Previous ChapterNext Chapter

As Princess Twilight Sparkle makes her way towards the castle, she notice that the once busy streets of Canterlot is a complete ghost town, all the doors shut and locked, all windows are covered up by curtains, and only the passing of the wind is heard.

"Wow this sure is a dead town," said the voice inside Twilight's head "I thought I said not to talk to me" Twilight stated with a blank face "I think not, you said not to talk to you when were near Celestia, plus I never agreed to anything remember" "...," Twilight looked down, not knowing how to counter that last statement Twilight decised to change the subject "So 'who' or what are you?" "If your implying that I'am that Discord fellow, then your dead wrong, I just happen to be your subconscious finally speaking out to you" "Thats not how it works" "Believe what you want, just know I am here to stay," questioning her sanity, Twilight decides that it was more important to meet with the princess, then to talk to a fragment of her imagination.

Upon entering the castle, two royal guards greeted her, "Ah Princess 'Twilight' we've been expecting you," said one of the guards

"The princesses will meet you in the throne room, please follow us," said the second guard, as Twilight followed the two guards she noticed something different about them, the first guard that spoked to her had a white coat and blond mane, the difference between him and the others is that he dosen't wear a helmet, showing off his slicked back mane, but the thing that caught her attention the most was that he was wearing sunglasses indoors, and his cutie mark is covered up by the armor, the second one is a unicorn, he's different mainly because he has a slightly dark blue coat and a orange mane, most of Princess Celestia's guards have white or gray colored coats, and since he too wears the royal armor Twilight can't see his cutie mark.

The two guards open the door to the throne room, as Twilight entered she was greeted by her brother Shining Armor and her sister-in-law Princess Cadence, "Twily!" Shining Armor said with great enthusiasm

"'Shinning Armor', 'Cadance'!" Twilight run and gave each of them a hug, Twilight and Cadance started to do their usual thing.

"Sunsine, Sunshine, Ladybugs awake, clap your hooves, and do a little shake" both Twilight and Cadance laughed.

"So why are the two of you here? Shouldn't you be at the Crystal Empire?" asked Twilight

"'Princess Celestia' requested for us to be here,"explained Cadence, " and I am guessing your here for the same reason".

"That is correct," Princess Celestia walks into the room and sits on her throne, with her sister Luna sitting by her side, "I am pleased that all three of you could make it".

"Princess 'Celestia', whats this all about?" asked Twilight

"Princess 'Twilight' I see your friends are not with you, is everything all right?" asked Celestia

"Yes they just, couldn't find the time to come" replied Twilight

"I see, well then to answer your question 'Twilight', I have requested your presence to speak to you about a very concerning matter, for a while now citizens of Canterlot have been dissappearing, the ponynappers have not made any communications with anypony, I have sent out many royal guards to investigate, most of the time they return with little or no information, however when they do have something its always the same, they find that the pony is dead" even though Celestia is know for not showing any kind of weakness, Twilight could see the sadness in her old teacher's eyes.

"The pain of not being able to protect her subjects from an unknown enemy, I can't even imagine how it must feel like," Twilight finds herself tearing up.

"For now we've been able to keep the death of these ponies a secrete," Princess Luna continues her sister's speech, "I am sure you all saw how Canterlot is very quiet, that was the reaction of the citizens just hearing the words ponynapping, if they were to here about the death of ponies, well we think its best they don't find out about it until we resolved the situation".

Concerned, Shinning Armor asked "Wait so you don't even know who's responseable for this?"

"At the time being no, but thats why the three of you are here, we wish to warn you so that you could take extra precautions and for your help as well". continued Luna

"As a former memeber of the Royal guards of course" proclaimed Shinning Armor as he bow down

"I will be honored to help" Cadence said as she bow down

"Don't worry Princess we won't let you down" stated Twilight as she began to bow down

Celestia looked into their eyes, one after the other, and she saw their determination, "Thank you all," she responded with a smile on her face, "It has been a long day, we will continue this tomorrow, we have prepared rooms for the three of you, the two guards outside will escort you". Celestia stomped her hooves, the doors open and the two guards walk in.

"You've called your highness," the guard with the sunglasses said as he bow down

"Yes, please escort Princess 'Twilight', 'Shinning Armor 'and Princess 'Cadance' to their rooms," requested Celestia

"But of coures your highness," the guard with the sunglasses said, "Blade, you take the lovely couple to their rooms, and Princess Twilight..."

"Um, just Twilight is fine" said Twilight

"As you wish, Miss 'Twilight' I will be escorting you to your room, please follow me," said the guard with sunglasses.

"Sure lead the way," Twilight said as she followed the guard. During that time Twilight asks, "I've never seen you or the other guard before, are you two new here?"

"No we've been working here for quit sometime, the reason you haven't seen us because we work at a different area of the castle, the only reason we had to change positions is because the princess has send out so many guards to investigate the ponynappings, that they were left short hoofed," replied the guard.

