A/N: Hello everyone, I now return with the sequel of "On The Dark Side" which I recommend you read first. Otherwise, you won't understand.
Disclaimer: I don't own My Little Pony
Twilight Sparkle used dark magic to find the Crystal Heart so Spike could defeat Sombra. The dark magic had lingered and corrupted Twilight who allied with Sombra bringing death and destruction to Equestria. Twilight broke free and defeated Sombra, but had to be punished for her actions. Her magic was locked away and she was imprisoned. Now, it was time for her to be released. Twilight was lead from her cell to the entrance where two familiar faces where waiting.
"Twilight!" exclaimed Spike overjoyed.
"Great to see you!" cried Sunset Shimmer.
Spike and Sunset raced over to Twilight.
"I missed you so much." sobbed Spike.
Twilight wrapped her front left leg around the baby dragon.
"I missed you Spike." whispered Twilight.
"What about me?" asked Sunset jokingly.
The two marefriends shared a kiss.
"I missed you too." stated Twilight.
"So...how was it?" asked Sunset.
"I'm glad to be out." answered Twilight.
"Sunset did a great job keeping up Golden Oaks Library." noted Spike.
"Well now we'll have to make room." mused Twilight.
"Oh. I've got a bed in the lab. I hope you don't mind." said Sunset.
"You're bed hasn't been touched since..." began Spike.
Spike trailed off unable to continue.
"How are the girls?" asked Twilight.
"They want nothing to do with you." answered Spike.
"I don't blame them." answered Twilight.
"Come on. Let's go home." said Sunset.
Twilight shook her head sadly.
"Sounds good to me." sighed Twilight.
The three began walking to the train station.
"It's her." noted Sassy Saddles softly.
"I can't believe they let her out." whispered Jet Set.
"Celestia was her mentor." whispered Upper Crust.
Twilight hung head head.
"They're talking about me." thought Twilight.
Spike and Sunset noticed this.
"Hey Twilight! Let's see a show!" cried Spike.
"No thanks." said Twilight softly.
Sunset thought for a moment.
"I have an idea!" declared Sunset.
Sunset lead Spike and Twilight to Donut Joe's.
"Oh! I could go for a doughnut!" exclaimed Spike.
Joe spotted the trio from inside.
"I don't want to." said Twilight.
"It's okay. Joe is nice." said Sunset.
As if on cue, Joe burst through the doors.
"No way! I won't have that traitor in here!" declared Joe.
Twilight turned and left with Sunset in pursuit.
"Joe, you lost a customer!" cried Spike hurt.
The baby dragon caught up with the two unicorns.
"It's okay Twilight." said Spike soothingly.
"Just ignore him. We'll go somewhere else." added Spike.
"I know everypony is talking about me." replied Twilight.
"We could find somewhere to go." said Sunset.
"How about we visit Celestia?" asked Spike.
Twilight cringed at this.
"Celestia was my mentor and was a second mother to me. I repaid her by betraying her. I can never face Celestia again." said Twilight sadly.
The three went to the train station to return home. The pony at the ticket booth initially refused to sell them a ticket because of Twilight. Finally, Sunset had to twist his foreleg to get it. The three got on the train and returned to Ponyville. They where isolated as every other pony on the train stayed far away from then three. They arrived at the Ponyville Station and got off. The three walked from there and reached the outskirts of Ponyville.
"I'm not sure I can do this." said Twilight.
"We have to." noted Sunset.
"Everypony hates me." sighed Twilight sadly.
"Where else are you going stay?" asked Spike.
"I'll live in the Everfree." answered Twilight.
"That's crazy!" exclaimed Sunset.
"It'll be fine." replied Twilight.
"You aren't living in the Everfree!" declared Sunset.
As they bickered, a donkey approached.
"Hi Cranky." said Spike.
"Hello Spike. Hello Sunset. Hello Twilight." said Cranky flatly.
Cranky froze in place as he realized the last thing he said.
"You!" cried Cranky.
Twilight cringed hearing this.
"How dare you return after everything you did!" snapped Cranky.
"That's enough!" cried Sunset.
Cranky spat on the ground.
"Whatever, just keep away from Matilda and I." said Cranky storming off.
"I told you." said Twilight sadly.
Twilight turned and began walking toward the Everfree.
"You'll know where to find me." said Twilight.
Sunset Shimmer used her magic to freeze Twilight in her tracks.
"We're going to Ponyville." said Sunset firmly.
The trio entered Ponyville. As they did, they all noticed they where the center of attention. Everypony either shot them death glares or ran away in terror.
