The Sage of Equestria

It didn't take them long to travel to Ponyville while riding the train. It only took to noon. Soon they pulled into the town's station, and got off. "Welcome to Ponyville." Twilight told them.

"Seems nice and peaceful." said Sakura.

"Don't let the look fool you." Twilight told her.

"What do you mean?" asked Sakura.

"Ponyville has it's fair share of disasters." Twilight said.

"Like what?" asked Naruto.

"Well, dragons, ursas, hydras. All kinds of stuff." she told them.

"Really?" asked Naruto.

"Yeah. And we take care of them all." bragged Dash.

"Wow." said Sakura.

"Yeah. How about I tell you the time we rescued Rarity from the diamond dogs." Dash said.

"I'm worried Tia." said Luna, "What if that fox demon is back?"

"It can't be back Lu-Lu." Celestia assured her.

"But you saw the colt." said Luna, "You felt his powers. I'm sure its back!"

"Luna! You know what happened. It CAN'T be back." Celestia said, loosing some of her composure. Luna lowered her head.

"I know Sister, but what if... What if Mom and Dad failed?" said Luna, "What if it is back?"

"LUNA!" she yelled, "Our parents gave their lives to rid Equestria of that demon! There's no way it can be back!" Luna hung her head.

"I'm sorry Sister." she said, leaving. As she did a certain day came to mind.

Flashback

It was a very long time ago. Soon after Equestria was founded. Celestia and Luna were no more than nine, and it was a very peaceful time. No Nightmare Moon, no Discord, no anything. It was a time of harmony and peace. That was not to last too long though.

Luna and Celestia's parents were the rulers of this land in that time of peace and prosperity. Their mother ruled, and brought about the day while their father ruled, and brought about the night. Then one night the Nine Tailed Fox appeared. Nopony knew from which the demon originated, but such power was unheard of.

Since it was a time of peace nopony had ever heard of such violence or destruction, and didn't know how to fight back. The demon easily destroyed anything on it's path, and had nearly reached Canterlot. The king and queen had flew out to fight the demon, but it's strength proved to much for them.

Summoning upon the last vestiges of their strength, their horns glowed with the light of the day and the night. They then cast a spell that would send the demon away from Equestria. As they were surrounded by the magic, their father spoke his last words to them.

"Celestia, you and your sister are now the rulers of this land." he had said, "Protect her, and this land with all of your might. We love you." With that, there was a blinding flash of light, brighter than the sun itself, and they and the demon had dissapeared.

Unknown to everypony else, they had cast the ultimate teleportation spell. One that ripped through the fabric of space and time, and flung them into the void. The demon fell from the sky, with no trace of the king and queen. It got up, and looked around, wondering where it was.

It knew that wherever it was now, it was most definitely not in Equestria. This land was filled with an even more abundant, and concentrated magic. It also realized that it was weak. It decided it would rest up in this new world, and take in the abundance of magic it had to offer.

End flashback.

Luna looked to the sun in the sky, and let out a sad sigh. "I sure hope you're right sister." she said.

"And that's our little town." Applejack said, finishing her tour.

"Seems nice." said Sakura.

"Thanks sugarcube." said Applejack, "But you ain't seen the best part yet. Welcome to Sweet Apple Acres." The farmer gestured towards her farm. Just then a yellow filly with a red mane came hopping out of the house followed by a bigger red stallion.

"Hey Sis, who are these ponies?" the filly asked.

"These are the guards Princess Celestia hired." Applejack told her, "Applebloom meet Thunderclap, Orange Citrus, and Cherry blossom. Guys meet my little sister, Applebloom, and my brother Big Mac."

"It's nice to meet you." said Kakashi.

"Eeyup." said Big Mac.

"Oh! Can you help me get my cutie mark?" asked Applebloom.

"Applebloom, leave them alone." said Applejack, who then turned to Team 7, "Sorry 'bout that. Anyways while you're here why don't you stay for dinner?"

"No. We wouldn't want to be a burden." Kakashi told her.

"Nonsense. I insist." she said, "And I won't take no for an answer." With that, the nine ponies headed inside. Soon enough the ninjas, and ponies were sitting down at a table filled with assorted apple goods. "You outdid yourself this time Big Mac." Applejack said to her brother.

"Eeyup." he said, proudly. While they ate, Twilight noticed something about the guards. Even though they were unicorns, they were using their hooves to eat instead of magic.

"Why don't you use the levitation spell to help you eat?" Twilight asked them.

"We don't know it." Kakashi told her.

"What do you mean you don't know it?!" she asked, "It's the most basic spell a unicorn can learn!" Kakashi just sighed, and finished eating. After they finished eating they decided who would stay with who. Rarity was quick to claim Kakashi as her own, Sakura stayed with Fluttershy, and Naruto stayed with Twilight while three of his clones stayed with the others.

When they reached their destination it was getting to be night time, so they all decided to go to bed. All but one studious unicorn. She took out a piece of parchment, and a quill, and started writing.

Dear Princess Celestia,

You told me to inform you if I found anything else strange about the guards. I have found out today that none of them have ever used, or even heard of the levitation spell, even though it is the most basic of magic that unicorns have. I will continue to observe them, and report anything else strange to you.

Your faithful student,

Twilight Sparkle

She rolled up the scroll, and levitated it to her assistant. "Spike, send this please." she said.

"Sure." he said, taking it, "But who's that pony?"

"That's one of the guards Princess Celestia hired to guard us." Twilight told him.

"But isn't he a little young to be a guard?" he asked, "He looks to be my age."

"Yes Spike, I know." she said, "Can you just send the scroll please?"

"Will do." he said, taking a breath, and then breathing a green jet of flame, burning the scroll, and sending it to the Princess. Twilight let out a yawn.

"We should probably get some sleep now." she said.

"Agreed." said Spike.

Very far away sat a dark castle. Inside the castle, a dark green alicorn with razor sharp teeth, and blood red eyes, and mane, sat in the throne. This was no normal pony however. He was the one who created Discord to bring chaos to Equestria, and the one who used Luna's insecurities to turn her into Nightmare Moon.

He let out an evil laugh. "I see the Nine Tails has returned." he said, "And this time I'll use it to rule Equestria for sure!"
