In this universe, anthro ponies and other creatures not only live on earth but on the moon as well, as Queen Lunar rules the moon. She was beaten by Rainboom Flashing, known as Flash for short, who returned to her universe after saving the multiverse with the others. She saved the love of her life, Midnight Dusk, while her friends were saved by this universe, Princess Cadance, as she fought against Midnight's older brother. It's been 15 years since that time, and now on earth, we come to the largest dojo on earth. Could see millions of students, and the dojo was built into a large castle, where the owner lived. Inside the dojo, the students were all working hard to be the best or to just have fun.
Suddenly Discord pulled the camera from the view and to the recording booth. "Too bad, that's not their dojo. You really think an idiot like Flash can make something like that?" He laughs as he tosses the camera back to the universe, now hovering over a tiny dojo in ruin state with a RV next to it. The children students were all wearing different kinds of martial arts uniforms; some were just bathrobes given out to them and doing their training.
"Keep focus! This isn't a game!" said an older adult purple anthro mare, who was this universe Twilight, Midnight Dusk is her name, as she walked between the students, checking their forms and kicking their legs into position. She was wearing her own black uniform. "The battlefield isn't going to care if you're ready or not. Now, keep your forms. That's it."
She was smiling as she was proud of the work they were putting in, but stopped as a small dragon child raised her hand.
"Ms. Dusk, it's almost five o'clock; my mommy is going to pick me up. Can I go change? My uniform is getting dirty."
"Ah yes, your mother should be here soon, FireHeart." Midnight replied and looked at her with a cold stare, scaring the child a little. "But you can't get out of shape, so keep doing the drills."
"But...what about my..." cried the child, fearing what might happen if she wasn't out of her uniform when her mother shows up.
Midnight sigh, closing her eyes, knowing she was right. This child has a mother, and she shouldn't keep her waiting.
"Very well, class dismissed! Everyone hit the showers," said Midnight, turning away from them but hearing the students all saying her name. She smiled and faced them with a cold, dark glare, making all the students scared and quickly heading to the locker rooms. She watched them and turned to the door, opening the sliding door and walking out of the dojo and closing it. She touched her emotionless face. "Do I really look scary?"
"Oh, please, you look like a cute bunny!" said a strong female voice, making her turn to the small field of crops that was near the dojo. She could see her love; it was this universe, Rainbow Dash, Flash, wearing a blue jacket, a yellow shirt, blue pants, and yellow boots. She went back to puling carrots and other vegetables out of the dirt, as she was sweating.
"Flash... I told you, I'm not that cute." blushed Midnight with her cold stare, walking over to her.
"Aw, come on! You're so cute when you smile." Flash winked, pulled out another carrot, and tossed it in the basket before returning it to the ground. "Is the training done with the little warriors?"
"Don't call them that. They're just students. And yes, they're cleaning up and changing clothes." Midnight answered and looked over the garden, seeing how much food she grew. "You might be the stupidest mare in the world and the most powerful warrior ever." She looked over at the garden once more and sighed, "But you sure have a green thumb, that's for sure. You could grow food out of stone."
"Thanks! It's not too hard; you just have to water them." Flash answered, pulling out a few cucumbers and placing them into a second basket.
Midnight walked closer and stopped as she saw Flash standing up, wiping away the sweat from her face, opening her jacket, and flapping air on her chest. Midnight cheeks went pure red, and continued to walk over to her, and without saying a word, picked Flash up with one hand, put her on her shoulder, and headed to the RV.
"Midnight?" asked Flash, confused by what she was doing, but before she could ask more, Midnight opened the door and entered it as the door closed behind her. Soon it swung open, and she kicked out her mother and former queen of the moon, Lunar, and her aunt, who raised her like a daughter, Sunny Light, out of their asses along with their game they were playing.
"SWEETIE!?" cried Lunar as she crawled to the RV, but Midnight they gave her a pure dark stare, scaring her mother. "You do take after me..."
Midnight said nothing and shut the door and locked it. She lovingly set Flash on the small bed.
"What are we doing, Midnight?" asked Flash, still not understanding what's happening like a poor stupid child.
Midnight smiled; her cold, emotionless face was gone as she smiled with such a evil grin, and darkness surrounded her. Now Flash realized what was going on, making her sigh, as she was going to have a 'battle' with her loving wife.
