The Magic of Ponyland: The Legend of the Rainbow Ponies

[djlamar2]

That's right this story is about a new breed of ponies. Well kinda. These ponies have been around since before Ponyland was an actual place. So our journey begins at the Mystical Palace where *Screams are heard* let's just see what's going on.

Baby Twilight Sparkle:
MOM! AUNT MATILDA! *Looking at a body that's a bloody mess* Oh man. Stay calm Baby Twilight Sparkle. *Twilight Sparkle comes out and gasps*

Twilight Sparkle:
A pony. *Looks at her mane* But her mane is different. Its all shiny and has rainbows in it. Kinda like Celestia. I hope David and the gang sees this. *She hears her groan*

Pony:
Rainbow palace in trouble. Need help.

Twilight Sparkle:
Save your strength. *Thinks* Now where have I heard that name before?

Meanwhile in the human world

Melissa:
Uh dad.

David:
Yeah.

Melissa:
You may want to see this. *They open the book and see a pony in trouble* Wow.

David:
It says "Rainbow Ponies" from the Rainbow Kingdom. We'd better go. *She nods*

[djlamar2]

They head there and see Twilight Sparkle tending to the pony

Twilight Sparkle:
Get her some water sisters. David we need your help.

David:
I got ya. *Goes over to the injured pony* Hi.

Pony:
Hello. *Groans*

David:
Don't get up. What's your name?

Pony:
Midnight Crystal. Listen there's no time. A dark pony has taken over our palace. *Sunstar comes in and she screams* That's her. Get her away.

Sunstar:
What? I didn't do anything.

David:
You must be mistaken. She's not this dark pony you speak of. She's golden.

Midnight Crystal:
Oh. Sorry. She looks a lot like her.

David:
Wait. Did she tell you what her name was?

Midnight Crystal:
Dark Star.

Twilight Sparkle:
But that's impossible. We killed her. *Laughter is heard*

Sunstar:
No way.

Dark Star:
*Appearing* Oh Sunstar I'm home.

David:
How?

Dark Star:
Oh come come now. Not even a magical princess can get rid of me. Oh yeah by the way. *Holds up a lamp*

David:
You wouldn't.

Dark Star:
I would. *Rubs it and Wizacus appears*

Wizacus:
HEEEEEEREEEEEE'SSSSS WIZACUS!

Dark Star:
And don't bother fighting me. Only the 7 from the prophecy can defeat me. *She leaves*

[djlamar2]

David looks puzzled as they stand there

David:
Seven? Seven heroes?

Twilight Sparkle:
I was thinking. Maybe she means the elements of harmony.

Applejack:
But there's only six. *Suddenly rumbling can be felt*

Twilight Sparkle:
It feels like Ponyland is falling apart.

Sunstar:
Its starting. Dark Star must be trying to break the crystal that keeps our world intact.

Celestia:
*Flying in frantically* Did you feel that?

David:
Yes. Midnight Crystal what did Dark Star do?

Midnight Crystal:
She took the six rainbow keys.

David:
Rainbow Keys?

Midnight Crystal:
Its said that when Ponyland is in trouble the six chosen will do something hard. Then a seventh will arise.

David:
*Looking at his book as it glows* Tree of Harmony?

Celestia:
That's where we got the Elements of Harmony. Follow me. *They follow her to the Everfree Forest*

David:
This is where you found the Tree of Harmony? Creepy.

Midnight Crystal:
We made it that way.

David:
Whoa! Whoa! Whoa! I thought that there were no ponies here before you guys got here. Minus the ponies that settled here before you did.

Midnight Crystal:
That's true. But we're no ordinary ponies. *She heals herself* You have passed my test. *She changes her form into a pony with rainbow colored mane and body*

David:
Whoa! *Looking at her* She almost looks like you Celestia.

