"Please Don don't be..." Rainbow Dash sped up faster, faster than ever before. "You have to still be alive."

Rainbow Dash cut through the skies the forest wept as the moons light somehow seemed to guide Rainbow Dash to her destination.

It would seem the large amount of Mendacore's had finally gotten themselves together.

The Mendacore's howled loudly, there roars of pure pain and unhappiness frightening Rainbow Dash her wings trembled.

Rainbow Dash almost stopped flying and crashed to the ground. "No!" Her wings suddenly ceased trembling. "I have to keep going!" "Faster, faster... No matter what." Rainbow Dash tried to speed up. "Come on, I know I can go faster!"

But It seemed as if Rainbow Dash was only slowing down. "What's going on?" "Faster I said!" despite the confidence in her voice she didn't have the heart to back it up.

The Mendacore's continued to howl signaling there rage, they couldn't wait to get there hands on Rainbow Dash and tear her limb from limb.

Meanwhile in Colarine's Cabin she was busy packing when she heard the loud echoing howls of the forsaken ones.

"What in Equestria is going on outside!" Colarine stopped packing for a moment to walk outside.

She stood on the safety of her porch. "I hope Soarin and Spitfire got home alright, the forest sure is lively tonight."

As Colarine turned around to go back inside she noticed something out of the corner of her eyes.

Black static shot up into the sky then vanished without a trace. "What was that?" It drew her attention enough to cause her to walk over to the other end of her porch just to get a better look.

Th black static clawed it's way up into the air towards the moon only to fall down and try again. "What the heck is that?"

Suddenly the howls seemed louder this time as if they where getting closer to Colarine's house. This of course naturally startled her. "I better get inside fast!"

Rainbow Dash continued flying through the sky she was moving faster now a new found confidence has filled her heart.

"Yes I don't know how but I just know it I can feel you... Don!" Rainbow Dash increased in speed this time a trail of light colors where left behind her.

Suddenly black lightning shot up into the sky. Rainbow Dash saw the lightning she flew towards it.

The moons glow had dimmed, it stopped in motion, the Mendacore's howls had ceased, silence broke out engulfing Equestria.

Rainbow Dash continued to fly hopelessly towards disappointment unknowingly of what lies ahead.

Rainbow Dash landed in an open field of tall grass the static had stopped it was darker out now than before.

"Where, where... Where is he!" Rainbow Dash blindly charging through tall grass searching.

Don lied in the center of the field as leaves fell from the trees around him a single rotten apple fell crashing on the ground and exploding to bits.

Rainbow Dash stepped out into the open space. Her eyes painfully locked onto Don who wasn't speaking, who wasn't, moving, who wasn't breathing.

Rainbow Dash sat down her eyes watered. "Why... You said.. You... You said... you'd... come back!"

Black static sparked around Don's chest Rainbow Dash didn't seem to noticed over the sound of her heart being shattered as her eyes drained.

"I... Don't understand... Don!" Rainbow Dash shook Don trying to wake him it was foolish of her to believe he'd be napping.

"Please just wake up... Don!" Rainbow Dash breathed heavily as she tried to stare down to Don through her watery eyes she could see the truth, it was a frightening undesirable truth.

Rainbow Dash quickly and violently ran randomly she leaped into the air and began flying nowhere, anywhere, just somewhere far away from there.

A small amount of black static shot off of Don it tried to follow Rainbow Dash but ultimately failed not having enough energy can cause you to fail.

Rainbow's tears ran down Don's face, Don's right hand twitched as anger coursed through his veins. Don knew he felt Rainbow Dash presence.

Mendacore's gathered all around a rather large crater. One of the Mendacore's dared to enter the crater cautiously he went down.

A few more Mendacore's joined the one brave soul. They all gathered around a rather large black metal baseball bat.

Suddenly the baseball bat began pulsating, most of the Mendacore's stepped away in fear, however one stepped up to the metal baseball bat and grabbed it trying to pull it out of the ground. Sadly the Mendacore could do no such thing.

The black metal baseball bat exploded sending out a large shock wave knocking back all of the Mendacore's in the forest, as it soared very quickly high into the air, it was surprising because it almost weighed more than the moon.

