Chapter 1

Once upon a time, there existed a couple, Cosmos and Galaxia. Together, they embarked on a quest to establish a village in the heart of of a mountain called Canterlot. Their benevolence knew no bounds, when the people thirsted for water, they provided; when hunger struck, they offered sustenance, and when shelter was sought, they extended their own. In the eyes of the villagers, Cosmos and Galaxia were seen as divine beings, their kindness likened to that of a God.

As time flew, so did the village expand, growing into a thriving kingdom. It flourished until a rift in the fabric of reality birthed a Dimensional Gate. This portal unleashed a horde of nightmarish monsters, wreaking havoc throughout Equestria. Six heroes emerged from the shadows, their valor unmatched. Together, they defeated the monsters, but when they entered the gate to seal it shut, none returned. The Dimensional Gate shut tight, leaving them forever somewhere in another world.

The aftermath was disastrous. The damage extended to every corner of Equestria, impacting magic users, aerialists, and terrestrials . Amidst the chaos, Queen Galaxia perished while giving birth, and King Cosmos vanished into obscurity, thus starting the great depression.

Once upon a time in the magical land of equestria there were two regal sisters who ruled together and created harmony for all the land, to do this the eldest used her magical powers to raise the sun at dawn.

The youngest brought out the moon to begin the night, thus the two sisters maintained balance for their kingdom and their subjects, all the different types of humans.

But as time went on the younger sister became resentful, the human relished and played in the day her eldest sister brought forth, but shunned and slept through her beautiful night.

One fateful day the younger princess refused to lower the moon to make way for the dawn, the elder sister tried to reason with her, but the bitterness in the young one's heart had transformed her into a wicked woman of darkness, {Nightmare moon}.

She vowed that she will shroud the land in eternal night, reluctantly the elder sister harnessed the most powerful magic known to mankind the {Elements of Harmony}.

Using the elements of harmony, she defeated her younger sister and banished her permanently in the moon.

The elder sister took on responsibility for both sun and moon, and harmony has been maintained in equestria for generations since.

"The elements of harmony, why do I still lack details of it." pondered the young woman, seated near the tree by the gentle river. She had navy blue hair with stripes of pink and purple, the straight ends falling gracefully. Wearing a violet sweater vest over a shirt with a long, white sleeve and a violet necktie, she completed her ensemble with a violet skirt and black stockings, leaving no skin exposed.

*Bam!* The black luxurious door swung open.

"Spike, Spike!" called out the young woman, met with a young voice responding, "Coming, coming. Sheesh Twilight, do you have to shout my name every time you enter? And please, stop barging inside like that." From a corner emerged a boy, appearing barely 14, with green hair. He was dressed in a white T-shirt and orange pants, reaching just above his knees.

Spike shot Twilight an unsatisfied glare, prompting her to smile apologetically, her expression tinged with embarrassment.

"S-sorry, hehe. But I'm in a hurry."

She quickly walked past Spike and into the next room, resembling a small library with a giant hourglass in the middle.

"I swear I read that book." Twilight whispered to herself.

"Twilight?" Spike asked.

Somehow, Twilight ignored Spike's words and gave him an order. "Quick, find me that old book of predictions and prophecies."

But Twilight noticed a gift box in Spike's hand. "What's that for?"

"Well, it's a gift for Moon Dancer that I'll deliver later," Spike answered.

"You can deliver it later when we're done," Twilight said.

"B-but Twilight, you always take forever when you're doing your-" Spike was cut off.

"I'll be quick, so find me that old book of predictions and prophecies now." Twilight sounded like she's in a rush, so Spike put the box near a table and rolled his eyes, finding what Twilight had recently asked.

Twilight closed her eyes, and in a burst of magic, a horn appeared on her forehead, her hands beginning to illuminate a violet glow. Books began levitating and moving in front of her face so she could identify them, and after a minute of searching, she began to get irritated.

"Spike!" Twilight shouted!

"It's over here." Spike tossed the book to Twilight, and it began levitating towards her in a violet glow. All the previous books that were floating fell on the ground, making Spike groan.

"Really? I just organized." But however Twilight once again ignored him.

Walking up to a lectern, Twilight placed the book on top of it and started searching for a specific page, muttering 'E' repeatedly until she found what she was looking for.

"Ha, Elements of Harmony. Woman in the Moon."

"Woman in the moon? But that's just an old fairy tale," Spike remarked, organizing the books.

Twilight flipped through the pages until finally, she began reading it aloud.

"The woman in the moon myth from old and times, a powerful person who wanted to rule equestria. Defeated by the elements of harmony and imprisoned in the moon, legend has it that on the longest day of the thousandth year the stars will aid in her escape and she will bring about night time eternal."

She gasped, taking a few steps back, and turned around to look at Spike by the bookshelf.

"Spike, do you know what this means?" questioned Twilight, but Spike was nowhere in her peripheral vision. A voice replied from the door leading outside, and it was Spike.

