This was not however including the fact her home had been trashed, her brothers and pets kidnapped. This was even discounting the fact the idiots had tried to burn books, in her home. That alone was enough for her friends to do their best to make sure that she was constantly reminded of who she was mad at and for every pony to be on their best behavior. Their friend could be considered dangerous at the best of times, when she was focused on something that pissed her off, particularly without Rahs or Spike here to calm her, the other mane six tended to get worried. And Big Mac suddenly had delivers to make in another town. What Twilight was currently mad at was that she had to wait to find out where her brothers were before she could bring down the stars on the fool heads of these ponies. She'd apologize to Princess Luna after the fact. Only two things were keeping Twilight from blowing something up just to vent right now. The first was that at least three ponies in the room were not hiding from her, but behind her, using her as a shield to protect them from another mare in the room. Across the room currently looking in a rather sizable duffle bag sat Fluttershy. The mare had progressively grown colder the more she explained about PETA to Twilight. Twilight on the other hoof had grown hotter the more the soft mare spoke. Neither of their expressions changed though out any of the conversation, though Rainbow Dash swore there was a weather system forming between the two. Even Pinkie Pie seemed to be on her tippy hooves. She wasn't bouncing around or talking she was sitting there calmly as if waiting for Fluttershy to ask her to do something else. So far all Fluttershy had done was check the supplies in the bag. Applejack was certain she had seen some heavy duty bolt cutters, Rarity claimed she had seen a number of cans of spray paint., and Rainbow Dash swore the glass bottles secured in the bag were molotovs. The others had helped clean up though, of course currently they were wondering if they could make it to the door and into a shelter some where before something gave. Thankfully everything stalled as a green burst of flame appeared over Twilight's horn and a scroll fell to the ground. Twilight picked it up and unrolled it recognizing Spikes claw writing. “Dear Twilight, Rahs and I tagged along with a bunch of idiots who thought they were ' rescuing us' from you. I suppose you saw the note by now. Rahs opted to stick with them until they made it to their destination which seems to be Filly Delphia or near to it, to listen to the cart pullers talk anyway. Mr. Whipple, Angel and Henrietta are with him so tell Fluttershy not to worry. Not sure why she would, I mean it is Angel. Might want to tell Princess Celestia to up get a bunch of tax funds ready to pay for THAT disaster waiting to happen. The idiots dumped me near a place called Twin Peaks Nature Reserve. I should have known they were too cheap to take me all the way to the Dragon Lands. Still there's a mess of dragons here so I suppose it's a stop in that Dragon Migration thing that a lot of dragons still do. Owlowicious is with me and I'm gonna go see if any of them know Bleu or if I can learn any proper dragony things from them. I expect to see you before night fall really, as these guys made it out here in like five hours. And if Princess Celestia isn't messing with the sun again it looks like it's about four, I know you girls were coming back from the farm about two or so, so there's sandwiches in the fridge, you'll have to make your own tea though. Sincerely Spike.” Twilight read before setting down the letter. “Well it's good to see that they are both okay.” Rarity chimed in starting to back towards the kitchen.” I'll go start the tea and get the sandwiches yes?” “Rahs went with them willingly... And he left Spike alone in the woods?!” Twilight snarled.” First I'm going to blast these PETA idiots into plasma motes, then I'm gonna beat whats left with HIM!” “Tah be fair, outta tha three of yah I trust Spike tah be on his own tha most.” Applejack chimed in. “Alright so Twilight, Rainbow Dash, and Rarity will go get Spike, Applejack will stay here in case the Princesses catch wind of this some how, and Pinkie and I will go deal with PETA.” Fluttershy stated in a tone that almost sounded like an order. “Oh no, I want to deal with those idiots myself.” Twilight fumed. “Okay so Rainbow Dash, Rarity, and Twilight will go get Spike and me and Pinkie Pie will go deal with