Chapter 1: Strange Dream (edited)

It was night time in Canterlot, the stars were gazing beautifully in the sky. Sunset Shimmer is looking through her telescope and gazing upon the stars. Her studying was interrupted by her caring mentor, Princess Celestia, who came to check on her student. “Hello, Sunset Shimmer,” the princess greeted her student.

“Princess,” Sunset replied cheerfully.

“How is my faithful student doing?”

“Oh, just studying the stars, your majesty. There are always so many amazing things to discover in space.”

Princess Celestia giggles and spoke, “Oh yes there is, my student. About how space is created and every planet are still undiscovered. One day, we can travel through space and study so many planets.”

“I sure hope so.” Then, she yawned.

“Perhaps, you should take some rest. We have an exciting teaching tomorrow. Good night, Sunset Shimmer.” Then, she leaves Sunset alone.

“Good night, Celestia.” She packs up her telescope and began heading off to sleep. Then suddenly, a meteor shower occurs across the sky. She manages to turn around and spotted the spectacular meteor. “Wow, that’s amazing.”

BANG!!!

She turns around and seeks the noise. She didn't know what occurs that sound. When she turned, a dark and the white stripe alicorn: with red colored eyes, black and light gray color tail, black spike mane, and two red glowing spots on his shoulders appear before her.

Sunset Shimmer has awoken, all horrifying from the strange dream. She was breathing hard and was confused about the nightmare. What was the meteor shower and the strange noise was about? Who was that dark alicorn? She doesn't understand the main idea of her dream. However, she does know one pony who can help her, Twilight Sparkle. She decided to return to Ponyville and seek the princess of friendship aid. Finally, she went back to sleep, hoping her nightmare won’t happen again.

It's morning in Ponyville, Twilight was in her treehouse, reading through her books as usual. Spike enters the room and greeted his sister, “Ha, Twilight! What’s ya reading?”

“Oh, just another study about Starswirl the Bearded,” she responded.

Spike leans forward and examines the book. “Didn't ya read this book already?”

“Yeah, but I like reading everything about his studies. He had learned so many discoveries about spells and space. I wish I could learn something more interesting about what goes on in or from space.”

Suddenly, some pony knocked at the door. “I’ll get it.” When he opened the door, Twilight could hear him talking to someone. “Oh, haven’t seen you for a while.” He pauses for a while before calling his sister, ”Twilight! It’s for you!”

She got up and trotted toward the door and meets her old friend, Sunset Shimmer. “Sunset, what brings you around here?!”

Sunset Shimmer was nervous and respond, “I need your help.”

“What do you need, Sunset?”

“I had a strange dream last night. It was about me examining the stars during night time at the castle. Right before I was going to sleep, I saw a meteor shower in the sky and suddenly I heard an explosion.”

Twilight was surprised when she mentioned a meteor shower occurred at Canterlot. “I think I know what you’re talking about.”

“You do?!”

“Yeah.” She picks up one of Starswirl the Bearded books from the shelf and began searching through the pages. Finally, she had found the page about the crashing meteor. She read the text, “During my recent studies, I believe this crash meteor may have come from another planet, or perhaps another dimension. I tried every tool and spells to open the meteor, but at last, I could never break through the surface. I've decided to abandon on my studies of the mysterious structure, located in the Everfree Forest. I believe whatever causing the meteor not to break open, it is protecting something very valuable inside or someone.”

“I think there’s something inside of the meteor.” Sunset Shimmer interrupted.

“You do?! Wait, how do you know if there’s something in there?”

Twilight can see the fear in her friend's eyes. “I wasn't finished telling you about my nightmare. In the end, I was about to leave the castle, until a strange alicorn appear before I wake up.”

“Was it Princess Celestia?”

“No.”

“Princess Luna?” Sunset shook her head. “Princess Cadance?” She shook again. “Me?” She shook again. Twilight was confused. She resumed, “Then, who is it?”

“I don’t know who he was?”

“He?”

“Yeah. It was a stallion alicorn. He has black and white stripes, dark gray mane, black and gray tail, and red colored eyes.”

“You think he got something to do with the meteor?”

“I believe so. What else did I have this colt in my dream last night?”

The princess was thinking for a while. Finally, she answered, “I believe you’re right.”

“What’re we going to do?”

“It’s simple. We’re going to the Everfree Forest and examine the meteor, before whatever inside of it burst free.”

“When are we leaving?”

“As soon as possible, but we’re going need backup just in case if it gets more dangerous along the way.” She turns to the little dragon. “Spike, I want you to send letters to Applejack, Pinkie Pie, Fluttershy, Rarity, and Rainbow Dash about what’s going on.”

He salute and respond, “You got it, Twilight!”

She turned to the unicorn. “Just let me pack some tools and we can head out.”

“Alright, Twilight.”

After Twilight and Sunset arrive at the Everfree Forest, they were both waiting for the others to arrive. The alicorn notice that her friend is a bet terrorize. She asks her, “Sunset, are you alright?”

“Twilight… I’m afraid,” she told her all scared. ”What happens when we arrive at the meteor that whatever inside it finally bust out and attack us?! I don’t want anything to happen to you or your friends.”

“I don’t know. I can tell you this. If we stand together against whatever lies inside of that meteor, then we can overcome anything. Are you with me?”

She pauses for a while and respond with a smile, “I am.”

Suddenly, Pinkie Pie slides in, wrap both hoofs around them and said cheerfully, “Me too!” Her face turns excited to confuse. “Wait, what are we talking about?”

Twilight smile when her random friend appears and cheered, “Pinkie Pie!!”

“Howdy, Twi,” Applejack greeted as she and the others arrive. “Howdy, Sunset!”

“Applejack! Fluttershy! Rarity! Rainbow Dash! It’s great to see you girls.”

“Yo, Twilight! What’s going on and why is Sunset Shimmer doing here,” Rainbow Dash asked.

“No time to explain, Rainbow Dash. We have to go to the Everfree Forest and seek a crash meteor.”

“What crash meteor, darling,” Rarity confused.

“Sunset dreams up a strange being she had encountered. We believe this creature got something to do with the crash meteor. If we don’t find it now, then it could be the end of Equestria.”

“Oh, that sounds horrible,” Fluttershy scared.

Rainbow Dash leans toward her and brags, “Don’t worry, Fluttershy! There’s nothing that can beat, the one and only, Rainbow Dash and her best friends! If it’s a dragon, giant dinosaur, robots, or sicko super-villain, then they’ll going down!”

“That’s the spirit, Dashie,” Pinkie Pie agrees with joy.

“A bit too much confidence,” Sunset chuckles at the brave pegasus.

“Ha, I can handle anything,” the rainbow pony brags again.

“Alright,” Twilight told them. “Now who's ready to find the meteor and stop whoever lies beyond the Everfree Forest?”

“I’m in,” Rainbow Dash shouted.

“YAYA,” Pinkie Pie shouted.

“Same here, panther,” Applejack nodded.

“Here here,” Rarity agrees.

“Yay,” Fluttershy whispered with joy.

“I’m always with you, Twilight,” Spike nodded.

“I’m with you too,” Sunset Shimmer response by her best friend side.

“Now, let's go girls,” Twilight told them as they all rushes to the forest, seeking the mysterious meteor.

Chapter 3: Visitor

At the Canterlot castle, a red earth pony guard was patrolling through the walkway, with a spear in his hoof. Until, a green unicorn pops in from behind, which startle the guard. He regains focus and spoke, “Loony, what are you doing here? You know they don’t allow me to bring visitors to the castle during duties.”

“I know,” whined Loony. “I was bored at home, I got no one to hang out with. Plus, I destroy your guitar.”

“YOU DESTROY MY GUITAR!!”

“Nooooooooo,” the unicorn lied. “So… how was your day?”

“Get out of here before you get me fired, or worse arrested… again.”

“Wow. Once you steal a cupcake and fame your best friend, you’re scarred for life.”

Then, the guard pushes her best friend while speaking, “Now leave!! Before someone pops in out of nowhere and catch me breaking the rule.”

“Oh come on Sword Light. You really believe someone will jump in out of no-”

Then, he was cut off from a teleportation occurring between their argument, causing them to scram. It was Twilight and the others teleported to the castle. Both of the colts were surprised by Twilight appearance. The guard was speechless and cried, “Pri… Pri… Pri… PRINCESS TWILIGHT SPARKLE!!!” Sword Light kneel before her. However, his best friend didn't bow to her, making Sword Light to drag him down to a kneeling position.

“I’m sorry,” Twilight respond. “I've to be with the other princesses. Do you know where they are?”

“Oh, they’re in the throne room. I cou-” He was then ran over by Twilight and others, as they hurry toward the princesses. Then, he got back up with a dazed look on his face.

His friend lean toward his ran over friend and said, “So… how was your day?”

Afterward, Twilight and the others manage to reach the throne room. As they've entered, they only found Princess Cadance by herself, but where are Princess Celestia and Princess Luna? Princess Cadance was surprised to see her step sister. “Twilight,” she spoke with a confuse look. “What are you doing here?”

Twilight was confused, because she doesn't believe Cadance doesn't know what happen to her husband. Twilight spoke, “Cadance, what do you mean what I’m doing here? I’m here because Shining Armor is missing.”

She was shook. “What!! What do you mean he’s missing?”

Sunset cut in, “What are you talking about, your highness? You sent Twilight a letter about him being missing.”

“I didn't send Twilight anything.”

Twilight is still puzzling. “Then, who send the letters?”

Applejack spoke up, “Maybe Princess Celestia.”

Rarity look around and said, “But where is she?”

Pinkie Pie dashes through the room and shouted, “Maybe she’s playing hide and go seek! I’m gonna find her first!” She skips around the castle, hoping to find Celestia.

They ignore her childish game. Cadance said, “She went to a meeting with Princess Luna. I don’t know when she’s coming back of where the meeting is held at.”

“Did she mention what the meeting is about,” Fluttershy ask.

“I’m afraid not. She told me that I’m in charge of the castle while she’s at the meeting, but I haven’t seen any guards around here.”

Twilight spoke up, “When we got here, we only spotted one guard.”

Rainbow Dash cut in, “Which I think he’s not doing a good job.”

Sunset ignore her opinion and think up a question. Why did Princess Celestia send the letter to Twilight with Princess Cadance name? She spoke with a serious tone, “Guys, I think Princess Celestia didn't sent that letter.”

Applejack said, “Then who send the-” Suddenly, a scream occurs in the castle. “That must be Pinkie Pie. Come on!!” All of them rushes to Pinkie Pie aid.

They stop in the hallway, where the scream occurs, but no sign of Pinkie Pie. Then, the guard and his friend enter the hallway and shouted, “Your highnesses, are you’ll alright, I heard screaming?!”

The unicorn cuts in, “Uhmm. Don’t you mean weeee heard screaming?”

Sword Light look back at the others and he gab, “HE”S NOT WITH ME!!”

Twilight said, “We’re fine.”

