Chapter 12

Canterlot High

It was bright and warm morning at Canterlot high school and the buses had come to deliver their students for another day of school, as the buses emptied, on one bus, a certain red and orange haired girl wearing a leather jacket, had blue eyes, a multicolored t shirt, a skirt and black boots with flames on the tips got off the bus and took in the fresh air as she prepared for another day of school."Hah...time for another awesome and cool day at school."she said as she began to walk up the stairs to enter the high school.

"Sunset Shimmer!"shouted a bunch of girls that looked a lot like Twilight's friends only they were human and they wore clothes, the girl now known as Sunset Shimmer turned to see the girls and smiled at them as she walked over to meet them.

"Hey girls, what's going on?"she said in a kind voice.

"Oh nothing, Rainbow here won another trophy at the last baseball game, Pinkie through an one heck of a party, Fluttershy got plenty of money to help the animal shelter, Rarity has a new outfit on, and my apples one first prize at the fair, same old same old."Apple Jack joked.

All the girls laughed together at the joke, as they all entered the school together."So Sunset, how about you darling, how has life been treating you lately?"Rarity asked.

"Oh...well, things have been alright I guess, people don't seem to hate me any more, I even think i have made a few friends in the process."Sunset said nervously.

"Well that's just super duper amazing Sunset, ooh I forget what's our first period class?"Pinkie asked quickly.

"Um...I think its algebra Pinkie."Fluttershy quietly said.

"And after that its gym class!"Rainbow Dash exclaimed as she jumped in the air.

"Oh...okay see you girls there."Pinkie said as she sped off to class.

They all laughed at Pinkie as they all walked to class, suddenly they heard the announcements."Attention students, remember that the spring formal is schedule for this Saturday evening, so you better hurry and find that special someone for the dance."a voice that sounded like Celestia said on the announcements.

"Ooh, is anyone going to go to the spring formal, I sure am."Rarity said with excitement.

"Count me in, me and Soarin are going to rock the dance floor!"Rainbow said in an excited tone.

"Yep, should be one heck of a dance."Apple Jack added.

"Well...I don't know, I can't really find any one who would want me as their date."Sunset replied solemnly.

"Aww don't worry sugar cube, I am sure you'll meet a nice fella that won't see you as an enemy that tried to take over our world and some other world, but a beautiful, honest and smart lady, I'm sure of it."Apple Jack reassured.

"Thanks, I guess."Sunset replied as her and her friends went into their first period class.

A few hours later the girls were in their lunch period eating fruit salads and talking peacefully about the upcoming dance, suddenly, Sunset Shimmer noticed that there was someone missing from the group."Hey, where's Pinkie Pie?"she asked as she looked around and didn't see her any where.

Her friends looked at each other and pointed at the window to their left, Sunset got up and looked out the window and saw Pinkie sitting outside by the Canterlot high statue looking as if she was waiting for someone."Ever since Twilight Sparkle left, she sometimes goes out there during her free time and waits there hoping for Twilight to return, she really misses her."Rainbow Dash explain as her and the others lowered their heads in a bit of sadness.

"I do miss Twilight, she was an amazing friend."Fluttershy said quietly.

"Yeah, and she was the coolest person I have ever met, even if she was a pony."Rainbow Dash added.

"Don't worry girls, I miss her too, but maybe one day she will return, hopefully."Sunset replied as she walked back to the table to finish lunch.

"Yes, but I do not know how long we can watch Pinkie do this to herself every day."Rarity said quietly.

Meanwhile outside of Canterlot high, Pinkie sat in the dirt and was waiting patiently at the statue for Twilight to come out of the portal into their world again. She realized it was lunch time and pulled her purse out, she took a sandwich out of it and began to enjoy lunch, but she still didn't move or take her eyes off th statue. Suddenly her concentration was interrupted by three girls that looked just like Apple Bloom, Scootaloo and Sweetie Belle."Hey Pinkie Pie, what are you doing out here by yourself?"Apple Bloom asked.

