Chapter two: talks and revelations'!

Luna spent an hour and managed to find shining armor.

"Shining please find cadence and meet me at the throne room something has happened" said Luna.

"Right I hope whatever this crisis is must have really does not involve twilight ever since the crystal empire i feel like she has grown into a great mare we will be there" said the brother of twilight.

It took an hour but Luna managed to find celestia with the filly known as bay flower. Luna was shocked at the lesson bay was being taught.

"Celesta please head to the throne room something has happened. It involves the elements" said Luna.

"Right sister that will be all bay flower" said celestia.

As the sisters of the sun and moon headed to the room Luna was raging in thought.

'Sis you idiot why were you teaching a filly when you haven't even taught twilight combat magic to defend herself'.

Luna entered the throne room and found cadence and shining armor there. It was then Luna surprised the trio with a glare at her sister.

"What were you thinking celestia teaching a filly when twilight's magic lessons haven't even finished!" shouted Luna.

"What!"Were the shouts of the recently married couple?

Celestia looked confused.

"Tell me sister have you ever taught twilight combat magic to defend her and her friends" asked Luna.

"I honestly can't remember it was two years since she went to ponyville" said celestia.

"well twilight is missing the others sent me a letter that twilight hasn't been seen since yesterday morning and that she was concerned with you not replying to the friendship reports for two whole months!" said Luna.

"What happened and why does this involve the elements of harmony" asked cadence.

"around the time twilight disappeared the elements gave me images of castle eclipse and what twilight was feeling at the time she felt rage, sadness, betrayal, and finally depression, it is possible that twilight found out the reason celestia has not replied to the reports and went to castle eclipse to have some time alone I think she might had her magic react to the emotional cyclone and might have transformed into a similar being as nightmare moon. At least I hope it's a unicorn version" said Luna.

"Ah, the emotion dive theory if a pony feels a strong emotion it drives them to better skills like getting faster for example rainbow dashes goal is to join the wonder bolts and wants to be a better flier hence her speed training and creation of her signature the sonic rainboom. In some cases it puts power and grace to spells to make them more efficient' said shining thoughtfully.

"Yes I felt jealous and resentful at celestia for ponies wanting to spent time in the day and sleep in the night but I also felt frustration at that situation and my magic reacted in the shape of nightmare moon. I still hate darkness void for putting those doubts in my head" said Luna.

Cadence felt panic as she thought on her sister in law. "What else did the elements show you Aunt Luna" asked cadence.

"An image of an eclipse and shadows" said Luna.

"If I remember right twilight was born during an eclipse and her first sight was the twilight sky at the time" said shining.

"I know while I was in the moon I kept watch over equestria and was interested when twilight animated her own shadow into a plushy of a dragon or chimera it was hard to tell from the distance" said Luna.

"it was a dragon" said shining.

"I feel as if twilight might recreate that ability to animate shadows for something no clue what she might do then" said celestia.

"oh, I almost forgot spike mention that twilight see's you as a second mother I know you took her under your wing at age eight and raised her there and twilight's trust in you might have been destroyed I'm heading to ponyville to let the others know where she is I hope she hasn't done anything stupid in her state" said Luna

-ponyville-

the mane five and spike plus zecora were in the library. Zecora had volunteered to watch the library while they find twilight. It had been a day since the letter was sent. Spike suddenly shot out a blast of dragon fire. A letter was left in the air.

-dear ponies and spike I wish it was with good news that I send this but twilight is in the ever-free forest in castle eclipse aka where nightmare moon was defeated meet me at the entrance to the forest and I will explain everything there shining and cadence will be with me hurry for I think twilight may not have mush time before it is to late I fear twilight has become a second nightmare moon. Also I feel as if the very shadows are converging please I fear that twilight's hidden skill is at work. Signed- princess Luna Del sol -

"well you heard or read as the case maybe but we got to hurry if sugar cube is in trouble then we aren't good friends. So lets scedatle" said applejack.

