Maternal sparkle

Twilight sparkle had not been the same since Sunsets death. She had became really depressed. She would have Vivid Dreams and Nightmares, Moodiness, and  Strong Hunger and Thirst Pains. She was a total mess since Sunsets death. Luna and Celestia were taking notice to this and where incredibly concerned for her. Twilight had never acted this way after any tragic event that had happened to her and her friends before. Not even when Discord was the biggest threat had she shown such sorrow. Twilight had not left her room for the past six weeks. She had apparently felt the need to be alone. Thankfully she was currently asleep so Luna could enter her dream and possibly talk to her. Luna did as she felt necessary, Unfortunately when she was about to do her work Twilight awoke from one of her vivid nightmares. Her friends entering her room to be by her side when she woke.

"Holy guacamole Twilight your yelling louder than Fluttershy's howling monkey~! Howling monkeys are known for there howling~!"  Pinkie pie said in her usual over ecstatic tone of voice. Almost as if her reference to how loud howler monkeys was relevant to the situation.

"Now, now darling, I'm sure Twilight would be more relaxed if you would stop being so loud every time she awakes from a nightmare~." Rarity said as she looked at pinkie pie with a radiant smile. "Though we do appreciate your reference to. The... howling... Monkeys." Rarity said as she used her right hoof to fluff her lower curl of her mane.

"Girls I'm fine really. It's just a nightmare. Everypony has them." Twilight said as she used her own pillow to cover her head so not so much light could reflect into her eyes, She had also been allot more sensitive in every prospective since she had witness the death of Sunset. "After all dreams are merely  a frightening or unpleasant dream. Dreams can't hurt you." Twilight said as she tried to justify the fact that she was supposedly alright.

"Nightmare feel like they can hurt you." fluttershy said silently as she blew her lower bangs out of her eyesight. "I've had enough of them to know how they feel." She said as she lowered her head a little bit. Twilight looked at her five friends as she let out a soft sigh.

"Girls I promise I'll be alright. I suggest we all calm down and try and get some sleep. I don't want you all to lose sleep over worrying about me." Twilight said as she laid down. Her wings shuffled under her thin blanket. After her friend had finally left she felt that she could use her magic to stop concealing what she had been foolish enough to tell nopony about. Twilight had been using magic to conceal a rather peculiar lump in her stomach. Twilight was pregnant, which would be totally exciting to her if she knew how the hell she got that way. After all her one time relationship with Flash had never gone that for and they never got married. So the chances of it being Flashes was an obvious slim to none. This once again lead princess egghead to wonder how the hell she could be pregnant. Twilight looked down at her own stomach and she felt the urge to eat ice cream, and allot of it. Just the thought of ice cream was enough to make her lips tremble to want to eat some. Then the random thought of eating dirt popped into her head and this made twilight really confused. How did she go from wanting ice cream to dirt? Was it because dirt was more readably available as oppose to ice cream?

"Ugggggggggggghhhhhhhhhhhhh I feel fat~!" Twilight groaned as she nearly rolled off her own bed in her own self wallowing. Twilight was now on her back as she lay in bed her front hooves now resting on her own chest as she looked at the ceiling. Twilight smacked her lips together as she still thought about eating dirt. Twilight looked at a pot nearby. Spike had been kind enough to pick some flowers for her. Twilight began to think to herself. your not really gonna eat that are you she thought to herself as she stood up out of her bed.yep your gonna eat it aren't you Twilight made it over to the pot and stared at it. oh come on don't belittle yourself by eating dirt...it's sooooo uckie She thought to herself. Next thing she knew she had a nice sized chunk of dirt in her mouth "Ewwwwwwwww why did I do that?" she started to spit it all out onto her floor. She used her wings and front hooves to bat at her own mouth to rid her mouth of the foal taste of potting soil that had been sitting in the sun all day. Twilight had not done much studying on Pregnancy. Oddly enough she never thought she would be one to get pregnant. So she went to go do the one thing she could do best. Read.....a book. Twilight used her magic to once again conceal her lump. She slowly exited her room to go to the library part of her castle. Twilight breathed out slowly to help herself grow courage enough to go. Twilight looked around to see none of her friend appeared to be awake. Which for one was a huge relief for her, The last thing she needed was a....

