Chapter 1 - Crash landing

"Uuuuuuuuugh" sighed Sora. It was taking time to get back to Hollow Bastion and patient Sora was becoming impatient Sora.
"Donald, how much longer?" said Sora.
"Another few hours Sora" said Donald.
"Ugh." Sora had just sealed the key hole in Pride Lands and was getting used to his human body again and could only love his new keyblade. As he look outside all he could see was space and after going to the restroom returned to his post. When he looked down at his computer he saw a red dot.
"Hey Donald."
"Yea Sora?"
"Umm there's a planet we missed."
"What, that can't be right, we didn't see a new path unlock."
"I know but the radar shows a planet."
"Well, we don't know whats there do we?"
"Nope but I want to check it out."
"You can't be serious Sora we never even heard of this planet before."
"Well what do you think Goofy?"
"I think its a great idea he-yuck." said Goofy.
"Then its settled lets go" smiled Sora jumping into the air excitedly.
The gummy ship's path rerouted and they were now on a intersecting course
with a very colorful planet.


Meanwhile in Ponyville, a certain blue pegasus was having a strange dream.
"ugh"
Usually when I wake up I am pretty well rested but now I feel terrible.
"Ok this is not my room."
Surrounding Rainbow was nothing but black space except for under her was a stained glass pillar with a picture of Fluttershy with her woodland creatures in separate little circles around her.
So much to do, so little time... said a voice
"What who's there" Yelled Rainbow
Take your time, don't be afraid... said the voice again.
"Me, scared, please do you know who I am."
The door is still shut, step forward can you do it? asked the voice
"Alright i'll play your game" Rainbow said stepping forward
Power sleeps within you, if you give it form, it will give you strength... as the voice said this three stands popped out of the ground each with a different item on them. One had a sword on top , another a wand, and the last had a shield on it .
Choose wisely...
" Whoa. the sword looks cool. " She says as she flew over to it picking it up.
The power of the warrior, invincible courage. A sword of terrible destruction. Is this the power you seek?
"Sure. Be cool to have a sword like this." she says suddenly the sword then magically turns into an orb as Rainbow absorbs it. "Where did it go !?!" Gasped Rainbow.
Your path set. Now, what will you give up in exchange...
"Well, I think its obvious that I cant use magic so i'll get rid of the wand." She says as she flys to the wand.
The strength of the mystic, inner strength. A staff of wonder and ruin. You give up this power?
"Yes"
You've chosen the power of the warrior, and given up the power of the mystic. Is this the form you choose?
"Yes"
Suddenly all three of the stands sink back into the ground and the glass floor shatters.
"ahhhhhhh" Rainbow screams as she plummets into darkness.
She then sees a another pillar this one purple with twilight on it with books and stars in other circles.
As rainbow gets closer she starts two slow her plummet and is able to land softly on the glass floor.
"Whoa. This is pretty cool."
The sword appears in front of rainbow floating. Take hold of it. Rainbow bites onto the sword to hold it in her mouth. You've gained the power to fight. Try out the sword.
Rainbow swings the sword around for a bit getting used to the feeling of it between her teeth.
Alright you've got it. Use this power to protect yourself and others.
Their will be times you have to fight...Suddenly a multiple little black creatures come out of the floor.
Keep you light burning strong and fight.
The creatures leap at her. Rainbow not wanting to die closed her eyes and slashed at the nearest little creature. She opens her eyes to the sound of something disappearing seeing that all that was left of the creature was a little dark smoke .
With this she grins and destroys the rest of the little creatures. After killing all the creatures the floor is smothered in darkness and Rainbow is dragged underneath to find yet again she is on another glass pillar this one pink with pinkie pie on it and sweets and candies surrounding here.
"Ugh, how many more times are you going to do this."
She spots a door and walks over to it she tries to open it to no avail.
"Why can't i open it"
Out of no where a chest appears. This chest is locked up tight put with the power in your sword you can open it.
Rainbow dash trots over to it and touches it with sword and after that the door sparkles.
Rainbow opens the door to find a white light on the other side. Without dash knowing she walks through the door only to find shes at the center of ponyville with derpy, Lyra, and cherilee next to her.
Hold on the door won't open just yet. First, tell me more about yourself
Suddenly cherilee speaks up "What's most important to you? Being number one, friendship, or prize posseions."
"Friendship."
"Is having friends such a big deal?"Cherilee says as she fades away.
Next was Lyra's turn "What are you afraid of? Getting old , being different, or being indecisive?"
"Getting old"
"Gettin' old? Is that really so scary?"Lyra asks as she too fades away.
And now Derpy "What do you want out of life? Seeing rare sights, broadening your horizon, or to be strong?"
"To be strong."
"To be strong huh" says Derpy as she lastly fades.
And in a flash of light Rainbow is in a new place. This time on an orange glass pillar with a picture of Applejack on it with tons of apples around her.
Another battle with the little creatures ensues this time she gets hit a bit. After the battle is over a white and green light shows up on the floor and rainbow goes and stands on it suddenly rejuvenated by the light and she feels much better.
After healing another pillar appears far away and and stained glass path leads up to it.
"Guess i'm walking" says Rainbow as she breaks into a sprint. As she reaches the pillar she sees it is also purple but this one as Rarity on it and she is surrounded by jewels of many colors.
A light shines down from the sky in the middle of the platform. Rainbow watches the light in the sky as she steps closer to it.
The closer you get to the light, the greater your shadow becomes.
A giant shadow of rainbow dash appears on the floor and it seems to be moving. It seems to be getting up.
"Oh my gosh that's really big." says rainbow backing away.
But don't be afraid.
"Who said I was afraid." Said rainbow as her knees wobbled.
and don't forget... all the while this was happening the shadow was transforming into a huge being.
suddenly a huge empty heart shape form on its back that went all the way to the other side of its body.
Seeing this Rainbow ran to the edge of the pillar and looked down only to see darkness.
And now black tendrils formed the shadow pony's mane that wrapped around its face. It's eyes becoming golden sockets.
It reared back and stomped on the ground. The sword appeared in front of Dashie and she knew it was time to fight. The dark pony then collected dark energy in to one of its tendrils and sent the tendril into the ground. Dashie saw it as a chance and then ran to hit it getting off a few hits, she then realized that it had summoned some of the small creatures from before, from the darkness it had put on the ground. Dash disposed of them and then went to hit the giant's leg.
Realizing she was doing no damage to it she decided it was best to hit it on the head. She prepared her wings and then flew for the head dodging the tendrils that tried to swat her out of the air when she reached the head she went on a spree of hits till the creature was defeated.
The creature though defeated had now put rainbow in a dark trap. As it watched Rainbow the voice came back and spoke to her.
.....but don't be afraid... as he was saying this the darkness was wrapping around the pony's legs.
You hold the mightiest weapon of all. Rainbow tried to crawl out of the darkness but could not budge.

