It was the afternoon when the sun was shining through Equestria. Things seemed quiet in Ponyville, nothing unusual was happening and everypony was minding their own business. Some of the ponies were just doing what they normally do. Like Big Macintosh was pulling a cart of hay, Granny Smith was sitting down and playing chess with another old pony, and Cheerilee was having the foals try a physical activity. In the skies, Thunderlane was giving his little brother, Rumble, a ride above Ponyville, Derpy was helping some Pegasi move a piano into a movers truck, but lost her grip when she dropped it as one of the Pegasi glared at her, resulting in Derpy giving the Pegasus a sheepish smile. The next scene showed Daisy, Lilly, and Rose talking at a small café. Even the Cutie Mark Crusaders were running, having fun with Apple Bloom in the lead with Scootaloo and Sweetie Belle playing tag. At this time, the scene focused on what the Main Six was doing, resting under a tree while having a picnic in one of the parks in Ponyville. Applejack had brought out the apple treats, Pinkie Pie brought out the desserts, Rarity was making sure all things were elegant to feel pleasant during their picnic, Fluttershy was nuzzling a few chipmunks that were checking out what was going on, Rainbow Dash was relaxing up in a tree, and Twilight was catching up on a book while hanging out with her friends. The girls also invited Spike to the picnic which the baby dragon was excited to have a meal with Rarity, the pony he had a crush on.

“Ah, nothing can ruin this day!” Rainbow sighed, glancing at the sky above. “Ain’t it the truth? This was a fine idea, Twilight!” Applejack nodded.

“Thanks, after helping out with the Equestria Games in the Crystal Empire, I think we needed a break.” Twilight agreed. “I mean, it’s been weeks since the Equestria Games was announced to be held at the Crystal Empire!” Pinkie exclaimed, popping in between her friends.

“Indeed, but it’s time we relax now, darling.” Rarity nodded as she used her magic to stir her tea cup before sipping it.

“Oh yeah, the view’s just…perfect.” Spike sighed with a calm expression, watching Rarity nearby. “Oh yes and the animals are so friendly.” Fluttershy nodded happily.

The chipmunks chattered something that only Fluttershy could hear. “The view here is very nice too.” She added. “In the words of Big Mac, ‘Eeyup’ is the right word!” Rainbow smiled.

“I couldn’t agree more on how my brother puts those words right on the spot!” Applejack laughed. “And after we’re done, we’ll play some games!” Pinkie cheered.

“Don’t worry, Pinkie Pie. I’m sure we’ll get to them soon.” Rarity reassured.

As the ponies were settling nicely for their picnic, Spike was collecting some paper plates from the meals the group ate when suddenly…he saw a pony running towards them.

“Uh, Twilight? Did you notice that a pony’s running towards us?” He asked. “Spike, I don’t know what you’re talking about and—“Twilight began until she felt somepony tap her back.

“Excuse me; are you a citizen of Ponyville?” A voice asked in a deep British accent. Twilight looked behind her to see an alicorn stallion with light blue eyes, a blonde mane and beard, a peach coat, and a lightning bolt with a hammer in front of it as a cutie mark wearing silver armor with a red cape attached along with silver sleeves and silver arm guards on them and staring at her with a confused expression.

“Yes, I am.” She nodded. “I’m Twilight Sparkle and these are my friends: Applejack, Pinkie Pie, Fluttershy, Rainbow Dash, Rarity, and Spike. Are you new here? And what’s your name?”

“Actually, I am not from around here. I come from Ponyheim, the neighboring kingdom of Equestria. My name is Thor.” The alicorn greeted.

“Nice to meet you, Thor! Why don’t you join us?” Rainbow asked from the tree.

“Alright.” Thor nodded. “Also, Twilight, was Princess Celestia invited to our picnic?” Spike questioned, looking up at the sky.

“I don’t think so, Spike. It was just the seven of us until Thor showed up.” Twilight answered. “Wait, you know Princess Celestia?” Thor asked.

“Yeah, she’s my tutor. I’m her student and she’s the ruler of Equestria alongside her sister.” Twilight responded.

“Well, Princess Celestia and her sister were friends with my father, Odin who is the ruler of Ponyheim back when they were foals.” Thor explained. “That’s really interestin’, Thor.” Applejack commented.

“Then, can somepony explain why she’s coming in her chariot pulled by her Pegasus guards?” Spike asked.

True to his words, up in the skies was a chariot pulled by six white Pegasi stallions in royal guard armor and once more, they were pulling something along. It was Celestia and she was approaching Ponyville quickly.

“Princess Celestia!” The Mane Six, Spike, and Thor gasped.

What was Celestia doing in town without announcing her arrival? With nothing else to say, the group ran from their picnic and off to where Celestia might be heading. At this moment, the action of the Princess coming from the sky was not only noticed by the group, but many other ponies dropped their activities to see Celestia coming to their town. Then, it wasn’t long when the chariot landed in front of Town Hall. The princess gracefully stepped out of the chariot as she approached the Mayor of Ponyville who gasped at her arrival.

“P-P-Princess Celestia…” The Mayor stuttered. “T-To what do we honor your…unexpected appearance in Ponyville?” She bowed quickly. “Mayor, I need you to get everypony gathered here for an important announcement I’ll be making.” Celestia commanded.

“I would gladly do so.” The Mayor nodded. “What’s wrong, Mayor?” Celestia asked.

“Um, that task won’t be needed at this time because…” The Mayor began. “Everypony is already here.” True to her words, Celestia turned to see the ponies that had gave up their activities to gather around Town Hall. She nodded and faced the front of the crowd to announce her warning.

“Citizens, please calm down!” The Mayor reassured as she went up to her podium. “I know it’s a surprise that Princess Celestia is here, but she has an important announcement to make.” This caused many ponies in the crowd to start chattering nervously.

“Your highness.” The Mayor said, bowing while Celestia went up to the podium. “Citizens, I come to you unexpectedly for an important announcement. “ Celestia began. There was a surprised reaction in the crowd as they chattered and wondered about what the announcement was about. Those like Big Macintosh and Granny Smith were puzzled, the Cutie Mark Crusaders were just confused about what was happening, Daisy, Lilly, and Rose were gasping in shock, and even Derpy knew that this spelled trouble. Even the Main Six, Thor, and Spike joined the crowd and wondered what was happening.

“I bring news…that soon we have a new enemy upon us.” Celestia continued. “Luna and I are aware of this new enemy and are preparing for the worst if it reaches Ponyville! My captain of the Royal Guards will assist with protecting the town.” A lot of ponies were muttering about this, but turned to see Celestia’s unicorn and Pegasi guards march in with their captain: Shining Armor.

