Hearth walked through the halls of the Canterlot castle with his friends and marefriend at his side. "Soo Hearth how is being Equestria's hero doin ya?" Applebloom asked. "its good being the hero of today, i guess a little more publicity was a feature. But I cant help thinking of the famous war Between the empires and the forces of the dead. it was lead by princess Aurora Borealis herself you know. I can't help thinking I would have liked to help her."

"Wish granted.' A voice spoke. "hey you guys did you hear that?" Cotton asked. Soon they were all thrown into a worm hole and blacked out.

They woke up soon after. "ugg what happened?" hearth asked. He looked around to see guards crawling everywhere. There was five ponies in the hall one lying on the ground. he gasped and nudged his friends awake. he cautiously walked over to the ponies. Once he got a better look at the pony's face he gasped. That was Prince Millennium!

he edged his way to them. he cleared his throat and they all whipped their heads to look at him. "State your buisness." Chronos said. "I am Hearth Soul Fire and these are my friends Silky Sensations, Apple Bloom, Cotton Wood, Gusty Gale and Midnight. We don't know how we got here your majesty. We were just talking about the legendary war between Broken shadow and the Empires. Led by princess aurora Borealis. I was saying i wanted to help her and then we were teleported here." He finished.

Celestia got up from Millennium's side and walked over to them. Her eyes widened. "Don't worry father. These ponies are great heroes in the future. They are welcome here. Hearth maybe you can help us. My daughter has been taken by the changelings no doubt to Broken Shadow's lair. Can you help?" She asked.

Hearth looked at his friends then back to Celestia and nodded. "Good. We need soldiers. Father, get some of the best guards there is, we need to find my daughter!" He nodded to his friends and they ran off.

With RD

A gentle breeze blew against my face as I flew threw the skies. I made a dive towards a large mound of clouds. "Rainbow Dive!" I screamed happily and i nose dived towards the large rainbow filled clouds. I landed in the rainbow water with a loud splash. The cool water washed over my coat and matted my mane giving it a brighter rainbow color.

I resurfaced blinking the water out of my eyes. My element of harmony hung tightly around my neck for Celestia ordered us to keep it on us at all times. I heard a splash behind me and I whipped around to see a huge red pony with a gray mane and tail and colds amber eyes. "well well well what do we have here? Little miss Loyalty. pathetic." he growled. I narrowed my eyes at him. "Who do you think you are insulting me, like that?" I hissed.

He smirked. "How could you not know me? i am windblown fastest flyer in all of equestria. And toughest" he added with a growl. i snorted "Yea right, you wouldn't stand a chance against me in a race."

A smirk crept across his face. "Oh your on Bitch." He said. I smirked. "bitches are dogs and dogs are nature and nature is beautiful, so thanks for the compliment." I smiled. Confusion and anger swept across his face.

"Whatever lets get this on" He hissed impatiently. "Fine, how about from here across the river to that far apple tree go through ghastly gorge and back here?"I asked. "Fine by me." We lined up at a line in the clouds. "On your mark." I said stretching downward and unfurling my wings. "Get set." HE said. "GO!" I screeched and took off at top speed. I swiftly looked behind me to see Windblown right on my tail.

I swerved to the right and launched myself downward into a nose dive. I wasn't going fast enough to do a sonic rain boom, but it was fast enough to steer him out of the path. He was burly and strong but i had the advantage of agility and strength.

I propelled my wings forward so that i shot up into the air and raced through the sky. I could see a red blur from the corner of my vision and his hoof was reaching for my element. I steered slightly to the left and shouted. "Not this time asshole!" I swerved even more and just in time. He crashed into the tree and his head was stuck. I snickered at him.

"fuck you!" he screeched. "what time?" i asked innocently while i batted my eyelashes all Rarity-like. He growled at me. "ta ta for now!" I said and flew off. I was soaring through the air when i crashed head first with Prince Stone. " Oh my I am so sorry about that your highness." I quickly apologized. "well it looks like you don't need saving RD." I blushed.

"of course not I am Rainbow 'Danger' Dash, I never need saving." I saluted him and gemstone. They smiled. "come now lets get back to the palace."

Gemstone said and we flew off leaving a crushed and broken Windblown behind.

MOONBEAM'S POV

I opened my eyes and let out a groan. I hurt all over. I slowly rose up and sat on my haunches. My coat was bloodstained but it wasn't my blood, or I think it wasn't. I was in a large room and there were two thrones in the center. The fabrics that coated the room were a collage of black, blood red, burgundy and maroon.

"where the fuck am I" I said to no one in particular. "well well well. Princess Aurora Borealis. It truly is and honor to be in your presence." A dark voice said. I whipped around only to have excruciating pain shoot up in my left shoulder. I winced. "Don't strain yourself sweetie. I want my future bride to be healthy and well." it said.

"Like I would want to marry you, I don't even know who you are, you bastard!" I hissed angrily. "Ooh Fiesty. I like them like that. It makes it so much more fun." he hissed with a snake like tone. The figure stepped out of the Shadows. Time just seemed to stop.

" you have got to be kidding me?" i asked. There standing right before me, was Broken Shadow.

"Why do you seem so surprised, my little Moonbeam?" he asked weaving around me. "Call me that again and i will rip your stallionhood right off and stuff it down your throat." i growled.

He smiled. "Well you can go look around and don't try to escape. I have armed forces at every corner and a spell that will keep you inside the castle until our wedding day." he growled happily.

"How old do you think I am, genius?" I scowled. He shrugged "It doesn't matter to me. You are the most beautiful and sexy pony in equestria and I deserve the best."

"What makes you think that I will marry you?" I asked. My facial expression didn't break. "Unless you marry me you will not see your friends and family again. Alive." He added before disappearing.

I sighed. I had no choice. I will marry him to save my family and friends. For their sake. A single tear fell down my cheek and dropped to the floor. I looked out the window. My aunt's moon and stars shone brightly. I looked to the brightest star in the sky. Another tear fell. I levitated a parchment and quill and began writing.

I quickly finished and sent it out the window. I sighed. Tears brimmed my eyes. "I love you all. Especially you Millennium, i will miss you, forever. Goodbye." I rasped my voice choking up. My knees buckled from under me and I let my walls down. I haven't cried this hard since the gala. I am known for not really shedding a tear, but this was an exception.
