Rainbow Dash opened her eyes and saw that Soarin was still in his sleep underneath her. She didn’t get up from the bed but only nuzzled closer to his chest and hugged him softly. “Good morning Dashie.” Soarin said and opened his eyes to find the mare of his dreams sleeping on his chest. “Hi Soar… we should get up and get something to eat before Twilight or Night Comet yells us out of bed.” Dash said and got out of the bed. “Yeah… your right.” Soarin said and they walked down stairs to see Twilight giving a lecture to Spin and Pinkie Pie. “And that’s why no rutting on my furniture!” Twilight said to them angrily. “Okay we are sorry.” Spin simply said and looked at Pinkie pie. “Hi guys!” Rainbow Dash said and took a set from the table. “When are we gonna leave for the valley?” “Now.” Night Comet said as he walked in with the rest of the ponies. “Boys get your armour sets on and take your swords with you. They might come in handy.” He said and after getting all they would need they were off to the valley. It took them the whole day to walk to the valley since the train didn’t go there. When they arrived to the valley they could see an old mine entrance on the side of a hill. They knew that that would be the place where Blizzard would be hiding if he was even in this valley. They walked in to the mine and saw that it hadn’t been used for years. There was Spider webs everywhere and only light in there was coming out of Rarity’s and Twilight’s horns which they used to light the way. “Be careful.” Night Comet simply said as they walked deeper into the mine. Fluttershy was scared shitless and said. “I have a bad feeling about this.” “Well you should.” A voice could be heard saying. It echoed through the mine and it was all most demonic. It creeped every pony out. Rainbow Dash took a look at Soarin but he was just as scared. Flash had walked over to Twilight and was ready to charge at anything that would come out of the Darkness. Rarity and Thunderlane were sticking next to each other as they scanned the darkness while Fluttershy and Applejack were trying to light a torch they had found on the wall. Pinkie had decided to jump on to Spin’s back and was hugging him tightly as he took his sword to his hooves. “Blizzard. Come out we know it’s you.” Night comet Said to the darkness of the mine and waited for an answer. “You have to find me first.” The voice said and chuckled. “Fine. Let’s keep moving.” Night Comet said and took his sword out too. Rest of the stallions followed him by taking their swords out too. And Fluttershy and Applejack had finally gotten the torch lit and were now handing out lit torches to those who wanted one. They continued to walk deeper and deeper to the until the mine spilt into two directions. Other one seemed to go up and the other one seemed to go down. “We are gonna spilt up. Stallion to the right and mares to the left one. If you come to a dead end turn back and come to here.” Night Comet said and every one nodded. After that the five stallions walked down the mine and the mares up. They kept walking down and down until they came to a large room that was lit by purple crystals that covered the walls. The stallions could see the traitor in front of them… he had black fur and red mane and his eyes were slightly glowing orange. They also saw the elements of heroism right behind him. They were all different colour… Blue for valor, Red for strength, Violet for wisdom, Green for honour, Orange for bravery and white for fairness. “Well isn’t this nice.” The black Pegasus stallion started. “A family reunion.” “We will give you one change to say sorry.” Night Comet said and looked at his eyes. “Yeah how about no.” And as Blizzard said that several shadowy figures rose through the ground and picked up swords and shields. The elements of heroism also flew up to the air and hovered. “Thunderlane and Spin get the elements! Soarin and Flash take care of those shadows! I’ll take him!” Night Comet said and the Stallions were off. Soarin and Flash started to slash up the shadows one by one with their swords while Night Comet saw Blizzard run out to another room. he quickly ran after him. Meanwhile Spin and Thunderlane were flying and taking the crystals in to their pockets. It was a easy job since Soarin and Flash were doing the fighting. But Once they got the last element Spin was tackled by a shadow. He dropped the elements and two of them landed safely on the ground but the third one… the blue one… His element of valor hit a pickaxe and shattered into millions of pieces. He gasped and saw the magic that was stored inside the crystal escape it and flew towards him. He felt how the magic went into his body and sent out huge shivers of pain. But all the sudden it stopped. He didn’t feel any pain and felt okay. He looked up and saw Thunderlane fighting two shadows he was over powered and the crystals that he had went flying. Spin quickly tried to catch them all but one hit the floor and shattered into pieces… Thunderlane’s red element of strength… the magic flew towards Thunderlane and went into his body. He cried out in pain as the magic was inside him but he also soon felt okay. Two of them looked around each other and saw that the shadows were gone. They looked at each other and saw a faint orange glow in each others eyes they didn’t know why but they all the sudden realised that they could trust each other more than the rest of the stallions… after all they were the real stallions of the family the rest was there just to admire them… or at leats that’s what they thought all the sudden. “Thunderlane.” Spin said and gave him and devilish smile. “Spin.” Thunderlane said and gave him a similar smile. “Let’s go you know what to do.” Spin simply said. He didn’t know why but he knew that Thunderlane knew what they had to do… “Blizzard!” Night Comet yelled into the Darkness of the room. He took out his sword and was ready to strike him if he showed up. “Night Comet!” He yelled and strike hi to the back of his head from behind. Night Comet was throng off his balance and fell to the floor of the mine. “You bitch!” Night Comet said and jumped back at him. He tackled him to the floor and started to pound his face in with stiff strikes. As he pounded his face he saw that he was just smiling and laughing. But his eyes were not glowing orange… It wasn’t Blizzard… Night Comet quickly stopped beating him and turned around to see Blizzard with a sword. “Hi.” He simply said and put the sword right through Night Comet’s chest. Night Comet saw the orange glow in his eyes as he showed the sword deep in to his chest and through his body. He felt the pain and the blood coming out of the wound. The Blizzard twisted the sword and pulled it out. It felt like his heart was pulled out and Night Comet quickly collapsed to the floor. He coughed out blood as he saw Spin and Thunderlane walk in to the room. Night Comet fought the pain and stayed awake. “Ahh you are here.” Blizzard said as they walked in front of him. Night Comet saw that faint orange glow in their eyes too… this was it wasn’t it. “Well I think that you should now proclaim your loyalty to me.” Blizzard said and smiled victoriously. “Sorry but the empress of the night does not need your services anymore.” Spin said and drove his sword through Blizzards body. Night Comet just watched as Spin pulled out his sword and then Thunderlane made a huge swing with his sword that cut Blizzard throat open. Blizzard quickly collapsed and stopped breathing as the blood form the large cut in his neck was spilling out. Then Thunderlane and Spin turned to face Night Comet Who was bearly awake and alive. They walked over to him and looked at him with their orange glowing eyes. “Should we finish him?” Thunderlane asked Spin. “I don’t think we need to.” And after that Night Comet felt the world around him turn dark and cold… there was no sound, no light, no life…
