New Sun

"Seven years dungeon, all of you!" Queen Eclipse shouted. "No trials, no exceptions!" Then she turned around and left the poor ponies to their grim fate. The guards started pushing all of them, and if somepony didn't move, it wouldn't be nice to watch.

She walked through the Canterlot castle. It had been a place for happiness and joy, but now everything was darker. And darker it would get.

Finally she reached the place she was going, to meet an old friend. She opened the doors and saw her friend already sitting in one of the towers chairs. She didn't give him a look, just continued to the balcony and looked out from it. The stress of everything to go wrong was strong.

"How soon is the time?" she asked. Outside she saw misery, sorrow, even death. But these were just steps she would have to take, in order to the plan to go right.

"I just need to make the final preparations, then the time will come. You don't have to be nervous, it will all be fine." The friend came to her side at the balcony and they both looked out form it. "This is necessary. You knew that this would come."

"But-," Queen Eclipse started. She had tried to come up with something smart to say in this conversation but her head was now empty.

"No buts. You need to take all that is left from Celestia, and let it go. You know, you have to do this."

"Yes, yes I do. But I thought not this soon." Eclipse hit her right hoof to the ground.

"The age of Celestia has gone, and the age of new dawn will come…" her friend said.

*Five months earlier*

"Spike!"

A small, purple dragon popped his head out from the library, "What is it Twilight?

"Where is the book called "Natural Wonders"?" Twilight asked behind a huge pile of books.

"I think it's over here," Spike said, grabbed the ladder and climbed to get the book. "Yeah here it- *burp*!"

"What is it Spike?" Twilight asked. She looked a bit of afraid as she didn't want Spike to burn the book.

Spike looked back from the book, but couldn't hold it. He burped fire and a letter came from it. Twilight quickly caught the letter and started to read it.

"What does it say?" Spike asked and tried to have a look at the letter but Twilight wouldn't let him.

"Princess wants to see me in her castle as quickly as possible," Twilight said to Spike with a confused look on her face.

"Oh cool, I'll go pack our things!" Spike started to rush towards their room.

"Only me," Twilight says behind the letter.

"Huh?"

"Princess wants only me to come, all alone."

"That's odd…" Spike thought aloud.

"Yes it is… But still it's the princess so I have to go! Bye!" Twilight said and rushed out of the library, and started going towards the train station.

When she finally got in the train she read the letter again. The letter was not like one of the ordinaries she got from Celestia. The letter stated this:

"My faithful student Twilight.

I have now seen that Equestria needs to be changed. Big changes are going to be made, and I need you to be my assistant while the changes are being made. That's why I need you to come to the castle immediately, and only you. ONLY YOU!

Yours only, Queen Eclipse"

Big changes, Twilight thought, what could that mean? And why is the letters writer named Queen Eclipse? A lot of questions whirled trough Twilight's mind, and nothing could settle her. She only could guess, but knew that she would find out soon enough.

When Twilight came to the Canterlot station, she noticed right off the bat some things. There were guards yet again everywhere, but they were all in black, just like Luna's guards. And they were not nice ones. They pushed ponies around and told orders to them. In one corner, some stallion was getting beaten up. Twilight was horrified what she saw. She thought that she had to go to tell the princess what was happening in here.

"Are you Twilight Sparkle?" One guard had sneaked up on her while she was thinking. The guard looked even more horrifying up close than from distance. The guard was dressed in pitch-black armor and had a helmet on that had eclipse in its front side.

"Umm… Yes…" Twilight finally answered when she got courage to talk.

"The queen is waiting for you, follow me," the guard said and started walking. Twilight couldn't think straight. There were way too many questions. Why were there guards like these? Who is this mysterious leader and what had happened to Celestia?

Not even while walking the streets of Canterlot were her mind settled. When she had last time visited this place it was full of elegance, happiness and laughter. Now, the streets were covered in sorrow. A foal crying for her mom, ponies that looked like they hadn't ate for weeks, ponies kicked out from their homes. Twilight couldn't understand that what was going on.

