Chapter 1: The Tree of Sorrow

The Princess goes out into the Everfree forest every cycle of the full moon to check up on the tree of harmony without her sister Celestia noticing her movements through out the night. Years have passed without any signs of the second tree sprouting, so Luna decided to check up on the tree less often until she was checking the tree once per year. After around 6,000 years of repeating the same task Luna was starting to wonder why was she given such a task and why is was so important that the opposite tree should sprout in the first place.

"Sister!" Princess Celestia called out to Luna.

"Yes, Celestia." Luna replied.

"I know that you have been sneaking out of the castle for the past 50 odd years at the same time on the same day. I would like to know where have been going for these years." Celestia asked.

"It is hard to explain sister." Luna announced

"Okay then, no need for details just the basics" Celestia reinsured her sister hoping to enchounange her sister of telling her the story.

"So you really want to know where I've been going every year. Well ... unfortunately I have been doing this for the past 6,000 years." Luna started to explain.

"Keep going i am listening." Celestia spoke when Luna was gathering thoughts.

All of this all started when StarSwirl approached me asking me to flow him. So i did without any heassations, we walked for a bit in silence until he said. "You know about my studies of the magic on the elements of harmony right?"

"Yes." I replied.

"Well until a couple of days ago my studies on the elements were going it usual pace (slow) until all of a sudden all of the elements starting to muck up on each other so I started walking around and found this ..." StarSwirl stopped and pointed at a strange tree in the middle of a group of the other trees.

"What is it?" I asked

"To be honest i have no idea but i also noticed that tree has 6 gems on it." StarSwirl said with a bit of a concerted tone in his voice.

"How long has this tree been here?" I asked looking him straight into his eyes.

"Not even 4 days and yet it is as tall as the rest of the trees around here ... wow that is odd" StarSwirl added last minute.

"W-w-what is that?" i asked trying to hold my emotions and tears back.

"What every magic is coming from that tree is countering one of the elements of harmony and that one is laughter ..." StarSwirl stopped to think for a bit.

"So, w-what d-does t-that mean?" i asked sobbing and curled up in a ball on the ground.

"Luna just by you standing near the tree you are filled with great depression so we need to get away from this tree as fast as possible." StarSwirl announced.

StarSwirl picked me up with his magic and started to run back so that we are a safe distance from the tree.

"Are you okay Luna you look like a mess?" StarSwirl asked with a concerned tone in his voice and trying to gain back his breath.

"Y-yes I am okay for now." I said to bring up his hopes "What was that just happened" I asked still laying on the grass.

"I have no clue however it had the opposite affects to the elements of harmony ... maybe until we both know what we have here let's call it the element of sorrow?" StarSwirl announced.

I nodded my head in agreement. The very next day we went to the same location that the strange black tree that looked like it survived a fire was gone.

"You see what I was telling you yesterday on the way here?"StarSwirl said in a panic.

"Yes" I said in reply to his question.

"Where is the tree?" We both said together.

"Okay, Luna, I'd like to ask you something." StarSwirl asked.

"Anything StarSwirl." I responded without know what he was going to ask me.

"I would like you every full moon I would like you to come to this very location to see if the tree comes again." StarSwirl requested.

"After feeling what ever that was yesterday I would gladly accept your offer." I stated to him.

"Good." StarSwirl responded

Around 10 cycles of the full moon have passed and no sight of that strange tree. On the 11th cycle of the full moon a bit after StarSwirl's dissaperence I checked the location and the tree of harmony that we know of today was there. The tree has not reappeared in years I'd stopped checking that very location as frequently as I use to.

"And that is why you see me sneak out every year Celestia."

"Can you please allow me a day at least you try to progress all what you have just told me?" Celestia asked Luna.

"With pleasure , take as long as you need sister." Luna said like she was getting something off her chest.

"Thanks Luna." Celestia responded

A couple of days have passed and Princess Celestia has just approached her sister Luna.

"Luna, I have been thinking about that story that you've told me days ago, at the moment I am having trouble believing such a story however I'm going have to believe you for now." Celestia explained.

"Okay, at least you've header my reasoning." Luna responded with a sound of relief

"However I do have just one question?" Celestia asked.

"Sure anything ask away." Luna replied

"Um, how do i put this ... If you have been doing this for 6,000 years so far how come you have never told me until today?" Celestia asked

"Well after that day with me going into deep desperation we both promised each other not to tell anyone until we think that the tree of sorrow wouldn't again." Luna replied answering Celestia's question.

"Okay." Celestia replied knowing a bit more information on the matter. When princess Celetia left the room princess Luna emotion and facial expression changed in an instant.

*Oh Celestia I'm sorry you only know half of the story. Please elements of Harmony don't find a pony as your host in the next 4,000 years coming because if the elements do those 6 ponies are going to know about through the pain and torment of their opposite sides and if the elements fail these tests rest in peace if you can get peace in the after life* Luna said in her head and head off to her room.

Chapter 2: The Grand Galloping Gala

4,000 years later

“Come on girls you should know this by now, you have to look your best” Rarity Announced in a rush.

