilight
-Stand back Il handle this- said Spike walking in front of all the girls taking out his sword. –Il open a path for the six of you and you will run to the forest so you could get the elements understand?-
-Look Twi, you know a lot of things and you are a very great mage and I know you can do it but you are not alone look behind you. Those five girls are ready to help you out and they don’t know you so well. Give them a chance, please for me?-
-Il try-
-That’s good for me to hear now let the Captain show his stuff-
-Wait. Your name is Spike Dragoneel? - asked Rainbow
-yes that’s right. What of it?- asked Spike in confusion
-Oh my Gosh, Oh my Gosh, Oh my Gosh, I can’t believe the captain of the famous Dragon Knights is here helping us- said Rainbow Dash in joy, one of her famous heroes is in front of here.
-Look could we skip this please we have to go now!!- said Twilight not wanting distractions
-Sorry- said Rainbow looking embarrassed
-Everyone in position- said Spike earning a nod of all the girls, he began to walk in front of all the girls stopping alongside Applejack.
-Your name is Applejack correct? – asked Spike earning a nod from her
-I need you to do me a favor-
-Sure partner what favor-
-Take care of her, she is new in this and get very nervous but I now she will do it but just to be sure take care of her.-
-Partner Il do anything in my power to take care of Twilight you have my word-
-Thank you- said Spike passing Applejack finally standing in front of all them.
All of the girls were ready to run. All they needed was the path that Spike was going to make in any second. With a swing of his sword a great shockwave was directed to the horde of monsters and when in contact a great explosion occurred creating a great opening for all the girls, without a second though all the girls run towards the forest leaving Spike behind to deal with the horde of Shadow knights.
“I know you can do it Twi, Mom, I and he are counting in you. You are a great girl I can’t wait to see what you can do.”
With that though Spike dashed towards his own battle.
Author's Note
I hope I can do a good job with this.
Everfree Forest
One lone figure was running through the forest without stopping with strong look of determination in his eyes but hidden in those eyes where worry for two things: one was the treat that Nightmare Moon was to his family and two was something the shaman Zecora had told him
Flash Back
Inside the hut of Zecora, the both of them were silent, the hooded figure was silent by the news he had received just a seconds ago.
-I said if you continue to live here you will die- said Zecora looking at the face hiding in the those clothes.
-Wh…Why?-
-Because of what you are-
-…-
-I never said I will-
-And why is that?-
-I did those things for a reason and thanks to those powers I have I’m here-
-very well I was hoping that answer- said Zecora walking to the boy, with her hand he revealed the face of the hooded boy, he was a boy in his late teens with silver hair and red eyes that showed the many things that he had done and accomplished but the only thing that Zecora could not found was fear. For her it seems that this boy has discarded his fear no he is not afraid to die.
-I will help you young one- she said smiling. She doesn't remember when was the last time she truly smiled but this boy was hope for her. All she wanted was a good change and she knew that this boy was the one that will bring that change.
-Thanks- said the boy giving her a smile
-take this it will prolong your time, go and defeat Nightmare Moon and come back. I have a lot to teach you- she said giving him a bottle with a liquid of red color.
-Teach me?- the boy asked confused
-Yes, you only know half of what you are and I will teach you what your other half is-
-Thanks Zecora- the boy said opening the door of the hut and began to run towards the forest. Zecora only look in the direction that the boy just run to. “Good Luck Lucio son of Celestia.”
Flash back end
With the thought of his death in mind and a timer in his soul Lucio began to run faster towards the place of the malice was concentrating. After a good part of the way covered Lucio encountered a group of dark entities that had armors in them. “Nothing will stop me” with that in though Lucio run towards the dark beings.
Dodging all the attacks of the Shadow Knights Lucio began his counter attack to and incoming warrior with his sword ready to strike Lucio just used a side step to make a roundhouse kick that sent the shadow night flying, running to another soldier he used a low kick to throw him off balance and then grab his feet to throw him at two other soldiers that where coming at him. Three more soldiers jumped from the shadows to attack Lucio only to be intercepted in the air by Lucio himself, with a deep breath he released a torrent of flames from his mouth burning the three warriors and making a safe landing. He looked at the remaining soldiers that blocked his path he could only count five and decide to end this as quickly as possible.
