The Two Sisters
Dark Forces
Previous ChapterNext ChapterCelestia and Luna sat back in their chairs. Around the table, the mane 5 and the mane 6 (minus Pinkie Pie) were all still staring in shock at Celestia and Luna. Even Discord, who had appeared the moment he felt the surge of magical energy during their transformation, was in shock.
"Celestia, you never TOLD me you were descended from Gods! Oh how this changes things!" Said Discord, morphing another Discord out of his body. Both Discords wrapped an arm around Luna and Celestia. "Why with all the knowledge and things we can talk about, I'll need two of me!"
Winter growled and slapped Discords arm off of Luna lighting his horn.
"Claws off my wife you clutzy shape-shifting jerk off!"
Discord frowned, "you dare speak to Lord of Chaos in such a manner??" He said in a sinister voice. Winter, unfettered, unfolded his wings and spoke in a deep demonic voice.
"You know not the powers at play you challenge thou ungrateful welp!"
Luna got up and frowned at two of them.
"Boys!"
Discord scoffed and rose higher into the air, his eyes literally catching fire.
"You think you can take me? Just try you selfish, pathetic excuse of a pony."
Winter snarled as his eyes began to glow red.
"Take that back you mismatched, ugly ass, two horned freak!"
"Boys!!!" Luna shouted.
"I shall take nothing back!!" Yelled Discord.
"Bring it!!" Shouted Winter, lunging at Discord. The draconequus powered up his magic, but before either of them could do anything, another voice screamed from across the table.
"BOYS!! THAT IS QUITE ENOUGH!!!"
Winter and Discord froze, and looked toward the voice, as did everypony else. Fluttershy was standing on the table glaring angrily at Winter and Discord. However it wasn't any ordinary stare, it was THE stare. Discord and Winter looked away.
"Discord! You need to calm yourself down before I come over there and make you calm down Mr!"
The draconequus shriveled up into a worm and landed on the table. Winter however was grabbed by Luna's magic and pulled aside to a corner of the room. Everyone else was silent.
"Winter, I understand you love me and want to protect me. But Discord is not a threat honey. Trust me, if he had tried to touch me wrong in anyway, I would have wiped the floor with his chaotic ass."
Winter panted softly and breathed deeply, his eyes returning to normal as he looked away from his wife.
"I.. I am sorry LuLu. Being part demon.. it is hard for me not to be protective of my mate. Especially against other males.."
Luna reached out a white hoof and gently turned his head back to look at her.
"And that is one of the things I admire most about you my love. Your loyalty and sense of duty to us, our marriage, and our relationship. There are so many amazing things about you Winter. Sure you are very protective, and quick to anger. But never once have you turned that anger towards me. I understand what you went through being raised by Satan. All the things he tried to teach you, I'm sure he wasn't the best father. But your mother is what gave you your good side. A simple pegasus from Cloudsdale. You are nothing like your father." The princess said, smiling at the white alicorn.
Winter bit back tears but some ran down his cheeks anyway.
"When I found you, you taught me to be the best pony/demon I could be. Your beauty, kindness, loyalty, and caring nature is what made me fall in love with you sweetheart." Winter said, hugging Luna tightly. The princess hugged him back tightly and buried her muzzle in his mane.
Fluttershy grabbed Discord by the ear and pulled him over to where she was sitting.
"Now look here mister, what did I tell you about letting ponies get to you?"
The draconequus tapped his index fingers together and gave Fluttershy a guilty look.
"You said.. to be the better pony and kill them with kindness. Not feed their anger." Fluttershy nodded.
"That's right, I worked so hard to help you be the amazing and gentle Lord of Chaos you are now. And while I know Winter can be protective sometimes over Luna. Maybe it's best that you talk to them about what makes him and Luna more comfortable when it comes to physical contact. Its in his nature to be competitive and protective. So it isn't entirely his fault."
Discord sighed and folded his ears back.
"I suppose you are right Flutters," the draconequus said. Fluttershy wrapped her arms around him and gave him a kiss on the nose.
"There's the Discord I know and love." She said, smiling.
