In a kingdom that is as black as a black pudding stood a castle. It was this castle that was home to the most evil monster in the history of the planet: Nightmare.
Nightmare had the body of a dragon, razor-sharp claws the size of a house, and jagged rock-shaped teeth that were so sharp they could pierce 100 people, eyes the size of the balloon on a hot-air balloon, and the eyes were as red as blood.
Nightmare had come to this kingdom a long time ago; the kingdom never got the chance to be named before Nightmare came in on foot-the feet were the same as the claws-and destroyed the place with his fire powers.
Nightmare not only had the power of the four Earth Elements: Earth, Fire, Air and Water, but can also control Ice.
Nightmare wore a crown that has long since lost its shiny, golden touch.
"Soon, I will take over the three Major Kingdoms: Hawaii, Equestria, and Enchancia, and then the world. HAHAAAAAA!" Nightmare roared with laughter at his plan to take over the world.
Meanwhile at the Space Headquarters of the Galactic Alliance Federation, the Grand Councilwoman had just finished one meeting and was going to another.
She wore a long black dress with matching shoes and trousers.
She entered a room and found a tanned woman wearing a shiny tiara with a red dress and matching shoes. With her were a white Alicorn (part Unicorn, part Pegasus) with multi-colored flowing hair and a sun tattoo on her hindquarters, a dark blue Alicorn with flowing black hair and a moon crescent tattoo on her hindquarters and a pink Alicorn with multi-colored hair and a turquoise heart tattoo on her hindquarters.
"Princess Elena of Avalor. Princesses Celestia, Luna and Cadence of Equestria. Thank you so much for coming on such short notice," the Grand Councilwoman greeted them.
"What's wrong, Grand Councilwoman?" Princess Elena of Avalor (the kingdom she runs is called Avalor. Ironic isn't it?) asked.
"I fear that Nightmare's return could happen any day now. They need to be ready," the Grand Councilwoman said with a grimace on her turquoise face.
"But they are NOT ready," Princess Luna said.
"My sister is right. They're not ready to face Nightmare. If they fight him now, they could die," Princess Celestia replied.
"I know but I'm afraid we have no other choice. It's time to tell them all about Nightmare and The Plan," the Grand Councilwoman said.
"Princesses Celestia, Luna, and Cadence. May I suggest some more help, like Trixie, Discord, Sunset Shimmer, Starlight Glimmer, Spike and Shining Armor?" the Grand Councilwoman said.
"I suppose Shining Armor's parents can watch Flurry Heart while we tackle with this monster," Princess Cadence replied.
They all agreed.
The time had come for the truth to come out.
