Author's Note

Now some of the lines are actually from the transcript itself from the Friendship Games, just to prove I am not stealing them. About what Principal Cinch did to Twilight, let's say your minds will be blown away after reading this chapter (if it did happened).

Dark Fate Part 2

You slowly opened your eyes for another day only to find out something isn’t right. Which doesn’t look like your bedroom but you are outside and the sky is very cloudy and you are in your Crystal Prep uniform.

“Principal Celestia, on behalf of Crystal Prep, I demand that you forfeit the Friendship Games!”

You recognize that voice and you see Principal Cinch who confronted Dean Cadence, Principal Celestia and Vice-Principal Luna. You also see Twilight and her friends are also there which all of them and you are at Canterlot High. Instead of guessing that this is all a dream and they didn’t even know you are here, you quickly hid behind the stand to where the Wondercolt’s statue was and eavesdrop on the conversation.

“Actually, we're all to blame. Mostly it was her.”

After what Sour Sweet said you now know that she and her friends are sorry for what they did. You then hear voices inside your head tempting you to do what is right. Forgiving Sour Sweet and the others and properly apologizing to them will follow later, for now your eyes are on one person who started it all as you slowly got out of your hiding place and they didn’t notice your presence yet.

“Obviously, my students have been infected with your magic. But I plan on taking all of this up with the school board!” Principal Cinch said in anger.

“Good. I'm sure they would be very interested in hearing all about the magical students with wings.” Principal Celestia said.

“Oh, and the portals to different dimensions.” Vice-Principal Luna added.

“And don't forget to tell them about the talking dog.” Dean Cadence said as she giggles.

“Because that would never ruin your reputation.” Spike added.

“WHICH IS THE DUMBEST THING YOU EVER SAID!”

The last one who spoke had a bigger reaction not just to Principal Cinch but also to Twilight, Dean Cadence and the other students of Crystal Prep for they knew who that voice belongs to.

“Night Star?!”

They follow Twilight's voice and see standing next to where the Wondercolt’s statue was, is you. Everyone from Canterlot High wonder who that is while the ones from Crystal Prep questions why you’re here since you aren’t feeling well.

“Mr. Star, what are you doing here?” Principal Cinch asked as you approach her with your fists clenched up. “Don’t tell me you pretended to be sick-”

Before Principal Cinch could finish out of nowhere, filled with rage you gave her a hard to slap to the face as you returned it with another making her fall to her knees.

“Night Star?” Twilight just stood there horrified and still processing after things escalated so quick as you picked up Cinch by grabbing her top as you begin choking her. “Night Star stop!”

Twilight quickly put Spike down as she tries to pull you away separating you from Principal Cinch. Dean Cadence and the others helped and it took a little while to stop you from your assault leaving Principal Cinch coughing. You easily shook off from Twilight and the others grasp and tackled into Principal Cinch resuming with choking her.

“Night Star that’s enough!” Sunny Flare said with her friends successfully separating you from Cinch again. This time making sure that Twilight and the others keep their grip on you this time while Cadence checks on your principal.

“How...dare you...attack...your own principal!” Principal Cinch said between her coughing.

“Principal my ass!” You said after shaking yourself from Twilight and the others grip on you. “I know everything that happened here. The Equestrian magic, Twilight becoming Midnight Sparkle, all of this wouldn’t have happened if you didn’t pressure my friend over here on using the magic she gathered in that stupid pendant just to win the games. And this wouldn’t started if you didn’t threaten Twilight to cancel her application to Everton if she didn’t participate!”

“Principal Cinch is that true, that you will deny her application if Twilight didn’t join?!” Cadence who couldn’t believe how you knew all of this asked Principal Cinch who did not respond. She now knew as she turns her attention back to you. “Listen whatever just happened, I-I will take care of this. I don’t even know how or when she did that.”

“I know.” Twilight said getting Cadence’s attention. “It happened when s-she told you and Shining Armor to get the contact sheets for the Everton independent study program.”

“Of course, she made them do that.” You said angrily. “It’s obviously a diversion, a distraction for Cadence and Shining Armor to get the files so she can be able to...GET AWAY!”