The baseball bat flew across the skies heading for it's master because it was one of three things that contained the remainder of Don's life force.

The metal baseball bat crashed causing such a loud ruckus. Its handle was logged into the ground, it sparked massively black static engulfed Don's body.

Suddenly the moon brightened it became even brighter than before. Just as before it's light was blinding to the weak.

Itenza sat happily on his thrown surrounded by thousands of Mendacore's as Marrie stood next to him.

Suddenly a bright light engulfed the large crater they resided in as there main base.

Marrie took a breath. "It's my pathetic disgrace of a brother it would seem somehow he's brought himself back from the brink of death."

Itenza looked to Marrie, "Don't use that tone with me!" Itenza slammed Marrie into the ground with his fists without a second thought.

Marrie coughed up blood. "Yes... I apologize, I'm... sorry master!" Itenza smirked evilly, "Much better!"

Meanwhile Rainbow Dash flew fast in any direction just trying to stop thinking about it. All of the flying sure didn't stop her from crying, it seemed to make things worse. Her tears where like raindrops falling on a rainy day. "...Don!"

Celestia awoke to feel a surprising lack of energy over come her as sun light shinned through her windows.

Cadenza walked out of Celestia's bathroom brushing her teeth. "Wh..at..'s up!" she asked.

"Nothing just waking up!" "Oh that's nice hey you should get ready we need to go find Don."

Cadenza spat into the sink, "What... that's not from me... I made Twilight breakfast she was starving!"

Celestia's eyes widened in fear. "You... You cooked!" "You can't even make cookies... I don't believe it!" Cadenza put away her tooth brush then faced Celestia. "Celestia I know you haven't seen me in a long time but I can cook... now, I can bake."

"OK... I'm ready!" Cadenza starred at Celestia with a type of confusion on her face. "Umm... You don't look ready, are you sure your OK!"

"Well if you say so!" Celestia looked to Cadenza in her bathroom. "One question what are you doing... in... my... bathroom."

Cadenza sighed then took a breath. "Well apparently Twilight's learned a new trick she sent me a message asking me to come make her some breakfast."

"So I didn't have time to wash up or brush my teeth so I decided to do it here." "I see well I was just wondering OK let's go."

At first Celestia flew slowly unable to speed up until she finally woke up completely. The sun shined down warming Equestria and her people.

The duo Princess's headed straight for the EverFree Forest obviously this would be the starting point to there search.

Cadenza slowed down so she could be next to Celestia she asked. "Are you sure your alright?"

"YES!" Cadenza stared with a certain fear evident on her face. "O..K..s..o..r.r..y!" Cadenza slowed down so she could fly behind Celestia.

Celestia however didn't seem to all together. Celestia hadn't been in the air for more than two minutes already she was sweating.

Celestia looked back to see the castle wasn't too far away. She came to a sudden halt. "Cadenza!"

Cadenza stopped and flew back to Celestia. "What is it?" Celestia swallowed hard. "You know what I actually don't feel to well today I think you should go on without me."

Cadenza sighed, "I'm glad your admitting this, Celestia go home, take a shower, then get some rest." Cadenza turned ready to take off at full speed. "I'll have Don wake you when I find him."

Celestia breathed heavily as she continued to sweat, "Sure!" The Princess's both flew off in different directions.

Big Mac was outside working hard plowing the soil, readying the ground for the fresh batch of seeds.

Meanwhile Granny Smith was finishing up the zap apple jam. "Should be finished soon, I wonder why I haven't heard from Richy yet? "He'll be wanting this here batch of zap apple jam it might be the best tasting jam yet."

Pinky Pie and Applejack slept heavily in Applejack's room after staying up all night, trying to figure out ways to fly. So they could enter the big upcoming race. They wouldn't get to far if they're sleeping on the job.

Granny packed the last bit of zap apple jam into a jar then closed the lid. "I wonder why we haven't heard from Don either, it's been a pretty long while." "But I'm sure he's probably just out enjoying this wonderful bright sunny day!"

Rainbow Dash lied under a tree her coat was soaked she was covered in mud. Rainbow Dash was curled up in a ball trying to forget everything.

