"Peace only comes if one friend dies."

Rainbow Cloud is asleep in her room. A communicator sounds and she got out of the bed yawning. Getting on her hooves and talks into her communication device. "Yes...what's up?" She yawns and Sugar Sparkle speaks. "I'm sorry to wake you Rainbow... But it's your father." She gets off the bed and turns on the monitor and on the monitor of the communication is a griffin. "Hello, dad do you know what time it is?" The Griffin chuckles. "So I can't call my daughter? You know you would never give your mother this treatment." Rainbow smiles. "But anyway father you're not calling for something about mother or you... I know something is wrong... Your feathers are on end..." The Griffin sighs and looks towards the window. "We need you to come here. Bring your friends as well... This is something they need to see as well." She blinks and sighs

An hour later the eight are near the ship and Muffin yawns but her eyes are extremely bloodshot. "Why did you have to wake up for this?" Rainbow sighs. "I was asked to now... get on the ship." Luna calmly came to see the eight off and bows her head. "Please be careful... I shall keep the queen at bay by showing her the refit of the station." Rainbow Cloud nodded and got into the ship with the others. Looking to see Spike with them and blinks. "Spike... why are you?" Spike smiled. "Since... Sugar Sparkle can't sit in her seat... I will come..." Rainbow sighed and sat at the piolets chair. Starting up the ship and flew it out of the station. Outside of the station, it seems mostly ponies in space suits updating and refining the systems. They open the empty space tech and after a few hours. They come out on new Griffon stone. The Griffin ships... Seem to be built from a strange unknown metal and they are shaped like griffins in space.

They slowly decent into the planet and land at the station. A pink brown female Griffin is waiting. She rushes and hugs Rainbow Cloud tightly. "Hello, mother." She turns to the half hawk half lion griffin pure white. "Hello, father... What do you two need?" The two look at each other and sigh. "Come with us." The eight along with Spike follow. The two Griffin's lead the ponies Zebra and Dragon through the carved in stone buildings. They get in the house and all over is photos of Rainbow growing up with her brothers. "Mother... father... why are we here?"

The griffin's sigh and the father walks into the back and brings out the basket that held Rainbow Cloud. "You do know..that you're a descendent of Rainbow Dash... But we found this... For you when you got old enough to understand." Lifts up a crystal. With the word. "The truth." He offers it to his daughter and smiled. "The note said... have her watch this... with her friends. From what they said... It holds what happened to Rainbow Dash."

Spike eyes go wide and sits down with a flop. Like he was there. He had seen in his eyes. "Go....watch...it..." He sniffs. Rainbow Cloud puts the crystal in the computer and it starts to play. It's years ago way before the station was found. Just the new tech started to happen along with the Alliance. Twilight was in her princess outfit with a beaten Rainbow dash chained and literally starved and close to death. "Rainbow Dash... your hate for our new allies, the changelings... Caused the death of Soarin and the rest of the wonderbolts." Rainbow dash spoke out. "But they were going to kill you and then replace you!!" The guards smack their hooves into Dash groaning.

"Their queen was found dead before this attack. The changelings want a different queen. Their searching for a new one now. But Dash you murdered so many of our allies. From this day forth... you and your descendants will have your sins they aren't welcomed in Ponyvile anymore unless their extremely loyal." The others Applejack, Fluttershy, Rarity and Pinkie Pie were crying... knowing what is going to happen. "Someday Equestria may forgive you." The axe is given to her in her magic. Then Rainbow Speaks out. "What happened to everything we did together? What happened to the magic of friendship... What happen to you Twilight?! Open your heads this alliance is a fake. This is nothing but to give you and the princess more power over the world." Spike rushes to try to stop Twilight and her axe would lift over him. "Move... back Spike or... I will kill you as well."

Spike sobs and Spike calmly walked away not watching. The camera looks at Twilight's face her face looks like it's not even the Princess of Friendship. She may be an Alicorn but you can see all the stress and pain in her eyes for wanting to do this. "Someday one of your descendants will get the gull to be hidden. I will find them and then kill them... So your line... is fully removed from this world. Goodbye, old friend."

Then a swing with the axe removes Rainbow dashes head and there is a pony there... That everyone has seen even today. Sun Sparkle gasped. "Dad? But... He shouldn't have been alive during that time." Then crystal goes to Rainbow Dash speaking. "If you're all seeing this... then that means I am dead. But I have been asked by Celestia to hunt down a strange being that infiltrated and is trying to get in the good graces of Twilight. The mission failed but I did find him. He calls himself the element of war. A strange pony being..that has said... That he was in a place called the empty space. Then got a world and infused what he told to the queen... Before he killed her... That he was infused with half of the Element of war... He has been breeding with Twilight since he fell for her."

Everypony and Zebra turn to look at Sun Sparkle. "My father is the enemy. No wonder why I never met him..."

"I am sorry to all my friends... I know Twilight is being controlled by this male... Because she loves him... But those that see this... please don't allow our world to fall..." There are sounds of the door being smashed into. Rainbow gathered her gun. "I am sorry.." She pulls out the crystal and the screen goes blank.

