//------------------------------// // 6. Horrifying discoveries // Story: The Elements of Disharmony: A Queen's Revenge // by Italibaso //------------------------------// Smolder held the hatch open for her friends and watched them climb out one by one. The orange dragon closed the hatch right after Gallus was the last one to exit the catacombs. The first thing that caught their attention was the clear absence of any source of light in the school library. ''Is it nighttime already?'' Sandbar asked in surprise. ''We must have been down there for quite a while, huh?'' Smolder said. ''Aren't there any lights in this library?'' Gallus asked as he looked around at the dark ceiling. ''Of course there are,' Sandbar answered, ''But no one ever comes here at night, except for us. So that's when the lights are usually off.'' ''I guess that makes sense.'' Gallus said. ''Come on,'' Smolder quickly said, ''We have to get to Twilight and her friends!'' ''Smolder's right,'' Ocellus said, ''If things are as bad as the Tree of Harmony implied they are, then we must hurry.'' ''Then what Yona and friends waiting for,'' Yona said as she was already walking away from the hatch, ''Time for Yona and friends to-'' Yona stopped mid-sentence when she suddenly felt something grabbing her around her leg. It pulled on her ankle, causing the small yak to lose her balance. She tripped and her face hit the ground with a loud smack. ''Yona!'' Sandbar said, sounding very concerned as he quickly went to check on the fallen yak, ''Are you alright?'' Sandbar watched over Yona with a worried look as small stars circled around her head. Yona eventually got up from the floor and shook her head wildly, causing the circling stars to disappear. ''Yona fine,'' Yona said before looking at her back leg, ''But what Yona trip over?'' She saw that some kind of long, dark green rope had been tied around her back hoof. ''It looks like a vine.'' Sandbar said as he took a closer look at Yona's ankle. ''A vine?'' Smolder said as she stood next to Sandbar before looking at the vine around Yona's ankle. Smolder grabbed the vine with her claws and untied it. ''Why would there be-'' Smolder stopped talking when she and her friends looked at what had become of the library. The whole library looked like a giant mess. Books had fallen from their shelfs, their pages were torn and had scattered all over the place. The same dark green vines that had tied itself around Yona's leg could be seen crawling everywhere. Some of them were slowly moving through the shells while others came through the shattered window and into the library. ''Since when did the school turn into a jungle?'' Silverstream asked while looking flabbergasted at the moving vines. ''It must have something to do with the dark magic that's corrupting the Tree of Harmony right now.'' Ocellus explained. ''How do you know that?'' Gallus asked. ''Of course,'' Sandbar soon realized, ''Because the Tree of Harmony controls all the plant life in the Everfree Forest, right?'' ''Exactly,'' Ocellus said, ''And that dark magic must have caused the Everfree Forest to grow out of control.'' ''Then let's go find our teachers and tell them what we know.'' Smolder said before heading towards the exit. The others followed her while doing their best to avoid all the vines. After making it out of the library, they all split up and searched the school for Twilight and her friends. Every classroom, every hall and every office that existed inside the building. But no matter which place they searched, each of them looked the same as the other. Empty, quiet, littered with torn books that had fallen out of school bags. And they could not take two steps without running into the same vines that they encountered in the library. There was not a single pony or creature to be seen, no voice or sound to be heard, aside from the vines and plants that were moving throughout the school. After many minutes of looking through and double checking every place inside the school, the six creatures met back at the school's main entrance, which was blocked by even more vines and plants than they saw before. ''Where did everyone go?'' Gallus asked the others. ''No idea,'' Smolder said, ''But something's definitely doesn't feel right here.'' ''Do you suppose our teachers evacuated the school because of this crazy plant infestation?'' Gallus asked. ''Could be,'' Ocellus answered, ''But if that's the case, then where would they all go?'' ''I don't know,'' Sandbar said, ''The last time something like this happened, all of Ponyville was nearing uninhabitable.'' ''Relax, I'm sure our teachers already went to solve the problem,'' Silverstream suggested, trying to sound positive, ''They've probably already figured it out on their own, like they always