In the Castle Gardens

~Canterlot Statue Gardens: Months after Sombra's Banishment~

It was months after the defeat of the tyrannical king, King Sombra, and life went on. That is...

Until the Seed of Destruction began to crack.

No one knows the true origins of this statue, not even the Celestial Sisters themselves. They only know that their father wanted them to protect it for his final wish before he died.

"My Celestia, protect the *Seed of Destruction*... and take care of your sister"

There were many speculations and rumors that went around it.

"It's an evil seed that's been sealed within the concrete!"

"No, it's just a normal statue that hosts the spirits of evil!"

"But it's a seed! It's name is the *Seed of Destruction** so it must be that.*"

There were many more but our focus on the source of the rumor, no?

"Princess Celestia!"

Celestia blinked as a guardstallion barges in, disrupting the Day Court "Yes?" she inquires politely all the while sending the nobles who gave the guardspony the stink eye before raising her hoof to stop the panting pony and dismissed her court seeing the importance from his desperate eyes.

The pony panted, nervousness clear in his eyes "The Seed your majesty!" he gasps making Celestia sit straighter, wings stiff and eyes narrow "It's beginning to crack!!" he continued and jumped when Celestia suddenly stood up and started to gallop out of the room "Awaken my sister and summon the elements along with Discord! Gather the guards, contact Princess Cadence and Shining Armor! Immediately!" she ordered towards the other guardsponies that were at the entrance as she galloped to her tower.

While she did she had passed the statue gardens and saw the infamous Seed of Destruction, who's bottom was cracked and was slowly, very slowly making it's way upwards.

She galloped faster and went into her personal chambers looking around frantically, her horn a lit as she used a tracking spell to find what she needed. She perked as her spell found it and quickly summoned it, what she summoned was a red chest with black designs but it looked quite ominous and slightly demonic looking.

Twilight was worried, her friends were worried, even Discord was worried. They had brought with them the Elements of Harmony.

"I wonder what happened to have Princess Celestia summon us with the Golden Ribbon. Not even Discord or Sombra had it!" she said, the others nodding and while had it been any other situation Discord would have been hurt and be well Discord but Twilight had a point.

The Golden Ribbon was very important, especially if Celestia herself used it. It signified ultra importance and more, not many ponies use it and Celestia was even less in fact in the last 200 years she never used the Golden Ribbon! No one used a golden ribbon with their scrolls anymore unless it contained ancient magic or something extremely and ultimately important.

Before anypony else could say anything the chariot stopped as they arrived in Canterlot.

Quickly they were led to the throne room and meet with Princess Celestia and Princess Luna.

"Princess Celestia! Princess Luna!" they called out as they entered the room, they found the Celestial sisters waiting with grim faces along with a red chest with ominous black designs on it. The two sisters greeted the Mane Six plus One but the usual greeting was laced with tension and grim.

"Princess Celestia, Princess Luna what's going on?" Twilight asked as Princess Luna excuses herself to leave, taking the red chest with her. Celestia's face looked worried and grim "The Seed of Destructionhas cracked Twilight... We believe it may be 'blooming'" she says making Twilight gasp and Discord straightened in surprise.

The other 5 however sent a confused look at each other "Um, princess? What's this 'Seed of Destruction' you're talking about?" Rainbow asks loudly and surprisingly it was Discord who answered.

"There is a statue in the statue gardens that's called 'Seed of Destruction', nopony knows where it came from or what it is. Not even Celestia and Luna or myself, but we doknow it is powerful, extremely so that even my chaos magic couldn't affect it..." he said with a serious face as the others looked at him in surprise "Before when I had taken over Equestria I had tried to make the Seed 'bloom' but I never succeeded because whatever's in that statue is powerful and magic resistant... It seems really familiar though but I can't remember why it feels so familiar" he murmurs but it was loud enough for the whole group to hear.

Celestia nodded "Discord is right, neither Luna nor myself knows of its origins but our Father did" the Mane 6 gasped at the mention of her father but she paid no heed and continued "However he has never told me about the statue, only that it has to be protected. In fact, his dying wish was for it to be protected and for me to... take care of my sister..." she says somberly lowering the mood.

