Ideas

Right at this moment, Celestia's throne room was filled with many ponies from all around Equestria. They all talked together, confused at why they had been called here today.

Those ponies who had been called were the main 6, Spike, all the mayors of every city or town in Equestria, Shining Armor and of course all the Princess. None of whom, except Luna and Celestia, had any idea why they were here.

This greatly worried Twilight, who at this time was trotting in place, thinking of all the terrible things that could have happened.

She was also worried at why Celestia hadn't informed her about this before the others.

“Calm down sugger cube,” Implied  AppleJack. “I'm sure everything is gonna be alright.”

Twilight stopped and looked at her friends.

They all smiled at her, easing her nerves a little.

“I know I'm probably over reacting girls,” Spike raised an eyebrow, making her smile grow. “And Spike too. But I just don't understand why Celestia did... you know... tell me first about whatsoever is going on. I mean, I'm her student, you know?”

They all nodded in understanding.

Rainbow Dash flew beside Twilight, giving her a pat on the back.

“I feel where your coming from Twilight. But remember, Celestia called everypony here with out an heads up in advance. Even Cadence doesn't know,” She pointed a hoof at said mare. Cadence was talking to the mayor from Buckwheat at that moment. “I'm sure its nothing against you.”

Twilight nodded.

Then the throne room doors opened.

Celestia and Luna trotted in very slowly, there heads downcast. Their usual royal, public expressions not present. The room hushed itself as a dark, depressing feeling fell over everyone in it.

Twilight rushed to the Princess, pushing ponies out of her way.

The others followed after her.

“Princess, whats wrong? What happened?” Asked Twilight.

Celestia and Luna looked at one another, as if praying for the other to say the news.

Celestia sighed and hugged Twilight.

Twilight was taken off guard, but returned the hug. Everypony else in the room was also surprised, not used to seeing their Princess act so emotional.

Tears began to fall from Celestias eyes and she began to weep loudly. Twilight felt so scarred and concerned.

Very few things in this world could make Celestia cry.

Especially in public.

Tears began to feel Twilight's eyes also. She then pulled away.

“C-Celestia.... w-whats going on?”

Celestia picked her head up and looked directly at Twilight. The younger mares heart sank, having never seen such sadness before in her life.

“Its over....” Celestia whispered.

Soft mummers began to fill the room.

Cadence, who had been standing quietly, spoke up.

“Whats over?”

Luna slammed her hoof on the ground, tears also falling from her eyes.

“THE WORLD!”

Gasped were let out and yelling began to take over. Ponies demanded to have answers. Some ponies fainted, Rarity including. Lucky Spike was there to catch her in time.

“SLIENCE!” Screamed Celestia, though not taking her eyes off Twilight's.

The room went silent once again.

Twilight's legs began to shake.

“Celestia, w-what do you mean? Are y-you saying-”

“Yes my dear Twilight,” She wiped her eyes and stood up brave for her ponies. “Its the end of the world. In two days time, an ancient comet will it the planet and all life as we know it will be destroyed.”

No one spoke a word/

Twilight's legs gave out and she collapsed to the floor, a blank expression on her face, but tears still falling.

None of her friends helped her up. For they too were shocked to their every souls and could not function.

Spike even dropped Rarity.

“But... It may not truly be 'The End'.” Spoke Luna, her expression strong, but still underneath, afraid.

Everyone came out of there shock and listened carefully.

Twilight lifted her head.

“Yes, we do have a small chance to preserve the pony race,” Celestia helped Twilight up from the ground. “But its a very, very small chance.”

“How?” Whispered Twilight, holding onto this new found hope.

“Me and my sister have, some what, known about this comet for quite some time. We hopefully thought it would only bypass our planet, but three days ago.... we found out that would not be the case.” Spoke Celestia.

“But Luna, I don't understand! Can't you control the space?!” Exclaimed Rainbow Dash.

Luna glared.

“I control the moon and the stars. Not the vast nothingness called space!” She sighed to herself. “Or anything, besides the moon or the starts, that's in it.”

Celestia coughed and continued.

