Fillydelphia, Iveington locomotive works

5:00AM

Early morning hit in Fillydelphia, and at the Iveington locomotive works, a newly built 4-4-2 steam locomotive was going through final preperations. The engine was beautiful, with a shiney red paint scheme, chrome and brass trim, a golden bell, and two equestrain flags in the front. It was a magnifacent.

"Well I think this engine is about ready to begin her first run" said one of the workers.

"I argree, and the passenger cars are ready too" said another.

"Well what are we waiting for? Let get this locomotive going!" Another shouted?

Soon the engine was steam up and rolled out of the shops.

"wooooh! wooooooooh!"

The clicking of the drivers and the squeek of the wheels. The locomotive was running smoothly.

Location Unkown

Somewhere in Equestria, a group of changelings creating an evil plot. Up above the room is a silowete of a reformed changeling. You now who I mean, it was none other than Thorax.

"Thorax and his freinds had taken our hive and turn the rest of the hive against us. We were lucky to get out of there before the transformationwas complete. Not to mention when eqeustria's famous icons were freed" one was explaned.

"And we're just a fraction of the of the original Changelings. What are we going to do?"

"WHAT ARE WE DOING HERE?!" Growled a fimliar female vioce. "WE USED TO BE A POWERFUL, LOVE DEVOURING, CREATURES THAT WERE FEARED ACROSS EQUESTRIA!"

"It's Chrystalis," Thorax said quietly

"RAIDING CANTORLOT DIDN'T WORK! FOULNAPPING PRINCESSES AND THE ELEMTENTS OF HARMONY DIDN'T WORK!! ARE HOME IS TAKEN BY THORAX!!" In the middle of her sentance, she put her hoof over chest were heart is(if she has one) and grunting in pain.

"Are you alright my queen?" One of her gaurds asked running up to her.

"I'm fine"

"We're really worried for you Chrystalis. Your condition is getting worse."

"I'll be alright. Just does any one have any ideas?" She asked

"I have may a solution to your problem"

Everypony turn to the source of the male voice. A tall unicorn stalion who was wearing a buissness suit.

"What do you want Tezren?" Chryslis demanded.

"I wan't the same thing you wan't, and I can halp you with that" Tezren explained. "I have some intel you can use to defeat the Elements. There is a new train coming out and my sources tell me that they will be on board."

"So...?"

"So if you want to rule Equestria. You need to take them out....  Permently." Crystalis was shocked at what he said. But she understood what he ment snd she gave him a devilish smile.

"Yes and when we get rid of the elements, we can get rid of the other princesses, and overthrow that trader. And then we will be unstoppable. We will rule equestria, we will rule the crystal empire, we will rule the WORLD!!!"

'Oh no!' Thorax thought. 'I have to warn Twilight and her friends"

He then ran off to Ponyville.
