...Here it is.
"WOOOOOOHOOOOO!" Pinkie by cheered as she and the rest of her friends walked through the hallways of CHS still wearing their wondercolt gear. And it was the same for the rest of the students as they were walking through the halls wearing ear headbands and tails.
Do to Twilight, they were able to do something they haven't been able to do in years. Be together. Be friends. No matter if they were a rocker, a nerd, a jock, or a fashionista, it didn't matter. Everyone could just come together and be friends.
"Isn't everyone just fabulous?" Rarity said as they watched all the students walking past them with the Wondercolt gear.
"It was a great idea Rarity." Twilight complimented as she put a hand on the white skinned girls arm.
"That's my sugarcube for ya." Applejack said as she wrapped an arm around Rarity and pulled her close with Rarity cheeks turning red in response. "Beauty and brains."
"Darling, stop~" Rarity said with a small smile while rewarding her girlfriend with a kiss on the cheek.
"Yeah, honestly that felt great, Super fun to." Lincoln commented as he was bobbing his head, the song they just sang paying in his head. "And I'm not one for suddenly breaking out in song...well expect that time during space Mardi Gras."
Fluttershy gave a small giggle in response as she suddenly looked behind her and saw Wallflower following behind him. Her expression was unreadable due to her hair overshadowing her face. "Uh, Wallflower Blush, are you ok?" Fluttershy asked in a concerned tone as everyone stopped to look at Wallflower themselves.
"That...was...AMAZING! Wallflower suddenly cheered as a big toothy smile came onto her face as her eyes sparkled more than a clear night sky. "DID YOU SEE US BACK THERE! WE WERE AMAZING! EVERYONE WAS ACTUALLY LOOKING AT US AND HEARING US AND WE MANAGED TO BRING THEM ALL TOGETHER! IT WAS GREAT!"
"Bet it feels great to be heard huh?" Rainbow Dash asked with a smirk and crossed arms.
"Yeah! It really does!" Wallflower said as she can't remember feeling this good for a long, long time. "People actually saw me! People actually listened to me. I...I don't want this to end."
"Well it doesn't have to!" Pinkie said as she suddenly popped up next to Wallflower and pulled her into a hug yet again. "Your if us now! And we're gonna gave the bestest time together as the bestest friends!"
Similar with all the other times Pinkie hugged her, Wallflower's cheeks turned pink. And this time, she gave a soft smile as she wrapped her hands around Pinkie and finally returned one of her hugs. "Thank you."
Everyone simply watched the cute with a smile as Pinkie started pressing her cheek against Wallflowers as Lincoln turned to everyone and asked. "So what now?"
"Now? The most important part darling." Rarity told everyone in a very serious tone that took everyone aback with the way the fashionista spoke. And then, Rarity revealed what the next part was. "WE GOTTA DECIDE WHAT TO WHERE!"
Everyone deadpanned as Rarity squealed like fangirl with a giddy smile. Leave it to Rarity to treat clothes and fashion like it was one of the most important things in the world that should be treated with the utmost seriousness. "Let's meet at the boutique after school! Oooooo I can already picture what you'll all be wearing! I'm so excited!"
It was then that everyone couldn't help but chuckle as they started walking forward again. "Well I guess I can't help but be a little nervous." Twilight admitted with a small smile and pink cheeks. "Even after everything, I just hope I'm able to win back the cro-" But was Twilight was talking suddenly she bumped into someone causing her to fall to her butt.
"Woah! You know, we really need to stop running into each other like this." A familiar male voice said that made Twilight freeze as pink cheeks go darker. She looked up saw the blue haired boy she'd come to know as Flash Sentry looking at her with a smile and offering his hand to her.
"Hehe, sorry about that...again." Twilight said as this wasn't her first time bumping into Flash. She took the hand with dark pink cheeks as Flash helped her up.
"It's cool." Flash reassured her before he put his hands in pockets and looked around at all the students wearing the Wondercolt gear and said. "You know, that was pretty amazing how you were able to bring everyone together like this."
Twilight's cheeks went from dark pink to full on red as she averted her gaze and said modestly. "I-I-It's n-nothing r-really." Twilight started with an extremely sheepish smile. "I-I just wanted to undo the damage Sunset Shimmer did and bring everyone together in friendship."
"Well you did a great job. It's been awhile since I've seen everyone together like this for a long time." Flash said as he looked at all the students in the hallway again. "Your gonna win Fall Formal Princess for sure."
"Hehehe, t-thanks y-you." Twilight muttered quietly as she twirled her hair with her finger.
They were both silent for a moment with blushes on their faces as Flash spoke again. "S-So hey, I know we haven't known each other long, but I was wondering...do you wanna go with me to the dance tonight?"
Twilight's entire face went red as her eyes widened. "Wh-what?" She gasped out in surprise.
"I-I know it's sudden, but I think you're really cool, pretty, and just nice." Flash told her as Twilight's red face started to glow a bit as Flash Sentry complimented her. "So, what do you say?"
Twilight thought about it for a moment before she looked to Flash with a bright smile and said. "Yes. I'd love to go to the dance with you."
"Alright!" Flash cheered while raising a fist. However, he quickly realized what he did as his cheeks turned pink in embarrassment as he quickly tried to get back his cool demeanor and said in a more laid back tone. "Uh, I mean, awesome."
Twilight giggled at his expense and said. "So, I'll meet you here tonight?"
"It's a date." Flash said with a wink as he started walking away. Twilight waved to him with a giddy smile and red cheeks as he walked away.
Once he was out of sight, she turned to her friend looking at her with unsure looks. "You're playing with fire darling." Rarity warned her as she mentioned to Twilight the other day that Flash Sentry used to date Sunset Shimmer herself until a few weeks ago.
Twilight's face fell a bit as she said. "Y-Yeah. I know." She muttered quietly.
Everyone stared a here silently until their faces then changed to give Twilight small smiles. "But I'll admit, you two are rather adorable together." Rarity admitted as Twilight looked up at them.
"Huh?" Twilight asked as she tilted her head a bit.
"Well you're already tryin to take her crown." Applejack added, referring to Sunset Shimmer. "If it makes ya happy, I saw go for it."
"We'll be with you all the way." Fluttershy added in quietly.
Twilight couldn't help but give a warm smile to them all. They really did remind her of her Ponyville in more than just appearance. And yet they still had their differences that made them truly unique. "Thanks girls. For everything."
Everyone gave Twilight their own warm smile and nods to the purple skinned girl. Rarity then broke the silence as she said. "Now come on darlings, I got some dresses to design for you all!"
It was then that Wallflower spoke up and said. "Y-You know, I've never really wore any sort of formal clothes before." She revealed to everyone. "It's gonna be a bit out of my comfort zone to wear one."