The griffins sighs. "Rainbow..." The male speaks who is named Slicer. "This crystal has been protected by your entire family till it found it's way to us. This pony corrupted Twilight's heart. She even forgot that she killed Rainbow when she woke up on the day she found the station. She has been controlled by both sides. I know this well because... Our world is a world of harmony... Harbouring our new allies since... the planet was founded." Slicer looked back to his daughter and sighed. "But I am sorry to say... Rainbow you're going to have to face Twilight and take her down... But don't kill her... Remove the toxic influence from both sides of the war. Not all of the griffins of the new Griffin stone is happy at being pawns."

Rainbow looked to her friends and sighed softly. "I feel this war is going to kill us all... Oh... and father, mother... I am engaged to that stallion I told you about." Slicer looked to his wife and they both smiled and gave Rainbow a tight, tight hug. "Good for you now get back to the station... This war is going to be starting soon... When all the counter of elements of harmony start their battles. Four have started. Hopefully, it takes time for the rest to come and shine... So the army of harmony can get ready to fight."

Muffin seemed to have wandered off into the house and Savannah was gone as well. Muffin took a stim and gasped happily. "Muffin..." Muffins ear's perk up and turns to her Zebra friend. "What... are you doing Muffin?" Muffin grew angry the thing about stims it didn't allow you to control your anger that well. "What?! I am useless if I sleep... I need to be ready... I need to be ready!!" Savannah stared at her. "Muffin... sooner or later... Luna or Rainbow Cloud will know. They will demand you to stop or force you to leave your job as the doctor of the station." Muffin growled and walked back to the others and Savannah sighed. "Muffin... you're addicted to them." Muffin turned and stared. "I will know if I am, SO DROP IT!!" She said loud enough for the others to hear. Savannah backed up a bit and sighed Muffin went back to the others. Sugar Sparkle softly asked Savannah. "What was that about?" Savannah looked at her and shook her head.

Slicer looked back outside. "I think it's time for you to get back to the station... I warn you... Daughter... You will be fighting friends... and maybe even family in this war." Rainbow cloud nods and looks to her friends. Seeing her griffin sister walk in and they stare at each other. "Sister." The Griffin spoke she has many scars and wearing armour of a new Griffin stone guard. "Hello, White feather." They don't seem to care for each other as Rainbow cloud walked out of the house. Charity blinked. "Darling... Rainbow... what was that about?" Rainbow looks back and sighed. "I'd rather not talk about it... Let's get back to the station. But Charity, girls... Spike... Now you understand why I hate the pony race... and feel happier around Griffins." They nod. "But I'm not a pony I'm a Zebra... But I get what you mean. Even If... I don't rhyme like a Zebra..."

The eight along with Spike walk back to the ship but there are many guards around the area and a guard came up and whispered to Rainbow and her ears droop. "Girls get to the ship. I got something I need to deal with. Apparently, our Queen is in this world. She is waiting for me on her ship." Spike's eyes go wide. "I will go with you."

Rainbow nods and heads to the royal landing pad with Spike not far behind. Twilight's ship had her cutie mark on the side and was her the colour of her coat and basically a small little shuttle. Twilight was waiting and her eyes turned extremely soft seeing Spike... It's been almost a month since she called him away. But her focus went to Rainbow Cloud. "What can I do for you, my queen?"

Twilight smiled softly and sat down. "I heard that you're here to visit your family with your friends... I just wanted to come to well... speak to you and Spike. Look I know I haven't been myself lately... and treated my daughter like trash... But I have been under so much stress. I need allies. I need you to be one of my allies." Rainbow's eyes stared at the Queen and she knew sooner or later... She would have to break this trust... But that would be another day... Maybe she could help Twilight on a different path before the end. "I will be your ally as well as my friends..." Twilight nodded. "I need all eight of you to watch... Luna and if she starts to betray the Equestrian way of life... I want you to imprison her and give her to me."

Rainbow looked up and nodded. "Of course my queen." Twilight looks to Spike and her gaze softens. "Spike... come back with me... I miss you..."

Spike looks up to Twilight and stares at her. "No... Twilight you have changed so much... You broke your promise to Fluttershy that you would never force Discord to be good. You literally destroyed all your friendships and remember... The crystal empire... When you said that will never come to the past." Twilight's eyes fill with tears. "You're destroying the castle of friendship... To rebuild canterlot you tossed Luna... out... You are changing how Equestria works... Twilight you have turned into a monster!!" He stares at her with much anger. Then turns away walking back to the other dock. Twilight eyes turn hard with tear's falling. "Also... watch him... Rainbow... If he starts to turn on Equestria..." She sobs at her words. "Kill him." Rainbow turns away and nods. "I shall my queen... I shall do it in your name." She walks away

Twilight is left on the docks watching them and then after awhile watching the ship leave. A figure in a cloak comes out. "I told you... that he would betray you Twilight." Twilight looked up. "You were right." The hood of the figure came off. As another with a cloak had its hood come off. "You both were right... Sunset and Starlight." Starlight seemed to be turned into a cyborg half of her body gone to keep herself alive...And Sunset Shimmer seemed to find a spell that keeps herself alive forever.

"I trust those... Eight... but soon when Luna is removed from the station... We will have full control and then remove the aliens from it... To remove ourselves from this fake war."

Starlight nods as she has become very heartless used to love spike as a brother... But no longer Sunset Shimmer just seemed to be a lot different after so long... It's been so long since the two even showed up. Starlight Twilights only friend left alive. Sunset Shimmer a friend... But both are alive still. It seems a story is about to happen. Before the fall of Harmony.
