Sunset Shimmer and Twilight Sparkle go to Ponyville

Twilight Sparkle and Sunset Shimmer were now adult mares. Both now had their towers. Twilight Sparkle was reading a book. Until she heard Spike belch a parchment. Twilight Sparkle picked up the parchment and read what was written, dear Twilight, we need you and Sunset Shimmer in the throne room now, signed Princess Celestia.

Twilight Sparkle was racing fast into the throne room. Sunset Shimmer was trying to catch up with her, “Twilight, don’t run too fast”

Twilight Sparkle looked back as she continued to run, “I can’t, Sunset. The princesses need us in the throne room”

“Is that a reason to run?” asked Sunset Shimmer.

“Yeah, because maybe they want to talk to us urgently. They’ll be mad at us if we don’t get there in time”, replied Twilight Sparkle in a panic.

“Twilight, they would never get mad at us. Try to calm down”, said Sunset Shimmer, still running.

Twilight Sparkle stopped running for breath to try to calm down, “Yeah. You’re right, Sunset, it’s just that I don’t want to disappoint them, especially Princess Celestia”

“Don’t worry, Twilight,” smiled Sunset Shimmer. “I’m sure what they’re going to say isn’t going to be anything to do with us doing an important job”

“You go to Ponyville”, said Celestia. Luna was at her side.

Twilight Sparkle and Sunset Shimmer had their mouths open. Would Celestia banish them away from Canterlot? “Are you banished us from Canterlot?” asked Twilight Sparkle in Panic.

Celestia laughed, “No, Twilight. It’s just for you and Sunset to get the preparations for the Summer Sun Celebration”

Twilight Sparkle jumped for joy. She loves this festival. As Sunset Shimmer let out a sigh of irritation. She didn’t like this festival. Luna and Celestia looked at the Sunset Shimmer. Celestia looked confused, she didn’t understand why the Sunset Shimmer didn’t like the Summer Sun Celebration. While Luna smiled at the Sunset Shimmer, she didn’t like the summer celebration either. Ever since her subjects were awake during the damn day Celestia brought in while her night was averted. Well, except for Sunset Shimmer, who stayed up all night. She knew the yellow unicorn loved her night. Wait, why did she think that?

“I’ll give you a list of what you and Sunset should look at”, said Celestia, handing Twilight Sparkle a rolled parchment. Twilight Sparkle took the scroll with its magic.

“I’m going to prepare the carriage for Twilight”, said Celestia.

“And I go to Sunset”, said Luna.

The carriage of Twilight Sparkle and Sunset Shimmer were quite different. While Twilight’s chariot was golden and solar guards led the chariot. Sunset Shimmer’s was purple in color with lunar guards leading the chariot.

Twilight Sparkle asked Spike as she carried the parchment with his magic, “Spike, could you help us check the list on Ponyville?”

Spike took the parchment, “Sure, Twilight. After all, I’m your number one assistant”

As the two carriages descended, Sunset Shimmer got out of the carriage and Twilight Sparkle got out of the carriage and thanked the Solar Guards.

Sunset Shimmer and Twilight Sparkle went to Spike, “what’s the first thing we should do?”

Spike opened the parchment and read what was written, “Food: Sweet Apple Acres”

Twilight Sparkle, Spike and Sunset Shimmer were walking until a pink pony jumped scared before running away. They looked back confused, “wow. That really was something”

Sunset Shimmer, Spike and Twilight Sparkle arrived on the farm and heard hoofbeats. They looked to the left and saw an orange terrestrial pony running up to an apple tree and kicking. The apples fell in the baskets they had near the trees. Twilight Sparkle, Sunset Shimmer and Spike went to the mare, “Good afternoon, my name is Twilight Sparkle and the pony by my side is Sunset Shimmer”

The mare took a Twilight Sparkle and Sunset Shimmer hull as she greeted, “As Sunset and Twilight pleasure, it’s a pleasure to meet your people.I’m Applejack, and here at Sweet Apple Acres, we like to make new friends”

Twilight Sparkle and Sunset Shimmer seemed overwhelmed by Applejack’s strength to swing the two hooves.

Applejack stopped shaking both hooves and asked, “So, what can I do, ladies?”

But the hooves of Twilight Sparkle and Sunset Shimmer kept swinging up and down. Spike touched her hooves to stop them from moving. That done, he closed his eyes as he held the laughter.

“We are here to oversee preparations for the summer sun celebration. Are you responsible for the food?” said Twilight Sparkle.

“You bet I am. Want to prove something?” said Applejack.

“As long as it doesn’t take too long ...” said Twilight Sparkle, hoping it wouldn’t be delayed.

Applejack touched a triangle, before shouting, “buoy time, Everypony!”

Sunset Shimmer, Spike and Twilight Sparkle looked back, only to end up being pushed by a multitude of running earth ponies. They ended up taking the three of them to an outdoor table under a gazebo.

“Now, let me introduce you to the whole apple family”, said Applejack.

“Thank you, but we’re really in a hurry ...” tried to get out Twilight Sparkle, just to appear a food at her side.

Then, Applejack started to introduce her family, “These are Apple Fritter, Apple Bucking, Fried Gala, Red Delicious, Golden Delicious, Carmen Apple, Apple Stumer, Apple Tarapple, Apple Brioche, Apple Cinnamon Cris ...”

Applejack took a breath before Continue, “Big Mactoshi, Apple bloom and ...”

Applejack picked up two green apples and put one in the mouth of Sunset Shimmer and another in the mouth of Twilight Sparkle before continuing, “Granny Smith. Wake up. We have a visit”

There was an old pony in a rocking chair asleep, but she woke up soon, “W-what? Buoy time? I am here. I’m coming”

“Now I’d say you’re part of The family”, said Applejack.

Sunset Shimmer and Twilight Sparkle spat the apple that was in their mouths before they laughed, “alright. Well, I see the food situation is over-controlling, so we’re going“

“Aren’t you staying for lunch?” asked Apple Bloom with doggy eyes.

“Sorry, but we still have a lot of things to do”, replied Twilight Sparkle.

In response, all the ponies were saddened by the response. Sunset Shimmer and Twilight Sparkle thought for a moment before replying.

“Okay”, said Twilight Sparkle.

“We stayed for lunch”, said Sunset Shimmer.

In response, all the earth ponies shouted for joy.

Twilight Sparkle and Sunset Shimmer were walking slowly because they ate too much.

“Urgh. I ate a lot of pie“, said Twilight Sparkle.

“Me too”, replied Sunset Shimmer.

Spike began to look up at the sky as he spoke, “Hm, where’s the rainbow-colored pony named Rainbow Dash that should look after the clouds?”

Sunset Shimmer and Twilight Sparkle stared at the sky, only to see a lot of clouds in the sky, “well, then it looks like she’s not doing a good job”, said Twilight Sparkle.

Suddenly, they were shoved into a mud by Rainbow Dash. Rainbow Dash got up and saw the two muddy unicorns, “hehe. Sorry”

“Hehe. Let me help you“, said Rainbow Dash, going to get a cloud and put down in Sunset Shimmer and Twilight Sparkle.

Rainbow Dash went up the cloud and started jumping on it to get water out. After a few seconds, she stopped, and went to see the result. Sunset Shimmer and Twilight Sparkle had wet mane.

“Hehe, ops I exaggerated. How about it here?“ said Rainbow Dash, before forming a rainbow-colored swirl around Twilight Sparkle and Sunset Shimmer.

“It’s my invention: Dryer Rainbow Dash!” said Rainbow Dash.

“No, you don’t have to thank me. You deserve it“, said Rainbow Dash as she landed on the ground and stared at Sunset Shimmer and Twilight Sparkle.

Twilight Sparkle stared at Rainbow Dash with an unhappy expression. While Sunset Shimmer had a neutral expression. Hers mane was all messed up and rolled up. Rainbow Dash couldn’t bear to see this and began to laugh and fall to the ground. Spike looked at the two unicorns before he began to laugh and fall to the ground as well.

“Let me guess. You’re Rainbow Dash“, said Twilight Sparkle, her expression ungraceful as she looked at Rainbow Dash and Spike on the floor laughing.

Rainbow Dash heard and made a pose before speaking, “what? Do you know me?” with that said, Rainbow Dash flew over to Sunset Shimmer and Twilight Sparkle.

“Have you heard of me?” asked Rainbow Dash Twilight Sparkle.

“What I know is that You should keep the sky cloudless”, replied Twilight Sparkle. Rainbow Dash seemed surprised by the response she just received.

“I’m Twilight Sparkle and my friend is called Sunset Shimmer. And the princesses sent us to check the weather“, said Twilight Sparkle looking at Rainbow Dash, who was in a cloud now.

“Alright, alright. It’s going to be easy. I’ll do it right there. I’ll do it as soon as I finish training“, said Rainbow Dash.

Sunset Shimmer was confused, “Train for what?”

“The Wonderbolts! They will perform at the celebration tomorrow and I will show them my style“, replied Rainbow Dash.

“The Wonderbolts?” asked Sunset Shimmer.

“Yes”, replied Rainbow Dash.

“The most skillful and talented pegasus in all Equestria?” asked Twilight Sparkle.

“Yeah. These ones“, replied Rainbow Dash.

