Chapters It has been eight months since Queen Chrysalis attempted to attack Canterlot with her Changeling army. Princess Luna and Princess Celestia have been keeping an eye out for any sign of the Changelings or their queen. So far there has been no sign of them, but the princesses remain ever vigilant. The security around Canterlot has been doubled with guards stationed at every entrance with their heads held proudly high and their weapons ready to strike at anytime.
While Canterlot is in lock down the ponies of ponyville have been enjoying their peaceful lives, as they always have but they have no idea of what is about to come their way.
It is mid-day in ponyville and the sun is shinning brightly in the sky. Twilight Sparkles and her friends are enjoying a relaxing day at the spa. They are all soaking in the hot tub after getting their hooves done.
"Ah nothing like a day at the spa with your five best friends" Twilight says with gentile voice. As she slightly sinks into the warm water of the tub.
"You got that right Twi" Rainbow dash adds. placing her hooves behind her head, leaning her body against the wall of the tub, and acting cool as always.
"Yeah its great after bucking apples all day" Applejack exclaims, as she flicks her hair out of her face.
"Girls, how about we go to the nearest restaurant and eat to our heart's desire?" Rarity asks
"Oh that sound absolutely lovely Rarity" Fluttershy says quietly with her cute excited expression.
Pinkie pie jumps out of the hot tub with her arms stretched out shouting "Yeah lets order a chocolate cake with pink frosting and sprinkles and..."
Twilight quickly places her hoof over pinkie pie's mouth, laughs, and says "Lets just see how the main course goes first then we can talk about dessert OK Pinkie?"
"Oh fine but I'm still getting the biggest most sugary thing they have on the menu" Pinkie pie shouts with glee and hopping around like she has ants in her pants.
They all share a good laugh before leaving the Spa and heading to the restaurant. Rarity leads the way to the restaurant, when all of a sudden a gaping hole explodes from the ground in front of them with green ghostly ponies galloping out of the hole and into the sky. The once blue sky had now turned a crimson red like blood and the sun seemed to be as black as the darkest cave. ponies ran in horror as a black chariot being pulled by Cerberus shot out of the hole and landed on the ground in front of the town water fountain that seemed to have blood pouring out of it.
After the black chariot landed three lights of scarlet red, deep blue, and blazing yellow came flying out of the hole. The three lights landed near the chariot cracking the ground beneath them as they landed. Everypony could see now see the three beings for what they really were.
The red light was a pitch black earth pony wearing red armor with gold trimmings. black mist was pouring from him and a single glowing red light wear his eyes should be.
The blue light turned out to be a black unicorn with lime green eyes. He wore silver armor with dragon's heads sprouting out of the head, back, shoulders, and tail-end of his armor.
Finally the yellow light was a black Pegasus with golden eyes. Who wore silver armor with gold trimmings. She had a swarm of tiny, yellow, fly-like creatures flying around her as if they were her pets.
After making their presence known to all of the ponies of Ponyville, all of the ponies could do nothing but stare in horror at the black figure riding in the chariot. Their eyes all went wide as the shadowy figure became clear. He is more terrifying than the other three. He is a tall Black alicorn with glowing green eyes whose stature seemed even taller than of Princess Celestia. He wore a pony's skull on his head with a crown made of bones.The armor that he wears was bleach white like bones. The stallion's mane was unlike any other, it glowed a bright green and flowed like the princess's mane but his had a hundred screaming faces, his tail was the exact same way. Then there was his emblem "R.I.P" in big, grey, and bold letters.
The Mighty black alicorn stood up straight with his eyes glowing a menacing green. He spreads out his black feathered wings and sends a wave of magic that turns ponyville back to normal.
all the ponies were in shock as they all stared at the four new and very strange ponies who had just arrived. Even the main six were stunned by the horrific entrance made by these mysterious beings.
The black unicorn of the group looks around at the ponies who were petrified as if they were status. He then looks up at the black alicorn and says with a smirk "You certainly do love to make an entrance my lord".
"Ha ha indeed i do Hydra, but can you blame me?" the alicorn responds like a smart ass, then continues "Do you see the looks on their faces? It is simply nostalgic, do you not agree?".
"Sir this is no time for jokes. We have a problem". The Pegasus stated, frustration in her voice. "We are not in Canterlot lord Necroses"
Necroses looks around and realizes that his general is correct. "It seems you are right Siren. This is ponyville, but when you have not been in equestria for over a thousand years you tend to forget where things are". He said very playfully.
