Putting the Nightmare Down

Nightmare moon looked enraged by what Daniel had said but he did not flinch as he kept his sights on nightmare moon and remained unmoving.

"You Would dare insult royalty?" "I will see to it you are taken care off." With that she fired a beam of magic at Daniel who just sidestepped and avoided it with ease, everyone seemed to be amazed at what he just did.

"Did you truly think I would just stand there and take the hit? If so then not only are you pathetic but stupid too." Daniel was still looking and NM who was also looking at him in surprise and then he looked around and saw that the faces of all the ponies looking at him were just like NM's, like something they have never seen before. "What?" After he said that twilight walked up to him.

"Cosmos...How did you do that? Even I could not keep track of that attack fast enough to avoid it?" Now he started to wonder if fast for them was normal to him as he could easily keep track of that attack and it took almost no effort to avoid.

"Twilight, sometimes I do things that I can't explain, that and I have always had fast reflexes." It was true that when he was back home he would usually do silly stuff just because he felt like it which was odd if you consider the fact that most times he needed to have a reason to do something. With that out of the way he turned back to NM only to be hit back by another blast and was sent through the wall of the building.

"Ha, how that for pathetic!!!?" NM shouted and all the ponies were now looking back at NM with fear while twilight was still looking at the wall where Daniel was blasted through but before NM could say anything.

"You are more pathetic than I thought as you needed me to be distracted." Daniel picked himself out of the rubble and stood up still looking at NM the same way, he had a burned hole in the front of his hoodie and had another visible injury that looked to be a burn in the spot her spell hit him at but the burn was not that serious and NM saw this but Daniel started speaking first. "Here is something for you to think about, what is royalty without any subjects? The answer. A normal pony, nothing special, Just like you." Daniel was about to attack NM but was stopped when guards tried to capture her to which nightmare moon hit them away with lightning and them disappeared in her own mist out of the town hall, Daniel then walked back to his sister. "Don't worry strawberry, everything will be ok." He then turned back to twilight. "You said the elements are needed, do you know anything that might give a clue about there location?" But twilight did not reply to his question and just looked at him which freaked him out. "What?"

"What, What, WHAT!!!? What do you mean what, you just insulted nightmare moon, avoided a attack from her that I could not have avoided and took a direct hit from her but got up from it like it was nothing!!! Cosmos.....how did you do that?" Her voice sounded like it had more surprise than worrie in it, so he thought of a excuse to tell them and quickly found one.

"I don't want to talk about it, but I will say this, I managed avoid her attack because I have been training, I have already told you me and my sister had to live in the everfree while we were on our way here from our home so I had developed good reflexes while we lived there, that's how I avoided her attack. As for how I took her attack, I have taken some heavy hits in the past, some while I was in the forest, and got used to the pain so that's how her attack seemed to do nothing, but it still did hurt." He made his story sound realistic and was also being truthful as some of the injuries he got while he was in the forest was from his training but those were almost non existent and healed fast, if he was normal then it would be a totally different story. As he said his expiation twilight's face of surprised seemed to turn into one of understanding.

"Ok, I wont pester you about it, but you are right, we need to get the elements." Daniel and Annabelle followed twilight as she was heading back to the library carrying spike who was still asleep.

When they were back at the library twilight was putting spike to bed.

"We need to stop nightmare." He fell back to sleep after he said that as twilight levitated his covers over him and placed them over him.

"You have been up all night spike, You are a baby dragon after all." She then turned the light off and walked out of the room to find Daniel looking along the sections of books, he looked at twilight.

"Are you sure there will be a book about them here?"

"I am certain there will be something about them." Twilight then started helping him look for a book on the elements, but instead of just looking across the sections she was throwing book out and around the place. "Elements, elements, elements. Ugh, how can we stop Nightmare moon without the elements of harmony?" She was holding different books with her magic one at a time and flipped through the pages of some very rapidly like she was doing a full search and not a precise one so he went over to the E section to look for a book about them there. Daniel had a thought and after it he was more determined than ever to deal with NM as if she was going to keep it night time forever as twilight says she is then the diamond dog and timberwolf who were just starting to make peace between themselves would be affected as the trees would die from lack of sunlight which means the timberwolfs were probably also in danger and it would be a shame if the alliance ended so soon, the same went for the ponies as they would not be able to grow there food and would starve, all this remained him of how he lost his home, of how it was consumed by darkness, the darkness of the negative universe. He decided to carry through with his plan and help twilight find these elements and if that failed then he would deal with NM by himself in his shadow form.

"And just what are the elements of harmony? And how did you know about nightmare moon, hug? Are you a spy?" Rainbow asked this while flying with her face right up at twilight, looking at her with angry eyes but at the end of her question she was pulled on the tail away from twilight by applejack who then let her go.

