“What was that scream?!” The second princess asked Zipp looking at her.

“Uh… it was one of the prisoners” she answered, looking at Sunny.

“Oh one of the prisoners you say?” She started to look at the four ponies, that were in the cell. “As your princess, I demand the pony that screamed to show up immediately” she commanded. Meanwhile, Twilight has started a telepathic spell with Starlight.

“Hey, Starlight. I know my cover has been blown, so maybe I will show up to this second princess?”She asked in Starlights head.

“Well, it’s your decision to do so, but someone needs to tell her, that she isn’t the best pony.” she answered, ending the link. Twilight was watching the pink princess arguing with Zipp, when finally she has planned everything in her head. Let’s just wait for a good moment

“I see, that no one’s want to step up. We will solve that later. Now Zipp, can you tell me what are doing here?” She asked.

“I was just walking here Pipp. You don’t need to be angry at me sister.” She said. Princess Pipp, as she was probably called, looked at the Zipp.

„You know what moim said about visiting prisoners?” She said. Zipp nodded, annoyed.

“Ok I need to go” She finally said. Twilight had enough for her, and Zipp probably too. “You also need to leave. You still need to prepare for my concert for tonight.” She added.

“I will leave in a second sister” she answered, and waited for her to leave. When she left, she scanned her hoof and released them all.

“I need to show you something.” She told them. Everyone nodded and came with her. They walking for some time, when they arrived at the destination.

“You need to jump, Zipp informed, jumping into the hole in the floor. Soon after Izzy and Sunny joined her, barely having any control of the jump, while Twilight teleported herself there, Starlight levitated herself down to the mysterious place. The was some sort of road in the middle, and colorful windows with mosaic. Twilight was looking at them, stunned. Sunny joined her after a minute.

“What are you looking at girls?” Zipp noticed them looking at the windows. Oh this? This a old windows, showing all races of ponies, and their crystals.”

“Crystals?” Twilight said, confused.

“They are around for so long, that I don’t know even for how long. “ she explained

“In our time there is no crystals. We just live with magic, well not counting Crystal Heart” Twilight said.

“Crystal Heart?” Sunny looked at Twilight. Meanwhile, Starlight was looking with Izzy around the Station. Izzy found old posters of their homes, while Starlight founded much more interesting.

“Hey Zipp, is there some sort of other crystals, not counting Pegasi one?” She asked

“Well I think there is an unicorn one. Why do you ask?”

“Because I founded this” she showed piece of glass, that was looking like some kind of crystal. She then, pushed it into a reflection.

“It fits!” Sunny said. Gaining everyone’s attention.

“Maybe you lost magic because crystals were separated?” Twilight theorized “they should be together?”

“Maybe that the reason” Sunny said. She turned to Zipp. “Where are your race crystal?”

“Our? My mom has it on the crown, but problem is, that she never leaves her crown. She even shower and swim with it” Zipp said.

“Your sister said about some sort of concert tonight. Maybe we will use it?” Izzy proposed.

“Hmm you’re right. I think I have a plan.” Zipp started. “Izzy you need to do a replica of the crown, I will get the materials, Twilight and Starlight, you will make yourself and other an illusion of the Pegasi wings. Sunny, you will get to know as much about crystal as possible. We don’t know much about them.” Zipp planned. But one pony didn’t listen. This pony was Twilight Sparkle. Even if she heard what she need to do, the was looking at the mosaic. There was something important for her. It was… her cutie mark.

“Hey Twi, is everything okay? Starlight came to her.

“Yes, just looking at the windows. There is my cutie mark at the top.” She said. “Maybe in a future I created crystals? Why did I do this? What happened in future?

“Twilight calm down. You will think about it later. Now we need to get ready and follow the plan.” Twilight calmed herself down after a moment. She was ready to unite the crystals, and bring back the magic, that ponies from this time lost.

2 hours before the concert

Izzy was making her copy of the crown, while Starlight and Twilight were thinking, how to camouflage the rest of the group. They can’t just ‘slap’ the wings, since their faces is publicly available.

“Hey Sunny, can you come to us?” Starlight asked. She appeared moment later. “Since our photos are publicly known, we need to be creative and create for ourselves like ‘new versions’ of us. I mean like new look etc. do you understand” Sunny nodded. “So, you need to construct yourself a character.p, so that you will not look like you right now.” She finished.

“I will prepare new look for everyone if it’s okey with you.” She offered.

“You can, but not for me and Twilight. We have it” Sunny nodded again and left, to prepare new ‘bodies’ for everyone except Zipp.

“How are you feeling?” Twilight asked.

“Could be better. I can’t believe we will steal a crown of the head of the state.” She said.

“We don’t have option. We need to do this.”

“Let’s hope nothing bad happens…”

Slightly shorter chapter now. I had to rewrite everything up, so it took more time, and sthere can be some parts, that doesn’t fit other part. If you point them I would really appreciate it. I’m very sorry for that.