The earth pony of the group stared at King Necroses but said nothing. Necroses then looks back at his companion and smiles at him.
"Yes DJ i know we have an urgent matter to attend to, but you really should learn to take things less serious my friend". Necroses says to the black earth pony.
DJ looks away from his king and into the sky where two unidentified ponies were flying towards them. They are Princess Luna and Princess Celestia. The princess of the sun did not look very happy as she and her sister came closer to the strangers in their land.

Introductions Are In Order
Princess Celestia landed in front of King Necroses, then approached him, fiery rage filled her eyes as she came face to face with the king of the dead.
“What do you think you are doing here, Necroses?” The Princess demanded, as she glared at the king, infuriated at the his presence in her kingdom.
Necroses chuckled before responding. “Ah Princess Celestia it has been far to long since we last spoke, I was beginning to worry you might have forgotten about me.” The King said with an evil smile.
The princess gridded her teeth in anger.“You should have never come back here... You monster”. Celestia said, Her eyes narrowed to show her seriousness. She stomped her front right hoof in anger “Now answer my question”. The Princess demanded, as rage filled her voice.
Princess Luna, who was now the same size as Celestia, landed behind her sister and approached the two mighty alicorns slowly, confusion covering her face. “Sister, who is this pony?”. She asked very carefully, as to not anger her sister any further. She is so surprised at how enraged her sister is, she had never seen her sister so angry at a single pony before.
Necroses tilted his head to look behind Princess Celestia, so he may see the pony who asked the question. He got a huge smile when he saw that it was none other than Princess Luna. The king galloped past Celestia, almost as if she was not there, to reach the lovely Moon Princess. Celestia’s eyes went wide in surprise as the huge stallion passes by her like the wind.
The King knelt down upon reaching Luna as to get face to face with her,. “Oh Luna I see that you have finally returned.” Necroses said with joy, not noticing the ever growing confusion on Luna’s face. “Tell me is your night still as beautiful as it was back then?” He asked eagerly await a response from the Princess.
Luna looked at him in confusion and stated “Umm, we guess it is.... Excuse us, but have we met before?” She asked as she slightly stepped back, not sure of what was going on.
“Wait... You mean you don’t remember me?” Necroses asked, despair fell quickly onto his face.He lifted his body up and turned his head slightly as to look at Celestia. “So you used that spell on her, didn’t you?” he asked with an emotionless expression.
“How could i not?” Celestia said, looking away from the stallion, which whom she had called a monster “After what you did to us”. Gloom suddenly surrounded her, but rage still engulfed her face, as she finished her sentence.
Necroses stood up with his back still facing Celetia. “Oh really, so what did I do that was so bad exactly?” He asks, intentionally trying to anger the already enraged Princess. He turned his body around to face Celestia,his face seemed more serious now and waits for her to do the same.
Princess Celestia slowly turned around now facing King Necroses. She approaches the mighty king of the dead. She looked him in the eyes and slapped the King. The three generals readied themselves to attack the Princess, but Necroses held up a hoof, as a signal to yield. The generals withdrew their motion, and stood at attention.
Celestia stared at the black alicord. “You come to my kingdom... Uninvited, you frighten my subjects, and now you have the nerve to ask me a question like that.” She said, her body now shaking with rage. “Now tell me what you are doing here, before i send you and your three servants back to where you came from.” The white alicorn demanded, her voice echoed through out ponyville.
Necroses chuckled “Oh yes, I was so excited to see the fair Princess Luna again, that I almost forgot what we came here for”. He said with a goofy tone.
The King walked to the center of the town and put a hoof to his mouth and coughed, to clear his throat. He stood up straight and looked to the Princesses and all of ponyville.He placed his right hoof on his chest and proudly exclaims to all of ponyville. “To all of the ponies of Ponyville, And of course the fair princesses”. He winked at Princess Luna. The Princesses of the night blushed slightly at Necroses' statement. Celestia however gave him a spiteful glares.
“I King Necroses and My companions DJ, Hydra, and Siren have come to your humble kingdom. to present you with information, we have found on the Changelings”.
Celestia Charged at Necroses and slammed him into the wall of a nearby house, her horn was firmly pressed against his throat. “Don’t toy with me, demon”. The Princess said as she pressed her horn tighter against the skin of The King’s throat.
