A van and a car were heading down a road with tons of trees going as far as the eye can see on both sides of the road. In the van was Trixie at the wheel, Derpy, Snips, and Snails. The car was being driven by Flash Sentry; his passengers were Lyra Heartstrings, Bon-Bon, and Bulk Biceps. After Trixie dropped off Twilight Sparkle, the Humane Five, and the Crusaders at the place where they thought Sunset Shimmer was at, she decided to let Flash and a few others know and head there together to see if they might be needed.

“Are you sure this is the way?” Snips asked.

“The ‘Great and Powerful Trrrixie’ is positive.” Trixie answered in her usual, exaggerated third person tone.

“Still can’t reach any of her friends, the signal is weak here.” Lyra complained as she tried to call one of the Humane Five on her cellphone.

Suddenly, they all saw a car zoom out from behind some trees about twenty feet in front of them, and head down the road in the direction away from them.

“What the heck was that?” Lyra asked.

“Wait, is something burning? Where is that smoke coming from?” Bon-Bon asked pointing to the clouds of smoke rising from behind the trees.

“It looks like it’s coming from where that car came out of.” Lyra said. Indeed the smoke did look like it was emerging from where they saw the strange car pull out of.

“That’s where Twilight and the others are!” Trixie said in horrific realization.

“Oh no, Twilight!” Flash instantly realized what was going on. He slammed his foot down on the gas pedal and made a sharp turn from the road and headed straight down the hill to where the source of the smoke was. To everyone’s horror, they saw a house that was almost completely on fire.

Flash immediately stopped his car in the middle of cul-de-sac and jumped out the vehicle. He ran around the house doing his best not to get too close to the flames all the while calling for Twilight and the other girls. “TWILIGHT! RAINBOW DASH! FLUTTERSHY! ANYBODY!”

Inside the basement of the burning house, Twilight, Spike, the Humane Five, and the Crusaders were all huddled together in a corner trying to avoid getting burned. Suddenly Twilight heard a voice calling for her from the outside. She saw a tiny closed window on the opposite wall from the stairs and the door. She climbed on top of some boxes that she had found to help her reach the window. Twilight looked out the window and saw Flash standing outside anxiously staring at the burning house calling to her.

“FLASH!” Twilight called to him.

“Twilight!” Flash noticed her in the tiny window. He ran up to it to see if there was a way he could help her get out but the window was too small for anyone to get through. “It’s too small, what are we going to do?”

“Flash, we’ve been locked in the basement, get us out of here!”

“I’m coming!” Wasting no time, Flash darted back to the front of the house. He ran up to the front door, which was already broken open, but he stopped for a moment because of the intense heat coming from the inside. Twilight and the other girls needed his help, so he covered his mouth and nose with his scarf, and forced himself through the entrance. Everything inside was on fire, Flash moved as quickly and as carefully as he could while trying to avoid getting burned. Finally, he made it to the door leading to the basement, but it was locked. He pulled, banged, and kicked it as hard as he could but it wouldn’t budge. Then Flash felt a hand on his shoulder, it was Bulk Biceps who tilted his head in a gesture that said ‘stand aside’. Flash did so, then the bigger man grabbed the door on both sides, tore it off its hinges, and through it aside. Now the girls were no longer trapped. Twilight picked up Spike and one by one they started making their way up the stairs, Flash immediately came to Twilight’s side and started leading her, Applejack, Apple Bloom, Rainbow Dash, and Scootaloo through the burning rooms toward the exit while Bulk, Fluttershy, Rarity, Pinkie Pie and Sweetie Belle followed. It took a few minutes, but all of them finally made it out of the fiery death trap safely. They all collapsed on their knees to catch their breathes after walking through so much smoke. Trixie, Lyra, Bon-Bon, Derpy, Snips, and Snails were standing outside waiting for them with worried expressions on their faces.

“Are you alright?” Lyra asked.

“Yeah we’re fine.” Applejack said holding her coughing and crying sister.

“Thanks Flash.” Twilight said giving the boy a big, warm, grateful hug. He blushed for a moment, but this was no time for anything romantic.

“What happened?” He asked.

“For starters, we found Sunset, but then-.”

Before Twilight could finish, Pinkie interrupted and hysterically finished for her. “We found out she was living with a deranged, homicidal lunatic, you know the one who attacked downtown today and is responsible for all the mass killings that have going on around here. Well, he knocked out Sunset, locked us in the basement, set the house on fire, and took Sunset with him and who knows what he’s going to do to her!” After she had finished, Pinkie stopped to catch her breath again.

“Oh my god!” Lyra exclaimed.

“How could Sunset possibly think that freak would be a better friend than us?” Rainbow asked baffled.

“She must be so emotionally hurt that she can’t judge characters very good.” Twilight answered. All the others hung their heads in a moment of shame for they knew that part was their fault.

“We saw a car drive out of here and head down that way not too long ago.” Flash informed them and pointed in the direction the car went.

