A Dangerous Deal-CH12-A Warning for the Princesses

     “Are you sure this plan on stopping Frozen Heart and the two who are with her from getting the mirror going to work Princess Celestia,” Candace asked looking at her with a confused look.

     “She is correct dear sister, we don’t see this actually working in our favor but actually be put us in a rather risky predicament. Thou is sure that this is the wisest move we’ve got because we got better ideas than what you’re doing,” Luna said very cautiously.

     Celestia looked at the two of them with a glint of pride in her eyes but she mostly held concern all around her face. “No, no I don’t have much faith in this plan to actually succeed with Frozen Heart but it will probably work for the two who Frozen Heart will send to distract us,” Celestia said looking back at her handy work.

     Right at the center of the throne room was the mirror that Frozen Heart desperately wanted lying flat on the ground. The mirror wasn’t big as a regular mirrors are but it was as big as a normal ponies head if not a little smaller and was as thick as a pencil maybe a little thicker. The frame of the mirror was an egg white yellow color with eight dark red symbols marked around it and the glass that was a light gray color and wasn’t reflective.

     “Besides there wasn’t much of a choice if we want to keep ourselves from harming Pinkie and whoever else Frozen Heart has control. Frozen Heart probably had already captured Twilight’s friends somewhere out there and Twilight had ran off to find them. That had limited other plans and fighting those two would wind up with what she wants so this is probably the best option we’ve got,” Celestia said.

     “Okay let us hear this plan of yours one more time to make sure we heard it right,” Luna said calmly and Candace gave a small nod in agreement.

     “Fine but I’m just going to say this once more, I’ve set the mirror in the center of this room to draw the two pawns in. They were probably order to get the mirror so I laid it there with invisible warding going around the mirror. When they go retrieve the mirror they will activate the wards and create a magic barrier that will trap them inside. With them trapped we won’t have to worry about hurting them and Frozen Heart will be forced to show herself facing us three without any distractions,” Celestia said.

     Luna gently rubbed her temple with her fore hoof as she gave a silent groan making both of them look at her worried. “Why does thou make this plan so complicated,” Luna said a little frustrated.

     “What do you mean Luna? It’s not complicated at all and there is no other way without harming them,” Celestia said sounding confused by Luna’s words.

     “There is another way dear sister which is much simpler than setting this elaborate trap and risking the mirror out like this,” Luna said but received both of them to tilt their head. “Hath thou forgotten that we are the Princess of the Night? We could put them to sleep when they showed up and have the same results as you were just talk about,” Luna continued very subtle.

     Celestia stared blankly at her sister for a little bit before she gave a frustrated groan as she whacked her fore hoof lightly on her forehead. “Why didn’t you say that earlier before I started to waste time in setting this trap,” Celestia said sounding a bit annoyed.

     “We did try to tell you earlier when thou first mentioned your plan but you didn’t listen to us and we decided to go along with it until now. The only reason we asked for you to go over your plan again is to state my easier plan where you had to listen,” Luna irritably said twitching her left eye.

     Celestia lost her focus on Luna as she went over her thoughts trying to remember if what Luna said was true.

     Candace just stood there looking at Celestia with a disgruntled look and said, “Luna’s right she had mentioned it before but you had just ignored her and went straight to the vault. It doesn’t matter now since your trap is already set up so we might as well continue with your plan but next time why don’t you wait and see if there are different ideas before you settle with one.”

     Celestia then remembered that Luna did try to say something to her but she didn’t listen so she lowered her head in shame. “I’m sorry Luna…” Celestia before she was cut off with Luna wrapping a hoof around her neck and brought her into a hug.

     “There’s no need to apologize to us big sis, we know that you had to do thing quickly before Frozen Heart attacks but now you know next time,” Luna said with compassion so she could cheer Celestia up a little

     Celestia looked back up to Luna giving off a small grateful smile giving her a gentle squeeze back as she crane her neck around Luna. Candace gave off a stifled giggle and both Luna and Celestia separated getting back to the matter at hoof.

     They waited in hiding for a little longer until a green flame ignited in front of Celestia startling them. A rolled up scroll came popping out of the green flames and hit the ground as the green flame extinguished itself out leaving a small patch of smoke.

     Celestia lifted the scroll from the ground with her magic and brought it up to her face. There she saw a seal that she instantly recognized and quickly unsealed it to unravel the parchment.

