Return of Evil and A New Beginning

It was a nice sunny day in Equestria, especially Canterlot where the two sisters, Celestia and Luna, were enjoying the nice day by hanging out in town. Not a cloud in the sky, everypony was happy, and summer was just around the corner, so everypony was excited for the upcoming Summer Sun Celebration in this year’s location, The Crystal Empire. The crystal ponies, along with Princess Cadence, Prince Shining Armor, Princess Twilight, and her friends, have been getting ready for the summer solstice by preparing the Crystal Empire for Celestia’s and Luna’s arrival. Usually, Princess Luna wouldn’t go to a Summer Sun Celebration, but it would be a nice excuse to get out of the castle and visit another kingdom.

The day was going great, until random clouds started to appear out of nowhere in Canterlot. Celestia and Luna looked up as the clouds were forming “Hey, it’s not supposed to rain” Celestia said. Then, Luna realizes something

“Hey sis” Luna said, “These clouds are pink.”

“Pink!” Celestia exclaimed before it began to rain chocolate milk.

“Discord” Celestia and Luna both exclaim at the same time. They ran towards the castle to find Discord. They searched room to room and finally, they foundd a note written by Discord that said

“Dear Princesses, I have had it with the whole ‘good guy’ thing. So I have decided to run away. But before I go, I leave you with a chaotic mess for you to clean up. Have fun. Love, Discord.”

“Where do you think Discord has run off to?” Luna asked. “I don’t know” Celestia responded “But I don’t like how this will end up.”

Six years have passed since Discord’s disappearance and all was calm, until two days after the six year mark of the incident, the sky over Canterlot turned black. No pony, not even Celestia or Luna, knew what was going on. Then it happened, changelings were falling from the sky and attacking the citizens of Canterlot. The royal guards were fighting back, but were losing the fight in the process. Meanwhile, Celestia invites Cadence, Twilight, Spike, and Twilight’s friends over for a royal meeting on how to solve this problem.

“All of this doesn’t make sense” Celestia said “I thought that we’ve got rid of the changelings once and for all during the royal wedding years ago.”

“I guess that Queen Chrysalis hasn’t given up on trying taking Equestria over” Cadence said.

“This is just like before” Twilight said “We didn’t even expect it coming like last time.”

“Even though we are fighting back, we are still losing the battle” Luna said.

“Yes, but we’re doing better than last time they have invaded” Celestia mentions.

“But what if we lose this battle?” Luna asked “What will we do then?”

“I don’t know little sister. But that is why we need to have confidence in our troops.”

“But, what if they fail, my sister? We might need a backup plan just in case they do fail.”

“You’re forgetting, Princess Luna” Rainbow Dash exclaims “We are your first, second, and third plans.”

“Luna, you don’t have to worry” Celestia said “Like Rainbow Dash said, they, the spirits of the Elements of Harmony will save Equestria.”

“For the thousandth time” Rainbow Dash interrupts.

“Exactly” Cadence said. “Like Celestia said, we need confidence in our troops and we will win this fight.”

“But we should have the elements ready if we do” Luna said.

“Of course” Celestia said “Good thing that they are kept safe in the Crystal Kingdom vault.”

A royal guard ran into the room with a limp and battle-damage armor.

“Princess Cadence, I have some terrible news” the guard said.

“Oh no, are you okay?” Cadence asked the guard.

“You should be more worried about your husband instead of me.”

“What happened to Shining Armor?”

“Is my brother alright?” Twilight asked.

“You all should see for yourself.” The guard said with sorrow.

The nine ponies, along with Spike follow the battle-damaged pony guard out of the room and heads towards the Canterlot Hospital.

The ten ponies walked into the hospital room to see Prince Shining Armor covered bandages. Princess Cadence ran after Shining Armor as he’s lying down and gave him a big hug while crying over the fact that her husband was injured in battle. Twilight gazed upon her older brother in sorrow. “How did this happen?” Twilight asked. The doctor walked in “He had been critically injured in battle. He’s lucky that he is still with us.” Cadence started crying even more and at the same time Twilight started to shed tears.

Twilight wiped her tears off her face and developed a feeling of rage. “The changelings and their queen will pay for this” she said.

“Twilight, it’s okay” Spike said “We can get the Elements of Harmony and stop her like we did last time.”

“Don’t you remember, we were captured before we could get the elements” Twilight reminds Spike.

“So what” Rainbow Dash said “We’ve become more powerful since last time. I mean, you’re an Alicorn. You’re unstoppable.”

“Yeah, you might not need any of our help” Fluttershy said “Oh please don’t need our help. I don’t want to face those scary things!”

“Ah cheer up Fluttershy” Pinkie Pie said “Remember, we’ve fought them before.”

“Yes, plus I don’t want to chip a hoof from, ugh, fighting” Rarity said.

“Let us all go then” Luna said “We need to get back to the Crystal Empire and get the Elements of Harmony.” Cadence sniffles “You guys go without me. I’ll stay here with Shining Armor.”

“Good idea, Cadence” Celestia said “You stay here with him and the love between you two will hopefully heel him quicker. Twilight, I need you, Luna, and your friends to teleport to the Crystal Empire while I stay here and protect Canterlot.”

“Of course, princess” Twilight said “Gather around everypony, I need you all to stay close when I perform the spell.” Everypony huddles around twilight as she teleports them away from the hospital.
