"Its a big plan Eclipse, it would be quite hard if Grim and Comet can spy on us if they really did catch us. But are you sure this will work?" Twilight said hoping for things to just go ahead and go back to normal, but without taking action things can still go to this way... dead and un-buried.

The girls around him once again restrained Eclipse; he closed his eyes and thought about being what a good Taraxippus would be, instead of vanishing forever.

"I can still feel Grim's presence here... closer and closer" Eclipse said he begins to feel stronger.

"Yes, according to plan yes" Eclipse said.

"SH! I think I can hear them!" Fluttershy said softly.

Everyone stood into place, and heard some whispers getting louder and closer.

"I'm telling you once again! Time is not important! Don't I have to do everything while you boys just slack off and leave me doing the job again? NO! I was trapped ever since the first century! And what? This is what I get for being a father to you boys" Flash Sentry said, and soon Twilight reacted when she heard his voice, she must save him, she has to, she needs to... Twilight began to walk up but Applejack stopped her in place.

"They are here" Eclipse whispered to everyone, while his wounds started to heal rapidly.

Comet, Grim and Flash took a right turn and stopped to see the girls and Eclipse in complete darkness.

Flash looked at Comet and Grim, "I thought you said you couldn't find him, did you boys look in every room? OF COURSE YOU DIDN'T YOU STUPID BASTARDS!" Flash yelled at Grim and Comet, while Flash's eyes turned black and looked at the girls and Eclipse.

"Well, well...well... its judgment day everyone! Time is up to the essence and nothing to spare, being held captive is one way to free the other innocent, but... I'm afraid its too late girls! Nothing will get out alive” Everyone gasped, now learning they found a new way to transform Sunset Shimmer into her she-demon again.

Eclipse smirked and closed his eyes, half sad and half happy like he knows what he is doing

. "I just can't believe it, believing that you can save your friend from a shadow within? Everyone has a shadow, and by that... that shadow is always the other side to be our demons. So what? Being all happy on one side of a light, but it doesn't stay the same from casting a shadow" Flash begins to laugh, "and guess what? The candle is about to blow out to endless darkness. Sweet dreams... my children" Flash said and came close to the girls, with Grim and Comet by his side.

Twilight saw her eyes flash to red, and shook like a lightning struck through her she closed her eyes and couldn't stop shaking the feeling but to fight back with dark magic against dark magic.

"I thought I killed Applejack...and Rarity... well... I can't wait to play with my prey once again" Grim said getting close to the two girls he once fought with before, Applejack and Rarity hugged and shook with fear and backed away from them.

Flash came turns Twilight and grabbed her by the wrist, "a war is about to come princess, better start running" Flash said, but Twilight was still shaking as if something is overshadowing her.

"Get away from me..." Twilight said her voice didn't seem to sound like her; her voice was fluctuating up and down.

"Make me" Flash said Twilight turned around to see that everyone was finally running away, while leaving Twilight behind with the man in charge and the two brothers, they smiled.

Flash punched Twilight in the cheek and slid a foot under her feet and she fell down, "no mercy, sweetheart" Flash said again and began punch her like boxing bag.

The whole building shook as if it’s flying in the air, and soon a growl was heard around the school. Flash stopped fighting against Twilight, while Grim and Comet held her arms.

"My beautiful wife finally awakens, my queen" Flash said smiling and walked away from Grim and Comet along with beaten up Twilight Sparkle.

"What about the princess Dad?" Comet asked Flash, "leave her" Flash said, Grim and Comet dropped Twilight down to the ground and ran towards the opposite way where her friends ran away from.

"AHH!" Flash begins to feel pain his in his head and his mind, that somehow the real Flash is trying to escape his internal conflict to have a final

battle on the inside, but he is still loosing.

"You mindless monster! Never talk to my girl like that! Never do that to her! I WILL KILL YOU!" Flash was screaming his own head off, Requiem dropped to the ground and felt like Flash is punching his own intestines and his own body to damage not only himself but his own demon that took over him.

