Chapters 15 minutes through heaven, hell and everything between
CH.1 Black, White and Purple.
-Planet Terra, kingdom of Heleria-
In beautiful field two armies are face to face ready to battle. on the other side all the knights have white armors and other side has black armors. Middle of these two armies stands man in old looking black trench coat and fedora. He carries gigantic sword on his back. Half of the sword is black like deepest pit of hell with big and beautiful white diamond in it. other side is like pure snow with big black diamond, that looks like hole in space. His right hand is bandaged like it would have been burned, but he still moves it completely freely like healthy hand. With first glance his left hand looks normal. But when you look closely you can see small black colored flame like marks going up from his every finger all the way to his shoulder. His hair is mix of brown and grey with small highlights of black. his eyes cannot be seen from under the shadow of his fedora, but no one needs to see them to know that they are eyes of man who has seen everything.
"Hello stranger!" yells the commander of white knights. "what are you doing in middle of our battle field?" The man in middle looks at the white commander and then at the black commander. Suddenly he starts to laugh. It's the laugh of someone who has just heard a good joke. His laugh continues almost ten minutes and both commanders and their armies start to look uncomfortable. Finally his laughing decreases to chuckles and ceases completely.
"Battle field you say?" the man finally speaks "I don't see battle field. All I see is beautiful field where I was going to take my nap, but it is now being trampled by two idiots and their groups of morons." Both sides are perplexed from the words of this stranger. Suddenly the black commander loses his nerves and starts to yell.
"Who do you think you are?" he yells to the mystery man "Why do you think you can just come and start to taunt me and my army?" The commander of white knights agrees with the black commander. "yes who do you think you are to come here and mock us and our battle?"
The man in middle sighs "I was going to finally have a nice nap and not having to fight against anything" "Hey at least they aren't trying to kill you yet." Another voice interject "Yes, but it won't take long before they are." "Do you want me to scare them off?" "No need to. I try talking to them and if that doesn't work I run" "Suit your self." The man pinches the bridge of his nose for a little while and starts to talk with loud voice.
"My name is Lord 15 minutes and I can see that every one of you wants to go home to your families." Minute stops for a second (pun not intended) and continues. "Do you your self even know why you're fighting?" He asks. "Do you know why you left all of your loved ones?"
"Yes!" Yells one of the black knights. "we are fighting, because... um because. Commander why are we fighting against white knights?" Black knight one asks.
Black commander sighs and answers to his knights question. "We are fighting, because they don't want to wear black armors." All of the knights turn to their commander and there is one thought that is filling all of their heads. "WHAT!" Comes out of every last one of the knights. "What do you mean we are fighting them because they don't wear black armor?" Yells one of the black knights "Commander You didn't bring us here for the same reason? Right?" says one of the white knights. Both of the commanders look frightened of their own armies and start to edge slowly in the middle where Minute still stands. He looks at both of the armies and sighs.
"Could you all shut up!" Minute yells with voice that sounds like thunder. Suddenly everything goes quiet. Even birds are quiet like everything alive suddenly ceased to exist. "Okay, now everyone listen to me and listen good. Why don't we stop all of this stupid fighting and take nap or start to meet the other knights?" Minute asks. "All of us must have had long day and we haven't eaten anything" He says "At least I haven't" He thinks and sighs again.
For little while everyone looks at Minute and then they start to throw their weapons to ground and take their armors off. Both of the commanders look at the sight of their armies with perplexed looks. Finally they both just shrug and start to take their own armors off. After a little while the field starts to fill from the voices of talking, drinking and singing of drunk knights.
"Heh, you actually succeeded in talking them off from that fight." The voice in Minutes head says "yes, but I'm still hungry and In need of nap." He says to The voice. " I just wish that I wouldn't have to be the one that stops fights all the time." Minute thinks. Suddenly he feels that someone slaps him in the back and tells him to come eat and drink. Minute just shrugs and goes to table that has been build surprisingly fast. All around he can see drunken knights singing, drinking, eating and just having calm conversations with each others. "Maybe this isn't so bad." He says while taking sips from his keg.
-Planet Equis, kingdom of Equestria-
Little purple unicorn could be seen running through the castle corridors. Her name is Twilight Sparkle and she was in hurry. She had just found out about old prophecy that tells about Nightmare Moons return. She had read how thousand years ago two sisters kept look of the cycle of night and day, but younger of siblings became jealous of her sisters day. She saw how all the ponies played in the day her sister brought forth, but hid and slept through her beautiful nights. As she saw this her jealousy started to grow until she transformed in her jealous rage to wicked mare of darkness, Nightmare Moon. She said that she would shroud the world to eternal night. Her sister saw this and decided to use strongest magic in Equis. The elements of harmony. Elder sister used the elements of harmony to banish Nightmare in moon. After that the elder sister took upon her self to look after the cycle of night and day. It's said that Nightmare would come back at the longest day of thousandth year of her banishment.
"And it just has to be the day after tomorrow" she thinks while running to her quarters. "Spike! Spike!" She yells while opening door to her tower "Spike?" She didn't notice that when she opened the door it hit a ladder that was behind it.
"Woah, woah." Comes sudden yell from behind her. Before she has time to turn Around, Little purple and green dragon comes tumbling down from the ladder. Finally Twilight notices the purple dragon behind her. "Spike, What are you doing? Now is not the time to sleep." She yells at him "You have to help me search the copy of Predictions and Prophecies." Spike groans while walking to one of the bookshelves. "No, no, no no no! Spike!" "it's here" Spike Yells from one of the upper shelves with book in his hand. "Thank you, Spike." She says and takes hold of the book with her magic and starts to pull it. She didn't notice that it was still in hold of her little assistant and pulling it would bring him down with it. "Wait, Twilight stop!" Is all he can yell before twilights magic pulls the book from his grasp and brings him crashing down. "Elements, Elements. where is it. Aha, The elements of harmony see mare in the moon." She says while browsing her book. "Mare in the moon?" Spike asks while cleaning all the books Twilights search left all over place. "But that's just an old pony tale?"
"Spike! It's not just an old ponytale. I have seen all of the signs." Twilight tells. Spike looks at his care taker and groans. "Twilight is this again one of your things where we tell Princess Celestia something and then she says not to worry, because it's nothing?" Spike says while continuing his cleaning. "Do you remember that one time when you told her that you were being followed by ghost? when you told her about it she reassured you that it was nothing, but shadows." To this twilight blushes deeply and turns her gaze. "To me it looked like ghost." She mutters. "And besides I was only 9 years old." She says little louder. The little dragon assistant just sighs to this. "Well, what do I have to write to her?" Spike asks knowing that Twilight wouldn’t stop before she gets what she wants. Twilight starts to smile.
Dear Princess Celestia it has come to my attention that we are in immediate danger. You see the mythical mare in the moon is in fact Nightmare Moon. She will be freed on the longest day of thousandth year and that is day after tomorrow. I wait your answer.
Your Faithfull student Twilight Sparkle
PS. This time I have researched this and seen all the sings of her return .
"Now send it." Twilight tells to her assistant. "You mean right now?" Spike asks with one of his eyebrows risen. "of course I mean right now. When did you think then?" she says with stern look on her face. Spike looks at her little while and sighs. He takes deep breath and blows fire to the letter so it burns to ashes that fly out of the window. "there. it's on its way, But you know that she is probably so busy that she can't read it right away? Right?" Spike tells her. "Oh, don't worry. Princess always has time for my letters." Twilight says with enthusiastic look on her face. Spike just continues to clean their quarters. Suddenly he burps a letter. "I told you so." Twilight says with smile. "Yeah, yeah what ever." Spike grumbles. "So what does it say." he asks.
My most faithful student Twilight. You know that I trust you completely? But even you should stop sometimes reading those old books. Now I'm going to send you and spike to overlook this years Summer Sun Celebration in its location: Ponyville. I trust you can have this done.
Your teacher Princess Celestia
PS. On another note please make some friends when you are there.
Twilight looked like she had seen ghost. "well, look at the bright side. At least we get to stay in library." Spike Tells her. Twilight turns her eyes to Spike and after little while she answers to him. "Yes that is good. I can continue my research in there." Spike looks at her little while and turns away. " we probably should go, so we get to our carriage." He says and opens the door.
-1 hour later-
"Finally we are here." Twilight says with look that tells she would wish to be somewhere else entirely. "so this is Ponyville I thought It would be smaller." Spike says. "well do you remember what Princess said? You better start making some friends." Twilight turns her eyes to Spike and gives him an angry glare. "She said to check on preparations. I am her student, and I'll do my royal duty, but the fate of Equestria does not rest on me making friends." Spike looks at her little
while and sighs. "well you could at least try." He says and points at the mare that just came to them. She has cotton candy looking mane and tail and also pink coat. "Uh, hello." Twilight says to her with awkward smile. suddenly the pink mare gasps and makes gravity defying jump and stays in air couple of seconds. She then runs away with great speed. "Well, that was interesting all right." Twilight says. "I have to study how she was able to defy gravity without wings." Twilight thinks while starting to walk on her first destination.
15 minutes through heaven, hell and everything between
CH.2 Twilights transition through Ponyville
-Planet Equis, Kingdom of Equestria-
“so what’s first?” Asked Twilight from Spike. Spike opened the Summer Sun Celebration official overseer's checklist and looked it. “first is banquet preparations in Sweet Apple Acres.” As they came closer they could see orange mare bucking apple trees. “Why do i have to do this.” Twilight mutters to herself. “Because Princess send you here and she trusts you.” Spike answers to her. “Lets just get this over with.” She says to Spike.
“Hello i’m Twilight sparkle and i have been send to-” is all she can say before the orange mare grabs her hoof and starts to shake it. “Well howdy miss Twilight, it sure is nice to make your acquaintance, ahm Applejack and me and mah family sure love to make new friends.” Applejack tells to Twilight.
“yes, very lovely, but I-” Twilight tries to say before Applejack interferes her again. “So what can I do for you?” She asks. “As i was saying, I am in fact here to supervise preparations for the Summer Sun Celebration. And you're in charge of the food?” “We sure are! Would you like to sample some?” Applejack asks with enthusiastic smile. “Well, if it won’t take too long.” Twilight answers. Applejack takes a triangle from table and starts to ring it. “Soup’s on everypony!” She yells and after a minute Twilight can see All of the ponies in Apple family coming towards them. “ Now why don’t ah introduce y’all to the Apple family?” Applejack says to Spike and Twilight. “You know you don’t have to just because of us.” Twilight tries to tell Applejack, but she doesn’t listen.