"I see, may I ask where in the castle were you guarding?" asked Twilight

"Sorry thats confidential, even for you," replied the guard

"oh okay, then can you at least tell me your name?" asked Twilight

"It would be an honor for a princess such as yourself to know my name, I am 'Albert Wesker', but you can just call me 'Wesker'," replied Wesker, " and my associate you saw a while ago is named 'Honor Blade'"

"'Albert Wesker'? Strange name, it doesn't sound like it would connect with his special talent," Twilight thought. Wesker and Twilight went up a couple of stairs, passed a few hallways, and saw a few maids and guards as they walked by, until Wesker stopped in front of a door.

"Here we are," Wesker opened the door, "We do hope you enjoy the room," Wesker said as he moved aside for Twilight to enter. As Twilight entered the room she saw a large queen bed with white blankets, the bed was place in the middle of the room with the head board press against the wall, three medium size pillows over lapping two large pillows, all five of them white, the rug had a silver colored, flower pattern, they had at least five inches of space from every direction, two small dressers are place next to the bed, both colored white with the edges colored silver, a large stand alone mirror is place at the left of the room, also pressed along the wall, and a closet with sliding doors, and a single window to the right wall, leting in the last light of the sunset into the room.

"Yes, this will do just fine, thank you 'Wesker'," Twilight said as she continued to observe the room

"I am glade to hear that, now I must make my leave, I have something to attend to, have a good night," Wesker leaves the room with a smirk on his face.

"I wonder what happen to those poor ponies, it must be really hard for Princess 'Celestia', Twilight yawns, "Well were going to invesigate this more tomorrow right now I got to get some sleep," Twilight headed to the queen sized bed, unfolded the blanket, laid down and covered her self.

~Four hours later~

"EeeeeeYAAAAHHHH!" A loud scream wakes Twilight up in a panic

"Wha-what was that?!" Twilight slowly got out of bed and troted towards the door, as she open the door she can hear the voice of another pony yelling

"NO! P-PLEASE STAY BACK!" the voice came from down the hall, Twilight gallops toward the voice, thinking that it might be the ponynapppers trying to take some other pony, as Twilight reaches the end of the hall she turns to the right and continues galloping, Twilight stops when she gets to the stairs, she lookes down and sees two royal guards with their heads hunched down over something, Twilight slowly walks down the stairs trying to see what they were doing, as she did she could hear the guards are munching.

"Are... are they eating something?" Twilight thought as she got closer, "E...excuse me but have any of you heard a scream," the guards groan, "he...hello?" the guards raise their heads and turned to Twilight, one look of the guards faces and Twilight was horrifiyed, both the guards mouth were oozing with blood and small bits of meat, their eyes were as small as bits and as yellow as the sun and their pupils were dilated, the two guards start to walk toward Twilight, and as they moved Twilight could see that they were hunching over one of the maids, a larg part of her torso was missing, she could see the inside, all her ribs, heart, liver, and its body nearly covored by its own blood, Twilight steps back, "they... they killed her?! but there suppose to be protecting ponies why would they do such a thing?" the guards start to get closer, "Oh no I think there after me now, I got to get out of here!" Twilight starts galloping back up the stairs and turns to the right and gallops down the hallway, Twilight hears a loud thumbing noise over and over again, each time it becomes more louder, Twilight stops and sees that the loud thumbing is coming from behind a door, not wanting to get any closer, Twilight stands their with fear in her eyes and sweating bullets, then the door breaks open and a maid falls out, her eyes were the same as the guards, not wanting to take the chance, Twilight trys to gallop back but was stopped as she saw the two guards from a little while a go, "Aahh! I am traped! no I can just use my teleportation spell," Twilight started the spell but as she tryed to gather her magic it failed, "What!? whats wrong with me, why can't I use my magic! oh no, I really am traped!" Twilight cuddle down and placed her hoofs on top of her head, closed her eyes and waited for the worst.

"HAAAAaaa!" a loud yell came from behind the two guards, "DON'T YOU DARE TOUCH OUR PRINCESS!" Twilight opened her eyes and lifted her head to see a stallion galloping towards the two guards, he smashed the guard's head to his right with his left hoof, the guard is push to his side and smashes in to the wall, then the stallion quickly positioned himself to face the other guard on his left and smashed his head with his right hoof, "Princess 'Twilight'! follow me!" Twilight got back up on her hoofs and nodded, the stallion started galloping down they way he came and Twilight followed, after a few turns the stallion stopped and opened a door, "quickly in here," Twilight entered the room and the stallion followed, as he entered he started grabing what ever he could to barakat the door, he grabed an oval table, and chairs.

"What is this place?" Twilight asked, as she looked around she saw a small area kitchen, the rug was colored blue and the wall paper had blue, and white strips that go from the bottom to the top, and a few sofas placed against the wall.

"This is the royal guard's break room," the stallion said as he finished placeing the last chair, Twilight notices another door near the kitchen area.

