….esto!”

“Cele.to!”

“Celesto!”

Grand Ruler Celesto opened his eyes and saw his wife, Queen Celestia staring at him with a worried expression that turned to relief. “Celestia?”

“Oh, thank goodness, you’re awake.” Celestia helped him sit up as he rubbed his head. “Are you alright?”

“I.. think so. All I remember was being in the Professor’s Lab….” Celesto started.

Flashback

Their majesties were in the Professor’s Lab helping him clean up. Keeping his lab clean was a major necessity so nothing would accidentally become contaminated or somebody wouldn’t accidentally slip on something poisonous or etc.

“I want to thank you again for helping me clean up.” Brain praised.

“It’s no problem.” Celestia stated.

“Indeed.” Celesto added. Celestia was sweeping while Celesto was mopping the floors. Celesia accidentally bumped into a shelf and a purple liquid in a beaker was shaking and it almost feel if Brian hadn’t caught it with his magic. “Phew, that was close.” he said. “Glad this didn’t spill.”

“Professor, I’ve been meaning to ask you about that potion. What is it exactly?” Grand Ruler asked.

“This is my Alternate Dimension Potion.”

“Alternate Dimension Potion?” their majesties said in unison.

“Yes, it’s a potion that can send you to an alternate dimension.” Brain explained.

“What kind of alternate dimension?” Celestia asked.

“That’s unknown; all I know is it dangerous.” Brain said as he put it back on the shelf. “Now, if you excuse me, I’m going to go check on the lab boys.”

Brain left the room, while their majesties continued cleaning the room. Suddenly, the potion on the wall began rocking back and forth until it fell on the floor and the beaker shattered, startling their majesties. “How did that potion fall off the shelf?” Celestia questioned.

“I don’t know.” Celesto said.

The puddle of purple liquid began to glow and a large swirling vortex appeared before their majesties. Celestia felt herself begin pulled towards the portal. “Celesto! It’s… pulling me in!”

“Celestia!” He ran and grabbed his wife by the arms and tried to pull her out of the portal. “I’ve… got you darling!” But the portal began pulling him as well. He tried to pull himself and his wife out but the portal was too strong and it pulled them both in and the vortex closed up, leaving nothing behind. Not even the broken beaker.

That’s when Brain walked back into the room. “Your majesties, I’m back!” He called but he saw nothing in the lab. “Ummm… your majesties?”

Their majesties held each other while the traveled through the portal until everything went black.

Flashback End

Their majesties looked around and saw they were in a large forest. The trees were thick as well as the vegetation. “So where are we?” Celesto asked.

“I don’t know, dear.” Celestia helped him to his feet. “Maybe we should find a town?”

“Yeah… that could be a start.” her husband agreed. Their majesties held each others hands as they walked through the forest. Soon, the forest began to faded out and they found themselves on a path. They walked on the path until it lead them into..

“New Ponyville?” The duo walked into town and a hostile feeling came over them. As they walked through they saw the devastating state the town was in; buildings were reduced to ruins, and the ones that were still standing were boarded up, numerous holes in the ground, as well as the same green substance and there was no sign of ponies anywhere. It was almost like a ghost town! “This place looks deserted.” Celestia said.

“Indeed. What in the universe happened?” Celesto replied. Walking through the abandoned town, the two tried to see if was anything that would conclude someone still living here. Sadly, there was nothing but green slime, destroyed buildings and holes in the ground.

The two came to familiar building. “New Sugarcube Corner?”

The building looked like it was condemned by the wood boarding up the windows. Celestia turned to her husband, “Should we go in?”

“Well… it may have some clues.” Their majesties slowly approached the building and Celesto gently pushes the door open.

Creek

Inside, the store was covered in dust and dark. Cobwebs hung from the corners and the floor had patches of dirt. “Looks like no one's been in here for a while.” Celestia commented.

“Indeed.” The two of them went upstairs to Pinkie’s room and found no sign of her or the Cake’s. The room had dust and cobwebs, almost it hasn’t been touched in years, just like the rest of the shop. They went back downstairs, “This is so unsettling.” Celestia said.

“Indeed.” The two of them walked outside and scanned the area. “So… what do we do now?”

“You surrender or else!” a voice demanded. Their majesties turned and saw a familiar incest pony queen surrounded by her minions.

“Chrysalis?!” they gasped.

The changeling queen laughed as her army of changelings surrounded their majesties. They looked different than the changeling and queen from their world. The changeling minions were wearing green armor on their necks, faces and horns. As well as their queen who also had a staff with green crystals at the top.

The two royal stood back to back. Then, ponies started appearing; Pegasi, Unicorns, Earth Ponies and Space Alicorns as well, but their eyes were glowing green, meaning they were under her control! “Now, I thought I already captured you both when Me, Sombra and Nightmare Moon took over United Equestria, but it seems I was wrong, so I have no choice but to capture you both again.” she chuckled.

Their majesties were horrified at what they just heard. Nightmare Moon, King Sombra and Queen Chrysalis were all ruling their kingdom!

“Get them, my minions!” she ordered the changelings and ponies lunged at all of them, but at the last second, they teleported away and ran away. “After them, don’t let the escape!” Chrysalis ordered. The minions obeyed and chased after them. “Ugh.. darling what so we do?” Celestia asked.

“Back into the forest, quickly!” The two of the burst out of the town and dashed into the forest, swerving between trees. The minions stopped at the entrance having lost sight of them in the thick vegetation. Chrysalis fluttered by their side. “Those two can’t hide in there forever. I’ll find them and bring them to the dungeons of New Canterlot if it’s the last thing I do.” she laughed evilly.

Meanwhile, their majesties stopped running and caught their breath against some trees. “That… was close.” Celestia painted.

“Agreed.” Celesto added. “And I think the Professor’s alternate dimension potion worked.”

“Yeah, Chrysalis, Nightmare Moon and King Sombra ruling United Equestria. And they want to capture us.”

“We have to get back to our dimension.”

“But how?”

Celesto sighed, “That’s the question.”

Suddenly, the two of them heard rustling in the bushes. They quickly stood up and looked around. “Hello?.... Is anyone there?” Celestia called out.

Just then, the two of them were pounced on, tied up, had antimagic manacles on their horns and were surrounded by more ponies pointing spears at them, but these ponies were wearing some kind of green saliva on their bodies and four of the ponies were recognized by their majesties. “Pinkie Pie, Fluttershy, Starla Shine, Buddy Rose?”

“Silence.” Pinkie demanded. “Changelings.”

“All servants of Queen Chrysalis, Nightmare Moon and King Sombra found in these woods must be.. Destroyed!” Fluttershy stated. Their majesties gulped nervously.

The Changeling Resistance

Their majesties were trapped by a group of hostile ponies. They escaped Chrysalis only to run into a hostile group of ponies. “Put them in the cage.”

Their majesties were levitated by the unicorns into a large cage and the unicorns locked it. Two Earth Ponies carried the cage as the group walked through the forest.

“Darling-” Celestia whimpered.

“Shh… it’s okay, my love. I won’t let anything happen to you.” Celesto promised.

What nobody realized was that they were being watch by a pair of eyes… or more specifically two pairs of eyes.

The group took their majesties to their camp in a dark and damp part of the forest. There was houses made from trees and other ponies. When they saw the group coming back with their majesties in the cage, they gave them suspicious and angry looks. The ponies came to the middle of the camp and the cage was placed in the center.

Their majesties could tell that their presence wasn’t exactly welcomed among the group. A white Space Alicorn with a brown mane and tail approached the group but Grand Ruler recognized him anyway, “Lightning Dawn?”

Lightning snarled, “Why are you here, changelings?” he snarled.

“We’re not changelings, we’re Queen Celestia and Grand Ruler Celesto.” Celestia replied.

“That’s impossible, our rulers were captured when the trio took the throne.” Buddy objected.

“We’re from another universe.” Grand Ruler added.

“A likely story.” Pinkie snarled.

“Stop trying to trick us and confess, changelings!” Starla added as she stood by Lightning’s side.

“We’re not changelings, honest!” Celestia pleaded.

