Chapter 5: Sacrifice

Previous ChapterNext Chapter

Twilight, Sunset, and Rainbow Dash were running across open sections of freshly cut grass that surrounded Canterlot High. Twilight, being the least athletic of the three, was slowing down after all the constant running she has been doing. She soon came to a halt, having to catch her breath in huge gasps for air. "Rainbow, when we get back to Equestria, can you train me to be more athletic like you?" she asked as she bent over in exhaustion.

"That might be a bit of a long shot." Rainbow snickered. Sunset ran ahead to make sure the portal was clear. She walked back over to Twilight as she was regaining her composure.

"Portal is clear at the moment. We should go now while we have this chance."

"Wait. Are you sure you want to go back to Equestria? What about your life here?" asked Rainbow as they started running again.

"I'm a unicorn from Equestria. I have magic inside me. If I stay here, the Dazzlings will drain me just like they did you two, making their hold on the school permanent."

"Good point." said Twilight as they ran around the corner towards the statue. As they approached the portal, all three immediately stopped in their tracks. Walking out from behind the statue, the Dazzlings soon cut off their path to the portal.

"Ah ah ah!" said Adagio as she waved her finger towards Twilight. "Just where do you think you're going?"

"Get out of our way!" shouted Rainbow. "We're going back to Equestria!"

"And you think we're just going to stand aside and let you through?"

"Either you move or I'll make you move!"

Adagio then started laughing. "I'd like to see you try." she said as she tapped her jewel. Magical red rings began radiating off of it. Nothing seemed to happen though. Twilight and Sunset looked around with puzzled looks on their faces.

"Ha!" cried Rainbow. "Looks like whatever spell you did failed! Now back to business..."

Rainbow then started charging towards Adagio in a sprint. She was almost within a foot of Adagio when she got tackled to the ground by her Earthly counter part. Rainbow Dash struggled, but her hypnotized twin had just as much strength as she had. Soon, the rest of the hypnotized main 5 stood alongside the Dazzlings. Sunset's ears soon heard a loud noise coming from the school. Twilight could hear it as well. Both of them turned around towards the main doors of the school. Within seconds, a large crowd of hypnotized students came running through the doors, racing towards both of them like a zombie hoard chasing a small group of survivors.

As they turned to face the mob of students, Twilight and Sunset each had their arms instantly brought behind their backs. Twilight looked to see Applejack and Rarity keeping a firm hold on both of her arms, while Fluttershy and Pinkie Pie held Sunset's arms behind her. Slowly, they were forced to turn around and face the Dazzlings as the large crowd surrounded them. Sunset and Twilight struggled to break free, but their friends' grips were too strong.

"Now Twilight. Did you honestly think we were just going to let you go back to Equestria? Did you really believe that you could get away?" asked Adagio as she walked up to her. She slowly put her hand underneath Twilight's chin and made Twilight look into her eyes. "You put up a good fight. But I'm afraid it's game over for you." She then looked over at Sunset. "And now that I realize these rings had no effect on you at all, we now have double the supply of magic. Nothing can stop us now!" she cried out before laughing maniacally. She then looked over at the two Rainbow Dash's. The one under her control had just gotten the better of the other and was now holding her in place. "However...to show I'm not completely heartless..." she said while putting her arm around Twilight. "I am willing to let your friend over there return to Equestria."

"What?!" cried Rainbow. Adagio then glanced over at the mind controlled Rainbow. She gave a quick wink and soon, the two Rainbows were separated. Earth's Rainbow then walked over and joined Applejack and Rarity in making sure Twilight didn't make an attempt to break free. Equestria's Rainbow stood alone as Adagio turned her head back towards Twilight.

"Well Princess..." Adagio said. "The choice is yours. Are you willing to sacrifice yourself in order to grant your friend a journey home? Or are you going to let her be trapped here with you? " Twilight stood there, motionless and silent for a moment. Her eyes frozen as she stared at Rainbow. Soon, she lowered her head and closed her eyes.

"Rainbow..." Twilight slowly spoke. "Save yourself!"

