Celestia and Luna

Princess Celestia lowered her head as the connection was cut off, until she had an idea. She had thought of a royal letter, but what would it say, she thought to herself.

"Sister, look! Something is happening inside of the portal!"

She looked as Luna exclaimed and sure enough, there was crackling sound coming from inside, and the sounds of faint voices.

"What's happening?"

"I haven't the faintest idea... Is that, Twilight's voice?"

"I hear the others as well. Is it switching between the six of them?"

"Look, an image."

It was Rarity. Arguing with another human, using her body as a shield for a smaller one. Instantly a golden arrow shoots through her throat without her knowing. As she falls back the pointed tip pierces the small boy's shoulder, both of their faces utterly shocked and caught off unaware of any possible danger such as that.

"No!"

"It can't be!"

The image fades away in a swirling motion, two slowly blinking bright glowing green-yellow eyes form in it's place, a soft sob and a cold breeze comes from the portal.

"You can change this..."

"What?"

"Her fate. Their fates. I've been... Watching. Stuck in this hole, trapped in this, dimension."

"So this is all your fault?"

"Luna, listen to their words. They're trapped in there."

"I do not blame her. I apologize but, I am tired of letting this, beast have it's way. For eons... I have been collecting power and looking for those brave enough and strong enough to finally put a stop to it! Please. Help me, help them. Please."

"What do you think we should do, Celestia? I don't know what we're dealing with here. It could be him."

"It could be the pony who stole the Elements, however..."

Princess Celestia began to walk forward and into the portal, determination in her eyes.

"If what they say is true, then I'll do what I can."

"Thank you... Thank you."

"Sister wait! Who will rule over Equestria?!"

She did falter and stop at that as the thought occurred to her but she turned with a smile adorned on her face.

"You always did deserve your share of the limelight."

Luna was taken aback by that answer and called out to her sister once more, but her voice reached no one as Celsetia had already entered the mysterious realm. It was as if the world was made of black and green winds that thrashed and flew wildly. There was no such thing as a floor, yet she felt she was stepping on something solid. The eyes were by her side and floated down slightly, as if bowing.

"Thank you, but I may as well get this out of the way. Time, doesn't exactly work here, at all. It's an anomaly that shouldn't exists, yet like black holes, it does. By the time you leave, not a second will have past. However we must hurry. I have no body to worry about, but you, your life is being drained away as we speak."

"Why didn't you tell me before?"

"... I wanted to see if you were really willing. I'm sorry. The beast, they're this way. Whatever you don't let it control you with it's words."

"Noted. This isn't the first time I've dealt with an evil entity."

"Hopefully, your experience will aid us."

As it lead her through the empty world she came across strange sights. Visons and images, like clips of a movie, flickering throughout the area. Soon she stopped at stairway with white outlines.

"Almost there..."

"..."

It didn't take long for her to reach the top. Awaiting was a shadowed figure with matted, wild long hair that fell far past the body. From her perspective one half of the body was humanoid, the left side of the body, and the other half was hidden in the dark silhouette of the hair. What could be seen was an odd powerful build, long muscular arms with fierce claws that even shadowed, seemed rather sharp. They stood up from a contorted and twisted throne and leapt down, right across from the two. They did a gesture with a the hand as a giant chessboard erupts from the floor as they sit in the air, head resting on the hand as the motion for the Princess to speak.

"Are you the one who opened that portal in my world?"

" E. N. O. U. G. H. Y. O. U. H. A. V. E. L. I. T. T. L. E. T. I . M. E. M. A. K. E. Y. O. U. R. M. O. V. E. "

"What?"

"Miss! Look, it's them!"

She looked onto the giant chessboard. The pieces on her side where miniature, yet life-like figurines of the Mane Six, and next to each of them were the humans from before shown through the shards. Some of them were from the visons before.

"I... I don't know what's going on. But if I can save them from whatever your plan is, I'll play your game."

There was a grunt as they flicked their wrist at her, pieces flying out on his side. They were covered in some weird black mist. One flew at Twilight as an image on the board appeared. There she was with a man as three figures were dashing at them.
