Chapter 25 Equestria in Ruins The Elements of Harmony Cadenza Savior Twilight Sparkle's Hidden Powers Awoken Unlucky Spitfire A Longful Father Don's Presence Still Remains Skies of Equestria Pinky Pie bounced into Ponyvile unaware of the dangerous presence in the skies above. Princess Celestia starred down Itenza who just starred unknowingly of what he was up against. Celestia still seemed weakened from what happened to her yesterday she breathed abnormally, clearly the elements where taking quite a large toll from her, or was it something else? "I'm not sure what this is but, I believe it should be very interesting come at me Princess." Itenza antagonized the situation. Spitfire and Soarin as well as the rest of the remaining Wonderbolts gathered around Celestia. Spitfire stretched her wings ready for some dragon hunting. "We're right beside you Princess!" "NO!" Sweat ran down Celestia's face, "Stay out of this, I can't fully guarantee that you'll be safe!" Spitfire flew up beside Celestia. "Safe... Safe from what, that nasty dragon doesn't stand a chance! Well not with us helping you at least." "Ehh... Fine but only jump in at my word!" Itenza was tired of waiting he charged Celestia attracting his claws. Celestia flew to him at a rapidly increasing and decreasing speed, it was quite strange. Itenza jumped above Celestia slinging his pair of frighteningly sharp claws, only to have them deflect right back at him. A tiny barely visible blue bubble shield appeared around Celestia. Itenza back away rubbing his claws in pain they where glowing red that shield around Celestia was volcano hot. "So you wanna play with the heat, well then let me open up the door to the kitchen then well bake cookies together." Itenza leaped into, Celestia quickly turned to Spitfire and the others. "NOW!" Itenza looked down out of the corner of his eyes to see the Wonderbolts soaring straight towards him, and they meant business. "Humph sending your minions to there demise how lovely of you." Itenza quickly spun around in mid air so he was facing the Wonderbolts. Itenza took a deep breath, the suddenly the entire sky was set ablaze. Massive rampaging fire balls hurdled towards the Wonderbolts who didn't even flinch at the sight of them, because they already knew. Celestia appeared in front of the Wonderbolts her shield quickly absorbed the fire balls as the Wonderbolts all flew around her they instantly dashing for Itenza. Celestia stopped for a moment allowing herself one instant to breath, she breathed heavily as the bubble shield pulsated red it was swelling with magic. The Wonderbolts all crashed into Itenza knocking him down sending him crashing towards Celestia who was unfortunately still recuperating. Celestia looked up out of all the sweat and heat through the haze of smoke she could see Itenza flying towards her at a rapidly increasing velocity. Celestia's horn charged up something bright it didn't appear that Celestia was going to gather enough magic to blow Itenza away, then suddenly just before Itenza collided with Celestia he was struck by a flying object. Itenza continued to hurdle through the air this time it was away from Celestia thankfully. All of the Wonderbolts turned to see Shining Armor hovering above Celestia. "I'm glad I stuck with my gut and followed behind Soarin or that could've been a real nasty collision." "Shining Armor, I am... very glad... to see you!" Celestia panted heavily as she looked up to Shining. "Ah! It was nothing my lady." Shining descended next to Celestia. "After all ti's my job to protect you, as well as all of Equestria from the likes of whatever that thing was?" The Wonderbolts regrouped forming a wall between the Princess and Itenza who finally recovered from that series of madness. Itenza laughed maliciously, "Your numbers just keep increasing, but your all still no match!" Itenza was really beginning to get on Spitfire's last nerve she grinned her teeth. "I mean after all you Wonderbolts sure did a good job getting that kink out of my back I just might sleep better now, thanks for that!" Shining teleported before Itenza, "You and me, here and now, let's do this!" Itenza stopped laughing for a moment to partake in Shining's challenge. "Well then let's dance, shall we!" Itenza cut across the sky then unsuspectingly he quickly slid underneath of Shining. The next thing Shining knew he