You see Principal Cinch trying to sneak away as you felt something heavy attached to your pants which is actually your wrench. This gave you the opportunity as you took it and threw it as hard as you can successfully hitting Cinch at the back of her leg making her fall to the ground in pain.

“Night Star!” Dean Cadence grabs a hold of your left arm but you pushed her aside. This led her to remove the glove you wore revealing your prosthetic arm as you continue to approach Cinch. “Somebody, stop him!”

Due to how angry you are, Twilight cries for you to stop prove useless. Then two students try to stop you who happen to be Onyx Steel and Neon Lights. Their attempt also fails after you push Neon, you dislocated Onyx’s arm and you landed your fist directly at the shades Neon is actually wearing right now as he fell to the ground as you know why he’s in pain. A third one tried to stop you which was Ardee, this time he managed to pin you to the ground trying to talk this out with you since his sibling is a lawyer and will take care on what Principal Cinch did. But his reasoning proved also useless since you don’t want anyone getting in your way and had to use a debris from the statue as you slammed it at Ardee’s head. This gave you the opportunity to kick him out of the way as he became unconscious.

“Ardee!” Rarity rushed over to her friend’s side as you got back to your feet.

Principal Cinch tries to crawl away after you hit her at the leg. After you retrieve your wrench then made your approach to your principal.

“Night Star!” Twilight got in front blocking your path and you see she’s crying. “Please stop. Principal Cinch had enough, she already lost.”

“After saying that she will deny your application to Everton and what she did to you, I don’t think so.” You approach your friend who is still blocking your path. “There will be no one to save her. Now get out of my way Twilight because its either you're with me or against me.”

“Look, Everton doesn’t matter anymore.” She responds between her sniffs. “What matters is what will happen to you. Not only you attacked Principal Cinch but also Cadence and others who shouldn’t be involved because of me. Please Night Star, stop while it isn’t too late.”

You felt that you failed Twilight after saying that her application to Everton doesn’t matter anymore. She even returned your kindness to her. You then hear the whispers from earlier, it sounded familiar but demonic.

“Twilight.” You said placing your hand on her shoulder. “I decide my fate, not you.”

You pushed your friend out of the way. The tension rose as you throw your wrench and as the distance closes before hitting your principal...

“Night Star!”

Hearing Twilight calling out your name, immediately opened your eyes and you got up breathing heavily. You looked around to see you are back in your room and it’s 3 am in the morning. You couldn’t believe what you dreamt was very horrible and you did hear whispers in your dream which sounds like Twilight but more on the evil side. You thought that it couldn’t be Midnight Sparkle since it's just a bad dream as you went back to bed.

****************************************************************************

The next day after having that horrible dream you are busy working with your AMP until you got a message from Twilight to meet her at the park. Without question you got dressed and hop on your atv.

Few minutes of driving and you arrived at the park. You search for Twilight and it didn't take long you found her at a bench near the pond looking all gloomy and bothered by something that Sunset and Dusk Eyes were also there with her.

“Twilight?” You said softly after approaching both of them.

“Hey.” Twilight scooched over offering you to sit with her.

“So, you said you want to talk about something?”

“Y-yes, it’s about a dream I had yesterday. It’s actually a nightmare.”

“Midnight Sparkle, again?”

“Yeah, same thing.” Sunset said while comforting her friend. “But this one isn’t about Midnight Sparkle only.”

“What do mean?” You asked that there is more to that.

“Midnight Sparkle wasn’t the only one, you showed up in Twilight dream. But it’s worse.”

You are all ears after hearing what Sunset said. Your friend becoming Midnight Sparkle was bad, but you showing up was worse? Twilight starts to narrate the bad dream she had.

It was night time and Twilight was walking down the street as she sees a newspaper laying underneath a street light. She was about to past it but instead she picks it up and sees the cover of a woman who was attacked by a suspect whose identity is still unknown. The description says the name of the victim to be former Principal Cinch of Crystal Prep.

“Who would do such a thing?” Twilight couldn’t believe that something like this happened to her and begins to wonder who will do such a thing.

