Chapter Four

Amber starts to cry Sweetie Bell says''oh boo hoo you tricked us while getting tricked yourself deal with and undo the magic thingy on Discord.''

Amber sniffles and replies''I would rather die to Chaos than join it.''

Pinkie falls from the ceiling and says'' okay you stay here while we go get away.''

Amber yells'' intruder in the sacred chamber.''

Discord says'' well Pinkie what is the plan now?''

Applejack rock climbs into view and says'' I break the cages and why climb our way out.''

Applebloom says'' way to go big sis.''

Pinkie blows a hole in a cage and says'' come on let's go.''

Applejack snorts and says'' way to go Pinkie I wanted to do that.''

Scootaloo says'' lets just get out of here.'' Starlight yells'' now you all die for trying to oppose the Starsworn.''

Discord punches Amber in the face knocking her out and pulls out a firework from his stomach.

Pinkie lights it and Discord yells'' I will see you in hell'' and lets the firework fly.

Pinkie grabs Amber while Sweetie Bell was carried by Discord and Applebloom,Applejack,and Scootaloo climbed out with the cavern caving in behind them. Starlight screams'' everything I did to create immortality you destroyed now I will hunt you down and kill all of you.''

Discord says'' well Pinkie thanks for coming but I was handling it.''

Applejack says'' I can't believe any of you thought this was a good idea just how do you think Discord and Starlight would both help you.''

Applebloom replies'' Starlight did get rid of all the cutie marks that we can't get so I think that is a plus.''

Sweetie Bell replies'' well why did not think fluttershy was capable of strength but her stare is just.''

Scootaloo says'' with underestimating Fluttershy we decided to give them a shot before making opinions.''

Discord says'' I sacrificed my legs for a whole day to keep these three safe so I don't want to here that I didn't try to be helpful.''

Scootaloo is now jumping and gliding from wall to wall and in a flash of light Scootaloo got her cutie mark.

Applebloom shouts'' way to go Scoots.''

Scootaloo climbs over the top of the mountain and says'' yes I got my cutie mark and its....''

Applebloom tilts her head and asks Scootaloo'' what in the hay is your cutie mark a folded wing supposed to mean?''

Scootaloo blushes and mutters something no pony heard.

Sweetie Bell says'' c'mon we are your friends you can tell us anything.''

Pinkie says'' less talk more running my tail is twitching.''

Pinkie led them all the way back into town when they saw Twilight,Rarity,Rainbow Dash arguing while Fluttershy hid under a table.

Discord yells'' enough just stop I am alive they are alive and what in the name of celestia is a starsworn!''

Twilight replies'' that is impossible the starsworn is a handful of ponies selected by Starswirl the bearded himself and they have knowledge every spell and are invincible.'' Applebloom says'' so we are going to die to them then.''

Pinkie says'' of course not silly if we can make Starlight Glimmer run for her life then we can beat them.''

Discord nods and Sweetie Bell says'' how do we beat them then?''

Applejack says''ah sugercube you won't be getting anywhere near them if they are that dangerous.''

Applebloom replies'' c'mon sis remember appleloosa how troubleshoes was not bad at all.''

Discord shakes his head and says'' well was starlight trying to keep you in a cage?''

Scootaloo mutters'' yes but.''

Discord says''we are not talking about but is so problem solved with you three staying with Fluttershy and I.''

Pinkie says'' wait a minute Amber is stirring.''

Amber yells'' ponynappers let me go.''

Applejack holds on tightly and Twilight says'' what are you truly doing with everyponies cutie marks?''

Amber stutters and stops struggling. Applejack says'' well you should of said something sooner and she here would not be strugglin.''

Amber replies'' yes this is true but starlight said you would come lead us to prosperity.''

Discord snaps his fingers and a journal appears. Amber gasps and says'' one I cast a spell stopping your magic and two how did you get starlights personal journal?''

Twilight says'' why don't you explain what Starlight said about me and what is she doing in the mountain.''

Amber replies'' I think I like Starlights version of you better.''

Discord opens the journal and says'' this is dated to be a few hundred years old.''

Amber says'' of course we take care of our things now go give that back.''

Pinkie replies'' we will give it back once we know what she is doing.''

Discord laughs and says'' no no no I want keep this.''

Fluttershy says'' Discord you know you stole that and thats wrong.''

Discord says'' well if twilight agrees that we can keep it I am keeping it.''

Twilight says'' why would I ever agree to steal something ever.''

Discord laughs and says'' the hidden spellbook of starswirl the bearded to power ramping.''

Amber and Twilight gasp and look at discord in awe.Twilight asks'' Discord whats the spell do?''

Discord responds saying'' in the hope of survival-'' Amber yells''don't cast it.''

Twilight says'' Discord last time one of his spells were cast it back fired a lot.''

Discord mutters''fine fine you read it then.''

Twilight takes the book from Discord and reads silently. Rainbow Dash says''Twilight is it cool that book?''

Twilight shakes her head and groans. Pinkie says'' well I told ya so.''

Rarity replies'' Pinkie you knew that book is bad didn't you.''

Pinkie shrugs and says'' I know what I know instead of my foe.''

Applejack says'' whats that supposed to mean?''

Twilight says'' a quote from this book even though she has not even read this book.''

Amber sighs and says'' Starlight was using that book to form a pony that would accomplish things that never can be thought of.She thought that if she used your cutie mark to put on her flank she could figure out how to create equestria's second god.''

