Chapter2:The return of harmony part two

In the dark castle that is in the netherworld, general Crypto is seen kneeling down to his master, King Sombra.“What is it that you want to report to me?” said Sombra.

“My lord, I would like to report that we have already sent another one of our monsters to the earth realm to collect more life energy,“ Crypto reported. ”The one we send this time is a member of the four shadow elites.”

“And what of your attempts to find the celestial seal?” said Sombra.

“We unfortunately haven’t found any traces of them.“ Crypto reported to his master.

“Then I advise you to double your efforts as you know the consequences of failure,“ Sombra said as his eyes glow red with malice, which sends a chill down crypto spine.

“Yes, my lord, I will double my efforts,“ Crypto said in fear, knowing that even if Sombra is currently still a shadow, he is still far from helpless.

"Excellent," Sombra said.
….
In Canterlot High School, the final bell had just rung, and everyone was packing their things and began to leave the classroom. Twilight was walking through the school hallway when she heard a familiar voice that caused her to stop.

"Hey, Twilight,“ the voice said. Twilight turned and saw it was sunset shimmer, who was waving and walking towards her.

“Oh, hey sunset,“ twilight greeted sunset.

“So Twilight, do you have any plans for today since Rainbow Dash and Pinkie Pie are inviting me to bowling today? Do you want to come along?” Sunset, ask twilight.

“I can’t; I have to go home right away since I have a family matter to attend to,"Twilight said. ”Maybe next time.”

“All right,“ Sunset said. Afterward, twilight, then began walking out of the school with sunset following her. After getting on her bike, she said goodbye to sunset and began pedaling away.
….
When twilight reached her house, she placed her bike in her front yard and went through the front door of her house.

“I am home,“ Twilight said as she walked through the door and saw her parents waiting for her. They were dressed in the same white robe she saw them wear in Celestia and Luna throne room.

“Good, you have arrived,“ Velvet said. ”Which means we start your training. You should first change into something more appropriate.”

“Okay,” Twilight said as she began making her way up to her room. After entering her room, she took off her school uniform and changed into a blue tracksuit. After changing, she went downstairs, where she saw her parents waiting for her.

“All right, I am ready,“ Twilight said.

“Good, let go.” Night light said.

“Go where?” Twilight asks.

“To the basement,“ Velvet said as she and Night Light began walking to the basement with Twilight following them.

“Wait, what about me?” A voice said, and everyone turned to see spike walking towards them.

“Spike, what do you want?“ Night Light asks the young boy.

“I want to learn magic,“ Spike said with an excited voice.

“Sorry spike No, can do.” Night light said. ”We need to put all our focus on twilight right now.”

“Ah, come on, I want to learn magic too.” Spike whined. ”I mean, how many people get a chance to learn magic?”

"Looked spiked right now isn’t a good time. We promise to teach you magic next time when we are free,” Night Light said. ”Just be patient, okay?" You will get your turn.

“ Fine.” Spike said. ”Can I at least come and watch? I am a bit curious to see how you will train Twilight.”

“Sure, we have no problem with that.” Night light said.

Everyone then headed to the basement door, and after going through the door, they made their way down the basement stairs until they reached the bottom.

"So, how are you going to train Twilight?“ Spike said. ”Since I don’t think this place is big enough to train, and I certainly don’t see anything that resembles a training dummy or a training ground,”

“Simple by using this.” Velvet said as she pulled out a small cube from her robe.

“What is that thing?” Twilight asks.

“It is called a spacial cube.” Night light said. ”Both Luna and Celestia gave this to us to help with your training.”

“So what does it do?” Twilight asks.

"Simply, it creates a small pocket dimension where we can train you without restraint.” Velvet said as she held the cube up. It glowed for a few moments, and suddenly a large white light was launched from the cube. It hit the celling of the basement, and it slowly expanded until it covered the entire room. Once the light died down, it revealed to Twilight and Spike that they were now in what looked like a forest.

“Wow,” both Spike and Twilight said with amazement.

“Now we should start with your training,“ Velvet said as she put the cube back in her robe.

“So what am I supposed to do now?” Twilight ask.

“First, we need to train the magic you were naturally born with, and once we are done with that, we can begin your training with the elements.” Velvet said.

"Okay,"Twilight said. "So, what do you want me to do?”

“What you need to do is simply tap into your past life’s memory.” Night light said. ”To achieve that, all you have to do is simply concentrate and let your instinct guide you.”

“You mean like back in the jewelry shop?” Twilight ask.

“That is correct,” Velvet said.

"Okay,"Twilight said as she sat down on the ground in a lotus pose and began concentrating. Like back in the jewelry shop, she can feel what her instincts are telling her. However, unlike back in the jewelry shop, this time her instinct was telling her how to access her past life memories. What she needed to do was concentrate hard in order to gain access to those memories. So she did just that: she concentrated as hard as she could until suddenly she felt new information had entered her brain. If Twilight were to compare this feeling to something, she would compare it to a computer, as similar to how a computer would download new information; it was like her brain was downloading new information. She mentally went through the new information that she had gained and instantly understood it to the very last detail. She then opens her eyes and points an open palm at a stick. She concentrated, and immediately a faint purple aura covered it, and immediately it floated into the air. Twilight then stood up and fired a magical blast from her hand at it. When the blast hit the stick, it exploded, resulting in the stick being completely destroyed.

“Wow!” Spike said, amazed.

“That is not all,” Twilight said as she held her hands forward, and immediately a large purple shield surrounded her. After doing that, she made the shield disappear.

"Excellent work, Twilight, “ night light said in a proud voice. ”You are making great progress in tapping into your past life’s memories. However, we need to warn you that you must access your memory in a slow manner and that you only try to access it in a small amount since if you try to do it in a quick manner or try to access too much information at once, it could overload your mind, which can cause serious mental problems that could lead to permanent mental damage.”

“I will remember that,” Twilight said.

“Alright, let's start your training with the elements of magic,” Velvet said.

"Ok," Twilight said as she raised the hand that had the elements of magic in the air. “Elements of harmony, magic!” Instantly after saying that, a bright light covered her, and she transformed into her magical girl form. “Alright, I am now ready.”
….
In Canterlot City, rarity was seen walking down the street. After school was over, Rarity went shopping at her favorite clothing store, hence why she was currently carrying a shopping bag full of the clothes she bought. Currently, rarity was walking back home as she had just finished shopping. As she walked, she heard a voice calling at her, making her stop.

“Excuse me, madam." The voice said, and rarity turned to her left and saw a flora shop she had never seen before, and in front of the front door of the shop was a woman who seemed to be around 21. She has tan skin and long, red hair that reaches her neck. She was also dressed as a florist. ”I am Gloriosa Daisy, and I am the owner of this humble little shop.”

“Well, in that case, I am rarity and may I ask what you want from me, darling?” Rarity asks the woman.

“Well, I was wondering if you would be interested in buying this new breed of plant, “Gloriosa said before motioning for rarity to follow her. ”Please follow me so I can show you.” She then started walking into the shop, and out of curiosity, she decided to follow her inside the shop.

Gloriosa leads rarity to the front of the shop. After getting to the front of the counter, she pulled out a potted plant from under the table. Rarity, look down at the plant and take a closer look. The plant was colored with the flower bud closed. While rarity wasn’t a plant expert, she could tell that the plant in front of her was quite unique.

“Where did you get such a plant?“ rarity asked the girl.

“This is a new plant that my father discovered during his trip in the Amazon forest.” Gloriosa said. ”After discovering them, he brought a bunch of them home and even created a special greenhouse to breed them.”

"My, I have to admit, this plant is quite unique.” Rarity said. ”Hmm, maybe I should buy it for Sweetie Bell. She would no doubt love this. How much for this one?”

“Its original price is thirty, but since you are the first person who bought it, I will give you a discount and lower it to fifteen.” Gloriosa said.

“Well, that is mighty generous of you, darling.” Rarity said as she gave Gloriosa the money. After receiving the money from rarity Gloriosa, place the plant in a plastic bag and give it to rarity.

“Thank you for your patronage." Gloriosa said as rarity began walking to the door. ”And please come again.”

“I think I will, darling.” Rarity said as she waved goodbye to the girl, and after that, she left the shop.

Gloriosa, now alone, just smiled evilly once rarity left.

