The News About the Letters

"Princess Twilight?", another goon entered the dark room. "The king requests your presence."
Twilight scoffed at him.
Four more guards came in, and surrounded her. They all walked forward, forcing Twilight to do the same. They walked into another room, this time, much bigger.
"Ah, my beautiful princess!"
Twilight forced herself to look up at Sombra's ugly face.
"So glad you're here!" Twilight couldn't believe how happy he seemed. Then again, he WAS about to take over the world.
Twilight saw Luna and Soarin tied up behind Sombra.
"You're okay!", Twilight joyfully exclaimed.
They gently smiled at her, but it seemed pained. They looked like they'd been through a lot.
"What's wrong?"
"What's WRONG?!", Sombra erupted. "What's WRONG is my star is missing! Now my taking over the world will have to be postponed until we can find her!" He forced himself to calm down. "So, what I've done is made some...preparations. You will all write a letter to Rainbow Dash, and we will send it to her with a messenger bird. If the bird returns with no letters, we know he got them to her."
"What sort of letters?", Soarin asked.
"Good question. As we all know, I need all of you to be here in order to take all of your powers. Without all of you HERE, I cannot take anypony's. But, fortunately, Rainbow Dash does not know that. So, you will send her your final. Letter."
Luna gasped.
"What do you mean, our final letter?", Twilight inquired.
"It is the last letter you will ever write."
Soarin let out a gust of air as though he'd been punched.
"I'm sorry to inform you, but when the machine takes your powers, it also takes your lives. I cannot do that without Rainbow Dash. So, you will all lure her here."
"I don't believe this," Luna mumbled. "How can you DO this, you MONSTER?!"
"Oh, sweetheart, don't worry. I will send the letters, and while the bird takes them to her, we will get married. That will make me the leader of the kingdoms you rule over. Therefore, making me king."
"Ugh!", Luna viciously turned her head away.
"Now, onto other matters," Sombra continued. "SOLDIERS!"
On cue, twelve guards ran into the room, and three of them carried a pen and scroll. The guards around Twilight broke away.
Then, the guards with the pens and scrolls stood in front of Soarin, Luna, and Twilight.
