All right, we're in! Spike?
Yes, Twilight?
Take a letter.
With pleasure! "We're on our way"
Wait... do you hear that? I hear crying! Applebloom! Come on, she's this way!
Post #2
Everypony okay?
Ya'll nearly got yerself killed! We heard yer cryin' and rushed over here quick as we could.
See, Applebloom? I told you it'd work! My fake crying is PRETTY convincing if I do say so myself. Maybe I have a future in show business!
That was Pinkie crying? You know what, it doesn't matter. Do you know where they're keeping Cadance and my brother?
They wouldn't say! Aren't bad guys suppose ta tell you their master plan when they ponynap you?
Quick! Put this on!
Um... this is a chicken costume.
Exactly! They're looking for ponies, but WE'LL be disguised as harmless chickens! Do your best chicken impression. Here's mine
Pinkie, we don't have time for this! Can you use your Pinkie Sense to locate my brother or not?
Don't have to! They're this way.
Now how in tarnation d'ya know that?
Oh, it's easy! Everywhere else smells like rotting cheese, but this way the air is less foul. My great granny Pinkie told me whenever you're not sure, always follow your nose! Of course, she was talking about baking, but it's still great advice don't you think?
Well, what're we waitin' for? Let's go save them!
Hold on there, missy! I'm gettin' you outa here, first. This is no place fer a filly to be runnin' around.
But, Applejack, I caint just sit back and do nothin'. I wanna help!
I agree it's not safe, but there may be no time to get her out and still make it in time. Come on, we have to keep moving.
Wait, do you hear that?
Yea, sounds like some more of them changeling creatures!
RRROOOAAAAARRRRR!!! RAAAWWRRR! GRRRROOWWLLLLL!
Ahh! There's some fearsome creature in the castle! Call the queen, it's a dragon!
*Squee*
Works for me, let's go!

Before you say anything, just know I was trying to save you.
James, what were you thinking? You're in no condition to be moving around like this.
I know, but when I didn't hear from you for a while, I just thought... sorry...
It's okay. I know you were thinking of us.
Don't worry about it, sugarcube. We'll find a way out of this.
If you guys are wondering what happened, which I'm sure you are, I went to go rescue Twilight and managed to get myself caught. Then Queen Chrysalis used me to capture the others as well, and... now we're sitting in an underground barred cage with Cadance and Shining Armor.
And we need ta figure some way out of this!
I might be able to use my horn to heat up and soften these bars until they're soft enough to bend. Then Applejack could buck them off, and
I'm out!
Huh? Pinkie?! How did you escape?
I just went between the bars! They're far enough apart to squeeze through. If you had been paying attention, you would have seen Applebloom do that five minutes ago! She's snagging some keys from some guards right now, so you'll be outta there in no time!
Well, I see how Applebloom squeezed through, but how did you?
Twilight. There's a saying on earth you may need to keep in mind. Don't question the Pinkie logic. You'll only drive yourself crazy. ...and we don't want to see you crazy. Trust me.
Okay. But when we get a chance, I'd like to watch her a bit and study how she does these things. For now, let's just focus on getting back home. I think Sapphire's around here somewhere.
Sapphire? That traitor! The first chance he got, he
No, James, Queen Chrysalis got wind that he was betraying them and switched him out with a different changeling to pretend to be me and lead the group here. We can trust him.
Hmm... we'll see... now, here's the plan the readers came up with to get us out of here with both your brother and his bride. Contact the other unicorns, and we'll get started.
Post #5
Hey, guys, I don't know why the last post didn't go through. Twilight tried to post while we were running. I don't remember much except us passing a carriage and Twilight yelling to stick to the plan. I only remember that because I remember you guys talking about it earlier and it got me a laugh. Anyway, we're safe and with Shining Armor and Cadance. Not sure where Sapphire is.
But I'm posting to let you guys know something happened. If we were planning on getting into the castle, we may need a new plan. I don't know how he did it, but Stormcloud put together some kind of propeller-thing and literally lifted the castle into the sky. Actually, it's several propellers... anyway, the castle is now airborn and traveling the skies. It's been going around blasting its fireballs at random places. Say goodbye to Sweet Apple Acres (even though he controlled that territory in the first place).
Another thing I wanted to say is I'm letting Twilight take over for good. Everypony here seems more comfortable following her, and I'm feeling worse everyday. So I'm going to focus my attention on finding a way home, and Twilight can lead from here. I'll stay in touch, probably. But... I feel like I'm dead right now. It's been over a week, and I feel like I haven't slept since I got here. And who wants to follow a child pony who can't even see clearly? But don't worry, Twilight knows what she's doing!
Lady Twilight Sparkle, please tell us what is happening over there. Where are you currently, what is your status?
Pinkie, when you get back, you will be free to throw a party. You deserve it for heroism.
Please don´t tell this roar was Spike! If it´s him, tell me he is still in control of himself.
