"So ... they have not found anything yet?" Applejack asks the group.

"No, we haven't found anything, and it's been a good few hours already" Star says in a tone of annoyance.

"At this rate, I don't think we'll find anything" Rarity says to the group.

"That's the thing, Rarity, we're not going to find anything if we just sit here and do nothing" comments Rainbow.

They had already spent their good hours the six mares looking for who could be the pony that had a problem of friendship in the castle, they asked the guards, recurring visitors and other ponies in the place, but couldn't find anything, the girls meet up in the room of the map and they separated more than once, they registered every corner of the castle, every corner of the same, under each table, in every room, even in the rooms that normally were not of public access, until finally they reunited in the map room, frustration was a common factor in these situations and it was about to make them discuss, while Rainbow, Starlight and Pinkie wanted to keep searching, Applejack, Rarity and Fluttershy thought there was not reason for it.

"We haven't been able to find anything at all for a few hours, Rainbow, I don't think we're going to find anything, no matter how hard we look" says Fluttershy.

"I have to agree with her, perhaps the problem is not a friendship problem, the map not only sends us to solve friendship problems, the first time we were sent to the village of Starlight to stop her, perhaps we have to stop someone in this castle before they do something bad"suggests Applejack.

"But what if it's something serious? It has already happen with Chrysalis once, we lowered the guard and she managed to capture us, we can't ignore a possible threat under our own hoofs"says Starlight to the group.

"True, there could be a new villain, or Chrysalis herself, or an evil sect, or Nightmare Moon, or Discord, or who knows what else!"Screams Pinkie altered to the group.

"Exactly, we have to keep looking, if necessary to get everyone out of the castle to see if our cutie marks change places with the pony responsible for this" says Rainbow

"Whatever the problem of the castle is, it's going to have to wait" says Twilight entering the room.

"Twilight. Why did Celestia wanted you to go to Canterlot? Is something serious going on?"asks Starlight worried to Twilight.

"Yes, something very serious" says Twilight sitting in her chair around the map "Girls, we have a new enemy in our hoofs" says Twilight to the group.

"I knew there must be a new threat, I knew!" Rainbow says triumphantly.

"We do not know much about him, but we know he can take the magic out of the ponies" Twilight says, getting a few reactions from the present ones, some of fear, some of surprise, one of uncertainty and nerves.

"They're going to DESTROY EVERYONE!"Screams Pinkie runing out of the room at full speed.

"I'm going for her ..." says Applejack leaving the room after Pinkie

"Someone able to take away the magic from the ponies? Are you talking about Tirek, honey? "Rarity asks.

"Ugh, Tirek ..." Star complains.

"Do you know him?"

"Yes, I've had a couple of meetings with him ..."

"It's not Tirek, I asked and apparently Tirek is in his prison in Tartarus ... whoever is doing this is quite possibly a pony, specifically a unicorn" Twilight responds, surprising the group.

"Wait a second ... how can a pony remove magic from another pony?" Rarity asks confused.

"Well, if Starlight was able to create a spell to take away the special talent from the ponies ... it is possible that someone could develop a spell to take away the magic of other ponies" Spike says.

"That's true ... one moment, you said that you met Tirek ... Have you traveled toTartarus?" Rainbow asks suspecting Star.

"No, he appeared in my village and took the magic of everyone, including my magic, it was not until a couple of hours later that the magic returned to me and my inhabitants thanks to you"says Starlight with a slight smile to the girls.

"Oh ... I see ... that's fine" Fluttershy says quietly.

"But you said 'A couple of times' What were the other occasions?" Rainbow asks, pinning Starlight to a wall.

"Rainbow, I think that's enough," Rarity says to this one.

"Why? I'm just asking you important questions related to the topic"

"You're pushing her against the wall and questioning her as if it was her fault" Fluttershy says.

"Yes, besides. Why the doubt with me? Didnt I have´earn your trust after saving you from Chrysalis? "Star asks Rainbow.

"It's true, if it wasn't for Star, we might not be here at the moment, he has gained our confidence by actions and is innocent until he proves otherwise" Spike says with a big smile.

"Well, I think it's okay ... but I'll be watching you ..." Rainbow says distrusting Starlight

"As you wish, Dash, as you wish," Starlight replies quietly.

"Anyway, we have to investigate about it, according to the report that the princess gave me, the victim who presented me is not the first, since a couple of ponies have been found without magic, but they were not given much importance because of the circumstances as they were found, some disappeared for several months without a trace until they were found, classified as a matter of importance rather than priority, the problem lies in the last victim whose magic was absorbed in a lapse of time of 15 minutes, it is not known if its magic was absorbed in that time span or if it was something instant, anyway, the drainage velocity caught the attention and changed to be a matter of priority" explains Twilight to the group.

