Chapter 1: The Visitor

Chapter 1: The visitor

On an ordinary day, over a lush and beautiful land, where the tallest of trees pierce the dark skies, the grass are freshly green, the night stars were shining as well as the moon, whilst the river waters run smoothly down the stream as the animals were as cheery as they can be.

But far from them were a small but colorful town called Ponyville. Among them, the Earth Ponies, the Pegasi and the Unicorns were enjoying their night time tasks as all of them were enjoying the lantern lights that had been placed all over town, to many of their delights. From one part of the street to another. A unicorn with a lyre symbol on her flank called a cutie mark, was talking to an earth pony with pieces of candy cutie mark, showing that they were friends, whilst one white unicorn with blue hair was listening to music through her earphones whilst another earth pony with mulberry eyes was placing her cello away after she was done practicing music.

Ponies from all around were enjoying their nighttime tasks, but up from above, a certain rainbow mane Pegasus with a lightning rainbow cutie mark, flew over the lights whilst she enjoyed the bright colours from each of them. From down below, the rainbow mane Pegasus saw her friends from down below. Two Earth Ponies (an orange pony with a blond mane and a cowboy hat with a apple cutie mark named Applejack, with a pink pony and a pink mane with a balloon cutie mark named Pinkie Pie), two Unicorns (a white unicorn with a purple mane and a diamond cutie mark named Rarity, a slightly purple pony with a purple mane and has a glimmer type of star cutie mark named Starlight Glimmer), one Pegasus (a yellow pony with pink hair with a butterfly cutie mark named Fluttershy), one baby dragon with wings named Spike and an Alicorn (a purple Alicorn with a purple mane and a star that sparkles named Twilight Sparkle). She flew down and greeted them.

‘Hey, everypony.’ said Rainbow Dash, hovering over her friends ‘How’s it hanging?’

‘Fine and all Dash,’ said Applejack when she wondered why Rainbow Dash flew down here late ‘What kept y’all?’

‘Sorry, I had to clear the skies all around Ponyville so that we could continue with our new annual Night Lantern Festival. Speaking of which, any problems?’

‘Oh not at all darling,’ said Rarity with a gentle smile ‘The lanterns were quite a delight to display. Especially with the lanterns having my own personal designs.’

Each of the lanterns had Cutie Marks of everypony in Ponyville, with Rarity being proud of her work in the process.

‘Ah gotta admit it Sugarcube,’ said Applejack whilst she tilted her hat backwards ‘They look mighty decorative there.’
‘Why thank you Applejack.’

‘And I have to admit it, I was worried that we wouldn’t have enough treats for everypony here.’ said Starlight whilst she looked around, but everypony were able to get some cake, candy and many other treats ‘But thanks to Pinkie, they seem to be getting along well.’

‘Thanks,’ said Pinkie with a smile and skipped a bit around her friends ‘I always say that a cake and a treat and a party will always bring a smile to Everypony’s face.’

‘Got that right,’ said Spike whilst he stuffed his face with a cake whilst making happy noises from consuming his cake ‘They certainly make me happy.’

Twilight giggled when she saw Spike’s face being covered with cake icing ‘I can see that.’

‘Even the animals seem to enjoy it.’ said Fluttershy whilst she noticed there were a handful of creatures continuing to set up the festival whilst some of them were enjoying their new treats ‘And on the plus side, they get to experience a new party for tonight.’

When all of a sudden ‘Ah just hope they don’t cause a ruckus.’

To their surprise, they saw a filly with a bow, eating a treat, which was none other than Applejack’s little sister, Apple Bloom.

‘Apple Bloom?’ said Applejack to a surprised, but not that surprised, Applejack ‘What in tarnation are y’all doin’ out here?’

‘We volunteered to continue help hanging up the decorations of the Night Lantern Festival.’

They saw many of the fillies and other towns folk continuing to hang up the decorations and lanterns for the ongoing festival. ‘Oh, right.’ said Applejack whilst she blushed slightly, when she had forgotten about that.