“Come on Rarity can we have a break we’ve been doing this for 5 hours straight now and we still have to help Twilight out before tonight” Applejack reminded Rarity.

“Come on you know that you have to look your best of the grand galloping gala. Now stand still while I do this lovely dress on you”. Rarity said when she was putting her new model dress on Pinkie Pie

“Wee I can’t believe it that princess Celestia and Princess Luna are allowing us six to do to the galloping gala for the 6th year in a row”. Pinkie Pie brought up to Rarity and Applejack.

You are right Pinkie, Rarity do you find it a tiny bit odd that Celestia and Luna are allowing us six ponies to go to the gala these many times in a row”. Applejack agreed with Pinkie.

“Non-scene, yes we have been going to the gala every time so far, but you and I all both know if we miss out year we will ask every pony around if we can have their tickets instead and I don’t want to do that”. Rarity told Applejack and Pinkie Pie.

“You know what I will come this time and if a receive tickets next time I’, gonna refuse them and give the ticket to the next pony I pass because to be honest I’m getting a little over of going every time like come on Rarity you got to start needing a break so you can think up fresh designs.” Applejack Announced to the two ponies in front of her.

“Ow, watch what you are doing rarity you just drew a bit of blood when you were sowing that part together.” Pinkie Pie screeched in pain.

“Sorry my dear, I zoned out talking to you two but Applejack you are right with one thing.” Rarity Announced

“Wait, Rarity did you just say that I was right with one thing. What is it particular?” Applejack asked Rarity.

“Why are you asking me this question?” Rarity asked.

“Well I am just wording what it was that I was right on.” Applejack replied back.

“Okay then. If you really want to know the thing that you were right about was that I need a break so I can create new designs” Rarity said as tears start to run down her nose leaving black lines from her makeup.

“Cheer up Rarity there is no need for any tears if we receive thickets to the next gala we will ask Twilight to send them back. How does that sound Rarity as a plan for next time we get these tickets?” Applejack said to cheer up Rarity however it looked like it was not helping munch at all.

“Thanks Applejack come on girls les't go help Twilight and the others, just let me clean up myself before we leave is that alright to you two.” Rarity asked.

“That is okay, we are fine if you want to clean yourself up. It gives us time to clean up the little blood stain on the floor any way. Pinkie how is that worn going?” Applejack asking heading towards pinkie.

“I’m okay, it is not as bad as half of the time for example one day I was cleaning out the party cannon and it sort of went off when I was half inside so I went flying across town backwards and my back right hoof kind of got pearsed all the way through by a branch from a tree. So what I’m feeling at the moment is nothing comparing to that day.” Pinkie answered Applejack’s question.

“So that was you that day when I saw an earth pony flying backwards over my head.” Applejack gathering her thoughts from that day.

“Yep, that was jolly old me flying backwards, but the strangest thing is that I was left hanging there for a couple of hours and it was fun seeing the whole town upside-down.” Pinkie pie told AJ trying not laugh.

“Rarity are you ready yet?” Applejack asked loudly so that Rarity could hear.

“Give me a couple of seconds more and I will be right with you.” Rarity replied coming from the next room.

“I really hope that the others are getting more things done then we are at the moment.” Hoped and bring up to Pinkie Pie

“This place is really starting to come together girls” Twilight bring up to Fluttershy and Rainbow Dash.

“Hey not to bring down all of our progress but what in Celestia’s name where are Applejack, Rarity and Pinkie Pie Twilight. We are half way done and by the looks of things we barley done anything and then they have been gone for 5 hours now and they said that they would be back in a couple of minutes.” Rainbow dash told Twilight.

“Okay, look Rainbow Dash if you really want to you can go find them and ask them to get their hooves into gear.” Twilight bring up to rainbow Dash

“Umm Twilight … Rainbow Dash is right with one thing and that is they did say that they will be back in a couple of minutes and they have been gone for a long time and if we want to get this done by tonight we really need those extra hooves.” Fluttershy said to Twilight in a weaken voice.

‘Okay then, Fluttershy and I will continue doing what we are doing now and you Rainbow Dash will take flight to see if you can find the other three and please kindly ask them to get their hooves into gear and help us.” Twilight asked Rainbow Dash.

Rainbow Dash nodded in agreement and took off with great speed leaving the brightest rainbow that she has ever created when flying behind herself and lifting all of the dust particles that way on the ground leaving Twilight and Fluttershy gagging for air through the thick dust cloud. Once the dust cloud cleared and Twilight and Fluttershy stopped coughing Twilight asked Fluttershy “let’s lay down for a bit while we wait for Rainbow Dash and the others how does that sound?”

“That sounds like a good idea Twilight I don’t think that my legs could do o0ne more minute without having a bit of a break.” Fluttershy told Twilight.

As Rainbow Dash flies over ponyville she is starting to think thoughts in her head * Come girls where are you three wait am I saying things in my head? Cool Echo echo ha ha ha man it’s been a while since I’ve had time to have my own thoughts in my head it’s just feels so good to be thinking my thoughts in my head. So that where they are, they are still finding dresses for tonight.*

“Hey girls what is taking you so long you only said that you were going to be a minute 5 hours ago. Come on you all know that we have to do a major job now.” Rainbow Dash said to her friends.