“Oh yeah, prove it then!” a pony challenged. Their majestie winced. How were they gonna prove to these ponies that they were not changelings. A changeling’s magical aura is dark green, so if they saw their magic auras were yellow then that would prove it, but they couldn’t use their magic cause of the anti-magic manacles on their horns. “What do we do?” Celestia whimpered.

Just then, there was a roar and a large, green two-headed creature with blue spots burst from the brush and changed the ponies. They all scattered away from the cage and the creature stood in front of the cage. Their majesties recognized the creature anywhere. “Dusk! Dawn!” Celestia cried.

The royal Titan Wing Zippleback roared happily seeing their riders. “How did you both get here?” Celesto asked.

“What is that monstrosity?!” Lightning snarled.

“He’s out Titan WIng Zippleback.” Celestia answered. The ponies aimed their spears at Dusk and Dawn. “Don’t hurt him, he’s our friend!” Grand Ruler pleaded.

“Please, around here, everyone’s an enemy.” Buddy growled. Dusk and Dawn spread out their wings and roared at the ponies, ready to defend themselves and their riders.

Just then…

“STOP!” a voice came.

Everyone looked in the trees and saw a familiar zebra stepping out of the shadows.
“If they are changelings we will soon see.” she leaped down from the tree and approached the cave. “Though I don’t think they are what they appear to be.

Dusk and Dawn growled at the zebra.

“Ah, a Titan WIng Zippleback I see,
A loyal dragon you have with thye.”

Dusk and Dawn stopped growling and stepped aside, letting her near the cage.

“Set them free
So I myself and judge thye.”

The ponies unlocked the cage and pulled their majesties out of the cage. Zecora approached them. “Beneath this salve, no changeling hides,
For it reveals the truth inside.” Zecora said as she put the moss on the royal ones. They both began to glow and the ponies backed off in fear. “What does it mean?” Lightning asked.

“The meaning is far worse I see,
For it is we who should not be.” Zecora replied.

“So you are our rulers from another universe?” Buddy asked.

“Indeed. Where we come from we defeated all the enemies here.” Grand Ruler said.

“And the two headed beast?” Fluttershy asked, receiving a growl from Dusk and Dawn. Celestia and Celesto rubbed them on their necks, “He’s our dragon.”

“So what are you doing here?” Buddy asked.

“We were teleported from out dimension to here. We’re trying to get back before your ‘rulers’ capture us.” Celestia said. Zecora though for a moment,

“There’s a powerful gem that’s a legend here,
But we all think that it's real,
A magical gem with powerful magic is known
Those where it resides is unknown,
What happens to the object nobody know,
For it vanished ages and ages ago.” Zecora explained.

“If you find the ancient shrine
And wied the gem
It will take you back to where you both resign
And restore our land to its prime.”

“Do any of you know where this ‘power’ would be?” Celesto asked.

“Hmm. The last place I've heard where the ‘power’ was last scene,
Was near Fire Mountain where dragons are known to be mean.” Zecora warned.

“Nobody has ever tried to go there due the dragons… tolerance to ponies.” Starla replied.

The Dragon Lands were on the far south side of the planet. “Well... looks like we’re going to Fire Mountain, darling.” Celesto said. Celestia nodded and the pony tribe gasped in shock. “You two are really going there?!” Buddy cried.

“Of course. We cannot just leave you all like this.” Celestia said. The pony tribe expressed their gratitude to Celestia and Celestia. The tribe helped them pack for their long journey ahead; plenty of food and water, sleeping bags and a tent for them to sleep and etc.

“Thank you all.” Celesto praised. Zecora handed him a map.

“Walk down this trail, and do not delay,
And you should reach your destination right away.” Rhymey instructed.

“But be warned, the journey there has immense danger.” Lightning warned.

“What kind of danger?” Celestia asked.

Lightning took the map in Celestino's hands and spread it out. “First you have to trek through the Nightmare Forest, ruled by Nightmare Moon. Then, you have to climb over the Dark Mountain, ruled by King Sombra and finally, you’ll have to get across the ocean ruled by the King of Waves. He doesn’t take kindly to trespassers so be careful.”

Their majesties nodded.

“Hopefully, you will make some more allies along the way.” Lightning added as he gave the map back to Grand Ruler.

He took the map and nodded. “Well we better get going, we have much to do.”

Suddenly, everybody heard screaming and out from the brush came Rainbow Dash, Rarity and Applejack. “Please you have to help us.” Rarity pleaded. They all looked really beat with scratches all over and their manes and tails were tangled and disheveled.

“The changelings attacked New Ponyville, we barely escaped with our lives. We need the two alicorns to help us.” Rainbow added. Their majesties started to slowly walk towards them, until Zecora stopped them.

“For the new friends we defend.
And the only changeling attack I see,
Is the one come here looking for our new friends.” Zecora said.

Applejack walked in front of Rainbow Dash and Rarity. “So this is where you two decided to hideout, huh?” she said sinisterly before consuming herself in green flames. The pony tribe immediately stood in front of the royal ones as ‘Applejack’ changed into Queen Chrysalis! ‘Rainbow’ and ‘Rarity’ changed into soldier changelings from before.

“Did you really think you could hide from me?” Chrysalis sneered. “Having another set of the Grand Ruler and his Queen would be delightful and delicious. Surrender them to me now, or face the consequences!”

“We’d never surrender our only hope to a creature like you!” Lightning snarled. Chrysalis laughed. “Well then... guess I’ll have to take them by force.” she said as she lit her horn, but before she could fire…

“TENFOLD UNIFORCE” she got blasted hard by Grand Ruler. The soldier changelings charged forth but Celestia came in and kicked the two of them away. Chrysalis got to her feet, growling. “So, you two wanna fight huh?” she challenged. Dusk and Dawn blasted her back while the pony tribe approached her with their spears. Seeing, she was not going to get their majesties easily, she decided to retreat. “I’ll will get you two, so watch your back” and she and her changelings flew away. When she was gone, the tension faded.

“Thanks.” Starla praised.

“It was no problem.” Celestia replied.

“Now you both get started on your journey,
We’ll try not to worry.” Rhymey said. Celestia and Celesto nodded and they and their dragon set off into the forest, where anything could happen to them.

Nightmare Castle

The three of them trekked through the forest together. Dusk and Dawn kept looking around the area, wanting to make sure nothing would try and take their riders. Then, the two headed dragon heard a growling coming from their riders.

They roared at them and saw the two of them holding their stomachs. “We’re okay boys, we just haven’t eaten anything yet.” Celestia replied.

“Yeah, I am rather famished myself.” Celesto added.

Their stomachs growled again and they both groaned. Dusk and Dawn scanned the treetops and saw two apples in the tree. They both flew up to the treetop and grabbed the apples with their mouths. They descended down to their riders and gave them the apples. “Thanks boys.” Their majesties ate the apples. Through it wouldn’t completely fill their stomachs, it would at least keep them from growling.

Dusk and Dawn licked their riders. “Hehehe, thanks boys.” The three of them continued walking until they entered a new land. The sky around the land was dark with black clouds shooting lightning out of them overhead. The forest was similar to New Everfree Forest, but more terrifying. There was black vines on the trees and owls calling out into the dark. “I’m guessing we’re in Nightmare Forest, aren’t we?” Celestia inquired.

“Yes.”

Celestia gulped. Celesto held her hand and looked at her lovingly, “Don’t worry, I won’t let anything happen to you.”

Their majesties and their dragons walked into the forest. Wolves were howling in the dark, and there were no sunlight at all. "This place is really dark. Like nighttime." Celestia commented.

"Well, Lightning did say this placed was ruled by Nightmare Moon. We must be very caution." Grand Ruler warned. The bushes near them began to rustle and Dusk and Dawn perked up. Something was coming. "Get down." Celesto hissed. The trio ducked into a nearby bush and peeked out of it. Passing by were two bat ponies.

They were scouting the area. "Any sign of the alicorns?" one asked.

"Nothing." his comrade answered.

