Chapter 1

Right now in Canterlot Castle,

The Sister's Luna and Celestia were asleep.

Then they heard a voice in their dreams, one all too familiar.

a voice of laughter, one that brought about a hatred no other voice would bring upon these sister's,

and then..they saw his face.

"AHAHAHAHAHAHA!"

Then the first sister awoke

"GAH! Huff..huff... Luna? is that you?" Celestia asked rubbing her hoof on her head.

"It is indeed me dear Sister, by that scream I suspect it was not a dream, but a vision."

Celestia jumped off the bed flying over to the other room.

"BUT WHY?! WHY WOULD HE RETURN NOW?! WHAT DOES HE WANT FROM US?!" She asks her sister screaming in terror

Luna puts one hoof on her sister's back "Sister, you know I understand no better his intentions than you,

we must warn the others."

"WHAT GOOD WILL IT DO?! WITHOUT THE ELEMENTS-" Celestia screams but is then interrupted

Luna replies "None, you're correct, but there may yet be a way, doth thou remember that SHE may well know of their origins,

and perhaps even know how to reforge them?"

Celestia continues huffing nervously "You're right Luna..i'll..i'll send a letter to Twilight, and ask her to come,

if anyone can stop him, she can."

Celestia then starts writing a letter.

*Elsewhere*

Twilight Sparkle is seen reading from a book, but suddenly the mirror to the Human World starts reacting to something.

"Huh?" Twilight asks confused

Pinkie Pie rushes over to the mirror reply "Well it looks like-"

Just then none other than Sunset Shimmer falls flat onto Pinkie Pie, she is heavily bruised, and is holding a card.

"OH MY GOSH!" Twilight screams

"Someone call an ambluance or something!"

"No need." Rainbow Dash replies taking Sunset Shimmer away

Sunset drops the card as she flies away.

Twilight picks it up, as Applejack replies "Friend of yours?"

Twilight responds still looking at the card "Yeah, that was..Sunset Shimmer."

"WAHAHAHA!" Rarity yells in horror "You mean that was the former student of Princess Celestia who stole your crown?!

What on earth could happened to her?!"

Twilight replies "I don't know, but look at this." She says holding the card out.

It is none other than 'the Great and Powerful Trixie's business Card, the pony version.

"Trixie? What on Earth would Trixie be doing there?" Applejack replies

"Could it be her counterpart there?" Rarity asks

Twilight replies "I don't think so, this is a piture of Pony Trixie, and i'm pretty sure the picture wouldn't change upon going through the portal."

Fluttershy then asks "Maybe..maybe we should go ask her?"

Twilight nods "Yeah, we could do that, come on girls. Rainbow should take care of-"

Just then Spike coughs up a letter

Twilight picks it up, and begins reading it.

"What does it say Sugar-cube?" Asks Applejack

Twilight replies once more "That i'm needed in Canterlot at once!

Ok, no problem, you guys go find Trixie and find out what this is about, and me and Spike will go to Canterlot Castle, and see what Celestia wants."

She says throwing the card to Aj, Aj replies ""Got it, come on ya'll!" Applejack yells, as the group run seperated.

Chapter 2

Twilight and Spike arrive at Canterlot castle.

"PRINCESS CELESTIA! I got the message..

What's wrong? Has Queen Chrysalis or Tirek returned? has King Sombra found his way here from the alternate world?

Is it some new threat or-"

Just then Celestia interrupts

"Enough, Twilight Sparkle, this is a threat greater than you could possibly realize,

dating back 1000 years ago to the beginning of Equestria."

Spike replies "Doesn't it always?"

Celetia laughs sarcastically "Haha Spike,

need I remind you that this threat could doom Equestria?"

Twilight responds again "Sorry Princess, Spike didn't mean it's just hard for him to take this kind of thing seriously anymore,

we haven't had any casualities on any of those adventures, I guess you could say i'm kinda fearless-"

Just then Celestia hits Twilight in the face "YOU FOAL!

There is a difference between being Fearless, and arrogant!"

"SISTER!" Luna says interrupting

Celestia huffs once more "....I'm sorry Twilight, I shouldn't have.."

She gasps for air "It's just...what you said about there being no casualities, it just set me off..

But.. you didn't know."

Twilight replies rubbing her cheek "What? what didn't I know?"

"Sister?" Luna asks, attempting to comfort her.

Then Celestia continues

"1000 years ago the world of Equestria was in harmony,

the four nations of Unicornia, Pegasopolis, Earthland, and...Alicornia were at perfect peace.

Twilight interrupts "Alicornia?!"

Celestia continues "Hush,

But then one day THEY came, the beings that would put harmony in Equestria, to an end.

The first you know of, he was Discord, but Discord.. was just the lackey, serving under ..

Enigma."

