This is the home of the Mane Six, also known as Twilight and her friends. However, this story of ours does not focus on any of these ponies. Instead, it is going to focus in on the life of Flash Sentry. Flash Sentry was born on a island called West Curvia. He was fond of this island being his birthplace. There were two reasons why. He liked music and when he found out that West Curvia had been home to many up-and-coming music performers, he decided to become one too. Flash also liked the seaside, and islands are usually surrounded by beaches. West Curvia is a lovely place during the summer in the daytime but not at nighttime. West Curvia Island has been known for having fierce summer storms during the night. Thunder and lightning flashes across the sky and rain drizzles everywhere. West Curvia Island is a nice place to be all year long but the climate conditions are a little unusual during this season. The days are sunny, but at night, there are summer storms about. West Curvia Island is not only known for it's stormy seasons but also the way the island is shaped by it's curves. West Curvia is also well known for having a summer home community in the East part of it. Summer homes on West Curvia belong to citizens of Equestria whenever they come to this island to spend their summer trips here. Each summer home is placed side by side and across from each other. These types of houses belong to the local. At the far end of this district, there are also houses that have plenty of space all around them, guarded by gates. These are the type of houses that have been purchased by some of the royals. Not too long ago, one of these royal summer houses got to be purchased by Princess Twilight Sparkle as a request from her recently married husband, Flash Sentry. This happened around the time when Princess Twilight gave birth to their first two kids, twin baby ponies, Stuart and Sherri. Now and then, during the summer, Flash and his family would sometimes come to this summer home of theirs when they felt like they were in need of a change or felt like taking a vacation. For Flash, it was to come see his hometown again once in a while. Tonight, we come to this royal house to find all about this story that Flash Sentry is in. It happened long ago in this land of Equestria. As common as before, the wind was fierce and the waves were crashing on the beach. It was keeping the two twin baby ponies, Stuart and Sherri up who were already tucked away in their bed and snuggled up in their blankets. Even though, they were in the safety of their own home, they didn't feel safe with a storm taking place around them. All they could do was look out the window and listen to the storm. Sometimes, they would also look around their bedroom and stare at the creepy shadows. At one point, they began to hear the floor outside of their bedroom creak. After a few moments, it stopped creaking. They began to see the knob on their door turn and it creaked open. Stuart and Sherri gasped in horror! They quickly covered themselves up in their blankets and trembled like never before. As they did, they heard a calm, soothing, familiar voice: "Hey, are you guys still up?" Stuart and Sherri stopped trembling and came out from under the covers. They came face-to-face with their loving Daddy, Flash Sentry. They were pleased to see him. Their Dad sat down in a chair. "I know what's keeping you two up." said Flash "It's the storm, right." "I think what Sherri and I need, Dad, is a story to listen to." said Stuart "That always helps us fall asleep." "Can you read us 'Joey in the Outback' book again?" asked Sherri "That's always been our favorite!" Flash turned around to look at his children's book shelf behind him and stared at their collection for a moment. He swung around momentarily. "How about a different kind of story for tonight?" asked Flash "Okay but will it have action and adventure in it?" asked Stuart "Does it have romance, cuteness, and most importantly, a happy ending?" asked Sherri "Get real, Sherri." laughed Stuart "What?!" grumbled Sherri "Now, now, kids, be nice" said Flash. "Or I'm not going to tell you the story." "Okay, we promise." said the twins "The story I'm about to tell you" said Flash. "Is a true occurrence that happened between your Mother and I, many years ago in this land of Equestria." "Cool! A true story." said Stuart as he and Sherri laid their backs down on their bed and got ready to listen. "Once upon a time..." began Flash "In the land of Equestria, a unicorn called Twilight Sparkle who was always worried about her studies, was one day sent to Ponyville by her mentor, Princess Celestia, to know all about the magic of friendship. She met five other ponies there who all became close friends with each other. They would later on find out that each of them resembled a different face of friendship that had connections to the magical artifacts "the elements of harmony." These artifacts helped them defeat evil wrong-doers and would-be conquerors whenever they were called upon Princess Celestia to help her defeat these enemies. This made them look like hero's. Even though, Twilight and her friends were the true guardians of friendship, that didn't seem to be true all the time as you are about to hear in this story. In this story, that hero got to be me. I can't remember how long ago it was when I first met your Mother but in the events that are about to follow will show you that they have plenty to do with her." Chapter 2 Chapter 2 "It all began on a true, stormy night like this" said Flash "when the wind was howling and making horrifying noises. I was fast asleep in my bed at the Crystal Empire where I used to serve as one of the royal guards there. That night had not only brought a storm, but also a nightmare for me. I was dreaming about my long-lost younger sister, Julia. Julia was my long-lost sister since I had never seen her for many years. I actually hadn't seen her since my childhood but there was a reason to that. It was right here, on this island, when Julia went missing. That was back when I was ten years old and Julia was nine years old. My family and I were on a trip visiting the North part of West Curvia. We were at the beach one evening, nearby some woods. My Mom and Dad had built a campfire, ready to roast some marshmallows and graham crackers over it. I had brought my guitar to play some songs. Julia was running around like crazy, feeling like she was free to do whatever she wanted. She usually felt like that whenever we were on vacation, wherever we were. When it got really dark, it happened! My family and I were still enjoying ourselves as I performed songs on my guitar and my parents sang along with them. Julia wasn't sitting around the campfire at that time. She was still running around us when she stopped suddenly. She ran over to me and yelled out: "Tag! You're it, Flash." "Not right now, Julia." I laughed "I'm kind of in the middle of something here." "Aw, come on." said Julia "You know you want to!" "Julia, please." I said "I know why," said Julia. "You're just being scared!" "Okay, you asked for it!" I cried as I threw my guitar down and began chasing after Julia. Julia was a real fast runner that I was not able to catch up with her but I was not ready to give up during that moment. As we drew near towards the woods, our Dad called out to us: "Don't you two wander too far!" "It's fine, Dad." I said "I'm keeping an eye on her." Soon, Julia and I were in the woods but not too far away from our parents. We could still hear the beach. Julia was laughing even more as I kept chasing after her. At one point, as I turned around a corner of a tree, I could no longer see Julia anywhere! That instantly shocked me out of my mind. "Julia, where did you go?" I asked anxiously There was no reply. "Come on, Julia," I said. "This isn't funny. Do you want Mom and Dad to find out about this and get us into trouble." There was still no reply to be heard. I ventured further into the woods. As I turned around another corner, I gasped and began to scream really loudly in terror, so loud that my parents could hear me all the way at the beach. They started rushing over in a hurry. When they found me, they were lost in confusion. "Flash, what's wrong?" asked my Mother "Where's Julia?" asked my Dad "In front of us." I said in a slow and shaky voice. My parents looked over to where my eyes were and we all came face-to-face with a gigantic, ferocious-looking demon wearing a top hat and cape. He had Julia in his arms and was covering her mouth. There were tears in Julia's eyes like never before. "C-can we help you?" asked my Dad nervously. "Please, don't hurt our daughter." shrieked my Mom "Just give her back." I protested and began lurching forward. "KEEP AWAY!" growled the demon "Or I'll break her neck!" I paused quickly. We stared at each other some more. "Are you going to give us back our daughter?" asked my Dad angrily. "Her name is Julia, she's only nine years old!" shouted my Mom "Look," I said calmly. "Let's make a deal. We'll let you know that we won't tell a single living soul that we saw you in this part of Equestria. Not ever. In exchange for that, can we please have Julia back?" The demon stared at us for a long moment until he said: "I have a better idea. I think I'll take my chances with Julia here while all of you run back to that Princess Celestia of yours and warn to tell her that "the Scoundrel" was here. In the meantime, I'm bringing Julia back to my home on Demon Island." "What are you going to do to her?" I asked in horror. "Why, nothing at all." said "the Scoundrel" "But I am going to turn her into one of my slaves. Until we meet again, which is who knows when, I might give her back by then." We watched in fright as the demon known as "the Scoundrel" made a triumphant laugh and flung his cape around him and Julia. Together they disappeared in clouds of red-orange smoke. The next day, we dashed over to Canterlot as fast as we could. In no time at all, we were inside Princess Celestia's castle, in one of the main halls. Princess Celestia came out to greet us. Chapter 4"During my childhood, I had always thought of becoming a music performer with my guitar." I continued on. "Now that Julia's disappearance had come up, I decided to become a royal guard instead since I thought it would help me find Julia. That's how I ended up at the Crystal Empire, protecting the prince and princess of that empire, Shining Armor and Cadence. After remembering all of that in my dream, that's when I woke up with a gasp. I was soon reminded where I was, I was asleep in bed, here at the Crystal Empire with all the other royal guards. I went back to sleep and cried. Before I did, I noticed some pictures perched on my dresser drawer beside me. The first picture was a photo of my family, Julia, and I. Tears swelled in my eyes as I looked at it. The next picture I came to was a photo of Twilight. I smiled at it and sighed. I went back to bed. Before Twilight came into my life, I still remember how my first love had always been Sunset Shimmer, Princess Celestia's first student to rule by her side. When Twilight became my next pony to fall in love with, I was glad that I broke up with Sunset Shimmer. Sunset never seemed to give me the comfort and sympathy that I needed whenever I talked to her about the disappearance of Julia. All she wanted to talk about was what did I think of her. However, Twilight was a very understanding pony which was very sweet of her. I smiled as I saw Twilight in more of my dreams as I dozed off. I was dreaming about how Twilight and I first met. I still don't know what got Twilight interested in a pony like me though, but she would usually tell me that she had this urge where she thought it was time for her to find true love. When she saw me, she thought she came to the right choice. Twilight and I didn't instantly start going on dates, however. We were always too busy. Twilight had become a princess, had a kingdom to take care of, and keep up with her studies. And I was a royal guard at the Crystal Empire. Even though, we would always send each other letters to show how much we loved one another. Finally, after several years of writing letters, came a moment where we had become inseparable. Chapter 5It was a cold, cloudy, windy night. Princess Twilight and her friends were exploring their new castle in Ponyville some more like they do every weekend night. What exactly were Twilight and her friends doing this for? They wanted to find out if there were any secrets hidden in this castle that had something to do with their friendship. They were just walking through the hallways when they came to some stairs that led downwards. They took the chance at it. The stairs brought them to a door which then led them to the basement of the castle. As they ventured through, Spike and the ponies came across a bunch of boxes, shelves, and filing cabinets, all covered in dust and cobwebs. They began searching through but all they could find were some more books, along with photos, stacks of paper, and maps. "I still really don't understand." said Twilight "What are we here for? What does all of this have got to do with our friendship? What does it all mean?" "Never mind, Twilight." said Rainbow Dash "We're only doing this for fun, remember?" said Pinkie Pie "We just want to know what else this castle has to offer us." said Rarity But Twilight did mind. "I know but I feel as though this is something that we should be taking seriously." she complained "You're always taking things seriously." mumbled Spike "Like more than ever, after all, you are now a princess." Spike opens up one of the filing cabinets in the corner. He takes a look inside and browses through. He comes to a curious section marked "letters." He takes the section of the folder out, opens it up, and gets a surprise! "WOAH!" cried Spike "Twilight, guys! You've got to come and take a look at this!" Twilight and her friends dash over to where Spike is. "What do you have there, Spike?" asked Applejack "This is a collection of letters addressed to and from between Twilight and Princess Celestia." said Spike "Let me see." said Twilight Twilight looks through the folder, and Spike is right. "That's strange." said Fluttershy "How did those get there?" "I have no idea but those got there, somehow." said Rainbow Dash "Well, somepony must've put them there." said Applejack "The question is, why?" wondered Twilight Spike continues looking through the filing cabinet. "Hey, what's this?" he wondered and took out another section of a folder. "This one is marked... "READ AT YOUR OWN RISK!" "Let me see." said Twilight Twilight browses through and begins making a shocked face. "What's wrong, Twilight?" asked Pinkie Pie "Is everything alright?" wondered Rarity "Why... These are letters addressed to and from between Fassbender and I." cried Twilight "Who?!" asked the mane five "Fassbender!" said Spike "That tyrant of a pony." "He's my ex-boyfriend back from my school days." explained Twilight "I met him around the time I first became Princess Celestia's assistant. How we met, it was one school day during a break when this male unicorn came up to me and said he liked me. After that, we became very close and would go on these dates like going to the senior prom. Even though, we had sort of a love-hate relationship. Sometimes Fassbender would treat other ponies very disrespectfully. He was awkward and rude to everypony who would accidentally make a mistake in front of him. This, of course, I did not like." "That's Fassbender, all right." said Spike "Always being a nuisance, thinking that he was some kind of a king." "I decided that I had to break up with him." continued Twilight "Besides, I was Princess Celestia's assistant and I didn't have the time to go on a date with Fassbender all the time. When I told him that we had to break up, he became very heartbroken. He said he was about to propose to me at that time and decided to leave Equestria all together in disgust. Since then, I've forgotten all about Fassbender until finding these letters that we wrote to each other." "So, Flash Sentry is not your first boyfriend?" asked Pinkie Pie "That's not important right now. The question is, what are these letters doing here, and why are they marked with "READ AT YOUR OWN RISK!" wondered Twilight "It's a mystery." said Applejack "Another mystery is that since Fassbender left me, I kept on getting this thought that I don't need to feel like I had to miss him." said Twilight "That always strikes me as a strange thing." Twilight flips through some more of the "READ AT YOUR OWN RISK!" letters. When she gets to the last page, there is another puzzling surprise. "This isn't a letter!" cried Twilight "What is it then?" asked Rainbow Dash Twilight shows her friends and Spike a drawing of some kind of figure. "What is that?" asked Rarity "I have no idea!" said Twilight "It's really hard to tell since whoever made this painting didn't draw it out very clearly." "All we can tell is that it's tall and is colored in a bunch of dark colors." said Pinkie Pie "Oh, I hope it's nothing scary." shivered Fluttershy Then, Twilight noticed something else. "Hey, there's something written on the back of this drawing." she said Twilight flips over the drawing and tries to read the saying on it. "What's it say?" asked Rainbow Dash "I think it saids..." began Twilight "For whoever possesses magic may be able to read this. Read this entire line on the back of this drawing out loud in the Everfree Forest and the mysterious figure in the drawing that you hold will be free, once again!" "What does that all mean?" wondered Twilight "Beats me." said Applejack "Well then, come on." said Twilight as she began heading upstairs. "Where are we going?" asked Fluttershy "To the Everfree Forest, where else." said Twilight "But why." asked Pinkie Pie "To get to the bottom of these mysteries." said Twilight The mane five look at each other for a moment, and follow Twilight. "Hey, Spike, Fluttershy, aren't you guys coming?" asked Rainbow Dash "Ah, no thanks." said Fluttershy "We'll stay behind and try to find if there's anything else that's interesting around here." said Spike The mares leave as Spike makes himself comfy in one spot beside Fluttershy and takes out a comic book. "You want to hear how private eye, Clue Snooper, made out in this next edition?" asked Spike "It's thrilling and exciting." "Um, uh, on second thought, I think I'd better continue checking up on Twilight and everypony else." said Fluttershy as she dashed for the stairs and tried to catch up with her friends. Spike shrugged, and went into reading his comic book. Chapter 6As the night grew darker and colder, the mane six left their castle and headed for the Everfree Forest. Soon they were in the deepest part of the woods in the forest. "I think this is a good spot to read this line out loud." said Twilight "I still hope we know what we are doing." said Applejack "Relax, Applejack, we're just going to read some kind of magical spell. It's not going to hurt anypony." said Pinkie Pie "I hope you're right." replied