Chapter 1: It's a Brother thing

Chapter 1

The Wario Brothers. Two, devil-like, cousins of the heroic Mario brothers. One was short, stubby, fat, and brawny. The other was tall, skinny, long, and brainy. Wario and Waluigi. They both wore overalls. They were yellow and purple: harmony on the colour index, don't you agree? They did various jobs throughout their life. Many of them involving ruining the plans of the Mario brothers. Others just a get-rich-quick scheme. Wario, the brawn, was always the one to find gold coins throughout the many kingdoms laid under him.. Mostly by punching his way through. Wario has fought countless battles and would do so again to get the riches he now has. Waluigi, the brain, is mostly the moocher. But his intellect makes him a valuable asset to Wario. Although, sometimes, the plans don't always work; it seemed to be the best interest for Wario to let Waluigi live in his floating kingdom.

Yeah, they live in a floating kingdom. Castle, a few houses, and a large garden. All of this provided by Wario's brawn. It's interesting how many years it took. But, they were rich, none-the-less. They have it all. Brews -- from Garlic to Mushroom --, dancers, butlers, jewels, and money to throw around. They'd literally do anything that involved lots of gold. Except work with the infernal Mario brothers. their hatred always riled the two. Sports, racing, partying. It was always a competition.

But, anyways, the two today were quite lucid. They were bored out of their minds! It's been almost five months since the two have received any job orders. Incredibly, today was going to be different. A letter arrived from a far -- very far -- off land to the dynamic pair... And they were going to be.. 'Away'.. for a while...

Location: Wario's Castle -- Throne room -- Day 0

"Excuse me, sirs.." The butler walked into the room, standing a hefty 6 feet tall, speaking to Wario and Waluigi in a monotone voice.

"What is it?" Wario turned, on his spinning chair, speaking in his hefty, low and raspy voice.

It was crested, with diamonds and emeralds, and was glistening in the sunlight of the radiant throne room.

"There is a letter for you two that arrived in the mail this morning. It was labelled 'urgent'. I highly suggest reading it." The butler presented a pink envelope to the pair.

Wario grabbed it with his large hands and Waluigi leaned forward, sitting up on his chair. This was peculiar to the duo. They never received mail that was pink before.

Wario heftily flipped open the envelope and pulled out the, neatly folded, letter. He unfolded it and his eyes started to read. Of course, he handed it to Waluigi, as Waluigi was always better at reading.

"Ahem.." Waluigi started in his lightly high pitched, but low, voice.

"Dear Wario Brothers: It is my informal duty to present an offer that you two just cannot refuse. Our kingdom is going in to turmoil. Our Princess has been captured by an evil menace and has taken her away. Our sun and moon have had trouble rising at the appropriate times; and our weather patterns are changing drastically." Waluigi and Wario looked at each other. boredom crossed their face. But, they wanted to proceed further.

"We, citizens of Equestria, call upon you brave heroes to act distinctively for a offer of 100,000,000 coins..." Waluigi's eyes went wide, and both him, and Wario yelled.

"100,000,000 coins?!?!!?" They jumped up and started dancing, grabbing each others arms, and doing the hoe-down.

After a couple minutes, or seemed like an hour, they stopped and read the letter further.

"..But as you continue this letter, you will feel carried away to a distant land. We need you immediately, and you cannot refuse this offer. We will see you soon." And as Waluigi finished with a queer look on his face.

A small dot of glimmering light appeared above the two. They looked up and stared at it for the countless seconds that was arising.

With this, the light opened up, and it started to vortex around Wario and Waluigi. The obvious response was:

"GAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!" Wario and Waluigi were immediately warped into the vortex. The vortex was made of large, pink, purple and black spirals.

The vortex shot them straight upwards and bent their fabrics of matter. Their entire genetic code was being played with like a cat and a ball of yarn. They were spinning around, and around, and around; yelling insanely.

"WAAAAAAaaaaaAAAaaaah!" Waluigi yelled.

"GAaaaaaAAAAAAAAH!" Wario cried.

As they went deeper into the vortex, they started to see a green dot. The dot started to expand and it looked like a grassy world. As the dot expanded, they started to de-atomize. Their body's atoms started to split and re-morph them: re-arranging their DNA structure.

They finally reached their destination with a massive thud on to the hard, but soft, grassy plain... And a loud yell.

"GAAAAAAAAaaaaaah!" Wario and Waluigi seemed to have a bunch of ponies looking at them; as they continued to yell.

"Uhm.. Are you two Wario and Waluigi?" They turned around and stared at a small -- but what seemed large -- lavender unicorn. Her mane was with a streak of red and purple; and her rump had a sparkle and star mark.

"GAH! A talking unicorn!" Waluigi yelled. He looked to his brother, who was now, looking like a typical -- short and stubby -- yellow earth pony.

"Wario!?" Waluigi yelled. Wario turned and looked at his tall brother. He was a large, skinny, dark purple earth pony.

"Waluigi?!" Wario yelled. They then both yelled and the lavender pony just cringed.

"Please, stop yelling!" The Unicorn smacked them both in the head, and they finally had some sense knocked into them.

"Look, are you Wario and Waluigi?" She questioned them further.

Wario and Waluigi nodded slowly.

"Good. I'm Twilight Sparkle. I sent you that letter." Twilight pointed to the letter that laid sitting on Wario's chest.

"You're the one giving us 100,000,000 coins?" Waluigi asked instinctively.

Twilight nodded.

"As long as you help us: my friends and I. We desperately need your help. We know of what you did to help in the Mushroom Kingdom back in your universe. But now: you two brothers are the only ones able to save Equestria!" Twilight was looking them deep in their eyes.

Mushroom Kingdom? We never saved it.. Better not let her know.. thought Waluigi.

"If you two stand up properly, I can bring you to my friends. We'll explain everything to you two." Twilight held out a hoof to the pair.

"Fine, missy! You got a deal!" Wario slapped his hoof onto hers and shook it as he stood up. For a short, stubby, pony; he still had a kick in him.

Twilight's eyes seemed to swirl from the sheer vibration he sent through her forelimb. She shook her head back and forth and saw Wario and Waluigi standing up.

"All right! Let's go!" Twilight started to lead the duo down the pale-yellow road; starting the duo -- and soon to be the 'octo' -- on their adventure.

Chapter 2: Meeting of the Minds

????? ???'? ????? -- Ponyville -- Day 1

"Okay, girls, these are the Wario brothers!" Twilight smiled and pointed hoof at the queer faced pair.

There was a blue, rainbow coloured mane, pegasus was sitting at the end of a table, along with a pale yellow, pink coloured mane, pegasus sitting at the right side of the table, an orange, blond coloured mane, earth pony sitting at the left side of the table, and a white, purple coloured mane, unicorn sitting at the front right side of the table.

"Those bafoons? Ha.. You can't be serious, Twilight. Look at their.. Hats." Said a white pony. Her purple mane curled around on the back of her neck. Further examination showed that she had a diamond mark on her rump.

"Oi! Who you calling 'bafoons'?" Waluigi stood on his rear hooves, punching the air with his fore hooves.

"Calm down you. Rarity is just.. Rarity, apologize." Twilight stared at 'Rarity'.

"Sorry.." She sighed and rolled her eyes. Waluigi lowered himself to the ground.

"Ooo, hey!" A high pitched noise bounced from outside of the room.

A pink coloured earth pony hopped into the room. She was completely pink and had cyan shaded eyes.

"Who are these two? I've never seen you two before! You must be new! Hi, I'm Pinkie Pie! this is my house! Ooo! You know what this calls for?! A Party! I can grab balloons, streamers, confetti! Oooh! And cake! Tons of cake!" Pinkie Pie jumped up and down with enjoyment, but, Twilight finally stopped her after a minute of it.

"Pinkie, please, sit down. This is important for all of us." Pinkie bounced over to a seat, sitting across from Rarity.

"Okay, girls, these two are here for what we sent in the letter. They're going to help us get our Princess back." Twilight smiled proudly. Wario and Waluigi just stood there, grimacing slightly.

"Why can't we just use the Elements of Harmony?" The blue, rainbow coloured mane, pony yelled.

"Rainbow Dash, you know we can't get past those 'pets' of his. The Elements don't do anything... I've looked through all my books and found nothing on the matter of how the Elements have no effect." Twilight looked down and Rainbow Dash just let out a 'hmph'.

"Well, how exactly are these two going to help us, Twilight?" A quiet voice came from next to Rainbow Dash, the yellow mare spoke up.

"From what Luna has told me, Fluttershy, is that these two were foretold to have the power to stop the pets and Clairvoyance." Twilight looked back at the two. Waluigi and Wario gave their best, fake, smile.

"Oh, c'mon Twi. That's a load of hooey. We can just go and blast away at those monsters without these goons." The orange pony leaned back in her chair, blowing her mane out of her face.

"Can you girls just listen to me? Applejack, we don't have any other choice. We can't risk getting ourselves killed! The last thing I want is your girls' death's on my hooves." Twilight slammed her hooves against the front of the table.

"I think we should listen to Twilight, girls. Remember what she said about Nightmare Moon? We have to listen to her!" Pinkie Pie smiled at the girls, but gave a serious look. Although she seemed crazy to Wario and Waluigi, she did have some logic.

"Please, girls. It's our only choice." Twilight looked at all of them. They looked back.

"I'm in." Rainbow Dash smiled.

"Me two." Applejack said.

"Me three." Rarity piped up, with a grin.

"Me four." Fluttershy said quietly.

"Me five!" Pinkie Pie giggled.

"Then it's settled." Twilight turned and faced the duo.

"Look, I know it's a lot for you two. But I promise, it'll be worth it in the end. You're our only hope." Twilight gave an expression of sorrow.

"Please. Will you accept to help us..?" Twilight asked.

Wario looked up to his brother, Waluigi, and they both nodded to each other.

"YEAH!" They both yelled. The, high and low pitch, voices boomed in the small room.

"Yay! All right, let's go!" The group of eight forwarded out of the room, and house, into Ponyville.

To prepare themselves.

