Scene 45- Our Final Destination!

Voyage Of The Unforgotten!
Chapter 45- Our Final Destination!

Rainbow Dash's P.O.V

Did that just happen? Did me and Tiran really get stuck in this tiny cave? I searched all around trying to find a way out but it was too dark. Tiran went by the huge boulder and tried to shift it to the side but it wouldn't budge. He kicked his foot on the side and started screaming.

“Amazing! We're trapped in here! Why didn't you listen to me when I said for you to go?!”

“So what, you can stay here and die? I don't think so!”

“Gemporia doesn't need me, it needs you.”

“It needs all of us!”

“Ugh! That's not the point! The point is every time you get yourself in a situation someone has to save your sorry ass!”

I stepped back and gave a tiny gasp. Tears flooded my eyes and the rage in my blood was boiling. I gritted my teeth and slapped him in the face.

“You don't mean that!!”

Silence. Tiran rubbed his burning cheek and then looked at the ground in dismay. The water from the waterfall was seeping through from the boulder. The water was rising and Tiran closed his eyes and sighed.

“You're right...I didn't mean that. I'm truly sorry Rainbow Dash. I'm just highly upset.”

“It's okay Tiran. I forgive you. I'm sorry for slapping you..”

“No, I totally deserved it. I wasn't being fair with you. I never was…”

Tiran looked away and looked at the floor while he cleared his throat.

“We better find a way out of here before we become goners.”

“Wait wait! Hold on a sec. You never was fair with me? Where were you going with that?”

“Nothing...it’s nothing. It was just a stupid statement.”

“Well, I didn't find it stupid. It was really deep. Tiran, what's going on? Can you look at me when I'm talking to you?” I grabbed his face and tried to make him look at me but apparently, he would move his head to the side a bit more. I sighed and placed my hands on my hips even though you couldn't tell because the water was rising up.

“I'm just...regretting the time I was…” Tiran choked on his words as he clenched his teeth together in pain.

“The time you were-”

“Ramõn..”

My mind stopped processing as all those memories flashed back into my brain. The pervertness, the villainy, the annoyance, but the appearance was truly special. I bit my lip remembering those times were I would always be disgusted by the deeds of Ramõn. The time where he tripped Soarin at the party, the time where he proposed to me, the time he taught me Spanish, the time we kissed, the time he stole my father's artifacts, and the time we meet. I remembered every last memory but when I gaze into Tiran’s bright yellow eyes, I can't see Ramõn at all. Tiran seems so distant from Ramõn, yet Tiran was pretending to be this dead prince. Tiran couldn't even look at me either probably remembering those memories too. I took a deep breath and carefully held Tiran’s hand onto mines.

“I just don't know what I was thinking of giving the job to manipulate someone like you. When Queen Chrysalis told me to find you and lure you to the hive, I just got carried away. I was just plainly stupid and didn't stop to realize that you were hurting in the process. And not just you but your friends and family as well. I caused so much harm, I even cheated my way out of it. Dash, I just want you to know that I'm super sorry for all the trouble I've caused. We wouldn't even be here if it wasn't for me stealing your father's artifacts which I don't know where the fuck is, but I just regret myself for everything that I've done….”

After Tiran spoke, tiny little teardrops were streaming down his face. I never seen Tiran cry in my entire life. My jaw was wide open but hearing a soft sniffles from Tiran made my heart break. I didn't care about the water right now, I just firmly grabbed Tiran and pulled him into a nice tight bear hug. I rubbed his back and patted his head a couple of times. I heard him sniffling a bit more as he was hugging me tightly.

“It's okay. Everything will be okay. Let it out. Let it all out.”

“I’m...truly sorry….maybe it's better if I-”

“Woah stop right there. You're not going anywhere. You're a great person.”

“N-No...no I'm not…”

“Wait wait! Let me finish. You're different from the other changelings. You defended me and my friends when Chrysalis found out that we were at the hive. You told us where to get my father's jewels. And throughout all the times we've been through together, not one time you sucked my love from me. Doesn't that tell you something?”

“Yea, that I'm not loved.” Tiran shrugged his shoulders. “Reason I didn't suck your love or anyone's love is because no one gave me love. I can feed on love if someone gives me love so I've been starving for a while.”

“Well, I love you.” I smiled at him as his face lit up like a match. His cheek flared up and his yellow sunflowers opened widely as they blinked a few times. I couldn't help but giggle at his face.

“Y-Y-You w-what?!”

“You heard me. I love you. Well, not as much as Soarin but I'm sure you get what I mean.”

“Yeah I do...but why? After all that I've done too you, this is what you do in return? Or is all this nice stuff part of your plan for revenge?”

