Chapter 8 May the Search Begin Princess Celestia... Gone! For Me! Raider Ponyvile "See you later Applejack it was nice meeting you!" Pinky Pie bounced off leaving Ponyvile heading back to her family's farm way, way out in the mountains. Applejack sighed loudly. "Finally sheesh I thought that pony would never shut up!" Suddenly a blur flew past Applejack crashing into a fountain. Rainbow Dash lied upside down clutching a basket full of delicious combinations of food, her head spun she was seeing stars. "Whoa! I feel dizzy!" Applejack approached Rainbow Dash with caution. "Umm... Are y'all OK?" Rainbow Dash quickly bounced up to her hooves. "What? Who me? I'm fine! Ow!" Rainbow Dash rubbed her aching head. "Could've fooled me!" muttered Applejack. Rainbow Dash looked over to Applejack as she rubbed her aching head. "Uh! My name is Rainbow Dash!" Applejack giggled loudly. "More like Rainbow Crash!" Rainbow Dash's face lit up red then suddenly a basket full of yummy foods collided with Applejack's face. "Aw wait a second Rainbow Cra...Dash come back here Ahm sorry." Rainbow Dash was already gone, she soared off into the night. "Darn it!" Applejack looked down to the basket Rainbow Dash had thrown at her. "Hey Ah need some of these supplies, Ahm sure she wouldn't mind if Ah borrowed a few of these for a bit." Applejack quickly turned and ran off towards sweet apple acres it was bad enough she'd been out for hours. "Granny smith is probably worried sick! Ah gotta really put it into gear and get on moving." Applejack looked up to the rising moon sitting high in the sky. "The moon sure has been up for a while Big Mac is gonna be furious for me being out all this time." Applejack thought of Rainbow Dash she starred down to the ground out of regret as she headed home. Canterlot 'Knock! Knock!' Twilight banged on the Princess's door hoping for a response. "Princess Celestia can I come in please, I really need your help with something... kinda personal." Twilight gently pushed the door open and quietly walked inside the Princess's room. "Umm... Hello! Princess Celestia... Are you here?" A gentle calm breeze blew in through the opened doors leading to the balcony. "This place is a big mess I can't believe the Princess would leave it like this. All these books and papers scattered everywhere you'd think something happened." Twilight's eyes widened in fear. "Oh No! What if!" Twilight suddenly and quickly ran screaming out of Celestia's room. "Some pony, any pony help me please, help me!" Almost instantly three guards ran around the corner from what seemed like out of nowhere to meet Twilight. "Hey you little filly what's going on here?" The three guards starred angrily at Twilight with an annoyed look on there faces as they awaited her response. "Umm... There was a umm... the Princess she's agh... Celestia is umm... The Princess... Princess Celestia is Missing!" The three guards starred at Twilight with wide eyes trying to take her seriously, but it was really hard considering her size and aged. "...Well Twilight we'll just see about that." The center pony nodded to the ponies to his left and right. "Quickly you two spread out search the castle, I will search the Princess's room, then if I don't find her then I'll search all around the castle as well, we will meet back here in fifteen minutes, move out!" Twilight fell back on the ground feeling totally relieved knowing that she'd told others about the Princess. "Oh Princess I hope your alright! Wherever you are?" Twilight sighed loudly a loud sigh of relief. Moonlight shinned through the windows surrounding and illuminating Twilight. Sweet Apple Acres Applejack ran straight into her farmhouse searching for Granny. "Ah at last!" Applejack approached Granny from behind finally. 