Book 1:Changing Patternsby natis120ChaptersChapter 1:Changing WindsChapter 2:Changing SceneryChapter 3:Changing EmotionsChapter 4: Changing DestiniesChapter 1:Changing WindsHello my name is Poison Ivy and this is my story. In a land far away from Equestria,lived a changeling queen whose heart was as black as night. Her name was Chrysalis and she had a daughter who was kind and caring,nothing like her. Her name was Poison Ivy. Chrysalis hatted the fact that her daughter was never going to be the evil queen that she was and considered her useless. On her sixteenth birthday,Poison Ivy asked her mother if she could move to Equestria for a change. Sensing an opportunity to get rid of Ivy,Chrysalis said yes. Poison Ivy could not have been any happier. She instantly spread her large wings and took off to Canterlot. Upon reaching Canterlot,Ivy noticed that they were no changelings around and decided to transform into a lilac alicorn. But little did she know that they were only four alicorns in Equestria. Ivy landed near the gates of Canterlot Castle. A unicorn guard looked at Ivy with wide eyes,Ivy hot the guard a deadly glare which only made him stare even more. "What?!" She finally snapped. The guard just stood there for a few seconds before snapping back to reality and opening a door leading inside the castle. "Follow me M'lady." He said before walking inside the door. Ivy shrugged and followed the guard inside the castle. Inside the door it was pitch black but was soon illuminated by the guard's horn. "Come" He said as he walked through a small alley connected to the room they stood in. "If you say so..." Poison Ivy said as she followed the guard into the passage. "So where exactly are we going?" She asked looking at the guard,his horn still glowing in the dark alley. "To the Royal Sisters." He said with a serious expression. Ivy stopped,dead in her tracks. She had heard horrible stories about the so called royal sisters back at the the hive. In one of them,the Royal Sisters defeated her long lost father, King Sombra. "NO," She stomped. "I don't want to see the Royal Sisters,they killed my father!" Her face was lit a bright shade of red from anger and her horn was surrounded by a faint white aura,this went unnoticed by the two ponies. "As long as know,Princess Celestia and Princess Luna have harmed no stallion!" The guard shouted,his brow furrowed. "I never met my father because of them and now they are going to pay for it!" Her horn now shone a blinding white aura. The aura flowed freely and covered her body until her mane and tail were whipping wildly next to her. The guard just stood there,his mouth agape in shock. He finally snapped out of his trance and broke into a gallop to the throne room. Where he finally got to the throne room he swung the doors open to reveal Princess Celestia and Princess Luna having a casual conversation. "You're majesties!" He yelled at the top of his lungs. "I need help,apparently there is a fifth alicorn and she is out of control!" Celestia and Luna both lifted an eyebrow, "And where is this ''out of control alicorn''Flash Sentry?" Princess Luna asked. "In the Canterlot Caves you're majesty."Flash answered. Celestia and Luna looked at each other and nodded. "Stay here,we will deal with this ''fifth alicorn.'' Princess Celestia said. "Yes M'am!" Flash saluted. "Good,now come sister we must see this "fifth alicorn" and have a talk with it." Princess Luna said. The sun princess nodded and ran to the Canterlot Caves,her sister behind. The first thing the sisters heard when they entered the caves were growling noises and screams of pain,then they saw it. The lilac alicorn sprawled in the floor,her mane a tangled mess and a faint white aura surrounded her horn. Princess Celestia gasped and hurried next to the traumatized alicorn. "Calm down," Celestia comforted. "It will be alright." Instantly,the faint glow on Ivy's horn disappeared and she looked up into Celestia's soft eyes. "You..." Ivy gasped. "You killed my father!" Celestia looked back at Luna;who just shrugged;and then back at Ivy. "What ever are you talking about,dear?" Princess Celestia asked softly. "You killed my father!" Ivy repeated. "I heard the stories back at home!" Celestia cocked an eyebrow,"Who is your father?" she finally asked. "King Sombra!" Ivy boomed. "And my mother is Queen of changelings,Queen Chrysalis!" Celestia and Luna both gasped. "So you are the daughter of Queen Chrysalis?" Princess Luna asked with a frown in her lips. "Yes and you are my father's slayer," Ivy boomed. "I demand to know why you banished him!" Princess Celestia nodded and explained. "Your father was a very bad pony. He enslaved thousands of crystal ponies and killed whoever tried to escape from his command." Ivy picked herself up and sat in her haunches. She listened carefully to Celestia. "Ten years ago,King Sombra tried to take over the Crystal Empire again but failed. My former student and her friends defeated him with the Elements of Harmony." She explained. "So my dad was a bad pony,like my mom?" Ivy asked. "Sadly,yes." Princess Luna said,"But enough about Sombra,tell us about you." she pointed to Ivy. "You are clearly no ordinary pony." "Yes I know." Ivy said. "I don't know how to control my powers. Back at the hive,everypony called me names and teased me because every time my powers got out of control,I pulverized somthing." Ivy fell face first to the floor,"I'm useless." she muttered. "You are not useless...umm...what's your name,dear?" Princess Celestia asked. "Poison Ivy." She said,muffled by the floor. "Well Poison Ivy,I will send my guards to escort you to Ponyville so my former student;Twilight Sparkle;can teach you to your powers. I'm sure you will be pleased with the results." Explained Princess Celestia. Ivy got up from the floor and looked into Celestia's soft eyes once again. "But where will I stay?" She asked. "You can stay at her castle,I'm sure she has an extra room you can borrow." Princess Celestia assured. "Follow me to the castle so we can get you cleaned up. Then you can go to Ponyville." Princess Luna said. "Okay," Ivy muttered. "Let's go." Celestia and Luna led Ivy to the castle,where they would get her ready for her trip to Ponyville. Luna took Ivy to her room and let her use her bathroom. "Here..." She said giving Ivy a lavender bottle and a pink one,"This one is for your mane and tail,and this one is for the rest of your body." first she pointed to the lavender one and then to the pink one. "Oh,and when you come out of the shower put this on." Luna said as she handed Ivy a black,long sleeved dress and a pair of gray boots. "And brush your mane and tail when your done." She handed her a brush. Ivy looked at Luna with a big smile,"Thank you so much." she said. "Don't mention it." Luna replied with a wink,"Now go,Tia is waiting for you." she said before closing the door to the bathroom and leaving Ivy alone. A few minutes later,Ivy emerged from the bathroom as clean as ever. Her mane and