Twilight Sparkle's House -- Library Ground Floor -- Day 2

It was the second day they were here. Wario and Waluigi, of course. They had just woken up from a long sleep. It was very uncomfortable for them. They were used to the very comfortable cotton mattresses of their castle. Unfortunately, not everything can come true, for them.

"All right, Spike, take out the check list!" Twilight called to a small, green and purple scaled dragon. Wario and Waluigi looked at him with a intriguing look: their faces contorted at the sight of 'Spike'.

"Food?"

"Check." Spike called, pulling out parchment and a quill.

"Water?"

"Check."

"Saddle bags?"

"Check."

"Resting equipment?"

"Check."

"Survival kits?"

"Check."

"Maps, books, entertainment tools?"

"Check, check, and check! That's everything." Spike said, as he threw a saddle bag on Twilight's back.

"What about the medical kits?" Twilight asked.

"Oh, right." Spike ran off to the back of the library and came back with a box. It was labelled with a big red cross and the words "Pony Medical Kit. Issue No.6445".

"Check!" Spike yelled. He opened the saddle bag and tossed the kit inside.

"Alright. Are you two ready?" Twilight looked at Wario and Waluigi.

"Ready as we'll ever be!" Wario yelled in his husky voice.

"YEAH!" Waluigi coo'd.

"Great! Let's head out!" Twilight turned and headed out the door. Her friends were all waiting for the three. Looks like it's going to be a group of nine, now that spike has joined the party.

NEW PARTY MEMBER: Spike.

Ha, just kidding. Thought it'd be.. *ahem*.. Back to the story.

"So, where is this place, anyways?" Rainbow Dash asked as the group headed out of Ponyville.

"It's pretty far away. Unfortunately, we can't take a train there.." Twilight's horn started to glow, as her saddle bag opened, and she pulled out her map.

"Let me see that!" Waluigi nabbed it with his hooves, staring at the map. Twilight rolled her eyes.

"You don't have to be rude, you know." Rarity puffed a bit of smoke.

"Meh. It's our nature." Wario gave a light hiss to Rarity.

"Nature? Wonder how your subjects feel." Rarity gave him the stink eye.

"Subjects? Ha! They love us! We're the greatest pair of kings you'll ever see!" Wario laughed deeply and hardily.

"Right.." Rarity rolled her eyes in annoyance.

"Hrm.. Clairvoyance? What the heck kind of name is that?" Waluigi looked at Twilight.

"Clairvoyance is what he calls himself. He's the one who stole our Princess. He predicts everyone's moves. He's probably predicting that we're coming to him right now." As Twilight said this, Fluttershy panicked.

"B-but that means.. He'll easily defeat us!" Fluttershy trembled in her legs.

"No, no, we have the Wario brothers. We'll definitely win." Twilight smiled with pride.

"And then we can party!" Pinkie Pie bounced up and down. Streamers shot out of her saddle bag randomly.

Good old Pinkie.. Twilight though.

"It's going to be a long journey." Applejack looked ahead of them. The road was leading over a large out-crop of mountains. The largest very far in he distance, past Canterlot.

"Yeah.. But we can do this. No matter what, guys." Twilight had confidence in their voice.

As they proceeded down the road, Wario and Waluigi started to converse between themselves.

"Do you really think we can pull off our idiot cousins?" Wario asked Waluigi.

"Yeah, yeah. They won't know. Those coins are as good as ours!" Waluigi was giddy as he spoke.

"Heh. I hope you're right. Which you usually are." Wario smiled cheekily. They clicked forward, catch up, to the group.

Chapter 3: Shadowflash

Ponyville Outskirts -- The Rockies -- Day 2

The group was settling in now. They had a small fire set up in a circlet of rocks. It was blazing gently in the low breeze and their tents were all set up. Rarity's was the most extravagant of them all. Rarity's tent had four large support beams, that looked like it was constructed by Roman architects, and it was finely crested with gild and gems alike.

Getting harder for Luna.. Twilight thought. She was looking up at the moon as it struggled to go to its 45 degree arch.

Wario and Waluigi were fast asleep -- and snoring loudly. It was annoying Rarity the most. She was flipping and folding over and over in her tent, covering her ears with her purple and gold pillow.

"URRRG!" Rarity grunted.

Twilight just giggled. Twilight and Rainbow Dash were the only ones up. Rainbow Dash's eyes felt heavy, though, and she yawned.

"Twilight?" Rainbow Dash looked over at Twilight. Her head was resting on-top of her forehooves.

"Yeah?" Twilight whispered.

"Do you really think we can save Celestia with these two?" Rainbow Dash had a concerned look across her face now.

"Of course I do. It's just a matt--" But as Twilight was going to finish, a noise was heard and it emanated from the small outcrop of bushes behind them.

Rainbow Dash and Twilight quickly, erected their stances and, looked back

"Who's there?" Rainbow Dash flew next to Twilight, yelling in a raspy whisper.

A figure slowly emerged from the bushes. They were prepared for a bear, or some sort of freaky monsters. Instead..

"Hey Rainbow." A grey, black and white mane, pegasus popped out of the bushes.

"Shadowflash?!" Rainbow Dash whispered and lunged forward, wrapping her arms around the pegasus.

"Hehe. I heard you girls were headed this way. Sorry I've been away for so long." Shadowflash gave a smile and his bright green eyes looked into her rose-y coloured eyes.

"Word travels fast, then?" Twilight gave him a lavender glance. Shadowflash nodded.

"Mhm. I thought I'd join. After I met you girls, why wouldn't I want to be involved? Besides, Spitfire will understand." Shadowflash gently nuzzled his mussel against Rainbow Dash's. She smiled and kissed him.

"It's so good to have you here. This will be a lot easier with you around." Rainbow Dash gently brought him over to her tent, and they disappeared inside the tent.

"Nighty night, Twilight!" Rainbow gave a gentle whisper. Her tent gently flopped up and Rainbow latched it shut.

At least she'll feel a bit better. I wonder how Celestia is doing.. I .. Oh Celestia.. If I could send you a letter right now.. I would.. Twilight's thoughts raced and she was being overcome by emotions.

"Spike..?" Twilight gently nudged the sleeping dragon. He prodded his head up a bit.

"Hmmm..?" He lightly fluttered his eyes open.

"May you do me a quick favour..? You can go to sleep after." Twilight gently brushed some of his scaled and floated a quill and parchment to him.

"Yeah.. sure.." Spike let out a yawn and grabbed the quill and parchment.

"Dear Princess Luna..." Twilight whispered. Spike started to write.

Canterlot Royal Castle -- Oculory -- Day 3

Princess Luna was sweating intensely as she pushed the sun slowly upwards for the morning hours. She finally rested as it sat on its 20 degree angle. She would have thirty minutes to rest before she could attempt to raise it again.

"Oh.. Dear.." Princess Luna had a Royal Guard pat her head with a soft, cold and wet, cloth. Cleaning off some sweat.

"You're doing great, my Princess." The guard said to her.

"Hand me the letter I received, please.." With that, the guard immediately handed her the letter. She opened it with the magic of her horn and started to scan.

"Dear Princess Luna: It's Twilight Sparkle. I found the Wario Brothers and we're on our way to save Celestia. I know raising the moon and sun is hard work. But we believe in you. Your sister believes in you. Keep pushing. We'll be to Celestia as quick as possible. We're doing our best. -- Twilight Sparkle." Princess Luna finished and set the letter down.

"Princess?" The guard looked at her. Her eyes were closed.

They believe in me.. They think I can really do it. They think this will help prove myself to my sister. Luna's thought's went boggling in her mind.

I will do it! Luna immediately stood up and readied herself. Although it didn't seem like it, thirty minutes was almost past.

Luna lowered her horn, readying to raise the sun. As the mark hit, her horn glowed in a brilliant deep blue and purple light. It beamed towards the sun and the sun slowly rose. It rose faster than ever before. Even if it wasn't as fast as Celestia could do it, Luna was doing a lot better than before. In just two minutes, the sun was at its 45 degree mark.

"Great job, my Princess!" The Royal Guard bowed to her. Even he was amazed.

I can do this.. Luna thought, with a smile crossing her face.

Ponyville Outskirts -- The Rockies -- Day 3

"It's good to see ya' again, Blitzy!" Applejack patted Shadowflash on the back.

"Good to see you too, AJ. Where are these brothers I've heard about?" Shadowflash smiled at Applejack and looked around the group.

"Right here!" Wario and Waluigi jumped up in the air. It felt like some sort of cartoon for what they did.

They posed right in the air, Wario doing a hindhooves stand with his forehooves at his side and outward; while Waluigi did a air kick. After they landed, Shadowflash couldn't help but laugh.

"Ha. I'm sorry, that's just too funny." Shadowflash smiled at the brothers, holding out a hoof.

"I'm Shadowflash. You are.. Wario and Waluigi, right?" Shadowflash smiled at the two. They both shook his hoof.

"At your service!" Wario laughed lowly.

"Heh.. Hey.. Your cutie marks.. Those are intriguing.." Shadowflash looked at Wario's and Waluigi's 'cutie marks'. Wario's was a gold coin. Waluigi's was a winged-spiked blue turtle shell.

"Gold coin? Turtle shell? What exactly are your talents?" Shadowflash looked at the two with a bright green stare.

"Uhm.... What's a cutie mark?" Wario scratched his forehead with his hoof.

"Right. You're not from here. A cutie mark represents your special talent. Mine is a stormcloud with lightning. Which shows my speed and durability during weather. And I'm great at Sonic FlashBlitz's." Shadowflash smiled, but looked at them again.

"So, what are yours?" He gave an inquiring look.

"Maybe mine is for how good I am at finding gold?" Wario laughed at this. It was true. He found gold anywhere. Literally.

"And mine could be shown for .. My.. Uhm.. Initiative? I mean.. Those paraspike-shells are explosive. That takes quite the initiative in my opinion." Waluigi smiled brightly, and nervously.

"Hrm. I guess it makes sense. In a homo-sapiens' sort of way." Shadowflash looked upwards and placed a hoof on his chin. As if he were thinking.

"Well, anyways, I think we're hindering our progress. We should probably be on our way, right Twilight?" Shadowflash turned around, looking at Twilight.

