Long ago, King Sombra enslaved the entire Crystal Empire, then Princess Celestia and Princess Luna defeated King Sombra and the Crystal Empire is back to normal for another thousand years. Today, he returns more powerful than before with an army of the citizens of the Crystal Empire.

Celestia and Luna make an urgent call to all ponies of Equestria. All the ponies of Equestria wonder what is happening and they wonder why Celestia and Luna called all the ponies of Equestria. (Celestia's point of view is next) As I spoke to them of what happened, they became and terrified. Luna helped me calm them down, and I called out the Canterlot Guards and Shining Armour. As Shining Armour convinced more and more ponies to fight in this war, I asked Luna to tell the Canterlot Blacksmiths to make and ready the armour, swords, canons, and shields. Applejack, Rainbow Dash, and Twilight volunteered to fight in the war. Many other earthponies, unicorns, and pegasi volunteered as well. (Third Person in the Crystal Empire)