“My brother’s here?!” Twilight gasped. “You have a brother too?” Thor asked. “What’s your brother like, Thor?” Rarity questioned.

“Well, he’s kind of hates me, but I still love him.” Thor sighed sadly. “That’s horrible!” Fluttershy gasped.

“This new enemy may pose a threat from similar events we’ve gone through, but unlike the others…” Celestia explained. “This being is more dangerous than the others. The new enemy possesses powers to rival that of other foes like Nightmare Moon, but is a trickster like Discord. And like Queen Chrysalis, he’s sending in an army and is highly skilled at magic like King Sombra.” Now, this got the ponies really panicked.

“Everypony, please! Calm down!” Celestia yelled.

“WE DEMAND SILENCE!!!” A loud voice screamed. Everypony calmed down to see Luna walk in with her own guards.

“Thank you, Luna.” Celestia nodded before continuing. “The members of the enemy’s army are currently unknown, but I fear they are common beings who caused mischief in the town and have been banished. Shining Armor, please step forward.”

“Yes, Princess Celestia.” Shining Armor nodded, stepping forward. “You were once given the task to set up a magical barrier around Canterlot to prevent the Changelings from attacking. I ask you now to do the same for Ponyville.” Celestia commanded. “Forgive me for asking, but what about Canterlot?” Shining Armor asked. “The new enemy stated that an attack will be in a place I cannot protect. He was possibly referring to Ponyville. While I may be inside Canterlot Castle or at Cloudsdale, the enemy could strike anywhere.” Celestia answered.

“That is why you get to stay here with the guards as my sister and I watch over Canterlot and Cloudsdale.” Luna added.

“If it was one, there would be nothing to worry about, but his forces are getting stronger by the minute.” “Indeed, you know as much as I do about this enemy.” Celestia nodded.

“Yes, your highnesses.” Shining Armor nodded as he bowed his head slightly. The crowd began to chatter about what may happen next.

“Shining Armor, prepare your magic before us. My sister and I will increase our magic to help you.” Luna commanded. “Alright, here goes…” Shining Armor sighed, closing his eyes.

He closed his eyes as his horn glowed and Celestia’s and Luna’s horns began glowing as well before a dark blue beam shot up into the air. The spell then spread out all over Ponyville. Soon, the three casters stopped and noticed their work, knowing that no enemies will get through the barrier.

“The barrier is up. We must leave, sister.” Luna informed Celestia. “We have stationed enough guards here to protect the citizens, the rest are waiting for orders back at the castle.”

“Have faith, my subjects. We will insure that nopony gets harmed. Captain Shining, take care.” Celestia concluded, making way to her chariot.

“Yes, Princess Celestia.” Shining Armor nodded as he gave her a salute. Soon enough, Celestia’s and Luna’s chariots pulled by the Pegasi guards flew through the barrier with no problem. Now, all of Ponyville knew that they had to trust the Princesses that everything was going to be ok.

“Shining Armor!” Twilight called out, running towards her brother. “Twily!” Shining Armor grinned as he hugged his sister and greeted her friends. “And who’s this?”

“This is our new friend, Thor! He’s from Equestria’s neighborhood kingdom, Ponyheim!” Pinkie answered happily. “It is a pleasure to meet you, Captain Shining.” Thor nodded. “Same here, Thor.” Shining Armor grinned.

“So, how’s Cadance been doing?” Rarity asked. “She’s at the Crystal Empire where it’s safe. “ Shining Armor answered with a small smile.

“I can see why after hearing what Princess Celestia said, but still! It isn’t much.” Spike commented. “It’s never much, Spike. This enemy’s very dangerous.” Shining Armor explained. “So, the princesses put you in charge of protecting Ponyville?” Twilight questioned, staring at her BBBFF (Big Brother Best Friend Forever).

“Believe me, Twily, this is only the start.” Shining Armor said. “Princess Celestia is staying in Canterlot while Princess Luna’s going to Cloudsdale to be on the lookout for the enemy.”

“Just between us, but how tough is this varmint?” Applejack asked. “Well, I…” Shining Armor began. “Is he big, creepy, and eats ponies for dinner?! EEEEEEEEEEEEEP!” Fluttershy yelped as she jumped into the bushes. “My apologizes, I accidently bumped this tree and a leaf fell off.” Thor apologized.

“It’s ok, Thor…”

“Well, I’m not exactly sure what it is.” Shining Armor replied.

“Well, have you seen this villain? What does he look like?” Rarity asked.

“Oh, is it a minotaur? No, a Manticore; No, a Hydra; No, a Quarry Eel; No, a Windigo? No, an Ursa Major; No, an Ursa Minor! Or is it a—“Pinkie blabbed on before she ran out of ideas.

“Pinkie, please be quiet…I can’t say, but all I know is that the enemy is dangerous.” Shining Armor interrupted while the Cutie Mark Crusaders walked up to him.

“Just how dangerous is this enemy?” Scootaloo questioned.

“What if it’s a girl?” Sweetie Belle asked. “Could ya at least tell us what the enemy is, even if it’s a he or a she?” Apple Bloom questioned. “Fine…it’s a he, that’s all I’ll say.” Shining Armor groaned.

“Please, we’ll have your back on this bad boy, whoever he is.” Rainbow smiled, waving her left hoof. “I’m afraid, I can’t allow that.” Shining Armor sighed.

“Why? We’ve handled situations like this before, Shining Armor.” Twilight asked. “This enemy is not like Queen Chrysalis or King Sombra, not even like that crazy Discord or Nightmare Moon. This one’s different, but he has personalities of all of them combined.” Shining Armor answered.

“Captain Shining, is there something you are not telling us?” Thor questioned. “Because I could help out with defending this kingdom. So, can you tell us about this enemy?”

“Thor, I guess that this enemy is from your home kingdom: Ponyheim.” Shining Armor responded. “You don’t mean it’s…” Thor gasped in shock.

“The thing I’m fearing is that the new enemy we’re about to face with his army might be the same figure who killed Twilight’s foalhood friend, Dinky.” Shining Armor interrupted. This left the group in shock when they heard this, but not as shocked as Twilight. The new enemy that they were preparing to fight had killed her foalhood friend. Pretty much, everypony just tried to brush off the feeling of the barrier over them and it was keeping them safe from danger. Meanwhile, it was reaching noon by the timing of the sun’s position in the skies. But, at this moment, somewhere near the outskirts of Ponyville, in the Everfree Forest, something wicked was brewing. Coming near a shady spot in the forest, there were a number of suspicious figures all lined up. Their appearances were all well-known: Trixie, Flim, Flam, Gilda, and The Diamond Dogs. They were being led by none other than the shadowy figure known as Loki.

