Lost: Amnesia

We ran out the alleyway looking for other ponies in need. It seemed like the changelings were disappearing however. When we finally did find some they were surrounding three little fillies!

There were five changelings, all ready to kill the fillies. Before any of them could strike I cut the head off of one. They all looked at me and Fang.

"Fang, you distract the changelings, I'll save the fillies. Got it?" Fang nodded in agreement.

He darted out, making sure to attack each changeling at least once, and ran away, luring the changelings. I quickly ran over to the fillies. An earth pony with a red mane and soft yellow coat, a pegasus with an orange coat and purple mane, and a unicorn with white coat and purple mane with a pink streak through it. I realized that their hooves were glued to the ground and cut each of them out.

I jammed my katana through my pack, since I knew Rarity could fix it anyways, and picked each of them up and asked them where to go. They said that gaurds were on the outskirts of Ponyville and that we could take them there. I started running fast, but the weight of the three fillies slowed me down.

Rainbowdash flew by my side and offered to help. "I can take them off your hooves, er, hands for you."

Something was off about her. She seemed a bit too kind to be Rainbowdash. But I saw Fang running away from a whole swarm of changelings, so I needed the help! Still, something was off about her, so I didn't trust her. I knew Fang could take care of himself however. "No thanks. I got this."

Rainbowdash didn't give up. "Come on. Let me help out! We've been friends as long as I can remember!"

I stopped. "Wait, I thought you didn't like me when I first arrived?" My suspicion grew when she started sweating. I set the fillies down and pulled the katana out of my Pack. "How do I know you're the real Rainbowdash?"

She started sweating more. "C-Come on. You know me! We've been friends our whole lives!"

"I didn't know you till three days ago, and I'm eighteen years old." I raised my weapon. "Don't play any games. I will strike."

Out of nowhere, another Rainbowdash flew and tackled the other! They both struggled, biting and kicking each other!

I just watched as one of them spoke. "TAKE THEM TO THE GAURDS!!! I'LL TAKE CARE OF THIS CHANGELING!!!"

"NO, GIVE THEM TO ME!!!!! I'LL TAKE CARE OF THEM!!!!!!!"

I knew which one to trust. I jammed the katana back into my pack, picked up the fillies, and ran. As I got nearer to the edge of Ponyville, I heard the sound of buzzing, like a bee flying. From all sides, I was swarmed with by the bug-like ponies! I was doomed. I placed the fillies down behind me, grabbed my katana, and got ready to defend.

Almost immediately, they all flew towards us. I sliced each one into two pieces as they flew towards me. But each time I killed one, another changeling took its' place! As I continued slicing, I felt something sticky at my feet. I looked down. My feet were being shot at with the glue! I turned and looked at the fillies. Their hooves were being shot at with glue also! I tried to cut us free, but we kept getting shot at with it!

After I got all of the fillies cut free, Three changelings shot out and took them, flying away into the Everfree forest! I yelled as I watched them get taken away. I stopped and my head lowered. I was filled with anger. It flowed through my veins. I felt something, weird, like I was filled with enough energy to lift up a tank! I couldn't control what happened next. My eyes and body glowed white. I yanked the green slime off my feet and ran faster than Rainbowdash could fly! When I was just below the changelings I jumped up to them and sliced off their wings! I jumped up 30 feet in the air!

When the changelings dropped the fillies I reached for all three of them and tucked them close to my chest. We landed hard on the ground, but I took less damage than I was supposed to. I quickly got up and ran to the edge of town, fillies in one hand, katana blade in the other. Every time a changeling came, it was quickly sliced into two pieces with my blade.

Everything would be going great, if I hadn't tripped over something. I dropped the fillies and my blade. I looked over to see my entire leg was covered in green glue! I tried to reach my katana, but was stopped when my arms and other leg were glued to the ground! I looked into the fillies eyes as the changelings flew towards me. "Run! Run as fast as you can and don't stop until you've reached the edge of town! GO! NOW!!!"  The fillies took off without looking back to help me. I tried desperately to reach my blade. My strength had disappeared. I managed to break free of the glue with my right hand and grabbed the katana and stuck it through my pack again.

