Prologue

The afternoon sun shone on Ponyville, breathing life into everypony, bustling with energy to do what they need. For the pony AppleJack, her chores were done. Deciding to relax at her favorite spot, her and her faithful companion, Winona, started their miniature journey. As they ran to their destination, AppleJack noticed that a pure black cloud was looming over Everfree Forest.

“That’s mighty strange..” She pondered, “The weather ponies should have cleared any cloud near Ponyville today.” She stared with curiosity at the unusual cloud, but soon it was joined by a pure white cloud as well. “This is getting stranger by the minute, I need to get RainbowDash to clear these” she bolted off into the other direction, leaving the anomaly behind as both clouds shot lightning, one pure black, the other pure white…

“uhh….” A voice was heard in the clearing of the forest, “whe…..where am i?” The owner of the voice had raised his head from the ground, vision blurry from the travel.

“This ain’t Kansas, I’ll vouch for sure..” Another voice greeted the quiet. After the daze wore off, he looked up and he saw a pony of pure white, a long, wavy, white mane, as well as a horn, donning his head and his ears was cut at where they would make a point. His piercing blue eyes shone brightly with a heroic defiance. A gray vest donning the pony before him.

“Dray…Drayga, is that you?!” the voice said, a smile appeared on his face, “you…you look…..cuddly….Bwahahahaha!!!!!” He started rolling on the forest floor laughing while tears ran down his face.

“You do too, Dragoon.” Drayga had remarked, a smug look on his face. After he settled down, holding back a chuckle, he looked to see Drayga was right. Dragoon was a pure black pony with a pulled back mane to match and his ears were similar to the white stallion’s before him. His trench coat had stayed on him as well. His eyes were a piercing red but he did not have a horn as the pony in front of him did.

“Sonofa…. How come you’re a unicorn and I’m not?” He questioned. Drayga looked smugly at Dragoon and replied “How else can I stop your dark powers if you go evil here.” Dragoon snorted “Here is a loose term now. Where ‘Here’ is, is our real question.”

He then turned and started trotting off, “Whoa whoa whoa, where are you goin?” Drayga asked, putting a hoof on Dragoons shoulder

“Out of this place.”

“And if you end up on the wrong side…?” “I’ll turn around.” And smugly he continued his march. “okay… but we end up lost, I don’t know how to use my magic here…”

Minutes into their trek, the two stallions reach the edge of the forest and spot a small town in the distance. They also spotted two figures rushing to their position. “More ponies?” Dragoon asks, his voice filled with his usual dark calmness.

“Probably”

“Ah told ya, there were some strange clouds over here and I wanted you to do your job” One of the ponies stated to the other, her voice thick with a southern accent.

“Well I don’t see any clouds over here so I think you and Pinkie are pulling one over me." The other replied, Pride heavy in her voice. They soon slowed to a stop and began bickering at each other. Drayga looked at Dragoon and smirked “Hold on, I’ve got this” he whispered. Dragoon rolled his eyes at the white stallion. As he moved closer he decided to size up the two arguers. The southern one was an orange pony with freckles near her eyes and nose. Her eyes were a calm green and she wore a stenson on her head. He noticed that she had an apple on her flank as well. The other was a light blue pony with red-violet eyes, her mane the colors of the rainbow. He noticed that she too, had a mark on her flank, though it was a rainbow bolt, shooting out of a cloud.

“Jeez, the way you two fight, you sound like sisters..” Both of the other ponies stopped their argument and turned to the new voice.

“Who’re you?” The rainbow one asked.

“The name is Drayga Hyru, Paladin captain of the Holy Corps. The sullen one behind me is my brother Dragoon Hyru, a Shadow Knight Chieftain.” Both looked dumbfounded by the explanation from the stranger. “You’re a what now?” The southern one asked. “Sorry, I thought my entrance was understandable.” He replied, looking like he wasted his breath.