“They will never learn…such a pity.” Loki smirked as he watched the citizens struggle to forget him and his army.

“Loki, shouldn’t we wait?” Trixie asked. “No, the time to attack is perfect. You all know your task.” Loki answered. “Yes, sir!” The other members of the army nodded.

“Then, is the cannon complete?” The shadowy figure questioned, gesturing to the object covered with a white sheet. “My brother and I have finished the weapon you requested, sir!” Flim announced happily. “Behold, the latest in barrier destroying technology…” Flam began. “The Ballistic Blasters 7000!” The brothers concluded as they levitated the sheet in order to reveal their latest invention. From under the white sheet came a huge bronze cannon about 20 feet tall with camouflage designs and flaming cannon balls as ammo. Now, the members of the army stared at the machines with odd expressions on their faces, except for Gilda who was not amused while Loki smirked and observed the invention made to attack Ponyville.

“It’s top of the line in taking these flaming cannon balls and launching them at the barrier, causing them to explode.” Flim explained.

“And for our special deal, you get a connector set all stationed around Ponyville without being seen!” Flam added proudly, moving his yellow hoof across his mustache while pointed to a cable that was connected to the machine and traced to other Ballistic Blasters 7000s.

“Ugh, like hanging out with salesponies wasn’t enough…” Gilda groaned as she slapped her forehead with her left claw in annoyance. “Just be thankful they don’t do a song number.” Trixie sighed.

“Well, now let us…begin!” Loki announced, signaling his army to attack. Soon, Flim and Flam began levitating the flaming cannon balls into the opening of the first cannon and began flipping the switches. Then, through the cables went from one machine to the next and the cannons rose up to aim at the barrier. Then, without warning, BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! The cannons began firing above Ponyville and exploding when the cannon balls hit the barrier. At this time, in Cloudsdale, things seemed to look peaceful and quiet…or until dark clouds drifted in different paths to Cloudsdale. Instead of passing through the place, it collided against the structure of lighter clouds, damaging the home of the Pegasi. Speaking of which, many Pegasi were flying for their lives with terrified expressions while many were taken to safe places by Luna’s guards. Around this time, after the guards had secured the area, Luna descended on the clouds and noticed the damage from the sudden attack.

“EVERYPONY, EVACUATE TO A SAFE SHELTER! HURRY NOW!” Luna commanded in her Royal Canterlot voice. BOOM! BOOM! There was an explosion that shook Cloudsdale firmly. Luna watched as many citizens fly off and follow her guards.

“What’s attacking us?” She asked the nearest guard. “Your highness, it’s the clouds themselves.” The guard answered with a shocked expression.

“What? But this is impossible! Clouds are the softest material known to ponykind!” Luna gasped. “Then, you best tell them that.” The guard said as he pointed in the direction that Luna found something invisible slipping under the barrier.

“I’ll handle what’s happening, protect the civilians!” Luna commanded with a strict expression. “Yes, your highness!” The guard nodded. Soon, Luna was in the air and flew towards the barrier, phasing through it since it was created with her magic. Then, she came face to face with the strangest thing: huge gray clouds were approaching Cloudsdale and Luna had to act fast.

“What is this?” Luna asked, catching a piece of the destroyed cloud she hit. The princess of the Night could see and feel that it isn’t a soft fabric, but hard as a rock. “How can this be? Who could change clouds from their soft nature to hard rock?” She asked herself. Then, Luna realized that it wasn’t making sense and it was almost…discorded.

“BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Isn’t it a puzzling question that spells…chaos?” A familiar voice cackled from within the clouds. “Is this even possible? Show yourself!” Luna demanded as she knew this was familiar to her. “Ah, it’s been a long time, Princess Luna…” The voice mused, appearing in front of Luna who recognized the creature from the head and mismatched body parts; it was none other than Discord.

“It has been a thousand years to be precise.” Luna commented. “You are not welcome here, Discord!” “Oh, I’m hurt you feel that way…” Discord said sarcastically as he patted his chest while pretending to be hurt by Luna’s words. “How were you set free?” Luna asked with a puzzled expression.

“Let’s just say I made a new ‘friend’ and I’m having a fun time here!” Discord exclaimed happily while tapping his fingers together. It all became clear to Luna: The dark clouds that were hard as rocks were part of Discord’s doing. “I won’t let you get away with this!” She yelled. “Oh, says the mare that was jealous of her sister, she became a being of darkness…” Discord grumbled. “Tell me something right now, which of you is more Nightmare Moon, the ‘evil’ part of the truth?” “That’s none of your concerns! Those actions were of the Eidolons who possessed me, NOT mine!” Luna snapped.

“Oooooh, looks like I hit a nerve…Hahahahahaha! But seriously…” Discord smirked as he returned to the subject. “What can you do now? When it took you and your stronger and wiser sister to defeat me with the Elements of Harmony?”

“You’ll just need to see how much times have changed.” Luna said with a determined expression. During this moment, in Canterlot, Celestia’s forces were guarding the citizens in their own homes and keeping them off the streets for there were unicorn and Pegasus soldiers in black armor with green designs crashing everything in their path.

“ENOUGH!” A loud voice shouted out before a light gold beam shot from below to blow up a spot the soldiers ran to and knocked them away, causing them to lose their balance and fall over from the impact. “You clumsy oafs! Get up!” An angry voice commanded with a gruff Australian accent from above.

“Who are you?! I demand you to show yourself!” Celestia snarled. “I’m General Shield Strike, commander of the soldiers that are destroying this city also known as the Red Devil and the strongest warrior in all of Equestria.” A Pegasus stallion with light purple eyes, a dark grey-blue mane, and white coat dressed in the same armor as the other guards, but with a larger black helmet with green designs and a griffon’s feather sticking from one side of the helmet with a light red shield with swords across it as a cutie mark answered with a smirk, landing in front of Celestia.

“YOU’RE a part of this attack on my subjects?!” Celestia demanded. “That is a yes and no and you need to know the basics, Princess Celestia.” General Shield Strike replied in a smug voice as he rubbed his hoof against his armor. “So, you are working with the enemy?” Celestia asked with a stern expression. “Yes, of course.” General Shield Strike answered. “Try to harm my subjects and you will be banished from Equestria with your soldiers FOREVER!!!” Celestia stated in an angry tone.