“Don’t worry miss Twilight it doesn’t take long.” she tells her. “: This here's Apple Fritter, Apple Bumpkin, Red Gala,- (yeah there is many ponies in Apple family) -ig mcintosh, Apple Bloom and Granny Smith. Wake up Granny Smith, we got guests.” Applejack calls and wakes Granny Smith up. “What? Soup’s on? ahm wake. ahm coming.” Granny says while still half asleep.
Twilight looks all of the food and says. “Okay, well, I can see the food situation is handled, so we'll be on our way.” As Twilight is trying to leave she notices Apple Bloom in front of her. “Aren't you gonna stay for brunch?” Apple bloom asks from Twilight looking at her with best puppy dog eyes she can make. “Uh, you see we gotta awful lot to do.” Twilight says while trying to dodge Apple blooms gaze. “Aww...” Comes from all of the Apple family at the same time. After trying to fighting a losing fight against her guilt, Twilight finally gives up. “Fine.” Twilight says with sigh. All of the ponies in Apple family start to cheer to her words.
-30 minutes later-
“Food's all taken care of, next is weather.” Spike tells to Twilight while looking the list. “I think, i ate too much fritters.” Twilight says while holding her stomach. “There is supposed to be some pegasus named Rainbow Dash clearing the clouds.” Spike tells to twilight while looking up. “Well she is doing really good job.” Twilight says sarcastically while looking at the clouded sky.
Suddenly a cyan streak hits her and throws her into a mud pool. Twilight groans and turns to look whatever just hit her. “Uh, sorry ‘bout that. here let me help you.” The cyan pegasus says to Twilight. She brings dark looking rain cloud just above Twilights head and starts to jump on it. Suddenly rain starts to pour from the cloud and it washes all of mud from Twilights coat.
“Oops, I guess I overdid it.” She says after looking at wet Twilight. “How about this? My very own patented Rain-Blow Dry!” After saying this she starts to fly around Twilight in circles while creating small hurricane that sucks all the water and dries Twilight. While it dries her it also leaves her mane and tail really poofy. Spike and the cyan mare both look Twilight before they burst to laugh. “Oh Celestia, your mane looks hilarious.” The cyan mare says between her laughs. “Let me guess. You're Rainbow Dash.” Twilight says while looking annoyed. “Yeah that’s me. Why, you heard of me?” Now named Rainbow asks. “I heard you were supposed to be keeping the sky clear.” Twilight says in annoyed tone.
“I'm Twilight Sparkle, and the Princess sent me to check on the weather.” After saying this she looks at Rainbow. “Yeah, yeah. I’ll do it after i’m done practising.” Rainbow answers to her. Twilight looks at rainbow little while. “ Practising for what exactly?” She asks while thinking what could be more important than Princess rising the sun. “The Wonderbolts of course. They are coming to the celebration tomorrow.” Rainbow answers with enthusiastic voice. “The Wonderbolts?” Twilight says. “The most talented flyers in all of Equestria?” She continues.
“Uh, yeah. Who else would i have meant when i said that?” Rainbow says with one eyebrow raised. “Because i’m pretty sure there isn’t more than one of them. So it’s really hard to mess them in any other fliers.” she continues with worried look. “No, you see, i meant to say that they probably won’t take someone who can’t keep sky clear even one day.” Twilight says while stuttering. Rainbow flies near Twilight.
“Hah, i could clear the sky ten. Seconds. Flat.” Rainbow says whit smug grin on her face. “Prove it.” Is all Twilight says. It’s like someone (or somepony) had flipped switch. Rainbows face takes determined look and she takes to the sky. With flips, loops and raw speed it takes really only 10 seconds that sky is again clear.
“I told you so. Ten. Seconds. Flat.” Rainbow says to Twilight with smile. “you should see the look on your face.” Rainbow says after looking Twilight. Her eyes are wide and mouth is gaping. “Ha! You're a laugh, Twilight Sparkle. I can't wait to hang out some more.” Rainbow says and starts to fly away. Suddenly she stops and flies back. “Oh, and close your mouth so flies don’t get in.” After saying that she takes to the skies while laughing merrily.
After Rainbow vanishes somewhere. Twilight, while grumbling under her breath, and Spike start to trot towards their next destination. After going while they come before the town hall where the Celebration takes place.
“Decorations. Beautiful...” Spike says. “Yes, the decor is coming along nicely. This shouldn’t take long. I can finally continue my research.” Twilight rambles without noticing where her assistant is looking. “Not the decor, her!” He says and points at the mare who is just choosing ribbon colors. “I mean look at her. That alabaster coat, her beautiful purple mane and her voice like thousand angels (not the bunny) singing.” Spike says with dreamy eyes. Twilight looks at her assistant and then at the mare. “I don’t get it.” She says bluntly. After that she decides to go and get it over with. “Good afternoon-” Is all she can say before the alabaster mare stops her. “Wait a moment, please! I’m trying to think.” After a while she ends up choosing red ribbon with sparkles. “Oh, yes! Sparkle always does the trick, does it not? Why, Rarity, you are a talent.” She says to her self. “So how can i help yo-” Is all she says as she turns to look Twilight. When she sees how Twilight's mane is messed up, she lets out big gasp. “Dear celestia what happened to your mane?” She asks from Twilight.
Twilight looks at Rarity with wide eyes. “Just a little bump with Rainbow dash, nothing serious. I'm just here to check on the decorations, and then I'll be out of your hair!” Twilight says while trying to get out of the door. “Out of my hair? What about your hair?!” Rarity says while looking shocked. “You must come with me, so we can get your mane and tail back to their full beauty.” Rarity exclaims while dragging Twilight behind her. “Wait! Where are we going?! Help!” Twilight yells to Spike.
After Rarity drags Twilight to her boutique, she starts to use her as a dressing doll. She dress Twilight in many different dresses. Yellow, green, poofy and frilly dresses. Finally she finds the perfect dress for her. “Now go on, my dear. You were telling me where you're from.” Rarity says while she tightens Twilight’s dress. “I've... been sent... from Canterlot... to-” Twilight tries to say while gasping air. Suddenly Rarity lets go from ropes of the dress and Twilight tumbles down. “Canterlot?! Oh, I am so envious! The glamor, the sophistication!” She says while looking wishful. “I have always dreamed of living there! I can't wait to hear all about it! We are gonna be the best of friends, you and I.” Rarity says and hugs Twilight. Suddenly she drops her and looks insulted.
“Emeralds?! What was I thinking? Let me get you some rubies!” As Rarity turns to go her back room where she keeps all of her supplies, Twilight undresses and starts to run to the door. “Quick! Before she decides to dye my coat a new color!” Twilight says as she runs out with her purple and green assistant following in her magical grip.
“Wasn’t she beautiful.” Spike says while dreaming of Rarity. “Yeah, yeah she was great. Could you snap out of it? You have more important things to do then think some mares plot.” Twilight says in annoyed tone. Spike turns to look Twilight and gives her angry glare. “Hey! I don’t think only her plot. I also think her beautiful azure eyes and magnificent purple mane and tail.” He says while continuing to think his dream mare. Twilight just rolls her eyes and decides to stop arguing.
Finally they come in front of a little cottage. As they get closer there starts to come beautiful music. They decide hide behind bushes so they won’t disturb the flow of music. What they see from there is butter yellow pegasus mare with orchestra of birds (can you actually say that? Orchestra of birds. Enough of this back to the story). As Twilight and Spike watched how the yellow mare tended her bird orchestra (still weird. At least for me).
Finally Twilight decides to make herself known. “Hello! My name is Twilight Sparkle.” She says and scares all the birds away. “I’m sorry i didn’t mean to scare your birds.” She tells with apologetic smile. As the mare in front of her doesn’t answer she continues. “Sooo, what’s your name” Twilight asks. “my name is Fluttershy.” She says to Twilight with silent voice. “I’m sorry but could you repeat that.” “my name is fluttershy.” “Once more please,” But all Twilight can hear is small squeak. With awkward smile Twilight decides that it’s better go. “Well, um, it looks like your birds are back, so I guess everything's in order. Keep up the good work!” She says and turns to go.
When she starts to leave Spike decides to come out of the bush where he was hiding. “A baby dragon!” Comes a voice suddenly behind her. Before Twilight can turn she feels something colliding on her and throwing her in the bushes. “Oh, I've never seen a baby dragon before. He Is sooo cute!” Says the suddenly enthusiastic yellow mare. First Twilight’s little assistant looks little bit shocked, but after a while all the shock turns to pride. “Well, well, well...!” He says with voice that belongs to someone who likes to be in spotlight.
“Oh my, he talks. I didn't know dragons could talk. That's just so incredibly wonderful I, I just don't even know what to say!” The yellow mare said with amazed look in her face. “Well, in that case we'd better be going.” Twilight says after finally getting out of the bushes. She takes Spike from the grip of the yellow pegasus and puts him in her back. “You see, we got to get back to library so we can finish everything before tomorrow.” She continues and starts to trot away. “Wait, wait! What's his name?” The pegasus asks and starts to trot with Twilight. “Oh Celestia, first i couldn’t get anything out of her and now she won’t shut up.” Twilight thinks while frowning little.
“My name is Spike.” Twilight’s Little assistant answers to the pegasuses question. “Hi Spike, I'm Fluttershy. Wow, a talking dragon! And what do dragons talk about?” Ask our now named yellow mare. “Well, what do you wanna know?” Spike ask feeling good about finally being in spotlight. “Absolutely everything.” Hearing her answer Twilight’s frown deepens and she lets out silent groan. “Well... I started out as a cute little purple and green egg...”
-30 minutes later, in front of ponyville library-
“...and that's the story of my whole entire life! Well, up until today. Would you want to hear about today?” Spike ask after he finishes his life story. “Oh, yes, please!” Fluttershy answers with enthusiastic look. Suddenly Twilight stops and drops Spike to ground. “I am so sorry, how did we get here so fast?” She says with apologetic smile. “I wish it wouldn’t have been even this long.” She thinks with little annoyance, but outside she shows only a smile. “This is where I'm staying while in Ponyville and my poor baby dragon needs his sleep.” She says and wishes that Fluttershy would take the bite. To her displeasure she doesn’t. “Poor thing, you simply must get into bed...” Fluttershy says and scoops spike from ground. “Yes, yes, we'll get right on that. Well, g'night!” Twilight says and takes spike from her. She waves to Fluttershy and closes the door before she can get in.
