"I just don;t know anymore..."
"Friends...gone..."
Davis appears, but his leather jacket mangled, eyes bloodshot. He is drooling this blackish-orange substance that was his own blood. His body is wounded. He's is not himself anymore -- a monster.
The scene change.
"I'm running from something..."
I look behind me, a group of poni3s, made unrecognizable by shadows. All I know is that I'm alone, nopony to help...
The scene changes again.its pitchBlack.;=9A familiar voice disturbs the silence.
"I can't believe it, you group of...pathetic p)nies of @ 9rouP? Y0u *@ll yours3lf t-h3]; re';.l. '.6;./? ;'.ou/'[-93 k1dd1#g m3!"
"K -- King Goldenstorm?"
"Yes, Rainer, why were you that gullible, to trust a band of misfits, instead of your own life,When you are a misfit yourself?;'.,''
"'[]I-- I, Sir;.';/?'"
"NO!", The golden alicorn roared angrily. "I cannot forgive and forget any longer! You are to 9l3@ve7

jUst as the$#2al (u@rds burst through the doors, the scene changed again...
We're somewhere in...Phillydelphia? Or Manehattan? I'm not sure...but the atmosphere is feeling very hostile.
I realize it's after an encounter with Rarity -- the real one.
"Rarity was right," declared Dub Beat. "We're leaving."
"Wh -- what??", I spluttered. "You can't leave!"
"Oh yes we can!", Dub's sister spat. "We're sick of running around with you..you..TWERPS! All this running might burn a few cals, but it's not going to do any good, clearing our names. We're out!"
They gallop out. Boxi screams, "Later, losers!"
There's silence for a few moments, I notice Aquashine thinking about what the Beats had said before ditching us.
"That's kind of true, Rainer," She agreed, cold in her voice. "All we're doing is avoiding the police, that's all. There's no point in running if we don't actually take action! I'll be leaving as well, back to Lunar City. I'm sorry, Rainer. Goodbye."
She canters out, flaps her wings, and flies off.
Meanwhile, Gold Rush is lying in the corner, weeping.
"Why don't they listen?", She muttered loudly. "I promised them...I promised! But look -- they all jump the gun, and leave, thinking I took too long.."
Some data was too corrupted to be displayed... **Data Removed**
She falls from the building.
"Oops," Whooves37 shrugged. "Sorry! Didn't mean to push her."
"You son of a..." I glared at his greyed-out self angrily. I dash off, following the falling Gold Rush
The anger turns to panic as I jump off from the edge, chasing after the unconscious body falling to the fog below.
...**Corrupted Data Removed**
No," Tears streak down my face as I dive through the air, to save Rush. "NO! I won't let you go!"
It was too late, and she disappeared through the mist.
I went grey.
She's gone, I thought. I failed my mission.
Everything was a blur after that.
Let's just say I gave up. I went limp. and fell. I clenched my eyes tight, and waited for death.

"Wake up, sleepyhead!"
I groggily open my eyes. Gold Rush is there, nudging me awake, again. I'm In a tent
"Come on! before another ambush!"
I immediately rush toward Rush, tackling her to the ground, and hug her -- tight.
"Thank Celest you're alive!"
Rush pushes me off, surprised. "Ok, then, of course I'm alive, jeez! No need to go haywire bout' it."
Oops, guess I did overreact a little bit. I felt my ears burning with embarrassment.
Rush gets up, dusting herself off with a hoof. "Alright, now that's over with, can we go now, we've been waiting for 20 minutes now, and you're the noisiest sleeper I've ever met!"
So I pack up my stuff into a bag, and start off toward Gold Rush and the rest of the group, who were already leaving: Aquashine, Davis, Boom and Dub Beat.
I'm grateful all that was just a dream...