"You really should calm down Princess." Necroses said calmly, as if he was not even afraid of what the princess was planning to do.
Suddenly Celestia felt a blade against her throat. She turned her head slightly to the side and saw the black Pegasus, standing on her back, with a sword clenched in her mouth.
"Back away from the king Princess." Siren demanded, with a cold and emotionless voice.
Celestia removed her horn from the throat of Necroses, then backed away from him as instructed. Siren then removed the sword from Celestia's throat and jumped off the princess and landed next to the black unicorn, known as Hydra. Necroses brushed himself off, then walked up to Celestia, so that they could continue their conversation.
Once everypony calmed down Celestia asked The King, in the calmest voice she could how he got the supposed information. Necroses revealed , without a struggle that since he is the ruler of the dead he has to keep an eye on all of his future subjects, that includes the changelings. He stated that he was claiming an elderly changeling's soul, who had died of old age and over heard queen Chrysalis talking about an invasion on all of equestria.
Celestia sneered at The King's Intel and state, with a little pride "Sorry to disappoint you Necroses , but the Changelings already tried to attack us over eight months ago."
Necroses laughed at The Princess then told her "Well sorry to disappoint you Princess, but we received this information about a week ago."
"I DON'T BELIEVE YOU!!" The Princess yelled, in disbelief. " You only want to betray us, so you can accomplish some sick and twisted goal." She said, quite sure that her words were true.
Necroses pretended to weep, and put a hoof on his chest and head, just to be dramatic. He then said very mockingly. "Oh Celestia I'm hurt that you would say such a thing about me... I mean I come all the way here just to help you, and you question my intentions, you know me better than that Tia." He concluded, as he placed both of his hooves firmly back on the ground.
Celestia growled at him and said "Do not call me that, you lost the privilege to address me as that a long time ago. I indeed know you better, and I wish i had never known you at all." She stated, holding back her anger the best she could.
"Well if you don't believe me... Then i guess I'll just have to show you."
"How do you plan on doing that?" Luna asked from behind her sister.
"I'm glad you asked my dear." Necroses said in a soft voice. "DJ!" he shouted to the red armored pony.
DJ stepped forward and nodded to his king. He turned his attention to the mayor, who was standing next to Pinkie Pie. He charged and her and pinned her down. The Stallion looked her in the eyes with his one red eye, which was glowing much brighter than before. He lifted his right foreleg, then slammed it down onto the mayor's head, crushing it beneath his hoof. Blood splattered everywhere and covered the main six, but there was something odd about this blood. It was lime green, and the mayor's body quickly converted into her natural changeling form.
Celestia could not believe her eyes. The fact that a changeling was in disguise right under her nose filled her with fear. She stared at the corpse of the former mayor for a short time before redirecting her gaze to Necroses.
The King returns the Princess's gaze and said, with a regal and serious voice."There are more of them you know."
Lord Necroses turned his head and nodded to Hydra, as if he were giving a signal. Hydra looks to his King and gives a nod back. The black unicorn then raised his horn, it then lit up with a green aura. He whipped his horn towards the ground and send out a wave of magic that turned every changeling in town into their natural forms.
The changelings were caught off guard, as the unicorn cased his spell. At that moment DJ and Siren leaped from their positions and attacked every changeling in sight. They viciously slaughtered their enemies with such speed and ferocity, they moved like lightning and struck with the strength of an Ursa Major. The changelings were all dead within a matter of seconds.
Blood splattered all over Ponyville as the two generals returned to their positions. The Changeling's heads and limbs littered the streets, everypony in Ponyville was covered in the green blood, all except for Hydra who had put a barrier up around himself right before his comrades attacked.
"well now that we have that out of the way." King Necroses said, while wiping the blood from his eyes. "IIIIITS... CLEANING TIME!!!." He yelled, while smiling from ear to ear.
The mighty alicorn's eyes lit up a bright green, as his eyes lit up a black vortex appeared in the sky. The blood and corpses were sucked into the vortex, it closed right after it absorbed all of the dead changelings. Necroses approached Celestia and offered that they continue the conversation at the castle. The Princess of the sun agreed, still shocked by what had just happened. Before the three alicorns took off for the castle Twilight Sparkle stopped them to try and ask Celestia a few questions.
"Celestia! whats going on?" Twilight said in a panicked voices
"Twilight my most faithful student, I must go to the castle now but i promise that afterwards I will answer all of your questions." Celestia said, trying to hurry.
