It is a dark night, when it should be day. The sounds of conflict cry out from an old abandoned castle in the Everfree. Beams of magic exchanged as two ponies duel. One a Black alicorn, the other a purple unicorn. Shards of rock and crystal lie scattered on the ground, all that’s left of the Elements. Harmony has been broken.
Eventually, the unicorn makes a mistake, and is sent to the ground with a broken leg. The hopes of the world lay scattered around her as she shouts out, “You will never win, Nightmare Moon! My friends and I can beat you, Harmony will beat you!”
Nightmare laughs her evil laugh, “Your precious Elements have failed! Harmony has failed, Friendship can’t save you now!”
The echo of hooves rings from around them, “Here my friends come now, and we will beat you! Sunlight shall be restored!”
Nightmare Moon scoffs, “I will just defeat them to! Face it, you’ve lost. I rule, and the sun shall never rise again! Nothing can stop me now, not even your precious friendship can help! I am invincible, and nopony can stop me now!”
The hoofsteps get closer, sounding more like a charge than anything. In fact, it sounds like the ponies are very heavy, “What is that noise?”
Nightmare laughs, “The noise that can’t save you. Night shall rule eternal!”
The ponies round the corner, only to show the fact that there are no ponies. Men in metal armor ride on horses, sabers drawn. Their faces hidden behind helmets with wing like constructs pointing upward. One of them shouts words in a weird tongue, “Dla Polski, bracia!”
They all shout out as one, voices echoing in the cramped chambers, “Opłata!”
Nightmare stares at them for a second, before firing a magical beam at the one at the front, “What fool thinks they can charge at me!?”
The beam connects, but just bounces off, knocking a hole in the wall. The charging man shouts back, “Skrzydlate huzary, to głupiec!”
Nightmare is about to fire another beam, but the Hussars are too close. Sabers cut into alicorn flesh, and hooves trample over the fallen royalty. The weight and ferocity of the attack makes Nightmare actually feel the pain, cutting through her magical barriers as soon as they’re thrown up.
Six of the Winged Hussars disembark from their horses, and hold out their hands. The shards that used to be the Elements float up into their grasp, and reform. They grasp the stones in their gloves, and smile.
Nightmare sits up to see this, “No, no, that’s impossible!”
The leader of the men looks in her direction, “Po przyjeździe nic nie jest niemożliwe.”
They start to mess with the Elements, trying to figure out how they work. The other Hussars come back around towards Nightmare. She tries to fly up this time, but they come up with a plan for that.
They all stand up in their harnesses, sabers almost scraping the roof. One of them shouts out, “Masz ochotę na latające sztuczki, które nas nie powstrzymają!”
She flies back down to the ground, and they respond in kind. She shouts out before they reach her, “What manner of creature are you!”
The horses charge at the alicorn, and trample over her again. Sabers come flying down from all sides, cutting and cutting more every time. Eventually, one hits her horn, and chops off the very top. One of them awnsers her question as he rides by, “Polska kawaleria, tutaj, żeby skopać ci tyłek!”
Nightmare Moon reaches down and takes out her own sword. She swings at the one left, the unlucky recruit in the back. Her sword mange’s to pierce through the recruits weaker armor, and he falls over dead.
She smiles, and starts to swing the blade at the other Hussars, thinking their armor was just as weak. She learns her lesson the hard way when her sword breaks in half just by being in proximity to the Hussar’s armor. She tries to attack with the rest of what remains of the sword, but her magic seems to refuse to go forward.
The one fiddling with the Element shouts out at her, “Hej, suko, tutaj! Zwróć uwagę na rozproszenie, dupku!”
She does exactly as he said, and spins around to face them. She is only met with the sight of the six floating above the air, “No, you can’t do this! I was winning! The night was eternal!”
The one in the front says with absolute calm, “Potem przybyli Skrzydlaci Huzarzy. Powiedz swoje ostatnie pożegnania, Nightmare Moon.”
She shakes her head as a beam connects all of them, “What even are these Elements!?”
They shout out things one by one, “Niemieckie reparacje wojenne!”
Another one, “Pierogi!”
Another winged helmet says out, “Piwo, wódka i inne alkohole!”
The forth shouts out, “Nieposłuszeństwo wobec Unii Europejskiej!”
The beam meets the fifth, “Węgierska przyjaźń!”
Then, it finally reaches the leader, “Zabijanie najeźdźców na muzułmanów!”
They all shout out in unison, “A szturm na Wiedeń sprawia, że wszystko jest kompletne!”
The beam leaves them, and shoots straight towards Nightmare. The beam with white on top and red on the bottom creeps closer. Nightmare screams out, “I don’t even understand what you are saying!”
The lead one shouts out, “Jesteśmy polską harmonią, a my jesteśmy tutaj, aby przywrócić dzień! Wiecznie światło Rzeczypospolitej wyprzedzi cię!”
The beam reaches Nightmare, and starts spinning around her. With one last blinding flash, a differnt pony lays there. Small blue alicorn, surrounded by vodka and strange dumplings.
One of the Hussars pick up a dumpling, and bring it over to Twilight. He hands it to her, “Jedz jedzenie, uzdrowi cię.”
She hesitates, before taking a bite. Within an instant of taking a bite, her leg fixes itself. She looks up at the men, “Who are you?”
The leader looks back at her, his wings shining in the new sunlight, “Jesteśmy kawalerią Rzeczypospolitej Obojga Narodów, a my po prostu cię uratowaliśmy.”
Twilight looks on, “Wait, what? I don’t understand your language!”
The leader ignores her, and hops up onto his horse, the recruits body behind him. He looks around at his fellow Winged Hussars, “Przyjedźcie bracia z Polski, mamy miejsca. Do Austrii, chrońcie naszych węgierskich braci!”
The men then ride back down the hall they came from in the beginning. After a minute, the sound of hooves fades away.
Leaving a very confused Twilight, wondering who they were. Celestia, wondering why her sister is surrounded by vodka. And Luna, who is wondering why nopony ever made those dumplings before. They were the best thing she ever tasted.
