Twilight woke with a stir as she realized she was not in the dark castle that sheltered her from the harsh outside, but to a small cave she had found. She moved her soar neck to look around, but was halted when she felt a warm breeze landing softly on her purple fur. She lifted her gaze slowly, but relaxed as she saw Sombra sleeping soundly next to her. A soft smile spread across her face as she watched him chest rise and fall. Twilight chuckled to herself before trying to get up. Only to no veil as she was in a tight embrace with Sombra. A soft blush escalated across her muzzle. She sighted heavily before resting her head on Sombra's hooves. Twilights eyes softly closed once again.

A few hours later...

Twilight awoke again to the uncomfortable ground and bleak cave. Her eye's narrowed at the fire, which had been reduced to ash. The remains drifting along the ground. She rubbed her eyes with her hoof, before standing up and looking around. Her vision was blurry at first, but adjusted as she blinked; sleep faintly present in her eyes.

"Morning my little raven." Sombra cooed from behind. Twilight smiled as she turned and watched Sombra walk over to her.

"Morning." Twilight cooed back, resting her head on Sombra's neck. Sombra returned the gesture. "What's our next plan of action?" Twilight murmured into his ear softly, as if somepony was going to overhear her. Sombra pulled away slowly, staring deep into Twilight's curious eyes.

"Well first, we need a place of operation. We can't stay here. We need to keep moving, or the royal guard....." Sombra spoke, but trailed off into nothing but a whisper. Twilight's eyes narrowed into slits at the mention of the royal guard. Ohhh, when she'd get her hooves on them! She'd make them pay, especially if she met that guard that escaped from their castle....ohhh and Celestia! She couldn't wait to make her suffer. Suffering will be her teacher....

It was high afternoon in Canterlot, where a busy and frustrated princess ambled around her room. Princess Celestia had been stuck in her room ever since she and Luna had returned from Ponyville. Her devastating conversation with Twilight's friends, the other Element Barres, had really worked her up. She could still hear her conversation with them in her head. They cared about Twilight so much...

Flashback!

"Twilight!?" Spike had called racing toward the door as it opened, but froze as Celestia and Luna entered. Their faces were grim, to everyponies dismay. Celestia casted Luna a quick look, to which Luna could only dip her head in response. Celestia took a deep breath, before speaking. Pinkie Pie, Rainbow Dash, Rarity, Applejack, and Fluttershy had gathered around, waiting for any good news.

"D-did y-you get Twilight b-back?" Fluttershy rasped as she tried to stay calm long enough for Celestia or Luna to say SOMETHING.

"I-im sorry." Celestia replied in a mellow tone. ''W-we didn't make it in time..." she continued. Loud respires came from the group of mares. Fluttershy crouched into a small ball and began to hyperventilate rapidly. Pinkie Pie, who was usually her happy, bouncy self, was now as quite as the air itself. She solemnly trotted over to Flutttershy and wrapped hoof around her; pulling her into a tight hug. Rainbow dash just stared wide eyed while Applejack held a distressed face while holding her hat close to her chest. Spike held on tight to Rarities leg and cried in her fur. Usually the fashionista would try to keep her fur clean, but this was a...special occasion to where she could only hold onto him. Celestia watched the girls hug each other and cry softy.

"When I get my hooves on Sombra...Oho...I'm gonna snap his horn off and shove it in his heart so he KNOWS what true suffering is!'' Fluttershy said, breaking the silence. Everypony took a step back from the pegasus.

''OKAY....Fluttershy...you need sleep...''Rainbowdash replied. The usually quiet and peaceful pegasus shrank down into a ball and stayed put.

''What DID happen?'' Rarity asked raising her head. Celestia and Luna shared a glance before finally coming clean.

''Gather around my little ponies...'' Princess Celestia spoke. The mane 5 gathered around and listened. Spike sat hugged Rarity's leg as she held onto him. Celestia and Luna sat down as Celestia began telling them the events. From what Celestia saw...there was so much pain, terror, confusion, anger, and disgust. She got up with a sight and stared at the girls as she finished.

''So, what's our next course of action!'' Fluttershy inquired menacingly. Everypony turned to her, eyes wide with fear.

''Well, for now, you are going to help the citizens of Ponyville. They'll need protection.'' Celestia responded.

''But without Twilight the Elements of Harmony won't work!'' Pinkie Pie said. The girls all nodded and stared at the alicorns.

''We'll be leaving royal guard members here to help guard.'' Luna responded, to which Celestia smiled at her sisters quick thinking. Rainbowdash stepped forward finally.

''Whoa, whoa! That's basically labeling Twilight as a dangerous enemy that we should kill on sight!'' She spoke clearly so everypony could hear. Luna exchanged a glance toward Celestia, which she gave Luna a scowl.

''You don't think Twilight can still be turned back to our side do you sister?'' Luna asked.

''Of course I think that! She's probably confused and angry is all, and we have to help her back on the right path.'' She replied. The girls nodded in agreement with Celestia. Even thought Twi was evil, they would do everything in their power to help her. She was their friend after all.

''Then its settled, we will help Twilight and get her back.'' Luna sighed, still thinking it was hopeless. The two Alicorns turned and left after saying farewell. The two were flown back to the castle where Celestia had gotten medical help and Luna took up her shift in the night.

Flashback Ends!

''Oh Twilight...we'll save you from the creeping shadows...before they pull you under forever...'' Celestia said. ''....I promise...''