"Simmer down sally. She ain no spah, but she sure knows what goin on. Dontch twalaght?" She asked her but at the same time there was the others Daniel and twilight had met before except for the one with both purple hair and tail and a white coat. Twilight did not seem to be scared that they all were looking at her for a answer.

"I read all about the prediction of nightmare moon, some mysterious objects called the elements of harmony are the only things that can stop her, but I don't know what they are. Where to find them, I don't even know what they do." Daniel was starting to wonder just how innocent these ponies were, though he his merged with the HOTU which according to what NOC had told him gives almost omnipotent power within the realms of the living but he could still be killed from losing to much blood and a very few other ways so if he could get killed when merged with something like that then these elements are most likely certainly not the only things that could stop NM.

"The elements of harmony, a reference guide." They all looked over to the voice and it was Daniel who had just found the book on one of the shelves but was quickly knocked out of the way when twilight rushed over and looked to where he was looking.

"Cosmos, How did you find that?"

"You truly did not think they would be under the E section for Elements?" he asked with a raised eyebrow after picking himself up to which twilight just had a smile that seemed to be one of embarrassment and Daniel just shook his head then she levitated the book out and started to read it.

"There are six elements of harmony, but only five of them are known. Kindness, Laughter, generosity, honesty and loyalty. The sixth is a complete mystery. It is said that the last know location of the five elements was in the ancient castle of the royal sisters. It is located in what is now.." She paused, gulped and looked at the others before she finished "The everfree forest." to which all except Daniel and Annabelle gasped as twilight turned back to the book. "It is currently unknown how many elements that represent harmony there truly is as the sixth element appeared to princess celestia sometime after the other five were found so there may be more elements that represent harmony that have yet to be discovered." With that she put the book back. "Alright then, lets go." but when she turned around the others were looking at Daniel who was looking at them.

"What?" He asked but then rainbow dash flew up to his face.

"What do you mean what? Cosmos you insulted nightmare moon without so much as a shiver of fear, took a hit from her but just got back up from it and now you are not scared of going into the everfree forest, what is wrong with you?" He looked back at twilight and nodded.

"You may not all know this but Cosmos and his sister strawberry are not from equesrtia, but there have been lots of ponies that have come to equestria from different land so cosmos is no different, while him and his sister were moving to ponieville they lived in the everfree for a while and during there time there he took some heavy hits while they lived there from the monsters, so cosmos probably has no fear of the everfree as he has been in there before and for him having no fear of nightmare moon is either that he has seen worse while in that forest or he does not know what she is." All the others looked at Daniel while he just smiled. "Now that's out of the way lets go." and with that they went to the everfree, Annabelle was wanting to come along but Daniel insisted that she stayed her as it was more safe for her and even though she did not like it she still agreed.

While they were walking the other unicorn that Daniel did not meet was talking with him and he found out from twilight that her name was rarity.

"I must say darling where did you get such clothes?" She was examining them along the way but that question caused Daniel to look away from her before replying.

"They were given to me from my mother." This was true as when he first wore this kind of hoodie he love how comfy it was but he ended up asking his mom for another one when the first one got to small.

"If you don't want to talk about it then I wont pressure you, but I ask will you let me take there measurements and use there kind of designee?" Daniel just refused as if he was to give her them then they would likely see his mark.

"I'm sorry miss rarity but I prefer to keep these on." After that rainbow dash who was still flying turned around and looked at him.

"Why do you want to keep them on anyway?"

"Why do you fly all time?" "You like to, is that it?" "The same with me and why clothes."

"Alright I wont ask anymore." She seemed to be annoyed but soon stopped flying and landed when they reached the entrance to the everfree forest where they all looked at it with fear.

"Weee, Lets go." When pinkie said that she started to walk towards the forest.

"Not so fast." The moment twilight said that she stopped dead in her tracks. "Look I appreciate the offer, but Id really me and cosmos do this on our own." Daniel looked at twilight.

"Why do you want me to go with you?"

"You lived in here so you should have knowledge of it that will be useful and back at the library, you were able to think calmly and straight while under pressure." He shook his head.

"I was not under pressure, you just didn't stop to think." Twilight glared at him and he just grinned, a few seconds later she sighed knowing Daniel was right.

"Well then, lets go." She was stopped by applejack.

"When all this is done I need to check on the A.I that I made and perhaps give it a name, but what?." They all agreed at something applejack said but Daniel missed and started to go towards the forest.

"Especially if there is candy apples in there." Twilight and Daniel were looking at pinkie who just looked at them. "What? Those things are good." With that she started to walk into the forest to, Twilight looked at Daniel.

