A day as always in Ponyville, quiet and nothing out of the ordinary, it seemed that it was a day in which nothing would happen, Applejack was walking calmly with Big Mac, and they had some apples to sell, the day seemed very calm and happy, Pinkie Pie bumped into Applejack, and greeted her cheerfully as Pinkie usually did.

- Applejack, I'll need some apples.

- Okay, and what will you do with them, friend?

- A great surprise apple pie! - Pinkie said excited.

- A surprise apple pie! And now what are you celebrating?

- It's for Derpy. - Pinkie said

- It's her birthday? Applejack asked.

-No, I think it was something to do with seeing six shooting stars passing together at the same time. - Pinkie said.

- Are you serious?! It sure was a very amazing show for her.

- If so - she said. So I'll make you the best apple pie I can! Can you imagine seeing six shooting stars at the same time? Those are like many wishes. - Pinkie said with great joy

Rarity approaches them, but she did not look very good or glamorous as was usually for her, she seemed tired, as if she had not slept well, Applejack, seeing her so tired, asks her if she was feeling well.

- The best you can after last night's scandal. - Rarity claimed with an angry face.

- What scandal? - Pinkie asked.

- Didn't you hear it? It seemed like they were building in the middle of the night, those intense pounding and squeaking robbed me of my beautifying sleep.

- Yes, that seems to have happened to you. - Pinkie said, and Rarity looked at her with a bit of anger for her comment.

Shortly after Rarity, Applejack and Pinkie go to Twilight's castle, to ask her if she knew what those noises were that had kept Rarity from sleeping. But upon arrival they saw that both Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy were with her, but she looked very sad, crying inconsolably.

- What happened to you, sugarcube?! - Applejack asked with great concern for Fluttershy.

- Fluttershy had problems with the animals she cared for. - Twilight said.

- Fluttershy dear, whatever happened to you we will help you solve it. - Rarity said with her sleepy face

- What kind of problem makes you cry like that, friend ?! Asked Applejack.

- All the animals fled and I can't find them, not even Angel! Maybe I didn't take good care of them and they abandoned me! - Fluttershy said through tears.

- Don't worry, you'll see that everyone will return - Rainbow Dash said to reassure her.

- Surely that was why thunderous sounds last night. - Rarity affirmed.

- What sounds? - Twilight asked.

- Nobody in Ponyville heard them !? They were terribly annoying and unbearable! Like metals striking each other and thunderous creaks.

- I didn't hear anything last night, it was very quiet. - Fluttershy said.

"It doesn't hurt to investigate," Twilight said.

Shortly after, Twilight and her friends go to Fluttershy's house and try to find the animals she cared for, but after hours of searching they find nothing, Rarity asks if it wasn't because of those sounds that she had heard at night, Twilight He thought that was a possibility, however, no one else had heard those sounds in Ponyville. After spending all day trying to find the animals and the night is present.

- I think we will have to leave the search and investigation for tomorrow. - Twilight said

- But how am I going to be able to sleep without friends? - Fluttershy said very sadly

- If you want you can stay with me, Fluttershy. - Rainbow Dash said.

- Thanks Rainbow, but I'll stay here, maybe they'll come back.

- Anything, we will be there for you friend, whatever you need. - Applejack said to which Fluttershy thanked her.

The next morning. In Sweet Apple Acres, Applejack watched with great fear an inexplicable event, and something terrible for both her and her family. All the trees on her farm were dry, without leaves or apples, as if they had dried up years ago. Her grandmother and brothers were incredulous at such a heinous event, everything had gone and died in Sweet Apple Acres, the land of the place seemed to be contaminated, by a fine and powdery substance in shades of metallic green. This put the Apple family very bad, quickly Applejack ran with Twilight to tell her what happened on her farm.

Upon reaching the castle of the Princess of Friendship, she saw the other ponies with her except for Rarity. Without asking or saying more, Applejack went to Twilight and told her what happened at Sweet Apple Acres.

- That's terrible, I can't believe what's happening in Ponyville.

- First, the friendship map stopped working, then Pinkie arrives telling me that she couldn't sleep because of the metallic sounds Rarity had heard, and now Rarity doesn't appear.

- Wait, Rarity is missing. Yeah, we don't know what happened, Spike insisted on organizing his search, so I let him do it as I try to figure out what's going on. - Twilight said with great concern. - And it also seems that all of Fluttershy's animals appeared. - Twilight said, looking upset, but trying to stay calm.

Applejack turns to see Fluttershy, who was totally stunned, like in total shock.

- What happened to the animals? Applejack asked in great anguish.

- They were found near their house all skinless and dry, all together, arranged in a circle. - Twilight answered quickly and with a broken voice.

- That was something very difficult to see. - Rainbow Dash said disturbed.