“But lucky, we did prepare. Over the years since we discovered the comet heading our way, thanks to Luna, we have been building vaults under the earth in, or near, every city and town in Equestria. We also warned our allies and told their leaders as well,” She trotted to the window. “Small towns, like Ponyville, can fit all there residence. Cites on the other hoof-”

She stopped, unable to finish.

The mayors looked to one another. Twilight and the gang gasped.

“Celestia... you mean-”

“Yes Twilight,” Tears once again began to escape Celestias eyes. She turned to face the mayors. “That means that in under two days mayors, who run cites, will have to decide who lives and who dies.”

Many mayors fainted. Others threw up from the thought. Mayors who ran small towns, like Mayor Miss Mayor, inwardly smiled.

“I know its hard to do. But its for the good of the pony race. I recommend making your lists full of those who would benefit the reconstruction. Doctors, farmers, builder, for example. Remember my little ponies, you have two days to get into that vault. I will give you all files to where your vault is located and the pass code. I will also contact each vault though a spell once it is safe to come out. I'm not sure how long that will be though,” She looked to Twilight and her friends, but spoke to everyone. “Keep this to yourselves. Don't tell anypony about this....”

She turned back to the window.

Twilight looked to her friends. They looked back. No words were needed as they embraced each other.

Spike hugged too, but after, stayed close to Rarity.

A single tear ran down Celestias cheek as she looked upon her beautiful land.

Holding a hoof to the glass, she whispered.

“And may God help us.”

Two Days Latter....

“Spike, do you have everything?” Asked Twilight, standing at the door to the castle. “I don't think will be coming back anytime soon.”

Twilight sighed.

This would be the second time they would have to start all over.

Spike place a claw on her foreleg, giving her some engorgement.

“Don't worry Twilight. I never even liked this place anyway.”

She smiled and for the first time in two days, laughed.

She leaned down and hugged her little dragon.

“I love you Spike.”

Spike blushed a little, but returned the hug.

“I love you too, Twilight.”

Then they opened the door and found that everyone, who was running late like them, was rushing to the grassland outside of Ponyville, where the vault was located.

Twilight picked Spike up with her magic, including their few things, and placed him on her back. Then she took off into the air.

Moments latter, they landed outside the cave to where the vault was held. Luna oversaw everything that was happening and her night guards keep the order in the lines.

Twilight trotted up to the night Princess, wondering why Celesta was not present with her.

“Princess Luna, wheres Celestia?”

Luna turned with a frown.

“My sister has decided to join the ponies in the Canterlot Vault. I will be in charge of the Ponyville vault in her absence.” Pain was easily seen on her face.

“But-”

“No time for arguing Twilight!” Luna pointed to the sky. “We don't have much time before the comet arrives.”

She was right, Twilight realized. The sky was already turning red and the heat was rising quickly.

“But where are the girls?”

She wasn't going to leave any of her friends behind.

Luna used her magic to help move along Twilight and Spike, just as the last few ponies also entered the cave.

She talked as they moved.

“Their fine. I already saw them enter with their family's.”

Twilight stopped at the entrance. She had to wipe her forehead from the intense heat.

“Are you sure!”

Luna commanded her guards to enter. Once they were inside, she looked into Twilight's eyes and nodded.

“I'm sure. Now let us go!”

Twilight looked to Spike. Spike nodded, trusting Princess Luna. Twilight then ran into the cave.

Luna followed soon after, but first she had placed a protective shield around the cave entrance.

Just for extra measure.

Then she too ran into the cave, where she found Twilight and Spike the only ones who had not entered though the vault door.

“Whats the door made of?” Spike asked.

“Magic and steel, little Spike.” Luna replied.

“Will it hold?” Asked Twilight, full of fear.

Luna trotted inside, then looked back to the mare and dragon.

“Probably not. But its the only chance we have.”

Twilight and Spike exchanged glances and gulped.

Then with that they entered the vault.

Once inside, the doors closed shut with a magical protection spell that only a Princess of Equestria can open at their command.

After the vault door closed, silence consumed the cave.

Nothing happened for a long time.....

Until fire rained from the sky and consumed the world.
