"We need to get her to a hospital!" yells Rainbow Dash. Before help even gets to the scene, Pinkie Pie stops shaking and lies on the ground. Applejack runs over and places her hoof against her heart. "It's not beating anymore!" She starts to panic. "Does anypony know CPR?" Twilight smirks and slowly trots through the crowd. "I know CPR." says Twilight, arrogantly. "Of course she does." Applejack mutters under her breath. Twilight kneels down and places her lips against Pinkie Pie's. "Oh, wow." says Applejack. Spitfire looks away. Twilight puts pressure on Pinkie Pie's chest in the form of a heart beat, then loses hope. "It's too late, Pinkie Pie is gone." In the moment Twilight gets back up, the Sonic Rainboom fades away. Spike is watching from the staircase when his stomach starts to grumble. "I can't believe three ponies are dead already. What if I'm next?" His stomach growls louder. "Oh no, I think I'm gonna-" Spike starts spitting out fire. The more scared he gets, the stronger the flames are.

Everypony tries to defend themselves from the uncontrollable flames when Luna steps in. "Spike! You must calm down! These flames need to stop immediately!" Spikes flames die out. "I can't control them, your heiress. Whenever I get scared like this, that happens. I shouldn't be so scared about the.... the.... murderer... oh no." Spike gulps a huge flame right in front of Luna, and engulfs her body on fire. "Somepony HELP ME! HELP ME!" yells Luna. "The dress!" yells Celestia. "Try to rip off the dress!" Luna tries pulling off the dress, but the fire is burning her hooves. The fire starts to penetrate Luna's eyes. "I'm blind! I'm blind!" yells Luna as she starts flying in the air towards the window that was broken by the scooter. The fire then penetrates her ears, but Celestia doesn't know that. "You need to stop flying!" Luna's wings get tired as she falls, hoping to fall on the ground, but instead, she lands on a shard of glass, going through her wing. Everypony backs away as she hangs in the inferno.

Moments pass as the flames on Luna die out. She can barely breathe, as the fire burned her badly. "Stay strong Luna, help is on the way!" says Celestia. Luna takes deep, dying breaths. "It's too late for me... my dear sister, keep Equestria the way it is now, strong. Raise the moon in my name. I'll always be with you in your dreams, forever and always. I give you all a final goodbye, I love you all." Help bursts through the door when Luna takes one last deep breath as her wings rips apart, slamming her body onto the ground. Celestia kneels beside her, on the verge of tears. Everypony has a cringed look on their faces when a pony just can't take it anymore. "EVERYPONY RUN!"

The room goes from silence into utter chaos, with pegasi trying to fly away, earth ponies and unicorns are trying to mosh their way to the exit when a blue aura covers the door, making it impossible to open. Spike feels as if he can redeem himself by trying to calm everypony down. He makes his way through the mosh pit. "There's nothing to worry about! You can all calm dow-" Everypony is too panicked to even listen to Spike as they trample and stomp on him. Celestia wants to get up and stop the chaos but she doesn't want to leave her sister behind. Rainbow Dash flies over to her. "You take care of your sister, I got this!" "Thank you Rainbow Dash!" says Celestia with a bland tone. Rainbow Dash flies over the crowd looking down when she looks up and goes lip to lip with Soarin Stallion, a member of the Wonderbolts. As the two kiss, Rainbow Dash attempts to apologize but she starts to blush. "I'm sorry, I wasn't uhm.. paying attention." She tries to make complete sentences but her heart is pounding!

Above Rainbow Dash and Soarin Stallion, pegasi are flying all over the castle, trying to find an exit. Derpy is in the air, unaware of what is going on, and why is everypony on a rampage? All of the sudden, Fleetfoot, one of the members of the Wonderbolts, crashes into Derpy head to head. knocking the both of them into the chandelier. The impact was so strong, the chandelier starts to swing back and forth. Soon, the chain that holds it breaks. Rainbow Dash is too distracted by Soarin and doesn't know about the chandelier. "Uhm.. Rainbow.. I wanna tell you something.." says Soarin, blushing. "What is it?" asks Rainbow Dash, in love. "I just wanna say that.. I lov-" The falling chandelier lands on top of Soarin and crushes his body to the floor. "NO! SOARIN!!" screams Spitfire. The room immediately stops moving. Rainbow Dash is staring from above, speechless. "He... He loved me..." says Rainbow Dash, crying. A royal guard comes down the staircase and removes the chandelier off of Soarin. "The chandelier punctured his lungs, he stopped breathing on impact." says the Royal Guard. Twilight stomps her hoof on the ground. "Have you FORGOTTEN about Spike?! Make way for him!" says Twilight, moving through the crowd. She starts shoving ponies out of the way as she sees Spike on the floor, with bones popping out of his chest. "No..Spike.. I can't believe you're gone.." says Twilight. Suddenly a voice booms across the castle.

"Oh, poor Twilight! Your little assistant is now DEAD! Everypony who tries to stop me will die, and YOU'RE NEXT!" screams the mysterious voice. Applejack's eyes widen as the words 'you're next' echo in her head. The day Applebloom died. Her sister's voice echoes now. The pain inside of her gets stronger and stronger. She starts screaming through the pain. "You murderer... you took my sister away from me. She was my world! WHAT'S YOUR PROBLEM? YOU HAVE NO IDEA WHAT YOU PUT ME THROUGH!" She starts breathing heavily. "APPLEBLOOM!" Just then, another window breaks in the castle. "SHOW YOURSELF!" yells Applejack. Suddenly, an arrow with blood stains zooms through the castle and pierces Applejack's right eye.
