A normal day?

Chapter 1

A normal Day?

It was a nice day in Ponyville. The Sun was shining and everypony was enjoying the nice weather.

The weather ponies made good work today.

The marketplace was very busy today, the shop owners were opening all of their windows and many ponies were sitting around all the cafes. There were some fillies playing outside.

Away from all this stress, there was a purple unicorn enjoying the day.

Twilight was in the fields to relax, read a little bit and enjoy the sun. Unfortunately a rainbow coloured flash was flying in front of her.

“Whoa!”

Rainbow Dash was landing in front of her with a big smile.

“Hey, why are you so upset?”

Twilight asked.

“Oh nothing, just a little bit nervous about tomorrow.”

Rainbow had still a big smile at her face.

“OK, and what’s so special about tomorrow?”

Twilight asked with a confused look.

“Ah nothing, just that I’m get visited by SPITFIRE!!!”

Rainbow shrilled like a little fan girl.

“Wow, what a surprise!” Twilight smiled “And why is she coming to visit you?”

“Ah, I was just flying some goods to the Wonderbolts academy and she decided to bring me a little gift for helping them” she squeaked.

“Well, I hope you cleaned your house” Twilight said.

“Oh well, hehe, got to go. See ya’ later Twilight.” And with this sentence Dashie flew away with high speed.

Twilight giggled.

She was reading hear book for hours until a purple and green baby dragon was coming to her.

“Hey, Twilight. Are you still reading that boring book?” spike asked her.

“Spike!” Twilight looked at him serious “This book is about magical powers of the everfree forest. It isn’t boring” she told.

“Well it’s time for dinner now.” the hungry looking dragon said.

The sun was about to go down when Twilight got up and took her book in her bag.

“Allright, let’s go home and eat something” she said.

They were on the way home when a pink party pony appeared out of nowhere in front of Twilight.

“HI THERE!” she yelled.

“Aaah! Pinkie! Don’t do that again!” Twilight angrily looked at Pinkie Pie.

Pinkie was giggling a little bit. “I was right on the way to sugarcube corner to get some cupcakes for Dashie, but now you two are here and  I have so much to say because today is such a nice day and-” Pinkie was interrupted by a purple hoof. “Pinkie, calm down” Twilight said when she took her hoof down. “Oops, sorry” Pinkie giggled.

“Spike and I were just about to go and get something to eat. How about you join us?” Twilight asked.

“Oh thank you, but I have to visit Fluttershy, she wants to dinner with me and all her animals” Pinkie smiled.

“See you tomorrow!” Pinkie said in her high Pinkie- voice.

“Bye” Twilight answered.

“Now come on Spike, it’s late now.”

They went to the Golden Oak library and Twilight was cooking some nice food for them. Especially for spike she bought some Diamonds.

They ate until the sun was completely down.

“Ahh, that was delicious, wasn’t it?” Spike yawned.

“I think there is some baby dragon that needs his sleep” Twilight smiled.

“Yeah” spike answered. After helping Twilight with the dishes he was going upstairs to get some sleep. Twilight was doing some cleaning in the kitchen when she went to bed at 12 o’ clock.

Every pony was sleeping deep at this night.

It was very late in the night when black fog was coming slow but dangerously out of the everfree forest, covering everything in darkness…

At the next morning Twilight got up early.

She was going downstairs to get her some breakfast. Spike was sleeping deep in his bed and she didn’t want to wake him up.

Twilight looked outside the Window. It was a cloudy day.

She was just drinking some apple juice when someone was hysterically banging on her door.

*BANG, BANG, BANG*

Who could disturb her so early she thought.

Twilight got up and was just on the way to the door. When she opened it, an orange pony with a cowboy hat was standing in front of the door.

“Applejack, why can’t this wait until later!?”

Applejack looked a little bit worried when she started talking.

“Twilight, ah’ got bad news for ya’” she said.

Twilight made one step away to let Applejack come in.

“Wanna get some breakfast?” Twilight asked but Applejack refused “There is now something more important than this” she said with a serious look.

