Applejack was kind enough to take Fluttershy to the hospital in her truck. It was a pick up truck so she had Rarity ride in the front with her because she didn't want to get her new dress dirty. Everyone else sucked it up and got in the back. 

"Isn't it illegal to be riding back here?" Twilight questioned Pinkie Pie and Rainbow Dash as they sat in the truck bed. It was a bumpy ride and they could feel every bump and pothole in the road. 

"Ow!"Exclaimed Rainbow Dash as she felt her butt getting bruised. "You would think that this city would have enough money to fix these holes. My butt is getting sore."

"Twilight, it's only illegal if we get caught. Dashie, it's not all bad. Look how high I can bounce on the next bump! Whee!" Pinky started bouncing around. 

Applejack stuck her head out the window. "Pinkie!" She scolded her. "I don't want to get a ticket for this before we even get to the hospital."

"She's right Pinkie.' Said Sunset Shimmer. "We're doing this for Fluttershy, so let's try to stay out of trouble."

"Ok." Said Pinkie as her mood deflated a little. 

Meanwhile...

Sombra had taken Cozy Glow back to the castle in the last place he was in and revealed that the princesses and the other 5 of the mane 6 were very much alive. He also had Pony Twilight's entire family there too. Her parents, her brother, her sister in law Cadence and Flurry Heart. Celestia and Luna were there as well but very weak from the loss of magic. Discord the Draconequus was there too for some reason. 

"Hey! I'll have you know I am the readers favorite part of this fanfic." He said as he made time stop around him just so we as an audience can focus on him. Not you specifically, just your human counterpart.

"Let me see those last few chapters." He said as he snatched my phone from my hands. "Bla bla bla romance." He made a cup of coffee appear in his hands and he took a sip just to spit it out then made the cup dissapear. "Our human counterparts are having a baby?" He looked to pony Fluttershy who was chained up next to him. "Well that's farther than I have gone with my Fluttershy. We barely made it out of the friend zone." He handed my phone back. "Alright. Let's keep going. Action!" With that time went back to normal. 

Flurry Heart was placed in a cage seeing as she was too small to be chained up like everyone else. Like the last time Tirek took over he made sure to strip everyone of their magic. 

"Surprise! They're not really dead. As if it would be that dark. But a lot of ponies did die." Said Discord once again doing the time stop thing despite not having any magic powers. Discord! Can you not?

"Haha. Sorry. But this isn't stopping time this is a soliloquy. Look it up! I know you're reading this on your phone or smart device. Well.. Let's keep the story going." The plot moved forward again. 

"I know what a soliloquy is. If you would stop doing that we could continue with the torturing." Said Tirek as he began to grow impatient with Discord's antics. 

"Awwww! I don't wanna!" Discord pouted.

Tirek groaned and snapped his fingers, making a muzzle appear over Discord's face. It shut him up. 

Discord shares a few hand gestures while Tirek focused his attention on the princesses. 

"Why are you doing this Tirek?" Asked Princess Celestia as she struggled against the collar around her neck. 

"I plan to keep you alive long enough so you can watch the world you once knew become mine and know that there was nothing you could do to stop me from doing it. While killing is enjoyable, it doesn't compare to keeping you alive and making you suffer. Now you will know how I felt when you made me suffer." 

"I thought it was your own brother who sent you to Tartarus?" Asked Pinkie Pie. 

"Silence! You will not speak unless you are spoken to." He took out a whip and lashed at the wall next to them. "Anyone else who speaks out of turn will get whipped. Do I make myself clear?" The mane 5 gulped. "Crystal." They all spoke at almost the same time. They were all badly bruised from fighting. 

"Good. Now, tell me where Princess Twilight is and no one gets hurt."
