Foal Adventures.

by Super-Stallion


Castle Chaos part 3

Super Stallion walked up to the cell doors and tapped them a few times before trying to squeeze through them only to learn that the bars where to close together and that he wouldn’t fit. “Nice try youngster, but these cells where made back in the day when they would adjust to who ever were confined within them, and seeing how we’re all foals the bars have already gotten closer together to keep us stuck inside.”

“Well, what if we just ram the door, they’re ancient they could just fall down.” Rainbow Dash asked, as she got ready to run at the cell doors.

“Wouldn’t try it youngster, if these cells have enough magic to adapt to us being held inside, no telling how strong that door is, remember it was made to hold things like young dragons and minotaurs, we all charge it and we’re libel to only hurt ourselves if not something worse.”

“We’ll we have to do something I mean we can’t just sit around here and do nothing at all.” Rainbow complained as she started to stamp her hooves, which only got a smirk from Granny Smith.

“You’re a real fire cracker you know that deary,… but don’t you fret non I think our little fox friend is doing just fine on his own.” with that the foals all started to look around for Sly only to looks across to the wall with the keys and noticed the little fox wearing his brand new Hearths warming eve present from Rarity, a dark blue long sleeve pet shirt and a matching peasant’s cap. He slowly crept up to the wall looking around ever so often and his in the shadows as much as he could before he started to climb the old chair the sat just under the keys.

“Your mommy really has a talent for clothing.” Nightmare Moon said, as she smiled at Onyx. “Though I’m not so sure I like the peasants cap.”

“But it goes with the outfit, besides Sly likes it.” Onyx countered as he smiled at Nightmare Moon who smirked back.

“True, but it still makes him look like some kind the thief.”

“Well deary it’s some kind of thief we need right now, don’t you think?” Granny Smith asked, getting Nightmare Moon to smile.

“I guess so but I just don’t want him getting used to stealing, it’s a bad thing.”

“Really what about Robin Whooves?” Night Mist asked, as he looked at Nightmare Moon.

“Well, he’s different he was stealing from the rich and giving to the poor that really needed it, and most of the time he was stealing from the evil Royal of the land.”

“So it’s alright to steal as long as it’s for a good cause?”

“I guess so, but I still don’t want him to get into the habit.”

“If you youngens are finished, he’s almost got the keys.” Granny Smith pointed out as she pointed at Sly who was now standing on the top of the chair straining as much as he could reaching for the keys, but just barely able to touch them with his nose. “Ah shoot he’s too small, he can’t reach them.”

“Well at least he tried.” Rainbow Dash said, as she started to look around the cell. “There’s got to be some way out of this cell.”

“Now don’t ya’ll count that poor boy out just yet, he ain’t finished.” with that Rainbow Dash looked back at Sly who was now slowly inching up the wall digging his nails between the bricks just enough so that he could slowly push the key’s up and off the nail holding them on the wall.

“ALRIGHT SLY!” Blueblood yelled, breaking the deafening silence in the dungeon scaring the foals who had been watching Sly’s progress while holding their breath, as well as startling the young pup as to loose his grip and fall onto the old chair and breaking through it’s rotten wood onto the floor leaving motionless as the chair fell apart on top of him.

“SLY!!” Nightmare Moon ran for the cell bars and tried to squeeze through, with no luck as she desperately tried to reach Sly. “Sly please wake up, come on do it for me, do it for Moony.” No response.

“B-but Kit said “if we where in danger that he would zap us out of it and place us with the adults.” Night Mist whispered in terror as he looked at the remains of the chair and wondering if Sly was alright under them. After a few moments the remains of the chair started to move and Nightmare Moon smiled as she heard Sly whimpering under the rubble.

“Sly? Sly come on you can do it.” Nightmare Moon cheered on as she watched as slightly slowly climbed out of the rubble and limped over to her holding up his right paw. “Oh you poor thing, come here let big sis make it better.” Once sly was close enough Nightmare Moon notice a splinter in his paw and pulled it out, earning a little yelp for the fox pup before she pulled him in close and gave him a hug. “Oh you’re my brave little fox.”

“Yeah you did a good job Sly.” Rainbow Dash said, as she ruffled Sly’s hair and then took the keys. “Now let’s get out of here, and to the throne room free our parents so they can kick Kit’s sorry flank.”

“I reckon we should, since we spent a bit of time here and haven’t even made it to the first room.” Granny Smith said, as the foal started to climb on one another so that they could unlock the door, but as the group started to leave Sly stopped at the cell doors and sniffed the air a few times and looked down into the darker part of the dungeon.

“ARF!” the foals turned and looked at Sly who started to walk deeper into the darkness.

“What’s he doing?” Sunset asked, as she started to follow.

“I don’t know, but I don’t want to go that way.” Night Mist stated as he slowly started to back away from Sly’s direction only to bump into his brother Sky Hooves.

“Don’t worry bro I’ll keep you safe.”