When they finally reached the castle, Twilight had thought many questions she would ask. But then, she looked around her. The castle had been changed. Everything was darker. The windows had been shaded, the castle had been repainted black and all of the flags had been replaced with flags that had eclipses in them.

"The queen is in the throne room," the guard said and let Twilight go by herself.

She walked to the throne room door, and opened it. Then, she saw the queen.

"Princess Celestia…?" Twilight asked slowly.

The alicorn turned slowly around and looked at Twilight. She looked just like Celestia except she had black coat and, somehow, her mane was in many shades of black. The alicorn closed the door with her magic, and even her magic aura was black.

"I am not called with that name anymore. I am now referred as "Queen Eclipse." Queen works too." Queen Eclipse said. "But it's really good that you are finally here."

"Princess what is this? The guards were beating up people at the train station!" Twilight shouted.

"Didn't you get my letter?" Eclipse said with no expression.

"Y-yes I did," Twilight answered. She had not been excepting a question like that.

"And didn't I tell you in the letter that there are going to be changes. I just tested those changes in here," Eclipse answered without any emotion.

________________________________________________________________________________

*Six months later*

Darnicus was walking in the main corridor of the castle. Its walls were painted with blood, and dead bodies. The time has come, he thought. He looked at the door to the throne room. Two ponies came to his side and one of them told him: "I saw Twilight go in there! She can't beat Queen Eclipse on her own!"

"We cannot interfere," Darnicus said.

"What do you mean?" the other pony asked.

"What happens now is out of your, even mine, reach. We will just wait, and see what happens."

"Screw that!" the second pony said and started running to the door.

Darnicus set fireball on his hand and threw it on the poor pony. The poor pony burned to ashes in seconds. Darnicus turned around said to the first pony: "Nopony is allowed to go in there. Do you understand?"

"Y-yes, yes I do," the pony said. She was scared because her friend was burned to ashes in front of her, but she knew that she should do what the robotic minotaur had told her to do.

________________________________________________________________________________

"Why do you need me for these changes?" Twilight asks from Eclipse.

"Because you're my favorite student. And the best. It would be shame if your powers would go waste as a citizen," Eclipse said with no emotion in her voice.

"But what about if I don't want to help you?! You are not Celestia! I don't believe it!" Twilight cried. She couldn't believe that Celestia could turn into heartless monster.

"No, I am not anymore. I am Queen Eclipse. Not Celestia."

Twilight was now crying, crying because her teacher, no, mentor, maybe even secret love, had been turned into something so horrible.

"Soon, the changes will affect everyone on Equestria!" Queen Eclipse shouted and laughed.

"W-wh-what does the changes change?" Twilight asked behind the tears.

"Everything. There will now be taxes, those who do not have jobs become slaves for me, anypony who works in farms have to give 70 percent of their production to me, those kinds of things. I am offering you a position from my side. You would get good meals, be paid good, have many privileges and such. Otherwise you have to become one of the citizens. So will you help me?" Eclipse asked Twilight.

"I-I need to think about this…" Twilight mumbled and you could even hear as her brains ticked.

"I understand. Guards!" Eclipse called. "Escort my student to her chambers. I'll give you two days to make up your mind, then you have to choose."

And so Twilight was dragged into her chamber.

________________________________________________________________________________

Twilight didn't have much sleep for those two days. The chamber she was staying had a bed, a mirror and one table. There were one window where she could see Canterlot, but she didn't watch out much. There wouldn't be anything she would have wanted to see on those streets.

She thought that what could have turned Celestia into Eclipse. She had not seen Luna when she came to castle, maybe she had disappeared and Celestia got mental illness because of it. Or, she had killed Luna. Or maybe Discord had taken control of Celestia. That could explain the grey colors. But the stone Discord was still standing in front of the garden.