tail literally sparkled and the black dress looked stunning on her. "Wow," Luna gasped. "Ivy you look amazing!" Ivy blushed,"Thank you Luna." she said. Celestia stood besides Luna,her eyes twinkling in the light. "Take this," She said as she handed Ivy a scroll with a wax seal. "Give it to the lavender alicorn." Ivy nodded and tucked it inside one of the dress's pockets. "Thank you both for everything." She said as she hugged the Royal Sisters. "I'm going to miss you." "Us too." Princess Celestia said,breaking the hug. Celestia and Luna led Ivy to the guards and waved as they took off towards Ponyville. When they were out of sight range,Celestia took out a piece of parchment and a quill. Then,she started scribbling. Dear Twilight Sparkle... Author's Note I'm not sure when the next chapter will be out but I hope you all enjoyed. Chapter 2:Changing Scenery"Spiiiike!" Twilight screamed from her room. "I just received a letter from the princess saying that we are going to have a guest,so I need you to clean this place up while I go get our friends,pronto!" "Whatever..." Spike said from his room. "Ugh!" Twilight moaned,"Okay well don't!" she screamed. "Whatever..." Came the response. Suddenly,a knock came from the castle's front door. "Coming!" Twilight shouted,running down the stairs to the front door. Meanwhile,Poison Ivy waited patiently on the front door. I wander what's taking so long... She wondered. Just then a petite sized lavender alicorn opened the door. "Hello," She said. "May I ask who you are?" "Oh...uh...my name is Poison Ivy and uh...Princess Celestia sent me here..." She said as she fiddled with her pockets,took out a scroll,and gave it to Twilight. "She told me to give you this." Twilight opened the scroll and read silently for a minute,then she closed it and smiled at Ivy. "Oh,I've been expecting you!" She said with a big smile. "Allow me to introduce myself,my name is Twilight Sparkle. But you can call me Twilight." Twilight motioned for Ivy to enter the castle and she did as instructed. Twilight was shocked of how tall Poison Ivy was. She had to look up to see her face! "Wow!" Twilight stared up at Poison Ivy,"You're really tall." she said. Poison Ivy blushed and smiled sheepishly,"Thank you..." she finally squeaked. "Come sit." Twilight said sitting in a couch and patting the cushion next to her. Ivy sat down,she was surprised at how soft the cushion beneath her felt. Just then Twilight cleared her throat and screamed. "Spike! Go get the others,we have a guest!" A teenage dragon came running down the stairs with a giddy smile plastered on his scaly face. "O..." But before the teenage dragon could say anything else,his eyes fell on Poison Ivy and her sleek figure. "W-who is that?" The dragon asked Twilight. "Spike,meet Poison Ivy. Poison Ivy,meet Spike." Twilight introduced. "Hi!" Ivy happily greeted. "Hi..." Spike boastfully greeted. "So um...I'll go get the girls now..." Spike awkwardly said. He walked to the door and before leaving he said,"Bye"and shut the door. Twilight and Ivy chuckled at the sight in amusement. "He has a crush on me doesn't he?" Ivy asked with a smirk. "Obviously,yes!" Twilight snickered. "He used to have a crush on my good friend Rarity,but after she got married and had a filly he got over it." "Who are you're other friends,anyways?" Ivy asked. "Well there is Applejack,Rainbow Dash,Pinkie Pie,Fluttershy, and Rarity;whom I already told you about." Twilight explained, "Oh,and I almost forgot about their families!" she squealed. "Wait wait wait!...are you telling me you're friends all have husbands and children and you don't?!?" Poison Ivy asked,somewhat curious. Twilight stifled a giggle, "Of course I have a husband and a filly,her name is is Starburst and his name is..." but before the alicorn could finish her sentence,the main door swung open and a teenage blonde maned pegasus filly bounced inside,followed by a pink earth pony mare,Spike, and a whole lot of other ponies. "We're here!" Shouted the blonde pegasus. "Wonderful!" Twilight exclaimed. "C'mon Ivy,I'll introduce you to the gang." "Um Twilight? I don't think I can manage to stay calm around so much ponies..." Ivy confessed. "Nonsense!You'll like them right away!" Twilight insisted,"Now come along and say hello!" she tried to push Ivy towards the other ponies,but because of her size she didn't make any progress. In other words she didn't manage to move Ivy an inch. Poison Ivy giggled as she took a step forward,Twilight lost her balance and almost fell but Ivy grabbed her and saved her a nasty bruise. "Thanks for that." Twilight said teasingly. Somepony cleared their throat rather loudly in the background,Ivy and Twilight looked in front of them to see Spike and the other ponies staring at them with smirks on their muzzles. "Uh...guys this is Poison Ivy,Poison Ivy this is the gang." Twilight introduced,"Poison Ivy,why don't you tell us a little about your self?" she recommended. Sweat beaded down Ivy's face as she spoke,"I am a changeling, -Everypony gasped except for Twilight and Spike- my mother is Queen Chrysalis, and I was sent here by Celestia and Luna so Twilight could show me to control my powers,"Ivy continued."since my mom never bothered to show me and I never met my dad." "So let me get this strait,you are a changeling who is disguised as an alicorn and was sent here by Princess Celestia and Princess Luna so Twilight could show you to control you're powers?" The blonde pegasus asked. "Did I miss any?" Ivy looked at the blonde pegasus with wide eyes,"How did you do that?!" she asked. The blonde pegasus shrugged,"I dunno..." she said. The pink earth pony giggled as she leaned into Ivy's ear and whispered,"You get used to it." "Okay!" Twilight said as she clapped her hands together, "How about you guys introduce yourselves to Ivy?" she recommended. The blonde pegasus cleared her throat, "My name is Sugar Rush." she said. "This is my mom Pinkie Pie, -she pointed at the pink earth pony- my dad Cheese Sandwich, -she pointed at a light brown earth pony- and my sister Chocolate Swirl. -she pointed at a teenage soft pink earth pony- Poison Ivy was confused, how come Pinkie Pie, Cheese Sandwich, and Chocolate Swirl were all earth ponies but Sugar Rush? "Um...Sugar Rush...how come your the only pegasus on the family? Are you adopted or something?" She asked. Sugar Rush noticeably flinched upon hearing those words. She lowered her ears as her once bright smile became an ugly scowl. She glared harshly at Poison Ivy. "Daddy's mom is a pegasus. Why do you ask?" Sugar coldly answered. "Do you have a problem with me being a pegasus?!" She presssed her nose to Ivy's. Ivy pushed her off her face. "No I do not..." She growled under her breath. "Are you scared to say the truth?! 