- It can not be true. - Applejack replied

Rarity said I hear those weird sounds and no one else heard them in Ponyville and then it disappeared, and now I heard it all night, what if I disappear later? - Pinkie said very scared.

- Do not panic Pinkie, you will see that Rarity will appear fine and we will find a solution to almost everything ... - Twilight said as she saw Fluttershy still in that state she was shocked by witnessing the atrocious scene.

At that, Discord appears and says ... Fluttershy Where were you supposed to see you today, my friend?

- HEY YOU! SURE EVERYTHING THAT IS HAPPENING IS YOUR FAULT! - Rainbow Dash said furious.

Wait! Stop there, what's up ?! Today I was going to help Fluttershy with some things… - Discord sees Fluttershy in her shock - But what happens to Fluttershy?

"All the animals I was taking care of are dead," Twilight replied to Discord.

- It's a joke, right? - Discord said incredulous of what Twilight said.

- DOES IT MAKE YOU SEEM A DISCORD JOKE !? LOOK LIKE THIS FLUTTERSHY, CAN'T EVEN TALK! - Rainbow Dash exclaimed.

- Also Rarity disappeared and all the trees of Sweet Apple Acres dried up, you have no idea what could have caused all this, Discord? - Twilight asked Discord.

- Do you really think this is my doing? I wouldn't do something like that. - Discord answered. - I would never do something that would hurt my friend like this!

- Wasn't it really you Discord? - said Applejack

- Of course it wasn't me! (Discord said angrily) I'll even help them see what's happening, whoever messes with my friend will deal with me. - Discord said threateningly.

- For my part I will inform Princess Celestia of what happened, maybe she knows something. - Twilight said.

- I'll help you with what I can, Fluttershy can't be like this. - Discord said and suddenly Pinkie yells.

- The noises…! Sorry, I fell asleep.

- Noises? Discord asked.

- Yes, some metal hitting and grinding that didn't let me sleep through the night.

- And you didn't see what caused it? Discord asked.

- Now that you mention it, I don't remember getting up to see what those sounds were. - Pinkie replied.

- Pinkie, you will stay with me today as a precaution. - Twilight said to Pinkie.

The day passes, but they found no answers, Rarity was nowhere to be found, and they had no clue about the dead animals. When night came, we had more than to stop the search for Rarity because they had no more places to look for her and there was no clue about her, as if she had vanished out of nowhere. Twilight had received a reply very late from Celestia, and she told him in the letters she sent, that strange things were also happening in Canterlot, as well as in other places in Equestria, for which they could find no logical explanation or clues of what the caused. Twilight, not knowing what else to do, is taking care of Pinkie, running out of sleep, and thinking about what was happening in Equestria.

The hours pass meanwhile Applejack who slept soundly, after a great emotional charge that tormented her throughout that day, invaded by worry, and the fear she had for Rarity, Fluttershy and what happened in Sweet Apple Acres, were a lot for she, because all day she was trying to find some answer to those events. Until at a certain hour in the morning she began to hear the metallic sounds described by her friends Pinkie and Rarity. Bumping, grinding, bumping, grinding; Constantly and without stopping, they were sounds that hurt his ears and did not allow him to sleep, at that moment Applejack remembered what Pinkie said, that she did not know because she had not gotten up to see what was happening.

In that, she tries to open her eyes and get up, but her body did not react, she felt her mind detach from her body when trying to wake up, she did not know what was happening and an atrocious fear invaded her body. But that did not stop her from trying to wake up, she opened her eyes, and what she saw was a great glow which was slowly fading showing around her the vast cosmos, as well as some planets which were collapsing causing a huge explosion as she turned and I saw on the other side a kind of amorphous-looking structure, with multiple luminescent orbs in multiple tones that seemed to radiate concentrated light to those two colliding planets, at that moment Applejack manages to wake up, to see that everything was quiet at night, I don't know he saw nothing unusual and the metallic sounds were gone, and he thought it was just a nightmare caused by what happened that day.

Quickly, Applejack left her house and ran directly with Twilight, as she had a strong concern for her, as she ran she observed six orbs in the sky that formed a circle moving throughout Ponyville, that filled her with terror, but she continued towards him. Twilight's castle, but upon arrival, he saw another set of orbs radiating rays of light onto the castle. Quickly, Applejack entered and what she saw was something that left her paralyzed with fear, she reached a point of almost fainting from what she was contemplating, and she was crying because what she saw had no explanation for her. It was Twilight, or so it seemed, the whole interior of the castle looked very different, with very rare artifacts for her and made up of throbbing materials, at the center of everything was Twilight but it was only her head, supported by strange devices that seemed a strange a mixture of wood and meat with a metallic greenish glow, Twilight's head also had needles of some kind of artifact stuck that extracted and injected mysterious substances into it, it was connected to various tubes that seemed to keep her alive, her vital organs were also exposed and connected between them with tubes of black color and that seemed to be composed of some material similar to meat, Applejack saw how Twilight's lungs and heart moved and twisted, Twilight's head had her eyes open and this moved erratically in different directions. He also managed to see Spike, who was in a kind of capsule filled with a substance that glowed blue and that there were also needles that were injected multiple times and in different parts of Spike's body, who seemed to be sleeping and floating in this substance in fetal position.

