On Cross and Arrow was made by Conner Cogwork, great story if I may add. Now without any more delay, TO WAR. Tirek was not happy, 'how was this mare so powerful.' he thought as he was launched through another mountain. The battle was a losing one for Tirek, he had a backup plan for this possibility but the lord almighty be damned this mare was strong. She left no opportunity for him to make a portal to escape through or throw all the magic away. He knew that it wasn't long before he would be beaten. Then he came up with an idea that was as flawless as the piece of diamond that he flew through a couple seconds ago. He waited instead of getting back up, he had no way of winning this so why not let her win and 'give' back the magic. As she approached, he prepared for his one last attempt for a victory. "Looks like I won this time, Tirek." Twilight said icily. "That is diffidently one way to look at it Princess," Tirek said with venom. "but I still have one last trick up my sleeve." The plan was set into motion as he lunged at the surprised alicorn, grabbed her by her head and poured all the magic, except the little bit he was using to make the portal, into Twilight. As the last bit of magic was transferred he shoved her into the portal, even in his frail state he was strong. "Now it looks like I won, jeez I hope I never see that shade of purple again." He panted with a huge smile as the portal closed. "Ahem." a familiar voice came from behind him. He slowly turned around to the voice desperately hoping that the pony is not who she is, only to see his worst nightmare standing before him. There was not one but a sea of lavender alicorns that looked exactly like the one he just through a portal. "How..." was all he could say. "The mirror pond, what do you think she was doing in the Everfree, clopping?" The sea burst into laughter at the individuals comment. "Now what was that about a certain shade of purple." one of them said as they glared daggers at him. For Tireks ego, he was being chased by roughly 1,000,000 Twilight Sparkle's with all the alicorns magic in them. "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH" but he still screamed like a bitch. "GET HIM" and with that the Lavender Stampede began. All of the remaining Mane Six could only stare, except Pinkie and Rainbow who were rolling around laughing their flanks off, in awe and horror after the enraged bookish alicorns. (Twilight's POV) Twilight was flying down a tunnel that was a pure orange tunnel that was made by Tirek as a last resort. She knew that were ever she ended up with this tunnel, it wasn't going to be pretty. So she channeled her energy and blasted through the wall and jumped through it before it passed. Now she was surrounded by all sorts of lines that probably led to other dimensions, Twilight was curious but also worried for her friends, so she sailed in the opposite direction she was going in. "Oh come on!" Twilight screamed. She had been at for hours now, starting to get annoyed. "Where is my Celestia-Forsaken dimension!" another scream. Okay maybe on the lines of murderous intent. Then something no one would expect, she 'accidentally' touched a dimension. Twilight only noticed this when she was sucked in to into. Before she could blast her way out again, she was surrounded by a bright light. Then a nothing but the ground coming closer to her, and before she knew it, she was on top of somepony. "Ohhh, what hath hit me." said a male voice in the Royal Canterlot voice. "That would be me, sir." She responded groggily. As she stood up she looked around the room she was in. "Why am I in the Castle of the Royal Pony Sisters." She thought out loud, but was quite enough for no one else to hear. "Ugh, you shall pay for your insolence." the pony she was still sitting on said slash yelled. Twilight looked down to see the male version of Nightmare Moon. She quickly hopped of said pony and saw there indeed was a male Nightmare Moon staring right back. "What is this, we was not aware that there was another alicorn, much less a female one at that." said the dark alicorn sounding shocked. "Well who are you supposed to be, a fan-colt for the Stallion of the Moon." Twilight shot back. "We are the one and only Darkhorse Knight, and we will make the night last forever muhahahaha." Darkhorse gloated evily. Then all of a sudden the moon went down and the sun came up, Darkhorse saw the mare just sitting on the balcony looking a little winded. "What hath thou done, we will make you suffer for taking away the night." Darkhorse said both shocked and angry at the same time. "Prince Solaris, did you beat Darkhorse Knight?" said the Lavender Stallion behind Darkhorse Knight, who was just waking up from being knocked out. "Just go back to sleep mortal, I'll get to you later." said Darkhorse Knight before launching a beam of indigo blue light at Twilight. Twilight countered with an assorted colors beam, that was far more powerful and larger the Darkhorse's. Darkhorse lept out of the way of the incoming projectile, for it to blow up half the wall behind him. "How... just how powerful are you?" Darkhorse asked sounding scared. "Enough." Was all he got from the lavender alicorn. "Dusk, y'all up there?" yelled a very familiar accented voice, though it was male, from the sairs. Something clicked in Twilight's mind as she turned to the unicorn laying next to the elements as he tried to 'activate' them. Only to be thrown back by Darkhorse Knight as he smashed the elements beneath his hooves. "Muhaha, now your precious Elements of Harmony are destroyed, there is nothing you can do to stop me now." Darkhorse momentarily forgetting Twilight. "Miss if you join us, we make you even more powerful than before." Darkhorse offered Twilight. "I just rose the sun, why would I join you." she spat at him before turning her head to the unicorn beside her who was standing next to her with a look of awe as he looked her over "And sir." "Uh, y-yes your majesty." the unicorn said cautiously. "I think your friends could handle this one, if you help them." Twilight said with the best shit-eating grin a pony could have. "What!" was all he got out before she took off, leaving a trail similar to her mane. As Twilight landed on a cloud nearby she watched the scene of how she beat Nightmare Moon unfold. Then the twitches came back. "Okay time to sort out this magic overdose problem." she said as she floated off. The Search for a AlicornThe Search for an Alicorn Dear Dusk Shine, I'm sorry to inform you but I