Before she could even guess, something went a blaze from a distance as Twilight drops the newspaper and ran towards the light. The closer she got the more horrified she became to realize it was her formal school, Crystal Prep Academy, now engulf in flames. She begins to panic because she doesn't have her phone nor a nearby phonebooth or someone to call the fire department. What also caught her eyes was someone standing facing the school laughing being the cause of this. She easily recognized the left arm to be prosthetic which only means one person.

“Night Star!” Twilight called out to you.

You face her, you are wearing your steampunk goggles with a gas mask. Twilight asked if you are the one that caused this which you did not respond. Then you begin to raise both of your hands and then leaned over while lowering both hands as the fire behind you grew bigger and became aqua blue with an inferno created around you two. You continue to laugh demonically as aqua blue fire appeared around your goggles.

“And to think that there is no one as terrifying as I am, guess I was wrong.”

Another voice came which Twilight easily recognize and fears. She turned around and behind her is her worst nightmare, Midnight Sparkle.

“No-no not you again.” Twilight’s fear increases now she has to deal with her alter ego and you.

“YES. You will still fear that I will return and you will become me. Also...”

Midnight pointed back to you which Twilight follows which you are still continuing to burn down Crystal Prep with a flamethrower. Before Twilight could say a word, Midnight quickly came from behind covering her mouth with one hand and wrapped her other arm around Twilight immobilizing her.

“Even though you can control yourself so you won’t become me, but your friend will become like me only stronger, ruthless and more violent. His hatred, anger, his taste for vengeance and how he can bore a grudge is his strongest traits. Once he overpressures himself with stress, his mind will shut down leaving him vulnerable let’s say for something that one of your friends have that will be a threat to you and the others. Night Star.”

You turned around after you hear Midnight’s voice as you dropped your flamethrower. You approached both of them while leaving footprints made of fire behind. Twilight tries to struggle to break free but feel helpless that Midnight Sparkle was stronger.

“Night Star, don’t.” Twilight said in her thoughts for her mouth was covered. Once standing in front of them attached to your belt which is actually a bandoleer, you pulled out a flare gun and pointed directly at Twilight. After a pull of the trigger...

“NOOOOOOOO!”

“And you are afraid that I might do that because of what happened before?” You asked getting a slow nod from her. “I...also had a dream too.”

You then narrated the dream you have. You also mention parts when you heard someone whispering inside your head. It sounded like Twilight but it doesn’t sound right. Her voice sounds...evil which you quickly guessed.

“It doesn’t make sense, it couldn’t be Midnight Sparkle because she is an alter ego to Twilight. How in the world did I end up hearing her voice inside my head.”

“Hmmm, it is normal for Twilight to have bad dreams and yes because Midnight Sparkle is her alter ego.” Dusk Eyes states his opinion. “In your case, it could be that you sometimes recall what happened in the past mostly whenever you are stressed on something-”

“Wait.” You stopped Dusk Eyes for a moment. “Whatever happened before I am not thinking about it anymore and recently I don’t feel stressed.”

“I agree with Dusk,” Sunset said. “Yours is just a bad dream if you don’t think about it. For Twilight,” Sunset placed her hand on Twilight’s. “It will take time for her to forgive herself, also we are here for her as her friends.”

“Thanks,” Twilight pulls Sunset for a hug as you and Dusk watch. “I guess I just needed to vent this out.”

“It’s normal for that to happen. If you need someone to talk to, just call one of us.” Sunset said while closing her right hand and positioned near her ear with her pinkie and thumb pointing out.

The four of you stayed there for a while. Then it's time for you guys to leave as Sunset got on Dusk’s motorcycle and Twilight got on your ATV.

****************************************************************************

What you didn't realize is during that night while you are sleeping, the actual cause for your bad dream is when a shadow appeared inside your room as it gazes upon you.

"This one is strong and has a harsh past, both mind and body. He can be the perfect host but wants to forget his past and move on, I'll take care of that." The fiend then has part of it entered you through your mouth. "If I can't take control of Dusk Eyes to get to Sunset, then I will come back for you. For now, I've left you a present that you will regret...soon."

After the shadow left, you immediately woke up after having a bad dream. You then checked your clock that its 3 am in the morning and you went back to sleep without even knowing the danger that is inside you.
