Flash-back "Cm'on Specs! Come 'n get me!" A young Princess Luna, who was zooming along the air, calling to her cousin "Loony! You're Cheating! You know as well as I do that I can't fly yet! Wait u-" Luna was out of sight. Spectrum sighed, shaking her shimmering mane. "Luna... where are yo-" She was cut off by a menecing ominus laugh. "Loon, is that you?" "Mwa ha ha, no it is'nt little princess, Mwa ha ha." "EEEK!" Screamed Spectrum, turning and running away, as fast as she could. "EEK SOMEP-ARGH!" Spectrum was cut off as she slipped and tumbled into a ditch. She wimpered and looked up. A shadowy figure was looming toward her. "Mwa ha ha ha ha. You're all mine little princess. ALL MINE! MWA HA HA HA HA!" "HELP!"
A few years ahead of us Spectrum was huddled in a tiny cell. Her captor had hardley let her see the light or even move in the 1200 years she had been there. She was a fully grown Alicorn by now. She still had her cutie mark, but Spectrum, the perky, kind, funny, smart and beautiful little Alicorn was gone. Her coat was greyish brown and her mane was too, but scruffy and darker. The only part of her you could see through the 12 centurys worth of dirt and scum was 2 lines on her cheaks. Where the tears fell. She hadnt spoke in years. She cried each and every day over the horrible misfortune and the life she had lost all those years ago. Her captor had told her some of the happenings. Like Luna being banished to the moon, Cadence, Celestia. The ponys she loved. The life she missed...
"Ahh!" she wimpered as she awoke to a large boom. Her cube cell tumbled and shaked. "Woo!" "We did it!" Spectrum heard voices. Her bronze eyes grew wide. "We really beat him huh!" "Well Koviuan is never going to hurt anypony again!". Koviuan. So she finally knew the identity of her captor. "Lets check around in here." Spectrum froze. "Hello? Is anypony there?" Spectrum seized her chance. "Help!" she croaked. After 2 centurys of not using it, your voice sure changes."Help me!" "Dash... could you go find whoever that is... I mean if you don't mind..." "Sure Flutters!" who are they she thought "Help" she called again. Then the box was pulled open. In the gloom, she could see 7 ponies in front of her. Her rescuers.