do.'' ''There's only one way to find out.'' Smolder said before turning her attention over to the vines blocking the main entrance. The orange dragon took a deep breath and breathed fire at the vines, causing them to slowly disintegrated before turning into a pile of ash. ''Nice one, Smolder!'' Silverstream said. ''No problem,'' Smolder said, ''Now let's go!'' Smolder and her friends approached the main entrance of the school and together they pushed each side of the big door wide open. After crossing the pond in front of the School of Friendship, they saw that things didn't look much better outside. The school itself was completely covered in vines, it was almost unrecognizable. Their heads soon turned towards Ponyville and looked shocked when they saw the horrifying sight before them. The once lively and peaceful Ponyville looked completely abandoned. The houses were full of cracks, windows were shattered and everything was even more overgrown with plant life than they could have imagined. There was not a single pony or creature to be seen. Sandbar quickly rushed over to Ponyville without saying a word, much to the suprise of his friends, who immediately followed him. Once arriving in Ponyville, things began to look even bleaker than any of them could bear. Everyone of them looked around in horror while walking around the messy town, seeing plants and vines littered around at every corner of Ponyville. Most of houses they walked past were almost completely in ruins, barely having survived whatever it was that caused them to fall apart like that. And even worse, Twilight Sparkle and her friends were nowhere to be found. ''It's even worse than the last time this happened.'' Sandbar said while looking at the destruction around him. ''Who or what caused this?'' Yona asked with a worried look on her face. ''Did the plants do this?'' Smolder asked. ''I'm not sure,'' Ocellus said, ''I think it would take alot more than just some plants for Ponyville to end up like this.'' ''This is all getting stranger and stranger by the minute,'' Gallus said while trying to process what he saw, ''And coming from me, that's saying alot.'' Sandbar looked in the distance and gasped when he saw a particular house completely in ruins. ''Oh no,'' Sandbar said in shock. He immediately ran over to the big pile of rubble. ''Sandbar?'' Smolder said before chasing after him, ''Where are you going?!'' Ocellus, Gallus, Yona and Silverstream all looked at each other for a second before following suit. Sandbar stopped in front of the piles of rubble and watched in agony, ''It can't be,'' He said to himself quietly in a worried tone. ''Is that your home?'' Gallus asked Sandbar while looking concerned. Sandbar slowly nodded and lowered his head, ''You don't suppose that my family is....'' He said, finding it hard to finish his sentence. He tried his best to hold back tears as he thought about what could have happened. ''Hey, it's okay,'' Silverstream said reassuringly, ''I'm sure your family is alright.'' Gallus looked down for a bit before placing his claw on Sandbar's shoulder, ''We'll find your family, Sandbar.'' He said determinedly. Sandbar lifted his head up and looked at his friends, ''Thanks,'' He said while giving a warm smile, ''I don't know what I'd do without you.'' ''So where are Twilight and friends now,'' Yona asked, ''Yona not know any other place they could be.'' ''Maybe they're still at the Tree of Harmony in the Everfree Forest.'' Silverstream suggested. ''That would make the most sense for them to do.'' Ocellus said. ''It's our best bet.'' Sandbar said. ''The Everfree what now?'' Gallus asked curiously. ''You'll see,'' Smolder said to Gallus, ''Come on.'' She and her friends headed out of Ponyville and towards the Everfree Forest. Sandbar and his friends all stood in front of the entrance of the Everfree Forest, where they were met with a big problem. The Forest was even more invested with vines and plants than Ponyville and the School of Friendship combined, if that was even possible. It looked even more dangerous than they've could ever imagined and blocked most of the entrance to the forest. ''Are you sure Twilight and her friends went in there?'' Gallus asked while taking in the sight of the dangerous forest. ''We should at least take a look.'' Ocellus said. ''Any ideas on how to get through the forest?'' Sandbar asked. ''Looks like Yona and friends have to fight way through forest.'' Yona said as she got ready to rush in. ''Or we can always just fly over it.'' Smolder said. ''But Yona and Sandbar not have wings.'' Yona said. ''No problem,'' Smolder said. ''The rest of us can just carry you.'' ''That does seem like the safer option.'' Sandbar said while looking the plant infested forest. ''Then that's what we're