Celestia slept soundly in the night of her bed chambers. Her blanket raised and fell with each small breath she took.
The sleeping monarch slept like a tired filly after a long day's hard work. The night wind entered her personal chamber through the open window.
Celestia turn in her bed facing the window still asleep.
Suddenly as though she lost control of the sun a light sneaked upon her sleeping eyes. She squinted her eyes tighter trying to block out the light coming into her bedchamber.
The smell of smoke and ash filled the room In a matter of seconds and now the sleeping monarch awoke with fear.
She rushed to the window and looked out. She gasp with shock and fear to the sight she was seeing. The city of Canterlot was ablaze with fire, and ash.
Screams from below filled the monarchs ears. She watch in fear as a group of ponies running through the city were being attacked by what looked like demons from another darker and sinister realm then from their own hell.
These creatures resemble Griffins, Pegasus ,and other beast she could not put her mind too. They wore armor of the most wicked and vile types. Making each one that dawn the armor look more hellish and daemon like.
The color and trim of the armor looked like Spikes own armor. The color was the same and so was the symbol they had displaying on their shoulders or on ragged hole torn flags they carried.
A cry from outside her bed chamber made Celestia jump back with fright. Her blood pump at a rapid rate, and she could feel adrenaline rushing through her veins like a wildfire. Her fight or flight instincts kicked in making her more aware to her surroundings.
Gathering as much magic as she could she put up a magical shield around her making any attack made against her useless.
Taking a deep breath she ready herself for the horrors that await behind her door. She open the door with the help from her magic.
She waited for something to happen; like an attack or one of those creatures, to burst through the door with a sadistic smile on it, but nothing happen.
Slowly she open the door all the way to reveal an empty pitch black hallway. Taking her time she waited and listened for a sound, a hoof step or something that will tell her there was something there waiting for her.
Nothing but uncomfortable silence. Celestia ready two offensive spells in each of her hands she slowly and quietly made her way into the Abyss.
The door closed behind her, making a loud 'clank' that echoed throughout the entire castle. Turning around to face the door that made such a loud noise.
Celestia gasp with shock. The door was no longer there. In its replacement was a wall made from crystals. Confused Celestia asked herself how a crystal wall replaced her bedroom door. A sudden light turn on behind the monarch, and with the reaction of a speeding sparrow, she faced the hallway behind her, both spells ready for combat.
Torches started lighting themselves revealing a well polished crystal surface and walls.
"What the hell?" Was all she could say. Dumbfounded she causally continue her way down the hallway. When she reach the end she even was more shock and confused then before.
She is standing in the throne room of the Crystal empire. But what disturbed her was the fact that the throne room looked like a war zone. Toppled supports beams laid broken and shattered all over the ground. The flags of the empire lazily swayed back and forth revealing cuts and large holes in the torn flags.
"How could this happen." Celestia asked herself with tears falling to the crystal floor.
A loud sound coming from the city below drew Celestia attention away from the destroyed Throne. Celestia made her way to the balcony that overlooked the city of the New Crystal empire.
When Celestia step onto the balcony true fear, panic and disbelief set in to the monarch. Celestia was staring at an ocean of the creatures she saw before but standing in crude makeshift armor with jagged weapons stood ponies, Griffins, Mentors, Zebras, Diamond dogs, dragons, and even the new race she has never seen before.
Large reptiles that are bipedal standing with the monsters that have invaded the crystal empire lands.
Celestia stomach turn upside down when she saw the pikes with heads of ponies and other races she knew mounted on pikes with flayed skin hanging and swaying in the breeze like sick trophies.
She fell to her knees as the three meals and a nighttime snack came pouring out of her mouth in mix of stomach aside and food. The smell was unbearable.
Breathing heavily the princess spit the taste away unto the what was once a crystal floor.
She lifted herself up wiping away the vomit that clung to her mouth." By the gods, What is happening."
A pounding from the two large doors that lead to the Throne room, shook and visibly. The doors started break apart with each strike from unknown force behind them.
She Quickly ready two offensive spells and made sure her magic armor was still in effect.