Twilight went her full attention to Applejack. “Ok, what happened so important?” Twilight asked still a little bit tired. Applejack started “Well, how could ah’ tell ya. Some ponies on tha’ marketplace were talkin’ about some strange phenomena yesterday night”.

“And?” Twilight was asking her.

Applejack continued “They were talkin’ about all pegasi disappeared last night. First ah’ was thinkin’ they were just jokin’ but then I went ta’ Fluttershy’s cottage ta’ see if she’s allright, she wasn’t at home. She left without tellin’ where she went. SHE NEVER DOES THAT’” Applejack was getting louder. “That does not mean that they were right. Why are you so sure?” Twilight answered. “Well, ah’ went ta’ see if Dashie is allright. I was runnin’ ta’ her house ta’ see after her. But s-she wasn’t there”. After Applejack was done telling her the story, Twilight was saying frightened “Well, then there’s just one way. We’ve got to find them! But where should we start?” Twilight looked a bit desperate. Applejack was looking at her “They were talkin’ about some strange fog that came out from the everfree forest”.

Twilight shouted for Spike “Spike, SPIKE?!”

A small sleepy dragon appeared at the stairs. He was looking a little bit grumpy. “What is so important, that you need now!?”

Twilight answered him “Bring my Bag and prepare some lunch, Applejack and I have to go for a trip”.

“Yes ma’ am” Spike answered.

They had a long way before them…

A way to go

Chapter 2

A way to go

Twilight got her bag and took in the lunch spike made for them.

They were leaving the library when spike was following.

When Twilight noticed that, she turned around and faced to spike.

“Spike, I know you really want to come with me and Applejack. But I think the place we go could be very dangerous, so I think it is the best when you’re staying at the library.”

“Oh, come on Twilight!” Spike groaned.

“I’m sorry, spike” she answered when the little disappointed dragon went back inside the library.

Twilight and Applejack started to go through the marketplace. They were looking around and saw some worried ponies around, talking about the appearances of last night.

Voice1:

“I don’t know what happened but my friend Cloudchaser disappeared. I was searching for her everyplace she’d normally is but nothing-“

Voice2:

“Oh my, that’s terrible. I’ve heard that even the Wonderbolts should be disappeared.”

Twilight and Applejack came a bit closer to talk with them.

Voice1:

“Oh, the princess. Please tell us what happened last night!”

Some more ponies from the marketplace were coming closer and surrounded Twilight.

“Well, I don’t know. The information came to me in the morning. I can’t say what happened. That’s why we have to find it out” twilight told them.

“Allright sugarcube. Ah think we’ve got ta’ go, ta’ find out what happened” Applejack said.

They two started to leave the marketplace. Many eyes were following them until they disappeared.

Twilight and Applejack were going in the direction of the everfree forest when they stopped in front of it.

“I hope nothing bad happened to them” Twilight said.

“Ah’ guess they’re fine.” Applejack said, but the look she did was telling Twilight that these words were more hope than certain.

They started walking into the Everfree forest.

“So where do ya’ wanna go?” Applejack asked.

“I don’t really know where we should start, but I think I have an idea who could help us.” Twilight said.

With this the two ponies went inside the forest…

It felt like they were walking for hours now.

“Ahm gettin’ tired Twilight, can we get some break?” Applejack Asked.

Twilight nodded “OK, I think we were walking long enough.”

The two ponies found an old tree trunk lying at the side of the way.

They two sat down on it when Applejack started talking to Twilight.

“Uhm, Twilight?”

“Yes?”

“Where exactly do we wanna’ go?”

“I’m not sure if she could help us exactly, but when there does someone knowing much more about the forest then us, it is Zecora” Twilight answered.

Suddenly they heard a strange noise not far away from them. It was a terrible howling.

“Did ya’ hear this?!” Applejack said a little bit scared.

“No,” Twilight responded “I heard noth-“ Twilight was stopped by an even louder voice. “Ah don’t know what this is but ah’ think it’s coming closer” Applejack told her.