going with,'' Smolder said determinedly, ''Silverstream, give me a claw.'' Silverstream and Smolder both grabbed Yona under her arms and lifted her up from the ground while Gallus did the same with Sandbar. ''I'll lead the way to the Tree of Harmony,'' Ocellus said as she flew up into the air with the others. Ocellus flew over the Everfree forest with her friends following her. During their flight they all saw what had become of the Everfree Forest as they looked down. Everything had become much more dangerous than it seemed at the entrance. The whole forest was infested with dangerous looking plants, some of them even having mouths with razor sharp teeth. ''Maybe they should have called this the Forbidden Forest instead.'' Gallus said as he looked down. ''I may love me some adventure,'' Smolder said proudly, ''But that doesn't mean I wanna put my friends in unnecessary danger.'' ''Huh?'' Ocellus said to herself when she noticed something green glowing down in the forest. In one of the small open spots she could see something shining close to a tree. The blue changeling stopped in midair and focused all of her attention to the green light source., ''What is it, Ocellus?'' Smolder asked when she noticed Ocellus looking very focused at something in the forest. ''I see something glowing down there.'' Ocellus said while pointing at the open spot. Silverstream looked down to where Ocellus was pointing, "Is it a green lantern?" She asked curiously while looking at the green light. "I'm not sure," Ocellus said as she flew closer to where the light came from. When she saw the source of the green glowing light, she let out a small gasp. ''What's wrong?'' Gallus asked. ''It's a changeling cocoon,'' Ocellus answered while taking a closer look, ''And there's a pony inside!'' ''Who is it?!'' Sandbar asked. ''I don't know,'' Ocellus answered. ''I've never seen her before.'' ''Gallus, fly us closer to the cocoon.'' Sanbar said as he turned his head to Gallus. ''Got it.'' Gallus responded. The blue griffin did as he was told and lowered himself a bit closer to the cocoon for Sandbar. The young pony looked back down at the forest and widened his eyes in surprise when he saw a pink unicorn with a purple mane inside the green cocoon. ''It's Sugar Belle!'' Sandbar shouted. ''Who?'' Gallus asked while raising his eyebrow. ''She's Big Mac's marefriend.'' Sandbar answered him. ''Who's Big Mac?'' Gallus asked again. ''He's Applejack's brother.'' Sandbar answered him again. ''Who's Appleja-?'' ''Explain it some other time,'' Smolder said, interruping Gallus, ''We have to get her out first.'' ''Oh, right.'' Gallus said. ''But how can we reach her,'' Sandbar asked while looking at the flesh eating plants close to Sugar Belle's cocoon, ''If we get too close to the forest, those plants will surely attack us.'' ''Maybe one of us can distract them so that the others can free Sugar Belle from the cocoon.'' Ocellus suggested. ''Leave the last part to me,'' Smolder said with a smirk on her face. ''I'll have her out of that slimy thing in 10 seconds flat.'' ''But who's gonna be the distraction,'' Gallus asked, ''I mean, most of us kind of have our claws full.'' Ocellus showed a worried look on her face and sighed,'' It's gonna have to be me, isn't it?'' She said while sounding a little scared. ''Something the matter, Ocellus?'' Smolder asked her, noticing the tone in the blue changeling's voice. Ocellus gulped when she looked down at the forest and saw the flesh eating plants maneuvering around Sugar Belle's cocoon. ''Hello?! Are you there?'' Smolder asked her. Ocellus turned to Smolder with a sad look on her face, ''I don't know if I can do it.'' ''You're not scared, are you?'' Smolder asked. ''I uh...'' Ocellus said stutteringly. ''I guess that's a yes,'' Gallus suddenly said before he sighed, ''.....Then I'll do it.'' Ocellus and the others all turned their eyes on Gallus and looked suprised. ''Really?'' Ocellus asked. ''Sure,'' Gallus said with a confident smile as he flew with Sandbar towards Ocellus, ''It's the least I can do for my friends.'' Ocellus giggled a little as a smile appeared on her face, ''Thank you.'' ''Don't mention it,'' Gallus said reassuringly, ''But can you hold Sandbar for me in the meantime?'' ''No problem.'' Ocellus said before she transformed herself into a giant bug. Gallus looked a bit suprised at her transformation before carefully and gently handing the young pony over to Ocellus. ''Silverstream, think you can hold Yona all by yourself?'' Smolder asked. ''Of course,'' Silverstream said with a confident smile, ''Hippogriffs are stronger than you think.'' ''If you say so,'' Smolder said. She removed her claws from under Yona's arms as Silverstream quickly placed both her arms under Yona's. ''See?'' Silverstream