Cherry Jubilee was walking through the cherry trees looking over her cherries. She suddenly heard a large explosion and raced to Dodge Junction. Upon arriving, she found Dodge Junction in ruins.

"What happened?" asked Cherry Jubilee horrified.

A lavender unicorn stepped forward.

"I'm the one you want to talk to." answered Twilight sinister.

In Appaloosa, the ponies where going about their daily lives. Braeburn was hearing cattle when a large explosion was heard nearby. The ponies gathered and more explosions where heard. The Sheriff and a posse raced off while Braeburn stayed to helped defend the town. A few minutes later, Little Strongheart raced into Appaloosa.

"We're under attack! They struck so fast! They got my father!" cried Strongheart.

"Who?" asked Braeburn.

A lavender unicorn stepped forward.

"Me." answered Twilight.

"It can't be." said Braeburn horrified.

Twilight shot Braeburn with her magic.

"It is." said Twilight.

Sombra's Army charged out and descended on Appaloosa.

"I think it's time to return to Ponyville." mused Twilight.

The Mane 6, Spike, Sunset and Trixie returned to the palace. They met with the with the royals to discuss and returned to Ponyille the next morning. Celestia had a letter written and sent to Mayor Mare. Upon returning, the group went to town hall where a meeting was being held. All of the ponies in town where there. They walked in and took their places before the ponies. Trixie hid behind the others while ponies began whispering about the new yellow unicorn.

"AJ, I think you should start." said Rainbow.

The farmer nodded and turned her attention to the ponies.

"Hello everpony, we want t catch y'all up to dates on what's happening." began Applejack.

The ponies muttered to themselves.

"Twilight Sparkle has allied herself with Sombra and is leading his army." said Applejack.

The ponies gasped at this revelation.

"It's true. Fluttershy and I saw her during the attack on Cloudsdale." said Rainbow.

Fluttershy nodded her confirmation.

"She injured me in Manehattan." added Rarity.

The townsponies talked among themselves.

"It is not her fault. She has fallen pray to dark magic." said Applejack.

"That's right. Sombra has brainwashed Twilight." added Fluttershy.

The townsponies shared uncertain murmurs.

"I can confirm this. The way she acted in Manehattan was...not like the Twilight Sparkle we know." said Trixie.

"What's she doing her?!" asked Carrot Top accusingly.

The ponies began to get rowdy remembering Trixie's previous appearances in their town

"She saved my life. If Trixie hadn't hit Twilight when she did, I would not be here." answered rarity

Rarity looked over and saw her worried little sister getting reassurance from Apple Bloom and Scootaloo.

"Its okay Sweetie Bell. Sunset Shimmer healed me with her magic." said Rarity.

Sunset Shimmer stepped forward.

"My name is Sunset Shimmer. I was a former student of Princess Celestia until I turned my back on her. I allied with Sombra, but defected when I could not stand the atrocities he and Twilight where committing." explained Sunset.

The ponies where clearly skeptical about this.

"She's serious! She healed Trixie and Rarity right before us! Even Princess Celestia and Princess Luna support her!" declared Pinkie.

The ponies seemed more supportive.

"Right now, we need to band together. Sombra's forces are overtaking Equestria." said Sunset.

The ponies whispered to each other.

"But, the Equestrian Army has the situation under control." shrugged Berry Punch.

"Sombra's Army is stronger than you think." warned Bulk Biceps.

"They've already routed the Equestrian Army every time they've met." added Sunset.

"What about the Wonderbolts?" asked Derpy.

"Spitfire, Soarin' and Fleetfoot have been captured." answered Sunset.

The ponies gasped and became highly worried.

"Please stay calm!" called Rarity.

The ponies did not respond still talking among themselves in fear.

"Oh brother." sighed Rainbow.

Pinkie Pie thought for a moment and pulled a megaphone out of thin air.

"How did she...?" asked Rainbow.

"It's Pinkie Pie. Don't question it." answered Applejack stone face.

"Calm down!" exclaimed Pinkie.

The ponies stopped and returned their attention to the ponies and baby dragon.

"Thanks." replied Pinkie.

Suddenly, an explosion rocked the town hall. Lyra and Bon Bon ran and threw open the doors to see what's wrong.

"It's a series of explosions. They look like unicorn magic." said Lyra.

"They're coming from south. It looks like rocks are being thrown." added Bon Bon.

Pinkie let out a horrified gasp.

"The Rock Farm!" cried Pinkie.

Pinkie ran out of the town hall and took off. She raced as fast as she could praying her family where okay. Pinkie felt no pain or exhaustion as she raced to the rock farm. Upon arriving, Pinkie saw the farm she grew up in ruins with large holes in the ground and damaged buildings. To her relief, her family where alive and battling the Sombra forces.

"Mom! Dad! Maud! Marble! Limestone!" exclaimed Pinkie.

The rest of the Pie family where stunned to see Pinkie.

"Pinkamena Diane Pie!" exclaimed Cloudy Quartz.

"What are you doing here?" asked Igneous Rock.

"I'm here to help." answered Pinkie.

The Pie family suddenly heard a menacing cackle.

"What a lovely sentiment! Now you can all die together as a family!" laughed Twilight.

