Fall of Two Worlds: Changing Status

Twilight was scared. It was the day of the dead line and no word had come from Celestia, or Canterlot what so ever. To top all this Rainbow Dash, Dari and the human were all missing and had been all day yesterday and all night. Twilight ran around her tree house as Spike stood by and watched, along with Heart Breaker, who had gotten to Ponyville early. There was almost one hundred ponies outside of all different races and cultures. But they couldn't leave without Rainbow, Dari, or the human. There were too many unknowns. Heart Breaker grabbed Twilight with a hoof and she realised she'd been running in circles.

"They will be okay, more ponies are coming. I'm sure they are safe." The alicorn said. Twilight nodded sadly and just decided to wait.

Suddenly Pinkie ran in, shocked. Twilight ran outside with the pink pony.

"What?" Twilight asked, then saw. Around Canterlot were hundreds of, black dots shooting down onto the city. The shield had fallen, thus the city was breached. There was a small trail of smoke coming from the main tower and Twilight panicked even more.

"Come on Rainbow, where are you?" Twilight asked.

Rainbow Dash woke to screams, she opened her eyes to a loud yell and saw she, along with Dari and the human were in a cell together. But the guards were nowhere to be seen. The human looked scared, as did Dari.

"What's up?" Rainbow asked in a groan of a voice.

"The Sky Dwellers captured us and put us in a cell, but the city is under attack by some unknown enemy, apparently." The human replied. Dari was staring coldly at Rainbow Dash and didn't move, the cyan Pegasus just decided to ignore it, for now. There was another scream of pain, closer.

"How do we get out?" Rainbow Dash asked.

"We can't. No keys, no way out, no guards to attack, nothing. We are generally trapped." The man asked quickly. Dari gulped a little and the human looked at her, as did Rainbow Dash.

"My, my erm, teleport powers could get us out, but not very far." Dari muttered. The human beamed with joy.

"Anywhere out of this damn cell is good enogh." He said. Dari nodded and began to glow slightly. Rainbow didn't dare move or breathe. Just watched the purple glow over the Pegasus. After a moment Rainbow didn't think anything was going to happen, then her world shifted and she stood outside the cell they were just in. As did the human and the Siren.

"Okay, lets go." The human said, the trio ran out of the room and outside. Into hell.

Rainbow Dash caught her first glimpse of the enemy that moment, they were black and green in colour, all of them, harboured bug like wings and misshapen bone horns on them, they had big green eyes and spiked fang teeth. Dari gasped as one of the enemy cut down a Sky Dweller just with the sharpness of its horn.

"What the hell." The human said. Not very conveniently.

"They, they are, Changelings." Dari murmured, then two of the enemy looked to the group and advanced.

"Fly." Rainbow Dash said and spread her wings, as did the human and Dari. Just as the two 'Changelings' got to the group they shot up and flow away from the burning city.

"We have to go back, we have to save them." Dari muttered, they had killed her parents, friends and everypony she knew hundreds of years ago, but Dari still wanted to help. It was the Siren way.

"Dari, don't get yourself killed for them, we need you in the real fight." the man barked, Dari so wanted to fly, but knew he was right.

"Come on. Back to Ponyville." Rainbow muttered, the trio flow away, letting the screams of dying leech themselves into each ponies head. 'If this is the damage a few could do. Think what Canterlot is already like.' Rainbow Dash thought. The human looked to Rainbow like he knew what she was thinking. The trio flow back as the screams of dying still echoed through their minds.

Applejack walked with the Bloody Skulls as they made their way back to Ponyville, Stone Mountain and a pony named Cypher stood next to AJ. Lex and the others of the team were behind. Lex was probably deliberately trailing, Applejack knew why, but honestly, didn't care. The group trotted in almost silence, until Cypher spoke up.

"So. What Intel is known on this unknown force of destruction?" Cypher asked.

"What?" Applejack asked, confused.

"He wants to know what is known about the enemy." Stone Mountain explained in a deep, slow voice. Applejack giggled a bit, being a country folk she didn't know a lot of things, but still got through her, exciting life.

"Absolutly nothing. As far as I know." AJ replied. "You still the brains Brains?" She then asked.

"You know my name is Cypher, and yes. I am the most delectable one here." He replied proudly. Stone Mountain gave the smaller pony a glare but otherwise ignored the remark.

"Okay then, we should be nearing Ponyville, but may need to move out again as soon as we arrive." Applejack stated, feeling bad for Zero, who, as the rookie and medic, had to carry the most stuff, his own medical supplies and the spare weaponry the Bloody Skulls weren't already carrying or holding. It wasn't that the pony couldn't handle it, just it was a heavy load for anyponies standards. Applejack smiled slightly. She'd gone soft.

Twilight Sparkle stood on the Mayors stand looking onto the faces of all the ponies that signed up to go to war. Rainbow Dash, the human, Dari and Applejack were still missing, but every pony else was here. Twilight had given a count. One hundred and ninety eight ponies stood in this spot, all armed and ready. All risking their lives for Equestria. Suddenly Twilight spotted three dark figures in the sky, as they got closer, Twilight saw they were Rainbow and the other two. But with no Sky Dwellers. Applejack, along with some other ponies also showed up. Now every pony was here. Twilight nodded to the ponies as they arrived and prepared to speak.

Suddenly there was a noise. Then another. Then another, coming from the Everfree forest. Getting closer, the small army shifted and prepared arms.

Then, a tree fell down.

"Sorry." Said a voice. Twilight looked to the gap in the forest to see a knife, yes a knife. Ridding on the back of a serpent. It had been the knife who spoke. The thing had arms and legs, somehow. But was an impossible magic.

"Sorry we're late. No news comes to the Everfree." The knife said.

"Let me introduce ourselves. I am Steven, and this is Nick. We are here to join the army to save Canterlot, and Equestria." The serpent said. Twilight recognized the knife straight away and just nodded. Then began.

"Ponies, friends, sea serpents. Three days ago I received a letter from princess Celestia that a siege had been started on Canterlot by an unknown enemy. Myself and my friends were given three days to gather enogh ponies to attack the enemy and break the siege so the land is saved from whoever these ponies are. With your help in the next battle, and without any falter, I am sure we can win the battle for Equestria. Now. March north. Follow the train line." Twilight ordered and every pony moved out. The mane six, the human, Dari and Heart Breaker had stayed. The group gathered.

"This is for Equestria ponies. Lets do this." Rainbow said and everypony nodded, the group moved out. Then, somewhere in the distance, a sonic rainboom was heard.