Celestia, who had been watching this entire event unfold, smiled. Hitch, Izzy, Pipp, and Zipp, who had all taken cover under the table, peeked out.
"So.. they're not gonna fight?" Asked Pipp.
Twilight shook her head.
"Oh no, I knew Fluttershy would step in if Luna couldn't get through to Winter. She has a way with Discord no other pony or creature has. He really only listens to her."
Discord looked over at Hitch and the others, and waved a paw. Hitch looked up at Twilight.
"Phew... that's a relief. I don't know if Maretime Bay can handle another large scale fight. We were lucky nopony was seriously hurt or killed in Nightmare Starkillers rampage."
Celestia stood and put a large hoof on the table.
"Which is why we must bring back the other kingdoms and reunite our world. Equestria stands strong united as one with every creature. And while our magic may not be enough, the amulet used to rid the world of evil can return them. However it comes with a price." The sun princess lit her horn and projected a holographic video of what would happen when the amulet was used. "All evil, taken away when we were sent to Limbo, will return to Equestria."
Everyone gasped and Rarity, who had fully recovered from her faint, simply laughed incredulously.
"Ahahahaha, DARLINGGG... surely you're JOKING when you say all the evil creatures that made Equestria a living nightmare will return."
Celestia gave Rarity a serious look. The white unicorn, who had been filing her hooves, looked up at Celestia, the smile vanishing from her muzzle. "You aren't kidding are you?"
The princess shook her head.
"I'm afraid I'm not Rarity."
"Well then we'll just have to face it together," said a voice from the corner of the room. Everyone turned to look as Spike walked into the conference room.
"Sorry everycreature, did I miss anything?"
Rarity squealed like a foal and jumped up to hug the dragon.
"Spikey Wikey! Where have you been? You didn't get trapped in Limbo with us!" The unicorn said, hugging Spike. The purple dragon chuckled and hugged Rarity back.
"I've been around. I was in Ponyville when Sunny and her friends went exploring. So, I decided to wait until the right time to make my presence known."
Twilight stood up and smiled, trotting over to Spike and hugging him tightly.
"I missed you so so much my old friend," said Twilight, tears forming in her eyes.
"As I missed you Twilight, it's been a hard several hundred years. I'd only hoped someday somepony would figure out the true meaning of friendship and reunite the magical gems you gave to each race."
Princess Twilight looked up at Spike and smiled.
"And it seems that it worked. I know it was risky leaving all of Equestria's magic in those three gems. But the magic of friendship will always prevail over darkness."
"BOY you wouldn't believe how much Sunny can TALK when she's frantic. Almost like you Twilight!!" Said a high squeaky voice behind Spike.
The dragon moved aside to let Pinkie Pie enter the room, followed shortly by Sunny.
"Sunny!" Hitch shouted, running over to her and wrapping his hooves around her in a big hug. "I'm so glad you're okay."
The apricot earth pony hugged the sheriff back, but she wasn't smiling.
"Its great to be back to myself Hitch, I didn't know what to think when the darkness took me. I was so scared I'd end up hurting you or worse." Sunny said, sniffling.
Hitch pulled back and placed a hoof on her cheek.
"And you didn't. That Nightmare version of you, wasn't you Sunny. I know the real you."
Rainbow Dash from the other side of the room fake vomited.
"Blehhh..."
Applejack, Fluttershy, Rarity, Pinkie, Rainbow, and Twilight all gathered around Spike in a group hug. They were happy he was back.
"Ahhhh, the gangs all together again. How Wonderful," said Discord, also joining in the hug.
Sunny looked towards Celestia and Luna, bowing her head.
"I'm sorry I let myself be taken by the darkness. I'm the Elemental Queen, it shouldn't have happened it-"
"Could have happened to anyone," said Celestia, changing back to her pony form and flying over to the earth pony. The white alicorn laid a wing across her back as she landed.
"What matters is not the past, but the present. And what the future holds. And from where I'm standing, I see we have everything we need to start building Equestria once more." Said Celestia, pointing to all the ponies and creatures gathered around the table.
"But.." said Sunny, "how do we rebuild? Where do we go from here?"
Princess Celestia smiled.
"We rebuild using the magic of friendship"