“Oh, how lovely…” General Shield Strike smirked. “Soldiers, form your ranks!” The soldiers quickly ran over and stood behind their general. “Now prepare, Princess…for you shall face the Red Devil and his soldiers!” General Shield Strike yelled. Soon, Celestia was using her magic to blast some of General Shield Strike’s soldiers or bashed them with her hooves while General Shield Strike yelled at the soldiers who had fallen for being ‘clumsy oafs’ and ordering them to get up and fight. Unknown to the princess, some parts by the guards of Canterlot were disturbed by moving patches of dirt. From under the dirt were none other than some Diamond Dog soldiers digging underground without being spotted or seen. They were being followed by a pony in a purple cape and hat. Back in Ponyville, where things seemed to look peaceful, many took notice something up with the barrier. Suddenly, something hit the barrier which shook the entire village. Many were shocked to see that Celestia’s warning had come true: the new enemy was attacking the barrier with his army. Worst of all was that the citizens were noticing cracks on the barrier’s outer surface.

“EVERYPONY TAKE COVER!!! IT’S THE CIVL PONY WAR AGAIN!!!” Granny Smith yelled while covering herself with pans and pots for some reason. “AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!” Everypony screamed. “Everypony, take cover in your homes!” Shining Armor commanded. BOOM! BOOM! Many ponies looked up and saw the brutal attack on the barrier, seeing that it was about to shatter.

“Oooooh! Look at the display show!” Pinkie pointed out excitedly. “Pinkie Pie, this hardly would be considered a display of showponyship.” Rarity stated with a nervous expression. BAM! Suddenly, without warning, something bashed into the ground from where the Main Six, Spike, and Thor were standing which luckily missed them.

“Eeep! Something got through the barrier!” Fluttershy yelped, backing up from the object. “Wait a second…” Applejack began as she blew out the fire steaming from the object that landed. “I know what this is, it’s a cannonball.”

“They’re bombing us with flaming cannonballs?!” Rainbow demanded. “No, these cannonballs were set on fire by some sort of magic. I can sense it.” Twilight explained as she levitated the cannonball to examine it.

“That is what is destroying the barrier. It is breaking even from your brother’s powerful barrier spell combined with the princesses’ magic!” Thor exclaimed with a shocked expression. “Oh boy, this looks pretty bad…” Spike commented. “Oh, just thinkin’ about those varmints usin’ flamin’ cannonballs for an attack has gone too far!” Applejack growled, not believing that the enemy would attack the town. Back outside of the barrier, Loki was watching the assault go on from the shadows; many of the Flim-Flam Brothers’ flaming cannonballs were damaging the barrier bit by bit.

“Look, we’re hitting them hard!” Spot pointed out. “But it’s still holding!” Fido added. “Then, it is time I speed up the process while Princess Celestia and Princess Luna are kept busy.” Loki smirked. “The hour is finally at my hoof’s grasp…” He aimed his horn at the barrier. “GRAHHHHH!” Loki roared out, firing a spell at the barrier. BOOM! Then, the barrier began to form even more cracks. Shining Armor looked up at the barrier and noticed the damage that’s hit it. The Main Six, Spike, and Thor look up at it as well. The Royal Guards were in position with their weapons ready and hearing the rumbling quake.

“It’s time we deal with these enemies.” Spike muttered as the others nodded in agreement. “RARGH!” Loki growled, finishing his work. From the barrier, it was cracking and shattering apart.

“Yes…it is fading…” He smirked evilly. Twilight was noticing that things weren’t looking so well, so she led her friends from where they were observing the chaos. “Twilight, where are you going?” Rarity asked. “We have to get to the front lines! My brother’s forces can’t hold this alone!” Twilight answered as she ran towards the front.

“Alright, there’s no arguing with her! We need to help out!” Spike told the others. Soon, the group ran past several frightened civilians that were running from the danger. The barrier was fading a bright orange color as it’s shattered remains vanished into the air. Even Trixie lifted her hoof to pick up a tiny remain of the barrier and it vanished completely; the spell was broken.

“It’s down.” She informed the army. “Then, march off and let them know of our arrival!” Loki commanded, waving his right hoof out. Suddenly, Riders of Doom from the Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time trailer began playing as Loki and his remaining forces prepare to march into Ponyville. The barrier was down, so they can go in and ‘introduce’ themselves to the citizens; only Loki chose to stay behind.

“Aren’t you coming?” Rover asked. “I shall catch up…when the moment is right.” Loki answered from the shadows. The other members were unsure about this, but decided that Loki would joined them later. Trixie charged into the town, Gilda flew through the air, Flim and Flam got onto one of their Ballistic Blasters 7000s and rode off, and the Diamond Dogs got out their spears. Loki smiled evilly while watching his army march into Ponyville, knowing that he’ll make his grand entrance soon and make all ponies fear him. At the moment the barrier fell, outside of Ponyville, came a large crowd of figures appearing out of the dust and smoke from the attacks. Many ponies began running away from who was probably coming out to attack them. Slowly, each hidden figure was slowly coming out of the clouds of smoke to which each one made a different reaction to many ponies who recognized the many members of the army. The first figure was a creature that had a lion’s body with wings and an eagle’s head which turned out to be…Gilda.

“No way, GILDA?!” Rainbow gasped with a shocked expression. “Hey, Dash. Still hanging out with your lame friends?” Gilda remarked.

“Hold it! Gilda, the meanie who played awful tricks on us and made Fluttershy cry, is on the enemy’s side?” Pinkie asked in shock. “Ugh, surprise to see that the pink pony is smart enough to figure out I’m on the enemy’s cool club…” Gilda sighed, annoyed that Pinkie knew. “And she doesn’t appear to be the only one whose part of the enemy’s army!” Rarity groaned as she saw the three dogs she and Spike had encountered a long time ago: The Diamond Dogs.

“Well, if it isn’t the whiny pony who forced us into giving up our gems!” Rover remarked with an annoyed snarl. “She is hard to handle with!” Spot commented, remembering the bad memories of Rarity’s behavior and personality. “And hard to deal with!” Fido added.

“Oh brother…this new enemy got THEM for his army.” Spike growled. “Well, well, well, if it isn’t Twilight Sparkle.” A familiar female voice commented. “Wait, I know that voice…” Twilight commented as she looked around for where it was coming from. Then, the voice’s owner appeared out of the smoke.

“The Great and Powerful Trixie has arrived!” She announced. It was none other than Trixie as she walked towards the others. “Oh boy, out of all the members of the enemy’s army, he added the show off…” Rainbow grumbled, facehoofing herself.

“Now, I wanna know which one of ya’ll were harmin’ this town!” Applejack snapped. “Well, look who it is, dear brother, it’s Applejack.” Flim’s voice was heard saying from a cloud of smoke. “ I remember her, where’s the rest of her family?” Flam’s voice asked. Then, coming out of the smoke, was a large cannon that Flim and Flam were riding on which was shocking to the ponies.