'Cause i'm not! I think your a feather-brain!" Sugar harshly insulted. "What did you just say!?!" Ivy yelled as she stood up from her chair. This girl was starting to get on her nerves. Her face was lit a bright shade of red and her horn shone bright white. "I am tired of being called things I am not! I demand for you to stop!" Ivy stomped in anger, her wings buzzing behind her. "What if I don't want to?" Sugar asked with a smirk. "Then I leave!" Ivy snapped. Twilight bit her lower lip in the distance. She observed how Poison Ivy's body reacted to her emotions carefully. Something was wrong here... Chapter 3:Changing Emotions"Poison Ivy!" Everypony in the room looked at the owner of the voice, Twilight herself. Poison Ivy was breathing hard through her nostrils and her horn was still alight with the blinding white aura. She glared harshly towards Sugar Rush. "What?!" She huffed, not taking her eyes off Sugar Rush. "Ivy, you need to calm down!" Twilight pleaded. "Please..." Poison Ivy took her eyes off Sugar Rush and looked at Twilight with a scowl, but somehow her eyes seemed...soft? Ivy took a deep breath, "I'm sorry..." she apologized. Twilight smiled softly and walked towards Poison Ivy, who hung her head low. Twilight put a hand on Ivy's shoulder, "It's fine. We all make mistakes." Twilight comforted. Somehow, it was a lot like when Princess Celestia comforted her in the caves. Ivy looked up and smiled at Twilight. "Thank you." She said, and as soon as she said that the blinding white aura in her horn disappeared. Twilight saw how emotions affected Ivy's magic and made a mental note to help her with that later. Suddenly, Ivy gave Twilight a crushing bear hug and started sobbing on her neck. Twilight was taken aback for a minute by this but soon came back to her senses and returned the embrace to the sobbing young mare. "It's okay, now let it all out." Twilight said as she lightly patted her in the back. "I didn't tell you..." Ivy sniffed. "About what?" Twilight asked in confusion. "About...m-my p-past..." Ivy said in between sobs. "It's m-mom... She always y-yelled at m-me for l-losing control over m-my magic a-and she never e-even helped!" Ivy sobbed even louder. "Who is your mom anyways?" Asked Twilight, stroking her mane gently. "Q-queen Chrysalis..." Ivy cried softly, holding her breath. Twilight gasped and quickly let go of Poison Ivy, giving her a gentle push. This girl was the daughter of the monster who locked her in those old crystal caves! And she was hugging her! "You mean queen of changelings?!" Twilight shrieked. She nodded, "Yes..." she whimpered highly above a whisper. She sat on the floor quietly and dug her head between her knees. Twilight almost gasped again but held her breath as she remembered Ivy's emotional state. She sat next to Ivy and hugged her, "I'm sorry." she said. Ivy looked up at Twilight, her eyes were red and puffy from all the crying and her cheeks were rosy despite the dark color of her fur. "It's fine. We all make mistakes." She said softly. Twilight smiled and ruffled her mane, "Atta girl!" she said. Even in her mood, a smile found it's way into Ivy's mouth. "This brought tears to my eyes!" The two mares looked at the owner of the silky voice, a milk white unicorn mare with a purple curly mane. In her hands she held a silk handkerchief and her soft eyes were moist with tears. "Oh! Rarity, this is Poison Ivy." Twilight introduced, "Poison Ivy, this is Rarity." she finished while getting up with Ivy. "Nice to meet you, darling!" Rarity said while offering her hand. "Um...nice to meet you too.." Ivy said while shaking Rarity's hand. "Okay y'all, what's going on here?" An orange earth pony mare asked. "Oh hey Applejack!" Twilight beamed, "Meet Poison Ivy." she put an arm over Poison Ivy's shoulders. Poison Ivy could feel sweat running down her face, she smiled sheepishly. But inside her head she was hitting herself. Oh great, she said in her mind. More freaks! "Yeehaw! Good gravy Twi, why didn't ya tell earlier! Name's Applejack, nice ta meet ya!" Applejack said, shaking Ivy's hand furiously. Applejack noticed Poison Ivy sweating and commented "Ah don't bite, sugarcube." Ivy nodded and walked to the kitchen, leaving a very confused Applejack behind. Upon reaching the kitchen, Poison Ivy was happy to find that it was empty. She sat in a stool next to the table. "Hey!" Someone said from the door frame. Ivy looked at it and saw Sugar Rush lying against it. "Oh it's just you..." Ivy said putting her head down on the somewhat golden table. "Look..." Sugar Rush started, "I'm sorry. I just can't control myself sometimes." she said wth noticible shame. Poison Ivy lifted her head from the table and looked at Sugar Rush straight in the eyes. Just then she noticed that she was telling the truth. "I...forgive you." Ivy said whith a small smile. Sugar Rush perked up at the words as soon as she heard them. "R-really?" She asked a bit surprised. "Yes." Ivy replied with a nod. "Thank you!" Sugar exclaimed while running to Ivy and embracing her. Poison Ivy was surprised, she thought Sugar Rush was like the little mean changelings she had met back at the hive. "Can we be friends?" Sugar Rush asked, breaking the hug. "Of course!" Ivy said sweetly. And just as she said that, "Sugar Rush!" a shrill voice called out. A teenage blue filly stuck her head into the kitchen door. "Hey Sugar Rush!" The filly greeted, she looked at Ivy for a second and then back at Sugar Rush. "Who's the friend?" She asked. "Oh! Poison Ivy, this is Cloud Puff!" She introduced. " Cloud Puff, this is Poion Ivy." Cloud Puff entered the kitchen with a banana in her hand and a cheesy smile on her face. "Well, well, well. What do we have here?" Cloud Puff taunted. "A newbie flier?" Poison Ivy's smile deflated and a cold expression formed on her muzzle. "I am not a newbie flier, just so you know!" She stated in a strong intimidating tone, her wings flaring out in anger. A faint white aura covered her horn once more. Sugar Rush saw this and hurried after Poison Ivy to stop her from doing something she would regret. "Oh yeah?!" Well prove it!" Cloud Puff yelled. Poison Ivy could fel a smirk curving on her lips. Sugar Rush stomped in between the two. "STOP!!!" She yelled at the the top of her lungs. Cloud Puff stared at Sugar Rush with a frown, "What's the big deal?!" She said angrily. "The big deal is that Ivy can't control her powers, if you make her angry she might accidentaly hurt you!" Sugar Rush explained. "Ahhhhhh!" Sugar looked black at Poison Ivy only to see her curled up on the floor, groaning, and crying in pain. "OMG!" Sugar Rush gasped, "Are you okay Ivy?!" She asked. Poison Ivy just moaned and grinded her teeth together in pain. "Go get Twilight NOW!" Sugar comanded as she sat next to Ivy. Cloud Puff ondeen and ran out of the kitchen to look for Twilight. "Twilight! Twilight!" Cloud Puff cried. Everypony looked at Cloud Puff, who was was wearing a worried expression. "What is it Cloud Puff?" Twilight asked. "Is everything okay?" Cloud Puff shook her head, "Poison Ivy lost control over the magic!" She shakily explained. Twilight's eyes went wide, "Again?!" She asked, a bit shocked. "Yes!" And before Cloud Puff could