“Sunset’s in danger, we have to save her!” Fluttershy said in a panicked tone.

“Then what are we waiting for? Let’s go!” Rainbow said with determination.

“You all can ride in my van.” Trixie offered.

“Thanks. Flash, we’re going after Sunset. We need you to take our sisters someplace safe.” Applejack instructed Flash.

“But AJ, we wanna help Sunset too.” Apple Bloom argued.

“Ah know but it’s too dangerous, it’d be better if y’all leave the rest ta us.”

“Listen to Applejack.” Rarity ordered.

“But- but we-!” Sweetie Belle tried to complain.

“Girls! I know you’re worried about Sunset and want to atone for what you did, but getting yourselves killed won’t help anyone at all.” Twilight spoke sternly to the Crusaders. “Please do this one thing for us.”

The three Crusaders thought for a moment. Although they wanted to make sure Sunset was okay Twilight made a very valid point. So they reluctantly nodded their heads in agreement.

“Thank you. Don’t worry; we’ll make sure nothing will happen to Sunset.”

“Come on you three.” Flash lead the three youngsters to his car.

Twilight, Spike, the Humane Five, Bulk, Snips, and Snails all hopped into Trixie’s van.

“Step on it, Trixie!” Rainbow ordered, her face was etched with determination and anger. “I swear if he does anything to her, I’ll kill him!”

Trixie drove her van up the hill and on the road heading in the direction she saw the car head down while Flash drove his car; carrying the Crusaders, Lyra, and Bon-Bon; in the opposite direction.

“Where do you think they’re going?” Trixie asked her passengers.

“Well, when we met him, he was wearing a military uniform.” Rarity answered. “They must be heading to some sort of military base.”

“But what for?” Fluttershy asked curiously.

“Maybe if we hurry, we won’t need to find out.” Rainbow said. Right now, the only thing that was on her mind was saving Sunset and paying back the bastard that tried to have them all roasted.

“Trixie might have an idea of where they might be heading.” Trixie announced and increased the speed of her van. She knew the location of the closest military base. Hopefully they would find them before it was too late.

Sunset Shimmer groaned and rubbed her head as she came to. When she had regained full consciousness, she found herself sitting in the front passenger seat of the car with Not Important driving and dressed in his new uniform.

“Are you alright?” he asked looking concerned.

“What happened?” Sunset asked back. “Last thing I remember after you came back, there was a knocking at the door, and that nothing.” Then Sunset remembered what her friends had told her about the terrorist who attacked downtown. She started to look nervous. “I heard there was a terrorist attack downtown. Could it have been-?”

“No.” Not Important interrupted. “Just a couple of thieves trying to do some ‘Christmas shopping’ at our house. But don’t worry; the military prepared me to handle situations like that. My only regret was that I failed to prevent them from knocking you out. But at least you’re okay, right?”

Sunset smiled. His lie had fooled her. “Yes, yes I’m fine. Thank you.”

“Who told you know about a downtown terrorist attack anyway?”

Sunset then put a sad frown on her face. “Before you came back, my old friends from Canterlot High came to the house. They told me that the real Anon-a-Miss confessed.”

“Well that’s good, that means they now know you were innocent.”

“Yeah, they said they were sorry and offered a chance to return to my old life. But I turned it down.”

“Why did you turn them down? You can’t forgive them?”

“No, I forgive them, it’s just ever since the Fall Formal incident people have had nothing but suspicion for me. Even after my moment during the Battle of the Bands things really didn’t change that much. I’m getting tired of living a life where no matter how hard you try to do things right people only see you as a bad person. That and I couldn’t just leave my new friend all alone.”

“You really consider me a friend that much?”

“Of course I do. You took me in when no one else did, and you didn’t even know me. In all my life, I’ve never met someone as kind and unselfish as you. You’re more than just me best friend, you’re my family.”

"Well Sunset Shimmer, it's only been a couple days, but in that short of time I've come to appreciate having someone like you in my life. Someone that I won't make me feel so lonesome anymore. Someone I'd be happy to call my daughter."

These words lit a warm fire in Sunset's heart. For the first time in many years, she felt like she was truly home. She shed a tear of happiness and smiled warmly at her new 'dad.'

Not Important smiled warmly at her. “We’re almost there, shouldn’t be too long now.” He told her. Sunset was getting excited; soon they would show people that outcasts like them are capable of bringing holiday cheer.

Not Important really was surprised that this innocent girl really saw his as her friend, a father figure. No one ever saw him as a friend or family. But he didn’t care; this girl was nothing more than a means to an end. “I almost feel sorry for this kid.” He thought to himself. “Almost!” Then he and Sunset saw what appeared to be the entrance to the army base they were going to.

“I see it, we’re here!” Sunset said excitedly.

“Yes, good.” Not Important said with satisfaction. “Let’s see if those ‘human shields’ are able to protect themselves on their own ground!” He thought maliciously as they were getting closer and closer to the base’s entrance.
