Chapters Ch.1 Vanished
It was a nice and bright day in the land of Equestria, but more importantly, in the town of Ponyville. Every pony in this quant town was enjoying their day in their own way. One pony in particular wasn't doing anything spectacular, as she was lying down on a bench, nose deep in a spell book.*Crackling* *Thud*

Ch. 3: No Magic is No Fun!
Twilight woke up in pain, to the sound of the wind outside. She managed to sit up without feeling like someone stabbed her and looked out the window to see snow falling. She looked over towards Zero's bed, only to see he was missing.If I can remember how to do it... " Zero thought and tried a spell to dampen the pain. "Twilight, what happened?" Zero asked with worry in his voice. He turned her turned over onto her back and Zero took a step back to keep a reasonable distance away.

Ch. 4: Zero's Legacy
"If you must know, I might as well start as far back as I can remember. I was born in Libertas, I think."'We were all eating, when the pony running the orphanage, Mrs. Care, announced a new arrival…' "You didn't talk very much." "I was a loner. I was very shy and I didn't like to talk much. But Speed brought the fun loving colt out with just a positive attitude." 'Speed and I were doing what we did best: causing mayhem.' 'You know bullying bullies isn't the answer to everything right?' 'You expect two colts to know better? You may need to lower your expectations a bit. Also I think you ask a lot of questions.' 'If I don't, then how will I know anything?' Zero thought it over. 'You got me there.' 'So your plan to spring a trap is how you got your cutie mark?' 'Not at all, Twilight. I got my cutie mark from what happened on the way. As I was running to get to the boathouse on the rooftops, I heard something in the distance on the other side of the roof…' 'Your plan is kind of flawed.' 'Oh it gets better. Watch.' 'Why didn't anyone else stop the cart? Where were the guards or the police?' 'I lived in a town of around five hundred ponies. It's rare that anything bad ever really happened.' 'Speed is no longer living at the Bright Future Orphanage.' After that, I had no idea what happened to him."

Ch. 5: Problematic
As Twilight and Zero began their trek through the cave, with only the light of the red orbs Zero summoned to help them see, Twilight decided to ask Zero more questions.*Crash* *crashsmashcrashsmashcrashsmash* "I hope she doesn't hate me for this." Zero then kissed Twilight on the lip, to give her enough air to breathe. After what seemed like forever, Twilight regained enough of her consciousness to react to Zero's kiss. He breaks away and then brings her to the surface for air.

Ch.6 Prophecy
Twilight and Zero weren't exactly in the best of spots… Captured, practically helpless with their magic gone and being chained together by the neck sure wasn't helping matters. The walls of their prison were three solid walls and a cell door, which was comprised of crossing steel plates. The one good thing about the situation is that there were no guards locked in the cage with them so they had the entire thing to themselves to form a plan. The only thing in the cell was one bench that Twilight was sitting on."Yes sir!" The troops said in unison."The prisoners are free!" a guard shouted hearing the crash.*Ten minutes of eating later*
On the fifth generation of the blackest era It will be ended by two both born to be a hero One born a princess of Twilight The other born a Valorous Zero A mage of unspeakable hidden power Though with all that power she will not be able to use it But when she recovers and gains it all back She will make evil submit One a descendant of a heritage One he chose to ignore But once he truly believes in himself and where he comes from He will help show evil the door Together and only together can they save us With the ponies of this land behind them And save it from Mortis and free the land A land they wished to condemn
"This... this is scary..." Zero shuddered.*Knock Knock* "How is SHE shivering?! These blankets aren't exactly made of tissue paper, their actually pretty heavy!" Then a though popped into his head. "I could share some of my body heat… NO! That would probably make things worse! Not only will she be cold but also we'll both feel awkward." As she continued to shiver, Zero sighed as he rolled over and draped his arm over Twilight. To his surprise she doesn't just stop shivering but actually started snuggling into it, moving even closer to Zero, causing his face to turn even redder. "Yeah this was a stupid idea… Although I do feel warmer myself, I know I'm going to regret this…" With that Zero went to sleep with Twilight literally back-to front with him with the only thing between them being a blanket."HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA"

Nothing's Ever Simple, Is It?
Ch.7: Nothing's Ever Simple, Is It?
Zero awoke first to find himself in the same position he went to sleep in with Twilight right next to him."Looks like I got up first, albeit a bit early for my tastes but I'd rather not risk her waking up…like this." Zero thought, figuring it was just before sunrise, as he could see light coming from the horizon through the window. He managed to get out of bed without waking her to see clothes for him and Twilight hung over some chairs. The clothes were all a bland brown but were warm-looking and slightly heavy. There was a note hung on one of the chairs so with little light in the bedroom he went into the brightly lit hallway to read it:Thought you two could use some proper clothes for the winter. Meet me outback when you two are ready. It's time I pointed you in the right direction. Conner P.S. You work fast my friend. "Next time I ever sleep in someone's house, I'm locking the door!" Zero looked at the clock in the hallway to see that it was around ten, before he walked back in and looked over to Twilight and remembered he was still magically chained to her. "Might as well wake her up." Zero smiled as a thought came to his head."She's kinda cute when she's asleep… No! Stop it head!" She starts to shake her with his hoof.*sigh* what's the bad news?" asked Zero*hiss* *sigh* … Dammit." Zero said bluntly, realizing he had just lead them off the path and into the middle of nowhere.*HISS* *hiss…Hiss…HISS…* *sigh* Very well. A deal is a deal." Suddenly, the fog completely lifted up and the path became clear. It was about ten feet in front of them."Indeed you have!" They both turn to the voice to see a chimera standing right behind them. It had the head of a lion, a goat's head coming out of its back, and a snake for a tail.*spitting water* What happened?" Twilight asked, being the first to regain consciousness.

