My Little Pony: The Power of Pure Love
Chapter 11
Neo's Note
When morning came in Ponyville, it was a dark morning since the sun had not been raised, Twilight woke up with a yawn, she saw Spike standing at the window looking outside. Twilight walked over to Spike and said, "Good morning Spike." Spike said, "Twilight, what's going on, it's morning but it's still dark outside, what's going on, has Nightmare Moon returned?" Twilight said, "No, of course not, but that is still very strange." But then she remembered that she has the princesses' alicorn magic inside of her so only she can raise the moon now and that's why it was dark outside. Twilight said to Spike, "Could you excuse me Spike, I'll be right back."
Twilight quickly galloped outside, Spike wondered why she was in such a hurry, Twilight went outside where she could have a good view of the moon, she concentrated really hard and tried to use her magic to lower the moon, but nothing happened. Twilight tried again but nothing happened, Twilight wondered why it wasn't working, her horn glowed but the moon never moved, Twilight was so confused, she just couldn't figure out why her magic wasn't working. Then Twilight's friends saw Twilight and they came over to see her. Rarity said, "Thank heavens you're here Twilight, something strange is happening, it's morning but it's dark." Fluttershy said, "Do you know what's going on?" Twilight was still trying to lower the moon, but nothing happened, Applejack saw what she was doing and said, "Uh Twilight, are you alright?" Twilight kept trying despite that her friends were there, but she could not lower the moon, Twilight breathed hard, she finally gave up trying, Rainbow Dash said, "Twilight, what's going on?"
Twilight knew that she wasn't going to be able to hide this from her friends, even though Princess Celestia told her to keep it a secret for their safety, so she decided that she was going to have to tell them. They could tell that Twilight knew something so they asked her to tell them what was happening, she finally told them that the princesses gave their alicorn magic to her to protect it from an evil creature known as Tirek, and because of this, Princess Celestia and Princess Luna could no longer raise the sun and moon, only Twilight could do it because she has their alicorn magic. Her friends were so surprised about what she just told them, she mentioned that Princess Celestia didn't want her to tell them what was happening because she feared for their safety, they also wanted to give their magic to her because Tirek doesn't know about the 4th princess, the only other person who knew about what was happening was Neo. The ponies didn't really know who Tirek was so she told them the history of Tirek that she got from Princess Celestia, and Twilight told them that Tirek was working with Hellraiser and Tirek will stop at nothing to get all of the magic in Equestria and if that happens, Hellraiser will raise hell over Equestria. The ponies were freaked out by the information, but they were glad that Twilight told them. Twilight said that she was just now trying to lower the moon and raise the sun, but her magic wasn't working. Then Applejack said, "Where's Neo?" Twilight said, "You know what, I haven't seen him since last night."
Twilight went back into the library and her friends went in with her, they saw that Neo wasn't in the library and they were wondering where he was, Spike was cleaning up the floor and doing chores like he usually does. Then Rarity saw a note on the front door, she said, "Twilight, there's a note on your door." Twilight went over to the door, she took the note, she looked at it and saw that it was a computer typed note, Applejack said, "What's it say Twilight?" Twilight read the note to her friends and saw that it was from Neo.
Twilight,
I don't know how to tell you this, but last night while you were sleeping, I absorbed all of the alicorn magic you had in you, including yours, but you still have your unicorn magic, so I have all of the alicorn magic inside me now, please don't be upset with me, I love you very much and I don't want anything to happen to you or your friends, you see, I know that sooner or later, Tirek is going to find out that you are the 4th princess of Equestria and he will come for you, and I'm afraid that he will kidnap your friends and force you to surrender the alicorn magic in exchange for their safety, and I can't let that happen. So I took the alicorn magic out of you to prevent that from happening and now I have run away, I have to get as far away from you and the girls as possible to keep you safe, if I stay close to you, I put you all in danger. Please don't worry, I do not plan to use the magic, I am only going to hold onto it and protect it from Tirek, I promise you that I will not let him have it, and he won't be able to take it from me unless I give it to him and I won't let him have it. By the time you read this, I will be out of Ponyville, I'm really sorry about leaving you, but I hope you will understand, please give the ponies and Spike a hug for me and tell them that I love them, and I love you very much, you're like a sister to me and I don't want anything to happen to you or my friends, I know that sooner or later I will have to face Tirek, and when I do, I must face him alone, please do not get involved, I want you and the ponies to be safe. You and the ponies are the best friends I have ever had, you girls are the most important things to me and I will always cherish our friendship, I love you and the girls very much and I hope to be back with you again very soon.
Neo.
Twilight and the ponies were in shock, they couldn't believe what they just read, Spike heard everything and he was in shock as well, Twilight said, "Oh no, Neo took the alicorn magic." Rarity said, "But how in Equestria did he do that?" Pinkie Pie said, "Yeah, how is that even possible?" Twilight said, "I don't know, but that would explain why I couldn't lower the moon and raise the sun, he's taken all the alicorn magic, and mine as well, all I have left in me is my unicorn magic." Twilight was a little upset about what Neo had done, but she understood, she knew he was just trying to protect her and her friends, and she thought that was very noble of him. But she was still worried about Neo being out there all alone, and knowing that he will have to face Tirek sooner or later, and she wanted to help him.
Twilight said to her friends, "Girls, we have to go look for Neo." The ponies gasped, Rarity said, "But he wants us to stay here." Twilight said, "No, we have to find him, we have to help him." Applejack said, "But how will we find him, he could be anywhere, and like his note said, he's probably long gone by now." Twilight said, "We'll search all of Equestria if we have to, but we must find him and help him, I know he's trying to protect us, but we're all friends, and friends have to stick together." Rainbow Dash said, "Twilight is right, what kind of friends would we be if we don't help him, let's go find him." Applejack said, "You do know that if we go and look for him, we're putting ourselves at risk of Tirek getting the alicorn magic." Twilight said, "I know, but Neo is our friend, and we must help him, we're all friends and we're in this together, so we must all face Tirek together, and our friendship is more powerful than all the magic in Equestria." The ponies were touched by her speech, Applejack said, "You know Twilight, you're right." Rainbow Dash said, "Well what are we waiting for, let's go find him."
Rainbow Dash flew out of the library like a bat out of hell and went to search for Neo, the other ponies ran out after her. Twilight told Spike to stay behind and take care of the library, the ponies galloped out of the library, Twilight shouted, "Rainbow Dash, wait for us!" And they began their search for Neo, and they will not rest until they find him.
Meanwhile, somewhere in Equestria, Tirek was absorbing more magic from pegasus and earth ponies, now he was stronger and more muscular, he was now ready to hunt down the alicorn princesses and absorb their magic. Tirek began galloping towards Canterlot and nothing was going to stop him from getting what he wants.