Mendacore's continued to flash through her mind. As did the blue aura that Don wore when he'd saved her it also flashed through her mind. As well did the image of Don, lying on the ground dead in front of her it appeared in her mind as well.

Don's voice, his words echoed through her mind as well as an empty promise. "Don't worry I'm just saying if we don't come back in time, but we will be back!" "I promise!"

Ominous shadows moved coherently around Rainbow Dash not making themselves known.

"I don't even want to race now... But." Rainbow Dash looked up out of her sorrow, the sunlight gave hope to a new day.

"I still wanna meet the Wonderbolts and race with Spitfire that would be pretty cool!" "But..." The single thought of Spitfire and the other Wonderbolts put a smile on Rainbow Dash's face.

Rainbow Dash looked around from within her curled up state, "But I'm not even sure where I am or how I'm suppose to get home?"

Soarin stood in the doorway with a horde of Wonderbolts. "So I got your message an hour ago... But it took me a few minutes to get the colts together."

"It's fine no worries!" Colarine looked to the delicate selection of colts. "So can all of you help me move!"

All of the Wonderbolts except Soarin, they stared in unison with amazement evident on there faces, they where mesmerized by Colarine's appearance her beauty. "Sure!" they all said in unison there voices filled with lust.

Soarin cheered, "So you've finally decided to move to Cloudsdale have you, Emm... Can't wait!" "Pie's!"

"Nope I'm not moving to Cloudsdale I an moving to nicest little down just a ways below of Cloudsdale." "I'm moving to Ponyvile I'm going to set up a pie shop there and serve up smiles with a side of whip cream."

Soarin's mouth suddenly hit the ground, "What?" "But... But... Pie's... and... Spitfire... But... But... Cloudsdale... What?"

"Don't act surprised I'm not a big fan of living on a cloud I would rather keep my feet on the ground!" Soarin's eyes fell out of his eye sockets.

"But that makes no sense your a Pegasus and last night I did a little research!"

Colarine sighed loudly, "Oh no... Don't tell me!" "Yes I found a box full of old records hidden away inside a broom closet, I found out that you where a Wonderbolt ten years ago but you quit!"

"Precisely why I don't want to be a Wonderbolt again it was fun but I've had enough."

The other Wonderbolts walked past Soarin and Colarine inside her home to get her boxes moved to Ponyvile.

"But being a Wonderbolt is fun how could you just quit and why what caused you to quit I just wanna know so I can avoid it!"

"Well prepare for a sad lonely life!" Colarine took a breath. "I quit the Wonderbolts cause I found my very special some pony!"

"But for the first year he didn't like the ideal of what I was doing." "He didn't want to see me get hurt, at first I knew I wouldn't ever get injured in the heat of a race or battle or just doing anything in the air."

"But one day I was out with some of the other Wonderbolts of that generation we ran into a accident."

"What kind of accident?" "Well I'm not sure I don't remember a lot about that day but I'm the only survivor."

"The last thing I remember before going down was hearing the frightening howls coming within the EverFree Forest!"

"I'm not even sure how I was shot down but me and the rest of the Wonderbolts patrolling that night we where attacked."

"Like I said I don't remember anything about that night but when I awoke the next day I was in a hospital with my some pony next to me!"

"He told me to resign from the Wonderbolts and I did cause I was to scared to go back into the air."

Soarin gasped, "Wait so you haven't flown in ten years, what kind of Pegasus are you!"

"You just don't understand!" "Soarin your still too young your practically a baby Pegasus compared to me and the things I've seen."

"Things you've seen your lucky you make good pies or else I'd drag you up onto the highest cloud and push you off forcing you to fly!"

"I would just crash to the groud cause I'm not going to fly in fact I'm going to walk to Ponyvile!"

Colarine flipped her tail over top of Soarin an walked past him, "I'll let you handle my things." Colarine charged off for the trail to Ponyvile.

Celestia managed to get back into Canterlot's airspace. Pegasus ponies where repairing the castle's outer shell.

While earth ponies pitched in repairing the inside's halls, floors, and sealing's.

