      A tall, white, and majestic alicorn walked through the halls of the Canterlot Castle. The halls were empty due to the nighttime. Her golden hoof shoes clomped against the white and purple tiles. She scanned her surroundings; white halls with dark chocolate like doors, every now and then, there was a window with a golden and purple rim.

     The white mare came to a stop at a blue door with a white moon on it. She knocked. No answer. She knocked again. Once again, no answer. Luna hasnt been spotted by any pony for a year now, yet the moon still raises. How is that? the mare thought.

    "Luna?" she said. There was still no answer.

    The white mare opened the door with her magic. The door slowly slid open. It creaks echoed through the empty halls. She walked into the room and searched for her sister. The bed was destroyed, the cabinet was destroyed, and about everything else was destroyed in Luna's room. The only thing that wasn't destroyed was a white desk. On the desk was a letter to her. The letter said:

Dear Sister Celestia,

By the time you read this I will already be out of Equestria. Don't bother looking for me because I won't be anywhere you think. If you want to know where I am, I am at Red Stone, a place full of humans. I have left there so I can have some alone time for the rest of my life. I choose this because I have been told by others that I am unworthy to be a co-ruler. You may think that this is a dumb reason, but there are also other things going on, Sister.

Your Sister,

Luna

      Celestia gasped.

     "GUARDS!!!!!!"


    In the throne room of the castle, Celestia sat on her throne while sweat ran down her white fur. She glanced around nervously until six ponies walked in. The ponies were Pinkie Pie, AppleJack, Rainbow Dash, Twilight Sparkle, Fluttershy, and Rarity.

    "We came as fast we could Princess! What's the problem?" Twillight asked.

    "It's my sister. Luna is missing!" Celestia cried.

   "Hasn't she been missing for about a year and a half, Princess?" Rainbow Dash asked with a tilt of her head. "Why are you now acting terribly worried?"

   "I have always been worried for my sister, but I know she can handle herself. If anything she could possibly turn back into Nightmare Moon and take care of any problems.... But that would cause a bigger problem for us... Nevermind, I have found a clue to why she has gone missing, but the clue is devastating," Celestia replied.

     Rarity fainted and almost hit the hard, cold ground, but AppleJack was able to catch her.

      "Do you know where she is?" AppleJack asked and found the answer when Celestia nodded.

       "She went the Red Stone, where humans are located. Most humans are good, but the ones in Red Stone are rude and there rogues, loners, and thieves," Celestia said. "I am sending you there to retrieve Luna and return her. Twillight will have a teleportation spell to teleport all of you there. I will trust you that you will bring her back safely."

    A piece of paper held by a yellow aurora appeared in front of Twillight. She grabbed it with her magic and opened it up, it was a hard spell to concur, but Twilight was determined to find Luna, even if it meant draining most of her magic.

   "Why can't Twilight just teleport us all there?" Pinkie asked. Her head tilted in a dog like fashion.

    "I tried to go there myself, but it seems that Luna has made a spell to keep anyone from using a normal teleportation spell. That is why I created the spell I gave to Twilight. Little does Luna know that I am able to always find a way to reach her" Celestia said. A small smirk graced her face, but it soon faded.

    "Ready girls?" Twilight asked her friends. They all nodded in response. She looked up at her former mentor who gave her a nod, telling her to do it.

    Twillight's horn sparked a little until it was fully glowing. The spell was draining every bit of energy from her, so she had to go fast. In a blink of an eye, they disappeared.


    The Captain of the Rogues stared at the moon through his glass window. He was in a cave like structure that was hidden in a moutain. He sighed. His entire body was covered by brown clothing and his head was covered by a brown hood that covered most of his face. The parts that weren't covered was hidden in shadows. The hood had a long cape attached to it. His hands were covered with dark brown leather gloves that looked like they didn't fit him, his feet were covered with leather shoes, and at his sides were two daggers.

     "I'm sorry," he whispered, unaware that someone was behind him.

     "Sorry for what Master?"

     The Captain turned his head to his tall human assistant. His assistant was a white man who had a small black beard at the tip of his chin. His hair was held up by a bandana, but the back of his head had a small pony tail. His right eyes was covered by an eye patch. The rest of his body was covered with long black trench coat like clothing, his left arm was metal which had some scratches on it, and his legs were covered with black leggings and brown leather straps.

     "You should know that it's rude to easy drop, Jack," the Captain said.

     "You should know that it's weird to talk to yourself, Lunar," Jack said mockingly.

    "Okay, you caught me. I was talking to myself." I should of told them a different name... Maybe it wouldn't of remind me of my past..

     "About what Master?"

      "My past. Now that I told you, what do you want?" Lunar demanded.

      "Would you like to eat with us or eat in your quarters?" Jack asked, hoping that his captain would finally join his men.

      "My quarters."

    Jack walked away as Lunar stared through the window again. A bright flash of pinkish purple came from a nearby village. Lunar began to panic. Oh no! They're looking for me!!!

  "Jack!" he shouted.

  "Master?" Jack raced to Lunar's side. "What is it?"

   "This may be insane, but there are colorful ponies that are going to look for me. There is one white unicorn, a purple unicorn with wings, a bright yellow Pegasus, a cyan Pegasus, an orange pony, and a pink pony with a really crazy mane!" Lunar grabbed Jack's shirt. "If you find them, take them to me, but do not harm them! If they are to capture me and take me away, I will never return! Ever!"

     "Ok Lunar, I think you are going crazy," Jack stated.

     Lunar pulled Jack closer. "This is the real world and if you don't do as I say, then you will be eliminated." Jack gulped and nodded quickly. He then raced off to the rocky kitchen.

    "I hate you Celestia," Lunar mumbled to himself. "I hate you and everyone of those Elements of Harmony Bearers..."


    "Something is wrong defiantly with Master!" Jack said. "Why did we even agree on having him as our captain?! He's a mad man!"

    "Why?" a voice replied. The voice came from a strong, black man who was bald. He had no shirt which revealed his six pack. He wore grey shorts that went to his knees and were full of holes. His feet were covered by black leather running shoes. His face had a long scar across his upper lip.

    "Don't you see it Ross? His skin is blue, he can't walk correctly, his hands always glow turquoise when he uses them, he always tries to hide himself under his clothing, and he is always talking to himself!" Jack explained.

   Ross sighed. "Did you tell the others?"

   "No. If I ever told them they would report me and Master would have my head," Jack said. "You're the only one I can trust."

  "And you said that Master said stuff about ponies?"

  "Yes!"

  "Well. We should go look for those ponies then," Ross said. He got up from the hand made wooden table in the kitchen cave and walked to the entrance of their hideout. "You comin'?"

  Jack sighed and walked away from the table too. "I guess so."
