Author's Notes:
To those who have read JusSonic's first story till now, everything you know of will be rebooted due to the author's comrade have left and taking all of his OCs with him. So, everything will be changed into new timeline meaning it will be different than you expected especially restoring the history of Prime MLP: FIM Universe but will still stick with what JusSonic had envisioned. All four generation are connected but will be different.
You could say this is like Archie Sonic having characters issues with one of the writers as they have to make timeline completely different...
Power Master/Shadow Master/Nigel shall rebooted his friend's story like now but will not spoil the history of what really happens from JusSonic's Upcoming 'Cutie Re-Mark Two Parts Remake'...
After the great struggle against Starlight Glimmer especially the mad eunuch Seekcurse and nearly destruction of all the timeline; Twilight, her family and even two Mystic Ponies (Jade Adventure and Blackwitch) have returned home safely. But unfortunately, they noticed something strange and different than they remembered such as her friends didn't share the same memories as theirs, Ben's Cutie Mark is Element Triforce of Courage, Dragon War never existed, Spike's Origin and Family are completely different, Phobos's fate of meeting happens during Nyx's Birthday Party, different kind of Tireks and the history of Equestria...
In order to figure something out, Rarity gave the open suggestion of whom can help her friends. They headed to the Sea Kingdom or Atlantis - home and kingdom of all Water Tiger Nation where they trained and worked together with the sea mammals and animals as their assets and partners to defend their kingdom. And it is also where Rarity and Rainbow Dash solved the Friendship Problem which involved Aquastroke's struggle relationship with her adopted family and droughts...
At Shorty Thinking's Lab, the owner and scientist explained of how he can solved Twilight and her family's memory problems by using the 'RESTORE' or 'Animus' as Pinkie referred it for unknown random reasons. He insisted that Twilight and all of her friends and family to use it so he can oversee the memory and events while repair the damages they have in their mind...
As Twilight and her friends laid down on the metallic beds-like in circle formation, the holographic screens-like rectangle wrapper emerged and went around their heads. Shorty Thinking was standing on his main computer in controlling the rest of RESTORE's as he was preparing to oversee and analyze the memories...
"Uh... Professor, you sure this is good idea?" Ben asked in concern, "I'd rather you tell the story of how it happens..."
Shorty Thinking sighed, "I doubt that would work, Benjamin. Trust me, even if I did tell you, you won't believe it easily. So seeing is believing. I've been testing RESTORE for few times. And this time, it work perfectly."
"Really? Rainbow Dash asked in concern, "How many tries on others?"
"Nearly 60 tries," Shorty Thinking answered, "And to be honest, there were some flaws and accidents for the first 40 tries. Some were unfortunate. Others were wounded and injured during the process. And last tries, they fair well in using my project..."
Fluttershy shuttered fearfully, "I hate to ask... How many have died trying to use this thing?"
"20..." Shorty Thinking answered. Everyone yelped in shock and worry of what they just heard. He continued, "Don't worry. The last 40 of them survived and gotten use to RESTORE well. As far as I'm concern, there're no casualties and problems so far. You've got nothing to worry about."
"Sounds fun and okay," Pinkie commented happily.
Applejack hummed in concern, "I don't know. I still don't like it either..."
"I'm with you too, Applejack," Rarity nodded, "As much as I want to agree with you, Shorty; I feel we should go through some safety guidelines about using RESTORE."
Twilight nodded, "Rarity's right. We don't want to get lost or make the mess of it during our progress. Because if anything happens..." She gulped fearfully as she began panicking, "Who knows what kind of consequences we're dealing with! It could be involving of our mental health! Or maybe something to do with sickness! Or maybe the worst - ruining the history especially our memories. There's no telling what happen next!"
Spike sighed, "Twilight gone in panic mode again..."
"Mummy, you just need to relax and let Shorty do his work," Nyx said happily, "I'm pretty sure he knows what his doing."
Phobos gulped, "And why do I get the bad feeling is that we're going to die?"
Ben sighed, "Just tell us what to do, Shorty."
Shorty sighed, "Very well, we'll go through some tutorials. But pay attention as well because I'm not going to repeat it especially you, Rainbow Dash."
