The six mares had entered the ruins of the old castle Celestia and Luna once called home, each with slightly mixed feelings on what they were doing. Twilight with her friends stood in the once grand hallway, she turned to her fellow elements.

"Okay girls, we need to find this creature as fast as possible and use the elements on him, any ideas?"

Pinkie Pie answered before anyone else could get a word in, "Why don't we lure him out with a-" Applejack quickly planted a hoof over her mouth.

"Pinkie as much as we love your parties, ah don't think this thing really deserves or wants one." Applejack told Pinkie.

"But-but-but everypony loves-" Twilight cut her off this time. "Pinkie this isn't the time for a party right now, does anypony have a proper suggestion?" she asked, a slightly annoyed tone in her voice.

"Well..." Rarity spoke up. "This castle is rather big, and we really don't know where to even begin looking, maybe we should split up for now and properly search the area?" Fluttershy suddenly got a frightened look on her face.
"I..... don't mean t-to question you Rarity, bu-but what if we run into 'him' while were alone?" Twilight nodded.

"That's a good point, but Rarity is also correct, so, instead of completely splitting up, I suggest we go in groups of three." Twilight thought for a second, "Lets see, me, Fluttershy and Applejack will make one group and go down the east corridor." Twilight pointed out the hallway to her right, "Meanwhile Rarity, Rainbow and Pinkie will go to the west instead, this way if we do run into 'him' we wont be alone, and we'll also be able to search a larger part of the castle." With a few nods, the groups split up.

"Hey, what DO we do if we run into that thing anyway?" Rainbow asked, causing Twilight to stop and think for a second.
"Well, we can activate the Elements unless were altogether, so I suppose we might just have to run if we do find 'him' wandering around here while we're split up, in that case, come back here and we'll send out a signal to meet back here."

With the plan formed, the two groups split up down the two hallways, completely unaware that the entire conversation had just been overheard from said 'creature'.

Nova shook his head after ears dropping on the conversation.

"That plan has so many problems with it." He thought to himself, walking into the recently emptied room. "First, if I did see one of those groups, how would they even get away? Second, these 'Elements' of theirs, which must be those decorations they were wearing, need to be together to even work, and since its apparently what they need to use against me, splitting up just makes them useless now." Nova stopped his criticism of these mares plan and looked around the room he found himself in, it was rather large, with parts of the ceiling missing.

Looking around, he saw he was left with four ways to go, back outside, the East and West hallways, and further up, wanting to avoid bumping into the possibly dangerous ponies, he decided to make his way up the stairs to explore the ruined castle, a sense of wanderlust building up inside him with each step he took.

Eventually, he found himself in a rather empty room, and at the middle of the room, stood some sort of alter, Nova quickly made his way over to it.

"Now, I wonder what used to be here." He said to no one, his thoughts starting to come out his mouth. "From what I can tell, this is the only important thing in the room, since its in the middle, but it appears whatever was once here has been taken." He walked over to one of the destroyed windows and looked outside, he appeared to be in some sort of tower, however he spotted something down bellow through on of the destroyed roofs.

"Hmm. if I recall, the names of them were... Rainbow, Rarity and Pinkie." He continued to spy on them, they were looking around the room they were in, poking around, Rarity appeared to be staring at some tapestry, while Pinkie just kept jumping from place to place.
Nova them had a idiotic thought, he brought his hands to his mouth and made a makeshift microphone, and started to wail like a ghost, he wasn't expecting however, for all three ponies to look straight up at him.

"Oh shit, they must have good ears." He thought, as the three of them ran off back the way they entered the room.

"Fuck why did I even do that? Now they know where I am, and are going to get their friends, stupid, stupid, stupid!" Nova shouted, hitting himself on the head as an attempt to bash the stupid from his mind.
"There's no where else else to run, shit, maybe coming up here was also a bad idea." He then heard it, the sounds of hooves coming from the only exit available.

"He really just started wailing like an idiot!" Rainbow laughed out, explaining what had happened to the other three as they rushed up the stairs. The group finally got to the to of the stairs, surprised to see where they had arrived.

