When he came down stairs, Ember Blaze just got back from the Castle after helping Princess Celestia raise the sun. They greeted each other and sat down on the dining room. "Let me make breakfast this time." Moonlight said with a wink. Ember just smile and nodded. Out of nowhere, two plates carrying stacks of pancakes appeared at their table. They both ate their breakfast. After their breakfast, the plates that was carrying pancakes that was eaten, disappeared in an instant. They both got out of their home and walked towards the train station. "I can't wait to get to Ponyville, it's been a while since we last came." Ember said excitedly. "It has been a while." Moonlight said with a frown. "Hey what's wrong?" She asked with a look on concern. "It's nothing important." He lied. But Ember wasn't buying it. "Don't try to lie bro, we're connected to each other remember?" She said with a gaze. "Yeah I know, it's just that it's been years since we lost our parents, and the fact that our friends don't know our life before we were friends with them." He said in a frown face. Ember hugged Moonlight in hopes to cheer him up. He just hugged back with a small smile. "I know what it feels, I kinda miss our parents too. But even they're alive right now, i know that they are so proud of us getting this far in our lives." She replied with a smile after she stopped hugging. Moonlight didn't say anything but smiled back. They boarded the train to Ponyville. When the train stopped, Moonlight and Ember saw their friends waiting on the station. They were greeted by a hello and hugs and Pinkie's party cannon shooting Confetti's. "I'm glad you guys made it, so what's happening in Canterlot?" Twilight Sparkle asked. "Nothing much, it's just another day in Canterlot I suppose." Ember replied. "Unless Discord makes a mess again. You wouldn't believe what happened last time." She added. Twilight shook her head and turned to Moonlight. "How about you Moonlight, got anything special to do?" She asked. Moonlight shook his head and said. "Not much, just the regular daily job of being a batpony in the night. He replied. Everyone except Twilight and Ember was confused of what Moonlight said. "Now hold on there, so your telling us that you're that batpony who was flying above Ponyville every night? Applejack asked. Which Moonlight nodded. "Well then, why is it that you look like a pegasus right now? Are you a changeling or something?" Rainbow dash asked nearing her face to Moonlight's. "First of all, yes I'm the batpony in the night. Second, no I'm not a changeling." Moonlight replied. "Then why do you look like a normal pegasus dear?" Rarity asked in shock. "Look before I explain any further, we should go back to Twilight's castle. That way we can start talking on the personal life." He said. Which everyone agreed. When they reached the Castle in Ponyville, they entered inside the throne room. Inside they saw Spike and Starlight looking on the map of Equestria for friendship problems. When they stepped in, they greeted each other. "Hey there Starlight, Spike." Moonlight greeted both of them. "Hey Moonlight." They both replied. "Starlight!!! Spike!!!" Ember screamed and gave them both a bone crushing hug. Everyone started to chuckle even Moonlight. "Hello...Ember...could you please put us down?" Starlight asked. Which she agreed and put them down. "Sorry, it's just I'm so happy to see you two. I miss you guys!" She replied. "We miss you too. Next time please don't break us in half with your hug." Spike said. "Sure thing." She happily agreed. "Ok, so now that's out of the way. Moonlight, please do explain why are you a pegasus today and a batpony at night dear?" Rarity asked again. Moonlight sighed and said. "Ok,look you may have know me and Ember from the Princesses. But the truth is... I have magic." He said. Which made everyone confused. Until Rainbow Dash started to laugh hard. "That was a greatest story a pegasus would say!" She said while still laughing. Then out of nowhere Rainbow Dash was trapped inside a bubble that can't be popped easily. Everyone were shock at disbelief at what just happened. "Put her down brother, she may now believe of what you said." Ember said to her brother. Then out of nowhere the bubble disappeared and everyone was shocked at disbelief once more. "D-did you just d-do t-that?" Fluttershy asked Moonlight. Which he simply nodded. "I don't understand, I thought unicorns and alicorns can only use magic." Rarity said in disbelief. "Our life has much more story than meets the eye." Moonlight said. Everyone exchanged glances until Twilight broke the silence. "So not only you can turn into a batpony at night, but you can use magic as well?" She asked. "Pretty much." Moonlight replied. There was a silence inside the room. Until Moonlight broke the silence. "It's almost night time, I guess I should show you my batpony form." He said. As the moon rises, Moonlight was covered in a black sphere. When the sphere disappeared, everyone except Twilight, Ember, Spike, and Starlight was shocked of what they saw. Moonlight's hair color turned dark blue colored from his normal blue color, his eyes changed into a snake like eyes. His feathered wings turned into a leathered skin bat wings. They were afraid when they saw Moonlight's batpony form for the first time. But Twilight and Ember tried to calm them down. "It's okay girls, he may be a batpony but he's the same Moonlight we know and loved." She said. "It's just fine, all ponies are all like this when they first see him in his night form." Ember added. Little by little they approached Moonlight carefully. Until Moonlight spoke. "I'm not dangerous, I'm just like this every night." He said while looking on the moon. After that he sighed. "Look, only Princess Celestia and Princess Luna knows about our past lives. Maybe now is the perfect time for you girls know it too." He added. Everyone nodded and started to listen to what he is about to say. He look at Ember which she gave him a nod. He sighed and start telling them the story.

Part 1-The BeginningThe sun was shining brightly, Moonlight woke up and groaned about waking up early. He looked at the sun and said. "Why is the sun shines this bright?" He said when he turned and walk towards the door. When he walked downstairs, he saw his mom at the kitchen, making breakfast. His dad was getting ready for work. His mother's name is Green Ash. She's a pegasus mare who works in clearing the weather, His father was called Crimson Knight. A unicorn stallion who was part of the royal guards. Moonlight dreamed of being a royal guard when he grow up so he can help and protect ponies like his dad. "Good morning Moonlight. Are you ready for your first day of school?" Green asked when she turned to Moonlight with a smile. He smiled back and said. "Yes, mom. I can't wait to get started." He replied in excitement. Green and Crimson just smiled when he was jumping in excitement. "Don't forget son, you and Ember should go to school together." Crimson reminded. "Oh yeah, I'll wake her up." He replied. He ran back upstairs and stopped outside of Ember's room. Ember is a unicorn who's almost the same age as his brother. He knocked at the door and yelled. "Wake up, sleepy head! First day of school is today. You don't want to miss it." He yelled. He heard a groan inside the room and the door was opened by magic. Ember is always studying magic. She already know levitation spell. When she opened the door she said. "Five more minutes please, I'm kinda tired." She said softly then she yawned and gone back to sleep. "But your gonna be late if you don't wake up now." Moonlight reasoned. Only to heard a groan as a reply. "Ugh, that's it!" He said. Then he pulled the blanket of Ember with his mouth and ran downstairs, with Ember's blanket still in his mouth. "Hey, give that back!" She shouted then chased Moonlight downstairs. When she stopped, she saw Moonlight and her parents sitting beside each other on the dining room. "Oh morning Ember, come take a seat and start eating your breakfast." Green suggested. Ember sighed and sat beside her mother, with Moonlight and her dad on the other end. When breakfast was finished, Moonlight and Ember took their saddlebags and walked together to school When school was over, Moonlight was thrilled with his first day, he made a new friend named Lox Wing. Lox Wing is a Pegasus who does most of the time reading books about inventions and science. Moonlight didn't care, he's just happy he got a friend in his first day. Unlike Ember, who had a rough day. She has been getting bullied because she doesn't have a cutie mark. However, Moonlight never let that happen to his sister. Even when he took the place of Ember getting bullied. He doesn't care, he ignores them just like they were nothing. 10 years later, Ember was turning 15. Her family was happy for their children to get this far with no trouble. Moonlight changed over the years, turning from a very happy and excited filly into a silent but calm stallion. Ember changed as well, from a nervous and sensitive foal into a happy and smart unicorn who learned a lot of spells, including teleportation. She and Lox Wing had the chance to know each other. She even made friends with a unicorn stallion named Shadow Storm and an earth pony mare named Softspot, whose the same age as her. While everyone else was enjoying the party, Moonlight remained in his room reading a book near the window where the light of the moon was shining on his book so he can see. He smiled and look at the moon. "That's why I liked the moon, instead of shining a hot and blind ray like the sun, the moon shines a ray of light that is just perfect for reading books." He said. Then he closed the book and returned it to his bookshelves. He stood near the window while looking at moon again. He closed his eyes and sighed. When he opened his eyes, he opened the window and fly out of his room. Ever since he first learned how to fly in flight school at Cloudsdale, every night he flies above Canterlot and finds a spot in a small hill nearby. When he landed, he sat there and the silence grew. He was sitting there, closing his eyes, feeling the cold breeze the night gives. There's more silence, then he suddenly heard a rustling behind him. He turned and couldn't believe of what he saw. "Why are you here, little one? Are you lost." The figure said in a feminine voice. Moonlight can't see the figure very well due to the darkness. "I'm sorry if I bothered somepony, I was just here thinking." He tried to tried to explain, but the figure stopped him. "It's alright my subject. You have nothing to fear." The figure said. Then it walked towards Moonlight slowly. Moonlight was looking at the figure when she was walking towards him. He then examined the figure. Then when he realized who it was, he gasped and bowed. "Princess Luna, I didn't know it was you." He said still bowing. "I see great things happen to you, Moonlight Sparks. You have a noble and gentle heart. And I know why your here." Luna said. "You do?" He asked still bowing. "Yes, but before i tell you. You may rise." She said. Moonlight stand up. "I know how you favor the night, Moonlight. I appreciate it." She said. "If only I could repay you by making your dream come true. One day I will." She said. "Now if you excuse me, I must go back to the palace." She added. Before she left, Moonlight stopped him. "Wait Princess." He said. Luna turned to Moonlight. "Will I see you again?" He asked. Luna smiled and said. "Only time will tell, Moonlight. Only time will tell." She replied before leaving Moonlight on the hill. Author's Note Part 1 is done. Sorry if it took long I was busy with other stuff.