Rainbow Dash groaned in annoyance as she hated someone keep blaming on her. Twilight and her friends readied themselves as Shorty Thinking begin explained what RESTORE is about. The screen revealed the DNA holographic forms along with 'MEMORY DNA TIMELINE'. Twilight and her friends awed in amazement and surprise.
Zygon groaned, "I still don't like it. It sounds dangerous for Spike to handle..."
Starlight Glimmer nudged Zygon's guts, "Relax, they've been to hardships before. So, why should this one be any difference? They can handle it."
Zygon sighed, "I hope so. Spiky-Wikey is never been good being brave..." Zygon said in concern.
"Everypony, welcome to the inside of RESTORE. It's where the magic begins. It helped projecting you and everyone else to render the genetic memories in 3-Dimensional. In short term, you're all gonna relive in your past or even ancestors' past lives," Shorty Thinking explained. Everyone awed in surprise and shock of it. He continued...
"Let's start with the Memory. The memory is not only recollection of past event but specifically to individual only. But surprising factor, individual also housed his or her previous generations or ancestors' memory especially when they're in genetic - be either migration, hibernation and reproduction. And above all, they hold the knowledge and secrets of their experience with their lives from the history that was written in the first place..."
"Fun fact... Why did you do it?" Twilight asked.
Shorty Thinking smiled as he continued working in analyzing Twilight and her family's memories as well as connecting her friends to them, "Good question. At first, I'd never bother to think of it. But my experience with war against the Western Dragon Kingdom made me realize and aware of it. Ponies either forgotten or ignorance to the past or promises. Therefore, I felt like I should do more research on how to make them not only remembered but experience their ancestors' struggles and experiences in their life."
"Meaning?" Nyx asked in concern.
"A reality and experienced lesson for everyone to understand the morality and truth behind our ancestors' action, experience, history and struggle. So, in the future, we will not make mistakes."
"Then, what about the re-connection or virus memories? What's up with that?" Ben asked in concern, "Were they dangerous or something?"
Shorty Thinking nodded, "You could say something like that, Ben. The person who shown his confusion and concern about the events and surroundings or even be forgotten, prove either be false or virus memories they carried. Either way, I can be alert of it. I can removed it and restore them to the way it was but takes very long time..."
"And what happen if the person doesn't remember of how it happens?" Fluttershy asked in concern.
Applejack shuddered fearfully, "I don't even want to think of that."
"If there are couple of individuals were with him or her, I can reconnect and repair the latter's damaged memories like now. And truthfully, I should able to restore individual's own memory," Shorty Thinking said happily. He gasped, "Ah... Here we are! It is the beginning of Ben Mare's journey. Are you all ready to relive in the past?"
Twilight and her friends nodded and answered happily. Ben Mare remain skeptical and worried about it.
"So, whatever happens in the past from our friends, it will be different from what we experienced? Right?" Ben asked.
Shorty nodded, "Theoretically, yes. From what Rarity have told me about, you and your family possessed different history from them especially Spike's origin and family."
"So once you found the virus or damage parts, you'll fix and replaced them with new one?"
"Yes... I know it's wrong but... The past you and your family used to know is long gone. For now, everything will be replaced and restored with the ones that your friends have experienced before. Everything will be clear to you now..."
Ben nodded, "Yeah... I maybe find the answer why I only have Element Triforce of Courage. It may have to do something with the price I paid to Celtic..."
"Let us begin!" Shorty exclaimed proudly.
As the holographic screens revealed the map of Canterlot and its event 'Curse of Demon Pony', Twilight and her friends awed in amazement. Suddenly, the screens glowed brightly and glared straight at their eyes. It begun...
Prologue: Twilight's Haunted Memory
At Golden Oak Library's bed chamber, Twilight and her children Nyx and Spike were having a good night sleep after the daring yet terrifying adventure and battle against Queen Chrysalis and her Changelings. Twilight was sleeping on her bed while both Nyx and Spike were sleeping on their cribs. Everything seems so peaceful and quiet. Nothing can go wrong now...
Twilight hummed and groaned unhappily like a nightmare is driving her. She haven't had those since she and her friends rescued Rarity from the mysterious shadow-like and turned Nightmare Force into gentle and caring spirits...
