The Race for the Missing Powers

Captured

"I let you win."
"You did not!" Rainbow partially believed that he did, but that didn't mean she had to say so.
"You callin' me a liar?", he joked.
"Maybe." Rainbow smiled.
"Come here!" He tackled her, and they tumbled down the hill.
When they got to a stop, Soarin was on top of her, and they gazed into each other's eyes. Their faces got closer and closer...But then, they heard a noise.
"What was that?", Rainbow asked.
Soarin glared at the trees. "Spitfire! It's not gonna work this time! ...I'll go take care of her."
He got up and flew to the trees. Rainbow shivered from the cold. Then, she heard a loud cry.
"Soarin!", Rainbow screamed. She flew to where she heard the cry, but no one was there.
Soarin had been captured.





"It's okay, Rainbow! Calm down! We'll find him!", Twilight assured her. "Now stop flying back and forth before you give us a headache!"
"I like headaches. Sometimes they're fun!" Pinkie said as she hopped around under Rainbow Dash's nonstop flying.
"Maybe we should ask the woodland creatures if they've seen him," Fluttershy suggested.
"Good idea, darling," Rarity said.
Fluttershy smiled shyly.
"Are you kidding me?!", Applejack shouted. "That's the worst idea I ever heard!"
Fluttershy began to cry.
Rarity comforted her and said, "Applejack! Who do you think you are?! That was a stupendous idea!"
Applejack rolled her eyes. "If you want even a GOOD idea," (This made Fluttershy cry even harder.) "then just have me HERD the animals there!"
"What good would that do?" Rarity demanded.
"I don't know! It's what I do!" Applejack ungracefully plumped herself on the ground and crossed her forelegs over her chest.
Rarity rolled her eyes. "Do YOU have any ideas, Dashy? You've been awfully quiet."
The ponies then noticed that Rainbow and Pinkie were sitting on the high window of the library.
Applejack knew that taunting usually got to her, so she said, "She's in loooove with Soar-in." When Rainbow still didn't say anything, she sang, "Rainbow and Soar-in, sittin' in a tree. K-I--" Before she could finish, Rarity used a spell to pick her up and throw her outside the door.
"Rainbow? Are you okay?", Fluttershy flew up to the window, followed by Twilight. Rarity used a spell to teleport herself up.
"It's okay, Dashy. There's always Misty and Spitfire," Pinkie told her.
Rainbow looked up. "That's it! The other Wonderbolts! They probably know something! Come on, let's go!"
They all started to fly away, then looked at Rarity and Pinkie.
"It's alright, girls." Rarity didn't seem offended or out-of-place, in the state that she didn't have wings. "We'll look at the place that he was ponynapped. Where was it, Dashy?"
"Half Peak."
"Good. We'll go there now."
"Wait!", Pinkie cried out. "Shouldn't we bring Fluttershy to translate the animals?"
"Excellent idea, Darling." Rarity smiled.
"Yes, I'll go with Pinkie Pie and Rarity," Fluttershy agreed.
"Great! Good luck, girls!", Rainbow Dash called.
They set off to their missions.
