It's a bright sunny day in the land of Equestria. Ponyville is the same town it always has been, nothing seems to be awry except for the golden clad stallion stepping off friendship express. Upon looking around he found a pony, a local.

"Miss!?" He shouted half panicked getting the yellow mare's attention.

"Uh, yes?" Carrot Top replied with a nervous smile.

"I need to find Princess Twilight. Where is she?" The guard looked around.

"Um. Try her castle?" Carrot Top replied incredulously.

"Right, thank you miss," The guard sprinted off in the direction of the Castle of Friendship.

Carrot Top rolled her eyes.

"You would think a guard would know where to find a princess..."

The guard ran through town navigating his way to the front doors of Twilights castle. With the momentum of a bull, he ran through the front door the metal doors bouncing off the walls from the force of the impact.

"Princess Twilight!?" The guard shouted as he began his search.

He went room to room growing frantic as he went.

"Buck. Where is she?" The guard grunted to himself before he heard a voice.

"Can I help you with something?" The voice of Starlight Glimmer reached his ears and he turned to face her cautiously.

"Where is Princess Twilight? I have urgent news that requires her immediate attention." The guard commanded.

"Oh! I can help you with that, I can take you to her." Starlight smiled.

"Lead the way, and make haste!" The guard stepped closer as Starlight lit her horn.

"Wait, wait!" The guard shrieked as Starlight activated her spell teleporting them to Twilight's office.

The guard landed and immediately fell over in a daze.

Twilight who was filling out school reports was obviously startled by the sudden entrance of her student and a guard.

"What's this?" Twilight stood up and came around her desk.

Starlight gestured to the guard.

"This guard has some important information for you," she turned her head with a smile only to grimace at the state of the guard who lay on the ground with stars in his eyes.

"Uh, I hope that information wasn't too important," Starlight laughed nervously.

"Starlight, I thought we had been over this," Twilight scolded. Starlight pinned her ears.

"Sorry..."

"It's ok, let's make sure he's ok, and then you can apologize after," Twilight sighed moving towards the guard.

"Now," Twilight nudged the guard who seemed to be coming around.

"Are you ok?" Twilight caught his gaze.

Just then the door to her office flew open and a Lunar guard charged in.

"Princess! Get away from the imposter!" The mare took flight making a beeline for Twilight and the guard.

Twilight looked away for a fraction of a second and the golden clad guard reached and pulled a red-glowing sword from his sheath and looked at Twilight with murder in his eyes.

Starlight saw this and raised a hoof.

"Twilight! Watch out!"

Twilight turned again and a look of horror crossed her face as the blade poised ready to strike. Twilight froze as an outside force slammed into her throwing her onto the sofa in her office, this was followed by a scream of pain as the blade sliced into the Lunar guard who had shoved Twilight out of the way.

Just then numerous other Lunar and Solar Guards Pegasi crashed through the window while a unicorn and two earth ponies charged through the door.

"Hurry, protect the princess!" The Unicorn officer shouted as the Pegasi flew across the room to form a barrier between Twilight and the "guard."

The imposter seeing his window beginning to vanish charged for Twilight.

The unicorn officer took action grabbing the imposter in his magic and throwing him away from Twilight.

"No!" He yelled as he slammed into the wall and was set upon by the two earth ponies and two more Unicorns who came into the room.

"Get the Princess out of here!" The officer yelled.

"Twilight?" Starlight approached only to have a spear leveled at her.

"Get back!" The guard pony shouted at her forcing her back.

"The unicorn formed a protective shield while the two Pegasi spread their wings over Twilight's withers and head forcing her head down.

"We must move Princess, follow us," The unicorn shouted.

"Coming out with the Princess!" The officer shouted leaving behind Starlight with the four ponies who were busy cuffing the imposter and a bleeding guard who was gasping for breath.

Starlight rushed to the white mare and looked around for anything to use to help her.

Meanwhile outside the halls were in chaos a mixture of solar and lunar guards forming a barrier.

Rarity came strolling down the hall to find the cause of the commotion.

"What the devil is all this ruckus about, it's disrupting my class." Rarity marched up to the guard nearest to her who made way for her. Only for Rarity to stop.

"Well?" Rarity asked again.

"There was an attempt made of the Princesses life Ms. Rarity."

"What?!" Rarity shrieked in an unladylike manner.

"Go, go, go!" The unicorn officer ushered Twilight passed them who seemed too shocked to even do anything to stop what was happening.

By now students were lining the halls curious as to all the commotion as guards leveled their spears to keep the crowd at bay.

"What's going on?"

"Where are they taking thew headmare?!"

"Get back, now!"

"Is the Princess ok?"

Rarity pushed past the guard who retook his position and leveled his spear.

"Rarity! What's going on?" Rainbow came flying in over the guards who did nothing to stop her.

"Rainbow collect the girls and meet me in the map room," Rarity shouted up the Rainbow. who crossed her hooves.

"Can you just tell me what's going on?!" Rainbow huffed.

"No time to explain now, I'll tell you everything in the map room!" Rarity took off at a gallop to catch up with Twilight and the guards.

Rarity then turned and rushed after Twilight and the guards.