Pinkie turned and smiled."Oh um, I'm just sitting here waiting, eating lunch."Pinkie answered.

"Don't tell me your waiting for Twilight Sparkle again? you know there is little chance we will see her again."Scootaloo said.

"Scootaloo!"Sweetie Belle and Apple bloom yelled.

"No, its all right girls, you may think that, but i believe we will see her again, and I wanna be here to greet her the minute she comes back."Pinkie stated as she finished her sandwich and stared right back at the statue.

"Well...okay then, you just take care of yourself then."apple Bloom responded as her and her friends went inside the school, leaving Pinkie to wait at the statue again.

Pinkie took out a bottle of soda and began to drink it, she also looked at the clock and saw that lunch period was over, she sighed and frowned as she packed up and went to go back inside. Suddenly she felt the wind pick up and chills began to run down her spine, she slowly turned back to the statue and to her surprise she saw sparkles light up the statue, she lit up with happiness but remained calm as she walked towards the statue. Upon approaching the statue, she strangely felt cold and scared, but she continued on and came to one side of the statue, and then she saw it. The on side of the mirror began to glow and become wavy, which to them meant one thing, someone or something was coming through the portal."Twilight Sparkle? Is that you?"Pinkie asked in a hopeful tone, but little did she know that what was coming out of the portal...was definitely not Twilight.

Back inside the Canterlot high hall ways, Sunset Shimmer walked to class alone, she still had the spring formal dance on her mind and as she looked around at all the boys she could ask out, she didn't see a woman that looked like princess Luna with a pink shirt, blue pants and light blue heels coming and she suddenly slammed into her knocking papers from the woman's hands."Vice principle Luna! I'm so sorry about that, I wasn't looking where i was going."Sunset frantically said as she helped pick up the fallen papers.

The woman sighed and smiled as she knelt down to pick up her papers."That is quite alright Sunset Shimmer, these things happen, plus i could tell you have a lot on your mind, do you not?"the vice principle questioned.

"Well...yeah, I can't seem to find anyone to take to the spring formal, It's been really hard since...you know...back when i was...not good."Sunset honestly explain.

As they finish picking up the papers, the vice principle placed them in her right arm and smiled."Do not worry Sunset, that stuff is in the past now, I'm sure some lucky fella will ask you out, you just have to be patient."Luna said.

"I hope so, thanks anyway vice principle Luna."Sunset thanked solemnly.

"Any time Sunset, hey how about you help me take these papers to the principle and maybe I'll help you with your little problem?"Luna suggested.

"Sure."Sunset replied as she picked the rest of the papers. They both took a small walk down the hall way and came to a door that read,"The Principle's Office". They entered carefully and as they entered they saw a woman who looked a bit like Celestia who wore a light yellow jacket purple pants and yellow heels standing by the window smiling as she stared outside at the sunny day the were having.

"Tia, I have those papers for the Spring formal filled out and Sunset Shimmer was nice enough to help me carry them all to you."Luna said as she plopped the massive thing of papers on the woman's desk.

The woman turned around, now snapped out of her thoughts and smiled."Well done Luna and thank you for your help Sunset Shimmer, thanks to you, we now have all the paper work filled out and our Spring formal can go on without a hitch."She explained as she sat at her desk and began sorting out the papers.

"No problem principle Celestia,"Sunset said.

"So Sunset, have you found out who is going to be taking you to the dance?"the principle asked.

"Not really, none of the boys seem interested in me at all, and I blew my chances with Flash Sentry long ago, I just can't seem to find the right guy."Sunset said quietly as she rubbed her arm in embarrassment.

"But don't worry, I promised her that I would help her with her problem when we were finished here."Luna reassured.

"Well now, Luna? I didn't know you could care about something like that?"Celestia said.

"Sister? you remember what it was like when we were young, neither one of us could ever find dates for the dance and we ended up both having to dance with our dad, you remember how embarrassing that was? Now I refuse to see another student without a date while I'm around."Luna stated proudly.