Pinkie Pie was at the other end of the hallway and shouted, “GUYS!! YOU'LL NEED TO COME OVER QUICKLY!!” Then, she dashes to the left hall.

When they finally made it to Pinkie Pie position, Shining Armor appear on the ground unconscious, with scratches and wounds around his body. They were all horrified of his dreaded appearance. “SHINING ARMOR,” Princess Cadance cried while she’s rushing toward her husband aid. She was trying to wake him, but no response. “He isn't breathing!!”

Sword Light rushes toward his commander and said, “Don’t worry I got him.” He was pushing hard on his chest a couple of times till he gain consciousness. He was gaining no response from him. “Nothing is working!”

“Give him mouth-to-mouth, buddy,” his friend shouted. Then, he whispers to the others, “Does anyone got a camera?”

The guard whined, until Twilight steps in, “I got him; he’s my brother.” The guard tilt the victim's head back for Twilight. Twilight then push her mouth against her brother and breathe in couple of times. Finally, he gains consciousness.

They’ll were complete relief after Shining Armor is alive. Princess Cadance hug him and started to cry over his shoulder. “Shining,” cried Cadance, “I’m so happy you’re alright!!” He hugs his wife back.

Rainbow Dash tells the guard, “Help me carry him toward the throne room.” Sword Light nodded and assist his injure commander to safety.

As they were heading toward the throne room, Twilight was thinking about the whole situation. Who fought Shining Armor and hide him? What happen to all of the guards? Where could Princess Celestia and Princess Luna be?

They finally made it to the throne room, then they gentle place Shining Armor on the throne. Princess Cadance loving told her husband, “It’s alright, Shining. You’re gonna be alright.”

Spike spoke, “Shining Armor, what happen to you?”

“I give up,” Loony said.

They’ll turn to him in confusion. Sword Light angrily said to him, “He was talking to him. And you don’t even try.”

Shining Armor began to speak heavily, “I was doing my patrol… across the castle with some guards. Until… an alicorn appear and attack the guards. I kept blasting him… but he kept dodging them… Then, he ran toward and demolish me… I try to jab him with my horn… but he was too fast… I’ve never seen any ponies like this monster before.”

Sunset Shimmer gasps after he mention the mysterious alicorn. She finally spoke, “Guys, I know who attack him.”

Twilight speak, “Who-” Then, a neon inferno appears in the throne room, blinding everyone in the room. Twilight peak through the rampaging flames and she spotted a figure in it. “WHO”S THAT?!!”

The mysterious figure steps out of the inferno and then cast a spell to end it as well. The others are finally seeing the intruder, it’s an alicorn. It was a black and white stripes colt alicorn, with dark gray mane, black and gray tail, and red colored eyes. The rest of them are frightened by the sinister alicorn. Sunset Shimmer is paralyzed, because she finally met the monster from her dream. The devious alicorn finally spoken, “Hello… Princess Twilight Sparkle.”

Twilight gasps. She demanded, “How do you know my name?!”

The colt alicorn laugh. He explains, “I’ve been watching you, Princess Twilight. You really believe I just got out of that meteor. I have been out of it for a year, ever since you first arrive to Ponyville.” Twilight and her friends gasps of what he said. “I witness you discover your friendship against Nightmare Moon. I saw how you and your friends defeated Discord and then reform him into good. I manage to get in Canterlot on your brother’s big wedding day, until I was attacked by these foolish changelings. I travel with you to the Crystal Kingdom and witness you’ll fought against King Sombra. I even witness you and your friends give up yours elements of harmony, so you can save Equestria and the princesses. That is why I come out of hiding, because you’ll are powerless without yours elements. And the only way to draw you here is your brother, Shining Armor. However, I was expecting the other two princesses to be here, but no matter. I will deal with them later. I’m pretty sure they will come back after I kill the two princesses stand before me.”

Sunset Shimmer cut in, “What about that nightmare I had you in?”

The evil alicorn teleported in front of her, which frighten the others. He spoke in a loving tone, “Ah. The beautiful Sunset Shimmer. I know not of how I appear of your dream instead of Twilight Sparkle. I wish I would of know about this.” She lifted her chin up and resume, “I know everything about your past. Being banned by your teacher, being alone, and found friendship. Why couldn't you become evil like me? We could of rule the universe... together.”

She pushes his hoof away and yelled, “I would never join a monster like you! Especially, the one who hurt my friend!”

After she was done, he teleported back down the throne. He speaks in a disappointed tone, “Wrong decision, little girl. But I know none of you can stand against me. That is why I take out the guards and torture Shining Armor as well.”

Cadance stares back at her sore husband and kiss his forehead. She stands up and walk in front of the others. She demanded, “WHO ARE YOU?!!”

He giggles and answer, “You may call me… Monster X. And I’m here to destroy this useless world, off the face of the galaxies.” Then, the castle shaken by the power of Monster X.

Sword Light ran and stand before him. He spoke bravely, “You want to hurt them, then you have go through me.”

Monster X smiled, “Gladly.”

Then, his horn glow neon light and blasted the guard, causing him to go fly off and crash through the wall. He draws his attention toward Loony, causing the unicorn to scream like a girl and flee cowardly. After he ran away, Rainbow Dash sign and whispered, “Wimp.”

Twilight and her friends stand tall against the evil alicorn, except Fluttershy and Spike as they hide behind Shining Armor. After they’re ready for battle, Monster X grinned and spoke, “Prepare… for extinction... my little ponies.”

Chapter 4: The Face of Darkness

At the Castle of the Two Sisters, Princess Celestia and Princess Luna searches through the books about an upcoming event from Luna nightmare. While they were searching, Luna tells her sister about the nightmare. “... then I saw Twilight Sparkle and her companions’ decease bodies surrounded by flames. Next, I spotted Cadance and her husband dying in each others arms. Finally, I saw you die before me.” She began to cry about rethinking about the horrifying event.

Celestia stop searching and comfort her sister. She hushes and whispered, “It’s fine Luna. All we have to do is to find a book about the mysterious alicorn in your nightmare and stop it from reeking habit in Equestria.” They resume seeking for a related book. Luna fraud to herself, because she didn't tell her sister about Nightmare Moon. She’s afraid that her sister might imprison or banish her again.

She took a deep breath and spoke up, “Sister.” Celestia draw her attention to her sister. “There’s something I need to tell-”

Suddenly, she senses something is happening from the castle. Her sister interrupts, “What’s wrong sister?”

Luna turns and with a serious tone, “He’s at the castle… and Twilight is there.”

Meanwhile, Twilight and the others prepare for battle against Monster X. He spoke in content tone, “Lets test each of you'll strengths in mortal combat against me. Let’s see who will survive.” Twilight and her friends stood tall, but Sunset Shimmer shows fear in eyes, believe that he’s powerful.

Twilight whispered to the others, “OK, we’re going to plan a surprise attack. Pinkie Pie, you’re going to distract him while Applejack and Rarity-”

Rainbow Dash cut in and shouted, “HE’S MINE!!”

She dashes toward Monster X, then Twilight yelled, “NO, Rainbow stop!” She ignore her and going in for the kill.

He grinned at her bravery. As she was charging toward the alicorn, until she stop at the doors. She looks around, but Monster X just disappears out of thin air. Not even Twilight nor the others know where he went. She roared in anger, “WHERE ARE YOU?!!!”

“Right behind you,” he whispered behind her. She scream and quickly swing for a kick, until he disappeared again. “I’m over here.” He reappear right beside her. She swings for a punch, but he disappears again. He reappears in front of her, “Now, I’m in your face.” She was startled and drove in for a kick, but he teleported away.

She was in total rage and yelled, “FACE ME YOU COWARD!!!”

He reappear behind her and grinned, “Gladly.” Then, he fire beams out of his eyes and two red spots on his chest. When he stroked her with his beams, he levitated her in the air, which making her unconscious.

Twilight was horrified from this event. She steps forward and yelled, “LET HER GO!!!”

He smirk and said, “Be careful what you wish for, princess.” Then, he throws Rainbow Dash through the stained glass.

Twilight was paralyzed and screamed, “RAINBOW!!” Princess Cadance rushes to rescue Rainbow Dash. She draws her attention back toward Monster X and roared, “I’m going to end you!!” She dashes toward Monster X, but he teleported before her and blasted her. She fell to the ground and whimper.

“What a shame, I expected more from you,” he insulted her.

Her friends scream, “TWILIGHT!!” Applejack, Rarity, and Pinkie Pie charge at the devilish alicorn. Monster X has also charged toward Twilight friends in full speed. Applejack got in front of him and drove in for a kick. Monster X knew she was going to do that and teleported beside her, but Rarity blasted him before giving him a chance to strike. “How you like that partner,” Applejack laugh.

“That’s for our friends, you monster,” Rarity shouted.

After he got back up, he was blasted by Pinkie Pie party cannon. “A BOO YA,” Pinkie Pie bawled.

“Where ya got that cannon sugarcube?”

“I’ll never tell.”

Monster X slowly got and spoke up, “Insolent... pests, you will PAAAAAY!!” He turns around and charges at the ponies in fury. He teleported in front of Applejack and knock her out. Rarity gasps and fire at him, but he teleported behind her and electrified her. Pinkie Pie tries to reload her party cannon fast, but he destroys it and crush her.

Suddenly, his ribs were struck by Sunset Shimmer horn. After she removes her horn away from the injure alicorn, he still stands tall because his ribs are healing. He plodded toward the frightens unicorn and roared, “I give you a chance to join me, but you chose to be with theses weaklings!”

“You don’t have to-” then Monster X punch Sunset across the room. He places her into a closet and trap her in there.

When he turn around, he was punched in the face by Fluttershy. Her face was furious, but now scarce. She said, “Oh my!”

Monster X stare at the frightened pegasus and in a disappointed tone, “You shouldn’t have done that, my dear.” He slaps her in the face, which causing her to crash into the wall.

“You monster,” Shining Armor yelled. “How could do that to her! She didn’t mean to do that!”

Monster X guffaw and shouted, “I’m just teaching them what happen if they stand against me. Just like I teach you, boy.”

“Now it’s going to be me teaching you a lesson on what happen if you hurt my baby sister!!” He charges toward the alicorn while blasting him, but Monster X kept blocking his attacks. After he was done, Shining Armor pull out his sword and cut off the alicorn horn. “Now you’re powerless without your horn. Surrender or die!!”

Unfortunately, the wicked alicorn grow his horn back, which shocked the commander. “You really believe that would be easy.” Then, he fires his Gravity beams toward the injure unicorn, causing him to slide across the floor.

Spike, hiding behind the throne, witness the horrible torture that his friend’s face. When Monster X is walking toward the unconscious commander, Spike rushes toward his side and block the evil alicorn path. “Out of the way, baby dragon,” Monster X warned Spike.

The little dragon yelled, “NO!! I won’t let you hurt anymore of my friends. If you want to hurt Shining Armor, you have to go through me, pal.”