“Sorry Rainbow Dash it’s just that Rarity got Pinkie occupied with her dress design we both knew we won’t be coming back any time soon.” Applejack explained without any second thoughts.

“Fine, however can you two please ask Rarity kindly to hurry up we still have a lot of work to do before tonight. First thing we have to design the place for the gala’s being held and second thing we have to get ready individual if you don’t mind.” Rainbow Dash told Applejack and Pinkie Pie with a slight bit of frustration in her voice.

“Shore thig Rainbow Dash.” Applejack told Rainbow Dash.

“Hey Rarity are you finished yet. We have a very impatient pony here waiting on you to come out.” Applejack called out.

“I’m coming Applejack just give me a couple of seconds more.” Rarity responded.

“Not to be rude or anything but you said give me a minute over 5 hours ago so can you please in Celestia’s name hurry the heak up.” Rainbow Dash said rudely.

“Rainbow dash there is no need to be so rude about it. I did say give me a second.” Rarity said with a bit aggression tone in her voice.

“Fine! At least please tell me that you are done.” Rainbow Dash asked.

“Yes I am ready let’s go. We should not keep Twilight and Fluttershy waiting any longer. I’ll meet you all outside I just need to lock up and shut up shop.” Rarity told the others around her.

Twilight, Fluttershy we are back.” Rarity said as she entered the room with the other ponies.

“What took you so long girls … never mind with that we still have a lot of preparations to do before tonight happens. You got to think let’s try not to disappoint presses Celestia and presses Luna.” Twilight announced to the other ponies in the room.

“Okay then, but Twilight is right we are a lot behind comparing to the past years that Celestia gave us this task.” Rainbow Dash added.

“Great now that we are all on the same page let’s finish this task and if there is still time then we can go ahead and do our thing in preparation for this accusation.” Twilight Announced.

Chapter 3 Part 1: Princess Luna's Dream

"Good evening Twilight, I see that you did an excellent job with all of the preparations of the Gala this year. What is your thoughts of how well you and your friends handled such the task?" Luna asked Twilight.

"I'm not gonna to lie to you princess but I still can't get over the fact we finished the main part of the preparations in about 30 minutes." Twilight Told Luna. "But other than that I think that we all did an excellent job this year."

"I'm glad that you are pleased with your efforts thank you for telling me what your thoughts are about what all of you ponies done. Twilight can you please do me a favour and tell Celestia if she is looking for me that I went out for a little walk." Luna asked Twilight.

"Sure thing princess. All I have to know is that where are you going?, and why have you given me such a task?" Twilight asked.

"Just say that I am doing a little errand to your first question and to your second one with you being her prized student she would believe you a little more than any other pony in here at the moment." Luna replied to twilight's question.

"Okay then, thanks for telling me princess. I hope you enjoy the rest of you evening where ever you are going." Twilight told Luna

"Thanks, you too, I'll see you later tonight if we bump into each other." Luna relied back.

"You are very welcome princess see you later on if we see each other by chance." Twilight replied back.

However Princess Luna did not end up going outside for her little errand as she told Twilight instead she went to her own quarters. On the way to her quarters Luna felt a strange feeling like she was being followed to her room but each and every time that she turned around to look there was no one there. As soon as Luna entered her room that feeling that she felt on the way to her room was a lot stronger than before. As Luna walked around trying to find what was making such a felling as soon as Luna stepped away from the door the door slammed shut with a loud bang enough to make you jump in fear. Luna jumped through the door bang that the door made. Luna turned around instantly to try to open the door back up.

"Dam it, it is locked from the outside but how there was no pony outside of my room when I came in .....n.....n......n.......n what is this headache t-t-that came out of n-n-nowhere." Luna said as she as she is starting to lose felling in her hooves.

After a while of Luna stumbling round and knocking things over making a huge noise which happened to grab the royal guards attention who happen to walk past Luna's room.

Knock-knock knock-knock, "Princess are you okay in there?" The guard asked about to enter the room for being concerned for the princess.

"I'm okay, I just tripped over something in the dark." Luna said as she laid on the side with cuts and broses all over her.

"Okay then, but would you like me to come in and check up with you?" the guard asked with his hoof on the door handle ready to turn and open the door with Luna's permission.

"No I'm fine. You should head off and enjoy the rest of your night." Luna said to stop the guard from entering her room and seeing her the way she is.

"Okay then, enjoy the rest of yours too princess." The guard said to Luna before he left and then continued on his way to his post.

As the princess laid in pain from all of the cuts on her which is by the way bleeding profusely so much that it will cause any pony no matter how strong they are they will pass out. Once Luna is passed out through the loos of blood all of a sudden the blood that leaked out of the princess started to flow back inside Luna and once all of the blood has flowed back into Luna all of the cut and damages done to the body all vanished.

"Dear young princess, today you are not going to die through loss of blood ha ha ha ha. WE still need you to give our message to your sister and the ponies that bare the power of the elements of harmony." A strange black misty shadow said as it was healing all of the cuts that was all over Luna.