Twilight looked away for a second then nodded to The Princess, to show she understood. after a quick hug the two parted ways and Twilight watched as the three flew away.
The three generals staid behind in ponyville to keep an eye out for anymore changelings. DJ's eye was now dark, it blended in with the black mist that covered his body. This was a good sign that there were no more changeling in the area, but they staid just to be safe.
When all of the commotion died down the generals were approached by the main six. Rainbow Dash was geeking out at how awesome their armors were, she liked Hydra's armor the most because of the dragon heads all over it. Fluttershy and Rarity were admiring the glowing orbs of light floating around Siren. Pinkie Pie was jumping around the three, cheerfully, as if what just happened didn't ever happen. Applejack and Twilight approached DJ and started asking him what was going on, but the black earth pony just stood there.
Twilight asked the red armored pony one more time, but still got no response. After a few attempts Hydra finally spoke up and told the two ponies that DJ was not the conversation type, and to not be offended if he did not say anything to them. They asked the stallion why his friend did not talk. He told them that if DJ did talk, there would be consequences. Twilight tilted her head in confusion, but she just ignored it and forgot about her question.
The three generals patrolled Ponyville in search of any remaining Changelings, as they did they were followed by the main six. They searched for two hours and found no trace of any changelings. After they finished their patrol they were going to join their king at the castle, but they were invited to Twilight's Library for lunch. They humbly accepted the mare's offer and made their way to the library. Once there they enjoyed tea and cookies, the only pony who did not enjoy them was DJ.
"OK first you don't answer me when i ask you a question, now you won't even touch the food that Pinkie Pie worked so hard to make. You are one rude pony." Twilight said, while poking DJ on the metal plate on his chest.
DJ's eye began to glow a scarlet red, as the purple pony poked his chest. The room was shaking as a growling noise came from the red armored pony. Twilight laid down on the floor and covered her head with her hoofs. She was shaking in fear at the one glowing eye of mighty pony standing before her. Hydra placed a hoof on DJ's shoulder attempting to calm down his comrade. DJ came to his senses and backed away from the quivering mare.
Twilight then stood up and hid behind Pinkie Pie. Pinkie Pie did not even notice the events that transpired, because she was to busy stuffing her face with muffins. Hydra slowly approached Twilight to reassure her that she was safe.
"Please forgive my friend, he does not like to be accused of things that are not true." The silver armored stallion stated to Twilight.
"Well he was being quite rude by not eating the food that Pinkie worked so hard to prepare" Rarity said in her snooty voice.
Hydra giggles a little "Believe me he does not mean to be rude... It's just that he can't really eat any kind of food." he said with a dumbfounded tone, while scratching his head.
"Wait a minute." Pinkie said, acting serious for once. "So he can't talk or eat?.. Whats next? He can't party?"
"He is a loyal general of the honorable king of the dead, he has no need for your asinine little parties." Siren said, standing up and staring Pinkie in the face.
The two exchanged looks for a good while, until Pinkie said "I like your spunk, lets be friend lady"
Siren just looked in confusion, as if she was caught off guard by Pinkie. She shook off her confusion then trotted over too Hydra, and she seemed to like standing very close to him.
Rarity looked at the black unicorn and stated that he had lovely jade eyes, almost as if they were the real green stone. He humbly thanked the white mare for her compliment. Siren looked are Rarity with anger and growled at her. Rarity made a squeaking sound before hiding behind Pinkie Pie, with Twilight. Hydra chuckled a little at the golden armored mare's reaction.
"Well as much as we would love to stay." Siren said sarcastically "But we really must me going." She then pulled the two Stallions out the door of the Library and slammed the door behind them.
"OK I'll fly Hydra to the castle, so DJ you will have to go on foot." Siren announced to her comrades.
DJ nodded, and began to rapidly gallop towards Canterlot.Siren then grabbed Hydra from around his waist and took off after DJ. The two ponies were silent for a long while, until they were far enough from DJ so that he could not hear them.
"So, why did you want to fly me to Canterlot? I could have galloped along side him and you would be able to fly much faster with out my wait." Hydra stated, trying to teasing Siren.
Siren looked away from him, then responded "You and I both know that you can not keep up with him even if you tried, This way we can all arrive on time with out having to slow down."
"I guess you are right my dear, besides this is quite the lovely experience for me."
