Rainbow Dash Network In Equestria

The maze in Canterlot’s Castle courtyard is big. Really big. It is about the size of three and a half football fields. Ever since it was made, the record time it took for a pony to go through the maze was one hour and twenty-six minutes. It also serves as another purpose. And two ponies has found that purpose. It’s a great place to hide. Now, there is a fault in the maze. Since ponies hate cheaters, if a pegasus is to enter the maze, they could not be able to fly out due to a magical barrier. If a pegasus were to fly over the maze, it will be blurred from their vision.

So if one were to try to hide within the maze, it will be hard for whoever is looking for them to find them. Deep in the maze, Axel Gunn and Silver Brony sat down and leaned agains the green bush wall.

“Axel?”

“Yeah.”

“How where you able to fend off Chrysalis? I mean when we saw her, she was over powering Cadance, and she’s an alicorn. Kind of hard to believe that a pegasus would beat her up.”

“Correct me if I’m wrong, wasn’t she beaten by a combination of love a protection spell. And that’s after she nearly sucked all of the love out of Shining Armor. So possibly we caught her in a bad time she had yet to feed.”

Silver Brony sighed. “You know, this wasn’t what I imagined what’ll happen when I found out I was in Equestria. I thought I would team up with the mane six and find a way out, and fight off some kind of threat that plans on making all of Equestria transform into bacon.”

“I don’t know about you, but that’ll be awesome. Ponies being transformed into bacon!”

“So how do you think we are going to get out of this mess?”

Before Axel could answer, a black-coated unicorn with a red and white striped mane and tale jumped through the green bush wall, landing between the two. The pegasi where too tire to react.

“Hey, you okay?” asked Axel.

The unicorn mumbled in response.

“You okay?” Axel asked again.

“No.” the unicorn responded, who was stallion.

“Well, who are you?” asked Silver Brony.

“The names Conventrix.” The unicorn replied.

“Great that makes nine of us.” commented Silver Brony.

“Nine?” asked Conventrix.

“You’re not the only one that got transported to Equestria. I’m Silver Brony and this is Axel Gunn. The others are possibly in the castle.”

“Canterlot Castle?”

“Yep. The bad part is that we got the entire royal guard ready to descend upon us and give us the beating of our lives, PLUS, we got a really angry queen of the changelings that really wants to thank Axel for beating the tar out of her.”

“Wait.” Conventrix turned to Axel. “What?!”

“Yeah.” Axel confirmed. “I beat the tar of Queen Chrysalis.”

“Bull.” Conventrix replied. “No way. You couldn’t have beaten her. She has alicorn strength and she’s able to get stronger by sucking the love out of ponies. So, no. There is no possible way you could have defeated Chrysalis in hand to hand combat.”

“Can we not discuss this, we got more pressing matters at our hands.” Axel hissed. “We got half, possibly more, of the royal guard hunting us down.”

“There’s worse to come.” Conventrix said.

“Yeah, we’re going to have accept judgment from both Luna and Celestia. Oh and Shining Armor as well.” Axel replied.

“No. Worse than that.”

“What could be possibly worse than that?”

“Tomorrow afternoon, a train that leaves the station at 12:19 p.m. will be hijacked. The hijackers will hold the passenger’s hostage and the country of Equestria will have 90 minutes to release known terrorists and pay the hijackers 8 million bits. Plus, now that the know that I’m from an alternate reality, they want all knowledge of that as well.” Conventrix explained.

“How do you know all of this?” asked Silver Brony.

“I was captured by them. I was able to escape and I was heading here, but I stopped that after I heard sirens blaring and saw a flaming carriage fly past. I decided to rest in the courtyard.”

Axel Gunn and Silver Brony looked at each awkwardly.

“What?” Conventrix asked.

“We and the others were in the carriage. You see, Celestia, Luna, and Shining Armor agreed to keep us inside the castle at all times until there would be a way for us to get home. We got bored and plotted a way to get out. The carriage was one of those attempts. The only reason why it was flying was because we used a crap ton of fireworks to act like a propulsion system.”  Silver Brony explained.

“So why are you being hunted by the royal guard?”

“Long story.”

“I think we have plenty of time.”

“Fine. Here goes.”

One long and detailed story later…

“So the others bailed all because Blueblood entered the room?”

“Childish, I know.” Axel Gunn commented. The night was in full swing and orders given and thrown around by the royal guard could be hear.

“Let’s get a move on. We need to get out of this maze before the guard see us.” Conventrix said.