The alicorn was in total rage of the dragon courage, but he calms down for a while. He spoke, “You remind me of a great warrior I fought in another dimension. After I’ve destroyed this world, I gonna make sure my vengeance will be a success. Before my vengeance, I’m going to take my anger on you.”

He levitated Spike in the air, ready to finish him. Then suddenly, he was blasted in the back, causing him to drop his victim. Spike and Monster X draw their attention toward the opponent, it was Twilight. She was breathing hard and yelled, “GET… AWAY… FROM… HIM!!!” She look back at her servant, “Spike, get somewhere safe.” Spike ran away from the throne room, until Monster X shot him in the back. Twilight is stunned by the incident. She quickly dashes toward Spike. She kept nodding the knockout dragon and cried, “Spike… Spike, please get up. SPIKE!!” Sadly, he didn’t respond. She didn’t believe he’s gone, so she kept nodding him. Until, she gives up. Tears were forming in her eyes. “Spike?” She believes Spike is dead. She laid her head upon the decease body and began to weep.

Monster X spoke over the crying mare, “You realize this is your fault that he’s dead. You bring him along on your adventure to stop me. He could’ve been safe and at peace, but you had to tag him with you on everywhere you go. You should’ve let him go when you kept that owl. You should’ve left Ponyville while Discord and your friends kept pushing you too much. This is your fault that your friends are badly damaged.”

Twilight places a kiss on Spike forehead and stand up. She bittered, “You had hurt my friends and my brother… this time I’m gonna make you pay. I’M GOING TO KILL YOU!!!” She charges toward Monster X with full speed in rage. Monster X also charges toward her. When they were getting close to each others, Twilight teleported behind the dark alicorn and blasted him.

He roared in rage and shouted, “You will be the first princess to burn. Your blood will be mine!!”

He rushes toward the princess, but she teleported from behind and kick his head. He roared and swing for another attack, but she blasted him in the eye, blinding him. He kept blasting randomly around the room and roared, “WHERE ARE YOU?!!” Twilight took cover and prowl toward the blinded alicorn. When she was ready to strike, he turns toward her position and whispered, “Surprise.” He blasted his Gravity Beam and tossed her toward the wall. He fires a neon blast up the ceiling and trapped Twilight.

Twilight tried to escape, but she’s in tit situation. She yelled, “You coward!!”

He slap her across the face and spoke, “Harsh words, princess. Because of that, it will be your undoing.” The devious alicorn was ready to end Twilight, until he was blasted from behind.

The wrathful alicorn turn around and spotted Princess Cadance by the stained glass, holding Rainbow Dash in her arm. “Leave her alone,” shouted the furious princess.

Monster X looks back at Twilight and draw his attention to the princess and apathetic, “Fine. I’ll take you out first.”

Cadance place the unconscious pegasus on the floor gently and dashes toward Monster X. Then, the evil alicorn flow toward the princess and fought her. Both kept shoving each other and scratching with their horns. Until, the princess throws the monster and started firing. However, Monster X kept outmaneuvered her blasts and then knock her to the floor. He roared, “YOUR SOUL IS MIIIIIIIINE!!!” Then, he kept thumping her until she’s unconscious.

Twilight watch helplessly of her step sister terrifying torture. She uses her full force to remove the structure around and screamed, “ENOUGH!!!” Monster X stopped and turns toward the choleric princess. He can see the fire in her eyes, the hatred toward the devious alicorn who tortured her friends. She speedily toward Monster X and tackles him through the stained glass, causing them to descending from the castle.

While they were falling, Twilight kept fighting the villainous alicorn, without showing fear. Every time she draw, Monster X faces wounds, scratches, cuts, and contusion given by the enrage princess. When they were fifty feet away before colliding toward the ground, Twilight grab hold of him, so he won’t escape. Until, he reverses her action and done it to her. She tried to escape, but they made contact with the ground.

After the impact, ponies surrounded the crash site wondering what had happened. Suddenly, Twilight body was toss out of the hole, causing a gasp among the crowd. Then, Monster X step out and speech, “Here is your princess, helpless ponies. Can you’ll see your ruler had been defeated from the likes of me? She represents your species… I represent extinction. You are all slaves to these powerless rulers. They can’t even defeat one invader at the same time. In fact, none of you can defeat me. I will bring an end to your world… and none of you can stop me!! Not even your great and powerful princesses can stop me.”

The crowd of ponies stood silently after the felon alicorn speech. None of them spoke, until someone shouted, “You’re wrong, ugly.”

Monster X was surprised and draw his attention to the courage pony. Some of the crowd draws their attention to the pony and reveal him. It was a little filly colt. The villain laugh and said while titter, “What do you believe in, young boy?”

“I believe that the princesses will stop you. Then, they will imprison you for hurting the princess,” yelled the brave filly.

Monster X found this funny. Seeing a filly standing up to him, being heroic and brave. Finally, he spoke to the audience, “Look upon this brave filly, mares and gentlecolts. Let he be an example of your demise.” His horn lightens neon to slay the boy, until he was blasted.

He turns around and it was Twilight who blast him. She yelled to the crowd, “Get out here, NOW!!” Everyone except the two alicorns leave the area. Twilight has still weakened from the fall, but stood tall. “You think I’m gonna let you roam free when I’m down; think again.”

The fiendish alicorn laughed at the princess threat and spoke, “You think you can stop in that condition. How foolish can you be, Twilight Sparkle? This time I’m going to end you once and for all!”

He zooms toward the injure princess and fire his Gravity Beams, but she quickly block his attack. Suddenly, he busts through it and punch Twilight. She quickly teleported before she hit the ground. She reappeared in the air, firing upon the crimson alicorn, but Monster X kept dodging the blasts. Then, he fires his Gravity Beams again, firing down the princess. He walks toward the knockout pony, until she was faking and fire everything she got at the monster. After she was done, Monster X still stands strong. Twilight is speechless from the alicorn condition. She kept blasting at X, but he suffers no effect. While she was fired, Monster X use both his Gravity Beam and neon blast to form a death bomb. He releases the bomb toward the princess, but she uses a shell ball around her. When made contact, she tries to hold still and withstand the blast. Until, her shield began to crack and wreck the injure princess.

After the blast, Twilight was completely damaged. She could barely move a muscle. Monster X stands before her and levitate her up. Tears are running down her face as she was suffering from her wounds. The iniquitous alicorn laughed at her pain and shout with joy, “You’re weak! Just like your friends! You never stand against me in the first place!” His horn glow neon. “Now, Twilight Sparkle!! Prepare to meet your faith!! Prepare to meet your demise!! Prepare to meet your creator!! PREPARE TO DIE!!!” Until, two blasts hit his horn, causing an explosion.

Meanwhile, inside the throne room, where the others easily recover from Monster X attack. Princess Cadance lifted up her husband slowly. Applejack aided Fluttershy as she was getting up. Rarity and Pinkie Pie slowly pick up Spike. Rainbow Dash lento Sword Light to the ground, because all of his bones are broken from the wicked alicorn blast. Loony was trying to open the closet to free Sunset Shimmer. He yelled to the others, “Help me guys! She only got ten seconds of air left!!”

Sunset talk in the closet, “Excuse me, I have plenty of air. Just open the door.” Cadance open the door, with Loony attach to the door and flying off. She walks out of the closet, “Thank you princess.”

The crazy unicorn rushes to Sunset and speak, “Just calm down and take a whole lot of air in, alright!!”

She ignore the deranged pony and tell the others, “I’m glad everyone is alright… and alive.” Suddenly, she looks around and alerted, “Where’s Twilight?!”

Spike spoke in a painful tone, “I think she’s fighting Monster X by herself. We have to go save her.”

Rainbow Dash spoke up, “I’m gonna fly over there and help her out.” When she was about to fly, she shrieks in pain because her wings are sore. “It’s just a bruise. I can walk it of-” When she tries again, she scream in pain again.

Rarity tell her, “You need to rest, darling. Your wings need to heal.”

The pegasus shouted, “I don’t need to he-” She bellows of the pain and resume, “Alright… alright.”

Applejack spoke, “Hold it ya, what are we going to for this fella?” She pointed to Sword Light. “I think all of his bones are broken.”

None of them know what to do. Until, Loony shouted, “Don’t worry, the Loony is here! I know a healing that will heal all of his body parts. Now stand back.”

He use his spell to heal his best friend, until he actually turns him into a tortoise. All of them were freaked after the spell. Loony giggle and said, “Oh yeah, I only do one spell: turning things into a tortoise. That is why my parents named me Loony Turtle… which is weird because I only turn things into a tortoise."

The tortoise demanded, “Loony, turn me back right now!!”

The unicorn giggle again, “Turn you back… alright buddy.” He lean turn the others and whispered, “Do any of you’ll how to turn ponies back to normal?” They shake their head. Then, Loony scream and ran away.

The tortoise spoke again, “Yeah, he’s not coming back.”

Shining Armor ignores the awkward event and spoke, “Let’s go everyone. We have to go save my baby sister.”

Cadance spoke, “He’s right. Let’s head out and stop Monster X from destroying our world.”

Everyone agreed and started running to save Twilight. Everyone except the tortoise because he was crawling. He shouted while they were running, “HA… WAIT FOR ME!! OH COME ON GUYS!!” Sadly, they didn’t went back for him. He sighed and talks to himself, “Where’s Discord when you need him?”

Twilight slowly opens her eyes and barely see a thing. Right before she closes her eyes, she saw two armored ponies stand before her. When she got her version back, she saw Princess Celestia and Princess Luna aided to her rescue. Celestia spoke in a loving tone, “Twilight, are you alright?”

She bellowed and said, “Yes, princess.” She looks around and alerted, “Where’s Monster X?”

Luna answered, “You mean the evil alicorn. I believe he’s destroyed. I’m glad we made it on time to save you, Twilight Sparkle.”

After she was finished, Twilight stares down and weep. Celestia steps up and spoke, “Twilight, what happen before we return?”

Twilight wrap away the tears and spoken, “That monster… he enter the kingdom and attack us. He tortures my brother, he beaten up Rainbow Dash, he harms my friends, he abuses Cadance, and… he… killed… Spike…” Then, she weeps with tears again. The two princesses are horrified from the actions that the villainous alicorn had done. They went and comfort the broken princess, after the terrible incident with Monster X.

Suddenly, a devilish laugh occurs behind them, which shock the princesses. Then, they spotted the return of Monster X. The princesses stood tall against the dark alicorn. He grinned and spoke, “Well, well, well. Isn’t it the powerful princess of all… Princess Celestia.” He look upon Luna. “Well, isn’t it the ruler of the night… Nightmare Moon.” Princess Luna stares away from the evil alicorn.

Princess Celestia demanded the alicorn, “Monster X. You’ve committed crimes in Equestria: you had harmed innocent citizens, attack the royal guards, and torture two of my daughters. However, I’m a justice princess, who seek no vengeances, I will give you a warning Monster X. Leave this world and never come back… or perish.”

