They grabbed as much food and water as they could carry, water, coca cola, pepsi. Hay fries, vegie burgers, twinkies, M&Ms. They divided their supply so everypony had the same amounts, but them into saddle bags and off they went onto the railroads that connected Ponyville to Canterlot. On the way, Pinkie Pie spotted a train.

"Oh, Twilight, can we take the train to Canterlot?" Pinkie Pie asked.

"We can't none of us know how to control one." Twilight replied. She turned to Rainbow Dash who was walking beside her. "I see she's pretty much back to he old self again." the two mares sniggered.

They were on their way to Canterlot at last, Twilight was looking at the ground, watching where she puts her hooves, making sure she doesn't trip on the planks of wood that connect the two steal rods together to make the track. Suddenly, it went pitch black. Twilight looked up.

"Hey! Why is it so dark now?" Twilight asked.

"Well if you looked where you were going, you would have noticed that we were about to enter a tunnel." Rarity replied.

Twilight was starting to get sick of Rarities attitude, she decided to turn round and confront her. "Right you! Why don't you just shut the fu-" Twilight stopped and was very confused because of what she saw. "Wait, what? Why is there seven of us? Ok, Checking names and the population of our group, because I'm pretty sure there were only six of us, not seven. Ok lets see now... One me, one Rainbow Dash, one Applejack, one Fluttershy, one Pinkie Pie and... Two Rarity's? What?" Twilight had never been this confused. One of the Rarity's raised one of her hoofs, she faced the other Rarity.

"Ok, um... Who are you?" the other Rarity asked. One of the Rarity's with her hoof up swung her hoof and punched the other Rarity in the eye, hey eye was badly damaged and had blood streaming out of the tear duct. The Rarity who was guilty of abuse soon revealed her true identity, it was a changing. Five other changelings surrounded the group of friends who were trying to recover from the disaster.

"Apparently we're not leaving!" Rainbow Dash shouted.

"We need to fight our way through. Rarity, you're injured, you just stay there, we've got your back. Everypony fight! We need to make it to Canterlot!" Twilight shouted.

Changelings noticed that the ponies we're preparing to fight. They immediately flew towards the ponies, ready to dig there sharp fangs into their delicate skin. There was a massive fight in the tunnels of the railway. Everypony and every changeling started kicking and hitting the foe that they were fighting. Suddenly a changeling took Rainbow Dash off guard. It dug it's teeth in deep into her neck. "Agh!" Rainbow Dash screamed in pain, tears grew in her eyes, like water dams about to overflow with warm, salty water.

"Right, that's it, I've had enough!" Twilight shouted. She used her magical horn to send out a shock wave throughout the tunnel, only damaging changelings, rendering them, not dead, but close to death.

"Why didn't you do that when they appeared?" Fluttershy asked.

"I needed to save my energy and I thought we could take them with not much harm done. But that doesn't matter at the moment, we have two ponies injured, Rarity is blind in one eye and Rainbow Dash has holes in her neck. Both ponies are severally injured and are loosing massive amounts of blood. We need to get to Canterlot as fast as we can. Not only do we need to speak to Princess Celestia and Princess Luna, we also need to heal these two as fast as we can or there is a huge chance they'll die." Twilight explained.

Twilight carried Rainbow Dash on her back and Fluttershy carried Rarity on her back. They ran through the tunnel and up the mountain and up to the gates of Canterlot. Twilight used her magic to open the gates. "Right, go, go, go! We need to go to the castle, I'm sure Princess Celestia and Princess Luna had some aid kits." Twilight suggested.

Fluttershy and Twilight took, Rarity and Rainbow Dash to the castle to look for an aid kit, along with everypony else. Although Twilight was carrying Rainbow Dash and was worried about her as she had a huge chance of dying from blood loss. She would be relieved to see Princess Celestia's face once more, she though, seeing Princess Celestia's face would be at least one plus of this land that I once thought was a nightmare! She ran down the corridors of the castle, they were so clean. This must be the only clean place in Equestria now, the rest looks like a scene from the trotting dead! Twilight laughed.

Twilight finally made it to the first aid room on the castle. She picked up everything she thought could help the injuries, luckily she was right and picked up the right stuff. Thankfully, Rarity and Rainbow Dash were healed and just about back in shape. Both, Rarity and Rainbow Das jumped up and hugged Twilight as a huge thank you! Now that they were back in shape, they all ran towards the throne room to see Princess Celestia and Princess Luna. They burst through the door exited, but suddenly that excitement turned into horror in a flash as everypony gasped at what they saw.

"B-But t-that's impossible!" Twilight stuttered in shock. A tear, once again filled up in Twilight's eye.

"This is the worst! Possible! Thing!" Rarity shouted.

"But how? I thought she was immortal! How could this have happened to her?" Rainbow Dash asked.
