Arrival-Twilight vs a familiar face

Load Full StoryNext Chapter

It was a dark night with no clouds. A full moon was in the sky, shining it's white light. The light came across a large building. The building was a school actually, with a dark red rectangular roof in the center surrounded by 3 trapezoid shaped smaller ones, two in front, and one in the back. A glass dome with a small castle with a red flag stood on the roof. At the corner of each of the smaller roofs, stood a golden horse statue on one end, with a golden crown statue next to it on the other. The building itself was purple with many windows. In front of the building stood a white statue of a horse, a symbol of the schools honor. Suddenly ripples appeared at the bottom of the statue, and out of the statue two figures emerged, crashing on to the floor. One was a girl. She had light, purple skin with dark purple hair containing a light shade of purple along with pink highlights. She had on a blue shirt with a pink bow on. Her skirt was dark purple and had a large dark pink star on it, surrounded by 4 smaller white ones. Her boots were dark purple, each containing two diamonds, white with a white cross through them. The top of the boots were dark pink, while the bottom were black. She hand on a blue backpack. Along with the girl their was a dog. The dog was light purple, had on a dark blue collar with spikes, with green fur on the top and side of his head. The collar had a gold lock attached to it, which had a light pink heart in the center. Groaning the girl rubbed her head as she rose up.

"Who knew travelling between dimensions could be so uncomfortable?" Twilight asked herself. "Spike, where are you?"

"Here, I am Twilight." Spike said as he also rose up. Twilight, and Spike then both opened their eyes and looked at each other. Both of them screamed.

"Spike, what happened to you?!" Twilight cried. "You're a dog!"

"What about you?!" Spike replied. "I don't even know what you are. You've lost your horn, and your nose is smaller. Plus you're wearing some really weird clothes. And what are those things you're pointing at me with?"

Twilight looked down to see that she now had hands. She gasped in horror.

"What are these?!" Twilight asked, clearly shocked. "What happened to my hooves?" Twilight tried to stand, but she was wobbly on her feet, and she crashed on the ground. Spike meanwhile was adjusting to his new form just fine. He had already mastered walking on all fours. Looking up at him Twilight got on all fours as well.

"Much better." Twilight said.

"Um, Twilight. I think there's something wrong about the way you're trying to walk." Spike said.

"Well, what else am I supposed to do? Walk on two legs?" Twilight asked. Spike shrugged. "But, I think you're right. Something feels wrong about this." Twilight struggled to rise on her new legs, and for a moment she had the hang of it. However she quickly almost fell back down, but Spike helped support her. Twilight sighed.

"This is going to take some getting used to. But what's important is that we find my crown soon. Do you see it anywhere?" Twilight said to Spike as she started to look around.

"Hey Twilight, what's that?" Spike asked, using his paw to point behind Twilight. Twilight turned around, and saw a short sword(Roman Gladius). The blade was dark purple, with a dark pink/light purple hilt. Attached to the hilt was a dark purple symbol in the shape of Twilight's cutie mark. Twilight then bent over, and picked up the Gladius. She then examined it.

"This is weird. This blade looks like it could belong to me, but I didn't bring it with me. Where did it come from?" Twilight said. Suddenly a dark pink aura surrounded the blade, and the star-shaped end started to flash brightly.

"Twilight what's going on?" Spike asked a little worried.

"I don't know. I just picked it up and-." Twilight started to say as from the end of the blade a deep purple blast was shot. The beam shot into the sky, and left a purple twinkle. Twilight, and Spike stared at the sky with shock.

"Uh Twilight?" Spike asked. "What just happened?"

"I have no idea." Twilight responded. "That beam looked like one of my magic blast. But the thing is when I first got here, I didn't feel any magic within me. What's even weirder is that when the blade started to glow, I still didn't feel any magic. It was like something differ-.''

In the sky the moon suddenly started to shine more brightly, almost to blinding levels. Twilight, and Spike covered their eyes. The light stopped shining, and Twilight uncovered her eyes. In front of her floating, was a cloaked(black) figure. In the hood Twilight saw a pair of white eyes, shining.

"Who are you?!" A booming voice said, making Twilight, and Spike flinch.

"(This seems familiar somehow)." Twilight thought to herself.

"Speak now!" The figure said in the same booming voice.

"My name is Twilight Sparkle, and-." Twilight began to say nervously.

"So, Twilight Sparkle, you are the one responsible for the anomaly in the sky." The figure said, interrupting Twilight.  "What is your business here?!"

Twilight was now starting to get scared. She had no idea who this figure was, but their was something intimidatingly familiar about them.

