The Story of Mr Allan in Equestria
The Gala
Previous ChapterNext ChapterP.O.V: CLM
I entered the room with determination, the first stage of my plan was about to take effect. "First, the Gala, next Shadow, third..." I was interrupted by a beeping noise coming from a terminal. I rushed over to it and examined the situation. "What is it now?" My eye's widened at the information "Looks like I'm going to have to enter 'Critical state 3', and hope it doesn't get worse."
I walked over to another terminal and opened a line of three switches, I flicked on up and walked over to the transfer mechanism "That Negative Element of his is starting to react. All I can do is hope he can control it until I can close the Void."

"If we're going to take the long road to Canterlot, then where's our ride?" I looked along the road and saw Canterlot in the distance.
Twilight levitated an apple onto the middle of the road "It's right here." Her horn started to glow and the apple started raising into the air and the and in a flash it had turned into an apple carriage.
"Oh, because that makes sense. Who's going to pull it?" I waited for an answer then noticed they were looking at me. "Oh... ....fair enough, I guess."
I walked in front of the carriage and placed the strap on. The girls entered the carriage and we started moving.
On the way there me and Spike talked for a bit "So Spike, what do you plan on doing at the Gala?"
"Oh it's going to be so good, I know a ton of stuff we can do. I gotta show everypony around when we get there. OH I just can't wait, we can't waste time." He lashed a surprisingly harsh through the rope.
"AH! What was that for?"
"Oops, sorry, got a bit over exited."
We continued for a short while until we reached the gates of canterlot castle. I unstrapped myself from the carriage and walked into view of the carriage door. Spike opened the door and Six ponies in beautiful dresses came out and stared at the castle. "Here it is, the Gala." they all said.
Rainbow Dash walked up to me "Hey, I'm just going to be over at the Wonderbolt section of the party for a bit. I promise you a dance later, sound cool?"
"Of course."
The mane six then rushed of to do their own things. I turned to Spike "I'm going to go look around for a bit." Spike then walked off towards the castle as I headed towards Canterlot Gardens.

I walked up to the edge of a large maze "I wonder what prize I'd get for going through it." I was about to walk in until.
"Hey! I wouldn't go in there if I were you." I turned my head to see what looked like a Royal guard Unicorn in, very specific armor. "It's very easy to get lost in there. Trust me."
"Unless you have wings." I said pointing out my wings.
"Oh... ...good point." He had dark blue fur, and a black and blue mane. All the guards I had seen were either white or black fur in basic guard armor.
"What kind of guard are you?"
He seemed hesitant to ask "I'm, not authorized to tell you that information."
"So you admit your not a normal guard?"
"Was that obvious? I'm one of Luna's personally picked guard force..." He went blank then face hoofed once he realized what he just did.
"Alright, so I got your rank, whats your name?"
"Well you've definitely earned it. I'm Shadowmere, former resident of Ponyville, current resident of Canterlot." He spoke with pride.
"Sure cool. Why did you actually come up to me?"
He gave a unamused look "Fine, I saw you bring Twilight and her friends to the Gala and I just wanted to know if you knew where that beautiful white unicorn was going."
"She told me she was going to find her Prince, oh look there she is." I pointed my hoof towards Rarity alongside a white unicorn with gold hair. She looked unhappy. "That must be her 'Prince'."
Shadowmere's face changed from unamused to serious upon seeing them. "I need to go." without another word he galloped towards where Rarity and the Prince were. I didn't dive in to investigate, this wasn't my business. I chose instead to start flying towards the bar, wherever that was.

I landed outside a large room, I stepped inside to find the main room, not allot of ponies surprisingly enough. I walked over to a table full of party foods. When I arrived I started picking at a few snacks, I turned along the table to see a blue stallion with blobs of green fur. He was a Unicorn by the looks of it, he was wearing a cape and a hood covering most of his body. He walked up to me.
"Having a good time?" He asked, his sounded like he was ill.
"Yeah, who are you?"
He grinned "I guess you can call me by my 'new name' Vortex." he answered.
"Pleasure to meet you Vortex, I'm..." I started but he interrupted.me.
"Allan. Yeah I know who you are, and I have a message for you."
This guy was starting to creep me out, he knew who I was, and he seemed ill. "Uh, what message?"
"A storm is approaching, and nopony is prepared for what's in it. So I thought I'd come and tell you, 'Watch for Negative events.' as they show signs of speeding up the storm." He then walked away.
I thought he might be a mad pony.

About an hour had past and I decided to join Spike at the cafe. I entered the cafe to see spike sitting down at a table. "Hey Spike." He looked up and saw me sit down at the table. "Seen any of the girls?"
Just in time the mane six entered the room, all except Rarity looked tired. "This has not been the best night ever." said Twilight.
The mane six sat around the table and started talking about each of their nights. Rarity claims she met a stallion who saved her from Prince Blue blood and his 'uptight' attitude, I took my guesses on who that was. The rest of the six had each had a bad night. I turned to Rainbow dash as the others were talking.
"So I'm guessing you might not be in the mood for a dance."
She looked unhappy "It's been a long night." I got the answer I was expecting until, "So we might have to make for that over a drink sometime, what do ya say."
I couldn't say no to most awesome pony of all time "Sure, I'm in."
Even after the events that took place that night it still turned out to be a nice night.
No big problems.
No Void shards.
No nothing.

Meanwhile, somewhere in Seaddle...
A Earth pony Stallion working in a warehouse, picking up and placing box's full items and placed them into a carriage, as he's done for five years as a profession. Everything was planned, everything was placed, everything was done. The stallion picked his saddle bags and prepared to head home when all of a sudden. A small purple object crashed through the ceiling and landed in the ground next to his room. He was startled by the thing. He chose to investigate this new object.
He slowly walked up to it and examined it closely, it looked like a shard of purple crystal, "What is this thing?" he asked himself as he reached down to touch it. Inches away from it, the shard let out a purple gas that filled the room. The Stallion backed up as he accidentally breathed in the gas. "What in Equestria?" he said before he froze dead still. Suddenly he fell to the ground, lifeless. A dark purple glow started emitting from the body and he started to stand up. His eye's were pure white, and he had already started to go pale.
"....Must....Prepare....the hidden....army...." he spoke as he dropped the saddle bag and left the building.
