Fall of Two Worlds: Changing Status

Rainbow Dash was flying home when Derpy shot out of the window and sped past Rainbow, the cyan Pegasus just heard the sounds of crying. Rainbow turned in the air, still flying toward the cloud fortress.

"Derpy!" Rainbow shouted, the grey mare didn't respond and Rainbow flow into the cloud at full speed, ready for the worst. There in the living room sat the human, completely fine and alive.

"Back?" He asked. Rainbow looked out the window then back to her dark cyan self. He looked outside for a second a gave that new, fake grin.

"What happened there?" Rainbow asked. The human thought about it for a second before shrugging it off and staring at Rainbow.

"Nothing important. What is it you have to tell from the unicorn?" The human asked. Staring blankly again.

"Eh? Oh Twilight. We all have to go over to hers, now." Rainbow replied. The human got up and stretched his wings.

"Okay then. I shall follow you." The human said. Looking to Rainbow, for, guidance? Rainbow decided to test her cruel theory.

"No, I think you should take me." Rainbow replied. Similing smugly. The human looked, worried for a second, before thinking again. Finally the human nodded and flapped his wings twice before taking off, floating in the air above the ground.

"So, who first?" The human asked. Doing a little loop in the air.

"You choose." Rainbow said. The man thought then nodded and flow out the window in a flash. Rainbow quickly followed and watched the human fly across the sky, almost scanning the land, after a while of floating in the air the human dashed toward where Fluttershy lived. Rainbow flow, having to be extra quick to keep up with the humans awesome speed. He had never flown this fast, except during the fall. The human and herself quickly found Fluttershy tending to some birds. The human landed next to the yellow mare, as did Rainbow. Fluttershy looked to the human and looked to Rainbow.

"Are, is he really back?" Fluttershy asked when Rainbow Dash and herself had gone inside, the human promising to gather the others.

"I really don't know Fluttershy. He's, different." Rainbow replied, almost as quietly as Fluttershy. The yellow Pegasus nodded.

"Maybe it is the, dark, energy he said he had been infected by?"

"He declined Derpy. I saw her fly out of the house in tears and the human just sat there. I know what he had done, anypony could have seen it. She waited two weeks for him, we all did." Rainbow said, bowing her head.

"What?" Fluttershy almost gasped.

"I believe it is the real human, but he's, he's just so different. I can't explain it." Rainbow trailed off. There was a knock at the door.

"Excuse me." Fluttershy pardoned, when she came back Rarity walked next to her.

"Hello Rainbow." Rarity said, quietly. Rainbow Dash looked at her friend and nodded.

"He, he is different." Rarity added, sitting on the carpet.

"How is he different for you?" Fluttershy asked. Looking out the window in case the human appeared.

"I can just tell, his eyes, they-" Rarity began.

"Turn green, I know." Rainbow interrupted. Rarity gave a shocked looked and nodded.

"What could it be?" The unicorn asked.

"He said something about dark magic and corruption that may still be infecting him." Rainbow said. The group gave nods, but all knew it their hearts it wasn't it.

Twilight Sparkle re-read the letter sent by princess Celestia. Three days, that was all they had. Twilight read the last line over and over; "You must assume the worse." What could the worst be? Twilight wondered alone, waiting for her friends to gather. Spike sat on the ledge outside. Finally Twilight decided to go check on the Elements once more. She trotted down the stairs to her basement and there, on pedestals, sat the seven gem necklaces of the Elements of Humanity. Twilight pumped her magical shape into the Elements, gaining access.

"The human can't be back, the Element of Sacrifice is dying, and the others are too. With this treat and the failure of the Elements. I don't know how we are going to pull through." Twilight said to herself. With her mana trail still open she saw the energy coming off each Element. All were throbbing, the main six throbbed their colours fairly fast, whilst Sacrifice just gave a dim bit of light, barely 'alive' at all. Twilight stared at the Element, hoping it would suddenly glow back into life. But nothing happened, and didn't for the ten minutes Twilight watched.

