The Two Sisters

Sunny gasped and sat up, the last thing she remembered, she was being choked by a demonic being before being-

"Ow! Grrrrr!" She growled, rubbing her head.

"If you're going to be my host, you shall obey me like the good mare you are Sunny."

The voice spoke in her mind, sounding more like an echo in the distance. Looking around, Sunny noticed she was in a wet and cold forest.

"Where am I, what did you do to me??" She asked, standing up and looking at her legs. The earth pony's legs were a darker shade of apricot, with red pulsing patterns swirling up towards her chest. Her chest, she noticed was covered by a heavy piece of metal armor, marked with a burning star.

"I made you better. And the more you resist your anger and rage, the more painful our relationship will be."

Sunny began running in a random direction, jumping over rocks and fallen trees.

"Get out of my head!!" She yelled.

"Oh my little pony, I am not in your head. I am you. We are one."

Sunny let out an evil laugh as she stopped and stared down into a puddle. The reflection she saw made her want to scream in terror but instead she smiled wickedly. Her eyes were black serpentine slits, surrounded by complete red. Fangs hung from the front of her muzzle as her mane billowed, seemingly on fire yet, it didn't feel hot. Flames lept up around and along her body. She looked bigger, and meaner. She felt... stronger, and more athletic somehow. And, deep inside, she felt it. The burning rage, hatred for what the world had done to her father. How it had buried him from stress and harassment because of his work.

"Yesssss... gooood. Let your anger control you, feel it flow through your veins my host. Use it. Hurt the ones who took your father from YOU."

Sunny fought for control over her mind but was beaten down by hatred and sorrow. The world had taken her dad away from her, and now she would make them burn for what they did.

"I'll kill them.. kill them all!!" She yelled, slamming her hooves into the ground. Flapping her flaming wings, Nightmare Starkiller took the early morning sky and made way for Maretime Bay.

~~~~~~~

Sunny blinked and looked around. She was standing in all blackness. A literal void of nothing. Bringing a hoof to her face she noticed it was normal looking. Normal? But then where the hell was she?

"Hello????" She called out, her voice echoing off in the distance.

"Hello Sunny," said a voice behind her. Turning around, she saw that it was the demon pony.

"Where am I?" She asked. The figure smiled.

"Your consciousness. I've taken over your motor functions and mind. The good part of you, this part," the mare pointed a hoof at Sunny. "Is locked away in your mind."

The earth pony sat down and looked at the evil entity. It was obvious she wouldn't get anywhere by threatening it. So she tried a more unorthodox approach.

"So, why do you do this?" Sunny asked in a completely normal way. The shadow pony eyed her.

"To survive of course. I cannot survive without a host."

"So... you're like a parasite?" The pony of shadows snorted at this.

"I'm more than a parasite you whimpering welp. I am evil itself, darkness in the purest form. I care for no one and hate everyone."

"But why?"

The figure looked in surprise at Sunny.

"Why do you hate everyone?"

She had never been asked that before. The question caught her off guard and for the first time, her bad mare facade dropped for a minute.

"I-i uh.. well.. I don't know. I just do." She said.

"But no creature is born evil. Something made you this way. I can feel it." Sunny said, reaching out a hoof and placing it on the figures shoulder. Shaking her hoof off, the creature moved away looking at her scowling.

"You don't know anything about my past pitiful pony!"

"Well I know enough to figure out somepony hurt you. Long ago. Maybe turned you into a creature of darkness?"

The pony of shadows stood there scowling at her for a moment before turning and vanishing into thin air.

~~~~~~~

"She's no where in town," said Hitch, "I have everypony looking. It's not like her to just take off without leaving a note or telling someone." The sheriff turned to Zipp. "Are you sure you didn't see or hear anything last night?" Zipp shook her head.

"I was dead asleep, nothing could've woken me up."

Hitch folded his ears down, he was worried sick about her. He loved Sunny and didn't want anything to happen to her.

"Hey guys, come check this out!" Izzy called from outside. Zipp and Hitch ran outside and looked at what Izzy was pointing at.

"What the hell is that?" Zipp asked. Hitch squinted his eyes.

"Sunny???"