‘I’m just glad Princess Luna agreed to this festival.’ said Starlight when she continued to look at the decorations and the rest of the festivities ‘She was really happy that we organized it.’

‘Probably because she kinda owed you after you helped her and Celestia solve their differences.’ said Spike when he remembered that time when Celestia and Luna didn’t see eye to eye over a petty squabble. ‘Although it would’ve been better if Twilight would’ve learned to stay out of it.’

‘What?’ said Twilight with a stern eye and looking at Spike.

‘What?’ said Spike whilst he explained things to her ‘Whenever a pony goes out into the world, they had to find out about things on their own. It may not be easy, but it’ll be worth it in the end. Besides, didn’t Princess Celestia trust you to do things on your own when you first set out to learn about friendship?’

Right before Twilight wanted to change the subject, Applejack spoke to her ‘Y’all have to admit it Twilight, Spike does have a point.’

‘I do not.’ said Twilight trying to object.

‘Oh really?’ said Rainbow Dash with a cocked eyebrow ‘Ms. Twiley Nanas?’

Twilight moaned when Rainbow Dash brought that up.

‘Darling,’ said Rarity whilst trying to reassure Twilight ‘Try to calm down. You’re heart may be in the right place, but you do have a tendency of taking things too far, and that’s coming from me whenever I go crazy over fashion.’

‘The pony of fashions speak the truth,’ said a striped Zebra named Zacora when she came to visit whilst helping out with the decorations as she walked by ‘Though you may the anxious in troubled times, but it can also cause, a large amount of stress.’

‘And we all know that anxiety is not very healthy for you.’ said Fluttershy when she reminded Twilight of her well being ‘Like Princess Celestia taught me during the play, you need to keep a calm mind and soul, for you never know what you might learn.’

Twilight sighed when she knew her friends were right ‘How is it I can never disagree with you?’

‘Because,’ said Pinkie whilst she floated around with balloons tied around her ‘You have a habit of being overconfident and always tend to give up too easily like the time Neigh Say shut the school down, or Starswirl being mad at you for releasing the Pony of Shadows, or thinking of taking Tirek alone, or…’

‘Okay, I get it!!’ said Twilight loudly when she didn’t want to be reminded of those days. ‘Why do you girls always bring that up?’

Pinkie placed the left side of her face against Twilight’s with a smile ‘Because we love you.’

‘And you need to learn to relax,’ said another voice, which revealed them to be Trixie.

‘Trixie.’ said Starlight when she and Trixie hugged one another and broke it ‘You made it.’

‘Of course,’ said Trixie whilst she placed her hat and cape away ‘The Great and Powerful Trixie would never miss out a new festivity here in Ponyville.’. Trixie looked around and saw the lanterns hanging about. ‘Ooh, I so approve of this.’ said Trixie when she admired the lanterns, whilst looking at Rarity ‘And I must say Rarity, this is some of your best work.’

‘Oh, um, thank you.’ said Rarity whilst partially being surprised at the same time.

‘Wow that’s…mighty honest of you.’ said Applejack when she felt the same way Rarity does.

‘We all gotta grow up sometime.’ said Trixie when she admitted it. When all of a sudden, Trixie suddenly had a piece of paper fly into her face, which made her take it off in frustration ‘Okay, what the heck, I thought that there was going to be no wind today?’

The others also realized it when they realized that the wind were picking things up slowly. ‘What the heck is going on?’ said Twilight when she wondered what the wild wind was about.

‘Rainbow,’ said Applejack whilst she held onto her hat ‘Ah thought y’all said the weather was clear and all.’

‘I did,’ protested Rainbow Dash when she didn’t want to take the blame ‘I didn’t think that a wind like this would just show up.’

‘Or…,’ said Spike when he gulped, whilst pointing at something really scary above ‘That?!!’

They looked up at the sky, and to their shock, they saw dark thunderclouds flying above their skies, but instead of covering all of Ponyville, it covered all of Equestria. The thunder began to make more noises as the winds got sharper. And without warning, lightning began to strike against a few buildings, causing them to be lit on fire. Many of the citizens of Ponyville ran around in a panic trying to get away from the lightning storms.

