Scene 3.0: ???, 9:02 AM, Day 92 of 365
Shadow looks around the dimension "Eris" brought him in and easily deduces that it's a condensed pocket dimension. A type of reality designed to only house the host and anycreature of their choosing. Just then, the dimension starts to resemble the inside of Discord's Cottage only with pictures on the wall with her parents and for some reason, both "Eris" and Melodious' Colors don't resemble on how they look like today as well as the shape of their eyes. Shadow is surprised at first, but then he just scoffs and smiles as he knows why this is the case.
Shadow:
Nice pocket dimension. Judging by the tailor details, I taught you how to create this place, didn't I?
"Eris":
(Sad Smile)
You are the best teacher a girl could ask for.
Shadow:
You brought me here for a confession.
"Eris":
Looks like you have always been this direct. Yeah, I did. I know you told me in the future not to say anything to anycreature, but…
(Saddened)
…I feel so alone, I feel like I'm suffocating. I need to trust on somecreature with what I know. I'm sorry.
Shadow:
(Smiling)
I understand. Not everyone can stand being alone. Some like me can because we are used to it, but no one should be all alone. I bet my Future-Self understands that.
After hearing that, "Eris" can't hold it in any longer as she starts bawling her eyes out, she stops being a Draconequus and turns into an Alicorn resembling the one in the wall-mounted pictures which confirms Shadow's assumption: "Eris" was born an Alicorn and Melodious was born a Draconequus as he can imagine why everything turned out as it did. After "Eris" calms down, Shadow gets a closer look at her and notices that she looks exactly like Celestia except that she has Discord's Eyes which brings a smile to his face as he is starting to understand why he chose her as his student. In order to speed up her recovery, Shadow gives "Eris" a glass of her favorite strawberry milk.
"Eris" [???]:
Thank you, Uncle Shadow…
Shadow:
I'm glad you are feeling better, kiddo. I know you might not feel 100%, but you brought me here to tell me everything.
Serenity ["Eris"]:
Let's start with my real name, it's Serenity.
Shadow:
I'm guessing Discord came up with it.
Serenity:
(Sad Smile, Nods)
He did. Even though it was sis that was born a Draconequus, I heard he really was happy for us, that he asked that he could hold me for our first picture together on that day.
(Gives Shadow Birth Picture)
Shadow:
Both Discord and Celestia look very happy. But…
(Laughing)
…They also look very stressed!
Serenity:
(Ashamed Smile)
Yeah…I heard that Mama was in a lot of pain that she was screaming…
(Transforms Into Celestia, Angry, In Pain, Stressed)
"It's your fault! You did this to me!"
(Reverts Back)
Then Papa replies…
(Transforms Into Discord, Worried, Annoyed, Stressed)
"It's your fault too! It was consensual, you know!"
(Reverts Back)
Shadow:
(Laughing Hysterically)
I'm going to enjoy seeing that when it happens!
Serenity:
(Thinking)
I'm sorry, Uncle Shadow…but you won't be in Equestria when me and sis are born.
(Out Loud, Sad Smile)
I'm glad you are looking forward to it. Not to spoil it for you, I'm not going to show it. I can show you something else about our childhood.
Shadow:
Be discreet about it. I'm not allowed to know too much of the future, remember?
Serenity:
I'll try.
Scene 3.1: Twilight Valley, 1:56 PM, 10 Years Into The Future
Serenity closes her eyes and makes a recreation of Shadow meeting her and her twin sister on their 10th birthday at their home of "Twilight Valley", a special location created to honor the memory of Princess Twilight Sparkle who tragically passed away protecting Equestria from an ancient evil beyond all realities. In this valley, Children of both Chaos and Harmony can live together in Peace after the end of a destructive war. The leader of this small village is Starflash Phoenixdust, A Pegasus-Unicorn Survivor, now an Alicorn from an Alternate Reality that fought alongside the heroes of this reality during the Chaos Wars. Shadow notices that the colts and fillies are excited to see his future self as he is impressed on how cool he'll looks wearing his regalia when he's older and distinguished with the scar across his right eye.
Everycreature:
(Excited)
Shadow-Sama!!!
(Future) Shadow:
(Smiling)
Hey-O Kiddos! Happy Birthday, Princesses!
