The Madness Returns (Going to be rewritten)

*Madness P.O.V*

This went on for 2 months, Spike giving Shadow 3 magic books for help, me taking note on spells, his workers working on the portal, & one of them getting  killed every week or so. I grew more & more impatient everyday, until I couldn't take it anymore, then I called Shadow in.

Shadow came from the shadows, behind Madness, then said, "What do you want me to do, sir?"4

I turned toward him, & said, "I want you to pick up some very special guest for me."

*Spike's P.O.V*

I was grabbing books off the shelves for tonight, to give to Shadow, then I heard Twilight say, "Spike, What are you doing?"

I hid the book, that I was holding, behind my back, then said, "Oh nothing, just looking at the books."

Twilight walked up to me, until she was around 6 inches away from me, then said, "Did you know that books have been going missing in the last 2 months?

I lean onto the bookshelf, & placed the book back, then said, trying to sound innocent, "Really, I didn't know that."

Twilight went to a seat, sat down, then said, "So, to catch the thief, I'm going to watch the library tonight."

I gulped, quiet enough for Twilight not to hear, then said, "Oh, I'm just remembered that I need to do something."  Then I walked out of the library.

That night, I met Shadow, Shadow looked at me, saw I was empty handed, then said, "Where are the books?"

I said, while scratching the back of my head, "Well, you see Shadow, I need your help. Twilight is guarding the books.

Shadow sighed, then said, "You want me to knock her out, fine, but the payment is double."

I lead Shadow to Twilight's library, while listening to a strange clanking noise. Once we got there, I opened the door, a crack, & urged him to look in. There, on the other side of the library, was Twilight, watching the door. I went to look at Shadow, but he was gone. I looked around for him, then I saw a dark shadow slithering towards Twilight. The shadow went behind Twilight, then I realized that the shadow was Shadow. He started rising out of the ground, holding a needle, & jabbed it into her neck. I watched, in horror, as Twilight gasped, her eyes grew wide, then she collapsed onto the floor. I burst into the room, & said, while running to Twilight's side, "Oh my god, Twilight."

Shadow came up behind me, & said, "Oh relax, she's just sleeping. She'll be asleep for a few hours, now go get the books."

I stood up & said, "No."

Shadow said, as it looked like shadows were growing around him, "No, did you just tell me no?"

I backed up a little, then I said, "I said no. I wanted you to knock her out, not drug her & risk an overdose."

Shadow rushed towards me, even faster than Rainbow Dash running, grabbed me by the throat, & held me against a bookshelf. I looked down, & tried to scream. The leg, that was holding him was metal. When the moon shown it's light, I saw what Shadow looks like. He had black skin, red snake-like eyes, metal dragon wings, both front leg were made of metal, & with a closer look, the skin was covered with scale. He squeezed my neck a little tighter, then he said, "No one breaks a deal with me."

I said, while trying to breath, "What are you?"

Shadow threw me, I landed near Twilight, then he said, "A hybrid. Half pony, half dragon, & an outcast for both, Now get those books, or I will kill Twilight

After getting my breath, I ran to get the books.

*3rd P.O.V, at Twilight's castle*

As spike was getting the books, Shadow sent a message to Madness saying, "It's all going  as to planned, & it's here"

*Crystal empire*

Cadence woke up to a loud thump. She got out of bed, ran to the other side & found Shining Armor, knocked out cold. Then she turned around to see Twilight right behind her. She sighed & said, "Twilight, thank goodness, help me with... Uh Twilight, what's wrong with your eyes?" Then Twilight brought down a hoof onto her head, knocking her out instantly.

Shadow appeared right beside Twilight. He whistled, said, "wow remind me not to get on  you side." Then he picked up Cadence & threw her onto his back.

*Canterlot*

Celestia woke up to Luna standing over her. She sighed, then said, "Really Madness, you don't have to control Luna. A message would do. Fine, I'm coming."

As she was about to leave the room, she heard Luna say, "Bring her along."

Celestia turned around & said, "What did you say, Madness?"

Luna said, "Bring Luna along." Then Luna collapsed.

Celestia bowed down & levitated Luna onto her back. She walked out the front door, & saw a carriage, with Cadence inside, being pulled by a dark figure. She walked up, & said, "I take it you're here to take us to Madness."

He nodded, then said, "My name is Shadow, & yes, I'm here to take you, Luna, & Cadence to Madness." Then he opened the door, & helped Celestia with Luna. Then Celestia got in & closed the door behind her.

*The Factory*

A half hour later, they were at The Factory. As soon as they landed, Cadence woke up screaming, which woke up Luna, "Something is wrong with Twilight. Uh where are we?"

Then a voice, came from outside, said, "You're at The Factory, & be on your best behavior, I don't want to have to clean my self again."

Cadence climbed out of the carriage, walked up to Shadow, then said, "Who do you think you are, talking to me like that. Do you know who I am?"

Shadow turned to Cadence, & said, sarcastically, "You're Princess Mi Amore Cadenza, but you prefer Cadence. You rule & married with Shining Armor, Twilight's big brother. Now did I forget something? Oh yes, a little more than a half hour ago, you were knocked out by Twilight."

Just before Cadence & Shadow got into a fight, Madness came out & said, "Shadow that's enough, please excuse him. He hated ponies ever since his mom ripped off his front legs & wings. Come, follow me."

The three princesses followed him into the factory. a few minute later, Celestia walked to Madness' side & whispered, in his ear, "why did you want Cadence & Luna here?"

Madness said, he looked at Celestia without turning his head, "I thought you were smart, you all are my prisoners."

Celestia stopped to let it sink in, then turned around & said, while running, "Come on, we got to go."