"Shut up!" Requiem said while he screamed, "NEVER!" Flash said still on the verge to keep on fighting, his love for Twilight somehow made Flash stronger on the inside.

"Not if I can still kill you my puppet, so shut up bitch!" Requiem said angered.

"Dad? Is Flash still messing with you?" Grim asked Requiem helping him up from the ground, Grim was worried if the plan is at stake.

"Yes... at least give me a punch, that might shut him up" Requiem said shaking with internal pain, and still standing.

"To the face?" Comet asked Requiem and he nodded, "whatever you say. Dad" Comet and Grim gave Requiem a double punch and seems to have knocked out Flash on the inside, and Requiem on the outside.

Twilight was just trying to stand up and find her friends, she was confused, and it felt like they were only after her but not her friends. All because Twilight is a dimensional key, a fate. Its true... its all true... Eclipse was right, and for some reason she finally got the answer of why Eclipse killed Rarity. They are planning to kill two keys, and raise the dark key. Twilight was crawling on the ground while trying to find her friends, some of her friends are terrified and must has regretted to leave her behind. Twilight layed down on the ground, her mind begins to black out once again but somehow she is still fighting to stay alive.

"I feel bad for leaving Twilight behind" said Rarity, in which her voice is fading away.

"They almost killed her" Spike said, placing a paw on her right arm.

"I couldn't believe it... I don't know how they found another way to work the transformation, it doesn't make sense..." Eclipse said he slowly put an arm under her knees and her back.

"So what do we do now?" Fluttershy asked anyone, hoping for a good answer.

"Not we... what do I do now? Is that the correct answer?” Eclipse said.

"Are you saying it’s your choice?" Celestia asked Eclipse, unsure if it is the right thing to do.

"They don't know that I am a traitor, and it’s my only option left. Once a Taraxippus betrays the family and fights them... a war will still continue but ends the power to rule. It is my only option left... and this time I am on my own. Forever" Eclipse said Fluttershy walked up in front of Eclipse and placed a hand on his cheek. "At least you will never be alone to fight, we can still help. Please..." Fluttershy said, Eclipse closed his eyes and gave Celestia, Twilight in her arms.

Eclipse removed Fluttershy's hand, "sorry Fluttershy... but its already too late" Eclipse said, and soon Fluttershy kissed Eclipse's cheek which made him blush.

"Please... living is what makes us decide our lives and our fates... no matter what... no one is alone in a fight especially if its too late" Fluttershy said, in which makes Eclipse wonder... what if it isn't too late for everything?

Eclipse looked at everyone... "Just wish as if I never met you girls... and I'm very sorry" Eclipse said he walked past Fluttershy and stood still.

"For what?" Luna asked Eclipse, and in a matter of seconds, Eclipse used some of his dark magic to everyone the dark magic found its way in the girls’ hearts and souls and soon, they screamed as if they are seeing their worst fears and their bad nightmares. All except Twilight Sparkle, and Spike under her arms.

Eclipse fell down to one knee to spread his magic while the girls begins to feel weak.

"This is the only way for you girls to try to stop me, I'm finally putting an end to this. Once and for all" Eclipse said and soon stood up and walked away.

"Twilight, wake up! Twilight!" Spike begged as he nosed her left hand.

Spike doesn't know what to do, Eclipse casted a spell on the girls, and he's afraid if he fights Eclipse all by himself, Twilight is unconscious and not responding to him.

"What am I supposed to do?" Spike whispered and layed down next to Twilight, then he remembered, he knows what to do. After all, Spike is a dog and there is one way of what to do, but how can he make sure the girls are going to be safe? They are not safe anymore, so Spike cannot protect all of them... "Think Spike, think... where would I go if I was a good ghost?" Spike begins to think big, and then he found himself running towards something, in which he seems to have a plan.

"I've got to find the good spirits, they know what to do" Spike said and ran everywhere in search for the good spirits.