Fluttershy Twilight took the drawing out again. She examined the drawing one more time. She flipped it over and read the line out loud again. "For whoever possesses magic may be able to read this. Read this entire line on the back of this drawing out loud in the Everfree Forest and the mysterious figure in the drawing that you hold will be free, once again!" said Twilight The mane six wait for a moment but nothing happens. "Maybe you need to say it louder." thought Rainbow Dash Twilight tried again, loudly. But still, nothing happened. "I think we need to say it all together." said Rarity All together, the mane six said the line loudly. They waited for something to happen when suddenly, flashes and lightning bolts started coming out of the paper Twilight was holding! But they were coming from the other side of the paper where the drawing was. Twilight dropped the piece of paper in horror as she and her friends watched it fall to the ground while the flashes and lightning continued ferociously glowing out of the drawing. They began to grow bigger, and bigger, and bigger. The next thing that the six ponies were looking at right now, was a sight where it looked as though the figure in the drawing was coming to life. The figure began to rise out of the paper! The six friends still didn't say anything, they were much too stunned. Finally, the figure that used to be a drawing was now a breathing, living thing. He was no longer inside the paper. He was now in the pony universe. "What is that thing?" whispered Rainbow Dash "I think it's... it's..." said Twilight The monster looks down at the six ponies and shows them a clear vision of what he is than the drawing. "IT'S A DEMON!" shouted Twilight Then all the ponies see Fluttershy making a run for it while screaming her head off. "What a great idea, Fluttershy." said Rarity "Wait for us." said Rainbow Dash All of the ponies begin making a run for it and soon catch up with Fluttershy. But before they can make it back home to Ponyville, a enormous wall made of trees and vines blocks their path. "We're trapped!" cried Applejack "There's no way out and he's coming to get us." shivered Fluttershy "Perhaps that magical spell WAS going to hurt someponies." said Pinkie Pie "Then there's only one way out of this." said Twilight bravely. "We're going to have to fight him off." "I suppose we must." said Fluttershy The ponies begin making fighting poses to show that they're ready to battle. Then they noticed something strange. It didn't sound as though the demon was coming after them. A shadow appeared moments later. Twilight and her friends get ready some more. But when the shadow starts taking shape, it begins to look like a pony. The six ponies start getting confused. Out of the shadows, came a male unicorn. Twilight recognized him instantly! "Why, you're Fassbender!" she cried "Twilight how has it been." said Fassbender happily. "Fassbender, are you alright? There was this gigantic demon and it looked as though it was going to come after us. Did you see it?" asked Twilight "Twilight, I know it's been a long time since we last met but before we go any further, there's something that I've been meaning to tell you for quite a while." said Fassbender as he taps one of his hoofs on the ground. Red-orange smoke appeared all around him. When it settles, Twilight and her friends find a shocking discovery standing right in front of them. There was the demon again! Then Twilight noticed something else. "Why... you're no pony! You're 'the Scoundrel'!" cried Twilight "He's a what?" asked Rainbow Dash "Princess Celestia told me about you before." explained Twilight "You're a demon who can perform all kinds of dark magic and has always wanted to rule Equestria. But how could I not know that I had a demon as a ex-boyfriend for this whole time." "Perhaps you weren't always the brightest little pony you are today, Princess Twilight, or should I say, my soon-to-become queen!" laughed "the Scoundrel" "What?!" shrieked Twilight "You see, Twilight and friends, I am a ruler of an empire called Demon Island up in northern Equestria." explained "the Scoundrel" "But it was a poor place to live. It has war, poverty, and starvation. So I promised my fellow demons a new world. What I had to do was expand my empire some more but I knew that your precious ol' Princess Celestia would agree to no such thing. But when I heard that she got you, Twilight Sparkle, as her assistant, that's when I disguised myself as one of those male unicorns, became Twilight's boyfriend, we broke up, and I decided to give up. Not too long after that, I decided to give another try but before I was about to, I could no longer get off the island. It was now surrounded by fog. I thought that Princess Celestia must've suspected that I was "the Scoundrel" in disguise so she must've put a spell on the island so that demons could no longer escape from the island. I don't think she ever told you about that, Twilight. Maybe because she didn't want to put you into too much shock about your love life or maybe you already knew! But now that you and your friends have summoned me with your magic... Ah, what kind of magic was it, it couldn't have been dark magic." "It's the magic of friendship, and it's strong." said Twilight bravely. "And we're not afraid to use it." said Pinkie Pie "The magic of friendship!" laughed "the Scoundrel" "Please, you must be joking. How could good magic be able to summon something so horrible as me?!" "We're not kidding!" growled Rainbow Dash "I don't care whether you are or not." snarled "the Scoundrel" "Anyway, where was I... Ah, yes, now that I am free again, I can pick up where I left off." "Of what?" asked Applejack angrily. "To conquer Equestria into my own version, eliminate Princess Celestia and the rest of the princesses, and make Twilight my queen." explained "the Scoundrel" "You'll never get away with no such thing!" barked Rainbow Dash "You want to get through, you'll have to battle us first." said Rarity "Or what, you'll try to stop me with your elements of harmony which you gave away to that tree, or some other element that represents friendship which none of you have right now." laughed "the Scoundrel" "Give it up you interfering fools, you can't stop me!" "The Scoundrel" shoots out some beams and fires at the mane six. Twilight and her friends blast off the ground like they were just standing on top of a box of explosives and fly everywhere, all around the Everfree Forest. "That's right, out of my way you fools, I have a kingdom to claim as mine." laughed "the Scoundrel" The ponies regain consciousness and go after "the Scoundrel." "The Scoundrel" is just about to head off to Ponyville but then he looks behind him to find the mane six catching up to him. "Well, well, no wonder ponies are a mess, they just want to keep on coming back for more." mumbled "the Scoundrel" "You still haven't defeated us..." said Rarity "We're not... going to... give up." said Applejack "You... you... scoundrel!" said Rainbow Dash "Please, "the Scoundrel" is my nickname, call me Fassbender." said Fassbender Fassbender gets ready to heave another beam towards the mane six but then they notice something. Fassbender looks towards the sky. The mane six look behind themselves. They find more demons coming. The winged kind! "Oh, good!" said Fasbender happily. "My fellow demons have arrived to come and help me. After all, you ponies did break the spell that Princess Celestia put on my island which makes every demon free from that fog. Can't you see, we've become unbeatable, there's no pony who can stop us now!" The mane six continue looking at the winged demons coming closer to them in horror. Chapter 7Back at the castle, in the basement, Spike was still reading his new comic book, when he started to hear some odd, frightening noises coming from outside. They sounded like screams. Spike dropped his comic, dashed for the stairs, and to the exit of the castle to see what all the noise was about. When Spike burst through the doors, he found ponies of Ponyville getting captured by demons and being taken over to Fassbender where they were rounding all the ponies up. They were getting placed in a portal that Fassbender had opened up with his dark magic. It lead back to Demon Island where the demons were imprisoning the ponies and turning them into their slaves. "Hey, what gives?!" wondered Spike "Get that dragon!" shouted a demon "WOAH!" cried Spike But before he could make a run for it, a demon scooped him up and took him back to the portal. "We found this baby dragon by the Ponyville Castle." said the demon "What should we do with him?" "Put him in the dungeon cell where I put Twilight's friends. They'd be pleased to have him there." "Yes, sir." said the demon as he headed into the portal with Spike in panic. "Mr. Fassbender, sir," said another demon. "We found this guy over by Fluttershy's cottage, what do you think we should do with him?" Fassbender looked behind the demon and found some more of his henchmen carrying Discord, all tied up. "Let me go, you disrespectful brutes!" growled Discord "You're Discord, the spirit of chaos!" cried Fassbender "I've heard plenty about you before." "And you're Fassbender, the demon king, I suppose." remarked Discord "I've also heard about how you once partnered up with Lord Tirek one time but decided to change your mind about it at the last minute. That must mean you have no interest in joining my team either. After all, you're using your powers for good, instead of evil now. All because you had to think about how much magic there can be in friendship." "Friendship is a good thing, it can help and change you! Try to come to your senses, Fassbender." Fassbender glared at Discord for several moments. "You're a disgrace!" Fassbender said at last. "To the dungeon with him, and lock him up good." he said to his henchmen. The demons carry Discord away along with the rest of the ponies. "This is the life isn't it, Luther, Snickers, Roxy, don't you think everything is going exactly as I planned many years ago?" said Fassbender to his main assistants. "Yes, boss, but what about every land in Equestria?" asked Luther "Luther, did I say that we were ONLY going to conquer Ponyville?" said Fassbender "No, sir, you said every land in Equestria is going to be ours." said Snickers "Which is what we are going to do!" yelled Fassbender "Now you three idiots stop mumbling around and asking me questions and tell me what is the next land we need to conquer?" "Mr. Fassbender, sir," said Roxy. "I think Luther was asking about..." "What's the next land to conquer?" growled Fassbender "Come with us." sighed Roxy Soon Fassbender and his army of demons were gathering up all the ponies of Equestria. The unicorns, Pegasuses, and Earth. They reached Canterlot, and Fassbender zapped Princess Celestia and her sister Luna away. "There's no use for those alicorns." laughed Fassbender "We don't need to bring them back to Demon Island. I think they would rather spend the rest of their miserable life's in the Prison Lands of Utter Nothingness." It wasn't long until the entire demon army reached the Crystal Empire too. They gathered up all the Crystal Ponies, defeated Shining Armor and all the other guards, and banished Princess Cadence also to the Prison Lands of Utter Nothingness. Every time, the demons came to a territory of Equestria, Fassbender's main assistants checked to see if they got every pony there was. When they were checking at the Crystal Empire, they noticed something strange. "Excuse me, Mr. Fassbender, sir." said Snickers "Yes?" asked Fassbender "There seems to be a pony missing here." said Luther "What kind?" "He's some kind of a Pegasus who serves as a guard at the Crystal Empire but he's a regular kind. Not one of those crystallized ponies." said Roxy "Maybe he's hiding someplace. Should we go find him?" asked Luther Fassbender walks angrily over to Shining Armor. "Tell me, is this true?" asked Fassbender "I'll never tell you!" snapped Shining Armor Fassbender grabs a hold of Shining Armor's neck and begins strangling it. Fassbender lets go. "Now will you tell me?" asked Fassbender "Okay, okay, his name is Flash Sentry, he's on vacation but that's all I'm going to give!" said Shining Armor "Flash Sentry," said Fassbender. "Now, why does that name sound familiar?" "Should we get the location of this Flash Sentry too." asked Roxy "No, it's fine." said Fassbender "Let this Flash Sentry surprise me instead." "What does that mean?" asked Luther and Snickers "Wait and see." sneered Fassbender as he walked into the portal, back to Demon Island. Chapter 8At last, Fassbender's plan was almost complete. He had captured all the ponies of Equestria and imprisoned them on Demon Island. All was left to do was wait until his demon army were done demolishing and rebuilding every piece of land in Equestria for his own version of his kingdom, turn every pony into demon slaves, and make Princess Twilight his queen. "My life-long dream is finally coming true after so many years." smiled Fassbender to his henchmen as he sat in his den on Demon Island and looked through a bunch of monitors showing his demon army crushing Equestria. "Once my minions are done turning Equestria into Demontopia, the capital of my empire, I can then marry Princess Twilight and make her my queen. After that, we'll begin our new life, turn all those ponies into our slaves, and then all our problems will be over." Fassbender gets out of his chair and walks out of his den followed by his henchmen. Fassbender and his henchmen come to a hallway where prison cells are perched on each side. They are all filled with ponies yelling and bad-mouthing Fassbender. "You three," said Fassbender. "See if you can tone down that noise these fools are making." "Yes, sir." said Luther as he takes out a microphone and starts talking to the ponies with it. "Uh, attention, attention, may we please have your attention please. Mr. Fassbender requests that the noise you are making gets toned down a little." The ponies don't listen and can't hear. They are making too much noise. Fassbender grabs the microphone away from Luther. "Give me that!" snarls Fassbender "You're doing it all wrong. You need to do it more like this. ALL OF YOU, SHADDUP!" Every pony becomes quiet. "I like it when I do that." laughed Fasbender "Fassbender, leave them alone!" shouted Twilight who was in none of the prison cells but in a cage that was hooked to the ceiling. "Well then what are you going to do about it, Princess Twilight Sparkle?" chortled Fassbender "Have yourself and all these ponies use your magic against me? You know that's impossible since I've gotten rid of all the princesses of Equestria, and without them magic is unable to work in this world." Fassbender laughs and laughs as he and his henchmen leave the prison cell hallway. After they have gone, Spike starts coughing uncontrollably. Twilight's friends step back a little except for Rainbow Dash who hits Spike on the back to help him with his coughing. Finally, Spike hacks out a small magical orb. It bounces on the floor, out of the prison cell, and floats upwards towards Twilight's cage. Twilight peers inside the orb and finds Princess Celestia and all the other princesses inside it in the Prison Lands of Utter Nothingness. "Princess Celestia!" said Twilight "I'm sorry... I think this is my fault. My friends were looking for some information on the meaning of our friendship and while we were, we accidentally summoned "the Scoundrel" demon." "It's nobody's fault, Twilight." said Princess Celestia "After Fassbender left Equestria as a pony a long time ago, and when I suspected that he was a demon in disguise, I put a spell on his island to make sure no other demon would escape. But I think Fassbender was being stubborn so he came up with a magic trick that was very dark of him." "What kind of a magic trick?" asked Twilight "He made a drawing of himself but didn't make it come out too good." explained Princess Celestia "He put a curse on it that whoever found the drawing would be able to summon him from his fog prison. He made the drawing disappear and sent it someplace where you, Twilight would might be able to find it. But I never thought it would end up in a file section in your castle." "Princess Celestia, why didn't you tell me my ex was a demon for this whole time?" asked Twilight "I thought it would shock you too much." explained Princess Celestia "Besides, by the time I found out, you had already moved on and thought you wouldn't care." "Princess Celestia, who's going to save us?" asked Twilight "I've already thought of somepony but I don't want to say who it is." said Princess Celestia "No," cried Twilight. "Don't tell me. Please, don't make him do it, don't pick him!" "I have to, Twilight. He's the only one who can save us. I have to go now." "I understand." said Twilight sadly. The magical orb disappears in front of Twilight. At the Prison Lands, Princess Celestia begins making preparations for her plan. "Princess Cadence, are you sure he's gone through all the training that Shining Armor gave him and that he will be able to defeat a demon such as 'the Scoundrel'?" asked Princess Celestia "I have to say yes!" said Princess Cadence "He's our only chance." "Sister Luna," Went on Princess Celestia. "Will you be able to send that kind of important message to him through a dream?" "I've never done day-dreams before but I'll try as hard as I can." promised Princess Luna Princess Luna raised her horn in the air as she got ready to send the valuable message to Flash Sentry while Princess Celestia and Cadence stepped back. Chapter 9Where was Flash Sentry for this whole time while Equestria got taken over by demons? A week ago, Flash was given a vacation by Shining Armor and Cadence when they thought that he had been working really hard at the Crystal Empire that they decided that he needed a break as a reward. Flash decided to spend his vacation by visiting his birthplace, West Curvia Island. There he was on the beach, sitting in a fold-up chair. Surrounded by waves, sand, surfboards, and palm trees. He had his guitar in his lap which goes to show that he had just been strumming some tunes and singing harmonies for his own company. Now he had fallen asleep and was dozing off to dreamworld. Beside Flash, was a glass table. Perched on it, was a glass of lemonade and a picture frame of Twilight. This makes Flash dream about Twilight, the letters they would send to each other, and how he was in disappointment that she wasn't able to come with him on his vacation. All of a sudden, his happy dreams about Twilight get interrupted with a unusual kind of nightmare. In his dozing mind, he started to see Twilight, all alone and sad, in some kind of deserted ghost town of Ponyville. "Flash? Flash?" called Twilight sadly "Where have you gone? Why couldn't you travel to Ponyville to come see me anymore...? Or defeat the demon tyrant, Fassbender? I had to marry him so that he could spare my friends and all the other ponies who have become slaves to the newly established demon world. We