It was a warm sunny day in Ponyville as a young purple unicorn was busy with her duties, as usual. Her name was Twilight Sparkle, star student to none other than Princess Celestia, the Princess of the Sun who ruled with her sister Princess Luna, the Princess of the Moon. She was also one of the Mane 6, also known as the legendary Elements of Harmony, and she represented the strongest Element: Magic, along with her friends.
"SPIKE! I NEED YOU!" Twilight yelled to her assistant, who came down the stairs looking a little peeved.
"Yes Twilight, what is the matter? You interrupted my lunch break..." He said with a groan.
"Sorry Spike, but I needed your help, as I was looking into an old section of the Library I found an old book. It is titled "Myths and Legends of Ponyville's Unicorn and Alicorn Magic." I can tell it is a very old book, at least a couple of centuries, and need you to help me flip it over so I can read it since it landed upside down."
"That shouldn't be a problem, I've been working out to impress my Rarity" he said flexing his muscles. Twi just sighed and decided to ignore him since everypony and their mother knew that he will never succeed. They proceeded to the oldest section of the Golden Oaks Library, and the wing was dedicated to none other than Starswirl. About that time, they saw a familiar pink pegasus bouncing down the halls at full speed.
"TWI! I just had an episode... My right back fetlock keeps popping, my mane won't stop itching, and my wings won't close." Pinkie said with a giggle and a grin, but concern was in her voice. How she became a pegasus is not known to anypony so there were plently of rumors as to how that happened.
Both Spike and Twilight's eyes grew wide in fear and they suddenly got out their emergency umbrella hats. "What does that combination mean Pinkie Pie?" Spike asked out of curiosity.
"There is gonna be a rift in the Space-Time Continuum, and it is gonna be BIG!" She replied.
"Well, since nothing has happened yet, why don't you join us? I'm having Spike help lift a book and since you have wings, do you want to help?"
"Okie Dokie Loki" She cheerfully replied. They walked for what seemed like forever until they saw it. Spike's mouth dropped as he saw the book Twi was talking about, it was at least 3 feet thick and covered in dust. Judging by its size, he guessed it weighed close to 200 lbs.
"You sure you can't do this by yourself? I forgot to tell you that I hurt my back lifting weights this morning". He proceeded to act hurt, but he knew Twilight didn't buy the act.
"All I need you and Pinkie to do is lift one corner."
Suddenly, Spike burped and produced a letter with the royal seal. Twilight snatched it with her magic and proceeded to read:
"Dear Twilight Sparkle,
I feel that something is about to happen that will change all of our destinies, including the very Elements themselves. I trust you and your friends to discover what this will be, for this is your new mission. I have already dispatched for your friends to meet you at your current location.
Sincerely,
Princess Celestia"
As if on cue, Rainbow Dash, Fluttershy, Rarity, and AJ came into the room.
"We all got da' same letter, what's going on Twi?" AJ asked.
"I don't know, but can you please help lift this book since Spike is being a baby?" They all nodded and managed, after 15 minutes, to lift a corner. Twi then flipped the book over and opened it, releasing a bright purple light. After it died down, they all looked and saw something that blew their minds, it was a portal. They could almost feel the power surging within their bodies and the Elements as well as they put on their saddlebags.
"Well girls, here goes nothing" Twilight said as she lead them all through to destinations unknown.