“C’mon. They would never accept a Pegasus who can’t leave the sky clean for a miserable day“, said Twilight Sparkle, turning her head back.

Rainbow Dash looked at Twilight Sparkle and Sunset Shimmer, “hey. I can clear the sky in ten seconds flat”

“Prove to me”, said Twilight Sparkle with a smile of defiance.

Rainbow Dash then left the cloud that was and began to clear the sky with the hind hulls. And the time was exactly ten seconds. Twilight Sparkle, Sunset Shimmer and Spike were overwhelmed by it.

“What’s up? What I said? Ten seconds flat. I’ve never seen you in Ponyville“, said Rainbow Dash landing on a bridge.

Sunset Shimmer and Twilight Sparkle were still full of surprises.

“Haha. You needed to see your face. Hehe, you guys are cool, Sunset Shimmer and Twilight Sparkle. I want to see you again“, said Rainbow Dash with a grin before she flew away.

Spike looked at Sunset Shimmer and Twilight Sparkle. “Wow. She's awesome”

Spike began to play with The mane of Twilight Sparkle, before ending up laughing. Sunset Shimmer and Twilight Sparkle continued on their way to the prefecture, with nothing contented faces. Spike noticed and followed them.

“Hey, Wait! It’s even nice after we get used to it!“ said Spike, trying to cheer Sunset Shimmer and Twilight Sparkle.

“It’s beautiful”, said Spike.

“Yes, the decor is great”, agreed Twilight Sparkle.

“Not The decor, her“, said Spike, pointing to a white unicorn with horsehair and purple tail, with a Cutie Mark of three blue diamonds.

“No. No, no. Oh heavens, no“, said Rarity said as she picked the tape.

“How are my scales? Are they combed?“ asked Spike to Twilight Sparkle.

In response, Twilight Sparkle just rolled her eyes before approaching Rarity, “hello, good afternoon,” gretted Twilight Sparkle.

“Just a moment, please. I’m in a moment of inspiration“, said Rarity.

“Yes. Brilliant are always fashionable, aren’t they? You are very talented Rarity“, said Rarity after having done and tied a red bow.

“Ready. What can I do for you?“ asked Rarity, before screaming in alarm.

“For the stars, darlings. What happened to your hairstyles?“ asked Rarity, looking at the unicorns of messy mane.

“Oh, did you mean with our mane?” asked Sunset Shimmer, looking at her mane.

“Well, it’s a long story. We’re just here to check out the decor and then we’re off“, said Twilight Sparkle.

“Go away? What about your hair, dear?“ asked Rarity, before beginning to push Sunset Shimmer and Twilight Sparkle.

“Wait? Where are we going? Help!“ said Twilight Sparkle in surprise.

“No. No. No. Very green. Very yellow. Very cute. Not cuddly enough. Very old fashioned. Very bright. Now my dear ones, you’re going to tell me where you came from“, said Rarity.

“We ... Urgh ... We came ... It’s ... From ... Canterlot ... To ...” said Twilight Sparkle as Rarity tightened her clothes and The Sunset Shimmer’s clothes.

Rarity was surprised and released her clothes, “Canterlot ?! Oh, I’m so jealous. The glamor, the sophistication. Dear, I always dreamed of living there. I can’t wait to tell me everything. We’ll be great friends, me, you and Sunset Shimmer”

A moment of silence, until ...

“Emeralds? Where was my head? Let me get some rubies for you“, said Rarity as she went out to get rubies.

“Quick. Before she makes us dye another color“, said Twilight Sparkle as she ran away from the store with Sunset Shimmer.

“Isn’t she really wonderful?” asked Spike, still looking passionate.

“Focus Spike, focus. What’s next on the list?“ said Twilight Sparkle to Spike.

Spike looked at the list, “Music. Is the last”

Suddenly, Sunset Shimmer, Spike, and Twilight Sparkle heard a bird song, and decided to see where it was coming from. They came out of a bush to see a yellow-colored mare with pink mane and baby mane.

“Spike, stay here. We’re back“ told Twilight Sparkle to Spike. Spike nodded.

“Hello!” exclameid Twilight Sparkle as she approached the yellow mare.

Fluttershy screamed in alarm and looked down to see two unicorn mares, “Oh no. I’m so sorry. I didn’t want to scare your birds. We’re just here to check out the song and she’s so beautiful“, said Twilight Sparkle.

There was a silence between the three mares. Twilight Sparkle gave a nervous smile as she looked left and right.

“My name is Twilight Sparkle, and this is Sunset Shimmer. What’s your name?“ Introduced Twilight Sparkle with a smile.

“Oh. My name is fluttershy ...” said Fluttershy in a low voice.

“Sorry, what did you say?” asked Twilight Sparkle.

“Oh. My name is fluttershy ... “ said Fluttershy in an even lower voice.

“We don’t understand yet”, said Sunset Shimmer.

Fluttershy just hid her face in the mane in response. And again, silence, “well, it looks like your birds have returned. So we think everything’s in order. Keep up the good work“, said Twilight Sparkle with a smile.

“Alright ...” said Twilight Sparkle, as she and Sunset Shimmer stepped away from Fluttershy.

“Well, that was easy”, told Twilight Sparkle to Spike, as he stepped out of the bushes.

Fluttershy looked at Spike in surprise, before shouting, “a baby dragon!”

Fluttershy went to Spike, not noticing that she pushed Sunset Shimmer and Twilight Sparkle away.

“I had never seen a baby dragon before. He’s so cute“, said Fluttershy with a smile.

“Well, well, well”, said Spike as he looked at Sunset Shimmer and Twilight Sparkle stunned before returning to Fluttershy.

“Oh my Celestia, he speaks. I didn’t know that dragons spoke. This is so incredibly fantastic that I don’t even know what to say“, said Flurtteshy, still smiling.

Suddenly, a pink magic grabbed Spike and placed it on the back of Twilight Sparkle, “so, we better get going”

“Wait, wait. What’s your name?“ said Fluttershy said as she followed Sunset Shimmer, Twilight Sparkle and Spike.

“I’m Spike”, replied Spike.

“Hi, Spike. My name is Fluttershy. Wow, a talking dragon. And what do the dragons talk about?“ said Fluttershy, still walking.

“What do you want to know?” asked Spike.

“Absolutely all”, said Fluttershy.

In response, Twilight Sparkle groaned in frustration, while Sunset Shimmer didn’t seem to care.

“So it all started with a little purple and green egg ...” began Spike to tell his story.

“... And that’s the story of my whole life,” Spike finished to tell his story. “I mean, to this day. Do you want to hear it today?”

“Oh, I do. Please“, said Fluttershy.

“Look, I’m sorry. But as we arrived so fast, this is where we will stay for our stay in Ponyville. And the little dragon baby needs to sleep“, said Twilight Sparkle interrupting Spike’s conversation with Fluttershy.

“Hey, I don’t need ...” tried to say Spike, but Twilight Sparkle pulled him off her back and set him down.

“Ah, look. He’s so tiny. He barely stands“, said Twilight Sparkle, looking at Spike with a pout.

Fluttershy caught Spike in her lap, “poor thing. You need to put him in bed”

Fluttershy tried to get inside the house, but Sunset Shimmer and Twilight Sparkle prevented.

“Yes, Yes. I’ll take care of it. Well, good night“, said Twilight Sparkle, before closing the door in front of Fluttershy.

“Now where’s the light?” asked Sunset Shimmer, looking sideways to find the switch.

But the lights went on by themselves. Sunset Shimmer, Twilight Sparkle and Spike were startled to hear ponies shout “surprise!” Twilight Sparkle let out a sigh.

“Surprise! Hi, I’m Pinkie Pie. And organize this party just for you two. Were you surprised? Are you? Are you?“ said Pinkie Pie.

“Very surprised”, said Sunset Shimmer, smiling.

“Libraries should be quiet”, said Twilight Sparkle.

“Oh what a silly thing. What kind of party would it be if it were silent? Like, damn. Bo-ring “, say Pinkie Pie.

Twilight Sparkle started walking toward the food table, while Pinkie Pie talked nonstop, “you know, I remember you two from early today, remember? Like, I’ve never seen you before, and since I’ve never seen you before, it’s because you’re new because I know everyone in Ponyville”

When Pinkie Pie started talking again, Twilight Sparkle moaned in frustration, “and if you two are new, it means you don’t know anypony yet”

Twilight Sparkle and Pinkie Pie finally arrived at the table. Twilight picked up a bottle to put in the punch glass. And Pinkie Pie kept talking while Twilight Sparkle drank, “and if you two don’t know anypony yet, you two shouldn’t have any friends. And if you don’t have friends, you must be alone. And it made me so sad. Then I had an idea. Then, I did a super-hyper-mega-party and invited everypony in Ponyville. See? Now you two have lots, lots and lots of friends”

Twilight Sparkle suddenly felt something in her mouth, a very hot thing, “are you okay, Sugarcube?” asked Applejack to Twilight Sparkle.

But Twilight Sparkle didn’t have time to respond. she ran away. Sunset Shimmer saw Twilight Sparkle coming up the stairs and follow her.

“Oh. She’s so happy, That she’s crying“, said Pinkie Pie with a smile.

Spike took the bottle that Twilight used and read what it said, “pepper sauce”

Pinkie Pie put pepper sauce into a cupcake before putting it in the mouth. Fluttershy, Rainbow Dash, Applejack and Rarity were worried.