(Kid) Radiant Harmony, (Kid) Serenity:
Thank You, Uncle Shadow!
(Future) Shadow:
As you well know, when you were entering Magical Kindergarten I was indisposed because I was getting ready to be a Co-Ruler of Equestria.
(Kid) Radiant Harmony:
We understand, Uncle Shadow. You did fought in multiple wars. You deserve a little R&R after years of fighting.
(Future) Shadow:
You are always too kind, Harmony. As I was saying…I came here to take one of you as my student at the request of your parents. How surprising it is for all of us that Serenity has a higher affinity to Chaos Magic than Harmony especially that Serenity is an Alicorn and Radiant is a Draconequus.
(Kid) Radiant Harmony:
(Saddened)
Oh…So I'm not going to be your student?
(Future) Shadow:
I'm sorry, Kiddo. Just like your cousin…my son, I can't take him as a student because of his nonexistent affinity to Chaos Magic. He is however, just like his mother, able to switch his alignments between Darkness and Light. But don't worry. Luster has been appointed to be your teacher.
(Kid) Serenity:
(Saddened)
But Uncle Shadow—
(Future) Celestia:
Now girls. You know why your uncle cannot take you both. During the last few Wars of Equestria, Shadow has been in the Chaotic Void longer than he should have. He might be the Element of Life, but his Harmony Magic is greatly diminished. He cannot summon Harmony Magic anymore. Your Uncle is technically Pure Chaos, just like your father. Although not completely.
(Future) Shadow:
(Serious Yet Sad Look)
Your mother is right, girls. I'm sorry. Harmony needs a teacher that can wield the power I can't. The reason your parents chose your name because of your overwhelming amount of Harmony Magic that it's radiant. Serenity's name was chosen because she was exceptionally calm when she was born.
(Sad Chuckle)
This reminds me on how my mother named me when I was born.
(Clears Throat, Smiling)
Anyhoo…! We'll be spending lots of time, Serenity. Just to let you know, when I'm the teacher, I can be a very harsh taskmaster.
===========================
Serenity:
But you weren't. You were the kindest teacher I ever had.
Shadow:
What about Cheerilee? Isn't she still teaching?
Serenity:
She eloped with her husband after the end of Chaos War III.
Shadow:
(Warm Smile)
So she finally got over Big Mac marrying Sugar Belle. So…who did she end up with?
Serenity:
(Nervous Smile)
You wouldn't believe me if I told you.
Shadow:
Try me.
Serenity:
Bulk Biceps.
Shadow:
Huh…I'll be brutally honest, I'm not surprised.
Serenity:
(Shocked)
Really!? Everycreature I talked to said they couldn't believe it!
Shadow:
(Annoyed Sigh)
I always knew those 2 would get together. Most Females are not only attracted to well-built Males, but also driven, multi-talented and ambitious creatures…even if they are a tad slow upstairs or incredibly loud. I think I know why that happened. Let's start with Bulk Biceps. Bulk Biceps dated Octavia Melody and we know that underneath all of that regal, high-class demeanor, she suffers from anger issues. Those anger issues are part of her inability to keep control of her surroundings and she also have a competitive edge to her as she doesn't want to lose to anyone, which also fuels it. Bulk Biceps likes the "Assertive-Mare-With-A-Plan" Types, but Octavia is not that and that led to their breakup after their dating time.
Serenity:
Cheerilee is the "Assertive-Mare-With-A-Plan" Mare?
Shadow:
She is to some extent. From what I know, Cheerilee really was interested in Big Mac because he was a hard working Stallion, but those are rare to find these days. But Bulk Biceps might be a very slow Pegasus, he is a Stallion with a Very, Very Lengthy Résumé, making him a very hardworking pony that has worn many hats throughout his life. Of course, Cheerilee is, as I mentioned an Assertive Mare now, so she can be happy with Bulk Biceps.
Serenity:
What do you mean by "Now"?
Shadow:
Cheerilee was not a Strong Mare before Big Mac & Sugar Belle's Wedding. Afterward however, she became jaded, bitter and depressed thinking that she thought that she would never find anyone like Big Mac that she was about to give up on love. I get the feeling she and Bulk Biceps met some time after the wedding and she saw how hardworking he is. So…that's how they got together…
(Confused)
…I think…
Serenity:
You…think?
