Escaping from Death

Meanwhile the queen and Misty were back in the throne room as Misty begins talking

"Now what?! Zipp almost noticed I was working for you!" Misty said in worry

"Not to worry Misty, I know, and that's why I've got a new task for you, a task only you and the huntsman can accomplish together" Grimhilde said

"Really?! What's that task?" Misty asked

"I'll tell you once he gets here" The queen said

Just then a knock is heard on the door

"Hey miss, you called?! Can I come in?!" A voice said from behind the door

"Sure, come on in" The queen said

After that Misty could only look in worry as then a fat guy walked in with black hair, green eyes and a black beard and mustache, he wore a green hunting hat with a red feather, a green blouse with a light brown chestplate on top which had a black cross near the chest, a brown belt with a golden piece in the middle and a golden knife pocket on the right of the belt, black pants and brown boots

"Alright, thanks for coming, you and Misty will be doing a task together" Grimhilde said

"Uh, what kind of task" The fat guy answered

The fat guy then went closer to the throne as Grimhilde nodded to Misty who then joined him

"Take them far into the forest, find them some secluded glade where they can pick some wildflowers or take a break" Grimhilde explained

"Yes your majesty" The fat guy said

"That sounds easy enough, anyone can pull this off!" Misty said

"Silence!" Grimhilde roared while standing up which frightened Misty and the fat guy a bit as Grimhilde went back to her chair "And there, my faithful huntsman and assistant, you will kill them and give me Sparky alive!" Grimhilde explained loud and clear

"But your majesty, the little princess, her friends---" The fat guy started

"Silence!" Grimhilde roared again standing up which made Misty and the fat guy frightened before glared daggers at the duo reminded them of something "You both know the penalty if you fail!" Grimhilde reminded angrily

"Yes your majesty" The fat guy said

"Opaline told me the same thing too, so I won't fail!" Misty said

"But to make doubly sure you do not fail, bring back their hearts in this" Grimhilde ordered

Grimhilde then showed the duo a red chest with a golden lid in the form of an knife through the heart with the sides being decorated in green before Misty levitates the chest to herself and the fat guy

(Author's Note: I'm not sure if the music ends at the right time you finish but if it doesn't stop here)

"We won't fail you Grimhilde, we promise" Misty said

Misty and the fat guy then walked off as Grimhilde smiled before she went to the mirror

"Magic mirror on the wall, let me speak to the so called Opaline, Misty speaks of" Grimhilde ordered

"Yes your majesty" The mirror said

After saying that the screen lit up showing the throne room of Opaline's castle as Grimhilde smiled evily at her

"Yes, what is it that you want, I'm busy!" Opaline explained in disbelief

"I just have some good news to tell you which you'll find really good to believe" Grimhilde announced

"If it's so good that you have to tell me now and not at another time, then do so!" Opaline ordered angrily

"Okay, okay, I will, I just wanted to say Misty's here with me and she's gonna be helping both me and you with the dragon, besides she's on her way ready to go and kill the five ponies" Grimhilde explained

"You mean Sunny and her friends, tell her that it's a good idea, and if she gets the dragon, tell me so I can get my Ultimate power!" Opaline said

"Don't forget about me! Because we will win together and Pipp will be doomed!" Grimhilde said

"Yes! Also don't worry if you fail because there's a fall proof teleportation magic all around so if you fall, you will have a low chance of dying" Opaline said

"I'll keep it in mind" Grimhilde said

"In the other Universes, there's other types of teleportation things so nothing will happen to them so don't expect me to let you all die so easily, after all, there will be one... last... showdown!" Opaline said

After saying that Opaline and Grimhilde laughed menacingly

After a while our pony heroes along with Sparky and Snow White were in a secluded glade far from the town as the five ponies along with Misty talked and laughed together while Hitch held Sparky closeby him

"Wow! Next time you should tell us before sneaking into the 'Mare Stream' but after hearing your story it sounds really fun!" Sunny said laughing

"Sounds a bit more suspicious to me" Zipp said suspiciously

"Come on Zipp! What's the worst that could happen?" Izzy asked

"Yeah, it's not like we'll be under attack from some magical being and they are trying to kill us!" Hitch explained

"I know but this really seems suspicious, I mean, Misty could be lying for all we know" Zipp said

"What?! No I won't?! When was the last time I lied?" Misty asked

"Alright, if you won't tell me then I will have to force it out!" Zipp said proudly

"How would you do that? She seems awfully sure!" Pipp said

"By a single word and that's 'Interrogating!'" Zipp said

"Okay, give it a shot but I'm sure it will not work, right Hitch?" Sunny asked

"Yeah, I've been through a lot of interrogating before even though it was harsh" Hitch said

"Tell me about it" Zipp said in disbelief as he shook his head before he regained his composure "Alright, first question, what made you think the lantern was the source of all pony magic?!" Zipp asked

"Because it looked so beautiful I thought it was, why?" Misty asked

"No reason, did you befriend Izzy or did you just do that to trick us?" Zipp asked

