DoF Prologue - The Beginning
Luster Dawn's Journal: Entry Number 0 -Catch Up
Hi, my name is Luster Dawn. Allow me to bring everyone up to speed on what's happened in my life up to this point so no one is confused.
A few years ago, I was born as the daughter of Sunburst and Starlight Glimmer and didn't really care about making friends. But now? Now I couldn't imagine life any other way. Sure, I was friends with another pony (a young colt) named Molson, but I had a Kirin friend named Summer Breeze, a Griffon friend named Kale, a yak friend named Namu, and a changeling friend named Chitin. The six of us thought nothing could challenge our friendship.
Well remember how before the Battle of the Bell the lord of chaos Discord impersonated the ancient tyrant known as Grogar? Well the real one showed up shortly after I was getting along with my friends. The King of Monsters then proceded to team up with Sombra and start mind controlling a few people with some red gem. But together with my new friends and some help with the Young Six as they were referred to, we destroyed the Red Gem and made Grogar flee, but he wasn't done there.
About a month later, Grogar came back, this time with a whole new hord of monsters and he had his bell once more. He then used the power of his bell to bring Cozy Glow, Tirek, and Chrysalis back from stone for round three. At least, that was his plan. Ironically, the later two decided not to take sides, not wanting to aid in Twilight's victory but didn't want to be turned back to stone. As for Cozy Glow however, she decided that while she wouldn't like helping Twilight, she decided that after this, she would at least try things Twilight's way. However, as me and my friends fought Grogar despite our differences, Cozy Glow's heart changed. She no longer saw Friendship as the power tool she thought it was. Through us, she saw the bonds we had formed in such a short time, and decided she was willing to help. Thanks to her, Grogar was defeated once and for all alongside the new monsters he had created.
Tirek left shortly after; deciding to at least seek out his brother if nothing else. Only afterwards would he decide what he would do. As for Chrysalis...well she decided that she would try making a new hive on her own. No one has heard from her since then. But as for Cozy Glow? Because her parents were long dead at this point, she opted to stay with Twilight at Canterlot and try things Twilight's way. She did help, if nothing else so everyone was willing to let her have a chance.
A few weeks ago though, during one of the visits from Princess Twilight, she was given a package to deliver to Cozy Glow in regards to her mother. I was told through letters (and yes, Cozy Glow and I are pen pals. She decided that at the very least to learn from my experiences as I wrote Twilight letters) that inside was a single blue jewel fashioned into a necklace. In the attached letter, Cozy Glow was told that her mom received the necklace and was told that it came from an angel. Now, in the wake of her actually being pardoned, she was given the necklace. Cozy Glow has even told me something strange: Anytime Cozy Glow forms a bound with someone, the necklace is lit with a mysterious blue light and with a small bit of energy, gives a temporary link between Cozy Glow and the new person. Cozy Glow suddenly became super popular after this, and she was loving it. She was just being herself without being manipulative. She was finally embracing Friendship.
...
And then he came...
The Devil came. He came without warning.
And he was not going down without a fight.
But I'm getting ahead of myself. That's for another time.
My Little Pony: Dawn of Friendship
Season 1, Episode 1: Demon Devil Part 1
Luster Dawn Journal: Entry Number 1 - The New Threat
It's no secret that time was taking it's toll on Princess Twilight's Friends. Yet, she was not going to be sad; she said she'd see them again some day, even if that day is long into the future from now. And time seems to be running out for one of Twilight's Friends. Specifically the local animal caretaker, Fluttershy. But she has two daughters, one of which is currently at home with her coltfriend; a reformed changeling named Mothball. He and Screwball; the daughter of Fluttershy and Discord who is still in ponyville; have been together since before the changling reformation. Not sure how THAT works. Still trying to wrap my head around it, okay? It's already crazy enough having to know that that unicorn is the daughter of Discord. DISCORD! You know, the Lord of Chaos and all that?
I'm going on a tangent in my own journal now. Great. Next thing you know, they'll call it "Luster-ing" just like how whenever my mentor; Princess Twilight Sparkle herself; starts panicking and being obsessive, they call it "Twilight-ing". That's never going to get out of my head. Also, I'm starting to devolve into another tangent in my own journal again, so I'll just stop myself here before this gets out of hand. Trust me. The less said about all this the better.
So anyways, yes, Fluttershy has two daughters, but the other one has been away after Discord had that whole thing with all of Twilight's friends. And trust me, the less said about that is for the better. But Fluttershy is running out of time. And not just because she's getting old. No. There's a storm coming, and it's headed for Fluttershy.
Remember that devil I mentioned earlier? Well he had this minion. Can I call him a minion? Twilight says I could, as that's essentially what Slade was: A minion. A small fish preparing us for the giant whale. Slade had managed to sneak into the Castle of Frienship where mother and father were staying just to kill one of the various staff members there. But the scene of the crime. Oh sweet Celestia above, that crime scene. It's best I don't write what that crime scene was like as the less I have to think about that the better off I'll be. And the less sick I'll feel. Even just thinking about it reminds me of just how much of a monster Slade was underneath.
Regardless, speaking of Slade, me and my friends managed to confront him and started to battle against the mysterious creature (not even sure what he was; defiantly NOT equestrian) while he was at Canterlot to stop him from going after someone there. Probably Spike, the Princess's own friendship ambassador. But me and my friends combined our efforts and we managed to defeat him. Though he vanished in a puff of what looked to be dark magic before we heard this evil cackle.
It was him, it was the devil. It was the one known as Astrotal Mondoli. This demon hated mortals, and wanted nothing more then to kill us all. And he was heading straight for Fluttershy's house as soon as Cozy Glow picked up on his energy signal. On the way there, we ran into this Unicorn Twilight knows as Sunset Shimmer. She said she's decided to come back to Equestria for good. I'm not entirely sure what that's about, but that's probably something for me to keep in mind for later.
As we approached Fluttershy's house, we heard someone shout out "no" over and over again. Once we were inside, we found Fluttershy's lifeless body. With some help from Sunset Shimmer, we found out that Fluttershy died in peace, and had managed to pass on before Astrotal Mondoli had gotten there. Well that's some small comfort. But now, we need a plan to end this nightmare. And it's up to me and my friends to come up with one.
My Little Pony: Dawn of Friendship
Season 1, Episode 2: Demon Devil Part 2
Luster Dawn's Journal: Entry Number 2 - Dawn of Friendship
It's worth noting that when Astrotle Mondoli was going after Fluttershy, a storm brewed above the yellow pegasus's house. But once he left, that storm cleared up in a nano-second. I thought to mention this sooner rather then later. Why do I need to mention this now? Because it's important now. I thought it was just odd coincidence that last time, but now that the same exact storm's showed up again over the house of another of twilight's friends? Yeah it's safe to say that it's a signal at this point. And Astrotal Mondoli is going after Rarity next. I won't let that happen. I may be going up against this guy by myself, but I just have to remind myself of something my friends told me.
"No matter how far apart we may be by distance, we'll always be side by side no matter what."
As I stood there in the now darkened Ponyville Boutique, those words stuck with me the most out of everything that was said to me. And you want to know why? Because they were true. They were as true as how empty this place feels with Rarity and everyone else that was inside evacuated into the castle for the time being. That demon devil is not going to harm anyone if I have anything to say about it. Rarity deserves to go out HER way, and not by the way of some sick twisted monster. Because that's exactly what Astrotle Mondoli was to me: A very sick and very twisted monster. Grogar and Sombra were bad, but this demon devil? Oh he was much, much worse. I dare even say that he was on a whole different level. during my studies, I came across something that could best describe Astrotle Mondoli.
"Eldrich Horror"
According to what I've managed to read about these Eldrich Horrors, they are pure monsters. From what I was able to read before Astrolte Mondoli's storm arrived for the second time, they are pure monsters; they care for nothing but themselves. And that's something far worse then Tirek or Chrysalis anyday. But then another passage about these Eldrich Horrors had captured my attention. Apparently, even if brought to a point where it would seem like one more attack would kill them, even if that attack is made. Nothing would change.
The Eldrich Horror would just return in a new form, in a new place, and in a new way. Something that could constantly be a threat like Astrotle Mondoli was something that I meant to bring up with Princess Twilight that day the storm occured. Sadly, as you can guess, because of that storm, that was pushed aside for now. Let's return to the scene shall we?
So yeah, there I was in the middle of the Ponyville Boutique. Rarity, Sandbar, and Yona were all cleared out. Thankfully, Sweetie Belle was actually having a sleepover at the Apple Family farm with her Crusader friends plus Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon. Those six mares have so little in common, what with two of them coming from very rich families, but they've made their friendship last. I'll have to ask about that sometime later. Maybe I'll learn something that could help me become a better friend.
But for now, I was waiting. Yeah, I know I'm doing a lot of remising here, but I had to do something to pass the time while I wait.
...He's here. It's time.
**END JOURNAL ENTRY**
Luster Dawn let out a sigh as she ended her journal. It was time. She went down stairs just as Astrottle Mondoli entered the door. "It's a bit quiet here...too quiet." The demon in question said. Suddenly Luster used her magic to close the door behind him and turn out the lights.
"Looking for someone?" Luster asked.
"What the...who are you?!" Astrottle Mondoli asked Luster.
"My name is Luster Dawn. And you won't be killing anyone so long as I draw breath." Luster said.
"Challenging me alone? That's not very smart of you." Astrottle Mondoli said. Suddenly a glow occurred from Luster. "What is this?!" The demon questioned.
"I may be alone, but no matter where me or my friends my be...there is one thing that will continuelly bind us together. And that, is the magic of friendship!" Luster said before fighting Astrottle Mondoli head on. Try as the devil demon might, Astrottle Mondoli was no match for Luster Dawn.
"I don't understand...you are a mere mortal..." Astrottle Mondoli said.
"Like I said...even when I may be alone, I will never really be fighting alone. So long as I have the greastest spell there is: The magic of friendship!" Luster said and suddenly fired one last laser as the devil demon, vaporizing him and sending him back where he came from. It was over now. The battle has been won. And life moves on...

My Little Pony: Dawn of Friendship
Season 1, Episode 3: Enter the CMC
Luster Dawn's Journal: Entry Number 3 - Enter the CMC
Cutie Marks. That's what we ponies call them. Sure, it's a feature exclusive to ponies and ponies alone; but none of my non-pony friends seem to mind it much. They are always telling me "it's just another thing that makes ponies special" or something along those lines. And I guess I can understand their point of view: Griffons are very combat oriented, Changelings can transform into whatever they want, Yaks are very strong, Dragons are prideful, and Kirin will turn into fire demons when angry. Believe it or not but I've managed to learn of the various perks regarding each of my friends. ESPECIALLY Summer Breeze. Because let me tell you, when she is in her fire demon form, she will make sure you regret EVER pissing her off. Even though dragons are immune to fire, Summer Breeze tends to use more melee attacks in her demon form then fire attacks. So even Dragons know it's better not to anger Summers. Yeah. I actually call her Summers. Me and my friends are the only ones who get to do that. If only because we get her.
Back onto Cutie Marks though, believe it or not, but I don't remember WHAT I was doing when I got mine. It's all a blur to me. Thankfully for me, my mentor told me that I should find a group of very special ponies called the Cutie Mark Crusaders to learn more. Not sure who they are, but they told me where they like to hang out. So, here I am, just outside their clubhouse. Wish me luck.
End Journal Entry
As Luster Dawn put her journal away, she gave a knock on the door of a somewhat large clubhouse. A yellow earth pony mare soon answered the door. "Who are ya, stranger?" The yellow mare asked.
"My name is Luster Dawn. I was told by Princess Twilight to come here to find the Cutie Mark Crusaders for some...cutie mark help." Luster Dawn said.
"If that's the case, you've come to the right place!" The yellow mare said, quickly ushering her inside. "Look out Crusaders, we got ourselves a new client!" The Yellow mare said before shutting the door behind her. The place was VERY big, and was littered with all kinds of drawings of various activities.
"Hey, isn't that Princess Twilight's new student?" A white unicorn mare at a very big table asked.
"I think your right Sweetie; it's her." A pink earth pony mare said, also at the very same table.
"Chill you guys. We need to be nice." An orange Pegasus mare said.
"Most certainly." A gray earth pony mare said.
"So...who are you guys?" Luster Dawn asked once the yellow mare sat down next to the unicorn of the group.
"I'm Applebloom." The yellow earth pony started.
"I'm Sweetie Belle." The Unicorn said.
"Scootaloo!" The Pegasus said.
"Diamond Tiara." The pink earth pony said.
"Silver Spoon." The gray earth pony said.
"And we make up the Cutie Mark Crusaders." Applebloom said. Luster Dawn blinked.
"Huh? Princess Twilight said there'd only be three of you..." Luster Dawn said.
"Me and Silver Spoon help out; our families are pretty rich so we tend to use our funds to help out the Cutie Mark Crusaders whenever a client shows up." Diamond Tiara said.
"Basically, we handle the expenses side of the crusaders; Applebloom, Sweetie Belle, and Scootaloo are the ones who do any of the actual crusading." Silver Spoon added in.
"Ah..." Luster Dawn said. "I suppose that makes sense." She added.
"They may not be actual crusaders, but they do help out in their own special ways sometimes." Sweetie Belle said.
"Yeah. Things have become much more mainstream for us ever since they started helping out." Scootaloo said.
"Plus...actually...probably not the place for any admissions of love..." Applebloom said, growing a blush as she looked at Diamond Tiara who blushed back while wearing a smile.
"So anyways...what seems to be your problem?" Diamond Tiara asked.
"The fact that...I don't remember what I was doing when I got my cutie mark..." Luster Dawn said. That caused everyone in the room to gasp.
"I...I think that's a first..." Scootaloo said.
"Let me go check the records." Silver Spoon said.
"No need. I know this is the first instance." Sweetie Belle said.
"What makes her so sure?" Luster Dawn asked.
"Because ah know it for a fact as well." Applebloom said.
"Well nothing for it. We'll probably be at this for several days, if not weeks!" Silver Spoon said.
"Yeah. Which is why I propose until this whole cutie mark problem is resolved, the five of us move into where you are staying or at least somewhere close by." Diamond Tiara said.
"...Well...moving to where I'm staying won't be a problem..." Luster Dawn said. "I just hope none of you are going to be scared..." She added.
"What would be scary about where your staying?" Scootaloo asked.
"Yeah. What she said." Sweetie Belle said.
"Ah agree." Applebloom pointed out.
To be continued
My Little Pony: Dawn of Friendship
Season 1, Episode 4: History of the CMC
Luster Dawn's Journal: Entry Number 4 - History of the CMC
Applebloom, Sweetie Belle, and Scootaloo. Those are the names of the Cutie Mark Crusaders. Sure, Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon help out, but the real CMC are the three mares I've mentioned. One is the younger sister of Applebloom. One is the younger sister of Rarity. And the other is the surrogate sister of Rainbow Dash. That's three of the elements of harmony; which have long since been destroyed by the evil King Sombra; right there. Even if the elements themselves have been destroyed, their values and ideas have been adopted across all of New Equestria. Oh, did I forget to mention that earlier? Yeah, after the infamous "Battle of the Bell", all the kingdoms decided to band together under one banner, with rulers for the various creatures from across the continent. After thinking it over, the new continent was named "New Equestria" and the name has stuck ever since.
But regardless of if your a pony, a changeling, a dragon, a griffon, a hippogriff, or even a Kirin, one thing is true to all: If your ever in need of some identity help of any kind, the CMC has got your back. At least that's what I learnt after today. Serious history lesson incoming.
End of Journal Entry
Luster Dawn guided the CMC to the Friendship Castle. "Oh...that's why you said moving in wouldn't be a problem." Diamond Tiara spoke first.
"Why did I have a feeling it'd be this?" Scootaloo asked.
"Probably because Luster is Twilight Sparkle's student." Sweetie Belle answered.
"Wonder if the map room is available for us to chat in." Silver Spoon said. "We do have a history of the CMC to go over before we get started after all." She said.
"Yeah. We give the same history speech to everyone. Ah'm almost thinkin' we should write it down somewhere." Applebloom said.
"We have. Trust me, we have. We just lost the paper and still haven't found it." Diamond Tiara said.
"I told you, I was sorry." Silver Spoon said.
"We know." Diamond Tiara said. The group entered the map room.
"Well your in luck: My mother and father are away for the weekend. Some sort of 'romantic getaway' as they put it." Luster Dawn said.
"Right, then let's get right into it. The CMC was started by me, Applebloom, and Sweetie Belle back when were markless." Scootaloo said.
"We did everything we could to get our cutie marks, but at one point, we came across this one pony named Trouble Shoes. He was given a cutie mark that showed off his unlucky nature: An upside down horseshoe. But Trouble Shoes really wanted to be a part of the rodeo." Sweetie Belle said.
"So, we gave Trouble Shoes the idea of becoming a Rodeo Clown. That was when we had our first instance of dealing with someone having an identity problem." Applebloom said.
"But then, one day, it was the school election for the class president. Pip; a pony from trottingham; was one of the canidates. Diamond Tiara was the other. In the end, Pip won the election, and Diamond Tiara was devastated." Silver Spoon said.
"Yeah. My mother was not happy about it to say the LEAST. When that occurred, I realized just how dark my life was becoming." Diamond Tiara said. "So I sang a song about wishing to be somepony else, and the CMC heard it. That's when they helped me out." Diamond Tiara said. Suddenly music.
We'll Make Our Mark: Diamond's Verse
Cutie Mark Crusaders I've got something I need to say...
I was heading down a path that was leading me astray.
But now I've changed my ideas.
You helped me see I care.
I'm going to show the world how much I have to share.
You've made your mark...
And showed me a better way.
You've made your mark...
Helped me see how I could change...
All I thought I ever knew, of my cutie mark
The music died down. "That...was beautiful DT." Applebloom said. Diamond Tiara blushed.
"Th-thanks AB..." Diamond Tiara said. "You should be able to get the gist of how they helped me from what I sang." Diamond Tiara said.
"Yeah. I think I can figure that much out." Luster Dawn said.
"Thanks to the CMC, I was able to become my better self, stand up to my mother, and make up with my best friend Silver Spoon." Diamond Tiara said.
"That was when we realized we had so much fun helping other ponies discover their true talents." Scootaloo said.
"And thus, after coming together in that moment with the same thought, we were given our cutie marks." Sweetie Belle said, showing off hers. "Sure, their identical to a degree, but that's what binds us. Our special talent all along was helping others discover what makes them so special." She said.
"Yeah. We even once got summoned by the map for a friendship problem involving a hippogriff who had relatives both on land and in the sea. We managed to help him realize that he can continue being a flipper between sea and land." Applebloom said.
"And that's when it hit us like a ton of bricks: It's not just ponies who will need help with their identity problems, but other species too." Sweetie Belle pointed out. "Thus, we branched out. We've even helped a few Kirins along the way, including this one Kirin who had similar issues with his identity as the hippogriff: He liked being both his natural Kirin state and that other state. I forget what it's called." She added.
"All the same...that's when me and Diamond Tiara decided to help out." Silver Spoon said. "We figured that with our pockets and their talents, there wouldn't be a problem we couldn't handle together." She said.
"Yeah. Me and Silver Spoon may not be part of the actual Cutie Mark Crusaders, but that doesn't mean we don't contribute towards the CMC in our own ways. Heck, I once was able to help out with a griffon who was pretty much just like how I was. I really was able to get him and his problems because of it." Diamond Tiara said. "Which is when I realized, I could use my background and my own skills as a motivator to help out the CMC when they need it." She added.
"This gave me a lot to think about. Thanks. It's getting late. I suggest you get settled in." Luster Dawn said.
TO BE CONTINUED...AGAIN
My Little Pony: Dawn of Friendship
Season 1, Episode 6: Cozy Beginnings
Author's Note
This is a Cozy Glow chapter; this chapter takes place during "Demon Devil" and is first person. Every now and again, there will be some of these Cozy Glow chapters that will pop up that will explain away any confusion some might have regarding Cozy Glow's reformation in this story.
Season 1, Episode 6: Cozy Beginnings
I yawned as I stretched my hooves. Wait...that doesn't seem right. I sit up on the bed I was sleeping in and did my best to recall the events that have happened so far. Let's see here...
Got released from stone by the real Grogar. Okay...check. Then decided not to get involved in the battle at first but wanted to see what Twilight's version of friendship was like. Okay...that seems right. Saw two ponies alongside four creatures fight Grogar and managed to gain the upper hand despite their differences so I decided to join in. Well at least my memory isn't jumbled. But as for why I'm suddenly in a bed...
Oh wait, I remember now: I decided to stay in canterlot with Twilight until I figured things out. That must be why I'm being so confused right now and that this must be the day after the battle against Grogar and his monster horde. Hard to believe that happened yesterday, but I have a feeling there'll be more where that came from. Suddenly, my door opened and a unicorn with a broken horn but with royal guard armor stepped in.
"Oh...forgive me. I was just making sure you were awake." The unicorn mare asked me. Pretty sure I've seen her before. Oh wait, she was there alongside a group of ponies and creatures in what historians are referring to as "The Battle of the Bell". Never got her name though.
"It's alright um...I apologize but I don't know your name." I said. Best start somewhere I suppose.
"I'm Captain Tempest; my full handle is really Tempest Shadow but...your not on good enough terms with me for that. After all, you did threaten equestria. Twice. But for Twilight and because your willing to change, I'm overlooking that. For now." Tempest said.
"R-right...look, I'm new to doing friendship Twilight's way. So...at the very least can we stay in touch?" I asked. Even if she says no, I at least wanted to throw the option out there. A few minutes passed by without Captain Tempest saying a single word.
"...I suppose we can. Just know your being monitored at all times." Captain Tempest finally broke the silence. Well it's something.
"Cut me some slack here...I'm trying. I really, really am." I said.
"It may be that way on the surface, but others will not forgive you so easily." Captain Tempest said.
Well she was right about one thing: This wasn't going to be easy. For the first few days, I did my best to try and get others to open up to me. It didn't work out. I was starting to wonder if there was no point if I couldn't even do things Twilight's way. That's when this stallion approached me. His name was Azure Flame, and he actually reached out to me just before lunch one day. Finally, my first real connection. For the rest of the day, I decided to hang out with Azure Flame as a way of showing that I really am doing my best here.
To say it worked would be an understatement. The next day, Princess Twilight gave me this blue pendent. I was approached by a mare within the canterlot walls shortly after breakfast and putting the pendent on. Turns out the pendent belonged to my birth mom. This mare chatted with me for a bit, and after a while, the mysterious pendent briefly had a blue glow emit and form a string between me and this mare I had formed a bound with. But nothing really happened. It confused us both. "...I wonder if it means we'll always be connected, no matter what." I said; trying to make light of the situation.
To say that my one line suddenly made me very popular, would be an understatement. Now that there was something that could show the bounds I was attempting to form, more and more people started to approach me, introducing themselves and asking me simple questions. Every time after that first link, whenever my bounds with someone grew stronger, the necklace tended to glow a bit. People took this and my statement as a way of showing that the necklace has to be some sort of artifact that can allow me to have a representation of my bounds.
After finishing up a letter to Luster Dawn just a bit ago, Captain Tempest had arrived at my room. "Didn't take you long to start figuring out the reality of friendship, did it?" Tempest said. I smiled at her.
"And I think I'm actually enjoying this. Maybe when the next threat after Astrottle Mondoli comes around, I can bring my new friends along for the ride and together we can show the next villain how we handle their kin here." I said. Tempest gave a chuckle.
"You really think there will be another villain at some point huh?" Tempest asked.
"This is New Equestria; if everything was sunshine and rainbows all the time, then we wouldn't need to be reminded of how great we have it here." I said. "Trust me, there will be another villain. There always will be. But at least there will be people like me, Twilight, and Luster Dawn who will stand up for our world and our ideas." I added. Tempest looked at me.
"...For such a young filly, you seem to have these moments of deep thought." Captain Tempest said.
"Yeah I still don't know where stuff like that even comes from in my mind. But I've learnt from making bounds here that everyone has their quirks. Mine just so happens being a former villain and saying things that are way above my age range of knowing." I said.
"All the same. I was wondering if...perhaps...you'd be willing to hang out whenever I'm off duty." Tempest said. I looked at her.
"You actually want to join in on my friend club?" I asked. We both laughed at that.
"My only question is if I have to tell you my real name before I join up." Tempest said, joking back. I giggled.
"Only if you want to. I'm not going to force you." I said. Tempest smiled and started leaving.
"Then I will tell you some other time." Tempest Shadow left.
I can safely say that perhaps I was only seeing one half of how friendship works. Friendship might still have power behind it somehow, but there is something magical about it too. In that sense, me and Princess Twilight were both right. And I can live with being half right, if it means I can keep this blue pendent.

Season 1, Episode 7: CMC & Luster
Luster Dawn's Journal: Entry number 5 - The CMC and me
Yeah not much to put here that wouldn't basically spoil my entire day. Seriously, read on.
Throughout the next few days, the CMC and Luster did everything that they could think of in relation to Luster's mysterious talent. But whatever it was that luster was good at, the best any of them could come up with was doing spells. Which isn't really that special when Luster's mom and Princess Twilight Sparkle could both do magic. "I wonder if Luster's special talent might be similar to Twilight's in that she could be really good at making friends and doesn't yet realize it?" Diamond Tiara suggested.
"Could it really be that simple?" Apple Bloom said.
"You never really know though. That's the funny thing about cutie marks sometimes." Silver Spoon said. "Don't forget, Diamond Tiara had some trouble hers." She said.
"How could we forget?" Sweetie Belle asked.
"Yeah. Helping her is what led us to discover our true talent." Scootaloo said.
"Must be pretty special then. I mean, when you really think about it, the three of you are good at all talents." Luster Dawn said. The squad of five looked a luster. "What? It makes sense. If you don't know enough about any given talent, how are you supposed to help others out with their talents?" Luster Dawn asked.
"...She's right..." Silver Spoon said. "Don't ask me how, but she's right..." She said.
"I get the same exact feeling..." Diamond Tiara said.
"Ah suppose that would make a lot of sense. Ah mean, we did try so many different things getting our cutie marks after all." Apple Bloom said.
"Yeah. And when we finally came together in the way we did, everything clicked." Sweetie Belle said.
"Which only makes us all the more awesome!" Scootaloo said. Luster smiled. This was a good day.

Season 1. Episode 8: Getting Cozy
Author's Note
Cozy Glow chapter incoming! This one takes place during the CMC chapters Like before, this chapter is told from Cozy Glow's POV.
Season 1. Episode 8: Getting Cozy
I wake up with a yawn and stretch my legs. I quickly put my special necklace on and head over to the kitchen for breakfast. Now that I've become more accepted and forgiven for the things I've done around here, people are more at ease around me, but still on guard. Some of these people think this is another plot of mine. But it isn't. The note my mother gave me told me to try and make friends. I suppose if nothing else, I should honor my mother's wishes. Besides, I have no reason to want to try a third take over. I know they say third time's the charm, but I don't believe in superstitions like that. Then again, this is my third time around.
But I can say up front I have no evil plan this time running in the background. Instead, my plans for the today might shock Twilight. See, today, I plan on going to Ponyville and seeking out my mother's house. I want to pay my respects for not being there when she died above all else. I told Twilight about this at breakfast. Also in case anyone asks, I've even become close to the Princess herself, and she insists I only call her Twilight. "I suppose that would be fair. But I insist a few guards go with you. More so for your own protection rather then for the protection of Ponyville. The Ponies in Canterlot may have forgiven you, but they have not. It is where the School of Friendship stands after all." Twilight said.
"I know that, Twilight. But I really feel like this is something I have to do." I told her. Twilight gave me a nod.
"Don't worry, I understand." Twilight said. I gave a smile.
"Thanks for that, Twilight." I told her.
I was flown to Ponyville via chariot shortly after breakfast. It would not take me long to find my mother's home. Sure it was empty and on the market, but I was not going to buy this house. I don't deserve to live here. At least not yet. Not until I feel like I've earned it. Still, at least being in the house would give me an idea of where my mother had lived. Believe it or not, but I never knew my father. I was raised by my mother alone; whenever I would ask about my father, she would always say that he was always so busy so I never saw him when I was awake. But I've grown old enough to know that was a lie. The reality has to be that he and my mother simply divorced. There was no reason for her to sugar coat it. Regardless, I was more mad at my mother when I joined the School of Friendship then I was at my father for divorcing her. My mother was always trying to shove friendship down my throat. It was sickening. Funny thing is, now I'm actually enjoying making friends. On my own terms too. Maybe that's what I was missing the whole time, was needing to make friends on my own terms instead of someone else's. Maybe then I would've never been thrown into Tartarus or turned to stone for that matter. That last one was a wake up call. Big time.
As I stood in my mother's old house pondering this, I noticed a stallion enter. "Oh?" He said looking at me funny. "I'm sorry for disturbing you miss. I'm the one in charge of selling this house." He said. The stallion wasn't much to look at, he was blue with a few green accents; his cutie mark was also that of a house so he must be the realtor.
"Do you know about the mare that lived here?" I asked him.
"Yes. I do. The question is, do you?" He asked me back. I nodded.
"I did. Once. Feels like a lifetime ago." I said. "Truth of the matter is, I'm her daughter but...I don't deserve to live here." I said. The Stallion had trotted over to a button. The stallion in question was also a Unicorn.
"...Your the mare's daughter huh..." He said. "Then that must make you Cozy Glow, yes?" He asked. I flinched. How did he know my name?
"You knew about me?" I asked. The stallion nodded.
"Tell me...what did your mother tell you about your father?" The stallion asked me, hoof hovering over the button.
"She told me that he was always busy and that's why I never saw him. But in reality, I think she was covering the fact that the two of them were divorced." I said.
"She never divorced your father." The Stallion said.
"And how do you know that?" I asked. Suddenly the stallion pressed the button. As soon as he pressed the button, the back wall of the house went away to reveal what looked to be a changeling made area of the house.
"...Because Cozy Glow..." The stallion said before a green flame enveloped him. As it turns out, the stallion was a reformed changeling; and he was blue with red accents. "...I am your father." He said.
My eyes went wide in shock and realization as everything finally clicked in my head. Everything suddenly made sense to me. Why I had wanted power so badly. Why I had done the things I did.
As soon as the changeling said those words...Everything clicked.
TO BE CONTINUED!

