Previous Chapter

The time was 11:50, Sunset had taken a little time to adjust to her new wings and soar along just to allow the experience to last a little longer before she made touchdown in Ponyville. Once she finally came within view of the castle she flew her way up to Princess Twilight's room and knocked on the balcony door. Moments later the Princess of Friendship emerged yawning and rubbing her tired eyes. Her mane was a bit messy and Sunset had to stifle her laughter as she looked upon the sleepy princess.

"Celestia? What're you doing here?" Twilight said in her groggy state mistaking Sunset Shimmer for Celestia considering Sunset's brand new 'gift'. She may have also been a little tipsy; guess being an Alicorn didn't help her alcohol tolerance.

"Hehehe afraid not Twi; it's Sunset! Notice anything new?" Sunset said stepping a bit closer so the tired purple princess could better see her and she shamelessly showed off her brand new wings to her princess friend. She fluttered them and now getting a better look at them could see they were more like the wings of a phoenix since the edges of her feathers seemed sharper and longer than the feathers the other alicorns seemed to have but that only mean Sunset was special and she liked that feeling.

"Sunset? Oh my gosh!" Twilight shook her head and her eyes readjusted as she looked at Sunset in pure shock and awe. "But...what...how?!"

"Philimena decided she wanted to bond with me after my reconciliation with Celestia. I'm not a princess or anything officially but Celestia said Phoenix magic is powerful and that I can use it to help defend the human world from threats magical or otherwise." Sunset smiled and fluttered her wings again allowing their heat to blanket her friend. "I've already given them a test flight, I'm a natural!" Sunset boasted knowing that would fluster Twilight because she was not a natural flyer and she had gotten stories from pony Rainbow Dash about how she taught Twilight how to fly.

"Hmph so I crashed into a tree a few times; Rainbow and Derpy crashes into stuff all the time!" Twilight defended pouting and puffing her cheeks out much like how Sci-Twi did and seeing that made her miss her girlfriend all the more.

"Hehe well if it makes you feel any better so does the Rainbow of the human world and Derpy more so even without wings or super speed." Sunset snickered patting her friend on the back with her wings as she trotted past her to go inside and she perked her ears up. "Everypony still here or am I too late to say goodnight and happy new year early?"

"Rainbow and the others stayed the night here but I'm not sure if they are up or not still. Cadence and Shining already put Flurry to bed and Tempest is already patrolling the inside of the castle as per her usual routine. Though I have the sneaking feeling you want to get back home so you can stop looking at me and start kissing my look alike." Princess Twilight teased trotting next to Sunset and flank bumping her.

Sunset giggled and shot the princess a playful and teasing grin. "You know I wouldn't mind a threesome right? That is one Twiangle I would LOVE to be caught in y'know" Sunset playfully swished her tail along the princess of friendship's cheek smiling the whole way through.

Princess Twilight blushed and was unable to come up with a retort and she covered her flushed face with her purple wings and she muttered. "You're so mean"

Sunset returned the flank bump from earlier and said. "Well I WAS voted biggest meanie in High School you know." Sunset said playfully with a laugh. Before leaving she would give Twilight a hug and friendly kiss on the cheek after making the alicorn remove her feathers from her cheeks. "I'll come back in a few days to say hello and we can all talk magic and have a good time. Sound cool?"

"Yeah...cool" Princess Twilight nodded blushing like a lovesick school foal.

"Sweet! Till next time Princess!" Sunset said using her magic to teleport out of the princess' bed chambers and into the magic portal room.

When she entered the room her face lit up with a smile as she saw a couple gifts sitting there for her one from a different person she'd met during her time here in Equestria for only a short day. She was so grateful to everyone who had welcomed her home and made sure she would return to her other home with plenty of fragments of her original home because in truth? She was beginning to get really homesick.

It was then a mischievous voice spoke from the ether.

"Y'know I can see why Celly was always so fond of you kiddo; you are just one of a kind" Discord said now perched on magic portals base with a cocky yet impressed smirk on his face as he looked down at Sunset. The device had been modified as of late to look less steampunk and more streamlined and also magically protected to avoid damage.

Turning to see the master of chaos she chuckled a bit. "Well there is a lot about me to like; I just ended up letting my ego and Celestia's praise go to my head." Sunset said looking up at Discord with a smile. "Thanks for giving me that advice about Celestia. It was helpful."