"Twilight. Please don't do this!" begged Pinkie.

Twilight fired a blast of magic barely missing Pinkie.

"You know her?" asked Marble surprised.

"She's a friend." answered Pinkie.

"You're friend is trying to kill us!" snapped Limestone.

"We need to focus." warned Maud.

The Pie family, minus Pinkie, continued in bucking large rocks toward the Sombra forces.

"Wait! I can reason with her!" exclaimed Pinkie.

Twilight suddenly fired a powerful beam of magic knocking out Igneous Rock and Cloudy Quartz.

"Mom! Dad!" cried Pinkie.

The Sombra forces charged like a swarm of locust overtaking a field of crops.

"We need to go." said Maud.

"But, we can't leave mom and dad." replied Pinkie worried.

"We'll fight them off. You go" said Limestone.

Marble gulped and nodded her support for this plan.

Before Pinkie could protest further, Maud grabbed her sister and they ran.

"Come on bastards!" cried Limestone.

"We'll make a final stand here." said Marble, building up her courage.

The Sombra forces would quickly dog pile the sister overwhelming them.

"Two to go." said Twilight.

Twilight used her magic to teleport ahead cutting off Pinkie and Maud.

"You aren't going anywhere." said Twilight.

Maud reached into her pocket and handed Boulder to Pinkie.

"Go to Ponyville. Take care of Boulder." said Maud.

"Maud." gasped Pinkie.

Maud charged and tackled Twilight while Pinkie ran by.

"You'll pay for that." said Twilight.

Twilight used Blood Manipulation Spell on Maud...

"Maud." sobbed Pinkie.

Pinkie looked back and saw Twilight torturing Maud.

"I will help you. All of you." vowed Pinkie depressed.

Pinkie raced back to Ponyville. Tears streaked down her eyes the entire way as she feared what where happening to her family. She shook her head desperately trying to shake these negative thoughts out of her head. She quickly returned to Ponyville and made her way to town hall. Pinkie burst inside where the townsponies where waiting.

"Pinkie!" exclaimed Spike.

"They got my family!" sobbed Pinkie.

The ponies all gasped at this.

"What happened?" asked Applejack.

"Sombra's Army attacked the Rock Farm." answered Pinkie.

Pinkie needed a moment.

"My family where fighting them off, but Sombra' Army over whelmed them." concluded Pinkie.

Rainbow flew over and wrapped a foreleg aorud Pinkie.

"It's okay Pinkie. They'll be okay." said Rainbow.

"How in Equestria did they get her so fast?" asked Rarity.

"They must have overrun Dodge City and Appaloosa." answered Sunset.

Applejack felt her heart skip at beat at this.

"Braeburn." said Applejack horrified.

"Who?" asked Trixie.

"Her cousin." answered Fluttershy.

"He lives in Appaloosa." added Spike.

"Excuse me. But, doesn't that mean they're coming here?" asked Carrot Top.

The other ponies became extremely worried.

"We need to runaway!" exclaimed Berry Punch.

"Maybe they'll spare us if we surrender." proposed Colgate.

"Don't be ridiculous!" exclaimed Amethyst Star.

"The answer we can see. We shall seek refuge in the Everfree." said Zecora.

The others all agreed.

"Let's go!" cried Berry Punch.

The ponies all raced out of the town hall, but found Sombra's Army in Ponyville.

"Going somewhere?" asked Twilight, with a menacing grin.

"What happened to Braeburn?!" asked Applejack angrily.

"I took care of him. He's on his way to the Crystal Empire." answered Twilight.

Twilight looked at the terrified crowd.

"Is this how you treat me upon my glorious return to this shithole?" asked Twilight.

Twilight noticed Trixie and Sunset.

"Excellent. I can kill you two as well." said Twilight.

Twilight built a large and quickly growing ball of magic from her horn. It exploded in a flash.

"Run!" cried Rainbow.

"Wait! It's just an illusion!" cried Trixie.

It was no use the ponies panicked and ran in different directions.

"We have to get them to the Everfree!" called Sunset.

Davenport was running like a chicken with his head cut off. He was suddenly tackled and subdued by Sombra Earth ponies.

"There's one." said Twilight.

"No!" exclaimed Shoeshine.

Shoeshine ran over to help Davenport, but a pair of Sombra unicorns subdued her.

"Make that two." mused Twilight.

Cranky and Matilda where backed against a house.

"I'm going to fight them. You run." said Cranky.

"No. I won't leave you." replied Matilda.

"You have to." said Cranky.

Cranky jumped forward and tackled several Sombra Earth Ponies.

"Run!" cried Cranky.

The Sombra fores subdued Cranky as Matilda trotted off.

"Cranky!" cried Matilda.

Matilda turned and ran back toward Cranky.

"No!" cried Cranky.

A Sombra unicorn used his magic to subdue Matilda.

"At least we're together." said Matilda sadly.

Mayor Mare stood at town hall. She watched the rest of the chaos unfold before her. It seemed like she had been forgotten about in the anarchy. However, a trio of Sombra Earth Ponies saw her and charged up.

"I failed Ponyville." said Mayor Mare sadly.

"Give up!" demanded one of the Sombra ponies.

"I do." said Mayor Mare sadly.