“Huh. Rude much?” Spike says while frowning to Twilight’s actions. “Sorry, Spike, but I have to convince the Princess that Nightmare Moon is coming, and we're running out of time!” Twilight Says to spike in serious tone. “I just need to be alone so I can study without a bunch of crazy ponies trying to make friends all the time.” She says while searching light switch. “Now, where's the light?” After saying this all the lights suddenly turn on. “Surprise!” Comes a yell from behind her. Twilight turns around and what she sees makes her face go blank. Inside the library are all the ponies of Ponyville. “Oh dear Celestia, can’t they leave me alone?” She thinks and groans to the sight before her.
“Surprise!“ Comes from pink fuzzy ball of energy. “Hi, I'm Pinkie Pie, and I threw this party just for you! Were you surprised? Were ya? Were ya? Huh huh huh?” She continues her endless rambling. “Very surprised. Libraries are supposed to be quiet.” Twilight answers to her in annoyed tone. Either Pinkie doesn’t notice or care about Twilights annoyance.
“Well, that's silly! What kind of welcome party would this be if it were quiet?” Pinkie says while laughing to Twilights answer. “I mean, duh, bo-ring!” She continues her overly enthusiastic speech. “Y'see I've never saw you before and if I've nev-.” As Pinkie continues her rambling Twilight decides to pour herself a drink. “Oh Celestia, can't she go bother someone else. How hasn’t she noticed that i’m not listening!” Twilight thinks. She decides to listen if Pinkie had finally stopped. “-ve any friends then you must be lonely, and that ma-.” After hearing that the crazy pink mare still continues Twilight starts to finally take sips from her drink. “-ow you have lots and lots of friends!” Pinkie ends her ramble. Suddenly Twilight starts to feel burning in her mouth and her cheeks start to turn red. “Are ya alright, sugarcube?” Applejack asks with worried look in her face. Suddenly Twilight takes off and runs to stairs while water comes from her eyes. “Aww, she's so happy she's crying!” Pinkie says with happy smile on her face.
Spike takes the bottle from which Twilight poured her drink. “Hot sauce.” He reads and takes a worried glance at the stairs. Suddenly he feels somepony taking hold of his claw and tilting it. He turns to look at it and sees pinkie pour hot sauce on her cupcake. After putting hot sauce on her cupcake, Pinkie starts to eat it without second thought. Spike, Rarity, Applejack and Rainbow dash all look at her with their eyebrows raised. “What? It's good!” Pinkie says and swallows her mouthful.
-Morning of the Summer Sun Celebration-
Twilight Listens the music coming from downstairs and tries to block her own ears. Suddenly the door to stairs slams open and spike comes to room. “Hey Twilight! Pinkie Pie's starting ‘pin the tail on the pony!’ Wanna play?” He asks from His Master Boss sister. Twilight sits up and takes an angry glance in Spikes way. “No! All the ponies in this town are crazy!” She yells to him. Spike just sighs to her anger. “you know Twilight, It's the eve of the Summer Sun Celebration.” Spike says and looks at her. “Everypony has to stay up, or they'll miss the Princess raise the sun!” He continues with his right eyebrow raised. “You really should lighten up, Twilight. It's a party!” Spike says finally and turns to go back downstairs. Just as he closes the door Twilight throws her pillow at it.
“Ugh, here I thought I'd have time to learn about the Elements of Harmony but, silly me, all this ridiculous friend-making has kept me from it!” She says and turns her gaze into the sky. "Legend has it that on the longest day of the thousandth year, the stars will aid in her escape, and she will bring about everlasting night." Twilight thinks with worry growing inside her chest. “I hope the Princess was right... I hope it really is just an old ponytale.” She says while looking the empty sky. Suddenly the door opens and Spike comes in. “C'mon, Twilight, it's time to watch the sunrise!” He says.
-1 hour later, Ponyville town hall-
Finally the moment has arrived. All the ponies of ponyville have gathered in town hall to see how their princess rises the sun. “Isn't this exciting? Are you excited, 'cause I'm excited, I've never-.” Pinkie rambles, but Twilight doesn’t even care about the pink mare. Only thing she cares right now is that everything would go well. “Fillies and gentlecolts, as mayor of Ponyville, it is my great pleasure to announce the beginning of the Summer Sun Celebration!” Mayor mare announces. All the ponies in the hall start to cheer and you can feel all of the anticipation in air. “In just a few moments, our town will witness the magic of the sunrise, and celebrate this, the longest day of the year!” Mayor continues with proud tone in her voice. “And now, it is my great honor to introduce to you the ruler of our land, the very pony who gives us the sun and the moon each and every day, the good, the wise, the bringer of harmony to all of Equestria...” She says and stops for little while. “...Princess Celestia!” she announces with smile.
Fanfare starts to play and drapes open. Behind them is... No one. Twilights heart almost stops when she sees her mentor missing. “This can’t be good.” She mutters to herself. Everypony starts to chatter in confusion about what is happening.”Remain calm, everypony, there must be a reasonable explanation!” Mayor tries to reassure everypony. “I love guessing games!” Pinkie randomly yells. “Is she hiding?” She asks with enthusiasm.
“She’s gone” Rarity says with shock from where princess should be. Suddenly an evil looking smoke (how can smoke look evil?) starts to gather in there and Rarity has to jump off. As the smoke continues gathering it starts to form into a evil looking mare. “Oh no, Nightmare moon.” Twilight says at the sight of this new entity. Nightmare looks at all of the gathered ponies and starts to talk. “Oh, my beloved subjects. It's been so long since I've seen your precious, little sun-loving faces.” She says with subtle voice. “What did you do with our princess!” Rainbow Dash yells and tries to attack, but Applejack stops her. “Why, am I not royal enough for you? Don't you know who I am?” Nightmare says while chuckling little. “More guessing games! Um, Hokey Smokes! How about... Queen Meanie! No! Black Snooty, Black Snooty-” Pinkie says before Applejack silences her with hoof. “Does my crown no longer count now that I have been imprisoned for a thousand years?” Nightmare asks from everypony. “Did you not recall the legend? Did you not see the signs?” She continues and sweeps the crowd with her gaze. “I did!” Comes a voice from crowd.
“And I know who you are.” The voice continues. Everypony turns to see who is it that knows this new evil entity. Who they see is Twilight Sparkle “You're the Mare in the Moon – Nightmare Moon!” When she says this everypony gasps in shock. “So, Someone still remembers me. Then you also know why I'm here.” Nightmare says with small smile in her face. “You're here to... to...” Twilight tries to say, but can’t because she wishes she didn’t have to say it.“Remember this day, little ponies, for it was your last. From this moment forth, the night will last forever!”

CH.3 Everfree adventure and Minute to the portal
-Kingdom of Equestria, Ponyville-
Only thing that fills the Town hall is Nightmare Moon's laugh. “Seize her! Only she knows where the Princess is!” Mayor yells to guards. They try to restrain her but in vain. “Stand back, you foals!” Nightmare yells while laughing and turns back to smoke. After completely turning she starts to fly out of a window into a forest near town.
“Come back here!” Rainbow Dash yells while trying to chase Nightmare without luck. “Nighttime? Forever?” She says while hovering outside the town hall. Suddenly she hears set of hooves coming out of the hall and going to the city. “Where's she going?” Rainbow says when she notices who it is.
-Ponyville town library-
Twilight Sparkle trots to the town library so she can get her assistant to sleep somewhere safe. “We gotta stop Nightmare!...” Spike says while sleeping. Twilight looks at him with motherly gaze. “You've been up all night, Spike.” She says while shaking her head and sighs. “You are a baby dragon after all.” She says and tugs him in bed. After she ensures that Spike is comfortable she goes back down.
In down stairs she starts to search feverishly something that would help against Nightmare. “Elements, elements, elements..” She chants while throwing books away. “Ugh! How can I stop Nightmare Moon without the Elements of Harmony? “ She says with frustration. “And just what are the Elements of Harmony?” Comes suddenly a voice behind her. She turns and sees that Applejack, Rarity, Fluttershy, Pinkie pie and Rainbow Dash All followed her. “And how did you know about Nightmare Moon, huh? Are you a spy?” Rainbow says, but gets yanked away by Applejack. “Simmer down, Sally. She ain't no spy.” Applejack says to calm Rainbow down. “But she sure knows what's going on. Don't you, Twilight?” She continues with raised eyebrow.
Twilight looks all of them little while before she sighs. “Before coming here i read about the prediction of Nightmare Moon.” She says with faraway gaze. “Some mysterious objects called the Elements of Harmony are the only things that can stop her.” She continues and turns to look the others. “But I don't know what they are, where to find them, I don't even know what they do!” She says with frustrated voice. "The Elements of Harmony: A Reference Guide." Says pinkies voice from behind all of them. Everypony turns to look at her and sure enough she really has book of that name.
“How did you find that?!“ Twilight yells with astonishment. She had just searched from everywhere and this mare just comes and finds it. “It was under ‘E’!” Pinkie answers with sing song voice. Twilight Looks baffled. “of course it was.” She thinks and takes the book from Pinkie. “let’s see here.” Twilight says while browsing the book before her. Finally she stops and waves others near her. “There are six Elements of Harmony, but only five are known:Kindness, Laughter, Generosity, Honesty and Loyalty.” She tells them. “The sixth is a complete mystery.” She continues and raises her left eyebrow. “It is said, the last known location of the five elements was in the ancient castle of the royal pony sisters.” She reads and looks others before continuing. “It is located in what is now the Everfree Forest.” Saying this makes everypony in room look at her in shock. Twilight closes the book and puts it back to bookcase. After that she starts to trot out of the library. After Everypony else finally gets over their shock they look at each others and start gallop after Twilight.
-Edge of Everfree forest-
“You can’t be serious about going in there alone.” Rainbow says to Twilight. She turns to look at her for while and starts to trot inside the forest. “Look, I appreciate the offer, but I'd really rather do this on my own.” Twilight says without breaking her steps. “No can do, sugarcube.” Applejack Says to her. “We sure ain't lettin' any friend of ours go into that creepy place alone.” She Tells her with stern gaze. “We're stickin' to you like caramel on a candy apple.” Applejack says and everypony agrees to her words. “Especially if there's candy apples in there.” Comes from Pinkie. Everypony turns to look at her with raised eyebrows. “What?” She asks with surprise. “Those things are good.” She continues which makes Twilight sigh in defeat.