"So ... a pony that can absorb magic ... that's easy, we just have to look for powerful ponies in the magic and the list will be reduced, right?" Spike asks.

"It's not so simple, Spike, the magic of a pony can not be measured by conventional methods, it has to be by someone who has a good knowledge of internal and external magic"

"I could do it" Star offers surprisingly.

"Do you know about the handling of internal and external magic?"

"Yes. How do you think I was capable of developing a spell capable of removing the cutie marks? The cutie marks are connected to the inner magic of a pony and to his special talent, the power to remove a cutie mark is basically to know to remove part of the inner magic of a pony, is not something that i'm very proud of, but if I can use it to help them in this case, it would be like mending the damage I did with the same tool I used in the first place"Star responds smiling.

"I think it's okay, so let's start putting working" Twilight says as she heads to the exit of the map room just to get Applejack and Pinkie peeking through it.

"Um, Twilight, we have a little situation," Applejack says to Twilight.

"What happen? Did you find the castle's problem?" Fluttershy asks.

"No, Pinkie here dosen't know when to keep her mouth shut and always exaggerates everything that happens, so she alerted the ponies that 'They were going to destroy us all' "

"I see ... Can you and Rainbow handle it? I have to get with Starlight to investigate on an efficient method to find the pony responsible for all of this"comments Twilight to both.

"Didn't we say she was going to track down all the ponies who were powerful users of magic?" Rainbow asks.

"Well ... I can do it, the problem is that it would take a lot of time that way ... we have to look for a similar but efficient method to detect the level of magic of a unicorn ... we will basically have to invent a capable artifact to read that level of magic so that the guards can do the magic scan" answers Starlight to Rainbow.

"Okay ... Applejack, let's calm the masses" Rainbow says determinedly to Applejack.

"Oh, Oh, can I help, Can i help?" Pinkie asks.

"I think you've done enough scaring all the ponies ..." Applejack says while Pinkie shows an expression of disappointment and sadness.

"Come Pinkie Why do not we cook something rich for all of us? I'm sure that when Star and Twilight finish what they have to do just like Applejack and Rainbow they're going to be very hungry. Will you help us, Rarity? "Fluttershy asks.

"I'm afraid not, honey, I have to do some things at the boutique right now," Rarity says, walking out of the room.

"Then it's just you and me ... well, let's cook something," says Fluttershy smiling to Pinkie.

***

"Erm ... Applejack, when you said a 'little situation' I thought you were talking about something small, not about this ..."says Rainbow dash watching the streets of Ponyville in complete chaos.

"I swore you it was small a few minutes ago ..." Applejack says, watching the ponies run in circles around the city.

"Okay, let's fix this, I'll take care of the disasters that the ponies make and I'll save those who get in the middle of those, you try to stop them" Rainbow orders, taking a flight to see Scootaloo from above, she was about To fall to the ground from a two store building.

"HELP!" Cried Scootaloo as her grip on the roof weakened until she fell. But the moment she started to fall, Rainbow caught her in the air and laid her gently on the floor.

"Are you okay?" Rainbow asks.

"Yeah, I was with Sweetie and Apple Bloom, but we were separated when a lot of ponies started to destroy everything in their path as they ran screaming 'They're going to destroy us all' "she says.

"Yes, I imagined ... How did you get up there?"

"The girls and I tried to reach the high ground to avoid the ponies, but we parted on the way"

"Well, come on" Rainbow says taking Scootaloo with Applejack. "Stay with Applejack, I'll find your friends" Rainbow says, taking flight again.

"Come on, we're going to take you somewhere safe" Applejack says, leading Scootaloo towards Twilight Castle.

"But what about my friends? I will not leave without them"insists the little pegasus.

"Mmm ... I think it's okay, if you're not going to take shelter, then help me stop the ponies"

"How do we do that?"

"It's simple enough ..."

***

"Well ... let's see ... if we place this magical reader here ... and adjust the parameters here ... we can measure the energy waves inside the ponies ... which translates to the magical potential of the same. Isn't it like this, Twilight?"Starlight asks.

"In theory it should work, but you are making the detector very sensitive to achieve it, which means that it will not work if there is some magic object or some spell in the proximity, we have to find out the range that affects it and for that we need another unicorn" responds Twilight.

"Uh ... it's all right, I'll go find Trixie to do this."

"Would not Rarity be any better?"

"Do you have any problems with Trixie?"

"Not really…"

"Then it will be her, if I find her, if not i will go for Rarity," Starlight says, peering out through the window. "Erm ... Twilight ... I think you should come and see this ..."

"Agh, I hope the chaos that Pinkie caused is not so ... SWEET CELESTIA! WHAT HAPPENED?"Wonder Twilight surprised watching the destroyed streets and some houses in flames.