say anything else, Twilight was off and running to the kitchen, where Poison Ivy and Sugar Rush were. I hope she's okay... Cloud Puff thought. I didn't mean to hurt her... Her thoughts were interrupted by a huff. "What did you do to her?" A cyan pegasus mare with a prism mane asked, slightly raising her eyebrow. "I did nothing..." Cloud Puff said defensively, crossing her arms. "Still it..." The mare said, this time louder. Cloud Puff sighed, "You win mom..." She said looking at the floor in shame. "I got into a fight with her, alright!" She said raising her arms. Author's Note I finally finished this Chapter! Gawd this took me so much time to finish! I hope you enjoyed! I'm not exactly sure when the next Chapter will be out, though. Chapter 4: Changing Destinies"You did what?!" The mare yelled in frustration. "Cloud Puff, I am ashamed of you!" "I'm sorry Rainbow Dash..." Cloud Puff said with a frown, "I'm a loser." She said hanging her head. " No your not!" A while pegasus stallion besides Rainbow said. "Yes I am dad..." Cloud Puff muttered, sniffling and walking to the door, ready to go to her home. The white stallion stepped forward, ready to scold Cloud Puff for her foolish behavior, but a cyan hand stopped him. "Let her go, Soarin." Rainbow Dash said. "I'll deal with her." She walked to her daughter by the door. "Deep breaths, Ivy, deep breaths." Sugar Rush said in a soothing voice to Poison Ivy, who was leaning against her. She took one shaky breath and sighed. "I-i'm s-scared..." Poison Ivy said in a low shuddery tone. A gasp echoed through the kitchen as Twilight quickly ran towards Poison Ivy and Sugar Rush. "What happened here?!" Twilight demanded to know. Sugar glanced at Ivy and then looked at Twilight, who wore a worried expression. "Ivy and Cloud Puff got into a fight and then this happened." She motioned to the shaking mare leaning against her. Twilight thought for a moment and then looked at Poison Ivy, her eyes showed fear. She sat next to her and signaled for Sugar Rush to let them alone for a moment. Sugar Rush got up and walked out of the kitchen. Twilight looked at the shivering mare besides her and frowned. "Poison Ivy, what is going on?" She asked softly while wrapping a wing around Ivy. "The voices...they haunt me..." Poison Ivy said shakily. For once, Twilight was confused. She had never heard of anything like it. "What voices?" She asked, leaning closer. "The voices inside my head...they make me do things..." Ivy said in a whisper. " Things I don't want to do..." She continued. Twilight was now very confused. Voices? That haunt? She was confused alright... "What do they say?" She asked. "Things...horrible things I don't want to do...but I do them anyways...sometimes." Ivy replied. "What do you mean sometimes?" Twilight asked in confusion. "I do not want to do those things, but my body is forced to by my mind...I try to stop it but end up just...modifying them!" Ivy exclaimed, lifting her head and waving her hands in the air dramatically. Twilight's eyes widened in shock. "You can fight commands from your mind?!" She asked in surprise. "I...guess..." Ivy shrugged. "Ivy, this is amazing!" Twilight exclaimed while getting up so fast, she pulled Poison Ivy with her. "You might be the first pony in history to control your mind!" She continued to shout, with a huge smile. Poison Ivy managed to free herself from Twilight's wing and said "I feel dizzy..." before falling to the floor with a loud thunk. The last thing Poison Ivy heard before going unconscious was a shriek and a call for help from Twilight. The world around her went black... Poison Ivy slowly opened her eyes. Everything around her was black, a tall, pure black figure was standing in the the middle of it all. She got up as quickly as she could, "Princess Luna!" Ivy called to the figure feared by all, Nightmare Moon! The grand alicorn turned around completely, looking at Ivy with a fanged grin. "We have been expecting you, Poison Ivy!" Nightmare Moon said in a loud booming voice. Poison Ivy growled under her breath, "Why did you call me here?!" She said through gritted teeth. Nightmare Moon laughed her sinister laugh. "Getting ahead of ourselves aren't we?" She wickedly said. "Why did you call me here!?!" Poison Ivy repeated, this time louder. "Hm, quite an impatient one of I do say so my self." Nightmare said as she glanced at the enraged young changeling. "Anyways, I called you here so you could get a message to your pathetic little pony friends..." Poison Ivy was not know for having patience, "That is?" She asked. "The shadows will rise and they shall rule over Equestria once more!" Nightmare Moon yelled. And as those words were said Poison Ivy awake from her nightmare. Beep...Beep...Beep... That was all that could be heard in the hospital room where Poison Ivy lay motionlessly on the bed. Everypony had their eyes on the three princesses that were present. Luna, that was sleeping soundly on a chair, Celestia, who stood next to Poison Ivy's hospital bed, and Twilight, who was looking at Ivy from a chair with tear stained cheeks. Suddenly, Poison Ivy and Princess Luna awoke at the same time. Both were panting and sweating. "Nightmare Moon is back!" They both said in unison. Celestia and Twilight were both taken back by their words. "Ivy!" Twilight cried, while running up to the young mare in the bed and hugging her. "I was so worried, I thought we lost you!" "Nightmare Moon is coming..." Ivy simply said. "And she told me give you guys this message..." She took a deep breath and continued, "The shadows will rise and they shall rule over Equestria once more." She let it all out in a sentence just like Nightmare did. "It is true..." Everypony turned to look at Princess Luna, who was frowning and wore a sad look on her face. "Nightmare Moon is going to try to take over Equestria once more." She sighted, "And she is going to use Poison Ivy and I to do it..." She finished with a shake of her head. "We must be left alone..." Luna said. "Until the dark magic within us is calm enough." She finished. Celestia looked at Luna and then at Ivy, They both look awfully tired she thought and then nodded. "Rest, both of you..." She said, "Now come along everypony, we must leave them to rest." She walked out of the hospital room with the rest close behind and her former student besides her. "Celestia, what is going to happen with Poison Ivy and Princess Luna?" Twilight asked. Celestia rubbed her temples and sighed. "When it comes to dark magic, it is best to ask Luna. But she is not available, so I will answer your question. Poison Ivy is no ordinary changeling, her father, King Sombra, was evil. And her mother, Queen Chrysalis, is evil too. So when they mated and had Poison Ivy, they both transferred some of their dark magic to her. That magic takes time and practice to control. It's illusion magic." She said. Twilight's eyes were the size of pin pricks, illusion magic was a type of forbidden magic. Author's Note If you have already read the post before this chapter then I bet you are wondering how I posted this. My response is, the internet is back online whoohoo! Hope you guys enjoyed!
