Chapter 9: Looming Shadows
''Shadow Guild? Here?'' Twilight Sparkle looked over the camp. Red flags with a black pony flew across the camp. Grey ponies in black armor patrolled the area inside and around the walls.
''They must have Silver Moon with them.'' Shimmer Star said thoughtfully.
''What's the Shadow Guild?'' Shimmer turned to Fluttershy.
''They're a group of ponies who choose to side with Discord. They've been popping up in Equestria a lot lately. But to find them here.'' Shimmer stood up to find a way down when a voice spoke behind them.
''Well, you don't go to somepony's home and NOT find them.'' Shimmer jumped around to see 5 Shadow ponies standing behind them.
''Grab them, let's help them find their friend.'' The ponies jumped and slid bags over Twilight, Shimmer, and Fluttershy's heads, and carried them off.
When the bag came off Shimmer's head, he heard a door slam shut. Spinning around he saw that he was in a barred cell. Fluttershy and Twilight Sparkle were also in the cell. Turning his head, Shimmer noticed another pony with a white flank and a red mane.
''Silver Moon, I finally found you.''
