	"Coming Rainbow Dash!!!" Pinkie shouted, "Well, unless there's something important to say, I need to get back to my friends."
"Meet you at the vacant shack." Radiant said.
"Let's do that more." Pinkie said as she pulled down a slide, and immediately, she and Radiant were both at the shack. "Let's make this quick, I don't like to disappoint my friends." She said.
"Okay," Radiant said, he asked, "Can you take me to Twilight?"
"Wait, you have us go to the shed, just to get Twilight? Okay." Pinkie said with a smile. "Hey Twilight!!!!" She shouted.
Twilight walked up. "Yes Pinkie?" She asked.
"Radiant wants to talk to you." Pinkie said.
"Hi, Twilight," Radiant said, "Am I glad to see you?"
"What is it?" Twilight asked.
"There is a vacant shack that may hold the secret to the disharmony of giants and tinies." Radiant said.
"Is there?" Twilight asked, "The princess told me never to open it. She said it could destroy Equestria and anything related to it."
Last I checked, nothing bad happened to me.
Radiant then saw an old book at the entrance. "Please, Radiant, don't pick it up." Twilight said, "Some things are just best left alone." She was concerned.
"What do you want me to do? Take a risk or burn the book down?" Radiant asked.
Don't burn it down, books are precious.
"Neither," Twilight said, "Just leave it. Nopony has touched it before and they won't touch it now."
"I know it's suspicious," Radiant said, "But trust me."
"Okay. I'll trust you." Twilight said. She saw Radiant use his magic to open the massive book. It wasn't a hex.

Twilight and Radiant began to read.
"30 moons ago, I was an outcast to all of Equestria. Nopony wants to be friends with me."
Radiant turned the next page.
"20 moons ago, I befriended the unicorn who told me about stealing the magical crown from Equestria's hero."
"Sounds good so far." Twilight said as she turned the page.
"10 moons ago, after my previous plan failed, I befriended another unicorn who seeks equality by stealing Cutie Marks."
"Sounds like Starlight Glimmer." Radiant said.
"Yes it does, actually." Twilight said. Radiant turned the page.
"5 moons ago, after her Cutie Mark theft attempt failed, I taught her the time travel spell and find the right time to keep Equestria's heroes from getting their Cutie Marks."
"Yup. It's Starlight's," Pinkie said ,"Let's go in." Pinkie opened the door.
"Wait!" Twilight yelled.
"One more page!" Radiant advocated. He turned the page.
"One moon ago, after losing my friends, I decided to find the way to shrink and enslave all of Equestria and torment Equestria's heroes."
"So it's not Starlight, then," Radiant said, "It is somepony else who wants to be famous."
"Its Twilight, isn't it?" Pinkie whispered.
"No." Radiant said. He looked at the picture of the moon, it points out the location of whoever wrote the diary.
"Wherever it is, let's go. Hurry before Rainbow Dash gets upset." Pinkie demanded.
"Okay." Radiant said, he took the picture with him in the process. "Let's rendezvous with Twilight's Castle." He said.
"Rrrrrrrr." Pinkie pushed Radiant all along. "Okay. Hurry, hurry, hurry!" She said.

Radiant and Pinkie eventually got to Twilight's Castle.
"Okay, we're here." Pinkie said.
"Everypony there?" Radiant called, "Rainbow Dash? Applejack? Fluttershy?"
"Yup." Rainbow Dash said.
"Mhm." Applejack said.
"Um, yes." Fluttershy said.
"I have good news and bad news." Radiant said.
"What?" The Mane Six asked.
"The bad news is that there is an evil lair located on the moon and somepony evil wants to shrink Equestria." Radiant said.
"Oh my," Fluttershy said, then asked "Do you know who it is?"
"I dunno, yet." Radiant said.
"So who is it?" Rarity asked.
"The good news is that I know how to get to the mysterious enemy's lair." Radiant said.
"Then what are we waiting for? Let's go." Applejack said.
"To Princess Luna." Radiant said.
"Is she the evil one?" Fluttershy asked as they walked.
"Not Luna," Radiant said, "She can help us get to the moon."
"Oh. Okay then." Fluttershy said.