are still prisoners of Demon Island which is in the northern direction of your birthplace. If only if you could have done something! The magic of friendship is all gone!" Twilight fades away, and Princess Luna appears. "Save her, Flash! Save us all!" Princess Luna called Flash wakes up with a start from this terrifying dream sequence. He looks all around him but everything seems to be normal. Then, he looks up at the sky which are still blue but get gobbled up by very dark clouds in one second. Flash looked over to where the horrifying clouds were coming from. It appeared to look as though they were coming from the north. Flash thought for a moment and tried to make sense of what was going on. He soon came to a decision. "What's gone wrong with our world...?" he thought in a panicked tone. "It feels like it's crumbling apart before my very eyes. I've got to do something!" said Flash bravely. Flash got out of the chair and headed for his summer home. Once back inside, Flash opened up the closet and found his armor waiting for him there. He quickly changed into it. "It's a good thing I like carrying this around." said Flash "Wait for me, Twilight and everypony else, I'm coming for you. So you'd better watch out, Fassbender, you scoundrel." "And then what happened?" asked Sherri "Yeah, that can't be the ending." complained Stuart "Where's the part where you get to battle that demon?" "Well, that's the end..." said their Dad "But it wasn't a happy ending!" moaned Sherri "It's the end of part one that is." said Flash "So there will be a continuation of the story, but that will have to wait until next time. Besides, it's getting very late. You kids need to be asleep by now." "Okay, Dad." yawned Sherri "You promise us you will tell the rest of the story tomorrow night?" asked Stuart "Certainly," said Flash "good night." The twins went to sleep as Flash flipped off the lamp in the bedroom, walked out, and closed the door behind him as the storm outside continued raging on. Chapter 10Part: 2 It was nighttime on present-day West Curvia Island when all the bustle and hustle had come to an end and everypony set off back to their nice, cozy summer houses for rest. At the Sentry's residency, the father, Flash, was just passing by his kids' bedroom, when Stuart and Sherri popped out through the door. "Dad." whispered Sherri "Can you tell us the rest of the story?" asked Stuart "You mean the one about how I got married to your mother?" wondered Flash "Right!" said the twins "But please remind us of the story so far." put in Stuart Flash went inside the bedroom along with his kids. The kids gathered themselves on top of their bed as Flash sat down in the chair next to them. The kids began to listen and here's the rest of the story Flash told them. "It all began," continued Flash. "when Twilight and her friends were searching for the meaning of their friendship. In the process, they accidentally summoned a demon known as Fassbender "the Scoundrel." He quickly began taking over Equestria and decided to make Princess Twilight his queen. Now comes the part where I'm off to the rescue. Word soon spread all over West Curvia Island about the tragic demon attack in Equestria and that Flash was on his way to Demon Island to foil the menacing ordeal. As Flash dashed through the beach towns towards the northern part of the boat piers on the island, ponies leaped out of their windows and doors to wave and wish Flash "good luck." In no time at all, Flash reached the northern pier with a sailor who was waiting and ready for him. "Where to?" asked the sailor "Can you take me to the deepest northern part around here?" asked Flash "Certainly, but I'll only go up to where it gets too foggy." "Thank you." Flash and the sailor hopped aboard the boat, and they set off through the fog and the raging dark clouds. Back at Demon Island, Fassbender and his henchmen were still waiting for the re-building of Equestria. While they waited, they decided to watch some cartoons which are previous existing TV series of the "My Little Pony" franchise, when suddenly, a buzzer began to ring. "Oh, no!" cried Snickers "It's the emergency red light." said Luther "Put up the scanners and switch the monitors." commanded Fassbender Fassbender's henchmen do as they are told and find a dot closing in on the center of the scanners. They realize it's the boat that has Flash on board. "That must be the so-called Flash Sentry which we recently found out about." said Roxy "Coming to stop us, I'll bet." said Snickers "I told you we should've gone after that Flash Sentry once we got to know his name." grumbled Luther "Now he's on his way here to get in our way. What do you suppose we do now, boss? Uh, boss?" Fassbender is gazing at the monitors with Flash in silence. "That Pegasus!" cried Fassbender "I've seen him before!" "You know that guy?" asked Snickers "Such a long time ago." explained Fassbender "He was only a colt at that time." "And it looks like you two are going to get reunited." said Roxy Fassbender continues to look at the screens as he remembers more and begins to make an eerie smile. "Oh, this just got even better." laughed Fassbender "It's going to become a reunion alright!" "What does that mean?" asked Luther "Follow me." said Fassbender "There's something that will explain all of this." Fassbender gets out of his chair with his henchmen following right behind him. They walk through the hallways of the cave, went past the prison cells room, and came to the deepest end of the hallway with a door blocking their way. "What's behind the creepy door." asked Luther "Are we about to enter an episode of "The Starry Night Zone?" asked Snickers "Wait a second, I recognize this place!" said Roxy "Isn't this your old storage room, boss?" Fassbender takes out some keys and looks through them. He comes to one and places it inside the key-hole. He twists it. "Roxy, you are precisely right. Snickers, no." said Fassbender as he budges the doorknob and turns it. The door opens. Fassbender and his henchmen go inside. "I've never seen this storage room before." said Snickers "What did you use it for, boss?" "Nothing much really." said Fassbender "I used it to store away a bunch of failed plans and things I no longer needed." Fassbender and his henchmen ventured further into the storage room as they past filing cabinets, stacks and stacks of paper and books, and shelves perched with statues of evil-looking creatures. A thought strikes Luther as he brings up a question to Fassbender. "Boss, what are we doing here by the way?" asked Luther "What does this have got to do with that Flash Sentry pony?" Fassbender stops walking. So do his henchmen. "The answer is right in there." said Fassbender as he pointed to the end of the room which was another prison cell. "Sir, we still don't understand." said Roxy "You see, you three," explained Fassbender. "When I was starting out as your new ruler, I began to think about how to expand my empire. That was when I decided that I was going to have to test out my new dark magic skills. I was able to succeed with one where I could transport myself to anyplace in Equestria. I ended up on this island called West Curvia and found a filly all alone in the woods. I captured and brought her here as some kind of warning to give to Princess Celestia. I tried turning her into one of my slaves but it looked like I couldn't master it. I didn't want to return the filly so I locked her away in this dungeon for many years as my prisoner." "Are you trying to say that..." pondered Snickers "Oooh, sir, you are truly evil." said Roxy Fassbender and his henchmen begin to hear some pant-less breathing coming from inside the prison cell. A full-grown mare begins to appear and gazes at them. "What do you want this time, you boneless, ruthless, psychopath?!" asked the mare angrily. "Came by to give you some good news and some bad news." smiled Fassbender fiendishly. "So, why don't we skip to the bad news first. The bad news is, I'm still not going to set you free. The good news is, I'm about to reunite you with someone very special." "What?!" shrieked the mare "What does that all mean?!" "You're about to say hello to your brother, that's what it means!" laughed Fassbender "But before we go out to meet him, you're going to have to do a little something for me,... Julia." Chapter 11 Chapter 11 Back in the middle of the ocean, Flash and the sailor began to reach the foggiest parts of the north. As it became even more foggier the sailor stopped the boat and turned to Flash. "This is as far as I go." explained the sailor "Thank you." said Flash "Since you can't use your wings to fly now that Fassbender got rid of all the magic in Equestria, you might as well you use this life raft right here." The sailor hands over to Flash the inflatable life raft. "That'll have to do." said Flash The life raft is soon inflated and ready to go. Flash begins paddling off into the fog with it, right towards Demon Island. The scanners and radar systems inside Fassbender's headquarters pick up Flash's senses even more. "Marvelous!" growled Fassbender "With this new plan, Flash Sentry will be mine in no time at all." "He'll soon be joining every other pony in the screening room where we've prepared the brainwashing screen." laughed Snickers "Then you may finally have Princess Twilight all to yourself for the rest of her miserable life." sneered Luther "So we'd better make sure everything goes just exactly as I planned." said Fassbender "Activate exterior traps!" "But we thought you wanted him to get in?" thought Roxy "Yes," said Fassbender. "But we can't make it too easy can we." Out in the ocean, Flash began to notice something. The mist slowly lifted, and there stood Demon Island! Flash cautiously moved forward towards it, nearer and nearer he came. "Sir, I believe, he's onto us." worried Luther "Nonsense!" snarled Fassbender "He knows we have traps waiting for him." At last, Flash reached the shore. He climbed out of the raft and stepped onto the beach. He looked all around him anxiously. He then spotted a rock. Flash began to get an idea. He picked up the rock and threw it in the distance. The rock fell to the ground and sank. Flash was surprised. "Quicksand!" he gasped "There must be pits of them all around me." Flash looked around some more and started to gather all the rocks he could find. He threw each of them over to where there were pits of quicksand. This went on until Flash made it off the beach and into the jungle. "Onto level 2!" smiled Flash "Yes, level 2, indeed." said Fassbender "The sooner the better." Flash was soon wandering through the deep depths of the jungle, making his way to the mountain. But Flash wasn't hurrying. He was slowly moving forward. He was still being too suspicious about the area. "It's quiet," said Flash "Too quiet." Flash was anxiously looking around him some more when suddenly a huge spiderweb came out in front of him. Flash backed away in fright. Then he could see that above him were gigantic, over-sized black widows. They started crawling towards him. Flash got his sword out, ready for battle. "You want a piece of me!" said Flash bravely to the monstrous spiders. "How about I get a piece out of each hairy one of you, instead!" Flash charged for the spiders. The spiders came right at him too. Flash jumped and dodged the spiders every move as he chopped and sliced every bit of them. The spiders collapsed to the ground, all torn up. "That training really did come in handy." smiled Flash Flash looks up, and finds that more gargantuan insects are in his way. Red, spine-tingling, furry, ants and grotesque scorpions. "Come and get me!" said Flash, full of determination. Flash advanced over to the ghastly bugs and turned them all into chopped liver. He came across rivers where there were waiting leeches and crocodiles as he swung across vines without swimming through the streams. After another obstacle, Flash began to notice something else. "This is getting all too weird now." he thought "Fassbender has all these traps wherever I'm around. It's like he's able to sense me whichever place I am." Flash is still wondering how exactly this is possible when a snake came up behind him! It lunged towards Flash as Flash turned around at the same timing and chopped the snake's head off. Flash is about to go on his way again but before he does, he examines the snake a little more closely. He realizes that there's a camera lens hidden inside the snake's eyeball. "Fassbender must have hidden cameras all over!" gasped Flash "No wonder he can track me down wherever I go." "Not to mention scanners and radars." said a breathless, creepy-toned voice. Flash jumped and looked all around him but he could find no one. "I know that's you, Fassbender!" said Flash with courage. "You'd better stop this nonsense of yours before things get too ugly." "Me, surrender!" laughed Fassbender "Who do you think I am?! But let me tell you this, there will be a big surprise waiting for you after getting through all levels. A big, NASTY surprise!" Everything goes silent. Flash continues on his way but gets confused more than ever. "Why would he tell me that he knows how to figure out which part of the jungle I'm in?" wondered Flash "And why would he tell me that there's a surprise waiting for me at the end of the jungle? No matter, I'll just have to go see for myself." Flash continued forward to the mountain. He soon made it out of the jungle and reached it. He began to climb as he tried to search for a way in. Halfway up the mountain, Flash found a cave. He went inside it. The hidden cameras followed Flash's every move on the monitors. "It's time to go meet this Flash Sentry face-to-face." sneered Fassbender as he got out of his seat. "Disable all interior traps, let the foolish colt in!" Roxy turns off all traps on the control board and follows Fassbender. "Is the beast tamed and ready for action?" asked Roxy to Luther and Snickers. "Oh, we've got her under our control alright!" chuckled Snickers "That Flash Sentry will definitely be able to resist slaying this beauty." laughed Luther Flash was now in the deepest interiors of the mountain. But was getting suspicious about a different thing. He hadn't been running into any other traps along the way in. Then, he came to a dead end. He was just getting lost in confusion as lights flickered on. Flash covered his eyes by the sight of them. He opened them back up and found Fassbender and his henchmen standing on top of a ledge in front of him. "At last, I finally get to be reunited with the Flash Sentry after so many years." said Fassbender with an unfriendly smile. "And you must be the scoundrel they call Fassbender." said Flash "It has been a long time hasn't it." grinned Fassbender "You three, fetch me my clothes!" Fassbender's henchmen went inside another cave for a moment and returned shortly with a top hat and cape. Fassbender put them on. "This is the same way you saw me when we first met, didn't it, Sentry." said Fassbender "But that's not all. I still haven't given you the other nasty surprise that I have in mind. Roxy, release the beast!" Roxy pulled a lever right beside her as some cage doors opened up at the bottom of the ledge in front of Flash's hoofs. Out came Flash's other nasty surprise! "Julia!" Flash screamed Chapter 12But then, Flash began to notice something strange! Julia didn't look happy to see her brother at all. She was angry-eyed and there was something very odd about her. "Julia," said Flash. "It's me, Flash, don't you recognize me?" Flash edges slowly over to Julia but she only growls back. Flash is in horror! "What did you do to her?!" shouted Flash to Fassbender. "Isn't it obvious." Fassbender laughed rudely. "I gave her a taste of my good ol' brainwash, what else." "I demand that you change her back right now!" barked Flash "Why should we?!" remarked Luther "We like this new Julia of ours." chuckled Snickers fiendishly. "And there's nothing you can do about it at all." roared Roxy "Oh, yes I can!" said Flash as he tried to get to where Fassbender and his henchmen were but Julia blocked his path. "Enough," she hissed "I don't know who you are but you leave my master alone." "Julia, what are you talking about?!" said Flash frantically. "It's me, Flash, your brother!" "Stop saying that!" grumbled the evil Julia. "I don't know who you are, alright! Master Fassbender, sir, what should I do with him?" "Nothing much, really." said Fassbender "Tie him up, and throw him into the lava pit." "But we thought you wanted Flash Sentry to be brain-washed too." said Roxy "I didn't say I wanted every pony brain-washed, did I" mumbled Fassbender. "Julia, do as you're told!" "Yes, master." said Julia Julia began to lunge towards Flash as he tried backing away from her. "Julia, you don't want to do this alright!" said Flash. "I'm your brother, try to at least remember me." Julia doesn't listen, she ignores Flash's pleas for mercy as she gets out some rope and gets ready to tie Flash up with it. She pounces on Flash and does just exactly that. Fassbender laughs and laughs. "I knew this was going to work out perfectly." Fassbender said with his evil laugh. "Come on, let's go, we have some unfinished business to care of." Fassbender and his henchmen leave as Julia starts dragging Flash over to the lava pits. Chapter 13As Julia and Flash neared the lava pit area, Flash began to race through his mind furiously when, a idea came to him! He waited until they were right by the lava pits. Just before the evil Julia was about to push Flash into the lava pit, Flash put his plan into action. "Excuse me, Julia." said Flash "I don't know if you can still remember me but before you make me meet my doom, is it okay if I sang a song to you?" The evil Julia stared at Flash for several moments looking as though she was almost surprised. "Oh, very well then, but make it quick." she snorted "Please, Julia, try to remember me. This song that I wrote since our childhood is about you. I hope it jogs your memory. It must!" Flash began to sing: "My sister helps me find meaning in my life She helps me realize that I need to be there for her Julia's my sister, she's an ocean princess, adores me So I sing this song to show how much I love her Julia, you have seaweed-colored eyes and bright smile, you adore me So I sing this song to show how much I love her Her mane blows everywhere in the wind Through the clouds Julia is a friendly greeting in the morning So I sing this song to show how much I love her When I don't feel happy I can only think of Julia Julia, drowsy Earth, whispering meadows So I sing this song to show much I love her Wonders where I am all the time So I sing this song to show how much I love my sister, Julia" Flash sang and sang the steady, slow song until his voice gave out. By then, he began to realize that the flames in Julia's eyes were now fading away. She was now back to her normal self once again. She looked all around her in confusion. "Flash," she cried. "Is that really you?!" "Yes, Julia," said Flash with a sigh of relief. "It's good to have you back. Now, do you think you can untie