Crimson Night

“Oh...now you've gone and ruined my fancy door.” a very familiar god of Chaos said. But it wasn't Discord, it looked like Discord had become a Zombie.

“Before you ask no I'm not Discord...I'm his evil side, Chaos is boring...but Death and Destruction, that brings a happy little giggle to my lips!” he exclaimed.

“Lucifer...how dare you...I thought I sealed you with your brother!” Celestia's voice rang.

“Ah Celestia dear, so I guess you must have Freed that Dull Light or whatever her name was. You can't defeat me you know, I'm far to powerful for you.” the Evil God of Death said.

“Oh we couldn't dream of fighting you Lucifer. You're too strong.” Luna said, appearing on the other side.

“But Twi here on thuh other hand...” Applejack started, coming up as well.

“She's pretty damn awesome.” Dash said.

“And she won't let you get away with this.” Fluttershy said, glaring at the evil god.

“And she's going to kick your butt!” Pinkie bounced.

“And Frankly Darling, you have no real chance.” Rarity said. Twilight looked around her and smiled. Lucifer boomed with laughter as he stood up. Twilight closed her helmet and snapped her wings out.

“One little pony alone can't hope to beat me.” Lucifer laughed.

“Even if I didn't believe that was bullshit, I have my friends here. I can't lose.” Twilight growled. The other ponies in the room closed their eyes as they gave Twilight all of their power. Lucifer's grin fell to a frown as Twilight glowed with every color of the rainbow, and then some. All the power of the sun, the moon, the elements of Harmony and every other living thing in Equestria and beyond empowered her. Her eyes glowed solid white as she charged at the Death God.

Lucifer chuckled as he saw what he thought was just a flashy show of power. Suddenly his chuckles stopped in his throat as they were caught by a steely wing pinning his neck to the wall, slicing nearly halfway through his neck. He choked and struggled, but couldn't move.

“Lucifer, God of Death. Your Fun ends now...forever.” Twilight growled as Moon floated inches from his panicked eyes.

“I'll tell your 'brother' I'm sorry if I ever see him out of that statue.” She continued. She pulled her wing out of his neck, just to smash his head into the wall with her hid hooves. He fell to the ground and began to bleed out, but Twilight couldn't let even such an evil being suffer. She put Moon through his head and twisted, his eyes glazed over and he was still.

Twilight sighed and blinked, but she was no longer in the cave. She wasn't in the Underworld either, not even in Equestria or the surrounding lands. She was in the stars. She could see the planet below her, and the moon and the sun not far off. She was calm though. She feared not for breath, nor the fact she was suddenly in space. She knew what was here unconsciously and turned around. A Blazing Mare Alicorn, literally Blazing, towered over her. A Stallion Alicorn who seemed to be part of the surrounding space.

“Twilight Sparkle. At last, we meet.” the Stallion said. “I am Moon.” he continued.

“I am Sun. do you know who we are?” the Mare asked. Twilight thought a moment, it was easy.

“You are Celestia's and Luna's Parents.” Twilight answered.

“Yes...and by what we have seen, your Mother and Father-in-law.” Sun said with a giggle. Twilight blushed.

“You have all the power in the world at your hooves. You could have done anything you want. You could turn evil. You don't. You fight for what you love. You protect. You protect what is not yours to protect, yet you still do.” the two said, switching on and off. with each other.

“I have power, that doesn't mean I have to use it...” Twilight said with a bit of confusion.

“That is exactly what you should think. I think it is time our Daughters gained another to share their burden.” Moon said.

“What?” Twilight asked.

“You are the third Princess of Equestria.” Sun said.

“No...I don't want that. I didn't even want to be the General of the Dawn Guards, but I did it because I have to. I refuse to be taken from ponyville and my friends...if they needed my help I'd gladly take it, but they don't need another princess...” Twilight said. The two Alicorns looked at each other and smiled. Twilight was surprised when they embraced her lightly.

“You are truly pure of heart Twilight Sparkle. Untainted by the corruptions of power...” they said in unison.

