"Ugh" Ykerem awoke with a groan and turned to look outside and saw that it was still dark out. He then got out of the bed he was sleeping in while the FT gang was here in Equestria, he then put his cloths on and doned his coat and sneakily walked out of his room and was careful not to make any noise while walking down the stairs, he then walked outside.

Meanwhile In a dark and eerie place

"It's time" A shadowy person said, "Skolos. I summon you." The figure called to the darkness.

"Yessss masssster." A voice called out as a figure came out from the darkness. Skolos was a creature that resembled a cross between a cobra and hydra, Skolos had three heads, one had dark green eyes with slitted pupils, another had navy blue eyes also with slitted pupils and the final head, which was the most noticeable, he deed red eyes. Skolos was wearing some kind of chest plate with strange markings on it.

"I want you to bring me the humans so I can have their power for myself. Use the one known as Applebloom to lure them out." The shadow said.

"Finally we get to taste pony flesh." The head with the green eyes said with a high pitched voice.

"No! Do not harm them. I have plans for the ponies and the princesses." The figure said while similing which showed rows of sharp teeth.

"Of course Masssster." The Middle head said while all three heads bowed to the shadow.

"Good then I leave the rest up to you. Do not disappoint me or else." The figure said while the shadow disappeared. After the figure vanished the whole area was illuminated which showed multiple snake like creatures. Skolos turned to face the creatures.

"Go my fallen brethren. Bring me back the pony named Applebloom but do not harm her. We need her alive." A chorus of hisses was heard and then the fallen started to burrow and travel to Ponyville.

Back at Ponyville

At Sweet Apple Acres the youngest of the Apple family was waking up.

"Ugh what time is it." Applebloom groaned while getting out of her bed and walked down stairs. When she reached down stairs she noticed that the door was slightly ajar, she then walked up to it and opened it and when she did she saw a lone figure sitting on one of the apple trees. "Ykerem?" She questioned with a tilted head.

Said person looked over to her and jumped down from the tree.

"Applebloom. What are you doing up so early?" He asked her.

"I was getting a drink." She said, "What re you doing up so early?"

"Thinking." He replied with a shrug of his shoulders.

"About?"

"Stuff."

"What kind of stuff."

"Personal things." He said in a monotone.

"Oh okay." She said, after a brief silence Ykerem looked at her with a smile.

"Hey you wanna watch something with me?" He asked while pointing towards the tree he was sitting on.

"Watch what?" She asked

"You'll see in about ten minuets" he said while walking to the tree with Applebloom close behind him. While they were waiting they were both talking, with Applebloom talking about the CRC and their adventures in getting their cutie marks both unaware of the glowing yellow eyes in the background watching them. "Well looks like its time." He said while pointing to the horizon, Applebloom looked to where he was pointing and her jaw dropped in awe. On the horizon the sky looked like it was set a blaze as the dark of the night was being replaced with colours of orange and red.

"Wow. Its beautiful!" She said while staring at the rising sun.

"I know right. I was the same when I saw my first sunrise." He said with a smile. Suddenly the ground started to shake which made both Ykerem and Applebloom fall out of the tree and crash on the ground. "The hell." Ykerem said while getting into a fighting stance. The ground started to shake but this time cracks started appear on the ground. Suddenly multiple snake like creatures came out of the ground and went into combat stances."So you want to fight huh?" Ykerem said with a smirk, "Okay then come at m-" He was cut off when he heard a scream.

"GET YOUR HANDS OR CLAWS OR WHATEVER OFF ME YOU FILTHY VARMINTS!" Applebloom screamed when she was grabbed by the snake creatures.

"Applebloom!" Ykerem said in shock as he started to run towards her but was blocked by some of the creatures, "Grrrr, I don't have time for this." He said as he pulled back with a clenched fist which suddenly had a golden glow around it,"Mimc Dragon: raging fist!" He shouted out as he punched forward which created a shockwave that blew back some of the snake creatures but more replaced them. As he was dealing with the snakes in front of him Applebloom was knocked out and being dragged underground by one of them, after the snake and Applebloom disappeared the largest snake said something in a strange language that Ykerem couldn't understand.

"Mu lost un krazahd, nu mu lif" The largest one said and jumped down one of the holes and then covered it up with dirt.

"No No No No." Ykerem said in panic as one by one the snakes disappeared down the holes while taking their fallen with them. In about five seconds all of the snakes dissapeared, all except one which Ykerem grabbed by its tail. He swung it by its tail, straight into one of the apple trees. He walked up to it while cracking his knuckles and his face was shadowed which made only his crimson eyes more intense. "Okay buddy your going to tell me where your friends took Applebloom or things are going to get ugly." His comment made the snake gulp.

"Ykerem! I heard screaming and where is Applebloom? She wasn't in her bed and what's that?" He head the worried voice of Applejack.

"AJ I need you to gather everyone at Twilights and have Spike be ready to write a letter to the princesses when I get their. Got it." He said without looking away from the snake.

"But-"

"Please just do it. I will explain everything to everyone." He said to her.

"Okay but you had better tell me everything got it!" She said while getting in his face.

