: This is a fanfic of my little pony; I usually like to do anthropomorphism, but considering that I am starting a new then why not my online experiences as well. I will try to do it without anthropomorphic ponies, and then I will try it with if I am not impressed. I do not think I’ll succeed in leaving the blood out so... This is the first official work I have done in years so I will first lay claim to my creations… ahem! :

My little pony and its universe are not my copyright but of Lauran Faust. Stardust, Blackheart, Tricky and trickster, Shaman, and T-biscuit, are my intellectual property, as well as the nobodies.

: Okay now where do I continue? …:

……………………………………………………………………………………………………………..

Fluttershy was running her fasted meeting up with the surviving guard, he was bandaged; Fluttershy runs up to him” so where is that brother of mine? He needs me.”

Back in the city Pinky wakes as she is carried to a bed in a medical room at the hospital, she mind is void about the thought of failing her friends. For once she could not smile. Rainbow dash has bandages all over her wings as she walks into the room with applejack; she looks skinnier, and sicker.

“what happened to you?”

“he drained my strength apparently; I am going to be resting in the bed next to you until my strength returns.”

Rainbow dash=I saw your chart, you should be dead, there were nails planted where he had hit you, that is how he beat you in two hits.

Twilight is on a stretcher as Rarity who was lucky enough to go through glass windows instead of the hard wall Twilight endured.

Big-Mac is helping Rarity onto an ambulance, he sees a tiny yellow streak, he sets Rarity down slowly.

Rarity=she’s running after him?

Mac=eeyup.

He starts to walk off” she will return safely.”

She runs off following the yellow pony’s’ tracks

Back where stardust is, he is amazed that she flew to him let alone caught up.

Stardust slows down a Fluttershy jumps on him” oh brother you’ve been gone for so long and I thought you were gone-“

“YOU RELEASED BLACKHEART!”

The mare steps back as her tears start to build up” I’m sorry, I thought it was you.”

Flashbacks seemed to remind her of the lack of interest he had for anypony in Cloudsdale, her being the only Pegasus that he cared for. He seemed to have lost himself after fifteen years in isolation pondering what he did wrong.

Fluttershy feels helpless as her brother walks away” she’s sorry!”

The black stallion turns around” I am only able to do anything because my teacher and only friend up until now was a zebra ghost. He taught me everything I know. I am not mad at Celestia. But I made a promise to make up for the chaos that ensued. I only seek to kill blackheart for now.”

Flutter shy steps up again” let me help you then.”

As the mare starts to cuddle him his thoughts ran blank as he shed his first tear. He hugs the shy pegasus” you have not the courage; you are kind but lack fortitude. If you can muster the will to stand up to your friends, Than you should easily be a match for your enemies.”

“I’m confused.”

“everything I do is from will, you can do anything, it is a shared gift that you need to harness.”

As the older sibling lets go of the younger one the voice leaves her eyes” I can be brave.”

She walks always behind him, expecting to feel warm she instead feels a strange form of concern. She starts to wonder if he was expecting her to fight him instead of blackheart.

As they approach the city of canterlot, all the residents are unconscious as they walk up to the throne.

Fluttershy is able to se into the broken down doors and bares witness to Blackheart as he is chaining up the two princesses, the moonlight shines off of the thin wire, it is tight around the base of the wings.

Stardust rushes with amazing speed cutting the wires before they could cut the wings from the allicorns. This sets off a trap; wires suspend him bringing him into a cocoon of tight sharp wires. Fluttershy runs into the room encountering blackheart, she jumps over him and breaks a hook holding the wire trap into place freeing the black stallion.

Blackheart is yelling manically at the recovering stallion as Fluttershy is kicking away at the chains.

“Hello me it’s I, you, abound to do your dirty work!

But to fall so low as to need rescuing by this foal, you slipped, got weaker, uneasy, foolhardy- a cavalcade of empathic decisions; my one such as we to get caught in such a conundrum- stardust my dearest farewell to myself as I can’t let our dreams fade at the hands of a waste of carbon such as her!”

He dives then at Fluttershy who frees Luna, stardust intercepts blackheart, exchanging blow after blow, and the flow of attacks was fast and hard to witness. Luna releases Celestia as flutter shy waits for an opening to help as stardust delivers a kick from both hooves to the neck stopping blackhearts breathing. He makes a quick recovery then uses magic to summon tricky and trickster, he flees and stardust follows. The twins transform into there allicorns selves, and give chase but are intercepted by the two princesses.

Fluttershy can’t follow stardust and is ordered to flee, she runs to stardust’s battle in the garden. She rounds a few corners and intercepts Big-Mac, to both there surprise she points with her wing and they both continue onwards.