The door came crashing down as two large Monitors in crude looking armor came charging through the door with large axes about the size of a pony came bolting through the door with war cry that shook the very ground.
She struck one monitor with the spell from her right hand. A large celestial beam made contact with monitor which just split the poor fool in half.
The second Mentors let lose its battle cry, he charged the white Alicorn.
Attacking the mad beast with the other spell in hand, Celestia cast thousands of volts of electricity at the mad beast.
The monitor stop in his tracks and screamed an unearthly scream that no beast from this realm should never make.
The mentor fell to the floor dead. The charred body sizzled and pop. The smell of burnt flesh filled the room.
Smiling at her victory Celestia looked to the door to see who else was going to come charging through the door. But to her surprise a earth pony in a dark blue robe with a golden trim stepped through the door.
She looked over the earth pony curiously. He had a bandage covering both eyes, his mane was long and black as coal. A staff he held in his left hand was something straight out of hell. It had an eye on the top of the staff that seem to stare back at Celestia, and peered into her soul. The staff seem to be made from flesh that moved on its own with tentacles that looked like they belong to some squid or octopus moved freely on the staff as tho it had a life as it own.
The pony smirked, "kaltum vas'nalsh, micnack'al vole I'a Teezetch!" The earth pony spoke in a disembodied voice.
The eye in the staff burst aflame in a purplish hellfire that sent shivers down Celestia spine.
The earth pony slammed the bottom of the staff to floor in which caused a shriek that shattered the glass in the Throne room. Celestia covered her ears as they screaming grew louder.
Celestia felt her ears, and eyes bleeding. The sonic force of the staff was causing damage to her insides and she could feel each vibration of the scream hitting her like a brick.
Celestia screamed and without thinking sent a celestial beam at the pony. She gasped in shock as the pony moved his hand side ways causing the beam to turn and go through the wall behind him.
The pony smiled, "t-try harder m-my princess." The pony said in a mocking tone.
Stepping aside the pony bowed.
Celestia heard footsteps that seem to crack the very floor in witch was coming to the door. Once more she gasp with shock at the sight she could not believe.
There standing in front of her was Spike in his armor. His sword was held in one hand it curved blade glowed with demonic symbols that are carved into the sword making it glow a hellish purple. Celestia could swear she saw faces of daemons and damned souls moving within the steel of the sword.
The sword was not the worse thing however. In his other hand Spike held by the mane and feathers of the Griffin king, Zebra prince, a diamond dog chief, and the head of Shining armor.
Fear now overtook the princess. She tried her best to stand tall and firm at the monster before her.
Spike smiled. He could see the fear dripping of the princess. He raised the arm with the heads high above his head. Sounds of hoof steps came behind him and what the princess was staring at made her even more afraid.
Six heroes of her nation the elements stood next to Spike each one had there own design of armor or clothing.
Rarity in a dress that looked the same as the earth pony Mage a goat skull with demonic writing on the skull was held at her waist by a long piece of rope that made a makeshift belt. A book on a long chain held tightly to the white coated mare.
Fluttershy wore no armor only the clothes she had her back at the time which was a white t-shirt stained with blood. A green skirt that was torn to make it easier to move in. Blood covered the yellow Pegasus, a woodcutter's axe rested on her shoulder.
Pinkie wore little to no clothing letting her bust hang loosely out for all to see. She seem to smile and lick her mouth with lustful hunger. A wipe with thorns held tightly in her right hand.
Rainbow dash wore armor that makes her looked like a prehistoric hunter with claws on both her hands and hoofs. Each claw was about five inches long three inches wide. She had the look of hate and the want for revenge on her.
Applejack looked horrible. She seem pale and rotting away. The smell from the orange mare once use to be apples but now the smell of rotting decaying flesh and other sorts of dead things came from the farm mare. She wore what look like armor that was falling apart from rot and rust. She held the strange squire box weapon like Spike has in one hand and a sickle in the other hand.
But the one that stood out the most was Twilight. She wore the same clothing as Rairty but runes were stitch into her cloak, a eight pointed star painted in black circled her right eye in which was black and soulless. She held a staff with the same goat skull on top of the staff but a throne circle with a pulsing purple waves came from the top of the staff circling the skull in which made it pulse with black smoke coming from the eyeless sockets of the skull.
