It was a beautiful day in Equestria. Twilight was running some errands with Spike in Ponyville. The streets are bustling, the stores are filled to the brim, everything seemed perfect.
That is, until two ponies got into a hoof fight. Twilight looked in awe, there were almost never any fights in Ponyville, and when there were, it was just verbal. These guys, however, were throwing punches and bucks at each other and It seemed like this was a serious fight.
"Twilight, why are they fighting?" Spike asked.
"I have no clue," Twilight responded. "But whatever the reason is, it must be really serious if it goes down to brute force, especially here in Ponyville."
These kinds of fights were normal, and even a trend in the bigger cities like Manehattan, Fillydelphia, and even Canterlot. The last physical fight in Ponyville was when the Cutie Mark Crusaders fought over a bit they made during one of their shenanigans, but even then, they reconciled after three minutes and bought something they would appreciate together. This fight seemed to have gone on for about ten minutes and neither of them are showing a sign of weakness yet.
Twilight and Spike were about to leave when they saw that dozens of other fights broke out. Almost every pony on the streets were fighting, even Lyra and Bonbon, two great friends, were fighting. It seems as though even if you close your eyes, you could still see a pony punching another pony.
Twilight thought she saw something rare before, but this was like the gold edition of Nintendo World Championships. She never saw an outbreak of violence to this elevation in her life. It was then when Spike regurgitated a letter from Princess Celestia.
My most faithful student,
come to my castle immediately and bring your friends too. There is a major problem with the world and we need you six to fix it.
Yours truly,
Princess Celestia.
