Hello! Just a quick word from me :) This is my first story, and I'm including several OC's from my friends. But mostly the story consists of the mane six or villains or other known ponies from the show. Please don't hate :( I will take constructive criticism though, I love that. It makes everything better XD Anyways enjoy the story!

NOTE: I do NOT own anything except the OCs. All things related to the MLP:FiM is property of Lauren Faust and Hasbro.

Chapter 1

Basement

Everything was a fairly regular day in Ponyville, just as you would imagine it. AJ selling things at a stand, Rarity delivering an order, Pinkie eating some cake at sugarcube corner. Just imagine not a cloud in the sky- Rainbow Dash's doing- and Fluttershy guiding some ducks back to their nest. It was simply perfect; Well it all went downhill from there.

"Twilight, please. You've studied enough!" Spike pestered. They were sitting at the cafe next to the "Sophas & Quills" shop.

"Spike, please. This is extremely important- I'm working on my new 'Equestrian History' section. Which is more important than nearly anything- Since I'm taking on the role of princess, I have to have prime knowledge of all of this!"

"Okay, okay. All I needed was a simple 'yes' or 'no'." Spike leaned back in his chair with a sigh. About to close his eyes, he saw in the distance something like a meteorite. But it was a glowing green color. His eyes shot open in amusement.

"T-T-Twi..." he stuttered, seeing as it was getting closer. She rolled her eyes and looked up from her book titled "Bygone Equestria". She followed Spike's finger to the glowing green object. Her eyes widened, fascinated. But as she saw it was just seconds away, she snapped out of the trance. Hopping out of her chair, she ran towards all the other ponies.

"Everypony! Run! Run! Get in your basements!" She observed very little in her split second of time to get up, but everything she saw stuck. Crying children, Fluttershy's wing closing shut, making her fall to the ground. Ponies of all colors, races, and sizes bolting for cover. The sky darkened, going black and the small amount of light that there was highlighted the clouds. More green objects became visible through the grey, beige colored clouds, only making everypony panic more.

Twilight used her magic to pick up Spike as they ran to take cover at Sugarcube Corner. She knew it had a basement, which would be the safest place for everypony. Bolting to the entrance, she stopped and turned to the chaotic town's square. "Everypony! In here! It'll be safe!" A stampede of about seven ponies shoved into the sweets shop, adding to the stressed Mr. and Mrs. Cake and their crying children. Twilight soon followed, hearing the worried sounds of all of the ponies.

Everypony, please calm down. Make your way into the basement." The pony's murmurs quieted down with Twilight's reassurance. Spike hopped down and followed all of the others. She turned and looked out the door to see Changelings catapulting towards Ponyville. "T-t-they're back?!" Her face turned from calm and collected to worried and chaotic, reflecting the rest of the environment. She looked at all the ponies shuffling into the basement, realising that any one of them could be fakes.

Finally closing the door and following through into the basement, she lit a candle (a few, for that matter) then closed the door, not needing the light anymore. She sighed, then turned to see who was there.

Spike was there, of course. Then there was Mr. and Mrs. Cake, and their two children. That made five. Then, there was Lyra, Ms. Cherilee, Carrot Top, Featherlane, Octavia, Vinyl, and... Fluttershy! Twilight didn't see her come in, but it was good to have a friend in there.

"Fluttershy!" Twilight shoved through the crowd to greet her.

"Hi Twilight" Fluttershy stated in her trademark shy, high-pitched voice.

"Oh my, Fluttershy! What happened to your wing?" Twi said, worried.

"Oh, well... I hurt it when I fell" she said, blushing, embarrassed.

"Here, let me find something for you. That needs to be patched up!" Twilight saw a shelf near the back with a few boxes, helping herself to it's contents. Opening a few, most of them held sprinkles and fondant. Which wasn't a surprise, since these boxes did belong to the Cakes. Digging in a few more, she found a plastic box on the inside of one of the cardboard ones. By dumb luck, it happened to have a big red plus on it. "Perfect!" Twilight exclaimed. She pulled it out and opened it to find that it had everything. Medicine, band-aids, and...bandages! She pulled them out and trotted back over to Fluttershy.

