"We need to get moving." I said. 

"Right." They all said as we headed to the entrance to the ruins. 

It was a run down grey stone castle. The walls were falling in and the columns looked as if they could collapse at any minute. 

"Where did they put it!" A voice said from up ahead. 

I put my finger to my lips as I turned and headed towards the room. I peered around the corner to see a giant dilapidated throne room. There were two pegasi dressed all in black. Only they're heads were exposed. One had jet black hair and the other had bright orange. I recognized them as members of my squad, they were my lead scouts. 

"Do you know those two?" Twilight asked, clearly reading my expression. 

I watched as they tore the place apart looking for Prince Blackblood's armor. 

"They're the top members of my squad. The one with black hair is Midnight Wing, the other one is his brother Thunder Skies." I said quietly. 

"What should we do?" Fluttershy asked. 

I thought for a minute. 

"I have a plan. But, I don't think you'll like it." I said as I looked at Rarity. 

"What?" She asked. 

I just smiled at her. 

"I need you to use your looks to distract them long enough for me to get behind them on the other end of the room." I said. 

She just sighed.

"Is there no other way? I mean look at those two. They look absolutely dreadful, darling." She replied. 

I just looked at her. 

"Fine." She said. 

"Thank you. Just keep them looking away from the right side of the room. Also, keep them in the center of it as well." I said as she made her way into the open. 

She cleared her throat. 

"Yoo hoo, boys. Can you help a lady out?" She asked in a sultry voice. 

She walked into the room and made her way around to the left side. They kept their eyes on her the entire time. Just like I planned. 

"How did you get over that chasm?" Midnight asked. 

"Well, I was riding along in my hot air balloon, when out of nowhere this huge gust of wind swept me out of the basket. It was Simply dreadful." Rarity said as I made my way along the wall behind them. 

I moved along quickly to avoid being spotted. 

"You seem to be fine to me." Thunder said. 

"Oh, but I feel faint." Rarity said as she collapsed. 

Midnight caught her before she hit the ground. 

I was almost to the other end. Rarity cracked her eye open and looked at me. I motioned for her to get them back together. She stood up and pushed Midnight away. 

"You ruffian. How dare you try to get fresh with me." She said as I cut the rope holding the chandelier that they stood under. 

It fell down and trapped them both.
