Ponyville, Treehouse Library.
“W-W-We gotta stop Nightmare! Ugh…” Said Spike as he was placed on his bed and instantly fell asleep peacefully.
“Heh, you've been up all night, Spike. You are a baby Dragon after all.” Said Twilight as she left the room to give her assistant a good night rest.
Now to deal with the real problem. Nightmare Moon's return!
It was horrible. Nightmare’s reappearance not only made the ponies believe she's real, she thrown Equestria into nighttime forever! However, there is hope. The Elements of Harmony! They are the only thing that can stop Nightmare Moon for good, and bring things back to normal! But there's just one problem…
Where are the Elements of Harmony?!
It was time for some research!
“Elements! Elements! Elements! Ugh! How can I stop Nightmare Moon without the Elements of Harmony?!” Yelled Twilight as she looked through the library to find a book that contained information about Elements of Harmony. But she couldn't find it. Just where is it?!
“And just what are the Elements of Harmony?!”
“Huh?”
A rainbow streak dashed towards Twilight as a familiar face was against her face.
“And how did you know about Nightmare Moon, huh? Are you a spy? Whoa!”
Rainbow Dash was pulled away from Twilight by Applejack as she calmed the Pegasus down before she made things worse.
“Calm down, Rainbow. She Ain't no spy.”
“Yeah! She doesn't have a mask, a fancy suit, and a cool accent with her. If she did, the she really is a spy!” Pinkie Pie Replied as she Rarity, Fluttershy, and Connor arrived.
Hearing her silly joke, Applejack rolled her eyes as she said.
“Pinkie Pie, this Ain't the time to joke around! We don't even know what's going on! But Twilight, does know. Don't ya?”
“She does. And so do I.”
Everypony looked at Connor in Shock as he told them he too knew what was going on.
“Why Mr.Kenway, You knew this would happen?!” Rarity said as she was surprised that Connor knew such information about this. “Why didn't you tell us? If we knew about this Nightmare Moon character, we would've stopped her by now!”
“Because I didn't want anypony but my men involved in this, and it would cause innocent ponies to get hurt! Also I just learned this from Twilight during our ‘welcoming’ celebration. We didn't have much time to prepare. But you all saw what she did. She nearly destroyed town hall with her magic! She's too powerful to go up against!”
Connor was right. They all saw how powerful Nightmare Moon was. Both the Brotherhood and the Royal Guard fought, and still couldn't stop her.
“He's is right,” Twilight spoke. “Connor kept this secret to protect you all for your safety. Originally I told this to Princess Celestia, but she didn't believe me. So I tried to do this by myself, but Connor overheard me whispering about Nightmare Moon, and wanted to know more.”
“W-Well...he does have good hearing.” Fluttershy answered as it made sense to the others who knew Connor longer.
“Oh. Well that explains it. Anyway, it's best to tell you what is going on. You see...I read about the prediction of Nightmare Moon, she was going to appear tonight. And we all saw what happened earlier. But there is way to stop her. Some mysterious objects called the Elements of Harmony are the only things that can stop her. But I don't know what they are, nor where where to find them. I don't even know what they do!”
“The Elements of Harmony: A reference guide.” Pinkie Pie said as she looked at one of the book shelf.
Hearing caused Twilight to dash next to Pinkie Pie and saw the book she was looking for.
“How did you find that?! I've been looking for it everywhere!”
“It was under ‘E’ silly!”
“...Oh…”
Feeling relieved, yet embarrassed, Twilight used her magic to pull the book close to her, and opened it. Flipping through the pages, she finally found the information she needed.
“Here it is! There are six Elements of Harmony, but only five are known, ‘Kindness, laughter, generosity, honesty, and loyalty’. The sixth is a complete mystery. It is said the last known location of the five elements was in the ancient castle of the royal pony sisters. It is located in what is now…*Gulp*”
“What is Twilight? Don't hold out on us?” Applejack said as she and the others were eager to hear where the elements were now.
Twilight struggled but replied.
“It's...in...the Everfree Forest!”
No pony said a word as Twilight revealed the location of where the Elements are now.
Until.
“Ah...son of a-”
“Language!” Rarity shouted to Rainbow Dash.