Twilight replies again "But ... I don't understand."

Celestia continues once again "Enigma was a spirit of Chaos LIKE Discord,

but he was willing to go to lengths that Discord would not, do things he would not,

he didn't just not care about pony's well being, he enjoyed watching them suffer,

Discord would turn homes into Marshmellow, Enigma would turn their very BONES into Marshmellow,

Discord brought about Chocolate rain, Enigma brought about ACID rain.

"That's horrible." Twilight replies

Celestia continues "It get's worse,

one day...

Enigma had a vision, a vision of his defeat, at the hands of Alicorn Sister's,

So he..." Celestia starts to cry before finishing.

"Sister?" Luna asks, attempting to comfort her.

Celestia continues "So he burned Alicornia to the ground."

"WHAT?!" Spike replies in fear

Celestia continues again "But what he didn't anticipate, was survivors,

Alicorn Sister's, we were those sister's, we found the Tree of Harmony, and turned him and his brother to stone,

after that we found the Ponies of the three other nations now banded together, they were more than willing to make us their ruler."

"But why bring this up now Princess?" Twilight asks confused

Celestia continues "When Discord returned, Enigma disappeared from his prison,

we weren't sure what became of him, but he was no where to be found,

last night me and Luna both had a dream of his return, the same dream."

Luna continues for her "Except it wasn't a dream, it was a vision,

Twilight Sparkle, we know not why now, but Enigma is returning, and he is more powerful than his brother,

so without the elements we cannot defeat him."

"So what are we supposed to do?" Twilight asks

Celestia continues again "There is hpwever, one hope for Equestria,

there is someone who knows of the origins of the Tree of Harmony, and just might be able to plant a new one,

my elder sister, Queen Rota.'

"HUH?!" Twilight and Spike ask in unison

Celestia continues again "You see Twilight, my elder sister is the 'Queen' of Equestria, she is not known by many,

because she flies high above the clouds of Equestria, never ending, to keep Equestria in constant rotation,

I am the Sun, Luna the Moon, Rota is the Earth, I am left in charge because my sister can never be on the surface for more than a day at a time,

she knows of the Tree's origins, and may can restore it."

"But how do we find her?! If she's traveling the world all the time, what can we do?!" Spike asks

Celestia raises a hoof in repliance "There is a Dragon who now resides in the Crystal Empire, he keeps track of where my Sister is at each time of year,

he can help you find her."

"A DRAGON?!" Twilight replies screaming

Luna replies "Fear not, for he is not a large dragon, but a Dragon who like you did not give in to his greed."

"REALLY?! LIKE ME?!" Spike yells

Celestia laughs "Yes Spike, like you, Twilight Sparkle..

This is the most important task I have EVER placed upon you, are you willing to go through with it?"

Twilight pauses for a moment "...IF I don't do this, than Equestria will fall, so i'm more than willing to find your sister!"

Chapter 3

We move to the main four, who have just arrived at Trixie's house, on the outskirts of Ponyville.

Applejack walks up to the door

*KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK*

Opening the door is a strange dragon, in similar appearance to Spike, but instead of Purple and Green, he is Blue and Orange,

with his spines laid back, he is slightly taller than Spike, and his eye white is yellow.

"Hello? can I help you?" The small dragon asks

AJ speaks up "Um.. hello, we're looking for the Great and Powerful Trxie-"

"TRIXIE! Someone's at the door for you!" He yells

Trixie rushed down quickly

"Ah, my apologies, don't mind Sputnik, he's in a bad mood today-

correction he's always in a bad mood."

Pinkie Pie laughs "WOW! You have your own Spike? why have we never seen him before?!"

Trixie replies "Ah you noticed! Well I don't usually bring him with me to my showings, he's not of much help,

he just sit's here lazily at home like my parents."

A short and plump pony walks up bonking Trixie on the head.

"WHAT'D YOU SAY? MORTY! Trixie's making fun of us again!"

Pinkie pushes AJ out of the way, "Listen, Ma'am, can we speak to Trixie privately please?"

The elderly woman responds "What? oh yeah sure! go find her a boyfriend, and a life."

Trixie screams "MOM!" And the door is slammed on her face

Trixie begins to speak "*Ahem*... Sorry you had to see that,

Now what can I- THE GREAT AND POWERFUL TRIXIE DO FOR YOU MARES?"

AJ hands her the card Sunset Shimmer dropped.

Trixie replies "Hmm? where did you get this?"

Pinkie pushes AJ away again, wearing her detective hat and replying "A Unicorn named Sunset Shimmer had it, any idea how she got it?"

Trixie responds quickly "Sunset Shimmer?!"

Fluttershy responds quietly "Yes.. d-do you know her?"

Trixie replies again "Hardly, but I got in a bet with her once..