Celestia:
Yeah but she has powers that surpass even an alicorn. *They enter a grove with a tree* Sit down everyone. *They do* Good thing Shining Armor is watching Baby Celestia. This tree is the Tree of Harmony. Me and Luna took the Elements to stop an evil being.... *Fluttershy clears her throat* Sorry I mean reformed evil being by the name of Discord. He was gonna create havoc. We beat him. But then something happened I hadn't counted on. Luna my sister became jealous of me. She turned into Nightmare Moon. *Her eyes fill with tears as she continues* I had to banish her into the moon. I thought she'd stay in there for 1,000 years but the magic wasn't powerful enough.

Twilight Sparkle:
2 years after we defeated the doomsday seed Celestia wanted us to go find the Elements of Harmony. We defeated her. She was once again Luna.

David:
That makes sense. For those 2 years we were gone I saw something happening. But for some reason the portal had closed.

Celestia:
That was my doing. Knowing my sister would create havoc I didn't want humans involved. I didn't want anyone getting hurt. *David nods*

[djlamar2]

David:
Midnight Crystal can we see your kingdom?

Midnight Crystal:
Sure but I must warn you. Its in shambles.

Twilight Sparkle:
Where's it at?

Midnight Crystal:
Past the Everfree Forest.

Celestia:
I've looked everywhere in and out of the Everfree Forest and I don't see a kingdom.

Midnight Crystal:
That's because its hidden. In the clouds.

Rainbow Dash:
Whoa, whoa whoa. I've flew past the Everfree Forest about a thousand times and not once have I seen a kingdom.

Midnight Crystal:
Because it can't be seen by ordinary ponies or pegasi.

Twilight Sparkle:
What about magical princess ponies?

Midnight Crystal:
Same. We hide it so no enemies can come in. But Dark Star found it.

David:
How did that happen?

Midnight Crystal:
The path to our kingdom can be seen fully by anyone after a rainstorm.

Twilight Sparkle:
It did rain today.

Midnight Crystal:
That's when a rainbow appears. *They walk out and they all oh* There's the rainbow path. It leads to our kingdom. *She hunches over in pain and screams*

David:
Midnight Crystal?

Midnight Crystal:
Its coming. *She screams even louder*

David:
*Looks down as bloody water comes out* She's having a baby. Give her some room. *They do* Your gonna be fine. *She screams* Oh boy.

Megan:
What's wrong?

David:
I need a knife, something to put in her mouth, and a blanket quick. Midnight Crystal I'm gonna do a C-section on you. *Jessica comes up* Jessica I'm gonna need your help. *She nods*

Jessica:
I came as soon as I saw the book glow. *Celestia comes back with supplies*

David:
Midnight Crystal bite down on this. And whatever you do don't look down.

Jessica:
Honey. We might lose the baby.

David:
Not gonna let that happen. *He puts it in her mouth* When you feel any pain just bite down as hard as you can. *He cuts her open and she screams through the toy in her mouth and starts kicking her legs* Someone hold her legs down. I don't want to be kicked. *They do* Celestia I forgot to ask you to bring....

Celestia:
A needle and thread? Way ahead of you. *Hands them to them*

David:
Alright I'm going in. *He grabs ahold of something and pulls out a newborn baby pony who's crying* Its a girl Midnight Crystal. She's just like her mama. What a set of lungs she has.

[djlamar2]

He brings her baby to her

David:
Why didn't you tell us you were pregnant?

Midnight Crystal:
*Finally able to talk after he takes the toy out of her mouth while Jessica sews her shut* I forgot. Besides she wasn't due till next week. *Looks at Sunstar again and notices something about her* Wait. She's a golden alicorn?

David:
Yeah. After defeating Dark Star awhile back she turned into a golden alicorn.

Midnight Crystal:
The prophecy said something about a golden alicorn. It said "A seventh shall rise in a golden hue. That with horn and wings too".

Sunstar:
But that's impossible. I brought ruin as Dark Star.

David:
Stranger things have happened. A unicorn that was once a princess as a baby, Bezim not being evil. And let's not forget our friend Skydancer who came here on a pilgrimage. *A familiar voice is heard*

Skydancer:
Someone call my name? *She appears*

David:
Skydancer. Good to see you. Listen can I ask you something?

Skydancer:
Sure friend.

