           The show had begun and Rainbow's heart swelled with excitement and joy, that is until the bombs started. The first bomb must have been the trigger that set off a chain reaction, which by the way is very, very uncool. The Wonderbolts had just taken off from a sort-of like platform thing that was stationed at the end of the stadium. As soon as they were all air-born, well that's when the first bomb had exploded. The vibration shook the walls of the stadium and a few of the spotlights' glass shattered, plunging half of the stadium into darkness, with the shattering glass echoing throughout the blackness. For a moment, there was a moment of eerie silence, as if everypony was holding their breath, which Rainbow guessed most of them were, including her. Then well, all hay broke loose. Ponies started screaming, their shrieks echoed back at them inside the stadium. More lights shattered, engulfing the whole stadium with nothingness now. After a couple ear-splitting moments, the second bomb went off, this time blasting a good amount of the stadium into nothing but rubbe. That's when Rainbow Dash snapped out of it, unfortunately her friends didn't.

                   ''WHAT ARE YOU ALL WAITING FOR, GET YOUR FLANKS OUTTA HERE NOW GO!''  Rainbow waved her hooves for emphasis. Her friends snapped out of their shock, and started running like their lives depended on it, which ironically enough they did. As they ran, the six friends had to dodge chunks of the ceiling and walls that were raining down on them, a small scream escaped Dash's lips as a chunk twice as big as her fell a couple inches in front of her. In a matter of seconds she could've of been dead, so close,too close. The worry of her friends and the other ponies with them in the stadium gnawed at her sides.Then Rainbow heard something that made her blood run cold.

                  ''Help! Please!'' Dash risked a look down and caught sight of a little filly, her hoof stuck underneath a chunk of....something, could've been the ceiling. Tears were streaming down the filly's filthy white cheeks, her wavy golden hair was messy enough to give Rarity a heart attack. Then the little filly looked up at Rainbow Dash as if she knew Dash was standing right there. For some reason Dash's headache began to return, the pounding in her ears, the pain behind her eyes, it all came back unwelcome. She grit her teeth Aaargh! No not now! Rainbow bit back her pain as best she could called out to her friends, they turned around worry grasping every single one of their friendly faces, which made Rainbow guilty for a sec.

              ''Guys there's a filly down there, I'm gonna help and meet you guys outside alright? Wait for me near the entrance!''

            ''Darling please be careful, we don't want you do get hurt!'' Rarity yelled over the chaos of the stadium or well what was left of it.

            ''You come back right back to us ya hear! I don't want you to-'' Applejack was cut off when a huge, and she meant huge as in five times bigger than her huge, piece of the ceiling came crashing down separating her from her friends. She yelped and jumped back, but then approached it and peeked over as best she could not daring to unfold her wings for fear of them getting a piece of the stadium on them. She shouted to her friends to go.

           ''Don't worry I'll be fine guys, like I said meet me at the entrance alright?'' Another bomb was heard, joining the party with its other friends that had exploded earlier. Ugh, just how many bombs are even here? I sure hope my friends got out okay.Well no time to think about that, Dash looked down to see  a fallen debris land mere feet from the filly, who in turn let out high pitched shriek that made Rainbow wince slightly. She gulped and sucked in air full of dust and shot towards the filly, not even aware that she might not return to see her friends who were waiting for her at the entrance.

              Soarin has never felt so scared in his life, all around him chaos was rising rapidly as was his panic. His fellow Wonderbolts were helping and making sure they got everypony out safely. A small cry caught his ear.

                   ''Help! Please!'' He looked down and what he saw made his heart leap. This is exactly the opposite of what he was hoping wouldn't happen to anypony. A white filly who was now dirty, had a hoof caught under a fallen debris, she was crying and her golden hair was simply a mess. Soarin looked over to Spitfire who was yelling for everypony to move it.

            ''C'MON LET'S MOVE, MOVE, MOVE! EVERYPONY OUT NOW!''

           '' Hey Spitz!'' Soarin yelled hoping to catch her attention, thankfully he did.

          '' What is it Soarin?''

         '' Somepony's in trouble I-''

        '' WELL WHAT THE HAY ARE YOU WAITING FOR THEN? GET YOUR BUTT OVER THERE!!'' That was more than enough for Soarin Geez, I wanna just tell her what I'm gonna do so she knows and doesn't worry her spikey tail off and THIS is what I get hmph. A shriek coming from the filly cut his thoughts short. He looked down just in time to see a chunk of ceiling land a couple feet away from the poor filly. Without a second thought he flew straight towards her, what he didn't know was that he was also heading for his biggest mistake yet, and that's saying something since Spitfire sure thinks he's made a lot of those.

            Silver Shadow hid at the corner of the stadium, seeming unscathed by the destruction going on all around him. He called out to his friend who was currently disguised as an innocent little white filly with a golden mane. Silver Shadow snorted, his foolish friend Night Shifter could have a least chosen a little colt,But nooooo! Silver Shadow had shrugged it off, glad that this time they hadn't failed, at least...not yet. Shadow cursed himself for jinxing them. As a bonus, they had finally managed to find the two ponies of the ancient prophecy, both of them racing to save the little 'filly' a sneer etched itself across his face, growing with his satisfaction. He reached out to Night Shifter with his mind. This is turning out better than I had anticipated, but are you sure it's them? Night Shifter replied with an angry hiss which took Shadow by surprise,YES I'M SURE! Now get out of here, don't you realize how hard it is to stay in this form for long? Shadow rolled his eyes,I had advised you to go with a little boy instead hadn't I fool? He could feel Night Shifter roll his eyes, SHH THEY'RE COMING! Silver Shadow felt their connection shut off. He smirked, This is going to be fun.
