She's Not Happy!

"WHERE IS SHE!!!!!!!!" Twilight screamed as Celestia dodged yet another massive magic bolt from her. When Celestia told Twilight what happened to Nyx, you could hear her rage from Ponyville. Now Twilight was trying to beat the Tartarus out of Celestia. The two passed near the Astronomy Tower when Twilight got a good hit on Celestia, blasting her through the roof, where Twilight's friends, her husband Flash, as well as Cadance and Shining, were at. While Cadance's and Shining's manes mainly stayed the same, Twilight's friend's had change. Rainbow's was slightly less ruffled, yet grew longer, down to her back. Applejack's ponytail was longer, as was Rarity's mane. Fluttershy and Pinkie Pie also remained unchanged. Spike had tripled in size, his head thorns growing down his back, tail quadruple in length, as sporting a large set of wings. Twilight's mane also grew, and she also had her tail in a knot.

But currently you couldn't tell what she looked like, because the night sky was ablaze with Twilight's red hot fury. She slammed to the Tower floor, with murder in her eyes. She charged at Celestia, but Flash moved in front of her, causing both to crash into the books along the wall.

"Twilight," Flash yelled as he tried to body grab his wife, attempting to contain her rage, "ENOUGH!" He head butted her head, which calmed her near instantly. Works every time, he thought. With Twilight slightly calmed down, he let go of her. But the moment she stood up, she lunged at Celestia. Lucky for both of them, Jack and Dash were there to hold her back. After that, she just stopped trying.

"WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU DON'T KNOW WHERE SHE IS!!!" Twilight screamed in her own Royal Voice.

"Her Harmonic Energy is still there, but it's too far out of range to be able to pinpoint an exact location." Celestia replied.

"Then use the teleportation spell to get her back here!"

"It's not that simple, Twilight! We can easily teleport over too her, but without any idea what condition she's in, we can't risk sending a rescue team."

"Then let us go!" Rainbow yelled, "We got the Rainbow Power for any trouble she might be in."

"You know we can't send in our country's greatest assets first!" Flash replied, "Remember what happened to Luna?!"

Everyone was silent, but it didn't last long, as Twilight's eyes watered up, then tears started flowing. She began loudly sobbing as she collapsed to the floor.

"You're lucky Abyss ain't here, Sugarcube," Applejack whispered to Flash, "'Cause he wouda chucked ya out the window for sayin that."

"I'm 47 years old," Twilight pleaded in between sobs, "In less than a week Nyx will be 28. I lost my parents two years ago. We lost Luna. Sooner or later, I'll lose my friends, my brother, even you, my dear husband. I can't live if I lose her, too?" Flash then moved to his wife, and knelt down to her. She gave him a bear hug, still sobbing.

"It'll be alright, hunny," Flash said, so low it was barely above a whisper, "We just need to send somepony who's good, but not important to the survival of Equestria."

"Yeah," Twilight said, wiping some tears off, "Somepony who's good at any situation, be it technical, combat, or diplomatic, but also can adjust to unfamiliar situations. Somepony like~~"

"NOT HIM!!" Shining yelled.

"Shining," Celestia retorted, "You have to admit that he's the best one for the job."

"After what he did, siding with that monster!"

"We've already forgiven him, Shining. On top of that, Nyx really likes him."

"We haven't pardoned him for his crimes, and that's not the worst. He's a bad influence on her."

"Right now, bad influence doesn't matter if the pony isn't alive to have influence."

"And," Twilight exclaimed as she stood up, and walked toward Shining, to the point that he was making him kneel down, so that she was towering over him, "If we don't find somepony to do it, I'll have to take my ANGER OUT ON SOMEPONY!!!!"

.....

Shining backed off.

"Rainbow Dash," Celestia exclaimed, "Head to the Southern Mareibean Seas, find the pirate ship Leviathan, and it's captain, Pipsqueak"


Author's Note

Abyss is my own OC.

Also, i didn't expect the contest to be like this, but it's a tie. Here are the apparent two winners.

Nara'Zorha vas Neema------theshadowofdraco
Race---Quarian
Gender---Female
Age---23
Class---Infiltrator
Weapons---Widow Sniper Rifle and Avenger Assault Rifle, Electric Blade
Skills---Cloak, Shadow Strike, Shield Drain, Geth Hunter Mode.
Extra---Has built in body armor stabilizers to absorb heavy impact objects, such as the Widow's firing recoil. Her father also had her helmet input with an AI, secretly, to assist her, giving her some of the tactics that Geth can usually see.

Sisor'Manis vas Likor-------LoneShadow
Race---Quarian
Age---23
Gender---Female
Class---Sentinel
Weapons---Mattock Assault Rifle and Incisor Sniper Rifle, Omni-Gauntlet
Skills----Tech Armor, Attack Drone, Devastator Mode, Havoc Strike
Extras---Has built in movement rockets to assist in various situations. Think of those Turians that had the rockets on their backs in ME3 multiplayer. The Omni-Gauntlet can deliver massive melee damage, capable of rendering unprotected targets unconscious. She can also charge it up, to deliver a massive attack, which can stop a charging krogan. However, each attack drains it's battery, which takes time to recharge automatically. Normal attacks drain 10% each hit, while the super hit drain's all of it.

Congrats, and now I'll have to write one hell of a long chapter to introduce both of them.

Now for the next competition. Nyx will encounter her second and third teammates on the same planet, Noveria. The second one she'll meet at the space port, and he/she is trying to kill the third one, located as Peak 15. The third one will end up having to fight Nyx, initially, but will join her team after the job on the planet is done. This is all during the same time Shepard is also on Noveria.

REMEMBER THIS, I give extra points if you get creative, such as picking a Vorcha when you could've picked a krogan. You can also send in up to three choice of OCs. So get CREATIVE, DAMN IT!

Guidelines for the second companion: it cannot be a Turian, Human, Quarian, or Krogan, and you must give a reason for why they want to kill the third teammates. They also cannot have the class type of soldier, sentinal, or adept.

Guidelines for the third companion: it has to be either a krogan, batarian, or vorcha. They must have a reason for being on Noveria(most obvious, and most likely to not loss points is that they are working for Saren, or Benezia, but if you've got a different idea, that also has reasoning to back it up, go for it). The class type also cannot be infiltrator, engineer, or vanguard.

Any OCs that you wish to make must also have a basic background history. One paragraph (seven sentences would be appropriate) should suffice. Send me a personal message of any OCs that you want me to use. Send each one individually.