David:
How exactly did anyone find this "Tree of Harmony"?

Skydancer:
It was written on the rock formation in the grove where I found it.

David:
Interesting. Well if we're going to Rainbow Palace.... wait is that what its called Midnight Crystal?

Midnight Crystal:
Close. Rainbow Princess Palace.

David:
Awesome. Anyway you can't walk in your condition Midnight Crystal. Or fly.

Midnight Crystal:
That I cannot do.

David:
*Snaps his fingers* Spike. Princess Sparkle I am asking this as a royal favor. Go and get Spike from the mystical palace.

Twilight Sparkle:
Got ya.

Midnight Crystal:
Who's Spike?

David:
A dragon. But no need to worry. He's very nice.

Midnight Crystal:
I can believe that. We used to have dragons when we came through here.

[djlamar2]

Twilight Sparkle comes back with Spike

Spike:
I hear you need my help.

David:
We do buddy. Listen you need to be careful because your gonna have a newborn on board....

Spike:
Say no more. I've done it before when I had to help Twilight Sparkle with the triplets. *He crouches down to let Midnight Crystal on*

Midnight Crystal:
Thanks Spike. You know you look very familiar. Are you a descendant of someone?

Spike:
I am. But I don't like talking about it. He was a tyrant.

Midnight Crystal:
I see. Well descendant of a tyrant or not your very nice.

Spike:
Thanks *Blushes*

David:
Aw Spike's blushing.

Spike:
Yeah.

They head up the rainbow to her kingdom

David:
So this is your kingdom

Midnight Crystal:
Yes it is. *A few more ponies are seen hiding* Come out everyone. Their friends.

Pony:
Midnight Crystal are you sure?

Midnight Crystal:
Yes Sparkle Wave I am. 1 of them is 1 of the famed magical princesses. *They all come out* Where's the babies?

Magical Jewel:
In the nursery. Midnight Crystal you knew that it was dangerous even with you being pregnant. *She holds out a newborn pony* She's here. *She squees* I'm an aunt. What's her name?

Midnight Crystal:
I think the 1 who delivered her should name her.

David:
Baby Midnight Crystal sound okay? *She nods* About the rainbow keys?

Sparkle Wave:
You told them of the prophecy?

Midnight Crystal:
Yes. I had to. The golden 1 looks like she could be the fabled seventh.

Magical Jewel:
But those are fairytales sis.

Midnight Crystal:
But what of the dark 1? That wasn't a fairytale. The 1 said to be defeated by the element of grace?

Celestia:
The element of grace. *Gasps* I've heard of that. Our prophecies also talk of this such element.

Magical Jewel:
The prophecy goes, "A dark 1 and a golden 1 will be split in 2. Then the dark 1 will return and ravage the rainbow kingdom. All hope will seem lost."

Celestia:
"Then the 6 chosen ponies will give up their powers to save a tree."

Twilight Sparkle:
Which we did.

Celestia:
"Then a box will appear and only 6 will set the powers free. Then a seventh shall rise with a golden hue"

Celestia and Midnight Crystal:
"With horn and wings too."

Sunstar:
But princess I brought destruction upon Ponyland. How can we be sure its me?

Magical Jewel:
True. We had heard of you destroying Ponyland.

Twilight Sparkle:
Yeah but just as the prophecy foretold they did split. We defeated her and she came back.

[djlamar2]

Meanwhile Dark Star is with Wizacus thinking of wishes to make

Dark Star:
I wish that Sunstar was dead.

Wizacus:
Sorry against the rules.

Dark Star:
What rules?

Wizacus:
Being a genie I have to go by the rules. Can't kill anyone, can't make them fall in love and can't bring anyone back from the dead. Oh yeah and don't let my lamp be destroyed. My lamp gets destroyed I die. Think of it as my heart.

Dark Star:
Well what about Wishing Star? She could bring people back from the dead. Wasn't she some form of a genie?

Wizacus:
*Growls* Don't you get it? She was a staff that could grant wishes. Not a genie. Besides haven't you heard her tale?