Then, he guffaws after Celestia threat and spoke, “You think you’re that powerful to defeat me. Perhaps, you never heard of me. I’m a destroyer to all dimensions. I am fire to the weaks. I am death to those who oppose me. If I can defeat the elements of harmony and your daughter, then I can easily dispatch you.”

Celestia looks back at her sister and student, both afraid. She tells her sister, “Luna, take good care of Twilight. I will finish this monster.”

Luna rushes toward her sister and cried, “Sister please. Let us fight this together.”

She shoves her little sister aside, “Please, Luna. I couldn’t bare anything happens to you. Go and aid Twilight, I’ll be fine." Finally, Luna nodded and dashes toward the injure princess.

She looks back at the wicked alicorn. He spoke in a seductive tone, “Well, lovely Celestia. Are you ready to die before me?”

She answered in an indignant tone, “No. I will avenge those you had abuse and get rid of you.”

The dark alicorn eyes are glowing red, “We shall test each other in combat, to show who deserve to live.” He made the first move by firing his Gravity Beams toward Celestia, but she reflected his attack, which strikes the attacker.

She flown in the air, “One shall stand, one shall fall.”

The enrage alicorn got back up and yelled, “Now, I crush you with my bare hoofs!!”

He tosh himself toward the princess, but she dodges his move and blasted him in the back. He still stand from the blast. He teleported behind of Celestia and bitten her shoulder. She screams in pain and fire him off. She gaze at her shoulder, blood is running down her leg. Monster X lick the blood on his lips and spoke, “Delicious.” She was enraged and charge toward the dark alicorn with full force. The nefarious alicorn charge as well. When they were about to collide, they both slash each other. After the collision, the princess side was bleeding. The evil alicorn was scratched on his cheek. Celestia conjures up a sword and attack Monster X. Every time she kept swinging her sword at the villainous alicorn, he kept avoiding it. Then she swings it again and blasted him. After he was blasted, he fired his Gravity Beams and hit the princess.

Princess Luna helplessly watches her sister being demolished by the invader. Twilight whisper to her, “You need to help her, Luna.”

Luna gaze at Twilight and shook her head, “I can’t. Tia orders me to take care of you.”

Twilight left up the princess face, “She need you out there… You need to help her. If you don’t, Monster X will kill her. Please, go save your sister.” Luna was silence, thinking if she should help. Finally, she nodded and flown to the rescue.

Celestia was thrown into a wall and trapped by her own sword. Blood was coming out of her mouth and nose. Monster X spoke, “You fight for the weak, that’s why you lose. It’s over, princess." She began to sob out of the pain that the alicorn had given. “Crying will get you no where.” He was about to finish her, until she trick him and blasted him away.

She slowly got up and spoke, “I… will never… give up. You… will never… break me.”

He got back up and begin to smile at her because she will soon be unconscious. “I have won, princess. While you…” He sped toward the princess and knock her out. “... have fallen.” Until, he was blasted by Luna.

She landed next to her sister. She rubbed her head on Celestia chest and whispered, “I’m sorry I’ve disobeyed your order.” She gape back at Monster X and shouted, “I’m gonna make you pay for hurting my sister you filt."

After he got up, he spoke in a loving tone, “Why do you join her side instead of mine? I’ve seen you before you were reformed. You were very powerful than your worthless sister. If you can turn into Nightmare Moon before, then you can do it again.”

She gained anger in her face, “No. Quiet, you monster.”

He resume, “You were a true ruler of Equestria. Remember what Twilight and her friends had done to you. Remember, they had taken away your true form and rid it with this. If we work together, then nothing and stand in our way. Join me, Luna. And I will make you a queen.”

Suddenly, she can’t hold her anger back anymore and roared, “SILENCE!!!”

Then, she blasted him in the face and grab him. She forces him through structures, walls, rocks, and bricks. She glows her horn and shock the wicked alicorn. Then, she throws him down into the city. After he crashes to the ground, a crowd of ponies watches the princess fighting the monster. Then, she formed a bolt and strike the injure alicorn. He went flying off in the air, where Luna blasted the monster multiple of times. After he landed on the ground, she levitated him up and throw him to a wall. Then, she charged toward the helpless monster, while lightening her horn. When she strikes the alicorn, an explosion occur in that area. Then, she throws the weaken monster to the castle.

When the princess rushes toward Monster X, a force shield formed in front of her. Then, she spotted the monster right beside her sister. He shouted, “Princess Luna!! Join me or your sister will perish!!”

She was frightened and respond, “Please leave my sister out of this. This is between you and me.”

The coward spoke, “I don’t hear a yes” Then, the coward alicorn smack the injure princess. The injure princess began to cry out in pain. He resumed torturing Celestia, until Luna agree to join him.

Luna helplessly watched her sister being abused by the monster. She couldn't hold back her rage any longer. Then, she echoed, “ENOUGH!!” From the echo, she broke the shield. He pauses his torture and watch the fully rage princess. “YOU WANT TO SEE FEAR!! THEN I’LL SHOW YOU FEAR!!!” She rises the moon in the sky, showing the end is near. Twilight, finally recover from the wounds, watching the terror in the sky. Sunset and the others made it outside and spotted Luna in the sky. Then, Princess Luna begins to form into a shadow. Her body began to grow, her wings began to expand, her mane began to change, her teeth formed into fangs, and her eyes turn into hatred. Everyone is shocked from the transformation of the princess. “PREPARE TO FACE NIGHTMARE MOON!!!”

Chapter 5: Wrath of the Nightmare

After Princess Luna turn into Nightmare Moon once again, every ponies show total horror in their eyes, including her mutilate sister. Monster X, on the other hand, shows delight. He whisper to himself, “All acquiring to plan.” Then, he slowly walks toward the nightmare and shouted, “Nightmare Moon!! I am Monster X!! Join me and we will bring destruction upon this worthless world!!”

The dark princess grinned about his offer. Then, she shouts, “Monster X! Your proposal has to be… DENY!!” She blasted him up against a wall. She landed next to her sister and yelled, “You had harmed me and my powerless sister!! You shall not stand in my way!! For that, I SENTENCE YOU… DEATH!!” Finally, she fires upon the devilish alicorn and finish him off. After eliminating the invader, everyone were speechless for a while. She roared, “NOW, TO BRING DARKNESS TO EQUESTRIA FOREVER!!!”

Now, everyone is in total fear. Except for Pinkie Pie and Loony Turtle as they cheered. They both jump around and shouted with joy, “YAY!!! Princess Luna destroyed Monster X!!”

Rainbow Dash head bung them and yelled, “HELLO!! Now, we got one more problem, Nightmare Moon!”

They both look at each other and spoke, “We mean booo.”

The corrupted alicorn spotted the others and began firing upon them. The others quickly took cover and spotted Twilight is still alive. Applejack rushes toward her friend and said, “Twi, are ya alright?”

The young princess got up, ignoring the scratch wounds, and answered, “I’m fine.”

Sunset Shimmer spoke up, “Twilight, how are we going to stop Princess Luna?”

“I… I don’t know. If only we have the elements of harmony, then we could turn her back to normal.”

“Then, what are we going to do?”

Princess Cadance spoke up, “I know what are we going to do. Me and Shining Armor will distract Nightmare Moon. While the rest of you take my mother to safety.”

Twilight interrupts and demanded, “I’m going to with you.”

Shining Armor look at his wife and she spoke, “Twilight it's too dangerous. What happen-”

“I know it’s dangerous, but you two can’t handle her alone. With two alicorns, she won’t stand a chance.”

The princess of love was thinking and finally answered, “Alright, you can help.”

She turns back to her friends and Rarity spoke, “Be careful, darling.”

She responded, “I will. Just take care of Princess Celestia.” Her friends nodded and they finally move out.

Twilight and her step sister lift off into the air and head toward the corrupted princess and start attacking her. While they were blasting her, Nightmare Moon began firing back, but Shining Armor form shields around his sister and wife. The evil alicorn spotted the guard and ready to fire, but Cadance tackle her aunt. After she attack Nightmare Moon, she holds her down while the others escort Celestia to safety.

Suddenly, the wicked alicorn knock her niece off of her and blast down Twilight. After seeing his baby sister got shot, Shining Armor charge toward the nightmare, until she blasted him out of the way. Princess Cadance attack his aunt again, but the evil princess shocked and throw her toward the wall. When Twilight finally got up, she was in horror when she spotted her sister and brother been torture.

After she was finished harming Cadance and Shining Armor, she turned to the young princess and spoke, "Tell me young princess, are you prepared to die?"

Twilight stands tall and respond, "No. But I'm going to stop you Luna." Then suddenly, the corrupted princess roared in anger and begins charging toward the princess. Twilight also charges toward Luna as well.

Meanwhile, Sunset Shimmer and the others manage to take the injured princess to safety. Then suddenly, she heard a blast from the battlefield and believe that Twilight needed reinforcements. She shouted, "Twilight is in trouble! We need to help her!"

Applejack spoke up, "But sugarcube we're no match against Nightmare Moon. We're not even alicorns to even the odds."

Until, Pinkie Pie interrupted, "But we could buy Twilight and the other more time to regain their strengths for a another rematch!!"

Then, Rarity said, "You know you're right, darling. We could give Twilight enough time to heal and fight again."

Rainbow Dash step forward and spoke bravely, "Alright then... Lets do this."

She began to move out, until Sunset block her and said, "Rainbow Dash you can't come with us. You're no conditions to face Nightmare Moon. Plus, we need you to stay behind and protect the princess."

The wounded pegasus shouted with rage, "WHAT!! You guys need me out there!! You'll need all the help to-"

"Please Rainbow Dash," Princess Celestia interrupted. She can only speak in a for a little while due to her injuries against Monster X. "Please... Let the others handle my sister. I need a loyal protector by my side. I need you... Rainbow Dash." Then, the injured princess went into unconsciousness.

After Celestia was passed out, the rainbow maned pegasus rushes toward her ruler. Finally, she tells the others, "Okay. I stay with the princess. Just take care of Twilight for me."

Sunset Shimmer nodded and turn her attention toward the others, "Alright girls lets go and save Twilight."

Nightmare Moon kept battling against the young princess, but Twilight is beginning to grow weaker by the minute. She's trying to keep her strengths up, but Luna is showing no signs of mercy towards the young princess. Finally, the evil alicorn tossed Twilight aside and laughed. "Poor little pony. You never stand a chance against me. Surrender and I may show you mercy."

However, the young princess began to rise up slowly and respond, "I will never betray Celestia, my sister, my brother, and my friends. I will stand for them and all of Equestria!!"

The evil princess began to laugh and roared, "Then fall before me!!"

The corrupted princess was about to eliminate the princess, until her faithful friends knock Nightmare Moon to the ground. Twilight was surprised by the presence of her friends and yelled, "Girls, I thought I told you guys to defend Princess Celestia!"