"What?!" cried Rainbow again, this time with tears in her eyes. "Twilight, I can't just leave you and Sunset here like this!"

"I'd rather be drained of my magic knowing that you're back home in Equestria than have you be kept prisoner here with us." Twilight replied.

"Go on Rainbow." Sunset chimed in. "Get going now while you still can!"

"You guys..." Rainbow spoke softly as tears streamed down her face. "You're willing to do this for me?"

"Of course Rainbow." replied Twilight as she looked back up. "Thats what friends do. Tell our friends back in Equestria that I'll miss them!" she said before breaking down in tears. This sight pleased Adagio. She looked over and saw Sonata wiping tears out of her eyes. She coughed in Sonata's direction, making the blue siren jump. She then snapped her fingers as two hypnotized big guys stepped forward.

"Now, would you two be so kind as to show that rainbow haired girl over there the way out?" asked Adagio as she pointed at Rainbow Dash.

"YEAH!" shouted one of them.

"Eeyup." said the other as they both walked over and grabbed Rainbow Dash by her arms and legs. As they picked her up, Rainbow's backpack straps broke, allowing it to fall to the ground. Rainbow struggled as she was being held two feet in the air, face down towards the concrete.

"Let me go!" yelled Rainbow Dash. Adagio then smiled.

"You heard her boys." she said as Big Mac and Bulk Biceps swung Rainbow back and forth a few times before throwing her into the portal. As they both walked away, Sunset felt an idea race through her mind as the path between her, Twilight, and the statue was momentarily clear.

"Fluttershy, Pinkie Pie, I'm sorry." Sunset said with a sly look on her face.

"Sorry for what?" asked Fluttershy.

"For this!" cried Sunset as she knocked them down, breaking free from their grip. She then rushed over and speared Applejack, Rarity, and Rainbow at the same time. "Twilight, lets get out of here!" She yelled as she got up.

"Right!" cried Twilight as she and Sunset made a desperate run for the portal.

"Stop them!" shouted Adagio.


Back in Twilight's castle, Fluttershy was laying next to the mirror. She had just returned to the castle after checking on her animals. "Looks like everyone else is still busy with their things." she thought to herself. Applejack had to go back to Sweet Apple Acres to get started on Applebucking season. Rarity left to go check on her fashion boutique. And Pinkie Pie left to get some cupcakes for later on. All of them promised to come back to the portal later when they had a chance to.

Fluttershy was just about to close her eyes for a little nap when Rainbow Dash came flying out of the portal. She landed with a loud thud on the crystal floor. "Rainbow Dash! Are you ok? What happened?" cried Fluttershy as she flew over to help Rainbow up. She noticed Rainbow's eyes were red. "Were you crying Rainbow?"

"Twilight and Sunset sacrificed themselves in order to let me come back here." Rainbow said as she tried holding herself back from crying. As soon as she got up, the portal began buzzing with noise again. Rainbow and Fluttershy turned around to see the horns of Twilight and Sunset emerge from the portal. Then their heads and front hooves came through, but instead of walking out of the portal, they both fell to the floor with their flanks still inside the portal.


Aria and Sonata each tripped Twilight and Sunset as they entered the portal. Their legs were still in the human world as their upper bodies were in Equestria. "Nice try girls." Adagio said as they all grabbed Twilight and Sunset's legs.

"Twilight! Sunset!" cried Fluttershy.

"Quick!" Twilight cried out. "Grab our hooves! I can feel them pulling us back into the portal!" Rainbow and Fluttershy instantly grabbed Sunset and Twilight's hooves and started pulling with all they had.

"Someone's pulling them in!" cried Sonata as she felt Sunset's legs move further into the portal. Instinctively, she put her foot onto the statue to get better control. Because the Dazzlings had been banished, Sonata's foot didn't go through the portal. It only caused a rippling effect as she and the others pulled back.

"You two!" Adagio cried as she looked at Big Mac and Bulk Biceps. "Get over here and help us!"

"Eeyup." Big Mac said as he grabbed Twilight's legs.