“Wouldn’t they be blocking the exits?” asked Axel.

“Would you rather be corned by the royal guard?” replied Silver Brony.

“See your point. Alright let’s go.” Axel walked ahead. The unicorn and the other pegasus followed and began their journey out of the maze.

************************************************************************

Princess Cadance woke up lying down in a bed and from it looks like she was in the infirmary. ‘What happened? All I remember is a green flame and the grey pegasus holding on to me while he was flying away from something…Ugh! My head.’ The niece of Celestia robbed her head, hoping it will ease her pain, but it didn’t.

“CADANCE! Oh, thank Celestia, you’re alright.” A familiar voice to her yelled, who then held on to her right hoof.

“Shining Armor, what happened?” Cadance asked.

“Two of the RDN ponies attacked you. Princess Luna is questioning the others right now. Oh, I swear if they hurt you in anyway, I’ll make them regret it!”

“What happened to Blueblood?”

“He’s alright. He was only knocked unconscious from a blow to the head. He does however claims that the two RDN ponies are innocent.”

“How so?”

“Before he was knocked out, he saw a dark figure attack him and he only saw the RDN ponies several feet away.”

“They could have been making sure nothing would go wrong.” suggested Cadance.

“That’s what Luna and Celestia believe. Personally, I’m torn. I know I haven’t known them for so long, but from what I saw, it isn’t in their nature to pull something off like this.”

“We’re they trying to assassinate me and Blueblood?” Cadance getting stressed out even more.

“Nonononononono. Please calm down, dear. From what was gathered, they were merely trying to kidnap you and Blueblood. Don’t know what goal they would achieve.”

“Was anypony hurt?”

“A few guards try to detain the one named Silver Brony and he fought back. They only suffered a few bruises, but nothing severe.”

“Anything else happened.”

“Luna lost her room.”

“How so?” A concerned Cadance asked.

“The one named Axel Gunn was possibly trying to avoid escape so he blew up Luna’s room to provide distraction so he and his accomplices’ could escape.”

Cadance was about to ask another series of questions, but she was interrupted by one of the guards.

“Sir, we’ve found them. They are in the northwester section of the maze. Should we move in?” the guard reported.

“Immediately and send them both to the dungeon so they can explain this to their companions.” Shining Armor ordered. “Trust has been lost today.”

************************************************************************

“So, if we do get out of here, what are we gonna do?” asked Silver Brony.

“We’re then going to avoid the royal guard as we try to escape here, then board the train that’s scheduled to be hijacked and stop it from happening.” Conventrix replied. “Axel Gunn, any guards?”

“No, but we should be careful.” Axel replied.

“By the way, who are the hijackers?” Silver Brony asked Conventrix

“The most racially diverse group of hijackers I’ve ever seen. There is one of each race. Earth pony, pegasus, unicorn, diamond dog, mule, and a griffon. I’ve only met the leader once. All I remember was that he was as big as a house and was cloaked over. Deep voice, but that’s it.” Conventrix replied.

“Wait, was the leader wearing a brown, wool cloak? Along with a grey coated, sky blue colored mane and tail?” Axel Gunn asked.

“Yeah, why?”

“Then we’re aren’t just dealing with some group of hijackers. Equestria is about to go two war with possibly the most lethal crime syndicate.” Axel stated.

“How do you know it’s a crime syndicate?” asked Silver Brony.

“Remember I told you guys about those banks down at Appleoosa?”

“Yeah. You said that they were robbed of all their money and the banks were blown up.”

“Some of the witnesses of the robberies came up with the same description of the two ‘heads’ of the robberies. One was a big build pony, with a brown wool cloak and the other was a dark grey-coated pegasus with a sky blue mane and tale.” Axel continued.

“So the two are graduating from robbers to hijackers. Fantastic.” Conventrix grumbled.

“GUYS!” Silver Brony whispered loudly, there’s the exit. And low and behold, there it was. With no guards present. “I say we make a break for it. We’ll meet up at the train station.”

“Agreed. It’s nighttime, so the night guards could be running things now.” Conventrix observed. Axel Gunn and Silver Brony stood on their hind legs and stood against the bush, sneaking slowly. Conventrix tried to stand on his hind legs, but failed, so he decided to crawl his way. Axel looked around to see if there were any guards on the ground and the air. He saw nothing and signaled to the others that it was all clear.

The three galloped out of the maze and took cover under a tree. They turned around and saw pegasus guards flying around the maze.

“THERE THEY ARE! GET THEM!” yelled a guard from the distance.

