Chapter 5: The Assault

Falling Moon had awoken at around 2:30am, seeing a dim light the filly jumped off the bed and walked around the room looking for Rising Sun.

“Sun, where are you?” Falling Moon shouted, looking around the hotel room. She looked everywhere. “Rising Sun, where are you? Please stop messing around, this is not funny.” Falling moon said, getting scared. She continued looking around. When Falling Moon did not see Rising Sun, she fell on her haunches and started tearing up.

“Sun, please, come back.” She sobbed.

“*Cough* Dammit. Shouldn’t have tried that. *Cough*.”

“Wait, where are you at?” Falling Moon asked, moving her hooves from her eyes.

“Outside, and careful, there’s blood everywhere.” Sun started coughing violently.

“A-a-are you ok?” Falling Moon asked as she walked outside carefully, scared for dear life.

“Honestly, no. But I’ll live. Though I probably won’t-.” Before Sun could finish, Falling Moon interrupted, screaming.

“WHAT!? YOU WON’T LIVE!? PLEASE TELL ME YOU ARE JOKING!” Falling Moon shouting, sobbing again.

“Moon, it’s not that bad. I’ll live. I’m just not gonna be able to walk for a long time. Not unless you know someone who makes prosthetics.” Sun replied, breathing raggedly.

“Get back in here now. Please, get back inside.” Falling Moon said, trying to reach up at the door knob, only for it to be encased in a grey aura as Sun opened it herself, before crawling inside after Moon.

“What were you doing?” Falling Moon asked, hugging Rising Sun before recoiling as she finally saw just how bad her injuries were in the dim light of the house. Her left foreleg was nothing more than a bloody stump, and there were several small cuts all over her body.

“W-what happened? What were you doing?” Falling Moon asked, looking like she was going to cry again. But after a few seconds and a brief flash, Rising Sun’s leg was fixed and the gashes were gone.

“Huh, I guess you can use magic, huh Moon?” Sun said with a small smile as she stood up slowly.

“Wait, I can? No I can’t, my horn was never glowing. Yours just died down!” Falling Moon said.

“You serious? I never felt myself accessing it. You’re sure it was me?” Sun asked.

“Yes I am what is going on tell me now.” Falling Moon demanded

“Long story short, I tried to improvise a spell to get home, and ‘something’ attacked me.” Sun answered in a serious tone.

“What was it?” Falling Moon asked sniffling

“I don’t know Moon. But whatever it was, it wants ‘you’. That means you’re in danger, even here. DAMMIT! I should’ve killed it when I had the chance instead of hesitating!” Sun shouted.

All the while Falling Moon was shaking in fear frozen in place. “What did it want with me?” Falling Moon asked with fear in her tone.

“I don’t know, Moon. I just don’t know.” Sun replied sadly, as she wrapped her forelegs protectively around Moon.

“Great, now I am scared of two things.” Falling Moon said while she hugged Sun tightly.

“Moon, I promise, I won’t let anything happen to you. Even if I have to risk my life, I will keep you safe.” Sun stated.

“But what was it? What did it look like?” Falling Moon asked with a yawn.

“All I could tell was that it looked like it was made of shadows. It even changed the forms of its limbs while we fought.” Sun stated.

“B-but what if it gets me?” Falling Moon asked while falling asleep. Sun just cradled her in her arms as she let sleep take her, before whispering “It won’t. I’ll die before I let it hurt you Moon. I promise.” And so she fell asleep, still holding Moon tightly, as they borth drifted off to the land of dreams...

“What do you mean you did not get the child!?” Citzen yelled

“I am sorry Master Citzen, we could not get to her. There was another mare protecting her.” The Umbra said.

“Well too bad. We need that filly to fulfill the prophecy!” Citzen proclaimed.

“Yes we know Master Citzen, but we can't get to the filly until she is alone, which will be impossible.” Umbra said.

“I only meant to bring the filly here, but I brought her to the wrong world. I meant to bring her to another Equestria where she would be a colt, but I screwed up and brought both her and her friend. I WANT YOU TO GET THAT DAMN CHILD NOW!” Citzen exclaimed, before a sadistic smile crossed his face. “And if that mare stands in your way again, this time, don’t even bother leaving her alive.”

Falling Moon had awoke seeing she was being held by Rising Sun still.

