The bell of the school rang loudly; signaling the end of the students long school day. One by one the students left the school. Razor began to walk towards his forge. He had his journal floating in front of him. He looked at the image of a large mace he had drawn. The customer who ordered the mace; wanted it to mirror a weapon from a fantasy based board game. He sighed a little in frustration. Although he had no problems with making fantasy based weapons. He would feel like the creation was not original. To him it would feel like he had stolen someone else' s creation.

“Razor!” The voice of Sandbar called out.

Razor jumped a little as he turned around. He saw both Sandbar and Ocellus walking up to him, “Hey.” He greeted with a smile getting smiles back from them.

“Hey, Razor,” Ocellus greeted him happily, “Are you busy?” She asked.

Razor nodded, “I have a mace to build for a client from Las Pegasus and double-bit ax for a client in Manehatten,” He answered, “Why do you ask?” He asked.

Sandbar answered, “We were wondering if you wanted to come to the lake with us,” He said as Ocellus nodded, “We haven't hanged their in a while.” He added.

Razor was silent for a moment; his mind processing the decision he had to make. After a moment he put away his journal and smiled again, “I would like to join all of you.” He replied.

The three began to walk to the lake; they met up with the others when they reached the lake. Smolder and Silverstream swam in the cool water. While Gallus and Ocellus were sunbathing. Yona, Sandbar, and Razor were trying to build a large sandcastle. Until, Silverstream and Smolder used their wings to send a waterfall raining down on them. All three of them were drenched; Yona and Sandbar glared at the two. Who were laughing loudly at them. While Razor simply stared at them.

“I have an idea.” He said causing the two to get close to him.

Smolder and Silverstream were too busy laughing at them. They never noticed Razor using his magic to slowly hover Yona over the water just in front of them. Yona was doing her best to keep from laughing. Sandbar, was eager to see what was going to happen. Razor, well he was wondering what would be the most optimal drop height. When he found it his magical hold on Yona was released.

“YAK!” Yona yelled causing the two to look up at her, “SPLASH!” She finished as she crashed into the water. Smolder and Silverstream screamed as a wave of water crashed onto them. Both of them were pushed under the water; only to break the surface of it a second later. Both of them gasping for air as they tried to steady themselves.

Their friends laughed loudly at them; both of them joining in on the laughter soon after. The three then swam up to the shore. Shaking off the water once they were fully out of the lake. They then rested in a shady area on the shore line. Their friends joining them as they rested in the cool shadow of a low hanging tree branch.

“It feels good to get together like this,” Gallus commented, “We should do this more often.” He finished getting nods from them.

“If we did this more often I would get no work done.” Razor commented causing his friends to roll their eyes, “That was not funny?” He asked.

“Um,” Silverstream began as she looked at the others for an answer; all of them shrugged causing her to sigh, “Keep working on the jokes, Razor.” She finished receiving a nod from him.

The group of seven rested peacefully on the shoreline of the lake. Yes, each of them wished they could do this more often. But, even they knew good thing unfortunately had to come to an end. What they didn't know was how it was going to come to an end. For a certain white unicorn was walking up to them.

“Razor.” Rarity called out causing the group to look in her direction, “Razor, are you here?” She called out again.

Razor stood up and waved at her; once she saw him. She quickly made her way over to them, “Is everything alright, Professor, Rarity?” He asked as she stood before them.

“No,” Rarity answered as a stern look appeared on her face, “You forgot that I needed your help after school today.” She finished.

“Ma'am?” Razor asked confusion laced in his voice, “You never informed me.”

“No, darling. I spoke with you after my class today,” She explained to him, “I asked you to come by.”

“I did not have your class today,” Razor interrupted her, “What is going on?” He asked.

Rarity released an irritated growl, “Razor, I do not have time to waste on you,” She said as she began to use her magic, “Now come with me.” She said as her magic wrapped around his front right hoof. Pulling him forward a little.

“I did not have your class today,” He repeated his voice getting louder as she dragged him, “Let go of me! I did not have your class today! Something is wrong!” He began to shout.

Smolder jumped to her feet, “Hey!” She shouted as she ran up and stood in front of Rarity, “Let him go! You're scaring him!” She finished but Rarity ignored her. She growled and grabbed her shoulder, “I'm talking to.”

Smolder yelled in pain as a magical bolt struck her chest. Pushing her back hard; while her friends looked on in horror. Rarity stood over the shocked dragoness; a look of anger etched onto her face. While Smolder looked up at her with a look of fear.

“You dare touch me lizard!” Rarity growled out as she began to charge up another magical attack, “I will put you in your proper!”

Rarity was interrupted by a rock being thrown hard against her head. She fell to the ground unconscious; while Smolder and the others looked at Razor. Who was panting and sweating heavily in fear. While Rarity was distracted he had picked up a large rock with his magic. He used it to knock her out cold. Smolder quickly got to her feet and got to Razor's side. The others followed closer behind her.

