Chapter Text
"WAIT—THERE'S A PONY INSIDE!" Were the last words every pony heard before the Princess Of Friendship was last seen as herself again.
The conversation of Twilight and the Pony Of Shadows—err,Stygian—was... noticably long,and while listening,Starswirl The Bearded heard the sentence he couldn't expect from the purple mare.
Twilight shakily inhaled a breath as she thought of only one thing to save Stygian,get the shadows passed onto her.
"Transfer me the shadows." The purple alicorn firmly told the pony infront of her.
"Are...are you actually sure Twilight? These aren't ordinary shadows,they may control your actions like how it did with mine." The gray pony infront of her carefully told her.
"I..I'll do it if it means saving you from it." The alicorn gently replied with a small soft smile plastered on her face.
Everything became a blur of yelling,pleading,and concern.
All was chaos until a certain purple alicorn dropped to the ground.
"TWILIGHT!" The mane 6 and starlight yelped in unison,while the pillars and Stygian was just taken aback from what events recently occured.
The mane 6 and starlight then quickly rushed towards the unconscious princess, expecting her to be okay and not injured.
"Twi!" Starlight called desperately as she tried to wake up the princess under her.
"Twi...please wake up.." the unicorn tried to shake her awake to no avail.
"She's gon' be fine,sugar cube..." Applejack rested a hoof around the very concerned unicorns shoulder.
"My goodness...What happened to her hooves?!" Rarity slowly grasped Twilights hoof,it was different—very different.
Every pony looked at the unconscious alicorn infront of them more closely now,black gradients reaching until her supposed knees,the gradients also were on the princesses wings,just at the end of the feathers that is similar to Princess Cadances wings—just black gradients instead.
"I...I suppose that is one of the side effects of Twilight Sparkles decision." The bearded unicorn spoke up.
"Well,what do you mean?!" A blue pegasus got right in his face, obviously fuming.
"Rainbow Dash!" Applejack immediately bit the blue mare's rainbow colored tail and brought her to the ground to keep her restrained.
"Ugh!—what do we do now?! Twilight is obviously not fine AJ!" Rainbow remarked instantly.
"I uhm...We can just hope twilights okay..yelling isn't really working for our situation right now...and twilight wouldn't want us fighting..." A certain yellow pegasus suggested.
"Fluttershy's right..and,we just need to get back to the castle to treat Twilight from... whatever she has now." Starlight added.
The walk back at the castle was somehow shorter as everyones focus was on the unconscious princess, every pony was still processing what happened and no pony dared to start a conversation until Starlight spoke up.
"...What do we tell the princesses?" She started,her voice wavering a bit. "I mean—we can't just tell them that Twilight is probably possessed now..", Applejack glanced at Starlights face, noticing how nervous and worried the unicorn felt.
"Like Fluttershy said Starlight,we can just hope she's fine." She assured the unicorn gently, "..But Twi actually looks 20% cooler right now." The blue pegasus whispered to pinkie who was somehow walking and not bouncing like usual.
Back at the castle,the other princesses were notified of what had happened to the princess of friendship—Celestia and Luna were already rushing to go to ponyville,and when every pony just returned to the castle,the two sisters were already there, looking extremely worried.
"We came as soon as we heard,where is my pupil?" Celestia immediately asked the mane 6.
"She's rightttttt here!" Pinkie bounced inside and pointed her hoof at the door and entered the purple alicorn being levitated by magic.
"Oh my goodness...what has happened to her wings and hooves?" Luna asked curiously.
"That's the thing Princess Luna,Starswirl suggested that it may be a side effect when Twi let the shadows get transferred onto her or something.." Starlight answered.
"Well, whatever the cause is—she needs rest first." The princess of the sun told them softly.
"I...I still can't believe that she would do that for me..after everything I've done to Equestria,a pony still did that for me?..." Stygian remarked while still in shock.
"That's Twi for ye'." Applejack smiled sadly.