'snore' 'snore' However she heard snores, loud snores. "Granny smith wake up, wake up Ah got the things you asked for." Suddenly Granny swung a frying pan at Applejack who narrowly avoided it by diving into the floor. "Ahwaha! Who's there stay away from my jars!" Granny starred down to applejack cowering in fear on the floor. "Oh it's just you Applejack, Why are you down there in the floor? Also do you got my things!" Applejack sat up slowly holding a bag in her mouth she trembled cause she was almost stricken down. "Umm... Don't ask! I got your whatever it is!" Applejack slowly handed the bag to Granny as her hooves shivered. "Granny Ahm gonna hit the hay so... Goodnight!" "Alright Applejack, I'll be sure to save you some zap apple jam for you when you wake up." Applejack trotted towards the staircase. "Thanks Granny Ah can't wait!" Meanwhile Big Mac was outside still wrestling with the bees fighting for there honey. Applejack walked into her room and fell into her bed feeling the soft plushness of her covers. "Ahh! So soft! Emm..." Outside Equestria The heat from the sun was beating down onto Don as wildlife gathered all around. Don had been lying inside a very small crater he had created just before losing his consciousness, the ground was very soft and mushy in the crater so he didn't take much damage from the Don was still bleeding heavily, the ground was soaked in his blood. A familiar soft voice began echoing around Don as he lied in the bloody dirt. "Get up. get up, Don get up!" Don's eyes suddenly burst opened he immediately coughed up blood when feeling the pain course through his body and the heat from the sun sure as sugar wasn't helping his condition. Several of the wild animals that had gathered around quickly scattered as Don got up to one knee blood ran down his chest. "Where am I? What am I doing here? Ahh! I do not have time to be pondering my whereabouts. I need to heal this wound, but I'm not sure if I can... I feel... so... weak." Don fell back on his back his arms spread as he breathed heavily. "I can't move, I'm so hungry, I'm so exhausted, and this pain when did it even happen? That's it I give up, just kill me!" Suddenly I felt something nudging at my jacket, I managed to turn my head to see a whittle squirrel holding up a beautiful ripe big red apple. I sat up instantly my jaws hit the ground, I pointed to myself. "For me?" I reached for the apple the second I got it in my hands, I devoured it all in one swift bite. 'burp!' "More please!" After I said that more of the animals gathered food for me soon enough I had bananas, berries, pears, grapes, oranges, apples even a few cherries that I was delighted to see. I starred down to all of the food around me so appetizing. "Emm..." I chowed down on all of the delicious fruits I felt my strength stamina and magic return to me with every single bite I took. I could see the eyes of the animals widen cause I just swallowed all of that food they worked so hard to gather for me. Once I felt some of my power return I quickly pressed my hands against my chest. The gash on my chest sparkled and glowed all of the flowing blood stopped the wound began closing, the pain subsided as I took a deep breath. The healing process was painful, but necessary if I didn't heal myself I would've surely died eventually. "Hey I'd rather die later, than sooner!" Don stood up tall feeling almost completely restored, but somehow still tired. I slowly rose into the air waving goodbye to the friendly animals. "I need to find a bed, a permanent bed cause all of this traveling is beginning to get annoying..." Suddenly I picked uo on the lack of here presence. "Wait! What the hell just happened!" I quickly looked around in all directions my eyes darted all over the sky. "I...I just lost her, I c..can't feel Princess Celestia's presence anymore could she have..." Don shook his head clearing his mind. "No... I refuse to believe that!" Canterlot Twilight laid on the plush carpet in the hallway awaiting the return of the guards. Instantly twelve guards appeared surrounding Twilight each of the looking all serious and ready for battle. Twilight sat up quickly. "Did you find her? huh, huh huh?" "Well... Twilight Sparkle it would seem we misjudged you, we need to ask you a few question about the Princess before we begin." Twilight stood up on all fours looking up to the tall and intimidating guardians. "Sure! What? Anything you need just ask me, if it'll help find the Princess." "Twilight the last time you met with the Princess, was she acting strange did she leave any indication that something could go wrong at any point in the future." Twilight scratched her head in confusion. "Well... Umm... No... Not really she seemed fine, the last time I saw her was when we were training last. She seemed to have something on her mind though I didn't know what, it kept her preoccupied enough to leave me alone in a hedge maze, uhhoa scary!" The tallest and most brutal looking guardian rubbed his head. "Preoccupied... Hmm, but by what or better question who? Twilight Sparkle