"Oh..."
"Oh indeed." Midnight replied, looking at her with passion and lust as dark energy started to burst out of her.
As this was happening, the sisters returned to playing Connect four, as the game was now 3-3 and Sunny was winning this match. Sunny could see Lunar was sad—not because she was losing but because of what just happened.
"You know she loves you; stop acting like you think she hates your guts. She forgave you all those years ago. Why can't you forgive yourself?"
"I know, but I did so much damage and so many evil things. I almost killed her..." said Lunar, sadly, lowering her head. "And it took me being defeated by those two to see the truth." She drops her red piece and blocks Sunny's next move.
Sunny looked at her, and then at the game, "You could have won."
"I couldn't have won. Their love for each other and friendship were stronger than mine power and my dark heart."
Sunny shook her head and corrected herself, "No, you could have won just now in the game. You could have gotten a connect four, right-" Sunny dropped her piece, blocking her sister's move. "Here!"
Lunar didn't know what she was talking about and then looked at the game. Her eyes widen, seeing her sister was right. She faced the palm herself while the kids walked out of the dojo and waved goodbye to them, but suddenly the RV started to bounce up and down, releasing powerful energy.
A small anthro rhino child, who was new to the dojo, asked what was going on in there, making an older anthro dog girl say, "Teacher is training with her wife! I WANT TO BE LIKE THAT! ALL POWERFUL!"
All the kids started to talk about being that strong as they left the school and headed home or had their parents pick them up. Sunny and Lunar were glad these kids were too pure to not understand what was happening in there, making them chuckle.
Sunny was about to speak but stopped and looked down at the game, seeing that the pieces were shaking. The board started to shake, and the RV was rocking.
"SIS!" screamed Sunny, taking cover.
Lunar grabbed the game board and dunk on the ground, and both watched as a rainbow beam blasted from the roof of the RV and slowly faded away. They stood up and sighed.
"You should have really taught her better to control her magical energy when she's under pressure, big sister." Lunar said, brushing the dust off her body and the board game. Soon, both sisters were playing their match again.
"Flash is hard to teach, you know that. Besides, I taught her how to fight, not that 'fight'." she blushed. "In the bedroom."
Lunar smirk "Well, of course, you are still a virgin!" she teases as she drops her piece.
Sunny dropped her piece. "Am not! I had sex! Plenty of times with...someone." she blushed.
Lunar smirked, "Who? Give me a name." She dropped her piece and watched as her sister was blushing and trying to think up a name. "HA! Still a virgin! The only thing I beat you in."
Sunny gasps and drops her piece. "Having sex isn't a competition, Lunar. Sex is a bonding experience when two people or more can join together."
"Don't try to sound all-wise when talking about sex. Makes you more sad! And more? Stop watching those films, sister." smirked Lunar, dropping her last piece and winning the match. "Ha, I win again."
Sunny flinched, got closer to the board, narrowed her eyes, and saw that she had indeed lost. Without saying a word, she blasted the board game with a golden ray from her hands, and the pieces and board were burned to ash.
Lunar gasped, seeing her favorite board game destroyed, and Sunny was smirking at her.
"Best out of three, sis!" said Sunny, standing up and pounding fists together.
Lunar got up as well, kicking the air. "You're on!"
Both charged at each other, but they quickly saw a blue phonebooth just pop into existence. Smacking into it and sliding down the glass. Within the booth, Amazement screamed as she saw Lunar's face press against the glass. Soon, the doors opened, and everyone spilled out.
"My back!" screamed Aaira in pain as she held her lower back.
"Mine too!" screamed Heat, rubbing her shoulders.
Bolt shakes her body and touches her messy tail. "Man, my poor tail..."
Lil Star rolled across the ground and started to float as she shook herself. "I need a bath. I smell like..." she said, looking at Discord, who was walking out of the booth, smiling. "Whatever you are! I'm not a chair!"
Discord snapped his fingers and dressed Lil Star as a gamer chair and sat on her. "I dunno, you are very comfortable. Maybe I should keep you forever."
Lil Star gasped, as she was now being used as a chair again, and tried to get out of it, but it was no use; he had her trapped in a form that she couldn't get out of. She started to cry for Aaira, who took notice, along with the others. Everyone was fighting with Discord while the two sisters stood up and looked at the weird group of characters. They wanted to ask them questions, but the RV window opened and a dark mist steamed out, making everyone turn to it.