Dream
The young filly Twilight was running around the Canterlot Town in search of the screaming voice she heard. She looked around of her surroundings in hoping to find and saved him in time. She came across the Canterlot Park where she and some of her friends used to play. She stopped at once as she spotted the little brown Earth Pony colt was hiding behind the giant tree.
Twilight gasped, "Hang on! I'm coming! Don't be afraid!"
ROAR! Twilight and the mysterious colt yelped in shock and concern. She looked up as she found clouds were covered by darkness, filled with nonstop lightning strikes to the ground. It frightened her and her friend.
A growl sudden sounded in the filly and colt's ears. Twilight gasped in horror as she found a large dark creature growling darkly as the thunder slowly approaching her friend like wolf stalking at its prey.
Twilight gasped, "Look out!"
Before the mysterious colt could respond, the tree's trunk broke to pieces. It growled wildly at frightened one, causing him to scream in fear. The creature grabbed the colt's tail tightly as it slowly pull him away from her.
Twilight gasped in shock as she quickly gave the chase after the mysterious beast at once. But the creature moved quickly while pulling the colt away from her.
"Noooooooo!" The colt screamed fearfully as the creature pulled him all the way into darkness. He screamed, "Twilight! Helllllppppppppp!"
Twilight's eyes widened in fear as she reached her hoof out to reach her friend, "Nooooooooooo!"
The colt was dragged into darkness. He was never been seen again. It was too late...
Dream End
"DON'T LEAVE ME!" Twilight screamed in fear as she immediately stood up while holding he right hoof out in reaching her friend. She gasped in shock while showing her frightful and feared mask. She was sweating. She looked around as she found herself in her bedroom. She sighed in upset while holding her hooves in covering her face, "Not again... I thought it was gone... But it came back..."
"Mummy?" The gentle voice called.
Twilight looked down as she found both Nyx and Spike getting up from their cribs. They rubbed their eyes while yawning tirelessly.
"Is everything alright?" Nyx asked in concern.
Twilight shook her head as she swiped her sweats off, "It's...it's nothing. Hold on. I'll put you back on bed, Nyx."
Twilight got off from her bed as she approached Nyx. She tucked her little one into her crib gently. Spike noticed Twilight's upset look as he knew what's going on.
"That dream again, isn't it?" Spike asked in concern.
"It's nothing!"
As Twilight continued tucking her little one on her bed, Nyx remained worry and concern as she knew what Spike was onto. She also worried for Twilight's health as well.
"Mummy... Can you please tell us what's going on?" Nyx asked in concern, "You also can tell others about your dream too. They can help us."
Spike nodded in agreement, "Nyx's right. We want to help. I mean, when we ignored your concerns or worries at Shining and Cadence's wedding..."
"Everything's fine! Okay? Stop asking me about my dream?!" Twilight exclaimed sternly, making Nyx and Spike scared and worried of her now. She noticed the looks of theirs. She spooked them with her anger too much. She sighed, "Sorry, guys. Let's just go back to sleep. I'll be fine."
Twilight gave the kiss on Nyx's forehead and then gave Spike a pat. She turned and headed to her bed now.
Spike sighed, "Look... I didn't mean to upset you about that event. I really didn't mean it. I just want what's best for you. So... So, you won't be hurt and lonely again."
Nyx nodded in agreement, "Please, mummy... Tell others about it. They can help and deal with it. They have always been there for you. They always do..."
As Spike and Nyx went back to their sleep, Twilight sighed in upset. She hated to admit it but they were right. She needs help from her friends. They have been on her side since she came to Ponyville. It was wise of her to ask them now. The nightmares keep disturbing her as well as her guilt about the colt.
Twilight turned and looked at the window. She was looking at the full moon. She sighed, "Where are you? Please be safe..."
Twilight sighed in upset as she returned to her sleep. Hopefully, she can get over her nightmares...
It was another bright sunny day in Ponyville as the ponies were going out minding their own business and activities.
On the green hill's field where Twilight and her friends often come and have the usual Saturday morning picnic together. This time, they've brought Cutie Mark Crusaders there as well. Mane Five were preparing and setting the picnic up while the little ones were thinking of what they can do next in earning their Cutie Marks.
Apple Bloom gasped, "I got an idea. We could tried fer shape shifting! I mean it would be fun to try one."
