Twilight the lonely princess

Pinkamena sighed, she's been falling a lot lately hasn't she? She slowly got up before taking a few steps forward as she looked around to see if Rainbow was with her. She wasn't.

Pinkamena was annoyed but decided to walk forward, hoping to find Rainbow as soon as she could so then they could find a way home. As she walked Pinkamena looked around, trying to find anything that could help her at the moment, but there wasn't nothing.

After walking a bit more her ears perked up, noticing Rainbow standing there she walked over. Rainbow turned her head to look at Pinkamena.

" Huh, your not dead. Sweet, anyway we still gotta find a way out of here but it looks like there are some houses over there."

Rainbow pointed towards the four houses.
"How about checking it out? I'll catch up in a bit" Pinkamena looked up at her before nodding and walking towards the houses.
Was it a village? She didn't think so. She looked up, trying to find something that would help but all she saw was a black thing shooting out into the sky..? What?

She walked up to one house and tried to open it but it was locked, she shrugged before walking off to another house and tried to open it once more but it was also locked. Pinkamena looked at the two other houses and decided to skip them, thinking that they were also locked.

Pinkamena continued to walk before another one of those bright things appeared, she then walked towards it and reached out to touch it.

"Infront of you a castle looms beneath the empty town. A black geyser emerges from it piercing endlessly into the sky. The power of this place shines within you"

Pinkamena stared at the object for a bit before walking once more.

Reaching stairs, she tilted her head slightly before walking up,from a distance Rainbow began following and continued to follow Pinkamena as she walked up the stairs as well.
Soon they were walking side by side, a castle beginning to show up from a distance as they got farther up the stairs.

"Why the hell is a castle doing in a supply closet?" Rainbow said continuing to walk up the stairs with Pinkamena.
Pinkamena just shrugged as she then stopped, Rainbow and Pinkamena had reached the castle and a pony standing infront of it with a cloak on.

"Welcome heros..!"

Pinkamena's ears perked up as she looked at the pony that had suddenly spoken.
"What the?!"

Rainbow looked at the pony with confusion.

"Do not be alarmed.. I am not your enemy..please come forward, both of you.."

Rainbow looked at Pinkamena and Pinkamena looked back, shrugging she and Rainbow slowly came forward near the pony.

"Welcome I am the princess of this kingdom..the kingdom of darkness."

"Pinkamena.. Rainbow dash... There is a legend in this land..A legend that one day, two heroes of light will arrive and fulfill the ancient prophecy foretold by time and space.. Please hero's listen to my tale.."

Pinkamena looked at the pony before turning to look at Rainbow who had a bored expression on her face. She looked back at the pony and nodded silently.

"O-oh! Um very well then!"

----------

Once upon a time a legend was whispered among shadows.

It was a legend
Of hopes and dreams.
It was a legend of light and dark.

This is the legend of Deltarune.

For a millennia light and dark have lived in balance, bring peace to Equestria. But if this harmony were to shatter, a terrible calamity would occur...

The sky will run black with terror

And the land will crack with fear,

and her heart pounding..the earth will draw her final breath..

Only then, shining with hope... Three heros will appear at worlds edge.

A earth pony
A Pegasus
And a Unicorn princess from the dark.

Only they can seal the fountains and banish the angles heaven.

Only then will peace be restored, and the world saved from destruction.

Today the fountain of darkness, the geyser that gives this land form, stands tall at the center of the kingdom.

But recently, another fountain has appeared on the horizon....and with it the balance of light and dark begins to shift...

"P-pinkamena, Rainbow d-dash.. thank you for listening to my long tale.. I deeply believe that both of you are the heros f-from the legend, that despite all the enemies you guys may face...you will still have the courage to save the world!
Delta warriors, p-please won't you accept your destiny?"

"Nah"

"W-what..?"

"Me? Some kind of hero or something? Though I would love to be praised, you've got to have the wrong pony."

"B-but R-rainbow dash! W-without you the world will.."

"So what? if the world gets destroyed? Its none of my damn business, and who knows it might be kind of fun honestly"

"..."

"Anyway,.. Pinkamena if YOU want to play pretend with this weird pony go on ahead, I'm going to find a way out of here.."

"R-rainbow wait!"

Suddenly a loud sound was heard, Pinkamena looked towards where the sound was heard from before a little pony driving a scooter came driving into the scene. Crashing into the hooded pony and sending them flying, the pony was now in there place, grinning.

"Ho ho ho! The heros are already running away~ and they didn't even know I was here! Hehe! My dad is gonna make me daughter of the month!"

"Who the hell are you?!"

The little pony grinned.
"Imm...!"
She then did a little spin on her scooter before facing them again.
"The bad guy! Hehe... You ponies wanna seal our dark fountain huh?!"
"And picturing you guys as clowns, save the world from eternal darkness?"

