Twilight started to panic. That horrible feeling was back, but it was almost like it had been multiplied by four, and it was coming from different directions.

She looked around in fear, the feeling of something bad was going to happen was back, she didn't know what to do.
Something in front of her caught her eye, the three Wonder Bolts in front of her seemed to be having a quiet argument. What they where saying, she had no idea, but she snapped her attention away from them as the tingling sensation increased again.

The ponies before her halted in their convocation and sat straight in their seats; the guards by the door acting the same way. They all looked at Spitfire, who gave some gestures with her hooves, and they all jumped in different directions.

Spitfire and the two guards dived behind Celestia and Candence, Soarin dashed towards Luna and Rainbow raced for the vent behind Twilight. The room was quiet, no one making a sound, apart from the odd grunt or clang from various places around the chambers.

Finally Spitfire and the guards reappeared, dragging a pony each along by the mane. A few moments later, and Soarin appeared, once again with another pony. The only pony who hadn't come back was Rainbow, and with a nod from his captain, the blue stallion raced after the rainbow mare.

A few grunts of pain later, and they came back, another pony being dragged along by the wings. Rainbow Dash was limping, a long, deep gash running down the whole of her back right leg, it was turning the marble floor from silver to crimson.

Twilight then directed her attention to the ponies knelt before the royal sisters. They all wore a black cloak, with a blood red strip going down their backs. They where armed, heavily, every single part of their cloak packed to the brim with lethal weapons and tools. Celestia scowled down at them," Who are you? Why do you come here?"

Much to the surprise of most ponies in the room, the black clad ponies all chuckled. " Oh princess," the only mare said" You really aren't the brightest star in the galaxy. I thought it to be obvious, we're here to kill you."
