-Chapter 4 1/2-
The green unicorn turned his back on the four stunned mares and walked out of their line of sight. He closed his eyes, focusing his magic to observe their long walk to the surface. Once satisfied that they had left, he returned to the forge.
After magically locking the door behind him, a bright blue flame erupted in the back corner of the room. The unicorn turned towards the flame unfazed and muttered under his breath “Perfect timing, as always”
“-an…he…ca…ke it” the flames sputtered, an ear-piercing buzz emanated as the flame brightened “There we go, just needed to adjust the frequency. ‘Allo, can you hear me now?”
“That I can” the unicorn responded “I suppose you wish to know the progress of the ‘project’”
“Wot, I can’t just call ta say, ‘allo?” asked the voice from the flames indignantly
“You haven’t” replied the unicorn angrily, there was a long silence.
“Sooo…how is the plan proceeding?” the flame finally asked
“Well, very well” replied the green stallion as he walked over too his anvil “I’ll have the Elements in eight days, whether they like it or not, and then we can move on to phase two”
“Hmm, phase two.” Said the mysterious flame “I’ll be arriving soon, but…”
“If ‘he’ follows you through the portal?” chuckled the green unicorn as he pulled the sheet from his creations “even he couldn’t affect our plans now.” Sitting on the anvil were two large gemstones. One pitch black the other brilliant white, both attached to golden necklaces identical to the elements of harmony.
A day later, at Canterlot castle an eerie noise echoed through the halls.

The guards never took notice of the took no notice of the strange blue box that materialized in the middle of the courtyard, or of the brown earth pony with an hourglass cutie mark, bow tie and fez that stepped out. “Well now, where to begin” said the earth pony with a gleeful smile.