"What about that door?" Twilight asked

"Thats just the bathroom, don't worry I already checked it out this door is the only way into this room, we'll be safe in here, well for now at least," the stallion explained

"Well thank you very much for saving me Mr. umm?" said Twilight

"Oh thats right, I never really properly introduced myself, my name is 'Honor Blade', but you can just call me Blade if you'd like, or HB I am fine with ethier one," Honor Blade stated

"'Honor Blade', oh thats right he's the other guard that works with 'Wesker', he looks a bit different with out the royal armor, although I guess I should have notice earlier, from his coat and mane color, I guess I was to scared from what happen" "I'd say, your suppose to be a powerful figure that all ponies should look up to and you can't even save yourself from a couple of guards" said Twilights subconscious "Hey I wasn't talking you!" Twilight yelled

"Umm what," Honor Blade said with a stubbed look

"Oh hee, sorry I was, it was, umm well, just forget I said that," "real smooth" "Hey I didn't ask you, besides you never talked about me like that so why now?" "I just say what you think, you know your suppose to be the one that protects other ponies, but if you can't even protect yourself then maybe your not fit to be a princess" "geh," Twilight lowers her head.

"You okay Princess 'Twilight'?" Honor Blade asked

"Ye...yes I am fine, I just, can't believe whats happening," Twilight said try to ignore the voice in her head

"Beats me, a friend of mine said one of the guards was sick and wanted to take him to the hospital, so he woke me up to take his postion, but while he was carring him the guard just attacked him, I was able to get the guard away from him, I took him here but after a while he started coughing out blood, I didn't know what to do, and then he started telling me to...well end his life, at first we just argued about it, but all of a sudden he attcked me, I had no choice, after that I heard a scream and went to go check it out, when I saw those two guards going down the hallway I saw a figure, I didn't know it was you but I still followed, and after I heared you scream, I rushed over and well you know the rest," Honor Blade said

"I am sorry about your friend," Twilight apologized

"No its fine besides we should be worring about whats going on now," stated Honor Blade

"Right, but hey how did you know it was me who screamed?" asked Twilight

"Oh I am just good at remembering ponies voices, hey by the way you didn't happen to see Princess 'Celestia' or 'Luna', have you?" Honor Blade asked

"No, wait do you mean their missing?" exclaimed Twilight

"Not sure, I just haven't seen or heared anything about them since the meeting," responded Honor Blade

"They would probably know what to do, we've got to find them," Twilight proclamied

"Right, besdies as a royal guard its my dutie to protect them," Honor Blade mentioned, Honor Blade started moving everything he stacked up out of the way "Damn I guess it was pointless of me to have done this in the first place" after he cleared the door, they took a peak outside, they didn't see anypony, and continued moving.

"I am also worried about 'Cadence' and 'Shining Armor', do you think we could find them," Twilight asked

"Yeah, if were lucky they could still be in their room, come on I know where it is," Honor Blade followed by Twilight continue going down the hallway until they made it to a spiral stair, "The princess wanted them to have more privacy, so their staying in this tower," Honor Blade explained

"A tall tower with lots of stairs, great," Twilight utter with a frown

"Whats wrong with that?" asked Honor Blade

"Lets just say I am tired of them, all right," responded Twilight

"Okay then?" said Honor Blade confused, as they walk up the stairs they can hear a strange noise outside the walls, the more they continue moving the more louder the noise become.

"What's that sound?!" inquired Twilight

"I have no idea," answered Honor Blade, as both of them got closer to the top, a loud boom shocked the tower, "What the?!"

` "Was that an explosion?!" Twilight yelled

"Damn it! sounds like it came from the room, come on we better hurry!" Honor Blade and Twilight galloped to the top, by the time they get to the door the strange noise is even more louder then ever, they felt as if they were going to run into a small tornado, as they open the door a huge gust of wind hit them, as a reaction they close their eyes, however still wanting to see what is causeing the wind they open their eyes half way and saw a stallion standing in front of a hole in the wall, and with some strange flying machine.

"Ah, Princess 'Twilight' and 'Blade', what a pleasent surprise,came to see me off?" the loud noice the stange machine was making, made it hard for them to hear the stallion

"Who are you?!" Honor Blade shouted

"You mean after all this time, you still can't recognize me?" the stallion started walking towards Twilight and Honor Blade, the stallion had a white coat, and a slicked back blond mane, he is wearing sunglasses and a black leather jacket

"We...'Wesker'?!" Honor Blade uttered

"Well at least you know my name, thats a start, however I am afraid were going to have to go our own sepreate ways from here, I do hope you survive long enough for us to have a 'happy' reunion," Wesker stated as he turned back and began to trot towards the flying machine.

"Wait!" Twilight shouted, "Do you know where the princesses and my brother are?!"

Wesker looks back at Twilight and says, "Lets just say, they're safe from the rain of chaos, under our UMBRELLA," he turns back to the flying machine, a part of the machine slids open and Wesker jumps on it and looks back towards the two, "One last friendly advice, these monsters you've been seeing are attracted to loud noises, they'll probably be swarming the castle within minutes, I'd be best if you two get out before they overwhelm you," the machine starts to fly away, as it gets further away the opening door starts to slide back shut.

Back at the tower the two ponies are left in a castle beginning to be overflowed with monsters.
