Inside a cave, deep within the frozen tundra of the north, four young heroes were venturing forward, in hopes to find a relic that was said to have been used by Godcat herself.
"Come on guys! I think the relic is this way!" The green-haired female archer yelled towards her friends and companions. The archer, named Anna, is the youngest of the 4 heroes. She had just recently joined the group and is now the second female of the group. She was raised in Greenwood Village, which was a village situated in the forest at the east and is full of lush green plants as well as a friend to many of the woodland creatures that lives in the very woods. One of them was the 'Great and Mighty Oak', in which this creature is the guardian of the woods. The creature itself is a mix between an oak tree and a robot, but mostly robot. Even though she is the youngest of the group, she has a deadly aim (which can rival the accuracy of the gunner in the team) with her bow, being able to rain arrows on a certain place as well as fire arrows that can pierce through enemies with ease. She was wearing her favourite clothing, a green dress with a brown line that went across the rim and perfectly suited her 'forest ranger' theme, as well as her weapon which is a bow aptly named 'Gia's Bow'. It still never dawned onto her that she somehow has an endless supply of arrows.
"I don't trust these paintings on the walls. The cat pictures just seem to stare into my soul" The dark red-haired male gunner mumbled to himself, just loud enough so that the other two just beside him could hear him. This young man is named Lance. He was roughly around the same age as two of the others in the group is. Lance was a former officer of a group that tried to take over the entire world using his 'Valkyrie War Tank'. Lance was then defeated by his first two companions that he went around the world with, just before they all met Anna. Even though that he was defeated, Lance still wears his uniform, a black officer coat with white on the rims of the sleeves with a yellow shirt and a black tie just underneath, a black pair of officer pants, and an officers hat with a grey skull on the front. His coat also bore medals, one of which was a black iron cross.
His main weapon that he always carries around with him is a black gunblade that was made especially for him as well as a seemingly endless supply of bullets for his gunblade and although he uses this gunblade as his primary, he always carries around a BIGGER gun on his back, ranging from a sniper rifle to a huge heavy metal claw-like gun. Lance also carries a small walkie-talkie that he can use to send in things such as medical field packs, airstrikes as well as call in an Orbital Strike Cannon. Then, there is his tank that he uses for good instead. Able to spray millions of bullets, fire a powerful explosive cannon shot as well as launch a nuclear bomb.
"I kind off find the pictures quite cute actually" The orange-haired girl spoke out loud, giggling softly as she saw a picture depicting a cat with no legs, holding a lance as if it was protecting something valuable. Her name is Natalie. Natz for short. She is the mage of the group, being able to cast deadly spells with her magic. From a shower of damaging stars to a spell that can drop temperatures to absolute zero, from a simple healing spell that could heal the entire team to a spell that revive dead teammates as well as having the effect to buff her teammates as well as weaken her foes with a single pose, she is a force to be reckoned with.
She was holding her favourite staff, 'Seraphim'. A pure white staff with white wing like structure at the side, a ruby that connected the staff from the wing-like structure as well as a blue crystal that was tied to the staff with a yellow string. She was also wearing clothing that fit the same theme as her staff, holy. She was wearing a beautiful pope dress that is a pure white with the trim of the dress having a lining of both the colours yellow and red, a pope hat that has both yellow and lining at the rim with a blue sapphire in the middle as well as a aankh that sat comfortably on top of her breasts. This was also one problem she faced constantly, before meeting Anna of course. Compared to Anna, Natalie has big breasts. This kept making her uncomfortable due to the fact that sometimes she would spot the two guys stare at her boobs.
"Ah don't worry bout it! Its just paintings after all. I can't wait to see this relic thing. I heard its worth MILLIONS!" The blonde-haired swordsman gave his friend Lance a huge grin. Then, there's this guys. His name is Matt and is the swordsman of the team. Most of his skills were of swordsmanship, however, he has a small amount of knowledge in magic. This is only limited to him casting a protective physical barrier, boosting his own physical strength as well as casting a spell that will literally rape the ears of those who hear it. He travelled around the world alone, before he met his teammates, stealing or finding any cool swords he could find, in which one of them he is holding right now, the 'Heavens Gate'. He always wore a black, captains vest with a with a black shirt underneath that also has a picture of a skull, black pants that had some holes in it, but was sewn together with some cloth, as well as a captains hat that has a single, white feather at the back. He also wore a dark red scarf, but as time past, it got battered and torn. He has many swords that he collected, or stolen, over the years. The Heavens Gate is his favourite, all because of the fact that it was the first sword he had ever gotten. The sword itself was given to him by a girl named Cat, in which HE named it Heavens Gate.
