A New Threat

WARNING: A part in this fic is intense, gruesome and scary. Might not be suitable for children or the easily squeamish.

All the ponies cheered joyfully in the Summer Sun Celebration. They just witnessed Twilight do her own version of the sonic rainboom, which has the same shape and color as her cutie mark. When Nyx saw that in action, she got so excited, she was jumping and cheering excitedly in a manner similar to Fluttershy when she saw Rainbow do a sonic rainboom.

"That's my girl!" Ben said happily. He was amazed that Twilight did such an incredible thing.

"Yay mommy!" Nyx cheered.

"This is so awesome!" Phobos exclaimed, "Twilight's unleashed an ability similar to the Sonic Rainboom! There should be a name for it!"

"That's up to the official creators of the series, Phobos." Nyx commented with a wink, breaking the fourth wall.

Just when one would think it could not get any better, as Twilight looked happily at her family, a Pegasus guard flew up to Celestia, who turned towards him with a look on her face as if to ask, 'what's the problem?' After she got close to him, the guard whispered something to her ear as Luna leaned in to listen. Once the guard finished whispering to them, the two princess ponies looked a bit surprised, but also delighted. They turned to the ponies in the audience as Luna said out loud, "Citizens of Equestria, we have an unexpected surprise."

Twilight looked at the two princess ponies with a confused look on her face. What is going on this time? Celestia spoke next as she said, "We have the honor of introducing to you a neighboring kingdom miles close to the Crystal Empire. Please give a warm Equestrian welcome to the ponies of all kinds from the kingdom of Great Coltain."

Then, a royal fanfare start playing as all the ponies of Ponyville and Canterlot turned towards the source and saw a big royal parade heading towards them. It is the ponies of Great Coltain, making a grand entrance, as they all began to sing.

Coltain Ponies: Joyfully now to our princess we come,

Bringing gifts and all good wishes, too,

We pledge our loyalty anew

Hail to the Princess Twilight!

All of her subjects adore her!

Hail to the King!

Hail to the Queen!

Hail to the Princess Twilight!

Hearing this made Twilight smile proudly, loving how another kingdom respects her greatly.

Health to the Princess,

Wealth to the Princess,

Long live the Princess Twilight!

The Cutie Mark Crusaders ran up to the Mane 6 as Apple Bloom got on Applejack's back, Sweetie got on Rarity's back and Scootaloo got on Rainbow's back, all to get a better look at the Great Coltain parade approaching.

"This is so cool! Ponies from another kingdom, coming to greet Twilight!" Sweetie said excitedly.

Hail Twilight!

Hail Twilight!

"Hey, look at those ponies!" Apple Bloom exclaimed as she pointed to a peculiar bunch of ponies up in the sky. They were flying like the Pegasi, but the most peculiar thing about them is that their wings are different, for they look like butterfly wings, except that they're not like the temporary ones Rarity had one time.

"Wow! They can fly like Pegasi, but they have butterfly wings!" Scootaloo exclaimed in surprise.

"Those must be Flutterponies!" Nyx said in amazement, "I've never seen one before, let alone a bunch of them from another kingdom!"

Health to the Princess,

Wealth to the Princess,

Long live the Princess Twilight!

Hail to the King!

Hail to the Queen!

Hail to the Princess Twilight!

The song ended as all the Great Coltain ponies arrived as they stood face to face with the ponies of Ponyville and Canterlot, all with friendly smiles on their faces. Unknown to anypony in the area, a familiar cloaked figure was watching everything with a smile from the top of a shaded tree far from the ponies.

Lorcan laughed to himself as he said with a smile, "I can't believe it! Flutter Ponies and other friendly ponies from the kingdom of Great Coltain! This is definitely an honor."

Luna looked towards the tree and saw the cloaked dragon, who winked at her, making her smile back, glad that Lorcan could come and see the celebration. When she heard a royal fanfare, the princess of the night glanced back at the direction of the visiting ponies from Great Coltain.

A barker unicorn was holding up a scroll as he announced out, "Their Royal Highnesses, King Obsidia, Queen Tulip, Princess Crystelle and Captain Bushwhack Defender!"

As the unicorn called out the names, four ponies in question walked up to the Princesses, two of them bowing before them in respect. The first pony was a brown alicorn with an orange mane and a swirly orange tail, red eyes and a cutie mark of the Twilight Blaze Keyblade. The only thing he wore was a light blue cross around his neck. His name is King Obsidia of the kingdom of Great Coltain.