"yes, plus this is a good way for us to be alone." The black Pegasus said, holding Hydra closer to her, and trying to hide her blushing face.
Hydra chuckled then said. "So your a secret romantic huh?"
Siren pretended to drop him, but quickly returned her grip around him. "Don't think that just because you are cute, means that I won't hesitate to drop you on your head... Sweet heart." She said sarcastically
"I shall remember that my dear." Hydra said, with a stupid smile. He knew she wouldn't drop him, but He knew how she was so he was not going to take anymore chances.
They flew for a while before reaching Canterlot, Hydra and Siren landed near the entrance gate of the city and looked around for DJ. Suddenly there was a loud boom that echoed through the city had came from nearby. The two generals galloped towards the noise to see what was going on, but they already knew what it was. As they approached the area where the noise had come from they saw a gaping hole in the wall, that confirmed their fears.
The smoke from the explosion was clearing and a dark figure with a single red light glowing bright on his face could be seen in the center of the rubble. The figure walked forward out of the smoke making his presence know to all those around him. It was the one and only DJ, who had galloped up the side of the mountain and blown a hole in the wall surrounding the city.
Hydra approached his comrade. "(sigh) geez DJ I know you don't like having obstacles in your way, but did you have to blow a hole in the wall?" Hydra asked.
DJ approached Hydra, he said nothing. Ashes shot out of the black earth pony's nostrils as he walked passed his fellow generals of the dead. Hydra put a hoof to his head and just followed DJ to the castle. On their way to the castle all of the ponies in the city avoided them after DJ broke the wall, even the guards were avoiding them. Once they reached the castle they were escorted to the throne room, where they met up with their king.
"Ah you are finally here my loyal companions." Necroses said, with a stupid smile on his face.
The King was standing at the foot steps of the throne, Luna stood right next to him. Celestia was sitting on her throne, with a worried look. The three generals approached their king and bowed to him.
Princess Celestia was looking towards the ground, not even noticing the three had entered the room. She seemed stuck in a daze, as if she were in here own little world.
"There are no longer any Changelings in Ponyville lord Necros" Hydra said to the king.
"Good work my friends. Now i need you to go an exterminate any and all Changelings in Canterlot, Don't leave any..."
ZOOOM! Necroses was interrupted by the sound of DJ dashing out of the palace, to kill to the Changelings.
Necroses chuckles and said "I guess he is excited to get started. How about you two go make sure he doesn't get into to much trouble."
The two generals saluted their king and galloped after DJ. Necroses looked to Luna and Celestia, so that they may continue their discussion.
"So what shall we do King Necroses." Luna asked in a concerned voice.
"Well before we do anything else I need to pay a visit to an old friend." Necroses said while looking out a nearby window. "I believe he still dwells with in the Canterlot sculpture garden, Correct?" He asked with an evil smile.
At that moment Celestia and Luna both knew who he was referring to. The sisters looked to each, with worried looks. They turned their gaze to Necroses, who was pleased to see their worried faces.
"I can tell by your expressions that you know who I speak of." The king said, with an evil expression. "Alright lets go say hello to my old chum... Discord!"
Lune, Celestia, and Necroses walked into the statue garden, in the center stood Discord in his stone form. He looked surprised, his body was curled up in terror, and his eyes were opened wide. Necroses approached the stone draconequus.
"Ah my old friend Discord, I miss you and your disturbed sense of humor." Necroses said, knowing that Discord could not hear him.
Celestia walked up next to the king "I'm sure he misses you as well Necroses." She said, as kindly as possible.
"Yes but I'm sure he misses you more Princess". He said mockingly.
"Oh shut up" Celestia said, trying to hold her tears back as she stared at Discord. "It's your fault he is like this in the first place".
"I believe it was you rejecting him that caused this".
"That might not of happened if you didn't fill his head with lies." Celestia said, her face was filling with anger.
"You know as well as I do that i can't lie." Necroses said, trying to annoy the Princess even further.
"Sister what are thou talking about?" Luna asked, slightly confused. "We Thought Discord was imprisoned because he was an uncontrollable force of nature?"
Necroses laughed at Luna's question "Ahahah... I'm... I'm sorry Luna... but I just can't believe you bought that garbage."
Luna gave The king a disgruntled look, slightly glaring at him.
"Please forgive me Princess I meant no offense" Necroses said, looking at Luna with kind eyes and a smile.