Discord waved a dismissive hand and chuckled himself. "Oh think nothing of it child; your reunion was quite the tearjerker. Though I'll admit her's and Luna's? Ohoho BOY was that fun 3 part epic! I have it on DVD if you wanna watch!" Discord said opening the left side of his chest like his fur was a jacket and he was racks of dvds lined up on the inside. "I even have secret tapes from their more...adventurous youthful days" He whispered deviously.

Sunset was unsure how to respond to any of that and she wasn't going to go with her shoulder devil who was constantly screaming 'DO IT!' in her ear. "Yeah thanks but no thanks."

"Suit yourself more fun fuel for me. Anywhozzle! I've actually come to give you a couple of parting gifts. The first of which is this handy dandy saddle bag. Now it may look like an ordinary saddle bag however can an ordinary saddle bag doooooo THIS?!" Discord flung himself into the bag and the bag dropped to the ground with a thud.

Sunset quirked a brow in confusion and used her magic to pick up the bag and she opened it and it freed Discord and he startled Sunset which got a laugh out of the master of chaos. "Haha! Infinite Space Saddle Bag for all your travelling needs! Basically it's limbo in a bag. You're welcome" Discord snapped his fingers and the bag secured itself to Sunset with all the presents she'd been given being magically stored inside at the snap of the creatures finger.

"Uh...Thanks?" Sunset was grateful but she wasn't used to this level of madness and could tell she was going to have to get used to it very soon.

"And lastly? Some knowledge; because we all know how much you and your Twilight value it. The first bit of info is about the magic in your world; after doing a little digging around myself I came to find there are many different pockets of Equestrian magic and other ethereal forces leaking through cracks in the dimensional fabric of reality and all that jazz." Discord explained using a chalkboard showing the various points of leakage he was able to pinpoint.

"This is incredible news! With these locations we can surely get the world leaders and scientists trust to help us learn more about why this is happening, how its happening and how we can fix it and prevent it from happening again or at the very least coming up with a way to allow the world to acclimate to a world with magic in it." Sunset explained having high hopes that such raw proof of the existence of magic would aid in hers and Sci-Twi's endeavors in getting the scientific community of the human world to study magic.

"You're quite welcome and it was my pleasure to aid you. To be honest the human race is so...boring. They could use a little of the chaos and harmony that magic can bring their world but take heed child! There must be balance, so while you and you're rainbow color friends can go and fight the evil that exists know that some cannot be redeemed and to stop some of them? They must be destroyed and that is a cycle you must be ready to endure." Discord was hardly ever serious but lately when it came to his role as the God of Disharmony and Chaos? He took it rather seriously since he wanted to prove that he was reliable in his duties and wasn't just a goofy God who was to only be called upon as some sort of Mcguffin.

"I understand completely; after getting this new phoenix power I understand the need for balance far better than I ever did and you have my word that I'll do what I must to uphold it Discord. I trust you will do the same." Sunset stated bluntly to let the God of Chaos know she was serious.

"Fair enough; next piece of business? I took the liberty of looking into your past, to perhaps see if I could find you closure on where you actually came from and well...the answer is very interesting to say the least. Are you familiar with the Kirin my dear?" Discord asked aloofly.

"Vaguely, they are a very isolated race of pony but I do know they are very powerful when it comes to elemental magic and are the only other race of Pony besides Pegasi and alicorns that can live on clouds. Why?" Sunset asked now very interested to know what Discord had found out. "Wait you looked into my past? How?"

"I'm a GOD kid; Celestia and Luna may not like to strut it but they are too. Our powers are far beyond the comprehension of little pony's like yourself. So I popped back in time to see if I could pinpoint any origin of your parents and where you might've come from. For you see in life? There is always chaos and so I was able to track you in time through that and I have to say dear? The first year of your life was the most chaotic thing I'd seen in some time...and that's saying something." Discord said with a somber expression and held up a red and yellow swirling orb and handed it to Sunset.

"This has in it the closure you desire. I hope whatever you decide to do with what you learn brings you peace."

Sunset could feel many different emotions coming from the crystal sphere and while she did want to know? It could wait until after she spent her time with Sci-Twi. "Thank you Discord. That means a lot." Sunset said as she put the item in her new bag.

"Anytime kiddo. And finally! A little tip for you! When Midnight strikes-" Discord grinned and chuckled "Let her have her fun!"

Sunset raised a confused eyebrow. "Wha-?"