was hurdling upwards. "What don't run away, I'm not done proving myself, yet!" Suddenly Itenza disappeared from every ponies sight. Every pony was looking in all directions trying to find him. Shining finally caught himself before he left Equestria's orbit, "Weh! Sure is cold up here!" Then it finally struck Shining. Suddenly the sky dimmed once again, Spitfire as well as the rest of the Wonderbolts starred downwards to the grounds of Ponyvile and the forest of EverFree. Celestia starred upwards past Shining she could see him her eyes widened wide, Celestia's horned glowed violently as she then fired a massive ray of light into the sky. Spitfire turned to Celestia, "What are you shooting at?" "Whoa!" Shining quickly swerved around the ray of light as it passed right past him just barely taking a little of his mane off the top. Shining turned around to see a gigantic flaming frighteningly huge massive lava ball of pure destruction colliding with the ray of light. "That's impossible how can that ball of lava survive up here it's so cold and... Wait a second how did it even get up here?" Soarin continued to stare up into the sky watching the ray of light then he thought he noticed something. "What is that?" Cloudsdale Hospital Colarine tried to hold on for dear life. "Whhy... Isss... Thhe... Cloouud... Shhaaakking!" The entirety of Cloudsdale was shaking violently it was threatening its very existence in the sky. The doctors inside the operation room where Rainbow Dash was, hung on for dear life. Rainbow Dash was luckily tied down to a table that was fortunately nailed to the floor. "Whhaat... Thhe... Hecck... Iss... Gggoinng... Onn... Thiss... Cann'tt... Beee... Happppenningg... Nooowwow!" Ponyvile as well as Sweet Apple Acres are also shaking violently, even the EverFree Forest was feeling the intensity of Celestia's battle with Itenza. Celestia's ray of light widened in size while the ball of lava increased in mass threatening to engulf the sky. Manehatten Princess Cadenza stood up just barely able to stand she looked into the dim red sky. "What is this power I'm feeling it's so familiar and dark!" Cadenza began trotting home. "I have to make it back to warn every pony." Cadenza was a wobbly mess, she was covered in mud, her mane was down to split ends due to the suns heat, and yet she continued marching home with nothing but her pure will power and determination holding her up. Skies of Equestria Celestia pushed all of her magic into the beam of light, the massive lava ball continued to hurdle towards her unthreatened by her presence. Spitfire starred up to the gigantic ball of lava, "Oh my gosh! That thing is huge it could destroy all of Equestria." The Wonderbolts scattered as sparks of fire from the ball of lava shot off at them. Spitfire and Soarin flew up the ray of light flying straight for the ball of lava. Shining flew behind the gigantic ball to see Itenza was inside controlling it from within. Shining loosened his jaws and inhaled a large amount of air. "Your going down!" Shining exhaled freezing cold almost whitish blue air it surrounded the rear of the lava ball. Itenza didn't pay Shining no mind, Shining's eyes suddenly widened in fear as the lava ball grew in size again. Itenza looked behind starring directly at Shining, he laughed evilly. "You fool you never blow on fire you'll only make it stronger!" Itenza laughed as the lava ball sped up. Celestia's eyes widened, "OH! NO! I can't hold it off, it's... It's gonna hit..." 'BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!' Suddenly the sky exploded igniting up like a birthday candle, all of the Wonderbolts except Spitfire hurdled through burning skies spiraling out of control. There screams where ear busting. Celestia was in the center of the red hot fiery explosion of death, Shining watched from a safe distance above the flaming skies. "Oh my gosh... Did I do that?" Itenza flew up out of the explosion hovering beside Shining Armor, "Thank you do much, your stupidity has just won me the battle!" Itenza laughed psychotically. Everyone in Ponyvile scattered in every direction trying to avoid flaming fireballs that where raining from the sky, it was truly apocalyptic. Flames in the sky continued to spread, Spitfire flew out of the flames she was tarred black she began crashing down to the ground. Shining quickly dove down through the fire