Luna's eyes went wide and her cheeks were rose red "Tis alright Lord Necroses, no harm done". A kind and gentle smile appeared on her face.
Necroses chuckled, "I think it's time you know the truth." He said "Don't you agree Celestia?"
"I suppose I could not hide it from her forever." Celestia said, sounding nervous.
"Sister?"
"Luna you should listen to what he has to say."
Luna nodded her head, and turned her attention to Necroses. The King cleared his throat, so that his words were as clear as day. He stood in front of the statue of Discord and began to speak.
"Luna, a long time ago before you were sent to the moon and Discord was trapped in stone. You, me, Celestia, and Discord were close friends." The king said.
"Discord.. Our friend?" Luna ask, in confusion.
"It is true my dear Princess. Discord was one of your closest friends" Necroses said being very alluring.
The Moon Princess shook her head "Impossible, We would never associate with a monster the likes of him." She said, trying to convince herself. She backed up into her sister who just stood there like a statue.
Necroses approached her. "It is all true Luna, you, Discord and I have been friends since you and Celestia were fillies and I was a small colt."
"If thou speakith the truth then why do we not remember you?" The Princess demanded.
"I believe our dear Sun Princess can answer that."
Luna looked to Celestia. "Sister... What is he talking about?" She ask, somewhat frightened to hear the answer.
Celestia turned her head and looked away from her younger sister. Her head tilted in shame.
"Sister does he speak the truth?" Luna asked, with teary eyes.
Celestia remained silent, still looking away from her sister.
"SISTER!! why does thou not answer us?" The Princess of the Night shouted, tears were running down her face.
"it's true." Celestia said, with a whispered "I did something to make you forget that you ever met Necroses." She said a little louder.
"Sister?"
"I used a spell called the Forget Me Knot" Celestia admitted.
"The Forget Me Knot?"
"To put it simply it is a spell that separates your memories into two halves." Necroses intruded in the conversation.
Luna was shocked at Necroses' answer to her question, then asked him to go into a more detailed explanation. Necroses gladly did as she requested.
"The Forget Me Knot spell, is a high level spell few ponies have ever attempted to perform, and even fewer successes. All subjects who had the spell cast on them have either died or gone absolutely insane. To be honest Luna I think you are the only pony who has ever survived the spell, with their memories intact."
Luna looked to Celestia "Sister, thou used a spell on us, knowing we could of died?"
Celestia looked to her sister, tears formed in her eyes. "I am so sorry Luna, I never meant to put you in any danger. You were just so sad and I had to do something to make you stop crying".
"We do not wish to hear excuses sister". Luna averted her gaze to Necroses "Tell us more of this Forget Me Knot spell".
"Well it's like this Princess, It splits your memories into two halves, the first half are the memories that the caster wants you to remember, the second half are the memories they wish for you to forget. The memory strings that connect the two halves are then tied in one big knot, completely blocking access to the second half."
Luna stared at the mighty king, with a socked expression on her face. She did not know whether she could or could not believe the information she was just given. She then turns to her sister, anger filling her beautiful eyes.
"Sister, we demand that thou release us from this pell at once!!" Luna said to Celestia.
Celestia lowers her head and tells her younger sister "I'm afraid that I can not remove the spell."
"So what thou are saying is that we have half a life that we shall never remember?" The Moon Princess asked.
Necroses intruded in their argument to say "Well actually that is not entirely true".
With confusion covering her face she cautiously asks "What does thou mean Lord Necroses?"
"What I mean is that there is a way that you can remember your past". The King proudly stated.
Luna looked at the king suspiciously and asked "So you can restore our memories?"
"Well I can at the very least loosen the knot". He said, with a kind smile.
She timidly approached the King, with caution. "How does thou propose to do this?" She asked.
"Let me show you." He said, very alluringly.
Necroses lifted his mask enough to uncover his mouth and not show his face. He then looked deep into Luna's beautiful eyes and leaned in, as if to give her a kiss. This made Luna very uncomfortable. She backed up, but he just came closer to her. She kept backing up until she bumped into Discord's statue. Her cheeks lit up a bright red as the King Of The Dead invaded her personal space.
"What does thou thing thee are doing?" Luna asked fearing his intentions.
"Worry not my dear Princess, it will only take a second". He said, trying to comfort her. He then leaned in so closed that their faces were almost touching.
