Chapter 1: A Magic Losing Visit
In a nice sunny day in Canterlot City, the birds are singing, the bees are buzzing, and many people are going on with their everyday lives. Of course, the peace and quiet Canterlot City has unexpected magic waiting to happen, and only a group of special friends can stop it and put things right.
In Sugarcube Corner, Sun, the Dazzlings, and Wire Wolf are hanging out together. Twilight and the other girls are busy with their homework, school job, and other activities. Sun and her friends are having some snack and drinks.
"Sure is a nice day to simply hang out together," Sun says.
"I agree. It's nice to simply relax without magic coming to cause problems," Adagio says.
With food in her mouth, Sonata happily says, "I love hanging out together with you guys and some snacks."
"Don't talk with your mouth full Sonata," Aria firmly says.
"She's right Sonata, you can choke," Adagio agrees.
Sonata swallows her food, and says, "Sorry."
"So what you wanna do now?" Wire Wolf asks.
"Yeah. The rest of our friends are busy, our families are out for the day, and we have nothing left to do," Adagio says.
"Yeah. I'm bored out of my mind," Aria agrees.
"At least, we get a break from all the magical problems we've dealt with," Sun says.
"Yeah. Would you rather have a magical monster or someone possessed by Equestria Magic rampaging across town?" Sonata asks.
"We'll at least get some excitement in this town," Aria says, boredly.
Sun then begins to think, "Well, since nothing seems to be happening, why don't we go to Equestria and visit our other friends?"
"You mean Princess Twilight, right?" Wire Wolf asks.
"That's right, we haven't seen her since my birthday party," Sun says.
"Yes. Especially because Princess Twilight's time seems to go on a faster rate than this world," Adagio says.
Sonata smiles, "Still, maybe we can visit Princess Twilight and the others. We can also visit our brother Crescendo while we're there."
"Not a bad idea. I like to see how Crescendo, Moon Shell, and Dark Abyss are doing at the school," Aria agrees.
Wire Wolf asks, "I'm guessing those are friends of yours?"
"They are. Except Crescendo Wave, he's the Dazzlings' little brother. They've been at Princess Twilight's school for some time now," Sun says.
"Still, I'm actually up for a little visit," Adagio agrees.
Then Sun asks Wire Wolf, "Would you like to come to Equestria with us?"
"Hmm… sure. I don't mind a little trip," Wire Wolf answers.
"Great. We'll meet at the Wondercolt Statue at Canterlot High in an hour to grab our things," Sun says.
Everyone nod their heads in reply.
An hour later, Sun and the gang have their backpack full of things they're going to need for their trip.
"Alright, do we have everything we need for our trip?" Sun asks.
"We sure do," the Dazzlings answers.
"Yeah. I got everything we need," Wire Wolf answers.
"Then let's get to Princess Twilight's School of Friendship," Sun says with a smile.
Sun and her four friends walks towards the portat.
Sun holds his hand out to Wire Wolf, "Better hold my hand Wire Wolf, so you won't get thrown here."
Wire Wolf takes Sun's hand and they both walk into the portal together. Adagio, Aria, and Sonata walk through the portal as well.
The five friends begin to swirl through the vortex that will take them to Equestria.
On the other side of the portal in Princess Twilight's castle library, the portal's wires and gears begin to activate as the magic travel through the portal. Then all five end up walking out of the portal.
Sun smiles, and says, "Welcome to Equestria Wire Wolf."
"Hmm, it looks nice," wire Wolf says.
Curious Sonata asks, "Hey Sun, did you already cast a spell turning us into humans?"
"No? Why?" Sun asks, confused.
"Because we're still human," Sonata answers.
Sun and the others look at themselves to see that they're in their human forms. Even Wire Wolf is human.
"That's weird, shouldn't we turned into our true selves and then Sun or Princess Twilight use their magic to change us to humans or us into ponies?" Aria says.
"You know, that is strange," Sun says.
As Sun and the others are trying to think as to why they remain human, they begin to hear talking outside.
"What's going on?" Adagio asks.
"I don't know, but it doesn't sound good," Sun says.
Sun and the others walk out the front of the castle to see the ponies are talking. They seem worried and upset about something.
"Something's wrong," Sun says.
"Yeah. The ponies don't seem very happy," Sonata adds.
Wire Wolf turns his head, and says, "I think I know why."
Sun and the girls turn to where Wire Wolf is looking to see a few unicorns are carrying things with their magic. Suddenly, the magic disappears from around their things and drop to the ground.
Sun and the others gasp in shock.
"Did you see that?!" Sonata exclaim.
"Yes. The unicorn's magic stopped working all of the sudden," Sun says.
"And that's not all. Look over there," Aria adds.
Sun and the others turn their heads and gasp in shock to see the unicorns are struggling to use their magic. They try to use the magic from their horns, but their magic become duds.
"Did you see that or is it just me?" Aria asks, dumbfounded.
"It's like the unicorn's magic are disappearing," Adagio concernedly says.
Sun turns to her friends, and says, "We need to let Princess Twilight know about this."
The five friends then begin to head towards the school.
Aria mutters, "And I was hoping to get away from magical problem, guess it was too good to be true."
At the School of Friendship, everything is very quiet. However, Sun and her friends are arriving at the school in a panic.
Already arriving at the school, Starlight Glimmer, Rainbow Dash, and the students are very worried, scared, and confused about what happened earlier.
Starlight says to Rainbow, "We have to let Twilight know about this."
"I know, the students almost got flatten like hay cakes," Rainbow agrees.
Suddenly, she hears someone calling out, "Starlight! Rainbow!"
Rainbow, Starlight, and the students turn to see Sun, the Dazzlings, and a new face to them arriving.