Chapter 1:Changing WindsHello my name is Poison Ivy and this is my story. In a land far away from Equestria,lived a changeling queen whose heart was as black as night. Her name was Chrysalis and she had a daughter who was kind and caring,nothing like her. Her name was Poison Ivy. Chrysalis hatted the fact that her daughter was never going to be the evil queen that she was and considered her useless. On her sixteenth birthday,Poison Ivy asked her mother if she could move to Equestria for a change. Sensing an opportunity to get rid of Ivy,Chrysalis said yes. Poison Ivy could not have been any happier. She instantly spread her large wings and took off to Canterlot. Upon reaching Canterlot,Ivy noticed that they were no changelings around and decided to transform into a lilac alicorn. But little did she know that they were only four alicorns in Equestria. Ivy landed near the gates of Canterlot Castle. A unicorn guard looked at Ivy with wide eyes,Ivy hot the guard a deadly glare which only made him stare even more. "What?!" She finally snapped. The guard just stood there for a few seconds before snapping back to reality and opening a door leading inside the castle. "Follow me M'lady." He said before walking inside the door. Ivy shrugged and followed the guard inside the castle. Inside the door it was pitch black but was soon illuminated by the guard's horn. "Come" He said as he walked through a small alley connected to the room they stood in. "If you say so..." Poison Ivy said as she followed the guard into the passage. "So where exactly are we going?" She asked looking at the guard,his horn still glowing in the dark alley. "To the Royal Sisters." He said with a serious expression. Ivy stopped,dead in her tracks. She had heard horrible stories about the so called royal sisters back at the the hive. In one of them,the Royal Sisters defeated her long lost father, King Sombra. "NO," She stomped. "I don't want to see the Royal Sisters,they killed my father!" Her face was lit a bright shade of red from anger and her horn was surrounded by a faint white aura,this went unnoticed by the two ponies. "As long as know,Princess Celestia and Princess Luna have harmed no stallion!" The guard shouted,his brow furrowed. "I never met my father because of them and now they are going to pay for it!" Her horn now shone a blinding white aura. The aura flowed freely and covered her body until her mane and tail were whipping wildly next to her. The guard just stood there,his mouth agape in shock. He finally snapped out of his trance and broke into a gallop to the throne room. Where he finally got to the throne room he swung the doors open to reveal Princess Celestia and Princess Luna having a casual conversation. "You're majesties!" He yelled at the top of his lungs. "I need help,apparently there is a fifth alicorn and she is out of control!" Celestia and Luna both lifted an eyebrow, "And where is this ''out of control alicorn''Flash Sentry?" Princess Luna asked. "In the Canterlot Caves you're majesty."Flash answered. Celestia and Luna looked at each other and nodded. "Stay here,we will deal with this ''fifth alicorn.'' Princess Celestia said. "Yes M'am!" Flash saluted. "Good,now come sister we must see this "fifth alicorn" and have a talk with it." Princess Luna said. The sun princess nodded and ran to the Canterlot Caves,her sister behind. The first thing the sisters heard when they entered the caves were growling noises and screams of pain,then they saw it. The lilac alicorn sprawled in the floor,her mane a tangled mess and a faint white aura surrounded her horn. Princess Celestia gasped and hurried next to the traumatized alicorn. "Calm down," Celestia comforted. "It will be alright." Instantly,the faint glow on Ivy's horn disappeared and she looked up into Celestia's soft eyes. "You..." Ivy gasped. "You killed my father!" Celestia looked back at Luna;who just shrugged;and then back at Ivy. "What ever are you talking about,dear?" Princess Celestia asked softly. "You killed my father!" Ivy repeated. "I heard the stories back at home!" Celestia cocked an eyebrow,"Who is your father?" she finally asked. "King Sombra!" Ivy boomed. "And my mother is Queen of changelings,Queen Chrysalis!" Celestia and Luna both gasped. "So you are the daughter of Queen Chrysalis?" Princess Luna asked with a frown in her lips. "Yes and you are my father's slayer," Ivy boomed. "I demand to know why you banished him!" Princess Celestia nodded and explained. "Your father was a very bad pony. He enslaved thousands of crystal ponies and killed whoever tried to escape from his command." Ivy picked herself up and sat in her haunches. She listened carefully to Celestia. "Ten years ago,King Sombra tried to take over the Crystal Empire again but failed. My former student and her friends defeated him with the Elements of Harmony." She explained. "So my dad was a bad pony,like my mom?" Ivy asked. "Sadly,yes." Princess Luna said,"But enough about Sombra,tell us about you." she pointed to Ivy. "You are clearly no ordinary pony." "Yes I know." Ivy said. "I don't know how to control my powers. Back at the hive,everypony called me names and teased me because every time my powers got out of control,I pulverized somthing." Ivy fell face first to the floor,"I'm useless." she muttered. "You are not useless...umm...what's your name,dear?" Princess Celestia asked. "Poison Ivy." She said,muffled by the floor. "Well Poison Ivy,I will send my guards to escort you to Ponyville so my former student;Twilight Sparkle;can teach you to your powers. I'm sure you will be pleased with the results." Explained Princess Celestia. Ivy got up from the floor and looked into Celestia's soft eyes once again. "But where will I stay?" She asked. "You can stay at her castle,I'm sure she has an extra room you can borrow." Princess Celestia assured. "Follow me to the castle so we can get you cleaned up. Then you can go to Ponyville." Princess Luna said. "Okay," Ivy muttered. "Let's go." Celestia and Luna led Ivy to the castle,where they would get her ready for her trip to Ponyville. Luna took Ivy to her room and let her use her bathroom. "Here..." She said giving Ivy a lavender bottle and a pink one,"This one is for your mane and tail,and this one is for the rest of your body." first she pointed to the lavender one and then to the pink one. "Oh,and when you come out of the shower put this on." Luna said as she handed Ivy a black,long sleeved dress and a pair of gray boots. "And brush your mane and tail when your done." She handed her a brush. Ivy looked at Luna with a big smile,"Thank you so much." she said. "Don't mention it." Luna replied with a wink,"Now go,Tia is waiting for you." she said before closing the door to the bathroom and leaving Ivy alone. A few minutes later,Ivy emerged from the bathroom as clean as ever. Her mane and tail literally sparkled and the black dress looked stunning on her. "Wow," Luna gasped. "Ivy you look amazing!" Ivy blushed,"Thank you Luna." she said. Celestia stood besides Luna,her eyes twinkling in the light. "Take this," She said as she handed Ivy a scroll with a wax seal. "Give it to the lavender alicorn." Ivy nodded and tucked it inside one of the dress's pockets. "Thank you both for everything." She said as she hugged the Royal Sisters. "I'm going to miss you." "Us too." Princess Celestia said,breaking the hug. Celestia and Luna led Ivy to the guards and waved as they took off towards Ponyville. When they were out of sight range,Celestia took out a piece of parchment and a quill. Then,she started scribbling. Dear Twilight Sparkle... Author's Note I'm not sure when the next chapter will be out but I hope you all enjoyed.
