With all her friends gathered around, Twilight Sparkle began to fix Starswirls spell... "A mark of one's destiny, singled out alone, fulfilled... Wait a second, that's it! I understand now! I know how to fix the spell" She began to add her own verse to it: "From all of us together, together we're friends. With the marks of our destinies made one, there is magic without end!"
...in many universes, this would be the moment that Twilight goes from student to princess, achieving the next step on her grand journey...this was not that universe.
For at the moment Twilight intoned the last bit of the spell... "Witttth...thhhe...maaaarks...
Twilight and time itself slowed to a crawl...none saw the intruder enter the room...a dark, tall, slender man with no face and impeccable business attire. He peeked over Twilight's shoulder and tsked.
"My, my...it's true...read the wrong way...this spell COULD be interpreted as several ponies power enslaved to one to help that ONE succeed." He turned to the unsuspecting ponies...still frozen in time...and chuckled.
"Well...will just have to fix that, won't we?" He rolls up his sleeves and gets to work 'fixing' the spell.
"Let's see...a pinch of Cerberus Retcon...a dash of Darker and edgier...and what the hey? Drown it down with some cosmic retcon as well!"
His deed done, he turned invisible and silently observed as time speed up again-
...ooofff...ouur...destinies made one, there is magic without end!" Finishes Twilight without missing a beat! The spell glowed...and EXPLODED! Enveloping the six of them and destroying the library!
...
Celestia was giddy! She couldn't wait for her star pupil to appear in the astral plane! She had a whole song prepared! She was so proud of her!
FLASH!
"Ah, that must be her now!" Celestia smiles as she trots toward the noise. "Congratulations, Twilight. I knew you could- Who are you?!"
The human called Jack Harper simply looked around baffled, his oddly colored eyes danced in these strange new surroundings. "Well...this is new." He said finally...
Celestia knew then and there...that her plan had gone terribly wrong...
...
Twilight groaned as she woke up ...her friends scattered about amongst flaming debris, "Girls?" Asked Twilight groggily, then her eyes went wide...her tree...her library...her home...was ablaze...
Rainbow Dash...woke up next...and saw Twilight cry. "Twilight...what's- "My tree." Stated Twilight mournfully. "Wha?" "LOOK WHAT YOU DID TO MY TREE!" She shouted horrified.
Fortunately, Twilight quickly remembered what happened, and apologized to the girls for blaming them...they then comforted their sobbing friend.
Many residents walked over to see what all the commotion was about...in the dark of the night, they could tell the library was up in flames...but who was next to it...it almost looked like
"Princess Celestia?!" Twilight wiped away the tears and looked toward the pony who addressed her, "What? No, I'm Twilight Sparkle. Why would-
And then she sees everyone pointing at them...more importantly...they see WHERE their pointing...she had-
"WINGS!? I HAVE WINGS!?" Shouted Twilight in shock. Rainbow's eye's went wide, "Awesome! I get a new flying buddy!" She shouts as she reaches back to grab a camera from her pack-
"Ow! Watch where your leaning Rainbow! You nearly poked out my eye with your...horn?" Applejack trailed off as what she said hit home... A shocked Rainbow touched her forehead...and indeed found a horn!
"Whoa...non way!" She shouted.
Having enough of this stupid dark obscuring her vision, Twilight ignited her horn...revealing to Ponyville SIX new Alicorns...so naturally pandemonium ensued...
Pinkie screaming, "Alicorn party' didn't help either...
...
It took awhile to calm the residents and themselves down, but they- barely -managed to do that...just in time for an armed Pegasus escort to come down and escort them back to Canterlot. They were then asked to wait for the princess as she handled an urgent matter...
The Mane six were a bit overwhelmed...but Twilight's reassurances that Celestia would explain everything did wonders to clam everyone down. While they waited, twilight pulled out the latest book in her favorite series out-
"Oh, hey Twilight. You reading more Daring Do?" Asked Applejack.
Twilight smirked, but shook her head. "Nope, it's actually a new series I just got into, 'The Adventures of Stanford Pines'." She hugs the book affectionately, "it REALLY speaks to me...I think I've found my newest favorite book series!"
Rainbow rolled his eyes, "I've read that series...it's okay...for an egghead." She teased
Twilight glared, "Oh, do let me guess. Too much focusing on the rich academia side of archeology and puzzle solving and not enough gratuitous fight scenes?" She asked scathingly.
Rainbow shrugged, "Pretty much- But don't get me wrong, it has it's good points." She said quickly, seeing her friend get annoyed. "The fight scenes- although few and in between -are AWESOME and have easily made it into my top 10 fights. And the main villain- Bill Cipher? He's my favorite Villian hands down. Yeah, he's evil- but he dose it with such style you can't help but love him! Not to mention he's scarily competent and could run circles around those chumps Dr. Caballeron and Ahuizotl...if it weren't for the hero being a boring egghead, I'd definitely make it my new favorite."
Fortunately, before Twilight could fly into a tirade defending her favorite character-
"The princess will see you now!" Announced a guard! Silently Resolving to finish this 'discussion' later...Twilight and her friends walked out of the room...and into the throne room...
Their they found Celestia and Luna pawing over a strange device...and they did NOT look happy.
"Uh...Princess Celestia?" Asked Twilight. Celestia and Luna quickly went to attention as they saw who entered the room.
"Twilight! Girls! It's so wonderful to see you!" Shouts Celestia as she flew over to them and nuzzled them affectionately.
"Princess...I'm...I'm an alicorn! We all are!" Exclaims Twilight in disbelief.
Celestia smiles and nods..."Indeed you are...a most pleasant surprise indeed..." She then sighs, "If only all the news was so good..."
"Princess Celestia? What's wrong?" Asked Twilight concerned.
Celestia sighed, "I won't lie to you Twilight...this was a test, that you were supposed to pass and you alone was supposed to become an alicorn...for all your friends to become alicorns as well...I suspect interference from an outside force...and I fear they had less then altruistic motivations for doing so."
Twilight and her friends were floored by this...but before they ask more questions-
Celestia held up her hoof, "Please save your questions for that later, right now...we have another...'situation' that must be seen to. And must be seen to immediately."
"Situation? What do you mean?" Asks Twilight.
Celestia's horn glowed and a nearby mirror's surface warped and changed to show an image...an image of a strange hairless ape with oddly mismatched eyes waiting patiently in the palace dungeon...
The newly anointed princesses simply looked stunned, "What...what is he?" Asked Twilight confused.
"That...is a human." Stated Celestia sadly. Applejack's eye's widened, "A human? Like that loco Lyra keeps mooning over?" She asks.
"It would seem that in this case, the 'crazies' were right...humans DID exist. They existed BEFORE us...and now this one is all that's left."
Pinkie was naturally excited, "OH BOY! I'm going to have to dig into my party reserves! like REALLY, REALLY, REALLY dig deep! I'll need everything i can get my hands on to throw the biggest, 'Welcome back, glad your not extinct' party and-
"There's not going to be a party." Interpreted Celestia flatly, "This man has willingly turned himself in and confessed all his crimes, and waits to be judged."
Everyone looked at Celestia shocked... "Wha...what are his crimes?" Asked Twilight with confused dread...
Celestia stared down at the 'lap top' that the human had given her... "He murdered his entire species...to create us ponies..."
...
TO BE CONTINUED?
AN: I know it says "in-progress" but really I just don't like boxing myself into a corner. For now this is more of a one-shot that I might continue one day...but probably won't.
But, hey. Feel free to use whatever elements you want from this, if you want! Or maybe give me ideas?
Love me, flame me, review me