“Foolish human,” Gloriosa said as her pupil glowed green.
….
Twilight panted a bit before drinking the water bottle Spike had given her. She was currently sitting down on one of the sofas that was in the living room. The rest of her family were sitting down on the chairs that were near her.

“You make quite a process in regard to your training.” Night light praising his daughter.

“Yeah, you were quite amazing,“ Spike said, praising his older sister.

"Well, it seems someone has been working hard.” A familiar voice spoke, and everyone turned and saw both Celestia and Luna suddenly appear in the room. Both of them are wearing their royal outfits and crowns.

“Queen Celestia and Luna What a surprise to see you two here.” Velvet said as she and Night Light got up from their seats and bowed down to the two.

“Sorry for the sudden surprise, but we were curious to see how Twilight has been progressing.” Luna said.

“She is doing great, you majesty,“ Night Light said. "She has been making great progress in her training.”

“ Excellent.” Celestia said before turning her attention to twilight. "Anyhow, Twilight, they are something I need to give you.” Celestia said as she walked in front of twilight. She snapped her fingers, and immediately a chest appeared in her arms. She presented the chest to Twilight and opened it to let Twilight see what was inside. Inside the chest, she saw five bracelets that were similar to hers. Only unlike hers, where the gem was a six-pointed star, the ones on the other bracelets were a red gem shaped like a thunderbolt, a purple gem shaped like a diamond, a blue gem shaped like a balloon, a pink gem shaped like a butterfly, and an orange-shaped gem shaped like an apple.

“What is that?” Spike asked, looking at the gem.

“ This is the rest elements. Loyalty, generosity, laughter, kindness, and honesty.” Celestia said as she pointed which gem represents which elements. "Anyhow, I am giving you the rest of the elements so you can use them to find the rest of the other users of the elements of harmony.”

Twilight placed her hand, which had the elements of magic near it, and immediately both the elements of magic and the rest of the elements glowed brightly, and immediately the elements of harmony that were in the chest were covered in a white light before turning into a beam of light that was absorbed into the elements of magic.

“What just happened?” Twilight ask surprise.

“The rest of the elements of harmony were stored in the elements of magic.” Luna said. ”And they will stay there until you find the rest of the users of the elements of harmony. Once you manage to find the other users, the elements of magic will automatically give them the elements they best represent.”

“I guess that makes finding the rest of the user of the elements of harmony easier, don’t you think twilight?” Spike said.

“I suppose it does.” Twilight said.

“Anyhow, me and Luna need to return to celestial island to continue our duties.” Celestia said.

"Yikes, that must be a lot of work you two have since not only do you have to run an entire school but also run an entire kingdom.” Spike said. ”I can’t even imagine what it’s like. You two must have a lot of stress.”

“Well, you are in the right for thinking such as thing spike if we didn’t have the means to use astral drop.” Celestia said.

“Astral drop.” Spike asked, confused. ”What is that?”

“Astral drop refers to an ability that allows us to create perfect copies.” Luna said as she snapped her fingers, and immediately a white light covered Luna, and it wasn’t long before it separated from Luna and took the form of Luna. Both Spike and Twilight look on in amazement, as standing before them was a perfect copy of Luna.

“The copies that are created through astral drop are self-aware to a certain degree.” The copy Luna said. ”However, they are more than capable of achieving their purpose in covering for us. This is because the copy has the original memories and personality and is thus able to perfectly act and make decisions in the same way the original would. They also gain the same powers and abilities as the original, but it is only a small fraction of the original.”

“In addition to that, we can absorb the original back to us and gain their memories. This means we can know any new information that the copy learns." Celestia said, and as soon as she said that, Luna touched her copy, and immediately the copy was covered in white light and was absorbed back into Luna.

“As you can see, we can be at two places at once." Luna said. ”This helps in lessening our work burden.”

“By the way, I have been meaning to ask you, but what is celestial island, and where is it located exactly?” Twilight ask. ”I never heard of it before, or did I get a chance to see where it is exactly since when my parents took me and spiked home, we left the island through the teleportation room.”

After saying the last bit, both Twilight and Spike can’t help but think back on how her parents took her and Spike to the teleportation room that was located in the castle. The teleportation room consists of a large circle that was carved into the ground and four large pillars that have large gems on them. The only people in the room were four men in robes who, according to her dad, specialized in teleportation magic. As soon as she and her family stepped into the center of the circle, the four men blasted the gem with a magic blast, and immediately the gem fired an energy beam that hit the circle that was engraved on the ground. The next thing Twilight knew, a blue light covered the center of the circle, and immediately a bright flash happened, and she and everyone were in the basement of their house. She later asked her parents for more information on what happened, and according to them, teleportation magic is advanced magic that requires a large amount to time to master. In addition to that, the distance that one can travel depends on the amount of magic that one has. There was also some danger, such as accidentally ending up in some random place that might be full of danger if you didn’t set up your coordination correctly or if you didn’t add the correct safeguards. You might end up teleporting into a person or solid objects. Hence why safeguards were set up so that when you teleport into a destination, the safeguards will ensure you don’t teleport into something solid.

As for the teleportation room, according to what her parents said, its main purpose was to help transport people or objects out of celestial island or transport them in. The teleportation room works by first putting what you want to teleport in the center of the circle, and then the four mages in the room will blast a teleportation spell at the large gems that were on top of the pillar. Once hit, the gems will amplify the spell and fire them at the circle, which will teleport whatever is on the circle to its destination. Twilight had to admit that was quite an impressive way to transport people and things into and off the island.

“Well, I suppose you do have the right to know more about celestial island.” Celestia said. ”Celestial Island is an island that is located in the waters of Canterlot City. However, it is covered by a powerful spell that was set up centuries ago when mages and other magic users went into secrecy. It is due to this spell that it was able to stay hidden from the public eye for centuries and why it can only be accessed by those who have an affinity with magic or if someone with magic brought them in.”

“As for the founding of celestial island," Luna said. ”It was founded centuries ago when we first started our order of mages, which would be known as the order of celestial. It started as a simple base of operation for us and our allies, but as time went on, the number of our followers and allies increased, and eventually we formed a community of our own on the island. It wasn’t long after that we started allowing people to stay on the island, whether they were magic users or non-magic users who went to live on the island for one reason or another. It wasn’t long before we formed our own small nation.”

“What about cadance? How does she fit in all this?” Spike asks.

"Ah, yes, cadance,“ Luna said. ”Cadence was sent by our mother sometime after our battle with Sombra, as she believed that now that the original users of the elements of harmony are dead, we would now require extra help in defending the earth.”

“Hey, wait a minute, I just realized something.” Spike said as a sudden realization hit him. ”If Cadance is a princess and Shining marries her, just that make him a prince or something.”

“Well, yes, you are correct.” Celestia said. ”Of course, the word consort is a more appropriate term.”

“So is shining also in charge of celestial island like you guys and cadance.” Spike ask.

“Well yes.” Luna said. ”He helps us with the administration’s and politics of Celestial Island, and in addition to that, he is also the head of the royal guards, meaning his duty also involves managing and training the royal guards. Anyhow, if you don’t have any more questions, I think me and Celestia will make our way back. We wish you two the best of luck.”

“Goodbye Celestia, goodbye Luna,“ Twilight said as she waved goodbye, with Spike doing the same.

“Goodbye Twilight and goodbye Luna,“ Celestia said before she and Luna disappeared.

“I think I should take a shower now,“ Twilight said as she got up from the sofa and stretched. She then headed up the stairs to take a shower.
….

“Everything is going according to plan, general crypto.” Gloriosa said reporting to the transparent image of general crypto. Currently, she is in a large room that is full of different kinds of plants, from flowers to potted trees. ”I have given at least more than 50 of my special plants to the humans.

“ Excellent.” Crypto said. ”But I must warn you, the user of the element of magic is still at large, and no doubt once she discovers what you are doing, she will go after you.”

“Do not worry, my lord; as a member of the four shadow elites, I am more than capable of dealing with the new user of the element of magic.” Gloriosa said.

“Just make sure you are careful.” crypto said. ”The master does not tolerate failure.”

“I am well aware of that, my lord.” Gloriosa said. ”But I assure you, my lord, I will not fail you.”

“Be sure you do.” Crytpo said.
….
"Where are you going twilight.”Spike asked her older sister, who was going down the staircase, dress in her casual attire. Twilight turned and saw spike was at the top of the stairs.

“Oh, I am just going for a walk around the city,” Twilight said.

