"911 what your emergency." said the operator. "There's a strange looking creature inside of my house." Said a unicorn holding her phone with her magic with a scared tone in her voice. She was hiding in her room. "Okay ma'am we need you to come down." "Can you tell me what the creature looks like what kind of skin does it have?" said the operator. "It has clothing covering its whole body and the clothing looks like tactical gear." The unicorn explained. "Could you at least see the eyes?" the operator asked. "It has three glowing green eyes and one regular eye." Said the unicorn. "What else can you tell us about the creature?" Asked the operator. "It stands on two legs and has one hoof that multiplies into 10 little hoofs." As she was explaining the legs and hands. "Okay ma'am now we only need your address." said the operator. Forgetting that they can trace the signal. As soon as the unicorn was about to give her address the creature walked in her room. She dropped her phone and was walking backwards as the creature walked toward her. It stopped where she had dropped the phone. It picked the phone up and put it to its ear. "Hello hello." Said the voice over the phone. When the operator knew that the creature had the phone up to its ear and she said. "Listen to me if you even hurt that girl we will track you down and when we find you you'll be very sorry." Then she heard the creature respond had an accent. "You won't be able to stop me." "You don't know who or what I am." "I'm not scared of you." "You should be scared of me." Then the creature dropped the phone and smashed it. "Listen yo…" The operator knew she was cut off. "Somepony traces that signal now!" the operator ordered.

But when they got there they were too late to damage already had been done. They saw the unicorn lying dead on the floor in her room. When the detective saw this she a very sad look on her face. "I guess I have a family to talk to." Said the detective. "Ma'am we found something." Said a police officer while he was walking to the detective. "We found this note" said the officer as he handed the detective the note.

And it read: this is only the beginning the worst is yet to come. I am not alone the nightmare is about to begin.

On the back of the note there was a symbol it was the inner circle. Of course they don't know what the inner circle is. "Well we can't help anypony at this point because we have no idea where the symbol came from, what it means, or what it represents." Somewhere else in Ponyville there was a family as having family fun. A mother, a father, a filly, and colt. But their fun was interrupted by a knock on the door. The father opened the door. The was the detective. "Are you Mr. and Mrs. Lover?" Asked the detective. Yes. The mother replied. "May I come in?" The detective asked. "Of course ma'am." Said the father. They all took a seat. "It's about your daughter." Said the detective. The children asked. "Did our sister do something wrong?" then the detective said. "Your daughter was found dead in her room last night." The family had a devastating look on their faces. The mother fell to the ground crying while the dad and the children hugged her and cried along. "Who would do something like this?" The father asked. "Who or whatever it is." "It is not of this world and left behind a note that a symbol on it that we've never seen before." "But I can assure you we are going to find who or what ever did this."

Back on Earth the soldiers had one more day left to get ready to head over to where they the distress call came from. They went to briefing "OK gentlemen" said the lieutenant. "For TF141 there will be Captain Price, Soap, Roach, Ghost, Nicolai, and Yuri." Than a few other TF 141 soldiers the lieutenant mentioned. Then he said. "For the Army Rangers Sergeant Foley, Corporal Dunn, Private Ramirez." Then a few other army Rangers. "Tomorrow you'll leave in 600 HRS good luck gentleman" said lieutenant then went on. "Now get some rest if a big day ahead of you tomorrow".

"All right is everyone geared up for tomorrow?" asked sergeant Foley. Yes sir. All the soldiers replied that was going on a mission Ramirez, and Dunn were resting on their beds. Dunn was just sitting there reading a magazine while Ramirez was cleaning out his M4A1 and other weapons he was going to bring on the mission. "Man these coordinates sure don't sound normal." Dunn said. "Isn't it basically just a wasteland I mean would you set up a base there?" Dunn continued. "Well there could be some inhabitants there." Foley said. "If there's a strip club there I know Dunn goanna get on that." Said Ramirez in a joking manner. "Screw you Ramirez." Dunn replied. "Cut the cheddar and get some rest." Foley replied. Just as they were about to go to bed and announcement came on. "Attention all soldiers going on the mission tomorrow." "The amount of soldiers has been cut down the only soldiers going on this mission will be Sergeant Foley, Corporal Dunn, Private Ramirez, captain Price, Soap, Roach, Ghost, Yuri, and Nikolai." then the announcement ended.

