Birth of Megamare
Chapter 6: Awakening
Previous ChapterNext ChapterTwilight groaned as she opened her eyes, a brilliant amber woman with crimson red and bright yellow hair in a white tank top and blue jeans was sitting there alongside Celestia.
Twilight frowned at the stranger “Who are you?”
The woman frowned “I am Sunset Shimmer, your predecessor. I see that Celestia has not informed you of my existence, yet again we aren’t on the best terms. She failed to understand that I was more than a mere Mecha. My mind is my own, no laws or rules to chain me down.”
Twilight growled “My mother would never do that! She is a good person!”
Sunset turned to Celestia “Mother huh, you really have changed from the person I knew when I was a child. I refused to believe that you changed, you hurt me like no-one else did but I won’t lie to myself.” She clicked her fingers and two glowing orbs appeared, she gave one to Celestia “Maybe we can start over. Prove to me your can be the person that I needed back then.”
Twilight looked at Celestia’s lack of a reaction to Sunset’s words “How can you let her speak to you like this?! How can you let her say such bad things about you?!”
Celestia grimaced “Because she is right. Sunset had the right to kill me back then, even after one thousand years I have not grown wiser. I am far from the perfect person you seem to think I am.”
Twilight eyes widened “But you’re the Princess of the Sun, Defender of the Realm, Slayer of Shadows, Master of Magic, Guardian of the Skies, Protector of the Land, The Unconquerable Sun. How could anyone think you are flawed?”
Sunset grimaced “They couldn’t, Celestia spent the best part of millennium having everyone telling her how amazing she was. For a being like Celestia that is very dangerous, if one Sanctis could fall why not another.” Her eyes narrowed at Celestia “Ego can be just as dangerous as jealously Daybreaker.”
Celesta shivered “Don’t call me that…”
Sunset frowned “I was not speaking to you Celestia…” she then eyed Celestia “Daybreaker, if you take control I will not hesitate to bring you down!”
A voice reverberated through the air “You think you can face me, you little pile of bolts! I will scrap you if it ever came to it.”
Sunset rolled her eye “I have fought quite a few beings who would make Discord quiver in his boots. I am part of the Expedition’s Guild in Mirestorm, seen a lot of strange things out there.”
Celestia growled “Quit it, you will never take control of me!”
Daybreaker chuckled “You will break eventually, I’m your ego and I will never ever leave you completely.”
Twilight blinked in confusion “What was that?”
Sunset turned to the young girl “Twilight, sometimes powerful beings can form a darker side drawn from negative emotions or experiences. I have one too born form my anger at Celestia, her name if Flame and we have an accord.”
Flame’s voice echoed “Damn right we do! Are you seriously give that bitch a second chance, after all she did to us?!”
Celestia growled as her body glowed with magic “How could you let such a being exits?! If you half as strong as you claim nobody could stop her!”
Sunset frowned “Flame, stop being a pain in my ass. Holding onto hatred for too long is not healthy and you know that.” She then turned to Celestia “Me and Flame have an accord, besides it is way too easy to create another from another emotion if you stop one. Flame takes up that space so I will not have to face another, in fact we trust each other enough that…”
Sunset’s body turned red as her hair turned to flames a pair of black and red bat like wings shooting out of her back. Flame gave Celestia a grin “I am allowed out sometimes, don’t worry I am not allowed to kill without her permission. Part of our accord.”
Celestia snarled “Why should I trust you?!”
Flames laughed “Because you are not willing to kill the daughter that you failed to show the love for. Besides I do harm by existing do I, also Daybreaker is a bit of a shit. She owes her existence to you, that deserves some respect.”
Twilight blinked “How can you be in there, everything told me that you can only have one soul in one body?”
Flames smiled “Inquisitive aren’t you, well it’s quite simple. What we have is kind of like Multiple Personality Disorder but given life due to the magical power of the individual. If one doesn't find way to come to arrangement to suit you will lose control as two sides of your fight for control. I have always respected Sunset, she is strong even if she is quite capable of exploding at individual should she believe it to be justified.”
Flame then disappeared, Sunset frowned “You really need to come to an accord with Daybreaker. I am giving you a second chance but seriously you need to do something about that, I’ll discuss it with you tomorrow. I have a friend to speak to, she hasn’t seen me in a while.”
Twilight and Celestia watched, Twilight turned to Celestia “Did you really do what she said you did?”
Celestia nodded gravely “Yes, she is a better person than I am. I would not have forgiven myself in her place even after all this time.” She then whispered “I still haven't completely forgiven my sister yet. She was going to wipe out all life.”
Twilight not hearing the last bit smiled “Don’t worry mum, you’re a good person who has just made some mistakes.”
Celestia smiled “Thanks Twilight. Now let’s go and get some food, you must be hungry.” Twilight blushed as her artificial stomach voiced it’s agreement, the two headed to the kitchens for food with smiles on their faces.