we've been getting strange reports of a terrible monster that first appeared two days ago in the center of Canterlot Square. The monster was said to be wearing strange clothing and had a hideous figure, it was reported terrorizing the towns ponys. We've also had reports of that thing flying around the castle it might've abducted the Princess." Twilight suddenly panicked and ran circles around the guardians. "What a monster! Ahhh!" Twilight hid behind three of the guards. "Twilight take it easy you are surrounded by royal guards nothings gonna happen certainly not here in the center of the royal palace, but I as the Head of the Royal Guard have decided to place you Twilight Sparkle under Security Watch until the Princess is found and this situation dies down." Twilight raised her head to the head of the royal guard. "So... Your... Gonna protect me!" Twilight asked in a frightened tone. The captain of the royal guard looked down to her. "Yes Twilight Sparkle with my life I'd sacrifice for you, my name is Raider." Suddenly one of the guards approached Raider. "But sir what if we need you in the field, you won't do any good standing around protecting some filly." Raider raised his voice causing the castle to shake. "Silence! It is my job. No my sworn duty to Protect Canterlot and I might as well Protect Twilight around the clock with Canterlot I must stay you all must go and fight if necessary." Raider lined up his forces. "Now listen some pony go quickly contact the Wonderbolts tell them to search the skies scouter across Equestria. The rest of you search the grounds of Canterlot and if nothing's found search further all the way to the EverFree Forest and beyond if necessary. Assure yourselves that you do not stray to far beyond the borders of Equestria that is only enemy territory out there so watch yourselves." Raider stopped standing before his guards. "Whoever Kidnapped Princess Celestia will pay... Dearly for there insolence. Besides they couldn't have gotten far, not if they got the Princess I wouldn't be surprised if we heard from her anytime now. Regardless we must search now every pony spread out go complete your assignments." Raider slammed his hooves into the ground. Instantly all of guards vanished into thin air leaving Raider and Twilight alone. "Twilight what exactly is the Princess teaching you?" Twilight smiled widely. "Oh well lots of really cool stuff, do you wanna see?" Raider tilted his head back stretching his neck. "Sure why not, I suppose I have a few moments to spare." Twilight trotted for the exit. "Raider we need to go outside, I can't do these spells inside, I might hurt somepony." Raider chuckled as he slowly approached Twilight. "I wouldn't let that happen, however I could use some fresh air." Cloudsdale Rainbow Dash laid on her cloud relaxing about to fall into a wonderful night of peaceful sleep. That is until the Wonderbolts blasted off like a rocket they blew past Rainbow Dash's cloud in quite a hurry. The force of there pure speed sent Rainbow Dash hurdling off her cloud spiraling down to the ground. Rainbow Dash wasn't prepared she still seemed asleep she tried to spread her wings and fly, but she was too tired she was going to crash! "Aggghhh!" Rainbow Dash screamed the whole way down tears ran down her face not wanting it to end like this, amazing she had the energy to scream at the top of her lungs but but not to fly. The ground neared Rainbow Dash or rather Rainbow Dash neared the ground, it wasn't looking to inviting either she quickly closed her eyes in fear of her imminent fate. Rainbow Dash continued to scream even though the wind wasn't hitting her in the face anymore. "What the heck! Am I... Am I dead? I don't wanna be dead, I never even got a chance to try out for the Wonderbolts, it's not fare!" Rainbow Dash complained as she crisscrossed her hooves not wanting to open her eyes. "What's not fare? I just saved you didn't I? Of course it was my fault you fell off your cloud in the first place, I guess I was moving really fast though." Rainbow slowly opened her eyes only to be totally blown away instantly she was filled with memorization at the sight of Spitfire Captain of the Wonderbolts was the one who'd saved her life. Spitfire starred at Rainbow Dash who's eyes began to water, Spitfire felt this somewhat familiarity towards Rainbow Dash. "Your...Your...Your...Your!" Rainbow Dash was stuck in a stutter, "Yes! I'm