A flaming ball of fire was streaking through the sky at a high speed, heading straight for Maretime Bay.

~~~~~~

(Cue music, "Book of Heavy Metal" by Dream Evil)

Nightmare Starkiller slammed into the ground at the town square, panting as she glared at the ponies staring at her in confusion and fear. Growling, she lit her horn and began firing bursts of magic at random buildings, causing dust and debris to go flying. Ponies screamed and ran away, attempting to find cover as she began her march through town.

"YOU KILLED MY DAD!!"

A burst of magic later and a nearby storefront was completely blown away, a couple ponies falling out into the street, scampering away toward an alley. Nightmare laughed and began firing randomly at fleeing ponies. Destroying windows, corners of buildings, and sending sparks from downed powerlines arching into the air.

"AND NOW ILL KILL YOU!"

Ponies screamed as bright orange laser beams flew this way and that, all the while Nightmare Starkiller continuing her March through the streets.

Luna poofed into the remains of the town square, biting her lip, folding her ears down, and looking at the rampaging Sunny.

"Oh no... no no no no no no," she said softly.

Winter appeared next to her.

"Honey?? What the fuck's happening?" The princess pointed a hoof.

"Sunny's been taken over by the same evil entity that consumed me and made me Nightmare Moon!"

"What!? How's that even possible?? I thought you said she banished it?" Winter asked.

"She did," Luna said, going over to a hurt pony and helping them up. "But the pony of shadows must have found a way to return to our world, and infected her. We need to find the elements!"

~~~~~~~

Nightmare charged her horn, glaring at the factory standing on the hill overlooking town.

"YOU HARRASSED HIM INTO A HEART ATTACK YOU BITCH!!"

Debris and stones began to tremble on the ground and float into the air as Starkiller snarled, driven by rage and sorrow. From around the corner of a building, Izzy, Hitch, Zipp, and Pipp appeared.

"Sunny wai-" Hitch tried to yell but he was cut off by a huge brilliant stream of orange magical energy shooting through the air. Swirls of electricity crackled around the beam. Watching in horror, Hitch saw the beam disappear, and for a second it looked as if she missed. But one second later a blinding flash cut through the sky as the factory exploded from the inside out.

Nightmare Starkiller screamed at the explosion. She only felt hatred for the ones who took her father from her. The one pony who loved her and took care of her after her mom had died when she was a newborn.

"BURN!!"

Izzy, Zipp, Pipp, and Hitch reeled backwards from the heat and looked at the enraged Sunny.

"Hitch.. was there anyone in the factory.." Zipp asked softly.

"No.. thankfully. Its Sunday. The building is empty." The sheriff said, getting up and taking a step toward Sunny.

"Sunny?" He said.

Nightmare turned and snarled at him, lighting her horn.

"Do you want to die!?" She yelled at Hitch, panting softly as occasionally bolts of electricity crackled across her body.

"No..." the sheriff said quietly, stepping forward some more. "But Sunny.. this isn't you. Whatever happened to you.... this is not you, the Sunny I know would never hurt her friends or destroy her hometown."

Nightmare growled, "There is NO Sunny anymore! Only Nightmare Starkiller, and I will conquer this land, and create a glorious empire of my own. Ponies and creatures shall do my bidding or DIE!!"

"Sunny," Hitch said, taking a step towards the enraged mare. "Losing your dad was hard. I know because you came to my house after the funeral and spent 7 hours crying into my chest on the couch."

Nightmare Starkiller continue glaring at Hitch.

"Is this what your dad would have wanted... is it? To hurt and destroy?"

The glowing mare shook her head, looking away for a moment before looking back.

"Hitch! Please! Help me! She has me trapped in my consciousness. I'm trying to fight her but she's really strong-"

Sunny hit herself across the face with a hoof.

"Quiet you! There's no escaping this deathgrip!"

Hitch watched Sunny as Izzy, Zipp, and Pipp continued to watch the scene before them unfold.

~~~~~~~

"Come on. Come on Discord!!" Luna yelled, watching Sunny talk to Hitch from down the street. Discord was busy rummaging through a chest in his house, a two way portal hovering in the town square.

"I'm looking as fast I can!" Discord said back, tossing various things over his shoulder. "They're not here!"