As the shadow finished healing up the wounds and cleaned up the mess that Luna made. The shadow gave Luna a little kiss on her forehead as it started to fade out of extinct.

"I'll be seeing you in your dream princess Luna yours sincerely the element of sadness." said the shadow before he faded away.

As Luna woke up she found herself inside of a black void with a misty fog just high enough to covers any ponies knees all around her. As Luna looked around she was hearing a fate laughing coming from somewhere around her and getting louder. As the voices Luna could just make out 6 different voices.

“Who’s there?! Show your selves!” Luna shouted in demand.

Why should we show ourselves? You didn’t even say please, but who said that we could even do such a thing.” Said a female’s voice in the distance.

“Hello Luna, My name is Alexander and at the moment we are using our magic to talk to you but we cannot show ourselves because we are not stronger enough yet or do any physical harm to any other pony except for you Luna. But the reason why that we brought you here is to see if you ‘would like to do something for us’. We want you to deliver a message but we have a problem that if you say yes to our request how do we know that you won’t tell the ponies that we want the message to be sent to. So would you accept our request Luna?” A shadow calmed.

“And what if I refuse your request and not give it to the right ponies that you need to hear the message. Luna asked.

“If you remember that we can do physical harm to you then well … I’ll take control of your body right not and head to the main area where the most ponies are walking, then I’ll position you where every pony can see you right before I start to twist your body every possible direction snapping every bone to dust killing you at the same time and once you hit the ground with your lifeless body I’ll leave your body with a huge force which will cause your dead corps to explode onto every pony in that area and to make sure that every pony remembers your death and in great detail as well they’ll be scrapping you up off the floor, wall and the roof for the next week. And also forget about being brought back to life from the dead we leave a signer spell on any one we possess/ take control all of that is what will happen to you and for the rest of the ponies well … … … they are not going to know that we are coming. So are you still thinking of saying no after what I said.” Alexander explained Luna the position that she is in.

“Okay then, the way that you but it to me it (gulp) it seems like that I don’t even have a choice if I want to live through this … … … … … so I will gladly accept to give the ponies at mind your message but … … … Who-” Luna said before she got cut off.

“The ponies that we would like to give the message to is the ponies known as Twilight, Rainbow Dash, Pinkie pie, Fluttershy, Rarity and your sister Celestia. No more, no less and we can tell if there is any pony else is listening to your little meeting and if they do we will rip you into pieces in front of everypony including the little ears dropper.” Alexander told Luna to answer her question.

“Okay, just give me until the morning and I’ll give those ponies your message.” Luna told Alexander hoping for something to work.

“Ha-ha ha-ha. Well then I now see that we are at an agreement then, please note that we are only doing this so that every pony that needs to know of our coming … but we could just kill you know and then just start ‘testing’ the ‘elements of harmony’. Also another thing to let you know is that when an element ‘fails/ falls’ their little test they will be killed through their elements and as that pony takes their last breath that element will fade and disconnect form that pony and everything that was banished from using the elements will be brought back as a symbol of an element/ pony as failed to prove themselves. All they have to do is show how their element affect them with their day to day lives and be stronger than our influence that we create. However if somehow the all the ponies pass the test then we’ll have to go on to the group test.” Alexander told Luna.

“Okay then, can I please head to the real world now-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-.” Luna said as she got sent to the real world.

Chapter 3 Part 2: The Plan of Attack

"Thank you Charlie for getting rid of her and hiding the others and yourself, but felling someone from outside of the tree how strong do you think your opposite is?" Alexander asked.

"Well at the moment it is hard to say just by seeing the memories of another pony other then Twilight herself, but she is almost never along and if we somehow manage to get rid of that baby dragon that helps her out and catch her in in her home and stopping her from using any of her magic then it should be easy pickings ... but her magic is very strong to overcome." Charlie replied.

"So it is settled then we are going to kill Luna to scare spike enough so that Twilight will have to send him away out of Ponyville and once he steps outside of the border of Ponyville no pony will be able to get out and once all of the main 6 that we need are in town no pony will able to enter as well." Alexander said.

"So how are we going to kill that black mist of a pony just a snap to the neck or ... create a new coat of paint of that whole room." Rose asked Alexander.

Something that makes your part of the test so munch easier to handle." Alexander replied back

"Well that is going to be easy then i have to do is get Pinkypie when she is about to break get her crying then when she is collect a tear to say that i done my part and then no more Pinky." Rose announced with a smile on her face.

"Rose, please remember that it is easier said then done and also you have to know that Pinky does throw parties to brighten up her day, and don't mind me asking how in equestria does collecting a tear drop from that pony makes your part of the test done?" Alexander asked out of confusion.

"Well first thing is that if i manage to collect a tear drop than all of a sudden a felling goes over that pony and they'll bash their head on the nerist wall over and over again until they crack their own head wide open but they don't stop there she will continues until she kills herself through ether loss blood, snapping the neck, damage to the brain or all of them. So how do you feel about that Alexander." Rose explained.

"Well that, to me it seems like you have everything planed for a while." Alexander said in surprised.

