Author's Note

Yes I know the some of the lines here are straight from the script. But the point of DemiStory is that its just friendship is magic but an alternate version so somethings are gonna stay the same. Let me explain who the threat is. The threat is a solo(For now) villain. (The DuoElements Of Evil, An inspired and revised version of other villains that are not mine. Revised to properly fit into the story due to story being revised and remade for story.) The original villains are the chaotic elements of evil. Though because of story problems only SOME will appear. The story is difficult to include all of them without having to change the story so much. A lot of things will change and some chapters will probably be remade. The story will continue. Nothing will be different for you all because the versions you all will see will probably be the revised versions first. In this case. This story will ONLY feature some of the chaotic elements of evil for best story possible. This goes for FiM characters as well. For one Maud Pie will not appear including all her other siblings. Comet is an original character replacing her. Sorry for lazy writing its 3 am goodnight. :P

The Ancient Empire (Part 2)

The fog surrounds the ancient empire. Princess Pureheart and DemiArmor watch as the scene turns into one of pure horror. DemiTwi starts to panic not knowing what to do. DemiArmor looks at Princess Pureheart. Princess Pureheart looks back scared.

"It's okay. I am here for you." DemiArmor says.

Princess Pureheart nods with a smile and gets up. She immediately performs her spell casting the shield back. The dark fog creature immediately notices this and tries to enter the shield. His horn is broken off leaving to what seems to be melting into the ground leaving a dark crystal. The dark fog screams out in pain. The shield is now all put back together. Princess Pureheart immediately almost falls back.

"I have to find the ancient heart!" DemiArmor says.

"No! I will. You have to stay here with Pureheart. She needs you." DemiTwi says.

"I'll get the crystal heart!!" DemiTwi says starting to gallop back inside the castle and downstairs. She thinks to herself and wonders where the heart could be. She gallops back outside the castle and gallops towards DemiDash.

"DemiDash!! I have a plan!" DemiTwi says.

"Oh yeah? How can I help? Need me to dash around and find that heart? Need me to beat up some pony who stole it?" DemiDash says getting into her fighting pose.

"I need you and the others to keep the crystal faire going!"

"What?! With that thing trying to break into the empire?!" DemiDash says.

"The whole purpose of the Crystal Faire is to lift the spirits of the Crystal Ponies and Crystal Dragons so that they can activate the Ancient Heart. If the Crystal Ponies and Dragons find out that King Darkfog is trying to take over the Empire again, their spirits are gonna be anything but lifted. It won't matter if I find the Ancient Heart. They won't be able to make it work. You have to keep them happy here at the Faire. If they can't power the heart... there might not even be an empire to save anymore. There might not even be crystal ponies or dragons to save either..." DemiTwi explains.

"Okay!! Keep the spirits of The Crystal Ponies and Dragons! Got it! Consider it done!" DemiDash says flying off.

DemiTwi starts to gallop around looking for potential clues to where The Ancient Heart could be hidden. DemiDash flies over to DemiPie and starts to whisper to her about what's happening.

"WHAT!?" DemiPie says out loud.

The crystal ponies and dragons around her look at her weirdly. Some even whisper to each other trying to figure out what is going on.

"I just... uh... figured out that they were offering little outfits for the dragons!! Haha?" DemiPie says.

DemiTwi gallops past DemiPie and DemiDash still trying to find clues on where The Ancient Heart is. DemiPie thinks to herself, "Please hurry DemiTwi... I don't know if we can keep the crystal ponies and dragons occupied." DemiPie then goes back to trying to distract the ponies and dragons. DemiDash goes to tell Brensle the news. Brensle stays near the fake heart trying to avoid any of the crystal ponies and dragons. DemiSpike is not aware of the situation while Jasper is. Jasper does not tell DemiSpike so he does not freak out. DemiTwi continues to gallop around until she stops. She runs out of ideas until she looks back at the castle. She suddenly gets an idea and starts to gallop back to the castle.

"It has to be in the castle! He must have been depending on the fact the crystal ponies and dragons would have been too scared to try and get the ancient heart from there. I have to get there as soon as possible. Princess Sunrise's test... she must want me to get the heart specifically!! That is how tests work right? I cannot fail her!" DemiTwi finally makes it inside the crystal castle ready to find the heart.

Meanwhile, DemiSpike, Brensle, and Jasper stand near the fake heart. Brensle keeps trying to avoid having the crystal ponies and dragons near the fake heart. Jasper helps out by trying to lure the crystal ponies and dragons by telling them DemiDash and DemiPie have fun events sorted out for them.