Part 2-The IncidentAfter his encounter with Princess Luna, he couldn't stop thinking of what she meant of repaying him. After a long night, he flew back to his room. On the way, he saw Lox Wing and the rest of Ember's friends walked out of there house and parted ways. When he landed slowly inside his room, he closed the door and walked out of his room and headed downstairs. When he walked inside the dining room, he saw his parents and Ember cleaning up the mess after her party was over. "Let me help you, dad." He said when he grabbed a broom. Crimson just smiled and walked towards Green and whispered. "We should give them some privacy." He whispered. Green nodded in agreement and walked towards Moonlight and Ember and said. "Me and your father are heading up first. You two should finish cleaning the mess before you go back to sleep." She said. They gave her a nod in agreement. Green smiled then walked upstairs towards their room, Crimson followed after saying goodnight. "You guys really made a mess, didn't you?" Moonlight smiled with a smirk. Ember rolled her eyes and said. "At least I'm not the pegasus who was on his room all night reading a book." She responded with a grin. Moonlight wanted to respond back by saying she met Princess Luna in person, but he doesn't want anypony knowing of his secret hiding spot. So he said nothing and continued on cleaning the mess. After cleaning the birthday mess, Ember waved goodnight and teleported to her room. Moonlight sighed and headed towards his room. When he was ready to sleep. He look at the moon one more time before drifting to his dream. In his dream, he was flying while doing tricks and every time he does it, his agility and reflexes improves. When he was about to go another run, he saw the shadow figure he saw in the hill. He realized who it was and bowed. "Greetings Princess, why are you in my dream?" He greeted and asked. Luna smiled and raise a hoof signaling to rise and said. "As the princess of the night, it's my duty to dream walk into anyponies dream, destroying the nightmares and giving a happy and colorful dream." She replied. "So, this is what the time tells huh? We meet in my dream world." He said following with a sigh. "Indeed, but I have a message for you, Moonlight. Tomorrow after the moon shines, an incident will occurs near your home. You must becareful, Moonlight Sparks. You never know what will happen." Luna warned Moonlight before walking towards the moon. After a bright flash, she was nowhere to be seen. That dream woke Moonlight. He was recalling of what happened. Then lies back to his bed before fully sleep. When morning came, Moonlight yawned and walked downstairs. He was still thinking about Luna's warning, but he didn't mind that for now. He sat on the chair in the dining when Crimson walked out of the kitchen while levitating four plates of stacked pancakes. "Morning, dad." Moonlight greeted him. He smiled and said. "Morning, son. Your up early, do you have any plans for today?" He asked. He slowly put down the plates in the table. "Just gotta exercise my wings a bit." Moonlight replied with a smile. Crimson smiled back. "I see." He said. Then Green walked out of the kitchen and headed to sit on the chair. "Morning, Moonlight." She greeted with a smile. "Morning, mom." He greeted her with a smile. Out of nowhere, Ember appeared in her table. She was already seated and ready to eat breakfast. "Hi mom, hi dad, hi bro." She greeted with excitement. This made her parents giggle, except for Moonlight, he rolled his eyes and greeted her. "Your really excited today." Green said. "Yup, I can't wait to go to princess Celestia's school for gifted unicorns." Ember replied. "How about you, Moonlight? Got anything on use for your wings there." Crimson said while levitating some pancakes. "Not much. I wanted to try out on the flying academy, but I don't think I really have the time." He said before biting another pancake. "Why is that? Most of the time, you get up early and started flying. Then you come back here at noon and walked back to your room and slept. When you wake up it's almost nighttime. Then you started reading some book and flew again out of your window in the middle of the night." Crimson explained. "How did you know I was flying in the middle of the night?" Moonlight asked in shock. "Cause, were your parents. It's parental instinct, and because I saw you flying out of your window." Crimson replied. Moonlight sighed and said. "I'm sorry if I didn't tell you I just-" He was stopped by Crimson, who hugged him. Then Ember and Green walked to them and joined their hug. "It's okay, Moonlight. You have your reasons for not telling us." Green said in a calm, motherly voice. He smiled and they let go of their hug. "Besides, it is a good practice when you've become into a royal guard one day." Crimson said in a chuckle. They all burst of laughter. When they stopped, Ember is the first speak. "Um, not to ruin the moment everypony but. WERE GONNA BE LATE!!!" She screamed. Then Green realized she's almost late for work. After a quick goodbye, she flew out of their house as fast as her wings can carry. Crimson put on his armor while Ember hurriedly packed her saddlebag and they both galloped as far their legs can carry out towards their destination. Leaving Moonlight puzzled. He quickly took the plates and put them carefully on the kitchen sink. After that, he walked outside and inhaled the breeze and exhaled. He extended his wings and started flying. First he was flying above Canterlot, he even saw Green with the weather team, Ember saw Moonlight and gave him a wave. He saw Ember waving at him, he waved back before turning towards Ponyville. He never flew above Ponyville, even the everfree forest. But when he did, he was happy. He never flew as fast as he did when he was in flight school. He landed on a hill next to the everfree forest and took a quick nap near the tree. However, when he woke up, it was almost nighttime. He was shocked that he was going to be late for dinner, and his parents might be worried. He flew as fast his wings can carry him. When he reached Canterlot, he was in shock at disbelief of what he saw. Canterlot is in chaos, with the work of a lord of chaos, Discord made Canterlot into a complete chaos he wanted. There Moonlight saw his family near their home, he saw Crimson was facing Discord. He believe that he can beat Discord, or at least buy the Princesses some time to get the elements of harmony. Moonlight was still hovering in the sky, seeing his father stepping up to Discord where most ponies cower in fear. His father is none of those ponies. He smiled and in tears. Now he know what his reasons are when he dreamed of being a royal guard. So he can be brave and protect ponies like his father. But that tears of joy turned into sorrow when Crimson was strucked with a magic blast from Discord. He groaned in pain. Seeing this wanted Moonlight to fly over there and protect him. But he stopped when he saw the two royal sisters flying towards Discord. With Moonlights experience in flying, he calculated that they wouldn't make it in time. So just when Discord was about to hit another magic blast to Crimson, Moonlight tackled Crimson, evading Discord's attack. "Moonlight...what are you...doing here? Go get your sister and mother out of here." Crimson ordered. "I can help!" He responded. "No! Its too dangerous! Get out of here while you can!" Crimson ordered once more. "No! The princesses are almost here! They can make it if we distract a little longer." He said. "Now what is this? Your son? For a pegasus, you've got guts. I'll give you that." Discord said while looking at the both of them. "But that won't help you at all." He added. Then he burst out an evil laught. Then suddenly, something hit him in the back. He turned and find no one there, then he was hit in the back once more. Then he realized Moonlight was smiling. "What are you smiling at?" He asked furiously. "For a lord of chaos, you don't have much reaction on your surroundings." Moonlight replied. Then Discord was charging up another magic blast, Moonlight disappeared. Discord turned to his left and right to see if Moonlight was there. "Hello." Moonlight said when he was knocking on Discord's head. Discord was irritated and throws the magic blast above him. Then he realized that Moonlight wasn't there anymore. "Where are you?" Discord was furious. He thinked of an idea on how to lure Moonlight. He disappeared and reappeared behind Ember and Green. They were shocked and was too late to run away. Discord grabbed both of them. "Don't you hurt them, Discord!" Moonlight demanded. Discord chuckled and said. "Oh, I won't. All you need to do is stop and I'll set them free." Discord demanded. Moonlight agreed and landed near Crimson, who was still healing his wounds using his magic. Discord teleported Green and Ember near them. Then he made a wicked grin. Then he charge a magic blast and throw them at the family. Moonlight was thinking that this is his last flight. But then he looked at his family, he was happy for them. His mother was an officer of the weather team. His father is a lieutenant of the royal guard. And Ember was enrolled in Princess Celestia's school for gifted unicorns and already learned a lot of spells. While he doesn't have anything to give his all. He was ready to face his faith. After it hit them. Moonlight was shocked when he opened his eyes, he saw his mom and dad, covering him and his sister in the impact. They fall on the ground and Moonlight tried to wake them up. For the first time of his life, he was crying in sorrow. Discord laughed maniacally as he look at the family. Moonlight was filled with sorrow and anger that he gritted his teeth. When he was about to lunge at Discord, Ember stopped him. She was crying as well, but she pointed that the princess arrived. Luna and Celestia frowned at the fallen ponies that they were too late. They walked towards Moonlight and Ember, who was still crying. "We're sorry, little ones." Celestia apologized. Then she looked at Discord with anger. When Luna and Celestia took a final look at the family. They took the elements of harmony out of their saddlebags. "Ohh, what have you got there?" He asked with a wicked smile. "The elements of harmony." Celestia replied. "With it, we can use them to defeat you." Luna added. Discord burst out of laughter and said. "You should see yourselves right now, the expressions on your faces, so intense, so sure of yourselves." He said continuing to laugh. Luna and Celestia powered up the elements and all of a sudden. A rainbow was spiraling above and landed st Discord who was still laughing. He was cut off when he turned into stone. Then the royal sister cleansed Canterlot, returning everything Discord changed back to normal. They walks towards Moonlight and Ember, who was near their dead parents. "Were so sorry we let this happened, little ones." Luna apologized frowning. There was a long silence, after a minute of silence, Moonlight was the first to break the silence. "No, I'm the one who should be sorry." Moonlight said. Everyone was shocked when he said. "It's not your fault, Moonlight. You and dad did your best." Ember trying to cheer him up, he sighed and look at Crimson's body. "No, it's my fault. If I didn't leave Canterlot, I would have been here to help. Or at least distract Discord. So that the princess Luna and princess Celestia will have a lot of time to get the elements of harmony. Our parents should be alive right now." Moonlight protested. Tears falling in his eyes. Then he felt a hoof on his head. He looked up to see Luna giving him a weak smile. "Don't let your guilt get the best of you, Moonlight. If you hold it longer, it will grow and consume you." She said. "Thank you princess, I appreciate the concern, but this is a feeling I have to dealt on my own." He said. Luna nodded in agreement and turned to princess Celestia. "Let's go sister, we must return to the palace and-" Luna was stopped when she felt a dark energy coming from Moonlight. Moonlight was screaming in pain when body was in a painful state. Then slowly he was covered in a dark sphere. Moonlight felt like his body is changing. He felt his felt his wings changed from a feathered wings of a pegasus into a leathery skinned of a bat. So as his ears. Then when he opened his eyes. It turned into a dark blue slit like eyes. His mane turned from a light blue colored into a dark blue colored. When the sphere that was holding Moonlight inside slowly shrinking. What they saw shocked Ember and the two sister. "What in equestria happened?" Ember asked the princesses. They exchanged glances and Luna was first to speak. "How is this possible? I never saw a pegasus turned into a batpony before." She replied. The batpony turned to the group. Then all of a sudden, it flew away. They chased the batpony, "Where is he going?" Ember asked. Luna remembered the road below the batpony's headed. "I know where he's going. Follow me." She said. Everyone followed her. Then they reached a small hill. When they were near the walked behind a bush. There they saw the batpony sitting and closing his eyes. "You don't have to hide from me." He said without looking at them. They walked out of the bush and Ember was the first to step up. "Moonlight? Is that you?" She asked. Then Moonlight turned and faced Ember. "Yes, it's me." He replied. Then Ember ran and hugged at him. He was shock at first, but then he hugged back. They let go of the hug and Luna walked towards them and said. "I may have saw great things of you, Moonlight. Everything you've done to help other ponies. If that means risking yours." She stated and smiled. "But I never thought of you being a batpony. How did this happened?" She asked. "I don't know, I was thinking of what you've said earlier. And after that, I didn't know what happened. The next thing I knew is I'm up here." He replied. "Strange, nopony can change into a batpony. Let alone a pegasi." Luna said. Thinking of what really happened. "Let's not discuss this any further, you must rest you two. We will prepare a burial in the cementery. And tomorrow you may see them." Princess Celestia said. Which they nodded in agreement. When the two sisters flew back to the castle. Ember and Moonlight, walked towards their home, the corpse of their parents were already been delivered to the burial. Ember was about to cry, before Moonlight hugged her. She smiled and after the hug, she let out a yawn and said goodnight to Moonlight. Moonlight nodded and walked towards his room and slept on his bed. Morning came and Moonlight was interrupted by Ember who was trying to wake home up. He woke up and greeted Ember, who was shocked of what she saw. "Um, why are you looking at me like that?" He asked until he felt that his wings are soft and feathery again. His eyes returned to normal, and his mane returned to it's light blue color. He was shocked when he realized this. "Your back to normal, I'm so happy." Ember said. While she hugged him. He smiled and returned the hug. "Let's go downstairs and start eating breakfast, we might be able to go to the cemetery today." She added then she teleported downstairs to her chair on the dining room. 'I wish I could teleport like her when I need to.' He thought. Then all of a sudden, he was already sitting on his chair. Ember looked shocked when she saw him appeared there. He was confused of what just happen. Then he realized that he was already in the dining room. In front of him was Ember, who was still in shock. "DID YOU JUST TELEPORTED?!?" Author's Note Part 2 is done. If you guys liked this story. Please give a thumbs up for the story or not. Critism is allowed. If you guys spotted some mistake, please comment down below so I can fix it. More questions will be answered in the further chapter. Part 3-Offer of a lifetime..."Am I seeing things, or did I just saw you appeared in your seat out of nowhere?" Ember asked him in shock. Moonlight was in shock as well. The last thing he remembered is that he thought to himself that if he can teleport since he was still tired after yesterday's incident. "I guess I did teleport. Weird." He responded with a puzzled look. He looked at Ember, who was giving him a blank stare. "Weird?" She said when she levitated closer to him. "You think it's WEIRD!?! This is beyond weird!!" She shouted when her face was close to Moonlight. Moonlight tries to back down, but then he was handled by Ember's magic aura and a roll of tape levitated from the kitchen and she tied Moonlight in his chair. He was struggling to get out, but with no success. "Hey, let me go." He said. He keeps struggling until he stopped to take a breather. This made Ember walked towards him in a angry mood. "How can you, for a pegasus to just teleport out of nowhere then say it's weird? This is beyond our thinking right now." She said in a furious voice. Pacing back and forth. Moonlight then had an idea. Since he teleported cause he was thinking about teleporting to the dining room. What if he thought of teleporting near the door. 