"Lyra? Where are you? I wanted to say sorry about yesterday. I should not have left like that." Bon Bon called out

"Helloooo?" Bon Bon

Large footsteps came out of the kitchen.

Bon Bon entered the kitchen. What she saw froze her in place. There stood Lyra, with an open chest and some sort of small creature on her face.

"HRAAALP MHEE! AHHHH!" Lyra screamed

"Lyra! Oh my god, Lyra!" Bon Bon screamed with a scared tone

The creature walked over to Bon Bon and rose its right hoof who was now filled with claws.

Bon Bon screamed at the top of her lungs.

*SLASH*

"W-what is that Princess?" Fluttershy asked scared out of her mind

The chamber they found themselves was very large. It was easily much bigger than the throne room. The whole room looked like it was some sort of cave. At the bottom there were pointy spikes sticking up and at the bottom of them, very murky water. In this water lay a huge pile of bones.

"Those... Are the remains of Nihilanth. A giant very powerful creature. He was destroyed over five thousand years ago." Celestia said

"Why are you showing us this Princess?" Twilight asked with concern

"The man you saw. He is not an ordinary creature. Even i do not know what he is. If he has shown himself, it means that disaster is about to strike. Especially since he uttered the words "Prepare for Unforeseen Consequences"" Celestia said

"But what does it mean?" Twilight asked

"To know the future, means you have to know the past." Celestia said

The elements looked at each other with confusion.

"Five thousand years ago, Equestria didn't look anything like it does today. It was a world between dimensions. The creatures that inhabited Equestria during that time was grotesque and something you'd see in a nightmare. Equestria's name back then was "Xen". This creature below us ruled these creatures without pity. He enslaved them. That was until a man came along. His name was Gordon Freeman. He fought his way through "Xen" and killed Nihilanth to save his world, Earth who Nihilanth attacked."

"After this, Xen was placed in a sort of sleep, and remained like that for over two thousand years. That was until I and my sister found this world. We brought this world out from between the dimensions and made it livable. We populated it with the ponies you see here today, Earth, Pegasi and Unicorn."

"What happened to Earth?" Twilight asked

"We don't know. After Gordon Freeman returned to Earth, it cut all connections to Xen. We only knew what the creatures that occupied this world knew. We managed to extract some knowledge from the bones below us. That made us aware of Earth, Xen and Gordon Freeman. It didn't tell us much else." Celestia said

"So what has this got to do with this man?" Rainbow asked

"He was the one who warned us about Discord the first time, but we ignored his warning. You know what happened next." Celestia answered

"The time before and after you sent us the letter, I have felt strange magic. One which i first felt when we came to this world." Luna finally said after being quiet the entire time

"What does that mean?" Twilight asked

"It means that 'He' is here. But you already know this. As for the reason he is here, I still don't know." Celestia said

"Then what should we do?" Rarity asked

The room gave of a large "Sigh" as the color was pulled from the room.

"Time, Princess Celestia?" A mysterious voice came from nothing.

There he was, walking on nothing towards her. He stopped but a meter away from her.

"Is it really that.... time again? I realize this moment may not be the most convenient for a heart to heart, but i had to wait.. until your - friends - where otherwise occupied. Mhhh.... There was a time when this world's only experience of other life was a crowbar - coming at them down a steel corridor.. When i stopped them from coming.. I acted in the face of - that you was a mere child and of no practical use to anyone... I have learned to ignore such neigh sayers when - quelling them.. hmm? It as out of the question. Still.. I am not one to squander my - Investments - and i remain confident that you are worth far more than the initial - appraisal. Thats why i must - Extract - from you some small repayment - owed, for your own survival. See Twilight safely through this crisis.. Princess Celestia. I wish I could do more than keep an eye on you, but i have agreed to abide to certain - restrictions?"

He walked over to Twilight.  

"Well.. Now.. listen carefully my dear.... when find to your - H-hero.. - relay these words."

"The Others - are coming."

Color returned to the world. Celestia stared straight at Rarity. Her mind jumping from one topic to the other.

"Princess? Have i offended you somehow?" Rarity asked cautiously

"No, of course not" Celestia said, giving her a smile.

"Then what do we have to do?" Rarity repeated her question

"I think that only Twilight can decipher this clue, as he gave it to her. I think she only needed the knowledge I gave you to do so. I'm afraid I can't help you with this." Celestia replied.

"But, how can i do this? I can't possibly understand what his clue means." Twilight said

"I have my utmost faith in you Twilight. With the help of your friends, you will figure this out." Celestia said with a reassuring smile

Twilight smiled back, but wasn't very reassured.

"Sigh......"

Jericho held a teapot in his magic and pured some tee into a cup. He brought the cup to his mouth and took a large sip

"This is some great tee."

His coat was pale gray, with a leather duster on the upper part if his body. A hat was sitting proudly on his head.

He had a short mane, in a military fashion. He tried to take another sip, but the cup was empty. He turned around to refill it only to find out that the teapot also was empty.

"Damn." He said quiet

He was insanely bored. His house was in perfect order, everything was where it was supposed to be.

"Screw it.. I'll just go for a walk."

He trotted over to the door and opened it, looking out into the afternoon sun. He closed the door behind him and started walking down the road, letting his mind wander. He passed several houses. Nothing was out of the ordinary, which he secretly hoped for.

A sudden scream came from one of the buildings. He stopped and looked towards it. It was Lyra's and Bon Bon's house.

He rushed up to the door and slammed it open.

"Is anybody in need of assistance? Hello?"

He walked up the main corridor, towards the stair. When he passed one of the doors, he felt something wet on his hoof. He looked down and saw a large puddle of blood that had poured from under the door.

"This can't be good."