“Smooth, brother” Dragoon said as he walked up, “ allow me, I’m Dragoon and this is my brother Drayga. We come from…uh.. I really can’t be sure you’ll know or not so I’ll leave that blank.”

“Oh….kay?” The orange pony replied “Well a’hm AppleJack and this here is..”

“Rainbow Dash!” The other had said, flying in the air.

“…Yeah, she’s a might bit cocky but a good pony nonetheless. Anywho, where ya’ll headed?”

“I truthfully don’t know?” Drayga said, smiling suddenly.

“Why don’t ya’ll come with us till you figure out where your headed.” Drayga shot his hoof forward

“Deal.” They shook and the two mares had turned to where they had run from. The two stallions had followed their lead and Drayga leaned close to his brother’s ear and said “Told ya I could get them to stop fighting..”

New beginnings

When the small group had arrived at the town, the two mares had turned to each other and Rainbow had said something about hitting the hay and she flew off into the distance.

“Well welcome to Ponyville!! I want to start ya off with a word of advice; If ya want some R&R today, stay away from a pink pony”

“Duly noted” Dragoon had replied, his usual calm not breaking.

“So anything interesting happening in town?” Drayga asked, ignoring his brother, “There have got to be some people....ponies to meet and events to attend right?”

AppleJack had looked at him, surprised by his enthusiasm, “Well, we’ve got our Summer Sun Celebration happening in a few days so everypony is getting ready for that.” She then pondered a little, raising her hoof to her chin, “As I know, Rainbow is in charge of the weather, Fluttershy is in for music and Rarity has decorations. If ya want some new duds, talk to her. But anyhow, I gotta run back to the barn to get the house ready for our reunion.” She started trotting off in the other direction and yelled a farewell.

“As informative as that was, she didn’t tell us about an inn or a place for food.” Dragoon stated. At the sound of the word ‘food’ Drayga’s ears pricked

“Ahhh I could go for that…..” His body relaxed and drool started to ooze out his mouth at the thought. Then his stomach let a large growl out “Mr. Tummikins agrees.” He said, patting his empty gullet as he sat down on the ground with a smile. Dragoon looked at him with an odd stare, then mumbled something about being adopted.

They went and asked ponies about a place for food and the number one recommendation was for a place called Sugercube corner. When they arrived at the place marked on their ‘Map’ (A piece of paper) Drayga looked at the Building itself. “I could just eat the building and be satisfied…” The building modeled after a large gingerbread house. Entering the building, Drayga had taken a large sniff of the air and seemed satisfied. Dragoon looked around and seemed pleased with the smell in the room.

As they approached the main desk, Drayga had rushed to the bell and rung it multiple times before a voice called from the back, “Pinkie, can you get that!!” The voice was male and seemed barely masked by the clatter of the kitchen.

“Okie doki loki!” a female voice replied from the back. Sensing danger, Dragoon quickly leapt out of the room. The pony that emerged was a pink pony with blue eyes and a fluffy mane and tail. Her mark on her flank was three balloons. When she met eyes with Drayga, she gasped, slightly floating in the air, and ran through the door. Dragoon entered after a few minutes, “Did I stare death in the face?” He asked sarcastically. Minutes later the owner of the male voice entered from the kitchen, “Pinkie? Where is she?” He then noticed the costumers, “Oh, hello, sorry about the wait.”

“No problem dear sir” Drayga replied. The stallion was of a lankier build and had studied his costumers carefully, “Are you new here?”

“Yes, why?”

“Pinkie runs off and throws a party to every new pony so if you came for food, you might want to wait”  “Hmm this intrigues me” Drayga said, raising his hoof to his chin. Dragoon looked around and asked “Where can I hide?” Drayga and the owner had looked at him and the owner laughed, “There’s no hiding from Pinkie” Dragoon looked distraught at this comment, which made the owner and Drayga laugh.

“I’m the owner of SugarCube Corner and everypony calls me Mr. Cake” he said as he extended his hoof to Drayga. He followed and they shook, “The names Drayga and this here is my brother Dragoon.”