I waited for my fate, for the beasts to finish me. Instead, I was coated in glue and taken away into the Everfree forest. I was taken into a large cave, with changelings everywhere, and stuck onto the top of a large room. The room had other large, green cocoon shaped blobs of goo hanging from the ceiling. I could still move around the inside of the green blob. I sat upright and grabbed my katana.

I carefully sliced an opening through the blob, making sure it did't breaking apart from my added weight. I went over to the opening I sliced, but I must have sliced a bit to far down. The bottom part of the blob ripped open, and I almost fell down a twenty foot drop. I managed to grab a small strand of goo before I fell. I carefully jumped down and looked at the other blobs. I saw other ponies in them! There were only four, but I had to cut them out. I sliced the bottom of three of the blobs open and caught the ponies. I looked into the fourth one and saw something I couldn't believe!

"Fluttershy?" My mouth hung open as I looked closely at the pegasus. She was asleep. I cut out an opening an she fell through. I grabbed her just in time, with her left side facing me. I felt something run down my arm. I looked at her right side and found two small cuts one the right side of her face, as if something scratched her. The cut seemed a bit infected. I looked at the other ponies. An earth pony with a cream colored coat and an indigo mane with a pink streak that curled up at the end, a mint green unicorn with light blue hair with a white streak, and a grey pegasus with a blond mane and golden cross-eyed eyes.

I looked at the unicorn. "You, do you know any healing spells? I think her cuts are infected."

She gasped. "ARE YOU THE HUMAN EVERYPONY HAS BEEN TALKING ABOUT?! I ALWAYS KNEW HUMANS EXISTED AND NOW I'M MEETING ONE FOR REAL TH-"

"Yes yes I'm the human everybody has been talking about, but that doesn't answer my question."

The unicorn blushed. "Oh um, yeah I know one."

I showed her the cuts on Fluttershys' face. Her horn gave off an amber yellow glow. Fluttershys' cuts soon gave off the same colored glow. Golden swirls came from the unicorns' horn as they land on the pegasus' cuts. I looked at her wound. It was healing, slowly, but surely. After about a minute, the swirls stopped protruding from the unicorns horn, and Fluttershys' face was healed.

"Fluttershy. Fluttershy wake up! Fluttershy!"

Her eyes barely opened, but soon shot open as she remembered what had happened. "W-w-where are w-we?"

The cream coated pony answered her question. "We're in some sort of cave. Maybe the changeling hives?"

She froze. After about five seconds, tears rolled down her eyes. Soon afterward she burst into tears, putting her face in my chest. She was still in my arms, so I sat down and set her on my lap. I stroked her mane, assuring her we'll be alright. "It's ok. We'll be fine. I'll protect you if anything tries to hurt you."

She looked up from my chest, and smiled. I wiped the tears from her eyes. "Let's get out of here. I remember the exit perfectly."

She hopped off my lap. I got up and grabbed my pack from the ground. The rip in it was too big to carry my books and katana, allowing them to fall as I picked up my pack.

The grey pegasus grabbed my books and placed them in her saddlebags. "I'll carry those for you mister!"

I chuckled. Grabbing my katana, I lead them out of the room. It was too dark to see. There were torches to the other room, but they were nailed into the wall. The unicorn lit up her horn bright enough for us to see. The walls seemed jagged. Seemed a bit strange since cave walls are usually smooth. Somebody must have carved them to give the walls an eerie feeling, because if they did, it was working. We all felt as if we were being watched. After a minute or so of walking, we came across a place were the paths split into two, one going left and one going straight ahead.

I chose the left path. We walked for another minute and found a sharp left turn. "Alright, the exit should be just around this-" I stared at the rock wall, sealing where the exit should be, covered in changelings. "run." They all stared at me. "RUN!!!" We all headed down the other path in a full out sprint as changelings chased after us. They didn't seem to try and capture us, but push us down the other path. I had a really bad feeling about this.
