*Preparing for the Princess*

"Fluttershy, are the birds ready?" Lunar asked the quiet pegasus.

"yes, we have been practicing for a while for now." Fluttershy told him as he nodded.

"Ok, Rarity finished the decorations. Apple Jack has brought the treats, and Rainbow Dash has cleared the sky to watch the Sun rise." Lunar stated as his team did the final check before the Princess showed up.

"For many years, we have celebrated the sunrise." a mare with a scroll wrapped in blue wrappings announced.

"Because it provides us the sunlight we need to grow our crops, so we give thanks to the Princess for this." The mare continued as the ponies prepared for the conclusion of her statement.

"So as the Mayor of this town, I welcome ... Princess Celestia!" The Mayor announced as Rarity pulled back the curtain and Fluttershy started to conduct the avians in song.

"Wheres the Princess?" Several ponies wondered as they took notice of the missing princess.

"It's time..." Lunar muttered so quietly that no pony would hear him, yet one did.

"Greetings my loyal subjects. It's been so long since I've seen all of you." an ominous voice resonated through the building.

"Who's that?" Rainbow Dash asked as a purple and black cloud spotted with white sparks in it circled the crowd.

"Oh no, I was right." Twilight panicked as the cloud started to manifest.

"I've finally returned claim my rightful throne." The cloud formed into a pony with a pure black horn and wings formed wearing a royal blue set of armour covering her.

"Who are you?!" Rainbow Dash asked as she flared her wings.

Oh? Have you forgotten me so easily? Am I not royal enough for you? Don't you know who I am, so it appears that one thousand years can make people forget about myself. It appears that I have to educate you. My name is Nightmare Moon, and my reign starts anew." Nightmare Moon laughed as she Rainbow Dash attempts to launch herself at the mare, but Apple Jack prevented her from doing so.

"Calm down Rainbow Dash." Apple Jack told her as the Wonderbolts attempted to stop he, but got batted away like insects, and Nightmare Moon started to make

"Your finest flyers are nothing compared to me. Remember this day, for it is your last. Because this night will last FOREVER!" Nightmare Moon announced as the moon began to shine brightly and the mare disappeared onto a cloud of magic, and flew threw the forrest.

"She's getting away!" Rainbow Dash yelled as she tried to follow the 'Princess', but could not keep up with it.

'Looks like it's time.' Lunar thought as Twilight started heading back to the library, quickly followed by Rainbow Dash.

"Hey Pinkie, get Rarity and Apple Jack. Rainbow Dash is flying off." Lunar told her as he followed the multi coloured pegasus.

*Golden Oaks Library*
"Spike, wake up. Nightmare Moon has appeared. Where are the elements?" Twilight yelled at him as she tore threw the shelves looking for something to help.

"Twilight?" Spike asked while the Unicorn looked for a clue.

"Spike, I need help finding the book. I need to find something on the Elements of Harmony." Twilight told him as Rainbow Dash barged into the library.

"What are the Elements of Harmony?" Rainbow Dash asked her as she started to back her into a corner.

"How did you know Nightmare Moon about Nightmare Moon?" Rainbow Dash questioned her.

"Are you a spy?" Rainbow Dash demanded as Apple Jack ran into the building.

"Simmer down Rainbow Dash." Apple Jack told her as Lunar, Pinkie, and Rarity entered the library.

"Twilight, can you us what is happening, and why Nightmare Moon has appeared." Lunar asked her for the other mares present.

"Alright. Legend stated that after one thousand years, she would return. Because today was the one thousand anniversary of the Summer Sun celebration, she broke out of her seal. The only thing that can stop her are The Elements of Harmony, but I can't find anything useful on them!" Twilight fumed as Pinkie walked over to a shelf and began to read something off.

"The Elements of Harmony: A reference guide." Pinkie read off as Twilight quickly moved her away to begin reading the book.

"Where did you find this? I have been looking all over for this?" Twilight asked her as she scoured the entire content of the book.

"I found it under E section." Pinkie simply stated as Twilight nearly fell over at the simplicity of it.

Ok... The Elements of Harmony. There's six that exist, but only five are known. Each embodies one aspect, or another. They are Kindness, Laughter, Generosity, Honesty, and Loyalty. The Elements were last known to be at the Former Royal castle, located in the heart... of the... "Twilight trailed off as most of the colour drained from her face.