- WHAT'S GOING ON HERE?! - Applejack yelled, crying when she saw the terrifying scene.

At that moment, Twilight's head reacts and tells her in a guttural, robotic voice. - Don't be scared friend, they have come to help us, everything that has been happening is for us, they are our friends. Trust me, I am the Princess of friendship.

- WHO CAME!? AND WHAT ARE THEY DOING TO YOU ?! - Applejack said disturbed and scared.

- They are helping me to improve, fear not, you will also be improved. - Said the strange Twilight.

- WHAT DO YOU SAY?! HOW IS THAT GOING TO BE AN IMPROVEMENT ?! DON'T YOU SEE WHAT THEY HAVE DONE TO YOU !? - Applejack said desperately.

- Yes, they are improving me, and I will be the new princess in another world, a better one, look at the circle in the night sky, a light will fall, enter it and they will receive you as a guest of honor, they are our friends, come to them and be part of them, treat them equally. Just look at the circle. - Twilight's head said with that horrible robotic voice.

Applejack yelled at him. - YOU ARE NOT TWILIGHT!

- Do it for your own good, you don't want to upset our guests, they came from far away. - Twilight's strange head said seriously.

- THEY ARE MONSTERS!

- They are not, just know them, you will like them. - Twilight's head said.

- Where's Pinkie and Rarity ?! What did they do to them ?! - Applejack asked at Twilight's head.

- Pinkie is with them, there was not enough space here for her, she is being improved, just like Rainbow Dash. - Twilight's head said with a smile.

- And Rarity ?! - Applejack asked so Twilight's head told her that they had failed with her.

- Did they fail? What do you mean by that?! WHAT HAPPENED TO RARITY ?!

- They failed, I already told you. Please Applejack, come out and see the circle at the top of the castle, accept them, it's all they want.

- WHOEVER YOU ARE YOU'RE CRAZY! - Applejack yelled and then ran out of the castle, shouting from the rooftops, alerting the ponies to what was happening. For them to leave Ponyville as fast as they could, while she ran quickly to her farm to alert her family and try to protect herself within it.

Upon arriving at her home, she alerts Big Mac to secure doors and windows, as strange beings were prowling Ponyville and seemed to have malicious intentions. But then it begins to shake, the whole house seemed to vibrate loudly, but it was not that it was shaking, the house was beginning to levitate, as if an external force was lifting it with such force that it made it tremble. Apple Bloom and Grandma Smith go down as fast as they could and with the help of Applejack and Big Mac, they manage to escape from the house which kept rising and at the top there was a light that shone in the center of six orbs. And the more asubia it is, little by little it was dismantled and being absorbed by a kind of luminescent vortex, Applejack carried Apple Bloom and Big Mac to Grandma Smith while they fled, Grandma Smith and Apple Bloom only watched with confusion, great pain and fear , as his farm and home were ravaged by those orbs in the sky.

- WHAT'S GOING ON?! - Big Mac asked.

- I DO NOT KNOW! I SWEAR I DON'T KNOW! I JUST KNOW WE HAVE TO GET AWAY FROM THOSE THINGS IN HEAVEN! - Applejack said while crying. They ran to get away from Ponyville but in front of them a great luminescent orb appeared, this was immense, as big as a house, two very strange-looking beings came out of it, they were not beings of this world that Applejack had clear, his Heads were elongated and not like cylinders, with two orbs of metallic green tones, in the shape of eyes, they had quadruped bodies but instead of legs they had hundreds of tentacles that did not seem to separate, their trunks were fungiform in appearance, with different metallic tones and they also had two extremities, the left one was like a kind of sharp and sharp pincer, the other had a kind of three elongated fingers with spheres at the tips.

Applejack and her Family were shocked to see the terrifying and confusing event, after those beings left the orb, Twilight also came out of it but her head supported with a mechanism with I learned of flesh and wood pulsing in metallic tones to her body and also her limbs seemed to be separated by mechanisms of the same nature, Rainbow Dash also comes out of the orb, but she had no wings and her head seemed to be divided from the part of the jaw and the joints showed a green glow, just like where There should be Rainbow Dash's wings, then Pinkie Pie comes out, who walked with her hind legs, her eyes seemed to lack eyelids and in them she had a kind of mechanism on her head that dripped a greenish substance on them, she did not have her front legs , his stomach and chest seemed to have an immense scar as if he had opened it completely, in his mouth he carried a handle that carried a large capsule of the fleshy material and this strange thing, and what seemed to be crystal, contained a brain floating in a blue substance, which had several needles stuck that seemed to keep the brain alive inside the extra capsule.

