“Claymari hides in a ditch… as the scorching hot winds singe her mane…”

“After about a minute of hell the winds subsided… Claymari emerge to see a desert landscape with large deep cracks scattered a crossed it…”

“In the distance a black tower… Shooting from the tower a rotating storming beam of fire and smoke…”

“Soon… that storm of fire will return…”

A loud bird screech causes the Sword Mare to turn her head.

“She’s over here!” A voice calls out.

“A day ago…”

“You wish to have the Elements of Harmony?” Claymari raises an eye brow.

“They are said to be in the tower of fire in the Baked Valley,” Reverend Bones tells the Sword Mare. “Get them for me, for your companions.”

“Baked Valley is a dangerous place!” Claymari answers taking a step forward.

A shadow shoots across the floor. It suddenly turns into a jet black crystal that points it’s self at Claymari’s neck.

“I have your friends and family,” Bones smirks, “It’s best you accept my offer and I let them go, alive.”

“Okay but I want one pony to come with me,” Claymari tells the dark pony.

“Knives,” Bones said coldly, “And one of my people.”

“Sir,” A Zebra, a female enters into the room. “There is a commotion going on at Perfect Image's cottage.”

“Who are you going to have come with me?” Claymari brings Bones’s attention back to her.

“Her name is Silent Hill…”

“Okay you two enter in through the door,” An ash colored Unicorn Mare orders two ponies. She turns to a third. “You have a shotgun you stay back here.”

The two ponies enter into the cottage. Petty Kitty was waiting for them. She had a smirk on her face and was mixing drinks from Perfect Image’s liquor cabinet.

“Who are you?” A pony demands.

“A simple bar maid,” Petty Kitty remarks mixing a drink in a shaker.

They see the object on her wrist. “What’s that?”

“It allows a bar maid to do this,” Petty Kitty splashes the two ponies in alcohol.

The Cat Pony slips into SATS. She scratches one pony in the face with her paw. At the same time she scratches the other pony in the neck with her back paw. As the SATS spell ran out. A quick red bleep appears in Petty Kitty’s vision. She ducks just in time to dodge a shot gun blast. The cat pony jumps behind a counter as another gun blast wiz by her head.

As the gun pony was reloading, Petty Kitty lights a match and tosses it over the counter. The alcohol on the floor ignites into flame. The first two ponies are set on fire. The pony holding the gun yelps as his feet catches the flames.

Petty Kitty tosses another alcoholic bottle smashing it over the gun pony. The flames whoosh up over his body.

Winkz teleports next to Petty Kitty, puts her hoof on the small pony’s shoulder and the two of them teleports away.

“Winkz had focused on one of the Bushwoolies who went off ahead into the woods…”

“This had put the two ponies ahead of their other allies…”

Zero and Perfect Image was running through the woods. Another pony chased after them.

Petty Kitty slips into the shadows. She flanks the pursuing pony. The mare slips and the bar maid kitty aims her claws at the back of the pony’s neck.

“Don’t move,” Petty Kitty orders.

“Just then a piercing wailing siren sound shoots through the woods… An eerie gray magical light bounces up and down in darkness of the woods as it approaches…”

“It… was the Unicorn Silent Hill…”

All the ponies in the area were stunned from the noise. The ponies automatically close their ears but this had no effect on the magical sound.

The horn went out and the noise stopped. “Now would you all excuse your selves and come with me.”

“Suddenly to the magical mare’s great surprised… A maroon Crystal Unicorn appears and makes herself and Petty Kitty disappear…”

Silent Hill lights her horn preparing to use her magic. When the Unicorn teleports in again. She starts up her siren spell stunning the Crystal Pony and every pony in ear shot.

Silent Hill shuts off the noise. “Now I can direct that directly into your brain and only your brain. You will have to teleport pretty far away for that not to kill you next time. Got that?”

“Yes ma’am.” Winkz nods her head.

“Claymari… Silent Hill… and Knives walk up a large steep mountain…”

“As they walked up the mountain… A loud roar would pass over head once in a while…”

“At the peak of the mountain… they could see Baked Valley and its cracked landscape…”

“There’s that fire thing coming this way,” Knives points out.