"Well, our Queen wants them in her custody as soon as we find them." His comrade nodded and they went off into the forest. The three of them walked out of the bush when it was clear. “Oh dear, we better get out of this area, quickly.” Celestia said.

“Right come on.” The three of them continued on through the forest. They were halfway through the forest when Dusk and Dawn’s ears picked up some buzzing. "Changelings! Hide!" Celestia hissed. The three of the were about to jump into a nearby bush, but their majesties got blasted by some sticky goop, immobilizing them. Dusk and Dawn roared in concern but more and were about to blast the goop off of them but changelings and bat ponies surrounded them. "Nice work, drones." the bat pony praised.

"Anything for our Queen." The changelings hissed. Dusk and Dawn roared at the changelings and bat ponies while they hissed back. Their majesties didn’t want to see their dragon get hurt by the changelings and the bat ponies. “Dusk, Dawn, get out of here!” Celestia ordered. Dusk and Dawn looked at them, shocked. “We’ll be alright boys, it’s us they want. Please, you have to go!” Celesto said.

The changelings and bat ponies hissed at the Titan Wing. Even though instinct drove them to protect their riders, they knew they couldn’t defend them alone, so them had no choice… but to leave their riders. The changelings and bat ponies watched as the Titan Wing Zippleback flew away. “Hehe, smart dragon.” the changeling leader hissed and he picked their majesties up in their magic. "Now let's take these two fugitives to the Queens." a changeling hissed. Their majesties didn't like how this was going. The changelings walked away with the bat ponies leading them.When they were gone, Dusk and Dawn came back and saw them taking their riders to the castle.

They had to save them so he decided to follow them. He followed them to a large castle which they concluded belonged to Nightmare Moon.

They saw the bat ponies and changelings entering through the front door and silently and quickly flew inside before the closed. They quickly hid in a hallway, using the shadows to hide their large form. They heard the footsteps of the bat ponies and changelings. They rushed to the door of the throne room and peeked through the cracked door.

Inside were their majesties in a cage surrounded by the changelings and bat ponies. They wore anti-magic manacles on their horns and braces on their wings, making it impossible for them to escape. Queen Nightmare Moon sat on her throne and stared at the trapped couple.

Their majesties stayed silent while giving Queen Nightmare Moon very unhappy looks. "Well, well, well, looks like I've found what Chrysalis was looking for. Before I delivery you to her, I have my own plans for you two." she grinned. Their majesties did not like the sound of that and neither did Dusk and Dawn.

Nightmare Moon walked off of her throne, “Bring them.”

Dusk and Dawn quickly hid in the shadows as she, and her followers followed her out of the throne room and down the hall. Dusk and Dawn looked at each other worried. How were they going to rescue their riders? There was no way they could fight the bat ponies and changelings by themselves.

“Well, looks like you both could use some help.” a voice suddenly came. The boys turned sharply around and saw a peach colored human with aquamarine hair with a purple streak. She had peach colored wings and a horn. Dusk and Dawn recognized her as Sapphire. But she looked different. For one, by her side was a Night Fury instead of Light Fury and she had a scar over her left eye. “I’m guessing you're the alternate royals dragon?” she asked.

Dusk and Dawn looked at her surprised. “I’ll take that as a yes.”

“Now how about we go save you riders?” she offered. Dusk and Dawn looked at each other and back at alternate Sapphire. They both nodded and followed the girl and her Night Fury dragon.

They were outside a large room where they saw their majesties tied together, hanging above a tank filled with cragdiles; crocodiles with the hides of rocks.

Their majesties struggled to get free but it was fruitless. “There’s no use in struggling. Prepare to be my pets new lunch. Lower them in!” Nightmare Moon hissed. The bat pony nodded and pulled down the lever, lowering their majesties towards the tank. “Oh, I wish Dusk and Dawn were here.” Celestia whimpered.

“Me too darling, but we did to protect them.” Celesto added.

“But now we’re gonna be cragdile lunch.”

The cragdiles licked their lips, waiting for their presented meal to come to them. Their majesties gulped nervously.

Nightmare Moon and the minions laughed at their majesties fate when suddenly the Night Fury blasted the bat ponies and Nightmare Moon away from the console. “What? What are you doing here, Sapphire Shimmer?!” Nightmare Moon snarled.

“I’m here to rescue this Titan Wing’s riders.” Sapphire replied. “Midnight, Plasma Blast!” The Night Fury blasted the console, and their majesties stopped moving. “Phew.” they sighed in relief.

“Don’t be so sure.” Nightmare said. She blasted the rope, making it begin to burn. Dusk and Dawn gasped as the rope continued to burn. It the rope completely broke, their majesties would fall into the tank!

Sapphire blasted the bat ponies and changelings. “Zippleback, get you rider, NOW!”

Dusk and Dawn roared and flew over to their riders. Changeling hovered in front of them and hissed at them. The rope burn some more and their majesties dropped a few feet. “Dusk! Dawn! HELP!” their majesties cried.

Dusk and Dawn blasted the changelings out of the way just as the rope completely broke. “YAAAHHHHH!” Before they hit the water, Dusk and Dawn grabbed the rope and flew out of the room quickly followed by Sapphire and her dragon. The four of them flew out of the castle and hid in a cave. Changelings and bat ponies passed by the cave but they weren’t spotted.

Once they were gone, they all gave a sigh of relief. “That was close.” Sapphire said.

Dusk and Dawn bit the ropes off of their riders and removed the manacles from their horns. “Thanks boys.” Celestia said. “We’re sorry, we told you to leave us. We were just trying to protect you.” Dawn licked his rider. “But it would seem you protected us too.” Celesto said receiving licks from Dusk.

Dusk and Dawn looked back at alternate Sapphire and her Night Fury. “So, I’m guessing your after the gem in the Dragon Lands, huh?”

“Yes.” Celestia replied.

“Well, good luck. I’ll led you four to the next area. Follow me.” Sapphire mounted her Night Fury and their majesties mounted Dusk and Dawn. They took off into the night sky and followed the rider and the dragon. The night time sky turned red and grim with black skies above. Dusk and Dawn gave roars of concern about the change in environment. “I know boys, this doesn’t look very welcoming either.” Celesto agreed.

Sapphire and their majesties landed just a few yards from a town. “Well, this is as far as I go, ponies.” she said. “Good luck on your quest and be extra careful here. The locals here have been known to be aggressive.” she advised and she and her dragons flew off and headed back towards Nightmare Forest.

Chillin Like a Villain

Their majesties dismounted Dusk and Dawn and looked at the town in the distance. “... Well then, let’s get moving.” Celesto said.

“Wait… are you sure?” Celestia asked. “Sapphire did say they are aggressive.”

“We just have to get through this town and through the forest to reach the Dark Mountain.” Grand Ruler stated as he pointed beyond the town, where a mountain with black clouds circling the peak laid ahead. “Once we get over that mountain then we just have to cross the ocean and we’ll be in the Dragon Lands, simple.”

Celestia was still hesitant about this plan of just walking into a town that could very well or positively be hostile towards them. Grand Ruler sensed her nerves and hugged her. “I won’t let anything happen to you, my love.”

HIs words soothed his nerves a little. “Alright… let’s go.”

Their majesties held each others hands and walked into the town followed by their dragon. The town looked a little roughed up; Some of the buildings had holes in them and there was graffiti and the walls but overall it wasn’t that bad. The only downside was the ponies.

They spotted their majesties and their dragon walking in the town and looked at them with snarling expressions. Some of the ponies their majesties saw were wearing eye patches, had scratches on their faces and looked really bruly and mean. Celestia held her husband's’ hand a little tight. “Don’t worry, I’ll protect you.” he promised.

“Hey!” a rough voice called out. Their majesties stopped and turned around to be met by a bruly stallion with an eye patch over his left eye and a face and body covered in healed scratches.

“What are you two doing in our town?” he snarled.