“So, none of you have been in here before?” asks Twilight after a while. “Ugh, Heavens no! Just look at it - it's dreadful.” Rarity answers with disgusted face. “Then why did you come with us.” Twilight thinks to herself. “And it ain't natural.” The country mare interjects Twilights thoughts. “Folk say it don't work the same as Equestria.” She continues with shaking voice. Twilight just looks at her. “What's that supposed to mean?” She finally asks. “Nopony knows.” Comes Rainbows voice form shadows. “You know why?” She asks and comes towards all of them. “Rainbow, quit it.” Applejack tries to order The cyan pegasus, but she doesn’t either care or listen. “'cause every pony who's ever come in, has never come OUT.” She says the last word louder. Suddenly the ledge that they were standing gives out under them. They all scream in fright when they start to slide to their doom (exclude pegasi). “Fluttershy! Quick!” Rainbow yells and flies after her friends. Fluttershy follows her as fast as she can.
Twilight was sliding to her (almost) certain doom. Before she slid fully over the edge she got hold of it and stopped only her rear legs over it. Applejack notices this and starts to slide down. “Hold on! I'm a-comin'!” She yells at Twilight, while sliding down. As she comes to the ledge only thing Twilight can do is give her pleading look. “Let go.” Applejack says to her. Twilight looks at her like she was some kinda of mad mare. “I promise you'll be safe.” Applejack says to her in reassuring tone. “That's not true!” Twilight gets out of herself. “Now listen here. What I'm sayin' to you is the honest truth. Let go, and you'll be safe.” Applejack says. For little while Twilight doubts her, but decides to trust her. Twilight lets go of her hooves and starts to fall. As she falls she can see her life going through her mind. her first spell, the moment when she became Celestia's student and got her cutie mark. Suddenly she can feel some pony's hooves taking hold of her and lower her gently down.
“T-thank you.” Twilight says while shaking slightly. “Eh, no problem.” Says Rainbow who drops down. They all can see how Applejack comes jumping down from the ledge. Finally When she is in ground she turns to look Twilight and smiles to her. Twilight looks her little while and returns the smile.
-15 minutes later-
“And once Pinkie and Rarity were saved, whoosh... Me and Fluttershy loop-de-loop around and WHAM! Caught you right in the nick of time.” Rainbow tells again. “Yes, Rainbow, I was there” Twilight says and looks at the cyan pegasus. “and I'm very grateful, but we gotta-” is everything she says before loud roar interrupts her. What she sees is large feline with scorpion tail and bat wings. “A manticore!” She yells. “We've gotta get past it!” She says with determination. Rarity decides to go first and kicks the manticore straight to nose. “Take that, you ruffian!” She yells to it. This only aggravates the manticore and makes it roar in anger. “My hair!” She yells and runs from the manticore. “Wait.” Tries silent voice. “YEE-HAW! Get along, little kitty.” Yells Applejack and jumps to back of the manticore. “Wait. “ Tries the voice little louder.
After little while the manticore throws Applejack off from its back. “Whoa! All yours, partner.” She says to Rainbow Dash while flying near her. “I'm on it.” Rainbow says with salute and takes to the manticore. “Wait!” Comes now clearly louder voice, but no one hears it. Rainbow starts to fly around the manticore so it would get dizzy, But before she can fly long the manticore hits her with its tail and throws her off course. “Rainbow!” Comes Twilights yell when she sees her companion get hurt.
Now they were all seriously pissed and even the manticore was aggravated. As they are going to attack Fluttershy jumps in front of them. “Wait!” She yells to them so that they stop.Everypony looks at Fluttershy with wide eyes. “Why did you stop us?” Twilight asks, but Fluttershy doesn’t listen her and starts to go in the direction of the manticore. The manticore (i’m gonna call it Manny, because i’m too bored to call it ‘the manticore’) watches Fluttershy with suspicious eyes and growls a little bit. As she gets near Manny, she looks into its eyes without any fear. After a while Manny shows her its paw, in it is big and dark looking thorn. “Shhh... It's okay. Oh, you poor, poor little baby.” Fluttershy says after she sees Mannys paw. “Now this might hurt for just a second.” She says and grabs the thorn in between her teeths. Suddenly she yanks her head back and removes that thorn from Mannys paw. Manny roars in agony and a while it seems that it’s going to attack Fluttershy. Rest of our heroes gasp in fear, but after they see that Manny is just licking Fluttershy they release their breath. After they get away from Manny twilight decides to ask her question. “How did you know about the thorn?” she asks from Fluttershy. “I didn't. Sometimes we all just need to be shown a little kindness.“ She answers with smile.
“Eugh. My eyes need a rest from all this icky muck.” Rarity says with disgusted look. After walking some time, clouds start filling the sky and hide moons light. “Well, I didn't mean that literally.” She continues and looks perplexed. They try to continue their journey, but it finally becomes too dark. “That ancient ruin could be right in front of our faces and we wouldn't even know it.” Twilight says with little anger in her voice. Everypony starts to tumble and hit each others in the dark. “Oh wait, I think I stepped in somethin'.” Applejack says, but gets cut of by Fluttershys scream. “It's just mud.” She continues and turns to look at Fluttershy, but when she sees what made Fluttershy scream she yelps herself. All around of them is trees with creepy faces. They all start to scream from the sight of those trees and they continue until something snaps them out of it. What they hear is laughin. All of them turn to look at the noise and what they see is Pinkie pie. “Pinkie, what are you doing?! Run! “ Twilight shouts in fright. “Oh girls, don't you see?” Pinkie says and suddenly a music starts to play. (yeah, I’m not gonna put those lyrics here.) After the song ends everypony collapses and laughs in joy.
-10 minutes of boring walk-
Twilight and her companions comes near a river. “How are we gonna cross this? Rainbow asks as they watch the foaming river. Suddenly they start to hear muffled crying. “Huh?” Pinkie says and they all turn to look where they heard those cries. What they saw there was gigantic purple sea serpent (or is he river serpent?). He had sleek Hair and moustaches, except his right moustache was missing. “Excuse me, sir. Why are you crying?” Twilight asks from the serpent. He turns to the group of ponies and looks at them with teary eyes. “Well, I don't know.” He started. “I was just sitting here when this tacky little cloud of purple smoke just whisked past me and cut my beloved mustache clean off.” He continued, his eyes starting to water again. “and now I look simply horrid.” He says and breaks back to sobs.
Everypony looks at him with different expressions. Finally the silence is broken by Rainbow. “Are you serious? All of this just because of one moustache.” She says and facepalms (hooves? whatever). “Well of course it is.” Rarity says and looks Rainbow with angry eyes. “How can you be so insensitive?” She continues and turns to look at the serpent. “Oh, just look at him. Such lovely luminescent scales.” Rarity says with smile. Hearing this snaps the serpent out of his sobbing. “I know.” He says and dries the tears from his eyes. “And your expertly coiffed mane.” Rarity continues with her compliments. “Oh, I know, I know.” The serpent says in proud tone. “Your fabulous manicure.” Rarity says and looks at his claws. “It's so true!” The serpent says with happy look in his eyes. “All ruined without your beautiful mustache.“ Rarity states with furrowed eyebrows. After hearing this The serpent starts to cry like a little filly, Again.
“It's true, I'm hideous!“ He says with self pity. Hearing this makes rarity take a determined look in her face. “I simply cannot let such a crime against fabulosity go uncorrected.” She says and yanks one of the scales from The serpent. He yelps and looks at her with surprise. Twilight watches her with quizzical look. “Rarity, what are you-” She starts to say, but is stopped when suddenly Rarity swings the sharp scale and makes her own tail fall off. After cutting her own tail Rarity takes it in her magical hold and glues it in the face of that serpent. “Oh-hohohoho! My mustache. How wonderful.” The serpent yells with happy look. “Oh, Rarity, your beautiful tail...” Twilight says to her. “Oh. It's fine, my dear.” Rarity tries to reassure Twilight, but fails. “Short tails are in this season. Besides, it'll grow back.” She continues more to herself than others. Twilight looks at her with pity. “We can cross now. Let's go.” she says and starts to trot over the river.
-20 minutes later in front of Castel of royal pony sisters.-
“There it is, the ruin that holds The Elements of Harmony. We made it.” Twilight yells with relieved tone and starts to run. Rest of the group looks each others and start to follow her. “Wait fer us!” Applejack yells to Twilight and tries to make her slow down. “We're almost there.” Twilight yells back. Suddenly she feels that there is nothing under her fore hooves and tries to backpedal. “What's with you and falling off cliffs today? “ Rainbow asks with smile and pulls Twilight back up. our group of mares looks at the broken bridge with quizzical looks. “Now what.” pinkie asks with sigh. Suddenly she feels something slam in the back of her head. She turns to look behind of her and sees Rainbow Dash. “Well, duh!” Rainbow says and waves her wings. Everyone looks her with approval. She starts to hoover first and flies to search the other side of bridge. She finally finds it and goes to tie it in to poles on other side.
Suddenly a noise comes from fog (when did it get foggy?) and makes Rainbow whip her head around. When she can’t find anything she just shrugs and continues what she was doing. “Rainbow... “ Comes a sudden voice from fog. “Who's there?” Rainbow yells at whatever it was that called her. “Rainbow...” Comes same call again. “Okay, come on out so i can beat you senseless.” Rainbow yells with anger in her voice. Suddenly Three ponies in shady attires come from the fog. They stop right in front of Rainbow and look at her. “We've been eagerly awaiti-” Starts their leader, but gets stopped by Rainbows glare.
“Were you the ones that just called me?” She asks and continues her glaring. “Y-yeah, that was us, but could you listen what i have to say?” The leader of that group says with unease look in her face. Rainbow looks at them and nods. “As i was trying to say. We've been eagerly awaiting the arrival of the best flyer in Equestria.” The leader ( Her name is Foggy Night.) says while she looks at Rainbow. Rainbow just looks at Foggy and finally breaks the silence. “You mean me?” She finally asks with one eyebrow raised “Well yes. is there any other pegasi here?” Foggy asks from her and looks around. Rainbow looks at the pony before her with eye twitching and facehooves to her question.