That's how I got Sputnik."

"You mean Sputnik belonged to Sunset Shimmer?" Applejack pondered

"That makes sense, Twilight said she got Spike going in Magic Kindergarden,

and Sunset Shimmer would've been in the same school."

Pinkie jumps up "Yeah, but how did Sunset get this card?"

Trixie replies "I'm not sure, the only place I was giving these cards out is in the Crystal Empire,

I was trying to get more errmm... 'high class ponies' to pay attention to my show, I gave them to Crystal Ponies, Royal guards-"

AJ speaks up again "The Crystal Empire?

Now that don't make a lick of sense,

Sunset Shimmer left to the human world before the Crystal Empire came back,

she's only been there once, it was late at night, and hardly time enough for one of these to fall into her hooves."

"W-what happened?" Trixie asks

AJ replies "Sunset Shimmer was brutally attacked, bruised pretty bad, we found her with this card in her hoof."

Trixie panics "N-now hold on, you don't think I-"

AJ replies again "No, we know you've changed Trixie, but I think we all know what this means."

"We do?" Pinkie asks

AJ replies once more "Yes we do, it means that whoever attacked Sunset Shimmer is from this world,

and had been to the Crystal Empire more than once."

Fluttershy responds "B-but how?

the magic mirror is in Twilight's castle now, one of us would've seen them enter, and it couldn't have opened back in the Crystal Empire."

Pinkie Pie replies again "Yeah, cause Twilight hadn't done her science yet."

Trixe blinks a few times "...Done her science?"

AJ laughs "It's best not to try to figure her out."

Chapter 4

We move back to Rainbow Dash,

who is seen flying Sunset Shimmer up to her Castle.

"HI RAINBOW DASH!" Scootaloo screams, having snuck into her room during the night.

"YAAAHHH!" RD yells "SCOOTALOO! What are you doing here?"

"Umm... NOT sneaking in here at night." Scootaloo replies, with an obviously fake smile.

"Whatever, since you're here, help me carry this unicorn>" RD orders

Scootaloo replies "Ooooohh, who is this? how did they get all these injuries?"

"Doesn't matter, the guys are working on figuring that out,

right now we've gotta make sure she get's better."

RD states, putting her down onto her cloud couch.

She falls through

"OH CRUD!" RD yells, rushing back down to catch her,

she manages and flies her way back up.

"Now what do we do?! she's not a Pegasus..she can't walk on clouds."

RD asks

Scootaloo replies "Why don't you just take her to the hospital? i'm sure they could help her get better."

RD replies "I can't do that, Sunset Shimmer's kind of..

well she's a criminal, the only reason she hasn't been arrested, is because she's been taking up residence in another world,

if I take her to the hospital, they might turn her in."

"You can take her to my house!" Scootaloo yells with excitement

"Scootaloo that's nice and all, but your family probably don't want a wanted criminal in the house."

Scootaloo replies "Oh no! i'm not sure they won't mind!"

RD pauses for a moment "Y-you're sure they won't?...they won't mind?"

"Definetily not, if she's a friend of yours, then she's a friend of my family and me." Scootaloo states

RD replies "Well thanks Scoots, come on! Let's go!"

*A few moments pass, and RD arrives at Scootaloo's house*

An angry orange Pegasus is seen yelling to her

"WHAT WERE YOU THINKING SCOOTALOO?!

BRINGING A WANTED CRIMINAL INTO OUR HOME?!

HOW COULD YOU THINK I'D POSSIBLY BE OK WITH THIS?!"

Rainbow salutes "With all due respect ma'am,

Sunset Shimmer's reformed now, she-"

Scootaloo's mother replies "WELL THEN SHE SHOULD TURN HERSELF IN!

If you can't do the time, don't do the crime I always say."

Scootaloo tugs on her mother's leg.

"Mooomm...

You promised you'd be nice to Rainbow Dash when you first meet her."

"Scootaloo I-"

She's interrupted again.

"How can you be nice to her if you're not letting her friend who could be dying stay here with us?

You promised you'd be nice to my sister.."

RD pauses again

And Scootaloo's mother replies

"*Sigh* Alright fine, let's just... start over

Hi, my name's Fruitaloo, i'm Scootaloo's mom."

They shake hooves

"Hi, i'm Rainbow Dash, Scootaloo's Idol/Sister.

good to meet you, thanks for letting Sunset Shimmer stay here."

Fruitaloo puts on a very fake smile.

"Oh, it's no problem at all Rainbow Dash."

Scootaloo smiles

"See? I knew you two could get along!"

Fruitaloo responds

"*Ahem* yes, well, if you're going to take care of this crimina-

your friend, I suggest you do it right, I used to be a nurse before I retired to spend more time with Scootaloo,

i'll see what I can do."