"Shape shifting?" Scootaloo asked in shock. She scoffed, "Hate to break the news, Apple Bloom. We don't have the magic for that! But didn't those shapeshifters give everyone else troubles a while ago?"
"Well, pardon me fer trying 'ta use a power fer good, Chickenloo!"
"Don't call me that."
"Come on, girls," Sweetie Belle exclaimed as she came in between her best friends, "No need to fight over that matter. We just need to get a new idea. I actually hate to admit it - it was fun to be shapeshifter but scary when it comes to sticky situation."
Scootaloo sighed, "Yeah, you're probably right."
"Say, where's Nyx?" Apple Bloom asked in concern.
Sweetie Belle smiled, "Don't worry. She and her family are on their way here now."
Applejack smiled as she unpacked and took all of food from her basket one-by-one to the mat, "Okay, let's see...get 'de apple fritters, applesauce, applejack...heh heh heh..."
"Really? Anything in there not related to apples?" Rarity asks in amusement.
"Nope! 'Dat's all Ah done got."
"Fine... Obviously, it's like you have apples on the brain."
Applejack gave Rarity a stern glare while the lady whistled innocently as she fanned herself calmly and happily. The farm pony grunted in annoyance as she hated someone insulting her or her family about apples especially what Flim-Flam Brothers did to her. She decided to ignore her best friend.
Applejack looked up as she spotted Rainbow Dash was resting on the clouds, "Hey, Rainbow Dash! Mind giving me a hoof here?"
"Why? Don't you have four to use?" Rainbow asked slyly with her grin.
"Hardly... Ha ha... You could at least help me out here instead o' sitting on your cloud for being lazy!"
"Hey! I'm not lazy! I just need some rest."
While feeding her pet bunny Angel, Fluttershy was surprised and asked, "Rainbow, when did you get to bed last night?"
"2, 3 or maybe 5 in the morning. I forgot the time again..." Rainbow Dash answered casually. She yelped as she looked at the angry Applejack. She sighed, "Fine. If it makes you happy, I'll help you out."
Applejack smiled while nodded. As she and Rainbow Dash were setting the picnic up. she noticed and asked in concern, "Say, where's Twilight, Nyx an' Spike? They should be here by now."
Pinkie bounced happily while holding the cupcakes tray on her back. She ate her sapphire cupcake. She muttered happily with full mouths, "Well, I did come to library some minutes ago. They told me that they'll be there soon. So, I just left and meet up with the rest. They should be here now. Though... I heard some groaning noise from Twilight. I haven't heard that since the Nightmare Force. She must be getting tired or something."
Rarity hummed in concern, "That poor dear... She must be having sleeping troubles after the wedding. Perhaps, we should ask the princesses or our Human friend about it."
Applejack nodded thoughtfully, "The Princess maybe... And for Megan, I think it's best not to bother her and her family. They could be busy with their life right about now, though it's summer now. I wonder if they do come or not..."
Fluttershy gasped as she pointed out, "There they are!"
Mane Five and Cutie Mark Crusaders looked up as they found three figures were on their way to their location. Twilight was walking while carrying the saddlebag of her books as well as Spike and Nyx riding on her back. She looked very tired and sleepy.
As Twilight and her family came in, she yawned loudly, "Hey everyone... Sorry, we're late..."
"Hey Nyx!" Sweetie Belle greeted. Nyx and Spike came down from Twilight's back. She approached the black Alicorn as she asked, "We were wondering where you were."
Nyx sighed, "We've got some troubles in the morning. Mommy's a bit grumpy for some reason."
Twilight groaned in annoyance, "Nyx!"
Rainbow Dash was flapping her wings while looking at sleepy Twilight, "Yeah... Like you could fool me. Still got problem with your brother and Princess Cadance again?"
Twilight groaned, "Real funny, Rainbow!"
Applejack sighed as she patted Twilight, "Look, sugarcube... It's best that you tell us about it. We wanna help you."
Twilight sighed as she out cowgirl's hoof down, "Thanks, Applejack. But I'm fine."
"Twilight, were you having bad dream? Does this involve of your failures again? We're doing our best to send any friendship lesson letters to Princess Celestia." Rarity said in concern.