"Hi twilight." Pinkie pie said as she was now right by twilight her muzzle pressed tightly to Twilights cheek. "Watcha doooin?" she said as she slowly slid away about ten inches. Pinkie now had her head tilted, the widest smile ever on her face. Pinkie was balancing on her right front hoof as she waited for Twi to respond.

"Well Pinkie I was going to go study alone." twilight smiled back in the most polite way possible.

"Ooooooooooooooooooooo goodie. Studying is something you used to do all the time before all that funky stuff happened in the human world. when sunset died and everything." Pinkie squeed as she then planted all her hooves on the ground. "Shooooooooooooooooooooooouuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuld I  leave you alone~?" Pinkie pie gave a smile even wider than before as she leaned in towards twilight.

"Y-yes Pinkie I could use some alone time, After all studying is usually a one pony thing for me." Twilight smiled awkwardly. Twilight somehow managed to get out of that Pinkie situation. Her friend, along with every other pony were getting used to giving her space. Twilight had been getting her space quite a lot lately. The whole situation had never really clicked in miss sparkles head up until now. She had never really thought how her hiding would affect her relationships. She was the princess of friendship, She out of anypony should know what things affect the thing she represents. Twilight couldn't help but get more and more frustrated with herself.

She eventually made it to the Library. Anything she needed should be under the p section of the library. Twilight spent five minutes searching but she eventually found what she was looking for. A book with the title called Equine Pregnancy. Pregnancy came with many side affects. When pregnant one will feel urges of hunger and thirst,Vivid Dreams and Nightmares, and Moodiness. Twilight had all of those symptoms. This also made her wonder why her friends couldn't tell something was up. Shouldn't they know? Twilight shook those thoughts for now and continued her research. This time she searched for a supernatural form of pregnancy, Her mind was wandering and searching for answers. Answers she may not want to know. She kept searching for answers despite those lingering thoughts in her head. A small voice deep in her brain seemed to be telling her she didn't need to know. She fought that voice of hers in order to find what she believed she needed to know. Unfortunately the answer was not what she expected. She was pregnant because of...Sunset?

Sparkling Shimmer

How could this even be possible. The moment the truth was unfolded to Twilight she felt an over whelming amount of pain surge through her body. She felt as if her whole insides were on fire. Twilight's eyes busted into a a white glow as her alicornic powers were showing her a vision. Twilight found herself surrounded by fire. She was looking into a huge wall of burning flame.

"What is this? What is happening." Twilight yelled out as she looked into the flame. That's when Twilight could see a very familiar face start to peer out of the flame. It was none other than the empress of flame.

"If it isn't Twilight Sparkle." Empress was huge her head and body the size of a large building in manehatten. Empress spread her wings that looked like they went on for miles. "Hello......Mommy." Empress said as she started to laugh out loud. Twilight felt the ground begin to give in below her. She fell through the crack that had formed below her. She let out a scream as she fell for what seemed forever. She landed on top of the  large snout of Empress. Twilight let out a grunt as she landed hard.  She wanted so badly to just wake up from this vision. Twilight looked into the eyes of the massive Empress. She was quickly launched up slightly only to now land on the tongue of Empress. She was quickly without word swallowed. As the throat around her quickly transformed into a rock cavern hole. Flame was coating the walls around her. Twilight let out a scream once again as she closed her eyes as to not see the terror around her. She quickly felt as if she was not falling anymore.  Twilight could hear the sound of a foal crying. Twilight was very confused, She felt a very strong urge to head for the crying. Twilight slowly opened her eyes to see a crib not far away. She blinked slowly in disbelief when she saw it. Twilight slowly made her way over to it.  Once Twilight reached the crib she saw no one but three babies. One was a baby Sunset Shimmer one a baby Empress. The Third baby was a baby Daydream. Twilights eyes started t glow again as she awoke from her vision. She was overwhelmed with emotions. She wasn't only pregnant because of Sunset. She was also pregnant with sunset. sunset was the baby inside of her.  When she looked at her surroundings she felt almost as if she was not alone. The books of the library seemed to be concealing something. Or somepony even. Twilights violet eyes gazed around her as she felt sweat running down the curves of her body. The vision she had put her into some sort of state of despair. Twilight caught a glimpse of an orange ponies leg behind a bookshelf.

