Chapter 9: The Fulfillment (Part 1)

"But how do you know the diary was referring to them?" asked Pinkie Pie.

"Don't you get it?" said Twilight "The sun is Princess Celestia. The moon is Princess Luna. And the star of crystal is Princess Cadence. It's all about them."

"So what we should do?" asked Applejack.

"No time to lose" rushed Twilight "We need to get this message to Princess Celestia before…"

"SHE'S GONE!?" shouted Rarity and Applejack.

"Well, yes" said Shining Armor "she said she was with Luna and Cadence to fight with this Flamina. And I asked to guard the palace while they're gone."

Twilight ran to the outside of the palace. "Twilight, where are you going?" said Applejack. "We need to hurry" rushed Twilight "We need to catch up with the three princesses or else, who knows?"

So the team went out and searched for the princesses. "Where do you think they could be?" said Rarity. "Maybe they're at the flaming part of the Everfree Forest" said Pinkie Pie, pointing to the part of the Everfree Forest which is on fire.

The whole group ran to the forest, to see Flamina and Princess Celestia alone fighting.

"PRINCESS CELESTIA!" shouted Twilight.

Flamina noticed Twilight, and suddenly enclosed the whole team on a prison of fire.

"You ponies need to understand privacy!" shouted Flamina.

"It's alright" said Celestia, facing the ponies, "this battle is between her and me."

Then begins the greatest battle of the whole Equestria: Flamina vs Princess Celestia. At first it was Flamina under Princess Celestia's hooves. But then, as the battle raged on, Flamina seems to get the upper hoof. Suddenly, the battle is over. Princess Celestia won.

"PRINCESS! LOOK OUT!" shouted Applejack.

"Ha!" shouted Flamina, as she caught Celestia in her ring of fire. "Do you think it's easy being trapped inside a cave for 500 000 years? Do you think you could live inside a deep, dark, horrifying trap alone in the darkness? Well not anymore, because it's YOUR turn to enjoy the fun!" and with a twist of the ring of fire, Celestia was banished into thin air. Suddenly, the whole Equestria darkened as if it was night, and Twilight remembered the words:

"The sun turned to black…"

Instantly, the whole group was teleported to a cliff, but still trapped inside a flaming prison. This time, it was Flamina and Princess Luna fighting.

"What have you done to Celestia!?" raged Luna.

"Oh, nothing" said Flamina "I just took her to my home, that's all."

"You bring her back now!" shouted Luna.

"Why should I? After all these years of pain and loneliness, why should I set her free?"

Princess Luna (now Nightmare Moon) galloped towards Flamina. She pushed her aside, then Flamina raged "This battle ends now!" and suddenly, "Oops, sorry about that Luna. I was too clumsy to push you aside."

"PRINCESS LUNA!" shouted Twilight. Then, she looked from above, saw the moon turned to red, and said "The moon covered with blood."

Tears fell from the eyes of the trapped ponies. "Aww, don't look bad" said Flamina, "Besides, I still have one more."

Twilight gave Flamina one angry stare and said "If you ever do something with Cadence, I'LL RIP YOU TO PIECES!"

"And how?" said Flamina "Remember? 'Now lost is my loyalty'?"

"She knows the diary" whispered Twilight

"Why, of course I do!" said Flamina "I was there when he wrote his diary. I don't even know how you got it back. After all, I burned that book. Oh well, don't wanna waste time here. I still have one more." And at the same time, she and the ponies was teleported to the highest part of the Crystal Castle.

"Twilight! What happened?" said Cadence.

"Can't you see that we're trapped" said Applejack

"By who?" questioned Cadnence.

"By the new princess of Equestria!" laughed Flamina.

"YOU AGAIN!" said Cadence "Free my friends at once!"

"And if I don't?" said Flamina

"If you don't, I dare you to a battle."

Then, Flamina stomped her hoof, and Cadence was transported to the very edge of the castle. She gripped Cadence and said "Ok then, a battle it is, and I won!" and with a push, Cadence fell to the ground.

Suddenly, the stars seem to fall from the sky, like shooting stars. "Stars of crystal falling out of the sky…" whispered Applejack.

"And to complete the party, let me say 'Yet one of them endured and escaped to the mud'" said Flamina, and suddenly, they were taken to a big muddy pit, now free. They all went out from that pit, and gave one good stare at each other.
