Twilight and the gang had just meet back up at Town Hall nopony had found a trace of the colt. It was like he just vanished into thin air. As they thought about what to do next, Rarity remembered that she hadn't seen her sister or her little friends.
"Has anypony seen Sweetie Bell, Apple Bloom, or Scootaloo? I'm don't know why darlings, but I just had a bad feeling that something has happen to them." Said Rarity looking around.
"I've got the same feeling but ah know them girls there just having fun is all. You know them, can't hold still longer than a Junebug in spring." Said Apple Jack tilting her hat.
"I know what you mean AJ, Scoot's scooter is at my house in two pieces. She crashed it a little bit ago. So I let her put it up in my house. I told her I'd help her fix it later and make it look awesome. She said that they were going to the lake. I could fly over there and check up on them." Said Rainbow Dash
"Ok Rainbow, Rarity, Apple Jack, you three go see about the girls. Pinkie Pie, Fluttershy and me will look around town some more. If anypony see's that colt don't make contact with him. He still has his sword and might be dangerous. Does everypony understand what to do?" Said Twilight.
"Yes." Said her friends in unison.
~~~ On the road from the Lake to Ponyville
The little fillies with Shadow Blade was going to Carlisle Boteace. As the four walk along the Crusader stared asking Blade Questions about his close and why he know so much about ninjas. As he answered these questions he jumped back into the shadow of a tree as a rainbow mane mare flew over head.
"Why are you hiding? Its just Rainbow Dash, she's cool and the fastest flyer of all times." Said Scootaloo with stars in her eyes.
"Is she part of the Cloud Clan?" Said Shadow Blade with his sword in his magic grip but not out of its sheath.
"What's tha... Nevermind no she's not. She's like my big sister so theres no need to hind."
Rainbow pasted over she seen the fillies and doubled back as she did she seen the colt and dive between them. Not knowing if he would hurt a filly or her she didn't want to find out.
"That's far enough, if you don't mind there pal. You better not have laid one hoof on these girls if you know what's good for you." Rainbow hissed.
"Why would I? The young know little of the world and are just happier not knowing, but before you go and think evil of me ask them why I'm with them." Shadow taking a few steps out of the shadows of the trees. "And why one is still with breathing."
Rainbow turned just so she could keep one eye on him and looked back at the girls. "What th hay is he talking about?"
"I fell in the lake and almost drowned and he saved me." Said Sweetie as she looked down at the ground at her hooves. "We were in a boat rowing out in the lake and my life-jacket wasn't as good as it should have been. So it was taking on water and pulling me down under the water."
"Ya and he just ran over the water and grabbed her and pulled her to shore. Then scold us for not having anypony there to watch over us when we were out on the lake." Add Scootaloo.
"There you go. The young one there was just wanting to repay me for saving her in her time of need. She told me that her sister would gladly make me something for saving her. I can't refuse it. " He walked up to Dash and whispered in her ear. 'I think if I did she would talk me into it until she was blue in the muzzle.'
Rainbow turned and laugh at this. For all she knew he was right. That little filly could talk Rarity in to anything she want to do and almost always get her way. "Okay then you three go to Rarity's. She is was worried about you, as for you..."
"Please call me Shadow." Asked Shadow Blade.
Rainbow gave him a blank stare. "Shadow.... Kind of a funny name you got there but ok. You need to come with me. Twilight wants to talk with you.''
"Twilight? She she the leader of your clan?" He asked as the fillies pasted him.
"In some way. She's a princess and she's one of the nicest ponies ya'll meet other then Fluttershy." Said Apple Bloom then turned and head off with the her other two friends.
Shadow Blade smiled at her and turned to Rainbow Dash. "Okay then I'll go with you to see your princess, but can you tell me where we're going."
"Its the crystal caesl in town can't miss it." Said Dash abit confused. "Why do you ask?"
"I want to you. I seen you flying and your pretty fast up in the air but are you faster than me running down here on the ground? I just want to know is all."
"A race? How do I know you're not going to just run off?" Snapped Rainbow.
"Here I'll give you this." He pulled out an amulet with a green dragon eye gem in it. "This is very precious to me. It was my father's and my grandfather's before that. Its been passed down for years in my family. I'll give it to you just to show I'll not run away but to where ever you going."
Rainbow look at the amulet and put it on. "Okay you got a race. But you better go straight there or I'll track you down and shove this down your muzzle got it."
Shadow smiled and dug his hooves in the ground. "Deal. Lets race."
Dash counted down from three and off they went. Dash in the air and Shadow on hoof.
