Twilight landed unceremoniously, face first, into the concrete. ''Buck these legs... I have to get used to them again.. The people walking down the sidewalk gave her strange looks, none of them unbiased. Twilight shakily stood up, adjusting to her newfound limbs. She turned around, and behind the statue, she found not a High School, but a massive metal structure.

She stared in awe at the sight before her. In place of students, there were, what she presumed to be, soldiers. In place of the benches, were cars, and the trees whose shade she enjoyed sitting in, were replace with fencing. She took all this in very briefly though, for she was seized at the arms by two burly men, clad in full body armor. The one to her right demanded, ''And where 'n blazes did you come from?'

'

''Hold off on the questioning, Francesco. Eclipse is going to want answers from her firsthand.'' The one to her left said. The right one, Francesco, his name was revealed to be, grumbled incoherently. ''

Twilight struggled against her captors, but it proved futile. She went slightly limp from the exertion, but demanded, ''Who are you?! Who is Eclipse?!''

''Listen here, little missy, you're in no position ta be askin' questions. So how 'bouts ya jus' be keepin' yer pretty lil' trap shut till we getcha ta Eclipse.'' Not knowing what lie ahead, she let herself get carried away.

After going through a maze of corridors, she arrived in a small room with a desk, and two chairs. She was sat down, and tied onto one of them, and the men left. She waited for what seemed like hours, trying to get her crystal out of her pocket, but she just couldn't reach. Finally, the sound of a door unlocking resounded through the lonely room, A ray of light slowly spread across the room, as a creaking filled Twilight's ears.

''Well, well ,well, who are you?'' A cold, sneering voice spoke. A woman, no older than 25 entered the room. She was beautiful, with jet black hair down to her waist, and rose colored eyes. She was dressed in a white suit, with a flower in her ear. She slowly approached Twilight. ''Well, would you have a look-sy here, we have an Equestrian. Last thing I expected to meet here.''

''Who are you?!'' Twilight shouted, struggling in her bonds.

The woman looked her in the eyes, with an expression of mock shock. ''Why, where are my manners! I, am Eclipse. But you haven't answered MY question yet. No matter. I will send you back to Equestria, under the condition, that you convey my message to your dearest Celestia.'' She sneered. Tell her, that the eclipse, has reached its zenith.

And with that, Twilight faded out.