“Razor, are you okay?” Smolder asked as they checked him over.

He didn't respond at first; all he did was just stare forward at the unconscious mare. He then slowly nodded at her question. All of them then stared forward at Rarity. They could hear a small groan escape from her. While Razor shook a little out of the sudden shock. After a minute he finally spoke.

“What is going on?” Razor asked.

“I don't know,” Sandbar answered, “but, I think we should go see, Twilight,” He continued before walking a little ways forward, “Come on. Lets.”

Sandbar was suddenly interrupted by a Timberwolf suddenly tackling him. It jaws snapping just inches away from his neck. Both Gallus and Smolder ran up to help him. As they tried to get the Timberwolf off of him. From the lake a Cragidile crawled out; releasing a loud roar as it charged the small group. Silverstream and Yona barely had enough time to escape the creatures attack. Ocellus had changed her form into a mouse. For, the Cragidile had caught her and had almost chewed her into bits. Razor focused his magic on another nearby rock; ready to chuck it at the Timberwolf.

“Razor!” The voice of Fluttershy shouted from behind him.

He turned around just as she ran up to him; grabbing hold of one of his forehooves, “Razor, come on! It's not safe here!” She screamed in fear as she tried to pull him away.

“But, my friends!” Razor replied.

“Forget about them,” She responded, “Come on! We need.” She was stopped by him using the rock he had picked up for the Timberwolf. Which was now burning to death thanks to Smolder. The Cragidile was scared away by Ocellus. Who had changed herself into a giant squid. The group regrouped on the lake shore.

“What's going on?!” Silverstream shouted.

None of them had an answer; why did two of their Professors suddenly attack them? Why were they only after Razor? Why was the weather team closing in on them?

“Wait, what!?” All of them said at once as they looked up.

“There they are!” One of the pegasus stallion's yelled.

“Run!” Yona shouted.

The group did not need to be told twice. All of them had began running as fast as they could towards the school. As they ran they were ambushed by a group of unicorns. Who tried to throw a net over them. They began running into the center of town. Where a group of earth ponies had attacked them. One of them had almost knocked Smolder out. But, thanks to Yona she was okay. The group ran and ran; until they were completely surrounded in the middle of town. It citizens slowly closing in on them.

“What do we do?” Ocellus asked.

“No idea.” Sandbar answered.

Gallus growled, “Well can someone thank of a plan?!”

“We're all ears Gallus!” Smolder hissed at him.

The mob was getting closer and closer; only to stop just in front of them. From the crowd walked the Princess of Friendship herself. Her students sighed in relief; only to gasp in horror as she began to charge a spell.

“Get close to me now!” Razor suddenly shouted.

His friends did as they were told and gathered around him. By the time Twilight had shot her attack; The group had suddenly vanished in a bright flash of light. The group reappeared inside of Razor's forge. He quickly walked to the front and put up a protection spell. While the others looked around.

“Razor, what are we doing here?” Asked Ocellus as a magical shield covered the front of the forge.

“This place is safe for a moment,” Razor responded before walking over to a wall. His horn glowed removing a concealing spell he had on the wall. Revealing a number of swords he had made for himself, “Arm yourselves.” He finished.

It didn't take long for the residence of Ponyville to reach the school. They stopped just in front of the entrance; the only ones to continue were Starlight, Twilight, and a white mare. They walked around the school and right up to Razor's forge. Starlight's and Twilight's horns glowed with magical energy. And, in a single blast they destroyed the shield. Sending a large amount of smoke and dust into the air. The mare smiled wickedly as she walked forward.

“Come out Lamina, my dear,” She said in a voice that sounded like ice, “I have been waiting for this day.” She finished.

One by one the students exited the forge; each of them holding a weapon Razor had forged. Razor held a simple double bladed sword. Smolder had chosen a ninjato he had made. Ocellus brandished what appeared to be and edged shield. Gallus carried a large double-bit ax. Silverstream was armed with a halberd. And, Sandbar was using a broadsword. Yona carried a sword known as a cutlass. All of them stood at the ready; prepared to enter a fight. The mare in front of them only laughed out of pity.

“Now, put those down before you hurt yourselves.” She said.

“Who are you!?” Smolder yelled in anger.

The mare laughed again, “Since all of you are about to die. I guess there is no harm in knowing who your destroyer is,” She replied as the two beside her readied another magical attack, “I am Apani chosen wielder of the soul blade.” She finished while the group in front of them looked at each other in confusion.

Apani smiled and in a flash of light; the two launched their magical attacks. The group braced themselves for the attack. But, all of the sudden both beams were launched back at the two; knocking both of them out. Apani brought up a sword that pulsed with dark energy. A metallic clang came from it; almost like an attack had been blocked. The group looked forward and saw something small standing in front of them. It looked to be like a large mouse; except it was covered in armor and carried a small double-edged blade. The blade glowed a feint blue light.

“Ah, Matthias Unidostres,” Apani spoke, “The chosen wielder of the time blade.” She finished as he tightened his grip on his sword.

