My Little Pony: The Power of Pure Love
Chapter 7
Alicorn Magic
Neo and Twilight were on their way to Canterlot Castle, Twilight had just received a letter from Princess Celestia asking her and Neo to come to the castle, but it was just Twilight and Neo, the other ponies and Spike went back to Ponyville. Twilight was hoping that the princesses had come up with a plan to stop Tirek and Hellraiser, when they got to the castle, the royal guards let them into Princess Celestia's throne room. Princess Celestia, Princess Luna and Princess Cadence were in the throne room, Twilight and Neo walked into the room, the princesses had worried looks on their faces, Twilight and Neo thought something bad might have happened.
Twilight approached the princesses and said, "I came as quickly as I could! Is something wrong? Is it Tirek?" Princess Celestia said, "Yes Twilight, Tirek has stolen enough magic that he now has the strength to steal flight as well. Without Pegasi to control the weather, there will be no rain in Equestria. There is word he has gone after Earth ponies as well. Without their strength, they will not be able to tend the land." Princess Luna said, "Ponies will no longer be in control of their world. That power will belong solely to Tirek." Neo was listening to the princesses very carefully, Princess Celestia said, "There is no doubt that Tirek is after Alicorn magic. With Hellraiser at his side, we will not be able to stop him from taking it." Princess Luna said, "Once it is in his possession, his power will know no bounds, and all hope will be lost." Princess Celestia said, "But there is one solution. It is only by making this sacrifice that Equestria and the lands beyond it might be saved. We must rid ourselves of our magic before Tirek has the chance to steal it from us."
Twilight and Neo gasped at what the princesses just said, Neo was really worried, Princess Luna said, "Tirek is set on possessing Alicorn magic. When he comes for us, we cannot have what he is looking for." Twilight said, "I'm more than willing to do my part and give up my magic." Princess Luna said, "You misunderstand. Our magic cannot just disappear into thin air. Somepony must keep it safe." Princess Cadence said, "That somepony is you, Twilight." Neo was surprised at what they just said, Twilight said, "Why me?" Princess Celestia said, "We do not believe that Tirek is aware that a fourth Alicorn princess exists in Equestria. If we transfer our magic to you, Tirek will not know where it has gone." Princess Cadence said, "Do you understand what we're asking of you?" Twilight said, "Yes. It's just... I'm only now learning how to control my own alicorn magic. To take on even more–" Princess Cadence cut her off and said, "Twilight, you represent the element of magic. If there is anypony who can do this, it's you." Twilight said, "Taking on this task will be one of the most difficult things I'll ever do, but with the help of my friends–" Princess Celestia cut her off and said, " I'm sorry, Princess Twilight, but you must keep your new abilities a secret. I fear that your friends being aware of your new power could put them at great risk. Only Neo may know of these abilities. Do you still think you can take on this responsibility?" Twilight was disappointed, but she knew she had to do this for the sake of all of Equestria, so she said, "This is the role I am meant to play as a princess of Equestria! I will not fail to do my duty!" Neo couldn't believe what he was hearing, but he knew Twilight had to do this, Princess Celestia said, "Then we must begin at once."
Princess Celestia, Princess Luna and Princess Cadence gathered around Twilight, the princesses' horns glowed for a second, then their eyes glowed and they shot a gigantic ball of magic in the air right above Twilight. Neo watched what was happening and he was very fascinated by it, then the ball of magic went down towards Twilight and the magic went into Twilight and her body began absorbing it. Meanwhile over in another city in Equestria, Tirek was stealing more magic Earth ponies, Hellraiser thought he felt an imbalance, but thought it was nothing. Back at the castle, the princesses were laying on the ground, they were very weak now, Twilight was floating and her eyes and body were glowing, when her body fully absorbed the magic, she came back down and her body and eyes stopped glowing, she now had all of the alicorn magic inside of her.
Twilight felt so worried, she ran up to Princess Celestia and hugged her, as she hugged her, she noticed that Princess Celestia's cutie mark was gone, Luna and Cadence's cutie marks were gone as well. Then Princess Celestia said in a weak voice, "It is done." Twilight saw Neo standing in the corner, she quickly ran over to him and she gave him a hug, she felt like crying, but Neo said, "Don't cry Twilight, you did what you had to do." Princess Luna walked over to them and since she was so weak, she couldn't walk right, Neo went over to her and gave her a hug, she hugged him and said, "I know you and Twilight will save Equestria, we believe in you." Neo felt so bad for Princess Luna, having to give up her alicorn magic, Neo said, "I love you my beautiful princess, and I always will." Princess Luna said in a weak voice, "I love you too my love, you will always be in my heart."
Then Neo and Twilight had to go back to Ponyville and Neo was going to have to protect Twilight now along with her friends, Princess Celestia said to them in a weak voice, "Good luck to both of you." Princess Cadence said in a weak voice, "The fate of Equestria is in your hooves, and hands." Then Neo and Twilight walked out of the throne room and they decided to fly back to Ponyville. Neo flew like Superman and Twilight flew back to Ponyville alongside him, as they flew, Neo said, "Man, I need a cigarette."
