_____*The cave twenty minutes later/ four rooms later*_____
Firefly walked alongside her sister through the cave as they slowly explored it, Gwen had recovered enough to at least walk normally.
Gwen sighed as they exited another room. "This place is a maze." She said in annoyance.
Firefly chuckled and looked at her sister. "Good to see your back to normal, and I'm aware about this place, we just need to find the right path." She said.
Gwen groaned and leaned against the wall. "Your idea sucks." She said.
Firefly rolled her eyes. "It's not my fault." She countered.
Gwen gave Firefly an accusing glare. "Your the one who said to take shelter in a cave." She snapped.
Firefly gasped and mockingly held her hoof over her heart. "You wound me!" She said dramatically.
Gwen sighed at her sisters antics and stood back up. "Come on, let's just get out of here." She said.
Firefly nodded. "Ditto." She replied with a grin.
______*the Everfree forest Fang and Roxanne's POV*_____
Fang walked through the forest with his partner in search of their missing friends. "Gwen! You out here?" He called.
"Come on Gwen this isn't funny!" Roxanne shouted.
Fang looked up at the sky and say the sun was almost above them. "Roxie, we need to hurry up." He said simply.
Roxanne nodded and ran over to a nearby tree and started to climb and reached a sturdy branch that she held on to. "I'll let you know if I see something!" She shouted down at her partner.
Fang nodded and got down on all fours and started to run forward. "I'll meet you back here in a few minutes!" He replied.
He ran, he ran as fast as his feet would carry him, he was determined to find his friends and he wouldn't stop. "I just hope that the others did as I told them." He said under his breath before sighing.
"Who am I kidding?" He asked no one in particular.
______*the cave, Gwen and Fire's POV*_____
Gwen mentally slapped herself. "This is dumb!" She shouted.
Firefly covered her ears and winced. "Calm down Gwen! I have a mental map in my head, we just need to keep looking alright?" She replied.
Gwen took a few deep breaths and nodded. "Your right, I guess having my wings broken has made me loopy." She replied grimly.
Firefly sighed. "Gwen listen, this cave can't be that big, so if we keep going we will find the exit." She said optimistically.
Gwen gave her sister a confused and irritated look. "How can you be so optimistic?" She asked in annoyance.
Firefly grinned. "Because I prefer to look on the bright side." She replied simply.
Gwen frowned. "What bright side?" She asked.
Firefly smiled. "For one we got to have some quality sister time and the fact remains that once we get out of here your wings will be healed." She replied.
Gwen sighed. "Fine, but what I'm curious about is why your wings weren't broken." She wondered.
Firefly shrugged. "I don't know, maybe whoever brought us back here thought it would take longer for me to escape? Or knew that I wouldn't leave you alone." She replied.
A mysterious laugh came from somewhere in the cave. "Well now, I wasn't expecting you to be up and about so soon." Came a voice.
Firefly and Gwen looked around for the source of the voice but saw only darkness.
"Show yourself!" Gwen shouted.
The voice laughed. "Let's play a game, if you find me you find me, if you don't you don't." The voice replied.
Firefly sighed. "And why should we play?" She asked.
The voice was silent. "Because I know the fastest way out of this place." It replied.
Gwen growled in anger. "This is going to be annoying." She replied.
Firefly shook her head. "Come on Gwen, we might as well play along." She said.
Gwen scoffed. "Fine but I'm not going easy on him, her, whoever!" She shouted.
The voice laughed again. "If you keep that up your not going to find me." It replied in a patronizing tone.
Firefly sighed and started to walk off. "Come on Gwen lets get this over with." She said.
Gwen sighed and nodded. "I know just the music that would fit this game." She stated.
Firefly looked at her with a raised eyebrow. "Huh?" She asked.
Gwen smirked. "Not telling." She replied.
Firefly rolled her eyes and the sisters began to move room to room and tunnel to tunnel to find the source of the voice.
Time seemed to speed up as Firefly and Gwen made a very rapid and hilarious series of motions and they went from the rooms, from Gwen being tiny from down the tunnel to Firefly walking on the roof.
______*twenty minutes later. (Because I'm to lazy to make the entire search scene)*______
Firefly and Gwen entered the room with caution and looked around carefully.
Gwen walked into the room and Immediately noticed something wrong with a nearby wall. "Firefly, over there." She whispered pointing to the corner.
Firefly nodded and slowly moved closer to the corner and noticed the problem as well, it was protruding unnaturally and so Firefly stopped and grinned. "We win." She proclaimed.
A sigh of disappointment came from the wall and the wall phased away revealing a unicorn, the unicorn lit its horn and reavealed its features.
The unicorn was a mare with a silvery aura and silver eyes, a white and gray mane and tail with a dull white coat, the mares cutie mark was three gears, one large, a smaller one inside it and then a smaller one inside the second one.
However the most prominent features about the mare was two of her legs, the front left and back right leg were robotic, Firefly and Gwen shared a brief look before shrugging.
The mare noticed this. "What's the matter never seen a girl with cybernetics before?" She teased.
Firefly chuckled. "Nope, can't say I have." She replied.
Gwen rolled her eyes. "Then I have to disappoint you because I have, just not in that sense." She said.
The three shared a moment of silence before the mare cleared her throat.
"Well that was fun." The mare said with a small smile.
Gwen gave the mare a look of confusion while Firefly grinned. "Yep, well now, we might want to start off with introductions." Firefly said which made Gwen groan.
The mare nodded and shotup a small ball of light at the ceiling with her magic which illuminated the room.