"Don't worry darling." Rarity reassured the green skin girl with a wave. "I'll make sure to make you something that just screams you."
"Thanks." Wallflower said as she twirled her hair around her finger as a small blush came to her cheeks.
They all then started walking again and talking about how to prepare more for the dance tonight. However, Pinkie and Lincoln stood next to each other and had blank faces ever since Flash started talking to Twilight. The two then slowly looked to each other with Lincoln saying. "So, what do you think of those two?" The Loud boy asked, referring to Flash Sentry and Twilight.
"On the shipping scale?" Pinkie Pie replied as she hummed in thought." On a scale of 1 to 10...I'd give it a 3."
"Well you're more generous than me." Lincoln said as they face forward. "I'd give it a 2." The two then started walking after everyone.
As they were walking, a man in a janitor's uniform walked past them while holding some keys in his hand. He wore a dull monotone look on his face as he went to a door labeled 'Janitor's Closet' and used one of the keys in his hand to unlock it.
Once he opened it, he looked inside to see that Snips and Snail's were still tied up with duct tape over their mouths. The janitor's face never change as he looked at them with them looking back at him. The janitor then asked, "Was it the Kindergarden girls again?"
Later into the day, the group was now as the Cantorlot Botique, where Rarity worked, and were currently trying on various boots and clothing items for the dance tonight. As Lincoln was trying on a light blue tux, similar to the one he wore back in his world, a thought crossed his mind. Tonight was the night they would have to return.
He thought about this a bit and what it meant before he turned to Twilight as she was trying on some earrings Rarity showed her. "Hey Twilight, can we talk for a sec? In private."
Twilight rose her brow at the sudden request but simply nodded her head and said, "Sure." Lincoln gestured his head to one of the changing booths covered by a curtain. Twilight caught onto what Lincoln meant as she, with Spike walking behind her, walk into the booth with Lincoln. "So what's up?"
"Well, I've been thinking…" Lincoln said slowly before revealing. "Since this is our last day here since we have to go back tonight...I think we should tell them the full story. About the crown. Equestria. Everything."
"What?!" Twilight gasped with surprise at Lincoln request. "W-We can't!"
"Why not?" Spike asked while looking up at her with Lincoln asking the same thing silently.
"It's just…" Twilight struggled to say. "What will happen if these girls find out just how different I am?"
"They won't think any differently of you." Lincoln told her firmly. "Twilight, we've already told them about the Ultimatrix. And like I said, we're leaving tonight. If we're going to leave...we should at least tell them the truth."
Twilight look down in deep thought. He was right. Tonight would be the night the portal would be closing. And for the next 30 moons. Two and a half years. And these girls have done so much to help them..they deserve to know why they were there, what the stakes were...and why they would have to leave. "Ok...you're right. We need to tell them."
"Good on you Twilight." Spike told the purple skinned girl with a smile while wagging his tail.
"Come on." Lincoln said with a smile as he gestured his head towards the curtain that was blocking them off from the main room of the store. "Better to do it now."
Twilight took a deep breath and nodded in response. They then opened up the curtain and saw everyone was still trying on stuff. "Hey everyone." Lincoln said, getting all of their attention. "Twilight has something she needs to tell you all."
"What is it sugarcube?" Applejack asked as all the girls turned to the purple skinned girl.
Twilight took another deep breath as she prepared to tell her human friends everything. "You see-"
But as she talked suddenly Pinkie Pie interrupted her and said. "You're from an alternate world and you're a pony princess there and the crown actually has a magical element embedded in it that helps power up other magical elements and without it they don't work anymore and you need them to help protect your magical world and if you don't get the crown tonight you'll be stuck in this world and you won't be able to get back for like a really, really long time!" Pinkie finished by giving a giant toothy smile.
Twilight and Spike's jaw dropped as much as they possibly could while Lincoln's jaws widened like dinner plates as he muttered. "Well...damn…"
Rainbow Dash rolled her eyes at Pinkie's obviously ridiculous story and said. "Yeah. I'm pretty sure that isn't the reason."
"No. She's pretty much spot on." Spike said in front of everyone making their eyes widened as they looked at Spike completely stunned.
"He can talk?!" Rarity shouted in shock.
"Oh yeah," Spike said as he walked up towards everyone. "And back where I come from, I'm not even a dog. I'm a ferocious fire-breathing dragon!"
"Keep telling yourself that fax machine." Lincoln said with a snarky tone and smirk as Spike glared at him.
Just then Fluttershy looked to Spike with sparkling eyes as she surprisingly pushed everyone away and got on her hands and knees to Sikes level and looked to the dragon turned dog with a big smile. "This. Is. Amazing! Tell me, what are you thinking right now?" Fluttershy asked excitedly.
Spike looked to Fluttershy with a confused look as she eagerly awaited his answer. Just then Spike turned to a still surprised Rarity and walked up to her and said. "Sure would love a scratch being the old ears."
"Gah…" Rarity let out, still in shock over everything happened as Spike flinched at her reaction.
"Maybe later." Spike said with a lowered head.
Twilight then looked to Pinkie with a confused look and asked. "How did you know all that?"
"Just a hunch!" Pinkie said with a shrug.
"Of course." Lincoln deadpanned.
"Hold on a minute!" Applejack interrupted and as she wanted to get some things absolutely clear. "You're a pony?"
"You're a princess?" Rarity asked, still a bit in shock.
"You're from another world?" Fluttershy asked as she got up.
Twilight could only blush with a nervous smile and nodded her head.
"That...is...AWESOME! Rainbow Dash cheered as suddenly the human version of her Ponyville friends swarmed her questions.
Lincoln simply smiled at how well it went, and looked forward to see Wallflower staring at everyone, still in shock a bit. "You ok?" Lincoln asked as he walked up to the green skinned girl.
Wallflower snapped out of it with the shack of her head as she stared at Lincoln with a completely confused look. "So...wait...if she's a pony...are you a pony to?"
Lincoln chuckled as he shook his head. "No, just here. I'm human...most of the time anyway. It's a bit of a long story but I kinda ended up in Twilight worlds due to magic stuff. I'm from a human world, just not this one." Lincoln summarized while trying not to make it sound over complicated.
"...I'm just gonna have to take your word for it." Wallflower said as this was just to confusing for her to keep up with.
"Probably a good idea." Lincoln said as he never liked trying to make sense of, let alone explain, all this multiverse stuff. He had a hard time enough with it when Professor Paradox talked about it.
Wallflower chuckled a bit...but stopped when she realized something. "Wait...you're leaving tomorrow." Wallflower asked silently with a sadden tone.
Lincoln winced a bit. He was afraid of this, but it was unavoidable. "Yeah."