have no idea who that alicorn is, nether does my brother Artemis. Neither of us can pin her location any further than the Everfree. I want you and your new friends to find and attempt to befriend this mare as soon as possible. If you cannot befriend her or she acts hostile, I want you to get as far away from her as possible. Don't act hostile or disrespectful at her until we know exactly what we're dealing with. I wish the best of luck to you and your friends on your search, an await your next letter Sincerely Prince Solaris. Dusk Shine was dumbfounded when neither Prince's could identify the mare was. And even further when they couldn't find her. "Come on, Dusk." Rainbow Blitz said again "Why do we have to find this mare, why can't we just you know wait for her to leave the forest to get food or something." "Because, Blitz, Prince Solaris has tasked us with finding her as soon as possible." Dusk said for the eight time in the past two hours, he was counting "Which means we got to go into the Everfree and find her, and I'm surprised that you don't want to find her Blitz, she was faster than you were by my perspective." "Heh, yeah right, I bet that could circles around her and still win a race." Blitz said cockily. "If y'all don't drown her with your ego first." commented Applejack. "Oh yeah." Rainbow Blitz said challengingly. "Yeah." Applejack said back, not one to back down from a challenge. "Then I bet that I could find and catch this mare before you." Blitz challenged. "Your on." Applejack said. And with that they took off into the depths of the forest, running as fast as the terrain would let them. "Guys, we got catch up to them before they get themselves hurt." Dusk said "Honestly, the stallions are always neck and neck." Elusive said disappointingly. "I hope they'll be alright." Butterscotch said timidly. "They'll be fine Butterscotch, this Applejack and Rainbow Blitz we're talking about." Berry said joyfully. "Well let's catch up to them before they either hurt themselves, or the mare." Dusk said to the rest of the party. And then the rest of the elements took off after their comrade, completely unaware of the sleeping alicorn above them. "Huh, what." Twilight said with a start as she woke up. Twilight has been sleeping the Everfree for one night now, she has been missing her own bed for awhile now, but knew for a fact that it wouldn't be a good idea to do so. So she has been training to control her magic, and doing extremely well at avoiding the royal guard. "Oh, what are they doing out here." Twilight said as she watched them walk away. There was to much magic for Twilight to control, so she transferred the excess into other parts of her body. Thus resulting in a the new make over of Twilight's appearance, her pupils resembled her cutie mark, her fur sparkling, her aurora can increase the magic in others around her, her mane and tail shine as if just washed, she has night vision, and she is completely magic proof to any unwanted magic. "Ah, there's the exhaustion, not that I'm surprised honestly." Twilight said as her Magic Exhaustion finally caught up. "Well, maybe I can find a abandoned house or something somewhere in the-" Twilight was cut off as a growl came from below her. She looked down to see a manticore staring right back, just barely out of paw reach. Twilight took the hint, and took of like a bunny on sugar. The manticore was not giving up the it's food so easily though, and gave chase. Twilight was losing her line of sight extremely fast and she knew it wasn't long before she collapsed, then a thought came to mind. After everything you've been through, and every challenge faced, you were going to let a animal win because your tired. And with that Twilight did a very dangerous thing to do while facing in extreme cases of Magic Exhaustion, she blasted the manticore straight in chest with a magic beam. The manticore was there one second, nothing the next. That's when Twilight reached the end of the forest, she continued walking though. To tired to even listen to the rational part of her brain, and just strolled through town like a alcoholic getting out of a bar. She reached a familiar tree house, didn't even open the door, she just went through the damn thing. "Dusk is that you?" said a female drake, Twilight paid no attention to her as she climbed the stairs and flopped ungracefully onto the bed, falling asleep instantly. "Whoa." was all Barbra could say as she watched a lavender alicorn walk up the stairs, looking like she just went through Tartus and back. "I gotta get Dusk." and with that the drake took off from the library as fast as her little legs would carry her. Meanwhile in the Everfree. "Where the buck is she." was heard by anything with a sense of hearing in the forest. Blitz was not happy, not in the slightness. He was searching for a alicorn, a purple alicorn of extreme power, and he couldn't find a trace of her anywhere. "Where is this mare, how is anyone that good at hiding." he thought out loud. "Blitz, Blitz." Blitz heard Barbra calling somewhere below him. "Huh, oh hey Barbra, whats up." Blitz asked the drake. "That alicorn you guys are looking for is sleeping at the library." Barbra said quickly. "What, really, no wonder why I couldn't find her." Blitz said "Okay you go and watch her, and I will go and get the others." Blitz went off as fast as he could to find the others, only to find them not that far away. "Dusk, that alicorn is at the library, I need to get the others you and Scotch head back." Blitz said as he took off again without even listening to what they said, but he did hear the popping sound of Dusk using teleportation. Blitz found Elusive, Berry and Applejack arguing about something, but he didn't care. All he wanted was to get out of the forest and find out why that mare helped Dusk then took off. "Hey you two, stop fighting and get back to the library pronto." was all he got out before taking off again. Well we'll find out what this mare has to say for herself. Rainbow thought as he flew back towards Ponyville. The Nightmares of a HeroThe Nightmares of a Hero As the Mane Six made their way back to the Tree house, they noticed one thing. The guards out side wore blue armor, had bat-like wings, predatory eyes, and fangs. Artemis was in the Golden Oaks Library, aka Dusk Shines home. Dusk Shine led the group to the entrance, the guards didn't even bat an eyelash at them as they passed. Dusk went upstairs to where he thought the mystery alicorn would be, only to find Prince