Pinkie Pie looked at her friends “What? Is so good”

Pinkie Pie’s friends were relieved.

While upstairs, Twilight Sparkle drank a large bottle of milk that she made appear with her magic. When she finished drinking, Twilight Sparkle let out a sigh of relief, “what a burning thing!”

“Has it improved, Twilight?” asked Sunset Shimmer with a hull on the back of Twilight Sparkle.

“Yes. But I still feel the tongue a bit burned“, replied Twilight Sparkle, now looking at Sunset Shimmer.

Unexpected

Meanwhile, at Canterlot Castle, Luna was in her room preparing for the Summer Sun Celebration. She didn’t know why, but a voice told her that the day of Celestia that was always admired and her night was avoided. Why should her subjects avoid her night? Her night was as beautiful as the day Celestia brought. She had to find a way to get rid of Celestia. But how? Wait. Why was she having those thoughts? What was wrong with her? Suddenly, she looked in the mirror and saw Nightmare Moon, “no! No!!”

“I returned, Luna,” said Nightmare Moon with a smile. “Ready for the eternal night?”

“No! Leave me alone!“ exclaimed Luna.

“You know deep down you feel lonely. And wants to be the center of attention. Why resist it?“ said Nightmare Moon.

Luna seemed to agree. Wait. Why should she agree? She already had Sunset Shimmer. She didn’t need other ponies to love her night, “no! I will not listen to you! You’re manipulating me!”

Nightmare Moon smiled, “I’m not manipulating you. I’m just telling you the truth. You were always lonely and Celestia was never there for you”

“It’s a lie!” cried Luna.

“You can deny it all you want. It will not change anything. You can choose to be alone forever or I can help you. It’s your choice”, said Nightmare Moon.

Luna thought, “So? What do you say, Luna?“ asked Nightmare Moon with a smile.

Celestia looked at herself in the mirror. For some reason, a voice told Celestia that she was the ruler of Equestria, and she could do whatever she wanted. Even destroy everypony who stands in your way. And it was correct. She was the ruler and ... No! Why was she having those thoughts? And why was she agreeing? What happened to her? Suddenly she felt warmth in the room. How was she feeling hot? She looked at her reflection and saw that her reflection changed, “I returned ~”

“No! You’re not real!“ exclaimed Celestia, startled.

“I’m more real than you realize. Why don’t you do what you want? You are the ruler of Equestria, after all”, said Daybreaker.

“I’ll never be a tyrant”, said Celestia.

“You will not become a tyrant. It will only do what you always wanted to do, but you never had the courage. I can help you with that“, said Daybreaker.

“You’re talking about it to take control of my body!” exclaimed Celestia.

“I’m sorry, but that’s the only way I can help you,” said Daybreaker. “Let me take control, and I will do the work for you”

“Twilight! Sunset! Come on! It’s almost time for sunrise!“ exclaimed Spike in the bedroom door where Twilight Sparkle and Sunset Shimmer stared at the moon. Sunset Shimmer and Twilight Sparkle, along with Spike, went to the city hall. They couldn’t help but feel excited to see their mentors.

Daybreaker and Nightmare Moon looked at the multitude of ponies. But there were two ponies that caught they eyes. Twilight Sparkle and Sunset Shimmer.

“I see they’re here to see their princesses”, said Nightmare Moon, her eyes glazed over in Sunset Shimmer.

“It’s a pity that now they will have to get used to us like that”, said Daybreaker.

“When I open the curtains, I will. If any guard comes to me, you come”, said Nightmare Moon.

“Okay, I’ll wait”, said Daybreaker.

The curtains opened, and Nightmare Moon was walking. She looked at the crowd with a smile, “Oh, my lovely subjects, I see you’re surprised to see me, right?”

“Who are you, monster?” asked Rainbow Dash before wanted to fly to Nightmare Moon. But was stopped by Applejack, who held the Rainbow Dash’s tail with her mouth.

Nightmare Moon laughed, “What? Don’t you recognize me? "

“Oh, oh, more divination games!” exclaimed Pinkie Pie happily. “Witch of darkness. How about evil queen? No, Dark Princess ...“ Pinkie Pie tried to guess the name, but it was cut short by Applejack who put a cupcake in Pinkie Pie’s mouth.

Nightmare Moon went to Flurtteshy, “Don’t you ponies recognize your princess?” Fluttershy flinched in fear.

Nightmare Moon went to Rarity and touched Rarity’s chin with her mane, “Don’t you know who I am?”

“L-Luna?” replied Sunset Shimmer in fear.

Nightmare Moon looked at Sunset Shimmer and smiled.
“Well, well, well. At least somepony here recognizes me. But I’m afraid Luna is not my name anymore, call me Nightmare Moon.”

Sunset Shimmer stepped back. If Luna was in that shape now, it couldn’t mean a good thing. Nightmare Moon laughed at the reaction of Sunset Shimmer, “Remember this day, ponies. Because it was the last one. From today, the night will last forever!“ Nightmare Moon began to laugh as her mane swirled as lightning spurted. Sunset Shimmer could only look startled at her mentor who was now known as Nightmare Moon.

“Arrest her, she knows where Princess Celestia is!” exclaimed the prefect Mare. Three guards headed toward Nightmare Moon. But, Daybreaker appeared and used a hypnosis spell on them.

The guards stopped what they were doing. They were standing still, waiting for Daybreaker’s orders. Twilight Sparkle was frightened by what she saw. Was that Celestia? “Princess Celestia?!”

Daybreaker looked at Twilight Sparkle, “I’m not Celestia anymore. I am Daybreaker!”

Twilight Sparkle took a few steps back, she was struggling to hold back her tears. She left town hall. Sunset Shimmer followed Twilight Sparkle, “Twilight, Wait!”

Twilight Sparkle was in bed crying. Sunset Shimmer was doing everything to console Twilight Sparkle, but it wasn’t working, “why? Why would they do that? Is it something we did?”

“Twilight, calm down. We’re going to save them. Don’t worry“, reassured Sunset Shimmer.

“They will want to destroy us!” exclaimed Twilight Sparkle before crying again.

“They would never do that. I know deep down they still care about us,“ said Sunset Shimmer. “Is there any book that talks about some artifact to defend Equestria from enemies?”

“I don’t know. Let’s search downstairs“, replied Twilight Sparkle.

Nightmare Moon and Daybreaker were at the Castle of the Two Sisters talking about what their plans would be like, “So, what’s our plan?”

“I will bring the everlasting night and you can do whatever you want. As long as you don’t hurt none of our subjects“, replied Nightmare Moon.

“OK. But what if Twilight and Sunset try to stop us?“ said Daybreaker.

“So, we stopped them. And then, we convinced them to join in our side,“ replied Nightmare Moon. “When they arrive here at the castle, we will offer them to join us”

Daybreaker smiled. But her smile soon fell, “what if they don’t accept it? What if they are accompanied?”

“Simple. We keep trying until they accept. I know someday, they will agree to go to our side. And if they’re accompanied, we’ll arrest them, except Twilight Sparkle and Sunset Shimmer“, explained Nightmare Moon.

Daybreaker smiled. It seemed like a good plan.

“I found something!” exclaimed Twilight Sparkle.

Sunset Shimmer took her eyes from the book she held with her magic and went to Twilight Sparkle, who was now opening the book. She began to read, “There are five elements of harmony: kindness, laughter, generosity, honesty and loyalty. The sixth is a complete mystery. The last time the elements were seen was in the castle of the two sisters, located in Everfree Florest”

Sunset Shimmer hit a hull on the forehead, “Great. How are we going to find this forest?”

Twilight Sparkle took her eyes off the books, “simple. If we saw a place with several trees, it can only mean that it is the Everfree Florest”

It wasn’t long before Twilight Sparkle and Sunset Shimmer found the forest. It was out of Ponyville.

“Ready?”

“Ready”

Twilight Sparkle and Sunset Shimmer were about to enter when they heard familiar voices behind them.

“Twilight? Sunset Where are you going?“ asked Rainbow Dash.

“Do you plan to camp in the forest? Can I go too? Can I?!“ asked Pinkie Pie cheerfully.

“We don’t plan to camp in the forest, Pinkie”, replied Sunset Shimmer.

“We plan to go to the Castle of the Two Sisters to find the Elements of Harmony”, finished Twilight Sparkle.

“Can we go together? Can we?!“ asked Pinkie Pie all excited, going very close to Twilight Sparkle and Sunset Shimmer.

Sunset Shimmer planned to say yes. But Twilight Sparkle said the opposite, “No. Sorry, girls. But we’ll do it alone”

Applejack approached, “no chance, sugarcube. We will not allow one of our friends to go alone in this dangerous forest”

Twilight Sparkle was confused by Applejack calling her friend. While Sunset Shimmer just smiled at Applejack. The five mares entered the forest. Sunset Shimmer started walking. But soon stopped, when she heard Twilight Sparkle sigh. She went to Twilight Sparkle, “Come on, Twilight. Let’s follow them. We will save our mentors”

Twilight Sparkle smiled, “You’re right, Sunset. Let’s save our mentors”

It was for the elements of Harmony to work, right?

Twilight Sparkle, Sunset Shimmer and the others were already inside the forest and were on a cliff.

