Chaos passed by, villains got united, what will happen to these little three fillies who lost their siblings and families. Will all three survive?

All three of our adorable fillies were so glad that they had Twilight back from that wolf virus. After all those fear of hiding from the wolf, not being allowed to get out, parent's exaggeration and fear all prevented them from searching for their cutie marks.

All was left to do is for them to instead of wasting their time for Twilight's welcoming party, to get their cutie marks. So all three gathered around in their tree house, each had no idea of what future and faith was they have been taken to.

Chapter One: Tree House Meeting

(PS: Please read the previous stories of mine, Flutter Wolf first and than Twilight Wolf, or else you might get a little confused how it came up to here)...

It was a very cheerful night for all ponies, having a party to welcome both Fluttershy and Twilight Sparkle. Everyone was enjoying the party, even Princesses were here. From babies to old mares and stallions nearly whole Equestria was invited to the party. The moon was shinier than all before. Yet, some ponies were not in the party. They were missing. Where were the cutie mark crusaders? In their tree house, searching for a way to find their cutie marks probably. Perhaps, they did not want to waste time on celebrating because they already wasted much time in hiding from the wolves.

"Quiet!" Apple Bloom said and hit the hammer in her mouth to the speech table. Sweetie Belle and Scootaloo looked at her. Apple Bloom cleared her throat and continued her speech. She tried to seem as serious as possible so that the other friends of her could see that this is an important another trial.

"Fillies and gentleco-, I mean fillies." she said and the other two laughed. Apple Bloom got serious again and cleared her throat once more." I need to tell you that we wasted much time hiding behind our windows, and for good news, wolf virus crisis is now over!" she said. Scootaloo and Sweetie Belle applaused and cheered. Maybe at last this one, they were able to get their cutie marks. It was always suprising that, though all those failures, they never gave up. They just kept on to more with more trials tp get their cutie marks.

"As you can see, it is no longer a destiny for us to sit here and wait. Time to strike ponies! We need to find our cuti-" Apple Bloom was interrupted by a very loud thunder. Soon she saw Sweetie Belle hugging Scootaloo. She rolled her eyes. "Oh come on, don't let the rain prevent our cutie marks again. We are so close. I know it!" she continued.

Sweetie Belle looked at the window. She was shocked. For one or two seconds, she could not talk but than with a huge loud sound of hers appeared. "Check this out. Sky is pink!" she screamed.

"What do you mean by pink?" asked Scootaloo and looked up at the sky. They both made a "gulp*" sound from their throat. Scootaloo turned her back and looked at Apple Bloom. "I think you need to look at this."

Apple Bloom rolled her eyes again, "I mean..." she said, "It is ok if Sweetie Belle is a little scaredy cat but what happened to you Scoot-. Sweet Celestia! What is this?" she said. Than another thunder striked the top of their trees. They were all shocked and so scared.

"Brown rain? Why it is raining in brown colour?" asked Scootaloo.

"Well I do not know, and I don't want to." said Sweetie Belle. They were all shivering and so scared. "I will go find my sister, Rarity must know something and I need to know if she is safe or not." said Sweetie Belle and she attempted to leave but the two friends held her.

"No we can't leave this area, don't you see outside? They know we are here. Don't be silly that all those elements fo harmony would be defeated by a scary weather." Scootaloo said and she started to laugh by herself. When she noticed nopony else was laughing she got a little worried and asked "I mean, they will be safe... Right?". She did not get a reply.

The thunders were increasing and they decided to postphone the cutie mark adventure and instead they started to wait and they decided to sit and talk about it. Apple Bloom looked at the window if anyone was coming. From her window she saw something little. It was like a fly from up there. Was that a?

"A changeling!" Apple Bloom screamed. The two ponies ran to the window and suddenly they saw it was coming to them. They closed the lights and started to hide. After a while, someone knocked the door of the tree house. Sweetie Belle smiled "See? I knew they would come for us!" she said and started to walk to the door to open it but yet the other two friends of her prevented her feauture action.