“Scatter!” ordered Conventrix and the three ponies parted ways to avoid capture.

Silver Brony gave flight, but before he could reach the clouds, a night guard tackled him and they began to plummet towards the ground. The grey pegasus struggled to get out of the guards grip, but he was to strong. Just before he made impact, he suddenly turned, making the night guard into a cushion as they slid against the ground. The guard loosened his grip, so in response, Silver elbowed the guard in the ribs. The guard released his grip and Silver flew away. He only hoped that the others were able to escape.

************************************************************************

“Are we even sure that they did indeed tried to kidnap Cadance and Blueblood?” wondered Elo. “I mean look at the facts. This black figure gave off a green colored flame and it attacked Blueblood and Cadance. Kind of a dead give-away, isn’t?”

“Yeah, we know.” answered Eagle Hooves. “Now because of them, we’re in the dungeons. Thanks to Grey Scale, the entire country of Equestria is looking for a pony by the name of Redenchilada.”

“The name just popped in my head, sorry.” Gray Scale rolled his eyes.

“It’ll take them a bit to figure out that it’s a lie. Did you see how angry Luna was? May whatever god those two believe in have mercy on their souls” Minti said. The others nodded.

“So, how are we going to get out of this mess?” asked Derpyshy.

“We have to tell them of the royal wedding episode. Granted, it’s going to drastically change the wedding plans, but at least we are telling the truth.” Commodore Crazt replied.

At the bars, instead of talking Minti began bucking the padlock so he could kick his way out. The noise began to irritate the others.

“Do you need help?” asked Eagle Hooves.

“That’ll be greatly appreciated.” Replied Minti. The others grouped up and began kicking the door. After a few minutes, the door refused to give.

“Well that worked.” Grey Scale stated.

“How about this: Every now and then a guard come down and take us in for questioning. Right?” asked Minit.

“Yeah.” Answered Commodore Crazy.

“So, whoever is next, leaves and tackles the guard. They then grab the keys and throw here. Someone would grab the keys and unlock the door if need be.”

“Sounds like a good plan, but multiple flaws. What if the guard yells for help? Then even more guards swarm us. Also, what if the person misses and the key is out of reach? Also, I don’t think we know how to put a sleeper hold on a pony, let alone a royal guard.” Grey Scale pointed out.

“Do we have to try to break out? I mean the last time we tried that, we landed in the middle of the Everfree Forest. I think we should wait this out and stay low until things cool down.” suggested Derpyshy.

“The brony’s got a point.” Commodore agreed.

“I agree also.” chimed in Eagle

“Fine. We’ll stay low and cooperate with Luna and others. Think that’ll cause Shining Armor to faint from shock.” Grey Scale stated, with the others snickering in response.

A loud creaking sound, followed by a loud bang was heard. All six knew that is was the entrance into the dungeons and either they are bout to get a new guest or they are going to get yelled at again.

Much to their horror, it was neither a guest or a guards, but Princess Celestia, herself. Eagle Hooves cowered to the far corner of the dungeon room, hoping the hide himself. The others backed away slowly and began to lower themselves to the floor hoping that the floor would miraculously camouflage them and the Sun Goddess wouldn’t see them.

“Why did two of you decided to foolishly attack my neice and nephew?” Celestia asked in commanding tone. There was no response.

“SPEAK!”

The six flinched. They all began to sweat bullets. Before Celestia would ask again, an explosion of the highest magnitude went off, devastating the castle, including the dungeons. Rubble landed on Celestia, paralyzing her to the ground. The six ponies went flying in the as debris fell on them as well. A few minutes later everything was still.

“What the buck was that?!” yelled Grey Scale.

“Explosion, you idiot! Now check to see if everyone is okay.” Commodore yelled back.

“Can’t!”

“Why not.”

“Kind of hard to move when you got about a tons weight of rocks and boulders on your back.” Grey Scale wasn’t lying. He was completely buried in stone, along with Elo and Eagle Hooves.

“Anyone still alive?” yelled Commodore.

“I Am.” yelled back Minti as he got up. “Anyone else?”

“Derpyshy here!”

“Minti go check on Celestia. The bars dented enough for you to get past.” Commodore ordered. Though the bars were dented enough for Minti to get past, but it was just barely. Minti walked up to the princess, who had rocks on her hind legs and her back.

“She doesn’t look to good. We need to move the rocks one at a time, or they collapse on her.” Minti reported.

