At the Castle Room:
Twilight is passing around wondering where Sakura is. Sakura has been gone for hours and Twilight is getting worried about her. Back in Japan she's never gone for very long even when she is with her old friends and now Twilight is starting to fear that something may have happen to her.
Everyone else is waiting for Sakura as well and can tell that she wasn't back yet and are starting to get worried as well. What's worse the race will be starting tomorrow morning.
"Man where is Sakura, she's been gone for hours," Ace says freaking out.
"It's not like her to be gone this long and she is only talking to somepony else," Twilight says worried and passing around the room.
Rarity is worried for Sakura as well, but she is more concern about Twilight. She decide to go to Twilight and says, "Don't worry Twilight I'm sure she will be alright,"
"I hope so," Twilight says still worried for her daughter.
"I think we should go look for her," Ruby suggests.
"I think so too," Baked Apple agrees.
"Me too," Raspberry says while laying on the bed.
"Okay, Baked Apple, Apple Eden, Dragon Ruby, Raspberry Pie and I will go find find Sakura, while the rest of you stay here incase she comes back before we do," Ace instruct everyone in the room.
"Right!" Everyone says agree to Ace's orders.
"But Ace what if we can't find her before the race," Eden ask.
"Yeah you train so hard for it," Baked Apple replies.
"Sakura is more important that a race, there's always will be other races but there isn't another Sakura especially after what she's trying to do for me," Ace says determine to lose his opportunity to race to find his friend after the way she is trying to clear his name.
With that Ace and the others begin to search for their friend, while everyone else stays in the room for Sakura to come back.
After they left Rainbow start to feel touch by her son's word. He is willing to give up his chances for being in the race for a friend, no doubt about it he is just as loyal as his mother is. Now she hope that he can find his friend before something bad happens to her.
In a big Cave outside of Canterlot:
Sakura is waking up after being hit on the head. When she wakes up, she feels a sharp pain on her head and notices something really off about her body…. she can't seems to move it.
When she gets a closer look at her body she can see that her wrist, wings, and legs are tied up, she has a metal ball shackled to her ankle. she tries to use her magic but somehow she can't, she is glad she is able to move her arms since her wrist are tied at the front of her chest and can feel that her horn has a strange ring on it and can't get it off, somehow this ring is able to make sure of one thing, Sakura can't use her magic, at all. She can also see that she is inside a cage which is inside a cave somewhere.
Sakura knows one thing someone tied her up and put her in this hole so that no one can find her.
Just then someone comes inside the cage and says, "Well I can see you enjoy my little surprise." The voice reveal to be Fast Swift the racer and disappeared
"Fast Swift?" Sakura replies with a big shock.
"Yes and I hope you don't feel to sad about the letter," Fast Swift says deviously.
After hearing that, Sakura now fully understand what is going on and finally solved the mystery to this whole mess. She then says angrily, "So you send me that letter and not Storm."
Fast Swift leave an evil grin on her face and says, "That's right, you were starting to get the idea what is going on, so I thought it will be a good idea to get you out of the way for a while."
"Now I get, you planted Ace's hair to make him look guilty and trashed your own room so the guests will assume there was a break in and a struggle." Sakura says with confidence about this what happen in the scene of the crime.
"That's correct," Fast Swift says deviously.
"Not only that, your career is a bi conspiracy, you been blackmailing the competition," Sakura says with angry look in her eyes.
"My aren't you a good detective, to bad you won't be around to tell anyone about it, at least till the race is over," Fast Swift says evilly. Then he uses the keys he have to open the cage and makes his way towards Sakura.
Sakura doesn't know what is going on and she doesn't like that face that Fast Swift is making an evil look on his face carrying some rope and a cloth, "What are you…." Sakura tries to ask but gets interrupted when Fast Swift but a cloth over her mouth to keep her from talking, and use the extra rope to secure her arms more.
After making sure Sakura is secure, Fast Swift leaves the cage and makes sure to lock the door so she can't get out.
"Now if you excuse me I off to the castle to make sure your friend is out of the race, for good. So long little princess," Fast Swift says evilly. Then starts to make his way to the castle.
All Sakura can do is watch and struggle to get herself free. Right now she wishes her friends are here. However thanks to that letter, she has no idea where she is taken to not even her friend knows where she is. And right now tears are falling down her face.
In the streets of Canterlot:
Baked Apple and the others are looking high and low for Sakura but they can't seem to find her anywhere in Canterlot. They regroup at the Doughnut shop to figure out what their next move to find their friend.
"Anything," Ace asks worried.
Everyone else in the group reply, but they saden and shook their heads meaning they didn't have any luck find her at all.
"Where can she be?" Ruby asks and more worried than before.
"I know, we looked all over Canterlot and she wasn't at the gate like the letter said, Baked Apple replies freaking out.
"She wasn't at the boutique," Ruby says.
"She wasn't at the race track," Ace replies.
"She wasn't at some of the restaurants," Raspberry says eating a doughnut.
"I don't understand, where can she be?" Eden ask in concern.
Just then Ace sees Storm along with Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon, with that Ace heads towards Storm to ask if he knows where Sakura might be.
