In Hindsight...

Next Day, The Royal Daycourt...

"Princess, I propose to add something to the bleak and dreary roads of this prestigious city. If we add little hedges and new roads, our shining city will lo-"

A very loud BOOM resonated throughout the room as a metal thing blasted through one wall, and landed in front of her. As the thing hissed, the glass compartment opened, revealing a smirking creature. As he jumped off of the vehicle, he turned to the pony who made the suggestion of making the streets better and said, "Sorry to burst your bubble, but number one, that money is going to that hole right there." He pointed behind him. "As for two, Celly and I need to have a heart to heart."

As he finished, he heard the sound of Guard closing in on him. Though, he did not react. They encompassed him in a circle, yet he did not move. Then, when they pounced, something happened. A white ball was shot into the air, and the ponies around it gained an uncontrollable urge to dance. As they were dancing, the strange creature from earlier appeared through the crowd.

Now, Celestia was confused. Her Guards had attacked him, and... they danced?

"Tia! How's it going, huh? You see, I'm in a bit of a pickle. My friends were flying my ship while I took a nap, crashing through the first Daycourt. This time, I just wanted to make an entrance. Also, I have a proposition for you. You will have to wait for a time, depending on when I am.

Heh, Azimuth almost blew up the universe with the press of a button. BUT, train of thought back on track, a villain from our world could have very well made it to this one. Now, in our universe, he was content with blowing each and every world to kingdom come, just to kill us. But, we stopped him at every turn. Now, there is a chance he can harness magic, though I am not certain if this is fact. Now, Tia, I give you the proposal to let me protect this world, as well as experiment on all TWELVE Elements. There are secrets even you could not begin to perceive. Now, I must be off. Tah!"

With the strange creature gone, Celestia started to think...