'Let's give it a try then." He thought. Then he started thinking about it. When he opened his eyes, he was at the door. Ember noticed Moonlight's disappearance at the chair he was taped in, then he turned and found Moonlight. Who was about to leave the house. "Hey!! I'm not done with you yet. Get back here!!" She shouted. Only to be given a smirk from Moonlight before he flew away. This made her more angrier than before, she started galloping after him. The chase was very long, but it all stopped when Ember was panting for breath for chasing Moonlight all morning. She was about to pass out when she saw Moonlight, who was in the cemetery. He was sitting on his flank, ears lowered to his head near the graves of their mother, Green Ace and their father, Crimson Knight. She walked slowly behind him, then she saw what appeared to be tears falling from Moonlight's eyes. She didn't heard any sobbing but she saw tears falling, then a silence grew on them. It took at least a minute before she walked slowly and put a hoof on the shoulder of Moonlight. He felt a hoof on his shoulder. When he turned around, he saw Ember not angry or mad but smiling. He was glad to see his sister smiling, it makes him feel better to see his little sister smiling. He smiled back and they both hugged. After another minute, they left the hug and Moonlight was the first to speak. "It only happened yesterday, but I already missed them." He said in a sad voice. "Me too, but I know that they wanted us to live the life we wanted. They sacrifice themselves to save us, so we can live longer." Ember said. They both stared on their parents graves for another minute. "Hey I know! If you want, I can get the picnic basket and make a picnic here with them." Ember suggested with a smile. "Sure, that's a great idea." He agreed with a small smile. "I'll be right back." She said before leaving to get the picnic basket. Ember returned with the picnic basket and set it down. "I didn't bring the blanket, I rather sit on the grass. You dont mind do you?" She said. Moonlight nodded in agreement and they both took cucumber sandwiches and started eating. In the castle balcony, Princess Luna was watching Moonlight and Ember through her telescope. Princess Celestia entered the room and greeted her sister. "You felt it too huh?" Luna asked, still looking through the telescope. "Yes, what's going on, dear sister?" Celestia said. She look where Luna was looking and she saw Ember and Moonlight sitting on the grass near the graves of their parents. They were both happy and was having a picnic. She smiled, but it didn't last long. After their picnic,they were laying on the grass. Ember first spoke. "Hey, i've been meaning to ask you." She said. "What is it?" Moonlight asked. "Now that you can use magic, can you teleport the basket back to inside the house?" She asked. Moonlight was puzzled if it's possible. "I don't know, I only teleport when I thought that I want to teleport and where exactly. Let me try." He said. Moonlight closed his eyes and sighed. Then the basket levitated and it disappeared. He opened his eyes to see the basket. He was confused at first on where it had gone to. Then he saw Ember smiling. "You did it!" She said. She excitedly lunge at Moonlight and hugged him. He only smiled and returned the hug. Princess Luna and princess Celestia was shocked of what they saw. Then Luna snapped out of the shock and first spoke. "Sister, do you know what this means?" She asked. Celestia nodded in agreement and they both flew out of balcony and and towards Moonlight and Ember. Ok, now that we know you can do magic. Let's try a simple levitating spell." She said. Then a light blue aura covered Ember and suddenly levitated. Moonlight was chuckling at what he did. "This isn't funny you know." She said. "Nope, it's hilarious." He replied before laughing. Then he slowly placed Ember back on the ground. They both laughed. Then Moonlight was sensing two magical energies flying towards them. He turned and looked above, he saw princess Celestia and princess Luna flying towards them. When they landed, Ember and Moonlight bowed. "You may rise." Luna said. Moonlight and Ember stand up. "We were sensing some dark magic here." Luna said and look at Moonlight. "Oh...I...uh..." Moonlight was looking for something to say. "You might have something to do with it, do you Moonlight?" She asked still staring at Moonlight. "Not only that, I sensed the same dark magical energy before you transformed last night." She added. This made Moonlight shivered in fear. Celestia stepped up and asked in a calm voice, "How did you do that?" "I...I don't know. I kinda just think about it and it just do it." He tried to explain. "I see. But I may know the reason of why it is happening." She said. "You do?" Ember and Moonlight said in unison. "What do you mean, sister?" Luna asked. "Although, you may not know this but, before your father became part of the royal guards. Crimson Knight was using dark magic." She said. Ember and Moonlight was shocked. "Yes, I have once doubted him. But when I learned he was using dark magic, I wanted to cleansed it out of him." Luna said. "But, he admittedly told us that he was using dark magic and he was ready to give it up." She added. "And after the chaos magic of Discord struck your parents, Crimson's dark magic may have took some of the chaos from the blast and gave you the magic. That may have been the reason why you transformed into a batpony last night." Celestia continued. After of what they said, Moonlight thinking about it. He then spoke. "I can't believe this." He said. "Not only I have dark magic inside me, but it came from my own father." He added. The two royal sister glanced at each other and nodded. Luna first step up. "We may have to handle that situation to ourselves.." Luna said. Moonlight turned at Luna. "How?" He asked. "I will personally train you in using your new magic for good." She replied. Moonlight glanced at Ember who then nodded at him. He sighed and said. "I accept your offer, princess Luna." He said. Luna smiled "Good, we will start tomorrow when the moon rise again." Luna said. "For now, you two should return to your home now. You must be tired." Celestia said with a smile. "Ok, princess." Moonlight agreed. "Let's go Ember." He added. "Coming!" She said. They both walked back to their home. Luna and Celestia watched them. "I hope your plan will succeed." Celestia said. "I hope so, if Moonlight can't contain the dark magic. It could be the end of Equestria." Luna replied with a frown face. Moonlight and Ember was almost home. When they were about to walk inside, Lox landed near them. He greeted them. His saddlebag is full of tools. "Ember, Moonlight I'm glad I've found you guys. First of all, I'm very sorry of what happened to your parents." Lox said. "It's fine." Ember said. Moonlight nodded. "Okay, second of all, we really need your help. The bandits are back." Lox said. "Why us? What about the princesses?" Moonlight asked. "Well, we figured that you stood up to Discord yesterday, you can help." Lox reasoned. Moonlight noticed the Sun's going down and the moon is about to rise. "What about the guards?" He asked. "They're badly injured. These bandits are a lot tougher than they look." Lox replied. Then Ember had an idea. "Hey Lox, do you have some inventions that can he used for self defense?" She asked. "Yeah, sure. But why?" He asked. "No time to explain, let's go." She said. Grabbing Lox's hoof. Moonlight head towards his room and when the moon rised. It came back. The pain he felt last night before turning into a batpony. When it was over, he look at his hooves and looked at the mirror. He saw fangs grown, his wings was now a bat wing. He then had an idea. Ember and Lox were galloping towards where the bandits are. They hid in a bush near the bandits. "That's a lot of them, sure you can do it?" Lox asked, he was worried for Ember. "Sure. All I had to do is take them out one by one and-" She was cutted off when she heard a scream. They both look outside and found out that one by one the bandits were knocked out. The two bandits were afraid and they ran as fast as their legs can carry, but they stopped when they saw a dark figure in front of them, it slowly walk towards them while they both back away. "W-what are you?" One of the bandits asked frightened. The figure grin and said in a cold voice. "Call me, the batpony of the night." He said then he flew fast towards them, then grabbed the two of them and throws them towards the other bandits who are starting to wake up. They all knocked themselves. When they stood up, the batpony was still walking towards them. They all screamed and ran out of Canterlot, hoping to not see him again. Moonlight sighed and thought. 'I guess that's the last time we'll see those bandits again' Then he heard a rustling in the bushes with his batpony ears. He turned and saw two ponies looking at him. He saw Ember and then he flew up and straight back to their home. "Whoa, did you see that Ember? Uh...Ember?" Lox was confused that Ember teleported somewhere. "Oh well, guess I'll go home then." He said to himself. Then he flew back to his home. Author's Note That's part 3. If you guys still liking this story, please go ahead and give a thumbs up or not. Critism is allowed. There's still more where this came from. So I'll see you later. Part 4-First Night in TrainingEmber galloped as fast as she can to get home. She was thinking of what happened a while ago. 'I hope he's alright.' She thought. When she ran inside, she immediately ran upstairs and towards Moonlight's room. When she was outside the door, she stopped and slowly opened the door. She took a peek inside the room, to find out that Moonlight was near the opened window. Moonlight was reading a book he took from his shelves. He was completely calm. "You okay?" Moonlight asked Ember while still looking on the book. "Yeah, I'm fine." She replied. Moonlight closed his book and looked at her. They stared at each other. "So, how about you?" Ember asked nervously. Moonlight smiled and walked towards Ember. Ember was about to say something when she was pulled into a hug by Moonlight. She smiled back and hugged. "You know I'm always all right. I'm just glad you are too." He replied calmly. They let go of the hug and Ember smiled again before walking out of the room. She didn't bother to teleport. She took one more look at his brother and walked out of the room. Moonlight just smiled and took one last look at the moon and goes to sleep. It's the day, when Moonlight woke up he realized that when the moon rise he will start his first training in controlling his newly gained magic. He jumped out of his bed and started stretching. After his stretching, he thought that to try teleporting again. "Hmm, I wonder what's taking Moonlight so long?" Ember asked herself while she was cooking again. Then she heard a thump on the dining room. When she walked inside the dining room, she saw Moonlight on the floor, rubbing his flank. Ember just giggled and walked towards him. "He he, what happened?" She asked. "Trying to think accurately on where I should teleport. In my case my chair." He said while pointing on his chair. Ember just giggled and helped her brother. "Don't worry, you'll figure it out. Besides, later tonight princess Luna is going to train you." She said in a smile. "Yeah, I know." He said. "Don't tell me your nervous." She said with a smirk. Then Moonlight looked at Ember with a irritated stare. "Kidding." She added. Smiling sheepishly. "I thought so." He replied. "Soo, wanna talk about something?" She asked. Moonlight raised an eyebrow. "About last night with the bandits?" He replied. Ember nodded. "Well, when I noticed the moon rising, I felt a pain in my body and I transformed again when I was in my room. So that gaved me an idea. Not only I saved you that about to fight them all alone, I also kept my transformation a secret. So my secret still stands." He explained. "Oh, right. But still, how did you know that your about to transform?" She asked while raising an eyebrow. "Remember the first time I transformed, it was very painful?" Moonlight asked, which Ember nodded. "It's just like last night. A felt a slight pain until it was increasing until its very painful." He added. "So your feeling a slight pain every time you transform." Ember cleared the statement. Moonlight nodded. "So, what about later? You know she's going to be shocked when she see you again in your batpony side, right?" She asked. "Or 'form'." She added. "Your right. But she can also sense dark magic. So it wouldn't be a surprised to her when she sense my magic. She'll know it's me." Moonlight replied. They talked about Moonlight's training all morning. When he realized it, Moonlight jumped and was about to fly out of the house. "Hey! Where you going?" Ember asked. "I'll tell you my training tomorrow. Right now, I have something to do." He replied. After he left. Ember was confused on why is he on a hurry. But she didn't mind, she does have a work of herself. Moonlight was flying above Canterlot. He test his agility and reflexes every time he sees a tight turn or a dead end alley. He even added math in the mix. He calculates his trajectory and angle. His speed can't be matched by others, so as his quick reaction and reflexes. There was a time that the wonderbolts wants him to join them in there team, be he declined. Most pegasi wants to join the wonderbolts, but Moonlight was the only one whose declined their invitation. Moonlight landed slowly at the hill where he always rest after excercise. He took a little nap under the tree. When he woke up, it was afternoon. Just hours away before the sun sets and the moon rise. He flew back to get ready for his training. When he returned, he saw at the table a picnic basket with a note. He walked towards the table and took a closer look at the note. 'Here's some food I pack for you after your training. There's some water in there if your thirsty. Busy helping Lox at his house, be back later. Enjoy. -Ember Blaze' Moonlight smiled to see his sister helping others. It doesn't really matter if he doesn't bring food. Its just for a whole night. But he couldn't deny his sister's hospitality. He walked back to his room to get ready. When he was ready, he looked at the sun who was about to set in about thirty minutes. He grabbed the picnic basket with his mouth and flew towards the royal castle. When he reach the castle. A royal stepped up and said. "Who goes there?" He said. Moonlight put down the basket and said. "Um, Moonlight Sparks, sir? Son of Crimson Knight." He replied. When the guard heard the name Crimson Knight, he nodded and opened the gates. He signaled Moonlight to follow him. Moonlight grabbed the basket again and followed the guard. Then when they reached a door with the mark of a crescent moon, he turned to Moonlight and said. "You may enter." He said before returning to his post. Moonlight nodded and pushed the door with his hoof. When he entered, the room looks like a throne room but most of the color were dark. He put his basket down near him and walked around the huge room to admire the beauty. "Your here early." A voice said. Moonlight turned around and saw princess Luna watching him from the balcony. "I said we must meet when after the moon rises. Not before the moon rise." She added. "I'm sorry, princess. It's just that there's something you should know when the moon rise." He replied. Luna was intrigue. "Fine. We will start our training after I'm done." She said softly. Moonlight nodded. "So, what are you waiting for?" Luna asked. Moonlight was confused. Then he realized that she wants him to see her at work. "Oh, yeah sorry." He apologized and ran towards Luna's side. Luna smiled as she focus her sights on the moon. Her horn lit and the sun was setting and the moon was rising. Moonlight couldn't believe it. He was at the side of the princess of the night while she was doing her work. When the moon was shining in the sky, Moonlight felt the slight pain on his body. He knew what's going to happen next. "Ugh...okay princess...here's what I meant." He said while struggling on the pain. Luna then felt the dark magic growing. Then a dark sphere covers Moonlight and when it was shrinking, it revealed Moonlight's batpony. He was panting after the transformation. Luna then sensed no dark magic growing large. She ran towards Moonlight. "What in equestria happened to you?" She asked. "Well, it turns out that the dark magic inside me is giving me a hard time when I transform every night." He said calmly. "Wait...what do you mean every night?" She asked in confused. "Every. single. night." He replied. Luna was shocked about this. But then it faded when Moonlight smiled at her. "You are not just brave, and courageous. But your heart is full of light." She said before smiling back. "Thanks, princess." He said. "We were suppose to be training right now, right?" He asked. "Oh, yeah. Right sorry, got caught in the moment there." She replied before smiling sheepishly. Then Moonlight chuckled. Moonlight's training was a bit hard, but he was able to do and finished them. Now he has to do one more thing. "To tell you the truth Moonlight, I was surprised that you were able to learn and train better to control the dark magic inside you." Luna said, smiling. "Well, I have a pretty good teacher." He said with a wink then smiled. "Now that you know how to control your magic, you must now conquer your worst nightmares. On your own." Luna said. "You have two choices, you either prove them wrong by destroying the nightmare. Or prove them wrong by accepting of what they think. It's your choice, and your choice only Moonlight Sparks. Are you ready?" She explained and asked. "I'm ready as I'll ever be." He replied. Moonlight was ready to take on the test. Luna lit her horn and the whole room was pitch dark and she disappeared. Moonlight was like floating on a sea of nothingness. Then he saw Ember. He flew towards her. "Hey Ember. I didn't know you were here." Moonlight greeted Ember. When she turned around, she was angry and furious. "YOU DID THIS!!" she shouted, Moonlight jumped back at the shout. "Huh?" He was confuser of what she said. "YOU DID THIS! IF YOU DIDN'T LEAVE CANTERLOT, OUR PARENTS SHOULD BE ALIVE RGHT NOW AND I SHOULDN'T HAVE A BROTHER WHO WAS A BATPONY!!" She shouted again. Moonlight was shocked of what she said. "No! You don't understand, even if I didn't leave Canterlot, mom and dad would still be-" he was cutted off when he was hit by a magic blast. He groaned in pain as he saw Ember who shot him on the body. He tries to stand back up, only to be hit by another magic blast from Ember. "Ember, please." He tried to plea. "NO, YOU WILL NEVER CALL THEM YOUR PARENTS!! AS FAR AS I'M CONCERNED, YOUR NOT MY BROTHER!!" Then that statement changed the mood. Moonlight froze when he heard her own sister telling him that he's not her brother anymore. Instead of sorrow and fear, it turned into fury and rage. He gritted his teeth when he was standing back up. Another bolt of magic was about to hit him. Then all of a sudden he disappeared. Ember looked side by side to see where he is. Then what she felt behind her made her shiver in fear. Moonlight didn't attack or hurt Ember, even he knew that it wasn't really her. His not that kind of pony. He would never hurt anyone he loved. He was behind her just looking above. "I'm sorry. I know I should have been there to protect you all. But that doesn't change the fact that I can't protect you now. Yes, you were right about everything. You have the means to be angry. But in the past now. The only ponies now that I can and will protect, is you. Whether your angry at me or not, I will protect you with my life. Our parents have a choice. They chose to save us. And it's my choice to save you, even if it means sacrificing myself. And yes, I will protect not just you, I will protect my friends and families from danger. I promise you that. And that's a promise I will never break. Forever." He explained. Then when Ember heard this her anger lessened and turned into sorrow and turned to Moonlight and hugged him. Moonlight just smiled and hugged back. "Promise you will protect all of us." Ember said. "You know I will. For you, sis." He replied. Ember smiled and then she disappeared. The pitch black room was gone and the throne room room is visible again, so as princess Luna. Who was so happy the she pulled Moonlight into a hug. "Do you really mean all of those words, Moonlight?" She asked calmly. "Every. Single. One of them." He replied smiling. "Congratulations, Moonlight Sparks. You have passed the test and now a choice must be made." Luna declared. "What choices?" Moonlight asked. "Will you accept the place as a Captain-in-Training of the royal guards and I will personally teach you how to raise the moon and set the sun until one day I need your help. Or will you decline the offer and return home to your sister, protecting her on your own. Your choice is final. Choose wisely." She explained. Moonlight's jaw dropped when she was finished explaining. "Wait a sec, are you really gonna be giving me this position? Like seriously?" He asked in shocked. Princess Luna smiled and replied. "I have never been more serious until today. You have proven that you have the charity-like,compassion, devotion, Integrity, optism, and the leadership of a Captain. This one choice is in your hoof. Choose wisely now." Moonlight was thinking for a whole minute until he came with a conclusion. "I accept the position of Captain-In-Training." He said calmly. "I know you will make the right choice." Luna said with a smile. "Will I still see my sister?" He asked. "Yes, but you will be seeing her less. Once I contact my sister of your offer. You will most likely to live here in the palace." Luna replied. Moonlight gave Luna a puzzled look and said. "Say what now?" "That's right,since your a captain you will have your own quarters. Separated from the guardhouse. But still, Ember can visit anytime. We will give her permission." She replied. "Now for tonight, you must return home and be ready to move tomorrow. I'll send a royal carriage for your departure." She added. Moonlight returned but still shocked of his choice. He couldn't believe that he would get to live in a castle, especially the royal sister's castle. He can't wait for tomorrow. When he was to go inside his room, he took a look around inside Ember's room and she was sleeping in her bed. He smiled and trotted back to his room. He closed his eyes knowing that tomorrow is a brand new start. Author's Note Part 4 is done. If you guys are still enjoying this story. Please tell me what you think about it.

