The train pulled into the Ponyville station. The doors opened and passengers exited while others entered. The Mane 6 got to the station in time and ran into the train with their bags. The got into their seats and settled.
“So, what do you think it is this time? I mean all the villains we faced are either reformed or gone!” Pinkie said.
“Shush, Pinkie! We don’t want ponies to panic.” Twilight whispered.
“Riiiight.”
The ride went slow and quiet but they soon arrived in Canterlot. The train halted to a stop and they got off. They walked off to the castle and stood in front of the entrance two guards stood in their way, as usual.
“Halt! Who goes there?”
“Twilight Sparkle and my friends were called by Princess Celestia herself.”
“Ah yes, Twilight. You may enter.”
The doors opened and they walked in and made their way to the throne room. The doors were opened and Princess Celestia and Princess Luna sat together in Celestia’s throne. They caught sight of the 6 mares and the baby dragon and they halted their silent whispers to each other. They each bowed as the princesses walked down to greet them.
“Thank you for coming.” Princess Celestia, the eldest white alicorn said.
They rose from their bow and nodded.
“We came as soon as we could. What seems to be the problem?” Twilight asked.
“It seems to be that Equestria may be in grave danger… I don’t know how or even why it’s happening but it is and we need to start preparing as soon as we can. I had a dream… or a vision, as my sister said it was. Equestria was buried in snow and harsh winds and snow blew across the land. This was no act of Pegasi, for it was much stronger than usual…”
“Still not getting the point…” Rainbow Dash said.
“Rainbow! Manners.” Twilight said to her.
“It’s alright. Yes, to get to the point, this is a force that you girls have faced before and not too long ago it was.”
“Is it Discord??” Pinkie asked and gasped loudly.
“No of course not, Discord is reformed, right Princess Celestia?” Fluttershy said, almost asking.
“Yes, Discord is… reformed so it isn’t him. It’s something more dangerous. Sombra has returned.”
“King Sombra? But I thought the Crystal Heart and it’s power got rid of him for good!” Twilight said.
“It seems that somehow he has been regenerated, or even, that is what is happening at this very moment. I don’t think the Heart has destroyed every last part of him. Something has been spared and it is causing his regeneration.” Princess Luna, the youngest dark blue alicorn replied.
“Did you bring the Elements, Twilight?”
“I did, Princesses.”
Twilight unzipped her suitcase and used her magic taking out a box. She opened it and inside layed 5 necklaces and 1 crown. They each had a stone that looked like their owners cutie mark.
“Very good, Twilight, We feel that these would be very helpful in defeating Sombra completely.”
“Oh, he’ll be gone after we’re done with him!” Rainbow said with confidence. “He doesn’t know the power of Friendship yet!”
“Let’s hope that it works. You girls are Equestria’s only hope.” Celestia said to them.
~Meanwhile~
“Are you sure?”
“I have seen what those little charms of their can do. You cannot win unless you take each of them down.”
“They are just pathetic mares. How can six little ponies stop a force such as me?”
“Those ponies are more than you think they are. You cannot underestimate them just because of how harmless they look. Those charms of theirs can defeat you if you are careless. Join me and we will be unstoppable.”
“How can I trust you?”
“Because I have an army at my disposal and at this moment, they aren’t even aware of the idea of the both of us even coming for them. Come on, join me and I shall offer my army to your disposal.”
“What is it that you want?”
“I want to get rid of those six and offer a better life for my subjects. That is all I desire. I want Equestria. I can help you.”
“It’s a deal.”