"Who is there? I-I saw y-you." Twilight struggled to stand up as she felt the feelings of contractions near her lower abdomen. "Come out of there I saw you~!" Twilight felt herself start to lose her consciousness. She saw what appeared to be Sunset Shimmer stand out from behind the bookshelf. Twilight eyes widened as Sunset transformed tot he pony whom was really standing there. None other than Applejack. Twilight felt her own knees begin to buckle. Applejack quickly rushed to her friends side. Twilight was quickly unconscious by the time Applejack managed to catch her. Twilight didn't know it yet but when she awoke she was in for yet another shock.

"C'mon sugar cube wake up." Apple jack said to try and coach her friend back into consciousness. Twilight was coached back to consciousness rather quickly. She on the other hoof awoke in a much different environment then she had passed out in. Twilight was in a hospital bed. Her friends sitting around her. Celestia and Luna were also in the room. Twilight was very confused. How had she ended up in the hospital? how was something as simple as passing out serious enough to be admitted here. Twilight looked at Applejack who had the most concerned looked on her face. Twilight knew for a fact that if any of her friends was gonna tell her why she was here, it was going to be AJ.

"A-applejack W-why am I in the hos-pital?" Twilight said as she shakily turned her whole head to face AJ. Applejack started to shake as she tried her best to not speak. Unfortunately Applejack couldn't resist the baseline of the meaning of honesty. She knew she had to say something to her friend.

"Well uhhhhh you were uhhhh in need of serious help Twi~." AJ said in the best way she could.

"What are the condition?" Twilight said in a weak tone of voice. "I want to know why." She smiled at her friend.

"Twi, You gave birth to a filly." Applejack said with a long sigh. "That's not the concerning part on the other hoof." AJ looked over at Celestia solemnly. Twilight hadn't noticed up until now but Celestia was cradling something in a blanket. Twilights eyes were very wide as her anxiety levels were rising. Celestia started to slowly make her way over to Twilight.  All of Twilights friend dispersed to let the princess through. Celestia gave a sigh as she levitated the bundle to twilight. Twilight used her own magic to grab hold of the small bundle. Twilights heart was pounding at the possibility that her vision could very well be a reality. Twilight turned the face side of the bundle towards her sight so she could see. What twilight saw blew her away. In the bundle was a small amber colored filly. The mane was a bright crimson ladened with brilliant yellow stripes. The eyes of the filly opened and they were a moderate cyan blue. This filly was none other than Sunset Shimmer.

Midnight Sparkle. Empress of Flame

Twilight could hardly control the surges of emotion flowing through her body. Sunsets eyes started to glow in a dark cyan essence. Celestia started to feel a very familiar magical presence flowing from twilight. She wasn’t about to let anything happen to the newborn. Whether it is by accident or on purpose Celestia wasn’t going to let anything bad happen. Celestia used her magic to remove the baby from Princess Twilight’s hooves. Twilight was in such a state that she didn’t even realize Celestia had even done anything. Twilight wasn’t even able to see the world around her. All twilight could see was fire, all she could hear were screams of pain and suffering. Twilight felt a fiery sensation suddenly shoot through her body. A voice screaming at her in her head, over and over again.

“Mommy Twilight, mommy Twilight!” The voice kept screaming at her. Twilight felt all the warmth in her body start to resonate on her mouth. She screamed out as fangs started to form in her mouth. Twilights coat color began to darken slightly. Her friends around her could sense something was terribly wrong. Twilight appeared like she was being overcome by something. Celestia knew exactly what was taking hold of Twilight. The empress of flame had somehow become part of Twilight. She just hoped this wouldn’t be a terrifying rerun of her first coming. With Empress of flame now inside of the element of magic, who knew what she would be capable of now. Twilight felt her wings start to expand as if they were getting bigger.