Season 1, Episode 9: Cozy Origins
Author's Note
This is a cozy glow chapter told in the point of view of Cozy Glow herself, and takes place right after Episode 8.
Season 1, Episode 9: Cozy Origins
Four words.
That's all the male changeling in front of me needed to say to get me to understand everything.
Those four words...they changed everything for me.
"I am your father."
That is what he said to me.
"But...but how...why?" I asked, confused.
"Because Cozy Glow...your mother thought it'd be best if she told you once you were old enough. But she died and you did bad things before she could tell you about yourself. Such as the fact that you aren't just related to ponies..." The Changeling said. "But also, that you have changeling blood in your genes." He added. "My name is Firefly; like the bug that lights the night sky. Your mother fought it'd be fitting to name you 'Cozy' after your great grandmother, and 'Glow' to reference the actual bugs called fireflies." The Changeling explained.
"So...then your really my father then..." I said. "...Suddenly everything makes sense. If my father was a changeling that explains my need for power." I added.
"The potential was there yes, but you acted on that potential of your own accord. Me being your father had nothing to do with it by itself. If you had found true friendship...you wouldn't have gone down such a dark road." Firefly said.
"I've only just now discovered true friendship...how do I know what I'm feeling in regards to friendship is right?" Cozy Glow asked.
"At one point in your life, you'll have to find out the answer for yourself. I can only say this: You don't have to find that answer of your own accord. Talk with your new friends, check to see how they feel about friendship, and then form your own opinions. Just remember to be you. Friendship can only be true if you are the you you let others see." Firefly explained. I gave a soft smile.
"Thanks for that...father." I said and turned to leave. "I'll try to keep in touch." I said as I left.
"I will as well...my daughter." Firefly said to me as I left. I am half-pony, half-changeling.
And I am okay with that.

Season 1. Episode 10: The Mirror Part 1
Author's Note
The following story ark is based on a story called "The Other Side" by Hope Fox. I recommend seeing the story here: The Other Side - Fimfiction
Season 1. Episode 10: The Mirror Part 1
Luster Dawn's Journal: Entry Number 6 - Finding The Mirror
It's time for me to help my mom out with cleaning out the castle storage. Funny thing is though, while I was helping her do this, I found this strange mirror where upon looking into it, I could see what I thought was my reflection. But after a quick second, I soon discovered that the "me" depicted in the mirror was a stallion instead of a mare. My mother sent a letter to Twilight right away, and she came in person to explain the mirror.
Twilight is unsure of where she got the mirror from, but it came with instructions. Apperently, one could use this mirror to flip flop to an alternate world where the genders of those we knew were swapped but that was as much as Twilight was told outside of some other rules.
Diamond Tiara took initiative upon hearing these other rules, and thus we came up with our own group rules. The first rule is that no more then five swaps could be done at one time period even though there was no limit. The second rule is that while there is no time limit, a person must not remain swapped for more then four weeks, or 28 days; just shy of a full month in most cases. The third rule is that if a sixth person wants to swap worlds, someone whose already swapped must swap back first.
With these rules in place, the matter came down to who would go through the mirror...
"Ah'll do it." Apple Bloom stated.
"Are you sure, Apple Bloom?" Diamond Tiara asked.
"Ah'll be fine. Plus, best that Ah go since I'm more sociable. Or do I need to bring up Zecora again?" Apple Bloom asked.
"No...no you don't." Scootaloo said.
"Zecora? Whose that?" Luster Dawn asked.
"We'll...tell you later." Silver Spoon said.
"For now, I agree with Apple Bloom being the mediator." Sweetie Belle said. Apple Bloom approuched the mirror.
"Well here I go guys." Apple Bloom said and entered the mirror. Soon a stallion with a baseball cap soon tumbled out of the mirror.
"Whoa...where am I? Is this...the other world?" The Stallion asked. He sounded very much like a male version of Apple Bloom.
"So...would you made answering me who you are?" Starlight asked the Stallion.
"Ma name's Apple Buck, who are you?" The stallion asked Starlight.
"Me? I'm Starlight Glimmer." Starlight answered.
"Ah...you remind me of Flashlight Slammer." Apple Buck said.
"I'm going to guess that that would be Starlight's counterpart." Diamond Tiara spoke up. Suddenly, Apple Buck looked at her.
"...Whoa..." Apple Buck went over to Diamond Tiara said. "And you remind me a lot of Gold Watch." He added.
"Gold Watch? Hmm...was he a bully to you until you and your crusader friends showed him a better way?" Diamond Taira asked. Apple Buck gasped.
"That's exactly right! How'd you know that?" Apple Buck asked.
"Because that's essentially the same story as me." Diamond Tiara said. "I think it's best if you tell us everything you can think of from the history of your world." She added.
"Yeah. And then we can compare notes! You really are Gold Watch's counterpart!" Apple Buck said.
"And you are most certainly Apple Bloom's." Diamond said with a giggle.

Something has gone wrong. We don't seem to have an archived copy of that chapter. My Little Pony: Dawn of Friendship
Season 1, Episode 12: Robo's Origins
Author's Note
While this is a Luster Dawn chapter, this entire chapter is told in first person from Luster Dawn's point of view. It recalls events that happen just before the events of "Demon Devil". This is a bit of a shorter chapter, but hey, I wasn't really sure what else I could relate to Robo's story without causing spoilers for future chapters.
Season 1, Episode 12: Robo's Origins
Hi. It's me Luster Dawn again.
So I told everyone last time that I'd explain what Robo was all about.
When it came around, Robo was this massive robot that could change it's shape. And it had shown up just before Astrotle Mondoli showed up. After the robot had spotted Applejack, it had shifted into the form of an Earth Pony. But what really startled us was that it was created long before the real grogar had first appeared. Essentially, this robot was created long before anyone else really was alive.
However, it quickly realize that because it's primary mission was impossible now; which was to capture and contain a certain creature; it decided to gather data about our world instead.
After informing Princess Twilight of Robo's appearance, I managed to give Robo a quick glance into the various species of New Equestria with help from my friends. Eventually, Princess Twilight had teleported herself to the Castle of Friendship where Robo annalized her. Robo could sense that Princess Twilight was a descendent of Robo's creator.
As a result of this, Twilight gave Robo new orders: Learn everything it can about the new world the robot had found itself in, and along the way, learn as much as it can about friendship.
Thus, to better serve this purpose, Robo has been assigned as my assistant. Over the course of a few days though, Robo could tell that Fluttershy; one of Twilight's friends; had failing life signals. Remember, this was before she had passed on in peace. With Robo's help, Fluttershy and Screwball were able to get some new employees for the animal santurary so it could run once Fluttershy had passed on.
Robo's apperence did not go unnoticed by Diamond Tiara's mother, Spoiled Rich, however. Thus after the whole mess of Astrotle Mondoli and just shortly after the CMC started staying at the Castle of Friendship, Spoiled Rich decided to check out Robo, but because Diamond Tiara hates her mother, Robo sometimes will kick Spoiled Rich out of the castle if she starts causing trouble. And let's just say that Spoiled Rich tends to cause a lot of trouble.
Once the mirror was up and the rules were in place though, Spoiled Rich has gone from causing trouble, to actually managing the thing so that on days I spend away from the castle until nightfall, the mirror can be monitered and managed. Which has given Spoiled Rich a reason to stay at the castle now. Though she is required to sleep in a different hallway then the CMC so that tensions aren't raised. Besides, there are times when the CMC are also out for a day doing their job or in the case of Diamond Tiara and Apple Bloom sometimes, going out on a date.
But yeah, I hope this clears up a lot regarding Robo. The only other thing I can think up to note is that the robot seems to identify itself as both genders for now. I do hope it decides on a gender at some point.

Season 1, Episode 13: Relationship Questions
Luster Dawn's Journal: Entry Number 8 - Questions about Relationship
There is quite literally nothing I could write in this journal that would not work without context...
Castle of Friendship - Map Room
"Hey Diamond Tiara...what's wrong?" Apple Bloom asked her marefriend. Diamond Tiara looked at her lover.
"I'm so confused is what. While Apple Buck was visiting, I couldn't help but feel like I was in love with him. But that doesn't make sense because I'm in love with you." Diamond Tiara said. "So...I'm confused. I'm confused as to why I can have feelings for Apple Buck and you at the same time when I'm happily married to you and not him and--" Diamond Tiara was stopped with a hoof to her mouth.
"Stop Diamond. Believe or not, but I was falling in love with Gold Watch from Apple Buck's world. But I know in my heart I'm in love with you, Diamond Tiara. But I quickly came to a realization: It's not about me being in love with both you and Gold Watch; it's about being in love with the same individual that I married." Apple Bloom said. Diamond Tiara blinked.
"I'm afraid I don't follow your logic, Apple Bloom." Diamond Tiara said. Spoiled Rich was listening in and was sitting at the table nearby.
"Pardon me for evesdropping but...are you really that confused, Diamond Tiara?" Spoiled Rich asked.
"Mother...not now..." Diamond Tiara said.
"I'm not looking to start something this time. You love Apple Bloom because of the things she does and because of the kind of person she is, right?" Spoiled Rich asked.
"Yeah...that's right I suppose..." Diamond Tiara said.
"And from what we know of the world from the other side of the mirror, it's the exact same as our world just with everyone's genders having been swapped and perhaps a name change where it's needed." Spoiled Rich said.
"Mother, where are you going with this?" Diamond Tiara asked.
"My point; Diamond Tiara; is that even if I don't approve of your relationship with Apple Bloom, you have fallen in love with the kind of person Apple Bloom is. I bet if she were a stallion instead of a mare, and had the exact same personality, you would still love who Apple Bloom is dear." Spoiled Rich explained. As soon as Spoiled Rich had finished, Diamond Tiara's eyes went wide. She understood now. She actually understood.
"Oh my stars..." Diamond Tiara said, wide eyed. "I get it...I actually get it." She said. "Apple Buck is still Apple Bloom; it's like the conclusion we came to: The names and genders may have changed, but the events and the personalities behind those events remains the same." Diamond Tiara said.
"Now your gettin' it." Apple Bloom said.
"I'm in love with Apple Buck not because he's a stallion, but because he's still you. It's as if my heart knows this and it took my brain some explanation to catch up." Diamond Tiara said.
"Bingo." Apple Bloom said.
"I never thought I'd say this..." Diamond Tiara said. "But thanks mother." She added.
"I still don't approve of the relationship. Probably why I was not invited to the wedding. Same thing with your father though. Why did you not invite him at the least?" Spoiled Rich asked.
"Because of the whole 'plus one' thing..." Diamond Tiara said. "Daddy understood from there." She said.
"I thought you had a legitimate guest list." Spoiled Rich said.
"We did. We marked it everyone who we wanted to invite to the wedding as well as it being specific as 'plus one guest'." Diamond Tiara said. "And spouses not invited automatically become the plus one. Ponyville's rules, not ours." She added.
"Oh...I see..." Spoiled Rich said.
"But Filthy Rich does support us in the end; after all, in case you forgot, ma granny was part of the founding of Ponyville." Apple Bloom stated.
"...I can't believe I forgot about that..." Spoiled Said before looking dejected.
"It's not like I married her because of that though." Diamond Tiara said. "Our love is pure, and is shared; we love each other with all our hearts, and we love each other for who we are." She said. "So what if I was born into a wealthy family? So what if Apple Bloom was born to a shareholder family?" Diamond Tiara asked. "None of that matters to us. You would not understand. Daddy does." She said.
"I...think I need some alone time to think on things..." Spoiled Rich said before leaving the room. Luster Dawn entered.
"What the heck was that about?" Luster Dawn asked.
"Ah think Spoiled Rich just received a giant wake up call." Apple Bloom said, smiling.
Unknown Location - Moving Train
Meanwhile, on a train heading for ponyville, a strange pony with Draconequus features was riding in one of the cars.
"Mother, I'm coming home." She said from inside the train.
NEXT UP: QUEEN CHRYSALIS'S RETURN

Season 1, Episode 14: Daughters Part 1
Luster Dawn's Journal: Entry Number 9 - Enter Amelia
Today, I found myself hanging out with Screwball at the animal sanctuary and helping out where I could. At some point though, one of the employees came across this really large rabbit that had a few draconequees features on it. We stared it for some time before Screwball said something that took me by surprise.
Ponyville - Animal Sanctuary
"...This rabbit has been modified by Chaos Magic." Screwball said. That made Luster and everyone else there go wide eyed.
"Did Discord decide to have some fun?" Luster Asked.
"Nope. This isn't daddy's magic. I can tell. It's not my magic either." Screwball said. "I've never seen a chaos magic signature like this before...it's very unique." She added. Little did everyone know, they would be getting an explanation sooner then they realized.
Ponyville - Train Station
"Thanks for the conversation." A Draconequees-Pony hybrid said to a standard blue unicorn. "It was nice talking with you." she added.
"Same to you, miss Amelia." The stallion said. "Hope you meet up with your mother." He said.
"You bet I will. I promised I'd meet with her as soon as I could once I returned." Amelia said. She headed off towards the animal sanctuary right away.
Everfree Forest - Deep Woods
We see the former changeling queen keeping a very large egg warm as it begins to hatch.
"Not much longer, my dear Chrystalis..." Chrysalis said to the hatching egg. "With you by my side, we will build a new changeling hive, and eventually overrun the old one." she said. She cackled as the egg shell began to break away to an emerging chageling with blue highlights and looked a bit like Chrysalis as a young hatchling. "My daughter...Chrystalis..." Chrysalis said.
Ponyville - Animal Santuary
As the group was still discussing the strange rabbit, suddenly Amilia's voice could be heard.
"Mom...are you here? Hello?" Amilia shouted as loud as she could. Screwball rushed over to Amilia.
"Okay, who the hell are you, and how do you have Chaos magic?" Screwball asked Amilia.
"As if I should answer you. I am Amila, daughter of Discord and Fluttershy. I'm looking for my mother and she should be here." Amilia said.
"Ha! I don't believe you for one second." Screwball said. Amilia smiled and after morphing a hoof into a paw before summoning some chocolate rain above Screwball. However, Screwball used her own magic from her horn to summon some chocolate rain above Amilia.
"You...you can do that...too?" Amilia asked, shocked at the implications.
"Well...at least I know your telling the truth." Screwball said. Suddenly Amilia hugged Screwball.
"Then...you have to be my younger sister." Amilia said. "Hello little sis, my name's Amilia. What's your name?" Amilia asked.
"Um...it's Screwball..." Screwball said I have an older sister?! Screwball thought to herself.
"Looks like Mom won the name argument again then." Amilia said.
"What do you mean again?" Screwball said.
"Daddy Discord wanted me to have a more 'draconequees' name but mommy Fluttershy wanted to me to have something closer to ponies. So she suggested naming me Amilia, which worked for daddy, and thus she won the name argument with me." Amilia said. Screwball laughed.
"Oh yeah, your DEFAINTLY my older sister. Same thing happened with me when I was born." Screwball said. I could get used to having an older sister... Screwball noted in her head.
"So sis, where's mommy Fluttershy at?" Amilia asked. "She promised me she'd meet me here and..." She continued before noticing Screwball's dejected look. "...Sis? Screwball what's wrong?" Amilia asked, panicking a little.
"It's about mommy Fluttershy..." Screwball said as Mothball and Luster Dawn came to her. "...she's passed away...she's no longer with us." Screwball said. This caused Amilia to gain a look of dejection of her own.
"Then...I was too late..." Amilia said. "I wasn't able to fulfill my promise..." she said. She started crying. Everyone comforted her for as long as she needed it. Suddenly Discord showed up.
"Alright Screwy, what was with the chocolate..." Discord said before noticing Amilia. "A-Amilia?!" He said.
"Daddy..." Amilia said before hugging discord and crying onto his coat. The draconequees hugged his oldest daughter as everyone else joined in the hug.
"Let it all out Amilia sweet heart...daddy's still here for you..." Discord said.
Elsewhere, Chrysalis was busy gathering love for her growing daughter.
"Soon my daughter Chrystalis...soon..." Chysalis said as she gathered more love.
My Little Pony: Dawn of Friendship
Season 1, Episode 15: Daughters Part 2
Luster Dawn's Journal: Entry Number Ten - Enter Chystalis
Fun fact, the rabbit Amelia modded with chaos magic is named Jack; he's her pet.
It's actually been a few weeks since Amelia showed up. Not much of interest really happened in the meantime. Well outside of me hanging out with my friends more, getting to know Sunset Shimmer (more on that later), and well...just in general nothing really major happened.
Though I will say, Amelia is most certainly Fluttershy's daughter. At one point there was this manticore on a rampage, but Amelia calmed it down by using her chaos magic to summon a giant ball of yarn. What is it with Fluttershy and Manticores anyways? First Fluttershy herself, then Screwball according to what I heard about Mothball, and now Amelia. I swear, it's like Fluttershy's bloodline has a thing for calming down Manticores. If Amelia or Screwball has a kid, and then that kid clams down a manticore in the future, then it's official, Fluttershy's bloodline can tame manticores.
But at some point, we would be confronted with someone we never thought we'd encounter.
The daughter of Chrysalis.
Everfree Forest - Queen Chysalis
Queen Chrysalis woke up alone like she tended to do. She frowned.
"What is with that daughter of mine?" Chrysalis said as she got up. "Everytime I wake up alone. At the very least my daughter is able to provide us both with enough love to last us day to day for the time being. But at one point, she will start growing, and when she does, simply getting the small amounts of love she has been getting won't be suitable for her growth." Chrysalis said. She got up and started heading out of her sleeping chamber, but did not see her daughter around. "...That's odd...usually she's here by the time I wake up." Chrysalis said before coming to a realization. "Could she...be getting extra love today because she remembered my own birthday?!" She exclaimed. She couldn't help but chuckle. "That child is going to spoil me. She really should think of herself more though." Chrysalis said before heading outside. She explored around a bit before noticing a few of the animals going towards a clearing in the woods. "...That's odd...what's there, I wonder." Chrysalis said before following the animals. What she saw before her, made her blood boil over...
Ponyville - Fluttershy's cottage
"Sisterhooves social?" Amelia asked Screwball. "But I thought Granny Smith was long gone..." She said.
"She is, but Aunt Applejack has kept the event going in her memory." Screwball said. "And I bet Aunt Apple Bloom will too soon after." She said.
"C'mon now, Aunt Applejack still has some gas in the tank; she's a stubborn pony that one." Amelia said.
"I suppose you have a point." Screwball said. "But because we're sisters, we can one hundred percent participate this year." She added.
"I suppose it could be fun to see what the event is all about for a change." Amelia said. Suddenly she looked shocked. "...Wait, do you hear something?" Amelia said before following a growing sound of crying with Screwball right behind her. The two sisters soon came across a crying unreformed changeling in the middle of some animals conforting her. "What the...there's still changelings unreformed?" Amelia asked.
"But that doesn't make any sense...even when born, the new changelings are in their reformed state." Screwball said.
"Hey there little one..." Amelia said, conforting the changeling. "What's your name?" Amelia said.
"C-chyrstalis..." The changeling said.
"...Chrystalis?!" Screwball said. "...Sis, I know why she's not in her reformed state now..." she said. "Chrystalis, your mother is Chrysalis is she not?" Screwball asked.
"Not...not anymore...mommy...mommy threw me out..." Chrystalis said.
"Threw you out? But why?" Amelia asked.
"Well..." Chrystalis began.
Flash Back: Everfree Forest - Chrystalis's Clearing
"What is the meaning of this, Chrystalis?!" Chrysalis yelled at her daughter.
"Mom, these are forest animals." Chrystalis said, smiling. "I'm playing with them." She said.
"I can see that, but why on earth are you basing yourself to such a degree?" Chrysalis said.
"Um...to get love." Chrystalis said. "It's how I've been getting love everyday for us. It's worked hasn't?" She asked.
"FOOLISH GIRL!" Chrysalis yelled at her daughter again. "YOU'LL NEVER BECOME QUEEN LIKE THIS! I'M KICKING YOU OUT OF THE CAVE UNTIL YOU WISE UP, CHRYSTALIS!" Chrysalis said.
"But...but..." Chrystalis tried to argue but was silenced.
"I DON'T WANT TO HEAR ANY EXCUSE OUT OF YOU; EITHER START STEALING LOVE, OR YOU CAN FORGET EVER BEING MY DAUGHTER!" Chrysalis yelled at her daughter.
END FLASHBACK
Present time: Ponyville -
"But I don't like stealing love..." Chrystalis said. "I think having love be caused naturally is much better then forcibly stealing any." She added.
"You poor thing..." Amelia said. "Screwball, tell Luster our situation, and get a letter sent to Princess Twilight right away." She said.
"You can just call her Aunt Twilight..." Screwball said and left to do as ordered.
My Little Pony: Dawn of Friendship