“Well, I need to check on the food so you should keep an eye out for Pinkie” Mr. Cake said, moving to the back. Drayga’s stomach growled loudly after words and Drayga patted his stomach and said, “Don’t worry oh tummy of mine, you’ll be full soon” Dragoon left the room questioning his relation once more.

Leaving the bakery had left the two heroes with nothing noteworthy to think of. “Didn’t AppleJack say something about other ponies to talk to?” Drayga asked.

“Yeah” Dragoon started, now mimicking Applejack’s southern accent, “Ya’ll should meet Rarity, Fluttershy and RainbowDash.”

“Well I think we should go meet Rarity” Drayga started “Why?” Dragoon asked. “Have you seen our clothes?” Looking down, Dragoon saw that his trench coat was in tatters along with Drayga’s vest “Maybe we should look nice if we stay here”

“Fine, Let’s get going”

Drayga moved to the first pony he saw and asked for directions. Dragoon sat where he was looking at his surroundings. The town was nice enough, everything looked sweet and innocent though he couldn’t shake the feeling he was forgetting something. With a jolt, he recognized what it was. “OUR SWORDS!!!” he yelled. Noticing what he did, he looked around, seeing everypony was watching him with a queer look. “*ahem* I.. uh…..I’ll go now” and he slunk off to Drayga, already on his way to their destination.

Arriving at the Boutique, They stopped to marvel at the building. It was called Carousel Boutique from what Drayga had learned. It was a tall, decorated, circular building. They had moved closer to enter but when Drayga entered the building, he saw a white pony running around the main room looking for something.

“Oh dear, oh dear, where is that ribbon?” She said, turning to the stairs, “Sweetie! Have you seen the ribbons! I need them to decorate the main hall!!” Turning to the door, she saw her guests and gasped.

“What are you wearing!” she said, looking over the clothes condition. “Bad outfits on my guess” Dragoon said sarcastically. Looking at him, she said “Obviously.” She looked Drayga over and appeared to be studying his flank. Turning a cherry red, he turned, “Wh..is this how you serve customers?!”

“No, your Cutie Mark is intriguing” She said.

“My….Cutie mark??” He asked. She looked at him with an odd look, “How do you not know what a cutie mark is?” His face grew to an even darker shade of red, “Uhh………..i don’t really know how to respond”

She sighed and began to explain, “A Cutie Mark is a symbol of a ponies special talent. Yours doesn’t look like any I’ve seen.” Dragoon saw where she looked and saw a mark. It had a sun shooting a beam of light down with a sword going down the light. “It’s the Paladin corps symbol” he said. Drayga looked and replied, “So it is, and I can guess yours is the Dark Knight Insignia.” After lifting his tattered trenchcoat, he saw that he was right, for he had a picture of clashing swords and a beam of moonlight hit where they met.

The mare looked confused but looked as if she remembered something, “Oh, how rude of me, I forgot to introduce myself. I am Rarity” Drayga bowed, “I am Drayga and this is my brother Dragoon.” Rarity was a beautiful mare with her purple mane in curls. Her cutie mark showed three diamonds, glistening slightly.  She looked pleased at Drayga, “So what is a strapping young stallion like you doing here?” She asked, flitting her eyes, smiling jokingly. Dragoon gagged. Drayga instantly turned red again, “Uh..we came to see if we could get new clothes.”

“Ah..of course.” She said surprised. She turned around and went to grab something out of the back, Turning to Dragoon, Drayga started “She..uh..works fast”

Dragoon couldn’t help but snicker. “You’re a ladies man, in human form or pony” She later came back with a vest and a trenchcoat in similar colors and handed them to the two brothers. Drayga started out as soon as possible, but Dragoon lagged behind, walking towards Rarity. “Anything else darling?” She asked, her accent clearly flowing.

