Destiny

Silence pounded on their ears as the four mares stood in silence. In the distance a light shone, and suddenly a blinding light came across them. It lasted for a minute, and when they opened their eyes nothing had changed.

"It didn't work..." Colgate said in despair.

"It can't be..." Berry Punch said in disbelief.

"We're doomed," Bon Bon said, hanging her head.

Lyra was speechless. Even the princesses, all four of them, couldn't defeat the villain.

"This cant be..." Lyra thought in despair.

Suddenly there was a loud crash, and suddenly the window was broken and there stood a rather tall light gray mare, with piercing icy blue eyes and a flowing black mane. She had a unicorn horn and pegasus wings, which had a few scratches on them from the glass. Suddenly she lunged at Colgate, wrapped her hooves around her neck and twisted. Colgate fell to the ground dead. The evil alicorn began to laugh and screamed "I AM A GOD!" over and over again.

Lyra stared at Colgate's body, lying on the floor. A tear fell down Berry Punch's cheek, while Bon Bon stood there, shaking with fear.

"How dare you!" Berry Punch shrieked. "Why did you have to kill her?!"

"No one can defeat me, Caprica," Caprica spat. "I am more powerful than all the princesses."

Berry Punch's eyes flared up in hatred. She charged at Caprica, but Caprica fired a blast of magic at her. Berry was knocked back, a large, bleeding gash on her shoulder. Blood steadily poured out of it.

"Berry!" Bon Bon gasped. She rushed to her friend and began to help her. She grabbed a rag and placed it over the gash and pressed down.

"Caprica," Lyra said, taking off her saddlebag and trotting forward so she was only a few feet away from the villain. "who exactly are you?"

"I rose long ago, before Celestia and Luna were born, and I have come back to finish a task I started long ago. I will take over Equestria. No pony can stop me," Caprica explained, her blue eyes piercing into Lyra.

"Did you, by any chance, drive ponies out of a village long ago?" Lyra asked.

"I drove many ponies out of their villages, so yes," Caprica said.

"Was one in a field with a river?" Lyra asked, eyes widening.

"One of them, yes," Caprica replied flatly. "Lyra, what is the point of this?"

"How do you know my name?" Lyra asked, but she wasn't too surprised.

"I know the name of every pony in Equestria," Caprica said. "That is Bon Bon," Caprica said, pointing to Bon Bon, who was muttering words to Berry, who was in shock. "who is attending to Berry Punch, and the pony I killed is named Colgate," Caprica turned to Colgate's dead body.

Lyra stared at Caprica. The dreams, the chaos, everything....

She suddenly knew what she had to do.