Both of them stared at each other for a few seconds; just before Matthias had suddenly vanished. Apani then brought her sword up; blocking an attack that seemed like it had come from no where. The group watched in awe as the two fought; Matthias then locked blade with Apani.

“Evening! Get them out of here!” He yelled.

“I'm on it!” A voice from the left yelled.

The group looked and saw an earth mare running up to them. The mare was a light pink color with a white mane and tale. A dark blue streak ran through her mane. She stopped just in front of the group, “We need to get out of here! Come on follow me!” She yelled before running off; the group following close behind her.

Apani saw the group escaping, “Do not let them escape!” She yelled causing the ones she had under her control to follow the small group.

The group ran as fast as they could through the streets of Ponyville. The could hear the crowd behind them. They ran as fast as they could; but as they rounded a corner. Evening was suddenly tackled by Applejack.

“Evening!” Yelled Ocellus.

Evening kicked the mare off of her, “Run! I'll hold her off!” She yelled as she tackled the mare in front of her.

The group was tempted to help her. But, once they heard the crowd of ponies closing in on them. They quickly took off running again. As they began to run away from the crowd again; they were blocked by Rainbow Dash. The came to a stop as she stared at them in anger. But then she was hit by a magical beam. The group looked up only to see a yellow colored pegasus; wearing magical armor. The group swore he looked like an alicorn.

“Hunter, keep them busy!” Yelled another male voice.

In front of the group another male stallion appeared this one was an earth stallion wearing a dark cloak. Concealing what he looked like, “Come with me!” He yelled.

“Who are you!?” Yelled Gallus.

“Anonymous, now come on Bumblebee and Hunter will keep them busy.” He finished.

“What?” Ocellus asked as a magical bolt shot over her head. She screamed as they ducked down. Another bolt was shot at her; only to be blocked by another unicorn who was purple in color. They figured that was the one who was known as Bumblebee.

The group followed Anonymous all the way out of Ponyville; they ran and ran until they came to a stop at the edge of the Everfree forest. All of them were panting loudly as they tried to catch their breath. Anonymous looked back towards the town; only to sigh in anger.

“They're still coming,” He whispered to himself as he turned back towards the others, “Head for the castle of the two sisters,” He then gave Silverstream a blue glowing crystal, “Break this crystal when you get into the castle. And, wait for three days to pass. On the fourth day help will come for you all.” he turned back towards the town, “The castle go now!” He yelled before running back towards the town.

The group nodded and ran into the forest. Listening as the sounds of battle echoed around them. None of them knew for how long they had ran. All they knew; was that they had to get to the castle. Normally what would take them about ten minutes of walking. Took them only five minutes of running. All of them were panting inside the main lobby of the castle. Some of them had collapsed from exhaustion. While others were looking out the windows towards the bridge. Like she was instructed; Silverstream crushed the crystal and a bright flash moved through the castle. To them nothing happened; everything seemed the same. But, on the outside the castle had been replaced with more woods.

Ocellus gasped in horror as she watched a small group of ponies approach the castle. They stood just in front of the bridge for a few seconds; only to turn and head deeper into the forest. She sighed in relief before falling down to the floor. All of them panted heavily for a few seconds; until Gallus growled loudly and stood up.

“What in the buck was that!?” He yelled as he turned to look at his friends, “Why did out teachers and the ponies we knew; suddenly attacked us?!” He finished.

“Calm down, Gallus,” Razor spoke, “Clearly that mare did this to them.” He finished.

Smolder spoke up, “Yeah, what was her name again? Apani, right?” She asked receiving nods from them, “How could she control them though? She wasn't a unicorn.” She added.

Sandbar answered, “That sword,” He said causing the group to look at him, “Didn't she call it the soul blade?” He asked.

Ocellus nodded, “Yes, but, I've never heard of a blade that can control others.” She said.

The group talked amongst themselves for a little while; until they moved deeper into the castle. Finding the room which they had made for all of them to sleep in. The first time they had run from their kingdoms. Each of them fixed a place for them to lay their tired bodies on.

“How long are we going to have to stay here?” Yona asked.

“Until three days pass; the fourth day someone comes for us.” Silverstream answered; while Sandbar looked back towards Ponyville.

“Sandbar, are you okay?” Razor asked.

“Do you think they are alright?” Sandbar asked.

The group knew what he meant; he was worried about the ones who saved them. All of them looked out the window he was staring out of. Each of them looking back towards Ponyville; hoping that the hero's who saved them were okay. Said creatures are shown on their knees in the middle of Ponyville. In front of them stood Apani; who glared at them with a cold look. She stopped just in front of them; her blade at the ready. She then slowly raised it up only to immediately bring it down onto one of them. A few seconds later she was walking away from the center of the village. While a group of ponies cleaned up the mess.

“You will be mine Lamina,” She spoke, “You will be mine, blade master.” She finished as she walked to the castle of friendship.
