Dusk Shine against Four Mothers

When you thought shit couldn’t get any stranger...

With a small sigh, she held her lion paw out. There was a hesitance there, with her turning to the others. “Are we ready?” Three nods were recieved. She then gave a small smile. “Ready my lovelies?”

Four unsure but slow nods came from the smaller of them. One of them pulled up close. “We can get out, right mommy?”

She leaned down towards her daughter. “If you can help me, then yes. Just like we practiced for months now. Just give momma a little boost and we can go.”

A smile flashed across her daughter's face. “Okay, let’s do it!”

Hearing the confidence she raised her daughter with, she stood up and looked to the others. “Just a little piece from each and we can go back home.” They each readied their magic.

“We’re ready when you are.”

She nodded and turned back. “Okay. Let's get this right.”

Concentrating with all her magic in mind, she held out her paw. The others targeted their magic towards her lion paw and fired what they could at it, causing it to radiate with pulsing magic. Her own daughter held out her own paw in the same way she did.

She looked down at her daughter with the magic radiating from her palm. “On three.”

Her daughter looked up at her with a steady gaze and nodded.

“Okay. One… two… three!” With both palms raised in the air, they both snapped their digits and with a bright flashed, the eight individuals disappeared from their plane.

In Equestria, The Canterlot Castle.

The three Princesses of Equestria were discussing Dusk’s fate before it turned sour.

Dusk Shine met their eyes briefly before looking back down. “I don’t deserve these wings, I don’t deserve this responsibility. You gave me the title of ‘Prince of Friendship’ but I haven’t earned it. Until I do, like Cadence said, ‘I am still helpless’ to do anything.”

Before the three princesses could respond, Dusk charged his horn and teleported away.

He arrived back at his tree house, letting a powerful burst of magic echo in the living room. This caused the current occupant of the house, Spike, who was reading comics upstairs, to jump in startle, hearing the loud entrance, off the bed. “Woah!” A thud was heard from upstairs. Dusk shook himself, feeling some kind of… relieve wash over him and a sense of peace came to his mind.

Something had disrupted his teleport from here to Canterlot, but from what he could tell, looking himself over, he looked and felt fine. A sort of refresh had washed over him. He ignored it… for now.

Dusk looked around before looking up at his bedroom. “Spike?”

There was a soft groan as the purple and green drake got off from the ground and peered over the ledge to their room. “Dusk? You back?”

The newly christened alicorn gave a small grunt in agreement. “Yeah, It’s me.”

Spike came down the stairs and saw his brother, the Alicorn Prince of Equestria… look different in some way. Spike wasn’t sure, for even Dusk wasn’t sure himself. “Uh… Dusk you look… no you seem…” He paused trying to find the words. Dusk cocked his head to him.

“...Changed?” He tried to answer the question himself. Again, there was nothing physically changed though, he wasn’t seeing it but something did seem way different.

Spike tried his best to help his brother. The colors, the horn, the wings, they all remained the same so what changed? But Spike didn’t have a chance to find it, nor did Dusk get a chance to see it himself.

A powerful burst of magic, ripped through the fabric of reality with a bubble formed at the center with electricity sparking and shooting everywhere. Both Spike and Dusk cried out in surprise at the entry, shielding their eyes.

The bubble formed a hot metal oval around it, incinerating an inch in the floor while the bubble burned the air around it. Electricity continued to spark around the bubble until it stopped then slowly faded away.

Once the blinding light faded, Spike and Dusk opened their eyes and their mouths dropped. In the center, in the heart of the burning crater… was the four females that had ruined and tormented his life clouded in foggy smoke. Nightmare Moon, Silhouette, Chrysalis and Eris.

From the crater as well, were four smaller individuals next to each of the females, still hiding in the smoke. Eris stood front and center with a smaller, more purple version of herself next to her. Both were wearing goggles, white coats of some kind and were looking at the arms which held watches of some sort.

Eris lifted her goggles, searching around her area. “Okay, so this ain’t Twin Pines Mall this time, or nor is it Los Pegasus.”

The smaller purple version of herself also lifted her goggles, looking up at her mother with a giggle. “Nope, not this time momma. Though it was cool we went to 2015 to upgrade the Delorean and get the free coats. But going 2029 to add visual and lighting effects for the time bubble was awesome!”

They then focused in front of them, where Dusk Shine and Spike were looking at them all, with wide eyes of raw panic and fear. From the back, Nightmare Moon, Silhouette and Chrysalis moved forward with the smaller ones coming into view.

Dusk was frozen as was Spike, for the shock still hadn’t cleared yet. Nightmare Moon hesitated to step forward but settled to being the first to speak.

“Hello Dusk, it’s… been awhile.” Her voice is calm, sensitive and perhaps, a bit afraid. He still hadn’t responded and their entrance probably didn’t help. Or maybe it was because part of the bookcases had been incarcerated. Eitherway, she pushed past her fear… and saw he had wings now. The others noticed this as well.

Shock came to the four villianesses, but it was quickly broken when a little black alicorn foal came up to Nightmare Moon and looked at him closer before looking up at her.

“Mother? Is that… our father?”

The mare, known as Nightmare Moon gave a soft single nod swallowing at seeing Dusk Shine changed. “Yes my sweet foal, it is him.”

Chrysalis came up to her left where a changeling was by her side. Silhouette was next with a black unicorn by her side and Eris allowed her daughter to transform into her pony form.

All eight creatures stood before Dusk presenting him with a horrible revelation. “Dusk, these are our foals. They are… yours as well.”

Dusk and Spike hit the floors with thuds, blacking out.
