The Return of Nightmare Moon

     Chrysalis awoke, once again to the annoying buzzing of the alarm clock. She felt like smashing it into a million plastic fragments but she had to get up or her dreams of world domination might be lost. She pushed the sheets aside and stretched; her spine popped as she did so. She forced herself out of bed.

     Her feet hit the cold floor and she walked over to her bathroom. She washed her face and brushed her teeth. The cool water helped to wake her from her dazed state. She walked over to the dark wooden bureau and brushed her dark purple mane.

     “Spike?” she called in a rather giddy tone.

     “Huh?” said Spike drowsily looking up from his bed.

     “I’ll be late coming home; don’t wait up for Me.” she said happily and she dashed down the stairs and out the door leaving spike to stay in his warm bed.

     After a long walk, boring train ride, and an unnecessary security check she was in. Never before had she seen so many books in one place. The shelves must have been forty feet tall! There was no telling how long they were.  The air smelled of paper, the room was lighted by several crystal chandeliers. Books of all sizes and colors covered every wall.

     She wandered around the ever winding labyrinth of books until she found what she had searched for; the section on the Elements of Harmony. It was behind a huge wooden door. Two white unicorns with gold armor and spears stood in front of the mighty door. Their faces were blank, they stood silently, unblinking. They reminded Chrysalis of statues. She bravely approached the door. They crossed their spears in front of her with a metallic clank.

     “What is the meaning of this!?” she demanded looking, each of the guards in the eye.

     “Oh, sorry Twilight. Didn’t recognize you hehe.” they said nervously parting before her. She didn’t respond, just walked through the door.

     Before her, on a crystal pedestal sat an ancient text. Suddenly a dark, luminous cloud flew out from within the pages. It glided in front of her and synthesized into Dark Flame.

     “Couldn’t stay away from me could you?” asked Chrysalis affectionately.

     “I’m not amused. Celestia has a plan to destroy me. Hurry up and find that reversal function.” he said rather angrily and he glided out under the door.

     “So snippy. At least he’s cute.” said Chrysalis to herself.

     She opened the heavy text.  Dust flew from the cover; no one had touched it in ages obviously. She flipped through the passages until the words; “Two dark hearts” caught her eyes.

     She read the passage. “When two dark hearts take hold of the elements, they become the Elements of Disharmony and take on the opposite effect.”

     “It only takes too? Perfect!” Chrysalis said evilly to herself.

     Suddenly Princess Celestia burst into the room.

     “Twilight!” she exclaimed. “We need you and the Elements at once!” This is what Chrysalis had been waiting for. She and Celestia dashed off to the chamber where the Elements where kept.