“Were you serious about him being ‘handsome’?” He asked, a slight smile appearing on his face. She looked him in the eye and replied, “He is handsome, but I was joking with him. It was fun seeing him turn from white to red” Dragoon snickered and replied “Thanks for the clothes.” With that he left. Now empty, except for Rarity, the Boutique was now silent. She turned to her rolls of ribbon and then looked up slowly. “They forgot to pay…”

Leaving the Boutique, Dragoon ran to catch up to his brother. When he caught up to him he saw that he was a little red from their encounter with Rarity.

“That was interesting. I think I found a good weapon against you.” He joked, the grin still on his face. Drayga turned to his brother and said, “What are you talking about?” “I could just mind control miss Rarity into embarrassing the shit out of you.”

“That won’t work.” Before Dragoon replied, they heard a noise from behind them. Turning, they saw that Rarity was running to them, with a saddle bag strapped on.

“Wait!” She yelled, “You forgot to pay!” when she got closer she slowed her pace, “You need to pay for those clothes.” Drayga looked at Dragoon skeptically and returned his gaze to Rarity then looked down, “We has no moneys.” Drayga joked. Dragoon slapped his hoof to his forehead and Rarity had looked at him skeptically. “I beg your pardon?” “We’re broke” “O---h that’s what you meant.” She replied, “Well seeing as you’re broke, you can make it up by bringing this to Applejack.”

She then pulled a rolled up banner from her bag and handed it to Drayga. He looked at it and back to Rarity then back to it. “What’s the matter?” She asked. He then focused and a blue aura enveloped the Banner and lifted it into the air. She looked pleased and trotted off. Dragoon looked at Drayga and asked, “Do you know how you’re doing that?” Without breaking focus, He looked at his brother and said “No. I just tried and succeeded. Now let’s go before my focus breaks”

As they moved, Drayga found it easier to carry the banner and soon found no trouble in it. He went and asked the other ponies where AppleJack lived as Dragoon stood back and watched. He looked irritated, slowly thinking to himself. The town’s ponies had directed them towards Sweet Apple Acres. Upon arriving to the farmstead, Drayga looked at the vast rows of apple trees.

“So many, how do you think they pick them if they don’t have hands?” He asked. “We don’t pick’em, we Buck’em.” Both of them turned to see AJ standing behind them, along with another pony, much smaller than the other.

“Oh, this here is mah sister, AppleBloom” She said, introducing the little filly. AppleBloom was a smaller pony with a red mane along with a similar bow. She was yellow and didn’t have a cutie mark, which left Drayga confused.

“Sorry if this is an odd question, but why doesn’t she have her cutie mark?” This made AppleBloom look down momentarily but then AJ intervened, “A pony has to find what they’re good at and she’s not just there yet.” She looked down at her sister then back to their guests and A.B. looked at them and studied the two newcomers.

“What are your Cutie marks?” She asked, sharing the same accent as her sister. The Brothers had paused momentarily and Drayga had replied first,

“Mine means I’m a defender of justice and a seeker of Truths. I fend for the weak and help anyone in need. That is the job of the Paladin” He finished and looked at his Brother, who somehow had been put into a mean mood since Rarity’s. He looked back and scowled.

“My abilities mean nothing to them, let them keep their questions.” With that he had walked of, his unusual anger fuming as he walked.

“Ah don’t like him.” AppleBloom said, turning to her sister, “This guy is all right.” She finished with a smile. She then walked off towards the barn, leaving Drayga and Applejack alone at the entrance. “Soooo….Why did ya’ll come along here?” She asked in the silence. “Rarity asked me to deliver this Banner you commissioned.” He replied. He handed her the rolled up banner and looked at her. “I’m sorry about Dragoon, He’s usually like this”

“It’s fine, you should let him stew on it.”

“Well I need to go find him” He then turned and ran off in the direction of his Brother. “Them are some weird ponies” she mumbled to herself as she headed to the barn.

