(Me and Rainbow were sparing. Our blows clashed and our hooved met in combat. Normally, we wouldn’t do this, but this is sparing, not dueling. As we fired lightning at each other, we charged again and clashed with strikes of unseeable speed. To finish our sparing lesson, we fired lightning bolts at each other, which just exploded against our strikes. We stopped and heard clapping. We looked and see Sky and Jerome clapping at our performance.)
“Hey guys and thanks for the applauds.”
Sky: “You 2 were AWESOME!! Those attacks clashed and everything!”
Jerome: “It’s even better than the Hunger Games when me and Mitch work together.”
Rainbow: “Speaking of which, where are the others?”
Sky: “Bash is at the watermelon garden, protecting it from others. Bajan and Deadlox are inside, playing video games again. Mudkip is swimming again while Ssundee is trying to get ice cream from Bodil and Zexyzek.”
“Good luck Ssundee for that.”
Jerome: “Oh, and Tyler is upstairs with Vanoss and Delicious.”
???: “Vanoss, get back here!”
Vanoss: “No, catch me if you can!”
(We see Vanoss coming down stairs and he was running away from a pony with a ski mask on and a pony with glasses.)
“Hey, no running!”
Delicious: “Tell Vanoss that!”
“Alright everypony, stop!”
(Everyone stopped and looked at me. Suddenly, a scroll appeared in front of me. Luna’s CM as on it. I opened it and began to read aloud.)
Dear Danny Eclipse,
I hope you are having a good time training. Not much has happened here but I will have to cut this short. Listen, King Sombra has returned and so has the long lost Crystal Empire-
Rainbow: “Crystal Empire?”
“That was the 3rd greatest world power. However, after the Crystal War ended and King Sombra dethroned, the empire and him vanished without a trace. So, with Sombra back, the empire must have raised back as well. Anyway-“
-so I want you and your “companion” to go there immediately. Tia has already send Twilight and her friends there to stop King Sombra at all costs. Twilight believe this is a test and it is but whatever you do, DO NOT INTERRUPT TWILIGHT’S TEST!!! So, you may go there to provide backup and support for the other Mane 6. Rainbow will be happy to see you again, no doubt. Also, I managed to convince Tia that with you gone and training to master the true form of the Vampony, you can keep your Vampony side. So, please stay with us this time. I so want to talk to you in person. So, I’ll be seeing you soon.
Love,
Princess Luna, co-ruler of Equestria and Lunar Princess
(Me and Rainbow couldn’t help but snicker at the “Rainbow will be happy to see you again” part. While me and the real Rainbow have been training, the clone has been watching the events at Ponyville to keep the Mane 6 from getting lonely. I put the scroll into my backpack and looked ready to go.)
“Rainbow, everypony, we are going to the Crystal Empire.”
Sky: “We want to come with you!”
“But Sky-“
Jerome: “No, he’s right! No friend of ours is going to save an Empire alone!”
Deadlox: “You know, it could be fun.”
Bashur: “I’m coming with you!”
“Everypony…. Thank you.”
(Later…)
(The nightmare express stopped at the Crystal Empire train station and we got off. The train turned into a statue toy and I put it into my backpack. We began to walk to the distant city surrounded by a shield. On the way there, I felt something snap inside my head. I began to glance around but saw nothing. Rainbow noticed me glancing around.)
Rainbow: “What is it?”
“For some odd reason, I thought I felt a…. familiar presence, nearby. I can’t explain it….”
Rainbow: “We should keep going.”
(I nod and we began to walk closer. Suddenly, we heard a distant roar and I turned around.)
“Get into the shield! He’s coming!”
(They all nodded and began to charge to the shielded city. I see a black cloud approaching and I saw a face there. Sombra’s ethereal face. I followed from behind and just as Sombra was about to attack, something inside flickered and a Black Crystal rose to protect me. Sombra was taken back to see the crystal and knew he didn’t do it. He looked at me and was surprised that I did such a feat. I glared at my hooves.)
‘Revan, was that you?’
Revan: “No, that wasn’t me.”
