Twilight and Fluttershy were on their way out of the forest when they heard cries of an animal in distress. They ran as fast to find the animal in distress when they noticed that the cries had stopped as suddenly they were heard. This made them run faster than they ever ran before. About five minutes later, they found what was making the sounds they heard. It was a baby alicorn. The colt had lost conciousness and ... his breathing became eratic. Twilight created a force field that stopped the wind and rain from reaching the already very sick colt. They ran so fast as to make rainbow dash envious. They went to the hospital to get the sick colt emergency medical help. The doctors hooked up the baby colt faster than ever to help him quick. Twilight and Fluttershy had been crying ever since they were told to wait in the lobby. The doctor came out and told them the sad news. The colt might not make it through the night. This news brought a whole new flood of tears ran from the loving eyes of the ponies that rescued him. Their cries which reached the trees who passed it on to Zecora who hurried to the hospital with a healing potion for the sick colt. When she arrived, Twilight and Fluttershy heard a familiar voice. Zecora said" Now my little ponies dry your tears for Zecora knows the object of your fears. I have brought a potion with me to help cure the colt". She went in and gave him the medicine she made. When she walked out of the room they heard a long steady beat. This sound caused them all to cry very hard. Then the real magic happened when Twilight and Fluttershy began to glow brightly this type of magic combined with Zecora's medicine brought the colt back to life. Twilight ran into the room after she heard the beeping of the machine again and not the long steady beep. Twilight blacked out as well as Fluttershy and were put in the same room as the colt. They wanted to keep an eye on all of them because of the use of the magic that made Twilight black out while Fluttershy simply feinted. Four days later Twilight woke up and found the baby colt asleep right beside her. She never felt such joy and excitement before and she wished it would only get better. Her wish was granted because when she finished making her wish, the baby colt opened his eyes and said one word"mommy". Twilight was so happy that the colt was still alive that she calledin a doctor who ran so fast that he was out of breath when he arrived at Twilights bedside to find that the colt was sleeping right beside Twilight. Twilight then proceeded to tell the doctor when the colt woke up he called her mommy. The doctor was extremely surprised at this statement. Then a huge grin came across his face when he saw Twilight glow as if she was the sun and her smile made her glow all the brighter. Zecora came by to check on Twilight and the colt after they were released from the hospital. Twilight asked Zecora "why would someone leave a defenseless baby colt in the middle of the Everfree Forest?". Zecora then proceeded to tell Twilight that some parts that are outside Equestria had cruel customs that they do to babies that are different or deformed. After Zecora finished the story, she held the baby colt tighter to her chest as if afraid someone would take him from her. Zecora looked upon this sight and said with a smile" you will be a good mother but you may have problems call upon your friends in times of need they will help you with any deed." with those last few words said Zecora disappeared. Twilight thought to herself " Zecora is kinda scary when she does that." After that errant thought she noticed that there was a bag full of jars of medicine, the same medicine rhat Zecora gave the colt at the hospital along with instructions on how to use it.

While in the state of raw power, Celestia and Luna felt the power surge and hurried back to Twilight. When they arrived, they saw that Crystal was out of his self induced coma and was now sleeping peacefully while Twilight had blacked out on the floor.

Storm of the ages and a new dawn
Three weeks later, Twilight and Crystal were allowed to leave the hospital. Twilight's strong sense of hatred towards Crystal's assailants and protection of her colt grew stronger and stronger yet. Two weeks after they were allowed to leave the hospital, they ran into Crystal's assailants in the town square. Twilight looked at her colt and saw only pure terror in his eyes. This made Twilight angry enough to change into her raw magic form. While the assailants advanced towards them, Twilight began to cast a spell that made them stop dead in their tracks and question why they were there. But the spell did not phase the assailants for very long for they were soon advancing again. This made Twilight forget herself and gave each assailant the same injuries as they gave Crystal. They screamed in terror and in pain. Twilight blacked out and began to fall from the sky from where she had been in her raw power form. Crystal flew faster than Rainbowdash to save his mom. Crystal then hurried to the hospital to get his mother some treatment. Crystal had stayed by her bed to watch over her while she slept. She seemed at peace while she slept but once while watching over her, Crystal saw his mother glow a mixture of blood red and lavender purple. He screamed in terror and called for a doctor and five minutes later a doctor came running in. He saw Twilight and did everything he could to help her. Crystal then called upon Zecora for help. She immediately set off for ponyville to get to the hospital. Zecora collected a few viles of blood from twilight to study and see what ails her dear friend. What Zecora found was that Twilight had found new powers which had corrupted her true powers. Zecora made a potion to heal Twilight that cancelled out the magic's effect. Zecora had also discovered that the spell was cast upon her by a magician much more powerful than her. What displeased Zecora most of all was that someone had intended the spell to kill Twilight and Crystal. Crystal was not effected because of his genetic mutations. Twilight was effected differently than intended because she was very powerful. Zecora gave Twilight the potion through a medical I.V. This was done so because everypony was worried that it would choke her
if swallowed. The doctors were greatly impressed with her knowelledge of healing remedies and herbs. Applejack took care of Crystal while Twilight was in the hospital. Celestia heard about Twilght and became afraid for the life of her student and her colt. Celestia had ordered some of her personal guards to watch over the family. Twilight made a full recovery. She was allowed to leave the hospital a few days later. When Twilight got back home, she discovered her colt was now closer to becoming a stallion. This made her so proud it brought tears to her eyes. When Crystal finally saw her, he litterally flew into her arms with tears rolling down his face. When Pinky Pie came to visit, she asked"you know what this calls for? A party."