"Sun? Guys? What are you doing here?" Starlight asks as Sun and the others are at close distance to her and the others.
"We were hoping to visit you guys, but something strange is going on. Something awful," Sun says.
"Unicorns all over Ponyville are starting to lose their magic, and we didn't change into ponies when we came here," Adagio says.
Starlight and Rainbow gasp in shock.
"The same thing just happen at Cloudsdale," Rainbow speaks.
"At Cloudsdale?" Sun questions.
"Rainbow and I were giving the students a tour at Cloudsdale Weather Factory. Suddenly, my magic disappeared and we fell out of the sky," Starlight says.
"That's awful!" Sonata exclaims.
"Are you okay?" Wire Wolf asks.
"We're fine, but my magic is not working," Starlight says.
She then tries to work her magic again, but sparks come out of it and disappears.
"We need to tell Princess Twilight right now," Starlight says.
"Agree," Sun say.
Rainbow turns to the students, and says, "You all get back to the classroom. My class is now a study hall, for now."
The students nod their heads and head back to their classroom.
In her office, Princess Twilight is doing some paperwork and reading letters. Cozy Glow is also in the room to help out whenever she can.
Just then, the door opens, and Starlight, Rainbow, Sun, Wire Wolf, and the Dazzlings run into the room.
"We have an emergency," Starlight says.
Rainbow comes up, and shouts, "The students dropped out of the sky!"
"Slow down, what happened?" Princess Twilight asks.
"I cast a spell for our field trip to Cloudsdale, but my magic just… failed," Starlight says.
"We barely caught everypony in time," Rainbow adds.
Princess Twilight flies to them, and says, "Glad you're all okay, but I'm sure it's nothing to worry about Starlight. Maybe you did your spell wrong."
Starlight makes a slight grouchy face.
Sun comes over, and says, "Hate to burst your bubble Twilight, but it's not just Starlight's magic that has gone out. All the unicorns around Ponyville are losing their magic."
"Many unicorns tried to use their magic, but they can't seem to use them anymore," Adagio adds.
Then Sonata says, "We saw it with our own eyes."
Aria and Wire Wolf nod their heads.
"But… this can't be right," Princess Twilight worriedly says.
She then uses her magic to take a book out from the shelf, but the magic disappears and the book drops to the ground.
"I didn't drop that book," Princess Twilight says, looking stunned.
Starlight rolls her eyes, and says, "Maybe you did your spell wrong?"
"Please guys, we have much bigger worries," Sun says.
"She's right, magic is disappearing from the unicorns," Aria says.
Sun realizes, "And the portal too."
"Huh? The Dazzlings says, confusedly.
"What if the portal is starting to lose it's magic too, and that's why we didn't change forms when we arrive," Sun says.
Suddenly, they hear a thud and someone screams, "Ow!"
The door opens to reveal Fluttershy flying inside and Rarity rubbing her muzzle.
"Rarity ran into the door," Fluttershy says.
After rubbing her muzzle, Rarity shed tears and starts crying, "My magic is gone! I even have to use my hooves to brush my tail!"
Rarity shows her tail is a mess and her brush is in it.
"Talk about a bad hair day," Sonata says.
Sun walks over to Rarity, "I'll help you. I don't need magic to brush my hair in this form."
"Thank you darling," Rarity says, wearing and showing a smile on her face.
Sun is able to brush the hairbrush from Rarity's tail. Then begins to brush the rest of it.
Rainbow turns to Princess Twilight, "Still think there's nothing to worry about?"
"This doesn't make any sense magic can't just disappear. Something has to be causing it" Princess Twilight says.
"Yeah. Magic has to go somewhere, but where? And who?" Sun says, brushing Rarity's tail.
Just then, Cozy asks, "Um didn't we learn something in class about a creature that eats magic?
"Ter… Ti.. Tur… something," Cozy adds, trying to pronounce the words.
Fluttershy gasps to realize, "Tirek!"
"Isn't he locked up in Tartarus," Rainbow replies.
"Tirek? Who's Tirek?" Wire Wolf asks.
Sun says, "Princess Twilight told me about him. He tried to steal Equestrian Magic a long time ago, but Princess Celestia and Luna trapped him in Tartarus. When be broke out, he was close of stealing all the magic in Equestria, but Princess Twilight and her friends banished him back in Tartarus."
"There's no way he could be back," Aria says.
"Or insane enough to try the same stunt," Adagio adds.
Just then, Spike burst in and looks like he is about to choke.
Princess Twilight asks in concern, "Spike, what's wrong?"
Spike is trying to belch something out of his mouth, but is having trouble getting it out.
Wire Wolf comes over and gives Spike a hard smack on the back. He burps and a letter appears from the flames.
Calming down, Spike says, "Thanks. I've never had a letter stuck there before."
He then realizes, "Hey, you must be Wire Wolf."
"That's me," Wire Wolf says.
He then turns to the others, and says, "And Sun and the Dazzlings here too."
"Yes, but it looks like Equestria is in big trouble," Sun says.
"What did the letter say?" Princess Twilight asks.
Spike unrolls the scroll, and begins to read it.
He then become worried, "It's from Princess Celestia. We've all been called to an emergency meeting in Canterlot.
"Look!" Sike adds, presenting the letter to Princess Twilight.
Princess Twilight uses her magic to see the letter, but it fades and the letter drops to the floor.
Princess Twilight calmly says, "Pretty sure, I know what it's about."
"Then we better get to Canterlot and fast," Rainbow says.
The gang nod their heads and leave the office to get to Canterlot for the important meeting. They wonder what is going on, and hope they can stop magic from disappearing.
