"Twilight!" Twilight heard a faint voice call out from the white. "Twilight! Wake up!"

"RAINBOW!" Twilight yelled jolting awake. She looked around frantically. "Where am I?" Twilight looked to her left and saw Cadence.

"The Crystal Empire." Cadence answered. Twilight looked around again. She was in the throne room. Twilight looked at Cadence again. Both of them were being suspended in mid-air. Twilight tired to move, but she couldn't. She tried to use her magic, but nothing seemed to be working.

"We already tired that. You'll just wear yourself out." This time some other pony spoke up. Twilight looked to her left to see  Celestia and Luna being suspended in mid-air on the other side of the throne. Just then the doors to the throne room opened.

"Ah. You're awake! Good, that means we can get started." A dragon entered the room. Its voice sounded female. The dragon's head just barely grazed the top of the door frame. The dragon was a silvery color. It had two pairs of wings on either side. The two bottom wings resembled bird wings. They were an emerald green with blue tips. The top two wings matched the rest of the body with its sleek, silvery  design. A green stripe ran along the edge of the wing and branched off to raiser like, silvery feathers that also had blue tips. Three long and menacing claws grew out of either wings. The bottom wings each had two hawk-like claws growing out in the opposite direction. There were long and black claws growing out of the ends of all four wings. The dragons head was symmetrical and had horns growing out the back. Its eyes were big fiery, swirling, oval shaped lights. Its bottom jaw split in half down the middle. A green strip ran down the back and down the front of her stomach. Her hind legs had five, long, metallic claws that resembled the the three on the top wings. Her tale sawed side-to-side as she walked. The tip the of the tale had a claw growing out.

"Release us! Now!" Celestia yelled at the the dragon.

"Release you?! Why just be patient!" The dragon looked at Twilight. "Well now that you are awake I believe I may begin." The dragon said calmly.

"Who are you!? What do want from us?!" Twilight shouted.

"Oh! Where are my manners?" The dragon took a bow. "My name is Kira." Kira went back to her menacing stature. "No need for introductions on your part, I know who you all are. You.." Kira pointed to Twilight. "Are Princess Twilight Sparkle of Friendship." Kira said disgustedly "And you.." Kira pointed to Cadence. "Are Princess Mi Amore Cadenza of the Crystal Empire. And You are the infamous, kind, ever-glorious Princess Celestia. And you.." Kira said in an intriguing voice. "Are the Famous Princess Luna of the night."

"Enough of this talking!" Celestia yelled aggressively. "What do want with us?!"

"Well I-hold on..." Kira paused looking back and forth between Twilight and Cadence. "I'm missing something." Kira held up her top right wing and flicked her claws. With a slight whooshing sound a black, 2-dimensional oval appeared. Kira reached her claw in and pulled out a curled up, shaking Spike. "Twilight." Kira tossed Spike next to Twilight. Spike came to sudden stop in mid-air and looked like he was being bound by invisible ropes.

"Spike?!" Twilight looked at Spike.

"He'll be conscious in a moment." Kira reached her claw back in and pulled out Shinning Armor. The second Shinning Armor was all the way out of the portal he immediately flailed. Kira dropped him. Shinning Armor landed on his hooves and started shooting all kinds of spells at Kira. The spells did nothing to Kira. They merely just stopped inches in front of her and then disappeared into thin air. Kira swiftly grabbed Shinning Armor by the horn and lifted him off the ground. All five of her claws were rapped around his horn and emanating a black glow. Shinning Armors eyes started to fade and so did his cutie mark. Kira had taken all of his magic and then threw him next to cadence. Just as with Spike, Shinning Armor looked as though he was bound by invisible ropes. "Hmm.." Kira looked at the six of them thinking. "There is another, but he'll come when the time calls."

"What are you talking about?" Twilight said.

"Yes, what am I-Luuna!" Luna's pupils dilated as she met the gaze of Kira's fiery eyes. "Yes, we have much to talk about! That is if everything goes according." Luna dropped to the floor. She got up to try and defend herself, but before Luna could illuminate her horn, Kira grabbed Luna by the neck and lifted her off the ground.

"Don't touch my sister!" Celestia yelled. Kira's claws illuminated with a black glow. Luna clenched up in pain as the black glow encompassed her. "What are doing to my sister?!" There was smile on Kira's face that soon faded as nothing appeared to be happening. Kira growled and drained Luna of all her magic. When Luna's cutie mark had faded completely Kira threw Luna to floor with some force. "Luna!"

"Well.." Kira huffed. "I have bad news and I have bad news.. Which would you prefer to here first?" Luna got up on her front hooves slowly and then answered.

"B-bad." Luna said softly.

"Bad news it is! Well it appears hat you cannot be turned to Nightmare Moon. You are too... overcome to be turned back." Luna gave a faint smile. Kira snarled. "Now, the bad news is that considering you cannot be turned. I cannot enjoy conversations of similar interests. Considering this, you are entirely and utterly useless to me." Kira brought her tale around and jabbed Luna in the chest pinning her against the wall.

"LUNA!!" Celestia shrieked. Blood was trickling down Kira's tale as Luna coughed up blood. Kira leaned her head close and lifted Luna's chin.

"Such a waist." Kira said disappointingly. Kira let Luna's chin drop down. Blood trickled down Luna's chin as she turned her head to get one last glimpse of her sister, Celestia. Luna's body went limp. Kira pulled her tale out of Luna's chest letting her body fall to the ground like a rag-doll. Celestia dropped as well, but didn't get up. Celestia was too shocked at what had just happened to her only sister. Kira tapped Celestia's horn with a glowing claw. Kira turned around and walked over to Twilight. Kira tapped Cadence's horn and Twilight's.

"What did you just do to my horn?" Twilight looked at horn to see if anything was wrong with it.

"You can still use your magic, but you cannot teleport." Kira waved her claw and Twilight and Spike fell to the floor.

"WHAT?!" Spike shouted as his head hit the floor. "TWILIGHT! LOOK OU-" Twilight hugged Spike.

"You're OK." Twilight said.

"Ahem!" Kira got their attention. "Twilight. Walk with me." Kira turned around and proceeded to walk to the entrance. Kira took two steps before turning her head to look at Twilight. "Walk with me Twilight!" Twilight didn't see any other option so she stood up and hesitantly followed Kira. Spike walked right next to Twilight holding on to her leg. Twilight levitated Spike onto her back. Kira, Twilight and Spike proceeded to walk down the halls of the Crystal Castle. Kira's metal feathers clinked and clanked as she walked. The three stepped outside of the castle. Twilight looked to her left and saw the Crystal Heart slowly rotating. It was a sunny day with not a single cloud in the sky.

A rainbow blur flew out from behind some buildings and flew high in the sky.

"It appears we need to pay your friends a visit." Kira said as she headed to where Rainbow Dash just flew away from.
