Power of Harmony

Bold texts are the mane six thoughts.

Italic Texts are the Dark Elements thoughts.

At the train station, Fluttershy, Pinkie Pie, Rarity, Applejack, and Rainbow Dash were waiting for Twilight Sparkle, as they were waiting they were talking about the journey they were about to go on.

“Wow, can you believe that we will go around the world to find Tirek and stop him?” Rainbow Dash asked, personally she was excited by the fact that she will travel the world, but deep inside she was going to miss Ponyville, especially Scootaloo, the orange filly that always looked up to her.

“Well Rainbow, I am not happy about this, I will have to leave the farm and my family, and I don’t want them to think that I will never come back,” Applejack said, she thought about her family at the farm, and how they will react to the news.

“But what about the Dark Elements of Harmony, you heard what Princess Celestia said, they have a mind of their own, what if they take our bodies over?” Rarity asked.

“Don’t worry Rarity as long as we have each other, we will be able to stop the Dark Elements, and Tirek!” Pinkie Pie said in her usual optimistic tone, the others couldn’t help but agree with the hyperactive pink pony.

“Hi girls, I’m here!” A voice yelled, the five mares turned to the source and saw Twilight Sparkle walk up to them, and she had a saddle bag on her back.

“Hey Twi, what’s in the bag?” Applejack asked, the purple unicorn used her magic to open the bag and brought out the Elements of Harmony.  Everyone gasped when they saw them.

“Twilight! Did you steal the Elements of Harmony!?” Rarity yelled.

“No, Princess Celestia gave them to me, when she and I went into a separate room to talk, she gave me the Elements so that we could stop Tirek when we find him, and for the Dark Element,” Twilight Sparkle explained, her friends looked at her questionly.

“Okay Twi, I get the Tirek part, but what does this have to do with the Dark Elements?  Other than threatening them with it?” Applejack asked.  The purple unicorn was about to answer, but was interrupted by the conducter telling everypony to get on the train.

“I’ll tell you when we get to Ponyville,” Twilight sparkle said and got on the train, Fluttershy followed her into one of the cars, Pinkie Pie and Rarity went into another, and Applejack and Rainbow Dash went into another one, after all the ponies got onto to the train, the train drove off to Ponyville, on the train station roof, Night Wing looked down at the moving train, and looked at his Dark Unicorn companion.

“Any idea where they are going Blood Horn?”

Blood Horn, named because of his blood red horn and magic, looked at the direction the train was going.

“They are going to Ponyville, these tracks will only go to that town,” Blood Horn said, behind him a sick chuckle was heard.

“Oh I can’t wait to meet these mares, they probably look as good on the inside as they do on the outside, of course there is only one way to find out,” a stallion Earth pony said, chuckling at himself.

“Insane Laughter, before we kill them we have to destroy the Elements of Harmony, they are the only thing that can stop Lord Tirek,” Night Wing Pointed out, he looked at the far away town of Ponyville.

“Blood Horn, how long will it take for us to get to Ponyville?”

“It will take us 2 hours on hoof, but 2 seconds by teleportation,” Blood Horn answered, and he teleported the himself and the five other Dark Ponies to Ponyville.

Twilight Sparkle was looking out her window, seeing the landscape go by, her face went into a frown from seeing it.

“I never realized how beautiful this looked before, I guess this has to do with the fact that my friends and I will be leaving,”

The purple unicorn looked away from the window and stared at Fluttershy, who hasn’t said a word since the train took off.

“Fluttershy, is something wrong?”

“No Twilight. Nothing is wrong,” Fluttershy answered, but her unicorn friend didn’t believe her.

“Fluttershy, were friends, you can tell me,”

Fluttershy sighed in defeat and looked at her friend.

“I’m scared of what the Dark Elements will do to me, what if I turn into a monster?  What if I turn into something worse?”

Twilight Sparkle could understand how Fluttershy was saying, when she turned into Dawn, she was about to kill a

dragon, and hurt her friends to do it.  She gave Fluttershy a hug, which surprised the yellow Pegasus.

“Don’t worry Fluttershy, we will make sure that that will never happen,”

“You promise?”

“I Pinkie Promise,” Twilight Sparkle said, doing the Pinkie Promise.

“Oh could you stop being so sappy, it’s making me sick,”

The unicorn mare frowned when Dawn said that, ever since she talked to Celestia about how to control the Dark Elements, Dawn kept talking to her about how this was wasting her time.  When Twilight Sparkle told Celestia that Dawn was talking to her, the Alicorn princess told her that since Dawn broke from her prison, she could now talk to Twilight, and that the same would happen to her friends.

“Dawn if you don’t like seeing this, you can look away,”

“I would but I see out of your eyes, and besides I ran out of books to read, I would like it if you could read more so I can

read them,”

“I’ll see what I can do,”

“Excellent,”

Two hours later, the train arrived at Ponyville, and the six mares got off the train.

“Okay girls, let’s get our things and tell our family that we are going to be leaving for a bit,” Twilight Sparkle ordered, she than heard laughter behind her and looked to se six pitch black ponies, two unicorns, two pegasi, and two earth ponies, all stallions.