Shadow:
After being around her, I noticed that she's a little different from the stories I've been told. The one who is assertive in her family is her twin sister, Cherry Blossom because she's a Pro Wrestler in the E.H.W. But I know better than anyone that when you go through a very deep regret in life, it has the power to change you either for the best or for the worst depending on their experience.
Serenity:
(Sad Laughter)
Shadow:
Did I say something odd?
Serenity:
You told me and sis the exact thing when—
(Shocked)
…The Exact…
Shadow:
I see and I also noticed you figured out something you didn't noticed before.
Serenity:
(Saddened)
You'll understand as we continue watching.
===========================
Scene 3.2: Twilight Valley [Hedge-Maze Garden], 8:31 AM, 10 Years Into The Future
Shadow is giving Serenity her lessons in Chaos Magic inside the Hedge-Maze Garden as this location possesses a large amount of Chaos Magic, because this is the location Shadow's Daughters from alternate realities were facing off against Princess Twilight Murderer. Serenity struggles to channel it as there is a large amount of Anger, Fear, Hatred, Resentment, Distrust and Deep Sorrow is felt all around them and most of it coming from 1 of his daughters, Twilight Shadowspark who at that time, was in complete turmoil. Serenity collapses on the ground, breathing heavily and sweating buckets as the amount of chaos energy around them feels too much to take in. Shadow gives Serenity a glass of Strawberry Milk to help her get back to her hooves.
(Future) Shadow:
Feeling better, kiddo?
(Kid) Serenity:
(Shocked)
How could Aunt Shadowspark summon so much dark energy? She's the smartest, coolest and gentle mare I know.
(Future) Shadow:
Seeing your mother die in front of you for a second time can summon a lot of negative emotions, no matter how pure-hearted you are. It's worse when she found out that it was their half-sister that ended Princess Twilight Sparkle's Life.
(Kid) Serenity:
(Saddened)
Oh…I hope they both are at peace in Elysium.
(Future) Shadow:
I…I hope so too. That daughter…who took the Princess' life…I blame my counterpart for not being a responsible father. Mine is an idiot, but he did tried to be responsible. My counterpart just eloped in a polygamy marriage which was really stupid. My father was reasonable enough to wait for his 5 stages of Grief to pass before my twin siblings were born, but COME ON!!!
(Kid) Serenity:
Are you doing alright?
(Future) Shadow:
I'm fine. A parent isn't supposed to bury their children, but that day…I was forced to do it because my counterpart did everything I hate…everything I blamed my own father of doing at one point in my life. Imagine how my son and wife felt…When you go through a very deep regret in life, it has the power to change you either for the best or for the worst depending on their experience.
(Kid) Serenity:
Uncle Shadow…
(Future) Shadow:
Don't worry your pretty little head. I'm just glad neither you or your sister were here to see it and your parents kept you both safe in a location that no one could find you. Krystal was losing her mind since she gave birth to her daughter, trying to keep her safe.
(Kid) Serenity:
What about Uncle Limbo?
(Future) Shadow:
Being the Anti-Hero he's always been. He reminds me of Uchiha Sasuke's Relationship with his own wife and daughter. Actually, their daughter and adopted child act like my mom and Aunt Spiffy in their youth.
(Kid) Serenity:
(Confused)
Uchiha…? Who are those?
(Future) Shadow:
You'll meet them one day just like I did.
(Kid) Serenity:
(Amazed, Excited)
You mean I will be Reality-Hopping when I'm older!?
(Future) Shadow:
(Annoyed, Sweating)
Shh!!! Keep it down! Last thing I need is your parents breathing down my neck.
??? (Starlight's Voice):
(Teasing Voice-Tone)
Hmm? Papa and Serenity keeping secrets? For shame.
??? (Twilight's Voice):
(Teasing Voice-Tone)
Oooh! I think we should tell on them. It is the right thing to do.
(Future) Shadow:
So you want your dear Papa to spend the next following years in the void? Shadowspark? Shadowrush?
Twilight Shadowspark, Starlight Shadowrush:
(Smiling)
Yes!