"Oh, she's mad now..." whimpered Lunar and Sunny as they hid behind the phonebooth.
Two dark purple glowing eyes appeared and shouted at the gang, "SHUT UP! I'M CUDDLING WITH MY LOVE! I DONT CARE WHO YOU ARE, BUT KEEP IT DOWN!"
Everyone could feel the energy coming from this "thing" and ready for battle, but Discord lean back in the chair, causing poor Lil Star to cry again.
"YOU WANT TO FIGHT!? ALRIGHT! I'LL BEAT YOUR AS-" the mist vanished, revealing Midnight blushing and silvering as Flash kissed her bare neck. "Sweetie!"
Flash smile, wrapping her arms around Midnight, kissing her again but froze as she saw the group.
"Bolt? Heat? Lii Star? Aaira!?" She jumped out of the window, butt naked, and ran up to her friends and hugged them all, tossing Discord off Lil Star. "I MISS YOU GIRLS!"
"Flash! Your naked!" scream Midnight, hurrying out in a robe and holding a blanket, wrapping her wife up. "What the hell is going on here!? Who are you people?"
Everyone looked at her and then the others, who were confused about what's going on, not knowing what the hell just happened. Flash let them go, and I was wondering why Lil Star was a gaming chair.
Aaira and Heat looked at Midnight, who suddenly realized who they were.
"You are the people who Flash teamed up with 15 years ago? Aren't you?" asks Midnight, walking up to them, to the different versions of herself and looking at the version who looks like Flash.
Aaira nodded her head as she looked her over, seeing that she looked like Layla if she was much older but well trained in combat. "I take it you are Midnight, right? Flash told us about you. Happy to meet you."
"Yes, it's wonderful to see you at long last. It seems Flash did indeed save you." Heat bows at Midnight, who bows back.
"This is..."
"Weird?" said Heat and Aaira at the same time.
"Yes." answered Midnight, who started to laugh with Heat and Aaira.
Meanwhile, Flash got a high five from Bolt.
"Long time no see, Flash. Man, you look really good! You grew up a lot," said Bolt, winking at her, which caused Flash to blush and rub her arm.
"Yeah, well, I have been working out a lot." said Flash, blushing.
"So..." asked Bolt, flying next to her head and whispering to her, making Flash tilt her head to her. "So that's Midnight, huh? I see you found your drive and fighting spirit in love." Bolt eye brows wiggle, teasing her with the pun, but she was surprised to hear Midnight laughing at the pun. "What?"
Midnight turned to her with the same cold look. "I'm trained to listen very well. Very shit pun, by the way." smirked Midnight, scaring Bolt.
"Glad Heat isn't like that..." thought Bolt, slowly hiding behind her friend, who was just smiling like an idiot.
"By the way, who are the others over there? They look like my universe friends." asked Flash, finally noticing the others, who were talking to her master and mother-in-law.
Bolt flew in front of her. "Right! Listen, the twins are in trouble! Some crazy human is after them and wants to kill them and restart the multiverse. They need us again. Are yo-" Bolt was stunned as she could see how mad Flash looked, and energy started to pour out of her.
"Let's go!" she said in a very powerful tone.
Bolt and everyone watched as Flash went into the phone booth and stood there as her blanket fell off, causing everyone to look away, while Midnight rushed to her and told her to get dressed first and to eat before leaving.
Everyone was in or outside of the RV as Midnight was cooking everyone some food, while Heat and Aaira were helping her. She was amazed at how Heat wasn't getting burned as she touched the hot pot of boiling water.
Lil Star was in the tub and enjoying the bath like she wanted, while Flash, who was dressed now, was sitting in the RV entrance steps.
"So, it's been different years in your universes? That's explains a lot." said Flash, looking at Bolt, who really didn't change much, but looking at Aaira, who clearly aged a bit, it was true. "It's been 15 years since that day. I never stop thinking about you guys. I miss you!"
Bolt was on the roof of the RV with Discord as they were sunbathing. "Miss you too, Flash. Glad things work out in your universe."
