Death City

The holy racecarghost has arrived. Save your applause for the end of the chapter. I don't really have much to say about this chapter besides that it will be that start of a new adventure. Let’s see what happens to the gang.

Chapter 6 – As Sweet As Can Be

It was a cool crisp summer day in the land of Equestria. The intruders had already laid waste to Ponyville the other day and had left hours ago. Today was a very important day to the ponies in Twilight's library. This would be their first rescue.

Fluttershy was the first of the gang to wake up. She had trouble sleeping all night. Visions of her and Dusk passed through her mind. How happy they were when they were younger made Fluttershy a bit sad. But, she knew that today would be the day in which she could rescue him , the day she could confess on how much she really missed him, on how much she really loved him.

Suddenly, Fluttershy had heard some yawning from her left ear, followed by the cracking of bones. She turned her head to see Twilight awake and stretching her hooves.

“Morining Fluttershy” Twilight said as she noticed Fluttershy was also awake. Fluttershy just gave her a quick nod and turned the other way to look out the window. Even in the daytime, she could still see the Ark in the distance. The Ark happened to be a circular figure with a pipe coming down to Equestria in the distance. The pipe was the only way to get in and out of the Ark.

After she was done stretching, Twilight turned her head the other way to see what time it was. “Oh my Celestia!” She yelled. It was 10:30a.m and they were supposed to be awake by 8:00a.m. “Everypony get up now!”

Soon, all the other ponies in the room had awoke, all of them but Rainbow Dash.

“Five more minutes.” She mumbled before rolling her head to the other side of the pillow.

“Rainbow Dash, this is serious!” Twilight yelled. “We were supposed to be on our way hours ago. We are already late enough, your just making it worse for everypony.”

“You guys just go on without me, you don't really need my help” She said while her eyes were still shut. “It's not like the Ark is heavily guarded with security guards.”

“We don't have time for this.” Thunder Ice said. With that, he used his magic to levitate the sleepy Rainbow Dash out of her sleeping bag.

“H-hey! What are you doing?!” Rainbow asked demandingly.

“Teaching you a lesson “ Thunder ice responded, levitating her higher, then all of a sudden, letting go his magical grip on her. Rainbow Dash fell to the floor followed by a thud from the impact.

“Whats your problem?!” Rainbow dash furiously asked while rubbing her forehead in pain,

“My problem is that I have to constantly live in the same room as you, as well as breathe the same air as you” Thunder Ice responded

“My little ponies, do you realize whats happening? Look what Discord is doing to us. If this continues, we won't be able to get anywhere.” Twilight mentioned “If we can just work together, we can get through this and get our world back.”

“Fine.” Thunder Ice answered “But don't expect Rainbow and me to become friends or anything.”

“Heh, like I want to be friends with some colt who sucks his hoof and talks in his sleep.” Rainbow Dash said.

“You really don't want to see my dark side.” Thunder Ice shot back.

“You wanna go?” Rainbow Dash added. “ I'll kick you flank in ten seconds flat”

“ENOUGH!” Twilight yelled. “I'm sick of all this fighting!”With that said, she quickly used her magic to zip up not only Rainbow Dash's mouth, but also Thunder Ice's mouth too.

“Now, until you two can get along, you won't be able to talk, understand?” Twilight mentioned

All Thunder Ice and Rainbow Dash could do was nod to Twilights question.

“Good.” She said. “Now, let's go eat before we leave.” With that said, Twilight went into the kitchen followed by the rest of the gang.

Once the group arrived at Twilights kitchen, everypony was taken aback at what they saw. A red tablecloth with pink and orange flowers on it held an assortment of different kinds of breakfast meals. Wheat pancakes, hay sandwiches, even egg and toast. Everything was not only made to perfection, but was also still warm.

“FOOD!” screamed Pinkie Pie as she dashed over to the wheat pancakes, diving head first into them, and chewing them obnoxiously loud for everypony to hear.

“Twilight, I didn't know yall could cook.” Applejack joined in.

“I didn't cook this, honestly.” Twilight replied.

“Then if yall didn't cook this, who did?” Applejack questioned.

Just as if on cue, a sizzling sound flew through the air, able for everypony to hear. They all turned their heads in the direction in which the sound was coming from, only to see none other than a red, metallic pony cooking eggs on Twilight's stove.

“Spectrum! Did you make all this?” Seamus asked, still hidden by everypony else in fron of him.

All Spectrum did was turn his head towards Seamus, then, as always, began to look down as if he had done something wrong.

“No darling, what you did wasn't wrong at all.” Rarity mentioned, while taking a bite of a hay sandwich. “If I should say so myself, Its delightful.”

“This food isn't just delightful, Its amazing!” Pinkie added while stuffing her mouth with eggs and hay. “You guys should really try some of this!”

After saying that, the rest of the gang made their way around the table and began to try the food for themselves. And shockingly, they all loved it, all except for Raymond.

“Raymond, aren't you gonna try some of this magnificent breakfast?” Twilight asked, pushing a hay sandwich towards Raymond. All Raymond did was turn his back to Twilight and closed his eyes, still leaning with his back two hooves against the wall.

“Don't worry Twilight. For all I know, let him starve to death till he comes back to us, begging for mercy.” Rarity spoke. Twilight was shocked that her friend had stooped so low as to assume such a thing. Trying to change the subject, Twilight spoke up.

“So this whole time when we were asleep, you were fixing breakfast for us?” Twilight asked Spectrum. All he did was look back at the ground again and went back to the eggs he was cooking.

After everypony had finished eating, they began to prepare for what would be one of their hardest experiences of their life. Each of them were scurrying around Twilights library, trying to find any sort of material that could either be used as a weapon, or as armor. They needed all the help they could get, considering the Ark was nearly impossible to escape, not mentioning how hard it is to even get there in the first place. Once everypony was done gathering all the weapons they could find, the met back downstairs by the entrance of the library.

“Alright!” Twilight shouted, trying her best to be the general of the group. “What we are facing here is a life-or-death situation right here and now. One of our own allies has been captured and it is our job to not only find him, but rescue him at all costs. I will not be taking no as an answer. Am I clear!”

At first, nopony answered.

“AM I CLEAR!” Twilight yelled in her loudest tone possible.

Everypony began shaking their heads violently signaling that they were ready for the journey.

“Good, now, according to the map right here.” Twilight said, using her magic to pull out a map from her saddlebag.

“Oh brother.” Snake said to Raymond, rolling his eyes.

“I herd that!” Twilight said, getting ticked off on what Snake said. “Now as I left off, according to this map, we will have to travel through........ the Everfree forest to reach the Ark.”

“The Everfree forest!” Everypony said, while a shiver was sent through all their spines.

“I know this voyage will be risky, but with Fluttershy at our side, we can and will be able to do this. Now, who's with me?”

Like before, nopony answered her and just stood there.

“I said, WHO'S WITH ME!” Twilight yelled

This startled the crowd, and everypony soon began cheering and stomping their hooves on the ground signaling that they were ready.

“Now lets do this.” Twilight said, leading the group of ponies with her.

At the back of the group was Fluttershy as she mumbled to herself:

“I'm coming for you, Dusk.”

Another chapter done. I am on a roll. I am, as always, still looking for new OC's and song requests and I haven't been getting many lately. Also, some sad news: the NJASK is coming up soon and on the week of the test, I am getting my laptop confiscated by my parents until the test is over. Until then, I can't have any updates to this story since it is testing week. I will warn you beforehand the week of the test. With that said, I hoped you like this chapter and I would appreciate it if you reviewed my story. Review or perish.