Celestia landed on her balcony she walked over to her bed getting ready to flop into her bed when suddenly.

"State your business gentlecolt's!" "Yes ma'am we believe we found a replacement for Raider Leader of the Royal Guardian's your majesty!"

It was slightly difficult to refer to the Princess as royalty with her looking the way she was. Her coat was messed up she was sweating like a dog.

"Alright, I guess I have time to review him bring him to me I'll be waiting in the royal presentation hall." "Very well... Princess!"

Cadenza flew high above the forest quickly she scanned the area she believed to be where she'd left Don for dead.

"I don't see any trace of him and I still can't feel his presence what if... What if I was right and Don is..."

Suddenly Cadenza noticed a bunch of trees toppled over on top of one another. Cadenza landed in a rather large crater surrounded by nothing but pure devastation.

"Don't tell me Don did this, what if Don crashed here... oh my goodness, it's all my fault!"

Cadenza's eyes darted around looking for any clues to some one walking out of the crater.

She found nothing. Instead she found evidence of something rising up into the air with great force.

Cadenza quickly flew into the air, she looked in every direction. "Where, which way?"

The thick, tall, wide doors opened causing a loud squeak to echo throughout the castle.

"What... What is this?" Celestia stated in confusion at why'd these four where totally ragged looking.

Shining Armor took a breath. "If I may your majesty I believe I would suit your needs best!"

"My... My needs... What?" Celestia blushed. "I mean your loss of a commander for the guardians is what I want it!"

"Oh in that case... Absolutely not!" Screamed Celestia with all of her might. "What can a mere filly such as yourself offer me we are nearing a time of crisis how would you benefit." Celestia shot down Shining Armor quickly crushing his hopes and dreams.

Celestia, smirked realizing his magical power she knew it seemed familiar. "Well show me your prowess then I might consider you."

"Celestia you called me!" asked the gigantic Manticore. Every pony in the room gasped the four guardians quickly fled the ever so growing in danger scene.

"Tang by my name I order you to teach this little filly the meaning of... aggression!" Shining gulped heavily.

The Manticore named Tang leaped across the room swinging his claws at Shining who just barely dove underneath his attack.

"Oh my gosh!" Shining stepped back away from Tang. "Wait... Wait... Wait, maybe we can reach some kind of deal, or perhaps a plea bargain."

Tang slung his large fists at Shining who narrowly avoided his attack. "Please!" Shining asked nicely.

Celestia was half asleep as she watched in pure surprise and amazement. She was in a haze her body seemed to pulsate.

Shining grinned evilly, "It's because... your way too slow!" Shining teleported behind Tang kicking him with both of his back legs sending Tang crashing through two pillars into the walls next to the huge thick doors.

The four guardian ponies listened from outside, fear evident on there faces. "Should we go get help?" said one of the guardians, "No, no I think we are good." said another pony. "Yeah they'll be OK!"

Tang lied in a pill of rubble feeling very much in pain with a side of confusion overwhelming him as well. "What... How... Did you!"

Tang managed to stand up he quickly charged Shining who just jumped into the air.

Tang vigorously looked around to find Shining, but he was nowhere in sight. "What where?"

"Yoohoo!" Shining antagonized the situation. Shining hovered in mid air high above Celestia and Tang.

Both Celestia and Tang looked to see Shining touching the sealing without wings on his back.

"But... But how?" asked Tang. Shining began descending quickly ready to slam Tang into the ground. Tang continued to act surprised.

Celestia's mouth widened. Shining neared Tang who just instantly reached up and grabbed a hold of Shining.

"Ha! I've got you!" "Do you now?" Suddenly Shining began fading away into nothingness. Tang opened up his palms to see nothing was there, "No way... it can't be!"

Celestia's eyes exploded as she starred at Shining who was racing up behind Tang.

Shining powerfully kicked Tang into the ground rendering him unconscious within mere seconds.

Shining landed in front of Celestia eagerly awaiting her response, hoping it would be one of approval.

Celestia continued to stare blankly at Tang lying unconscious she didn't even realize Shining standing before her.