“I think we can hide from it in those cracks,” Silent Hill points out, “It’s a matter of finding one of the right angles as to not get heat blasted. I suppose the question is do we wait for it to pass or dash out and hope to reach cover in time.”

“Claymari… banking on the higher speed and endurance of an Earth Pony… suddenly takes off running down the cliff side…”

“Knives quickly chased after her already realizing the plan Claymari had come up with…”

“Silent Hill ran off next… But being a Unicorn had no chance of catching up with the Earth Ponies…”

Claymari was the first to reach the crevasse. She pokes her head out to check the approaching smoking spinning storm of fire. The storm gathered so much energy it was shooting sparks of lighting.

Knives makes it to the safe area next. Silent Hill was still several yards out when a beam of lighting zaps across the ground in front of her. The Unicorn was stunned by this causing her to skid on the rocky soil.

“They did not watch the spinning wall of fire move upon the ashen pony… Mostly because they had to protect their own heads… But they were also the kind of ponies that wouldn't watch that happen to another living being…”

“Back in Bones Town… Reverend Bones decides to have a personal audience with Captain Zero Endless…”

“But the great liar Azrael was there…”

“I’ve been informed that you are from a time where the races of ponies live in harmony?” Bones looks at Azrael. “Mostly.”

“It’s nice to know that little bit of information would have stopped you from putting a bullet in my head,” Zero snaps.

“I gotten the story from your Zebra friend here,” Bones points out, “But the reliability of what he says is questionable.”

“That sounds kind of racist,” Zero mocks.

“I’m a factist above all else,” Bones snaps, “Some types of people are more reliable than others. Upbringing and there for race has to be put in account. If I knew you didn't have the up bring of a normal Pegasus. I’d been more lenient then to the others of your kind. Even peasant Pegasus are known to have a I’m superior mine set as they are raised. I won’t assume or I’ll dissassume I given every pony a chance to show their willingness to change their mind set. You didn’t come to me a repentant soul. You came to me a beaten dog willing to bite those around them. So you can call me racist as much as you want.”

“Very well, what do you want to know?” Zero asks.

“How did the pony tribes unite in your time?” Bones replied, “I have to try to recreate those events.”

“Ambitious,” Zero answers, “It happened because of hate. Their hate summoned the Wendigos. At the last moment a group within the government of each race found a way to see eye to eye. They found love in that.”

“And why haven’t you united with the Zebra?” Bones asks.

Zero looks at Azrael and speaks in a slow tone. “His whole race is insane. You may be getting along well with the Zebra now. But you make the wrong move or say the wrong thing. All the Zebra here will forget about all the good you did for them and hang you and every one Zebra by the neck. This is a fact.”

“You are dismissed,” Bones waves Zero off.

“As Zero is taken out of the room… Reverend Bones is left with his thoughts…”

“Umm, Wendigos,” The buck mutters under his breath.

“Zero was taken to the guest wing of the building… Guards stopped at the end of the hall…”

As Zero walked up to his room, Philia and Perfect Image came walking out of another room together the both of them glowing. Perfect Image’s Bushwoolies who were waiting at the front of the door cooed and cheered at the blue pony as she walked out.

“It’s nice to see you two are getting along,” Zero smiles.

"Very," Philia purred.

“Yeah, getting along,” Perfect Image replied nervously.

Zero gives a questioning look, “Your still worried about the others?”

“No,” I’m fine,” Perfect Image blushed.

“Philia!” A guard pony speaks up. “Reverend Bones wishes to talk to you.”

“Claymari examines the brick walls of the crevasse… She comes to a conclusion…”

“This is artificial?” The Sword Mare points out.

The sky was getting cloudy and a good snow was hitting the ground. It melted when it hit the surface, making things slick.

“This passage way too,” Knives walks around from the corner. “The clay bricks have worn a little but they are in good shape.”

“Is the whole valley like this?” Claymari asks out loud. “I could see maybe people making a city, its too big to be a fort it scretches for miles.”

“I see no door that could lead to an underground structure.” Knives points out. “If I have to guess this hold terrain is meant to slow us down. We can’t make the whole trip through these passages. We can’t see the storm coming and to get caught down the wrong way when it passes is death.”