said while grunting a little with a nervous smile, ''Light as a feather.'' ''Are you ready, Smolder?'' Gallus asked as he flew over to the orange dragon. ''Ready when you are, pal!'' Smolder answered confidently. ''Then let's do this.'' Gallus said before he and Smolder gave each other a fist bump. Gallus didn't waste any time and flew down to the forest, ''Hey, stupid plants! Over here!'' He shouted in order to get the plants's attention. It wasn't long before some of the flesh eating plants took notice of the blue griffin approaching them. They stretched their heads out from the forest and started chasing Gallus around in the air. While Gallus kept maneuvering around the plants as a distraction, Smolder took her chance and quickly flew down to Sugar Belle's cocoon. She aimed a small burst of her fire breath at the top of the cocoon, causing it to detach itself from the branch and fall to the ground. The cocoon hit the ground, bursted open and left behind a big pile of green slime around Sugar Belle, who was still unconscious. Smolder didn't waste another second and quickly flew over to Sugar Belle. She grabbed the pink unicorn under her arms, lifted her up from the pile of green slime and carried her out of the forest as fast as she could. ''I got her!'' Smolder shouted when she looked over to the blue griffin, who was still keeping the plants busy. Silverstream kept grunting while sweat started dripping from her forehead, trying her best to keep Yona in the air. Eventually the young hippogriff started to descend down to the forest while still carrying Yona under her arms. ''Gallus, help!'' Silverstream shouted while flapping her wings as fast as she could, ''I can't hold on much longer!'' Gallus heard Silverstream's call, turned around and immediately flew over to her. Meanwhile, one of the flesh eating plants in the forest took notice of the two creatures slowly descending down towards him. The plant licked it's lips and opened it's mouth wide. Gallus saw what the plant was doing and decided to pick up the pace. Just as the plant was about to devour the two creatures, Gallus quickly placed his claws under Yona's arms along with Silverstream. ''Gotcha!'' Gallus said as he helped Silverstream lift Yona higher up into the air. The flesh eating plant missed them only by a few inches. Silverstream could finally breathe normally again as Gallus helped her hold Yona in the air. ''Thanks, Gallus.'' Silverstream said while giving the blue hippogriff a relieved smile. ''Don't mention it,'' Gallus said before looking down at the flesh eating plants, ''That was too close.'' ''That's the second time you've saved me.'' Silverstream said while looking at Gallus with a warm smile. ''When was the first time?'' Gallus asked as he looked back at Silverstream. ''Back when you helped me face my fears when the Tree of Harmony tested us for the first time,'' Silverstream explained, ''Don't you remember?'' Gallus answered Silverstream's question with a confused look. ''Oh, right,'' Silverstream said with a nervous smile, ''Sorry, guess I forgot to tell you about that.'' ''Yona not mean to interrupt,'' Yona said, ''But Yona arms getting tired.'' ''I was just about to say the same thing.'' Sandbar added. ''They're right, we better keep going.'' Ocellus said. She led the others to the giant ravine that she was able to see further in the distance. It didn't take long until Ocellus and her friends reached the bridge that hung above the ravine close to the Castle of the Two Sisters. One by one they flew down to the front of the bridge. Smolder gently placed Sugar Belle on the ground while Ocellus put Sandbar down and transformed herself back to her original form. Gallus and Silverstream both placed Yona back on her feet. Yona quickly started kissing the ground below her as soon as she landed. The rest sighed in relief, happy to finally be away from the dangerous parts of the forest ''You have to admit,'' Smolder said confidently, ''I did pretty good back there.'' ''Only because I distracted those plants for you.'' Gallus remaked with a smug grin. ''Maybe,'' Smolder said, ''But I still did the most important part.'' ''Which was only possible thanks to me.'' Gallus said back. ''Fair point, but still-'' ''I'd say you both were equally amazing.'' Silverstream said playfully, interrupting Smolder's sentence. ''I guess I can live with that too.'' Smolder said while shrugging. Yona smiled at the two before looking over at Sugar Belle, ''Why was pretty pony in cocoon?'' She asked curiously. ''That must have been the work of Queen Chrysalis.'' Smolder answered her. Ocellus's head looked down at ground for a moment as soon as she heard that name. ''Who's Queen Chrysalis?'' Gallus asked, sounding slightly curious. Ocellus didn't respond