                    CHAPTER 23
What Are Friends For

“Why don’t we have Raindrops and Derpy lift you guys up? I mean they are pegasi. Fluttershy nodded in agreement. She flew down the cliff, and it took a few seconds. Two pegasi started to lift one by one the friends up the cliff. They were finally all together again. “Rainbow Dash what happened?” Twilight said. “I don’t know there was a big flash, and that somehow stunned me. So i fell down the cliff landing on my wing. I have no idea what that flash was, but it was bright.” Rainbow Dash said with some pain in her voice. “I think we all need some rest, especially you Rainbow Dash.” said Applejack. They all set up their camp, and went to sleep. They all woke up to the sound of a familiar voice. Shining Armor approached them all as they stood up from their tents. “The battle was won, and Sombra’s army is gone you all must go now before he gathers his strength.” Shining Armor said. “But we can’t Rainbow Dash just broke her wing, and we have been working our hardest to find each other which we finally have.” Twilight said to her brother. 

“We must get more forces, how could such a thing happen. We had at least a thousand at their doorstep, tell me how did they destroy a thousand in less than a day?” King Sombra rose his voice towards his messenger. “I don’t know, some sort of new magic. Maybe even these Elements of Harmony that are at such a power that you desire them.” His messenger said back with a shake in his voice. Sombra nodded over to one of his guards, and they took the pony by force. They took him down into the deeps of the castle, and threw him into the dungeon. “I pray to Luna please release me from this prison i need you.” the messenger whispered in the dark. Luna appeared, and said “What do you need RainFall why are you in such a prison?” He stood up from where he laid, and said “King Sombra threw me down here for no reason at all. Just because i gave him some faulty information.” Princess Luna started to fade away, and he stood there with a tear rolling down his face. Once the tear reached the ground he passed out. “Where am i? How did i get out from that prison?” RainFall said as he stood up from the palace floor. “Don’t worry you’re safe. MoonTransportainion isn’t the best way of travel at some times, but this was a great use of it.” Luna said as she pointed down on the ground beneath him. He looked down just to see what seemed to be a sundial, but for the moon. “What sort of magic is this, I’ve never seen this before. How did you discover this, please tell me i want to know?” RainFall said with excitement. Princess Luna turned away, and said “You will have to ask Princess Cadence she herself was the one to discover it.” 

“Why must we go now, you know him it will probably be a trap?” Twilight said loudly. “It’s not a trap, we took out his army in a way that no pony had any idea was possible. We used four different kinds of magic to create a super explosion to wipe all from the darkness of the changeling infection. I’m pretty sure you guys would have seen it from here they light was extremely bright.” Shining Armor said.
