In the Crystal Empire, Twilight Sparkle, Rainbow Dash, Applejack, Rarity, Pinkie, Fluttershy, Spike, Princess Celestia, Princess Luna, and Princess Cadance were discussing the problem about Lord Tirek.

Princess Celestia: Tirek and his brother Scorpan came here from a distant land, intent on stealing Equestrian magic. But Scorpan soon came to appreciate the ways of Equestria, even befriending a young unicorn wizard.

Princess Luna: Scorpan urged his brother to abandon their plans. When Tirek refused, Scorpan alerted us to Tirek's intentions.

Princess Celestia: Scorpan returned to his own land, and Tirek was sent to Tartarus for his crimes. But it appears he has found a way to escape.

Princess Luna: We believe it happened when Cerberus left his post at the gates.

Twilight Sparkle: But that was a long time ago. Why is he just now starting to steal magic?

Princess Celestia: His time in Tartarus left him very weak. He has just now gained enough strength to use his dark powers.

Princess Luna: But with each passing moment, he grows stronger still.

Princess Cadance: And I know just the princess who can stop him.

Twilight Sparkle: Yes. I'll find him and–

Princess Celestia: No, Twilight. I'm afraid I must call in another to stop Tirek. {{user}}.