"But...But…" Wallflower said as she started trembling. "But...we just became friends."
"I know…" Lincoln said with a sadden tone.
They were silent for a minute, not even listening to Twilight conversation with the other girls. After a few moments, Wallflower finally spoke. "Promise me…"
"Huh?" Lincoln asked when Wallflower said that.
"Promise me…" Wallflower repeated again as she too a deep breathe. "Promise me when you get back...you'll find a way to come back sooner. So we can get to know each other better. Please. I don't wanna lose my first friend in so long already."
Lincoln looked to Wallflower for a moment, before he gave her the same thumbs up he's given her since they met and a small smile. "I promise."
"Thank you." She said as the green skinned girl hugged the Loud boy, which Lincoln quickly returned. After 5 seconds, they separated as Wallflower took a step back and shook her head to snap out of her funk. Once that was done, she decided to change the subject. "So...how did it go with Sunset yesterday."
At hearing the mention of the yellow skinned girl, Lincoln's face turned serious as he said. "She definitely has some issue's she hiding. I wouldn't be surprised if those are what caused her to do all the things she did."
Before Wallflower could say anything, Lincoln went over to where he hung his hoodie and took the diary he got from Sunset's out of the pocket and tossed it to Sunset. "This should give you some light on what's going on. It doesn't tell the full story, but it tells a lot about her."
Wallflower looked at the diary with hesitation. It felt wrong looking into someone else's diary, even if it was Sunset's. But, if this would show her some possibility with the girl, she opened it up and began reading.
She skimmed through the pages fast enough so that she could read, but not so fast that she'd risk missing anything important. It took her about 10 minutes, and when she was done, she closed it and a surprised and sympathetic look was on her face. "Wow...thats...thats pretty deep."
"Yeah," Lincoln said as he leaned against the wall and crossed his arms. "From what I can gather, she seems to have some serious abandonment issues and blames Twilight for the reason everyone left her."
"But why?" Wallflower asked as she was know wanting to know the full story behind Sunset and even wanting to help the girl now.
"I still don't know." Lincoln said as he lowered his head. "Their are bits and pieces to what happened but I don't know exactly what happened. Sunset's definitely gonna be at the formal tonight, so this is gonna be my last chance to try and help her."
Just then the Loud boy felt a hand on his shoulder and looked to see Wallflower putting her hand and his shoulder and giving him a determined smile. "I'm with ya!"
Lincoln gave Wallflower a thankful smile and nod when suddenly Rarity voice yelled out from the other room. "Wallflower darling! Could you come over here real quick! I want your opinion on the dress I'm making for you."
Wallflower's cheeks turned pink in embarrassment a bit as she remembered that she would be wearing a dress tonight. "C-Coming!" The green skinned girl yelled as she walked off.
Once she was gone, Lincoln looked out the window and saw that the Sun was slowly started to set…
Tonight's the night.
And sure enough, that night, a limo was pulling into the CHS parking lot. The door opened as none other the Twilight and all her friends came out of it wearing their outfits for the Fall Formal.
Pinkie's outfit consisted of a blue, purple, and light violet dress with a yellow ribbon with the middle of her dress having her pony version's Cutie Mark on it. She also had a small blue top hat with a yellow ribbon around it and purple, yellow, and pink boots with pink ribbons on the top.
Rarity had a sparkly blue dress with white boots that had pink bottoms and jewels on the tops.
Fluttershy had a light blue and yellow dress with a butterfly clip in her hair. She had blue boots with pink bottoms and straps.
Rainbow Dash had a rainbow dress that resembled more of a sleeveless tank top. She had dark pink boots with little wings on them.
Applejack had a white scarf with her dress being dark blue with a red ribbon around the waist and and apple pattern at the bottom. She wore slightly different boots with green bottoms and her hat now had a light green ribbon and a rose on it.
Lincoln wore a simple blue tux with matching pants and black flats. He had a white undershirt with an orange tie.
Wallflower Blush's outfit had a plant theme. The entire dress was a light green and slight sparkly. The bottom of her dress resembled leaves as she had a brown ribbon with a daisy on it. She wore white long gloves with a rose pattern and her hair was done in a ponytail with a sunflower clip.
Finally Twilight's dress consisted of a pink sparkly dress with white and purple stripes around the waist as well as a white ribbon. She also had pink and white boots with dark purple bottoms.
As they exited the limo, suddenly a black car with lightning bolts painted on it drove up next to it. Out of it stepped Flash Sentry with a black tux with a blue undershirt and a rose on the collor of the tux.
"Twilight!" Flash called out, making Twilight stop before she entered the school with the rest of her friends. Twilight watched as Flash ran up to her with a blush.
"Hey Flash…" Twilight greeted as they both looked into each other's eyes.
"Hey Twilight…" Flash greeted back with red cheeks. "You...you look really nice."
"So do you." Twilight said back as they both simply entered an awkward. Suddenly they both broke it by giggling. "Sorry, I'm not quite used to this."
"It's cool. I'm a little nervous to." Flash told her making Twilight smile sweetly. Flash then walked past Twilight and opened up the door for her. "Ladies first."
"My, what a gentlemen." Twilight said with her best Rarity impression, making them both laugh a bit.
Inside the gym, the dance was in full swing. The disco ball was rotating along with mutli-colored spotlights. All the students were dancing around while Flash Sentry and his band were playing on stage.
There were two people however who weren't dancing around and partying. Lincoln and Wallflower. "You see her anywhere?" Lincoln asked as he and Wallflower looked around for one person in particular.
"I can't find Sunset Shimmer anywhere." Wallflower answered as they failed to find the red and yellow haired girl anywhere.
"She's probably hiding somewhere." Lincoln assumed as he turned to the green skin girl. "Probably waiting for the crowning of Princess to do something."
"Yeah, wouldn't surprise me if she had something planned." Wallflower said as it was safe to assume Sunset had some sort of back up plan to get the crown.
As she said that, Flash and his band ended the song they were playing. The rainbow colored lights around the room went off as regular spotlights shined over the stage as Principle Celestia walked up to the middle of the stage and announced. "First off I wanna say how wonderful everything looks tonight. It's so nice seeing all of you together like this after so long." The principle told everyone as it brought her joy to see all of her students together instead of separated into groups. "And now, without further ado, I'd like to announce the winner of this year's Fall Formal Crown."
As Celestia announced this, her sister Vice-Principle Luna came in holding a locked wooden chest. She then opened it to reveal Twilight's crown with her Element of Harmony still in it and shining. Luna then handed an envelope to her older sister as Celestia opened it and started to announce. "The Princess of this year's Fall Formal is...TWILIGHT SPARKLE!"