"Yes I know Alexander but i do feel sorry for Liliana because if you remember the discord innocent their first encounter with him, he had to end up with using his magic to force turn Fluttershy into the character that we need to for the kindest pony she is going to be the hardest to make her fail the test." Rose brought up to the others.

"You don't need to worry about any pony else. All you have to do is make sure is that Pinkeypie fails the test and disconnect her from the element of laughter." Alexander told Rose.

"Says the pony that haves to deal with the apple-bucking pony herself Applejack. But every pony soon we will have our true form and take what is ours once and for all." Jackal said form a distance.

"Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait just and minute are you really telling the truth this time and that I'll be able to fly again as fast as i can and that I'm the best and the fastest Pegasus that lives there." Twister announced excitedly and hoping at the same time.

"Yes I am telling the truth this time Twister even though I am the complete opposite of Applejack but what do you thing about your little problems Twister and Jackal." Alexander asked.

"Well ... at this stage it is hard to make any quick judgments without seeing them in action myself but ... I being being the first of us to be created by the tree of harmony to say this is going to be no walk in a park but getting Rainbow Dash by herself is going to be hard but fun at the same time cause she is the element of loyalty. If somehow I get her focused on me long enough of my effects to take place then she will be no problem at all. However I do need at least 3 of her friends to fail their part of the test if you want Rainbow dash to fail within an hour." Twister told the others.

"Twister is right by saying that this is going to be no walk in the park but all of you have to realize that Twister, Liliana and I all have the hardest element to convert over so that they fail their test. When it comes to Raitary I think that I'll just try a lot of different thing to see which ones work and just build from there." Jackal told Alexander.

" *exhales* You better make sure that you are ready when we are stronger enough to leave that void we don't want to cause too attention to ourselves!" Alexander screamed in response to Jackal's answer.

"Charlie can you just send me to a random place fairway from here in this void I need some time to think by myself and get ready." Jackal asked.

"Okay but I'll bring you back when Luna tells the ponies that we need the message so you can watch her death and every pony reaction." Charlie agreed.

"But before you do just letting you know Twister that you know have your wings." Jackal said before he disappear out of every pony's site.

Wait really are my wings really visible but I can't feel them please some pony tell me what they look like and how large are they." Twister said trying to hold his joy back.

"Um Twister Jackal said that so we have another problem to deal with until the message is delivered." Alexander told Twister.

"I'd like to hear it from another pony and not you so I know that you are not lying to me like you have in the past and I know your face when you lie to me ... why are you all looking at me like that for ... ..." Twister asked.

Author's Note

Please take in that I will note be attaching the self harm tag to the story but I'll give a bit of a warning of Pinkies chapter in the story information that the very top

Clarification
when it comes to the Main 6 and their little deaths it is only in result in the element that possess rejecting the pony with such and force it causes a lot of damage

Chapter 4: The Truth Comes Out

Back out in the real world Princess Luna is just waking up for the void in her head but felt a light headed from the loss of blood and from her heart stopping every now and then. As Luna tried to stand up her legs felt like jelly and shock bad enough that she fell back to the ground with a grunt of pain as she hits the floor.

"I have to get up. I can't waste any time. I need to tell Celestia." Luna said as she struggles to breath and stand up.

"Don't rush yourself Luna you still have plenty of time before anything bad will start happening." A strange kind voice from somewhere.

"Okay, but way I ask you what is your name and why are you being so kind to me." Luna asked.

"At the moment I am no pony but I am a active spirit that helps some pony that is in major trouble or can't control their own future, but before I give you any more information about myself first I need to show you something first, and please don't don't even bother trying to get up you are still too weak to say standing or use your magic." The voice explained.

There was slinece for a while and then all of the sudden there was a fimular glow but Luna couldn't what was actually happening, and then all of a sudden everything around Luna even the floor went white and then a few moments later as the white starts to fade Luna resnised an object that was becoming clearer as colour becomes a thing around Luna once again.

Once everything was back to normal Luna asked "Why did you bring me here?, why did you bring to the tree of harmony?, and what was the thing you want to show me for you to teleport me to this very location."

"Do you see that black weed that is growing around the tree?" The voice said.

"Yes, but what is so bad about it. It is just a weed that is happening to grow all the tree that is here?" Luna asked.

"You know thoughts voices that you heard in that void, well that is them this black weed is actually extremely dangerous and the stronger that they get the harder it is to fight their influence over you. I reason why I'm telling you this is that they need you to start things off-." The voice told Luna.

"What do you mean by that they need my to start thing off?" Luna asked into the air.

"It is however too late to save your self from what influence they have on you through either having direct contract to that pony meaning by physically touching one, by speaking to them or they touch you cause you somehow tick all three boxes they can kill you with energy to spare ." The voice of the air told Luna.

"Are you kidding me you are one of them. How do I know that you are telling the truth. I know that you are lying because they voices that I heard told me that if I don't tell twilight and the others in time and if anyone else hears the message I would be killed on the spot." Luna said out loud into the air.

There was silence for about 10 to 15 minutes before any pony spoke a word. "*exhales with disappointment* Luna I don't care if you believe me or not but please at least take in consideration that I am trying to help you live through this and they do have the power to make some pony over hear that conversation and will cause you to be killed in the most horrific death known to any pony." The voice told Luna before she heard coming from nowhere.