‘Quick, Applejack, Pinkie Pie,’ said Twilight when she directed her friends ‘You two get the ponies to safety under every cellar you can find!!’

‘Okie-dokie-lokie!’ said Pinkie as she and Applejack darted off to help the ponies.

‘Fluttershy, get your animals to safety and fast!!’

‘Okay.’ said Fluttershy with a frightened voice as she guided her animal friends to safety.

‘Rarity, try to get the fillies to a safe distance!!’

‘Alright darling!!’ said Rarity whilst she gathered very filly she could find, with Spike volunteering to help.

‘Rainbow, get up to the clouds and see if you can direct them away!!’

‘You got it!!’ shouted Rainbow as she darted towards the clouds.

‘Starlight, help me redirect the lightning so that they don’t hurt anypony else!!’

‘Alright, will do!!’ said Starlight as she and Twilight began to redirect the lightning whilst flying through every direction as quick as they could.

From every corner, Twilight and her friends were doing all that they could to help the citizens of Ponyville. Spike helped Rarity get the fillies to safety, as well as Fluttershy with her animals.

Applejack and Pinkie Pie were directing most of the ponies to nearby shelters. Twilight and Starlight were doing what they could to redirect the lightning to different parts outside of Equestria.

Rainbow Dash on the other hand flew around and tried to destroy what she could, but discovered the clouds were being recreated and were still being used to shoot lighting, but instead lethal ones when she noticed that the lightning had just struck at Fluttershy’s sanctuary, as well as half of Applejack’s barn.

‘What the heck is the matter with this storm?!!’ said Rainbow Dash as she got frustrated ‘Does it have a mind of its own or something?!’

When she smashed another cloud beside her, she heard a loud screeching and zipped past her, which looked like a half severed body as well as a few wings. ‘What the…?’ she said to herself as she looked up.

To her shock, they saw a few creatures above with wings (resembling to Greek harpies) as they flew around bearing totems that can control lighting. Rainbow Dash saw that they were busy shooting at something that moved at a faster rate, until one of them got punched as it hovered below Rainbow Dash. She heard yelling and looked above her. To her shock, she saw a being that launched himself in the air with wings of his own as he screamed in rage whilst holding two objects as they were on fire, shocking her when she yelped whilst she dodged it.

She saw it fighting the creature with his swords, until with one mighty swing, and it sawed the winged creature in half, shocking Rainbow Dash again in the process. The mysterious being continued to fly and fight the creatures, but at the same time, Rainbow Dash tried to dodge the lightning no matter what.

When all of a sudden, one of the lightning had struck against her right wing, causing her to scream of pain ‘Aw, Buck!!’

She ended up being hurled towards the ground as she descended from the ground, spinning out of control, until she finally fell through the clouds straight towards Ponyville and straight towards Twilight’s castle.
She closed her eyes when she was about to crash. But somehow she stopped. The moment she realized it, she opened her eyes and looked up. To her surprise, she saw Derpy saving her whilst she landed in front of Twilight’s castle doors.

‘You okay?’ said Derpy when she was worried about Rainbow Dash’s well being.

‘I’m good,’ said Rainbow Dash whilst she held onto her hurt wing ‘Wing got hurt, but good.’

‘Quick,’ said Derpy whilst her hoof was against the door ‘We’d better get inside.’

Derpy opened the door whilst they quickly walked in. Whilst at the same time, half of the citizens of Ponyville were inside, trying to make sure all of them were safe, whilst Twilight and most of the hospital staff from the local Ponyville Hospital, quickly gave them blankets to keep warm, whilst some were being treated for their injuries when most of the debris hurt most of them.

Twilight saw Rainbow Dash coming in and saw she was injured, causing her to fly down and thanked Derpy, with her walking away to see if Dinky was alright. ‘Rainbow,’ said Twilight when she wanted to know what went wrong ‘What happened out there?’

