Chapter 3
A Bad Apple.
I really should have seen that coming, but I didn't and nearly passed out. The war was nothing compared to this! I mean sure, I saw ponies internally and externally explode, but their remains weren't mad into cupcakes! To think, I almost would have eaten one of my own kind, if it wasn't for Sherlock.
Coming out of my shocked state Sherlock was over at the fridge putting the cupcake/Rainbow Dash into the fridge.
"We wouldn't want her to spoil she has to stay like this until she can stand on her own", he said with a small grin as if I knew his inside joke.
I was about to interject when the doorbell was rung.
I walked over and opened it to find Twilight and friends minus RD and Pinkamina, er I mean, Pinkie. Applejack had also brought her little sister, Applebloom, I would end up hating very much later.
"Ah girls your here!" Sherlock said butted me from the door way."Come in, come in!" he ushered them in. They all sat sown and waited for Sherlock to reveal where their friend was. Sherlock of course did his dramatic pause, as always before he reveals anything to our clients, he then told them his methods of investigating the matter then ushered them to the fridge.
"I present to you," he said as opening the fridge,"Rainbow Dash."
At first all the ponies thought it was a joke and laughed, but went silent when they saw Sherlock's serious look on his face.
"Tha' can't be Rainbow!" exclaimed Applejack.
Sherlock explained everything and showed the evidence to them. They then looked horrified at what was unfolding before them.
"We have to get pinkie arrested," Twilight said finally, "Spike get a letter sent to the princess about all of this."
The dragon nodded and asked me for a quill and some parchments , and I sent him to my desk with all of my supplies. A Sherlock was showing the DNA samples to Twilight, Applejack suddenly exclaimed,"Where's Applebloom?!" Everypony looked around, but she wasn't there. Sherlock looked up and said,"She's left to go warn Pinkamina."
"Why do you think that?" asked Applejack.
"Because," Sherlock replied," I see her running there now."
Everyone rushed to the window, and sure enough, Applebloom was galloping to Sugarcube Corner as fast as her little legs could carry her.
"Quickly," Sherlock exclaimed,"after her!"
Everyone ran out the door but Sherlock stayed. I paused at the door waiting for him.
"Come on!" I said.
"You go John, he said," I have to get some things."
And with that, ANOTHER secret door opened and he went in. I decided to go after the girls and left.
When I got to Sugarcube Corner the door was locked and Applejack was bucking the door with her hind legs with no prevail. Then from out of nowhere, I heard a voice call," get away from the door!" I turned to see Sherlock walking up in what I think he went to get. He wore a single bag that was hanging on his back, not on his sides, he also had a weird looking hooflet made of metal, and in his hand he held a small package. He walked up to the door and stuck the package on the door and said," You all have about ten seconds to get away from this door. Everyone looked at each other and cleared away from the door. The door then exploded open and we all rushed in, it was dark inside.
"Hit the lights!" I said.
The lights turned on and I knew where we had to go next:The basement.we got down there expecting to find her lair, but what we found confused even Sherlock. It was just a normal kirchen! No signs of blood or anything! Then Sherlock got an idea, he started walking around the room, knocking on walls, then he found what he was looking for. He pushed on an area of a wall, an it opened up. We were greeted by the smell of death and decay. Sherlock pulled out a match and lit some torches. What greeted us made me want to pass out, but I held the urge to; although I can't say the same for Rarity, she was on the ground out cold. As Fluttershy attended to her, Sherlock, Twilight, Applejack, and myself continued into the small dungeon room. Sherlock suddenly stopped an lit a hoof held lamp, and right before before us lay a crudely made taxidermy of Rainbow Dash. The girls gasped and Futtershy then presumed to faint as well. Sherlock sighed and continued looking around when we heard a slight whimpering sound from over near the jail cells. We walked over there and discovered none other than Applebloom curled up and crying.
"Applebloom?" Applejack asked.
Applebloom heard this and came over to the jail cell
"Sis?" Applebloom said as Applejack bucked the lock off.
They hugged and then Applejack bucked her across the room. She was crying and telling her everything about being Pinkamina's assistant.
"Tha's for helpin Pinkie kill all these ponies." she said with a stern face.
Applebloom got up and walked back over to us.
"Where's Pinkie?" Sherlock asked.
"Pinkamina locked me up and left fir Fillydaphia, I think she goin bah train, but Pinkie, is in here. She pointed to the jail cell and sure enough the was a very nutrient deprived Pinkie Pie. Then there was a very bright light and a thundering boom, we turned around to see princess Celestia standing in all of her glory.
"Ah," Sherlock said,"Good to see you got my message."
"I see you've finally found Pinkamina." she started as she walked over to Pinkie.
"Actually princess, that, is the real Pinkie, and she needs some energy because it looks like she's about to die, and Rainbow Dash needs to be resurrected. I do hope you brought DarkWing the Cloaked with you."
"He should be here shortly." Celestia answered.
And at that there was another bright flash of light and a pony as tall as Celestia and wearing a cloak appeared. All he did was simply tell us to bring Pinkie and Rainbow Dash over to him and he waved his horn over them. Pinkie Sprung up, fully pink and happy but the happiness faded when she saw Rainbow's taxidermic state.
"Gaaaaaaaasp!" Pinkie started," Dashie, what did that monster do to you!" she ran over to look at her.
"Stand back, please." said the cloaked pony," Sherlock, do you have the cupcake?"
Sherlock nodded and brought over the cupcake and sat it down by the taxidermic Dash. Sherlock and myself stepped back a bit, and he dipped his horn to the objects and a very blinding light appeared. After it died down, a very tired looking Rainbow Dash stood up.
"DASHIE!!!!!!!!!" Pinkie ran towards her and tackled her.
"Get off me you monster!" Rainbow Dash struggled out of her grip then stopped when she saw all of us.
"Girls, what are you doing here?!" she asked shocked.
We explained to her everything and all she did was nod and asked the occasional question. She glared at me when she learned I was about to eat her, I apologized many times.
Then when all the meet and greet stuff was over Sherlock told DarkWing to continue with all the ponies and then whispered something to the princess. Sherlock then walked over to me and said, "Come on John, we have a train to catch."
