"Spike, take a letter."
"Okay! What do you need to write?"
"This will be a letter to Princess Celestia about what's going on. We have two ponies missing who know an attack that will not only frighten everypony around here, but also have strange powers."
Twilight was starting to panic. Both Sensei and Garmadon were missing, and that was going to cause major problems if they weren't found. She made Spike start writing a letter to send to Celestia, and it would tell her about everything that's going on.

Dear Princess Celestia,
There is a bit of an emergancy here in Ponyville. Eight ponies mysteriously appeared in the Everfree Forest, and they say they come from a different world. My friends and I have some reasons to believe them, like their strange powers. They have four basic elements back where they are from and four of the ponies can control those powers. One of them is the sister to one of the ponies, but she doesn't seem to have any powers. Another one has ultimate control over those four elements and can use them at will. The last two seem to be opposites. They're brothers, but represent good and evil.
They also have a strange attack in their world called 'Spinjitzu'. It seems to be affected by their element, but I'm pretty sure that others can learn it as well. The thing we're worried about though, are the two brothers. Their names are Garmadon and Sensei Wu, and they are missing. I know the ponies in Ponyville will panic, but I think the brothers might have left Ponyville.
Garmadon is the most dangerous. He is the greatest threat to their world, and he is most likely going to try to take over Equestria. He is an Alicorn, but not like any I've ever seen before. Instead of normal pony wings, his are of a dragon. The others aren't as scary. But I do believe that we need your help.
Allow me to describe the ponies first. The ones who control the elements. Their names are Cole (an Earth pony with control over earth), Zane (a Pegasus with the powers of ice), Kai (a Unicorn who masters fire), and Jay (another Pegasus who controls lightning). Nya is the Unicorn sister of Kai, and Lloyd is an Alicorn with all of the elements in his control. Sensei is also an Alicorn, but like I wrote earlier he is missing.
I would like you to meet these ponies personally sometime, but not while there is a threat to Equestria. The fate of our land comes before meeting new ponies, and I hope to recieve your reply.
Your faithful student,
Twilight Sparkle

"Wow, that's a long letter." Spike said as he finished the last word. "Are you sure about this?"
"Yes Spike." Twilight told him with confidence. "Go on ahead and send the letter, I'm going to calculate how far Garmadon and Sensei could have gotten ever since this morning."
Twilight walked over to a desk and began graphing distances, time, and speed to see where Sensei and Garmadon could have gotten since they were seen last. But only minutes after she started she heard a loud burp coming from Spike and the sound of magic producing a scroll.
"Twilight, you got a reply from the Princess." Spike said before handing her the scroll.
"Thank you Spike." Twilight replied before opening the scroll up and reading what Celestia wrote.
-------------
Dear Twilight, my most faithful student,
I understand the emergancy and I will be arriving at Ponyville to help the cause. Any threat to Equestria is a problem that must be taken care of immediatly. However, you wrote something about the fate of Equestria being more important than meeting potential friends. Have you forgotten what sent you to Ponyville in the first place? I understand that all of my time can't be taken up by social life, but I will have to talk with these ponies anyway about their world.
For now my sister Luna will be in charge of everything until this mission is complete. I will be joining you and your friends on this mission until Garmadon is sent back to his world and sealed there. That way he will not be able to come back with any more potential threats. But with Garmadon's appearence, I want you to study every different form of ponykind. You will understand what his appearence means once you start your research.
As for the ponies with elemental powers, it seems as though they are working toward peace for their world. There is a side mission for you about those ponies, which is to study their personalities and virtues. It may seem like something trivial to do, but if you trust me then you will understand why in the future.
I will be arriving soon with only a few guards. I will send them back to Canterlot once I arrive so I will be equal in strengh to you and your friends.
Your teacher,
Princess Celestia

"Spike, get the library cleaned up." Twilight commanded. "Princess Celestia is going to be joining us in our search for Garmadon and Sensei along with our friends. She will also be helping us save Equestria if Garmadon decides to take over."
"Alright. But aren't you going to tell the others?"
"Yes I will, but I also have to calculate where they could have gotten. If you send them in here I can explain everything."
Twilight watched Spike run off before going back to her graphs. There were maps of Ponyville, Equestria, and nearby towns that had various scribbles on them that gave details about how to get to that point. She measured wingpower, distances, the weather, any traffic, running and walking speed, absolutely everything to get from point A to point B.
After listing a large number of locations that both ponies could have traveled to, all of her friends walked into the room she was in. Her friends were followed by Spike and the ponies from the other world. Everypony who walked in didn't speak a word, but instead looked nervously (or confidently in Rainbow's case) at each other and Twilight.
Twilight stopped her work for a second and turned to everypony in the room before explaining the letter Celestia sent her and anything they could do to help.