As Nurse Redheart mended Rainbow Dash’s wing, she explained what happened ‘I tried Twilight, but the clouds up at the sky is nothing like I’ve ever seen. Every time I take down a couple of clouds, a ton more show up, and they’re more violent than the last. What about the others, are they okay?’

‘Applejack, Pinkie Pie and Fluttershy were able to take half the town to the shelters for safety,’ said Twilight whilst she was giving her an update ‘Rarity and Spike were able to take a the other half of the town folk here and also the doctors just in case. Starlight and I were able to place a protected shield around the castle so that the storm couldn’t take them down.’

‘That’s a relief.’ said Rainbow Dash, but was somehow a bit terrified at the same time.

‘Are you alright Rainbow Dash?’ said Twilight when she noticed that Rainbow Dash looked more terrified ‘You look like you’ve seen a ghost.’

‘I…uh…’ responded Rainbow Dash whilst she stuttered a bit through her voice ‘I saw something within the clouds Twilight. Something…horrible.’

‘Like what?’ said Twilight out of curiosity, for when she saw Rainbow like that, she had every reason to be concerned.

‘I saw a handful of creatures up there,’ said Rainbow Dash when she started after Redheart was done with her wing as she went to help other ponies in need ‘ They were big, scary, have wings, but they’re not dragons, and they can control lightning.’

‘What,’ said Twilight when she was shocked to hear what Rainbow Dash had seen ‘Are you sure?’

‘I’m sure, and among them, I saw another creature. He didn’t look like any creature I’d seen, and he was carrying swords that were on fire.’

‘Fiery swords?’ said Twilight out of confusion.

‘I’m not making this up Twilight,’ said Rainbow Dash when she was literally nose to nose with Twilight ‘It was scarier than those creatures, it butchered them like they were nothing.’

They heard the lightning crashes from outside, which frightened those who were hiding inside. At the same time, Spike flew down and panted with exhaustion when he landed near Twilight

‘I’ve shut every window and door throughout the castle and sealed them tight. But it’s really looking bad out there Twilight, the lightning is destroying half of Ponyville.’

‘Destroying half of Ponyville?!!’ said a shocked Twilight when she held Spike close to her.

‘That’s what I said,’ said Spike when he wanted to make sure she heard it right ‘Half of Ponyville.’

The crashing continued outside, as well as a small quake happening form outside, leaving them more frightened. The lightning crashes and quakes continued to happen outside, with everypony still bracing themselves from within. ‘We can’t go out there Twilight, it’s too dangerous. I vote that we wait it out until all of this is over.’

‘I uh, second that notion.’ said Spike when he agreed with Rainbow Dash, as all of them continued to wait, until the storm had ended.

Later that very morning, the sky began to shine with the rising Sun, thanks to Celestia. After all of them woke up and were fed, all of them walked outside, and were shocked when they saw half of Ponyville in ruins. Many had gathered around and began to clear the debris and messes whilst the construction workers began to rebuild the town. Twilight was shocked to see Ponyville in ruins.

‘One storm, caused all this?’ said Twilight when she could barely fathom of what happened.

‘It’s not just half of Ponyville,’ said Rainbow Dash when she had just finished inspecting the sky and landed near Twilight ‘Half of the Everfree Forest is in ruins.’

‘Half of Everfree?’ said Twilight when she didn’t realize that not even the wild magic there could counter weather like that.

Applejack, Pinkie Pie and Fluttershy came from the other side when some of them looked sad, whilst Twilight went over to see how they were. ‘Thank goodness you girls are alright, are you hurt?’

‘Not…really.’ said Applejack whilst she looked hurt.

‘What happened?’ said Twilight when she noticed Applejack looked hurt.

‘Half of the trees, even half of Sweet Apple Acres are in partial ruins.’ said Pinkie Pie whilst she tried to comfort Applejack, even Fluttershy ‘And Fluttershy’s cottage was almost destroyed, and uh…Sweet Feather Sanctuary doesn’t look too good either.’

