I barely remember anything, all I remember is: being drowned...and I....Died? That can't be right. "You did die." What? Who's there? "Ha ha ha ha..." S-show yourself! I'm not afraid of you! "I think you will be." A Pony with Shadow dark skin walks in, He had menacing Red Eyes with a green glow; He wore Armor and a Crown, and his horn was in the shape of a Dragon's Tooth. N-no...No...Your--You’re not me! "Hmm...Heheheheh." W-who are you? "Heheheh…, someone from the dark." The dark, what? The Pony gives a menacing laugh. A laugh that would haunt someone forever, he then starts walking away. No wait...where are you going? Come back! He then disappears into darkness "I...am...back, Your King: has Returned and I have brought some friends with me..." The Pony gives another menacing laugh. LatePonyville, Equestria - 2 Day before Attack "Twilight, Twilight! Wake up!" "Huh?" Twilight woke up in one of the Throne seats. She lifted her head to see Spike looking at her. From his Point of View, She was in a sluggish mood. "Twilight, you fell asleep in the seats again." Said Spike "I know Spike..." Twilight said, with a sigh. She got up, got out of the seat, and walked around the throne to wake herself up "Twilight, why were you up all night again?" Asked Spike "Every Time I sleep, I get the same dream over and over again. I can't tell if it's a Nightmare or some weird dream, but it bothers me, and I can't get it out of my head. It's haunting me." Twilight said. The sound of knocks were then heard from the throne door, Twilight turned her head at the doors "Come in." Said Twilight The doors opened, Pinkie Pie and Fluttershy walked in. "Hey Twilight." Said Pinkie "Afternoon, Twilight." Said Fluttershy Twilight smiled, but had a downed expression as she said, "Hi." Pinkie dashed over and stared right in Twilight's face, "Is there something wrong, Princess Twilight?" She asked Twilight nodded and said, "Just woke up...that's it." "You were up all night again?" Asked Fluttershy. "I don't want to talk it about it." Said Twilight "Are you sure?" Asked Fluttershy Twilight's smile disappeared, then put her head down, and nodded. "Yes." She said quietly "Why not, we're your friends! We're here to help and support you every step, right Fluttershy?" Said Pinkie "Oh yes, Pinkie Pie. We want to help you Twilight; you can tell us...if you want." Said Fluttershy "Okay well...wait...Fluttershy, Did you say Afternoon?!" Asked Twilight, with a nervous expression "Yes...it's afternoon." Said Fluttershy Twilight then dashed around the castle. Cleaning up anything dusty or dirty; Straightening and organizing anything that’s out-of-place. "Twilight, Why are you in such a hurry?" Asked Pinkie "Celestia is visiting in an hour; so I have little time left! I'll have to tell you what's wrong later." Twilight says with a rushing expression. She then turned to Spike. "Spike, make sure the other rooms are clean and good. Got it?" She said Spike salutes and walks out. "Pinkie, Fluttershy, can you help me out and check for books on the floor and anything dirty? I'll clean it." Twilight said "Okay." Said Fluttershy "Absolutely!" Pinkie said The four were running around all through the castle to make sure everything looks good. "Bookshelves, Check. Tables, Check.--" "Princesses, Check." Twilight was interrupted by a voice The voice came from the throne doors; they opened, revealing to be Princess Celestia and Luna "Princess Celestia! Princess Luna!" Said Twilight Twilight ran up to them, and hugged both of them. "You didn't need to make the place tidy just because I'm coming." Said Celestia "Well, Princess you know me. I'm an Organized Pony." Twilight said as she chuckles. Celestia and Luna chuckled too. "C'mon girls, let's have lunch." Twilight says. "Alright Twilight, we also need to discuss some things." Said Celestia "Not a problem Princess." Said Twilight, with a smile "Can we join?" Asked Pinkie, Fluttershy and Spike were next to her "Sure." Twilight said. The Six walked to the dining room for Lunch, and some discussions. "I do actually have something to tell you." Said Twilight Planning A War2 Hours after Discussions Rarity’s Boutique Workshop Rarity was doing her usual Dress making and sorting, while humming, but then the doorbell rang. Rarity turned to see Twilight enter, “Oh Twilight! Do come in, I’ve got something I want to show you.” said Rarity “Oh come on Rarity, you know I’m not good with Dress Opinions.” Said Twilight. “Not a dress, my friend!” Rarity said. “Oh…what is it then?” Twilight asked. Rarity swiped out a Jewel. It looked like the Crystal Heart but small, “Someone mailed me this last night and the note on it said ‘You’re a Special Pony.’ isn’t that sweet?” She said. “Oh Spike.” Twilight whispered