Princess Celestia admired the night her sister brought. Luna had a light touch and finesse she could never replicate herself. The Solar Princess sighed and turned from her balcony to relax from daily court when a sparkling cloud of smoke condensed into a scroll in front of her with a light *poof*. As The Princess began to open it her door was opened revealing a concerned looking guard.
“Princess!” he exclaims, bowing “my apologies for intruding, but we have urgent news from Ponyville!”
“Rise, Swift Wind, and speak,” The Princess says gently,
rising the pegasus spoke “We have news of an unknown object landing near Ponyville,”
“Was anypony injured?” Celestia asked, her tail swishing in apprehension
“Not that we know of, but there is quite a bit of property damage”
With this The Princess sighed, concerned. Then remembering the letter from her student, picked it up and, breaking the seal, began to read. Swift Wind stood at attention and, waiting for any orders he may get, watched as The Princesses’ features got graver by the second. When she finished reading she rolled the scroll up and took a deep breath.
“Swift Wind, I need you to get two squadrons ready,” she commanded her voice now hard “We will fly to where the object landed. Bring a prison transport carriage and be ready for anything. I will accompany you, we leave in thirty minutes,”
With a salute Swift Wind galloped off down the corridor. Celestia sighed and prepared for what was sure was coming. None of her many years of life had prepared her for this. She wrote a letter to calm Twilight and tell her to gather The Elements. Faust forbid she would need them.

Syra woke suddenly to a prod in the side. Gasping she sat up to find out who, or what, woke her. Looking around the first thing she noticed was how bright it was, this was strange as Syra could still see the moon. She then saw the ring of lights around her. Not that she was surprised by that due to her method of entrance, what did surprise her was the fact that there was no one around. Syra tried to stand but, when she put pressure on her left leg, collapsed in pain. As the pain started to subside something broke her thoughts.
“Hello!” an amplified voice boomed “Can you understand me?”
“Yes!” Syra exclaimed happy to at least be somewhere she could understand the language “Good,” the voice continued “Can you tell me why you’re here? Do you mean us any harm?” it inquired “Harm? Even if I wanted to I couldn't, my leg is hurt and I can’t walk,” she admitted.
As Syra was about to continue a yellow blur came from behind the lights, eventually coalescing into a butter yellow pony with a pink mane, a shifting on the pony’s back made her realize that it had wings. Before she could take in any more her reality shattered.
“Oh, you poor thing let me help!”

Discord sat in the empty plane of the metaphysical world. The problem with empty was that it didn’t work well with chaos. But luckily Discord had something to distract him. Sitting in front of him were two holes punched through to reality and through them he could see his plan unfolding. In one was his new pawn, fresh from the multiverse, unconscious in a field. In the other was Celestia riding a chariot with those accursed Elements. She was also surrounded by pegasus guards all armored and stern, no fun at all. The draconequus watched as they approached his pawn and set up a parameter setting up spotlights and positioning guards. Celestia then woke the human with a push of telekinesis. They began to talk though Discord, much to his chagrin, couldn’t hear them. His pawn motioned to her leg, and faster than a mortal can blink the yellow one was in front of her, followed rapidly by the other Elements. However by this point the young human had passed out from sheer shock. With a chuckle Discord closed his windows and waited. Soon...Soon he would be free to spread chaos again.