“Hehehe no ya asshole. I'm just being a caregiver. Showing compassion towards you. I've been struggling with that for years and now I finally know what it means. Compassion is about showing sympathy to others and being kind hearted to them. And I'm showing sympathy towards you by listening to your thoughts and is concerned about you. Maybe this is another side to loyalty that I've never found and I just have to say, you made me become a better person Tiran.”

“Me? How come?”

“Throughout my childhood, I've struggling with caring for others sorrow and pain. I didn't even care about people's deep thoughts. I thought they were boring and irrelevant and that made me become a bratty toddler. I know realize that I've been showing you sympathy all this time and I'm sure as heck ain't stopping.” I smiled at him as he smiled back at me.

“Huh wow. Dash what did I deserve you?

“Nothing. You were busy focusing on your doubts when I've been focusing on your achievements. Everyone makes mistakes. We can either run from them or learn from them.”

“Dash I-”

The water was close to my neck as I floating away from Tiran. Since he's taller than me, he carried me in his arms and smiled.

“I can't let you drown just yet. If we're drowning, we're doing this together. One step at a time.”

“Awwwww Tiran, that's sweet to say. But there's gotta be a way out!”

“Dash..”

I jumped off his arms and splashed into the water and look around to find a way out but it was too dark. I was losing oxygen so I swam back up and started coughing.

“It's too dark. If I had a flashlight or something that glows, that'll get us out of here.”

“Dash-”

“Or maybe I need to hold my breath in longer. That'll help.”

“Dash!! It's no use….”

“No! We have to try!”

I was about to plunge back into the water, but Tiran grabbed both of my arms and brushed my hair out my face. I started to cry realizing that were seriously trapped in here. The water was rising fast and I held onto Tiran’s hand as the water went past my nose. I took a deep breath and held it for a while. I was losing air as my hand slipped from Tiran’s grasp. I lost oxygen and was falling down until Tiran swam after me and it was the last thing I saw…

Tiran’s P.O.V

I swam as fast as I can as I carried Dash in my hands. This is the second time I'm saving her. First fire now water. What else? Snow? Ice? I knew I was about to lose oxygen as well, until I transformed into a sea lion. I placed Dash on my back again but this time, I made sure she was okay. I swam down to the bottom trying to find a way out but it was too dark. After awhile, I finally found a rock and pulled it out and then pulled out more rocks. Eventually, the rocks let to a light and I eventually found a way out! The water that was in the cave, was pouring out from the tiny hole and it was leading to a small lake. The hole got bigger after I pushed more rocks out and eventually me and Dash got poured out into the lake. I pulled her shirt and started swimming until I saw Fluttershy and the rest of them wondering around probably looking for us. I squeaked (cause that's what sea lions do) at Fluttershy hoping that she heard me. I looked back at Dash and she was knocked out. I squeaked loudly this time and she turned around and saw me while smiling. She ran to me but she didn't know it was me exactly.

“Oh are you lost little guy?”

I smiled and picked up Dash with my teeth and placed her on the rock and shifted her towards Flutters. She gasped and patted my head. I transformed back into my real self and started breathing heavily.

“Tiran, what's with you in saving Dash lately?” Fluttershy giggled. “I feel like you like doing this.”

My cheeks flared up with heat as I cleared my throat and chuckled softly.

“I kind of do but I'm just doing this because I care about her and that's something a friend would do.”

“Thank you Tiran.”

I climbed out the water and carried Dash to the side while everyone was around me and started panicking.

“Is she gonna be okay?” Twilight asked while hovering over her.

“I'm not sure….just stand back okay? I'm sure she's going to be alright….”

Transition to next scene…

Rainbow Dash's P.O.V

The sound of cracking fire and the smell of smoke flooded my nose as I created a loud sneeze causing me to shiver afterwards. I felt someone's hand brush past my hair softly and as I looked up, I saw Soarin with his eyes closed. He wasn't snoring or anything. I just assumed he was mediating. I opened my eyes and softly yawned.

“W-W-Where are we?”

“Well, hello to you too.” Soarin kissed my forehead causing me to blush.

“Hehehe hi.”

“Oh, we're by the castle. Just a few more walks and we'll be there by tomorrow. How ya feeling?”

“I'm doing alright. Um, what happened?”

“Well Tiran saved you, again. He says you passed out from losing oxygen so he rescued you.”

“See? And he thought he was a bad changeling.”

“Huh?”

“Oh nevermind it was a deep conversation we had earlier. I don't think he wants me to bring it up.”

“Alright then. I'm glad you two are both feeling better. I was worried sick about you.”

“Awwww it's adorable when you care for me.”