“Sun, are you awake?” Falling Moon asked, spitting out a feather, before grimacing as Sun began to snore loudly.

“I guess not.” She said in an unamused tone, before attempting to escape the grip her friend had on her, only to give up after ten minutes of futile struggling. ”Wake your flank up already, I can’t breathe!” Falling Moon said, still trying to squeeze out of her friend’s grasp. Eventually, she managed to get a solid hit on Sun’s snout, and her friend woke with a start, knocking Moon off the bed.

“Dammit! What hit me!?” Sun exclaimed as she rubbed her nose with a hoof.

“I did! You had me in your iron grasp.” Falling Moon exclaimed, waving her hooves around.

“Sorry. I kinda fell asleep holding you, didn’t I?” Sun said with a sheepish grin.

“Hey, did you say something before I fell asleep?” Falling Moon asked.

“Uh, I dunno. Maybe?” Sun replied nervously.

“Huh, I must have been imagining things.” Falling Moon said.

“Moon, I have to ask you for a favour.” Sun stated, ignoring her comment.

“Sure anything for you.” Falling Moon said

“If we find a way home, but only one of us can go, I want you to be the one. I want you to take the chance and get home.” Sun said.

“What are you talking about!?” Falling Moon asked.

“Moon, that attack, it wasn’t a coincidence.” Sun said

“What attack? Sun are you feeling ok?” Falling Moon asked

“What are you-You mean you don’t remember me coming in last night missing a leg after being attacked by a shadow monster?” Sun asked with a shocked expression.

“You were missing a leg? Last, I remember is Dusk saying me and you should go on a camping trip and we came here.” Falling Moon said with a big smile

She doesn’t remember? What’s going on?

“Moon, how old are you?” Sun asked.

“You don’t know how old I am? Duhh, I am five.” Falling Moon said happily

“How old is your sister?” Sun asked, growing worried.

“Wait, I have a sister, since when?” Falling Moon asked, bouncing.

“Um, never mind. My head was a bit scattered there for a second. Sorry.” Sun apologized

“You’re just being silly, aren’t you?” Falling Moon was saying.

“Uh, sure. Let’s go with that. Hey, do you want me to teach you how to wield that sword and use magic?” Sun asked.

“What sword are you talking about auntie Sun?”

“I,m talking abo-Wait. Auntie Sun? Wait, I’m your aunt?” Sun asked incredulously.

“Yes I called you that. You are like an auntie to me. You worked at the castle, taking care of me.” Falling Moon said, giving Sun a hug. Sun just returned the hug, hiding her fears behind a smile and tears of false happiness, as she tried to understand what was happening to her friend.

“So Moon, What do you want for breakfast?” Sun asked.

“Oh, some pancakes sound really good right now.” Falling Moon said while her little wings fluttered “Come on, I am hungry.” Falling Moon said,making an exaggerated face.

“Ok then. Let’s get you some of Dusk’s famous pancakes!” Sun shouted in mock-excitement, before teleporting both herself and Moon to the library, this time landing on a purple dragoness, who groaned in annoyance.

“Honestly, I spend all my time around boys, and the only girls here that I can spend time with are you two.” She said, shaking her head sadly as she pulled herself out from under the ponypile. “So, what brings you two here, then?” She asked as the two picked themselves up.

“We’re here for pancakes!” Moon shouted excitedly.

“And I need to talk to Dusk, if it’s not too much trouble Barb.” Sun said.

“No its no trouble at all” Barb said going to get Dusk Shine after a few minutes Dusk came down stairs

“Hey you two i see you had fun” Dusk said happily

“Yes we did and now its time for pancakes!” Falling Moon said while running around the library like a madfoal

Rising Sun just sighed and went to making pancakes “Ok pancakes are done come and get them” Sun said while Falling Moon came running in there a book fell on the floor but everypony just ignored it

“Wow these are good!” Falling Moon said with a mouth full of pancake meanwhile Dusk and Sun were looking at that book in the living area

“The Legend Of Citzen And Umbra what the hoof kind of book is this i don’t remember seeing it here before” Dusk said

“I don’t know i have never even heard those names” Sun lied

“Well still i am going to read it just to be safe” Dusk said his eyes got wide when he was reading the first page

Both Dusk and Sun looked at each other before putting the book up

“My tummy is hurting” Falling Moon said before puking on the floor