-you know. I’m tired of this- with that said he punched the ground making a little tremor, the soldiers not knowing what happened decided to attack at full force only to be burned be a torrent of flames that appeared below them. When the torrent of fire disappeared he took along the shadow knights too.
-Don’t mess with my flames- Lucio said, walking towards the burned area where once soldiers were armed shadows. He closed his eyes in the center of the once burned site to feel what it was the residue of hatred, jealousy and fear? "Why a dark entity would have fear in it?" This question left dismayed Lucio for a few seconds until he began to understand everything. Someone was being controlled by his or her feelings and that was something he or she did not want to happen. Whoever that must be, it’s suffering right now.
Out of nowhere the concentration was interrupted by a sharp increase in dark energy, the person named Nightmare Moon is fighting someone but who will be so foolish to fight a goddess who controls the moon and night, practically he or she is at a disadvantage.
Feeling once again the increase in negative energy Lucio ran quickly to the place where it came from energy. Jumping trees, through a turbulent river, past a cliff and bridge he felt the residual energy of Nightmare Moon but also felt another 6 presences.
“So there are people who will stand the Nightmare?” he though feeling the negative energy so close to him. Running a little more he found what was left of a great castle Lucio could not believe the state of this castle it looked like it was destroyed in a battle that was fought there. Knowing what he was waiting for him, he entered in the once magnificent castle.
We had passed every trail until now, the cliff, the horrible trees, the manticore, the hydra, and the worst conditioned bridge. In all that walk I had discovered something that in all my life I wasn't sure that it was really from any other person than Lucio. Those girls showed her honesty, kindness, generosity, the true meaning of smiling and loyalty. She couldn't believe it this girls every time something happened they were there for her even if she didn't wanted it. Part of her didn't want to admit that she needed the help of this six girls but the other part of her was glad that this girls helped her along the way. Now the stood in the very place that their fight will began. The castle of the Two Sisters.
-well this is it girls are you ready? - said Twilight as she tuned herself to look at her now friends.
-Ready as ever twilight- said Rainbow Dash with a smirk in her face
-Yes darling- said Rarity looking with great determination
-I’m afraid but I will gladly help you… if you want that is- said Fluttershy hiding her face behind her mane
-Let’s get ready to party!!- said the happy go looking Pinkie Pie
-We are right beside you sugar cube- said Applejack walking towards Twilight giving her a comforting smile and looked towards the entrance of the castle. –Let’s finish this-
-All right girls let’s go-
Entering the once great castle the girls could not understand or comprehend what happened to let this castle be in this condition. Twilight only knows little of what actually happened in this castle but it doesn't answer all her question. Reaching the throne the saw the very things they were looking for. The elements of harmony but.
-They are stones?- asked Rainbow Dash confused by this as all the girls were
-I don’t understand why the elements of harmony are like this- said Twilight in a worried tone.
-It’s because they had lost all of their power - said a voice resonating everywhere scaring all of the presents.
-Show yourself Nightmare Moon!!- yelled Twilight to the air
-Very well- said the voice followed by a dark mist suddenly appearing in front of them showing them their enemy, the one and only Nightmare Moon. –I’m impressed that you had come this far little ones but I’m afraid you had come for nothing.-
-what do you mean by that!?- asked Rainbow ready for everything.
-It’s clear as water this Elements of Harmony have nothing left in them they are empty of Harmonic power, they are useless in that state-
-That can be- said Rarity with a worried tone and expression
-Oh it’s the truth little one, you can do nothing against me but to be on the safe side- Nightmare Moon saying that with her hand she shot a powerful magic blast towards the elements completely shattering them. Twilight couldn't believe the only way the can stop the Nightmare was gone for good.
-No- said Twilight in defeat
-Hahahahahaha look at your faces, the utter defeat in all of you. - said Nightmare Moon walking very slowly to the center of the rum with a smirk on her face. –Now nothing can stop me from making the night eternal- she said lifting her arms to the air.