"Uhhh... Jasper? Why do we have to keep them away from the heart? Why is there a blanket or whatever over the heart as well? It doesn't make sense..." DemiSpike says.

"Uhm... we just need to... get them all high spirits before we show them the heart! Think of it as a big surprise! How about you go uh... explore the castle? You know? There might be some books on the power ponies there. I heard they have a mini library there." Jasper says.

"Hm... okay! I'll be sure to tell you all about it if there is a book about them there!" DemiSpike says.

Jasper watches DemiSpike run into the castle. Brensle in the meantime continues to lead ponies and dragons away from the fake heart. He struggles as the ponies and dragons get more and more curious.

DemiTwi flips over statues, paintings, and even carpets trying to find the real ancient heart. She runs around more and more looking for anything that could look like The Ancient Heart. She runs into the throne room and tries to look for clues in there. She then looks at the throne and remembers what Princess SunRise said.

"These crystals are powered by the crystal ponies. The whole empire as well. If love and hope fill the empire and crystals it is reflected upon all of Demiquestria. But if hatred and fear take hold..."

"That's it!! This is where he hid The Ancient Heart!! When he was in power here... the throne room for sure did not look like this!!" DemiTwi exclaims.

DemiTwi then starts to use her magic. Her usual blue magic starts to darken. It then starts to project black magic with purple and green to the crystal right on top of the throne.

It then reveals a secret room on the floor with stairs leading to what seems to be a never-ending void. DemiTwi lights up her horn and starts to trot down the stairs hoping that The Ancient Heart is down there waiting to be found.

DemiSpike runs around looking for the mini library that was apparently in the castle. He then finds the throne room and realizes something different about it. Suddenly there's a light flashing from the window. He runs over to one of the windows to see what's causing the flashing.

"What the?" DemiSpike says.

The shield that is protecting the empire seems to be getting weaker and weaker. DemiSpike wonders why this is happening. Is there something he does not know happening behind the scenes? Is there something his friends are hiding from him?

"What is- Woah! Why is there a huge hole in the floor? That was not there before..." DemiSpike says.

DemiTwi finally makes it to the bottom of the staircase. She looks around and sees a door. She smiles thinking she has finally found where The Ancient Heart is hidden. She tries to open the door, but the door moves out of her way. She tries to open it again only for it to move again.

"What the?! Stop it!!" DemiTwi says trying to open the door again.

"The more frustrated DemiTwi gets the more her magic seems to turn dark. Suddenly she shoots dark magic at the door causing it to open.

"I did it! I did it!! Ancient Heart here I come!!" DemiTwi says.

DemiTwi then finds herself in the Canterlot castle. She looks around confused. She could have sworn she was just at the empire. Why is she here she wonders.

"What are you doing here?" Princess Sunrise says sitting on her throne.

"I-I don't know! I walked through a door then-"

"And now you must leave! You failed your test DemiTwi! And for me to have put all my faith in you..." Princess Sunrise says

DemiTwi's eyes widen. She couldn't believe what she was hearing from her own mentor.

"What?! But-"

"And not only will you not be moving to the next level of your studies. You won't be continuing your studies at all! Get out of my sight." Princess SunRise says.

Princess SunRise turns away from her. DemiTwi's eyes tear up from what she had just been told. She turns her head to a stained glass. The stained glass shows Darkfog grabbing the ancient heart with the ponies and dragons bowing to his will. DemiTwi starts to sob. A faint voice starts to call out her name.

"DemiTwi!! DemiTwi!!"

DemiTwi soon snaps out of it and looks around to see what is calling her. DemiSpike runs down the stairs and runs up to DemiTwi.

"DemiTwi! What happened?! Why weren't you responding?! You scared me so bad I thought you were like... I don't know! Wait... what were you even looking at? There's nothing here... I mean... it's just a wall." DemiSpike says. DemiTwi watches DemiSpike as the dark magic starts to be used on DemiSpike.

DemiSpike's eyes turn a bright green.

"W-what? Ponyville? But- what?! Y-you're sending me away?! Please DemiTwi!! I-I don't want to go!! T-the other dragons are mean!! Please!!" DemiSpike starts to cry to sob to himself.

DemiTwi slams the door shut making DemiSpike back to normal. DemiSpike wipes the tears off and looks at DemiTwi.

"King Darkfog's dark magic! A door that leads to your worst fear." DemiTwi says.

"We were home... you said you didn't w-want me anymore b-because-"

"A fear that would never come to pass. I love you for who you are DemiSpike. Fur or not."

DemiTwi says hugging him tight, "And I am not going to fail my test!"

