Chapter 5 - Never fair
Rainbow grabs hold of you as she shakes you, “Teleport us to the library.”
Your head is rattled as she shakes you, you think, Ssstoppp shacckkking mee.
Rainbow lets loose of you as she talks in a high pitched voice, “Twilight put that thing in the cave once before she can do it again! You need to teleport us there.”
You close your eyes as you try to picture the library…
“What are you doing?”
You open your eyes up with an annoyed voice, “I’m trying Rainbow.”
You close your eyes as you try to picture the library, but it’s kind of hard to get over the fact of seeing a huge bear just try to kill you. You feel a slight tingling sensation come over you as you focus your thoughts, well fire or library.
“Well, that’s a different way to come home.”
You open your eyes to Twilight's voice, “Twilight!-…”
Before you can talk Rarity cuts you off with a squall, “Sweetie belle what are you covered in!?”
Sweetie and the two other fillies all talk in an inaudible unison voice.
Rarity stares blankly at them, “You what?”
Rainbow puts her hoof in Rarity mouth as she calls out, “Twilight we woke up the Ursa Minor!”
Twilight stands from the table in a shocked and fearful fashion, “YOU WHAT!”
She rubs her head as she thinks out loud, “How could you wake it up!?” Twilight paces around the table as she thinks aloud, “Okay think Twilight think…”
Rarity spits Rainbow’s hoof out from her mouth, “Honesty Rainbow EW!” Rarity then rushes to Sweetie belle with a big hug, “Are you ok? Ugh you’re all sticky what is this?”
Scootaloo taps her, “You don’t want to know.”
“…I got it! Spike bring me my book on charms.”
Spike who has been sitting at the table jumps from the seat towards the library.
After a few moments he returns with a large brown book. Twilight hoovers the book up to her as she reads a spell, “A persuasion spell, that should work.”
You give a huff as you think, persuasion?! It’s an animal! “Twilight, maybe it’s not even coming into town?” At the end of your sentence a roar rocks the library.
Twilight looks to Rainbow as she talks, “I need you to distract it so that I can get the spell to work, okay?”
Rainbow dart salutes her, “Got it!”
Rarity pokes her head at Twilight, “What do you need me to do darling?”
Twilight look over the three frighten fillies, “stay here.”
Spike rubs at his head nervously, “You should just stay in here, it should get bored and go away.”
Rainbow takes up off the ground as she is quick to the door, “No time! Twilight lets go.”
Twilight and Rainbow bolt out the door, you follow after them, a little unsure on how you could help.
As you run out you can see the big blue bear standing in the center of town even this far away, god that’s a big bear!
Twilight floats the book beside her as she hoofs to Rainbow, “OK just keep him busy.”
Rainbow dashes toward the bear.
As you watch Rainbow flying past the bear the ponies that are running out of the town in every direction.
Twilight’s horn takes on a purple glow as she closed her eyes and takes a stance to focus.
You turn your gaze back to Rainbow as she continues to zip past the now pissed off bear. It blindly swings its arms towards the Rainbow trail that follows after her.
Twilight lets out a huge bolt of purple magic towards the Ursa Minor, you watch as the bolt stuns the oversized bear.
Twilight pants as she looks at her bear’s far off gaze, “i….I think…that ….should work.”
The bear sways a bit before shaking its head and giving out a loud growl. Its big orange eyes now focuses on the library as it makes its way towards you both.
Twilight's eyes shrink as she watches it, “OH Celestia...” she continues to pant as she thinks, “…Maybe...one more?”
Rainbow lands next to you both with a slight painted yell, “Why didn’t that work?”
Twilight looks over the book and quickly tries to speak, “It-it must be too strong for a simple spell.”
Rainbow talks in a bit more nervous tone as she asks Twilight, “okay now what?”
Your heart starts to skip beats as the menacing yellow eyes start to get closer to the three of you, “Twilight?”
Rainbow now shifts back to the oncoming creature, “We can’t just go inside, it would just level the town!”
Twilight shifts a little as her thinking starts to falter, “I- I don’t know what to do, no pony can defeat and Ursa Minor! Thats why I put it to sleep.”
Rainbow flaps her wings, “well keep thinking.”
Rainbow again bolts towards the bear, “Ok ugly, try and catch me!”
The bear stops for a moment as Rainbow again zips around it. The Rainbow trials make you a bit dizzy as you watch.
Twilight continues to search the book for an answer.
You shift your head back to the occupied Ursa, but as you watch one of its heavy paws swap the air the rainbow stream shifts, “Rainbow!” You call out her name as she comes crashing down not too far in front of you two. Rainbow sits up from the ground and shakes her head.
Twilight drops the book as she runs towards her friend, but instead of stopping she runs past her towards the Ursa Minor…Your heart pumps as it gets closer to her. You start to gallop after her as she stops, “Twilight?!”
As you run towards her you watch as her horn glows a bright purple, as you near her you stop and watch as the Ursa Minor becomes clouded by her purple magic. You help Rainbow to her hooves as you watch Twilight’s horn becoming a larger darker shade of purple. The Ursa Minor begins to float from the ground with flailing kicks.
Rainbow cheers as the bear is now clouded by Twilight’s color. But your face goes cold as you watch her magic turn a green tone. Her horn now glows more intensely and the soft chime that usually comes from the magic is a louder more annoying ring.
The magic completely engulfed the creature as it starts to fade from sight.
As the green magic flashes around it eventually fades completely with a soft poof sound…
Rainbow shakes you as she cheers, you smile as you take in what you just saw. But not a moment after a smile appears on your face Twilight falls to her front knees. Your world spins as she falls to her side in a fetal position as she holds her sides.
You gallop over to her, “Twilight!”
She shivers on the ground with her eyes closed and her horn sparking green and purple sparks. You place your hoof on her as you try to stand her up, there is a vibrating sensation under her coat that makes you take your hoof off of her. She shifts on the ground as she continues to hold her stomach.
Rainbow is now standing over Twilight as she looks to you, “We need to get her to Ponyville hospital!”
Your shaking as you try to lift her with your hooves, you know its pointless because you can’t walk on two legs but you still try.
Rainbow gently pushed you aside as she scoops her friend off the gourd, “Follow me I know where it is.”
Rarity and Spike now run from the door to where you both are.
Spike has tears in his eyes as he looks at Twilight, “Is she ok?”
Twilight mumbles as Rainbow holds her. Rainbow flaps her wings a little harder as she struggles to hold her, “Meet me at Ponyville hospital.”
Rainbow is quickly in the sky as she takes off ahead of you.
Spike turns his sad eyes to you as he talks, “Wh-what….”
You don’t wait to talk as you follow after Rainbow dash. Your hooves are shaky as you run on the dirt road after her. You feel queasy and like you’re going to faint. You keep trying to calm yourself as you play Twilight’s voice in your head over and over again, “I’m fine.”