“Eeek! W-What is that?!” Fluttershy squeaked in fear. “Our latest invention, The Ballistic Blasters 7000, it has flaming cannon balls as ammo and we load them in and aim it…” Flim began. “Then, we fire it at the barrier until it’s down.” Flam finished proudly.

“Oh, it wasn’t enough of you fellas wanted to take our farm and Apple business! But now you’ve been firin’ flamin’ cannonballs at ponies?! That’s crossin’ the line!” Applejack shouted. “So? This is just business!” Flim and Flam retorted.

“Is there anypony else in this army? They must show themselves!” Thor declared angrily, levitating his hammer while looking around for anypony else to appear. “Let’s just say, there’s more of us than you’re figuring out.” Gilda said to him. “Yes, this is not all of us.” Spot agreed. “Right, there’s two more of us!” Fido nodded. “And one of them is our new leader that we Diamond Dogs are following for an award.” Rover smirked as he rubbed his paws together.

“Two more enemies?” Sweetie Belle repeated. “Who are they?” Apple Bloom and Scootaloo asked at the same time.

“They are currently dealing with your princesses right now.” Trixie smirked. This made some of the ponies gasp in shock. “You WILL tell us who you all are working for and you will surrender to Princess Celestia’s Royal Guards! As captain, I will not let you harm this town!” Shining Armor commanded.

“Ah, Captain Shining…as protective of your kingdom as ever, I see.” An evil voice hissed. Then, as if things couldn’t get any worse, they just did. Soon, a dark green flash of light appeared in front of the army and the citizens of Ponyville. The ponies flinched when a shadowy figure appeared from the flash of dark green light which vanished which freaked out the citizens. Judging from this character that stood in front of the army, it was clearly the leader of the army; the new enemy. It was Loki and it seemed that Shining Armor was gritting his teeth angrily while Thor’s eyes widened in shock since he heard the evil voice anywhere. Even the background music stopped. But what was almost scary, was that even with his face and body hidden, his voice delivered a painful memory to one certain unicorn. “AHHHH!” Twilight screamed. Thor stared in horror while he still levitated the hammer, unable to speak to the figure since he knew the figure’s voice anywhere.

“Spike, go take the girls and hide!” Twilight commanded to Spike. “Why?” The Cutie Mark Crusaders asked. “But, Twilight! I wanna help!” Spike whined. “NOW!” Twilight growled angrily. “Um…ok! Come on, girls!” Spike yelped, dragging the Cutie Mark Crusaders into a nearby bush. Everypony stared at Spike who was soon in the bush with Apple Bloom, Scootaloo, and Sweetie Belle, then turned to their attention to Loki with fearful expressions.

“Citizens of Ponyville!” Loki announced. “I give you my greetings as you have no doubt met my army.” The army gave the ponies evil smirks. This caused all of the ponies to gulp and move back nervously. “I am Loki of Ponyheim and I am burdened with glorious purpose. As you can see, I am also the leader of this army behind me. My reason for behind here is clear and simple. I want the Elements of Harmony! And also, to kill a group of certain heroes…they are none other than Twilight Sparkle, Applejack, Rainbow Dash, Rarity, Fluttershy, Pinkie Pie, and Spike. Even my brother, if he is here.” Loki continued as he scanned the area for his brother. This caused even more ponies to gasp in hearing this demanding threat. The one who seemed pretty ticked off about this was Shining Armor who wanted to attack the villain so badly if he harmed his sister and her friends.

“Give into these demands and your lives shall be spared. If you resist…” Loki continued. “You shall be CRUSHED!” He pounded his hoof on a twig on the ground, causing it to snap in half. This caused the crowd to scream in horror at the thought of Loki crushing them like what he did to the twig.

“Now see here, Mr. ‘High and Mighty’, ya can’t just go on threatenin’ everypony!” Applejack yelled, shoving through the crowd. “Oh my, she sure is brave to stand up to Loki like that, right, brother?” Flim asked. “More like a foolish decision.” Flam answered.

“I assume you are Applejack, one of Twilight Sparkle’s friends?” Loki asked with a smirk. “I am and it’s the honest truth!” Applejack answered proudly.

“Hmm, you are truly honest…I can see why the Elements picked you.” Loki mused. Suddenly, without warning, he fired a spell from his horn which sent Applejack flying. “GAH!” Applejack screamed until she smacked into a tree.

“Applejack!” Apple Bloom cried out as she ran out of the bush and ran were Granny Smith and Big Macintosh were. “NO!” Spike shouted. “Now, don’t do nothin’ foolish here, younglin’! “ Granny Smith scolded.

“Big Mac, help me settle ‘er down before she goes hoofin’ off like a crazy pony hero…um, Big Mac?” “Eenope!” Big Macintosh declared, charging through the crowd with the expression of an angry bull. “Oh boy…” Granny Smith groaned as she facehoofed herself and tried to keep Apple Bloom under control. “Ugh…” Applejack yelped.

“Applejack!” Rarity exclaimed, running to her with Rainbow, Fluttershy, and Pinkie while Twilight glared at Loki and Thor remained in shock. “Are you alright?” Fluttershy asked Applejack nervously. “Speak to us! Say something! ANYTHING!!!” Pinkie shouted as she shook the cow pony. “Ugh, I ain’t deaf, ya’ll!” Applejack groaned.

“Interesting…more of Twilight Sparkle’s friends: Rarity, Fluttershy, Rainbow Dash, and Pinkie Pie.” Loki remarked in an amused tone. “You looking to pick a fight? Then, we’ll fight!” Rainbow yelled, holding her front hoofs out. “Rainbow, don’t be a hothead to go out there without thinkin’ first.” Applejack warned.

“If nopony shall move…” Loki began, but then he noticed Big Macintosh charging towards him. He shrugged and pointed his horn towards the angry stallion. “Oh no ya don’t!” Big Macintosh exclaimed. Loki then moved out of the way the Earth Pony was charging at him.

“All guards, aim your horns and spears and fire at will!” Shining Armor commanded. “Isn’t his name Loki and not Will?” Pinkie asked. “It’s a figure of speech, Pinkie Pie.” Rarity explained. “FIRE!!!” Shining Armor screamed. The guards pointed their horns and spears at the target before…POW! POW! WHOOSH! POW! POW! POW! WHOOSH! WHOOSH!

“Hahahahahaha, foal’s play…” Loki smirked as the spells bounced off of him harmlessly and flipped over the spears while landing on all fours. “Well, that’s something don’t see every day…” Spike commented. The attacks were still going on, but neither of the spells or spears seemed to hit Loki until he vanished.