and instead kept looking down an upset look on her face. ''Did I say something wrong?'' Gallus asked worriedly when looking at Ocellus. ''No,'' Ocellus said as her upset expression quickly got replaced by a face filled with guilt, ''I just......don't like talking about her.'' ''What do you mean?'' Gallus asked, ''Do you know her?'' Ocellus took a deep breath, ''She was once queen of the changelings before Thorax took the throne,'' She explained calmly, ''I always used to look up to her when I was small, until she revealed herself to be nothing more than a lying, manipulative monster who only cares about her own interests.'' ''Oh,'' Gallus said while looking down with a conflicted look, ''But what did she do?'' ''I don't wanna talk about that.'' Ocellus answered him, sounding like she was about to cry. ''It's alright, Ocellus,'' Smolder said as she patted Ocellus's shoulder, ''You don't have to.'' Yona was still looking at Sugar Belle, who was laying on the ground. The pink unicorn barely moved and was still covered in some of the green goo. Yona placed her hoof on Sugar Belle's shoulder and gently shook her body. ''Pretty pony, wake up.'' Yona said. She waited for a response, but Sugar Belle still layed on the ground motionlessly with her eyes closed. ''How is she doing?'' Sandbar asked as he stood right next to Yona. ''Pretty pony barely moving.'' Yona answered. Sandbar took a closer look at Sugar Belle and began to notice that the pink unicorn was still breathing calmly through her nostrils. ''She's still breathing,'' Sandbar explained to his friends, ''She's probably just asleep.'' ''Then she must be a very heavy sleeper if she can sleep through all that.'' Smolder said while looking back into the Everfree Forest. ''Let's wake her up,'' Gallus suggested, ''Maybe she knows what happened to everyone.'' ''Hey, Sugar Belle,'' Sandbar said a little louder, ''Wake up!'' They all waited a few seconds, but Sugar Belle still kept on sleeping. ''Yona tried that already.'' Yona said. ''Maybe she drank some kind of sleeping potion.'' Silverstream said while rubbing her chin. Ocellus noticed something small glowing from under Sugar Belle's eyelids. She moved her head closer to the sleeping pony and could see a glimpse of green light glowing between the very tiny gaps of her eyelids. ''Hey, guys,'' Ocellus said, which got the attention of her friends, ''Take a look at this.'' Gallus and the others gathered around Ocellus and looked down at Sugar Belle. The blue changeling carefully placed her hoof slightly above Sugar Belle's right eyelid and carefully pulled it up. All of them gasped when they saw the bright, green light glowing from the right eye. ''I've seen this before,'' Ocellus explained, ''She's been put under a spell. And I think I already know by whom.'' ''Chrysalis.'' Smolder answered, to which Ocellus nodded. ''She must have been up to something again.'' Ocellus said with slight concern. ''Like what?'' Silverstream asked, ''She can't do any harm without her changeling army, right?'' ''Don't underestimate her, Silverstream,'' Ocellus said, ''She's not one to give up so easily. Believe me, I know what she's like.'' ''Let's not worry about that for now,'' Sandbar said, ''We gotta stay focused on finding Twilight and her friends first.'' ''I guess you're right.'' Ocellus said, still sounding a little worried. ''What about Pretty Pony?'' Yona asked. ''I'm sure Twilight and her friends will know what to do once we find them.'' Silverstream answered. ''IF we find them.'' Smolder said. ''Come on, Smolder,'' Silverstream said, ''Our teachers can handle anything, they'll be fine.'' ''I guess,'' Smolder said, ''But still, I got a bad feeling about all this.'' Gallus noticed something when looking down into the ravine, ''Is that big, black crystal tree down there the Tree of Harmony by any chance?'' He asked as he pointed to where he saw the tree. ''What?!'' Gallus's friends shouted at the same time. They joined him in looking down into the ravine where the Tree of Harmony is supposed to be. What was once the Tree of Harmony, now looked more like the Tree of Disharmony. Any resemblance of the beauty from the tree was almost completely gone. Instead it had turned into a black, dark, dreary looking tree that was mostly wrapped in the same black, thorned vines as the ones in the Everfree Forest. Many dark crystals that seemed to have appeared from the ground surrounded the area around the Tree of Harmony. A bit furhter away from the cave of the tree they saw a tall, oddly shaped statue that was covered in the same dark crystals. ''Sweet Celestia.'' Sandbar said while staring at the Tree of Harmony. ''Wait a minute,'' Gallus said when he took notice of the oddly shaped statue, ''That looks like.....'' Sandbar looked