-No I won’t accept it- said Twilight look at the ground her hand shaking ever so slightly, her hair covering her eyes and her teeth clenching together. –everything we did was for nothing? No, I won’t accept it- lifting her gaze to show the strong determination that she held towards Nightmare Moon that looked very intrigued by this.
“Those eyes… she is not of royal blood. Could she be someone who has the same blood as him?” Nightmare Moon said as she began to get ready for what was coming. These people well very stubborn she only need to punish them by killing them and she knows where to begin.
-Girls. I will understand if you want to run now but I’m planning to defeat Nightmare Moon here and now- said Twilight not wanting to look at the girls, she was sure that all of them will run but she couldn’t blame them, if they stay they will surely die but to her utter surprise all the girls began to walk and stood I front of her ready for battle. Rainbow with two daggers, Applejack with very hard greaves in her legs and a very pair of glove with “Big” in her left glove and “Buck” in her right, Rarity had her whip ready to strike in the hilt where three diamonds that somehow defined the girl, Fluttershy had her wooden bow aimed at Nightmare Moon, Twilight had skeptical at first because she didn’t saw any arrow or quiver but responding to her fears Fluttershy gathered what appeared to be green mana and transformed it into an arrow and for the end was Pinkie with her gigantic Pink hammer with what appeared to be a hole and the name Pinkie Hammer Cannon” in it. All the girls had the look of determination on her face.
-Sugar cube we will not leave you alone- said Applejack giving her a toothy grin earning a grateful smile form Twilight. “Besides I’m not planning on breaking my promise to Spike”
-That’s right darling we are your friends- Rarity said expressing her feelings
-Yeah and there is no way we are leaving a friend behind if you fight we fight alongside you- said Rainbow
-That’s right Twilight we will never leave you behind- said Fluttershy with a warm smile
-Yeah, and after this we are gonna make a “The Nightmare is defeated party!”- said Pinkie jumping in glee.
-Girls…- Twilight couldn’t believe they only met not so short ago and they are ready to fight alongside her risking their life.
“Normal friends you can find them anywhere but true friends they only appear out of nowhere and make your day in matter of seconds”
“you were right as always Lucio” though Twilight smiling walking to were the girls stood she make her stance and take out her bo staff ready for her fight, no, their fight.
-I see that you had made your choice. Very well then- creating a black mist in her hand she took out what was a double pointed spear from it. –I will personally send you to your nightmares- she said as the girls lunged at her for their battle.
-Wolf cut- with that said Spike jumped to one of the soldiers and punched him to stun him and jumped a little higher with the help of the soldier’s head to descend in an incredible speed cutting him in two act followed by the disappearance of the soldier.
-There is no end to this- Spike says as he began to look at the other soldiers remaining, suddenly he sensed and intense negative energy coming from the forest were Twilight and the other girls went. “Please let them be safe” he though as two others soldiers attack him with their swords. He avoided them with a back step –I don’t have time for this- with that said he inhaled a large amount of air leaving his mouth full of it out of nowhere he exhaled a torrent of green flames that burned a lot of the soldiers, leaving just only a few of them.
-Mother told me to use my draconic heritage in extreme cases and I guess this is good moment- saying this Spike closed his eyes and lunged at the rest of the soldiers.
“I know you, you can’t let Twilight be hurt, please, safe her brother”
“No please we have come this far” Twilight though exhausted for the resent battle they had with Nightmare Moon. All of the girls fought with everything they had but Nightmare was a powerful opponent first was Fluttershy. Nightmare Moon seeing her as the weakest one she shoot a magic blast that caught her off guard and send her flying to the wall leaving her unconscious. The second one was Rarity that with effort tried to block the restless attacks of Nightmare but to no avail with the fourth thrust the shield that rarity made was easily destroyed and with a lot of energy used with one magic blast of Nightmare she was left in the ground. Pinkie was a more difficult challenge with her strange powers to appear out of nowhere Nightmare found difficult to land a direct hit on her but with a little time Nightmare saw the patterns of Pinkie attack and landed a direct hit with her magic leaving the girl in the ground. Applejack and Rainbow were definitely the more challenging ones with their strong stamina and agility they did land hits on the god, Applejack with her kicks and rainbow with her speed and daggers were a match to the god’s ability but Nightmare used the shadows at her advantage, hidden in one of them she quickly defeated Applejack who didn’t saw her coming at her through her own shadow. Rainbow seeing this quickly became enraged that her friends were hurt because of her and with that she began her restless assault but because of her rage she was no match for Nightmare. In the end only Twilight stood in the place looking determinate to beat that woman. Sensing the danger coming from the girl Nightmare quickly fired a powerful magic at Twilight but she deflected it with effort but deflected it none the less.
