DarkStar and TwilightSparkle strolled into PonyVille square. All around them, ponies were gasping and pointing hooves at this mysterious creature that had suddenly appeared in their town. Some brave ponies went up to him and just stared. Not once did anypony try and introduce themself. All in all, it was a very awkward situation.
"Why are they afraid of me?" DarkStar asked.
"They haven't ever seen someone who looks like you before. Here, maybe if I introduce you it would help." TwilightSparkle responded.
Twilight trotted up into the middle of the square and shouted:
"HELLO EVERYPONY! I HAVE A NEW FRIEND FROM ANOTHER WORLD! AND GUESS WHAT? HE'S A HUMAN!" Twilight shouted.
Immediately, the ponies began to whisper. DarkStar overheard words like "savior" and "help us" and even "our only hope". Then, a cheer went out. A bouncing pink pony parted the crowd.
"HI! IM PINKIE PIE! YOU'RE GOING TO SAVE US, RIGHT? OH AND IM PINKIEPIE!" The pink pony shouted.
Save them? What did she mean? He was here for fun, to get to know everyone. Why did they all think he would save them? Suddenly, the ponies began stamping their hooves.
"That means they like you." Said Twilight. "Go on and tell them your name."
DarkStar stood up a bit taller.
"Hello! Im Darkstar!" He yelled.
The ponies then began to chant.
"DARKSTAR! DARKSTAR! DARKSTAR! SAVIOR! SAVIOR! SAVIOR!"
DarkStar glanced over to Twilight.
"Why do they all think that I'm some sort of hero? Or that I'm a savior?"
"Um… Well… Actually… Here, come inside my house. We will talk there. It seems that I have some things to discuss with you. About your purpose. About why you are actually here. You see, it's not all fun and games here anymore. An evil being name Kaos had taken over Canterlot and he is holding Princess Celestia hostage. I will explain more as soon we are inside."
DarkStar followed Twilight to a large, tall tree. They both stepped inside. It was much quieter in here, a big difference from the roar of the crowd.
"Ok, well… you see…" Twilight began to explain.
Suddenly, there was a pounding at the door. Twilight went to open it and standing there was an orange pony. Leaning against her was a white pony, bloodied and battered. However, this pony seemed to have wings. But both wings were badly injured and torn, suggesting that it would hurt a lot if they were moved. Then the orange pony spoke.
"Hey Twi'? This pony here asked to see ya." She spoke in a southern drawl.
The pair made their way inside. The white pony straighten himself and started to speak.
"I am Mithril, the last of Princess Celestia's royal guards. And I have a some bad news. It appears Princess Luna has severely injured trying to protect her sister, Princess Celestia. Princess Luna is in urgent care. Her health is decreasing rapidly. Im afraid if she doesn't get enough blodd soon, she might…die."
Both the orange pony and Twilight gasped. The white pony continued to speak.
"Also, I have a message from Kaos. He says…that PonyVille is next…"
The white pony looked more tired now, as if his purpose had been fulfilled. The orange pony moved him to a small bed and then sat down next to Twilight. She glanced around then appeared to just notice DarkStar.
"Oh dear! Im sorry sugar cube, I didn't notice ya'. Im AppleJack, but most call me AJ. Nice to meet ya'."
He shook her hoof and all three sat in awkward silence. Twilight cleared her throat and started to speak again.
"Anyways, I was going to explain everything. It appears that before being kidnapped, Princess Celestia summoned you here. She seems to think that YOU are the only one who can save us. Now I have no idea how a human han help, but I, and this entire town, believe and depend on you. So what about it champ? Will you help us?"
DarkStar stood still, shocked. A million thoughts rushed through his head. Would he help? Could he help? He opened his mouth to speak….