“Have the ponies that came to this forest managed to survive and come back?” asked Sunset Shimmer.

“No pony knows”, said Rainbow Dash frighteningly.

Rainbow Dash approached Rarity, Fluttershy and Pinkie Pie slowly as if to attack, “because every pony that enters this forest ...”

“Rainbow, stop it”, asked Applejack, not liking what Rainbow Dash was doing.

“... never again come out LIVE!” shouted Rainbow Dash the last word.

Suddenly, the ground where the six ponies were broken and all fell, except Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy, who were pegasus.

“Fluttershy, let’s save our friends”, said Rainbow Dash before setting for ransom.

“Oh my Celestia”, said Fluttershy before going to save her friends.

Rainbow Dash saved Pinkie Pie and Fluttershy saved Rarity. But Applejack, Sunset Shimmer and Twilight Sparkle continued to fall. Applejack managed to save herself by holding a twig with her mouth. But Sunset Shimmer and Twilight Sparkle continued to fall until they were able to hold onto the great cliff that went straight to the ground. Daybreaker and Nightmare Moon saw that Twilight Sparkle and Sunset Shimmer were supposed to fall at any time, “I’ll save Sunset Shimmer. You save Twilight Sparkle“, said Nightmare Moon.

Daybreaker waved and went to Twilight Sparkle. Twilight Sparkle began to fall. But she soon felt somepony had caught her with magic. She was frightened. She looked up and saw Daybreaker, “Celestia? You saved me?”

Daybreaker looked at Twilight Sparkle, “yes. I did it because you are still my student”

Sunset Shimmer was still holding on. She was about to fall, when a magic held her. Confused, she looked up and saw Nightmare Moon, “Luna?”

Nightmare Moon heard Sunset Shimmer and looked at Sunset Shimmer as she smiled. When Nightmare Moon and Daybreaker arrived on the ground, they put their students on the ground and flew away. Twilight Sparkle was confused, Daybreaker saved her? Already Sunset Shimmer was smiling, I knew Luna still cared about me.

Fluttershy and Rainbow Dash were holding Applejack. When Applejack was put on the floor, she went to Sunset Shimmer and Twilight Sparkle, “are you guys okay? How did you get there?”

Twilight Sparkle and Sunset Shimmer were speechless. How they would explain? “the princesses saved us”, said Sunset Shimmer.

Applejack raised an eyebrow. Were they mentioning Nightmare Moon and Daybreaker? “Are you talking about Nightmare Moon and Daybreaker? Impossible! They are evil!”

Sunset Shimmer went to Applejack, “they aren’t evil, Applejack. Something must have happened that made them become evil”

Rainbow Dash went up to Sunset Shimmer, flying, “Are you telling us that Nightmare Moon and Daybreaker are actually the Equestria princesses? Impossible. They would never become evil. Probably just an evil force in the form of the princesses”

“Very well, ponies. Let’s continue our way to the castle“, said Twilight Sparkle, already impatient.

The road was quiet, nothing bad happened. No animal attacked them. When they passed a river, the river was shallow. When Twilight Sparkle saw the castle of the two sisters, she smiled, “the castle of the two sisters!” exclaimed Twilight Sparkle cheerfully.

“We did it!” Twilight Sparkle ran, Sunset Shimmer and her friends too.

“Twilight, wait”, said Applejack.

“We’re almost there!” exclaimed Twilight Sparkle cheerfully.

But Twilight Sparkle didn’t see that she was about to fall on the broken bridge, she almost lost her balance until Rainbow Dash pushed Twilight Sparkle away from the bridge, “If I didn’t push you, you would have fallen”, said Rainbow Dash.

The six mares looked at the broken bridge, “how are we going to cross now?” asked Pinkie Pie.

“Dãh”, said Rainbow Dash, showing wings.

“Oh yeah”, said Pinkie Pie.

Rainbow Dash took the rope from the bridge and went to the other side of the bridge to tie. It was quiet. Rainbow Dash reached the other side as her friends crossed the bridge.

“Sunset, this was too quiet. I’m afraid Nightmare Moon and Daybreaker are up to something“, said Twilight Sparkle with apprehension.

“Twilight, stop worrying for nothing. They aren’t up to anything. You’re very nervous“, said Sunset Shimmer.

Nightmare Moon and Daybreaker looked at Twilight Sparkle and Sunset Shimmer, who had just entered the castle. Twilight Sparkle saw something that caught their attention, “the elements! We found it!”

Fluttershy and Rainbow Dash picked up the five jewels of the elements and placed them on the floor, “careful, careful”, said Sunset Shimmer.

“One, two, three, four, five,” said Pinkie Pie. “There are only five”

Twilight Sparkle lay down abdomen up while staring at the elements, “the book said that the sixth element is a mystery”, recapitulated Twilight Sparkle.

“So if the five elements activate, the sixth will appear?” asked Applejack.

“I think so,” replied Twilight Sparkle. “Get away, I don’t know what will happen”

Twilight Sparkle closed her eyes as she used the magic to see if she could find a spark. Sunset Shimmer was on the left side.

“Come on, guys,” said Applejack near the castle door. “She needs to focus”

Sunset Shimmer hated to stop the concentration of Twilight Sparkle, but she wanted to help, “Twilight”

Twilight Sparkle opened her eyes. Her magic disappeared, “yes?”

“Can I help you find the spark?” asked Sunset Shimmer.

Twilight Sparkle smiled, “Of course, Sunset”

Sunset Shimmer gave a little leap of joy, before lying down on her abdomen, closing her eyes and using her magic. Twilight Sparkle closed her eyes too.

What Twilight Sparkle and Sunset Shimmer didn’t know, was that Daybreaker and Nightmare Moon were watching, “Come on, while they’re with their eyes closed”

Nightmare Moon and Daybreaker looked back and saw Twilight friends Sparkle and Sunset Shimmer on their backs. Nightmare Moon turned a blue mist and Daybreaker a fire. They went to the elements and rolled the elements. Twilight Sparkle and Sunset Shimmer opened their eyes and were startled.

“The elements!” exclaimed Twilight Sparkle before jumping.

“Wait for me, Twilight!” exclaimed Sunset Shimmer before jumping along.

Twilight friends Sparkle and Sunset Shimmer came in and couldn’t find them, “Twilight, Sunset. Where are you guys?“ asked Applejack.

“Look!” exclaimed Rarity, staring out a window at another part of the castle, with flashing lights.

“Come on”, said Applejack before running away. The others followed Applejack.

Sunset Shimmer and Twilight Sparkle had their eyes closed while they were coughing. They opened their eyes and saw Nightmare Moon with the elements. But for a strange reason, Daybreaker wasn’t there. Nightmare Moon was laughing. Lightning flashes appered. Twilight Sparkle regained her courage and made an attacking position. Sunset Shimmer looked startled, “Twilight? What are you doing?!“ panicked Sunset Shimmer. Sunset Shimmer couldn’t believe Twilight Sparkle would attack her mentor.

“You are kidding? You’re kidding, right?“ asked Nightmare Moon, not believing what Twilight Sparkle was doing.

But, Twilight Sparkle ignored and magic left its horn. She ran to Nightmare Moon. Nightmare smiled with the courage of Twilight Sparkle, “Twilight! Please! Don’t do it!”

But Twilight Sparkle didn’t listen and kept running. When Twilight Sparkle and Nightmare Moon were almost close, Twilight Sparkle teleported. Nightmare Moon stopped and looked back, “just a spark. C’mon, c’mon”

Nightmare Moon turned into fog and went to Twilight Sparkle. Twilight Sparkle had her eyes closed. Suddenly she felt a shock and was pushed away. Sunset Shimmer went to Twilight Sparkle. Twilight Sparkle looked at the elements. The elements began to shine, “No! No!!”

Twilight Sparkle and Sunset Shimmer smiled. But suddenly, the brightness disappeared. Twilight Sparkle let out a surprised sigh, “but, where’s the sixth element?!”

Nightmare Moon began to laugh as she lifted her front hooves and broke the elements. Sunset Shimmer stared sadly. While Twilight Sparkle stared in disbelief.

“Twilight Sparkle and Sunset Shimmer,” began Nightmare Moon. “Did you really think it was going to stop me and Daybreaker?”

Sunset Shimmer decided to defend with an argument, “we didn’t mean to stop you, Luna. We wanted to save you!”

“That may even be true, Sunset”, said Nightmare Moon.

Sunset Shimmer smiled, “but if you wanted to save us, why would you want to use the elements?” finished Nightmare Moon.

Sunset Shimmer’s smile dropped as she stared at the floor. Daybreaker appeared with a smile. Knowing that she and Nightmare Moon won. Twilight Sparkle couldn’t feel anything but tears in her eyes. Nightmare Moon and Daybreaker noted the sad expressions of Sunset Shimmer and Twilight Sparkle, “Look, we have a proposition for you two”, said Nightmare Moon.

Sunset Shimmer looked at Nightmare Moon, “what is your proposal?”

“You join us”, replied Nightmare Moon.

Twilight Sparkle made an angry face, “We’ll never join you two!” exclaimed Twilight Sparkle.

“Why resist, Twilight? Don’t you want to stay with us?“ asked Daybreaker.