Whatever the reason was she would have to choose. Take her offer, and become evil, but with a good life or she could just go back to Ponyville and became citizen, but with really crappy life. It would not be easy to choose…

________________________________________________________________________________

Twilight was going to have to tell Eclipse her answer today. She was not sure if it would be the right answer, but she thought it was the best. She was walking towards the throne room. She had seen some ponies who were going to the dungeons and they were all crying. When she walked into the throne room, Eclipse was already waiting for her.

"Ahh. There you are my student. Have you made your mind?" Eclipse asked curiously.

"Yes. It wasn't an easy choice, but my choice is that I will not help you," Twilight answers and starts crying.

Eclipse looks a little bit of surprised but the emotion wipes off fast. "So it will be then. Guards, escort Twilight here to her home in Ponyville."

The guards took Twilight and started taking her to Ponyville.

________________________________________________________________________________

Twilight was sitting in the train to Ponyville. Her mind was still full of questions. But the best question is "What happens next?" She thought using the Elements of Harmony against Eclipse. That would be the best idea, she thought. If she would have known…

When she reached the Ponyville platform, she saw things she didn't want to see. Eclipse guards. They had taken over Ponyville. Twilight followed the guards who were escorting her to her library. But right when she stepped inside she got scared. All the books were gone!

"Spike!" she shouted. But, there were no answer. "Spike?"

Twilight looked everywhere for Spike, but yet, he was not found. When she looked inside the bathroom (yes she searched from there too) she saw scratches on the mirror. The writing was surely made with a claw. They took me, stated the writing.

Twilight couldn't believe what she was seeing. They had took Spike. Why? The answer was waiting at the library's table. When Twilight walked past it, she saw a letter. She opened and read the letter.

________________________________________________________________________________

*one day earlier*

"So you have her in the castle?"

"Yes. I gave her two days before making her decision," Eclipse told her friend.

"Good. If it goes according the plan she wont come to your side. But there is still one threat…"

"And that is?" Eclipse looked curious.

"The Elements. Twilight may use them against you, in hopes of getting original you back."

"And what do you suggest?" Eclipse asked.

"Break them up. Take everyone and put them in different places."

"As… slaves?"

Her friend nodded slowly.

________________________________________________________________________________

"Eclipse has taken my friends and Spike and made them slaves?!" Twilight shouted aloud.

She had only one thing in her mind now. She had to go to find her friends. She ran to everyponies places, used magic, but nopony was found. Eclipse had really taken her friends. But she could still hop into the train and try to find them.

When she finally got to the train station a guard stopped her.

"Where are you going?" asked the guard with chilling voice.

"Umm… I want to use the train," Twilight answered in hopes of the guard letting her pass.

"Citizens can't use trains," the guard told her, and didn't let her pass. After a few minutes of trying to get around the guard, Twilight gave up.

Twilight didn't want to go home, not yet. She wanted to get a little bit of peace. So she walked. She continued walking even though started raining. She walked, and walked, and finally when she stopped walking, she saw that she had came to Sweet Apple Acres. Then, a little bit of hope came in her mind. She could go and ask Big Mac or Granny Smith that if they would have seen something.

But, when she went inside the farm, she knew she couldn't get answer from here. The farm was full of guards. And slaves. The slaves were collecting apples and tending the farm. The guards were supervising that they would work. She couldn't see Granny Smith or Big Mac in there. Then she lost all the hope, and went back home.

________________________________________________________________________________

*two months later*

Darnicus couldn't wait anymore. He knew that he would have to do this today. But he didn't think this would be an easy one. Eclipse had placed her in one of her cloud ships. It would be full of guards. But she was one part of the plan. When he found Pinkie Pie it was just pure luck. It wouldn't chance things too much. But the prisoner in here was important.

Darnicus was in the lowest floor of the cloud ship. The prisoner was in the tower. It would be hard to sneak past all of the guards. And then there would be the escape part too.

*RUMBLE*

The guards had just thrown something in there. Darnicus thought that he would now have to make his way to tower. He sneaked through the door and started making his way up. In the start it wasn't too hard, he just walked the stairs. But at one point when he was climbing the stairs, he heard two guard ponies coming down.