"At least you could of brought me back to my room." Luna yelled out into to the air.

After a few more minutes later of struggling of trying to stand up Luna finally got up on all four hooves ...

A loud streak came from Luna's mouth. "Where are my wings and why can't I move?" Luna said herself.

As soon as Luna got her bearings to walk in a straight line without her legs turning into jelly Luna heard a snapping of a stick coming from somewhere in the forest.

"I have to get out of here as quick as possible, I think when I screamed I think I might have called for some bad attention." Luna said under her own breath.

All of a sudden there was a blood streaking raw coming from almost the trees in front of Luna, all of a sudden out of gut instant Luna turned around and started to run as fast as she can without knowing where she would end up.

"Alexander we have a little problem Luna is running away form our little present and she is almost at the edge of the forest." Twister told Alexander.

"Well then twister are you stronger enough to block her and turn her around at the same time we don't want her in ponyville before sunrise." Alexander told Twister.

"I'll try but I am having trouble keeping her wings out of sight and how come Rose and Charlie are not helping me do this I really some help I will lose my sorrow abilities before I can get to Rainbow Dash." Twister told Alexander as he is getting weaker and weaker.

"Rose, Charlie go help twister cause you too need to get stronger expectantly you Charlie remember you have to deal with Twilight." Alexander called out loud.

"What ever considering that you should of asked us to do this earlier you need us at our full strength and jet you asked for a non horned pony to keep Luna in the forest." Rose said as she walk over to Twisters Location to help him out.

"Where are all of these trees coming form I never knew that the trees and this place grew in such in a weird way that not even a ground of dust can go through the trunks." Luna said to her self.

All of a sudden Luna stopped running to catch her breath and take in where she is in the forest to see if anything seem familiar to her through her visits over the years but nothing was the same and the forest was dead silent not even the creature that was chasing her could not be heard.

"I-I can't take this any more it seems like something does not want leave the forest but I don't know why." Luna said out loud as she breaths heavily.

"You are right Luna something is blocking you and you are not going to able to leave until morning when the sun hits your hooves when they are on the ground." A familiar male voice announced which however sounded different to earlier.

"Who are you?" Luna shouted out in rage.

"Oh my Luna, did you forget who I am all ready well I am Alexander and we don't want you to ruin our fun when we full again ... so you should know what that should mean wink-wink. Ha ha ha ha." Alexander started to giggle.

"But wait just one minute you said that give the ponies your message before the days out you will not kill me. Luna said trying to get some hope.

"Oh wow, you really are as dumb as they say. Do you know which pony I am opposite to and have to worry about more than you?" Alexander asked Luna. "You know what I'm gonna tell you any way I am the opposite of Applejack which means that I am the best at lying and I know how to break promises that I make bye-bye for now."

Luna layed in the same place what it seems like for hours crying and trying to understand what she have herded. However the spell that somehow made her trapped in the forest did disappear when the sun's light tough Luna's hooves and Luna got up to her hooves and started to walk back to ponyville.

Author's Note

the pony that was talking to Luna will remain unnamed until the latter chapters only because this pony does play a major role with *telling the story*.

Chapter 5: The Message

Applejack was doing her morning chores around the farm then all all of a sudden she saw Luna walking trying to keep her balance and with cuts all over her.

"Luna, are you okay what happen to you?" Applejack said as she rushed to Luna to help her out.

"I ... I ... I need ... to ... get ... to my sister ... and ..." Luna could not finish what she was saying before she fell down on the ground with her weak legs.

"HELP can somepony please help me" Applejack yelled out hoping for somepony to hear.

Lucky Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy was flying by and hear Applejack yelling for somepony to help.

"Applejack, Luna what happened? What is wrong?" Rainbow Dash asked trying to fill in the blanks.

"It is Luna I found her like this for some odd reason she emerged from the ever-free forest like this and I have no idea what happened to last night and she wants to see her sister." Applejack explained to the two ponies.

"Okay Applejack I'll fly as quick as I can and ask Twilight to send celesta a message asking to come here as soon as possible." Rainbow Dash said out loud.

" Also ... Please collect Twilight, Rarity and Pinkie Pie as well." Luna said weakly.

"Okay, Rainbow dash can you please head to Twilight's house and see if you can get her to send that message to celesta and collect twilight at the same time and Fluttershy can you please fly as fast as you can and try to collect Rarity and Pinkie Pie." Applejack asked Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy.

"Um, one question Applejack how am I going to get Rarity out here we all know how hard it is to her out here without getting her hooves dirty." Fluttershy asked the other two ponies.

"Fluttershy all you have to say is that Luna is at the moment and she need her help with something and I am sure that she'll be here quicker than Rainbow Dash trying to do the sonic boom." Applejack told Fluttershy.

"Okay than let's head off now we don't need to keep the princess waiting to meet up with her sister." Rainbow Dash said to the other two loud enough so Luna could hear.

"Alexander! We have a problem Luna so going to tell the ponies out in the open where no pony can here." Rose told out loud.