“Are you fucking serious.” Rainbow thinks to herself and sighs. “you know you’re really bad at this.” She says in tired tone. “I mean, you could’ve even tried to do something. But all you can do is try to tempt me and even it was really badly done.” Rainbow continues and turns back to the bridge. “I-i... W-wouldn’t you even try to reconsider my offer?” Foggy says to Rainbow with stutters. “No i’m not gonna rethink it. you probably would’ve said that i had to choose between my friends and you. Besides i don’t even really like those attires of yours.” Rainbow finally answers to Foggys question. Foggy looks at Rainbow and suddenly tears start to fall from her eyes. She turns and gallops away from the bridge and Rainbow. “Ugh, why do i get allways these morons.” Rainbow thinks and finishes her job.
Twilight and the rest of group couldn’t see what happened on the other side of bridge because of all fog. Suddenly Rainbow comes flying out of there with big smile. “See? I'd never leave my friends hangin'.” She says and starts to fly back to other side. Every pony just shrug and follow her over the bridge.
-Inside of the Castle of royal pony sisters-
Finally they are at the end of their journey. “The Elements of Harmony, we've found them.” Twilight yells with happiness in her voice. In front of our group of heroes is pedestal with big stone orbs. As they lower them from the pedestal, Pinkie counts them. “One, two, three, four... There's only five!” Pinkie says while looking confused. “Where's the sixth?” Rainbow asks as confused as her pink friend. “The book said: when the five are present, a spark will cause the sixth Element to be revealed .” Twilight answers to both of their questions. Rest of the group looks Twilight with confused expressions. “What in the hay is that supposed to mean?” Applejack finally asks. Everypony else nods to her question and looks at Twilight. “I'm not sure, but I have an idea.” Twilight says and starts to charge her horn. “Stand back. I don't know what will happen.“ She continues with her horn in glow. Her friends look in her way and start to walk away. Suddenly a dark twister appears out of nowhere and teleports away with Twilight and the elements. Rest of the group starts to panic and search where she went. Finally they notice bright light in one of the towers and start to run towards it.
-?????-
Minute floats in darkness. he’s unconscious, but is starting to wake up. “Ugh, what the hell happened and where the hell am i?” He says and holds his head with one hand. “You’re in the void.” Says a voice suddenly. Minute stops and starts to scan the area where he is. “ How did i end here?” He asks from the voice. “You don’t remember?” It asks in amused tone. “Well, i would be impressed if you actually could after all of that alcohol you consumed.” It says and chuckles little. “All i can remember is that i was drinking with those knights and then i wake up here.” Minute says in bemused tone. “Could you tell me what the hell happened and how did i end up inside the void.” Minute continues. “well, i could...” The voice says while sounding thoughtful. “Solitude!” Minute says in angry but calm voice. “Alright, alright i tell you what happened.” Solitude says with sigh.
-Heleria 1 hour earlier-
“-And that is why you shouldn’t use carrot as a sacrifice when you’re trying to summon archdemon.” Minute ended his story. His audience just stared him awhile and then burst in laugh. “Oh god, that was hilarious.” One of the knights said while laughing. “especially that part where the summoner went and insulted that demon with his incantation.” Other knight said in fit of giggles. “What about when he tried to ward it off with rhubarb and spinach?” Yet another one of them said. This just made all of them laugh harder.
Minute looked at his audience with small smile and took sips from his drink. It had been long time since he last could just stop and have a drink in good company. He sighed and looked at sky with saddened face. “How long has it been since i last could just stop and look at stars.” He thought. He stood there awhile and then shook his head. “Better just enjoy this moment.” He said with quiet voice and took gulp from the mug. Suddenly one of the knights came to him and slapped his back. “What are you doing here alone?” The knight asked from Minute. “Come and drink with us.” He continued and started to pull Minute at the celebration.
-30 minutes later-
Everyone at the celebration were completely and utterly drunk. Minute had started to show what he could do and had collected big audience again. He showed his sword and different moves he used in his battles. He had also loaned bow from one of the knights and had shot nine out of ten targets. Everyone laughed when he stumbled and shot the last arrow far away. He himself had also good time and got many laughs from both of the commanders. “Uh, Minute maybe you should slowdown little.” Solitude said to Minute with little concern in his voice. “Oh don’t be a party pooper Solitude.” Minute said out loud. “It has been long time since we last had party like this.” He continued while drinking. Solitude just sighed to his drunken words. “Just be careful. I don’t want anything to happen that you would regret.” He finally says. “Oh, shut up Solitude!” Minute yells and starts to laugh. Solitude grumbles something, but Minute doesn’t listen him. Suddenly Minute gets bright idea. Why wouldn’t he show these people one of his powers?
“Hey everyone come here” Minute yells with excited voice. Everyone turns to look at him and comes his way. “so, what did you want?” One of the knights asks. “I wanted to show all of you something cool.” MInute sas and smiles wide drunken smile. All of the peoples look at him confused until one of them asks. “Why would you want to show us something cold?” He says. Minute just frowns to his words. “No,no i meant that i wanted to show you something amazing.” he says with enthusiasm. This makes the crowd interested. “What did you want to show us?” That same knight asks again. Minutes grin widens “I want to show you portal.”
The whole crowd looks at him with confusion. “Um, what is portal?” One of them asks. “Well, portal is gateway between long distances or different universes/dimensions.” Minute lectures. His audience gasps in shock when they hear his explanation. Minute just chuckles at their reaction. “Okay everyone, stand back.” He says and starts to gather power. Suddenly he releases all the power in one strong burst and everyone is blinded by strong light. After they can see again they look at what Minute did. What they see is... just an empty field. They start to laugh and call him good jokester. After they have all left Minute looks the field with confusion. “That should have worked.” He thinks. Minute scratches his own head and turns to go after the group of knights. Suddenly he feels ground vanish underneath him. He hadn’t noticed that instead creating the portal in front of him he created it behind of himself. On the ground.
-The void-
“-And then you fell here, lost consciousness and woke up.” Solitude ends his tale. Minute tries to comprehend all of the things that happened in that short time. “Why didn’t you try and stop me.” He finally says to Solitude. “Even if i had tried you wouldn’t have listened me.” Solitude answers. “By the way. you should probably move.” He continues. Minute just raises his eyebrow to this. “Why?.” He asks in suspicion. “Because, next portal is going to-.” Is all Solitude can say before Minute starts to fall towards next portal. “-Appear below you.” Solitude finishes. “FUUUUUUUUUUUUUU-” Is all Minute can yell to this before he vanishes.
-The castle of royal pony sisters-
Twilight gets blown off from the twister that teleported her and the elements of harmony. She looks at the point where it was and what she sees is... “Nightmare Moon.” Twilight yells in surprise. Nightmare just laughs at Twilights surprise. “You little fool!” She bellows. “Did you think that i would let you just get the artifacts that banished me to the moon.” She continues. Twilight tries to come up with something that could help her against Nightmare, but only thing she can think is to... “Charge!” Twilight yells and starts to run towards Nightmare. “You're kidding. You're kidding, right?” Nightmare says to her and starts to run against her. Just before they collide Twilight uses teleportation spell so she gets near the elements. “Just one spark.” Twilight whispers and starts to gather power in her horn.
She continues gathering the power and releases all of it. The surge of power throws her back and makes all of the elements glow. “No, no!” Nightmare yells in horror. The element glow little while, but dim back to gray. “But... where's the sixth Element?!” Twilight yells at the sight. Nightmare starts to laugh. She stomps her hooves and breaks all of the elements.”You little foal! Thinking you could defeat me?” Nightmare says in triumph. “Now you will never see your princess, or your sun! The night will last forever!” [insert evil laugh here].
Twilight looks Nightmare in horror. Suddenly she hears hooves and voices coming towards them. When she hears them she feels something click inside of her. She turns to Nightmare and smiles to her. “You think you can destroy The Elements of Harmony just like that?” Twilight says in brave tone. When Nightmare hears this, she stops laughing and looks Twilight with confusion. “Well, you're wrong, because the spirits of The Elements of Harmony are right here.” Twilight says as her friends come up. (this is where she tells Nightmare what element each of her friend represents)
As she says her friends names parts of the elements float to them. “The spirits of these five ponies got us through every challenge you threw at us.” Twilight says in triumph. “But you don’t have the sixth element.” Nightmare says in panic. “The spark didn't work!” She continues. Twilight turns to look at her with power filled gaze. “But it did!” She finally says. she turns back to her friends. “the spark, that resides in the heart of us all, it creates the sixth element.” she says and smiles to them. “the element of-” Is all Twilight can say. when suddenly a burning ring appears over the mares. They all look the random rip in space with perplexed looks on their faces. Suddenly, voice starts to come from the portal and all of the mares (including Nightmare) look at it with confusion. “-UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK.” The voice says and something falls from portal. All of the ponies look at the new arrival With different reaction.
Twilight blinks in confusion, Rainbow glares at it, Applejack facehooves at the sight, Rarity looks at the clothes of the creature (and frowns at what she sees), Pinkie has a wide grin plastered on her face, Fluttershy is hiding behind her friends and Nightmare has ‘ what the fuck is going on’ look on her face. after a while the creature starts to stand up and rises to its two feets. First it doesn’t say anything and everypony in room looks at him with confusion. “Son of a mother fuckin, cock sucking-” He starts suddenly yell curses. As the cursing continues and starts to get creative about someone's rectum and cactus becoming one, The mares in room start to blush furiously to his words. “-With a stick sideways!” He finally ends his burst of curses. After taking deep breaths he finally calms down.
“Sorry about that.” He says and turns to look at the others in room. What he sees makes him go silent. For little while no one says a word. Finally The newest arrival breaks the silence. “Hmm, not the weirdest thing i have seen.” He says with shrug.

-Equestria, Everfree forest-
The castle of royal pony sisters. Once a great fortress, now just an old ruin in creepy forest. For thousand years it had been without any life, excluding some occasional little critters and birds. Now there was something going on, something big.
Inside the castle seven mares and one human watched each others in awkward silence. “So, what are you things?” The human finally asks and breaks the silence. when he doesn’t get answer he raises an eyebrow. “Hello! Are you listening, or are you even sentient?” He asks after while. "please be sentient, i hate worlds without sentient life. Minute thinks to him self. His words snap all of the mares out of their shocked states. “Yes we are sentient.” One of the mares answer. “But what are you and where did you come.” The purple mare in front of five others asks in suspicious tone. the humans mouth turns to wide grin when he hears her question. “Well, i’m known as many and to answer your other question... Where didn’t i come from?” He says with widening grin.