Sunset set her hoof on the wounded princess shoulder and responded, "Don't worry Rainbow Dash stay behind and protect her. Plus, you can't handle Nightmare Moon alone."

"Oh yes. We couldn't bare seeing you get hurt by anyone, Twilight," whispered Fluttershy.

"That's right, Twi. We will never abandon y'all, no matter what," Applejack spoke up.

"Oh yes, darling," Rarity spoke. "We will always be with."

Then, Pinkie Pie pops up and shouted, "YEAH!! We're family, Twilight. And families always stand together!!" Tears are developing in the young princess eyes and began hugging them. Finally, all of them form a family hug.

Sadly, the moment ended when the evil voice occurred, "How touching, but that will not save!! Hahahahaha!!" Nightmare Moon had risen again and began firing upon the mare friends, plus Spike and the colt unicorn.

The dumb unicorn spoke, "Maybe we should watch that evil lady before she got back up and attack us."

Spike grabbed and shaken the idiot colt, then yelled, "You think!!!"

Then, the ponies ready themselves for battle. All except for Fluttershy, Spike, and Loony Turtle, which they are hidden cover from the fight. As the five of the mares are ready for battle, Pinkie Pie brings out her party cannon. "Wait a second, I thought that cannon of yours was destroyed there," Applejack questioned the goofy pony.

The pink pony responded, "I kept a spare just in case." Finally, the young brave ponies charges into battle.

As the ponies charges toward the evil princess, Nightmare Moon resumed firing at them. While the three unicorns distracted the corrupted alicorn, Applejack manages to tie the rope around her horn and pulled the princess with it, causing her to misfire. Then, Pinkie Pie fired her party cannon at Luna, buying Applejack enough time to tie her up. Then suddenly, Nightmare Moon broke free then throw the cowgirl toward the party pony. Twilight and the others fire upon the evil princess, but she teleported behind them and blast them away.

Then, the wicked princess spotted Fluttershy and the other two hiding from the battle. She levitated the structure that covering them away, then dash in for the kill. Until, her attack was prevented when a shield thrown towards and hit her. They turn around and spotted the earth guard back to his normal form. He spotted his dummy friend and yelled, "Thanks for turning me back to normal!!"

The green unicorn laugh and said, "Oh ha buddy. How you been?" While they were arguing, Fluttershy and Spike were on the sideline, both felt completely confused.

"Oh, I was fine, UNTIL YOU TURN ME INTO A TORTOISE!!"

Then, Spike cut in, "Hold up, how did you turn back to normal?"

Sword Light answered, "Well, luckily the spell wear off like about forty minutes or so. And I never want to turn back into a tortoise again." After he answered, Nightmare Moon manages to get up and attack the helpless victims. When her blast nearly hit the guard, he screamed and shake his best friend, "Turn me back into a tortoise!! Turn me back into a tortoise!!" Then, they began running away from the horrifying princess.

While the evil princess were chasing them, Twilight hurry and aided her brother and sister. "Shining Armor!! Cadance!! Are you both alright," cried the young princess.

The princess of love rose up and spoke loving, "We're fine, Twilight. What about our mother?"

"Don't worry, Rainbow Dash is guarding her."

Unfortunately, their conversation was ended when Nightmare Moon has returned and began terrorizing the innocent ponies. As they were taking cover, Shining Armor tell the others about his plan. "In order to contain Princess Luna, we need to make her stay in one position so we can drain her power." He pointed at Sunset and Rarity. "You two are with to trap her while Twilight and Cadance are draining her power."

Sunset Shimmer cut in, "That show great sir, but we need someone to distract her."

Rarity agreed, "She's right, darling. Applejack and Pinkie Pie are still wounded from Luna attack." The five ponies can't figure out about who will do all of the distractions.

Loony Turtle was listening to their plan and he assists in helping them by pushing his best friend into the open. After he pushes Sword Light, he shouted, "Ha, Nightmare Duke!! Come and get me!!"

The red guard through a ragged look toward his friend and whispered, "Loony, if there a chance I survive out of this, I will kill you." After Nightmare Moon began firing, the earth pony ran like the dickens.

As Twilight and the others were watching the frighten guard distracting the terrible princess, they quickly spring into action. As Sword Light was running for his dear life, he accidentally trips to the ground. Then, as Nightmare Moon stood before the paralyzed guard, he quickly gets down on his knees and beg for mercy. The wicked princess laughs and was going to kill him, until she was trapped in a force shield by three unicorns. Finally, the two alicorns step in and began draining her power.

As Nightmare Moon kept continuing to attack her way out of the shield, she could feel her energy is growing weaker. Finally, she discovered what they were doing and roared, "You fore mortals!! You will never imprison NIGHTMARE MOON!!!" Then, she released a massive amount of blast. They others try to form the shield with everything they got, but the shield beginning to crack. Even the two princesses aided them, but it still won't matter. Finally, the shield has broken and an explosion occurred.

After the smoke finally faded, every pony was completely knocked out from the blast, but luckily no one got killed. When Twilight awakens, she found herself next to Sunset and were happy seeing her friends are alive. Until, she spotted someone with Nightmare Moon. It's Monster X! Somehow he survived Luna blast earlier. She doesn't understand why is he holding Nightmare Moon in his arms. Then suddenly, he kisses her.

Pinkie Pie pop behind the young princess and whined, "Ewwww!! He's kissing her!!"

When Sunset Shimmer awake, she noticed something wrong between them. Finally, she cried, "Twilight!! Look what's happening!!" Then, she examined closely, she noticed that the alien alicorn isn't kissing Luna, he's sucking out her nightmare.

After the venomous Monster X sucks all of the nightmare, he shoved Luna aside and shouted, "Finally!! I have gathered enough energy to destroy this foolish world, ONCE AND FOR ALL!!" Then, he begins to change form.

As the devilish alicorn were changing, Sunset cried to Twilight, "What's happening to him?"

There is a complete horror in the young princess eyes and answered, "Monster X and Nightmare... they're fusing... together! They're being as one!"

Monster X body was beginning to change. His mane tail was dissolve and form two tails. Then, his horn expand about three feet long. Dark red flame was form as his hair. His shoulders formed into two mini monster heads. His wings turn into dragon wings as well. Finally, he turned into his true immortal form. Then, Pinkie whispered from behind, "Nightmare X."

Monster X

Chapter 6: The Final Battle for Equestria

Chapter 6: The Final Battle for Equestria

The sky color has turned red and the ground began to rumble before the wrath of the evil invader, Nightmare X. Twilight and her friends stood helplessly witness as the evil invader consuming the darkness from Luna. He royally marched toward the victims and laugh villainy. "My plan work," Monster X laughed. "Waiting for the princess of the night to fall and then stolen all of her nightmare spirits. NOW I HAVE THE POWER TO VANQUISH THIS WORLD ONCE AND FOR ALL!!" He used his magic to grab Twilight and her mare friends towards him. "Now, none of your foolish friendship magic can stop me! Y'all will beg for mercy before me, because no one can save you now!"

"No," Twilight yelled. "We will never surrender to you! Soon Princess Celestia will recover and destroy you once and for all!"

Suddenly, the evil nightmare started to choke the young princess, causing a struggle toward her friends. "Dumb little girl. You really think you or anyone else will stop me. I will kill you here and now!" He stares deeply into the young pony eyes as he was choking her, but stopped. "Fortunately for you, I'm letting you live to see your mother in law slowly dying before you. Next, I will slaughter your sister in law. Finally, to really break you, I will slay you best friends one by one. I will love seeing you cry deeply. When your planet is dying by the flames... then... you have my permission to die."

Unexpectedly, he was stabbed in the neck, which letting go of Twilight and her friends. It was the earth pony guard whom stuck Nightmare X. As the evil unicorn screaming in pain, Sword Light yelled to his goofy friend, "Loony, get the princesses and the others out of here now! I will handle this demon!"

Loony was scared and caring spoke, "But Sword-"

"I SAID NOW!" As he watched his friend escorting the others to safety, his sword was tossed aside him and noticed Nightmare X still stands.

"Let the others to escape is a foolish move boy. You don't know what happened if they will be alright." The evil demon stare deeply in the young guard soul for a minute, then suddenly he echoed, "Bang." From a single word, he fired a neon beam toward the others. The beam went pass the young mares, but an explosion occurred.

The red colt turned towards the smoke and heard a scream among the girls. After the smoke faded, he spotted his best friend on the ground, remaining still. He was speechless for a while, then grabbed his sword and shield, roared, and charges toward the murder. The nightmare fired neon blasts from his red glowing eyes toward him, but he uses his shield to block it. He began to swing his sword at the monster a couple of times, but the killer kept dodging them. The young warrior weapons were blasted out of his hoofs and was levitated by his neon beams. Finally, he was thrown toward the mares.

Twilight rushes toward the injured guard, "Are you alright?"

"I am, your highness. Get your brother and sister out of here. I will distract him."

Sunset cut in, "No! You're no match against him!"

"None of y'all have the strength to fight him. Just get out of here."

Twilight was caring for his safety and for his life. "But-"

"Your majesty, it's my duty to protect the princesses, even if it kills me. Well I'm doing my duty. Now leave!!"

Twilight knows they don't have time to argue, so she followed his commands. She spotted Applejack and Rarity carry her brother and sister to safety then began to ran away from the battlefield. Leaving the injured warrior alone to fight the darkness.

Meanwhile, Rainbow Dash was speechless after the surprise earthquake and the sky was on fire. Her attention of the nightmare was interrupted by the ruler coughs. She quickly aided toward her princess and began to sob on her warm fur. As she was crying, she can feel one of Celestia wings covering her. Then, she cried, "Princess... what's going on out there?! I don't know if my friends are alive or..." She stopped and resumed sobbing.

"Hush my little pony," Celestia spoke with a caring tone. "I don't know if your friends are safe, but I do know that they're brave... just like you. Have faith, my brave pony. Your friends will return soon... I know they will." The young pegasus wrapped away her tears and began nuzzling at her neck as the princess lay a kiss on her forehead.

Suddenly, the rainbow pony got up quickly and ready to fight because she heard hoof steps charging toward them, fearing if it's Nightmare Moon or Monster X. The figure first steps in was her best friend, Twilight. She dashes, hugged her friend, and cried with joy, "TWILIGHT!! I'M SO GLAD THAT YOU'RE ALRIGHT!!" Behind her are the others, carrying Cadance and Shining Armor. The excited pony ran toward the others and cried, "GUYS!! I'M GLAD Y'ALL ALIVE TOO!!" She helped carry them and placed them beside the princess. She asked them, "What happened out there? What's Luna doing?"

They remain silent, but Sunset answered, "Luna is back to herself, but Monster X is back and steal the nightmare out of her."

Rainbow Dash was shocked for a while then spoke confused, "Wait! I thought he was dead!"

