//------------------------------// // Rescuing Twilight // Story: Twilight, Rainbow and Pinkie: The Three Musketeers // by HarvyDraws //------------------------------// Meanwhile at the dungeon of Tartarus, Twilight saw the tide coming in. The purple unicorn looks around and she saw a ruler going about 11 ft. up. There is a sign on the top saying 'You must be 11 ft. tall to survive this dungeon' and her eyes widened. "Hang on, Twilight! We're coming!" Pinkie calls out in determination while galloping and carrying Rainbow on her back and following Spike. "Let me go! Let me go! Pinkie! Discord is going to kill us!" Rainbow exclaims, struggling in Pinkie's hold when they arrive on the boat. "Discord or no Discord Twilight’s our friend and we got to save her? All for one and one for all. Remember? I know Tartarus is the most horrifying of evil in all of Equestria but we gotta go in there." Pinkie exclaims, pointing a hoof at the dungeon. Lightning flashes as if showing that evil monstrous face. Rainbow gulps then screams in terror. She got out of the boat, digging a hole and puts her head in the hole. "Oh man!" Spike groans a bit. "Could this be the end of the three musketeers?" Pinkie ask looking at Spike. Narrant pops out of nowhere and remarks in determination. He then begins singing while shouting. [Narrant] This is the end!! This is the end!! Rainbow's friends yelp, they hold onto each other while looking at Narrant who sang and shouts at her some more while he plays. [Narrant] That Rainbow Dash has left poor Twilight there out to drown Rainbow cringes as she hears the singing. [Narrant] And Pinkie trusted her, but Rainbow let her down We all berate her, Because we hate her!! Rainbow tries to ignore Narrant but the words are making her angrier. Rainbow took her head out, getting very ticked off. [Narrant] She's a traitor, vacillator! She's a lousy second-rater! Mangy mallard, she’s a coward That doesn't make sense! Rainbow's destiny has soured! It's the end! Rainbow has had it. She rushes over and grabs Narrant's instrument, smashing it into pieces. "I’ll show you!" shouted Rainbow. "That way, my friend" Narrant said as he points his hoof to the others in the boat, heading off to the dungeon. The rainbow pony nods as she flies after her friends "hey guys, wait for me!" Rainbow came back to shake his hoof. "Thanks for the song" Rainbow then flew to her friends and jumps into the boat. Pinkie grins upon seeing her again "Rainbow!" "You came back!" Spike giggles as he and Pinkie hugs Rainbow. Rainbow smiles as she transforms back into her musketeer self again. "Come on guys! We got to save Twilight!" Rainbow exclaims in. Once the gang reaches the land, Spike got out first and leads his friends to the dungeons. Pinkie yells out "we’re coming, Twilight!" Inside the prison, it is now filled with water. Twilight is trying to get loose from the chains but no luck. She went to the surface and get some air. But the water by this time is so dangerously near the top, it is impossible. Twilight does her best to hold her breath as hard as she could. But soon, Twilight stops as she begins to faints, preparing to drown. She fails to open her eyes to see two familiar figures diving in and getting to her, pulling the chain off Twilight very hard until it broke... Suddenly a familiar voice spoke up, "Twilight?" Another familiar voice is heard, "Twilight, come back to us, friend?" "Look I think she’s coming out of it" said Spike. Twilight opens her eyes and seeing her friends looking at her. Twilight spits out some water. Looking around, the purple unicorn spoke, "Rainbow Dash? Pinkie Pie? Spike?" Her Friends smiles. "Pinkie, Discord told me you were a goner." "Shucks, I ain't..." Pinkie was interrupted by Twilight by hugging her. "...going nowhere without you, Twilight." "Hey" said Rainbow. Twilight stops hugging Pinkie, spotting Rainbow. "Rainbow, you came back" Twilight starts hugging Rainbow. "Of course I did." Rainbow said. Then Spike jumped up to Twilight and hugged her and said "Twilight, I'm glad you’re alive." "I'm glad too Spike" said Twilight while hugging Spike. "We wouldn't let you down, Twilight. Because we’re your friends" said Pinkie. Rainbow reveals Twilight's hat and gave it to her friend, she said, "Got your hat Twilight. We’ve got to save the princess. Don’t you remember. All for one..." "Yeah" Pinkie replied. "Oh guys, we're not even real musketeers." Twilight said in a sad tone. "Not real musketeers? Who says so? Listen, Rainbow Dash maybe a coward. No offence." Pinkie said. "And I know you’re just a smart mare and knows everything and I maybe just a random dumb pony. But I manage to make a pony laugh, but I know one more thing." Pinkie pats Twilight on the head making her giggle. "When the three of us stick together..." "We can do anything" said Rainbow. "And not Discord or nopony else can stop us!" said Twilight when the three ponies put their hoofs together. "Come on, there is no doubt about it musketeers, but we got a princess to save!" said Twilight and off they go out of the dungeon and off the opera show.
