What if Twilight found out that she had a third choice?(sequel-spinnof-au to: in a far away land).

What if all of the events they had gone through in Haven and Promise peak had made Twilight reconsider the tough choice. What if instead of choosing the first or second she chose the third?

Chapter 1

There it was before her. The sphere that would take her and all of her friends home. The sphere that would clean up all of this mess she had gotten everypony into. It was logical, why remain in a non changing world?  Reliving the same things over and over again? It was obvious too after all of what she ahd gone through it felt safe to say she had earned it. for herself and  all of her freinds.

But something didn't feel right, like a feeling to not do it. The feeling pointed out that by activating it Twilight would loose all of the new friends she had gotten.(like she hadnt allready thought over it) Everypony who had helped her, gone. they would still be alive. But they wouldnt be the ones she had lived and fought beside in these years.

They would be the ones they were before this.

What should she do? Before her she had two choices. Either stay in a world that just was there and didnt change at all or go back to Equestria a place she once called home but have all of her new friends stay. For the last time she looked over to swift digger and made har silent goodbye with him.

Slowly her hoof reached out to the sphere. All of her was trembling she felt like she was going to faint, the world started swirling around her she began to loose control over her body but she had to do it. Why could she just activate it? She had made important choices before. "this shouldnt be happening thought twilight.

"Twilight? are you okay? TWILIGH!?" shouted swift trying his best to catch the falling Twilight but failing miserably as he tripped on a small object and fell on his face . Maybe it was her nausea but suddendly she had a strong urge not to go away from this land but she needed to do it. Like the feeling she had just ahd but much grander and it was slowly taking over her mind. and as her world faded to black she fell towards the sphere and touched it and fell right through the sphere and blacked out happy and relieved to finnaly have completed her task of bringing everypony safe home and that the thought didnt break her.

Swift digger stood up and gasped in awe as the sphere twilight had touched exploded into a  round portal of every single colour in the world and slowly began to stretch reality around it shifting its structure and  dragging the whole world into it, and just as that had happened another portal exploded on the other side of the building just as bright and colourfull but this one was a cube. The new portal was  doing the same as the other one, dragging reality into it. The room swift was in began to get smaller and smaller as the portals moved closer to the middle , the sound of matter getting dragged into them became louder and louder. Swift didnt know what to do but to continue watching as the portals continued to press him into a small space.

this went on until Swift had only  four feet of wood to stand on.  About that time the two portals stopped ,giving swift a brief break.But just as he thought it was over, the outside of the portals began to rotate faster and faster until it was impossible to see the spinnig outline of the portals. Swift began to feel nervous ,"this wasnt supposed to happen" and just as he muttered that statement under his breath the invisible outlines shot out about a dozen tentacles on each other. The tentacles went inside the portal and tried to absorb the other world.

The tentacles were battling each other for survival some tentacles died and other grew out of the portals. After about two minutes of colours exploding ,tentacles latching onto portals it became clear to swift that the two world were equal in power so he decided to watch and think over about what he should do. Slowly trying to place a hoof down in order to gain control over his awestruck body. Swift decided to inspect the portals and slowly began moving to the round one and after a few steps one of the tentacles that was trying to subdue the blocky portal went out and grapped swift by the waist and before he knew what had happened he was thrown into the round portal. and as he was dragged deeper and deeper into the rainbow of the round portal  he saw the round portal finally absorbing the blocky portal.

And as he was dragged Swift thought "what have i done?"

"Twilight? Twilight?" She felt someone utter those words as she got shaken awoken. Slowly opening her eyes she saw it was Rainbow who was shaking her awake with tears in her eyes. As soon as she saw who it was she jumped back and readied a devastating punch."What are you? What have you come to do? Want to kill me?" Screamed twilight, getting a devastating kick ready."twailaite? Whatsup? Watcha doin attacking one of your friends?" Said a voice behind behind her. In panick she released the kick and hit the orange mare behind her in the face."Twailite! Calm down, we aint gonna hurt ya. Look around everypony's watching ya." uttered Applejack as she laid a hoof on the spot Twilight had hit her.

Calmed down but still breathing heavely Twilight looked around. She was in the town square of Haven and around her a large croud was gathered."w-w-w-what happened?" uttered twilight still flabbergasted to see she was in Haven and not in Ponyville." Why are we still here? Wasnt Haven supposed to be....." Twilight said. body still shaking after the surprise. " Supposed to be what Twilight?" Said pinkie suddendly standing in front of twilight. "nothing,pinkie,nothing at all".

After Twilight woke up in Haven, unsure about why the device didnt do as digger told her it would she was led to the town hall by Pinkie pie and Rainbow dash. While she was going through town she could see many ponies lying on the ground,deeply injured from the battle. On their way to the town hall to gather and discuss the situation with the council Pinkie and Rainbow explained to her that after the battle all of the main cities and the railroad were absorbed by a strong white light that made everypony pass out. When they woke up they realized that the slaves of Herobrine had gotten their will back.

Everything semeeded to go back to normal exept for one little difference. When anypony tried to leave the town they were blocked by an invisible wall. The only exeption seemed to be when the ponies used the railway or the allready dug mines. This fortunate turn of events informed everypony on how the situation in the other towns were.

As the ponies entered the damaged town hall Twilight saw that everypony was gathered there. Filthy rich of the Trading district, Big mac of the guards, Timey of the changelings and osme other ponies Twilight couldnt remember the name of. "Okay now as we all are gathered here i would like to bring forth an issue." said Timey as he raised a paper.

"As all of you know the ponies we thought were dead werent dead but slaves and one of them was the former mayor of this town. The question is. Should she be allowed back to the council or not"? Almost everypony voted for and then the cases continued and continued some about how nopony could go anywhere and others about the reapair of towns. until:

"So while you were unconsious the town decided to award you a medal for saving us." Timey told Twilight. "And you made me sit thorugh this whole meeting for nothing more than a medal?"twilight told him with disbelief. "Partialy it was also to get you up to date with situations in this town. Now you may go."

As she exited the town hall Twilight lookked over to her friends and said "well that was pointless."

"yes yes it was" said her friends. "but anyway where are the other girls?".

"Well the others went to help changelings evacuate the town. The whole town got destroyed in the white light, not a single building left."explained Rainbow while taking twilight and the bouncing pinkie to one of the few cafes in haven which were not closed.

As they sat there and drank some coco. She heard  Big mac bust in through the door. Everypony turned to him. "Twilight , follow me." curious about what Big mac would show her she followed him to the gate. What she saw awestrucking. it wasnt the usual blocky forest but.

Everfree forest.

Meanwhile in another dimesnion, in a far away place ,a hooded figure  was sitting on a throne made of dark crystals, Musing over its plan.

"Queen! something has gone wrong!" a guard shouted in a raspy words as he ran towards the throne and bowed , awaiting the punishment for being the one who ahd brought the news

"What is it?" The figure said calmly scratching its hooves together.

"It seems herobrine has fallen at the hooves of the ponies And the backup plan didnt work either."

"WHAT? HOW COULD THIS HAPPEN. WHERE ARE THEY NOW?" The queen shouted, Dark magic hovering in a ring around her.

"They are on their way on equestria."

"Very well contact our agent and tell her to initiate Operation: Snow in desert" Said the queen calming herself down, reminding herself that all was not yet lost.

"It will be done my queen" the guard said as he hurried out of the throne room, glad  that the queen didnt decide to take her anger out on him.