"I hope everything turn out alright." The two of them went into the forest then.

A few minutes later they seemed to be somewhat lost, there was still a dirt path to follow and if Daniel remembered right then this would lead to the castle but the fact that this place looked very different when it was dark was almost enough to make him feel like he was lost.

"So, besides Cosmos, none of you have been in here before?" Twilight was at the head of the group followed by Daniel, rarity, applejack, fluttershy, pinkie and rainbow in that order.

"Heavens no, just look at it, its dreadful." Daniel did not see what was so wrong with the forest as it was just like what a one should be like, only on a different planet.

"And it aint natural, folks say it don't work the same as equestrian." Now he was curious but twilight bet him to the question.

"What's that supposed to mean?"

"Nopony knows." Daniel was seriously getting annoyed of hearing that word. "You know why?" She seemed to be acting like a predators that was sneaking up on pray.

"Rainbow, quit it." He heard applejack say.

"Because everypony whose ever come in, has never come out!" Daniel loudly cleared his throat to which rainbow looked at him. "Oh, sorry about that. Everypony who ever has before Cosmos has never come back out." She said to the others before looking back at Daniel who just rolled his eyes. The cliff gave out and only rainbow and fluttershy managed to take flight. "Fluttershy, quick!" He heard rainbow say. While rainbow and fluttershy were getting the others who were scared, He on the other hand was actually having fun, he was in a way he was almost sitting down with all 4 of his hoofs out in front and using his them to steer himself, to him it was like a snow slid at night only without the snow the other also heard him laugh until he saw a cliff a the bottom to which he slammed his hoofs into the ground which made his stop safely but the force of the speed was still carried and Daniel feel on his face, after he picked himself up and looked at the cliff to see applejack holding twilight and he started to go towards them carefully so he did not slide off.

"Applejack what do I do?" He was still making his way towards them.

"Let go." He stopped in surprise wondering if she was crazy.

"Are you crazy?"

"No ah aint, ah promise youle be safe."

"That's not true."

"What im saying to you, is the honest truth. Let go and you'll be safe." Twilight let go a second later to which she was caught by both rainbow dash and fluttershy who then slowly lovered her to the ground and applejack started to go down to the ground down below by jumping on platforms, to which Daniel followed.

"Well then lets go, the sooner nightmare moon is stopped, the better." Twilight told the others and then they all continued on the path.

Nothing eventful happened for a few more minutes of walking but Daniel was trying to take in his surroundings, he was to busy scouting out this forest before, flying over it or helping others within it that he forgot what a walk through one was like, peaceful, fresh clean air, from what he knew off in movie and some comic books is that it was the little things in life that is sometimes what that was missed the most, He soon pushed himself out of the little zone to focus on the task at hand and he never realised that rainbow was talking.

"-And once pinkie and rarity were safe, me and fluttershy loop de looped around and wham, gotcha right in the nick of time." While she said this she was flying at first until she span sideways and landed on the other side of twilight.

"Yes rainbow, I was there, and I am very grateful but we got to-" She said unamused but was cut of by a thump. "A manticore." The creature then let out a roar and Daniel was wondering if he was going to need to fight this thing. "We got to get passed him." It leaped at rarity and tried to hit her but she just avoided it and kicked it in the face.

"Take that you ruffian." However it just roared in her face for a few seconds and by the end of it she had a new hair style that was all puffy. "My Hair." She shouted before seeing the manticore again and running off. Daniel wondered how she saw what her hair was like or why that manticore just stood there looking at her the full time but now it started to chase rarity but after a few seconds applejack jumped on its head.

"Yee-ha, het along little doggie." applejack seemed to be riding the manticore like a horse, Daniel was not quite sure what he was looking. The creature kept running around and jumping until it finally got applejack off of it and as she flew with he back facing the ground she looked at rainbow dash with a face that looked like she was having fun. "All you're partner."

"Am on it" rainbow said with a military salute and charged at the manticore to which she started to rapidly spin around it in a rainbow tornado only to get smacked away with its tail close to the others.

"Rainbow!" Twilight and the others were not all glaring at the manticore and by the looks of how they were standing they were getting ready to charge and after a few seconds later they did, except pinkie who was hopping instead of running while Daniel just watched.

"Wait!!!" Fluttershy shouted and place herself between the others and there target, then she turned to the manticore and walked towards it, it growled and looked like it was about to strike her but what stopped when she nuzzled its other paw. "Shhhh, it's ok." To this it looked at its paw and then showed it to fluttershy to which it had what looked like a thorn stuck in it. "Oh you poor poor little baby." The others were just watching but had no readable expression on there face from what Daniel could tell.