“We’re… just passing through that’s all.” Celestia replied, trying to stay brave, but as the number of ponies slowly and slowly increased, their majesties soon found themselves surrounded by everyone in town… well almost everyone except for three ponies; One female was a Unicorn with a blue mane and tail and peach colored fur. She was wearing a heart-shaped ruby necklace, a dark blue cape paired with a printed leather skirt with spiderweb leggings and black combat boots. And two males; The one male was a black Earth Pony with a white mane and tail wearing a black and white jacket and black sneakers. The other male was a light green pegasi wearing a blue, red and gold jacket along with black sneakers. All three of them were looking at their majesties.

Dusk and Dawn growled at the number of ponies. “And what’s this?” the stallion inquired. “You’re pet?”

“No, he’s our friend.” Celesto growled back at him.

The stallion laughed. “There are no friends here. Everyone’s an enemy around here, including you two and you know what we do with enemies?”

The ponies around started cracking their knuckles and laughing sinisterly at the royals. Their majesties held each other in fear as Dusk and Dawn roared at them.

“.... Attack!” the ponies roared as they all pounced on their majesties, punching and kicking them furiously in a cloud of dust. Their majesties couldn’t fight back because they were so fast. Dusk and Dawn couldn’t fire at the ponies cause that would hurt their riders too. Celestia managed to a free the upper half of her body from the fight. Her name was disheveled and she had multiple scratches and bruises on it, including a black eye! “Boys, get out of here!” she cried before she was pulled back into the fight. Celesto broke free this time nd he was in the same condition as his wife, except he had a busted lip too, “You have too! GAH!” and got pulled back in. Dusk and Dawn didn’t know what to do; they couldn’t leave their riders to be pummeled.

Just then a whistle sounded through the air and the dust cloud vanished revealing everyone freezing in place with their majesties on the bottom. Some of the ponies were pulling on their mane and arms while others looked ready to kicked them.

The three ponies exited the alley and approached the mob. “Alright, you all let the royal ponies go.” the mare ordered. “Now.”

The ponies grumbled and respected the mares wishes and left the injured couple. They were both bruised and badly beaten. “Oooowwww.” they groaned. Dusk and Dawn rushed over and roared softly. The two males approached them, “They roughed them up good, Shadow.” the black stallion claimed. “I know, Comet.” she turned to the green stallion, “Blaze, get the beds ready for them.”

“Yes, Shadow.” Blaze dashed off while Shadow used her magic to carry their majesties along. Dusk and Dawn followed them.

They were soon in a building and their majesties were placed in two beds. Comet gave the two some ice packs while Blaze bandaged their injuries. Luckily, there wasn’t any internal damage.

Their majesties winced as Blaze placed some peroxide on their wounds. “This will help with infection.” he said. Shadow came back with two small bottle of medicine. She poured two spoonfuls for the ponies. “Here.” Their majesties accepted the spoonfuls and coughed a little.

“Thank you.” Celestia croaked.

“Shhh… easy, you two need some rest.” Comet stated. Dusk and Dawn nuzzled their riders as the three ponies left the room.

They soon came back with Shadow and Blaze carrying two bowls of soup for the injured couple. Dusk and Dawn helped their owners sit up in the beds. "Here." Shadow and Blaze placed the bowls of soup on their laps. "Thanks." Grand Ruler said. Comet gave the two headed dragon a barrel full of fish. Dusk and Dawn smiled and went in for a bite, but bonked their heads together. They looked at each other and tried again and bonked their heads again. Then they decided that Dusk would eat first and then Dawn would finish the rest.

Shadow scanned their majesties injuries with her magic. "Alright, then that healing spell I placed on you both worked fine." She used her magic to remove the bandages from the wounds. Their majesties finished their soup. "Thank you very much for the soup and your hospitality." Celestia said.

"No problem. We kinda guessed you two would end up like that happens to anyone whose nice around here." Blaze commented. "And I'm guessing you the ones that Sombra was talking about?"

"Yeah. We have to get to the Dragon Lands so we can get back home." Grand Ruler said.

"We'll help you." Shadow offered. "Right, boys."

"Eh." the stallions shrugged.

Their majesties smiled a little. Shadow opened the door and looked around. There were only a few ponies out now. "Come on." Shadow led their majesties with the stallions in the back for extra protection. They went into an alleyway and walked to the back of it. "What are we doing here?" Grand Ruler asked.

"We need to change you two if you want to get through this town." Shadow replied.

"Change us?" Celestia echoed. She and her husband looked at each other, "What's wrong with us?"

"If you want to get through this town, you'll have to look and act like one of us." Shadow used her magic and replaced their majesties fancy clothes with a jean jacket and a beanie. She placed and invisibility spell on their horns to hide them from sight, but Grand Ruler drew the line at replacing the cape, so she placed an invisibility spell on that too. She replaced their boots with sneakers.

"Now, you have to act like us." Comet said.

"How do we do that?" Celestia asked.

"Drop the 'please' and 'thank you'." Shadow said.

"And don't stare." Blaze added.

"Slouch a little." Comet added. Their majesties were a bit confused. "Ummm... okay?" they said in unison.

"You two need to just.... chill." Music started playing as Shadow and her boys explained to their majesties how they needed to act to get through the town.

(Shadow)
Let me tell you something you can really trust
Everybody's got a wicked side
I know you think that you can never be like us
Watch and learn so you can get it right

(All)
You need to drag your feet
You need to nod your head
You need to lean back
Slip through the cracks

By the time the song ended, the five of them were outside the town and at the base of Dark Mountain. "Nice you two." Blaze praised.

"Thanks." Grand Ruler said.

Shadow used her magic and changed the two back into their royal attire and removed the invisibility spell on their horns and the cape. "Looks like the rest is up to you two. The ocean is right over this mountain." Shadow replied.

"Right and thanks again." Celestia said. The three ponies nodded and walked back to the town. Their majesties and their dragon looked up the mountain. "Ready?" Grand Ruler asked.

"Ready." Celestia and her husband mounted their dragon and they flew up the side of the mountain, unaware that there was a pair of eyes watching them.

Dusk and Dawn were almost at the peak of the mountain, they were in one of the thick, black clouds. Their majesties could barely see where they were flying. "It's really dark in this cloud." Grand Ruler said.

"Yep." Suddenly, they all heard a loud cry split through the air. Dusk and Dawn stopped flying. "What was that?" Celestia asked.

Suddenly, a large blur rushed past Dusk and Dawn, causing them to spin out of control and crash at the top of the mountain. "Ugh... what was that?" Celestia groaned, rubbing her head. The cry was heard again and this time the blur came out of the cloud. It revealed to be a Roc. A huge bird of prey creature with giant wings and talons.

It squawked at their majesties and their dragon and dove right for them. "Move!" Grand Ruler cried. Dusk and Dawn shot into the air, just as the Roc's talons scrapped the ground. The giant bird squawked and flew after the Titan Wing. The Zippleback turned and saw the Roc gaining on them. "Celesto, what do we do?" Celestia asked. The Roc made several attempts to grab the Zippleback in mid-air, but luckily, Dusk and Dawn were quick, despite their size. Grand Ruler saw the dark clouds above them, "Boys, quick, into the clouds!" he ordered. The dragon obeyed and flew into the clouds with the Roc right behind him. The Roc hovered in the air looking for Dusk and Dawn.

Thanks to their dark colors and marking, the two of the were hard to be seen in the clouds. The Roc continued scouting in the clouds unaware that the Zippleback and it's riders had seeked shelter in the forest below on the other side of the mountain. "Well... we lost it." Celestia sighed.

"Yeah, come on, we better get moving." Grand Ruler added. The two of them and their dragons briskly walked through the fores, hoping the Roc wouldn't come back and try to grab them

King of Waves

The gang walked on and soon found themselves on a coast line and a large body of water. “The Ocean! We made it!” Celestia cried with joy.

“Now we have to cross it.” Celestia said. “And watch out for the King of the Waves.” She looked around the coastline for anything buoyant enough to carry them all across the ocean. “But I don’t see anything that can sail us across.”

Grand Ruler had an idea. “Hold on.” Concentrating hard, he used his magic and appeared a yacht for all three of them.

“Excellent work, darling.” Celestia added. Grand Ruler breathed heavily. “You’re welcome. So shall we go?”