“We want to stay with our mentor princesses. Not with you!“ exclaimed Twilight Sparkle. Sunset Shimmer could only think that Twilight Sparkle was too brave to talk to the princesses, even though they was in that shape.

“Twilight, why fight? Why don’t you join in on our side?“ asked Daybreaker.

“Because we’ll never betray Equestria!” exclaimed Twilight Sparkle with confidence.

Suddenly Sounds of voices were heard. Twilight Sparkle and Sunset Shimmer looked back and saw their friends, “Twilight! Sunset!”

Twilight Sparkle ran to her friends. Sunset Shimmer accompanied her.

“Twilight, Sunset. Are you two okay?“ asked Applejack. “Nightmare Moon and Daybreaker hurt you two?”

“No, Applejack. Nightmare Moon and Daybreaker just tried to convince us to join alongside them,” replied Sunset Shimmer.

Rainbow Dash went to Sunset Shimmer and Twilight Sparkle, “You didn’t join them, right?”

Now who replied was Twilight Sparkle, “of course not, Rainbow Dash”

“Twilight, did you find the spark?” asked Applejack.

Twilight Sparkle stared at the floor, “no. Nightmare Moon and Daybreaker destroyed the elements of Harmony”

“They won”, said Sunset Shimmer.

“Yes, foals. We won“, said Nightmare Moon.

All mares looked at Nightmare Moon and Daybreaker. Twilight Sparkle and Sunset Shimmer couldn’t believe they failed Equestria. And especially their mentors. They have lost their mentors forever. All right, the two alicorns in front of them were them. But their mentors were evil now. What made them become evil?

“And you five ponies are accused of rebelling against the princesses of Equestria”, said Nightmare Moon, now approaching the group.

All the mares were looking in fear. Mainly Twilight Sparkle and Sunset Shimmer.

“Applejack, Pinkie Pie, Rainbow Dash, Rarity and Fluttershy. You’re arrested for rebelling against the princesses of Equestria“, said Daybreaker.

Two Solar and Lunar Guards appeared, arrested the five mares, except Twilight Sparkle and Sunset Shimmer, and led them to the castle dungeon. Sunset Shimmer, Twilight Sparkle, Nightmare Moon and Daybreaker were the only ones in the throne room of the old castle.

Tea Party

Twilight Sparkle and Sunset Shimmer were in the castle of the two sisters. Nightmare Moon and Daybreaker went out to announce to Equestria that they were the new princesses of Equestria. Twilight Sparkle was sitting on her haunches. She was struggling to not cry. Sunset Shimmer was trying everything to calm Twilight Sparkle, “we lost our mentors forever!” exclaimed Twilight Sparkle, now crying.

“No, Twilight. We don’t lose our mentors. I know they still care about us, even though they’re in that shape”, said Sunset Shimmer.

Twilight Sparkle looked at Sunset Shimmer, “Sunset, those are no longer our mentors. Why do you still believe that?”

Sunset Shimmer suddenly felt a self-confidence, “because I know deep down, they will always care about us!”

Suddenly, they felt a glow. It was coming from the ceiling! A jewel in the shape of a red and yellow sun appeared right above Sunset Shimmer. Twilight Sparkle was confused, “Is this an element of Harmony? I didn’t know that had one more element of Harmony”

“Not me, Twilight”, said Sunset Shimmer in surprise.

“What do you think this element represents?” asked Twilight Sparkle.

Sunset Shimmer began to reason, “Well, I always try to see the good side of the ponies. And I always believe that bad ponies can change, so the element I represent is understanding!”

The jewel turned a crown. She had red jewels and on top had the jewel of a red and yellow sun.

“Well, it looks like we’ve discovered a seventh Element”, said Twilight Sparkle.

“Yes”, agreed Sunset Shimmer.

Twilight Sparkle started walking, “quick. Let’s go to Ponyville to craft a plan on how to rescue the girls and also hide this element of Nightmare Moon and Daybreaker”

“Sounds like a good plan. But why can’t we rescue them now?” said Sunset Shimmer.

“Simple. Nightmare Moon and Daybreaker must have the key. And we’ll have to look at this castle and Canterlot’s”, explained Twilight Sparkle.

“Makes sense”, agreed Sunset Shimmer.

After Nightmare Moon and Daybreaker finished announcing that they were the new princesses of Equestria, they went to the Canterlot castle. When they entered the castle, they went to the throne room. Nightmare Moon teleported to the throne and sat down, “at least now the throne is mine”

Daybreaker cleared the throat, “our throne, sister”

Nightmare Moon rolled her eyes, “Yeah, yeah. I’ll ask them to make new thrones for us. This red no longer matches”

Daybreaker nodded.

When Twilight Sparkle and Sunset Shimmer arrived in the library, Sunset Shimmer placed the crown in a blue chest with jewels, “here seems like a good place to put the elements”

“I agree, Sunset”, said Twilight Sparkle.

Suddenly they heard a yawning sound. They looked at the basket and saw Spike, “did you get it?”

“I’m sorry Spike, but we couldn’t”, said Twilight Sparkle sadly.

“But we will not give up”, said Sunset Shimmer in the hope that Spike would cheer up.

“Oh ...” was all Spike could say. “Would you like me to help you?”

Twilight Sparkle went to Spike, “well, you can. But only if we really need to”

Spike smiled, “Okay, Twilight!”

Suddenly, Spike felt as if he was going to vomit and belted a parchment. He opened it and started reading, “dear Twilight and Sunset, we’d like to have you at Canterlot Castle right now. Signed Nightmare Moon and Daybreaker”

Twilight Sparkle and Sunset Shimmer looked at each other, “Shall we pack our backpacks?” asked Twilight Sparkle.

“No. But if we want to take ...” replied Sunset Shimmer.

Nightmare Moon and Daybreaker were at a table. Where it had cakes, pancakes, cookies and tea. They were waiting for Sunset Shimmer and Twilight Sparkle. While they waited for their students. Nightmare Moon began to hear Luna’s voice. And Daybreaker, of Celestia.

Why? Why did you fool me?

Nightmare Moon looked away, I didn’t fool you. I’m just doing what you always wanted to do.

I never wanted the night to be eternal!

Admit it. You always felt in the shadow of your sister. She received the compliments and you didn’t.

Daybreaker suddenly heard the voice of Celestia, Daybreaker, please. Stop.

Daybreaker laughed, why should I stop?

It isn’t obvious? Twilight Sparkle was crying when she saw you. You traumatized her!

I didn’t traumatize her, Celestia. Soon she will get used to us.

I am not you!

I am you yes! I am part of you!

Suddenly they heard hoofbeats. They looked forward to seeing Twilight Sparkle and Sunset Shimmer. Twilight Sparkle stared at the floor. She wasn’t accustomed to the new form of Celestia. While Sunset Shimmer had a nervous smile.

“Twilight, Sunset. We’re glad you came”, said Nightmare Moon.

“Thank you, Luna”, said Sunset Shimmer.

“Call Me Nightmare Moon, Sunset”, asked Nightmare Moon.

Sunset Shimmer stared at the floor a little. It would be difficult for her to call her mentor by that name.

Daybreaker noticed that Twilight Sparkle hadn’t taken her eyes off the floor, “Twilight”

Twilight Sparkle looked at Daybreaker, “yes, princess?” Twilight Sparkle said the last word almost as if she couldn’t.

“Please sit with me”, said Daybreaker.

Twilight Sparkle came over and sat down in the chair. She didn’t dare look at Daybreaker. She still couldn’t believe that Daybreaker was Celestia. Sunset Shimmer sat down next to Nightmare Moon. Knowing that Nightmare Moon would ask her to sit next to her. Sunset Shimmer felt embraced by a wing. She glanced at the wing before looking at Nightmare Moon, who was smiling. Sunset Shimmer didn’t know why, but it made her blush.

The tea lasted for a long time. Daybreaker and Nightmare Moon returned to the castle. Sunset Shimmer and Twilight Sparkle were in the garden. Twilight Sparkle looked up at the sky. She could feel nothing but yearning to see the sun. Now the only thing that was in the sky was the moon and the stars. Meanwhile, in the castle, Sunset Shimmer was in her tower looking at the sky. While Nightmare Moon was making constellations in the sky. She couldn’t deny that she was having fun. When she finished, she looked up at the sky with a smile.

Blowing a plan

Twilight Sparkle was in her tower and was lying on her bed reading a book. But as much as she tried, she couldn’t concentrate. Suddenly, the doorbell rang. She went down the stairs and opened the door. She was surprised to see Sunset Shimmer, “Sunset! I’m glad to see you”

“Thank you, Twilight. I came here to start writing a plan”, said Sunset Shimmer.

“Daybreaker and Nightmare Moon will not suspect?” asked Twilight Sparkle with apprehension.

“I doubt it. It’s night, and I’m sure Nightmare Moon and Daybreaker are busy watching us”, said Sunset Shimmer.

“OK. If you think so”, said Twilight Sparkle as she motioned for Sunset Shimmer to come in.

“I went up to the throne room and saw Nightmare Moon busy. While Daybreaker went for a walk, possibly to destroy anything she has in her way”, said Sunset Shimmer.

Twilight Sparkle started to get worried. What if Daybreaker tries to destroy her too, just because she tries to stop her?

“Twilight? Are you okay?” asked Sunset Shimmer, seeing Twilight Sparkle’s nervous expression.

