Twilight walked down the road towards Canterlot with Fluttershy and Rainbow Dash in tow, after meeting the others on the way the Mane Six had decided to deal with their family issues first and them meet up at Equestria's Capital.
"I can't believe that creep! ponynapping Sunset like that" Rainbow argued, kicking a rock in her frustration.
"I know..I just don't understand why though?" Twilight replied.
"Do you....Do you think she's ok?" Fluttershy asked.
The three ponies turned around as they a snort of laugher, only to find Manaquire standing behind them.
"Oh please like I would bite the hand that fed me.." he replied.
"What have you done to Sunset!" Rainbow charged towards him, only to crash into a tree as he vansihed.
"if you think I captured her to harm her, then you are sorely mistaken" the black dragon stated as he reappeared in front of them.
"Then why?" Twilight asked.
"You'll see" he replied with a smirk, then he became serious once more. "But that's not why I'm here, it seems Applejack, Rarity and Pinkie Pie have their own troubles don't they?"
"How do you know about?" Rainbow demanded.
"Who else would? After all i was the one who flooded the rock farm, sent the flyer to Rarity, and created the storm that wiped out an entire farm" He bragged.
"But that's just-" Twilight began, lost for words.
"-The tip of the iceberg, Miss Sparkle, I have far more planned ahead, which brings us to the main reason I'm here. I give you a choice; you can soldier on as it were, and wait for your friends, or you can face my first set of challenges to save your friend, the princesses and the entire kingdom" Manaquire explained.
"Challenges?" Rainbow asked.
"In order to face me, you must prove your worth, if you fail then Sunset will have to find her own way to help you, if you pass, your little human rejoins you for the final confrontation, so what do you say?" Manaquire asked.
Author's Notes: short chapter because I feel like crap, so anyway you'll find out more about Sunset next chapter, working on 'Surpirse!' right now because I find it easier to write while being tired as hell.