     “It’s from Twilight Sparkle isn’t it? We recognized the seal as well from all the other letters she sent to you before but if she sent one now that mans that she has something important to tell us about the situation. Would you be so kind if you could read the letter out loud to us to save time,” Luna asked.

     Celestia looked at both Luna and Candace to see that they both had anticipation to what the letter had said so she gave a quick nod and looked back at the open letter. “Dear Princesses, I am writing to you as Twilight had told me to do to tell you what had happened in the Everfree Forest,” Celestia said before she stopped reading with some confusion.

     “The Everfree Forest? What in the name of all of Equestria is she doing at a dangerous place like the Everfree Forest,” Candace asked with concern.

     “We don’t know but it obviously had to do with Frozen Heart or else she wouldn’t have been there in the first place or writing to us. Please keep reading,” Luna said.

     “Twilight was able to find her friends with the help of Fluttershy, as she was able to escape, at the old castle within the Everfree Forest. They were trapped in ice that reached up to their necks including Discord and it seems as though that Pinkie had led them into the trap because of some deal,” Celestia said before she was interrupted by Luna.

     “Why that cold-hearted piece of ice! Frozen Heart used her part of the deal to get Pinkie to bring her friends into her trap so that she could force Pinkie to keep following her orders,” Luna shouted.

     “Wait how’d you knew that? …Oh right Frozen Heart knows that Pinkie’s friends are important to her so she captured her friends and if she doesn’t follow them then she’ll…” Candace said disheartened unable to finish the sentence.

     “Well obviously she couldn’t capture Fluttershy as she went and found Twilight to bring her to them. Though she couldn’t have fought Frozen Heart by herself so she must have hid somewhere until she could free them. Anyways could I please continue reading the letter,” Celestia said.

     Both Princess Luna and Candace lowered their heads and mumbled “sorry… please continue.”

     Celestia gave a pleasant nod of gratitude before she cleared her throat and looked back at the letter. “I don’t fully understand who this Frozen Heart is but I do know that she had evil intention and that you don’t have to worry about her anymore as she was shattered into millions of tiny pieces. That was a…” Celestia said before she was once again interrupted.

     “Sorry for interrupting but if Frozen Heart is… well is now… dead, does that mean that Equestria is now safe from danger? That would mean that we’ve been setting up this trap and worried about a threat towards Equestria for no reason,” Candace said sounding a bit peeved.

     “That would be great but who’s the one who ended Frozen Heart’s life because we doubt that Twilight would be capable of doing that to her. We’ve got a bad feeling that this isn’t over and that there was somepony more powerful than Frozen Heart who did that to her,” Luna said grimly.

     “I believe that you’re right Luna. I have this bad feeling that there something that Frozen Heart didn’t know and we don’t know,” Celestia said forbiddingly.

     “Maybe it was that second pony that made a deal with her for Pinkie like we had mentioned earlier. Perhaps he or she was more powerful than her and was just using Frozen Heart to get to Pinkie and when he or she didn’t need her anymore they killed her. The letter must have a description of who’s this second pony is so let’s continue reading,” Candace said.

     Both of them thought about what Candace had said for a little bit and they both nodded their heads slowly being disturbed of that thought.

     Celestia looked back to the letter in front of her with a slightly uneasy feeling in her gut telling her that something bed is going to be told next. “That was a shocking experience to all of us that we couldn’t believe our eyes and the problem was that, we aren’t really sure who had done it. It could have been him or it could have been… Pinkie,” Celestia said before she had stopped reading unable to process what had been said.

     Celestia could hear the gasps from the both of them and the start of a word before they were cut out. She could tell that they were shocked as much as she was unable to respond to what’s been said and she couldn’t blame them.

     There was a few moments of dreadful silence as time ticked on by slowly as a tortoise before there was a single sound. “What the heck do they mean that Pinkie could have done it? How is it possible that Pinkie could’ve do such a horrid thing when Celestia and Discord couldn’t even defeat her much less kill? Plus if she was that powerful in the first place then why would she follow Frozen Heart’s orders and bring her friends to the trap,” Candace said furiously.

     “Don’t be too sure Candace. Remember that he said that it could be him as well, whoever he is. What we don’t understand is how could they be so unsure about who had killed Frozen Heart? Does he say who is he or why they don’t know in the rest of the letter,” Luna asked.