“Helppppp me” Twilight said in a pain filled voice. She felt as aches and pains were now globally spread through her body. Her wings turned into a much darker purple. Part of her wing had a stripe of glowing essence at the base. Twilight’s hair started to act like flame, forming a flickering candle like shape as she started to slowly float. Celestia watch as her wings was protecting little shimmer from the bright light that was resonating from her mother. She should have known after the child’s birth that this was a plan from the devious side of Sunset Shimmer. Twilight threw her head back in an arch as her eyes had a very solid cyan flame form around them. The acted like spectacles in the fact that they were solid around the eye but completely transparent in front of the eye. Twilight busted into her final form as she now stood on the bed. Her head looking towards the ground, as a faint laugh began to resonate from her raspy throat.

“Girls leave the room now.” Celestia said to Twilights Friends. “Let me handle this.” For once the mane five didn’t argue against Celestia. They simply did as they were told. Celestia looked at Twilight. “Twilight Sparkle?” She said in a questioning manner.

“You know my name celestial princess.” Empress said as she raised her head. She looked very different while she was inside of Twilight. “Though I would prefer you call me by Midnight. That is until Sunset grows up and Twilight returns me to the body I belong in.” Empress smiled and a glowing cyan liquid started to drip from her mouth.

“What do you mean?” Celestia asked as she kept her wings around the small child she was still holding. “Why use Twilight as a host, I thought you had changed when Sunset had a change of heart?”

“I did change, did you actually expect me to stay that way like the obedient god of Chaos?” Empress said as she started to float up slightly. “Twilight will take me back to Sunset once she is full grown. If she doesn’t you will watch as your prized pupil takes over and rules your world,”  Empress lands on the ground directly in front of Celestia.  “Your Student has no care for Sunset therefore she will fell no remorse with giving her the pain I bring.”

“I feel as if you underestimate your past enemy. I know all about your attraction to her. Twilight informed me how hard you tried to sway her to your side upon your takeover of the alternate universe.” Celestia stated. Empress was shocked by the knowledge she thought nopony knew. She thought back into the past as she closed her eyes.

"You know I'm starting to see why She was so attracted to you." A deep and demonic purr escaped Empresses throat. Empress placed one of her clawed hands on Twilights stomach. Her hand glowed and it burned the top Twilight was wearing clean off. Without burning of Twilights Bra or burning Twilights skin. Twilights eyes widened at the Empresses sudden change in attitude.

"Stop! You cant just....." Twilights eyes widened more as Empress kissed Twilight on the neck. Twilight felt a warm tingly sensation serge through her body in response to the demonic and fiery kiss. Twilight couldn't help but like that feeling.

"I believe your body says otherwise." Empress said as her fangs slightly scratched Twilight on her neck. "You Princess Twilight are the reason this is all happening. Why not become a part of it?"

"NO, I will not fall victim to your cruel joke!" Twilight tried getting out of the grasp of Empress. "You will not succeed in your plan! The magic of friendship will defeat you. All of these people all of the ponies in Equestria will unite as one. They will defeat you." Twilight smiled as she spoke her words of friendship. Empresses hair began to flicker more rapidly like a raging fire. She was now getting agitated.

"If that was true they would have won already, so enough of your fake wisdom." Empress turned Twilight around so she could look her in the eyes. Empress placed a claw in-between the divider of both bra cups. She quickly cut it with one curl of her finger. Twilight quickly caught it so it wouldn't fall.

"Your in denial Empress, you know I'm right. You know that they will stand no chance if I were to side with you. That is your only reason for tying to tempt me." Twilight said as she held her bra to her chest. Empress then brought Twi closer to her.

"Oh really? Is that what you truly believe?" Empress laughs only to slowly wipe a tear from her own eye. "My your soooo wrong Princess." Empress takes three claws and uses them to caress Twilight right cheek.

"Stop touching me!" Twilight tried moving her head away from the demonic hand.

"You want me to stop!" Empress starts to get even more aggravated. "Fine I'll respect you enough to not touch you with my hands." Empress then quickly locked her red lips with Twilights mulberry colored lips.