"MEOW!" The dark blue no-legged cat spoke in his own native language. This fella's, aptly named No Legs the cat, is both the pet and partner of Matt. The two had known each other for a long time, even before when Matt went on his first adventure with him. No Legs is a great help to the team. He will always help bring them food from god knows where, bring them potions to heal themselves as well as the occasional help in battle. When the team is battle, No Legs would use his sword and shield, which he is able to pick up and use WITHOUT the help of paws, and would help out by slashing the opposing forces.

"Come on guys! I can see the relic already!" Anna shouted excitedly as she pointed inside an opening, jumping in the same spot as well as signalling for her teammates to follow. The four adventurers have been looking high and low for this ancient relic. Many have believed that Godcat herself used this relic in creating everything in the entire universe. Some say that Godcat planned to use this to help with her extermination of the humans on the planet. Others say that it is just a myth and that Godcat just never simply existed. Those who said the latter, were horribly wrong.
After many tedious tries in trying to locate the damned relic in this cave, the entire group, except for Anna, were quite tired by now. Everyone was panting heavily as they all had to climb a high cliff, fight off tons of crystal golems as well as having to outrun a rolling boulder that was intended to crush them.
"Can...we....take...a....break....?" Natalie asked in between breaths. Natalie had to do a lot of climbing and running, two things that she had never really done much.
"Sure. We can stop for a breather I guess. But the relic is RIGHT THERE!" Anna exclaimed, making sure she had put a lot of emphasis on 'RIGHT THERE'. Both Matt and Lance took a glance at the sight in front of them.
It was an orb, made out of, what Anna could tell with her knowledge of Godcat, pure cosmic energy that was moulded into a sphere like object. The orb itself is white, only having a few sky-blue spots at the base, which was touching the pedestal that it was on. Anna was the one that was most mesmerised by the thing, due to the fact that she had never seen anything more beautiful than the orb itself. When she tried to touch it, she was rewarded with a warm tingly feeling, which she withdrew her hand from the sudden feeling. It felt like she was touching something warm, like a cup of hot chocolate, without actually touching it. However, she didn't hesitate the second time. As soon as her hand made contact with it, the orb was now faintly glowing, lighting up the area that was surrounding it with a faint white glow that also seemed to radiate immense power.
When Natalie gathered enough strength to walk again, she made her way to the group and saw the ancient relic that was now in Anna's hands.
"Hey guys! There's something written on this crystal stand....'No one shall touch the Great and Powerful Orb of the Cosmos'...The heck does that suppose to mean?" Matt asked, taking off his hat, revealing that some of his hair was braided.
"It means that we shouldn't have touched it....Guys....I think we may have made a bad decision" Lance told his companions. He too was wondering why they had been told not to touch it. Maybe it still could be dangerous? He did not know for sure. Then, at the corner of his eyes, Lance saw Natalie rubbing her head, as if she had a major headache, which she did.
"Ughh....My head doesn't feel too well..."Natalie groaned as she kneeled down and grabbed her head, Matt now Instantly by her side. The two of them have been partners for so long, even before they had met the others, that they always took care of each other, especially when one of them gets injured. If, however, the both of them get injured or is sick, Natalie was always the one who would be caring for their needs, even if she too was in pain.
Suddenly, the orb itself began to grow even brighter. When this happened, Natalie clenched her teeth and gripped her head even more so as the pain began to grow more and more unbearable. Then, something strange happened. After a while, the glowing from the orb soon disappeared, but as this happened, Natalie suddenly collapsed. Matt tried to shake her awake, obviously scared about that Natalie had just fainted. It was then that Natalie suddenly awoke, but not with the same sapphire blue eyes that all her friends know, but instead, her eyes were the colour of pure white, which seemed to radiate with intense magic and was also glowing very brightly.
Anna was gripping onto Lance tightly, deathly afraid that she might meet her doom. Instead of all four of the young adventurers meeting their inevitable death, the four of them were sucked into an inescapable black hole that was caused by Natalie's unstable magic. The black hole soon swallowed everything inside the place, every chest that was hidden, every weapon that the heroes had, all four of the adventurers as well as the relic itself. Nothing else remained inside. Nothing but the shimmering crystals that were on the walls and some dust that were laying on the floor.

Ponyville. A small town that many cheerful ponies lived. One of them was Carrot Top, whom was selling her freshly picked carrots in the market. Another one of them is BonBon. She was selling many associated sweets in her store to some colts, fillies and other ponies. But one particular pony was in a hurry. This young mare was running, hoping that she could reach the library in time, as all her friends were waiting for her inside.