Crap, Darnicus thought. He quickly went trough the first door he saw. The guards walked past that floor. That was close, He thought. Then he looked around him. He was in a storage of some sort.

"Well, what do we have here…" Darnicus said. There were a box full of parachutes made for ponies. He couldn't use one of those, but the prisoner could. He hadn't really thought about escape, just how to get on board. But this, this would be the best idea for escape.

He continued his way up. After a while, he finally reached the deck. The ship was massive, it had over 30 floors. But the deck was full of guards. They were watching everything. Things happening below, and things happening in the ship. Then he saw one guard walking towards the door he was behind of.

Darnicus hid behind the door, and right when the guard had closed the door, it was sleep time for him. Now again he thought about getting past those guards. He would have to cause a distraction so that he could sneak past them. Then the perfect idea came in his mind.

"The ships on fire!" one of the guards shout. And indeed, one of the floors was on fire. Strangely, nopony thought about how a ship made from clouds could be on fire.

"Everypony, go to the floor over it and stomp the cloud!" a weather pony we all know shouted at the deck.

Darnicus was hiding in the floor just below the deck. Every guard at the deck rushed to the floor over the burning one. Darnicus just walked to the tower as nopony was at the deck.

Darnicus started climbing to the top of tower. The towers top floor was really, really small. There were just one cage and one guard. He didn't spend too much time planning. It was just one guard. Darnicus jumped at the guard and knocked him out. He looked into the cage and there she was. The one he was looking for.

"And who could you be? Actually, what are you?" former farmer pony asked.

"My name is Darnicus. I'll tell the answer for latter later. But now I am going to save you," Darnicus answered. "And I know who you are, Applejack."

"How do you know my name? And how do you think I could get out of here? I can't walk on clouds you know," Applejack asked from Darnicus.

"The, how do you know my name, is not important," Darnicus answered and opened the lock. "And you are going to get out from here with this," Darnicus said and threw a parachute to Applejack. Applejack quickly equipped the parachute and then Darnicus said: "Come on, hop on my back and I'll get us out."

Applejack didn't seem to be very happy about it, but she knew that this might be her only way out. She hopped on his back and they started climbing down the steps. When they finally got out from tower, a not-so-friendly face was waiting at them. Rainbow Dash was at the deck all alone.

"Rainbow..?" Applejack asked. But when she looked at the pony who was at the deck she could see differences to Rainbow Dash. The pony's colors were all black, and her cutie mark was just like Rainbows, but darker.

"Applejack… You should have stayed in your cage. It would have been so better for to you, because now I have to kill you," Rainbow Dash said over dramatically. She was wearing a high ranking Eclipse commander uniform. There were badges at the sides of the uniform. Darnicus had hoped that they would not hit into Rainbow Dash.

"You work for the quee-" Applejack started but all of the sudden Darnicus started running towards the ledge.

"What are you doing?!" Applejack shouted, while still being on his back.

Darnicus didn't say anything, he just jumped off the ledge.

"Damn it!" Rainbow Dash shouted and flew after them.

"Use the parachute to land, I'll take care of the Rainbow Dash!" Darnicus shouted to Applejack and released her.

Rainbow flew downwards with huge power. Darnicus used levitation magic and grabbed one cloud and placed it in front of her. Dash striked into the cloud with huge force but it didn't stop her, just slowed her down a little bit. Then she hit into Darnicus. They were both falling with a huge speed, and Applejack who had opened her parachute went past them. Then, Darnicus and Rainbow both hit the ground.

________________________________________________________________________________

*One month later*

Twilight's life was dull. Everyday it was just the same routines. Although she had for some reason some privileges, maybe because she had meant much for Eclipse, still because she didn't actually have a job so she had to work at Sweet Apple Acres. But, she still wasn't a slave. Then she went back home, tried to find a spell that might make Celestia come back, went to sleep, woke up and back to working at the Sweet Apple Acres. Sometimes, she would go to a walk.