‘Oh no.’ said Twilight when she didn’t realize how bad things were ‘But what about Granny Smith, is she…?

‘She’s fine, but mostly heartbroken.’ said Applejack when she was just as concerned with her health ‘But luckily for us the Apple Family came to visit her, so they’ll be able to help put things right in no time.’

‘Plus I was grateful to the bigger animals to keep the smaller ones safe’ said Fluttershy whilst she tried to smile.

Rarity walked up and spoke to them too ‘Thankfully most of Ponyville’s homes are still intact.’

‘And not to mention the old folks homes are also okay,’ said Starlight Glimmer when she had just come from the other side of town ‘Same goes for most of the stores and the preschool down the street. But unfortunately the Cutie Mark Crusader’s school’s a bit trashed.’

‘Then it looks like we’re gonna have to lend a classroom to them in the meantime,’ said Twilight when she thought of a solution to help them ‘I’m sure Miss Cheerilee won’t mind if we shared a…’

With great pace, and also out of breath whilst flying, Spike landed closely to them as he collapsed next to Twilight ‘Twilight…quick…other side…

Twilight quickly helped Spike sit up straight whilst Rarity gave him some water.

‘Now simmer down now Spike,’ said Applejack when she tried to calm Spike down ‘Why don’t you take a deep breath and start from the beginning.’

Spike breathed a bit to calm down, and eventually spoke to them ‘Like I said, I was busy inspecting out of town to see if everything else was still damaged, and I found something strange outside of town.’

‘Something strange?’ said Twilight when she was curious of what Spike was talking about ‘Like what?’

‘Follow me and I’ll show you.’

Spike guided them outside of town to show them what he had seen. They went through broken branches, past falling trees and partially burnt bushes. They were able to reach a clearing and had reached a type of trench. Spike was able to land on a sturdy rock, whilst the Mane 7 slowly stood next to him as he pointed ahead

‘There, you see it?’

They were able to get a good look, and to their surprise, they saw on the center, with a sturdy sandy slope, were three weapons that were well placed as if it were the sword in the stone. On the left was a sword, bearing a scabbard that had demon wings on it.
On the right was a twin sword identical to the other, but its scabbard was different, as it had partial angel wings. But right at the center, was a type of Viking axe, which would resemble to any Viking or Norse god of Asgard or Valhalla.

They were surprised to see what they are, whilst Twilight spoke to Rarity, Applejack and Starlight ‘Girls, give me a hoof here.’

Applejack used her lasso to successfully pull the swords and axe out of the ground, whilst Twilight, Rarity and Starlight used their magic to pull them towards them. Twilight placed them on the ground in a neat line so that they could take a better look at it whilst they stood around it.

‘Whoa,’ said Applejack when she saw them up close ‘Ah never seen weapons like that before.’

‘They do look a bit tacky.’ said Rarity whilst she felt partially disturbed by the way they were designed.

‘And frightfully sharp.’ said Fluttershy when she was nervous near them.

‘Is it just me, or do I have a bad vibe from these things.’ said Spike when he had a weird feeling about the weapons.

‘Pff, oh come on Spike you’re exaggerating,’ said Twilight whilst she rolled her eyes, whilst she slowly began to reach for them to prove that there was nothing wrong with them ‘They’re just a pair of swords and an axe, how could they possibly…’

Within a split second, she instantly saw a scary image with a scary type of roar that sounded like a grunt, causing her to yelp whilst she retracted her hoof, and instantly sat down. The girls could see that she looked scared and were quickly going to her to see if she’s alright. ‘Darling what happened?’ said Rarity when she took a closer look.

‘I saw,’ said Twilight whilst she was still trying to recover from her shock ‘I saw something scary. Terrifying even.’

‘Still think I’m exaggerating now?’ said Spike whilst he crossed his arms and looked at Twilight with a cocked eyebrow.

‘I think you can mark that one down as “Amazingly accurate” Spike.’ said Starlight when she was surprised that Spike had great instinct.

