The 7 Keys

"She's…gone" cried Applejack.

"And all we did was blame her for what she has done" sobbed Rarity.

"Well, we have to move on girls" encouraged Twilight. "What's important is that we still have the other 5 elements. We shall search for Flamina and Pitch, retrieve the Element, and save Rainbow Dash."

"She's right!" said Fluttershy, "Besides, we're all doing this for the sake of Equestria and Rainbow, right?"

"And to get you started," said Discord "Let me show you something."

Discord snapped his finger, and suddenly they were teleported to some scary place. It's like the old abandoned Castle of the Two Sisters, but older than that. It was very dark, creepy, and full of ferns and moss.

"What is this place?" questioned Applejack.

"Ahhh," said Discord "This is the place where we and Flamina fought for the last time. Those Elements you're now wearing, I simply borrowed them from the Tree of Harmony, and used them to end Flamina's reign. After that, I placed the Elements back from where they came from. I brought you all here because we might get a chance to corner Flamina and rescue Dashie."

"That's a great idea!" exclaimed Twilight, "Every pony, split apart. Search for Flamina and Rainbow around the castle."

So, everyone ran around the castle, searching for Flamina and Rainbow Dash.

We'll leave the others and focus on Twilight for a while. Now, on the deepest part of the castle, she found something strange. It's a silhouette under an old dungeon. She went down to investigate, and to her surprise, it was Rainbow Dash in the shadows.

"Rainbow Dash!?" shouted Twilight.

"Rainbow Dash?" she questioned "Ha! Never heard of her."

"But…but…you are Rainbow Dash!" exclaimed Twilight.

"You got the wrong pony here," said Rainbow Dash, slowly turning around and suddenly shouted with an evil laugh, "I'M NOT RAINBOW DASH! I'M FLAME THROWER!"

Twilight was shocked on what happened to her. She looks like Spitfire on Fire, having those yellow-shaded eyes, red hot hooves, and a flaming head and tail.

"Rainbow Dash!" said Twilight "What happened to you?"

"I told you before, I'm Flame Thrower, not Rainbow Dash. And who are you?"

"They're our enemies" said Flamina from the back. "They're the one who took my crown, deceived you, and rejected you as friend."

"No! No! This can't be!" said Twilight.

"Enemies, huh?" said Flame Thrower.

"Yes" said Flamina "and they should be punished for what they've done to us. Take her away to The Cave."

"As you wish, my master" said Flame Thrower.

She started to approach Twilight. Twilight started to shiver and cry. She can't believe that her best friend would betray her, and she doesn't know what to do, when suddenly…

"Hey! Get your filthy hooves off of Twilight!"

"Ahh, Discord" said Flamina "What an amusing surprise! Come, the party's just started."

"Well," said Discord "Maybe I should join you. After all, it's such a nice party you have there."

"Then come on!" said Flamina "And join me."

"Ok then" said Discord "Just one sec, I'll just take this pony and then…"

POOF! The two suddenly disappeared in thin air.

"Master, should I chase them?" said Flame Thrower.

"No, not yet Flame Thrower" said Flamina, "Let's give them some time. Time for them to get ready for the party, and the whole Equestria shall be joining this event."