and flames chasing after Spitfire he needed to do something good considering he'd caused all this mess. "HANG ON! Spitfire I'm coming!" Itenza merely laughed at Shining's feeble meaningless efforts. The sky that was bloody crimson red began fading out returning to blue, but the power raging inferno remained unweakened. Cloudsdale Hospital The violent shaking finally stopped, Colarine blew Rainbow Dash a kiss passing through the glass, Colarine turned and ran out of the hospital. "I'll be back, don't you worry!" Outskirts of Manehatten Cadenza collapsed to the ground nearly unconscious, luckily for her a pegasus just happened to be passing over top and he conveniently noticed her out of all of the forest land and steady streams of clear water her muddy presence sure stood out. The pegasus quickly dove down landing next to Cadenza. The pegasus had a short golden mane, he had bright blue eyes and a light blue coat. "Oh my gosh! Are you... Are you alright?" Cadenza didn't respond she was almost reaching unconsciousness how could she not. "I'll take that as a no!" The mysterious pegasus barely bigger than Cadenza threw her over his back. "I'll get you somewhere safe!" The pegasus leaped into the air flying back towards Manehatten at a frighteningly fast speed. Cadenza felt the wind against her face she barely regained some of her consciousness. "No! Wait! Don't... please... take me to... to Canterlot... quickly!" The pegasus looked back to Cadenza. "What? Are you crazy you need medical attention, ASAP!" Cadenza coughed up a little blood. "Take me... There now!" "Fine, I will but don't say I didn't warn you!" Cadenza rested her head. "I'll be fine..." The pegasus did a complete one eighty turn he sped up even faster than before speeding across the sky, he was heading for Canterlot the pegasus left the sky rippling in his presence. That was quite strange you don't see that everyday. Skies of Equestria The fiery flames of death began dying down but just barely they still very much filled the sky engulfing anything in it's wake destroying all. Suddenly Celestia covered in flames fell from the burning sky towards the EverFree Forest, her life force was almost completely diminished she clung onto life but just by a tiny thread that was about to be cut. Itenza stopped laughing to stop and take noticed of Celestia, "Oh your still alive I was for sure you'd be burnt up to ashes, I suppose I held back a little bit on that last attack." 'CRAAAAAAAAASSSSSHHHH!' Celestia crashed landed in the old castle of the two sisters the elements of harmony that where around her neck cracked shattering into pieces. How ominous. Celestia lied unconscious beneath an image of the moon carved into a broken window. Canterlot Twilight was busy reading and practicing her new spells she's been learning from the mysterious book she found but then she sensed it. Twilight stopped and immediately starred up into the burning sky, "Oh No! Princess Celestia, it can't... It just can't..." Spike backed away from Twilight in an bat of fear after realizing Twilight had suddenly changed. Twilight's eyes glowed white, black static sparked around Twilight's four hooves. The vibrant octagon seal on Twilight's back pulsated releasing a small amount of her dormant powers. Skies of Equestria Itenza continued laughing his ass off, "Hahaha I did it... YESSS!" "Hazah! She's dead she's really dead!" Suddenly Itenza felt it he stopped laughing he stopped cheering and turned towards the castle. "You've finally decided to show yourself Don..." Itenza flew off towards Canterlot. Shining hovered above the lake where Spitfire crashed, he didn't have to do anything he already knew. "DANG IT! WHY?" Soarin as well as the rest of the Wonderbolts hovered above a lake surrounding Spitfire as she laid with her head down under. Soarin's eyes watered, "Oh no! Not Spitfire... No!" Soarin pulled Spitfire out of the water he threw over his back. "She's..." Sadness began looming over the Wonderbolts. "She's still alive but just barely!" The Wonderbolts suddenly burst out cheering happy that there captain hadn't been burnt to a crispy crisp. Shining looked down through his watery eyes to see Spitfire and Soarin, "Yes he's right I can feel her life force, but how? It's incredible!" "Quickly the rest of you go get Princess Celestia, bring her to Cloudsdale hospital I'm going to take Spitfire