The entire crowd all cheered as Twilight's friends started hugging each other. However, everyone failed to notice Snips and Snails coming in through the doors as Twilight walked up onto stage.
"Congratulations, Twilight." Celestia said as she proceeded to put the crown on Twilight head.
The crown glowed when it was placed on her head. The crowd cheered again as Twilight nervously waved her hand to everyone when-
"TWILIGHT! HELP!"
"Spike?!" Twilight gasped as she heard the voice of the dragon turned dog calling out to her. Twilight looked around to see that Snips and Snail's had captured Spike and were leaving the gym. "They got Spike!"
Twilight quickly jumped off the stage as she began running after the two boys with the rest of her CHS friends following close behind. Lincoln and Wallflower also took off after them but due to being on the opposite end of the gym had to take a bit more time to catch up.
They all ended up following the two boys outside and over to the statue that contained the portal to Equestria. When they made it there, they saw Sunset Shimmer step up from behind the statue holding a sledgehammer. "That's close enough!" Sunset yelled as she got ready too swing the hammer.
Twilight's eyes widened in fear as she realized that Sunset was threatening to destroy the portal to Equestria. "Twilight!" Spike yelled as Snips and Snails held him tight to keep him from escaping.
"Don't hurt him!" Twilight yelled as she raised her fist.
"Oh I wouldn't dream of it." Sunset said while gripping the hammer tight. "I'm not a monster Twilight." Sunset then looked to Snips and Snail's and ordered. "Let him go!"
Snips and Snail's were confused and surprised by Sunset's order, but ultimatly followed as they let the purple dog go as he quickly ran up to the purple skinned girl as she caught him and gave the dog a hug.
"You don't belong here." Sunset said as all the girls glared at her. "Give me the crown and you can go back to Equestria tonight. Or keep it and never go home!"
They all watched and gasped as Sunset got ready to smash the mirror at anypoint. Twilight begun thinking about the options and what she could do, and as she was doing that, suddenly…
"SUNSET SHIMMER!" Everyone, including Sunset, eyes widened at the voice as they all looked to see Lincoln and Wallflower Blush finally catching up.
They ran up in front of Twilight and the others with Wallflower Blush putting her hands to her knees as she started heavily breathing. "Oh man...I'm really...out of shape." She said in between breaths.
Lincoln then looked Sunset in her eyes as the yellow skinned girl glared hard at her. However, Lincoln could see that her arms started to tremble a bit as he made himself known. Yesterday's conversation was still having an effect on her.
"Listen to me." Lincoln said in a calm and reasoning tone. "You don't have to do this. You don't have to be alone. Please just let me talk to you."
"Just shut up!" Sunset immediately yelled back as she started to lose her demeanor right away. 'Just stop doing this!"
"I won't!" Lincoln answered back firmly as he spread his arms out. "Look. I don't know your full story. But I know you've gone through a lot. More than a lot of people or ponies for that matter. But please. You don't have to be alone anymore. Please. Just let me talk to you. You don't have to do this. Any of this. We can...just...talk."
Sunset's breathing got funny as her whole body started shaking. Every word the Loud boy said got to her and started making painful memories go through her head. Memories of loneliness. Pain. And being thrown away like trash.
The girl's behind Twilight all watched the scene with surprise at both how Sunset's reacting and at what Lincoln was saying. "What's goin on?" Applejack asked quietly.
"I have no idea." Rarity answered quietly as well.
Before Sunset could even try and think of anything to say back, suddenly Wallflower regained her breath and spoke up. "He's right." The green skinned girl answered as Sunset looked to her with a confused but still angry expression. "Trust me."
"I don't even know who you are." Sunset told her with her tone starting to break.
"No one does!" Wallflower yelled as Sunset raised her eyebrow in response. "No one knows who I am! I've been at this school just as long as the rest of you, but until recently, no one even knew my name! I've spent years at this school with everyone not even knowing I existed. I had no friends! Only plants! So I know how you feel! I really do know what it feels like to feel alone. To feel like no one cares about you."
"...R...Really?" Sunset surprising asked in a calm tone as she look Wallflower blush in the eyes.
"Yes." Wallflower answered simply and gave the girl a small smile.
Sunset was frozen. Her breathing as funny and she found her mouth suddenly dry. She took down as her brain tried to think of what to do. She could hardly think straight due to all the emotions and memories going through her right now.
Twilight looked up at the two in front of her and saw what they were doing. She let go of Spike and stood up and walked in front of Wallflower and Lincoln. However the two's eyes widened when she did this as they started shaking their heads at her rapidly at her. "Listen, Sunset Shimmer, I may not know what you've been through, but please listen to me."
"Uh, Twilight. I really don't think you should be the one talking to her." Lincoln said quickly as Wallflower nodded in agreement.
However Twilight didn't seem to hear as she kept speaking despite their warnings. "I can tell what you've been through affected you a lot. Enough to cause you to betray Celestia and come here and do what you've done. But it doesn't have to be this way. Just let me help you."
"...Help me…" Sunset said to Twilight. Her tone leaking with nothing but bitterness and venom. Gone were those emotions and memories Lincoln and Wallflower caused her to experience. What Twilight said to her only made her experience the same things she felt towards her for years, only ten-fold. Anger. Bitterness. Hate.
"YOU WANNA HELP ME?! WHEN EVERYTHING IS YOUR FAULT!" Sunset roared, causing everyone to flinch. "IT'S YOUR FAULT THEY ALL LEFT ME! IT'S YOUR FAULT SHE LEFT ME! IT'S YOUR FAULT SHE STOPPED LOVING ME! IT'S YOUR FAULT SHE THREW ME AWAY! AND YOU WANNA HELP ME?! I HATE YOU!"
Before Twilight had a chance to process everything Sunset tackled Twilight to the ground causing her crown to fall off her head and start rolling away. Sunset tried to reach for it, for Twilight held her back.
Just then Spike came in and grabbed the crown in his mouth and started running away with it. "After him you fools!" Sunset ordered Snips and Snails. The two boys quickly followed her orders as they started chasing Spike.
However Sunset got up quickly and push the two out of her way as she pursued the purple dog at a faster speed with everyone else following close behind. Spike ran to the doors to the school and tried to open them, but his dog paws were unable to do so. He looked behind him to see Sunset looming right over him and preparing to take the crown.
"Spike!" Rainbow yelled as she waved her hands to him. Spike knew what Rainbow was doing and proceeded to turn his head and throw the crown to the athlete. Right as Rainbow caught it, Snips and Snails surrounded her and tried grabbing it.
Rainbow was able to hold them off, but she saw Sunset running towards her and turned her head towards Fluttershy and shouted. "Fluttershy! Catch!" Rainbow then threw the crown towards the pinkette.