Gwen sighed. "I'll start off I guess." She said and looked at the mare. "My name is Gwen, but most just call me Dash." She replied.
Firefly nodded and held out a hoof to the mare which the mare went to shake but Firefly shook her head and made a bumping motion with her hoof. "Names Firefly, you?" She asked.
The mare then bumped Firefly's hoof. "Darkestlight." She replied.
Firefly nodded and leaned against a nearby wall. "You wouldn't happen to know what happened to my sisters wings would you?" She asked In a serious tone.
Darkestlight sighed and shook her head. "Sadly no, they were like that when I found you." She said.
Firefly raised an eyebrow. "Wings don't break on their own, also why did you separate us?" She asked.
Darkestlight sighed again and sat down against the wall. "I didn't separate you two so I could hurt you if that's what your asking, I did it to protect you." She replied sadly.
Gwen growled. "Explain, now." She said firmly.
Darkestlight nodded and rubbed her temples. "Alright, you see when i found you two, Gwen's wings were a lot worse than they are now, and I mean it was brutal." She replied.
Firefly nodded. "Go on." She said calmly.
"At first I assumed you were attacked but found no evidence to support that theory, I also ruled out you two being enemies pretty quickly as only Gwen had any injuries, the only thing that I could do was heal Gwen at the time." She continued.
Gwen looked at Firefly who seemed to be deep in thought, Gwen looked at Darkestlight who took a deep breath. "So why did you separate us?" Gwen asked.
Darkestlight looked at Firefly who nodded patiently. "The reason I did so was just to make sure that if I was wrong and you were enemies it would at least buy me some time to finish healing Gwen." She replied.
Firefly looked at the ceiling. "So where were you when we woke up?" She asked.
Darkestlight stood up. "I was searching for herbs, I just didn't expect you to wake up so quickly, I did put a sleeping spell on you both after all." She replied but was confused at Firefly and Gwen's reaction, they laughed.
"Why are you laughing?" She asked.
Firefly managed to get control of her laughing after a few moments. "We were knocked out so many times but those spells we built a resistance to them." She explained.
Darkestlight nodded. "Ah, well anyway, when I got back I heard you two bickering, so I decided to investigate, and you know the rest." She replied.
Gwen sighed and leaned against the wall. "Alright, I think it's time we got out of here." She said.
Firefly nodded. "Yea, so Darkestlight, can you get us out of here?" She asked.
Darkestlight nodded. "Sure, but on one condition." She said.
Gwen sighed. "Of course, what is it?" She asked.
Darkestlight grinned. "You take me with you." She replied simply.
Firefly raised an eyebrow at this. "Why would you want to come along? you don't even know where we're going." She asked.
Darkestlight gave Firefly a look that screamed 'are you serious?' "Really? your asking me why I would rather go somewhere instead of being stuck in a dark gloomy cave that smells like dirt, gee I wonder why." She said sarcastically.
Gwen groaned. "Ok we get it!" She shouted.
Firefly sighed and then grinned. "Why not? we already have a large group, the more the merrier." She replied.
Gwen rolled her eyes. "Fine you can come but only because my sister wants you to come." She replied as the light died out.
Darkestlight beemed and lit her horn to light up to light the room.
Firefly smiled and walked out of the room with Darkestlight behind her.
Gwen facepalmed and followed her sister and newest companion out of the room.
_____*the Everfree forest Roxanne and Fang's POV*_____
Fang walked up to the tree that Roxanne was climbing down and waited. "See anything Roxie?" He asked impatiently.
Roxanne landed on the ground and looked at her partner with a smile. "Yep, I found a cave, it's likely that Gwen and Firefly used that as shelter." She said.
Fang's face literally lit up as he smiled. "Which way?" He asked.
Roxanne nodded. "Follow me." She said.
The pair ran off with Roxanne leading and Fang close behind.
_____*the cave entrance two minutes later*____
Firefly and Gwen shielded their eyes from the suns rays of light as they exited the cave. "Ah fresh air." Firefly said.
Gwen smiled. "It's been so long." She said.
Darkestlight rolled her eyes. "Really? It's been one day." She pointed out.
Gwen groaned. "Not the point, it feels like forever!" She said loudly.
Firefly rolled her eyes and the trio walked together in a triangular formation. "Alright, let's just get back to camp." She said.
Darkestlight nodded and continued walking.
Gwen smiled and ran up ahead of her sister. "Race you there!" She challenged.
Firefly shook her head. "Nope, not racing a cripple." She teased.
Gwen sighed in disappointment. "You're no fu..." All of a sudden a familiar white and black wolf appeared out of nowhere. "Surprise!" He shouted as a blast of magic hit him.
"Whoa!" Darkestlight shouted as the wolf fell over.
Firefly rolled her eyes and she walked over to Fang. "Hey, you alright?" She asked.
Fang coughed. "Ow." He said.
Gwen heard a laugh next to her and she looked over to see Roxanne. "Hey Roxanne." She said.
Roxanne looked at Fang and laughed somewhat mechanically. "Ohoho Fang, you got fucked up!" She stated.
Fang looked at his partner. "Ha ha ha." He laughed sarcastically.
Firefly walked over to Darkestlight. "Hey you alright?" She asked.
Darkestlight nodded. "Yea, yea I'm fine." She said blankly.
Fang sighed and slowly stood up. "Who's your friend Gwen?" He asked.
Gwen looked between Fang and Darkestlight. "Fang this is Darkestlight, Darkestlight this is Fang." She said.
Fang nodded and rubbed his chest. "Maybe next time we could 'not almost kill me?" He said.
This statement only caused everyone to laugh.