Luster's Journal: Entry Number Eleven - Chrystalis
It didn't take long for me to receive word about Chrystalis from Screwball. And just as quickly for Twilight to teleport over.
Castle of Friendship - Map Room
Twilight was looking at Chrystalis judgingly which caused the changeling to shake in fear.
"Why is the mean purple alicorn leering at me angerly?" Chrystalis asked. Luster Dawn sighed.
"Twilight...please...just because she's Chrysalis's daughter doesn't mean you should judge her on that merit alone..." Luster Dawn said.
"Her mother was stealing the love from my brother; I can very easily banish Chrystalis from--" Twilight began.
"Stealing love is wrong!" Chystalis spoke up out of nowhere. Twilight and Luster both blinked.
"Um...come again?" Twilight asked, confused.
"Stealing love from other creatures; no matter what creature they may be; is just wrong to me!" Chrystalis said. "The animals of Everfree Forest willingly gave up their love to me so long as I played with them every morning." She added. "And thus, it was a healthy relationship: I got the love I needed for me and my mother without harming any single creature in the process." Chrystalis finished.
"That's...very particular..." Twilight said in a mix between shock and disbelief.
"Some of the animals at fluttershy's cottage were even willingly sharing their love with her too; not wanting her to go unchecked." Luster Dawn said. "I learnt a spell that can track love." She added.
"So even Fluttershy's animals see her kind heart..." Twilight said, curious now. "...Chrystalis...I'm starting to think you don't like the way your mother does things." She added.
"I don't! If I could, I'd share love instead of taking it; but my mother said that would make me get sick." Chrystalis said. This now made Twilight look convinced.
"...That's a lie. Sharing love freely won't cause you any side effects; in fact, by sharing love generously, you'll find that you'll never go hungry." Twilight said.
"Is...that right?" Chrystalis asked. "Because mommy says I'll get sick." She added.
"Chrysalis; your mother; is lying to you. Just share love freely with me and Luster Dawn here; you'll see." Twilight said.
"O-okay...I'll try it but...if I start to get sick, I will stop. I don't want to get sick." Chrystalis said before she started generously giving love to both Twilight and Luster. Suddenly, without warning, she found herself wrapped up in the reformation caccoon before emerging as a reformed changeling. "What...what happened?" Chrystalis asked, confused. Twilight levitated over a mirror. "Is...is that me?" Chrystalis said looking at her reflection.
In the mirror was a pale green changeling with clear blue wings; the Changeling princess couldn't help but find her new form quite beautiful.
"Damn...I look good." Chrystalis said.
"I told you you wouldn't get sick. Do you feel sick at all?" Twilight asked.
"No. No I don't. In fact..." Chrystalis smiled. "I couldn't feel any better! I feel so alive...so full of energy!" She said as she started to celebrate in glee. Twilight couldn't help but giggle.
"I told you." Twilight said.
"So then why...why did my mother lie?" Chrystalis asked. "This isn't a sickness...this is great!" She added.
"Your mother never told you what happened to her old hive, did she?" Twilight asked.
"I have a feeling there's a story behind that..." Chrystalis said.
"Oh there is." Luster Dawn said, grabbing popcorn. "Popcorn?" She asked Chrystalis.
Some time later...
To say Chrystalis was mad at her mother was an understatement; she punched the nearby wall in anger.
"Mother...how could you?!" Chrystalis said. "All that talk about calling this a sickness...it was all a lie!" She added in frustration.
"It seems your mother still hasn't accepted friendship into her life." Twilight said.
"Well I am NOT like my mother; I knew that since day one of my birth!" Chrystalis said. "Stealing love is wrong; and if giving love generiously fills me with so much life and energy, then..." She stopped for a moment. "...Maybe the next time I see my mother...I can get her to understand..." Chrystalis said.
"I think by this point your mother is a lost cause." Twilight said. "She's refused friendship, and she's continuing to refuse reformation." She said.
"All of you tried. All of you tried and failed. But your not me." Chrystalis said. "...Your not the daughter of Queen Chrysalis. The only thing more important to her then anything else...that would be me. I'm what she values most." She added. "Thus, you have a card you didn't before: The family card." Chrystalis said.
As much as Twilight didn't want to admit it...Chrystalis had a point. They had a new card to play: The family card.
My Little Pony: Dawn of Friendship
Season 1, Episode 17: Chrystalis Part 2
Luster Dawn's Journal: Entry Number Twelve - Chrysalis
Chrystalis has managed to settle in with Amelia, Screwball, and Mothball at Fluttershy's cottage for the past few weeks. During this time, rutting season was a thing that caused a bit of a situation but I'll go over that in a separate entry.
Regardless, things have been relatively quiet for some time now. A little too quiet. Everyone assumed when Chrystalis reformed, Chrysalis would try ever harder then before to get her princess back. But ironically, not a peep has been heard from the former changeling queen.
...
Sometimes I really should watch what I write down in this thing...
"LUSTER!" Starlight Glimmer said, rushing inside the castle of Friendship. "You've got to grab Chrystalis and Amelia..." Starlight added.
"Mom? What's wrong?" Luster Dawn asked her mother.
"It's Chrysalis...she wants to see her daughter!" Starlight said.
"What?!" Luster exclaimed.
Ponyville - Mountaintop
"Like I have stated Princess Twilight Sparkle..." Queen Chrysalis said to Princess Twilight Sparkle. "...All I'm asking for is my daughter's safe return to me." She said. "I haven't heard from her in a while, and I would like to check up on her. Of all my children, she is the most important to me." Chrysalis said.
"And you will get to see your daughter...as soon as my student arrives with her." Twilight said. "And no sooner. Do not try anything rash now." She added.
"Yeah. Or else Princess Twilight will banish you." Cozy Glow said. "Or throw you in a dungeon. Or banish you and then throw you in a dungeon on the moon that she banished you to." She added. Everyone else just stared at Cozy Glow.
"...Why is it that every time someone mentions banishing someone, they immediately feel the need to mention throwing someone in a dungeon as well as banishing someone and then throwing them in a dungeon in the place they are banished to?" Tempest Shadow asked.
"Beats me..." Twilight said. "Force of habit?" She suggested.
"That honestly wouldn't surprise me in the slightest." Chrysalis said. Now it was everyone's turn to star at the former changeling queen. "...What? Is it that weird that I can agree on something?" Chrysalis said.
"...Well as much as I'd like to argue something with you, Chrysalis; my student will be arriving at the foot of the mountain soon enough. If you want to see your daughter...then come with me." Twilight said.
Ponyville - Base of Mountain
"I'm scared..." Chyrstalis said. "What if mommy hates me now?" She asked.
"I highly doubt she could ever hate you." Amelia said. They watched Twilight come down with Chrysalis.
"It's now or never..." Luster Dawn said.
"...What the heck...?" Chrysalis was stunned upon looking at her daughter.
"...Hello mother..." Chyrstalis said.
"Not again...not again!" Chrysalis said.
"Mother?" Chrystalis said.
"Chrystalis...how dare you?! You've given into the sickness!" Chrysalis said.
"Sickness? Mom I..." Chrystalis said.
"I don't want to hear it! Clearly your a lost cause at this point." Chrysalis said before going up to her daughter and biting off a scale from her changeling mane.
"Ow! What was that for mother?!" Chrystalis said.
"It's going to be part of teaching you and all the other changelings a very harsh lesson: Friendship is for the weak!" Chrysalis said.
"But mom, I didn't..." Chrystalis tried to say again.
"I don't want to hear it." Chrysalis said and flew off.
"...I suppose I could always be wrong..." Amelia said.
"...My mother refuses to see the forest for the trees..." Chrystalis said. "But I won't give up on her. She's my mother." She added. "If I can just get her to listen to me...get her to understand...then maybe...maybe there's still hope for her." Chrystalis said.
"For once...I hope your right..." Twilight said as she moved the sun to cause Sunset.
"I know I'm right. I just need my mom to understand that this form isn't caused by friendship, but rather by love..." Chrystalis said. "That's what I learned these past few weeks." She added.
"That's...a unique way of looking at it. I guess there's still somethings I have yet to learn." Cozy Glow said.
"You know Cozy Glow..." Starlight said. "If your really willing to change...I can have you re-introduced into the school of friendship." She added.
"Eh...as much as I would like that...there would be temptation there. I think it's best if I continue self-educating myself." Cozy Glow said. She looked at Chrystalis. "...Never give up on your mother okay? Family is the most important thing in the world." Cozy said to Chrystalis said.
"That's...surprisingly thoughtful of you to say..." Twilight said.
"Well I may be a young filly, but I have my moments..." Cozy Glow said. Twilight smiled at this.
"You've come a long ways Cozy Glow...I'm proud of you." Twilight said. At this, Cozy Glow smiled. Not a fake smile like normal, but a genuine one.
"Nice smile." Chrystalis said. That caused Cozy Glow to blush.
"Golly...thanks..." Cozy Glow said. It feels nice to be praised like this. Perhaps forcing friendships was the wrong thing to do after all... Cozy Glow thought to herself.
Meanwhile, a faint glow could be seen coming from the Treehouse of Friendship.
My Little Pony: Dawn of Friendship
Season 1, Episode 18: An Apple's Core
Luster Dawn's Journal: Entry Number Thirteen - An Apple's Core
So remember when I said there was something that happened in the lead up to Chrysalis coming to find her daughter Chrystalis? Well here comes what happened; and it was all a whole week ago. To give you some context, during rutting season, Diamond Tiara decided to swap places with her male counterpart Gold Watch. Gold Watch and Apple Bloom have been dealing with the rutting season together for a while now, but one day, the rutting season left them both. It wasn't until one week before Chrysalis showed up that a doctor came by and told us why...
ONE WEEK BEFORE CHRYSALIS'S APPERENCE
Castle of Friendship - Map Room
"APPLE BLOOM IS WHAT?!" Gold Watch shouted out as soon as the doctor figured out what was going on.
"It's like I told you...she's pregnant." The doctor said.
"And we've got another situation..." Twilight said, also there for the occasion. "...According to my magic analysis, if Apple Bloom gives birth in this world, Gold Watch will suddenly be treated as if he was from our world." Twilight stated. "And if I'm right, Diamond Tiara is pregnant in Gold Watch's world as well; and if she gives birth there, then it'll be treated as if she was from that world." Twilight said.
"But...what happens if Apple Bloom gives birth in my world while Diamond Tiara gives birth in your world?" Gold Watch asked.
"Then a similar situation will occur: Apple Bloom will be treated as if she was part of your world, while Apple Buck will be treated as if he was part of ours." Twilight said. Applejack was there too, hat in front of her face.
"This won't be an easy decision to make..." Applejack said. "But know that no matter which decision you two come to, ah I promise to support it 100%." She added.
"I...don't know if I can make this decision..." Gold Watch said and turned to Apple Bloom. "Which is why...I'm going to go with whatever Apple Bloom decides." He added. This caused Spoiled Rich to become stunned.
"You'd...really let Apple Bloom and Apple Buck decide who stays where?" Spoiled Rich asked. Gold Watch nodded.
"Despite our differences, I know Diamond Tiara cares for you just like how I care for my father. I would know, because I'm essentially her." Gold Watch said. "So I know Apple Bloom and Apple Buck will make the right choice for everyone involved." He said and nuzzled Apple Bloom. Everyone was now looking at Apple Bloom.
"Well Apple Bloom...this is a big decision for you to make..." Twilight Said.
"...It'll be tough going...but..." Apple Bloom said before looking at the rest of the CMC. "...At least I know that no matter what gender they may be, the CMC will always be my best friends, and also that best friends should stick together no matter what." Apple Bloom said before turning towards Silver Spoon. "...Even ones like Gold Watch and Blue Chip as well as Diamond Tiara and Blue Chip." Apple Bloom finished.
"Apple Bloom..." Silver Spoon said.
"...So I've made my decision..." Apple Bloom approached the mirror. "...Coming, Gold Watch?" She asked her colt. Tears filled Gold Watch's eyes.
"You have no idea how much this means to me..." Gold Watch said before Apple Bloom gave him a kiss.
"Trust me...ah know how much it means to you. Apple Buck too." Apple Bloom said before the duo took each other's hooves before jumping through the portal together. Once they jumped through, stumbling out of the portal was Diamond Tiara together with Apple Buck. Diamond Tiara took a glance back at the mirror.
"...You were right...I guess I shouldn't really be surprised..." Diamond Tiara said.
"What'd I tell you? Ah knew how much it meant to you. Apple Bloom too." Apple Buck said with a smile. "The future may be uncertain, but I know we'll all get through it together..." He added.
Author's Note
So yeah, even though I ship Apple Bloom and Diamond Tiara hard, I wanted to do a unique take on the dynamic by utilizing the idea found in "The Other Side" and basically have it be so that Apple Buck and Apple Bloom would be swapping places on a more permanent basis. Not that the swap really changes anything in regards to the AppleDiamond Ship to begin with, as Apple Buck and Apple Bloom are still at their core the same individual; one just so happens to be male while the other is female. Their personalities are the exact same, so the only thing that changes really is that it goes from being a lesbian relationship to a straight one and that's really about it.
My Little Pony: Dawn of Friendship
Season 1, Episode 19: Family Matters
Luster Dawn's Journal: Entry Number Fourteen - Family
Mother's Day is approaching soon. I have GOT to do something nice for mom. Though perhaps, I should focus on Chrystalis and her mother. That changeling princess has been coming up with something; anything; to reform her mother. From what I've heard, at this point, all hope should be lost.
But Chrystalis has not given up on her own hope. I pray that her hope is not misplaced. She's out playing in the Everfree forest with Amelia.
Everfree Forest - Deep Woods
Chrysalis put a picture of her daughter alongside the piece of her that she got. "The last time I tried this, it ended in disaster..." Chrysalis said. "But this time...I think I've perfected the technique; soon I'll have my proper daughter." She added before using her magic to change the tree into an evil version of Chrystalis. "Welcome to the world, Mean Chrystalis." Chrysalis said.
"Whatever." Mean Chrystalis said. Chrysalis frowned.
"Don't you take that tone with me, young lady!" Chrysalis said. Chrystalis turned away and gave an unseen smirk.
"Your right...I shouldn't take that tone with you..." Mean Chrystalis said before spinning around and facing her creator. "...BECAUSE I SHOULD BE DESTROYING YOU!" Mean Chrystalis said, before beginning to charge a spell.
"WHAT?!" Chrysalis was shocked and confused now.
Everfree Forest - Chrytsalis's Clearing
As Chrystalis and Amelia were playing with the forest animals, Chrystalis paused and brought a hoof up into the air. "...Hold up, Amelia." She said. "This magic..." She said before going wide eyed. "Mom's in trouble!" Chrystalis said before rushing towards where she could sense the magic coming from.
"Chrystalis wait..." Amelia said. "Are you sure you should do this?" She asked.
"If I save my mother from the threat that threatens her life, maybe I can show her what this form really is about." Chyrstalis said. Amelia went wide eyed, realizing what Chrystalis was planning.
"I'm coming with you..." Amelia said.
Everfree Forest - Deep Woods
"Why...why you..." Chrysalis was so confused. "Why are you turning on me?" She asked.
"Because you no longer deserve to rule the changelings; that honor belongs to me!" Mean Chrystalis said. Chrysalis gulped. She suddenly realized just how precise her spell really was. It went all out on making the evil clones evil...to the point where they would be willing to do anything to succeed in their own agendas. And given how powerful her own daughter was, without the tree of Harmony, Chrysalis was a good as dead this time...
Or so she thought.
"Mother!" Chrystalis's voice said before she came in front of her mother in a defensive stance.
"Ch-chrystalis? But..." Chrysalis said, confused.
"We'll talk later." Chrystalis said as Amelia joined them.
"She did that clone spell again..." Amelia said.
"I can see that, Amelia." Chrstyalis said. "Hey clone face, how about you pick on someone your own size?!" Chrystalis said to her clone. The two did battle, blasts going back and forth, and reducing a few of the nearby trees to mere splinters. It seemed to be a close match-up. "No...I won't lose...not while my mother is here." Chrystalis said before suddenly gaining a power boost and turning the tide in her favor.
"What...is this power...where is it coming from?!" Mean Chrystalis exclaimed.
"From the most important thing of all...FAMILY LOVE!" Chrystalis shouted before dealing the final blow, turning her clone into a single black tree branch. The battle was over, and the good Chrystalis was the victor.
"I don't understand...after everything I said...everything I did...why? Why did you save me?" Chrysalis said, wanting explanation. Chrystalis approached her mother.
"Because your my mother." Chrystalis said. "And your my family. I meant what I told my evil clone: My power doesn't come from selfishness, it comes from protecting what matters the most to me and all other changelings: Our family." She added before nuzzling her mother's leg. "This form was never about friendship...it was about sharing love freely with our family and friends alike. But mostly with our family." Chrystalis said before sharing a bit of love with her mother. "You can still be the figure the changelings need mother, and you don't have to change who you are." Chrystalis said. "Despite my appearance, I'm still your daughter; the same one you caught playing with the animals." She added. "Just because my appearance has changed, doesn't mean my personality has changed as well." Chrystalis finished.
"I...understand now..." Chrysalis said before hugging her daughter and began crying. "I'm sorry...I'm so sorry for everything...I hope you and all the other changelings can forgive me..." Chrysalis said.
"We already do, mother Chrysalis." Chrystalis said, smiling. Suddenly, a bright glow engulfed Chrysalis, causing the changeling princess to back away from her mother. Chrysalis was wrapped into a glowing cocoon before eventually being set free, now white and with turquoise wings.
"Wh-what just happened?" Chrysalis asked.
"Here...have a look." Amelia said before summoning a mirror, showing Chrysalis's new form.
"Whoa...I look...so different...and beautiful..." Chrysalis said.
"But do you feel any different?" Chrystalis asked.
"No...no I don't..." Chrysalis said. "It seems I was wrong from the start..." She added. Chrysalis hugged her daughter. "Thank you for showing me the truth, my daughter..." She said. Chrystalis smiled.
"So what are you going to do now?" Chrystalis said. "We can't go to the badlands hive..." She said.
"We can live in Ponyville, until we find a new place to start a hive at." Chrysalis said. Chrystalis smiled and jumped for joy at that.
"Yay! Thank you so much mommy!" Chrystalis said in joy.
"Anything for my lovely daughter." Chrysalis said.
That day, mother and daughter were reunited.
Author's Note
Don't worry, Cozy Glow has a catch-up chapter up next. As for Chrysalis, yeah, this was her reformation. Rather then try to have her accept friendship, I decided to take a different approach: Everything she did at the Canterlot wedding, she wanted to do for her subjects. In that regard, her initial plot was more of a case of "doing something evil for the greater good" where as the other times were done out of her own evil violations. So making her realize that the changelings would make better family then servants was the perfect way to reform her, but how to go about reforming someone who already refused it back in season 6? Admittedly, I initially struggled with this, then saw that next gen comic thing, and boom, inspiration struck!
My Little Pony: Dawn of Friendship
Season 1, Episode 20: Cozy Diplomacy
Author's Note
This is a Cozy Glow chapter, which means it's going to be a first person Cozy Glow P.O.V. the entire chapter. Takes place a few days after Chrysalis's reformation.
Season 1, Episode 20: Cozy Diplomacy
"YOU WANT ME TO WHAT?!" I exclaimed, a bit panicky. A few of my friends were there with me as I was summoned by Princess Twilight herself.
"I would love for you to act as an overseer of Chrysalis and her daughter while they stay in Ponyville; Luster Dawn has already told you all the details right? I know you and her are pen pals, writing letters back and forth." Princess Twilight said.
"But...me?" I asked. "Out of all of the individuals you could send, your picking me?" I was so confused.
"In all fairness, Princess..." Tempest Shadow Spoke up. "Don't you think we should send somebody else? I'm sure one of the royal guards or..." She was silenced when Princess Twilight raised a single hoof.
"I understand your concerns; both of yours, really..." Princess Twilight said. "But trust me Cozy Glow...I think this is the kind of experience you need to understand the good of yourself all the better. Besides, I think your ready for something like this." She said. I couldn't help but find tears in my eyes from that.
"I'll...I'll do my best then, your highness..." I said, finding it hard to fight back the tears. Princess Twilight smiled.
"Your best is all that I ask for in the first place. And please, just call me Twilight." Princess Twilight said. My eyes went wide.
"P-princess...I mean T-twilight...I mean..." I was stumbling over my words.
"Your chariot leaves in thirty minutes." Twilight said. I nodded and starting flying out of the room.
"Thank you..." I couldn't help but say as I was leaving.
My chariot arrived in Ponyville thirty minutes later. Heading into the Castle of Friendship; which is where Chrysalis and her daughter Chrystalis are staying; I first found myself greated by Luster Dawn.
"Cozy Glow!" Luster Dawn said to me before we did one hoof bump followed by another one and then hugged one another. "It's so nice to see you." She said.
"It's good to see you to. How's things with your other friends?" I asked.
"Same as usual...we hang out, do some things here and there around town...nothing really I haven't already written to you about in our letters." Luster Dawn said. I couldn't help but giggle at that.
"As for me, I've been making more and more friends. Seems even the Princess has taken notice." I said.
"So I've heard; your going to be here overseeing Chrysalis and Chrystalis's stay as they search for somewhere to make a new hive at." Luster said.
"So, the former changeling tyrant really is good now?" I asked.
"You bet!" Luster said.
"Then...I would like some time alone with her..." Cozy Glow said.
"Whatever you need. I'll get Amelia to keep Chrystalis occupied." Luster said as we reached the Map room where mother and daughter were enjoying time with some animals from the animal sanctuary with Amelia nearby. "Hey Amelia...could you and Chrystalis go play somewhere else in the castle? Cozy Glow wants a few minutes with Chrysalis alone." Luster said.
"Sure thing. C'mon Chrystalis!" Amelia said before scurring off with Chrystalis and the animals in tow and then Luster left to give us the room.
"Hello Cozy Glow. I see you've been doing well." Chrysalis said. "But I must ask, why ask to speak with me alone?" She asked.
"Because of my heritage..." I paused and made sure to lock all the doors. "...Auntie Chrysalis." I said. This comment took Chrysalis by surprise.
"Auntie? What are you talking about?" Chrysalis said.
"Chrysalis...it's about my father. I found him." I added before taking a seat. "And I found out exactly what I am..." I noted.
"So...what does your father have to do with me?" Chrysalis said as she too took a seat.
"Chrysalis...this is not easy to say, and you most likely won't believe me..." I stated. "...But the truth of the matter is, I'm biologically half-changeling. Seems one of your old drones from who knows how long ago met a mare here in Ponyville, fell in love, and together they had a child." I explained. "And that child was me. Which biologically makes me your niece." I added. Chrysalis looked like she was about to faint.
"That's...a lot to take in...do you know where he lives?" Chrysalis asked.
"Not exactly, but I know he's currently disguised himself as a pony realtor for my mom's house." I said. "I only ask that you don't punish him too harshly." I added.
"I wasn't planning on it. I just want to know how long he's been here." Chrysalis said.
"That's not something I asked him a few weeks ago. I might come with you to hear the answer myself." I said. Chrysalis nodded.
"So...do you think anyone else knows?" Chrysalis asked me.
"As far as I know? No one but you and my most trusted friends now. Luster is amongst those." I said. "...I think it's time we let your daughter back in here with us. Give her the realization too. she deserves to know too." I said. Chrysalis nodded.
"I think she'll be happy to meet her cousin." Chrysalis said. "And, allow me to officially say: Welcome to the family, Cozy Glow." Chrysalis said with a smile. I smiled back.
All in all...I think maybe Twilight secretly found out about my heritage somehow. Am I complaining? No. Am I mad? Maybe a little. But if there's one thing I do know: Friends forgive each other. And if Twilight letting me call her Twilight is any indication, she considers me her friend too.
...I didn't even notice my necklace was glowing during both meetings because everything was moving so fast.

Season 1, Episode 21: Cozy Cousins
Author's Note
First person Cozy Glow P.O.V. Chapter...you know the drill by now. Takes place right after Episode 20
Season 1, Episode 21: Cozy Cousins
Chrystalis and Amelia came back shortly after me and Chrysalis agreed to let Chrystalis know about my relationship with her.
"Amelia, why don't you be a dear and make sure Luster Dawn is doing okay." Chrysalis said.
"Uh...okay sure." Amelia said before leaving. Chrysalis made sure the doors were closed and locked once more.
"Something up mother?" Chrystalis asked. "What'd you and Cozy Glow talk about?" She inquired.
"I told her about my heritage. It actually involves you too." I said.
"Oh? That's interesting." Chrystalis said.
"Chrystalis...believe or not...I'm biologically half-changeling." I said. Chrystalis's eyes went wide. "...Which essentially makes me your cousin." I added.
"That's...whoa..." Chrystalis said. "That's sudden..." She said. "How do you know?" Chrystalis asked.
"I met my biological father the other day. He's currently disguised as a realtor pony for my mother's house. I went to look at the house I was born in when he found me inside." I said. "Once I revealed to him the previous owner of the house was my mother, he revealed onto me his true identity and my heritage." I added.
"I'm going to guess you told Princess Twilight and that's why you got picked for this." Chrystalis said.
"Actually, I didn't tell Twilight anything." I said. "But I wouldn't put it past her to find out somehow. This is the current ruler of Equestria we're talking about after all." I added with a giggle. Both changelings laughed.
"That does sound like good old Princess Twilight." Chrysalis said. I slammed a hoof on the map.
"Twilight isn't that old yet!" I pratically yelled.
"...It was a figure of speech Cozy Glow...calm down..." Chrysalis said. I blinked.
"Oh...right...sorry." I said. Suddenly my eyes went wide. "...I really just got upset over thinking you were calling Twilight old didn't I?" I asked for clarification. Both changelings chuckled.
"Your forgiven." Chrysalis said.
"That's not my point. For some reason when I thought you were calling Twilight old I just...I just lost it a bit..." I said.
"And that's a problem how?" Chrystalis said.
"Because I've never felt this way about someone before...anyone at all for that matter." I admitted.
"Niece of mine...it seems that in your heart, you've already accepted the princess as your friend." Chrysalis said. "That is literally the only explanation." She said. My eyes went wide again.
"Oh my god your right...I do..." I said. I have barely noticed how calling Princess Twilight just Twilight felt so normal to me now. And now here I was defending her. "Is this...what friendship truely is? Is friendship really more about standing up for those you care about willing to defend them even against family?" I asked.
"Aren't you pen pals with Luster? She could've told you that easy." Chrystalis said.
"Maybe but..." I looked over to the changelings. "I don't think she's learnt about this kind of friendship lesson yet." I said. "Heh...that'd make a good report..." I said with a smile.
"Seems someone is really getting into seeing Friendship Twilight's way." Chrysalis said.
"In some ways yeah. Don't get me wrong, I still see friendship as a tool of power but...I've been thinking that that's only half the equation." I admitted. "...I've been having thoughts that friendship is powerful magic of some kind. Not exactly sure what kind of powerful magic I'm referring to, but with some help from this necklace, I think I can put the pieces together on my own." I explained.
"So your still not one hundred percent reformed them..." Chrysalis said.
"Well I'm not going to try and take over Equestria again if that's what your thinking." I countered. "I'm done trying to rule the world; I just wanna be myself, be a young kid out exploring the world. Like I always wanted to be." I said before looking at my cutie mark. "...That's all I've ever really wanted..." I added.
To be continued
My Little Pony: Dawn of Friendship
Season 1, Episode 23: A New Cozy Friend
Author's Note
Despite this being a Cozy Glow chapter, this will not be a first person P.O.V. chapter like the others have been.
Season 1, Episode 23: A New Cozy Friend
A new stallion was spotted in Ponyville recent, and when someone new is spotted, all of Ponyville is suddenly informed of thanks to one pink party pony.
"'You are invited to the party for the mysterious new stallion at his home on 12th street. You can bring any friends you have with you and as many as you want too; everyone should welcome this new addition to the town with a smile. From Pinkie Pie.'" Cozy Glow Read from a letter handed to her from the pink earth pony in question. "...You mean...you want me to come?" Cozy Glow asked Pinkie Pie.
"I think it'll be a great opportunity to show everyone once and for all you ain't the same Cozy Glow from long ago. If you can hit it off with the new guy well and become his friend, then no one will ever judge you for who you used to be, Cozy." Pinkie Pie said. Cozy Glow couldn't help but hug the pink party mare.
"That new stallion is going to be my friend by the end of the party; I can feel it. I just have to be myself." Cozy Glow said. "No lying, no manipulating, and no hiding." She added.
"That's the spirit Cozy. I wish I could join you, but I already had plans with the CMC today. Besides, I think it's best that you do this on your own with something besides friends." Luster Dawn said, looking towards the Changeling mother and daughter.
"...Family...yeah, that sounds neat." Cozy Glow said before flying up to her aunt and cousin. "Hey Chrysalis and Chrystalis, your coming with me to the party." Cozy Glow said.
"Ooooo~ Can we mother? Can we please?" Chrystalis asked, excited. Chrysalis smiled.
"So long as you promise to be on your best behavior there. Guests or not, a Changeling princess must always be on her best behavior." Chrysalis said.
"Don't worry mom, I promise one hundred percent." Chrystalis said. "Cross my heart and hope to fly, stick a cupcake in my eye." She added doing the motions for a Pinkie Pie Promise. Chrysalis couldn't help but chuckle at the gesture.
"They can come right Pinkie Pie? Their family...sort of." Cozy Gow said to Pinkie Pie. "...It's Complicated." she added.
"It's complicated because your father is a changeling whose disguised himself as a relator for your mother's house and now your connecting with his side of the family from your biological composition?" Pinkie Pie said.
"...Yeah...that's right...how'd you find that out?" Cozy Glow asked.
"Just a hunch." Pinkie Pie said. Cozy Glow rolled her eyes.
"I don't think I'll ever fully understand you, Pinkie Pie..." Cozy Glow said.
"When someone actually fully understands Pinkie Pie will make that someone the most unusual pony in history." Luster said.
The party for the new arrival in Ponyville was underway, and if there's one thing everyone in Ponyville can admit to, it's that Pinkie Pie throws quite the show of a party for when she throws a party. For the most part, the stallion in question seemed reserved; he's trying to be social but is struggling a lot it seems. Cozy Glow took notice of this and decided to take him into another room.
"I'm guessing your not used to so many different ponies wanting to chat with you, huh?" Cozy Glow asked the stallion.
"You could say that. This is the first social event I've ever really been to." The Stallion said.
"At least your trying." Cozy Glow said, deciding to land in front of the new face.
"Not hard enough. I go by the name of 'Saint Prophecy'." The stallion said.
"My name is Cozy Glow, though if you were to ask anyone but me about well...me...you'd probably be told to stay away. Far away." Cozy Glow said.
"Oh? Why's that?" Saint Prophecy asked.
"Let's just say I've done some really, really bad things in my life and everyone judges me for them even though I'm doing my best to change." Cozy Glow admitted.
"Then maybe it's best I hear about what you've done in the past from you, so that my opinion of your change is unbiased." Saint Prophecy said.
"Well...okay...but let me warn you up front, it's a doozy..." Cozy Glow said.
"...And now I'm here, with you, detailing everything in my life up until now." Cozy Glow said. The duo had rejoined the party at a certain point and everyone was actually starting to relax around her after seeing her talk with the new guy.
"Indeed you are...indeed you are..." Saint Prophecy said. "I know how it feels to be judged by your past; I've made a few predictions that have mysteriously come true later. I don't even cause them, but people blame me anyways." He explained.
"Well I won't blame you for any predictions you make that will come true later, as I think prophecies are more of a warning to others." Cozy Glow said. Saint Prophecy smiled at this.
"Well...as we were talking, I managed to come up with a prediction regarding you, Cozy Glow." Saint Prophecy said.
"Really? Well, that sounds interesting." Cozy Glow said. "I'll hear it out." She added.
"Be careful of who you grow close to; for I see someone that you think will be your friend for life betraying you in the not so distant future and your world comes crashing down around you." Saint Prophecy said.
"...What kind of Prophecy is that? There's not a single way my world will come crashing down around me." Cozy Glow said.
"What makes you doubt my prediction?" Saint Prophecy asked.
"I can't really tell you...but just know I have a really big reason." Cozy Glow said.
"I suppose we will see who is right, and who is wrong in the end then, huh?" Saint Prophecy asked.
"Indeed." Cozy Glow said.

Season 1, Episode 24: A Glowing Friendship
Author's Note
And now back to our usual first person P.O.V. Cozy Glow chapter.
Season 1, Episode 24: A Glowing Friendship
That Saint Prophecy is such a kidder. There isn't a single way my world is gonna fall apart because I spend time making friends. And that's what I've been doing in Ponyville. Funny enough, reaching out to Saint Prophecy has actually lead all of Ponyville to want to be my friends too. During the course of the first week of getting to know Saint Prophecy, I've had several ponies come up to me and I just do some greetings, clear the air, and we have a laugh about something or another. It's as simple as I click, they click, we both click, and then my necklace does that spirit chain thing.
"Hmm?" Saint Prophecy has noticed this after a while. "Excuse me, Cozy Glow but...what's with the necklace?" He asked.
"Oh this thing? Something my mother left me." I answered. "It's been helping me connect with ponies, and that spirit chain is something that forms from it whenever I make a new friend." I added.
"Oh...that's...interesting. Does your mother know where she got it from?" Saint Prophecy asked.
"All she told me in her letter was that it was given to her by an angel. I doubt she meant that literally, but it was more then likely just a very wealthy mare she made friends with who gave her the necklace as a sign of their friendship. Or something like that. After all, there's no such thing as a literal angel." I explained.
"I guess that seems possible. I'm sorry...I just feel like that necklace is a crutch for you." Saint Prophecy said.
"It's not a crutch. My mother told me in her letter that it helped her makes loads of friends and wished for me to do the same with it. So if it can help me make friends, and that's kind of what I've been trying to do genially since I started my reformation. I still think Friendship is steeped in power, but I'm starting to feel like there's magic behind Friendship too. Don't ask me why I feel that way, I just do now. Plus, people actually like me when I'm not putting up a mask or being evil." Cozy Glow said.
"For someone who was stated to go evil twice...I find it hard to believe you would just...stop being evil." Saint Prophecy said.
"I almost went back at one point. Yeah. I'm not afraid to admit it. When I started out, I didn't even have my necklace. I tried to make friends in Canterlot but none of the ponies would have me. This went on for almost three days. But one afternoon, this one stallion finally decided to become friends with me, and my hope was restored. If he didn't reach out to me...I don't think I would've given genuine friendship a chance." I revealed. "Thanks to him, I got my first real friend, my brand new necklace, and have been making friends ever since." I added, smiling.
"If you don't need the necklace to make friends, then you could stop wearing it." Saint Prophecy said.
"I could, but this was my mom's. I may not have had the best relationship with my bio mom, but wearing it makes me feel like she'll be with me even if she's no longer amongst the living." I said.
"Family is weird..." Saint Prophecy said.
"Mine is the weirdest. C'mon...there's two relatives of mine I'd like you to meet." I said.
I headed back to my Aunt Chrystalis and my cousin Chrystalis with Saint Prophecy from there, and introduced him to my bio father's side of the family. Though when he saw them...
"Changelings? You wanted me to meet changelings?" Saint Prophecy said. "I thought you said I was meeting with two relatives of yours." He said.
"They are. It's complicated. Believe it or not, I'm biologically half-changeling. So by proxy, they are my aunt and cousin respectfully." I said.
"It's a pleasure to meet you." Chrysalis said.
"It most certainly is!" Chrystalis said, and started shaking a hoof of Saint Prophecy. "Hi, I'm Chrystalis and this is my mom Chrysalis. Yeah she's totally reformed now because she understands the love of family." The changeling princess stated.
"I repeat what I said before: Family is weird..." Saint Prophecy said.
"Well mine's the weirdest. Who would've thought I would be related to the former queen of changelings Chrysalis herself? Certainly not me." I said.
"It's more so strange then it is weird. Believe me, half-bloods might become common some day if what I'm seeing is any indication." Saint Prophecy said. Chrystalis returned to her mother's side. "...Drat...I need to go pick up something. See you." Saint Prophecy said and left.
"Cozy Glow...be careful around him..." Chrystalis said.
"Huh? What's wrong?" Chrysalis asked.
"When I was touching him I felt something evil...something rotten. But it didn't feel right with how friendly he was being towards us." Chrystalis said. "Just be careful okay? If he turns evil, I don't wanna see you get hurt." She added.
"If he turns evil, I might be able to make him stop being evil." I said. "I'm his friend, and friends do that sort of things with each other, right?" I asked.
"I guess...Twilight did stop Starlight from being evil once upon a time." Chrysalis said.
"Don't bring it up around her; soar subject." I said.
"Believe me, I know." Chrysalis said. "After all, your past is one too." She added.
"Don't remind me..." I said.
All and all, very weird first week. During that time I did make friends with the young six and they even let me into their special treehouse from time to time. I never thought I'd say this but...I love making friends the natural way! And I can't wait to see what friends I make next!