"Little?" Rainbow question and he sort of agreed that if this was a child one then what would a adult look like.

"Now this might hurt for just a second." Fluttershy then grabbed the thorn with her mouth and removed it but the moment she did that it had her between both its paws and roared again. But then started licking her and purring while she was giggling. Daniel felt like he was going to throw up.

"Ok, now I am sure that this world will be the death of me, me and Annabelle need to find another planet. All these mythical creatures and niceness is to much and its like something out of a cartoon. Why could I not have been transported to a world like middle earth in lord of the rings, I would take that rather than here any day of my life. Making that pocket dimension is now my priority one task."

"Cosmos, You ok?" He was snapped out of thought when twilight asked him that and he saw that the others were quite a bit ahead, the manticore was gone and she was looking at him with a bit of worry.

"I am fine twilight, I was just thinking."

"Oh, ok, well we should get going." He nodded and continued along the path.

The continued along the path and the others were talking but Daniel was not paying attention about what they were saying.

"If the pocket dimension fails or if we are discovered to early for me to finish it then then our next option would perhaps be to find a new planet to live on, I hope it does not come to that as Annabelle was hopping along happily most of today and I don't want to take that happiness away from her. Ok, if I get discovered I will see what they do, if they are nice we will stay, if not we are going to go but if it turns out they are mean then I want Annabelle to be happy here as long as possible, so I wont tell them until I totally trust them." There was a scream from the girls and Daniel was snapped out of his thoughts to see there was a timberwolf who was growling at them, Daniel wondered why a timberwolf was here.

"Girls, be careful." Twilight said and they all got read to fight, except fluttershy who was hiding at the back of them scared. The wolf jumped at them only to be kicked to the side by rainbow dash but more of wolfs seemed to be coming out of the trees and bushes and soon they were surrounded.

Daniel decided to join the fight and hit a wolf, avoided two more that tried to pounce on him before hitting them away and turning to a larger wolf with red eyes, he remembered he saw one of these wolfs before at the main citadel and they were guarding king Thag.

"I take it you must be the leader of this pack?" Daniel asked but this was just a guess as it was the only wolf that was different.

"Silence pony." The wolf shouted and jumped at Daniel who just went on his back and used his back legs to kick the wolf away. It was lying on the ground and was struggling to get up. All the other wolfs backed away from Daniel and the girl were just watching him in suprise.

"Why did you attack us?" He asked in a normal voice but they were all staying silent and Daniel was getting annoyed until he heard the bushes at the side shake and turned around to see three cubs looking scared at the wolf Daniel had kicked. "They were just protecting there young and thag did say there was other nests around the forest so there might be one close by and with that they must have seen us as a threat." The other adult wolfs tried to hide the cubs from Daniels sights and while this was happening the girls were cheered him.

"Way ta go Cosmos." Applejack said.

"Yeh, not I can see how you survived in here." Rainbow cheered

"Ok, they are not attacking us, lets go, we need to stop nightmare moon." Twilight said the she and the others started to walk away but Daniel did not move and kept looking at the leader he had knocked down. "Cosmos, we need to go." Twilight said, he turned to look at her to see she and the others were looking at him but he just looked back to the injured wolf and approached it.

"Need help?" The girls gasped at this and the wolf was looking at him confused.

"You.....are helping me, why?" Daniel changed his gaze to the cubs.

"You were just trying to protect you're young, you thought we were a threat and I don't blame you, now, do you need help?" He asked extending his hoof towards the wolf who just looked at it for a few seconds before taking it and being helped to his feet.

"You show mercy that I have never seen before for my kind, Why?"

"You should know me, I am the human who helped king thag. I am just in a different form." He whispered and the wolf's eyes slightly widened in surprise. Daniel decided to reply so the others could hear. "You were only protecting you're young from what you saw as a threat, I would appreciate it if you would not just jump to conclusion." "Now can we continue? We need to stop nightmare moon." The red eyed wolf nodded to the other wolfs and they moved aside.

"Good luck and Thanks." The rest of the pack disappeared back into the trees. Daniel turned back to the girls whos jaws were yet again touching the ground.

"What? Did you serious think that I did not pick up a few perks from living in the forest for a while?" They snapped out of there shock but Daniel just kept walking.

"Cosmos, How did you do that?" Twilight asked after she caught up with him.

"Do what?"

"Reasoned with those timberwolfs."

"I just looked at the situation, they attacked us but they was also there young close by so I put two and two together. But that's for another time, if nightmare moon is not stopped soon then the plants will start to die which will be bad as it could cause a food shortage."

"You're right." With that they continued along the path.

