My little pony magic adventures
The return of the cristal empire
Previous ChapterNext ChapterNow that equestria magic was stabilized, earth ponies gained 5 new powers, control plants, speak with animals, super strength, super speed and super jump, now there was only one thing left, learn to use the new powers.
Tecno was working on new inventions, she was very focused, and had two friends helping her, Sweet Love and Sky Cut, also called Sweet and Sky, Sweet was a pink unicorn with purple manes and orange eyes, she had cutie marks on heart-shaped, and she was super shy, while Sky was purple with a blonde mane, and with some dark purple streaks, her eyes were also orange, her cutie mark was a cloud cracked in the middle, Tecno had a cell phone cutie mark, and she always glowed when she was working on something she liked, she was working on prosthetic wings and unicorn horn prostheses for handicapped ponies that couldn't fly because they had defective wings, or unicorns that had broken or defective horns, so they could go back to doing their respective spells.
"This is going to be amazing! The wings are working perfectly, but the horns are not… what do I need?
Sky and Sweet look at her, Tecno starts looking around and digging through the drawers, until she finds a book with a map of the ancient equestia.
— Oh? What is it? — Sky and Sweet come close.
“This is ancient equestria…
'What is this place here?' He points with his hoof.
— Ah, this is the crystal kingdom, a kingdom far away from equestria and which was ruled by an alicorn princess named Cadence, and had a very powerful crystal called crystal heart, he who kept the crystal kingdom alive… AH! THAT'S IT! CRYSTALS!
- Which? Sweet looked scared.
"We're going to the ancient crystal kingdom!"
- Because?
"Because the crystals there must have magical properties!" The crystal heart must be restored! If I use crystals on the horn prostheses they will work! I'm sure about that…
"Fine, then let's go!" - Sky says looping in the air all excited.
"B-but isn't it dangerous?" – Sweet asks stuttering.
'If it's dangerous… it'll be even better!' Haha!
The two brothers look at each other, and go to organize their things to go to the crystal kingdom, they take the most important things, and walk away following Tecna.
The trip lasts 7 days, but they finally reach the crystal kingdom, where they enter and realize that there were still ponies that lived together, unicorns, pegasus and terrestrial ponies that had shiny hair like crystal, Tecno looks on in delight.
— Wow! Are there still ponies here? I thought this place was abandoned!
She takes out her cell phone and sends a message to Sunny saying that the crystal kingdom is still alive even after years, Sunny replied with surprised faces, the crystal ponies look at the techno surprised by the object in her hand.
- What is it? The ponies look up inquiringly.
"Is it a… cell phone?" It is used to talk to distant people… and to watch videos…
— What are videos?
"Gee, were you in a cave all this time?" - Sky says looking at the crystal ponies.
- That's right! A cave! How did you guess?
— Wait what? How about a cave?
“We are miners! We mine magic crystals for our queen.
— IS CADENCE ALIVE? - Techno shouted
“Who is Cadence? Our queen is the Dark Mare!
"Is… shadow mare?"
- That's right!
"Oh… and what does she do with the crystals?"
"We don't know, but they have magical properties, so I think they're used to protect our kingdom!"
— Oh… and… can we see your queen?
— Ahm… she doesn't like visitors very much… but that's okay! Come!
The pony trots happily towards the crystal palace.
"Wait… where's the crystal heart?" He was fine here...
"What crystal heart?"
“Ah… a crystal heart that stood here and protected the realm…
"You're crazy, there's never been a crystal heart here...
Tecno stared, she stopped and turned to her friends whispering.
“Something's wrong… they don't remember who Cadence is and they don't remember the crystal heart… there's something really wrong going on… we have to warn Sunny and…
— We can't wait for Sunny! We have to take action and do it ourselves!
"B-but it's dangerous...
"No… he's right… we have to find out what's going on here and make them remember their pasts…"
She turns around again and goes with the crystal pony into the castle, then the three friends finally spot the queen of the crystal palace, the Shadow Mare stares at them sitting on her throne.
"Oh… new little ponies… welcome to my crystal kingdom… it's such a pleasure to meet you." She smiled.
Tecna and the others bow and look at her.
— We came from maretime bay to ask your majesty something… we want some magic crystals to take back to my laboratory…
“Oh… do you want crystals? Well… I can give you some crystals… on one condition…
The three ponies look at each other and look at the dark mare ready to hear what the condition was.
“I want you to take good care of and make good use of my crystals, so all the ponies can see what a good queen I am…
“Oh… are you okay? Only that? It can leave! We will take great care of them! – Sky says, clapping his hooves on the ground excitedly.
— Alright… take this one, my personal servant will take you to get some more, remember… make good use of them…
The three bow again.
— Thank you, Your Majesty…
A crystal earth pony approaches.
“I'm the Emerald Splitter… follow me please.
She walks away with the three other ponies following her, they introduce themselves, soon they arrive at a crystal mine.