One day while she was on her walk, she saw three figures following her. She could easily spot followers, the guards had tried to follow her in secret many times. But these three were not guards. They all had capes on them, so you couldn't see their faces or bodies. One was an earth pony, one was... something and one was a pony that jumped around? When the pony tried to jump the weird one tried to kept her down as they didn't want to gather too much attention.

She didn't care about them too much, because she was about to get a book that could help her. She walked to the Ponyville town square and Lyra was waiting for her. Twilight just walked towards her and hitted her.

"Sorry," she said and continued walking.

Many wouldn't have seen anything weird in that, but if you looked closely you could see that when Twilight hit into Lyra a trade was made. Twilight took a book from Lyra that she had been holding under her stomach. That way no guard could have seen what happened. Right when the trade was complete Lyra walked away from Town square.

Twilight didn't know where Lyra got that book, and I am pretty sure she didn't care. But she couldn't wait to get back to the library as the book she got could solve all of this madness. But the mysterious trio was still tracking her. She thought that it would be wise to get rid of them and turned to side alley. When the three got to that alley there were three ways to go. They quickly separated and looked for Twilight. But Twilight had already got back to library and the mysterious thrio gave up.

Twilight quickly locked the door, because she didn't want anypony to disturb her now. She looked at the book she had got. Spells for the mighty was the books name. She started browse the pages in hopes to find what she was looking for. Then after a while, she found it.

"Counter spell. This spell makes other spells reverse their effects…" Twilight started to read when a knock came from the door. She hid the book behind other books and went to the door.

"Who's there?" Twilight asked trough the door.

"We just want to talk," came a strangely metallic voice behind the door.

"Oh no, I don't open my door to strangers."

"How about to a friend?" asked friendly voice behind the door.

A-Ap-Applejack? Twilight couldn't believe what she was hearing. She quickly opened the door and shouted quietly: "Get in!" and dragged the three inside.

"Sugarcube!" Applejack said and hugged Twilight.

"Hey I want to hug too!" said a chirp voice behind one of the capes.

"Pinkie?" Twilight said and hugged Pinkie Pie who had taken her cape off.

"I have missed you girls so much!" Twilight tries to start but voice stops her.

"I am sorry but there is no time for chit-chat. We need to talk," said the third person with his metallic voice and took his cape off. The thing behind the cape was something really weird. It had two horns at each side of its head, it stood on two legs and it had two arms. It didn't have hooves, it actually had boots at the place, where its hooves should have been. It was completely covered in steel, and you couldn't see its skin, or maybe it didn't have one. Its chest, face, and forelegs and forearms were green. Its horns, hands and everything else was grey. It's retinas were purple and the iris was multi labeled and kept turning and turning. It didn't have a mouth, but at the place of the mouth were tubes that went into a machine that almost fully covered its back. It had slim figure, even though ordinary minotaurs have muscles.

"Who, I mean, What are you?!" Twilight asked from it.

"He is our rescuer, you silly," Pinkie said.

"Well technically I only saved Applejack and Fluttershy. You just hopped into me," The robot minotaur said like its normal thing.

"His name is Darnicus, and he is the leader of the rebels," Applejack told Twilight.

"Wait, Fluttershy is okay too?" Twilight hadn't heard anything else after she heard that Fluttershy was okay. Maybe she could use the Elements against Eclipse.

"Yes, yes, yes… We need to talk now," Darnicus said.

________________________________________________________________________________

The four sat at the Twilight's kitchen table. Twilight had made some tea, and Pinkie and Applejack took some with pleasure, but Darnicus refused.

"Now I believe you have some questions for me?" Darnicus asked from Twilight. Twilight was still a little bit of disturbed about his eyes. Actually she was scared of the hole damn thing.

"A lot actually. What are you? A robotic minotaur? And what are these… rebels? And what do you want from me? And is Fluttershy alright?" Twilight burst out the questions.