“Great. The same goes for Grey, Eagle and Elo. Minti, try to aid Celestia, while Derpyshy and I will aid the others.” Commodore commanded. Minti turned to face the princess, but saw a brown-cloaked figure standing on the other side of the princess.

“Who are you?” Minti asked.

In response, the figure turned around bucked Minti in the face sending him across the dungeon.

“MINTI!” Derpyshy yelled. Commodore Crazy then lunged at the foe, who just stood in their place. The moment Crazy grabbed the figure, they turned so fast, they sent Crazy flying into another cell, breaking the bench inside it. The figure then began to move rocks that were on top Celestia with immense ease.

Once done the figure rose his fore hooves, ready to stomp the princess. Derpyshy took this moment to strike and flew right at the figure, but instead of stomping the princess, the figure only flicked his hooves on both Derpyshy’s face and chest and sent him hurtling back into the cell.

The figure rose it’s hooves again, and this completing his goal. All the still-conscious ponies flinched when they heard the crunch made by Celestia’s ribs. The figure then grabbed her hair and lifted her up.

“Well, well, well.” It said with a dark smooth whispery tone. “Looks like I’m the first pony to ever break the sworn protector of Equestria.” After it’s boast, the figure threw the princess at Commodore, thus slamming into him.

“I already know of your existence, maggots. I already know of your ‘Rainbow Dash Network’ and its purpose. My only suggestion is for you get out of this world quickly. For there will be no dawn for Equestria.” The figure stated. It then touched a piece of brass attached to the right shoulder area of the cloak. “I’m ready.” Then a hole was blown in to the dungeon and a rope was dangling just outside. The figure then walked, with no regret for the atrocities it has committed and existed the castle.

************************************************************************

“My God.” Conventrix said in shock and despair. He and along with the other citizens of Ponyville watched in horror as smoke rises from Canterlot. Around him, ponies were on the ground sobbing, others were staring in shock, hoping it is a bad dream. It wasn’t. They knew it isn’t a dream. Somepony out there had declared war on Equestria in the boldest fashion. By bombing the city of Canterlot.

He soon got out of his daze and walked into the Sugar Cube Corner and met up with Axel and Silver.

“How bad is it?” Axel asked.

“Extremely bad. This must have been that back-up plan.”

“The one that will be used in case the train plot was exposed?” Silver Brony asked.

“Yeah. I knew they would change their plans, but never knew they would go this far.”

“You’re the one that made us go this far, Mr. Conventrix.”

Conventrix quickly turned around and faced a pegasus, griffon and a mule along with a half a dozen ponies in dark green cloaks.

“Are these they guys you’ve been talking about?” asked Axel.

“Oh, so he told you.” The unicorn answered. “Then I’m afraid you’ll have to come with us. You see, we can’t have people knowing of our plans. It’s just bad for the organization.”

The three ponies began to back up, but more ponies with dark green cloaks came in through the back, thus surrounding the three and the ponies still inside.

“What do you want?” Axel asked.

“We want our plans to move smoothly, but your appearance has little impact to our plans. We only just want you to leave.” The unicorn stated.

“We don’t even know how we got here, so what makes you think that we could get out.”

“Oh, we’ve found someone that could help you.”

The unicorn turned to cloaked ponies. “Bring him in”

Three of them nodded and bowed. They then turned around and left for a short time. When they returned they were holding on an off-white coated pegasus with a red and blue striped mane and tale.

“RDN, meet Techdash, the head of Equestria’s R&D Department. Granted I’m a unicorn, I hardly doubt magic will assist you on your return back to your home. We’ll give you fifteen minutes. Oh, everypony that’s not them, you may leave unharmed. I believe that you should pray for the ponies that were in the castle and hope that the princess is okay.” stated the unicorn.

The unicorn along with most of the cloaked ponies left. It took a few minutes before the other ponies realized it was time to leave. Conventrix helped Techdash up.

“You alright, buddy?” he asked.

“Yeah. I’m not hurt that bad.” the pegasus replied. “It’s my fault that I resisted.”

“What did they want from you?” asked Axel Gunn.

“They wanted the plans for this device that we’re about to make. They learned that the plans were going to be moved to Las Pegasus, where the device was going to be built. Since they got to me, they learned what the route they would take and took the plans.” Techdash explained.

“What is the device meant to do?” Silver Brony asked.

“To extract the magic elements from gemstones and store it in a container.”

“What could it possibly do?”

“They just tested it on Canterlot.”

“How much energy caused something like that?” Axel asked.