“Yes. I’m just nervous”, replied Twilight Sparkle. Not being a complete lie.

“With what?” asked Sunset Shimmer.

“What if Daybreaker tries to destroy us? What if she tries to destroy me?” asked Twilight Sparkle nervously.

“Twilight, if Daybreaker didn’t destroy us when we tried to save her, why would she destroy somepony she loves?” said Sunset Shimmer. “And besides, don’t you want to save your mentor?”

“Yes. But what if Daybreaker just faked it? What if Nightmare Moon has faked too?” said Twilight Sparkle in a panic.

“Look, Twilight. They would never hurt us. Shall we focus on making a plan?” said Sunset Shimmer.

“Yeah. You’re right. Sorry for making you wasted time”, said Twilight Sparkle, staring at the floor.

Sunset Shimmer went to Twilight Sparkle, “No need to apologize. Let’s go now?”

“Come on”, agreed Twilight Sparkle.

It was another night, and Daybreaker and Nightmare Moon were in the dining room. For some reason, Twilight Sparkle and Sunset Shimmer were slow to arrive.

“Why is Sunset taking so long?” asked Nightmare Moon, already impatient.

“Maybe she’s still sleeping?” suggested Daybreaker.

Suddenly, a memory popped into her mind. She remembered when Sunset Shimmer appeared at the door, and there was sleep present on her face. Sunset Shimmer had said she had stayed up late and didn’t sleep as much as she should. Nightmare Moon smiled at the memory. Suddenly the dragon slits changed to normal pupils. It had tears in her eyes, Sunset, you like my night ... how I didn’t notice before?

“Nightmare Moon? Are you okay?” asked Daybreaker.

Normal pupils were once again dragon slits, “yeah, I’m fine”

Suddenly, the door opened, revealing Twilight Sparkle and Sunset Shimmer.

“At last you two finally came”, said Daybreaker.

After they finished eating, Twilight Sparkle and Sunset Shimmer went to one of their castle rooms, “so? You know the next part of the right plan?” asked Twilight Sparkle.

“Yes, Twilight”, Sunset Shimmer grabbed her backpack. While Twilight Sparkle was picking up her pack.

Nightmare Moon was on her new throne, doing real duties. She heard the door open and took her eyes off the parchment.

“Oh. Hi, Sunset”, smiled Nightmare Moon.

“Hi, Lu ... Nightmare Moon,” said Sunset Shimmer. “I’m going to go to Ponyville for a walk, okay?”

“Sure, Sunset”, said Nightmare Moon.

Twilight Sparkle was in the Sunset Shimmer room waiting for her. The door opened, “she said yes. Let’s go”

Twilight Sparkle smiled at that.

When they arrived in Ponyville, they headed toward Everfree Florest to see if the key could be in that old castle. When they arrived, they searched everywhere, “it isn’t here. Is it in Canterlot Castle? “ asked Sunset Shimmer, before looking back.

“Possibly”, said Twilight Sparkle.

When Twilight Sparkle and Sunset Shimmer arrived at the castle, they began to search everywhere in the castle. But so far, no key, “Where did they put that key?”

“I don’t know. But whatever they hid, it was a good hiding place“, said Twilight Sparkle.

“Wait. There’s a place we haven’t seen yet“, said Sunset Shimmer.

“What place?” asked Twilight Sparkle.

“The throne room”, replied Sunset Shimmer.

Meanwhile, in prison, Applejack and the others were sitting on their haunches, “who wants to dance?” asked Pinkie Pie.

“Pinkie, how do you plan to dance in a cage?” asked Rainbow Dash.

“Simple. Let’s dance so it’s not so tedious“, Pinkie Pie began to dance.

Applejack smiled, Only you, Pinkie Pie.

Suddenly, they heard sounds of door opening. A unicorn Solar guard came up to her with food. He handed it to the five mares. That done, he left.

“This food is a trash!” exclaimed Rarity in disgust.

Applejack had to agree. The food wasn’t one of the good things. Looked like it came from the trash the food, I hope Twilight and Sunset are planning on how to rescue us.

“See, friends!” exclaimed Pinkie Pie with a smile.

They all looked at Pinkie Pie. Pinkie Pie showed her plate, “look! My food has a smile!”

They all smiled before they laughed.

In the Castle of the Two Sisters, the fragments of the element of Laughter shone.

Sunset Shimmer was looking everywhere in the room. She went to the throne and sought after. She found the key, “I found it, Twilight!”

Twilight Sparkle smiled, “good, Sunset! Now let’s go to the Castle of the Two Sisters”

Sunset Shimmer put the key in her backpack, and she and Twilight Sparkle ran out. But when they left, Nightmare Moon and Daybreaker saw them, “Where are you two going?”

“To Ponyville. We like to spend time in Ponyville“, replied Twilight Sparkle with a nervous smile.

“Yeah. Now, excuse me“, said Sunset Shimmer before running away. Twilight Sparkle went along.

Nightmare Moon and Daybreaker suspected their behavior and went to the throne room.

Meanwhile, Twilight Sparkle and Sunset Shimmer ran. Suddenly, Sunset Shimmer stopped, “Twilight, wait!”

Twilight Sparkle stopped running, “yeah?”

“Why don’t we teleport to the Castle of the Two Sisters?” asked Sunset Shimmer.

Twilight Sparkle hit a hull on the forehead, “that’s true. How can we be so stupid?”

Sunset Shimmer used her magic to teleport her and Twilight Sparkle. When they opened their eyes, they were already in the old castle, “now let’s try to find the place where the castle is in prison”

Nightmare Moon was sitting on her throne. Nightmare Moon had an idea, “I’m going to that old castle to see the prisoners”

Daybreaker smiled, “Good idea. Can I go too?”

“Of course”, replied Nightmare Moon.

Sunset Shimmer and Twilight Sparkle haven’t yet found where the prison was. Suddenly, they heard a sound of flapping wings. They looked at the door and saw Daybreaker and Nightmare Moon, “they are coming! Fast, hide!”

Sunset Shimmer jumped into a window and hid out of the castle. Twilight Sparkle used an invisibility spell.

When Nightmare Moon and Daybreaker landed, they headed for the prison room. Twilight Sparkle, still invisible, went to the window where Sunset Shimmer jumped, “Come, let’s follow them”, she whisped.

Sunset Shimmer knew Twilight Sparkle was invisible. So she used an invisibility spell as well. They started following the two alicorns.

Nightmare Moon opened the door with her magic. She smiled at the prisoners. “Good evening, former subjects. Enjoying your arrest?“ said Nightmare Moon.

“No! Food is like trash. And this place is filthy!“ said Rarity.

Nightmare Moon rolled her eyes at Rarity’s reply, “It doesn’t matter. We came here for a reason”

“Which? Will you release us?“ asked Applejack hopefully.

Nightmare Moon laughed, “No. But it has to do with Rainbow Dash”

Rainbow Dash looked at Nightmare Moon, “Me?”

Nightmare Moon went to Rainbow Dash, “yes, you. I have always realized that you are a brave and very confident mare. And I must admit, that caught my attention. Tell me Rainbow Dash, would you like to get out of this prison?”

“Yes. Why?“ wanted to know Rainbow Dash.

“Well, I can let you out of jail. But with one condition“, said Nightmare Moon.

“What condition?” asked Rainbow Dash.

“Simple. You could join the Shadowbolts or you could be a Lunar Guard“, smiled Nightmare Moon.

All except Daybreaker and Nightmare Moon gasped with surprises.

“I’ll never join you!” exclaimed Rainbow Dash.

“But you don’t want to leave? This is your chance“, Nightmare Moon tried to convince Rainbow Dash.

“Yes. I want to leave. But if I’m to join you to get out of here, then I’d rather not join you!“ Replied Rainbow Dash. “I will always be loyal to my friends!”

The four mares were relieved. While Nightmare Moon just looked with a serious face.

In the Castle of the Two Sisters, fragments of the element of loyalty shone.

“OK. Stay there, you insolent foal. I hope you dies“, said Nightmare Moon before leaving and closing the door.

When Nightmare Moon and Daybreaker left, Sunset Shimmer picked up the key before opening the door. The caged mares stared at the door. And to they surprise, there was no one.

“W-who’s there?” asked Fluttershy in fear.

“Is it a ghost? Hi, ghost!“ said Pinkie Pie.

Sunset Shimmer undoes the invisibility spell. The mares sorthey laughed, “Sunset! Twilight! Glad you came!“ exclaimed Rarity relieved.

“We have the key”, said Sunset Shimmer.

Sunset Shimmer went up to the cages and opened it. They were relieved as they embraced Sunset Shimmer and Twilight Sparkle. Twilight Sparkle, realized how important friendship was. Then her eyes flashed, “I understand now! I know how we can save Luna and Celestia!“ exclaimed Twilight Sparkle.

“Twilight, why do you still insist that they are the princesses?” asked Applejack, not understanding.

“Applejack, I understand it’s hard to believe, but it’s true. I swear“, said Twilight Sparkle.

Applejack thought. Why couldn’t she believe in Twilight Sparkle? Maybe Twilight Sparkle was telling the truth. And she should trust her, “Okay, Twilight. I trust you”

“Thank you, Applejack”, said Twilight Sparkle.

