Power of Harmony

“Dark Element of Magic?”

That was in the mind of everypony in the area, no pony could have expected this, especially Shining Armour, who looked at his sister, or what he thought was his sister.

“Twilight what are you doing?” Shining Armour asked, afraid of what might the black unicorn was going to do. The black unicorn looked at the captain of the guard with a glare.

“I already told you, my name is Dawn, Twilight Sparkle is the pitiful version of me, now stand back you foals, I have to teach this dragon who he should bow down to,” Dawn said, her voice sounded regal, but had a venom running through each word she said, she walked to the black dragon, who stared at her with laughter in his eyes, this puny pony was going to make him, bow down to her?  Dawn’s horn glowed with a dark purple, ready to use her magic.  The dragon, thinking that this was going to be easy, brought down his claws, ready to flatten her to the ground; the black mare just stared with un-amused eyes, and gave a light smirk.  She teleported away from the spot and appeared right behind the dragon.

“Really, is that the best you can do?  A blind pegasus can hit me more than you can,” Dawn tauntingly said, her mouth in a huge mocking smirk.  The dragon swung its tail at the mare, but was blocked by a dark purple force field, Dawn then teleported on top of the snout, where she stared at the dragon in the eyes.

“You know, those red don’t suit you, I think I’ll like them better if they were black,” Dawn said, she then shot a beam of magic into the dragons right eyes, the dragon reeled back in pain and roared, throwing the black mare off him. Dawn smirked and teleported back to the ground.  The dragon glared at Dawn with his one eye, and breathed fire, Dawn shot a beam of magic which went right threw the fire, hitting the dragon right in the mouth, the beam going through the back of his head.  The dragon fell to the ground unconscious, the black scales disappearing, bringing back his green scales, the hole in the back of his head healed back up, leaving a scare in its place.

The ponies looked in fear and awe at what happened, this mare, what used to be Twilight Sparkle, took down the dragon all by herself.  Dawn, unsatisfied by the fact that the dragon didn’t die, walked up to him, her horn glowing with magic.

“Dawn, what in the hay are you doing?” Rainbow Dash asked.

“Simple, I’m finishing off the dragon,”

The five mares looked at her in surprise; she was going to kill the dragon?  But it was unconscious, it couldn’t even fight back.  The five ran in front of Dawn and got into defences positions, or in Fluttershy’s case, behind Rainbow Dash.

“You shouldn’t kill this dragon you big meanie, it probably didn’t know what it was doing,”  Pinkie Pie exclaimed, Dawn looked at the five mares and laughed.

“So, you five are going to fight me to protect this dragon?  Please you don’t even stand a chance!” Dawn exclaimed, the magic around her horn increased, and the five mares got ready to attack. Dawn ran at them her horn pointing at them, but was stopped by a golden force field.

“Dawn that is enough, you should go back into Twilights mind,” A voice called out, and Princess Celestia landed right in front of Dawn, Dawn sneered at the white alicorn.

“And what if I don’t Celestia?”

Celestia, smiling, took out the Element of Magic, Dawn suddenly got fear in her eyes, and backed away.

“No, you wouldn’t dare,” Dawn said, just looking at it was making her lose her power over Twilight Sparkles body.

“Dawn, I am getting my student back, one way or another,”

Dawn growled and looked at Celestia.

“Fine, I will go back into her mind, but that doesn’t mean I’ll stay there,” Dawn said menacingly, a black aura surrounded her body, and when it disappeared, Twilight Sparkle stood in its place, the purple mare looked around confused.

“Uh… Why is the dragon unconscious, and what are you doing here?” Twilight Sparkle asked, her five friends looked at her with shock.

”You mean you don’t remember?” Rarity asked, Twilight Sparkle began to get scared.

“No, remember what?”

“Twilight, you turned into this black unicorn that called herself Dawn, and took down the dragon like it was nothing,” Rainbow Dash said, the purple unicorn looked at her friends and teacher, than to the dragon, than back to the six in front of her.

“I did this?”

“Yes and no Twilight,” Princess Celestia said, the six mares looked at her in confusion.

“What do you mean?” Twilight Sparkle asked.

“Come with me, and I’ll explain to all of you,”

Celestia walked back to her castle, with the six mares following her.  On one of the destroyed buildings, a Dark Pegasus watched as the seven walked away, and looked at the dragon.