After asking that Misty started to sweat a bit

"Uh, I befriended Izzy" Misty answered

"I'm almost breaking you, right?" Zipp asked

"Of course not!" Misty answered nervously

"One last question! Are you really our friend?!" Zipp asked flying into Misty's face

"Uh, yeah, definitely, I'm definitely not lying about us being friends!" Misty said nervously

After saying that Misty began to sweat profusely which made Sunny split the two apart

"Enough!" Sunny called out before she along with her friends turned to Misty worriedly "Is she right, are you lying about us being friends, tell us the truth, we won't be mad" Sunny said

After saying that Misty turned to the six of them while worried before she sighs in defeat

"Fine, I'll telll you the truth" Misty said in defeat

"I know it's not okay to gloat but hah! We've caught you redhoofed!" Zipp said

Just then Pipp slapped Zipp in the back of the head who then turned around rubbing it as he noticed Pipp shaking his head iin anger which made him chuckle nervously

"Tell us please, we'll believe you" Sunny said

"I've been working for Opaline for years now 9 or so years if you know what I mean" Misty explained

"Wait a minute! You're working with Opaline! The one Twilight warned us about?!" Hitch asked

"Yes, and she told me that if I were to get my Cutie Mark I had to do what she says and if I didn't I'd have no friends" Misty said

"Of course you do have friends! Us! And while we may be mad about what you did, you did apologize for it!" Izzy said

"So what's the plan now that the truth is out?" Pipp asked

"I don't know, normally I'd have an idea but now I don't" Sunny said sadly

"And well, to make matters worse I'm forced to foalnap Sparky and while you've caught me doing that a few times already I still did so, all to please that mean alicorn" Misty said

"Why didn't you tell us then? We could've helped" Hitch asked

"Because I was scared she'd get mad, and that birthday present you got, the mirror if you know what I mean was Opaline's idea, I also even didn't know she used it to trick you until I secretly joined the popstar gang of sorts" Misty said

"Wait! So I got lured into a trap by Opaline?!" Sunny asked in shock

"Pretty much and I apologize from that, I even appologize to Hitch, Pipp and Zipp for causing all the troubles, Izzy, I'm also sorry for lying about our friendship, I really liked you but I was forced to trick you" Misty said

"I need some time to think" Izzy said

Just then a scream was heard which made the seven turn around as they saw the huntsman with Snow as the huntsman pulled a knife over their head

"We'll talk about this later!" Zipp said

After that the seven ran after Snow who was wearing a red bow on her head, a blue top which had three red pieces on both insides of the sleeves, a yellow skirt and golden shoes with gold boots on top and a red cape on the back in standing in front of the huntsman before Hitch went in front of him and kicked him down before glaring as the rest turned to Snow White

"Are you okay, what happened here?" Sunny asked

"I'm not sure, all I remember was..." Snow started

[A few Minutes ago]

Snow White was seen strolling around the fields as she was singing to herself while picking up some flowers

"One song, I have but one song" Snow sang

Just then a bird was heard chirping which got Snow's attention as she saw the bird crying which made her approach him

"Hello there" Snow greeted

When Snow arrived she went down to his level and held him in her hand

"What's the matter?" Snow asked as the bird chirped again "Where's your mama and papa?" Snow asked as the bird chirped again in sadness and worry "Why, I believe you're lost" Snow said before the bird nodded and chirped in sadness as Snow began stroking him "Oh, please don't cry" Snow suggested

But what Snow didn't know was that the huntsman was watching her before he looked to both sides and when he noticed no one was there he walked forward as Snow continued to talk to the bird who continued to chirp in sadness

"Come oon, perk up, won't you smile for me?" Snow asked before the bird chirped happily which made her laugh "That's better" Snow said happily

While the huntsman continued to go forward he raised a knife out of the pocket

"Your mama and papa can't be far" Snow said before looking around until she found them "There they are!" Snow said in relief while pointing

The huntsman still got closer and closer without her knowing

"Can you fly?" Snow asked as the bird flew in the air happy by her help "Goodbye! Goodbye!" Snow waved

Snow then turned around and noticed the huntsman with the knife raised which made her scream in fright

(Pause music here)

Just then the seven appeared as Hitch kicked the huntsman to the ground and glared while the rest went to her as Sunny asked the question which Snow explained

"And that's all that I know" Snow answered

"Don't worry, we're here for you" Zipp said

The six then turned around in anger at the huntsman

"What was that all about?!" Pipp asked

"Yeah! Killing Snow White! The fairest of them all! And a princess! You've gone way too far!" Izzy said

"I'm sorry! I really am! But Grimhilde wanted me and Misty to do it!" The huntsman explained

"Misty!!!" The five all yelled out angrily

"Okay, guess I did something wrong" Misty said embarrassingly

"Lying about us being friends is bad enough, but this, this is too much!" Izzy said angrily

"I knew you were a bad name to us!" Zipp said angrily

"I'm sorry, I really am but Opaline forced me too!" Misty said

"Opaline this, Opaline that, that's enough! You've got to learn about what kinds of dangers you pulled off, both of you! Assassinating Snow White! A princess! That's it! You're not our friend!" Hitch said angrily