‘Eclipse-‘
Eclipse: “I only have Vampire Powers.”
‘Then how-‘
(Sombra roared again and charged. I fired a Super Ghost Ray at him, which made him scatter this smoke. I took advantage of this and dashed to the shielded city. I glance behind and see Sombra making a leap towards me. Suddenly, my eyes turned sombra-like and I turned to look at him. Sombra stopped in shock to see this.)
Sombra: “Impossible!”
“I am Danny Eclipse, Son of Princess Luna or otherwise known as Nightmare Moon! I will not be imitated by a fallen king!”
(I unleashed a Dark Magic Blast, which sent him back a few feet. I began to retreat into the city and made it inside. Sombra withdraw.)
Sombra: ‘So, my son is here…’
(My eyes returned to normal and I was panting a bit.)
‘Revan…’
Revan: “I swear, I didn’t do that! You would have been alerted if I was taking over!”
‘But then… What caused me to act like that?’
Rainbow: “Danny!”
(Rainbow hugs me and I hug back. After the hugging ended, I looked at the others were sighing, the worry was over.)
“Alright, we are inside. Now, all we need to do is find the others.”
Rainbow: “They are already in the castle. Why not pay them a visit?”
“I would love to see the shock on their faces.” (I grin as I said that.)
(Rainbow grinned as well. We took off to the castle, but deep inside my mind, I was wondering why I suddenly turned like that if it wasn’t me or Revan.)
(The others were talking to Cadance who was having a hard time keeping the shield up. Suddenly, Rainbow felt her original’s presence nearby and cried out in cheering. The others looked at her as she landed and looked towards the door.)
Rainbow Clone: “It took you long enough!”
???: “We had to train Dash, you knew that.”
(The others gasp as I walked into the room with another Rainbow. The clone turned white as she fused with the original Rainbow. Rainbow was smirking as her Blood Red eyes were revealed as were mine. The rest of my team came inside and were looking all around the castle.)
Sky: “Oh my Celestia, this is SOO big! It’s a wonder why we didn’t get lost!”
“You know, now you think about it, how come I knew where I was going?”
Bashur: “It doesn’t matter now, does it?”
“Yeah…”
Rainbow: “Oh, come on dear. There is no need to be concern about the knowledge about this place.”
“I guess you’re right, my love.”
(Me and Rainbow nuzzled each other, which just shocked everyone even more.)
Rarity: “Rainbow, are you and Danny…”
Rainbow: “Not for real, but we are mated under Vampony traditions.”
Twilight: “Danny! Why didn’t you tell your sister that you were mated with another Vampony!?”
“Well, we didn’t have time to talk with Celestia going to take my Vampony side. Besides, Rainbow chose to become a Vampony Pureblood on her own account. I didn’t force her, she made her own mind.”
Rainbow: “And I chose to accept his love and care.”
(We nuzzled again, making a lot of “aww”s from the other girls. Cadance could feel the massive amount of love being emitted from me and Rainbow as we nuzzled.)
Cadance: ‘They really do love each other.’
Pinkie: “Hey Rainbow, Danny! Who are your new friends?”
(We stop nuzzling and smirk at the question.)
“Introducing Team Crafted! Sky or Adam, Leader of the Team and leader of the Sky Army.”
Twilight: “Sky Army?”
Sky: “We are am army of ponies who are well dedicated to fighting against all evil beings who dare try to take over PonyCraft. We are currently at a fierce conflict with the Squids!”
(The Mane 6, Cadance, and Shining Armor looked at him like he was insane.)
“Believe it or not, he’s actually telling the truth.”
Rainbow: “I should know. They tried to kidnap me on more than 3 separate occasions.”
“I killed them off. They REALLY are getting more intelligent by the day.”
Sky: “Anyways… Even in our conflict with them, we shall fight without retreat. The Squids will NEVER take over PonyCraft!”
(The team cheered and I continued.)
“The next one is Deadlox. Deadlox is Sky’s right hand pony and he’s good at giving up and playing music.”