Artemis being strangled from the tight grasp of the for mentioned alicorn. "Prince Artemis!" they all yelled as they tried their hardest to pull the Prince out of reach of the sleeping mare. When they finally did, Artemis was struggling to breath. And then the guards showed up. "Prince are you alright." one of them said as they ran over to the fallen prince. "Yes, yes, just don't get to close to her." was all he got out before going into a coughing fit "She's having a-" Prince Artemis was cut off buy his guard screaming as she was pulled into a hug by the lavender alicorn. The guard was turned in a teddy bear for the alicorn, and if if the Prince of the Night didn't teleport him away from Lavender ball of snugly death, her insides wouldn't have stood a chance. "Wow, that mare is in a serious of hugs." Rainbow Blitz snickered at the alicorn flop ungracefully around trying to grab whatever could withstand her grip. "As I was saying, she's having a nightmare, and a pretty bad one at that." Prince Artemis told the other ponies in the room. "Then why don't you just go and see what it's about." Dusk Shine asked. "That was what I was trying to do, until she started the Cuddle War." Prince Artemis muttered. "Oh, I can help!" Berry said as he hopped over to the lavender alicorn. He was grabbed and squeezed like a great bug teddy bear, Berry hugged back with all his strength. Berry would never admit this to the others, but he never wanted to let go of the mare, her fur felt that good. Hey you said that you'd keep that a secret, you Berry Swore. Hey it's okay Berry, I feel the same way, and he didn't tell your friends did he? No. See everything's alright, oh we better get back to the story, say hi to Twilight for me. Bye Pinkie, I would but then that would cause to many questions. "Well that's taken care of, now let's find out what the dream is." Artemis said a little dumbfounded at the pink stallion's action. He walked over lowered his horn and open the dream to everyone except the dreamer, which means; two guards, the Mane Six, and Prince Artemis. What they found was not what they expected, nor would they ever want to. They saw Equestria, looking like a war had gone horribly wrong. Then they saw the Alicorn fighting what Prince Artemis recognized as a male version of Teri. They were fighting and it did not look good, for either half. The alicorn was covered in small cuts and bruises, as for 'Teri', he was covered burn marks and cuts. "Give me your magic Princess, and I'll let your friends go." the demon offered to the Princess. "I've told you once and I'll tell you again, Terik." the lavender princess said "You already betrayed Discord, why should I even let you try to tempt me." "Because Princess, you would perish with your friends." Terik said before shooting a beam of light at the Princess. She countered it, immediately over powering it and pushing it back at a alarming rate. Then Terik cut off the connection and ignited the beam causing a huge explosion as everyone was sent flying back. The dream ended their, with everyone but Berry and Artemis confused. "What was that about." Dusk said until he noticed the mare starting to stir. "She waking up." Everyone tensed as the Alicorn opened her eyes. To wall of pink, a bright pink that was a shade or to darker than Pinkie. She reacted how any normal, rational, sentient being would do. She screamed and jumped as far way from the pink fur as possible, ending up on Dusk's balcony surrounded by broken glass. "Wait, no need to run miss." Dusk said before teleporting over to the frightened mare. "You know as well as I do that there is always a reason to run." Twilight stated flatly. "How do you know that." Dusk asked, only to be blasted by a gust of wind as the alicorn took off at speeds that not even Rainbow Blitz could match, he tried. Twilight flew as fast as she could to get away from them but only to look back and see the Prince of the Day right behind her, panting and trying to keep up with the Princess. What when did he get here. Solaris had just arrived at the Golden Oaks Library only to see a streak of dark purple with a pink line zoom off at high speeds. Solaris took no time in putting two and two together, they must have startled her. He took off at speeds that no one should be able to manage without the wingspan like his, but this mare was still faster than him. He had not done this in centuries , so not only was he quickly losing stamina, he was enjoying himself. He had forgotten the joy of flight, and the thrill of the chase. He tired to get closer to her and talk this out but the mare was just that fast, he could hardly keep up with her at these speeds. "Slow down, miss." Solaris tried to negotiate with the alicorn "We only want to talk, and I promise you nothing bad is going to happen." "Please, I just wanna be left alone, I don't want anypony hurt because of me." the alicorn tried to shake Solaris off her tail. "Then lets talk this out and we'll ind a way that you won't hurt anypony, I promise that nothing bad can come of this." Solaris tried to reassure the lavender alicorn. "You promise." the lavender alicorn looked back with an expression that tore Solaris's heart to pieces seeing. "I promise, now slow down we can fly back to the library, and talk okay." Solaris said Instead the alicorn looked around for a moment before going into a swan dive towards the ground,Solaris in suite. Solaris was trying to stop what she was doing, not noticing that the speeds they were going took them around the world three to four times and that they were over Ponyville. The the alicorn slowed to a stop and Solaris flopped onto the ground at the sudden stop. "Solar!" Artemis yelled as he went to aid his brother. "Hey Arty." Solaris said as his brother helped him onto his hooves. Before Twilight could do anything. Ten ponies tried tackling her, failing miserably thou. "Who are you." Dusk said before the princess he, his firends, and four royal guards were shook off from the princess shaking herself like a dog. "Well, I'm Princess Twilight Sparkle, Embodiment of the Element of Magic, Princess of Friendship." Twilight said on a Flutter Shy level. All that were present heard it still, and gave their share of blank stares. Quite a SurpiseQuite a Surprise Twilight was right now holding off thirty to forty Diamond Dogs, and there was alot more heading her way. She blasted the group with a concentrated beam of magic, wiping them from existence, she was tired of these dogs and left no mercy to the hoard trying to get to Ponyville. "Ugh, why do this Celestia forsaken dogs have to attack now." Twilight mumbled so the Mane Six, who were close by, didn't hear her. (1 hour ago) Ten, ten blank stares. All of them directed at a lavender alicorn, who's was pawing at the ground with a hoof. "Wha..." was all Dusk Shine could get out of his head. What does she mean by 'embodiment of Magic', I'm the element of Magic. He thought Yet here this mare shows up and she says that she is the *Embodiment** of Magic, this mare has got to be insane.