"No way!" is all Celestia had to say. "Yes way!" replied Shining Armor. "Come on, Please!"

"What... Oh no I mean that was amazing." "Please young filly colt do tell me your name I must know it."

"My name is Shining Armor!" "Well Shining Armor that was fantastic you didn't even use magical attacks to defeat Tang." "I'm impressed your the first pony to actually defeat him in battle."

"Really cool, now that's good rep right there that is!" Shining's eyes sparkled as he approached Celestia. "So does this mean I can be leader of the Guardians?"

"Yes... but... on a preliminary basis." "I want to watch over you and be sure your the one, I would also like to teach you a few things you'll need to know to effectively protect all of Canterlot."

"Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeessssssssssss!" Shining Armor couldn't resist the urge he bounced all around the room soaring through the air. "YAAAAHHH!" "I did it!" "WHOOOHOOO!"

Celestia laughed at Shining's very energy filled way of celebrating. "Shining one more thing where did you learn how to fly without wings?"

"Oh well umm... This thing called a human his name is Don he's the one who taught me how!"

"Don... When... and how long ago was this, when did he teach you this!" "Oh well he showed me the ropes back in Phillydelphia after he saved the mayor and his family from a house fire a few days ago."

"Oh OK... Wait what... What do you mean from a house fire I haven't seen so much as a letter informing about the situation!"

"Celestia relax there fine, Don saved all of them before the house exploded." "It exploded!" "Umm... no... did I say exploded I meant... Umm... Burnt down... No, no I meant collapsed... No cave in." Celestia's eyes widened.

"OK.. Look every pony is OK don't worry about the house so what if it exploded caved in and burnt down to ashes don't think about that of course what if some pony didn't make it out."

"What a way to go, tragic!" Celestia managed to gather herself before speaking. "OK Shining that's enough I understand!"

"So... Anyway Shining Armor tomorrow I will officially announce that you will be replacing Raider as leader of the Guardians."

"Yes sweet, so can I be excused I gotta go tell some ponies about this." Shining turned and ran towards the widened doors that opened slowly.

"If your talking about your sister she's upstairs." said Celestia. "What really well OK thanks for the tip!" Shining Armor charged through the open doors.

Celestia reappeared hovering above her bed before she fell down to it. "Aww yes, much better now that, that's over I can sleep, I'll shower later."

Colarine stepped over a rather large hill Ponyvile was now within her sight she panted heavily.

"I haven't trotted that far in a long time I must be getting old, I hope I'm not that old yet!" Colarine laughed as she began walking down the hill towards Ponyvile, her new home.

"I can't wait to start serving pies and smiles!" Colarine pranced right into town.

Soarin stood inside a little filly's room, "Wow it looks like a little filly lived here once but there's dust everywhere covering everything."

"I wonder did she want me to pack all of this or just leave it here, I guess I'll leave it here for now and ask her later about this stuff."

Suddenly Soarin noticed a photograph stand covered in dust he picked it up and blew the dust away.

After the small dust cloud dispersed it revealed a very little filly with a wide smile a bright glowing rainbow mane and big blue widened eyes.

"Aw adorable!" "I mean, How cute!" "she must be Colarine's, but I wonder why she isn't here..." Finally it hit Soarin... "Oh... I see!" Soarin put the photo down on its face making it visible to no pony.

Soarin whipped his face off, "I believe it best to leave this room untouched." "That way until the little filly finally returns home from school, one day she'll come back to find it exactly as she remembered." "Exactly as she left it."

Soarin walked out of the room and closed the door shut behind him taking nothing but a cold memory with him.

Soarin walked downstairs to the living room, are you colts ready. "Yep!" they all replied at once. "OK then let's move out to Ponyvile!"

All of the Wonderbolts Soarin had brought within him charged out of the house they all jumped into the air with several boxes on there backs.

"Aw yes Colarine you've finally arrived!" "Yeh it took me sometime but I'm here now so you got my letter."

"Yes I did and if you'll follow me I'll show you the house slash bakery you can live out, I just know your going to love it."

"Can't wait I'm just so ecstatic I can hardly express myself." Colarine said with a gloomy feeling lurking over her voice.