All the mares look at him in confusion. finally the silence is broken by loud voice. “What are you, creature?” The black mare bellows to the human. He turns to look at her and continues smirking. “Oh, i already said. I’m known as many, but if you want to know my name it’s Lord 15 minutes.” He answers. The black mare looks at him with anger in her eyes. “Lord of what, creature?” She asks loudly. Minute looks at her while holding his ears. “Hey, no need to yell.” He says and glares at her. “I’m not lord of anything, it’s just my name.” He continues, while still looking at the mare. Everyone is silent again until Minute continues. “By the way what are your names? None of you have told their names even though i gave mine.”
The group of six mares look at him and after while the purple one starts to talk. “I’m so sorry for that, My name is Twilight Sparkle and these are my friends.” Twilight says and points her hoof towards rest of the group. “This is Applejack” She says and points towards the orange mare. “Howdy.” She says and tips her hat. Minute just nods. “This is Rarity.” Twilight continues. “Good evening.” the alabaster unicorn says in refined tone. “It is pleasure to meet you miss.” Minute answers to her with slight tip of his hat. “This here is Pinkie Pie.” Twilight says and points the pink mare. “Hello mister Minute sir.” Pinkie says with grin. “Oh, which do you like more cupcakes or muffins.” She randomly asks. Minute raises his Eyebrow to her question. “I really like blueberry muffins, but chocolate chip cupcake is near second.” He answer to Pinkies question. Pinkie looks at him and her grin widens. Twilight looks at Pinkie and shakes her head at confusion. “Anyway, this is Rainbow Dash.” Twilight says and points the cyan mare. She looks at Minute With narrowed eyes. “I’m watching you” Rainbow finally says. “And finally this is- Hey where did Fluttershy go?” Twilight asks in confusion. “Do you mean that yellow and pink ball behind Rainbow?” Minute asks from Twilight. Twilight looks where Minute is pointing and nods. “Yes she is j-” Is what Twilight manages to say when loud voice interrupts her.
“What are you doing.” The black mare yells with loud voice. Minute turns to glare at her. “Could you quiet down little? We’re trying to get know to each other's.” He says with frustration. “Besides who are you?” He asks from her. The mare looks at him with angry glare. “I’m Nightmare Moon, bringer of eternal night and mistress of nightmares!” She bellows. “And soon i will be the ruler of Equestria.” She continues in triumph. Minute looks at her little while and starts to chuckle.
As he continues to laugh, all the mares look at him in confusion. Finally he calms down enough to stop giggling. “So you’re some kinda of bad guy?” Minute asks from Nightmare. Nightmare is just about to answer, but Minute cuts her off. “Actually don’t answer to that. You’re probably just some unfortunate pony that had really much power, but got corrupted by her anger and/or jealousy.” He says to her. Nightmare just glares at him and huffs to his words. Minute sighs to this and shakes his head. “You’re lucky that i have seen something like this before.” He finally says and starts to search the insides of his coat.
He’s just about to start take something from his coat, but gets stopped by Twilight. “Actually just before you fell we were about to use the elements of harmony to her.” Twilight says in serious tone. Minute turns to look at her in confusion. “The elements ofwhatnow?” He asks from Twilight with raised brows. “The elements of harmony, they are powerful magical artifacts that were used to banish Nightmare to moon.” She tells him. Minute looks her awhile and then shrugs. “ Okay then.” He says and walks near a wall behind Twilight. “ If you need help just yell to me.” He yells and turns to watch what is going to happen.
Twilight turns to Nightmare and takes a stance. “As i was saying before our friend fell. ”She says and looks Minute. He smiles widely and waves to her. “Where was i?” Twilight says and closes her eyes. “Oh, yes. it was different spark, the spark, that resides in the heart of us all, it creates the sixth element.” Twilight says and the elements around her friends activate again. “The element of magic.” She states. Suddenly a blinding light appears over twilight and what they see is sixth stone orb. The pieces of elements connect to jewelry around Twilight's friends necks and the sixth orb turns to tiara that goes to twilight's head. “That’s impressive.” Minute says from sideline where he looks the spectacle unfolding before him. Suddenly the group of mares start to float and shine. Brilliant rainbow bursts from the elements and heads to Nightmare. It encases her in its rainbow colored embrace. After awhile the rainbow turns to blinding light and Minute has to shield his eyes.
Finally all of a light dies down and Minute drops his hand to look what happened. What he sees is six mares unconscious in middle of the room and seventh night blue mare not far from them. “So she is the one who was corrupted.” Minute thinks and scratches his chin. All around the night colored mare is parts of Nightmares armor. “Hmm, maybe i could...” He starts to think. “Hey solitude what do you think about that armor.” Minute asks from his companion. “It looks like something created with shadow magic and hardened it with some ritual. We should study them.” Solitude answers to him. “You should take them with you, but don’t leave any pieces behind.” Solitude continues with concerned voice. Minute just nods and starts to work.
-10 minutes later-
Twilight and the other elements start to wake up from their sudden use of power. “Ugh, my head.” Rainbow says while holding her forehead. “Everypony okay?” Applejack asks with concern. Everyone answers to her and she lets out her breath. “Oh, thank goodness.” Rarity suddenly yells. Fluttershy turns to look her. “Why Rarity, it's so lovely. “ She says to her. “I know! I'll never part with it again.” Rarity says and hugs her tail. “No. Your necklace. It looks just like your cutie mark.” Fluttershy says and points the necklace. “What? Ooh. So does yours.“ Rarity says back to Fluttershy. “Gee, Twilight! I thought you were just spoutin' a lot of hooey, but I reckon we really do represent the elements of harmony.” Applejack says to Twilight with smile.
Suddenly Sun starts to raise and bright light shines through window. From the light descends a pure white alicorn. “Indeed you do.” She says with smile and looks everyone in room. Everyone gasps when they see who she is. “ Princess Celestia.” Twilight yells and runs to her teacher. “Twilight Sparkle, my faithful student. I knew you could do it.” Celestia tells to Twilight and nuzzles her. “But... you told me it was all an old pony tale.” Twilight says to her teacher while looking confused. “I told you that you needed to make some friends, nothing more.” Celestia says and shakes her head. “I saw the signs of Nightmare Moon's return and I knew that you were the one that had the magic inside to defeat her.” She continues with smile. suddenly her smile turns to frown. “but you could not unleash it until you let true friendship into your heart.” She says and sighs. “Now if only another will as well.” Celestia says and turns to look the deep blue alicorn.
“Princess Luna!” Celestia says and starts to walk towards the other alicorn who gasps when she hears her own name said. “It has been a thousand years since I have seen you like this.” Celestia says and looks Luna with stoic face. After while she starts to smile. “Time to put our differences behind us. We were meant to rule together, little sister.” She says and continues smiling. When everyone hears Celestia's words their mouths drop. “Sister!” All of the elements yell same time. Celestia doesn’t care about their sudden yells. “Will you accept my friendship?” She asks from the Night alicorn. Luna looks her sister little while before she jumps to her. “I'm so sorry! I missed you so much, big sister!” She says with tears streaming from her eyes.”I've missed you, too.” Celestia says while smiling and creating couple of tears herself.
Suddenly a slow clapping interrupts the beautiful reunion. Everyone in the room turns to look where the sound is coming. Behind them stands Minute leaning in the door frame. “Well, isn’t this just cute.” He says and stops clapping. He looks everyone in the room awhile before turning to look Twilight. “Congratulations, you just defeated great evil and without even destroying or banishing her.” He says while smirking. Twilight looks him and smiles back. “What manner of creature are you?” Comes suddenly Celestia’s voice. Everyone turns to look at her. Minute looks at her and decides to answer, but before he can another voice starts to talk.
“Oh oh, he’s an alien that came through this, cool glowy ring in sky. When he fell from it he was like ‘argh’ and then he went like ‘splat’ straight to ground. then he standed up and started to yell these really bad words and after he stops he looks all of us and says ‘i’ve seen weirder things’ and i’m like ‘huh’ and everypony else is like ‘what’ and then he asks us that what are we and-” Pinkie continues her rambling but no one is listening any more. “I’m lord 15 minutes, but you can call me Minute.” Minute says and looks at Celestia.
Celestia looks back at him with one eyebrow raised. “I asked what are you not who are you.” She says and glares at him. Minute just smirks to her words. “Maybe so, but it’s always better ask someone's name before asking what he is.” Minute says and widens his smirk. “But to answer your question, i’m human.” He says and holds out his hand. Celestia looks him and then his hand before she finally shakes it. Suddenly a voice comes behind them. “-And that is how dragonborn saved Skyrim and whole Tamriel.” Pinkie finally finishes her rant. Everyone in the room looks at the pink mare with ‘what just happened’ looks, excluding Minute who just chuckles to her words. “Well, that was entertaining.” Minute says and snaps everyone out of their shocks.
15 minutes through heaven, hell and everything between
-Everfree forest, The castle of royal pony sisters-
Inside the castle of royal pony sisters, Celestia, Luna and the elements looked at the human. “So, could you tell about your self?” Twilight suddenly asks from minute. He turns to look at the purple mare and rises his left eyebrow. “You want to know about me right here, right now, in ruins middle of creepy forest?” Minute asks back. Twilight blushes to his answer and averts her gaze. “but, you’re so interesting and new. something that Equestria has never seen.” Twilight says and looks Minute with pleading eyes. “I just want to be first to know everything about you and your people.” She finishes without turning her eyes off him. Minute looks at her and sighs. “Twilight now is not the right time, maybe when we get out of this forest i can tell something about myself.” He says and turns away from her.
“Yes, it would be best if we left this dreadful forest.” Celestia says when she hears Minutes words. Everyone (excluding minute) looks at the princess of sun. “Are we going to walk through Everfree again?” Twilight asks from her teacher. Celestia looks at Twilight and smiles to her. “No my student, i’m going to teleport us all out of here.” She says and turns her gaze around the room they are. “Everypony please come near me so i can take us back to Ponyville.” Celestia says and walks in the middle of room. Everyone huddles near the princess except the human who stands near the entrance. When he sees that all of the ponies in room are looking at him he coughs little bit.
“I’m not going to come with you.” Minute says. “I would like to walk there through this forest.” he continues and takes something from inside of his coat. “Twilight take this.” He says and throws a metal ball to Twilight. Twilight looks at the weird object before she looks at Minute. “What is this?” Twilight asks from Minute. Minute looks twilight with smile. “It’s nothing dangerous, just a beacon so i can find you.” He says and looks celestia. “It is better if you go so you can show to your subjects that you’re alright.” Minute says and turns to look out of the window. “Yes, it would be best. Come now everypony, so we can leave.” Celestia says and with great flash of her horn all the ponies vanish.