Part 5-The MoveAll About Moonlight Sparks Part 5:The Move Written by: Moonlight Spark After last nights training with princess Luna, Moonlight still can't believe that he was appointed to be a captain-in-training of the royal guards. He would even learn how to raise the moon and sets the sun from Luna herself. When he ran out of his room, he wasted no time to get to the door. When he opened the door, he was surprised that his friends were outside waiting for him. Ember walked towards Moonlight with a smile on her face. She quickly pulled him to a hug, then everyone joined in the hug. After their group hug, Moonlight was the first to say something. “Didn't expect to get these attentions in one morning.” He said with a chuckle. Ember smiled and said, “Well, everypony says that you will achieve you dreams, you just have to believe it.” Lox stepped in and congratulated Moonlight. “Congratulations, my friend. You earned that promotion.” He said giving Moonlight a smile. Moonlight was about to say something, before one of the pegasus guards spoke. “Excuse me, Captain Moonlight but the princess are waiting for you at the castle.” One of the pegasus guards said. Everyone turned to Moonlight, who was confused on why are they looking at him. “What?” He asked. Then he saw smirks on their faces. Shadow Storm then replied. “You better hurry up and don't keep the princesses waiting, ‘Captain Moonlight’. He teased before everyone laughed. Moonlight just sighed and was about to reply. “We're just joking, Moonlight. I hope you take your new responsibilities seriously.” Softspot intervened. Moonlight just smiled and turned back to Ember, who was done laughing. “You sure you can take care of yourself while I'm gone? I could visit anytime if you need help.” He asked. Ember just shook her head and smiled at him. “Don't worry about me, I'll be fine. And I will be visiting you most of time.” She replied. “Good. Well I guess I'll see you all soon when I get back.” He said his goodbyes. Tears were falling on Softspot and Ember, even Lox dropped a tear and rub it off before anyone notices. Moonlight just smiled and turned to the guards. “Okay, let's go.” He said as he hopped on the royal chariot and sat his saddlebag on the center, in case it falls. With a simple nod, the guards took off towards the castle. It was a quick fly towards the castle. As the chariot rested on the ground, Moonlight levitated his saddlebag to his back. Then he walked towards a corridor and stopped on a huge door of the throne room. He pushed the door with his hoof and slowly walking inside. “I see you've accepted my sister's offer.” A female voice spoke. He turned on the side and saw Princess Celestia in her usual regalia. “It's good to see you again, Moonlight.” She added with a smile. “Likewise, princess.” He replied and bowed in respect. He then heard a hoofsteps on the other side of the room. He raised his head and finds princess Luna walking towards them. “I hope you don't mind, sister.” She said. Princess Celestia nodded and left the room, leaving the two of them. “Are you familiar with the rooms of the castle?” She asked. Moonlight shook his head and said, “No, princess.” “Come with me, I'll explain the details on the way.” She replied and lead the way around the castle. They were upstairs, on the way their were talking about what was the reason of his transformation and his duty as a captain-in-training. Then they approach a door. Luna pushed the door opened and they both walked inside the room. “This will be your quarters during your stay here. I hope you find it comfortable?” She asked. Moonlight just smiled and took one more look of the room before he replied. “It's fine. Thank you for asking.” “I should leave you on attending on your things.” she said before she smiled once more and walked out of the room. Moonlight had been in his room for hours, cleaning and putting all his stuff away. When he was done. He rubbed his forehead to clear it from the sweat. He then noticed something on his saddlebag, he dug into it and took out different items. The first one looks like a badge. Knowing the badge, he then remembered his mother, Green Ash. Then he looked at a rock that was glowing in a fiery color. He then knew that it was a fire rune, after that he remembered his sister Ember Blaze. Tears starting to fall on Moonlights eyes, thinking that she might have some problems and he's not there to help. The last object is a medallion. He took a closer look on what was written. ‘This medallion of gratitude will be given to Crimson Knight. A loyal, and great captain of the guards.’ It was a medallion on gratitude to his father, Crimson Knight. Then he was now crying. He laid his head on a pillow. He was worried about what will happen to Ember when he was gone. He then promised himself that he will protect his family and friends. Even risking his life. As the sun will set in a few minutes, he joined princess Luna at her side once more in hopes to learn about how to raise the moon and set the sun. When the moon was rised, he was interrupted in his thoughts by a slight pain. Now he know what will happen next. He stepped back away from the balcony on where Luna was standing. She turned around and saw Moonlight with the dark sphere slowly covering. When it was shrinking, he was back at his batpony form. Luna then thought of an idea. “Moonlight, do you have a moment?” She asked. Moonlight nodded in agreement. “Since you have dark magic inside you, did you know that dark magic can sense other magics as well?” She asked. Moonlight gave her a confused look and shook his head. “And when your a batpony, you can see much better in the night. Am I right?” “Yeah. Why?” He asked. “Because I heard about the bandit incident. A batpony was seen by witnesses and took care of the bandits. Are you apart of this incident?” She asked. Moonlight was now getting nervous. He thought that the princesses wouldn't know about it. “Ummm… Yes?” He replied nervously. But he was shocked when he heard Luna giggling. “Um, what's so funny?” He asked in confusion. “You, silly.” She replied while still giggling. “You thought I'll punish you with such heroism? She asked sarcastically. “That's why I decided to put your batpony form to good use.” She added. “I'm not following.” He replied, still confused. “Starting tomorrow night, you will patrol the night skies as a batpony and look out for disturbances.” She explained. “Ohh.” He realized then. “Wait, what!!?!” Author's Note Here's part 5. Sorry if it took so long. I was busy at the moment. Anyway, if you guys still enjoyed the story. Please leave a thumbs up and comment down below what you've like so far.

Chapter 6-First PatrolAll About Moonlight Sparks Part 6-First Patrol Written by: Moonlight Spark The morning sun was beaming rays of sunlight through the windows of Moonlight's room. Moonlight woke, rubbing his eyes with his hooves. “I guess it's time to do some flying.” He said. As he was about to leave the room, his stomach grumbling. “But first I should get something to eat.” Moonlight walk around the castle, hoping to find the dining room. On the way he was greeted by saluting from the royal guards. “Where is it?” He asked himself. His stomach still grumbling. When he opened the door, he sigh in relief that he found the dining room. “Good Morning, Moonlight.” Princess Celestia greeted him as she was having tea with herself. “Morning, princess.” He said casually. Celestia didn't mind. She gestured to take a seat. “Luna would be awake later. For now, sit down, eat breakfast and in the afternoon you will start your training as captain of the royal guard.” Celestia said. Moonlight nodded in agreement as he ate breakfast. Breakfast is done, Moonlight smiled at the princess and said, “Thank you for the breakfast, princess Celestia.” He said. “You're welcome, Moonlight.” She said. After that, Moonlight walked out of the room and finds his way towards the entrance. He made his way towards the entrance, he extended his wings and flew upwards. He made his way upwards before he crossed his wings on his chest and now falling. Like he calculated, he recovered and extended his wings and now flying, almost hitting the ground. He fly up again and started doing maneuvers. After an exhausting practice, he made his way on the hill near Canterlot. On the way, he saw Ember who was hanging out with Lox Wing, Softspot, and Shadow Storm at Suagrcube Corner. He continued his flight until he slowly glided downwards on the hill. There he walk into a tree and took a nap. When he woke up it was afternoon, he stand up in four and started stretching. After his exercise, he realized that he's late for his training. He expanded his wings, gave it a few test flaps before he flew upwards. When he reached the training ground, there he saw new recruits. Some are exercising, some are resting, and some are having a sparring match with each other. Moonlight was nervous at first, then he saw princess Luna. She seem to be talking with Moonlight's instructor. Luna spotted Moonlight and gave a wave. “Moonlight Sparks, I'm glad your here. Allow me to introduce your instructor Blossom Flare. Blossom, this is Moonlight Sparks captain in training. Blossom Flare stepped forward and extended a hoof. “It’s nice to meet you, Captain.” She greeted with a smile. “Likewise.” He greeted and extended his own for a hoofshake. “I must be off now. I still have some important business to attend to.” Luna said her goodbye’s. It took the whole afternoon, but it was over. All he want to do is go to his room and sleep the rest of the night. Apparently, he felt the pain growing and after that dark sphere covering him. When it was over, he was back to his batpony form. He sigh and made his way towards the castle. Once he is inside, he walked the rest of the way towards Luna’s room. He knock on the door until it opened. He stepped inside and saw Luna, who was waiting for him. “I'm glad you made it.” She said. “Tonight, you will fly above Canterlot and what you need to do is make a scout report every patrol, every night. If there is some disturbance, like the bandits last time. All you need to do is stop them. If it's some magic disturbance that you can't do alone, return here and report it to us. Understood?” Luna explained. Moonlight nodded as he flew out of the room. He scour Canterlot for any signs of trouble or disturbances. It wasn't too long until he heard trouble below him. It was the bandits from last time. He sighed and said, “They're back already?” He asked himself. He lunge himself towards the bandits. “Ok, that's everything. Let's go before-” One of the bandits was cutted off when something explode near them. All the bandits were knocked back. Some of them was unconscious, only three bandits left. They shook their heads, and it wasn't longer till one of them disappeared and spotted already unconscious. Only two left, another one was thrown and crashed near a wall. The last bandit is a unicorn, he stand his ground and he got a lucky hit on the wing of the vigilante, but it didn't slow it. He was caught and thrown to a wall. After finishing up, Moonlight tied all six bandits. He check his injured wing to see if it's bad. Thankfully, it wasn't that bad. He walked his way to his home where Ember is still awake. He knocked on the door. Ember opened the door to see who was knocking this late. Ember was shocked but she pulled Moonlight in a hug. “Moonlight, oh I miss you. Tell me, how was your first day. Was it fun?” She asked. Moonlight opened his mouth to speak before he was cut by a gasp from Ember. Then Ember took the injured wing and take a good look in it. “What happened?” She asked. “It's fine.” He replied. Ember suddenly aim her horn towards the injured wing of Moonlight. After a little spark, Moonlight's body is covered by the magic aura of Ember. After a minute, it disappeared so as the injury. Moonlight was impressed and amazed by Embers’s healing. “How did you do that?” He asked. “I read a book about supportive/defensive spells. So I thought to myself that I'll learn them so I can help anypony in trouble.” She replied with a smile. Moonlight only smiled and pulled her in a hug. “Thank you.” He said. “No problem, if you have any injuries like that you know where to find me. Anyway I'm off to bed, good luck on your training.” She said as she walked upstairs. Moonlight only smiled and walked outside. He closed the door and extended his wings. He flew upwards and towards the castle. He knew what Ember is capable of. He now have somepony to talk to if he gets injured in the future. Author's Note Part 6 is done. Sorry if it took so long.

