The Golden Oaks Library now has a very frantic one pony search party.
"Where are my books of magic I borrowed?!" Twilight searched throughout the library, she needed to find the books she borrowed from Princess Celestia, or she would have to pay it off.
"Twilight, would you calm down." Twilight turned around to Rainbow Dash, who watched the dramatic search for some royal books.
"Calm down, Calm down, HOW CAN I CALM DOWN WHEN I'VE BEEN HERE FOR HOURS LOOKING FOR SOME BOOKS THAT BELONG TO PRINCESS CELESTIA?!!!!" Twilight really was worried of what Celestia might d if she didn't return the books by two days.
Rainbow Dash shrugged, "You've been searching for only ten minutes Twilight, not hours, and you still have two more days to find them." Twilight looked at the clock, it was three ten, she realized the books were missing when it was three.
"Oh, but I got to admit, it really does feel like hours...Aha! There they are!" Twilight spots her saddlebags, and a book was sticking out. Twilight rushed over and opens her saddlebags, to find Celestia's books of magic.
"Yes! I thought Celestia would kill me if I hadn't looked in my bags!" Said Twilight.
Rainbow Dash isn't amused, "Yeah, I saw them there even before you realized they were missing from your bookshelves."
Twilight spins around to her friend in confusion, like if Rainbow Dash was playing some kind of prank. "Wait, you knew? Then why didn't you tell me?!" Twilight yelled in Rainbow Dash's face, but she didn't say a word to Twilight.
"Well, why didn't you tell me?" Twilight repeated the question, and this time, Rainbow Dash gave Twilight a big grin, then she started to laugh her head off.
"Hey? What's so funny?" Twilight wondered why her friend was laughing at her question, which seemed right to answer.
"Okay, "ha" I'm sorry, "chuckle" I put the books in the saddlebags!" Rainbow Dash replied, she pulled another prank on Twilight, It was really clever too.
Even Twilight was impressed, "Alright, you got me there!" and she started to laugh with her friend.
As Rainbow Dash and Twilight went outside the library, however, there were ponies running in terror everywhere, and arrows that were on fire were raining down upon them.
"Woah, how did we not notice this happening?" asked Rainbow Dash to Twilight. Twilight was speechless, first of all, she and Rainbow did not notice this outside, they even did not hear screaming. Soon Rarity, Pinkie, Applejack, and Fluttershy were running towards Rainbow and Twilight, as they breathed heavily, Twilight asks a question about the flying arrows on fire.
"What is going on? And why are there arrows on fire raining down upon Ponyville?" Applejack answered her friend with very troubling news.
"We're being attacked by a huge army!" Twilight was alarmed, but how big was the armada? "How big, like how many men?" Applejack replied with a scared tone.
"The Army was hundreds! They are here for something!" Something? More like whatever they want!
Just when things couldn't get worse, the army, led by a red alicorn, stormed into Ponyville. The army started to break down doors into houses and went inside. Twilight was so busy looking around at the carnage being done, that she did not notice her friends being snatched.
"TWILIGHT! HELP!" Twilight spun around at Rainbow Dash's call for help, she sees her friends being led away by soldiers with helmets that cover their head, their armor was made of the finest metal that Twilight had ever seen! But she needed to rescue her friends. Twilight's horn began glowing, and soon the unicorn was charging at the soldiers with her friends, but they just calmly lifted their bows and prepared to fire arrows at the unicorn. They took careful aim, but before they could even attempt to hurt or capture Twilight, her friends yelled at her to stop.
"Stop! You'll only get captured yourself!" Twilight heard her friends and stopped her spell, the soldiers then lowered their bows and continued to take Twilight's friends away.
"Don't worry, we'll be alright!" Said Fluttershy, before she and the others disappeared behind a corner.
The raid continued as Twilight returned home, "I hope the soldiers didn't come in here." she thought, and as she opened her door, it was the way she left it before.
"Oh, good, now I can really clean the place." She then started to pick up books she sent flying while searching for the books Rainbow had hid. When she turned to the clock, it said it was about four pm.
"Spike should be up by now, I let him take a nap this afternoon, he should come down any second." But Spike did not come down, bu indeed, he was awake, watching the horror outside.
"Spike, I know it's bad and stuff, but we don't want you to have nightmares again, do we?" Twilight told Spike to help clean up downstairs, but he stood there still, watching with horror, Twilight wanted to do something abut it, but now there was no way to help, the Alicorn's main was on fire, or at least, it looked like that, and he traveled to battle with a armada! But what if it's one alicorn, verses two?! That's it!
"Spike! Send a letter to Princess Celestia about the raid here." said Twilight.
Spike froze still from Twilight's words, "Wait, it was a raid?" Twilight answered Spike's question by what she saw in the raid.
"Yes Spike, they took riches, all of our food supply, and even ponies! Including Applejack, Pinkie, Rarity, Fluttershy, and Rainbow."
Spike froze again, his hand quivering, "They..they were...captured?!!!" Spike then fainted.
"Yes Spike, now can you send the letter please?" Spike took a breath, and the letter was sent, and Spike continued to lay motionless on the floor.
At the town hall, minutes after the raid, the mayor came to a pillar, and gave this speech.
"When the raid ended, many mourned. For friends and family had been snatched away by an army of thousands. Yet, we must remain strong, and even if we don't see our loved ones again, we still have each other, ad that's still important, it's better that some of us are still here than all of us being captured. Thank You for the gifts you have brought, we will put them in the town hall."
The mayor, who presented the sad speech, then turned and picked up the gifts that were put on a table, and took them inside the town hall, that's when the remaining ponies went back to their homes.
Meanwhile in Canterlot, Celestia is reading Twilight's letter, she is alarmed about the raid and starts her way over to Luna's room.
"Luna, Luna, it's important and tragic news sister, Ponyville was attacked and raided, and I'm afraid that we might be next!"
Luna then shoved the door open, she was alarmed, "Who is behind this?!" Just then an explosion rocks the castle. BOOOOOOM!
"RUN FOR YOUR LIVES! WE'RE BEING ATTACKED!" Soon arrows on fire started raining down. Celestia then replies to her sister's question.
"Something tells me whoever is attacking us."
The princesses run outside, only to be surrounded and aimed at with bows and arrows, soon the Alicorn leading the army stepped forward. He was laughing like if he was a total maniac.
"oh, oh, Ha Ha Ha HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA!!!!!!!" Celestia and Luna look upon their captor.
"What do you want?!" The maniac like alicorn pointed a spear at Celestia's head, he really was out of his mind.
"I'm Neffison! The great and Powerful king of Salvania!" Celestia and Luna stare at each other, when did Salvania ever become a country? Celestia turns towards Neffison with the same question as before.
"Neffison, I'll ask again, what are you dong here? What is it that you want so bad?" The King replied with not the answer Celestia expected, but with a grin and said.
"It matters not, for my master plan is halfway complete!" Master plan? Celestia and Luna stare at each other again, what was his master plan, was the other half making it back to the country he calls Salvania? But the king gave some orders.
"Come men! We'll take our prizes home, and with these alicorns gone, who will save Equestria now? OH HO HO! MWA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HAAAAAAA!!!!!!!" His evil laugh echoed throughout Equestria, his master plan was halfway complete.
Twilight heard the evil laugh and suspected another raid took place somewhere. She was right, for she received news from Canterlot that her mentor and sister were captured, along with several hundreds of ponies. Twilight felt even worse now, first her friends, now her mentor and Luna! Twilight wept throughout the evening, never to be comforted by her friends, for they were gone.