there right now." The other Wonderbolts quickly bolted into action, as Soarin leaped into the air flying towards Cloudsdale. "I hope I make it, hang on... Spitfire please... don't leave me!" Shining however was greatly relieved that Spitfire survived he turned facing Canterlot. "Time to finish this!" Shining took off for Canterlot. He wasn't moving very fast though for some strange reason. The Wonderbolts neared the old castle of two sister's where Celestia had crash landed. Meanwhile as Soarin flew to Cloudsdale a golden blur followed by a strange sensation passed over him. Soarin stopped and turned around to see the sky was rippling behind him. "What the heck is that?" Colarine suddenly crashed into Soarin, "Oopsie! Excuse me... Soarin... and is that Spitfire on your back!" "Yes it is, look we gotta get her to Cloudsdale hospital now can you help me." Colarine starred at her sister with absolute fear evident in her eyes. "Umm... Well... Uhh yeah sure come on let's move quickly!" Colarine and Soarin with Spitfire on Soarin's back hanging on to a mere shred of life like Celestia was, they headed straight for Cloudsdale together. Canterlot Twilight rose into the air as her power swelled the castle began to shake and quake back and forth as did the tiny town below. Itenza stopped in front of Twilight he looked totally confused. "Umm... Your not Don, your just... just a little filly." Itenza detected all of the massive power was coming from Twilight his arms almost trembled. "No way! What is this power." Spike ran outside and flopped on the grass to get a front row seat of Itenza's ass kicking, he brought popcorn. Twilight darted across the sky slamming her body into Itenza's rock hard chest. Itenza's hands fumbled into the air as he fell backwards. Twilight landed on Itenza's broken chest, she charged her horn up. Suddenly a wave of blue magic overtook the sky, Itenza crashed downwards into the already destroyed streets of the Canterlot town. Itenza lied in a pile of rubble, Twilight flew down landing a few feet away from him. Twilight hadn't even broken a sweat yet she trotted across the supposedly untrotable ground over to Itenza who's only visible body part was his left hand sticking out of the rubble. Twilight used her magic to pull him out of the rubble she then swung him around violently destroying the few buildings that where left standing. After about three minutes of constant destruction, Twilight slung Itenza high up into the air as blood fell from his body his eye sight was blurry he starred down to Twilight. Twilight looked up, she aimed her horn for Itenza, her horn glowed with black static. Cadenza and the mysterious pegasus with a golden mane finally arrived on the scene. Then suddenly a frighteningly black ray of light that almost seemed demonic filled the sky. Itenza howled out pain as he felt Don's energy surrounding him, mocking him, agonizing, him destroying him! "I'll get you for this... I SWEAR IT!" Twilight still didn't even break a sweat, the sky slowly cleared and Itenza was gone vanished into thin air hopefully never to be seen again. Cadenza got off of the pegasi's back she starred at Twilight in amazement. "Wow!" Twilight began descending down towards the castle, she landed beside Spike her eyes faded out back to there original color. The black static around Twilight's entire body receded back within the octagon seal on her back, which stopped pulsating. Twilight wobbled back and forth before falling over unconscious, Spike quickly bounced up and ran over to her, unfortunately he dropped all of his deliciously freshly popped popcorn. Cadenza turned to the pegasus next her, "So thanks for helping me get home, by the way what's your name?" "Sorry I gotta go I'm in a hurry, but my name is Whip Wlash, see you later!" Wlash quickly turned and began flying away off towards the EverFree Forest. He must've been in quite a hurry. "WAIT!" Cadenza yelled to Wlash, "My name is Cadenza, and thanks for saving me!" By the time Cadenza finished yelling across the sky Wlash was already long gone. "I hope he heard me!" Cadenza shifted herself and quickly flew down to Twilight. The moment Cadenza landed she realized that she could no longer feel Celestia's presence anymore. "Oh gosh! What could it mean, I hope she's alright!" Cadenza quickly lowered her head to Twilight she examined her, "Oh good, she's