"Yeah, that means I'm giving this present to Moon Dancer. Bye!" Spike replied happily, and with that, the door closed with a loud thud.

Twilight was left flabbergasted, but she couldn't deny that she had been a bit commanding to young Spike lately, and perhaps she deserved this treatment.

Twilight groaned and pulled out a scroll along with a pen mid air and began writing.

[My dearest teacher my continuing studies of magic had left me to discover that we are on the very brink of disaster. In the story the woman in the moon is in fact Nightmare moon and she's about to return to equestria and bring eternal night. Something must be done to make sure this terrible prophecy does not come true. I await your faithful response. -Your faithful student, Twilight Sparkle]

Having finished her letter, Twilight began rolling the scroll, taking a moment to inhale and exhale, trying to relax.

"The day after tomorrow is the thousandth year of the Summer Sun Celebration. I hope she doesn't ignore this," Twilight worried, looking at the hourglass in front of her.

The scroll started glowing in a violet hue, her hands radiating brightly. Gradually, the brightness engulfed the scroll until it began burning in a violet fire, ultimately disappearing.

It didn't take long before a bright light suddenly erupted in front of Twilight, and a scroll fell to the ground. She picked it up and began reading it.

[My dearest most faithful student Twilight, you know that I value your diligence and that I trust you completely. But you must stop reading those books. My dear Twilight there is more to a young person's life than studying. So I'm sending you to supervise the preparations for the Summer Sun Celebration in this year's location, the small city of Ponyville. Plus your not going alone with dear spike so I'm sending one guard to look after you. And as a final, please make some friends.]

After reading the scroll, Twilight's face became neutral. She walked to the kitchen, placed the scroll on a nearby table, and randomly took a tea from the shelves.

"It's going to be a long day."

Ace took a bite of a pastry, relishing the satisfying bite. His face suddenly lit up, and he inspected the pastry in his hand.

"Oh my Celestia!" He enthusiastically put the whole thing in his mouth, savoring the flavors before swallowing. "A crepe. Hmmm." His eyes began to close in pleasure, and amidst his moment of enjoyment, collective whispers could be heard.

A group of girls watched Ace indulging in his crepe, their faces slowly lit with pink as they observed his content expression.

As Ace took his last bite, one of the girls in the group walked up to him, extending a kind offer.

"U-umm, do you want more, mister?"

Dumbfounded by such kindness, Ace, not accustomed to such offers, simply smiled and nodded. The girl jumped in joy and ordered two more crepes. As Ace observed the girl making the order, two bold girls suddenly clung onto his unoccupied arms.

"Your arm is empty, so someone needs to fill it up," the girl on his right confidently declared.

"Uhhhh"

"Are you a model? Can I have your Instaglam?" the one on the left shyly asked.

"Umm what's an Instaglam?"

The girl who ordered now had crepes in both her hands. She confronted Ace, looking at his face with a determined expression.

"Say 'aaa.'" The girl slowly neared the food to Ace's mouth, and left without choice, Ace took a bite and closed his eyes in pure delight. "Hmm."

The girls all shrieked in joy when Ace adorned a satisfied expression.
...
..
.
The girls proved to be quite kind, taking the time to teach him a few things about the internet and highlighting its relevance in everyone's daily life. Eventually, their interaction ended with a friendly goodbye.

Now, Ace wanders through the city, acquainting himself with every street he can traverse. However, an uneasy awareness creeps over him as he senses the curious stares from passersby. Stares that he's unfamiliar too.

"Is there something wrong with my suit?" His mind churns with thoughts.

Back in the constitution, where staring meant either someone means business or someone's has business with the person their staring, Ace couldn't shake off the paranoia triggered by the glances. Seeking refuge, he spotted Sugarcube Corner just around the corner of the street. Without a second thought he walked toward the shop and entered.

Ring The shopkeeper's bell chimed as Ace opened the door. Stepping inside, he felt the cool embrace of the air conditioner against his skin. The atmosphere was calming, and he headed towards an empty seat, surveying the eye-catching surroundings from well-placed furniture to the inviting pink cushioned sofas. He slowlt closed his eyes, engaging in a breathing exercise to regain composure.

Inhale, exhale, inhale, exhale. Ace repeated the sequence until his concentration was interrupted by a voice.

"In and out, did I do it correctly?" A female voice questioned.

Ace's eyes snapped open, and he found himself face to face with two shining light blue eyes. The person before him sported pink curly hair and wore a denim and pink T-shirt adorned with a picture of three balloons; light blue on the sides and yellow in the middle.

Surprised by the unexpected encounter, Ace instinctively shifted a bit to his left, creating some distance.

"The name's {Pinkamena Diane Pie} , but everyone calls me {Pinkiepie} !" she cheerfully introduced herself.

"How did I not sense her incoming presence?" Ace pondered. "Umm, my name's Ace. What are you doing on my seat, Miss Pinkiepie?" Ace inquired.