Dark Star:
Oh yeah. How she's a descendant of the phoenix unicorn clan.

Wizacus:
So other than killing people what do you really want? I can give you anything you want as long as its in the genie code.

Dark Star:
You know I was thinking. This place I'm in is kinda pretty. I HATE PRETTY! I wish for it to be a darker color.

Wizacus:
Your wish is my command. *The palace of crystal is now a darker color*

Mortiana:
*In a cage* You'll never get away with this Dark Star. Megan and David will stop you.

Wizacus:
Shut up you.

Dark Star:
Oh I'll be ready for them.

Wizacus:
You know. I hate being a genie. If by the time we reach your third wish do you think we can free me from my prison?

Dark Star:
Play your cards right and consider it done.

[djlamar2]

Back at the rainbow palace

Midnight Crystal:
Now that you know our plight do you think you could help us?

David:
We've dealt with Dark Star and Wizacus before.

Sunstar:
But Wizacus is a genie. How do you defeat an all powerful genie?

David:
Ever seen Aladdin?

Sunstar:
No.

David:
There was a villain named Jafar who was tricked into wishing to be a genie. He got it. Everything he wanted but just like Wizacus he was too power hungry to realize that being a genie has its disadvantages.

Megan:
Then in "Return of Jafar" which I thought wasn't as good as Aladdin he comes back with a new villain named Obismall. They tried to stop Aladdin and get rid of him. But Aladdin's friend pointed out his 1 weakness. You destroy the lamp you destroy the genie.

David:
So if we destroy Wizacus' lamp. Say it with me....

Everyone:
We destroy Wizacus. *Rumbling is heard*

David:
Oh man. That quake was big. *Twilight Sparkle gasps*

Twilight Sparkle:
Mortiana just contacted me. Dark Star has taken over the crystal palace.

David:
But without the rainbow keys....

Magical Jewel:
*Interrupting* Actually sis. The keys she grabbed weren't the real keys. Follow me. *They head into a shrine* Here we are.

Twilight Sparkle:
You sneaks. You hid them?

Magical Jewel:
We thought ahead. *Opens a door* Here you go. *They see them and as each 1 gets near a key they glow*

Twilight Sparkle:
I can feel it. Their calling us. Fluttershy you did something hard when you told the breezies to leave.

Fluttershy:
I knew it. *The key now becomes like her cutie mark*

Twilight Sparkle:
Rarity when you stood up for us you shone.

Rarity:
I couldn't let her bring my friends down. *The key now becomes like her cutie mark*

Twilight Sparkle:
Rainbow Dash when you decided not to go with the Wonder Bolts you showed loyalty.

Rainbow Dash:
You got that right. *The key becomes like her cutie mark*

Twilight Sparkle:
Applejack when you showed everyone that the Flim Flam brothers elixir wasn't really magic you showed true honesty.

Applejack:
I knew that was fake. *The key becomes like her cutie mark*

David:
Twilight Sparkle you haven't done anything hard yet. *She takes her key but it doesn't change*

Twilight Sparkle:
Guess it'll unlock when its ready. Let's go.

They head to the tree of harmony but are stopped by

Dark Star:
Heheheheh. I knew you'd come here. Wizacus I wish to have ultimate power.

Wizacus:
You got it. *He grants her wish and now she is covered in a black aura and turns into a giant*

Dark Star:
Now let's see you beat me. *She picks David up* You dare try to beat me again and he gets it.

David:
Twilight Sparkle. Do it. Don't worry about me.

Twilight Sparkle:
Let him go Dark Star. *Discord is now seen* Discord.

Discord:
In the flesh. If there's anyone who's gonna cause chaos Dark Star it'll be me. Well it would be me if it weren't for my friend Fluttershy. *She hits him and he falls to the ground and Twilight Sparkle has had enough*

Twilight Sparkle:
YOU! *Coming up on her* FIRST YOU TRY TO KILL MY BEST FRIEND DAVID! NOW YOU HURT DISCORD MY OTHER FRIEND! THAT'S IT! *Suddenly her key shines and turns into her cutie mark* LET MY FRIENDS DOWN OR ELSE!