"Yeah. We should head out." Twilight smiled.

"Oooh, boy!" Pinkie Pie jumped up and down as they all saddled up.

Their tents were already packed up and the camp-fire safely put out. They started down the yellow path again, clicking along the trail. They passed many other rocky outcrops. It seemed like this place was uninhabitable. But Wario seemed to be on the edge. He was sweating frantically and looking at the many rocks they passed.

"Wario, are you okay?" Fluttershy asked shyly.

"Gah! Can't you see it?! It's there!" Wario was biting down on a large rock. Everyone stopped and stared at him.

"What's there?" Rarity asked. This reminded her of the Discord incident; when she thought a rock was a large diamond.

"He senses gold literally anywhere. There's probably a hint of it in the rock." Waluigi sighed and walked over to the rock.

He turned around and smacked his rearhooves into the large, jutting, rock. It slowly started to crack. Waluigi rolled his purple eyes in annoyance and bucked again. The cracks started to wrap around the rock even more and finally it reached the tip. The rock split in half, and inside, there was gold.

"Yes! Gold!" Wario quickly scrapped his hooves at the traces of gold and stuffed some in his hat. Other bits of gold into his saddle bags that Twilight gave him this morning.

Everyone's mouth, except Waluigi's, was a large, gaping, 'O'. They couldn't believe it.

"Guess .. He wasn't lying." Shadowflash said.

"My GOODNESS!" Rarity yelled.

"Can you imagine how much gold he could find?! We'd be rich!" Rarity yelled in a high pitch screech of excitement.

"Rarity.. He's not your gold finder." Rainbow Dash said.

"Oh, come on now, girls! Lighten up! We can be rich!" Rarity trotted over to Wario, patting his back.

"I wouldn't bother. He doesn't share with anyone. But me." Waluigi rolled his eyes and he started walking.

Wario growled up at Rarity and started walking next to his brother. Rarity huffed and almost went red faced in anger.

Shadowflash just laughed. He was now walking next to Rainbow Dash, who was gently nudging him.

"Hehe.." She giggled, looking up at him.

"Rainbow.." Shadowflash smiled, brightly, looking back at her.

"I'm glad you're here, Blitzy. It means a lot to me." Rainbow Dash kissed his cheek softly.

"Anything. I was tired after that long adventure with my friends, anyways." 'Flash smiled.

"Your friends? Adventure? Mind telling me?" Rainbow Dash looked at him with joy in her eyes.

"Heh. Another time; sweety-hooves." Shadowflash gave a cutesy look to Rainbow Dash. She just giggled and nodded.

Chapter 4: Disarray

Dragon's Peak -- Unknown area -- Day 3

Celestia woke up from her slumber. She stood and saw where she was: In a cage. The cage was sparking with electricity and was interlaced with a thick blue and green barrier. It felt as though powerful magic was holding the 'force-field' up. She looked past the field, as best as she could, and saw a bright light centred around what looked to her as an 'altar'.

"Good evening, Celestia...", A large, shadowy, figure turned around and spoke to Celestia.

Celestia couldn't make out his, or her, image.

"I'm Clairvoyance. The predictor of futures!", 'Clairvoyance' spoke with a cackle in his voice. Clearly, now, distinguished as a male.

"You won't get away with this, Clairvoyance.", Celestia spoke in confidence. Clairvoyance retorted and laughed.

"Oh, don't you see? I have many creatures bent to my will! I predict the future with 120% accuracy. I'm sure Rainbow Dash would consider it 20% better, don't you agree?!", Clairvoyance let out a cackle.

"They'll defeat you, Clairvoyance." Celestia stared at him through the thick barrier.

"Oh, no, they won't. I have Disarray on her way now! She'll defeat them in a single blow! Gahahahaha!" Clairvoyance pranced over to the 'altar'.

"Now, if you'll shut up, I have important plans to make. A date with your sister? Sounds great!", Clairvoyance let out a harnessing laugh; falling on his rump.

Celestia only scowled. Truly annoyed.

If only this barrier wasn't stopping me from warning Twilight.. Celestia set the thought aside. She knew Twilight would defeat anything that was thrown at her.

Forsaken Forest -- Borders -- Day 3

"So, is this a good spot?", Spike plopped down on onto the ground and started to lean back in relaxation.

"Yeah. Should do us over." Twilight looked to the rest of the gang. It seemed trivial on how far they've only gotten in two days. But, it's progress.

After about thirty minutes, all the tents were set up. A fire was being started by Spike. At least until Rarity yelled.

"EEEEEeek! There's a spider near my tent!", Rarity, literally, flew up onto one of the Roman pillar in fear.

"Oh, Rarity.. It's just a cutesy, wootsy, little spider..", Fluttershy gently lowered her hoof to the spider. The spider gently nuzzled up her forelimb and Fluttershy spoke to it.

"Please, Mr. Spider, I need you to move for my friend here. You can make your home in the Forsake Forest over there.", Fluttershy smiled and the spider nodded to Fluttershy.

The spider jumped off of her hoof and immediately headed towards the forest.

Rarity hopped down from the pillar and sighed.

"Thank you, Fluttershy.. Don't know what I'd do without you..", Rarity gave a small smile to Fluttershy.

"Oh, anything for you, Rarity!", Fluttershy smiled.

"Well... I think Shadowflash and I are going to hit the hay.", Rainbow Dash gingerly went into her tent, awaiting Shadowflash.

"We are?", Shadowflash inquired, looking up at the falling sun. It was at its 55 degree mark.

"Well.. Yeah!", Rainbow Dash gave 'Flash a contorted look, as if to say: 'Just get in here!'. Shadowflash smiled.

"Well, I guess we are!", Shadowflash flew softly over to her tent and went inside. Rainbow quickly put up the tent-flap and whispers was all that was heard.

"Hrm.. Can't stop them...", Fluttershy laid down on the ground, softened by some sheets she laid out, and rested her head on top of her forehooves.

Twilight, Rarity, Applejack and Pinkie Pie laid down in, somewhat, the same manner.

"Hey, Twilight?", Applejack inquired.

"Yeah?", Twilight looked at Applejack with a bit of growing concern.

"Do you think anything .. y'know.. Bad will happen to Celestia?", Applejack had a frown on her face. Twilight answered immediately.

"No. I don't. Celestia is literally a goddess. I don't think anypony could possible deal harm to her.", Twilight gave a re-assuring smile.

"... Makes me feel bet--", before Applejack could finish, a loud crack was heard just a hundred metres away from their camp.

"Uhm.. Twi-.. Twilight..?", Fluttershy shuddered. Her bright cyans eyes quivered with fear.

Shadowflash and Rainbow Dash emerged from the tent, looking at Twilight with confusion.

"What was that?", Shadowflash asked.

"I.. Uh--", before Twilight could answer, a loud laugh was heard.

A pegasus darted above them and stared down at them. Her wings were jet black and her mane fiery red. Her eyes were a scorching black, blending in with the pupils; making her look possessed.

"You fools!", She yelled. As she did this, lightning rose from the ground and into her forehoof; the sparks surged around around her short pastern bone -- or the skin that surrounded it -- of her right hoof.

Shadowflash and Rainbow Dash shot out of their tent, and flew next to Twilight.

"Gahaha! Pathetic. You fools think you can stop Clairvoyance?! Ohhh! That's rich!", The pegasus laughed.

"Who the heck are you?", Wario and Waluigi piped up on their rearhooves, as if they were still human.

"Who am I?! I am the almighty Disarray! The bringer of disorganization and untidiness!", Disarray yelled from the sky.

"Oh, dear, what in heavens shall we do if she puts my papers out of place! It's horrific!", Rarity yelled in sarcasm.

"You dare be sarcastic with me?! I'll show you, you pathetic worm!", With that, Disarray shot a bolt of lightning out of her forehoof.

It struck the ground near Rarity and caused Rarity to jump back; into Fluttershy.

"Hahahahaha!", Disarray laughed.

"Okay, enough of this!", Shadowflash bolted upwards, but was held back by Twilight.

"Twilight?!", Shadowflash looked at her.

"Only they can stop her!", Twilight was pointing to Wario and Waluigi.

"Us?!", Wario exclaimed.

"Yes, you! Now go!", Applejack pushed them out towards Disarray.

"Oh, you really think these bafoons can defeat me? Pfft! Hahaha! What a joke!", Disarray threw another bolt of lightning.

Wario and Waluigi braced for impact. Instead, the bolt of lightning was deflected and bolted directly into the ground.

"What?!", Disarray looked at them with confusion.

"Wario! The fireballs!", Waluigi yelled at Wario.

"Garlic!", Wario yelled at Waluigi.

"Garlic?!", Everypony in the background yelled in confusion.

"GARLIC!", Waluigi pulled some garlic out of Wario's saddlebag and threw it into the sky.

Wario launched himself into the sky and wrapped his entire mouth around the garlic. In one, swift, gulp, the onion fell directly down his esophagus and into his stomach. He landed with a burp.

"That's it?", Disarray looked at them, with grimace.

"That's your big move? Eating a piece of garlic?!", Disarray laughed wildly.

"Guys, this isn't time for fooling arou--", before Twilight could finish, Wario started to twitch.

"Woohoo! It still works!", Waluigi yelled in excitement.

Wario looked as if he was going to convulse on the ground. Instead, his forehooves glowed with fiery rage. He looked upward as he stood on his rearhooves.

"Take this, silly girl!", Wario yelled as he launched two massive fireballs at Disarray.

Before Disarray could move, she was directly hit by the fireballs. They burned away most of her feathers and she immediately plummeted to the ground. Disarray fell with a loud thud and a moan of pain. Everypony stepped forward to look at her.

Her fiery red mane was now blue, her coat was brown with a hint of charcoal and her jet black wings were now matching with her charcoal-brown coat.

"That was easy.", Wario laughed.

Twilight looked at Disarray. Slowly, Disarray's eyes opened to reveal bright blue eyes.

"I.. Where.. Where am I?", Disarray looked at everypony in confusion.