Rainbow looked at them again, and to her shock, she recognized what they were. ‘No way, that’s it!!’ said Rainbow Dash whilst she pointed at the weapons ‘That’s what I saw last night!!’

‘Wait, what?’ said Applejack whilst she was surprised by what Rainbow revealed ‘How?’

Rainbow Dash then explained what she had seen ‘When I was busy trying to clear the clouds, I saw a creature bearing those swords whilst fending off a bunch of creatures that had wings and were wearing some kind of totem or something, allowing them to control and shoot lightning.’

‘Creatures?’ said Twilight confused by Rainbow Dash’s description of what she saw ‘What creatures?’

Rainbow Dash quickly flew back to Ponyville to fetch a parchment and a quill. She flew back and drew as best she could to show them what they looked like. After she was done, she threw the quill away and showed them ‘This is what they look like.’

She showed them a picture of a man sized bat, bearing a green totem of sorts, which surprised the girls in the process, with Fluttershy curling behind Applejack whilst she shivered with fear.

‘Ooh, that looks like a weird looking bat.’ said Pinkie Pie when she saw the creature.’

Spike suddenly had the urge to barf whilst he held his gut and mouth at the same time. Within an instant, Spike burped out a bit of fire, creating a scroll in the process. Twilight was surprised to see a parchment, meaning it had to be a message from Celestia. She quickly opened the letter, read through it and looked surprised at the same time, whilst she looked at her friends

‘Princess Celestia has quickly called us to Canterlot. We need to get there immediately.’

‘Well what are we waiting for,’ said Starlight ‘Let’s go.’

‘Wait,’ said Spike when he gained their attention ‘What about those?’

They looked at the weapons, whilst feeling nervous around them, until Pinkie had an idea ‘Ooh, why don’t we wrap them in a blanket, we can take them with us.’

Pinkie wrapped the blankets around the weapons and regrouped with Twilight, allowing her to teleport herself and her friends to Canterlot to see the Princess. But unknown to them, they were being watched by a stranger as he was wrapped around strange drapes from within the woods itself.

Within a split second, they landed in the middle of Canterlot, with Twilight instructing them ‘Alright, once we arrive, we can tell the princess about…’

She instantly stopped as she was shocked, for when they arrived, half of Canterlot were in ruins, as many of the construction ponies began to rebuild the town and the medical ponies came to check on the wounded civilians and soldiers. ‘What…what happened here?’ said Fluttershy when she was just as shocked as the others were.

At the same time, they heard a familiar voice and looked above, seeing their old friend Flash Magnus directing most of the Pegasi guards ‘Alright, you and your team go to the east and check on the barracks and make sure the rest of the recruits are okay. And you, go to the west and check up on the schools, there are a ton of scared fillies out there and they need to be well taken care of, so let’s move out.’

The Pegasi guards saluted and flew in different directions. Flash Magnus saw the Mane 7 down below, whilst also surprised to see them, flew towards them, and landed right in front of them ‘Twilight, I didn’t know you’d be here. Sorry about the mess.’

‘Flash, what happened here?’ said Rainbow Dash when she was surprised to see all the destruction all over Canterlot.

‘A violent storm broke out here, nearly destroyed everything in their path. The weather teams here did what they could but they could barely contain it. It was so out of control, it send half of them to the hospital.’

‘Wait,’ said Twilight when she was surprised by the news ‘So the storm nearly destroyed both of Ponyville, and Canterlot?’

‘You didn’t hear?’ said Flash Magnus when he was surprised that they didn’t know ‘The storm didn’t just hit Ponyville and Canterlot, it also hit every town and city throughout Equestria, even beyond the borders with the rest of our allies’ kingdoms.’

The Mane 7 and Spike were shocked by the news, with Starlight starting off with ‘Wait, the storm happened all over the kingdom and beyond it?’

‘Right,’ said Flash when he placed his shield on his back ‘Princess Celestia decided to call every leader throughout Equestria to help investigate the cause of the problem, even the leaders of every kingdom beyond Equestria’s borders are here.’

