Burning Twilight

Chapter 5: Search for the Elements of Harmony


Scene 1: Ponyville

"Now that I have the kelp, I think I can fix the sun and moon!" the pale colored Twilight looked up to the sky, half covered in light and darkness, and concentrated on it. Then, she sprout out her wings and hovered above the ground, her horn pointed directly upwards.

Boom!

Twilight sent a blend of purple and red flames toward the sun and moon, which made an amazing pattern around in the sky. The flames surrounded the sun and moon, and then it seemed the sun was going behind the moon, forming a solar eclipse.

"Woah..." Applejack gaped in awe at how Twilight was able to control the sun and moon somehow.

Twilight then put the sun up and put the moon down, beyond the horizon, creating a graceful sunrise.

The ponies of Ponyville also watched in awe at what was happening.

Finally, the sun was shining. A sun and moon were no longer up at the same time.

"Y-you did it!" Fluttershy looked at the sun that was up. "I've never seen anyone else do it besides Princess Celestia and Luna!"

"Truly dazzling darling! But we cannot celebrate now or stoop down- we must find the Elements of Harmony and find our friends," Rarity pointed out.

Twilight dropped back on to the ground, exhausted. She took a breather and said,"Okay, let's go! I don't know why...I just feel that the Elements of Harmony aren't far. I think they are in Cloudsdale."

"How did you know that?" Pinkie wondered.

"Maybe the powers help you sense stuff?" Spike thought.

"Maybe...let me cast a spell on some of you so you can walk on clouds and investigate." Twilight said.


Scene 2: Cloudsdale

So, after Twilight had cast the spell, she and Fluttershy pulled Rarity, Applejack, Pinkie, and Spike along with them in a hot air balloon. They tugged on some rope dangling from them. When they arrived at Cloudsdale, the balloon landed on the soft surface, and the ponies jumped on the enormous cloud city.

"It'll take forever to find the Elements of Harmony! They could be anywhere," Pinkie looked around the landscape.

"Twi, where'd we go next?" Applejack inquired.

Her fire mane shone as she looked around, and then said,"I feel that there is something nearby, maybe in that storm cloud above Cloudsdale over there?"

Twilight pointed her hoof towards the dark dot in the distance.

"Some of us have to stay down here, though, since some of us cannot fly up there," Fluttershy told Twilight.

"As your number one assistant, I vote watching our pony friends in case they are in aid!" Spike called out hastily after Fluttershy's statement. He eagerly did not want to go through sitting on Twilight's back again after his encounters from before.

"Okay, I guess that matter is settled. Be sure to be on a lookout for the princesses and Rainbow Dash just in case. Tell me if you find something immediately after I come back down. I will be up there with Fluttershy," Twilight instructed the non-winged ponies. "Spike, don't let your guard down. This is an important matter, so I will be depending on you for that job."

"We will be on the lookout safely and carefully, and won't let you down! Cross my heart and hope to fly! Stick a cupcake in my eye!" Pinkie rhymed out to reassure they will be fine.

Twilight let out a chuckle and said,"Okay, then Pinkie. C'mon, Fluttershy! We have no time to spare!"

Fluttershy, of course, shyly nodded at this, and Twilight and Fluttershy were then showered with farewells as they went towards the unique, black, fluffy cloud, willing to give off all of the precipitation it had collected from the past weeks.

When Twilight and Fluttershy got to the cloud, it was weirdly shaped, which was not visible at first glance. It seemed as though pictures were carved into the cloud- an apple, a star, a little rainbow with a cloud...wait! This was familiar.

"The Elements of Harmony are hidden in this cloud! I can tell by the marks it leaves behind in this dusty substance. We've got to bust this cloud," Twilight demanded. She threw a fireball at the cloud, making it turn into ashes. Then, Fluttershy went under the cloud, and then something, with a loud clack, fell into her hooves.

The Elements of Harmony!

"Yay!" Twilight cheered. "Let's check on our friends,"

But when they went from the top of Cloudsdale all the way to bottom, the white Twilight with red, flaming hair and Fluttershy with her curly, pink hair and yellow coat, were left astonished when they couldn't find their warm smiles and faces.

Twilight started to hyperventilate.

"Oh no! Did something happen to them? I hope something didn't, because if they did we have more to worry! We have to find all of our friends, and then what if we never and I cannot sense them, and then I misuse the powers in such a way I don't have them! Or, dark could cross over in our world and take over...and it'll be all my fault because I own the magic of friendship and Element of Harmony and cutie mark! No one will ever forgive me! Imagine how Equestria will be...no protection, free to chaos to strike, and the pony popula-"

"Calm down!" Fluttershy patted her back. "This is not the first time we've been in this situation, by the way. Our friendship of magic is the strongest magic of all, so good will always win over all. It's true, not just in general, but for everything. Also, look how far we've gone! We are fulfilling our destinies as we fight- Nightmare Moon, Princess Chrysalis, and Discord! Why can't we do it again?"

Twilight calmed down a bit, and sighed.

"You're right. It's the same thing as every adventure we've ever been through. We must fight back for our rights to whoever is behind this! Discord is already a statue, but somehow the rest of our friends disappeared. We need to know what this evil is." Twilight reasoned, but then paused. Her flaming mane started to glow as she started to sense something with these new fire powers.

"An evil's presence is near. It is in that little house that looks like a store over there!" Twilight looked at the store, which was at the edge of Cloudsdale.

"We will do this!" Fluttershy cheered, and Twilight nodded in agreement. They ran to the store, going on an adventure like they'd always do. Twilight cast an aura on hers and Fluttershy's Element of Harmony, and wore them on herself and Fluttershy as they bust the doors open.