"Erm, Twilight, we have a small situation"says Applejack peeking through the door of the room with scratches on her face.

"SMALL SITUATION?!"Ask Scootaloo with the burned mane.

"I can see, come on Star, let's stop this" says Twilight leaving the castle flying out the window to land on the ground, while Star was teleported to the streets of the village with Applejack and Scootaloo.

"I'll take care of the fire, you try to calm the ponies" says Star running to a burning house turning off the fire by making a large bucket of water appear on the top of it and turning it over, repeating that process with each house. Twilight on her part tried to control the ponies.

"Can you hear me a ...?" Twilight tries to say just so the pony will get past her.

"Could you calm down and..." The ponies continued to ignore her, at which point a pony ran past Star, hitting a pillar of a burning structure, collapsing it over Star.

"ENOUGH! "Scream Twilight using his magic to paralyze everyone in town.

"Aw ... I'm fine" Starlight says, coming out of the rubble with a few scratches.

"How can you...?"

"Remember, good handling of external and internal magic, you can't immobilize me or take me with magic.

"True ... now ALL THE PONIES ARE GOING TO CALM DOWN AND YOU'R ALL GOING TO REPAIR THE DAMAGE THAT WAS DONE AND THEN GO TO THE CASTLE TO AN ACLARATORY MEETING!"Explained Twilight receibing noods of approbal from the ponies "Good ... now ... get to work, you have a lot of work to do" says Twilight as the ponies begin to work together to put out the flames and repair the houses. "Well ... now ... let's look for Trixie or Rarity," says Twilight as she meets Starlight to find one of the two unicorns.

"Do you think things are okay now?" Star asks.

"Tehy should be, usually a call for attention of a princess is usually enough, but if things get back out of control I will have to contain them in an area so they do no more harm until the situation is explained, now let's go" says Twilight, exploring the streets of the damaged town followed by Starlight.

***

After a couple of hours the village was completely repaired, the ponies gathered in one of the conference rooms of the castle, there was some uncertainty among the ponies, but the atmosphere was relatively calm, at that time, both Twilight and Spike Entered the room, Twilight with a notes and Spike with a projector, which connected and prepared to use.

"Okay, now, surely all present should have their doubts about the rumor of a pony able to take the magic off the other ponies"Twilight begins his speech.

"Is that true?" Asks one of the public ponies.

"Yes," she replied, causing the ponies to start panicking and screaming.

"HE WILL REMOVE MAGIC TO EVERYONE!"

"WE CAN'T DO ANYTHING!"

"WE ARE DOOM!"

"Now, althoug it is true that a pony is being able to absorb the magic of other ponies, at the moment it's not doing so with innocent ponies"says Twilight To the group.

"What do you mean, innocent ponies?"

"This" Twilight says as Spike passed slides showing a pictures of the ponies without thei'r magic each one had a photo of his record next to each picture of the pony as a criminal. "Apparently he is only attacking ponies who have a serious criminal record, such as grand theft scale, kidnapping, among other things much worse"

"I stole a lolípop, HE'S GONNA GO AFTER ME!"

"I don't think a lollipop counts as a serious crime" Spike says aloud.

"Yes, so do not worry about it ponies, at the moment you don't have to worry since you have not attacked any innocent poni, but neither should we lower our guard, when a pony has such power and ability it is common to become corrupted, excess of power takes out the worst of us and we become something that we are not, that is why we must be attentive to who surrounds us, at the moment we only know that the pony has to be yes or yes a unicorn, the rest we know nothing, But that should be enough to give us an idea of how to handle the situation and find out, my student Starlight and I are working at the moment on a feasible method to detect the magic of an individual and thus reduce the list of suspects, until then do not panic, but do not lower you'r guard. Is that clear?"Twilight asks the crowd.

"Yes, princess" said these.

"Well, you can retire" Twilight says as the ponies leave the room "Well, that was a problem solved ..." Twilight says, adjusting his notes and making them disappear.

"Are you sure you handled it the right way?" Star says entering the room.

"Oh, Star, I did not realize you were at the door. Why do you ask if I handled it the right way?"

"Well, you basically said the suspect was a unicorn ... Is not that going to make the village ponies resent theirs?"

"Star's right, I think it would have been better if you had not told them he was a unicorn," Spike says.

"Oh, nonsense, I know everyone in this town and everyone knows each other, no one is going to treat another pony badly just for a suspicion, it will be fine" says Twilight leaving the room.

"If you say so…"

"How is progress with the device?"

"Good, but at a slow pace, calibration is the hardest part, but once we find the exact point to calibrate it, it should be no problem producing them in mass"responds Star

"Excellent, now, come on, we've got to keep working on this" says Twilight coming out into the library hoping to solve this problem before it gets out of control.
