Chapter 2 - Reinforcements

"Dear Princess Twilight. Last night my friends and I found a mysterious button on the side of the portal. Rainbow Dash decided it would be a good idea to press it , and when she did a bright light engulfed her and sent her to another realm , one of which none of us are aware of. None of us know what happened to her , but a while after she went missing a mysterious figure approached us. She looked a lot like Vice Principle Luna, but as a demon. We can only assume she has Rainbow Dash. Anyway Applejack said she would switch places with Rainbow , but it backfired and now the dark figure has them both. We would really appreciate any assistance you can offer and quickly. Your friend , Sunset Shimmer."

"Ugh how long has it been since you sent the message Sunset?" Pinkie asked getting impatient.

"I already told you Pinkie , its only been about 30 seconds." Sunset said flatly. As worried as she was about and Rainbow and AJ, this was the 8th time pinkie had asked since she had sent the message , and she was staring to get a little annoyed.

"I just hope their safe." Fluttershy stand in a worried tone.

"Me too darling. Me too." Rarity answered her shy friend.

Sunsets journal then stared to vibrate.

"Dear Sunset. what you described in your message sounds an awful lot like Nightmare Moon , a corrupted version of Princess Luna, the princess of the night from Equestria. Many moons ago the two royal pony sisters lived in harmony watching over all of Equestria and all of its inhabitants. Princess Celestia raised the sun and Princess Luna raised the moon. But as time passed luna began to get jealous that ponies were ignoring her beautiful night by sleeping through it. Soon the jealously took full control and it transformed the Princess into Nightmare Moon! With no other choice Princess Celestia was forced to banish her sister to the moon , using the elements of harmony. Legend had it that on 1000th year of the Summer Sun Celebration Nightmare Moon would return and attempt to turn Equestria into a land of eternal darkness. She did return and with the help of the elements of my harmony, and my friends we were able to turn her back into Princess Luna. But it seems the spirit of Night Moon has crossed over to your realm, I don't know whats going to happen but you need to find Rainbow Dash and Applejack as soon as possible and put a stop to this before your world becomes a living nightmare. Good luck. Princess Twilight Sparkle.

"We already knew we have to find them, But HOW?!" Rarity shouted.

"Sunset did you really not know anything about Nigthmare Moon?" Fluttershy asked.

"No sorry, I left before Princess celestia had a chance to explain it to me." Sunset answered.

"Well we need to rescue AJ and Dashie!" Pinkie chirped.

"Agreed,but how are we going to do that with only four of us?" Rarity questioned.

"I think I know 5 girls who could help." Sunset stated.

(Over at Crystal Prep Academy)

"And thats another win for the Lightning Streak!" Indigo Zap exclaimed excitedly.

"Oh come on! thats like the 10th game in row!" Sour Sweet said getting a little annoyed. "Best out 25?" She asked.

"Sorry Sour, but you're good at some things but Rock , Paper, Scissors just isn't one of them." Indigo smirked.

Suddenly Lemon Zest approached the two. "Guys , guys , guys!" She screamed in what sounded like a concerned voice, something she never did.

"What is it Lemon?" Indigo asked.

"I just got a message from Sunset Shimmer from CHS , and... Sour sweet then interrupted her.

"Oh CHS" she said sweetly before her tone turned sour. I wish they would leave us alone!"

"No Sour she sounded like she needed our help." Lemon continued.

"Whoa , whoa , whoa!" Indigo Zap jumped in. "Are you telling me that the same Sunset Shimmer who defeated Twilight when she turned into that monster at the Friendship Games needs OUR help!?"

"YES! so we better hurry!" Lemon answered. we'll pick up Sugarcoat and Sunny flare on the way."

"We've been here for hours!" Rainbow shouted in frustration.

"Its not even been 24 hours Rainbow." Apple jack answered trying to stay calm.

"AJ , I'm scared what if they don't find us!?"

"They will sugar cube , I'm sure of it." The girls then heard foot steps approaching them.

"I trust you girls are well?" Nightmare Moon asked.

"Uhh well lets see. You're keeping us hostage in wherever this is, so how do you THINK we are!?" Rainbow demanded to know.

"Dash calm down!" Applejack shouted whilst holding her rainbow haired friend back.

"Hmm you two get some rest you'll need it for tomorrow. Nightmare said with an evil grin as she turned away.

The crystal prep girls had now arrived at CHS.

"So whats the big emergency?" Sunny Flare asked.

"Rainbow Dash and Applejack have been kidnapped." Sunset answered.

"Yes! this means I have a chance to reform my reputation as a winner!" Indigo shouted as she punched the air with her first.

"Indigo Zap!" Lemon screamed. Winning isn't whats important right now!"

"Besides the Friendship games only happen every four years and we had one 3 months ago." Sugarcoat bluntly stated.

"yeah but I'm not just talking about the Friendship Games , I'm talking games in general." Indigo answered back.

"Girls I think we're getting side tracked here. Please continue Sunset." Sunny Flare jumped in. "What happened to Applejack and Rainbow?"

"Well its kinda a long story." Sunset explained as she told them what had happened and showed them the letter from Princess Twilight.

"Wow thats awful." Sour Sweet stated.

"Yeah almost makes me feel bad about gloating earlier." Indigo said in a guilty tone.

"What can we do?" Lemon Zest asked in a worried tone of voice.

"I'm glad you asked." Sunset quickly responded. She then explained her rescue plan to all of the girls.

"So this is what we do..."