“So we have to take the trip above ground and clime in and out of these damn things?” Claymari sighs.

“Claymari!” They could hear Petty Kitty’s voice call out.

The two ponies look around for her.

“Up here,” Petty Kitty shouts from the top of the wall. “I fallowed you by using my Pipbuck.”

The Cat Pony leaps from the wall. And she lands hard onto mid air. For a second it looked like she was floating then a large orange marble block became visible. Even when it became visible it was still floating in air.

“Ouch? What the hell man,” Petty Kitty rubs her paws. She spots something shiny. “I found a gold coin!”

“I don’t know,” Knives feels the space under the block. “Something invisible is here.”

“Duck!” Claymari shouts as she swings her sword. The blade bounces off the transparent object and a pair of orange blocks became visible. After a few seconds the bricks became invisible again.

“It’s a damn trap,” Knives spat.

Petty Kitty lands between Knives and Claymari.

“Whatever these things are they didn’t show up on my Pipbuck map until I ran into one,” Petty Kitty remarks, “Speaking of its marking a town nearby.”

“Back in Bones Town…”

“So what do you want from me?” Philia asks Reverend Bones.

The Shadow Pony sniffs the Unicorn’s muzzle. Philia replied with a blush.

“What?” She snaps.

“Your full name is Muni Philia?” Reverend Bones asks.

“Yes,” Philia answers.

“Strange how names work out,” Reverend Bones smiles.

“Yeah,” Philia was getting nervous.

“You call the Earth Pony, Claymari your mother?” Bones asks.

“Yes,” Philia answers.

“How do you feel about Unicorns?” Bones replied.

“What kind of question is that!” Philia snaps.

“Your adoptive mother is an Earth Pony, your blood family are Unicorns.” Reverend Bones points out. “They issued a warrant for Claymari for killing your birth mother and stealing you.”

“Do you want me to say I hate them?” Philia snaps with tears. “It’s my choice to be with Claymari!”

“Really?” Bones remarks, “It was your choice your birth mother died?”

Philia was getting very angry. “That’s not what I meant! I mean I’m an adult with my own decisions!” The Unicorn takes a breath. “What are you trying to get at?”

“I’m trying to figure out what kind of mare Claymari is,” Bones answers, “Well she doesn’t like Zebra. But she tries to gain favor with the other pony races. I think my thinking may have been wrong. Instead of trying to change the world in one fell swoop. Maybe foal’s steps are in order.”

“Foal steps?” Philia questions.

“You are dismissed,” Bones waves the mare away.

“As soon as Philia left the room… Azrael steps out of the shadows...”

“I don’t think your plan will work,” The Zebra remarks.

Reverend Bones flashes him an angry look and Azrael realized he made a mistake.

“Of course you’d think that,” The Shadow Pony snaps, “Make your leave serpent. And if I catch you talking to any of the Zebra of my town. I’ll have a sniper take off your head then.”

Azrael giggles, “Good Luck, the Zebra says before stepping back in the shadows.

“Back in Baked Valley… The ponies hunker down as the fire storm passes…”

The sky clears, The newly heated ground was making the snowfall steam.

For a moment Petty Kitty’s eyes and ears twitch.

“Is something the matter?” Claymari asks picking up on this look.

“A red blip appeared behind us then disappeared,” Petty Kitty answers, “Its like something can sense the limits of my Pipbuck.”

“Red means pissed off right?” Knives asks.

“Yes,” The Cat Pony replied.

“We have a wall here,” Claymari taps on the invisible bricks making them visible. “We’d have to walk around.

“After a little back tracking… They came upon a wide open area... parts of it was covered in some kind of wood structures…”

The snow turns a heavy rain causing the travelers to run for one of the structures.

Claymari shakes like a dog, then looks at a wood beam. “Why haven’t this burned down?”

“Dragon wood I suppose?” Knives suggests.

“The sounds of squeaks could be heard deeper within the structure… And so our heroes investigate…”

“Rats!” Petty Kitty runs up to an animal pen, One of many each with a dozen animals. She picks up a large tame rat witch sniffs her muzzle pressing his own against the lavender pony. “You think they are someone’s pets?”