“Alone again.” Minute thinks in the silence of the castle. “You’re never alone.” Says Solitudes voice in Minutes mind. “Because i’m always with you.” He says and shifts inside of Minutes mind. “Oh, hardy har.” Minute answers to his companions words. He looks at the window and the scene that unfolds before him.
“You know i can sense you, right?” Minute suddenly says to the room. First nothing happens , but after awhile shadows start to swirl in end of the room and two teal eyes open in it. The eyes look at him little while before narrowing. “How did you know i was still here?” Asks a voice from shadows. Minute turns to look at the shadow and smiles to it. “It wasn’t really hard to guess that you survived from ‘the rainbow of doom’.” Minute says while looking in the shadows teal eyes. “You see, when you are as old as me you are bound to pick some skills and besides i could feel that those elements of harmony aren’t meant to kill.” He says and smiles at the shadow. It just sighs to his words and shudders little.
“Before those fillies used the elements of harmony to separate me from luna, What were you going to do?” The shadow asks from Minute. He looks at her with wide grin. “Oh, i was going to use a little device that i picked in my travels and seal you inside bottle.” Minute says with little chuckle. “But don’t worry after they used the elements on you, i can feel that you’re not going to do anything like that again.” He says and looks out again. Outside of the window he can see. “So, Nightmare what are you going to do now that you’re your own entity?”
Nightmare looks him with her eyes full of confusion. “I-i don’t know.” She finally stammers. Minute just sighs to her answer. “That is what i feared.” Minute says and turns to look Nightmare. “You can’t stay here, because you wouldn’t be able survive alone in this forest.” He says and sighs again. “It would be better if you came with me, but so that no one would notice you.” Minute says with serious face. Nightmare just looks at him before she mumbles something. “What did you say?” Minute asks from her. “I said, thank you.” Nightmare answers to him. “T-thank you for not attacking me, e-even though i t-tried to shroud the whole e-equestria in eternal night.” She says with... “Is she crying?” Minute thinks while looking at Nightmare. As Minute looked Nightmare he could see tears falling from her teal eyes. “It must be because she was born from lunas hate and jealousy. Now that she has been ‘purified’ she is just like a lost child.” He thinks and sighs. “Why do i always end in situations like this?” Minute thinks and facepalms. “It is probably because you hate to see anyone cry.” Comes Solitudes amused answer out of nowhere. Minute just smiles to his words.
Suddenly a splitting headache goes through Minutes mind. With gasp he falls to one knee while holding his head. Beautiful black haired woman was standing before Minute. She looked like she had been crying. Minute goes to talk her. “T..nk y.u.” Comes her voice after little while and after saying this she gives fast peck to Minutes cheek.
“A-are you alright mr.Minute.” Comes Nightmares voice suddenly from front of him. “Y-yes i’m okay.” Minute says in reassuring tone. “You’re still having those flashbacks, aren’t you?” Says Solitudes voice in Minutes mind. Minute just sighs to Solitudes words and nods slightly. “i can never forget her.” He thinks and sighs again.
After standing while and looking out of the window Minute finally turns to look at Nightmare. “I need to get going." Minute says and looks Nightmare. "Do you want to come with me?" He asks from her with raised eyebrow. Nightmare looks at him with confusion, before it turns to happiness. "Oh, thank you, thank you." She continues saying from the shadow. “Okay, okay.” Minute says and smiles to her happiness. “You can hide in my coats shadows.” He says to her. After hearing this Nightmare flies from the shadow to inside of Minutes trench coat. Minute smiles again and starts to walk out of the castle.
-10 minutes later, Outside of castle ruins-
As Minute gets outside he looks the Everfree and inhales deeply. “What a nice little forest.” He says and starts to walk. As he walks forward he takes a compass looking object from inside one of his many pockets. “Let’s see.” He says and looks at the device. “So that way.” He says and starts to walk again. “Are you completely sure this is the right way.” Solitude asks. “Don’t worry, When have i ever been wrong?” Minute says and continues walking. Solitude just sighs.
-20 minutes later-
“We’re lost, aren’t we?” Solitude asks in deadpan tone. Minute looks at the device and scratches his head. “No we’re not! We’re not just... where we’re supposed to be.” Minute says nonchalantly. “Yeah we’re lost.” Solitude says and sighs. “We are not lost.” Minute answers to him. “We’re just geographically misplaced.” He continues with nervous smile. “If i had hands, i would be facepalming so hard right now.” Solitude says. “I’m going to sleep, if you need me just wake me up” Solitude says after a while and stops talking. Minute just continues walking and looks at the device once in awhile.
Suddenly a scream pierces the air and perks Minute from his thoughts. “What was that.” Comes Nightmares sleepy voice from inside Minutes coat. “I don’t know, but i better check it out.” He says and starts running to where he heard the scream. As minute runs he suddenly comes to a clearing. In middle of the clearing is big tree and in the tree sits a pegasus. She has deep blue coat and mane with light blue and white highlights. She also has same kind of tattoo that those other ponies had. It is crescent moon with fog going over it. All around the tree is wooden wolves that try to jump and catch her.
-Pov change, 3rd person Foggy Night-
In the tree Foggy Night sits stiff from the horror. “Everything was normal until last evening.” She thinks. “Then comes that purple smoke and i wake in middle of Everfree. When i try to get out Timberwolves start to chase me and i have to run in tree, because my wing got hurt while i was unconscious.” She thinks and looks up. “And now some kind of hairless diamond dog came from the forest, why did this have to happen me.” She thinks and starts to sob. as she continues her sobbing she sees that the creature starts walking.
Foggy watches as the creature starts to come towards the tree. Suddenly it starts to talk in language she has never heard. All the wolves turn to look at the new creature and biggest of them barks to it. Foggy watches how the creature again says something in that weird language and the wolf barks back it dawns to her. “Are they talking?” She thinks in awe. The creature says yet again something, but the leader wolf barks angrily to it. Foggy sees that the creature pinches the bridge of its nose and sighs, then it says something and draws the gigantic sword from its back.
-Pov change, 3rd person Minute-
Behind the wolves Minute looks at the sobbing pegasus. “How the hell did she get in this situation?” He asks from no one while scratching his head. “I probably should get rid of those wolves.” Minute says and looks at the wolves. He starts to walk towards them and talk at same time. “Hello,there” Minute yells to the wolves.
When the wolves hear his words they turn to look at him. “Who are you?” The biggest wolf barks to Minute. “You know language of forests? Many don’t know it, so who are you?” It barks again In interest. “I’m Lord 15 minutes and i know the language of forests because i'ma friend of forests.” Minute yells to the alpha wolf. The alpha watches him sternly. “Why you here? Why you bother us?” It finally asks. Minute stops and looks at all of the wolves. “I’m here because i heard scream. when i come i see pony in tree and want to save it.” He says and looks in the eyes of alpha. “No! Pony ours, not yours. Go away.” The alpha says and turns back to the tree. “So be it.” Minute says and draws his sword.
Minute takes the sword in his both hands and starts to run towards nearest wolf. before the wolf can even turn he slices its head off. The second wolf turns, but before it can do anything Minute takes its both front legs in one great swing. Now all of the wolves turn to look at him. Minute runs fast to the next pair of wolves and tries to kill them in one swing. the first one jumps away, but second doesn’t notice Minutes sword in time and gets cut in half. The wolf that got away from Minutes swing, lunges to his left hand and bites it. Minute yells in pain and hits the wolf with his right hand. the wolf lets go and yelps in pain. Minute looks it and suddenly red aura starts to swirl around his left hand. As the aura continues swirling, markings in his hand start to shine red. “Burn” Is all he says and brilliant flame shoots out of his left hand, burning the wolf in cinders. Rest of the wolves flinch from sight of fire and start to back down. Minute turns to look at rest of the pack. “Run or burn to cinders in my flames.” He says with voice that begets horror. Without second thought all the wolves turn and run away.
Minute exhales and sits down. He turns his gaze to the tree where the pegasus still sits with her mouth agape. “Hey, come down it’s safe now.” He yells to the pegasus. She looks at Minute and shakes her head. “I-i’m not coming down, so that you could eat me.” She yells back. Minute facepalms to her words. “Do you think i would be asking you to come down, if i wanted to eat you.” He yells angrily and makes the already scared pegasus even more horrified. Minute groans to the sight before him. “Just come down, i’m not going to eat you.” Minute says at lower volume. The pegasus looks at him with frightened eyes. “Y-you promise.” She yells to him. “Yes i promise, come down so we can get the hell out of these woods before something else tries to eat you.” Minute says in audible voice. This gets the pegasus ears perk up and she quickly comes down. “C-can we leave?” She asks. Minute looks her awhile and stands up. “Yeah, let’s go” He says and looks at his compass device before starting to walk and the pegasus mare starts to trot after him.
-2 Hours later-
They were still walking in silence. suddenly the silence is broken by soft voice. “Thank you for saving me from those wolves.” The mare says and looks at Minute. “No need for thanks, but i would like to know your name.” He says without turning his gaze from the forest before him. The blue mare looks at him before answering. “M-my name is Foggy Night.” She says and continues her trotting. “Nice to meet you miss.Night. My name is Lord 15 minutes, but you can call me Minute.” He says and looks Foggy with smile. Foggy looks at his ice blue eyes. As she looks them, she blushes and averts her gaze. Minute just shrugs and turns to look before them.
As they walk there starts to be more and more light around them. Finally Minute can see edge of the forest. “Well, looks like we are finally out of this forest.” Minute says with small smile. “Can you get home from here miss.Night?” He asks from Foggy. She blushes when he speaks to her. “Please just call me Foggy, all my friends do.” She says and looks at Minute. “And to answer your question, Yes i can find my way home just fine.” She continues and smiles. Minute smiles back to her. “Well then i better get going so those who wait me won’t get worried.” He says and starts to run towards the town.

15 minutes through heaven, hell and everything between
CH.6 "What the hell did i do in that party?"
-Ponyville-
Beautiful town of ponyville, Inhabited by all kinds of ponies and one dragon. Usually the town doesn’t get visitors of any other specie, but today some kind of hairless diamond dog walked straight into the town.
