>It's been 3 years since Luna vanished
>Celestia sent out guards to search everywhere
>all in vain
>even fans of Luna all around equestria helped
>but there was no trace of her to be found
>eventually Celestia gave up
 
>be Rainbow Dash
>you received some hints at where she could be
"I have to do this Soarin"
>"You have a family now, like all the others, Luna went away on her own."
"I am the element of LOYALITY, and I still feel responsible for letting Anon down"
>"First of all, you WERE the element of loyality, and second, that was years ago, there was nothing you could've done"
"Look I will only be gone a couple of days, if it turns out to be nothing I will return immidiately"
>"You don't plan to go alone, do you?
"DON'T tell the others, they don't need to be reminded of the past, we don't need this all to-"
>"yeah..I get it, but stay safe and take some extra bits and some blankets"
>Soarin starts to put some things together, still going on about how stupid that is and what might happen
>you can't help but smile and let out a little laugh
 
>It’s been a day already since you went out to search for Luna
>You received a note with instructions where to meet up
>A small town at the edge of equestria
>Seems strange, but it is worth a shot
>After flying the whole last day you decided to use the train for once
>It is a good way to get some sleep, you can travel by train during the night and fly during the day
>this way there are no unnecessary stops to be made
>A few hours pass by…
>”Ma’am…You need to get off here”
“W-what..?”
>You slowly awake from your slumber and realize that you have no idea where you are
“OMG DID I MISS IT??”
>The colt that awoke you steps back a little, seemingly frightened by your outburst
“Oh..s-sorry, I didn’t mean to scare you”
>”Well you need to get off now, this is the final station”
“fuck fuck fuck fuck” you think to yourself
>”Well, cursing ain’t gonna help, now please step out”
>Dammit you did not think to yourself
>you make your wait out and into a small town
>It was silent, almost abandoned
>a few ponies here and there
>a forest surrounds the town, almost like the everfree one
“Scary..where the heck am I?”
>You look around and actually find a sign with the towns name
“Downville…yeah I feel pretty down already”
 
“Wait, is that not…”
>You take out the note you received
“Yeah that’s actually the right town, YES”
>you fly up, do a little flip in the air and get back down
>a strange old colt us giving you the wtf-stare
“hehe..hi, nice town you..got”
>you slowly walk away, deeper into the town
“Gosh, this town creeps me out, everything is strange here”
>You take a look at the note again, ‘old house nr 44’
“Every house looks old and there aren’t even numbers, who the hay wrote this??”
>maybe Soarin was right, maybe this was a bad idea
>after a while you find a creepy pony that gives you directions
“thank you”
>”So it is”
>’so it is’? This whole town was strange, all ponies looked at you in this horror movie way
>this was not a good place to be
>but you are Rainbow Dash, and nothing can stop you, surely not a bunch of old creepy ponies
>at least most of them seemed old
>you reach the house and knock a few times
>another rather strange looking colt opens the door and lets you in
“Are you the one who sent the note?”
>”Yes indeed”
“So you know where I can find Luna?”
>”Yes but the bits first.”
“Bits? What are you talking about”
>”I want 200 bits for the information”
>200!? You wish you could punch him right now, what a douche, did he not even care about princess Luna?
“Hey you never said anything about bits!?”
>”I did now”
>well fuck this guy
 
“How do I even know you can really bring me to the princess?”
>”Big blue/black mare, looking strange, talking to herself about some Anon guy”
>Wait how does he know about Anon, maybe he really found the princess
“Yeah that’s her! I guess.. Alright you can have the bits, but if it turns out to be nothing I will kick your flank!”
>good thing Soarin gave you some extra bits, or this would have ended in a long trip home and back again
>”Good”
>You hand over the bits
“So where is she!?”
>”Calm down young mare, we need to get through the forest and over the mountain”
>with this guy? Yeah..no, you will just fly there
“Sorry but as you can see I have wings, just tell me how to get there and I will go on my own”
>”Not good, it is very dangerous, changeling territory”
“A few changelings won’t stop me, I beat them up before”
>”It gets really misty here, changelings take advantage of this”
>yadda yadda..this is only going to end in you going by hoof, you already know it
>you let out a sigh of frustration
“fine, then let’s go”
>”sun is already setting, it will be dark soon, not good idea”
>Sleeping? Here? Oh god no
>You take a look around
>OH GOD NO
“We will go now, I can’t waste any time”
>”Will cost another 100 bits”
>ARE YOU BUCKING KIDDING ME
 
>You give him the bits and an angry stare
>He almost looks like he is..smiling?
>You wish you could hit him, just once, no rainbow dash, calm down
“Can we go now..”
>”alright, but put this on”
>he hands you a coat
“eww, why?”
>”Your rainbow mane is not helpful, easy to spot, oh we forget introduction, call me rust”
>you let out a laugh
“that fits, I’m Rainbow Dash”
>he lets out a laugh
>akward silence
>”alright let’s go, not much time till night”
>you both head out and into the forest
>it did not look as frightening from the inside as it did from the outside
“Is this forest dangerous?”
>”A little.”
>some action wouldn’t be that bad actually
>after one hour of walking you begin to see a mountain
>”It’s almost dark, we have to get over there in darkness”
“Whatever”
>You walk, and walk, and walk
>You feel really bored now
>And this rust guy doesn’t speak at all
>Not that you would want him to speak
“Are we there yet?”
>”We have to go over the mountain, we are halfway as you see, it does not make sense to be there yet”
>this would be a lot quicker if you could just fly over it
>another two hours pass by
>and you are about to go crazy
>but it seems you have almost reached your destination
“Is that it?”
>You point to an open field
>”Yeah, over there, at cave, a little more”
>”Ok you can go alone now, pony is somewhere around that place”
>good news, but you also feel a little annoyed, that was it? No changelings? No scary monsters? All this walking for nothing?
“Why didn’t I just fly!? There was no threat at all, no changelings, no monster, NOTHING”
>”You see, I do good, and half of town is changelings, you could just go back if you want to see changelings”
>wut.jpg
“Ehhhm..o-okey? Thanks for your help I guess?”
>”Ok, I will wait here for your return”
>a part of you wishes that won’t happen
>you start to walk to the field and that cave place rust mentioned
“Luna? LUNA!?”
“wait maybe I should approach slowly, who knows in what state she is”
>you fly up and take a good look at the place, nothing to see..
>a half hour passes by and you feel hopeless
>flying back you find rust at the same place you left him
“I can’t find her, are you sure she is here?”
 