DemiSpike hugs her back relieved that what he saw was not real. DemiTwi shoots magic at the crystal on top of the door causing it to shine. DemiSpike watches amazed at this. The door slowly opens. DemiTwi quickly trots through it. She looks around.

"What's in there?" DemiSpike asks.

DemiTwi looks up only to see stairs.

"Stairs... lots and lots of stairs..." DemiTwi says.

DemiSpike sits down and watches as DemiTwi trots up the stairs. DemiTwi looks back at DemiSpike and sees him waiting.

"Maybe you should come with me... okay?" DemiTwi says.

DemiSpike jumps up and runs over to DemiTwi happily. He jumps on her back smiling. The two then start to trot up the stairs ready to get The Ancient Heart.

The Ancient Heart is now surrounded by a bunch of crystal ponies and dragons. Brensle backs up to the point where he is right in front of the heart. DemiDash panics a bit while Jasper tries to come up with a solution.

"Oh no... this is bad!!" Brensle says as the shield around the empire starts to glitch more and more.

"We can't just give up!! I am sure DemiTwi will find the heart quickly! The princess is not looking too good... but with the heart, we won't be needing her magic anyways!!" DemiDash says.

"It better be quick!! These dragons and ponies are too curious!! I don't know if I can hold them back much longer!!" Jasper says.

"True true!! Even I can't keep juggling all these flugelhorns at once!! AHH!" DemiPie suddenly falls accidentally throwing one of the flugelhorns.

The flugel horn hits the fake heart revealing it. The fake heart rolls over to the crystal ponies and dragons revealing the truth to them.

"This isn't The Ancient Heart..." One of the crystal ponies says.

"U-uhhh... of course it isn't! The real heart is being... uh..." Brensle tries to come up with an excuse.

"On its way!!" DemiDash says.

"Seriously?! That barely buys us any time!!" Jasper says.

"As if you had anything better!!" DemiDash says.

"Maybe the heart being polished would have bought us more time!!" Jasper says.

"...oh," DemiDash says.

The shield starts to glitch out more and more. The crystal ponies and dragons start to panic noticing this.

DemiTwi and DemiSpike continue up the stairs. DemiTwi is tired from how many stairs there are and DemiSpike is bored.

"What if this is just another one of King Darkfog's magic? He made a door that led to our greatest fears... why not a staircase that leads to... wait... why are we here?" DemiSpike says.

"Uhhh... uhm... okay look. Don't panic, okay? Ahem... So apparently The Ancient Heart is a relic that protects the empire so now we need to find it because without it the empire is not protected and if the empire is not protected then King Darkfog who has returned will take over the empire which will lead to the crystal ponies and dragons being slaves again and if not slaves then killed!!" DemiTwi said quickly.

DemiSpike looks at her. Not saying a word and not panicking at least.

"Oh good! I thought you were-"

"DEMITWI, WE NEED TO FIND THE ANCIENT HEART!!" DemiSpike screams out suddenly.

"Okay okay calm down!! Hm... wait!! I have an idea!! Hold on to me, okay?" DemiTwi says starting to perform a spell.

"Uhm... DemiTwi? What are you doing?" DemiSpike says.

Suddenly DemiTwi and DemiSpike are flipped around and are sliding on the bottom of the stairs. DemiTwi slides and slides with DemiSpike on her back.

"I have actually studied gravity spells thinking it was going to be on my next test!! I am so glad I have thought of this!!" DemiTwi says

"Yeah! This is going to be a breeze!!" DemiSpike says.

Suddenly the two reach the end of the staircase. DemiTwi quickly disables the gravity spell to avoid flying up and falls on the floor with DemiSpike. She gets up and her eyes are met with the real ancient heart!!

"We did it!! We really did it!!" DemiTwi says.

"Come on! Get the heart... the shield is fading faster and faster!!" DemiSpike says.

DemiTwi looks outside and sees the shield fading more and more. She quickly gallops towards the heart and grabs it. She trots back over to DemiSpike with the heart.

"We got it!! Okay, hold still!! I'm gonna teleport us out of here!!" DemiTwi says as she lights her horn up getting ready to do the spell.

Suddenly she is hit with a blast of dark magic. The heart falls out of her hooves as she falls to the floor. She looks up to see the dark king standing right in front of her. Her eyes widen seeing King Darkfog right in front of her. She looks out and sees the empire slowly being turned into a dark crystal version of itself. She turns back at the king in fear.

"DEMISPIKE!! YOU HAVE TO GET THE HEART TO PRINCESS PUREHEART!! NOW!!" DemiTwi shouts. She uses her magic to try and hold King Darkfog still.

"W-what?! But you fail-"

"GO!!" DemiTwi says.