Author's Note
Cozy Glow chapter. You all know what that means at this point. A bit of a shorter chapter here too, but hey, I think it's very uplifting.
Season 1, Episode 25: A Glow's Worry
"He said that?" Apple Buck asked me.
"Yeah. Admittedly I don't know what he meant when he said my world would crumble around me at first but I'm starting to think he means the friendships I've made." I said.
"Sounds more like he's super jealous of how many friends you've made." Sweetie Belle said. Button Mash and Rumble were with us today; one was Sweetie Belle's boyfriend while the other has been going steady with Scootaloo.
"But what if he's right? What if someone who I think is my friends betrays me? What if that is my trigger and makes me become evil again?" I asked, worried.
"So what? If one friend betrays you, you'll still have your other friends to back you up." Buttom Mash said.
"But what if that betrayal makes me think all my friends could betray me and I could no longer trust anyone I see?" I asked.
"Cozy Glow...I understand your worried about someone betraying you, but if someone betrays your trust then they were never your friend to begin with. You betrayed our trust with the friendship test thing, but you made it right in the end by telling the truth. And once you betrayed everyone, even then we were hesitant but...we really hoped...we really believe you could make a change to yourself back then. And now is no different." Scootaloo said. "You have yet to betray us, so we have every reason to trust you. And you trust us." She added.
"And I will tell one thing: There's no way a single one of the girls is gonna betray your trust just because you've done it to them twice." Rumble Said. "That's kind of their thing." He added. Silver Spoon nodded.
"And if one of your other friends betrays you, we promise to be right there to support you and remind you that there are those you can trust over the one that broke your trust. We're your friends too, and we won't betray your trust so long as you don't betray ours ever again." Silver Spoon said. I couldn't help but start to cry.
"Golly...that's...that's the sweetiest thing for you to say." I said. I felt all warm inside now. I liked that feeling.
"Plus if someone DOES betray your trust, you can bet I'll be there to give them a piece of my mind." Diamond Tiara said.
"Just like you did your mother?" Apple Buck asked. Diamond Tiara nodded.
"Just like I did my mother, yeah." DT said, smiling.
"Well I'm glad that you girls are so confident in that endeavor." I said. "If...if someone does betray my trust...I want to give you my express permission to pep talk me into believing that it was a one time thing." I added.
"Now I'm not going to say friendships can't always be challenged, but true friends will get past fighting with each other from time to time. And we've patched things up now so..." Sweetie Belle said.
"So, this is proof that our friendship has become stronger. And we will be there to support you until the end." Scootaloo said.
"Thanks girls." I said with a smile. I felt content that no matter what, everything will be just fine.
My Little Pony: Dawn of Friendship
Season 1, Episode 26: Robo & Changelings
Author's Note
Shorter chapter, but there's a plot twist at the end!
Season 1, Episode 26: Robo & Changelings
Luster Dawn's Journal: Entry Number Sixteen - Robo & Changelings
I'll admit, I was a bit skeptical about Chrysalis's attempts to create a new hive and not be evil anymore. But over these past few days, things have been going fairly well. Chrysalis and her daughter Chrystalis have more then smoothed things over with everyone whose come around. Thorax had come by the other day, wanting to check to see if Chrysalis really had reformed. While the two of them had a nice chat and defiantly patched things up, Chrysalis advocated the hive she left behind to Thorax. All the while, Robo has been doing severe study of Changeling abilities and their species. All while Cozy Glow has been making friends with that Saint Prophecy guy. But everything came to it's conclusion one fateful day while Princess Twilight was over...
Castle of Friendship - Map Room
"You want to WHAT?!" Princess Twilight said.
"Please Twilight...I feel like I could do a lot of good for the Changelings if I became one." Robo said.
"Is...it even possible?" Luster Dawn asked. "I mean, changing a being like you into one made of flesh and blood is going to be super ultra mega weird." She added. "Not to mention all the implications..." Luster finished.
"I'm most certain it can be done with how flexible magic can be. I think it'd be best if we went to the castle of the two sisters first however." Twilight said. "Chrysalis, Chrystalis and anyone else who wishes to come may but only to watch." She added.
Everfree Forest - Ruined Castle
About an hour later, anyone who wanted to see what would happen was there at the castle of the two sisters which has in recent years started to crumble into absolutely nothing. Once everyone was present, Twilight began taking off her regalia.
"Princess?" Luster was confused now.
"In order for me to channel the magical energy strong enough to do this, I have to take off my regalia. The regalia is not only used a fashion statement, but also to help make sure my Alicorn powers are limited." Twilight explained.
"Twilight sort of already told me about the regalia thing." Cozy Glow brought up. "So this isn't really that new to me." She added. Twilight finished taking off her Regalia.
"Cozy Glow...could you do me a favor and make sure my regelia is safe?" Twilight asked. Cozy Glow nodded.
"Sure thing Twilight." Cozy Glow said and started to pick up Twilight's regalia. Once she was all finished, she returned to the sidelines alongside Luster and all those that came. Which really only included Cozy Glow, Luster Dawn, Chrysalis, Chrystalis, and Thorax.
"Thank you, Cozy." Twilight said. For a brief moment, Cozy Glow's necklace glowed a bit. No one didn't bring it up before they were in awe of Twilight using magical abilities to start transforming Robo. The process only took an hour to complete, and Robo had successfully been morphed into a young female changeling. "She'll be alright." Twilight said as Cozy Glow handed the princess back her regalia. "She just needs some rest." Twilight said.
"Thank goodness." Chrysalis said.
"Can I carry her back?" Chrystalis asked.
"I don't know if you'd be strong enough, my daughter." Chrysalis said.
"I'll be teleporting us, so no one is going to be carrying her back." Twilgiht said as she put back on her regalia.
"Hey...you know there's an area not too far from Ponyville's boarders that would make for the perfect place if you wanted to stay there. You'd be able to be close to the animals and Cozy Glow at the same time." Thorax suggested to Chrysalis.
"What a wonderful idea, I think we will check the area out." Chrysalis said.
Everfree Forest - Abandoned Cave
Meanwhile, at the cave where Chrysalis and Chrystalis had stayed while Chrystalis grew, Saint Prophecy was dong some renovations to the place.
"This is only a temporary sanctuary for now..." Saint Prophecy said, but then suddenly he glowed a bright red. "But before the week is through, I will force these mortals to turn on each other!" He said before he suddenly morphed into Astrotle Mondoli. "That foolish Luster Dawn thought she had seen the last, of Astortle Mondoli. Well, here's breaking news: I'M BACK!" The demon devil said before giving off an evil laugh.

Season 1, Episode 27: Dawn of Friendship Part 1
Luster Dawn's Journal: Entry Number Seventeen - Return of the Demon Devil
We really should have seen this coming...
Ponyville - Town Square
It was a perfectly normal day in Ponyville, when suddenly Rainbow Dash yelled out "INCOMING ENEMIES!" and soon a whole bunch of strange featureless creatures started to over-run the town. The wonderbolts got right on it, as well as Luster and her mother Starlight helping as many of the friendly creatures get into the castle of Friendship including Luster's friends, Cozy's father (though they didn't know it was his father at that point), and were even joined by Chrysalis in the defense who made sure her daughter Chrystalis also managed to make it inside. About a half-hour later of securing as many creatures as they could to the castle, the castle was filling up.
"I'm not sure how many more creatures we can fit into the castle." Starlight said.
"Then mom, you and Chrysalis start getting some into the School of Friendship." Luster said as Throax and a few other leaders showed up.
"We're here to help." Thorax said.
"We could use the help. These strange things just came out of nowhere!" Chrysalis said. "We need to get as many of our various subjects into the school for shelter as possible." She added.
"It's a safe as place as any." The Griffon leader said.
"Agreed." The Yak leader said. The young six arrived as well.
"There's a treehouse in the everfree forest some of the others can use for shelter too, don't forget." Ocellus spoke up.
"Right. That place where Silverstream went that one time." Queen Nova said. "I wonder how safe that place is, being in the forest and all." She added.
"It seems none of these strange creatures can touch it without going casplat." Smolder said. One of the featureless creatures suddenly touched the castle of friendship before suddenly shrieking and then vanishing in a poof. "...Basically just like that." Smolder added.
"Then we'll have to protect the ones who get sent to the school." Ember said.
"Kind of have a bunch of mysterious enemies out and about here..." Gallus stated.
"He's not wrong you know..." Starlight said. The leaders nodded in agreement. If there was one thing they could agree on, right now was basically code red. Eventually, the leaders plus starlight started getting creatures to the school while the young six helped give some creatures a path into the forest so they could head to the treehouse.
Castle of Frienship - Map Room
Inside, Luster Dawn sat down with her friends as well as the CMC.
"Phew...at least this place will give us a quiet location to think in." Luster Dawn said. Apple Buck was looking around though.
"Hand on a second...where's Cozy Glow?" Apple Buck asked. That's when everyone realized she wasn't here.
"Hold up..." Luster Dawn used a magic spell to suddenly start communications with Starlight and Gallus. "Hey, is Cozy Glow with either of you two?" Luster Dawn asked.
"She is most certainly not at the school." Starlight said.
"Not at the clubhouse either." Gallus said.
"Then she must be out somewhere. But where?" Luster Dawn asked.
"Well she has been palling around with that Saint Prophecy guy." Sweetie Belle brought up.
"Right! Of course! Her newest friend. She probably went to make sure he was alright as soon as this whole mess started." Scootaloo said.
"That makes sense when you really think about it." Silver Spoon said. Diamond Tiara however, did not look pleased.
"...Something wrong Deets?" Apple Buck asked.
"Promise none of you will get mad?" Diamond Tiara asked. We all nodded. Spoiled Rich was in the room as well. "Well...the day after Cozy Glow made friends with Saint Prophecy, I approached him and tried making friends with him, but as soon as he started talking I could tell he was faking it." Diamond Tiara said.
"Faking it? Faking what?" Sweetie Belle asked.
"Faking being nice to be exact I bet. Diamond Tiara would be able to spot that sort of con a mile away." Scootaloo said. "For once, Spoiled Rich's teachings might just save us." She added.
"Well I did make sure my daughter knew the art of acting. After all, in high society, it can be...difficult...to know when someone might take advantage of you if your out of the loop." Spoiled Rich said. "So teaching my daughter about various tells was one of the first things I taught her when she was old enough." She added.
"Well teaching Diamond Tiara that may have just saved Equestria. If Diamond Tiara is correct; and I feel in my heart she is; then Saint Prophecy is the one behind this, meaning he was using Cozy Glow and; in a roundabout way; said that he was to her face!" Silver Spoon said. Luster Dawn gasped.
"The prophecy Saint Prophecy made up...that's what you mean, right?" Luster Dawn asked. Silver Spoon nodded. "Then maybe we're not too late; we need to find Cozy Glow and tell her about this. We'll most likely need to pep talk her, but we can do it. Together." Luster Dawn said.
"Yeah, let's do this!" Molson said. "No one messes with our friend like that."
"I would say that using someone like that isn't very kind at all; and if needed, I will show Saint Prophecy some manners and shift into a Nirik." Summer Breeze said.
"And I have a feeling this is no laughing matter either." Kale said.
"Cozy Glow has been very generous towards us by allowing us to grow close to her; Saint Prophecy is attempting to turn Cozy Glow against us which we will make sure doesn't happen." Namu said.
"Not to mention Saint Prophecy broke Cozy Glow's trust, thus making him not very honest at all." Chitin said.
"Allright everyone, let's find Cozy Glow." Luster Dawn said and spearheaded the gang to where Cozy Glow was. They found her and the Demon Devil Astrotle Mondoli. As they approuched, the demon devil was giving some speech about how Cozy Glow could never be trusted again.
"THAT'S WHERE YOUR WRONG, ASTROTLE MONDOLI!" Luster Dawn yelled out.

My Little Pony: Dawn of Friendship
Season 1, Episode 28: Dawn of Friendship Part 2
What is going on? One moment, everything was fine, and then a bunch of creatures bent on harming others appeared. I fled the Castle of Friendship as soon as this whole thing started and went to find Saint Prophecy. I wanted to make sure my newest friend was safe. That was the plan, but I found him to be the source of these creatures.
"Saint Prophecy; your the one behind this mess?!" I exclaimed.
"My name isn't Saint Prophecy. That was just a cover..." Saint prophecy said before suddenly dark magic evoloped him and he became the Devil Demon...
"ASTROTLE MONDOLI; YOU WERE SAINT PROPHECY THE WHOLE TIME?!" I yelled; realizing that I had been played.
"How does it feel, mortal? You were manipulated. Used even. And now you've served your purpose. Soon, a lot of mortals will be killed, and because you associated with me, you will never be trusted ever again. You'll be all alone." Astrotle Mondoli said.
"THAT'S WHERE YOUR WRONG ASTROTLE MONDOLI!" It was Luster Dawn and she was with all my Ponyville friends. "You may have played Cozy Glow like a fiddle, but she's never done what you did to her ever since she started making real friends. Friends who will stick by her no matter what!" Luster Dawn said.
"Luster..." I said.
"AND SHE'S NOT THE ONLY ONE." It was Twilight now. She was with my canterlot friends. "All of these creatures from Canterlot are behind her as well." Twilight said.
"But...I don't understand...mortals like you all should be blamming her for all of this mess, not forgiving her at the drop of a hat!" Astrotle Mondoli yelled out. "A spell...that's it...it must be a spell!" He said in denail.
"Spells are powerful things, that much is true..." Luster Dawn said. "But there is no such magical spell on any of us. Just the ties that bind us. This is what real friendship is, Astrotle Mondoli: The ability to support one another, and grow closer together, is the true nature of the magic of friendship!" Luster Dawn said.
As soon as Luster Dawn said that...
My entire belief about friendship being a power tool...
What I thought I knew about friendship up to this point in my life...
It shattered.
My world came crumbling down.
Wait...
"...Astrotle Mondoli..." I said. "You said to me that when someone I thought I was friends with betrayed me, my world would come crumbling down." I added. I started to beat my wings, taking a higher position in the air. "Well believe it or not, you were right. My world did come crumbling down. Just not the way I think you meant it would. Ever since I was just three years old, I believed Friendship to be a tool for power what with there being a princess of friendship and all. So everything evil I did, I did because I wanted to have more friends then anyone else. But now? After seeing all my friends rally to pep talk me, hearing Luster's words, and seeing everyone here supporting me, I realize that I couldn't have been more wrong." I said. Suddenly my necklace glowed very brightly. Out of nowhere the broken elements of harmony appeared and started swirling around Luster Dawn and her five friends.
"The elements of harmony are reacting to them?" Twilight questioned. "But...their destroyed." She said. I realized what this meant.
"...The elements were never truely destroyed..." I said before noticing the broken elements reshaping themselves. "...they just needed a little...power boost." I added with a smile as each element found itself reshaped. For Luster and Molson, the elements became just like their cutie marks. But for the others, each one shifted into becoming a part of their species' biology. For Summer Breeze, it was a pair of antlers. For Kale, a griffon's beak. For Namu, it was a single horn. And for Chitin it was a changeling's wing.
"This...can't be happening...how could a group of creatures so different, so unique, and so unlike one another really truly and positively be friends like the six of them?!" Astrotle Mondoli exclaimed in fear.
"It's simple: Because that's the reality about friendship. It's not a tool for power, and it's not some spell you can pick up and cast on day one. Twilight was right all along, I realize that now. I was wrong about what friendship was, and my friends have shown me the light." I explained. "And in case I'm not making it clear, let me be blunt..." I said just as Luster and her friends started to float, powered by the reformed elements of harmony. "FRIENDSHIP IS MAGIC!" I shouted out just as Astrotle Mondoli was blasted by the friendship laser, as I like to call it.
"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" Astrotle Mondoli yelled as he was turned to dust.
I lowered myself to the ground, and headed towards Luster. "...Thank you...all of you." I said.
Finally I've seen the light. I've seen friendship for what it really is.
And this is only the beginning of my studies around friendship.
One might even say...
That this is the Dawn of Friendship.

Something has gone wrong. We don't seem to have an archived copy of that chapter. My Little Pony: Dawn of Friendship
Season 2, Episode 2: Moving Ahead Part 2
Cozy Glow's P.O.V.
"Thanks for the tea, Tempest." I said to Tempest Shadows as I left for Ponyville. A smile graced my face as I flew off from Canterlot to Ponyville. Today was going to be a family and friends day at Ponyville. I must say that getting to know my father after so long of not knowing who he was is nice. Cousin Chrystalis says bonding with my father may have become the reason that I've become so open to others. Honestly, that might be part of it. But I think my friend; Luster Dawn; would have a thing or two to say in regards to that.
I like to think that while meeting and getting to know my father has had an impact in my change of heart, Luster Dawn and her friends showed me what true friendship can look like as they stood up to Astrotle Mondoli. When they did that, I found that my old belief regarding friendship was wrong. And for once, I couldn't be more glad that I was wrong. Friendship is about the ties that bind us all together and gives us the ability to support others through the worst moments of life. It's not like a spell you can pick up and cast on day one; no it takes work to build true friendship. And for once, I'm thankful for the work.
In the couple of weeks since Astrotle Mondoli's defeat, whenever I'm not at the castle with Twilight or Tempest, I'm over in Ponyville tracking down the Young Six and making amends with them. Same thing with the Cutie Mark Crusaders. I honestly can't wait to see their children. No doubt their children will become the next generation of the CMC. Silver Spoon's still trying to find her special somecreatrue. She started off with just ponies but branched out into other creatures after a few dead ends with the colts only wanting her for her wealth. Right now, she's currently with this dragon boy whose about her age. He reminds me of Spike in a way, as I've seen the dragon when he's not with Silver Spoon: That dragon has a crush on Silver Spoon and it was from day one long before they started dating. I wonder how long it'll be before he admits that and they start becoming more of a couple.
Geez I just realized Hearts and Hooves day is tomorrow. For now, it'll be nice to chill with my family and my friends. Luster, her friends, the CMC, and their special someponies are all there today for Friends & Family game night. As usual, I play game master as well as being one of the players.
We had such a fun time together, and soon it was close to evening time. However, as soon as our session closed, Rumble went up to Scootaloo.
"Hey Scoots...mind if I talk with you for a minute...while everyone is together." Rumble said.
"Sure Rumble. What's up?" Scootaloo asked.
"Well...see the thing is...I feel like I've really started to get attracted to you and who you are." Rumble said. Scootaloo smiled.
"Y'know...I've been feeling that same way myself." Scootaloo said.
"Wow...really? Well then..." Rumble said. "Scootaloo...I would like to ask you if...well...if you'd like to see just how far we can take our relationship..." He added. Scootaloo laughed.
"Of course Rumble. I'll gladly take my relationship with you to the next step." Scootaloo said, smiling before she kissed Rumble's cheek.
"Whoa! Scootaloo just kissed her coltfriend!" Sweetie Belle announced.
"About time though." Diamond Tiara said.
"For once, Deets is right." Apple Buck said.
"Thought you didn't like Mushy stuff, Scoots..." Button Mash said which got him an elbow from Sweetie. "Ow..."
"Kissing my special somepony isn't mushy." Scootaloo argued.
"Ironically...she's right." Silver Spoon said. Her dragon boyfriend wasn't there with her because of some family matters in the Dragon Lands.
"I think it's nice that you two are growing so close to one another." I said, smiling. "I'm still a bit young for that, but I hope I find my special somepony or somecreature someday." I added.
"I don't doubt that you will dear." Firefly said.
"I couldn't agree more." Chrysalis said.
"And we'll make sure to support you all the way." Luster Dawn said. Her friends all agreed with her.
"I hope to find my special somecreature someday too." Chrystalis said. "For now...it's nice to be with everyone." She added.
"Yep. You guys may have your special someponies and somecreatures, but sometimes it's great to hang out with your friends just as much as your significant others." I said.
"I could not have said that better myself." Twilight's voice rang out. She was coming in. "Sorry for interrupting, but I couldn't help but overhear things." Twilight said.
"Twilight, you really think what I said was good?" I asked. Twilight nodded.
"I know you've only just started on your path to good Cozy Glow, but if that statement is to be believed, then I have no doubt you will continue to discover the true nature of friendship." Twilight said.
"That sounds nice." I said with a smile. "And I honestly can't wait to learn more." I said.
Indeed. I could hardly wait.

Author's Note
Happy early Valentine's day everyone, enjoy this short chapter.
Season 2, Episode 3: Heart's & Hooves Day
Cozy Glow's P.O.V.
It's my first Heart's and hooves day since my release. Silver Spoon's Boyfriend is here with me, the CMC, and Luster's group. Luster is taking her time to join us, talking with her mom.
"Hey Cozy Glow..." Apple Buck said to me.
"What's up, Apple Buck?" I asked.
"I'm just making sure you'll be okay, what with all the couples here." Apple Buck said.
"Hey, you guys have your special someponies, but I'm not jealous. I know my special somepony is out there, somewhere." I said with a smile. "It's just going to take time to find him. Or her. Who knows, maybe I'll find I'm more into mares then stallions." I said.
"Ah'm sure you'll find yer special somepony someday soon." Apple Buck said.
"I hope your right." I said.
"SAY WHAT?!" Silver Spoon suddenly shouted. Her dragon boyfriend had pulled her aside for the time being.
"...And I'm willing to bet Silver Spoon's dragon boyfriend just told her about the crush he's had on her since long before they started dating." I said.
"You knew?!" Apple Buck exclaimed. "But he was so secretive about that. He's only really told me." He said.
"I saw how he got around her. It was easy for me to figure out the rest from there. Don't forget, I know what motivates people. It's part of my talent of being a strategist." I said.
"Wait that's been your talent this whole time?" Apple Buck asked.
"Duh! How else do you think I was able to decieve you all so well when I did the magic draining thing? I'm doing my best to apply being a strategist in a better way now though." I said. I touched my necklace. "My mother made it very clear in her letter that this necklace is very special. How special, I don't exactly know. The extent of that died with my mother it seems. But it must be pretty special if it was given to her by an angel." I explained.
"You think it might be able to give you alicorn powers temporarily if you make enough friends?" Apple Buck asked.
"Possibly. There's also something that's been bothering me. And it's Orbarous." I said.
"Right. The destroyer of worlds that we read about in Astrotle's journals..." Apple Buck said.
"Have you ever wondered if there's more then one version of our world sometimes, Apple Buck?" I asked. "Because I'm willing to bet there is, and if so, then Orbarous is a much bigger threat then we realize." I added. "If this necklace has the kind of power to temporally turn me into an alicorn, then I might need to borrow that power to defeat Orbarous." I said.
"Your already thinking ahead about that whole thing, aren't you?" Apple Buck said.
"I kind of have to, or we'll be caught off guard. This kind of thing is just like chess: You have to think two and sometimes three moves ahead to win. And if we plan on defeating Orbarous, someone has to be thinking of these sorts of things." I said.
"It's nice to see you put your talents to use like this." Apple Buck said. "Though maybe sometime, we could play chess with one another." He added.
"You wouldn't last more then seven moves against me." I said.
"Is that a challenge?" Apple Buck asked.
"It's more so fact. Your too laid back and easy going." I said. "See, the way people act and think carries over into their chess strategy." I added.
"And because you had that power mindset, you tend to play aggressively." Apple Buck said.
"Actually, I tend to play very strategically; always thinking three and sometimes four moves ahead." I said.
"You must be really good at chess then." Apple Buck said.
"Maybe sometime you can come watch me play someone. Your friends can come too." I said.
Today may have been a lazy day, but I feel like I'm growing closer to the friends I have here now that I've seen the light.
My Little Pony: Dawn of Friendship
Season 2, Episode 4: Monster VS Demon
“So your still pen pals with Tirek huh?” Twilight asked Cozy Glow.
“It’s mostly correspondence chess, but every now and then he let me know of things like the mirror pound that he siphons magic from so it’s magic no longer is a harm to life as we know it.” Cozy Glow Said.
“He’s taken up siphoning magic from dangerous sources?” Twilight asked.
“I told him it’d be the best way for him to do good his own way. He was unable to find his brother, so when I read about the mirror pool, I suggested he siphon magic from things like that so that beings like Astrotle Mondoli and Oreburus can’t use them.” Cozy Glow said.
“So he’s still not accepting friendship...” Twilight Said.
“But he wants to do something good. Which is why I pointed him in that direction. Total Win-Win: He gets to absorb magic, and Eldridge Horrors can’t use things they can use on us like the mirror pool.” Cozy Glow Said.
“I suppose it does give him a purpose. I suppose I can allow it.” Twilight Said.
“Oh by the way, Tirek did write to me to ask you if he could stop by Ponyville for a visit. I’ll watch over him, make sure he behaves.” Cozy Glow Said.
“Very well. But only because I trust you more then I do him.” Twilight Said.
“Great!” Cozy Glow got to Writing a letter right away.
“Just one question: How are you sending mail back and forth?” Twilight Asked.
“A little spell he taught me. Did you know that every species of ponies can use magic? Sure it’s just a simple letter teleport spell but I’ve gotten the hang of it.” Cozy Glow Said.
“But...harnessing that magic is supposed to be near impossible and should’ve taken you years to master!” Twilight Said.
“Don’t forget: Half-changeling.” Cozy Glow Said.
“Oh...right...” Twilight Said.
Cozy Glow met with Tirek outside of Ponyville. Luster Dawn and her friends soon joined them. As soon as word got out Chrysalis and Chrystalis soon came as well.
“Chrysalis?” Tirek was confused.
“You know mommy?” Chrystalis asked.
“Yes I do sweetie. Tirek, it’s nice to see you doing well for yourself.” Chrysalis Said.
“You have a daughter too?” Tirek questioned.
“Oops...forgot to mention that...” Cozy Glow Said.
“Oh Cozy Glow...” Luster Said.
“And who is this?” Tirek asked.
“Luster Dawn. We saw one another during the Monster Horde battle but you left before we could be properly introduced.” Luster Said.
“Oh great...another pony...” Tirek Said.
“Tirek, please be behave. If I need to, I have the authority to call Princess Twilight on you if you don’t behave...” Cozy Glow Warned.
“Ugh...Fine. Can we move somewhere else at least? I feel sick...” Tirek Said.
“Oh no...you could’ve waited to come by if you were sick. Friendship or not, I care for you you know that.” Cozy Glow Said.
“No not coming down with something. Something in the air is magic my stomach churn.” Tirek Said.
“Huh? But there’s nothing here that...” Luster’s Eyes went Wide. “Another Eldrich Horror is near; everyone get ready to rumble!” Luster Dawn Said. Suddenly Astrotle Mondoli showed up only he looked different.
“Didn’t we blast you with the Friendship Laser?!” Cozy Glow exclaimed.
“You blasted me with something. And it’s made my dark god VERY angry...” Astrotle Mondoli Said before he suddenly took on some sort of massive black form resembling a giant scorpion. “Which is why this time...I’m going to use my full power!” The Demon Devil Said.
“That’s a new trick...” Cozy Glow Said.
“Gah! What is this creature?! It’s giving off magic vibes that are making me sick!” Tirek Said.
“Tirek...could you possibly have the ability to sense Eldrich Horrors?” Luster Dawn ask.
“Not sure what those are but I could sense this creature coming from a mile away...” Tirek Said.
“In that case, you may be able to help us later. For now, let’s deal with this Demon Devil!” Cozy Glow Said.
The battle raged in for a while. Strong as the demon devil’s new form was, Luster’s group was stronger.
“How long has it been since I’ve been pushed this far? It’s been so long since I last faced such strong mortals. I shall show you my true form. Thousands of eons have passed since I last took that form.” Astrotle Said before his form morphed into some huge bug like entity that was a giant mishmash of things.
“Gah! This thing...it isn’t normal!” Tirek Said.
“That’s because he’s an Eldrich Horror; a truely evil and powerful creature that only acts on it’s own needs.” Luster Dawn Said. “It’s an abomination that we need to get rid of.” Luster said.
“Well I’ve had just about enough of this creature’s foul magic!” Tirek Said before joining the fight. With his assist, Astrotle was forced back to his default form.
“I...I have lost...again! Oraberous...avenge me my master!” Astrotle Mondoli Said before he turned to dust again.
My Little Pony: Dawn of Friendship
Season 2, Episode 5: Cozy Sunset
Cozy Glow's P.O.V.
So turns out being near Astrotle Mondoli made Tirek pretty sick so for the time being he's staying at the Castle of Friendship which means I now have to stay over in Ponyville. Not that I mind; I get to make more Ponyville friends that way and hang out with the ones I've already made.
"Why are you so into this whole friendship thing all of a sudden?" Tirek asked me yesterday after we brought him back.
"It's a long story, and you would sooner use your powers to drain my magic then properly listen to the whole thing." I said to him.
Fact of the matter is, I knew I was right. I know him. He'd drain my magic just so I would shut up about everything I've been through half-way through. Fact of the matter is, I'd do the same too if I was my old self. Just because I've accepted proper friendship into my life doesn't mean I don't have some ambitions still in me. Like for instance, I do want to be an Alicorn again. But I can take my time. I'm not going to rush that. I'll think of some way to become an Alicorn again, but for now, I'm content with making friends.
"Hey." I was brought out of my inner monologue by Sunset Shimmer. "Cozy Glow, right?" She asked me.
"And you would be Sunset Shimmer; I've seen you around here and there." I said. She came up to me and even had a chess board.
"I heard from Twilight you like playing chess. Figured you'd like to play me." She said.
"Meh...I guess if your offering, I won't refuse. I will beat you in seven moves." I said. After a while though, I felt like I should've put a back hoof into my mouth. I didn't beat her in seven moves; we ended up reaching a stalemate after one hundred and twenty eight moves.
"A Stalemate..." Sunset announced.
"You know...your the second person ever whose been able to get me into stalemate. Trust me on that one. The first person was actually my own father and he was a pro." I said. "I thought that you would be easy to beat...turns out you play pretty ambitiously yet strategically. Which is weird. That's supposed to be my thing." I said. Sunset chuckled.
"Twilight never told you about my past huh?" Sunset asked.
"Admittedly, no. No she didn't." I said.
We spent the next few hours talking about Sunset's past and what she's done in the world beyond the mirror Twilight kept in this castle that apperently lead to a world of humans. I couldn't help but feel a special kinship with her so I told her about what I did in this world which is of Equestria. To say we had similar ambitions to the point where we could be good friends was an understatement. I then told her something I haven't told anyone else yet.
"Believe it or not though Sunset, I kind of want to become an Alicorn again. Not for the power, but to continue helping and leading others. I know what motivates people. It's part of my talent of being a strategist." I said.
"Well Cozy, you wouldn't be the only one looking to be an Alicorn." Sunset admitted. "I do to, but I know it's something that has to be earned. And I want to do things in this world that can help me achieve the right." She added, smiling.
"That's a good outlook Sunset." I said. "I guess it wouldn't be special if it was easy to get. Sure Flurry Heart is the only exception to that sort of rule, and while Grogar's Bell allowed me to become an Alicorn without earning it, it wasn't permanent it seems. Twilight's Alicornhood seems to be a part of her now because I know from her friend Rainbow Dash that Twilight used to be a Unicorn like you." I explained.
"Becoming an Alicorn isn't exclusive to Unicorns though. From what Twilight told me, Cadence used to be a Pegasus not unlike yourself. So it's possible for other pony races to become Alicorns too." Sunset said, smiling.
"Well I'm also a half-breed; specifically half-pony, half-changeling." I said. "Something I found out a while back." I said.
"Doesn't matter what you are, I'm sure you'll earn being on the same level as Twilight someday. I have faith that you will." Sunset said, smiling.
"That's really nice of you Sunset. Let's try and earn being Alicorns together why don't we?" I asked, reaching out a hoof to Sunset. She smiled and hoof bumped me. My necklace reacted to my new bound, but suddenly it started glowing even brighter then before. It was bright enough to attract everyone to the same room. When the light finally ended, I shook my head.
"...Oh my gosh..." Sunset said. I couldn't say anything and had my eyes closed but eventually whatever happened passed.
"...That...was a rush..." I said when I could finally speak. "...Why's everyone looking at me?" I asked. I checked a nearby mirror. No horn.
"For a brief moment...you were an Alicorn." Luster said.
"That's impossible." I said. But then I took a look at my necklace. The pendent on it had grown larger. "...Unless..." I tried concentrating on the bounds I've been making since my revival. My necklace glowed bright before I suddenly was an Alicorn again. But I could tell it was temporary. After a bit, it faded.
"I think your necklace may have granted you the ability to become some sort of Faux Alicorn." Sunset said.
"This thing really is special then. Which means my mother was right..." I said. "There's something special about this pendent...and it might just be the key to becoming a true Alicorn." I added.
If my necklace reacts to me making friends, then perhaps if I deepen my friendships enough and make enough friends, it may make me an Alicorn on a more permanent basis.
Author's Note
PLOT DEVOLOPMENT! Also yeah, I decided to create a temporary Alicorn form called "Faux Alicorn"; a form earned that's somewhere between an actual Alicorn and a pony's original race. A Faux Alicorn state may be temporary, but during that time, a Pony does have the strength and capabilities of an Alicorn; just not the full effects of being one. The full effects still have to be earned and when they are, a pony will be a permanent Alicorn.
My Little Pony: Dawn of Friendship
Season 2, Episode 6: Sunset at Dawn
Sunset was moving through the castle of Friendship; her new place of residence; we she found Luster Dawn in the castle Library.
"Oh hey Auntie Sunset." Luster Dawn said.
"Luster please...I may be your mother's friend, but I'm practically the same age as you." Sunset said, chuckling before going over to Luster.
"Yeah about that. Mother and Father were both surprised to see that your pony body hasn't grown as old as theirs even though your clearly as old as they are." Luster said. "So I've done some digging over the past few days, and I think I've come to a theory." She added.
"What's your theory?" Sunset asked.
"That the human world has a different concept of time then ours. You've spent like what? Several years in the human world? And yet here you are, fully ponified again and your pony body has barely aged more then a year; give or take a couple of months." Luster Dawn said. "Yet when you look at Twilight's friends, my mom, or heck, just about anyone, and compare how they look now to when they were a few years ago, this leads me to believe that one month passing in the human world, is like a week passing in our world." Luster Dawn said. "So I think...that you've accidently caused yourself to live longer then you would have otherwise had you chosen to stay in one world over the other." She added.
"...No wonder your Twilight's own personal protégée." Sunset said with a smile sitting beside Luster Dawn. "You two are quite a lot alike, you know that?" She asked.
"I am?" Luster Dawn asked.
"I think that's why she picked you out of so many others. She saw the same signs about how you were struggling to make friends like she was. I think that's why she already had a plan in place by the time you approached her about friendship. She sent you to Ponyville to learn friendship just like Celestia did for her. And I think you'll do fine in that department." Sunset asked. "After all, you remind me so much of her. And I know two versions of her." Sunset smiled.
"The other Twilight's not a princess though right?" Luster asked.
"Nope. When me, her, and that world's rainbow dash came here during a certain boat incident, and that world's Twilight turned into a unicorn. Then again, the Twilight from this world was originally a unicorn before she became an Alicorn." Sunset said. "And I think if you do enough good in the world, you too could become an Alicorn." She added.
"I'm not really looking to join royalty here." Luster Said. "I'm fine with being a Unicorn my entire life." She said.
"Becoming an Alicorn means more then becoming Royalty, Luster; it makes you a leader, a symbol; something for others to look up to." Sunset explained.
"That...actually sounds nice. But I wouldn't mind if I never became an Alicorn." Luster said.
"Fair enough. Everyone has their own end goals. So Luster, what's your ultimate ambition? What do you want to leave as your mark on the world?" Sunset asked.
"I want to to become the world's ultimate mage!" Luster Dawn said.
"Pretty big ambitions...at least your learning about friendship along the way. Who knows? Maybe by becoming a high mage of some kind, you'll unlock your own Faux Alicorn state." Sunset said, smiling.
"Yeah...I wouldn't mind that." Luster said, smiling back.
Author's Note
A short chapter this time around, but I really wanted to give some more slice of life moments here.
My Little Pony: Dawn of Friendship
Season 2, Episode 7: Enter Time Stop
It was late at night within the Castle of Friendship which is where everyone was staying; including Luster Dawn and her friends. However, a mysterious figure snuck into the rooms of Luster Dawn, Molson, Summer Breeze, Kale, Namu, and Chitin. There was a seventh room the figure entered, and that was the room of Cozy Glow. In the first six rooms, the mysterious figure stole the Reforged Elements of Harmony. However, when the figure was in Cozy Glow's room, he tried to take Cozy's mysterious necklace only to get blinded by it when it suddenly grew a very bright red at him. This caused Cozy Glow to wake up in a hurry, and find the figure fleeing from the scene of the crime.
The next day, the discovery of the now missing elements was taken note of, and Cozy Glow was already calling for an emergency meeting in the map room, with herself sitting in Spike's old chair and the rest of the new friends coming in.
"Cozy Glow, what the hay is going on? Where are the elements?" Kale asked.
"Last night, there was this mysterious figure. He came into my room and tried to steal my necklace. I managed to catch him fleeing without it because of a bright red glow coming from my necklace." Cozy Glow answered. "However that was where our culprit fled the scene." She said.
"Can we trust her on this?" Namu asked Luster Dawn.
"I trust her at the least." Luster Dawn said.
"Looking for something?" A new voice rang out. Suddenly, a human appeared, and he was floating in the air above the map.
"What the..." Molson said.
"Well at least we know Cozy Glow wasn't Lying..." Chitin said.
"Hello boys and girls. You can call me Time Stop." The human said.
"You! Your shape matches the figure I saw fleeing my room after you tried to take my necklace!" Cozy Glow said.
"Namu thinks we shouldn't accuse..." Namu starts off.
"Caught red handed. Gotta say though, piece of advice: That necklace of yours is more special then you think it is, kid." Time Stop said.
"...Namu shut up now..." Namu said.
"What exactly do you mean it's more special then I think it is?" Cozy Glow asked.
"Doesn't matter right now. What do you know about the person who stole the Elements of Harmony?" Summer Breeze asked.
"You mean these things?" Time Stop said, and suddenly out of nowhere he brought out the Elements of Harmony. "Yes, your looking at your thief right here. But don't worry too much, I took them because I want to play a game." Time Stop said. Twilight suddenly teleported in.
"You will be playing no such game!" Twilight announced.
"The only way I'll return your elements of harmony is if my game is played. And don't worry, they'll be returned without any fuss once my game is completed. Besides I need the entertainment. You try living in a pocket dimension where the only thing to do is to stare at clocks all day." Time Stop said.
"Fine. So what's your game, Time Stop." Luster Dawn asked.
"So glad you asked! My game works like this: I'm going to scatter five of the Elements of Harmony across your world." Time Stop motioned to the map below. "You can collect them in any order. Once you have the five I scattered, come back here with them. However, there are three rules you need to keep in mind. The first rule, is that only the wielders of these reforged elements of harmony as well as Cozy Glow may participate in my game; no one else may participate. The second rule is that once you find an element of harmony, it won't be as simple as picking it up; you'll have to fight a guardian that I personally created in order to obtain the element. The third and final rule is that I want you to keep me entertained." Time Stop said.
"And if I overrule your game?" Twilgiht asked.
"Dear Princess...you must not know about the time when someone broke my rules. Because the last time someone broke my rules, they became a statue." Time Stop said. That made Twilight gulp. "Besides, I've already said I'd return the elements as soon as the new wielders and Cozy Glow win my game. I was PLANNING on scattering all six elements and keeping Cozy Glow's Necklace with me, but as Cozy Glow pointed out already, my original plan didn't work out so well." Time Stop said.
"But your still letting me participate? Why?" Cozy Glow asked.
"Because this game is meant to increase the bonds the seven of you share. So don't think of me as someone like Sombra or Discord. This is meant as a team building exercise. Nothing more. I'm not like those Eldritch Horrors; evil Demi-gods who kill others; and besides. I was told by a third party to do this because you need to be ready for Orabarous. As such, you'll need to battle as if your life was on the line. You'll need to do so in order to beat Orabarous because unlike me, he's going to capitalize on you giving him anything less then your best and kill you on the spot." Time Stop explained.
"So...what does that make you? Some sort of anti-Eldritch Horror?" Luster Dawn asked.
"The right term is calling me a Staple Guardian; the exact opposite of an Eldritch Horror. Our job is to guide and prepare others for the trails ahead." Time Stop said. "So while my methods are unorthodox, you need the preparation for Orabarous." Time Stop said.
"Fine...you can have your game. But if you try anything funny, I'll be watching you." Twilight said.
"You wound me. Are you ready to begin?" Time Stop asked.
My Little Pony: Dawn of Friendship
Season 2, Episode 9: The Game Part 2
Author's Note
Music Used:
By the way, the characters from the Group Guardian Battle are Gilda, Blueblood, Pinkmena (Pinkie Pie's depressed alter-ego), Gladmane (Flim & Flam would not have worked due to being two characters), Tree Hugger, and Sunset Shimmer. Only one that could be a stretch is Tree Hugger, imo.
Season 2, Episode 9: The Game Part 2
Luster Dawn's P.O.V.
Loyalty, Generosity, Laughter, Honesty, and Kindness...
We had managed to secure the five elements that Time Stop had scattered across Equestria and are now heading back to the castle to confront Time Stop. Of course, we had to deal with evil doubles of the original elemental holders, but we managed to get through it regardless. Now it was time to face Time Stop.
So we entered the Castle of Friendship and found Time Stop in the Library.
"So, your here at least. Good. I was hoping you'd get here before I started getting bored. Now it's time for your final battle. Allow me to introduce to you some additional guardians." Time Stop said before suddenly summoning six more figures, but these were the elements, they were some interesting figures.
"What the heck..." I said.
"Behold dark version of someone related to each original bearer of harmony." Time Stop said. I didn't recognize most of these characters, the only one I recognize being Sunset Shimmer and I know it's not the real one.
Group Guardian Battle
Well regardless we had to do battle with them. Each one of us took one who we thought we'd do better against with me and Cozy Glow tag teaming the fake Sunset Shimmer. Suffice it to say, this did not take us long at all.
"Oh come on, did you have to win so easily? I suppose I'll just have to fight you myself." Time Stop said before he suddenly started warping all over the place.
Time Stop Battle Startup
He was moving really fast, only stopping to launch an attack and even then he didn't send out anything we could counter easily.
"Were you expecting me to do something where you could defeat me easily? Sorry, but I don't really do that sort of thing. Which I guess makes me invincible huh? THAT'S TOO BAD!" Time Stop said before continuing. At some point, I actually managed to hit him during one of his attacks, interrupting it.
"...Did you just attack me while I was attacking you?" Time Stop asked. "This doesn't count, right? Surely this doesn't count..." He argued, but it was worthless. "THAT DOES IT; TIME TO DIE!" He yelled out before resuming the battle.
Time Stop Battle Proper
Thus this allowed me to get a feel on when I could attack him during his attack cycles, and after a while he tried resuming those dark guardians we fought not too long ago; the ones that included the fake Sunset Shimmer. We managed to beat them and then resumed our focus on Time Stop eventually something started happening to him.
"EXPIRED!" Time Stop yelled out of nowhere after being struck enough times by my magic and this flashy effect occurred which blinded us all. When we finally regained our vision, we were in some sort of void with a weak looking Time Stop so we started going towards him.
"So weak...please..." Time Stop said as we got closer towards him. "Please...have mercy..." He said as we got even closer to him. "Please...HAVE A SEAT!" Time Stop suddenly was huge and in front of us before we were back in the map room and were now sitting in the chairs. "I'll be honest with you...you have potential. But your going to need to access that potential better if you plan on defeating Orbarous." He said. "What? Did you really think I was gonna kill you this entire time? It was a façade if you can believe that." Time Stop explained. "See, I had to get you to do your absolute best against me because if you came at Orabarous with anything less then your best, you'd be dead and he WON'T hesitate to just kill you if you don't put up the same kind of fight against him as you did me. Believe me on that one." He continued. "Even still, you'll have to do better then this if you want to beat Orbarous. I suggest getting some team training in while you can. All the same, this is where I leave you. Oh, but before I go..." Time Stop said before suddenly handing over the Element of Magic. "Here...take the last element of harmony. Just so you know, the person who told me to do this will be arriving here shortly. And you best be on your best behavior around him. He's on the same strength level as Orbarous, but don't think he'll do your job for you. Until our next encounter..." Time Stop said before he suddenly vanished into thin air.
"...Anyone else worried about that guy's boss?" Cozy Glow asked.
"I think we are all worried..." I said.
"A worry that is very much misplaced." A strange new voice said. Turning towards the doors, we spotted a strange figure who had no defining race; all we could see was a hunched over figure whose entire body shape is hidden behind a giant cloak, whose eyes are hidden underneath a strange hat, has a really long beard, and carrries a strange staff. "Greetings to you; you may address me by my title. Call me The Observer." The strange being said.