"I'm surprised Eclipse, you took out all of the mane six girls including the principles" Grim said he put an arm on Eclipse's shoulder while Comet carries Flash Sentry on his back.

"Yep, so when is dad going to be awake? I have to... talk to him in private soon" Eclipse said Grim opened the gymnasium doors and saw Sunset Shimmer crashing down everything with fire balls, black smoke raged up in her eyes, Sunset's clothes has been shredded away leaving some dark, dark red skin color with black magic, pure black magic.

Sunset screamed, "HELL BREAKS LOOSE, WHERE IS MY LOVE? Where is my magic?" Sunset spoke, with a deep, deep voice she was flying in the air and slowly landed on her knees her wings began to fold over her.

"Let there be blood..."

"no."

"Let there be death..."

"I must find my light..."

"no, there is no sun, there is no star that can free me... death is always the answer..."

"I beg you, make this stop! No, you’re my precious, precious host... Sunset... you are nothing... yes... just nothing..."

"I am something special... you just don't know it yet."

"I know what you mean, its not real its just an untold. Nightmare." Sunset spread her wings out and her wings burned with black fire. Sunset and Selena is fighting over through the voices

"M-mom?" Eclipse whispered his eyes went wide surprised to hear her beautiful voice.

"Eclipse? Grim? Comet? Are you here?" Sunset said she looked up to see her young boys she smiled.

"Yes, we are here" Grim said, Comet slowly put Flash Sentry down on the ground.

"N-no... Flash... shut up... shut up..." Sunset whispered, her head begins to feel painful.

"Come here boys, give mommy a hug... I miss you three so much" Sunset said, they got a group hug.

"We miss you too... Selena Whisper" Comet said, and in a good timing Flash begins to wake up he slowly stood up and saw Sunset Shimmer's demonic form he smiled.

"My dear Selena, welcome to our new home" Flash said, jumping up and let the magic run freely a pure black color soared through the sky with a grin on his face.

"Our full power is here, time to destroy everything" Flash said.

"Requiem, is it okay if I can just talk to you alone? It won't take too long" Eclipse said as Flash slowly stood on the ground they walked out the door. "Requiem sweetie, you don't mind if we can give them their treat to victory?" Sunset said, her expression is lovable and trying to swoon Requiem's love affection.

"Of course, after all, they deserve it. We are a family after all" Requiem said he closed his eyes, placing hand on Eclipse's shoulder and felt something tingle his in his chest painfully dark gray surrounded him.

The same thing that is happening to Grim and Comet, their skeleton wings slowly emerged from their backs, on their hands and knees their spine shifted and poking out some skeleton wings in a dark gray color, and their eyes turned black and smiled.

"Soon, you will earn your wings Eclipse, now... father and son time? Is that what you want?" Requiem asked while Eclipse looked worried and walked with his dad.

"Well... I have been worried about something, and some... other things" Eclipse said he began to look worried and sad, while Requiem looked worried and confused about his younger son.

"What is it?" Requiem asked.

"Have we ever thought about... friends? 'Cause... well..." Eclipse paused; it is becoming hard for him to talk about it.

"Why friends? Did those girls do something to you?" Requiem asked him.

"No, its just... I have been feeling alone for centuries and... I feel like I need someone with me... none of you actually cared about me being with you guys. It’s becoming a depression for me, worried that I will be alone forever and I don't want that" Eclipse said walking up to the nearest bench and sat down.

"Listen Eclipse, this family has been in charge ever since the beginning of time, and this planet I has been feeling alone too. I missed you, Grim, Comet and your mother, why wouldn't I care? I do have a heart but not a soul. I have more than just one soul and that is just what I am. Requiem, god of darkness and death its what I do and what am I. If you take the wrong way we will disappear forever... if you did... then. Everything is gone from this family. I don't want to loose you, like I did before" Requiem said.

"What about... Tion? Did you ever feel something from him when he died?" Eclipse asked.