At they continued to go along the path Daniel started to wonder why nightmare moon has not tried to stop them yet because if the elements are the only things that she fears then why is she not trying to stop them, if she is then she is not very good, if not then what is she doing.

"My eyes need a rest from all this icky muck." The moment she said that the moonlight was blocked off. "Well I didn't mean that literally." But Daniel could still see clearly even in this darkness, he wondered if he should disappear now, change to his shadow form and beat nightmare moon, but he chose not to as if these elements would take care of NM then it would save him a chance of getting caught and if nightmare moon is luna as King Thag said then he might draw suspicion to his shadow form since it has apparently been 1000 years since luna has seem it, 1000 years and a strange creature still being alive would more than likely cause some investigation so he would only use it against NM as a last resort, if twilight and the other seem him in his shadow form he would not mind, as long as they don't see him change into it or back from it.

"That ancient ruin could be right in front of our faces and we wouldn't even know it." There was argument amounts them until only applejack talked.

"Oh wait, ah think ah stepped in somehin." Fluttershy then screamed.

"Its just mud." But when applejack turned around she saw a tree with a face and sharp teeth which caused her to jump back screaming. They all looked around the place and there was lots of different faces in lots of trees but Daniel was not freaked out as this was nowhere near as scary as amnesia or some horror movies he has seen before, however if these trees could move then he would perhaps be scared but because they could not it was not all that scary. However he had to cover his ears as the girls were all screaming, all but one who managed to stop them screaming with a laugh, it was pinkie and she was making face back at one of the trees while laughing.

"Pinkie, what are you doing run!" He wondered why they were not doing the same.

"Oh girls, don't you see." Music was starting to play from nowhere and it was freaking Daniel out.

"Heck no, If this world is to nice normally then the music must be awful" Daniel heard pinkie start to sing and I was indeed awful to him. "Screw this." With that he set his powers back to use by thought and altered space around his ears and was relived he now heard nothing, he stood there just looking at what pinkie was doing but could not hear her and to a extent he was ok with that. He saw that one by one the others were also laughing at the trees they were terrified of a few seconds ago and when they were all on the ground laughing he removed the space barrier he made around his ears and set his powers back to use of will, he stood there while the others were on the ground laughing but soon stopped when they saw him looking at them.

"Should we not be dealing with Nightmare moon?" They all got up still laughing.

"Cosmos lighten up." Pinkie said and with that they continued on the path to the old castle.

Along the way they were all still laughing and pinkie pie was in front and Daniel was in the back, they stopped when they arrived at a river.

"How are we going to cross this?" The water in the river was going at insane speeds and a little after pinkie pie asked that they heard what sounded like sobbing, they well looked at the river from behind a bush and saw a sea serpent in the water with hair and a moustache with one end cut off. Daniel was now starting to wonder if most creatures on this world were like this.

"What a world, What a world." By the sound of his voice he was male and he said the second part and slammed the water at the same time.

"Excuse me sir, why are you crying?" Daniels mind started to wonder again as this is another mythical creature he has come across so curiosity got the best of him.

"Hey NOC, if you can tell me, what are the main creatures are that I should know of that live in this world that are then most close to equestrian?"

"Ponies, Griffins, Minotaurs, sea serpents, dragons, zebras and Changelings." Daniel not had another question.

"What is a changeling?"

"They are like ponies but all of then have dark skin and pure blue eyes, except there royalty as they have pure green eyes, they are also shape shifters however when they are in another form they have difficulty changing there eyes and will always have a green coloured magic aura, they feed of off emotions and there society is a bit like bees at they make hives. They can both fly and use magic however there strength that they , mostly there magical strength mainly comes from how well fed they are."

Daniel lost track of time as he was snapped out of when he heard something hit the ground and looked over to see rarity who had just cut off her tail and used the cut of part to replace the serpents cut moustache who then started to act cheerful.

"My moustache, how wonderful."

"You look smashing." Twilight then spoke.

"Oh rarity, you're beautiful tail." Rarity turned around to twilight.

"Oh, its fine by dear, short tails are in this season, besides it will grow back." Twilight then looked happy as the river seemed to have calmed down.

"We can cross now." As she was going to cross the river the serpent made a bridged for them across the river.

"Allow me" He said and allowed the others to cross on his back.

After a few more minutes of walking Daniel saw the castle in the distance.

"There it is, the ruin that holds the elements of harmony. We made it." Twilight had a very happy look on

her face and ran towards the castle with applejack asking her to wait for them. "Were almost there." The moments she said that she almost fell down into whatever was below, she would have if rainbow dash did not get her by her tail in time.

"What's with you and falling off cliffs today?" There were all looking at the bridge which was destroyed.

"Now what?" Pinkie asked.