"Toodles!" Discord said snapping his fingers and using his magic to teleport Sunset back to her apartment and the time was 11:58.


As Sunset stood there confused and baffled by what just happened she shook her head to get her barrings and looked around to see that she was in fact back at her apartment and through her newly gain magic which enhanced her senses she was able to gather that she wasn't alone. There was a magical presence and it was in fact Twilight but that's not what had Sunset slightly concerned.

She felt two magic signatures and one was clearly Twilight...the other...it felt like Twilight but...darker but before she could finish a thought a saucy voice sauntered out to her after whistling to her from above.

"Welcome home Sunny. And just in time for the ball to drop!"

Turning around and looking Sunset's eyes were greeted with the sight of Twilight 'Sci-Twi' Sparkle but something was different. Her skin was a slightly darker shade of purple, her hair had darkened highlights and was disheveled in a manner she'd only seen when they were intimate and she was dressed only in shorts socks and a pink shirt with her cutie mark on it.

She hung upside down from the railing that helped create her loft and she was smiling a mischievous and playful grin much like how she was when she kissed her goodbye earlier today. Looking over at the time she licked her lips as she looked back at Sunset seeing it was now 12:00.

Giggling deviously she spoke up and said. "Well would you look at the time, it's-"

"Midnight Sparkle" Sunset managed to finally say unsure of what to do still. She thought Twilight said she was gone! Should have known it wouldn't be that easy!

Midnight laughed as she was finally acknowledged by Sunset."Ring-a-ding-ding Sunny-Butt! Ya miss me? Oh cause I sure as Hell missed you!" Midnight said smiling still.

"What'd you do with Sci-Twi!? Bring her back right now or I'll-!" Sunset's rage was beginning to build but she was trying to keep under control cause she didn't want to hurt Twilight.

Rolling her eyes with a giggle Midnight waved a hushing hand at the pony turned human. "Oh relax hot stuff I've done nothing with little Sparky. In fact? I am here with her blessings!" Midnight said still gleefully smiling.

"Huh?" Sunset said completely confused.

Flipping down from where she was hanging she stuck the landing and stood to her feet and stretched out a little and smiled rocking back and forth on her heels making her breasts bounce about as she moved about in a free-spirited manner. "Alright so here's a little secret for ya Sunny-Butt; I Midnight Sparkle have been apart of Twilight's mind for much longer than she let you know. Originally? I WAS HER BEST FRIEND...and imaginary one...BUT STILL! Anyway long story short? The Equestrian magic from the friendship games gave me life from deep within her mind because well...Equestrian magic is weird like that but because its so weird? It drove me crazy and by extension? Her crazy. So we decided to stop being separately crazy and well...just be crazy together. Embrace the MAD in MAD SCIENTIST!" Midnight explained as best she could still sounding positively cheery about the whole situation.

"I'm so lost." Sunset said still very much confused. She had always assumed Midnight Sparkle was similar to Sunburn Shimmer but never this similar.

While Sunburn was more or less the physical manifestation of her rage and hate? It would seem Midnight Sparkle was at one point more of a coping mechanism for Sci-Twi which made sense given how little friends the girl used to have.

Rolling her eyes Midnight groaned. "And I thought you were supposed to be perceptive. Ugh fine I'll let Sci-Twi explain."

"Huh?" Sunset gave her incredulous look.

The color of Midnight's eyes changed from an icy bluish color to the violet color usually associated with Sci-Twi "Ugh that is still weird to do. Look it's basically like a joined soul kind of thing. Midnight has always been apart of me...us...you know what I mean; and I didn't want to keep her locked away anymore and just pretend like she doesn't exist. I forgive her for almost destroying the world because you were able to forgive me for letting magic get out of hand because I was so curious. We just want to live in harmony and so this is what we came up with and well the 'bonding' has some interesting cosmetic and physical effects"

"So wait...you're still you? Like you haven't secretly turned evil or something this is just..." Sunset tried to find the best way to put it but then Midnight and Sci-Twi seemed to perfectly synchronize in their voices for a moment as they finished what she was trying to say.

"New year; New Me...So what do you think?" Sci-Twi asked blushing more akin to her usual bashful nature as she showed off her body for Sunset to admire. The effects of bonding souls and minds with Midnight Sparkle brought about changes she hadn't expected.