Big-Mac notices a change in her, as if concern for her brother eliminated her fear, but her heart was pounding, her sight was faint for she knew she would a very hard road ahead.

Meanwhile stardust and blackheart are running through the city, bouncing off of walls trying to catch each other, there attacks leaving marks on the moonlit quiet city. Stardust misses a punch and compensates by grabbing the villain in his jaws dragging him to the ground, after slamming him stardust proceeds to trample him. Blackhearts bring his front hoof to the throat knocking him off balance as he conjured spikes to grow from hiss front hooves, from above a dark cloud rains nails onto stardust who is unable to avoid being pin cushioned.

As he is trying to remain on his hooves a large piece of debris flies out from an alley knocking Blackheart off his hooves. Big-mac runs out of the alley with Fluttershy very close, they try to lay the wounded stallion down only to be pushed away.

Blackheart stands and is tackled into a building by stardust” see that cloud Mac!?”

Fluttershy and Big-Mac look around and the only clouds they see are off in the distance.

“Eeyup!”

An explosive smash is heard sending Blackheart across the road and into the bazaar, he step out bearing a column over his shoulder, using an outburst of strength hurls it into the dust where Blackheart landed.

“Before that cloud crosses that full moon I will be in Ponyville with his corpse in a black puddle on my hooves, but not if my concerns for my relatives throw me off.”

Big-Mac nods and takes off with Fluttershy.

Fluttershy=you promise!?

He turns mournfully into the bazaar” I can do anything, as long as they odds are against me.”

He grins impatiently as blackheart reappears as a shadow below him. Caught off guard he is entangled in a mesh of thorns.

Meanwhile Luna and Celestia are matched evenly by the two newer artificial allicorns, their ability to bend matter able to manifest a bluish gem steel to block and slash, diminishing the building below risking casualties. The sisters are back to back as the area above the city is filled with flying blades.

Luna looks back to Celestia, they both nod as Celestia uses a blinding light to distract as Luna flies down into the castle, turning through the halls towards a room with grieves and royal armor used for special occasions” that armor should even the battle a little. Luna snatches her armor, once she throws on her grieves and helm she hears the battle continue.

Celestia manages to grab a chain summoned by tricky upon being swung at, she yanks tricky closer hoofing her in the side sending her down. Trickster with a hammer sends her flying. Luna in a blue streak delivers a blow to tricksters chin sending him away long enough to throw Celestia her grieves” this should help us block there weapons!”

Silence runs through the city, still black with most of the populace out like a light, the moon leaving the area greyish blue as the two allicorns dispel there summoned metal. They both speak in unison” admit it no-one lasts forever, no bridge cannot be crossed something can be done, you two princesses will fall, if we can’t get you from summoning, then we’ll just stomp you two to the ground.”

……………………………………………………………………………………..

Stardust is pushing back the villain trying not to be crushed behind the wall Blackheart was using and the side of the pottery shop, he jumps up and through the hole and over a counter letting the wall slam. Stardust looks around to see there trashing of the city is landing on unconscious civilians.

“I have to get him outside the city.” Just then the villain seeps through the walls into the shop” hello me it’s me again!” in a song tone, he picks up a table and throws it like a disk” you can’t subdue and never hate me.”

Stardust is smacked to the ground as blackheart leaps with a chisel on top of the downed stallion.” Your soft hearts do devastate me.”

Stardust grabs the hoof with the chisel and throws him off, Blackheart swings with a metal pipe knocking him over again.

standing and wore out blackheart taking it in both hands” it gives me a migraine headache!” he lists it over his head” thinking down to your level”.

Stardust reaches for a pot and throws it smashing it in the face of his attacker” well me it’s nice talking to myself.” He said in a demented sarcastic tone” but this situations getting me and my hair is getting thin.” He catches the pipe swung at him he lets out a musical howl as he throws him through the roof ending the music” I hate musicals.”

Blackheart is on the roof” how is he not dying!?”

Stardust yells up through the hole in the roof” you’re my positivity your job can’t be the antagonist!

“SHUT UP!” he points down the hole” you know that that is all metaphorical bull-“

“Fine it’s because you suck, you have no soul so you can were out!”

He conjures his strength and jumps onto the roof” and without something to die for our will is useless, that is will, courage, fortitude.”

Blackheart jumps to his feet” that’s it!”

Celestia and Trickster are exchanges punches and blocks as Luna and tricky are flying everywhere ramming each other on occasion. Celestia ducks Trickster as Tricky is send flying into him, they both stop a few feet from the ground, they pause before Luna releases a dashing attack that leaves bluish glowing rings and dragging debris behind them.

