Rainbow Dash opened her eyes. She sat on a cold stone slab, Iron bars kept her inside the deep dark cell she was viewing. She couldn't escape. The memories of what had just happened lay in her mind, and she was thinking them over. She went with Fluttershy to the ruins. She found the necklace. She entered the temple. Then the dark ponies arrived. She was smacked in the face. She told Fluttershy to r- "Fluttershy!" she screamed, Cutting off her thoughts. Was her friend alright? she had no idea. She hated how helpless she felt, she was looking for anyone to blame. And right now, the blame was on the armored ponies. "Hey! Who's out there! I know there someone there!" Rainbow Dash's rage dissipated upon not hearing a voice. She began to calm when her movement shot pain into her limbs. She couldn't move.
Suddenly, She heard a door creak open. And voices. It was a dark, ominous voice... She recognized it as the captains.
"Where is the putrid mare?" he barked at one of the guards.
"Over there, sir!" hi pointed to Rainbow Dash's cell. He began to slowly trot over to Rainbow Dash, his head to the ground, still wearing his helmet and iron.
"Heheheh.." He would chuckle slowly, as he stopped at the metal bars. Rainbow Dash glared at him.
"What do you want!" the words would pain Rainbow to say, her jaw must of been hit pretty bad.
"So hostile, little one. I'm doing you a favor this time. Your head is probably riling with questions." Began the dark stallion. "So i'm here to answer a few before...Well... Lets keep the future a secret, hmm?" He would chuckle, in a sickly choking way. Rainbow Dash didn't know what to say, she had no idea what to start with.
"Who are you! and what do you want with me and Fluttershy?" Rainbowdash screamed in a rage. The rage only seemed to excite the captain.
"Who i am, is the captain. And that is the only name you will ever know of me." He spoke. "And if your referring to my ponies, or as you could say my masters ponies. Then we are the Mørke." He spat the words at her, with pride.
"You didnt answer my second question!" Rainbow Dash said. She was hiding the immense pain in her jaw.
"Whoa whoa whoa, Settle down putrid mare. Slow down." He would smirk.
"My names Rainbow Dash!" She spoke.
"Fine then, Putrid Dash." He would chuckle, Rainbow Dash would retaliate at this but she was far to weak at this point.
"What do i want with you and Flitter Lies? or whatever you said." The dark mare spoke with little enthusiasm. " What i want with you two is for you to not to live. You'r both the legendary heroes, destined to stop the creation. using the Hope. He finished.
"The hope? and what hero's?" Spoke Rainbow Dash. She could see the dark stallions mouth open wide, as well as his eyes even behind the thick helmet.
"You don't know your own destiny? didn't you read the tablet before we caught up with you?" He was chuckling the words, aparently this meant something good for him.
"You screamed halt before we could get past the first sentence.." Rainbow Dash replied. The dark stallion had a wicked smile started, the thick helmet held only his identity it seems, but not his emotions.
"This is wonderful news! not only can you not complete your destiney, but you dont even know what it is!" he would chuckle, turning to leave, and begin to trot for the door.
"Hey! im not finished!" Rainbow dash screamed.
"Pity, because i am." The dark stallion replied.
"Wait! Wheres Fluttershy! Is She ok! Where is sh-" she was cut off by the sound of a large door slamming shut. He was gone.
Didn't know her own destiny... What did he mean by that? She was angry beyond belief at her helplessness, the fact she still couldn't help her friend, and that she was rotting in a cell for these.. "Mørke"... to point and laugh at. Suddenly, the anger surfaced as she punched the stone wall with her right fore hoof, shooting pain into her once more, causing her to go unconscious once again.
Her head hurt. It felt like she hit it off of the train that runs through Ponyville. She was lying in a soft blanket in a warm cabin, the sun glimmering through the window with its open curtains, a glass of cider on the table beside the bed, and many odd odd nicknacks on the walls and doors. Not to mention the entire look of the place being foreign to her, never before did her eyes view a structure like this. She looked out the window once more, and there where paved roads, and many many more buildings that resembled this ones structure type. She was confused, but couldn't remember what had just happened. It was on the tip of her mind.... She was with Rainbow Dash, and went inside a large scary door in the even scarier Everfree forest. And then... The big mean pony showed up and attacked Rainbow Dash. "Rainbow dash!" she screamed aloud. She heard some pots being knocked around in another room, by an unknown pony.
"W...W...Who's there?" Fluttershy muttered.
"oh, good!" an odd mare looked through a drape that she assumed substituted for a door. "Look, Buck, Chase, she's awake!"
"Well, i'll be darned. Thought she would be asleep forever." Spoke the large stallion, she assumed was buck.
"Ah, the Guv's awake eh?" Said a winged stallion, she assumed this was chase. Fluttershy's mind was the comparison of a newborn child on the case of how many questions she had.
"Where am i? what happened? wheres Rainbow Dash? Who are you!?" Fluttershy spilled questions in a high pitched, squeaky voice as usual, question after question.
"Slow'er down miss. Don't wan'a hurt yourself anymoa than you already've, do ya now?" Said chase.
She had time to observe them now. The one who she had seen first, was a light yellow mare quite like herself. Her hair, would be an understatement if called curly. Her cutiemark was unlike anything she had ever seen before. It was the outline of a heart, but it was hollow. Inside the heart shaped lines lead for thick lines that met in the middle to form a circle. Inside the circle, where four triangles all with the tops pointing inward. The symbol, in some areas of Equestria, that signaled hope. The stallion named buck was a tall green pony the sign of smoke on his flank, his hair was short and he always seemed to be looking down. When he was looking at something he seemed intent on staring at it with great diligence. His eyes showed pain but also a deep happiness that Fluttershy couldn't understand. The third pony, was a dark blue stallion. His cutiemark was also quite odd. Three ovals, there bottoms intersect with each other, but the tops where separated. The symbol of joy.
"Who are you?" Spoke Fluttershy, a bit calmer now that she was familiar with her surroundings.
"im Light Heart." Began the first pony she had met. "This is Thrill Chaser, we just call him chase. And this is Spark buck. we call him, well... buck!" she chuckled. Fluttershy could tell that they where not here to hurt her.
"We found you in a field a few miles from here when we where helping bring in the towns harvest of grains. you where lying there with the cut on your leg, unconscious." Spoke Buck. "We patched you up a bit." Fluttershy looked under the covers to find her leg wrapped in gauze.
"Where am i?" Spoke Fluttershy. She has stopped shaking, and felt calm and peaceful lying in the bed with the sun on her blanket.
"You're in the Great'ol town of Buckilalum." Spoke chase. "East river, West'of the island of Ti, And far our west of the mainlands!"
"So... I'm not in Equestria anymore?" Spoke Fluttershy, she was in a panic now that she knew how far away she had really gotten
"Far from'it! i did say we was away from'a mainland, did i not?" Chase replied. Fluttershy nodded. "You should Get'sum rest now, little one. Your heads all jobbled up, see. I can see it in the way your eyes are moving! we will answer some questions in the morning, right'o?" Chase Finished. what an odd character, Fluttershy thought. She nodded, and curled up in the blanket. She didn't know how she could sleep, but somehow she could feel that Rainbow Dash was in fact, alive.
