(CMC POV)
After the battle they just witness the cutie marks crusaders decided to go and forget what they saw but it kept returning to their minds. Applebloom held her keyblade to her side like a sword since it was one...kind of, Scootaloo just held her's in her right hand, and Sweetie Belle placed her's on her back. The three walked the halls of the 'tree castle' which most ponies called Twilight's castle for short. They continued to walk the halls as they walked AB and Scoots were having a convention about the events that just happen.
"Did you see how fast Spike was when he kept dodging all of their attacks? Since when did he ever learn that?" Scoots said confused. Applebloom shrugged before speaking.
"Ah' don't know, maybe he learn it from somepony?" She said rubbing the side of her left ear. Scootaloo shook her head in disagreement.
"Who would teach him that? I mean when did he started learning it and who taught him?" Scootaloo said abit bothered by the thought of how someone selected Spike to learn something like that and not the mane six. Sweetie stared straight forward as the headed out the castle, she was worried for Spike. He just disappeared after the rainbow bream hit him.
'Where did you go?' She thought to herself. As three walked the streets of ponyville, Sweetie kept having a feeling that they were being watched and followed. She looked around but only friendly face looked back and waved. She waved back at them.
"Well whoever taught him, we might be able to find it in books. Now lets head to our clubhouse." Scootaloo decided. They walked faster and walked past the apple orchards.
As they walked further into the forest, Sweetie couldn't help but watched as the tree's shadow stares at her.

Wait what?
She quickly looked at the yellow eyes that stared at them.
"Gals? I think we are being watched." She said shaking.
The two stopped talking and looked at her confused before she pointed at the yellow dots in the trees' shadows. The two looked at each other bother pulling out their weapons. The moment they did that a weird yellow eyed things jumped out of trees' shadows.
"What the heck are you?" Scoots said out loud.
They creature said nothing just stood there and surrounded them. The three watched back to back as they get surrounded.
"Any Ideas?" Sweetie said almost shaking in fear.
"Just hit them." Scoots answered. Applebloom rolled her eyes.
"Wow, Ah' was just thinking of running start into them." She said to Scootaloo slightly annoyance. Scootaloo turned to Applebloom and argue but was then jumped by one of those shadow things. She fell backwards as one jumped on her face.
"GET IT OFF GET IT OFF GET IT OFF!!!!!" She yelled trying to pry off the thing from her face. Applebloom also tried to help but was grounded by the monsters. Sweetie looked at her friends worried.
"Sweetie! Go and get Help!" They both said.
"But what about about you!" She asked nearly teared eyed.
"Just go and get help!" They said throwing the things off but was then dog piled by them. Sweetie was about to help them but was then grabbed from behind.
Sweetie fell on her back before lifting herself up looking up at the whatever grabbed her. What was standing in front was a pony or what she thing is a pony staring at her. It wear a black coat or cloak, full-length black coat with a hood and a waist-high slit going up the back (similar to a duster). It had a large silver zipper that fastens at the top and zips down to seal the coat. It also had silver drawstrings for the hood decorated with a large silver bead hanging from the end and a silver chain ornament adorned with four large cylindrical silver beads that fastens to a loop on either side of the collarbone region. This pony was taller than her, about 7ft.
"W-Who are you?" Sweetie asked the cloaked figure but the cloaked figure didn't say a thing just looked at her. She couldn't see their eyes even when she got up close.
"Can you please help my fri-!" She stop mid sentence hearing a creak of lighting before looking towards her friends. She shocked to see that the monsters were gone.
"Oh thank you thank you." She said hugging the cloaked pony, surprising them by the affection. The pony didn't hug back just patted her head.
Sweetie was about to rush to her friends til the pony grabbed her. Applebloom and Scootaloo got up from the ground, dusting themselves off. The two looked at their friend as the hooded pony grabbed her. Sweetie tried to get the pony to let go but he didn't, Appleboom and Scootaloo grabbed their weapon. The pony lets Sweetie go and she had a shocked expression on her face. Appleboom and Scootaloo rushed at the pony but the moment they made contact they just went right through him.
"What?" Scoots said confused.
"H-How?" Appleboom said shocked.
The cloaked pony stared at her before a black smoke spawn up from behind them. The three looked at now dark portal, the cloaked pony walked straights the portal. Three watched as he walked into it shocked to see something as strange as this happen.
"Where did that came from?" Sweetie said confused. The portal soon faded away.
Appleboom walked over to Sweetie belle.
"Hey, Sweetie belle? What did that pony say to you?" She asked. Sweetie thought for a moment before looking at them.
"The door to our world is open."