Ch.8: Under Their Muzzles
In the blackness of the sewer system, with only the light peeking through the sewer covers and a few lit lanterns on the walls, Zero and Twilight were now trying to figure out how they could reach the top without drawing unwanted attention. They were walking along on cobblestone paths that worked as walls to trap all the sewage into a river. There were small bridges connecting the paths and ladders on the walls leading up to the sewer covers. Zero climbed up a ladder to listen to see how many ponies were around and he kept getting the same answer."HEY YOU!" The two looked to see three guards running straight to them. The unicorn guard in the front was smaller than the earth ponies behind him…and just about Twilight's size."They pay… oh they will pay… and when they do… OH it will be so satisfying!" Twilight and Zero both stopped halfway up the stairs and looked at each other as they listened. "It's all prepared… now I just wait… and then… and THEN… IT WILL BEGIN! HAHAHAHA!" *Clears throat* Excuse me?" Zero said to the mumbling mad colt. The stallion had a yellow coat with spikey white mane and a tail that was pitch black in certain places. One would assume he may have electrocuted his tail... or spilled paint on it. He was wearing goggles and writing on a piece of paper. His cutie mark looked like a gear.'What's wrong with him? Isn't this his best friend?' 'Speed… I hoped I didn't have to see you again…' Zero thought, staring towards the curtain his friend was behind expressionless.()()()()() Meanwhile, Back at the Library ()()()()()

Ch. 9 Grand Theft Artifact
A few minutes after the mysterious reappearance of Zero's friend Speed Breaker, Twilight, no longer wearing the heavy armor, was looking at some books in the piles, while Zero went and followed Speed, wanting an answer to his question.'Why is he even here?!' Zero thought.'When Conner said he wasn't all there… I think he put it mildly.' Zero thought, putting his hoof to his face.'Ok, we're one step closer to getting my magic back. I just need to keep calm, but Zero has been acting strange, even for him! Ever since Speed showed up, Zero hasn't made a joke or said a thing to me. What's he hiding?' The Savior's Fantasy.
Savior's Fantasy on display.
"So that's what they're up to..." Speed said, as he finished reading.'Is this the real Zero?' Twilight thought. "How can I trust you if you won't be honest with me?"'I'm. An. IDIOT!' ()()()()() 2 hours later… Outside the Mortis Museum of Ancient Artifacts: Twilight and Ryder ()()()()() ()()()()() 30 minutes ago: Zero and Speed ()()()()() 'Ok, I just need to create a giant diversion. That shouldn't be that hard.' Zero thought, as he galloped into a large but unguarded hall. There were multiple artifacts that Zero had some knowledge, but the rest just mystified him. The hall also had a second and third story to make room for the biggest attention grabber in the room: a giant stone statue of Dux Mortis. Zero stopped to look at the statue.'That statue… If I can make it fall, then every guard in a square mile will come to see what happened!' Zero smirked to himself. 'A well placed concussion blast should do the trick!' As began to charge his blast to take out the legs…"Well Val, I never thought you'd be this dumb." Zero turned his head in shock towards the familiar voice…to see Speed. Zero was at a loss for words."Great works girls!" 'I can't let him win! Fight Zero!' 'He's resisting. I can't get a good read on his memories. Just blurs of pictures… He's a determined one.' Just then, a bright pillar of light appeared from the other side of the building and formed a dome around the building, distracting Shadow from what he was doing along with the guards watching.'Now's my chance!' Zero took immediate advantage and let out an all-or-nothing concussive blast in all directions, knocking Shadow into a nearby pillar, launching every other pony into whatever was behind them and weakening the legs of the Dux Mortis statue, causing it to crumble and take out a few chunks of the second story, making the third floor and roof to begin collapsing."Well lookie here…" "That pony doesn't look so good…!" "You're right… Let's see if we can help him…" "Hurry! Before any other ponies show up…!" ()()()()() Meanwhile ()()()()()

Ch.2 A Nation Divided
As Twilight began to regain consciousness, she smelled something really good. When she tried to sit up, a sharp pain shot up her back, forcing her to stay down.*static* Your Majesty, I have important news." "Ah, my fateful servant. What is it?" "The final piece to prevent the prophecy is in place. You'd only need to destroy it." "Thank you for telling me. I will send my best ponies to take care of it." "Blacklight! Round up your team and find them!" "My family has ruled for the last one hundred and fifty years and I won't let anypony stop it now…" "…No pony at all"