under her breath. “What was that sweetie?” Rarity asked. “Oh, I said it’s beautiful! It looks like the Crystal Heart.” Twilight said. “That’s what I thought too! It’s another reason why I love It.” Rarity said. “Anyway, I came here to say you have a job for the next Summer Sun Celebration. You’re making the dresses for all the Princesses!” said Twilight. Rarity’s jaw dropped, “I’m what?! Oh my goodness! This is incredible news! I shall start right away!” Rarity said. Twilight chuckled, “Okay! See you later Rarity!” Twilight said as she left the shop. =============================================== Sugarcube Corner “Where’s Pinkie? Here I am!” Pinkie Pie says, she was playing with the Cake twins. The two twins laugh and Pinkie jumping up and down. The Doorbell rang and Twilight entered, “Hey Pinkie Pie, what’s up?” Twilight asked. “Hey Twilight, Oh I’m just playing with the Twins. What’s up with you?” Pinkie said. “I’m here because I have a job for you.” Twilight said. Pinkie dashed right in Twilight’s face, “A Job?! Hooray! A Job!” “Yep, you need to make some sweets and plan the party for the Summer Sun Celebration.” Twilight said. “Sweet, I’ll get right on it!” Pinkie said as she rushed to the Kitchen. “Alright then, that’s settled. See you later Pinkie.” Twilight said. =============================================== Sweet Apple Acres “Apples to the Core, yeah yeah…” Applejack was singing to herself while doing her usual Tree bucking. “Hey Applejack!” Twilight says waving. “Well Howdy Twilight! What brings you here?” Applejack asks “I have a job for you.” Twilight says. “Alright, shoot.” Applejack says. “You’re gonna be making the food along with Pinkie, the Apple Pie, Cider, all that for the Summer Sun Celebration.” Twilight says “I’ll get right on it!” Applejack says. “Thanks, bye Applejack!” Twilight says. Message (Prologue 2) "My name is Twilight Sparkle, and this message is to the entire Planet Equis." Crystal Empire, Equestria - Day 8 Twilight Sparkle was heavily breathing. She was slowly walking as her horn was glowing; she was sending a message to all the creatures and ponies of The Planet Equis, using her magic "An evil spirit...named: Sombra, has taken over Equestria...and, he plans to take all of Planet Equis...our army is deeply crippled...and he will kill anyone who stands against him...please, I advise you to, find...somewhere...........safe." Twilight's horn stopped glowing and she collapsed to the ground. Blood was dripping from her mouth; she had bandages all over her; as some blood was dripping from the bandages. There were bandages around her forearms, her legs, back and barrel. One of her wings was broken, and she was badly hurt and Sombra knew, but it wasn't enough to kill her. She's an Alicorn and they have lots of strength. But now, she's on the ground. "Applejack, Dashie, Fluttershy, Rarity, Pinkie, Spike, Shining, Cadence, Celestia, Luna; Are.....you.....okay?" Twilight said slowly, as she started crying. Are...you...okay? "Huh?" Twilight slowly stood up and started seeing a dim light. Are you okay, Twilight? "Who are you?" ... (No answer) "Who are you?" ...My name....is...Sombra. "...Sombra?" DiscussionsPrincess Twilight, Celestia, Luna, Pinkie, Fluttershy, & Spike all sat down in the kitchen of the Castle. The Six chatted and ate some Pancakes with some coffee. Celestia then brought up the Dream that Twilight has been talking about. "Okay...let me explain." Twilight says as she closes her eyes and remembers. "I...I was carrying a sword...some crystal covered sword and I had blood wounds all over me....and I was...crying...I don't know why. Then a voice asks me if I am okay. Then that's where it ends." Twilight then opens her eyes to see some worried looks from her friends. "This is probably not a dream. It's a possibility that it's a vision of the future." Luna says to Twilight, who then walks up to her and places her hoof on her back. Twilight smiles from the support. "I can agree with you on that Luna but...for some reason I feel it's just a dream...but...who was the voice though? That's my question." said a concerned Twilight, who then takes another bite out of her pancake. "Maybe it's some voice from the Great Beyooooond!" Pinkie Pie says with her usual smile. "I actually agree with Pinkie...Twilight...is someone trying to contact you through dreams?" Fluttershy says. "I--well....actually....you're maybe right!" Twilight Says. "I need to figure more of this out." "But first...We need to get Equestria ready for the Next Summer Sun Celebraton!" said Celestia. "Summer...Oh Gosh! I totally forgot about that! We need to prepare for the event! Thanks for reminding me Celestia!" Twilight says as she gets out of her chair and heads to her bedroom.
