"Cressie, what did you just do?" I screamed as a cloud of coal black smoke surrounded us. As she coughed she yelled, "I don't know. You made me mad." "Oh, you're gonna be mad alright! When mom see this…" Starbeam began to say she she screamed. "Sunlight! I gasped in return. "Mom is going to kill us!" "You're mother's not going to be the only one to kill you." Sombra replied. "What do you want Sombra? Don't you have something better to do?" Starbeam said angrily. "Crescenda, If you hadn't snuck out last night…" "Starbeam, stop! He feeds off of negative energy." I screamed in an attempt to rescue my sister. As my horn enlightened to save her from his clutches, our little sister's magic was sacrificed. "Leave my sister alone!" Crescenda screamed as she enlightened her horn. "Cressie, no!" we shouted as our sister's magic was rapidly taken from her. "I bet you wish you listened to your sisters now, Princess." Sombra cracked into an evil laugh and transported away. "He could be anywhere by now." I concluded. "I hope you're happy Crescenda! Equestria is at risk, and it's all your fault! Once again we have to clean up a mess you made!" Starbeam and I yelled as we enlightened our horns. "But I…" Crescenda eyes began to tear up as we transported to The Crystal Empire, where Queen Cadence and our mother were located, and where Sombra most likely went.
Once we got into the throne room and explained the situation to our aunt, uncle, and parents, I collapsed. "Sunlight!" My sister yelled as she ran to me. Sombra had made a jash in my wing, and if not healed properly, I would be seeing Cloudsdale for some time. "Starbeam, take your sister and go!" My mother and aunt yelled. "But what about you?" Starbeam screamed back. "We'll be fine, just go, NOW!" My mother yelped in return. Starbeam wrapped my wing and flew me to the old Everfree Castle. There we retrieved our sister and hid in the dungeon. My sister had grabbed some bedspreads for us to rest on, and some food for us to eat. We were in that enormous castle with hundreds of other injured ponies and paramedics for days. Ponies had brought anything they could levitate, or carry. We resided in the reading room of the library. Healthy ponies were repairing the structure, new housing, furniture, and edibles. Some ponies were teaching healthy fillies and colts academics. Within a few months, the Everfree Forest became a new nation.
Our mother and aunt didn't return for years. Our father and uncle had come back with us, for guarding purposes. The Cakes adopted a new shop in The Everfree Township, which would soon be an empire, as the Everfree forest, little to most pony's knowledge, was filled with clearing in the forms of rivers, streams, mountains, and valleys. Crescenda, even after attempting to redeem herself, was shunned by most ponies her age. After all, she started this whole mess. We hadn't seen our mom in 10 years. This would all change when two foals, a colt and 2 fillies, the colt our half-brother, and the fillies our cousins, appeared at the castle.
After Twilight and Cadence had been corrupted, they both ended up being his Queens. Their Corruption names became Bleeding Heart and Midnight Shine. Twilight could take them out of their corruption stage long enough to get their children into safe hooves and notify Starry and I of the relations of the 3 infants.