Techdash sighed. “60 gemstones. And they have countless more. However their leader is, they have ties with the diamond dogs and are receiving the stones from them.”

“They made you build the machine, didn’t they?”

“Yes, but the machine is extremely complex, so that’s why they still want me here.”

The unicorn returned and held the door open. “Time to go. All of you.”

The cloaked ponies behind the four ponies pushed them forward.

************************************************************************

“EVACUATE THE CASTLE!” yelled Shining Armor. The guards saluted and ran back into the castle, which was still in flames from the explosion. He pointed to the next two dozen guards.

“Get the civilians out of the city. And if any ask about Celestia and Luna, we’ve got them out!” In the distance, another tower fell due to the flames. Aid from other cities, towns and villages were just arriving, doing their best to aid the crippled city.

“Set up an emergency clinic down at Star-Swirled Avenue. All the inured will be transported there and then they will be shipped to either Ponyville General or Cloudsdale Hospital.” Shining Armor ordered. Cadance was shipped out immediately after the explosion occurred, but there has been no information about where she went.

“Sir!” yelled a grey-coated pegasus guard, whose armor was grayed due to the smoke.

“What is it?” Shining Armor asked.

“We have gathered information that Celestia went to the dungeon to question the RDN ponies at the time of the explosion. We went to the dungeons, but rubble is currently blocking the entrance. We’ve also found a hole that leads into the dungeon, but before we could enter it caved.” the guard reported.

“Get the best construction crew and have them dig out the entrance. For all we know the princess is still inside.”

************************************************************************

The dungeon air was thick and moist. The air ducks were the only ones that saved the six ponies and princess from suffocation.

“Commodore! How is the princess?” Minti yelled, shaking his head, trying to regain focus.

“Her ribs are either cracked or broken. She’s in immense pain, Minti. We need to get out of here and fast.” Commodore reported.

“Hey, someone help pull Elo out!” Derpyshy requested. Minit slowly galloped up and grabbed Elo’s right hoof, while Derpyshy grabbed his left and they heaved. Elo was barely consciousness and wasn’t responding to either Minti’s and Derpyshy’s questions.

“Eagle Hooves, I need you to get a bench.” Commodore said. Eagle Hooves was the first to get out of the rubble prison, and was now regaining his train of thought. He looked around for a good bench and finally saw one. The hinges where barely connected to the wall, so it was easy to disconnect the bench. He then brought it to Crazy.

“Alright, we need to lift her up and placer her on the bench. We’ll use the chains as trapes to hold her down.” Commodore said and Eagle nodded in response.

“Three. Two. One. HEAVE!” The ponies lifted the heavy princes and placed her on the bench.

“See those pile of rocks?” Eagle pointed out. “Let’s balance the bench there so we could tie the chains.”

“Alright. Three. Two. ONE!” and the ponies lifted the bench and carried it to the rocks and placed it down. Commodore began to tie the chains around Celestia’s chest and her legs.

“PRINCESS IS SUCCURE!” Eagle yelled.

“Grey is free!” responded Derpyshy.

Sounds of digging were heard behind the pile of rubble that was blocking the entrance.

“Hey! We got some survivors that need medical attention!” yelled Grey Scale.

“Is the princess in there?” a voice yelled back.

“Yes, but she needs medical attention right now!” Minti yelled back.

“Okay, hold on! We’re almost there!” the voice replied.

The rubble began to shift and crumble as earth ponies with construction gear on broke through the wall of rubble and came in. Medicinal staff rushed in and swarmed the princess.

“What happened to her?” asked one of the doctors.

“Rubble fell on her and one of the ponies that set off the explosion just came in and beaten her senseless.” Derpyshy answered.

“We need to get her to Clousdale Hospital.” The doctor informed the others. Immediately the medical staff picked up the bench and carried the crippled princess out of the dungeon.

************************************************************************

The cloaked figure walked into the dark, damp aired room. In the center of the room was a floating orb, giving off the only source of light in the room, which was extremely dim. The moment the figure came at arms length away, the orb became bright as the sun.

“Report.” said the orb.

“We had to change our plans evolving the train hijacking. We came into contact with a pony from an alternate reality. While he was being moved to on of our warehouses, he escaped.” reported the figure.

“What was this pony’s name?” asked the orb.

“Conventrix, sir.”

“Continue.”

“In response to the prisoner’s escape, we’ve decided to move to our back-up plan, which involved the usage of the machine that we stole plans of.”

“How well did it work?”

“It was perfect. The entire city is in smoke and fire. I personally saw to it that Celestia wouldn’t interfere anytime soon.”

