Story: Today was the day of the Gala inside Canterlot Palace. The ponies around Equestria were dressed up in their fanciest outfits and clothes. Some of the most famous ponies were invited to the Gala, some were musicians, artists and national heroes. Celestria and Luna were holding the gala together this year; the security had been doubled since the incident of Princess Candice and Shining Armors wedding. The Elements of Harmony were also there. Everypony was having a good time, except Celestria. Celestria would have been talking to the guests, but she felt as if something is not right. She could not help but notice that since the changeling incident, more invaders would come to ruin days like these. Celestria looked down and sat in her throne, disappointed. ‘Sister, I wish to discuss that something isn’t right. I can’t put my hoof on it….’ Celestria began to Luna. Twilight then came to see if Celestria was feeling ok. ‘Princess Celestria, is there anything I can do to help?’ Twilight began but was cut out by the doors of the palace room being slammed down. Purple figures with Blood red eyes entered the room and surrounded the guests. The Guests screamed in fear at these figures. One of the guests tried to fly out the windows but was stopped by a strange magical aura that enveloped the castle. These figures were all different shapes and sizes, from a common pony to two griffons the size of a Bus. Celestria’s eyes opened to see who the leader was but when she found out who it was, she literally became frozen in fear. Luna and Twilight Sparkle were also afraid. The Leader behind this attack was Dark Plague, a legendary figure from Ancient Equestrian times. ‘Good evening mares and gentlecolts…..’ Dark Plague said sarcastically ‘We are tonight’s entertainment!’ Palace guards charged towards Plague. Plague’s soldiers then protected their king from harm by defeating the guards quickly. Celestria rose out of her throne and walked down the steps that lead her to her throne. ‘I know why you’re here Plague, you might as well tell everypony here who you are.’ The Guests don’t know a thing about Dark Plague except Twilight and Luna, who knew about Plague’s Existence from old history books. Plague laughed. ‘You will find out in good time everypony. Let’s just say I’m a butler and Equestria is the Estate. I answer the door, I clean up the Estate’ Plague then pointed his hoof towards Celestria ‘and I take out the trash.’ Celestria could not stand plague anymore; she charged up almost all her magic and shot it at plague. Plague just stood still and a moment before the beam hit him, he raised his hoof and deflected it like it was nothing. Celestria was absolutely terrified. Plague had nearly killed her twice, the first time since her betrayal and the second time by the warriors of equestria. She hoped that the 3rd time wasn’t the charm for plague. Celestria began to notice that she could not move, she wondered why but then noticed plague’s horn, which was glowing. She was trapped. A large green sphere then formed around the sun princess and restricted the princess’s divine strength, magic and flight. Celestria felt her life-force being stripped away and collapsed unconscious. ‘SISTER!!’ Luna screamed to Celestria. Dark Plague laughed and flew into the air. ‘Don’t worry luna, you will have the fun trying to stop me. I think I’m going to enjoy this.’ Plague laughed again and teleported along with the rest of his army and the aura around the castle disappeared, Celestria was kidnapped by Plague. Luna was worried. I need about 8 ponies who think they have what it takes to rescue my sister and stop that monster known as Plague. After that, I will tell you everything about plague.
Rainbow Dash flies up to Princess Luna "Princess? I'll help you find your sister if you want? But... who WAS that?"
