Twilight's eyes snapped open. She found herself surrounded by darkness. She lit her horn in an attempt to illuminate the area around her.
"Hello?" Twilight called out, but simply got her own query in reply as her voice bounced around the cavern. She got up and started to walk around. "Is anyone there?"
"Twilight? Where are you?" Church groaned.
"I'm over here." Twilight called back.
"As much as I appreciate you answering me I'm afraid it doesn't help my current situation seeing as it's pitch black..."
Twilight channeled more magic into her horn, finding Church on the far side of the room. The sudden light blinded Church, who shut his eyes against the abrupt intrusion. "Can you see now?"
"Yeah." Church said as he rubbed his eyes. "Just a little blind from the sudden flas-"
Church got caught off mid sentence due to him slamming his face in to the side of the cavern.
"Are you okay?" Twilight asked.
"I think so." Church muttered. "Where are we?"
Seemingly in response to his question, the crystal walls of the cave flashed green and an image of Cadance appeared in front of them.
"The fuck?" Church muttered.
"The caves beneath Canterlot." Boomed Cadance’s voice. “Once home to greedy unicorns who wanted to claim the gems that could be found inside, and now your prison.”
"Help!" Twilight yelled. "Help!"
"It's no use, no one can hear you. And no one will ever think to look here for you either. Most ponies have forgotten that these caves even exist which is why they are the ideal place to keep the ones who try to interfere with my plans." Cadance broke off in a maniacal laugh.
"Plans? What plans?"
"The plans I have for your brother of course." Cadance said simply, as if it should have been obvious.
"Don't you dare do anything to my brother you- you monster."
"Only way to stop me is to catch me." Cadance said as she started to laugh maniacally. Her image quickly skipped from one rock to the other. "Over here," it taunted.
Twilight shot a projectile at the last place she saw Cadance, but it reflected off of the surface of the cave and bounced around until it hit the ground, missing Church by a hair.
"Good to see I'm not the only terrible shot..." Church muttered under his breath.
"Nope, over here." Cadance taunted.
Twilight kept shooting surges of magic out of her horn, modifying the spell to shatter the stones that stuck out of the walls instead of bounce around. Church stared at her silently as he saw that she was out for blood now. Twilight shot at a large stone embedded in the wall and it splintered in to dozens of pieces, revealing Cadance sitting behind it. Twilight's pupils dilated and she charged at Cadance.
"No, wait!" Cadance yelled but Twilight tackled her to the ground. "Please don't hurt me. Twilight it's me! Please you have to believe me, I've been imprisoned like you. The Cadance who brought you down here is an imposter."
"Likely story." Twilight said, lowering her horn to Cadance.
"Twilight stop!" Church yelled.
"Not now Church." Twilight said.
"She's telling the truth." Church said, putting a hoof on her to push her off of Cadance.
"Don't tell me she's tricked you too." Twilight said quietly.
"Look at her, she is covered in bruises." Church pointed out.
"I'll need more proof than a few bruises."
"Sunshine, sunshine, ladybugs awake." Cadance said as she lowered herself to the ground. "Clap your hooves-"
"And do a little shake." Twilight and Cadance said in unison.
Cadance smiled at Twilight as the unicorn threw herself over her old friend.
"You remember me!"
"Of course I do. How could I forget the filly I loved to sit for the most?"
A green flash came from the opposite side of the cave and Church looked at Twilight and Cadance.
"I don't mean to break up this little reunion or anything, but I think we should get out of here." Church coughed.
Cadance broke off from Twilight and nodded.
"He's right." Twilight agreed. "We have to stop her."
They started to run down a path towards where the white light came from, when out of nowhere Cadance began to sing.
"This day was going to be perfect.
The kind of day of which I dreamed since I was small.
But instead of having cake,
With all my friends to celebrate,
My wedding bells will not ring for me at all."
"Is this really necessary?" Church asked. The girls simply ignored him.
"We must escape,
before it's too late,
Find a way to save the day.
Hope?
I'll be lying if I say,
I don't fear that I may lose him,
To one who wants to use him,
Not care for love and cherish him each day."
Cadance noticed a minecart on a long track that spiraled down into the darkness. She tried to start it, but it would not budge while she continued singing.
"For I oh-so love the groom,
All my thoughts he-"
"Stop with the damn singing." Church barked, having endured enough of the sappiness. "Save it for when we're out of here."
Cadance opened her mouth to argue.
"No, just no. Stop singing and get in the fucking cart." Church grunted.
Cadance shared a glance with Twilight who stared at Church silently. Cadance nodded and jumped in the cart. Church nodded to Twilight who jumped in with Cadance. Church kicked the rocks out of the way, bucked the cart and grabbed it as it started rolling down the track. As the spiral proceeded downwards, Church soon realized that the track had not been finished. Before they could do anything the cart broke through the sign and they started falling.
"What are we going to do?" Church asked.
Cadance jumped out of the cart with Twilight and spread her wings, leaving Church in the cart. Cadance and Twilight landed on a level area while Church kept falling.
"For the love of-" Church muttered.
Church jumped out of the cart and grabbed on to the side of the cavern and slowly started to climb up. He got to the top and glared at Cadance.
"Couldn't have warned me, huh?"
"We need to get out of here." Cadance said, ignoring Church while she put her ear up to the wall. "Oh no, they're starting."
Inside the wedding hall, the girls were standing on one side of the carpet, while the guys were standing on the other.
"Where's Church?" Simmons asked.
"I don't know, last I saw him is when he left with Twilight's brother." Tucker said.
"Maybe he is playing hide and seek." Caboose suggested.
"Mares and gentlecolts, we are gathered here today to witness the union of Princess Mi Amore Cadenza and Shining Armor." Celestia said happily.
"Oh, we're never going to save him." Cadance said, defeated as she heard the ceremony starting. She slumped up against the wall and sniffled.
"We will, we just have to find-" Twilight started. She stopped as a white light shone above her. "There!"
Twilight teleported the three of them up to the light. Church looked around for a brief moment and let out a deep groan.
"What is it Church?"
"Oh it's nothing." Church said sarcastically. "I was just thinking that you could have done that at the start and brought us to the wedding hall. You know, it would have just saved five minutes of our lives and we could have been on our way by now."
"You're not going anywhere." Said the three bridesmaids as they walked out from the shadows.
"If it isn't one thing, it's another, isn't it?"
I love how you made fun of the music numbers!
How come I now have the feeling that the reception is going to have Church singing "I am the Best" instead of Twilight?
I agree with Church on two points:
1. Save the song until after you're free.
2. Why didn't she teleport right after she found Cadance?

