CHAPTER 2
Soarin looked at Rainbow, confused.
"Heh heh, well...uh...you see, it's a funny story..." she stammered.
He put a hoof over her mouth.
"I don't want to hear it. We've just gotta find a way to save every one, got it?" he asked.
She nodded as he removed his hoof.
"Come on, let's go to Ponyville, maybe somepony is there?" she asked.
He nodded in agreement, as they stood up.
"I guess we have to fly all the way," she said, sighing.
Soarin looked over, he saw Shining Armor and tapped Rainbow on the shoulder with a hoof.
"What is it, Soarin?" she asked.
He motioned towards where Shining Armor was standing. Rainbow flew over to him, Soarin not far behind her.
"Oh, Shining Armor, you have to help us! Please! We have no idea where everypony has been taken, we need more of us, but we need to stick together! Please help us!" she begged.
She looked at him, desperation in her eyes, and he smiled.
"Of course, I'll help you and Soarin" he said.
As rainbow turned back to Soarin, to explain who Shining Armor was, Shining Armor's eyes glowed a fierce green as he smiled evilly.
Rainbow smiled, as she and Soarin trotted over to Shining Armor, his eyes changed back to blue.
"Since you can't fly, Soarin and I have decided we're gonna walk with you, all the way to Ponyville and after that to Zecora's place in the Everfree forest. I'm sure she's still there, she's one tough cookie,"she said.
She smiled and started walking as Soarin looked at Shining Armor closely. Seeing a glint of bright green in his eyes, he jumped and ran to Rainbow as Shining Armor trotted up the rear. Soarin looked back at Shining Armor, then got closer to Rainbow.
"I think Shining Armor isn't really Shining Armor" he whispered.
She looked at him and said, "Huh?"
He looked back again, to make sure Shining Armor wasn't listening.
''I think he's a changeling..." he said nervously.
She laughed a little and rolled her eyes.
"And I think that the darkness is making you hallucinate. I mean, seriously, you saw that portal too. Only ponies went in, nothing came out," she said.
He lowered his head a little, thinking, 'I guess she's right. After all nothing could've come out of the portal, it was sucking in.'
He smiled and lifted his head again.
"Yeah, pretty stupid. I guess you're right..." he said.
"Right about what?" asked Shining Armor, suddenly right beside him.
"Oh, it's nothing, just that I'm really tired. Ya know, beat," he said.
Rainbow pointed towards the horizon.
"Hey look, we're coming up on Ponyville!" she said, grinning. The grin dematerialized as Ponyville came into full view.
"No...!" she yelled, looking at her old home, now completely destroyed.
She ran down the hill in search of her friends.
"Applejack!? Rarity!? Pinkie!? Where are you guys!?" she cried.
She burst through what remained of Twilight's door.
"Twilight?" she asked, as she walked into the library.
A blue tear slipped down her cheek as she realized her friends were gone. Soarin and Shining Armor came up behind her and each put a comforting hoof on one of her shoulders.