"We are not sure if it is them. We have to wait." said Scootaloo.

"So let's ask who is it than?" said Sweetie Belle. The other two facehoofed.

"Open it! It is me!", it sounded like Big Mac.

They opened the door. Apple Bloom asked "Brother is everything alright?". Big Mac laughed and turned into Apple Bloom and with her voice she repeated what she asked. They understood it was a changeling and than with a quick move when the changeling was about to head inside Scootaloo shot the door and made the changeling got hit from head. They heard the hit and they rushed back to their hiding places. They were so frightened.

"See Sweetie Belle? We can't trust anypony..." said Scootaloo.

"What is this? What is going on? What is happening?" Sweetie Belle asked.

"I have no idea what is going on but I am pretty sure that the previous crisis Ponyville faced are nothing near this. This is chaos." Scootaloo said. They started to hear some attacking sounds. Someone or someones were trying to break their cutie marks to get them.

"Hurry! Get the woods and nails! Let's cover the windows with our woods. That will defend the windows so that they can't enter from their. It will gain us time." Apple Bloom said and they started to place and block all the windows. Scootaloo just saw a changeling looking at her in front of the window. She screamed and hurried her hooves and pushed the nails inside the edges of the woods and made them stick to the windows. All left for three of them to hug eachother and with their hope, they had to expect their sisters to come.

Suddenly with a crash changelings started to rush in. There were three of them in front of them who broke the door. Though there were some others who were trying to come from the roof and windows. They were so frightened. Sweetie Belle acted quick and levitated a feather and tickled each of them. The others achieved to leave the house and Sweetie Belle was running behind them. Changelings were following them. They saw the barn but there were changelings over there. Soon they saw Berry Punch who was about to fly. Changelings were a little behind but they were still able to catch them.

"Please Berry! You need to take us!" Scootaloo said. Berry Punch nodded and let the three fillies in. She started to push the hot air balloon and than the balloon levitated itself. Berry Punch was about to jump but one of the changeling bit and caught her.

"They feed on us!" Scootaloo screamed. They were about to fly but changeling came to them who bit Berry Punch. While Berry Punch was still fainted, turning into a changeling, the other one held the hot air balloon. Scootaloo saw its leg, it did not target the ponies, it was about to bite the balloon so that it can pop. While Scootaloo was trying to hold the changeling down with their hooves, Sweetie Belle got another feather from Scootaloo and tickled the changeling. Changeling laughed and fell to the ground. It died.

"I killed one! I am a murderer!" said Sweetie Belle. She started to cry. What was going on? Wasn't this situation too big for them to handle? They can't gain a cutie mark to save the whole Equestria.

"So we basically know, Discord and Chrysalis is in charge of this thing." Scootaloo said. The other two nodded. "But before that we have a bigger situation? Where is your sister? And Apple Bloom's?" she asked.

"We have a bigger one, we don't know where this balloon will take us and we do not know how to control it!" Apple Bloom said. They all looked at each other but they did not scream... They did not want to get any more attention and newcomer guests. After a while they had no idea where they were. Only thing they can see were clouds and sky. They had to do something, before they get lost in a dessert or a snow island. They should survive, or find a safer place.

Scootaloo had an idea. "Girls, this won't cut. I will jump down, open my parachute, and wind will help me a soft landing. Than you will give me a rope down to have a look. Than pull me." said Scootaloo. "Just in case there are two more, but let's not risk it. Just let you know that, I want you to go if something happens to me. After two minutes if you hear nothing from me about the land. Keep on! Promise me!" said Scootaloo.

"We can't do that! We can't leave you! It is unfair!" Sweetie Belle said.

"For Equestria you must! I will try my best. Please do not worry! I promise I will return! Hold on now!" said Scootaloo. She jumped down from the hot air balloon even not hearing what the other two friends of her were about to say.

Soon the two other ponies waited. It was about to become two minutes after they landed the rope down.

