//------------------------------// // Attack Number Three // Story: Neighsay's Wrath against Celestia // by Robert Emerald Fountain //------------------------------// "ADMIRAL LINK, THIS IS DRACULAURA, AN ATTACK HAS OCCURRED IN THE CRYSTAL EMPIRE!!", a voice shrieked over Link's headset. Link, Brandon, and Stephen quickly responded, and rushed to help her out. They came back three hours later. Cadence was barely injured, and Shining Armor had a sprained ankle. Flurry Heart, on the other hand, was practically swaddled in bandages. She had sustained severe burns, and was almost unconscious when they found her. "The castle was on fire, and they were almost out of breath due to inhaling smoke. We got Flurry out, but she was wet and we had to change her before we could bandage her injuries.", Draculaura explained to Twilight. Twilight was in tears when she saw how badly injured her precious little niece was. "We saw a stallion dressed in black, twelve yards from the castle.", Shining Armor said. "He held up a weapon of some sort, and fired it at us." "I saw the projectile.", said Cadence. "It was an egg-shaped rocket, with fins on the back. It smashed through the doors, and exploded, setting fire to the castle." "We got them out safely, but the stallion had vanished.", Link said. Luna and Celestia began to get agitated. "THERE HAVE BEEN THREE ATTACKS IN EQUESTRIA!! NOPONY HAS SEEN NEIGHSAY, AND INNOCENT LIVES ARE BEING ENDANGERED!!", Luna roared angrily. "WE MUST STOP THIS "BLACK STALLION" BEFORE HE CAUSES TOO MUCH TROUBLE!!", Celestia responded with an equal amount of anger. Everyone yelled back in agreement.