Soon the two of them and their dragons were off on the yacht. Dusk and Dawn were flying above the yacht Celestia were near the front of the boat while Celesto was steering the yacht. Dusk and Dawn never saw anything so beautiful in their life. Dolphins were leaping out of the water and seagulls were flying overhead. “This is so cool.” she claimed, excitedly.

Her husband chuckled. “I’m glad you like it.” Just then, Dusk and Dawn roared in concern and landed on the deck of the yacht. "Boys, what is it?"

CRASH! BOOM!

Just then, lightning crashed overhead and rain began pouring down. The waters got rough and choppy. Celestia struggled up to where her husband was, “Celesto, what’s going on?” Celestia asked.

“I don’t know, this storm came out of nowhere.” he struggled to keep the yacht straight as the waters got rougher from the storm. “Ummm.... darling.” Celestia whimpered Celesto looked and saw some really big waves heading their way! “Oh dear.” Celestia whimpered.

“Hang on!” Celesto called. Dusk and Dawn rushed below deck and into the room while Celestia grabbed onto her husband. The boat was rocked by the waves, being carried up and down by them. “WOAH, WOAH, WOAH.” the two of them cried as they went over the waves. Grand Ruler was struggling to keep the yacht steady. “Ugh… it’ll be okay.” he called.

“Where did this storm even come from?” Celestia cried.

Just then, the three of them heard a loud, booming voice.

“WHO DARES ENTER MY OCEAN?”

Their majesties froze at the sound of the voice. “Is that who I think it is?" Celestia whimpered. Then a large figure appeared out of the water. It was a large seapony about fifty feet tall. His coat was transparent blue with a transparent mane. “The King of Waves.” the couple whispered in awe.

He didn’t look a happy to see them.

“WHO DARES ENTER MY OCEAN?”

“We’re sorry to intrude on your territory, King of Waves, but we need to get across your ocean.” Grand Ruler called up to the large seapony.

“AND WHY SHOULD I LET YOU THREE CROSS MY OCEAN?”

“We have to restore peace to this land.” Celestia added. “Please let us pass.”

The King still look hostile toward their majesties.

“I”LL LET YOU PASS, IF YOU CAN PASS MY TEST.”

“Wh-What test?” Celestia quivered.

“YOU HAVE TO GET PASS THREE OBSTACLES OF MY STORM. IF YOU DO THEN I WILL LET YOU PASS.”

Their majesties looked at each other and back at the King of Waves. “We’ll do it.” they said in unison.

The King smirked. “They won’t make it pass the first obstacle.”

“VERY WELL THEN. YOUR TEST BEGINS NOW.”

With that, he turned into water again and Celesto started the engine and moved the yacht forward. “Wonder what the first obstacle is.” Celestia wondered.

“ROCKS!” Celesto cried in fear. The yacht was heading right for some sharp pointy rocks! “Hold on.” Celesto called as he steered the boat through the rough and wavy waters. Celestia held on to her husband. When Celesto steered around the last rock, the two sighed in relief. “One down, two more to go.” Celestia gulped. The trio heard a loud, rumbling sound. “What is that?” Celestia asked. “WHIRLPOOL!” Celesto cried. The two looked ahead and saw a large rotating vortex of fluid.

Celesto gasped and held the steering wheel tightly. “Hang on to something!”

Celestia grabbed the first thing they could find… which was Celesto.

The yacht was sucked into the whirlpool. Celestia held onto Celesto while he held the steering wheel.Their feet left the ground leaving them hanging on to whatever they were holding on to. “We’ve gotta get out of here!” Celestia yelled.

“I’ve got to give her full power!” Celesto called. He struggled to reach for the stick shift to give the engine full power, but the force of the spinning was making it difficult. Celestia struggled to hold on, but she was starting to lose her grip!

"Hurry darling, I can't hold on much longer!" Celestia cried. The two ladies did not want to get thrown into the ocean. Finally, Celesto gripped the stick shift. "GOT IT!" He gave the engine full throttle and the yacht burst out of the whirlpool and into the air. “YAAAAHHHHH!!!!” the two cried.

SPLASH!

The yacht splashed hard into the ocean again and the two crashed onto the yacht floor. Their majesties got up, “Are you okay?” Celesto asked. His wife was a little dazed and dizzy from all the spinning but overall she was okay.

“Yeah, I'm okay, dear.” Celestia replied. “I’m just glad to be out of that whirlpool.”

“Now only one more test to go.” Celesto added. Dusk and Dawn came out this time as Celesto sailed the yacht for a few more yards when another figure burst from the water. It was dragon made entirely out of water! It was spines he along it’s back and it was thirty feet long and a wingspan of thirty feet. "You've gotta be kidding!" Celesto whimpered.

“A water dragon?!” Celestia cried.

“And it doesn’t look happy.” Celesto added. The dragon roared at the trio and blasted a high pressure water attack from it's mouth at the boat, pushing it back. “WOAH!” they cried. The boat steadied out. "Looks like we have no choice.” Celesto blasted the dragon with his magic, making it roar in pain and Celestia did the same thing. The dragon growled angrily and blasted another water attack. Their majesties created a barrier, deflecting the attack back at the dragon. The dragons roared in pain and created a large water spout. He sent it towards the yacht. "WATCH OUT!"

The water spout lifted the yacht into the air. "WAAAHHHHHH!!!" the two cried. The water spout suddenly stopped and the yacht dropped into the water. They were dizzy and dazed from that attack. Their majesties got to their feet.

The dragon roared at them. Dusk and Dawn fired their attack at the water dragon, but it went right through since water beats fire. "How are we gonna beat it?" Celestia asked.

“I know.” Celesto aimed his horn at the dragon and unleashed his “TENFOLD UNIFORCE!” the attack consumed the dragon, completely vaporizing the dragon. “Phew, that was way too close.” Celestia sighed.

That's when the King of Waves appeared again.

“EXCELLENT WORK, YOU THREE HAVE PASSED MY TEST. YOU THREE MAY PASS AND CONTINUE ON YOUR QUEST.”

The two smiled. “Thank you.” they said in unison.

The King turned into water again and Celesto drove the yacht for a few miles. Hours later, night had fallen and Celesto yawned. Celestia came up to him. "Darling, come to bed, please."

"I can't darling, I have to... keep... watch." he almost fell over if his wife hadn't caught him. "Darling, you're exhausted. You need to rest. Please do, for me." Celesto, now realizing how tired he was and how he knew better than to argue with his wife, complied. "Alright, let's go to bed." Celestia smiled at him and the couple went below deck to the sleeping area. Dusk and Dawn were already sleeping soundly on one of the beds. They were like their majesties beds back home. Their majesties climbed into the second bed "Do you think we'll get home after this, darling?" Celestia asked.

Celesto turned to his wife and smile at her. "I'm not so sure dear. We just have o hope." Celestia grinned at her husband. "Now come, let get some rest." His wife agreed and closed her eyes. "Goodnight, my love." Celestia said. "Goodnight, darling." Celesto added. And their majesties fell into a peaceful slumber.

Dragon Lands

The next morning, the yacht reached land and leaped off the boat. Their majesties and their dragons leaped off of the yacht and found themselves in a large area with volcano's and lava pits all around. "The Dragon Lands." Celesto said. He took out the map and it glowed. Zooming in on the dragon lands, a blue line appeared and made a path on the map as well as the ground. "Looks like we have to follow it." Celestia said. Celesto nodded and they followed the blue path through the Dragon Lands and stopped at the base of a volcano. They walked inside and came out in a large chamber. In the middle was a large pool of lava and a bridge that connected the two side of the chamber.

At the other side of the chamber was a shrine with a gem floating in the center with a mystical glow to it. "That's the gem." Celestia confirmed. "Let's go."

But before they could begin to cross the bridge, "Not so fast!" three magic beam came and almost hit their majesties if they haven't jumped back. That's when Chrysalis, Nightmare Moon and King Sombra appeared before them. "You two aren't getting that gem." Nightmare Moon claimed. Chrysalis whistled and her changeling, shadowbolts and bat ponies came and surrounded their majesties and their dragon. "If you know what's good for you, you both will come quietly to the dungeons of New Canterlot." Chrysalis said.

