"So much to do...so little time."
Applebloom felt no air flowing through whatsoever. But she landed on something though. She woke up and found out she was standing on crystal glass. She checked her surroundings. Everything dark flowed across the walls...Er...air. No buildings in sight. The only thing in sight was that she saw stone with a key hovering above it. She went towards the huge key as she grabbed it with her mouth and a glow appeared on her wrist. It showed a circle in the middle with two smaller circles to make it look like ears (Just in case you don't know what it is. It's a Mickey Mouse head). Then a necklace appeared around her neck as it showed a crown. She stared at the mark as it glowed then it showed a dark blue color. It seem so familiar to her. But she doesn't even know what it is, yet it's so familiar to her.
"Take your time, Don't be afraid."
She checked the glass as it showed her asleep. Then stairs glowed in sight as it made a trail.
"The door is still shut. Power sleeps within you."
She slowly followed the stairs as it kept its glow.
"If you give it form...it will give you strength. Keep your light burning strong."
She heard this strange voice as if it was talking to her. What door? What light? What is this mark on her arm? Why is she here? Why her? How did she get here? So many questions flowed through her little filly brain as she kept going up the stairs. When she made it, she touch the glass and it burst into light as it spread across the ground. Then it showed her and her fellow friends one crystal glass.
"The closer you get to light, The greater you shadow becomes. But don't be afraid. You hold the mightiest weapon of all."
As the strange voice finished, three paper-like black bunnies with yellow glowing eyes appeared. One tried to jump at her, but she accidentally swung her key as it went through the creature and disappeared into thin air. She grinned at what she did. This was no ordinary key, it was a special key. One swung is ragdoll arms at the filly as it clawed through her body, only to see that it completely miss the target. Applebloom swung the huge key as it sliced the creature again. Now she was confident that she will win this battle. This time, the creature fell to the floor and crawled its way to Applebloom. What was it doing? She kept watch of the thing as it crawled. It came back to its bunny-like body and it tried to kick her. Applebloom quickly swung her key as she closed her eyes. She didn't know if she died or she destroyed the thing. She slowly opened her eyes to see, just in time, the creature disappear. But then something dark slowly crawled its way to life.
"So don't forget: You are the only one, to open the door."
The creature was way bigger than she has ever seen. It was black and it had hair growing all out of its bunny head. It had a heart shape missing from its body and its yellow glowing eyes stared down at her like daggers. His kegs were short, but his arms were long enough to touch the ground. Applebloom was too scared to do anything. The monster growled as it swung his lazy arm at the filly. Applebloom jumped to the left and barley doge the attack. She ran towards the right arm of the monster and started hitting it with all her might. The monster roared from anger as his minions came to the party. She swung left, than right and defended herself as she tried to the destroy the monster. The monster had enough as he made a dark pool to get the filly.
She was trapped when her right back hoof got stuck in the dark pool. She was slowly drowning as it pulled her in. The dark pool also pushed air away from her body as she breathed it in. She tried her best but, with no luck, drowned in the dark pool. The last thing she saw was the monsters bright yellow eyes.
"Your mark will glow when your close to the door. Your friends can come with you..."
Why will her mark glow? Which door? Again, why her? Her head hurts as she got up from bed, but saw her necklace dangle around in thin air. She had a sudden urge to tell someone. Someone close. Someone she can trust. But she can't tell anypony. They might think of two things. One: They might think she's crazy. Or two: They will just be over protecting her. Maybe she can try to improvise the situation. No! Nonononono! Ah'll just hide my mark! And let my necklace just be in plain sight! Maybe they will just think Ah got it from a friend! Applebloom thought and agreed with her mind. Wonder if she got her cutiemark? She check her flank as it showed it was blank. She was disappointed and in relief at the same time. She needed something though to hide the mark. Maybe wearing some shoes? She grab some bunny flipflops as she put the on. She then ran outside and didn't wave by to her family, but just kept running. She didn't stop nor slowdown, she just kept running. After a few minutes she finally made it, but seriously tired.
"Now class...we will be learning about wars in Equestria. Now since we learned that...' Ms. Cheerlie continued. Applebloom couldn't help but think about that dream and her mark on her wrist. "Psst! Applebloom. You ok? You been staring at that desk for a long time now." a voice called. She turned and found a white pony with a purple and pink mane and tail. Her name was Sweetie Belle. She a good friend...as long as she is not singing at a dubstep volume. "Ah'm fine. Just a little dizzy." Applebloom lied. The bell rang and it was time to go outside. Applebloom went outside and waited for her fellow members. "Where's Scoot?" Applebloom asked. "Right here!" a voice called. They turned and found an orange pony with a purple main and tail. Her name was Scootaloo. She is a huge fan of Rainbow Dash and almost acts JUST like her.
"So what are we gonna do?" Scootaloo asked. "Find our cutiemarks of course!" Sweetie Belle said. "I know that! I meant what ARE we gonna do?" Scootaloo rephrased her sentence as Sweetie Belle processed the information. Appleblooms body felt numb for not telling the dream. The more they don't know, the more her body felt guilty. She MUST tell them. Their her friends, and they will do anything for one another. "Maybe painting?" Sweetie asked. "We tried remember? Too messy." Scoot reminded Sweetie Belle. "You ok Applebloom? You're just sitting there." Scootaloo said. "No...Ah'm not." She admitted. "Tell us! We promise we wont laugh!" Sweetie Belle said. "Its not funny! Its serious!" Applebloom yelled. They sat down and waited for her to speak.