Suddenly a big creature jumped in front of them.

“Timberwolves!!!” Applejack shouted, jumped up and started running.

Twilight was following her, but it seemed that she was not as fast as Applejack.

The creature was coming closer and closer.

“Twilight run faster!!!” Applejack shouted.

“I CAN’T!” Twilight responded.

Then it happened.

Twilight got hit by the Timberwolf’s claw.

“TWILIGHT!” Applejack shouted when Twilight hit the ground.

She ran back as fast as she could.

Now she was standing there, protective before Twilight, watching eye to eye at the Timberwolf. “Nopony threads mah’ friends like this!” Applejack shouted at him.

The Timberwolf started growling at her.

Applejack started running and shouted “Come an’ get me!”

The Timberwolf started hunting after her.

Applejack ran as fast as she could. When she looked back, the Timberwolf was very close to her. (Oh no, I have ta’ knock him out before he gets me!) She thought, as she saw two trees that were very close to each other. She was rushing into their direction.

The Timberwolf was coming closer and closer.

*BANG!*

The Timberwolf stucked between the two trees. He tried to free himself but it didn’t worked.

Applejack was rushing to Twilight, helping her to get up.

“Are you allright, sugarcube?” she cast a worried look at Twilight.

“I think I’m OK” Twilight answered.

She has had many scars and was bleeding, but there was not much time. Nopony could say how long the Timberwolf would stuck at the trees.

The Sun was about to go down when they reached Zecora’s tree.

Applejack knocked at the door. It was opened by the zebra.

“What had brought you two here, you look like chased by the bear.” Zecora looked at them and let them come into her house.

Now while they were safe, Applejack took a closer look at Twilight.

“Oh mah’ gosh, Twilight, you’re bleeding”

Twilight looked at her back when she realized three big bleeding scars.

“Zecora, could ya’ do somethin’ ta help Twilight?” the orange pony looked worried at Zecora.

“The hurt looks bad, let me see what I have” she answered.

Zecora went to a box. She took out some bandages of it and went to Twilight.

It took some time. Zecora was dripping some mysterious liquid at the scars and wrapped the bandages over it.

After she finished her work, she asked them what happened.

Applejack told her everything about the Timberwolf. When she was done, Twilight started to talk to Zecora.

“Well, but we were coming to you for another reason.” Twilight started. “Something terrible happened.” Twilight took some sips from a tea Zecora gave her before to calm her down.

She continued “Last night there was some terrible fog that appeared everywhere. And now all pegasi seemed to be disappeared…”

After telling Zecora everything, she started: “Well, this fog last night was strange. But where it came its ways. The mountains were the place, the fog was just released”

“So we have to go to the Mountains?” Twilight asked.

“Yes, but not now. Your body needs his rest, it is the best, you stay at night. Otherwise creatures will just bite!”

It sounded like a warning from Zecora. She was right. There were some dangerous creatures out there in the forest, especially at night.

“Well ah’ think we should stay. It’s the best. Especially for ya’ , Twilight.

So Twilight and Applejack decided to stay there at night.

What would wait for them at the mountains? Are Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy still alive? Twilight thought much about it until she felt asleep.

Pathfinder

Chapter 3

Far away

It was a very silent morning when Twilight got up. She felt a little bit weak since the incident from last day. When she went out of bed, she realised that Applejack had been lying in front of her all the night.

“Applejack, wake up!” Twilight softly tipped her hoof at Applejack to wake her up.

“Huh? Oh mornin’ Twi” Applejack yawned.

“Have you been up all night?” Twilight asked.

“Yeah, I was worried about ya’ so I couldn’t sleep” Applejack said.

Zecora was already awake and brewed some kind of coffee.

“Good morning. Get something to drink, before you think about your journey” Zecora gave Applejack and Twilight a cup full of the substance she brewed.

After they finished drinking they started to talk about their destination.

“Well, now we should talk about our way. I’ve read something about all the dangers in the Everfree forest” Twilight talked to Applejack.