“Who is this girl with a strong determination and affinity to the arcane magic?” Nightmare though very intrigued by the girls that stood in front of her. With that in though Nightmare Moon charged another powerful magic to shoot at Twilight.
-Young one be gone from my sight- with that Nightmare Moon shoot her magic at Twilight who responded with another powerful magic beam
“It can be… How can she shot a powerful magic like me?” Nightmare Moon was really surprised by the task that this little girl was doing. This girl has potential Nightmare Moon had to admit that but she will not be defeated easily. Using more energy in her magic she incremented the force of her magic finally destroying the magic that Twilight had shot at her.
“Finally”
Smoke was the only thing that Nightmare saw, she waited patiently to finally see the girl Twilight in her knees with a lot of pain. In front of her were the people that wanted to stop here but they were no match for a god and her powers. With a cocky smirk she began to walk towards Twilight when she was in front of them she lifted up her double pointed spear ready to strike.
-You my little one was the most impressive of all I have to admit but it’s over… for you and your friends.-
“Is this the end?” Twilight tough as she began to let her tears fall down. “In the end I accomplished nothing, I’m so sorry Spike… I’m sorry Lu, I will never see you again”
-Farewell- Nightmare Moon said swing her spear down ready to strike. Twilight closed her eyes to not see her end she waited and waited but the strike didn't come. Wondering what happened she looked to were Nightmare Moon was only to be blocked by the figure of a hooded man. The man in front of her was blocking the double pointed spear of Nightmare Moon with his sword a very familiar sword.
“Wait a minute. That is…. Argetlahm!!” surprised Twilight though, she can’t believe the sword that disappeared 2 years ago from the Royal Castle was actually in the hands of someone, the sword that no one could pull out of its rock. Everyone has tried to pull out the sword but to no avail even Spike and her brother tried but the sword didn't move an inch.
-You have changed a lot Twi- said the hooded man still blocking the attack of Nightmare Moon
Twilight was surprised no one aside form Spike and her brother called her that now the only one who call her that is…
-Yes Twi, I’m Lucio, I’m back sorry to keep you waiting- said the hooded man
Twilight could only stood there looking at the hooded man that voice she didn't recognize it, but something was telling her it was him, her friend form a long time ago her very first friend, the one that she though was forever lost was standing right in front of her protecting her from harm.
“You did promise it didn't you?” she said now full of tears
-Sorry I’m late but you don’t have to worry about that anymore- said the hooded man pushing back Nightmare Moon with ease. –I did promise didn't I?- he said taking off his hood to reveal a very handsome young man in Twilight eyes his silver hair finished at the end of his neck and those amazing red eyes that express burning determination.
“He didn't change” she though
Looking at Twilight, Lucio offered his hand for her to stand up quickly she grabbed his hand and stood up. Looking into his eyes she could feel something there, she didn't quite grasp what it was but something tell her that the Lucio in front of her is very powerful.
-Are you saying you are giving up now?-
-I…-
-Don’t lose hope Twi there is always a way, I know that you are so smart that you will find a way- Lucio said earning a smile form Twilight.
-What will you do?-
-I will give you some time to gather your friends and the elements-
-But that means- Twilight said looking worried at Lucio
-Hey, don’t worry I will handle this- Lucio said now looking at Nightmare Moon that stood there were she landed when Lucio pushed her back. She didn't’ move an inch, she looked like she was inspecting Lucio.
-All right… Be careful, please… I don’t want to lose you again- with that said Twilight ran to her friends will Lucio readied his sword and looked at Nightmare Moon.
-Boy who are you?- she asked
-No one of importance, just someone protecting his family- and with that Lucio lunged at Nightmare Moon