“Sorry, but we have orders to stop you, and destroy the Elements of Harmony,” one of the pegasi said, this pagasus had an athletic build, and his wings had blades on them.

“And who sent you six!?” Rainbow Dash asked, the Pegasus chuckled.

“You should know that answer, we were sent by Lord Tirek,”

The six mares stepped back a bit in fear, knowing what the dragon did, they were afraid to see what these six could do.

Twilight Sparkle then had a look of determination on her face, as she took out the Element of Magic and put it on her head.

“Twilight what are you doing?” Rarity asked.

“I’m going to fight these six while you five get everypony to safety,”

“Are you insane Twilight, they’ll kill you!” Rainbow Dash yelled, Twilight Sparkle looked at her friends and smiled.

“Don’t worry, we will be okay,”

“We?” the five mares asked, suddenly Twilight Sparkle was covered in a black aura, and when it disappeared Dawn was in her place, and the Element of Magic was gone.  The five mares looked at Dawn with shock.

“Well what are you foals waiting for?  Get everypony to safety,” Dawn demanded, the five mares nodded and ran off to get the citizens of Ponyville out.  Dawn looked back at the six Dark Pony stallions and smiled.

“So, which one of you foals is going to try to take me?” Dawn asked, smirking in confidence.

“Careful Dawn, they look dangerous,” Twilight Sparkle said in Dawns head.

“Don’t worry, I’ll be fine,”

“And don’t try to kill them, and even if they do, I can stop you, or revert back to my normal self,”

Dawn frowned at what her normal self said.

“Don’t remind me,”

“Well Dawn, I was thinking that we will all go against you,” Night Wing said, Dawn looked disappointed.

“Well that’s not fair,”

“Of course not Dawn,”

“For you,”

With that Dawn shot a black beam at the six, but the beam was stopped by a blood red force field.  Blood Horn let down the force field and Insane Laughter lunged at Dawn, dagger in his hoof, and sliced Dawn across the right cheek.  Dawn wiped her cheek and saw blood on it.

“Well it looks like you six will be more fun than that dragon,” Dawn said cast a spell that caused the other Dark Pegasus to fly into the building.  The Dark Pegasus got up from the wreckage and snarled at the black unicorn.

“This is going to be fun,”

In Ponyville, Fluttershy, Pinkie Pie, Rarity, Applejack, and Rainbow Dash were telling everyone to get out of Ponyville, and not to their shock, they were questioned.

“And why do we need to leave Ponyville?” a stallion asked.

“Because there is a fight going on, and if it reaches here, somepony might get hurt,” Rainbow Dash yelled, the stallion looked at her with doubt.

“Yeah, like there is a fight like that going on right now,”

Then right in front of the crowd, Dawn was flew right by and crashed into Town Hall, Dawn got out of the wreckage, covered in cuts in bruises, and looked at the crowd.

“I thought I told you foals to get these ponies out of town!” Dawn yelled.

“Sorry Dawn, but you think we could just do get everypony out just by saying that there is a fight!?” Rainbow Dash pointed out loudly, Dawn growled at the rainbow mare but was interrupted by the hoof steps of the six Dark Ponies, all of whom barely had a scratch. Dawn looked at the six, knowing full well that she wouldn’t be able to beat them with the magic she is using right now, so she had no choice but to use her final ability.  She closed her eyes and her horn began to glow.

“It’s no use Dawn, we have beaten you, and once we finish you off, we will kill your friends, than make all the citizens of Ponyville slaves,” Night Wing said, the crowd of ponies looked at the six in fear, while they did outnumber the six, those Dark Ponies looked like they could easily take them on, so they stayed back.

“You foals, you really think that the magic I was using was all I got, no, you see whenever I get injured some magic in me builds up, the more I’m injured the more magic that builds up, and since you six cause quite some injuries on me, I think my next attack will “blow you away”,”

The six Dark Ponies looked at Dawn with confusion, but the confusion didn’t last long when they saw the magic around Dawns horn grow bigger, she then pointed her horn at the six and smiled.

“I like to call this attack, “Magic Rocket”,” with that Dawn fired her magic, the magic was fired in a huge blast, bigger than some of the houses, and hit the six Dark Ponies, causing them to fly off to the Everfree forest.  Dawn panted and was forced to kneel on her for legs.

“That attack took a lot out of me, but I had no choice, well Twilight my job is done,”

“Okay, I’ll turn back, and you get some rest, those injuries look painful,”

“Well you’ll see how painful these injuries really are,”

A black aura surrounded Dawn and dissipated to reveal Twilight Sparkle, who had the same injuries as Dawn, the crowd gasped to see that the towns’ librarian was the pony that fought those six black stallions.  Twilight Sparkle looked at her injuries.

“She was right; I am seeing how painful they are,”

Tenderheart and Redheart ran up to the injured unicorn and checked her injuries.

“There is a lot off blood coming out, we need to get you to the hospital,” Redheart said, a doctor from the hospital ran to the two nurses with a stretcher and put Twilight Sparkle on, they then proceeded to run her to the hospital.