The crown ended up bouncing against her back, but Fluttershy quickly turned around and caught it. But she then froze in fear as Sunset, Snips, and Snails started approaching her.
Just then Applejack pulled out a lasso and used it to catch Fluttershy and used it to pull Fluttershy away from danger. The shy girl then quickly handed the crown to Applejack. "Rarity!" Applejack called out as she tossed the crown towards her girlfriend.
Rarity quickly caught it, causing her to be targeted. Rarity then got ready to throw the crown, but suddenly Snips came in from behind and snatched it from her hand. Snips quickly started running to Sunset to give it to her.
But suddenly Pinkie Pie appeared behind him and snatched it back as Pinkie shouted. "Lincoln!" And threw the crown towards the white-head.
"I got it!" Lincoln shouted as he jumped and caught the crown. Sunset then started running after him as Lincoln turned to Wallflower and called out her name, "Wallflower!" And threw the crown towards her.
Wallflower Blush managed to catch it as Snips and Snails quickly rushed over to her. "Twilight!" Wallflower shouted as she threw the crown to its owner.
Twilight caught it as Snips and Snails immediately started running towards her. Twilight instinctively threw the crown behind her and didn't look to see who exactly was behind her.
Sunset Shimmer.
"I'll take that." Sunset said as she caught the crown. Everyone froze and watched as she hovered the crown over her head and glared hard at Twilight and said to her in a dark tone. "You took everything from me. Now I'll take everything from you!"
Sunset then put on the crown. It reacted immediately as black and blue energy started to surrounded Sunset when-
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHH!" They heard the girl scream in agony as a beacon of magic energy surrounded her and started raising her up off the ground.
Tears of immense pain started to flow out of Sunset's eyes as the magic of the crown started flowing through her. She managed to pry her eyes open and through the beacon of energy, she spotted the person who's been trying to help her. To get her to open up. To save her. Sunset managed to say one thing to Lincoln before the magic completely overtook her…
"...Help...me…"
The pupils then disappeared from Sunset's eyes as her eyes glowed a white color. Shadowy energy started to cover Sunset as she started transforming. Her skin changed color. She grew a tail and wings. Even her cloths changed.
In a bright flash of light, the transformation was complete. Everyone looked to see that Sunset Shimmer had turned into a demon. Her skin was an ugly red with sharp claws on her hands. She had wings that were black on the back and red on the front with a couple holes on each side. Her hair resembled fire now along with a long tail that was the same color as her hair. She had a dress that was also in a fiery shape with the top being yellow, the middle being black, and the bottom being the same color as her hair and tail. Her eyes were black with blue pupils.
The demon looked over herself before she started to evilly laugh at the success of her gaining the magic. Everyone either glared at her or froze in fear with Lincoln in particular gave a stone cold glare to the transformed girl as the crown she was wearing as well as her hands glowed with the same black and blue magical energy.
Sunset then shot out two beams of magic energy right at Snips and Snails. This caused them to suddenly change into demons with them grinning and Snips saying. "This is gonna be so cool!"
They then started to walk towards the group with them getting ready for a fight with Rainbow and Applejack raising their fist.
Just then they heard screams and looked to see all the other students at the doors to the school. They have seen the whole thing and quickly tried to lock themselves inside the school for protection. Sunset noticed this and landed in front of the school and looked at all the students fearing her and said. "I've had to jump through so many hoops tonight just to get my hands on this crown." She monologue to all the students. "And it really should have been mine all along. But let's be bygones be bygones. I am your princess now. And you will be loyal to me!"
Sunset then used her new powers to destroy the front wall of CHS and flew inside the school with all the students running away from the incoming demon as the crown on her glowed again.
Sunset then put her hands to her forehead and when she opened her eyes, they turned into hypnotic swirls. Suddenly hypnotic waves surrounded all the students as they were put into a hypnotic trance.
Snips and Snails then came up to Sunset as she ordered. "Round them up and bring them to the portal." She ordered as her goons nodded and went off to follow her orders.
"HEY!" Sunset heard a familiar voice yell. The transformed demon look to the entrance she destroyed and look to see Lincoln walking forward with a stone cold glare still on his face.
Sunset simply grinned as she looked down at the white-head before saying. "What? Gonna try and talk to me? To help me? To convince me to stop?"
"...No." Lincoln said while looking straight into the demons eyes. "I wanted and still want to help Sunset. Not whatever you are." Lincoln then looked up at the crown and continued. "That crown took control and is possessing you. Sunset, I don't know if you can hear me, but don't worry, I'm going to save you!"
The demon simply growled at Lincoln before she started laughing evily and said. "Oh really now! And just how do you plan to stop me? I have magic! And what do you have?!"
Lincoln smirked at the demon as he rolled up his tux's left sleeve to show the Ultimatrix. "More than you think." Lincoln said confidently as he activated the alien device. "Gonna need one of my heavy hitters." Lincoln continued scrolling through aliens, looking for one with enough power to take on the demon.
And just then, he found the perfect one. "Well, he should be a good one." Lincoln said as he slapped down the core.
Lincoln was then engulfed in an extremely bright emerald flash. "AAAAAHH!" Sunset yelled as the flash temporarily blinded her
When the flash died down, Sunset's eyes widened in surprise as her jaw dropped. In Lincoln's place was a 15-foot-tall robotic being that was white and orange in color. He had cylinder's on his wrist that were filled with a constantly moving orange energy with that same energy being located on sphere's on his shoulders, the top of his cone shaped head, and an Ultimatrix shaped symbol on his chest with the actual Ultimatrix located on his belt.
When he spoke, he talked in a stereotypical superhero voice. "Atomix!" He announced as powerful energy radiated through his entire body.
"What the?!" Sunset yelled as she flew up in surprise. "What are you some kind of freak?!"
"Look in the mirror lately?" Atomix retorted. Sunset growl as she fired a magic blast from her hands at Atomix, but to her surprise the alien hero simply backhanded it behind him and into the sky where it exploded. Before Sunset had the chance to do anything, suddenly Atomix appeared in front of her and grabbed her arm.
The nuclear alien spun around a few times while holding onto Sunset and proceeded to throw Sunset at high speeds into the sky outside. Atomix then started to fly after her, but not before turning the group of girls behind him and said. "Just leave this me!"
Once Sunset stopped, she rubbed her head as she was dazed and dizzy from the throw, before she could recover though, Atomix flew up to her and delivered a power punch to her face, sending her back. Sunset screamed in pain as she held the spot she was punched and glared hard at Atomix. "You've gotten in my way one to many times!" The crown and Sunset's hand glowed as the demon launched a barrage of fire balls at the alien.