“Allright sugarcube, what is your plan?” Applejack answered.

“Well, I think there’s one path you have to find, so keep in mind”.

Zecora told them how they get to the mountains fast and safe.

“I think it is time for us to go now. Clock is ticking” Twilight said, when they went to the Door.

“Thank ya’ for yer’ help, Zecora” Applejack said, as they left the Tree.

“You are welcome!” Zecora said with her accent when she closed the door.

Twilight started to go into the direction Zecora told them before. Applejack followed her.

“So do ya’ think they are ok!?” Applejack went to Twilight.

“Well, I can’t say you. But I hope they are Ok”.

Applejack nodded. She will not think about what could happened to them and if they could ever find them again.

It was a long way they both walked since one hour now.

“Hmm, that is impossible! There should be an intersection but there is nothing.” Twilight said confused.

“Do ya’ wanna’ say ta’ me that we are not on the right way!?” Applejack yelled at Twilight.

“I’m really sorry AJ, but I think, we’ve lost our way” Twilight said.

Applejack came closer to Twilight and gave her a hug.

“Don’t ya’ worry Twilight, we will find the right way” Applejack answered her.

“We’ve ta’ climb onto one of the trees to see in which direction we’ve ta’ go”

Applejack started climbing onto one of the trees.

“Be careful, Applejack!” Twilight shouted up the tree. She wouldn’t see Applejack falling down and get hurt.

“Don’t ya’ worry Twi” Applejack answered when she reached the top of the tree. When she looked around, she saw the big mountains in one direction.

It was pretty far away and they would have to walk there for hours.

After she had seen everything, Applejack went down the tree. When she touched the ground, Twilight went to her and checked if she is ok.

“I’m allright Twi. We have ta’ go in this direction” Applejack putted her hoof up and showed in one direction.

They started to walk there.

They were walking a long time without saying any word.

Then they came to a very small and instable looking suspension bridge.

When they walked closer to it, they saw a hundred meter deep canyon with a wild river inside it.

“Uhm Twilight?”

“Yeah Applejack?”

“Do ya’ think this way is really safe?”

“Let’s hope so”

Twilight started to walk to the bridge. She came closer and putted her right hoof onto the first wooden plank.

“It seems to be safe” she answered.

Twilight started to walk over the Bridge. Applejack started following her.

They walked very carefully and slow because they didn’t know how stable this Bridge would be. They’ve already passed over the half when it happened.

*CRACK*

“Aaaaah, Twilight!”

One wooden plank cracked when Applejack went over it.

Now she was hanging there, Holding herself with here forehooves.

“APPLEJACK!” Twilight shouted and started rushing to her.

“I can’t hold mah’self any longer!” Applejack shouted.

“Take my hoof!” Twilight screamed.

But it was too late. Applejack slipped off and started falling.

She closed her eyes and started screaming but then she was stopped by something.

Applejack opened her eyes and looked around.

Twilight was performing a spell that stopped Applejack from falling.

She brought her to the other side of the canyon and layed her down on the ground.

Applejack was in a shock state when Twilight ran towards her.

“Applejack! Are you allright? Don’t do this again!” Tears ran down Twilights face when she looked at Applejack.

“I- I’m allright, Twi. Thank you” Applejack answered.

Twilight started to hug her. Applejack wiped down the tears of Twilights cheek.

“I don’t want to lose you” Twilight said to her when tears began to roll down her face again.

“Don’t cry sugarcube, Ahm’ ok. We should go now”

They both got up and started to walk into the direction of the mountains.

“You’re right, Applejack. We have to find our friends. I hope they’re ok”

And with this they both went to the way.

After two hours they were standing in front of the Mountains.

“And now?” Applejack asked.

“Well, Zecora told me that the Mountains have a big cave inside and so we have to find it.” Twilight answered.

“Allright, then we should go an’ find it” Applejack said.

They two went to a small path that was going up to the mountains.

“I think we should go up this way, I can remember Zecora was saying something about it.”

