Written by: Moonlight Spark —————————————————— Previously on Fairy Tail… Makarov: It seems they have returned. Natsu: Hey Ember. What's up? Ember: Bloodmoon said we need to meet him outside. Come on. Typhoone: This is getting boring! I want those fairies now!! *the guards in the entrance was blown back to the park as Natsu knock them out cold.* Blizzard: So, we meet again, fairies. Lucy: Why are you doing this? Typhoone: Simple... Eclipse: Control...of the minds of everypony. *Dark clouds gathered as Bloodmoon slowly walk towards them. Ember followed as they both stop in front of the dark wizards.* *The dark clouds swirled in the air as something tall was materializing in front of them. Then they saw him, Lord Cysgod.   Cysgod: My name is Lord Cysgod Pal'laq The Deceiver, and you must be the dark magic wizard, Bloodmoon. And this must be the holy light mage, Ember Blaze. I've heard so much about you two. We bid you farewell for now, Fairy Tail. But don't think this is over. Cause this is just the beginning… Makarov: It's seems they're bringing war against Equestria. We must put a stop to their plans. Bloodmoon, Ember, you two will lead a group as you will attack them at their guild hall. Go, and stop Grimoire Mind! The fate of Equestria rest in your hooves. Fairy Tail: Let's do this!! Makarov: 'Be careful, children.' Cysgod: It's time… *Cloud Dasher opened his eyes, his green eyes turned into crimson red eyes as a black aura was leaking in the corner of his eyes.* —————————————————— Ponyville… Twilight and Spike did their morning routine by organizing the library in the castle. “Twilight!!” Rainbow Dash suddenly zoomed inside and stop in front of them. She has a worried look and was sweating. “What's wrong, Rainbow?” Twilight asked. “It's Cloud, he's gone!” She replied. “Where could he be?” Twilight asked “When I was about to wake him up, he was already out of bed. But then I kept looking for him everywhere but he wasn't anywhere.” Rainbow said as she was about to panic. “Calm down, Rainbow. He's probably back at Fairy Tail.” Spike said calmly. “Spike’s right. He must have already left Ponyville.” Twilight said. “Well, what are you waiting for? Let's go!” Rainbow Dash said as she flies out of the castle towards the train station. “We should tell the others, Spike.” Twilight looked at the dragon as he nodded before they both ran to tell the rest of their friends. At the train station, the group saw Rainbow Dash eagerly waiting for the train to Manehattan. Rainbow noticed them as they walk towards her. “What are you guys doing here?” She asked. “Isn’t it obvious, darling?” Rarity asked. “Were here to help you find Cloud.” Pinkie said as she has a huge smile on her face. “That is if you want.” Fluttershy added timidly. “Eeyup. And if were going to Fairy Tail, we might as well meet with Natsu and the others.” Applejack agreed. “Don't worry, Rainbow. We're all in this together.” Twilight said as she gave a small smile. “Thanks, you guys.” Rainbow responded as she gave a small smile. “Oh, oh, trains here!” Pinkie was pointing at the train. Once the train stopped at the station, the group got on board the train towards Manehattan. —————————————————— Inside Fairy Tail… Makarov was away in a meeting with the other guild masters at Las Pegasus. Cloud arrived not too long ago, his eyes was returned to his normal green eyes as he walk towards the center. Fleur was levitating mugs of cider to the other members. “Hello there, Cloud.” Fleur greeted with a smile. “Hello, Fleur. Is master Makarov here? I wanted to talk to him.” He said calmly. Lord Cysgod was watching him from a magical orb back in his lair. “I'm afraid he's not here. He and the other guild masters were having a meeting in Las Pegasus. He should be back later.” She exclaimed as she walk towards the entrance. “Where are you going?” He asked curiously. “I'm need to get to Canterlot, I have some important matters to deal with. I'll be back not long.” She said as she gave a smile before walking towards the train station. Cysgod cracked a wicked grin as he watch her leave the building. “Perfect…” —————————————————— Meanwhile with Bloodmoon’s group… They reached the entrance of Grimoire Mind’s hideout. As expected, a group of dark wizards was blocking their path. “Guess we have to fight our way in.” Bloodmoon said calmly. “Alright! Let’s go!!” Natsu shouted as he flew pass Bloodmoon and towards the dark wizards, his hooves and wings were on fire. “Natsu! Grrrr…come on!” Bloodmoon and the others followed Natsu and the battle was on. “FIRE DRAGON ROAR!!” Natsu inhales, gathering fire in their mouth, and then releases such fire in the direction of the dark wizards, creating a large, exploding fireball. As the fireball exploded, those who were near the explosion were sent flying at a small distance. Some of the unicorn mages launched an attack of dark shadow balls towards the group. “Ice make: Shield!” Gray’s horn lit up as he creates a large shield in front of them. The shield is made of multiple pointed segments that connect to form the shield “Light Shield!” Ember’s horn lit up as well as a large shield of light covered Gray’s shield with her own. As the shadow ball was absorbed by Ember’s shield and only cracked it, the shield disappeared as Sunset jumped out behind the ice shield. “Fire Bullet!” She aimed at the group of unicorns as her horn released a large, bullet-like stream of fire towards the mages. Drac and Abyssal were fighting side by side against a group of earth ponies with swords in their mouth. As three of the earth ponies charged towards Abyssal, but they suddenly stopped as they started shaking in fear. “That unicorn… It can't be.” One of the earth ponies said in fear as they dropped their swords “He's one of Fairy Tail’s strongest wizard.” Another stallion added. “He's...he's the king of the fairies, Abyssal Shield!” The third stallion finished as Abyssal stared at them. A blink of an eye, the three stallions fell to the ground unconscious as Abyssal was behind them. He stared coldly at the rest of the earth ponies. The other earth ponies slowly backed away but stopped at a voice. “What do you think your doing? He's completely outnumbered, get him!!” The leader ordered as they all grab their swords with their mouth and started charging towards Abyssal. Meanwhile, Drac was having his own problems. He took out his signature hammer and jumped to the air. “Volcanic slam!!” He raised his war hammer to the air as it was on fire and lands near the earth ponies as he slammed his hammer to the ground near them, the ground around him suddenly cracked and fire suddenly burst out if the cracks. It also caused a shockwave which blew the earth ponies around him off their feet. Bloodmoon looked around him as he was surrounded. He closed his as he charges up a spell. “Nightmare Cocoon.” He opened his eyes as he stomped his hoof to the ground. Then all of a sudden, the ground beneath him and the surrounding dark wizards turned into a black colored ground. The black substance suddenly crawled at their hooves as they were unable to run. The substance turned into a cocoon of chaos magic and inside was the dark wizards, all unconscious. After a few minutes, the battle was over as fairy tail stood tall. But then the doors of the guild hall suddenly opened as they all went inside. There, they saw five different doors. The middle door was larger than the rest and was magically locked tight. “Inside must be Cysgod’s lair. And the only way we can unlock it is if we beat those four dark wizards.” Bloodmoon explained. “We should split up and choose a door. Then we'll meet back here, understood?” Ember asked as they nodded in agreement. “Alright, me and Ember will take the door at the far left.” Bloodmoon said calmly. “Drac and I will take the far right.” Abyssal exclaimed. “Me, Lucy, and Happy will take the second door on the left.” Natsu said with a toothy grin. “Then that leaves me and Gray to take care on the second door on the right.” Sunset said. “Alright then it's settled. Be careful, everypony. We'll meet back here.” Bloodmoon said. “Okay!” They said simultaneously. Each pair stepped inside their respective doors as they get ready for what’s in store for them...