The Celebration

As the next few days let on, Drayga had established a few friendly communications. He learned how to handle basic magic from Rarity and many customs from Applejack. Neither he nor Dragoon had seen this Fluttershy pony during their first few days. Dragoon had left each day, looking for something, but came back empty each day. Soon the summer sun celebration was two days away and things began to change

Yawning, Drayga sat up from his bed of hay. “Good thing I’m already used to this…” He mumbled, itching his back. Looking around his room in the Inn, he saw that Dragoon was gone again.

“What am I gonna do with him…”

Getting his vest on and shaking the grogginess from his mind, he got ready swiftly and left the inn. Gladly, while receiving magic lessons from Rarity, he also got some Bits for helping around her shop. He left and headed to the main square to find a carriage with two passengers aboard land in the square. One was a purple pony with deep violet hair that flattens above her face. She had a purple streak go through her mane and tail. Her Cutie mark was a purple star, surrounded by smaller stars. Her companion was a short two-legged dragon. He was purple and had green spikes decorating his body.

“A dragon?” Drayga whispered to himself, “Amusing, this I need to see.” Walking closer, he started to hear what the dragon was saying.

“…Just try and make some friends Twilight.” The Dragon said, “Maybe the ponies of Ponyville have interesting things to talk about.” As he said that, Drayga noticed that Pinkie Pie was walking in their direction. “Uh-Oh” Drayga thought. She stopped in front of them and the Dragon continued, “Come on, give it a try.” Twilight’s ears went down and timidly said “uhh hello?” Pinkie then shot up in the air gasping, similar to when she met Drayga and Dragoon. Running off, Twilight turned to the small dragon and looked disapproving.

Drayga scooted closer and heard the dragon say something else. “Well….maybe she wasn’t a good start.” He then started scanning the crowd looking for something. When his gaze locked with Drayga’s, he turned to Twilight and said, “Why not him?” She followed his gaze and saw who he meant. “Okay Spike”, she said, getting slightly irritated at him, “I’ll try again if it means that you’ll stop bothering with this.”

She started in his direction and walked up to Drayga, skeptically at first. “Uh….hi?” She asked. Drayga had kept calm. “Hello miss…?”

“Twilight, Twilight Sparkle”

“Interesting name, I’m Drayga Hyru” She continued to look at him and look confused. He decided to step in after a small while. “uh, what are you doin here?” That had snapped her out of her lapse.

“Oh..I..uh..I’m here on behalf of Princess Celestia for the summer sun celebration.” She started, “I have to check and see if everything is ready for her arrival.” Drayga wore a face of interest at this point.

“A princess? I didn’t know there was a royal family here, or royalty at all.” She then looked confused at him, “How could you not know this? Everypony know about Celestia.”

“Let’s just say I’m not used to these customs.”

“What do you mean?” Twilight replied, her curiosity beginning to show. “I’ll explain later but I’d like to go with you and meet some of the other ponies around here, including the ones that are holding this festival together.” She paused a moment, looking at Spike, who motioned to take him with.

“Ok let’s go.” She headed off to the first destination and Drayga quickly caught up to her.

After trotting for a while, they had come to Sweet Apple Acres. Spike had unrolled a list he was carrying and was talking to Twilight. Drayga was lost to his thoughts and when they arrived, he saw Dragoon talking to Apple Jack. He moved closer and started hearing some of the conversation.

“…so you haven’t found anything odd around the Farm?” Dragoon asked, His dark calm flowing in his voice.

“No sirree, I haven’t. I must say though, it’s refreshing to not see you moody like you were when you and your brother came by to deliver the banner.” She replied. He looked at her and looked away, “Space travel leaves a person disoriented” At this, AJ looked at him oddly but before she answered she saw Drayga and Twilight standing there. Dragoon locked eyes with Drayga and scowled.

“And what have you been doing dear Brother?” Drayga looked at him like he made a joke. “Oh you know, makin friends, bakin cupcakes.” He replied, rolling his eyes. Dragoon looked at Drayga menacingly, But before he replied, AJ came in between them, “stop fighting you two.” She looked at them, then to Twilight.