Luna looked to her sister and Called "Sis.." Before being interrupted and passionately kissed by Necroses.
As he kissed her, Luna's pupils dilated and she began to stare blankly into space, her eyes then became relaxed and then closed peacefully. At that moment a tidal wave of memories long since forgotten began to rush into Luna's mind. Memories of her as a filly playing games with Discord, having tea parties with Celestia, and Necroses, so many memories of him filled her brain. Her eyes opened as if awakening from a restful slumber. She opened her eyes to find herself passionately kissing Necroses and their forelegs around the other. She quickly pushed him away and shook her head as if realizing something.
after taking a moment to gather her thoughts Luna said with wide glassy eyes and a huge smile "Necroses our old friend". She then proceeded to hug Necroses, as if he were a big teddy bear. "It has been over a thousand years since we saw thee last. we missed thee so much". She said, increasing her grip on the King.
"I have been alright Luna, I've missed you as well". He said quickly running out of air. "But can you lighten your grip, I can't breath". Luna released Necroses and he gasped for air.
"Please forgive us, we are just so excited to see thee after so long". Luna said, her cheeks slightly red from embarrassment.
Necroses chuckled then responded with "It is alright Luna I understand, It took all I had to keep myself from hugging when I saw you earlier".
Luna blushed even more and giggled at Necroses' statement. She then looked at him with a confused look.
"what is it Luna?" The King asked.
"We can't seem to remember thou wearing a mask before".
"Oh is that all?" He asked with a kind smile.
"And why can we not remember thy face?" Luna asked suspiciously.
"I guess, that is as far as the knot will let you remember". He said, while keeping his cool.
"So you were only able loosen the knot then?"
"I'm sorry Luna"
"Tis alright, but can thou take off thy mask so we may see thy's face?". Luna asked, slowly reaching for Necroses' mask.
The King stepped out of Luna's range and said "I'm sorry Luna but for certain reasons I can not show you my face at this moment in time".
Luna looked at him with a playful pouting face, trying to get the King to reveal his face. Not even Necroses could resist the pull of Luna's cute pouting, as he began to give into her stare an idea popped into his head. "Luna let's see exactly where the spell cuts off". He said with a smirk. "Tell me the very last thing you can remember, before turning into Nightmare Moon".
Luna's eyes widened at his question, like it caught her off guard or something. "Well lets see". She said with her hoof tapping her chin. "The very last thing we can recall is". She stood up in shock at something very important she had forgotten. "Discoed, We forgot all about our dear friend Discord!" She yelled, then turned to Discord's statue. Necroses took a deep breath then exhaled in relief.
Luna was leaning against the statue of Discord, on the verge of crying. " Oh Discord, we are so sorry thou are imprisoned in stone, we had no other choice." She said, a single tear falling from her eye.
Necroses looked at Luna, with concerned eyes. He stood there for a moment, when a hoof punched him in the shoulder. "Hey!" he said, rubbing his shoulder.
"That is for kissing her without my permission." Celestia said shooting him a cold look.
"Still overly protective as always i see... just be glad she doesn't remember everything yet."
"That reminds me, You could have restored her memory completely right there and then... So why didn't you?"
"I have my reasons Celestia." He said with an evil smile.
"And what reasons do you have to not restore her memories?"
"To put it simple... I want to test a theory."
"So you want to use my sister as a test subject?... That is low even for you."
"I assure you that she is not a test subject. Even if it was she is the only one who can confirm my theory."
"Necroses I swear if you are using her in some kind of sick and twisted..."
Luna popped up in front of the two alicorns, tears were running down her face. "Sister is there any way we can release Necroses from his imprisonment?" She said, with the most adorable sad face.
Celestia looked nervously at her sad sister. "I'm sorry Luna but even if we could if we release Discord, he will spread his chaos over all of Equestria." She said, trying to break the news to her sister gently.
"Couldn't we do something to contain his powers?.. Just until we can bring him to his senses." Luna pleaded with her sister, desperately trying to reason with Celestia.
"I suppose we could but Discord would escape before we could place the seal on him... It would take both of us just to release him."
"But you have me hear, being alicorns we have enough Magic to cast the most powerful magic seal and release him." Necroses cut into their argument once again.
Luna looked at The King with glistening eyes, then turned back to Celestia. "Please sister, he is one of our oldest friends." She pleaded once again.