* "Um, I think you are mistaken, my student, Dusk Shine, is the Element of Magic." Solaris said wearily. "I didn't say anything about the Elements of Harmony, Prince Solaris, I said I was the Embodiment of Magic." Princess Twilight responded casually. "But what does thou mean by 'Embodiment of Magic'?" Prince Artemis asked. "Yeah, I'd like to know as well." Dusk agreed with the prince. "You name it, I've mastered it." Twilight said. "How about raising the moon." Dusk challenged. Princess Twilight looked into the horizon, towards where the moon would rise. Then her horn glowed and a beam of light shot towards the sun, the sun was lowering in sink with Twilights horn. As the sun was being lowered, a second beam shot out towards the horizon, in seconds the moon appeared. Rising to where the sun once was, as the last glimpses of sun disappeared behind the horizon. Dead silence was the only way to describe the atmosphere. All twelve ponies, even Berry Bubble, was staring in awe, horror, confusion, and intrigued looks. But it was interrupted by a howl, a very distinctive howl. Diamond Dogs, thousands of them. Running top speed at Ponyville. Before anyone could react, the Princess of Friendship flew over to the edge of Ponyville, while putting up her brothers' signature shield around the town. She landed just outside the shield facing the horde of greedy mutts. "TURN BACK OR FACE YOUR DEATH." Twilight warned the horde in the Royal Canterlot Voice, she would never kill something without giving a warning first. The horde was slowed by the intensity of The Voice, but otherwise ignored the warning. Twilight shot a concentrated beam magic at the oncoming horde, atomized hundreds in seconds. The dogs took the hint that she was not to be messed with, but did not retreat, instead they went into tactical advance on her. Only to be shot down by multiple beams of highly concentrated magic, leaving nothing in its path. The dogs were still advancing, but much slower than before. Twilight noticed a dog charging her at top speed. A simple blast of magic ended that dog and ten others. She barely managed to move out of the way of another dogs way as it was charging her, and just before she blasted the dog, a pair of orange hooves collided with the side of its head sending flying. Twilight looked at Applejack with a shocked expression. Then she saw the rest of the group, and the closing hole in the force field she put up, behind was two exhausted princes. "We knew you were powerful, but exhausting two princes is insane." Dusk Shine told Twilight. "You guys don't have to, and duck." Twilight warned Dusk as a dog swung its club a his head. Dusk ducked, then saw a beam of attack magic. He looked back to where the Diamond Dog once was, only to find absolutely nothing. "How..." he asked. "Materializer Spell reversed." Twilight answered flatly. "Why?" Dusk asked again as he and Twilight blasted several Diamond Dogs out of the way. "Because if I didn't, then they would not stop until this town is a complete ghost town, and all the former inhabitants their slaves." Twilight answered coldly, banishing the memory of what happened the crusaders when they were captured. "Oh..." Dusk said slowly "But how does killing them stop that, wouldn't that just make the town a target to other Diamond Dog tribes?" "This is the Kluster Tribe, the strongest tribe out of all the Diamond Dog tribes. "What difference does that make?" Dusk asked as he shot another beam into the horde of Diamond Dogs. "If they fall the rest shall follow, therefore those who don't want to fall don't follow." Twilight informed wisely. "Hahaha, so your the ones that are murdering all my minions." said a deep voice from the horde as it separated to see a fat Diamond Dog adorned in several jewel necklaces. "Zuki." Twilight said venomously. "Oh do I know you." Zuki said in confusion. "Most likely not." Twilight said coldly, still remembering the alpha dog Zuki, the bitch that scarred the Cutie Mark Crusaders the point that she had to erase their memory to get them out of comatose. "Well anyway, do you know what I'm wearing, hmm." Zuki said as he admired his jewels. "Anti-magic gems that don't actually work." Twilight said in a monotone. "Oh no these work, had them tested." Zuki said with humor evident in his voice "Now you can surrender or-" Zuki was blasted by Twilight, turning him into absolutely nothing. "Not even a tenth of my power and you lose." She said coldly as she stared at the last gem before she crushed it underneath her hoof. "That... was... AWSOME!" Rainbow Blitz shouted at the top of his lungs, comically shoving back the trees around. "Well if yawl done with that, it's time we get a move on with the rest of the pack." Applejack said while looking over at the remains of the tribe. The tribe looked at each other then back to the remains of their leader. They all nodded before running as fast as they could to the forest. "Yeehaw , now that is what I call a beat down." Applejack hollered brohoofing Rainbow. "Yeah, but I wish the princess didn't um, kill them." Butter Scotch said timidly. "Oh come on, Butter Scotch." Rainbow Blitz hovered over to him. "If she didn't then they would come back with even larger numbers." "Oh, I know, but still." He said as he hid behind his mane. "Its okay sir, but if I hadn't then what would you have me do?" Twilight asked Butter Scotch in a friendly tone as she turned around to look at him. "I don't know... maybe um knock them out." Butter Scotch offered. "Then what, throw them in the forest to be eaten by some wild animal, that doesn't sound very good." Twilight smiled at Butter Scotch, who blushed and hid behind his mane. "Ohhh, Butter Scotch I know what will make you feel better." Berry suddenly materialized next to the shy Pegasus, causing him to squeak and jump away from the bubbly stallion. "Oh you do, what?" Scotch asked after calming himself. "A PARTY!" Berry screamed. "Why not." Twilight said as she lowered the shield and walked into Ponyville, only to once again have a failed attempt of being pinned by four gaurds, they were just hauled off by the mare who on her half didn't even know they were their. "Yippee!" Berry yelled as he jumped into the air. Then the group walked off with the princes and the four guards that were committed to bringing to bring the mare down themselves.
