Lesson 2: It isn't always Darkest before Dawn? (Part 2: You can always
recognize the Honest and Kind Girls by their Glances.)

"He's gone! Oh, of all the worst possible things that could happen,
THIS IS THE WORST POSSIBLE THING EVER!" Screeched Rarity, as she did a
twirl and fainted onto a nearby couch.
"What-what do we do? We can't just let him wander into the forest
alone!" Squeaked the Pegasus mare, looking around the now Dusk-less
room. Sure he was brave, but she lived near the forest and knew how
dangerous it could be.
"Just what is that Nerdicorn thinking? We have to find him fast!" Dash
fumed, hating to be ditched. Events echoed in her mind, lying near
death and being saved by him. She had to hate him, she just had to.
Dusk made her feel weak; to fix this, to fix her pride, she had to
repay her debt. It was the Dashian way.

Dusk appeared before the forest, on the border between it and
Ponyville. "I knew you would come Dusk. Always a do-it-yourselfer
weren't you." Amuro called to him, leaning against a tree with a sly
smirk on his face.
"Are you trying to stop me, Amuro? If you are I'll just teleport past
you. Nopony listened. Not you and not my brother. Now this has
happened, so out of my way." Dusk took a stance ready to plow past him
if need be.
"No, not really, go on ahead. It's what the princess would have
wanted...or I assume so. Just remember to come back alive, alright? I
remember when I gave you that lesson on Magesword style. Use it. Trust
me, you'll need it in here, even if it was one of your worst subject,"
teased the amber haired stallion, as he trotted lightly past Dusk.
"I'm just here to make sure nothing comes out and nopony who isn't
supposed to goes in. Good luck."
Dusk raised a brow in confusion, yet he had to time for questions as
he walked into the forest entrance. Immediately he knew things here
were not normal. "This mist, it's teeming with mana. So is the dirt,
the grass and the trees. It-it feels almost … alive?"

Nightmare-Moon had arrived at the ancient castle, deep within the
forest, looking upon the shattered thrones and tattered tapestries.
She closed her eyes, and remembered back, all the memories echoing
out. She let out a loud, ear splitting roar. "SILENCE, SILENCE IT ALL!
IT'S WEAK, I DON'T NEED IT NOW!" She howled to the moon, seeing the
bright pale light within the night sky reaffirmed her focus.
"Weakness, yes weakness but I know the truth."
"The moon glows bright on my kingdom tonight
But I'm nowhere to be seen
It's lunar isolation and it looks like I'm the queen
My stars are glowing, unappreciated now
I tried to keep it in, but I don't know how."
"Don't let them in, don't let them see
Be the good mare you always have to be
Conceal don't feel, don't let them know
Well now they know…"
As she sang her shadow oozed out of the ground, becoming a massive
black inky sea around her as the magical lunar rune appeared below her
feet.
"Let it go, let it go
Can't hold it back anymore
Let it go, let it go
Show them what your power's for
The moon is mine
And it's here to stay
Let the night rage on…
The dark never bothered me anyway."
The shadow took the forms of several all black ponies of shadows all
with glowing turquoise eyes, walking around Nightmare moon in circles
as the damaged throne room began to repair itself.
"It's funny how some distance makes everything seem small
And now that I've returned the sister that controlled me can't get to me at all.
Only her student remains in my way, I'll get her back, I'll get him soon.
You can call me Empress Nightmare Moon.
No right, no wrong, no rules for me
I'm free…"
The shadow ponies all zoomed out of the windows of the throne room as
a new flag appeared above the now repaired throne resembling the Mare
in the Moon.
"Let it go, let it go
I'm one with outer space
Let it go, let it go
It's darkness you will face
Here I stand, and here I stay
Let the night rage on…"
She grabbed several stones from the meteor that carried her to earth
and merged it with her dark energy creating a stone like pony with
rabbit like ears and big azure eyes.
"My power flows into the nightmares of each Shadow soul,
I'm starting to realize the beckoning of my heart and soul!
The darkness covers over, everybody screams
No you don't want me back; I'm evil now it seems…"
"Let it go, let it go
I'm the princess of the night
Let it go, let it go
I'll be causing all this fright
Fear me now! No more light of day
Let the night rage on…
The dark never bothered me anyway."