“Someone is taking care of them,” Knives remarks, “At this number it looks like they are farming them.”

Petty Kitty picks up a plate sitting in one of the pins. "This looks like bone mill, I think they are feeding it to the rats. Who owns them must eat meat and gives them the scraps."

“Uck, their using rat poo to grow mushrooms,” Claymari puts her hoof over her muzzle and with the other points at a wide trough with some large light brown chestnut looking things growing in it.

“Wish I could eat them,” Petty Kitty sighs looking at the rat. “But it's not nice to eat someone else’s animals." Then her eyes light up. “Speaking of, they are coming and not looking friendly.”

“Claymari and Knives lift their weapons just before the door burst open …”

“Bones Town…”

“Your name is Honey Mead?” Reverend bones asks, “And you’re a soldier?”

“Yes sir,” Honey Mead said coldly.

“Do you like killing Zebra?” Bones continued.

“Excuse me?” Honey Mead answers.

“Do you like Killing Zebra?” Reverend Bones repeated.

“That kind of thinking in people is weeded out of the army,” Honey Mead repeated, “You take pleasure in killing one being you take pleasure in killing them all. That’s why Zebra enjoy killing so much.”

“So you believe,” Bones smirks, “Do you want peace?”

“Every warrior wants piece,” Honey Mead answers, “As a mare I can’t settle down and have children if war is a foot.”

Reverend Bones walks around to Honey Mead’s rear. “Are you married?”

“N-no,” Honey Mead answer’s nervously, “Back home there’s a few bucks me and my girlfriends share.”

“I thought you and your Captain Knives are a thing?” Bones asks.

“I don’t think I should answer that!” Honey Mead snaps.

“Very well you can leave,” Reverend Bones walks away.

“The wooden building shakes from the fire storm passing over… as the tama hawk whizzes past Claymari’s head…”

“The attackers were Dracogriffs… Wingless Griffon like creatures with lizard claws and tails…”

“Can we talk about this?” Knives asks as he jumps back from an ax swing.

“Meat don’t talk,” The Dracogriff snaps.

“Luna’s hugs and kisses, they are going to eat us!” Claymari swings her blade down as a Dracogriff tries to enter from her side of the room. The thing’s neck breaks.

Two Dracogriffs charge into the room from the door near Knives. One came at Knives. He was able to dodge the Dracogriff’s attacks but unable to reach for his knives in the close quarters.

The second Dracogriff went at Petty Kitty, who at the time was grabbing up some rats and stuffing them in her saddle bags. She ducks the first attack and leaps over the second.

Claymari thrusts her blade into the skull of Petty Kitty’s attacker. She swings around and hits the Dracogriff attacking Knives. The impact brakes the things shoulder and the beast lets loose a bird squawk of pain.

“This way,” Claymari takes charge and leads them out the other side of the room.

Down the hall a Dracogriff jumps out. Knives throws a knife down the hall taking out the creature.

“We can’t keep this up in here,” Petty Kitty points out.

“Then we get outside,” Claymari starts ramming the loosely nailed together walls.

As the Earth mare worked on the wall. Petty Kitty and Knives defended her by fighting off the Dracogriffs who came down the hall. With a crack a chunk of wall falls free and the three ponies jump out.

They ran down the clay brick corridor with the Dracogriffs chasing after them. The corridor was leading them up hill with the rain water of the storm rushing against them.

Soon they reached the upper level of the valley. Claymari blocks an ax of a Dracogriff. She pushes the creature back making it fall back down hill. As other Dracogriff approach a beam of lighting shoots across the ground causing them to scatter.

“The storm is coming back!” Petty Kitty shouts.

“Run!” Knives shouts in reply.

The ponies run across the landscape with the turning fire storm behind them arcing lighting over their heads. Up ahead Petty Kitty sees a narrow alley. She slides down it as they pass.This caused Knives and Claymari to come to a stop.

“We are too big to fit down there,” Claymari points out.

“Don’t worry about me run,” Petty Kitty tells them.

