It was a good day for Twilight and the other members of the mane 6. They had just defeated another villain that threatened the ponies of Equestria. Though some would question how someone who would not stop talking in the library could really hurt someone, some have called it propaganda but not in public. As they don't want to be treated by outcasts. Celestia came to pony Ville to tell them what other lesson they have learned and how the magic of friendship will always be strong, no matter what. Of course pinkie pie just had to throw a party to celebrate. Applejack could not stay for the party though as she had important family matters to attend to.

"Once again I am proud of you, all of you. You have proven once again, that evil, no matter how big can never truly defeat the magic of friendship." Celestia said with a smile as the party was ongoing. The ponies were having fun, than again most of Pinkie's parties are good.

"I could have taken this baddie out in ten seconds flat, but I decided to go easy on him." Rainbow cash boasted as he flew around gaining a few glances from some ponies, mostly from the friends of the villain who were currently discussing his hospital bill.

Pinkie Pie was bouncing around happily. "I can't wait to plan the other two parties.!" she shouted as she defied all laws of reality.

"Other parties darling? I mean I know you love throwing parties, but shouldn't you take a break? Rarity asked her as she was reading a beauty magazine.

"Nonsense, I still need to throw a party for Applejack when she gets back, and also one for our new bipedal friends!" Pinkie shouted once again, this time confusing everyone

"New bipedal friends? Pinkie, I don't see any...…" Twilight was cut off as one cue a massive explosion is heard, which causes everyone to rush outside to see what happened. Over the everfree is a massive portal.

"Oh come on...…." they all say in unison as the portal soon covers most of the everfree.

"Twilight...…..will we ever catch a break?" Rarity asks as she comforts the scared Fluttershy.

"No I do not think we ever will." Twilight replies as she holds Rainbow back with her magic to stop her from just rushing to the portal

A few moments earlier

Some where in the farthest snow mountains of Skyrim is a tower. Barely anyone knows of this tower, the combination of dragons and a civil war raging on has drawled their attention away. Pretty much the only people who knows of it's existence is the residents. One particular resident and the ruler of the tower is a necromancer known to his allies as Skaler. Over the years he had amassed a bunch of servants who all are incredibly loyal to him as most of them are outcasts or criminals on the run as he has given the, shelter.

They consist of a banished mage from the college of Winterhold who was found experimenting on dead bodies, a disgrace captain of the guard who failed to protect a village from a bandit attack, as the reports were false. Triplets consisting of a alchemist, a blacksmith, a enchanter, and all of their assistants, the enchanter was using humans and black soul gems to make decent enhancements, and where one brother goes, the other two follow. A ranger who killed a Thane he found poaching in his personal forest, and was of course forced to hide. A steward and Skaler's closest friend who shares in Skaler's dream to start a kingdom. He also has human soldiers as his Steward and Captain of the guard have done some recruitments over the years, money and power can buy almost anything

Of course those are just his living subordinates, he is a necromancer after all. Most of his undead consist of soldiers that Skaler has raised over the years. He mostly watches on going battles, like a fight between bandits and guards, like a hawk. He than swoops in and kills or knocks out the survivors, depending on the situation. The undead soldiers under his command are able to follow commands, albeit sorta iffy. He plans to solve this by further delving into necromancy. However one does stand out, a monster of a man, his personal body guard. Most of them are loyal to him, and that's all that matters.

"Alright, everything is in order. the ritual can be preformed!" Skaler shouts out to everyone in the room. "Now I know you are wondering why we are doing this ritual. You see with this ritual I will be able to further grow my powers and will be one step closer to raising an undead that isn't completely brain dead and can have somewhat of a will of his own. "But before we start I'll like to thank all of you. Ryker my captain, Raft my wizard, Jack my blacksmith, Henry my alchemist, Qarth my enchanter, Ranger Mike, and of course Harkon my close friend. "Now time to get this party started!" They all smile as they begin to help get the ritual started

Skaler takes a deep breath as he walks to the center of the room and opens his spell book and flips through the pages.

"Alright after I cast this spell I should be knocked out for a little bit, do not worry though I will not die. When I wake up I should have gain a little bit more knowledge and understanding of the dart arts of necromancy, now time to do this." He begins to cast the spell as his friends look on stepping back a little bit, just in case. They trust Skaler, but sometimes magic can fail.

As he begins to finish casting a spell, sheer bad luck happens as a bird flies into the room and knocks over a vase which shatters against his head. "You have got to be kidding me....." he says as he falls to the ground miscasting the spell which causes a portal to open and he is sucked in. His friends are in shock as they all begin to get sucked in, and despite their best efforts it's no use. Soon pieces of the tower begin to get sucked in as the tower just crumbles and the entirety of Skaler's forces just get sucked in. After a while the portal closes leaving the area where a mighty tower once stood, barren. Skyrim is now rid of one problem, but soon Equestria will have to face this problem