"Nuclear dome!" Atomic shouted as he crossed his arms and formed a shield of orange nuclear energy around him. The shield successfully block all the fireballs and when the barrage ended Atomix put his first together and flew straight at Sunset. "Fissle Whistle!"
Both of Atomix fist collided with the demons gut, knocking the air out of her as she was sent rocketing to the ground. A dust cloud was created when Sunset landed as Atomix waited for it to clear to see what happened. But just then Sunset came flying out of the dust at high speeds with a sphere of magic in her hands.
She flew up to Atomix and fire the magic attack point blank at his face. Atomix was launched back spinning with his face covered in soot. Before he could recover, Sunset rushed him again and kicked him in the cut before she started to slash him with her cloths. Thankfully his extremely tough metal body meant the physical attacks didn't do much.
Atomix took the opportunity to kick Sunset away and put his hands together and chant. "HAA-MEE-NA HAA-MEE-NA HAA-MEE-NA-HA!" He formed a sphere of orange nuclear energy in between his hands while he chanting right before throwing it right at Sunset.
Sunset reacted quickly and formed her own sphere of magic energy and sent it right at the nuclear ball to counter. When the two attacks collided they exploded on impact and created a great amount of backslash and sent both Atomix and Sunset back.
As Atomix was fly back, he pointed all of his fingers from his right hand at Sunset while holding his arm with his left hand to aim and shouted. "Gamma Reactor Blaster!" Atomix then fired a barrage of mini nuclear spheres at Sunset.
The demon noticed the barrage coming at her and crossed her arms and created a magic shield around her to block them. It was working at first but the barrage never ceased as her shield started to crack.
Just then Atomix stopped his attack as his wrist contained glowed as he crossed his arms in front of him in an X shape and shouted. "Nuclear Slasher!" Atomix then slashed his arms in front of him and sent an X shape beam of orange nuclear energy at Sunset.
When it collided with her damaged shield, a large explosion was made as it completely destroyed the demons defense and sent her fly towards the ground. She managed to stop herself before she crashed.
She breathed heavily as her body was covered in bruises and scratches and even a few burns. She looked to Atomix and saw that he only had light damage compared to her and still looked ready for more.
She growl hard as the crown and her hands glowed extremly bright as she summoned all the magic energy she could and shouted. "I'VE HAD ENOUGH OF YOU! JUST DIE ALREADY!" Sunset then unleashed a massive beam of magic energy straight at the nuclear alien.
Atomix's entire boyd glowed brightly with powerful nuclear energy as she said. "Nuclear...DESTRUCTOR!" Atomix then fired his own powerful orange beam right at Sunset's own magic beam.
When the two attacks collided, they were in a stand still for a moment but just then Atomix's beam slowly started overpowering Sunset's beam. Sunset gritted her teeth as she tried to put more power into her attack, but was unable to as Atomix's beam slowly got closer to her. "N-No!" Sunset shouted as she was beginning to be pushed back.
Just then she looked around for anything that could give her some sort of advantage. And just then her eyes found themselves to the school grounds where she saw Twilight and her group staring at the battle with aw. A wicked smile came to the demons face as she said. "Hey! Did anyone ever tell you to watch your backside!"
"Huh?" Atomix questioned as he never let up his attack.
Just then Sunset removed one of her hands from the beam she was firing and created a sphere of magic energy...and fired it right at Twilight and the rest of the group.
"No!" Atomix shouted as he watched the attack fly towards them.
Twilight, Rarity, Applejack, Fluttershy, Rainbow Dash, Pinkie Pie and Wallflower all screamed as they huddled together in protection when the attack stuck them with an explosion. Atomix's eyes widened in horror as he seized his beam. Sunset then started laughing wickedly, thinking she'd won and destoryed the girls.
But just then a light shined through the smoke making Sunset's eyes widened as when the smoke cleared it showed the girls were perfectly fine and were actually covered in a pink magic energy shield.
The girls all realized this as they stood up and looked over themselves. The only one not glowing was Wallflower Blush as she was shielded from the attack from the other girls.
Twilight seemed to know what was going on and looked to Sunset with a confident expression and said. "The magic contained within my element was able to unite with those that helped create it!" As she said it, suddenly the crown glowed without Sunset's command as it shined a beam of pink energy towards the Main 6.
The magic lifted them up into the air and making them go through transformations of their own. They all gained pony ears on their heads as their hair extended to long ponytails. Fluttershy, Rainbow Dash, and Twilight in particular gained wings on their backs.
"Wooooow…" Wallflower watched in amazement as the girls transformed right in front of her.
"Honesty...Kindness...Laughter...Generosity...Loyalty...Magic!" Twilight listed as their magic continued growing. "Together with the crown, they create a power beyond anything you could imagine. But it is a power you don't have the ability to control. The crown may be upon your head, Sunset Shimmer, but you cannot wield it, because you do not possess the most powerful magic of all…"
"The Magic of Friendship."
The Main 6 then all joined hands into the shape of a heart as rainbow energy started to fire at Sunset Shimmer and surround her. Atomix watched all this as he floated to the ground and changed back to human form.
"What is happening?" Sunset yelled as the rainbow beams surround her.
The rainbow beams intensified with Twilight's eyes glowing as she said. "Here and in Equestria, it is the only magic that can truly unite us all. The rainbow beams then spread over to the Cantorlot students, freeing them from their mind control and even turning Snips and Snails back to normal.
And then finally, a bright flash of light was created that blinded everyone.
When it cleared, everyone saw a huge crater where Sunset was. There was smoke rising from it. Lincoln, Twilight, and everyone else went over to the crater and when the smoke cleared it showed Sunset Shimmer turned back to normal on her hands and knees. Her cloths were ripped up and her hair was frizzed out a bit. And under her face, if you looked closely enough, you could see a small puddle of tears.
Lincoln looked to her with sympathy Twilight glared down at her and spoke. "You will never rule in Equestria. Any power you may have had in this world is gone." She said as everyone looked down at her. "Tonight, you've shown everyone who you really are."
However, as she was saying this, Wallflower and Lincoln glanced at Twilight and gave the purple skin girl light glares."You've shown them what is in your heart." Twilight continued as Sunset looked up to everyone with tears streaming down her eyes.
"I-I'm sorry...I'm so sorry." Sunset said to everyone while sobbing. "I didn't know there was another way."
"The Magic of Friendship doesn't just exist in Equestria. It's everywhere." Twilight said while glancing over to her CHS friends. She then turned to Sunset and spoke in a rather dark tone. "You can seek it out. Or you can forever be alone. The choice is-
SLAP!
"Ow!" Twilight yelled in pain as she was suddenly cut off by Lincoln slapping the back of her head. Everyone gasped at the sight and looked at the white-head with surprise. "Lincoln! What was that for!" Twilight yelled at the Ultimatrix user while glaring hard at him as she rubbed the spot he slapped.