Their majesties growled, but they knew they couldn't fight all these minions and their leaders by themselves. The minions appraoached them, ready to captured them. Their majesties stood back-to-back, seeing no other way out of this but to fight.

Suddenly....

"Leave our friends alone!" a voice cried.

"What?" the three leaders cried. Everyone turned and saw Shadow, Comet, Blaze, Sapphire and her Night Fury and the Changeling Resistance all standing in the entrance to the chamber. "Let them go!" Shadow cried.

"And their dragon too." Comet added. Their majesties smiled at each other. Their friends had come all this way to help them save their universe. Nightmare Moon laughed, "You pests don't stand a chance against us. Take the ponies!" The shadowbolts and bat ponies lunged for their majesties but Dusk and Dawn swatted them all away and Sapphire's Night Fury blasted them with his plasma blast. "Gp for the gem, We'll handle them!" Alternate Starla said.

Their majesties nodded and made a beeline for the gem, crossing the bridge quickly. Their friends were fighting against their leaders minions and winning. The Changeling resistance swatted the changeling with their spears, Shadow blasted the shadowbolts with her magic while Blaze and Comet punched and kicked them. Sapphire also blasted the minions with her magic and her Night Fury fired his plasma blasts at them. Their majesties made it to the other side of the chamber and approached the gem when Nightmare Moon and King Sombra landed in front of them. "You two aren't getting away." Nightmare Moon hissed.

They blasted their majesties but they created a shield around them, deflecting the blast. Sombra growled and lunged for Grand Ruler but Dawn grabbed his by his cape and threw him to the other side of the chamber, knocking him into some of the shadowbolts. Dusk and Dawn then blasted Nightmare Moon with their fire, sending her flying, and giving their riders a clear shot to the gem. They both grabbed it and immediately it glowed brightly. The friends and minions stopped and stared at them. The gem spun around and around as it glowed brighter and brighter. "No." Sombra said.

And the gem sent out a large, powerful shockkwave, destroying the minions. "NOOOOO!" the three leaders cried as the magic from the gem destroyed them as well. The magic shot out of the volcano and spread throughout United Equestria, restoring it to it's original state and everything turned white.

Their majesties slowly awoke to find their two headed dragon staring at them. Dusk and Dawn licked their owners, happy they were awake. "Hehe, it's good to see you both too." Celestia said.

They both sat up and found themselves in bed. They got up and went outside to find all their friends outside, all with happy smiles on their faces. "So our heroes are awake now." Alternate Lightning said.

"Thanks for saving out world." Alternate Starla praised.

"Your welcome." Grand Ruler said. "It was out pleasure."

Fluttershy came up to them with the gem. "Now that you've helped us save our world, you can go back to your dimension... hopefully."

Celestia took the gem in her hands,

"We won't forget you,
Your heroics were true." Rhymey said.

"Remember, you may have to go through multiple dimensions to get back to your own." Lightning added.

"Right." Grand Ruler said. The gem glowed in Celestia's hands and Grand Ruler touched her shoulder and their dragons touched their shoulders and all at once the three of them glowed and vanished in bright flash of white.

Author's Note

Any suggestions for alternate dimensions are welcome.

I think I may do one arc with them in the Yo-Kai dimension.

Never Ending Day?

Their majesties and their dragon reappeared in a clearing with the sun blazing above their heads. "So what alternate universe are we in now?" Celestia asked. Grand Ruler shielded his eyes from the sun, "Wherever we are, the sun should not be this hot." Dusk and Dawn roared in discomfort. "Awww poor boys, they must be burning up." Celestia said.

"Come maybe we can find some shade in a town nearby." Grand Ruler suggested.

Their majesties and their trudged on through the hot sun. Dusk and Dawn were trying to walk through but since they were used to living in forest where there were small periods of sunlight, they weren't used to this at all. "Hang on boys, we'll reach some shelter soon." Grand Ruler reassured.

"Hey, darling, look!" Celestia pointed ahead and saw a familiar town, "New Ponyville."

"Let's go, with caution."

Celestia agreed and they all walked through the sun until they came to the town. Ponies were walking around the city, minding their own business, but when they all spotted Celestia, they screamed and dashed into their houses. "Well... that's... unexpected."

Grand Ruler went to one of the houses and knocked on it, "Um... excuse me."

The door creaked opened and a white mare with a blonds mane and tail, answered the door, nervously. "Y-Y-Yes?"

"Is there something wrong ma'am?" he asked gently. "We don't want to stir up any trouble."

The mare swallowed and quickly looked side to side. "Come in, quickly." Grand Ruler, Celestia and Dusk and Dawn came into the mare's house where she lived alone. Dusk and Dawn were grateful for the shade. "Sorry for the screaming and running." she apologized. "My name is Sunshine."

"Well, Sunshine, can you explain why everyone was afraid of me?" Celestia questioned.

"Well... it's the story of Daybreaker."

"Daybreaker?" Grand Ruler inquired. "Whose that?"

"Well... this is gonna so awkward... but... Daybreaker is... you." Sunshine replied, pointing to Celestia.

"Me?" she exclaimed in shock.

"How?" Grand Ruler asked.

"Let me start from the beginning... there were once two royal sisters; one for the day and one for the night. They both brought harmony to the land by raising the sun and moon. But one day the younger sister grew jealous of the elder sister and the darkness in her heart turned her into a wicked mare of darkness; Nightmare Moon.

The elder sister tried to reason with her, but the younger sister did not listen. There was another alicorn but this one had three horns each other golden with golden wings as well. He was the elder sister's lover. The younger sister tried to take the alicorn for herself, but the elder sister refused to her take him. The alicorn didn't want to see his two member fight so he had no choice but to desert them, hoping that they'll sort things out on their own.

The lost of her lover changed the elder sister, her grief rapidly turned to anger and she snapped thus changing her into a wicked mare; but this one was for the sun, Daybreaker. Her rainbowy coloured mane and tail was set ablaze, her tear filled magenta eyes morphing into a fiery amber glare with vertical shaped pupils and what appeared to be fangs growing."

Celestia and Grand Ruler were shocked and horrified. In this alternate universe, Celestia is an evil mare named Daybreaker and Grand Ruler is no where to be found! "What happened to Nightmare Moon?" Grand Ruler asked.

"Nightmare Moon made an army of bat ponies and flew far away but they do not come out during the day. Daybreaker couldn’t risk Nightmare Moon amassing an army or bringing about eternal night again. So she broke the day and night cycle when the sun was at its peak. As you probably already know, bat ponies are nocturnal so they don’t function well during the daytime. Which ironically is also how she got her name ‘Daybreaker’ for breaking the day.”

"And I'm guessing Nightmare Moon is still out there?" Celestia asked. Sunshine nodded. "And the reason so many ponies were afraid of Celestia?"

"It is mostly the villages that are scared of Daybreaker and alicorns by extension of that. Whenever we see Daybreaker she usually demands something from us saying it is ‘tribute for your protection’ or something along those lines." Sunshine added.

Celestia and Grand Ruler looked at each other with worry.

Knock Knock Knock

"Sunshine, are you home?" a voice called.

Sunshine gasped in horror, "It's Daybreaker, quick hide her!" she frantically ordered, pointing to Celestia. Grand Ruler placed and invisibility spell on his wife just as Daybreaker entered the door. And.. WOW what a mare!

"Ahhh, Sunshine, I was wondering-" Daybreaker stopped talking when she saw Grand Ruler, who waved nervously at her. "Darling... is it really you?"

"Uuuhhhh." Grand Ruler said, not sure how to approach this." he was suddenly picked up by Daybreaker's magic and into her hug. "Oh, darling, I thought I'd never see you again!" she cried.

"Uuhh... good to see you too." he said slowly.

"I missed you so much. Now that I have you in my arms once again, I'm going to take you back to the palace where you shall be mine forever." Daybreaker exclaimed.

"WHAT?!" Their majesties thought.

