Applejack and Pinkie Pie looked out the window and saw hundreds of thousands of barbarians.

"Uh Avalanche are those ponies part of the war camp you mentioned." Applejack asked.

"Yes, It seems that they have found me, but how." Avalanche said.

"Well maybe it the tracking device in the room we have" Pinkie said.

"What!" Avalanche shouted. 

"Yeah, while the guard showed us to our room, I spotted something flashing under the bed, so I took a sneak peek and saw a tracking device." Pinkie Explained.

Avalanche kept pacing back and forth trying to figure out how the tracking device got there. Then she looked at one of the guards. She saw something on him that she has never noticed before. He had a scar on his left hind hoof. Avalanche looked out of the window and saw that each and every soldier had a scar on there left hind hoofs.

Avalanche knew at once that one of the guards was a spy. She went to Pinkie Pie and Applejack.

"Go get the guard on the right and tell him to arrest the captain guard" Avalanche whispered.

Oh and tell him that I told you to tell him" She continued.

Applejack and Pinkie Pie went over to the guard and told him the whole story about the captain being a spy.

The guard went over to the captain and put cuffs on the guards hooves.

"Sir you are arrested for being a spy and will be put in the dungeon for the rest of your life." Said the guard.

"Wait how did you know I was a spy" The spy said.

"Well if you look on all the other soldiers they have the same scar on there left hind hoof." The guard said.

The spy just grunted and was taken to the dungeon. Avalanche was happy to see one of her guards to seek justice for once because there are almost never intruders.

"Thank you both for finding out how the soldiers from the war camp found me, but I'm afraid there is no time to talk. We must get you home before you ponies get killed." Avalanche said.

Applejack and Pinkie Pie followed Avalanche to the secret escape door. Before Avalanche opened the door she told them how to escape.

"Okay at the end of the battlefield there are hot air balloons were the enemies landed. Carefully sneak through the soldiers and get in one of the balloons." Avalanche said.

"Have a safe trip and we wish you all good luck." Avalanche continued

Pinkie and Applejack both nodded there heads and went out the door.
