Chapter 1: Trouble in Ponyville Part 1: The Ancient Hero is online
Prologue
Date: December 21 2012
I turned on the TV to watch the news of the riots. I was not the type of person to watch the news I was more of a cartoon guy but when there are reports about people disappearing in a flash of white light leaving nothing behind. I turned off the TV as quickly as i turned it on and decided to take a nap out of boredom.
"Hey buddy wake up." a strange Scottish voice said confusing me considering the fact that i didn't know anyone with a Scottish ascent I opened my eyes and quickly noticed a couple things that were out of place. First I was on a hammock and not the couch that i fell asleep on. Second i was outside when i fell asleep inside.
"Well are yeh getting up? Or am i going to have to pull out the Wabbajack on yeh?" she asked as i got out of the hammock and looked around noticing that the area looked like the main area from the mind of madness quest in skyrim where you meet Sheagorath.
"Ah good your up take a seat." The voice which i could now for some reason tell was female said. As i sat down i realized that the person was a female Sheagorath. "Nice to see you finally sat down" She said as she spawned some sweet rolls "So i guess you've already figured out who i am and where you are." She said as she finished off the sweet rolls
"Yeah your Sheagorath and this is the mind of Palagius" I said as she started laughing "Good guess but no. Your reality in purgatory as for me well i'll leave that up to you" She said "Okay so why im i here?" I asked as she just smiled "Ah thats a good question. Do you know what the date is?" She asked to which i responded "Yeah December 21 2012... Oh crap." She laughed at the fact that i had only now figured out. She then made the table disappear and touched my forehead emitting a bright wight light "Sleep young one and when you awaken you'll find your new strength" And in a flash of light i was gone.

(Canterlot 4 am)
“Sister, did thou feel that spell? It originated from around Ponyville.” Princess Luna asked, massaging her temples.
“Yes Luna.” Replied Celestia, furiously trying to set her own head in order with her own hands. With her magic, she levitated a blank scroll, quill, and inkwell in front of her. "Perhaps i should send a letter to my student to warn her and the town?” Princess Celestia said as she was preparing to write but Luna took the scroll from her sisters hands before saying "Sister you can't rely on her for everything."
Celestia thought for a second before looking at Luna and saying "I guess your right." She thought for a moment before getting off of her seat to the nearby bookshelf looking for a specific book while Luna just stood there confused at what her sister was doing "Tia what are you doing?" Celestia pulled a specific book from the shelf and causing it to open revealing a secret passageway " were going to visit an old friend of yours." she said as the two entered the passageway.
As the two went down the stairs Luna wondered whom could the friend that her sister was talking about could be but than confusion ended at the bottom of the stairs only to stop dead in her tracks and just stared 'no. not her.' being her only thoughts.
(A thousand years ago. Luna/Nightmare Moon POV)
Luna was taking another stroll in the woods. It had been one of the many walks she had taken in the past months to occupy her boredom. The walks were always the same, same trees, same rocks , same timber wolves stalking her... 'Wait? Timber wolves?' She froze in her tracks to check behind her seeing a bunch of timber wolves stalking her. So she did the thing any reasonable person would do run like hell.
She ran for as long as her legs would allow her too before she tripped on a exposed root of a nearby tree. She would have gotten up to keep running but she was surrounded by the wolves and the forest would not allow her to use magic for a few more centuries due to the remnant of Discords chaos magic not to mention she left her combat equipment back at the castle.
She braced herself for the impact of the wolves but started to look up as she heard a flute play and saw a mystery pony in red, blue and yellow armor playing the flute before she was knocked out by a timber wolf going to attack the figure.
(??? POV)
I had taken the unconscious Princess Luna back to the cave that i have been calling home for the past couple of days. I would have taken her back to her castle but i have no clue where that is. I took another bite out of the spark fruit i believe they were called zap apples in the show but that wont happen for at lest 800 years. "Oh my head" the princess said as she looked around only to freeze up on seeing her 'captor' "Who are you?" she said in fear.
"I'm the reploid that saved you from the wood wolves but if your looking for a name mine is Aile" I told her as she tilted her head and asked "Whats a reploid? Some kind of golem?" I face palmed just realizing that she would not know what a reploid was "Think of me as a golem with the mind of a.. what ever you are" I said "pony i am a pony" she said as i helped her get up. "Can we continue this talk someplace else" She asked as we left the cave.
(What she looks like)
(Five months later)
"For the last time no Luna!" Celestia said as Luna stormed out of the Throne room in a rage. She then turned to see me slow clapping her "And what are you going on about?" she asked as i stopped clapping "Oh nothing just applauding the moment your going to regret for the rest of your life." i said as she gave me a mean look "what do you mean?"
"Well you would know if you were any semblance of a good sister you would have noticed her acting weird" I told her before walking out.
(The Final battle of the lunar rebellion)
"Give up Sister the night will last forever!" Nightmare Moon shouted as she began to laugh evilly before stepping back out of shock of seeing a charged shot at her feet. "YOU!" she shouted at the Reploid whom came jumping from the roof of the castle.
Celestia in a desperate act used the elements to surprise Nightmare moon not knowing that she didn't have all the correct traits to use them at there full power. The burst of energy coming from the elements not only caused everyone in the room to get knocked out and shut Aile down but also Celestia received scars to compensate for the fact that she didn't have all the correct traits for the elements.
(Back to the present)
"Sister what is she doing here?" Luna asked in a worried voice. "I brought her here" Celestia said in a semi deadpan tone. "I got that but why?" Luna asked again "Because she asked me to wake her up when you came back." Celestia answered as she pushed her sister towards the off line Reploid accidentally causing her to activate said shutdown Reploid.
As Aile sat up she looked around the room and noticed Luna. Her eyes turned red and she started shouting "EXTERMINATE!" before a frighten Luna used her magic to push her across the room into a wall causing her to say "Ow"
"I guess my joke wasn't as funny as i thought" she said as she got knocked out and Luna getting an odd look from her sister just said "whoops"