Flash nods and looks at the others, seeing AJ playing Connect Four with Enmity and letting her win. Seeing her master and mother-in-law overlong the two and placing bets on the match.
"I take it you had it rough?" asked Amazement, who was leaning on the RV and also looking at the others.
Flash turned to her. "Kind of, my mother-in-law wasn't a great mare back then. Trying to destroy and rule the world, you know, bad guy stuff."
Amazement look at her, dumbfounded but letting her continue "She kidnapped Midnight and mind-controlled her. I was in the battle tournament that Lunar hosted on the moon. When I return from saving the twins and the multiverse, she was saved by Dash and Dashie. I confessed to her, and we beat her mother up together."
"Okay, but wait, the moon?"
"Yup, she once ruled it, and people live up there, but they voted her out after our battle with her. She moved in with us ever since." She had a big happy smile on her face, looking at how much Lunar had changed.
Amazement glare at Lunar "So, you gave her a second chance? After what she did to your love and to you? Even to others?"
"Of course, everyone deserves a second chance. That's how bad people learn to be good. To be stronger and be loved by others." answered Flash proudly.
"Even the ones that don't deserve a second chance?" Amazement asked, clutching her sword hilt, shaking with fear but also rage.
Flash looked at her, seeing her touching her sword and shaking. "Even them. Everyone deserves to be happy and have a chance at life."
Amazement leaps forward, holding her sword and screaming, "EVEN THE ONES THAT KILLED YOUR LOVE ONES!?" She's panting as she sees the shock and confusion on Flash's face, making her even madder. "EVEN THE ONES THAT KILL THE LOVE OF YOUR LIFE!? THEY DON'T DESERVE NOTHING BUT DEATH!"
Flash stood up, getting more concerned, as did everyone else, hearing what she had said: "Are you okay? Is something wrong?"
Amazement started to shake as she realized she had burst out her rage at Flash.
"I'm sorry," she whispered and teleported away.
"Amazement!" Flash was about to give chase, but her wife came out and called her to go eat.
"Dinner is ready; come inside," said Midnight, waving to her. "I'll get her." Flash sigh, looking back at the spot she vanished from. "Come on, I'll do it." putting her arm around her wife, kissing her, and calling the others to come inside.
"Okay..."
Everyone entered the RV, which was very small inside, but they all made it work, while Midnight closed her eyes and found Amazement and teleported away like her.
Midnight reappeared in a night city and on top of a roof. She saw Amazement sitting on the edge and crying, but stopped as she sensed Midnight.
"...it's beautiful. I can't believe this universe could terra form their moon."
Midnight looked up and could see the earth, as they're on the moon. She looked back down and walked over to her, who kept talking. "Sorry, sorry for screaming at your lover like tha-" Just before she could finish, Midnight kicked Amazement off the roof, sending her falling to the street below.
Amazement screamed as she quickly cast a teleportation spell and floated above the city, sighing with relief.
"WHAT WAS THAT FOR!? IS SHE INSANE!?" screamed Amazement at no one, but she froze as she felt a cold, evil stare behind her. She slightly turned, seeing Midnight there. "...ho-" she was punch and went flying across the city, slamming into the force field that the city was in, and started to slide down, but Midnight reappeared and grabbed her neck. "Why are you doing this!? Are you evil like your mom or something!?"
Midnight lean in "You lost someone dear to you, haven't you? Someone you can't replace. Someone who was the only one who understood you, the one who loved you."
Amazement gasps upon hearing this. Midnight tosses her back to the city, making her fly through the air and crash through the roof of a house, scaring a sleeping family and causing them to run. Midnight hover above the house.
"You are filled with rage, sadness, and sorrow. You can't let it go, and you want nothing more than revenge."
Amazement shot out of the hole and charged at her and attacked her with her sword, but Midnight easily dodged every attack and grabbed her and slammed her into a car parking building, making her crash inside and causing a car to explode, destroying that row of cars. Midnight landed and watched as Amazement staggered her way out of the flames, as a bubble was around her.
"But at the same time, you're lost, scared, and filled with so much fear that you can't even draw your blade from its sheath." Amazement look at her sword and her eyes went wide, as she saw it was true, her sword sheath was still on her sword "So many emotions, all mixing together."
Amazement growled and cast a huge ball of energy at her, causing a massive explosion. Midnight didn't move and was standing still as the blast died down, and she was still standing there, looking the same as before.
