"It has been three years since Nightmare Moon took over." A pony said. "Now not even the elements of harmony can stop her. Now we live in a eternal night and now it is up to me to stop her. My name is Black Jack. I am 18 years old and when I stop her, this night mare will be over."

Three years before the eternal night.

As he was running form the castle, a pony called his name. "Hey Jack."

Black Jack looked around for who was calling his name. Then he saw who called his name and looked at the pony. "Oh, hey Applebloom." He said weaving his hoof.

"How's the job at Canterlot?" Applebloom asks.

"It's okay with Celestia working me to death." Black Jack says with sarcasm to Applebloom. Appleboom smiled.

"Applebloom! Where are you?" Some pony said, yelling for Applebloom. It was Applejack.

"Over here Applejack!" Black Jack yells from the shop they were now currently in. Applejack walked over to the other ponies and spoke to Applebloom.

"There you are! Now what did I say about bugging Black Jack?" Applejack said, smirking. Black Jack tried not to blush. Applebloom shrugged and started to walk away.

"I am so sorry about that Jack." Applejack said looking at him. He blushed (even though he was doing a great job of keeping his blush down!) when she looked at him. She then smiled that beautiful smile of hers that made his heart leap. He had had a huge crush on her for a while.

"It's okay, but Applejack there's this new restaurant opening. I was wondering if you want to go with me?" Black Jack asked Applejack as she was walking away. I hope she says yes, He thought.

She turned around and smiled again. "That sounds nice." Applejack told Black Jack. "Now wait just a minute. I gotta-"

But before she can finish Applebloom, who was watching nearby, was running to the farm, laughing her head off.

"Come back here Applebloom!" Applejack shouted as she was running after Applebloom. She turned and shouted, "Sorry maybe later! Bye!"

Black Jack snickered. "Haha, those two are so different but so alike." He then went to his shop. He worked as a metal worker. He creates swords and other weapons that the guards use.

That night was when every thing began.

As he worked on a new sword, there was a knock on the door. "Who is it?" He asked, putting down the unfinished sword.

"It's the Canterlot guards." The pony said. Judging by the footsteps outside the door, it sounded like two or three more guards were there.

Black Jack walked over to the door and opened the door.

"What's going on?" Black Jack said, confused. Usually the guards don't come straight to his door.

"You are requested by the princess. You need to come with us." The guard said. He looked like he was maybe a Sergeant.

So the princess needs me. Been a long time since she summoned me. He thought. "Okay." He said.

He walked with the guards to the palace. To tell the truth, Black Jack didn't just work with weapons; he was a part-time servant and protector.

As he walked through the gate leading to the palace, he saw Celestia and another pony with cyan skin and rainbow colored hair waiting for him.

The cyan pony, who looked strangely familiar, said "So you ready to get to work?"

"Who are you?" Black Jack said, then it hit him. He remembered her. "Wait... You're Rainbow Dash."

"Yes I am," Rainbow dash said. "are you ready to get to work?"