"Duh." Rainbow said flapping her wings, flew down to the other end of the bridge, grabbed it and took it to the other side.

When she was at the other side Daniel was hearing her talk to someone.

"Who is she talking too?" Daniel thought.

"A illusion by nightmare moon."

Daniel waited to see how this would play out, after dash mentioned something about the wonderbolts, saying yes a few times, after some long pauses and a little encouragement from twilight she finally tied the bridge and Daniel heard her say that her answer is no to whatever she was talking to and then flew back to them and the others cheered.

"See, I never leave my friends hanging." With that they all entered the castle to which they saw some spheres on edges that were on what looked like some kind of statue and one of them gave a wow.

"Come on twilight, isn't this what you've been waitin for?" Applejack asked as twilight approached the statue.

"The elements of harmony. We've found them" Daniel was wondering if these rocks were artefacts or if they were within them. The rocks were perfectly round and each had a shape on them. Rainbow dash and fluttrshy were now lifting them down to the ground. "Careful." twilight tolled them and pinkie started counting.

"One, two, three, four, theres only five." Fluttershy brought the last on down.

"Where's the sixth?" Asked rainbow dash.

"The Book said, When the five are present a spark will cause the sixth element to be reviled."

"What in the hey is that supposed to mean." Applejack asked. Daniel was now hearing horse puns and it was actually starting to make him hate this world more but decided to give it a chance and not judge right away.

"I'm not sure but I have a idea, stand back, I don't know what will happen." All the others stood back, so did Daniel and twilight started her magic, the others left but Daniel stayed behind with twilight and was watching what she was doing until he saw the same kind of mist that nightmare moon used back at the town hall and watched it carefully, it wend over to the elements and started to make a tornado and while this was happening twilight was so focused on her spell she did not notice it until she opened her eyes to see it and screamed in surprise and Daniel herd the others call her name from outside while the blue tornado was getting bigger inside.

"I need to get them, if the others can use them to beat nightmare moon then it will spare me from trying and it could also keep me and Annabelle's identities a secret." With that thought Daniel ran towards the tornado.

"The elements." Twilight and Daniel jumped in at the same time and disappeared then repapered in another section of the castle and both saw nightmare moon holding the elements with her hair and giggling, twilight looked like she was about to charge.

"You're kidding? You're kidding right? However this might be some fun, you were strong enough to give my teleportation magic quite a bit of difficulty." Daniel was sure that was actual supposed to be directed towards him as NOC did say the radiation he had makes him immune to all but the strongest of magic users and creatures but will still give them trouble when they use spells on him, however in an exchange for that insane resistance to magic he cant use magic too and his own resistance stops him from using it.

Twilight started to charge at NM with her horn glowing and NM charged at her too but before the collided twilight teleported to the throne the stones of the elements were sitting on and started to use her magic to do something with then but when NM saw this she turned into the mist and went towards twilight who was soon knocked quite a bit away after NM repapered, the stones were acting up as they has what looked like electricity going between them and moon looked terrified while twilight looked happy but a second later the stones stopped making the electicity and wend back to normal. This caused twilight to gasp.

"But...where's the sixth element?" Moon was laughing the whole time before standing up on her two back legs and smashing them to bits, twilight just sat there looking devastated.

Daniel decided that now was the time for action, he change his powers back to use of thought, altered space around him to look like nothing was happening but in reality Daniel had changed into his shadow form and made a clone of himself in his pony form that he could return to at will, the real Daniel then hid behind a pillar.

"You little foal, thinking you could defeat me, now you will never see you princess again, the night will last FOREV-" Moon was cut off when Daniel got a surprise attack on her but kicking her on her side, she quickly recovered but the moment she saw what she did, her face changed from one of anger to one of complete shock as standing in front of her was the same creature that had attacked her 1000 years ago before she became what she was today and it was glaring at her with those eyes she remembered easily all the while twilight was looking in total shock as nightmare moon actual seemed to be a little afraid. "How are you still alive after all these years creature?" Moon was not cheery or confident she had shock and fear in her voice. "Last time we battle you got luck, I will NOT HOLD BACK!!!" With that she launched a large beam at Daniel who avoided it, rushed forwards and kicked her in the stomach and that caused her to cough up blood and Daniel got ready for another attack.

He stopped when he heard the others approaching the area they were in and twilight gasped before turning around and facing nightmare moon.

"You think you can destroy the elements of harmony just like that? Well you're wrong, because the spirits of the elements of harmony...are right here." All the others were now beside twilight and Daniel had blended into the shadows before twilight turned back around so he was now hidden, he was curious as to why twilight was suddenly so confident but either way he decided to watch and soon the bits that were left of the destroyed stones started floating.

