Celestia had the strangest feeling today, the air seemed different. It seemed full of suspense and a hint of dread. She tried to pass it off as something unimportant, but it managed to creep back into her mind preventing her from ignoring it. Celestia has a white coat and mix of pink green and blue in her mane and tail, both of which constantly flow, since her level of Magic was so high it resulted in that. Now Celestia is an Alicorn, a winged unicorn, and she is over 1000 years of age yet is still very elegant in appearance. Her cutie mark is the sun, since she is in charge of making it rise and fall every day. Her little sister Luna was picking up on her sister's distress, worried for her. Luna is an Alicorn as well, her coat a midnight blue and her mane and tail the same as her sisters in appearance, but a starry midnight blue in color. Her cutie mark being a darker blue, looking like an ink blot with some splatter around it with a white crescent mark inside of it. Now this fits her, since she's in charge of making the moon rise and fall every night.

"Dearest sister," Luna began to get her attention, "what has you so troubled this day?"

"Many of things Luna," Celestia said, "I feel as though times will be dark, but I also feel the smallest sense of hope." She said somberly before the doors to the royal chambers were knocked upon in a rather frantic manner. Celestia used her magic to open the door, "Princesses, forgive the intrusion, but there is something you must see" an attendant said.

"Very well" Celestia said as she and her sister followed the attendant to whatever it was. The sisters were surprised however by the sight of a lavender furred cat, unconscious. Beside her were a silver furred hedgehog and a brown raccoon. "My goodness" Celestia said before ordering her staff to treat the 3 individuals.

"Are you sure they pose no threat sister?" Luna asked. Celestia looked at her with a soft smile, "when they wake, we'll find out won't we?" she asked. Luna just sighed and smiled back at her, trusting her elder sibling.

Everfree forest

Sonic had recovered greatly since Zecora had found him and gave him that strange tasting concoction. He sat up slowly, having regained the strength to do so easily. /I may never get the taste out of my mouth/ he thought as he turned his head to examine his surroundings. A lot of tribal masks and knick knacks lined the walls.

"Ah, by my pot of jade, a full recovery you have made" Zecora said as she walked up to him. "Tell me child, do you feel free and wild?" she asked

"As close to it as I'll ever be Zecora." He replied with a smile. "Thank you"

"It is no trouble, as long as like my cauldron, you still bubble" she said. Sonic arched a brow at the analogy, since he kind of understood what she meant. He decided to smile after deciding too much thinking hurts his brain.

Fluttershy's Cottage

"Eat up my little friends" Fluttershy said as she watched the animals eat their meals that she laid out for them. Even her pet rabbit Angel was eating, since Fluttershy managed to stop spoiling the little guy. The peace in her cottage was soon broken by a squirrel running in looking frantic.

"Oh, what is the matter Mrs. Squirrel?" Fluttershy asked before being led by the squirrel to whatever had it so frantic. Fluttershy followed her for what seemed like a few minutes before gasping at the sight of it. A yellow furred fox, with two tails, unconscious. "Oh my goodness" she said before moving closer to investigate. /oh…what do I do?/ she wondered.

Meanwhile At the Cake Shop

Pinkie Pie was being her usual bouncy self, playing with Pound Cake and Pumpkin Cake while the Cake's were working on their namesake. The peace was broken by a commotion followed by a knock at the door. "I got it!" Pinkie cheered happily before answering it to a strange sight. A green crocodile with headphones on, carrying a pink hedgehog, a tan colored rabbit and her blue chao, and a bee. "Help…please" he managed to say before collapsing, making sure not to land on the other 3.

"Oh my" Mrs. Cake said before she, her husband, and Pinkie moved to help the 4 of them. Pinkie was still utterly surprised, /I don't know if a party can even help define what is going on around here/ she thought

Rarity's Carousel Boutique

"Well…I was planning on not having to fix that roof" Rarity thought as she looked at the hole in the roof. The sight below said hole was a big fat purple cat, with a bat on top of it. She sighed, nothing was ever easy for her.

"Hm? What happened?" the bat asked as she got up, rubbing her head from the ache. Turning her gaze she noticed Rarity, "and where the heck am i?" she wondered.

"Hello, my name is Rarity, welcome to my boutique" she said with a somewhat forced smile.

"My name is Rouge. Rouge the bat" she said smiling a bit. Looking up she noticed a hole in the ceiling. Turning her gaze down she noticed Big. "Oopsie" she said with a nervous smile.

"We're gonna have to work this off won't we?" she asked. "Oh. Big time" Rarity answered

Big woke up at that moment confused but knowing they were gonna be there a while. "You know now that I look at you…you can model" she said to Rouge. Rouge blushed at the proposition. "That'll be my work?" she asked

"Oh yes darling, all the proceeds from my magazine sales with you on the cover will go to fixing that hole in the roof" she said happily. "What about Big?" Rouge asked referring to the cat. "He can help around here with cleaning and various other things" Rarity answered.

"sounds good" Big said happily as Froggy jumped onto Rouge, earning a shriek from her as she jumped away after getting the frog off of her.

Meanwhile in the skies of Ponyville

Rainbow Dash was flying at her usual fast speed, pulling off tricks and maneuvers as she exclaimed her utter joy and exhilaration of flying fast. She had the biggest smile as she did Shuttle Loops and Barrel Rolls, and was about to start a super maneuver as she referred to it. Though just as she began a blinding glint caught her eye and she looked down. "The hay?" she wondered before diving toward it.

Espio was meditating, Omega standing next to him. Both unmoving and silent, even as Dash descended to the ground near them. "What?" she wondered, a little startled. /another one of those things?/ she thought, getting ready to give it a good buck.

"Hold your aggression" Espio said before standing and going over to Dash, "we mean no harm" he said.

"Yeah. Like I'm supposed to believe that. Those things attacked me" she said, emphasis on the word things. Espio and Omega looked at one another, "you fought against other Eggman's robots" Omega said in his robotic voice.

"Eggman? Robots?" Dash asked confused, "what are you talking about?" she was prepared to rush them.

"We will explain, if you relax" Espio said with an easy gaze. As much as Dash just wanted to beat them and save her friends something about Espio was stopping her. She sighed, "Alright"

"My name is Espio, The Chameleon. This is E-123 Omega. But we just call him Omega." Espio said.

/a chameleon huh?/ Dash thought, "my name is Rainbow Dash. Now what can you tell me about what's going on?" she asked
