~Everfree Forest~

Raven landed quietly, looking at her surroundings. It would be terrifying to anyone else to linger here for so long, but she felt right at home. She sat to meditate, now where was Princess Luna? She needed to find out.

"Azarath, Metrion, Zynthos... Azarath, Metrion, Zynthos..."

She had almost let her mind go blank in searching for the Princess, until there was a splash in the pond behind her. She broke her trance and slowly approached the pond. She had to admit, she almost yelped when a blue suited unicorn-colt with a black mane emerged from the pond.

"Um, do you know where this is?" The colt looked at the surroundings, then to Raven. "You look like a Titan I know."

"Aqualad?" Raven looked him over. "Well, um..."

"TIMBERWOLVES!" A yell rang out through the Everfree Forest, followed by a howl and panting. Two ponies quickly galloped past Aqualad and Raven.

"Azarath, Metrion, ZYNTHOS!" Raven saw the first Timberwolf appear. She never thought Timberwolves could actually be a wolf made out of timber-bits. She threw the first one back, hitting the other wolves behind it. They immediately burst into pieces.

"Are y'all just gonna stand there?" One of the ponies that had galloped past, Raven recognized her as Applejack, yelled back "Quick, before they reassemble!"

Aqualad pulled some water from the pond, creating a tidal wave and pushing the timber bits back into the forest. He then looked at Raven "Shall we run?"

Raven spread her wings, grabbing him with her magic, flying after Applejack. "Shall we fly?" She flew after Applejack and the other pony, back to Sweet Apple Acres, landing softly on the grass beside Applejack, and lowering Aqualad to the ground.

"Y'all really did a number on those there Timberwolves. I hope they think twice before messin' with y'all again." Applejack looked from Raven to Aqualad "Another one?"

"Yep. Since Aqualad is here, that would only mean that Bumblebee, Speedy and Más y Menos are here as well." Raven looked at Fluttershy behind Applejack "What were you two doing in Everfree anyways?"

"A-angel bunny ran away into the Everfree F-f-forest!" Fluttershy stuttered. "Applejack and I were l-looking for her, and then the T-t-t-timberwolves attacked us!"

Aqualad looked towards the forest. "You lost a bunny? Raven, don't you have an affinity towards bunnies?"

Raven glared at him briefly, before taking back off into the woods. She returned shortly after with a white rabbit sitting on her head. "I came here looking for Princess Luna, and instead I find a bunny."

Fluttershy grabbed Angel off of Raven's head. "Now you don't run off again, Angel Bunny! The Everfree Forest is dangerous, no matter what time of day it is!"

Aqualad looked at Fluttershy briefly. "You're good with animals, aren't you. Do you have any fish?" he left with her as soon as she nodded.

"Would you know where to find Princess Luna, Applejack?" Raven paced up to Applejack.

~Sugarcube Corner~

"All you have to do is take a cup of the flour, add it to the mix. Then you take something of the sweet, not sour. A little bit of the salt, just a pinch. Baking these cakes is such a chore, add a teaspoon of the vanilla. Add a little more, and you count to four, and you never get your fill of the..."

"You can stop singing now, even though Making Cupcakes is my favorite song!" Pinkie Pie looked at Starfire, who was singing the song for the fiftieth time. "The cupcakes are ready anyhow!"

The door of the shop opened, Sweetie Belle, Scootaloo, Applebloom and Robin trotted in. Starfire galloped over to hug Robin. "Friend Robin! I haven't seen you in so long!"

"Its been ah bout two hours." Applebloom looked at Starfire, who backed up a bit. "But yer right, that is ah long time!"

"Twitcha Twitch! Twitcha Twitch!" Pinkie yelled, her knee was twitching. Starfire and Robin looked at each other in confusion. "Don't go outside, stay here!"

Starfire's horn glowed a light green. "I think the horn of me is trying to act as a communicator, and it is receiving the signals." Scootaloo kicked Starfire, surprising her. The glow shot off her horn and onto the floor, creating a spot where an image appeared.

"Twitch twitcha twitchy twitch!" Pinkie's tail twitched

"Ah would suggest ya'll listen to her 'Pinkie Sense'." Applebloom looked at Starfire and Robin "Knee pinches, somethin' scary is about ta happen. Tail twitch, something is about ta fall out of the sky."

Robin peered into the image on the floor. a human figure fell from the sky. One he could identify without thinking. "Slade..."

Pinkie's tail twitched again. "Chocolate rain?!" she ran outside and stuck her tongue out, catching the drops. "Eternal chaos comes with chocolate rain, you guys. CHOCOLATE RAIN!"

"Why is the sky turning a blackish blotchy color?" Starfire looked Pinkie Pie, who shrugged. "It looks of the sinister sorts."

There was a screech behind them and a dust cloud was kicked up. When the dust finally settled, Kid Flash joined beside Starfire and Robin. Rainbow Dash looked briefly at Pinkie Pie "There's only one villain who could make the sky change like that." she looked at the sky "In fact, change is what they are. The sun is being blocked out by changelings."

"Queen Chrysalis?" Pinkie Pie looked at Rainbow Dash, who nodded. "Aw, but I was liking the chocolate rain..."

"Discord..." Rainbow Dash scowled

"So we have the Discord, Queen of Chrysalis and Slade?" Starfire looked back at the group, who looked at each other. "Would the exchange of worried glances be equal to the saying of yes right now?"

"YOU!" a voice shouted. Everypony turned around. A suited pony wearing a witch hat and a cloak looked at them. "I've been looking for you everywhere..." the pony came up to Robin, mask to mask "...Colt Wonder." She was the mysterious Mare Do Well.