“Sorry about that, I don’t know what’s up with these two.” She said turning to Dragoon, whispering, “What’s the matter with you?” He turned away, “He isn’t the pony you think he is.” He mumbled trotting away. Twilight looked confused. She turned towards Drayga “He’s your brother?” She asked.

Drayga looked down, “Yeah, it’s just….he doesn’t exactly share the brotherly opinion. He witnessed something that made him how he is.” AJ looked at him, curiously sad, “Care to explain?” “I don’t think this is a good time” His usual happy demeanor broke, revealing a sad look for a little then it was replaced by his usual face. “Come’on, your job awaits.”

Twilight and Apple Jack looked disoriented but continued on. Drayga started off towards the inn, leaving the others behind.

After walking for a short while, Drayga started to hear a whistle in the air. He perked up by the beautiful noise. Following the source of the music, he came upon a yellow mare with a pink mane conducting a chorus of birds. “That sounds beautiful” He said. “AHHH!!” The mare yelled, startled by the newcomer. Her yell had caused the birds to fly away. “Oh….sorry bout that…” he said. The mare had turned towards him and he got a better look at her. She was a beautiful mare with green eyes and had her hair off to one side.

“Oh..uh.. hi..” she said, her voice barely audible. Drayga had looked confused but pressed on the conversation.

“uh...My name is Drayga Hyru and what’s your name?”

“My name is Flutter…”

“Come again?”

“It’s Flutter…”

“o..k? You’re a shy pony so are you Fluttershy?”

She nodded, flinching at his sentence. He then stared at her in silence, then the birds reappeared on the branches. “Your uh birds are back, so I’ll just leave you to your music.” He said walking off. “Well that was odd. I wonder where Dragoon went.” He thought, thinking about what had happened.

As he walked, he found himself back at the main square of town, when suddenly, somepony crashed into him, knocking him to the ground. “Owwww….Watch where your goin!” he groaned. Looking at his assaulter, He noticed RainbowDash had been the one who crashed. “Jeez, I thought that you’re the best flier in Equestria.”

She looked at him embarrassed, “Sorry, new trick. Still needs a few changes.” She offered her hoof to pick him up. Taking it, he lifted himself to a standing position. “Ok well aren’t you in charge of something today?” He asked. She started a low fly and replied, “Yeah, I got weather duty but I can wait till later, I need to practice my moves for the WonderBolts.”

“The who?” He replied, curious. RainbowDash had looked at him in surprise, “You don’t know who the WonderBolts are?!” Drayga looked embarrassed, “Yeah, I’m lost.” Before she replied, she looked up to see Dragoon trotting towards them.

“Uh-oh, your cranky brother is on his way.” Turning, Drayga saw that Dragoon was definitely walking towards him. When he got closer, Dragoon started talking, “What are you doing?” He asked, a hint of anger in his voice. “I’ve been looking everywhere for you.”

Rainbow saw this as a cue and flew off.

“Why?” Drayga asked curious to his brother’s sudden anger.

“I’ve been told by Rarity that she requires assistance at the main hall for the celebration thing.”

“Ok but why are you so mad?” He asked, a pressure building in the air.

“While you have been making friends with these ponies, I’ve been searching for our swords.”

“OH SHIT! I FORGOT ABOUT THOSE!” Drayga exclaimed, Dragoon watching calmly. “Have you found them?”

“No”

“Gah, I totally forgot, about them. Thanks for reminding me, but I need to help Rarity. I’ll help you look for them when we’re done.” With that he left. Dragoon watched as his brother left. Suddenly the sky went pitch black, the air frigid and voice was in the air, terrifying and dark.

“Your worst fears are returning… Your haunts that were once gone, come back once more…”

Afterwards the air returned to normal. Dragoon looked apprehensive. He recognized that voice but could not place who it belonged to. Running off after Drayga to report the omen, he hurried to his destination.

At the Main hall, Drayga had met Rarity, who needed assistance holding materials. He stood on his hind legs, holding a basket with a comically large tower of materials in it.

