Golden Touch

Eddie and George were walking home from school. It was just another day for them. It had been a year since they stopped the Walker, and the Darkness. Little did they know what was in store for them. Suddenly they heard someone shout their names, "George! Eddie!

They quickly turned around to find the Gunner running towards them with Spout flying right above. "Hey guys!" he called out, "What's up?"

"Eigengang! Gag! Gag Eigengang!" Spout said.

"Yes. This is really bad." agreed the Gunner. George's smile fell. Apparently whatever it was was really bad.

"What is it?" he asked.

"It's the Walker's statue! It's gone!" the Gunner exclaimed. Suddenly their hearts skipped a beat. If the Walker was free who knew what kind of horrible things could happen. They barely survived the last time.

"I think I might now where he is." said George, "Let's head over to the London Stone quick!" With that he hoped up, and Spout grabbed him. The Gunner hoisted Eddie aloft, and started running after them.

"Hey put me down. I can walk myself you know." she protested.

"It's faster this way." he said. She couldn't argue with that. Especially when time was of the essence. She knew just how dangerous the walker could  be. In a few minutes they reached the stone to find their worst nightmare. The cage that once surrounded the stone was gone, and the Walker was lining up two quarters  of a black mirror.

"How did he get those?!" wondered Eddie.

"It doesn't matter. We gotta stop him." said the Gunner as they ran towards him. It was then that it happened. A jet black sphere of darkness shot out, engulfing all four of them along with the Walker and the London Stone. Suddenly they were falling through a dark void.

George was unable to see any of the others. In fact he wasn't able to  see anything. After what seemed like an eternity he felt a small tug. Soon, though, it became harder.  Finally there was a bright flash of light, and he landed on the ground. It was dark once more, but not as much as before.

Now he was able to see. He saw Eddie, the Gunner, and Spout. The bad part was that he also saw the Walker, and the London Stone. It was then that the stone started to crack. It was a small crack at first, but then it grew bigger, and ran all the way down the middle.

"NO!" shouted George. But it was too late. The Stone gave in, and broke in the middle. It was then that a great darkness came gushing out. It headed straight towards the closet thing, which was the Walker. It entered him, and suddenly he started writhing in agony.

This only lasted for a minute, then there was a dark energy surge. The Walker pulled himself up. He looked different now. He was shrouded in darkness, and looked more malevolent than ever. The weirdest thing, though, was that his eyes became like that of a snake's.

He looked down at his own body in amazement. Then he started laughing. More so a cackle actually. It was one Eddie knew well. One that chilled her to the bone. "Amazing." he said, "So much power!" He then stared towards them with what was once a blinded eye, but was now healed. "I will come after you." he said in a chilling tone, "You will die soon, but not now."

With that he just turned and left. Well left wasn't quite the right word. He just disappeared, leaving two stunned statues, and two scared humans behind.

The energy wave didn't only affect George and the others. Someone else felt it too. Somepony else. Luna quickly jolted from her position on her balcony when she felt the energy. It was immense strong. Even stronger than Discords, and filled with malevolence.

She knew exactly what this power was, but it was even stronger than before. So much so that not even her own magic compared to it. It was the energy of Nightmare Moon. She was very scared. Her horn lit up, and she teleported to her sister's room to find Celestia sitting in bed, wide awake.

"Thou has felt it too?" she asked.

"Yes, Luna, I have." Celestia said, "And I never hoped I would again."

"What shall we do?" Luna questioned her sister.

"The only thing we can do. We must go and find the source." Celestia told her.
