By the time Twilight's friends came galloping in to help, Luna and the visitor were helping Celestia up. The visitor looked slightly embarrassed, but mostly dignified, as if he was proud of what he did.

Whatever that was...

"Twilight!" Flash cried, fling up to his crush. "Don't worry, I'll get you and Starlight down!" As he and Spike worked on the chains, the other ponies looked at the visitor with a mix of wonder and horror. They've never seen somepony like him, but clearly he was powerful.

"So, uh... W-Welcome to Ponyville?" Rarity said, then chuckled nervously.

Behind her, Fluttershy gave a cry of fear and began to shiver.

Pinkie Pie wrapped her hoof around his neck, despite his protesting growl. "You've got to come to Sugarcube Corner! I'm totally going to throw you a - HEY!"

"Sorry 'bout that, partner," Applejack apologized, pulling Pinkie Pie back. "Ah'm Applejack. This is Rarity, Pinkie Pie, Fluttershy, and Flash Sentry. Of course, ya already met Spike, Rainbow Dash, Twilight, Starlight, and - um... er..." She faltered as he began to glare at her.

"...Right," the stallion said, then looked at Princess Luna. "When did you come back? Last I remember, you were banished to the moon... Not to mention you were still...'changed'."

"I've been out for a few years now," The Lunar Princess responded. "But last I remember, you were in the Dragon Lands with Psykari... What happened?"

"Um... excuse me?" Fluttershy asked nervously. "But, if you don't mind me asking... Who are you?"

The creature looked at her, and, to the Mane 6's surprise, his expression softened. "Might as well answer," he replied in a smooth, calm voice.

"My name is Moonshadow Meteor, Prince of Darkness, and Son of Psykari... and Princess Luna."

"WHAT?!?!"

"Whoa, whoa, whoa," Rainbow Dash said, leaning against the door frame. "You're mom... Is Princess Luna?"

"Yes."

"The Lunar Princess?"

"Yes."

"The one before us right now."

"...Yes."

"And you said your dad was Psykari..." Starlight said, looking at Moonshadow curiously. "Who's that?"

Moonshadow looked at Spike, causing him to back up. "I'm sure you know who he is."

"M-Me?!" Spike stuttered.

"Yes. Being a dragon, you've had to at least heard about my father."

"Psykari, Psykari..." Spike thought, then suddenly gasped. "You mean... The Psydra?!"

"Right on target... Spike, was it?" Turning towards the shocked ponies, he continued. "Before you ask, I'll explain it to you. There is only one Psydra born every ten thousand years, right when the one prior is about to pass. My father, Psykari, is the current one alive."

"But what exactly is a Psydra?" Twilight asked. "How come I've never heard about them before?"

"Typically, they keep to themselves. The Psydra species is, quite simply, a white dragon with incredibly powerful psychic powers. It possesses the magical abilities of an alicorn, only five times as powerful. It can also see the past, present , and future. However, the Psydra, knowing its abilities, stays in the Dragon Lands as the Dragon Lord's Adviser. Pretty cool job, but highly annoying when other ponies show up and ask for his advise."

"So that leads me to ask a question..." Flash said, looking at him.

"How did you're parents meet?"

As Moonshadow opened his mouth in response, Celestia let out a pained groan. He looked at her without pity, but soon sighed. 'We'll have to save that for later. For now, my aunt needs help." He paused, glaring at her with rage in her eyes. "No matter how much she deserved it."

The ponies backed up hesitantly as they saw his eyes give a quick flash of a hideous red color, quickly replacing his aqua-green irises before changing back to normal. He sighed, looking at them cautiously. "I... I'm fine."

"Uh... d-deserved it?" Applejack said, looking confused.

"Another story for another time. Come, we must take Celestia back to Canterlot," Luna stated, looking at her son, eyes filled with worry. What happened right there?

As they all galloped away, the medic team began gaining consciousness.

"Hello?" Doctor Horse called, rubbing his forehead. "Hello?" He sighed. "Great. Just great..."

...

Moonshadow flew alongside the chariot, rubbing his forehead as a throbbing forehead started to form. He had started to black out for a second as he glared at his aunt, but came to before he did, and saw that everypony was staring at him with complete fright.

What... What's happening to me?