Minute was walking through the town and looking in the compass device so he could find Twilight and others. Every once in awhile he would wave or say hello to ponies around him, but all they did was either run or stand watching him with their mouths agape. “Well, at least they haven’t taken torches and pitchforks out.” Minute thinks and smiles at the mental image of ponies with torches and pitchforks. Suddenly Minute feels something tucking the right leg of his pants. This makes him stop and turn to look whatever it was that disturbed his walk. What he sees is small filly. she has yellow coat and red mane that is tied with pink bow. Curiously she doesn’t have picture in her flank like Twilight and her friends.
“Excuse me mister, but what are ya?” The yellow filly asks from minute. This sudden question makes minutes eyebrows shoot up. “Little pony, aren’t you afraid of me.” He asks and looks at the pony's eyes. “No, not really. Ya see, when ah saw that ya came to town ah was little scared.” She starts. “But then ah saw that ya were just walkin’ and lookin’ that metal thing in yer claws, ya also said hello to every pony that ya saw.” she continues and smiles. Minute just chuckles to what she just said. “I see, and you just decided to come and talk to creature that you know nothing.” Minute says while arching his left eyebrow. “Yes, but mister why are ya here?” She asks. Minute just chuckles again. “I’m here to see Twilight Sparkle and her friends.” He says and looks around. “Yer searchin’ Twilight? Mah sister is her firend, follow me and ah take ya to them.” The yellow filly says and starts to trot away. Minute just shrugs and starts to follow her.
“What's yer name?” The filly asks from minute after they have walked a while. “My name is Lord 15 minutes, but you can call me Minute.” Minute says without turning his gaze from road. The filly looks at him and blinks before starting to giggle. “Yer name is funny, mister Minute.” She says. Minute looks at her and chuckles little himself. “Yes it really is weird, but it’s still my name.” He says and smiles. “But what is your name little filly.” He asks and looks her. the filly stops giggling and looks him. “Ah’m Apple bloom, nice ta meet ya mister Minute.” She says with wide smile. “Yes and nice to meet you too.” Minute says and turns to look ahead.
“There mah sister is.” Apple bloom yells and starts to run towards a group of ponies. Minute looks at where she is going and there really is Applejack and other ponies he met in that castle. “Applejack, Applejack!” Apple Bloom yells and runs to her sister. Applejack turns to look who is yelling. “Apple Bloom, What are ya yelling?” She asks and looks her sister. “Well, ya see. Ah was goin’ back to home, but then ah saw this weird creature walking in ponyville .” Apple Bloom starts to tell. “Ah was little scared, but then ah saw that it just waved and said hellos to everypony so ah decided to go and say hello to it mahself.” She tells and looks her sister. “When ah said hello to him and asked what he was doing he told me that he was lookin’ ya and yer friends so ah brought him here.” She finishes and smiles widely. Applejacks looks her sister with her eyes wide and turns to look the smiling human behind Apple Bloom.
Minute looks around and sees that someone has put up a party in there. “So why the party?” He asks and looks Applejack. “Uh, ah, hmm... Pinkie decided to make party because we saved Equestria and it’s summer sun celebration.” She says little startled by Minutes sudden question. “A-ah gotta go, Apple Bloom come!” She says hastily. “Bye mister Minute.” Apple Bloom yells and waves to him. Minute waves back in confusion. “Well that was weird, what was with her?” Minute thinks, but just shrugs it off.
Minute continues his stroll through the party. All around him ponies look startled and shuffle away from him. Minute just thinks it is because he looks bit scary to them. Suddenly cyan blurr hits ground before him. As the dust settles down Minute sees Rainbow Dash before him. Rainbow goes in coughing fit from all of the dust in air. Finally she clears her throat and looks Minute with narrowed eyes. “What are you doing here?” She asks with little bit anger in her tone. Minute look Rainbow with surprised look. “Um, i followed the beacon and it brought me here.” He says. Rainbow looks confused. “The metal ball that i gave to Twilight.” Minute says in deadpan tone. “But we-” Before she can say anything, a lasso shots out of nowhere and pulls her away from Minute.
Again Minute is left standing in confusion. “Hmm... maybe she was just needed somewhere.” He thinks and shrugs. “You know if someone is needed somewhere, that isn’t the way to call them.” Solitude says with deadpan tone. “Hey, how can i know. If you remember, there has been weirder customs then that. Like those ram heads said hello with headbut or how those weird fluffy things tried to execute me with throwing feathers.” Minute answers in annoyance.
Minute walks and watches how the ponies party around him. Suddenly he sees Pinkie going to alley. “Maybe Pinkie could tell me what is going on.” Minute thinks and smiles. “This isn’t going to end well.” Solitude says with sigh. Minute decides to not answer and starts to run towards the alley where he saw pinkie vanish.
He enters the alley, but there is no one. “Well that is weird.” He says to no one. Suddenly he feels something hit the back of his head. He tumbles little and holds his head. “Ow, What the fuck.” He curses and turns, but there is nothing behind him. “Who the fuck just hit me?” He says in pain. “I did!” Comes happy voice behind him and something hits him again. This time Minutes field of vision starts to darken and he can feel his consciousness slipping. Before darkness completely takes him over he can feel that something makes him float. “I told you so.” Says Solitudes voice and darkness takes him completely.
-?????-
Minutes eyes start to open and he can feel headache coming. When he tries to hold his head Something stops him. Minute tries to free his hands, but in vain. “Where the hell am i and what happened to me?” Minute thinks in confusion. “You got hit in the back of your head by pink pony with big hammer.” Solitude says and yawns. “Pink pony? Like Pinkie Pie?” Minute asks. “Yeah that is what those others called her.” Solitude says in bored tone.
“Wait where is my coat and sword?” MInute suddenly says. “Those ponies took them. Why?” Solitude asks. “Nightmare was inside my coats shadow and you know that ponies really don’t like her, because of that eternal night thing.” Minute says and thinks what those ponies would do to her if she was caught. “Thats all? Don’t worry she hid in shadows when you were being dragged away.” Solitude says and yawns again. Minute just sighs with relief.
Minute looks around and notices that he is under ground, but not deep. “Ok, Why the hell am i in prison.” Minute says aloud. Suddenly he hears door opening and turns to look where the noise came. Where he heard the noise he sees stairs and open door at the end of them. “Silence human!” a familiar voice says from the door frame. When Minute hears the voice his face turns to grin. “Hey, Princess C. Why am i here?” He yells.
Celestia steps from door frame and descends the stairs down. “You are here because i do not want any of you humans in my kingdom.” She says with anger filled tone. minute looks her with inquiring look. “What do you mean?” He asks. Celestia looks him with narrowed eyes. “What i mean is that you shouldn’t have come here, human.” She says. Minute just looks her with deadpan stare. “You know that is kinda rude. I do have a name” He says and grins widely. Celestia's eyes narrow more. “By the way, why are you so bitter about humans?” Minute asks and scratches the side of his nose. Celestia's eyes widen and she goes to defensive stance with her horn glowing. “How did you get your bindings off?” She asks with anger. Minute just looks her and then his left hand “It wasn’t really hard. i just cut it so i could scratch my nose.” He says and yawns little.
“but how?.” Celestia asks in confusion. Minute looks her with his left eyebrow arched. “i have my ways.” He says and looks Celestia “How did you even know about humans?” Minute asks in confusion. “I mean, when we were in that castle you didn’t say anything.”
Celestia watches as Minute continues his rant. “I didn’t say anything because i wished that you wouldn’t come out of everfree at all.” She says with malice. “And how i know is because one of my old enemies brought your kind in Equestria and they did horrible things here.” She ends and looks Minute.
Minute looks Celesti awhile before bursting at laugh. “So because you have seen some of my kind you decided that i was as ‘evil’.” He says and smiles widely. Suddenly his face darkens and red tint comes to his eyes. “If you must know, I can be your worst enemy or your best ally. But it all depends how you treat me.” After saying this his face lightens up and smile comes back.
Celestia looks Minute with perplexed eyes before snorting. “You can stay here and rot the rest of your life.” She says and turns to leave. Minute just smiles to her words. “I hope you change your mind Princess C. Because if i want to get out of here, i will.” Hearing humans words Celestia shudders and leaves.
- 8 hours later-
Two guards stand in front of cell. Inside Minute is lying on the bed and hums a nice tune . Suddenly he starts to sing.
I used to rule the world
Seas would rise when I gave the word
Now in the morning I sleep alone
Sweep the streets I used to own
Suddenly another deeper voice starts to sing. The guards look around in confusion, but without finding anyone
I used to roll the dice
Feel the fear in my enemy's eyes
Listen as the crowd would sing
"Now the old king is dead! Long live the king!"
Again Minute sings and all the guards are in complete bewilderment of this sudden musical number.
One minute I held the key
Next the walls were closed on me
And I discovered that my castles stand
Upon pillars of salt and pillars of sand
Suddenly the second voice joins in. Now The guards turn to look in cell and see that Minute is encased in black aura. his left eye is blood red and right is ice blue. As he sings it sounds like two voices are singing same time. All they can do is watch in horror as the Human stands up and sings.
I hear Jerusalem bells are ringing
Roman Cavalry choirs are singing
Be my mirror, my sword and shield
My missionaries in a foreign field
For some reason I can't explain
Once you go there was never
Never an honest word
And that was when I ruled the world
The deeper voice sings in sad tone and minute looks the ceiling before he turns to look guards outside the cell. They flinch at the sight of Minutes eyes.
It was the wicked and wild wind
Blew down the doors to let me in
Shattered windows and the sound of drums
People couldn't believe what I'd become
Suddenly red aura starts to swirl around Minutes left hand and the black markings turn Yellow. He makes a slashing motion with his hand. First nothing happens, but after while the bars drop slashed in half. All the guards go in panic and start to flee
Revolutionaries wait
For my head on a silver plate
Just a puppet on a lonely string
Oh who would ever want to be king?
“Sound an alarm, The prisoner is escaping!” One of the fleeing guards yell.
I hear Jerusalem bells are ringing
Roman Cavalry choirs are singing
Be my mirror, my sword and shield
My missionaries in a foreign field
For some reason I can't explain
I know Saint Peter won't call my name
Never an honest word
But that was when I ruled the world
Minute steps out of his cell and looks in the way where the guards fled.
I hear Jerusalem bells are ringing
Roman Cavalry choirs are singing
Be my mirror, my sword and shield
My missionaries in a foreign field
For some reason I can't explain
I know Saint Peter won't call my name
Never an honest word
But that was when I ruled the world
He finally stops singing and looks forward with wicked smile. “I warned you ‘C’. I will get out of here, with one way or another.”
