"Move! Move!" Called Princess Celestia as: Twilight, Pinkie Pie, Rarity, Fluttershy, Applejack and Rainbow dash runned as fast as their hooves allowed them to. Celestia openned a secret entrance to a room inknown to every pony. The six friends walked inside surprised by what they saw in front of them. Six cocoon-like capsules, made out of iron and covered in gems were hanging from the low celling.
"Princess, what is this place?" asked Twilight, she was tired of running so much. Princess Celestia remained quiet. Two guards entered the room. One was injured an the other one had lost his helmet. "Princess, your sister is waiting for you." Said one of them. Celestia looked at the distance, Equestria was about to face its destruction. First, the Changeling invasion, then a terrible flood and now Dragons. She turned back to the elements of Harmony, she looked devastated.
"This capsules are sleep chambers, once a pony goes inside he or she will fall into a deep sleep that will last as long as the capsule is closed" She stopped for a moment "I want you all six to go inside". They all stared at her for whhat seemed an eternity. The Princess said nothing, she just pointed at the capsules with her hoof. "Now". All of them except for Twilight went to the capsules to inspect them. Twilight looked up to her teacher, she looked tired. "Princess, I dont want to... What will happen to you? When will we wake up?" Celestia gently placed a hoof over her students mouth "Ill be fine Twilight and don`t worry, the capsules will when the time comes. Equestria might fall but it can be rebuilt. You on the other hoof can´t be replaced. I must keep you and the elements of Harmony safe from all danger".
"Princess..." Twilight was not able to finish her sentence the ground began to shake violently. Celestia used her magic to get the six friends inside the capsules and then she locked them.
"Gool luck my little ponies" She said before exiting the room locking the door behind her. Canterlot was little more than ruins now, it had been thousands of years since she had seen something like this. Not even Discord had caused so much chaos. The princess made her way to the courtyard were Luna was waiting for her. "Ready sister?" asked Luna as her horn began to glow. Celestia nodded and began to prepare her spell. Their spell began to gain more and more power. Even under the sunlight the powerful light the sisters produced was clearly visible from a distance. A flash of light covered the land ans the energy explosion grew devastating everything in its path. Instead of giving up Canterlot the two princesess decided to destroy it completley, hour before they had evacuated every pony in the city. Canterlot was no more, Ponyville was now underwater and Cloudsdale lay in ruins. Equestria had seen its last sunrise.
It was dark inside the capsule, Rarity was the first to wake up, slowly she opened her eyes. She could hear a distant rumble in the distance. The capsule beeped three times and then it opened and Rarity fell from the capsule and landed in a soft floor. She lighted up the room with her magic, it looked deteriorated, the paint of the walls had fallen off and the floor was moist and smelled like something had rotten a long time ago. Rarity could still see the door. Three beeps came from another capsule. Applejack fell to the ground.
"Who had the idea of placin' this things up there" Said Appleack as she stood up, Rarity was looking at her. "Applejack have you not noticer where we are? Look at this room!".
"Ah Rarity, ya always lookin' at the small details, Can we focus on how to get outta here?" As the minutes passed, the others began to wake up and fall off their capules. Fluttershy was the last to wake up. She looked so weak Rainbow had to help her get up.
"Ok, what now?" Said Rainbow "We can´t stay in this room forever."
"Yes, we can´t, but we dont know what is at the other side of this door." Said Twilight aproaching the door. and putting her ear against the door "I don´t hear anything, its safe to go ou-"
A cannonball hit the door breaking it into pieces and sent Twilight flying into a wall. "TWILIGHT!" screamed all her friends, they could hear cannons firing outside Applejack stepped out of the room. What she saw shocked her: They were no longer in canterlot, a gigantic ocean covered everything in front of them. And two ships where engaged in combat, cannons fired in many directions one cannonball hit near Applejack forcing her to jump out of the way. She took a closer look at the ships. One of the ponies in the bigger ship spotted her and yelled something at one of his comrades. The other ship began to sink and the big ship began to aproach the small island. Applejack went down to the room.
"We can go out now" Applejack looked behind her, Ponies in boats where aproaching. "Applejack, are you sure they are friendly?" asked Twilight. They all turned to look at the convoy of boats aproaching. Before reaching the shore some ponies jumped into the water, holding their swords either with magic or their mouths. "Every pony, stand back" Ordered Rainbow Dash, Applejack went to her side. They could now see the ponies clearly: Pirate Ponies. One of them a dark bloe unicorn stallion with a red bandana approached, he had a fierce look. "You two are brave mares, standing up against pirates" He levitated both Applejack and Rainbow with his magic to the other pirate ponies behind him. The held them firmly. The Unicorn approached with a disturbing calm.
"And who do you think you are?!" sceamed Pinkie standing in front of the imposing unicorn "We haven`t done anything for you to frighten us like this!"
"I am just following orders pink mare. Now, come with us to the ship. The Capitan ordered me to get all of you on board" He took his sword with his magic "Now"