"Tion... he may be a fun loving guy, but... if I didn't kill him... I wouldn't have met your mother, you, and your brothers won't exist. Tion was like... not only my best friend; all he wanted was to follow my dad's footprints as well. To become a king... so I killed Tion with the anger in my heart... I took the crown and the throne all by myself. I never cared about what Tion felt like... all I cared about was killing, and being a ruler... I did become a king, even if there was nothing to rule... I didn't stop" Requiem said.

"What if... I didn't stop?" Eclipse asked Requiem and he became confused, Eclipse punched right Requiem's eye painfully, and he fell to ground confused of what is happening. Eclipse stomped on Flash's chest and his face, non-stop fighting. Flash opened his left eye with pure black hatred.

"Eclipse stop!" Requiem shouted, using his arms to defend himself from Eclipse's attacks. Eclipse raised his hands in the air; a black thundercloud formed over him and smashed it against Flash's face, until he passed out yet again.

"Why would I?" Eclipse said he kept on damaging Flash's body even if passed out.

"Eclipse... why betraying your family... over friends?" the real voice of Flash Sentry spoke, and stretched he tried to open up  his blue purified eyes.

"We have been living far too long Flash... I'm done living" Eclipse said, Flash's eye turned black again, kicking Eclipse in the stomach by performing a back flip, punching randomly at Eclipse as he dodged every attack.

Requiem panted, angered and almost becoming fully possessed to Flash, a small red eye began to form.

"You betrayed me? You betrayed us? What good would that do? We are going to disappear because of you!" Requiem said Eclipse exhaled.

"Dad? Are you okay?" Grim shouted along with Comet, they ran toward us by taking a right turn and stopped to see Requiem and Eclipse fighting. "No... This can't be... NO! Eclipse what have you done? The plan was going so well, and now... now... now that you are against us... we're dead!" Grim said stomping on the ground and turning around in a circle.

"Eclipse, stop this at once you cannot fight against us when your just alone on this" Comet said, Requiem kept on panting to catch his breath.

"Then let it be this way, I no longer care about letting this family die. I no longer care about living anymore... besides... we are immortal" Eclipse smirked, when Grim growled he couldn't take it but to fight against his own brother. A powerful punch at the cheek and felt so painful Eclipse fell to the ground sliding on it, now the pain is just getting healed.

"Did you forget Grim? The more fighting we do... the more time we get to disappear" Eclipse said

"TRAITOR" Comet smashed the bench against Eclipse it fell on his chest and hit his head.

"You sick bastard" Grim walked up to Eclipse, kicking away the bench and placed a foot on his chest.

"Right now... all I care about is killing you, your a disgrace to this family, a traitor to your brothers, taking a side to the light won't help you all because... we are able to disappear, the more we fight the more we feel weak on this" Grim said getting closer to Eclipse's eye.

"I. Don't. Care!" Eclipse shouted. Grim punched Eclipse's cheek again, it was very effective almost to knock him out.

"What are you going to do about it then?" Requiem asked Eclipse, his arms across his chest with an evil, sinister, and angry expression. Eclipse grunted, "I will find a way...but did you seriously had to say that? Are you sure I'm alone on this?" Eclipse asked everyone but they didn't know what he has been planning to practice, a trick he mastered over the past few centuries, he smiled.

"What are you talking about?" Grim asked Eclipse, confused. Black magic formed around Eclipse, kicking Grim in the air and landed on his back against the lockers, Eclipse then started to multiply himself six times.

Requiem, Grim, and Comet were surprised at Eclipse's new magic trick.

Eclipse started to laugh, "cool hu? Let's see if I can face against you boys six times. Time to enjoy the show" Eclipse said and smiled. Requiem, Grim and Comet backed away Grim shook his head.

"You think you can stop us? We are not done here in fact you just earned four enemies! This isn't goodbye... traitor..." Grim said still angered and walked away, from the hallway from where they came from he started to scream very loud, thunder boomed for at least thirty seconds.
