Ch. 1: At My New Beginning
Atop of the rebuilt Castle of the Two Sisters, a gargoyle with bat wings, brown and tan fur, and pointy tail is sitting on the tower overlooking Ponyville, remember the kindness of the Ponies.
"Guess you're wondering why a gargoyle would be out looking at Ponyville at night," he says in a narrative voice over, "It's because one special pony helped me and my fellow Knights of Tambelon and reminded us why we are heroes. I am Scorpan, Hero of Equestria, newly appointed leader of the Knights of Tambelon, and Brother of Tirek. To tell this story, I must start at the beginning of my new beginning. It all started on a normal day in Ponyville. After the defeat of my brother at the hands…er…hooves of Princess Twilight and her friends, Ponyville is getting ready for a victory celebration in honor of Twilight's heroism…"
Some Pegasi are hanging a banner up saying "Friendship Celebration." Pinky Pie is blowing some balloons with the Cutie Mark Crusaders and using her cannon to set up some decorations. Fluttershy is practicing with her songbird chorus. As usual, Applejack and her family are bucking apples needed for the feast. Rarity is busy making the gowns that the six are going to wear. Each gown is patterned after the Rainbowfied Mane 6. Twilight and Spike are going over the checklist in the throne room.
"Food, check," Spike says as he checks off the list, "Dresses, check. Decorations, check. Music, check."
Then, Twilight comes in from the other hall.
"How's everything going, Spike?" Twilight checks.
"Everything is going well, Twilight," Spike replies, "Your victory celebration is coming along nicely."
"Is a victory celebration for me necessary? It took all six of us to defeat Tirek."
"Don't be so modest, Twilight. You've earned this celebration because it's your magic that always pulls through when there's trouble. Besides, this celebration is for all of us."
"I'm glad, Spike. Have you seen Rainbow Dash?"
"She said something about checking out some weird weather pattern."
Back in Cloudsdale, Rainbow Dash is checking the weather station after getting word of a strange weather anomaly along with her friend and leader of the Wonder Bolts Spitfire.
"Find anything on this anomaly the other Wonder Bolts witnessed?" Rainbow Dash impatiently asks.
"Nothing yet," the scientist weather Pegasus said.
Suddenly, the radar started to beep. The beeping got louder and louder until an alarm is sounded, startling Spitfire and Rainbow Dash.
"What's happening?!" Spitfire cries in panic.
"It's a storm unlike any I've ever seen," the scientist said, "It's not one of the rainstorms we create."
"Where is it heading?" Rainbow Dash demands an answer.
"It's seems to be heading toward one direction: Southwest toward the Shadow Mountains."
Rainbow Dash and Spitfire gasp.
"Ponyville is in that direction!" Rainbow Dash fearfully states.
"You go warn every pony while I gather as many Wonder Bolts as possible!" Spitfire says as they both fly in different directions.