The UnthinkableThe Unthinkable Inspired by 'On Cross and Arrow' and the season 4 finale 'Twilight's Castle' MLP FIM is owned by Hasbro and other company's I only own this idea. On Cross and Arrow was made by Conner Cogwork, great story if I may add. Now without any more delay, TO WAR. Tirek was not happy, 'how was this mare so powerful.' he thought as he was launched through another mountain. The battle was a losing one for Tirek, he had a backup plan for this possibility but the lord almighty be damned this mare was strong. She left no opportunity for him to make a portal to escape through or throw all the magic away. He knew that it wasn't long before he would be beaten. Then he came up with an idea that was as flawless as the piece of diamond that he flew through a couple seconds ago. He waited instead of getting back up, he had no way of winning this so why not let her win and 'give' back the magic. As she approached, he prepared for his one last attempt for a victory. "Looks like I won this time, Tirek." Twilight said icily. "That is diffidently one way to look at it Princess," Tirek said with venom. "but I still have one last trick up my sleeve." The plan was set into motion as he lunged at the surprised alicorn, grabbed her by her head and poured all the magic, except the little bit he was using to make the portal, into Twilight. As the last bit of magic was transferred he shoved her into the portal, even in his frail state he was strong. "Now it looks like I won, jeez I hope I never see that shade of purple again." He panted with a huge smile as the portal closed. "Ahem." a familiar voice came from behind him. He slowly turned around to the voice desperately hoping that the pony is not who she is, only to see his worst nightmare standing before him. There was not one but a sea of lavender alicorns that looked exactly like the one he just through a portal. "How..." was all he could say. "The mirror pond, what do you think she was doing in the Everfree, clopping?" The sea burst into laughter at the individuals comment. "Now what was that about a certain shade of purple." one of them said as they glared daggers at him. For Tireks ego, he was being chased by roughly 1,000,000 Twilight Sparkle's with all the alicorns magic in them. "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH" but he still screamed like a bitch. "GET HIM" and with that the Lavender Stampede began. All of the remaining Mane Six could only stare, except Pinkie and Rainbow who were rolling around laughing their flanks off, in awe and horror after the enraged bookish alicorns. (Twilight's POV) Twilight was flying down a tunnel that was a pure orange tunnel that was made by Tirek as a last resort. She knew that were ever she ended up with this tunnel, it wasn't going to be pretty. So she channeled her energy and blasted through the wall and jumped through it before it passed.

"Why am I in the Castle of the Royal Pony Sisters." She thought out loud, but was quite enough for no one else to hear. "Ugh, you shall pay for your insolence." the pony she was still sitting on said slash yelled. Twilight looked down to see the male version of Nightmare Moon. She quickly hopped of said pony and saw there indeed was a male Nightmare Moon staring right back. "What is this, we was not aware that there was another alicorn, much less a female one at that." said the dark alicorn sounding shocked. "Well who are you supposed to be, a fan-colt for the Stallion of the Moon." Twilight shot back. "We are the one and only Darkhorse Knight, and we will make the night last forever muhahahaha." Darkhorse gloated evily. Then all of a sudden the moon went down and the sun came up, Darkhorse saw the mare just sitting on the balcony looking a little winded. "What hath thou done, we will make you suffer for taking away the night." Darkhorse said both shocked and angry at the same time. "Prince Solaris, did you beat Darkhorse Knight?" said the Lavender Stallion behind Darkhorse Knight, who was just waking up from being knocked out. "Just go back to sleep mortal, I'll get to you later." said Darkhorse Knight before launching a beam of indigo blue light at Twilight. Twilight countered with an assorted colors beam, that was far more powerful and larger the Darkhorse's. Darkhorse lept out of the way of the incoming projectile, for it to blow up half the wall behind him. "How... just how powerful are you?" Darkhorse asked sounding scared. "Enough." Was all he got from the lavender alicorn. "Dusk, y'all up there?" yelled a very familiar accented voice, though it was male, from the sairs. Something clicked in Twilight's mind as she turned to the unicorn laying next to the elements as he tried to 'activate' them. Only to be thrown back by Darkhorse Knight as he smashed the elements beneath his hooves. "Muhaha, now your precious Elements of Harmony are destroyed, there is nothing you can do to stop me now." Darkhorse momentarily forgetting Twilight. "Miss if you join us, we make you even more powerful than before." Darkhorse offered Twilight. "I just rose the sun, why would I join you." she spat at him before turning her head to the unicorn beside her who was standing next to her with a look of awe as he looked her over "And sir." "Uh, y-yes your majesty." the unicorn said cautiously. "I think your friends could handle this one, if you help them." Twilight said with the best shit-eating grin a pony could have. "What!" was all he got out before she took off, leaving a trail similar to her mane. As Twilight landed on a cloud nearby she watched the scene of how she beat Nightmare Moon unfold. Then the twitches came back. "Okay time to sort out this magic overdose problem." she said as she floated off.