(Kid) Serenity:
(Giggling)
(Future) Shadow:
Funny. What are you doing here? Aren't you supposed to be working on your own projects?
Shadowspark:
Got bored and I wanted to see my cute little brother!
Shadowrush:
I have my clone doing it and wanted to see how you were doing, Papa.
(Future) Shadow:
And what about you, Starflash?
Starflash Phoenixdust:
(Gulp, Comes Out Of Hiding From Hedge-Maze, Disappointed Sigh)
How did you know!?
(Future) Shadow:
You might be a True Alicorn now, but your Magical Aura is too easy to sense. I remember when we first met, you were a clone of the Mane 6 and a Pegasus-Unicorn that many thought you were an Alicorn. Originally your aura was pretty hard to sense since you were 6 of the most prominent ponies in 1. But after you became an Alicorn, you became your own self.
Starflash:
I'm that easy to sense now?
(Future) Shadow:
(Smiling)
Nope! Alicorn Magic is not that easy to sense, but you are just that easy to tease.
Starflash:
(Annoyed)
NOW YOU ARE BEING MEAN!!!
(Future) Shadow:
What are you doing here? I know my daughters are here to make fun of me, but you have other reasons.
Starflash:
I'm here because I'm a little protective of Serenity.
(Future) Shadow:
Because she's the daughter of your teacher. Did you visit Luster and Harmony?
Starflash:
I don't need to worry about Luster. After all, she was Twilight's Student. I'm sure things will be fine.
(Future) Shadow:
Did you read up on the "First Chaos War" Blight Terror brought? The one you and the girls didn't take part in?
Starflash:
I was busy getting used to this reality.
Shadowspark:
Sis and me were busy spending time with our cute little brother.
Shadowrush:
I could love him to pieces!
(Future) Shadow:
And you, Starflash are supposed to be the clone of all 6 Elements of Harmony in 1, you are supposed to be up-to-date on everything that has happened. And you two! As your father, I am very disappointed in you. Your mothers always did their homework on the historical subject presented to them…
(Whispering)
…of course they had a bad habit in cutting corners while doing so…
(Clears Throat, Out Loud)
…but you have to live up to their legacy.
Shadowspark, Shadowrush:
(Saddened)
Sorry, Papa. But "Mooney" Is So Cute!
(Future) Shadow:
(Annoyed Sigh)
You do realize your brother hates that nickname.
Shadowspark, Shadowrush:
(Amused Shrug)
Alrighty then, but don't come crying to us one day when his friends come up with a far worse nickname for him.
(Future) Shadow:
(Looks At Daughters With Doubt)
Déjà Vu. My mom and my aunt had the same conversation back in their youth. What a coincidence.
Shadowspark, Shadowrush:
(Nervous Smile, Sweating)
Whatever do you mean, Papa?
(Future) Shadow:
(Annoyed)
I'm going to have a very long talk with your Aunts Wendy and Regalia later. Still…back to you, Serenity. Mastering the Chaos Magic from this area here is rough, but is also easier.
(Kid) Serenity:
How? It is rough, but how is it easier at the same time?
(Future) Shadow:
Chaos Magic is supposed to be like that for those who want to stay sane. Unfiltered Chaos Magic has the power to warp one's mind and making them reach the point of insanity. Once that happens, it will take a very long time for them to go back to how they used to be.
(Kid) Serenity:
(Worried, Saddened, Scared)
That…happened to you, Uncle Shadow?
(Future) Shadow:
Yes. I lost myself when I jumped into the Chaotic Void in order to claim my birthright. I was torn from the inside-out, put back together and got torn to pieces again on repeat for a very…very long time. It was a cycle I thought would never end. I lost my mind in the process and since in the Void time moves differently, I suffered that fate for countless millennia until I regained my sanity. I was left jaded after the whole ordeal, but thanks to my friends in Equestria, I was able to regain I thought I lost forever. Unlike my Aunts and Uncles who are like my second parents, I want you to go through this in a far less traumatic way than I did. That's why this location…the place where the Original Platinum Shadow foresaw the birth of the final battle of the Chaos Wars would be revealed. With the deaths of the Most Powerful Alicorn of Harmony and Alicorn of Chaos, we learned where an evil far more powerful than anything in the Cosmos would be confronted. A being whose power rivaled that of Luminescence herself.
