The escape part 1

Previous Chapter

Applebloom woke up early the next day, in chrysalis' bed and arms once more, and planned out how she would escape from Chrysalis today. Applebloom snaked her way out of Chrysalis' arms and placed a pillow to replace herself. "Come on.... work!" Applebloom though waiting for the sleeping queen to strengthen her hugging grip on what she though would be Applebloom. Thankfully, the plan actually worked out for Applebloom. Applebloom got the jacket that she was wearing the night she and her friends were attacked by the Changelings, then Applebloom went out of the sleeping Queen's bedroom, opening the door as quietly and slowly as she could. Once outside the bedroom, she got out a map that she stole from the Queen, and began to study it, as she wouldn't have enough time to read it the entire time she would escape.

"Hmm.... HUH!" Applebloom began "Ther's a secret tunnel exit out of Th' Hive! But..... Ah've gotta climb the other way to access the tunnel." Applebloom said, as she looked up from the map and noticed her escape route, high up on a ledge in The Hive. Applebloom noticed her alternate path up to the tunnel. Instead of forcing a Changeling to fly her up there, she would have to climb a set of natural built stairs, and even do some parkour to get up to the tunnel.

Applebloom ran to her destination bare foot, and in short-shorts and her yellow button up t-shirt that was still worn like a bra, the only clothing she had with her besides her jacket. Applebloom had to duck into corners from time to time, avoiding Changelings as much as she could. Applebloom finally made it to the base of the steps, and began to climb them up to the tunnel.

Sweetie Belle woke up, exhausted from the work Discord had her do after they arrived at the castle. Sweetie Belle got dressed, and wore her clothes from the night that she was kidnapped along with her friends. "Ok Sweetie Belle Discord is probably still asleep, so now all you've gotta do is head for the self pulling chariots to the plains below." Sweetie Belle told herself, as she left her room for the chariots in the back exit of the castle.

Sweetie Belle made it into one of the chariots, and got ready for her departure. As soon as Sweetie Belle got the chariot flying, and out of the castle, it sounded as though someone set off an alarm, which would wake Discord up and in rage him a lot. Sweetie Belle forced the chariot to start flying downward to the plains below them, and land softly. This, however, was proven difficult since the chariots were made by Discord's chaotic magic, and they would barely listen to her.

Meanwhile, Discord was woken up by the loud sound that acted as an alarm, and checked his slave's room, only to find it empty of the girl. Discord yelled in anger, and looked around for something to have to track Sweetie Belle. He noticed one of the dresses she wore from the night before, and took that to his destination. Discord finally arrived at his team of sled hyenas, and had them each smell the article of clothing to get the scent that they needed to follow. Once ready, the hyenas pulled the sled with Discord in it, laughing like a mad man.

Over at the corrupted kingdom, Scootaloo was already making her escape. Scootaloo was sent on a mission by Sombra to kill some more soldiers, but Scootaloo had other plans. Once she was at the draw bridge, Scootaloo would have the two guards there allow her an exit out of the kingdom, by threats.  Scootaloo ran as fast as she could, and dared not look back at who might've been behind her.

Scootaloo finally arrived at the drawbridge, after passing through 15 blocks worth of houses and streets for Sombra's soldiers. She walked towards a guard and said "I've orders from King Sombra that require me to leave the kingdom. If you don't allow me access out of the kingdom," Scootaloo said as she got out her sword and pressed the blade against the now scared guard's neck "then I'll see to it that my other orders go as planned. Understood soldier?" Scootaloo asked, pulling rank on the guard. "Y-Yes ma'am! Lower the drawbridge!" The guard said, as the others began to lower the bridge.

Scootaloo walked out of the kingdom like she owned the kingdom itself after the bridge was lowered. Once outside, she ran to the area that she and er friends would meet up at, hoping that neither of them were hurt.

Meanwhile Sombra sat on his throne, in his castle, and waited for the return of his slave, as he then received word of someone leaving the kingdom. "Who was it?!" Sombra shouted. "K-King Sombra it was a woman in orange crystal armor who pulled rank on us, sir!" The drawbridge guard said.

Sombra sat on his throne and began to clutch the arms of the throne with his hands, as his eyes turned green and began to emanate purple smoke. "NnnnnnnAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!" Sombra shouted, as he left his castle to chase after the girl that was his slave.

Back at The Hive, Applebloom finally made it to the tunnel that would help her escape, and ran down it. Eventually, she could hear Chrysalis say "FIND HER, SHE'S ESCAPED! FIND HER NOW OR I'LL BE USING YOU AS MY SLAVES!" Applebloom assumed that Chrysalis was talking to her two personal guards, an decided that it was time that she picked up her pace.

Eventually, se made it to the end of the tunnel, with only seeing rats and some stalagmites here and there. Applebloom looked outside of the tunnel exit, and noticed the sun rising. Applebloom began to softly cry, not from sadness but joy, and said "Ah'm goin' home!"