"It's all right, missy. I think you're a little lost. I'm pretty sure you're meant to.. Go over there.", Applejack pointed to Canterlot in the distance. Everypony agreed with her.

"Uhm.. Oh.. Okay.. I.. I'm sorry.", Disarray stood up and looked at everypony.

"How did I get here, anyways..?", She looked at Twilight mainly.

"You.. Uhm.. Fell. You were out for a while. But it seemed like you were heading towards Canterlot.", Twilight gave a re-assuring smile.

"Oh, okay. Thanks.", Disarray picked herself up and flew off to Canterlot.

A minute or two past as they watched her fly off.

"What the hay just happened, Twi?", Applejack looked at Twilight.

"I think Clairvoyance is either mind-controlling, or she's just very forgetful. I'm going with option one..", Twilight smirked.

Chapter 5: Graveyard of The Forgotten

Forsaken Forest -- Outskirts of the Forgotten's Graveyard -- Day 4

"This place sure is creepy...", Rarity said lowly, looking around her surroundings.

Around the entire group were very large, blackened, trees; drooping with many willow-whips and dying flowers. Along with that, the roots seemed to grow in only one direction: Towards the gate of the Graveyard.

"I.. C-couldn't.. Agree more!", Fluttershy said, shaking behing the Wario Brothers.

"Pfft. Me and Waluigi always go to spooky places. This is nothin'!", Wario said. His brother slapped him on the head.

"Waluigi and I, Wario..", Wario rolled his eyes as Waluigi told him this.

"Well, the only way out of the forest is through this graveyard. I'm sure if we just respect the dead and stay on the path, we'll be fine.", Twilight said, shakily, and slowly started to proceed through the gates.

"Yeah, girls, it's not that bad if we stick together.", Shadowflash said, proceeding behind Twilight.

Rainbow Dash soon followed, then Fluttershy, then Rarity, then the Wario Brothers, then Pinkie Pie -- with an obvious hop -- and then Applejack.

"Remember that song we had in the Everfree Forest, girls?", Pinkie Pie said, hopping forward with a large smile.

"Oh, yeah!", Fluttershy smiled, looking at Pinkie Pie.

"When I was a little filly and the sun was going down..", Pinkie started to sing with joy.

"I'd hide under my pillow from what I thought I saw", Twilight continued in a light toned voice.

"But Granny Pie said that wasn't the way; to deal with fears at all!", Pinkie Pie was now staring at the Graveyard of The Forgotten.

"She said: Pinkie, you got to stand up tall, learn to face your fears! You'll see, they can't hurt you at all, you just have to laugh to make them disappear!", Everypony, excluding the Wario Brothers, started to sing.

"GAH! I can't take it anymore! Shut up!", a loud voice called. Everyone hushed their song.

"You're singing has woken my eternal slumber! I'm trying to sleep, can't you see!?", a large, black, figure slowly walked through the gates of the graveyard.

Everypony was backing up in fear.

"I mean, you're good, but this is my home! Not a theatre!", as the figure went into, what there was of, the light, it had many distinct features.

First, his eyes were completely gone. Blackened soles in the sockets.

Second, his fore and rearlimbs were only bones.

Third, his mane was made up of cobwebs and rotted flesh.

Finally, he wore a large skull and crossbones symbol around his chest.

"W-we're s-s-sorry .. S-s-sir!", Twilight said, shaking as she saw all these features. The same was said for everypony else. Except the Brothers.

"Gah! Sorry isn't good enough! I'll have to show you a thing or two about sleeping! Don't you realise who I am?!", The 'skeletal' pony spoke in a, now, loud and booming voice.

"N-n-no!", Everypon cued in unison.

"I am The Fear! I sleep in this graveyard to make sure all those who visit have a little 'scare' when they arrive. But you idiots decide to 'sing'! So, I'm going to have to show you a lesson or two about waking dead.", With that, The Fear stamped his hooves onto the ground and it started to wrap around him

The rotted dirt and grass wrapped around his fore and rearlimbs, slowly sinking in, as if it was acting as skin. As this took place, his eye sockets started to glow a blood red colour. Large, jutting, spikes grew where his mane once was and the rotted ground finished forming around him.

"I will show you true annoyance, you fools!", The Fear said, in a low, demonic-like, voice.

"Wario, Waluigi, do something!", Twilight looked back at them. They stared at The Fear; trying to recall how they defeated something that couldn't die.

Dragon's Peak -- Unknown area -- Day 4

"So, Princess Celestia, what do you think your 'subjects' could possibly do to defeat me?", Clairvoyance asked as he looked through the large barriers.

"They'll use something you haven't thought of.", Celestia said calmly.

"Oh?.. Heh.. Funny.. I know what they're going to do..", Clairvoyance retorted.

"They're going to use humans to their advantage! Well, it won't work! Hahahahaha! I have already predicted their flaws. They'll die at the Graveyard of The Forgotten. Where my beautiful stallion, The Fear, will take care of them! Ohhh..! I can already hear their screams of terror!", Clairvoyance laughed as his shadowy figure turned about.

"I think you're wrong, Clairvoyance. In fact, I think they'll defeat them. Once they reach here, they'll send you to the moon. Or even better, banishment to the sun.", Celestia smiled cunningly.

"Bah! You're no fun, Celestia. Can't you ever enjoy life? Banishment to the sun is a little.. Over-rated, anyways. I prefer ruling your kingdom. Besides..", Clairvoyance moved closer to the barrier. Celestia could see his bright yellow eyes.

"You can't break out of that little cell..", Clairvoyance laughed loudly. It echoed throughout the 'cave' that they were in.

The Graveyard of The Forgotten -- Main Gate -- Day 4

"Wario, Waluigi, do something!", Twilight looked back at them. They stared at The Fear; trying to recall how they defeated something that couldn't die.

"Ha! You can't do anything. Giggle at this, pink one.", The Fear stared directly into Pinkie's eyes. Her face flushed red as she continued to stare into those soulless pits.

Memories of her childhood came to her. The moments of happiness and prosperity. It made her want to laugh. But, then, she noticed something. A large, headless, stallion. The stallion was roaring with anger and rage. This overcame Pinkie's ability to comprehend anything.

"GaaaaH!", Pinkie fell to the ground, trying to hide from something that wasn't there. She wouldn't budge for a second.

"Gahahaha! Who's next?", The Fear stamped over to Shadowflash.

"Nice, try, Fear.", Shadowflash darted in the air above him, looking away.

"Fool us once, shame on you. Fool us twice, shame on us.", Shadowflash laughed.

"You really think I can only do that, Blitzy?", The Fear grimaced.

The spikes that replaced Fear's mane jutted out further, revealing tentacles that held them down. They rocketed towards Shadowflash and wrapped around him; putting in the viper hold.

"Ack!", Shadowflash was pulled close to The Fear. Shadowflash closed his eyes, but the pressure of the grip made him stare into the gleaming red sockets.

He saw memories of the bullies back at the Academy. They were pushing him into lockers and beating him up. He was flooded with memories of the day at Cloudsdale; when all the fears of failing were once accommodated.

The viper hold was let go as he went into fettle position and hid from things that weren't there.

One by one, The Fear did this to everypony. The last two left were Waluigi and Wario.

"Now, then, you two.. I think I have something impressive for you..", The Fear's spikes dug into the ground, raising him into the air.

"Nothing will stop Clairvoyance. You'll fail your objective. Now then.. Hold still and this won't hurt.", The Fear slowly started to charge a black ball of light between his forehooves.

The black ball started to static into his palette bones, deep, up into his neck.

"Waluigi! The tennis racket!", Wario flipped open his saddle bag to reveal the tennis racket. They always like amusement when they travel. Before they left Ponyville, they got a tennis racket from Twilight.

"YEAH!", Waluigi grabbed it with his mouth, holding it firmly.

"A tennis racket?! Bahahahaha! That's rich!..", The Fear's ball of dark energy reached the size of a mini-van's tire.

"Time to die!", with that, The Fear launched the ball forward with amazing force.

The ball of darkness flew with increasing velocity and Waluigi readied himself. Flashbacks of playing tennis entered his mind. The epicness of defeating the Mario brothers and earning a gold medal. The awesomeness of becoming a champion and being cheered on by everyone in the crowds of the stadium. This built his adrenaline, and as the ball finally came to his racket, he swung.

The racket forcefully shot the ball right back at The Fear. It hit him directly in the face.

"GAH!", the ball of darkness warped around his face. Turning white.

"No!! This can't be happening!.. NO!!", The Fear dropped to the ground as his tentacles turned into ash.

The, now white, ball surged through his body, making him slowly glow.

"No!! I.. My.. Clairvoyance! Sa--", but, before he could finish, he exploded into a radiant rainbow; surging colour throughout the graveyard and forest.

Dragon's Peak -- Unknown area -- Day 4

"Clairvoyance, you're a nuisance, you know that.", Celestia stared into Clairvoyance's yellow eyes.

"Oh, yes, I know. It's fun. I'm sure Discord had a good laugh when he wrecked Equestria. I would too.", Clairvoyance chuckled.

"Now, the real question is, may I marry Luna? I thought she was the cuter of you two. She is quite dashing with her.. What was it.. Old English?", Clairvoyance inquired.

"Very funny. I don't think you'll lay a hoof on her.", Celestia replied in a strict, mother-like, tone.

"Oh, sorry, mommy. Didn't realise I couldn't date somepony.", Clairvoyance laughed again.

"You don't realise everything you're doing, do you? All of Equestria will suffer catastrophic events that will change the weather patterns. We could enter another ice age.", Celestia said with concern in her voice.

"Oh, I do realise that. But, I'm literally dead anyways. So, why not take down the rest of Equestria with me?", Clairvoyance snarled.

"Grr.. Clairvoyance, when I ge--", but, before Celestia could finish, a loud noise was echoed into the cave.

"Hmm?", Clairvoyance ran into the darkest of darkness. As he did this, a bright rainbow shot throughout the cave, blinding Celestia and Clairvoyance.

"GAH! What is this?!", Clairvoyance yelled as he moved back to the cage.

"Looks like Fear was defeated.", Celestia laughed lowly.