Next to him was a magenta-colored Flutterpony with a bright purple mane and a matching swirly tail. Her eyes were in a pinkish color while she wore a pink butterfly necklace around her neck, a pink vest, silver bracelets with pink jewels and pink shoes. The cutie mark of a tulip could be found on her flank. This is Queen Tulip of Great Coltain and one of the respected leaders of the Flutter Province.

The third pony took almost all the Canterlot and Ponyville ponies by surprise, because she looked just like Princess Twilight, only in the colors of Queen Chrysalis; a black-coated alicorn with a blue mane and a green stripe, dark green eyes with a bright green sclera, and a bluish-green star cutie mark. All she wore was a tiara that looked just like the one Twilight formerly had as the Element of Harmony, only that her tiara is a pale, greyish greenish color with a bright green star on the top. She is known as Princess Crystelle, the adopted daughter of King Obsidia and Queen Tulip.

The last pony also brought surprise to the ponies of Canterlot and Ponyville, for he looked just like Flash Sentry, only that his coat and mane are the same colors as Shining Armor while his armor and shoes were purple with a magenta star on the chest. As for his cutie mark, it's of a two-tone purple shield behind a pink lightning bolt. This pony is known to be Bushwhack Defender, captain of the palace guard in Great Coltain and Crystelle's coltfriend.

"Is it just me or does Crystelle look just like mommy, except if she's a Changeling?" Nyx asked, puzzled. "Not being prejudiced. Just asking."

"If she were a Changeling, she'd have to have holes and bug wings on her like a Changeling, and I don't see either of them on her." Spike commented.

"That's true." Nyx said, seeing the difference now.

"Welcome to Equestria, King Obsidia and Queen Tulip." Celestia said with a friendly smile, "And to Princess Crystelle and Bushwhack Defender."

"Thank you, Princess Celestia." Obsidia said as he bowed to Celestia, "We heard a lot about your student-turned-princess's adventures and decided to meet you all."

"It is a pleasure to meet all of you from Great Coltain." Luna said as she with a smile.

"We are not the only ones you will be meeting and getting to know, Princess Luna." Tulip said with her warm, graceful smile, "We hereby introduce to you a bunch of dear friends that all of you ponies of Ponyville and Canterlot will get to know these friends and love them as trusting friends." She then looked towards Twilight as she finished with a wink, "Especially you and your friends, Princess Twilight."

"Me and my friends? What do you mean?" Twilight asked in confusion. What does the Flutterpony Queen mean by her and her friends getting to know these strangers and loving them as trusting friends?

"You will find out soon enough." Tulip replied with a smile.

Then, the fanfare plays again while Twilight signaled her friends, Ben Mare, Spike, Phobos and the CMC to approach, and they did so as they got up to Twilight.

"Mommy?" Nyx asked in confusion, wanting to know what's going on.

"Shh." Twilight shushed her daughter, telling her to be quiet as she said softly, "Let's just watch."

"Ooh! This entrance music sounds like when the Three Good Fairies made their debut in Disney's Sleeping Beauty!" Pinkie exclaimed happily.

"Pinkie, you are so random." Rainbow remarked.

As it happened, six mares and a colt walked past a parting portion of the Great Coltain crowd as the barker pony announced, "Their most honored and exalted Excellencies, the Splendorous Seven."

The first mare was a bright green unicorn with bright gold eyes and a long green mane with slightly bright green stripes and a matching tail. She wore a golden heart necklace and a chartreuse hairbow. Her cutie mark consisted of a green emerald.

The second mare was a bright cream-colored unicorn with an orange mane and tail and magenta eyes. She wore a yellow hairbow, a red collar and golden bracelets with pink jewels on them. The cutie mark on her flank was a ball of light.

The third mare was a golden earth pony with green eyes and a dirty brown hair color made in a braided ponytail and a matching tail. The only thing she wore was a golden brown cowboy hat. She had the cutie mark of a jar of sand.

The second earth pony in the group was a blue one with a light blue mane and tail, green eyes, a cutie mark of a hummingbird, and she wore a purple flower in her hair.

The fifth mare was an aquamarine-colored flutterpony with a periwinkle-and-light-periwinkle mane and tail with bright blue eyes. She had the cutie mark of a sugarplum fairy.

The last mare in the Splendorous Seven was a pink flutterpony with magenta hair, a matching tail, blue eyes and a cutie mark of a ballet slipper in a heart.