The orb chuckled. “Good. Good.”

“Is there anything more you want me to do?” the figure asked.

“No. Not at the moment. I’ll be senidng more soldiers to for our cause. Leading them will be the General.”

The figure was taken aback. “The General is coming.

“Yes. My brother and me have heard of your activities in Appleoosa. We are dispointed in you. You were told that you must never return to bank robbing of anykind. Wea re letting you go free of this, but if this ever happens again, you’ll never be safe. There is not a place in this world that you can hide. Understood?”

“Yes, sir.”

“Good.” The orb then reverted back to its extremely dim color, leaving the figure alone in the darkness.

The figure walked out of the room and pointed a group of minions.

“Inform the others that the General is arriving.” The figure informed. The minions smiled, ear to ear. They knew that once the General arrives, everything is going to change. Their so-called ‘revolution’ is about to begin.

************************************************************************

Luna paced back and forth in the emergency room of Ponyville General. The news that the doctors told her was very grim. From what the doctors told her, the injuries that Celestia has been suffering from. Celestia has a severe concussion, cracked ribs on the right rib, and four broken ribs on her left rib. He leg were also sprained and her back was nearly broken, along with tiny pieced of rubble only centimeters from penetrating the spinal cord. The most minor of all those injuries was that her nose was broken.

The doctors also informed Luna that Celestia has entered into a coma and they don’t know when she’ll come out of it or if she’ll ever come out of it. So much has happened for the past two days. Cadance has finally been located. She was accidentally transferred to Manehatten First Aid Clinic.

Luna rubbed her head. Bags began to form under her eyes.

“Your highness?” Shining Armor asked, interrupting Luna’s train of thought.

“Huh…Oh. Sorry Captain Armor. What is it?” Luna asked.

“My sister and her friends have arrived.” Armor informed.

“Good. Good, please allow them to come in.”

Armor bowed and left the emergency room for only a short second before returning the wielders of Elements of Harmony. They bowed to the princess, and she returned the gesture.

“Is Princess Celestia okay?” Pinkie Pie asked, whose mane and tail was flat.

“She could be better, Ms. Pie. She is currently resting.” Luna informed.

“Are you okay?” asked Rarity.

“No. I, too, need rest after the days events.”

“I heard she was in the dungeon. Why was she down there?” asked Trilight.

Luna sighed.

“Do you remember the grey dragon you saw a couple days ago?” Luna asked.

Twilight nodded.

“He transformed into a pony-dragon hybrid, but that is only the start. He and many others were from an alternate reality and are part of the same group.” Luna informed.

“What group?” asked Rainbow Dash.

Luna chuckled.

“RDN. Rainbow Dash Network.”

Rainbow was taken aback and mouth was agape.

“Rainbow….Dash..Network..” she said, repeatedly.

“Yes. It’s what they call a website. More specifically a social networking site where others could on and talk to others around their world.” Luna explained in more detail.

“But why were they in the dungeon?” asked Twilight.

“A couple hours before the explosion, there was a separate incident that occurred in the castle. Princess Mi Amo…Princess Cadane and Prince Blueblood were the primary targets of a kidnapping attempt. Two of these RDN ponies are possible suspects of the attempt and a third has been confirmed to have assisted in their escape, whom we learned goes by the name Red Enchilada.”

The group remained quiet.

“Are Blueblood and Cadance alright?” Fluttershy asked.

“Yes, but Blueblood believes that the two RDN ponies had nothing to do with the kidnapping attempt. Normally he would blame everypony around him when something bad happens, but not this. He said that they tried to save him and his sister-“

“Blueblood and Cadance are siblings?” Twilight said louder than need be, and immediately blushed in embarrassment.

“Yes. Ms. Sparkle. As I was saying Blueblood believes that they were trying to save his sister mainly.” Luna continued.

A guard then entered into the emergency and bowed to the princess.

“Your highness. I have news.” The guard said.

“Then tell us.” Luna ordered.

“Blueblood was so persistent in proving the RDN ponies innocence, when he was sent to Ponyville, we went into the library, locked the door and proceeded to look through most of books so he can show the creature he saw.” The guard reported.

“Wait, my library?” asked Twilight.

“Yes.”

Twilight was at stand still. She didn’t whether to be angry that Blueblood was in her library, but the reasoning astounded her. From what Rarity told her, Blueblood is a snob to the nth degree and refuses to do anything that is remotely related to commoners.

“Could you please take me there?” requested Twilight.