"Oh, in that case, can I come with you.”Spike ask. ”Besides, I haven’t had a chance to explore the city yet.”

“Sure, you can,“ Twilight said, as she didn’t see a reason to not invite Spike along.

“ Just let me go change my clothes,“ Spike said as he went to his room. It took a minute or so before Spike left his room and wore his usual casual clothes, which comprised purple pants, a green t-shirt, and a purple jacket with the word dragon written on the back. He went downstairs and saw Twilight standing near the door, waiting for him. Once she heard him approaching, she turned in his direction. ”I am ready to go.”

“Ok, then let go.” Twilight said as she and Spike walked through the front door and began their walk through the city.
….
“Wow, you got to admit that Canterlot City is quite impressive when compared to our old home town, Pointyvile,"Spike said as he looked at the large buildings and the countless shops that were everywhere.

“I quite agree with you there, Spike." Twilight said, as she had to admit that even she was in awe at the number of shops and buildings that were in Canterlot City.

“Hey, look over there." Spike said, pointing to something. Twilight looked at the building and saw what spike was pointing at. It was a large building that was made from glass and steel and topped with a giant sculpture, made from iron and painted gloss black, that depicted a chess knight with a unicorn horn.

“What is that?” Twilight asks as she and Spike look at the building.

“That is Kirin Tower." A familiar voice spoke from behind them. The two turned, and Twilight saw it was sunset, who was with rainbow dash and pinkie pie, and in addition to them, she saw a girl she had never seen before with them.

Sunset was no longer wearing her school uniform but instead was now wearing a black leather jacket, a blue-green dress, blue jeans and black boots.

Pinkie is also no longer wearing her school uniform, but instead she is now wearing what can be described as a white seifuku, the kind that Japanese girls wore to school. It had a pink Kansai collar and two pink arm bands that were around both of her arms. In addition to that, she saw from the opening of the shirt that she was wearing a pink shirt underneath it, which had a white downside crescent shaped on it. She also wore a pink skirt and a pair of brown shoes with white knee-length shocks. Completing her outfit was a red bow that hung on her shirt.

Rainbow Dash was wearing a blue tank top and a purple open jacket, which had an image of a cloud with lightning coming out of it. She was also now wearing blue jogging pants and blue jogging shoes.

The new girl looks to be around her age. She has long, light pink hair that reaches her neck. For clothing, she wore what looked like a yellow sweater, brown pants, and brown shoes. What caught twilight attention the most was the shy look on her face.

“It is Canterlot City's most renowned landmark and tourist attraction.” Sunset said as she continued to explain the building. ”It contains five floors of shops and restaurants, four floors of attractions such as the aquarium and wax museum, several floors of offices, two television studios, and an observation deck from which one could look out over the city. The tower also boasted a large number of telestyles, camouflaged transmitters, and base arrays for most of the television, radio, and cell providers that serviced the city.”

“Wow, that sounds amazing.” Spike said.

“Of course it is amazing, hence why it is the city's most renowned tourist attraction.” Rainbow Dash said.

"Anyhow, Twilight, I thought you had family matters to attend to.” Sunset ask.

“Oh yeah, I just finished dealing with it.” Twilight said.

“By the way, who is the little guy?” Rainbow Dash asks now, noticing spike.

“Oh, this is my little brother, Spike." Twilight said as she introduced Spike to everyone. ”Say hello to everyone, Spike.”

"Hey,"Spike said.

"Well, in that case, nice to meet you, Spike. I am Pinkie Pie, and this is sunset shimmer, rainbow dash, and fluttershy.” Pinkie said as she introduced herself and everyone to Spike.

“What up.” Rainbow Dash said.

“Nice to meet you.” Sunset said.

"Hello,"Fluttershy said in a small voice that was almost impossible for anyone to hear.

Pinkie Pie then has a look of realization before turning her attention to Twilight. ”Oh, I forgot to introduce you to our friend Fluttershy.“ She then turned her attention to Fluttershy. ”Fluttershy, this is twilight; twilight, this is Fluttershy.”

“Greetings, Fluttershy.” Twilight said, greeting the girl.

“Hi,” Fluttershy said, still talking in a small voice, which confused Twilight on why the girl was speaking in a small voice.

"Sorry, Fluttershy is a bit shy, especially when dealing with new people.” Sunset said. "Anyway, Twilight, since it seems you and your little brother are free now, do you want to join us? We are about to get pizza. Do you want to come with us?”

Before Twilight could answer, Spike answered for her.

“Of course we can,” Spike said excitedly.

"Well, then let's go.” Sunset said as she and everyone began walking, and after a few seconds, Twilight and Spike followed them.

"Spike, why did you suddenly answer yes without discussion with me first?” Twilight whispers to her little brother.

“Oh, come on, Twilight; it’s pizza. Who could say no to that? And besides, you are already done with today's training; why not just enjoy yourself for a little while before you have to train again or fight another enemy?” Spike said, and Twilight has to agree that Spike had a point. So both siblings follow sunset and co. until they reach Kirin Tower.

“Wait, so we are going to Kirin Tower." Twilight ask.

"Yep," Pinkie Pie said. ”Kirin Tower has the best pizza place in the city.”
….
After using the elevator to get to the fifth floor, the group makes their way to a pizza restaurant. Twilight saw the sign on the restaurant and saw it was called Flim and Flam Pizza Restaurant, with images of what looked like two twin brothers holding a pizza.

The group walked into the restaurant, and after ordering their pizza at the counter, they went to sit at one of the tables that were near the window. This gives the group a clear view of the city. Twilight had to admit it was quite a beautiful view. She looked around at the restaurant and saw many kids and teens sitting on the table or walking around. They were either accompanied by their parents or other family members, or they came alone. She also saw that there was a play area for the young children and an arcade room where she saw many kids, teens, and some adults playing in it.

The group makes small talk as they wait for their pizzas to arrive. During this talk Twilight, learn more about the girls. Such as that rainbow dash, has a love for the book series Daring Do, which happens to be sunset and twilight favorite book series. She also learns that Fluttershy has a love for animals, and that she works in an animal shelter, and that she is the founder of the animal care club at school. As they talk, Twilight finds herself enjoying their company and is opening more and more towards them.

“Wait, so let me get this straight: one time you got so distracted with the book that you were reading that you accidentally walked into the bathroom where your older brother was still on the toilet, taking a dump.” Rainbow Dash said, laughing, which was mirrored by all the other girls and spike.

“You should have seen the look on shining face or the one Twilight had once she saw where she was,” spike said between laughter.

“Why did you have to tell them that?” Twilight said angry that spike would reveal such an embarrassing moment.

“Oh, come on, Twilight, it is quite funny.” Spike said as he laughed. Twilight's face blushed red as she remembered that moment. It was the most humiliating and embarrassing moment of her life. Luckily for her, before anyone could comment more, the pizza finally arrived.

The employee places the pizza on the table, and they instantly help themselves to it. The pizza they bought was half meat and half vegetables, as Twilight found out that Fluttershy was a vegetarian. After they were done eating, they paid for their food and left the restaurant. As the group was walking back to the elevator, it opened up, and out came four people. Two of them Twilight easily recognize. These two were none other than rarity and applejack.

Applejack is now wearing skirt overalls. The top half was light brown, and the skirt, which was long enough to reach her knees, was darker brown. She was also wearing dark-blown boots, and completing her look was the Stetson she wore on her head.

Rarity was wearing a white, low-cut dress that showed off a bit of her cleavage. She was wearing long white satin gloves, a pearl necklace around her neck, and completing her look were the white high heels she was wearing.

Both of the two girls had a look of surprise when they saw them.

“Well, howdy if it ain’t rainbow dash, pinkie pie, fluttershy, sunset shimmer, and the new girl's twilight sparkle.” Applejack said,

“Oh, hey, Twilight,“ rarity said, greeting Twilight.

“Oh, hey rarity,” Twilight said.

“You two already met." Sunset ask.

“Yeah, it was after the first day of school that I by chance met rarity in a jewelry shop,” Twilight said.

“Jewelry shop.” Rainbow Dash said. ”I didn’t know you were into jewelry.”

“I am not.” Twilight said. ”I saw a large crowd gathering at the shop, and out of curiosity, I went into it to see what was going on. It turns out they were giving out a huge discount on jewelry.”

