Sunset sat on the edge and wept bitterly, her tears falling into the waters below, the still pond below her, beckoning her toward her final end, her thoughts on the ones who hadn't yet betrayed her, her silent apologies going out to those on the other side.

She leaped, the rope going taut as gravity reasserted itself as she fell shortly before stopping, a sickening crack echoing as the orange girls hands fell limply too her front, her hands bound, a ear too ear smile plastered too her face, her head disjointed as the fall pulled the invertebrate out of alignment, severing her spinal cord, her eyes still trickling tears, her body slowly swinging as a cold wind blew in.

***

Luna was out on her balcony, doing her favorite activity as she put stars in the sky, she eventually got to her favorite star, the shimmering yellow and red north star, it hadn't started out that way, but after twilight had gone on her mission to get her crown back, the star had burst forth with color and grew brighter until its radiance was enough to go next to the first one, the colors complimenting each other, until one day the star's light waned, its radiance still beautiful, but dimmer.

Luna noted that over the weeks its radiance waned, and flickered, like a dying candle, until today when she reached out to ignite it, it was gone, replaced with the dying heart of a star, Luna reached out, asking for what caused its premature dimming, knowing that there was only one way for a star like this to go out.

The dying star, the last consciousness of the one it represented, gave too Luna all that it could, its last moments telling Luna a story who's fate was worst then death, but Luna refused to let it die, so she took it from the sky, and put it in limbo, where it shall stay until she had the other piece.

With the star's heart no longer decaying, Luna looked to her sky and screamed, a heart broken scream, the scream of a mother losing her child, a sister losing her sibling, a primal scream one that shook the windows and rattled doors.

"SISTER WHAT HAPPENED?" Celestia cried, Luna's scream subsiding as she simply wept on the spot.

"L-l-l-look too the sky sister, is there a star missing?" Luna choked out.

"where is Sunsets star?!"

"Its gone out, Its light extinguished, but first we must tell Twilight, its last wish is that she finds out." Luna said, collecting herself, still crying her wings unfurling, but stopping when she saw Celestia simply stop and drop too the ground before slumping over, her hooves on her face, tears coming out as she silently wept, for she knew what a star going out meant.

"I'll go by my self then, I'll let Twilight know." Luna continued, before Celestia got up and unfurled her wings, taking off without saying anything too Luna, tears still cascading from her face.

***

Twilight was pacing, Sunsets last message was making her worried, the thought of Sunset who always had a strength in her, broken enough too Take her own life, it scared her, it scared her badly, but her thoughts were interrupted, as the sound of breaking crystal echoed through the castle, Twilight ran too find out what had enough impact.

"P-P-PRINCESS LUNA, PRINCESS CELESTIA WHAT HAPPENED?!" Twilight shouted, noticing the tears escaping Celestia and Luna's face

"Sunset shimmer is dead, her star went out, and we know who were responsible, the dying heart of her star told me" Luna said, watching as Twilight stop and sit, tears forming before it was too much and she let loose a scream like that of someone who is under going the pain of thousands in a single second, the sound causing every window in the castle to explode outward, but it wasn't just the castle, every building in ponyville had its window's blown out, by the force of twilight's canterlot voice.

"I TRUST THEM, I TRUSTED THAT THEY WOULD PROTECT AND GUIDE HER, I TRUSTED THAT SHE WOULD HAVE SHOULDERS TOO CRY ON TOO HAVE SUPPORT, BUT I GUESS I WAS WRONG, THOSE LITTLE FUCKING BASTARDS!!!!!!" twilight shouted as her coat and mane turned orange, the alicorn magic amplifying its transition until Twilight was no literally fire, Celestia and Luna made no move to stop her.

"sister, i can't believe im suggesting this, but Sunset died unfairly, it think its time to break a few laws." Luna said, giving her the knowing eye

"You know what, im tired of not being able to stop those i love most being taken from me, for this travesty, I'm going to send a message, one that will leave a LASTING impression."

As she said that, a third thump echoed behind the Burning form of Twilight, Cadence stood there, Look as though she had seen sombra return, a gaunt look plastered across her features.

"aunt Luna and Celestia, I felt a great loss, The loss of a loved one before it was time, I cant seem to find them in equestria." Cadence said.

"Sunset shimmer died, she was broken down too the point where she felt death was her only escape, by the ones she loved and the ones she trusted!!!" Twilight spat venomously .