PrologueIt was another day in Canterlot, Moonlight Sparks got out of his bedroom. When he came down stairs, Ember Blaze just got back from the Castle after helping Princess Celestia raise the sun. They greeted each other and sat down on the dining room. "Let me make breakfast this time." Moonlight said with a wink. Ember just smile and nodded. Out of nowhere, two plates carrying stacks of pancakes appeared at their table. They both ate their breakfast. After their breakfast, the plates that was carrying pancakes that was eaten, disappeared in an instant. They both got out of their home and walked towards the train station. "I can't wait to get to Ponyville, it's been a while since we last came." Ember said excitedly. "It has been a while." Moonlight said with a frown. "Hey what's wrong?" She asked with a look on concern. "It's nothing important." He lied. But Ember wasn't buying it. "Don't try to lie bro, we're connected to each other remember?" She said with a gaze. "Yeah I know, it's just that it's been years since we lost our parents, and the fact that our friends don't know our life before we were friends with them." He said in a frown face. Ember hugged Moonlight in hopes to cheer him up. He just hugged back with a small smile. "I know what it feels, I kinda miss our parents too. But even they're alive right now, i know that they are so proud of us getting this far in our lives." She replied with a smile after she stopped hugging. Moonlight didn't say anything but smiled back. They boarded the train to Ponyville. When the train stopped, Moonlight and Ember saw their friends waiting on the station. They were greeted by a hello and hugs and Pinkie's party cannon shooting Confetti's. "I'm glad you guys made it, so what's happening in Canterlot?" Twilight Sparkle asked. "Nothing much, it's just another day in Canterlot I suppose." Ember replied. "Unless Discord makes a mess again. You wouldn't believe what happened last time." She added. Twilight shook her head and turned to Moonlight. "How about you Moonlight, got anything special to do?" She asked. Moonlight shook his head and said. "Not much, just the regular daily job of being a batpony in the night. He replied. Everyone except Twilight and Ember was confused of what Moonlight said. "Now hold on there, so your telling us that you're that batpony who was flying above Ponyville every night? Applejack asked. Which Moonlight nodded. "Well then, why is it that you look like a pegasus right now? Are you a changeling or something?" Rainbow dash asked nearing her face to Moonlight's. "First of all, yes I'm the batpony in the night. Second, no I'm not a changeling." Moonlight replied. "Then why do you look like a normal pegasus dear?" Rarity asked in shock. "Look before I explain any further, we should go back to Twilight's castle. That way we can start talking on the personal life." He said. Which everyone agreed. When they reached the Castle in Ponyville, they entered inside the throne room. Inside they saw Spike and Starlight looking on the map of Equestria for friendship problems. When they stepped in, they greeted each other. "Hey there Starlight, Spike." Moonlight greeted both of them. "Hey Moonlight." They both replied. "Starlight!!! Spike!!!" Ember screamed and gave them both a bone crushing hug. Everyone started to chuckle even Moonlight. "Hello...Ember...could you please put us down?" Starlight asked. Which she agreed and put them down. "Sorry, it's just I'm so happy to see you two. I miss you guys!" She replied. "We miss you too. Next time please don't break us in half with your hug." Spike said. "Sure thing." She happily agreed. "Ok, so now that's out of the way. Moonlight, please do explain why are you a pegasus today and a batpony at night dear?" Rarity asked again. Moonlight sighed and said. "Ok,look you may have know me and Ember from the Princesses. But the truth is... I have magic." He said. Which made everyone confused. Until Rainbow Dash started to laugh hard. "That was a greatest story a pegasus would say!" She said while still laughing. Then out of nowhere Rainbow Dash was trapped inside a bubble that can't be popped easily. Everyone were shock at disbelief at what just happened. "Put her down brother, she may now believe of what you said." Ember said to her brother. Then out of nowhere the bubble disappeared and everyone was shocked at disbelief once more. "D-did you just d-do t-that?" Fluttershy asked Moonlight. Which he simply nodded. "I don't understand, I thought unicorns and alicorns can only use magic." Rarity said in disbelief. "Our life has much more story than meets the eye." Moonlight said. Everyone exchanged glances until Twilight broke the silence. "So not only you can turn into a batpony at night, but you can use magic as well?" She asked. "Pretty much." Moonlight replied. There was a silence inside the room. Until Moonlight broke the silence. "It's almost night time, I guess I should show you my batpony form." He said. As the moon rises, Moonlight was covered in a black sphere. When the sphere disappeared, everyone except Twilight, Ember, Spike, and Starlight was shocked of what they saw. Moonlight's hair color turned dark blue colored from his normal blue color, his eyes changed into a snake like eyes. His feathered wings turned into a leathered skin bat wings. They were afraid when they saw Moonlight's batpony form for the first time. But Twilight and Ember tried to calm them down. "It's okay girls, he may be a batpony but he's the same Moonlight we know and loved." She said. "It's just fine, all ponies are all like this when they first see him in his night form." Ember added. Little by little they approached Moonlight carefully. Until Moonlight spoke. "I'm not dangerous, I'm just like this every night." He said while looking on the moon. After that he sighed. "Look, only Princess Celestia and Princess Luna knows about our past lives. Maybe now is the perfect time for you girls know it too." He added. Everyone nodded and started to listen to what he is about to say. He look at Ember which she gave him a nod. He sighed and start telling them the story.

Part 1-The BeginningThe sun was shining brightly, Moonlight woke up and groaned about waking up early. He looked at the sun and said. "Why is the sun shines this bright?" He said when he turned and walk towards the door. When he walked downstairs, he saw his mom at the kitchen, making breakfast. His dad was getting ready for work. His mother's name is Green Ash. She's a pegasus mare who works in clearing the weather, His father was called Crimson Knight. A unicorn stallion who was part of the royal guards. Moonlight dreamed of being a royal guard when he grow up so he can help and protect ponies like his dad. "Good morning Moonlight. Are you ready for your first day of school?" Green asked when she turned to Moonlight with a smile. He smiled back and said. "Yes, mom. I can't wait to get started." He replied in excitement. Green and Crimson just smiled when he was jumping in excitement. "Don't forget son, you and Ember should go to school together." Crimson reminded. "Oh yeah, I'll wake her up." He replied. He ran back upstairs and stopped outside of Ember's room. Ember is a unicorn who's almost the same age as his brother. He knocked at the door and yelled. "Wake up, sleepy head! First day of school is today. You don't want to miss it." He yelled. He heard a groan inside the room and the door was opened by magic. Ember is always studying magic. She already know levitation spell. When she opened the door she said. "Five more minutes please, I'm kinda tired." She said softly then she yawned and gone back to sleep. "But your gonna be late if you don't wake up now." Moonlight reasoned. Only to heard a groan as a reply. "Ugh, that's it!" He said. Then he pulled the blanket of Ember with his mouth and ran downstairs, with Ember's blanket still in his mouth. "Hey, give that back!" She shouted then chased Moonlight downstairs. When she stopped, she saw Moonlight and her parents sitting beside each other on the dining room. "Oh morning Ember, come take a seat and start eating your breakfast." Green suggested. Ember sighed and sat beside her mother, with Moonlight and her dad on the other end. When breakfast was finished, Moonlight and Ember took their saddlebags and walked together to school When school was over, Moonlight was thrilled with his first day, he made a new friend named Lox Wing. Lox Wing is a Pegasus who does most of the time reading books about inventions and science. Moonlight didn't care, he's just happy he got a friend in his first day. Unlike Ember, who had a rough day. She has been getting bullied because she doesn't have a cutie mark. However, Moonlight never let that happen to his sister. Even when he took the place of Ember getting bullied. He doesn't care, he ignores them just like they were nothing. 10 years later, Ember was turning 15. Her family was happy for their children to get this far with no trouble. Moonlight changed over the years, turning from a very happy and excited filly into a silent but calm stallion. Ember changed as well, from a nervous and sensitive foal into a happy and smart unicorn who learned a lot of spells, including teleportation. She and Lox Wing had the chance to know each other. She even made friends with a unicorn stallion named Shadow Storm and an earth pony mare named Softspot, whose the same age as her. While everyone else was enjoying the party, Moonlight remained in his room reading a book near the window where the light of the moon was shining on his book so he can see. He smiled and look at the moon. "That's why I liked the moon, instead of shining a hot and blind ray like the sun, the moon shines a ray of light that is just perfect for reading books." He said. Then he closed the book and returned it to his bookshelves. He stood near the window while looking at moon again. He closed his eyes and sighed. When he opened his eyes, he opened the window and fly out of his room. Ever since he first learned how to fly in flight school at Cloudsdale, every night he flies above Canterlot and finds a spot in a small hill nearby. When he landed, he sat there and the silence grew. He was sitting there, closing his eyes, feeling the cold breeze the night gives. There's more silence, then he suddenly heard a rustling behind him. He turned and couldn't believe of what he saw. "Why are you here, little one? Are you lost." The figure said in a feminine voice. Moonlight can't see the figure very well due to the darkness. "I'm sorry if I bothered somepony, I was just here thinking." He tried to tried to explain, but the figure stopped him. "It's alright my subject. You have nothing to fear." The figure said. Then it walked towards Moonlight slowly. Moonlight was looking at the figure when she was walking towards him. He then examined the figure. Then when he realized who it was, he gasped and bowed. "Princess Luna, I didn't know it was you." He said still bowing. "I see great things happen to you, Moonlight Sparks. You have a noble and gentle heart. And I know why your here." Luna said. "You do?" He asked still bowing. "Yes, but before i tell you. You may rise." She said. Moonlight stand up. "I know how you favor the night, Moonlight. I appreciate it." She said. "If only I could repay you by making your dream come true. One day I will." She said. "Now if you excuse me, I must go back to the palace." She added. Before she left, Moonlight stopped him. "Wait Princess." He said. Luna turned to Moonlight. "Will I see you again?" He asked. Luna smiled and said. "Only time will tell, Moonlight. Only time will tell." She replied before leaving Moonlight on the hill. Author's Note Part 1 is done. Sorry if it took long I was busy with other stuff. But anyway, if you guys like this story comment down below what do you like about the story. This is just a short story to recall Moonlight's past. Hope you guys like this and I'll see you later.