‘What about the rest of the Pillars?’ said Applejack when she was concerned for the others ‘Are they okay?’

‘They’re fine, but they were just as shocked when they found out what happened to their home, so they came to Celestia for help. Only we didn’t know it was just as bad as here.’

‘Where are the pillars now?’ said Spike out of curiosity.

‘They’re in the throne room with the Princesses. They’re afraid things might escalate out of control, so they’re doing what they could to help trying to find a diplomatic solution. I can take you there if you like.’

‘Of course,’ said Pinkie when she was concerned ‘We wouldn’t want our friends to get hurt.’

All of them rushed over to Canterlot Castle’s throne room. But at the same time, the strange creature wearing drapes was slowly following them, but was also wobbly at the same time, not being able to walk right.

An hour later, all of them had arrived in the throne room, where many of the leaders were meeting Celestia. Luckily for them, Luna, Cadance and Shining Armour are with her to help them resolve things. But whilst the rest of the Mane 7, even Spike and Flash Magnus are trying to resolve things, Twilight walked over to Celestia with worry and concern on her face ‘Princess Celestia, what happened?’

‘Twilight, thank the day and night you’re alright. Is Ponyville alright?’

‘They are Princess, but what happened, how did it happen?’

‘We do not know,’ said Luna when she showed just as much concern ‘We’ve never seen anything like this. All of our weather Pegasi were greatly wounded trying their best to repel the storm from destroying Canterlot.’

‘What about the Crystal Empire?’ said Twilight when she was also worried about her brother, sister in law and niece.

‘It was just as bad Twiley,’ said Shining Armour when he stood next to her sister ‘We had to evacuate most of them underground to escape from the storm.’

‘We nearly lost the Crystal Heart too,’ said Cadance whilst she held onto Flurry Heart ‘But thankfully it held back the worst parts of the storm before it could do any damage.’

Twilight began to think that if the creatures Rainbow Dash saw had any connection to what happened. Celestia noticed and gained her attention ‘Twilight, is there something wrong?’

Twilight decided to tell the princess of what Rainbow Dash had seen ‘Well see Princess, when Rainbow Dash tried to clear the weather when Ponyville also got struck by this strange phenomenon, she encountered strange creatures from above.’

‘Creatures?’ said Celestia when she was curious ‘What kind of creatures?’

‘They looked like this Princess.’ said Twilight whilst she used her magic to project an image of the creature.

The Princesses were surprised to see the creature, for they had not seen it before. That was, until Dragon Lord Ember noticed and were shocked when she saw it herself. She walked up to Twilight by grabbing her and shook her a few times whilst she said ‘Where did you see that thing?’

‘Wait,’ said Twilight whilst she was shocked at the same time ‘You know what that thing is?’

‘It’s…it’s an…’ said Ember when she looked at it ‘Anteroom.’

The Dragons were shocked to hear the name, as well as a handful of creatures. ‘A what now?’ said Rainbow Dash whilst she was confused of what kind of creature it is.

‘Ah’ve heard of it.’ said one of the Pillars, Mage Meadowbrook whilst she took a step forward ‘While ah was attending to the dragons’ pain when we had just been united before we stopped the Sirens, they told me the story of those creatures.’
‘Then all means.’ said Prince Rutherford ‘Please tell Yaks and creatures what they are.’

‘Gladly your highness.’ said Mage Meadowbrook, whilst she cleared her voice and told them the story. ‘Long time ago, long before Pony kind or any creature ever existed, there were an ancient race of creatures that walked on two legs and do not wear any fur, but strange clothing. They once lived in harmony, but overtime they no longer worshipped their gods. So Galahad, the king of the gods, along with his brothers and sisters, ended up waging war against them, using any horrific manner of creature unimaginable to eradicate them. But they retaliated and fought a war so terrifying, it ravaged this world, thus driving each other to the near brink of extinction. Since then, the beings that lived in this world, moved on to the next one where they could be safe, whilst their gods, no longer being able to stay among the waking world, ended up encasing themselves in deep sleep, never waking themselves to this world ever again. After that, all knowledge of their kind were erased, leaving them to be nothing but stories.’