"This is where we found the elements." Twilight thought out loud.

"Is it?" a male voice questioned.The girls instantly whipped their heads to the source of the sound, there he was, sitting on the alter that once housed the elements.

"I must say, I never expected to find castle in the middle of a forest, heck I may not have found it if it wasn't for you." Twilight took the time to truly look at the creature, it was taller then them, completely hairless apart from the bright orange mane on top his head, his right arm was glowing gold, obvious not normal after looking at his other arm and legs, in fact, Twilight could see through it if see focused her eyes enough.

His face was flat, with a small nose and eyes, it was then twilight saw his eyes, one was a dulled blue, but the other, was gold, pure gold, no other colours were visible in it, overall the creature didn't look frightening, just very different.

"I don't think anyone has ever stared at me with such interest before, I supposed your wonder what I am, or who, shall I tell you?" The creature spoke, hopping off the alter.

"My name is Nova, and I am a human, or maybe now that should be 'was' a human now." He brought his arm up to his face. "This isn't usually a normal thing."

"Why did you attack Canterlot!" Rainbow Yelled, demanding an answer, a question that they all wanted to know. '

"Canterlot? Is that the name of the city I accidentally moved?" Nova responded.

"Yeah right! like anyone could accidentally destroy an entire mountain!" He shrugged in response.

"So you ask me something, then, after giving you an answer, you just say it's wrong? What the hell was the point of asking them you bloody moron." Nova responded.

Twilight shook her head, "It doesn't matter, you have committed crimes against Equestria, and for that you will pay, get ready girls!" The six of them each took their place.

"What? No trial? That seems a bit harsh." Nova said as the six mares seemingly took their place, he was rather surprised when they closed their eyes and started floating above the ground, an aura appearing around them, he watched on in curiosity, surely if he had survived a spear stab and that fall from Canterlot as it was called, he would be fine here as well.

Time slowed down to a crawl, a rainbow suddenly appeared from the group of mares, Nova watched on as it suddenly dived straight for him, and a single thought entered him mind as it drew closer, his eyes widening. "I should have moved."

Time seemed to return to normal as he was enveloped by the rainbow, he could feel it inside him, as if it was trying to wash his very soul away, he fell to the ground, pain racking his mind.
"get it out, get it out, get it out,get it out,Get it out! GET IT OUT!"
Nova chanted and eventually screamed, his mind was starting to go blank, whatever this rainbow was, it was destroying his mind.

"RRRRAAAGGGGGG!" Nova roared out. A dim aura started to surround his body, and ever so slowly, the rainbow was being forced away from his body, his left eye and right arm started to shine a glorious golden glow, his mind seemed to retreat further away from his body.

The girls were suddenly blown out of the air by a suddenly force of power, each hitting the ground with substantial force, after a few seconds, they each stood up, and what they saw frightened them.

The 'human' Nova now floated above the ground he was previously kneeing on, a white aura seemed to fill all the space around him now, his hair had grown to an insane length now, almost touching his legs, his coloured eye had become filled with a deep blue, and the rest of his body was now covered in strange symbols and shapes.

Despite everything that had changed, one thing stood out more than anything else, a single feeling in the very air around her, it felt familiar, an aura she had felt before, yet it was also different.

It was the feeling she felt around the Princesses, theirs, however, was a calming, barely noticeable feeling, yet it always seemed to make itself present, if Twilight had to describe it, it felt Divine.

The aura here was radically different from that one, it filled all the space around her, almost to the point of choking, it wasn't calm, it was like a stormy ocean with the waves crashing up metres above the waters surface, it wasn't benevolent, it was filled with wrath, to Twilight, and all the other mares, they were filled with the feeling they had angered an old, wrathful god, but no matter how the mares felt, one thing was certain, it was the same divine aura that their Princesses gave off.

Author's Note

I really wish I had a pic to show you what Nova looked like, and before anyone thinks it, the hair isn't spiky.
Also I like to think this is the music playing when the last part happened