"Storm!" Ace screams freaked out.
"Well, well, looks who it is? It's Areial Ace," Diamond Tiara says arrogantly.
Ace isn't in the mood to hear Diamond Tiara right now. He goes up to Storm and asks, "Storm do you know where Sakura is?"
"No why?" Storm questionably answers.
"Sakura got a letter from you saying that you wanted to meet her at the gates of Canterlot as soon as possible," Ace says.
"What? I didn't send her any letter," Storm answers with a shock.
"What? but she got a letter from you saying you needed to talk to her," Baked Apple says
"Not me I was with Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon exploring Canterlot, we were just heading back to the castle," Storm says. Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon simply nod their heads to confirm it.
"But if you didn't send her the letter than who did?" Ruby asks very worried right now.
"Are you sure none of you have seen her," Raspberry asks really scared right now.
"No," Diamond Tiara answers with concern.
"Not at all," Silver Spoon replies with a sad look on her face.
"Not since this afternoon," Storm says.
After hearing this, the gang are scared and worried about this. Now they realize that something is very wrong,"
"So what's going on and why are you looking so scared," Diamond Tiara asks really scared about the look on their face.
"Look we haven't seen Sakura since she left to the Canterlot entrance," Ace says in concern.
"And you just said you didn't wrote that letter, right Storm," Ruby adds worriedly looking at Storm.
"That's right," Storm simply answers.
"So if Storm didn't send the letter and no one has seen her around, then it possible to assume that something bad must have happen to her," Ace replies angrily.
Everyone in the group gasp fearing that Ace might be right about this.
"You… m-m-mean somepony lure Sakura to the gates t-t-to to…" Eden tries to say but so lost to think about that fact, that she is having trouble finding the words. Then Silver Spoon shouts out the answer.
"To get rid of her," Silver Spoon scaredly screams out the answer.
"I'm afraid so," Ace says worried and yet confident about this.
"But why?" Ruby asks scared.
"I don't know but we need to find her," Baked Apple says.
"But where? We looked all over Canterlot for her," Raspberry says screaming.
"If she isn't in Canterlot and if someone want to get rid of her then they will need to take her away from Canterlot," Ace suggests.
"I think you're right," Eden says agreeing to Ace's deduction.
"So what do we do," Diamond Tiara asks.
"Diamond Tiara, I need you, Silver Spoon and Storm to go to the castle to find Princess Celestia tell her what we think might happen to Sakura and ask her to send a few gard to the outskirts of Canterlot to find her," Ace gives the orders.
"Okay," Diamond Tiara says. With that She, Silver Spoon and Storm make their way to the castle to find the princesses.
"Meanwhile we'll head to the to the outskirt of Canterlot to see if we find Sakura," Ace adds to the others.
"Right," The group says.
"Okay let's go to the forest to see if we can find her," Ace replies with determination.
With that Ace that the others starts to make their way into the forest hoping to find Sakura.
At the Castle:
Twilight and the others are waiting for their children to return with Twilight's daughter in the throne room, but none of them showed up yet.
"Princess Celestia Princess Celestia," Diamond Tiara screams running to the throne in the throne room
"Diamond Tiara what are you doing here?" Rainbow asks confused.
"No time to ask where's the princess?"
"I'm right here," Celestia says as she is entering the throne room. With that everypony bow to her.
After that Diamond Tiara and her companions went up to the princess, "Princess we got a message for you from Aerial Ace," Silver Spoon says very scared about something.
"What is it," Celestia asks worried.
"Sugarcube what is going on here?" Applejack asks.
"Well for starter I didn't send that letter to Sakura about meeting her at the gates," Storm says.
"What?" Everyone screams with a shock. Twilight is starting to fear the worst for her eldest daughter.
"And what's worse no one has seen her at all, like she wasn't in Canterlot," Diamond Tiara says freaking out.
"So Ace beleive that someone wrote that face letter to lure Sakura in a trap so they can kidnap her," Silver Spoon screams completely scared.
Everypony in the room gasp finding out that might be the truth. Twilight goes pale because the fact that her daughter is kidnapped it the worst thing that could happen.
Then Storm says,"So Ace wanted us to ask you to send some guards in the forest since he suspect that the guilty party will take her to the forest outside of Canterlot."
"Alright," Celestia says. Then she turn to her two guards and says "I need you two along with 4 other guard to head to the forest to find Sakura," The guards salute her and make their way find other guards to help with the search.
After the guards left, Twilight starts crying fearing about her daughter, "Oh Sakura I knew I shouldn't let her go there alone."
Celestia know how much her children means to her so she decide to hug her with her hoofs and wing and says, "Don't worry Twilight we will find her."
"Yeah even if it will take us all night." Rainbow says hopping to support her.
Twilight is still concern about her daughter and wishes she'll be found really soon.
At the Cave where Sakura is locked up:
All Sakura can do is cry know that she is trapped in the cage and completely helpless at this point. Sakura wishes to be home with her friends, her pet phoenix, her brothers and sister, but most of all she wants to be with her mom.
Sakura has never been so sad and helpless in her life and wishes someone will come and save her from her imprisonment.