Deadlox: “I am not a giving up type.”
Rainbow: “Oh sure Deadlox… Hey Danny, remember that one video he and Sky made.”
“Was it like… “3. 2. 1.” Then there was total silence with a hint of chuckle and then he just says “I quit” and Sky and the others broke into a laughter while he walks out the door?”
Deadlox: “….I hate you.”
“I know you do Ty. Anyway, next up is Jerome! Heir to the Bacca Clan, who are the mightiest of warriors and has even won multiple Hunger Games matches with Mitch on his side!”
Jerome: “Hi everypony.”
(Rarity gave out a cried in shock.)
Rarity: “Oh my Celestia, what happened to your coat?”
Jerome: “What’s wrong with it? I was born like this.”
(Rarity pulled out some scissor to cut his over fur coat but Jerome grabbed his Golden Axe and destroyed the scissors.)
Jerome: “I like the way I am!”
(Before Rarity could protest, I interrupted her.) “Rarity, just don’t. Trust me, Fluffy won’t forgive you for that.”
Rarity: “Fluffy?”
Jerome: “It’s the nickname my friends gave me because of my fur.”
“Anyways, next is BajanCanadian or Mitch. Mitch is best friends with Jerome as they fight in the Hunger Games together. And, they are weapon experts. While Jerome carries a Battle Axe-“
Sky: “Budder Axe.”
“-Yes, a Budder Axe. Anyway, while Jerome carries that weapon, Mitch carries a Diamond Axe named Betty.”
Mitch: “Hello everypony.”
“Next up is Bashur! He is, in fact, a Watermelon Pony to confirm that. He so happens to be the Melon King, so don’t eat Watermelons in front of him or he won’t forgive you for that. His dog, by the way, is Pewface. Don’t ask me why his name is called that, I don’t know why Bashur called him that.”
Fluttershy: “Why did you call him “Pewface” Bashur?”
???: “Because he couldn’t think of another name.”
(Everyone but the team looked round for the mysterious voice but then they noticed we were looking at Pewface.)
Bashur: “Not true!”
Pewface: “True indeed!”
(Everyone, but the team, gasped in shock to see a dog talking.)
Twilight: “That dog can talk!?”
Pewface: “Oh course I can talk! What were you expecting?”
Fluttershy: “Oh, we didn’t know…”
Pewface: “Pay no mind to it ma’am.”
Bashur: “Whatever! You don’t be nice to me anyway.”
“Anyways… Next is Zexyzek and Bodil! Both of these 2 are trollers to others.”
Rarity: “Danny, aren’t you-“
Zexyzek: “No, we aren’t the species “Troll” but we are pranksters.”
“So, watch your step from here on out.”
Bodil: “Because if you don’t, we will get you good!”
“Moving on… Next is Munchingbrotato or Tyler.”
Tyler: “Hello everypony.”
“Hey Janet, show them the voice.”
Rarity: “Who’s-“
Tyler: (Old Lady’s voice) “Welcome to Janet’s Daycare everypony.”
(Everyone on the team burst into laughter. The others giggled, trying not to laugh too hard.)
"This is Ssundee, or Sundee for short. He's a good baker but if he loses his glasses, he will become a out-of-control pony who is plainly insane."
(Everypony nods in understanding.)
“Ok, besides that. This is Vanoss and Delicious. These 2 are troublemakers and swear a lot.”
Delicious: “Hello every-“
(We heard a beeping and stood clear. Delicious blew up from behind.)
Delicious: “You B***ch!”
Vanoss: (Laughing) “Sorry, couldn’t help myself.”
(Suddenly, Delicious healed instantly and got back up. The others gasp as they see him heal so fast.)
“Forgot to mention. SkyCraft is a distant land where ponies can hurt or kill others but they instant heal. The same could be complied to the ponies from the Gmod Dimension. So, Team Craft, Vanoss, and Delicious can’t die because of this.”
(They nodded in understanding.)
“Ok, so what’s happening since we left?”
Twilight: “Nothing much. Just some stuff happened all of a sudden…”