Knives and Claymari turns and run as a Dracogriff crawls up to the Cat Pony. The creature hissed at her and the mare replied by scratching it in the face.

There’s a canal!” Knives points out.

The two ponies run and jump for it. Knives made it. Claymari smacked into an invisible block which turns orange.

The Dracogriffs start to close in on the orange mare. She turns and runs along the invisible block floor leaving an orange trail behind her.

Claymari found an intersecting corridor that she could drop down in. Unfortunately for her it ran parallel to the fire storm funneling its power down into the pathway. So Claymari had to continue to run away from the spinning fire ball the heat nipping at her tail.

She spots an intersecting corridor and dashed for it, her speed abnormally fast for an Earth Pony her size. Claymari makes it just as the turning wall of flame over comes the hall she was just down.

After a sigh of relief, A Dracogriff tackles her. The mare was knocked on her back. Before he could swing Claymari used her sword to block the ax from coming down on her.

With a shove of her powerful hind legs, Claymari sends that half lizard creature over her. He flies into the fire storm, Screaming as his flesh is stripped away by raging heat.

Claymari gets to her feet and is promptly attacked by another Dracogriff. As the two of them clashed blades a loud siren sound hits the two of them.

A pony shaped figure steps out of the warring flames of the storm. Her skin was burned away and her flesh down to the bone in some places. The pony walks up to the Dracogriff and smashes his head like a melon as her flesh and skin restored to her gray coat.

The sound stops,

“What are you?” Claymari remarks.

“I have a curse cast on me,” Silent Hill replied, “I can’t die.”

“Oh, you’re alive,” Knives remarks as he came walking up.

“And I know the cat is out there,” Silent Hill points out

“Oh, man,” Petty Kitty leaps down from above.

“Bones Town…”

“W-Why would you want to talk to me?” Winkz asks.

“I wasn’t going to press the issue,” Reverend Bones answers, “But could you drop the act?”

“Winkz sighs and closes her eyes… When she opened them again they were glowing black as night…”

“I'm not a true Dark One,” Winkz points out, “I didn’t drink the Zebra blood.”

“A slave can make a good spy,” Reverend Bones remarks.

“That was the idea,” Winkz walks over and helps herself to Bones’s bottle of vodka he had sitting on the table. She takes the glass and puts it up to her muzzle. “We had no idea that you were Reverend Bones.”

“Will that cause me trouble?” Bones asks.

Winkz starts laughing, “Honestly? I don’t know? I have no grudge with you.” The Crystle mare starts looking around the room. She spots a cigarette case. “Mind if I help myself?”

“Sure, they are vintage Rich’s Cigarettes from back in the day.” Bones tells her.

“Remember kids… If it ain’t Rich then it belongs in the ditch…”

Winkz lights the cigarette and takes a deep chug. She exhales the smoke out of her nose. Then the pony inhales from the cigarette again. She walks over to Bones and kisses him on the lips. Smoke shoots out the stallion’s nose.

“What was that about?” Reverend Bones asks making a cough.

“Do you have any idea how long it’s going to be before I get a chance to make love with another Dark One?” Winkz gives him another kiss, then pulls back. “Clean me afterwards and I won’t have to tell them you raped me.”

“Baked Valley…”

“It appears the Dracogriffs are staying the frick away from you,” Petty Kitty remarks.

Silent Hill was scratching her horn. “That Pipbuck thing is messing with my magic.”

“Fascinating,” Applejack speaks out of the Pipbuck. “I would need to tell my sister to fix that.”

“Who’s that?” Silent Hill asks.

“Oh, a pen pal.” Petty Kitty answers.

“Cover!” Knives calls out before the fire storm passes over head.

After the storm passed, the ponies uncover themselves.

“That was shorter?” Claymari notes unsurely.

“And I think it came sooner?” Petty Kitty remarks looking at her Pipbuck.

“Sure you’re not mistaken sweetheart?” Applejakck adds, “From what I understand this fire thingy is rotating from the center of this valley. When you get close to the center the beam should not speed up.

“My Pipbuck’s mapping of the area also seems off.” Petty Kitty points out. “Where we came from appears to be bigger then it was when we were there. Head of us seems to shrink to the point that I can’t see what’s up ahead.”

