(I'm just going to publish the first chapter with the prolouge. I've already covered the disclaimer, so let's just do this. This is a Twilight's POV chapter.)

Chaper 1: Princess Celestia's Request

I was at home in Ponyville, reading one of my books when Spike ran up to me, holding a scroll. "Twilight! Twilight!" He called. "This is urgent!" I took the scroll from him and read it. As soon as I did, I went pale. "Spike, you have to help me round up the other ponies!" I told him. "You go get Pinky and Applejack and I'll handle everyone else." "I'm on it!" He said. We both ran out the door and went to get everyone else.

When we had everyone, we met up back at the library. "I hope this is important..." Rainbow Dash moaned. "It's from Princess Celestia, darling." Rarity told her. "It has to be important if it's from the Princess herself." I took the letter and started to read it out loud to them.

"Dear Twilight Sparkle,

You and your friends must come to Canterlot at once. A new threat has appeared, and you must bring the Elements of Harmony with you. I'll explain everything once you arrvive.

Sincerely,

Princess Celestia."

Everypony exchanged nervous looks as soon as I finished the letter. I went to the place where I had hidden the Elements and got them out. We all put on our Elements and went to the train station. "We have to be prepared for whatever Princess Celestia is going to ask of us." I told my friends. They all nodded and the train to Canterlot pulled up.

1 Train Ride Later...

We arrived in Canterlot and immediately went to the castle. We went into the throne room, where Celestia was waiting for us. "Twilight. I'm so glad you and your friends came on such short notice." She said, approaching us. We all bowed to her. "I'm also glad you brought your Elements. You're going to need them."

She showed us a new stained glass window showing us, along with two new alicorns, defeating a creature that looked like a unicorn with sharp teeth, two twisted horns in addition to a long sharp one, reptillian eyes with grey pupils, a braided mane and tail and bat wings on her shoulders. "W-what is that thing?" Fluttershy whispered in fear. Celestia looked up at the creature on the window solemnly. "That is Body Taker, the last of a lost race of ponies that became extinct long ago. She has the power to take over anypony's mind, controlling their body and making them her slave. Luna and I defeated her in the Crystal Empire long ago, encasing her in a crystal statue. But she has somehow gotten freed and now it is up to you and the Elements of Harmony to defeat her again." She told us.

Pinky looked at the two alicorns in the picture with us. "Who are these two?" She asked. "Are they going to be our new friends?" Celestia smiled. "They will be. However-" "AWESOME!" Pinky screamed, making us all cover our ears. "I can't wait for us to get more friends! Let's go right now!"

We all galloped for the exit when the same creature in the stained glass window dropped out of nowhere and blocked our path. She was as tall as Celestia and she was much scarier in person. "Body Taker!" Celestia called. Body Taker laughed darkly. "Yes, that's right Celestia!" She said in a voice that sounded like thousands of snakes hissing together. "I am back, and badder than ever!" She flew into the air, her horns glowing dark red.

Two more figures appeared behind her, and I knew them both. Cadence and Shining armor were standing there, their eyes glowing the same shade of red as Body Taker's horns. They stepped in front of her, sheilding her with their bodies. "Your precious friends are under my control!" Body Taker sneered.

"Use the Elements now!" Celestia called to us. "If you use them, their magic will free Cadence and Shining Armor!" I nodded to my friends and we began to focus. I could feel the Element of Magic filling my body, and I could feel it resonating with the other Elements around me.

When I opened my eyes and unleashed he spell, Cadence and Shining Armor were sprawled out on the ground, knocked out cold. Body Taker herself was kneeling in pain, but she quickly stood up and brushed herself off with one wing. "An impressive attempt," She stated. "but how can you ever hope to defeat me without the other two?" She asked. I looked and counted 6 Elements of Harmony. "We're all here. You should've been turned back into crystal by now!" Rainbow exclaimed. Body Taker smirked. "You fools! You are missing two, and without the Elements of Security and Faith, how can you have any hope of succeeding?!" She told us.

Celestia stepped foward, her horn glowing with a golden aura. "They will locate the Lost Elements, and they will defeat you, Body Taker!" She said. Body Taker had a look on her face that was false fear. "Ooh, I'm so scared." She said sarcastically. "I'll give them some time to locate them, but once that time is passed, it's curtains for Equestria!" She declared. She turned her back on us and prepared to fly away.

"Wait." I called. She turned her head and looked at me with one of her chilling red and grey eyes. "How much time do we have to locate these 'Lost Elements'?" I asked. She smirked again.

"One week."
She then flew away, leaving us all standing there in shock.

(How was that? A decent amount of writing, don't you think? Well, anyways, please reveiw!)
