When i woke up, i found myself in shackles on a table, in an unknown area. All of a sudden, Pinkie bounced into view, wearing a dress with a lot of cutie marks all over it, including rainbow dash's. Plus a unicorn horn necklace, and many pairs of wings, one pair of wings looked like rainbow's.

"Great you're awake, now we can get started!" the pink pony said.

"Where are we pinkie?" i asked, adreneline now running through me.

"Oh," she answered, "with a flip of this, that'll answer your question."

She giggled, then flipped the switch. When my eyes adjusted to the light, i started to panic even more. I looked around the room, guts and bones everywhere. The thing that caught my eye the most, was the statue of a pony, wings and cutie mark missing, my heart sank when i saw it, it was rainbow dash. I fell into tears the instant i saw her, just lifeless.

"Oh," the pink pony said when she noticed me crying, "i see you found dashie, i was super exited when she was here, though, she only lasted 50 minutes, not nearly how long i wanted her to last, i wanted her to last 2 hours, i should've taken it a little slower, oh well."

Suddenly, we both heard hoof steps coming down from upstairs, the other crusaders had come to find me.

"Scootaloo, are you in here?" apple bloom asked

"I'm in here!" i called out to them, "hurry, you have to see this!"

When they entered, their mouths fell open at the sight, me, the decorations, pinkie pie, and dash.

"What in equestria happened in here!?" sweetie bell broke the silence after about 5 seconds, stunned.

"No time to explain, hurry, get me out of here before pinkie kills me," I ushered them to stop pinkie pie before she shoved something in my mouth.

"Shut up you little filly," she said after stuffing the thing in my mouth

"Don't worry scootaloo," apple bloom said, trying to buck pinkie to unconsciousness, "we'll save you!"

Then, she hit her target, and knocked pinkie unconscious

"I'll use my magic to cut those shackles," sweetie bell said, igniting her horn and shooting a magic beam to the shackles that held me still, once they were cut, i slipped off the table and took the thing out of my mouth.

"Thanks girls," i said to them, relived.

"There's no time for thanks," apple bloom said, convincing, "we need to call the guards, and get you out of here."

Me and sweetie bell agreed, and went upstairs to get the phone. As we did so, i happen to catch a glimpse of pinkie, still lying in the corner of the room, leg now starting to twitch.
