Chapters Princess Twilight & Sunset Shimmer's Battle
The Fall of Princess Twilight Sparkle
Sunset Shimmer and Princess Twilight stood there in shock. Twilight Sparkle was no more, and in her place was Midnight. Midnight Sparkle looked around her, viewing all possible angles of entry to Equestria, her sights in particular set on the Tree of Harmony, and the Elements. Sunset Shimmer stood forward, and picked up Twilight's spectrometer. Princess Twilight looked Midnight in the eyes and saw herself, well, before she met the Mane 5 , alone, insecure, easily manipulated. "Twilight, you CAN'T do this!" the Princess yelled out as Midnight eyed up the Tree of Harmony, but swiftly turned around to view her counterpart.
"Don't you get it?! There's a whole other WORLD right there in front of me, and it's just FILLED with MAGIC!!" Midnight yelled as she opened another rift to Equestria, revealing Twilight's castle. Princess Twilight was shocked and scared at the same time, and Sunset Shimmer rushed over to Twilight's side once again.
"Yeah, we know, but you're destroying THIS world to get there!"
Midnight turned to face Sunset, who was holding her spectrometer. "So what?! There's more magic there, AND I WANT TO UNDERSTAND IT ALL!!!" Midnight threw a large beam of energy onto the ground, tearing the ground open and exposing another entrance to Equestria
Princess Twilight began to glow as she became filled with Equestrian magic, provided by the Element of Magic. She sprouted wings, ears and her hair grew longer. She had "ponied up" and was ready for a battle, charging at Midnight with a powerful shot of alicorn magic. Midnight absorbed the magic into her own attack and shot it back at Twilight, injuring her badly. But the Princess of Friendship wasn't going down without a fight so easily, and she continued assaulting Midnight with magical blasts.
After a few minutes, Princess Twilight was growing visibly weak, and Midnight wasted no time. She started absorbing the magic out of Twilight. All Sunset could do was watch in horror as the Element of Magic was sucked right out of Twilight, who could only writhe in agony as her Element was taken from her "No....Ugh...Stop.....AAAAAAGGGGGhHHH!!!!!" Princess Twilight screamed as the last few drops of her Element was stripped from her, sending Twilight's limp body crashing to the ground.
"Yes, YES!!! At last, I have the magic to RULE Equestria, AND EARTH!!! Mwahahahahaha! And the Princess of Friendship is NO MORE!!!!"
Princess Twilight & Sunset Shimmer's Battle
Daydream Shimmer vs Midnight Sparkle
"T-Twilight..."
Sunset Shimmer got down on her knees, next to Twilight's body, completely drained of magic. "Twilight, I'm sorry. I'm sorry...." Sunset began breaking down into tears as she hugged Princess Twilight. After a few minutes, the Princess woke up, her irises nearly completely drained of colour.
"S-Sunset...you have to stop her.."
"But HOW, HOW do I stop her?! She has YOUR Element of Magic now!!"
"There's magic flowing around you, you need to absorb it into the spectrometer and use it to transform into something as powerful as she is" Twilight blacked out after this sentence.
Sunset realised what she must do now, and absorbed some of the Equestrian magic left in the armosphere. She watched as Midnight approached the portal to the Tree of Harmony. She HAD to be stopped. So, without a second doubt, Sunset slammed the spectrometer and absorbed the magic into her. She began an angelic transformation. Her hair flowed up, she gained an angelic dress, and a glowing yellow horn. She looked at Midnight and sealed the rift to the Tree, and all the other rifts Midnight had created. The demonic Twilight looked at Sunset, and charged full-force at Sunset.
Quickly, Sunset deflected the force of the attack and shot a large laser at Midnight, who countered with her own magical blast. The two beams were being reflected back and forth from each other, when Midnight began gaining the upper hand, and almost fully deflected Sunset's beam back at her.
"Twilight..stop! Look at yourself! This isn't you!"