"Think we got enough ammo." "I mean since there is only going to be 10 of us." Roach said. "Don't worry mate." "They'll be given us plenty of equipment." Ghost replied. "All right is everyone packed up which include spare weapons, spare equipment, and spare clothing." Soap said. Yup all set, ready, all geared up. Everyone replied. "All right ladies get some rest we need to be prepared for whatever comes our way tomorrow." price ordered. So everyone went to bed.

It was a quiet day at sugar cube corner. Pinkie Pie was just sitting board in the shop. I know right for once Pinkie Pie is bored. But was troubled by two things. The fact that no customers came in or the fact that she misses Yuri. Even though Yuri wasn't that funny she still had a fun time being around him. (Please do not think perverted.) All of a sudden the door started to open. "Finally the customer." Pinkie Pie said to herself. But this customer made her even happier. "Hay girlfriend." it was Amy Rose. "Amy!" Pinkie Pie said with excitement. She jumped over the table and they gave each other a hug. "What are you doing here?" Pinkie asked. "Well I have to check on my best friends and have some of their delicious treats." Amy replied with a smile.

Mr. Cake walked in. "Pinkie Pie could you do me a favor by turning on the news." Mr. Cake asked. Pinkie turn on the news. "On tonight's story on Equestria's Daily News". Said the announcer. "Last night a mare was murdered in her own house." The news reporter said then went on. She was found dead in her room." "She was however able to describe the attacker last night." "She said it was wearing black clothing had three glowing eyes and one normal eye and stood on two's." everyone in the shop gasped in sorrow and horror.

"That is just horrible I feel so sorry for her family." Amy said. And then the news went on. "The name of the mare was Flower Growth here is a picture of her."

"Pinkie please be a deer and um turn off the news." Pinkie turned off the TV. Meanwhile up and Cantorlot the art contest was going on. But this one with only for the art critics and the artists that made the art. All the critics were given their opinions on some of the art. Some of the critics were nice and some not so nice. There is one piece of artwork that seemed very off. It was a statue of three weird looking creatures two of them kneeling on the ground pointing these artifacts that they were holding in their hand while one was standing on two's and had its body facing to the right and was holding a smaller artifact that looked like the other two and had it pointed at the roof. "My sculpture is quite artistic whoever did this put a lot of effort into it I like the sculpture it's so lifelike like its alive." as soon as he said that he wasn't sure if he was hallucinating or not but he thought he saw the sculpture's head turn to him. Then he rubbed his eyes and the sculptures head had been back into place.

Then the world famous artist and art critic was at the art show. Of course he had nothing nice to say about any of the artwork. "Hideous, disgraceful, shouldn't even be called art, belongs in the trash, this is a disgrace to all art." Said the famous artist and other snobby ponies that were with him. Then he came up to the sculpture that had the weird looking creatures. "Now this piece of art is a very peculiar it's nothing of this world war and Celestia's in named is it." "This is the worst piece of art I've ever seen and I know I'm not much of an artist when it comes to fashion but what they are wearing is hideous." said the art critic. "Disgusting, and abomination, some ponies just can't appreciate art." said so the other snobs that was with him.

As there are starting to walk away the sculpture that was standing up started to move its body some of the other credit gasped in Fear and surprise. It pointed its weapon at one of the female snob ponies and then fired. Bang as they heard a shot. The critic and some of the other snobs looked at the dead mare on the ground then looked at the statue. The statue is alive! One of the snobs yelled in the fear. Then the other two stepped out of place as are all firing their weapons.

The Royal Guard was on their way to stop the madness one of the creatures opened the door all three of them put on gas masks one pulled out a grenade that contained poisonous gas. He pulled the pin and then tossed a grenade and then slammed the door is shut. Hearing the sound of Royal Guards coughing and slowly dying. All but the snobby critics were able to escape but would not be able to describe the creatures to the police. More Royal Guards came to stop the madness but the creatures were expecting that. They did here Royal Guards coughing. There wasn't enough gas left in the air to kill someone. The creatures opened the doors and then fired their weapons killing all of the Royal Guards that came to stop them. The creatures then walked up to the snobby ponies. "Please we did not mean what we said please don't kill us." the critic begged. The one creature that was in charge fired his weapon leaving only the artist alive.

"Don't worry we have plans for you." said the creature followed by an evil laugh.