She sang, her words echoing out as her shadow ponies galloped into the
forest and heading to the four corners of Equestria. Nightmare Moon
looked around the newly rebuilt throne room, only the two side thrones
remaining in disrepair. She walked to the now large, edged, black
throne and sat upon it as her Lunar Stone Pony servant bowed to her.
"Welcome to thine service young Vesta one of the Night Asteroid four.
You shall be thine loyal servant here as Ceres and Pallas were upon
the moon until they and Nightfright may come. Soon, once I have
gathered enough terror energy from the ponies and summoned my army of
darkness from the moon and nightmares from the dream realm, not only
Equestria but the entire planet shall bow before my endless night!"
Juno bowed to her empress, now with the deepest respect. "As you wish
empress, the shadow ponies have already gone to collect energy. What
of the castle, though. We don't have many guards?" Asked the Luna
Stone pony, rather perplexed as to why her mistress sent every dark
shade away and left only her and her empress here.
"Doth thou dare question me Juno? I brought you from the moon and gave
you your body, and here thou are seeing the earth as thou always
dreamed? Besides, the forest has plenty of tricks and treats for any
foolish ponies who dare to come for me." She cackled, as seven shadows
appeared in a Luna stone crystal ball she had created by pressurizing
the remains of the meteorite.
"Yes, the Five Trials of Harmony. None have ever passed it, and none
ever shall."
Just then Nightmare-Moon winced, slightly in pain, before shaking her
head. "Yes, none, and that-that is why your dear empress chose
it...yes, that is why."

The Mares headed towards the forest, hearing creepy chattering around
the entrance of the woods. The girls all gathered in a small circle,
watching each other's backs, saddlebags full of supplies and nerves on
edge.
"It-it's probably jus some furry little critters right Fluttershy?"
Asked AJ, looking towards where Fluttershy, only to see her gone.
Fluttershy was hiding behind Rainbow Dash, shivering. "Th-thats no
animal I've ever heard and I've heard them all."
Out of the darkness shot several Shadow Ponies hissing and roaring
their blank black muzzles unhinging into shark-like mouths as they
lunged on the mares. Dash, AJ and Rarity took fighting stances,
shielding their comrades.
Suddenly, a flurry of white stars zoomed out of the trees, hitting the
Shadows in the head and imploding them. Paper jumped down from the
trees, wearing black night guard armor. "Hey um, sup? You're lucky
Amuro and I am patrolling the border. Things are bad out here. Shadow
ponies are coming from everywhere. It's dangerous, ladies. You should
go home, okay?" Pleaded Paper, removing her helmet and wiping her
brow, soon flanked by two royal guardsmen and two large paper pony
dolls she was magically controlling.
"That's awfully sweet of you, Sugercube," Applejack spoke up. "But
Equestria's our home too. Plus, ya forgot ta put a few facts together:
Our new friend Dusk, he ran on in there to get some fancy-schmacy
weapon ta help. He's some kinda new Emissary and, well he needs us. I
know I jus met 'em but I can just tell, ya know?"
"Yeah! Nerdicorn needs us, so move it folder, cause we got awesomeness
to deliver!" winked Dash, causing Paper to blush at the shear bravery
of these five Mares.
"Fine, fine, just go. But be careful! Oh, also there is a royal
research student in the forest near here as well. If you find her,
bring her with. She may have some maps that can help you. And, also
take this." Paper pulled out a talisman from her saddlebag tossing it
to AJ. "It's a magical beacon. Use that to alert us here at the border
if you need a rescue. I can send in some pegasi to help, but it's only
good once so choose wisely," explained Paper, placing her helmet back
on and saluting the five-some of fillies.
"Mighty obliged Ms. Knight, we'll make sure ta alert ya ifin we need
ta. Come on gals, we gots a unicorn to corral and a demon ta
dominate." AJ gave a tip of the hat to Paper and nodded to her friends
as she walked inside the entrance beginning to track Dusk by his hoof
tracks and a little aerial support from Dash.