She is the town's librarian as well as one of the Elements of Harmony, the Element of Magic. She, is Twilight Sparkle. A lavender coloured unicorn with purple eyes, dark purple mane and tail with a line of pink in the middle. She was wearing a pair of dark blue jeans and a purple blouse that bore her cutie mark at the back, a pink star in the middle with five white stars surrounding it. She was carrying some books, that she borrowed from Ditzy about cooking, in her hands, struggling to keep them in place.
When she had reached the library, she didn't bother much about opening the door in a civilised manner. Instead, she tackled the door opened, flinging herself onto the floor as well as making all the books she was carrying, fly all over the place. Some of which even landed on top of friends faces. When Twilight regained her balance, vision and sense of consciousness, she looked at her friends with a sheepish smile.
"Sorry about that girls" Twilight apologised, gaining some smiles from her friends.
"Nah. It's nuthin' Twi. Anyways, Ah brought the cider like ya girls wanted" The orange earth pony grinned. Her name is Applejack. Proud owner of Sweet Apple Acres and is also one of the other five Elements of Harmony, hers being the Element of Honesty. She was currently wearing a brown vest with a white shirt underneath, a pair of dark blue pants as well as wearing her trademark Stetson hat with her mane and tail tied with a red band.
"And I brought the games! We will have so much fun fun fun!!" The pink earth pony hopped around the room, as if she was having a sugar rush. Her name is Pinkie Pie. She works at the town bakery, Sugarcube Corner and is also one of the other Elements of Harmony, in which she represents the Element of Laughter. Pinkie was currently wearing a pink blouse with a light blue skirt that went all the way to her knee. Her mane and tail is also pink and also smells and looks like cotton candy.
"And I brought the makeup~!" The white unicorn said in a sing-a-like kind of voice. This pony's name is Rarity. She is the lovely fashion designer and works at Carousel Boutique. At first glance, ponies often mistake her as a high class, rich and snobby pony, in which most cases are true. However, she is has a generous soul, often helping her friend with their clothing for free. Thats why her Element is the Element of Generosity. She was currently wearing a white dress with sapphires encrusted at the rim of the dress. Her mane and tail is colour purple, but, a lighter shade of purple, rather than Twilight's mane colour.
"Awww Yeaaa!! Cider!!" The blue pegasus jumped and fist-pumped the air. Her name is Rainbow Dash. The fastest pegasus in all of Equestria, according to her at least. She is a weather pony, helping out at the weather factory in Cloudsdale. Her Element is the Element of Loyalty, which suits her well as she is also the most loyal pony that Twilight has ever known. Most of the time. She was wearing a pair of blue pants, a sky-blue shirt that has a picture of several ponies and a dark blue jacket. Reason why she is called Rainbow Dash is due to the fact that she has both, a rainbow mane and tail.
And lastly, the pony whom was quiet all the time, is Fluttershy, the butter-yellow pegasus. She was standing beside Rainbow and Pinkie and was smiling towards her friend. As the name implies, she can be very very shy, especially towards things that she doesn't know of. Even though she is shy towards most ponies, she is almost never shy towards an animal, whether it be a lion, a bunny or a bear. She is the town's animal caretaker, and she does one hell of a good job. That's why she is the Element of Kindness. Out of all the ponies that Twilight had known in her life, nopony beats Fluttershy when it comes to being kind. Fluttershy was currently wearing a yellow sweatshirt that seemed to be very loose for her, a light green skirt and three pink butterfly hair clips that suited her light pink mane and tale.
Twilight smiled at her friends. Long before she had known the five of them, she was always a introverted bookworm. She would always stay at home and read books until night. She didn't have very many friends at school either. Reason being was that she thought that if she would have friends, they would only hinder her studies. So her mentor, Princess Celestia herself, gave her a task about learning the magic of Friendship. In the end, it all went quite well. Now, Twilight is no longer an introverted bookworm. She's now more of a social bookworm. Having tons of friends while still retaining her bookworm self.
The sky around Ponyville then began to grow darker and darker, as if there was going to be rain, even though rain wasn't to be scheduled yet. However, they soon began to notice that the clouds were not emitting any rain as of yet. Instead, the clouds were giving off lightning. Purple lightning. When Twilight noticed this, she instantly knew this was no ordinary storm, but a magic storm that emits powerful lightning of pure arcane magic. Celestia had said that the last time this happened, half of Canterlot got demolished.
What happened next was just bizarre. As the ponies were looking out the window, the dark storm clouds were now giving out a faint white light that seemed to point at Ponyville square. The dark storm clouds then shot out 4 figures, which were now plummeting towards the town square. Afterwards, the dark clouds just seemed to vanish, as if nothing ever happened.
The first thing that came to Twilight's mind were to investigate what those 4 figures were.
"Girls.....I think we may have to postpone our gathering..." Twilight said to her friends, still gazing at the sky, wondering what those things might be.