The Search for a AlicornThe Search for an Alicorn Dear Dusk Shine, I'm sorry to inform you but I have no idea who that alicorn is, nether does my brother Artemis. Neither of us can pin her location any further than the Everfree. I want you and your new friends to find and attempt to befriend this mare as soon as possible. If you cannot befriend her or she acts hostile, I want you to get as far away from her as possible. Don't act hostile or disrespectful at her until we know exactly what we're dealing with. I wish the best of luck to you and your friends on your search, an await your next letter Sincerely Prince Solaris. Dusk Shine was dumbfounded when neither Prince's could identify the mare was. And even further when they couldn't find her. "Come on, Dusk." Rainbow Blitz said again "Why do we have to find this mare, why can't we just you know wait for her to leave the forest to get food or something." "Because, Blitz, Prince Solaris has tasked us with finding her as soon as possible." Dusk said for the eight time in the past two hours, he was counting "Which means we got to go into the Everfree and find her, and I'm surprised that you don't want to find her Blitz, she was faster than you were by my perspective." "Heh, yeah right, I bet that could circles around her and still win a race." Blitz said cockily. "If y'all don't drown her with your ego first." commented Applejack. "Oh yeah." Rainbow Blitz said challengingly. "Yeah." Applejack said back, not one to back down from a challenge. "Then I bet that I could find and catch this mare before you." Blitz challenged. "Your on." Applejack said. And with that they took off into the depths of the forest, running as fast as the terrain would let them. "Guys, we got catch up to them before they get themselves hurt." Dusk said "Honestly, the stallions are always neck and neck." Elusive said disappointingly. "I hope they'll be alright." Butterscotch said timidly. "They'll be fine Butterscotch, this Applejack and Rainbow Blitz we're talking about." Berry said joyfully. "Well let's catch up to them before they either hurt themselves, or the mare." Dusk said to the rest of the party. And then the rest of the elements took off after their comrade, completely unaware of the sleeping alicorn above them. "Huh, what." Twilight said with a start as she woke up. Twilight has been sleeping the Everfree for one night now, she has been missing her own bed for awhile now, but knew for a fact that it wouldn't be a good idea to do so. So she has been training to control her magic, and doing extremely well at avoiding the royal guard. "Oh, what are they doing out here." Twilight said as she watched them walk away. There was to much magic for Twilight to control, so she transferred the excess into other parts of her body. Thus resulting in a the new make over of Twilight's appearance, her pupils resembled her cutie mark, her fur sparkling, her aurora can increase the magic in others around her, her mane and tail shine as if just washed, she has night vision, and she is completely magic proof to any unwanted magic. "Ah, there's the exhaustion, not that I'm surprised honestly." Twilight said as her Magic Exhaustion finally caught up. "Well, maybe I can find a abandoned house or something somewhere in the-" Twilight was cut off as a growl came from below her. She looked down to see a manticore staring right back, just barely out of paw reach. Twilight took the hint, and took of like a bunny on sugar. The manticore was not giving up the it's food so easily though, and gave chase. Twilight was losing her line of sight extremely fast and she knew it wasn't long before she collapsed, then a thought came to mind. After everything you've been through, and every challenge faced, you were going to let a animal win because your tired. And with that Twilight did a very dangerous thing to do while facing in extreme cases of Magic Exhaustion, she blasted the manticore straight in chest with a magic beam. The manticore was there one second, nothing the next. That's when Twilight reached the end of the forest, she continued walking though. To tired to even listen to the rational part of her brain, and just strolled through town like a alcoholic getting out of a bar. She reached a familiar tree house, didn't even open the door, she just went through the damn thing. "Dusk is that you?" said a female drake, Twilight paid no attention to her as she climbed the stairs and flopped ungracefully onto the bed, falling asleep instantly. "Whoa." was all Barbra could say as she watched a lavender alicorn walk up the stairs, looking like she just went through Tartus and back. "I gotta get Dusk." and with that the drake took off from the library as fast as her little legs would carry her. Meanwhile in the Everfree. "Where the buck is she." was heard by anything with a sense of hearing in the forest. Blitz was not happy, not in the slightness. He was searching for a alicorn, a purple alicorn of extreme power, and he couldn't find a trace of her anywhere. "Where is this mare, how is anyone that good at hiding." he thought out loud. "Blitz, Blitz." Blitz heard Barbra calling somewhere below him. "Huh, oh hey Barbra, whats up." Blitz asked the drake. "That alicorn you guys are looking for is sleeping at the library." Barbra said quickly. "What, really, no wonder why I couldn't find her." Blitz said "Okay you go and watch her, and I will go and get the others." Blitz went off as fast as he could to find the others, only to find them not that far away. "Dusk, that alicorn is at the library, I need to get the others you and Scotch head back." Blitz said as he took off again without even listening to what they said, but he did hear the popping sound of Dusk using teleportation. Blitz found Elusive, Berry and Applejack arguing about something, but he didn't care. All he wanted was to get out of the forest and find out why that mare helped Dusk then took off. "Hey you two, stop fighting and get back to the library pronto." was all he got out before taking off again. Well we'll find out what this mare has to say for herself. Rainbow thought as he flew back towards Ponyville.
