Element of War

"It might be a good time to head home, Star. It's getting mighty dark." Applejack said, watching the sunset. She turned around looked at all the apples scattered across the floor that missed the baskets. "Ah can clean this up mah self! Hurry on home." Applejack began to pick up the apples one by one. "C'mon you can go on. I got it!" Applejack said.

"Thanks AJ, and I think my legs are working again!" Nandi said. Nandi stumbled on her legs. It seemed as if she got new legs and she was trying them for the first time. Nandi wobbled her way to what she called "home". She flew up to her big tree, and sat right in the middle. Nandi closed her eyes, and cradled herself in the tree. Leaves fell off as she fell deep into slumber.

"I cannot see....."

"I can see darkness"

Star fell deeper and deeper into the darkness when she fell upon a dark surface. Her back was hit so hard, it felt like it shattered. amongst this pain, Nandi Star abruptly woke up. She didn't wake up to any ordinary day, it seemed as if half of Ponyville was destroyed. The tree Nandi was sleeping in was almost destroyed too. Changelings were pouring out of the sky. "OH MY CELESTIA!!! What the heck is going on?!" Nandi exclaimed. Nandi leaped out of the tree, forgetting how unstable her legs were. She crashed down onto her face. There were craters everywhere on the surface, with some changelings erupting from them. Nandi stood right next to a crater of which one changeling hasn't gotten up from. It made a menacing hiss, and Nandi shrieked in horror. She dashed off to Twilight's library. She dodged many changelings turning into the beloved civilians of Ponyville.

"Stay back! You won't take me alive!" shouted a familiar voice.

Nandi gasped and started to fly. "Twilight!!!" Nandi shouted. As Nandi got closer to the library, she saw books everywhere. Changelings were scattered on the floor with cuts and bruises and burns over their bodies. Spike and Twilight were defending the library. The baby dragon spewed flames out of his mouth, and onto the opposing changelings. Nandi grabbed Twilight and Spike and pulled them into the library.

"Twilight. You and I have very strong magic. We need to combine our magic to defeat these changelings. Or some time to keep them away from Ponyville for a while." Nandi said nervously. Twilight nodded her head. Twilight and Nandi's horns touched at the point and a magic surge went between them both. Spike moved back to the furthest point of the library. The changelings trying to break in had no idea what the were doing. The pink auras of their horns grew brighter and brighter. And with a huge blast of light, the changelings were blown away. The two mares collapsed onto the floor of the library. The poor baby dragon cowered, covering his eyes. Twilight got up and turned to Nandi who was lying on the floor, knocked out cold.

"I'll go message Princess Celestia about this." Twilight walked through what was remaining of her home, and picked up a quill and parchment.