"Where are they and how long do we have before Luna is late of telling the others our message?" Alexander asked Rose.

"Well at the moment by the looks of things Luna is about sweet Apple Aches and there is still a couple of hours before she is too late." Rose said in a response to Alexander's question.

"Do this for me wait until all of them are together and then light up Twilight's horn to make like she is doing it and then teleport all eight of them to Twilight's home and make sure that Spike is in the other room listening there conversation. If Twilight sends him out for a while make sure that he is just out of sight and looking over the conversation and ... well you should know what should happen next." Alexander gave orders to Rose.

"Agreed but are we meant to be repainting the main hall in the palace with a little pony that we are going to kill?" Rose said with a bit of convulsion in her voice.

"Don't worry we still are going to do as we planned but there is a bit of a detector she is going to tell the ponies in Twilight's house and then you and Charlie are going to teleport all of them including Spike and then because Spike saw them and heard them ... well Luna is going to get..." Alexander told and the girls. "Now all we have to do is get ready for the tree to release us from this abyss and wait until Luna tells the story."

"Twilight!, Twilight! I need you to send Celestia massage this is argent." Rainbow Dash said as she flew through the window hitting Twilight off her hooves and flying into a bookshelf head first.

"Okay, slow down then, I'll call Spike to get ready to send a letter to the princess." Twilight said to Rainbow Dash and then called out "Spike! Rainbow Dash need to send a letter to Celestia A.S.A.P. please."

"Sure thing Twilight just give me a couple of seconds for me to collect the things that I need." Spike told Twilight. "Okay Twilight and Rainbow Dash I am now ready."

Dear Princess Celestia

I am very sorry if I have interfered with what you are doing but we need you to please come over to sweet apple aches as soon as possible, because princess Luna is over there at the moment and in serous pain and she can barely stand up on all four hooves with me, Applejack and Fluttershy helping her up. We have no idea what to do to help her out and Luna can barely talk so as I am going to say again can you please come as soon as possible.

Thank for reading this Rainbow Dash.

"Rainbow Dash ... I am speckles ... so you are going to tell the princess that her sister is in pain and she can't speak at all." Twilight asked trying to get her mind around the fact that she just heard that type of news.

"Yes I am going to tell the princess that type of news and ... Luna did ask me and Fluttershy to also collect you Twilight, Rarity and Pinkie Pie for some odd reason too and you was as well bring spike along in case we get a letter back from Celestia." Rainbow Dash explained.

"Okay, Spike comes along let's go and see how munch trouble the princess really is." Twilight told Spike.

"Um, Pinkie Pie this is a little urgent princess Luna needs you to meet her over at AJ's farm as soon as possible please." Fluttershy asked Pinkie Pie with a bit of fear in her voice.

"Fluttershy you know that there is no need to be afraid when you are around me and just tell princess Luna that I just need to these last two batches of cupcakes and I will be right around and before you leave would you mind tasting a cupcake for me. To me they taste a little funny almost like sadness." Pinkie Pie offered Fluttershy a cupcake to taste to see her opinion of them.

"I would gladly your offer but what am I looking for within the taste?" Fluttershy asked as she took the cupcake out of pinkies hooves.

"Well what does it taste to you like for example that these cupcakes was made with sadness or they where made with happiness and full of joy." Pinkie Pie explained to Fluttershy what she was looking for within the taste.

"Well then here we go then." Fluttershy said as she bit into the cake and as she slowly munch on the cake Fluttershy's face turned from from the tiniest bit of joy within she to a sadness so powerful she almost fell into tears crying. "What did you put into those cupcakes they taste like sadness and not full of joy." Fluttershy told Pinkie.

"I don't know what has been going on all I know is that I've been doing my usual things and for some strange reason is that they have been having this taste all morning." Pinkie Pie explained to Fluttershy.

"Well if you don't mind me but I am going to fly off and go ask Rarity if she is fine to go to applejack's farm to meet up with Luna. see you soon Pinkie Pie." Fluttershy said before she walked out and took off.

"This is going to be great news for Alexander to hear if I tell him we might be able to save some of our powers before we leave this place, but it seems like that he won't believe me of such a story. But how am i going toll the others? Come on think you have to think up of something ... wait just a minute I know what to do. Hey Jackal come over here I need to tell you something and show show you something!" Liliana called out into the abyss.

"You called me over what is it?" Jackal asked as soon as he appeared in sight.

"Have I look here and tell me what do you what do you see." Liliana

"Well ... at the moment ... all I see is Fluttershy talking to Rarity for some odd reason." Jackal through out loud.

"Have a listen to their conversation and tell me what are they doing." Liliana asked.

"Okay I will but don't think that I am going to pay attention to them." Jackal explained.

"All is good but watch and have a listen." Liliana instructed for Jackal to follow.

"Come on Rarity you know that it is that bad and Luna wants to see you over there." Fluttershy said.

"Here is a question for you Fluttershy how come that Luna did not come over here in the first place and can you please tell Luna that I will be coming around I just have to finish some things off first if you don't mind." Rarity told Fluttershy.