The Nightmares of a HeroThe Nightmares of a Hero As the Mane Six made their way back to the Tree house, they noticed one thing. The guards out side wore blue armor, had bat-like wings, predatory eyes, and fangs. Artemis was in the Golden Oaks Library, aka Dusk Shines home. Dusk Shine led the group to the entrance, the guards didn't even bat an eyelash at them as they passed. Dusk went upstairs to where he thought the mystery alicorn would be, only to find Prince Artemis being strangled from the tight grasp of the for mentioned alicorn. "Prince Artemis!" they all yelled as they tried their hardest to pull the Prince out of reach of the sleeping mare. When they finally did, Artemis was struggling to breath. And then the guards showed up. "Prince are you alright." one of them said as they ran over to the fallen prince. "Yes, yes, just don't get to close to her." was all he got out before going into a coughing fit "She's having a-" Prince Artemis was cut off buy his guard screaming as she was pulled into a hug by the lavender alicorn. The guard was turned in a teddy bear for the alicorn, and if if the Prince of the Night didn't teleport him away from Lavender ball of snugly death, her insides wouldn't have stood a chance. "Wow, that mare is in a serious of hugs." Rainbow Blitz snickered at the alicorn flop ungracefully around trying to grab whatever could withstand her grip. "As I was saying, she's having a nightmare, and a pretty bad one at that." Prince Artemis told the other ponies in the room. "Then why don't you just go and see what it's about." Dusk Shine asked. "That was what I was trying to do, until she started the Cuddle War." Prince Artemis muttered. "Oh, I can help!" Berry said as he hopped over to the lavender alicorn. He was grabbed and squeezed like a great bug teddy bear, Berry hugged back with all his strength. Berry would never admit this to the others, but he never wanted to let go of the mare, her fur felt that good. Hey you said that you'd keep that a secret, you Berry Swore. Hey it's okay Berry, I feel the same way, and he didn't tell your friends did he? No. See everything's alright, oh we better get back to the story, say hi to Twilight for me. Bye Pinkie, I would but then that would cause to many questions. "Well that's taken care of, now let's find out what the dream is." Artemis said a little dumbfounded at the pink stallion's action. He walked over lowered his horn and open the dream to everyone except the dreamer, which means; two guards, the Mane Six, and Prince Artemis. What they found was not what they expected, nor would they ever want to. They saw Equestria, looking like a war had gone horribly wrong. Then they saw the Alicorn fighting what Prince Artemis recognized as a male version of Teri. They were fighting and it did not look good, for either half. The alicorn was covered in small cuts and bruises, as for 'Teri', he was covered burn marks and cuts. "Give me your magic Princess, and I'll let your friends go." the demon offered to the Princess. "I've told you once and I'll tell you again, Terik." the lavender princess said "You already betrayed Discord, why should I even let you try to tempt me." "Because Princess, you would perish with your friends." Terik said before shooting a beam of light at the Princess. She countered it, immediately over powering it and pushing it back at a alarming rate. Then Terik cut off the connection and ignited the beam causing a huge explosion as everyone was sent flying back. The dream ended their, with everyone but Berry and Artemis confused. "What was that about." Dusk said until he noticed the mare starting to stir. "She waking up." Everyone tensed as the Alicorn opened her eyes. To wall of pink, a bright pink that was a shade or to darker than Pinkie. She reacted how any normal, rational, sentient being would do. She screamed and jumped as far way from the pink fur as possible, ending up on Dusk's balcony surrounded by broken glass. "Wait, no need to run miss." Dusk said before teleporting over to the frightened mare. "You know as well as I do that there is always a reason to run." Twilight stated flatly. "How do you know that." Dusk asked, only to be blasted by a gust of wind as the alicorn took off at speeds that not even Rainbow Blitz could match, he tried. Twilight flew as fast as she could to get away from them but only to look back and see the Prince of the Day right behind her, panting and trying to keep up with the Princess. What when did he get here. Solaris had just arrived at the Golden Oaks Library only to see a streak of dark purple with a pink line zoom off at high speeds. Solaris took no time in putting two and two together, they must have startled her. He took off at speeds that no one should be able to manage without the wingspan like his, but this mare was still faster than him. He had not done this in centuries , so not only was he quickly losing stamina, he was enjoying himself. He had forgotten the joy of flight, and the thrill of the chase. He tired to get closer to her and talk this out but the mare was just that fast, he could hardly keep up with her at these speeds. "Slow down, miss." Solaris tried to negotiate with the alicorn "We only want to talk, and I promise you nothing bad is going to happen." "Please, I just wanna be left alone, I don't want anypony hurt because of me." the alicorn tried to shake Solaris off her tail. "Then lets talk this out and we'll ind a way that you won't hurt anypony, I promise that nothing bad can come of this." Solaris tried to reassure the lavender alicorn. "You promise." the lavender alicorn looked back with an expression that tore Solaris's heart to pieces seeing. "I promise, now slow down we can fly back to the library, and talk okay." Solaris said Instead the alicorn looked around for a moment before going into a swan dive towards the ground,Solaris in suite. Solaris was trying to stop what she was doing, not noticing that the speeds they were going took them around the world three to four times and that they were over Ponyville. The the alicorn slowed to a stop and Solaris flopped onto the ground at the sudden stop. "Solar!" Artemis yelled as he went to aid his brother. "Hey Arty." Solaris said as his brother helped him onto his hooves. Before Twilight could do anything. Ten ponies tried tackling her, failing miserably thou. "Who are you." Dusk said before the princess he, his firends, and four royal guards were shook off from the princess shaking herself like a dog. "Well, I'm Princess Twilight Sparkle, Embodiment of the Element of Magic, Princess of Friendship." Twilight said on a Flutter Shy level. All that were present heard it still, and gave their share of blank stares.