     All eyes were back on Celestia making her feel a bit of pressure as she dreaded to what’s to come but she brought her focus back to the letter. “Gah I should have said this before the other sentence but we have a new problem thanks to Frozen Heart. King Sombra has come back… no it’s Queen Sombra now as he puts it… or maybe she? Ah it’s too confusing for me,” Celestia read before she dropped the letter.

     Candace held wide eyes after she heard the name as she began to worry for her kingdom and her husband. “WHAT! KING SOMBRA IS BACK!” Candace shouted as she started to panic, “How is this possible? We were barely able to defeat him last time because of how lucky we were and now he’s back,” Candace continued.

     “Candace please calm down…” Luna said before she was interrupted.

     “CALM DOWN? HOW CAN I POSSIBLY CALM DOWN AFTER THIS,” Candace snapped back at her then took a quick breather as she remembered her technique. “Sorry but if he is back then he will be after the Crystal Empire and that means that my kingdom is in danger and my husband is in danger as well. I have to get back as quickly as I can,” she said before she ran to the door.

     “Celestia we have to go…” Luna said turning to face Celestia before she trailed off. Luna saw that Celestia was standing there with tears in her eyes looking slightly down to the marble floor. “Celestia… What’s wrong?”

     Celestia didn’t speak for a moment as tears dripped down onto the floor before she gave a little snivel. “It’s h…him. It’s K…King S…Sombra,” Celestia manage to say very silently before she looked back down.

     “No sis it’s not him… well it’s not the same as the one you knew and loved in that universe. You have to remember that the one you love isn’t coming back and this Sombra is the evil one. We have to stop Sombra once in for all before he could do any damage in the Crystal Empire,” Luna said gently giving her sister a caring hug.

     Celestia hugged Luna back tightly like she was a stuffed toy for a filly and let her tears fall into Luna’s dark blue coat. “Right… He is not the same and we have to stop him...” Celestia said quietly.

     Luna backed away from her sister slowly giving her a sympathetic look as she see her drying up her tears. “You feeling better sis,” Luna asked.

     Celestia just gave a sad shrug and said, “a tiny bit,” before she grabbed the letter back again with her magic.

     “Good now let’s go and catch up to Princess Candace and meet up with Twilight and her friends,” Luna said.

     “Right,” Celestia said as well sounding more confident.

     They both took off running to the door but Celestia halted in her tracks and looked back at the cursed mirror. “Blade, Shadow, Bring the mirror back to the royal vault and whatever you do don’t touch the glass part unless you want your soul taken away,” Celestia ordered her two royal guards before she ran to the exit.

     The two guards saluted then went to retrieve the mirror but when they approach the mirror the ward was activated creating a barrier. The two guards looked at each other then back at the barrier before they sat there not knowing what to do.

     Meanwhile back at Princess Celestia and Princess Luna they were running to the Royal Gardens before they took off flying. They both held determined looks while they rapidly flapped their wings trying to catch up to Candace where they could now barely see ahead of them. They flapped even harder and faster soon as they saw her and they were steadily closing the gap.

     Once they finally caught up to Princess Candace they saw tears running behind her face with a fierce look like she was ready to do something drastic. They were a little startled and concerned when they saw her face that their pacing was thrown off quite a bit that they fell behind once again for a brief period of time before they closed their distance again.

     “I’m going to finish Sombra once and for all this time so he won’t ever harm the Crystal Empire or the ponies I care about anymore. What I don’t get is how King Sombra was able to come back after what happen with the Crystal Heart. We saw him blast into pieces and sent to who knows where the last time we saw him. I tried to think it’s because of his Dark magic but the timing of his reappearance is too coincidental that makes me think that he was the second pony that made a deal with Frozen Heart,” Candace said grimly.

     “That does make sense that he was the second pony but that begs the question, what does Sombra want with Pinkie Pie? From what Twilight and her friends told us is that Sombra never dealt with Twilight’s friends much so he shouldn’t know Pinkie Pie. We never finished the letter back there so maybe it has the answers they we seek. Do you think that you could read the letter and fly to the Crystal Empire at the same time,” Luna asked looking at Celestia.

     “Sure I could try,” Celestia said sounding unsure of herself but still pulled out the letter once more and looked at it with the wind blowing back at it. “The situation gets even worse because Sombra is now just a horn but now the horn was forced onto Pinkie’s forehead and is now possessing Pinkie’s body,” Celestia said before she stopped with dread.