Chapter 2:Changing Scenery"Spiiiike!" Twilight screamed from her room. "I just received a letter from the princess saying that we are going to have a guest,so I need you to clean this place up while I go get our friends,pronto!" "Whatever..." Spike said from his room. "Ugh!" Twilight moaned,"Okay well don't!" she screamed. "Whatever..." Came the response. Suddenly,a knock came from the castle's front door. "Coming!" Twilight shouted,running down the stairs to the front door. Meanwhile,Poison Ivy waited patiently on the front door. I wander what's taking so long... She wondered. Just then a petite sized lavender alicorn opened the door. "Hello," She said. "May I ask who you are?" "Oh...uh...my name is Poison Ivy and uh...Princess Celestia sent me here..." She said as she fiddled with her pockets,took out a scroll,and gave it to Twilight. "She told me to give you this." Twilight opened the scroll and read silently for a minute,then she closed it and smiled at Ivy. "Oh,I've been expecting you!" She said with a big smile. "Allow me to introduce myself,my name is Twilight Sparkle. But you can call me Twilight." Twilight motioned for Ivy to enter the castle and she did as instructed. Twilight was shocked of how tall Poison Ivy was. She had to look up to see her face! "Wow!" Twilight stared up at Poison Ivy,"You're really tall." she said. Poison Ivy blushed and smiled sheepishly,"Thank you..." she finally squeaked. "Come sit." Twilight said sitting in a couch and patting the cushion next to her. Ivy sat down,she was surprised at how soft the cushion beneath her felt. Just then Twilight cleared her throat and screamed. "Spike! Go get the others,we have a guest!" A teenage dragon came running down the stairs with a giddy smile plastered on his scaly face. "O..." But before the teenage dragon could say anything else,his eyes fell on Poison Ivy and her sleek figure. "W-who is that?" The dragon asked Twilight. "Spike,meet Poison Ivy. Poison Ivy,meet Spike." Twilight introduced. "Hi!" Ivy happily greeted. "Hi..." Spike boastfully greeted. "So um...I'll go get the girls now..." Spike awkwardly said. He walked to the door and before leaving he said,"Bye"and shut the door. Twilight and Ivy chuckled at the sight in amusement. "He has a crush on me doesn't he?" Ivy asked with a smirk. "Obviously,yes!" Twilight snickered. "He used to have a crush on my good friend Rarity,but after she got married and had a filly he got over it." "Who are you're other friends,anyways?" Ivy asked. "Well there is Applejack,Rainbow Dash,Pinkie Pie,Fluttershy, and Rarity;whom I already told you about." Twilight explained, "Oh,and I almost forgot about their families!" she squealed. "Wait wait wait!...are you telling me you're friends all have husbands and children and you don't?!?" Poison Ivy asked,somewhat curious. Twilight stifled a giggle, "Of course I have a husband and a filly,her name is is Starburst and his name is..." but before the alicorn could finish her sentence,the main door swung open and a teenage blonde maned pegasus filly bounced inside,followed by a pink earth pony mare,Spike, and a whole lot of other ponies. "We're here!" Shouted the blonde pegasus. "Wonderful!" Twilight exclaimed. "C'mon Ivy,I'll introduce you to the gang." "Um Twilight? I don't think I can manage to stay calm around so much ponies..." Ivy confessed. "Nonsense!You'll like them right away!" Twilight insisted,"Now come along and say hello!" she tried to push Ivy towards the other ponies,but because of her size she didn't make any progress. In other words she didn't manage to move Ivy an inch. Poison Ivy giggled as she took a step forward,Twilight lost her balance and almost fell but Ivy grabbed her and saved her a nasty bruise. "Thanks for that." Twilight said teasingly. Somepony cleared their throat rather loudly in the background,Ivy and Twilight looked in front of them to see Spike and the other ponies staring at them with smirks on their muzzles. "Uh...guys this is Poison Ivy,Poison Ivy this is the gang." Twilight introduced,"Poison Ivy,why don't you tell us a little about your self?" she recommended. Sweat beaded down Ivy's face as she spoke,"I am a changeling, -Everypony gasped except for Twilight and Spike- my mother is Queen Chrysalis, and I was sent here by Celestia and Luna so Twilight could show me to control my powers,"Ivy continued."since my mom never bothered to show me and I never met my dad." "So let me get this strait,you are a changeling who is disguised as an alicorn and was sent here by Princess Celestia and Princess Luna so Twilight could show you to control you're powers?" The blonde pegasus asked. "Did I miss any?" Ivy looked at the blonde pegasus with wide eyes,"How did you do that?!" she asked. The blonde pegasus shrugged,"I dunno..." she said. The pink earth pony giggled as she leaned into Ivy's ear and whispered,"You get used to it." "Okay!" Twilight said as she clapped her hands together, "How about you guys introduce yourselves to Ivy?" she recommended. The blonde pegasus cleared her throat, "My name is Sugar Rush." she said. "This is my mom Pinkie Pie, -she pointed at the pink earth pony- my dad Cheese Sandwich, -she pointed at a light brown earth pony- and my sister Chocolate Swirl. -she pointed at a teenage soft pink earth pony- Poison Ivy was confused, how come Pinkie Pie, Cheese Sandwich, and Chocolate Swirl were all earth ponies but Sugar Rush? "Um...Sugar Rush...how come your the only pegasus on the family? Are you adopted or something?" She asked. Sugar Rush noticeably flinched upon hearing those words. She lowered her ears as her once bright smile became an ugly scowl. She glared harshly at Poison Ivy. "Daddy's mom is a pegasus. Why do you ask?" Sugar coldly answered. "Do you have a problem with me being a pegasus?!" She presssed her nose to Ivy's. Ivy pushed her off her face. "No I do not..." She growled under her breath. "Are you scared to say the truth?! 'Cause i'm not! I think your a feather-brain!" Sugar harshly insulted. "What did you just say!?!" Ivy yelled as she stood up from her chair. This girl was starting to get on her nerves. Her face was lit a bright shade of red and her horn shone bright white. "I am tired of being called things I am not! I demand for you to stop!" Ivy stomped in anger, her wings buzzing behind her. "What if I don't want to?" Sugar asked with a smirk. "Then I leave!" Ivy snapped. Twilight bit her lower lip in the distance. She observed how Poison Ivy's body reacted to her emotions carefully. Something was wrong here...