“which turn out to be faked.” Rarity said, huffing in annoyance. ”It turns out it was a good thing you didn’t buy any of the jewelry, darling, since the next morning, after I woke up, I saw cracks appearing on them. I, along with many of the others who bought from there, went back to the shop to demand a refund, only to find it abandoned. We even made a report to the police, and after they did a few investigations, they couldn’t find any records of the jewelry shop or its owner. It seems it was all one big scam. Which is probably why they had such a huge sale. It was no doubt just to trick people into buying as much jewelry as possible so they could make a huge profit. The nerve of some people.”

“Yeah, that sounds horrible.” Twilight said. Of course Twilight knows what really happened was that since she killed Pula, the magic that was on the jewelry disappeared, and without the magic, there was nothing sustaining the jewelry any more. Of course, she was not going to tell rarity that.

“Anyhow, what are you guys doing here?” Applejack ask.

“Oh, me and my little brother Spike were going for a walk around the city when we by chance encountered Sunset and the others.” Twilight said before turning to spike. ”Say hi to Applejack and rarity spike.”

Spike didn’t say anything, as his eyes were on rarity. He had a lovestruck look on his face as he looked at rarity. ”Angels do exist.” Spike mutter.

“Spike,” Twilight said, causing Spike to snap out of his trance. Spike quickly shook his head clear and put his attention on the people in front of him.

“Um, hi, I am Spike Sparkle, “Spike said.

“It seems someone has a crush.” Pinkie Pie whispered to Rainbow Dash, who was chuckling.

“Well, howdy partner, my name is Applejack and this rarity.” Applejack said, introducing herself and rarity.

“Hello, darling,“ Rarity said.

“She calls me darling.” Spike said in a dreamy voice.

“Anyhow, what are you guys doing here?” Sunset ask.

“Oh, me and Applejack promised to take our little sisters to Kirin Tower." Rarity said as she and Applejack gestured to the other two people that came out of the elevator with them.

“This is my little sister, Applebloom.” Applejack said as she gestured to the girl who was called Applebloom.

“And this is my little sister, sweetie Bell." Rarity said as she gestured to the girl, who was called Sweetie Bell.

Both Twilight and Spike turned their attention to the two girls that were next to them.

Applebloom, from what Twilight can see, was a young girl who seemed to be around spike age. She had long red hair that reached her neck, and for clothing, she wore a green shirt, blue jeans, brown shoes, and on top of her head, a big red bow. As for Sweetie Bell, she seems to be of a similar age to Spike. She has long purple and pink curls hair. For clothing, she wore a white shirt with purple stripes, a purple jacket , a yellow skirt, pink shoes, and a pink headband.

“Hi sweetie bell, hi Applebloom.” Twilight greets the two girls.

“Now why don’t you two greet Twilight and her brother Spike?" Rarity said.

“Hi Twilight, hi Spike,“ Applebloom said, speaking in the same American western accent that Applejack has.

“Hi twilight, hi spike," Sweetie Bell said.

“Anyhow, what are you guys doing now.” Applejack ask.

“Me and Spike are going home now.” Twilight said.

“I am also going home too,” Sunset said.

“I am hitting the gym.” Rainbow Dash said.

“I need to go help at the animal shelter,” Fluttershy said.

“I need to go buy some part supplies.” Pinkie pie said.

“Well, in that case, we will see you all in school tomorrow.” Applejack said.

“Yeah, I guess we will.” Twilight said, and immediately everyone bid goodbye as they separated to go to their respective destinations.

“Today was a good day, wasn’t it twilight?“ Spike asked his older sister as the two were walking home.

"Yeah, I guess it was.” Twilight said, smiling.
….
That night, back in the flora shop, a figure could be seen on the roof of the shop. This figure was Gloriosa. She smiled as she looked at the night sky.

“It is about time I get started.” She said as her pupils turned green and her Scalia turned black. She raised one of her hands into the sky, and it glowed green.

All over the city, the plants that she had given glow green.
….
The next day at school, when twilight arrived at class, she saw that more than half of the students were absent.

“Where is everyone else?“ Twilight asks Miss cheerlie.

“It seems there is an outbreak going on as the parents of the students who were absent from class called this morning to inform us that their children were sick, and it seems that not only our class but most of the other classes have a majority of their students calling in sick. There were also some teachers absent today no doubt also sick.” Cheerlie said.

“Not just people from this school but also my little sister, Marble Pie, was also sick.” Pinkie Pie said.

“That is why I advise everyone to take proper steps to prevent yourself from being infected.” Miss Cheerlie said as Twilight took her seat. As cheerlie started the class lecture, Twilight couldn’t help but feel like something much bigger was happening.
….
School ended for the day. Twilight was packing her things when both Pinkie Pie and Rainbow Dash approached her.

“Hey Twilight! I am planning on following Pinkie Pie to her house to check up on her sister.” Rainbow Dash said. ”Do you want to come along?” Twilight was silent for a moment before giving her answer.

"Yeah, I think I will,“ Twilight said as she realized that this gave her a perfect opportunity to investigate what was really going on.
….
The three make their way to Pinkie Pie House, and after Pinkie unlocks the front door, they make their way inside. The three then make their way up the stairs and make their way to one of the doors upstairs.

“All right, marble room is right here.” Pinkie Pie said before turning her attention to everyone. ”Remember to give her your best supporting smile.” She then opened the door, and everyone entered the room.

Twilight saw that there were two people in the room. One of them was on the bed, and the other was sitting down on a chair next to the bed. The one on the chair was an older girl who seemed to be old enough to be in college. She has really long and straight purple hair, purple eye shadow, a dark red lip stick, a gray sweater, blue jeans, and black high-heeled boots. In addition to that, she has a bored expression on her face. The person on the bed was a girl who twilight presumed to be marble. Marble was a young girl who seemed to be around their age. She has long gray hair, with one side of her hair covering her face. From what Twilight could see, the girl wore matching gray pajamas. If Twilight were honest with herself, the girl looked almost identical to Pinkie Pie.

“Um pinkie You said Marble was your little sister, but she looks to be around our age.” Twilight ask.

“Oh, that is because Marble is my sister by a few minutes.” Pinkie Pie said cheerfully before turning her attention to the woman on the chair. “Hey, Maud, how is Mabel doing?”

“So far, no changes," Maud said in a monotone voice. She then turned her attention to twilight. ”Who is that?”

“Oh, this is my new friend, Twilight Sparkle." Pinkie Pie said introducing Twilight to the person now known as Maud. Pinkie then turned her attention to Twilight. ”Twilight, this is my big sister, Maud.”

“Um hi maud.” Twilight said, greeting the woman.

“Hi twilight,“ Maud said in her monotone voice. Twilight then turned her attention to Marble and immediately sensed something was wrong. She walked closer and immediately saw what it was. She saw that flowing in a small stream was life energy. She saw it was flowing from her body and going into a strange plant that was on the nightstand next to her.

“She doesn’t seem to be getting any better.” Rainbow Dash spoke as she got closer to examine Marble.

“I know,” Maud said. ”If she doesn’t get any better, I am going to take her to the hospital.”

“It seems I am the only one who can see the life energy.” Twilight, though. ”Make sense, as according to dad, only those who have affinity for magic are able to see them.”

“Um, excuse me, where did you get that plant, as I never see such a plant before?” Twilight ask.

"Oh, I got it for marble.” Maud said. ”Marble has a love for plants, so I got it for her from the new flora shop that recently opened.”

“Can you give me the address?” Twilight ask.

“ Sure.” Maud said as she brought out a paper and pencil from her pocket and began writing down the address of the shop. She then gave the paper to Twilight.

"Thanks,"Twilight said.

"You are welcome.” Maud said.

“Anyhow, I think I need to go now.” Twilight said. ”See you all in school tomorrow.

"Bye, Twilight, and thank you for coming along,” Pinkie Pie said, waving goodbye, with the others also saying goodbye. Twilight then left the room, and the sound of her walking down the stairs was heard. Eventually, they heard the sound of a door opening and closing, indicating Twilight had left. After twilight left, Pinkie Pie took a closer look at her sister and had a look of worry on her face as she saw her condition. Her thoughts were then interrupted by someone ringing on the doorbell.

“I get it,” Maud said as she got up and left the room to talk to the person at the door. The sound of someone talking was heard, and it wasn’t long before they heard Maud telling whoever it was to come in. It was quiet for a few moments before they heard the sounds of footsteps going up the stairs. Both Pinkie Pie and Rainbow Dash turned to the door entrance and saw Maud coming into the room with rarity, Fluttershy, and Applejack. "Pinkie, your friends are here.” After informing her, Maud then began walking out of the room. ”I am going downstairs to heat up the chicken soup Applejack brought.” After saying that, she left the room.