“I’m bringing up your readings now,” Applejack told the Cat Pony. After a pause she speaks, “Yeah this doesn’t make sense?”

“It’s magic, has to be,” Silent Hill points out.

“I’ll have to call Twilight up on this one then,” Applejack sighs.

Silent Hill gives a shocked look, “Did she just say Twilight?”

“In the castle at the center of Baked Valley… Shadowy figures looked out the window…”

“Dear sister it appears we have visitors coming this way,” A female voice points out.

“Sadly they must share the fate of every other intruder,” The other voice speaks.

“Sister you don’t hear that?” The first female points out.

“Hear what?” The second female asks.

“I don’t know it’s like a whisper of a past life,” The first female answers.

“Don’t be weird,” The second female snaps, “I can’t have you hearing not real things.”

“But the voice was more real then she knew…”

“Claymari and her companions approached the center of the valley… A wall blocks the fire storm which has shrunk to the point that the heated plasma had focused into a laser beam…”

“Behind the beam… A force field protected castle…”

“So now what?” Knives remark as the beam blasted into the wall they were hiding behind.

“I’m sensing life forms on the other side of the wall,” Silent Hill notes, “I think I can assault them with my power.”

“That does not mean they will open the door for us,” Knives points out.

“It gives incentive,” Silent Hill remarks.

“You with the sword,” A voice pierce’s into Claymari's head. “Are you the familiar voice trying to talk to me?”

“What?” Claymari reacts.

“Claymari?” Knives asks.

“Shush,” Claymari snaps.

“I will allow you to come in and only you,” The voice replied.

Claymari turns to her companions. “Who’s in there is talking in my head and is going to let me in. Only me.”

“Within moments the spinning beam stops and an opening appears in the side of the force field…”

“Claymari cautiously approached the opening… But just as she was reaching it… Silent Hill casts her spell…”

The ashen Unicorn shoots through the air like a bullet. Being between the opening and the fast moving pony, Claymari was shoved onto the castle grounds.

“Bones Town…”

“Is she dead!” Perfect Image shouts with tears in her eyes.

“Who?” Bones answers.

“Hound Boy, the mare I came here with,” Perfect Image spats, “She got into a fight. You made her leave. Did you kill her!”

“Oh? No,” Reverend Bones shakes his head.

“Liar, She would have taken me with her.”

“I assure your friend Hound Boy is most likely still alive some were,” Reverend Bones answers, “She always thought you were too kind for the world out there.”

Perfect Image lunges at Bones with a knife. The blade bounces off the pony’s crystal skin. Bones hits the Pegasus with a swing of his neck. She falls to the ground. The Pegasus lay their sobbing.

“I fell for it, I fell for your lies. Only through and act of kindness everything became clear.” Perfect Image sobs.

“Back at the castle in the center of Baked Valley… A little blue alicorn is very upset…”

“I said come alone,” The filly cried.

“That’s what I told her!” Claymari points at Silent Hill.

“Reverend Bones, suspects you will not be able to complete the mission do to some unforeseeable moral dilemma,” Silent Hill answers, “So, It's my job to make sure that doesn’t happen.”

“Intruders!”

“A tall alicorn made of baked clay fill with fires charges down the castle stair case enraged…”

The clay Alicorn shoots a fire ball at the two mares. Claymari avoids the fire ball using a flash step. Silent Hill takes the blast healing her flesh afterwards.

“Silent Hill tries to attack the clay Alicorn with her siren spell… All it caused was gold sparks as the clay Alicorn casted a counter spell…”

“With that… Silent Hill decides to cast another spell right into Claymari’s mind…”

“I’ll keep this thing busy, you go get the Elements,” Silent Hill says to Claymari.

“That’s a little rude don’t you think?” Claymari replied out loud.

“What?” Silent Hill reacts as she holds her hooves up defensively against the clay Alicorn’s flames.

“I mean, I at least was invited in. I’m not going to go around ransacking the place.” Claymari answers.

The clay Alicorn hits Silent Hill with a good hard buck, turning to face Claymari.