“Cease attacking!” Shining Armor commanded when Loki teleported away. “Did we get him?” Rainbow asked. “I think we did…what a relief.” Rarity answered with a sigh.

“Um, I hate to ruin the moment, but why aren’t they upset?” Fluttershy asked nervously, having everypony’s focus turned to the army. They showed no emotion after Loki had defeated Applejack, but as of now, they were…smiling evilly. “Fluttershy’s right. Normally, I would be pretty upset in having a friend vanish, but they seem fine with it.” Pinkie agreed. “I don’t know, but somethin’ ain’t right. It’s like they see their leader gettin’ hit with spells and spears seemed like nothin’ to ‘em.” Applejack nodded as she got up and noticed the army’s expressions. Suddenly, as Twilight watched from her spot in the crowd, she didn’t notice that a dark green magic aura that appeared out of nowhere began dragging her up.

“AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!” Twilight screamed, being dragged through the air at a fast rate. “TWILIGHT!” The other members of the Main Six, Spike, the Cutie Mark Crusaders, Shining Armor, and even Thor who had broken out of his shock shouted as they ran after their friend. “AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! AHHHHHHHHHHH! GAH!” Twilight yelped before the invisible force tossed her into the middle of Town Square. Then, without warning, the flash of dark green light appeared again and the shadow figure being Loki stood behind the podium.

“What now, Captain?” A random Royal Guard asked. “Lock onto Loki, but don’t fire until I say so! We might hit my sister in the crossfire!” Shining Armor answered. “That was most surprising, citizens…” Loki chuckled evilly, turning to Big Macintosh. “I see that you have a very strong fighter in your village. You’ve earned my attention, what is his name?”

“His name’s Big Macintosh, ya bad villain!” Apple Bloom snapped. “Yeah! And he’ll beat you up if you harm Applejack!” Scootaloo yelled. “And throw you around like a rag doll!” Sweetie Belle added. “Now, girls, please stop before ya’ll make things worse.” Granny Smith said.

“I shall remember that name…Big Macintosh, what a perfect name for a strong simple minded stallion who works on a farm.” Loki smirked, rubbing his hoof across his chest. “Hey, don’t say that about Big Macintosh!” Derpy shouted from the crowd.

“Interesting, you also have a cross eyed Pegasus as well. I must say…this town has a marvelous population of ponies.” Loki taunted. “You are all showing resistance and we cannot have that now, can we? Let me choose an example.” Loki’s eyes motioned to the center of the square where Twilight was standing. With a wicked expression, he pointed his horn in Twilight’s direction.

“AHHH!” Twilight gasped as she saw Loki’s horn pointed at her. “Loki, if you even DARE try to hurt my sister, I swear I’m gonna…” Shining Armor growled. “Fascinating, the captain of the Royal Guards stands up for his sister, the Princess’s student.” Loki remarked.

“HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!” The army laughed behind him. “If you kill Twilight, then you’ll have to get through me!” Shining Armor threatened. “And you better include me!” Rainbow declared. “And me.” Applejack nodded. “Me too!” Pinkie added. “And me.” Rarity said. “And me!” Fluttershy exclaimed. “And me.” Spike added. “Eeyup!” Big Macintosh agreed. “And me too!” Derpy added. “AND US!” The crowd yelled. “You ponies get overly protective when a friend is in danger, but that only shows that you are fools!” Loki snarled angrily. “Oh, shut up!” Spike yelled.

“Well, well, a dragon. I have never seen one before…You must be Spike, yes?”

“Yeah, you better think twice when you mess with me!” Spike growled as he balled his claws up into fists.

“Hmm, it seems that you all are big on muscles, but short on brains.” Loki commented darkly. Big Macintosh grunted and charged to save Twilight, but Loki fired a spell from his horn, sending Big Macintosh flying. The villain smirked and stated, “That may have worked before, but it no longer does. But perhaps, with the demand of the Elements is still needed of time, I may rethink killing you, Twilight Sparkle, for something else!”

“Ugh…and what would that be?” Twilight asked, standing up and glaring at him. “Tell me the whereabouts of the God of Thunder in this village!” Loki demanded angrily. That demand made Twilight freeze in fear.

“I-I don’t know what you’re talking about.” She stammered. “What God of Thunder?” Pinkie asked Loki as if she was playing dumb. “Do not toy with me, you two! I know all about the peach colored alicorn stallion with blue eyes and a blonde mane levitating a hammer right now is standing among you ponies!” Loki snapped.

“I recently came across a green dragon who told me he had seen this alicorn!” The mention of the green dragon flashed in Twilight’s memory. Loki must’ve met the dragon after Spike ran away when he thought he was being replaced by Twilight’s pet owl.

“Why the hay would that dragon creep tell him that? I thought that after the Ice Pony War, Odin and Princess Celestia cut off all connections with dragons, even though Princess Celestia found Spike’s egg?” Rainbow asked in shock. “Apparently, this brute has kept that grudge of his.” Rarity answered with a groan. “Believe me, I have my ways. NOW TALK!” He growled, turning back to Twilight.

“WHERE IS THE GOD OF THUNDER?!” “I’ll never tell you!” Twilight yelled with a stern expression. “Then, you shall suffer a slow and painful demise…” Loki snarled in a slow hissing voice as if he were the Grim Reaper, coming to end a life. Just as time seemed to slow down with Loki aiming his horn right at Twilight, many of Twilight’s friends were trying not to move, but it might not make it until…”NOOOOOOOOOOOO!” An angry voice shouted that broke the silence. BAM! Then, in an instant, a silver hammer with a dark brown handle came out so fast that Loki didn’t even notice it.

“GRAHH!” Loki shouted, ducking the hammer. Many of the ponies gasped in shock while seeing what happened, but not as much as who entered the scene. While Twilight got helped up by her friends, Spike, Derpy, and Big Macintosh, Shining Armor had his troops block off the army to prevent them to try to help their leader. As Loki recovered from the surprise attack, the smoke cleared to show that in between him and Twilight was the pony he was looking for…Thor. And boy did the alicorn look angry at Loki for what he was trying to do with his new friend.

“Listen, you villain, I do not know what you are planning to do despite that you sound familiar, but I demand for you to leave my new friends ALONE!” Thor pointed out. “Thor!” Rarity gasped in shock. “Boy, that fella sure is brave!” Applejack commented. “Yeah, did you see how he threw his hammer at Loki without him even noticing?!” Pinkie exclaimed with a smile.

