Chapter 2: Ponyville

Apple Bloom had invited Sweetie Belle over while Applejack and Rarity were out, so of course Scootaloo wanted to come too. They had thought that it would be fun. They were wrong. "Come on!" Scootaloo screeched. "But I can't leave Winona in this....crystal!!" Apple Bloom said as she tugged on Winona, trying to get her out. But Scootaloo knew it wouldn't work. "CUTIE MARK CRUSADERS GET THE HELL OUT OF HERE IS GO!" She sceamed. Reluctantly, Apple Bloom left her dog and joined Scootaloo. "Where's Sweetie Belle?" Apple Bloom asked. "I think she went to help Big Mac get Granny Smith!"

Scootaloo was only partly right. Sweetie had gone to help Big Mac, but she never got there. "HELP!!" She squealed as the crystal trapped her body. But there was no one around to hear her. Big Mac was already running to Ponyville with Granny Smith on his back and Scootaloo and Apple Bloom were still upstairs. She was trapped and alone.

Angel quickly hopped over to the still locked chicken coop. Thankfully, none of the chickens had been trapped yet. What had been trapped is the mouse family, some birds, the seal, a couple of pocupines, three bats, and some of Angel's brothers and sisters. Angel had learned the hard way that you couls only save the critters before they were trapped. As fast as his little bunny feet could take him, he opened up the chicken coops and was swarmed by dozens of hens. Sighing with releif, Angel hopped out of the chicken coop and looked around. There was still much more to be done.

As Pound Cake and Punpkin Cake screamed and cried, Mr. and Mrs. Cake were busily trying to help ponies out of their homes. "Did you get Daisy, Rose, and Lily?" Mrs. Cake asked as she hurried a few fillies out of a house. "Yes, did you get the Rich family?" said Mr.Cake. Oh no, I forgot the Rich family! "Be right back!" Mrs. Cake hollered. As she neared their mansion, she knew she was too late. Crystals were coming out of the windows, doors, and even through the roof. "Help!" a voice called from inside. It was the filly, Diamond Tiara. "I'm so, so sorry!" Mrs Cake yelled. "But there's no way I can help!" "You better save me or I'm going to make sure my Dad sues your sorry flank!" Diamond Tiara threatened. What a nasty little filly! "There's nothing I can do." Mrs. Cake repeated.

Owlicious had no idea what to do. Twilight had told him to take care of the library, but how could he do that with crystals breaking through the walls? He hand as many books as he could carry in him talons; they were Twilight's favorites, how could he leave them to be destroyed? His wings were getting tired, and he knew he had to go. As he left the breaking library, he couldn't help but feel bad. He had promised. Then again, there were hundreds on ponies down below him that couldn't even save their favorite books. So Owlicious flew out into the wild, having no idea where to go.

Cranky stared out the window at the falling Ponyville. Crystals were breaking through the floor, all of his memories were being crushed before him. "Cranky!" called a voice from the back room.Matilda! He ran to the back room, jumping over crystals and rubble, where he found his Matilda partly engulfed in crystal. He sprinted over and grabbed her hoof in his. He tugged, in high hopes to get her out, but nothing happened. "Go," Matilda whispered. cranky shook his head. "I traveled all over Equestria looking for you. I'm not going to leave you now." So the couple was then covered with crystal, holding hooves, so they would keep each other company.

Cheerilee ran with the town of Ponyville. Ponies were screaming and running everywhere and pegasi were flying overhead. Eventually they reached a cave large enough to hold the town. Cheerilee stared at the cave. Relatively untouched. Rocks not too sharp. Mostly closed off. "We've decided to stay here for the time being," Mayor Mare announced from the front of the herd of ponies. The cave was filled with ponies in about 10 seconds flat. Cheerilee sank to the ground, exhausted. How long had they been running? "Mrs. Cheerilee." Cheerilee looked up to see Mayor Mare staring down at her. "Can you look around and make sure all of the fillies and colts that go to your school are present?" Cheerilee nodded and went to work. Okay, there's Scootaloo and Apple Bloom, Silver Spoon, Twist, Snips... Finally, after a while, Cheerilee figured out that Sweetie Belle, Diamond Tiara, Snails, and Featherwheight were missing. She reported back to Mayor Mare then lay down for a much-needed nap.

Big Mac rested against the cave wall. He wasn't all that tired, working on the farm had helped with that, but he figured he should get some rest while he could. "Big Mac?" Apple Bloom was trotting over. "Eeyup?" Big Mac looked at her little sister. "Do you think Applejack's okay?" The small filly asked. Big Mac looked down at the ground. He didn't want to lie to his sister- because honestly he did not. But there was a chance that she was. He finally looked back up and nodded at Apple Bloom, who then gave him a weak smile and snuggled up against him. "I hope you're right." Me too Apple Bloom. Me too.

Scootaloo was sitting with the other ponies at the orphanage. This was something that Diamond tiara and Silver Spoon would tease her about. If Diamond Tiara was there. Scootaloo wanted to be happy about that, but she couldn't; Nobody deserved that fate. not even Diamond Tiara. And especially not Sweetie Belle. Scootaloo imagined her friend alone and afraid. We could've done something done something other than just leaving her! Where was she anyway? She might have been in one of the rooms downstairs that we didn't pass on the way out. Scootaloo sighed once more and looked over at Apple Bloom snuggling with Big Mac. Lucky.

You really messed up with the story. People seem to forget that spike is f****** invincible I mean literally he can tank anything. Here's a little info someone dug up. Spike’s jaw pressure can casually shatter items rating 9 on the Moh’s scale. For reference, that is the rating of Ruby and Sapphire. Diamond is 10. The pressure needed to crack either ruby or sapphire is roughly around 4,351 PSI. That’s just to CRACK the gemstone, that’s not what is required to break it, much less grind it into a fine powder. For comparison, a 12 foot long Nile Crocodile’s max bite force is clocked in at 5,000 PSI At this pressure, broken teeth and jaw damage is highly likely. Spike is less than two feet tall and exhibits close to that bite force CASUALLY with no damage to his teeth or jaws. Spike’s fire also is in excess of temperatures of 2,800 degrees F/1,538 degrees C, strong enough to melt iron in less than a second. So yeah Spike really want to have been hurt by a crystal piercing anywhere on his body because it wouldn't even be able to get past his scales. At most it would leave a dent or a scratch on the scale that hit.