"Oh come on!" Sweetie Belle said.

They were still waiting but hopefully they saw Scootaloo climbing back.

"At last! Are you ok?" Apple Bloom ask. Scootaloo got back to the hot air balloon and nodded. "You know where are we?" Apple Bloom continued.

"We are at Canterlot! We are so close to the castle. We can use our parachutes. I will go with Sweetie Belle. You pick the other. And when I say open your paraschute, just do it." Scootaloo said. They both nodded and landed down safe. Everypony seemed a little less panicked here. Though there were some thunders coming true. Chaos was spreading. They rushed inside the castle. Searched for Princess Luna or Celestia.
They looked everywhere. Soon, Scootaloo found a place that was heading downstairs. They all decided to rush in. They were trying to see and identify the objects and the rooms but it was too dark for them to identify.

"Is it really good? Do you think we made the right decision to leave our friends and sisters?" Sweetie Belle asked and cried. Her friends hugged her.

"You saw, Sweetie Belle, we could not stay in there. We would be... Dead..." Apple Bloom said, she dropped a tear too. "I miss my sister, just like you. At least we have elements of harmony, we can trust them. I am pretty sure they will fix and solve this. So that it will lead us back to the normal and peaceful times that we once had." she continued.

"Elements of Harmony? Boo hoo! More like elements of disharmony! Even your pony friends can't solve this powerful dark curse. We are the new winners. We are the new rulers! No more princesses, welcome queens!" someone said. They could not see who was her but than Sweetie Belle lit her horn. They all looked at her. She was behind the iron bars.

"Trixie!" Scootaloo screamed.

"Oh, a filly knows my name. I knew that I am the great and powerful one but I never knew I had fans." Trixie said.

"Actually, we are not fans. We basically hate you because of what you did to our friends." Scootaloo said and smiled."

"Well does it seem like from there that I actually care? Little filly, my time is coming, our belief and purpose is now on. From now on, everypony will see the real ruler of this land!" she said and laughed evily. "I can feel it." she continued.

"Yes, don't make me zip your mouth if you scare those fillies more!" Princess Cadance said.

Scootaloo and her friends were so happy to see Cadance, they hugged her. They told what happened and what passed through. Princess Cadance was shocked.

"From now on stick to me..." she said. "Because the real chaos is coming. I do not know what happened after I left to bring Trixie to the prison" she said. "The real chaos is coming!" Cadance said. They were hearing ponies screaming. There were changelings trying to attack to the castle. Scootaloo, Apple Bloom and Sweetie Belle hugged Cadance, unaware of what to do next.

Chapter Two: Collapse of Canterlot

All three ponies were too terrified and scared. Their only protection was the magic of Princess Cadance. The castle gates were about to be broken. Apple Bloom was trembling. Scootaloo came forward and tried to lighten the dark hallway a little bit more. Trixie, behind the bars laughed like an evil witch. Her eyes glew. She raged and tried to break the bars. She failed but she laughed again. Scootaloo turned around and looked at her with disgust. She came closer. "You, are nothing!" she yelles at Trixie. Trixie was shocked. She rolled her eyes and laughed again. Scootaloo hit the bars and cried. "YOU ARE NOTHING!" she screamed. "If only I would have my scooter with me and jump with the help of a ramp to fly and stick an apple pie to your face!" she said.

Princess Cadance levitated her on her back. "Calm down my little filly. Everything will be ok. Just stick to me." she said. Scootaloo closed her eyes and a the last tear drop found itself on the stone brick floor of the castle. The attack and force on the castle gates were still going on.

"We need to leave. They are coming close." said Sweetie Belle. Apple Bloom just wanted to nod and she did.

"No, we can't go anywhere! Stay behind me!" Princess Cadance said. She lit her horn and she was ready to cast the spell.

"Open it my love! It is me Shining Armor!" someone said outside the door. Princess Cadance opened her eyes wider and smiled and she rushed to the door.