“But what will you do with this Vampirism? It's been spread far and wide now, giving everything the power.” Moon asked.

“We will purge it from those who have been given the gift. But, as it is a gift, I won't force the purge.” Twilight said.

“And what about your own Vampirism?” Sun asked.

“I've been thinking about that...something like this may happen again...I want to be ready to stop it before it does any harm. And I want to be at the Princess' sides for as long as possible. I will live my live like a normal Unicorn as best I can, but I will be prepared.” Twilight explained.

“Not even a speck of corruption...you are not Selfish...your heart is pure...you are the perfect Alicorn.” the two said in unison once more.

“Then I will leave it at Alicorn and no further...” Twilight mumbled, gaining laughter from the Omnipresent beings.

“Now that everything we needed to know is known, you may ask any amount of questions you wish.” Moon said.

“This might be an obvious one...but how are the two of you and I here?” Twilight asked.

“When a creature dies, their soul is either saved or condemned. When condemned, they cross the black lake and never return. If they are saved, they are given a permanent spot in the heavens as a star, or a shooting star, or a nebula or anything really. We brought your mind here, your body is unconscious and safe, to speak to you. I am, Literally, the Moon.” Moon explained.

“And I the sun.” Sun said.

“Then how does your Daughters move and control you like they do?” Twilight asked.

“They simply guide us...to reach out to the parent and tell them it's time to move across the sky...we have no semblance of time out here.” Sun explain.

“I think I understand now...there's...there's just one last thing I want to ask you about...and, it kind of involves my Relationship with Luna.” Twilight said, her cheeks tinting slightly.

“Anything.” the two replied.

“I want her hoof in Marriage...your blessing would mean everything to me.” Twilight said. The Two Alicorns beamed with happy surprise as they embraced her for the second time.

“Our blessing wouldn't do you justice Twilight Sparkle, but you have it tenfold.” Moon said.

“Be sure to let us know when the date is decided, we may be the moon and the sun but we still want to see it.” Sun said.

“Of course...thank you...for everything.” Twilight said.

“But all we did was name you something you already are and fortify something that's concrete solid.” Moon said.

“...I guess so...wait...one last question...Luna was banished to...you?” Twilight asked. Moon sighed.

“That was a sad time for all four of us...we kept Luna here for her own good until we felt something that could help her come along...then we sent her back. It can't be just a coincidence it was you.” Moon said, finishing with a smile.

“Well our new Daughter-in-law...we must return you to your body...farewell.” Sun said. Twilight waved and she faded away. But not before she heard one final sound.

“Farewell Twilight Sparkle...you are truly a God.”

Twilight opened her eyes slowly. It was bright. Very bright. She wasn't in the Underworld anymore. She bolted upright and looked around, but a smiling Luna was all that was with her in what seemed like a heavenly field.

“You are awake...” Luna stated.

“Or we're both dreaming.” Twilight said jokingly.

“Where did you go? Your mind was gone.” Luna asked.

“I...talked to your Parents.” Twilight said.

“Really? What did you talk about?” Luna asked.

“Hang on, where's everypony else?” Twilight asked. “I don't even know where we are.” she continued.

“We're just outside of ponyville. They're all resting in the Grand Library, or canterlot...or wherever they are. You began to stir so I placed you down.” Luna explained.

“How long have I been out?” Twilight asked.

“A few hours...so what did you talk about?” Luna answered.

“Oh...well, they tested me with words...they said I was 'the perfect Alicorn' and made me one, they even called me a God...but I refused to become a princess.” Twilight started and explained everything. Well...almost everything.

“Luna...there's something I have to ask you.” Twilight said, standing up and looking deep into Luna's eyes.

“Anything Love.” Luna replied.

“Will you marry me?” Twilight asked with a giggle. Luna froze, but her eyes gave her feelings away. Luna literally tackled the slightly taller mare in a kiss.

“I'll take that as a yes.” Twilight giggled.