Cadence being the second youngest alicorn, but the one with the least control over her magical center, Transformed on the spot, the hate rising in her heart taking shape as her pink coat turned dark red, her two Broken hearts replacing her crystal hearts.

"I AM HEARTBREAKER, ALICORN OF VENGEANCE!!!" heartbreaker called out, before turning her eyes on the others.

"You know why we allow you to exist, right?"

"too take vengeance on the ones who broke Sunsets heart."

Celestia smiled as she took down her defenses, her mane and tail turning into fire, her eyes becoming the black and orange, Luna tried not to recoil from the nightmare come too life, but she too was waiting to change, she wasn't afraid this time.

"welcome daybreaker, Alicorn of the unrelenting sun," Heartbreaker said, before turning too Luna and Twilight looking at them expectantly, Luna arched her back as shadow surrounded her, before it fell away, revealing the face of an old enemy, but twilight simply smiled, her thoughts discarding any pretense of hiding her hunger for vengeance.

"So my faithful student, you know that alicorn magic has a dark side, what is yours?" Daybreaker said, before Twilight's horn sparked with dark magic, her form growing and stretching until her wings were raven wings, but big enough to sport a alicorn.

"I AM MIDNIGHT SPARKLE, ALICORN OF BROKEN SOULS!!!" she said, the other's nodding

***

Starlight was half asleep when she hear a name ring out, one that she thought she would never hear, one that she thought was only a nightmare, she shook her head thinking she was hearing things, until she hear another name, the other one that she thought was locked in her nightmares.

"daybreaker, and nightmare moon, whats going on?!" she said out loud going to the noise, freezing in fear when she saw them in flesh and blood, but what scared her was when twilight transformed, her cutiemark turning into a fractured star, she heard her call out her name.

"I AM MIDNIGHT SPARKLE, ALICORN OF BROKEN SOULS!!!" she called out, the others nodding before the dark red alicorn saw her, Starlight was about to make a break for the door before she was covered in a gentle red aura, dragging her towards the group, the sounds of her hooves scraping fearfully against the crystal as she thought she was going to die.

"now what do we have here, a little eavesdropper, its not nice too eavesdrop on conversations." the red alicorn said, before gently putting her down in the center of the four.

"here, I'll show you what has transpired, now hold still." the dark alicorn said, as she touched her horn too her head, the memories of what Luna remembered up too this point filled her head, when she lifted away, Starlight no longer looked afraid, instead a gleeful smirk was on her face.

"Give them tartarus, make them pay for her death, show them why equestria hasn't been invaded since the war with sombra, make sure the effect is LASTING!!!" starlight encouraged

The four alicorns nodded, before Midnight sparkle brought forth the mirror, each one going through it, the magic of the mirror barely holding under the strain of four angry alicorn princesses who have take hold of their entire magic arsenal, protected by dark magic, going through it, into a world that isn't ready for its long over due justice.

***

"You're not done yet, you still got life left in you, so stay strong Sunset, be ready for the on coming storm, for you're going to play a major part." A voice called out from the void, Sunset's glowing soul not quite close enough to see the light as she was thrust into limbo.

It looked just like canterlot, but there was no one around, she shook the feelings of unease, looking around until she came upon a being wrapped in a cloak, dark as the night cold as death.

"Where am i?" She asked, not sure if this thing is evil or not.

"Limbo, Since someone out there are willing too subvert the rules of death and life, just to save you, but after seeing what caused you too do this, I cant blame you, though in a few moments, I'm about to become a whole lot more busy, but first though, my mission is too keep you here until the time is right." the being answered

"why stay here if there is a way out and what do you mean subvert the rules?"

"I mean that normally if a pony or human dies i escort them to their respective after life, but some one in your world made it impossible for me to do so and put you in limbo, with the intent of bringing you back."

"Oh."

***

Four extremely beautiful women wearing battle Armour stood on the night steps of canterlot high, they stood looking around before they turned to the school, joining hands before shooting a multiple colored beam at the front, blowing the doors off, then the beam shot out and up, causing the entire school too glow and explode, the four women looked pleased as they turned to the night.

"ready or not here we come humanity, your sin's will haunt you for the rest of you night." all four said as they took off, looking for Sunsets body, with Nightmare Moon guiding them.