"So that's what's going on." Nya said with her hoof on her chin. "I just hope that Garmadon isn't trying to take over. If he takes over Equestria and finds a way back to Ninjago, then he has the power of both worlds."
"If that's Garmadon's plan, then we are so hooped!" Jay cried.
"Ah don' want none o' this ta happen to Equestria." Applejack told them. "We have ta stop Garmadon."
"But where is Garmadon?" Rainbow asked.
"I'm not sure." Twilight told Rainbow. "I can only guess right now."
"What about Sensei?" Rarity asked Twilight. "Were you able to figure out where he went?"
"Same answer for both brothers." Twilight said while her head drooped with sorrow. "But Celestia will be coming soon, so she might be able to help."
"Speaking of Celestia, isn't that her over there?" Cole asked while pointing out a window.
Twilight looked out the window Cole was pointing at and saw a golden cariage being pulled by two Solar Guard Pegasi. She could see Celestia inside the carriage while it flew closer to the library. "It looks like Celestia is here. Everypony has to behave as well as possible and not be rude. We don't want to upset the Princess."
Twilight led everypony outside to wait for Celestia. Within seconds the carriage was in front of them and the Princess stepped out. Twilight watched as her teacher allowed the guards to fly away and leave the Princess with her and her friends. She bowed and motioned for the ponies behind her to do the same.
"Twilight, you don't have to do that every time I visit Ponyville." Celestia told her. "For this mission I will just be helping. For now I am your equal."
"Uhh.... Alright then." Twilight said before pointing her hoof toward the ponies behind her. "Behind my friends are the ponies from the other world. I think we should get introductions in order, then we can all start looking."
"That sounds like a plan." Celestia agreed. "How about we go inside for this? It would be much more comfortable."
Twilight led everypony inside so she could introduce Celestia to the other ponies. She levitated a few pillows from a closet a arranged them in a circle in the center of the library so everypony could sit comfortably. She told everypony to pick a spot to sit at, and eventually everypony was sitting down. The order of the seating was Celestia, Twilight, Lloyd, Nya, Fluttershy, Rarity, Cole, Zane, Rainbow, Applejack, Kai, Jay, Pinkie, and Spike.
"So where do we begin?" Celestia asked. "How about I introduce myself first. I am Princess Celestia, co-ruler of Equestria and I move the sun across the sky."
"My name is Lloyd. I am the Green Ninja destined to defeat my dad, Garmadon, and I protect Ninjago."
"I'm Nya. I don't have any special powers, but I am the Samurai and I beat up Serpentine."
"I am Cole. I'm the black Ninja of earth and I protect Ninjago and Lloyd."
"My name is Zane and I am what's called a Nindroid. I protect both Lloyd and Ninjago using my powers as the white Ninja of ice."
"I'm Kai, the red Ninja of Fire. I also protect Ninjago and Lloyd."
"Hi there! I'm Jay, the blue Ninja of Lighting who protects Lloyd and Ninjago too."
"So all of you protect Lloyd and your world? Interesting." Celestia said before trailing into thought. "So why is Garmadon evil then? If his own son has to defeat him in battle, then that could mean an outside force working against the peace of your world."
"When Garmadon was just a kid he got bitten by a snake once known as the Great Devourer." Zane began explaining. "The venom that got injected into him flowed into his blood for most of his life, turning him evil. However recently the Great Devourer got released again and we couldn't defeat it. So Garmadon had his chance of revenge and he destroyed it. But I'm afraid that getting revenge only made his chances of turning good worse."
"Hmm.... Well, the introductions are over and any more questions can be asked later." Celestia told them. "It's time to start this mission and hopefully save Equestria."
A loud cheer of determination filled the library before Celestia asked Twilight about her progress.
"Well, I found many locations where Garmadon and Sensei could be, but I'm not sure about any of them." Twilight said. "I think it would be best if we just started searching in the nearby places and if we find any clues we should follow them."
"That is a good plan considering the situation we are in." Celestia told Twilight. "How about we split up for the search? Rainbow, Fluttershy, Zane, and Jay, you four will search the skies to find them. Applejack, Pinkie, Cole, and Spike, I want you to search the ground. Twilight, Rarity, Lloyd, Nya, and Kai, all of you will help me search for them using magic. Are we all clear?"
A chorus of 'yes Princess' reached Celestia's ears before she sent everypony off. 'Once I learn more about those ponies then my suspician will be either proven or disproven.' She thought. 'I don't think Twilight has caught on yet, but these ponies seem to be more important than anypony could ever imagine.'