The guard looked at Luna and nodded her approval.

“Please follow me, Ms. Sparkle.” the guard said, allowing her to lead the way.

************************************************************************

The captives were forced at the door of the library.

“We’ll keep you here for no.” said the unicorn. “Now, open the door.”

Conventrix tried to open the door, but it wouldn’t budge.

“Knock the.” the unicorn persisted.

Conventrix knocked and a frustrated tone came in return.

“Sorry! The library is closed for the day. Please come back tomorrow!”

“Enough of this.” said the unicorn. He raised his forelegs and kicked the door down and he and his minions, along with their captives, stormed into the library. When they got up the stairs, they saw a white-coated unicorn with a light brown mane and tail. He was wearing noble-like clothing.

“How dare you break in!” yelled Blueblood.

“Ah. Prince Blueblood. This just gets better and better. Seize him.” the unicorn ordered and other minions grabbed and held down the prince.

“Now, what makes a prince, no less you of all ponies, to come into a library?” asked the unicorn.

The prince remained silent.

“We’ll make you talk, eventually. Having a prince as a hostage will please the boss very much.”

“What are you?” asked Silver Brony.

“Us? We’re Equestria’s rebirth. We believe that the Royal Sisters had their fun on the throne. Now it’s our turn.” the unicorn said smugly.

“And how are you going to do that?” asked Axel.

“Look around you. You’re standing in the middle of the best militia in all of Equestria. We’ve got all the crime lords and former royal guards ready to move. BOOM! In a few weeks, we’ll have the entire Griffon Liberation Front tied up in a nice ribbon. BA-BANG!” exclaimed the unicorn.

************************************************************************

Twilight and a few guards were coming up the street that led to the library. Just before they turned to face ht library, the noticed several guards and officers making a perimeter of the building.

“What’s going on?” asked one of the guards.

“I’m officer Alipoe. I’m from FDPD. Inside that building is the leader of a small group of thieves known as the Diversity Gang. We’re working along with PVPD by setting up a perimeter around the library before we storm the place.” The officer informed.

“And the reason why the royal guards are here?” asked the guard.

“Prince Blueblood is inside the building. We also saw the head of Equestria’s R&D department within and three ponies that we have yet to identify.” Alipoe replied.

The guard cursed under his breath. He turned to the one behind him.

“Inform Shining Armor of the situation. Tell him that the RDN ponies may be inside.”

“Wait.” Alipoe interrupted. “RDN? As in ‘Rainbow Dash Network’?”

“Yes. How did you know of that?” asked the guard.

“I ran into two of them in Fillydelphia.”

“Who were those ponies?”

“Silver Brony and Commodore Crazy.”

“Then you might meet Silver Brony again, for he may be in there as well.” T he guard informed.

“Sir?” asked the other guard waiting for further orders.

“Why are you still here? GO!” ordered the guard. He turned to Alipoe. “Get ready to storm the building in five minutes.”

Alipoe nodded sternly and galloped towards the other officers.

“Please don’t damage the library to badly, please.” requested Twilight.

“Not making any promises.” responded the guard.

************************************************************************

“Boss! There’s officers and royal guards surrounding us.” informed one of the minions.

“Do you have the cases?” asked the unicorn.

“Yes.” answered the minion.

“Then get ready.”

The minion smiled.

************************************************************************

“Alright move in!” ordered Alipoe. Immediately the officers and guards galloped at full speed towards the library.

************************************************************************

Minions stood near all windows, opening up crates that they’ve been carrying. They all looked towards their leader.

He nodded.

“Do it.”

************************************************************************

When the officers and guards got within five feet away from the entrance to the library, all the windows facing them shattered beams of light fired at them. The group scattered avoiding the beams. Explosions were happing everywhere as the beams hit the ground. Smoke and dirt filled the air. The beams of light fired rabidly across the street.

Unbeknownst to them, the minions, the unicorn and their captives left the front entrance and ran into an alleyway. Once they left, the shooting stopped and the officers stormed the building, not knowing that the building was empty.

The officers and the guards searched every nook and cranny of the library trying to find whoever shot at them. One of the officers opened up a chest, which there was string attached to a few tubes and a rusty metal container that had a rainbow glow.

“Sir, what is this?” the officer asked his superior. The officer looked back at the chest and the last thing he saw was blinding purple flash and a wave of heat.

************************************************************************

“DOWN!” yelled a guard, tackling Twilight, using his body as a shield from the shrapnel. Wood and glass fell like rain in the surrounding areas. Firefighters arrived at the scene immediately doing their best in terms of putting out the flames and getting as many survivors as possible.

