Chapter 6 - Through the Darkness...

Face to face with someone else, She had wings, tuck in on her back. The girl was was looking at Luna, inspecting her. The girl looks about the same age as Xavier. Luna wondered how long she must have been down here. The girl was starting to move around Luna. Luna just watched her making sure that she don`t do anything harmful. After she got a good look at Luna, Luna thought it might be her turn to check this newcomer out.
She had big Beautiful white wings smaller than Xavier's, but not by much. She looked fine, though she could use more food, though. The girl outstretched her wings for Luna to get a good look at them. no flaws to be found on her wings. Her body was skinny, but healthy. She was watching Luna, just as Luna had done to her, making sure no sudden movements. after checking the girl out, Luna looked around for something else to find still watching the girl as she walked away. after not finding anything but nothing except a dark hallway. Luna walked back to the girl. "Why are you doing down her?" Luna asked the girl's wings automatically spread and covering her, not expecting the pony to talk. "you talk?" asked the girl. "yeah... the other ones asked that too..." Luna said. "the other ones?" She asked looking at Luna suspiciously. "Yeah, a boy and girl." Luna said "Really? Wow I thought that I was the only one here after the humans left. They took most of the others... leaving me behind with..."she said hesitating"nothing else...power went out after a while not sure how long ago, but never actually ventured this far, We just lived on the other side of the laboratory, in a separate house, hidden by the bushes." she explained. "Oh...well come meet the others! They have wings like you!" Luna said excitedly. "uh... Ok..." The girl said cautiously.

Flying back home I noticed that Celestia flew out of the house and sat on a cloud looking out at the ocean."lets go, check on her." I said to Rose, pointing at Celestia. We flew towards the cloud that she was lying down on. "hey...what's up?" I ask, as we land beside her. "oh...hi" she says surprised to see us. "just needed so time time to think." Celestia said looking back at the ocean. "Do you mind if we join you?" I asked her, wondering what's bugging her. "not at all" She said not taking her gaze off of the ocean. I lye down to the left of Celestia, Rose sit to the left of me. I stare to the sky, losing myself in thought. "maybe we should go back in side..." Rose said, breaking the silence. We both agreed, but i said that i would join them later. I wanted to try something. When they got inside I took flight, pushing myself to my limit to see how fast I could go. tilting up, I fly up, know i can get more speed if I go up, first, then down to gang more speed. Pushing off of cloud that I pass I get to a god height and start to fly down at steep level, my wings beating as fast as they could, feeling the air resistance building as i go, wind curling around my wings, my body took over naturally flying faster and faster towards the water. Noticing how far I've traveled, I lean in to a slight angle to turn towards the house, going straight at it, as I break the barrier, sound just stops, nothing left to interrupt my thought, nothing to slow me down. Its absolute bliss, but I'm not the only one flying at this speed...

Rose and Celestia fly back to the house, Finding that twilight is asleep. Rose walked around looking for Luna. "Where's Luna?" Rose asked to no one in particular. Celestia nudged Twilight gently waking her up. "hmm?" said Twilight looking around. "where's Luna?" Rose asked again to the tired Twilight. "um..." looking around for clues to where she went. "I think..she went down stairs...I told her not to, but I fell asleep" Twilight said as she walked to the stairs. "Just relax, Twilight. She's an Alicorn, she can take care of herself...but let's check on her" Celestia said, not wanting Twilight to panic, remembering what happened last time she did. "Should we wait until my brother gets back?" Rose asked "We could...only for a short time though." Celestia said, looking outside seeing something moving extremely fast. not one, but two, flying at incredible speeds. Hearing two, massive booms confirm her suspicion, for one of them, as for the other one, 'could it be him?' Celestia though. "What was that? another portal?" Twilight looking more awake now. "No, I think your friend, Rainbow Dash has arrived" Celestia said look away from the rainboom and at Twilight now."really, uh...what should we do?" Twilight asked "lets get Rose and Xavier get Rainbow, as for us, we get Luna" Celestia replied.

******************************************************************************************

As I'm flying, I notice a rainbow-cyan colored blur flying about the same speed as me. but as it breaks the barrier, it causes a blast-radius of color, with a stream of rainbow following the blur around. I slow down by pulling up, stopping above the house. Amazed by the color, and speed of the blur, I forgot to keep beating my wings, and I fall slightly, catching myself. still watching as the cyan-blur slows, I land on the roof. Rose comes to join me. "apparently, that's another pony" Rose said pointing at the blur. "and we have to get her and bring her back here. The others are going downstairs..." she said, taking flight. "Ok..." I say, kind of confused, following her.
The rainbow dissipated slowly, and at the end of it was the cyan colored pony we where send to retrieve. "where am I?" said the pony looking around, back facing us. "Hey, over here!" Rose called to the pony "Ah!...what are you?" she asked, turning around to face us. "Humans...technically" I said to her, as she inspected us from a distance. "Come with us, your friend, Twilight, and the two Princess', are at our house right now." I continued turning and flying to the house semi-expecting her to follow or not follow. "hmm...Ok, I guess, plus how would they know Twilight's name any ways, right?" she whispered to her self. she followed at a distance, I didn't rush her knowing that even if we get there, they will probably be still downstairs.

"Ok, lets go, Twilight." Celestia said, walking down the into the darkness. Celestia tilted her head slightly as her horn started to glow gently. "well? what are you waiting for, Twilight?" She said looking back up at Twilight "Afraid of the dark?" she joked
"hmm? No, just not sure why Luna wanted to come down here." Twilight said, copying Celestia spell.Twilight walked down the stairs, walking beside the Princess. Twilight looked around trying to find clues to where Luna wandered to. not to long in to the walk, she found a box that had been moved from its original position. "this box has been moved, so Luna must have come this way" Twilight said. looking around some more, Twilight found a hallway, leading to another massive room. "wow. humans must be more advanced than us... they have so much new technology that I've never seen before. can I take some?" Twilight asked with an excited and curious voice. "I'm afraid not, Twilight. If you do if will make it impossible to close the rift." Celestia explained. "even something small, will make hard to close." Twilight just looked disappointed, but didn't argue with Celestia. "lets keep going." Celestia said moving on.