"GRRRR!", Clairvoyance hissed.

The Graveyard of The Forgotten -- Exit Gate -- Day 4

"We're sorry we couldn't stand up to him, Wario and Waluigi. All those memories.. They.. It was horrible. But.. How'd you defeat him?", Twilight apologized, and then inquired the Brothers.

"Tennis.", Waluigi answered.

"Tennis?", Twilight asked.

"Yup. Tennis. I smacked that ball that he threw and it hit him in the face. Then rainbows shot out of him.", Waluigi smiled with an evilish grin.

"Guess that racket came in hoofy after all.", Twilight smiled.

"Yes, yes, now let's leave before more freaky zombie ponies show up!", Rarity pushed the entire group out of the Graveyard and into the grassy/snowy outcrops.

Chapter 6: Noveria

Noveria -- City gates -- Day 4

"Uhg.. I need a break..", Applejack said, as they trotted into the snowy city.

"I couldn't agree more, darling.", Rarity groaned.

"Well, we can get a decent nights sleep here in Noveria. I'm surprised we travelled this far.", Twilight was smiling as they plotted themselves near a hotel; The Noveria Estate.

"Yeah.. Now, can we get some rest? I'm tired!", Spike lightly yelled as they slowly opened the door of the hotel.

As they entered, they were greeted by a large, brown, stallion. The room around the stallion was decorate; with gilded lanterns and large golden poles that held up the upper floor. The stairs were trimmed with crimson velvet carpets that lead all the way up them. The counters and tables were all marble with mahogany carvings for their supports.

"Hello, fillies and gentlecolts.", The large stallion said; with a monotone, but high class, voice.

"Oh, hello there, darling. Where's the nearest check in? I'd love to get a room.", Rarity went up to him, looking him in his large, turquoise, eyes.

"Oh, well, just right over there, ma'dam.", The 'greeter' pointed over to the marble counter-top 'check ins' over to the left of the entrance.

"Thank you, darling!", Rarity immediately pushed everypony, and Spike, over to the check in counter.

"Good evening. How may I help you?", a grey maned pony smiled as she stared at the large group.

"Yes, a beautiful suite with all the luxuries a girl could ever ask for!", Rarity's eyes gleamed as she spoke. Everypony behind her just rolled their eyes.

"You realise that'll cost 500 bits, right?", The mare said.

"500 bits?!", Twilight gasped.

"We can't afford that Rarity. That's just too much.", Rarity turned around to face Twilight.

"We can! Wario!", She pointed a hoof to Wario.

"Do you still have that gold you found?!", Wario hissed at her as Rarity asked.

"I ain't given up any of my gold! Back off!", Wario held onto his hat tightly.

"But... Wariooooo! Puh-leeease! Rarity wants a beautiful rooo-ooom! A room where we can all re-laaaax!", Rarity complained.

"No way!", Wario growled.

"Why do you get to have all the gold and not I...?! Why can't we stay in a room with luxuries and not uuuuus?!", Rarity whined further.

"Shut up!", Wario yelled, annoyed. Even the check in mare was folding down her ears.

"Warrrrioooo!", Rarity groaned once more.

"FINE!", Wario took off his hat and threw a large piece of gold at her.

"Thank you, darling.", Rarity turned around and placed it onto the counter.

"Is this suffice?", She asked.

"Hmm..", the check in mare picked it up and inspected it further.

"I believe it'll have to do. Here's your key.", The grey-maned mare gave her a large, gold, key, and Rarity immediately pushed everyone up the stairs.

Noveria -- Noveria Estate, room 501 -- Day 5

"Now that was beauty sleep!", Rarity sat up on her bed. Everypony else was already awake.

"We've been awake for two hours, waiting for you, Rarity. We need to head out, now. Don't have any time to waste." Twilight said, as she stood up. Everypony else stood up as well.

"What about breakfast?", Rarity asked.

"I have some muffins. Cherry flavoured. They'll do us good. Full of fibre and energy.", Twilight lifted a plate with her magic, and floated it over to Rarity. Wario and Waluigi just watched in awe.

"Wish I had magic..", Wario whispered to his brother.

"Now then, get ready and lets go. No time to waste.", Twilight and the group headed out of the hotel room immediately, and waited in the lobby.

It took over twenty minutes for Rarity to finally come out of the room. She was wearing a purple scarf with diamonds stitched in it. Seems like an over-fashion statement.

"Finally. Let's get out of here.", Rainbow Dash said.

They walked out and a lot of the residence started to rush into their houses. Everypony was wide eyed as they saw this.

"What are you ponies doing? Get inside! A storm is on its way!", a blue pegasus yelled as he flew upwards towards the sky.

"A storm?!", The group gapped their mouths as they saw it.

There, in the distance, was a large snow storm. It was shooting out bolts of lightning and bring hail. The winds of the storm were rushing into the city; blowing all the snow in a large, upward current. But, something seemed odd about the storm. There was somepony flying in the middle of it.

"Is that a pegasus in there?", Rainbow Dash gave a queer look as she stared.

"It's STORM HARBINGER! Everypony! RUUUUN!", screams of terror flew within the city.

"Gahahahaha! Prepare to meet your maker!", a loud, booming, voice echoed from the storm clouds as they neared. The currents of the wind were blowing blinds and banners everywhere. The snow was whirling around the city in a large white-out.

"Blitz! We have to stop that guy!", Rainbow Dash said. Shadowflash nodded and they both shot upwards to 'Storm Harbinger'.

"Back off, you pathetic worms!", Storm Harbinger started to launch massive icicles at the two pegasi's.

Shadowflash avoided them, but unfortunately, Rainbow Dash dropped to the ground. Shadowflash continued his ascending journey to Storm Harbinger, avoiding the large ice bolts that whipped towards him.

"You don't give up, do you? Why not suffer a bit of DEEP FREEZE!", Storm Harbinger lowered the clouds upon Shadowflash.

Whirlwinds formed around him and ice started to form. Shadowflash lost his breath and the air was getting thicker, and, colder. Ice wrapped around his rearlimbs, up to his abdomen, then to his chest, finally: he was encased in ice and plummeted to the earth.

"Blitzy!", Rainbow yelled as Blitz landed in a large mound of snow.

"Gahahaha! Useless trash!", Storm Harbinger lowered herself. The whirlwinds died a little, but the wind stayed its speed.

"So, Clairvoyance told me you're being a nuisance? Hmhm.. Looks like Clairvoyance will have fun with this guy...", Storm Harbinger placed his hooves on the iced Shadowflash.

"NO!", Rainbow Dash yelled.

"Get any closer, and I'll shatter him into a million pieces!", Storm Harbinger threatened.

"Please.. We'll do anything.. Just don't hurt him..", Rainbow Dash pleaded.

"Head back to Ponyville. Forget your Princess. And send those idiots back to where they came!", Storm Harbinger was pointing at Wario and Waluigi.

"Twilight..", Rainbow Dash begged to Twilight for her to oblige.

"No.", Wario answered. Twilight was stunned.

"'No'?!", Rainbow Dash and Storm Harbinger yelled.

"No, no, no, no, no, no, no!", Wario yelled.

"Then he'll die! Turn back now!", Storm Harbinger threatened once more.

"I think you're bluffing! I see it in your icey eyes. I've seen when death was near. No one can do it. Not even you! I've had more experience than you in the matter. If you want to rid of him, do it! DO IT!", Wario argued.

Storm Harbinger looked at the iced Shadowflash. He lifted his hooves and was ready to smash him. Wario gave a stern look in Storm's grey eyes. Storm Harbinger was shaking now. He was frightened.

Slowly, Storm lowered his hooves and melted Shadowflash out of ice.

"I.. Can't do it..", The storm died down and most of the snow that was created melted almost immediately.

"I just... I can't..", Storm lowered himself to the ground as Shadowflash came to.

"Blitzy!", Rainbow Dash jumped over to Shadowflash, hugging him tightly.

"I'm.. Sorry..", Storm started to cry a droplet of tear. The tear was red. Like fire.

"It's okay.", Twilight said, nearing him. She lifted his head to hers.

"We all make mistakes.", Twilight smiled. Storm Bringer's tear dropped to the ground: creating a small flame.

"We.. Do...", Storm's hooves started to lock up as stone formed around them.

"What's.. Happening?", Storm questioned.

"You're free; Storm. Let go.", Twilight smiled again. The stone formed further up around Storm's torso.

"T.. Thank you..", Storm's final words echoed in Twilight's mind as he further turned into stone. He was now like Discord: Trapped for eternity.

"Wario..", Twilight turned and faced Wario.

Wario was sitting on his rump, and staring at the ground. His expression was an angry one. Waluigi was sitting beside him; just as confused as Twilight.

"How did y--"

"I always know when someone is bluffing.", Wario cut off Twilight. Twilight only gave a nod. For the next hour; everypony would be as silent as a mouse.

Chapter 7: Dragon's Peak

Dragon's Peak -- Unknown Area -- Day 5

"Looks like Storm Harbinger is now gone.", Celestia said with a huff of victory.

"Shut up, you pathetic worm! Just because some of my subjects were defeated doesn't mean I will lose. I am the almighty Clairvoyance. None will defeat me!", Clairvoyance finally turned on some lights within the cave.

The cave was mostly empty, besides the 'altar'. But now Celestia could see what Clairvoyance looked like. Clairvoyance was a pegasus, and had a green coat, with yellow eyes. But, what made him different was that, he's only half pegasus. Half of his body seemed to be made of steel, or other silver-like metals. His left wing was large and sharp; like a shutter shade. The right side of his face was replaced by a red lens with a glowing bulb. His rearlimbs were also replaced by metal.

"My, my, my, Celestia. Never seen an abomination like me before?", Clairvoyance cackled.

"Want to know how I ended up like this?! Because of you!", Clairvoyance yelled at her through the barriers.

"I was a fine colt. I was in Cloudsdale amongst the best fliers! I was going places, lady! Until you showed up that day! That's when I messed up. That's when I fell to the earth that you call Equestria!", Clairvoyance's face was red with anger.

