Twas an ordinary, sunny day in Ponyville. Every resident was doing their everyday stuff, such as Doctor Whoof trying to show Pokey how to operate a time machine out on a meadow.
"Hey watch it butterhooves!", said Doctor after Pokey accidently let one of the machine's electric cords loose.
"Sorry", Pokey replied back, "You know its my first time working with this kind of stuff"

Suddenly, the two noticed a bolt of fire shoot at the ground 3 feet away from them. The flaming bolt seemed to come out of nowhere, but from the large rocky hills in the distance.
"This l-l-looks like t-trouble Doc!", Pokey stammered with fear.
"I suggest we warn everypony back in town about this", said Doc.

As soon as the two had galloped all the way back to town, they tried to tell all the other citizens about a random bolt of fire coming from the rocky hills but nopony was paying attention (due to them mostly thinking that Doc and Pokey were crazy as hay).
That's when more fiery bolts came shooting out of nowhere and pretty soon, all the citizens were in panic.
Out of the enormous flames emerged the real reason for all this flaming madness. It was the lead trio of the Diamond Dogs, the three most intelligent members of the species that had captured Rarity before. They had somehow become two times bigger than their original size, had blackish-grayish-reddish armor on their bodies, longer fangs, longer claws, slightly deeper voices than before and were carrying flamethrower-like weapons.
"No living thing will get hurt!", said the small and annoying one, "except all Ponies!"
"Give us something you need to live!", said the big and tough one, "It coursed within us all"
"That would be something rather extreme", said the lead sinister one, "We have come for Pony blood!"