The Sun Goddess shook her head before looking back up in determination "I had failed my Father's words for my sister, though she has come back to me I had still failed but I will not fail again. But I may just have to as I know so little of the Seed, I had tried to research it but nothing came up. Come we must go to the gardens, it's cracking very slowly but soon it will awaken" she urged as they trotted out of the throne room and into the gardens.

When they arrived at the gardens they gasped as they saw the statue.

It was littered with cracks that were slowly going all over the statue, heading for the top but somehow they had not fallen into pieces. Around the cracking statue were guardsponies that all held their spears while the unicorns made a barrier around the statue should anything happen.

Princess Luna stood with them, the red chest in front of her as she also used her own magic to aid their barrier "Greetings once again. We see you sought to join us, very good." Luna said to them as they approached. Pinkie suddenly rushed over, poking at the chest "Ooo~ Mysterious red box! What'sit do?!" she asks the Night Goddess eagerly.

"Our Father hath given us this chest in his will, the letter that had cometh with the chest just said the chest would help with the Seed of Destruction" Luna told them as they turned to look at the statue, Fluttershy whimpered and hid behind Discord who smiled reassuringly at her.

"Woah, that thing looks like it could pop any minute! And with the name 'Seed of Destruction' it can't be anything good!" Rainbow said, eyes narrow in determination as she tensed just looking at the seed "It's designs are quite lovely though" Rarity said with a small smile as she eyed the carved diamonds but frowned at the cracks that ruined the designs.

"Well, Ah reckon we should all stand guard. Nopony knowswhat is can do so keep yer guards up and be ready for anything" Applejack told them sternly with them nodding in agreement, the princess of the sun smiled "Very wise words Applejack" she complemented and the farm pony blushed and just readjusted her stetson "Aw shucks..."

The some-what peaceful moment was broken as one of the guardsponies yelled that the statue was completely cracked! Small bits of stone were beginning to fall off as wisps of red energy were leaking out of the statue.

"Everypony stand your ground!" Celestia and Luna commanded as their horns sparked to life along with their wings open and tense, Discord looked determined as he glanced at Fluttershy who sent him a thankful smile, the elements around the Mane 6 glowed with potential energy.

The Seed was beginning to 'Bloom'

Awakening, Slight Past and Surprising

~???'s PoV~

Being stuck in stone sucks ass, there's nothing much to do besides sleep, dream, sing, watch the sky, watch and listen to the ponies that come by, count the leaves, and just rememberthings!

I watched as the ponies panicked as my prison cracked, it was funny. How can I watch ponies when I'm all curled up like this? I honestly have noidea but at least I didn't go crazy! And I think just staring into the darkness would have made me crazy anyway so I don't question it.

I watched Luna arrive with my chest, good, that'll make things easier and hopefully it actuallyworks... Here's to hoping! Though really, Celly and Lula have grown beautifully~ Huh, they don't look too happy though... Damnit Solly! Did you just?! Ugh! Fine! I guess you were too butt hurt when I whooped your ass in front of your kids and wife that you modified my request!

... I still miss you though, even if you were a sore loser... and a troll.

{1,745 years ago}

"Someone's going to get hurt if they don't come out and tell me where the fuck I am!" I raged as I was suddenly in a forest "Elliot! Where are you?! This is not funny dude!" I shouted as I looked around.

What the heck happened?!

...

Oh fuck

~Flashback: Hours Earlier

I shared a grin with my brother Elliot as we moved through the crowded halls of the convention, wow there were more people than last last year![ I saw some good cosplays that were awesome! Then... there were the cosplays that were.... questionable **shudder****

But anyway, I was sure me and my brother were in awesome costumes! We had a theme going, we're cosplaying as the human forms of Yveltal and Xerneas~ I was Yveltal and my brother was Xerneas!