"I broke most of my limbs. I suffered severe brain damage. I was lucky someone bothered to fix me! But, now look at me! I'm a MONSTER!", Clairvoyance flew over to the altar.

"And because of this, I'll do what you did to me. Kill everything you loved! Everything you dreamed of having!", Clairvoyance pressed, what seemed to be, a button.

A large, mechanical, device jutted out of the ground. It extended to the ceiling and pierced through. Large rocks fell and collapsed some of the ceiling; but the device created struts to hold up the rest.

"This is my Solar Emitter! It'll extract the suns energy for the next day or two. Afterwords, I'll release all the energy there is to burn all of Equestria! And then nopony will live for another 10,000 years! Isn't it just perfect?!", Clairvoyance echoed a laugh throughout the cave.

Celestia only stared in awe at the device.

Please.. Twilight.. Hurry.. Celestia thought in pleads.

Dragon's Meadow -- Exiting of Noveria -- Day 5

"Well, good thing is, we're almost there. Bad thing is, we're nearing dragon territory. So; we better be careful everypony.", Spike was reading the map as he looked around the plains.

"Meh.", Waluigi and Wario yawned. It wasn't new danger they were facing.

"So, the area we're going to is called.. Dragon's Peak. That's where Celestia is being held. Dragon's Peak is due Northwest of our location.", Spike gently smacked a claw on the map.

"All right, sugar cube. Smack that map one more time and I oughta --"

"Calm down, AJ. It's just Spike.", Shadowflash gave a re-assuring look as he interrupted Applejack.

"Fine.. Fine..", Applejack sighed and continued forward.

"So, Twilight, how exactly are Wario and Waluigi going to defeat Clairvoyance? Couldn't we use the Elements of Harmony?", Shadowflash asked.

"No. Unfortunately, they're locked in the Royal Vault. Celestia is the only one who can open it. That's why Luna has sent us to defeat Clairvoyance with the help of the Wario Brothers. They're the only ones with the power to stop his foresight.", Twilight looked at Shadowflash. Shadowflash only nodded.

"Foresight? You mean he predicts our every move?", Waluigi asked.

"Yes. Why do you think we've been fighting off crazy ponies these last few days? He's sending them to us.", Twilight looked back at Waluigi.

"Uhg. It's Kamek all over again. Only this time, we don't have to fight Bowser for our failures.", Wario grunted in anger.

"Kamek?", Twilight inquired.

"Some stupid witch.. Wizard.. I don't know. She always knew our next move. The only way to stop her was to destroy the thing she used. Her wand.", Waluigi answered.

"Her wand... Maybe... Clairvoyance has something that allows him to see our next move? It's a possibility we can't let down on!", Twilight exclaimed in excitement.

"We're nearing the base of Dragon's Peak.", Spike said. Seemed like he was out of it.

The group of ponies looked up at the large mountain. It jutted upwards into the sky. There was a path that lead directly into a large cave, then above the entrance, there was a spiralling path. Looks like this was it.

"Dragon's Peak... Well, no turning back.", Twilight said as she started.

"C'mon, Fluttershy! There aren't dragons here!", Rainbow Dash pushed Fluttershy up the slope of a path.

"B-but.. It's dragon territory! W-what if a dragon pops out and eats us?!", Fluttershy nervously tried backing up.

"It may be dragon territory, but this peak has been abandoned for centuries. There are no dragons here, Fluttershy. I promise.", Spike smiled.

"Cross your heart and hope to fly, stick a cupcake in your eye?!", Pinkie Pie stared in Spike's large eyes.

"Uh, yeah.", He gave a nervous smile.

"O.. O-okay..", Fluttershy proceeded forward, willingly, now.

As they ascended the slope, they neared the cave entrance. The sun was dropping rapidly now and the moon was rising above the horizon. Twilight started to worry for the well being of Luna.

Hold in there, Luna.. I believe in you. Twilight thought.

Dragon's Peak -- Cave One -- Day 6

As they entered the cave, it seemed very small. It was empty; but there were large pillars and stalagmites all around. The proceeded into the dark cave, but thanks to Twilight, she lit up most of it. All their fears were drowning out now. But somepony thought they heard something.

"Twilight.. Did you hear that?", Rainbow Dash shuddered.

"Hear what? The cave is empty.", Twilight answered.

The cave shuddered with wind.

"THAT! Did you hear it?!", Rainbow Dash whispered in a rasp.

"It's wind, Rainbow. Don't you fret about it.", Applejack placed a hoof on her friends back to re-assure her.

"What's wind is wind bellows throughout a cave. But when darkness comes, you'll never speak again!", a voice called out.

"Who's there?!", Twilight and everpony entered a defensive stance.

"Oh, you're too much fun. I've been watching your little journey in my home.", The voice was much like Discord's; when he was giving riddles.

"Discord? But, we trapped you in stone!", Pinkie Pie yelled.

"Oh, I wish I was Discord. He's so .. Beautiful. Let me introduce myself further..", The voice seemed closer to them now; but it still echoed within the cave.

"My name is Darkshadow. Pleasure to meet you all!", Darkshadow was still unseen. Even if Twilight's horn was emitting light.

"I'll tell you what..", The cave entrance was sealed now; and the exit was closed off by a dark barrier.

"If you pass my test; I'll let you through. Fail: you rot in here for eternity!", Darkshadow laughed with a cracking voice.

"What test?!", Twilight asked.

"Fight me in Darkness. No light; or magic. Only Darkness. Beat me: I'll let you leave.", Darkshadow chuckled.

"How are we supposed to fight you if we can't see you.", Rainbow Dash yelled.

"To see darkness; you must first remove your lights. To fight it, you must turn away from fright.", Darkshadow gave a little riddle.

"I won't hurt you, but, if you manage to hit me once; then I will start causing a bit of.. Pain... Hehehe..", Darkshadow laughed quietly.

" 'To see darkness... You must first remove your lights..'", Wario whispered to his brother.

"Are we in some sort of Boo mansion?.. *ahem*", Waluigi spoke up loudly.

"Wario and I will fight you. Nobo--.. Pony.. Else!", Waluigi yelled.

"Guys! We need to wor--"

"No! We know how to stop him.", Waluigi shot a whisper to Twilight; interrupting her.

"Hrm.. Fine, fine. I'll only fight you two. You'll lose anyways.", Darkshadow laughed.

"Put out your light, Twilight.", Wario commanded. She did so; as the entire cave was now darker than the grim reapers heart.

Chapter 8: Darkshadow and The Pests

Dragon's Peak -- Darkshadow's Cave -- Day 6

"Hrm.. Can you see me?", Darkshadow called out. Laughing lowly.

Wario was listening intently to where his voice was coming from. He tried his hardest to pinpoint it, but the echoes made it very hard.

"It's annoying to not be able to see, isn't it?", Darkshadow laughed lowly.

"It must b--", Before Darkshadow finished, he hit something.

His mistake. Wario knew where he was in the cave now.

"Turn to the east, Waluigi.", Wario turned east in the cave. Waluigi did the same.

"What's this?!", Darkshadow was now visible.

Darkshadow's outline was almost as bright as the sun. His wings were emitting a large light that filled the entire cave. The torches lit up brightly.

"No! Nopony ever figured it out!", He yelled as he darted towards the brothers.

With that, Shadowflash picked himself up and tackled Darkshadow. Darkshadow hit the cave floor with a thud as he held him down.

"Ha! Your mistake! Only Wario and Waluigi may play!", The room filled with darkness again. And Shadowflash hit the floor.

"Blitzy!", Rainbow Dash yelled.

"Sorry..", He returned to the group.

"Dang it. We had him too. All right.. Let's try again.", Wario started to listen intently once more.

"Oh, woe is you. Making a mistake like that. This time, I won't hit anything for you to find me.", Darkshadow laughed.

Uhg.. How did we do it before? Wario thought

We usually just turned away from the Boo's. But we can't see him without the moonlight that shines in a mansion. Wario's eyes went wide. His brain alarms went off for this idea. Moonlight.

"Waluigi, do you still have our moonstone?", Wario asked.

"I don't even know if we brought it here! But I'll check.", Waluigi flipped open Wario's saddle bag, in hopes of finding the moonstone.

"Moonstone? Ha. What will that do?", Darkshadow laughed.

"Ah-ha!", Waluigi pulled out an illuminating rock. The rock started to light up brightly in the darkness.

"What's this..?", Darkshadow started to illuminate once more, and the entire room filled with light.

"Haha! Found you!", Wario ran full speed at Darkshadow, who was standing just three metres from the group.

Darkshadow ran full speed towards Wario. They clashed their hooves, pushing each other.

"You're weak, short-round!", Darkshadow yelled.

"You're a loser, shadow-face!", Wario yelled.

"Time to fly!", Darkshadow picked Wario up and flew up to the ceiling.

"Have a nice fall this year.", Darkshadow dropped Wario as he fell.

"AAAAAaaaaaH!", Wario yelled. Waluigi quickly dove and caught Wario on his back.

"Whew..", Waluigi expressed.

"Hrm.. Tall one.", Darkshadow darted downward at Waluigi.

Waluigi was annoyed by everything going on. So he chucked the moonstone right at Darkshadow's face.

"OW!", Darkshadow immediately started to skid across the cave floor.

"Owwwww! Ow, ow, ow, owwwie!", Darkshadow started to rub his face with his hooves.

"Why would you do that?! That hurt! Owww! Mommy! Daddy!", Darkshadow started to cry. The room's entrance and exit opened up now.

"C'mon, everypony!", Twilight exclaimed as they darted for the exit.

"Owww!", Darkshadow cried harder as the group left the cave.

Dragon's Peak -- Cliffside path -- Day 6

"Who knew throwing a rock in somepony's face was enough to defeat them.", Wario laughed.

"Meh. I was annoyed.", Waluigi cackled.

"Well, that got us out of yet another jam. Let's hope we can get to the Princess in time. C'mon!", Twilight started to run, as well as everypony else.

They ran up the spiralling path, avoiding some jutting obstacles, and narrowing paths. They slowed when they saw paths narrow, and took their time to cross. Although time is of the essence, safety is a growing concern. As the ascended higher, they started to near the second cave. There was a large device jutting out of the peak of the second cave's peak. This must be where she is.