‘Ok,allow me to explain about plague.’ One night about 800 years ago, a baby was found abandoned on the palace doors. The baby was brought to Celestria because I was still banished on the moon. Celestria then accepted the child as her son and student. That baby is now known as plague but me and my sister know his real name. Overtime, the baby grew and began to display tremendous amounts of magical power. Celestria was astonished about his magic levels and began to teach the child alongside some of Equestria’s greatest magic teachers. The Child became Celestria’s secret weapon as he single handedly destroyed the Zebra army that was invading at the time. It wasn’t until later that plague found out about his family history. Plague was from a long forgotten 4th race that used to live inside secret underground citys. He also met his birth parents in one of the citys. But when he went to visit the city the second time, his entire race was eradicated by my sisters soliders. Plague could not ever forgive what happened to his race, he was basically lied to his entire life. I don’t know exactly what had happened, but something inside him had snapped Plague then eradicated entire cities under my sister’s control; he slaughtered literally millions and millions of innocent civilians and far more soldiers. When he got to the Canterlot palace, he saw Celestria crying as if she was sorry about what she done. Plague tried to kill her anyway and nearly succeeded when Celestria froze him into a stone tablet. He remained like that for the next 500 years. He has broken out a few times and has tried to usurp my sisters rule, but has been failed by her and some of her former students. If you can help me find my sister, i will grant you anything you desire. Thank you Rainbow Dash..
'She must be in a temple that my sister found. It's Located South from here,inside a mountain.' Luna said
"there are, and it's about 4 days walk from here. Plague has made it so that teleportation is impossible" luna replied
"Sorry, but Plague has made that extremely difficult. Plague's men would shoot you out of the sky the moment they see you." Luna said sadly
"I know a pony who would supply you with weapons and armor, he is located in canterlot. Just tell him that i have sent you, everything would be on the house." Luna said to Twilight. Trust me, you would need them."
"Sorry about this, i will grant you as much assistance as i can. I hope you can make it there in one peace, good luck." ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Celestria was beginning to wake up inside a green sphere. Her magic and divine strength was useless as the sphere sucked away all her life energy. She began to notice her surroundings, only to notice that she recognized none of them. She was inside a ancient temple, surrounded by statue’s and pictures. Inside the temple was a large throne, she instantly got the idea that this was a palace and there was a civilization that she had destroyed. Plague walked out the shadows and into Celestria’s line of view. ‘Look who’s awake, if it isn’t the princess of Equestria….’ Plague began to mock Celestria. ‘Your elements of harmony won’t save you now, nor would your army. Nopony has been inside this palace for 800 years….. You should know all about that.’ Celestria felt large amounts of guilt and regret. If this never had happened, Plague would have never killed all those ponies. ‘Plague, I’m sorry….. I never knew about this attack against your race…. I wo-‘ ‘YOU LIE!!!’ Plague screamed to Celestria. ‘You and I both know that!’ Celestria was beginning to cry. ‘Plague stop this, I know you have tried to kill me twice but your plan fails each time….’ Plague began to laugh like a maniac. ‘And who’s going to stop me this time? Whats the use fighting when I can just escape each time you imprison me.’ Celestria was serious now. ‘Your going to die this time, if you really wish to meet your end in battle, then me and my sister will perform the last rites for you.’ ‘Your sister is not as strong as you, but she does have a tactical mind.’ Plague thought about his next move carefully. ‘Im a good message sender, which town should I attack first.’ Plague said to Celestria. ‘PLAGUE DON’T!!!’ Celestria was beginning to panic. ‘IF YOU HURT A SINGLE PONY I’ll’ ‘You’ll what? You can’t lay a hoof on me even if you’re out the sphere.’ Plague then muttered a ancient language under his breath and a legion of his artificial army appeared out of thin air. Plague once had to rely on his army being created from a large rain cloud but can now create them out of sheer will power. His army included his foot soldiers known as ‘Hybrids’, Ponies that are the size of a car known as ‘Tanks’ and the Infamous Griffons that have 15 inch claws and are freakishly strong and fast known as ‘Angels’ which is a tall and long as a bus. Plague then muttered more words under his breath and his army charged to the closest city. The Infection was going to begin once again.
‘Sorry, but I have to remain here in the palace. The moment I leave, Plague would send soldiers to kill me. Anyway, his name is Armour Shine. He lives not very far from the palace so he is within a good trotting distance from here.’ Luna said. ‘Anyway, i wish you the best. Thank you.’
"Ok twilight" After they had been to see armour shine, they set off at a slow pace, so they could see everything.
"Ah.. You have arrived. I was told you would make it here, now how can i help you." Armor Shine said to Twilight and Rainbow Dash.