"B-B-But..." Misty started

"No buts! You're gonna go to prison when we figure a way out of here!" Hitch said angrily

"I'm sorry" Misty said

Sparky who heard Hitch's angry voice then started sniffling before she cried

"Hitch, you made Sparky scared" Zipp reminded

"You go fix that while I talk to you for a minute about why you did that" Hitch explained

"Before you do that, I was also forced by Grimhilde to kill you all" Misty explained sadly

That was the last straw as Hitch then ran to Misty and gave her a big slap with his hoof

"That's it! I can't handle all those tricks anymore!" Hitch said

Misty then backed off in fright as Hitch kept going forward before Sunny stopped him

"Calm down Hitch, you and I know that she didn't want to do it, she's been at the wrong place when she was a filly before being turned into a slave" Sunny explained

"I know! It's true!" Misty said

Misty then began crying which made Hitch calm down a bit as he saw the others either angry, shocked or worried

"Fine! I know you deserve some jail time but you get one... last... chance!" Hitch said

Soon Zipp managed to calm Sparky down

"It's alright now, auntie Zipp is here, we'll protect you through and through so don't worry about being frightened" Zipp said

(Continue music here)

Sparky then smiled again which made the huntsman look in sadness before he turned to Hitch and Sunny apologeticallly while holding his hands together in sadness

"Forgive me, I beg you guys, forgive me" The huntsman pleaded

"I don't understand!" Snow said confused

"Yeah, we still don't get why you along with Misty followed Grimhilde's plan" Sunny said confused

"She's mad, she's jealous of you guys! She'll stop at nothing!" The huntsman explained worriedly

"Y-You mean the Queen?" Snow asked

"Yes, the queen!" The huntsman answered

After answering the group except Misty who looked down in sadness gasped in shock

(Pause music here)

"What do we do now?!" Sunny asked

"I know a good idea but it may be a bit dark so I'll just whisper it in the huntsman's ear" Izzy said

"Alright then, go ahead" The huntsman said as Izzy did so which made him gasp "You sure?" The huntsman asked

"Yep, it's your only hope" Izzy said

"Alright then, I'll do it, now quick, guys, run, run away, hide! In the woods! Anywhere! Never come back! Now, go, go! Go!" The huntsman called out

The ponies then began running as Snow White could only look in worry which Sunny noticed as she stopped

"Come on Snow! What have we got to lose!" Sunny called out

Snow White then turned around and ran after the ponies who led her through the forest as they ran between some trees dodging their spikes before they noticed some vine as they went through it while dodging as Izzy's horn got trapped a bit before Hitch approached her and used his gun to shoot the vine off of her horn as they continued

"What's the plan?! Where do we go?!" Izzy asked worriedly

"I'm not sure! We just gotta believe the way we're going is correct!" Zipp said

Just then the group came across a log in which an owl was sleeping before it went out and hoo'd a bit which made the group worried before Pipp found a path

"This way guys!" Pipp called out

The heroes then followed it before some bats ran out the tunnel which made them cover their eyes and when they were gone Misty found another way

"Maybe this way will work!" Misty suggested

The group then ran the other way as they continued to run before Snow's cape got stuck on a branch which then turned into hands

"Help guys!" Snow called out

Pipp and Zipp then approached her and helped Snow White 's cape off the branch before they continued to run after their friends as Sparky got more and more worried as she clung harder on Hitch

"It's gonna be alright Sparky, we'll figure a way out of this" Hitch said

Snow White then landed in another bush which made her worried as it also turned into hands which made Izzy pull her free with her magic as the group continued to run before they noticed a huge tree which was normal before they hallucinated that it was a scary person with creepy yellow and blue eyes with sharp teeths which made them frightened

"I just wish I had a song that could fix this!" Pipp said

"I do! Do you mind?" Izzy asked

"No! Go ahead!" Pipp answered

"When I was little filly and the sun was going---" Izzy started before the trees roared again "Nope it doesn't work! Run!!!" Izzy called out

The heroes then ran faster than their legs could handle which caused them to trip and fall before hanging on a single vine above the water as Zipp and Pipp started flying

"Hang on guys! Sparky, help me bring the others down! You too Pipp!" Zipp said

Sparky then nodded before Pipp and Sparky together held onto Hitch as they send him to the water while Zipp did Izzy as before both Sunny and Misty were done too and when they did they went to charge for Snow as Snow White accidentally let's go which made the trio catch her in their hooves as they slowly put her on the ground and when they did they noticed they were surrounded by log alligators

"Quick! Quick!" Hitch called out

Sparky then quickly went onto Hitch's back as the group then ran out of the water as fast as it allowed them too and whenv they were out of the water they started running faster again before a tree turned into the same as before but with creepy hands which made Sparky scream as they ran the other way before they noticed more creepy eyes as more and more started appearing which made the group hug each other in worry while Snow fell to the ground crying in fright as Sparky closed his eyes while gripping Hitch's hair harder than before