''as much as I don't like it I agree twilight is our friend we have got to be there for her'' said rarity.

And so the six left and arrived at the forest. Luna, shining armor and cadence stood there waiting.

'' hello Luna, cadence and shining what happened'' asked rainbow.

''let's say celestia made a mistake and twilight's emotions went overboard you saw her when she get's mad well she was mad, felt sorrow, depression, and finally betrayal it made her magic react into a second nightmare moon, she just proved the emotion drive theory and now I fear she may rise an army to get back at celestia I think you should hear about her secret skill from her brother'' said Luna.

Shining went up. '' she has the ability to manipulate shadows into physical matter we called it shadowshift thanks to this she can create anything out of shadows like replicas of any thing she saw including living beings as she got older she forgot she had the power now I think she rediscovered it to create her army she made a dragon plushy when she was two and when she first used it I think that over the years she developed a second personality that kept the power in check the twilight you got to know was her light halve the one that only used light energy and her other halve uses dark energy she uses these since birth because she was born during a eclipse according to Luna twilight's personalities are both suppressed leaving the bitter emotion's in control of her actions but I am still wondering why she hasn't been using magic more easily after the nightmare moon incident witch means twilight's shadow might have absorbed some magical residue interfering in her concentration I am worried about my sister'' said shining.

''oh shining don't worry I'm alright I just felt like I needed time to think'' said a voice that was familiar.

''twilight that you'' asked rainbow looking towards the forest.

At the entrance was regular twilight.

''yeah sorry I made you all worry'' said twilight.

Spike felt uneasy around twilight. He felt something was different. He noticed the hair style on twilight.

''uh twilight decide to imitate rainbow's hair style?'' asked spike.

Cadence was on her guard for twilight never changes hair styles at all.

''seems the jig is up oh well'' said eclipse revealing her new look as wings engulfed her.

Warning bells rang in the group.

''oh no I thought you would just become a unicorn version of nightmare moon not an alicorn!'' said Luna.

''well I have been known to surprise people like discord remember it was the residue of the battle against nightmare moon that gave me this form and I think you should know but I have all of twilight and dawn's memories in ten months my army of shades will arrive to remind celestia that her mistake has a price tell that princess that the eclipse is coming for revenge for now here this dark halve is starting to give me a headache'' said eclipse as a black version of regular twilight was launched out of eclipse's shadow into the group and knocking them over and out cold.

''fare well for in ten months time canterlot will fall then I will get rid of those changelings to get rid of some competition good bye and good riddance'' said eclipse vanishing in shadows as the forest sealed itself off.

Equestria is in danger can the group save twilight and just who is dawn and the inverted colored twilight and who is puling the string for now the wheels of fate are turning and a looming shadow approaches find out the answers in chapter three: looming shadow part one.

Well there you go chapter two is complete and now things get interesting the idea for eclipse's origin was based on Luna's fall into nightmare moon, Luna in cannon felt resentment towards her sister and jealous that ponies wanted to spend more time in the day then night and used her magic fueled by these emotions to become nightmare moon and they just said an outside force caused this to happen and I decided to call the force darkness void since not mush is known about the guy and thus the creation of eclipse in my storyline Luna felt doubt because of void using twisted logic to put doubt into Luna, and now you all know how this came to be besides being inspired off of 'don't let the sun catch you crying' now ill post chapter three up when I write it and also if you want some thing added to the story then let me know ill put in a poll on what arcs are after looming shadow here are the choices arc one : dragon's awakening here spike goes on an journey to try to find him self when he feels like he couldn't help anyone at all in the major crisis. Arc two: shape shifters lament here a changeling goes to warn crysalias of the threat and trys to convince her to form a truce to take out the shades. And finally arc 3: here darkness void sets in motion the plan to revive him using his servant eclipse to gather the elements to drain them of their magic to bring him back to life and to create generals in the shade ranks.