— A mine?
— Ahem… this is where we get the crystals… come with me…
They enter the mine, then they start walking towards the depths of the crystal realm, but instead of following the conventional path, Esmeralda enters another path that only she knew.
Esmeralda led them into a room with drawings of the ancient Queen Cadence and the crystal heart, she pawed the drawings.
“You want to know what happened here… don't you?
— We want…
— Well… that dark pony is my mother… she appeared here, killed the ancient princess cadence and took the power of the kingdom for her, after that she tried to take equestria but was stopped by the mane 6, they created the crystals to make the magic disappear from equestria and protect the realms, but now that she was out of magic... Twilight couldn't protect herself from the Shadow Mare's wrath, so she went... was...
“Wait… is she dead? So that's why she disappeared...
“Yes… Shadow tried to gather the crystals again but it was no use, so she isolated herself and isolated the crystal realm, controlling all the ponies here and making everyone forget about the old queen, and forcing us to mine crystals, as that was the only one place that still had magic.
"Why was there still magic here?" Why didn't the rest of equestria have it?
“Because the magic that exists here was dark magic, not good and benign magic from the other realms, the problem is that this dark magic didn’t work outside the crystal realm…
"So she waited for someone to restore magic to dominate equestria?"
"That's right… I don't know why she's acting so nice to you guys, but you guys should be careful…"
- Don't worry! The crystals are for making prostheses for ponies, they will not be used for evil.
“Oh… prosthetics? It is possible?
— Hehe, yes…
“If you do this it will revolutionize equestria, it will be a very beautiful heroic feat…
You think?
I think…
Esmeralda smiles, and takes her new friends to get the crystals, but Sweet stayed to read some old scriptures.
“Oh… what is that emerald?
— Cadence's ancient magic… but no one can perform it…
- Oh I understood…
She went with Esmeralda out of the secret zone, when they get the crystals, they prepare to leave the cave when they smell gunpowder.
- What is it?
— Dammit… ALL PONIES RUN! NEW PATH EXPLOSION! ALL PONIES RUN! NEW PATH EXPLOSION!
The ponies start running out of the mine, Sweet trips and falls, Esmeralda comes back without hesitation to save her and runs from her side.
Run! Don't look back and run!
I'm running! I'm running!
Sweet whimpers, Esmeralda looks back listening to the caboom and seeing a lot of fire and smoke heading towards them, Tecno and Sky had already left, after all they were flying.
— Where are they? “Tecno thinks of coming back to help, though.
The two ponies leave the cave and the smoke comes right behind being spit out of the cave, Sweet stopped with wobbly and trembling legs dying of fear, the other three come close to her trying to wake her up.
— Sssssh… calm down, it's over, it's over, it won't happen again.
"That was scary brother!" I want to go home… do we have enough crystals yet? Say yes, please…
“Not exactly… we have enough crystals for now… but we'll need more in the future.
— B-But Techno…
— Ah… you don't have to come in next time Sweet… don't worry.
He touches her shoulder with his paw, and looks at the other friends.
“Let's go back to the Dark Queen and say thank you… we have a lot to do when we get back.
She galloped off to return to the palace.
— Thank you for what? It's pretty obvious that she tried to blow us up mercilessly! – Sky says a little annoyed.
"I know, but for now let's pretend we're with her, I have the perfect plan..."
She walks back to the palace entering the front, she made an annoyed face staring at Sombria.
“I know what your plan is…
- He knows? Who said I care if you know…
"And I thought he was amazing!" You sure are an unbeatable villain! Indestructible!
Shadow made a surprised face.
I am?
You're! And you know what? I have an even better plan for you… crystals have dark magic, so what if you gave us new loads of crystals daily to take to equestria? The power of the shadow king would be spread throughout equestria and you could use it to your advantage to regain power!
“Oh… I liked you, you have a great plan, but how am I going to make sure you don't betray me?
"Send your most trusted soldiers to watch over me!" I would never betray a queen as beautiful and smart as you...
Tecno's two friends look at each other without understanding anything, and look at her with fear, Sombria smiled at the corner and sat on the throne.
— Then my daughter Esmeralda goes with you… and if you deceive me, I will take revenge! I will hunt each of you across equestria until I find it and then I will kill you! Just like I did with Princess Cadence.
"You have my word, so do we have a deal?"
— We have… every day you will receive fresh shipments of crystals, now go away, I have a lot to do…
Tecno bowed, and walked out of the palace, Esmeralda, Sky and Sweet ran to her whispering behind her.
— Are you crazy? What's on your mind? – Esmeralda says.
“I have a thought that the ponies' magic can inhibit the dark power of the crystals, they won't be affected.
“How are you so sure about that?
"Because the Maretime Bay crystals have Twilight's magic inside them!" They will cleanse the evil magic… I believe it.
"If you're saying… I hope you're right…"
Tecno sighs and walks back to Maretime Bay to finish his prosthetics.
