Three little ponies climbed out of the balloon. One was a yellow Earth Pony with red mane and pink bow (Applebloom), one was a white Unicorn with pink and purple mane (Sweetiebell) and an orange Pegasus (Scootaloo). The three of them had a purple shield for cutie marks, but Applebloom had an apple, Sweetiebell had a musical note, and Scootaloo had a lightning bolt.
They followed everyone to the Secret Library (got caught by James) and AppleJack and Rarity were about to lecture their sisters (Rainbow Dash and Scootaloo aren't sisters) when everyone went quiet.
"Everyone. I'm afraid that we are all in grave danger, and so is the entire world. The only ones who can save us are the eight Elements of Harmony: Loyalty, Honesty, Generosity, Laughter, Kindness, Magic, Friendship, Independence, Power, Family and Love. That's Princesses Twilight Sparkle and Lilo Pelekai, Fluttershy, Rainbow Dash, Rarity, AppleJack, Pinkie Pie, Queen Sofia, Myrtle, Yuki, Crystal and Elena," Princess Elena said.
"There is a new evil coming," Princess Luna said.
"How do we do that?" Sofia asked.
"You unite." Princess Luna replied.
"What is this evil?" Queen Miranda asked.
"His name is Nightmare," Princess Cadence said.
Cedric's eyes widened with shock. "Nightmare? But that's impossible."
"Cedric, who is Nightmare?" King Roland asked.
"Leroy, could you please us get a copy of Ancient Monsters and Legends?" Cedric asked his second apprentice (as Sofia was his first apprentice).
Leroy ran to a corner and then came back with a black book.
"Nightmare is a monster who wants to turn the whole world into one massive horrible bad dream. He's also got an army of vile things called Bad Dreamers," Cedric said, reading from the book.
He showed them a picture of a black wolf with a Unicorn's horn and a Pegasus' wings.
"He'll take over Hawaii first. Then Equestria, then Enchancia and then the world. So the eight Elements of Harmony must unite together and use the Power of Unity to stop Nightmare. Kind of like the power of Light stopping the Dark," Princess Celestia added.
"Is there a chance that they could die?" Nani asked, worried.
The Grand Councilwoman sighed. "There's a 50/50 chance. 50% chance of surviving and 50% chance of being killed."
Miranda, Nani and Shining Armor started crying.
"There is a way to give them a better chance of survival: We all help them by taking on the army," Tilly suggested.
Everyone loved this idea.
"How long until Nightmare gets here?" Applebloom asked.
"It could be a matter of days, so we need to start preparing. I've asked Mateo to come and help once word of Hawaii is spread," Princess Elena said.
"Until then, we must train. Mistress Flora, Fauna and Merryweather will also provide assistance," Princess Cadence added.
Locations left until Enchancia: Hawaii, Avalor & Equestria
Time left: 3 days 2 hours 45 minutes and 30 seconds.
