The Vegas Dynasty

(500 Years Later)

It was just after the summer sun celebration. Twilight and her friends had just gave back the elements of harmony back to the tree of harmony, keeping the Everfree Forest stable.

But in the process, they have come across a mysterious box from the tree. Having six key holes, but no keys. It was surely a mystery the girls would have to figure out for themselves.

Twilight was in the library, examining the mysterious box a little closer, writing down notes every once in a while before finally giving a tired sound.

“Uhhhhhhhhhhhhh................ What’s in here?!” Twilight says then uses her magic to try to forcefully open it herself, but only succeeding in just giving herself a headache. “AHH!” Rubbing her front hoof on her head, dropping the box with her magic.

Spike walks in, seeing Twilight rubbing her head. “You still looking at that box. Twilight, I thought I told you, no forcing it open unless you figure out how, or well,” Spike has a long moment of silence. “Or what’s in it?” His arms in a strug like position, holding it in his right claw.

“I know, but I just can’t help it!” She stomps her front hooves,, Twilight giving Spike an anxious smile.

“Why don’t we just look at the books in the library. Maybe they have something that talks about this stupid- I mean um.., interesting box.” Looking at Twilight, giving a fake smile while holding the box behind his back. Twilight takes the box from him with her magic, smiling at him.

The smile now fading. “I guess we can try. But I’m sure that we’ll find something.” Her and Spike goes to the book shelves, instantly looking through books to find the box’s secret.

There in Canterlot castle, Celestia and Luna were in their throne room, no pony in but themselves.

Celestia’s holding a wooden box with her magic, Luna behind her, also having with her a wooden box, but smaller than the one Celestia has.

“Sister. Why did you summon me here? Is it about you know what?” She says the last part quietly, hoof to the side of her mouth, looking worried, with Celestia having almost an evil glare.

She turns to face her. “Oh, no need to call me sister, that’s something we only do when others are around.” She says all demanding like, Luna shakes her head.

“Again, why have you summon me here?” Luna asks her.

“I believe it’s quite simple.” She walks over to the stain glass window of Twilight. “You remember when those six ponies found that mysterious box from the Tree of Harmony, right?” Luna walks over to her, shaking her head yes.

“Why how could I have forgotten. The whole thing’s part of our plan.”

“And you remember exactly what’s inside of it, right?” Celestia questions her sister. Luna shaking her head yes again.

“Hmm. And do we want them to open this chest themselves?” Celestia questions back to her.

“Well, um...yes.” Luna says to her, Celestia taking the box from her and stacking it on top of the one she has.

“Now, here’s the plan.” Celestia opens one of the boxes she has, six keys shaped like diamonds, balloons, a star, a lightning bolt, and an apple coming out of it. Now she opens the second box, getting out papers and diagrams of the mysterious chest on it. “I need you to take three of these keys, and hide them far away from here.” Instantly, she turns the six keys into simple household items, handing over three of them to Luna.

“Wha...what? But can’t we just simply give them these keys?”

She turns back to her sister. “Oh, I wish it was that easy.” A smile comes on her face. Luna giving a smile back.

“So, where shall we hide ‘hem?” Celestia then using her magic to put each one in a box. Then handing her a piece of paper.

“This should say exactly where they need to be.”

On the paper, it showed a drawing of a stool of tread, an arrow pointing it to Manehatten. Another was a lightning shaped metal, pointing to a pony looking like Spitfire. The last one of a gold coin, pointing to a question mark. Luna shakes her head up.

“You’ll sure this plan will work.” A look of worry on Luna’s face. “You do remember the attack on Canterlot, right? We lost a lot of good troops then and-.”

Celestia facing her, looking certain it will work. Putting a hoof on her shoulder, smiling. “Trust me.” Luna giving a smile back. “And besides, not like we have a choice of plans here.” She gives a slight chuckle.

"What about Twilight?"

"What about her?"

"It's just. She's a princess now." Luna says to her worried.

Celestia just looks out the window. "Don't worry. She'll figure it out." Luna walks to her. Celestia puts her hoof to her chin, both smiling.

"Yes. She will be fine."

Luna puts the boxes in a saddlebag, then tying the bag on her. Celestia walks over to her. “And after you’re done with the deed, go straight to the our secret hideout in this mountain. We must conduct with our army about what’s gonna happen.” Luna shakes her head up, look confident.

The two now separate, Luna stretching out her wings, heading to the locations she’s supposed to go to, Celestia looking on.

“I wish we did have a choice.” She says quietly to herself. Looking at Luna flying away, then doing so herself.

So there were the Mane 6. All in a secret room in the library in the old Castle of the Two Sisters.

Twilight was telling her friends about Celestia and Luna’s old diary that they used to write in.

In the old ruined throne room of the castle, a mysterious shadow is shown, doing it’s best walking.

Just then another shadow appears, this one having yellow eyes. The two would meet. However, this one actually being a creature. The creature looking like an old, weak minotaur with a brown cloak on him.

“Hmm, Tirek. I see you have escaped from your prison. Tell me all about your escape.” The unknown shadow says to him.

“Oh, it’s nothing really. Just having Cerberus leave his guard post, that’s all.” Tirek says back to him. “How are you even here?” Tirek scratches his head, sounding a little confused.

“Oh, My prison has finally been shown to our little ponies.”

“Ours?”

“My sons of course. There plan must be starting to take full effect.”

“Right.” Tirek looks at him. “I’m just gonna go ahead and think of my own plan on how to gain my full power and conquer the equines that imprisoned me.”

“Good luck.”

Tirek walks away, the shadow walks over to the throne. He looks at it, seeming to remember the princesses used to living in here.

“The Everfree is with you always my two.” An evil smile appears on his face.

He walks away, heading to where he needs to go next.