The colt that walked with the six mares was a forest green pegasus with brown eyes, reddish brown hair and tail, brown hooves and a cutie mark that shows two yellow shimmering stars. The only thing he wore was a green cap with a red feather on it.

One by one, the ponies stopped in front of the Great Coltain crowd as the barker pony stated their names aloud in order, "Jadeite Emerald, Aura Gleam, Sandy Saddles, Spring Nectar, Sky Sugar, Heart Ballet, and Pete Pan."

"Oh my gosh! Pete Pan!" Rainbow exclaimed excitedly as she recognized the green pegasus colt.

"You know him, Rainbow Dash?" Twilight asked the rainbow pegasus.

"Know him?!" Rainbow asked in a tone as if Twilight asked her a stupid question, "He's my brother!"

"Your brother?!" The rest of the Mane 6, Spike, Phobos and the CMC asked in shock. Pete Pan is Rainbow's brother?! No way!

"Yeah!" Rainbow replied, "He's a pegasus that's as fast as I am, and he gets ponies to have a lot of fun!"

"Ooh! Just like me!" Pinkie exclaimed in delight. She never thought she could meet another pony who could have fun like she can.

"Queen Tulip is right." Fluttershy said with a smile, "Maybe we can like these new ponies."

King Obsidia and Queen Tulip overheard those comments as they smiled proudly. They knew Twilight and her friends will like the new ponies. Then, the queen glanced towards the crowd and beckoned whoever else was in the crowd to join the Splendorous Seven.

As if on cue, six colorful flutterpony foals- each in a different color; sea green, red, blue, pink, golden yellow and orange- headed up to the Splendorous Seven as the barker unicorn called out, "Accompanying the Splendorous Seven are these six lovable, adventurous foals, the Flutter Buds." They all got next to them as their names are called out in order, "Mint Cupcake, Rosebud, Ocean Spray, Magenta Symphony, Mango Morning and Sun Velvet."

"Aww, they look so cute!" Rarity exclaimed happily, "Just like Sweetie Belle and the other Cutie Mark Crusaders." Sweetie giggled from her sister's compliment.

With the introductions finished, the Splendorous Seven and the Flutter Buds all headed to the Mane 6, Ben Mare, the CMC, Spike, Phobos and the two princess ponies. Once they all got close, they stood before them with friendly smiles. Pete Pan glanced at Rainbow Dash as he said with a smile, "Hey, Dashie. Long time no see."

"Hiya, Petey!" Rainbow said to her brother happily, "Have I got stuff to tell ya when this is over!"

"I'm looking forward to it." Pete said with a wink. The Flutter Buds looked at the CMC as they all waved 'hello' to them happily. Seeing this got the CMC waving back at them with friendly smiles on their faces.

Then, the Splendorous Seven and the Flutter Buds looked towards Twilight, Celestia and Luna as they bowed to them while saying in unison, "Your Majesties…"

Jadeite then spoke on behalf of her group as she said, "Each of us come bearing gifts to Princess Twilight and her friends, and we all will give one to each pony, no more, no less."

"Proceed, my little ponies." Celestia said with a smile as she nodded, giving Jadeite and her friends her royal permission to give the Mane 6 the gifts.

Jadeite walked up to Twilight as she said to her, "Princess Twilight Sparkle, my gift to you is this book of spells that I used." Then, using her magic, she levitated a book out of her saddlebags and towards Twilight.

"The Spellbook of Wisdom!" Twilight exclaimed in surprise and delight. She took the spellbook as she said to Jadeite, "Oh, thank you so much, Jadeite!"

"You're welcome, Princess Twilight." Jadeite said with a smile, "I figured that since you're a princess now, you could learn some new spells."

"I certainly could!" Twilight giggled. Then she realized something as she said to Jadeite, "Oh, by the way, my friends call me just Twilight."

"Then so shall me and my friends." Jadeite said with a smile, happy to call their new friend Twilight.

Sky Sugar stepped up to Fluttershy as she said, "Fluttershy, my gift to you is a book that I bet you'll like." She used her wing to open up one of her saddlebags, and with the help of Jadeite's levitation magic, a book came out of the bag and floated towards Fluttershy.

"Oh, um... what kind of book is it?" Fluttershy asked meekly.

"It's a book on how to take care of the rarest animals in Equestria." Sky replied.

This lifted Fluttershy's spirits as she exclaimed, "Oh, wow! I could use something like this. Thank you, Sky Sugar."

Spring Nectar walked up to Pinkie as she said to her, "Pinkie Pie, my gift for you is a special something to remind you of my kind." Then she got into her saddlebag and pulled out a Flutterpony doll.