"This is it, everypony. In here, Princess Celestia is inside. We must save her! Let's go!", Twilight gave a rally as they all gave a high-hoof in encouragement. They charged directly into the cave.

Dragon's Peak -- ??????????'s Cave -- Day 6

"Good. It's not darker than a fiddlers throat in here.", Applejack said as they proceeded into the gloomy cave.

It was the same as Darkshadow's cave. But the floor was furnished with metal grates instead. Seemed intriguing to everypony.

"Why is it floored like this? Is Clairvoyance working on some sort of pet project?", Shadowflash asked.

"Oh .. I totally forgot about his pets!", Twilight clued in.

"Wait, you mean those minions weren't the pets you were talking about?!", Rarity gasped.

"No, he has bigger pets in here!", With what Twilight said, a loud roar was heard.

"Oh dear...", Fluttershy coward behind Rainbow Dash.

The roar grew closer as a large, beast-like, creature slid into the room. It had massive fangs that jutted out of its slimy mouth. The creature had large tentacles that were armed with spikes that helped it move... And seemed to act like a weapon. It roared insanely at the group.

"I... AM... INADEQUACY!", The creature yelled.

"FEAR... YOUR... DOOM..", Inadequacy opened its mouth as little spouts of slime shot towards the group.

The group dispersed and hid behind some nearby rocks.

"EWWW! Slime!", Rarity yelled.

"It looks like chocolate!", Pinkie Pie giggled.

"Wario, Waluigi, have you ever faced something like this?", Twilight stared at Wario and Waluigi. They shook their heads.

"Then it looks like we're all taking part in this fight. Not just them this time. Let's do this!", Shadowflash encouraged the group.

"You have a plan, Blitz?", Applejack asked.

"I do. Rainbow Dash and I will fly around it to distract the tentacles. Pinkie, Rarity and you will run forward, avoiding the slime and start attacking his lower cavities. Twilight, Wario and Waluigi will use the slime he's launching against him. We need to ball the slime and launch it right back into his ugly mouth.", Shadowflash smiled.

"YOU... WILL.. DIEEEEEEE.", slime slapped against the wall next to them.

"Ready?", Shadowflash asked.

"Ready!", Everpony launched themselves. First; Shadowflash and Rainbow Dash.

The two pegasi flew towards Inadequacy, flying around him. His tentacles lashed out at the two, and they started to avoid them, flying in circles around his... 'Head'.

Rarity, Pinkie Pie and Applejack started to run forward for Inadequacy's base. He started to launch slime at the trio. The group started to avoid it as Twilight, Wario and Waluigi started to catch it. Waluigi had his butterfly net -- for an unknown reason... -- and was using it to catch large balls of slime.

As Rarity, Pinkie Pie and Applejack finally reached the base, they started to buck wildly. Inadequacy roared in rage.

Twilight used her magic to ball the slime, and as Inadequacy opened his mouth, she launched it. The ball of slime hurled directly into the behemoth's mouth. It started to twitch.

"NO... IT... CANNOT... BEEEEEEE...", Inadequacy started to grow smaller, and eventually turned into a weird slime-ball, with large jutting arms.

"YOU... HAVE DEFEATED.. INADEQUACY.... BUT I... AM... THE UNTOUCHABLE.", With that, Applejack, Rarity and Pinkie Pie were forced back to Twilight, Wario and Waluigi by an unknown force.

"I... WILL.. WIN...", The Untouchable yelled.

"How do we defeat something we can't touch?", Shadowflash and Rainbow Dash rejoined the group.

"Maybe not so much us needs to defeat it.. But it needs to defeat itself!", Wario suggest.

"Smartest thing you've said all week, Wario.", Waluigi laughed, but was hit by Wario's hoof.

"How do we get this darn thing to hit itself?", Applejack questioned.

"Rarity and Twilight can manipulate its arms to punch itself!", Wario laughed lowly.

"Wait... That's not a bad idea. Our magic combined would be enough to control one of its arms!", Twilight turned to Rarity.

"You ready?", she asked.

"More than ever, darling!", with that, Rarity and Twilight launched themselves to The Untouchable.

As they neared, Untouchable smashed his large hands onto the ground. Thankfully, our unicorn friends avoided it. Their horns started to glow as a white outline of magic formed around The Untouchable's left arm.

"WHAT... SORCERY... IS... THIS...?", The Untouchable questioned.

Twilight and Rarity were sweating as they started to move The Untouchable's arm and finally laid one strong punch into his face.

"NOOOOOOOOOO!", The Untouchable yelled as he grew smaller.

He turned into a large, shell like, structural being. He had a large, pincer-like, tail and only two legs. He hissed violently at them.

"THIS TIME... YOU WILL NOT DEFEAT... THE EVERLASTING..." The Everlasting swooshed his tail and whipped Rarity and Twilight back towards the group.

"Uhg.. This is just horrible..", Twilight stood up with Rarity, groaning.

Chapter 9: The Everlasting and Illusive

Dragon's Peak -- The Pest Centre -- Day 6

"I.. AM... GOD...", Everlasting roared, stamping his large, talon-like, feet on the grated ground.

"Okay, so, apparently he's everlasting now?", Shadowflash said in annoyance.

"Everything dies eventually. There must be a weak point somewhere.", Wario said.

A large crash was heard as The Everlasting smashed his pincer-tail into the gratings.

"Oh dear Celestia...", Fluttershy shuddered.

"I ... WILL... SURVIVE...", The Everlasting stab his large pincer-tail at the group. Everyone jumped over and around it. Shadowflash accidently bumped into the underbelly of Everlasting.

"GAAAAAH!", The Everlasting roared as this happened, and stabbed at Shadowflash, who immediately avoided it.

"That's it! The weak spot! Hit his belly!", Shadowflash distracted The Everlasting.

The Everlasting turned around and everypony charged right under him.

"YEEEEEE-HAAAAAWW!", Applejack immediately bucked upwards, along with everypony else, and kicked The Everlasting's underbelly.

"GAAAAAH!", The Everlasting grew smaller and smaller. Eventually, his entire shell turned to dust and all that was left was a small worm.

The worm was as big as a filly, and it had massive teeth and pincers that lashed about.

"YOU CANNOT... CATCH.. ME...", The worm said.

"I AM... THE.. ILLUSIVE..", The Illusive immediately did what his name says. He dug into the grated floor, and then underground, moving away from the group.

"Okay, I'm tired of all this!", Waluigi yelled in anger.

The Illusive popped up near Waluigi and tried biting his forehoof. Instead, Waluigi grabbed the worm and stared it in its small eyes.

"JUST DIE ALREADY! YOU PIECE OF TRASH! I'M TIRED OF ALL YOUR GAMES!!!!", Waluigi yelled in anger. His eyes seemed to glow red with fury.

"Oh.. Uhm.. Okay.. Sorry!", The Illusive grew smaller and smaller and then, eventually, turned to dust.

"THERE! LET'S GO!", Waluigi huffed forward in anger.

"Uhm.. That worked..", Fluttershy whimpered.

The group proceeded behind Waluigi as they went deeper into the cave. There were many twists and turns. They crossed over an arching bridge that lead them into a room filled with a large, sparkling, pool of water. further north of it, was a large door with a massive keyhole.

After a few minutes of finding the path downward to the area, they stopped at the door, looking up at it. The door was decorate with many designs of Equestria. From pegasi, to earth ponies, to unicorns, there was a design for it. Even Discord was displayed on the door.

"Great. Now, we're stuck!", Pinkie Pie frowned in annoyance.

"There's a keyhole. There has to be a key around here.", Twilight frowned as she examined it.

"Wario, Waluigi, do you recall anything from your adventures about these kinds of doors?", Twilight looked over at the pair.

"Yeah! In fact, there were plenty of these doors. The keys were usually hidden somewhere that was nowhere near the door. Then, we had to carry them back to the door and shove 'em in. Usually the places they were are obvious ones.", Waluigi nodded to what Wario said.

"Well..Maybe the obvious one isn't so obvious.. Look at these designs.. All these ponies.. Nightmare Moon.. Discord.. The Elements of Harmony.. They're all above a lake.. And in the lake is where this keyhole is.. It seems so..", Twilight stopped a second.

"Lake...", She looked at the picture closer, examining the fine details.

"What is it, Twilight?", Spike asked.

"This lake is sparkling. But.. It's not a lake.. It's a pool. The sparkling pool behind us must have the key!", With that, the door slowly opened up. The keyhole disintegrated and the door revealed a large, brightly lit, room.
To the side, there was Celestia; within the electrical barrier. Down the middle, there was a large device that was labelled '90% Sun Power'. There was a pegasus screaming up at it.

"YES! FURTHER! FURTHER MY DEVICE!", The pegasus yelled.

"Twilight!", Celestia bounced up from the cage floor.

"Twilight?!", The pegasus turned around.

"Ah. I see. Your so very faithful student! Pleasure to meet you, Twilight. I am Clairvoyance. Predictor and fore shadower!", Clairvoyance cackled.

"91 percent." The machine behind him called out.

"Ahh.. But, you're almost too late. The machine is nearing full power. I don't have time to play games.", Clairvoyance's left hoof started to glow, as the entire group was pulled closer to him.

"Prepare to die! Just as I predicted!", but, before Clairvoyance pulled them any closer, they stopped.

"NO! You didn't predict anything right!", Twilight called Clairvoyance out.

"YOU DARE DEFY MY POWER?!", Clairvoyance yelled in anger.

"Yes, I do, in fact! Your power is nothing! All you did was torture innocent ponies to do your bidding! Disarray was a confused pony. She represented the Anger you held so dear for Princess Celestia!", Twilight started.

"The Fear was all your fears and worries of the world. You made other ponies fear you so you wouldn't have to worry about anything anypony did!"

"Storm Harbinger was your coldest thoughts. The power you thought you had. But a simple warming of the heart turned him to stone!", Twilight was yelling towards Clairvoyance. He said nothing.

