As Twilight sped to the guards to tell them something was horribly wrong she ran into none other than the Princess of the Night which due to the earlier happenings didn't even blip on her radar.

"Twilight, what art thou doing in such a panic, we merely came to see the first hoof what was reported of mister Jon," Luna explained as she chased after Twilight.

"It's true, he's dead but someone else isn't!" Twilight nearly screamed.

"Who art tho-"

"Sketch is back! Somehow Mocha used his dying words to warn me about him or something I don't know and I need to get the guards who found him to come with me, it's urgent!"

"Calm down, we are here with you, we will aid you in this endeavor Ms. Sparkle, but what gives him his credibility to this claim? We all saw what remained of the poor man."

"Why would he say that if it weren't true, he isn't one to lie, especially on his deathbed." Twilight reasoned.

"Ah, well I am more concerned with something else."

"What could be worse than this?"

"What could've brought him back this discretely and quickly?" This caused Twilight to stop and go wide-eyed for a second...

Anoither version of him did something similar to...HE BETTER NOT HAVE!

"Discord!" Twilight shouted into the night only for a large rubber ducky to appear in front of her and pop to reveal discord apparently had just gotten out of his bath.

"Twilight, why are you shouting at this time of night? I was relaxing in my bath." Discord said in a whiny tone as he tried to look saddened by his shortened bath time.

"Answer this now, no funny business, what did you do with Sketch?" She asked looking him dead in the eye.

"Why, did someone graffiti his grave? That's so no-"

"Not his grave, him!"

"Uhhhh, Twilight, I don't know what you think I've been up to lately but resurrecting people isn't one of them-"

"Then this just got a whole lot worse!" Twilight replied now fully freaking the hay out.

"Something dug him up didn't they?" He asked no in a serious tone despite his butter yellow pajamas and pink sleeping hat.

"Yes!"

"Well, if you suddenly came back to life after death where would you go?"

"To see my loved ones," Luna answered immediately.

"Oh no, Spike!" Twilight cried as she bolted back towards her castle only to find footsteps leading back to it and it looked like whoever it was dragged something along with them. When they all got to the castle they heard sobbing from the front steps, it was a mare.

"Ms.?! Are you okay, please come out we need to speak to you immediately it isn't safe here!"

"Princess! Please, help Sketch!" She cried from within, none of the lights on so no one could see who it was but it was not someone from Ponyville to Twilight's knowledge.

"Sketch?!" Without hesitation Twilight bolted into the front room, seconds after entering her eyes began to adjust and she saw something kneeling over something, Twilight lit her horn to see who this was and she almost couldn't comprehend what she saw, a light orange unicorn mare in armor kneeling over the charred but living remains of what she could barely make out as Sketch's body. Luna and discord followed and later did many guards, the bipedal mare was taken in for questioning and Sketch was rushed to the hospital, something was going on and Luna and Twilight didn't understand any of it and Discord for once was silent. As the mare was taken in Twilight noticed her armor was a bipedal variant of the royal guards Celestia commanded in her royal Canterlot guard but Luna couldn't place somepony with the name May Weather, let alone a bipedal one, Twilight only knew one thing about this, it was going to be a long night.