The two sisters ram them in exchange, all four of them are injured after colliding, Celestia has hurt her wing and Luna is worn out.

The silver twins fly up in a corkscrew motion before touching there hooves, the two princes brace themselves before the image, the two being darkened by the moonlight in the background as they expand their wings and prepare to come down hard, time stands still, there hearts beating in unison, as if they had an element of harmony of their own, unity that sets the game in line so that they can never be separated, there allicorn forms were an example of the positive energy now felt flowing out of the two criminals.

Luna=what is this energy.

Celestia= of course when he got sealed his negativity was sealed with, Blackhearts is Stardust’s positivity, because Stardust Drug his negativity with him.

“I sacrificed a good friend and sealed in innocent child, Blackheart is my doing… stardust is destined to kill me, because his positive self became corrupted.”

As Luna deduced it in her head” they’re coming” they hear bones shatter as they feels the force of the two dark allicorns, Luna’s thought flew back to her banishment, her heart felt heavy and her mind filled with a former image of herself, Celestia feels herself land. Celestia is hurt, not as bad, seeing an old image, Luna was blacker and darker with evil aura for a mane, her sinister voice is heard aloud.” Don’t you ever learn you despicable snob!?”

The darker half that was sealed long ago, Nightmare Moon.

Celestia struggles to her feet as her eyes behold the horror, Trickster was on the ground also in shock as Tricky was laying on Nightmare’s horn, the spike ramming through her wing, the darker mare drops the barely breathing mare as she utters a spell, her breath is energy that upon lip contact seems to make the wings and horn fade.

Trickster rushed the black mare and is bucked in the head, Nightmare moon then neighs loudly bring her hooves down upon the unconscious colt” stop it Luna!”

Nightmare moon halts in front of the sighing colt and turns to Celestia now at eye level” it is not that you had to do it, it is that you were too stupid to fix the problem before it got worse.”

The solar mare thought long and hard” if I can find the spell shaman used I could reunite stardust with his positivity.”

Luna changes back from night mare moon” sorry, she kinda took over.”

That’s okay, let’s leave them, I’m sure that when the town recovers they will take care of them.”

The sisters run off leaving the twins on the ground incapacitated.

Stardust and Blackheart are worn down as Blackheart feels a sting in his side.

Stardust grins” did those two fail you?”

Blackheart coughs up blood before falling to the roof; he fades as the corrupt positive emotions return to the angsty stallion. The clouds are what look like a few feet from the moon as the princesses are only able to watch as the energy flows into the replenished stallion.

“Stardust that energy returning to you is corrupt don’t let it seep in!”

Stardust seems normal but his pupils are gone.

“I feel fine don’t worry,”

The sisters look at each other as the scene fades.

……………………………………………………………………………………………………

Meanwhile as the clouds touch the moon Fluttershy is concerned, but is only slightly relieved to see Stardust, however she can tell he is not himself, she whispers something to Mac before rushing to meet him.

“Okay! Okay I just got bounced of walls, bring a nurse first.”

She runs away as Big-Mac meets him” long time no see Star.”

“A thought stuck for fifteen years while trapped in the earth with shaman, what about ‘T’?”

“She is a former scientist, but what happened to you drove her mad. He made an artificial horn; she was watched over by Celestia so she always seems to have resources as a scientist.”

“I see.”

“She is a scientist for Celestia still, and a mad one, however I never hear from her.”

Fluttershy runs up to stardust with a nurse’s hat and a med kit, she gives a happy squeak and starts to examine him.

Stardust lies down and in no time is asleep even as Big-Mac is pulling him in a wagon” I don’t mean to demean you but the middle of the road is not a hospital bed.”

“Oh… that’s fine.”

As they walk into a hospital he gazes upon Pinkie pie for a brief second as she walks into I store” do I know her?”

Big Mac turns toward him with a grin” almost everypony is still here, you may have seen her before.”

He is guided into a back room where he falls asleep.

Fluttershy steps out as Mac heads back to his farmhouse. Twilight, is levitating frames to a building into place as Rainbow dash uses a nail gun to fix the structure into place, Rarity is mourning her boutique lying on her drama couch. Applejack trots up to the busy ponies pulling a cart” ya’ll want some delicious cider?”

The other ponies surround the cart; the juice relieves levels of fatigue before continuing to help repair any damages.  By the end of the day the town was almost done as they painted the parlor back to normal. Fluttershy is trotting alongside stardust whose hind legs are supported by a wheelchair” he should be fine in a week.”

The other ponies smiled as stardust was looking at them in confusion” have we met before?”

Pinkie start panicking” oh my Celestia he has amnesia!” she is next dragging him all over town as he thinks to himself” I remember everypony except these five.”