"NO! It can be a changeling! Don't!" Scootaloo said and tried to stop Princess Cadance. However, it was too late. Princess Cadance already opened the door. Shining Armor was standing there. He smiled and hugged Princess Cadance. Than he pushed her to the wall. He laughed evily. He turned into Queen Chrysalis. Queen Chrysalis laughed.

"I mean isn't this wonderful? Love is tricky and I tricked you." she said. Apple Bloom came front. "You will loose! You have no chance to win, you.... you... You bug!" she said. Chrysalis gasped and laughed again. Her army occured behind her.

Queen Chrysalis looked at her army and than the fillies. "You are right little one..." she said and laughed. "How will I be able to defeat three little creatures? Oh, I really have no chance!" she said and giggled more. She continued her words. "Before that, I have something to do.". She casted a spell and broke the gate of Trixie. Trixie laughed evilly and pushed Scootaloo with her body and came near Chrysalis. Scootaloo fell down but stood back.

"How dare you? Come you little witch!" she said and tried to fly and attack to Trixie but her friends held her. Trixie looked and Chrysalis and they both started to laugh.

"I might say I would watch you all day and night..." Queen Chrysalis said and than smiled. Than her face got serious. "But I have a kingdon to rule so you are obviously postponing it!" she yelled. Cadance stood up and came in front of the filles.

"Do not even try to dare!" Cadance said. She got mad and casted a spell on Chrysalis. Chrysalis fell down. With another blast of spell, she made all the army and Trixie fell to ground. With this distraction Princess Cadance started to run with the three fillies. They started to run to the train station. The army was following them. The train worker started to take the mares and stallions to the train. It was going to Crystal Empire. The train worker was yelling to mention it was the last train. All of the ponies panicked when they saw the changeling army coming closer.

All three fillies achieved to enter to the train. However, they were missing Princess Cadance. They looked at Princess Cadance. She stopped. She looked back and than "You go! Go find Shining Armor! He is at the Crystal Empire! I will be trying my best to..." she got attacked by changelings. She was trying her best shot to get rid of all of them but they were coming over and over. Sweetie Belle with Scootaloo's feather tickled some of the changelings and even she, as a little unicorn filly trying her best shot to help Cadance. The train started to move a little slow.

They saw Chrysalis landing down. She casted a green big spell that made Princess Cadance fall down. "You took my willings and aims away from me. Now it is my turn to take it back. First, let me take your magic and give it to my beautiful blue mare... I mean, some of it at least." she said. Yet, Princess Cadance was resisting with her love so Queen Chrysalis was not able to consume all the magic she had. She only achieved to take the ones that Princess Cadance consumed from Trixie. She gave them back to Trixie. They both laughed in an evil way.

"Now justice is back!" Trixie said. "The great and powerful Trixie will bring disharmony now!" she said. Than she saw three fillies inside the train. She casted a spell which made the last carriage get seperate and a little damaged. Three little fillies rushed to the other carriage and they achieved to jump. Trixie laughed. "Run my little ponies! Run! But never forget, wherever you go, whatever you do... HAHAHAHHAA!" she started to laugh. Sweetie Belle was using the feather to tickle Trixie. "Make it stop, make it stop! HAHHAHHAHA!" she was still laughing.

"Enough with you and your threatens!" Sweetie Belle yelled and dropped the feather. The train started to move again and it started to take its' journey to Crystal Empire. It was not over yet. They saw the hoof of Chrysalis which was pointing at them. The changeling army started to fly and each of them were trying to catch the train to make it stop.

"BRING THEM BACK! BRING MY SLAVES BACK! I WANT THEM ALL!" Chrysalis yelled. She watched the train getting far away and she got mad. "Well, let's look at the bright side.... They are going to my kingdom now." she said and looked at Trixie. They both laughed again.