"Here. Some bandages should help with hurting it more." She unrolled the cloth then re-wrapped it around Fluttershy's torso, letting her broken wing get wrapped and leaving her other one open to breathe. Twilight stepped back and smiled. Fluttershy then returned the gesture, turning and walking off.

Twilight made the decision to go outside just to check if anything got worse. Then, she assumed that it would be the right thing to do to go check and see that all the other ponies were safe. "Spike?" Twilight spoke out into the basement. He pushed his way up to the front, meeting Twilight. "Yeah Twi?" "Spike, I need you to remember that invisibility spell." "Oh, sure twi". Spike recited the instructions, and as he did so Twilight tried it out. After a pink burst from her horn, there was nothing. "Did it work?" "Good job twilight! What did you need it for anyways?" "Spike, I'm sorry. I can't tell you- But I need you to keep an eye on everybody here, alright?" "Um, sure... But be careful, ok?" Twilight smiled, knowing that Spike couldn't see, then responded, "I will."

She bolted out the door from the basement, then out of the colorful one near the front. Looking out on ponyville, her heart sank. The buildings were torn up, some carts were on fire, and there wasn't any pony outside. There were changelings marauding through the streets, and the sky was black as night. "But... It was the middle of the day when we went into the basement!" She looked up to see a large blue mist in the air... "Nightmare Moon!"

Not only were the changelings back, but nightmare moon too? But if that's nightmare moon, then it also must be luna! Why would she do this? She was perfectly fine and respected! Twilight didn't understand any of this. Then, out of nowhere, a pink cloud hurricane breezed into view with brown droplets pouring down where there should be rain. "No... Him too? What is this? Some kind of ponyclypse? It couldn't have been possible. All these people were gone for good! She darted to the library to see if she could gather information, along the way checking inside the houses. She didn't see anybody, which could be good or bad.

She approached the library and opened the door, to find that all her other friends had gathered. Sorrow painted onto their faces, looking down at the ground. Twilight knew that the spell would wear off soon, but she needed to not alarm them. They were in a circle around a part of the library. Twilight, remembering her wings and knowing she knew how to control them, flew up over the ponies. Looking down, she let out a gasp as a tear trickled down her face.

"G-G-G-Girls?" she sobbed. Looking down, she sobbed as she saw the torn up, burnt bodies of the Crusaders. Bows torn, manes burnt, bloody hides ratted with dirt and holes. Twilight dropped to the ground and began to sob even harder. The invisible spell died off, leaving her visible to her friends. This was not right. Fillies being murdered? What else could happen? This was war.

Twilight's face went serious as she wiped the tears from her face. She turned to see the four unaware ponies. "Girls, this is war. Things like this cannot happen. It's mutiny, disharmony... We need to stop this." The four turned to face her, following the same actions of wiping their tears and letting their face turn serious. They nodded in agreement. "Where's fluttershy?" Rainbow Dash asked. "In the basement at sugarcube corner. Along with eleven others." Pinkie nodded and walked to the big horse statue in the center of the library. She pressed it's eye, and the horses jaw dropped open to form a secret entrance. "Pinkie... What is this?!" Rarity questioned, her mascara dripping and hair very ratted and un neat. "I have hidden passages all over ponyville that lead to Sugarcube Corner. In case of an emergency," she replied in her famous Pinkie-Pie tone. They filed in through the wooden horse mouth, into a dark torch-lit passage with many other paths. They followed down until they saw a staircase and walked up to it's entrance. They opened the trap door to find that they were behind the counter at Sugarcube. They all walked around to the basement door and walked down the short amount of steps. Twilight lit her horn for light, and in dismay her face dropped to sorrowful once more.

Dead. All the ponies that were down there were dead! Vinyl, Carrot top, Mr. and Mrs. cake, their children... Fluttershy stood, blood-caked and alive behind all the dead bodies. An evil grin on her face. "Well hello, dear" she said in an extremely familiar tone. A flash of green, so blinding that the others had to cover their eyes, emitted from the false Fluttershy. When they looked back, they saw a sight they never wanted to see again.

Chrysalis.