PETA.” Fluttershy stated. “Okay that's better …. wait a minute.” Twilight stated glaring at Fluttershy. “Twilight dealing with an organization like this requires a bit of finesse and a certain sort of kindness that I'm afraid you aren't able to muster in this state. Besides Pinkie and I will be meeting some friends of ours along the way to help us.”Fluttershy explained. “Dealing with an organization like them is just as easy as dealing with an individual like them. Best done with excessive force.” Twilight stated. “Which you might need to do to some Dragons to help Spike. We can deal with some ponies, but you're the only one who can deal with dragons.” Pinkie Pie added. Twilight blinked.” But you did better with that last dragon than we did.” Twilight protested. “Which I am never going to do again because dragons terrify me.” Fluttershy stated. “What ah wanna know is why am ah tha one who has tah deal with the Princesses if they show up?” Applejack asked. “Dude when the options are go with a super pissed off Twilight, or Fluttershy in a state that has me worried, I believe you got the best deal here.” Dash shuddered. “Did you wish to swap?” Rarity called from the kitchen. “Ah ain't gonna argue with um.” Applejack shook her head.” They say I stay ah'm staying, ah just was curious why.” “Better to just smile and nod..” Dash muttered. [Filly Delphia, Ponies for the Ethical Treatment of Animals main HQ] Rahs was annoyed, but more that he did it to himself than anything else. He was currently wedged into a six by six cage, that he could neither stand up or stretch out in. Surrounding him were a ton of other animals all barking meowing and causing a great deal of a ruckuses. He had dropped Henrietta off outside the compound on the way in and had hidden Angel bunny in his coat before dropping him off some where in the hall way while pretending the unicorns sleep spell worked on him again. During the trek hauling him to the cell he was in, he had caused two ponies to fall down a flight of stairs, set off the fire alarm at least twice caused a ridiculous number of bruises and abrasions and gotten at least one of the stallions to sing soprano with a well timed shift, that had caused a ponies hoof to slip and hit just in the right spot. All in all it had been a fun trip, HAH, and in managing to take a few bites out of the attempted magic used to carry him ,he gave at least a half dozen unicorns headaches too. Pity their flavors were so bland. He thought one might have been a bit fruity and another bitter but the others he couldn't tell apart. Still Rahs had to smirk as he looked over at the type of pen he was in, clearly they thought him some sort of dumb animal as the door was a simple latch that he could easily lift with a claw. With a small flick he was out of the pen and stretching, for a group that wanted to free animals from enslavement they certainly had a lot of them in cages, and not all of them looked that healthy either. Pity he couldn't speak with them like Fluttershy could, but he'd be sure to cause some chaos on their behalf before he'd rescue them himself, provided Twilight didn't get here first. Granted Rahs hoped she went to get Spike first, he had a few plans to enact. [Twin Peaks Nature Reserve.] Spike flung himself up atop of the edge of the rock face panting as he lay there. Down in the fiery volcanic cauldron below there were easily a hundred different dragons. Mostly adults who were laying about the edges of the cauldron, occasionally snapping at each other when another one got too close. He wasn't about to bother any of them, down in the lower part of the cauldron closer to the lava was a gathering of what looked like smaller dragons, teenagers or so. They seemed to be fighting as well in truth. They might have been the least dangerous, but Spike had a few encounters with teenagers in Canterlot and was a bit wary. Still it would have been pointless to climb up here for nothing. “Whoo” Owlowiscious stated as he landed nearby. “Yeah I know, that's a good question. Who do I go talk to.... ahh there we go.” Spike smiled spotting another group that was more likely to answer what he asked. “Whoo?” Owlowiscious asked. “Them” Spike pointed.” Look just keep an eye out for Twilight would you. I know she's going to be coming here soon.” Owlowiscious rolled his eyes and flew off leaving Spike to waddle down into the volcano. He'd keep an eye on Spike as best he could, but in this situation he rather hoped Spike knew what he was doing.