"Where is the castle darling?" Rarity asked her as Twilight slowly turned to them.

"In the centre of The Everfree forest." Twilight told them as most of them started to panic.

"So, let's go!" Pinkie told them as she bounced out of the library. While Lunar shrugged, and followed the Pink Mare.

'Are they really going into the forest?' Twilight thought as she headed outside the Library.

"Are you ready to go?" Pinkie asked her

"No. I appreciate the offer, but I'm going to go alone." Twilight told them in her most determined voice.

"Can't do that sugarcube. We ain't lettin' our friend walk right into that creepy place." Apple Jack told her.

"She is right Twilight, the Everfree forest is a terrifying place. There's no way that we would let you go alone." Lunar told her in a tone that left no room for argument.

"Alright, but let's hurry. The larger we take, the longer Nightmare Moon is out there." Twilight told them as quickly head out.

"Don't worry Twilight, we're going to stick to you like caramel on a candy apple." Lunar told her as they headed toward the forest.

"Yeah, especially if there's candy apples." Pinkie stated as most of them stared at her.

"What? There pretty good." Pinkie told them as Lunar reached into his bag and pulled out a wrapped candy apple, and chucked it to her.

"Here. I had a feeling you would want one." Lunar stated as they looked at the stallion.

"*Sigh* Come on." Twilight told them as they headed into the forest.

'Ha ha ha, idiotic foals! They not only told me their plans, but how they'll try to beat me.' Nightmare Moon thought as her vaporous form flew threw the forest, in order to prevent their plans.

'So she's following us. What are her plans?' Lunar wondered as he noticed they were near a cliff side.

"There's something wrong with this place. It's not like the rest of Equestria." Apple Jack freaked out out as Rainbow Dash took it as an opportunity to cause some mayhem

"Do know why this place is so mysterious? Because every pony who enters ... never ... gets ... OUT!" Rainbow Dash yelled as most of them to scream.

'Oh no!' Lunar panicked as he went to alert them, but was to late. The cliff side quickly started to deteriorate, causing the Unicorns and Earth ponies to follow it along the edge.

"Fluttershy, quick!" Rainbow Dash told her as they flew down, to grab Rarity and Pinkie.

"Oh my goodness." Fluttershy stated as she delicately grabbed Rarity's tail.

"Apple Jack, grab this!" Lunar told her as he sent several roots through the ground for Apple Jack to grab. But didn't Twilight continued to fall.

"Hold on, I'm a coming." Apple Jack told her as she let go of the root and grabbed Twilight before she could completely fall.

"What am I going to do Apple Jack?" Twilight asked her as the cliff started to give out.
"Let go." Apple Jack told her.

"What do you mean Apple Jack!? If I let go, I will fall!" Twilight demanded as the cliff continued to give out.

"Just trust her Twilight. I can't hold this for long!" Lunar told her as he created more roots to hold the chunk of land in place.

"Twilight, what I'm telling ya is the honest truth. Let go, you'll be fine." Apple Jack reassured her as Twilight nodded.

"Alright, I trust you." Twilight told her as she closed her eyes and let go, while screaming.

"Twilight. Can you calm down? You're fine!" Rainbow Dash told her as Twilight opened her eyes , and saw the two pegasi holding her and slowly descending.

"Oh right." Twilight stated as her descend got a little jerky for a bit.

"Sorry, I'm not used to carrying more then a few bunnies." Fluttershy apologized as they set her down, while Lunar and Apple Jack slid down the side and the chunk of dirt finally gave out.

"Thank you." Twilight told them as they continued along the path.

'That was cutting it close. Looks like I'm going to speed this up little.' Lunar thought as he moved to the back of the herd.

"Hey Lunar, what cha' doing?" Pinkie asked him.

"Nothing, just checking my bag." Lunar told her as she nodded.

"Okie Dokie Lokie." Pinkie told him as she continued walking.

'Sorry Pinkie. Wooden Walker copy.' Lunar thought as he manipulated the wood outside his body, and formed it into a exact duplicate of himself. Even the colour and bandages was on the duplicate.

'Forgive me, but this is personal.' Lunar apologized as his copy followed the mares, while he jumped into the dense foliage. Taking a short cut through the forest to the centre.
