“TWILIGHT!” screamed Fluttershy as she was sent through the black twisted portal.
“FLUTTERSHY!” screamed the other five ponies in the room trying desperately to grab their friend as she was forcibly sent through the black twisting portal.
Fluttershy with tears streaming down her face was able to utter to her friends before being absorbed by the portal.
“Help me Twilight!”
Twilight suddenly awoke from her nightmare with a gasp and a hoof in the air trying to reach out for a yellow hoof that was not there. She looked around trying to find if it and slowly realizing that she was laying in her bed. Raising her hooves to her face, Twilight Sparkle cried herself back to sleep once again blaming herself for the death of friend Fluttershy.
5 YEAR AFTER THE ACCIDENT
Princess Celestia stood on her balcony staring across Equestia observing all her little ponies waking up to start their days.
“They have arrived, Celestia.” Said a feminine voice behind Celestia. Celestia turned her neck and saw her sister standing by the door leading into her chambers giving Celestia.
“Thank you, my sister. Has it really already been a year since the…incident?” Celestia said in a neutral tone looking off in to the distance.
Luna's face turned somber for a moment, before resuming her usual flat appearance. “Yes sister, it has been a year since the... incident with the element barrier and we...I mean, I have been checking up on the other elements dreams as you suggested. Making their dreams a bit easier to handle, but your apprentice Twilight still thinks it’s her fault for the accident involving Fluttershy.”
“Yes, I know.” Muttered Celestia with her neutral tone failing and to be replaced by a sadden tone.
“Well, we should greet them together, shouldn’t we?”
“Yes, Luna lets go and she isn't my student or apprentice anymore, but it is nice to see you slowly getting more and more used to the common language that are little ponies speak with in this day and age.” Celestia chuckled while walking to the door. Luna gave her a small frown and softly nudged her with her shoulder as she went past.
The two sisters departed to greet the ponies waiting for them, neither seeing the spark in the air flash right where Celestia was standing before.
“Greetings my Little Ponies.” Celestia with a smile looking down at the small group before her.
The five standing before her and Luna consisted of a pink earth pony named Pinkie pie; an orange earth pony named Applejack; a white unicorn named Rarity; a blue pegasus named Rainbowdash; and a purple alicorn named Twilight Sparkle; Each one holding a smile on there faces once seeing the princess's, but eyes full of sadness.
“Today, we hold a memorial for one of our dear friends that had vanished from us five years ago today.”
Everyone dropped their smile and a certain purple pony proceeds to cry into the shoulder of Rarity.
“Yes, it is a sad day indeed. But there is always hope for the future.” Stated Celestia
Each one looked at her with a puzzled look until she spoke again.
“There is still hope that the Element of Kindness will return. We have are best unicorns on the job looking for Fluttershy, as well as other help from a different sort." Celestia says while looking to the arches above the throne room, where a certain draconequus laid with a expression of sorrow as well tears of Strawberry Milk, "but sadly they have not found any trace of her.” The group wilted at the news Celestia presented before being spooked by Celestia stamping her hoof to the tile floor.
“But does that mean we have the right to give up hope. No!” Celestia yelled stomping her hoof again.
“That gives us the right to try harder until we find her.” Celestia said with a look of determination on her face while smiling to the group.
Everyone visible brightened up a bit to her saying that and Sparkle even stopped crying and adorned a small smile.
Celestia was about to say more when a loud noise sounded above the thrones. Everyone turned and looked and saw the universe itself splitting open a crack in the air and wind rushed through.
“GET BEHIND ME MY PONIES!” yelled Celestia while Luna who was standing next to her turned around with her sister and got ready or whatever came through the portal. What came through now one would have guest. What resembled a manticore but with a tentacle instead of a scorpion tail and six legs instead of four. Along with having a face that would have made the likes of King Sombra to run in fear, but the most menacing thing about it was the blood and chunks of missing flesh that caked its body like a cloak.
