at the edge of the everfree forest a dark heavy fog crept from the forest a dark sapphire unicorn mare with a black rose on her flank emerged from the fog her name is blackrose. Blackrose looked around she spoke out loud arise children of the night the night mother nightmare moon smiles upon us and we shall attack ponyville in her honor. A voice said " lady Blackrose the troops are at the ready". Blackrose said " commander witherwing I want you and five of your best scouts to go and scout out ahead and report back with your findings to me in a hour". Witherwing saluted as she troted away. Meanwhile in ponyville at twilight's treehouse princess celestia said " girls your will need to wear your elements at all times until the danger goes away". Twilight said " rainbow dash can you bust up the fog"? Rainbow dash said " I can bust the fog faster than you can read the history of equestria" then she flew high into the air then she dove straight down into the fog with a rainbow streaking behind her. Twilight watched as rainbow dash dive into the fog. James said " hi twilight what are you doing out here alone"? Twilight said " I am not alone rainbowdash is in the fog busting up the fog it's what she is good at". A voice said " ouch". Rainbowdash limped out of the fog. Twilight ran to help rainbowdash up she allowed rainbowdash to lean on her. James watched twilight and rainbowdash walk back inside the treehouse he said " oh no twilght and rainbowdash your elements has turned a dull grey. Twilight said " I guess it was to happen but to prophecy said they will shine again with your goolden crystal so I will not worry over it". Rainbowdash said "twilight can you help me to upstairs I want to rest I feel drained"? Twilight and rainbowdash walked upstairs. Princess luna said "is rainbowdash ok James"? James said "yes princess luna but rainbowdash and twilight elements of harmony have turned a dull grey". Princess luna shivered like a jolt of magic went trough her body. James said " princess luna are you ok"? Princess luna said " no it can't be" she had spoke out loud. James said "princess luna what's wrong" with concern in his voice? Apple jack said " James have you seen rainbowdash"? James said "yes rainbowdash crashed into something I think but she felt a little drained so twilight took her upstairs to the guest room". Applejack said " princess luna why do you look you seen a ghost"? Princess luna said " I felt something from my past that's what's wrong".