"I fucking hate my teammates,
Take a look at Tucker,
He is one arrogant fucker.
He thinks he is so great.
And then there is Caboose
Who is a stupid and oblivious,
As well as fucking mischievous,
Who would live off apple juice.
Then there are those red assholes,
Their leader thinks he is so smart,
When he is actually a retard,
And he's supposed to represent his team as a whole?
Second there is Grif,
He is also a lazy fuckhead,
Oh how much I wished he was dead,
When he fell off of that cliff.
Then there is Simmons who is also red,
There's not much to say about him,
Except he'd kiss Sarge's ass on a whim,
How I wish all of them were dead!"
When I was watching the cave scene, I was thinking 'Why don't you stop singing and try to get out of the cave, oh, look, a cart... Oh great, it took you even lower down, I thought you wanted to go up?'
Then they were all fine
When will this be finished today or tomorrow or tuesday?
485292
Probably tomorrow but maybe tonight.
"Of course I do. How could I forget the fully I loved to sit for the most." I'm guessing you meant "filly" there?
485305
sshhhhhh
485295 oh and i mean the wedding portion not the whole fic and my bed times at 9:30pm EST soo i probably won't be able to see the wedding part finished tonight
485311
Oh, was that supposed to be a secret? Sorry.
His mind shall be full of fuck when he figures out how to get past the mares
Still doing the weekend Truckin,
Great progress, Keeps me from getting bored.
It really bugged me that Twilight didn't teleport straight into the wedding with Candace at first, but then someone pointed out that it's probably line of sight only.
485383
In other episodes she has teleported to places that were out of her line of sight though.
485271 Red vs Blue: The musical Gulch chronicles
GODSPEED! These updates are coming in faster than I can read them!
Stop. I'm trying to go to sleep but you keep updating and I keep reading
BTW Lol at Church making fun of the musicals
SO MUCH UPDATING!
Just gets DEEPER
485388 The reason is that the caves reflect magic, so she can't teleport out of the caves. If she knew her way around the caves, she might be able to line up an epic teleport, but she obviously doesn't as noone uses the caves.
485305 FINALLY! Someone says something. We've been laughing at the sleep-deprived mistakes this guy has in his writing, and noone ever says anything
and this is why i love this story! you get to point out all the flaws in their plans.
487484
If the cave reflects magic then how did Twilight end up smashing parts fo the cave to pieces?
485271
LOL XD
*Eye twitches* Alright, now look here, Church! I can see you making fun of the BBBFF song, I can EVEN see you making fun of most of the other songs, but you do NOT fuck with The Villain Song! dl.dropbox.com/u/31471793/FiMFiction/Mr_Cake.png e.deviantart.com/emoticons/moods/anger.gif

Okay, now I'm certain, you need to write an RvB musical. Then go on /collab/ on ponychan or something and get some dudes to sing with you. I will reward you any money I have left over after pre-ordering Halo 4 Limited Edition from Gamestop.

"This Day Aria" by chance?
I actually prefer people who say the song's name instead of "the bad guy/evil song."
I just realized how Church's sniper will come into play
Oh boy. I hope... just hope... Caboose... O'Maley... Changelings... fighting... stuff...
Enough! Must read...
485193 Holy fuck that's amazing. You sir have become a legend for three whole minutes. You get an extra two for adding NPH.
[youtube=YOU NEED TO SHUT THE FUCK UP] and help me move the cart
Pig.
1. Someone finally said something to Twilight about teleporting places.

2235919 Maybe she has to be looking at the place she wants to teleport to?

the Canon disproved this in the third episode(the ticket one), when she teleported to the tree from the alley.