3433317 check my previous comment
3433576 This is because the comment doesn´t answer my questions. Why would we need more pegasi if the groups consists of earth ponies? Additionaly it would be possible to carry everyone/everypony out with carriages that are pulled by pegasi so we would need lesser pegasi. So my plan would help us to divert the attention from Twilight.
3433661 Yes true but I see one problem, we haven't any carriages.
3434000 They could be obtained within the city on short notice. We can use any carriages that we can get our hands/hoffs on, the internal magic from pegasi would decrease the weight of it and it´s pessangers so it could be used to evacuate at the LZ.
3434095 Yes but You want put their safety on risk if we find or not a carriages in CE. I will tell you first rule of war. Every unknown means dead men (or ponies). If you plan a mission you can't simply assume they will probably find something.
3434133 I give you that, it is a unknown variable if we would be able to find a carriage. We have not enough information on our targets, yes ok, we really should change that in the future. I think you agree with me on that, thank you for the correction, I try not to make such a mistake again in the future. Before you wonder, I am always willing to learn.
So I would suggest an alteration of my suggestion, we can not add the carriage as fix part of the plan but as a additional goal so it would be easier to get away, I mean if obtainable get it, if not then let it go. The costumes I would use at any rate, because Twilight wild draw attention, Alicorns are not that common. Additionaly if Twilight is able to use illusion magic, she should be able to disguise them other crystal ponies when they left the castle and let their costumes back.
3433573 no, it's not spike, he's back on our side now.
That was pinkies dragon impersonation.
3434257 Ohhhhh, ok that is Pinkie for you. Did she have a dragon costume in a secret stash in case of a changeling invasion that would try to impersonate Shining Armor and Cadence?
3434285 nah, she just did basically did the same thing she did when she climbed up the mountain to the dragon.
3434389 You mean at the end as she "surprised " Rainbow Dash?
3434406
Yeppers!
Orders: twily, put the plan into action.
3434666 Little question, which plan? We discussed quite a few of them.
3434676
According to the most recent story post. Apparently twily knows which one she wants us to use. And I trust Twilight's judgement.
3434696 I am a little concerned about our enemy, they are rather passiv and I really don´t like this.
3434714
I know, but there's not much we can do, except build up our forces to prepare for the coming sh*tstorm.
Does eneyone other than me thing somthing bad is goning to happen soon? Hmm........na that would be stupid......unless..........no that won't work ether.......Darn I'm thinking out loud again.
Well, I guess now it's a...
*sunglasses*
Castle in the sky.
Edit: wait, it's canterlot? Not the empire, but canterlot?
DAMN YOU, STORMCLOUD, DAMN YOU!
The only thing that comes to my mind currently is "What just happened?". The whole castle is flying, with propellers *rub eyes and read again....*. Is that possible, a whole castle, a structure that big, with an innumerable weight, a structure, not build to hold together in the air, flying? You are kidding, right?
Sorry that is ... a little hard to accept. Firstly the fact that it flies, secondly that it is armed and has enough firepower to destroy Sweet Apple Acres within a short amount of time.
To Twilight Sparkle:
So lets the start again Miss Sparkle:
1) Where are you currently?
2) Do we know the status of our hq?
3) Do we know what is used to power the propellers?
4) How strong is the enemy?
5) Have we any guards from the Crystal empire?
6) Do we have any information concerning Sapphire?
7) Are the dungeons within the castle or are they embedded in the mountain?
8) Habe we any idea where the princesses are hold?
9) How are the defences of the "flying fortress"?
10) Do we currently have some parasprites?
11) Is the caste still within a shield?
And please check if everypony of you is the one they should be, make a test, as far as I know, Twilight that you should have the ability to unmask every possible changeling spy with your magic.
On a more personal note, Twilight how are you, Shining Armor, Princess Mi Amore Cadenza, Applejack, Rarity, Fluttershy, Pinkie, Spike, Apple Bloom and the others, can we do something for you? Do any of you need medical attention?
Please look out for James, he doesn´t sound so good, we are worried about him. How does Sahrah holds up, has she the same problems? My last question is concerning what we last discussed, did you have time to research a way for us to come to your aid? We are concerned about the long chain of communication and it´s vulnerability. A few of us, including me, wish to come over to you and help you directly. I hope you are all allright, we are really grateful and happy that you are ok and we all want to congratulate to the successful rescue mission. Again you have shown that friendship can overcome any problems if all work together to reach a common goal, I bow to your hope, to your bravery, and your determination ladies, gentlestallion, gentledragon and all others.
Please let Applejack know that when we have a portal working, that I will personaly come and help her rebuild everything no matter how long it takes and how much work will be needed.
Shining armor, you are best pony.
That is all.
3435537 and again, you display why I made you the PR specialist for the rebellion.
3435666 Thank you for your words, I only try all I can to help everyone/everypony. That is all I wish for.
Twilight if you read this, I have written down a few questions to you in an older commend little below this message. I would be really grateful if you could read them. Thank you.
James, no! Please, don't go.....