Empress opened her eyes after remembering what had happened.

"Funny how I remember things differently." Empress lies as she starts to walk circles around Celestia "If I remember correctly she was the one falling for me." Midnight sparkle says as she spreads her demonic wings.

“Yo0ur kidding right? Twilight would never fall for the monstrosity that you are. I know her side of the story and I know for a fact that her side is the truth.” Celestia said as she looked directly into the eyes of her controlled student. “I recommend that you let go of my students mind and reside away from it until the child is born. I’ll make a deal with you.” Celestia said in a sincere voice.

“You want to make a deal?” Midnight stated as she took a seat back on the hospital bed.

“When Sunset is full grown I shall assist you in returning to her body. I want no harm brought upon Princess twilight.”

“You treat her as if she were your own filly? Funny how you’ve abandoned the fact that you once held Sunset so close to your heart.” Midnights eyes flashed as the memories of little sunset rushed into Celestia’s Mind. “I take you up on your deal. Even though you’ve proven to be colder hearted then myself, letting the pain I’m bringing to twilight to be brought upon a clueless Sunset Shimmer. She doesn’t even have a recollection of her past life and you’re willing to put her into such pain.” Midnight laughs evilly, as she holds out a wing. “So touch my wing with yours if you except the deal and wish to proceed.” Celestia looked at the wing but despite the consequences she touched the wing of the decisive beast.

“You have yourself a deal.” Celestia said as Midnight immediately and painfully started to turn back into Twilight Sparkle.

Sunset Shimmer, Empress of Daydream Flame

"See this is the pain you have caused this world. this is the pain you have caused Sunset. This is me putting an end to it!" Empress yelled for she did not notice the approaching attack on herself. Twilight on the other hand did. The tank fired and was heading straight for twilight, Empress saw this and her eyes immediately changed to Sunsets eyes. Only momentarily. Empress put up a hand out and the shell of the shot fires stopped right infront of Twilights face. "You never fire at HER!" Empress threw the bullet back at the tank, destroying it. Then Empresses eyes returned and That small reminisce of Sunset was gone.

"See, right there. Empress there is still good left in you. Sunset is that good!" Twilight said trying to use words against Empress. Empress quickly turned twilight around as she locked hand with Twi.

"You know I'm starting to see why She was so attracted to you." A deep and demonic purr escaped Empresses throat. Empress placed one of her clawed hands on Twilights stomach. Her hand glowed and it burned the top Twilight was wearing clean off. Without burning of Twilights Bra or burning Twilights skin. Twilights eyes widened at the Empresses sudden change in attitude.

"Stop! You cant just....." Twilights eyes widened more as Empress kissed Twilight on the neck. Twilight felt a warm tingly sensation serge through her body in response to the demonic and fiery kiss. Twilight couldn't help but like that feeling.

"I believe your body says otherwise." Empress said as her fangs slightly scratched Twilight on her neck. "You Princess Twilight are the reason this is all happening. Why not become a part of it?"

"NO, I will not fall victim to your cruel joke!" Twilight tried getting out of the grasp of Empress. "You will not succeed in your plan! The magic of friendship will defeat you. All of these people all of the ponies in Equestria will unite as one. They will defeat you." Twilight smiled as she spoke her words of friendship. Empresses hair began to flicker more rapidly like a raging fire. She was now getting agitated.

"If that was true they would have won already, so enough of your fake wisdom." Empress turned Twilight around so she could look her in the eyes. Empress placed a claw in-between the divider of both bra cups. She quickly cut it with one curl of her finger. Twilight quickly caught it so it wouldn't fall.

"Your in denial Empress, you know I'm right. You know that they will stand no chance if I were to side with you. That is your only reason for tying to tempt me." Twilight said as she held her bra to her chest. Empress then brought Twi closer to her.

"Oh really? Is that what you truly believe?" Empress laughs only to slowly wipe a tear from her own eye. "My your soooo wrong Princess." Empress takes three claws and uses them to caress Twilight right cheek.