Twilight groaned a bit, "Rarity, I dropped that for months! I'm okay!"
"No, she's not. She doesn't want to admit it that she needs help." Spike whispered to Rarity. POKE! Spike yelped as he turned and found Nyx glaring at him, "What?"
Fluttershy approached and asked, "Are you worry about your relationship with the royal family? It is kinda scary and hard when you're famous. I'd never forget that time."
Twilight groaned fiercely, "No! It does not have to do with my dream!"
"Wow! Easy, Twi!" Scootaloo exclaimed in worry.
Sweetie Belle nodded, "Don't go panic mode again. The last thing I want is 'falling in love with doll' spell again."
Apple Bloom gulped upon noticing Twilight's angry looks, "She's gonna lose it!"
Twilight was about to shout but interrupted bu happy Pinkie Pie as she exclaimed, "I know! I know! I know! Is it because that you wanted to prove that there's logic behind my Pinkie Sense? No wait! Is it because that me didn't want your help to handle with the babies? I was sorry for being ignorance! Or wait! Is it because you're angry and upset with us for not being there for you?! No! Is it because of we fight with each other and fooled by those stupid Changelings when we were still finding CMC?!"
Twilight screamed angrily, "Will you just drop it for pony's sake?! I don't want to talk about it?! Do you hear me?! I don't want to talk about it!"
"Twilight, calm down! You're scaring everyone again," Spike exclaimed in concern.
Nyx nodded, "Please... We just want to help only. Please... Don't be mad at us..."
As Twilight breathed slowly and calming herself down, she looked at all of her friends' looks - they were scared, worried and anxious about her now. The purple unicorn took a deep breathe as she calmed down. She shouldn't have done that. She knew her friends just wanted to help because they were her closest best friends she ever had since her move to Ponyville.
Twilight looked down sadly, "I'm sorry, everypony..." Nyx approached as she hugged her adopted mother gently and passionately. The lavender unicorn hugged Nyx back as she continued, "It's just... My nightmare has been giving me the edge lately and... I'm sorry."
Rarity smiled as she approached and patted Twilight, "It's okay, Twilight. We understand, though I wish you should calm down than just steamed off. We were just trying to help."
Twilight sighed, "Sorry about that. Come on. Let's just eat our picnic. Don't want them to go wasted. It's from Applejack and her family, of course. They did the hard work."
Everyone nodded in agreement. As they enjoyed eating their picnic food, Cutie Mark Crusaders have their own discussion about Twilight Sparkle now.
"Nyx, is Twilight Sparkle alright?" Apple Bloom asked in concern.
Nyx sighed, "I wish I knew... She keep having the same dream since we got back from Changelings and Moon Adventure. She'd never told me about it."
"Has this been going on?" Sweetie Belle asked.
Nyx shrugged, "Who knows? It's been keeping my mummy up for whole night. One time when I went to her bedroom in asking about bring you girls for sleepover, I then heard her screaming and calling 'Don't leave me! Please! Not again'!"
"Was it you?" Scootaloo asked.
Nyx shook her head, "I don't think so. We've both gotten over it. We're still good."
"So, what was she dreaming about?" Apple Bloom asked in concern.
Spike overheard the girls talking as he decided to join in, "To be honest, no one knows. She'd never told me anything, even though I'm number one assistant. I tried to ask her about it. She keep asking me to drop it. So, I just drop it. But..."
"You were worried. You wanted to help her, right?" Nyx asked.
Spike sighed, "Yeah... I sure did try."
Spike yelped in surprise like something hurt his stomach. He gave loud belch in spitting greenish flames out. Cutie Mark Crusaders yelped in moving aside. A scroll appeared before them. They all gasped in surprise.
Spike took the message and headed towards Twilight. Cutie Mark Crusaders followed him as well.
"Twilight! I think I've got the message from Princess!" Spike called. Twilight and her friends turned to him. Before he could say anything, they gave 'are you sure it's one scroll?' Spike sighed in annoyance, "Don't worry. I make sure there's no surprises like before. It's just one."
Twilight and her friends sighed in relief while nodded their heads in understanding. Twilight gave Spike a nod.
