Return Of Disharmony

Once on the train the girls set out to Canterlot. None of them actually knew what was going on or why they were needed to be in Canterlot in such a hurry. Knowing Pinkie Pie she would usually have one of her "hunches" and be able to tell what's going on. Unfortunately this time, she was clueless.

The girls grew on the fact she was able to make these kinds of predictions. But without a clue in the world for the fun little party mare, the girls began to become a little worried.

"Twi", Applejack said to break the silence, If Pinkie can't have one of her "hunches" isn't that usually a sign that we need to be worried for whatever it is that's dragging us all the way to Canterlot in such a hurry?

"Honestly Applejack" Twilight said with a confused reply, "For the fact that Pinkie doesn't know actually does worry me".

Twilight was truly being honest. But under her face of worry was a mind of wonder. She knew this was something to be concerned about. But this trip to Canterlot just might help her find the answers that she's looking for. These answers that she needed to know were in fact related to the recent attack by the Everfree Forest. All thanks to the god of chaos, Discord.

Rainbow Dash finally began to speak up. "How can Pinkie not have a "hunch"? She always has a "hunch". And I have to say with every ounce of truth that I have, it scares me that she doesn't have a clue".

"I know exactly what you mean Dashie", Pinkie said with confusion in her voice", usually I would laugh this off but it seems too hard too. And when I can't laugh something off it starts to scare me too."

After the discussion the girls became silent again, thinking to themselves. All still wondering about this ordeal with the Princess and why she needed them. Eventually they reached Canterlot. After getting off board the train Royal Guards began to surround the girls.

"What is this", Twilight questioned the guards, "I thought we went over this before, I don't need to be escorted around".

"Sorry your majesty" said Guard in a strong and very reassuring voice, "But Princess Celestia requested that you be escorted to the castle. Just in case of any incidents may occur on the way there".

His response was enough to convince the girls that something was wrong and they were in serious danger. The thought of whatever could cause trouble for the girls on the way to the Castle made their spines shiver.

As they walked to on to the Canterlot there was a surprisingly increase in the amount of Royal Guards in Canterlot. A lot more than the number during the threat against Canterlot during the Wedding of Princess Cadence and Shining Armour. That only made their thoughts worse and the worried expressions started to show on their faces. The looks on the Guards faces showed they were ready to fight anything showing signs of threats.

Ponies around town all starred in awe as the watched to girls being escorted be the Guards. Not only were they escorting royalty, but also the other five elements of harmony. And since each of the girls held such strong titles, it all seemed pretty normal. Luckily that's what the Guards wanted the towns ponies to think. Letting the town run wild knowing they were in danger would be mayhem, in which it would cause difficulty for the Guards and keeping the town quiet from the threat that was looking for the girls.

Eventually the girls reached the castle. They were quite relieved that they made it, the thought that trouble could have broke lose put them on edge so they could be ready to run of needed. Once in the Castle Twilight and the girls were introduced to the Princesses of the Son and the Moon.

"Welcoming your highness Princess Twilight Sparkle" said a very familiar looking Guard. Of course Twilight knew right away that this was the rookie of the Royal Guards, Flash Sentry. Twilight blushed a little at the sight of him and felt calm and relaxed.

When Twilight was around Flash she felt safe and secure. She still had a crush on him of course, but didn't have the courage to walk up to him and tell her how she felt.

Twilight knew that as nice as it sounded, now was not the time to fantasize of the stallion she liked. She stood at immediate attention and bowed before the two Princesses as they approached, along with the rest of the girls.

"No need for Royal gestures at the time Twilight we need to hurry with this meeting"  said the tall Princess with the flowing multi-colored mane.

"Yes, this news is very much important and needs to shared with all of you", announced the Princess of the moon, "as you may be the only ones to stop the destiny from being fulfilled".

"Of course", said Twilight making sure to keep calm and get in on the full details of the subject, please fill us in on whatever seems to be happening.

"Right", said Princess Celestia, "A thousand years ago when we defeated discord and imprisoned him in stone, his plan to attack Equestria with his living plants failed until just recently with the tree of harmony and losing its power. Well not only did the tree of harmony keep the plants from attacking, but with the plants being kept from surfacing kept a greater evil from arising and taking over.

At this point Princess Luna stepped in, "And when the plants finally arose so did this greater evil. "His name is Inferius".

"Luna and I defeated years before the discord outbreak occurred". Celestia said as she stepped back into the conversation, "And this stallion is a great threat of evil. He has been able to do more damage to Equestria far more than Discord could have done".

"And if none of us are able to stop him, then Equestria is doomed into eternal evil" said Luna, "You must do whatever it takes to stop this stallion, and prey that he can be stopped".

It was right then and there that the girls had become more afraid than anything they have ever experienced. As soon as those words were said, that's when when the explosion was heard. Guards were calling for command, ordering their Lieutenants to positions. Though those cries were ended by screams of pain and the sound of stallions dying, then a couple minutes passed, and then it fell into complete silence.

And then there the sound of the castle doors being knocked on echoed in the room. This told the girls they were in serious danger and needed to think fast.
