Previous Chapter

Rarity looks at Discord ‘You want to what!’ ‘I want to help’ he looks at her ‘didn’t I just say that?’ ‘But, but your Discord you don’t help!’ ‘Well this time I will be helping even though I don’t usually’ ‘What’s in it for you’ she says as she glares at him. ‘Friendship’ he looks at her and Rarity could swear that there were tears in his eyes ‘Fluttershy, Fluttershy saved me from Sombra by giving herself to him….’ ‘I was released by the Princess to fight Sombra but I was captured’ ‘He’s too powerful and….and he turned Fluttershy with the blink of an eye’. ‘I want her back and you are one of the only ones who can help me. He moves over to the table that his tea is on and snapping his fingers a cheeseboard appears. On the board are pieces shaped like Discord, the princess’s, Twilight, Rarity, Sombra, the rest of Rarity’s friends and 4 shadowy figures. One of the figures was in a square that looked like Ponyvile, another two were next to a square that looked like Canterlot. Rainbow was in the Canterlot square along with Princess Celestia and around them were two of the shadowy figures. The other shadow figures were in the Crystal Empire and Ponyvile. The she noticed what was around Twilights neck. ‘That isn’t’ whispers Rarity. ‘Yes, it is’ Discord looks sadly at the board ‘Sombra is deceiving her into becoming so powerful that she is easily corrupted. ‘oh no we must help’. ‘I agree’. ‘The let’s get down to business’ they sit down and begin planning.

Rainbow stared at Twilight as she stepped out of the shadow. ‘Twilight’ she whispered ‘you’re alive?!’ ‘Yea’ she says as if it were no big deal. Rainbow’s injuries had all been healed but her eye which was covered in blood soaked gauze. They embrace and then Rainbow asks the question Twilight was dreading. ‘Where are the others, I mean I know what happened to Pinkie but what about Fluttershy and Rarity?’ ‘They’re…….they’re gone, Fluttershy was caught and killed after she almost killed me in my library well I rested from maintaining the shield. She was caught by Rarity and then I…..I disposed of her.’ ‘Aw man’ Rainbow says sadly ‘what happened to Rarity’. ‘I honestly don’t know, she told me to leave when we only had 500 ponies left.’ ‘Crap’ said Rainbow. ‘How did you use the shadows like that?’ ‘I found an amulet that gives me an increased amount of magical power’. ‘Awesome’ says Rainbow ‘where is it’. ‘It….it was consumed in the shadow travel’. ‘Oh’ Rainbow looks disheartened for a second then says ‘common Celestia will want to see you!’ ‘Ok’ says Twilight. Twilights eyes flash red as she follows Rainbow.

Rarity looked at the board. ‘Ok then, the spell is ready’ Discord nods his head and uses his chaos energy to boost her power. The Rarity starts muttering the words under her breath and a blinding flash of light appears. When she is no longer blinded she looks up to find herself in a hallway of Canterlot castle, she starts to run.