The party was like a very long one because it lasted for two days. Everypony had so much fun that they wished it didnt have to end. But like all good things, it must come to an end. The way the party ended was one that made everypony scared of Twilight.
Storm of the ages and a new dawn
While the party was still going, Twilight went around the room and talked with everypony. While in the middle of a conversation, two colts came up to her with a note in an envelop. When Twilight finished reading the note, she started to levitate an object contained with in the note. A piece of Crystal's tail. This was the final straw for Twilight. Twilight began to levitate and glow a very deep red, the color of blood. This terrified all of the ponies in the room. Spike summoned Celestia to help Twilight calm down, but she was in consolable. Celestia and Luna saw what was on the ground and became very very angry. They vowed to anihlated. Everypony saw what was laying on the ground and began a search party. The only thing that made them even angrier was that it was signed by a group of unknown origins and size. The group only wanted the elements of harmony but what they were soon to get would be much more powerful and much more dangerous. When the search party finally found Crystal, he was beaten pretty badly and near death. When he saw Twilight, he said" I love you mom" and it was with those last few words that Crystal had died. Twilight wept for a few minutes and then moved on to the killers. She walked out where they could all see her and spoke to them. Her voice was a deep monotone filled with power. They began to charge her and she began to glow. While in her raw magic state, she killed everyone of the groups members except the kids. With this done, she left all the bodies lying around. When they went to get Crystal's body, they discovered that it was levitating on a bright light. Crystal's body became like crystal and his cutie mark became the darkest shade of black. When the group got home, they discovered Crystal was alive again. This brought tears of joy to everypony around. Twilight then kissed his brow and gave him a big hug. Twilight then asked him what he thought about living in Canterlot for awhile. Crystal said sure but asked if Applejjack and our other friends could visit us. Twilight said yes and could stay as long as they like. This made Crystal the happiest alicorn in all of equestria. Twilight and her friends figured out his true name at his smile. They told him " Crystal, we believe we have figured out your true name. We believe it is Aurora after the northern lights. During the transformation, Aurora's eyes tured blue and seemed to glow as if they had an inner fire. Now Aurora was even more powerful than any pony ever.
Storm of the ages and a new dawn
Aurora and Twilight became even stronger through their ordeal a year earlier. They decided that they needed to go on a vacation. The only problem was where to go. It became clear that no single place would do, so they decided to visit several places. They decided on visiting Manehattan, Apploosa, Canterlot, and Fillydelphia.
They also decided to take their friends along. So the journey began. Operation: Vacation was now on. Apple Jack, Applebloom, Rarity, Sweetybelle, Rainbow Dash, Scootaloo, Fluttershy, Twilight, Aurora, and Spike set out.
They brought sunscreen, food, tents, and pretty much everything else you would want or need on vacation.
First stop was at Canterlot to visit the princesses. The group that was annihilated, their children began it again. As soon as Celestia said that, Twilight's eyes blazed red with inner fire. The princesses decided that a few guards should accompany them.
Celestia chose Shining Armor, Silver Swiftwings, and Bronze Shield. Twilight began to fear for her son. These ponies are trying to kill him again and while they're on vacation. When done talking with the princesses, Twilight returned to the group. She looked for her son. And ran frantically to try to find him when he was not in the group.
When Twilight found Aurora, he was beaten unconscious and his attackers were still there telling him to get up. They kept kicking him. Twilight began to see all different shades of red. She charged at his attackers. She gored one throught the gut and used magic to hold the other while the gored attacker lay dying. She turned and looked at the attacker caught in her spell. Celestia and Luna came and saw what had transpired there. They tried. To calm her down but Twilight was in her raw power state and she had bloodlust. Shining Armor knocked out his sister so they can get the attacker.
Next day when Twilight woke up, she tried to walk to the door. She collapsed in a heap with a thud. They heard it and ran to check to see if Twilight was ok. They saw her and ran to her aid. When she one again regained consciousness, she asked why there was blood on her horn. They told her she gored one of her son's attackers. That brought her memory back. She asked about Aurora and the said he was in the hospital. She jumped and ran to the medical wing. The sight that befell her was an all to familiar site and one she had hoped she didn't have to see again.