"How is she standing there? That attack should have at least blown her back or something." thought Amazement, watching as Midnight walked towards her.
"Because your anger isn't strong enough. Your power is weak. You are afraid. You're afraid when you finally face the one who killed your love that you can't defeat them. The fear that they'll kill you and then the pain you'll feel in failing to get the revenge you so much desire."
"SHUT UP! YOUR JUST A VERSION OF HER!" She charged at her again, but Midnight easily grabbed her sword hand, stopping her. "YOUR NOTHING LIKE HER! SHE'S SWEET! KIND! A HERO! YOU ARE NOTHING LIKE HER! SO SCREW OFF!" She screamed and cast another blast, but Midnight didn't move or do anything, and it exploded, and she still didn't move or do anything.
"And yet, you're so focused on the goal, you don't think about anything else." She threw her to the ground and stood on her back, preventing her from moving. "That's why I will teach you. Teach you how to fight and overcome the fear you have. How to be stronger. But not the way you know. Because of the path you are following, it'll lead you nowhere but death. Ending your story."
"No, please don't. Don't tell me that..." whimper Amazement, realizing she was right, and the tears began to flow.
Midnight took her foot off of her, grabbing her by her cape collar and lifting her up. "But I'll give you a chance. I'll help you if you wish. It's your choice where your story goes."
Amazement slowly looked up, seeing Midnight's cold, dark look. She started to cry again and threw herself into her arms.
"Teach me. Teach me everything."
Midnight nodded her head and held her like a mother holding a child; even Amazement could feel the warmth. Midnight lean back, shocking Amazement as she saw the kindness and gentle look she was giving her.
"Tell me your story. Where are you from and how did you lose your love?"
Amazement started to tear up again, but started to tell her.
Flash and everyone else were eating the soup and sandwich Midnight made. Flash and everyone else were worried about Amazement, but they saw a purple light flash at the door, and soon, a purple barefoot kick opened the door. It was Midnight, and she's holding Amazement in her arms like a baby who was crying.
"Oh my god! Are you okay!?" ask Heat and Lil Star, seeing how ruffled up Amazement looked but froze as Midnight glared at them and everyone else.
"I've only known Amazement for a half hour, but if anything happened to her, I would kill everyone in this room and then myself." Midnight walk into the bedroom and close the door.
Everyone was in shock and confused, but Flash and the sisters weren't as they smiled.
"Don't worry, she doesn't mean it. Under that cold stare is a warm and kind soul." said Sunny, dipping her sandwich in her soup.
"Yeah, she's a lot like her father. She might have my looks, but she carries his heart." added Lunar, nodding and proud of her daughter.
Flash had a big, stupid grin as she put her arms around the sisters. "It's why I fell in love with her! Midnight can bring out the best in people. She's my fighting spirit, my drive!"
Everyone smiled, and soon they could hear a faint lullaby and soft crying from the bedroom.
It was nighttime; everyone was outside. Flash turned to the sisters and bowed to them.
"I'll be back. Please, master and mother-in-law, pray for my safe return. I will save the twins and protect the multiverse once more." but she suddenly saw their legs walk past her and stood up, and she saw them standing with her friends. "What?"
"We're coming with you. This danger is a huge threat to the entire multiverse, including ours. We're not going to sit around while you go off alone, Flash." Sunny said, putting her sunglasses on.
Lunar nodded in agreement. "Yes, as a mother, I can't stand by and let this maniac get her hands on those poor kids. I'm joining you in this battle!"
Flash turned to Discord, who told her he didn't care, making her pound her fist, ready to go, but she heard the RV door open and saw Amazement walking out.
"Sorry about yelling at you."
"Don't worry about it."
Amazement nodded and walked over to her and the others, but everyone could feel the powerful magical energy coming from the RV, and soon walking out was Midnight, wearing her dark orange karate uniform and her bare feet taped up with blue sports tape.
"Midnight?" whispered Flash as she watched her walk up to her.
"I'm coming; I made an oath to train Amazement but also to help you and repay those two versions of you. Rainbow Dash and Dashie. They freed me from the mind control and saved me. I knew if they didn't, as soon as you returned, I would had killed you, my dear wife. Please let me go with you." pled Midnight, looking down.
