It was a beautiful, sunny spring day at Canterlot High School.

The end of another long Tuesday had Sunset Shimmer in the library, busy studying for a math test that was to be taken tomorrow.

Usually all her others friends would join her and form a study group, though that was not the case as Rainbow Dash had to be at soccer practice directly after school. Applejack having to head home to her farm to help with the apple harvest. Pinkie Pie having to directly go to work at Sugarcube Corner, helping either man the register or help with the baking of sweets. Rarity and Fluttershy both going to the animal shelter, as Rarity had a ‘fabulous’ idea of an animal clothing line, her wanting to go to get the animal’s measurements. Fluttershy coming along to help her.

And finally Twilight Sparkle, who you may think would want to help her study, had a ‘special’ “get together” with Timber.

So yeah, it was just her, sitting at one of the many work tables while other students around her either checked out a book they had to read for class, or typing their essays down on one of the computers.

“The square root of one hundred and fifty is twelve point two four seven four four. Multiplied by five and we get...” Sunset uses her calculator to get the answer. “Sixty one point two three seven two four.” Sunset says to herself, writing down her work in her notebook.

Right as she goes to another question, she hears a vibrating, buzzing sound.

Looking into her book bag, Sunset sees that the journal that her and Princess Twilight write to each other with is indeed vibrating and buzzing.

“I can take a break for a little while. She probs just wants a quick chat.” Sunset takes the journal out of her bag, setting it on the table and opening up to the page with the newest entry, starting to read.

“Dear Sunset Shimmer, I am writing to you to warn you of a potential threat that may be in your world.”

Threat?

“You see, me and my friends had to use the elements of harmony (Celestia and Luna’s orders) to banish an old, ancient threat to Equestria called the Toras. With the head of a dragon, body of a pony, and tail that of a manticore.”

Sunset puts the book down, moving her pen to her cheek. “Toras? Now where have I hear of that before?”

After a minute of thinking, Sunset picks back up the book but right as the loudspeaker turns on, saying: “Attention students. The library will be closing early today due to.. principal reasons. Don’t worry it’ll be opened extra early tomorrow at six thirty sharp. That is all.” VP Luna says as the loudspeaker turns off.

“That’s weird. But story does check out.”

Right as everyone is starting to pack up and head home, Sunset decides to quickly read the rest of what Twilight sent her.

“But you see, the Toras made it easy to banish him, and that’s what we think he’s planning.”

“Be on the lookout in your world for anything, if it’s equestrian magic or something you feel is a threat.”

“Of course you can let the other girls join in, as for who knows where he could be in your world.”

“It’s all up to you and the others to track down and defeat this thing before he causes harm to your world. I just know you can do it.” Sincerely, Princess Twilight Sparkle.

Another threat from Equestria. With equestrian magic possibly.

Of course something like this would happen a week before spring break.

Nevertheless, we’re on it.

Sunset thinks to herself as she packs up everything back into her bag, getting up and walking out of the library.

As she does, Sunset pull out her phone from her jacket’s pocket, opening up to a group chat where her and her friends text to each other.

She texts to all six of them: “Hey girls. Make sure to bring your elements necklaces with you tomorrow to school. I’ll explain about it tomorrow. See you then.”

As yesterday was a beautiful, sunny Tuesday, today is the exact opposite as it’s a cloudy, rain all throughout the day Wednesday at Canterlot High School.

Sunset Shimmer was at her locker, taking out books from and to her book bag.

As she had told her other friends, she too had brought her element necklace with her to school.

Right as she’s done with her locker, the rest of her friends walk over by her. All the six of them looking to have read her text and brought their element necklaces with them too.

“Hey Guys.” Sunset says with a smile. “How are you?”

“Oh fine. And by fine, I mean sore. Really really sore.” Rainbow answers her. “Ever since we’ve had this new soccer coach, she’d been working us so hard, I didn’t even think you could be worked this hard.”

“Quite a predicament there.” Sunset says back. “Anyway. I’m sure you're wondering about why I’ve asked of you to bring your element?”

Each of the girls either give a sideway nod, a confused strug, or a wide smile with two thumbs up (specifically Pinkie).

“Well you see.” Sunset takes out her SunTwi journal. “Yesterday princess Twilight wrote to me for us to be on the lookout for something, or someone called a Toras.”

“A what now?” Applejack responds.

“A Toras. A being said to be of a dragon head, a pony’s body, and a tail of a manticore.” (Human) Twilight answers her.

“Oh, oh my.” Fluttershy says a little scared.

“Uh, how did you know that?” Sunset says a little surprised to her friend.

“Oh you know, the usual... research.” Twilight says as she tries to sneakily tuck her phone back into her backpack, not trying to let anyone know she simply just looked it up on the internet.

“Okay. Anyway, I’ll just have to say be on the lookout for anything looking to involve equestrian magic, or anything else looking threatening. Caplesh?”

“Caplesh!” All seven girls put their hands together then all simultaneously raise them up in the air.

Sunset knew she could count on her friends.