“Oh, sweetheart you don’t want to do this,” Claymari smirks.

The clay Alicorn charged at the orange earth pony.

“Sonic Sword Boom!” Claymari shouts swinging Crimson Bond. A shock wave of red hits the clay Alicorn. It was knocked back but not down the impact making it rear up on her hind legs.

“Celestia!” The blue filly cries.

“Celestia?” Claymari said in shock.

“Just then… the head and neck of the clay Alicorn cracks and split… The baked earth falls away to reveal a young teenage Celestia…”

“Luna get away from that mare!” Celestia orders.

The blue little Alicorn puts her tail between her legs and backs away from Claymari. Meanwhile Silent Hill slashes at Celestia’s clay armored flank with a dagger.

“So both of you are going to come at me armed,” Celestia spat as her clay armor reformed around her face. “Vibe Scepter come!”

A metal rod with a red gem at the end flies from the castle and to Celestia’s mouth. With a flick of her neck, the Alicorn smacks Silent Hill across the head. When she slams the end of the rod into the ground.

The ground shakes as a waves shoots out from the rod. The longer the scepter touched the ground the shaking grew stronger. Claymari lost her balance a little bit and used her sword to prop herself up.

“Are you done with this over welling power bullcrap princess?” Claymari remarks.

“Do you know me?” Celestia asks.

“Maybe I’m not sure,” Claymari answers.

“Her sword is speaking, can’t you hear it?” Luna points out.

“Could you handle that?” Claymari points at Silent Hill.

Celestia slams the Vibe Scepter to the ground. The clay reaches up from the ground and grabs Silent Hill. The gray mare was incased up to her neck.

“What the?” Silent Hill struggles against the stone.

“This rod was passed to me by Star Swirl the Bearded,” Celestia smiles.

“Just then… everything clicks into place… Star Swirl the Bearded the father of the Omniomorphic Spell…”

“Celestia demonstrates the power of the Vide Scepter by putting it up to the stone of the castle…”

“A voice spoke…”

“Princesses, this stone holds information on how to cast weather mag-“ Celestia pulls the Vibe Scepter away.

“Why did you come here,” Celestia asks.

“Unfortunately, I’m being black mailed to steal the Elements of Harmony.”

Celestia started laughing,

“What’s black mail?” Luna asks.

Celestia stops laughing. “Good question what is black mail?”

“Really?” Claymari mutters.

“Forgive us,” Celestia replied, “Me and my sister are aware that we had past lives. But our memories of them are gone. Perhaps it’s the nature of our rebirth?”

“I see,” Claymari answers, “It means forces against one’s will. She, her boss has my daughter.” Claymari points at Silent Hill.

“That means she’s you’re not friend?” Luna adds.

“It means she’s not ours,” Celestia points out still giggling.

“What was so funny?” Claymari asks.

“The Elements are gone,” Celestia answers, “A few years before I woke they were cast aside by Star Swirl.”

“The tree is still here!” Luna chirps.”

“Tree?” Claymari reacts.

“I’d like to see you try to take that thing away,” Celestia smirks.

“Below the crypts of the castle… Settle a small crystal sapling…”

“The Tree of Harmony,” Celestia announced.

“It’s fused with the stone,” Claymari notes.

“It’s magic after all,” Celestia adds.

“Just then Crimson Bond starts vibrating…”

“Claymari didn't have much time to react to this as the siren sound jams it's self into her head…”

All three ponies became unable to move as Silent Hill approached with her horn a glowing.

“You’re not the only one that can use vibration magic,” Silent Hill smirks, “I am the master of sound.”

The ashen pony approached the Tree of Harmony. She proceeds to impale her body onto the young tree. Silent Hill screams as her flesh fuse with the artifact.

She grows taller. Bat like wings appear out of her back. The pony’s tail elongates. The horn splits and curls into something that looks like rams horns.

The newly formed beast stretched its wings and takes off for the sky.

“Thats not good,” Claymari remarks.

Celestia gives Claymari a glare. “We have to fallow her.”

“But Star Swirl didn’t want us leaving until-,” Luna points out.

“Star Swirl’s plan will have to wait,” Celestia snaps.