Maybe for the one last time, they were looking at Canterlot. They watched panicking ponies running away while Chrysalis and her army were attacking the houses and ponies. Destroying, burning and casting spells. Hurting and biting them with their sharp teeth. They were hungry. They wanted to suck the love of ponies from their body. So that with the lack of love, which means having no heart they were also turning into changelings.

Scootaloo hugged Sweetie Belle and Apple Bloom. "I am so sorry" she said. They lost Princess Cadance, the only elder that they knew. Now they were feeling a little abandoned and unsafe. Yet, they knew that they had eachother and they also knew that together there was no obstacle to block them from their aims. However, they were at the carriage, unaware from what will happen. All of them were afraid and all of them were so terrified. Each of them were having flashbacks of the marriage between Shining Armor and Princess Cadance. All those terror and fear were back again.

"I miss my brother, my granny and especially my sister.... A lot!" Apple Bloom yelled. She started to cry with her deep pain.

"I miss my sister and my parents too... I even miss Opal and her unnecessary hissings!" Sweetie Belle said. She joined the sorrow of Apple Bloom.

"I miss Rainbow Dash a lot..." Scootaloo said. "Wait a minute that is it!" she said. "I know how to get our cutie marks. We are just so luck that they have not caught us yet!" she said.

Apple Bloom got shocked and Sweetie Belle joined Apple Bloom's shock with opening her mouth. They both rolled their eyes in a creepy way. "You are not serious right?" Apple Bloom asked.

Scootaloo nodded. "Of course I am! This is our destiny! We will be the heroes to defeat them all! All we have to do is save our siblings." Scootaloo said.

"But... How?" Sweetie Belle asked.

"Hmm... Just like our savior sisters... We will act like them. What would our role models, I mean siblings would do in this situation? If we act like with this, we can all get through this! Let's call this the mission of crusader saviors!" Scootaloo said.

"You mean cutie mark crusaders right?" asked Apple Bloom.

"NO! We will be saviors soon! So get ready! Just act like your siblings against a situation!" said Scootaloo.

"So you want me to say 'Oh my stars darling!' and than faint? Like my sister?" Sweetie Belle asked.

Scottaloo facehoofed. "NO! Act like elements of harmony!" Scootaloo said.

"You know I have nothing to give to somepony else in this apocolypse to be generous right? And in addition, don't we need two more ponies for that to resolve and 'remake' the elements of harmony?" Sweetie Belle asked.

Apple Bloom facehoofed too. "NO! It won't happen either. It is not with finding two new ponies to recreate the elements. What did our siblings and their friend had in common that they had those characteristics and powers before even discovering them. So, it won't happen. Yet, we can ask Shining Armor to open the Crystal Library to get to learn about the past of the villains. Maybe we can find out something over there instead of predicting or trying to create impossible solutions." she said.

"Apple Bloom is right. we should not do it for our cutie marks. I would prefer staying as a 'blank flank" for thousand years to get my sister back!" Sweetie Belle.

"Hi blank flanks! What a chance.... I am now stuck with these on the same carriage. You probably will stay like that for thousand times.... I do not know if you will get your sister back tho." someone said behind and all three fillies looked at her. Someone walked closer to them from the hall of the train.

"Diamond Tiara?" said Scootaloo. "Within this crysis, my apologies but we have no time to deal with you!" Scootaloo said.

"Actually..." Diamond Tiara said. She was crying and she did not seem to be strong, instead she looked sad and 'peeved'. "I am not here to argue. I am telling the truth. I can't find my parents and I... I am afraid..." she said. Tears were dropping like a fountain from her eyes. Apple Bloom looked at her and she and her friends hugged her. She pushed them away. "Stop it." she said. "It is all because of you and your friends! Why are not there saving us now? Why!" she raged at them. The three of them dropped their ears and looked at the ground.

"We don't know where our siblings are..." Scootaloo said. "We are going to Crystal Empire to get some information." she continued. "Why are you here?" she asked.

"My dad had a work in here... When I lost my mom in Ponyville....I could not find him either! Leave me alone now!" Diamond Tiara said and yelled. She sat on a seat and looked away. The train stopped.

