Twilight sighed as she watched the royalty and their guards leave. She turned, and gasped at the sight. All but the outskirts (and the library due to a shielding spell) had been destroyed. Tears filled Twilight's gision as she stared at her ruined home. She sadly walked where a street used to be, back towards home.

"Help us! Can anypony hear me?" A voice called out.

"Hello! I'm coming! How many of you are under there?" Twilight asked as she galloped to a fallen house.

"Twilight? Is that you? Thank Celestia! I'm here, Ditzy Doo is unconscious, the Cutie MarkCrusaders are trapped under a board, and the only way out from under here is too small for me to get out. Help us, Twilight!" Lyra Heartstring's voice called.

"I've got you! Don't worry!" Twilight called back. She slowly began the process of lifting the boards off of the stack. Little by little, she could see more and more of the ponies. Twilight didn't have room to drop what she picked up, so instead she held them. The stress from holding so much hurt her crazily. Finally, Lyra could crawl out. She carefully took some boards from Twilight's grip. Twilight visibly relaxed as she didn't have to use as much magic.Twilight began to lift one of the bigger boards, only to be met with a scream of pain from three little fillies.

"What? What is it?" Twilight asked loudly.

"It's alright, Twi, it's just the board yer liftin is the board holdin us down." The country accent clearly meant that it was Apple Bloom who had spoken.

Assured by the filly, Twilight Sparkle lifted the board. She was sure then that she could lift all four ponies out of the ruined building.

"Are you ok?" Twilight asked when she had set them down. She put the boards back, and was sure that the magical strain would mean at least a three hour nap in the near future. But that was the least of her worries. She began to check each pony over, making a mental list of what was wrong wih each pony.

Lyra: several cuts and bruises, possibly a bruised bone in her right rear hoof. A couple deep gashes, nothin too serious.

Ditzy Doo: several gashes, broken wings, the wings are sprained at the joints, a concussion from whatever hit her head, front left hoof may be cracked.

Apple Bloom: broken ribs, cuts and bruises, a large gash on the side of her face, swollen knee.

Scootaloo: sprained right wing, cracked ribs, broken left wing.

Sweetie Belle: hind left leg is clearly bent out of place, definitely broken. A small, deep gash over eye, a crack at base of horn.

Twilight grimaced at the list, especially Sweetie Belle. Twilight knew of one way to fix the crack in her horn, but it needed to be done soon, and the magical energy required would leave her unable to fix the others. Twilight sighed as she made her decision. She carefully approached Sweetie Belle.

"Sweetie Belle, I have to fix your horn ASAP. It will hurt both of us, but you can't move. It is dangerous, but it is the only way to save you from a magic less life. Okay?" She said.

Sweetie Belle nodded, tryin not to appear scared.

"SWEETIE BELLE!"

"APPLE BLOOM"

"SCOOTS!"

The corus of voices were unmistakeable. Apple Jack, Rainbow Dash and Rarity were here.

"Rarity, I need your help." Twilight said. "We need to heal Sweetie Belle's horn, NOW. I need your magical energy."

Rarity instantly gave her energy to Twilight. A cracked horn was not something to waste time on. If not cured in time, the owner wouldn't be able to perform magic, and the horn would pain her forever.

"Hold still, Sweetie." Twilight ordered. She moved close to the frightened unicorn. Raw magic went from Twilight's horn into sweetie belle's. the ponies watched in horrible fascination as Sweeties eyes went white. A light washed over Sweetie Belle, healing her as it went. Twilight pulled back her horn and the magic ceased. All of Sweetie Belle's injuries were healed.

"Oh, Sweetie Belle! Your alright!" Rarity cried as she hugged her sister.

Sweetie Belle grinned as she hugged her sister. Twilight wasn't payin attention to this scene. She saw what no pony else did: Ditzy Doo wasn't unconscious, she was almost dead, and she watched the scene, too weak to talk.

"Sweetie Belle! I need a needle to fix up these wounds, STAT!" Twilight ordered. Then every pony watched in shock as Sweetie Belle levitated a needle and thread from Rarity's pocket.
