Balance Must Be Restored

It was still in the evening. It was then Double Rainbow’s energy, soul, magic, and power entered me. It was Double Rainbow’s spirit, the good karma from his life, and the evil energy from his zombie life. I was changing. My body was in a process of transformation with a rainbow of colors shinning from me. There is a swirl of rainbow energy that engulfed me drowning me like water. With a rainbow flash, Rainbow Moon had appeared.

Rainbow Moon exclaimed diabolically laughing, “I return!”

Night Wish exclaimed, “Nnnnnnnnoooooooooo!”

Rainbow Moon was a black alicorn, with rainbow colored mane and tail with blue eyes and hooves. His cutie mark was a full moon encircled by a rainbow (red on the outside, purple next to the moon). His magic was symbolized by rainbow energy, including his attacks and defenses. Rainbow Moon was still Rainbow Heart, but he was now Double Rainbow fueled. Rainbow Moon used to have wings, but they were removed against his will.

Rainbow Moon had awoken.

I, Rainbow Moon, was resurrected. I stretched out.

“What a ride.” I stated. Looking around my neck, I said, “Ah! The coveted Element of Tragedy. It’s mine now.” Looking at the saddle, I stated, “It’s Double Rainbow’s Knife, perfect.”

My attention turned to Night Wish. I had no idea that Forest Savior and Outback were listening in from outside of The Rainbow Spa.

I used magic and braced Night Wish against a wall.

I barked walking up to her, “You made me cut off my own wing, after you severed the other one.”

Night Wish shot back, “You deserved it.” Night Wish chided, “You look hideous without your wings.”

I said to Night Wish striking a pose, “Bitch, I’m fabulous.” I further added, “Lucky for you, I need you alive.” After a brief pause, I stated, “Balance Must Be Restored.”

Night Wish was struggling against the rainbow aura of my magic.

“What are you going to do?” Night Wish asked.

I chuckled and said, “First stop Ponytopia to get my belongings, then to Ponytown for some aesthetic improvements, and then to The Temple of Idiots to save my lover. And you get to come too. It will be so much fun.”

Using magic I secured Night Wish’s hooves together binding them with rainbow chains, straps, and shackles. With a rainbow flash we were in Rainbow Heart’s House in Ponytopia. On the wall, hanging for display was the rug. The special rug had a yin and yang symbol in the center of it with other magical ornamental designs on it, it was a gift from Rainbow Heart to Double Rainbow, his ex significant other. Before me was the yin and yang rug all bloody and torn. I took off Rainbow Heart’s rainbow saddle and put it on the horse saddle display rack in the room. I used magic on the rug. The rug transformed into my armor and mounted on my body.

My blue armor consisted of a helmet, chest, and hoof plates. But on the heart shaped chest plate was a yin and yang symbol with a sun on the left white side and a moon on the right black side for dots and the yin and yang circular symbol was surrounded by a round rainbow like my full moon cutie mark. I removed Double Rainbow’s Knife from the rainbow saddle and secured the sheath to my armor.

I looked outside the den window. There was nothing but the sight and stench of death.

I stated, “I sense no pony is alive out there. Looks like no ponies apparently survived the madness spell cast on Ponytopia. They are all dead, the town is wiped out.”

The thought brought Night Wish to tears. They had failed.

In the flash of a rainbow, Night Wish and I were teleported to Ponytown, my machine village and castle.

Ponytown was created by me. It had its own castle, The Machine Castle. Rainbow Moon’s Lair as it was called by the alicorns was my castle. It was a highly mechanized town with traps set all over. Some of it looked like rusty metal with gears and was highly mechanical. Some of the parts were old and rusty, some of the pieces were brand new, and all of the components were working together as a whole. There was barbed wire all over. It was created by magic by Rainbow Moon. In my machine castle there were deadly traps. Large piston, cylindrical like traps smashing up to the ceiling and others crushing down into the ground on a rhythmic flow, specifically synchronized. Besides the pistons were, large circular saw blades, chainsaw like blades, razor blades, axe like blades designed to chop, rectangular crushing metal blocks in a machine like design to squash ponies besides the cylinders, and large knife blades designed to slaughter anypony unwelcome into my castle, The Machine Castle. The town was fueled by my dark energy. There were many other traps, technically, the palace was one large trap with all sorts of blade traps. I designed the castle with my own spa and fashion design rooms. There were also ponnequins (mannequins), various dress forms, different models of pony anatomy, massage tables, massage chairs, sewing machines, and all the other equipment and items needed for my personal pleasures and passions. I had planned to turn this machine city into a location on the map of Equestria, named Ponytown. The town was built with the intent of becoming fully populated with the Elements of Disharmony bearers living here. They would draw all the dark ponies here to study and use their gifts, their talents for good, relatively-speaking. That was still my wish, but it seemed unlikely it would happen.

I transported directly into my workshop. Night Wish was tied up and laying on the floor unable to move still. I constructed metal wings for myself relatively quickly, using Double Rainbow’s engineering expertise and powerful magic. I secured it around my abdomen by a belt. I gave it a quick test run. The wings flapped normally, but since they weren’t biological, they were a little bit slower than the real things. They also lacked maneuverability as well, but they would work, for now, until I could find a spell to bring back my severed wings.

I looked at Night Wish and stated, “Who’s ready to slay some cult members? I know I am. I, being their God, know that it is my duty to save them from the evils of Equestria. The best way to do that is with their deaths.”

I let out an evil chuckle. In the flash of a rainbow we transported to The Temple of Starlight, or as it was known by The Order of Rainbow Moon, The Temple of Rainbow Moon.
