As the wonderbolt plummeted to the ground Soarin quickly dove in and rescued his fellow teammate. He then looked around to see what struck his friend. Suddenly another green lightning bolt stuck at Soarin, but he dodged it just barley. He looked up to where the lightning bolt struck and couldn't Believe his eyes.

"No." He mumbled under his breath. "It can't be."

He flew down to the ground with the hit wonderbolt, when he reached the ground he laid down the wonderbolt and inspected the wound. His wing and side were burnt, and he was unconscious. Flash and Lightning ran up to Soarin.

"Was this part of the act?" Asked Lightning.

"No this isn't, we need to warn everypony to get out of here right now." Soarin replied.

"Okay then." Lightning picked up the microphone and screamed through it, "EVERYPONY THAT GUY UP THERE IS NOT PART OF THE SHOW, ANYONE WHO IS NOT A GUARD OR WONDERBOLT RUN AND SCREAM!"

When said the ponies started to leave the stadium in a rush, pushing and shoving each other to get away. Once the stadium was empty all that remained was Flash, Soarin, Lightning, Discord, The main six, the three princesses, captain Shining Armor, the wonderbolts, and some of the crystal Royal guards. Flash looked at Lightning with an annoyed look on his face.

"You know you could have just said, 'please walk in a orderly fashion'." Flash remarked, Lightning just Rolled his eyes.

"Let's face it Flash no matter what I said their reaction was gonna be the same."

"Oh yea also, the guy up there, I think he's a Sentinel." Soarin proclaimed.

Both Flash and Lightning looked at Soarin in surprise.

"Are you sure Soarin?" Lightning asked.

"No, he's clearly a griffon that can somehow control green lightning." Soarin said sarcasticly.

"Hit the dirt!" Flash yelled as another bolt of green lightning hit the ground.

As soon as it hit the ground the figure flew down and landed on the ground. He was hard to identify because he was wearing a mask that covered his entire face. He had two weapons the three didn't believe existed. In his left hand he held a sword that a sword with a green gem in the center of it. On his right arm he had a gauntlet with a green gem in the center of it like the sword he had. He looked at the princesses before him and spoke,

"You three have turned this world into a world of ruin, a world that was once in the golden age and is now in desolation. Allow me to rid you from the destruction you've created." He said pointing the gauntlet at princess Cadence. He then fired another green lightning bolt at her but the impact never came. Everypony watched as their beloved princess Celesta was hit by the bolt and landed with a burn mark on her chest.

"NO!" Everypony screeched. Cadence then looked at the masked griffon that had attacked her beloved aunt.

"You'll pay for that, griffon!" She yelled, levitating a sword from one of the guards and charging at the griffon.

"Flash we got to help her, she can't fight him on her own!" Yelled Lightning.

Flash knew all to well that she was no match for the griffon. But he also knew he couldn't be spotted. So he was put into a tight spot at the moment. But he then snapped when the griffon struck princess Cadence. Everypony watched as the once levitated sword fell to the ground. Everypony witnessed as the griffon drove the blade through her body.

Everypony rushed to the fallen princess, Shining Armor was the first to arrive to her body. Then twilight, then Luna, and so forth.

"Cadence, No! Cadence don't leave me...don't leave me yet...please Cadence don't leave...don't leave yet." He said tears falling from his eyes. He looked to the sword his wife had before she died. And levitated it with his magic.

"Oh no, no Shining Armor please don't fight him, you'll get yourselves killed. Dang it Flash you have to go help them." Lightning cried. "Flash?" He looked around but Flash was nowhere to be found.

"You jerk, she was my wife! Shining Armor screamed, charging at the griffon. But was stopped when another masked pony flew down and halted Shining Armors advance. The difference between this masked pony and the griffon was his armor was gold with clear lens for his eyes and his entire body covered by the armor.

"Easy there Shining Armor, I know you want revenge, you all do. But you can not take this guy on alone. But I can. The masked pony said to them all. With that Shining Armor backed off and let the golden armored pony attack the griffon.

"So you where the disturbance I felt coming here." The griffon said.

"I'm only gonna say this once." Said the masked pony. "Where did you get that sentinel gear. All sentinels know that such weapons are forbidden."

"Forbidden! These weapons are the key to power and victory. I will use them to wipe out you pony scum and reclaim what belongs to us.

"Those weapons are forbidden because they gave all sentinel an unfair advantage. Instead of earning their power they just took it!