     The others looked at her with the same dreadful look but Celestia just ignored her feelings and the others at the moment and continued reading. “We not sure if Sombra was the one who killed Frozen Heart because Sombra said that Pinkie was able to briefly get control again and killed Frozen Heart. Most of us didn’t believe that he was telling the truth but Fluttershy did and Twilight wasn’t so sure.

     “The others were shocked at them for believe in what Sombra had said and asked them why they believed that Pinkie could have done that. The more that they discussed the more confused we got on who did that awful crime and now it’s leaning more towards Pinkie. Twilight had good reasoning to believe in Sombra’s word but we can’t say for sure if it’s true unless we talk to Pinkie but as it is we can’t.

     “All of them are now heading to the Crystal Empire in rapid speed to face off Queen Sombra and free Pinkie from his control and they have to be quick about it. If they can’t be quick enough then they could lose Pinkie to the Dark magic that is corrupting her soul and mind and corrupting her Element. I could only hope that they could save Pinkie before it’s too late and that you could go and help them save Pinkie as well. Sincerely Spike. PS. be weary that Sombra is now more powerful than before with Pinkie’s magic and Element now in his control,” Celestia finished before she rolled back the letter and put it away.

     There was a moment of absolute silences as the breeze flowed by their manes while they flew in deep thought. “So that’s the reason Sombra is back and wanted Pinkie. He wanted her body so he could take over her and go back to claim the Crystal Empire back to his/ her control. The new question is, why did he want Pinkie’s body? Why not anybody that didn’t have a horn already,” Candace asked.

     There was more silence as they thought about what Candace had said until Celestia spoken up. “Her magic. Spike said that Sombra is now more powerful with Pinkie’s magic that was building up. Sombra wanted Pinkie’s body because of all that magic that Pinkie has stored inside her since she was a unicorn before her accident plus her being the Element of Laughter was probably a bonus for him. With all that magic now at his disposal he/she would be more powerful that he usually is,” Celestia said.

     “That would mean three things sis. One, Pinkie’s magic would turn into Dark magic that would corrupt her even if we are able to break the connection between her and Sombra. Two, the Element of Laughter would be corrupted making the Elements of Harmony useless unless we miraculously find a way to purify the Element some how which is highly unlikely. And Three, what your saying would mean that Sombra had known about Pinkie’s past somehow where we don’t know how he knew,” Luna said with a grim but confused look upon her face.

     “Actually we do. Sombra’s horn had somehow fallen into Frozen Heart’s grasp where he was able to communicate with her though what was most likely his Dark magic. Frozen Heart must have told him about Pinkie’s past since she was without a doubt following her in the shadows. That’s when he made a deal with Frozen Heart to get Pinkie setting things into motion,” Celestia said.

     “Well because of that deal we have multiple problems in our hooves that we now have to face with. The first problem is to save the Crystal Empire from Sombra and somehow free Pinkie. The second problem is Pinkie herself because Pinkie is now affected with the Dark magic because of this. Who knows what she’ll do after we free her from Sombra’s control and based on what she could have done to Frozen Heart she could be a threat to Equestrias safety. Then we have to find a way to restore the Element Of Laughter some how since it’s going to be corrupted after this,” Candace said.

     “Candace is right, as much as we don’t want to we might have to eliminate Pinkie because of that deal that Maud made all those years ago,” Luna forlornly said.

     Celestia looked away as soon as Luna said that unable to look at them and closed her eyes allowing her thoughts drift to Twilight. She knew that Twilight or the rest of her friends would never allow them to do that to one of their best friends and if she did Twilight would never forgive her for what she did. She too couldn’t have the heart to eliminate one of her prized pupil’s friends as she too found Pinkie a valued friend of hers.

     Celestia then looked at Luna with a heavy heart as she knew her all too well. She knew that her sister won’t hesitate to do what was necessary if she needed to because of her being alone on the moon for a thousand years. Luna still has the old ways stuck with her but she knows that Luna would still feel terrible doing it. She wonders if her sister would feel somehow connected to what’s happening to Pinkie.

     All Celestia did was give a small sigh as she then looked at Candace with a curious look. She wasn’t quite sure what would Candace do as she knew that she wasn’t like Luna at all. She could believe that Candace would hesitate a little since Pinkie is her step sister’s friend but ultimately still go through with it if need be. She knew that Candace would feel awful for what she would do and would worry that Twilight would hate her for the rest of her life.