Deep inside his mind he can feel a mental block.

He looks back as he is drug away by the crazy pink one.

…………………………………………………………………………………………………………..

Next morning he wheels out to the spa while Pinky pie proceeds to point out every little obvious thing” ooh! And this wheel chair! You got into a fight… but you won!”

He thought to himself” told me that five times already.”

As they approach a two mares quickly step out” Stardust!” the pink one with the blue main was aloe and blue with a pink main was lotus. In excitement he rushes to the two mares nuzzling them as Pinkie catches up” you remember them!”

Aloe” every time we got separated he brought us together.”

Lotus” we went to the same classes,”

“Every foal at the time saw him as a hero, but the elders were most neglectful.”

They give him a hug before signaling to follow” anything you need is free.”

He walks into the spa, well decorated blue interior with nice drapes and pink pillows” well you two appear to be doing well.”

Lotus turn to him readying a message table” so how did you get here?”

Aloe= yeah we heard that you ran away into the mountains and vanished.

Stardust thinks for a minute” well there was a wise zebra in the hills that took me in, he taught me everything I know… when he died I came back, but only after being saved by my sister from a rockslide.”

The two girls in unison” you have a sister?!”

“Yes actually, Fluttershy.”

The two girls look at each other in disappointment as he has his head is buried in a pillow his leg casts supported as they apply a tea massage. Pinky pie is well occupied by a top. The two mares are discussing the past fifteen years, the result of that fateful day not only opened hearts and minds, but the anger in Celestia’s eyes as she addressed the town was only forgotten due to the casualties of that night.

Later on he is headed out with Pinky pie as the spa girls’ wave goodbye.

He is wheeled by an exited Pinky onto sweet apple acres” you have a guest mac!”

She stopped suddenly launching the black stallion at AJ, he lands over her shoulder as she turned her head and their lips touched most briefly.

AJ seems to be fine but Stardust is blushing trying not to grin; he is placed back in his chair as AJ gives a glare of doom sending Pinkie back to her bakeshop.

Stardust sighs in relief” thank you!”

Applejack=she means well.

As they converse he can feel his body getting light as he grows sleepier, AJ agrees to take him back to the hospital to rest.

………………………………………………………………………………………………..

It is the end of the week; it seems as if the respect for Fluttershy grew on regards of her returning brother. Fluttershy is given a gift basket as he trots around town revitalized but restless. He stops to look at the sun as he hears two colts talking” did you hear there’s an eclipse coming up.”

He feels a negative vibe, the idea of an eclipse made him uneasy, suddenly a visual flash showing a rather macabre face that resembled his. His heart raced as he turned towards Fluttershys house” I have to get out of this town but first.”

Meanwhile the town is preparing a party regarding the eclipse, Pinky pie twitches like last time, her happy feelings and her poufy hair fall” that shadowy guy, blackheart.”

She runs off, suddenly busting into the library as twilight studies, Luna is still waiting for a bad sign, Pinky pies hair and expression was just that.

Luna walks outside and heads toward stardust as pinkie is being calmed by twilight. Stardust does not find Fluttershy but angel the bunny was there to help him pack food, he is met outside the door by Luna” now is the time, thou must follow!”

As they run out of the city everything grows dark. Stardust’s eyes glow as a pain suddenly erupts from his chest. The black stallion reels in pain as his fur stands on end. Luna is unable to cast a magic that can help him as his body start to mutate, a long sharp ivory horn and a fifteen foot wingspan causes Luna to take a defensive stance. The newer stardust let out a hysterical laughter that once again afflicted the city.

Luna’s last sight was a silver hoof coming at her in slow motion before she blacks out. The town looks in fear as the negative energy emits from the earth filling the corona with a grey glow, the eclipse now laminating the earth in a holy white light, the eerie feeling made them feel no emotion as their eyes grew blank; with exception for Fluttershy and her friends.

The six ponies rush over to the allicorn as Fluttershy cries out” brother no!” the allicorn stardust flies away leaving Luna alive.

“Take Luna! I hath only need for the nightmare moon I now possess!”

He fades into the horizon; the lit world covered in white light was like a purgatory. The six ponies had no idea why they were immune.

Rarity suddenly gets an idea” I remember him foal sitting me a few times, do any of you remember him?”

After they all nod” no? Then again I am three years older about.”

As they walk towards Stardusts location they still ponder about it, twilight says” and besides I was in canterlot at the time.”

They get tired after walking for so long, Rainbow keeps going” while you rest I will go on ahead, I will find him in ten seconds flat.”

Twilight lies down” perhaps it’s best not to go alone, as long as we need all six to use the elements, and we lost last time.”