~~~~~~

"YOU" Sunny snarled, now glaring at Phyllis Cloverleaf who had come running around the corner heading towards the factory. "YOU MOCKED HIM AND RIDICULED HIM!!" Charging her horn, Nightmare fired several magical bursts at Phyllis. The blonde mare covered her head and ducked preparing for the hits, but they never came. Looking up, she stared in awe at the magical yellow forcefield pulsing in front of her.

"SUNNY STARSCOUT! THAT IS ENOUGH!!"

Everyone turned toward the voice including Nightmare Starkiller. Standing in front of the ruins of Canterlogic was a tall slender white alicorn. Her billowing mane ruffled in the wind as she trotted forward slowly. The alicorn was decked out in full body golden armor, a bright yellow sun emblem sketched into the chest piece and helmet.

"Oh my stars..." Hitch whispered softly.

From down the street, Luna covered her mouth as tears formed in her eyes.

"SISTER!!!!"

Princess Celestia glanced down the road at her younger sister, giving her a small nod before closing the face plate on her helmet. A different voice now came out of Sunny, a deeper and darker one.

"YOU!!!! YOU'RE THE BITCH WHO SEPARATED ME FROM LUNA!!" Nightmare took a battle stance and fired a large pulse of magic. Celestia didn't even flinch and procured a scythe from behind her. Slicing the magical beam in two as it exploded behind her.

"Nightmare, a pleasure to see you again," said Celestia calmly, "I see you still haven't let go of your anger. I told you one day it would destroy you for good. And now it will."

Behind Celestia from the ruins emerged 6 figures who were also completely decked out in battle armor. Though their bodies were completely covered, their chest plates bore 6 different symbols. An apple, a balloon, a butterfly, a rainbow lighting bolt, a diamond, and a purple six pointed star.

"I've brought a little backup with me."

The pony wearing the armor with the six pointed star was noticeably taller than the other five. And as her face plate retracted, Izzy and the others saw why. Princess Twilight Sparkle, ruler of Equestria and Princess of Friendship, was smiling down at Hitch and the others.

"Need some backup sheriff?" She asked.

Hitch smiled, and began laughing in relief.

"Absolutely," he said, resting on the ground.

Nightmare looked at the 7 ponies standing before her and scowled.

"NO!! IT CAN'T BE! YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO BE DEAD!"

Celestia looked to Twilight and the others and nodded once. Standing together, Twilight and her friends shoved their chests out as the elements embedded in their armor began glowing.

"NO!!! NO NO NO NO!!" Sunny yelled, charging her horn and firing at the mane 6. However it was deflected by the bright rainbow colored beam of magic that shot out at her. Nightmare screamed and writhed on the ground as a bright flash of light lit up the sky and a magnificent explosion of rainbows showered across the town.

Hitch watched in awe as Sunny's body began returning to normal as an inky black smoke billowed out of her, being caught in the rainbow laser.

"NOOOOOOOO!!!!" The smoke screamed, disappearing into nothingness.

A few seconds later and the rainbow had disappeared, leaving only Sunny laying on the street. Hitch ran up to her side and fell to his rump, picking up Sunny and holding her close to him.

"Oh Sunny... I thought you were a goner." He whispered. The earth pony coughed and looked up at him smiling.

"Itll take more than a demonic spirit to take me down Hitch," She said weakly, chuckling and rubbing her head as the chuckles turned to "ows"

"Dang.. I feel like I just got hit by a train. My heads throbbing."

Hitch smiled and gently rubbed her mane.

"Then let's get you somewhere quiet," he said, helping her up onto her hooves.

"Wait, I want to see who saved me," said Sunny. The earth pony turned and looked up at the 7 ponies now trotting towards her. Applejack, Rarity, Pinkie Pie, Fluttershy, and Rainbow Dash had all removed their helmets and were smiling as they looked down at Sunny.

"Oh my gosh" was all the Queen was able to say before her eyes rolled into the back of her head and she passed out in Hitch's arms.

"Whoops," said Fluttershy, "we're terribly sorry. We didn't mean to make her faint."

"Its alright, you 6 are just... really big idols to her."
