Demise in Equestria

Twilight Sparkle:

I had to find out what the mystery of what that voice was talking about. I had to take back that which was stolen by Demise. ...What did that mean? I had to find my friends, but HOW this place was huge. I saw a spark from the corner of my eye, down the hall to my right. I ran to it, it seemed to take longer to get into view than I thought. As I got close I could see it was etchings into a stone wall. The walls got narrow the closer I got, until I had to squeeze in just to get close enough to see it. It was like one of the mirrors at Canterlot Castle where Celestia once held the Elements of Harmony. Only the pictures were those I had never seen.

Three pictures of shadows were at the top. Below that they seemed to be destroyed by two powerful alicorns. They were each defeated differently. The smallest shadow, seemed to be cowering beneath the hooves of one. Another was being blasted away by a powerful magical energy. And the biggest shadow, it was strange but I got the feeling the two alicorns had to sacrifice themselves to imprison it. Was it Demise that they had imprisoned. No, this one looked different, the big one was much more brutal looking. That one must have been Sin from my book.

Demise seemed to resemble more like the small one. What did it mean, was it a clue? I would have to find the others to discuss it with them. I pulled out of the narrow hallway and continued to look. After a few twists and turns I was about to take a rest, my hooves were getting tired.

"Twilight?" I turned around and saw Fluttershy and Rarity standing behind me.

Rarity:

It was a strange colts voice that echoed through the hallway. I wasn't sure but it sounded like it was telling me to find my friends. Began to set off, but my eye was caught be a small flash of light. It wasn't a jewel, my horn didn't notify me of it's presence. I trotted in for a closer look. It was a stone wall, it showed what looked like our six cutie marks in a circle within a big shadow that looked like that nasty Demise character. What was it for though, I wondered. Had he collected us within himself, was that why we were in this tacky building with out of style staircases. I had no idea what was going on but turned around and bumped into Fluttershy. She shreiked with fright, poor thing, dark places really weren't her thing.

"Oh, it's just you Rarity." she said, "I didn't expect to see anypony else in here"

"Well darling I heard some voice that said I was supposed to find my friends, and apparently take back what that aweful Demise has stolen" I rambled on, begining to talk as I strut, "can you belive the audacity of that thing stealing from me."

"Rarity do you think it's a good idea to be wandering around here?" she whispered.

"Why yes darling how else are we going to find the others, if YOUR here than so are the others." I explained to her. She seemed to agree with me she followed until we bumped into Twilight.

"Twilight?" I said, seeing my friend.

Fluttershy:

I heard a voice that seemed to tell me that I had to take back what Demise had stolen and to defeat him from within. I didn't understand what it ment. I didn't move, this place was dark. Then I saw a flash of light from the corner of my eye. A wall at the end of a hallway, I walked closer to it. As I got close I could see it had etchings of some kind of images. When I got close enough I could see what they were. The top image was that of Twilight, myself and Rarity. The next one down was Rainbow Dash, Applejack and Pinkie. The others at the bottom had their eyes closed, as if they were trapped. Were we supposed to find them, where were they? I turned around and began to turn corners until I saw Rarity. I told her I didn't think this place was safe but she said that there was no other way to find the others if we didn't look. We walked around a bit until we found Twilight wandering around as well.

"Twilight?" Rarity said getting her attention.

The Trials Begin:

"What happened?" I asked them, I knew they wouldn't know but I had to ask.

"I don't know darling but I heard this voice that said-" she was cut off.

"I heard it too!" Fluttershy agreed.

"Me too," I agreed, "It said we had to find what Demise stole."

"Then find our friends without loosing ourselves." Rarity continued.

"And defeat Demise from within himself" Fluttershy finnished.

We had all heard the same thing, "Well I also saw a big block with images on it."

"I as well saw the same." Rarity said.

"Me too." Fluttershy said.

We explained what we had all seen, I tried to piece it togther they had to have some kind of connection.