Pinkie then turned her attention to Applejack. ”Chicken soup,“ Pinkie Pie asks.

“Yeah, when I heard ya sister was sick, I called Granny Smith and asked her to prepare her famous chicken soup in advance.” Applejack said. ”I figured it might help ya sister to recover.”

"Thanks, Applejack," Pinkie Pie said, smiling.

“So are you guys here too to give Marble support?“ Rainbow Dash asks.

“Of course, darling, that is why I have us stop to buy some medicine to help you, sister.” Rarity said as she reached in her pocket and pulled out some medicine that she had bought early.

“And I make a get-well-soon card for you, sister, during break.” Fluttershy said as she brought out the card from her pocket.

“Thanks guys.” Pinkie Pie said as rarity and Fluttershy went to the nightstand to place the medicine and card. However, when rarity placed the medicine on the nightstand, she immediately noticed the plant on the nightstand.

“Um, pinkie, when did Marble get this plant?” Rarity ask.

“Maud got her this plant yesterday.” Pinkie pie, ask. ” Why.”

“No reason,” Rarity said as she had a thoughtful look on her face, which was noticed by rainbow dash.
….
Later that evening, rarity was walking back home. However, as she walks, she can’t help but think back to what she saw at marble room.

“Marble has the same plant. I gave Sweetie Bell, and according to Pinkie, she received the plant yesterday, which was the same time I gave Sweetie Bell the plant. And now Sweetie Bell and Marble fall sick at the same time.” Rarity though. ”This can’t be a coincidence." As rarity was walking away in thought, she then heard a familiar voice that got her attention. She turned and saw rainbow dash running towards her.

“Oh, hi dash.” Rarity said as her friend stood next to her. ”What is it you want.”

“I saw the look you had just now after Pinkie Pie told you when Maud got her that plant.” Rainbow Dash said. ”It looks like you know something, and I want to know what it is.”

Rarity stayed silent for a while, deciding whether or not she should tell Rainbow Dash what was on her mind. She ultimately decided to tell rainbow dash.

“I won’t say I know what is going on.” Rarity confess. ”That plant I saw on marble table was the same one I gave to Sweetie Bell yesterday.”

“And so?” Rainbow Dash asked, confused.

“Well, sweetie Bell is now sick; the same with Marble." Rarity said. ”Both of them fell sick the next day after receiving the same plant.” Hearing that rainbow dash realized what rarity was implying.

“Are you saying that the plant is somehow responsible for making Marble and Sweetie Bell sick?” Rainbow Dash said.

“It's just a hunch, but my gut feeling tells me it might be true.” Rarity said.

“So what now?” Rainbow Dash asks.

“ simple.” Rarity said. ”What we need to do is investigate what is really going on, and I know where to start.”

“And where is that?” Rainbow Dash asks.
….
“The Flora Shop." Discord said as currently he, Celestial, Luna, Spike, Twilight parents, and Twilight were in the living room of Twilight House. ”There is no doubt that the flora shop is where all the life energy is headed.”

“How are you sure?” Spike asked.

“Simple after Twilight gave me the address of the flora shop, I went to investigate it, and immediately, from a distance, I could sense dark magic from inside it.” Discord said.

“In addition to that, we have also done our own investigation by visiting the students who were absent from school on the excuse of a checkup on the sick students.” Luna said. ”It was during our checkup that we saw an unusual plant that matches twilight descriptions of the one she saw in marble room, and after a closer examination of it, we saw it was draining the life energy of the students.”

“And not just students but also teachers, as I also visited the teachers who were absent and saw in their houses the same unusual plant," Celestia said.

“This means the cause of everyone's sudden health problems is because their life energy is being drained." Twilight concluded.

“So now what?” Spike asked.

“Now Twilight needs to go to the flora stop and stop the monster that is responsible for the plants.” Luna said. ”We need to stop her before she drains too much life energy and endangers the students, teachers, and anyone who is unfortunate enough to receive her plant.”

“Right,” Twilight said, nodding.
….
Later that night, in Canterlot City, where all the shops were closed and all the people were at home, two figures could be seen from the alleyway. These two figures were currently eyeing the flora shop that was across from them. This figure was none other than rainbow dash and rarity.

“So that is the shop.” Rainbow Dash said. Currently, she was wearing all black attire, from her shirt and pants to a black hooded jacket. She then turned her attention to rarity. ”Quick question, rarity: why are you dressed like that?”

"It is because we are investigating what is going on, and so I decided to wear the appropriate attire needed for such a thing.” Rarity said. Currently, she was wearing a black trench coat and hat, the kind one would see in detective movies.

“Rarity, the whole point is to sneak in unnoticed,“ Rainbow Dash said. ”With the way you dress, you stick out like a sore thumb.”

“Well, I never,” Rarity complained, but was stopped by rainbow dash.

“Wait, I see something, "rainbow Dash said, and immediately, rarity followed rainbows gaze, and she saw what she was looking at. Walking towards the front of the shop was twilight.

“Twilight,“ Rainbow Dash said, confused, like rarity. ”What is she doing here?”

Twilight takes a look around before putting her hands towards the door knob. She closed her eyes and tried to remember what she learned from her training. After a second or two, the door was covered by a purple aura, which wasn’t going unnoticed by the two girls hiding in the alleyway. After a few seconds, the door opens by itself, and immediately after that, twilight enters the shop.

“What just happened?“ Rainbow Dash asked.

“I don’t know,“ Rarity said. "But we are going to find out.” Both girls quickly left the alleyway and began heading towards the shop.
….
Inside the shop, Twilight was walking around it to find clues on where the monster was located.

“The monster should no doubt be here somewhere,“ Twilight thought. ”I can sense something dark here. No doubt the dark magic discord sensed earlier.” She looks around and immediately notices a door, and quickly she senses something coming from it. She got closer and immediately realized what she was sensing: the dark magic that was coming from the room from behind the door. ”The monster is no doubt in that room.”

Twilight took a step back and immediately raised the hand that had the elements of magic in the air. “Elements of harmony, magic!” Instantly after saying that, a bright light covered her, and she transformed into her magical girl form. Unknown to her, hiding at the front door and watching her were rarity and rainbow dash, who stood in shock with their jaws dropping at what they just saw.

Twilight, who, after doing her transformation, opened the door and began making her way downstairs.

“Ok, you also saw that, didn’t you?” Rainbow Dash said.

“If you mean that I also saw Twilight do a magical girl transformation, then yes.” Rarity said.

“What now?” Rainbow Dash asks.

“Now we follow her; that’s what.” Rarity said as she and rainbow dash following twilight.
….
After going through the door, Twilight found herself now walking down a long staircase until she reached the end of the staircase. After reaching the end, she found herself in what seemed to be a basement that was filled with different kinds of plants, from flowers to potted trees. She saw that at the end of the room was a door. She quickly made her way to the door. She opened it and quickly entered it, and she was immediately shocked at what she saw once she entered the room. In the room was a large forest, which, given its size, shouldn’t be able to fit underground. She looked up and saw a clear blue sky, which was complete with white clouds.

“What is going on here?” Twilight thoughts before she realizes what is going on. ”I must be in some kind of pocket dimension. No doubt the monster is responsible for this. This also means I am closed.” Twilight went further into the forest. Shortly after going into the forest, two certain people enter through the door.

“What the?” Rainbow dash said in shock as she saw where the door leads.

“Ok, this is unusual,“ Rarity said.

“Really, what was your first clue?” Rainbow Dash said sarcastically.

“Oh, don’t give me that rainbow dash.” Rarity said. “Anyhow, we should get going. I don’t know why, but I have a feeling we shouldn’t stand around.”

“All right, then let’s go.” Rainbow dash said as she and rarity began walking into the forest.
….
Twilight continues to walk through the forest until she reaches the center of the forest. At the center of the forest, she saw a large portal on the ground, and surrounding it were four large blue trees. She looked closer and saw streams of life energies coming out of them and heading towards the portal.

“So that is where the life energy is heading.” Twilight said.

“And you must be the new user of the elements of harmony.” A voice said, and immediately, twilight, turn left and saw Gloriosa leaning on a tree. "It took you long enough.”