just unconscious I guess using whatever the heck kind of power that was took its toll from Twilight!" Cadenza turned and stretched her wings, "Twilight you rest here for now I'm going to go check on Princess Celestia. Spike watched as Cadenza flew off into the air vanishing in the distance. EverFree Forest Castle of Two Sisters The mid day sunlight was illuminating through the broken windows, rays of pure light and an essence of Don's magical power where still looming all over the EverFree Forest from his most recent conflict there. The Wonderbolts landed outside in front of the worn down castle, they charged inside with no concern for there own safety only for the Princess. By the time the Wonderbolts found Celestia they where too late, it was pointless for them to come. Celestia already managed to stand up, she was wobbly for sure, the only thing holding her up was umm... well unknown. The Wonderbolts stared in amazement, blood ran down Celestia's mouth slowly. She was truly at death's door for sure. "I can still feel his presence, but he's weakened indefinably but by who?" Celestia whispered to herself as she slowly walked past the Wonderbolts. "Wait Princess let us help you, your not looking to hot!" One of the Wonderbolt's blurted out in a sudden rush of concern for the Princess's well being. Celestia continued to trot towards the entrance, "I will be fine, do not worry about me!" Celestia made it outside she leaped into the air, the fresh blood covering Celestia's coat glistened in the fading rays of the sun. The rest of the Wonderbolts followed behind Celestia as she flew at an alarmingly slow speed heading towards Canterlot. Celestia looked off into the distance to see the skies that where totally emerged in flames began clearing slowly. Meanwhile Cadenza was flying towards Ponyvile, when suddenly Cadenza closed her eyes for a moment, she was foolishly thinking that she could rest her eyes. Then Shining crashed into Cadenza sending them both spiraling in two different directions rendering them confused and leaving them feeling a little violated. Shining hovered upside down as he rubbed his aching head, "What the heck did I hit, Ahh! Whatever it was its hard like a rock, Agh! My face!" Cadenza opened her eyes when the wind stopped hitting her in the face, she looked around feeling a bit disturbed. "What was that?" Cadenza looked around to see Shining a few yards away from her, "Hey Shining watch'a doing?" Shining felt like a monkey of some sort. "Oh we'll you know just... Hanging around!" "I... Can see that!" Shining's eyes widened in fear, "Ca..dden...zza! Beeehiiiind youuu!" Shining said with an awful stutter filled with fear. Cadenza turned around slowly as a shadow loomed over top of her, "No... Way... That's impossible!" Itenza beaten and bruised he was covered in blood his body was pulsating still from Twilight's attack. "Hello! Princess Cadenza did you... think that it... would be... that easy... that I could... be beaten by... a mere filly!" Cadenza slowly backed away from Itenza, she was diffidently in no condition to fight not at all. "How could you have survived that attack!" Itenza breathed heavily. "I guess I'm just special or maybe I was meant to live, maybe it was destiny!" Shining dashed in front of Cadenza quickly charging up his horn. "Your destiny should've ended long ago!" "Oh Shining what can you possibly do really? I may be weakened beyond a single measurement but I'm still strong enough to deal with the likes of you." Cadenza charged up her horn as well she flew beside of Shining if he was going to die he sure wasn't gonna do it alone. Then suddenly a horde made up off six or seven Wonderbolts collided with Itenza pushing him back away from Cadenza and Shining giving them a moment to rest. Celestia flew between Cadenza and Shining she used the last of her magic the last of her everything. The Wonderbolts swerved around back and forth dodging frighteningly kinda sharp dull claws as well as tiny fire balls flying through the air. Cadenza nodded to Shining and Celestia, as did Shining to Celestia and Cadenza, so did Celestia to Cadenza and Shining. "OK on three, one... two... three!" Suddenly the fearsome threesome, fired there horns at once discharging off a massive ray of light even bigger than the one Twilight fired, it was amazing. The ray of light was huge it was brighter than the sun, the Wonderbolts obviously noticed this and took that as there cue to get the hell out of dodge. Itenza laughed as the Wonderbolts flew off in fear, "Hahaha you better run!" Itenza then turned around and like an old fashioned cartoon. 'BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!' The ray of light exploded crashing into Itenza nothing could be heard only silence engulfing all. Celestia and Cadenza both began to fall, Shining was barely able to keep his balance and with all of the silence he hadn't noticed the Princess's disappearances. Shining managed to lock his eyes onto Itenza despite all of the blinding white lights engulfing everything Itenza who continued to exist miserably. "Why him! It's time to finish this once and for all!" Shining flew into the haze of blinding light, only to immediately lose sight of his target. "Dang it I lost him, where is?" The overwhelmingly bright light suddenly engulfed Itenza, the Wonderbolts as well as Shining starred in amazement. Itenza's body was ever so slowly turning to stone, "Oh my gosh did we do that!" 'CRAAAAAAAAAAAAASSSSHHH!' 'BAAAAAAAAAAANNNGGG!' The sound of two crashes echoed as sound returned to the world. Shining looked downwards to see Princess Celestia and Cadenza on the ground unconscious, hopefully not dead! By now Itenza's body was completely overtaken in stone Itenza began descending to the ground in a sort of crashing fashion. 'CRAAAAAASSSSSHHH!' Itenza crashed into the ground, for some reason he didn't shattered to pieces, however he was still unable to reek havoc upon the world. Shining as well as the rest of the Wonderbolts sweat dropped feeling completely relieved. Although it must've slipped there minds that there Princess's where on the ground unconscious and possibly dead. Hopefully not though. Cloudsdale hospital Spitfire was immediate rushed into the emergency room she was in critical condition. Colarine didn't know which way to go Rainbow Dash was in surgery on the opposite end of the hospital but her only sister Spitfire was fighting for her life just a few yards away from here in the emergency operation room. Colarine and Soarin sat outside of the emergency room sweating bullets waiting for some hopefully good news, "I hope she'll be OK!" Soarin said in a frightful tone. Canterlot Twilight Sparkle lied unconscious underneath the rays of the setting sun, far off in the distance roars of pain and agony could be heard as the sun slowly vanished becoming night. But who's controlling the sun? EverFree Forest Darkness began filling the forest as the sun went down, the howls of the forsaken screeching out ready for there turn of fun. Unfortunately there wasn't much fun left to have, most of Equestria's guardians are gone, dead or out of commission. Meanwhile at Colarine's old cabin, Whip Wlash landed feeling remorse to return home with no good news. Whip Wlash opened the front door slowly trotting inside of the dark cabin, it was apparent that nobody was home and considering the living room was totally empty it was obvious that Colarine was long gone who know for how long? "I guess I'm too late, she's gone, and after years of searching I still couldn't find my long lost filly!" Whip Wlash walked upstairs every step he took echoed throughout the empty house filled with painful memories of happier times. Whip Wlash stood in front of Rainbow Dash's old room he heard something mysteriously frightening coming from within. "Something tells me that I shouldn't open this door! But I'm gonna!" Whip Wlash quickly dove underneath the door as it blew opened flying over his head and crashing against the hallways wall shattering to pieces. Whip Wlash looked up inside of Rainbow's room to see a big gaping hole in the wall as well as a large frighteningly revolting creature starring him down. Whip Wlash stood up slowly, "So your back for more!" The Mendacore nodded in agreement as it turned ready to pounce on Whip Wlash. The Mendacore's eyes widened as Whip Wlash suddenly disappeared right before his eyes. Whip Wlash sighed loudly, "Pssst! I'm right beside you!" The Mendacore turned around only to be kicked in the face, he hurdled backwards destroying what remained of Rainbow Dash's old room. The roof began crumbling as several Mendacore's fell through surrounding Wlash he simply yawned unmoved by there overwhelming presence. "Well let's