It had been three months since Twilight was crowned Equestria's new ruler. All was going well and some of her allies in the Christian Fleet had come to visit. Gallus had also joined the guard at the royal palace. One evening, Gallus came running into the throne room with a look of panic in his eyes.

"Princess Twilight, a meteor has come out of nowhere and crashed in the center of the Everfree Forest. Fraaz and Colin have put out the fire, and Brandon and Link have broken the meteor apart. They have found something inside and are bringing it here."

Twilight acknowledged what Gallus had told her and Brandon arrived with Link about thirty minutes later. Link was carrying what looked like a compact disc that had no markings on it. Brandon had a playback device.

"Was the disc inside the meteor?", Twilight asked.

Brandon nodded and began explaining what was on it.

"This disc appears to have an audio file on it, but the initial recording is extremely staticky and difficult to make out. Take a listen."

He put the disc in the player and pressed the play button and the speaker started putting out a message that was very fuzzy. However, Twilight was able to hear what sounded like someone speaking.

"Pl---- hel- -s. The we--her h-s my--e-i-us-y t-rn-d -r-m s-n-y to a t-rr--le -hu-d-rs-o-m -it- a -o-d b-ng. -nk-ow- -ir--af-s h-v- al-- f-ow- -y, dr-p-i-g -bj-ct- in-- t-e w-ods t-at h-v- -ta-t-d -ag-n- f--es."

Twilight was puzzled. She could not understand what was being said.

"Here is the message again, only with the static filtered out.", Brandon explained as he put a second disc in.

"Please help us. The weather has mysteriously turned from sunny to a terrible thunderstorm with a loud bang. Unknown aircrafts have also flown by, dropping objects into the woods that have started raging fires."

Twilight was shocked. She remembered that Satan had designed a special bomb that could induce severe weather, and she knew that the war against him was long over. However, she wondered if some of his soldiers had gotten separated and lost contact.

"Any idea where this came from?"

"Good question, Twilight. I have tracked the path of this to a lonely star in deep space. We have tried to study this star several times, but our equipment keeps getting overloaded. Since the capsule that the disc was in came from this spot, I am led to believe that the star is actually a hidden wormhole. Star coordinates are X: 22, Y: 19, Z: 57. If this is a wormhole, we are about to discover where it leads.", Link explained.

Twilight sent word to her friends and to Flurry Heart to meet at the launchpad for the space station where the Harmony was docked. She then informed Cadence that she was being called out for a mission and that she needed her to take her place until she got back.

As the countdown started, Link and his crew mates were beamed back up to the Lemurian Star. Once the Harmony was ready to fly, both ships warped to the strange star and began examining it further. After a long time, Link's calculations finally proved that this star really was a wormhole. Determined to find out what was going on, both crews entered the wormhole and were pulled through a stream of flying colors in crazy designs until they found themselves in the sky above a dense forest. They started dropping heat shields to contain the fires and then landed to find who sent the call for help.
