"Are they dead?" Shining said.

"I um, I don't know. The smoke hasn't changed colors yet."

"What did she say the color would be if they made it?" Cadance walked up beside Luna.

"Celestia said it would turn from green to gold and green."

"Are they still living???!!!" Shining couldn't take it anymore, he was literally banging his head on the ground.

"Shining shut it! Your going to startle Moonlight." Cadance tried calming him down. Luna didn't move on the other hoof. Her eyes were still glued on the small glass vile, its green smoke was streaming from side to side like on the campfire at camp. About thirty more seconds past by before the dark green smoke was challenged for space by a new invader, a metallic shiny gold.

"They made it!" Everypony in the room sighed in relief, even the guards standing by the door! One would say even Moonlight was relieved in her own baby ways.

"Thank Celestia! Literally!" Shining practically fell to the ground in relief, Cadance tried to help him up by kissing his forehead.

"You know Shiny, for being captain of the royal guard you do have one soft heart." Cadance giggled for a second.

“So I guess we just wait until they return.” Luna turned towards her baby. Moonlight was starting to drift asleep.

“So, if they went in there to save the thousands of lost souls, wouldn’t they be returning with like thousands of bat ponies?” Can we even support them? I mean, they haven’t been in Canterlot for at least 500 years, and that’s not including the ponies who were destroyed at the Crystal Empire.” Cadance said, she was thinking ahead.

“Well, actually, I didn’t really think about that until now.” Luna thought for a moment. They would need to prepare for the thousands of ponies to come out, if Celestia and the others succeed, who knows what lays within the magical walls of the soul stone.

“We will have to think of something. Until then, we do have a entire nation to run.”

“And you have a baby to take are of Luna.” All three of them soon turned their attention towards Moonlight, who was now asleep in her carriage behind Luna. Luna, Cadance, and Shining all got closer until they were a foot away from Moonlight. “She really is a beautiful filly Luna. Who knew the infamous and powerful king Sombra could produce such an beautiful foal.” Cadance nudged Luna, Luna was still looking at Moonlight, stroking her mane.

“I just wish he was here.” Luna tilted her head down, in thought. Most mares who give birth are overwhelmed, not just with the nights with no sleep, and the mushy pees everywhere, but the comfortable warmth and joy of a new born pony. But with Luna it was different, the complete opposite almost. Moonlight has been way easier to take care of than Luna had thought. She slept through the nights like a rock, she eats with no fuss, and she hardly had any bad diaper accidents, although they still happened from time to time.

Luna was not overwhelmed at all, Moonlight was easy to take care of for a newborn foal, but without Sombra. It was almost like part of Moonlight was never born, and a part of Moonlight’s joy as well.

“You know, Sombra is actually a very Kind hearted pony. He as extraordinary gifts and a warm heart. But his twisted and painful life drove him down a dark path. I swore to him and to Moonlight, that I would do anything I could to get him back on track, and I did. Because of him I am alive, Moonlight is not some puppet student of Chrysalis’, and thousands of lives are saved. So I felt like I have down my part.” Luna backed away from Moonlight a little bit.

“So Luna, how did you and Sombra even get together? It’s not like a princess and a Dark evil king could suddenly fall in love, and have a baby in one night. Although I’m sure some couples of tried.” You can’t blame Shining Armor’s curiosity, Luna had not disclosed that story yet.

“Well my dear Shining Armor, It’s a long story, but a story I’m willing to tell you. Once I get Moonlight to bed of course.

"Ooooooohhhhhhh, my head." Twilight rubbed her soar aching skull.

"Well, that could've been worse." Flash offered her a hoof up. "On your hoofs Twi."

"Flash, I fell dizzy." Twilight struggled to stand up straight, which concerned Flash.

"It looks like you got hit pretty hard, lets get settled and see how bad it is." Nightcore appeared behind Flash.

"Where is Celestia? How could we loose a pony that tall."

"And uhh, L-lilly." They realized they were missing two important ponies, Celestia and Lilly were nowhere to be found.

"Where are we? What is this place?." Nightcore looked around. "Is, is this the soul world?"

"I-I don't k-know if this is m-my head but speaking f-for me but, its beautiful." Twilight looked around. All three of them stood on a small field surrounded by what looked like a forest, except it was different. The tree leaves all illuminated a beautiful light purple and bright yellow color. The small ponds that were placed here and there within the trees were filled with what looked like crystal clear water. It was so clear you could see the tiny grains of dirt on the rocks on the bottom of the ponds. The sky was a beautiful sunset orange color. The grass was a vibrant dark blue, and the tree trucks were not brown like in the real world, but instead a dark orange color, but all three of them realized something was missing, there was not one wild creature to be found. It was quiet, almost like the dungeons underneath Canterlot.

"This doesn't look so bad to me."

"Celestia described it as hell, but this? This is not so bad."

"Uh, boys. Still don't feel so great." Twilight still sat on the ground behind them, still holding her head in agony.

"Oh ya, forgot. Nightcore, try to find the first aid kit for Twilight."

"Its, um. Its in my bag." Twilight pulled out a red bag with a big white cross on its front, with zippers on its side and on top.

"We need to take a look around for ponies. Celestia said there could be thousands in here." Nightcore looked out into the forest, it laid just about fifty feet from where he stood.

"How much food do we have?" Flash asked while treating Twilights head.