Suddenly, the invisibility spell wore off of Celestia and she became visible, catching Daybreaker off guard.

".... Awkward." Sunshine replied.

A moment of silence followed, "Umm.. Sunshine, who is this and why does she looked like the old me?"

"Well... your majesty... this is Princess Celestia, hehehe." she replied nervously. "And she happens to be his... wife."

Daybreaker looked at Celesto who smiled nervously at her. "Now... Daybreaker, if you don't mind." Celestia took her husband in her magic and floated him over to her, "i would like my husband back." Daybreaker took Celesto in her magic, "Sorry, other me, but he's coming with me." Daybreaker and Celestia pulled Grand Ruler in either direction saying repeatedly, "Mine, mine, mine,mine."

Grand Ruler groaned, "Why me?"

Finally Dusk and Dawn came in and grabbed Grand Ruler and placed him on their back. "Whose the two headed beast?"

"I'm guessing he's their dragon." Sunshine replied.

"Dragon? But I banished them to the Dark Forests where Nightmare Moon resides." Daybreaker stated, worrying Dusk and Dawn.

"And I think he's saying if you want to fight over him, then I'm taking him away?"

Dusk and Dawn nodded, confirming Sunshine's sentence. Daybreaker growled at the two headed dragon, "Well... if you two want to stand in the way of my one true love, then I'll have to deal with you both."

Her horn glowed, ready to strike Celestia and the Zippleback. Sunshine squeaked and ducked for cover. Grand Ruler gasped and quickly used a teleportation spell on the three of them, teleporting them out of the house and into the air. "GAAAAHHHH!!!"

CRASH!

"Oooohh." They groaned. They landed near the outskirts of New Ponyville. "Ugghh.. are you alright?" Celesto asked.

"I'm alright dear." Celestia replied.

They both hear a sickly roar near them. "Dusk! Dawn!" The Zippleback was collapsed on the ground, panting heavily. "Oh dear!" Grand Ruler said. They went over and felt their dragons scales which were hot, "It's too hot for them, they're burning up!"

"But do we do?" Celestia asked.

"Oh dear,
What do we have here?" a voice said.

Their majesties looked and saw a yellow alicorn male coming up to them and they recognized the rhyming voice anywhere.

"A ill dragon I see,
Please hurry and come with me."

Their majesties nodded and managed to lift their Titan Wing pal and bring him to the yellow alicorn's cottage. The yellow alicorn opened the door and ushered them inside.

"Quickly now,
Lay him down."

Their majesties came in and placed their dragon on the couch. He went into the kitchen and came back out with two large bowls of cold water. He brought it before Dusk and Dawn

"Here drink this brew,
It'll be good for you."

Dusk and Dawn roared faintly and began licking up the water. "Thanks for your help." Grand Ruler said.

"No problem at all,
The name is Rhymey
I'm glad to answer your call
But who are you?
I haven't seen you around here at all."

Their majesties looked at each other nervously. "Well... this might sounds hard to believe but we'll tell you." And so Grand Ruler and Celestia explained themselves to Rhymey and he was nothing short of amazed.

"So you both are from another world
And you been transported here through the power of a potion
Making dimension jumps into motion
The only way you can get home
Is if you roam?"

"Yes, we have to keep going through other dimensions until we find ours." Celestia confirmed.

Rhymey was a little surprised to see another Celestia.

"I amuse you met the breaker of the way,
And she's a little scary so to say."

"Yes indeed. But I couldn't help but ask." Grand Ruler stated. "Where's Fluttershy?"

Rhyemy's face turned sad.

"My sweet Fluttershy,
She's been taken to the side,
I miss the sound of her sweet crys
And the moments together when we fly."

"I don't to upset you even more, but what happened to her?" Celestia inquired.

"Fluttershy and her friends,
When Nightmare Moon fled,
She took them all to the Dark Forest's end,
And with great dread,
That I say
They've gone the evil way."

Grand Ruler and Celestia gasped, "How?"

"Nightmare Moon put their darkness into motion,
When she fed them all and evil potion,
They now serve her in her castle,
Bringing Daybreaker great hassle,
She tried to find a cure for the potion,
But she hasn't found anything she could use to put into motion,
I fear I may never see my sweet again,
Keeping my heart at a sadden strain."

Celestia and Grand Ruler were horrified by Rhymey's story. They looked at each other and nodded "Maybe we could find something to make the antidote to the potion." Celestia offered. Rhymey perked up,

"Are you really true,
I can count on you?"

Their majesties nodded. "We'll make the antiotde and get Fluttershy and her friends back." Grand Ruler said.

"I fear the only way this war will end
Is if the royal sisters make amends."

"We'll find a way to bring them together as well." Celestia added. Rhymey smiled and hugged the two ponies.

"Thank you,
I believe in you."

Their majesties smiled. "So do you know anyone who might know of a cure?"

Rhymey thought for a moment,

"There is someone who may,
But where she is I cannot say,
Black and white her stripes so clearly
She's a zebra, a member of the pony family
She lives in this forest in her own hut
She friendly to anyone good, but evil she is but
And expert at potions she is
Some would even say she's a wiz
Zecora is her name
And she doesn't play a potion making game."

"So Zecora may know how to make the cure. We've gotta find her." Grand Ruler said.

"But be weary,
The forest holds many dangers
Some and deadly and some are eerie."

"Right." Celestia said. That's when Celestia and Grand Ruler's stomach growled, making them realize how hungry they both were. "Hehe, excuse us." Grand Ruler said sheepishly.

Rhymey smiled,

"I'll make some food for you
Before you set out on your journey,
That I know is true."

Rhymey went back into the kitchen and prepared two bowls of oatmeal for their majesties and made some fish for Dusk and Dawn. He gave the four of them their food and they all ate, enjoying every bite of it. When they were done, their majesties got ready to set out on their mission.

"Thanks for your help, Rhymey." Celestia praised.

"Oh think nothing of it,
Now good luck on your quest
Be smart and quick
And you'll beat the rest."

Their majesties nodded but before they could leave, Dusk and Dawn called out to them. "Aww, boys, you two can't come. It's too dangerous for you both." Celestia said. "We don't want you two passing out from the sun like before." Grand Ruler added. Dusk and Dawn roared and thrusted their heads into their rider's stomachs. "Ooh, boys." They both rubbed them for comfort. Dusk and Dawn have always been protective of them and they didn't want to leave them alone in a universe full of danger.

"We'll be fine, we promise." Grand Ruler vowed. Dusk and Dawn nodded and licked their owners, making them chuklced.

"Don't worry,
I'll take good care of them,
While you both go on your journey."

"Thanks Rhymey. Let's go darling." Grand Ruler said.

Celestia nodded and they both left the cottage and headed into the forest for the first step of the big mission.

The Potion Wiz

Author's Note

Any suggestions for future Arcs are welcomed.

The Potion Wiz

Celestia and Grand Ruler walked through New Everfree Forest in search of Zecora, hoping she would have any idea on how to break the evil potion of Fluttershy and her friends and help reunite the royal sisters. The forest looked a little more menacing than before with the black vines wrapped around some of the trees. "So how are we gonna find Zecora?" Celestia asked.

"Rhymey said she lives in a hut in this forest so I guess we just have to look for it." Grand Ruler replied.

"Like that one?" Celestia pointed to a hut with masks around the front of it and small bottles hanging by stings on the branches.

"Yeah, just like that." Grand Ruler and Celestia walked up to the hut and Grand Ruler knocked on the door. The door opened and they saw Zecora... only she was wearing green strings around her front right and back left legs and she had a green bag on her back and a staff attached to it.

"Who knocks on my door at this hour
If it's Daybreaker then I am not a coward."

"Umm... hi, I'm Grand Ruler Celesto and this is my wife Celestia." Celestia waved to her. "We need your help, Zecora."

"How do you know my name?
Is this some sort of game?"

"No, let us explain." Celestia said. Zecora invited them in and their majesties explained to Zecora everything that happened so far.