"Eh"

"Don't try and deny it! We both know you'll go east, it's your only way home! But
I, Scootaloo, won't let you go there! And I've got a flawless two step plan to ensure it!"

"Step one, I thrash you! Step two, you lose!"

Rainbow smiled slightly.
"Hmmm...nice plan kid"

Scootaloo brightened up.
"Really?"

"Yeah.."
Rainbow then suddenly grinned.
"Mind if we use it on you instead?"

A heart suddenly appeared in a box as Pinkamena and Rainbow had both gotten in a fight position and Scootaloo had done the same.

Pinkamena looked around before looking at the buttons infront of her. Without thinking she had chosen act for some reason and chose warning.

*You warned Scootaloo about Rainbow, she readies herself.

Rainbow suddenly took out a axe out of practically nowhere and attacked Scootaloo, but Scootaloo was ready and doged!

Rainbow smiled.
"Don't know how I got an axe but I have one now so cool-"

Scootaloo then pointed her hoof at them as spades came out of the sky and attacked them both but luckily they were able to dodge.

Pinkamena looked at Rainbow before looking back at Scootaloo before ending up choosing act.
Pinkamena still had no idea why she chose that but she didn't mind.

*You tell Scootaloo that there great at riding the scooter she has! Scootaloo grins.

"Ha! Of course I am!"

Rainbow then again attacked Scootaloo as she ended up dodging once more.

Scootaloo does a little spin on her scooter once more before riding it towards Pinkamena!
Pinkamena's ears perk up as she quickly leaped to the side, avoiding the attack.

Pinkamena then looked back at the buttons infront of her and chose Check.

* Scootaloo- ATK 8 DEF 10, too young to have a motorcycle so she lit her scooter on fire.

Pinkamena giggled silently at reading that as she then watched Rainbow attacking and missing.

"Ho ho ho!"
Scootaloo points her hoof towards them and sent alot more spades towards Rainbow dash.

Rainbow Dash spread her wings but quickly regretted it as she felt a bolt of pain on her wing, she grunted before looking at the spades. She quickly rolled off to the side before quickly standing up.

Pinkamena had easily danced around the spades and hadn't gotten hurt as she then looked at Rainbow to make sure she was okay and she was, she sighed in relief.

"W-wait! My scooter's running out of fuel! This isn't the last time you'll see me by the way! Anyway gotta get home before dinner-"
Scootaloo waved goodbye before running off on her scooter.

Pinkamena sat down and took a deep breath before slowly standing up, Rainbow was just standing there before looking at Pinkamena.

Then, the pony with the cloak returned and quickly ran near them.
"O-oh my! Are you girls o-okay?"
The pony asked worriedly.
Pinkamena nodded silently before looking at Rainbow then back at the pony.
"A-allow me to introduce myself!"
The pony stepped back a bit before a purple aura surrounded the cloak the pony wore before it was slowly taken off.

A unicorn was then revealed with a straight mane and purple fur, she also had a pair of glasses as well.
"Hello everypony! I-im Twilight S-sparkle!"
She said, shyly smiling at the two ponies infront of her.

"It's ever so wonderful to meet you two!"

Pinkamena looked at her and seemed uncomfortable, Twilight had a straight mane that slightly resembled her sister, Marble's mane from when she was younger. She couldn't help but feel a bit weird.

"I'm sure were going to be great friends and.."

"Best way to leave is east, right?"
Rainbow suddenly spoke, looking at the unicorn.

"Y-yes! That's where we'll.."

"Ok. Got it."
Rainbow then looked at Pinkamena before taking a few steps away from the two ponies before speaking once more.

"See ya at school Pinkamena"
She then began to walk away leaving the pink earth pony alone with the purple unicorn.

"W-wait! O-oh..."
Twilight looked down before looking back at Pinkamena and walked towards her.

"Pinkamena, I am a princess but.. I-I currently don't have any subjects..I've been waiting alone um almost my whole life for the two of you two arrive.. so um it's a pleasure meeting you, I hope we can become good friends, Pinkamena!"

Twilight stood there for a moment before she continued.
"Let's try and find Rainbow, she must have went southeast s-so..."

Twilight silently walked behind Pinkamena and smiled.
"You can lead the way Pinkamena!"

Pinkamena looked at Twilight before shrugging and walking away to where the bright object was. Pinkamena reached out.

"Twilight, the lonely princess is now your ally. The power of fluffy ponies shines within you."

Pinkamena looked at the bright object then at Twilight and smiled before continuing to walk past the four houses and into the room that seemed to have a dummy that was dressed up in the same outfit Twilight had. She tilted her head before looking at Twilight.

"O-oh! That's the training dummy I made! U-um Pinkamena..? Do you mind if I taught you how to fight?"
She said smiling at Pinkamena.