"Let go you waste of pony space!!" The king yells. He counters the spell and faces DemiSpike.

DemiSpike grabs the heart quickly and backs up in fear. He looks down to see the balcony. He sees his friends there trying to calm the crystal ponies and dragons from the surroundings. He looks back at King DarkFog who is rapidly approaching him and an injured DemiTwi who is struggling to get back up. He closes his eyes and attempts to jump down to the balcony from where his friends are but is grabbed by the leg by King DarkFog.
"AHHH!! HELP!! HELP ME PLEASE!!" DemiSpike says.

"Did you really think YOU could stop me from taking back my slaves?! It's pathetic to see how a furry dragon tried playing hero..." King DarkFog says.

"Stop!!" DemiTwi says.

DemiTwi gets back up and starts to gallop with her magic ready to attack. King DarkFog's eyes turn green causing dark crystals to grow out of the ground. DemiTwi's hooves are stabbed with the crystals causing her to scream out in pain. King DarkFog looks back at DemiSpike who is being held by the leg by him. His eyes turn a green and purple color glowing.

"Why even try to save this pathetic empire... When you can't even face your fears." King DarkFog says.

"HELP ME!! SOMEPONY!!! HELP!!" DemiSpike cries out in fear as his eyes display a green color now.

He sees himself in Ponyville once again... being told to back to the dragon lands. He begs DemiTwi and his other friends to let him stay but they won't. He then remembers what DemiTwi had said before.

"A fear that would never come to pass. I love you for who you are DemiSpike. Fur or not."

DemiSpike's eyes turn back to normal. He kicks King DarkFog in the face with his other leg making him let go of him. DemiSpike finds himself falling and falling. He covers his eyes scared holding onto the heart.

"HELP!! I'M UP HERE!!" DemiSpike says falling.

"What? DemiSpike?" Brensle says confused until looking up.

DemiArmor looks up to see DemiSpike falling. He tries to think about what to do. He looks at DemiDash only to find her trying to calm down the ponies and the dragons from the fog rapidly approaching. He looks at Princess PureHeart and picks her up making her face DemiSpike. She slowly opens her eyes and sees the glow of The Ancient Heart. She spreads out her wings getting ready to fly. King DarkFog chases behind DemiSpike using crystals to avoid falling. He reaches out to him trying to capture him. Once again he captures him and gets ready to not only harm but kill him.

Suddenly DemiSpike is snatched out of his grasp! Princess PureHeart catches DemiSpike and holds The Ancient Heart as she soars through the sky!! She lands on the ground in front of the crystal ponies and dragons.

"Behold!! The Crystal Princess!" One of the crystal ponies says.

Princess PureHeart destroys the fake heart and places the real heart where it has to be.

"The Ancient Heart has returned. Use the light and love within you to ensure that King DarkFog does not." Princess PureHeart says.

The crystal ponies and dragons all bow down. Their coats/scales transform into their crystal forms. The heart starts to shine, removing all the dark crystals, and lights up the empire. King DarkFog watches irritated.

"What?! NO! No!!" King DarkFog says.

A sudden wave of light surrounds the empire and hits King DarkFog. King DarkFog starts to shatter one by one. He starts to yell out in pain before fading away from the light. Suddenly, Princess PureHeart gains a crystal form along with DemiSpike and his friends. Princess PureHeart flies up and stands next to DemiArmor. DemiSpike hops off her back and looks down at the crystal ponies and dragons cheering. Princess PureHeart and DemiArmor wave at the ponies and dragons cheering. DemiSpike looks up at the tower and sees DemiTwi looking down at them. DemiSpike feels a wave of guilt completing Princess Sunrise's test for her. DemiTwi gives him the look saying "Good Job" before going out of view to get to them.

DemiDash, DemiPie, Jasper, and even Brensle are shocked to see their crystal selves.

"Woah... I have never had a crystal form!! It's so cool!!" Brensle says.

"Mom would have liked this!!" Jasper says.

"I am 20% cooler now!! Haha!!" DemiDash says.

"EEEE!! Crystally!!" DemiPie exclaims.

"Awhhhh!! Look at you DemiSpike!! You look so cool!!" Jasper says running over to DemiSpike.

"Oh!! H-haha! Thanks!! Y-you... you too..." DemiSpike says.

Princess PureHeart gets an idea and uses her magic for something. She then says "Oh!" and gives DemiSpike a knowing look when he turns to her. DemiSpike immediately realizes what she has done. If the princess is a princess of love then she can tell when love is in the air. Especially with a spell to see who the dragon or pony is feeling love for.