"Got it." He told her. After a couple seconds of staring Applejack lowered her glare and went to collect the others at Twilights, "I'm not finished with you so don't even think about trying to escape because I will hunt you down." He said while turning his head slightly to the fleeing snake which made it stop in it's tracks.

It was a fairly peaceful morning in Ponyville with the residents going about I their daily businesses but that peace was stopped when they heard shouting in the direction of SAA. They saw a person walking along while dragging a snake creature behind him which was speaking in a strange tounge.

"Waan hi dreh ni gaar zey nu hi fen fraan bah do dii in ahrk hi fen groso sul hi thesk voth brah!" The creature said.

"Christ allmighty. I thought I told you to shut UP!" He shouted at it while activating his fire magic to set it the snake a blaze which hissed in pain, "If you shut up when I told you we wouldn't have this problem now would we?" He said ignoring the horrified looks of the pony civilians.

"Nii Ag. Oo Rah Nii Ag!" The snake started to struggle, trying to broke free of the death grip that it was in.

After a few more minuets of walking Ykerem finally reached Golden Oaks Libary aka Twilights home.

inside

"So why did Ykerem ask for use all to meet here?" Twilight asked AJ.

"I don't know. He just said to gather everyone, meet at yours and have Spike be ready to write a letter to the princesses." She replied back to Twilight with worry clear in her voice.

"Don't worry darling I'm sure he has his reasons." Rarity said comforting the orange fured mare.

"Rarity's right. Whenever Ykerem asks to meet at a specific place he always has a very, very good reason for it." Ezra said voicing her own thoughts.

"Sooooo where is he then?" Rainbow asked clearly bored.

At that moment the door to the Libary was kicked open by said person and a flaming snake creature was thrown in and was slammed into a bookshelf which scattered all the books it was holding all over the floor. Everyone was shocked to say the least.

"Are you trying to give me a heart attack Ykerem!" Lucy shouted at him, "And look at Fluttershy you scared her to death." She said pointing to said Pegasus who was being calmed down by Wendy, Rarity and Twilight while she was holding Happy close to her.

"What the hell was all that about huh?" Rainbow questioned in anger. But he completely ignored them both and walked straight past them to where the snake crashed into, "Hey didn't you hear me?" Rainbow said to him but stopped when she saw what he was dragging out from under the pile of fallen books. He threw the snake into the middle of the Libary which caused it to groan and open its eyes only to be might with a sword to the throat.

"Don't.You.Move." He said in a dangerous voice, "Hey Erza watch him for me and Spike a letter." He turned to the shocked purple anthrodragon.

"Uhhhhh right." He said not taking his eyes of the strange creature. When Spike got a quill and parchment Ykerem started to speak.

"Dear Princess Celestia,

I have something of the upmost importance to speak with you and your as a strange group of snake creatures attacked me and Applejackes sister, Applebloom early this morning. Unfortunately I was not able to save Applebloom but I did mange to capture one of them so that we could interrogate it in hopes to find out their motives and where they took Applebloom.
Your Sincerely, Ykerem He finished and gave Spike the go ahead to send the letter to the princesses. He took a deep breath and blew out a green flame that sent it to Princess Celestia. And instantaneously Spike burped up another letter which he opened and read out so that everyone could hear.

"Dear Ykerem,

If what you said is true then Equestria and Applebloom are in danger. Me and my sister will be there very shortly but in the meantime do not let that creature escape.
From Princess Celestia." Spike finished in utter shock and looked at Applejack who was completely devastated.

"My sister. In danger." She said with tears in her eyes. She turned around and stomped over to the snake creature but before she could do anything a hand was placed on her shoulder. She turned around to see who it was and she saw Ykerem giving her a look of sympathy.

"Look I know how you feel but we can't do anything until the princesses get here." He said to her. Tears were threatening to spill out of her eyes and she couldn't hold the tears back anymore as she started to cry in Ykerems shoulder, "I know that it's hard but we need to stay strong." He said while lifting her chain so that she was facing him. "I'm sure we will find her."

Suddenly the door opened which revealed the two princesses and another one of the snake creatures which made Ykerem get in a combat stance and was about to attack but was stopped when Celestia raised her hand.

"Calm down Ykerem this one is on our side." She said while looking at the snake that was tied up.

"This one's name is Variks and he can translate for us." Luna said while also looking at the tied up snake.

Applejack stomped up to Variks and grabbed him by his tunic's collar.

"Ask him where they took my sister. NOW." She said with tears in her eyes.

"Yes yes. That is why I'm here. Is it not." Variks said while calmly taking her hand off his collar and slithering up to the tied up snake and started to speak to it in their native tounge.

"So Princess what are these creatures called and why have I nether heard of them?" Twilight asked her teacher.

"They are called Fallen and a long time ago there was a Great War between Equestria and the Fallen." Celestia grimeced at the thought of the war which made the gang wonder. Just what happened in the Great War?

"We have location of Fallen hideout." Variks said.

"And where is it?" Nasty asked

"In the Everfree forests, Grave Mind." Variks said with gloom.