"Funny you don't sound ecstatic!" Colarine signed. "Well yeah I am but it's just I'm leaving so many memories it's hard to feel happy."

"Colarine please try do to cheer up think of all of the new memories you'll have here in Ponyvile all of the good times you'll have it'll be great I promise." The mayor attempted to cheer Colarine up but she was failing miserably.

The mayor led Colarine through town, Colarine got to meet a bunch of news faces and smiles to see if they would cheered her up a bit.

But the moment Colarine saw the house slash bakery she'd be staying in, immediately she felt saddened.

The major pointed to the two story house. "I figured your a single mare your bound to draw quite an attraction from a delightfully appealing amount of colts in my fare town."

Colarine starred at the house she gulped heavily trying to think of the new memories she would soon have. "Yeah I bet there's a lot but I'm more interested in baking then colts right now!"

Suddenly it struck Colarine, "But... this house looks perfect!" The mayor was relieved to see the sudden mood change in Colarine.

The Mayor looked to Colarine. "OK shall we go inside and scope out where you'll be living. Colarine simply nodded in agreement.

Colarine and the mayor trotted inside, "OK Colarine your new house has three bedrooms, all of them upstairs." "Cool!"

"Unfortunately only one bathroom it also is upstairs." "That'll be fine, for now at least."

"The big living room is also upstairs basically where you'll live and sleep is upstairs." "That's fine but what is all of the downstairs used for?"

"Well the gigantic bakery of course!" Colarine's mouth hit the floor as she looked around there was a huge kitchen a nice sizes area where the ponies could eat and frolic.

Colarine took a breath. "It's Perfect!" The Mayor sighed loudly. "I'm glad you like it well when are the movers suppose to arrive."

"I'm not sure what's taking all of those idiots so long!" "Well I will leave you to look around if you need me I'll be in town hall if not there just come to my house up on the hill behind town hall."

"Alright sure, sure!" Colarine was totally distracted and not paying attention to the Mayor. Colarine stepped into the kitchen there was two gigantic ovens, shelves lined all across the walls for storing supplies.

There was a long circular hard wood table in the center of the kitchen for rolling out dough and applying various icings and toppings to cakes, cookies, and or cupcakes.

The Mayor left Colarine to her endless wonders and worry less adventures inside her bakery.

Cadenza felt like she'd been flying in circles. "Don I don't want to give up on you."

Cadenza dove through the forest once again dodging trees narrowly avoiding loose branches. "He has to be here somewhere..."

Suddenly shadows flew above Cadenza's head, she looked up to see weird giant bloated up monsters flying through the air she quickly flew into action.

Cadenza appeared before several squarish monsters. "Halt you disgustingly hideously revoltingly vile fiends!"

Suddenly Soarin flew down in front of Cadenza holding three boxes in his hooves.

"P...p..princess C...c..cadenza!" "Wait your not a monster yes your a Wonderbolt."

"Y..e..p!" Cadenza looked around to see several other Wonderbolts straining to hold up the apparently heavy boxes full of, Celestia knows what. "Well what the heck are you all doing here?"

"We... are... helping... out... an... old... friend!" "Old Friend you don't say well I'll let you colts be on your way, those look really heavy."

"Your... Too... Kind P..princess!" The horde of struggling Wonderbolts quickly flew through the skies as fast as they could without dropping Colarine's junk.

Cadenza starred down to a little cabin on the edge of the forest just east of her. "Let's see if I where falling I would try to land in a place where I could easily recover my barrings."

Cadenza looked down to see the gigantic crater just below her. "I see... This just has to be it, I know it!"

After running blindly through the frightening corridors of Celestia's castle Shining Armor made it to a suspiciously colored door.

Shining quickly blew through the door. "Twilight... any pony home." An annoying ticking clock ticked away at Shining's sanity as he looked around.

Shining walked around the dimly lit room, this is defiantly Twilight's room. Shining picked up a picture of Twilight and himself hugging.

"I wonder how big Twilight's gotten since I last saw her three years ago." "I hope she still has that cute smile I remember, training with a Princess is bound to have diminished it a bit."

