After the Aerial Relay race rematch, Twilight and Spike are accompanied by her friends Applejack, Rarity, Pinkie Pie and the CMC's along with two royal guards as they started to head towards the Crystal Empire train station. "I can't believe Ponyville won!", Apple Bloom said happily, "Yeah, not only did Ponyville beat Cloudsdale on the medal count!", Sweetie Belle added, "But also at the Aerial relay race too!", Scootaloo also added. "You three were really wonderfull back there. But does anypony know where Fluttershy and Rainbow Dash might be?", Twilight asked hoping to celebrate with all of her friends. "Well, I recon those two might be at the train station by now", Applejack said. "And with the rest of the team Ponyville of course", Rarity added. "Well then, what are WE waiting for LET'S GO THERE AND CELEBRATE!!", Pinkie Pie said cheerfully as they made their way towards the train station.
Meanwhile at the Crystal Empire train station, Fluttershy and Rainbow Dash are with the rest of team Ponyville. "Yeah yeah I know I'm awesome", Rainbow Dash said flaunting her medals as she and the rest of team Ponyville are waiting from the Train Station. "Ahem", Fluttershy and Thunderlane both said. "I-I mean WE were awesome", Rainbow Dash corrected herself. "YEEAAH!", Bulk Biceps said. "That's better, Fluttershy said.
After the Aerial relay race rematch, Soarin and the rest of team Cloudsdale flew out of the arena and started to head towards the train station. "I can't believe we came in 2nd", Fleetfoot said. "Well, that Rainbow Dash sure is something alright", Spitfire said. "She sure is", Soarin said. "Well we're gonna have to train extra harder next time. Not only did Ponyville beat us in the medal count last time and this time but they beat us in the relay race too", Spitfire announced as they arrive at the train station.
"Anyways hey Crash, we have practice after we get back to Cloudsdale so Don't be late", Spitfire said. "WHAT?! COME ON. We literally just finished the Equestria Games. Can't we at least wait until tomorrow and after we finish resting our hooves?", Rainbow Dash said. "Sorry Crash, but we have a lot of practicing to do especially after our performance at the games and we have an upcoming show at this year's grand galloping gala". "Okay so first of all I wasn't even on your team." "Yeah, Neither was I", Thunderlane agreed." "um girls", Fluttershy whispered. "And second what performance", Rainbow Dash Argued. "Girls", Fluttershy whispered again. "Keep talking back and your gonna be on stall duty for the next few months. Everyone continued taking until Fluttershy whisper yelled, "GIRLS!". "WHAT!", Rainbow Dash and Spitfire said impatiently. "The train's leaving". "WHAT!", everypony said as they looked at the train in the distance. "Well why didn't you say anything?", Rainbow Dash said. "Well I was trying to tell you guys but you were to busy arguing so you didn't hear me", Fluttershy said softly yet firm. "Well don't just stand there go after it", Spitfire said as she and the other Wonderbolts left. "Awww COME ONNN", Rainbow Dash whined as they left.
Meanwhile Twilight and her friends had arrived just in time at the train station. "There you are you two", Applejack said. "Oh hey Twilight what are doing here?", Rainbow Dash asked. "Well Rainbow Dash I was hoping that we could finally catch up and celebrate together", Twilight said hoping Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy would join but that hope was lost when they both said, "Sorry Twi. But I gotta go. apparently I gotta go and catch up with Spitfire", Rainbow Dash said as she zoomed off to catch up with the other Wonderbolts. "Oh sorry Twilight, but I have go to take the songbirds back home to the sanctuary. so maybe next time", Fluttershy said as she board's the train with her songbirds that had just arrived. "Bye then I guess", Twilight frowned. "Well I guess it's just us then", Applejack said. Twilight gave sigh of disappointment as she was looking forward on celebrating with all her friends to which they noticed. Umm, Twilight?", Apple Bloom said, "Are you ok?", Sweetie Belle added, "Cause you seem a bit disappointed." Scootaloo also added. "It's just that...I was really looking forward on finally spending time with all of my friends", Twilight said unhappy. "Aww cheer up darling, of course we still have each other right", Rarity said hoping to reassure Twilight.
"Hate to bein' the party pooper and all but where in equestria are we gonna celebrate", Applejack said curious. "OOOOO...is it gonna be at Canterlot?!...Sweet Apple Acres?!...or is it at SUGARCUBE CORNER?!", Pinkie Pie said excitedly. "Oh...just wait you'll see", Spike said smugly as the Train arrives with Twilight's dedicated car stopping at the exact spot from where she and her friends are standing. "Tada", Twilight said with a shy smile. Her friends, so impressed they were left but speechless. "I know it's a bit too much don't you think?", Twilight asked. "Are you kidding!, It's gorgeous!", Rarity answered as they all enter. "You said it Rarity", Applejack added. "Well since I can't exactly come with you to Ponyville to Celebrate, I figured why not just do it here. So are we gonna celebrate or what", Twilight said. "I dunno Does you're car come with a party button?", Pinkie Pie asked to which Spike smiled as he was conveniently standing right next to the button and pressed it as the train stated to move, the car was then filled with streamers, balloons, a disco ball and a table filled with the finest delicacies Canterlot has to offer. "LEEEEEET'S PARTY!!", Pinkie Pie said Cheerfully while firing her party cannon as a result everypony started to party and dance.