Many of them were surprised by the story. ‘Wait,’ said Rutherford when he realized something ‘If knowledge of them no longer existed, how come dragons know about this?’

‘I can answer that,’ said Dragon Lord Ember when she took a step forward ‘There was an ancient legend that Dragons used to live in this world long before any creature ever existed, but remained hidden because their kind use to hunt dragons. But after the lands were ravaged, the unicorns of old used up all their magic to recreate this world so that we could have a chance to be free again.’

Spike realized something and walked over to Twilight, poking her and gaining her attention as she looked at him ‘Twilight, you don’t think that the creatures of old Meadowbrook told us about are the exact same people from Canterlot High do you?’

Twilight was surprised and agreed with Spike ‘You could be right, there may be some logical explanation.’

‘I see, but how did these creatures resurface?’ said Princess Celestia when she tried to piece it together ‘They must have a reason to have resurfaced again.’

Twilight then thought about something else, then spoke to Celestia. ‘I think I might know,’ said Twilight whilst she gained her attention ‘Rainbow said that whilst she saw the Anteroom, she saw another creature fighting them.’

‘Fighting them?’ said Celestia when she was surprised by the news.

‘Yes, but at the same time,’ said Twilight whilst she placed a blanket on the ground ‘He was armed with these.’

She took off the blanket and showed them the war axe and two swords. Leaving many surprised when they saw them. Luna walked over and stood near them ‘Where did you find these?’

‘We found them outside of Ponyville Princess.’ said Applejack when she stood near Twilight.

‘Right, and it left behind a massive crater too.’ said Rarity whilst she did the same.

‘They’re very scary.’ said Fluttershy when she hid behind Twilight.

Princess Luna slowly placed her hoof on one of the weapons ‘They do not look so….’ but was immediately cut off, for within a split second, she instantly saw a scary image with a scary type of roar that sounded like a grunt, causing her to yelp whilst she retracted her hoof, and instantly sat down, surprising Celestia as she ran down and held onto her sister.
‘Luna, are you alright?’ said a worried Celestia.

Luna, with a shockened reaction on her face, grabbed Celestia and spoke to her ‘Sister, do not go near them, I sense an unspeakable evil on them.’. She looked at the swords and war axe ‘They are nothing like I’ve ever seen or felt.’
Celestia, now looking at them, with worry on her face too, looked at Twilight ‘Twilight, please assist us.’

With the combined powers of Twilight, Cadance, Shining Armour and Luna, Celestia was able to encase them with a special wrappings around the weapons to contain them so that no creature could use, bear or touch them. ‘What are we going to do about them Princess?’ said Twilight when she was just as worried.

‘We lock them away,’ said Celestia when she was now concerned for the safety and well being of her fellow ponies and their allies ‘And solve the reason why they’re here.’

‘Halt!!’ shouted the guards for some reason, gaining their attention. But to their surprise, they saw a hooded figure entering the throne room, weary, exhausted, as well as not having the strength to go on any further. Some kept their guard up, especially the Mane 7 when they didn’t want to take any chances.

‘Who are you, why are you here?’ said Celestia, demanding the hooded figure to reveal itself.

The hooded figure continued to walk, whilst speaking weakly ‘Please…help.’

The hood was ripped and slowly slipped off the stranger’s body. And to many of their shock, they saw a bearded white Stallion as tall as Celestia, but bared a horn as well as silver Alicorn wings. He was battered, bruised, and could barely see. He muttered one more time ‘Please…help.’

No longer having the strength, he passed out and collapsed on the ground. Many were shocked to see a male Alicorn as they surrounded him, looking at him in shock. ‘A Stallion Alicorn?!’ said a shocked Twilight when she didn’t believe what she had been seeing.

‘Celestia, what does this mean?’ said Cadance when she looked at Celestia.

‘I…I do not know,’ she replied confusingly ‘I really do not know.’
