After the three of us rushed out of that room with the tubes, we were very pleased to find out that there wasn't any other locks or glass tubes that stood in our way. We rushed out of that room faster than you could say this sentence. "Ahh, it feels good to breath fresh air again." Silver said as the three of us had made it out of that room.
"That's odd, I never noticed this trapdoor before." Diamond said with confusion in her voice. "Filthy must have used it for something before." I responded shortly after. "Well, he had no idea if you would return or not, I don't think he would have made a room like that for something that's not guaranteed like that." Silver commented with clearness in her voice.
"Maybe but we don't have time to question this. We need to find and fix Miles, stop our daddy and save this world before anything bad happens." I said as I then froze when I finished my sentence. "Sydney? What's wrong?" Diamond asked. "I'm speaking obvious plot lines." I said under my breath. "What did you say?" Diamond asked as I turned around. "That we need to get a move on." I said as the three of us pressed onward for about three seconds.
We then noticed Ponyville in the distance....or at least I think that's where Ponyville use to be. Remember back a couple chapters when Diamond and that grey mail pony glitched? Yes? Well those weren't the only two ponies that glitched. I don't know how long we were out for but it apparently was enough for the entire town of Ponyville to start glitching rapidly. The paved road was now glitching like crazy. You could even say that it was the floor is lava but it was for real.
The buildings were beginning to glitch as well. I first noticed the white and blue colored building that looked like a carrousel was the first to glitch, next to that was the tree library Miles mentioned to me once before. I did overhear him once calling it and I quote "home of the book horse" even though I have no idea what that means. The last bigger building that I saw to get glitched was the one that looked to be some sort of bakery since it had this bakery look on the outside of it. Now that made me want to try there food, if I could ever have the chance to try the food again.
One by one, the entire town was being swallowed by this glitch and there was nothing the three of us could do to stop it yet. Don't even get me started on the ponies that began to glitch. I'll spare you some of the details but let's just say that it was sheer panic with ponies dropping like flies and getting consumed by the glitch. "Sweet Celestia!" Silver exclaimed with fear in her voice. "It's....horrible!" Diamond exclaimed with fear in her voice as well. "It's...perfect." I said as Diamond and Silver looked at me like I had lost my mind.
"What?" Diamond asked so out of the blue. "What I mean is that this might be the key to fixing this." I explained as Diamond and Silver were still looking at me like I had lost my mind. I rolled my eyes a little bit as I then began to explain my plan. "If Filthy sees this and sees that keeping me and Miles here won't fix anything, me might just let us go and things will be back to normal." "Worth a shot I guess. I know he has been one to make changes when things aren't going so well." Diamond said as the three of us headed towards the front doors to Diamond's mansion.
We approached the doors after a minute of walking and noticed that they were locked. "Well daddy did lock them earlier." I said. "Not to worry." Silver said as she took out the key she had on her and that was enough for the door to open. "There's always a way in." Silver said as she placed the key back into her bag as the three of us headed inside. It felt like forever since we were last in here when me and Diamond found out we were sisters.
I still couldn't believe it was just a few hours ago when it honestly felt like days. "So where do you think your daddy is at?" Silver asked. "I have no clue. I guess we should just look around?" Diamond said as we started to search around the mansion. We didn't find anything out of the ordinary on the first floor so we were going to head up to the second floor. We approached the stairs when a figure appeared on the top of the staircase.
"Well...I figured you three would show up at some point. That greedy pig could have installed some locks back there in the basement." Summit said as he blocked the staircase. "Summit! Where is Filthy?" I asked with anger in my voice. "I see. Well if you want to get to the master, you have to go through me!" Summit said as he jumped down to the first floor and pulled out some sort of staff. It had a black rod with a rainbow looking ball at the top of it and looked menacing.
"What has our daddy done to you?" Diamond asked with fear and anger in her voice. "Showed me that you need to be F̴̜͙̙͆́̎̓͜͝Ĩ̷͉̩̰X̵͍͓̑͗̓̓̏͗͠Ë̸͎̪́̇D̴͖̥͔͎͋̆͑̅̃ ̸̘̼̬͊̿͆͊T̴͓̠̣̱̜͓̉̃H̸̨̬̍͜I̵̛̥̮͈̊̈́̈Ṣ̴̨͓̊̒̈̾ͅ ̶̡͚̻̥͙͕́͛ͅḮ̷̱̺Ņ̷͎̯̑͘S̸̡̧̝̜͆͑͒̀̚T̶̖̣̪͆̚A̵̰̯̙͒̆̈́̊N̸͙̎̔̊Ţ̷͚͕̞̯͔͂̐͑̏͑!̵̹̺̰̥̀́̏̅͛͝" Summit said as he charged at the three of us with his spear. We all managed to block it fairly quickly but Summit was already preparing his next move, and it was towards me.
You would think I would be sad to see my cousin, my friend this way. Under some spell of Filthy's, trying to kill the there of us but at this point, I've been through so much that my tears don't pour anymore. It's like watching a movie/tv show and you get to a really sad moment in said movie/show. You get all sad about it, maybe shed some tears and then you move on after a day or so.
Then you watch that moment over and over again and it just doesn't have the same feeling anymore. You don't necessarily cry your eyes out every time so it kinds loses its meaning at that point. Case in point, that's how I felt when I saw Miles/Summit, whatever he's called now. I was already so use to it that my tears just didn't pour. I just hope that I don't have any more sadness for a while since I don't know how much more I can take at this point. I would guess that's it's all downhill from here.
