In Rainbow Dash’s lesson, Rainbow was teaching the students that being there for friends is always important and what true friends really are.
“And that’s why is always important to be there for friends, even if their mind is in the wrong place and they did something they didn’t mean to do,” said Rainbow to the students as she flew in mid air.
The students and the Young Seven listened to what Rainbow just said as she continued to talk about how loyalty is important while they were all smiled, well Lightning’s smile was, a bit worried and sad in between. Rainbow quickly took notice of this and stopped talking before flew towards her nephew to see if anything’s wrong.
“Hey kid,” she said to him worriedly, “Are you feeling okay? Cause, you don’t look so happy, and now I feel worried about you. Is something wrong? Do you want me to get Fluttershy for ya?”
Lightning looked at her Auntie Rainbow as he tried to hold his tears back. The words Cozy has said to him where starting to get to him still.
“I... I’m f-f-fine Auntie Rainbow,” He said, “I-it’s just.... just...”
“Lightning, please tell me, I can help you,” she said now even more worried.
That was when Lightning couldn’t hold it any longer, he got up and ran towards his bag that he left near the opened door as he ran out of the classroom leaving every student confuse and The Young Six worried, but Rainbow was worried and confuse at the same time.
“Was it something I said?” Rainbow asked if she thought she did or said something that made him run off like that.
“Uh, Professor Rainbow,” said Gallus, “There’s something we should have told you before you started the lesson.”
Lightning didn’t run too far or away from the school, he was in the school library sitting near a book shelve holding his Bendy plushie, that he often packs in case he was upset and needs something to cuddle for awhile or so.
All of an sudden, he heard an familiar voice.
“Well, fancy seeing you here.”
Lightning turned round to see that Cozy Glow was standing near the end of the book shelve looking at him with a nasty grin on her face.
“I was wondering when you’ll show up here.”
Lightning began to shake as he fears Cozy was gonna do something to him.
“What a-are you doing h-here, Cozy?” Lightning asked shakily.
Cozy Glow walked up to him as he got up and moved back a bit to an open drain while holding his plushie.
“I just wanted to know what choice you’ve made,” she answered as they stopped by the open drain, “So, what do you say? Are you in, or out?”
Lightning still scared of the filly, but he bravely glared at her before saying, “I’m out! I’ll never be like you! I love my friends and family, and I’ll never let the past get to me!”
Cozy Glow’s smile turned into an angry frown.
“Wrong answer!” She then pushed him as hard as she could as he fell into the opened drain and landed on the ground near the big light blue crystals near the top of the drain while his Bendy plushie bounced towards one of the crystal caves.
Lightning got onto his hooves as he looked up as Cozy looked down with a grin on her face.
Cozy Glow took the drain plate and placed on the hole, closing it tightly so he couldn’t try to open it to get out.
“Enjoy your new home, Lightning,” Cozy said cruelly as she walked away while letting out an evil laugh.
Lightning kept looking up to the drain view before looking around seeing if there was another way out. But no luck, there was no way out of the crystal cave.
He then started to cry as he cried out the one pony he wanted right now, “M-Momma!”
Suddenly, he heard an echoing roar coming from one of the caves as he began to shake in fear once more. He then ran towards the cave to the right side of the crystal cave leaving his Bendy plushie behind.
Meanwhile, back in the school library, the Young Six had told Rainbow what had happened with Lightning during break time, Rainbow then asked them to go look for him while she goes tell Twilight and Fluttershy what has happened at break time today. The six were in the school library searching for him since that would be the one place he would go when he’s upset or something like that.
“Lightning!” They said together or one at a time as they searched the library from shelve to shelve.
“Lightning! Where are you?!” Silverstream called out as she checked under the tables.
“Any luck yet?” Gallus asked Yona.
“No luck yet!” Yona called out.
As Ocellus looked left and right while walking through two book shelves near each other, she saw something in the drain open sides as she got near the drain. She let out a gasp as she saw what it was. Lightning’s Bendy plushie was in the crystal cave.
“Guys!” She called out to her friends, “I think I know where Lightning is!”
The Young Five rushed towards to where Ocellus was as she pointed towards the drain as they looked through the drain open sides to see that Lightning’s Bendy plushie was in the crystal caves.
“You think little pony is in there? All alone?!” Yona asked in scared, shock and worried.
“Only one way to find out,” said Sandbar, “Let’s go into the crystal caves and tried to find him.”
Gallus and Smolder worked together to open the drain as they moved the drain plate to one side as they went inside the crystal cave, again, one at a time so they don’t get stuck. Once inside the cave, Smolder picked up the plushie before looking around the caves like the others are doing.
“Okay,” began Silverstream, “So if Lightning’s definitely in here, where could he be?”
“I don’t know,” said Smolder, “But I think we should split up to find him. I’ll go with Ocellus. Sandbar, you go with Yona and Gallus, you go with Silverstream.”
The five gave the dragon a nod in understood before they went into the three cave entrances. Sandbar and Yona went into the middle cave entrance, Gallus and Silverstream went into the right cave entrance, and Smolder and Ocellus went into the left cave entrance.
Meanwhile, Lightning was walking amount the crystal cave, trying to find another way out of the caves. Just then, he came across a big river near two medium rocks near the river and a big giant and long rock behind and near the river.
Lightning decided to walk towards the river and look at his reflection in it as a sad look appeared on his face again.
“Why did Cozy do this to me?” He said sadly, “I don’t wanna be a bad pony and hurt those that didn’t made my life a bad one before Fluttershy became my Momma.”
All of a sudden, he heard a growl that made him jump a bit and more scared than ever, he looked both left and right to see what it was before looking at the big rock near the river as he saw what happened next.
Four scary looking shadow guards appeared in transformation like somepony putting rocks together to make a tower. This made Lightning shake as he got more scared. A scared shock look on his face appeared as he saw a new shadow appeared on the rock.
The new shadow was as tall as the other four shadows, but not too tall, his arms was a bit long with claws, his head has fur around it, a medium long tail and has two pointy horns on the head. Then, two evilly blue eyes appeared on the face. The tall shadow was known as Equestria’s most dangerous threat yet gone for good.... Storm King.
Lightning never felt even more scared than his father hurting him, he then hid behind the medium rock near the river as he covered his face with his hooves and shook in fear as he was scared of the shadows while the Storm King shadow continued to growl evilly. He wished his mother was here to save him.
“S-Somepony p-please h-h-help me!” He cried as he hoped that one of his friends or family would find him.
