Twilight started on her way to the room where their precious elements were held. She checked with the guards, and walked into the small room. Her job was arguably the easiest, but it suited her the most. Luna magically checked over Twilight, carefully making sure it was her. She stepped aside, leaving the elements exposed.
Twilight clopped down the castle's narrow halls. They seemed to be looming closer, sealing her fate. Sealing Rainbow's. Just in the middle of her thought, Twilight sensed a powerful magic tingling around her. One that she could only recognize as...
"Trixie? What are you doing here? Come to stop my plan, huh? You must be working wi-" Trixie hushed Twilight's mouth with her hoof. On her back was Spike, who was gripping a map of the city in his claws. He looked sympathetically at Twilight, knowing the decision she had made.
"If you want to get to where you're friends are, you are going to need a little help. I admit your magic far surpasses me, but that won't stop me from trying to help you," Trixie had finally gotten the words off her back, after years of agony. The weight lifted, she felt her magical abilities increase. They set off.
The city seemed darker then usual, everything being dreary and bland. This was the last place Twilight wanted to be right now, with the last pony she wanted to see. But she trudged on. Knowing the structures that stood before her payed her no mind, and Trixie was more then happy to help. Occasionaly one of the unicorns would stumble, and then help each other to her hooves. But no talking ensued. For this, Twilight was thankful. They trudged on, searching for their friends. Twilight's mind was set on getting to them and nothing else. Until she heard a boom. Her ears popped as her flank lit up with a magnificent glow. The skies filled with color, and for a moment she thought she was dreaming. Until she looked at her flank and realized there were still five little stars. No, she was just looking in the wrong place. There was four, but that could only mean...?
No..