Pinkie Pie and Applejack just drank some tea and let Darnicus answer the questions. "What I am is not the most important thing right now. And the rebels are ponies who are tired of being under the reign of Eclipse. Fluttershy is okay, she is tending our medical station in our base camp, and what I need from you is a big, big thing." Darnicus answered. He had been waiting for those questions, and had prepared the answers for them.

"You need me and the rest of the girls to use Elements of Harmony and turn Eclipse back to Celestia?" Twilight asked with a some hope.

"No. The elements are useless as Rarity and Rainbow Dash are working for Queen Eclipse now."

"They are working for Eclipse?!" Twilight shouted. She didn't think that the element of loyalty would turn against her. It just couldn't be true.

"It's true sugarcube. Rainbow was the one who captured me," Applejack told Twilight with sadness in her voice.

"Twilight. I need you to help me and my rebels to destroy Eclipse," Darnicus said.

"D-destroy Eclipse… But can't she be turned back to Celestia? I-I know a counter spell that can turn her back and-" Twilight tried to say but Darnicus stopped her again.

"I am afraid it's not a spell that turned her into that."

"How do you know?! And how do you know so much about us?!" Twilight shouted and started to cry. Applejack and Pinkie Pie went and tried to comfort her.

"I saw it. I saw how she started to turn into Eclipse, day by day. And why I saw it, and why I know so much about you, is because I worked for Celestia."

"You… worked for her?" Applejack asked. This was new information for her as well.

"Yes, I did. I did things… Things I'm not proud of… But they needed to be done. I have worked for many evil things, like Discord," Darnicus said like it would be a normal thing.

"You worked for who?!" Both Applejack and Twilight shouted. Pinkie had found muffins so she was not interested in that conversation.

"It doesn't matter! All that matters is that will you help us Twilight?" Darnicus asked.

Twilight thought for a moment and then gave Darnicus her answer. "Yes, yes I will."

"That's wonderful sugarcube!" Applejack said.

"Now we just need to get out from Ponyvi-" Darnicus started but a loud knock came from the door.

"It's ECC! Hand the rebels to us and you will not be harmed!" said a stallions voice behind the door.

"Citizen control!" Darnicus shouted quietly. "We need to get out from Ponyville and fast!"

"I have a back door. We can use it!" Twilight told them.

The four got out from the back door. Darnicus closed the door and levitated a hole tree to stop the guards for a moment. Just after that the front door exploded in and the guards swarmed into the house.

"You can use magic?" Twilight asked him. She had never seen a minotaur, even if they would be robotic, to use magic.

"I can do a lot of things. But now we need to get out! What is the fastest way to get out from here?"

"Well, I guess we could get away from Sweet Apple Acres," Twilight told them.

"Is Granny and Big Mac okay?" Applejack hadn't heard about them after she was imprisoned.

"I don't know…" Twilight answers quietly. Both then look each other quietly as they know this is not the place for sorrow. They would have to escape, and fast!

________________________________________________________________________________

They all sneaked to the Sweet Apple Acres. Applejack was terrified about how Acres had been changed. There were spotlights, guards and spiked fence. She didn't believe that it was the same place. Darnicus pointed with his finger that they should go from the corn field. They all started to go in to the corn field, but then one spotlight caught them in the light and an alarm started ringing.

"Rebels in Area 227. Rebels in Area 227. Rebels in Are-" a mare computer voice repeated over and over again.

"Run!" Darnicus shouted and they all start running towards the fence.

The pegasus guards got in front of them first and Darnicus punched one in the face, Applejack kicked one, Twilight teleported through one and Pinkie… well… she jumped over the guard… Then came the earth ponies and one of them tackled Twilight. Applejack turned around and ran to the guard who was holding Twilight and kicked him hard into back of his head. You could even hear his skull crack. Applejack helped Twilight to get up. They both came to the fence, and Twilight teleported her and Applejack to the other side where Darnicus and Pinkie Pie were waiting. Then they all ran in to the forest.