"Luna even if that is true, we would need precise timing to do it without him escaping." The Sun Princess replied, with a sad look.
"how about this Celestia? lets try the plan an if we fail and he escapes, then I will take my soldiers and go back to my realm, never to return." He said, confident he could persuade her.
Celestia looked away for a moment, to think about Necroses' offer, even though her erg to be rid of The King Of The Dead, it was Luna's puppy dog eyes that defeated her."alright we will try it." She said, with defeat on her face. "But you are taking the shot Necroses." She glared at The Black Alicorn.
Necroses smirked at her and said "deal."
The took their positions Necroses standing behind Discord, Luna and Celestia standing side by side in the front. The sun was setting in the distance. Necroses was charging his spell, whispering chants to increase it's strength. The two sisters stared at the statue ready to strike. Once the sun's rays were completely out of sight the princesses fired two bright beams of light at Discord.
Discord's statue didn't seem to be effected by the magical blasts at first, after about a minute cracks could be seen all over the draconequus' body, up his neck, up his torso, and around his ankles. as the cracks became larger Necroses readied himself to fire at just the right moment. When huge shards of stone came flying off of Discord in an explosion, Necroses wasted no time, and fired a bright green magical blast at Discord.
As the blast struck the draconequus, he was tossed forward and was slammed, face first into the wall of the castle. Celestia was shocked that Necroses actually hit Discord, the Sisters galloped to Discord's side to see if he was alright. As the dust from the collision cleared a shadowy figure could be seen through the dust, there was a moment of silence before Discord was completely reviled. the draconequus was rubbing his head, in pain and yelled "Son of a bitch... Did I just get hit by a fucking train?"
Luna jumped with joy and hugged Discord. He looked at her with confusion, he then pushed her away and floated into the air "I don't know why you released me, but now that I'm free I will spread my chaos across all of Equestria." He said, then laughed wickedly. Discord floated in mid-air waiting to vanish in a puff of smoke, but nothing happened. The draconequus looked at claws "What is going on? Why wont my powers work?" He shouted.
"I'm afraid that is my doing Discord, I sealed your powers away until I deemed you worthy of having them back." Necroses confessed to the chaos being.
"Necroses. My old friend, it's good to see you again." Discord said, with an evil smile. "I thought you were banned from ever coming back to Equesria."
"I was, but certain events have allowed me to return so that I may assist The Princesses in a conflict they are having with the changelings."
"I see... Is that why I've been freed from that stone prison?"
"No. It's because Luna missed her friend."
Discord looked at Necroses in confusion, then looked at Luna, who smiled at him. "Luna... Whats the password?" he asked. Luna stared at him for a moment before answering "Bananas!" she exclaimed with cheer
"So you do remember." Discord said, then turned his attention to Necroses "So you used The Kiss Of Death on her, didn't you?"
"Yes but she does not remember everything yet, but she does recall you being her friend. So it's a start." Necroses responded.
"I see" The draconequus said while landing in front of The King. "So how much of my magic did you sealed away?"
"You are able to perform small parlor Tricks but nothing more than that."
"(Sigh) well some is better than none I suppose." Discord said, reluctantly. He then glanced over at Celestia, she stared back at him sheepishly, He glared at her then looked back at Necroses.
"Why don't you go say hi Discord? I know you've missed her." Necroses said, with a caring tone.
"True, but she made it clear a long time ago that she doesn't feel about me the way I feel about her."
"Discord..." Necroses was cut off by the Chaos being.
"No Necroses... Whats done is done, Just tell me what you need me to do." He said in an emotionless tone.
"For now just go wait in your room" Necroses said then looked to Luna "Luna would you be so kind as to showing Discord to his room."
Luna smiled then grabbed discord by his lion arm and pulled him to the door of the castle. As the two walked into the palace Celestia stood by silently and watch Discord and Luna walk by. Once they were gone She started to cry softly. Necroses walked up next to Celestia and gently patted her on the back "Worry not Celestia we will bring Discord to his senses just wait."
Celestia wiped the tears from her eyes and smiled at The King slightly. "Thanks dead head."
"So your using my old nickname again, guess that means you forgive me."
Celestia raised an eyebrow and said "Not even close."
"Ha ha I knew it wouldn't be that easy"
"Ha ha you got that right."
The two shared a short laugh before hearing an explosion coming from around the Center of town. Necroses face hoofed himself then said "Oh DJ what will I do with you."