Quite a SurpiseQuite a Surprise Twilight was right now holding off thirty to forty Diamond Dogs, and there was alot more heading her way. She blasted the group with a concentrated beam of magic, wiping them from existence, she was tired of these dogs and left no mercy to the hoard trying to get to Ponyville. "Ugh, why do this Celestia forsaken dogs have to attack now." Twilight mumbled so the Mane Six, who were close by, didn't hear her. (1 hour ago) Ten, ten blank stares. All of them directed at a lavender alicorn, who's was pawing at the ground with a hoof. "Wha..." was all Dusk Shine could get out of his head. What does she mean by 'embodiment of Magic', I'm the element of Magic. He thought Yet here this mare shows up and she says that she is the *Embodiment** of Magic, this mare has got to be insane.* "Um, I think you are mistaken, my student, Dusk Shine, is the Element of Magic." Solaris said wearily. "I didn't say anything about the Elements of Harmony, Prince Solaris, I said I was the Embodiment of Magic." Princess Twilight responded casually. "But what does thou mean by 'Embodiment of Magic'?" Prince Artemis asked. "Yeah, I'd like to know as well." Dusk agreed with the prince. "You name it, I've mastered it." Twilight said. "How about raising the moon." Dusk challenged. Princess Twilight looked into the horizon, towards where the moon would rise. Then her horn glowed and a beam of light shot towards the sun, the sun was lowering in sink with Twilights horn. As the sun was being lowered, a second beam shot out towards the horizon, in seconds the moon appeared. Rising to where the sun once was, as the last glimpses of sun disappeared behind the horizon. Dead silence was the only way to describe the atmosphere. All twelve ponies, even Berry Bubble, was staring in awe, horror, confusion, and intrigued looks. But it was interrupted by a howl, a very distinctive howl. Diamond Dogs, thousands of them. Running top speed at Ponyville. Before anyone could react, the Princess of Friendship flew over to the edge of Ponyville, while putting up her brothers' signature shield around the town. She landed just outside the shield facing the horde of greedy mutts. "TURN BACK OR FACE YOUR DEATH." Twilight warned the horde in the Royal Canterlot Voice, she would never kill something without giving a warning first. The horde was slowed by the intensity of The Voice, but otherwise ignored the warning. Twilight shot a concentrated beam magic at the oncoming horde, atomized hundreds in seconds. The dogs took the hint that she was not to be messed with, but did not retreat, instead they went into tactical advance on her. Only to be shot down by multiple beams of highly concentrated magic, leaving nothing in its path. The dogs were still advancing, but much slower than before. Twilight noticed a dog charging her at top speed. A simple blast of magic ended that dog and ten others. She barely managed to move out of the way of another dogs way as it was charging her, and just before she blasted the dog, a pair of orange hooves collided with the side of its head sending flying. Twilight looked at Applejack with a shocked expression. Then she saw the rest of the group, and the closing hole in the force field she put up, behind was two exhausted princes. "We knew you were powerful, but exhausting two princes is insane." Dusk Shine told Twilight. "You guys don't have to, and duck." Twilight warned Dusk as a dog swung its club a his head. Dusk ducked, then saw a beam of attack magic. He looked back to where the Diamond Dog once was, only to find absolutely nothing. "How..." he asked. "Materializer Spell reversed." Twilight answered flatly. "Why?" Dusk asked again as he and Twilight blasted several Diamond Dogs out of the way. "Because if I didn't, then they would not stop until this town is a complete ghost town, and all the former inhabitants their slaves." Twilight answered coldly, banishing the memory of what happened the crusaders when they were captured. "Oh..." Dusk said slowly "But how does killing them stop that, wouldn't that just make the town a target to other Diamond Dog tribes?" "This is the Kluster Tribe, the strongest tribe out of all the Diamond Dog tribes. "What difference does that make?" Dusk asked as he shot another beam into the horde of Diamond Dogs. "If they fall the rest shall follow, therefore those who don't want to fall don't follow." Twilight informed wisely. "Hahaha, so your the ones that are murdering all my minions." said a deep voice from the horde as it separated to see a fat Diamond Dog adorned in several jewel necklaces. "Zuki." Twilight said venomously. "Oh do I know you." Zuki said in confusion. "Most likely not." Twilight said coldly, still remembering the alpha dog Zuki, the bitch that scarred the Cutie Mark Crusaders the point that she had to erase their memory to get them out of comatose. "Well anyway, do you know what I'm wearing, hmm." Zuki said as he admired his jewels. "Anti-magic gems that don't actually work." Twilight said in a monotone. "Oh no these work, had them tested." Zuki said with humor evident in his voice "Now you can surrender or-" Zuki was blasted by Twilight, turning him into absolutely nothing. "Not even a tenth of my power and you lose." She said coldly as she stared at the last gem before she crushed it underneath her hoof. "That... was... AWSOME!" Rainbow Blitz shouted at the top of his lungs, comically shoving back the trees around. "Well if yawl done with that, it's time we get a move on with the rest of the pack." Applejack said while looking over at the remains of the tribe. The tribe looked at each other then back to the remains of their leader. They all nodded before running as fast as they could to the forest. "Yeehaw , now that is what I call a beat down." Applejack hollered brohoofing Rainbow. "Yeah, but I wish the princess didn't um, kill them." Butter Scotch said timidly. "Oh come on, Butter Scotch." Rainbow Blitz hovered over to him. "If she didn't then they would come back with even larger numbers." "Oh, I know, but still." He said as he hid behind his mane. "Its okay sir, but if I hadn't then what would you have me do?" Twilight asked Butter Scotch in a friendly tone as she turned around to look at him. "I don't know... maybe um knock them out." Butter Scotch offered. "Then what, throw them in the forest to be eaten by some wild animal, that doesn't sound very good." Twilight smiled at Butter Scotch, who blushed and hid behind his mane. "Ohhh, Butter Scotch I know what will make you feel better." Berry suddenly materialized next to the shy Pegasus, causing him to squeak and jump away from the bubbly stallion. "Oh you do, what?" Scotch asked after calming himself. "A PARTY!" Berry screamed. "Why not." Twilight said as she lowered the shield and walked into Ponyville, only to once again have a failed attempt of being pinned by four gaurds, they were just hauled off by the mare who on her half didn't even know they were their. "Yippee!" Berry yelled as he jumped into the air. Then the group walked off with the princes and the four guards that were committed to bringing to bring the mare down themselves.