me?" Julia soon freed Flash from the ropes and they hurried off to find Fassbender and his evil band of henchmen as Flash explained everything on the way. They came to a group of tunnels that led back inside to the interiors of the island. Flash listened closely to each one of them. He began to hear Fassbender's menacing laugh coming from a tunnel near the far right. Flash was just about to go inside the tunnel but before he did, he turned to Julia first. "Julia, please listen to me!" Flash said. "I have to go battle Fassbender now, but I'm afraid you can't come with me." "But I want to help too." Julia protested "Please, just do as I say, I can't risk losing you again." Julia though about it for a moment until she came to the agreement. "I understand." she said sadly. "Remember, if anything happens here, you make a run for it and try to come and find me as fast as you can." finished Flash, and he dashed for the tunnel and disappeared. Chapter 14As Flash traveled through the tunnel some more, the closer he got to the sound of Fassbender's sinister laugh. Flash came to a corner and ducked behind it. He then found he had come to the screening room where everypony was strapped to a chair and demons were getting a projector ready to show the brainwashing movie. Fassbender and several of his henchmen were seated too. Flash quickly ran over to another entrance of the screening room where he could get better access to the projector. "No more peace and harmony for this so-called world known as Equestria!" announced Fassbender as he stood up in front of the screen. "Once each and every one of you ponies is done watching this film you'll never want to turn away from me and go back to your normal lives. This is your new future now!" "Projector's all set, boss!" called Snickers "Splendid," said Fassbender fiendishly. "Enough wasting time, press play!" The projector went into life as it began to show a spiraling image on the screen with a creepy voice talking in the background, saying: "You are ponies and meant to serve under the rule of your master, Fassbender, the demon king. You will be joining him and his army of demons in no time at all as soon as this transition is over. Forget about peace and harmony, especially friendship! There's no use for such worthless subjects." Everypony strapped to chairs tried to look away from the screen and shut their eyes but it was no use. Fassbender's henchmen were always keeping a watch on them. Whenever somepony refused to cooperate, the demons would bring over some tape and use it to keep everypony's eyes open. They also had to keep everypony still in order for them to keep looking at the screen. Soon, everypony began to look like they were all going through the brainwashing process. This seemed to continue on when, suddenly, a shattering crash was heard and the screen went blank. Everypony was relieved but some of the demons got confused and surprised. Most of all, Fassbender was furious! He turned around to find the projector smashed to pieces by a enormous piece of rock and looking in very bad condition. "No," cried Fassbender. "That was part of my rare, expensive collection of movie projectors! Who did it?!" he growled ferociously. "It wasn't us!" said Luther and Snickers "But don't worry," said Roxy calmly. "We'll find the culprit, and make him pay!" At that same moment, all the straps on the chairs where the ponies were sitting came loose. In no time at all, ponies were scrambling everywhere, making their escape. But Fassbender didn't do anything, he was much too angry. "Uh, boss, aren't you going to command us to, you know, 'get them'?" asked Luther "It's fine!" said Fassbender "We should be trying to defeat who's responsible for this entire mess instead." "Which means?" asked Snickers "It means go look for the culprit!" yelled Fassbender Soon all the demons set off to go look for Flash Sentry while Fassbender stayed behind. "Uh, sir, what are you going to do?" asked Roxy "Going to try and get my future wife back!" snapped Fassbender "I haven't given up on her yet." Chapter 16"It looks like it all ends here, old timer!" laughed Fassbender "I don't know how you were able to get that sister of yours out of my trance but I'm not going to ask since that's not important. But I do know that once you made your escape you ruined my whole plan! You sneaked around the screening room to break my valuable projector with a rock and messed with the chair controls. But what I don't understand is how you were able to defeat each and every demon of mine? And why are you glowing like that?" Flash smiled as it all began to make sense to him. "Why don't you ask Princess Twilight," he said. "She's the princess of friendship after all." Fassbender thought for a moment and went into shock. He looked at Twilight and took another glance at Flash. Then Fassbender got furious. He gently took Twilight out of his arms and placed her carefully on the floor. Next, Fassbender took out a sword of his own. "This is the last straw!" he grumbled uncontrollably. "You and I are going to settle this once and for all if this is the last thing I do, Flash Sentry!" "Fassbender, friendship is magical, you have to understand that when Twilight came for me I got stronger and stronger because she really cares about me. There's no point in trying to defeat me!" "I don't care," growled Fassbender. "I'll never believe that there's magic in friendship! You and I are going to finish this if it's going to kill me." "Don't do it, Fassbender!" warned Twilight "You'll only get yourself defeated!" "Enough!" roared Fassbender "This lovable Flash Sentry of yours, Princess Twilight, is going to battle me and there's no use talking me out of it!" "So be it!" said Flash with confidence as he began to glow even more. Fassbender charged right at Flash. So did Flash, as the hero and villain lunged at each other with their swords while Twilight stood back and looked on. At one moment, Flash dropped his sword but received it back in no time when somepony slid it over to him who turned out to be Julia! She had been following Flash the whole time and had now come to watch the fierce battle along with Twilight. A few moments later, Flash's armor and sword began to glow along with him and as Flash struck Fassbender another hit, Fassbender began to feel a little weak. He then found that parts of him were disappearing around the part where Flash had slashed him. "I'm fading away!" shrieked Fassbender "Why is this happening to me?!" "Because you won't believe in the magic of friendship, that's why." explained Flash Just then, all of Fassbender's demons came to the scene just as their boss was fading away some more. Fassbender noticed them. "Do something!" pleaded Fassbender "It's too late!" said his henchmen as they began to notice that they were fading away too. In no time at all, every demon's existence vanished. Then Flash, Twilight, and Julia noticed that everypony who had been trying to escape were around them. They had come back to watch the battle and were now seeing the end of it. Everypony was in cheers by this point. "You did it, Flash!" cried Twilight "Way to go, big brother!" cheered Julia "And, oh, sorry that I decided to tag along. I was just so worried..." "It doesn't matter," said Flash. "You did your part of helping me out too." As everypony continued on towards the exits and soon made it to the beach everypony tried to figure out how they were going to get off the island. At that very same moment, the dark clouds parted away and went back to being a sunny blue sky. Then streaks and streaks of magic dust began floating across the new bright sky. It came pouring down on all the ponies and in no time at all, everypony had their magic back. When Flash got his back, he began floating up towards the sky, even though he didn't have his wings out. Then bursts of colors came out of him in a beam! The colors streaked everywhere across Equestria. Every land of Equestria got rebuilt that the demons had been demolishing and these demons too got faded away. Back on the island, everypony continued gazing at Flash's new powers. After Flash gave one more effort, a blinding flash was made and everypony found things back to normal. Chapter 17Everypony was back in Canterlot, inside one of the main halls of Princess Celestia's castle. They also noticed that all the other alicorns, Princess Celestia, Luna, and Cadence were back due to Flash Sentry's new powers. Everypony was overjoyed but it didn't last too long. Flash fell to the floor and fainted and everything around him went dark. A few days later, he opened his eyes again and found that he was in bed in a emergency room at a nearby hospital. He looked all around him and found that Twilight, Julia, and the biggest surprise of all, his parents, were all sitting right beside. "Princess Celestia contacted us to let us know that you had found Julia and you were in the hospital. So we rushed on right over." explained the Dad "Now we're going to be a family together again, now that Julia's back and you're well again." smiled the Mom who was almost weeping with joy. "The question is though," said Flash "What happens now from here?" "You'll see." smiled Twilight After Flash got well and checked himself out of the hospital, he was told by Twilight to come with him to Ponyville and bring along his armor. The Sentry family came along too to find out what this was about. When they arrived in Ponyville, they headed over to Twilight's friendship castle. When they entered one of the main halls, all the other ponies were there, Twilight's friends, all the Princesses of Equestria, and everypony else. "What is all this for?" asked Flash "It's about you, Flash!" explained Twilight "Couldn't you tell?" "But why?" asked Flash with surprise. "You're a hero, that's why!" explained Shining Armor "You saved everypony of Equestria, and if I might add, my sister, from a terrible ordeal. You may have earned some new kinds of powers from this experience that you still have a lot to learn about to control but for now, Princess Twilight would like to give you a special honor." Flash looked over to where Twilight was who was now up on a platform at the end of the hallway. Everypony gathered on the sides to let Flash through. Flash looked at his family who had also gathered to the sides. "Go ahead," said Flash's Dad. "It's probably what you wanted after all these years." Flash gulped nervously as he walked over to the platform. Soon he was standing in front of Twilight. Twilight picked up a sword that Spike had been holding generously which she picked up with her horn and patted Flash's head and shoulders with it. "As the Princess of Friendship and saving the entire kingdom of Equestria, I dub thee, Sir Flash Sentry!" announced Princess Twilight "May I have the medal, please?" Spike handed the medal over to Twilight which she also reached with her horn and placed it on Flash's armor. Everypony cheered! "Three cheers for my big brother!!!" screamed Julia happily. Her Father thought he had gone deaf but Julia's Mother cheered right along with her. When the cheering faded away Princess Twilight asked Flash if he had anything to say over his remarkable triumph of earning his knighthood. "This is all very um,.. astonishing." began Flash "I know that I have always wanted to be a knight but never realized I would get this much praise for it. But there's something that I need to admit before I go any further. I didn't want to become a knight at first. My first dream-job was becoming a guitarist but when my sister, Julia went missing, I thought it would be best if I joined the force instead. Ended up at the Crystal Empire where I bumped into Princess Twilight Sparkle, who is the most beautiful pony I've ever met. What definitely motivated me to save you all from a treacherous experience was that when I heard that Fassbender was going to try and make Twilight his queen, I knew I was the one for this job." Flash looked over to Twilight and said: "I love you, Princess Twilight Sparkle!" The cheers came out again from everypony once more. Chapter 18After Flash earned his knighthood, the surprises didn't stop there. More kept coming as it got announced by Shining Armor that Flash was no longer going to be a guardspony at the Crystal Empire. He was now uprooted to being Princess Twilight's official bodyguard for saving her life. From then on, Flash began to live in Ponyville with Twilight. Several months later, during the summer, Twilight was granted a one-week vacation and Flash knew exactly where she should spend it. They went to West Curvia Island, Flash's birthplace. His parents still live there along with his sister Julia, who is currently trying to look for her special talent and earn her cutie mark. Twilight at first wanted to ask Flash if they could spend their summers at his family's house but when they arrived on West Curvia, everypony there was so excited to meet the Princess of Friendship that they all insisted that she purchase one of the Royal Summer Homes. That is now where Twilight and Flash spend their summers these days whenever it's alright for Princess Twilight to take a vacation. They also became a family since not too long ago, Twilight and Flash thought about how inseparable they had become so they got married. In no time at all, Twilight became pregnant and gave birth to twins; a pegasus known as Stuart, and a unicorn called Sherri. Whenever Twilight had to attend to important matters and Flash had to come along and protect her, they usually asked Pinkie Pie to babysit their babies whenever she wasn't minding the candy store and the Baby Cakes. But each family member still found time to be with each other during the morning and at night. They even found more time to be with each other whenever they took one of their summer trips over to West Curvia. "...And that's when they lived together happily ever after." finished Flash "Wasn't that a great story?" "Yes it was," said Stuart. "It was not only great but amazing!" "Mostly because of how it had a happy ending to it." said Sherri "No, it was because that all really happened." grumbled Stuart "You never give me anything do you." groaned Sherri "Now, now, kids be nice to each other or I'm not going to tell you anymore bedtime stories." said their Dad "Okay." said the twins Then they all heard a knock on the door. Who did it turn out to be, no pony other than Princess Twilight. "Flash, are you still telling our kids the story about the events that led to our marriage?" she asked "It's fine, Twilight, I just wrapped it up." said Flash "Go to sleep now, kiddies, we have another long day ahead of us." "Will you tell us another story like that?" asked Stuart "Sure," said Flash. "But next time, okay , get some sleep." The twins yawned, snuggled up in their blankets, and went to sleep. Twilight and Flash moved quietly out of their kids' bedroom, switched off the light and closed the door. They went to their bedroom to get some sleep as well as they listened to the waves crashing on the beach. The End Chapter 3"I hear that this is a emergency meeting." said Princess Celestia "What seems to be the trouble?" "Please, Flash, tell it to her." said my Dad "I'll comfort your Mom. "Princess Celestia," I began. "Do you know a demon by the name of 'the Scoundrel'?" Princess Celestia made a startled look on her face. "Why, yes!" she said "How did you hear about this demon and that name he has." "Because," I said as I began to cry. "He took my sister, Julia away from us last night around the northern part of West Curvia Island." "He said he was going to take her back to his home on Demon Island and turn her into one of his slaves as some kind of warning to you." explained my Dad "But we don't know what." Princess Celestia made a devastated, sad face. "I would like to help you Sentry family" said Princess Celestia. "But in all my years as being a princess, I don't know much about this demon who likes to call himself as 'the Scoundrel.' However, I have read books about demons and this island of theirs called Demon Island. It's been said that Demon Island is up in the Northern part of Equestria but I don't think I can send any of my soldiers and warriors up there." "Why not?!" I asked in frustration. "It has been said that Demon Island is a hard place to find." explained Princess Celestia "Since when Demon Island was first formed and became inhabited by demons, fog got all around it and has stayed like that for so many years. That was also the same time when 'the Scoundrel' came into power and has been their leader ever since then." "So you're saying that if some of your soldiers and warriors go over to that island," I asked "through all that fog, they might never be heard of ever again?" "I'm afraid so." said Princess Celestia sadly. "But what I don't understand is the dark magic that 'the Scoundrel' keeps on possessing inside of him. Once in a while, he's able to break free out of that fog prison somehow and launch a attack on a land of Equestria. It's very strange and devastating." "Whatever he is," I said. "We're going to find out, someday! We thank you for your time, Princess Celestia." My parents and I left as my Mom continued sobbing and Princess Celestia looked on at us. Chapter 15As everypony headed for all the exits that they could find, Rainbow Dash noticed something. "Hey, has anypony seen Twilight?" she asked Everypony looked back to find Twilight heading in the opposite direction. "Twilight!" cried Rarity "Where are you going?" "I'm going to go help our hero." Twilight explained "I have to do it, I'm a princess!" "Twilight, he'll be fine!" reassured Applejack But Twilight was stern. "No, this is a princess's duty so I can't let anypony remain in danger!" she said firmly. "Spike, try talking to her." said Fluttershy "But what can I do." moaned Spike "Twilight won't listen to reason at a moment like this." "And I don't think I can be of any help either." said Discord "Everypony, please, just escape with your lives, this is something that I really need to do if I am to live up to my expectations as a princess!" said Twilight pleadingly. With that, Twilight turned away and continued to go look for Flash Sentry. "Who knows," said Pinkie Pie after Twilight had gone. "She probably just wanted to make sure that her boyfriend was going to be all right." Meanwhile, Fassbender's entire demon army had found Flash. The result was quite surprising in the next moment. Even though, it was one against a army of a hundred demons, Flash defeated the entire army and won the battle. Flash didn't quite know how he did it but all at the same time, he began to feel himself glowing and getting more powerful. "Now to find Fassbender." he said bravely as he left Fassbender's henchmen all in a pile. "Now that battle felt like something way out of this world!" said Snickers "Oh, shut up!" said Luther and Roxy As Flash continued to go look for Fassbender, he began to hear the mighty footsteps of the ruthless demon. Soon Fassbneder came into sight, carrying a nasty surprise. Flash got shocked! Fassbender had captured Twilight and in her arms.