"Twilight you need to cool it!" Lincoln yelled back while glaring back at Twilight, making her and a majority of the people watching flinch. Lincoln then took a deep breath to calm himself down as he spoke up again in a calmer but stern tone. "Twilight...you really are the last person that should be telling her that."
Before Twilight could ask any further, Lincoln jumped down into the crater and walked up to Sunset. Sunset looked up at him with tears still streaming down her eyes as he gave her a soft smile. "Need a hand." He asked softly.
Sunset looked down in shame, but hesitantly reached a shaky hand out and grabbed the hand he offered. Lincoln pulled her up and proceeded to pick her up piggy back style surprising her. "Come on, let's get out of this crater."
Sunset simply let it happened and gave a quiet and broken. "Ok…" As Lincoln climbed them both out of the crater.
Once they were out, Lincoln set Sunset down on the ground on her feet. The second he did, Sunset quickly pulled Lincoln into a hug and buried her head into his chest and began quietly sobbing while saying. "I'm sorry...I'm so, so, sorry."
"Ssh, ssh, ssh, ssh, It's alright, it's alright." Lincoln softly told her while gently patting her back. "You don't have to be alone anymore."
Just then Sunset felt a hand on her shoulder as he removed her head from Lincoln's chest and saw Wallflower giving her a sympathetic smile and told her. "We're here for you." The green skinned girl reassured her before turning to the CHS group, still in their pony forms. "Right?"
Applejack, Rainbow, Rarity, Fluttershy, and Pinkie looked at them with smiles and crossed arms as they nodded their heads causing Sunset's eyes widened in surprise before she looked down sniffled.
"Those are my girls! Woohoo!" Spike cheered as everyone present looks to the talking dog in surprise.
"Did that dog just talk? Woah, weird." A male student asked in surprise.
Spike looked at him with a 'really' look as he said. "Seriously, out of everything that just happened, the talking dog is what weirds you out?'
"Well I think he's adorable." Rarity said as she came up to Spike and picked him up and scratched his belly with Spike enjoying every bit of it.
Just the Principal Celestia walked up behind Twilight with something in her hands. "I believe this belongs to you." She said, getting Twilight attention's with said girls crown in her hand. Just then Twilight bowed to her as the Principle offered some words of wisdom. "A true Princess in any world leads not by forcing other to bow before her, but by inspiring others to stand with her. We have all seen that you are capable of just that. I hope you see it too, Princess Twilight."
Celestia then put the crown on her head as Twilight looked to her with sparkles in her eyes and nodded. "I do."
Everyone then all cheered for Twilight as the princess heard a familiar voice behind her. "Would now be a completely awkward time to ask you for that dance?" Flash asked as he held his hand out to her.
Twilight looked at the moon and saw that they still had a couple of hours before the portal closed. So she took his hand with Flash quickly starting to dance with her.
And then the Fall Formal was back in full swing. Everyone was back in the gym dancing and having fun with each other. Twilight was currently dancing like she would in her pony body, and Flash ended up dancing along with her like that.
Pinkie had managed to get Wallflower to start a conga line with her as Applejack danced with her big brother. Rainbow Dash was making full use of her wings and took the human Scootaloo in the air with her.
Rarity and Fluttershy ended up joining Pinkie's and Wallflowers Conga.
There were a few who weren't partying however. One of them was Lincoln and Vice-Principle Luna who were both looked at the destroyed entrance to CHS. "Quite the hole." Lincoln commented simply.
"Yes, it'll take quite a while to patch up." Luna commented with a sigh. "But, me and Celestia have discussed have Sunser Shimmer, Snips, and Snails repair it. Help teach them some discipline."
Lincoln glanced at Luna for a moment before looking back at the destroyed wall and walking towards it. "I got it." Lincoln said as he activated the Ultimatrix.
"What?" Luna asked as Lincoln was suddenly engulfed in an emerald flash.
Standing in Lincoln place was now a robot-like aliens made of copper with a wind-up key on his forehead and the Ultimtrix symbol on his chest.
"Clockwork!" He announced in a german accent. Luna was surprised, but after everything that's happened tonight she just decided to roll with it.
Clock then raised his hands towards the hole as his they key on his hand started rotating counterclockwise with green beams firing out of his hands. Suddenly, time itself began reversing around the entrance. Suddenly everything was good as new as the entrance looked like nothing happened to it.
Once that was done, Clockwork turned back to Lincoln and dusted his hands and said. "There, easy-peasy."
Luna looked with widened eyes before looking to Lincoln and sighing a bit. "While I do appreciate the help, we were hoping the repairing of the entrance could have been used as a disciplinary action for Sunset."
"She doesn't need that." Lincoln told her simply while looking in the eye. "She just...she just needs a little help."
Luna looked at Lincoln with an unsure look before she relented and sigh. "Very well. I'll let you talk to her." Lincoln nodded in appreciation as he went inside the school and began looking for the yellow skinned girl.
It didn't take long because as he looked through the halls, he heard the sound of crying and went to the source and found Sunset curled up into a ball in front of the lockers and sobbing to herself.
"Hey." Lincoln said softly, making himself known.
Sunset flinched and saw Lincoln in front of her with a small smile on his lips. Sunset averted her gaze and quietly said. "Hey…"
"You alright?" Lincoln asked, despite knowing the answer.
Sunset didn't verbally respond and simply shook her head. "You wanna talk about it?" Lincoln asked. Sunset trembled more as tears continued streaming down her face. Lincoln frowned sadly as he said. "Sunset. I wanna help you. I really do. But I can't if you don't talk to me. So please, tell me what's wrong."
Sunset was silent for a moment and started to stand up. Once she was on her feet, she hugged herself and slowly started to walk away with a lowered head...and…
Sunset:
Leave me be, say goodbye.
You can't help. Why must you try?
Why must you...stay with me.
Your battles won. Go with your family.
More tears went down Sunset's face as she sang, but Lincoln wasn't going to give up and walked towards her and sung himself.
Lincoln:
It's not fair to be alone. After what you've been through.
So let me just ease your pain. Please let me stay with you.
I'll continue to reach out. I won't abandon you.
Determination fuels me to keep trying to save you.
Sunset:
I don't deserve, your mercy.
Lincoln:
I will give you my mercy. Because it's clear to me,
Sunset:
If you won't fight, please just leave.
Lincoln:
Fighting won't solve anything. Forgiveness isn't easy.
Sunset:
No one came or heard my call. I'm so glad you followed her.
Lincoln:
I will stay here by your side. I know it's frightening. To think that you'll be alone.
But that my friend is why I will spare your life always.