"This sucks." sighed Twilight.
"It'll be fine." said Sunset.
"Hello!" exclaimed an energetic voice.
Sunset, Twilight and Spike nearly jumped fifty feet into the air.
"I saw you guys coming back and wanted to..." began Pinkie Pie.
Pinkie Pie stopped seeing Twilight.
"What is she doing here?" asked Pinkie.
The trio couldn't help but notice the uncharacteristic spite in Pinkie's voice.
"I was let out." answered Twilight.
"She's returning to Golden Oaks Library." added Sunset.
I see." replied Pinkie displeased.
"Maybe we could go to Sugarcube Corner..." began Spike.
"No!" cried Pinkie loudly.
The three where taken aback.
"You aren't welcomed there." stated Pinkie coldly.
"That's sup to the Cakes to decided." countered Spike.
Pinkie chuckled a bit.
"Oh they agree. The Cakes don't want you there either." revealed Pinkie.
"But, you guys where good friends." noted Spike.
"And this isn't in character for you." said Sunset.
"Excuse for being upset at the pony who tortured and enslaved my family." said Pinkie.
"How...are they doing?" asked Twilight softly.
"My parents, Maud and Limestone are fine." answered Pinkie.
"You didn't mention Marble." noted Sunset.
"She's still in therapy!" exclaimed Pinkie.
Twilight felt her heart break in half.
"How bad is she?" asked Twilight.
"She was on suicide watch for months." answered Pinkie bitterly.
Twilight hung her head.
"Twilight." muttered Sunset.
Sunset shook her head and stamped her hoof.
"You know she was under Sombra's black magic!" exclaimed Sunset.
A crowd was gathering.
"I can't believe she's back." whispered Bulk Biceps.
"She's not the Twilight I know." whispered Lyra.
"I wonder if the agency knows." whispered Bon Bon.
"What did you say?" asked Lyra surprised.
"Nothing." answered Bon Bon embarrassed.
"Sunset, let's go." said Twilight gently.
"It's fine." replied Sunset.
"I cannot forgive Twilight for torturing my family!" declared Pinkie.
The crowd voiced their agreement with Pinkie.
"Pinkie..." began Sunset.
"Let Twilight talk for herself." spat Pinkie.
"I've got nothing to say." sighed Twilight.
"Just as I thought." said Pinkie disgusted.
"Please, let's end this." said Spike.
"Stay away from me." demanded Pinkie.
Pinkie and the crowd then dispersed.
"How are you?" asked Sunset concerned.
"I'm okay." answered Twilight flatly.
"Twilight..." began Spike.
Before Spike could finish, a pegasus landed in front of them.
"You!" spat Rainbow angrily.
Rainbow Dash began marching up to Twilight.
"How dare you come back her!" snapped Rainbow.
Sunset got in between the former friends.
"Rainbow, calm your tone." said Sunset firmly.
Rainbow spat on the ground.
"Butt out!" demanded Rainbow.
"I won't have you talk to Twilight like that." said Sunset.
"You where just as bad. Working with Sombra." replied Rainbow.
"You didn't mind when I defected." noted Sunset.
The cyan pegasus pointed at Twilight.
"If you continue to defend her then we have a problem." said Rainbow.
"Rainbow, she was controlled by Sombra." said Spike.
"That's right, she was under mind control." agreed Sunset.
"Do you know what happened to my family when Cloudsdale fell?" asked Rainbow.
"I don..." began Sunset.
"I was asking Twilight!" cried Rainbow.
"I don't know." answered Twilight gently.
"They escaped." answered Rainbow.
Twilight let out a sigh of relief.
"But Flutter's family didn't!" screamed Rainbow.
Twilight flinched knowing full well this was the truth.
"What did you do them them?" asked Rainbow angrily.
Twilight flinched a bit.
"They where sent to the Crystal Empire after Cloudsdale fell." answered Twilight sheepishly.
Rainbow shook her head scowling.
"Stay away from me." said Rainbow.
"Okay." agreed Twilight defeated.
"More importantly, stay away from Fluttershy!" demanded Rainbow.
"Okay." agreed Twilight defeated.
Rainbow turned around.
"You shouldn't have come back." spat Rainbow coldly.
Rainbow shot off.
"I thought she would have been napping." mused Spike.
"Pinkie's yelling must have woken her up." noted Sunset.
Sunset turned her attention to her marefriend.
"How are you doing?" asked Sunset worried.
"I want to go home." answered Twilight sadly.
Twilight began walking toward Golden Oaks Library.