Finally everypony was there, each of the six, missing Twilight, sat around the table of Fluttershy's house, the human had sat back against the wall, completely silent and just staring ahead. Rainbow finished her drink and stood up.

"Okay everypony, Twilight has asked for us all to go to her tree library house to met her, she has received important news consulting Canterlot." Rainbow said, the moment she said Canterlot and Celestia together the human had leaned in to hear. Interesting. Rainbow thought. The group began to make there way to Twilight's home when suddenly the human excused himself for the toilet. Rainbow followed silently and saw a flash of green under the doorway, some muttered speech, then a second flash of dark cyan. As the door opened Rainbow rushed downstairs and waited for the "human".

The six ponies finally made there way to Twilight's home, the human up front speeding across the sky and looping round to wait for the others, whom were talking about him under their breathe.

"What if its Discord?" Applejack asked, staring up at the flying Pegasus.

"Why wait to attack us?" Rainbow replied. Also staring up. The group trotted along, waving to everypony who said hello and went about their daily business.

"Discord is pissed at Celestia, excuse me. Using human talk, Discord is annoyed at Celestia for allowing anypony to trick him into being freed, only to be launched of the highest mountain and apparently die. Discord's new body wants revenge on Celestia and all of us when we are together." Rarity said, Rainbow was shocked, among other things Rarity just swore.

"Maybe. Just stay on your guard. I don't think this is a reanimated version of Discord, but it sure as shit ain't the human." Great, now Rainbow Dash was cursing too. Where had that come from? The group neared Twilight's home and the human came in to land close to Rainbow. He hasn't said a single word since they left and didn't look about to.

The six reached the door and after an awkward stare and a silent nod. Twilight let everypony in, human first.

"Before we start, just one question.-" Twilight said, addressing the human using his pony name. "-How did dying feel?" Twilight asked. The human 'thought' about it for a second before clearing his throat.

"It's completely black, I felt nothing, my presence was around, but my body wasn't. I felt bliss begin to take me. For a while I was happy, then, the flash of light and I woke in Canterlot castle, frothing, corrupt, I had to run. My only choice, before I hurt anypony. I hid in the Everfree forest until Rainbow Dash found me." The human replied. But what about Derpy? She found him really.

"What of Derpy?" Twilight asked, for a second the human had a shocked, confused face, until he thought about it.

"I couldn't hurt her like that again, if I ever fell a second time, it would kill her." Rainbow began to listen now. It began to sound like the real human. But still, the signs.

"Okay then." Twilight replied and cleared her throat this time. "I have received word from princess Celestia finally. But it is not good news, an army of unknown origins has marched on Canterlot and are besieging the city. Celestia thinks she can hold them off, but isn't entirely sure, as far as anypony can tell, the force actually under numbers the defending force so Celestia thinks they can manage. However I have been ordered to gather my friends and any other pony who wants to fight and go up to Canterlot, if we do not get any word from the princesses in three days." Twilight said, everypony present nodded. "Okay, go find ponies to help." Twilight said and everypony left quietly. Rainbow Dash stayed, as did the human.

"Hey, Twilight, I may have read that letter and I know Twilight." Rainbow said, the truth was Celestia was heavily outnumbered and some attackers had already gotten into the city. Celestia wanted Twilight to gather a big of a force as possible and attack the enemy inside Canterlot, because Celestia knew in three days the city would be taken.

"Rainbow, I just hope this isn't the end." Twilight muttered. Rainbow looked to the still human, just staring, watching.

"No Twi, together, we can't be stopped. Equestria won't fall. Now excuse me. I got an army to gather." Rainbow said, leaving, closely followed by the man.

[AUTHORS NOTE-obviously it isn't going to be an army but I would like the names and descriptions of any OC's you want me to add in in this rag-tag team of fighters. Thanks]