"Well, you see um, I was just trying to-,actually I'm looking-it's kind of a long story-." Twilight was trying to say nervously. As if reacting to how nervous she was the Gladius was starting to glow again.

"Answer me!" The figure said. This startled Twilight, and without warning another beam shot from the Gladius, hitting the figure in the chest, and sending them sprawling across the ground. Both Twilight, and Spike look horrified. The figure groaning, started to rise.

"I'm so sorry!" Twilight said with panic. "I didn't mean to-."

"Silence!" The figure shouted. "It appears you are an enemy. I won't allow you to threaten this school. Prepare yourself for combat!" The figure raised a hand, and out of dark smoke a weapon materialized. It was a large scythe with a handle that was dark blue, and black. The area where the blade emerged had a black symbol with a white crescent moon on it. The blade itself was shining white, and curved like a crescent moon. The figure then charged towards Twilight, and slashed but Twilight ducked. Using the blunt end of the scythe, the figure hit Twilight sending her crashing into the statue. As Twilight started to get up the figure again charged, and swung the blade, but Twilight using the Gladius blocked the blow.

"I'm not here to fight you!" Twilight said.

"Then why did you attack?!" The figure responded with great hostility.

"It was an accident, I swear!" Twilight pleaded.

"A likely story!" The figure said. The scythe then began to glow dark blue, and with another swing, the figure blew Twilight away. Twilight slid, and nearly fell over, but was able to hold her balance. The figure again lunged towards Twilight.

"(If I don't do something, I'm dead!)." Twilight thought to herself. "(How was I able to use those blast? Focus Twilight, and concentrate!). As the figure approached Twilight took a deep breathe, and aimed the end of the Gladius. The Gladius started to glow, and a beam fired from it, which the figure deflected with the scythe, but it did push her back. Twilight then fired more beams which pushed the figure back even more as she deflected them, and kept her on the defensive. Twilight fired another beam, but this time the figure dissipated into black smoke instead of deflecting the beam. Twilight looked around, when black shadows formed behind her, and the figure was behind her. Twilight turned just as the figure swung the scythe. Twilight yelped, and again the Gladius glowed. Before the scythe could make contact, Twilight teleported, and appeared a few feet away from the figure. The figure looked on in curiosity.

"What raw skill you have." The figure commented. "It's a shame you're an enemy."

"But, I'm not an enemy!" Twilight cried. The figure then once again made her scythe glow dark blue. She raised the scythe higher in the air, and more energy started to flow into the scythe, creating a gust of wind that was pushing Twilight back. The sycthe then cacked with dark blue energy. The figure then brought down the scythe and fired a crescent dark blue energy wave at Twilight. The energy wave was huge almost the size of Twilight.Twilight's eyes widened. She wanted to dodge, but she could feel the power in the attack coming to her, and she simply froze partly out of fear, and partly out of admiration for the sheer raw power. The wave grew closer, and closer. Twilight then prepared for impact, when Spike jumped in front of her.

"Twilight!" He cried as he went between Twilight, and the wave. The wave closely approached Spike, and nearly engulfed him.

"Spike, no!" Twilight shouted. Again the Gladius started to glow. Twilight leaped, and grabbed Spike back. As the wave approached both of them, Twilight stuck out the Gladius, and a dark pink energy barrier surrounded both Twilight, and Spike protecting them from the attack. The wave, and the barrier were clashing, creating sparks of pink/dark blue. Twilight was clearly struggling to maintain the barrier. Cracks were starting to appear in it. Twilight was then forced to her knees, and seemed ready to give up. She looked down, and saw Spike was still in her arm, his eyes closed, clearly scared. Wanting nothing more than anything to protect Spike, Twilight rose, and the cracks in the barrier fixed themselves. Twilight then pushed the Gladius foreward, and the energy wave dissipated, also causing the barrier itself to shatter. The figure look on in increased curiosity. Twilight was panting heavily.

"Interesting. Instead of allowing your pet to take the blow, you created a barrier, even though it has clearly drained you, thus decreasing your chances of victory." The figure said.

"Spike is my friend. I would do anything to protect him. The same goes for all of my friends." Twilight said weakly. She was struggling to stand.

The figure then looked at Twilight for a while. She then removed her cloak, revealing her light blue skin, turqoise eyes, and flowing dark blue/light purple hair. Twilight was startled by what she saw.

