....06:59:11....

The time had come for the beginning of the day as Twilight rose the sun, but now it was time for the guards to do their duties. They had to go and get the Grand Duchess and King of Maretonia, along with other rulers from different kingdoms ready for the summit. Luckily, before they departed, Nathan had approached in his armor with his friend Kyle, who had brought over the Dallas S.W.A.T. and several police officers with him from the Crystal Empire's heart portal. So now that the royal leaders who were gonna arrive had extra backup guarding that was armed, they thought nothing bad would happen.

Anyway, Princess Twilight had managed to join alongside Nathan and Kyle as they awaited for the arrival of the Equestrian leaders. Guards stood at every corner from royal guards to the S.W.A.T. officers and Army soldiers armed with high powered assault rifles cocked and ready for any type of threat that would happen, plus there was also a massive crowd of ponies that came from all over Equestria to greet the leaders with joy.

"You know Nathan, it's really good to actually help with something big here for a change." said Kyle.

"Yeah, and thanks for volunteering to help us, we'd figure we could use some real guardin'."

"And I thank you as well for bringing extra protection Kyle."

"With all due respect your majesty, call me Chief Welder."

"Okay." she responded.

Pretty soon, the guard sergeant Zodiac had managed to arrive just in time as well. But unlike the others who were really happy for this, Zodiac was the exact opposite, he showed a look of great concern.

"Sergeant Zodi, glad you made it." said Twilight.

"Good to see you sir." said Kyle, but Zodi kept his concerning expression locked in place.

"I'm not so sure we should be doing this." he said.

"Zodi, if this is another part of your phony story about the ghostly voices again...." said Twilight.

"No your majesty, you don't understand, I saw my mother in a ghostly form last night. She told me that there is going to be an attack soon." he said, but the only response he got was laughter.

"You can't be serious man." said Kyle.

"There's no such thing as ghosts." said Nathan.

"You probably just had a bad dream." said Kyle.

"Besides, there hasn't been a threat since Tirek and Chrysalis were imprisoned in stone by Discord." said Twilight

Discord scoffed, "Precisely, no one could ever escape stone."

"Besides, what could happen?" asked Spike.

"I can assure you all, Tirek and Chrysalis are NOT in stone!" exclaimed Zodi.

"Zodi please shut up!" said Nathan in an annoyed tone.

"Look!" said Kyle pointing his finger at the sky, the others looked up and heard the sound of whooshing through the clouds. From the blue skies came down six carriages, the first two in the lead being pulled by royal guards contained the Grand Duchess and King of Maretonia while the others consisted of Skyla and Flurry Heart from the Crystal Empire, with other rulers from beyond the limits of the kingdom coming down for business with their newest ruler.

Meanwhile, from inside an abandoned building that was heavily shadowed, Thunder Clash hid and looked at the carriages descending from the sky. As he watched them land, he then went over to a bag that contained a rifle and a detonator, he levitated the detonator but kept the rifle in its place when the real attack was to unfold. Once he had the remote device firmly in place, he waited until the last possible moment as he gave an evil silent cackle.

"Oh you'll see Zodiac is telling the truth once I start it all." he said.

Back at the castle's entrance, the crowds cheered as the carriages landed safely and softly in front of Twilight and the others, the first ones to greet our crew were none other than Skyla and Flurry Heart.

"Aunt Twilight!" they exclaimed, Twilight showed a open smile and hugged them.

"It's good to see you two." she said.

"Hey, don't Ah' get a share?" asked Nathan opening up a hoof, Skyla and Flurry Heart giggled as they saw their brother.

"It's so good to see you big brother." said Flurry Heart.

Nathan laughed, he then turned and saw the other rulers get off their carriages and approach the main crew as well.

"Grand Duchess, King, it is a pleasure to have you all here to discuss further plans for the next two days." said Princess Twilight as she stood beside her nephew and nieces.

"Good to see you Princess Twilight." said the Maretonian King.

"We are deeply sorry for the loss of Princess Celestia." said the Grand Duchess.

"Well she's in a better place now, we still have Luna." said Nathan, "Ah' don't know how much longer though."

Zodiac was now even more fearful, because he had a strange feeling that whatever Tirek and Chrysalis did to escape from their stone prison, involved killing Luna off first, yet he did his best to keep his own thoughts hidden.