"Applejack who reassured me when I was in drought represents-" Daniel was not going to listen to this if it was another Disney kind of speech so he remade the barriers around his ears, he watched as the rocks floated around applejack, then fluttershy who seemed to be very nervous, the same happened to pinkie who seemed to jump happily at the rocks floating around her, the same happened to rarity and then rainbow dash. After they appeared around rainbow dash he removed the barriers around his ears he heard what was getting said once more.

"You still don't have the sixth element, the spark didn't work." He heard NM say but she looked confused, why would she be confused if the spark did not work which would mean that the elements would not be complete, should she not be happy?

"But it did a different kind of spark." Daniel put up the barriers once again.

"How long is this going to go on for?" Twilight turned around and looked at all the others and seemed to be crying. When she turned back around to face nightmare moon he removed the barriers to hear again, it was then that two other stones orbs appeared up above her one went to twilight the other went.....to Daniel's clone. "What? What have I done?"

"You see nightmare moon when those elements are united by the....the spark that resides withing us all, it creates the sixth element. the element of. Magic." With that there was a bright light and all the stones that were flying around the others went into there necks and they all had golden necklaces with a gem in the middle that matched there marks.

"Oh......Fudge" Daniel thought as that could mean big trouble for him.

"What about the other one. How is there a seventh?" Nightmare moon screamed at twilight.

"The Seventh element is Cosmos, when those timderwolf attack us, he saw what the rest of us did not, he pardoned them for what they did, he represent a new element of harmony just like the book said, that there might be more elements yet to be discovered and Cosmos is one of them, a powerful element, the element of forgiveness."

"ARE YOU FUCKING SERIOUSE? I just tried to be nice and I end up being one of these elements, The HOTU was enough now I have to deal with this!?.......This world truly is going to be the death of me." He then had a idea. "Lets try something." He thought about his lifeless pony body moving about and amazingly I did, he the tried to get it to speak and ask what is happening.

"T-twilight, wha-what is happening?" He was amazed he could get it to work as this could be very useful in the future.

"Nothing to be worried about Cosmos" Twilight said looking at him before looking back at NM and her orb became a crown, Daniel looked back at the one above his clone and it became a crown similar to the one twilight had only the little gems at the bottom were gone and there was only one gem at the top that was heart shaped and was Gold. Daniel looked at it with disgust.

"I am so not wearing that." Then it accrued to him he technically already was in his pony form at least. "Crap."

His clone was levitated over to the others and soon after the others started flying a rainbow beam shot into the air and at nightmare moon who jumped to the side and the beam missed before firing at twilight which caused them to scatter across the floor.

"I must thank you're friend Cosmos for giving me the hint to dodge back at the town hall, I was a fool to stay in the only place the first time I was banished by them, I wont let it happen again." Daniel chose to strike again and appeared from behind the pillar he was hiding and punched NM in the face sending her flying back. He then thought about his lifeless saying what he wanted it to say.

"Twilight, let try again while she is distracted." The others nodded and the elements charged up again. NM got up and charged and Daniel to which he avoided her attack and grabbed her to hold her steady while the rainbow bean fired again. The elements brightened up and Daniel through NM at the bean that collided with her in mid-air. She screamed as a rainbow tornado trapped her. The girls and Daniel's clone's eyes were pure white and the brightness only intensified until not even he could see, when it dimed down they were all passed out on the ground, Daniel quickie went over do his clone, undid it, transformed back into his pony form and set his power to be used by will again, just in time as the others started to get up.

"Oh, My head." Rainbow said rubbing her head.

"Everypony ok?" Applejack asked.

"Oh thank goodness" Daniel looked over to see rarity admiring Her newly grown tail that appeared while fluttershy was actually admiring the necklace. He remembered about his and was worried about that they would think when they see it.

"No, you're necklace, it looks just like you're cutie mark." Rarity looked at the it then at her mark and it did indeed look just like it.

"So does yours" Rarity said looking at fluttershys necklace, They all were taking the time to admire the own necklace. Then they all looked back at twilight and Daniel, pinkie pie went up to him.

"Hey Cosmos I like yours." She said pointing to his crown. Twilight spoke to him next "Aww It has a golden hear on it. Just like you were with those timberwolfs." The element did not see to be a give away about him so he was relived, he took time to look at his crown.

"Human." Daniel heard a whisper that was to quite to make out what it was saying, he looked around to try and find the source.

"Did any of you say something?" They all looked over to him.

"None of us did, Why?" Twilight replied.

"I thought I heard something."

"Gee twilight I thought you were just about a lot of hoowee but a recon we do represent the elements of friendship."