Shadowspark:
(Saddened)
Mama…
(Kid) Serenity:
(Saddened)
Okay. I'll try—
(Future) Shadow:
NO! TRY, NOT!! Do Or Do Not! There Is No Try.
===========================
Shadow:
(Furious, Scared, Distressed, Sweating, Nervous, Worried)
HOOOLD OOON THEEERE!!! WHO ARE THOSE GIRLS AND WHY ARE THOSE 2 CALLING ME "PAPA"!?
Serenity:
(Nervous Smile)
Yeah…my Uncle Shadow told me if I decided to tell you about the future, that it was okay to tell you about them. That Black Alicorn with Purple Mane, Emerald Eyes and with a Cutie Mark of a Phoenix Surrounded by Stars and Stardust is Starflash Phoenixdust. She's a clone of Princess Twilight and her friends merged into one. She was created by Alchemus in order to stop an ancient evil from destroying all realities who is just as powerful as Luminescence.
Shadow:
Since I am the Reincarnation of Alchemus in this reality, you mean the Alchemus from Starflash's reality.
Serenity:
Yes. She miraculously escaped an erased dimension a few seconds before it disappeared completely. Her Platinum Shadow forced her into this dimension after the First Chaos War ended. Her Platinum Shadow tells her to warn everycreature, the Gods and Ancients that an ancient evil more terrifying and deadlier will be arriving in this dimension in about 40 years to erase everything and will go on to the next dimension to do the same. But he miscalculated as this Ancient Evil noticed her escape and followed her before those 40 years came to pass.
Shadow:
Let me guess: It Arrived During Chaos War III.
Serenity:
(Sad Nod)
Shadow:
I'm not surprised. Did I hear right? She was a Pegasus-Unicorn then converted to an Alicorn?
Serenity:
Yes. She was born a Unicorn, so Alchemus used a forbidden spell to remove his Pegasus Wings, dissolve them into a forbidden potion and give them to Starflash.
Shadow:
So Alchemus was not me in that reality, but he was also a Pegasus?
Serenity:
Yes.
Shadow:
(Sigh)
I hate it when the Multiverse create realities like this. What about those girls?
Serenity:
They are your counterparts many children. I'm not going into the others and just focus on these 2. The Alicorn that looks like Aunt Twilight, but has your Mane Color is Twilight Shadowspark. She's the daughter of both you and Aunt Twilight.
Shadow:
(Shocked)
Me and the Princess!?!?!?
(Clears Throat)
I'll admit that I look up to her but…Seriously?
Serenity:
From what I heard, he was the 7th Element of Harmony of that reality and fought alongside each other against Nightmare Moon, Discord, Chrysalis, Sombra, Tirek, Starlight Glimmer, Cozy Glow and the Storm King. Actually, you were the same age as everypony else and you were the first meet Twilight and Spike on their way to Ponyville, not Pinkie Pie. You two hated each other, but you got along with Spike so well, you helped him get married to Rarity. You also had a rivalry with Flash Sentry with you being the Bad-Boy-Type and Flash being a Boy-Scout-Type. You won in the end since Twilight is in fact into Bad Boys and Flash couldn't keep up.
Shadow:
Hate to say it, but Flash never had what it took. I think the 2 of them would have been a good couple; but that's just me. I actually feel sorry for the guy. Shadowspark's Cutie Mark...White Sparkles Surrounding A Yellow Lightning Bolt With A Shadow Of A Lightning Bolt Next To It. She must have inherited my competitive personality and the Princess' determination. I like it.
Serenity:
(Sad Smile)
The Alicorn that looks like Aunt Starlight is Starlight Shadowrush.
Shadow:
Looks like my daughters will look like their mothers in most aspects. So how did I, or should I say my counterpart sweep Starlight off her hooves?
Serenity:
You heard your Future-Self, right? Well…that's not the full story.
Shadow:
What can you tell me?
Serenity:
You know how Aunt Twilight helped reform Aunt Starlight?
Shadow:
Why I don't like where this is going?
Serenity:
Well…the one who reformed her was actually the one she fell in love with – You.