Sunset and the two sisters shared a laugh together at Luna's statement, as they finally calmed down from their fun, Sunset and Luna were about to leave when suddenly. A blood curdling scream rung out and alerted them as well as the entire high school, the scream sent chills down their spines as Sunset as well as the principle and vice principle raced out of the office. They ran down the hallways and followed a small crowd that grew larger as they made it out the front door, as they made their way through the crowd, Sunset saw all her friends except Pinkie standing out of the crowd, looking at a scary sight with fear as well as anger and the urge to fight. Sunset looked around to find what her friends were looking at and finally she saw it, Pinkie Pie was crying while being held by her neck by a mysterious dark man wearing a large concealing overcoat, he had black bat like wings on his back, as well as red eyes and messy hair, what was really scary was that he had long black claws on his finger tips,and sharp teeth. As he held Pinkie's throat in one hand, the principle and vice principle got through the crowd and slowly approached the evil looking man.

"Unless you want us to call the police, I suggest you release her immediately!"shouted Luna.

"This is your only warning! put our student down now!"Celestia added.

The man closed his eyes and chuckled at the women with amusement, he then opened them and turned to the two sisters and showed off his demonic red eyes as he glared at them, sending fear through their bodies."You strange creatures are certainly amusing, but your also annoying...go away,"he said as he smiled darkly and with a wave of his free hand, he magically lifted both ladies into the air and threw them away into a fountain, he then turned to the magic he performed with a bit of a surprised look."I can do magic now, nice."

As everybody else began to panic, Sunset made the realization that she was dealing with a creature of Equestria, but not just any creature."Your a Gryphon! right?!"she yelled out.

Everybody gasped while the man just chuckled at her."Why...yes i am, and there is only one reason you would know that, you are from Equestria too, am I right?"he asked back.

"Yes...my name is Sunset Shimmer and you are?"Sunset asked.

"Going to kill you and conquer this world in the name of my master Dark Star, but first I have gotten hungry since my travel to this world and this girl is looking very tasty."he retorted as he licked his lips and showed off his dagger like teeth, making Pinkie scream in fear again.

"Not if we have anything to say about it."Rainbow Dash said as her and the others prepare for a fight.

"NO girls! this guy is out of your league, I'll handle him."Sunset said as she then began to walk towards the guy.

"But Sunset, you saw what he just did, we can't let you take him on by yourself."Rarity said fearfully.

Sunset ignored the warning and walked closer to the man, she then rose her hand and to everyone's surprise began to use her magic, her hand turned green and in a wave of her hand she made Pinkie disappear from the Gryphons grip and made her appear right in the hands of her friends. As they tended to Pinkie, Sunset glared at the enemy and prepared for a fight."Now that my friend is out of harms way, we can get to business."she said with a growl.

"Indeed we shall, but tell me, how did you manage to use magic in this world, I thought only dark magic would work here."he asked.

"Simple, when you accept friendship in your heart...anything is possible."Sunset said as she then began to charge at the enemy.

(Killing Loneliness, HIM, song)

"Then i will have to break this friendship apart, by breaking you apart, piece by piece,"he said as he got into a fighting stance. Sunset charged with both hands in fists and glowing brightly green, she began to throw punches at the man, he smiled and blocked the seemingly vicious punches with ease. She then tried to round house kick him, but he smirked as he back flipped away and kicked her in the chin as he flipped. Sunset was thrown back by the kick and landed on her back hard, she got up quickly and blasted a beam of magic at the Gryphon man, he in return took a deep breath and suddenly blasted a large stream of green fire from his mouth and as the magic and flames made contact, they instantly exploded, sending sparks of flame and magic everywhere. The students panicked and ran for cover while the girls just stood there in fear for their friend, Sunset Shimmer manage to hold her ground while the enemy just stood there virtually unharmed, he began chuckling at her as she began to charge again. This time the Gryphon dodged and grabbed Sunset's arm, he grinned as he rose her high in the air and sent a jolt of red electricity through her body, she screamed in pain, while he just laughed at her pain, finally he stopped the electricity and threw her against the statue. She breathed heavily as she got up slowly, she then threw her jacket off and got serious as she poured magic into her right fist and punched the ground causing the ground to shift up and threw the gryphon man into the air."What the...!"