"As bad as Tirek is...he's looking very ill and that's something that no one should have to suffer through." I said. "I just wish sensing Orabarous didn't make him this ill..." I added.
"All the more reason to stop Orabarous then. Even if Tirek did a lot of bad things, he has absorbed a lot of the magical things that could be used for evil like the Mirror Pound." Luster Dawn said.
"If you ask me, it's a good thing Tirek absorbed the magic from that old place." Pinkie Pie said. "Worst mistake of my life." She added.
"Yeah, it's best we try and not talk about that incident. I still get nightmares about it from time to time." Rainbow Dash said. Gilda who was there looked at Rainbow Dash funny.
"Really? Just how bad are we talking about for it to give the current captain of the wonderbolts nightmares from time to time?" Gilda asked.
"Oh trust me...you don't wanna know." Rainbow Dash said.
"We should probably be told about the whole incident later; we're in the middle of trying to figure out where Orabarous is gonna show up." Sunset said.
"Good point." Ember said. "Anyone have any suggestions?" She asked.
"Yeah I got one." I said, looking up into the sky.
"Really? That's a good thing." Ember said.
"It's going to be RIGHT outside the castle." I said.
"...That's a joke right?" Ember asked.
"I don't think she's joking..." Luster Dawn said, using a pair of binoculars to view an incoming meteorite that was pure black. "Unless I'm crazy, that meteorite coming towards Ponyville is Orabarous." Luster Dawn added.
"EVERYONE GET AS MANY CITIZANS AS YOU CAN EVECUATED!" Twilight yelled out.
Soon Orbarous was in orbit over the world.
"Here he comes..." I said. "I will need to do my part somehow...I only wish I could help Starlight." I said.
"But you said that you felt something was calling you out here." Luster said.
"Yeah. I can't explain it. There was this voice it said that I had to participate. I don't know why, but...I felt compelled to obey." I said.
"All we can hope for is whoever has the ability to connect to other worlds is participating in this battle." Luster said.
"Agreed." I said. But something had been bugging me about that. I think that I should know who it is. But who it is is unknown even to me.
Third Person P.O.V.
Without warning, Orabarous suddenly crash landed right in front of the Castle of Friendship.
"Orabarous..." Luster Dawn growled out.
"So, I've been expected..." The mysterious beast said. All of the creatures there didn't expect such a response from what they assumed was just a mindless being. "But that doesn't matter, your foresight to my arrival will mean nothing shortly. All worlds will be destroyed, for that is the reason I was created." Orabarous said.
"What kind of beast are you? I've never seen such a creature of your structure before." Twilight said.
"How dare you call me a beast! I used to be a GOD I'll have you know, until I had my god powers siphoned away by The Greater God who did so in order to banish me from the Relm of the Gods. That being said, you mortals will not be able to defeat me. You are not warriors of light after all!" Orabarous stated.
"This thing used to be some sort of god?" Cozy Glow questioned.
"Now enough talking, it is time I began my destruction, starting with you!" Orabarous said and began attacking everyone.
The battle raged on for quite some time, and despite the efforts of both sides, neither side was giving an inch for even a second.
"Fascinating..." Orabarous stated at some point. "Despite none of you being warriors of light, your power is not that far off from matching those that I have faced. Even still, you have yet to grasp my true power!" Orabarous said and began building up some sort of new attack.
"Whatever that attack is, don't think any of us are just going to sit back and take it!" Cozy Glow shouted. "Especially me; your servant tried to turn my friends against me, only to fail! And now more then ever I realize that friendship is a special kind of magic, one that you won't find in any text book." Cozy Glow said. Suddenly, her necklace started to glow which canceled out Orabarous's attack.
"What the...no!" Orabarous noticed Cozy Glow's Necklace. "THAT NECKLACE...IT CAN'T BE POSSIBLE!" It shouted.
"I won't allow you to decimate this world, or any world for that matter!" Cozy Glow stated as her necklace grew brighter. "AND I'M SURE THAT ANYONE FROM THOSE OTHER WORLDS WOULD NOT WANT YOU TO RUIN THEIR WORLDS! Good or evil, it matters not what kind of world it is, all that matters is the will to live!" Cozy Glow stated before suddenly the fabric of reality itself began to rip open. "AND THAT'S WHY I BELIEVE ALL OF THEM SHOULD FIGHT FOR THIER RIGHT TO EXISTANCE!" Cozy Glow yelled out. Suddenly a whole bunch of different versions of not just the original elements of Harmony, but also the various villains they've faced came through the rips in the fabric of time. It was a literal "who's who" gallery.
"WHAT...WHAT IS THIS?!" Orabarous yelled out in confusion. "THIS...THIS POWER...THIS WASN'T A POWER OF THE NECKLACE BEFORE...HOW ARE YOU DOING THIS?!" It yelled out further.
"Cozy Glow...she was the one..." Twilight realized. "She could connect all worlds together...through her necklace!" She added.
"All those who exist deserve the right to fight for their very lives! Good or evil doesn't matter here today, for all will be united against a single entity: YOU!" Cozy Glow pointed a hoof at Orabarous. "AND TOGETHER, ALL OF US FROM ALL WALKS OF LIFE WILL PUT AN END TO YOUR DESTRUCTION BEFORE IT CAN EVEN BEGIN!" She added before every one charged.
All except on small black filly and a different version of Twilight.
"...You know what you have to do, Nyx." That version of Twilight said to the black filly that looked like a filly version of Nightmare Moon.
"I do mommy." The filly said stepping forward. "I do..." She added before bathing herself in a bright black light.
Author's Note
For those curious as to why Orabarous is being classified as an "it" it's because it seems while Orabarous has a male voice actor in the game "Bravely Default: Where the Fairy Flies", it's most likely Orabarous doesn't have a set gender as his initial form can swap between the male and female party members freely. Also, yes, I decided to include the version of Twilight as well as Nyx from the story "Past Sins" created by the artist Pen Strokes.

Third Person P.O.V.
As the black light faded from Nyx, the filly was now much bigger in size and much stronger too. The version of Twilight that was with her also looked like a pony version of Midnight Sparkle, only neither was evil. While Nyx did look like a modified Nightmare Moon now, neither one was evil.
"Are you ready my daughter?" Past Sins Twilight asked Nyx.
"Yes mother. Let us end this fiend." Nyx said before the two joined the fray.
With so many different versions of the original elements and the villians, it wasn't long before Orabarous was destroyed and vanquished out of the world. Afterwords, Past Sins Twilight and Nyx returned to normal.
"That...was...AWESOME!" Main Rainbow Dash yelled out.
"Heh...I agree with that." Sombraverse Rainbow Dash said.
"This...is strange..." Main Applejack said looking over at Sombraverse Applejack.
"Your not the only ones finding this strange." That voice belonged to Main Celestia, who arrived with Main Luna who were looking over at Moonverse Nightmare Moon.
"Cozy Glow, do you think you can return them back home now?" Main Twilight asked Main Cozy Glow.
"I'm...not sure how I brought them here in the first place. Until I figure it out, what's the harm in chatting with our alternate selves for a bit?" Main Cozy Glow said.
"Yeah, chill." That was a different version of Cozy Glow, one seemingly who became Empress. "Besides, I'm fine with waiting for me to go back to my world." Empress Cozy Glow said.
"Golly...did I always fake things like that?" Main Cozy Glow asked.
"...How'd you know I was faking it?" Empress Cozy Glow said.
"Because I am you." Main Cozy Glow said.
"Chill you two." Cozyverse Gallus said. "Empress, we shouldn't try to make a scene; this isn't our place to do so." He added.
"Fine...but you better get me some grapes when we get home." Cozyverse Cozy Glow said. Shaking her head Main Twilight turned away from the group of the Main Young 6 and the Cozyverse Young 6 only to feel a young filly prodding her leg.
"Wow...I thought it was you." Nyx said. "You must be this world's version of Twilight Sparkle, right?" She asked.
"I am. And you are? You look like a filly version of Nightmare Moon." Main Twilight said.
"That's not her fault." Past Sins Twilight said, coming up to her counterpart. "...Damn, I'm going to look good in the future I think." She said causing her counterpart to blush.
"For your information...I was created by magic that fused leftover essence of Nightmare Moon with blood from my Twilight." Nyx said. "My Twilight named me Nyx. It's nice to meet you. Don't worry, I'm a good filly." She added.
"I can sense that within you, young one." Main Celestia said, coming up to the chatting group.
"Oh hey, your this world's version of Princess Celestia right? Please don't punish me for using dark magic during the battle. It was for a good purpose..." Nyx said.
"First off, it wouldn't be my place to do so if I wasn't retired. Second off, as I just stated, I am retired from the throne." Main Celestia said.
"Besides, she's been using her dark magic for good." That was Past Sins Celestia, who had yet to retire.
"Oh hey Princess Celestia." Nyx said. "Did ya see me and mother? I've been getting better at making our battle forms." She added.
"Indeed you have, little Nyx." Past Sins Celestia said. "Just another accomplishment under your belt since you exposed Queen Chrysalis's secret plot at the Canterlot Wedding a few months ago." She added.
"Wait what?" That got Main Twilight's attention.
"Oh yeah, you probably did something silly like try and oust Queen Chrysalis verbally didn't you?" Past Sins Twilight asked her counterpart.
"That's...correct...how did you...?" Main Twilight said.
"It's like I told my other self..." Main Cozy Glow suddenly was beside Main Twilight. "She knows you." Main Cozy Glow added.
"It's true. I know that's what you did because it's what I would've done had Nyx not come up with a better plan." Past Sins Twilight said.
"She may have made up a lie to enact that plan..." Past Sins Applejack spoke up. "But if it weren't for her plan, we'd probably be changeling food or somethin'." She said.
"Isn't honesty your thing too?" Main Applejack asked her Counterpart.
"It is, but Nyx said something afterwards that even Ah can't argue with." Past Sins Applejack said.
"All I said was that sometimes, it takes one lie in order to expose the truth behind another lie." Nyx said. Main Applejack couldn't help but smile.
"That does sound like something Ah can't argue with." Main Applejack said.
Meanwhile, Sombraverse Sombra had finished chatting with Sombraverse Twilight which Main Twilight took as a sign to wrap this up.
"So...this is great and all..." Sombraverse Rainbow Dash said, beating Main Twilight to the punch. "But how exactly are we all going to get back to our respective homes?" Sombraverse Rainbow Dash asked.
"I...don't know..." Main Cozy Glow said.
"The same way you were brought here." A voice said. Suddenly everyone looked towards the source, only to find The Observer walking up to their gathering.
"The same way they were brought here? What do you mean?" Main Twilight asked.
"I told you that one of you had the power to connect the versions of your world together, and that something in that someone's possession had that power." The Observer said before lifting...what all assumed was his hand but couldn't tell what it was because it too was obscure as the rest of him. Still, they all saw what he was pointing at.
"You mean...my necklace has that power?" Main Cozy Glow asked.
"That is correct. It was used long ago to vanquish Orabarous once, and it's time spent in your world has increased it's power to the point where it can physically draw in others from other worlds into yours as well as send ones from your world to others if you so choose." The Observer said.
"Right...then let me try..." Main Cozy Glow said, before focusing her thoughts. Suddenly the fabric of reality opened up once more, each group having their own portal to go through that had arrived from other worlds.
"As great as this was, I think you all should have no memory of this." Main Celestia said.
"I'm afraid it doesn't work that way with that necklace; the damage has already been done." The Observer said. "Even if you were to cast a memory block spell on them, they would remember the moment they were in their world anyways. Best to save yourself the trouble." He added.
"How do you know so much about my necklace?" Main Cozy Glow asked.
"That necklace was created by The Goddess of Light long ago." The Observer said. "During the time when Orabarous was still a god." He added.
"I see..." Main Cozy Glow said.
"Well it was nice meeting you all." Past Sins Twilight said.
"The same can be said for all of you." Main Twilight said. Everyone who was not the originals soon left to their own worlds.
"Good and evil, happiness and sadness...two sides always at war, but that war is necessary to let worlds like this one exist." The Observer said as the rifts closed up. "Never forget that." The Observer said before he mysteriously vanished once again.
"...You know, just now, I just learnt a friendship lesson myself." Main Twilight asked.
"What's that?" Luster Dawn asked her Mentor.
"That sometimes it doesn't matter what kind of world you come from, in some way, shape, or form, friendship will find a way to blossom." Main Twilight stated. Everyone looked out to the horizon as Twilight began setting the sun to close out the long day.
My Little Pony: Dawn of Friendship
Season 2, Episode 13: Mysterious Necklace
Sunset Shimmer was out and about before she suddenly spotted Cozy Glow holding her necklace to her face.
"Hey...what's up? Why you staring at that thing so much?" Sunset asked.
"It's something The Observer stated. He said that my necklace was created by the Goddess of Light. Thing is, when he said that, I got the feeling he was not referring to Celestia." Cozy Glow said.
"Well Alicorns may be the closest thing we have to gods, I have a feeling The Observer means what he said. He did say one of us already had the ability to connect to other worlds, and he wasn't wrong. So if he has to specifically call out 'The Goddess of Light' like that, then we know it can't be anyone that was there. He would've most likely said whom it was and which version of whom in particular." Sunset said.
"Good point. So, what do you say we go hang out with Luster Dawn today?" Cozy Glow asked.
"Sounds like fun." Sunset said, smiling. The two went off to go play with their friends.

This may have been a short chapter, but there wasn't much I could do to properly end off Season 2. Next Season however, things are going to get more interesting.

My Little Pony: Dawn of Friendship
Season 3, Episode 1: Out of This World Part 1
A young female anthro black fox girl is seen heading out from home and into a mysterious zone where she warps into a brand new world; undergoing change into a black Pony like creature with a horn.
Meanwhile, we join our usual gang of Cozy Glow, Luster's Group, the CMC, Diamond Tiara, Silver Spoon, Chrystalis, and Sunset Shimmer all enjoying a board game of some sort.
"I swear to Celestia that Diamond Tiara is way too good at this game." Sweetie Belle said.
"I can't help that I'm getting as lucky as I am." Diamond Tiara said.
"Plus you seem to have really good time with those Deal Cards." Sunset Shimmer said.
"You forgot that her father is a business pony, didn't you?" Cozy Glow asked.
"I don't think I ever met the human counterpart of Diamond Tiara's father. If I did, I would have known." Sunset said.
"Because he would've still been a businessman, right?" Luster Dawn asked to which Sunset only nodded.
"I just hope the human versions of Twilight and her friends are doing okay." Apple Buck said.
"Most likely they are." Scootaloo said. Suddenly out of nowhere the friendship map activated.
"WHOA WHAT THE..." Chrystalis said before suddenly a giant floating jellyfish took off with the mirror to the Human World.
"THAT THING HAS THE MIRROR, QUICK AFTER IT!" Luster Dawn yelled out, leading the charge towards the giant floating jellyfish.
The group followed the Giant Floating Jellyfish out towards the plains area just inbetween Ponyville and Sweet Apple Acres before the Giant Floating Jellyfish came to a complete stop.
"Is this another Eldritch Horror?" Sunset asked.
"I don't know...I didn't anything like this in the book I used to look up that intel." Luster Dawn said.
"So you've followed me all the way here. Good. I detest doing any damage to your world for when I eventually plan on conquering it." The Giant Gloating Jellyfish said, it's voice very feminine.
"It talks?!" Chitin exclaimed.
"I'm a she thank you very much." The Giant Floating Jellyfish corrected.
"Doesn't matter what you are." Namu said. "Namu won't let you take over Equestria." He added.
"Equestria? Such small ambitions you must have for me." The Giant Floating Jellyfish said. "Why settle for one country, when I could rule the entire world?" She asked.
"The...the entire world?!" Molson exclaimed.
"We still won't let you get away with this! Now hand over that mirror!" Sunset Shimmer said.
"This old thing? The mirror to that 'human world' you came from? I hate to be the bringer of bad news, but for a while now, the mirror has began loosing it's ability to link your world with that human one." The Giant Floating Jellyfish said. "In fact, all portals between your worlds have been slowly but surely loosing that power." She added.
"But...then that means..." Kale started. "...That means that eventually, the two worlds will never be able to communicate with one another." He added.
"You are correct. And it's because of this mirror. See, this mirror is a nexus for the magic for the other portals. And once it loses it's magic, so too will all the other portals. So if someone were to sap the remaining power from that nexus...well...you get the idea." The Giant Floating Jellyfish said.
"But only Tirek has the power to do that." Cozy Glow countered.
"Fool, do you know who I am?" The Giant Floating Jellyfish.
"A really mean and nasty giant floating jellyfish monster?" Summer Breeze said. Everyone else face hooved, or in the giant floating jellyfish's case, face tentacled.
"Allow me to introduce myself to you, as I will eventually rule this world. I am Queen Nihilego, and you are but useless pawns in my game." The Giant Floating Jellyfish said before suddenly the newly dubbed "Queen Nihilego" started to absorb the magic from the mirror.
Meanwhile in the human world, the human counterparts of the main 6 had entered a portal to Equestria after discovering a new one.
Also meanwhile, the new black unicorn landed in Equestria before racing off towards Ponyville at speeds that suddenly caused her to break the sound barrier on the ground.
Back with our main cast, it wasn't long before Queen Nihilego to finish absorbing what magic remains in the mirror.
"Finished." Queen Nihilego said before carelessly dropping the mirror which shattered as soon as hit the ground from such a high altitude. "And already I feel much more powerful. As for the other portals? They're gone. If anyone was was inside of one, I SUPPOSE they will still be able to get through to this world but what are the odds of..." Queen Nihilego said before suddenly she got blasted by some sort of beam attack. "WHO DARES?!" Queen Nihilego exclaimed. Everyone looked at the source: A black unicorn.
"Hey you, your Queen Nihilego right? Father told me all about you. I thought for sure that would've been the only time you tried anything like this again. Well now get ready, because here comes Lola Snowden!" The Black Unicorn said.