"Ahhh, so you seek me to see if I know of this brew
To cure the effect for you
I know the ingredients to make sure a potion
But rather
But their locations are hard to gather." She gave their majesties a small note with the ingredients for the antidote.

Ice Irisis, Location: Mount United Equestria in the New Frozen North (2x)

Light Flowers, Location: Temple in the Forbidden Jungle (3x)

A drop of Dark Magic, Location: Unknown

"Okay... so these shouldn't be too hard to find." Grand Ruler said.

"So what should we go for first?" Celestia asked.

"Well, how about we go for the Light Flowers first?"

"Alright."

Zecora handed them another map. And two backpacks filled with everything they would need to help them on the their journey.

"Here's a map to help you find your way
Touch the location and it will zap you away."

“Thanks Zecora.” Celesto opened the map and it showed the three items in their locations. “Ready darling?”

“Yes, my love.” Celestia placed her hand on his shoulder as he pressed the Light Flower in the Forbidden Jungle and in a flash the two of the disappeared

Forbidden Forest and Temple

Their majesties reappeared in the middle of the Forbidden Forest. The heat was mild and the mosquitoes buzzed loudly as monkey's howled through the treetops and growls of the wild cats were heard echoing through. "Alright... where do we go now?" Celestia asked. Grand Ruler took out and unrolled the map again and this time it showed a path leading from where they were to the temple which was marked with a big, red, X.

"I guess we go this way, come on." Grand Ruler lead on with Celestia followed. Unaware that there was a pair of eyes watching them. "So these two are after the Light Flower as well. Well they won't stand in my way." he turned to his four pets, "You know what to do." The pets nodded and stalked off into the jungle.

Meanwhile, their majesties were walking through the jungle, following the path. "Okay, the temple should be a few more yards up ahead." Celesto stated.

"Alright darling."

*GROWL*

Their majesties froze when they heard a growl. "What was that?" Celestia said.

"Probably nothing, let's keep going." Grand Ruler replied quickly. They walked a little quicker than before but they heard the growl again and froze.

"Darling, please tell me that was your stomach." Grand Ruler whimpered.

"Nope."

That's when five cats appeared around them; A tiger, leopard, jaguar and a caracal and a small little kitten. Their majesties stood back to back with each other as they head a menacing laughter. That's when a creature appeared It looked like a normal four-legged pony but it had the wings and front claws of an eagle and the back of a pony. It was white with black tipped wings and a eye patch over his left eye, showing some part of the scar.

"Who are you?" Grand Ruler asked.

"The names, Moonshine, ponies and I'm here to retreive the Light Flower." he said. "And you two are not standing in my way, so give me the map this instant." Grand Ruler clutched the map to his chest, "Never!"

"Very well then... attack them my pets!" The cats growled and lunged towards their majesties but at the last second, their majesties teleported away, making the cats crash into each other. They reappeared a few feet away and they ran away. "After them!" The cats untangled themselves and rushed after the ponies.

Their majesties swerved in and out of the trees as the cats chased after them. Celestia suddenly tripped on a root and fell to the ground, "OW!"

"Gasp, Celestia!" Grand Ruler helped her to her feet and she felt a sharp pain in her right ankle. "I think I sprained my ankle." she groaned. They could her the cats closing in, "Come on, hurry." Grand Ruler supported Celestia as the two of them hurried along. They suddenly came to a large chasm in their path, "Come on, darling. Fly." Grand Ruler and Celestia spread their wings and flew over the chasm as the cats stopped at the edge and watched as their majesties flew to the other side of the chasm. They landed on the other side and gave a sigh of relief.

"That was close." Celestia said. She turned around and gasped, "Darling."

"Huh?" Grand Ruler turned and saw a large temple before them. Celesto held up the map and the big, red X was glowing. "Looks like this is the temple." he said.

He helped his wife to her feet and supported her as they both walked towards the temple. There were torches lit on the sides of the temple. The smell of decay and danger hit their majesties as they walked down the hallway of the dimly lit temple. Spiders scurried across the floor and snakes slithered across the walls. "Creepy." Celestia said.

"Indeed." Suddenly, a plank sank underneath Grand Ruler's boot, "GET DOWN!" he cried as axes came and almost hit their heads. "Yikes." Celestia whimpered.

"RUN!" Their majesties flew down the hallway as fast they could, miraculously dodging the obstacles in their way; arrows, crocodiles and spikes. Finally, they made it to a chamber as the door shut behind them. "Phew." Grand Ruler sighed.

Their majesties turned and found themselves in a large room with a podium at the end of it and floating above that podium was "The Light Flower." Celestia gasped. "Let's go."

"Wait!" Grand Ruler halted his wife and looked carefully at the floor. It looked like a checkerboard except it's colors was brown and their were pictures of griffon, hippogriff and an alicorn on them. He looked at one of the walls and saw multiple holes. He pushed a pebble onto one of the blocks. It sank and arrows shot out of the holes and struck the other wall!

"Yikes." Celestia whimpered. "Better not step on the wrong pictures."

They both looked at all the blocks. "There must be a pattern here; What do these three creatures have in common?" Grand Ruler asked.

"Well... the griffon and hippogriff are part eagle but an alicorn isn't?" Celestia questioned. "Let's give it a try." She carefully stepped on one of the alicorn blocks... it didn't sank meaning it was the right one. "Phew." they both sighed. They both carefully made their way to the podium, only stepping on the alicorn blocks. Finally, they made it to the other side and approached the podium.

"So... should we just take it?" Celestia asked.

"I think so." Grand Ruler gently grabbed the flower and placed it in a small container, so it wouldn't become damaged. "One item down only two more to go." Just then, the two of them heard a clicking sound and saw the little stand where the flower was on the podium sink down. "That can't be good." Celestia said and she was right.

Rocks started falling from the ceiling and the whole place started shaking. "It's caving in!"

"Let's get out of here!" Grand Ruler cried. The two of them spread their wings and quickly flew out through the hole in the top of the temple. Just then, a large burst of wind, blasted the two, sending them both into a tail spin and they crashed into the jungle.

"Ugh.... Celestia? Are you okay?" Grand Ruler asked, but he didn't hear a reply. "Celesta?"

Now he was getting worried, "Celestia? Where are you?"

"Celesto! Help!"

"Celestia!" Grand Ruler rushed through the jungle in the direction of the plea. He found himself in a clearing where he saw Moonshine and his cats. Moonshine was holding Celestia with an arm around her neck. "Darling, help!" she cried.

Moonshine laughed, "Your husband must give me the flower, if he wants to save you." he bargained.

Grand Ruler growled. He couldn't give the flower to him, but he didn't want to risk losing his wife again. "Darling, don't give it to him!" Celestia cried, earning her more pressure on her neck. "Agh!"

"Be quiet, pony. Give me the flower or else your wife gets it." Moonshine growled. Grand Ruler didn't know what to do.

Suddenly, a blast came and sent the tiger and cheetah flying. "What the...!" Moonshine cried. A familiar dragon flew onto the scene. "Dusk! Dawn!" Grand Ruler cried. The two headed dragon flew towards Moonshine. The caracal and leopard lunged at the dragon but he simply bashed them with his heads, sending them crashing to the ground. The two headed dragon landed in front of Moonshine and growled at him. The hippogriff, frightened by the dragon, just let Celestia go and she limped over to her husband.

Moonshine and his cats ran away into the jungle.

"Celestia, are you alright?" Grand Ruler asked as he hugged his wife, relived that he was alright. "I'm alright darling." she winced. "But I hurt my wing when I crashed." Grand Ruler could see it for himself. Her wing had a large bruise on it and it looked to be swollen a little. "Looks like a bad sprain." he said.

He dug into his backpack and took out a bandage. He wrapped up the wing, "You shouldn't use it for a few days, darling."

"Alright dear." Dusk and Dawn licked their riders. "And you two, how'd you get here?" Grand Ruler asked playfully. The two headed dragon nuzzled the two of them. "Hehe, glad you both are feeling better." Celestia said. "Now onto item number 2."

"Ice Iris's." Grand Ruler took out the map and touched the Frozen North and they four of them disappeared in a bright flash.