"Ok..." Scootaloo said. She looked at her friends. "Let's go to the castle before the bugs come..."

"Wait! Where are you all going? What are you up to?" Diamond Tiara asked.

"To the castle... To find information... We mentioned that..." Apple Bloom said and they walked out from the carriage.

"Wait... Uh..." Diamond Tiara said. The three fillies stopped. "Can I, I mean I will come with you! Just for my parents. Don't take that like I want to hang with you or something. I will never do that blank flanks." she said.

"No than..." Scootaloo said. "We do not want a drama queen to come with us to take our time from saving our siblings..." she continued.

Diamond Tiara rolled her eyes. "Ok I am sorry... Just let me come with you. I do not want to be alone." Diamond Tiara said. She hit her hoof to the ground. "There, you happy now?" she asked.

Actually instead of happy, all three of the fillies were shocked. Diamond Tiara apologized for the first time in their life. She looked at eachother and nodded. Sweetie Belle came front. She put one hoof to the neck of Diamond Tiara. "Sure, you can come with us." she said and smiled. They all started to make their way to the castle, hoping nothing to face.

Chapter Three: Mission Canterlot

It was the probably first time, yet cutie mark crusaders did not notice, they were heading to a castle with no guards... Where were them all? Did they leave the castle? Crystal Empire was preparing just like an apocalypse spreading to Equestria, hitting every land of it one by one... What was causing all these? How come all the villains had time to find each other and unite? How did they plan and applicate this? Each of them surely had one thing in common. Smelling the taste of causing fear on ponies. One thins was sure and it had to be known by everypony that exists in this kingdom. There is always contrasts. For instance, with goodness, there is evil or with peace and harmony, there is also war and disharmony. If there is somepony that had or have not accepted this condition, it will be and would be harder to maintain their lives. Life is not a fairytale and especially those three fillies actually saw the real face of the life. Life was actually more than trying to find a cutie mark in this kingdom. From all the days they had spent and wasted by searching a cutie mark, now they found out there were much worse and harder situations and conditions that life causes than being a 'blank flank'.

All fillies started to enter the castle and passed the gates. They were trying to rush, but also did not want to attract and be in the center of attention. They did not want to cause another panic in ponies and in addition, they could not trust anypony. Since the last tree house meeting that they had, changelings were the main issue and trouble. Yet, they may have lost some ponies, including Princess Cadance, and left them maybe behind. However, one thing was sure that all three of them, and even Diamond Tiara, that joined the mission of theirs', never lost hope. They were still hopeful about their relatives and ponies that they love. They were lucky that they have not get caught but life can change anything. With one step, with one wrong idea or attempt those ponies can even be forced to face the worst nightmare that they have even never seen before.

"Wait... I know Cadence said that we should look for Shining Armor. However are we sure that we can find him here?" asked Apple Bloom with a little-confused face.

"Princess Cadance said so, I do not really know. But, since Princess Cadance believed that the changeling which was at the front of the Canterlot Castle was Shining Armor, I can guess that she was expecting Shining Armor from here. We have to look for Shining Armor!" said Sweetie Belle.

"We do not have to..." Scootaloo said. Every other pony gasped.

"What do you mean?" Diamond Tiara asked. "You are telling me that, you brought me here for nothing blank flanks?" she said angrily and then face hoofed.

"No, we can be something with or without an adult near us! We are cutie mark crusaders! We can do anything! We can success this. And I never brought you here and forced you, you wanted to come, so... Please think twice before you speak." said Scootaloo.

Diamond Tiara rolled her eyes. "Look, chicken. What I tried to say was, you could have said this on the train. Yet, you preferred this after a long trip that we made..." said Diamond Tiara.

"We are doing it for Cadance!" Scootaloo said. "That is why I am here and you are still being rude. You never decided to come here with us. If you wanted to stay in Canterlot with an army of changelings, it was up to you... You saw us on the train and then you felt lonely and then wanted to come. We could not and can not leave a friend that is in trouble."