"Ooh! A Flutterpony doll!" Pinkie exclaimed in delight as she was given the doll, "Thanks a lot, Spring! I like you guys already!"

"We were hoping you would!" Spring giggled happily.

Heart Ballet and Pete Pan walked up to Rainbow as the former said, "Rainbow Dash, Pete's told us so much about you and how much you love the Wonderbolts."

"Darn right! They're awesome!" Rainbow exclaimed with a grin.

"And that is why I am giving you this gift." Heart said as Pete opened her saddlebag and pulled out something that they both knew Rainbow would really love.

"Surprise!" Pete shouted as he held up an outfit of some kind with a grin. But it wasn't just any outfit.

"A Wonderbolt outfit?!" Rainbow yelled excitedly, "OMIGOSHOMIGOSHOMIGOSHOMIGOSHOMIGOSH!"

"Yep! We figured you could use one of these when you become a Wonderbolt one day." Heart said with a smile.

"And that's not all, sis." Pete Pan said with a smirk, "Their royal majesties and my friends agreed on this other surprise: I'm gonna move in with you so we could spend quality time and join the Wonderbolts together."

"That… is… AWESOME!" Rainbow exclaimed with a big grin. Her favorite brother, living in Cloudsdale with her and joining her in aiming to be a Wonderbolt? How exciting!

Just then, the green pegasus pony noticed Scootaloo looking up at him admirable as he said, "And you must be Rainbow Dash's number #1 fan, Scootaloo."

Feeling slightly surprised that Pete was talking to him, Scootaloo said a bit awkwardly, "Oh! Um, yeah, that's me."

"She's really lucky to have somepony like you under her wing." Pete said with a smile, "In fact, if she sees you like a little sister to her, then so will I."

This got Scootaloo really excited as she said, "Wow, that's great!" Then she hugged Pete and nuzzled him as Pete hugged back with his wing.

"Awww!" The two crowds of ponies said along with the Mane 6, Ben Mare, Spike, Nyx, Phobos, the other CMC, the rest of the Splendorous Seven and the Flutter Buds as they all watched this. What a beautiful moment.

With that done, Sandy Saddles walked up to Applejack as she said to her in a Southern accent, "Applejack, mah gift 'ta yew shall be 'dis rope." Then she pulled out a rope as she gave it to Applejack.

"Hoo-wee!" Applejack exclaimed as she took the rope while fidgeting with it a bit, "'Dis sure is a mighty fine rope! Pretty strong, too. Thanks, Sandy!"

"Anytime, Sugarcube!" Sandy said with a smile.

Finally, Aura Gleam walked up to Rarity as she said to her, "Rarity, we heard a lot about your very fancy fashion designs."

"Oh, yes, my designs are absolutely fabulous." Rarity said proudly.

"Well, we were thinking of having your designs be even more fabulous with this gift I give you." Aura said with a wink, and then, using her magic, she brought out a bunch of gems from her saddlebags.

Rarity gasped in sheer delight as she asked excitedly with stars in her eyes, "Gems from Great Coltain?!"

"That's right!" Aura replied with a smirk, "Great Coltain has a lot of good dresses with these gems as part of them, so I thought you could use them for your dresses."

"That's absolutely perfect!" Rarity exclaimed with a grin as she took the gems from Aura, "These will make the Carousel Boutique even more popular than ever! Thank you so very much, darling!"

"You're most certainly welcome, Rarity." Aura said happily, "I'll be looking forward to seeing your designs."

"On behalf of Twilight and her friends, we thank you so much for your wonderful gifts, ponies from Great Coltain." Luna said with a smile.

"And we gratefully accept your thanks, princess of the sun." Obsidia said with a smile.

Celestia then turned to the ponies in the audience, all from Ponyville, Canterlot and Great Coltain as she said, "And now, without further ado, the Summer Sun Celebration will now begi--"

Suddenly, there was a blast of wind, startling all the ponies, Spike and Phobos as some large roots came out of the ground.

"What in the name of Celestia?!" Ben Mare yelled in shock.

"I thought we stopped those things for good!" Rainbow shouted. More vines and roots attacking Ponyville?! Impossible!

"Wait a minute, Rainbow Dash!" Twilight said as she noticed something about the vines and roots, "The ones we encountered were black. These are dark green."

"Hey, you're right!" Rainbow said as she observed the roots and vines growing. They're definitely different from the plunder plants Discord planted long ago.