Chapter 1Part 1: If you were to journey to the mystical, magical land of Equestria, you'd get to meet a bunch of friendly faces in such places like a town called Ponyville. This is the home of the Mane Six, also known as Twilight and her friends. However, this story of ours does not focus on any of these ponies. Instead, it is going to focus in on the life of Flash Sentry. Flash Sentry was born on a island called West Curvia. He was fond of this island being his birthplace. There were two reasons why. He liked music and when he found out that West Curvia had been home to many up-and-coming music performers, he decided to become one too. Flash also liked the seaside, and islands are usually surrounded by beaches. West Curvia is a lovely place during the summer in the daytime but not at nighttime. West Curvia Island has been known for having fierce summer storms during the night. Thunder and lightning flashes across the sky and rain drizzles everywhere. West Curvia Island is a nice place to be all year long but the climate conditions are a little unusual during this season. The days are sunny, but at night, there are summer storms about. West Curvia Island is not only known for it's stormy seasons but also the way the island is shaped by it's curves. West Curvia is also well known for having a summer home community in the East part of it. Summer homes on West Curvia belong to citizens of Equestria whenever they come to this island to spend their summer trips here. Each summer home is placed side by side and across from each other. These types of houses belong to the local. At the far end of this district, there are also houses that have plenty of space all around them, guarded by gates. These are the type of houses that have been purchased by some of the royals. Not too long ago, one of these royal summer houses got to be purchased by Princess Twilight Sparkle as a request from her recently married husband, Flash Sentry. This happened around the time when Princess Twilight gave birth to their first two kids, twin baby ponies, Stuart and Sherri. Now and then, during the summer, Flash and his family would sometimes come to this summer home of theirs when they felt like they were in need of a change or felt like taking a vacation. For Flash, it was to come see his hometown again once in a while. Tonight, we come to this royal house to find all about this story that Flash Sentry is in. It happened long ago in this land of Equestria. As common as before, the wind was fierce and the waves were crashing on the beach. It was keeping the two twin baby ponies, Stuart and Sherri up who were already tucked away in their bed and snuggled up in their blankets. Even though, they were in the safety of their own home, they didn't feel safe with a storm taking place around them. All they could do was look out the window and listen to the storm. Sometimes, they would also look around their bedroom and stare at the creepy shadows. At one point, they began to hear the floor outside of their bedroom creak. After a few moments, it stopped creaking. They began to see the knob on their door turn and it creaked open. Stuart and Sherri gasped in horror! They quickly covered themselves up in their blankets and trembled like never before. As they did, they heard a calm, soothing, familiar voice: "Hey, are you guys still up?" Stuart and Sherri stopped trembling and came out from under the covers. They came face-to-face with their loving Daddy, Flash Sentry. They were pleased to see him. Their Dad sat down in a chair. "I know what's keeping you two up." said Flash "It's the storm, right." "I think what Sherri and I need, Dad, is a story to listen to." said Stuart "That always helps us fall asleep." "Can you read us 'Joey in the Outback' book again?" asked Sherri "That's always been our favorite!" Flash turned around to look at his children's book shelf behind him and stared at their collection for a moment. He swung around momentarily. "How about a different kind of story for tonight?" asked Flash "Okay but will it have action and adventure in it?" asked Stuart "Does it have romance, cuteness, and most importantly, a happy ending?" asked Sherri "Get real, Sherri." laughed Stuart "What?!" grumbled Sherri "Now, now, kids, be nice" said Flash. "Or I'm not going to tell you the story." "Okay, we promise." said the twins "The story I'm about to tell you" said Flash. "Is a true occurrence that happened between your Mother and I, many years ago in this land of Equestria." "Cool! A true story." said Stuart as he and Sherri laid their backs down on their bed and got ready to listen. "Once upon a time..." began Flash "In the land of Equestria, a unicorn called Twilight Sparkle who was always worried about her studies, was one day sent to Ponyville by her mentor, Princess Celestia, to know all about the magic of friendship. She met five other ponies there who all became close friends with each other. They would later on find out that each of them resembled a different face of friendship that had connections to the magical artifacts "the elements of harmony." These artifacts helped them defeat evil wrong-doers and would-be conquerors whenever they were called upon Princess Celestia to help her defeat these enemies. This made them look like hero's. Even though, Twilight and her friends were the true guardians of friendship, that didn't seem to be true all the time as you are about to hear in this story. In this story, that hero got to be me. I can't remember how long ago it was when I first met your Mother but in the events that are about to follow will show you that they have plenty to do with her."
Chapter 2 Chapter 2 "It all began on a true, stormy night like this" said Flash "when the wind was howling and making horrifying noises. I was fast asleep in my bed at the Crystal Empire where I used to serve as one of the royal guards there. That night had not only brought a storm, but also a nightmare for me. I was dreaming about my long-lost younger sister, Julia. Julia was my long-lost sister since I had never seen her for many years. I actually hadn't seen her since my childhood but there was a reason to that. It was right here, on this island, when Julia went missing. That was back when I was ten years old and Julia was nine years old. My family and I were on a trip visiting the North part of West Curvia. We were at the beach one evening, nearby some woods. My Mom and Dad had built a campfire, ready to roast some marshmallows and graham crackers over it. I had brought my guitar to play some songs. Julia was running around like crazy, feeling like she was free to do whatever she wanted. She usually felt like that whenever we were on vacation, wherever we were. When it got really dark, it happened! My family and I were still enjoying ourselves as I performed songs on my guitar and my parents sang along with them. Julia wasn't sitting around the campfire at that time. She was still running around us when she stopped suddenly. She ran over to me and yelled out: "Tag! You're it, Flash." "Not right now, Julia." I laughed "I'm kind of in the middle of something here." "Aw, come on." said Julia "You know you want to!" "Julia, please." I said "I know why," said Julia. "You're just being scared!" "Okay, you asked for it!" I cried as I threw my guitar down and began chasing after Julia. Julia was a real fast runner that I was not able to catch up with her but I was not ready to give up during that moment. As we drew near towards the woods, our Dad called out to us: "Don't you two wander too far!" "It's fine, Dad." I said "I'm keeping an eye on her." Soon, Julia and I were in the woods but not too far away from our parents. We could still hear the beach. Julia was laughing even more as I kept chasing after her. At one point, as I turned around a corner of a tree, I could no longer see Julia anywhere! That instantly shocked me out of my mind. "Julia, where did you go?" I asked anxiously There was no reply. "Come on, Julia," I said. "This isn't funny. Do you want Mom and Dad to find out about this and get us into trouble." There was still no reply to be heard. I ventured further into the woods. As I turned around another corner, I gasped and began to scream really loudly in terror, so loud that my parents could hear me all the way at the beach. They started rushing over in a hurry. When they found me, they were lost in confusion. "Flash, what's wrong?" asked my Mother "Where's Julia?" asked my Dad "In front of us." I said in a slow and shaky voice. My parents looked over to where my eyes were and we all came face-to-face with a gigantic, ferocious-looking demon wearing a top hat and cape. He had Julia in his arms and was covering her mouth. There were tears in Julia's eyes like never before. "C-can we help you?" asked my Dad nervously. "Please, don't hurt our daughter." shrieked my Mom "Just give her back." I protested and began lurching forward. "KEEP AWAY!" growled the demon "Or I'll break her neck!" I paused quickly. We stared at each other some more. "Are you going to give us back our daughter?" asked my Dad angrily. "Her name is Julia, she's only nine years old!" shouted my Mom "Look," I said calmly. "Let's make a deal. We'll let you know that we won't tell a single living soul that we saw you in this part of Equestria. Not ever. In exchange for that, can we please have Julia back?" The demon stared at us for a long moment until he said: "I have a better idea. I think I'll take my chances with Julia here while all of you run back to that Princess Celestia of yours and warn to tell her that "the Scoundrel" was here. In the meantime, I'm bringing Julia back to my home on Demon Island." "What are you going to do to her?" I asked in horror. "Why, nothing at all." said "the Scoundrel" "But I am going to turn her into one of my slaves. Until we meet again, which is who knows when, I might give her back by then." We watched in fright as the demon known as "the Scoundrel" made a triumphant laugh and flung his cape around him and Julia. Together they disappeared in clouds of red-orange smoke. The next day, we dashed over to Canterlot as fast as we could. In no time at all, we were inside Princess Celestia's castle, in one of the main halls. Princess Celestia came out to greet us.
Chapter 4"During my childhood, I had always thought of becoming a music performer with my guitar." I continued on. "Now that Julia's disappearance had come up, I decided to become a royal guard instead since I thought it would help me find Julia. That's how I ended up at the Crystal Empire, protecting the prince and princess of that empire, Shining Armor and Cadence. After remembering all of that in my dream, that's when I woke up with a gasp. I was soon reminded where I was, I was asleep in bed, here at the Crystal Empire with all the other royal guards. I went back to sleep and cried. Before I did, I noticed some pictures perched on my dresser drawer beside me. The first picture was a photo of my family, Julia, and I. Tears swelled in my eyes as I looked at it. The next picture I came to was a photo of Twilight. I smiled at it and sighed. I went back to bed. Before Twilight came into my life, I still remember how my first love had always been Sunset Shimmer, Princess Celestia's first student to rule by her side. When Twilight became my next pony to fall in love with, I was glad that I broke up with Sunset Shimmer. Sunset never seemed to give me the comfort and sympathy that I needed whenever I talked to her about the disappearance of Julia. All she wanted to talk about was what did I think of her. However, Twilight was a very understanding pony which was very sweet of her. I smiled as I saw Twilight in more of my dreams as I dozed off. I was dreaming about how Twilight and I first met. I still don't know what got Twilight interested in a pony like me though, but she would usually tell me that she had this urge where she thought it was time for her to find true love. When she saw me, she thought she came to the right choice. Twilight and I didn't instantly start going on dates, however. We were always too busy. Twilight had become a princess, had a kingdom to take care of, and keep up with her studies. And I was a royal guard at the Crystal Empire. Even though, we would always send each other letters to show how much we loved one another. Finally, after several years of writing letters, came a moment where we had become inseparable.
Chapter 5It was a cold, cloudy, windy night. Princess Twilight and her friends were exploring their new castle in Ponyville some more like they do every weekend night. What exactly were Twilight and her friends doing this for? They wanted to find out if there were any secrets hidden in this castle that had something to do with their friendship. They were just walking through the hallways when they came to some stairs that led downwards. They took the chance at it. The stairs brought them to a door which then led them to the basement of the castle. As they ventured through, Spike and the ponies came across a bunch of boxes, shelves, and filing cabinets, all covered in dust and cobwebs. They began searching through but all they could find were some more books, along with photos, stacks of paper, and maps. "I still really don't understand." said Twilight "What are we here for? What does all of this have got to do with our friendship? What does it all mean?" "Never mind, Twilight." said Rainbow Dash "We're only doing this for fun, remember?" said Pinkie Pie "We just want to know what else this castle has to offer us." said Rarity But Twilight did mind. "I know but I feel as though this is something that we should be taking seriously." she complained "You're always taking things seriously." mumbled Spike "Like more than ever, after all, you are now a princess." Spike opens up one of the filing cabinets in the corner. He takes a look inside and browses through. He comes to a curious section marked "letters." He takes the section of the folder out, opens it up, and gets a surprise! "WOAH!" cried Spike "Twilight, guys! You've got to come and take a look at this!" Twilight and her friends dash over to where Spike is. "What do you have there, Spike?" asked Applejack "This is a collection of letters addressed to and from between Twilight and Princess Celestia." said Spike "Let me see." said Twilight Twilight looks through the folder, and Spike is right. "That's strange." said Fluttershy "How did those get there?" "I have no idea but those got there, somehow." said Rainbow Dash "Well, somepony must've put them there." said Applejack "The question is, why?" wondered Twilight Spike continues looking through the filing cabinet. "Hey, what's this?" he wondered and took out another section of a folder. "This one is marked... "READ AT YOUR OWN RISK!" "Let me see." said Twilight Twilight browses through and begins making a shocked face. "What's wrong, Twilight?" asked Pinkie Pie "Is everything alright?" wondered Rarity "Why... These are letters addressed to and from between Fassbender and I." cried Twilight "Who?!" asked the mane five "Fassbender!" said Spike "That tyrant of a pony." "He's my ex-boyfriend back from my school days." explained Twilight "I met him around the time I first became Princess Celestia's assistant. How we met, it was one school day during a break when this male unicorn came up to me and said he liked me. After that, we became very close and would go on these dates like going to the senior prom. Even though, we had sort of a love-hate relationship. Sometimes Fassbender would treat other ponies very disrespectfully. He was awkward and rude to everypony who would accidentally make a mistake in front of him. This, of course, I did not like." "That's Fassbender, all right." said Spike "Always being a nuisance, thinking that he was some kind of a king." "I decided that I had to break up with him." continued Twilight "Besides, I was Princess Celestia's assistant and I didn't have the time to go on a date with Fassbender all the time. When I told him that we had to break up, he became very heartbroken. He said he was about to propose to me at that time and decided to leave Equestria all together in disgust. Since then, I've forgotten all about Fassbender until finding these letters that we wrote to each other." "So, Flash Sentry is not your first boyfriend?" asked Pinkie Pie "That's not important right now. The question is, what are these letters doing here, and why are they marked with "READ AT YOUR OWN RISK!" wondered Twilight "It's a mystery." said Applejack "Another mystery is that since Fassbender left me, I kept on getting this thought that I don't need to feel like I had to miss him." said Twilight "That always strikes me as a strange thing." Twilight flips through some more of the "READ AT YOUR OWN RISK!" letters. When she gets to the last page, there is another puzzling surprise. "This isn't a letter!" cried Twilight "What is it then?" asked Rainbow Dash Twilight shows her friends and Spike a drawing of some kind of figure. "What is that?" asked Rarity "I have no idea!" said Twilight "It's really hard to tell since whoever made this painting didn't draw it out very clearly." "All we can tell is that it's tall and is colored in a bunch of dark colors." said Pinkie Pie "Oh, I hope it's nothing scary." shivered Fluttershy Then, Twilight noticed something else. "Hey, there's something written on the back of this drawing." she said Twilight flips over the drawing and tries to read the saying on it. "What's it say?" asked Rainbow Dash "I think it saids..." began Twilight "For whoever possesses magic may be able to read this. Read this entire line on the back of this drawing out loud in the Everfree Forest and the mysterious figure in the drawing that you hold will be free, once again!" "What does that all mean?" wondered Twilight "Beats me." said Applejack "Well then, come on." said Twilight as she began heading upstairs. "Where are we going?" asked Fluttershy "To the Everfree Forest, where else." said Twilight "But why." asked Pinkie Pie "To get to the bottom of these mysteries." said Twilight The mane five look at each other for a moment, and follow Twilight. "Hey, Spike, Fluttershy, aren't you guys coming?" asked Rainbow Dash "Ah, no thanks." said Fluttershy "We'll stay behind and try to find if there's anything else that's interesting around here." said Spike The mares leave as Spike makes himself comfy in one spot beside Fluttershy and takes out a comic book. "You want to hear how private eye, Clue Snooper, made out in this next edition?" asked Spike "It's thrilling and exciting." "Um, uh, on second thought, I think I'd better continue checking up on Twilight and everypony else." said Fluttershy as she dashed for the stairs and tried to catch up with her friends. Spike shrugged, and went into reading his comic book.