“Allright, then let’s get to it” Applejack answered.

They followed the path up until they stopped.

“Oh no, how can we get around there” Twilight started to take a closer look at the tree which had fallen on the path.

“Step aside Twi, this could get dangerous“

Applejack started to buck at the tree as it began to roll down to the ground.

The path was now free and they both could resume their trip.

As they came to a platform at the middle of the Mountain, they saw the big entry of a cave in front of them.

“I think we’ve found the cave” Twilight said.

“Well, let’s get into it.” Applejack answered.

They both started to walk into the cave until they disappeared...

The Truth

Chapter 4

The Truth

Twilight performed some spell and her horn started to glow.

Applejack was following close to her.

This was a very creepy cave. It was also very big and there were much ways they could go.

They both walked deeper into it until they came to an intersection.

“And now?” Applejack asked.

“I don’t know, but I think we should go the right way first and if we’re wrong we can come back and choose the next way.” Twilight answered.

They both started to walk into the smaller tunnel at the right side.

They were walking into the deep darkness with only the weak light of Twilights horn.

“So, why are ya’ so nervous. sugarcube?” Applejack asked Twilight.

“Well, it’s just that I’m feeling that there is something strange behind what happened” Twilight answered.

They both continued to walk.

*BOOOM*

“Whoa!!!” Applejack screamed.

“What happened?” Twilight asked her.

When they turned around to see what happened they saw that the tunnel collapsed behind them.

“Oh no, ah think we have ta’ go this way even if it is not right.” Applejack said to Twilight.

“Let’s hope that this Way will be the right one” Twilight answered.

They both walked in the only direction they could go.

Hours passed by while they were walking through the dark and small tunnel.

Then they saw light at the end of the tunnel.

“Look sugarcube, there’s light at the end of the tunnel” Applejack said.

Twilight just nodded. They don’t know what they will see, but they know that their friends are in this cave so they have to find it out.

When they came to the end of the tunnel, they could not believe what they saw.

There was a big underground dome.

In the middle of the dome was a huge energy ball.

“What in tarnation is that” Applejack looked aghast at the big blue glowing ball.

Twilight looked at it when she saw a mare with multi-coloured mane inside it.

“There is Rainbow Dash!” Twilight said shocked.

There were all the other missed Pegasi inside.

“That is terrible!” Applejack replied

“What are we goin’ ta do now” Applejack asked.

“We have to free them!” Twilight answered.

“Applejack, you wait here. I will try to set them free!”

Twilight started to run down the stairs around the dome.

When she arrived the ground, she started to walk towards the huge device in front of her.

She performed some spell and a big bolt shot from her horn to the energy ball.

But the energy ball just threw the bolt back into Twilights horn.

“Aahhhh!” Twilight shouted when she was hit by the bolt and hit the ground.

“Muahahah. Stupid little pony. You can’t destroy the energy field!” A dark voice started to talk with her.

“Who… are you!?” Twilight stood up back on her hooves when she realised who was standing in front of her.

“No- No. That is impossible. It couldn’t be you“ Twilight said confused.

In front of her he stood. A dark grey unicorn with a black spiky mane and tail.

It was King Sombra.

“B- But you were dead!” Twilight said shocked.

“But now I’m back and Equestria will feel my power.” He answered.

“Minions! Our little visitor here likes to join us” he shouted when some changelings came and tied up Twilight.

Applejack was watching everything what was going on down there.

(Oh no, they got Twilight. I have ta’ help her) Applejack thought.

In the meantime, Twilight was brought beside a huge throne that belongs to King Sombra.

They gave her a necklace with a chain on it. Now she was lying there. Tied up and chained.

King Sombra came closer to her and performed some spell on Twilights horn.

“We don’t want you to do something stupid” he said towards her when he started to laugh.

“You won’t get away with this” Twilight said when she tried to use her magic. It didn’t worked.

King Sombra’s spell seemed to block her magic. It was the same spell like they used it in the equestrian games to prevent cheating.

Now she was helpless.