Flash smiled, grabbing her chin and lifting it up, making her blush as they looked into each other's eyes.
"Of course. I want you to stay here, where it's safe, but I know you; you would find a way to follow me." Flash kissed her deeply, making Midnight blush more, and returned the kiss, surprising everyone as the evil-feeling energy was gone. Flash lean back and had her classic stupid grin: "Having you cover my back will make this battle fun!"
"For sure. Together forever." said Midnight, hugging her, to which she returned.
Amazement held her chest; seeing how much they love each other, made her think about her love. She then saw Sunny and Lunar walking back to the RV.
"Never mind, if Midnight going then you won't need us." said both sisters, but Midnight let go of Flash, and the dark energy returned as she grabbed their collars and tossed them into the phone booth with such great force.
"You freeloaders aren't going back on your word, are you? I won't allow you to bring dishonor to my wife's name. Your coming with us and help or else."
Both sisters had their backs to the phonebooth walls and were sweating as they saw her cold stare and quickly nodded.
"Good." She then turned to the others and pointed to the phone booth. Everyone crams inside the phone booth, not saying a word, not even Discord. Midnight glare at Enmity, who was still floating outside of the booth, she grabbed her hand but was shocked to see her hand phase through her.
Enmity did a small squeak. "I'm a hologram; I'm not solid. Sorry for the scare."
Midnight looked at her hand and back at Enmity with the same cold stare, but Enmity could see it had sadness.
"That's why you didn't eat anything. You poor child." Midnight reach out towards Enmity once more. Enmity was shock as she felt Midnight's warm and caring hand on her head as she petted her. Once she was done, Enmity wanted to know how she did that. "My powers can affect and touch non-physical beings. Now come on." Midnight walks her to the booth, leaving Amazement and Flash alone.
"She's a very sweet woman, isn't she?" asked Flash, smiling.
"She really is..." answered Amazement, then turning to her, "You are very lucky to have her."
"Thanks! I can't wait to see Dr. Wonder again! They can finally meet each other; she didn't believe me that I would marry my love of my life!" Flash had her stupid grin, but she noticed Amazement looking like she saw a ghost. "Are you okay?"
"What? Oh, yeah. I'm fine." said Amazement, waving her hand and looking away. She tried her best not to cry and didn't have the heart to tell her what happened to Dr. Wonder. "We better hurry!"
"...okay?"
Both cram into the phone booth, and they shut the door.
"Alright ladies, next stop!" Discord, flip the phonebook, and tap the universe number "Magical Fruit Universe!"
Flash, Aaira, Lil Star, Heat, and Bolt all had the biggest smiles, knowing it was Berry's home universe.
"I hope she's doing well." said Heat to the others.
Aaira smirk "I know she is! She's the bravest little pony we've ever met!"
Discord was about to dial the number, stop, and turn to the others, who all groan.
"Dude! We're broke!" shouted Bolt, pulling out her empty pockets.
Discord laughed as he was about to make a joke at their expense, but was stopped as a large coin bag came up to his face. He looked down, and the one holding it was Midnight, who looked up at him with a cold stare that turned him to ice.
"I have a ton of coins. Use them, but..." her cold stare went into a twisted evil look. "You have to pay me back, down to the last coin...or else..." her face returned to normal and she gave a happy smile.
Next to her were AJ and Aaira, who were shaking with fear with their helmet on and trying their best not to shoot her, not because they didn't want to hurt her because they wanted to live and not make her mad.
Discord took the coin bag and sweated. "Oof, she's pretty scary for a Twilight variant..." thought Discord as he took the coin bag and put in the coins into the phone and dialed the number, making the phonebooth disappear.
In Berry universe, she and her friends defeated a giant monster that attack Ponyville, but Berry looked at her friends cheering, not caring they could have died in this fight. After seeing death firsthand, she changed; she became hardern and colder, and her friends didn't notice it and were still cheering. Berry turned away from them, but her team leader, Grape, took notice and called out to her, asking if she was okay.
She turned to them, her eyes filled with the cold reality of the truth in life: they could die in any battle; this isn't a game or sunshine and rainbows anymore. This was life and death. She wasn't going to let death take away her dear friends from her...
"We need to change how we do things."
End of chapter Orange(1)