After the evil green plants stopped growing, as a scary-looking tree that looked almost like a fist came out. Once the hand-shaped tree opened itself, a bolt of lightning struck the palm, before a purple flame came up and materialized into a shadowy figure.

Once the fire diminished, the figure was revealed to be a dark green alicorn with bright green zebra stripes, purple eyes and fangs. The only things she wore were a purple collar, purple shoes and leg bracelets with purple jewels on them.

"Gah! Dear Celestia, it's Sandra Bullock!" Phobos screams in fear.

"Very funny." The newcomer Alicorn snapped to Phobos, narrowing her eyes in irritation.

"Who's that?" Fluttershy asked in fear.

"It's Fanged Dahlia!" Heart Ballet exclaimed.

"You know her?" Applejack asked the Flutterpony.

"She is our enemy from Great Coltain, and she tried to make the Flutterponies her slaves!" Aura explained.

"And not only that, she's a Vampire Pony." Crystelle added as she and Bushwhack Defender walk up to the group.

"She's a Vampire Pony?!" Fluttershy asked in fright.

"That means she'll eat us!" Pinkie cried.

"Then what does that she-devil want here?!" Rainbow demanded angrily.

"Shhh!" Twilight shushed Rainbow, not wanting her to cause problems right now.

Recovering from her irritation, the evil alicorn, Fanged Dahlia, looked calmly at the royal ponies as she said with a smile, "Well, quite a glittering assemblage, Princess Celestia. Royalty, nobility, the gentry, and..." Looking at Twilight's and Jadeite's friends, the green alicorn chuckled as she said, "How quaint. Even the rabble with the doormat, the bumbling sidekick dragons and the blank flanks."

Nyx was silent for a moment, and then she asked aloud, "What is this? An MLP fanfic or a Sleeping Beauty fanmake?"

Fluttershy hid behind Rainbow with a whimper at being called a doormat while Rainbow flew towards Dahlia as she shouted, "Why, I oughta--!" Of course, Applejack caught the blue pony by the tail before she could advance further.

"I really felt quite distressed of not receiving an invitation for the Summer Sun Celebration." Dahlia confessed.

"You tried to make a Vampire Pony out of Crystelle!" Bushwhack shouted angrily at the Vampire Pony.

"And for attempting to do such a cruel thing like that…" Crystelle started as she glared at Dahlia.

"You weren't wanted!" Aura finished while gritting her teeth.

"Not wa--?" Dahlia looked stunned at hearing this, but from the looks of her, she was pretending to be stunned. She chuckled as she said, "Oh, dear. What an awkward situation. I had hoped it was merely due to some oversight. In that case, I'll best be off."

"So… you're not offended, Your Excellency?" Tulip asked the villainess while Obsidia, Celestia and Luna glared at her.

"Why, no, Your Majesty." Dahlia replied, then she glared evilly at Twilight and her friends as she said, "And to show that I have no bad feelings, I, too, shall bestow a gift on the princess Twilight and her friends." Upon hearing this, Twilight and her friends braced themselves by getting in a fighting stance except Fluttershy, who was cowering behind them along with the CMC. At the same time, Spike got in front of Rarity, as if to protect her from Dahlia, while Ben Mare and Nyx do the same for Twilight.

"Don't you dare, vampire!" Lorcan said quietly while glaring at Dahlia. He knew that she was up to something evil.

"Listen well, all of you!" Dahlia shouted to all the concerned ponies in the area as she spreaded wings. Then she said, "The princess Twilight and all her friends shall indeed live together as they grow with honor and friendship, beloved by all who know them." With worried looks on their faces, the Mane 6 glanced at each other. "But........." Dahlia started as the ponies watch in concern, not liking where she was heading. Then, using the dark magic from her horn, which was recognized to be just like King Sombra's, the villainess conjured up a magic screen as she spoke, "...before the day Twilight and her friends discover the secret of that mysterious box, they shall feel the wrath of twisted versions of them… and DIE!!!"

The screen then showed the most horrifying, graphic, satirical visions anypony ever saw. They first saw what looked like the Mane 6, Spike, the CMC, the Apple family and Cheerilee killing a bunch of innocent ponies. Finally, on 'DIE', the screen showed a very graphic image of blood-covered, stuffed versions of Rainbow Dash, Rarity, Applejack and Fluttershy, a headless body of Twilight lying in a puddle of blood, Pinkie strapped to a table with a severely scared face and her chest fully open and her innards showing, a barbecued Nyx with bloody bite marks all over her, the CMC with wounds, brains exposed and bloody holes on their scar-covered plots, and what looked like Spike grown to the size of Garble, grinning evilly with a blood-soaked claw mark while holding up the head of Twilight.

