Twilight Sparkle breathed a sigh of relief; she'd dealt with deadly falls, enraged baby monsters, spooky trees, sobbing serpents and Shadowbolts...but she and her new friends had made it past them all and now they were here! the castle of the two sisters! The elements of Harmony were in sight! Soon Nightmare Moon would be defeated! And Equestria would be-

Twilight went deathly pale... "No, it shouldn't be...that was just a nightmare!"

"2...3...4... There's only 5, where's the sixth?" Asks Pinkie... When Twilight didn't respond, they turn to her, "Uh, yo! Egghead! Pinkie asked you-

"SHH! Do you hear that?" Said Twilight, listening intently.

The girls frowned at this...but obliged...

"Huh...is there a...clock somewhere?" Asked Rarity confused, not really seeing how a clock of all things could've survived in these ruins...

Twilight had gone pale...it was all coming back to her...

...many years ago...

A filly named Twilight yawned as she set aside her book on Starswirls theorem of independent magick's, it was so late..and she was soooo sleepy...maybe one more book?

She turns to the fireplace...and gazes at the crackling, sizzling blaze...how hypnotic it looks...and a hairless monkey on the other side?!

"Epp!" Yelped Twilight.

"Sorry! Didn't mean to startle you! Can...can you understand me?" asked the boy who must've only been in his early teens at most.

Twilight nodded, "Yes, I understand you...why are you in my fire place?" She asked confused.

Before he can say anything- "TYRONE! GET OVER HERE! NOW!" Shouts a voice behind him, "Yes uncle Ford! I'll be right there!" He turns to her, "Okay, just one second- Sorry, what's your name?"

"Twilight, Twilight Sparkle!" She exclaimed quickly.

"Right, Twilight! I'll be back in a sec!"

The 'boy' named Tyrone came back...but not in a sec...

...

Twilight shook her head. Reminisce later, act now! "Okay, new plan: Grab the elements and run! NOW!"

This startled the other 5 mares, "Wha- Twilight what's-

"My, my. Leaving so soon?"

Five of the six looked over in fright at the appearing Nightmare Moon. "Thank you for saving me the trouble of finding the elements, I-

"GO AWAY! We have more important things to deal with now!" Shouts Twilight dismissively as she doesn't even bother to turn around wile she gathers the elements up herself.

This flat out dumbfounded everyone! Especially Nightmare Moon... "I...I beg your pardon!?" She shouts out baffled over this Mares dismissive attitude toward her. "I am Nightmare Moon! Ruler of nightmares and bringer of eternal night! What possible force on the planet could be 'bigger' then-

ZAP!

And there they were...

...many years ago...

Twilight yawned in her bed content and fast asleep her room quite safe for the ticking of her family clock-

Rumble!

Twilight woke up with a start, she looked over to her fireplace and saw it swinging open to reveal...the fireplace boy!

"Oh, hello! Don't worry! It's me! We were just talking an hour ago!"

Twilight looked at him confused, her mind still half-asleep. "Wha? But Mr. Tyrone...that was weeks ago! Months even!" She exclaimed confused.

Tyrone frowned, "What but it was just- And then he sees the clock, the face smashed in.

"Okay, that's scary." Said Tyrone unnerved. "You're scared of a broken clock?" Asked Twilight confused.

Tyrone nodded, "Just a bit scared, yeah. Just a little tiny bit. Because, you see, if this clock's broken, and it's the only clock in the room, then what's that?"

Twilight eyes widen in both realization and fear, her mind suddenly VERY awake. "Couldn't...couldn't it be just another clock?" She asked desperately. Before Tyrone could answer-

"Wait, no...it can't be a clock. You can tell by the resonance. Too big. Six feet, I'd say... The size of a man!" She exclaimed terrified.

Tyrone nodded, "Yes, your smart girl Twilight." He slowly makes his way to the side of her bed, pulling out a strange device while still talking. "...Just...just stay calm, I promise." He puts a finger to his mouth and gestures to her bed while still talking, Twilight nods in understanding. "Whatever it wants, I won't let it Take YOU!"

He shouts as he pulls the covers away from the side and points an odd looking device under it, Twilight hears a noise behind her...and sees a nightmare!

...

And there those nightmare's where...three clockwork killers, dressed in ancient finery and twisted masquerade masks...two of them just teleported to Nightmare Moon's side.

The ancient villain snarled in surprise, "Who are you!? What is this- Ignoring her, the two on her sides grab her and teleport her away.

The third and final one stares at Twilight, it's piercing glare sending chills throughout her body...just like it did when she was a filly...

After what felt like an eternity..."As anticipated...you are not yet complete..." The creature said in a cold, calculating, mechanical manner. "But you will be soon." With that chilling address given...he too vanishes as mysteriously as he appears...

...for a moment...all was silent...

"Okay...What the buck just happened?" Asked a confused Rainbow.

"Did we...win?" Asked a confused Rarity.

"I...guess so?" Said an equally confused Applejack uncertain.

Twilight just shook her head, "No, this is only the beginning."

Rumble!

Twilight turns- "TYRONE!" She exclaims happily.

"Twilight, I'm sorry. I don't have much time! Theses guys are preparing one final assault a couple months from now...There doing something with the portals...I'm not sure I'll be able to help you this time...here, take this! Point the long slender end at them!"

He throws her a strange device, she catches it with her magic.

"Stay alive Twilight! No matter what happens, I will find you!" He promises as the runs back just as the portal starts to close once more...

"I know you will..." Thinks Twilight confidently.

Again, silence returns...

"Seriously, what the Buck just happened!?" Exclaimed Rainbow again...

FLASH!

A joyful Princess Celestia appears in a flash of light.

"Twilight Sparkle! I knew you could- Wait, what's going on here? Where's my sister? Wait, why haven't the elements activated? And what's twilight doing over there?

The Mane six look back and forth between their new friend 'practicing' with the strange device to blow up a nearby tree...the burnt remains of the spot where nightmare Moon vanished...the still inert elements...the place where the hairless ape boy had appeared...and their sovereign leader.

"Yeah...were gonna have to get back to you on that your highness..."
