The Mane 6 get involved

"Wake up Twilight, there's an urgent message from the Princess!" Spike's call broke through the fog in Twilight's mind.

"A message from Princess Celestia! What is it Spike, what?" Twilight cried leaping up in shock!

"Calm down, Twi, it's from Princess Cadance, not Princess Celestia. Don't worry." Spike read the message.

"Oh my goodness. Twilight, read this, NOW!"

"What is it Spike?" Twilight read the message. It went like this:

***

Dear Princess Twilight,

I am truly very sorry to tell you the devastating news. Tell only your friends, and only Rarity, Pinkie Pie, Rainbow Dash, Fluttershy and Applejack. Make them swear not to tell ANYBODY about this.

You are probably wondering why there is so much secrecy. In fact, if the news got out, every single villain and threat to Equestria will be upon us by the thousands. The reason is this.

Princess Celestia is dead. Princess Luna is missing, presumed dead.

It is because of this news that I ask you to travel to the crystal empire at once. It is urgent. We must think of a way to prevent absolute disaster.

From,

Princess Cadance

Prologue

Her Royal Highness Princess Celestia woke to a shadow standing over her. She leaped up, but the shadow waved it's horn and green magic pushed her down.

"W-w-who are you? Please, show y-y-yourself!" stuttered Celestia

"I suppose I must have a name. How about, Verdant. Verdant Growth.  My childhood name. Fare-thee-well Celestia, or should I say, Tia." The figure, Verdant Growth smiled at Celestia.

"Verdy? Verdant Is it really you? Please, say it's you!" Celestia was urgent now.

"No.I am not really "Verdy" anymore. I am Nature's Wrath. But, Tia, I still remember you. Wait, no.

NO

NOOOOOOOO"

Verdant thrust her horn through Celestia's body, opened wings and flew off.

Celestia tried to scream, to yell, to warn her sister, her little Luna of the alicorn that a few hours ago she would have sworn was dead.
