The mane six and Spike got in front of the castle. They looked around and saw a few of the crystal ponies, they looked sad and  not sparkly. Twilight looked at her friends. "We need to find the Cutie Mark Crusaders right away." 

AppleJack nods. "We darn too-ten need to and I don't see the crystal heart, how about y'all?"

Rainbow dash looked around. "Yeah its not here. Sombra must have hidden it again." 

Pinkie Pie was bouncing up and down. "Don't worry everypony. Twilight can find it like she did last time." 

Twilight smiled. "I'm sure I can find it but we first must find the girls."

"Lets hope that despicable Sombra or that wicked  Sarah have not done anything to them." Rarity replied. 

Spike looked at the ground. "I...I..want..." He couldn't really finish his sentence.

"What is it Spike?" Fluttershy asked.

Spike looked up at them, his claws clenched. "I want to find Sarah. She is the reason why we are here. You guys go find the Cutie Mark Crusaders and then head to the library to meet up with Shining Armor and Cadence. "

Twilight looked at him with concern in her eyes. She wondered what he would do if he found her. Would they get into a fight? Will he end up fighting Sombra and something happen to her favorite assistant? She sighed and figured she would have to hope nothing will happen. "Do you want one of us to help you look?"

Spike shook his head. "No..this is something I have to do." 

"Make sure when you see that trickster you give her the old one, two for me. Rainbow dash said as she moved her hooves in a boxing motion.

"Yes make her pay." Rarity said.

"Do what ever you think is best" Applejack told Spike.

"Please don't do anything drastic Spike." Fluttershy said. 

Twilight nodded. "Then go. Everypony else lets start the search." 

Pinkie pie pulls out a crystal flugelhorn and plays it. "Charge!" She said after she finished playing. 

Rarity rolls her eyes. "Pinkie dear this is no time for that." 

Applejack nods. "Yes lets go." She gallops inside and went down one of the hallways. 

Soon everypony but Twilight and Spike were inside. Twilight took one last look at her friend.   "Please be careful Spike, I don't want anything to happen to you." 

Spike nodded. "Same to you Twi." Him and her went inside the castle. Twilight took the hallway that the others went down while Spike went down another. The search was on to find their allies but also the one they called their enemy.


Meanwhile the door  to their room was slammed shut and was locked as the Cutie Mark Crusaders were done being brain washed zomponies. They had spent their day scrubbing the crystal floors, washing the windows and cleaning the rest of the castle from top to bottom. They looked around the room and saw that somepony, most likely Sarah had left a few plates full of crystal corn and crystal candy in there.  Sweetie Belle fell straight to the bed and covered up with the pink cloak that Sarah had left. "Well at least we know we didn't get our cutie marks in castle cleaning..."

Scootaloo sighed as she sat on the floor. "Yeah...but I don't think we would get them since we were controlled."

"Yeah, y'all are right." Apple Bloom added. She was glad that they didn't get their cutie marks in castle cleaning and she was able to agree with Scoots that they wouldn't have gotten it anyway. "I wonder what Sarah is up to..."

Sweetie Belle had tears in her eyes.  "I want Rarity here. I'm tired of being here, I want my sister." 

Scootaloo looked at Apple Bloom as she stood up. "I wonder that too, we didn't see her yet today." She went over to the bed and gave Sweetie a hug. "I know Sweetie, we miss the others too. They will either find us soon or we will get out of here and find them.

She nodded and looked at her. "Yeah I know. I hope that spell thing we did with that crystal shard and book worked." 

Apple Bloom smiled. "I hope so too." 

Scootaloo smiled. "I'm sure it worked. Sarah wouldn't have given it to us and pointed it out if she didn't think it would work. She wants to get rid of that nasty Sombra as well, he does have her heart still." 

Sweetie Belle wrapped herself in the pink cloak. "And he is keeping her alive with his magic while he holds onto it. If he is defeated what will happen to her? "

"Boy...that is one hard question to answer Sweetie Belle. I'm sure my sister and the others can figure it out." Apple Bloom replied. She went over to the plates with the crystal candy and corn and picked some up. "Lets eat y'all." 

The other two nodded and went over to eat.

While this was happening Sarah was in her own room. It was  blue colored wall room with a small bed and rug. That was it nothing else. She had been following Sombra's orders all day, whether it was getting him a meal fit for a king, being a jester, or taking notes. She smiled at the thought of taking notes. It reminded her of when Spike would take notes for Twilight. She looked at the black crystal on her necklace. It now looked whole again since the magic in it made it so the piece she took off would grown back making it look like nothing had happened.  She really hoped that the little magic in the shard of crystal had enough power to help  Spike and his friends, she hoped that they would find the Cutie Mark Crusaders since it was her fault they were here. She was only glad that she was able to sneak food in the room also known as their prison for them.  She sighed. She really wished that since had never happened. She wished that Sombra had never found her egg and gave it life, she wished he never gave her knowledge, took her heart, kept her alive with his magic and she mostly wished that she never had to lie to Spike. Even if the story she told him about them being sibling was false, she still considered him, her only family. He was a baby dragon after all just like her. Their beginnings may have been different like paths they walk today but they were still dragons none the less.