Suddenly Twilight burst out of the closet flying half way across the room towards Shining.

"BBBFF!" yelled Twilight in mid air. "Little sis!" Shining ran and caught Twilight on his back.

"How you been Twi!" "I've been great how about you did you finally get into the guardians?"

"Yep I'm there new leader!" Twilight bounced into the air. "Really that's awesome wait until I tell Princess Celestia."

Twilight ran for the door, "Twilight wait she's the one who told me that I was going to be made leader."

"That's awesome... well wanna celebrate then!" asked Twilight. Shining's stomached growled loudly. Twilight giggled taking that as his answer.

"Let's go!" Twilight ran behind Shining and somehow managed to push him to the doorway. "Wait, wait where are we gonna go?"

"Well I hear there's a bunch of good restaurants in town!" Shining threw Twilight on his back. "OK then let's go I'm starving."

Meanwhile Celestia rested comfortably in her soft bed she was covered in sweat. For some strange reason she looked different somehow?

Cadenza landed in front of the small two story cabin. "It looks like this is where the Wonderbolts have been moving some ponies stuff."

"Who in Equestria would live out here near the borders of the EverFree Forest." Cadenza looked around.

"It sure is quiet out here, at least I can see Canterlot from here I know my way home that's good."

Patches of tall grass surrounded the cabin, Cadenza just assumed that Don wouldn't be inside some ponies cabin.

Cadenza charged blindly into the tall grass. Don's magical pressure filled this area.

"I know he's here, I just know it!" Cadenza raced towards the rising powers a short distance away.

Cadenza stepped in the center of a desolated field of flattened black tall grass. "What, what has happened here."

Cadenza watched as tall grass beside her began descending to the ground it was losing it's color it's life was fading.

Cadenza looked over to see Don a few yards away lying on the ground not moving. His entire body from head to toe was engulfed in a yellowish bluish aura as black static sparked around the massive concentration of magic.

Cadenza walked over to Don's body the closer she got the slower she went her body suddenly felt heavy.

The aura around Don increased in mass the closer Cadenza got. She seemed to blinded by the sight of Don to notice what was happening to her.

Cadenza collided into a barrier, knocking her back into the air a good ways away from Don and his life sucking presence.

Cadenza finally noticed her massive loss of energy and magic. "What... the!" Cadenza fell to the ground.

"I can't move?" Cadenza looked over to Don's body. "But... But," As black static moved slowly across the ground towards Cadenza. Her sight faded she lost consciousness right there.

The black static surrounded Cadenza as she lied on the ground it was about to engulf her.

Don's right arm suddenly jerked he stretched his arm out and grabbed the static before it could over take Cadenza stealing her life away, and feed it to Don so he could survive.

Don absorbed the black static, "I'm alive... b..bbut how... I was sure... I had... I had ddied!" Suddenly her voice shot through Don's head.

Don could feel it, the darkness within him was calling him. "I... See... If I die... You die as well."

A smiley face of black static appeared above Don's head it appeared as if it was laughing, Don managed to laugh lightly, just before losing his consciousness once again.

Rain clouds moved in above Don and Cadenza as they rested in a rather large field of dead not so tall, tall grass.

Cuts, scars, bruises, and scuffs covered Don's body his clothing torn up and withered. Don's pure energy was the cause of the harm brought to him.

Sunlight rays shot through the thick heavy and ready to burst rain clouds, shining down onto Don.

Rainbow Dash flew fast past forests trees animals houses small dirt trails. "I feel like I'm getting closer."

The same as before a stream of rainbow colors where left trailing behind Rainbow Dash, like an extra long tail.

Rainbow Dash looked to her left to see a large amount of black rain clouds where pouring in from the east.

"Whoa a big storms coming I better move faster don't wanna get caught in it, or do I?"

Rainbow looked behind her to see no pony was there but she still couldn't shake this feeling that something or some pony was following her.

Black static sparked around Rainbow's back hooves tempting to crawl up her body. To do who knows what?

Marrie hovered in mid air beside of Itenza her eyes still gray not a shred of humanity left.

Marrie took a breath "What shall I kill first!" asked Marrie in a cold emotionless tone.
