Hello again, this is part 2 of "Friendship Is Magic: Part 2" I'm sorry that I had to split the chapter but it was getting too long. Also something that always bothered me about the two-part series premiere was the fact that Celestia was captured, but then just appears at the end without any explanation as to where she was, who captured her, or how she escaped. So I hope you enjoy my take on the matter!

When I woke up, I found Sunbeam standing over me.

"Uh, what happened?" I groaned, trying to sit up.

"Well, we were talking and then you just yelped and passed out," she answered.

"Good, now that you're awake, I found a note taped on the door for you," said Snowglider as she walked into the room. She then walked over and handed me the note.

I looked at the note, it was in small curly hand-writing. If you ever want to see your beloved Celestia again, you will meet me in the caverns beneath Canterlot. You are to come ALONE, I read, fail to meet any of these demands, and Celestia will find herself in the moon for the next millennium.

"The MOON!" shouted Snowglider and Sunbeam with looks of horror.

"Apparently," I replied, "I'm going to save Celestia."

"Not without us," said Sunbeam.

"Didn't you read the note? It said I had to go ALONE!" I shouted, feeling shocked that they would offer to help me.

"So, how are you going to stop us from coming?" retorted Snowglider, looking smug.

"Well, now that you mention it…" I said, putting my fore-hoof under my chin, "I am a princess, so I command you not to come."

"She's got you there Snowy," said Sunbeam, who was giggling.

"Urgh!" Snowglider grunted in frustration.

Eventually, Sunbeam got an idea. We started to form a plan, I gave each of them two magic gems. The first one would transport them to me when the step on it. The second one transports me to them. Then I gave them each a magic hand mirror that allows them to see what I see.

"Okay, are you guys ready?" I asked, feeling worried.

"Yeah!" Sunbeam yelled enthusiastically.

"Are you kidding? Of course we are!" shouted Snowglider, equally excited.

With that we set out, by the time we reached the entrance to the caverns it was still night.

"You guys wait here. If I need help transport to me. Err… unless I'm captured and put in a cage, then you transport me to you," I said.

"You got it Princess!" Snowglider said teasingly.

"Snowy! You know I don't like it when you call me that!" I shouted, smiling.

"Whatever you say, Princess," she relied, still smiling.

"Ugh!" I groaned before heading into the caverns.

Then I heard something behind me and I looked back to see the entrance to the caverns closing. I ran back, but the entrance had already closed. With that I continued into the caverns before reaching a cave. I looked around, in the center of the cave there was a fire, to the left of the fire was a small cage where Celestia was laying down, looking defeated. To the right of the fire was a small tent, which a pony walked out of.

"Shay!" I shouted, "What are you doing here?"

"The 'Shay' you once knew is gone," she declared in a booming voice, "I am Nightshade! The NEW RULER OF EQUESTRIA!"

"What?" I said puzzled. Then it hit me, Celestia wasn't captured by Nightmare Moon, she was captured by Nightshade!

"Now you have a choice," she started, "Either join me or you can join Celestia in the moon!"

I froze, not sure what to do. It was then that Celestia stirred, shifting to look right at me. At this point I would like to say that I'm not sure what happened next, but then I would be lying. I threw off my hat and shot a blast of magic at the lock, blasting it to pieces. Just as the lock exploded, Snowglider and Sunbeam appeared next to me.

"Get Celestia to safety! I'll hold off Shay as long as I can, but you'll have to hurry!" I quickly told them, dodging a blast from Nightshade.

As they nodded and ran over to Celestia, I shot a beam at Nightshade but she blocked it with a shield before firing a blast back. I jumped over it and tackled her to the ground, but she threw me off. I landed on the ground hard, just then Nightshade jumped over me and her fore-hoof started glowing as she prepared to use a splashdown. I barely managed to get my shied up in time, and as her hoof connected with my shield, there was an explosion. We were both sent flying, Nightshade into the ceiling and me into the giant crater that was created in the explosion. I hit the ground dazed, and looked up in time to see Nightshade coming down with another splashdown. I shot a beam at her, causing her to lose her focus and countering her attack.

"Just give up! You can never win!" she screamed.

"We'll see about that Shay!" I yelled back.

I then charged at Nightshade bringing my fore-hoof, which was glowing, forward to punch her.

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!

When my fore-hoof connected, it sent her flying with the same amount of power as the splashdown. She crashed into the wall before falling to the ground dazed. Then I felt a surge of magic course through me and I charged my horn for the final blast.

"I'm sorry Shay, but this is the only way," I said, tears forming in my eyes.

"NOOOOOO!" she screamed, but it was too late, because just then I shot a beam of rainbow energy at her, the energy wrapped around her, glowing brightly before exploding. I was sent flying into the wall where I hit my head and everything went black.

This time when I woke up, I saw Celestia standing over me.

"Uh, where am I?" I asked.

"You are in the Canterlot hospital," she said calmly, "After you sent Nightshade to the farthest corner of Equestria, your friends carried you here." Just then Sunbeam and Snowglider ran up and hugged me.

"Don't you ever worry us like that again!" Snowglider scolded me before smiling, "Glad that you survived."

"I'm surprised that I did to, but wait, Celestia? What exactly did I do to Shay?" I asked.

"Well it seems that when the Elements of Harmony were used to stop Nightmare, you taped into that power and used it to send Nightshade to some far corner of Equestria," she answered calmly, "And since nopony has ever managed this before, I think this means that you, Dawnfrost Flitter, are the Princess of Harmony itself…"

That's all for this chapter.

So remember to let me know what you think, and I'll see all you guys in the next chapter!