Like for one it would seem her body had matured because her breasts were at least a few cup sizes bigger than the last time she saw Sunset and her hips and thighs appeared to have filled out a little more putting Twilight just below having milf hips and she was already pretty good looking in the legs department.

The outfit she was wearing was simple but cute and contrasted her new darker skin tone with the pinks and purples in her clothes popped more with her skin now a slightly darker shade. She still had on her glasses but these were a new pair that Sunset had actually built for Twilight since the geeky science fiction nerd had begun teaching her more about tinkering and Rarity and Pinkie had aided her with her art skills, she had decided to make Sci-Twi a special pair of smart glasses that did minor things like link to her phone and allow video chatting or help her see long distances if need be for research.

But the biggest and most important feature was that she had put in an algorithm that could track and measure magic which would come in especially handy when they started tracking down the magic leak points that Discord had informed her about.

That's when it hit her. What Discord had meant right before he teleported her here.

'When Midnight strikes; Let her have her fun'

"I know it might seem like a little much; like I am acting out of character but really? Over the time we've been together you've helped me realize so much about myself that I never would have dared to try and discover. You've taught me I can be strong, independent , sexy, driven beyond measure and that I have ambitions matched by few and while I'll always be humble about these things? I think its high time I start recognizing just how special everyone keeps telling me I am and own it!" Sci-Twi's eyes flashed back to the seductive icy blue gaze of Midnight and her voice became more seductive and there was a sort of distorted magic echo to her voice.

"So my little pony how about we start off the new year right and-" Midnight walked closer to Sunset and pressed her chest up against her allowing the shoulder strap of her shirt to fall on the right side and once she was close enough she made it clear to show Sunset she didn't have a bra on. "-Make some magic." Midnight whispered seductively and flicked her tongue on Sunset's ear and delighted in the shiver that occurred as a result.

'Ohhhhh so this is what that sly devil meant...Well I say if the geek wants to play? Then lets play! C'mon and let me out! She wants to show off transformations? We can do that too!' Sunburn pleaded from within Sunset's mind, the succubus like nature Sundown held was very helpful when it came to sexual encounters and it would seem to her Midnight wanted to play.

'While I do agree with Sunburn to some extent surprisingly I believe you should check her feelings a little better dear. I get the feeling Sci-Twi may also want to give her input on the matter.' Daydream said encouraging Sunset to use her empathy touch to get to feel what Twilight and Midnight were feeling and understand what they wanted.

Sunset thought for a moment and wrapping her arms around Twilight and allowed her hands to come to rest on her ass. she used her powers to get a feel for her current state of emotions and she could tell lust and desire controlled her every thought but pure crazy lust wasn't all that drove her; it was love.

Passion, a need , a desire; to be loved and touched drove Twilight to take the steps she has right now and she could tell when she said make magic? That meant she wanted this to be special and something to be remember not just a few quick orgasms and then sleep.

Thinking about it as the images flashed through her mind she figured this would be good for all of them because all this time Sunset thought Midnight was a blight on Sci-Twi but clearly she managed to come to some sort of mutual understanding with her own inner demons who really only became a 'demon' by accident and so Sunset wished to understand her more and it would seem this would be the best way to do it.

'Well I think we have a clear picture of what she wants. Well you know what they say? New Year, New Me.' Sunset thought with a smirk as she squeezed her hands down on Twilight's impressive ass cheeks in a fashion that made the purple geek stand on her toes. Smiling she spanked one cheek and delighted in the squeak the girl made and she whispered to her.

"Time for a magic lesson." Sunset kissed Twilight and in doing so used her newly access and increased reserves of magic to teleport them up to her loft where they lay rested on Sunset's bed and Sunset had Sci-Twi pinned but the purple magic happy geek didn't seem to mind at all. Looming over her with a lustful sneer Sunset kept Sci-Twi's hands pinned to the bed but Sci-Twi had wrapped her legs around Sunset to pull her in closer, their breasts pillowing together even through the pesky clothes Sunset was still wearing.

"Well then Sunset Shimmer; teach me a thing or two" Sci-Twi stated, the magic echoing in her voice and reflecting in her eyes a burning lust that only Sunset Shimmer could match.

She could feel the magic in the air around the, she yearned to feel more, to feel as close and connected to Sunset Shimmer as she could and the clashing of their magical energies was a sort of erotic power trip that both Sunset and Twilight seemed to be getting used to as they looked into each others eyes ready to make the sweetest magic they ever did make together.