Shadow:
(Face-Hoof)
Go on…
Serenity:
She was reformed then and there, but not completely. She did go back to the past to stop every mare to not get their Cutie Mark, but not only because of what happened to her and Sunburst, but on what happened to you…and your mom.
Shadow:
Please don't tell me that Rainbow Dash's Sonic Rainboom is what got my mother killed.
Serenity:
No, it didn't.
Shadow:
Thank you.
Serenity:
Your mother died in agony in her final moments. It was seeing the Sonic Rainboom that gave her the strength to hold back in screaming so it didn't traumatize you. But without it, you mother didn't die in peace.
Shadow:
.........…
Serenity:
In each alternate future when Twilight and Spike returned to the Past, you were working with the villains you helped Aunt Twilight and her friends defeat. In these Futures you were married to Nightmare Moon or Chrysalis depending on said possible Future, you were Cozy Glow's Loyal Knight and lastly you betrayed, murdered and usurped Discord, Sombra, Tirek or the Storm King and became the Ruler of All. In some of those Dark Futures, every prominent female you met along the way became your concubine.
Shadow:
I really don't want to imagine me doing that for obvious reasons.
Serenity:
Yeah…having your Mother-Figures like Tempest and Ember as—
Shadow:
(Furious, Desperate, Disgusted)
STOP! STOP!! STOP!!! DON'T PAINT THAT PICTURE IN MY HEAD!!!
Serenity:
(Nervous Smile)
Sorry…Anyhoo…After Aunt Twilight brought Aunt Starlight to a Future where you become a Titanic Beast wandering the wastelands of Equestria, they were horrified as you destroyed a small village of survivors with a powerful blast of Chaos Magic. You were…The Most Powerful Element of Disharmony: "Death". The sheer blight terror Starlight saw then and there, on how much she loved you; she didn't want this life for you. Aunt Twilight was deeply traumatized seeing you like that, that she finally confessed her feelings to you and finally started dating, but…even though Starlight was fully reformed now, she refused to work with Twilight or become her student as she wanted to Prove to Shadow that she was the only one for him by surpassing Twilight.
Shadow:
I can imagine him being a player.
Serenity:
You don't trust yourself, do you?
Shadow:
Nnnooo…
Serenity:
Well…you are half right…
Shadow:
(Disappointed Sigh)
I knew it…
Serenity:
But the one who made it possible for the Polygamy Marriage was all Ember's Fault.
Shadow:
Wwwhhhyyyy!?
Serenity:
Yeah…you and Aunt Ember in that reality are best friends. Actually you could have—
Shadow:
(Disgusted, Irritated, Spooked)
DON'T YOU DARE FINISH THAT SENTENCE!!!
Serenity:
(Giggling)
I'm so happy I managed to see you like this.
Shadow:
(Annoyed Smile, Death Aura)
Enjoy it while you can, Prin-Cess. Because I won't forget this when you get Back to the Future.
Serenity:
(Gulp, Worried, Sweating)
I'm sorry! Please forgive me!
Shadow:
(Calms Down, Deep Breath & Sigh)
I'll think about it but…
(Sneering)
…pray that I forget this teasing of yours in all of these following years.
Serenity:
I…understand…
Shadow:
I see that you and I have a strong Mentor & Student Relationship. I want to know about Luster and your Twin Sister's Relationship, but I want to know more about the Relationship between You and your Parents first and foremost. After that we will visit your sister's life and how she ended up in this current state of mind.
Serenity:
Can't we—?
Shadow:
Serenity.
Serenity:
(Sad Sigh)
OK…
Scene 3.3: Twilight Valley [Discord's Family Home], 6:45 PM, 10 Years Into The Future
Begrudgingly, Serenity recreates her time in her home on the days her and Radiant Harmony's Training as Shadow notices that Celestia seems a little indifferent, more serious than how he knows her while Discord seems more mature in his mannerism, but he doesn't seem to have lost his smile especially with all of the tragedies they all went through the Last Chaos War that caused the deaths of the many of Equestria's Villains and Heroes alike. Some have ascended to either the Realm of the Ancients and even the Realm of the Gods, while others were Reformed or became Monsters on Par with Grogar's Evil. Serenity looks happy being near her father, but is scared of Celestia as she seems to still mourning the deaths of some of her subjects as well as the Alicorn who was her student, best friend and daughter in some aspects, Twilight Sparkle. Shadow could see her pain without resorting to his Aura Sight; he also notices that Radiant seems exhausted with her training in Harmony Magic. This worries Shadow as he has an idea how hard Luster is pushing the daughter of Discord. He also notices that Celestia is being stern towards Serenity while being a little soft towards Radiant as Shadow can't believe Celestia would resort to favoritism between her daughters. Maybe this is the reason Serenity is indifferent towards her mother and possibly on why Radiant has gone to the Dark Side.