"I promise you revenge my friend for the wrong she has done. Have at her my pets!"
Celestia was to shock to do anything. Her former friends. Carged her with the intention to kill and no reading was going to help save her.
Just as Fluttershy brought her axe down Celestia felt herself being pulled into a vortex below her. She screamed with fear until a Stallions rough hand cands itself around her muzzle.
Standing in front of her was the last stallion she ever wanted to see, "Sombra?"
"Listen, and listen well Celestia," Sombra spoke in a deep commanding voice "you can not let him get the scroll or find the vault of the old world. You must kill him before he spreads his influence further into this world. It's your only hope."
"I don't know what your talking about?"
"Look deep into your father's old notes in his private study there, and only there can you save us all from damnion."
Celestia watch in horror as a demon leapt onto Sombra’s back. The old king slammed his back against the wall of the darkness making a hard thud and craking sound.
The demon screamed with rage as Sombra repeated to do this until grabbing the demon by the hand and flipping it over his shoulder. Holding unto the demons arm, Sombra placed a hoof on the demon's arm and slammed down on the shoulder which made a sickening crack.
The demon screamed in pain. Sombra held onto the broken arm still. He jump as high as he could. Placing both hoof legs together he came down on the demon's head like a arrow let loose from a bow.
The demon head caved in.
“Easier then what I thought it would be.” Sombra said to himself.
As Celestia open her mouth to speak four voice all in unison spoke.
"You will never stop us," the four voices spoke to her all at once, "none can stop the powers of Chaos. I'vlich, makkala, Khorne, i'vlich makkala Nurgle, i'vlich makkala tzeentch, i'vlich makkala slaanesh."

Celestia awoke screaming into the darkness of her bed chamber. Her door burst open with two well armed guards, and Princess Luna rushing in.
“Dear sister what troubles thee?” Luna rushed to her sister's side.
Celestia continue to scream like a banshee in the night. It was only ten minutes later did Celestia stop screaming.
The frighten princess looked into her freshly poured tea. She could still see the faces of the elements staring at her with hate. A shiver ran down her spine as she shakily picked up the worm tea.
“Dear sister please tell us what ales you.” Luna asked in worry tone.
shakely Celestia sip her tea. Each sip made her feel better, but the horror that she witnessed within her vision, she could still hear the screams, she could still taste ash and smoke from the burning buildings. She could still see the faces of those monsters and the Elements staring at her, right into the soul.
“I had a vision.” Celestia placed her tea cup down on her night stand.
“A vision, of what?” Luna asked. Placing a hand on her sister’s shoulder.
Celestia took a deep breath, “I saw Canterlot on fire. It was being attacked by demons from another world. Griffins, Zebras, Diamond dogs, the whole world was invading us, and there were the Elements.”
“The Elements were standing against us?” Luna took a step back with disbelief from what she was hearing.
“Thats not all, Spike was there. He was leading the invasion. He some how corrupted the Elements to be his own personal body guards.”
The room fell silent, so silent that the only sound that was made was from a fly that buzzed around the room before landing on the table next to Celestia tea.
“What are we to do?”
“Sombra warned me in the vision-” Celestia was cut off by Luna before she could finish.
“Sombra! Dear sister this must be one of his schemes to take over the world.”
Celestia shook her head in disagreement, “No he warned me of this, he said the only way we could stop this is if we go through father's old notes.”
“How do you know he is not just playing a trick on you.”
“A demon attacked him, he defeated it in hand to hand combat, Sombra would rather summon demons or devils to his aid. Not fight against them.”
“That does not mean he’s trying to help.”
“I know what I saw in my vision, and he came to warn us of a coming danger.”
“If he did come to warn us of this danger, then it would be wise to bring the Elements here.”
“Agreed, well bring them here and look through father's notes and…” Celestia stop herself in mid sentence.
“And what?” Luna asked.
Celestia took a deep breath. The next words she will speak will change the fate of not just Equestria but her whole world.
“We will stop Spikes Legion before they even have a chance to attack by cutting the head off the snake.”