"I am not your frie-! Ugh, whatever!" Diamond Tiara said and rolled her eyes and decided to walk a little front of them.

"Shining Armor? Prince? Are you here?" Apple Bloom was crying out for the prince.

"The smartest and safest way to find the prince..." Diamond Tiara said and rolled her eyes. Every other pony said 'Hush!' to make her stop talking and keeping her attitude. "Whatever!" she said.

"Surprising you are searching for your prince... You are late however and a little early I must say. You were so lucky that Nightmare Moon did not see you. However, I did. She handled the prince by herself. You are mine now! I must congratulate you three... You got your backs good. But not it is time for you to say 'Hello dungeons!'." someone said and appeared in front of them. "You are coming with me!" the new character said and cast a quick spell and put all the three on his back and left Diamond Tiara alone. Diamond Tiara ran away...

"Stop it Discord! We have to stop them! You can not unite with those evil villains! We were friends!" Scootaloo said to Discord.

Discord giggled. "Are we? Well, I need to take you to the dungeon, though we have the elements of harmony, and all your sisters in our Canterlot dungeons, we have the two princesses. Hold me tight now, we are going to Canterlot!" he continued.

"You know where our sisters are? Where are they? WHAT DID YOU DO TO THEM?" Sweetie Belle asked.

"Oh, they are in the cells. I did not do something personally to them. It was the princess of the night's order. So they are all in there. I have nothing to do..." Discord said and giggled once again. "Don't worry, you three. I am taking you to them. Just in the way that I want. Misery and suffer. With the chaos of course! Oh by the way, do you know that I am the king of Ponyville from now on?" Discord asked.

"What?" Apple Bloom asked.

"Hahaha... You must see your face... It is hilarious. Yes, I am afraid, I am telling the truth. Nightmare Moon gave me this role, Chrysalis will be the queen of Crystal Empire and Trixie will be the queen of Canterlot. Nightmare Moon will rule the whole Equestria herself." Discord said.

"So, though within this chaos, you even did not achieve to get the highest rank? And still need a pony to rule Equestria?" Scootaloo asked and laughed. She winked at the others and they all laughed together. Discord got mad but he did not say anything. He stopped and let them go.

"You are not going to take us to cells? Why?" Apple Bloom asked.

"If you still want I can?" Discord said. "The truth is, I do not want that mare to rule my kingdom and go on so try to save your friends. So that both sides will win. And I will always win. They are at a cell which a secret path that is under one of the beds of the guards lead. Your sisters and friends, there is a hidden pathway going down, under a bed of one. If you tell I said and gave this information, I will be your first and worst nightmare. Now go on, and hurry. Nightmare Moon can be back at any time after she returns from Crystal Empire!" Discord said and disappeared. With Discord's words, all three ponies rushed to the Canterlot Entrance. There were bat pony guards, instead of royal guards. They saw royal guards fighting with the bat ponies. Cutie mark crusaders tried to enter to the guards' restroom to search under the beds.

They searched more bed than fifty, but they could not even find any. Soon, they noticed another room, which led to the assistant captain's room, Flash Sentry. Under his bed, there was a pathway. When they were about to enter down, they heard some bugle horn. They were hard to hear anything but some cheers and boos. "Ladies and gentlemen, queen of Equestria, Nightmare Moon!" some bat pony introduced her. All three fillies looked at the window and saw Nightmare Moon. Nightmare Moon looked at the window and with a rush they leaned down. Luckily, she did not notice anything.

When each of the royal guard's of Celestia was making boo sounds "ENOUGH!" Nightmare Moon screamed and knocked her left front hoof down to the ground. It shook them a little. "Take them all to her princess then, they will regret and beg me to come back! Go on now!" she said.

"Where is Chrysalis?" Apple Bloom asked.

