Thousands of years had passed since the terrible day when the evil spirits waged war against Paradise and got banished. In Hell, Sebastian formed many groups of evil spirits. Each group has different abilities to deceive those who dwell on earth such as the spirits of anger, spirits of hatred, spirits of jealousy and so on. The whole earth became darker and darker and the ponies were easily deceived by the evil spirits. The evil spirits caused the ponies from different tribes to dislike each other, such as the earth ponies, unicorns, and the pegasi. Ezekiel and Manartha were broken hearted about what was happening on earth, because the evil spirits kept throwing hatred into the hearts of ponies and it was causing each tribe to hate one another. Many warriors of Paradise went to earth to protect the ponies, but the ponies from all three tribes had hearts that were so filled with hatred that it made evil spirits stronger and the heavenly spirits weak. But, Ezekiel and Manartha knew what to do to stop all this. In Paradise, Mekeniah came before Ezekiel and Manartha and said to them that the three tribes were taken over by the spirits of hatred and anger and he sensed that there were hardly any goodness in their hearts.

"If these tribes don't turn away from their ways of hatred then Sebastian will use the Windigos to feed off their hatred and they will bring an endless blizzard throughout the land." Ezekiel said.

"How can we stop this from happening?" Mekeniah asked. "Sebastian, Hosea, and the evil spirits are gaining more power over the ponies and they will start taking over the earth."

"Mekeniah," said Ezekiel, "there is a way to stop this and that is friendship! But we must let the windigos bring the blizzard to the ponies, because we had a vision that the blizzard will cause some of the ponies to be able to discover the power of friendship to stop Sebastian's evil plans and to defeat the windigos."

"Please," asked Mekeniah asked, "can you tell me more about your visions and plans."

"That is the only vision we had so far," Ezekiel answered, "but Manartha and I have a special plan. After we defeat the forces of evil through the power of friendship, we will use that power to bring love and peace upon the tribes and we will form these three tribes together to form one nation that we would like to call......Equestria."

"That sounds amazing!" Mekeniah said.

"Mekeniah," Ezekiel said, "I heard that the three tribes are having a Grand Summit right now about how to cope with the blizzard, I will send you alongside side with 18 soldiers to go to the summit and protect them from whatever lies ahead of them. The soldiers are under your command Mekeniah and I will guide you throughout your mission and remember...I will help you use the power of friendship to accomplish this mission. As you do your work, me and Manartha will do ours."

Mekeniah and the spiritual soldiers left Paradise and were heading straight to earth. Meanwhile on earth, the ponies from all three tribes were entering a building for the Grand Summit during the blizzard and also five evil spirits came in with the ponies unseen. Ponies from each different tribe sat separately on the top benches on each side of the building. As the trumpets were sounded in the building, one of the first rulers came in for the Grand Summit, a unicorn leader name Princess Platinum, then was the leader of the pegasi name Commander Hurricane and finally the leader of the earth ponies name Chancellor Puddinghead. As they sat on the table in the center of the building the five evil spirits were surrounding them. As the leaders sat on the table to begin their discussion, the evil spirits threw hatred and anger into their hearts that caused them to argue immediately.

"All I wanna know is why the earth ponies are hogging all the food!" said Commander Hurricane.

"Us?!" Puddinghead said. "We're not hogging all the food, you are! Oh wait, you're right. It's us! Well, it's only 'cause you mean old pegasususususes are making it snow like crazy!"

"For the hundredth time, it's not us! We're not making it snow; it must be the unicorns! They're doing it with their freaky magic!" said Hurricane.

Platinum gasped and said. "How dare you! Unlike you pegasi ruffians, we unicorns never stop to such a thing!"

"Well, if you nonEarths aren't gonna stop using your weirdo powers to freeze us all, then I'm just plum out of ideas!" said Puddinghead as she put her hoof down.

"What a shocker." said Hurricane. "An Earth Pony with no ideas!"

"Commander Hurricane!" shouted Platinum. "Please cease with the insults!"

"You're not the boss of me, your royal snootiness!" shouted Hurricane.

Meanwhile while they were arguing the evil spirits who were around them started to laugh and talk to each other.

"These ponies are such fools!" said an evil spirit while laughing.

"They are so easily deceived!" said an another evil spirit.

"The more we take over their hearts, the more we will be able to bring honor and glory to our King Sebastian!" shouted a third evil spirit.

"I just love hearing the sounds of hatred coming from these pesky mortals." said a fourth evil spirit.

"I am definitely sure that our Prince of Darkness will be pleased." said a fifth evil spirit.

Meanwhile back to the arguments from the leaders of the tribes

"I beg your pardon?! I am a princess! I won't be spoken to that way!" shouted Platinum as she got up and made her way to the door.

"Well, I'm leaving first!" shouted Hurricane as he also made his way to the door.

"No, I'm first!" shouted Puddinghead while she was already at the door.