"Let me show you the power of friendship you monster!"she yelled as she jumped into the air.

"Get him Sunset Shimmer!"her friends cheered.

Sunset was now airborne and met face to face with the enemy in the air and manage to punch him in the face sending him plummeting towards the ground, as he slowly began to regain his balance in the air, she descended towards the enemy and grabbed him and put him in a pile driver move. She then looked to the ground and glowed bright green, they then began to speed up as she spun the guy in her arms, and as they descended from the sky, she glowed brighter and looked like a shooting star. Finally she made contact with the ground and pulled off a brutal pile driver, as her and the gryphon slammed, the ground beneath them exploded and collapsed in an explosion of dust. As the dust began to clear, Sunset manage to crawl out of the crater she had now formed with the pile driver move and finally get up, her shirt was torn up and she had many bruises and scratches all over her body, her friends rushed to her side to assess her injuries and were shock and scared to see her so badly beaten, but to her, the injuries were worth it to stop the enemy.

(End of song)

"Sunset! are you okay."Rainbow asked worriedly as she helped keep Sunset on her feet.

"Yeah...I'm...fine,"she panted showing that she was exhausted.

"Thanks for saving me Sunset, your a true friend."Pinkie said in a happy and serious voice.

"Don't mention it Pinkie, what about the principle and vice principle? Are they okay?"she asked.

"Yes Sunset, we are fine, just a little soaked from the dip in the fountain."Principle Celestia said as her and Luna squeezed out some water in their hair and clothes and walked towards the girls still a little wet, but not injured."But you are hurt, we need to get you some medical attention immediately.

"Okay,"Sunset replied, suddenly she felt a dark and cold presence behind her and she immediately glared."Oh no."

"What is it sugar guard?"Apple Jack asked.

"He's not done yet."she said as she slowly turned towards the crater. They all turned to see none other than the dark servant smirking as he stood at the edge of the crater and chuckled excitedly.

"Well...I have to say Sunset, you definitely are a tenacious opponent, but you are still weak."he insulted as he suddenly speeded right into her face and chuckled before punching right in the face and once again slamming against the statue, he stared at the others with a dark and evil stare that kept them from moving to help her. He then turned to Sunset and began walking towards her, she struggled to get up, but her efforts were stopped by the servant who immediately got in her face and grabbed her by the throat with one hand and rose her in the air, she tried to fight, but she was to weaken from the battle to fight."Now then Sunset, your friends get to watch while you die, don't worry...their next." he said as he prepared his large claws in his other hand to end it. He then swung his claws and at that instant, Sunset closed her eyes and prepared for the end, but as he was about to kill her, a purple shield covered Sunset and blocked the attack completely. With his attack block, he then tried to swing again, but this time a blue beam of magic hit the servant and sent him flying right into the wall to the school, he slammed hard and formed a crater in the wall as he slid down and landed on the ground, while he held his gut in pain.

"What the...What was that?"Sunset said to herself. Suddenly two figures teleported in front of her and kicked up a bit of dust in the process, finally as the dust settled, Sunset and her friends as well as the principle and vice principle saw none other than Twilight Sparkle in her human form and wearing her original outfit she had when she first came to their world, accept she still had her wings. Sunset then turned to the man that stood next to her, he was pure white with ice blue hair that seemed to flow and move like fire, he wore a thick leather jacket, he had large white wings on his back, he was moderately built, he had a black t shirt, blue jeans with small chains sticking out of the pockets and leather boots, what really looked odd were the dark circles around his eyes and the scar down his right eye, she knows she has seen those dark eyes before. Both Twilight and the man had their arms cross as they stared down the dark servant as he finally got up, still gripping his gut in pain.

"Oh great, not you two again,"the dark one said in a groan.