dance, I've been preparing myself for my revenge for years!" The air around Whip Wlash began rippling, the Mendacore's sensed Whip Wlash's incredible power, so much power for a magic less pegasus, it was frightening. Whip Wlash's hair glowed bright yellowish gold as the Mendacore's leaped into the air surrounding Whip Wlash who didn't even bother flinching. Whip Wlash suddenly vanished into thin air once more, then instantly Colarine's house suddenly imploded while a few dozen Mendaore's where still inside. Whip Wlash stood on a hillside a few yards away as he glared at a fading memory filled with heart ache as it collapsed to the ground he held a photo of Colarine Rainbow Dash and himself. Water began glistening in the moon light as it fell suspiciously from Whip Wlash's face onto the photo, he let go letting it flow freely into the wind. Whip Wlash disappeared again leaving nothing but ripples in the air around where he once stood. Cloudsdale Hospital Every pony in the lobby starred in fear as several Wonderbolts and Shining held an unconscious Cadenza and Celestia on top of there backs. Several nurses and doctor ran out to meet the Wonderbolts, "What happened here?" One of the doctors asked. Shining struggled holding up Cadenza he was the only one holding her, the rest of the Wonderbolts where needed to hold up Celestia she was bigger than Cadenza obviously. "I'll... tell... you... later... but... first... can... you... get... Cadenza... off... of... me... she's... so... heavy!" "Oh yes of course!" Shining unloaded Cadenza on to a bed, several nurses rolled her off to the emergency room!" Shining fell over on his back gasping for air, "Oh thank goodness I can breath again!" "Well whats happening out there, and what happened to the Princess's, how did they get in such critical condition in the first place?" "Hey doc you gotta give me a second to catch my breath!" Shining sat up as every pony in the lobby that where spectating gathered around to hear Shining's words. "Well, if you want the truth, Celestia was battling against an evil magical talking dragon that has ambitions of world domination. While Cadenza was somehow sucked into the fray and all three of us Celestia Cadenza and myself finished the evil dragon Itenza off he's now a frozen stone statue!" Shining gasped for air once more. The doctor as well as the audience of spectators blinked rapidly, "Sorry I asked!" The doctor ran off for the emergency room, Shining fell over he was completely exhausted. Sweet Apple Acres Granny Smith and Big Mac where hiding underneath the kitchen table. "I hope those quacks don't come back, it's bad enough we're gonna have to rebuild the barn from scratch!" Granny turned to Big Mac, "It's a good thing no pony was inside when it collapsed... Wait a second where's Applejack?" Big Macintosh quickly ran for the door, when suddenly it slung open Pinky Pie trotted inside with several stacks of boards on her back and a wheel barrel of hammers and nails. "I got all the stuff!" Big Mac looked up to the unbelievable amount of stuff Pinky Pie had gathered. "That's... a lot... of wood... where did you... get all... of this?" Pinky Pie pushed the wheel barrel aside. "What this... This isn't even all of it, there's more wood in the front yard Applejack's counting up the supply right now." Big Mac looked outside through a window to see Applejack was very much alive he sweated dropped followed by a sigh. "Well Pinky Pie good work, we'll start rebuilding the barn tomorrow but for now you should rest!" Pinky Pie tossed all of the wood next to the wheel barrel Big Mac just admired her scary amount of strength, "OK! But can we eat first? I'm starving!" Cloudsdale Hospital Shining found his way to Colarine and Soarin with the help of a nurse who had some news for Colarine. Shining lied down on the bench next to Soarin, "I'm so tired that battle was..." Immediately Shining was out like a light. "I'm glad you can sleep cause I can't neither can Colarine!" Soarin turned to Colarine who wasn't looking to good the suspense was killing her she was sweating bullets breathing abnormally her eyes where blood shot. The nurse stood in front of Colarine she coughed making her presence known. "Colarine I've got some news for you..." Colarine's eyes widened as they teared up, Soarin looked away covering his ears. Shining snored loudly. End of Chapter 25
