What happened to Twilight and the others…time to find out….
Chapter 7
A teen was walking down the streets of Halifax, listening to music and looking at his iPhone. Everyone he passed made fun of him. They said things like "hey it's Seed Head" or "hey look, it's the Bad Seed." It was because of his name. His name was Johnny Appleseed. Unknown to all the people who picked on him, they didn't know that he was special. He was actually a pony. He held his ear lobe, where a stud earring was located. It was his cutie mark. His cutie mark was a large apple seed, above three smaller apple seeds, surrounded by an apple branch wreath. He knew that guys had one stud earring in their right ear, while girls had two hoop earrings, with the cutie marks hanging from them in both ears. He was a member of the Apple Family. The last time he was in Equestria was when he was a young foul, at one of the family reunions. He remembered spending time with his cousins, Applejack, and Big Macintosh.
He was walking down the street in the direction of the Archive Building, when out of nowhere, a girl crashed into him. He then realized that he was surrounded by girls that hadn't been there before. He noticed their ears, and realized that they were ponies. The girl that crashed into him got up, helped him up and apologized. That was when Johnny noticed the marks hanging from the girl's earrings, a group of three apples. He knew who this pony was.
"Cousin AJ?" Johnny asked, filled with hope. The girl looked at him confused, and replied "do I know you."
"You should. The last time we saw each other was one of the family reunions. You, Big Mac and I played all the time." Johnny said. The girl asked "who are you?"
"It's me, Johnny." Johnny said. The girl's eyes went wide. She tackled Johnny. "Oh my god! Johnny! It's been so long." The girl, who was actually Applejack shrieked, excited. After lots of introductions, Johnny asked "what are you ponies doing here, cousin AJ?"
Twilight, still trying to figure out the whole situation, replied, before Applejack could open her mouth. "We teleported here, in search for my oldest brother, Cutler. Somehow Discord, Queen Chrysalis, and King Sombre have returned to Equestria, and are terrorizing it. My brother is the only one who can help. Have you seen him?"
"I haven't, but I can help you find him." Johnny said, pointing to his ear. "When a pony is brought to this world, their cutie marks are turned into earrings. If you pay attention to the earrings of people, you might find him. Where would he hang out, do you think?"
"He loves books, and scrolls." Twilight replies, noticing an old building in the distance. "What building is that?"
"That's the Archives. He might be there." Johnny says, glad to help his cousin and her friends. "Let's go check it out." He says, already half way there.
The ponies, and Johnny arrive at the big doors to the Archive Building. Twilight notices an elderly man in the corner. Around his neck is an old key. The elderly man looks familiar to her, but she disregards it as she asks "excuse me sir, but could you let us in? "
Surprised at her kindness, the elderly man gets up, puts the key in the lock on the doors, and turns it. The doors rumble as they open. As the ponies enter, he turns to them and says "you will find what you seek inside, Twilight Sparkle."
As Twilight opens her mouth to question him, the doors slam shut. Across the building, three boys are startled by this. Twilight looks at their earrings. One had a yellow star in an orange circle, and one had a large red and white ball above three smaller ones. They all seemed to be ponies. As she got to the third boys earring, she paused. It was two knives, crossed over a diamond, a diamond just like hers. Without warning, she sprints across the building, and tackles the boy with the mark she recognized.
The other two boys tried to pull Twilight off of their friend, while Applejack yells from across the room "Twilight, what in tarnation do you think you're doing? You don't just tackle random people." "Leave her alone, you guys." The boy Twilight tackled said, laughing. Confused, they let go of her. "Twi, Is it really you?" the boy asked, a slight sense of joy in his voice. "Yeah, it is. But where have you been all this time? Why didn't you visit me? Why didn't you contact me, telling me you were ok? I was worried."
"Uh, Twi, who is this?" Rainbow Dash asked, confused as ever. "This, girls, is Cutler. My big brother." Twilight replies, happier then she has been in a long time. All the ponies' jaws dropped.
"I wanted to visit, to tell you I was ok, but Princess Celestia told me to keep it a secret." Cutler said. " I'm sorry, little sis."
Cutler introduced his friends, Jordan, and Dorian to his sister and her friends. He explains that they were from Equestria. Dorian doesn't believe it. As they go to leave, a figure appears in front of them
Cutler recognizes him immediately. It's the teen that was in the tunnel. "What are you doing here? What did you do in that tunnel? Who are you?" he asks.
"Who, me? I'm just finishing my plan. As for what I was doing in the tunnel, that's simple. I was bringing back some comrades in Equestria, with whom I intend to conquer and rule it. And as for whom I am. I am Darkstar." The teen said, laughing evilly, revealing his cutie mark earring: a group of dark gray circles, with yellow stars in them. "And I'm the next ruler of Equestria." And with that he teleports away.
