Prologue

Sunset Shimmer was finally having a normal life.

It was shortly after the events of the Friendship Games, where Sunset had demonstrated a large amount of power.

Pinkie Pie insisted on having a slumber party. "Truth or dare... Sunset." Pinkie pie asked.

"Truth." Sunset answered.

"Do you have a thing for Twilight?" Pinkie asked.

"No..." Sunset trailed off cautiously. "Riiight." Pinkie said, clearly not believing her.

"What i dont!" Sunset exclaimed starting to get some what annoyed.

The girls were giving her a comical grin. Sunset was starting to get more and more angery with them.

Little did she know her eyes were glowing yellow and red.

"Come on Sunset just admit-" Rainbow was cut off.

"I'M NOT!!" Sunset screamed and the window behind her shattered.

She fainted.

Flames surrounded her, she could feel the emense heat licking at her. "You have avoided it for too long." a booming voice called out to her.

"No..." was all she thought while she looked wildly around. "It must be fulfilled!" the voice screamed.

"NO!!!"

And Sunset Shimmer awoke with a start.

Sunset knew the voice. Celestia warned her this time would come.

Actually, it was one of the reasons she left. Not only was she in thurst for power but a little of her thought everyone would be safe in a world with no magic so she wouldn't fulfill it.

And then the whole, "steal crown." and "raging she-demon." came up and now magic won't LEAVE this world!

And the voice came.

2 weeks later:

Sunset was running, to where? She didn't know. Who was following her? She didn't really know that as well. All she knew was that she had to get away.

There was a trio of girls that showed up, and had that same lust for power Sunset had before as well.

A problematic situation if i do say so myself. Sunset groand. This was the last thing she needed.

Yes, very much so. But you can bully me later. Sunset yelled at the voice.

Hmmm... Nope I'll bother you now. You seem very friendly with those Sirens if i must tell you. The voice said.

Sunset turned around. It was the Dazzling's that had chased her for god knows how long.

But she had realized she lost them. She sighed and went back to school.

Back at school:

Sunset had sat down in the cafeteria and started to eat when she clutched her head in pain.

She was back in the fiery hell. A flaming Phoenix was before her. "Why must you deny me?" it asked. Sunset only stayed quiet.

"You had a thirst for power before... What happened?" it asked.

"I'm in a much better place now!" Sunset snapped.

"Yes you have "Friendship" I've heard. But you don't need them. You can have all the power in the world."

"By killing people and giving them fear? yea no thanks." Sunset said.

"The choice isn't yours darling. It will happen."

"Sunset..."

Sunset heard a voice. But she didn't know who's it was. She was still in shock of what the voice said.

"SUNSET SHIMMER!!"

Sunset heard a banshee scream and was shaken awake.

"Wha--" Sunset stuttered as she shot up.

"You fell asleep darling." Rarity said as she pointed at the flattened sand witch which served a pillow for Sunset's face.

The others sat down.

"The choice isn't mine?" She mumbled.

"What?" Rarity asked.

"Nothing!" Sunset said quickly.

The others nodded and went back to eating.

Sunset couldn't help but wonder what he meant.

As time continued to go on, Sunset felt less and less sure of herself.

In dreams he physically came to her, and when she was awake she could hear his voice, all day long.

"Sunset aren't you going to eat some pizza?" AppleJack asked.

Sunset shook her head, she thought if she ate anything, she would throw it back up.

That night all the girls soon fell asleep.

Sunset was in a endless hall, there were flames roaring on each side.

Sunset saw a door, she started to make her way to it.

When she got there, there was something burned into the door.

"Only one can know my secrets, an oh so special one. When the time comes, they'll know what to do. And finally release the magic within."

Sunset starred at the message. She knew it was for her, and curiosity was pulling at her hard.

She put her hand on the nob and turned.

To her surprize the door opened. She stepped inside.

It was a library. Filled with books of dark and powerful magic.

In the center of it was a small wooden box. Sunset slowly made her way over to it.

There was a golden lock but no key. This is what the message was talking about.

She knew what would eventually happen.

But this magic... It was dark...evil.

Suddenly the floor collapsed from beneath her and she shot up covered in sweat.

She was panting, but luckily woke none of the other girls.

She knew she couldn't let them know, they would be in more danger than they already were just hanging with her.

Sunset spent days wondering about that place in her dreams.

She knew it was just a dream... But that place seemed rather familar to her.

She knew she should not be shoving her friends away like this, but it was the best she could come up with.

She pulled out the book that had her cutie mark on it. It had saved their lives when the Dazzlings were there.

Dear Twilight Sparkle,

Strange things have been happening. Things i can't explain.

Weird dreams, freaky power. My friends are trying to help me, but i want them to back up a little to be safe.

Do you think it's a good idea?

Your Friend,

Sunset Shimmer.

Sunset had a fair guess as to what her friend would say, but there was hope.

Ahhh my little sunshine!! How are you today?

Doing fine till you showed up!

Don't talk to me like that! After all we are friends... And friends do what is best for others.

WE ARE NOT FRIENDS!

Oh aren't we?? I could have waited to show you the library, but i didn't... Because we are the same

You and i are nothing alike!

Oh aren't we. We are both very powerful and skilled in our magic, others couldn't see how great we were meant to be so we were cast out like garbage!

Just go away...

Be prepared for an adventure..

"GO!!" Sunset yelled to no one.

"You alright sugarcube? You were talking to yourself." AppleJack said.

"What? Yea doing great!" Sunset lied.

"Honey are you sure? Your looking a little pale. Maybe you should see the nurse." Rarity said.

Sunset stood up, "nahh i'll be fine. Just need to take a little drive." Sunset said while she grabbed her things. She gave a smile and walked out of the school.

"I don't know about letting her leave..." AJ said.

Sunset sat in the car, she was driving to the apartment she was calling home.

Hello there. So glad your "friends" are gone so we can hang!

And why the hell would i want to hang with you?

Because I'm gonna show you something beautiful

Oh really like what?

Everyone screaming for mercy

Like that will happen

Your going to destroy the world, Sunset. It's written there all over your...evil...face!

"NO!!" Sunset screamed, a truck with a drunk driver speed into the intersection and slammed her car head on.

Sunset flung in her seat before crashing head first into the steering wheel.

I will be free... And you will never be rid of me... My lovely Sunset Shimmer.

That was the last thing Sunset heard before passing out.

(I know it isn't very long but this is what i came up with ok? Ok? You all have a wonderful day! ECS over and out!)