"Luna?" Twilight said with shock. Twilight then dropped to her knees. Luna then approached Twilight, and looked down at her. Twilight then out of exhaustion crashed to the ground. As Twilight was on the ground, Luna observed her. Spike then leaped out of Twilight's arm, and came in front of her defensively. He growled at Luna. Luna raised her scythe, and Spike although scared, stood his ground. The scythe then vanished into black smoke. Spike had a look of curiosity on his face. Luna bent down in front of both Spike, and Twilight.

"During this battle, both of you have shown great loyalty, and courage." Luna told Spike. "In the case of your master it is also power. I have come to see perhaps she is not the enemy I thought she was. She has intrigued me. But I know someone else who will be even more intrigued by her."

Luna then raised her hand, causing black smoke to envelope her, Spike, and Twilight. The three of them then vanished.

Twilight then opened her eyes weakly, closed them, then opened them more fully. The sun was shining on her. Twilight then rose up. She was lying on a purple couch, covered by a pink blanket. Twilight looked around, and saw she was inside of an office. Right across from her sitting at a desk, was a woman. She had bright white skin, was wearing a yellow jacket with a sun symbol on the right side of it. Her hair was long, and multicolored ranging from green, blue, and pink. Next to her stood Luna who instead of wearing a black cloak, wore a purple shirt with a black crescent moon on the top collar of the shirt, which was white along with a belt over her waist. She had on dark blue pants, and wore pink/white shoes. Twilight then got of the couch. Next to her on the floor sleeping was Spike.

"Celestia?" Twilight said with bewilderment.

"Good morning, Miss Sparkle." Celestia said warmly. "It seems you already know who I am. I take it you also met my sister, Luna." Twilight looked at Luna, and smiled at her nervously.

"From what Luna told me, it looks like both of you had a little "alteration." Celestia said.

"Well, I wouldn't call it a "little" one." Twilight said.

"Miss Sparkle, and I indeed did have a battle." Luna said. "It was entirely my fault, as I attacked under the false pretense that Miss Sparkle was an enemy. I would like to apologize for any damage I have caused you."

"Oh, it's okay." Twilight said. "I mean people mistakenly try to kill each other all the time, am I right?"

"Still, based on what Luna told me, this seems to have been a beneficial experience." Celestia said. "After all she was able to see that you are a person who is of great virtue, and potential."

"You don't need to say that." Twilight said. "I'm nothing special."

"On the contrary, I would say you're more than special. Even though you were clearly inexperienced you held your own fairly well against me." Luna said. "Plus despite your disadvantage you still put your pet's safety over your own."

"What Luna is trying to say is that, Twilight you have exceptional qualities. Qualities which would be greatly welcome at my school. Would you like to enroll?" Celestia asked.

Twilight was shocked at the offer. This certainly brought back memories with her own Celestia. But before she should accept, she should try to figure out more about this world.

"Prince-er I mean Miss Celestia, I'm flattered by your offer, but before I accept, I just have some questions." Twilight said. "What is the story behind your school?"

Celestia smiled at Twilight. "It's rare I have to answer a question like this." Celestia said, making Twilight blush with embarrassment. "But I do enjoy explaining the purpose."

"Miss Sparkle, in this world individuals posses a power inside of them called Mana. It flows through them, and is the principle of life. Certain people can tap deep into it, and unleash extraordinary abilities. People can use them for good or for evil. In my case, my school aims to teach young people with this gift to use it for good, and to better the world." Celestia explained.

"(Just like my Celestia)." Twilight thought.

"Thus Canterlot Academy serves this purpose. It also teaches students how to channel their Mana in a medium like that Gladius of yours for proper control, and usage. It effectively becomes an extension of one's individual power." Celestia said. Twilight looked on Celestia's desk to see the Gladius lying there. "Does this quench your curiosities?"

"(That explains everything. The weird powers I've been manifesting, and the appearance of that blade. Entering this world must have caused me to have taken in the properties inherent in it.)" Twilight thought.

"Miss Sparkle, what will your answer be?" Celestia asked.

"(I need to find Sunset Shimmer as soon as possible. Since the portal brought me here, theirs a good chance she's a student here as well. If so I need to understand as much as I can in order to stop her, as if what this Celestia said is true, Sunset must also have her own abilities, which would make things even more complicated."). Twilight thought deeply. "Yes, I would like to enroll."

"Splendid." Celestia said pleased. "I'll call you in later in order to clear up some more issues. For now you are dismissed. Oh, and by the way pet's are not allowed on campus. I'll let it slide for today, but please be more considerate next time."

Twilight nodded. She then picked up Spike, and the Gladius. She then exited out of the office.

"(All right, Twilight, time to carry out your mission.)" Twilight thought to herself.