"It sounds like..." I began trying to not have it sound crazy, "I think the other three are being held in a different location, we have to find them."

"Well that exlpains MY wall but what about Rarity's?" Fluttershy said.

"Well Rarity said that our six cutie marks were in the middle of a big shadow, on my wall there were three shadows. I believe they depicted the three Entites: Hate, Demise and Sin. I think the one in Rarity's was Demise, maybe our cutie marks were our Elements. It could explain why they didn't work against him, if he stole them then we couldn't have had them to use against him."

"But how in Equestria could he have stolen our Elements?" Rarity said.

"Well he may not have done it on purpouse." I said the news shocked them, "He may have absorbed our Elements and corrupted us when he fed off of our sadness." I explained to them. "It could also explain why Pinkie, Rainbow and AJ are trapped." They all listened, "I think because Demise hit THEM harder maybe this is just a manifestation of our feelings inside of him. Some kind of force put us in his mind, but our emotions are the driving force of solving the puzzle." I kept on explaining. "If the other three, felt like because of what Demise did they have nothing left, then inside of him they're imprisoned. The only ones who can find them are us, but we have to stay strong." I told them, "Like that voice said we can't loose ourselves, you all remembered what happened last time when Discord tried to seperate us, Demise tried the same thing." It was a strange situation we were in.

"But Twilight what about YOUR wall?" Fluttershy said.

"I'm not sure..." I told them, "I guess we'll just have to figure that one out later. Right now we have some friends to find common girls." we set off down the only hall that wasn't blocked by a sideways staircase.

Raibow Dash, Applejack, and Pinkie Pie:

I woke up and saw that I had a shackle around my ankle. I unfurled my wings and tried to fly up, my chain jerked my back down. I slammed down hard.

"Y'ok sugercube?" I heard my friend say. I looked over and saw Applejack to my left. I smiled and nodded.

"Where are we?" I asked getting up and rubbing my head.

"Wherever we are it's really really really dark." Pinkie said to my right.

"Ah think it may have somethin' ta do with that." AJ said pointing a hoof at the only wall that was illuminated in the whole joint. It was too dark to see anything. At least we had enough chain to get close enough to see it.

The picture at the top showed a pillar much like when we first got our Elements, we surrounded it. The one below that was us using our Elements to destroy a big shadow. What the hay was this all about some other prophecy? I needed Twilight for some answers that was for sure.

"Ah don't like the looks of this." AJ said.

"Why not?" I asked.

"Seems ta me like we gotta figure out a few puzzles ta git outta here."

I looked to my right, Pinkie seemed to be a little better now.

"Well whatever happens I'll be there for you guys, ok?" I told them, "I'll never let my friends down."

Whatever was ahead of us I had to help them get us through it.

Demise:

I was already the king of this land. The fires atop the buildings flickered before my eyes. Ah, the beautiful sight of destruction. The wonderous veiw of seeing the lives of others' years of hard work being destroyed in seconds. It filled my heart. HA, who was I kidding I had no heart, as an Entite I was in no need of organs. All I needed was my wit, and my power. Not even the great leaders of this land Luna or Celestia dared to challenge me. I would hunt down and kill them later. For now I held the bodies I collected, I watched the blood drip from them. One red stallion, one purple dragon. These two defied me first. The only ones, what did they want, why was it only them? I took no concern, it was time to feed on the others. I looked down at my subjects all bowing to me. I laughed atop my burning throne made up of all of their homes.

They had lost everything, and I had gained the power that was rightfully mine. It was good, but I couldn't shake the thought that something was strange about those six, where were the bodies. They couldn't possibly take me down, the Elements of Harmony was what they used against me. Little did they know that all they held was shells, the power was accidentally drained by me when I fed on them. I lifted my hand, five orbs came out. I rotated them between my hands. That's right, I had only fed on five of them, only one had her Element. I shrugged, she could keep it. Now that they were gone there was nothing in the world that could stop me. I laughed out loud, my subjects all flinched at the sudden burst of loud sound.