Applejack stood beside her, "Ah thought so too, sugarcube. Ah thought Luna ended him, but that bull doesn't like to be handled that easily. He was waiting for us to-" Suddenly, she was stuck on the side by a laser, leaving the others a major shock.

Rainbow rushes toward her friend with tears in her eyes and cried, "Applejack... Applejack... APPLEJACK!!" She turns toward the shooter and spotted X.

He laughed and spoke in a mocking tone, "Ooooooh I'm sorry. I just overheard that cowgirl mocking me by calling me a bull. She hurts my feelings, so I hurt her. Please don't tell me that she isn't important to y'all."

The raged pegasus turns toward the murder and roared, "She was my friend you... you... you... YOU BASTARD!!" Behind her was her friends diving in to stop her, but she is already rushing toward Nightmare X.

She then tackles him and starting to punch him in the face really rough like twenty times as both his mouth and nose were bleeding. Before she drove in another punch, the evil invader dodges it and bitten her hoof, causing her to scream in pain. Then, he electrified her and tossed her aside.

Watching their friend suffering out there, they were done being helpless and enter the battlefield, leaving Sunset to watch over the others. Twilight and the others charge toward the dark invader with with everything they got. She and Rarity fired their beams toward his eyes, which blinding him. While he was blinded, Fluttershy quickly tie a rope around his legs. Then, Pinkie fired her party cannon and pushes the him to the ground. Finally, the alicorn planted a non-magic chain around his horn. The young princess and her friends are cheering for trapping the monster. Sadly, the shy pegasus didn't tie up the ropes well, causing him to be free from the ropes and remove the chain.

When they turned around, they're shocked by his appearance. They looked back at Fluttershy and she apologized, "Sorry."

Then, he charges toward the innocent ponies and punish them. He tossed Rarity towards the wall of the castle. He smashed the party cannon and kicked the pink pony in the chin. He grabbed the purple unicorn and electrified her. The sadden pegasus tries to stop him, but he shamelessly slapped her. As he was torturing Twilight, he whispered to her ear, "I will enjoy seeing you cry before your friends demise. Watching everyone you hold so dear, dies before your eyes."

As the sinister alicorn was laughing out loud, he was blasted in the mouth and coughing out the smoke. When he turned toward the shooter, it was Sunset. Before he could make his move, he was damaged from Rainbow Dash head, causing her to be unconscious. The orange unicorn rushes towards her best friend aides. The young alicorn thanks for her help and quickly spring into action.

Both of the mares fired upon the sinister invader, but sadly no effect. The monster teleported behind and swept them aside. He reappeared by the young alicorn and punch her in the stomach. The two of them got back up and charged with fury in their eyes.

He said, "This is your last chance to surrender, my little ponies." Next, the two mares fired everything they got, but he have risen a shield to block them. He laughed as they were firing, "Come now. Is this anyway to make friends?" Then, he fired two neon blasts in one shot and injured the two mares. He stepped on the alicorn and resumed, "Listen, I'll spare this ridiculous game and end this quickly."

Twilight began crying in pain and shouted, "SHUT UP!! I WILL NEVER SURRENDER TO YOU!!!"

He giggled out of her struggle and laughed, "Well... this will be the end for you."

Suddenly, he was stabbed in the neck by Sunset, but still won't go down. He grabbed and tossed her in the open. He yelled in anger, "YOU BRAT!! I GAVE YOU A CHANCE TO BE BY MY SIDE!! AND THIS IS WHAT I GET!! YOU DIE!!!"

Twilight lay helplessly before her friend demise and cried with tears in her eyes, "NO!! STOOOOOOOOP!!!"

He gathered a whole amounts of energy and roared before he fired, "NOW DIIIIIIIIIE!!!" His neon blast headed towards the frightened unicorn, made collision, and released an explosion.

The young princess began sobbing in tears over her friend death. Sunset Shimmer. The mare who was redeemed and joined their friendship. Life taken away from this monster.

Until, the evil tyranny yelled, "WHAT?!"

Twilight drawn her attention to the dusty fog and spotted someone standing in it. It's the earth guard. It's appeared that he's holding a handle and let it go, which what used to be a shield. Behind him, is Sunset.

The guard was breathing hardly and was all scratch up. Sunset was shocked by his bravery and whispered nervously, "Wh-Wh-Why?" Light Sword tried to stand tall, but the devastating blast brought him down. She rushed to his aid. Tears were running out of her eyes as she cried, "Wh-Why? Why would you do that?"

He slowly lifted his head towards the unicorn and cry with his dying breath, "Be-Because... I don't want... anyone to die... like my best friend." Then, he's gone.

The shock unicorn kept tossed his body, trying to wake him up. She cried, "NO NO PLEASE DON'T GO!! PLEASE DON'T DIE!! PLEASE!!" She hugged and sobbed over his decay body. Even, Twilight cry over his honorary sacrifice.

Monster X, on the other hand, wasn't impressed. He said emotionless, "What a worthless soul to waste. He could have walked away and spend the remaining time of his life. But sadly no. He just wants to wasted by sacrificing himself to save a useless whore." He began walked over to the heartbroken unicorn. He laughed over her sob, "Hahahaha. Now, it's your turn to share his faith."

Suddenly, he was brought down by anonymous blast. They all turned toward the shooter and it was Celestia, with fire in her eyes. She roared in her equestrian voice, "THAT'S ENOUGH!! Her roar release an earthquake across Equestria. "I WANT YOU TO STOP IT!!!"

Monster X slowly got up and laughed, "So that's it huh. You're making the same mistake Twilight did, princess of the sun. Don't think you can stand a chance against my perfect form."

"I WILL MAKE YOU PAY FOR HARMING AND MURDERING MY SUBJECTS!!!

"Come at me, princess."

Both of the alicorns charge at each in full force. When they made contact, a whole amount of force blew through the area. Both of them kept shaving their horns at each other. Finally, she loses her horn and blasted his face. After blinding him, she tackled him to the ground, which causing a huge explosion. The princess try to rid the nightmare away from Monster X, but he regained his strength and tossed the princess. He held her down and torturing Celestia mercilessly.

He whispered on to her ear, "Now, you will die with you kingdom."

Then suddenly, he was shot down by a form of two blasts. It was from Cadance and Shining Armor. Cadance shouted, "Surrender X! With the power of our love, you'll be begging for our mercy!" They both fired their beams and shocking the tyranny.

As he was being electrified, he cried, "Oh no! I am doom! What will ever I will-EAT THIS!!" Then, he break through their beams, fired his levitated beams, and tossed them toward Celestia. He walked towards them sinisterly. "Fools. Do y'all really believe I've forgot about your love blast with the battle against Chrysalis? Now, to finish y'all-" He was cut off by another blast. "OH MY GOSH!!"

Twilight flew towards the heartless invader and tackle him. As she was stinking him, she roared, "Leave my family... ALONE!!"

He uses both of his upper legs to crush her back. He used his magic to grabbed her by the neck and laughed, "How many times will I brought you down? Now, you will-" He was cut off again by being tackled by Rainbow Dash. "OH COME ON!!"

She then shouted while punching him really hard in the chest, "STOP...HURTING... MY... FRIENDS!!"

Until, Nightmare X bitten and ripped a small piece of her ear, causing her to cry out in pain. He grabbed her by the cheeks and laughed, "This is what happens if you be a hero." He glowed his horn and scratch her right eye. After hearing her loud scream, he threw her aside.

Rainbow slowly got up and shouted, "Ha!! I'm not done with you, freak. Come here and fight!!"

He laughed, "What with you ponies, always cracking me up!! You, Rainbow Dash, are weak. Look at you, you're a pegasus! You don't have no horn! No magic! You're not even a alicorn!"

She was enraged by his insults. Both of her ear and scar eye was bleeding. She try to hold back her anger, but instead she just spill it out of her mouth. "Buck magic. Buck horns. Buck alicorns. AND BUCK YOU!!!" Then, in ten seconds, she released a rainboom and rushes to Nightmare X.

The insidious demon fired his neon beams at the rage pegasus, even though she's taking damage, she ignores the pain and kept charging. She tackled him and began punching him furiously in the face. Tears are running out of her eyes as she released all of her anger upon the murder of her close friend.

Nightmare X was coughing out blood from his mouth and eyes. He spoke every time he got punched by Rainbow Dash, "Please-let me-live... I-don't-want-to-die-"

"SHUT UP," the rainbow-haired pony roared. "JUST SHUT UP AND DIE!! JUST SHUT UP AND DIE!! JUST SHUT UP AND DIE!!" She keeps repeating it every time she punched him.

While she was torturing the invader, Twilight lay speechless by her best friend rage towards Nightmare X. Celestia was speechless as well by the young pony acting so violently. Even Twilight brother and sister were horrified as well. Sunset Shimmer, who still lay beside the decay guard body, was afraid by this new Rainbow Dash.

After the others recover, they were horrified by what they're seeing. Pinkie Pie left her jaw dropped while tears running down her eyes. Rarity was shocked by her friend harm towards X. Fluttershy shut her eyes, covered her ears, and cry over her closest friend rage.

Finally, her punches slow down as she began to cry. Nightmare X was dead in Rainbow sight. She ended her anger and sobbed on the monster decay body. She sobbed over Applejack death. Until, a western voice changed her mood, "Rainbow?"

Rainbow Dash hilt her tears and turned to the voice. It's Applejack. Beside her was Spike, helping her to keep balance. Everyone was surprised by her reappearance. Rainbow spoke confused, "Applejack-"

Then suddenly, she was blasted from behind and flew off in the open. Everyone were shocked by the event. Twilight screamed in horror, "RAINBOW!!"

The blast came from Nightmare X. His face was fastly healed by his dark magic. He roared in anger, "HOW DARE YOU MAGGOTS!! I WILL TORTURE AND KILL ALL OF YOU... NICE AND SLOWLY!!"

Twilight kept tossing her best friend body to wake up, but sadly not even a single movement occurred. She gave up and sob over the decay body. She can even hear her friends shading tears and mourns over Rainbow Dash. Then, she silence her cries, stand tall, faces toward Nightmare X, and roared in total rage, "I WILL DESTROY YOU FOR WHAT YOU DID TO HER!!!"

The heartless invader laughed and mocked her, "Oh, I am sorry. Why would you cry over her... instead of joining her." Before he can move, he was shot back in the head by Princess Luna. Everyone was surprised by her reappearance and bring joy to her sister face. Nightmare X rubbed his head and shouted, "You?! I THOUGHT I'VE STOLEN ALL OF YOUR MAGIC!!"

"Unworthy wealth," Princess Luna said angry. "You just stolen my nightmare. I still contain my own magic." She turned to Twilight. "Twilight, together!"

Both of the active alicorns fired upon Nightmare X and try to rid the nightmare away from him. Twilight was about to loses her grip, until they were supported by the rest of the family. Shining Armor and Cadance both stand by their sister to regain her strength. They were about to remove the nightmare form from him, until he released all of levitated beams at the magic, which causes an explosion.