Chapter 6As the night grew darker and colder, the mane six left their castle and headed for the Everfree Forest. Soon they were in the deepest part of the woods in the forest. "I think this is a good spot to read this line out loud." said Twilight "I still hope we know what we are doing." said Applejack "Relax, Applejack, we're just going to read some kind of magical spell. It's not going to hurt anypony." said Pinkie Pie "I hope you're right." replied Fluttershy Twilight took the drawing out again. She examined the drawing one more time. She flipped it over and read the line out loud again. "For whoever possesses magic may be able to read this. Read this entire line on the back of this drawing out loud in the Everfree Forest and the mysterious figure in the drawing that you hold will be free, once again!" said Twilight The mane six wait for a moment but nothing happens. "Maybe you need to say it louder." thought Rainbow Dash Twilight tried again, loudly. But still, nothing happened. "I think we need to say it all together." said Rarity All together, the mane six said the line loudly. They waited for something to happen when suddenly, flashes and lightning bolts started coming out of the paper Twilight was holding! But they were coming from the other side of the paper where the drawing was. Twilight dropped the piece of paper in horror as she and her friends watched it fall to the ground while the flashes and lightning continued ferociously glowing out of the drawing. They began to grow bigger, and bigger, and bigger. The next thing that the six ponies were looking at right now, was a sight where it looked as though the figure in the drawing was coming to life. The figure began to rise out of the paper! The six friends still didn't say anything, they were much too stunned. Finally, the figure that used to be a drawing was now a breathing, living thing. He was no longer inside the paper. He was now in the pony universe. "What is that thing?" whispered Rainbow Dash "I think it's... it's..." said Twilight The monster looks down at the six ponies and shows them a clear vision of what he is than the drawing. "IT'S A DEMON!" shouted Twilight Then all the ponies see Fluttershy making a run for it while screaming her head off. "What a great idea, Fluttershy." said Rarity "Wait for us." said Rainbow Dash All of the ponies begin making a run for it and soon catch up with Fluttershy. But before they can make it back home to Ponyville, a enormous wall made of trees and vines blocks their path. "We're trapped!" cried Applejack "There's no way out and he's coming to get us." shivered Fluttershy "Perhaps that magical spell WAS going to hurt someponies." said Pinkie Pie "Then there's only one way out of this." said Twilight bravely. "We're going to have to fight him off." "I suppose we must." said Fluttershy The ponies begin making fighting poses to show that they're ready to battle. Then they noticed something strange. It didn't sound as though the demon was coming after them. A shadow appeared moments later. Twilight and her friends get ready some more. But when the shadow starts taking shape, it begins to look like a pony. The six ponies start getting confused. Out of the shadows, came a male unicorn. Twilight recognized him instantly! "Why, you're Fassbender!" she cried "Twilight how has it been." said Fassbender happily. "Fassbender, are you alright? There was this gigantic demon and it looked as though it was going to come after us. Did you see it?" asked Twilight "Twilight, I know it's been a long time since we last met but before we go any further, there's something that I've been meaning to tell you for quite a while." said Fassbender as he taps one of his hoofs on the ground. Red-orange smoke appeared all around him. When it settles, Twilight and her friends find a shocking discovery standing right in front of them. There was the demon again! Then Twilight noticed something else. "Why... you're no pony! You're 'the Scoundrel'!" cried Twilight "He's a what?" asked Rainbow Dash "Princess Celestia told me about you before." explained Twilight "You're a demon who can perform all kinds of dark magic and has always wanted to rule Equestria. But how could I not know that I had a demon as a ex-boyfriend for this whole time." "Perhaps you weren't always the brightest little pony you are today, Princess Twilight, or should I say, my soon-to-become queen!" laughed "the Scoundrel" "What?!" shrieked Twilight "You see, Twilight and friends, I am a ruler of an empire called Demon Island up in northern Equestria." explained "the Scoundrel" "But it was a poor place to live. It has war, poverty, and starvation. So I promised my fellow demons a new world. What I had to do was expand my empire some more but I knew that your precious ol' Princess Celestia would agree to no such thing. But when I heard that she got you, Twilight Sparkle, as her assistant, that's when I disguised myself as one of those male unicorns, became Twilight's boyfriend, we broke up, and I decided to give up. Not too long after that, I decided to give another try but before I was about to, I could no longer get off the island. It was now surrounded by fog. I thought that Princess Celestia must've suspected that I was "the Scoundrel" in disguise so she must've put a spell on the island so that demons could no longer escape from the island. I don't think she ever told you about that, Twilight. Maybe because she didn't want to put you into too much shock about your love life or maybe you already knew! But now that you and your friends have summoned me with your magic... Ah, what kind of magic was it, it couldn't have been dark magic." "It's the magic of friendship, and it's strong." said Twilight bravely. "And we're not afraid to use it." said Pinkie Pie "The magic of friendship!" laughed "the Scoundrel" "Please, you must be joking. How could good magic be able to summon something so horrible as me?!" "We're not kidding!" growled Rainbow Dash "I don't care whether you are or not." snarled "the Scoundrel" "Anyway, where was I... Ah, yes, now that I am free again, I can pick up where I left off." "Of what?" asked Applejack angrily. "To conquer Equestria into my own version, eliminate Princess Celestia and the rest of the princesses, and make Twilight my queen." explained "the Scoundrel" "You'll never get away with no such thing!" barked Rainbow Dash "You want to get through, you'll have to battle us first." said Rarity "Or what, you'll try to stop me with your elements of harmony which you gave away to that tree, or some other element that represents friendship which none of you have right now." laughed "the Scoundrel" "Give it up you interfering fools, you can't stop me!" "The Scoundrel" shoots out some beams and fires at the mane six. Twilight and her friends blast off the ground like they were just standing on top of a box of explosives and fly everywhere, all around the Everfree Forest. "That's right, out of my way you fools, I have a kingdom to claim as mine." laughed "the Scoundrel" The ponies regain consciousness and go after "the Scoundrel." "The Scoundrel" is just about to head off to Ponyville but then he looks behind him to find the mane six catching up to him. "Well, well, no wonder ponies are a mess, they just want to keep on coming back for more." mumbled "the Scoundrel" "You still haven't defeated us..." said Rarity "We're not... going to... give up." said Applejack "You... you... scoundrel!" said Rainbow Dash "Please, "the Scoundrel" is my nickname, call me Fassbender." said Fassbender Fassbender gets ready to heave another beam towards the mane six but then they notice something. Fassbender looks towards the sky. The mane six look behind themselves. They find more demons coming. The winged kind! "Oh, good!" said Fasbender happily. "My fellow demons have arrived to come and help me. After all, you ponies did break the spell that Princess Celestia put on my island which makes every demon free from that fog. Can't you see, we've become unbeatable, there's no pony who can stop us now!" The mane six continue looking at the winged demons coming closer to them in horror.
Chapter 7Back at the castle, in the basement, Spike was still reading his new comic book, when he started to hear some odd, frightening noises coming from outside. They sounded like screams. Spike dropped his comic, dashed for the stairs, and to the exit of the castle to see what all the noise was about. When Spike burst through the doors, he found ponies of Ponyville getting captured by demons and being taken over to Fassbender where they were rounding all the ponies up. They were getting placed in a portal that Fassbender had opened up with his dark magic. It lead back to Demon Island where the demons were imprisoning the ponies and turning them into their slaves. "Hey, what gives?!" wondered Spike "Get that dragon!" shouted a demon "WOAH!" cried Spike But before he could make a run for it, a demon scooped him up and took him back to the portal. "We found this baby dragon by the Ponyville Castle." said the demon "What should we do with him?" "Put him in the dungeon cell where I put Twilight's friends. They'd be pleased to have him there." "Yes, sir." said the demon as he headed into the portal with Spike in panic. "Mr. Fassbender, sir," said another demon. "We found this guy over by Fluttershy's cottage, what do you think we should do with him?" Fassbender looked behind the demon and found some more of his henchmen carrying Discord, all tied up. "Let me go, you disrespectful brutes!" growled Discord "You're Discord, the spirit of chaos!" cried Fassbender "I've heard plenty about you before." "And you're Fassbender, the demon king, I suppose." remarked Discord "I've also heard about how you once partnered up with Lord Tirek one time but decided to change your mind about it at the last minute. That must mean you have no interest in joining my team either. After all, you're using your powers for good, instead of evil now. All because you had to think about how much magic there can be in friendship." "Friendship is a good thing, it can help and change you! Try to come to your senses, Fassbender." Fassbender glared at Discord for several moments. "You're a disgrace!" Fassbender said at last. "To the dungeon with him, and lock him up good." he said to his henchmen. The demons carry Discord away along with the rest of the ponies. "This is the life isn't it, Luther, Snickers, Roxy, don't you think everything is going exactly as I planned many years ago?" said Fassbender to his main assistants. "Yes, boss, but what about every land in Equestria?" asked Luther "Luther, did I say that we were ONLY going to conquer Ponyville?" said Fassbender "No, sir, you said every land in Equestria is going to be ours." said Snickers "Which is what we are going to do!" yelled Fassbender "Now you three idiots stop mumbling around and asking me questions and tell me what is the next land we need to conquer?" "Mr. Fassbender, sir," said Roxy. "I think Luther was asking about..." "What's the next land to conquer?" growled Fassbender "Come with us." sighed Roxy Soon Fassbender and his army of demons were gathering up all the ponies of Equestria. The unicorns, Pegasuses, and Earth. They reached Canterlot, and Fassbender zapped Princess Celestia and her sister Luna away. "There's no use for those alicorns." laughed Fassbender "We don't need to bring them back to Demon Island. I think they would rather spend the rest of their miserable life's in the Prison Lands of Utter Nothingness." It wasn't long until the entire demon army reached the Crystal Empire too. They gathered up all the Crystal Ponies, defeated Shining Armor and all the other guards, and banished Princess Cadence also to the Prison Lands of Utter Nothingness. Every time, the demons came to a territory of Equestria, Fassbender's main assistants checked to see if they got every pony there was. When they were checking at the Crystal Empire, they noticed something strange. "Excuse me, Mr. Fassbender, sir." said Snickers "Yes?" asked Fassbender "There seems to be a pony missing here." said Luther "What kind?" "He's some kind of a Pegasus who serves as a guard at the Crystal Empire but he's a regular kind. Not one of those crystallized ponies." said Roxy "Maybe he's hiding someplace. Should we go find him?" asked Luther Fassbender walks angrily over to Shining Armor. "Tell me, is this true?" asked Fassbender "I'll never tell you!" snapped Shining Armor Fassbender grabs a hold of Shining Armor's neck and begins strangling it. Fassbender lets go. "Now will you tell me?" asked Fassbender "Okay, okay, his name is Flash Sentry, he's on vacation but that's all I'm going to give!" said Shining Armor "Flash Sentry," said Fassbender. "Now, why does that name sound familiar?" "Should we get the location of this Flash Sentry too." asked Roxy "No, it's fine." said Fassbender "Let this Flash Sentry surprise me instead." "What does that mean?" asked Luther and Snickers "Wait and see." sneered Fassbender as he walked into the portal, back to Demon Island.
Chapter 8At last, Fassbender's plan was almost complete. He had captured all the ponies of Equestria and imprisoned them on Demon Island. All was left to do was wait until his demon army were done demolishing and rebuilding every piece of land in Equestria for his own version of his kingdom, turn every pony into demon slaves, and make Princess Twilight his queen. "My life-long dream is finally coming true after so many years." smiled Fassbender to his henchmen as he sat in his den on Demon Island and looked through a bunch of monitors showing his demon army crushing Equestria. "Once my minions are done turning Equestria into Demontopia, the capital of my empire, I can then marry Princess Twilight and make her my queen. After that, we'll begin our new life, turn all those ponies into our slaves, and then all our problems will be over." Fassbender gets out of his chair and walks out of his den followed by his henchmen. Fassbender and his henchmen come to a hallway where prison cells are perched on each side. They are all filled with ponies yelling and bad-mouthing Fassbender. "You three," said Fassbender. "See if you can tone down that noise these fools are making." "Yes, sir." said Luther as he takes out a microphone and starts talking to the ponies with it. "Uh, attention, attention, may we please have your attention please. Mr. Fassbender requests that the noise you are making gets toned down a little." The ponies don't listen and can't hear. They are making too much noise. Fassbender grabs the microphone away from Luther. "Give me that!" snarls Fassbender "You're doing it all wrong. You need to do it more like this. ALL OF YOU, SHADDUP!" Every pony becomes quiet. "I like it when I do that." laughed Fasbender "Fassbender, leave them alone!" shouted Twilight who was in none of the prison cells but in a cage that was hooked to the ceiling. "Well then what are you going to do about it, Princess Twilight Sparkle?" chortled Fassbender "Have yourself and all these ponies use your magic against me? You know that's impossible since I've gotten rid of all the princesses of Equestria, and without them magic is unable to work in this world." Fassbender laughs and laughs as he and his henchmen leave the prison cell hallway. After they have gone, Spike starts coughing uncontrollably. Twilight's friends step back a little except for Rainbow Dash who hits Spike on the back to help him with his coughing. Finally, Spike hacks out a small magical orb. It bounces on the floor, out of the prison cell, and floats upwards towards Twilight's cage. Twilight peers inside the orb and finds Princess Celestia and all the other princesses inside it in the Prison Lands of Utter Nothingness. "Princess Celestia!" said Twilight "I'm sorry... I think this is my fault. My friends were looking for some information on the meaning of our friendship and while we were, we accidentally summoned "the Scoundrel" demon." "It's nobody's fault, Twilight." said Princess Celestia "After Fassbender left Equestria as a pony a long time ago, and when I suspected that he was a demon in disguise, I put a spell on his island to make sure no other demon would escape. But I think Fassbender was being stubborn so he came up with a magic trick that was very dark of him." "What kind of a magic trick?" asked Twilight "He made a drawing of himself but didn't make it come out too good." explained Princess Celestia "He put a curse on it that whoever found the drawing would be able to summon him from his fog prison. He made the drawing disappear and sent it someplace where you, Twilight would might be able to find it. But I never thought it would end up in a file section in your castle." "Princess Celestia, why didn't you tell me my ex was a demon for this whole time?" asked Twilight "I thought it would shock you too much." explained Princess Celestia "Besides, by the time I found out, you had already moved on and thought you wouldn't care." "Princess Celestia, who's going to save us?" asked Twilight "I've already thought of somepony but I don't want to say who it is." said Princess Celestia "No," cried Twilight. "Don't tell me. Please, don't make him do it, don't pick him!" "I have to, Twilight. He's the only one who can save us. I have to go now." "I understand." said Twilight sadly. The magical orb disappears in front of Twilight. At the Prison Lands, Princess Celestia begins making preparations for her plan. "Princess Cadence, are you sure he's gone through all the training that Shining Armor gave him and that he will be able to defeat a demon such as 'the Scoundrel'?" asked Princess Celestia "I have to say yes!" said Princess Cadence "He's our only chance." "Sister Luna," Went on Princess Celestia. "Will you be able to send that kind of important message to him through a dream?" "I've never done day-dreams before but I'll try as hard as I can." promised Princess Luna Princess Luna raised her horn in the air as she got ready to send the valuable message to Flash Sentry while Princess Celestia and Cadence stepped back.
