Prologue: Chaotic Breakdowns
It was another beautiful day in Equestria and Princess Celestia was busy at work as usual. Her job as Equestria's leader was difficult all on it's own. having to deal with diplomatic matters, solving the problems of her subjects but all the most, preserving the peace of Equestria. However Celestia was growing more impatient day by day. She had asked Twilight and her friends to come visit her so they could discuss about the rumors that been spreading all over Equestria. She was just finishing up some paperwork when someone knocked on her door.
"Enter," said Celestia. The doors opened as one of her guards walked in.
"They have arrived," said the guard.
"Excellent," said Celestia. The guard stepped off to the side as Twilight and her friends ran in .
"Princess, we came as fast we could," said Twilight. "What's the emergency?"
"Oh about that," said Celestia. "Forgive me twilight, but that was just an excuse to get you over here,"
"What?" asked Rainbow Dash.
"The thing is I wanted to discuss with about the rumors," said Celestia walking down from her throne.
"Rumors?" asked Fluttershy.
"So you haven't heard," said Celestia.
"I'm sorry princess but we haven't heard any rumors as of late," said Twilight.
"I thought so," said Celestia. "Lately there had been rumors of ponies suddenly going crazy,"
"Crazy?" asked Starlight.
"It's not just ponies, but other creatures as well," said Celestia. "According to witnesses, many creatures have suddenly gone crazy and began creating chaos and destruction,"
'What!?" gasped Twilight. "Does anypony know what's causing this?"
"Unfortunately not," answered Celestia. "What's more is the fact that these victims suddenly died by taking their own life,"
"Oh dear," whimpered Fluttershy.
"Is there anything we can do?" asked Applejack.
"That's where you come in," said Celestia. "I want you to investigate these mysterious chaotic breakdowns,"
"You can count on us Princess!" beamed Twilight "Let's go girls," Twilight led her friends out leaving Celestia with a look of hope in her eyes.
"I'll be expecting great things from you," Celestia whispered
"Hey Ren!' a voice called out. Ren snapped back into reality and looked down at the black cat with blue eyes. "Are you alright, you haven't touched your food," Ren looked up to see his friends all looking at him with worried looks.
"Oh um yeah sorry, just had some things on mind," said Ren. Ren Amamiya was a student at Shujin Academy in Shibuya, Japan. He had transferred there after being falsely accused for assault on a man who had been harassing a woman. Ever since his transfer, he had made friends but not in the way he had expected. But that was the past, after defeating the false god Yaldabaoth, he and his friends had retired their jobs as The Phantom Thieves of Heart. It's been a while and he had invited his friends on a outing to celebrate their anniversary. But for some reason, the past several days, Ren had felt as if something was wrong. Almost as if something inside him was telling him that he wasn't done yet. But of course he couldn't tell that to his friends.
"So Ren where are going next eh buddy?" asked Ryuji.
"I was thinking of the movies, a new one just came out," suggested Ren.
"Ooh nice idea Ren!" said Ann. Just as his friends were getting riled up, his phone buzzed. Curiously, Ren pulled out his phone and and turned it on. He gasped and felt his heart sink when he saw what was on screen.
"Hmm, Ren is something wrong?" ask Yusuke.
"Guys," said Ren. His friends looked at him.
'What's up Ren?" asked Ryuji. Ren held up his phone to show his friends. As they leaned in closer, the smiles melted off their faces.
'What?" asked Makoto. "But this is,"
"I thought we were," stuttered Haru. On the the screen was a familiar red app.
"The Metaverse Navigator?" asked Futaba.
"What did you say?" asked Morgana. He jumped out of Ren's bag and onto the table
"But how I thought Mementos was gone," said Haru.
"But wait it looks kind of different," said Ann. Sure enough, the red eye had been replaced by three six pointed stars. Two small and one big. At that same moment, everyone's phone buzzed catching their attention. They all reached for their phones and turned it on.
"What but how?" gasped Haru.
"You have it too don't you?" asked Ren.
"Yeah but," stuttered Ann.
"What the hell is going on here?" asked Ryuji.
"Morgana what is the meaning of this?" asked Makoto.
"I'm not sure, we finished our job as Phantom Thieves," said Morgana.
"What do we do?" asked Futaba. Everyone looked at Ren with worried looks in their eyes.
"Just to make sure," said Ren.
"You're gonna do it aren't you?" asked Yusuke. Ren nodded. His friends looked at him in anticipation, as Ren tapped the app. But just as he did, the app vanished and his phone went black.
"What?' asked Ren. At that same moment, the same thing happened to his friends leaving a black screen on everyone's phone.
"What just happened?" asked Ryuji. Suddenly the ground began to shake making them jump out of their seats.
"What the hell!?" yelped Ryuji.
"An earthquake?" asked Haru. A deep laughter echoed throughout Shibuya as a large black rift opened up underneath them.
"What?" asked Makoto. Before anyone could respond, they were sucked in and soon everything returned to normal.
"And I told you I have no idea what you're talking about," said Discord.
"Are you sure?" asked Rainbow Dash.
"Come on, what makes you think I'm the one responsible for these chaotic crashes or whatever you call them," said Discord.
"First of all, it's chaotic breakdown," corrected Twilight. "Second of all you're the spirit of chaos, even if you aren't responsible you should at least know somepony who's involved,"
"And I told you I don't know," said Discord.
"Come on Twilight, he's not helping," said Starlight. "Let's go talk with somepony else,"
"Don't think you're off the hook," said Twilight pointing her hoof at him. She turned around and was about to start walking when the ground began to shake.
"What in the name of Equestria?!" asked Applejack.
'It's an Earthquake!" exclaimed Starlight. Suddenly the sky went from blue to red and the clouds turned black.
"What's happening!?" yelped Spike.
"Discord," growled Rarity.
"It's not me," said Discord. At that moment a large black rift opened up over the ponyville plaza as something came falling out and crashed in the center. The rift disappeared and the ground stopped shaking leaving everypony shook.
"Hey something just landed in the plaza," said Pinkie.
"Let's go check it out," said Twilight. They began running towards the plaza with Discord following behind them. When they arrived, a small crowd had formed around a large crater near the center.
"Excuse me everypony can we get through?' asked Fluttershy. The ponies quickly moved out of the way as they let them through. When they reached the center, they looked in to see seven humans and a black cat with a yellow collar on the ground.
'Who the?" asked Rainbow Dash. One of the humans looked up and met eyes with Twilight. For a moment, they stared at each other in silence.
"Who are you?" they asked in unison.