"Stop touching me!" Twilight tried moving her head away from the demonic hand.

"You want me to stop!" Empress starts to get even more aggravated. "Fine I'll respect you enough to not touch you with my hands." Empress then quickly locked her red lips with Twilights mulberry colored lips. A very hot sensation formed on Twilights lips that sensation then spread throughout her body and then resonated to be between her legs. Empress was trying her best to sway Twi to her side. Twilight wanted it to stop but she also didn't want it to. Twi then slowly began to kiss Empress back. Empress than slowly tried to get the bra completely off Twilight.  Twilight then realized she was falling for Empress, she had to stop before she couldn't. Twilight then quickly pulled away from Empress and ran for the edge roof of the building. She slid to a stop when she saw the long fall. and the distance she had to jump if she wanted to make it into the portal from here. She had no choice not when she had a powerful Demon behind her. Twilight then turned around and then started her run for the edge again. She leaped

off, wind rushing through her hair.  Empress taking flight not far behind her. Twilight felt like she was moving in slow motion as her legs barely caught the face of the statue that was the portal. The apparently malfunctioning Portal then sucked her the rest of the way through. She was thrown back into Equestria. She knew Empress would not be far behind her. She also knew that when Empress came through that portal Equestria may have it's final stand.

Twilight couldn't just lay there not with that thing coming after her. She scampered to her hooves and began to run. Empress poked her head out of the portal. She began to run after Twilight only to be intercepted by Celestia. Celestia tackled Empress to the ground. Twilight heard this and looked back.

"Celestia. Noooooo~!" Twilight turned to go help Celestia.

"Run Twilight, Go NOW~!" Celestia's Horn began to glow in a bright and vibrant golden color.

"Celestia, No she will kill you, Come run with me!" Twilight hollered.

"Then at least I'd be dying for a good cause, NOW RUN~!" Celestia yelled as she shot a beam of energy at Empress. Empress responded with firing a Black magic beam at hers. Their magic beams locked up.

"Step aside, Twilight has interfered with my plans one too many times already.... SHE NEEDS TO BE DEALT WITH~!" Empress growled as her horn began to spark. She was putting fourth so much energy. Celestia was not a weak being. She knew how to fight when she needed to.

"Your plan ends with me." Celestia flapped her wings and she flew up. She continued to keep her magical beam locked up with Empresses magic.

"We will have to see about that!" Empresses hooves began to glow in a cyan glow. She lifted her front hooves and she used magic through them to grab the  flying princess. "Come down birdy!" Empress thrust her hooves down. The magic forced Celestia to slam into the ground. Celestia growled as she was plowed into the ground. She slowly stood up again.

"Sunset Shimmer I know your in there, Please my faithful student, please wake up. FFIGHT" Celestia shot a golden ball of energy at Empress. She only opened her mouth to swallow it. Empress smiled at Celestia and her faith in Sunset.

"Sunset is gone, She will never return!" Empresses wings spread as far as they could go.

"No your wrong, I know Sunset. When she loved something she would fight for it. TWILIGHT NEEDS HER, MORE THAN YOU!" Celestia said as her horn stopped glowing. "I will subdue for her return, I will not harm you and in turn hurt Sunset."

"Your foolish, Sunset has nothing to fight for, Twilight abandoned her when she needed her the most~!" Empress disappeared only to reappear beside Celestia. "Your crown is mine!"

"You don't understand. That portal is going to overload and kill us all anyways!" Celestiia yelled. "your magic essence has brought it to a breaking point."

"enough with your scare tactics Celestia." Empress went to bite Celestia on the neck when Luna flew in.

"Get your ugly face away from my sister!" Luna shot a blue beam of energy at Empress. The magical beam hit Empress smack dab in her side. She flew back into a wall. "We need twilight, Me and you cannot defeat her alone." Luna yelled as she shot a solid beam of energy at Empress, who responded by locking her magic up with Luna's. Celestia quickly combined her magic with Luna's by touching her horn to hers. Celestia shot a beam at Empress now as well. It was a three way lock up that was going nowhere. A magical stalemate.

