Previous Chapter

============= Some Time After The Defeat Of Cozy Glow ================

Celestia travels along with Luna and Twilight to the Dragon lands on the royal blimp. Celestia with a hoof to her temple as she gently rubs over all that has happened in the past years, how far every creature has come, including the war. It has taken many years but finally, Fears war is in the past and now all of Equestria can look to the future. Although the mirror was broken after it closed so hopefully Fear and the devious six are stuck inside where they can't hurt any creature again. There is something that Celestia is confused about that she doesn't understand. When Fear was dying he whispered those words in her ear, but she didn't understand what he meant. She closes her eyes as she remembers that night as he laying there breathing hard holding her by the neck as he whispered the words, " I. Never. Miss. ". He chuckles lightly in her ear as he finally lay dead in her hooves.

" Sister? Are you listening to me? ". Celestia shakes her head waking up from that memory as Luna asks that question to her. Celestia looks at her and says, " I'm sorry sister, forgive me I was deep in thought. What did you say? ". Luna nods as she points with her hoof toward the front of the ship as they see their destination getting closer. For years the Madness children who have made amends have tried to find their families, but sadly to no avail. So Emma being their new leader has brought them together and built a new home for them to live and be in peace with all of Equestria. They see before them a City built by their hands and powers and working together helping each other and asking for help when needed, the residents now call their home, The Capital.

Luna and Celestia join Twilight at the front of the ship as they are nearing The Capital. Twilight then says, " My they really have done amazing work. I just hope Emma calling us is good news and not bad. ". Celestia's wing goes onto twilight to relax her. But before she can respond the ship is greeted by winged madness children with spears and some with arrows as three of them land to check why this ship is entering The Capital's air space. Once they are cleared for landing the ship follows the flying madness children to the airstrip, as the ship lands they see So many madness children working in harmony including ponies visiting and seeing friends.

The princesses step off the ship as they make their way to the spire of The Capital where Emma calls home. They enter her office and Emma turns to see them she smiles and bows to them and says, " Thank you three for taking time out of your busy schedule to come and see me. ". Celestia smiles as do Luna and Twilight as they bow their heads to her. Celestia looks at Emma and asks, " In your letter, you sounded worried about something Emma what happened? ". Emma sighs as she rubs her eyes and motions her guards to leave the room so she and the princesses are alone.

She goes to her desk and opens a locked drawer and pulls out a book that is busted and old looking but even though it's worn out by battles, fires, and other things Twilight and Celestia recognize it as the book connected to her friends in Canterlot high. Twilight says, " Where did you find that? I thought it was in my castle? Or what was left. ". Emma then puts it on her desk as she looks at them and answers, " One of my brothers found it while building your home back he found it in the dirt sticking out a bit. He brought it to me and I thought it should come back to its owner. ".

Twilight picks it up with her horn and looks through it and although the pages are torn in places and the writing is smudged she smiles and thanks, Emma. suddenly the book starts to vibrate and glow, The princesses and Emma look at it though Emma doesn't know about the book's powers. Twilight then open's it and sees someone is trying to contact her but it's a picture and Twilight turns pale as she sees what's being drawn.

Celestia then goes to her and asks. " What is it Twilight? ". She looks at the page and her eyes shake in horror as the image is drawn fully and they see Reggi with a grin and a small wave. The princesses look at each other and Emma confused asks, "what's wrong? ". Celestia looks at her and answers, " We need to get to that other world now. ". Emma understands and nods as they try and come up with a way to fix the mirror and portal.

=================== hours after the death of Fear ================

The portal opens as the Devious six tumble out and groan as the statue's wall cracks. They get up as they notice they look different in some aspects. they don't have their scales, wings, or yack horns. They do have their regular horns as they check. Reggie then looks around and grins as the others notice they are in the new world as they stand before Canterlot high. Carrie looks around and asks, " Where is father? ". They look around and then with a blast of air from behind they see a large shadow over them. Draco then says, " My my my father, you look ghastly different in this world. ". Fear breathing hard as they watch him. Crystal then asks, " What is matter father? ".

Fear then says in a raspy voice, " I knew I wouldn't make it here alive, so I split my soul in two. Regrettably doing so I used up so much of my power, and left me without a body of my own. ". He groans and breaths hard. Reggi steps up to him and asks, " What do we do now father? ". With a grin of his shadow, he responds with a chuckle, " We take this world and show them what true madness is. ". With that, they all chuckle and laugh as a dark nightmare is reborn in a new world.

The End. For now.