The guard got up and helped Twilight up. The lavender pony looked in horror as she witnessed her home and job burned to the ground. She kneeled down and started to cry, with the guard that protected her wrapping her body around with a blanket.

************************************************************************

The captives were able to escape after the explosion. Most of the minions were caught of guard of the loudness and the size of the explosion. The captors made a run for it and broke off the bonds they were wearing when they went into the alleyway, avoiding the officers.

Across from the alley they were in was a hospital. They all agreed that once they are in there, they would be protected. They ran out of the alleyway and galloped towards the hospital.

************************************************************************

Luna was once again pacing waiting for more news from the doctors. The remaining wielders of the Elements went down to the cafeteria to get some food. Luna was hungry, but didn’t want to leave incase the doctor was to come out.

Then she heard yelling coming from outside of the hospital. Before she would reach the door, five ponies, two unicorns, three pegasus busted through the door. All but one she recognized.

“GUARDS! SEIZE MR. BRONY AND MR. GUNN!” the princess ordered very loudly. The guards followed their orders and held down Silver and Axel. Luna walked up to the black unicorn.

“And you must be Red Enchilada? Yes?” asked Luna menacingly.

“um..ah..N-n-o.” the unicorn stammered.

“Then who are you?!” the princss slammed her right for hoof on the ground, cracking the floor.

“Conventrix.”

“Are you part of RDN?”

“Yes.”

“Guards. Seize Mr. Conventrix now and take them away.” Luna ordered.

“What the hell did I do?” yelled Conventrix.

“You tried to kidnap Prince Blueblood and Princess Cadacne. You’ll wish you’ve never done such a thing.” Luna threatened.

“Kidnap! Lady, I was held captive by a group of terrorists the entire time I’ve been here! I only just recently escaped!” Conventrix yelled.

“You dare talk to me like that?!” Luna fumed.

“YEAH! WHAT ABOUT IT?!” Conventrix shouted.

“Plus, what makes you think we tried to kidnap Cadance and Blueblood. WE tried to save them!” Silver Brony joined in.

“Really?! From whom?” asked Luna in an annoyed.

“Chryslalis. Queen of the changelings.” Axel responded.

The entire room fell silent.

“TAKE THEM AWAY!” Luna furiously ordered. The guards holding the RDN ponies shoved them forward, out of the lobby.

They guards shoved the ponies into a cube shaped wooden carriage, with bars on all the windows. All the ponies were silent as the guards pulled the carriage and entered the Everfree Forest.

“Great now, we’re prisoners.” mumbled Silver Brony.

Axel turned to Conventrix.

“So did it feel to stand up to Luna like that?”

Conventrix chuckled.

“To be honest, the most scariest thing in my entire life. Really thought she would chew my head off.” he answered.

“Hopefully the others aren’t going through this stuff. Lord, it’s been a long day.” Axel said. The others nodded their head in agreement. There was flash of green and the carriage stopped.

“Oh come on! Not again!” yelled Silver Brony. The roof of the carriage ripped clean off with a green-ish glow surrounding it. The roof was then thrown to the side. Flying into view was the battered and furious queen of the changelings.

“Oh, boy.” Axel murmured.

“Don’t even try to escape.” Chryslalis ordered.

“Why?” Silver Brony asked, in spite of his fear. The queen smiled and her horn glowed. The walls around the carriage collapsed and surround it was hundreds of changelings.

“That’s why.” Chrysalis said.

“Can you just come another day? We just got kidnapped.” Axel stated.

“Tell that to your companions.”

The queen then nudged her head to a group of changelings, who moved to show the other RDN ponies in green slime, captive.

“Now, please resist. I really want to repay you for interfering with my plans.”

The ponies stayed where they were.

“Good. Seize them.” Chyrsalis ordered.

“Haven’t heard that a lot today.” Axel mumbled as the changelings used their magic to shackle the ponies and brought them to the other RDN ponies.

“Guys, Conventrix. Conventrix, the other RDN ponies.” Silver introduced.

The others nodded.

“Eagle Hooves.”

“Commodore Crazy.”

“Grey Scale”

“Minti”

“Elo”

“Derpyshy.”

“So how are going to get out of this?” asked Conventrix.

Minti shrugged. “Who knows? When the window shows itself.”

The changelings shoved the now nine RDN ponies forcing them to march. The ponies walked on, going deep in to the Everfree Forest.