“I must tell Lord Tirek about this,” he said to himself, he went into the air and flew to the Dragon’s Land.

In the castle, Princess Celestia lead the six mares into the library, she shut the door and locked it.

“Okay Princess, tell us what happened to Twilight,” Rainbow Dash demanded, and got a quick glare from Rarity, Twilight Sparkle, and Applejack.

“Well Rainbow Dash, what happened to Twilight during the dragon attack was the result of the Dark Element of Magic,”

“Princess, what is the Dark Element of Magic?” Fluttershy asked.

“The Dark Element of Magic is one of the six Dark Elements of Harmony, a power stronger than the elements in their normal form,”

The six mare’s eyes widened when they heard this, there was a power in the Elements of Harmony that they didn’t know about, and it was stronger.

“But why did Twilight turn into Dawn?” Rainbow Dash asked.

“During the battle, something must have happened to cause Twilight to gain access to the Dark Element, but the Dark

Element has a mind of its own, which was the result of Dawn,”

The five mares and the white alicorn looked at Twilight Sparkle.

“Twilight, what happened before you turned into Dawn?”

“Well I saw what was happening to my friends, and I became angry, than something in me snapped,” Twilight Sparkle explained, Princess Celestia gave a knowing nod and went back to her explanation.

“It has seem that Twilights anger caused Dawn to become free of her prison, any negative emotion will cause the Dark Elements to become stronger, causing them to take over the body,”

“Princess Celestia, if the Dark Elements are so powerful and have a mind of its own, why did Dawn look at the Element of Magic with fear?” Twilight Sparkle asked.

“Well Twilight, deep within the Elements is a far stronger power, the Light Elements of Harmony, Dawn felt the Light Element and became scared,”  the six mares took this in with surprised looks on their faces, Light Elements of Harmony?

“Princess Celestia, you said that Dawn broke free of her prison, is she trapped in my mind or something?”

“Yes Twilight, she is, but do not worry she will not come out unless you are overcome by negative emotions, or allow her to come out,” the purple unicorn sighed in relief, knowing that Dawn cannot break out on her own, she was going to ask Princess Celestia more questions but was interrupted when Princess Luna teleported in, fear plastered on her face.

“Luna , what’s wrong?” Princess Celestia asked.

“Tia, I talked to the dragon, and found out something terrible, Tirek has escaped his prison”

The white alicorns sat down, fear on her face,”

“No this is not possible, no pony could have found his prison, only we know where he is,”

“Princess Celestia, who is Tirek?” Twilight Sparkle asked, afraid of why the two princesses were so scared.

“Back when mine and Luna’s mother, Laur Faustia, ruled Equestria, an evil centaur who went by the name of Tirek, who could control anypony, even the most powerful of creatures, he brought his army to Equestria in hopes to make his new empire.  Thankfully Laur Faustia used the Elements of Harmony to imprison him in the Dragon Land, in a mountain that only my mother, me, and Luna knew the location of,”

“How powerful is Tirek?”

“He has more power than Discord could ever imagine,”

The news hit the six mares like a brick wall, a creature more powerful than Discord?  That couldn’t seem possible.

“Twilight, you and your friends must go out and find Tirek, stop him from creating his army,” Princess Celestia said.

“What!?  But he could be anywhere, he could be in Equestria, Dragon Land, The Griifen Empire, anywhere!” Rainbow

Dash exclaimed.

“I know, but this must be done, I will send you back to Ponyville, get ready for the long journey ahead, and Twilight I want to talk to you,”

“Yes Princess Celestia,”

In the Dragon Land, Tirek watched as his Dark Army went to the neighboring countries; he heard someone land behind him and looked to see the Dark Pegasus he sent to Canterlot.

“Tell me Night Wing, was the attack a success?”

“I’m afraid not Lord Tirek, the dragon was beaten, by an unicorn mare,”

Tirek looked at the Dark Pegasus with disbelief.

“You mean to tell me, that the Dark Dragon was beating by a weak unicorn mare!?”

“But Lord Tirek, the mare was the holder of one of the Elements!”

This caught Tireks attention; he looked back at his army and said.

“Take 5 Dark Ponies with you, find the ponies that hold the Elements of Harmony and kill them,”

“Understood Lord Tirek,” Night Wing flew away and Tirek was once again by himself.

“If I am to conquer Equestria, I must first defeat the Elements of Harmony, than nothing can stop me,”
