Sunset frowned “Who wants to see where this portal leads?”

Twilight looked sadly between the food and the portal, Cozy rolled her eyes “The portal won’t go anywhere. Enjoy the food.”

Gilda smiled “I’d like to see what goes on the other side.”

Rainbow clicked her fingers sending the food to a pocket dimension as Twilight pouted “We can investigate the other world now and then be back for food.”

Adagio, Sonata and Aria nodded “We’ll watch the portal from this side, the rest of you should go.”

Scootaloo grinned “Let’s go, this sounds like fun! We never get invited along to magical things.”

Rarity smiled “Come on Sweetie Belle, I want to see what is going on this other world.”

Sweetie Belle smiled happy to spend time with her sister “Okay.” Every except the Dazzlings jumped through the portal only to see an angelic version of Sunset Shimmer fighting a version of Twilight’s transformed state.

Sunset, Cozy and Twilight transformed before flying up into the air next to them “Excuse me but why are you two fighting?”

Rainbooms Sunset growled “Because Midnight Sparkle is trying open countless portals to Equestria and potentially destroy both worlds.”

Unity Sunset sighed as she placed a finger on Midnight Sparkle’s forehead causing the magic to leave her and then the winged Twilight caught her.

Rainbooms Sunset reverted back to normal as she landed before looking to her counterpart “Why are you here anyway?’

Unity Rainbow pointed to the portal “Your Twilight opened the portal and we used it to create a gateway. Thins seem very different here.”

The rest of Rainbooms approached, the Rainbooms Rainbow growled as she pointed at Gilda “Why are you still friends with that backstabbing bitch!”

Rainbow frowned “Because I was an arrogant bitch, it’s why I lost my friends.. I have toned down the ego and been true to myself and my friends. Everyone around me is my family, something we all promised each other.”

Rainbooms Applejack frowned “Where is Apple Bloom?”

Everyone grew deathly silent, Unity Applejack grimaced “She was so entwined with dark magic so deep in her soul that the elements couldn’t save her. She was too far gone, so I sent her to the next world where I hope she rests in peace.”

Rainbooms Applejack snarled “How could you do that to your own family!”

Unity Applejack growled “Family is more than just those of your blood, I have a family standing around me. One she tried to bring down with Anon-A-Miss but we all stood together as a family.”

Unity Fluttershy’s eyes narrowed as the Rainbooms’ all looked ashamed “Wait you mean you believed that obvious nonsense!”

Unity Rarity rubbed her temple as she saw the well hidden pain in Sunset’s eyes “Wait, did you just abandon Sunset because of some rumours. You call yourself her friends, that is just really sad.”

Cozy stepped forward cold fury marking her face “Did you ever properly even apologise to her!”

Gilda glared at the Rainbooms Rainbow “You have a lot of guts to call me a backstabbing bitch after treating your Sunset like that!”

Rainbooms’ Sunset frowned “Enough, we put that all behind us!” She then looked over the group “There is a lot more of you then is of us.”

Unity Sunset gave Cozy a peck on the cheek “This is my girlfriend Cozy Glow, Wallflower, Gilda and the Dazzlings plus Scootaloo and Sweetie Belle are all my friends.”

Rarity exclaimed “How are the Dazzling you friends, they tried to mind control everyone?!”

Wallflower tapped the green stone necklace “The memory stone, an ancient magical artefact that’s power far eclipses that of even the Dazzlings full power. I was able to nullify their mind control before they could do any real harm, we managed to cleanse their gems of the dark influence.”

Before another word could be spoken this world’s Cinch growled “Principal Celestia, I demand you forfeit…”

The raven winged Twilight growled as she lifted the woman into the air “You hateful, scornful bitch. Treating everyone like nothing more than a tool.”

Unity Sunset frowned “Twilight… this is not the”

She snarled back full of anger “I’m Nightraven, not Twilight! Now give me one good reason why I shouldn’t bring her end!”

Gilda flew up to her with a sad smile “Because letting anger drive you will only lead to disaster, you need to find healthier ways of coping. Letting vengeance control you will not help you any.” She then looked at Sunset “I almost a made a terrible mistake because of that path but someone proud and strong saved me from my own demons.”

Nightraven pulled Cinch over to her with her magic smirking savagely “Listen to me bitch, it’s your lucky day because I’m going to let you live. Make no mistake if I hear another word of your shit I will bring you to an end faster than you can say mercy.”

She dropped the woman who scurried away in fear, Unity Sunset smiled “While I’m here you can me Shimmer and if you ever decide to visit my world than you would be called Shimmer there.”

Sunset nodded “That’s fair.”

Shimmer frowned “Could explain to me what happened during you Anon-A-Miss incident?’

Sunset sighed “Well I’ll start at the beginning.” As she explained what happened everyone else’s glares only grew fiercer at Sunset’s ‘friends.’

Shimmer blinked for a moment before she turned to glare at the Rainbooms “Did you offer a proper apology after you blamed Anon-A-Miss on her?”

The Rainbooms bring Sunset looked down in shame. Sunset frowned “Shimmer, it has already past and…”

Shimmer raised a hand “Sunset, if they are not going to apologise after such an obvious betrayal than how can you truly trust them. It shows an incredible lack of respect and something that you should consider carefully.”

Rainbooms Applejack growled “Why would you say that?!”

Unity Applejack frowned at her “Because it’s the truth, now I suggest we go through the portal before someone back home misses us.” The whole Unity band plus Scootaloo, Sweetie Belle and Nightraven leapt through the portal. Leaving their counterparts to think about what was said.
