Crusaders and Cavaliers

Prologue

"Are you sure about this, Skaterloo?" a lavender and pink maned colt asked an orange colt tentatively. "I've never heard of a pony zip lining before."

Me neither, Silver Bell, but Barbara told me it was awesome!" Skaterloo responded. "Ready, Apple Sprout?"

"I'm not so sure either." the light yellow colt with the red mane and magenta baseball cap said worriedly.

"Here we go!" Skaterloo yelled as he jumped off of the ledge, dragging Silver Bell and Apple Sprout with him.

The three colts zoomed down the zip line as the rope got hotter and hotter, and the rope started to snap. And then it did.

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!" the Cutie Mark Cavaliers screamed as they fell to the ground. Unfortunately, they were falling through lots of pine trees.

The three Cavaliers groaned as they got up from the fall.Their crusader scarves were messy and Silver dusted his off.

"See anything, guys?" Silver asked.

"Tree sap and pine needles, but no cutie mark." Skaterloo replied sadly.

"What do we do now, y'all?" Apple Sprout asked as he washed his hooves in a nearby stream.

"Let's ask somepony in Ponyville for advice!" Silver Belle suggested.

"Cutie Mark Cavaliers Advice Getters!" the three colts smiled as they brohooved.

Apple and Silver got in a wagon that was tied to the back of Skaterloo's skateboard, and Skater flapped his tiny wings to get it going.

They sped down the streets of Ponyville, searching for Skaterloo's idol, Rainbow Blitz.

"Oof!" they heard somepony say as they slammed into him. Dusk Shine flew back as his spell, which he had used to teleport, unfortunately, in front of the Cavaliers, to go nuts.

A colorful portal appeared in front of the Cavalier and sucked them in, but not Dusk.

Little did the Cavaliers know exactly who was on the other side of the portal.