"Twilight Sparkle!"everyone exclaimed.

"Oh... I knew she would come back! I knew it!"Pinkie said excitedly.

"Yeah! but who's the guy next to her?"Rainbow asked.

"I don't know, but he looks like he's on our side, and he sure looks tough."Apple Jack replied.

Twilight finally had enough silence and turned to the man next to her."So Heavy, how do you wanna do this?"she asked the guy who turned out to be Heavy Weight.

He then turned to Sunset Shimmer and saw how injured she was, he then turned to Twilight."Take Sunset back to her little friends and tend to her wounds, I got this."he said as he turned to the enemy and began to walk towards him.

"Are you sure?"Twilight questioned.

"Yeah I'm sure, just tend to Sunset, she needs you more than I do."Heavy stated.

Twilight nodded and picked up Sunset Shimmer and carried her in her arms, she then teleported right in front of their friends and laid her down so she could begin to magically heal Sunsets injuries."Twilight Sparkle!"the girls exclaimed once again.

Twilight looked up from Sunset and smiled."Hey girls, Its nice to see you all, and don't worry about Sunset, she's in good hands now."she reassured."And don't worry about that monster, Heavy Weight can handle him."

"Heavy Weight?"they all said in confusion.

Suddenly after a thought, Sunset rose from the ground in realization."Wait! that's Heavy Weight?!"she exclaimed, spooking Twilight and the others.

"Yes sunset, that's Heavy Weight over there, he can take that overgrown bird, now please lay down you are badly hurt."she said in a calm tone.

Sunset sighed and laid down to let Twilight finish healing her, in the mean time she focused completely on Heavy and the Dark servant, as did everyone else.

Heavy and the Dark servant stared each other down with hateful looks and determined faces to win, finally the servant made the first move, he lunged at Heavy with a right fist, but Heavy blocked the punch effortlessly with one hand, but not without the force of the punch sending a shock wave through the whole area, almost knocking everyone of balance. Heavy held the arm up and gritted his teeth as he jolted his hand and snapped the servants arm."RAAAAAAAAGH!"the servant screamed as he held his broken arm in pain, he then took a deep breath and blew fire at Heavy, in return, Heavy formed a shield to defend and at the same time he levitated two large rocks from the road's and moved them above the Gryphon, finally he stopped breathing fire to see that his attack did nothing against Heavy's shield. Suddenly he felt a small pebble hit his head and he looked up just in time to see the large pieces of road drop right on top of him with a big crash. Heavy then removed the rocks to see the servant now significantly injured and breathing Heavily. Heavy saw his chance and he charged at the servant full force, the servant decided to charge at Heavy in return, but it proves to be a big mistake, their fists were the first thing to collide and the force sent a shock wave around the entire area once again. He then kicked the servant in the face and grabbed the enemy by the leg and swung him around before throwing him into the wall of the school again, before he could even slide down, Heavy sped to him and punch the servant with an earth shattering punch. They both descended from the wall and upon landing, Heavy grabbed the enemy by the collar of his coat and prepared to end it in one more punch."Time to die."Heavy growled as he prepared to swing.

The Gryphon smirked."Not yet my friend."he responded as a red flash emanated from his eyes and blinded Heavy and everyone else, he then mustered all the strength he could and flew away somewhere deep into the town, as Heavy's sight came back, he looked around for his foe and realized that he escaped.

"No...NO!"Heavy shouted at the top of his lungs, now coming to terms with his failed attempt to end this quickly.

"Heavy Weight please calm down."Twilight gently called to him, making him turn to her."We will find that monster okay? For now, Just please come down here and meet my friends."

Heavy sighed as he slowly descended from his flight, he finally came to a landing and looked at all the girls and the ladies, they all reminded him of the princesses and their Ponyville friends, he then turned to Sunset Shimmer who looked at him with great surprise and shock."Hey Sunset, long time no see."he said.

sunset was a lost for words, she had no way to express what was going through her mind, all she could do is breath out, "Heavy Weight."
