"Once in a million years, only this night comes. I feel this night. This night of Belial has returned! Now, I only have 1 month. And, I know just who can get me the 8 keys. Beware, Sunset Shimmer, for I am returning tonight for a month," said the dark figure. He then turned into a ball of darkness and disappeared.

"Come on! Tonight is the final soccer match. I didn’t even bring my phone. Please, let’s go. The fair will be there tomorrow as well," said Rainbow Dash, trying her best to convince the others to go back.
"Actually, some legends say that tonight is when the first demon king, Belial, came to Earth, thus making this the darkest night. This night only comes once in a million years when all the planets align and three special constellations appear: the Eyed Octopus, the Lion's Mane, and the Red Goblet. The fair is known as the Sweet Fair because Constantine the Great forced the demon king into a sweet which he then threw into hell," said Twilight, who was petting Spike, who was sleeping on her lap. She was trying her best to control her sorrow.
"Thanks to you, now the Sweet Fair doesn’t sound very sweet," said Sunset, who was driving since it was her turn and Applejack was sleeping. She was trying her best to control her happiness.
A lot had happened to Sunset and Twilight in the past week. For Sunset, things have been looking up. She has recently found out that her love is Adagio Dazzle. In the past, through fierce battles, they had been redeemed. Adagio and Sunset had their first date a week ago. This would be their second date. Pinkie and Sonata also started dating a month ago. While Aria says she would prefer to be single for the rest of her life. At the fair, the plan is that Sunset and Adagio will go on their own separate date for the day. Pinkie would go with Sonata separately as well. Aria would be with the rest of the group for the day. As for Twilight's love interest, things have been looking more like six feet under for her love choice. Timber Spruce was going to his home from a party. He was driving a bike. He was drunk. He drank nearly three bottles of rum. He had an accident. He did not survive this time. Here, Twilight decided she would only date someone who never drinks alcohol or smokes cigarettes.
"Anyways, I have to buy some silk for my latest collection," said Rarity while applying nail polish to her nails. She was excited since a lot could happen there for a fashion designer.
Everyone was trying their best to ignore Rainbow. But just then...
"Come on, please! I can go home and you all can go to the fair," said Rainbow Dash.
And that was the final straw.
"That’s it, Rainbow, you have been complaining since we got on the road. We all, Pinkie went with you without complaining. Why can’t you?" screamed Fluttershy, due to which poor Spike woke up.
"I am sorry," said Rainbow Dash, who was trying to think of all the fun they would have there.
"Anyways… Twilight, I thought you didn’t believe in this stuff?" asked Sunset, who was curious.
"After midnight started to reappear in my dreams… I believe this stuff more than ever," said Twilight, who was trying to calm Spike down since he woke up suddenly and vomited.
"What?! How is she reappearing?! What’s is she saying to you?" asked Sunset, who was about to start panicking.
"If I knew how she is coming back, I would have stopped her. But she says that some powerful enemy is coming. Someone who can create with a snap and destroy with a blink of an eye. I have no idea who can be this powerful."
"I don’t give a shit who it is. Our magic can toast anyone with wrong intentions," said Applejack, who was now awake due to all the commotion.
"Yeah," said Sunset, who then started to think.
………….………….………….………….………….………….………….………….………….………….………….………….………….………….………….………….………….
In her thoughts:
"It can’t be. He wouldn’t. There’s no way he returned. If he has returned then I need to be very careful."
Then she had a flashback. There was a giant monster/demon who was devouring everything in its path. Then with a flaming kick, a boy ended the creature. Then the boy came to Sunset and said, "Come on, we can’t let anyone see us."
She then started to think. "And he was just 4 then. If it’s him, I have no choice but to tell Adagio the truth first. Then I will tell the others. But then he only said he never wants to see me again, so why would he come here? He will never come here. But then who is this evil? And why is Midnight helping Twilight?"

Suddenly:
………….………….………….………….………….………….………….………….………….………….………….………….………….………….………….………….………….
Sunset got a sharp shooting headache. "Hey, Applejack, mind starting to drive again? I need to lay down, I am having a shit of a headache. I have not had one like this since..." Then she realized why she was getting a headache. "Well, I don’t know since when," said Sunset, trying to hide something.
"How much longer?!" screamed Pinkie Pie literally right next to Sunset's ear, which resulted in her fainting.

In a dark secluded corner of Sunset's mind:
………….………….………….………….………….………….………….………….………….………….………….………….………….………….………….………….………….
"Hello? Is anybody there?" asked Sunset. She kept on asking for a while, but then...
"Hello, Sunset. It’s been a while," said the figure.
"I knew it was you, what do you want?"
"Exactly what Midnight wants... yours and Twilight’s survival."

"Sunset!" screamed Twilight at the top of her voice.
Applejack panicked and parked on the roadside immediately.
"What happened to her?!" asked Applejack, really worried.
"Rarity, call Adagio here now!" said Rainbow.
"On it!"
………….………….………….………….………….………….………….………….………….………….………….………….………….………….………….………….………….
On the phone:
………….………….………….………….………….………….………….………….………….………….………….………….………….………….………….………….………….
"Hello! Adagio?"
"Yeah, hey Rarity what’s up, where you, my guess would be almost here?"
"Su-sunset, she-she fainted all of a sudden," said Rarity, almost crying.
"Did you check her BP?