Chapter 9Where was Flash Sentry for this whole time while Equestria got taken over by demons? A week ago, Flash was given a vacation by Shining Armor and Cadence when they thought that he had been working really hard at the Crystal Empire that they decided that he needed a break as a reward. Flash decided to spend his vacation by visiting his birthplace, West Curvia Island. There he was on the beach, sitting in a fold-up chair. Surrounded by waves, sand, surfboards, and palm trees. He had his guitar in his lap which goes to show that he had just been strumming some tunes and singing harmonies for his own company. Now he had fallen asleep and was dozing off to dreamworld. Beside Flash, was a glass table. Perched on it, was a glass of lemonade and a picture frame of Twilight. This makes Flash dream about Twilight, the letters they would send to each other, and how he was in disappointment that she wasn't able to come with him on his vacation. All of a sudden, his happy dreams about Twilight get interrupted with a unusual kind of nightmare. In his dozing mind, he started to see Twilight, all alone and sad, in some kind of deserted ghost town of Ponyville. "Flash? Flash?" called Twilight sadly "Where have you gone? Why couldn't you travel to Ponyville to come see me anymore...? Or defeat the demon tyrant, Fassbender? I had to marry him so that he could spare my friends and all the other ponies who have become slaves to the newly established demon world. We are still prisoners of Demon Island which is in the northern direction of your birthplace. If only if you could have done something! The magic of friendship is all gone!" Twilight fades away, and Princess Luna appears. "Save her, Flash! Save us all!" Princess Luna called Flash wakes up with a start from this terrifying dream sequence. He looks all around him but everything seems to be normal. Then, he looks up at the sky which are still blue but get gobbled up by very dark clouds in one second. Flash looked over to where the horrifying clouds were coming from. It appeared to look as though they were coming from the north. Flash thought for a moment and tried to make sense of what was going on. He soon came to a decision. "What's gone wrong with our world...?" he thought in a panicked tone. "It feels like it's crumbling apart before my very eyes. I've got to do something!" said Flash bravely. Flash got out of the chair and headed for his summer home. Once back inside, Flash opened up the closet and found his armor waiting for him there. He quickly changed into it. "It's a good thing I like carrying this around." said Flash "Wait for me, Twilight and everypony else, I'm coming for you. So you'd better watch out, Fassbender, you scoundrel." "And then what happened?" asked Sherri "Yeah, that can't be the ending." complained Stuart "Where's the part where you get to battle that demon?" "Well, that's the end..." said their Dad "But it wasn't a happy ending!" moaned Sherri "It's the end of part one that is." said Flash "So there will be a continuation of the story, but that will have to wait until next time. Besides, it's getting very late. You kids need to be asleep by now." "Okay, Dad." yawned Sherri "You promise us you will tell the rest of the story tomorrow night?" asked Stuart "Certainly," said Flash "good night." The twins went to sleep as Flash flipped off the lamp in the bedroom, walked out, and closed the door behind him as the storm outside continued raging on.
Chapter 10Part: 2 It was nighttime on present-day West Curvia Island when all the bustle and hustle had come to an end and everypony set off back to their nice, cozy summer houses for rest. At the Sentry's residency, the father, Flash, was just passing by his kids' bedroom, when Stuart and Sherri popped out through the door. "Dad." whispered Sherri "Can you tell us the rest of the story?" asked Stuart "You mean the one about how I got married to your mother?" wondered Flash "Right!" said the twins "But please remind us of the story so far." put in Stuart Flash went inside the bedroom along with his kids. The kids gathered themselves on top of their bed as Flash sat down in the chair next to them. The kids began to listen and here's the rest of the story Flash told them. "It all began," continued Flash. "when Twilight and her friends were searching for the meaning of their friendship. In the process, they accidentally summoned a demon known as Fassbender "the Scoundrel." He quickly began taking over Equestria and decided to make Princess Twilight his queen. Now comes the part where I'm off to the rescue. Word soon spread all over West Curvia Island about the tragic demon attack in Equestria and that Flash was on his way to Demon Island to foil the menacing ordeal. As Flash dashed through the beach towns towards the northern part of the boat piers on the island, ponies leaped out of their windows and doors to wave and wish Flash "good luck." In no time at all, Flash reached the northern pier with a sailor who was waiting and ready for him. "Where to?" asked the sailor "Can you take me to the deepest northern part around here?" asked Flash "Certainly, but I'll only go up to where it gets too foggy." "Thank you." Flash and the sailor hopped aboard the boat, and they set off through the fog and the raging dark clouds. Back at Demon Island, Fassbender and his henchmen were still waiting for the re-building of Equestria. While they waited, they decided to watch some cartoons which are previous existing TV series of the "My Little Pony" franchise, when suddenly, a buzzer began to ring. "Oh, no!" cried Snickers "It's the emergency red light." said Luther "Put up the scanners and switch the monitors." commanded Fassbender Fassbender's henchmen do as they are told and find a dot closing in on the center of the scanners. They realize it's the boat that has Flash on board. "That must be the so-called Flash Sentry which we recently found out about." said Roxy "Coming to stop us, I'll bet." said Snickers "I told you we should've gone after that Flash Sentry once we got to know his name." grumbled Luther "Now he's on his way here to get in our way. What do you suppose we do now, boss? Uh, boss?" Fassbender is gazing at the monitors with Flash in silence. "That Pegasus!" cried Fassbender "I've seen him before!" "You know that guy?" asked Snickers "Such a long time ago." explained Fassbender "He was only a colt at that time." "And it looks like you two are going to get reunited." said Roxy Fassbender continues to look at the screens as he remembers more and begins to make an eerie smile. "Oh, this just got even better." laughed Fassbender "It's going to become a reunion alright!" "What does that mean?" asked Luther "Follow me." said Fassbender "There's something that will explain all of this." Fassbender gets out of his chair with his henchmen following right behind him. They walk through the hallways of the cave, went past the prison cells room, and came to the deepest end of the hallway with a door blocking their way. "What's behind the creepy door." asked Luther "Are we about to enter an episode of "The Starry Night Zone?" asked Snickers "Wait a second, I recognize this place!" said Roxy "Isn't this your old storage room, boss?" Fassbender takes out some keys and looks through them. He comes to one and places it inside the key-hole. He twists it. "Roxy, you are precisely right. Snickers, no." said Fassbender as he budges the doorknob and turns it. The door opens. Fassbender and his henchmen go inside. "I've never seen this storage room before." said Snickers "What did you use it for, boss?" "Nothing much really." said Fassbender "I used it to store away a bunch of failed plans and things I no longer needed." Fassbender and his henchmen ventured further into the storage room as they past filing cabinets, stacks and stacks of paper and books, and shelves perched with statues of evil-looking creatures. A thought strikes Luther as he brings up a question to Fassbender. "Boss, what are we doing here by the way?" asked Luther "What does this have got to do with that Flash Sentry pony?" Fassbender stops walking. So do his henchmen. "The answer is right in there." said Fassbender as he pointed to the end of the room which was another prison cell. "Sir, we still don't understand." said Roxy "You see, you three," explained Fassbender. "When I was starting out as your new ruler, I began to think about how to expand my empire. That was when I decided that I was going to have to test out my new dark magic skills. I was able to succeed with one where I could transport myself to anyplace in Equestria. I ended up on this island called West Curvia and found a filly all alone in the woods. I captured and brought her here as some kind of warning to give to Princess Celestia. I tried turning her into one of my slaves but it looked like I couldn't master it. I didn't want to return the filly so I locked her away in this dungeon for many years as my prisoner." "Are you trying to say that..." pondered Snickers "Oooh, sir, you are truly evil." said Roxy Fassbender and his henchmen begin to hear some pant-less breathing coming from inside the prison cell. A full-grown mare begins to appear and gazes at them. "What do you want this time, you boneless, ruthless, psychopath?!" asked the mare angrily. "Came by to give you some good news and some bad news." smiled Fassbender fiendishly. "So, why don't we skip to the bad news first. The bad news is, I'm still not going to set you free. The good news is, I'm about to reunite you with someone very special." "What?!" shrieked the mare "What does that all mean?!" "You're about to say hello to your brother, that's what it means!" laughed Fassbender "But before we go out to meet him, you're going to have to do a little something for me,... Julia."
Chapter 11 Chapter 11 Back in the middle of the ocean, Flash and the sailor began to reach the foggiest parts of the north. As it became even more foggier the sailor stopped the boat and turned to Flash. "This is as far as I go." explained the sailor "Thank you." said Flash "Since you can't use your wings to fly now that Fassbender got rid of all the magic in Equestria, you might as well you use this life raft right here." The sailor hands over to Flash the inflatable life raft. "That'll have to do." said Flash The life raft is soon inflated and ready to go. Flash begins paddling off into the fog with it, right towards Demon Island. The scanners and radar systems inside Fassbender's headquarters pick up Flash's senses even more. "Marvelous!" growled Fassbender "With this new plan, Flash Sentry will be mine in no time at all." "He'll soon be joining every other pony in the screening room where we've prepared the brainwashing screen." laughed Snickers "Then you may finally have Princess Twilight all to yourself for the rest of her miserable life." sneered Luther "So we'd better make sure everything goes just exactly as I planned." said Fassbender "Activate exterior traps!" "But we thought you wanted him to get in?" thought Roxy "Yes," said Fassbender. "But we can't make it too easy can we." Out in the ocean, Flash began to notice something. The mist slowly lifted, and there stood Demon Island! Flash cautiously moved forward towards it, nearer and nearer he came. "Sir, I believe, he's onto us." worried Luther "Nonsense!" snarled Fassbender "He knows we have traps waiting for him." At last, Flash reached the shore. He climbed out of the raft and stepped onto the beach. He looked all around him anxiously. He then spotted a rock. Flash began to get an idea. He picked up the rock and threw it in the distance. The rock fell to the ground and sank. Flash was surprised. "Quicksand!" he gasped "There must be pits of them all around me." Flash looked around some more and started to gather all the rocks he could find. He threw each of them over to where there were pits of quicksand. This went on until Flash made it off the beach and into the jungle. "Onto level 2!" smiled Flash "Yes, level 2, indeed." said Fassbender "The sooner the better." Flash was soon wandering through the deep depths of the jungle, making his way to the mountain. But Flash wasn't hurrying. He was slowly moving forward. He was still being too suspicious about the area. "It's quiet," said Flash "Too quiet." Flash was anxiously looking around him some more when suddenly a huge spiderweb came out in front of him. Flash backed away in fright. Then he could see that above him were gigantic, over-sized black widows. They started crawling towards him. Flash got his sword out, ready for battle. "You want a piece of me!" said Flash bravely to the monstrous spiders. "How about I get a piece out of each hairy one of you, instead!" Flash charged for the spiders. The spiders came right at him too. Flash jumped and dodged the spiders every move as he chopped and sliced every bit of them. The spiders collapsed to the ground, all torn up. "That training really did come in handy." smiled Flash Flash looks up, and finds that more gargantuan insects are in his way. Red, spine-tingling, furry, ants and grotesque scorpions. "Come and get me!" said Flash, full of determination. Flash advanced over to the ghastly bugs and turned them all into chopped liver. He came across rivers where there were waiting leeches and crocodiles as he swung across vines without swimming through the streams. After another obstacle, Flash began to notice something else. "This is getting all too weird now." he thought "Fassbender has all these traps wherever I'm around. It's like he's able to sense me whichever place I am." Flash is still wondering how exactly this is possible when a snake came up behind him! It lunged towards Flash as Flash turned around at the same timing and chopped the snake's head off. Flash is about to go on his way again but before he does, he examines the snake a little more closely. He realizes that there's a camera lens hidden inside the snake's eyeball. "Fassbender must have hidden cameras all over!" gasped Flash "No wonder he can track me down wherever I go." "Not to mention scanners and radars." said a breathless, creepy-toned voice. Flash jumped and looked all around him but he could find no one. "I know that's you, Fassbender!" said Flash with courage. "You'd better stop this nonsense of yours before things get too ugly." "Me, surrender!" laughed Fassbender "Who do you think I am?! But let me tell you this, there will be a big surprise waiting for you after getting through all levels. A big, NASTY surprise!" Everything goes silent. Flash continues on his way but gets confused more than ever. "Why would he tell me that he knows how to figure out which part of the jungle I'm in?" wondered Flash "And why would he tell me that there's a surprise waiting for me at the end of the jungle? No matter, I'll just have to go see for myself." Flash continued forward to the mountain. He soon made it out of the jungle and reached it. He began to climb as he tried to search for a way in. Halfway up the mountain, Flash found a cave. He went inside it. The hidden cameras followed Flash's every move on the monitors. "It's time to go meet this Flash Sentry face-to-face." sneered Fassbender as he got out of his seat. "Disable all interior traps, let the foolish colt in!" Roxy turns off all traps on the control board and follows Fassbender. "Is the beast tamed and ready for action?" asked Roxy to Luther and Snickers. "Oh, we've got her under our control alright!" chuckled Snickers "That Flash Sentry will definitely be able to resist slaying this beauty." laughed Luther Flash was now in the deepest interiors of the mountain. But was getting suspicious about a different thing. He hadn't been running into any other traps along the way in. Then, he came to a dead end. He was just getting lost in confusion as lights flickered on. Flash covered his eyes by the sight of them. He opened them back up and found Fassbender and his henchmen standing on top of a ledge in front of him. "At last, I finally get to be reunited with the Flash Sentry after so many years." said Fassbender with an unfriendly smile. "And you must be the scoundrel they call Fassbender." said Flash "It has been a long time hasn't it." grinned Fassbender "You three, fetch me my clothes!" Fassbender's henchmen went inside another cave for a moment and returned shortly with a top hat and cape. Fassbender put them on. "This is the same way you saw me when we first met, didn't it, Sentry." said Fassbender "But that's not all. I still haven't given you the other nasty surprise that I have in mind. Roxy, release the beast!" Roxy pulled a lever right beside her as some cage doors opened up at the bottom of the ledge in front of Flash's hoofs. Out came Flash's other nasty surprise! "Julia!" Flash screamed
Chapter 12But then, Flash began to notice something strange! Julia didn't look happy to see her brother at all. She was angry-eyed and there was something very odd about her. "Julia," said Flash. "It's me, Flash, don't you recognize me?" Flash edges slowly over to Julia but she only growls back. Flash is in horror! "What did you do to her?!" shouted Flash to Fassbender. "Isn't it obvious." Fassbender laughed rudely. "I gave her a taste of my good ol' brainwash, what else." "I demand that you change her back right now!" barked Flash "Why should we?!" remarked Luther "We like this new Julia of ours." chuckled Snickers fiendishly. "And there's nothing you can do about it at all." roared Roxy "Oh, yes I can!" said Flash as he tried to get to where Fassbender and his henchmen were but Julia blocked his path. "Enough," she hissed "I don't know who you are but you leave my master alone." "Julia, what are you talking about?!" said Flash frantically. "It's me, Flash, your brother!" "Stop saying that!" grumbled the evil Julia. "I don't know who you are, alright! Master Fassbender, sir, what should I do with him?" "Nothing much, really." said Fassbender "Tie him up, and throw him into the lava pit." "But we thought you wanted Flash Sentry to be brain-washed too." said Roxy "I didn't say I wanted every pony brain-washed, did I" mumbled Fassbender. "Julia, do as you're told!" "Yes, master." said Julia Julia began to lunge towards Flash as he tried backing away from her. "Julia, you don't want to do this alright!" said Flash. "I'm your brother, try to at least remember me." Julia doesn't listen, she ignores Flash's pleas for mercy as she gets out some rope and gets ready to tie Flash up with it. She pounces on Flash and does just exactly that. Fassbender laughs and laughs. "I knew this was going to work out perfectly." Fassbender said with his evil laugh. "Come on, let's go, we have some unfinished business to care of." Fassbender and his henchmen leave as Julia starts dragging Flash over to the lava pits.
Chapter 13As Julia and Flash neared the lava pit area, Flash began to race through his mind furiously when, a idea came to him! He waited until they were right by the lava pits. Just before the evil Julia was about to push Flash into the lava pit, Flash put his plan into action. "Excuse me, Julia." said Flash "I don't know if you can still remember me but before you make me meet my doom, is it okay if I sang a song to you?" The evil Julia stared at Flash for several moments looking as though she was almost surprised. "Oh, very well then, but make it quick." she snorted "Please, Julia, try to remember me. This song that I wrote since our childhood is about you. I hope it jogs your memory. It must!" Flash began to sing: "My sister helps me find meaning in my life She helps me realize that I need to be there for her Julia's my sister, she's an ocean princess, adores me So I sing this song to show how much I love her Julia, you have seaweed-colored eyes and bright smile, you adore me So I sing this song to show how much I love her Her mane blows everywhere in the wind Through the clouds Julia is a friendly greeting in the morning So I sing this song to show how much I love her When I don't feel happy I can only think of Julia Julia, drowsy Earth, whispering meadows So I sing this song to show much I love her Wonders where I am all the time So I sing this song to show how much I love my sister, Julia" Flash sang and sang the steady, slow song until his voice gave out. By then, he began to realize that the flames in Julia's eyes were now fading away. She was now back to her normal self once again. She looked all around her in confusion. "Flash," she cried. "Is that really you?!" "Yes, Julia," said Flash with a sigh of relief. "It's good to have you back. Now, do you think you can untie me?" Julia soon freed Flash from the ropes and they hurried off to find Fassbender and his evil band of henchmen as Flash explained everything on the way. They came to a group of tunnels that led back inside to the interiors of the island. Flash listened closely to each one of them. He began to hear Fassbender's menacing laugh coming from a tunnel near the far right. Flash was just about to go inside the tunnel but before he did, he turned to Julia first. "Julia, please listen to me!" Flash said. "I have to go battle Fassbender now, but I'm afraid you can't come with me." "But I want to help too." Julia protested "Please, just do as I say, I can't risk losing you again." Julia though about it for a moment until she came to the agreement. "I understand." she said sadly. "Remember, if anything happens here, you make a run for it and try to come and find me as fast as you can." finished Flash, and he dashed for the tunnel and disappeared.