“You must be the one behind this,” Twilight said as she put her full attention on the woman. Unknown to her and Gloriosa, however, is that while they were busy putting their attention on one another, rarity and rainbow dash had just arrived and were hiding behind a tree.

“Yes, I am,” Gloriosa said as she began walking closer to Twilight. ”The name is Gloriosa, but you may call me Gaia everfree.” as soon as she said that her body was covered by a green aura, and slowly she was going through a transformation. Her hair had turned an ocean blue color with a lighter shade for streaks that glowed. Her eyes are black and have green circles instead of a pupil. Her tan skin turned into a mauve-purple. Her eye is covered with a magenta mask, and her eyebrows turn blue. Her outfit turned into a green dress-like shirt with green pants that reached her knees. Her dress was covered with purple plants, giving it a forest theme. She was also now wearing bark-colored gloves that reach her shoulders, and on top of her head is a headband that resembles a twig with a few leaves. Completing her look were the green boots she was now wearing. ” Prepared to meet your end.”

Twilight quickly held out one of her hands, and immediately a scepter appeared in her hand. After the scepter appeared, she fired a magical blast at Gaia, who simply held out a hand, and instantly a magical shield appeared, which blocked the attack. After she made the shield disappear, Gaia used her powers to summon vines and had them attack Twilight. However, the young girl reacted quickly, and trap them in a magical aura and quickly used her telekinesis to tie them to one another. Twilight then pointed a hand at Gaia and fired a magical blast at her. However, Gaia was able to dodge the attack with ease. After dodging the attack, Gaia pointed both of her arms at Twilight and immediately fired a magical beam at Twilight, who was quick enough to form a large barrier to protect her from the attack. However, even though the barrier was able to withstand the attack, the force of the attack managed to push her back with enough force that she was sent flying. She was sent flying with enough force that when she hit the tree that was behind it, she ended up splitting it into two. She continued to fly until she hit a large rock. She hit it with enough force to lift a large crack in it. After hitting it, the blast stop and twilight barrier disappear as she falls to the ground.

“Ow, that hurts.” Twilight said as she groaned in pain. As she got up, she took a look behind her and saw the cracks that were now on the rock. ”Yikes, I can’t believe I took all that, and all I got was back pain. I suppose if it wasn’t for the elements of harmony boosting my durability, I would have gotten more than just back pain.”

After saying that, Twilight can’t help but think back on what her parents said during her training. According to them, when she and the other user of the elements of harmony transform, their natural abilities increase greatly. From their agility,speed,strength,durability ,stamina ,reflex’s, as well as their natural senses such as eyesight's, smell's, and hearing, Twilight had to admit that if it weren’t for the boost that the elements of magic provided her, she would have no doubt be seriously hurt or, worse, dead by now. Twilight was brought out of her thoughts when she heard the sound of footsteps. She quickly looked in front of her and saw Gaia walking towards her.

"You are a lot more powerful than Pula.” Twilight said.

“You shouldn’t compare me to her.” Gaia said. ”Pula was a low-ranking member of the master army. She was at the bottom of the barrel. I, on the other hand, am a member of the four shadow elites.“

“The four shadow elites.” Twilight said confused.

“The four shadow elites are a group comprised of the most powerful and skilled members of the master army. Hand picked by general crypto himself.” Gaia boast. ”Of course you don’t have to worry about facing the other shadow elites since you are about to die here.” After saying that, Gaia fired a magical blast from one of her hands, and immediately Twilight dodged it and fired a blast from her scepter, which Gaia blocked by using her power to control a vine to block the attack. She then used her powers to summon more vines and had them go after Twilight, who managed to dodge each strike while also blasting a few of them with her magic. After blasting another vine, Twilight quickly covered the rock she hit early with a magical aura and lifted it into the air. She then threw it at Gaia, who simply destroyed the rock with a magical blast. She then turned her attention to Twilight and fired a magical blast at her. Luckily, Twilight was able to dodge the attack. “Let’s see if you can dodge this.” After saying that, she lifted her hands in the air, and a large number of leaves appeared in the air. One of them went forward towards Twilight and zip past her, leaving a scratch mark on it. She put a finger on it and felt that it was bleeding. She turned and saw Gaia motioning her hands towards her, and immediately all the leaves went towards her. Quickly, Twilight formed a barrier that protected her. However, they keep coming, and Twilight knew she couldn’t hide forever in the barrier as eventually she would run out of energy, and once that happened, the barrier would disappear, leaving her vulnerable to her attack.

However, unknown to Gaia, as she was distracted with twilight, two figures were making their way towards her. She didn’t notice them until one of them put a hand on her shoulder. Feeling the sudden touch, she turned to see who it was that touched her, and immediately after turning, she was greeted with a fist to the face. The sudden impact caused her to lose her concentration, which caused the leaves to disappear. Inside the barrier, Twilight was shocked as she saw the last two people she expected to see.

“Rainbow Dash, rarity." Twilight said in shock as she made the barrier disappear.

Gaia, who was still recovering from the shock of being punched, didn’t see the feet that were aimed at her face until it connected. The impact caused her to fall on her back on the ground. As Gaia tried to get up, Rainbow Dash punched her again and again in the face, and rarity was kicking her again and again.

“You do not mess with our friend.” Rainbow dash said as she threw another punch at Gaia. However, she managed to catch the punch this time. She squeezed the hand, causing Rainbow to scream in pain.

“Rainbow Dash,“ Rarity said in shock. This moment of distraction was all Gaia needed as she grabbed rarity foot and pulled, causing the girl to fall to the ground. Gaia quickly stood up and toss them towards twilight direction. The two hit Twilight, and immediately all three fell to the ground in a pile.

“Good attempt.” Gaia said. ”But not good enough.” Immediately after saying that, Gaia fired another magical blast at them. Luckily, Twilight was able to quickly get up and form a magic shield to protect them.

“Quick, let’s go.” Twilight said as rarity and rainbow dash got up. After saying that, all three quickly ran away to get somewhere safe.

“Oh no, you don’t.” Gaia said as she was about to give chase to them. As she ran towards them, she raised one of her hands and was about to fire at twilight. This didn’t go unnoticed by rarity.

“Oh no, I got to help Twilight." Rarity, though, as she quickly tries to think of a way to help Twilight. An idea suddenly struck her, and she immediately grabbed the pearl necklace that was on her neck. ”I hate to waste a perfectly good necklace, but this is for the best,” Rarity pull the necklace off her neck and tossing it on the ground in front of Gaia, causing the necklace to spill on the ground. This in turn caused Gaia to step on them, causing her to slip and fall to the ground on her back, and as soon as she fell on her back, she accidentally fired into the air. While that was going on, Twilight and the others were able to escape to a safe distance.
….
After getting to a safe distance, all three took the time to catch their breath.

“You ok, Twilight?" Rainbow Dash asks Twilight.

“Yeah, I am ok.” Twilight said before she suddenly had a look of realization. She then turned her attention to rainbow dash. ”Wait, how can you know it's me? The transformation glamour should have prevented you from recognizing it was me.”

“Glamour, what are you talking about?” Rarity asked confused which was mirrored by rainbow dash.

“Glamour refers to a power spell that is automatically activated when I transform,“ Twilight explained. ”According to my parents, it was supposed to prevent anyone from recognizing me. The only way for it to not work is if someone manages to use a spell to undo it, see me transform, or if I inform them of my identity.”

“Well, we kind of see you transform earlier.” Rainbow Dash said.

“Oh, that makes sense.” Twilight said before another question popped into her mind. ”Wait, what are you guys doing here?”

“Well, we were investigating the shop since rarity suspects the shop is somehow responsible for the sudden illness that is going on in the school.” Rainbow explain.

"How did you come to that conclusion?” Twilight ask.

“Well, I came to visit Pinkie Pie this afternoon along with Applejack and Fluttershy to check on marble when I saw the plant that was on the nightstand next to her bed.” Rarity explain. ”It was the same plant I gave to Sweetie Bell, who has also fallen sick. I asked Pinkie Pie when Marble received that plant, and she told me she received it yesterday. The fact that both Marble and Sweetie Bell fell sick at the same time after receiving the same plant tells me that the plant was responsible for their sickness. And given what we just saw, I was right, weren’t I?”

“Yes, you were.” Twilight said not bothering to come up with an excuse.

“So what is going on here exactly?” Rainbow Dash asks.

