Luna's journey out in the middle of nowhere, searching for Discord and possibly King Sombra, was very slow and cold. She made a bubble of warmth around her with her magic. "Aaaah..." The princess sighed. "That's much better!" She continued her travels until she encountered a dead pony. Preferably, a pegasus mare with a yellow mane and a gray coat of fur. The alicorn noticed the pony's cutie mark; bubbles. "No...no, no, no. Not Derpy!" Luna cried. "Halt!" A pony yelled. Luna froze in fear. Wait a minute, She thought. I'm a princess! I can beat whoever this is! The young alicorn turned around only to find a guard. Perhaps, a guard working for Sombra. "You are under arrest in the name of King Sombra!" The pony called out. Luna couldn't quite make out who the pony was, but she could tell by the voice that it was a young, eighteen to twenty year old, colt. She narrowed her eyes and cast a spell on the pony, but the guard blocked it with his own magic. The guard shot back at the princess and she fatally fell on her back. Before she knew it, everything was black.

"Newest member of the guards, and you still managed to get the princess! How incredible!"
"Thank you, your majesty!"
"I agree. You did absolutely wonderful! Thank you for your help."
"Of course, your majesties."
"Now begone. We have business to tend to."
Luna heard hoofsteps as ponies started to move around. She started to squirm, but she immediately learned that something was tied around her. Her eyes were open, but she could see nothing. Just complete darkness.
The creaking of a door was heard, and bright light shown disturbingly brightly in Luna's eyes. She shielded her eyes with her hoof, until she saw something that caught her attention... King Sombra. "I order you to release me, you fiend!" The feisty princess yelled. King Sombra laughed rather loudly. "What is so funny?" Luna questioned. King Sombra immediately stopped laughing. "What's so funny? What's so funny?! I'll tell you what's funny!" Luna kept staring at the evil unicorn in annoyance, narrowing her eyes more and more. "What's funny is that, a princess wasn't able to escape the clutches of a puny unicorn! Shouldn't you be more powerful than any other pony in existence?!" Sombra kept laughing while Luna kept getting enraged. "I would have been able to escape, if I weren't so distracted by how many ponies you keep murdering!" Luna's voice kept raising as she spoke. She was annoyed by what Sombra has done to everypony's lives! She can't put up with it any longer! Sombra's laughing immediately stopped. "Why are you here, Luna...?" Luna narrowed her eyes and spoke. "I came to see that there were cotton candy clouds in the sky and I knew it was Discord. You and Discord on the loose? That would just be terrible for the fate of Equestria!" King Sombra laughed once again. The poor princess rolled her eyes in annoyance. As King Sombra finished his good laugh, his eyes came back to Luna's with a green glow and purple smoke. He grinned evilly as he watched the alicorn's eyes become similar to his. "Sweet dreams, princess... Mwah ha ha ha ha!"