"Well then let me use that advantage against you!" The griffon yelled firing a bolt of Green lightning at the masked pony. But the green blot was intercepted by the masked ponies own bolt. He shot a yellow bolt of lightning at the green bolt. She the two collided it created a small blast between them knocking them back a bit.

"Impossible, you don't have a gauntlet!" Exclaimed the griffon.

"Did you really think you needed a gauntlet to control lightning, you are such a fool. Goldwing." The masked pony yelled back.

The sound of his name enraged the griffon to charge at the mask pony. "DON'T YOU DARE CALL ME THAT NAME." He shouted. "GOLD WING IS DEAD. I AM BLOODWING!

"Bloodwing, sounds like you put three seconds into your new name Goldwing." The masked pony remarked holding the griffon back.

Now the griffon was really peeved. So peeved he picked up the masked pony and threw him at the stadium wall, which he broke through, then a couple house, and demolished nearly half of a street. The griffon then flew after the masked pony. When he was gone Lightning and Soarin ran towards princess Cadence.

There they saw princess Twilight trying to revive her Sister-in-law using he magic, but nothing was working.

"Everypony I'm gonna need you to stand back." Lightning yelled. Everypony surprisingly did what he asked. He quickly got to Cadences body and put his two front for-legs over her body. The his two hooves started to glow red. And started getting brighter and brighter.

"Clear!" He yelled slaking his to front hooves on her body. When he did this red electricity started to flow through her entire body. Everypony looked to her wound which was somehow healing. Once the wound was healed, Lightning stopped and lauded down on the grass.

Suddenly, Cadences eyes started to open.

"Huh...where am I?" She asked looking into her husbands eyes. "Is this ponyheaven?"

"No, no your still alive. And your alive with me, and that's all that matters right now." Shining said hugging his wife tightly. Everypony was happy to see that there princess was alright.

"I hate to interrupt such a wonderful moment but I think we should help that masked pony." Said princess Celestia.

"Princess, oh thank goodness your ok." Said twilight.

"As am I, but we must stop that griffon."

"Way ahead of you your Highness." Said Lightning. "Alright the time for reunion is on hold for right now, until we give that party crasher a good tail-kicking." Everypony nodded I agreement. And ran off to help the masked pony.


It wasn't easy getting up, especially when you've got three hundred pounds of rock on you. Flash thought. But was then pulled out of the ground by a claw that grabbed his neck.

"What do you have to say for yourself now, pony." Said the griffon.

"That you really need a breath mint. Bad." He said.

The griffon looked ready to through Flash to the ground and start beating him senseless. But some certain friends helped him get out of that situation.

"Let him go griffon!" Yelled a large booming voice.

The griffon turned around to meet the whole gang that was in the stadium.

"Let him go or get pummeled to a pulp." Soarin said angered.

"The griffon looked at them all and laughed.

"Hahahahahaha, do you really think you can all take me down, your no match for me." He boasted

"Maybe their not a match for you, but trust me we are." Lightning said red lightning coming out of his hooves. Soarin had the same reaction, except his lightning was blue. The griffon looked suprised at what was taking place.

'Huh, I guess their right I am outmatched. I clearly underestimated them, I won't make that mistake twice.' Thought the griffon.

The griffon let go of the masked pony and the dissapered into thin air.

"What just happened?" Asked Shining Armor.

"He used a technic know as 'flash'. It's when you travel somewhere instantly." Lightning explained.

The masked pony who had just fought the griffon came up to the group, as he did his armor started to retract into its normal form.

"Flash Sentry?!" Asked Shining Armor. "Your the masked pony that fought the griffon!?

"Yeah, kinda kept it on the down low, but know I guess my secret is out huh." Flash said rubbing the back of his head.

Shining Armor stared at him with a death stare, " Flash you've got some explaining to do." He said very anger like.

Suddenly a brute flash of white light appeared out of nowhere. When the light faded there stood Discord.

"Hey anybody know where the salsa is were almost out." He said not aware of what happened. Once he looked around and saw the entire are was nearly demolished.

"Why is it that when you guys start having fun I miss it." Discord grumbled.

"And where exactly where you when this happened?" Asked Twilight

"Oh, just taking care of some family business." Discord said with a evil grin


Meanwhile from storytellers point of view.

"SERIOUSLY HOW DO YOU FIT A PIANO IN A TINY BOX?!?!?! Shrieked storyteller as he walked down the hall.

"Well he is the element of chaos and disharmony." A shadowy figure said

"I was joking Shadow."
