The Temple of Darkness
???am

"Well, well, well. Seems I slept longer than I thought." said a light blue creature, stretching. "At least two thousand. A nice, short, nap. Just what the conquer doctor ordered," she continued. "Alright then, let's see what the plan is. Wake up, go to the temple of Light, punch the guard in the nose, go in the temple, take it, then achieve ultimate power. Easy," she said, walking out of the chamber,then paused."If I can remember where the exit is..."

Fluttershy's cottage
6:10am

Fluttershy woke up with a strange feeling and a massive headache. She didn't understand how either got there in the first place.
The memories of her time in the temple hit her like a train. The ponies whose voices she had heard sounded so desperate. The entire time she had been there she had wanted to help them, but knew she couldn't. She knew they were a test. just like she knew that the voices of her freinds had been a test, to see if she would turn around, leave the path, and be lost.
Where are the others? Probably in ponyville. They must have gone in after me and come here, she thought, wondering what would have been at the center of the temple. Oh, well. Probably nothing important. Otherwise the others wouldn't have gotten me out, she figured, wich soothed her nerves and put worries about the temple to rest.
"I'll just go to their houses later." she said, heading toward her room. She noticed that Angel bunny had woken up, and went over to him, confused by the strange look he gave her. "he's probably confused at why I'm up so early... Wait. It's six ten!" she gasped, panicking! "I was up most of the night!" She calmed herself, saying, "well, I can at least get a little bit of rest..."

Entrance to the Temple
6:15am

"Where's Fluttershy? Why did she go in? Why hasn't she come out? Why can't WE go in?" asked a clearly panicking Twilight Sparkle, starting toward the enterance.
She didn't get very far before she was stopped by an orange earth pony, who said, "now calm down, sugarcube, Ah'm sure she's fine. why don't you send the princess a letter?"
"that sounds like a good idea, I'll go to the library, write the letter, see if I can find anything, and come right back." replied Twilight, not wanting to miss if Fluttershy came out. She then turned to leave, and walked towards Ponyville.

Once she got to the library, she sat down and began writing.

Dear Princess Celestia,

It has been quite some time since Fluttershy went into the strange temple, and I'm beginning to worry about her. I would go in after her, but there is some sort of magical barrier keeping me out. After I send this letter, I will search the library for anything that will help.

I've been thinking about the strange beast guarding the temple, and now that I think about it, it very closley resembled an Ursa Major. However, there were a few differences. As opposed to being blue, with yellow eyes, it was dark gray, almost black, with blue eyes. It also lacked claws or sharp teeth, and could communicate with ponies, though it was very loud. And after Fluttershy went in the temple, the creature vanished.
If I find any information, I'll send it to you.
Your faithful student,

Twilight Sparkle

Twilight sealed the letter, and set it down. Now, where to begin? I can't send the letter until tomorrow, unless Spike is awake. And he probably isn't. Hmm... I'll start in the fact section, but if I don't find anything, I'll try fiction, she thought, taking random books off the shelf and checking the covers.
"Hey, Twilight. Why're you up so early?" asked an extremely tired Spike. "It's, like, six in the morning."
"Has it really been six hours?" asked Twilight, startled.
"Yep."
"Okay... Oh! Spikecouldyousendthislettertoprincesscelestia? Please?"
"Okay! Uh, could you tell me what I'm supposed to do again? Slower maybe?"

Outside the Temple
6:30am

Applejack, Rarity, Pinkie Pie, Rainbow Dash, and the cmc were all outside the temple when they heard a loud noise.
"Hey! What gives!"
"What'n tarnation was that?"
"Uh, what was that?"
"I should be in bed right now!"
"What was that?"
"Ah knew we shouldn't have come here!"
"Eeep!"

"Everything is going to plan. The seven at the gate are preoccupied by my illusion of a loud noise. Then I, Shaded Rose, will go and take the stupid 'Princesses of Harmony'... And deal with them, and anyone who tries to stop me in my own... unique way."
