//------------------------------// // Chapter Nine - Pinkie Sense Does a Lot // Story: We're Sisters!!!! // by PixelMoon //------------------------------// Rainbow was slowly transforming into a pony everypony would soon fear. Right along with her family. Princess Celestia and Luna, the most beloved ponies in Equestria; evil. She sighed, and did the only thing she could do: she just sat there. The guards were obviously brainwashed, and Cadance and Shining were long gone. 'How I wish my friends were here. And Twilight. I wish none of this happened. I bet they're all enjoying themselves to the Royal Tab.' The shadows were creating upon Dash's face, as the already transformed ponies just watched. Twilight trotted up to her sister, attempting to hug her. Dash slapped the hoof away with what was left of her good mind. Twilight didn't stop trying, however. The alicorn managed to get a hug, which made Dash do the only thing that made sense. She screamed bloody murder. The mane five had just finished unpacking for their week's stay when Pinkie suddenly starting shaking visibly, her body doing several random motions. "Pinkie! Are you alright, sugarcube?" Applejack asked worryingly. She trotted up to the franticly moving earth pony. "I-i-i d-d-do-don't k-kn-know!" she shuddered. The pink pony was vibrating in her whole body, eyelashes fluddering and tail shaking. "T-th-this is a-a-a ne-new on-one!" "Oh dear, what does it mean? Do you have any idea? That is if you don't mind me asking." Fluttershy mumbled. "Uh... Uh..." Pinkie continued vibrating and shaking everywhere. Some part of her mind was telling her that so etching wasn't right at the Crystal Empire. But that was where Twilight and Rainbow Dash were. It should be safe. Something clicked in Pinkie's brain. They failed. Twilight, Rainbow, Celestia and Luna failed. Starlight had them. "No..." she whispered, swallowing back her tears. Everypony stared at their pink friend with clear concern, trotting over to comfort her. Applejack placed a hoof on Pinkie's back. "What's this 'bout, sugarcube? This is a new Pinkie Sense feelin', ain't it?" Pinkie nodded and wiped her tears. "Don't worry guys, I just had a slight feeling that Starlight Flames won." Everypony stopped what they were doing and stared. One by one all of their jaws dropped in complete shock. Rarity grabbed Pinkie by the shoulders and started to shake her like a magical 8 ball. "That can't be true! Princess Celestia, Luna, Twilight and Rainbow Dash are the most powerful poniesmin Equestria! They couldn't have been defeated!" "But... Pinkie Sense is never wrong," Fluttershy whispered from the comfort of Applejack. She was shaking, a few tears even were shed at the thought her oldest friend might have been killed or thrown in a dungeon. Everypony immediately got quiet, as if mourning for their friends, even though they didn't even know if the princesses were dead. Applejack stroked Fluttershy mane as she cried softly, while Rarity and Pinkie laid on each other. Sniffles and mini hiccups were the only thing that threatened silence at that time. Rarity suddenly levitated a piece of parchment and a quill with some ink. Everypony shifted their gazes upon the paper, as well as the unicorn as she jotted words down. The white made then rang the service belle after wrapping the paper in an envelope. A few moments later a guard came in. "Please deliver this to the Equal Village immediately. It is very urgent and involves the princesses," Rarity spoke with a solid tone, not allowing her voice to slip once. The guard didn't seem to take Rarity's urgency seriously until she mentioned the princesses. This guard obviously knew about Princess Celestia, Luna, Twilight and Dash going on their trip. He also clearly a summed the worst. The guard saluted and was on his way, running as if Equestria depended on it. But in this case, Equestria did, as a matter of fact, depend on how fast the letter got to the Equal Village. Rarity had fully gotten up off the ground, and was appeared to be thinking. Pinkie got up too, as well as a reluctant Fluttershy amd Applejack. They quickly ran over to their unicorn friend for answers. "Girls, I'm just trying to take charge. I will admit I've had a little crush on Twilight for a while, and ended up spending more time with her than usual. I'm just thinking what she'd do. Now listen, that letter is heading to Starlight's old village since Starlight is taking a vacation with Sunburst and Flurry Heart, Trixie, and Tempest," Rarity stated and explained. "Now, let's create a plan together." A few hours later in a different place, the Royal Guard made its arrival. Sugarbelle and her special somepony peeked behind the bakery that they had hid in to do certain stuff. The guard must've seen them, because the few guards trotted over and asked where Starlight Glimmer was. Big Mac pointed at the inside of a shoppe across the street. Sure enough, Starlight and her squad were inside a café, not the bakery though. Everypony got quiet as soon a s the doors were kicked open. "Where is Starlight Glimmer!?" a bold stallion voice called. Starlight gulped and slowly rose her hoof. He gave the letter to her, allowed the Unicron to read it, before rushing her friends into their transportation. Tempest was stilled eyed by the guard, but they understood her importance. Meanwhile at the Crystal Empire, Rainbow Dash had fully transformed. She slowly got up with a sinister smile, a pair of fangs poking through her lips. Starlight cackled. "There's truly no hope for Equestria. The most powerful ponies are now mine! Love nor friendship can be used!" "Now this is true chaos! Dearie, tell me, are you just a stepping stone helping me take back the throne?!"