Part 2-The IncidentAfter his encounter with Princess Luna, he couldn't stop thinking of what she meant of repaying him. After a long night, he flew back to his room. On the way, he saw Lox Wing and the rest of Ember's friends walked out of there house and parted ways. When he landed slowly inside his room, he closed the door and walked out of his room and headed downstairs. When he walked inside the dining room, he saw his parents and Ember cleaning up the mess after her party was over. "Let me help you, dad." He said when he grabbed a broom. Crimson just smiled and walked towards Green and whispered. "We should give them some privacy." He whispered. Green nodded in agreement and walked towards Moonlight and Ember and said. "Me and your father are heading up first. You two should finish cleaning the mess before you go back to sleep." She said. They gave her a nod in agreement. Green smiled then walked upstairs towards their room, Crimson followed after saying goodnight. "You guys really made a mess, didn't you?" Moonlight smiled with a smirk. Ember rolled her eyes and said. "At least I'm not the pegasus who was on his room all night reading a book." She responded with a grin. Moonlight wanted to respond back by saying she met Princess Luna in person, but he doesn't want anypony knowing of his secret hiding spot. So he said nothing and continued on cleaning the mess. After cleaning the birthday mess, Ember waved goodnight and teleported to her room. Moonlight sighed and headed towards his room. When he was ready to sleep. He look at the moon one more time before drifting to his dream. In his dream, he was flying while doing tricks and every time he does it, his agility and reflexes improves. When he was about to go another run, he saw the shadow figure he saw in the hill. He realized who it was and bowed. "Greetings Princess, why are you in my dream?" He greeted and asked. Luna smiled and raise a hoof signaling to rise and said. "As the princess of the night, it's my duty to dream walk into anyponies dream, destroying the nightmares and giving a happy and colorful dream." She replied. "So, this is what the time tells huh? We meet in my dream world." He said following with a sigh. "Indeed, but I have a message for you, Moonlight. Tomorrow after the moon shines, an incident will occurs near your home. You must becareful, Moonlight Sparks. You never know what will happen." Luna warned Moonlight before walking towards the moon. After a bright flash, she was nowhere to be seen. That dream woke Moonlight. He was recalling of what happened. Then lies back to his bed before fully sleep. When morning came, Moonlight yawned and walked downstairs. He was still thinking about Luna's warning, but he didn't mind that for now. He sat on the chair in the dining when Crimson walked out of the kitchen while levitating four plates of stacked pancakes. "Morning, dad." Moonlight greeted him. He smiled and said. "Morning, son. Your up early, do you have any plans for today?" He asked. He slowly put down the plates in the table. "Just gotta exercise my wings a bit." Moonlight replied with a smile. Crimson smiled back. "I see." He said. Then Green walked out of the kitchen and headed to sit on the chair. "Morning, Moonlight." She greeted with a smile. "Morning, mom." He greeted her with a smile. Out of nowhere, Ember appeared in her table. She was already seated and ready to eat breakfast. "Hi mom, hi dad, hi bro." She greeted with excitement. This made her parents giggle, except for Moonlight, he rolled his eyes and greeted her. "Your really excited today." Green said. "Yup, I can't wait to go to princess Celestia's school for gifted unicorns." Ember replied. "How about you, Moonlight? Got anything on use for your wings there." Crimson said while levitating some pancakes. "Not much. I wanted to try out on the flying academy, but I don't think I really have the time." He said before biting another pancake. "Why is that? Most of the time, you get up early and started flying. Then you come back here at noon and walked back to your room and slept. When you wake up it's almost nighttime. Then you started reading some book and flew again out of your window in the middle of the night." Crimson explained. "How did you know I was flying in the middle of the night?" Moonlight asked in shock. "Cause, were your parents. It's parental instinct, and because I saw you flying out of your window." Crimson replied. Moonlight sighed and said. "I'm sorry if I didn't tell you I just-" He was stopped by Crimson, who hugged him. Then Ember and Green walked to them and joined their hug. "It's okay, Moonlight. You have your reasons for not telling us." Green said in a calm, motherly voice. He smiled and they let go of their hug. "Besides, it is a good practice when you've become into a royal guard one day." Crimson said in a chuckle. They all burst of laughter. When they stopped, Ember is the first speak. "Um, not to ruin the moment everypony but. WERE GONNA BE LATE!!!" She screamed. Then Green realized she's almost late for work. After a quick goodbye, she flew out of their house as fast as her wings can carry. Crimson put on his armor while Ember hurriedly packed her saddlebag and they both galloped as far their legs can carry out towards their destination. Leaving Moonlight puzzled. He quickly took the plates and put them carefully on the kitchen sink. After that, he walked outside and inhaled the breeze and exhaled. He extended his wings and started flying. First he was flying above Canterlot, he even saw Green with the weather team, Ember saw Moonlight and gave him a wave. He saw Ember waving at him, he waved back before turning towards Ponyville. He never flew above Ponyville, even the everfree forest. But when he did, he was happy. He never flew as fast as he did when he was in flight school. He landed on a hill next to the everfree forest and took a quick nap near the tree. However, when he woke up, it was almost nighttime. He was shocked that he was going to be late for dinner, and his parents might be worried. He flew as fast his wings can carry him. When he reached Canterlot, he was in shock at disbelief of what he saw. Canterlot is in chaos, with the work of a lord of chaos, Discord made Canterlot into a complete chaos he wanted. There Moonlight saw his family near their home, he saw Crimson was facing Discord. He believe that he can beat Discord, or at least buy the Princesses some time to get the elements of harmony. Moonlight was still hovering in the sky, seeing his father stepping up to Discord where most ponies cower in fear. His father is none of those ponies. He smiled and in tears. Now he know what his reasons are when he dreamed of being a royal guard. So he can be brave and protect ponies like his father. But that tears of joy turned into sorrow when Crimson was strucked with a magic blast from Discord. He groaned in pain. Seeing this wanted Moonlight to fly over there and protect him. But he stopped when he saw the two royal sisters flying towards Discord. With Moonlights experience in flying, he calculated that they wouldn't make it in time. So just when Discord was about to hit another magic blast to Crimson, Moonlight tackled Crimson, evading Discord's attack. "Moonlight...what are you...doing here? Go get your sister and mother out of here." Crimson ordered. "I can help!" He responded. "No! Its too dangerous! Get out of here while you can!" Crimson ordered once more. "No! The princesses are almost here! They can make it if we distract a little longer." He said. "Now what is this? Your son? For a pegasus, you've got guts. I'll give you that." Discord said while looking at the both of them. "But that won't help you at all." He added. Then he burst out an evil laught. Then suddenly, something hit him in the back. He turned and find no one there, then he was hit in the back once more. Then he realized Moonlight was smiling. "What are you smiling at?" He asked furiously. "For a lord of chaos, you don't have much reaction on your surroundings." Moonlight replied. Then Discord was charging up another magic blast, Moonlight disappeared. Discord turned to his left and right to see if Moonlight was there. "Hello." Moonlight said when he was knocking on Discord's head. Discord was irritated and throws the magic blast above him. Then he realized that Moonlight wasn't there anymore. "Where are you?" Discord was furious. He thinked of an idea on how to lure Moonlight. He disappeared and reappeared behind Ember and Green. They were shocked and was too late to run away. Discord grabbed both of them. "Don't you hurt them, Discord!" Moonlight demanded. Discord chuckled and said. "Oh, I won't. All you need to do is stop and I'll set them free." Discord demanded. Moonlight agreed and landed near Crimson, who was still healing his wounds using his magic. Discord teleported Green and Ember near them. Then he made a wicked grin. Then he charge a magic blast and throw them at the family. Moonlight was thinking that this is his last flight. But then he looked at his family, he was happy for them. His mother was an officer of the weather team. His father is a lieutenant of the royal guard. And Ember was enrolled in Princess Celestia's school for gifted unicorns and already learned a lot of spells. While he doesn't have anything to give his all. He was ready to face his faith. After it hit them. Moonlight was shocked when he opened his eyes, he saw his mom and dad, covering him and his sister in the impact. They fall on the ground and Moonlight tried to wake them up. For the first time of his life, he was crying in sorrow. Discord laughed maniacally as he look at the family. Moonlight was filled with sorrow and anger that he gritted his teeth. When he was about to lunge at Discord, Ember stopped him. She was crying as well, but she pointed that the princess arrived. Luna and Celestia frowned at the fallen ponies that they were too late. They walked towards Moonlight and Ember, who was still crying. "We're sorry, little ones." Celestia apologized. Then she looked at Discord with anger. When Luna and Celestia took a final look at the family. They took the elements of harmony out of their saddlebags. "Ohh, what have you got there?" He asked with a wicked smile. "The elements of harmony." Celestia replied. "With it, we can use them to defeat you." Luna added. Discord burst out of laughter and said. "You should see yourselves right now, the expressions on your faces, so intense, so sure of yourselves." He said continuing to laugh. Luna and Celestia powered up the elements and all of a sudden. A rainbow was spiraling above and landed st Discord who was still laughing. He was cut off when he turned into stone. Then the royal sister cleansed Canterlot, returning everything Discord changed back to normal. They walks towards Moonlight and Ember, who was near their dead parents. "Were so sorry we let this happened, little ones." Luna apologized frowning. There was a long silence, after a minute of silence, Moonlight was the first to break the silence. "No, I'm the one who should be sorry." Moonlight said. Everyone was shocked when he said. "It's not your fault, Moonlight. You and dad did your best." Ember trying to cheer him up, he sighed and look at Crimson's body. "No, it's my fault. If I didn't leave Canterlot, I would have been here to help. Or at least distract Discord. So that the princess Luna and princess Celestia will have a lot of time to get the elements of harmony. Our parents should be alive right now." Moonlight protested. Tears falling in his eyes. Then he felt a hoof on his head. He looked up to see Luna giving him a weak smile. "Don't let your guilt get the best of you, Moonlight. If you hold it longer, it will grow and consume you." She said. "Thank you princess, I appreciate the concern, but this is a feeling I have to dealt on my own." He said. Luna nodded in agreement and turned to princess Celestia. "Let's go sister, we must return to the palace and-" Luna was stopped when she felt a dark energy coming from Moonlight. Moonlight was screaming in pain when body was in a painful state. Then slowly he was covered in a dark sphere. Moonlight felt like his body is changing. He felt his felt his wings changed from a feathered wings of a pegasus into a leathery skinned of a bat. So as his ears. Then when he opened his eyes. It turned into a dark blue slit like eyes. His mane turned from a light blue colored into a dark blue colored. When the sphere that was holding Moonlight inside slowly shrinking. What they saw shocked Ember and the two sister. "What in equestria happened?" Ember asked the princesses. They exchanged glances and Luna was first to speak. "How is this possible? I never saw a pegasus turned into a batpony before." She replied. The batpony turned to the group. Then all of a sudden, it flew away. They chased the batpony, "Where is he going?" Ember asked. Luna remembered the road below the batpony's headed. "I know where he's going. Follow me." She said. Everyone followed her. Then they reached a small hill. When they were near the walked behind a bush. There they saw the batpony sitting and closing his eyes. "You don't have to hide from me." He said without looking at them. They walked out of the bush and Ember was the first to step up. "Moonlight? Is that you?" She asked. Then Moonlight turned and faced Ember. "Yes, it's me." He replied. Then Ember ran and hugged at him. He was shock at first, but then he hugged back. They let go of the hug and Luna walked towards them and said. "I may have saw great things of you, Moonlight. Everything you've done to help other ponies. If that means risking yours." She stated and smiled. "But I never thought of you being a batpony. How did this happened?" She asked. "I don't know, I was thinking of what you've said earlier. And after that, I didn't know what happened. The next thing I knew is I'm up here." He replied. "Strange, nopony can change into a batpony. Let alone a pegasi." Luna said. Thinking of what really happened. "Let's not discuss this any further, you must rest you two. We will prepare a burial in the cementery. And tomorrow you may see them." Princess Celestia said. Which they nodded in agreement. When the two sisters flew back to the castle. Ember and Moonlight, walked towards their home, the corpse of their parents were already been delivered to the burial. Ember was about to cry, before Moonlight hugged her. She smiled and after the hug, she let out a yawn and said goodnight to Moonlight. Moonlight nodded and walked towards his room and slept on his bed. Morning came and Moonlight was interrupted by Ember who was trying to wake home up. He woke up and greeted Ember, who was shocked of what she saw. "Um, why are you looking at me like that?" He asked until he felt that his wings are soft and feathery again. His eyes returned to normal, and his mane returned to it's light blue color. He was shocked when he realized this. "Your back to normal, I'm so happy." Ember said. While she hugged him. He smiled and returned the hug. "Let's go downstairs and start eating breakfast, we might be able to go to the cemetery today." She added then she teleported downstairs to her chair on the dining room. 'I wish I could teleport like her when I need to.' He thought. Then all of a sudden, he was already sitting on his chair. Ember looked shocked when she saw him appeared there. He was confused of what just happen. Then he realized that he was already in the dining room. In front of him was Ember, who was still in shock. "DID YOU JUST TELEPORTED?!?" Author's Note Part 2 is done. If you guys liked this story. Please give a thumbs up for the story or not. Critism is allowed. If you guys spotted some mistake, please comment down below so I can fix it. More questions will be answered in the further chapter.