Dark Star:
Fine. But there's no hope. Even if you get to the tree of harmony your world is doomed. *She puts David down*

Twilight Sparkle:
BOTH OF THEM!

Dark Star:
Why? He's the Lord of Chaos.

Twilight Sparkle:
SO?! PEOPLE CAN CHANGE! I BELIEVE THAT! *She puts him down*

David:
*Gasping for air* Sparkle.

Twilight Sparkle:
Don't talk.

David:
But look. *She looks at the key*

Twilight Sparkle:
But how?

David:
When you stood up for me and Discord it changed. You did something hard.

[djlamar2]

Twilight Sparkle:
What do you think girls? Do you think it'll unlock the box?

Mane 6:
Yeah.

Dark Star:
You're not going anywhere.

Sunstar:
*Standing in front of her* Go.

Twilight Sparkle:
But you'll die.

Sunstar:
I'll be fine. *They head in*

Twilight Sparkle:
Okay here goes. *They place the keys into the slots and suddenly a beam of light is seen and hits each of them giving them a new look except the seventh beam which heads outside* Where's that 1 going?

Back outside Dark Star is getting the upper hand

Dark Star:
What's wrong Sunstar? Too much for ya?

Sunstar:
I won't give up! *Suddenly the seventh beam hits her and she gets a new look*

Dark Star:
It... it can't be.

Sunstar:
Oh..... yeah. *The mane 6 comes out and look at her in awe*

Celestia:
*Flying in* Sunstar is the seventh chosen pony.

Dark Star:
No matter. I will beat you. *She lunges at them*

Sunstar:
Oh yeah. *A beam is seen and Dark Star is taken back*

Dark Star:
NO WAY! SHE CAN'T BE THE SEVENTH!

Twilight Sparkle:
When she forgave herself years ago for the destruction of Ponyland she truly showed grace. Behold the seventh element of harmony. The element of grace. *They glow brighter and a beam is shot out and it engulfs her and she is completely gone*

Wizacus:
I'll destroy the crystal. *Laughs evilly as he opens Ponyland* Now what are ponies gonna do? *Holding the crystal over the pool of lava that is below* No crystal.... No Ponyland. *Suddenly Discord comes flying at him but he knocks him down with magic* Now what?

[djlamar2]

Twilight Sparkle tries to fly in but the heat is too much

Wizacus:
Poor Twilight. Unable to stop.... *Discord smirks as he knocks Wizacus' lamp in* Nooooooooo!!!!!

David:
Score 1 for the team. *He explodes* Yeah. *Twilight Sparkle lifts Discord up out of the pit* That was very foolish of you Discord. *Hugs him* But very brave. *Suddenly a blue unicorn appears* Who is that?

Crystal Wave:
1 minute I'm facing Wizacus. The next I'm here.

Wishing Star:
*Coming out* Husband? Is that you?

Crystal Wave:
Hey girl. *She runs up and hugs him* What was that for?

David:
Nice to meet you Crystal Wave.

Crystal Wave:
Can someone explain what's going on? Who is this?

Wishing Star:
I'll explain later.

Inside Wishing Star explains everything

Crystal Wave:
I see. I guess when you destroyed Wizacus the spell on me broke.

Celestia:
Yes. Sunstar thanks for all your help today.

Sunstar:
Thanks.

Midnight Crystal:
Hopefully our world will return back to normal soon. *Discord can be heard screaming*

Discord:
Ouch. Not so tight.

Fluttershy:
Sorry but you want your body to heal right? *She says wrapping his wings*

Discord:
Yes.

Fluttershy:
*Giggling* Then you gotta sit still silly.

David:
Another villain defeated. And a new friend.

Meanwhile something is happening to Twilight Sparkle outside

Twilight Sparkle:
I feel funny.

Tyrak:
*From inside her* Just you wait little ponies. You'll pay for defeating me twice. *He laughs evilly*

What is going on? What does Tyrak have planned for Twilight Sparkle? Find out in the six part story: Twilight's only hope

The end.