“It's a long story, but all you need to know is that I need to stop that monster before it can do any serious harm.” Twilight said. ”Hence, I need you two to get to somewhere safe, as it is dangerous for you two to be here, and as it is, only I have the means to defeat that monster.”

“What, but we can’t just leave you here?” Rainbow Dash protested.

“Rainbow Dash, you saw what that monster is capable of." Twilight said. ”It’s too dangerous for you two to be here right now.”

“I think she is right.” Rarity said as she turned to rainbow dash. ”As it stands, we don’t have the means to help Twilight, and we will only get in twilight way if we stay.” Rainbow Dash stays silent for a second before sighing.

“Fine, we leave.” Rainbow Dash said.

"You are not going anywhere,“ Gaia said as she suddenly appeared in front of everyone. Twilight quickly tried to aim her scepter at Gaia, but before she could fire, Gaia used her power to make a vine grab one of her legs from behind her and have it pull her leg. This causes Twilight to fall face-first on the ground.

“ Twilight.” Rainbow Dash and rarity said.

“You should be more worried about yourself.” Gaia spoke as she fired a magical blast at rarity. Rainbow dash without thinking quickly jumped in front of rarity to shield her from the blast.

“Rainbow Dash, rarity." Twilight shouted. As she shouted, she didn’t notice her bracelets glow, and immediately after glowing, two balls of light came out of the bracelet and headed towards rainbow dash and rarity. Their cover both rarity and rainbow dash wrist, and immediately after covering their wrist, a large shield covered their entire body, which protected them from the blast. This shocked everyone as they stood in shock.

“What just happened?” Rainbow Dash said as she and rarity looked at the shield that was on their bodies in shock. They then notice the ball of light on their wrist. When the light disappeared, they saw that they were wearing bracelets on their wrists. The bracelets almost look identical, with the only difference being that the gem on rainbow dash bracelet resembled a thunderbolt and the gem that was on rarity resembled a diamond.

“What just happened?“ rarity said as she and rainbow dash examined the bracelet on their wrists. Twilight, who saw the bracelet, realized what had happened, and quickly, after pulling free from the vines and getting up, turned her attention to the two girls.

“Girls concentrate and follow your instinct.” Twilight yells, gaining the two girls attention.

“ What.” Rainbow Dash asked, confused, which was mirror by rarity.

“Just do what I say.” Twilight said. ”Please just trust me.”

“Ok,” rarity said as she and Rainbow Dash closed their eyes and concentrated. After doing that, they can instantly feel what their instinct is telling them to do. Following what their instincts were telling them, both rainbow dahs and rarity raised the hand that had the bracelet in the air and said the words that came to mind.

“Elements of harmony, generosity.” Rarity shouted.

“Elements of harmony, loyalty “ rainbow dash shouted.

After shouting, the two entire bodies were covered by a bright light, and immediately after it died down, it revealed rainbow dash and rarity who were now wearing different outfits.

Rainbow Dash was now wearing a red sleeveless dress like shirt with the skirt of the outfit stopping near her legs. The outfit also has two golden shoulder pads on both sides. She was also wearing light blue pants and yellow and blue shoes, which have wings on them. In addition to that, on both of her wrists, she was wearing two golden bracelets that covered her entire wrists and a golden belt that had a thunderbolt belt buckle that looked completely similar to the gem on the bracelet. What stood out most, however, were the two ethereal wings on her back.

Rarity, on the other hand, was wearing a blue dress with purple short sleeves. The skirt of the dress reaches just above rarity knees. In addition to that, she was wearing pants that were dark purple and a dark and light purple wristband on both of her hands. She was also wearing dark purple high-heeled boots, which at the front were decorated with images of four diamonds. She was also wearing a light purple belt, which, like rainbow dash, had a belt bucket that resembled the gem on the bracelet, which in this case, unlike rainbow dash, which was a thunderbolt, the buckle on rarity belt was a diamond. What stood out most, however, was the gold headband on her forehead, which had a single purple gem in the middle of it.

“What just happened?” Rainbow Dash said as she and rarity examined they new outfit.

“The elements of loyalty and generosity.” Gaia said in shock before clenching her fist. ”It seems I underestimated the threat you two opposed. Well, that is a mistake I am planning to fix now.” She fired a magical blast at the two again. However, Twilight got in front of them and formed a shield to protect them.

“Twilight, what happened?" Rainbow Dash asked, confused, which was mirror by rarity.

“You two had become the new users of the elopements of loyalty and generosity.” Twilight said as she made the barrier disappear and fired a magical blast at Gaia, who managed to dodge the attack.

“Does this mean we are magical like you, darling?” Rarity ask.

“Yes, you are.” Twilight said.

“But not for long.” Gaia said as she makes a large number of leaves appear in the air and motioned for them to head towards them. The three quickly ran and hid behind a tree, which was being slowly cut down by the razor-sharp leaves.

“What now?” Rarity said.

“Now we kick butt, that’s what.” Rainbow Dash said. ”We have powers now, which means we can fight.”

“I think you might be right,“ Twilight said. ”Gaia is too strong for me to take down by myself, but if all three of us work together, then maybe we might win.”

“And how are we supposed to fight exactly?” Rarity said. ”Our magical transformation didn’t come with instructions on how to fight.”

"Actually, technically, it did.” Twilight said. ”I need you two to do the same thing earlier, which is concentrate and follow your instincts. By doing that, you will be able to know how to fight.”

“Well ok.” Rarity said as she and Rainbow Dash closed their eyes to concentrate. After doing that, they can instantly feel once again what their instinct was telling them to do. It was telling them how to fight.
….
“You can't hide behind there forever.” Gaia said as she controlled the leaves to continue to attack the tree they were hiding behind. Suddenly, out of nowhere, a large diamond-hand fan suddenly appeared in front of the tree, shielding it from the razor-sharp leaves. ”What the?”

Before Gaia could process what she just saw, the fan suddenly blew the leaves back towards her direction. Seeing the leaves heading in her direction, Gaia quickly used her hands to cover herself as the leaves cut through her body, leaving deep wounds on her body. After the last leaves went past her, she put her arms down just in time to be rammed by a flying rainbow dash. The force of the ram was so strong that there went through countless trees until their stopped once their hit a large boulder.

“This might come as a shock.” Rainbow Dash said as she grabbed Gaia by the shoulders and immediately lighting course through her body, causing Gaia to scream in pain. After the lightning subsided, Rainbow Dash grabbed Gaia by one of her hands and tossed her behind her and into rarity, who used her magic to form a giant diamond mallet, which she used her magic to lift into the air and hit Gaia into the air. As Gaia screamed while in the air, rainbow dash flew into the air after her and flew next to her. Before Gaia could do anything, Rainbow Dash fired a lightning attack at her, causing her to scream in pain. Once that was done, Rainbow Dash punched her with a lightning-embedded fist, which sent her back to the ground. She crash-landed on the ground, and just when she stood up, she saw rarity fire a magical blast that came out of the gem in her headband. Gaia was able to quickly avoid the attack. However, before she could attack rarity, she was caught in a magical aura courtesy of Twilight, who lifted her in the air and slammed her on the ground over and over again. She then tosses Gaia aside, who finds herself heading towards Rainbow Dash, who landed in front of her. She punched Gaia with a lightning-embedded fist, which had enough force to send her flying into the air and into rarity, who fired a magical blast from her headband, which sent her flying again, and into Twilight, who fired a magical blast at her, which sent her flying again.

While in the air, Rainbow Dash flew after her, grabbed her by the legs, and began spinning while using her powers to shock Gaia with lightning. She then let go, and Gaia found herself falling again. She landed on the ground face-first. As she got up, she saw a large diamond shuriken heading towards her. She managed to move out of the way at the last second. However, she wasn’t able to move quick enough as the shuriken managed to cut through her left arm, resulting in a large gushed of white blood coming out of her. As she screamed in pain, Rainbow Dash suddenly landed behind her and grabbed her by the leg. She then uses her wings to fly off in another direction while dragging Gaia onto the forest ground. After stopping, she then tosses her into a tree. She hit the tree and fell to the ground, and as she got up, rainbow dash zapped her, causing her to scream in pain and fall to the ground again.

“It is about time we end this.” Twilight said as she pointed her scepter towards Gaia. She gathered as much energy as she could and fired a large magical beam at Gaia. The beam struck Gaia, who screamed in agony as her body was being destroyed.