“Sorry love birds, can I interrupt this chat?” A deep masculine voice interrupted me and Soarin's convo. We both turned around to see Tiran taking a seat next to Soarin. He looked down and then looked at me and smiled. I jumped on him and gave him a very tight hug.

“Thanks for saving me...again.” I blushed slightly. Tiran chuckled and patted my head.

“I told you that I would've saved your sorry ass. You're always getting in trouble.”

“Am not!”

“Dash, you are the trouble. You get yourself into trouble. You're the absolute definition of trouble!” Soarin added while winking at me. I punched his shoulder and we all started laughing.

“What am I going to do with you two?” I smirked at both of them and hugged them both.

“Well, hate to cut this short but we're approximately 7 miles away from the castle. We have to go because Tirek can boobytrap the entrance.” Shivani stated as she was packing her stuff in her bag and was heading down the hill. We all groaned but Monoko kept barking as he was tugging onto my arm.

“Let's go everyone. We can rest once all of this is over.”

“Come on baby, let's go.” Sunset pulled Twilight's arm while dragging her. Twilight was busy reading a book that's way too hard to read the title but Twilight was so busy reading, she started squirming from Sunset's grasp.

“No! I was only at the part where the princess finally turns into this majestic phoenix!!!!” Twilight wailed. Sunset kept dragging her and grunting too as she kept tugging and tugging.

“Ugh Twilight...you'll..ugh..read it later!”

“I can't! I'm way past my library reading date! Actually, I stole this book…”

“You did what?!”

“I'm sorry babe! I love this book so much! I couldn't just put it down.”

“Lemme guess. You were reading so much that you kept on reading and didn't even pay huh?” I laughed. Twilight gave us a sheepish smile and blushed slightly.

“Hehehe you guys know me so well.”

We all gathered up our materials and went our way to the castle. The sky grew dark causing us to see a little bit. We trekked through the mountains and after a long period of time, the sky seem to get fogged up. The cold air whisked through and the wind started to blow. Pinkie, Ocean Wave, Amaranthine, and Rarity were all getting tired from traveling in one day.

“Sorry darlings but I'm getting really tired. We've been lounging all day and I'm really hungry.” Rarity complained. Sunrise gritted her teeth together while groaning.

“We'll eat, when we get there!”

“How far is Gemporia exactly? No offense Sunrise, but I agree with Rarity. We've been walking all day trying to find this place and it seems like we're walking around in circles. So….um, I guess we can take a break….I-I mean...if you really want to…..” Fluttershy whimpered as her bang covered her eyes. Sunrise gave her a long eye roll as she dropped her weapons on the ground and slumped.

“Okay geniuses, where the hell are we gonna stay for the night?!”

“Quit your fucking whining. There's a few houses nearby past that river.” Tiran pointed out to a tiny place. Sunrise grabbed him by his shirt and they were at it!

“Who the fuck you think you are talking to me like that? You better watch your mouth before I shove it up your ass!”

“I'm talking to you kitty.”

Sunrise grabbed her spear and pointed it at Tiran while pinning him to a tree nearby. Both of them were face to face with one another.

“Don't. Call me kitty.”

Tiran gave her a smug little grin and pinned her to the tree while using her spear on her neck.

“I can do whatever I want, kitty!” Tiran smirked at her while playing with her hair. Sunrise pouted and her cheeks turned a slight shade of pink as she screamed.

“Ugh! Dash! Get your friend please!” She groaned.

“Are you gonna stop being a colossal bitch?”

“I will if you stop being an annoying asshole. And get the fuck off me! Lightning will have your head.”

Tiran smirked even more as he transformed into Lightning Strike and started chuckling.

“Heh, you were saying?”

“Oh my gosh! I fucking hate you!”

“Alright you two, can we please proceed?” Lilia cleared her throat as Tiran went back to his old self and removed himself from Sunrise and walked towards Pinkie. I couldn't help but notice both of their hands were held together. I didn't want to suspect anything but I couldn't help but smile. We stopped by an abandoned village where broken houses and damp streets were destroyed.

“So this is what Tirek was up too? Destroying homes and families?” Shivani asked while shaking her head in dismay.

If you only saw the poor place! Some dead people were on the ground bleeding to death and mostly the houses were either burned up or just destroyed. I couldn't bare to see anymore as I clenched my fist together and a tear streamed down my face. This scenery kept reminding me of my mother over and over again. I went into my back and grabbed the polynesian hibiscus that my mom gave to me and I just stared at it for a while. I sighed wishing to have her back into my life until I felt a hand over my shoulder. I turned around only to see Soarin staring at the sky while the wind was blowing his navy blue hair. He looked down at me but then at the sky and closed his eyes. I reached for his hand as we were both looking at the sky.