The monster came running through the portal with what looked like fear across its face. Once it saw the others though it stopped in its tracks and gave them a look of hunger, before it slowly crept up on them. The princess horns already glowing with magical energy, were about to blast the abomination back from once it came, but before they could do anything a loud bang went off and where the monsters head used to be, was simple gone from the neck down. Well gone from its supposed shoulders to be exact and now was splatted all across the Princesses and others. Each one stood there with a look of pure horror as they looked upon the beast that had stood before them now lying on the ground with its blood flowing out of it.
“BOOM HEADSHOT!”
The group looked back at the portal and saw a pony with a black armor and a helmet that had a yellow horn coming out the top of it. The pony also had an L- shaped Object with them floating up in the air with magic. It also had two bags strapped across it back right where their cutie mark would reside.
“Mother fucking Frank owes me five billets for this fat ass bag I just got.” The pony said with a demented giggle.
The group just stood there shocked at seeing such brutality from a pony only for it to laugh at its demise.
Another being jumped out of the portal landing next to the beast. It appeared to be a small foal with black fur and a silver mane; siting up through its main you could see a jagged unicorn horn that look like it was broken off with a blunt object leaving it close to more a stump then anything with sharp edge.
“Ouch, That must have hurt like a bitch.”
“SPARK WHAT DID I TELL YOU ABOUT CUSSING!” said the mysterious pony
The foal looked at the pony and said with an annoyed tone and eye roll and spout out answer as though it was a well-rehearsed line “Only use it when in dire need or when super excited about something.”
“Correct, now was that moment a time to do it.” the unicorn said while slowly moving toward the foal and place there 'weapon?' back in their saddle bags.
“No” said the foal looking down frowning and rubbing his two front hooves together.
“Good, now then will you please use the knives and cut off the things tail off so it won’t regenerate later?”
The foal seemed to perk up at this and pulled out a box that was in a bag attached to the foals back, yet looking like less of a bag and more of a small miniature chest. The foal opened the box with the broken horn that was on his head he looked up and spotted the group.
“Mom, stranger danger.” He said while pointing at the group. The Mysterious pony looked at the group of Ponies standing across the throne room with a quickness as fast as one of Rainbow Dash's Rainbooms.
"Girls?" The Figure gasped in both wonder and sorrow.
The princess looked shocked at pony clearly knowing and Luna was the one who first to recover while Celestia was quickly catching up.
“Who are you Creature and do not attempt to lie to myself or my sister, or there will be deadly consequences." Luna yelled from across the room, almost hitting in the Royal Canterlot Voice decibel.
The pony clearly looked taken back proceeded to start taking off their helmet with what looked like great difficulty. “Well, I know it’s only been ten years, but come on you must remember me. Although, the horn is a new attachment I roughly got nine years ago.”
Celestia spoke this time and declared with a serious tone of voice “I do not know you. Now will you please state why you are here again, before my sister and I will have to have to deal with you forcefully?” Both Celestia and Luna's eyes started to glow with the amount of magic that was now being pushed through there horns.
The ponies chuckled and muttered “Well, I thought my own Princess would recognize me from my voice alone, but it looks like I must remove this rust bucket for you to get it through your memory of me.”
The pony used its hooves to unlatch a latch on the sides of the helmet that was hidden from view and slowly pulled it off.
Once the helmet was off the first thing anyone saw was the pink long hair that flowed naturally down the side of the face the pony, covering one eye. The next they saw was the yellow fur that had small amount of what looked like dried blood near the neck area.
The pony gave them a small smile and tiled head “Well is this any better Princesses?”
They all stood shell shocked from seeing the mysterious pony, because standing before them alive and relatively whole, was there year long missing friend Fluttershy.
No one spoke for about a full minute trying to get their bearing back. It would have lasted longer if the noise of a sickening slice and thump did not shock them from their stupor. The group looked over at the black foal to see him covered in blood with a knife in his mouth and the bloodied 'tail?' next to him.
He then looked at Fluttershy with a smile, with the blooded blade still in his mouth, and mumbled with excitement “All done mom!”.
