When The Stars Align (Original, Rewrite, and Bonus Chapters)

*In Equestria*
Celestia walked outside of Twilight's hospital room and collapsed. Her flawless happy facade cracked as she fell to her knees "I'm so weak and useless" She sobbed as she felt the guilt of being absent swallowing her in despair.

Luna watches from afar as her sister cried. Her hooves clopped on the ground as she walked over to the mare. She wrapped her in her embrace nuzzling her muzzle into her mane. "You are stronger than you know dear sister" she murmurs into her ear making her jump slightly. "I don't know Luna. My emotions have been all over the place lately. I don't feel the same as i used to. I used to be so motherly and regal, now i feel impulsive like a teenager during puberty" She explains.

Luna nods "I can't say that I've noticed a change in my behavior as of late but I will help you through anything sister, if that is what you need from us." Luna chirps with a small smile.

Celestia closed her eyes as Luna preens her feathers. "Besides, Don't you remember the last time you were in puberty..." Luna mumbles cringing at the thought of Celestia in an all black body suit. "LUNA! We agreed not to bring that up" She giggles. Luna sticks her tongue out cheekily and runs. Celestia chuckles and spreads her wings flying after her.

Astin wanders around the castle curiously. He stumbles upon "Beautiful..." He says to himself as he sees the royal throne room. The elegant gold and red chair. He flops on the chair. He giggles "I'm Astin. King of the stars" He says playfully lifting up an invisible sword.

Shining Armor and 4 other guards run into the room "Explain yourself creature" Shining Armor yells charge the magic in his horn. Astin yelps "Hey! Woah chill, I'm Astin I came with the-" He is interrupted by a magic blast narrowly missing his head.

Astin looks wide eyed at the white stallion. Discord slid into the room "Okay ladies calm yourselves. We're all Kings let's get along." He says with his paw and talon raised in surrender. Astin raises his eyebrow but didn't question it. Shining huffed and rolled his eyes "This creature is a king. I find that hard to believe" He says with a dismissive tone. Astin growled under his breath.

"What's your problem. Jeez who shoved a stick up your ass" Astin yelled at Shining who mocked him to the other guards. Astin turned a bright red in the face from the disrespect and stomped off the throne onto the ground creating large cracks in the polished floor. His fist shook at his sides as he started his long stride over to Shining Armor who shared his heated glare.

Discord froze the human's feet to the ground "Now Now let's not do anything hasty" He says slithering around the human's waist. Astin looks at him before taking deep shaky breathes to calm the new found adrenaline in his system.

Celestia and Luna ran past Shining Armor into the throne room. "What happened we felt the whole castle shake-" Luna freezes as she sees her angered mate. Celestia walked to his side "Seems that you get some of our earth pony strength when you become angry" She says rubbing her muzzle against his cheek gently.

Luna smiles as she watches the adorable moment. Shining Armor walked up to Luna "Have you seen Cadance" He asks her. Luna nods solemnly "We need more information about our enemy" she whispers back.

*In the Unknown*

There was a being of Chaos similar to Discord himself. She sat on her throne with a bored look. "Oh Dissy I hope you haven't forgotten" She says levitating the picture of Discord with her black tinted magic. Her mane was black and a pastel pink. Her pastel blue eyes held so much evil. "Oh brother dissy, I love you so much i could die." She squealed.

Her flurry dragon tail slithered around torso. Her feather like fur on the tip "I'm bored, I need chaos" She giggled.
She suddenly got serious. Her mind running rapid as her usual bluish purple eyes became red swirls. Pink quickly became a blood red. "Chaos Sweet Chaos" She chirped in a singsong voice as she changed into a Canterlot guard with her magic. "I'm commmmming for you, Starswirl" She yells teleporting out of her dimension.

*In The Dark Dimension*

Cadance finally woke up after a long rest. It felt like no time had passed as she stood up. The old enemies laughed evilly as they blast her with magic. The Red, Blue and Green magic merged into a black blast of dark magic. "I won't be defeated so easily" She yelled charging her own magic blast. She blasted the fakes with all of her energy.

They all laughed unscathed by her attack. "Are you just here to laugh in my face. To rub your victory in my face" She said through gritted teeth. She grunted as she charged head first to the fakes. They dodged blasting her. "I won't be fooled. You are not real" She says rearing on her hind legs like a beautiful wild horse.

She saw her Shining. Her Flurry. The Crystal Empire. She let out a loud scream as her eyes glowed white. She charged at them as her heart pounded with the hearts of the Crystal Empire. Everyone counted on her. She flew up as she finally escaped her illusion.

*In Canterlot*

Luna slept in her soft plush familiar bed. Her soft breathes fills the air as a dark energy slips into the room. "Astin..." She mumbles softly turning.

Ice blue eyes shone in the darkness as a guard sneaks into the room. He creeps over to the bed and grabs the mare. Luna screams were muffled by the guard's hoof. Her magic nullified by the dark magic. Her tears fell as she was teleported away from Canterlot.