Chapter 3:Changing Emotions"Poison Ivy!" Everypony in the room looked at the owner of the voice, Twilight herself. Poison Ivy was breathing hard through her nostrils and her horn was still alight with the blinding white aura. She glared harshly towards Sugar Rush. "What?!" She huffed, not taking her eyes off Sugar Rush. "Ivy, you need to calm down!" Twilight pleaded. "Please..." Poison Ivy took her eyes off Sugar Rush and looked at Twilight with a scowl, but somehow her eyes seemed...soft? Ivy took a deep breath, "I'm sorry..." she apologized. Twilight smiled softly and walked towards Poison Ivy, who hung her head low. Twilight put a hand on Ivy's shoulder, "It's fine. We all make mistakes." Twilight comforted. Somehow, it was a lot like when Princess Celestia comforted her in the caves. Ivy looked up and smiled at Twilight. "Thank you." She said, and as soon as she said that the blinding white aura in her horn disappeared. Twilight saw how emotions affected Ivy's magic and made a mental note to help her with that later. Suddenly, Ivy gave Twilight a crushing bear hug and started sobbing on her neck. Twilight was taken aback for a minute by this but soon came back to her senses and returned the embrace to the sobbing young mare. "It's okay, now let it all out." Twilight said as she lightly patted her in the back. "I didn't tell you..." Ivy sniffed. "About what?" Twilight asked in confusion. "About...m-my p-past..." Ivy said in between sobs. "It's m-mom... She always y-yelled at m-me for l-losing control over m-my magic a-and she never e-even helped!" Ivy sobbed even louder. "Who is your mom anyways?" Asked Twilight, stroking her mane gently. "Q-queen Chrysalis..." Ivy cried softly, holding her breath. Twilight gasped and quickly let go of Poison Ivy, giving her a gentle push. This girl was the daughter of the monster who locked her in those old crystal caves! And she was hugging her! "You mean queen of changelings?!" Twilight shrieked. She nodded, "Yes..." she whimpered highly above a whisper. She sat on the floor quietly and dug her head between her knees. Twilight almost gasped again but held her breath as she remembered Ivy's emotional state. She sat next to Ivy and hugged her, "I'm sorry." she said. Ivy looked up at Twilight, her eyes were red and puffy from all the crying and her cheeks were rosy despite the dark color of her fur. "It's fine. We all make mistakes." She said softly. Twilight smiled and ruffled her mane, "Atta girl!" she said. Even in her mood, a smile found it's way into Ivy's mouth. "This brought tears to my eyes!" The two mares looked at the owner of the silky voice, a milk white unicorn mare with a purple curly mane. In her hands she held a silk handkerchief and her soft eyes were moist with tears. "Oh! Rarity, this is Poison Ivy." Twilight introduced, "Poison Ivy, this is Rarity." she finished while getting up with Ivy. "Nice to meet you, darling!" Rarity said while offering her hand. "Um...nice to meet you too.." Ivy said while shaking Rarity's hand. "Okay y'all, what's going on here?" An orange earth pony mare asked. "Oh hey Applejack!" Twilight beamed, "Meet Poison Ivy." she put an arm over Poison Ivy's shoulders. Poison Ivy could feel sweat running down her face, she smiled sheepishly. But inside her head she was hitting herself. Oh great, she said in her mind. More freaks! "Yeehaw! Good gravy Twi, why didn't ya tell earlier! Name's Applejack, nice ta meet ya!" Applejack said, shaking Ivy's hand furiously. Applejack noticed Poison Ivy sweating and commented "Ah don't bite, sugarcube." Ivy nodded and walked to the kitchen, leaving a very confused Applejack behind. Upon reaching the kitchen, Poison Ivy was happy to find that it was empty. She sat in a stool next to the table. "Hey!" Someone said from the door frame. Ivy looked at it and saw Sugar Rush lying against it. "Oh it's just you..." Ivy said putting her head down on the somewhat golden table. "Look..." Sugar Rush started, "I'm sorry. I just can't control myself sometimes." she said wth noticible shame. Poison Ivy lifted her head from the table and looked at Sugar Rush straight in the eyes. Just then she noticed that she was telling the truth. "I...forgive you." Ivy said whith a small smile. Sugar Rush perked up at the words as soon as she heard them. "R-really?" She asked a bit surprised. "Yes." Ivy replied with a nod. "Thank you!" Sugar exclaimed while running to Ivy and embracing her. Poison Ivy was surprised, she thought Sugar Rush was like the little mean changelings she had met back at the hive. "Can we be friends?" Sugar Rush asked, breaking the hug. "Of course!" Ivy said sweetly. And just as she said that, "Sugar Rush!" a shrill voice called out. A teenage blue filly stuck her head into the kitchen door. "Hey Sugar Rush!" The filly greeted, she looked at Ivy for a second and then back at Sugar Rush. "Who's the friend?" She asked. "Oh! Poison Ivy, this is Cloud Puff!" She introduced. " Cloud Puff, this is Poion Ivy." Cloud Puff entered the kitchen with a banana in her hand and a cheesy smile on her face. "Well, well, well. What do we have here?" Cloud Puff taunted. "A newbie flier?" Poison Ivy's smile deflated and a cold expression formed on her muzzle. "I am not a newbie flier, just so you know!" She stated in a strong intimidating tone, her wings flaring out in anger. A faint white aura covered her horn once more. Sugar Rush saw this and hurried after Poison Ivy to stop her from doing something she would regret. "Oh yeah?!" Well prove it!" Cloud Puff yelled. Poison Ivy could fel a smirk curving on her lips. Sugar Rush stomped in between the two. "STOP!!!" She yelled at the the top of her lungs. Cloud Puff stared at Sugar Rush with a frown, "What's the big deal?!" She said angrily. "The big deal is that Ivy can't control her powers, if you make her angry she might accidentaly hurt you!" Sugar Rush explained. "Ahhhhhh!" Sugar looked black at Poison Ivy only to see her curled up on the floor, groaning, and crying in pain. "OMG!" Sugar Rush gasped, "Are you okay Ivy?!" She asked. Poison Ivy just moaned and grinded her teeth together in pain. "Go get Twilight NOW!" Sugar comanded as she sat next to Ivy. Cloud Puff ondeen and ran out of the kitchen to look for Twilight. "Twilight! Twilight!" Cloud Puff cried. Everypony looked at Cloud Puff, who was was wearing a worried expression. "What is it Cloud Puff?" Twilight asked. "Is everything okay?" Cloud Puff shook her head, "Poison Ivy lost control over the magic!" She shakily explained. Twilight's eyes went wide, "Again?!" She asked, a bit shocked. "Yes!" And before Cloud Puff could say anything else, Twilight was off and running to the kitchen, where Poison Ivy and Sugar Rush were. I hope she's okay... Cloud Puff thought. I didn't mean to hurt her... Her thoughts were interrupted by a huff. "What did you do to her?" A cyan pegasus mare with a prism mane asked, slightly raising her eyebrow. "I did nothing..." Cloud Puff said defensively, crossing her arms. "Still it..." The mare said, this time louder. Cloud Puff sighed, "You win mom..." She said looking at the floor in shame. "I got into a fight with her, alright!" She said raising her arms. Author's Note I finally finished this Chapter! Gawd this took me so much time to finish! I hope you enjoyed! I'm not exactly sure when the next Chapter will be out, though.