Fluttershy stutters then mumbles'' um excuse me then who was the first?''

Discord slaps himself while Pinkie cringed. Amber states simply'' Starswirl the bearded.''

Sweetie Bell says'' so is that a bad thing then?''

Applebloom says'' a god then the god can get us our cutie marks.''

Applejack snaps'' will you three stop thinking about cutie marks and start thinking about what you just started?''

The crusaders look own in shame and Applebloom says'' I am sorry I just didn't know things would have turned out this badly.''

A silver pony shouts'' Starlight over here I found the princess.''

Discord sighs and shouts'' you silver thingy I am discord and you are now my prisoner.''

Amber slips out from under Applejack tackles Discord and the silver pony runs off.''

Discord teleports and Applejack lassoed Amber. Twilight says'' well we know they want me so anypony got any ideas?''

Starlight says'' of course I have a idea you come with us.''

Discord roars and he regrew his lower half of his body. Applebloom says'' Discord get us out of here.''

Twilight teleports and Discord grabs the Cutie Mark Crusaders and teleports after Twilight.''

Rarity walks to Starlight Glimmer and says'' lets settle this like the high class ponies we are.''

Amber's horn glows and flames circle all of them preventing anypony from running or flying away.

Starlight replies alright but first I need some ah assurance that you won't try anything funny.''

Amber says'' yes letting me go for one would be great.''

Starlight launches a purple light from her horn and Amber slowly disappears. Rarity faints and Pinkie says'' yeah I am gone.''

Applejack says'' well were caught Pinkie ,Twilight and Discord are the only one who can save us now.''

Starlight grins as her soldiers surrounded the four ponies.Starlight says'' bind and carry them to base.''

Twilight reappears and says'' no let them go and take me instead.''

Starlight replies'' well a good offer but no.'' Twilight,Rarity,Applejack,Rainbow Dash,and Fluttershy get thier cutie marks taken off them and ropes tied round thier hooves. Rainbow says'' Twilight I know that coming back for us is heroic and all but now we have to trust Discord.''

Fluttershy says'' um actually Discord,Pinkie Pie,Applebloom,Scootaloo,and Sweetie Bell.''

Applejack says''great now we are totally done for now.''

Meanwhile in Sugerbelle's basement. Pinkie Pie says''we have to do something they have Twilight and Starlight killed Amber.''

Suger Belle replies''what can we do two of you don't have talents one is a crippled bird and then it leaves you and Discord.''

Discord says'' well we have something they need so that is our advantage.''

Suger bell says'' no I won't go they hurt Double Diamond as well so I will basically be docter.''

Pinkie says'' because they have Twilight and well they could kill her at a moments notice.''

Scootaloo says'' to save the princess CHARGE'' and runs out the the basement and then the house.

Pinkie says'' then lets go save every pony.'' Every pony runs out and Discord flew out instead.

Applebloom says'' I know karate so I can fight.''

Discord replies'' this plan is pure chaos and I love it.''

The all run in silence to the mountain and before the go in the cavern Pinkie says'' no the top is the way in the heart of the mountain.''

Discord says'' not all of us fly to get down safely.''

Pinkie replies'' oh I know that silly that is why I dig my way down and you teleport Applebloom and Sweetie Bell in there and we free our friends then we fight to the death.''

Applebloom whines'' I just want to go home and be with big Mac and granny smith harvesting apples.''

A flash of light appears and one red apple appears on Appleblooms flank. Scootaloo says'' hurray Applebloom you got your cutie mark.''

Applebloom says'' wuh a I did yippe Scoots lets go stay with suger bell and be safe then we can show off our marks at home.''

Sweetie Bell says'' It is always you two remember how we sneaked into ms.cherilees desk?''

Scoots says'' yes but there was nothing in there.''

Sweetie Bell has tears coming down her face and says'' no I found her diary and looked for anything about us and it says'' no special traits that seperates Sweetie Bell from Applebloom and Scootaloo but hopefully she will get lucky one day.''

Applebloom says'' thats one ponies opinion you shouldn't get down on yourself about that.''

Sweetie Bell says'' Scootaloo is known for her scooter while Applebloom is considered leader of us and I am just a follower with nothing special.''

Pinkie is tearing up and says'' that is so sad maybe you shouldn't be here and you should head back to.''

Sweetie Bell wipes her tears off her face and says'' no I need to at least be known for something amazing that I did that no other foals or fillies have done before.''

Discord says'' so current plan is to storm the heart of a murderers home free our friends if they are still alive with just me,Sweetie Bell,and Pinkie.''  Pinkie replies'' yes while Applebloom and Scootaloo head back to town.''

Sweetie Bell says'' yes now lets do this.''

Applebloom says'' good luck Sweetie Bell an be safe.'' Applebloom and Scootaloo head back down the mountain.

Scootaloo says'' I am no expert on being brave but you know this is not the time.''

Sweetie Bell replies'' no this is the time I will be brave and do the impossible and its okay if you two don't come with us.''

Pinkie says'' well we know what we are going to do and we will not fail because I am giving you all the super cupcakes.''

Sweetie Bell says'' super cake does a what now?''

Pinkie says'' well they make harder tasks possible and I really have three.''

Discord replies'' give it to the kids they need the good luck more then us.''

Pinkie gives Sweetie Bell,Applebloom,and Scootaloo the super cupcakes.
