Bright Haze: The Sky Dwellers

The cart rolled across the wasteland slowly and the Dwellers were flying around, apparently scouting. There would only be about three of them at one time around the twelve prisoners. One of the elite unicorns had been sitting with his horn glowing all day. Rainbow Dash became curious.

"What's he doing?" She asked Twilight.

"Communication spell, probably talking to his commander." She replied, then her horn began to glow.

"What are you doing?" Rainbow asked, she was always bewildered by magic, but being a Pegasus could never use it and had had some, strange, magical things happen to her.

"Going to break the lock. The Dwellers have a wagon of weaponry, presumably ours just behind us and that means there are only four or five actually here, which we can overcome with magic." Twilight said, one of the elite Pegasi overheard and nodded in agreement, bumping the unicorn in the trance, he cut the spell off.

"We are breaking out." The Pegasi whispered. The unicorn nodded and prepared a spell.

"Just what Shining Armor told us to do." He replied and nodded to Twilight. She blasted the lock off the door. And the group piled out, attacking the Dwellers. Rainbow flow straight to the weapons in the battle and grabbed a spear. Looking for her target, she saw the captain, he had just stabbed one of the elite, the unicorn who was talking to Shining Armor. Rainbow charged at him in rage and stabbed the Pegasus in the leg, he fell down, dropping the spear without making a sound. Rainbow stood over him, primed for the kill.

"Do it then." The Dweller said, spitting blood. Rainbow hesitated. Then lowered the spear so it wasn't aiming at him.

"I may want to kill you, hell I may hate you from here to hell, but if I kill you now, I would be no better than you. But if I ever see you again, especially near Spectra, I won't spare you." Rainbow said, holding herself back, then she began to walk away, the Dwellers were either dead or locked up and everypony had weapons and armour on. The captain slowly moved, grabbing his spear and aimed to throw it.

"Rainbow!" Twilight shouted, seeing this. Rainbow turned around and in one swift movement, throw the spear at the Dweller, still not killing him, but stopping him from using the spear.

"What's the plan?" Rainbow asked.

"We return to Canterlot, there is sure to be a siege there soon, if not already. They have taken Cloudsdale so Canterlot is their biggest threat." One of the Pegasi elite said, everypony nodded and Fluttershy stopped peeing. For her she was doing very well in this situation, except pissing herself every time there was a battle.

"Then to Canterlot." She said and the group, after looting as much food and water as possible and having a hearty meal they moved off, leaving the captain to bleed out in the sand.

The walk was long and slow, but Rainbow was thankful to be out of the cart, they had been in it for nearly two days so would be at Canterlot in roughly two or three days, which wasn't idle if a siege had already started but they couldn't help that. A few of the scouts had flown back and spotted the prisoners and attempted an attack, only to fall very quickly and swiftly by the power of the eleven ponies extremely pissed off. Rainbow was thinking of how Haze's group were doing, but not really Haze, just Spectra, had he found out his parents were killed by a Sky Dweller, or had they actually been killed by said race, was it a lie to piss off Rainbow? She would only learn if Spectra was told. Rainbow remembered the times she had with him, being together and when Twilight turned him into a mare, the week where they had sex nearly none stop because she had flared up, as had everypony else. She smiled just thinking of when every morning she would wake up watching the sleeping form of Spectra for hours before going back to sleep only to feel him wake up and nudge her with his nose, it was so cute. She smiled and kept smiling all the way, completely oblivious to everything that was going on, just thinking of Spectra.
