My Little Pony:
Friendship is Magic
Enter the Darkness
Chapter 2: The Forgotten Legend
At the train station leading to Canterlot, Rarity was accompanied with a few other Ponies: a pink Pony with poofy, darker pink hair and balloons on her flank; an orange Pony with light orange hair as her mane and tail, both tied at the end, wearing a cowgirl hat, and had apples on her flank; a light blue/cyan Pony with wings and a rainbow colored mane and tail and had a cloud shooting a rainbow colored lightning bolt on her flank; and a bright yellow Pony, who was looking rather shy, also with wings and a pink mane, that covered one side of her face, and tail and had butterflies on her flank.
"So yer sure that letter Twilight got wasurgent, Rarity?" the orange Pony asked.
"Yes, I know an urgent letter when I hear one, Applejack," Rarity responded, brushing her violet curved mane.
"Hey look! Here comes Twilight!" stated the overly excited pink mare, seeing the purple Pony gallop towards the group.
She stopped to greet her friends. "The book... The book... was stolen..." she said, taking deep breaths from running so fast.
"Oh my... Wh-Who stole it?..." asked the yellow pegasus sheepishly.
"I don't know, Fluttershy. I just found it missing," Twilight said, catching her breath.
"Maybe it was ghosts. Oh! Or a goblin! Or maybe-"
"Uh, Pinkie Pie, this really ain't th' time fer guessin'," Applejack said, interrupting her pink friend.
The cyan pegasus simply yawned lazily. "Whatever. Who cares about some old book. C'mon, girls. Let's get to the Princess," she said before flying into the train.
"Ah swear, that Rainbow Dash is nuthin' but trouble sometimes," Applejack sighed, annoyed by the rainbow Pony's attitude.
The rest of the group joined the cyan Pony into the train before it left for Canterlot. Once there, the 6 Ponies made their way to the Castle as instructed by the Princess. Once there, they are greeted by the Royal Guards who gladly opened the doors to the Princess' Chambers.
Once inside, the ponies are greeted by a tall white Pony with both a sharp unicorn horn and a large pair of pegasus wings. On her flank was the sun. Beside her was a slightly smaller but still tall dark purple Pony also with a sharp unicorn horn and large pegasi wings. Her flank had the moon. The white alicorn had a mane and tail that flowed with three colors, light blue, light green, and light red. The dark purple alicorn also had a flowing mane and tail but was dark blue with star glitter in it, resembling the night sky. Both wore crowns, chest armor, and armored shoes; the white alicorn's was golden while the dark purple alicorn's was black.
The Ponies bowed at the Princesses. "Princess Celestia and...Princess Luna?" Twight greeted in her typical, though now questionable, fashion.
"Twilight Sparkle," the dark purple alicorn, known as Luna, began, "where is the book you claim to have discovered?"
Twilight scratched the back of her head, having a hard time to explain. "It was..." she paused and then sighed, "...stolen."
"STOLEN!?" Luna shouted angrily.
Celestia put a hoof on her sister's back, calming her down. "Twilight. Everyone. We need to talk," she said calmly. "That book Twilight and Spike found is not actually a book in itself. It is an evil far darker than that of Discord himself."
"An evil I had to face!" Luna shouted angrily still.
"Be calm, sister," Celestia said. "Yes. She fought this evil while I fought Discord. It was both of us who turned the draconequus to stone the first time... However, the evil was far harder to seal away. The best we could do was seal it in a book. We then hid the book in a tree that would soon become your home, Twilight."
"But why not burn it, Princess?" Twilight asked.
"We tried but not even fire from the sun was strong enough to scorch the book," Luna replied.
"If whoever stole the book has the intention of releasing the evil, they are most likely going beyong the Everfree Forest to the Mountain of Dark Fire, the location where Luna last fought the evil," Celestia stated.
"So how're we supposed to catch up with us all th' way over here?" Applejack asked.
"I must agree. By the time we reach the Everfree Forest Entrance, we would be too late," Rarity said.
Celestia giggled at their concern before responding, "By teleporting of course. But my magic can only reach so far. I can only wish you Ponies the best of luck." In a bright light, the six mares are teleported to the entrance to the Everfree Forest. Twilight could definitely feel the book up ahead.
"Come on, girls. Let's get that book back!" Twilight shouted leading the charge.