over to the statue that Gallus's eyes were aiming at. Two different horns, the long body and all of it's limbs that looked like they each came from a different animal. He gasped as he quickly recognize who the statue was. ''Discord!'' Sandbar said out loud. ''What happened to him?'' Gallus asked curiously. ''No idea,'' Smolder answered, ''Let's take a closer look.'' ''We can take the stairs!'' Silverstream said, sounding overly excited as she pointed at the giant staircase leading down into the ravine. Gallus gave Silverstream both a surprised and confused look, ''And what exactly is so special about that?'' ''She gets excited very easily about the smallest things.'' Smolder explained to Gallus with a playful grin. ''You could say that again.'' Gallus said as he stared at Silverstream, who stared at the long flight of stairs in pure delight. Yona placed Sugar Belle on her back and carefully walked down the giant stairs along with Sandbar, all while trying not to trip over any of the vines that decorated some parts of the stairs. Silverstream, Ocellus, Gallus and Smolder all flew close to them and made their way to the Tree of Harmony. Eventually they reached the bottom of the ravine and got a better look at the dark statue. ''It really is Discord!'' Sandbar said while looking at the statue with wide eyes. ''Has he been turned into stone again by the Elements of Harmony?'' Smolder asked curiously. ''No way,'' Ocellus said, ''Why would Twilight and her friends-'' ''The elements!'' Sandbar shouted, interrupting Ocellus as he was already standing close to the Tree of Harmony, ''They're gone!'' His friends all looked and gasped when they saw that the Elements of Harmony were indeed no longer in the branches of the tree. ''That means Twilight and her friends must have been here,'' Ocellus said, ''No one else can wield the elements.'' ''Is that why the Tree now looks like this?'' Gallus asked. ''No, that can't be,'' Sandbar said. ''The Tree of Harmony should still have magic inside it, even without the elements. It has to be the cause of that dark magic the Tree of Harmony was talking about.'' ''But who else could have turned Discord back into stone?'' Smolder asked while looking over at the spiked Discord statue, ''I thought only the Elements of Harmony had that kind of power.'' ''I'm not so sure,'' Sandbar said while looking at the statue, ''Discord's statue didn't look anything like this the first time Twilight and her friends defeated him. There's a good chance it could have been something else.'' ''Something more powerful than Elements of Harmony?'' Yona asked with an anxious tone in her voice. ''It's still too early to say, but it is a possibility.'' Sandbar answered. ''If only Professor Rarity were here,'' Silverstream said, ''Her divine detective skills could solved this mystery in less than a day.'' ''I have no idea what's going on anymore,'' Gallus said while placing his claw on his face, ''So I'm just gonna pretend this all makes sense.'' ''Let's just keep on looking for Twilight and her friends,'' Sandbar suggested, ''There's nothing else we can do here.'' ''Any suggestions on where they could be right now?'' Smolder asked. Ocellus thought for a moment while rubbing her chin, ''Didn't Spike tell us that they left for some kind of emergency with Princess Celestia?'' ''You're right,'' Silverstream said, ''So maybe they're in Canterlot right now.'' ''It's our best bet,'' Sandbar said while rubbing his chin, ''I say that we head to the Ponyville Train station and travel to Canterlot!'' ''Yona ready to go!'' Yona said before reaching out her hoof. ''Me too!'' Smolder said with great confidence as she placed her claw on Yona's hoof ''Count me in!'' Sandbar said while placing his hoof on top of Yona's. ''Let's do it.'' Ocellus said as placing her hoof on Sandbar's. ''It's time for another Friendship Adventure!'' Silverstream said excitedly before placing her claw on Ocellus's hoof. ''If you're all in,'' Gallus said before placing his claw on Silverstream's, ''Then so am I!'' They all got ready to leave the Everfree Forest. Ocellus transformed herself into a giant bug again, grabbed Sugar Belle from Yona's back, held her in her arms and flew up into the air. Meanwhile both Silverstream and Smolder grabbed Yona under her arms, lifted her up into the air and they got closer to Ocellus. Gallus grabbed Sandbar under both of his arms and did the same thing as the others. ''I can see the station over there.'' Sandbar said while pointing at the train station in the distance, which thankfully was still intact despite all of the destruction around Ponyville. ''Alrighty,'' Silverstream said, ''Canterlot, here we come!'' She and her friends flew above the Everfree Forest and headed to the Ponyville train station.
