//------------------------------// // Act Five // Story: Blood is Magic // by Crimson Rose //------------------------------// "THIS BUCKING SUCKS!!!!!" Dash screamed out, trying to break the door in the library. "DARK FIRE LET US OUT!!!!!!" "T-they took Twilight." Spike whimpered, his knees to his chest, hugging them, crying about what happened to Twilight. "Dashie, please calm down." Fluttershy whimpered as well. "I can't! That bucking Count took Twilight! We have to get her back!" Dash tries to break the door one more time, but this time, Crimson opened the door and Dash flies just above her head, hitting the fountain with her head, causing a crack to form on the stone. "You need to calm down if you want to rescue your friend." Crimson said, looking at the cyan pegasus with disbelief that she's going to help the village. "And just where were you, bat?" Rainbow Dash snarled getting up in Crimson's face. Crimson took her hoof and shoved her away. "Trying to make sure we don't have another Nightmare Moon incident." she said, looking at the clearly angered Luna, but she was calmed down to where she won't turn. Dark fire disappeared from the group so they were left alone. "Dark Fire teleported away as soon as Count Blackheart took Twilight. He had to get something he said. So for now we are on our own." "We don't even know where the count put her!" Rainbow Dash snapped. "We don't know our way around this place!" "W-why would the count take Twilight?" Fluttershy asked, choked up on her tears. "I don't know, but from what I heard, he loves to dissect things. Anyone who is unique and a rarity." Crimson said. "We must find Twilight Sparkle, that is our top priority." Luna said, putting her two bits in. "Then we'll bring the count and his countess down." "Princess Luna's right, now if I'm correct, we go to that meanie Count Blackheart's lab and get her out." Coral said before walking over to Spike and helped him up. "You need to shape up if we are going to rescue your guardian." "I-i'll try." Spike said, sniffling. "But where is that lab?" Rainbow growled, feeling like they were wasting time just squadling around. "In the tower," The shrunken head from before called out. "His lab is at the north west tower, you mares can fly up there." "Then let us make haste." Luna said, taking off. Spike got on fluttershy and they took off, Rainbow did also. Coral got above her mother, wrapping her tail around Crimson and lifting her up, flying off with her to the tower. As They flew, Crimson heard something and tugged on Coral. She too heard something before flying towards the noise. "What is she doing?" Luna asked curiously before flying after Crimson. Rainbow and Fluttershy looked at each other before flying after the bat mare. When Coral landed, putting her mother gently on the ground, she noticed something was moving. A faint smile fell on her face, it was a little filly batacorn. And she was dancing. "We must not get distracted, Crimson Rose." Luna sand, looking at her. "Put your maternal instincts aside and focus on the task." Crimson nods, breaking her gaze from the filly. "Of course princess, Coral?" "Yes, mama." coral said, wrappign her tail around Crimson and took off. When they got to the lab, they immediately spot Twilight. She was in some sort of cage and could barely lift her head. "I got her." Rainbow said, rushing towards her. "Rainbow no!" Twilight shouted at her, trying to get the cyan mare to stop but she couldn't. When Rainbow hit the cage, she was electrocuted. "The count boobytrapped it." Luna said. "Are you alright Twilight?" Spike asked Twilight, clearly worried sick about her and making sure he doesn't touch the cage. "I am." twilight lied. Crimson looked around the cage, when she found the lock, she frowned. "We need a key." "I bet blackheart has it." Rainbow dash growled, shaking the electricity off. "I'm fine." "How are we going to get it?" Fluttershy asked. "You mares couldn''t hear, but that alicorn filly from before talked about a ball that's tonight." Crimson said. "the Count may have the key on him." "Somepony may have to disguise herself and get close to the count and the key." Lina said. "But, who?" Twilight asked. Then six of the seven members looked at Crimson Rose at the same time. "Oh feathersticks." Crimson sighed