“Are you sure, you can handle that?” Rarity asked, looking at a set of ribbon, for a decoration. Drayga’s voice strained under the pressure,

“I…I’m good.” He had to hold the materials due to his lack of magic training to steady it. Wobbling to one side when Rarity took a ribbon, he stumbled but recovered to hold it. Suddenly, the door open and Twilight and Spike entered the hall, Twi’s mane fluffed up completely. Rarity was too focused to notice, but Drayga had looked at the newcomers and locked eyes with them.

“Howdy!” he greeted, stumbling under the weight of his load. Spike had laughed to himself a little and Twilight had waved but went to look at the décor. Spike looked around and soon set his eyes on Rarity.

“Beautiful” he said, sighing slightly. “It sure is” Twilight had replied, “This décor is beautiful” “Not that, her.” At this Rarity was overdriving the ribbon, causing Drayga to stumble even more. Twilight had stood behind her, causing no reaction. Twi had finally spoken up,

“Hello?” Rarity turned around and saw her, “Oh hello…whahahahaaaa…….Your mane, what happened!?” she asked, gasping loudly, causing Drayga to jump a little, tipping his tower too far.

“Nononononono”, He said as all the material fell to the ground, “NNNoooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!” Twilight looked at him oddly.

“Are you always like this?” She asked, as Spike laughed at the mess Drayga created, “More or less” he replied, picking up some of the spilt fabric. Rarity pulled Twilight out of the door and Drayga could hear her talking about prettying her up at the boutique. He made a gag face at the idea but then noticed Spike was still in the room, staring at him.

“Can I help ya little buddy?” Spike had waved his head and returned his gaze, “Sorry lost in my thoughts.” With that, he ran towards the door but before, opening, Dragoon burst through the door, slamming it into Spike.

“Drayga, I think something’s up.” He said.

“What’s that, oh grumpy one?” He replied sarcastically.

“I think we aren’t the only ones from our world to come here.” At this, Drayga took a more serious look,

“Do you know who?”

“No but we need to keep an eye out.” Dragoon then took a look at what Drayga was doing and looked confused,

“What happened here? Did a clown throw up?” He asked, looking at all the fabric scattered around the room. Drayga snickered but continued his pace. Dragoon soon lost interest but as he turned around, He saw Spike on the ground dazed.

“What happened to him?” Drayga snickered even more.

As the day passed by, Dragoon had left his brother to his duties. He explored around the town learning more about the customs of the villagers. As the day turned to dusk, He soon spotted a purple pony with the dragon he saw at the Boutique followed by a yellow and pink pony he hasn’t seen before. He decided to get close but they entered a house built into a tree. He followed inside as it was pitch black. Fearing that something was wrong he turned around but then the lights flashed on.

“SURPRISE!!!” Turning from the door, he saw the room was filled with ponies of different colors and they had surrounded the purple pony. As she stood there, Pinkie pie had approached her and started talking to her. He saw this as a cue to leave and turned back to the door. As he reached for it, it swung wide open, smashing him against the wall. Drayga was the opener and stepped inside as he asked loudly,

“A party and nopony invites me?!” Dragoon resented being related to him yet again as he recovered. Thinking about leaving still, he reached for the door yet again and was stopped as Drayga had grabbed his trenchcoat, pulling him to the crowd. He resisted but his brother’s strength prevailed.

“But I want to live!” He complained, “LIIIIIIIVVVVVVEEE!” Drayga plopped him in the crowd and went of an opening to start dancing. Dragoon sat where he was, tapping his hoof on the ground, “jeez, I’m surrounded by idiots” He mumbled.

Drayga had been dancing in the crowd as most ponies joined or watch. When he decided to take a break, he went over to the table with punch. When he arrived, he noticed Pinkie and Twilight arrive as well.

“Oh hey there Twilight.” He said as they arrived. Both ponies looked up and Pinkie’s eyes widened.