Spitfire captain of the Wonderbolts, listen I'm really sorry little filly, but I really gotta go I have something urgent to attend to." Spitfire carried Rainbow Dash in her arms back up top her cloud she dropped Rainbow Dash off. "Umm... Well see you later then!" Rainbow Dash continued her stutter. "Your...Your...Your...Your!" She took a deep breath. "TOTALLY AWESOME!" Rainbow Dash screamed at the top of her lungs once again. "THANK YOU!" Rainbow Dash was so edged up she couldn't even think of sleep she flew circles around Cloudsdale filled with excitement she'd just met the Captain of the Wonderbolts, her hero! "!" Rainbow Dash dashed around Cloudsdale at top speed causing heavy winds to suddenly appear and fall down towards Ponyvile. Rainbow Dash looked down to the rapidly increasing in speed, mini tornado that was slowly descending upon Ponyvile. "Oopsie... Did I do that?" Rainbow Dash scratched her head. Canterlot About fifteen guards charged out of Canterlot gates at top speeds looking fierce frightening intimidating and ready for battle nothing would stand in there way. Meanwhile a small fleet of the Wonderbolts soared through the air searching for any clues to the whereabouts of Princess Celestia and if possible the Princess herself. "OK everypony we are going to split up!" Spitfire turned to a light bluish pegasus barely flying in the air. "Soarin remember take it easy you just got out of the hospital a few days ago!" Soarin sighed heavily getting annoyed with Spitfire's constant nagging. "You really shouldn't be with us you should be resting and staying off that wing of yours." Soarin flew over to Spitfire. "Oh! Spitfire you worry too much, I'll be... Fine nothing's gonna stop me I'll be the one to find the Princess too, you'll see." Spitfire sighed. "I hope so, say Soarin after this what do you say I treat you to some nice blueberry pie my sister sure does make a mean blueberry pie." One of the other Wonderbolts coughed making there presence rudely known. "Captain we really don't have time for this idol chit chat we have to hurry." Spitfire sighed again in annoyance. "Right... OK! Every pony break away now... GO!" The five Wonderbolts split up each was on there own, unfortunately Soarin wasn't looking too hot he wasn't flying straight either. Spitifre seemed really worried about him. It's a good thing some pony cares. Outside Equestria "No! I refuse... To... Believe Celestia could be beaten so easily, I still can't detect her magic or energy so what does that mean? I hope your OK! I can't go back into Equestria because the mare in the moon will stare into my soul again and try to choke me to death." Don suddenly stopped for a brief chuckle. 'Seriously... That sure was strange I didn't feel that way before all of the other times I starred blankly into the moon." "But that cold stare was so frightening, it was like it was right in front of me!" I ascended into the air I looked up to the descending sun in the distance I noticed it wasn't moving, I wondered why? "It doesn't matter once the day ends here, I'll return to Equestria and search for Celestia I know she still is... I can feel her presence, but just barely." I flew through the air, I figured I might as well search the areas around me, I sure had plenty of time on my hands. The suns rays of light and waves of heat weren't helping my confidence in my current situation. After a few moments of squinting my eyes. "I think I see something? Yeah! I do what is that?" Something was flying towards me at a rapidly increasing speed, I could see it off in the distance. The overwhelming brightness of the sun had masked it's presence up until this point. "It looks like whatever it is, is looking for a fight well... I'll be sure to deliver I wouldn't want to be a bad house guest, now would I." Finally after a few minutes of tearing across the sky. I finally reached my destination only to find a gigantic angry fire breathing dragon, although something about him seemed unnatural somehow it wasn't a normal dragon, I knew that for sure. "Now that's a real Dragon alright, just look at those amazingly frighteningly sharp scales, to those incredibly long and pointy claws, to that spiked reckoning ball tail, very intimidating." I asked myself. "Why couldn't I've just died back in that crater!" Don readied himself for battle as the Dragon starred him down looking anxious to finally see him. End of Chapter 8
