The Pony Scrolls: Equestria

And it was said, the sky would run red with the rage of powerful beasts. These beasts would be around for the beginning, and the end.

~ Furor the Mythic

Orion could only stare at the spectacle before him. Alicorns, just like Celestia and Luna, flying down from the sky. They only circled above at first, not doing anything, until one Alicorn swooped down, and fired a blast of energy at the crowd. Hundreds of ponies were gone in an instant. It was at this point reality returned to Orion, and he heard the screaming crowds of ponies, not wanting to die and were confused. Though Orion did know that this would happen, he was still confused by the situation. He got his head back in the game and took note of the situation. Hundreds of Alicorns were flying down from that portal and ponies were dying. Twilight and her friends were trapped in their places with no way out, just standing there with little choice, helping Celestia bring forth these Alicorns, these monsters.

One Alicorn flew down and stood next to Celesta. “Oh dear sister, it's so good to be out of there.” This Alicorn had a fiery mane with a bright yellow coat. “Celesta it's so good to see you again. Thanks for getting us out of there.” Celestia simply smiled.

“Your welcome Nova Wave.” Nova Wave was almost the same size as Celestia, but didn't have the same . . . “Composure” as her. “Are the Alicorns ready to serve me?” Nova bowed.

“Everything has been done to your specifications sister. The Alicorns recognize your strength, and we will follow you.” Celestia laughed.

“Excellent. However, it looks like some of our brothers and sisters got a little excited and killed some of our subjects.” Nova looked at Celestia.

“What would you have us do to rectify the situation?” Nova asked.

Celestia looked up and thought for a moment. “Eliminate all the ponies present.” Orion, Twilight, and her friends just stood there shocked. “We'll tell the rest of the Canterlot population that it was the Element Bearers that killed the crowd and I brought the Alicorns in to save them.” Celestia started to walk away. “Take care of it, won't you?”

“PRINCESS!” Twilight yelled. She couldn't believe her ears, she couldn't believe her eyes, she didn't know what to believe anymore. But the princess didn't hear her, and with a flash, Celestia and Luna vanished.

“It would be my pleasure sister.” Nova smiled and motioned that Alicorns in the sky to finish it.

Orion quickly generated a shield to cover the retreat of the ponies in the crowd. The Alicorns roared in anger at this act of defiance. It wasn't easy for Orion to hold, especially since he was holding it while rushing over to Twilight and the others. When he saw that the other ponies were far away enough to fend for themselves, he deactivated his shield. “Twilight!” Orion yelled.

Twilight looked back at Orion who was galloping across burning bodies and rubble to get to her. Just then, she noticed the Elements had stopped glowing and Twilight and her friends now had the liberty of movement. Nova Wave turned to Twilight.

“Well now, it looks like this pony is guilty of being present.” Her horn started to flash. “It's a pity you weak creatures die so easily, I would have enjoyed torturing you.” She fired a beam at Twilight. Twilight could only stand there and wait, the doom of Equestria was already upon them, and Celestia had betrayed Twilight on every level. What else was there for her? She waited for the blast, for searing pain to consume her and her mind. But it never came, instead she saw Orion holding a concentrated shield around her and her friends.

“Twilight!” Orion yelled. “Do you still know that teleportation spell?” Twilight couldn't believe what she saw, the jerk that betrayed her trust and caused her to destroy a building was protecting her. “Twilight!” He yelled again.

“Yes, but where do we go?!” She asked. Orion turned around and placed his horn on to Twilight's. Suddenly, mental pictures flooded her mind. Pictures of a house, pictures of town, a location. She found a word for the location, “Trottenheim.” She took a step back. “Why did you-?” Orion interrupted her.

“Later. For now, get us and your friends there right now! We'll be safe there.” Twilight looked around at all of her friends, they were all there. Applejack, Rainbow Dash, Rarity, Fluttershy, Pinkie Pie, and Spike. She turned to Orion and nodded. She placed the picture of Orion's home in her mind and powered up her spell. The Alicorns that were there swarmed around Orion's shield and were about to fire a concentrated beam that would destroy them. The beam fired, but Twilight managed to get them away just in the nick of time.

Nova grimaced. But then she smiled. “No matter.” She said with confidence. “The hunt makes it all the more fun.” She turned to look at the burning part of the city and said, “Let's finish up here and then go back to the palace, to take our seats of power . . . under our dear sister.”