After the explosion faded, everyone of Twilight bones are broken. She lay helplessly being a victim to Nightmare X. She turned to her families and friends all knocked out. Then, the evil invader laughed while he's walking towards her, "Well well well. Look like the mighty princess of friendship is down for good. Now, you lay defenseless before me."

Before Twilight await her demise, Spike voice occurred, "Twilight!" He rushes to her aid, until he was grabbed by the evil tyranny.

Nightmare X bring the baby dragon by his side and spoke, "You know what... I have a change of heart. I'll keep you baby dragon as a slave. Just a last remaining thing before I destroy this world... with you with it."

Twilight lifted her head slowly and roared, "Let him go or I will-"

"You'll what girl. Huh, HUH!! Look at you. You're weak!! You can't defend even yourself now. Face the facts, little girl. The princesses are down. You little rainbow friend is dead. You're nothing now. When will you get it!! You lost... I won." Then, he fired his neon blast at her, cause her to fly off. As he began walking away, Spike cried for Twilight aid, but she remains still.

The sky's turn into total darkness, the land is on fire. The ground was left with burn stains and a deceased body was spotted. The body on the ground is Shining Armor. Then, Twilight cried her brother name echoed across the darkness.

Then, Canterlot settlements began to explode. Princess Celestia scream echoed across the castle. Twilight called out her mentor name before she dies. Next, Spike cries for his best friend aid. She kept crying out for the baby dragon name before he dies as well. She was left alone, crying over the lost of her friends and family. Till Nightmare X laughing over the sadden alicorn suffering. Along with his sinister laugh, were her friends screaming in pain as they were dying, causing Twilight to shade even more tears. Finally, it all ended before Equestria, the whole planet, explodes.

Twilight woke up from the foreshadow nightmare. She quickly got up and fired the tyranny in the back, causing him to let go of Spike. After Spike was free, he quickly hide somewhere. The monster turned towards her with rage in his eyes. He yelled in anger, "WHAT WILL IT TAKE TO END YOU PONIES!!!"

Twilight spoke, "For Spike... for brother... for Celestia... for my family... for my friends and the future of Equestria... I am not about to give up. I won't let you get away this. I will finish you once and for all." Then, her whole body was starting to change as she was levitating. "This is for my Spike, friends, family, Rainbow Dash, and the innocent lives you merciless kill!"

As she was levitating, her whole body is starting to change. Her mane and ponytail started to grow longer. Her horn grow long as well. Stars shaped figures were formed on her hoofs. Different colors were formed on her alicorn wings. Twilight Sparkle have received the power of the rainbow.

Then, she spoke in a equestrian voice, "YOUR TIME HAS COME NIGHTMARE X!!" With all of her might, she released all of her power to finish the cruel tyranny. The blast is a rainbow changing colored beam.

As the full blast is heading toward him, he roared in anger, "YOU WILL NEVER WIN!! YOU WILL DIE WITH THIS WORLD!!!" After he roared, he released his amounts of neon blast towards hers.

When the whole beams made contact, the whole world is started to vibrate and the sky had turned into black. Both of the alicorns try to contain and strengthen their blasts. Suddenly, Twilight was getting weakened by using all of her energy to the blast. Nightmare X knew that she's getting weak and smile to wait for his get victory.

Until, on the sidelines, Sunset Shimmer walked toward them while ignoring the dust and the mighty winds blowing at her. She started angry towards the nightmare invader. She whispered to herself, "I don't care if you're really that powerful. You hurt my friends and even killed one of them. You slaughtered innocent ponies, who had done nothing to you. I just want you dead!!"

Finally, she fired and broken Nightmare X horn, causing him to lose control over his blast. Twilight heard the snap of his horn and gave everything into her blast to finish him once and for all.

Before dissolving from the mighty blast, he echoed with his dying breath, "Impossible! How can I be defeated... by the likes of you... I am the most powerful being in this world... I'm a god... I'm a... god." Then, he roared as he's dissolving to death within the blast, expected the nightmare he had stolen from Luna, which escape the blast and returned to it rightful owner.

Finally, Monster X is destroyed from the blast. Twilight was breathing heavily and then went unconscious before falling to the ground.

Chapter 7: Aftermath

Chapter 7: Aftermath

Twilight quickly woke up and was breathing hard. "Twilight Sparkle," Princess Luna spoke as she quickly rushes to her aid. "Are thou alright?"

As she was breathing, she found herself all tug in on a royal bed, which means she's still in Canterlot. She was confused and lost about the battle against Monster X. She responded, "Luna... you're alright. What happened? And what happened to Monster X?" Did y'all defeated him?" She gasped. "Please don't tell he escaped!"

Luna lay her hoof on the young princess shoulder and calm her. "Calm down, young pony. You vanquished the sinister demon. He is destroyed forever."

"What? I defeated him?"

"Why yes. Don't thou remember any of it?"

Twilight spoke after she was wrapping her head, "All I remember was that I free Spike and stood tall before him. After that, everything went into a blur."

"I saw everything, young Twilight Sparkle. After thou free your baby dragon, thou changed into a form that I never seen before. It was like the elements of harmony were connected to you and your friends after thou gave it up for free me and my sister."

The princess of friendship was curious about what Luna described about her form when she vanquished the invader. She resumed, "I think you're right, Princess Luna." As she try to remember the epic final battle against Monster X, she remembered the nightmare she had before the fight began. She said with a sad look on her face, "Princess Luna, I had a frightening nightmare before I freed Spike. It was horrible. It was like a foreshadow about what would happen if Monster X won. He killed my brother, Celestia, Spike, all of my friends, and all of Equestria."

The princess look away with disappointed look on her face. She spoke in disappointment, "Twilight Sparkle... I gave you that nightmare."

The young pony gasps and said confused, "You gave me that nightmare. Bu-But why?"

She climbed on the bed and lay beside her and explained, "I was afraid that if we failed to defeat the monster, then everyone we fought for will perish. So, I gave you the nightmare, because you're the bravest among us. Even when you're in no condition to fight, you still fight to defend your friends and families. And I was right." She looked away again. "Twilight Sparkle, I'm so sorry for giving you the nightmare. I was afraid that you and my sister will die. I was afraid that everyone I love will be gone forever. I-I-"

She was cut off by the hug from the young princess. Tears was running down from her eyes as she spoke, "Thank you Princess Luna. Thank you for giving me the strength to save everyone, including you. I-I-I love you Luna." Then, the princess of the night hugged back.

"I love you too Twilight Sparkle."

After they were done hugging each, the doors opened. Came in were Twilight friends and family all yelled with joy, "TWILIGHT!!" Then, all of them rushes to her and formed a hug.

When they broke the group hug, Applejack spoke with joy, "Twilight, ah am so happy y'all alright!"

Twilight responded, "Same here, Applejack. I can't believe you survive out of that strike. I'm so happy you're alive."

"Same here, sugarcube."

Pinkie Pie hugged the young alicorn again and shouted with joy, ""WE ARE SO HAPPY YOU ARE FEELING BETTER TWILIGHT!!"

Rarity joined, "Indeed darling. We're calm by your recovery."

Fluttershy whispered, "Yes Twilight. We're so happy that you are alright and save all of us from that monster."

The princess of friendship was warmest by the appearance of her friends and family. She smiled even more by her great two friends, Spike and Sunset, as they were rushing to her and formed a hug.

Tears were running from their eyes with joy and comfort. Sunset spoke first, "We are so happy you're alive, Twilight."

Spike spoke, "Yeah. And thank you for saving my life."

Twilight added, "Well, I couldn't have done it alone. We all pitch in. Especially, you Sunset. Without your help, Monster X would've won."

Sunset looked away from embarrassment and hidden a smile. Shining Armor and Cadance hugged their little sister. Her older brother cried with joy, "I am so relief that you're alive, Twily. I am so proud of you."

Cadance added, "As am I, Twilight. You saved Equestria and all of us."

"Thanks guys," Twilight said with care. "I'm so happy everyone is alive." Suddenly, she remembered about Rainbow Dash being injured and not among the others. "Where's Rainbow?!"

Sadly, they all frowned and none of them spoke up. Finally, Luna respond, "Follow me Twilight."

The young princess got off the bed and followed the princess of the night, while the others stay behind. While she was following her aunt, she witnesses so many guards, were injured by Monster X wrath, were getting medical treatment. Among them was both of the stallions that helped them in the battle.

Then, Luna stopped by her sister room and open the door. When the young princess enter the room, she found Rainbow Dash unconscious beside Celestia laying by the fireplace. She found her best friend all scratched up after battling the invader; with a scar on her right eye and a ripped scratch on her right ear as well.

Celestia finally notice her appreciate entered her room. She said, "Oh, hello Twilight. I'm glad you're all healed up. I would like to graduate you for vanquishing Monster X."

The princess of friendship grateful by her gratitude, but she draw her attention back to her friend. She ask her mother in law, "Celestia... is Rainbow going to be alright?"

She turned to the injured pegasus and cover her with her mighty wings. "She had suffered a horrible damage from X, but she will be fine. Sadly, I can't do anything about her scars. She must live on with these scratches given by that tyranny."

"I'm just happy that she's still alive. How long will she come back?"

"I'm afraid that she will be unconscious for several weeks. Till she awakened, she shall stay here with me. I'll promise you that I'll take good care of her."

Twilight lowered her head in regret, because she blamed herself for causing this punishment upon her friend. She sighed and resumed speaking to her mentor, "Thank you, Princess Celestia. I promise to drop by and check on her."

"I will look forward to it. Well actually, I was planning to send report about her condition everyday, but whatever makes you happy Twilight."

Thank you, your highness." Before she leaves her mentor alone, she asked one more favor, "Oh Princess Celestia."

"Yes Twilight."

"There was this one earth guard who helped us against Monster and saved Sunset. I spotted him and his friend among the wounded."

"Why yes. One of the guards mentioned that we were lucky to find them still breathing. In matter of seconds, they could've die."

"I'm glad they're alive. Can you please awarded him for his honor and bravery in the battlefield?"

"Of course Twilight. Now, I believe you and your friends wanted to go home after this dreadful event."

"Yeah, I'm pretty sure the others wanted to go, because they might bring worry to their families."

"Of course. I would like to thank you again for protecting Equestria, Twilight. Have a safe journey back home."

"Goodbye Princess Celestia." Before she heads out the door, she turned and looked back at her friend one more time. She whispered herself, "Goodbye Rainbow. I sorry for what happened to you. I hope you will forgive me." Finally, she exited the room.

After she stepped out of the room, she spotted her friends hanging out with the two stallions, who helped them in battle. She cut into their conversation, "Hey guys."

"Ah there Twilight," Applejack spoke first. "So... how's Rainbow Dash? Is she well yet?"

The princess frowned and lowered her head and answered, "I-I'm sorry girls... but Rainbow Dash can't come back to Ponyville... she's unconscious."

The rest gasped after hearing her condition. Rarity spoken first, "Poor dear. H-How long is she going to be unconscious, darling?"