“I hope you are comfortable, princess Twilight Sparkle” Sombra started to talk.

“I will introduce you into my magnificent plan.” King Sombra sat down on his throne beside Twilight.

“You might ask yourself why I caught all pegasi inside this energy field there. Well there’s a simple answer.” Sombra sat up and started to walk towards a pedestal with much levers and switches.

“I will use all of their wingpower to create a horrible Storm that will destroy everything in whole Equestria!” He let out an evil laugh.

“And then we will build us a new dark Equestria and everypony will be our slave!”

King Sombra turned on a big switch when the device came to life. It was a terrible noise the device made. Then all the pegasi inside started to groan. The device started its work and sucked out the energy of the pegasi.

“It will take much time to get all their wingpower but then I can create your doom!” king Sombra responded.

Is this the end of Twilight and all her friends?

The Fall

Chapter 5

The Fall

Applejack watched everything behind the rock she was hiding.

(Oh no, that’s cruel) she thought.

Then she watched beside the thrown of Sombra:

Twilight was lying there, helpless, tied and no magic she could use to do something.

She just watched sad at the ground.

(Poor Twilight, ah have ta’ help yer’)

Applejack started to run to the next rock where she could hide.

Now she was close enough to see King Sombra staying at the control pedestal and doing some settings at this horrible device.

All the pegasi inside the giant energy ball had a very sad and painful look at their faces.

Applejack took a closer look when she found Fluttershy.

(Oh mah’ gosh, don’t ya’ worry Fluttershy, soon you will be free)

Applejack shed one tear as she realized how bad this situation was.

If she couldn’t set them free they would die.

It badly hurts her thinking about such things.

She had to make some Plan on how she could help Twilight.

If Twilight could come free they had a better chance to free everypony but this wasn’t as easy as bucking some apples down a tree.

(Hmm, if ah want ta’ free twilight ah have ta’ get her free from that necklace) Applejack thought

The ropes Twilight was tied up where no problems for her.

But there was a padlock at the necklace so she has to find the key to open it.

“Hmmm”

Applejack took a closer look to find the place where the key was.

She found it after searching for two minutes.

There it was, at a wall.

But in front of it was one minion of king Sombra. The minion stared around like Sombra would kill him if he would close his eyes.

Applejack knew it was the only way to get Twilight free so she just started to create a plan out of the current situation.

She searched around to find something useful she could use when she saw that the handrail of the stairs were ropes.

“That’s it!”

Applejack scurried to the stairs and took the rope with her.

She started to walk down the stairs, as she reached the ground she started to hide herself behind some crates.

She was very close to the key and the minion who was watching over it.

Applejack took the rope and started to scurry as close as she could.

Then she started to swing the rope like a lasso and throw it towards the minion.

She had to cover his mouth so he could not call for help.

Success! Applejack ran towards the tied up minion and gave him a buck.

The minion was knocked out. To prevent the other ones to realise what happened she took him and laid him down behind some crates.

Now she could get the key.

She ran towards it and took it.

She scurried towards the throne, still hiding behind every box so no one could see her.

When she reached the throne she started to unlock the necklace and untie Twilight.

Twilight took up her head

“Applejack!”

Twilight was very happy to see her.

Applejack helped Twilight up.

“Ah would never leave mah’ friends in the lurch” Applejack said to her.

Twilight started to rub at her horn.

“I have to get this spell of” Twilight said.

“it can only be done by the one who casted the spell or by a princess” she said.

“But you are a princess!” Applejack looked at Twilight.

“Well, I don’t know if it works when I’m doing it on my own. I tried it before but it didn’t worked” Twilight looked deep into Applejacks eyes.

“Ah know you can do it Twi, ahm believin’ in ya!” Applejack looked into Twilights eyes.

“You’re right” Twilight said.

She started to perform some spell against the field around her horn.

It started to Glow and the field around it started to get unstable.

*Zap!*

Twilight successfully removed the ban from her horn.

“Applejack, you wait here while I will have a little talk with king Sombra.” Twilight told her.