"Indeed you do." A voice said, the sun rose and was getting brighter but then it seemed to be landing in front of them and a few seconds later changed into a pure white coated alicorn, all the others started to down, all but twilight and Daniel.

"Princess celestia." Twilight said and walked over to her.

"Twilight sparkle, my faithful student." They hugged after celestia said that. " Knew you could do it." Daniel was still weary of authority figures so he watched celestia closely, but not suspiciously.

"But, you toled me it was all an old pony tail." Twilight said with what seemed like hurt in her voice.

"I tolled you that you needed to make some friends, nothing more. I saw the signs of nightmare moons return, and I knew it was you who had the magic inside to defeat her." Daniel was a little annoyed as to what she was doing this whole time if she was not captured, if she was then ok. "But you could not unleash it until you let true friendship into your heart." She looked over to her friends. "Now if only another will as well." They all had faces of confusion as to what celestia meant by that, celestia started walking over to where nightmare moon was defeated and Daniel saw another alicorn with a blue coat, hair and tail. "Princess Luna, It has been 1000 years since I have seen you like this, time to put our differences behind us, we were meant to rule together little sister.

"Sister." All the others besides Daniel said in surprise.

"Will you accept my friendship?" Daniel was wondering why a sister was asking her sister to be friends, to him it was stupid as how can you be friends of you are already family, but all the others watched in anticipation, Luna looked like she was about to reject from sadness until she ran up to celestia.

"I am so sorry, I missed you so much big sister." She said while they both hugged and cried at the same time, Daniel felt happy for them as luna is probably feeling the same happiness that Annabelle felt after she saw him in the two years he disappeared for but not to the same extent, or would it be the same as Annabelle did say they all thought he was dead, he decided to drop it and just be happy he got to reunite with his sister like how celestia has just gotten to reunite with her sister right here and now.

"I've missed you to." Luna's face went from one of happiness to fear.

"Sister....It was here." She said in a panic.

"What was luna?"

"The shadow, the creature I encountered in the forest 1000 years ago. Celestias eyes widened.

"But how could it still be alive?" She turned to the others. "Did any of you see something else?"

"Yes we did celestia." Twilight answered. "Before we unlocked the elements there was a creature that was shrouded in a dark mist that attacked nightmare moon. Why? Is it a threat?" Celestia looked down.

"I am not sure, but what I do know about it is that from what I have been told is that it is extremely powerful, my little sister encountered it before in the forest sometime before her banishment and it easily injured her." They all gasped. "I don't know if it is a threat but if you should encounter it I want you to stay away from it and inform me." They all nodded. "I must thank you and you're friends twilight, when you unlock all six of the elements you gave me back my sister." Celestia then hear something she did not expect.

"Seven, Princess. There was seven elements, Cosmos is the seventh bearer." She turned to twilight.

"Where is he?" To this they all pointed to Daniel who was in the corner looking out the window, this pony had another element of harmony that she had never seen before, she approached him.

"Excuse me." Daniel was snapped out of his thoughts and turned to look at celestia.

"Sorry, I need to daydream less." Daniel was looking at celestia.

"If you don't mind me asking, how did you obtain the seventh element?"

"I was just trying to be nice to some timberwolfs after they attacked us because they thought that we were a threat." Celestia looked back at twilight with a face that more or less asked if this stallions story was for real to which twilight nodded and she turned back to him.

"Well this is Historical discovery, the seventh element. Congratulation Cosmos." Celestia said with a smile

"Hey, you know what this calls for?"

After a few more minutes they were back in ponyville and pinkie then shouted again. "A Party." The full town was celebrating and there was a chariot that both luna and celestia were sitting in getting pulled by guard ponies, Annabelle ran up to Daniel and hugged him then they both watched with the crowed as luna was given a necklace of flowers that were made my little foals and she looked at it with surprise before looking back at her sister happily. Daniel decided to go back to his house to check up on the A.I he made until he saw twilight looking sad and celestia was speaking to her so he went over to see if he could comfort her, if there truly were friends then its just the right thing to do but when he got closer he hear celestia speak.

"Spike take a note please. I princess celestia herby decree that the unicorn twilight sparkle shall take on a new mission for equestrian. She must continue to study the magic for friendship, she must report to me her findings, from her new home in ponyville." With that they all gathered around twilight, all accept Daniel.

"Oh thank you princess celestia, I'll study harder then ever before." They all cheered and confetti started to appear. Daniel went over to Annabelle.

"Annabelle, We should go back to the house to check on that A.I that I made, when we come back I will get some works to see what the currency is for these ponies and buy us a house in town." He whispered and she smiled.

"Ok, lets go." Daniel and Annabelle walked until they were out of ponyville and when they were in the forest out of sight Daniel altered space around them again and took flight back to there house.