Radiant and the Mane Six made it to the Canterlot Castle.
"State your business." the guard said.
Twilight stepped forward. "Were here to see Princess Luna. It's urgent." She said.
The guard nodded. "Alright, in you go, Princess Twilight." He said.
The Mane Six and Radiant went to see Princess Luna.
"We already met." Luna said, then asked, "What is this second meeting for?"
"To go to the moon, your highness," Radiant said, "No, not for banishment, for the important mission."
"What mission?" Luna said.
"To battle the mysterious enemy who wants to take control Equestria." Radiant said. He showed Luna the picture of the mysterious enemy's lair on the moon.
"Alright. I shall help you." Luna said. her horn lit up and the heroes were transported to the moon. She also put a spell on them so they all can breathe in space.
"Let's go!" Radiant said. He and the Mane Six enter the castle.

"I'm nervous about this. It don't seem right." Applejack said.
Radiant sees a couple of Timberwolves. "Timberwolves," He said, "I hate Timberwolves."
"What are they doing on the moon?" Fluttershy asked.
The wolves just watched and growled. They didn't move.
"Are they henchmen?" Radiant asked.
"I don't think this pony needs one if they live on the moon." Rainbow added.
"Looks like we have to use stealth." Radiant said. The doors of the castle opened. And a dark pony who looks like Radiant walked out.
"Is that him?" Fluttershy asked as backed away.

"Welcome, I see that you mares made it there." The dark pony said.
"Its.... it's your brother?" Applejack asked, she was shocked.
"Foolish pony, I am Dark Sword." Dark Sword said.
"Dark Sword!" Radiant said.
"You know, Radiant, if things go really bad, I have a contact that I met a while ago. He could come here if he wants." Pinkie said.
"Yup." Radiant said.
"Don't talk out of line, Element of Laughter!" Dark snapped.
"Ooh, he knows me. Hehe." Pinkie said.
"Well, if it isn't Twilight Sparkle," Dark said, "Fancy meeting you." he grinned.
"Enough," Twilight said, "We are here to defeat you."
"Defeat me? Is this a joke?" Dark Sword laughed.
"Silence!" Radiant exclaimed.

Radiant and the Mane Six begin the battle against Dark Sword.
Pinkie grabbed popcorn. "This is exciting." She said.
Dark Sword magically got his sword and swung it at Radiant. Radiant defend using his sword.
"Focus, Pinkie! This is battle, not entertainment!" Radiant said. Dark thrusts his sword forward. Radiant deflected his sword.
"Drat!" Dark shouted. "Say, you like being shrunk don't you?" He asked as he kicked Radiant back.
"Ow!" Radiant groaned, "Only if the Goddesses of Harmony let me... Twilight!"
"Then shrink." Dark used his magic to shrink Radiant down. He walked up to Radiant and raised his hoof. "Goodbye, Radiant." He said.
Radiant dodged. "You leave me no choice!" He said as he fired a beam at Dark.
"Ugh!" Dark groaned.

The heroes won... or did they..?
"Ugh... I see..." Dark said, unconscious, "So you are the Elements of Harmony..."
"No, we're ponies." Pinkie smiled.
"However, you never proved your worth..." Dark said, "But enough of this!" He started to charge up the shrinking spell and said, "I am going to shrink you, mares, and you will be imprisoned in your new home... Inside my jar!"
"Um Radiant, can I please get my contact now?" Pinkie asked, "These Timberwolves will attack if we interfere."
But it's too late, Dark Sword has shrunk down the Mane Six to Radiant's size and imprisoned the seven heroes inside his jar.
"What will you do with us?" Twilight asked.
"Please don't eat us." Fluttershy said.
"You will be my slaves for eternity," Dark Sword said, "Equestria will be mine!"
"No!" Radiant cried.
"But you won't eat us." Rainbow said.
But Dark Sword left.