Dusk walked lightly through the entrance to the forest, shivering a
bit. "Alright, I-I should be by the opening grove of the Everfree
Forest! Now that I'm here I have to find the Elements and stop
Nightmare-Moon. But, first I have to find a way down off this cliff.
Who puts a cliff right at the start of a forest? Regardless, it's no
time for distraction," groaned Dusk, unaware he was being watched by a
pair of glowing slatted eyes from atop the tip of the cliff, a night
rune appearing in the eyes of the mysterious creature.
It let out a mighty roar which caused entire area to shake. Dusk lost
his footing and started sliding down the mountainous area. "Whoa!
What's happening?!" Screamed Dusk, as he grabbed hold of a ledge, his
undertrained and frail body unable to lift himself up as his back legs
dangled over the deep ravine. "If-if I fall I'm dead, and with all
this shaking I can't concentrate to teleport...this is how I'm going
to die? NOT FAIR!" He hollered at the top of his lungs, echoing
throughout the forest, the cliff slipping from his hold. It slowly
slipped, bit by bit from his grasp.
"Hold on! I'm a-comin'!" Cried out a brave southern drawl. A pair of
orange covered hooves shot out to him, his own hooves tightly gripped
in them. "I gotcha pretty boy."
"Applejack!" he screamed in panic. "What-what do I do?"
The mighty ground shaking roar returned as a giant Cragadile leapt
from atop the cliff wall, sliding down the rocky slope with its jaw
open and ready to devour the duo.
AJ closed her eyes, focusing and smirking. "Let go, just let go."
"What? Buck no that would kill me! Are you crazy, you country bumpkin?
I'm not a pegasi!" Dusk Whimpered, afraid of his imminent death,
knowing if she held onto him they would both die, but if he let go
then just he would die. How could he make such a choice?
"Ah'm not gonna lie, th' situation looks none too good fer you. either
ya stay and we both get eaten or ya drop, but I promise you'll be
safe. What I'm sayin' to you is the honest truth. Let go, and we'll
both be safe. I'd never lie to ya, fancy-boy." she said, with the
purest and most trustworthy looking in her shimmering emerald eyes
that Dusk Shine had ever seen. The two looked at each other, as if
peering into the others hearts.
"Those eyes… those beautiful eyes," he whispered, and released his
grip, sudden calmness overtaking his body. Maybe this was the right
choice, the truly heroic choice and the destiny always sought?
"I guess this is the end...wait one sec...WHAT IN FAUST AM I
DOING!?"Dusk broke the tender moment's silence with a high pitched
scream. "I'm gonna die for a mare I just met! Ahhhhhhhh!" Suddenly he
stopped, but obviously not on the ground. His eyes shot open. "Oh my
gosh! I'm alive; I'm actually alive, somehow! Dash, she-she and
Fluttershy caught me and now they're holding me…I can't believe it.
She must have known. I can't believe I actually doubted her." Dusk
smiled, sighing contently as the two pegasi gals gently putting him on
solid ground.
Just then Dusk realized AJ was still up there with the Cragadile. "Oh
no, Applejack! Girls, you have to get me back up there! I have to save
Applejack! She's just an earth pony, and she would need some serious
power to take down a magical monster like that!"
Rainbow Dash just chuckled, crossing her forelegs, finding some sort
of humor in what Dusk just said. "Kinda racist there dude. Then again,
guess you haven't seen to many earth ponies."
"Forget you then Dash! I'll just go up there myself." Dusk closed his
eyes and focused himself, linking to the mana inside him and around
the area, vanishing once more and appearing atop the cliff from
before.
"Applejack! I came here to save you!" Said Dusk dramatically like a
hero from one of his fantasy books he loved to read picturing AJ as
some damsel in distress.
"No need Sugarcube. Charge mana, here we go." The cragadile came down
on AJ, who suddenly seemed to vanish in a flash of Orange light. the
monster crashed down where she once stood. AJ was above the beast and
came down with a thunderous hoof drop, jumping off the monster's head,
then swung a mighty spin kick with her back left leg. "Yeehaw! Say hey
to Bucky McGilacutty, ya handbag!" Craig A. Dile, as large as he was,
oddly found himself sent flying across the ravine and into another
mountain, shooting so far it practically became a star.
"Apple family Brawl'N'Buck, Apple smash, and deliver." She tipped her
hat and spit, landing gracefully on the ground on her back legs, soon
dropping back to all fours.
Dusk's eyes had become like plates and his jaw had dropped at this
display. "She-she is a monster! What is she, Marecules?" gulped the
frail bodied unicorn stallion. never in his whole life had he seen a
display of strength like that in Canterlot, the unicorn capital of
Equestria.
AJ looked to the sky, seeing Dash hovering there in the air and giving
an approving nod and a sly smirk. She took AJ down to the others while
Dusk teleported back to the mares.