"Your sister was right, You two cannot defeat me. Your only hope is gone~!"  Empress began to raise two hooves, she was attemoting to do a sneak attack.

"You wrong, I'm right here!" Twilight landed between Luna and Celestia. Twilight quickly touched her horn to the other two alicorns horns. Twilight shot a beam from her horn and locked up with Empress in order to help defeat Empress. Twilights magic was enough to win the lock up. The force hit Empress and sent her back through the portal. As She went flying back it was noticeable that she was turning back to Sunset Shimmer.

"Sunset?" Celestia had noticed this. "Twilight go after her!" Celestia said as she collapsed to her knees.

"Are you going to be ok!?" Twilight yelled. Concern in her voice showed that she was unsure about leaving.

"Go,GO NOW!" Celestia groaned. Twilight slowly looked at the portal only to slowly walk in. She entered the portal, The other side showed the world here was still scorched and burnt. Twilight looked over to see Sunset was not far. She was in the feedle position up against the statue.

"Sunset Shimmer, Your b-back." Twilight quickly went up to her. The remaining part of empress were empresses eyes and wings. Sunset was half Empress half herself. She had no clothes on so she was shivering. Despite the world around them being incredibly hot.

"W-hat d-did I do?" Sunset uttered as she began to cry. Why did I let this happen. Sunset looked at Twilight and then to the sparking portal. "What's wrong with that thing?"

"Sunset, The portal is going to overload and explode, according to Celestia. There is nothing that can consume that amount of dark energy that will be released." Twilight sighs, as sunset looks at it.

"I have caused to many problems for that to happen." Sunset began to stand up, she slowly spread the demonic wings that were still on her back. she began to hum as she began to sing a song. "I'm sick I think I'm sick, Sometimes I think I get like this, I bite my tongue, I clench my fists. Resist at first and then reverse." Sunset flapped her wings once as she started to sing. Her hair beginning to flow like fire slightly.

"Sunset your to weak, what are you doing?!" Twilight yelled out as dust and rocks started to revolve around sunset.

"The night knows me by name. Its shadow trained to dull the pain. All the black begins to blur. Resist at first and then immerse."  Sunsets skin started to turn red. "It tires me, it makes me sad. To think of all the nights I've had. Eyes shut tightly, I shut down. Won't be that much longer now. In the quiet, in the dark. All my ideals fall apart. When they come for me again. Resist with everything I am" Sunset floated up slightly as cyan ring began to form around her body.

"sunset stop!" Twilight yelled a she reached out for Sunset. She pulled her hand away quickly as the heat radiating off sunset was enough to burn from a distance.

"It tires me, it makes me sad. To think of all the nights I've had. Eyes shut tightly, I shut down. Won't be that much longer now!" sunset throws her hands out to embrace Empress. "I'm sick, I think I'm sick. Sometimes I think I get like this. I bite my tongue, I clench my fist. Resist at first and then reverse. Life's a war, you pick your fight. I think mine picks me first most nights. If I should wake before I die. Then promise me you'll never get this sick inside~" a large beam of cyan energy engulfed Sunset as she fully and violently turned to empress. Who then took over with singing. "Can't undo a word I said. Years of struggle still ahead. All the trouble in my head. I wish I were good instead, Can't undo a word I said. Years of struggle still ahead. All the trouble in my head. I wish I were good instead." Empress sang as she quickly entered the portal to Equestria. When she crossed over she continued to sing. The portal was now red hot and seconds from exploding. Twilight exited and tumbled behind Empress. "I'm sick, I think I'm sick. Sometimes I think I get like this. I bite my tongue, I clench my fists

Resist at first and then reverse. My adversary knows me well" Empress looks at Twilight and smiles "She's out for blood, too soon to tell. If I'll outsmart these lies of hell. And think my sick self back to health" Empress quickly grabbed the overloading portal and used her magic to blow a hole into the roof above her. She quickly opened her wings and flew up through the hole.

"Sunset nooooooo!" Twilight said as she tried to fly after her only to b heald back by Celestia.