"To take your order, silly! So, what do you want?" Pinkiepie pulled out a notepad and an ink ballpen.

"Uhh, a crepe?"

"Got that!" She stood up, walking to the back while giggling. As Ace contemplated how she managed to get so close without him noticing, he groaned and began rubbing his forehead.

"Here's your order!" The energetic girl returned with a plastic tray in hand, placing it on the table, revealing three crepes. Ace regarded her with questioning eyes, as if seeking answers.

"You're a first-time customer, so you get an extra." Pinkiepie added.

Ace, already having eaten four crepes before entering the shop, realized he couldn't consume all the scrumptious crepes before him. "I can't eat all this. Want some?" he offered.

Pinkiepie gasped happily and quickly sat next to Ace. "Don't mind if I do." She took one and enthusiastically took a bite.

Ace observed Pinkiepie enjoying her share. Despite her slightly invasive manner in terms of personal space, there was a warmth in her ways. Encouraged by her enjoyment, Ace took a bite and was pleasantly surprised. The taste surpassed the previous crepes he had eaten. It didn't take long before he devoured the whole thing in his hand.

"Hmm."

"Delicious right? There's more of where that came from." Pinkiepie smiled, Ace took the second crepe and began taking a bite.

Pinkiepie simply stared at Ace, watching him enjoying his crepe. Ace doesn't look ultra handsome, he's just at the above average handsome and as pinkiepie thinks there's more to this man that meets the eye.

Suddenly, Ace turned his head towards Pinkiepie.

"Boop." Pinkiepie unexpectedly booped Ace's nose and then glanced at the clock on the wall.

"You can put the money at the counter, I trust you, Ace Starfire," said Pinkie Pie with a smile on her face. She stood up and walked out the glass door, the shopkeeper's bell chiming once again.

"How did she know my last name?" Ace pondered.

Ace remained frozen, though outwardly immobile, a fire blazed in his stomach. An unknown feeling grew stronger as his heart pounded.

He was confused, baffled, and flabbergasted, but deep inside, it was more than that.

First Person
After settling my bill with the nice middle-aged lady, I set out to find a place to stay and found myself a hotel named Ixtar Hotel. Usually, I prefer to avoid overly luxurious establishments, but this one seemed just right, normal-looking, with a well-designed and modern interior. The cleanliness and friendliness of the staff were additional perks.

Having secured a room, I casually tossed my briefcase onto the edge of the bed before following suit myself. I forgot to mention earlier that the room is fully equipped with a kitchen, bedroom, and bathroom. The space is surprisingly spacious, which is quite nice actually.

But after that strange encounter, me being alone in this room somehow felt empty. I'm used to being alone, but why this? Why does this moment feel 'different.'

Third Person
Ace's mind is filled with questions that he can't answer and answers that he can't fit with, after some time he slowly closed his eyes and succumb to a sleep on the dusk of sunset.

"My love, please wait for me, everything will go accordingly." Said a voice, the tone sad and unforgiving.

.
.
.

My child. Here's a story.

Theres two being who love each other so much no matter the rules they always try to avoid it. This beings aren't physical... They're Gods.

But even to an all powerful God, love has to end some way or another.

In result the other one has no choice but to follow orders and leave the one that they love.

The other, shattered and fueled by both heartbreak and rage, rebels against the divine order and faces banishment as the consequence.

They slowly regained their strength and began building an army of their own an army that physical beings cannot comprehend.

Hoping they can see the one who they loyally loved, once again.

Ace instantly opened his eyes, a sense of danger and a chill filling his spine. He could discern an energy, one that he was familiar with.

"A Dimensional Gate."

The strength of this energy overwhelmed his senses, sending them into overdrive. Swiftly getting out of bed, Ace moved to the window, opened it, and closed his eyes to pinpoint the exact location of the energy.

In the darkness of his mind, he could see a light just around the city block. As he opened his eyes, shock washed over him the light was precisely where the auditorium stood.

"That's where the Summer Sun Celebration is held."

Without hesitation, Ace jumped out of the window and levitated towards the auditorium, reaching the building within a minute. Upon arrival, all that remained was a chaotic scene, the floor strewn with piles of concrete, metal, and glass from the destroyed ceiling, revealing the stars above.

The strong energy Ace felt had dissipated, but traces of it lingered. His investigation was cut short as footsteps echoed from the entrance.

Quickly leaving the scene, Ace evaded the approaching royal guards. "I swear I noticed someone here," one of the guards thought.

Now at a distance from the building, Ace followed the trail of dissipating energy, which led him to the entrance of the Everfree Forest, the cold wind hitting his skin but he couldn't care less. Just as he was about to proceed, he spotted seven figures on the ground running toward the thick forest.

Sensing that these figures knew what they were doing, Ace planned to stealthily stalk them from behind, remaining unnoticed and invisible. Gradually lowering his altitude, their appearances became clearer, and he realized all of them are girls. Notably, one of them is Pinkiepie.