Sunset:
Leave me be, say goodbye.
You can't help. Why must you try.
Lincoln:
I'll hold you tight and close. We will be together here until it's safe to go.
Sunset:
Why must you, stay with me?
Your battles won. Go with your family.
Lincoln:
I'll continue to reach out. I won't abandon you. Determination fuels me to keep trying to save you.
Sunset:
I don't deserve your mercy.
Lincoln:
I will give you my mercy. Because it's clear to me.
Fighting won't solve anything. Forgiveness isn't easy.
Sunset:
If you won't fight, please just leave.
No one came or heard my call. I'm so glad you followed her.
Lincoln:
I will stay here by your side. I know it's frightening. To think you'll be alone.
But that my friend is why I will spare your life always.
Sunset:
Forgive me. Stay with me.
Lincoln:
I'll hold you tight and close. We will be together here until it's safe to go.
Sunset:
You're the first light I've seen…
When the song ended. Lincoln was hugging Sunset close as the girl sobbed loudly into his chest. Lincoln simply patted her back and told her to let it all out as she released all of her built up sadness into her sobs.
The two simply stayed like that for 15 minutes until Sunset stopped crying. It's not that she felt any less sad, she just ran out of tears. When they separated, Sunsets eyes were red and puffy from all the crying she's been doing. The two leaned against the lockers and sat down.
Lincoln put his hand on Sunset's shoulder and asked. "Any better."
Sunset shook her head and looked down. "No...but I guess it felt nice to let it all out." Sunset answered as Lincoln gave her a soft smile.
"So, ready to open up?" Lincoln asked her quietly.
"...No...but I should." Sunset answered him and Lincoln nodded quietly. "But can I ask you a question first?" Lincoln raised a brow at the request but nodded. "How did you know? How were you able to say you understood how I felt?"
Lincoln flinched a bit. He knew this was coming so we might as well tell her. "Well, you see...I kinda read this." Lincoln said as he pulled from his pocket Sunset's diary. Sunset's eyes widened as much as they could in there state as Lincoln said. "I...followed you to your apartment the day I got here and sorta found and read it...sorry."
Sunset was silent for a minute before her face went sad again as she said. "It's fine. I've honestly done much worse."
Lincoln patted her shoulder a few times and said. "I need to know the full story so I can help you. So please…"
Sunset took a very deep breathe. She really wasn't ready for this. But after everything that's happened, everything she's done, everything Lincoln's tried doing for her...it was the least she could do. "Alright…" Sunset said as she began telling her story. "It started when…"
A few hours later, Twilight was saying goodbye to all the human versions of her pony friends. They all hugged each other and saying their goodbyes.
Meanwhile Wallflower and Lincoln said their own goodbye with Wallflower reminded Lincoln of his promise to open up the portal again somehow. Lincoln agreed, but Wallflower noticed Lincoln seemed a lot more...aggressive and impatient now. She didn't ask about and assumed it must have been something involving Sunset since she knew he went to talk to her.
"I know we've only known each other a short time. But I'm gonna miss you all so much." Twilight told Wallflower and the human Pinkie Pie, Rarity, Applejack, Fluttershy, and Rainbow Dash with tears in her eyes. They all nodded with sad smiles as Twilight turned to Lincoln and said. "Are you ready to g...hey...is everything all right?"
Twilight noticed that Lincoln's expression was unreadable. And his eyes were hidden by the shadow of his hair. Without turning to her, Lincoln said. "You go on ahead, I'll check out. I just want to tell them all one thing."
Twilight flinched a bit at his tone, but ultimately went along as she and Spike walked over to the portal and proceeded to jump through, finally going back to Equestria.
"So, what did you wanna tell us Linc?" Applejack asked with a raised brow.
Lincoln's expression didn't change as he went on to say. "Sunset Shimmer's been through a lot. More than any of you. She did what she did for a reason. So I'm counting on all of you to watch over her and be there for her." Lincoln said as they all nodded at him. But that wasn't good enough for the white-head as he added a little extra incentive. "Because know this, if I find out that any of you have left her, ditched her, or abandoned her for any reason, and I don't care what...there's nowhere you can hide...where I won't find you."
All the girls quickly paled at this and rose up their hands and rapidly nodded their heads. After finding out and seeing what he could do with just a few of his many forms...they really didn't wanna be on the receiving end.
The only one who didn't react fearfully was Wallflower who gave a reassuring nod and said. "We promise."
Lincoln gave a nod of approval and last goodbye as he turned turned the portal and began walking to it. All the while muttering one things…
"That mare is dead when I get back!"
EQUESTRIA
When Lincoln exited the portal and found himself in Equestria again, he saw the pony versions of their friends and princesses surrounding Twilight with hugs and words of relief. They then saw Lincoln come in through the mirror and looked to him with Cadence saying. "Lincoln! I'm so glad you made it! I was afraid you didn't make it."
"..." Lincoln didn't give a reply. Everypony looked at him with confused and concerned looks when they saw his unreadable expression.
And just then, Princess Celestia walk up to the two of them with a concerned look on her face. But when she did, Lincoln looked at her with an utterly enraged glare that she didn't notice. "Sunset Shimmer. Is she alright?" The solar princess asked with worry.
Twilight smiled and was about to reassure Celestia that things were alright, but Lincoln beat her to when he spoke with venom leaking out of his voice. "Oh, and you actually care!"
Everypony flinched at the words and tone he used towards the princess. Especially when they saw the look he was given her. Celestia herself flinched as she took a step back and asked. "Wh-what do you m-mean. Of course I-"
Just then Lincoln got right into her face with the same expression as he pointed out the door. "You. Me. Talk. NOW!" He didn't give her a chance to respond as he walked towards the door and kicked it opened aggressively.
Everypony was really taken aback by this as they back up and flinched from Lincoln's exit. Celestia herself even had a bit of fear and nervousness in her as she stuttered out an "O-Ok…" before she followed after Lincoln.
4 minutes later, Celestia and Lincoln were now in an empty room with nopony else in it. Once Celestia closed the door she looked to Lincoln with a slightly nervous expression and said. "Look, Lincoln, I don't know what's wrong. But if there's anything I can do you just have to as-
SMACK!
Celestia was cut off and sent to the ground when Lincoln gave possibly the strongest and most audible slap he's ever given to the solar princess. Celestia landed on the ground with a thud as she touched the spot she was slapped and wince as it stung like the dickens as well as a red mark being visible on the spot she was slapped.
Celestia looked up at Lincoln was about to demand the meaning of this...but stopped and flinched fearfully when Lincoln gave her a look to show one thing.
He was completely pissed at her.
"I...know...everything!"
...Stay tuned to the next chapter...
Abandoned.