Spike cleared his throat as he read the message,
"To My faithful student, Twilight Sparkle,
You are hereby invited to celebrate Annual Equestria Foundation Day at Canterlot with Megan and all of her family joining in for the celebration. If you wish to attend it, please send a response to me.
If you do accept the invitation, you may bring whoever you want. I will send some chariots for the pickup. I hope to see you soon. Your brother and sister-in-law will be attending as well.
Sincerely Princess Celestia..."
"The Annual Equestria Foundation Day!" Twilight Sparkle exclaimed happily. She squealed happily, and even her friends but Cutie Mark Crusaders. She explained, "I've always wanted to attend that very important day when I was a little filly! Oh! I can't wait to go!"
Sweetie Belle looked confuse as she asked, "Uh... Twilight, what exactly is Equestria Foundation Day?"
Scootaloo nodded, "Yeah... We've got no clue about it."
Nyx and Apple Bloom nodded in agreement about what Scootaloo and Sweetie Bell had asked.
Twilight smiled, "I'm glad you asked, my little ponies. The Annual Equestria Foundation Day is the special day for not only celebration of William Siblings' Triumph against the Forces of Evil but also great unification of all states and countries including all intelligent beings like Dragons, Griffons, Buffallos and more. And of course, this is the reminder to all that friendship always prevail since the Hearth's Warming Eve."
Cutie Mark Crusaders awed in amazement and happy of what they just heard. It was indeed special and important event to attend.
Applejack smiled, "Don't suppose that you would bring me along?"
"We want to go to the founding with you, Twilight!" Pinkie exclaimed excitedly.
Rarity pleaded, "Oh, please take us with you, Twilight!"
Rainbow Dash smirked, "Yeah! I bet Wonderbolts will be there as well! I'm gonna show them of what I'm made of! They're so gonna let me in! They've got to!"
"Please, Twilight," Fluttershy asked gently.
Twilight smiled, "I wouldn't dream of leaving you girls out."
Nyx nudged Twilight as the unicorn turned and looked at the black Alicorn, "Can my friends and I go too? Please?"
Nyx and her friends gave the widened yet innocent little 'puppy dog' eyes look. Mane Six and Spike sighed happily. The kids sure loved to do that when they wanted something so badly.
Twilight giggled, "Of course, you can. Right, everyone?"
Mane Five and Spike nodded in agreement, causing Cutie Mark Crusaders cheered wildly and happily. They're going for Annual Equestria's Foundation Day! They're going for it!
Twilight sighed, "Let's just hope there's no troubles at Canterlot again."
Applejack approached and patted Twilight gently, "Don't you fret, partner. We'll be there and stand besides with you till the end. We're not leaving you behind again. We promised, Twi. Right, everypony?"
Mane Four, Cutie Mark Crusaders and Spike cheered, "YEAH!"
Nyx giggled, "To be honest, I actually want to beat that fake Cadance when she mistreated all of my friends."
Spike chuckled, "Easy, Nyx. That's past now. No need to get so dramatic."
Twilight nodded in agreement, "Send the reply, Spike. We're all coming."
Spike smiled as he wrote the scroll with his quill for short while. He then rolled the scroll up. He blew a greenish flame on it. It magically flow to the sky...
Pinkie squealed and screamed happily, "Oh boy! Oh boy! oh boy! Oh boy! A huge party in Canterlot! I can't wait to get in there and start making biggest party in whole wide of Equestria!"
"Hate to burst your bubbles, Pinkie," Rainbow Dash said, "I think Princess Celestia got it covered."
"Hey! I'm the one who gets decide of how party goes! How come you didn't tell me that you burst my bubbles?!"
"Burst your bubbles means ruining your hope, Pinkie. That was just expression! You are so random..."
But nevertheless, everyone laughed happily yet amusingly. They're gonna enjoy the Annual Day. It's going to be fun for them.
Unknown to the ponies, a strange dark creature watched the event for some reason. Who... Or what was it? Why was it stalking at the girls? No... Why was it stalking at Twilight Sparkle? Why?
"Twilight... Twi... light..."

Author's Notes:
I did say it's going to be different than the original JusSonic had make. As how Megan and her siblings fit in his universe, read 'The Elements of Harmony and the Savior of Worlds' byRK_Striker_JK_5. And of course, there will be differences.