“So what did you understood?” asked Rainbow Dash.

“That we're the bearers of the elements of Harmony. If each of us finds out which element we represents , we can save them. Did any of you prove to be an element of Harmony?” said Twilight Sparkle..

“Well, I made our friends laugh. So I prove to be the element of Laughter“, said Pinkie Pie.

“And I proved to be loyal to my friends”, said Rainbow Dash.

“A few more of you?” asked Sunset Shimmer.

Twilight Sparkle said, “Well, now I understand the friendship. Then it is probable that I am the element of magic. Because I realized that all of you are my friends”

Suddenly fragments of the Element of Laughter, Loyalty and Magic came to them.

“What’s this?” asked Applejack.

“They are the elements of Harmony, or at least it’s one of the elements”, said Twilight Sparkle.

“Where are the others?” asked Pinkie Pie.

“You guys, except for Rainbow Dash and Pinkie Pie, need to demonstrate at least a feeling of Honesty, kindness or generosity”, explained Twilight Sparkle.

The element of magic shone on Twilight Sparkle and turned a crown. The elements that rolled around Pinkie Pie and Rainbow Dash turned a necklace.

“Where can we stay so that Daybreaker and Nightmare Moon do not find us?” asked Applejack.

“You can stay at the Golden Oka’s Tree Library with Spike. He’s usually alone there“, replied Twilight Sparkle.

Sabotage

Spike put the element of Loyalty, Magic, and Laughter in the same chest as the element of Understanding, “three are already here. Sunset Shimmer’s Element doesn’t count because she is an unknown element. Three remaining”

Applejack looked at her friends, “I know we’re close to winning”

They all nodded. Nothing could stop them from winning now.

Sunset Shimmer and Twilight Sparkle arrived just in time for dinner. Nightmare Moon and Daybreaker saw their students and smiled. Twilight Sparkle sat next to Daybreaker. Twilight Sparkle started to get used to it. But that didn’t mean she was going to let Daybreaker win. She wanted to get Celestia back. But she knew that soon she would see Celestia again. And Sunset Shimmer sat down next to Nightmare Moon. She had already grown accustomed to Nightmare Moon.

Although Nightmare Moon and Daybreaker aren’t talking about their students joining them. They had a plan in mind on how to get them to go to their side.

After Twilight Sparkle and Sunset Shimmer finished dinner, They went to their rooms. At least they were a hoof ahead to save their mentors. And that made them very happy. Sunset Shimmer was on the balcony staring at the night sky, until she heard a knock on the door. Sunset Shimmer went to the door and opened it. She was surprised to see a Lunar guard, “Princess Nightmare Moon wants to see you in her room”

Sunset Shimmer was surprised. Nightmare Moon wants to see it? But why? Well, maybe it’s not so bad, “thank you for informing me. I’m going now”

As Sunset Shimmer headed toward Nightmare Moon’s bedroom, she began to think of Nightmare Moon’s motive to call. What if it was because Nightmare Moon discovered that she got the key? If that was it, she knew she was very screwed. When she reached the door, she knocked on the door, “you may enter. The door is open”, said Nightmare Moon from the other side of the door.

Sunset Shimmer opened the door. She was surprised to see that the room was all dark, “hi?”

Suddenly, the lights went on. Nightmare Moon was waiting for her. With a smile, she grabbed Sunset Shimmer. And made some of her magic go into the horn of Sunset Shimmer. Sunset Shimmer began to move a lot. Because of the magic try to take control of her body. After several minutes of fighting, she collapsed. When Sunset Shimmer woke up, her eyes were dragon slits. For some reason, Sunset Shimmer wanted to hug her mentor. Nightmare Moon returned the hug with a smile.

Daybreaker grabbed Twilight Sparkle with her magic. Twilight Sparkle was surprised and possibly frightened. She used her magic in Twilight Sparkle. Twilight Sparkle felt the magic coming into her horn. Daybreaker released Twilight Sparkle. Twilight Sparkle began to move a lot. After a few minutes, Twilight Sparkle stopped moving and closed her eyes. Daybreaker waited anxiously for the result, did it work?

When Twilight Sparkle opened her eyes, her eyes were dragon slits. She looked at Daybreaker with a smile. She bowed, “have anything I can do for you, princess?”

Daybreaker smiled. Knowing that the spell worked.

After Twilight Sparkle and Sunset Shimmer left, they felt very different. When they met, they glared at each other before going to their bedrooms to sleep. When Sunset Shimmer arrived in her bed, she fell asleep. While Twilight Sparkle fell asleep as well.

When the morning arrived in Ponyville, they all woke up and went to breakfast. Applejack was putting things on the table. Fluttershy offered to help, “Can I help you?”

“Sure, Fluttershy”, said Applejack.

In the Castle of the Two Sisters, the fragments of the element of Kindness shone.

Spike went to Fluttershy, “Fluttershy, do you realize what you did?”

“Yes. I helped Applejack”, replied Fluttershy.

“Yes. But you showed kindness. You are the element of Kindness”, said Spike.

Suddenly, something was heard from the door. Spike opened the door and was surprised to see fragments of the element of Kindness. The fragments went up to Fluttershy and formed a necklace.

“Well, four have already been. There are two left”, said Applejack, with plates on the hull.

Spike went to Fluttershy. Fluttershy handed the necklace to Spike. Spike went up the stairs to put the element in the chest.

When Twilight Sparkle and Sunset Shimmer woke up, they went into the dining room. Nightmare Moon and Daybreaker looked at them with a smile. They walked to the table with a smile. When Twilight Sparkle and Sunset Shimmer sat down, Nightmare Moon decided to ask, “So, you two are going to join us?”

“Yes. We’d love it”, said Twilight Sparkle and Sunset Shimmer in unison.

Daybreaker and Nightmare Moon smiled, knowing that they won. And that nothing would stop them now.

Rarity went to a place to look for precious jewels. She used the magic of her horn to locate a jewel. It took a few minutes, but she managed to find a light blue diamond. She took the diamond with her magic, “this jewel will be useful for me to put on a dress I’m working on”

Suddenly, Rarity heard a cry. She went to the place where the crying came. She saw a unicorn pony with a yellow coat, blue mane and a Cutie Mark of a four-leaf clover with a red X. Rarity went to the pony, “dear, is everything okay?”

The pony looked at Rarity, “No. It isn’t alright. I can’t find any precious jewelry. And all because of me being unlucky”

Rarity felt sorry for this pony. She wanted to help him in some way. But how? She looked at the jewel. Maybe if she gave her jewel to that pony, maybe he would feel better? Rarity walked over to the pony and nudged him lightly with her hull. The pony turned to Rarity, “take it”

The pony was confused, “why?”

“Because I realized you didn’t find any jewelry. So, I’m offering you mine”, replied Rarity.

“Really? Thank you!” the pony took the jewel with his magic and came out all bouncy.

Rarity was happy for the pony. Until, she realized she was generous. So this means that she represents the element of Generosity.

In the Castle of the Two Sisters, the fragments of the element of Generosity shone.

As Rarity was about to enter the library, she saw something from far toward her. What was that? Suddenly, the thing came to her and formed a necklace. Rarity sighed in surprise, “the element of Generosity!”

The door opened, revealing Applejack, “Rarity? What are the Element of Generosity you’re talking about?”

Applejack noticed that there was a necklace on Rarity’s neck, “this is ... This is...”

Rarity smiled, “Yes, dear. It is the element of generosity. I represent him!”

Meanwhile, at Canterlot Castle, Twilight Sparkle and Sunset Shimmer planned to stay in the room with their mentors. When they were to turn a corridor, they collided with each other.

“Look where you’re going, lover of the sun!!” cried Sunset Shimmer irritably.

“Look where you’re going, your... Your...” tried to say Twilight Sparkle, but was interrupted.

“Stop this fight!”

Twilight Sparkle and Sunset Shimmer looked and saw Nightmare Moon and Daybreaker, “Come on”, said Nightmare Moon and Daybreaker in unison.

Twilight Sparkle followed Daybreaker and Sunset Shimmer followed Nightmare Moon. They went to different paths. Nightmare and Sunset Shimmer were left. And Daybreaker and Twilight Sparkle to the right.

“Princess, I’m sorry to end up fighting. I should have continued on my way to you, and not fight with Twilight Sparkle”, excused Sunset Shimmer.

Nightmare Moon smiled, “no problem, Sunset”

When Sunset Shimmer and Nightmare Moon arrived in the room, Nightmare Moon opened the door, “after you”

Sunset Shimmer entered the room. The room had been the same since she’d first entered. She heard the sound of the door closing. Sunset Shimmer looked back and saw Nightmare Moon looking at her with a smile. Nightmare Moon approached Sunset Shimmer, “Let’s go to the balcony. I want you to enjoy my eternal night”

“Of course, Princess”, said Sunset Shimmer with a smile.

Taking a course

Spike was walking in the park until he saw a red rose in a bush. He thought of picking it up for Rarity. That’s what he was going to do. Spike went to the rose. But he didn’t realize that the rose had thorns and stuck his paws in the rose. There were many thorns in his paw. He ran back to the library. When he arrived he spoke to them all, “I pawed my paw in a rose!”