She sighed when she was ready to tell. "Ok...you pinkie promise you wont tell?" Applebloom asked. "Cross my heart, hope to fly, stick a cupcake in my eye." they both said. "Ok...Ah...Ah had a really weird dream." Applebloom admitted. "YOU HAVE A CRUSH?!" Sweetie Belle yelled. Apparently, it got the ENTIRE school's attention. "No! You didn't even let me finish!" Applebloom said. Thats what made everypony go back into their business. Sweetie blushed from the outburst as she said sorry. "Ah had a weird dream. Thats where I got the necklace." Applebloom told them, showing the crown necklace. "This weird voice kept talking about a door. And then this huge key was like a sword. Then it gave me this...mark." Applebloom told them, showing them the mark. "It seems so familiar. But Ah don't know what it is." Applebloom finished.
They both stared in disbelief nad confusion. They didn't want to believe it, but the mark proves it all. "Wait...did you draw that?" Scootaloo asked. "No...but Ah wished Ah did. But what was weirder was that Ah had to fight these alien things!" Applebloom said. "Then were gonna help you! Were gonna start searching after school and tomorrow!" Scootaloo said. All she recieved were "WHAT?!" "Applebloom's our friend! And if that means were gonna go on an adventure. Than count me in!" Scoot said cheerfully. "Me too!" Sweetie Belle said. "Thanks." Applebloom said. "I still think your only doing this for Rainbow Dash." Sweetie Belle said. "Shut up." Scootaloo told her. Then her mark started to glow a bright white color. "Wha?! What's going on?!" Scoot asked. "Shhh! We have to hide!" Applebloom said, pointing from the rest of the fillies. Before they could hide, marks appeared on their wrist too. Same things as Appleblooms except one thing. They had hats. Sweetie Belle's had a wizard hat, Scootaloo's had a guard helmet, and Appleblooms had a crown hanging from its ear.
"Coooool." Scoot said. "Well well well. Seems like we got a couple of blank flanks!" a voice mocked. That was Diamond Tiara. Meanest filly in this school, but acts like she one of the nicest fillies around. Who she hates most of all, the CMC. "Why are you here?" Scoot asked. "Yeah! We didn't do anything to ya!" Applebloom said. "Hey look! They have cutiemarks, on the wrong side!" a grey pony said. Her name was Silver Spoon, Diamond's friend. She is JUST as annoying as Diamond Tiara. "Go away Diamond. Or we are going to tell Ms. Cheerlie." Sweetie Belle told them. "Why? Are you snitch?" Silver told them. That it the CMC dead center. They learned that they should tell on them. But what happened when Bab Seeds came to town...they didn't want to tell anypony if they EVER heard that word.
Thats when the weird part came into place. On Scoot's head came a helmet that only solders wear, and a shield that had the same symbol as her mark. "Hi! Whats up chosen one?" the shield spoke, though it did not move. "D-did this thing...just..TALK?!" Scoot yelled in fear. "I didn't hear anything." Sweetie Belle said. "Uh..HELLOOOO smart guy. Only you can hear this. You ARE a guardian after all." "I AM NOT A GUY...wait...what is a guy?" Scoot asked herself. "Whats a guy?" Sweetie Belle asked. "'Guy' is a word?" Applebloom asked. "What are you three lame blank flanks talking about? And what IS a guy?" Diamond asked. "Dear gosh I forgot you were horses. Or...ponies. Either way...you are Captain Scootaloo, first general in Disney Kingdom and leader of the solders. And you brought me here because you wanted to fight. Who we fighting?" the shield asked. "Wait...I can bring you out when I want?" Scoot asked. "Yeah...why do you sound so scared?" the shield asked.
"This...is...AWESOME! Girls, I can make this appear if I wanted too!" Scoot told them. "Uh...yeah...anyway, I am the strongest shield in the whole galaxy. If anything tries to hurt or crash into you, I will just magically appear in your eyes. Got that?" the shield told them. "You three blank flanks are weird. Just hand me the shield and I wont tell Ms. Cheerlie that you were going to hurt me with the shield." Diamond told them. "Give me to her." the shield said. "WHAT?! No! I not letting a bully take you from me!" Scoot whispered to the shield. "Watch what my master put in me. Its really cool! Trust me. Imagine if its just like...a...magic trick! Yeah!" the shield said. Scoot thought her shield was crazy, but she did it anyway. "Thank you." Diamond mocked. A few seconds later, the shield made the most beautiful sound they have ever heard as it disappeared, and reapeared in Scoots hoof. "What I tell ya?" the shield told Scoot.
She stared in awe as it sat there in her fore-hoof. "What...just...happened?" Applebloom asked. Everpony in the school froze as it magically appeared in Scoots hoof, even the teacher stared in awe. The bell rang and it got everponies attention. "School is over my little ponies. Have a nice day!" Ms. Cheerlie told them. They all cheered except for the CMC and the two unwanted guest, Diamond and Silver. "Uh...lets go find that "door" now." Scoot said. After she finished, her helmet and shield disappeared. They nodded as the CMC left, leaving the two guest still standing there, proccesing the information on what happened.