“Don’t worry this I won’t fight him I’ll just be a locater, so to speak” she shrugs before taking off.”

Pinky pies hair is still flat and she looks grim, her eyes moved towards the other four” my senses say we will be separated anyways.”

As they get to their hooves they start towards were rainbow dash had left off to. A few miles ahead Dashy feels a sudden pain in her side, her eyes caught a glimpse of the black allicorn as he came up at her again. She dodges him and proceeds to fly back to her friends only to be lost in a mist.

Stardust” it is fun being possessed, it makes me feel nothing for those I will kill.”

As she sees the black figure grow closer, she throws a hoof only to wind up in a series of quick attacks, just a little slower than her but dealing a larger tool to the rainbow pegasai. She flies toward the ground, the corrupt allicorn follows her blindly, after dashy turns away sharply he is unable to do the same and hits the earth below, he is weakened but uses his horns’ magic to pull her to the earth. The battle was short but the crash dealt a toll to his wings, the mist clears revealing a large pillar with a series of flying orbs” tonight I will steal the stars and with them rewrite history.”

As he looks up he sees the other five ponies, he turns around and heads into the tower. He looks into a room with a similar pentagram; it had six sides and Rainbow dash on one of the points. At the entrance the five ponies lose sight of each other, they go five separate ways. Twilight sparkle was next to run into the allicorn, his eyes were the only visible part of him as the rest was covered in a black shell. The purple unicorn is pinned to the wall, she counters by poking him with her horn then using her magic to pull a stone block out of the wall and slam it against the allicorn. He gets up with a limp as fires a magical beam, twilight fires hers next matching his. He overpowers the purple mare and puts her to sleep.

Seconds later she is on a point of the pentagram bound like Dashy as he enters a room with Rarity. The white unicorn sees him as he enters a room with a vast sword collection, she grabs a sword in her mouth and figures using magic would only fuel the fire. She sneaks up behind him and swings at him; he blocks with a rapier, rarity then decides to use her telekinesis to wield two cutlasses against the one rapier.

After repeated sounds of clashing metal she knocks the sword out at the cost of her own. She plunges the blade into his wing at the shoulder before being bucked and knocked out. These quick battles had started to wear on him, weakened body, one wing. He is suddenly hit on the skull with a mallet found by applejack, she back away as the cracked horn stops working.

AJ awaits his attack as he tries to retain the screaming burn on his head from the broken bone. Meanwhile Fluttershy is the last one as she is following the constant thud, she gets close enough to hear a very weak plea as she is thrown from above onto the pentagram. The five were laid down with their elements of harmony and Fluttershys was around his neck.

As Fluttershy looks at her battered friends she feels a surge of energy, she rushed recklessly at the allicorn, he still able to fend the pegasus. She is flung to and fro as pinky in a fit of rage bites onto his rear leg and runs him into a wall, he after being slammed slams her onto the ceiling fifty feet above. Pinky was falling towards the possessed. Fluttershy runs at him to stop him from continuing on the incapacitated mare.

Fluttershy was waiting, millions of thought rushed through her. The memories of how he spoke of guarding them and the things he did for them meant nothing as long as his mind was blocked.

She started to get angry” you have no concern for the ponies you spoke of loving oh so dearly, your memory is being held by that negativity.”

Stardust lets out a grin” the one you knew is gone.”

“the one I knew would never harm us or for the most part make such a big mistake.”

“mistake?-oh boy”

He is interrupted as Fluttershy rushes him bringing her rear hooves to his collar and cheek bones, this starts the brawl, each attack happening with speed and precision as the weakened allicorn is surprised as the shy mare is able to keep up. He was injured but being an allicorn should make him unbeatable, through his constant shots to the face he finally staggers. The yellow pony just stood there, as if she was feeding off of the energy he had built up.

As he went to attack again a sudden chill went down his spine, the entire time he was held back, the surge froze him as he laid eyes upon the downed mare. His mind racing back, way before the chaos that ensued.

……………………………………………………………………………………

Sixteen years ago he was trying a job as a baby sitter, running back and forth putting up flyers. He, a few days later, was hired by a white unicorn; he gazed upon the tiny unicorn, no older than five, she was able to walk and talk. He brought a movie and treated it like a slumber party, by eight-o-clock they were both dead asleep.

Next day the same routine, until one night he woke to a screaming foal. As she told of the dream he was unable to stay awake, she snaps her hooves to wake him.

“huh? what?”

“you fell asleep during my sentence, well then it was not serious then… you see a dream is exactly that.”

He cuddles the tiny unicorn as she starts to cry.

“umm… it’s okay.”

“you don’t care!”

“but I do, that’s why I’m here and not at my house.”

