Every-pony just stands in silence for a minute, the total quiet breaking only when Dash leaps away from the mummy, curling up behind Twilight where she is separated from the abominable monster. Colour seeps back as the mummy speaks again. "Oh dear Dashie, did I startle you? I must apologize. Who are your friends? did you bring dinner." Quite a few pony shivers at that word, delivered dripping with hints of murder.
"I don't know you, who are you and what are you doing here." Rainbow Dash orders, having recovered from the shock of seeing her relatives body in motion. "Oh Dashie, you know that, I'm your grandpappy, Kinetic, sure I'm a bit dryer, with a few more wrinkles and a few less wings and I do hunger for murder a fair bit more than I did when I was alive, but It's still me." He shambles forwards halting at the edge of the venerable wall of steel blades. "I don't serve the Bitch Queen any longer, in case your friends are wondering weather to attempt to gut me."
"Oh your free of Serene's control?" says Twilight excitedly the gears in her head almost audible as the thinks of new plans encompassing. The mummy looks surprised, though his face barely shows it as rotten sinews and preserved flesh hold it almost frozen. "Oh no, she's our lord and saviour, I meant the other one, the one pony's worship fanatically... What's her name... Claus what is the Bitch Queens name?"
A few sarcophagi down another mummy steps out, this one still has it's wings "Celery stalks, don't spread it around to much." They living pony's look terrified, especially Rainbow Dash whose face flinches as she recognizes another of her relatives. Wrapping her hoofs around Twilight she hold her back from attacking the mummy who just blasphemously ruined Celestia's name. "We can't fight them." she says as another mummy steps out down the crypt, and a few skeletons loom out of the darkness.
"Ah so you did bring dinner." says Kinetic, what is left of his jaw twisting into a leering smile. The thing points at it's ears "never lost my hearing." it explains as it take a step "We've already got your sarcophagi ready Rainbow, once we've prepared your welcome home dinner we can feast to a long and happy unlife." 4 skeletons come forth from the shadows, carrying another Sarcophagus, it's cutie mark coloured and etched perfectly, the face carved into a perfect likeness of rainbow during a flight. "Nope, Nope, Nope." says the blue mare as she bolts out the door, shortly followed by her friends and the royal guard.
Again they travel along the long corridor, but this time they gallop, each torch whirling by the change in colour visible to all the pony's. Suddenly another crypt door leers out of the cloud, completely unsummoned, it opens and a pair of rotting hoofs reach out, grabbing one of the guard and dragging him into darkness with a shriek. "Why you you struggle Rainbow." the voice of her grandfather asks "We are your family, we only want what's best for you." The blue mare is silent as she gallops along, Twilight notes tears falling from her eyes and she takes over, questioning the horror just beyond the darkness. "How did you get turned into undead creatures, so far into the crypts."
A laugh "It was depressingly easy actually, I shouldn't tell you, but none of you will be leaving alive so why they hay not." A pause, and another of the royal guard vanishes as a mummy leaps out of a cloud and tackles the mare, barely older than a filly. "During the last war we slipped a sleeper in and a ton of equipment, then with bribes we managed to get access at will. Only 2 of the guards actually know something is up, but they think it's just a few grave-robbers due to our careful diligence."
Out looms another skeleton reaching out to tackle Rarity, but receives a hoof to the face from Applejack, exploding the bone in every direction. "We'll stop you!" shouts Rainbow Dash, her loudness making up for her earlier silence. "Even if it's the last thing we d..." the voice interrupts her "Stop us from what exactly, do you even know out mistress's schemes and plot?" somewhere they can hear a snort, as if the thing that was once called Kinetic is laughing at them. Rainbow looks around and sees the questioning looks on her friends faces, as the voice strikes true and they wonder what they are attempting to stop. "I am sick of you crap." Dash snarls and leaps with great force the hum of her wings loud as she dissipates into the darkness.
Her friends start to stop, not wanting to get lost without her, but then they hear an almighty crack, and look in shock at each other as the world bursts into colour, a Sonic Rainboom bursting only a few yards in front of them. Unholy screams resinate as half a dozen skeletons are lit up ahead of them, each now cringing. The darkness lifts as a massive section of the tomb is ripped away, the force of Rainbows boom enough to rip a gash. "No you can escape, not now." they hear from deep in the darkness, Twilight reacts quickly using her magic to teleport them out of the gash to the original landing pad where they had begun this eventful trip.
40,000... no 10, no 50 of the guards surround them, spears leveled with the group as they react to the gash in their charge "What did you do in there!" says one, who steps forwards enough that he no longer looks like part of the background. Twilight is about to speak, already opening her wings to give her some extra authority when a flash of rainbow burst inches in front of the guard-pony. Rainbow looks livid, her face twisted into a snarl. "We were escaping YOUR MESS! I counted over 200 undead in my crypt alone, you are traitors, traitors all!"
A great tearing sound rumbles below-hoof, and the Guards look worried, both for their jobs and their charge. They indeed should be as huge parts of cloud tear themselves away, each shaping into tendrils that seem to grasp the air tearing more and more away from the massive cloud. This cloud shift colour, darker than before, with the occasional flare of putrid green smoke bellowing from inside. With a few pulls of the massive tendrils it throws it'self away, crawling even higher into the sky.
The original tomb-cloud has effectively been halved, little remaining except the cloud they now stand on, and even then they watch as the cloud they stand on pales, eventually turning white, the guard now standing out like little black specks, only 20, far less than any had estimated.
They look at each other and the leader, the one who spoke out before says "Crap, we are screwed, if any of you know anything about this, coming forth now is probably the only way to prevent yourself from execution." A few of the elements open their eyes in shock, but the royal guard that had come with them nod in agreement.
Slowly two of the black pony's break off from the other guard, their head hung low as they approach, dropping their spears and taking off their helmets, revealing one mare and one colt ."We believe it's our fault sir, we resign, and submit ourselves for questioning."
As the royal guard clap iron on the two the ponies watch the clawing thing reach altitudes that nopony could breath at eventually fading from site. Eventually Dash speaks "That was so suck, let's go back I want to find this whore."