“This isn’t over.” Gaia scream. ”We will meet again.” After saying that her entire body was destroyed, leaving nothing behind, as soon as that was done, the beam subsided.

“So is it over.”Rainbow Dash asks.Her answer came in the form of a white light covering the sky, which slowly expanded until it covered the entire forest. Once the light died down, everyone found themselves in a small room.

"Yep, it is over.” Twilight said, sighing in relief.

“Um, sorry to bother you, darling, but you still own us an explanation.” Rarity said.

“Oh yeah, I almost forgot." Twilight said as she turned her attention to the two girls. ” Just follow me home, and I will explain everything. But first, you should change back.”

“Um how?” Rarity ask.

“Just concentrate and will yourself back to normal.” Twilight said, and immediately after saying that, the two did as instructed, and immediately the two were covered in a blight light, and immediately once the light died down, they turned back to normal.

“That was easy.” Rainbow Dash said as Twilight also turned herself back to normal.

"Anyhow, I think we should go now.” Twilight said as she and everyone exited the basement and eventually out of the shop. However, unknown to them, as they exited the shop, a figure could be seen standing on top of the building that was across from the shop. The figure wore a black hooded scarf, a light black trench coat, dark black gloves, boots, and pants. What stood out most, however, was the white mask with gold designs on it that covered his entire face.

“So those are the new users of the elements of harmony.” The figure said. ”What an interesting bunch.” As he watched Twilight, Rarity, and Rainbow Dash walk away, he sensed two presents suddenly appearing behind him. He turned and saw two figures behind him. The darkness of the night makes it impossible to see their features, but what is visible are their two glowing red eyes.

“ Took you buffoons long enough.” The figure said, ”What took you so long?”

"Sorry, Lord, descent sir, but it took a while for me to procure the lunar crystal.” One of the figures spoke.

“Where is it now?” The figure, now known as descent, said.

“It is back in the hideout.” The figure spoke.

“ Excellent.” Descent said before turning his attention to the other figure. “And how is our queen doing?”

“She has returned home safely.” The other one spoke.

“ Good.” Descent spoke. ”And make sure to keep an eye out on her and inform me if anything happens to her.”

“I will, sir.” The figure spoke in an enthusiastic tone. ”You can count on me.”

“Count on you? Oh, please, you and your friend there are pathetic. But with our current limited numbers and resources, beggars can’t be choosers.” Descent said as he turned and looked at the full moon.

“So what now?” One of the figures spoke.

“Now we wait and buy our time.” Descent said as he continued to stare at the moon. ”As things stand, we cannot afford too much attention, at least not yet. But soon, when the time is right, our queen shall return to her former glory, and once that happens, we can finally leave the shadows.” As he said that he put one of his hands towards the full moon and clenched it. ”And retake what is rightfully ours.”
….
“So that is the full story.” Luna said as she, Celestia, Spike, Twilight parents, Twilight, Rainbow Dash, and rarity sat on one of the sofas in twilight living room.

“Wait, so there is an evil king who is planning on invading earth, and unless something is done, he is going to enslave earth.” Rainbow Dash asks.

“Yep, that is exactly what is going on." Celestia said. ”Anyhow, now that you two have become the users of the elements of loyalty and generosity, I ask you to please help us with our cause. I know this is too much to ask, but please help us.” The two stay silent for a second before Rainbow Dash answers her.

“Of course we will help you.” Rainbow Dash said with rarity, nodding in agreement. ”No evil king is going to invade our home and get away with it.”

“I agree with you, their darling, as I refuse to stand idle by and let this brute invade the earth.” Rarity said.

“Thank you.” Celestia said, smiling, before turning her attention to Twilight. "Anyhow, Twilight, now that you found the other two users, we now have a much better chance of defeating Sombra. However, I must warn you that the battle has only just begun and it will continue to become more harder as time goes on. So I advise you and everyone to be careful.

“Don’t worry, Celestia, we will.” Twilight said.
….
Back in the small room that was in the basement, the door leading into it opened, and a large blue frog-like man entered it. After going into the room, he moved a few boxes aside until he found what he was looking for. Which was Gaia everfree severed arm.

"I found it.” The frog man said as he picked the arm up. After he picked up the arm, he pointed the palm of his hand in a random direction, and a large, dark portal opened up. He then entered the portal.
….
In the castle, back in the netherworld, a portal opened up in one of the rooms, and out came the frog creature. The portal closed as soon as he exited it. As he continued to walk through the room, he stopped once he saw Crypto standing in front of him.

“Did you have it?” Crypto asks.

“Yes, I have it.” The frog said as he showed him the hand.

“Good, I guess you aren't as useless as I previously thought.” Crypto said.

“May I ask why you want this severed arm?” The frog asked.

“Don’t you know anything about my ability, Gluto?” A voice said, and immediately the frog, now known as Gluto, quickly looked around to find the source of the voice.” Over here.” Gluto heard where the voice was coming from, looked down, and saw it came from the arm. He put the arm in front of his face and dropped in shock at what he saw as on the palm of the hand was a face that resembled Gaia.

“What the heck is this?” Gluto asked in shock as the arm stood up.

“Fun fact: one of my abilities is that I can regenerate from anything as long as a single piece of me is still intact.” Gaia said. ”However, the down side is that I will be in a weak state until I manage to fully regenerate, hence why you were sent to pick me up as I couldn’t open a portal right now.“

“Well, look who is still alive.” A voice spoke, and immediately everyone turned in the direction of the voice. In the darkness of the castle, three figures can be seen. However, their features were covered by the darkness of the castle, making it hard to see them clearly.

“I am beginning to wonder how someone like you managed to become a member of the four shadow elites.” One of the figures said.

“I like to see you try fighting all three elements users at once.” Gaia said.

“You know, I think I will if you are that insistent on me gaining all the glory that I will get from their deaths." The figure walked out of the shadow, revealing that the person who was talking was a woman who seemed to be around thirty. If one word could be used to describe her, it would be beautiful, as the woman has a beautiful face and a perfect figure—the kind one would expect a model to have. She has long hair that are colored strong cerulean with moderate arctic blue streaks. She wore a dress that was dark purple and black, and in addition to that, she wore light green gloves and black high heels. She also had red lipstick and black eyeshadow.

“As if I will let you take the fame for yourself, Juniper.” One of the other figures said as she walked out of the shadow. The figure looks to be a teenage girl who seems to be around 18 or so. She has short, wavy hair that is colored grayish crimson to light magentaish gray with light gray streaks. She wore black pants, shoes, and a white short sleeve shirt, and on her back was a black cape.

“Now, vignette, there is no need for you and Juniper to fight, as we all will have our turn dealing with the user of the elements of harmony.” The last figure walked out of the shadow, revealing that it was a young teenage boy who seemed to be 14 or so. He was dressed like a jester, with his clothing consisting of a yellow and brown bodysuit with a small brown cape. He wore a yellow jester's hat with small bells on it. On his face, he wears a white half-masque mask that hides his eyes.

“Joker is right in that regard.” Crypto said. ”Our battle with the user of the elements of harmony is far from over, as this battle has only just begun.” As crypto said that his eyes glowed red with malice. ”We might have lost in our previous battle against them, but this time we will win.”

….
End of chapter 2.

Author's Note

Sorry for the late update everyone. I would have published this chapter early but I need to work on my other story and in addition to that I encounter some problems when writing those stories which in turn cause it to took me longer to finish writing them.

Anyhow the idea of Kirin tower came from friendship is magical girl which is another magical story. I will leave a link right here in case you want to read it. I recommend that you do as it is quite good.

Anyhow in case you can’t tell the inspiration for rarity and rainbow dahs clothing came from they crystal guardians forms. I should mention I am bad in describing clothes so I try to describe it the best I can. Speaking of rainbow dash and rarity. In case you miss it like in cannon the two actually did something that make them worthy to use the elements.

Rarity in this case sacrifice her pearl necklace in order to prevent twilight from being hit by Gaia and rainbow dash didn’t hesitate to use herself as a shield to protect rarity who she consider as her friend.

Also as you can see their is now a mystery third party who have they own plans. Can anyone guess who is the queen descent was talking about.

Here a fun fact descent appearance was inspired by shadowy figure from ok ko let’s be heroes.

Anyhow I need to work on my guardians of harmony stories now.

Don’t forget to leave a comment on what you think of my story so far.
