The Six Stones

Celestia was at the Tree of Harmony, a place sacred to all Heroes. She was almost in a panicked state. She hurriedly removed the six stones from each branch. In each of these stones, she transferred some of her power. As she put the last stone in her back pack, she heard something. It was the sinister laugh of the Held Killers.

All of the sudden, a giant pillar fell near Celestia, who dodged it. Then the other killer fire a magic blast at her. While dodging the blast, she soon found herself on one of the outside bridges. But, she was cornered by the two. Gilda who came from the right and Trixie from the left.  As Trixie prepared a blast, Celestia quickly took flight to escape. S So then she was off on a journey to deliver one stone to a Pony she had chosen.

Her first destination was the boutique, were Rarity was giving a lesson on gems. When one student broke her practice gem, Rarity gave her one from her collection. Just the Celestia flew in and gave her a dark purple, diamond shaped stone.

"Give to others." said Celestia, as she flew off.

Her next stop was Sweet Apple Acres, where Applejack was renovating the barn. Everyone knew Applejack was the most honest pony they know.

"Builder! Prove your honesty." said Celestia, as she placed a orange, apple shaped stone, behind her.

Celestia's next stop was the Cloudsdale weather factory. There, Rainbow Dash was repairing a machine she broke during rainbow production. But she just made it worst and was tossed, from an explosion, to the feet of Celestia.

"Prove your loyalty and don't break it." she said, giving her a red, lighting shaped stone.

Next was Sugar Cube Corner, where Pinkie Pie was baking cake for a birthday. Then, Celestia flew by the window and dropped a dark pink, balloon shaped stone in Pinkie's hoof.

"Lift the spirits of others and don't bake it." she said flying by.

She was on her second to last delivery, the edge of the Everfree Forest. Fluttershy ,in her cottage was caring for her animals, putting them to bed. Suddenly, Celestia appeared, startling her.

"Show others your kindness." she said, giving her a pink, butterfly shaped stone.

Celestia was now off to Canterlot to give the last stone to a chosen pony.

****Twilight's Study****

Twilight was getting a parchment to decode. She was a spell caster, unicorns who decoded spells found by heroes. Princess Luna has asked Twilight, the greatest spell caster, to decode the Spell of Time. She had just gotten what she believed to be it and began to decode it. After she was done she realized it was a spell for maxing pumpernickel bread. In her disappointment she threw the away and it landed at Celestia's feet.

"Making great spells, Twilight?" she asked

"Celestia!" said Twilight, surprised,"Not yet. But with the right scrolls."

"First, Equestria needs your help." said Celestia, giving her a light purple, star shaped stone.

"My help?" questioned Twilight.

"Yes. Ponies have been disappearing, a shadow lies over the land."

They were interrupted by sinister laughter in the study.

"Keep it safe." said Celestia, scanning the area.

They both noticed a shadow on the wall. Twilight, sensing a fight, backed away, trying to reach the door. All of the sudden, Trixie burst out from behind, surprising them both.

"Did you think you could get away from us that easily, sister?" she hissed

"You lost the right to call me sister long ago!" replied Celestia, backing away.

The Gilda dropped down from behind. "This time you won't escape, Hero!" she said.

Celestia drew her shield and knocked Gilda to the rafters above. Twilight moved towards the exit to escape, but was grabbed by Trixie.

"Were do you think your going?!" she said.

Celestia kept fighting Gilda till she knocked her down to the ground. As she was about to finish her off, Trixie interrupted.

"Drop the shield or I'll drop Twilight" she said , holding twilight out a window.

Celestia, accepting defeat, dropped her shield at her feet. Gilda got up and cuffed Celestia.

"Compassion was always your weakness, sister!" she said, dropping Twilight.

Celestia then kicked her shield out the window. The shield caught Twilight and it sent her soaring through the air. As she was flying, she received a vision.

****Vision 1****

Twilight was in a white space, her stone floating around her head. In astonishment, she touched the stone. It then turned into the image of Celestia.

"Save the Heart of Friendship." ,it said, "Find the Great Spells."

Then the ghostly image began to float away, taking the light with it.

"Wait!", said Twilight chasing after it, "Don't leave me alone!"

**** Vision End ****

Twilight kept flying through the air like a rocket, until she came to rest on a tower top across from hers. She then got up and saw the Held Killers taking Celestia away.

"No!" yelled Twilight, "It's all my fault."

All she could do was cry.