Pinkamena nodded silently.

"O-oh ok then, get ready!".
Both Pinkamena and Twilight got into fighting position. Infront of them a box appeared with a red heart inside.
"You see that heart? That's your soul! The
culmination of your being! Within it holds your will..,compassion, and the fate of the world"

"If it gets hit you and your friends will lose hp! If everypony's hp reaches 0 then we lose the fight, so make sure to dodge the best you can!"
Twilight explained.

"Now how about trying to dodge, are you ready?"
Pinkamena nodded once more as white dots began to came forward and attack Pinkamena. She quickly dodged most of them and sometimes it felt as if she was dancing infront of an audience. It felt..weird.

" Good job Pinkamena! Anyway once the enemy attacks it's our turn! So first I'll teach you how to fight.
T-though fighting is not necessary in this world there's no harm in a lesson! So when attacking you just click the fight button, go on ahead and try it!"
Twilight encouraged as she looked at Pinkamena.

Pinkamena looked at the buttons infront of her and clicked fight. She then tilted her head slightly as she stood there waiting for something to happen.
She suddenly got out a sword and attacked the dummy.

Her eyes widened as she stared at the sword for a moment, where did she...

"Wow that was a great attack Pinkamena! Have you done this before or something?"

All Pinkamena did was shrug.

"Well anyhow, now let's try defending! Simply click the button defend and the enemy's attacks will hurt you less! Not only that but you'll gather more TP! (Watch the orange bar on the left! I'll explain it next!)"

Pinkamena tilted her head, confused. What orange bar? There wasn't anything here that looked like a big orange bar - That unicorn is either seeing things..or Pinkamena was now blind apparently.

Anyway she clicked the defend button.
"G-great! Now that you've gathered enough TP why not use it for one of my spells? Because you hit the enemy enough it got tired! Now all you have to do is cast my pacify spell and we'll win the battle peacefully!"

Pinkamena looked at the dummy then back at Twilight for a moment before Twilight suddenly casted pacify.

"Good, Pinkamena! We would have won the battle by now! But there's still some things I still have to teach you!"

"Acting! Through this, even the most violent enemies can be defeated through various acts of kindness! Pinkamena, even if its just a dummy..why not give it a hug?"

Pinkamena looked at the dummy before looking at the dummy, she lightly pressed act and looked at the options.

*Hug dummy
*Hug Twilight

She was gonna pick the first option so she could hug the dummy like Twilight said but something was pushing her to choosing the second option. She sighed before pressing the 2nd option.

She trotted her way over to the confused Twilight before hugging her. Twilight blushed. "O-oh! Umm I don't think this is w-what your supposed to be doing....b-but...." Twilight looked as if she was going to cover her face with her scarf but just stood there before Pinkamena trotted back to where she was. Leaving a flustered Twilight.

Pinkamena then went back to Act and chose the first option, she trotted over to the dummy before hugging it.
"Aw! Your doing well Pinkamena! Each enemy had different acts that satisfies them! When an enemy is satisfied there name turns yellow! When that happens you can defeat it by sparing it!"

"If we spare all the enemies we meet we'll never have to fight! Now go on ahead and spare the dummy Pinkamena!"

Pinkamena turned back to face the buttons before choosing the spare button and successfully sparing the dummy.
"Great job Pinkamena! That would also be the end of a real battle! I'm really glad I got to teach you! Your a wonderful student Pinkamena! O-oh and I made a manual too f-for you and Rainbow! Just in case you ever forget! Press [C] to open it up in your menu!"

Twilight said as she levitated a book towards Pinkamena and smiled warmly.

Pinkamena was clearly confused with the last part but shrugged it off and nodded as she took the book and put it in her inventory. Where she had no idea where it was but when the book was gone she thought she would still have it with her.

She then began to walk towards the right with Twilight following behind her. Her ears suddenly perked up as she began to see a huge door. Twilight gasped.
"The great door is opened! No wonder Scootaloo was able to get in here!"

Twilight then looked down before looking back up at Pinkamena.

"Pinkamena..once we pass through this door our adventure will really begin. A journey foretold exactly by the prophecy..but Pinkamena I believe your choices are important, too! This world is full of all kinds of ponies..in the end how we treat them makes all the difference. So let's try our best to get by without fighting! If we can manage to do that..I believe this tale will have a happy ending! Otherwise I fear that..you may not...find the result favorable. ... Oh! Am I putting on too much pressure? I'm sorry! I-i-"

"I can handle it"
Pinkamena said nodding at Twilight.

"O-oh! Ok! Pinkamena, in the end, what you choose is up to you! As long as your happy with it then I'm happy too.
So just try your best and don't worry!"

Twilight said as she gave a reassuring nudge and smiled, Pinkamena smiled back before walking off and passed through the huge doors as Twilight then closed the door lightly.