So don't forget: You are the one who will save him over all.Rainbow then blacked out.

"Ok Sora the planet is in range for viewing." said Donald.
"Sweet." Sora says as he jumps out of his chair and runs for the window. Too his surprise the planet didn't look that special.
"Well its still in need of help, right?" sighed Sora says slumping back in his chair.
"Lets see. The computer doesn't detect any heartless or nobodies on the planet. So we don't have to go do we?"
"Well, it doesn't have any heartless so yea i guess we can leave." said Sora sadend that there was nothing to do here.
" Alright i'm pulling out. ... Uh oh." said Donald
" Wait , whats the matter." said Sora worriedly
"It seems that our controls are jammed." said Donald.
"Well can we fix it?"
"Well usually yes."
"Then why can't we fix it now."
"Because the gummy ship is plummeting towards that planet!"
"Oh... oh no."
"ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh" screamed the crew as the gummy ship was on a crash course straight for the surface.
"Everyone brace for impact" yelled Sora
Everyone gets down and holds onto what ever his near them. The gummy ship burns into the atmosphere and crashes out in the middle of a apple farm.
"Is everyone alright?" Goofy called
"I'm fine" said Sora moving some rubble out of the way.
"I'm certainly ok but the gummy ship isn't it seems." Donald said looking at the crater they were in.
The resulting Crater was large and very wide reaching out for a little bit. Sora could guess people were already on their way.
"Donald did you know if anything lived on this planet?"asked Sora.
"Umm Sora I think your answer is behind you." said Donald gawking at the sight of what seemed to be seven ponies and a baby dragon standing at the rim of the destruction.

"ummm Hi."said Sora as he turned around and saw the sight before. Oh this is going to be a long day.

"ahhh" Rainbow awakes in her bedroom in cold sweat.
"ugh oh it it was only a dream." Rainbow said panting from exhaustion.
"but it all felt so real." Rainbow walked to the bathroom took a shower and brushed her teeth immediately thinking of a certain pony. She walked towards the stairs only for the last time she hears the voice.
if you will it to be there it will become there. Hearing this made rainbow stumble again looking around but this time. She thought in the corner of her eye a black hooded creature standing tall. But she looked there again to find no one was there.
'Did he mean my sword???' Rainbow thought to herself. So Rainbow tried to call for the sword in her mind hoping for it to appear. Only the sword did not appear but something else did.

Instead of the sword she had saw before in her dream she saw a blade that resembled a "key". There was a lighting bolt that caught her eye it was the same color and style that resemble her element's jewel. Beside the jewel were two wings that extended and a golden brass hilt protected the grip of the sword. The actual blade of the sword was a white column that rose into a cloud, and around this column was a blue, yellow, and red rainbow that went into the cloud and came out the other side as a lightning bolt. The blue pegasus was astounded by the look of her sword she did not notice the stairs in front her and went tumbling down making her a very upset pegasus.
"ugh really. But still wow that thing looked amazing. I can't wait to show my friends, but first its time for breakfast."
After eating the blue pegasus bolted out of her house to first show off to her rival. Applejack.

Soon she reached the red farm and saw that the whole crew was thereon the farm. "wow this is going to be a piece of cake."
"Hey everypony how's everyone feeling?" Rainbow said swooping in looking as cool as possible.
"Oh hey Rainbow we were just talking about the next big harvest and seeing how we can help." said Twilight.
"Eeyup. We are gonna need all the help we can get. Would you like the help to Rainbow?"said Big mac in his big deep manner.
"Sure i'd love to help." Said Rainbow.
"So what's up with you Dashie." said a bouncing pinkie pie.
"Well actually thats what im hear to show ya." said Rainbow.
"I present to you my new --"Rainbow was caught of bye the sound of something big.
"Oh my ." said Fluttershy "Look" said spike pointing towards a big what looked to be a building flying through the sky.
"It looks like its going to crash in the northern apple trees." said Applejack.
"After it!" Yelled Twilight. Everyone dashes after it. Just as it seemed they had caught up to it it crashed into the ground making a huge explosion.
"ahhhh" said rarity as she is blown into a tree.
After the shock wave was over everyone went to the rim and looked in. There they saw 3 creatures standing in rubble.
"Umm Sora I think your answer is behind you." One of them said this one looked kinda like a duck Fluttershy thought but couldn't be sure.
Slowly the one that was standing turned around and said." Umm Hi." He said with a terrible poker face.
'Well this is going to be a long day' thought Rainbow.
But unaware to either of the sides something lurked inside one of the apple tree watching and waiting to make his appearance known.
