Author's Note

I don't know how often I will be updating this, but I will try my best to do so weekly, and for those who are wondering about if I have an editor or not. Will I did, a nice man/woman (never got confirmation) had offered to aid me in editing, I have yet to hear back from him/her on my first story and when I had imported it to Gdoc's, my entire story was deleted. so if you know what happened and/or want to help me edit this story, I open and have not turned away anyone (yet)

Prologue

(Ponyville, 11:59 PM, Ponyville Hospital)

As the foal laid in the hospital bed, most of her face wrapped in bandages, sound asleep; until the clock next to her struck tweleve. In a instant the foal sprung up, fully awake, listening to every sound nearby, as she knew her eyes were unable to see through bandages. She took In every noise that she could hear: her frantic breathing, the heart monitor, an animatronics' heavy hoofsteps, the owls hooting out- ANIMATRONIC! The foal started breathing even heavy as she turned her head to the general location of the noise, and just as she was about to scream when a cold, metal hoof pressed against her lips, affectively silencing her.

"Calm down Twilight, I'm not here to kill you." Came the voice of the Twilight Animatronic (Fredbear).

"And why should I listen to you, you monster!" Twilight screamed at the machine. "You killed my friends, forced their souls into those machines to further their pain, and then used them to try to kill me!"

Twibot waited patiently for the filly to end her rant before responding. "I know, and that is why I am here; I have a proposition for you."

"Well you can shove your proposition up your plot-" Twilight started to retort before being interrupted.

"If you accept, you get your friends, a chance to save your friends from their demise, and you can live happily ever after or whatever." Twibot said calmly. "Without having to give your life and/or body as the price."

"Starlight, what are you saying?" Twilight questioned, this was unusual for the murder, even when she had most of her sanity.

"I made a mistake, one that I had not realized until you shoved me into this suit." Starlight Glimmer explained the rest of the Animatronic walked up next to her. "That mistake was ruining any chance of having a actual friend; when you had defeated me for the first time, instead of hunting me down, you let me go in hopes that I would realize my mistakes."

The bandages that covered her eyes grew wet with more tears, as she listened to her most hated nemesis. "Even though you had left me alone, I came back and did those atrocities; and only after five years later you finally found out that I was behind it all."

Starlight's eyes leaked a black substance as she started to sob. "When you found out, you didn't even attack me right away, no you attempted to reason with me, even after all that I had done." Starlight turned her head back the animatronics: Fluttershy (Chica), Pinkie (Golden Freddy), Rarity (Bonnie) were crying as well, while Applejack's (Freddy) and Rainbow's (Foxy) heads hung low, Sunset (Springtrap) and Trixie (Puppet) looked back at Starlight urging her to continue, Discord's (Mangle) broken body wrapped around Twilight as he tried to bore a hole through Starlight's head with his gaze alone, Spike (BB) stared out the window as he sat at the edge of the bed, not able to look at his mother or his murder.

Starlight sighed before continuing. "It was only after I told you that I was using your friends and others suffering to increase my own power that you attacked, you attacked me relentlessly and in the end even with all the power that I had I was no match for the Element of Magic."

"There are things more powerful than hate and suffering." Twilight mumbled as she snuggled against the strangely warm Discord animatronic.

"I know, and I also know that you cried for my immediate 'death' too." Starlight walked to Twilight and laid a wing over what she could over without touching Discord.

"Well, even though you were horrible and had done the same thing to my friends, but being forced to live a life of constant pain and misery while forced to entertain foals or be left to rot in storage, is a punishment I wouldn't wish on anyone." Twilight 'looked' at her hooves as she told Starlight her reason.

"And that right there is why I am done with misery, and will be atoning for my actions." Starlight scoffed as her horn started to glow. "Even though I tortured you and your friends for my own personal gain and amusement, hell I even made them attack you because I knew how torn up you'd be about it."

"And yet you can only bring yourself to hate me temporarily, the most pain you had ever caused me was striking me down with that axe, hiding my dying corpse in the suit I had prepared just for you." Starlight ignored the growling coming from all sides as she nuzzled the filly. "Then you cried for your deceased friends and the recently deceased me."

"And so I decided, after all the pain I have caused and those close to you, offer you a chance to stop it from happening in a alternate reality." Starlight started counting to see how long it would take.

"HUH!?!" Twilight swerved her head up to 'stare' at Starlight Glimmer.

Starlight chuckled before explaining. "As you had said before, 'there are things more powerful than hate and suffering.' Even though I am powerful, there is no way that I could stop it from happening in the first place, at least in this reality." Starlight looked down at Twilight. "However in an alternate reality, we can split one into two different ones with our arrival."

"But what about this one?" Twilight tried to see some way to argue but was drawing blanks.

"This one will go on as it has been and will continue to do so, just without us." Starlight said before frowning. "But if you don't want to, I understand, but still I'd want leave this one and go to another."

"I... well... uhhh... fine, I just can't seem to think of any reason to not go other than simple distrust, and I won't disgrace Applejack's memory with that reason." Twilight sighed as she tried to make out the location of the aforementioned friend.

Applejack nuzzled her before Starlight continued. "So is that a yes?"

"*sigh* I don't like it, but I have nothing else to lose and you promised to not try and make me eat my words on that, so yes." Twilight said with a small smile. "Let's go and save the world, one last time."

Starlight's horn grew bright as she cast her spell. "Oh! I almost forgot to mention."

"What?" Twilight asked as she covered her eyes to get away from the light peaking through the bandages.

"I hope you’re not afraid of heights." Starlight smiled deviously before everything turned to light.

(Ponyville, 9:30 AM, The Dash Mansion)

Rainbow Dash was cooking herself some breakfast when she heard a strange noise; it had seemed to a mix of Twilight's teleportation spell and a Sonic Rainboom. Rainbow flew through the window to see what had made the noise, only to be surprised when she saw nothing, for miles was just open air space, the only thing that moved within Dash's eyesight was a small cluster of balloons.

'Did Pinkie lose her ballons again, ugh.' Rainbow thought as she watch the balloons drift over to Ponyville. 'I need to go see Twilight about that noise... *sigh* I hope it's not some evil monster trying to take over the world, IT'S MY DAY OFF DAMMIT'

And with that Rainbow Dash lived up to her title and bulleted to the Castle of Friendship, however if Rainbow had paid more attention to the balloons, she would have notice that the balloons were carrying something. Looks like Ponyville is going to be in for a dark surprise, whether they like it or not.
