Chapter 2 – Evil from the Shadows
Twilight, Cadance, Shining Armor and their friends arrived at the grand ballroom. Pinkie Pie was asked by Twilight to put up the decorations for the gala when she received her invite. There were streamers, balloons and banners with her cutie mark. The DJ at this party was none other than Vinyl Scratch; she was setting up her DJ decks.
"Pinkie, thanks for setting up the decorations. They are fantastic." exclaimed Twilight.
"Your welcome Twilight, anything for one of my pony friends." replied Pinkie.
Even the others were impressed by the décor. "Pinkie this is the most fabulous display I have ever seen." added Rarity.
"Well come on, let's get this party started!" said Rainbow Dash ecstatically. Vinyl Scratch started the music and the party began. Meanwhile outside the Crystal Palace, the guards were on high security. When suddenly they heard somepony singing.
"Come along ponies, come and play with me. You will see amazing things…."
"Who goes there?" one of the guards demanded, then a dusty yellow pony and two other figures came forward.
"For the Elements of Harmony, hahahahaha!" a familiar distorted female voice replied, and they knocked them out. Twilight and the others were still dancing to the music until they heard a lightening bolt outside the window, followed by howling wind and evil laughter. The ponies, Spike and Discord huddled together.
"What's going on?" asked a whimpering Sweetie Belle.
"Spike, you take Apple Bloom, Scootaloo and Sweetie Belle to the library for safety." commanded Twilight.
"OK Twilight, come on Crusaders." replied Spike and they ran to safety. Twilight, Cadance, Shining Armor and the others stood their ground and suddenly in a bright red flash of light, stood their old enemy the Queen of the Changelings.
"Chrysalis!" shouted Shining Armor.
"Mwahahahaha! Right you are my little ponies. I have returned to seek my revenge on all of you!"
"We defeated you once before, we'll defeat you again!" replied Twilight angrily. She and her friends ran towards them but something grabbed the other Elements of Harmony at a very fast speed. Fluttershy screamed in terror.
"Fluttershy!" gasped Discord.
"Hey let me go!" shouted Rainbow Dash, followed by the screams of Pinkie, Applejack and Rarity. And the small pony appeared, "Sorry it had to be this way, Princess!"
"Who are you?" Demanded Flash Sentry.
"I am Carnival Cat." The earth pony replied cheekily.
"Let me introduce you to my ally." Added Queen Chrysalis. Then a male laughing voice echoed through the palace. Then an evil dark alicorn appeared beside Carnival Cat and Chrysalis.
"Hello Crystal Princess!" He sneered.
"Malice!" gasped Princess Cadance.
"Who?" asked Trixie in a state of shock.
"The son of King Sombra."
"Oh no, this is impossible." Gasped Twilight.
"Oh it is possible, Princesses. After you defeated my father when he tried to rule the Crystal Empire, I decided to follow in his evil path and avenge him." He replied evilly. "Soon we will take the whole of Equestria and rule it with eternal evil."
"You'll never get away with this!" vowed Discord. "We will save our friends and put a stop to your evil plans."
"Try and stop us everypony! Hahahahaha!" Malice laughed maniacally and he, Cat and Chrysalis flew off taking the Elements of Harmony with them. The ballroom turned back to normal. Twilight bowed her head in sorrow. Trixie walked up to her.
"Don't worry Twilight. We'll get them back." Flash agreed.
"She's right. We got to save our friends."
"You're right," replied Twilight, "We can't let them get away with this. Flash you and I will try to find them. Discord, you and Trixie look after Spike and the Crusaders and tell them what's happened, and ask Spike to write a message to Princess Celestia and Luna."
"As you wish Princess Twilight." Discord replied.
"Discord you can still call me Twilight. After all we are friends right?"
"Really? You are my friend?"
"Really and truly Discord."
"Thank you and good luck Twilight. Let's go Trixie."
"Right behind you." added Trixie and they ran for the library.
"While you and Flash try to rescue the others, Cadance and I will create a protection spell around the Crystal Empire we'll open it up when you return." responded Shining Armor.
"Good luck you two," said Cadance. "And be careful."
"Thanks. Ready Flash?" asked Twilight.
"Let's go." replied Flash, and they flew off to find their friends and save them from Chrysalis, Cat and Malice's clutches.