All three of the leaders were all trying to get out of the building but they were squished together until they all got out. As the three ponies went away separately, the evil spirits who were watching them continued to laugh. While the evil spirits were laughing, Mekeniah and his heavenly soldiers appeared right before them and Mekeniah revealed his brilliant light to the evil spirits and it caused them to shriek and fly away. When Mekeniah realized that the leaders had already left, he split up 18 soldiers into 3 groups to follow each leader. Each group had 6 warriors each, one group followed Commander Hurricane, one group followed Chancellor Puddinghead, and Mekeniah followed Princess Platinum with the rest of the 6 heavenly warriors. Meanwhile, Sebastian commanded the Windigos to follow the leaders as well to feed off hatred from them. In the capital of the pegasi tribe, Commander Hurricane came and called out for Private Pansy(Commander Hurricane's subordinate).

"Ateeennn-tion!" shouted Hurricane as he startled Pansy. "Well? Aren't you curious about how it went?"

"Oh, uh, Commander Hurricane, sir! How did it go, sir?!" asked Pansy.

"Horribly!" said Hurricane. "Those other tribe leaders are so disrespectful! Don't they realize that we are a mighty tribe of warriors and should not be crossed? We have got to break ranks with those weak foals! We must find a new land!"

The 6 heavenly warriors who were surrounding them didn't know what to do to help fix this situation.

"What can we do with these pegasus? They just don't understand the meaning of love and friendship." said one heavenly warrior.

An another looked at him and said, "Just remember that it is our job to watch over them and protect them from the evil spirits, Ezekiel said that he will handle the rest for he has a plan."

As the warriors were talking they heard a demonic voice coming out of nowhere and it said, "You warriors have no power over Sebastian! For the power of darkness and hatred will rule the universe and the power of love and friendship will finally be forgotten."

After the warriors heard this they saw millions of evil spirits flying through sky while having their reddish eyes targeted on Commander Hurricane and Private Pansy. Meanwhile in the capital of the unicorn tribe, Platinum entered the castle while she was shivering from the cold alongside with Mekeniah and the heavenly warriors who were following her.

"Clover the Clever, I need you!" Platinum called.

Clover the Clever(Platinum's adviser and also a student of Starswirl the Bearded) showed up and said, "Yes, your majesty. Did the other pony tribes see reason as I predicted?"

"Those other tribes are impossible!" answered Platinum. "I, for one, can no longer bear to be anywhere near those lowly creatures. The unicorns are noble and majestic. We will no longer consort with the likes of them! We must find a new land!"

While Mekeniah was watching them in the hallway, one of heavenly spirits looked outside of the window and said, "Mekeniah! You have to look through the window!"

Mekeniah quickly ran to the window and saw millions of evil spirits surrounding the castle as they wait for Princess Platinum and Clover the Clever to come out to look for new land just to attack them.

"Warriors," Mekeniah shouted, "prepare your swords to fight! Don't let any impure spirit lay their fingers on them!"

"For Ezekiel!" They all shouted as they were about to prepare for a huge battle.

At the Town Hall of the Earth Pony capital, Chancellor Puddinghead came down from the chimney just to get inside.

Smart Cookie(Puddinghead's adviser) went up to Puddinghead and asked, "Wouldn't it have been easier to use the door, Chancellor?"

Puddinghead answered, "Maybe for you, Smart Cookie, but I am a chancellor. I was elected because I know how to think outside the box. Which means I can also think inside the chimney. Can you think inside the chimney?"

"Ah-" said Cookie while confused.

"I don't think so." said Puddinghead as she walked pass Cookie.

Cookie groaned.

"Oh my gosh..." said Puddinghead excitedly, "Hold on to your hooves! I am just about to be brilliant!"

"Wryly: That be a first." said Cookie to herself quietly.

"I have decided that the Earth Ponies are gonna do it alone!" said Puddinghead.

"Aw! So you mean the other tribes didn't come around? Shoot. I really thought we could get through to them if we-" said Cookie.

"Don't worry about them." Puddinghead interrupted. "We're the ones with all the food, right?"

"Actually, we're all out." answered Cookie.

"Fine." said Puddinghead. "Then we'll have to go somewhere new where we can grow some new food. And with me as our fearless leader, what could wrong?"

Puddinghead opened the door and she ended up getting covered in snow.

"Where should I start?" asked Cookie.

"The point is....we must find a new land!" Puddinghead answered.

Meanwhile around the Town Hall, the heavenly warriors were guarding the building while there were hundreds of evil spirits surrounding the building. The heavenly warriors sliced many evil spirits with their flaming swords from one evil spirit to another. When the warriors saw Chancellor Puddinghead opening the door they began to surround her to protect her and her adviser, Cookie.

"Comrades!" shouted one of the warriors, "Whatever you do.....never leave these ponies out of your sight. We must follow them where ever they go to make sure they won't get attacked!"
