Twilight was awoken violently by what was ...screaming? Jutted from her peaceful sleep, Twilight looked around her still dark room. Spike sat on the ledge of the window, with a look of pure fear on his face. Through the window Twilight could see the soft glow on the night night sky. She knew what it meant, but hoped it wasn't true.
"Spike," She began tenitively."Whats going on?"Twilight asked, fearful of the answer.
"Well...um...er, Twi you need to see this." Twilight slowly got out of bed and moved towards the window. What she saw was a horror.
flames belowed out of the houses and ran wild through all of ponyville. Ponies ran through the streets, pegasi were franticaly trying to to put out the fires; the town was in chaos.
"What happened Spike?" Twilight muttered, almost whispering.
"I donno', I woke upfor a midnight snack, and the town was already like this." His voice was shaking alittle. "But..." He added "I think they have something to do with it..." He pointed a claw out the window. Twilight looked out at where Spike was pointing. There was a group of ponies, all with purple band on their forlegs. The earth ponies held tortches in their mouths, pegasi were droping crude fire bombs and the unicornshad glowing weapons floating infront of them.Twilight was shocked to see a group of Royal Guard fighting with some of theunicorns.
She turned to Spike and said "Spike, we need to send a letter to the princess imediatly!"
"I've tried Twilight but, she hasn't responded yet."
"hmmm....Quick go find Rainbow dash and fly to Canterlot to inform the princess."
"Yes sir, ah er ma'am' Spike said giveing a small salute before runing off. After his his departure, Twilight turned her attintion back outside. The flames continued to grow larger by the second. Twilight could see the baby dragon run towards her friends cloud home.
"Celestia help us." she said looking out the window. Twilight turned and walked to her bookshelf. After several minutes of deliberation, she pulled the most valuable books; being a small libary ,she only gathered 5 books. She levetated the books into her saddlebags and the her bags onto her back. The bags wieghed heavily on her small frame, but hopefully her friends would share in her burden.
Twilight started to plan what she would go. Frist she'd got to Pinkie at surgarcube corner and Rarity's beautique, seeing that they were in town and most in danger. After meeting her two friends, they would go to the the Apples farms, then to Fluttershys cottage to ride this whole thing out.
"oh i hope Fluttershy doesn't know what's going on here," she mused"she'd be so worried ." Twilight walked out of the room and started down the stairs calmly. Although her exterior was placid, Twilights mind was a rageing tempist of questions and confusion. Once down stairs, she romaged around the pantry for any and all she could carry without being overincumbered. Twilight marked this task off her mental checklist and went over the next steps.
"Okay now to the Carisel Beutique to get Rarity and..."She was cut off mid-thought. As she stepped out of the doorway of the ketchen she saw a group of ponies in the main room. Before Twilight could react one of the unicorns' horns glowed, and a blast of energy sent Twilight flying back into a bookcase. Books rained down on her partaly numb body. While fading in and out of consesnece, She saw the attacking mare draw closer. She had a silvery blue mane and light blue coat. She wore a black cape with stars and cresant moons on it, she also bore a cheshire grin. Twilight had seen her before, but from where? Before Twilight fully blacked out the mare leaned in and whispered
"Revenge at last."
