"During the Royal Wedding, Queen Chrysalis, queen of the changelings and a shapeshifter who appears as Princess Cadance in order to hypnotize her fiancé Shining Armor, invade Canterlot, and eventually take over Equestria. Chrysalis and her subjects was banished from Canterlot. One year later, Changelings began invading Equestria, killing anything on sight. The Royal Guards began evacuating the civilians and fight against the Changelings. The war go on for nine months. Many Royal Guards were killed in battle. The Changelings were getting stronger and smarter. They need help. They need more warriors. Warriors who has better weapons and tactics. They need help from mercenaries."

In a dark and rainy day in Canterlot, a lot of ponies were wait at the train station waiting, mostly mares. They all have black umbrellas over their heads. Soon later, a big train came to the train station. The ponies were surprised that it arrived. When the train stops, the ponies who came out of the train was the soldiers of the Royal Guard. They were all wearing their military uniforms and holding their musket rifles. The guards were coming out of the train. They all return home to their family and came back from battling the Changelings. A lot of them were covered in bandages. A lot of them were shocked and broken like no pony have ever seen before.  After everypony of the Royal Guard came out of the train, some of the guards started bringing out caskets. The joy of return turns to sorrow. Many caskets came out of the train. Which means many of the Royal Guards were killed in the changeling battle. A lot of ponies were in full in tears when the caskets came out…even some of the guards were shedding tears out of there eyes. Few hours later, Shining Armor, Captain of the Royal Guards was walking inside the castle and to the throne room. He’s wearing his royal guard armor which is covered in water (by the rain) and cracks.  In the throne room was the bearers of the Elements of Harmony, Princess Celestia and Luna and his wife, Princess Cadance. Both Cadance and his sister, Princess Twilight Sparkle were shocked to see Shining again. Both of them were in tears.

"SHINING!" Yelled Princess Cadance and Princess Twilight Sparkle.

Both of them ran into Shining Armor and started hugging him.

"Thank goodness you’re alright." Said Princess Cadance to her husband.

"I’m alright, you two…I’m alright." Said Shining Armor.

"Report, Captain." Said Princess Celestia.

Shining went to attention when Princess Celestia and her sister came to him and he began giving them the report.

Shining Armor said "We manage to retake Ponyville…but...we…we’ve lost Appleloosa and Dodge Junction."

Everypony in the room gasped and Applejack was in full of tear but her friend stood by her to comfort her.

"We were hit hard, your highness. I…We lost 2,201 guards."

Celestia was surprised that two towns was taken over by the Changelings. She cursed all of them in her mind and then began to think of what to do.

"Sister…What are we going to do?" Said Princess Luna

"Many of our Royal Guards fought and died bravely." Said Princess Celestia. "How many more do we have to bury? We don’t need any more of our guards getting hurt nor killed. What we need is someone or somepony to stop them. What we need is help."

"By who?" Asked Shining Armor. "The Griffon Army refuses to help and the dragons was invaded and was taken over by the Changelings. We have nothing."

"Well we need to find another nation who can help us…we cannot lose Equestria...no matter what."
