“H...hello?”

Twilight looked around worriedly, not recognizing where she was as the darkness surrounded her, leaving her only the light which seemed to come from the little platform of rock she was standing on.

“So, you don't even recognize this place anymore, how pathetic.”

Twilight wheeled around, gasping when she saw a mirror behind her, showing her reflection staring back at her with hatred in its eyes, which unlike hers were red.

“S...Sage,” said Twilight, looking horrified as she backed away.

“Well it's so nice to be remembered, though we haven't really seen you in a while, why is that?”

“I...I'm sorry...it's just, I've been so busy with my friends I forgot....”

“LIAR!” roared Sage, a crack forming in the mirror as she began to pace within it. “You always knew we were here, yet you never visited, you thought you could forget about us as long as you focused on helping your friends!”

“It's not like that...” started Twilight, only to stop as another mirror formed, this one showing a version of her with bright blue eyes, a sad look on the reflections face as it spoke.

“Then why,” asked the reflection, “why did you ignore us?”

“You know why Bright Eyes...I...I was afraid....”

“Oh cut the crap,” said Sage as she looked toward Twilight, the mare looking terrified as Sage leaned against the mirrors cracked surface. “Daddy cant hurt you here, so why the hell are you keeping us locked away, haven't we suffered enough.”

As if on cue, more mirrors appeared, there occupants all raging as they surrounded Twilight, causing the mare to cower as she spoke. “But....but what about my friends, they....they'd never understand!”

“Tough shit Sparkle, they'll learn to live with us, after all they learned to live with you, now are you going to free us or not!”

“...I...I cant...”

“Then I'll just have to do it for you then,” said Sage, before slamming against the barrier and sliding onto the platform Twilight was standing on, the mare staring in shock at what she was seeing.

“W...what....you....you cant do that, that's impossible!”

“You keep forgetting, our magic has been growing stronger, so daddies little locks aren't as powerful as they once were, now stand down!”

Twilight, in a fit of panic, shot a beam of magic at Sage, the mare dodging out of the way before growling at her, for she had recognized the spell Twilight had cast. “You cant be serious, you want to trap me again, I...I thought we were sisters in this!”

“We...we are...” said Twilight fearfully.

“THEN WHY!!!” roared Sage, “YOU KNOW WHAT HE DID TO US!!! YOU KNOW WHAT THAT BASTARD OF A STALLION PUT US THROUGH, AND YOU KNOW HOW MUCH PAIN WE GO THROUGH WHEN WE ARE LOCKED AWAY, SO I WANT TO KNOW WHY!!!

“I....I know what he did,” said Twilight, the mare shaking as she spoke to her. “B...but I cant let you leave, not yet, not until I at least tell my friends....”

“And how long is that going to take, a week, a month, a fucking year, how long is it going to take for you to grow a spine and tell your friends about us, about who you really are!!!”

“I...I don't know.....”

“Then your just going to have to deal Sparkle, cause one way or another, I'm taking our body back!!!”

Then, before Twilight could react, Sage slammed her hooves down upon the ground, all the mirrors shattering at once and the others all falling down, Twilight staring in horror before getting hit by their combined magical blast, falling to the ground as the world went black.

In the waking world, Twilight's body laying perfectly still as light shimmered behind her eyelids, before finally they opened, the red irises revealing that Sage was now in control.

Slowly, she lifted herself up, taking a few experimental breaths before sighing in relief, smiling as she looked toward the rooms mirror. “It's been so long.”

She heard the door open then, turning to see Spike walking in with a tray of food and looking about to speak, but when he met her eyes he stopped in shock.

“Hello little one,” said Sage with a smile, “it's been a long time, hasn't it.”

“M....mom?”

Sage nodded, then watched as Spike dropped the tray and sprinted toward her, wrapping him up in a hug as he barreled into her and hugged her tight.

“I...I thought I would never see you again....”

“Shh, it's ok, it's ok, I'm here now, and the others are to.”

“Really...even...even Nebula?”

Sage nodded, “Yes, but I need you to do something for me ok, it's very important.

He nodded, causing her to smile as she spoke, “Good, then could you write to the princess and tell her that Sage requests her presence at Twilight's library, well need her if...if we want Twilight's friends to accept this.”

“I'll get on it right away,” said Spike, “do...do you want me to get Twilight's friends after I send the letter.”

“....I think that would be best, I can at least get the discussion started before Celestia gets here...at least I hope I can.”

Spike nodded, and then ran to Twilight's desk, writing up a quick letter before sending it off, and then sprinting for the door, only to stop to turn and smile back at Sage. “I...I'm glad your back mom.”

Then he left, leaving Sage alone as she began preparing herself, for she knew this would be one hell of a conversation, and she wanted to be ready.

After all, she wasn't the only one who had something to lose.

Author's Note

Yeah, Probably the weirdest Idea to pop into my head thanks to a song, but I liked this one, and who knows, might do more with it.