"For about couple of weeks... probably a month."

Pinkie added, "T-Then why can't we bring her back home and take care of her?"

"Princess Celestia insisted that she should stay here and nursing Rainbow herself. It at least she could for her act of bravery." The young princess turned to Fluttershy. "Fluttershy, you won't mind taking care of Tank would you."

"Oh, I won't mind at all," loving Fluttershy. I will take good care of him until Rainbow is fine again."

"Well," Applejack cut in, "ah hope she gonna be alright there girls. Ah don't know what to do without that poor filly."

"Don't worry Applejack," Sunset add in, "she will be fine. She's with Princess Celestia. She's in good hand."

Everyone nodded with Sunset support. Then, the wounded guard slowly got off the bed, with the help of his friend, and faces towards Twilight. He bowed and spoke, "It was an honor to serve by your side, Princess Twilight Sparkle. Actually, it was a honor to fight alongside with all of y'all."

The princess of friendship honored by this brave soldier. "Thank you... uh... I'm so sorry but what is your name?"

"My name is Sword Light, my lady." He turned to his unicorn friend. "This is my friend, Looney Turtle. The one who turned me into a tortoise."

"Well," Applejack jumps in, "we appreciated the y'all partners help us out."

"Don't mention it."

Pinkie Pie pop out behind them, causing them to be surprised. She spoke, "No seriously, we really appreciate that. Even it almost killed y'all." She grabbed the Looney, "You almost got killed when Nightmare X blasted you from behind!!"

The green unicorn response with joys, "I almost die."

She draw Sword and Sunset together, "And you almost died when you sacrifice yourself to save Sunset!! That was so brave." Both of the two blushes when they made eye contact.

Twilight walked towards them. "We're really grateful for y'all help. I hope we see you two again someday."

"Farewell, Princess Twilight Sparkle."

When they began to leave, Sunset walked to Sword Light and kiss him on the check and leave with the others, causing him to be speechless. His friend said with a mocking tone, "Soooooo... that was your first kiss from a maaaaare! How did it feel?" The earth stallion was still speechless. His friend began to wave his hoof across his face, "Hello? Sword Light?"

As the rest of the girls were waiting on the train to arrive to get home, Twilight and Sunset were about to say farewell to each other. Twilight spoke, "Sunset, thank you for helping me back there against X. I really appreciate it."

Sunset spoke, "Don't mention it, Twilight. I am just happy that you and the rest are alright. Again, I am so sorry for what happened to Rainbow Dash."

"Don't worry about. Celestia will take good care of her."

"I know. Well, look like you're the hero of the day."

"What are you talking about?"

"You defeated Monster X and save everyone. Even Equestria."

"No. You save everyone. Without you, we wouldn't even know about him nor able to destroy him as well. You're the hero. You're the one who save everyone."

"Huh. I don't feel like a hero. But thanks, Twilight."

Pinkie voice shouted to Twilight. "TWILIGHT, THE TRAIN IS HERE!!"

The young princess turned back her friend, "Well, I guess that this is goodbye."

"Goodbye Twilight."

Before she heads toward the train, she asked Sunset for a favor, "Sunset, would you mind checking on Rainbow for me?"

"Of course."

Finally, she waved goodbye to Sunset and head on home with the others. Rest from this dreadful day.

Chapter 2: Unexpected Discovery

Darkness clouded over Equestria. Princess Luna lies on the ground, with scratches and wounds around her. She witness the castle is covered with flames and smokes. She could hear thousands of ponies are screaming for mercy. She looks around and spotted unspeakable horror. Twilight and her friends’ corpses are surrounded by flames. Princess Cadance died on her decease husband’s arms. Her beloved sister, Celestia, is dying. She began to crawl toward her dying sister. She wraps her legs around her crippled sister and cried, “Sister!”

Celestia sorely lifted her head toward her little sister and spoke with her dying breath, “Luna… It’s not your fault. It’s not your fault. It’s… not your… fault.” Then, died in her sister’s arms.

“NO!! TIA!! Please wake up! Don’t leave me! TIA!!” Luna began to sob on her decease sister. Until, a large alicorn stands before Luna. Luna turns and was terrified by the monstrous alicorn. The alicorn that stand before her is Nightmare Moon.

Suddenly, a colt voice comes from Nightmare Moon, “Now you’re mine, Princess of Night.” The colt alicorn horn forms a neon glow and then blasted straight toward Luna.

Princess Luna awoken. After she have awoken from her horrifying dream, she began to cry. Then, Celestia burst in and yelled, “Sister! What’s the matter?”

Luna rushes toward her sister and began to hug her. She cried, “Oh, sister!! I had a most horrifying nightmare!”

Celestia wraps her wings around her sister. “It’s alright my dear sister. I’m here. I’m here.” After Luna was calm, she asks, “What happen Luna? I've never seen you have a nightmare before.”

“Neither did I. Now thou mention, I don’t believe it was a dream.”

“Do you believe we might there’s a new threat is coming in Equestria?”

Princess Luna stares out of the window at the Everfree Forest. She spoke, “I believe… not from this world.”

It has been a couple of minutes since Twilight and the others enter the forest, still wandering around. The group grew impatient during their travel. Finally, Rainbow Dash sighed and yelled, “I can’t take it anymore. Twilight, are you sure that map of yours getting us any closer to this meteor thing-a-ma jig?”

Rarity whined, “Yes, darling. I’m beginning to sweat over here. Are we getting any closer?”

Twilight look away from her map and said, “We’re almost there girls. Just a couple of more miles to our destination.”

They all sighed; except for Pinkie Pie, she laugh. Applejack spoke, “Sugarcube, why can’t ya teleported us over there instead of walking?”

Sunset Shimmer cut in, “Because neither me nor Twilight have ever been to the crash meteor before.”

Twilight agreed with Sunset and spoke, “All we have to do is to use the map, that will lure us toward the meteor.”

Rainbow Dash rushes toward her and grab the map. She said with furious tone, “Just give me that map. I can fly faster to the meteor. Where are we on this stupid map?” Until, frosting fall upon the map, leaving a confuse look on her face. When she look up, Pinkie Pie was on top of her, eating cupcakes. “PINKIE PIE!!!” Then, she flees away from the furious pegasus. “Well, that just great. The map is a mess.” Then, she began wrapping off the frosting, which making it worse.

Rarity push Rainbow Dash aside and spoke, “Stand aside darling, let the professional handle this.” She pulls out some napkins and wrap away the stains.

Rainbow Dash came back and stress the map away from Rarity. She shouted, “Let me handle it, Rarity! I was cleaning a lot better before you push me!”

“No Dash, you were making it worse!”

Then, Pinkie Pie grab the other end of the map and shouted, “Let me lick the frostings!”

“No Pinkie, you gonna ruin the map!” yelled Rainbow Dash.

“Just give me, give me, give me!”

The three ponies kept pulling the map and it’s starting to rip. Twilight yelled, “Girls stop!! You’ll going to-” Then, they split the map. “Well that’s just fantastic. Now how are we gonna find the meteor?”

Until, Fluttershy spotted something in the forest and scream to the others, “EH! I think I saw something behind the trees!”

Rainbow Dash jump and shout, “It must be the meteor monster. I GOT IT!”

Applejack try to stop her, “Wait Sugarcube, we don’t know-” Then, the pegasus tackles the unknown creature. Finally, Applejack finish, “who it is?”

The others went toward the stranger, suddenly they shouted in surprise, “ZECORA?”

Finally, Rainbow Dash quickly got off of her and she spoke, “Well, that was the last time I’ve ever put on my hood.” She looks upon Twilight and the others, “Ah, Twilight Sparkle. What bring you’ll into the forest?”

Twilight apologizes, “Hi, Zecora. I’m so sorry about Rainbow Dash for tackling you!” She draws an annoyed look at the rainbow mane pony.

“What,” whine Rainbow Dash. “How I supposed to know if it was her? I thought she was that meteor monster.”

Zecora interrupted, “It’s alright, my friends. I’m perfectly fine.”

“Excuse me, Miss Zecora,” Sunset Shimmer cut in. “Do you know or have seen a crash meteor?”

“Unusual on how you mention it. I have spotted the space rock around the forest.”

“Wait,” Twilight stops her. “You’ve seen the meteor.”

“Yes. I’ve witness the unusual voodoo magic from the meteor.”

“Can you explain?”

“Yes. Everyday, I witness it turn objects around it to float in thin air. At night, I witness it glow at each beat it made.”

“That means that whatever inside it is ready to harsh. We have to stop it before it’s done with the process.”

“Miss Zecora,” Sunset asks. “Can you led us to the meteor?”

“Yes, follow me.”

After a couple of minutes, they finally made it to the meteor. They hide behind a brush, so they can avoid attention from the meteor. Zecora spoke, “This is unusual. I’ve never seen the meteor does nothing.”

“Who care,” yell Rainbow Dash. “Let’s just go over there and take it down!” Then, she dashes toward the meteor, until she was hauled back by Sunset Shimmer.

“Rainbow,” growled Sunset Shimmer. “You just can’t do that. What happen if it annihilated you?”

“Yeah Sugarcube,” Applejack agrees. “Ya can’t just spring into action so fast.”

“Spike,” Twilight whispered. “You got my tools?”

“Right here, Twilight,” he answer.

Twilight quietly got out of the brush and crawl toward the meteor. While her friends, still hide behind the brush, watch her taking care of the meteor. She was about to pull out her materials, until Pinkie Pie jump out of the meteor and shouted, “HI, TWILIGHT!!” which startled her.

She took a deep breath and yelled, “Pinkie Pie, what are you doing in the meteor?!!”

“What,” confuse Pinkie Pie. “it was empty when I got inside.”

“What?” She rushed toward the empty meteor and examine it. When she places her hoof on the opened meteor, it was still warm.

“What happen Twilight?” asks Sunset.

“Guys. Whatever inside of the meteor, just gotten out just recently.”

“So that means this creature just escape like minutes ago?” ask Rarity.

“I’m afraid so. That means he’s somewhere in Equestria by now.” Then suddenly, Spike conjures up a letter. She took the letter and read over it. “It’s from Cadance.” After she was done, she gasps.

“What it said Twilight,” ask Spike.

“My brother… he’s missing.”

Squeal

Squeal

Rain was pouring at night. Raindrops are falling on the soils of the battlefield against the deceased tyranny. All that remains was the cut off horn of Monster X. Suddenly, a mysterious figure stood before the horn and picked up with his magic.

Then, the voice of a dark stallion spoken, "These filthy fools will pay for their interference against my destiny. They will pay for taking away my great empire. They will pay for taking away my great kingdom. I will make sure that all of you will suffer for your interference. But... I will patience. Soon, y'all will face foes in the future and difficult journeys. Soon, I have big plans for all of you. Soon... y'all will pay for your betrayals. And soon... you will be mine... my love... and you too... daughter."
