It was night, in the sky four new stars appeared just as they did befor as the night that Nightmare Moon returned home 2 decades ago. This to the unknowing ment nothing, but to the ones old anouff to know, they know this as a worning spell put in place to trigger when there is a breach in the universal membrane that held this universe together.

The stars soon closened faster than before within one hour the stars became one and then vanished. This could only mean one thing someone or something has come to Equestria which was not of this realm.

Celestia sent for all of her amy and for her most trusted. The only to replied was the her old friends, there elite, Discord, Twilight and her friends. The meeting of her most trusted was held in her inner sandum beneath the throne room. The elite stayed in the throne room to keep watch over the castle.

“You all are my trusted friends and allies” Celestia announced that seemed to be a stage that seemed to be in front of the room. ”This is why I have called you here to my sandom, you should all know that there is an intruder in Equestria, much like the one brought disaster to this realm a millennia ago”, She claimed.

“What problems does this course”, Discord cackled. ”How do we know that it even bring threat.”

“It does Discord” a voice from the shadows called out.The pegasus flew onto the stage. “As you all are aware there is someone coming from another realm, if even one outsider finds the location of this realm the entire of Equestria will become endangered. Unless we persuade him to not speak” the pegasus continued.

“Sister do you know who or what this creaure is” Luna asked.

Celestia respond to this with “No, but maybe the newcomer will know”, she looked at the pegasus next to her.

“Oh I know, but should I tell you who he is” the she replied.

Twilight became enraged at this pony out of pure annoyance at her ingnerance “Isn't obvious you need to tell us”.

“Ok, I’ll do one better. I’ll bring him here”, Techna said while smiling.

Techna left the room to retrieve the visitor form the other realm.

Luna began to speak “As thee are aware of we was gone from Equestria for a nere milleniar, but we was not the moon but in another realm readying a spell that shall allow for the reactivation the bounds of worlds long lost. In my travels with Techna we saw many creatures, both good and bad. The three of us Celestia, Techna, I have collaborated with many of the planeswalkers we met in our travels. We have decided to make a torment to settle our differences and to return Equestria to it’s former glory.”

Celestia continued for Luna “We just need our champions as per agreement we ourselves maynot enter, on the bright side neither can the planeswalkers, we can only supply transportation and training.”

The keepers of elements of harmony took the first move and volunteered, then came discord. He chuckled “This sounds like fun.” Celestia said “we need three more.” Shining armor volunteered with Candus.

Techna walked into the room with two other ponies one the dark lord Sombra they knew but the other was a blue pony with a lense cutie mark. His atire was a blue cape and leather armour. Luna said "Jace is it, hard to tell because of the well changes."

He replied "Yes, have we met."

Luna chuckled "Yes a long time ago in another world."

Jace was finding it hard to read minds here. He thought it was just the fact of Techna was guarding their thoughts from him.

Techna said "He just went to the wrong place, oh yes, I nearly forgot, do we have our ten champion yet."

"Not yet" Celestia frowned.

"Fine then it's decided Sombra your our tenth champion." Techna clamed.

Sombra jumped back in disbelief. He complained "why me? What could make me help you".

Techna "I don't know", she pretends to ponder "If you don't I could see how long a dark embodiment of a pony can last in the centre of a star. You can choose to be my champion or be my guinea-pig." After that statement everyone took a step back to get their bearing. Techna finished the chat with "Now this has been decided let's go to my permanent house." Symbols linked themselves underneath each of the champions, the princesses and Jace. The symbols formed a hole dropping each thing into different rooms. Each pony and ponylike creature within transportation was transformed into a humoniod creature. They were instantly cloked within clothing on entry.

Techna soon joined them gloved. They looked around for a bit on all fours, except for Jace, Luna, Celestia, Discord, Techna and Twilight who are use to being on two legs before saw no need to crawl.

Rainbow Dash asked "where are my wings"? Techna answered her question "you never really had wings". She disagreed "Then what was I using to fly for all my life then?" Techna thought on how to explain the conundrum placed before her "you were just manipulating the air around you to fly and the wing that you saw was a fiscal embodiment of your powers. You can fly just by the same way as before. In time, with some practise you can summon your wing as they were before anywhere at anytime." Rainbowdash summarised it to the into "I can still fly right". Techna confirmed it "Of course".

Rainbow Dash started to fly around the roofless cattacomes.

Techna yelled to her “Do you like it? This is where you will be training.”

Techna gested everyone to an open grassy plain to start the assessment of their current power. They gave them simple instructions to do each test. The first one was that they had to perform was to empower an orb. The first to empower an orb was Pinkie Pie as she touched her’s. Next was Twilight, Applejack, Discord, Sombra, Candus, Rarity then Shining Armor. There was a few difficulties with Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy to the others surprise. Techna tried to suggest that they flied to activate their power, the orbs glowed as they flew.

She checked each orb for the properties of the mana. She created three lists of names. One was Discord, Sombra. The next was Applejack and Shining Armor and one had Fluttershy, Candus and Rarity. She said “these lists will be your teams and each team will be trained in a different way. Discord, Sombra you will take the shadow lands to the south to increase your skills in your art, better not teach you guys a new trick outside your specialty. Applejack, Shining armor your to go with Luna to the mountains to the north to train in focusing your aura into the weapons of your soul. Fluttershy, Candus and Rarity you will go with Celestia to the sun rivers to east, we always need non-aggressive magic, you’ll learn it there.”

Twilight asked “What do Rainbow, Pinkie and I do will they are off training, lay back and do nothing,” Twilight was furious that she will be separated from her friend once more because of this person. Techna concluded with “You will all train with me, we’ll do the more difficult stuff.”

Jace walked into the grassy plain and said “I’ll be off now to ready my own troops”, then we planeswalked into another realm.

Techna said to her team of a few people “Let’s go to sleep we have a big week ahead of us”, and condured a stone house and beds from the ground up.

They all went to rest for the next day.