Everypony and dragon in the area looked really horrified at this while some ponies were disgusted and Phobos looked like he was going to throw up.

"Oh, no!" Crystelle cried in horror as she embraced the traumatized CMC.

"Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!" Dahlia laughed evilly at seeing this.

Golden Heart, however, rolled his eyes as he snapped, "Look, I doubt that would happen. It could take years even longer for that to happen."

"Or probably the season would be over before we even get to that point!" A disguised Pinkamena yells out to the evil Alicorn.

"Don't you dare sa..." Suddenly, Dahlia yelped in disgust as she jumped back. "ARGH! Garlic! Hisssssss!"

"Back! Back away, unholy demon!" Golden Heart snapped while holding the garlic towards Dahlia.

"Back away!" Pinkamena exclaims as she somehow hold a cross, forcing Dahlia back. "Get back to whatever hole you dug yourself out of, fangface!"

"Seize that creature!" Luna shouted angrily in the Royal Canterlot voice as she pointed her hoof towards Dahlia.

"Let's get her, sis!" Pete shouted as he flew towards Dahlia.

"Here we come, you sick monster!" Rainbow yelled as she flew alongside Pete and charged towards Dahlia.

"Err, Luna? Didn't the mayor try this when you show up as Nightmare Moon?" Twilight asked Luna in concern as the Royal Guards prepare to attack Dahlia, who was being held at bay by Golden Heart and the disguised Pinkamena.

"STAND BACK, YOU FOOLS!" Dahlia ordered as a fiery explosion appeared around her, forcing everyone back while a vine sprouted from the ground and whipped Rainbow and Pete, sending them flying. Once everything was clear, the vampire pony was gone from sight as her evil laughter was heard in the background.

"Yep, I called it." Twilight said with a sigh of concern.

Applejack and Rarity were embracing their crying sisters while a recovering Rainbow Dash hugged a scared Scootaloo tightly, comforting her just like from her nightmares.

"That witch!" Jadeite shouted in anger, "This is low, even for her!"

"And I thought King Sombra was bad!" Spike commented, "Who knows what would happen if he and Fanged Dahlia were to meet?"

"Ah don't think we wanna know, Spike." Applejack said in concern.

"Oh, I hope none of us could be a Vampire Pony like her…" Fluttershy whimpered in fear.

"And I thought Chris McLean was evil." Phobos remarked with a shudder.

"FORESHADOWING!" Pinkie booms a bit to the camera.

"Well, I don't think we've seen the last of Fanged Dahlia." Nyx said in concern.

"This may be a bit serious." Celestia said in concern. "Other kingdoms need to be warned. Somepony give me the bird."

"We can't. It's not appropriable to do that in front of foals." Pinkie said, getting the wrong idea.

"Not like that, Pinkie." Luna said to the pink pony, telling her that somepony giving Celestia the bird is not what she thought.

"Do not despair, Princess Twilight; this fearful curse can easily be undone." Obsidia explained to Twilight.

"Really? Tell me how it's possible, King Obsidia!" Twilight said, eager to know how she and her friends could avoid this cruel fate.

"This horrible fate will be permanently averted when you find the keys to that mysterious box, unlock it and discover the contents of it." Obsidia explained.

"But where can we find them? Not even the Mystic Ponies know!" Spike complained in worry.

"Only time will tell, Spike. Only time will tell." Bushwhack said.

"Here's the messenger bird, Princess." A pegasus guard said as he gave Celestia the messenger bird she needed to warn the other kingdoms.

"Excellent." Celestia said as she puts a scroll to the bird's brace with her magic. She then said to the bird, "Take this message to other kingdoms and give them a warning of this new threat." The bird nodded before it flew off with the message.

"What's gonna happen, mommy?" Nyx asked Twilight in concern.

"Nyx, guys, I think we'll be dealing with a very dangerous threat, and it could very well be involved with our nemesis." Twilight said in worry as she looked out to the horizon in concern with her friends, the Splendorous Seven, the CMC, the Flutter Buds, Crystelle, Bushwhack, the Princess Ponies and the King and Queen of Great Coltain. They all agree that it won't be the last time they'll see the evil Fanged Dahlia. There is no telling what she could do if she would return. And worst of all, who knows what would happen if the Apocalypse Ponies recruit her?