Applejack and her family invaded by an atrocious fear could only think of fleeing, but the orb blocked the nearest way out of Ponyville and if they wanted to flee they would have to go through Ponyville.

- Come on Applejack, you and your family have nothing to fear, nothing bad will happen to you. - Said what appeared to be Twilight with that terrifying voice.

- WHAT WAS THEY DID TO MY FRIENDS !? - Applejack exclaimed to strange beings

- They're improving us. - Rainbow Dash said with a voice similar to Twilight's.

- TO GET BETTER?! LOOK WHAT RAINBOW DASH DID YOU, YOU DON'T HAVE WINGS!

- They'll give me new and better ones.

- And FLUTTERSHY ?! WHERE IS SHE ?!

- She is here, don't you recognize her, silly? - Said the strange Pinkie Pie with that creepy voice that the others had and apparently the floating brain was Fluttershy's,

- Her body was damaged a bit, so they will give her a new one, but as long as she is ready, she will be like this. - The bizarre Pinkie said with her terrifying voice.

- THEY ARE MONSTERS!

- Applejack don't run away anymore, and come with us, we'll be fine if we're together. - Twilight said.

Enter it and accept our guests, they want the best for us. - Rainbow Dash said as she pointed to the orb of light. Later in the distance they begin to hear screams from other ponies, asking for help and fleeing from other orbs that came down from the skies.

- You don't want to help us! - Applejack exclaimed to the strange beings

- Do not yell at them, those are only like machines, the travelers are inside the orb, we are asking you nicely, enter with them, they are our friends. - Said the strange Twilight.

- LET'S RUN AWAY! Applejack said, and Big Mac, who was shitting Granny Smith, didn't hesitate to follow her.

As I ran, I only heard Twilight say, - Remember we asked you in a good way. –

At that moment, the orb begins to expand, while strange beings followed them to catch them, spreading their limbs, while Applejack and her family tried to flee through Ponyville, they could see that more orbs surrounded the whole place, and more descending from them one of those strange beings violently taking away ponies that did not want to enter voluntarily, with their strange limbs with spheres they grabbed them and threw them at the orbs, while with what looked like pincers he mutilated them if they insisted on clinging to something.

Applejack told Apple Bloom not to open his eyes, not to open his eyes for all he wanted, Applejack managed to contemplate multiple lights in the distance, like lightning bolts in the distant skies, it was Cloudsdale, which was consumed by the lights, and. Little by little it disappeared into the night sky, Applejack and her family continued to flee, as they approached a road that led to Canterlot, the only place that seemed safe, one of the beings catches the one leg of Big Mac, which falls along with Grandma Smith, who was taken by another of the beings. In a desperate attempt to save Big Mac, Granny Smith tries to bite the limb that was holding Big Mac, but is soon forked by one of the beings and thrown into the orb, Big Mac only goes so far as to tell Applejack not to look back. and let it continue before being thrown into the great orb.

With great fear, closing her eyes and through tears, Applejack told Apple Bloom not to turn to look, not to open her eyes, while she continued running out of Ponyville and into the darkness that covered the road to Canterlot which was her hope to save herself and her sister from those orbs.

Suddenly a great light begins to be seen in the distance, it was Canterlot, from a distance it was possible to see flaming explosions, which destroyed the castle, enveloping it in a great blanket of flames. At that moment Applejack stops, she had totally lost hope of reaching safety, and did not know if she would be able to keep her sister and herself safe from the attack of those vile beings from the stars, who stalked Ponyville and seemingly all of Equestria. Through tears, Applejack hugged Apple Bloom who is totally terrified, watching her hope of survival burn fiercely.

- I'm going to protect you little sister, I don't know how, but I'm going to take care of you. - Said Applejack who continued to contemplate with horror the kingdom of Canterlot being destroyed by flames, while hundreds of orbs continued to descend from the skies.

Some hours later, Rarity wakes up, in her bed and at home, she did not know anything about what happened, and she only felt some minor pains in her body, she thought she had slept badly, so she woke up normally and got ready to go out to see her friends, as was the custom for her, but when she opened the door she was bitterly surprised to see that all of Ponyville had been razed, her house was the only one standing and the sun and the sky remained in the sky. moon up at the same time, while she thought she was in the middle of a terrible nightmare, but nevertheless everything that surrounded her was a horrible and cruel reality.