"Well I am sorry to say but Luna can't really walk on her own and so that no other pony can hear us talk for some strange reason." Fluttershy told Rarity.

"Okay then, just let me lock up and I will come with you Applejack's farm if you don't mind Fluttershy." Rarity replied. back.

"Now Jackal tell me what that little conversation?" Liliana asked.

"Well I don't know what to say but I am lost for words what did you want me to see cause at the moment I can't see anything." Jackal asked.

"Well what I see is a little far fetched still possible. What I see through these ponies the others don't like is that you will be able to be seen by other ponies and all of us will be able to leave this cursed tree for ever and we are able to regain our cutie marks again and the other ponies will able have there elements and live through this if and only and if they pass the tree of harmony test which is our group test. I don't know if you remember when we fail the group test you lost you actual body and we all lost our own cutie marks through the elements that we had disconnected us." Liliana explained what she saw through that little conversation.

"Wow I have no idea you where thinking that way but if they fail it they fade out of existence forever and they will remain there slowly losing them selves and who they are as time goes on. Well let's hope that Luna holds on if she gets killed by Alexander and who ever follows him. But ant the one thing that we are doing this is that if we make friends with the other 6 ponies is that we all should get our cutie marks back." Jackal asked.

"I'm so sorry but it does not work that way. We are ... going ... to ... have ... to ... rediscover our own special talents all over again and let's hope that at the end of all of this that they are willing to forgive us for what we did and understand reasoning." Liliana explained to jackal. "We better join back up with the group before Luna tells the ponies that we need their attention.

"Come on let's go." Jackal said. "But I really miss my two tooth Halloween styled pumpkin. Did you know that making Halloween pumpkins was my special talent what was yours."

"No, so you were the pony that made those lovely jack-o-lanterns every year but to your second question I ... I ... I don't remember what was my special Talent be lucky you are the only one that as far as I know that actually remembers your special talent." Liliana answered Jackal's question.

"Princess Luna we are here what did you want to tells us that could not wait." Twilight asked before she stopped running.

"Did ... did ... did any of you bring some else along that I did not ask to come." Luna asked quietly.

"What no. No pony brought brought any pony over why did you want us to bring a friend." Twilight said.

"But question Twilight how come Spike is not with you I did say that you could bring him along." Rainbow Dash said.

"I am glad that you did not bring him Twilight." Luna said cutting of Twilight before she can speak.

"But why did you summon of us here today at this fine hour. Celestia asked Luna.

"Well I don't know is you remember a few years ago me and you had a bit of a talk about me walking out in the middle of the night to check up with the tree of harmony. Luna said to Celesta.

"Yes I do remember such a thing about 100 years ago." Celestia replied.

"Well nothing is new by way but once I came back from my check up with the tree and gone to rest my head I was sent back to the tree and a black weed looking thing was starting to grow around it and you are not going to believe me with this next part it is so left field." Luna started to explain.

"Just continue telling us what is on your mind we will just have to take your word for this." Celestia explained."

"Well that black weed contains 6 pony souls that had the elements of harmony before all of you ponies around me ..."

"Wait there is a minute are you really telling me that so many centuries ago that there was 6 friends just like us and what happened to them?" Rainbow Dash interrupted Luna before she could finish talking.

"If you let me explain before you cut me off next time then you would know all the answers to your many questions if you don't mind ..." Before Luna could continue speaking she heard some sort of bells ringing and then started to laughing.

"Ha ha ha, it is too late now Luna you have failed to keep with you promise to us and now you are going to die and oh by the way Luna have a look behind that pile of trees right behind you ..." A familiar voice told Luna.

Then suddenly Luna had the strength to stand up and she walked to the pile of trees that the voice told her and as she got closer she is started to hear breathing.

"Twilight I thought you did not bring someone." Luna said in disappointment.

"I-I-I thought that he stayed home. Spike how come you were hiding behind those trees." Twilight said in disappointment.

"I have no idea how i came here I went to sleep in my little bed after you left and then I woke up here behind these trees and then a few seconds later I say Luna's head looking through the trees and then you asked me why i was hiding behind these trees." Spike replied back.

All of a sudden every pony were teleport into the middle of town and before any one could get a breath in from the sudden jolt from being teleport so hard and quickly Luna started to levitate through an unknown force once Luna was about five feet off the ground dangling helplessly. All of a sudden silence filled the air for a few seconds as every pony stared at Luna as she floated in the air then suddenly Luna's slowly started to twist around and then all of a sudden Luna's body started to twist and jolt in a violent way snapping every bone in every possible way turning every bone in her body into dust leaving Luna dead corps in the air limbless, then Luna's body just exploded just leaving a cloud of blood and covering every pony in it that was around Luna at the time. As the cloud of blood cleared all that every pony could see is celesta crying on the very stop that Luna was floating in the air.

Prologue

Not many ponies know the affects of the yin and yang of the tree of harmony, when the other side of the tree grows next to the main tree. This tree only grows every 10,000 years to test the true strength of the elements of harmony individually and as a whole. The tree does these tests by creating equal but opposite strength to the element of choice. The only pony that knows all of this is princess Luna.