________________________________________________________________________________

*Two days later*

"So, Twilight joined the rebels?" Eclipse asked from her friend.

The friend stretched a little bit and after that answered: "Yes. That means everything is going according to the plan."

"What happens next?" Eclipse asked.

"We send in the R.A.R.E…"
________________________________________________________________________________

Twilight couldn't believe such things as the rebels base camp could even exist. It was an old bunker. Its air was bad and lighting was dim, but it surely was one of the best hiding places. After she had hugged and talked with Fluttershy, she was called for a meeting. When she entered the meeting room, she looked at the ponies who were looking at her. There were Darnicus, Applejack, a stallion with moustache and… Scootaloo?

"Why is Scootaloo here?" Twilight asked.

"I'm pretty sure you know the reasons. I'll tell you a hint, she is our infiltrator," Darnicus answered her, almost sounding like the question didn't surprise him.

"How do you know about that?" Twilight asked.

"When I worked for Celestia, I followed you for six months."

"Wait, have you been stal-" Twilight asked furiously but the stallion stops her.

"We have better things to discuss now!"

The other ponies around the table agreed, and Darnicus said: "There are a lot of things that I have done, but now we need to discuss things that needs to be done." He opened a map on the table. The map showed the bunker and all the cities of Equestria. The map also had an X mark on it. It pointed into a mountain that is pretty close to Fillydelphia.

"To beat Eclipse we need to get a spell scroll from these ruins. Then Twilight must learn it…" Darnicus started.

"I won't do it," Twilight said suddenly.

Everypony was surprised. Everypony were so suprised that they couldn't say a word.

"And why wouldn't you do that, sugarcube?" Applejack asked.

"I want that Spike will be rescued first," Twilight insisted. She wanted to know that Spike would be okay, and she wanted to talk with him.

Everypony tried to think something wise to say but nothing came to their minds. Finally Darnicus opened his mouth.

"Fine. Scootaloo, find out where Spike is." Scootaloo quickly left the meeting. "But, before that we will go and find that scroll. Deal?"

"Deal."

________________________________________________________________________________

"So, who are we looking for again?" Asked an earthpony in Black Tactical Sneaking Suit. Shortened as BTSS.

"Twilight Sparkle. Former student of Princess Celestia," answered an unicorn in BTSS. Her mane and tail were black just like with the other two ponies beside her.

"I read an article about her once. Wasn't she the element of magic?" asked a pegasus. He was wearing BTSS too.

"Oh yeah… Boss?" The earth pony looked a little bit of confused.

"What is it?" their boss asked angrily. This wasn’t a subject she wanted to talk about.

"Weren't you one of her friends?"

The unicorn punched her in the face and threatened her: "Never. Say. That. Again!"

"Could we just focus getting into this bunker? There are two guards at the entrance," the pegasus said and pointed at the guards.

"It ain't that hard," the earth pony said and raised her hoof. In her hoof was a machine of some sort. She pointed the machine at one of the guards and then pulled from a small string that was attached in the machine. The guard dropped to the ground. The other guard ran to his fallen comrade. In this time the pegasus had flew over him and then grabbed him from his throat and strangled him in the air.

"Good. Now let's get inside the bunker," Rarity said to them.

________________________________________________________________________________

Twilight was going to get some sleep. She hadn't slept for a long time and now she needed some rest. It would be easier to sleep, when she knew that her friends were okay. She placed her head on the pillow and closed her eyes. Then she fell asleep.

"R.A.R.E forces!" came a shout from the corridor. A few bullet shots could also be heard. Twilight quickly jumped back to her feet, even though she was still pretty sleepy. She went into the corridor and looked at each side of the corridor.

"Twilight!" came a happy voice from Rarity at one of the ends.

"Rarity…?" Twilight said. She started to walk towards Rarity.

"Twilight, NO!" Darnicus shouted from the other end of the corridor.

Twilight turned around and was about to say something, when she felt a pinch at her flank. She looked at her flank and there was a needle. She tried to mumble something about it, but fell down and started to sleep…