After an hour the group finds themself leaving the empire. DemiTwi is carried by DemiDash due to her hooves being stabbed with the dark crystals. Princess PureHeart and DemiArmor trot beside them. They leave the group to head in the train. They wave goodbye and head back into the empire. DemiTwi from inside the train watches the empire come out of view. In the sky, there is a prism beam-like thing flowing through the sky coming in various colors.

"Uhm... DemiTwi?" DemiSpike says, "I-I'm sorry... I caused you to fail SunRise's test..." DemiSpike says feeling guilty.

"No no! It is okay... It isn't your fault. I was not willing to risk the futures of the citizens for my test. I am proud of you. I knew you could do it DemiSpike." DemiTwi says bringing him into a hug.

"I do wish the crystal effect was permanent! I looked so cool!!" Brensle says.

"Maybe next time we arrive!! Who knows?" DemiPie says.

"I hope!! I really liked being crystally!!" Jasper says.

"Hehehe." DemiTwi chuckles from the conversation going on.

"So!! I assume you're gonna get an A+ huh?" DemiDash says.

"...mhm! I have all the time to prepare!" DemiTwi says.

An hour flew by quickly. DemiTwi now stands in front of the throne room doors. Her breathing was pacing and shaky. Her heart beats in her stomach. She takes a deep breath and opens the throne room doors.

"DemiTwi! I was getting so worried! I was about to get the guards to go out and help you!! I assume your task went well... now that I pay attention closely and look at the prisbeam in the sky." Princess SunRise says.

"Yes... but I am afraid I have... failed your test..." DemiTwi says.

"What? What do you mean DemiTwi?" Princess SunRise says.

"It... wasn't me who caused all this... It wasn't me who caused the prisbeam... Nor was it me who brought the heart to the princess... it was DemiSpike... He brought the heart to Princess PureHeart because I was attacked by King DarkFog in the tower. I guess I will get an F..." DemiTwi says sad.

Princess SunRise stands there looking confused till she speaks again.

"DemiTwi, as I understand it, DemiSpike brought Princess PureHeart the Ancient Heart because you weren't sure how quickly you could find a way to escape the tower. You weren't willing to risk the future of the citizens of the Ancient Empire in an effort to guarantee your own. Far better that I have a student who understands the meaning of self-sacrifice than one who only looks out for her own best interests. Though, I never said it had to be YOU to save the empire. Even if the test was for you to get it specifically, I wouldn't have cared either way if another was to bring the heart to Princess PureHeart and not you. The point was for the empire to be protected. I am glad you got DemiSpike to deliver the heart to DemiSpike. You are a smart student." Princess SunRise says.

"Wait... does this mean I..."

"Yes! You passed DemiTwi. I knew you could do it!" Princess SunRise says.

DemiSpike and the others sit outside. DemiSpike panics thinking DemiTwi is gonna go crazy from failing while the others try to calm him down.

"She's gonna lose it!! What if she goes insane because she failed?! What if she hates me for the rest of her life?! What if-"

"Hey hey chill out! You're overreacting!!" DemiDash says and then whispers, " When are you not..."

"It's okay! Maybe... she passed! She's smart! She would never fail a test! ...right?" Brensle says.

"Of course! She would never fail! She's smart and all... but what if she fails?! What if I didn't give her enough flashcards?! What if I didn't study with her hard enough?! What-"

"Hey! Just calm down dragon! DemiTwi will be A-OK! I know it!! OOO! Here she comes! I already have all of the confetti cannons ready! I even brought my special occasion for when DemiTwi and her friends travel to the Ancient Empire which is The Crystal Empire counterpart from friendship is magic and save the empire from King DarkFog party cannon!!" DemiPie says.

DemiTwi trots in front of the group and looks down at the ground.

"Y-you failed?! Oh DemiTwi I am so sorry!! Y-you can ground me-"

"I PASSED!! WOOHOOO!!" DemiTwi yells out.

"PARTYYYY!! WOOHOOOOOO YEAHHH!!" DemiPie says shooting the party cannons.

DemiSpike is relieved to hear she has passed while the others cheer out celebrating.

"I-I knew everything would be okay!! Haha... phew..." DemiSpike says hopping on her back and resting after a long and tiring adventure. He is happy to know she has passed and everything turned out okay.

Somewhere dark and mysterious.

"DUMBASS DUMBASS DUMBASS!! AND I THOUGHT HE WAS GONNA DO THE TRICK!! NO!! OF COURSE HE WAS DEFEATED!!! UGHHHH!!! No matter.. I still have a bunch of things to throw at them... and once I am able to attack... You will die!!" A voice says. She kicks something on the floor in anger and trots off. It is clear a big threat is still waiting for DemiTwi.