Midnight suddenly realised what she was doing, and what she had become, and gave Sunset the opening she needed to fully deflect Midnight's attack back at her. Midnight screamed as the magic washed over her body like a tsunami. "NNNNNNOOOOO!!!!"
Sunset approached Midnight, who was now cowering in fear, and offered Twilight her hand. "Take my hand Twilight. Let me show you there's another way. Just like someone once did for me." Midnight was at first hesitant, but took Sunset's hand in the end. All the magic Twilight had collected, and Princess Twilight, as well as the Element of Magic, were teleported back to Equestria.
Twilight Sparkle backed away in fear from Sunset, her eyes filled with tears.
"I-I'm so sorry....I never meant for this to happen..."
Sunset held Twilight's hands, and gave her a re-assuring look. "I know, and going by my own experiences, they'll forgive you." Twilight smiled as Sunset kept holding her hands, sealing the fact that she and Sunset were now frienda.

Twilight's Redemption (BONUS)
A few weeks after the whole "Midnight Sparkle" incident, Twilight has earned the trust of most of CHS' student body. She still gets a few glares here and there, and Trixie seems to have some sort of obsession over what happened, as she would constantly ask Twilight how she did it. The conversation would normally go like this :
"Twilight, you have GOT to teach Trixie how to do that trick with your pendant thingy!"
"Why would I want to do that? I almost killed Sunset!"
"Who cares? Trixie just needs the power to become even greater and powerful-er Trixie!"
"Yeah...we're done here!"
Twilight just walks away before Trixie can continue her incessant bragging. It is sort of funny to watch, but since it is Trixie, it gets annoying after a few times.
She also said something about giving Flash Sentry a try, saying something about "He seems nice enough, might as well give him a chance." I know you two were quite a duo, but you have the Flash in Equestria, so I'm sure it is no problem, right?
Well, I should go now. I'm gonna teach Twilight everything you taught me about Friendship. Hope to hear from you soon!
Your Faithful Student,
Sunset Shimmer.
Princess Twilight & Sunset Shimmer's Battle
Twilight Sparkle's Corruption
"But the magic's all I really want to see..."
Those were the words spoken by Twilight Sparkle before opening her spectrometer, and becoming engulfed in a large sphere of pure dark energy. She looked behind her in utter panic as she was physically and mentally engulfed by the Equestrian energies. Sunset Shimmer watched as Twilight began a twisted transformation. Her hair went up in a fiery style, she gained gloves and shoes made of energy. She sprouted demonic wings and a twisted horn before opening her eyes, now surrounded by a blue energy ring. Principal Cinch, the instigator behind Twilight's transformation, backed away in fear of her own safety.
"Mwahahahahahaha! You were right! I didn't understand magic before, BUT I DO NOW!!!" the now-evil Twilight called out as she destroyed the Wondercolt statue, creating an inter-dimensional rift, revealing Equestria on the other side. Cracks appeared on the surface below, Twilight waited patiently as she charged magic through her arm, firing at the crack as it got under Sunset's feet. She began tearing more rifts to Equestria, surrounding her with gateways to this alternate world she so desperately wanted to conquer.
In Equestria, Princess Twilight could see the damage the rifts were causing toward Ponyville, Canterlot, Cloudsdale and the Crystal Empire. She had to take a drastic course of action, and leaped through the largest rift she could find, landing on two feet upon crossing dimensions into CHS.
"Well, well, well. Glad you could make it, Princess. And you brought your magic with you too! Hahaha!" Twilight cackled as Sunset rushed over to the Princess of Friendship's side. They both looked up, sizing their adversary and carefully assess the situation. While doing this, one thought crossed Sunset's mind.
"How do you know about the Elements of Harmony?" Sunset yelled as Twilight gave her and her Equestrian counterpart malicious glares. She looked through one rift and saw the Tree of Harmony, along with the Elements. And just like that, her intention was clear.
"Now I will destroy the Tree of Harmony AND the Elements!! Soon, both worlds will tremble before MIDNIGHT SPARKLE!!!"
