*Do not read this story until you've read A Unicorn's Red Despair, well, you can, just, everything will make more sense if you just read the first part of course...first. The X's separate two parts. Reviews are also lovely. I can deal with criticism. Anyway, sorry to annoy anybody with this message. Enjoy.

Luna walked into the room where Celestia was held. The walls were made of fine stone and the lanterns were put up next to the other, leading round in the circular room. Celestia was in chains, the color of her mane completely drained. She sat lifeless almost, and her breaths were slow and steady. At the sound of Luna's hooves, she lifted her head slowly, and tried to move. But the golden chains that bound her made her incapable of any movement at all. Celestia gritted her teeth.

"Well, well, sis. I'm glad to finally see you again. Especially after I drained every last bit of your power. Your life is on the line, the clock is ticking. But don't worry. Once you're gone, Equestria and the other lands will be all mine." Celestia hissed at Luna, who jumped back in shock. She laughed loudly and wickedly.

"You'll pay for what you've done. I've sent Twilight, Rarity, and their friends as well as summoned a new warrior to fight against you. I thought I loved you, but I was wrong. I should have seen this coming from the start of Rarity's awakening love." Luna paused, and immediately put interest into her "sister's" statement. Celestia bowed her head, and a tear fell from her eye.

"You knew she felt love for Twilight from the start? Why didn't you stop it?"

"I wanted history to change. I wanted my student to have the life I could not."

"Well now look what you've gotten yourself into. It was a stupid mistake if you ask me."

"I'm sorry about everything, Luna. I should have told you we weren't-"

"Enough!" Luna yelled with her equestrian voice. Silence and a pause occurred between the two princesses, who gazed at one another silently. But each princess's eyes told a different emotion. Celestia's held a feint glow that had sorrow and despair within them. Luna had a fire of hatred and despise in her own. Luna thought that this alicorn was her sister for thousands of years, even after she was brought back from the wicked curse that turned her into Nightmare Moon. But after finding everything out, after finding out the truth, her heart was shattered and scattered in so many places. The only thing she could think of was punishing her sister and killing off the living history.

Celestia thought differently of Luna. But that changed as soon as Luna had her captured and imprisoned for treason. A princess that disobeyed her own laws that she made was indeed terrible to the ponies of Equestria. And now she would just sit back, drained of her magic and immortality, her life at death's touch, and watch Luna shroud Equestria in darkness, but one that had control over every pony's life. Luna would not rest until every pony like her, Twilight and Rarity were dead.

"Luna..."

"Celestia, I don't care about you anymore."

"Then why are you here?"

"Because, I...I..." Luna looked to the side.

"Have you come to change your mind?"

"No! I came to laugh at your suffering. I am now more powerful than any pony that ever lived. And...the entire world be at my hooves, crawling under the militia of Princess Luna. No pony will be powerful enough to stand up to me. I'm immortal and I have your powers. Not even the seven you sent on a quest will beat me after they come back." Celestia wore a wild grin on her face, and laughed weakly. Luna turned to her. "What is it?"

"I sent an eighth on a quest. She protected a goddess and she knows magic far beyond control. She's from a whole different world, and when I used the rest of my magic to wake and transport her, her body transformed into that of a unicorn pony. It was well worth it, since you didn't drain me of all my magic. You're still vulnerable." Luna gritted her teeth and snarled angrily.

"And what is the name of this new Equestrian?"

"Her name...is Lightning."

It had been so long since that day we started traveling through the desert of eternal sands. The wind became little to none, and the heat only made me sweat more. Rarity and Twilight had never not once left each others touch, for they had held hooves since we started. They had sheer determination and wet love in their eyes. I loved a pony too, but that only made me turn away from her.

My name is Fluttershy, and I have abandoned everything I loved in PonyVille to support Rarity and Twilight. Little did I know that we would be traveling across a harsh, dusty land where not a single soul lay in sight. Not even the slightest of living movement was made other than our own movements. The only things that moved were the dusty sands, and the wind and white clouds above us. Lightning seemed to take this weather like nothing, and she was holding up a lot better than us. What world was she from? She had said she was a human, but I had no clue what that was. I fell to my hooves, and every pony turned to me, especially Lightning. I blushed at the sight of Apple Jack, who made me feel sick to my stomach. But it wasn't the feeling of vomit, more the feeling of butterflies.

"Are you okay, Fluttershy?" Apple Jack asked. I fell over my words and whimpered. I was too shy for her. I could barely even speak around her. But I had seen the looks she had given Rainbow before. But there was also something I liked about Lightning. She was brave and courageous. And I found her pink mane really attractive. And her eyes glowed with a magic I didn't see before. Lightning was hiding more than just her magic. She was hiding her truths. But of course, what did I know about her? We'd only just met her. I had to keep myself together. I got up and walked past Apple Jack, pushing her gently to the side as I passed. I looked down as I did this.

"I'm fine." I said quickly and assertive. I stopped by Lightning, who crossed her hooves.

"You remind me of someone. His name was Hope. What are you scared about?" She asked calmly, yet I could hear some harshness in her voice. But she cared. I could tell. After all, I knew Kindness like the back of my hoof.

"I don't want to fight. I just want to go back home, where all of my animals could be happy. Now they're stuck in a dark, chaotic land, even worse than Discord's world." There was a pause, and Rarity now stood beside me, a smile on her face.

"Dear, it's going to be okay. We have a long ways to go." I looked ahead, and then back down.

"Yeah...you're right." I knew love sparked into my heart. It was a love for Apple Jack, and a love for Lightning. But what did I know of Lightning? I know I said this before, but...she seemed kind. And she was also mysterious. I felt a glance from Pinkie Pie, but when I looked at her, she looked down. This was the start of a journey that would change all of us forever. I couldn't help but feel only bad things would happen to us.
