Prologue

BANG! The body dropped to the floor motionless. The man slowly walked up to the body, his long black hair and crimson red cape flapping in the wind and his golden armour on his left hand shining in the sunlight. He looked down at the body and just stared at it for a few seconds before turning around and walking away. He put his tri-barrel pistol back in its holster and continued to walk. The man stopped in the middle of a destroyed street and waited. Moments later a whirring noise was heard from behind him; a fleet of VTOLs (Vertical Take Off and Landing) in a v shaped formation came overhead and landed in front of the man. The lead VTOL’s sliding door opened and a girl with short light brown hair came out.

She had a stern but quiet voice.

Is it done? She asked.

The man replied with a deep voice. Yes…

They both got onto the VTOL and took off. About ten minutes into the journey the VTOLs were flying over a forest when they heard a loud explosion. The co-pilot of the lead VTOL spoke.

Uhh what’s that? He said.

The pilot turned to see one of the VTOLs on fire and crashing into the trees below. He then took hold of a comms device and began to talk into it.

Attack formation! Don’t let these bastards take us down!

The attack formation was only met with more VTOL explosions. Then a incredibly loud explosion was heard. Guys we’re going down. The man’s eyes widened, he grabbed the girl, ripped open the door and jumped out just before they hit the ground. About an hour later the man was woken up by the girl gently pushing his shoulder. Hey wake up, the girl said. They were by the crashed VTOL. He got up and looked around then talked.

Do you know where we are?

She looked at a little PDA she was holding then back up at the man.

From what I can tell we are in the White Forest.

She was about to finish when a crackle from a radio on the crashed VTOL interrupted them.

Hey… can… hear me?

They both ran right to the wreckage and the girl picked up the radio.

Yes we can hear you she said.

Good… go to… warehouse near the edge of… White Forest… we will pick you up there… as we can. The radio went silent.

The man began to speak. Is there a warehouse nearby?

The girl replied. Yes there is one; it was abandoned three years ago.

He spoke again. Good let’s get moving.

The two made their way through the forest narrowly avoiding the attackers and eventually made it to the warehouse only to find that the main entrance was locked.

The girl turned to the man and started to talk.

Can you find a way in?

He looked at her and spoke.

I’ll see what I can do.

The man proceeded to look around the perimeter of the warehouse. He stopped when he saw a rather large hole in the building. He took a few steps back and then ran at the wall and jumped while doing a front flip through the hole and landed safely on the other side. It took him about five minutes to find the main door’s control panel. It made a noise signalling that it is working and the door slowly opened. The girl walked in and looked around and something caught her eye. It was a stone tablet with an image of 5 gemstones around a larger gemstone and under that was some sort of writing.

The man came over and looked at the stone. He put his hand on it and a bolt of electricity shot straight into him causing him to utter one word “Harmony”

At that moment an explosion destroyed a large chunk of the warehouse and soldiers poured through

The man quickly pulled out his gun and dispatched a few of them; but there were too many of them. He ushered the girl behind him and they slowly backed into a wall keeping his gun at the ready.

The soldiers were raising their rifles to kill the man. He noticed a small speck in the distance which turned into a lot of specks and those specks turned into missiles and they were exploding on the soldiers. A short while after whirring noises were heard and around 20 airships came from the horizon heading directly at the warehouse; they kept firing missiles at the mass of soldiers. The airships were circling the building still firing upon them when a misfire caused a missile to head straight for the man; before he had a chance to react darkness overcame him.

(Meanwhile in the Everfree Forest)

Remind me why we going to Zecora’s place again Twilight?

I need to get some ingredients for a spell I’m working on.

What exactly will this spell do?

Well Spike it will… hey look over there!

The young dragon turned in the direction Twilight was looking and saw a creature on the ground in a clearing.

Twilight rushed over to it with Spike in tow.

What is that thing Twilight?

I don’t know Spike but it is injured. She could tell by the deep gashes on its face and the blood on parts of its clothing.

Let’s bring it to Zecora’s maybe she knows what it is.

Twilight carefully lifted the creature with her magic and continued on to Zecora’s home.

***I am not good with rhymes so I will have Zecora talk normally***

Zecora was balancing on a bamboo pole when someone knocked on the door. She got of the pole and went to the door to open it.

Hello Twilight what do you need?

Twilight showed Zecora the creature and she let them in.

So Zecora can you do anything to help this creature?

I am not sure Twilight I have never seen this creature before why don’t you try a healing spell on it?

She nodded and her horn started to glow a faint light blue which sent out a beam of energy to the injured parts of the creature and healed them.

It worked! Twilight said in an upbeat tone.

Very good Twilight now let it rest I will let you know tomorrow if anything changes.

Ok see you tomorrow Zecora bye.

She shut the door and began to mix up a potion.

(The Next Day)

Twilight woke up and went downstairs. Spike was preparing breakfast when he noticed her and smiled.

Morning Twilight!

Good morning Spike sleep well? She said

Sure did; are we gonna see the creature today?

We have to wait until we get a letter from Zecora.

At that moment there was a knock at the door.

Ah that must be the letter. She walked up to the door and on the other side was a derp eyed mail mare.

Uhh Twilight Sparkle?

Yes that’s me.

I got a letter for you. The mail mare passed the letter to Twilight.

Thank you.

No problem. The mail mare walked away.

She closed the door and used her magic to open the letter and begun to read: Dearest Twilight. The creature has woken up and it can talk. He says his name is Vincent Valentine; that’s all I know so far. I told him that some friends were coming over to see him. I will see you soon.  Sincerely: Zecora Muguubaana

Well let’s get moving I want to meet this Vincent Valentine; come on Spike.

The dragon followed the Unicorn out of the library and into the Everfree.
