Twilight and her friends walked into the throne room, their spirits high. They had just defeated the strange creature that had invaded the Crystal Empire, and they were excited to share their new with Princess Celestia. As they walked in, their smiles faded as they saw Celestia with a grave look on her face. She held two scrolls in her magic, and was reading them over and over again. She soon noticed the group come in and laid the two scrolls on the floor in front of her.

"Princess," said Twilight, breaking the silence. "We successfully drove out the strange creatures that were attacking the Crystal Empire." A glimmer of relief shined on Celestia's face, before being replaced by a look of fear.

"I am afraid that that invasion was just the beginning," she said. "It seems like more strange creatures have been appearing in Equestria." There was a collective gasp from the group, before she continued. "There have been reports of bug-like creatures in Appleoosa and Manehattan. Surprisingly, there are two types of them, and only one type appears in each area."

"Appleoosa's being attacked!?" said Applejack, fear creeping into her voice. "I hope that Braeburn and the others are alright."

"And I hope that my boutique in Manehattan is still standing!" said Rarity, which resulted in glares from the others. "Oh, uh, and all of the ponies living there of course."

Twilight sighed and applied a hoof to her face, before turning towards her mentor.

"Don't worry Princess," she said. "We'll take care of it. We'll split up so we can get this done faster."

"Um, Twilight?" Starlight asked, walking up to her. "Is it alright if I stay here? Princess Celestia might need help tracking the creatures if more show up."

"That sounds like a great Idea, Starlight," said Twilight. She then turned to the rest of her friends. "Alright. Applejack, Rainbow Dash, Pinkie, you three head to Appleoosa. The rest of you, you'll go to Manehattan with me. Hopefully we can stop these invasions before too much damage is done."

"Well, then I wish you all good luck on your journey," said Celestia. "Starlight and I will try and see if any more of these Creatures have come into our world. In the meantime, you six drive out the two creatures that we have just discovered."

"We won't let you down Princess," said Twilight. "Come on, girls. Let's go." The six then hurried out of the castle, before splitting up to go to their respective places.


Lusamine stood in front of two portals, watching the destruction below her. Behind her, Guzma sat on a nearby rock, not knowing what to make of what he was seeing.

"Man, she really had gone nuts..," he said to himself. "Why did I even follow her?" He got up from his seat and walked towards the woman, before standing next to her. Lusamine didn't turn towards him, but she knew he was there.

"Isn't it beautiful, Guzma?" she said calmly. "My children are paving the way to our future. Soon, we will live in a world with no worries, where we will never be ridiculed for what we do or who we are." She closed her eyes, imagining her ideal world. "This is the world we were meant to be in, Guzma, and I'm not going to let anyone take it away from us."

Guzma stayed silent, watching the portals. In one of them, a big, muscular, red bug was tearing up trees and destroying buildings. In the other, a slim, white bug was kicking buildings and making them crack. Guzma looked in horror. Never before had he seen such destruction, and unlike the destruction that he caused, he didn't like it. Lusamine opened her eyes and look to the portals again, but her smile faded into a frown.

"So they did come..," she said quietly, anger rising into her voice. "The ones who hurt my child.. No matter. Now that they are seperated, they will be weaker than before." The portals zoomed in on the groups of ponies. Suddenly, Lusamine gasped. In the portal that showed the city, there was a yellow pegasus mare with a pink mane, and in her mane was a creature that Lusamine thought she would never see again.

"A Cosmog..," she said quietly. A small smile formed on her face. "If I can get my hands on it, I can send the rest of my children to that world." She turned from the portals and spoke to Guzma. "Guzma, bring me one of the electric beasts," she said. "I think I may have just found out how to take over this world."

"O-of course, Lusamine!" he said and hurried off. Lusamine smiled and, after looking at the portals one more time, left the room.