"Can't undo a word I said. Years of struggle still ahead. All the trouble in my head" Empress closed her eyes and a tear fell  "I wish I were good instead."  the portal lit up and released a load of energy as it exploded. It lit up the sky Empress quickly bursted into a ball of light during the explosion. She sued her magic to try and save Sunset and herself. But they died, in a way that there magic was left behind to reform their bodies.

Twilight quickly woke up. She was once again in the bed of the hospital. She had no recollection of herself turning into Midnight Sparkle. Twilight was scared on the other hoof. She was not happy to still be in this hospital. Twilight couldn’t shake the random burning feeling she was feeling inside of her head. She felt like she needed a gallon of water to cool her off. She might even lie in a tub of water and ice. She groaned slightly as she attempted to stand up. She closed her eyes as she got up. When she opened them she was met with the face of the empress of flame. She yelped and fell off the bed. She looked back at Empress to see it was only Celestia. Why was she seeing these things all the time? She badly wished she could just have a normal day today. Unfortunately it appeared as if this was not going to happen.

“Twilight are you ok?” Celestia said as she went to her students’ side. “Why were you so scared?” Celestia wrapped a wing around Twilight. Twilight was to unsteady to get back up by herself. Celestia knew she would need the extra support.

“Sorry Celestia, It’s just that everytime I close my eyes, I open them to be scared by E-empress.” Twilight shivered because the room felt ungodly cold. Despite the temp being seventy five, Twilight was obviously overheating. Celestia knew she had to find a way to cool the princess off. She first had to test to see if it was magic that was making her so hot. Celestias Horn started to glow in the casual golden essence she possessed.  She scanned her student’s body to find that the heat was indeed because of the magic inside of her. Twilight normally wouldn’t overheat from magic. In this case she had never held so much dark magic. So she was not used to it, her body would naturally overhea6t from it. This was also unfortunate, you can’t cool down magic. In the end there was nothing Celestia could do. That’s when Sunset shimmer started to cry in the crib in the room. Twilight heard the crying of the child. This caused her to want to stand up. Her maternal instinct was telling her she needed to comfort her baby. Celestia let her stand up; she wasn’t going to hold back a mother from her baby. Especially when the mother is the element of magic, Twilight made it over to the crib and looked at baby sunset. Her mane had finally dried up which allowed it to form into the shape she recognized. Twilight smiled as Sunsets topped crying. Her large Cyan eyes stared into Twilights eyes. Sunset started to blow small spit bubbles as an adorable baby smile formed on her face. Twilight giggled as she used her magic to pick up sunset.

“I see Sunset makes you feel. Better?” Celestia said in a confused tone of voice.

“She looks so cute. I missed that mane and tail.” Twilight smiled. She didn’t even acknowledge the tears that were welling in her eyes. “Hush now quite now it’s time to lay your sleepy head. Hush now quite now it’s time to go to bed.” Twilight sang slightly. As twilight started to sing Sunset mane and tail started to act like flame. Magic was radiating of the small child. The candles that lit up the room started to glow brighter the happier the smile on Sunset face. She giggled and some unlit candles lit up in a blue flame. “Hush now baby lay, your sleepy little head on mommy.” Twilight laid down on the bed, Sunset on her chest.  Sunset tried to raise her wobbly head but didn’t have the muscle strength to keep it aloft.  “hush baby your mommy is here no need to cry when mommy wipes the fears away.” Twilight sang the song her mother used to sing to her when she was little. Sunset smiled more and all the candles in the room were now lit with a blue flame. Twilight was not aware of this because her focus was on making sure Sunset wouldn’t start crying again. Twilight closed her eyes and kissed her baby on the forehead. While Twilights eyes were closed the flame went up in the air to form Sunsets future cutie mark. The flame immediately went back on the candles the moment Twilight opened her eyes. Celestia was kind of stunned by the magical demonstration from a baby.

“Where did you learn that song Twilight?” Celestia said as she looked in the area the flame was floating moments ago. “I’ve never heard it before?”

“My mother used to sing it to me when I had nightmares. This was before I was your student of course.” Twilight smiled slightly. “You know despite my confusion, I’m not upset that Sunset is back.”
