The Storm

     A warm trickle of rain splashed onto a few heads. The rainbow mare evacuated all ponies inside shelter, while she and Twilight would map the quickest path to Canterlot. Worry swept over the town, ponies rushing indoors for safety.

    The drizzle soon came to a clam, steady beat of water, dripping off roofs and the fog in the air grew. Rainbow and the lavender alicorn beside her were in mid air, flying just underneath the clouds. Rain turned to a heavy blast of needles, poking at Rainbow's skin hidden under her thick, cyan fur.

      Fluttershy was frantically galloping down the streets, looking for an empty house, or atleast one where she could fit in. Thunder rumbled heavily, shaking the ground like an earthquake. Lightning zapped down in the distance, screaming and hollering followed. A fire rose up in that direction, causing the poor mare to panic.

     She checked Town Hall, swinging open the door. It was mostly empty. Only two mares and Rarity sat there. Misty, Rarity and Thunder sat there under blankets, shivering wildly. Thunder struck again, the pegasus sent off her hooves in fright. She scurried under the glass table, sobbing. Rarity frowned as she stared at the lightning only miles from Ponyville. It wasn't long until the town would be forever forgotten.

    Flurry, Cadence and Luna fought with their magic against the clouds, which had covered all light, but some light managed to appear in the panicking town. Luna's magic was halfway worn out, as she stood on a cloud, the large clouds sucking at her energy. She looked up at Flurry and Cadence.

"I'm afraid..... we only have a better chance if thee does one thing..."

      After a long discussion, the Changelings had offered to help if half the kingdom's Changelings were given a home in Ponyville. They did a fair job, but the clouds thickened and a second layer spread the town, darkening it. Hail and rain fell, the needle-like rain stinging the ponies below.

    Fluttershy whimpered as another booming of thunder exploded. Rarity held the shy filly close, under the blanket, but it barely helped. Misty trotted over to the front door, opening it to reveal a Princess and a Wonderbolt.

"We've found the way. It's quiet a journey, but we can make it!" Rainbow said, pointing a hoof to the door. Twilight lit her horn casting magic to teleport the ponies outside. Looking up, they eyed three of the other princesses fighting the storm, also two changelings and Queen Chrysalis. Rainbow pointed ahead.

"This way, now!" she commanded, the others galloping through the path. Twilight and Rainbow Dash exchanged glances, then on cue, they blast into the cold air in unbelievable speed. Hail fell against their coats and their wings burned like fire, but kept on.

   The storm worsened by the moment as the two stopped by each house to evacuate ponies to the trail. Minutes passes, then hours. Even Zecora evacuated the forest, despite that it wouldn't get to the Everfree until another hour or so. Still, it was too risky to make guesses. At a time like this, guess was just another word for danger.
