Full Metal Pony

Twilight had finishged her explanation of her dream last night, and the look on Luna's face stopped her blood cold. "Twilight, i dont know how, exactly, this is possible, but it IS true. Now, you muct be careful witht his information, do you understand me?" she asked sternly, looking dead at Twilight." She nodded in agreement, and hopped off the bed. "Well, im gonna go get some breakfast... Luna?" Twilight asked, in a rather shy voice for her standards. "Yes? What is it, dear?" she asked walking towards the door. "Do you know when we'll be sent back out? You know, to take up som espionage missions. You know that's what we were trained for, right?" She asked. Luna gave a small chuckle, and looked up at Twilight, smiling. "YEs, I happen to know that. You will be sent back out eventually, but im having you all special battle suits made. It was one of Celestia's wants, but she never got to after your weapons. They are going to be specially made for your abilities, anhd when you receive them there should be something for you all." Luna said, using a spell to open the door. "Now, you go on with your freinds. Keep your mind occupied. Im giving you a three-day pass to go to Ponyville for a short stay, you all deserve it." Luna said, dissapearing down the hall. Twilight stopped for a moment and thought of her freinds in Ponyville. Not many, but she would spend some time with the ones she had. And there were her old freinds, all of which would be happy to know they were going home for a few days, to finally relax and (hopefully) clear their minds.

Twilight walked into the mess hall, and grabbed her tray. As soon as she set her tray down, and slop of gristled grey much, which looked like something a prehistoric flying beast would build a nest out of. She got her tray of mush and found the table her freinds were sitting at. Rarity was still wearing her vest, which seemed unusual to Twilight, but it didnt matter at the moment. She had the good news to deliver. "Good morning girls, how are we all today?" Twilight asked in the perkiest voice she could muster. She received looks of restless nights and sore eyes. "Well, Luna knew we were all going to feel like this, so I have news to deliver. We are scheduled to go back home to Ponyville for three days." she said giving a light smile. The table perked up a bit and some chatter about what one would do when they got back home filled the rest of the morning, and they were packed and sent off by midafternoon.

Scootaloo was riding her scooter from Sweet Apple acres, where she had played with Applejack for a bit, and was headed to seek some new adventure for her cutie mark. Then an object darting across the sky caught her eye. SHe stopped her scooter and looked up, focusing in as well as she could. She saw it was horse-drawn, so a chariot of some sort. SHe could only imagine what was inside it, or who. It seemed to be making a landing here, and she knew right where it would: Town center, the largest open area in Ponyville next to Sweet Apple Acres. So she kicked off and rced dowjn the hill to the town center, eager to see what awaited Ponyville. The chariot landed with a thud, and about the same time Scootaloo pulled up, panting from buzzing her wongs behind her, getting that extra push she needed. But her tiredness seemed to leave her body, washed away by a river of hope, seeing all those familiar faces step out of the chariot. wilight, Rarity, Applejack, FLuttershy, Pinkie, and... Rainbow Dash. Her hero, returning from military service. Wearing her uniform, Scootaloo called out her name, and git ehr attention rather quickly. She walked up to Scootaloo, who gave Dasha hug. "Im so happy your home, i've been working on my flying and i's a lot better!" she exclaimed, a giant smile on her face. By this time, Applebloom and Sweetie belle had come down to see the commotion. Applebloom instantly saw the orange coat of her older sister, and ran towards her, tackling her to the ground. Sweetie belle ran up to Rarity and squeesed her tight. And even non family members strolled up and chatted, and all of Ponyville was happy.

Rainbow Dash was dropping Scootaloo off from hanging out with her to the Apple's house, and had turned around to go to her cloud manor, whena d ark figure caught her eye, zooming through the sky. Dash bering Dash, she took off after it, intent on knowing what it was. She guessed five thousand feet..... four thousand.... three thousand.... two thousand.... one thousand... By now she could clearly make it out: A lone changeling over the Ponyville night sky. But where there's one scouting ahead, the is a fleet in tow, laying waste to anything avnd everything in their way. She flew down to Twilights house, and as soon as she stepped in, she heard the faint sound of hundreds of wings, flapping simultaniously. the sound that brought their hearts to a stop days earlier, and it was getting closer.

Closer to their freinds, their families.

Closer to the defenceless town of Ponyville.

And there wasn't a thing anypony could do to stop them