Fluttershy went to Spike, “I’m going to get my first aid kit”

Applejack took a bench for Spike to sit down. Spike went to the bench and sat down. The thorns were hurting a lot. I hope Fluttershy doesn’t delay to return.

When Fluttershy returned with the first-aid kit, she saw Spike moving around in his chair. Because it hurts the thorns. Fluttershy flew to Spike, “I came back. Now, shall we begin? That if it’s okay for you..."

“Yes. Start, please. It’s hurting a lot“, said Spike, about to cry.

Fluttershy opened the kit and reached for a pair of helmet pliers. Didn’t take too long. She took the pliers with her hooves and began to remove the thorns. Spike didn’t stop shouting. But he knew it would be worth it. When Fluttershy finished, she took a bandage and curled it into Spike’s paw.

It’s been a few months, and It was Fluttershy’s birthday. And Pinkie Pie was making an apple-covered chocolate cake. When she finished, she went to Golden Oka’s Tree Library, “The cake arrived ~!” sang Pinkie Pie.

When Applejack looked at the cake, she could feel nothing but hunger.

“Well, I’m going back to Sugarcube Corner to pick up the party stuff. Don’t even think about eating the cake while I’m gone”, Pinkie Pie closed the door.

Applejack couldn’t help denying that the cake looked delicious.

“I came back with the decorations and ...” but Pinkie Pie’s speech was interjected when she saw the plate with the cake without the cake, “The cake is gone. Somepony’s got it!”

All four mares and Spike looked at Pinkie Pie, “Who of you ate?”

“It was me, Pinkie”, replied Applejack.

“But why, Applejack?” asked Pinkie Pie.

“It’s just that the cake looked so good that I couldn’t resist tasting it, but I just couldn’t control it and I ended up eating it.

In the Castle of the Two Sisters, fragments of the Honesty element shone.

“Applejack, I’m glad you were honest”, smiled Pinkie Pie before embracing Applejack.

Suddenly, they and Spike heard a sound at the door. Spike opened the door and saw fragments of the element of Honesty come in and go up to Applejack and form a necklace.

“The last element! We did it!” exclaimed Rainbow Dash cheerfully.

Applejack handed the necklace to Spike to put in the chest.

Applejack went to a window, “Is it my impression or Sunset and Twilight didn’t send us any letters? Like, what if something happened to them?”

“You’ll see they’re busy, darling”, Rarity suggested.

“I don’t know, Rarity. I think we should see them“, said Applejack.

“Nightmare Moon and Daybreaker will see us. And they will find out that we have escaped from prison. We’d better stay here“, said Fluttershy.

“Let’s just go quietly, silly. As spies“, said Pinkie Pie.

Everypony agreed with the idea. Now just cheer for it to work.

It was a starry night and Nightmare Moon and Sunset Shimmer were on the balcony. Nightmare Moon hugged Sunset Shimmer with a wing. She looked at Sunset Shimmer, “Sunset ...”

Sunset Shimmer looked at Nightmare Moon, “yes, Princess?”

“Would you like to take a walk?” asked Nightmare Moon.

“Of course, Princess”, replied Sunset Shimmer.

Sunset Shimmer rode on Nightmare Moon. Before they fly out into the night sky.

In the towns of Canterlot, Spike and the five mares saw Nightmare Moon and Sunset Shimmer in the sky.

“Look! It’s Sunset and Nightmare Moon!“ Pinkie Pie pointed to the sky.

Rainbow Dash covered Pinkie Pie’s mouth.

Sunset Shimmer and Nightmare Moon heard Pinkie Pie’s voice and stared at the floor. But there was no one down there.

“I think I heard Pinkie’s voice”, said Sunset Shimmer.

“Me too, Sunset”, said Nightmare Moon.

“Did they run away from prison?!” exclameid Sunset Shimmer in anger.

“Let’s go there for that old castle to see”, said Nightmare Moon before flying out.

When Nightmare Moon and Sunset Shimmer were out of sight, the four mares looked at Pinkie Pie rather unhappy, “what is it?”

“What’s it? You gave it to us! Nightmare Moon will find out we’re not in jail!“ exclaimed Rainbow Dash.

“Oops”, said Pinkie Pie, grinning nervously.

When Sunset Shimmer and Nightmare Moon arrived at the Castle of the Two Sisters, Sunset Shimmer left Nightmare Moon’s back. They entered the castle and went to the prison. When they entered, they noticed that the cages were empty. Nightmare Moon was surprised and angry, “how they would have run away?!”

“It was me”, confessed Sunset Shimmer.

Nightmare Moon looked at Sunset Shimmer confused, “huh? How did you do that?”

“It was me and Twilight who released them. We did it because we wanted to use the elements of Harmony to save you. But now, we realize that you and Daybreaker are better rulers and that we were not being loyal to you. But don’t worry, from now on, I will be loyal to you. Forever“, said Sunset Shimmer.

Nightmare Moon was surprised by the confession of Sunset Shimmer. She didn’t expect her student to do this. But she wouldn’t punish her. Because she knew Sunset Shimmer was loyal to her other half. But now, Sunset Shimmer was loyal to her.

“I will not punish you, Sunset. But you promise to help me get those treacherous mares back into prison?“ said Nightmare Moon.

Sunset Shimmer bowed, “all for you, my princess”

Twilight Sparkle and Daybreaker were in the throne room. Daybreaker was sitting on the throne and Twilight Sparkle was at her side. Until a message came to them. Daybreaker opened the letter and began to read, “Daybreaker, I have bad news those five mares fled from prison. Help me find them. Signed, Nightmare Moon”

“Twilight”, began Daybreaker, now looking at Twilight Sparkle.

Twilight Sparkle looked at Daybreaker, “yes, princess?”

“Five mares escaped from prison. let’s help Nightmare Moon”, replied Daybreaker.

“If that’s what you want, then I’ll do it”, said Twilight Sparkle as she bent over.

Nightmare Moon went to all places of Equestria along with Sunset Shimmer on her back, announcing the escape of the prisoners. And the five mares knew they were screwed. They were inside the Canterlot castle looking for Sunset Shimmer and Twilight Sparkle. But they haven’t found them yet.

“We’d better get back to Ponyville”, said Fluttershy.

“You will not”, said a familiar voice.

The five mares looked back and saw Twilight Sparkle. But something didn’t seem right. Her pupils in her eyes were dragon slits.

“Twilight, are you okay, sugarcube?” asked Applejack.

“Oh, I’m more than good, Applejack”, replied Twilight Sparkle as she smiled.

“Are you sure? Why have you seen your eyes?” asked Applejack.

“These are my new eyes”, replied Twilight Sparkle.

“But how did you keep eyes like that?” asked Applejack.

“It was Daybreaker. Thanks to the princess, I’m loyal to her”, said Twilight Sparkle.

“I thought you were loyal to Celestia”, said Rainbow Dash.

“I’m loyal to the Daybreaker now,” said Twilight Sparkle. “The same as Sunset, who is loyal to that spoiled alicorn”

The five mares couldn’t believe it. They were about to win and bring Luna and Celestia back. But now they have lost because of Twilight Sparkle having undergone brainwashing.

“Twilight, you have to get out of this trance!” exclaimed Rainbow Dash.

Twilight Sparkle laughed, “and why should I? Thanks to Daybreaker, I realized that I was being loyal to the wrong princess.Now nothing will stop us from conquering Equestria!”

Applejack went to Twilight Sparkle, “Please, Twilight, I know you still want to save your mentor and that you would never be evil, so please come back ... For us ... Go back to Spike...”

Twilight Sparkle began to feel confused. And when Applejack mentioned Spike, she remembered the moments she spent with him. She came out of the trance and started crying as she hugged Applejack, “I’m sorry, Applejack. I didn’t want to say any of that ... I don’t know what got into me...”

Applejack returned the hug, “It wasn’t your fault, Sugarcube. You had been brainwashed”

“Looks like you’ve gotten out of the trance”, a voice said.

All six mares looked forward and saw Daybreaker. Twilight Sparkle was nervous and took a few steps back.

“And it looks like you guys got out of jail”, said Daybreaker.

Twilight Sparkle used a teleportation spell to teleport all five mares to the Ponyville library. Spike was startled by them appearing out of nowhere, “some of you except Pinkie Pie and Rainbow Dash, have managed to demonstrate a sense of Honesty, kindness or generosity?”

“I have shown generosity when I gave a precious jewel to a pony”, replied Rarity.

“And I show kindness when I helped Applejack put things on the table”, replied Fluttershy.

“And you, Applejack? Did you get a sense of Honesty?” asked Twilight Sparkle.

“Yes. When I confessed that it was I who ate the Fluttershy cake, the fragments of the element of Honesty came to me”, replied Applejack.

“Well, it looks like we got it,” said Twilight Sparkle. “Have any of you seen Sunset Shimmer?”

“I think I saw her in the back of Nightmare Moon that night”, said Pinkie Pie.

“Do you think she might have been brainwashed too?” asked Applejack.

Twilight Sparkle began to think. Even though she was brainwashed, she could remember what she had done. And she remembered Sunset Shimmer’s eyes. The pupils of Sunset Shimmer were dragon slits, “Yes. Because I remember being bumped into it, and her eyes were just like mine”

“How are we going to save Sunset then?” asked Applejack.

“The same way you saved me”, replied Twilight Sparkle with a smile.