“Are you thinking about your father..?”

Soarin didn't say anything but just held onto my hand tighter and breathing at a steady pace. He finally replied with a simple “Mhm..” and continued having his eyes shut. I stared at him with a devastating facial expression as I leaned against him and laid my head on his arm. Soarin kept quiet while still having his eyes closed but this time, he smiled and took a deep breath. I heard footsteps and we both turned around to face Sunset holding a small black handkerchief with a silver mark of two upside down hockey sticks together and a crescent moon on top. It looked like a bull sign as the words at the bottom said “Dark Lord.” Me and Soarin both exchanged worried glances at one another and Twilight came behind Sunset, examining the handkerchief while scratching the top of her head.

“Hmmm, by the look of the handkerchief, it seems like Tirek passed here.”

“Not just him but the Black Panthers too.” Sunset added. “Look! There flags on houses that have the same sign on them! They probably claimed this place…”

“Um guys? You really need to see this.”

We all turned around to see Applejack and Fluttershy by the wooden sign showing the hole map of Gemporia. Gemporia was divided into seven different cities. They were: “Tropical Evergreen, Glistenda, Polastraits, Honey Batch Farms, Electrodome, Sweetopia and Apsara Land!” We each examined how most of the stuff on the map had the silver sign on them.

“These places must've been held captive by Tirek himself.” Lilia inspected the wooden board a bit more. “We're in Glisenda and it's not supposed to be like this! Tirek must've done this!”

“Well, what are we waiting for?! A miracle?! Let's go over there and show that dumbass who's boss!”

We all searched out to find the castle but the fog was getting thicker and thicker making it harder for any of us to see. After a while we got closer and we stopped in front of this huge wall.

“Huh? Since when did Tirek installed a wall around the castle? This was never there!” Amaranthine spoke up as she looked at the massive wall.

The wall was a metallic black and it surrounded the castle like about 30 football fields long. The height was about as long as the Empire State Building. I gulped just imagining how much climbing we'll have to do.

“Well, looks like we'll have to be climbing this wall. Hmmm, how did the people in the Maze Runner do it?” Sunset thought as she looked at the ground and then back at the wall. Eventually, a huge murmur erupted with suggestions about finding a way to get over this wall.

“Oh no no no no! There's NO way I'm climbing this wall! It could ruin my clothes!” Rarity wailed.

“It's gonna get ruined anyway! Quit complainin’!”

“Applejack darling, don't get me on my bad side right now.”

“You know what?! To shut Rarity up, how about we just ask Twilight to use her levitating powers with her geode?!” I screamed. Everyone seemed okay with that idea so Twilight ended up using her magic to levitate all of us over the wall. We all landed gracefully as the magic just dropped us.

“Hahaha see? That wasn't so bad!”

“Woah, this place looks awful!” Crystal exclaimed as the tone in her voice sounded like she was disappointed in what she saw.

We all turned around to face this black and stony castle with black flags with that sliver bull sign. The sky was dark and gray as thunder started to erupt. Of course, there were guards at the door and also some on the windows and some at the top. There were houses nearby the castle which was like a ghost town! The fog seem to go away as we were getting closer and closer to the castle. We all hid behind this bush but our eyes peaked out as we watched the guards surrounding the door.

“So what's the plan getting past these guys?” Pinkie whispered.

“Hmmm, I don't know. Dash, do you have an idea?” Shivani looked at me and smiled. “After all, Tirek is after you.”

“Hmmm I know we need to create a distraction. I was thinking that Rarity could-”

“Oh! Oh Oh! Me! Me! Pick me! I'll do the distraction!” Pinkie shouted but we all told her to shush because we didn't want to get caught. Twilight gave a very long sigh and smacked her forehead while groaning.

“Yes Pinkie….what’s your-”

“I was thinking of making a big,gigantic, super duper humongous strawberry swizzle swirl, banana, and vanilla cake with a candle and-”

“No offense Pinkie but I'm sure distracting the guards will be a better shot at this. Besides, where are you going to get some flour and all the baking materials, an oven, a stirrer and most importantly, a place to cook this? I'm gonna see if Rarity can distract the guards.”

Pinkie didn't seem upset or angry but instead she shrugged her shoulders and smiled. Rarity got a pair of red lipstick from her pocket and added a double layer of red to her lips as she smacked them together. She also tighten up her clothes so her feminine side would come out more and glossed her hair a few times and she was ready to go.

“Alright darlings! I'm ready to play my part. For Rainbow Dash and Gemporia, I will!”

“Oh please let this work…”

To be continued….