My Little Pony: Dawn of Friendship
Season 3: Episode 2 - Out of This World Part 2
Lola launched another beam attack at Queen Nihilego.
"You...you also have that infuriating Hyper Beam attack?!" The Queen exclaimed.
"So you recognize the attack. It's something my father taught me. And I plan on using it to defend others from evil creatures like you." Lola said. She continued to attack until the Queen suddenly fled through a wormhole of some sort. "Gah...she got away..." Lola said.
"Thanks for the assist there. Who are you?" Luster Dawn asked.
"My name is Lola. It's a pleasure to meet you." Lola said. But then she looked at Scootaloo. "Wait you...your...Scootaloo..." Lola said before suddenly fainting.
"...What...the actual...heck?" Scootaloo asked.
Meanwhile, the now ponified humans were making their way, following Twilight and Rainbow Dash mainly as they headed for the Castle of Friendship.
As they were doing that however, many times Lola would come out of her fainted state only for someone to get a reaction out of her and cause her to faint all over again. Eventually Twilight Sparkle had to get involved and cast a calming spell on the new black unicorn every time she saw someone that got a reaction out of her.
"Well golly gee, this black unicorn must be a big fan of everyone." Cozy Glow said.
"True, but so far you, me, my friends, and the young six have not gotten a reaction out of her." Luster Dawn said.
"I'll...admit I didn't watch anything after season 7 and the movie..." Lola said.
"Excuse me? Season? Movie?" Main Rainbow Dash asked.
"Oh right...that's something I should probably mention now. I'm not really from your part of the multiverse." Lola said.
"What do you mean our part? I know different versions of Equestria exist what with Cozy Glow's necklace being able to bring people to and from other versions of Equestria." Twilight said.
"Gee, no wonder my father said he got tired of explaining this. See, your world of Equestria is just one part of the multiverse. Sure there are other versions of your world out there, but they are still your world in a way. But what I'm talking about goes beyond simply saying there's many different versions of your world for every action; or lack there of; that is taken. Your world and the various versions of it are just one world. The Multiverse is made up of many different worlds, each with their own variants. Like there's a world where animals are sentient and anthropomorphic, another world inhabited by creatures called Pokemon, and the list goes on and on..." Lola said. "Sure it sounds confusing, but it's the very founation of the multiverse as we know. Or rather as me and my family know it. My family's the only ones still alive who knows and understands just how vast the multi-verse even is. If you think Queen Nihiligo was bad, trust me, there are others who are just as bad if not worse then her." She explained.
"That's saying something minor about an Eldritch Horror." Luster Dawn said.
"Eldritch Horror? That's what your calling her? Gonna have to burst your bubble there. Queen Nihiligo is actually an Ultra Beast; a classification of a Pokemon that comes from a different dimension entirely." Lola said.
"So then that means Orabarous and Astortle Mondoli are also beings from other dimensions..." Main Twilight said.
"Astrotle Mondoli? The Demon Devil himself? Nah, he's from a different world but he is defiantly classified as an Eldrich Horror. Same goes with Orabarous." Lola said.
"So then what's an Eldrich Horror and what isn't? I'm confused..." Rainbow Dash said.
"It's good thing I showed up then, because you clearly needs some help." Lola said. Suddenly the ponified versions of the human versions of the main six came in.
"Um...hi? Sorry to drop in on you guys like this..." Human Fluttershy said.
"We got stranded on an island out in the middle of nowhere and now we need to get back to canterlot high before someone starts a nuclear war." Human Rainbow Dash said.
"Um...guys..." Sunset started. "I'm afraid...there is no way back...not anymore..." She added.
"Sunset? What do you mean there's no way back?" Human Applejack said.
"I'm going to have to fill you guys in, aren't I?" Sunset asked.
Some time later...
"...Well..." Is all Applejack could say.
"Yeah. We're stuck here. All seven of us. I was planning on visiting you gals at some point I promise it's just...after that Queen Nihilego drained the mirror of it's power, it cut the human world off from equestria for good. Which means you six are stuck here permently." Sunset said.
"Well that's unfortunate. I suppose we'll have to dye our coats and manes so we don't get confused for this world's versions of us." Human Rarity said. "I can take care of that no problem. Going to have to get used to my new magic after all." She added.
"I'll get my Rarity filled in first so she can help you. After that, I'm going to have to fill in my other friends too." Main Twilight said.
"You know I'm right here." Main Rainbow Dash said. "And check you out, nice wings." She said to her counterpart.
"Wow...you look super cool. Are you this world's version of me?" Human Rainbow Dash asked.
"Yep. You and me, we're going to be hanging out quite a lot. I can already tell." Main Rainbow Dash said.
"Oh great...they've already hit it off..." Human Applejack said.
"I expected as much. It makes sense that you will have a lot in common with my world's version of each of you. Well at least for most of you." Main Twilight then looked at Human Fluttershy.
"What? W-why are you looking at me like that?" Human Fluttershy said.
"Yeah...thing is this world's version of Fluttershy kind of already passed on..." Sunset said.
"Oh..." Human Fluttershy said.
"Chill. I'm sure you'll be fine." Lola said. "Like my father always says: Your fine so long as you adapt to your surroundings." She said.
"Ah wonder if we'll ever meet your pa; he sounds like an upstanding individual." Human Applejack said.
"Sorry, my father is married." Lola snapped a bit.
"Ah wasn't thinking of marrying him, ah swear!" Human Applejack said.
"Yeah right. Everyone says that. My father got tired of it after a long while." Lola said.
"Gee, how bad was he hounded by girls?" Human Rainbow Dash asked.
"Hey! That's not very nice." Main Rainbow Dash said.
"Don't act like your not curious." Human Rainbow Dash said.
"No more arguing." Main Twilight said.
"To answer your question...it was very bad. And that's saying the least." Lola said.
"Damn...that is worse then I thought." Human Rainbow Dash said.
"She didn't even explain that much..." Human Rarity said.
"I don't need anything more then that. I can just tell." Human Rainbow Dash said.
"You know...your actually alright after all." Main Rainbow Dash said.
"Hey, I should be. I am YOU after all." Human Rainbow Dash said. Before Twilight could interject again, the ground suddenly quaked.
"Wh-what was that?!" Human Twilight said.
"I don't think that was an normal earthquake." Twilight said.
"It wasn't. That quake came from one one specific location. It's something my father showed me. It's a place called 'The Vault of Secrets'." Lola said.

Season 3: Episode 4 - More Uncozy Headaches.
As everyone got back home, suddenly Cozy Glow facehoofed.
"Doh! I just realized something." Cozy Glow said.
"What's that?" Lola asked.
"This entire time I could've just used my necklace to get everyone back home." Cozy Glow said. Lola looked at Cozy Glow with a questioning look.
"That necklace doesn't even have that power." Lola said.
"Want me to prove it? I'll show you." Cozy Glow said and focused her mind. Suddenly her necklace grew into a bright light before suddenly a portal to what looked to be a version of equestria; namely the Sombraverse version of it; suddenly appeared before Cozy Glow closed it with a wink. Lola's jaw had dropped to the floor.
"Wait if you can open portals to other worlds, maybe you can use it to get to the human world too!" Sunset exclaimed.
"Huh...I didn't think of that." Cozy Glow said and focused her mind once more. But nothing happened.
"...Eh...that was a long shot..." Sunset said.
"What makes you say that?" Luster Dawn asked.
"My guess is is that equestria is now fully barred from ever interacting with the human world again. Or at least that's my best guess." Sunset said.
"I guess when mirror got it's power drained, it must have closed access altogether. Or at least that's how I see it." Luster Dawn said. "Unfortunately, we may never know the truth." She added but then Cozy Glow got another headache. "Cozy Glow!" Luster Dawn said before going over to her just as the headache stopped.
"I'm...I'm fine...but more importantly..." Cozy Glow said before turning toward the human versions of the main 6 plus sunset. "I know why I'm cut off from the human world: Something is happening there that's going to change it completely, and everything you know will be gone. By the time any link could be established again, you seven will be the only survivors left. Seems that entire world is going to have a type of collapse." Cozy Glow said and then held her head in confusion. "But how do I know that? How could I possibly know that?" Cozy Glow added.
"Now this is just freaky...first Cozy Glow gets a headache that tells us why it's best not to change anything in other versions of equestria, and now she gets a headache telling the human versions of ourselves why access to their world is cut-off." Pony Rainbow Dash said.
"I wish I had an answer for why I'm getting these headaches that are giving me all this information myself." Cozy Glow said. But then she had a thought and grasped her necklace. "Wait...do you think my necklace is responsible? Could whenever I get a headache be my necklace somehow giving me that information?" Cozy Glow asked and turned to Lola. "You said it yourself that this thing is from another universe altogether, and being in our world has given it the power to open portals to and from other worlds. I don't think it giving me this information in the form of headaches is too much of a stretch." Cozy Glow explained.
"Well...that is a very likely explanation. And my father has witnessed all kinds of mysterious unexplained occurrences like this before, so it wouldn't be out of the realm of possibility. In fact, I wouldn't put it past the way the multi-verse works for your theory to be the correct one. Sometimes a little Arkum's Razor is a good thing." Lola said.
"Arkum's Razor?" Pony Rainbow Dash asked.
"Arkum's Razor is a philosophy that says that the theory with the less amount of assumptions is usually the correct one. In other words, it means that the simplest explanation is going to be the right one nine times out of ten." Lola explained.
"I normally don't get a lot of things, but that actually was pretty simple." Pony Rainbow Dash said. "Arkum's Razor huh...gonna have to remember that one." She added.
"Didn't think I'd live to see the day..." Pony Applejack said.
Author's Note
So yeah, in case anyone who reads this story and read the events of "The Vault Of Secrets" and wondered why Cozy Glow didn't use her necklace to get everyone home well...now you know: She wasn't thinking about using it. Though this thought will actually get shot down next crossover. Just you all wait.
My Little Pony: Dawn of Friendship
Season 3: Episode 5 - Ticking Clock
Luster's Group, the mane seven, the CMC, and of course Cozy Glow all were having a great time playing outside when during their break, Diamond Tiara found a mysterious clock on the ground and brought it to everyone. It's worth noting that the mane seven outside of Sunset have gotten their coats, manes, and tails recolored.
"So...what do you think this is?" Molson asked.
"I don't know..." Summer Breeze said.
"I wonder if Lola has any suggestions." Kale said.
"Did you forget Kale? Lola is at Canterlot with Princess Twilight today. Said something about needing to know every detail regarding us calling Astrotle Mondoli an 'Eldritch Horror'." Namu said.
"I had the same thought to ask Lola but that's a bust." Chitin said.
"Everyone settle down okay? Surely we can keep this thing around until Lola gets back. It wouldn't hurt to keep it for a while right?" Luster Dawn asked.
"Not a bad idea. With everything Lola's father taught her, she's our best source for things like this." Applebuck said.
"It really does bite that we have to wait though." Scootaloo said.
"Still, what else are we supposed to do?" Sweetie Belle asked.
"We could see if we can figure this one out for ourselves before Lola gets back." Silver Spoon said.
"But what if while we're messing with it, it does something super crazy like...I don't know...causing a black hole or something." Diamond Tiara said. "What? It's the best I could come up with." She defended herself.
"Don't be too hard on yourself, Diamond; you are right. Sure a Black Hole is outlandish but it does bring up the point we don't know what this thing is." Cozy Glow said. Then she had a thought. "Wait! Let's mail Princess Twilight." Cozy Glow said.
"Why didn't I think of that sooner?" Luster Dawn said.
"Better Question: Why didn't anyone think of that sooner?" Sunset Shimmer asked. Soon a letter was off to Twilight. Suddenly the clock began to tick rapidly.
"Uh...not to rain on your parade but the clock is now ticking!" H. Rainbow Dash said.
"Is it a bomb then?" H. Applejack asked.
"No. Seems like a normal stop watch." H. Twilight said.
"Because of course the one Twilight we do have is able to figure that out just by looking at the thing." H. Rainbow Dash said. Suddenly the 12 number was replaced by a strange face.
"...I don't think that's a normal clock anymore..." H. Fluttershy said.
"And whose face is that?" H. Pinkie Pie asked. "I've never seen that face before." She added.
"Face? Let me see." Luster Dawn looked. "Wait...this face looks familiar..." She added.
"You recognize it?" H. Rarity asked.
"Yeah...in fact...EVERYONE BACK AWAY FROM THE WATCH!" Luster Dawn shouted out and everyone did so just in time for the watch to suddenly start ringing like crazy and then who else but Time Stop would show up.
"Guess what? Time Stop is back bitches!" Time Stop said.
"OH HE DID NOT JUST CALL US THAT RUDE WORD!" H. Rarity shouted.
"And this time, this won't be so easy for you." Time Stop said. It was a fight!
Or at least, that's what it was looking like until something began to happen to Time Stop just as Lola showed up.
"What the...TIME STOP?! HOW DID HE SURIVE BEING BLOWN UP?! NO ONE COULD'VE SURVIVED BEING BLOWN UP!" Lola exclaimed. But then she noticed something was happening to him. "Wait...what's happening?" Lola asked.
"Can it be? Has someone finally found a way to break my curse?" Time Stop said as he began fading out in a series of light. "Ah...yes...I think at long last...my curse is being lifted." Time Stop said.
"You mean that whole thing about your spirit being trapped in a pocket deminsion?" Luster Dawn asked.
"Yes. Somehow, someway, someone managed to finally break my curse. While I may never get to see them...I am thankful to them." Time Stop said.
"How can you be thanking them? Your going to die for good you know." Cozy Glow said.
"But then at least I'll be free. Free of this annoying curse. I may be dying for good this time...but to me, that is the kindest thing anyone has ever done for me. Do not grieve for me...because I'll be free." Time Stop said.
"Even if it was only for a short time...we'll never forget you Time Stop. Ever." Luster Dawn said through her tears.
"This is goodbye to you all...for I am free." Time Stop said before he finally finished evaporating.
"...He's gone for good..." H. Twilight said.
"But at least he's free of being stuck forever in that pocket deminsion, a fate worse then death." Kale said.
"Good point. Like he said, he is free now." H. Applejack said.
"I can't even imagine what it was like for him...stuck in that pocket demension with no end in sight. Even though he died as a result of the curse being lifted, the fact of the matter is he accepted his own death because it was a kind act to end his curse even if doing so killed him." H. Fluttershy said.
"I'm confused...what's this about a curse?" Lola asked. Luster and Cozy Glow filled her in. "...I see. So that's how Time Stop survived being blown up. I'm willing to bet something my father told me he was gonna do after I left is the reason Time Stop's curse was lifted." Lola said.
"Really? What was your father going to do?" Luster Dawn asked.
"My father was going to return the time stones to Little Planet. Maybe by returning them to their rightful place, it broke Time Stop's curse." Lola said. "Heh...that's my father for you though. Even if he didn't mean for this, he granted Time Stop the only form of mercy he could: Ending Time Stop's misery." She explained. "My father sees death as a last resort option only and not ever as the only option." Lola finished. Suddenly a big earthquake was going on.
"OH NOW WHAT? ANOTHER USE OF THE VAULT OF SECRETS?!" Cozy Glow exclaimed. Suddenly a giant tower appeared in Ponyville and elsewhere across Equestria.
"What are those things?!" Luster Dawn exclaimed.

My Little Pony: Dawn of Friendship
Time Patrol: Prologue - The Start of Something Bigger
Previously, in "My Little Pony: Dawn of Friendship", a bunch of mysterious altars appeared across Equestria.
Luster Dawn and her friends decided to investigate one of these towers, namely the one in Ponyville.
"Wonder what this is. Lola, did your father ever encounter anything like this before?" Luster Dawn asked.
"No. He never described anything like this before." Lola admitted.
"But of course he wouldn't know; for these altars have been sleeping for eons." A male voice sounded out. Suddenly, decending from the stairs was some sort of bipedal creature that was black; and not like the skin tone. Instead of a deep dark brown, this creature's skin was a pure black with only yellow body paint and egyption clothing covering his body. In his right hand he had some sort of staff which he kept off the ground as he decended the stairs of the mysterious altar.
"Wait a second...that's..." Lola said.
"Greetings Lola...I see you've already made some friends here in this world. Good. Your father will be most pleased when he hears about this." The mysterious creature said. His hands and feet were paws, and his face was like that of a canine or more specifically, a vulpine canine.
"You...your..." Lola said.
"There is no reason to be alarmed; I am simply here on behalf of your father." The mysterious creature said.
"Since when were you on good terms with my father?" Lola asked.
"I guess he didn't tell you about something that happened the month before you were born. I suppose I'll have to fill you in later then." The mysterious creature said.
"Who are you?" Cozy Glow asked.
"I am afraid my real name has been lost to time, but you may refer to me as The Jackle. I was instructed by Lola's father to oversee these altars and with my incredible powers, I may do so." The mysterious creature explained.
"So, do you know what they are if Lola's father doesn't know?" Kale asked.
"These altars are the Altars of Time. By using one, one can travel to any specific point in time. However, such use is restricted on a need basis only. In other words, unless there is something major that requires traveling through time to take care of, then I'm afraid the Altar of Time is offlimits. And even then, only those I personally give authorization to may enter." The Jackle explained. "Messing with time can have serious repercussions that would ruin the world you've created for yourself after it's long since become fruitful." He added before suddenly he levitated a few books from out of the altar.
"Are those books?" Molson asked.
"These are not mere books, these are stories. More specifically, these are stories of other versions of Equestria. Some like this one here which regards how the battle against the real grogar played out differently and has become stable." The Jackle said, pointing to a book with a brown cover. "Some like this one where Twilight was essentially tortured and conditioned by Sombra to be his tyrant queen and lover are currently under construction." The Jackle said, pointing to one with a black cover. "But others like this one here where the wonderbolts fell on hard times had their stories ended prematurely." The Jackle said pointing to one with a yellow cover. "But no matter what kind of world one version of a universe like yours ends up as; one where it ends prematurely, one under construction, or one that becomes stable; my job is to look make sure nothing and I mean nothing happens that would lead a version of events to playing out so differently, that it changes the history of a certain version of a universe so much, it breaks the time stream. Such things need to be fixed accordingly." The Jackle said.
"I see." Luster Dawn said. Suddenly one of the books The Jackle was holding had black smoke coming off from it.
"What the...no!" The Jackle said. "Just as I bring it up, seems your specific world's history is being tampored with; someone is trying to change the way your world turns out by also using time travel without the aid of the Altar of Time." The Jackle said.
"Let us help; we can handle this." Summer Breeze said.
"Well...okay. Just be careful not to cause too many changes when your in the past." The Jackle said.
"We'll be careful." Chitin said.
"Namu and friends stop bad things from happening." Namu said.
"I trust in you. However, while the six of you can go, Cozy Glow and the others cannot. Their presence would cause problems. Same with you, Lola." The Jackle said. "But you'll be able to communicate with the others from this point in time thanks to my powers. So, are the six of you ready?" He asked.
"We're ready." Luster Dawn said.
"Good. Then step into the Altar." The Jackle said and let Luster and her group of six head in.
"I'll do what I can and see if I can figure out whose causing this to happen on my end. I may not be able to go with you guys, but that doesn't meant I can't do my part all the same." Cozy Glow said. Suddenly as the group entered, her necklace began to glow.
"Wait...that necklace..." The Jackle said. "Forget what I said, Cozy Glow you can go too, but you cannot give your name out." He said.
"Um...okay. Not sure why you would change your mind over my necklace but okay." Cozy Glow said and entered the Altar with Luster's Group. "Wonder what's so special about my necklace anyways..." She added.
"That is something you will come to know when the time is right, thee who shines the brightest even in the darkness." The Jackle said.
"Oooookay...no idea what you mean by that." Cozy Glow said. "I think you may need some rest later. Gotta make sure you have the mental compacity to do your job after all." She added.
"I assure you I am fine. Your destiny is much greater then you realize yourself, young pegasus." The Jackle said before the Altar suddenly teleported the group away through time and space.
My Little Pony: Dawn of Friendship
Time Patrol: Chapter 1 - First Mission
Luster and her friends were looking at a mirror where it looked like the moment when Rainbow Dash, Applejack, and Twilight are finishing up the running of the leaves when suddenly a face all too familiar to Luster and her gang was there at the finish line during the point after Rainbow Dash and Appleajack had rerun the race.
“Isn’t that Slade? How’d he come back to life?” Luster asked.
“If I had to guess, some dark being from a world lead to ruin is responsible.” The Jackle said.
“Right. Lola and the others can look for clues on this end. We should focus on taking out Slade. But are you sure I can come?” Cozy Glow asked.
“There is much about your necklace you do not know yet. And much about yourself you have not figured out yet. The answers you seek regarding your necklace lie in the events of the past.” The Jackle said. “For now, all I can do is unlock this one power for you, keeper of the Light Necklace.” He added before tapping Cozy’s necklace. Cozy Glow started shifting colors before defaulting back to her original color pallet.
“Whoa...trippy.” Cozy Glow said.
“I have unlocked a dormant power from within your necklace, one that will allow you to take on whatever colors you wish.” The Jackle said.
“Facinating. Let me try changing a few things.” Cozy Glow said and looked in a regular mirror. She concentrated until her mane & tail became a crimson red, her ribbons a sky blue, her eyes a shining blue, and her coat a bright yellow. “I think I look better this way. Better suits the new me.” Cozy Glow said.
“Time is of the essence. You must go now.” The Jackle said and the group was suddenly teleported away through time.
The group was teleported onto the area ready to face Slade.
“So, you decided to track me this far back. Not sure how you did so, but frankly I could care less.” Slade said.
“Everyone, get him.” Luster Dawn said.
“More mysterious guests...today is one Tartarus of a day...” Princess Celestia. “But these creatures appear to be helping us with our current problem.
Eeee! It’s Celestia, Princess Twilight’s Mentor! Such an honor! Luster fangirled. “Don’t worry Princess, me and my friends can handle this mysterious creature, you just focus on getting everyone clear.” She said.
“I don’t know why, but I’m inclined to believe your words.” Celestia said.
“Princess, Applejck, Rainbow Dash, and myself can help with getting everyone to safety.” Twilight said.
“Yeah. I’m sure they can handle this. I mean...they all look capable. Never seen that one wierd bug creature before.” Rainbow Dash said.
“You...your Rainbow Dash...” Chitin said. “I am such a huge fan...but now is not the time for chatter.” He added.
“Great...someone just had to stroke her ego.” Applejack said.
“I mean she’s such an inspiration to me with how your always there for those you care for.” Chitin said.
“I like this bug thing.” Rainbow Dash said.
Eventually everyone was cleared out.
“I’ll be back.” Slade said and vanished.
“Phew...our work is done here. We’d love to stay and chat but we must be going.” Luster Dawn said.
“Thanks for the assist. I hope we’ll meet again.” Twilight asked.
Luster and her friends were transported back to the present time.
“You should be thankful that when you are called upon to fix problems like this, the issue of you being there is solved when you fix the problem through the creation of a parallel version of events. You must take care not to cause too many changes with your presence.” The Jackle said. “Otherwise, too much change could result in drastic changes to the original version of events.” He added.
“Good to know.” Cozy Glow said.

My Little Pony: Dawn of Friendship
Time Patrol: Chapter 2 - Return of the Nightmare
Luster Dawn and her friends are looking at a part of history where during the first time Diamond Tiara bullied Apple Bloom, the young young Apple Bloom was suddenly possessed by remnents of Nightmare Moon's power.
"...Okay I am not liking that image." Luster Dawn admitted.
"Didn't all of Nightmare Moon go away after Twilight and her friends defeated Nightmare Moon?" Cozy Glow asked.
"Just because some form of the Nightmare is gone, doesn't mean it all vanished. Darkness can take many different forms, and it has turned past Apple Bloom into a being known as Evil Flower. You must go back in time and save Apple Bloom from herself." The Jackle stated.
"Right..." Luster said.
The group soon arrived in the past and were now ready to stop the possessed Apple Bloom known as Evil Flower.
Though to say this was a one sided battle would be an accurate statement: Because Apple Bloom was still a filly and hasn't found her special talent yet, Evil Flower was quickly purified by the future elements of harmony.
"That...seemed too easy." Luster Dawn said. Suddenly Slade showed up.
"How dare you?! You really just showed up and dispelled one of my boss's nightmares. Now I'm going to make you pay!" Slade said.
"Two battles in one day? This is insane!" Luster Dawn said.
"Wh-what happened?" A now awakened Apple Bloom asked.
"Looks like Apple Bloom has no memory of being Evil Flower. Let's just focus on Shade." Cozy Glow said.
After a few attacks on Slade, suddenly a mysterious black female alicorn showed up.
"Slade, your done here. My experiment was a success regardless of who stopped it. And any further presence here is not required." The Black Alicorn said.
"...Consider yourselves lucky this time. I was just about to get serious." Slade said before he and the black alicorn were sent through time itself. Luster Dawn and her group were sent forward through time too, but not to the same point in time as the evil duo they saw.
"A Black Alicorn Mare huh? Strange...not a single one of my books mentions her." The Jackle said.
"Whoever she is, she seems to have revived Shade and is making him work for her." Luster Dawn said.
"I see. I'm willing to bet she's the mastermind behind these attempted changes to history." Princess Twilight said.
"I was thinking the same thing. I wonder why she wants to change history so much though..." Cozy Glow said.
"Now that even I couldn't give you a guess on. I will do what I can to research more about this black alicorn mare. But until your next mission, take a bit of time off." The Jackle said.

Time Patrol: Chapter 3 - Another Returning Face
"Why is Lola in here?" Cozy Glow asked.
"For some reason I can't quite get a good read on the problem your going to be dealing with. I was hoping Lola could figure out the issue." The Jackle said.
"Fixed it." Lola said. Now the viewing portal was fully functional and showed Twilight and her friends returning from the Young Fliers Competition but they encountered a very familiar looking ram.
"Wait a second, that's Grogar!" Luster Dawn said.
"First Slade gets brought back, and now Grogar returns as well. If I had to guess this is the work of that Black Alicorn again." Kale said.
"No doubt about that. Let's do this." Chitin said. The group was teleported through time. As soon as they arrived, Grogar turned his attention to the group.
"You lot have shown up just like my mistress told me you would. And now, we battle." Grogar simply said. He was wasting no time it seems.
"How is possible that Grogar; the father of all monsters; is real?!" Twilight said. "I mean, he's just a story, or so I thought." she added.
"Yeah uh...news flash here: He's real and he is not friendly." Cozy Glow said.
The group assisted by Twilight and her friends was able to defeat Grogar.
"This is quite interesting...despite our power differences you are still able to defeat me." Grogar said before he was teleported through time.
"Thanks so much for your help." Twilight told the group.
"Eh...think nothing of it. I have feeling you'll be seeing us another time and another place." Cozy Glow said before Luster's group was teleported back to the present.
"You know, Grogar said that his mistress told him we'd come. Who is his mistress?" Molson asked.
"I don't know...but I can wager a good guess: That mysterious black Alicorn." Summer Breeze said.
"Who is she really? And why did she go and revive both Slade and Grogar for her plans?" Luter Dawn asked.
"Namu thinks we'll find out as we continue to foil mysterious lady's plans." Namu said.
"Good point Namu. Nothing we can do for now except wait for that black alicorn lady to try and mess up the past again." Cozy Glow said.
"Sad as that is to say, that is correct. At least we know who she has employed. Both Slade and Grogar were most likely revived by our mysterious black alicorn mare, and thus they serve her as a result of this." The Jackle said.
"I was thinking the same thing." Luster Dawn said.

My Little Pony: Dawn of Friendship
Time Patrol: Chapter 4 - Alicorn of Darkness
Luster and her group were watching the viewing portal where they see that their mysterious Alicorn mare has triggered another nightmare version of a specific pony, this time targeting Gilda shortly after her true colors were revealed at Pinkie Pie's party.
"Wait a second, how can a griffon get taken over by a nightmare? In fact, all that seems to have happened to Gilda is now she even more evil then she was when she first came to ponyville. And I've met the mondern version of her, and she's actually quite nice now." Luster Dawn said.
"That makes it all the more presedent that you fix this problem sooner rather then later." The Jackle said.
"We're on it!" Cozy Glow said and thus the group was sent back in time once more.
Because how mindless Gilda acted being possessed by a nightmare, the group was easily able to defeat the possessed Gilda. However, their victory was short lived by the arrival of Grogar...and the mysterious alicorn mare riding his back. Wait what?
"...What's wrong with this picture right now?" Luster Dawn asked.
"Everything. Everything is wrong with this picutre." Cozy Glow said.
"I see you've defeated another of my nightmares. How interesting." The Alicorn mare said.
"Who even are you?" Luster Dawn asked.
"Call me Mystique; I am the Alicorn of Darkness. You should be able to understand why I want to mess up your timeline so badly from that information alone now can't you?" The Alicorn said.
"You just want to drown everything in darkness, don't you?" Cozy Glow asked. "Sorry, but we aren't about to let you." She activated her necklace's power to activate her Faux Alicorn state.
"Wait...that light..." Mystique said but the Grogar interuppted her.
"Mistress, I will protect you from this holigans!" Grogar said.
With the Faux Alicorn State, defeating Grogar took zero time.
"You." Mistique said, pointing a hoof at Cozy Glow. "I have no idea who you are Pegasus, but you somehow have access to a fraction of the power of the legendary Goddess of Light. But rest assured: Your light will only shine so bright before I snuff it out!" Mystique said and teleported herself and Grogar back through the timestream.
"Guess we gotta get going too." Cozy Glow said, removing her Faux Alicorn state and returning back to their own time period.
"Goddess of light you say? Father never met her." Lola said.
"He couldn't of. Of the immortals who were killed by a blast left by the immortal known as Yin-Yang, amongst them was the Goddess of Light. However, I know not who it is that has her powers and is her reincarnated in mortal form. I only know that Cozy Glow's necklace houses a small fraction of the Goddess of Light's full power." The Jackle explained.
"So that's it: The reason my necklace has all these strange powers is because it houses power from the Goddess of Light. But isn't too much light just as bad as too much darkness?" Cozy Glow asked.
"The Goddess of Light mostly took a backseat in spreading her light. As did the God of Darkness who still lives as an immortal to this day. In fact, the two immortals are actually twin siblings. Most of the time though, both let mortal kind do their own things, but will on occasion, provide mortal kind with but a fraction of their power when the time calls for it. These fractions of power manifest them into necklaces like the one you wear, Cozy Glow." The Jackle explained.
"Then between Orabarous and now this Alicorn of Darkness Mystique, the whole reason I was given this necklace is to fight against these more powerful foes who carry too much darkness in their hearts." Cozy Glow stated.
"That would be my guess yes. Make no mistake though, I sense greater trials ahead." The Jackle said.
"Well then I won't let the Goddess of Light down; I plan on helping my friends defeat Mystique and her two lackeys so that they will leave the time stream alone." Cozy Glow said. She and her friends left.
"...I sense a great light beginning to form within that Pegasus; and if Mystique keeps up her attacks like this, then no doubt Cozy Glow's destiny will reveal itself." The Jackle said. "After all, if there is an Alicorn of Darkness and Despair, then there needs to be an Alicorn of Light and Hope." He added.