After a few minutes of talking in circles they eventually were conversing in their sleep.

A few days later he is running on the clouds as he rushes past an unaccompanied Rainbow dash, he stops to make silly faces as two pegasai were approaching.

A mare and a colt had bought groceries, they watched as he was trying to get the foal to run. He saw the parents so he placed the baby rainbow dash in their arms and took off. Dashy tried to leap out of her mother’s arms causing the father to laugh.

Upon leaping back to earth he saw a pink pony being cradled by her parents, he was puzzled by the brown and grey colors of her family. He runs up to them” it’s pink!”

The father grins” yes it would seem.”

Before they could say anything he pulled a sucker out of his back and put it in Pinky’s mouth, her wide eyes was a strange sign for them but the likes that she was screaming in joy as he took off.

A few weeks later he walks into a clothing boutique, he slides past the owner and borrows a sewing matching, as he tries to sneak out the owner kindly said” bring it back when you’re done.”

He turns around in surprise before walking away.

He later on flies up to Cloudsdale just to run up to the tiny Rainbow dash and play with her in hopes to get the tiny filly to walk, he takes off again right when they show up leaving Dashy in her mother’s arms.

He jumps down again and runs at sound speed to sweet apple acres, he pulls baby AJ in a stroller and brings her to the rock farm Pinky pie is on, he watched as the very young ponies played. Later he went home, as he walked into the house he kissed Fluttershy goodnight and by the next morning he had a scarf that he left on the tiny rarities bed” I’ll be leaving for canterlot for a few days.”

He steps out of her room before she wakes; she looks out the window watching as he disappears in a black streak.

Back in Cloudsdale the tiny blue dashy is running in circle in her crib as he walks into the house, after having a quick word with the parents he leaved a pair of socks behind.

The father looks at him puzzled” socks?”

“her hooves could get cold” he quickly dashes away, as he crosses the cloud city momentum builds as he leaps from the twilit sky, down below Pinky is waving a rattle excitedly as Mack is waking away with Applejack in a stroller” where is he going?”

His memories, the promises he made, he was going to be a great brother for Fluttershy, and he somehow felt his life would tie in with theirs. As he was running he thought about why he does things on an impulse, he was going into the royal city, he knew he wanted to go their but he was but a foal. He just had to however every year.


As his memories races back darkness could be felt leaving past the six, his pupils started to show as his legs grew weak and his brain started to ring in his head. The ponies watched as his wings and horn retracted into nothingness.

“I… remember you, all of you.”

As he pulled himself around and walked into another room they four bound ponies were released, they jumped to their hooves and followed him into the room.

Twilight sparkle is in the front as she feels herself get very tired; she turns to speak as the other five are dead asleep.

“I see this stallion even has memory, as long as you live he will know how to fight back, he is still going to use the missing stars to deliver quite the present to the neighboring nations, in the blackness of night Equestria will be turned on the surrounding nations.”

As he rants and raves she hears pinky talk in her sleep” it’s okay just wait, he will do an evil laugh and it will all be over.”

Twilight yells at her” what I… guhhhh!”

She starts to fall over from exhaustion as the lights go out” why… a war?”

“Why not?”

Twilight sighs as she digs into her mind trying to find an adrenaline spell” because it’s wrong! Billions could die! Equestria is not a warring nation, we’ll… we’ll-“

Stardust reverted back to his allicorn self” what did you think I would do all this for? There are other nations ran by a day and night deity. I will invite there Special Forces to destroy every pony in the higher class, starting with Celestia. Without the stars nothing magical and use them to do any location and prediction magic.”

As twilight’s horn began to glow her and her friends’ sprung to as stardust vanished, they had energy and felt fully vitalized, however were lost. Their confusion and negativity only built up as they were afraid to leave the room, fear overwhelmed them.

As Fluttershy began to talk the silence broke drawing in a sense of relief. She paused and started to look up towards the ceiling, dark and gothic and reflected the emotions of those under it.

“He told me that courage is not being fearless but overcoming great fear and negativity. No matter how much fear he brings only hope and willpower can save him.”

Twilight starts to cheer” yah! If the elements won’t work then perhaps all he needs is to experience a sense of rebellion, he has create a bond with you five that cannot be severed.”

The other four ponies exchange looks from one to another.

Rainbow dash walks past twilight and through the door” I will call out all the stops, he can’t control the weather or fly, and I will fill the sky with clouds.”

Rarity steps forth” he is in there somewhere, I remember all of his weaknesses, I may be able to get under the fake stardust’s skin.”

Applejack runs past and into the next room too” hey I can help too!”

Pinkie pie walks past feeling poufy and happy once again” I can break the fourth wall!”