Part 3-Offer of a lifetime..."Am I seeing things, or did I just saw you appeared in your seat out of nowhere?" Ember asked him in shock. Moonlight was in shock as well. The last thing he remembered is that he thought to himself that if he can teleport since he was still tired after yesterday's incident. "I guess I did teleport. Weird." He responded with a puzzled look. He looked at Ember, who was giving him a blank stare. "Weird?" She said when she levitated closer to him. "You think it's WEIRD!?! This is beyond weird!!" She shouted when her face was close to Moonlight. Moonlight tries to back down, but then he was handled by Ember's magic aura and a roll of tape levitated from the kitchen and she tied Moonlight in his chair. He was struggling to get out, but with no success. "Hey, let me go." He said. He keeps struggling until he stopped to take a breather. This made Ember walked towards him in a angry mood. "How can you, for a pegasus to just teleport out of nowhere then say it's weird? This is beyond our thinking right now." She said in a furious voice. Pacing back and forth. Moonlight then had an idea. Since he teleported cause he was thinking about teleporting to the dining room. What if he thought of teleporting near the door. 'Let's give it a try then." He thought. Then he started thinking about it. When he opened his eyes, he was at the door. Ember noticed Moonlight's disappearance at the chair he was taped in, then he turned and found Moonlight. Who was about to leave the house. "Hey!! I'm not done with you yet. Get back here!!" She shouted. Only to be given a smirk from Moonlight before he flew away. This made her more angrier than before, she started galloping after him. The chase was very long, but it all stopped when Ember was panting for breath for chasing Moonlight all morning. She was about to pass out when she saw Moonlight, who was in the cemetery. He was sitting on his flank, ears lowered to his head near the graves of their mother, Green Ace and their father, Crimson Knight. She walked slowly behind him, then she saw what appeared to be tears falling from Moonlight's eyes. She didn't heard any sobbing but she saw tears falling, then a silence grew on them. It took at least a minute before she walked slowly and put a hoof on the shoulder of Moonlight. He felt a hoof on his shoulder. When he turned around, he saw Ember not angry or mad but smiling. He was glad to see his sister smiling, it makes him feel better to see his little sister smiling. He smiled back and they both hugged. After another minute, they left the hug and Moonlight was the first to speak. "It only happened yesterday, but I already missed them." He said in a sad voice. "Me too, but I know that they wanted us to live the life we wanted. They sacrifice themselves to save us, so we can live longer." Ember said. They both stared on their parents graves for another minute. "Hey I know! If you want, I can get the picnic basket and make a picnic here with them." Ember suggested with a smile. "Sure, that's a great idea." He agreed with a small smile. "I'll be right back." She said before leaving to get the picnic basket. Ember returned with the picnic basket and set it down. "I didn't bring the blanket, I rather sit on the grass. You dont mind do you?" She said. Moonlight nodded in agreement and they both took cucumber sandwiches and started eating. In the castle balcony, Princess Luna was watching Moonlight and Ember through her telescope. Princess Celestia entered the room and greeted her sister. "You felt it too huh?" Luna asked, still looking through the telescope. "Yes, what's going on, dear sister?" Celestia said. She look where Luna was looking and she saw Ember and Moonlight sitting on the grass near the graves of their parents. They were both happy and was having a picnic. She smiled, but it didn't last long. After their picnic,they were laying on the grass. Ember first spoke. "Hey, i've been meaning to ask you." She said. "What is it?" Moonlight asked. "Now that you can use magic, can you teleport the basket back to inside the house?" She asked. Moonlight was puzzled if it's possible. "I don't know, I only teleport when I thought that I want to teleport and where exactly. Let me try." He said. Moonlight closed his eyes and sighed. Then the basket levitated and it disappeared. He opened his eyes to see the basket. He was confused at first on where it had gone to. Then he saw Ember smiling. "You did it!" She said. She excitedly lunge at Moonlight and hugged him. He only smiled and returned the hug. Princess Luna and princess Celestia was shocked of what they saw. Then Luna snapped out of the shock and first spoke. "Sister, do you know what this means?" She asked. Celestia nodded in agreement and they both flew out of balcony and and towards Moonlight and Ember. Ok, now that we know you can do magic. Let's try a simple levitating spell." She said. Then a light blue aura covered Ember and suddenly levitated. Moonlight was chuckling at what he did. "This isn't funny you know." She said. "Nope, it's hilarious." He replied before laughing. Then he slowly placed Ember back on the ground. They both laughed. Then Moonlight was sensing two magical energies flying towards them. He turned and looked above, he saw princess Celestia and princess Luna flying towards them. When they landed, Ember and Moonlight bowed. "You may rise." Luna said. Moonlight and Ember stand up. "We were sensing some dark magic here." Luna said and look at Moonlight. "Oh...I...uh..." Moonlight was looking for something to say. "You might have something to do with it, do you Moonlight?" She asked still staring at Moonlight. "Not only that, I sensed the same dark magical energy before you transformed last night." She added. This made Moonlight shivered in fear. Celestia stepped up and asked in a calm voice, "How did you do that?" "I...I don't know. I kinda just think about it and it just do it." He tried to explain. "I see. But I may know the reason of why it is happening." She said. "You do?" Ember and Moonlight said in unison. "What do you mean, sister?" Luna asked. "Although, you may not know this but, before your father became part of the royal guards. Crimson Knight was using dark magic." She said. Ember and Moonlight was shocked. "Yes, I have once doubted him. But when I learned he was using dark magic, I wanted to cleansed it out of him." Luna said. "But, he admittedly told us that he was using dark magic and he was ready to give it up." She added. "And after the chaos magic of Discord struck your parents, Crimson's dark magic may have took some of the chaos from the blast and gave you the magic. That may have been the reason why you transformed into a batpony last night." Celestia continued. After of what they said, Moonlight thinking about it. He then spoke. "I can't believe this." He said. "Not only I have dark magic inside me, but it came from my own father." He added. The two royal sister glanced at each other and nodded. Luna first step up. "We may have to handle that situation to ourselves.." Luna said. Moonlight turned at Luna. "How?" He asked. "I will personally train you in using your new magic for good." She replied. Moonlight glanced at Ember who then nodded at him. He sighed and said. "I accept your offer, princess Luna." He said. Luna smiled "Good, we will start tomorrow when the moon rise again." Luna said. "For now, you two should return to your home now. You must be tired." Celestia said with a smile. "Ok, princess." Moonlight agreed. "Let's go Ember." He added. "Coming!" She said. They both walked back to their home. Luna and Celestia watched them. "I hope your plan will succeed." Celestia said. "I hope so, if Moonlight can't contain the dark magic. It could be the end of Equestria." Luna replied with a frown face. Moonlight and Ember was almost home. When they were about to walk inside, Lox landed near them. He greeted them. His saddlebag is full of tools. "Ember, Moonlight I'm glad I've found you guys. First of all, I'm very sorry of what happened to your parents." Lox said. "It's fine." Ember said. Moonlight nodded. "Okay, second of all, we really need your help. The bandits are back." Lox said. "Why us? What about the princesses?" Moonlight asked. "Well, we figured that you stood up to Discord yesterday, you can help." Lox reasoned. Moonlight noticed the Sun's going down and the moon is about to rise. "What about the guards?" He asked. "They're badly injured. These bandits are a lot tougher than they look." Lox replied. Then Ember had an idea. "Hey Lox, do you have some inventions that can he used for self defense?" She asked. "Yeah, sure. But why?" He asked. "No time to explain, let's go." She said. Grabbing Lox's hoof. Moonlight head towards his room and when the moon rised. It came back. The pain he felt last night before turning into a batpony. When it was over, he look at his hooves and looked at the mirror. He saw fangs grown, his wings was now a bat wing. He then had an idea. Ember and Lox were galloping towards where the bandits are. They hid in a bush near the bandits. "That's a lot of them, sure you can do it?" Lox asked, he was worried for Ember. "Sure. All I had to do is take them out one by one and-" She was cutted off when she heard a scream. They both look outside and found out that one by one the bandits were knocked out. The two bandits were afraid and they ran as fast as their legs can carry, but they stopped when they saw a dark figure in front of them, it slowly walk towards them while they both back away. "W-what are you?" One of the bandits asked frightened. The figure grin and said in a cold voice. "Call me, the batpony of the night." He said then he flew fast towards them, then grabbed the two of them and throws them towards the other bandits who are starting to wake up. They all knocked themselves. When they stood up, the batpony was still walking towards them. They all screamed and ran out of Canterlot, hoping to not see him again. Moonlight sighed and thought. 'I guess that's the last time we'll see those bandits again' Then he heard a rustling in the bushes with his batpony ears. He turned and saw two ponies looking at him. He saw Ember and then he flew up and straight back to their home. "Whoa, did you see that Ember? Uh...Ember?" Lox was confused that Ember teleported somewhere. "Oh well, guess I'll go home then." He said to himself. Then he flew back to his home. Author's Note That's part 3. If you guys still liking this story, please go ahead and give a thumbs up or not. Critism is allowed. There's still more where this came from. So I'll see you later.
Part 4-First Night in TrainingEmber galloped as fast as she can to get home. She was thinking of what happened a while ago. 'I hope he's alright.' She thought. When she ran inside, she immediately ran upstairs and towards Moonlight's room. When she was outside the door, she stopped and slowly opened the door. She took a peek inside the room, to find out that Moonlight was near the opened window. Moonlight was reading a book he took from his shelves. He was completely calm. "You okay?" Moonlight asked Ember while still looking on the book. "Yeah, I'm fine." She replied. Moonlight closed his book and looked at her. They stared at each other. "So, how about you?" Ember asked nervously. Moonlight smiled and walked towards Ember. Ember was about to say something when she was pulled into a hug by Moonlight. She smiled back and hugged. "You know I'm always all right. I'm just glad you are too." He replied calmly. They let go of the hug and Ember smiled again before walking out of the room. She didn't bother to teleport. She took one more look at his brother and walked out of the room. Moonlight just smiled and took one last look at the moon and goes to sleep. It's the day, when Moonlight woke up he realized that when the moon rise he will start his first training in controlling his newly gained magic. He jumped out of his bed and started stretching. After his stretching, he thought that to try teleporting again. "Hmm, I wonder what's taking Moonlight so long?" Ember asked herself while she was cooking again. Then she heard a thump on the dining room. When she walked inside the dining room, she saw Moonlight on the floor, rubbing his flank. Ember just giggled and walked towards him. "He he, what happened?" She asked. "Trying to think accurately on where I should teleport. In my case my chair." He said while pointing on his chair. Ember just giggled and helped her brother. "Don't worry, you'll figure it out. Besides, later tonight princess Luna is going to train you." She said in a smile. "Yeah, I know." He said. "Don't tell me your nervous." She said with a smirk. Then Moonlight looked at Ember with a irritated stare. "Kidding." She added. Smiling sheepishly. "I thought so." He replied. "Soo, wanna talk about something?" She asked. Moonlight raised an eyebrow. "About last night with the bandits?" He replied. Ember nodded. "Well, when I noticed the moon rising, I felt a pain in my body and I transformed again when I was in my room. So that gaved me an idea. Not only I saved you that about to fight them all alone, I also kept my transformation a secret. So my secret still stands." He explained. "Oh, right. But still, how did you know that your about to transform?" She asked while raising an eyebrow. "Remember the first time I transformed, it was very painful?" Moonlight asked, which Ember nodded. "It's just like last night. A felt a slight pain until it was increasing until its very painful." He added. "So your feeling a slight pain every time you transform." Ember cleared the statement. Moonlight nodded. "So, what about later? You know she's going to be shocked when she see you again in your batpony side, right?" She asked. "Or 'form'." She added. "Your right. But she can also sense dark magic. So it wouldn't be a surprised to her when she sense my magic. She'll know it's me." Moonlight replied. They talked about Moonlight's training all morning. When he realized it, Moonlight jumped and was about to fly out of the house. "Hey! Where you going?" Ember asked. "I'll tell you my training tomorrow. Right now, I have something to do." He replied. After he left. Ember was confused on why is he on a hurry. But she didn't mind, she does have a work of herself. Moonlight was flying above Canterlot. He test his agility and reflexes every time he sees a tight turn or a dead end alley. He even added math in the mix. He calculates his trajectory and angle. His speed can't be matched by others, so as his quick reaction and reflexes. There was a time that the wonderbolts wants him to join them in there team, be he declined. Most pegasi wants to join the wonderbolts, but Moonlight was the only one whose declined their invitation. Moonlight landed slowly at the hill where he always rest after excercise. He took a little nap under the tree. When he woke up, it was afternoon. Just hours away before the sun sets and the moon rise. He flew back to get ready for his training. When he returned, he saw at the table a picnic basket with a note. He walked towards the table and took a closer look at the note. 'Here's some food I pack for you after your training. There's some water in there if your thirsty. Busy helping Lox at his house, be back later. Enjoy. -Ember Blaze' Moonlight smiled to see his sister helping others. It doesn't really matter if he doesn't bring food. Its just for a whole night. But he couldn't deny his sister's hospitality. He walked back to his room to get ready. When he was ready, he looked at the sun who was about to set in about thirty minutes. He grabbed the picnic basket with his mouth and flew towards the royal castle. When he reach the castle. A royal stepped up and said. "Who goes there?" He said. Moonlight put down the basket and said. "Um, Moonlight Sparks, sir? Son of Crimson Knight." He replied. When the guard heard the name Crimson Knight, he nodded and opened the gates. He signaled Moonlight to follow him. Moonlight grabbed the basket again and followed the guard. Then when they reached a door with the mark of a crescent moon, he turned to Moonlight and said. "You may enter." He said before returning to his post. Moonlight nodded and pushed the door with his hoof. When he entered, the room looks like a throne room but most of the color were dark. He put his basket down near him and walked around the huge room to admire the beauty. "Your here early." A voice said. Moonlight turned around and saw princess Luna watching him from the balcony. "I said we must meet when after the moon rises. Not before the moon rise." She added. "I'm sorry, princess. It's just that there's something you should know when the moon rise." He replied. Luna was intrigue. "Fine. We will start our training after I'm done." She said softly. Moonlight nodded. "So, what are you waiting for?" Luna asked. Moonlight was confused. Then he realized that she wants him to see her at work. "Oh, yeah sorry." He apologized and ran towards Luna's side. Luna smiled as she focus her sights on the moon. Her horn lit and the sun was setting and the moon was rising. Moonlight couldn't believe it. He was at the side of the princess of the night while she was doing her work. When the moon was shining in the sky, Moonlight felt the slight pain on his body. He knew what's going to happen next. "Ugh...okay princess...here's what I meant." He said while struggling on the pain. Luna then felt the dark magic growing. Then a dark sphere covers Moonlight and when it was shrinking, it revealed Moonlight's batpony. He was panting after the transformation. Luna then sensed no dark magic growing large. She ran towards Moonlight. "What in equestria happened to you?" She asked. "Well, it turns out that the dark magic inside me is giving me a hard time when I transform every night." He said calmly. "Wait...what do you mean every night?" She asked in confused. "Every. single. night." He replied. Luna was shocked about this. But then it faded when Moonlight smiled at her. "You are not just brave, and courageous. But your heart is full of light." She said before smiling back. "Thanks, princess." He said. "We were suppose to be training right now, right?" He asked. "Oh, yeah. Right sorry, got caught in the moment there." She replied before smiling sheepishly. Then Moonlight chuckled. Moonlight's training was a bit hard, but he was able to do and finished them. Now he has to do one more thing. "To tell you the truth Moonlight, I was surprised that you were able to learn and train better to control the dark magic inside you." Luna said, smiling. "Well, I have a pretty good teacher." He said with a wink then smiled. "Now that you know how to control your magic, you must now conquer your worst nightmares. On your own." Luna said. "You have two choices, you either prove them wrong by destroying the nightmare. Or prove them wrong by accepting of what they think. It's your choice, and your choice only Moonlight Sparks. Are you ready?" She explained and asked. "I'm ready as I'll ever be." He replied. Moonlight was ready to take on the test. Luna lit her horn and the whole room was pitch dark and she disappeared. Moonlight was like floating on a sea of nothingness. Then he saw Ember. He flew towards her. "Hey Ember. I didn't know you were here." Moonlight greeted Ember. When she turned around, she was angry and furious. "YOU DID THIS!!" she shouted, Moonlight jumped back at the shout. "Huh?" He was confuser of what she said. "YOU DID THIS! IF YOU DIDN'T LEAVE CANTERLOT, OUR PARENTS SHOULD BE ALIVE RGHT NOW AND I SHOULDN'T HAVE A BROTHER WHO WAS A BATPONY!!" She shouted again. Moonlight was shocked of what she said. "No! You don't understand, even if I didn't leave Canterlot, mom and dad would still be-" he was cutted off when he was hit by a magic blast. He groaned in pain as he saw Ember who shot him on the body. He tries to stand back up, only to be hit by another magic blast from Ember. "Ember, please." He tried to plea. "NO, YOU WILL NEVER CALL THEM YOUR PARENTS!! AS FAR AS I'M CONCERNED, YOUR NOT MY BROTHER!!" Then that statement changed the mood. Moonlight froze when he heard her own sister telling him that he's not her brother anymore. Instead of sorrow and fear, it turned into fury and rage. He gritted his teeth when he was standing back up. Another bolt of magic was about to hit him. Then all of a sudden he disappeared. Ember looked side by side to see where he is. Then what she felt behind her made her shiver in fear. Moonlight didn't attack or hurt Ember, even he knew that it wasn't really her. His not that kind of pony. He would never hurt anyone he loved. He was behind her just looking above. "I'm sorry. I know I should have been there to protect you all. But that doesn't change the fact that I can't protect you now. Yes, you were right about everything. You have the means to be angry. But in the past now. The only ponies now that I can and will protect, is you. Whether your angry at me or not, I will protect you with my life. Our parents have a choice. They chose to save us. And it's my choice to save you, even if it means sacrificing myself. And yes, I will protect not just you, I will protect my friends and families from danger. I promise you that. And that's a promise I will never break. Forever." He explained. Then when Ember heard this her anger lessened and turned into sorrow and turned to Moonlight and hugged him. Moonlight just smiled and hugged back. "Promise you will protect all of us." Ember said. "You know I will. For you, sis." He replied. Ember smiled and then she disappeared. The pitch black room was gone and the throne room room is visible again, so as princess Luna. Who was so happy the she pulled Moonlight into a hug. "Do you really mean all of those words, Moonlight?" She asked calmly. "Every. Single. One of them." He replied smiling. "Congratulations, Moonlight Sparks. You have passed the test and now a choice must be made." Luna declared. "What choices?" Moonlight asked. "Will you accept the place as a Captain-in-Training of the royal guards and I will personally teach you how to raise the moon and set the sun until one day I need your help. Or will you decline the offer and return home to your sister, protecting her on your own. Your choice is final. Choose wisely." She explained. Moonlight's jaw dropped when she was finished explaining. "Wait a sec, are you really gonna be giving me this position? Like seriously?" He asked in shocked. Princess Luna smiled and replied. "I have never been more serious until today. You have proven that you have the charity-like,compassion, devotion, Integrity, optism, and the leadership of a Captain. This one choice is in your hoof. Choose wisely now." Moonlight was thinking for a whole minute until he came with a conclusion. "I accept the position of Captain-In-Training." He said calmly. "I know you will make the right choice." Luna said with a smile. "Will I still see my sister?" He asked. "Yes, but you will be seeing her less. Once I contact my sister of your offer. You will most likely to live here in the palace." Luna replied. Moonlight gave Luna a puzzled look and said. "Say what now?" "That's right,since your a captain you will have your own quarters. Separated from the guardhouse. But still, Ember can visit anytime. We will give her permission." She replied. "Now for tonight, you must return home and be ready to move tomorrow. I'll send a royal carriage for your departure." She added. Moonlight returned but still shocked of his choice. He couldn't believe that he would get to live in a castle, especially the royal sister's castle. He can't wait for tomorrow. When he was to go inside his room, he took a look around inside Ember's room and she was sleeping in her bed. He smiled and trotted back to his room. He closed his eyes knowing that tomorrow is a brand new start. Author's Note Part 4 is done. If you guys are still enjoying this story. Please tell me what you think about it.