He was wearing a nice blue with gold trimming tailcoat with a white formal undershirt, the tailcoat was long sleeved and it's 'tails' reached the back of his knees. He had matching black formal pants along with black gloves with golden cuffs. For footwear he designed it after Xerneas' hooves.

He looked awesome!

I on the other hand was wearing a white-tuffed and high collar modified black jacket with gray diamond designs, the sleeves were modified to elongate and to make Yveltal's wings/claws with the same design of Yveltal's wings underneath and over my sleeves. I had a big ribbon around my waist that acted like a belt but had an extra that was designed to be Yveltal's claw/tail complete with design. I wore a skirt that was just below my knees and was crimson and white with black trimmings with black shorts underneath is to prevent perverts from looking~! And finally for footwear I wore crimson knee-socks with black and red trimming boots!

All in all we were both awesome looking! But one problem, we didn't get to finish our headpieces in time for the convention. So unfortunately we weren't complete but we weren't going to miss this convention!

And yes, we made our outfits. Elliot and I were gifted in the art of sewing and more! Though I can't quite cook like him, then again he can't really swim like me either. Seems like a twin thing.

Back to me and my brother, we're twins! We're identical twins but after we turned teenagers we no longer looked that much identical, gender difference and all that. Anyway, I toyed with my red hair, Elliot and I dyed our hair for the cosplay his was blue and braided while mine was red and was in a low pony tail! Another thing was our pokeball earrings, we kept our earrings on each others opposite ears, I had mine on my right ear while my brother has it on his left ear.

Anyway, as I look around the convention I spot something that caught my eye. I grinned and whispered to my twin "Elliot!" I pulled him from his newly purchased manga book, it was Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood by the way, and I drag him towards the stand that caught my eye. The guy that was before us walked away with his purchased item so it was our turn.

"Elaine, what are you-!" I hear my brother cutting himself off as he sees what caught my attention.

Two headpieces that were obviously for Yveltal and Xerneas. And they were PERFECT !!

I grinned cockily at my brother "I know right?" I said as I fished out his and my wallet as I eyes two other things with a big grin "How much for those headpieces? Oh! And those weapons?" I asked as the merchant replied with a polite tone "150 bucks total" I see my brother looking at me with a questioning glance but stops as he sees at what I'm pointing at.

I know, I am the Best. Sister. Ever~! Not to mention this is best stand this year!

The weapons I'm talking about was the red and white battler-axe hammer and the crystal-looking bow that had other crystals protruding from it:

AWESOME

I got out 75 dollars from both our wallets and paid the merchant, my brother wouldn't complain it was clear he wanted the same!

After we thanked the merchant we walked away with out two new items in hand. I looked at my new war-axe hammer, I grinned as I find out that the hammer part could be detached and had an inner chain that was connected to the weapon. Sweet! I reattached the hammer back on and did the same with the axe. Double sweet! After that turned to my new headpiece, it was kind of like a crown and the red part would blend in my red hair nicely and the two horns that pointed forward looked so cool!

I exchanged a grin with my twin as we put on our headpieces at the same time "Lookin' good" I complemented him as he shot back "Not bad yourself". We probably laughed harder than we should have but who cares?! This was a good day!

I felt a tug at my 'tail/claw' and suddenly I'm being forced backwards and I could see my brother like me, our eyes met as we were both pulled into wormholes. The last thing we said before we both disappeared from our world were our names.

"ELAINE"

"ELLIOT"

{Flashback End}

"RAAAAAAAGGGGHHHH" I screamed in rage as I swung my not-plastic-but-actual-metal war axe-hammer. Decapitating a whole tree as I did.

For the first time ever I was alone and for the first time since I was 9, I cried my whole heart out. After destroying a few trees of course.

"ELIIIIIIIOOOOOOOT"

{Present Day}

*Crick, Crack*

I could feel it. I was so close to being free! I hear some pony commenting loudly of my near freedom and someone who I think is Celestia commanding the others to stand their ground and something but I'm too focused on 'blooming' here.

Hopefully my chest would take care of the damage and limit it, but it wasmade by Midnight so it may do it's job.