     With all that running through her mind Celestia once again closed her eyes to think about what they should do. Right then she remembered what Pinkie had done for Equestria how she help save her sister from Nightmare Moons control, defeat Discord before he was reformed, tried to help stop the changeling army and King Sombra’s reign in the Crystal Empire. She help save Equestria from the takeover of the Everfree Forest caused by Discord’s Plunder vines he planted all those centuries ago and help save Equestria from Tirek’s destruction.

     That thought sealed what she wanted to do and that she knew that she could never do something that horrible to Pinkie. Celestia open her eyes and looked at them with a firm stare before she opened her mouth to speak. “There is no way we are going to eliminate Pinkie because of this,” Celestia said sternly as she could possibly could.

     “But Celestia what if Pinkie was the one who killed Frozen Heart? If she did that then that means that she has been compromised to the Darkness and she might do that again. We cannot allow…” Luna said persuasively before she was interrupted.

     “I said no...” Celestia snapped causing both of them to gasp at her sudden outburst and so Celestia took a calming breath. “There is no way that I could do such a horrid thing to Pinkie after what she has done for Equestria,” Celestia continued more gently.

     “Then you don’t have to do it yourself Princess, Luna or I could do it even though it would be very tragic. There will always be another Element of Laughter that’s not corrupted later on when we find a way to purify the Element,” Candace said trying to be modest about it but her tone failed her.

     Celestia knew that one of them was going to say that to her as she scoffed a little making the both of them look at her weird. “Really you would do that without hesitation or second thoughts,” Celestia asked making it sound as if she was judging them.

     They looked at each other for a little bit with confused looks before they both hesitated nodded simultaneously. Celestia expected that as she gave a disappointed sigh looking away from them for a moment. “Did you even have a single thought about how Twilight and her friends would react to this cross your mind or how they would feel? Believe me that they wouldn’t like the slightest thought about having one of their best friends be eliminated. If you did that to her then Twilight and her friends would hate you for the rest of your lives,” Celestia said.

     Candace frowned at the thought of Twilight hating her forever making her look down at the ground below. “I… I’m sure that t…they would understand,” Candace said but sounded unsure of herself.

     “Well I could do it if Candace can’t do it as well because of fearing that she would be hated. I could handle their anger towards me when I do it as it would make no difference for me to have more ponies despise me,” Luna said deprecatingly.

     Celestia frowned at what Luna had said as she felt like she has no worth in herself as though she still believes that ponies hates her for what she has done in the past. Celestia couldn’t accept it as she flew closer to her and lightly smacked Luna at the back of her head with her hoof.

     “Ouch, what was that for sis,” Luna said melodramatically as she rubbed the back of her head looking at her.

     “Why must you think like that dear sister, how could you think that losing the friends you have is okay with you? You saying that the ponies in Equestria still hold a grudge on you for what Nightmare Moon did and that is not okay with me,” Celestia said.

     Luna looked down with tears in her eyes as she heard her sister say those things which she agrees. “But its true dear sister. There’s still ponies out there that still hold a grudge against me and having them hate me for what I’ll do to protect Equestria is something I’ll be used to,” Luna said.

     Once again Celestia smacked Luna on the side of her head lightly with tears flowing back. “Stop. Don’t you dare think that its true dear sister, you have helped ponies get through nightmares since you’ve been back and they been grateful for you. There isn’t a pony out there that blames you nor hates you for what Nightmare Moon has done. You now have friends since you’ve been back who loves you for who you are and your night. Don’t lose them after all this time,” Celestia said softhearted.

     Luna looked down thinking about what Celestia had said now not knowing what she should do. She still thinks that she should eliminate Pinkie but she knows that Celestia is right and she doesn’t want to lose the friends that she made.

     Celestia saw the doubts in her eyes but she knew that she still hadn’t gotten through to her all the way. She knew that she still plans to eliminate Pinkie but was less willingly and she knew that she only needs to do a little more nudging towards the right direction.

     “It’s really your choice if you want to go through with it or not but just give it some thought on how it would affect you. You are going to eliminate one of the ponies that help saved you from Nightmare Moon and the one that helped save Equestria countless of times. Pinkie’s is now in a similar situation that you were in Luna for all those year. She is not in control of her actions anymore and you are just going to eradicate her. You could help her like she has helped you and you could free her from the Darkness that’s controlling her,” Celestia said.

