The Equestrian Fairytale: Preface and Act 1

I soon made it to the castle. I ran around, trying to look for Celestia, or Luna, or anypony who'd tell me what is going on. As my searched, I'd soon enter a room. Celestia was here, but...so was another five ponies.

"Celestia!" I exclaimed. I was exhausted, I was in pain. She turned to me and nodded, the look on her face showing me the weight of the situation.

"Twilight," she said, before using her magic to heal my shoulder. "I feel a strong magical presence, corrupting Equestria as we speak." she said, wanting to get to the point.

"What am I going to do about it?" I asked, looking up at her with worry in my eyes.

"You're going to stop it," she said, before her guard bring in a suit of armour known as the Harmonizer. The armour, made up of the parts of the Elements of Harmony and run by crystals, was somewhat mechanical. It conformed to my body when I slip it on, it checks my vitals...it does things you'd see in some science fiction novel.

Anyway, after I slipped it on, she looked to the other five ponies in the room, and beckoned them to step forth.

The first, was an earthpony. His mane and tail were a dark brown, and his coat was a dark grey. He looked young. His eyes...were completely dilated, so I couldn't tell what eye color he had. His clothing consisted of a simple t-shirt with "DJ Pon-3" sprawled on it, a blue jacket with an odd design on it, although if he zipped it up, it might look like some sort of heart. He also had a sort of carrying case on him, with a ton of pencils and a large book inside.

"Hello," he said, giving a nod before trotting over. "My name's Sketchpad."

I nodded and shook his hoof before the next pony came over.

The next pony was a unicorn. Her mane and tail looked oddly similar to Lyra's, but the colors were way off. Whilst Lyra had a minty sort of coloration in the mane, this pony had a bright green and a darker green making up stripes on either side of the mane. Her coat was an off-blue, and her eyes were a bright purple. She seemed to have a pouch on her, with an odd weapon carried inside.

"My name is Stohner," she said. "I worked at the Royal Construction Crew before I was brought here."

That last line threw me off. I was aware of the Construction Crew, as they construct things...mainly in Canterlot. But I don't remember seeing Stohner as one of them.

Before I could ask, the next pony came up. This one was another earthpony. He was a bit gruff, and he had a stern look to him. His eyes were blue, and his mane, tail and coat were different shades of brown. His clothing consisted of a leather jacket with a white t-shirt underneath. Unlike the others, he didn't seem to have anything on him besides a case of cigarettes and a lighter.

"Are you going to introduce yourself?" I asked him.

"I'd rather not, but if I must.." he said, before sighing softly. "The name is Klausen. Joen Klausen."

I nodded to him and the next pony stepped forth. This one was a pegasus. His coat was a lighter grey than Sketchpad's, and his mane and tail were of a black coloration. His eyes were a reddish color, and over his eyes were a pair of glasses. His clothing consisted of a jacket. He carried around a guitar case.

He smiled, looking at me, before chuckling out, "Name's Trigger."

I nodded and the last pony was revealed. I just couldn't believe what I saw.

The pony was an alicorn, and a male at that. His coat consisted of a green hue, and his mane, tail and eyes were blue. His clothing consisted of a red vest. Like Joen, he didn't have much on him. How he introduced himself was even more bizarre...

"You should know me, Twilight! It's me, Lightning Chaser! Luna's husband."

"I call bullshit on that," Stohner suddenly said. The green stallion eyed him and growled.

"I agree with Stohner," I said to him. "I might not remember Stohner being a part of the Royal Construction Crew, but I definately don't remember Luna being married to anypony..."

"I see.." he said, looking over at me before trotting up to the others. Celestia nodded and soon left, leaving us six to get along.
