  Twilight, now with her friends, dropped Spike off at the library, took a train to Canterlot and ran for the castle. There, everypony was fighting, it was common to see a physical fight in Canterlot, but here, like Ponyville, there was a swarm of fights going on. They tried to avoid all of the fights and they carried on to the castle. Eventually, they made it to the castle, a few of them had a few bruises on their faces. When they entered, a few of the Royal Guards were fighting too, although it was just verbal. Once they approached the throne room, Celestia spoke in her royal manner.
"I take it that you noticed that there are fights breaking out all over Equestria," Celestia said, noticing the bruises on a few of the ponies' faces. 
"I never seen anything like this" Twilight said. "What is going on? Why is everybody so riled up?"
"Twilight," Celestia begins, "Have you ever heard about the Orb of Tranquility?"
"Yes I have," Twilight replied, "I believe the Orb of Tranquility is an orb hidden in the center of Equestria that keeps everybody happy and peaceful."
"Yes, well yesterday night, it was stolen."
"Well who in the right mind would wanna ball that maintains peace?" Applejack asked.
Celestia replies, "I have no clue. What I do know is who the thieves are and where they are conducting their plans."
"So why are we here?" Rarity asked.
"And why are we immune?" Asked Rainbow Dash.
"I need you six to infiltrate their base, find out their scheme, bring justice to them, and retrieve the orb." Celestia explains. "As for why you are immune, you six have the strongest friendship in Equestria, so you don't need an orb to maintain happiness."
"You can count on us Celestia," Twilight says.
" We'll bring those meanies to justice and save Equestria!" Pinkie exclaims.
And with that, they set off on a journey they will not forget.