Part 5-The MoveAll About Moonlight Sparks Part 5:The Move Written by: Moonlight Spark After last nights training with princess Luna, Moonlight still can't believe that he was appointed to be a captain-in-training of the royal guards. He would even learn how to raise the moon and sets the sun from Luna herself. When he ran out of his room, he wasted no time to get to the door. When he opened the door, he was surprised that his friends were outside waiting for him. Ember walked towards Moonlight with a smile on her face. She quickly pulled him to a hug, then everyone joined in the hug. After their group hug, Moonlight was the first to say something. “Didn't expect to get these attentions in one morning.” He said with a chuckle. Ember smiled and said, “Well, everypony says that you will achieve you dreams, you just have to believe it.” Lox stepped in and congratulated Moonlight. “Congratulations, my friend. You earned that promotion.” He said giving Moonlight a smile. Moonlight was about to say something, before one of the pegasus guards spoke. “Excuse me, Captain Moonlight but the princess are waiting for you at the castle.” One of the pegasus guards said. Everyone turned to Moonlight, who was confused on why are they looking at him. “What?” He asked. Then he saw smirks on their faces. Shadow Storm then replied. “You better hurry up and don't keep the princesses waiting, ‘Captain Moonlight’. He teased before everyone laughed. Moonlight just sighed and was about to reply. “We're just joking, Moonlight. I hope you take your new responsibilities seriously.” Softspot intervened. Moonlight just smiled and turned back to Ember, who was done laughing. “You sure you can take care of yourself while I'm gone? I could visit anytime if you need help.” He asked. Ember just shook her head and smiled at him. “Don't worry about me, I'll be fine. And I will be visiting you most of time.” She replied. “Good. Well I guess I'll see you all soon when I get back.” He said his goodbyes. Tears were falling on Softspot and Ember, even Lox dropped a tear and rub it off before anyone notices. Moonlight just smiled and turned to the guards. “Okay, let's go.” He said as he hopped on the royal chariot and sat his saddlebag on the center, in case it falls. With a simple nod, the guards took off towards the castle. It was a quick fly towards the castle. As the chariot rested on the ground, Moonlight levitated his saddlebag to his back. Then he walked towards a corridor and stopped on a huge door of the throne room. He pushed the door with his hoof and slowly walking inside. “I see you've accepted my sister's offer.” A female voice spoke. He turned on the side and saw Princess Celestia in her usual regalia. “It's good to see you again, Moonlight.” She added with a smile. “Likewise, princess.” He replied and bowed in respect. He then heard a hoofsteps on the other side of the room. He raised his head and finds princess Luna walking towards them. “I hope you don't mind, sister.” She said. Princess Celestia nodded and left the room, leaving the two of them. “Are you familiar with the rooms of the castle?” She asked. Moonlight shook his head and said, “No, princess.” “Come with me, I'll explain the details on the way.” She replied and lead the way around the castle. They were upstairs, on the way their were talking about what was the reason of his transformation and his duty as a captain-in-training. Then they approach a door. Luna pushed the door opened and they both walked inside the room. “This will be your quarters during your stay here. I hope you find it comfortable?” She asked. Moonlight just smiled and took one more look of the room before he replied. “It's fine. Thank you for asking.” “I should leave you on attending on your things.” she said before she smiled once more and walked out of the room. Moonlight had been in his room for hours, cleaning and putting all his stuff away. When he was done. He rubbed his forehead to clear it from the sweat. He then noticed something on his saddlebag, he dug into it and took out different items. The first one looks like a badge. Knowing the badge, he then remembered his mother, Green Ash. Then he looked at a rock that was glowing in a fiery color. He then knew that it was a fire rune, after that he remembered his sister Ember Blaze. Tears starting to fall on Moonlights eyes, thinking that she might have some problems and he's not there to help. The last object is a medallion. He took a closer look on what was written. ‘This medallion of gratitude will be given to Crimson Knight. A loyal, and great captain of the guards.’ It was a medallion on gratitude to his father, Crimson Knight. Then he was now crying. He laid his head on a pillow. He was worried about what will happen to Ember when he was gone. He then promised himself that he will protect his family and friends. Even risking his life. As the sun will set in a few minutes, he joined princess Luna at her side once more in hopes to learn about how to raise the moon and set the sun. When the moon was rised, he was interrupted in his thoughts by a slight pain. Now he know what will happen next. He stepped back away from the balcony on where Luna was standing. She turned around and saw Moonlight with the dark sphere slowly covering. When it was shrinking, he was back at his batpony form. Luna then thought of an idea. “Moonlight, do you have a moment?” She asked. Moonlight nodded in agreement. “Since you have dark magic inside you, did you know that dark magic can sense other magics as well?” She asked. Moonlight gave her a confused look and shook his head. “And when your a batpony, you can see much better in the night. Am I right?” “Yeah. Why?” He asked. “Because I heard about the bandit incident. A batpony was seen by witnesses and took care of the bandits. Are you apart of this incident?” She asked. Moonlight was now getting nervous. He thought that the princesses wouldn't know about it. “Ummm… Yes?” He replied nervously. But he was shocked when he heard Luna giggling. “Um, what's so funny?” He asked in confusion. “You, silly.” She replied while still giggling. “You thought I'll punish you with such heroism? She asked sarcastically. “That's why I decided to put your batpony form to good use.” She added. “I'm not following.” He replied, still confused. “Starting tomorrow night, you will patrol the night skies as a batpony and look out for disturbances.” She explained. “Ohh.” He realized then. “Wait, what!!?!” Author's Note Here's part 5.

Chapter 6-First PatrolAll About Moonlight Sparks Part 6-First Patrol Written by: Moonlight Spark The morning sun was beaming rays of sunlight through the windows of Moonlight's room. Moonlight woke, rubbing his eyes with his hooves. “I guess it's time to do some flying.” He said. As he was about to leave the room, his stomach grumbling. “But first I should get something to eat.” Moonlight walk around the castle, hoping to find the dining room. On the way he was greeted by saluting from the royal guards. “Where is it?” He asked himself. His stomach still grumbling. When he opened the door, he sigh in relief that he found the dining room. “Good Morning, Moonlight.” Princess Celestia greeted him as she was having tea with herself. “Morning, princess.” He said casually. Celestia didn't mind. She gestured to take a seat. “Luna would be awake later. For now, sit down, eat breakfast and in the afternoon you will start your training as captain of the royal guard.” Celestia said. Moonlight nodded in agreement as he ate breakfast. Breakfast is done, Moonlight smiled at the princess and said, “Thank you for the breakfast, princess Celestia.” He said. “You're welcome, Moonlight.” She said. After that, Moonlight walked out of the room and finds his way towards the entrance. He made his way towards the entrance, he extended his wings and flew upwards. He made his way upwards before he crossed his wings on his chest and now falling. Like he calculated, he recovered and extended his wings and now flying, almost hitting the ground. He fly up again and started doing maneuvers. After an exhausting practice, he made his way on the hill near Canterlot. On the way, he saw Ember who was hanging out with Lox Wing, Softspot, and Shadow Storm at Suagrcube Corner. He continued his flight until he slowly glided downwards on the hill. There he walk into a tree and took a nap. When he woke up it was afternoon, he stand up in four and started stretching. After his exercise, he realized that he's late for his training. He expanded his wings, gave it a few test flaps before he flew upwards. When he reached the training ground, there he saw new recruits. Some are exercising, some are resting, and some are having a sparring match with each other. Moonlight was nervous at first, then he saw princess Luna. She seem to be talking with Moonlight's instructor. Luna spotted Moonlight and gave a wave. “Moonlight Sparks, I'm glad your here. Allow me to introduce your instructor Blossom Flare. Blossom, this is Moonlight Sparks captain in training. Blossom Flare stepped forward and extended a hoof. “It’s nice to meet you, Captain.” She greeted with a smile. “Likewise.” He greeted and extended his own for a hoofshake. “I must be off now. I still have some important business to attend to.” Luna said her goodbye’s. It took the whole afternoon, but it was over. All he want to do is go to his room and sleep the rest of the night. Apparently, he felt the pain growing and after that dark sphere covering him. When it was over, he was back to his batpony form. He sigh and made his way towards the castle. Once he is inside, he walked the rest of the way towards Luna’s room. He knock on the door until it opened. He stepped inside and saw Luna, who was waiting for him. “I'm glad you made it.” She said. “Tonight, you will fly above Canterlot and what you need to do is make a scout report every patrol, every night. If there is some disturbance, like the bandits last time. All you need to do is stop them. If it's some magic disturbance that you can't do alone, return here and report it to us. Understood?” Luna explained. Moonlight nodded as he flew out of the room. He scour Canterlot for any signs of trouble or disturbances. It wasn't too long until he heard trouble below him. It was the bandits from last time. He sighed and said, “They're back already?” He asked himself. He lunge himself towards the bandits. “Ok, that's everything. Let's go before-” One of the bandits was cutted off when something explode near them. All the bandits were knocked back. Some of them was unconscious, only three bandits left. They shook their heads, and it wasn't longer till one of them disappeared and spotted already unconscious. Only two left, another one was thrown and crashed near a wall. The last bandit is a unicorn, he stand his ground and he got a lucky hit on the wing of the vigilante, but it didn't slow it. He was caught and thrown to a wall. After finishing up, Moonlight tied all six bandits. He check his injured wing to see if it's bad. Thankfully, it wasn't that bad. He walked his way to his home where Ember is still awake. He knocked on the door. Ember opened the door to see who was knocking this late. Ember was shocked but she pulled Moonlight in a hug. “Moonlight, oh I miss you. Tell me, how was your first day. Was it fun?” She asked. Moonlight opened his mouth to speak before he was cut by a gasp from Ember. Then Ember took the injured wing and take a good look in it. “What happened?” She asked. “It's fine.” He replied. Ember suddenly aim her horn towards the injured wing of Moonlight. After a little spark, Moonlight's body is covered by the magic aura of Ember. After a minute, it disappeared so as the injury. Moonlight was impressed and amazed by Embers’s healing. “How did you do that?” He asked. “I read a book about supportive/defensive spells. So I thought to myself that I'll learn them so I can help anypony in trouble.” She replied with a smile. Moonlight only smiled and pulled her in a hug. “Thank you.” He said. “No problem, if you have any injuries like that you know where to find me. Anyway I'm off to bed, good luck on your training.” She said as she walked upstairs. Moonlight only smiled and walked outside. He closed the door and extended his wings. He flew upwards and towards the castle. He knew what Ember is capable of. He now have somepony to talk to if he gets injured in the future. Author's Note Part 6 is done. Sorry if it took so long.