“It did not take long for the mutated Unicorn to reach Bones Town…”

“Silent Hill?” One of the guard ponies said in shock.

“Take me to Bones,” Silent Hill orders.

“At the Reverend Bones’s home…”

“Mr. Bones, Silent Hill has returned,” Happy Happy rushed up to the Shadow Pony. “She looks like a dragon.”

“Ponies changing into dragons are you mad?” Bones snaps.

Silent Hill walks into the room. The Shadow Pony stood there in shock.

“Silent? What did you do?” Bones said dazed at the sight.

“I brought you Harmony, I adsorbed it into my body,” Silent Hill boasts.

“You can’t hold that power,” Bones told the mutated pony nervously.

“Well I have it and it’s for you,” Silent Hill said with a gleam on her face.

“Such power taken in like that always fails,” Bones snaps, "King Sombra almost lost his-"

“Suddenly… the bones in Silent Hill’s foreleg snap and brake…”

“Captain Zero Endless sighed in his room… Then the tree root busts through his floor…”

“Ahhh!” Zero screams running out the door.

The girls only felt the building shake.

“What was that?” Perfect Image says noting the look on Zero's face.

“Tree!” Zero shouted.

“Tree?” Honey Mead reacts.

Both Philia and Winkz rub their horns.

“Something magical is… here?” Philia stuttered.

A leaveless branch shoots through a wall with a loud crash. The ponies guarding the hall scatters. Honey Mead had the wits to grab a guard before they disappeared.

“Our weapons now!” The yellow mare growled.

“At-at the end of the right hall,” The guard stuttered.

Honey Mead retrieved her battle spear. Their wore other weapons. None of the other ponies were trained fighters but they decided to at least arm themselves with daggers.

There was another loud crack. The floor split open. The two sides of the floor were held up by two knotted branches that stretched farther apart. Perfect Image takes to the air. Winkz, Philia and the Bushwoolies was on one side of the gap. Honey Mead and Zero was on the other side.

“Down below… A magical metal rod stabs the trunk of the tree… It turns black and starts to fall…”

“W-what’s going on?” Zero points out as the tree turns black and the over sized branches star to crack.

“It means we have to get out of here now!” Honey Mead shouts.

Perfect Image looks at Zero, with his injured wing and back at her Bushwoolies in the opposite direction.

“Don’t worry, help them!” Philia shouts realizing the Pegasus’s dilemma. “Winkz and I are magic. We can protect ourselves and your friends! They can’t fly.”

Perfect Image nods her head and fallows Zero and Honey Mead.

The small band of ponies had to run and dodge the falling dying branches and pieces of demolished building. Perfect Image even had to help Honey Mead advance down at one point. Zero had to jump for it. Being a Pegasus he could take the abuse but it didn't help his wing any.

When all was said and done, the three ponies found themselves in the center of the tree and commotion. There Reverend Bones stood over the body of Silent Hill. She was back to normal and was riving in pain. A small crystal tree shot out of her body about were her womb would be located.

Celestia pulls the Vibe Scepter out of the rotted bark. Claymari stood behind her. Behind her the small figure of Luna. Petty Kitty and Knives stood behind her.

“My goddess,” Bones said in shock.

“Sister what now? The tree is stuck here,” Luna asks.

“I suppose we have to live here,” Celestia mutters.

“We have to get rid of some vermin,” Claymari smiles pointing at the Shadow Pony.

“What?” Reverend Bones said in shock. Then he understood.

Celestia holds up the Vide Scepter. “I wonder what would win in a fight? Sound or crystal?” The teenage mare smirks.

The Shadow Pony made of crystal gulps. Behind him Philia, Winkz and the Bushwoolies came running up. Perfect Image and the fuzzy creatures couldn’t contain themselves and rush for a group hug.

“As per out deal I’ll be taking my friends now,” Claymari chirped as she walks past Bones.

“What is the name of this place!” Celestia shouts to Claymari.

“Bones Town,” Claymari answers joining with the rest of her friends.

“No, this town isn’t going to be here,” Celestia answers back, “The name of the area!”

“Everfree I believe,” Claymari shouts back.
