"Now how did this work again?" A rabbit said, standing outside the vault of secrets. "Crap..." They added. "I'm going to have to get some help..." the rabbit concluded.

"So there's a few rogue dragons trying to start something with Ponies again..." Celestia said, talking with Torch.

"Yes. But of course, a certain individual will not stand for this." Torch said. "I don't know why this keeps happening though." He added. "And on my watch too. Maybe I'm getting too old for this." The giant dragon added.

"I'm sure you've still got a few years in you, Dragon Lord Torch." Celestia said. Luna yawned as she joined her sister. "Ah. Luna. This is Dragon Lord Torch. After your banishment as Nightmare Moon, there was some mending going on between ponies and dragons." Celestia said.

"Is that wise, sister?" Luna asked.

"It's worked so far." Torch said. "It was my intel that alerted Celestia to the sleeping dragon." He added.

"Peace Torch. My sister is right to worry. Until that certain someone came about, your kind weren't really buddy buddy with us." Celestia said.

"Certain someone?" Luna asked.

"The Dragon Goddess. She appeared once, and now any dragon that seeks to do war with ponies is dealt with directly by her. She's very parculiar about making friends with Ponies." Torch said.

"Interesting..." Luna noted. Suddenly a huge pillar of fire erupted from the other side of the mountain where Canterlot was stationed. "What was that?" The night alicorn asked.

"I have no idea." Torch said. Suddenly Twilight teleported in with her friends, Amiticia, and Pharynx, though there was also a very heavily injured changeling with them too.

"Changelings?!" Torch exclaimed. "What are they doing in Equestria?" He added.

"It's a long story." Celestia said. "Please do not start something if you'd be so kind. Amiticia and his hive are nice changelings." She added.

"Bad experience with changelings in the past I reckon? What didn't mother mess up during her 1,000-year reign?" Amiticia said.

"Queen Chrysalis has stepped down?" Torch asked.

"Not exactly; Mother died to that centaur, Lord Tirek. Once that happened, King Amiticia was named her successor." Pharynx said.

"I had heard about that centaur. Why did you not contact us as soon as he got loose?" Lord Torch asked.

"I was given an anonymous tip not to; it'd ruin Twilight's plan to stop him in case Discord was drained of his magic." Celestia said.

"Huh? I wasn't coming up with any plans..." Twilight noted.

"Yeah, I was with her the entire time; she was busy figuring out the mystery of the box at the tree of harmony. Discord mentioned something could be inside it after all." Amiticia said.

"Didn't expect the box to give me an actual castle out of it." Twilight said.

"Then...why did someone want to make sure the dragons didn't get involved with Lord Tirek?" Luna asked. Amiticia went wide eyed.

"Mother...seriously?! WHAT WERE YOU THINKING?!" Amiticia said.

"I don't follow..." Pharynx said.

"She was the anonymous tipster. She planned it. She planned everything." Amiticia said. "She had a feeling Tirek would drain Discord of his magic, and she made a plan to make sure she would die to Lord Tirek..." He added.

"But why? Why would mother do that?" Pharynx said.

"...I know why..." Torch said, then pointed at Amitica. "You are the result of that plan, are you not Amiticia? She knew the time for her to be queen was over. So, she had everything ready to make sure the crown could be passed on without question." The dragon lord added.

"...Your right...I guess it would be huh? Self-sacrifice and all that. She wanted to make sure all her changelings knew that the time to be the way we used to be was over; it was time to step out of the shadows and be friends with ponies." Amiticia said. "She realized the same thing dad figured out." He added.

"So, this brings up that injured changeling then..." Celestia said.

"He said he was attacked by dragons before passing out." Pharynx said.

"Yes. I am still having trouble with a few rogue dragons; ones who continue to ignore a certain individual's words." Torch said. "The ones who attacked your changeling must be from that group." He added.

"The question is, why was he attacked?" Luna asked.

"I know why. He and several other changelings were on a rotation shift protecting a specific room back at the old hive." Pharynx said.

"You mean you left that behind?!" Amiticia exclaimed.

"What are you referring to?" Twilight asked.

"It would've taken too long to transport the thing and you know it." Pharynx said.

"I said to specifically grab everything, that included the Sceptor of the Apocalypse." Amiticia said.

"What's the Sceptor of the Apocalypse?" Twilight said.

"One of four items referred to as the Treasures of the Apocalypse; each one was scattered to the corners of the world. Given to four races to ensure that they could not be brought together. Each race was told that if the four treasures were ever brought together, it could spell disaster for the entire world." Amiticia said. Suddenly Gilda came with an injured Griffon.

"Gilda?" Rainbow Dash asked.

"Dragons came and grabbed the Crown of the Apocolpyse." Gilda said. "Injured our guard." She added.

"Now that this is brought up...I should've checked with my night guards. I remember seeing some strange orb in the treasury. I simply moved it to a different room and had them guard it." Luna noted. As if on cue, a couple of night guards carrying an injured batpony came in. "...Why am I not surprised?" Luna asked.

"That just leaves the Armor of the Apocalypse..." Amiticia noted.

"Well, if there were any dragons injured, I would know." Torch said.

"...Unless...they didn't need to injure other dragons. What if the rogue dragons got in your guard detail without you realizing?" Amiticia suggested.

"I don't know how they could do it. They're pros." Torch said.

"Not just pros." A female voice said before a mysterious rabbit came in the door. "Practical masters. I expected nothing less in regard to my father." The rabbit said.

"That rabbit can talk?" Amiticia asked.

"Why does everyone always jump to that about me?" The rabbit asked.
