Return of Destruction
Chapter 2
Previous Chapter"Please! The fate of the universe depends on it!" Sunset Burst, Rain Sketch, Stitch Work, and the others were back at the barn the next day, though they had run into some issues with a pony hiding out inside. "Please!" he was a tan stalion with a brown mane, and they had so far been arguing with him for a good five minutes.
"Sir this is a crime scene, you have to leave." Sunset tempted, when he still refused to move, she turned to a blue mare with an oragne mane, then nodded to the stalion.The mare sighed shaking her head, and walked over to the stalion, who now seemed slightly fearful. When right infront of him, she turned and kicked him squarly in the chest with her two back hooves. He was sent flying out of the barn. Sunset watched as a grey pegicis came down, grabed the stalion, and flew off. "Oh-kay... Nice job by the way Zest." she commented to the blue member of the group.
Zest held her head high and troted to the center of the barn, "Learned it when Applejack and Big Mac asked me to help out with apple buck season last time we were here." she sighed again, then looked around as everypony seemed to be staring at her, "Don't you have something to do?!" she screamed.
Rain Sketch agreed, "Come on guys, the faster we handle this, the faster we get to split up." every pony nodded their heads, then went to work serching the barn for anything at all.
It was hilarious how many times they ran into each other accidently, That's what we get for always working solo! Sunset hissed silently as she rubbed her head from mistancenly hitting the roof. "Come on Stitch Work! You have to!" looking down she saw Stitch Work arguing with Rain near a pile of hay.
Stitch Work looked at the yellow mare in discust, "I will never step hoof in that un-organized pile of dried grass!" Sunset, in the love of causing trouble, glided down behind the complaining green mained pegicis gently, "I don't even know why Rairity would come anywhere near this!" getting on her back hooves, the light orange mare shooved her into the pile of hay. "AAAAAA!!!!! IT'S ALL OVER ME!! GET IT OFF!!! GET IT OFF!!!" Before anypony knew it, the entire barn, and everything in it; was coated in yellow, dry, and itchy hay. Not to mentchen the fumbling form of Stitch Work, as she kicked her hooves in every known direction.
Although it did make it a bit harder to work, being that everything blended in with everything else. All but the windows, that clearly showed the moon and stars. After calming down from laughing to hard at the cautic mass of hay and hooves, Suset looked through it for any sign of daylight, "Anypony know what time it is?"
"About noon, why?" Rain promted.
"Hasn't Luna raised the sun yet?" Zest came over to the window and looked out herself, the other ponies came over as well, except for Stitch Work that is.
"Well she can't."
"But Princess Celestia was able to when Luna was banished."
"That was different!"
"Oh well this day will be fun! How are people going to trust us if they think that we're working for Princess Luna?"
"I wouldn't trust us!"
"We should have a party!"
"Really Berry Shake? Is that going to be your answer for everything?!"
"Maybe the animals could help us?"
"Neive, you're the only one that can talk to them!"
Soon the five ponies were thrown into an argument, and none of them cared to pay attention to Stitch Work. "Ahh!" there was a hollow thud, followed by a crash that errupted in everyponies ears. "Guys, I found something! More like somepony." she called. The five of them exchanged glances, then rushed to her aid. As long as it isn't another statue. Sunset burst shuddered before following the others.
Somehow, Stitch Work had fallen into the Apple family's celler, in the center of which was a purple and green baby dragon. "What are you doing here?!" Zest snapped at him.
Sunset came to her side, "Yeah! What'da think you're doing in a crime scene?!"
"I uh-" suddenly the dragon speued green flames at the bright blue pegicis ruining her mane, after which a scroll was in his claw, "Sorry... Princess Luna's been sending these all morning!" before he had finished, green flames burst at Sunset, giving her and Zest matching manes. "Whoops!" Spike chuckled fearfuly, then unrolled the scroll clearing his throat, "
The team that investigated Celestia's chambers found nothing of intrest. I went through it myself and found no readible traces of unknown magic other then where she stood. I am currently investigating it myself, and hope that you will notify me of anything you find out.
~Princess Luna
P.S. I am having difficultly finding away to raise the sun as you may have noticed, so if you could look for a spell that could atleast make it lighter, I would be very apreiative.
"
Zest shook her head, returning it to it's normal, straight self, then turned around to the group behind her, "Neive, you go to Fluttershy's cottage, see what you can find out from the animals there about what she was doing before this happened. Berry Shake, you head to Sugar Cube Coner and do the same for Pinkie Pie-"
"With the animals?"
"No with the ponies!" sighing she continued, "Stitch Work, go to Carisel Boutic and check to see what Rairity was working on. Rain Sketch, check the libary, see what you can find out-"
"And check for spells to help the princess, on it!"
"I'll go with you!" Spike suggested, "I spent the whole morning with Twilight!"
Rain smiled, "Perfect, I'll take you back, you'll help me, and then I'll guard you to insure you don't speak to anypony else!" she gave a bright smile as she lifted him onto her back, ignoring his protests, and trotted away out of the entrance.
"In the mean time, me and Sunset will do some investigating around here." Zest finaly finished, "We'll meet back at the library in five hours." each pony nodded, then dashed off to complete their jobs.
