"Yellow!" my band mate Sticks called out. They had made it to the train station, just as planned.

"Sticks!" I cried out, "I got us tickets. Did you guys get your weapons?"

"Of course!" He smirked, "I even grabbed some armor and gear. Here, this was something I found. It's a helmet an armor with your name engraved on it."

"That's odd," I said, "Why would my name be on it unless..."

"Unless what?" Strings asked.

"That's my great-grandfather's armor!" I was shocked, "His name was Yellow like mine, but he didn't actually have a horn. He was a pegasus by the Name of Yellow Heat. I can't believe you found this!"

"That's not all, but Strings found my old Assassin's Creed costume and it still fits!" Sticks said, with happiness in his voice. He was such a dork when he wasn't out being popular.

"And I found my archery outfit with his costume in the lost and found," Strings said, a small blush on his face, "Now suit up, we might need this."

"So what weapons did you guys choose?" I asked.

"I found two crystal daggers," Sticks replied, "They were glowing brightly."

"And I found a Crystal Bow," Strings said, pulling out a bow. "IIt was glowing when I found it. t uses magic arrows, judging by the old design. It actually dates back 300 years."

"Hey, are you gonna board the train, or what?" A stallion wearing a striped cap and overalls asked, very impatiently.

"Oh, sorry!" I laughed. We boarded the train and sat down as soon as we got on. THe train ride was uneventful, all we did was talk and put our armor on. When we arrived at Canterlot, we were greeted by Princess Celestia.

"It is so nice to see you three, how was the fair?" She asked, with a happy glowing smile on her face.

"It was a fun time until-" I was cut off by Celestia putting her hoof to my mouth.

"We can talk about that more when we get to the castle," She said, her voice quieting and deepening "But there is one thing I'd like to ask."

"What is it Princess?" I asked, puzzled.

"Where did you find that armor?" She questioned, "I mean, I know it's your great-grandfather's, but how did you find it? I asked Twilight to hide it deep within her castle. A place where no pony goes."

"I found it in her armory," Sticks replied, "Why is it so important?"

"The armor was worn by Yellow Heat. This warrior had been one of my top generals for a long time," She told us, "But the armor has a spell on it. When united with the crystal sword, a warrior will appear. This warrior will don the armor, and become one of Equestria's greatest heroes."

"You mean this sword?" I asked, pulling out the sword. Celestia went wide-eyed and teleported us. Where we had gone was a room filled with ancient texts.

"This here is more restricted than the restricted section of the library," Celestia explained, "In here we have some of the most important texts and scrolls in Equestria."

"And?" I asked, kind of rudely.

"And you're great-grandfather's very own private study," She replied,, clearly annoyed "I didn't know why he had so many spell books until now. He knew you were going to be born. And now, you three will be known as crystal warriors."

"Could you go into more detail about what Crystal Warriors are?" I asked curiously.

"Crystal Warriors are a group of three ponies," She began, "Each of them have their own classes. The Knight holds the crystal sword and wears the crystal armor. He is the leader of the group and the strongest. His sword, the crystal sword has a spell on it that makes untouchable by those who are evil. It causes great pain to evil beings. Next is the assassin, who holds the crystal daggers, like you have sheathed, Drum Sticks. You're a warrior who sticks to the shadows, and is best for taking out targets quickly. He is very cunning and sly, like a fox. His blades are said to have penetrated to heavens, allowing the birth of the first alicorn. And finally, the archer. The crystal bow you hold fires magic arrows, and has been rumored to have the ability to pierce fifteen enemies at once with a single shot. He is always the farthest way from the fight, but is the most useful. Without the archer, you're team would have no protection. Three warriors, that was the rule. But one day, a pony, a mage attempted to join. When he was turned down, he made his own crystal weapon and returned. He was turned down again. The mage turned evil. He tried to poison the land with crystal, as you see now. He was sealed away by the three warriors. These warriors were your great-grandparents and your great-grandfather's best friend. Now this evil mage has returned, and it is your job to defeat him. You're weapons will keep you safe from crystallization. Now go, young ponies, and save Equestria. I believe in you."

"Celestia!" An old and grey wizard cried out, bursting through the door, "What in you father's name are you doing!"

"Starswirl, I didn't know you were here," Celestia said, putting on a fake smile, "What brings you back to Canterlot?"

"I've been on the trail of the Crystal Weapons," He told her, "And it seems I may have found them. And I'm taking them."

"What do you mean?" Celestia asked.

"You know what I mean," Starswirl exploded, "Those weapons should never have been made. I made a mistake that day."

"You made the weapons?" I asked.

"No, I only placed magical power inside of it. The person who made them is you ancestor. The sword you hold was left in your family, while the bow and daggers went to theirs," Starswirl explained, "I find it odd how the weapons ended up back in the possession of the three families."

"Wait. are you saying me and Sticks are related!?"

"Very distantly," Starswirl told us, "The daggers would be in your possession if you didn't hold the sword. Your friend is from the youngest side of the Sticks family."

"Really? How?" Sticks was shocked.

"Other than you're parents and Yellow's great-grandma's side, you are the only one left." He explained.

"That's dark. Very dark," I said, "So his family is dying out?"

"Yes. if one of three remaining children don't have their own children someday, the family will disappear off the face of Equestria," Starswirl said, "Now back on topic, I need the weapons."

"No," I said, "These weapons are the only thing that can help us defeat the growing crystal!"

"You can't mean Crystal Fate can you?" All the color (If there was any to begin with) had been drained from his face.

"What's "Crystal Fate?" I asked.

"Crystal Fate is the one thing that can end all of Equestria?" Starswirl said, "Where is Princess Twilight?"

"She was frozen in, but I connected wavelengths with her, do you think I could contact her?" I asked, out of curiosity.

"As long as she has her mind" He said.

"Should I contact her?" I asked.

"Yes, but since she is probably unconscious, you'll probably have to go into her mind and find her" Starswirl said.

"Alright then," I said, "let's do this."
