	Spark took all of this shock at once, Ricardo had lied to them, Ricardo had killed Rabbit, and now, Ricardo had been a part of Armageddon's family all along?! ''Why are you doing this?!" Spark yelled. Ricardo just smiled. ''Because I want power...." He growled. ''I always have lived in hatred of celestia and luna, I would rather bow down to a pony-" Ricardo looked at the statue, "Who will bend the world, with a little more capability..." And with that, he walked out saying, ''Get ready for doomsday....'' 

Spark sat there, retracing his thoughts. He head hurt and swirled as he tried to think, only making it worse. Soon his struggles were interrupted by a small voice. ''Spark, calm down. You need to figure out one thing at a time.'' Spark swerved his head around, searching for the voice. Daring was laying down, facing the other direction, so it couldn't have been her. As Spark continued to search, a glowing light, other then the cage itself, appeared. Spark held his hoof up to block the light, and gasped. 

Standing in front of him, with shimmering sparkles and a sort of transparent look,
was...... Rabbit.

Spark looked at her with a baffled look on his face. He couldn't believe it! ''Rabbit?! How-Why- are you here?! Whats going on?!''
Rabbit looked at him with a glimmer in her blue eyes, more then usual. ''Im sorry to alarm you, but you must need to know.'' She said with a voice like silk. ''Just, listen please.'' She sighed. ''See this flower?'' She said, pointing a hoof to a sparkling purple flower in her mane. Spark nodded in reply. ''It holds magical properties, beyond our control... Like bringing me here...'' She explained. Spark looked at her. 

''It has also let me spy on the others, turns out these chains are made out of a secret component called RedFury, but when in solid form, its called DeathStrokes.'' Spark shivered and looked at the glowing red bars outlining his cage. DeathStroke...what an appropriate name.... Rabbit noticed his shivers, and reassured him with a nod. ''Don't worry, it can't kill unless its at full power, which is hard to get.'' Spark calmed down, noting that if he needed reassurance, he could bring it up with her. ''So, can other people see you, or will I just continue to talk to myself like i'm mental?'' Spark asked. Rabbit laughed kindly, and said ''Don't worry, others can see me,''  She quickly put on a serious face. ''But I cannot physically touch anything or anybody, but others cannot touch me either.'' 

Spark smiled, he know knew that whenever he felt alone... she would be there.'' His thoughts were interrupted when hoofsteps approached the complex door. From the door, a small army of shadow ponies marched in, lead by a smiling Ricardo. Ricardo signaled to two shadow ponies that flew up to a small crack in the roof, quickly understanding their leader's orders. Ricardo nodded and if on cue, the two shadow ponies used their hind legs to break though the crack, allowing the light of the moon, and the soggy rain, soak in.

Daring Do stood up noticing Ricardo's unwelcome entrance. ''Whats your plan Ricardo? Are you just going to brag and underestimate us?'' Daring spat, ''Because you should know, NEVER to underestimate me.'' Ricardo just smiled coldly. ''Ah but Miss Do, you should have never underestimated ME...'' Ricardo shined the Ruby on his cape, and it glowed an unnatural red light.
Spark looked at the imitating statue, and for a moment he thought the piecing eyes, look straight at him. 	

Daring Do was oviously frustrated by Ricardo's sly remark, as she showed when she kicked the ground and bit her lip. 
Spark felt all of his hope drain out of him once he saw this, If Daring is stuck, then what chance do we have?
''And if you are so proud of yourself, maybe I will just tell you my plan...'' Ricardo said, then looked at Spark, ''Anyways, after all, Villains like me are SO predictable...'' then Ricardo started, ''How much terror and chaos do you think will spread, if the darkest evil in all of Equestria is released, with no pony to stop it?'' Then Spark understood everything. Ricardo was going to bring back Armageddon using the one wish he was granted by opening the Temple of Rasco.
