While it is a very peaceful and so far uneventful day across Equestria, that's only for the most part. As tomorrow, Twilight is hosting her first ever Friendship Festival. So, all of Equestria is looking forward to it.

The Changlings, Grifons, and Dragons are participating in helping out as well. Though one oddity right now is Night Wing talking with Gilda.

"Rainbow Dash seems to speak very highly of your flight capabilities." Night Wing said.

"Well, we did go to the same flight school." Gilda said.

"Regardless, I think I'd like to let you know this: In two weeks time, the public is going to be voting on a law put forth by Princess Celestia that'll remove all restrictions from non-ponies. Safe to say, that'll allow me to increase the roster size." Night Wing said. "And with Rainbow Dash's recommendation, you can be one of the first ones to take the Shadowbolt test."

"Sh-she did that for me?" Gilda asked.

"What did you expect? It's classic Rainbow Dash." Night Wing said and then flew away.

"...Always with the surprises, huh Rainbow Dash?" Gilda asked; not really wanting an answer.





Not everything was sunshine and rainbows however, for coming from outside Equestria was the Storm King's army.

"You're sure you made it so that one human can't aid them, correct?" The Storm King asked Nozrog.

"You bet. Still a little sore though from that special Raichu from the human world's attacks, but I figured what I did was a better alternative. It'll take that human way too long to fix his machine to come help." Nozrog said.

"I'd much have preferred you killing the Raichu." The Storm King said.

"Yeah, yeah, I know, I know. At least I was able to double check if there were any Equestrian residents who share the bloodline of the Raichu that defeated you once before." Nozrog said. "And good news: There isn't any. At least, not in Equestria's borders."

"What about outside?" The Storm King asked.

"Yeah, that's the thing. Seems a local hometown hero from Lightning Town has been hanging around Equestria for a while now. And they are the grandson of the Raichu that beat you before." Nozrog said. "With the enhancements I provided you though, he shouldn't be able to defeat you."

"Are there any other hiccups that you can think of that can hinder this invasion?" The Storm King asked.

"Only one, and that would be the Wolf Queen." Nozrog said. "However, let's just say that the ponies would have a better chance at winning the lottery in the human world, then the Wolf Queen is likely to be in Equestria."

"I like those odds." Storm King said as his fleet approached.





Meanwhile, on foot heading for Equestria as well, was Throsten. Something was different about his attitude now though. "...Seems there is one thing that scares me after all." Throsten said to himself as he trekked towards Equestria. "I have to use this technique, it's the only way to end the menace of the Storm King once and for all." He continued his monlogue as he trecked further. "...Gloria...I only hope you'll be okay without me...as I won't be coming home this time." Throsten finished, as he started to sprint towards Equestria.





But these weren't the only parties heading for Equestria, there was one female Plusle and her Sneasel companion who were on their way too. "Time to add a new planet to my empire." The Plusle said.

"But of course, Mistress." The Sneasel said as he helped the Plusle put on a pure black robe.