“But we don’t have our powers, and no one can use magic, we’re in way over our head and you want to go deeper into the dark, scary, dungeon with Celestia knows what could be lurking in the shadows? What if it’s a trap by Kit?”

“Then we’ll just have to face It.” with that Sky Hooves started to push Night Mist towards the darkness. “Don’t worry as long as we stick together nothing bad will happen to us.”

“Isn’t that was Custard said at his last stand?” Night Mist asked, as he looked back at his brother.

“No he said. “Trust me this will work.” Sky Hooves countered, as he smiled at his brother.

“And all this time I thought he was half drunk and said, “Hey watch this.” Onyx chimed in getting the two foals to laugh slightly. “Come on the least we can do since Sly got us out of the cell is to at least trust him to lead us to something.” with that the three started to follow the rest of the group and followed the little fox cub until they came to a dead end.

“Is this it, you want us to look at a wall?” Rainbow Dash scolded Sly, as she glared at him. “We are trying to rescue our parents and you lead us to this dead end.”

“Rainbow lay off, he smelt something sunset said, as she looked at Sly who was now sniffing the base of the wall, then backed up and looked at it rather puzzled.

“BARK! BARK!!” the group looked at one another before watching sly run up to the wall and start to claw at it.

“Moony, I think your puppy has gone loopy.” Lightning Dust said, as she watched Sly claw at the wall.

“Or maybe he just knows better then you whippersnappers, the little feller smells something just past that wall which means their might be a secret passage on the other side, we just got to fine what triggers it.” Granny Smith said, as she walked up and then started to pet Sly. “Alright we understand we’ll start looking.” with that Sly smiled and started to wag his tail.

“And just how are we going to find this secret passage trigger, on top of that how do we know it’s not up high for like adults, we don’t have time for this and I don’t want to risk running out of time for something we don’t know about.” Though she didn’t want everypony to know it Rainbow Dash was getting upset as she started to worry more and more about not getting back the throne room in enough time.

“Alright, you and the others go on ahead I’ll stay here with Sly and see if we can figure this out, just remember who ever get’s to the throne room get Celestia and Luna free if anyone can fight that little trouble maker it’s the royal sisters.” with that the group nodded and started to head back towards the first room.

“Promise to keep him safe.” Nightmare Moon said, as she looked at Granny Smith who only smiled.

“Ah promise.”

“And you listen to Granny Smith and be a good boy, O.K.?” Sly nodded and then turned to Granny Smith who smiled and the two started to look for some kind of trigger in the near by area, while the others started to walk away. As the group made it to the first door they opened it and walked into the room that was lit up by the sun rays coming through several stain glass windows.

“Wow this is so pretty it’s like a room of rainbows.” Trixie said, as she looked around the room while the others did the same. “That’s Odd.”

“What?” Onyx asked, as he walked up to Trixie.

“Nothing it might just be me, but it seems as if the colors are moving.”

“Oh that might just be the way the light is hitting the glass.” Sunset said, as she walked up to Trixie.

“No, Trixie is right, the colors they're moving.” with that the group looked up to the windows and could see the images moving around in them. “That’s pretty interesting.”

“Moving Stained-glass windows cool.” Blueblood said, as he smiled up at the windows. Just then the door they had walks through slammed shut and the images froze in place, then turned and looked at the group. “Uh-oh.”

“You just took the words out of my mouth, Blueblood.” Onyx said as he started to notice the images in the stained-glass windows starting to glare at them. “EVERYPONY RUN!!” As the group started to run for the other side of the long corridor the images started to leap from the stained-glass and forming glass living glass running after the group trying to catch them. As they reached the end of the room they found that the door was only painted onto the wall.

“WE HAVE TO GET OUT OF HERE!” Trixie yelled, as she ducked one of the glass creatures swing at her getting a few of her hairs cut.

“Everypony behind me.” Onyx said, as he tried to shield his friends as he heard the glass creature’s hiss and back away only to slowly meld together and form a Stained glass monster. “This can’t be how it ends.” Onyx focused as hard as he could but to no luck he didn’t have heat vision. “Guys, any luck with your powers.”

“My ring still isn’t working.” Sky Hooves said, as he looked at Onyx.

“And I don’t have a bow or arrows.” The group covered their ears as the monster racked its glass fingers across the stone walls making an evil screeching sound as it slowly walked forward. “Onyx isn’t there something you can do, anything I mean come on you have a plan to get out of this don’t you?”

“Sure I got a plan to get us out of this.” Onyx said; hopping his friends would believe him. ‘I really wish I had an idea right now, but we’re trapped no powers no magic facing down a monster made of solid glass even if we charge all at once one of us could get really hurt and I can’t let that happen, I just can’t.’ Onyx stood up on his hind legs and held out his fore legs. ‘I guess it’s up to Granny Smith and Sly now.’ The monster stood over the group of frightened foals and let out a roar that sounded like glass scratching across it self, just as it brought down one of his shard formed hands towards Onyx, to try and take its first victim.