Chapter 14As Flash traveled through the tunnel some more, the closer he got to the sound of Fassbender's sinister laugh. Flash came to a corner and ducked behind it. He then found he had come to the screening room where everypony was strapped to a chair and demons were getting a projector ready to show the brainwashing movie. Fassbender and several of his henchmen were seated too. Flash quickly ran over to another entrance of the screening room where he could get better access to the projector. "No more peace and harmony for this so-called world known as Equestria!" announced Fassbender as he stood up in front of the screen. "Once each and every one of you ponies is done watching this film you'll never want to turn away from me and go back to your normal lives. This is your new future now!" "Projector's all set, boss!" called Snickers "Splendid," said Fassbender fiendishly. "Enough wasting time, press play!" The projector went into life as it began to show a spiraling image on the screen with a creepy voice talking in the background, saying: "You are ponies and meant to serve under the rule of your master, Fassbender, the demon king. You will be joining him and his army of demons in no time at all as soon as this transition is over. Forget about peace and harmony, especially friendship! There's no use for such worthless subjects." Everypony strapped to chairs tried to look away from the screen and shut their eyes but it was no use. Fassbender's henchmen were always keeping a watch on them. Whenever somepony refused to cooperate, the demons would bring over some tape and use it to keep everypony's eyes open. They also had to keep everypony still in order for them to keep looking at the screen. Soon, everypony began to look like they were all going through the brainwashing process. This seemed to continue on when, suddenly, a shattering crash was heard and the screen went blank. Everypony was relieved but some of the demons got confused and surprised. Most of all, Fassbender was furious! He turned around to find the projector smashed to pieces by a enormous piece of rock and looking in very bad condition. "No," cried Fassbender. "That was part of my rare, expensive collection of movie projectors! Who did it?!" he growled ferociously. "It wasn't us!" said Luther and Snickers "But don't worry," said Roxy calmly. "We'll find the culprit, and make him pay!" At that same moment, all the straps on the chairs where the ponies were sitting came loose. In no time at all, ponies were scrambling everywhere, making their escape. But Fassbender didn't do anything, he was much too angry. "Uh, boss, aren't you going to command us to, you know, 'get them'?" asked Luther "It's fine!" said Fassbender "We should be trying to defeat who's responsible for this entire mess instead." "Which means?" asked Snickers "It means go look for the culprit!" yelled Fassbender Soon all the demons set off to go look for Flash Sentry while Fassbender stayed behind. "Uh, sir, what are you going to do?" asked Roxy "Going to try and get my future wife back!" snapped Fassbender "I haven't given up on her yet."
Chapter 16"It looks like it all ends here, old timer!" laughed Fassbender "I don't know how you were able to get that sister of yours out of my trance but I'm not going to ask since that's not important. But I do know that once you made your escape you ruined my whole plan! You sneaked around the screening room to break my valuable projector with a rock and messed with the chair controls. But what I don't understand is how you were able to defeat each and every demon of mine? And why are you glowing like that?" Flash smiled as it all began to make sense to him. "Why don't you ask Princess Twilight," he said. "She's the princess of friendship after all." Fassbender thought for a moment and went into shock. He looked at Twilight and took another glance at Flash. Then Fassbender got furious. He gently took Twilight out of his arms and placed her carefully on the floor. Next, Fassbender took out a sword of his own. "This is the last straw!" he grumbled uncontrollably. "You and I are going to settle this once and for all if this is the last thing I do, Flash Sentry!" "Fassbender, friendship is magical, you have to understand that when Twilight came for me I got stronger and stronger because she really cares about me. There's no point in trying to defeat me!" "I don't care," growled Fassbender. "I'll never believe that there's magic in friendship! You and I are going to finish this if it's going to kill me." "Don't do it, Fassbender!" warned Twilight "You'll only get yourself defeated!" "Enough!" roared Fassbender "This lovable Flash Sentry of yours, Princess Twilight, is going to battle me and there's no use talking me out of it!" "So be it!" said Flash with confidence as he began to glow even more. Fassbender charged right at Flash. So did Flash, as the hero and villain lunged at each other with their swords while Twilight stood back and looked on. At one moment, Flash dropped his sword but received it back in no time when somepony slid it over to him who turned out to be Julia! She had been following Flash the whole time and had now come to watch the fierce battle along with Twilight. A few moments later, Flash's armor and sword began to glow along with him and as Flash struck Fassbender another hit, Fassbender began to feel a little weak. He then found that parts of him were disappearing around the part where Flash had slashed him. "I'm fading away!" shrieked Fassbender "Why is this happening to me?!" "Because you won't believe in the magic of friendship, that's why." explained Flash Just then, all of Fassbender's demons came to the scene just as their boss was fading away some more. Fassbender noticed them. "Do something!" pleaded Fassbender "It's too late!" said his henchmen as they began to notice that they were fading away too. In no time at all, every demon's existence vanished. Then Flash, Twilight, and Julia noticed that everypony who had been trying to escape were around them. They had come back to watch the battle and were now seeing the end of it. Everypony was in cheers by this point. "You did it, Flash!" cried Twilight "Way to go, big brother!" cheered Julia "And, oh, sorry that I decided to tag along. I was just so worried..." "It doesn't matter," said Flash. "You did your part of helping me out too." As everypony continued on towards the exits and soon made it to the beach everypony tried to figure out how they were going to get off the island. At that very same moment, the dark clouds parted away and went back to being a sunny blue sky. Then streaks and streaks of magic dust began floating across the new bright sky. It came pouring down on all the ponies and in no time at all, everypony had their magic back. When Flash got his back, he began floating up towards the sky, even though he didn't have his wings out. Then bursts of colors came out of him in a beam! The colors streaked everywhere across Equestria. Every land of Equestria got rebuilt that the demons had been demolishing and these demons too got faded away. Back on the island, everypony continued gazing at Flash's new powers. After Flash gave one more effort, a blinding flash was made and everypony found things back to normal.
Chapter 17Everypony was back in Canterlot, inside one of the main halls of Princess Celestia's castle. They also noticed that all the other alicorns, Princess Celestia, Luna, and Cadence were back due to Flash Sentry's new powers. Everypony was overjoyed but it didn't last too long. Flash fell to the floor and fainted and everything around him went dark. A few days later, he opened his eyes again and found that he was in bed in a emergency room at a nearby hospital. He looked all around him and found that Twilight, Julia, and the biggest surprise of all, his parents, were all sitting right beside. "Princess Celestia contacted us to let us know that you had found Julia and you were in the hospital. So we rushed on right over." explained the Dad "Now we're going to be a family together again, now that Julia's back and you're well again." smiled the Mom who was almost weeping with joy. "The question is though," said Flash "What happens now from here?" "You'll see." smiled Twilight After Flash got well and checked himself out of the hospital, he was told by Twilight to come with him to Ponyville and bring along his armor. The Sentry family came along too to find out what this was about. When they arrived in Ponyville, they headed over to Twilight's friendship castle. When they entered one of the main halls, all the other ponies were there, Twilight's friends, all the Princesses of Equestria, and everypony else. "What is all this for?" asked Flash "It's about you, Flash!" explained Twilight "Couldn't you tell?" "But why?" asked Flash with surprise. "You're a hero, that's why!" explained Shining Armor "You saved everypony of Equestria, and if I might add, my sister, from a terrible ordeal. You may have earned some new kinds of powers from this experience that you still have a lot to learn about to control but for now, Princess Twilight would like to give you a special honor." Flash looked over to where Twilight was who was now up on a platform at the end of the hallway. Everypony gathered on the sides to let Flash through. Flash looked at his family who had also gathered to the sides. "Go ahead," said Flash's Dad. "It's probably what you wanted after all these years." Flash gulped nervously as he walked over to the platform. Soon he was standing in front of Twilight. Twilight picked up a sword that Spike had been holding generously which she picked up with her horn and patted Flash's head and shoulders with it. "As the Princess of Friendship and saving the entire kingdom of Equestria, I dub thee, Sir Flash Sentry!" announced Princess Twilight "May I have the medal, please?" Spike handed the medal over to Twilight which she also reached with her horn and placed it on Flash's armor. Everypony cheered! "Three cheers for my big brother!!!" screamed Julia happily. Her Father thought he had gone deaf but Julia's Mother cheered right along with her. When the cheering faded away Princess Twilight asked Flash if he had anything to say over his remarkable triumph of earning his knighthood. "This is all very um,.. astonishing." began Flash "I know that I have always wanted to be a knight but never realized I would get this much praise for it. But there's something that I need to admit before I go any further. I didn't want to become a knight at first. My first dream-job was becoming a guitarist but when my sister, Julia went missing, I thought it would be best if I joined the force instead. Ended up at the Crystal Empire where I bumped into Princess Twilight Sparkle, who is the most beautiful pony I've ever met. What definitely motivated me to save you all from a treacherous experience was that when I heard that Fassbender was going to try and make Twilight his queen, I knew I was the one for this job." Flash looked over to Twilight and said: "I love you, Princess Twilight Sparkle!" The cheers came out again from everypony once more.
Chapter 18After Flash earned his knighthood, the surprises didn't stop there. More kept coming as it got announced by Shining Armor that Flash was no longer going to be a guardspony at the Crystal Empire. He was now uprooted to being Princess Twilight's official bodyguard for saving her life. From then on, Flash began to live in Ponyville with Twilight. Several months later, during the summer, Twilight was granted a one-week vacation and Flash knew exactly where she should spend it. They went to West Curvia Island, Flash's birthplace. His parents still live there along with his sister Julia, who is currently trying to look for her special talent and earn her cutie mark. Twilight at first wanted to ask Flash if they could spend their summers at his family's house but when they arrived on West Curvia, everypony there was so excited to meet the Princess of Friendship that they all insisted that she purchase one of the Royal Summer Homes. That is now where Twilight and Flash spend their summers these days whenever it's alright for Princess Twilight to take a vacation. They also became a family since not too long ago, Twilight and Flash thought about how inseparable they had become so they got married. In no time at all, Twilight became pregnant and gave birth to twins; a pegasus known as Stuart, and a unicorn called Sherri. Whenever Twilight had to attend to important matters and Flash had to come along and protect her, they usually asked Pinkie Pie to babysit their babies whenever she wasn't minding the candy store and the Baby Cakes. But each family member still found time to be with each other during the morning and at night. They even found more time to be with each other whenever they took one of their summer trips over to West Curvia. "...And that's when they lived together happily ever after." finished Flash "Wasn't that a great story?" "Yes it was," said Stuart. "It was not only great but amazing!" "Mostly because of how it had a happy ending to it." said Sherri "No, it was because that all really happened." grumbled Stuart "You never give me anything do you." groaned Sherri "Now, now, kids be nice to each other or I'm not going to tell you anymore bedtime stories." said their Dad "Okay." said the twins Then they all heard a knock on the door. Who did it turn out to be, no pony other than Princess Twilight. "Flash, are you still telling our kids the story about the events that led to our marriage?" she asked "It's fine, Twilight, I just wrapped it up." said Flash "Go to sleep now, kiddies, we have another long day ahead of us." "Will you tell us another story like that?" asked Stuart "Sure," said Flash. "But next time, okay , get some sleep." The twins yawned, snuggled up in their blankets, and went to sleep. Twilight and Flash moved quietly out of their kids' bedroom, switched off the light and closed the door. They went to their bedroom to get some sleep as well as they listened to the waves crashing on the beach. The End
Chapter 3"I hear that this is a emergency meeting." said Princess Celestia "What seems to be the trouble?" "Please, Flash, tell it to her." said my Dad "I'll comfort your Mom. "Princess Celestia," I began. "Do you know a demon by the name of 'the Scoundrel'?" Princess Celestia made a startled look on her face. "Why, yes!" she said "How did you hear about this demon and that name he has." "Because," I said as I began to cry. "He took my sister, Julia away from us last night around the northern part of West Curvia Island." "He said he was going to take her back to his home on Demon Island and turn her into one of his slaves as some kind of warning to you." explained my Dad "But we don't know what." Princess Celestia made a devastated, sad face. "I would like to help you Sentry family" said Princess Celestia. "But in all my years as being a princess, I don't know much about this demon who likes to call himself as 'the Scoundrel.' However, I have read books about demons and this island of theirs called Demon Island. It's been said that Demon Island is up in the Northern part of Equestria but I don't think I can send any of my soldiers and warriors up there." "Why not?!" I asked in frustration. "It has been said that Demon Island is a hard place to find." explained Princess Celestia "Since when Demon Island was first formed and became inhabited by demons, fog got all around it and has stayed like that for so many years. That was also the same time when 'the Scoundrel' came into power and has been their leader ever since then." "So you're saying that if some of your soldiers and warriors go over to that island," I asked "through all that fog, they might never be heard of ever again?" "I'm afraid so." said Princess Celestia sadly. "But what I don't understand is the dark magic that 'the Scoundrel' keeps on possessing inside of him. Once in a while, he's able to break free out of that fog prison somehow and launch a attack on a land of Equestria. It's very strange and devastating." "Whatever he is," I said. "We're going to find out, someday! We thank you for your time, Princess Celestia." My parents and I left as my Mom continued sobbing and Princess Celestia looked on at us.
Chapter 15As everypony headed for all the exits that they could find, Rainbow Dash noticed something. "Hey, has anypony seen Twilight?" she asked Everypony looked back to find Twilight heading in the opposite direction. "Twilight!" cried Rarity "Where are you going?" "I'm going to go help our hero." Twilight explained "I have to do it, I'm a princess!" "Twilight, he'll be fine!" reassured Applejack But Twilight was stern. "No, this is a princess's duty so I can't let anypony remain in danger!" she said firmly. "Spike, try talking to her." said Fluttershy "But what can I do." moaned Spike "Twilight won't listen to reason at a moment like this." "And I don't think I can be of any help either." said Discord "Everypony, please, just escape with your lives, this is something that I really need to do if I am to live up to my expectations as a princess!" said Twilight pleadingly. With that, Twilight turned away and continued to go look for Flash Sentry. "Who knows," said Pinkie Pie after Twilight had gone. "She probably just wanted to make sure that her boyfriend was going to be all right." Meanwhile, Fassbender's entire demon army had found Flash. The result was quite surprising in the next moment. Even though, it was one against a army of a hundred demons, Flash defeated the entire army and won the battle. Flash didn't quite know how he did it but all at the same time, he began to feel himself glowing and getting more powerful. "Now to find Fassbender." he said bravely as he left Fassbender's henchmen all in a pile. "Now that battle felt like something way out of this world!" said Snickers "Oh, shut up!" said Luther and Roxy As Flash continued to go look for Fassbender, he began to hear the mighty footsteps of the ruthless demon. Soon Fassbneder came into sight, carrying a nasty surprise. Flash got shocked! Fassbender had captured Twilight and in her arms.
