Indie sighs and figures he's not getting out of this unless something spectacular happens. He sits in silence and nothing happens.

Sigh. Better get this over with.

He begins to explain about the hardship that him and his two friends went through. He explains the loses and what has been gained.

"But I'll never forget Celestia's face when we left." He puts on a giant grin, "The way she looked defeated was a great change."

Twilight who had been grinding her teeth finally outburst, "I don't believe you! Celestia would never do such a thing! She is a kind hearted pony! She would have no need to do such things!"

Indie shakes his head.

"He was right. Ponies and Humans are the same. Both blind to the truth."

Twilight's horn glows a bright purple.

"Take. It. Back."

Applejack walks in front of Twilight and shakes her head.

"Twilight. I'm the element of honesty and I don't sense a shred of a lie in his words. I don't want to believe them but..."

"Are you telling me you're buying into that! What the hay Applejack!" The blue pegasus yells flying down and going into her face.

"He's obviously lying! He just knows how to shift his words to sound like the truth!"

"We don't know what Celestia does! Twilight. If you were given the chance to experiment on a spell that no pony knows what it does and you're afraid to try it out on some pony. Would you use it on something vulnerable and expendable."

"Well... yes, but this is different! These are sentient creatures we're talking about! Not some object!"

"Celestia didn't see a differences." Indie says scoffing, "We were many and now we are few. I remember someone saying we're going on strike against Celestia by not giving her new humans. Pretty much to end our hardship we we're going to let ourselves go extinct. Extinct. I remember when Markus told me that word too. Man did I ever feel bad for us. We have been brought so low to commit this. I guess now that we're free we could start everything over and go free those left at the dungeon."

"Where are the others than? The one's who came with you?" A new addition to the group Indie didn't notice.

This one was a earth pony and very pink. Yet she had a very saddened look on her face.

"Off in the forest probably wondering where I am. If they think I'm captured... Heh... Caleb probably going to burn this entire place down." He says matter of factly.

"Oh dear." The white unicorn and yellow pegasus says together.

"Well, no way we're letting that happen!" Twilight says, "We're not letting you go. I'm sending a letter to Princess Celestia right now about this!"

Indie tenses up.

"Don't you dare! It took me so long to get what I did down! I nearly died trying to get us out! There is no way I'm going back!"

Indie starts struggling at his bindings.

"Twilight... I really don't think we should tell Celestia." Applejack says taking a step towards her.

"Applejack! Are you serious! This creature probably wants to kill Celestia! And you are thinking of not telling her! I bet you want to set him free too don't you!" Rainbowdash yells at her.

"Now listen here! This creature has done nothing wrong! Plus he's endured a lot to get here! And now we've taken him away from his kind! If that ain't cruel I don't know what is!" Applejack yells back.

"Applejack. We're are talking about the princess. The princess! What you are talking about is going against the princess and I won't have that. You need to think better than what you are." Twilight says in a low cold tone.

"I am." Applejack goes behind Indie and bites down on the end of the rope and yanks freeing his hands of the binding.

Feeling the loosness Indie shoots up and runs.

"Stop right oof!"

Applejack has tackled Rainbowdash to the ground. Rainbowdash and Applejack wrestle on the ground. Twilight points her horn towards Indie as he runs for the stairs. The yellow pegasus flies in front of Twilight.

"I can't let you!" The pegasus says, "Its a creature not of our own. I can't let you hurt him."

"Fluttershy..." Twilight lowers her head, "Don't do this."

Fluttershy holds her ground both scared and confident about her actions. Indie has run up the stairs and immediately sees the door to the outside. He rushes through it to see the town of Ponyville and all of it's inhabitants staring at him. He looks around and sees the everfree forest not too far away. Or at least what he assumes is the Everfree. He breaks off into a run for it as an explosion comes from the tree house.


Discord sits on a cloud and watches the action. Though bound by his promise, it doesn't mean that he can use other means of spreading chaos. Nobody can keep things a secret forever from Discord. Discord chuckles as he watches Applejack and Rainbowdash roll out of the hole Twilight created with her blast.

"I smell chaos in the air."

He looks over at Indie.

"And I know how to make more."

With a devilish grin, he disappears in a pink poof with the words puff lingering where he was.


Markus and Caleb sits down in front of the roaring flame. That had traveled so far today. Its finally night and they don't have to worry about a thing. Until they realized someone was missing.

"Wonder what's keeping Indie so long." Markus wonders aloud.

"Probably had to go pee." Caleb says shrugging his shoulders.

"Or prehaps he's in trouble." A new voice says.

Markus and Caleb stand and face towards their visitor. Discord walks out from the shadows holding a glass of chocolate milk. He drinks the glass away and throws the milk away which causes an unseen explosion.

"Who the hell are you!?" Caleb asks pulling flames from the fire nearby.

"The name is Discord. And we've both have something in common here. We want to take back what has been stolen from us."

"What the hell are you?" Markus asks fascinated by the way Discord looks.

"I am a Draconequus something that has long been come down to only me. There used to be many of us, but that is a tale for another day. For now, you should know that your friend is in quite the pickle." He says forming a pickle from nowhere before taking a bite of it.

"What about him?"

"He seems to have gotten himself tied up and now he's running for his life."

"Take us to him!" Markus demands.

"With pleasure. I have things to discuss with all three of you as it so happens to be."


Lyra walks out of the store, her saddlebags filled with goodies. When she went in, the town was all talk. But now that she's out, its like someone has taken everyone's voice. Its almost like the entire town was holding their breath. She looks to her right to see something she never thought to see. A human running down the road in her direction. Her breath, just like all the others in Ponyville, were caught in their throat. She sees the smoke coming from the library. The human runs by, but its almost as if in slow motion.

As the human runs by she runs home. She wanted to desperately run after the human that she's read about in all the books Derpy had delivered to her home. but she wants to grab those books and bring them to the human. Some of the passages were written in their language and she wants to know how to read them. Lyra bursts into her home and rips a panel down off the wall and throws her saddle bag off. She runs upstairs unconcerned if her roommate Bon bon hears her. She puts on her traveling saddlebag and runs back into the living room area where she begins scooping the books into her saddle bag. She runs outside and after the human towards the Everfree forest.


Luna couldn't sleep. Something about Discord's words were haunting. She lies there in her bed wondering why those words are bothering her so much. She thought about going to Celestia to talk about this with her, but than she decided against it. She shivers and realizes that she is starting to not trust he sister with words.

"Mother... Father... Please guide me to what must be done..." She whispers out to the night.


Celestia smiles at the humans that kneel at her feet. The ones who said they would never are doing as she wills. Its taken eons, but she's finally done. Humans can no longer be the destructive creatures they are. All that remained was those three. She snorts at the memory of them escaping not even a day ago.

"So... do you humans know where those three might be headed."

They all shake there head.

"Have you given them any information about the outside world you knew?"

They all nod their heads.

"Alright... Lets start there." She says sitting down in a chair and levitating paper, quill, and ink to her.
