Hypastrix: A Greater Force

Over in Phillydelphia, the carrier pigeon lands next to the Mayor. She looks over, and takes the scroll. After reading the note, she gasps. Zecora lives? How did she escape Hypastrix? And more importantly, where is she?

Mayor Blaze Coin of Phillydelphia spread her wings and flew to the local deli. The people at the sub bar immediately started on a Daisy Flamebell sub, and Blaze Coin tossed four pieces into  the tip jar. When the sub slides out, she slides a twelve piece in, and puts it in her saddlebag then flies towards Ponyville.

Once she lands, she knocks on Mr. and Mrs. Pie’s door. They open the door. “Can we do anything… Ms Coin, what are you doing here?” they ask.

“I’m wondering if Zecora lives here?” Blaze asks.

“A-Actually, she lives in the Everfree Forest, why?” they ask.

“Because, she used to be a Phillydelphia guard. I think she got amnesia in a fight. I’ll be off, then!”

Blaze trots happily through the Everfree, then knocks on Zecora’s shack door. Zecora opens the door, then falls on her tail in shock. “B-Blaze? I’M SO SORRY IT WASN’T MUTINY I SWEAR I ALMOST DIED THAT’S ALL PLEASE DON’T HAVE ME EXECUTED FOR MUTINY!!!’ Zecora says in one long run-on sentence.

Blaze laughs. “Why would we have you executed for mutiny? Hypastrix almost killed you, no-one can blame you for running from… That,” Blaze says, unloading her saddlebag, starting to chew on the sub.