"Well now that you've arrived safely, why don't we show you to your quarters." said Kyle as he signaled the way into the castle. Soon they walked up the streets as the crowds watched, but within the crowds, a group of the A.F.A. terrorist humans disguised as ponies pressed a secret button that activated a device that Thunder Clash wore on his right forehoof. Thunder heard the device beeping as he lifted up his hoof and turned it on.

"Is everything ready?" he asked through the com.

"Yes."

"Do it!" the disguised human whispered, Thunder Clash then cackled as he readied the remote detonator.

We soon returned to our main crew as they finished speaking and were approaching the doors, Zodiac walked beside Nathan and soon showed a little sympathy as the guards and army officers escorted them towards the gates that led into the city.

"I guess I was wrong, I guess my mother was wrong, there is no danger at all." he said, but when they got closer to the entrance of the castle, all of a sudden.............

BOOM, EXPLODE, CRASH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

They were soon jolted by the sound of a huge explosion behind them, they quickly turned to see almost every carriage that the leaders arrived in had been blown up into the air then crashed back to the ground again. This made the massive crowd that came to see everything quickly run away and scream in terror, causing some of the S.W.A.T. officers and army soldiers to point their rifles at the air. Kyle on the other hand looked into the scattering frightened crowd and saw there were two ponies that weren't running or screaming.

Suddenly.............

BOOM, EXPLODE, CRASH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Another explosion took them by surprise, only this time, it caused Princess Twilight and several royal guards, along with three S.W.A.T. officers to fly backwards. Luckily, they all survived without any scratches or bruises, but Twilight was not so lucky, for the blast from the explosion burned her face and broke several bones in her. The army soldiers and navy pointed their rifles at the air to whatever was happening.

"AUNT TWILIGHT!!!!!" Flurry Heart screamed while Skyla hid behind her brother in fear, Zodiac went straight back to concern as he watched the crowds panic and scream. Meanwhile, Kyle saw two ponies in the crowd who were not screaming or panicking nor running, instead they gave motion expressions as if they were plotting something.

These two ponies then activated belts that were strapped around them and they transformed into.....humans!

Kyle saw that these two humans had on what looked like Taliban terrorist clothing and they were carrying tote bags, but he knew that whatever was in those bags was not good. He watched them walk up to the gate and put down their bags as he put his right hand on his gun holster.

"Hey!" hey shouted at them, but they did not even notice him.

""HEY!!!!!!" he screamed again, this time they took notice of him, but showed aggressive expressions.

"HEY, GET THE FUCK DOWN!!!!!!" Kyle yelled as he drew his gun out and pointed it at them, one terrorist unzipped his bag and pulled out a detonator, Kyle fired two bullets and killed that one. Sadly, the other terrorist was quicker and activated a detonator that was strapped to him and exploded himself causing a big chunk of the gate to blow open and making Kyle stumble backwards.

On the other side of the gate, several royal guards and solders were panicked and looking around when all of a sudden, one pony levitated a spear and stabbed two other guards. He then activated a device same as the other two who blew up the gate and he was transformed into a terrorist wearing black clothing and he drew a gun out and shot three other guards. Soon more of these ponies quickly grabbed, subdued, and kicked weapons out of the guards and soldiers transforming into human terrorists from Boko Haram and MS-13, while others outside the gate transformed into them as well, eight of them pulled out smoke flare guns and fired smoke flares into the direction of the guards.

Once the smoke flares kept the protectors of the kingdom distracted, these transformed humans then put on sunglasses, bandanas, and balaclavas. Then they reached into their tote bags and pulled out guns, cocking them and getting them ready for attack. Nathan and Zodi managed to fight off some of them from inside the gate, but they were outnumbered and overpowered, Twilight could barely stand up as four terrorists pinned her and pointed AK's at her.

Three soldiers started beating and shooting at several terrorists as Kyle started to pull out his radio.

"10-33 10-33!" he said through clenched teeth due to pain from the explosion, but all he got was static, "Oh dammit!"

Author's Note

Wow it looks like Tirek and Chrysalis really want death now.

What will become of Equestria now?!

How will Nathan and others react to seeing Zodiac was right about Celestia's warning?!

WHAT WILL HAPPEN TO TWILIGHT AND EVERYPONY ELSE?!

Find out soon!

(P.S. how Tirek, Thunder, and Chrysalis managed to bring terrorists from our world to there will forever remain a mystery. But I can betcha they secretly hid some stolen magic from the others when Discord imprisoned them in stone all those years ago.)