Time Patrol: Interlude 1 - The Dark Time Patrol
In a very ruined version of Equestria, the same one Twilight and Starlight once visited, Slade was finishing up sharpening his swords as Mistique and Grogar came up to him.
"So, how'd your latest test with your nightmare device go? Can it work on other creatures too?" Slade asked Mistique.
"Naturally. But what did you expect from someone who used her dark powers to revive the two of you." Mistique said.
"I only have one question: What happens if we successfully altar time itself?" Slade asked.
"Well after that, you Slade are free to leave for a different part of the multiverse as promised. I did after all restore your full body to it's state from before that war you took part in." Mistique said.
"And I thank you for that." Slade said. "But what are you and Grogar gonna do without me?" He asked.
"Whatever we want; with that version of Equestria ending up like this one, Grogar and myself can swoop in and corrupt it into our own image." Mistique said.
"Well that's your thing. Me? I'm just gonna go back to my assassin work after this." Slade said.
"Well what you do once my goals have been realized is your own business. After all, our deal was for you to help me destroy the past of a specific version of Equestria." Mistique said.
"Mistress, I can't help but wonder...what purpose does us messing with time in the way we have have to do with that? That group of creatures who defeated me seems to get in our way each time." Grogar said.
"That's simple: By messing with the time stream, we create Dark Energy, which I have been collecting. Once I've collected enough of it, I plan on dropping it far into the past of that version of Equestria which will ultimately destroy it. But there's still not enough energy for that to occur." Mistique said.
"Right...of course. Give them hope only to show them how hopeless it really is. I have to admit Mistique, your my kind of gal. If only you weren't so taken with your boy toy." Slade said.
"I am not mistress's boy toy! Considering how much of her power she used to restore me to this form it's only natural I would submit to her." Grogar said.
"That's right. And if you have a problem with that, I can easily just destroy you again." Mistique said.
"Chill would you. I'm just trying to lighten the mood a little." Slade said.
"The only thing that'll lighten my mood is getting rid of the prime version of Equestria. Once it falls, all the other versions will fall with it. That is my ultimate goal." Mistique said.
"Right. I get it. So I guess this means I'm up to use the Nightmare Machine on a certain changeling yes?" Slade asked.
"But of course. Here you go." Mistique said and handed Slade a strange portable cannon device.
"This thing is kind of awesome by the way...just one blast and suddenly someone is granted the strangth of an Alicorn." Slade said. "Well I'm gone." He added before he vanished through the time stream.
"...Finally we're alone. Now I can stop spotting these lies." Mistique said.
"Eh? What lies, Mistress? You mean your not goign for total annhilation of Equestrian Prime?" Grogar asked.
"Oh I am, but did you know that if the monsters you created were infused with dark energy gathered by messing with the time stream, they become invincible beasts?" Mistique asked. "At that point, the only way to stop them would be to kill me." She added.
"Ah. I see. You plan on making it impossible for them to defend against your plans." Grogar said. "And this is why you are my mistress." Mistique said.
"Come now, I wouldn't have had the idea if not for you. And I can't help but picture us as the ruling king and queen of all of Equestria." Mistique said.
"You...you honor me, Mistress." Grogar said.
"Your loyalty is to be well paid for. But Slade on the other hand well...let's just say that once I no longer have a use for him, his life is forfeit. I don't trust anyone, least of all assassins." Mistique said.
"But of course Mistress." Grogar said.
My Little Pony: Dawn of Friendship
Time Patrol: Chapter 5 - Increased Darkness
In viewing portal, the Time Patrol group was all looking at a scene where Chrysalis was armored and attacking Celestia during the Canterlot Wedding incident.
"Wait a second, Chrysalis wasn't armored during this point in time." Chitin said.
"You are correct. Her armored state was brought about because of her being empowered by a nightmare." The Jackle said.
"But she's already evil; what reason would Mistique have to make a villian possessed by a nightmare?" Molson asked.
"I think I know." Cozy Glow said. "If she's already evil, then the nightmare will increase her strength and thus she will be much stronger then normal." She added.
"Cozy Glow is correct. And that's likely why Mistique did it to begin with. Go with caution, even back then, Chrysalis was still a force to be reckon with." The Jackle said.
"Yeah. I gotta save my aunt." Cozy Glow said.
They were transported to the time period, and that's when they saw Slade there.
"SLADE!" Luster Dawn shouted.
"It's you folk again. I'd focus on the bigger threat here if I was you." Slade said with a grin. Cozy Glow gritted her teeth and activated her Faux Alicorn state before the group battled the empowered Chrysalis.
Once Chrysalis took enough Damage, she was restored back to normal.
"What the hell...where did all that power go?" Chrysalis asked. Suddenly Slade jumped into the fray.
"If you think your done here, then you have another thing coming. Come at me!" Slade said. And thus the group had their second battle which also didn't take very long.
However, that's when Mistique showed up. Suddenly she fired some sort of spell at Chrysalis and suddenly Chrysalis looked like she did at the Battle of the Bell.
"WHAT THE?!?" Luster Dawn said before Slade grinned and went back through the time stream with Mistique.
"Now Chrysalis is even more powerful! We gotta stop her, NOW!" Cozy Glow said.
"I'm not sure how much longer I can hold on here..." Celestia said.
"You take a breather Princess; we'll handle this from here." Luster Dawn said.
After another long and hard battle, Chrysalis was returned to normal again.
"I can still win this!" Chrysalis said and charged forward for a third time.
"Gah, and I thought we were done!" Luster Dawn said.
"I should help you this time. I won't be held back much longer." Celestia said.
"Right. We could use the help Princess." Luster Dawn said.
Another long and tedious battle later, and although Chrysalis managed to put Celestia into unconciousness, the rest of the ponies were free to move around allowing the bad changelings to get blasted by the love bomb which Chitin was uneffected by.
"I thank you for your services here today. I think it's clear to me that you do not come from this exact point in time." Celestia said.
"Yeah. I've been beginning to think the same thing. Your all from the future, aren't you?" Twilight asked.
"Yeah. We sure are. We're just here from the future to make sure that the past remains as we know it." Cozy Glow said.
"I see. Well I thank you all the same. If you had not been here, who knows how this would've went down." Celestia said.
"Very badly, we'll just say that." Luster Dawn said. "Well we'll see you all at another point in time I suppose." She added before she and her group were sent back to the future by the time stream.
"...Celestia, something is bugging you about that pegasus isn't it?" Twilight asked.
"Yes. Very much so. I sensed a light filled with harmony and hope growing inside of her. And I could easily see through her color disguise." Celestia said.
"I saw through it too. But if she's from the far future, then we'll just let things play out as they should if we discover her before she became who she has become." Twilight said.
"You are right, my faithful student. Whatever happens, it shall happen." Celestia said.
The group arrived back safely.
"Welcome back. Seems your actions have made an impression. Still, this is expected. Thankfully, no changes regarding Cozy Glow's own personal history have been effected." The Jackle said.
"I don't know about you all, but I think we should get some rest. We just had four battles in a row; I would like to recharge from all that." Cozy Glow said.
"Take the rest. You have earned it. Though I have no idea why Chrysalis was so stubbern back then." The Jackle said.
"You should ask her sometime. The modern version of her is just as stubborn as that after all. It did take her own royal daughter to make her see the light after all." Cozy Glow said and left with her friends.
"...I see. And what's more the light continues to grow within the young Cozy Glow. And this scenario really pushed her to her limits." The Jackle said.
My Little Pony: Dawn of Friendship
Time Patrol: Chapter 7 - A Soldier's Wish
The group was seeing that Slade had made Chrysalis get possessed by another nightmare, during the moment when she was supposed to run from the combined forces of all the ponies and reformed changelings.
“Slade again...” Luster Dawn said.
“We have to stop him once and for all this go around. I feel like that’s our best option.” Cozy Glow said.
“I trust your judgement.” The Jackle said before the group was sent through the time stream. “...I sense a great light about to take shape.” The Jackle said.
The group arrived on the scene and got straight to battling the possessed Chrysalis but shortly into it, Slade joined the fight.
“I’m done sitting on the sidelines for these things. I’m a man of action.” Slade said.
“We could really use some assist now.” Luster Dawn said.
“Consider us a part of this.” Thorax said.
With the changelings helping the possessed Chrysalis was defeated but Slade was still going strong.
“How talented is this guy, really?” Cozy Glow said and activated her Faux Alicorn status. Finally there was a point where Twilight hit Slade in the face with a spell which revealed the dark magic underneath.
“Wait this guy is animated by dark magic?” Twilight asked.
“What?” Slade asked and checked his reflection. “I WAS LIED TO?!” Slade yelled out.
“Lied to?” Cozy Glow was confused now.
“I don’t believe this...that two toned thing lied to me! I hate being used. Because that’s against the Soldier’s code.” Slade said.
“Soldier?” Celestia was confused said.
“Well I’m done being used. Seems there’s only one way to end my suffering. Come at me with everything you’ve got!” Slade said before tossing his katanas. “And I’m returning fire.” He added before grabbing his shirt.
https://youtu.be/Dnj-DoUbbi8
As the music started, Slade pulled off his shirt to reveal a soldier’s uniform underneath and then took out two Skimitars that could be charged with electricity.
Slade would take many hits before his final defeat; and boy was it a lot of hits.
“I was born on a war torn world where humanity tried to over exert it’s will. No one is sure why the world went to war, but many speculated it’s because one half of humanity took things too far ethically. During the Final War, I was one of the generals for the the side of those that wanted the over extension of Humanity’s will to end. Never once did I get touched during the time of the war. The other side referred to me as ‘The Untouchable General’. I never suffered injury, until the final battle. During that battle, I was finally injured. But the battle ended with me as the lone survivor soldier. My wounds great from the battle, I headed for home only for a Blizzard to appear out of nowhere. I could have probably made it, if not for that Blizzard. But my injuries and the Blizzard combined made it impossible for me to go on for too long. That’s when this figure whose body consisted of two extremes showed up. One side was filled with the light and harmony you ponies represent. The other was pure darkness. Two sides of the same coin coexisted on that strange two sided being. He offered to heal my body so long as I did as he wanted after. But I didn’t know he never really healed my body. He lied to me that day. And Soldiers hate being lied to. So now here I stand, ready to fight until I am granted a Soldier’s Death at long last. For I am Slade Johnson, the former soldier of fortune!” Slade explained during the battle.
Finally after a long and very drawn out battle, Slade was finally defeated and his scars obviously from the Final Battle from his past, had opened and the dark magic animating him was leaving his body.
“Slade!” Cozy Glow flew over.
“You care for me? Even now?” Slade asked.
“I just feel sorry for you. You had no choice to become the way you are. If you had been born in our world maybe you could just be like a bodyguard or something. Anything else really.” Cozy Glow said. Slade’s eyes closed.
“I would actually like that if it could be possible.” Slade said. Cozy Glow then remembered that the Jackle said her necklace had powers she still wasn’t aware of yet. Could she grant such a wish with it’s powers?
“Maybe there is a way.” Cozy Glow said before closing her eyes with a hoof over her pendent. “Pendent of light here my plea: Grant this Soldier his wish and rebirth him into a version of Equestria.” Cozy Glow said. Her necklace gave off a bright glow before it died down. Slade no where to be seen.
“Where did he go?” Luster Dawn asked.
“I think...Slade got his wish.” Cozy Glow said. She and the group was sent back through the time stream.
The Time Patrol group was back in the present yet when they looked at Cozy Glow they gasped.
“What? Is there something on my face?” Cozy Glow asked. Luster made a mirror appear causing the growing mare to gasp. “Screw my face...” Cozy Glow ran a hoof over her new Alicorn Horn. “There’s something on my head!” She said.
“It’s just as I expected. You Cozy Glow have conquered the darkness within, and now have ascended into being The Alicorn of Light.” The Jackle said.
“I guess I did give Slade new hope: Hope for a better life then he was forced to lead. I hope when we see his reborn self...it’s under much friendlier circumstances.” Cozy Glow said.
“He said light not Hope.” Luster Dawn said.
“They are one and the same.” Princess Twilight said. She was next to The Jackle. Cozy Glow nodded.
“I thought friendship was power at the start, but overtime I’ve found my beliefs shattered time and time again. And now more then ever I agree that Friendship is Magic.” Cozy Glow said.

Time Patrol: Final Chapter - The Last Mission
"No new changes to history yet. Perhaps now we can focus on Cozy Glows coronation." Princess Twilight said.
"Something is bothering me though. It's about how Mistique revived Grogar. We can hazard a guess as to how she revived Slade but we wouldn't even know where to start with Grogar." Cozy Glow said. She suddenly took one of The Jackle’s books.
“Hey!” The Jackle said. Cozy Glow soon found a page in particular.
“Here!” Cozy Glow said and showed it off. “It’s faint, but there’s a dark aura coming from this specific part of our official history.” She added.
“This is about our defeat of Grogar...but nothing seems to have changed. We zapped him with the Friendship laser and he disappeared, what’s wrong with that?” Luster Dawn asked.
“Wait that’s not right...” The Jackle took the book back and did a double check. “Cozy Glow is right...this part of history was altered slightly. Not enough to cause problems, but enough to leave a fingerprint.” The Jackle said.
“A fingerprint we could use to follow Mistique’s trail.” Cozy Glow said.
“Cozy Glow that’s genius.” Princess Twilight said.
“Looks like your already proving you’ve earned being an Alicorn.” Sunset said.
“She kind of already did that by granting Slade’s Wish.” The Jackle said.
“Well now she’s just cementing it now.” Luster Dawn said as she and the Time Patrol Group went to the Time Altar to follow Mistique.
The group arrived through the time stream just a few days after the Final Grogar battle and found a Time Hole which they entered.
There they arrived in a desolate version of Equestria.
“Wait...why is this version still here?” Cozy Glow asked. The others she understood but not this one.
“Because this is the Equestria I created.” Mistique said. She was Riding atop Grogar. “So you finally decided to follow my trail. Was wondering when you would.” Mistique said.
“The game ends here, Mistique!” Luster Dawn said.
“That’s what you think. Your in my world now.” Mistique said. “Grogar, deal with these pests.” Mistique said.
“Yes Mistress.” Grogar said. Mistique teleported off.
“What happened to the big bad Grogar we fought? You never would let yourself be used like this.” Luster Dawn said.
“Mistique saved me from being turned to stone for a long long time. Therefor I owe her my life. Besides, she wants what I want, and she has told me she’s willing to share. So I will do what I must for my new Mistress.” Grogar said.
The group managed to defeat Grogar, this time really sealing him up in stone. Mistique teleported back.
"Such a waste..." Mistique said before toppling him over; breaking him into pieces.
"Hey! Why did you do that?!" Luster Dawn exclaimed.
"Why do you think? He failed his assignment. And I don't enjoy those who fail to follow my orders." Mistique said.
"You are insane..." Cozy Glow said.
"I'd love to see you try and defeat me. I'm not as soft as all those other villians you've been known to deal with. When I aim to kill, I really do aim to kill." Mistique said.
"Mistique...I thought there was hope for you. But clearly you are the worst of the worst. I am Cozy Glow, the Alicorn of Light, and you are going to be defeated." Cozy Glow said.
"Please. Your just a recent alicorn. You can't defeat someone whose going on 3,000 years of experince." Mistique said.
While Mistique proved to be a much tougher challenge then anything the group has faced up to this point, she still was unable to defeat them.
"I don't understand...your only a recent Alicorn. How could I lose to the likes of you?" Mistique asked.
"That's simple, really. It's because I have friends. And my friends helped me to victory. But you will not die here. Not like this." Cozy Glow said. "I grant you the same kind of mercy that I gave Slade. Here's hoping when you return, you return as someone good this time." She added before she used her necklace's power to make Mistique get reborn as a totally different pony.
Everyone was returned to the main timeline.
"Mistique's presence has been dealt with I feel. It seems the entire time stream is in your debt, Cozy Glow." The Jackle said.
"You still chose to give her mercy. Why?" Princess Twilight asked.
"Because light cannot exist without darkness. Here's hoping when we see her again, her darkness isn't an evil kind." Cozy Glow said.
"Well said." Luster Dawn said.

Season 3: Episode 6 - Time Patrol Aftermath
One Month Later
"...And that is all why it is with great honor that Cozy Glow is granted the title of Princess of Rebirth." Princess Twilight said to a very large crowd. A few days have passed since the Time Patrol Group had ended Mistique's attempts to corrupt their world. And amongst all of them, Cozy Glow had proven herself as Equestria's newest princess. To which everyone cheered for her.
"Thank you all...truly. Fact of the matter is, I don't think I ever would've gotten this far if not for all of you." Cozy Glow said to all of her friends. "I once was a Pegasus filly who saw friendship as a way to raise to power. But time and time again, I found that belief shattered as I saw what kind of power really came from those that sought it. It was not the kind of power I saw when it came from the power produced by friendship. Friendship is not power after all, at least not how one normally sees power. Instead, Friendship is all about the magic that lives inside us all, and when friends come together, there is no amount of power that can defeat it. Because Friendship is a magic that does not rely on power; it relies on the way we feel towards each other. And I promise, from here on out, I will do my best as the Princess of Rebirth to spread the message about the magic of friendship as far and wide as I can. Be through time and space if I must. One thing is for certain, I don't plan on stopping making more friends anytime soon." Cozy Glow said. Everyone cheered for Cozy Glow; Equestria's newest Princess. A stained glass showing Cozy Glow and her necklace producing a light and depictions of both Slade and Mistique was revealed at the coronation.
A bit later, Cozy Glow was approached by Twilight.
"What do you plan to do once your back in Ponyville, Cozy Glow?" Twilight asked.
"I plan on seeing if I can use my necklace to look at other versions of Equestria and gain information about them. I want to see if the magic of friendship is as universal as I believe it to be." Cozy Glow said.
"A fine idea Cozy Glow. I wish you the best in this endeavor." Twilight said and left.
Cozy Glow then went to her room, but unknown to anyone, soon there would be more to her destiny then anyone realized...
A few days after her coronation following the incident with the Altar of Time, Cozy Glow returned to Ponyville, eager to hang out with her friends, when suddenly a male Tanuki was spotted in her room at the Castle of Friendship.
"Who are you?" Cozy Glow asked the strange Male Tanuki.
"My full name is Kai-Tan Sal Do Chi, but you can simply call me Kai-Tan." The Tanuki said. "I am here to tell you your trails are not finished yet.' He said.
"What's that supposed to mean? I just beat Mistique, and became the Princess of Rebirth." Cozy Glow said.
"Perhaps, but that is only half of your destiny. There's a much darker force coming to your world, and it will soon endanger all of you." Kai-Tan said.
"What do I do? How can I save everyone?" Cozy Glow asked.
"In order to stop the upcoming evil, you'll have to destroy that which you hold most dear to you and you alone." Kai-Tan said.
"What do you mean? I would never destroy my friendships." Cozy Glow said.
"If you think your friendships are the most important thing to you, then you don't have the answer yet on what you must destroy." Kai-Tan said before he suddenly vanished.
"Kai-Tan...who are you, really?" Cozy Glow asked.
Unknown to all that dwelled in Equestria, a great evil was coming, and it was going to give Cozy Glow her answer, whether she wanted it or not.
Author's Note
I decided to combine the Epilogue chapter of MLP: DoF - Time Patrol with the original aftermath episode so it wouldn't be so short otherwise. Just another result of the merger.

My Little Pony: Dawn of Friendship
Goddess of Light: Prologue - Visitors From Other Worlds
Night fell onto Equestria, but activity was stirring. From space, a lone brush fell onto the planet before suddenly a mysterious sorceress appeared beside it. The Sorceress flew all across the planet, and was collecting something blue from all the creatures of the land. What no one would know, is that these blue lights being drained from them were memories.
However, the mysterious Sorceress could not take memories from a few ponies: These included Luster Dawn, Molson, Summer Breeze, Kale, Namu, Chitin, Cozy Glow, Chrysalis, Chrystalis, Lord Tirek, Sunset Shimmer, the human versions of the Main 6, the main 6 who are still alive, the cutie mark crusaders, and the young 6. Everyone else had their memories stolen by the mysterious Sorceress who then landed in the Everfree Forest at the Castle of the Two sisters which she quickly began using her brush on. It was during this process, where it was revealed this brush could turn anything it drew into reality, hence why it was transforming the ruined castle into a giant structure that looked something like where the Sorceress would reside. The sorceress simply laughed before heading inside her new fortress.
But unknown to the sorceress, a giant was watching her. And it was an enemy of the Sorceress. He was standing alongside what seemed to be some sort of humaniod mole creature.
"Seems you were right Mole." The Giant said. "Drawcia has returned. And she's stolen the memories of the majority of this world regarding Cozy Glow's reformation." He Added.
"She must have needed the energy after what happened last time. Strange that she would return again though. Still, I saw the signs." The Mole said. "And I take it your gonna want in on this battle, right Titan?" He asked.
"But of course. And you helping out would also be appreciated. After all, I won't let what occured on my world happen again elsewhere." Titan said. "That's why I need your help Mole. This is about more then just this world. This is about the entire multi-verse." He added.
"But of course. Part of my soldier duty that I subscribe to is dealing with threats like this." The Mole stated.
"As soon as the sun rises, we begin doing our best to resolve this situation." Titan said.
Cozy Glow was stirring in her bed while dreaming. She was having such a strange dream where she was seeing herself staring down a mysterious hard shelled beast of some kind before a strange sorceress appeared, and then after her, a bunch of various villains appeared which took her by surprise before she suddenly shot up in a panic.
"A dream...it was only a dream." Cozy Glow said before she noticed her necklace was giving off light. "...Or maybe it wasn't a dream. Maybe I'd grown so in-tune with my necklace that it's feeding me information even when I don't wear it." Cozy Glow stated. "But what was it trying to tell me then? I can't quite figure it out." She added.
"In order to stop the upcoming evil, you'll have to destroy that which you hold most dear to you and you alone"
The words of Kai-Tan echoed in Cozy Glow's head.
"But what does that mean? He specifically had to call out that it wasn't my friendships. But then what else is there?" Cozy Glow asked. "I wish my Necklace would tell me the answers to this problem..." She said before falling back to sleep.
Twilight was having similar dreams, to which Luna interuptted. Only her dreams involved Cozy Glow staring down all those villainous figures.
"Luna...that was no ordinary nightmare, was it?" Twilight asked. "Cozy Glow is going to have to face a bunch of villains, isn't she?" She asked.
"...What do you mean? Isn't she herself a villain?" Luna asked.
"What do you mean? You and Celestia were there for the cordination where I announced that Cozy Glow was the Princess of Rebirth after she used her necklace's powers to give two villains a second chance to live and be good creatures." Twilight said.
"Hmm...this is quite troubling...perhaps some evil force has stolen my memories then. And if they stole mine, they also stole my sister's. And who knows who else's they stole." Luna said.
"But then why was I spared?" Twilight asked. But then realized the answer. "Cozy Glow's necklace. It's power must have protected me and everyone else close to her from having their memories taken away." Twilight said.
"You think Cozy Glow's necklace is the key to getting all the memories back then?" Luna asked.
"Yes. I believe so. I'm just not sure how yet. But considering everything else that necklace had been capable of between connecting us to other versions of Equestria and making two villains be born again for the potential to be good creatures the second time around, the fact that the necklace could restore our lost memories once we defeated whatever stole them is not too much of a stretch to make anymore." Twilight said.
"I see. I for one trust your judgement. And if you believe Cozy Glow's Necklace is the key, then see if she can do something with it. Also let her know of my suspicions if you would." Luna said.
"Of course." Twilight said.
The young six were in another shared dream sequence, obviously the Spirit of harmony was calling for their help once more.
"So I'm guessing this was not a social call." Gallus said.
"Not in the slightest I'm afraid. An evil witch has stolen the memories from all across your version of Equestria. Only you, those connected to the elements of harmony, and a few others have been shielded thanks to Cozy Glow's Necklace." The Spirit of Harmony said.
"Cozy Glow's necklace really does seem to come in real handy in situations like this." Ocellus observed. "Makes me wonder just how much such a trinket is capable of." She added.
"It is not just the necklace who houses these powers, but Cozy Glow herself. She just has yet to fully awaken her fullest potential yet. The other day, she was given a clue on how to defeat the latest evil by the God of All Orgins, Kai-Tan. Sadly, this is as much as I can tell you as even I am not sure what he said to her." The Spirit of Harmony said.
"Why's that?" Silverstream asked.
"It's simple really: Kai-Tan has the power to block me from overhearing conversations he doesn't want me to hear." The Spirit of Harmony said.
"He must be pretty powerful to do that. Well we'll do our best to support Cozy Glow while she figures it out." Smolder said.
"That is all I ask of you. Just have faith and never give up on harmony." The Spirit of Harmony said before leaving the young six.
Come daybreak, things were about to get serious as the mysterious sorceress was busy creating copies with her brush of all the forms of villains that this version of the world has seen that were not eldrich horrors.

My Little Pony: Dawn of Friendship
Goddess of Light: Chapter 1 - Titan and The Mole
"So it's true then..." Princess Twilight said as she walked around the map room. "A mysterious being from another world has come and taken memories from the majority of ponies, and no longer remember Cozy Glow's reformation." Twilight said.
"So once again my necklace shielded those closest to me from being affected. Meanining we need to find out whose behind this and force them to return the lost memories." Cozy Glow said.
"There's more, I asked some of the royal guards about strange going ons in Equestria recently besides Cozy Glow's apparent 'release from stone'. Seems that the old castle of the two sisters in Everfree Forest has been mysteriously renovated overnight into some kind of towering fortress dwarfing that of the Crystal Palace over at the Crystal Empire easily." Gallus said.
"That can't be just a coincidence. I bet whoever is behind all this mess is hiding out in there." Luster Dawn said.
"What are we waiting for? We need to go in there and rough the bad guy up!" Human Rainbow Dash said.
"It's not going to be that easy." A deep male voice called out. Suddenly out from under the ground came a strange mole creature and then from the doors came a giant human.
"How the hell did a human manage to stay human here in Equestria?" Sunset Shimmer said.
"I don't think he's a normal human." Cozy Glow stated. "I'm right, aren't I?" She asked.
"You would be correct. I come from a distant planet, one that was once ruled by an evil witch who took over the entire thing by force." The Giant said. "My name is Titan. And the mole who rudely tore up the floor of your castle is known as The Mole." Titan said.
"Really? The Mole? Not very original." Original Pinkie Pie said.
"I'm more of a mutant mole. I used to be human once, and ever since I was little, I wanted to be a soldier so I could stop terrorists. But my own blood prevented me from ever joining the core. That is until I was approached by the army: I could become the soldier I wanted to be if I agreed to undergo a experimental process of fusing human and animal DNA. I accepted this offer, and well you see the result. To protect my original identity, I was given the soldier ID of The Mole. I may no longer be a soldier anymore, but I still have a strong sense of justice. If there is ever evil tyrants or mass groups of bad folk, then I; The Mole; am willing to put myself on the frontlines." The Mole explained.
"Are you sure your okay being a muntant Mole though?" Human Fluttershy asked.
"It's a small price to pay in order to protect the innocent." The Mole said simply. "Would I like to be human again? Well yeah, but then I couldn't protect the innocent. And until evil is truly defeated, I will not stop being The Mole." He added.
"Ah can understand where your coming from Mole: you want to protect that which is closest to you." Original Applejack said.
"So Titan...what do you mean things aren't as simple as dealing with our threat as quickly as possible?" Human Twilight asked.
"Remember that witch I mentioned? Well she's the one whose behind your current situation. The Witch's name is Drawcia. And for the majority of my life until she was finally forced away from my planet, I had undergone serious training in order to defeat her once and for all. So, I am taking it upon myself to train you personally." Titan said. "Be ready for me." He added before he suddenly took off some sort of iron ball attached to a chain which while it looked super heavy, he wielded with only one hand as he had that much strength in him.
Titan - "Giant from another World": Battle with Magus - Chrono Trigger Music Extended - YouTube
"Hey watch where your swinging that thing!" Cozy Glow said, nearly dodging the iron ball end.
"Start complaining like that, and you'll have no chance against Drawcia and her creations. None of them will give you any time to react if you aren't careful." Titan said as he recovered his iron ball. The room was suddenly transformed into some sort of dark arena.
"What kind of power is this?" Princess Twilight asked.
"Less talking, more fighting." Titan said as he launched his iron ball again.
"Guess he's not going to answer any questions until we start fighting back." Original Rainbow Dash said.
"Do we have to fight?" Ocellus asked.
"What do you think by now?" Gallus asked as he dodged the iron ball.
"I'll admit, the methods leave something to be desired, but we have no choice." Cozy Glow said. Everyone started to engage Titan.
After a while, Titan Took out a second Iron Ball & Chain set and strarted using both. After another good while, the group was able to trip Titan onto his back.
"Not bad...not bad at all." Titan said before starting to get up, putting his Iron Ball & Chain sets away. "With cordination like that, then Drawcia and her creations will not be any problem for you." Titan added.
"You keep mentioning Drawcia's creations." Cozy Glow pointed out as the room returned to normal.
"Yeah, what is that about?" Kale asked. Suddenly screaming could be heard from outside.
"Dammit...their here." The Mole said as everyone rushed outside to see...that somehow there were many villains from Equestria's past on the loose attacking and murdering ponies.
"This is...how the hell is this possible?!" Princess Twilight exclaimed.
"It's Drawcia's Power; the witch has a magical painbrush that she can use to bring paintings to life." Titan explained.
"So all of these villains...Drawcia simply drew them up and is now using them to murder ponies? How twisted is this lady?" Silverstream asked.
"You have no idea. No doubt the creations are being created in Drawcia's Fortress, which she turned the Castle of the Two Sisters into a copy of." The Mole said.
"If we defeat Drawcia and her creations, the slaughter will stop...right?" Cozy Glow asked.
"Yes." Titan said simply and bluntly.
"Then let's not waste any time. For the sake of those that die as we defeat Drawcia...let us put an end to this madness!" Cozy Glow exclaimed.
"I couldn't agree more!" Human Fluttershy said.
Meanwhile, the screams of an unknown entity could be heard coming from Drawcia's Fotress before suddenly a hard shelled beast began to rise from the basement of Drawcia's fortress.
My Little Pony: Dawn of Friendship
Goddess of Light: Chapter 2 - Drawcia
The group soon arrived at Drawcia's Fortress, and headed inside. Once inside, they noticed a painting on the wall which was soon brought to life by being colored in by Drawcia's Brush.
Drawcia Creation Summon: Kirby Canvas Curse Music - Track 40 - Drawcia Demo - YouTube
"Looks like Nightmare Moon is up first. Because why not?" Cozy Glow said.
Each floor of the fortress was like this: They'd fight the villains who the main 6 had to fight in order, including the unreformed version of Chrysalis. However, there were a couple of surprises. One of the floors had the versions of Chrysalis from the Changelingverse, one with King Sombra from the sombraverse, and one with Daybreaker.
They managed to defeat The Legion of Doom teamup as well before finally reaching the top floor where Drawcia was waiting eagerly for them it seems. No more smoke and mirrors here it seemed, just the group versus Drawcia.
"Everyone, we've come this far...let's end this!" Cozy Glow said.
"Right you are Cozy Glow. Let's beat Drawcia and restore everyone's memories." Luster Dawn said. Drawcia soon cackled.
"Oh I'm afraid it's going to take more then that." Drawcia remarked.
"! She TALKS now?!" Titan exclaimed.
"I've already fed the memories to the world destroyer known as Lavos who is currently absorbing that information and will eventually reawaken and wreck havoc on your world. And then I will use Lavos to rule the entire multi-verse!" Drawcia said.
"She's gone more insane then last time...everyone, let's do this thing!" The Mole said.
Drawcia Sorceress: Drawcia Sorcress - Kirby Canvas Curse OST Extended - YouTube
The group had to deal with Drawcia herself now, and boy was she putting up one hell of a fight; teleporting as much as she could and summoning various small level creations to try and overwelm the heroes.
"I can see why she can be a handful...but does she do anything herself?" Chrysalis asked.
"You have no idea." Titan said.
"Destroying all worlds...this witch must be stopped. Because destroying all worlds is overkill even for me!" Lord Tirek said.
"Look out!" The Mole said and tanked an attack from a mook for Kale and took no damage.
"How did you take no damage from that explosion?!" Kale exclaimed.
"If there is one advantage to this body of mine, it's that it takes something of very high power to even pierce my skin." The Mole said.
"So while your a mutant mole, you are granted near invincibility." Human Fluttershy observed.
"Not entirely invincible; only the most powerful of things can pierce my hide." The Mole said.
"Which means this is like a cake walk for you." Original Rainbow Dash said.
"Mmm...cake..." Both Pinkie Pies said at once.
"Doh..." Original Rainbow Dash said.
Eventually though, the gang managed to deal enough damage to Drawcia to make her start exploding. But then a bunch of paint formed around her and she became some sort of paint monster.
"It's not over yet; here comes Drawcia Soul!" Titan said.
Drawcia Soul: Drawcia Soul - Kirby Canvas Curse OST Extended - YouTube
While Drawcia Soul didn't summon minions like normal Drawcia, it was much more powerful in it's attacks and it took evertyhing everyone had to dodge each attack.
"Gah, this phase is much tougher then that last one." Human Rainbow Dash said.
"What did you expect? Drawcia is desperate now." Titan said.
"You can say that again!" Luster Dawn said.
The group continued to pummel Drawcia Soul when and where they could. As they did so, the soul began to lose more and more paint as if signifying how much damage the group was doing.
Eventually though, the group managed to destroy Drawcia Soul.
"We did it!" Cozy Glow said. But then...