"YEAH!" Bulk shouted as he grabbed Sunset's legs. With both of them, plus Aria and Sonata pulling as well, Twilight and Sunset started coming back into the human world. Adagio then stepped back as she let her arms regain their strength. Back in Ponyville, Fluttershy and Rainbow were struggling to keep Twilight and Sunset from going back through the portal.

"What in tarnation?" cried Applejack as she, Rarity, and Pinkie Pie stood at the door of the room. "Twilight!" she shouted as she saw what was going on. She and the others rushed over to the mirror. Applejack grabbed Rainbow Dash by her tail and started pulling. Rarity and Pinkie Pie grabbed Fluttershy's tail and started pulling as well. Eventually, Twilight and Sunset stopped moving. Both forces had neutralized the other from gaining any kind of momentum.

"Oww! My back!" Twilight cried out as she felt her spine being stretched in opposite directions. Sunset's eyes were watering as her body was wrapped in pain. Twilight tried teleporting out of the portal but since her entire body wasn't in Equestria, she couldn't use her magic at all.

"This has gone on long enough!" Adagio cried out. Wrapping her hands around her jewel, she sent a surge of magic rushing into it. She then pointed her arms into the sky as a red flame erupted from her jewel. When the flame dispersed, Adagio's siren form revealed itself. With her mind controlling the beast, Adagio let loose a scream as her siren did the same. Waves of sound surged towards the statue. Upon being hit, the statue started breaking apart.

An alarm started going off on Twilight's machine. "Oh no!" Twilight cried as she looked towards the machine. "The portal! It's about to be destroyed!"

"What do we do?" cried Rainbow. "We can't get you out!"

"Let us go then!" shouted Sunset. "If the portal is destroyed while we're still inside, who knows what could happen!"

"She's right!" shouted Twilight. "I'm sorry to say this, but let go!"

"But Twilight!" cried Applejack. "You'll be trapped in that world forever!" The alarm grew louder as the statue in the human world continued to fall apart.

"Its a sacrifice I'll have to make!" cried Twilight. She then looked over at Sunset. Both of them nodded in agreement. "Goodbye guys! Thank you for everything you've ever done for me!" she shouted with tears in her eyes as both she and Sunset let go of Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy. They both then were instantly pulled back through the portal.

"Twilight!!!" they all screamed in unison as the mirror started glowing bright.

"Take cover ya'll! She's about to blow!" cried Applejack. Everyone then ran for cover. Cracks could be seen streaking across the mirror as it suddenly exploded into small chunks of glass and stone.


Bulk and Big Mac dragged Twilight and Sunset out of the portal just as the entire statue crumbled after the onslaught of sound waves. Being brought to their feet, Twilight and Sunset no longer had the urge to resist. They knew they were trapped in this world forever now that the portal was destroyed. Adagio's siren form then returned into her jewel as she walked up to her prisoners. "How did you know I love it when they play hard to get?" she asked in a seductive voice. Both Twilight and Sunset remained silent with their eyes closed and heads down. "Playing the silent game now, are we?" asked Adagio as she held Twilight's head up by her chin. "Very well then. Have it your way."

"What should we do with them now?" asked Aria.

"Well, all that excitement has left me hungry for magic." Adagio replied. "How about we have ourselves some fun to relieve some tension from this."

"And what about this?" Aria asked as she held Rainbow Dash's backpack in her hand.

"Bring it along. I'm sure these two would love to have a reminder of their friend."

"Yay!" cried Sonata. "Now with both of them in our grasp, and the portal destroyed, no one will be able to stop us from taking over the world!" she said before breaking out in an evil laugh. Adagio and Aria looked at her with surprised looks on their faces. "What?" asked Sonata. "I can't have an evil moment?"

"You're finally learning, Sonata." said Adagio as she put her arm around the blue siren. "Just for that, when we get to the special room, I'll let you have your pick of who you want."

"Yay!" shouted Sonata as they followed Twlight and Sunset being dragged inside by their hypnotized friends.