"About three weeks worth. Thank Celestia for these unlimited storage bags, literally." Nightcore shuffled through the various supplies in a moderately sized saddle bag. The magic making the bag hold an unlimited amount of anything.

"Well Twily, it looks like you have a servere concussion, just by judging by your symptoms."

"H-how do we treat it?"

"Well, the only thing we can do is just wait it out. I can give you some pain medication, unless you know a spell that could treat this." Flash sipped the medical kit back up, accidentally spilling out some bandaids in the process.

"W-well, let me try. I might know something." Twilights horn illuminated a bright purple color, she tried her best, but it was too painful.

"Don’t hurt yourself honey, you just need to wait it out."

"I-I always did really like you calling me that." They both smiled and blushed, before the embraced each other in a warm tight hug, leaving Nightcore alone.

"Uh-um, please save it for the honeymoon, what should we do." Twilight and Flash broke the hug.

"Well, I think Twilights in too much pain to walk right now, and the best way the save our resources is by staying here."

"I-if we m-made it, Celestia and L-Lilly should be here to."

"Well, Celestia and Lilly don't have any food, so they would need to hurry and find us." NIghtcore looked around again.

"We could have a look around, but stay in this area."

"C-Celestia said the S-soul world is n-not very b-big." Twilight Struggled to talk, she could barely she straight.

--------------------------------------------------------------------❇❇❇❇❇-------------------------------------------------------------------

"Princess? Princess Celestia? Are you ok?" Lilly nudged Celestia a little, trying to get her to wake up.

"Oh Lilly Tulip, Celestia is just fine, and yes i'm ok. Just a little um, knocked out." Celestia stood up, she wasn't hurt.

"Twilight, Flash, and Nightcore aren't here." Lilly looked behind her.

"I was affraid of this, but told myself it wouldn't happen."

"What? What happened Celestia? Where are they?"

"Well, when I teleported us through the spell must have we-bounded and split our group in half. Sending one half one place and the other another place. The only thing we can do now is try to find the others."

"We have no food. Nightcore had it all when he came in."

"Then we will need to hurry while we still have strength." Celestia turned. They both were standing in the middle of the forest. Same trees, same colors, but no field like the others were in. "If what I feared came to truth, then the others should be together, I just hope they aren't hurt. That wasn't what I call a smooth landing."

"You know, being an earth pony and all, I think you did a pretty good." This got Celestia to smile a little. "You know Celestia, you described this place as hell. I think this is the most beautiful place I have ever seen." Lilly looked around.

"Don't let that trick you Lilly. It may look beautiful, but just give it time, this places inner demon will show itself eventually.”

"Indeed it will." A dark figure appeared behind them, it was a bat pony. He was covered in scars. His left eye was scared. There was a scar on his forehead, his hoof, both of his front legs, and three on his chest. Although he had many scars he was surprisingly clean. No dirt was noticeable on his black fur coat. He was big to, very very very strong and muscular.

"Princess Celestia." His voice was dark and scary. "Its only been five hundred years." He scowled at her and Lilly, they both got nervous.

--------------------------------------------------------------------❇❇❇❇❇-------------------------------------------------------------------

"Hey honey, I heard you would be late. The attacks are all over the news, please be careful. Also try to be back home by tomorrow, Dusk and Lavender are getting anxious, they want to see their father again. You should see their little sad faces. Please be careful, be safe. Make it home ok, I love you."

To: Lenon Sky
From: Cloud Flower
Date: January 5, 1993

Lenon folded the letter back up again and placed it back in its original envelop and set it on the table. It was dark in the room, which was how he preferred it. He liked his place completely black, because he thinks the dark hides his scares, but nothing could hide his emotional scare from the past. What happened, was what had happened, and the worse part was he couldn't change that if his life depended on it.

"How is he?" A whispering voice from outside the cracked door soared through the dark and quiet room. Lenon could hear it, but he didn't care, or did he? Outside the door stood two High Tower stallion Bat ponies. They were both tall and muscular ponies with red bat wing markings on their foreheads.

"He's still reading that old letter." The second guard responded, he could see through the crack of the door.

"That one from his dead wife?"

"Hey! Keep it down! He's touchy about that stuff, and if he catches us, well who knows how much trouble we could be in."

"Actually not that much." Lenon opened the door, they both instantly stood at attention.

"Uh, we are very sorry sir, we wont bring it up again any more, we promise." Only one on the two had the courage to speak.

"Don't worry you should know." Lenon pulled out the letter, showing it to them. "January 5th, 1993 was the day my wife sent me this letter, just two days later she was murdered by Celestia's wonderful royal guards." Lenon rolled his eyes in sarcasm while saying that part. "But you know there is one good thing that happen to me that night I saw their bodies in my old house that I built!" He got closer to the two members, they both backed away in fear, they could see his pain in his heart, but more importantly. His anger within his eyes has he got closer and closer.

"What is that s-sir?" One of them said while struggling to even stand up straight.

"Celestia will pay for that moment, as Royal Shield did, and any creature else in this filthy place who reminds me about that night! Will also pay!" He got closer, both members backed up until they were stopped and trapped by the back wall. "You two reminded me, so I guess its only fair if you PAY TO!!!" Lenon then pulled out two ten inch knives and stabbed both of the gang members right in the chest. They both gaged in pain as blood rushed down from the chest down their front legs and onto the ground. Then they both fell to the ground as well, dead.