As twilight and Fluttershy ignore her she bounced behind the other three.

Twilight turns to her in concern” I know should say this sooner but, I feel like I know him too.”

Fluttershy has an epiphany” no… twilight you-“

They are interrupted by the other four calling them; Fluttershy goes quiet as they catch up to the others.


A Victorian mansion with gothic halls and Transylvanian themed décor, in the basement of the giant mansion is a cloaked golden mare” so this memory, you want me to cut it out?”

The black allicorn walked up to her side” yes T- I mean Euphoria, we must be quick.”

She looks over to her surgical stuff” it’s been a long time star.”

The black sky was cloudy as a hooded white unicorn approached the giant doors guarding the interior from the gales. One of the large griffon door knocks sounded out bringing a red horse with a silver mane to the door.

The hooded figure looked up towards the butler; she walks in as a lunar rainbow forms around the already existing. The night sky revealed only the moon for the clouds covered everything. The mare stands in the main hall, her mane is wet and her face is calm.

Outside a yellow Pegasus looks in, her element of harmony around her neck and holding the purple diamond, being Rarity’s, in her mouth. She watches as she goes into the mansion library.

Rainbow dash is looking from above from the clouds waiting. Their hearts and minds were at sync with every movement; they were going to free stardust.

Meanwhile Celestia and Luna lay on the library floor still out of it as twilight is trying a variety of spells on her; none of them seemed to work. Pinkie pie is next to her with a gong, she raises her mallet as twilight takes cover. The loud noise in not enough to revive the princesses.

Applejack trots into the library with a red bottle” okay, here is that mixture.”

Twilight grabs the bottle and pours it into their mouths.

They sit there silent; twilight tilts her head” let me study just a bit more.”

They were going to need the princesses, the curse was weaker but they lost a lot of their power from the white light.

At the mansion Euphoria walks into the library, in front of the fire place sat Rarity. She sits next to Rarity” he is gone, just like myself, were villains now. I have way too many deaths on me belt and he is going to kill your queen.”

Rarity grins” that is why I will defeat you here and free him, his mind is strong.”

She giggles as she walks away, electricity forming around her” I took the parts of his brain out with my magic, he will never remember you.”

Rarity jumps to her feet” how dare you!?”

Just then a window opens behind her and the yellow pegasus carries her across the room and out another window, the scientist meets rainbow dash’s stomping attack as Fluttershy let go.

In the lab he is uncut but he feels a sharp pain in his head, his head covered in a glowing metal mask. The allicorn pushes the helmet off, then rolls of the table in his weakened state” T is gone; her insanity is all that is left.”

He looks in a mirror, he is but a ghost as his other self is roaming without him, still connected it is like his he is nothing more than a subconscious, he was deleted, but not the six he came to love so soon. The allicorn still evil, but the soulless terminator now had no mission. His evil counterpart was returning fast however.

The stars sounded out like struck metal as he walked up the steps, his curiosity about the mad scientist, a though struck the subconscious form of him” I made a villain, a murderer.”

The black stallion replies to his thoughts” just like Celestia making her enemies.”

Still confused as to what is going on he lets his body wonder under control of the darker self, he is watching still connected to his body.

The body roamed while the evil rebooted, on the carpet by the fire lay the white unicorn. Her hair was styled straight and her tail was the same, she gave a look of happiness that melted the heart of the subconscious stardust has the husk walked around her he asked” where is the used to be unicorn?”

Rarity looked out the door” she said something to the butler; they are gone for a few minutes… I was asked to keep you company, that black coat of yours in unforgettable.”

Even through the barrier a slight blush could be seen, she knew he was still in there. Moister began to build in her eyes, the allicorn started to show only the remains of blackheart. Rarity pauses, her heart begins to fill with concern as the allicorn walks up to her; he nuzzles Rarity as his front hoof stops an inch from her belly” I cannot harm you, you six have a bond and only you and Fluttershy are aware.”

Rarity rubs her horn onto his” please explain, I only wish to talk to the brother of mine.”

The black allicorn stands back, the subconscious stardust raises his head; his eyes filled with joy as one tear leaves his eyes. The moisture from the spirits eyes as he raised his head reflected some of the light; she knew that he hears her very well.

She stands up and walks toward him” you can win this, it’s courage, one would think it would be an element of harmony.”

The darker unicorn speaks” yes… if only I could expel this bothersome double.”

Rarity is trying to ignore him, her heart is racing as the allicorn shows more expression, it starts to make an evil grin. He turns towards the unicorn, she does not move as he approaches. He kisses her on the neck” he is no longer attached to his own body.”