The giant statue was now not a statue, the stone that had no color was now in pieces on the ground around the colored 'Seed'. It was dark grey with lightish grey design but wisps of red power appeared around it as it started to float a bit.

*HISS BOOM*

Suddenly the world within the barrier seemed to explode and unicorns along with the princesses gasped as they felt their magic being rapidly drained by the red explosion.

"Everypony step back! T'is draining our magic!" Luna commanded as they scrambled back from the rapidly destroying barrier, the seed was vaguely seen within the red dome that seemed to suck life and magic, Luna stepped back but remembered the red chest and kicked it forward.

The red and black chest touched the edge of the growing red dome of explosion and it seemed to stop as a bluish violet magical aura emitted itself from the chest and surrounded the explosion "This magic..." whispered Celestia as Luna continued"T'is feels like..." "Mother" they whispered together as they watched in awe as their mother's magic encased the dome.

As fast as it started it ended slowly, when the blusih violet dome of magic went back in the red chest did they approach the crater that had been caused by the red explosion. As they looked down, ready to right for their lives they found the 'Seed' but it was smaller than it's original size.

Before anypony could say anything the egg-like seed twitched and they were on guard once more but they stepped back once again when the seed floated up in the air and watched in awe as it unfurled three sides. One on the left and the right and one that unfurled downwards to reveal what was inside.

There standing in the air was a strange bipedal being. It had a long red 'mane' that hung in a low ponytail as it had a white tuff around its neck and had black with the same grey design from the egg, its right and left 'hooves' were like claws or wings as it hung from its side but it seemed to be like an outer coat as beneath that was a crimson corset that matched the crimson and white skirt with black trimmings. Its belt acted like a tail or another claw as it swayed in the non-existent wind. Its back 'hooves' were encased in black and red boots and did not look like hooves at all!

It opened its eyes and those who saw it gasped as they looked at it, it had light blue eyes and a white pupil that seemed to glow with restrained power.

Its gaze focused on the princesses and Discord as it spoke in a soft feminine voice detailing its gender "Celestia, Luna and Discord... It is nice to see you three again after all these years" 'she' said as she floated down to their eye-height.

They didn't move "Who are thee strange being? Will thou harm our ponies?!" demanded the princess of the night, horn crackling with power as she glared at the other female. Discord's eyes were focused on the strange female's eyes 'Those eyes feel so familiar' thought the draconequus but he didn't voice it, not when things were still so tense.

She chuckled softly before answering "No, I won't harm your ponies. I believe the red chest your father left you is here?" she questioned as the two sisters tensed at the mention of their father "How do you know our father? How do you know of the chest?" Celestia asked with a hard tone making the floating creature chuckle once more.

~Elaine's PoV~

I chuckled at the two sisters, oh they were still cute even if they were adults.

"I know your father well, as well as your mother" I told them as I saw the chest and turned towards it, I know their spears and potential spells were pointed at me as I stepped on the ground and knelt in front of the red and black chest as it opens all on its own. Oh, the magic in it feels just like Midnight's, I really miss her too.

"Your mother made me this chest" I told them as three silver circles float out of the chest and rapidly attached themselves on to me, one turning into a choker around my neck and the other two turning into ribbons as they wrapped themselves around my arms "Why?" Celestia questioned as the chest closed and I rose from my place on the ground, I felt my destructive and life-sucking power lock itself away temporarily.

"Because I asked her to" I answered as I turned back to them, they were surprised to see my gentle smile but inside I was grinning mischievously "My Dear Celestia and Luna, my have you two grown beautifully. Your both the perfect blends of your parents. And hello Discord old friend, I've heard you accomplished your dream" I told them.

They were taken back and the three immortals shared a look before looking back at me "You know us?" Discord asked hesitantly and I nodded "Yes, but I doubt you three remember me. Celestia and Luna were mere babies the last time I met them and Discord was always forgetful back then, but I would be surprised if you did remember me" I said happily as their eyes widened "But a Godmother never forgets her godchildren and a Babysitter never forgets as well" I said while mentally laughing.

"WHAT?!"