“But Twi-” Applejack was interrupted by Twilight.

“Applejack, there are no excuses. I have to do this on my own” with this sentence she started to run towards the pedestal where Sombra was standing and controlling the big machine.

“Let them go or I will give you a lesson” Twilight shouted at him.

“How did you get free!?” Sombra bewildered looked at the purple unicorn standing in front of him.

“Wherever, you can’t stop me finishing my plan!”

With this sentence Sombra’s horn started to glow and a big flash hit Twilight.

She felt down and hit the ground but was standing up again and started to shoot at Sombra. They both started to collide their streams and fighting each other.

Applejack horrified watched everything what happened in front of her eyes.

She thought about Twilights warning. Twilight doesn’t want Applejack to come with her and help to fight against king Sombra.

But Twilight never said anything about helping the pegasi.

Applejack watched to the pedestal when she saw that Sombra had left it to fight against Twilight.

That was her chance. She started to run towards the pedestal.

When she arrived at it she started to watch at all the levers and switches.

There must be one that could turn off this cruel device.

Applejack pressed on some buttons when the device came to a stop.

All the pegasi inside started to groan caused by the stop.

King Sombra realised that the machine stopped working.

He groaned angrily, throwing Twilight away with one powerful shot.

When he turned around to see what has stopped the machine, he started to walk closer to the orange earth pony.

“You fool, what have you done”

His horn started to glow when he angrily looked at Applejack.

He let out one powerful shot that hit Applejack and brought her to the ground.

Twilight got up and started to scream when she saw Applejack lying there.

“No one treats my friends like this!” Twilight started to shot at him again.

Her Horn started to release more power than before.

The stream from Sombra was getting weaker and then it happened.

Twilight hit Sombra causing him to hit the ground. It seemed that he was K.O.

Twilight started to run towards Applejack holding one of her hooves to Applejack to help her up.

“Are you ok?” Twilight asked her with a worried look.

“Ah think so” Applejack answered.

They both started to run to the pedestal and looked at the switches.

When Applejack found one big switch lever with the description ‘Energy field’ she started to run towards it.

She did one big buck to turn the switch down.

Suddenly a loud sound filled the underground dome.

The energy field started to disappear when all the pegasi started to fly out of the dome.

Fluttershy and Rainbow Dash started flying down to the ground beside Applejack and Twilight.

“Thank you so much” Fluttershy started to cry when hugged her.

Everypony was free now and they had their friends back.

Twilight started to think about how much their friends meant to her.

“Whaaah!”

Suddenly they turned around saw that King Sombra got up and caught Rainbow Dash.

“Dashie!” They started to scream.

Twilight lost no single second and turned to Sombra, her horn glowing.

“Don’t come any closer or she gets hurt” king Sombra said when he saw Twilight ready to fight him.

Twilight’s horn suddenly stopped glowing. She didn’t want Dashie to get hurt.

“So you like your friend, huh?” Sombra started to laugh evil.

He started to tie her up and walk towards his thrown.

He laid Rainbow Dash down and brought some device from behind his thrown.

“Now your friend here will pay for what you’ve done”

Sombra took the device that looked like a harness and started to wear it on rainbow Dash’s Body.

He strapped the belts of the harness and plugged the cable into a Device beside his thrown.

Then Sombra turned the device on.

Thy cyan Pegasus started to groan painfully.

“Nooooo!” Twilight started to scream.

The device seemed to suck out the energy of Rainbow Dash.

Dashie’s eyelids started to fall closer.

She could feel how her body got weaker and weaker.

Twilight started to perform some spell.

Her eyes started to glow white and she seemed to hover over the ground.

Then it happened: Twilight fired one big white stream at king Sombra and everything went white.

“Noooooooo!”

King Sombra painfully screamed inside of the white light.

Then the white light stopped.

Twilight felt down to the ground as she realised that she has defeated king Sombra.

Applejack started to run to the device and turned it off.

Twilight and Fluttershy followed Applejack.

Rainbow Dash was lying there.