The group walked in a silence that quickly went way past awkward. Dusk
knew he had to say something.
"Um… back there at the cliff," he tried to explain not used to giving
thanks to others for a rescue.
"Yeah, what?" Asked AJ, a curious look crossing on her freckled orange face.
"I just want to tell you, that was kind of a heat-of-the-moment,
thinking-I-was-totally-gonna-die thing, and well…being all raised all
chivalrously." His face was red and flush with huge amounts of
embarrassment. "I want to tell you that I don't think of you that way,
okay? I know you're not a bumpkin and you're not some damsel to be
saved. And well, I-I'm sorry if saying you had pretty eyes made things
weird because I didn't mean it your-your just like one of the guys to
me a real strong mare, heck your more like a stallion and I promise
not to let my past prejudice get between us okay?"
"Sure, partner ah understand perfectly whatcha trying ta say." AJ's
hat was now covering her eyes as her trot slowed a bit
"Oh, that's good. I'm not exactly good at getting across my point to
mares, guess they usually are on the same wavelength as me, like I
said one of the guys," he explained, letting out a very relieved
breath he had been holding. "I was worried you might take it the
wrong-" And that's when Dusk Shine found out that Applejack could buck
harder than Rainbow Dash without charging up, something he wished he
had seen coming.
Dusk nursed his black eye while he and friends walked down a narrow
passageway, never saying a word. Sure, everyone saw the farmer kick
him in the face, but none of them, not even Rainbow Dash, had the
nerve to ask Applejack the reason why.

"And once Pinkie and Rarity were saved, whoosh... Me and Fluttershy
loop-de-loop around and WHAM! Caught you right in the nick of time,
totally saving your flank! The, like a dumbo, you went and tried to
show off when everypony knows that's my job." Dash's patented
Bragtastic Dashism had broken the silence for a while.
"Yes, Yes, Rainbow, I was there, and I'm very grateful, but we got to
stay on topic here. So, none of you have been in here before?"
"Ugh, Heavens no! Just look at it - it's dreadful and it isn't natural
at all. They all say it does not work the same as Equestria." Chimed
in Rarity, puffing up her mane a bit which had got a bit flash. "I
wish I had brought some hairspray or perhaps a giant hat. Yes, I have
the perfect camouflage print sunhat at home."
"Not what I was asking Rarity." Dusk rolled his eyes looking to the
others. "this is the creepiest place I've ever laid eyes on. But I'm
just wondering, what precisely make these woods so unnatural? Why do
the animals eat each other here? Why do the clouds move all on their
own accord?"
"Nopony knows," teased Dash, with a spooky and playful tone "You know
why? Because anypony that's came in here has… never…. come… OUT!" She
grinned wide and evilly at the last part.
"Well that's absurd. the high mana concentration, the magical
creatures as well as the weather… I must investigate this further,
once I have the chance," huffed Dusk, unafraid of Rainbow's tale,
which caused her to pout a bit.

