The Last Eclipse

Episode 4

Scene 1:

WE Start off with the shadows of Whicker Flame, Pan Everfree, and Star Gazer walking through the Everfree Forrest as they make their way to the ruins of The Castle Of The Two sisters. As they walk an unrecognizable beast is stalking them from the shadows of the Forrest, following them closely.

Whicker Flame feels the uneasy atmosphere around him and decides to lighten the mood.

Whicker: So..... What do you two enjoy doing?

He asks the two of them, hoping to Start some small talk to begin breaking the ice.

Star: Oh me? I don't know. Candlelight dinners, small walks by the beach, and getting ambushed in the woods...

They travel on in an awkward silence `

whicker: And you pan?

Pan:...[he gives whicker a deadpan face]

as the castle comes into view pan Starts to walk away

Star: And where do you think you going?!?

Pan: That's the cursed castle. I'll be out here with my friend.

whicker: who me? I'm going to the castle to get Pastel...

Pan: I wasn't talking about you .

As he heads deeper into the woods

Star:[in a whisper] I thought you said he was the last of his tribe??

Whicker:[in a whisper] That's what he said...

As pan is walking away

pan: Just because I'm the last doesn't mean I don't have friends.

Star and whicker give each other a quizzical look as Pan disappears into the woods

Star: Forget him, let's go!

Looking torn whicker Starts to head into the castle after Star

The castles loom in front of them as they enter the main foyer and as they do so they hear a scream.

Sage: HELPPPP...

Star: That's Sage come on!!!

As she zips away leaving wicker in a cloud of dust and wicker Starts to walk forward and call out for Pastel,too,and now Star

Whicker: Pastel...Sage...Star...ANNNYY POOONY !?

As he continues deeper into the interior of the castle then he steps on the wrong stone in the floor and it sinks into the ground as the castle Starts to rumble and the floor sinks and turns into a ramp and wicker slides down

wicker:HHHHEEEEEELLLLLPPPPPP!!!!!!!!

He slides right into the rear of another ponies rear

wicker:oooh !!!

Whicker looks  around and finds that he ran into Pastel in the middle of an old armory

Pastel:Hay why don't you watch where you're going?

Whicker: I'm terribly sorry but the floor just gave out from under me

As they get up and dust them self's off

wicker: So where are we?

Pastel:I'm pretty sure this is an armory!

Whicker: But why in the wide world of Equestria would there be an armory here??

Pastel: Have a look over here.

As Pastel takes wicker to one of the tapestries that lined the walls behind the sets of armor

Pastel: I think this was after the defeat of nightmare moon over a 1000 years ago

Whicker: yes but that still doesn't explain the armor or weapons, does it.

Pastel: It might, though. Do you remember what you learn as a Colt about the E.U.P?

Whicker: The what???

Pastel: The Earth, Unicorn, and Pegasus guard, You know were the Wonder Bolts came from?

Whicker: Hmm I remember a little, but none of that talked about suits of  armor or battles if what these tapestries portray are to be believed.

Pastel and Whicker are slowly walking around the room while look at ever thing and slowly making their way to the for front of the room with an impressive amulet on a pedestal with the royal earth guard symbol on it

Pastel: Who knows? Maybe the world was different back then much could have been lost in time, and anyway, you can't always write down what everypony does.

Whicker: Yes, but you would think somepony would have written down about wars? Well never mind all this we have to get out of here we have others waiting on us.

Pastel: others, What do you mean others??

Whicker: I'll explain on the way back.

As wicker turns away Pastel goes to take another look at the amulet by this time wicker is a good few feet away and turns to look back

Whicker: Pastel what are you doing ?

As Pastel reaches for the amulet

Pastel: Well, it's just been sitting here all this time, right?

Wicker: You don't know if that booby-trapped like the rest of this blasted place!

At that time Pastel frees the amulet from the pedestals and wicker couches in a crying waiting for something terrible to happen

A few moment pass and nothing

Pastel: See, nothing.

As he put it on a transformation comes over him as the amulet turns from a necklace to a suit of armor then back into a vest of sorts with no visible seam and the crest of the sun on his chest

Pastel: What's this!?

Whicker: I told you not to touch it now look at you!! Now come on before you touch something that might get some pony hurt!

Pastel: Okay.

Pastel rejoins wicker while wicker was talking and they Start to walk out  and right as whicker is done talking he bumps into a vase, but instead of it falling it tilts and is a lever instead as they release it, it's too late as the wall swings around and flings them both into an odd looking unicorn

Sage:HELP,HELP,HHHHHEEEEEELLLLP!!!

As all three ponies hit the floor Sage is the first to get up and bolts in an aimless direction screaming

Whicker: WAIT WE'RE HERE TO FIND YOU!!

As wicker pulls himself from the pile

Whicker: Sage WAIT!

But out of Sheer fright Sage keep running until out of a side corridor a Pegasus slams full speed into Sage

Star:YOU IDIOT YOU STUPID FILLY YOU USED THAT SPELL DO YOU KNOW WHAT COULD HAVE HAPPEN TO YOU DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA YOU COULD HAVE ENDED INSIDE OF A MOUNTAIN OR THE DEN OF AN URSA OR..OR.

As Star begins to calm down she notices the others and regains a measure of calm and climbs off her brother

Sage: to be fair sis that other Pegasus with the stick scared me .

As he looks a Lil abashed

Sage: what happen to him anyways ?

Star: He was too much of a filly to come in here, something bout this place being cursed or something.

Sage: He's outside?!?

Star: Don't worry I won't let him beat you up

She says with a grin

Sage: And who are they?

As he points toward the other two who are just now rejoining the group

Star: This is Whicker and this...

Pastel: I'm Pastel Brush but you can call me Pastel

Sage: Oookay then...Well, Does anypony knows the way out of here?

Whicker/Pastel: Ummm

With a roll of her eyes

Star: It's this way fillies

As she leads them down a corridor

As they come outside they find a timber wolf to what looks like its about to eat pan and has him pinned to the ground and pans stick is leaning against a tree and with the camera focused on the ponies faces it fades to black
