Chapter 1 – Previously…
Previously on My Little Pony…
Twilight: It has been a few months since I became the newest princess of Equestria, after I completed the Great Starswirl the Bearded's spell to help my friends realise their destinies and my adventures I had in the human realm with the human forms of my friends and the battle against Sunset Shimmer. I wasn't sure if I was going to be a great princess, but from those adventures I felt more comfortable about my newfound royal duties. So today I have decided to have a proper celebration gala of my coronation as a princess at the Crystal Empire, so I have now have to decide whom to invite.
Discord: I am so honoured to be a guest at your gala, Princess Twilight Sparkle. Fluttershy asked me if I wanted to come and I knew someday you would be a princess like Celestia and Luna. Where are they anyway?
Princess Cadance: They had an important meeting to attend back at Canterlot Castle, but they will be along later. Oh you must be Discord, it is nice to meet you.
Twilight: Trixie!
Trixie: Twilight! I'm so thrilled you invited me to the party.
[Twilight bumps into Flash]
Flash Sentry: We got to stop bumping into each other like this. Hello, Princess Twilight.
Carnival Cat: Come along ponies, come and play with me. You will see amazing things….
Guard: Who goes there?
Queen Chrysalis: For the Elements of Harmony, hahahahaha!
[Thunder strikes and evil laughter]
Sweetie Belle: What's going on?
[Chrysalis appears and Fluttershy screams]
Discord: Fluttershy!
Rainbow Dash: Hey let me go!
Flash: Who are you?
Cat: I'm Carnival Cat.
Chrysalis: Let me introduce you to my ally.
Cadance: Malice!
Trixie: Who?
Cadance: The son of King Sombra.
[Twilight and Flash arrive in Ponyville after their friends have been captured]
Twilight: The Everfree Forest! That's where the others must have been taken.
[Malice and Chrysalis have the Mane 5 after they attempted to escape]
Flash: Why are you doing this?
Malice: To get revenge on all Equestria and rule Equestria! Now Cat, it is your turn. Give me your worst fear.
Cat: What?! No, this can't be happening! Why did you use me?
Chrysalis: Because little Cat, we used your worst fear of losing your loved one against your will. In order to do our bidding, so now you're useless.
[Changeling Army attacks Cat and they escape]
Celestia: Carnival Cat's real name was Catherine. She was a kind, innocent, fun loving pony. She was curious about what was happening in the world. Then one fateful day, Catherine and her love met at the park and they agreed to go on the Ferris wheel one last time. However a stray cat bumped the controls and caused a malfunction. It made the Ferris wheel go awry and the accident killed her lover. Catherine had become completely insane and she couldn't turn back and had lost everything. She returned to the carnival where her love had died. She blamed herself for his death.
Cat: Can you ever forgive me?
Twilight: We forgive you, Cat. We will be your friends.
Cat: Oh, well I've… never had any friends before.
Discord: Well now you do. We'll teach you about the magic of friendship. Ready to give it a try?
[After their hour of play, Spike, Trixie, Cat, Discord and the CMC arrive in the library to meet up with Twilight, Flash and the others]
Celestia: We have found information about Malice and the New Elements of Harmony. According to the book, Malice was a normal black alicorn who was kind and helpful to everypony. But as he was growing up his father King Sombra didn't like the way he was acting towards them. He provided him with a cold and heartless upbringing.
Luna: His special talent was to inspire the dark emotions of fear, anger, hatred, and suffering into the hearts of others and use it to manipulate them and make them do his bidding. Just like his father was.
Scootaloo: What about the New Elements of Harmony?
Twilight: According to the legend, the New Elements of Harmony were scattered across the land, and Malice found them and kept them in his dark castle, where he is keeping Applejack, Rainbow Dash, Rarity, Pinkie and Fluttershy. These elements contain the spirits of determination, heroism, bravery, showmanship, enthusiasm, patience, faith and supportiveness.
Cadance: Combined together with the main Elements of Harmony, they will become the Elements of True Harmony.
Apple Bloom: Amazing, so not only it will defeat Malice but it will defeat Chrysalis as well.
[Luna gives Twilight the chest containing the Elements of Harmony and she puts on her crown containing the Element of Magic, and the group sets off on their journey]
Spike: But how do we know if the girls are all right. What something bad happens to them?
Cat: My pet Sludge can help.
[Sludge comes towards them]
Cat: Listen Sludge we need your help.
Twilight: Malice and Chrysalis have captured our friends.
Trixie: We need you to sneak into his castle at Galloping Gorge and see where our friends are.
Discord: If they are all right, make speed back to us but do not be seen.
[Sludge makes her way to Malice's dark castle]
Flash: We better get moving we got to get to Malice's castle tonight and find the New Elements.
Malice: So those fools want to challenge me and rescue their friends and find the New Elements? Not on my hooves.
Chrysalis: We will set a few obstacles for them.
[Maniacal laughter and the team sets off into the dark forest]
