Traitor // Book 5

"Girls, I'm nervous", Applejack said. "What if Twilight's after us?"

"Nonsense, Applejack", Rainbow Dash said. "I could knock her out cold."

"I don't know...", Pinkie Pie said. "She went after Fluttershy. We've been hiding for three months, also!"

"Can we also get a decent meal?" Rarity asked.

The four ponies sat on one of the benches at the Train Station - in Ponyville.

"After we get to Appleloosa", Applejack. "Some of the relatives are allowing us to stay for awhile."

The train pulled up to the station, and they all boarded. Some other ponies quickly got on, before it took off to the next station.

"But what's our plan if Twilight tries to get us?" Rainbow Dash asked.

"Then, we'll all say our goodbyes", Applejack answered. "There's no hope in this world anymore."

Rarity sighed.

"I miss Fluttershy", she said.

"We all do", Pinkie Pie responded back.

After a few minutes of silence and the faint chatting from the next cart, they arrived at Manehattan. Ponies boarded the train, and it took off again.

"Rainbow Dash, have you been able to talk to Scootaloo?" Applejack asked.

"I haven't heard from that squirt since the beginning", Rainbow Dash said.

You could hear from the other cart that the Conductor was coming. The four got their tickets out, ready to give them to the Conductor.

"I hope she's okay", Rarity said.

"She probably-", Applejack was cut off when she looked up to see the Conductor, was Twilight.

"Hello girls", Twilight said. She frowned.

"What do you want from us now!?" They all said at the same time.

"I'm not hear to hurt you", Twilight said, walking formally past them, and the girls huddled together in fear. Twilight turned around when she made it to the other end of the cart.

"I came here because I found this", Twilight said. She walked over, and took the locket out from under her wing.

"That's Scootaloo's", Pinkie Pie said.

"I know it is", Twilight said, using her magic to give the locket to the girls. Rarity took it with her magic.

"What's the point of this, Twilight?" Rainbow Dash asked. "You obviously want something."

"I do want something", Twilight said. "I want forgiveness."

"Why do you want us to forgive you?" Applejack asked.

"Because, I've done horrible things in this period of time", Twilight said.

"You still keep Celestia hostage", Rarity spat.

"If you won't forgive me, fine", Twilight said. "I have better."

With her magic, Twilight made appear five ponies - but they were grey. They were discorded.

The five discorded ponies were Applejack, Rainbow Dash, Rarity, Pinkie Pie, and an alive discorded Fluttershy.

"How did you do that!?" Applejack yelled.

"With a little help from my friends", Twilight smiled. Babs Seed, Fleet Foot, and Spitfire walked into the cart.

"Babs Seed!?" Applejack asked.

"Sorry cous', but I gotta job to do", Babs Seed said.

"Spitfire?" Rainbow Dash asked, stepping out of the huddle. "You joined Twilight?"

"You honestly think that I would let my team fall?" Spitfire chuckled. "Come on Rainbow Dash, you know better."

"Join me, girls", Twilight said. "We can rule the world, together."

"Never!" Pinkie Pie hissed.

"Why in the name of Equestria would we join you?" Rarity asked.

"Because you will die under Twilight's power if you don't!" Discorded Rarity spat.

"You can join the Wonderbolts, Rainbow Dash", Fleet Foot said. "All you need to do is say yes."

Rainbow Dash gulped.

"Come on cous', you can expand Sweet Apple Acres across the world!" Babs said.

"Rarity, you can make your fashion the biggest thing in Equestria", Twilight said. "Join us."

"Fine."

"What!?" The other three ponies stared at Rainbow Dash.

"I'll join the Wonderbolts," Rainbow Dash said.

Spitfire smirked. Fleet Foot had worry in her eyes. Rainbow Dash walked over to join the villains.

"Come on girls, join us", Spitfire said.