She looks up with a similar glare” perhaps wannabe imaginary characters should at least show some class when trying to act real.”

His anger wells up causing him to rush his horn at the unicorn, his body freezes.

Stardusts subconscious can be seen once again leaving the body pulling his hooves back and throwing the allicorn on his back. Rarity walks up and lies beside him” I remember a certain foal that had an abominable will; he can’t be held or interrupted.”

The allicorn slams down with a hoof, Rarity simply lists downward ducking the back hoof, both are still lying on the ground as she smiled at him once more” another concept for an element, I wonder why we have just the five.”

They are motionless for a few moments, the silence broken when the red butler and Euphoria come crashing through the windows. The subconscious looks at the butler who stands up with Fluttershy. The fried mare still, electrified, and motionless looks up at the allicorn” see Fluttershy? We are both lost forever.”

Meanwhile in the library Twilight, Pinky, and Applejack have their elements; a crown and two necklaces, one an apple and the other a balloon ensemble the charms as they watched a glowing white figure rise, the blue figure was already out the door, it was Luna but just an aura, she flew up to the lunar gate that the positivity sucked into. As the moon moved the energy left and the white light vanished, the sky returned but without stars.

The larger white aura that is now Celestia flew away using her magic to levitate the three ponies to the mansion

As the scene fades to the mansion Rarity is talking” …so then the elements will now be able to push not blackheart, but stardust out. You having no soul anymore will die and the allicorn will turn back.”

The allicorn is restored to blackheart” I see; will you forgot two things, I am fully restored now and you need all six of you!”

His dark energy shot from his horn launching Rarity into the fireplace, she catches herself and is now rolling on the ground, her screaming put a terrible pain in his chest, he felt weak from the pain as the butler dragged euphoria out of the mansion.

Flutter was angry, her friend was burning but she could not help as long as the allicorn stood, the weakened allicorn was charged by Fluttershy the yellow pegasus is countered and picked up. She uses her hind legs to grab him around the neck, swinging herself off of him throwing him over a table, his ankle hits the glass table braking it and injuring his leg. Fluttershy then rushes off, suddenly a thick cloth is thrown over the unicorn putting her out, the hole in the cloud is covered as a rainbow flash swoops in aiding Rarity, rainbow dash is wearing her element resembling a cloud.

The other three ponies rush in as the unicorn gets up; he lets out a laughter as he catches his breath” even with this subconscious holding be back I can –“

He is interrupted by a white beam; he lets out frantic wailing as he sees stardust leave his body.

The spirit holding onto the positive aura forming blackheart, the two rivals then twist into each other as they turn into a bright light. The lifeless allicorn was now a black stallion, and the stardust from the past was here once again, as he started to fade the universe began to change back, the clouds lifted and it was morning, the sun had risen itself over Equestria.

The scene fades as the six ponies surround the fallen stallion, tears leave their faces as Celestia leaves them be.

………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

A day later and the body is in a decorated carriage entering the town pulled by the main six. Their faces were lightened as they gazed upon the crowned and dressed princess” when darkness persuades and darkness overwhelms us, it is a key to keep the knowledge of what you still have and not what was lost. It was a dark road for stardust; he had not lost anything more than will, but for a short time.”

The ponies of Ponyville look up at the sky; they are confuse as the sun blinks.

Twilight=Celestia?

Celestia=pinky?

Pinky=I did not break anything this time, the fourth wall is secure.

The other ponies look toward the carriage; it was empty as a guard looked in.

As they looked around for the body a previous feeling of overwhelming negativity swept the city, but it was different, it felt great, it stole their negative feelings.

Fluttershy hears his voice mumbling, she turns towards Celestia who was in awe as the evanescence that is stardust began to form” don’t count me out so soon.”

Fluttershy rushed up to the stallion” oh my how did you return I missed you and I was scared and then there was a white light, and I ran from it and I fought a mad scientist and…”

As she continued to ramble twilight approached him” I have two questions.”

The whole town looks at them” how did you come back, and have we met before.”

The first quest got an immediate answer” funny you should bring that up! You see blackheart was a whole other body, so when he died his evil magic had to wear off before my heart could really start beating, so I followed by body in order to decrease the walking distance. The curse lifted revealing my spirit; you see ‘T’ merely separated us turning me into a medium.”

Twilight tilted her head” so she accidently helped you?”

“no, she actually helped me, she wanted me back but a villain to aid her.”

“I’m still confused.”

“it will come to you.”

Twilight walks up closer as Fluttershy calms down” and me?” he thinks back and starts to become nostalgic” it was twenty three years ago and how I got my mark, I was five at the time and ever since I visited your parents once a year. It all started when mother took me to see the doctor for an appointment …”
