The Saving of Celestia

Chapter V

Rarity woke in a field, her rear right leg hurt and she could smell burning and smoke. She looked down at her leg, it was bleeding, she could see the burning remains of the shack. She tried to stand up and fell over, a surge of pain went through her leg and she screamed, her leg bled even more, now there was a small puddle of blood under her, she felt sick. she gathered up all the power in her body and stood up, it hurt even more this time, but she didn't fall over. she limped towards the wrecked shack. She heard a very quiet sound, talking, the closer she got the louder it was. It sounded  like Pinkie Pie and Twilight and Rainbow Dash. She finally got close enough to hear what they were saying,

"Raritys missing, the kidnapper got away with Celestia and the crown of the suns vanished!" it was Pinkie pie talking to Twilight , who looked almost unconsious, she could see Applejack and Fluttershy both on the floor bleeding. Then she noticed it, the crown of the sun, on the floor tattered and charred, she picked it up with her magic and  it glowed, it was suddenly clean.

"hey look! theres Rarity!" shouted Rainbow Dash,

"Rarity!" shouted Pinkie Pie

Rainbow Dash and Pinkie Pie were the only consious ponies there.

"uh... w-w-what h-happened..." mumbled Rarity.

"everythings gone crazy!" said Rainbow Dash "one of them shadow twin people died, the other one got away with the princess, everyponies hurt and the sun crowns missing!"

Rarity showed them the crown and said "I found the c-crown"

"great, now we need to find out were the shadow guy went with the Princess" said Rainbow Dash. "i'm gonna go and search the wreckage"

Rarity looked around and Twilight was unconcious, she had a large bruise on her forehead, Fluttershy had been cut in the cheek by a piece of glass and the dead female's knife was stuck in Applejacks flank. Fluttershy woke up, she looked terrible.

"w-what happened?" Fluttershy could only just manage the words.

"dont speak, it'll only make you tired" said Rarity

"o-ok" whispered Fluttershy

and she went back to sleep.

Applejack was bleeding too much, Rarity though "what should I do?" she went to Rainbow Dash and helped search the ruins, she looked around the whole wreckage and eventually she found a little first aid box in a cupboard, just what she wanted!, and she went out to Applejack and got to work. First Rarity got the knife out of Applejacks flank, blood poured out faster than anything, Rarity had to think fast, she wrapped a bandage around the wound and it stopped bleeding. she went over to Fluttershy and dabbed her cut with a tissue

"is everyone ok?" whispered Fluttershy

"don't worry about them, they'll be fine" said Rarity

"ok" whispered Fluttershy.

Twilight finally woke up she was dazed,

"Rarity! your ok!" said Twilight

Rarity looked back at her leg and said "yes, kind of"

Twilight gasped and said "what happened to your leg?"

"its nothing, are you ok?" asked Rarity

"my head hurts a bit but otherwise im fine" replied Twilight.

"good, I say we all get some rest and then set off to find the Princess in the morning" said Rarity.

Rarity went to the wreckage to find Rainbow Dash and see if she'd found anything.

"Rainbow Dash?" called Rarity "are you there?"

"Right down here Rarity" shouted Rainbow Dash "I think i've found something, it's a map, marked with locations; safehouse A, safehouse B and safehouse C."

"perfect! now we can find the princess" exclaimed Rarity.

Rainbow Dash and Rarity went back to Pinkie Pie and told her about the map. Then they all got some sleep.

In the morning everypony felt a little better even Applejacks wound looked better. Everypony gathered around the little campfire Pinkie Pie made and they discussed what to do next.

"ok, so we have a map of where the Princess will be taken next" said Rainbow Dash "is everyone fit to travel?"

"yes" said everypony.

"okay then I say we sneak in through the back" said Rainbow Dash

"agreed" said Twilight.

They packed up everything the had and left for 'Safehouse B'.
