    I was running through the barren alleyways looking left and right for Ruby Spark. She was no were to be seen until I spotted a red puddle flowing down the street. "Blood!" I said. I sped up I had to find her. I turned a corner and saw Ruby Spark rolling away the body of....... Herself! "What how why?" I said trying to wrap my mind around it.
"Just moping up." she said with a green glint in her eyes. Wait green glint! I lit my horn and blasted her away the imposter wailed "NOOOOOOOO!"
"Oh my Celestia that hurts!" said Ruby Spark she had a hole in her side! I ran to her side and said.
"No this can't be happening! It can't be no no no!" I was freaking out I didn't want to loose another friend not like this.
"It's okay I've lived my life, made friends, and own my own store. If only I could be there for my dear Sparkler! Promise me you will find her and protect her!" she told me.
"I will!" I said she sighed, and closed her eyes for the last time. I arose and ran I was going to save that child!

Back at the TARDIS
"There are a lot of changelings don't reckon we can hold this out much longer!" Applejack yelled over the chaos of the fight. The words set in and moral dropped until a blue bolt of energy flew by and destroyed a small group of the things! The group turned to see the trio of unicorns they thought they left in Canterlot. Twilight, Lyra, and the ever so helpfull Colgate!

At Sugar Cube Corner
"Did..did..did you see that?" said a shaky Lightning Smash he turned to see Sparkler curled in a ball in the corner sobbing. Her mother was killed before her very eyes! Now a stallion she doesn't even know is supposed to protect her! She was horrified. What startled her more was when a changeling burst through the back doors and tackled Lightning! Sparkler did what any pony in this situation would do scream! Hearing the scream Sabre dashed for the store. 
Sparkler stopped screaming and kicked the creature in the muzzle knocking it off! Feeling proud of herself she got distracted and the creature grabbed her "Lightning help!" she said, but instead of the thing getting knocked off a purple blade pertruded from its chest. "What the?" she said before getting slung over Sabre's back along with her friend.

The Streets
"I'm guessing you're Sparkler right?" I said Sparkler nodded "Then I'm getting you to safety."
"Whoa were are we going who are you?" she asked before looking at my armor and looking up.
"I promised your mother I would look out for you." I turned a corner and sat them down and said "Now tell me about your self Miss. Sparkler." She told me her full name Amethyst Spark, she was from Canterlot, her father was killed by changelings, she was 12 years old at the time, and a few other things.
"Okay can we get out of here now?" asked Lightning Smash I nodded and we made a brake for the TARDIS.

At The TARDIS 
"Well bout time you fellers got back.... Where's that red feller?" asked Applejack Sparkler looked on the verge of tears I answered AJ while trying to comfort her.
"She was killed before I got there, but she told me to find her daughter and keep her safe." I said looking at the filly next to me.
"Oh my I'm so sorry little one let's get you inside." Applejack led the girl and her friend inside the TARDIS while I went over to the trio of unicorns and spoke my mind.
"Twilight I told you to stay in Canterlot!" 
"If I hadn't of came you're friends here would be dead now." said Twilight we continued arguing before Ditzy broke us up. There was urgency in her eyes.
"Their Queen is here." I looked at her slack jawed until I turned my head seeing the alicorn like Queen Crisilis. 

"Ah I see both of my little headaches are right in front of me! Now I can get my revenge!" she said before jumping from the roof landing in front of me snarling "This will be fun!"