“He saved Twilight. He’s very brave!” Fluttershy smiled. “Eh, I could’ve done better, but I’ll give him some credit.” Rainbow shrugged. “Thor…” Twilight muttered in surprise. Soon, time seemed to have frozen again when Loki growled in annoyance at seeing his appearance.

“Looks like Loki’s getting annoyed. That doesn’t really surprise me. It’s like they know each other and have been enemies for life.” Spike commented. Thor levitated his hammer up and demanded angrily, “I know that you are an evil villain trying to harm my new friends, but don’t you, a citizen of Ponyheim, know who I am?”

“Yes, you shall bear witness to who I AM as well.” Loki smirked as he walked out of the shadows. “AHHHHHHHHHHHH!” Everypony screamed.

“Whoa, I don’t know whether to be scared or shocked!” Spike gasped. The camera showed the villain who had the features of a pony. He was an alicorn stallion standing a bit above Thor’s height with emerald green eyes, a neck length and slightly choppy jet black mane, and a light gray coat with a gold scepter with silver blades as a cutie mark wearing a black and gold collar with a green cape attached with a gold shoulder pad on one side and black and gold sleeves with gold arm guards on them. This pony, this was Loki, the God of Lies and Mischief. Thor gasped and levitated his hammer onto the ground while approaching the vile enemy. He slowly then grasped Loki’s entire body into…a hug.

“Ugh! Make it stop!” Spike shouted. “Um, is it just my imagination, or is Thor hugging Loki?” Derpy asked. “Eeyup, he is!” Big Macintosh answered. As you can imagine, this scene was pretty awkward to all of the ponies.

“Brother!” Thor yelled happily. “Get off of me!” Loki retorted angrily. He angrily pushed Thor away and looked in the opposite direction. “Brother?!” The crowd repeated in shock. “THIS IS YOUR BROTHER?! FOR REAL?!” Twilight and her friends demanded.

“Awkward…” Spike mused. Many ponies and even the villains were chatting up a storm while some chose not to make remarks about this, one to two certain fillies who were not like the others.

“Ugh, like, I can’t believe this!” Diamond Tiara scoffed with an annoyed expression. “What is it, Diamond Tiara?” Silver Spoon asked. “That everypony was scared of an alicorn who is Thor’s brother!” Diamond Tiara groaned. “Well, the only thing I can tell that they’re related is that they’re both Alicorns.” Silver Spoon pointed out. BOOM! Then again, that could be wrong, especially when a spell was fired and blew up a portion of the place the fillies were standing.

“AHHHHHHHHHH!” The two snotty fillies screamed while hugging each other in fright, seeing that Loki was pointing his horn in their direction. “A lesson for you two to learn: Looks are deceiving. And lastly, never backtalk to a being more powerful than you unless you have the intelligence to stay…ALIVE!” Loki snarled. Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon ducked behind Filthy Rich with frightened expressions.

“Whoa, for Thor’s brother, he’s pretty creepy!” Scootaloo responded. “Well, they did make him angry.” Sweetie Belle pointed out. “But why’s Thor’s brother doin’ this?” Apple Bloom asked. “Well, young ones, we don’t know.” Granny Smith answered. Soon, Loki turned his attention back to the crowd and yelled, “To all you ponies, listen hear and now! Your deaths shall be a slow and painful process!”

“AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!” The ponies screamed in horror. Loki yelped as he dodged a green fireball that went over him. He glared at Spike who remarked, “Where did you get that quote; ‘Villains for Jerks’?” “I shall deal with you all another time. My army, we will fall back!” Loki commanded.

“Wait, as in retreating?” Gilda asked. “Why leave when winning?” Fido questioned as he rubbed his head in confusion. “Yes, why leave now?” Spot added. “Diamond Dogs want answers!” Rover snarled. “Because we have made our terms clear in whom we are and that there is nothing that can stand in our way…” Loki replied with an evil smile.

“We are announcing their doom, so that they can have a moment to live out their lives before…the end comes!” “Well, it seems that our situation of business is over.” Flim shrugged. “It seems there’s no reason to stay at all.” Flam added. “Yes, we have a few things prepared, right, Trixie?” Loki asked the blue unicorn. “Of course, Loki.” Trixie nodded. “You’re not going anywhere! I have the place completely sealed off!” Shining Armor shouted, gesturing to the Royal Guards blocking every entrance.

“Then, we shall use the interesting way…magic.” Loki smirked with a sly expression as his horn glowed and made something happen. Suddenly, the army began vanishing in different portals. Flim and Flam vanished with their machine in a yellow portal, Gilda flew through a brown portal, the Diamond Dogs went through a grey portal, and Trixie vanished by using a smoke screen and not a portal.

“Captain, they’ve vanished!” A guard yelled in shock. “Grr…” Shining Armor growled in annoyance. “Hahahahahaha!” Loki laughed evilly.

“Loki!” A voice shouted in which Loki turned to see…Thor in shock and anger by his actions. “Thor, wait! Don’t go near him!” Twilight protested.

“Twilight, he is my brother. I must convince him to stop these horrible actions.” Thor said. “Why, this is highly surprising that you left Ponyheim…Still, you want to defend this kingdom that is not your own.” Loki commented.

“Our father would have thanked us, if you were not evil.” Thor sighed. “YOUR father.” Loki corrected with an irritated expression. “Thor, tell us the truth. Are you and Loki really brothers?” Rainbow demanded. “He’s adopted.” Thor answered honestly.

“Loki!” Shining Armor yelled to the villain. “Ah, Captain Shining…” Loki smirked. “We shall meet again…in time.” Soon afterward, Loki vanished in a flash of dark green light, leaving a trace of nothing behind. Many citizens were afraid of Loki returning to kill them all. Shining Armor saw this and sighed, knowing that he’ll have to keep the ponies under control.

“So, what are we gonna do about that army and their boss?” Spike asked. At this time, things were happening during the Luna vs. Discord battle: there were oddly shaped objects colliding with the clouds. Right now, Luna was on a single cloud while glaring at Discord who was too busy creating chaos.

“Well, Princess Luna, I’m impressed and I’m hardly ever impressed.” Discord commented. “You dodged my blue flying Barracudas, my feathered Serpents, and my flying Cats that sound like screeching chalkboards. BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA!” “I’m not through yet, Discord.” Luna snapped.

“Well, if that’s the full extension of your power, wonder how much chaotic it would be if you became Nightmare Moon again.” Discord smirked. “I’d rather die than become that horrible being of darkness again!” Luna yelled. “Very well, have it your way.” Discord shrugged as he snapped his talons and summoned a large magical sphere that could destroy Luna and all of Cloudsdale.

