Chapter 1- An unwelcome return
it was just another peaceful day in equestria, and you wouldn't expect anything
was wrong. However, in an alternate dimension, known in twilights books as
"The Slip" a young Alicorn, called Prince Firestorm. Bided his time
for his eventual return. "Two and a half thousand years, it'll be good to
come home" he said, patiently waiting, for the portal to finally open.
"Um twilight?" Spike murmured, nauseously. "Let me guess,
letter? Twilight asked, obviously knowing what it was, the only time spike was
nauseous was when there was a letter. As he belched it out, twilight slowly
read it, it wasn't anything to do with the latest friendship report, or
anything she presumed, it was regarding "The Slip". Upon reading it
through and through, she grabbed Rarity, Applejack, Rainbow Dash, Fluttershy
and Pinkie Pie and took the next carriage to canterlot
"So Twi, you gonna tell us what the 'hay is goin' on?" Applejack
asked impatiently. "It's about the prison dimension, The Slip, and the
latest inmate is being released, and Celestia wants our consent on his release,
because she's having her doubts" Twilight informed them, and rightfully
so, She'd kept them in the dark long enough.
As the six friends entered the throne room, they were greeted by a very
flustered Princess Celestia. They bowed their heads and rose and the questions
began, she finally spoke. "My older brother, Prince Firestorm, has done
his time in The Slip, and now he is allowed to return" always with a tone
of concern about her. "So why do you need our opinion?" Rainbow Dash
shouted abruptly, "He threatened to destroy equestria last time, so I
sealed him away for a 2500 year sentence." rainbow sunk down, regretting
snapping at her. Suddenly, a portal opened up to the slip, and an image of
Prince Firestorm appeared through it. "Peace be with you your
highness" Twilight bowed, timidly. "My sentence is over sister; let
me through, 2500 years does make you relatively bored." Firestorm said,
with a slight temper about him. "Well girls? Do you think he should
return?" Celestia asked. " I suppose" They all said, as a
glowing burst of light appeared, and dispersed with flames, all bowed their
heads, even Celestia, He was her superior. Firestorm had a black coat and red
mane, his flank mark was a skull with flaming rods behind it. His presence
alone unsettled the ponies
"Good, you let me out, and about time too" Firestorm growled, an
obvious temper about him. "I thought you were at peace brother?"
Celestia asked, she began to sweat. "Definitely not, in fact, for sealing
me away, you can say goodbye to your beloved capital!" Firestorm said
menacingly. As his horn began glowing, brighter and brighter, the six ponies
began to panic, as did Celestia. The six ponies began running out of the royal
castle, but Firestorm imprisoned Celestia before she could escape, forcing the
ponies to leave their beloved monarch, and run for their lives.
As the ponies ran through canterlot and into the countryside, they saw what
they thought was a Pegasus flying out of canterlot and closing in on them, this
pony was flying at such a speed, they head a loud boom, and they saw a big
burst. The ponies screamed, and the supposed Pegasus slammed down in front of
them. "Turn around" he said, in a deep voice. The ponies turned, as a
massive burst of fire engulfed canterlot. Explosions were going off in chains,
everypony was screaming, and these were like daggers through the six's hearts,
rainbow dash was in awe, rarity turned her head away, applejack bowed her head,
covering her eyes with her hat, pinkie and flutter broke down in tears, and
twilight silently wept.
"I'm so sorry for your loss, I'm sorry I didn't get through the portal fast
enough" the young hooded stallion said. "Your not Prince Firestorm
are you?" twilight said, struggling to hold back the tears. He flipped his
hood back, it was Prince Firestorm, he looked less opulent than before, His
coat was now a blazing red, and had a jet black mane, and it was obvious this
wasn't the firestorm that just destroyed canterlot. "Huh? You just
destroyed canterlot! How can you be here?" Rarity screamed. "That was
my evil counterpart, Lord Blazing Diablo, I was at peace in the slip, but all that
fury had to go somewhere, so I created a counterpart, he then took over the
slip, and now he's back. We need to stop him" Firestorm explained, Rarity
suddenly calmed down. "Look we need to get to somewhere safe, how about
ponyville?" Rainbow added, hoping it'd be approved by the blazing red
Alicorn, "is it a small town?" Firestorm asked, intent on these young
mares, dead set on keeping these ponies alive, they were his only hope. After
no further discussion, he followed the ponies to ponyville.