Shadow:
(Saddened, Disappointed Sigh)
Was these so-called Chaos Wars really were that traumatic?
Serenity:
I wasn't there when Aunt Twilight passed away. But my family and me were going to get killed by the current invaders. Papa had to unlock his full power in order to save us after Mama and Sis got hurt by them.
Shadow:
I don't blame him. If someone were to hurt my own flesh and blood, I would lose it myself too. I know you don't want to and I won't force you if you decline but…Can you show it to me?
Serenity:
(Tearing Up)
I need to confront it sooner or later. Might as well do it now.
Shadow:
I'm sorry.
Scene 3.4: Maretime Manor, Countdown To Final Chaos, 5 Years Into The Future
Serenity smiles and shakes her head as she recreates the moment of the day her family were targeted for assassination in their old home. Many Royal Guards protecting them are fighting off the invaders who resemble Cybernetic Creatures killing everything in their path. They were all slaughtered, their screams of pain and agony still ringing in their terrified minds. Suddenly the door is broken down and they noticed that all the death, destruction and carnage that happened there was the work of only one Cybernetic Invader that resembles an Alicorn clad in Red Armor, bragging and boasting that no one can't stand to his might as he seems to be in love with the sound of his own voice; on how he brags that he is an Emperor of Destruction and to prove his worth, he'll end Discord and his family, and claim their magic for his own in order to become the one true leader of his kind. Celestia and Discord stand up to this Evil Cybernetic Alicorn only to not keep up with his cunning, tenacity, speed, power and deception as he manages to overpower Celestia in a brutal fashion that Radiant tries to use her magic to heal her mother; only for this villain to fire a Null-Ray at her. Celestia shields her, but not before piercing her and hitting Radiant too. This awakens a deep rage in Discord that achieve his full power, Perfect Chaos Discord and went on a rampage on this Evil Cybernetic Alicorn that Discord rips off one of the Cyber-Alicorn's legs and starts beating him with it to the point that the invader retreats saying that Discord will regret this insult.
Discord approaches his family, but sees he let himself go too much that he fears how his daughters will react in seeing him in his full power form, but Serenity rush to him and hugs him hard as she cries her eyes out on his shoulder. Discord hugs her back as he knows they have gone through something they shouldn't have this early in life. Celestia regains consciousness and see her husband & Serenity caring for her & Radiant; seeing her Draconequus Daughter lying in bed, made something in Celestia snap as she rushes to Radiant and starts cradling her in her arms. Shadow then remembers something: When the Twins were born, their parents were holding a specific twin and they the imprinted to parent holding them. That is why Serenity loves her father more than her mother and why Celestia favors Radiant over her Alicorn Daughter. Now Shadow understands the situation: Serenity has Mommy Issues and wants her mother, Celestia to pay the same attention to her like she does to Radiant. As for Radiant, Shadow believe the reason for her becoming resentful might be connected to this, but he can't be certain and he doesn't want to jump to conclusions. But from what he has experienced since it all started, Radiant's Motivation might be revenge against the world for not accepting her like her mother have. Shadow believes that whatever happened to Radiant during her training with Luster pushed her to become a Fallen Princess. Learning of what happened between them might some shed light on why she became so resentful. But he knows on how to help the Daughters of Discord; the biggest problem with the solution is that with Radiant's Current State of Mind as Melodious Somber, which her hatred has blinded her from seeing any reason. He hopes to whatever he sees in the sisters' lives with their parents and with Radiant's time with Luster, might give him an idea on how to not only stop Melodious Somber, but reform her back to Radiant Harmony.
To Be Continued...