"Darkshadow was the darkness you hold close to your heart. The resentment. The shadow. Everything you thought you dreamed of was put into Darkshadow. You made him pure evil. As you did everypony else!", Twilight was in full rage and her unicorn horn was glowing.

"And the worst of all.. You made the Pest. To do your biddings. A creature that was made powerful to make us doubt our abilities. But, with us all here, we passed your stupid tests. We made it through all your games. Enough is enough, Clairvoyance. We falsified your predictions. You predicted we wouldn't be here, and now we are here. We're here to stop you. And there's nothing you can do about it!", Twilight's horn shown brightly, stars shooting out of it.

"96 percent.", The machine called.

Twilight was slowly floating in the air, as the stars combined with sparks. A purple and pink glowing ball formed around her. Wario and Waluigi were pulled into it.

"GAAAH!", they yelled in surprise.

The sparks and stars shot out to Clairvoyance's machine. The machine was bolting with energy and it absorbed the magic. Eventually, it gained too much energy.

"Overload. Warning. Overload. Powering down.", The machine's percentage immediately dropped to zero. It finally powered down.

"No! NOOO!", Clairvoyance yelled.

The sparks shot over to Celestia's cage. The magical barriers broke her free, as the sun goddess shone brightly in the room. The magic eventually grew too powerful, and a large light emitted throughout the entire cave. Blinding everypony.

Dragon's Peak -- Clairvoyance's Lair -- Day 7

As everypony came too, they approached Clairvoyance. He no longer had the metal structures supporting him. He just showed his green coat, his large green wings, and his jet black mane now. His yellow eyes stared in fear at Celestia.

"Clairvoyance..", Celestia started. Clairvoyance only backed up against the machine.

"Your crimes against Equestria would normally serve as banishment. But, I think I have use of you.", Celestia smiled lightly.

"You may have almost caused catastrophe, but, your actions were not of your own. You grew resentment for what you thought I did. Instead, I was only trying to help you. That day, in Cloudsdale, was meant to help your future. You took it the wrong way, Clairvoyance.", Celestia smiled a bit bright now.

"Your cutie mark, that shining star, do you know what it means?", Celestia asked.

"I was told.. That it means I was going to use the sun's power and destroy all of Equestria.", Clairvoyance answered.

"No. It means that you'll harness the sun's energy. That was your gift. To use the sun's energy to disperse brilliant power in Equestria. The only renewable resource everypony here has. I'm sorry for what I did. I'm sorry if I may have ruined your dreams. But, look at this device. It can be used for good, Clairvoyance... Or should I say.. Sunny Lights...", Celestia laughed lightly, as she helped 'Sunny Lights' up onto his hooves.

"So.. You're.. Not going to punish me..?", Sunny asked.

"Of course not. Everypony gets a second chance. Now, this is yours. You'll help me, and my sister Luna, develop new energy for all the kingdoms of this planet. You'll be doing a great service to everypony.", Celestia stood beside Sunny, as his yellow eyes gazed over at the group.

"I'm sorry.. For what I did to you all.. I thought.. I thought this was what I was suppose to do. I used my powers for evil.. I'm so sorry.. Please.. Forgive me..", Sunny's head was low to the ground. Twilight moved close to him and lifted his head. Her purple eyes met his yellow eyes.

"We forgive you, Sunny.", she smiled as Pinkie Pie cried like she did during the Nightmare Moon incident.

"OOOH! HEY! You know what this calls for?!", Pinkie Pie jumped up and down.

"A party?", Everypony else smiled and laughed.

"Yeah!!", Pinkie Pie was bouncing up and down now.

"When we get back to Ponyville, we'll throw a celebration. Especially for Wario and Waluigi.", Celestia approached the two. They were staring wide eyed at the goddess.

"Thank you, you two. I know it was a lot for you two to do. But, you have my thanks. And that reward I promised you.. Let's say .. Upon return to your home.. You'll find some.. 'Extra' gold in your house..", Celestia gave a wink. Waluigi and Wario high-hooved each other.

"AW YEAH!", They started bouncing around with Pinkie Pie.

Everypony else just laughed and giggled at the sight of this.

Chapter 10: The Afterparty

Ponyville -- Pinkie Pie's House -- Day 8

Vinyl Scratch was spinning records wildly and everypony was cheering within the house. Vinyl started to flip records around and start to create a strumming beat. Pinkie Pie could only help but jump around.

"Let's give a shout out to Wario and Waluigi! For becoming a hero of Equestria!", Vinyl Scratch yelled in a booming voice.

"YEEEEAAAAH!", Everypony in the house yelled, including 'Roid Pony

Wario and Waluigi were being bounced up and down on the crowd.

"Hip-HIp!", Pinkie Pie called out.

"Hooray!", Everypony else yelled.

"Hip-Hip!"

"Hooray!"

"This is sooo awesome!", Wario yelled with his brother. This was the most fun they've ever had in a lifetime!

But, eventually, parties come to an end. As the night drew closer, all the ponies gathered in the centre of Ponyville. Celestia was there with two large medals for the duo, along with Princess Luna.

"To the heroes of Equestria. Who went out of their world to save us all. I do thank those ponies that joined them, but, without Wario and Waluigi, we wouldn't have survived.", Wario and Waluigi stood proud on the stage, next to Celestia.

There were a few new ponies in the crowd now. Disarray, who was now called 'Dj D-ray', was standing next to Twilight, The Fear, now called 'Skele-hops' -- Now fashionably alive, instead of dead -- was next to Shadowflash, Storm Harbinger was no longer in stone, and was now referred to as 'Heat Soarer', was standing next to Fluttershy, and Darkshadow was now referred to as Lightbringer, and was next to Sunny Lights.

"Thank you, heroes, for saving our world. You're welcome here anytime you choose so. Rub these medallions, and you will leave your world once more, to visit us. We will welcome your presence in open arms.", Celestia smiled, as she bestowed a large, gold, medallion around each of their necks.

"We must send you back now. I hope you enjoyed your stay as much as we did. We'll miss you, Wario and Waluigi.", Celestia kissed both 'heroes' on the cheek. They both blushed and nearly collapsed.

The entire crowd laughed and giggled at this.

"But, I'm not done. My sister, Princess Luna..", Princess Luna looked up at her sister.

"I have a medal for you, too. For going beyond your power. For stressing everything to raise the sun and the moon for me. I thank you so much, my sister. For the world we know it would have been gone without you.", Princess Celestia put a sun-shaped medal around Luna's neck. Luna's eyes went wild with joy.

"Oh, thank thee, sister!", Luna wrapped her arms around Celestia, and Celestia returned with a hug.

"Awwwww..", The crowd went. Everypony in Ponyville was now happy. Including Wario and Waluigi. Who could return whenever they want!

"Well, goodbye, my faithful heroes.", Celesta slowly dawned her horn on the two.

"WAIT!", Wario yelled. Celestia stopped.

"I forgot my Garlic!", Wario ran off the stage quickly and grabbed a large saddlebag -- that was sitting next to the stage -- filled with garlic.

"Okay, got it!", He laughed loudly, as did the crowd.

Celestia finally dawned her horn on the two. They shined brightly in the night. And soon, disappeared from the ponies of Ponyville.

Wario's Castle -- Throne room -- Day 9

"Sirs.. It's good of your return. I recently received a large shipment of gold coins. It was labelled under.. 'Equestria'?", The butler asked the two as they arrived.

"How much was there?", Wario asked.

"About... 100,000,000, sirs.", Wario and Waluigi jumped for joy.

"WOOOHOOO!! They weren't lying! Yeeee-uuuhs!", The butler went wide eyed as Wario and Waluigi started dancing with him.

"Uhm.. Sirs.. Please.. Whoooa!", He was flailed about like a rag doll. After a minute, Wario and Waluigi stared at each other.

"Woohoo! We don't need to work for anyone no more. I'm thinking of a long vacation, don't you?", Waluigi yelled.

"I think our butler deserves a raise!", Wario smiled in delight

"That would be most excellent, sires.", the butler added.

"A raise it is! Woohoo!", Wario and Waluigi ran down the halls of the throne room, jumping up and clicking their heels together in excitement.

Wario's Castle -- Courtyard -- Day 15

"Ah.. This is the life..", Wario said, as he laid back in his chair.

Waluigi nodded, as he laid back on his towel. They were in the courtyard, laying down in the bright sun. The courtyard was filled with hedges that was trimmed to match their faces. It was always sunny in this part of the courtyard.

"Hmm..", Waluigi hummed a thought aloud.

"What's up, Waluigi?", Wario queued a question.

"I think we should visit Equestria again..", Waluigi sighed.

"Why's that, Waluigi?", Wario looked over at Waluigi, on his side.

"Well.. I'm a bit bored. I think we could spare the time. Don't you?", Waluigi and Wario stared at each other, smiling.

"Yeah! To the Medallions!", with that, they bolted to their medallions that were laying in their throne room.

They were locked in a case that only Wario and Waluigi had a key to. They unlocked it and put them on.

"Three.. Two.. One!", Wario and Waluigi rubbed their medallions, and immediately they were teleported to Equestria. To visit their new friends.

Everything turned out perfect for everpony, and everyone. An evil stopped by another evil: The Wario Brothers. What else is better than that? The Wario Brothers will now live their lives: Rich and amazingly happy!

Nothing will stop them now that they can just head to a place of joy and pride. They're always welcomed in the world of Equestria. And will never be let down by those ponies.

________________________________________________________

Dear Princess Celestia,

This past week, I've learned a great many things. I've learned that you need to be able to rely on others for support. It may not be your friends, but it may be an outside force. The Wario Brothers really showed perseverance against Clairvoyance and showed that the magic of friendship goes beyond anything combined. I've made friends with all those ponies we've defeated. Dj D-Ray, Skele-Hop, Heat Soarer, Lightbringer and Sunny Lights. I'm proud to welcome them as my friends. And I'll have another report for you next week, my wonderful Princess.

PS -- Tell Luna thanks.

Your student, Twilight Sparkle.

Underneath the letter, there is a picture of the main six, Spike, Shadowflash, Wario and Waluigi. They're all hugging each other and laughing about in a field of flowers and trees, with a light blue background.

The End