AFTER TWO HOURS OF PARTYING
After partying with her friends Twilight and Spike have finally arrive at the Canterlot Train Station her friends were there to see her off. "Darling are you sure you can't come with us to Ponyville?", Rarity Asked. "Yeah Twilight', Apple Bloom Added, "Pinkie Pie's gonna throw another party at Sugarcube Corner this evening", Sweetie Belle added, "And it's gonna be fun!", Scootaloo also added. "Although this time it's going to be with ALLL OF OUR FRIENDS!", Pinkie Pie said excitedly hoping Twilight and Spike would come until. "I would love to Pinkie, but I still got some unfinished business left with Fancy Pants plus I got dream duty this night", Twilight said. "How'bout you Spike?", Applejack asked. "Sorry girls,but I'll need to rest I got another friendship business to attend to for tomorrow ." Spike sadly refused also. "Oh okay then see ya next time", Pinkie Pie said cheerfully. "Bye guys", Spike and Twilight said as they both say their goodbyes to each other.
MEANWHILE AT THE CRYSTAL EMPIRE...
A mist with only a color of pure purple, entered the Crystal Empire. It then began to make it's way to the castle where the Crystal Heart is kept.
Anonymous Figure's P.O.V: As I continue my search for her. I shall bring about an eternal shroud of cold and darkness upon this place. Soon I will have her, soon I will be restored once again, soon...there will only be...MIDNIGHT.
It said as it struck the Crystal Heart with an unknown kind of magic. A guard then came in in order to make his rounds when he saw the Crystal Heart's light fading and that it's spinning more slow than usual, unaware of the mist that came in.
After the Equestria games at the Crystal Empire, Cadence is preparing Flurry Heart for the night. "Here you go Flurry", Cadence said as she gave Flurry her Whammy , to which Flurry gave a smile and a cooed happily to Cadence after. As she tucks in Flurry to her crib she immediately fell asleep soundly, Shining Armor then entered Flurry's room and asked Cadence softly. "Is she asleep?", to which she replied "Uh-huh",as they both walk out of Flurry Heart's bedroom.
"Well that went well at least", Shining Armor said. "You know. You guys came awfully a lot close to postponing the games", Cadence said with humor. "Well I'd say we'd pretty much handled everything well Regardless after the whole Flurry incident", Shining Armor said remembering what happened from the last few hours as he and Cadence both laughed a little. "Hey Shining?". "Yes Cadence". "Is it just me or is it a bit colder here in the castle than usual?", Cadence said. "Yeah but...why?", Shining Armor said as he felt cold too. Just then a guard came dashing through the hallway "Your Majesties", he said followed by a bow. "What's going on, why is it suddenly so cold in here?", Cadence asked while shivering. "I regret to inform you that the Crystal Heart's power...is fading!", the guard said while panting."WHAT!", they both exclaimed.
"Quickly, Shining Armor you need to evacuate every pony to the train station and away from the Empire while I go take care of Flurry Heart and send out a letter to Twilight", Cadence said firmly. Shining Armor nodded in agreement with Cadence as he along with two guards went on. As Cadence sends out a letter to Twilight seeking her help she then saw menacing snow clouds through the window already making it's way to descend upon the Empire.
Meanwhile at Canterlot. Twilight is on night duty currently dream walking. Twilight then noticed as one by one the dreams of the Crystal Ponies started disappearing except for Flurry Heart.
Twilight's P.O.V: I was currently at the Dream Realm, protecting ponies from their very nightmares. As I walk by the dreams of the crystal ponies I then noticed something Strange. I watched as one by one the dreams of the crystal ponies started to disappear, all except for one, Flurry Heart. I then began to suspect that something was wrong as the citizens of the Crystal Empire started to waking up this early at midnight all but except Flurry. I should ask Cadence and Shining Armor just in case and see if they both know anything about this.
Just as soon as she leaves the dream realm, a letter came in from the Crystal Empire. it was from Princess Cadence and it says;
Dear Princess Twilight Sparkle
It is with great regret to inform you that the Crystal Heart's power is somehow fading away, we do not have yet the information on as to how it began but i fear that the Empire will soon be shrouded with eternal winter. I am so sorry to ask this of you but we need every pony's help in solving whatever's causing the Crystal Heart's power to fade. Please come as soon as possible.
Sincerely Princess Cadence.
After reading Cadence's letter, Twilight immediately raised the sun a little early than usual waking everypony including Spike in the process. Spike woke up rubbing his eyes, followed by a yawn and asked slightly annoyed, "Twilight!, why in equestria would you raise the sun up this early?!"."Its the Crystal Empire Spike, Something's wrong with the Crystal Heart. Cadence says that it's power is fading", Twilight said frantically while looking for answers. "Wait. I thought the Crystal Heart's power comes from the light and love given by the Crystal ponies. How could its power just fade away?", Spike asked confused. "I don't know Spike, but what I do know is that Cadence needs every pony's help. So Spike I need you to send out a letter to my friends including Starlight and Sunburst, tell them to meet me in the Canterlot Train Station", Twilight said firmly. As Spike was writing and sending out letters, Twilight went ahead to look for answers at the Canterlot Library. Her friends Applejack, Rainbow Dash, Rarity, Pinkie Pie, Fluttershy, Starlight, and Sunburst all received letters telling them to meet Twilight at the Canterlot Train Station to which they all nodded in agreement and packed up for their trip.
Meanwhile back at the Crystal Empire...
Shining Armor along with two crystal guards came in dashing through the hall way and into the castle's throne room where Cadence and flurry Heart are currently at. "We can't evacuate the crystal ponies, the train station is already covered along with the tracks with mountains of snow!". Shining Armor said while shivering. "Then we must get every pony inside the castle for the remaining time", Cadence said. Shining Armor nodded in agreement and went on again outside. "THIS WAY TO THE CASTLE!!", Shining Armor announced as he leads them towards the Castle. As every pony is entering the castle, Shining Armor stayed behind to make sure everyone has entered and safe. "Oh, Twily please hurry", Shining Armor said before he enters and lock's the castle doors.