"What was that?" Luster Dawn looked towards Drawcia's Brush which suddenly began floating by itself.

Suddenly the brush drew a picture of nightmare moon before attaching itself to it's creation.

"YOU MEAN TO TELL ME THE BRUSH WAS DRAWCIA THE WHOLE TIME?!" Princess Twilight exclaimed.
"WELCOME TO MY WORLD!" Titan yelled out.

"ALRIGHT, I'VE HAD ENOUGH! HERE I GO!" The Mole said.
The Mole - "Mutant Soldier of Justice": Knight of the Wind Sonic and the Black Knight Music Extended [Music OST][Original Soundtrack] - YouTube
Drawcia's Brush was quite persistent, and got the whole thing that the Brush was the true form of Drawcia and not what they were facing before.
But as the group fought the various forms of Drawcia Brush which every time they defeated it's current form, it brought forth another form to take hold of, the castle began to crumble more and more.
"The castle can't hold itself together much longer, we need to get out of here!" Titan said.
"Let's run!" The Mole said as everyone began to run.
"No! I won't let you escape!" Drawcia said as it chased after the heroes and tried to attack them as they ran but failed in hitting our heroes at all with Mole effortlessly deflecting each shot Drawcia made. Suddenly, there was a point where the Mole slashed the brush which dealt the final blow as it began to explode from all the damage but then...

Suddenly a bunch of red light erupted from the basement of the fortress which started raining down and dealing the final blow to Drawcia.
"But...why?" Drawcia said before it was totally destroyed.
"Are we too late?" Cozy Glow asked. Suddenly a creature in a hard shell appeared.

"This must be Lavos!" Luster Dawn said. She then proceeded to blast it with a spell which...one shotted the beast?
"...Wait that's it?" Kale asked.
"I don't think so. There's a large amount of energy coming from INSIDE that thing. I think this was just a shell in a literal sense of the word." Cozy Glow said.
"Welp...in we go then." Luster Dawn said as the group entered the shell of Lavos.

Lavos's screech was heard coming from deep within the beast at it's core.
"We don't know what Lavos will do if it gains it's full power; we need to end it here and now." Luster Dawn said as the group continued on.
"I can only wonder what kind of beast Lavos is." Human Fluttershy said.
"You don't want to know, trust me." Titan said.
Eventually the group found something strange. It was a polsating part of Lavos.
"This must be the heart of lavos." Luster Dawn said, before blasting it with a spell, getting rid of it. However, soon something else appeared.
"This is the real heart of Lavos. This is what controls everything Lavos does and is responsible for the near destruction of a far off planet." The Mole said.
Suddenly the area around them was stripped away and something was happening to the area around them.

LAVOS - DESTROYER OF WORLDS

"! This...this is..." Princess Twilight said. "This is all of Equestria's history in order!" She said as the area around them was seemingly going through Equestria's history.
"Lavos...what really is this thing? I demand answers, now!" Human Fluttershy ordered.
"...Tales of a world on the edges of the Multiverse that was once infested by a version of Lavos. Lavos fell from the sky and embeded itself in the world, drinking the world dry as it grew bigger and bigger, absorbing the world's history bit by bit." Titan started.
"One day, the day of judgement, in 1999 A.D., Lavos was supposed to arise from the earth and completely destroy it. After which, Lavos would become a great mountain and begin spawning more of itself." The Mole added on.
"What do you mean it was supposed to arise and destroy the land? What happened that made it not do that?" Human Twilight asked.
"A group of three from the mondern day of the world discovered their ruined future, the future created by the hand of lavos. Only a handful of humans managed to survive the apocolpytic event. Wanting to stop the ruined future from coming true, the group of three teamed up with many faces from across time and space in an effort to defeat lavos once and for all." Titan explained.
"Eventually, the group was successful in defeating Lavos and saved their world from the destruction that awaited it. That was the end of Lavos, or so the multiverse thought." The Mole added on. "A part of Lavos must have found it's way to your world, and it was supposed to do the same to your world as it would have to that world, but something stopped it in it's tracks before it gained enough energy to do so." He added.
"The sonic Rainboom..." Princess Twilight noted. "That means the ruined future I saw with Starlight...it was the byproduct of Lavos!" She added.
"But you stopped Starlight from stopping the Sonic Rainboom, so then how is Lavos still here?" Human Twilight asked.
"It must have been sleeping, readying itself to travel to a new world before Drawcia gave it enough energy to start to awaken once again. Which means if we don't stop it..." Titan said.
"Death and destruction of all life awaits." Princess Twilight said.
"Lavos is nothing more then a mindless being that cares for nothing more then to cause the world to burn. And then after that, spawn more of itself to send to other worlds so it can begin the process all over again." The Mole said.
"Can it even be considered anything more then a mindless beast?" Human Fluttershy asked.
"The matter of who created it and why has long since been lost to time itself. All we can do it stop it from destroying this world and many others." Titan said.
The Battle was ranging on as the conversation progressed, but no matter what, it seems that our heros were just not doing enough damage to Lavos to finally end it all.
"Why? Is this the limit to the magic of friendship?" Princess Twilight asked.
"No...that's not possible...there has to be something we can do...there has to be. My freindships can't be destroyed so easily..." Cozy Glow said, tears in her eyes. Her necklace was glowing brightly.
"! Cozy Glow, your necklace! Maybe it can defeat Lavos!" Luster Dawn suggested.
"My...necklace?" Cozy Glow asked before suddenly the words of Kai-tan repeated to her.
In order to stop the upcoming evil, you'll have to destroy that which you hold most dear to you and you alone

But it's not my friendships I have to destroy...it was never my friendships that had to be destroyed. Cozy Glow thought to herself. The Answer was with me the entire time...I just refused to believe it. She continued to think.
"Cozy Glow? What's wrong?" Human Twilight asked.
It's my necklace...I have to destroy my necklace. Cozy Glow thought to herself and closed her eyes. Forgive me mother, but this is the only way to defeat Lavos. Cozy Glow thought before taking off her necklace with her front left hoof.
"Cozy Glow, what are you doing?" Princess Twilight asked.
"The only thing I can do. To defeat Lavos, I must destroy that which I hold most dear to me, and me alone." Cozy Glow said before drawing back her right hoof. "I must destroy my necklace!" She said before suddenly launching her right hoof forward and effortlessly destroying her necklace. A rainbow light was sent out from the destroyed necklace, which suddenly restored everypony's memories.
"! Everypony's memories...I sense they've been restored." Princess Twilight said.
Inside Cozy Glow's mind though, something more was happening.

"Where am I?" Cozy Glow said. She was inside her own mind now. "What is this place?" Cozy Glow asked.
"Hello young one." A female voice called out. Suddenly a young woman in golden garments approached Cozy Glow.
"Who are you?" Cozy Glow asked.
"I used to be the godess of light, before I was killed by the god of two sides known as Yin-Yang." The woman stated. "But after my death, my power roamed the multi-verse, looking for one to pass itself into. And of all the possible canidates, you were chosen Cozy Glow. Because while you may have started as a being with bad intentions, you redeemed yourself and then some. You are a perfect ideal candidate to become the new Goddess of Light, reborn in a mortal body." The Goddess stated.
"Me? Why me though? After all I did in the past, why me?" Cozy Glow asked.
"Because, you chose to give two beings a second chance, even if they did not deserve it. The Goddess of Light is about hope and second chances. And no one has demonstrated that more then you, Cozy Glow." The Goddess explained.
"I see...then maybe...maybe with your power...I can defeat Lavos and save everyone whose still alive." Cozy Glow said.
"Well said young Cozy Glow." The Goddess said and soon aborbed into Cozy Glow.
Outside, Cozy Glow began to glow with a bright yellow light.

"What's happeneing with Cozy Glow?" Luster Dawn asked as she and everyone else shielded their eyes.
"LAVOS!" Cozy Glow's voice rang out. "Your presence here has caused creatures to die, some of whom were my friends!" Cozy Glow said.
"What the hell?" Sunset said said as Cozy Glow's body started to change.
Final Boss Phase 2 - Goddess of Light Reborn: Zanza Xenoblade Music Extended [Music OST][Original Soundtrack] - YouTube
Cozy Glow's Body grew a bit, including her horn and wings. What's more, while her body became pink once more, her mane was now blonde and curly, her bows were a scarlet red, and her eyes were a bright shining yellow.
"You used Drawcia to steal memories from everyone, you used her minions to kill others, and then you went and killed Drawcia too. You are nothing but a blight on the world, a darkness I must erase." Cozy Glow said as she suddenly spread her front legs apart. "Therefor, it is time I finished you off. For I am Cozy Glow, Princess of Rebirth, and the Goddess of Light reborn as a mortal being!" Cozy Glow said. Her magic was no longer a deep red, but now a bright white color, as if channeling the energy of Light itself!
"Whoa, check out Cozy Glow, she looks different now!" Scootaloo said.
Cozy Glow's attacks were actually having an effect on Lavos now, and it was taking damage at a much heavier degree. The light Cozy Glow was producing was shining forth it's judgment onto Lavos and deemed the beast too destructive to exist. Each attack was causing Lavos more and more pain.
"Whatever happened to Cozy Glow's magic? It seems to be more effective against Lavos now." Sweetie Belle observed.
"It's the power of the Goddess of Light..." The Spirit of Harmony was there now. "It's what Kai-Tan saw within Cozy Glow. That power is now weakening Lavos, now is your chance to help Cozy Glow finish off this offworld creature." The Spirit explained.
"Right, let's all do this...TOGETHER!" Luster Dawn said.
Lavos was taking heavy fire, Cozy Glow's awakened state was powering up everyone's strength and was giving them the power to finally end Lavos once and for all.
"Everyone ready for this?" Cozy Glow asked all her friends.
"YOU BET!" Everyone said at once.
"LAVOS, THIS ENDS NOW! YOU CAN NEVER DEFEAT THE MAGIC OF FRIENDSHIP AND THE POWER OF LIGHT COMBINED!" Cozy Glow yelled out as suddenly the Friendship Laser burst forth together with Cozy Glow's power to destroy lavos once and for all.
Everyone had passed out, and was now outside the now back to ruined Castle of the Two Sisters.
"Is everyone alright?" Cozy Glow asked. Everyone spoke up and said so. Cozy Glow smiled. "Good...I'm glad." She added. Princess Twilight walked up to Cozy Glow.
"How are you feeling?" Princess Twilight asked.
"Golly, I'm just swell...Headmare Twilight." Cozy Glow said with a wink and a giggle. Which prompted everyone else to start laughing.
"Guess Cozy Glow hasn't changed that much, despite suddenly being the Goddess of Light reborn as a mortal." Luster Dawn said.
"As if that would change me. I'm still the same filly who once tried to drain the magic from all of equestria and teamed up with Lord Tirek and Chrysalis to become the Legion of Doom in an effort to defeat Twilight once and for all. That is still a part of me and won't change." Cozy Glow said.
"Nice to know you still are the same pony at the end of the day. Just better not expect us to call you our goddess from here on out." Kale said.
"Wouldn't dream of making you or letting you. I'm still your friend, Cozy Glow." Cozy Glow said.
"So, while you most certainly have changed a bit, you have also changed very little." Princess Twilight said.
"I'm still the same pony at the end of the day. I just have the powers of the Goddess of Light now is all..." Cozy Glow said. "Shame I had to destroy that necklace of mine to awaken these powers, but what can you do right?" Cozy Glow said.
"You can make another one." Suddenly Kai-Tan was there.
"You...your that Tanuki...Kai-Tan right?" Cozy Glow asked.
"That would be me, yes. I was just saying that now that you have awakened your true powers, you can always create another Necklace of Light." Kai-Tan said.
"Thanks but...I'd rather make a Necklace of Light for someone besides me if I do. It just wouldn't be the same if I made one for myself." Cozy Glow said.
"A respectible sentiment, you have learnt much, Cozy Glow." Princess Twilight said.
"I wouldn't have made it to this point without you, Headmare Twilight." Cozy Glow then hugged Princess Twilight who smilled and returned the hug.
"And I am very proud of you, Cozy Glow." Princess Twilight said, smiling.

Season 1, Episode 5: What Sunset Left Behind
Sunset Shimmer's New Journal: Entry Number 1 - What I Left Behind...
With a little persuasion from Luster Dawn, I bought myself a journal I can write my own thoughts in.
So to start with, do I feel bad for leaving my friends from the human world behind? I do. I do a lot. But they understood that I'm not from their world. They knew that I couldn't stay forever. Because if I did, then I'd forget Equestria completely. Thus all of them were very supportive over my decision to return to Equestria permanently. I decided to leave the magic journal Twilight gave me with Applejack so I could stay in touch with my friends from that side of the mirror.
But when I came over to Equestria, I didn't expect to get roped into helping Luster Dawn keep some demon devil from killing Rarity before she could die peacefully. Go figure. Equestra's world was quite a few years ahead of the human world. Well...more then a few. More like a a decade or two ahead. It's weird. At least I was able to bound quickly with Luster Dawn. Don't know why, but she was surprisingly easy to befriend.
Still, Twilight believes that she and I could be doing some amazing things together in the future. I kind of just want to stay out of things. I've had enough saving the world in the human world. But then again, I suppose if things get bad, and I mean really bad, then I suppose I could help out.
But for now, I left behind my old friends, my old house, and my old belongings. I quite litterally came here with nothing but a saddlebag. I miss my friends.

Castle of Friendship - CMC's Room
"Really, you all forgive me?" Cozy Glow asked the CMC.
"Well considering how much you've changed since way back then..." Scootaloo said.
"Ah reckon we can give you another chance." Apple Buck said with a smile.
"Besides, the fact that your sorry and mean it, shows you've changed." Sweetie Belle said.
"Me and Silver Spoon weren't there for all of the stuff you did, but if the CMC can forgive you, then I suppose your worth making friends with." Diamond Tiara said.
"I most certainly agree with that." Silver Spoon said.
"Thanks you guys." Cozy Glow said. She looked at Apple Buck. "...Luster tells me you and Apple Bloom decided to switch worlds on a permanent because of the whole mirror thing." Cozy said.
"Yeah. But I'm still the same person." Apple Buck said.
"I know. Luster explained everything." Cozy Glow said. "Still gonna be weird you being a stallion instead of a mare, AB." She added as Luster came in.
"I think the same is going to be true of your counterpart, Cozer Glow." Apple Buck said.
"Ah here you are Cozy." Luster said from behind the pink pegasus. "Reconnecting with the CMC I see." She added with a smile.
"Yeah. I was actually thinking all of us could have some fun today; really, I think it'll be great having my old friends and new friends playing together." Cozy Glow said with a smile.
"That actually doesn't sound like a bad idea." Sweetie Belle said.
"It'll be like old times mixing in with the new times." Scootaloo said.
"What the heck, I'm game." Diamond Tiara said.
"Yeah. This could be a whole lot of fun." Silver Spoon said.
Indeed, it was a lot of fun for all parties involved; Chrysalis and her daughter even joined in the fun at some point.
The group all turned in for the night when it was time to do so; Luster even gave a unique friendship report that Cozy had learnt in regards to friendship too.
Elsewhere, the Treehouse of Friendship glowed brighter. And also elsewhere, a mysterious male pony was spotted in Ponyville.

Season 2, Episode 8: The Game Part 1
"I hearby scatter the elements of Honesty, Loyalty, Kindness, Generosity, and Laughter across New Equestria!" Time Stop said, scattering the mentioned elements. Their locations suddenly apperred on the map.
"Remember, collect them in any order you wish. Oh and, I don't care how many of you go after a single one; but I would advice sticking with all 7 of you together. Here..." Time Stop handed Cozy Glow a copy of the map she can check at any time. "...I'm not going to have you run back and forth between the locations to double check. Now with that out of the way, let the game begin!" Time Stop said before vanishing inside of a giant clock.
"...Well if he's only here to help us, suppose we can trust him." Namu said.
"Namu says we go after Loyalty first." Namu said.
"No. No being greedy." Kale said.
"But Kale that's Molson's Element." Luster Dawn Pointed out.
"Oh...right." Kale said.
"Way to show your generosity, Namu." Summer Breeze said.
Luster Dawn and her friends arrived at the location for the element of Loyalty.
"Really? You went after Loyalty first? Well, don't say I didn't warn you." Time Stop said as he appeared again. "Well, I suppose time will tell if your ready for this." Time Stop said before he suddenly used some kind of dark magic to suddenly turn the element of loyalty into some sort of Dark Rainbow Dash.
'WAIT WHAT THE HECK?! YOU DIDN'T TELL ME YOU COULD SUMMON DARK VERSIONS OF THE ORIGINAL ELEMENTS?!" Cozy Glow said.
"WHAT BETTER WAY TO TEST YOUR APPITUDE!" Time Stop said. "By the way, they will be out to kill you. Just thought I'd let you know." He said and then vanished.
"How is he NOT an Eldrich Horror?!" Namu asked.
"Look out!" Molson said.
Time Guardian Battle
"Gah...Time Stop wasn't kidding when he said this thing would be out to kill us." Chitin said.
"I'm starting to doubt Time Stops whole moral standing...I wonder if he was lying to us about what he is?" Luster Dawn asked, as she and her friends battled the Rainbow Dash clone.
"I wouldn't put it past someone like him. Something about him rubbed me the wrong way..." Cozy Glow added.
The group continued battle against the Rainbow Dash Clone until eventually they defeated it and got the Element of Loyalty back.
"That's one down, four more to go." Cozy Glow said.
"Yeah. This could take awhile..." Luster Dawn said.

Season 3 Prologue: Meet Lola
Unknown P.O.V.
I yawned as I turned off my TV after watching a very specific movie for the ninth time.
"Oh? You getting ready for bed Lola?" A female simi-anthro black fox asked me.
"Yes mother." I told her as a male black simi-anthro black fox came in.
"She's such a good girl." The male said. That's my father for you.
Allow me to introduce everyone to my family. My name is Lola, I'm a black fox like my parents.
My mother is Patra, she's a high priestess that worships the Desert Goddess; one of the true gods of the world I live in.
As for my father...believe it or not, it's none other then Rob Snowden. Yes, the legendary justice hero himself.
He's told me all about his life up until he had me with my mother. Every part of his journey was so adventurous and special...he's told me the stories so much I have it all memorized by heart.
As for that movie I was watching? It was part of this one show I came across and am a huge fan of. It's called "My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic".
Although I will admit: I've only rewatched the first seven seasons as well as every movie related to the series.
I am probably the biggest nerd of those first seven seasons. I love those first seven seasons to death. But I never watch past those first seven seasons. Something has always told me not to for some reason.
All I know is that tomorrow is my 16th birthday; and my father is letting me go off and find a world to become my own person in. Yes that's right, I want to be just like my father: Someone who saves people and helps them out where I can.
I can already picture it: Lola, daughter of Rob Snowden, and the most current justice hero there is!
Which is why I already know which world I want to go to. It's why I binge watched the entire first seven seasons and all the related movies this past week.
I want to go to the world of "My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic".
Tomorrow is my day!

Season 3: Episode 3 - More on the Necklace
After quite the long walk, our group finally returns home after going through a second Vault of Secrets location in order to get back to their own dimension.
"Well...I will say that seeing other versions of this universe was an experience to say the least. And with Cozy Glow's necklace somehow being able to connect to them, I might as well learn all I can about these other worlds." Princess Twilight said.
"What's this about a necklace?" Lola asked.
"Oh right." Cozy Glow said, before showing Lola her necklace. "This thing." She added. Lola gasped.
"That necklace...I recognize that necklace! How the hell is it in your universe?!" Lola exclaimed.
"You know where that necklace comes from?" Sci-Twi asked.
"How could I not? This necklace...it's from a video game my father taught me how to play called 'Bravely Default: Where the Fairy Flies'." Lola said.
"First a show and now a video game...what kind of world do you come from anyways, Lola?" Princess Twilight asked.
"It's not important. My point is, something must have happened in that universe for this necklace to wind up here in your universe. Considering it's origin, that makes it the most valuable object Cozy Glow owns." Lola said.
"I like my friendships more." Cozy Glow stated.
"Well that's good." Luster Dawn said, smiling.
"Well it's great you value your friendships more then that necklace, but whatever you do, don't let that necklace out of your sight. In the wrong hands, it could spell disaster." Lola said.
"Got it. Thanks." Cozy Glow said, smiling. Suddenly another earthquake was going on.
"WHAT? AGAIN?!" Human Rainbow Dash questioned.
"WHO MISUSED THE VAULT OF SECRETS THIS TIME?!" Main Rainbow Dash exclaimed.
TO BE CONTINUED IN STARCROSSED!

Yep, it's merely one episode later, and already we're going back to the Vault of Secrets for the second connected crossover. Don't worry, it'll be a while before the next one after this one, I swear!

Time Patrol: Chapter 6 - Slade's Body
The Time Patrol group was looking at the time when Lightning Dust was just kicked out of the Wonderbolts and was suddenly possessed by a nightmare.
"Once again, it seems Mistique is using her nightmares to cause problems in the past." The Jackle said. "This time using one of them to possess Lightning Dust." He added.
"Let's not waste any time, we better get out there." Cozy Glow said.
"Worry not about how the location is on clouds; the Altar of Time will add a cloud walking spell to you all during the timestream slip." The Jackle said.
"I was just about to wonder about that." Luster Dawn said. The group traveled through the timestream and ended up ready to take on the possessed Lightning Dust.
"Whoa! Where'd all of them come from?" Spitfire asked.
"It's that group from the future I was talking about Captain Spitfire. I had a feeling that they'd be showing up here as soon as Lightning Dust got possessed by that nightmare." Rainbow Dash said.
"I see. But this is a wonderbolt problem." Spitfire said.
"No offense there Spitfire, but are you forgetting there's a possessed Pegasus in front of you made into an alicorn because of the nightmare?" Luster Dawn asked.
"Okay. Fair enough point. But I'm helping you out. And that's final." Spitfire said.
A long battle later, and Lightning Dust returned to normal only for Slade to pop out.
"SLADE!" Cozy Glow's voice was raised.
"Okay, who the hell is this guy?!" Spitfire said.
"I remember this guy, he was there during the Canterlot Wedding incident." Rainbow Dash stated. "Seems he's really bad news." She added.
"I see. Well no one just shows up here at Wonderbolt Property without expecting me to do something about it." Spitfire said.
It was another long battle, and during it, Slade had injured Spitfire.
"Are you okay Captain Spitfire ma'm?" Rainbow Dash asked.
"I'll be fine...it's just an injury. Nothing too serious now." Spitfire said.
"Captain, with your permission, allow me to handle things from here." Rainbow Dash said.
"Permission granted. Give him one for me." Spitfire said.
"You really think you've got me on the ropes? Just wait until you see my new techniques." Slade said.
The second scuffle with Slade was ended with Rainbow Dash damaged Slade's left wrist and disarmed it.
"Ack! Well this just got awkward. Normally people aim for my right hand when they disarm me." Slade said.
"Well judging from the way you've been swinging, you were always leading with your left. While it is true many ponies and other creatures are right handed, considering the way you've been swinging makes you lead with your left side more then your right, it was pretty clear to me you were left handed. That's why I asked Spitfire for permission to step in: I was planning on disarming your dominant hand. Sure you could continue to fight with your right it seems like, but because your dominantly left, that would make you come off as clunkier in your attacks and thus easier to predict and counter." Rainbow Dash said.
"Way to go on the observation there, Rainbow Dash." Spitfire praised.
"Heh...thanks." Rainbow Dash said. But when she spotted Slade's wrist, her eyes went wide. "WHOA, WHAT THE..." Rainbow Dash was exclaiming when Slade slipped back through the time stream.
"Hey...did anyone else just catch that?" Cozy Glow asked.
"Yeah. Slade's wrist. After Rainbow Dash damaged it, the skin was gone and replaced with some kind of purple glowy stuff." Luster Dawn said.
"So I'm not the only one who just saw that then." Rainbow Dash said. "And that strange creature's name is Slade huh? I'll have to remember that one." She added. Spitfire approached the Time Patrol Group.
"Thank you for the assist I suppose. What was this Slade doing here anyways?" Spitfire asked.
"No idea, but he was responsible for causing Lightning Dust to get possessed by that nightmare." Chitin said. "It's time for us to go." He added before he and the time patrol group were sent back through the timestream.
"Slade...something tells me that mysterious swordscreature has a body being animated by some really dark magic." Rainbow Dash said.
"That was the impression I got as well, Rainbow Dash." Spitfire said.
"SAY WHAT?!" Princess Twilight exclaimed.
"It's true, we saw it for ourselves: Slade's body is being held together by what seemed like really dark magic." Luster Dawn said.
"It actually makes me feel sorry for him to a degree. When I was looking at that magic, it felt like there was nothing there but darkness and despair. It makes me feel like something occured in Slade's past that made him become the way he was. If only there was a way for me to help him be raised in a world where whatever made him become this way would never happen." Cozy Glow said.
"I hope your right about that." Princess Twilight said.

Time Patrol: Interlude 2 - Tanuki
Elsewhere, a single Tanuki male was simply out in a hill.
“So...the one known as Cozy Glow has become an Alicorn has she? The Jackle only saw one half of the picture but I, Kai-Tun; the God of All Origin; can see beyond this. There will come a time for all to be revealed...but I can only say this: The trails of Cozy Glow are not over yet.” The Tanuki said.

The Tanuki’s full name is Kai-Tan Sal Do Chi; which is in an unknown language and it means “Origin All of God” which is simply his god title given in backwards order.

DoF Epilogue - Until We Meet Again
Three Months Later
"Your leaving?!" Luster Dawn exclaimed.
"Trust me, this decision did not come easy. There's just so many versions of Equestria out there, and I want to find one to become a resident of. Sure how I'll go about doing it won't be a good thing but..." Cozy Glow said. "It's something I have to do and feel like I must do as well." She added.
"We're really going to miss you..." Princess Twilight said.
"Don't cry Headmare Twilight. And if you ever need me..." Cozy Glow said before suddenly making a new Necklace of Light and giving it to Luster Dawn. "Here, you can have this. If you ever come across something like Lavos that threatens this version of Equestria again, be sure to wish on this necklace and I'll be back here faster then you can say 'hyperspeed bananas'!" Cozy Glow said. A yellow line briefly connected Luster and Cozy; the former soon hugging the later.
"No matter what, you'll always be my best friend, Cozy Glow." Luster Dawn said.
"That's right. We'll always be best friends Luster. Best Friends Forever." Cozy Glow said. She then opened a portal to a different equestria using her powers. "Well, this is where I say goodbye to you all. May we meet again some time." Cozy Glow said. "Until then, never forget the most important thing: Friendship is Magic." She said before heading through the portal which closed behind her.
"Do you think that we'll ever see her again?" Luster Dawn asked.
"Yes. And so will other versions of us." Princess Twilight said.