Chapter 4: Changing Destinies"You did what?!" The mare yelled in frustration. "Cloud Puff, I am ashamed of you!" "I'm sorry Rainbow Dash..." Cloud Puff said with a frown, "I'm a loser." She said hanging her head. " No your not!" A while pegasus stallion besides Rainbow said. "Yes I am dad..." Cloud Puff muttered, sniffling and walking to the door, ready to go to her home. The white stallion stepped forward, ready to scold Cloud Puff for her foolish behavior, but a cyan hand stopped him. "Let her go, Soarin." Rainbow Dash said. "I'll deal with her." She walked to her daughter by the door. "Deep breaths, Ivy, deep breaths." Sugar Rush said in a soothing voice to Poison Ivy, who was leaning against her. She took one shaky breath and sighed. "I-i'm s-scared..." Poison Ivy said in a low shuddery tone. A gasp echoed through the kitchen as Twilight quickly ran towards Poison Ivy and Sugar Rush. "What happened here?!" Twilight demanded to know. Sugar glanced at Ivy and then looked at Twilight, who wore a worried expression. "Ivy and Cloud Puff got into a fight and then this happened." She motioned to the shaking mare leaning against her. Twilight thought for a moment and then looked at Poison Ivy, her eyes showed fear. She sat next to her and signaled for Sugar Rush to let them alone for a moment. Sugar Rush got up and walked out of the kitchen. Twilight looked at the shivering mare besides her and frowned. "Poison Ivy, what is going on?" She asked softly while wrapping a wing around Ivy. "The voices...they haunt me..." Poison Ivy said shakily. For once, Twilight was confused. She had never heard of anything like it. "What voices?" She asked, leaning closer. "The voices inside my head...they make me do things..." Ivy said in a whisper. " Things I don't want to do..." She continued. Twilight was now very confused. Voices? That haunt? She was confused alright... "What do they say?" She asked. "Things...horrible things I don't want to do...but I do them anyways...sometimes." Ivy replied. "What do you mean sometimes?" Twilight asked in confusion. "I do not want to do those things, but my body is forced to by my mind...I try to stop it but end up just...modifying them!" Ivy exclaimed, lifting her head and waving her hands in the air dramatically. Twilight's eyes widened in shock. "You can fight commands from your mind?!" She asked in surprise. "I...guess..." Ivy shrugged. "Ivy, this is amazing!" Twilight exclaimed while getting up so fast, she pulled Poison Ivy with her. "You might be the first pony in history to control your mind!" She continued to shout, with a huge smile. Poison Ivy managed to free herself from Twilight's wing and said "I feel dizzy..." before falling to the floor with a loud thunk. The last thing Poison Ivy heard before going unconscious was a shriek and a call for help from Twilight. The world around her went black... Poison Ivy slowly opened her eyes. Everything around her was black, a tall, pure black figure was standing in the the middle of it all. She got up as quickly as she could, "Princess Luna!" Ivy called to the figure feared by all, Nightmare Moon! The grand alicorn turned around completely, looking at Ivy with a fanged grin. "We have been expecting you, Poison Ivy!" Nightmare Moon said in a loud booming voice. Poison Ivy growled under her breath, "Why did you call me here?!" She said through gritted teeth. Nightmare Moon laughed her sinister laugh. "Getting ahead of ourselves aren't we?" She wickedly said. "Why did you call me here!?!" Poison Ivy repeated, this time louder. "Hm, quite an impatient one of I do say so my self." Nightmare said as she glanced at the enraged young changeling. "Anyways, I called you here so you could get a message to your pathetic little pony friends..." Poison Ivy was not know for having patience, "That is?" She asked. "The shadows will rise and they shall rule over Equestria once more!" Nightmare Moon yelled. And as those words were said Poison Ivy awake from her nightmare. Beep...Beep...Beep... That was all that could be heard in the hospital room where Poison Ivy lay motionlessly on the bed. Everypony had their eyes on the three princesses that were present. Luna, that was sleeping soundly on a chair, Celestia, who stood next to Poison Ivy's hospital bed, and Twilight, who was looking at Ivy from a chair with tear stained cheeks. Suddenly, Poison Ivy and Princess Luna awoke at the same time. Both were panting and sweating. "Nightmare Moon is back!" They both said in unison. Celestia and Twilight were both taken back by their words. "Ivy!" Twilight cried, while running up to the young mare in the bed and hugging her. "I was so worried, I thought we lost you!" "Nightmare Moon is coming..." Ivy simply said. "And she told me give you guys this message..." She took a deep breath and continued, "The shadows will rise and they shall rule over Equestria once more." She let it all out in a sentence just like Nightmare did. "It is true..." Everypony turned to look at Princess Luna, who was frowning and wore a sad look on her face. "Nightmare Moon is going to try to take over Equestria once more." She sighted, "And she is going to use Poison Ivy and I to do it..." She finished with a shake of her head. "We must be left alone..." Luna said. "Until the dark magic within us is calm enough." She finished. Celestia looked at Luna and then at Ivy, They both look awfully tired she thought and then nodded. "Rest, both of you..." She said, "Now come along everypony, we must leave them to rest." She walked out of the hospital room with the rest close behind and her former student besides her. "Celestia, what is going to happen with Poison Ivy and Princess Luna?" Twilight asked. Celestia rubbed her temples and sighed. "When it comes to dark magic, it is best to ask Luna. But she is not available, so I will answer your question. Poison Ivy is no ordinary changeling, her father, King Sombra, was evil. And her mother, Queen Chrysalis, is evil too. So when they mated and had Poison Ivy, they both transferred some of their dark magic to her. That magic takes time and practice to control. It's illusion magic." She said. Twilight's eyes were the size of pin pricks, illusion magic was a type of forbidden magic.