“It’s you! You came too! But where is your dark and mysterious friend from the bakery?” She asked as Twi poured herself a drink.

“Actually, He’s my brother and he’s probably sulking on the dance floor.” That made Pinkie laugh and Twilight shook, trying not to spew her drink. Some ponies came by the table and at this point Twi turned around, face red.

AJ asked “What’s wrong, sugarcube?” Twi then suspended in the air while her mane turned to fire, making her leave the room in a hurry. Turning to the bottle with her drink, Drayga looked closely,

“Huh, hot sauce..” Pinkie then poured some on a cupcake and ate it. The other’s looked at her oddly, which she replied, “What, It’s good”

As the Party went on, Drayga learned more about Equestria. Dragoon remained out of sight a majority of the time, popping into view every once in a while. Soon they announced the rising of the sun and Drayga gathered his brother and left. Soon they arrived at the town hall and filed in the building. Seeing that everyone was inside, a tan pony moved to the podium. She was slightly older looking and had a gray mane that stuck out a little on her head and her cutie mark was a rolled up scroll. She cleared her throat and begun her speech.

“Fillies and Gentlecolts, as mayor of Ponyville, it’s my great pleasure to announce the beginning of the Summer Sun Celebration!” At this everyone cheered and she continued after it settled down. “In just a few moments, our town will witness the magic of the sunrise and celebrate, this, the longest day of the year! And now, it’s my great honor to introduce the ruler of the land, the very pony who gives us the sun and the moon, the good, the wise, the bringer of harmony to all of Equestria, Princess Celestia!”

Above her, the curtains opened to reveal no one was there. Multiple gasps were heard in the room and many ponies chattered to themselves. “keep calm everypony, I’m sure there’s a reasonable explanation for this.” Soon a blue mist formed where Celestia was going to be, congealing to form a pitch black unicorn with Pegasus wings. She wore blue armor and her eyes, were a blue-ish green with slits instead of pupils.

“ Well well well, my beloved subjects…” She said, a calm voice emanating through the room, “It’s been a long time since I’ve seen your precious little sun loving faces.”

Rainbow dash flew up into the air, proclaiming, “What did you do to our princess?” She then, prepared to fly, but AppleJack had grabbed her tail, mumbling something under her breath. The black pony had laughed, “Why, am I not royal enough for you? Don’t you know who I am?” Pinkie Pie piped up, guessing random names but then was quieted by AJ when she stuffed a cupcake into her mouth, looking pleased. The black pony had moved to Fluttershy, who was conducting the music and continued her rhetoric, “so does my crown not count since I was imprisoned for a thousand years?” Moving towards Rarity, she continued, “Do you not recall the legends? Did you not see the signs?”

Suddenly, Twilight piped up, “I did. And I know who you are. You’re the Mare in The Moon, NightMare Moon” Everyone gasped at this realization. NightMare Moon then looked directly at Twi,

“well well well, somepony remembers me. Then you know why I’m here.” Twi began to get nervous,

“you’re here to…to..” She stopped and NightMare began to laugh. “Remember this day little ponies, for it was your last…”

“Not on my watch!” Drayga yelled, running to the center of the room. NightMare Moon looked down at him and chuckled, “And what will you do?”

He snickered and said quietly, “what I do best.” Suddenly his horn glowed bright and he shot forth a ball of energy that shown like the sun. NightMare looked shocked and when the ball hit her, she let out a cry of pain. Turning to the mist she moved to the ground, Drayga yelling at ponies to leave. “You’re an interesting one aren’t you?” NightMare said, nursing the burn on her chest. You wield something nopony else does, and that makes you a problem.” Drayga looked around to see the room empty,

“Damn, where’s Dragoon?” “well let’s do this.” charging up his spell, he ran at NightMare, making her retreat into the mist again.

“Not here, warrior, I’ve got other matters to attend to.” Drayga stopped his spell and looked for the door, “I’ve gotta get to the others.” Running out the door, he left the atrium, in hopes of saving this town.