While the Ponies walked, Dash once again telling her story of how she
had single hoofedly saved Dusk, a mighty roar like a lions echoed out.
"A Manticore!" Cried Dusk stopped dead in his tracks.
The monster peered at them with one turquoise and one golden eye, the
turquoise glowing, energy oozing out of its odd eye as it skulked
around them, its mouth showing its mighty fangs.
"We've gotta get past him!" ordered Dusk, who took point.
oddly Rarity pushed him aside, taking a pose. "Can't let Applejack be
the only pony to show her stuff, now can I, my dear sir Dusk?" smiled
the fashionista, as the Manticore lunged. Rarity stepped back and let
loose a powerful Crane kick to the beast's head, knocking him back.
The Manticore rose, cracking its neck and let out a mightier roar that
blew Rarity back and flattened her hair, which caused her to scream,
twirl around, and faint on top of Dusk. The beast, Manny Roar, was
about to slash Rarity in half; however a heavy weight jumped on his
head, riding him rodeo style.
"Yeehaw! Giddyup der, yea little doggie." She took off her Stetson,
shaking it in the wind as Manny tried to buck her off repeatedly,
bouncing away from Rarity and Dusk. Soon enough AJ was sent flying
falling into a bush which tangled her up. "Aw Ponyfeathers! I-I can't
move!"
The monster was suddenly encircled by Rainbow Dash, spinning around it
at high speeds and creating a mini-rainbow tornado, which made the
beast dizzy. "I got this! Time for me to do what I do best. Show off
DASH style!" Dash's tactic proved even less effective as the beast
roared out loud, swiping both its clawed paws and scorpion tail. Dash,
unable to dodge all, was sent flying into a tree hitting her head and
getting herself all dizzy, falling flat on the ground.
All of them were out of commission except for Pinkie and Fluttershy
Pinkie only frantically running in circles screaming, "RUN FOR YOUR
LIVES!" Fluttershy walked in front of Dusk to try and protect him and
Rarity. The small mare, which seemed afraid of her own shadow, seemed
totally unfazed by any of this.
"I kept telling you all to wait, but-but you just wouldn't listen,"
she looked up at the monster, pouncing down on her with her big cute
exposed eye. Everyone awoke, screaming in terror at the horrid scene
of carnage about to unfold. Dusk screamed out, "FLUTTERSHY RUN, RUN
YOU BEAUTIFUL BUT MAD MARE!"
"Shhh... It's okay. Oh, you poor, poor little baby," cooed Fluttershy,
in sweet baby talk. Manny stopped in his tracks, totally confused, as
Fluttershy began to pet him on the head. "You're just a fuzzy little
kitty aren't you, aren't you? I think I know what you need. This will
hurt for just a second." She reached out for its clawed paw, pulling
out an evil dark thorn. The left eye returned to normal, as she tossed
the offending thorn away.
"Aw, you're just a cute ol' baby kitty, aren't you? Yes you are, yes
you are," Fluttershy had it on its back, purring as she rubbed its
belly. Everyone was in shock now, having not seen this coming.
The Manticore had been licking Fluttershy lovingly as everyone
regained themselves. Dusk had finally had the time to get Rarity off
of him walked over to Fluttershy, rather surprised at her actions.
"How did you know about the thorn?"
"I didn't totally, I just had a hunch and I thought I saw an extra
claw while he was fighting, so I took a chance. Sometimes, we all just
need to be shown a little kindness." Shy smiled sweetly to Dusk,
causing him to become all red in the face once more, now more in love
with her than ever. The Manticore set Shy down and the party move
forward.
Juno looked upon the part from an ancient looking telescope atop the
decayed castle of the royal sisters only the throne room having been
rebuilt by this point. "I must inform the empress! Craig and Manny
have failed. We must be wary."