“PREPARE TO MEET YOUR—“BEEP! BEEP! BEEP! “Oh, hold on a sec, I got a call!” He said, summoning a telephone and talking to the muffled voices on the other end. “Uh-huh, uh-huh, yeah, oh really? I see…very well then!”

Discord made the phone vanish and turned to Luna as he replied, “Well, it looks like our playtime has expired.” The Draconequus pulled out a pocket watch out of nowhere and dropped it, not caring where it was going to land. “What game are you playing?!” Luna demanded.

“No game, I just have to be going, that’s all.” Discord answered. “Until we meet again, Princess Luna! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!” He waved goodbye as he flew off through a red portal that had appeared in one of the clouds and vanished, leaving the skies in peace.

“There’s something different about Discord ever since Twilight and her friends had managed to defeat him. He seems stronger than before. Could it be that the God of Lies and Mischief had something to do with it?” Luna asked herself. Now, the scene showed destruction in Canterlot’s streets as the battle between Celestia and General Shield Strike continued. A lot of General Shield Strike’s soldiers were attempting to get up on their commander’s orders after being called clumsy oafs multiple times. Right now, both competitors were staring down, not making a move until the other did first.

“ARGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGH!” General Shield Strike bellowed, making the first move and charging to attack the Princess. “RAAAAAAAAAAGGGGGGH!” Celestia snarled as she charged for General Shield Strike with her front hooves out. CLASH! Both ponies clashed their hooves out which caused a shockwave that pushed them back.

“My, my, that was some shockwave I caused …” General Shield Strike smirked with a smug yet sarcastic expression. “Save your flattery for later, Red Devil. I’ve already knocked out half of your soldiers that you call ‘clumsy oafs’, you’re alone.” Celestia growled in annoyance.

“You think this was just an extension of my power, please!” General Shield Strike scoffed. “True, my soldiers tend to be clumsy when defeated by their enemies, but HE had made us his all-powerful army!” “Explain yourself, was the being that made you and your soldiers his all-powerful army called…” Celestia began, but was cut off. Suddenly, the soldiers were lined up behind General Shield Strike in their ranks which caught Celestia off guard.

“Seems that we’ll have to finish this battle another time.” General Shield Strike shrugged with a sly smile. “Oh, do you think it’s polite to leave your opponent after a battle?” Celestia asked angrily. “No, but you’re the only exception, princess. My leader needs me.” General Shield Strike answered with a wicked expression. “And besides, you might want to check on your sister and subjects.”

“What?! Red Devil, stop! What do you—“Celestia began to demand. “Soldiers, move out!” General Shield Strike commanded to his soldiers as a dark blue portal appeared in front of him. “Yes, sir!” The soldiers responded. They marched through the portal, leaving Celestia alone and standing in the carnage of the streets.

“That was a Portal Spell, the most powerful form of teleporting magic.” She muttered to herself. “I must find Luna and see if she and my subjects are alright!” Celestia flew off and left Canterlot, not knowing the destruction that was happening underground. Back in Ponyville, after Loki had vanished, things were still a little crazy after he had left. The Main Six, except for Twilight, were helping out in settling the citizens of Ponyville down. Pinkie was trying to cheer up the ponies and bring their smiles back. Fluttershy was trying to help out any wounded ponies that were injured during the invasion. Rarity was selling some clothes she made to cheer up the civilians with something stylish that matched their personalities. Applejack and Rainbow were using their strength put together to carry medical supplies to Ponyville’s hospital. Apple Bloom, Scootaloo, and Sweetie Belle were helping Granny Smith and the Cakes pass some treats to cheer up the ponies. Shining Armor and his guards were patrolling the area in case another attack happened. At this time, near Twilight were Spike, Derpy, Big Macintosh, and Thor.

“Twilight, are you going to be alright?” Thor asked, worried about his new friend. “Right, you were a bit freaked out.” Spike said in agreement. “I’ll be fine, really.” Twilight reassured her new friend and assistant.

“But you don’t look so good, Twilight.” Derpy commented. “Eeyup.” Big Macintosh agreed. “Thor, what was that all about earlier? And how does he know our names and all about us?” Twilight asked the alicorn who was staring at the sky with a puzzled yet angered expression. Thor sighed, not wanting to tell Twilight about his past with Loki.

“Gods can read minds of anypony they meet. I just realized that when I came to Ponyville, Loki’s rage followed me there. It’s not only power he desires, it’s vengeance upon me.” He answered sternly. “Awkward?” Spike commented with a concerned expression. However, unannounced to everypony, something was happening at a secret chamber in Canterlot Castle where the Elements of Harmony were being held. The mysterious purple caped pony walked in from a secret tunnel made by some Diamond Dog soldiers who were on the lookout for trouble, but the caped pony came to a room, the same one that had a secret door that only a unicorn could unlock, but it could only be done by Celestia or Luna. However, the mysterious pony pressed her horn into the keyhole and made the secret door open. The flash of light happened to reveal the pony that opened the door…Trixie.

“At last…they’re just as Loki said they would be!” Trixie declared, seeing a dark blue box with important gems around it. “My clone did marvelous to make everypony think that I, The Great and Powerful Trixie, was in Ponyville and not here in Canterlot!” She levitated the box and opened it to reveal the six Elements of Harmony that Twilight and her friends used when all hope was lost.

“They say Princess Celestia could break the powerful spell to protect the chamber, but that doesn’t matter now when you have something just as strong.” Trixie cackled to herself. She levitated a light blue gem the size of a pistachio out from under her hat and muttered, “With this Hologram Gem, I shall tell Loki that my mission is complete! Should I steal it, Loki?” A hologram of the villain appeared out of the surface of the gem and grinned evilly.

“Yes.” He hissed eagerly. “You let me control them!” Trixie nodded and levitated the box and open while the hologram fired a spell at them, causing them to be surrounded by a dark green mist briefly before it vanished.

“You have done well, Trixie. Phase Two of my plan is complete!” Loki’s hologram smirked. “Then that means that Phase One of distracting our enemies went off without a problem to complete this next step.” Trixie mused.

“Now, return to me and seal up the tunnel, so the princesses do not see about what happened. I want it all to be a surprise.” The hologram commanded. “At once, Loki!” Trixie nodded before using her magic to reseal the tunnel to make it look like nothing happened.

“Soon, the time will be near.” Loki’s hologram began with an evil smile. “The day when ponies shall meet their end by our army! BWAHAHAHAHAHA!” Then, the hologram vanished back into the gem and Trixie levitated it back under her hat as she covered the trail and followed the Diamond Dog soldiers out of the castle.