     Luna stared at Celestia in shock unsure how to respond to that as she thought about her past. She remembered how she wanted to stop and get back control of her body from Nightmare Moon. She felt remorse for what she did and wished that somepony would stop her and free her from what she was trapped in. Then those six extraordinary heroes came and answered her plea for help freeing her from the darkness that clouded her mind. She then compared it to what’s happening now to Pinkie and found that Celestia was right.

     She noticed that Pinkie is now in the same boat as she was in all those years ago and was probably begging for her friends to free her from the Darkness that’s controlling her named Sombra. She knew what it was like to be not in control and here she was thinking of destroying her rather than saving her. She knew that she can’t get rid of the Darkness that’s building inside her but she knew she could free her from the other Darkness that isn’t hers and was determined to do so

     Celestia saw the new look in Luna’s eyes making her relived that Luna has relinquish the idea to eliminate Pinkie. She smiled at the thought of that she helped her sister get though a tough predicament and let out a joyful tear. She then noticed that her sister was looking at her with guilt and relief in her eyes but held a sad smile across her face.

     “Your right sis, Pinkie is now the same as us was and we’ll save her from Sombra’s control like she had done for us with Nightmare Moon. We thank you for clearing our mind from that plan we were on,” Luna said.

     “Okay so what happens when we free her from Sombra’s control and she starts harming the citizens because of the Dark magic has corrupted her? If we aren’t going to eliminate her then what are we going to do with her because we can’t let that happen,” Candace said.

     Celestia knew that question was going to arise and she didn’t know what she’ll do because locking her up would be not as bad but was still not something she’s willing to do. She was about to speak up and say an idea but to her surprise it was Luna who spoke up.

     “That’s something that we’ll have to see but if it does happen then we will take her under our wing and help her control the Darkness that she has for something good,” Luna said.

     Both Celestia and Candace was surprised to hear Luna say that and Celestia was especially surprised that she had the same idea as her but instead it would have been her that took Pinkie under her wing. She then thought of Luna as a teacher and how it would affect her schedule and that she will be rather busy throughout the afternoon and the night.

     She remembered how busy she was running Equestria, teaching Twilight and raising the moon and the sun at the time. Her load only gotten her lighten when her sister gotten back from her banishment and when Twilight started living in Ponyville. She then started to worry that Luna might have overbooked herself if she brings Pinkie under her wing.

     “Luna are you sure that’s a good idea to bring Pinkie under your wing like that. Have you thought about how it would completely change your schedule to where you might have to be awake all morning and sleep at the night like your sister? Then there’s the point that you will be constantly busy like Celestia was when she was teaching Twilight. I don’t know how Celestia was able to pull that off and she was by herself at the time. Maybe it would be better if Twilight be the one to takes Pinkie under her wing rather than you,” Candace said filled with concern.

     Celestia was once again surprised that Candace had the same concerns as she had about the idea of Luna teaching. She slightly agreed with Candace that Twilight might be better to take Pinkie under her wing rather than her sister but she also feels like Twilight is still too new to have that much responsibility.

     Right then Luna did something that neither of them had expected and snapped at Candace with a cold icy glare. “NO! We’ll take her under our wing. We don’t mind if our schedule changes if we help her from what she is going through. Pinkie is the same as us now and we would like to be with her once we are able to free her from Sombra’s control. Don’t you worry about us, we could handle the extra responsibility,” Luna said.

     After hearing Luna say that Celestia had lost all worries that she had and felt proud of her sister for standing her ground to what she believes is best. Right then she knew that Luna would be alright teaching her and that she would either succeed or try her best and Pinkie couldn’t have a better teacher.

     “Well that’s a hefty task you put yourself Luna but I’m proud of you for doing it but let me know if you want me to take over for a little bit if you need to take a break. I don’t want you to overwork yourself towards exhaustion and also let me know if you want advice since I did teach Twilight a while back. To be honest I was going to say what you planned on doing but you ended up saying it first and I wish you the best of luck,” Celestia said sympathetically.

     Luna looked at Celestia with a joyous expression like she had gotten exactly what she wanted on Hearth Warming day. “Thanks sis that makes our mind at ease knowing that thou believe in us to do this and don’t you worry we’ll ask for help when we need it,” Luna said cheerfully.

     “Come on we are almost at the Crystal Empire so if you want to do that we have to free Pinkie and see if you are going to have to train her or not. Let’s go and save Pinkie and hope that Sombra hasn’t gotten there first,” Candace said then flapped harder gaining speed.

     They both looked in each other’s eyes with determination before they shouted their agreements and took off faster towards the Crystal Empire.