"Why you want more trouble? Of course, she is not here... Queen of Crystal Empire remember?" Sweetie Belle said and rolled her eyes. Even saying it was totally disturbing and disgusting. When Nightmare Moon started to walk into the castle, the royal guards were about to taken to their cells. So all three jumped down and walked the pathway.

Nightmare Moon came to the room. It was empty. However, she saw that someone found out the secret pathway. The bed was not fixed and was pushed to the left side to be opened for. "Rush everypony! This can be a danger! Find those traitors! Nobody can betray their Princess!" she said. "And I will be doing the Winter Moon Celebration from now on! Let the eternal night begin!" she said and laughed. She lowered the sun and raised the moon with a cast of magic with her horn. Guards started to rush to the hidden room, to search for them.

There were torches in the hidden room and yet, they could see many cells. Each cell had one pony or two. They started to walk one of them and saw Rarity. "Rarity!" Sweetie Belle screamed. "It is me, sister!". Rarity opened her eyes, she tried to came but then fell. She just tried to smile calmly.

"I-I am so thirsty and hung-hungry." Rarity said and closed her eyes. Sweetie Belle screamed 'NO!' but then they heard some trotting sounds coming from the upstairs. Scootaloo grabbed her and Apple Bloom and hid behind a pillar. Nightmare Moon walked in. She got mad and yelled.

"How can you lose the track? How can you not find even a pony?" Nightmare Moon asked. There was a laugh behind. Someone occurred in front of Nightmare Moon.

"A princess who fell to darkness... Trying to take over the things that I provided? Is it even possible?" said someone. "I must confess, you enslave ponies well, but no one can escape from my cell!" someone continued. It sounded like a stallion. It teleported in front of Nightmare Moon and cast a spell and punched Nightmare Moon to the wall. All the bat guards started to attack but with another blast spell, the stallion made them fall. "You must defend yourself better and much more careful princess..."

"How can not you invite me to your tea party, Nightmare Moon?" King Sombra asked. His shadows tied all the other bat ponies. It was only him and Nightmare Moon now. Nightmare Moon stood up. "You have never changed Nightmare Moon, since the time my darkness provided you to turn into this. You owe me! You owe me everything!" he yelled.

"I must say, you are full of surprises. Yet, you are late. The every step you take and your foot touches belong to mine King! Let's begin this again shall we?" Nightmare Moon said and cast a spell. Sombra cast another spell and they started to fight. Nightmare Moon laughed. "I should have guessed the intruder was you. You serious? A unicorn versus an alicorn? I doubt it!" she said and laughed and cast another spell. While they were fighting, Scootaloo grabbed the keys from the guard who was tied. The guard screamed and noticed Scootaloo. Nightmare Moon saw her. Scootaloo and her friends tossed each other the keys while Nightmare Moon was chasing them. Scootaloo for the last time threw the keys to Sweetie Belle and she opened the gate of Celestia. Celestia flew out. She was weak, but still she had power. She cast a spell on them both and stopped them. Sweetie Belle tossed the keys to Apple Bloom to save her friends.

"Quick, I can't hold them forever! Save the elements of harmony!" Celestia cried out.

"No, no! I must say, I can not let you do that." Queen Chrysalis came in front of Apple Bloom and her army blocked everywhere and surrounded them. Chrysalis cast a spell and Sweetie Belle saw it was coming to Princess Celestia, so she tried a counter spell. Though, Chrysalis' spell crashed it away and hit Celestia. Celestia fainted. Nightmare Moon and Sombra fell down. Chrysalis ordered and with her army she put Sombra to jail. Cutie mark crusaders started to sneak out and run but they got chased. Apple Bloom fell and Chrysalis caught her. The other two was trying their best to rush. They hid themselves to a corner street and got rid of the army.

"We need to save Apple Bloom!" said Sweetie Belle.,

"We will! We will save her!" Scootaloo said and behind a wall looked at the castle once again. A tear dropped from one of Scootaloo's eyes.