>”Did you look in the cave?
>You face-hoof
>After one hour you return again
“She wasn’t there either”
>”Of course not, she is never there at night, at nighttime always outside”
>he knew, he FUCKING KNEW
>ok that’s it, this guy dies right here, right now
“You- YOU- I WILL-“
>he interrupts your rage and points at the moon
“She is..on the moon?”
>”no, that would be stupid to think”
>did he just call you stupid?
>”but look at light, moon is up but only part of the field is in light”
>you take a look at the field
>damn he is right
>a part of the field is dark, but there is no reason why it should be
“that.. doesn’t make sense”
>”she controls the moon, she does not want light”
>hmm, she is probably sad and hides in the dark
>hopefully she didn’t go nightmare moon again
“I’ll be back”
>you dash off at high speed and reach the dark area
>the grass is high, a few big rocks here and there
>but you can’t see-
“P-Princess Luna?”
>There she sits in the grass by a rock
>she looks horrible, her mane is a mess, her fur seems darker than you remember
>it seems as if she is part Luna, part nightmare moon again
 “Hey princess..it is me, Rainbow Dash”
 
>”L-Look, someone comes to visit us”
>she is talking to herself, it freaks you out
>no wait, she is talking to…Anonymous?
>”It is an old friend.”
“Princess, we were looking for you for years, why did you vanish like that?”
>she looks at you, her eyes glowing
>wait you know that, that’s dark magic
“P-Princess Luna..”
>before you can finish what you wanted to say the glow fades and her hollow stare makes you shiver
>what was she doing with dark magic?
>just now you realize that the rock she sits by, has some symbols carved in it
>you slowly walk closer and take a better look at it
>you knew it…
>It was a gravestone, at least it’s supposed to be one
>looks like she buried Anon here
“I-I’m sorry Princess…”
>you lower your head, you don’t really know what to say now, but you knew you had to get her back home
“You should come home with me, your sister misses you, we all loved Anonymous but it is time to move on, it is time to-“
>she stands up, interrupting your speech
>”H-how dare you…”
>oh shit
>”how dare you have the audacity to come here AND TELL US TO JUST MOVE ON”
>you are scared, scared as fuck, you can’t even move
>”HOW DARE YOU SAY THAT YOU ALL LOVED HIM”
>oh no this is bad, this is bad
>clouds appear in the sky, everything gets even darker than before
>shit
 
>you stumble backwards in fear, ready to get the hell out of there
>”you should go now”
>looks like she calmed down
>g-good
>get a hold of yourself rainbow dash, you can do this
“Princess, I am sorry for what happened, but you have to come back, we all miss you”
“If Anon were alive now he would not want you to live in sorrow, your sister is alone, just like you, she needs you aswell, remember last time when loneliness filled your heart, you became nightmare moon, you don’t want that to happen again, right? Since you are gone, twilight had to work a lot more in her role as a princess, she doesn’t know half the things she should know and Princess Celestia has no time to teach her, she needs you aswell. All of equestrian needs you”
>good speech
>”So you say they need me?”
“yup”
>”My sister needs me to comfort her with her loneliness?”
“yup”
>”She needs me to teach Twilight?”
“exactly”
>this is going good
>”so they need me TO MAKE THEIR LIFES BETTER, THOSE WHO BETRAYED US!? TWILIGHT SPARKLE DOES NOT DESERVE THE TITLE PRINCESS OF FRIENDSHIP, SHE ABONDONED A FRIEND AND LET HIM DIE, SHE NEEDS TO BE BANISHED FOR A THOUSAND YEARS”
>this is not working as planned. You have to calm her down somehow
>”no we shall no longer let this injustice take place in equestria, OUR SUBJECTS NEED US INDEED, WE HAVE TO PUNISH PRINCESS TWILIGHT AND PRINCESS CELESTIA FOR THEIR MISTAKE UPON THE KINGDOM”
>you have fucked up
>Luna’s eyes begin to glow again, oh shit dark magic, this can’t be good
>”AND NOW LEEEAAAVVVEE”
>her screams sends shivers down your spine, before you can react a magic blast hits you
 
>you slowly wake up
”hngg…w-where am I?”
>you quickly get up and look around
“p-ponyville? No way. Did she teleport me? Is that possible over that distance?”
>it’s still night and you make your way to your house
>endless thoughts circle through your head, but you are too tired to think straight
>you found her…and she was broken. Another friend, broken.
>This was Anon all over again, no it was even worse.
>But this time you will do the right thing, no matter how many times she teleports you back
>you will be there for her
>no matter how many bits you have to-
>wait, Rust.
>he said he would wait for you
>heh, that’s his punishment for being a dick
>tomorrow you will head out again
>this time with some reinforcement
