I am Princess Twilight Sparkle; I have just witnessed the end of the world. The seas boiled blood red, and the air clouded with souls. I can no longer fix this, not now anyways. With my last dying breath I preformed black magic to warn my past self of her predicament.
3 Days Earlier.
The sun shun brightly through the lightly clouded sky reflecting brightly off the bright green meadow grass. Twilight, and all her very best friends where having a picnic, it was a rare occasion that Twilight was able to visit her friends in Ponyvile for the past few months she was leading an expedition to the ancient remains of Old Equestria to learn more about long ago, although the expedition being a failure she was excited to see her seemingly ancient friends.
“Hey Pinkie, what did you put in this sandwich? It’s kind of an odd texture.” Twilight asks
“I was out of vegetables and hay grass so, I put FUN in them!” Pinkie Pie says enthusiastically
.
“What is that suppose to mean?” Applejack asks.
“It means she put the stuff that was in her party cannon into that them, see?” Rainbow Dash pulls confetti out of her sandwich in disgust “Pinkie Pie, usually you’re just plain weird but that is gross!”
“There not that bad!” Pinkie Says as she says as she chows down on her confetti sandwich. Everypony else immediately stops eating and pushes their sandwiches aside.
“So, Twilight how was the expedition? I don’t think I could ever do something like that, I’d never be able to sleep outside.” Rarity says “it wouldn't’t good for my complexion”
“Well, it was relatively uneventful. Three other ponies and I went hundreds, maybe even thousands of miles through uncharted wilderness. On about the seventh month we hit a seemingly endless mountain range, we didn’t have the equipment to scale it, and one of the researchers says we should go back, cause he swore he heard the howling of a windigo. Since we were running low on rations, I decided to set up a magic amplifier so we could teleport over there later, that was when we ported back to Canterlot.”
“Sounds exciting, I’d never go that far out of Equestria, what if you were attacked by a dragon or something?” Fluttershy chimes. Twilight didn’t answer thin, it brought back some memories of the trip she'd rather forget.
Suddenly, without warning, Twilight got a splitting headache. When she closed her eyes, she saw things she wouldn't normally see riddled across her eyelids. crying fillies, burning seas, and in the middle of it all; a tall biped like creature maniacally laughing.
“You all right sugarcube?” Applejack asks.
“Three days...” Twilight trailed off as she came crashing onto the plush grass.
Why do I smell cheese, where am I? Of course the first thoughts that pop into somepony's mind after going into a coma is to find out what the heck is going on. And in this case it was simply a bad smelling hospital
.
“Ah, you’re awake. That’s a fantastically quick recovery if i do say so myself.” a nearby doctor says aloud
“Hey... I recognize you. I thought you were the town’s time keeper though?” Twilight mumbles
“Nope, it’s a lot more complicated than that. I’m the Doctor here.”
“What’s your name?”
“Just call me John Smith. Anyways I’ll need you to stay here for a while, we need to run a couple of tests to make sure your general health is stable.” Smith says.
“No! that wont do I need to consult Celestia right away!”
“But we don’t –“
“I’m sorry I don’t have time to chat, Bye!” and she went storming off.
“I see.” Dr. Smith says to himself. There was a long silence, he walked off to his office. There laying on the floor a dead colt in a blood stained lab coat. There was a flash of green light and Smith was gone.
Twilight ran straight through the library entrance. “Spike! Sent out a message to Fluttershy, Applejack, Rarity, Pinkie, and Dash. Tell them to get ready for a quick visit to Canterlot tonight and if they don’t meet us in the library that the fate of many lives depend on us.”
“Do you think they’ll buy it?”
“I am royalty now so they better buy it. We could be in some serious trouble otherwise. Tell them if they don’t come here I’ll banish them!”
“You’d never do that!”
“But it will get there attention right?”
“Good point. Is it really so important though?”
“Spike, a while ago I was reading up on dark magic one spell let you communicate with you past self but had extreme side effects. I have reasonable reasons to think that headache-induced comma was it. Now start writing alright!”
“Alright, alright. What ever you say Princess.”
“Don’t give me that attitude.”
“I’m glad to see you’re up and walking. You weren't really thinking of banishing us, were you Twilight.” Fluttershy squeaks.
“No, but it got your attention didn’t it?”
“What got my attention was the whole part of about lives deepening on us.” Applejack ponders “Would ya mind explaining Twi.”
“No time! I've prepared a spell circle to teleport to the Canterlot Castle, but since they’re six of us it will burn more energy than I can spare, so I’ll be using a strand of Celestia’s hair for the catalyst.”
“Why do you have a strand of her hair?” Rainbow asks. Twilight glares in her direction. “Just get in the circle!”
“Okey Dokey Lokey!” Pinkie joyfully says as she bounces into an edge of the circle. The rest of the mane six followed in her example. Twilight does the same. Her horn lights up with purple ora, she slowly concentrated her magic the strand of magic hair bright-multicolored light started to emit from the hair. Enclosing all six of them in a bubble of bright plasmic energy.
“Wait for me!” Spike says jumping into the center. The ball of plasma shrunk instantaneously. They were gone, only leaving the remains of the spell circle.
At the top of the watchtower Luna looked up at the stars, observing them. Stars were the favorite part of her nights. The moon used to be her favorite, but after her long entrapment within the moon it reminded her too much of her past, best to just move on in the end.
“Watch Out!” Luna turns her head to see six ponies tumbling off the slanted roof of the watchtower right toward her.
CRASH
“I apologize Luna, I guess I screwed that up. But since you’re here I need to speak to you and your sister.” Twilight grins awaiting approval from the dark princess.
“Alright, it will give you a chance to apologize for stealing a strand of her hair.” Luna replies
