Chapter 8
Disclaimer: I don't own MLP: FIM or Redwall. I do own Shooting Star or Princess Rosethrone, and Colonel Ashpaw the Brave.
Deep underground in the tunnel system, Shooting Star was in the lead of the moles. The moles worked hard and heavily as they continued to make the tunnel underneath Canterlot Castle's dungeons. There were only three things Shooting Star was concerned about. One of those concerns was hoping he wasn't going to run out of time. Two days did sound like a lot of time to get to the imprisoned Princesses, however with him being underground he wasn't exactly sure if they were going the right way towards the castle's dungeons. The second concern he had was for his allies whom were going to pull off a distraction to draw Rosethrone's attention to the matter...And where could they go to hide from her? That was the third matter, where could they go to establish a safe place to hideout in and plot a war? Being very new to Equestria and not knowing the area really dampened the warrior's thoughts but his determination to complete his vows to free the Princesses overcame those thoughts.
Shooting Star turned to Foremole Urthclaw "Are we heading the right direction?"
"es we are Shooting Star! We moles know where we are heading, no orries!"
Star Swirl checked on a map he had brought with him to confirm the Mole's words "He's right Shooting Star! Not sure how they know where we are going but, according to this map we should be heading in the right direction."
"Sorry friends" Shooting Star apologized checking swiftly around underground "Just concerned about the Princesses."
"Together we'll get them out in time" The mole leader told him "Just be prepared to jump out to protect them."
"We'll do" Shooting Star said as he listened for the sound of hooves or paws rushing about. They had to get to the dungeons as soon as they could and most likely get to the dungeons just as Martin's diversion was about to begin.
At the North side of Canterlot, Martin lead the forces carefully to the entrance. Amazingly even though there were lots of vermin roaming about the small army wasn't spotted at all. Martin looked behind him to see Colonel Ashpaw and his Long Patrol hares ready for battle along with the many other tribes with them. The squirrels were equipped with arrows as were some hedgehogs. The Hares were equipped with long Pikes just in case vermin would charge out of the gates towards them and others were wielding arrows too. Having his small army ready for battle, Martin beckons the chieftains to hide themselves while he and Colonel Ashpaw had a little talk with Rosethrone. The Warrior Mouse and Hare stroll out into plain sight with Captain Ripfang and Braveheart patrolling the front ramparts. The Warrior mouse saw Colonel Ashpaw reaching for a Javelin to take out the rat captain right away but raised a paw "Now's not the time Colonel! We need to get Rosethrone out here so Shooting Star won't have to worry about her figuring him out."
"But that poor young colt" The colonel spoke in a whisper.
"I know" Martin said "We'd be doing him a good thing in saving him but even I know he'll go get Rosethrone if we attack that rat."
"You can tell?"
Martin nods "I can tell when one is trying to protect someone. That colt is trying to protect some creature or creatures close to his heart. There's no question that he'll reach Rosethrone and alert her to our presense. So just stay out in the open and eventually those two will see us...Then we'll talk to them and hopefully draw out Rosethrone."
"Gotcha!" Colonel Ashpaw said.
Captain Ripfang rounded the bend with Braveheart at his side, the rat was still training the colt on the battlefield and spoke "Part of a warrior's path is to always patrol the battlements of a conquered castle."
"But Captain sir, I'm sure nopony would want to mess with Princess Rosethrone, not when we have their Princesses in our dungeons."
"Aye matey, perhaps that's logical Equestrian talk, but it isn't what the Princess expects. She knows there could be a resistance against her. She needs to make sure our lands are protected..." the rat was about to see more when he saw Martin and Colonel Ashpaw "Hold that thought Braveheart!"
The rat pointed out towards the two as Braveheart gasped seeing two armed warriors with the rat captain shouting his authority towards the two intruders "Ahoy down there mouse and rabbit-"
Colonel Ashpaw shook with envy wanting to throw his Javelin but doesn't as he shouts towards the rat "That's HARE to you Snagglefang!"
Stung with surprise that the hare was able to see Ripfang's single tooth, the rat raised a spear muttering to Braveheart whom was nearly on the verge of laughing at the insult the hare had laid on his captain "I'll gut you rabbit!"
He lifted up his spear and threw it at the hare. The hare and mouse simply sidestepped the spear and it landed right in between the middle of them with the Colonel speaking his mind "IS THAT ALL YOU GOT RAT? You can do better than that! I hear your Princess, expects more out of her army!"
The rat growls hating the hare right away but there was something about the mouse that drawn his curiosity "What would you two be looking for?"
Martin drew his sword "I am Martin the Warrior! Son of Luke the Warrior and this is Colonel Ashpaw the Brave of the Long Patrol. We have come to free Canterlot from your tyrant Princess!"
The rat captain easily missed the small army Martin had hidden and sneered wickedly as he addressed Braveheart "See matey? There is always resistance in a recently conquered land. Fortuently it's only those two." he looked at Martin and Colonel Ashpaw "Just you two? Ha, I have a hard time believing you'll enter this castle alive with just two of you!"
Martin rose his sword silently and just as more sentries were coming a row of arrows showered the ramparts with deadly fire taking the sentries all down except the the Rat Captain and Braveheart. Dead silence filled around the air for a few seconds as the mouse spoke "Still think we're playing rat?! We have an army with us, now let us speak to Princess Rosethrone!"
Ripfang looked at the warrior as he turned to Braveheart "Get Princess Rosethrone! We're under attack! I'll handle things here!"
"Yes sir!" Braveheart said rushing off.
Ripfang began barking out orders "ATTACK MATES! We're under attack! MAN THE RAMPARTS!"
The ramparts soon became active with Rosethrone's army climbing onto the ramparts ready to defend. Ripfang looked at Martin "Bring on your army mouse! Our army outnumbers you!"
Colonel Ashpaw spoke "Perhaps you do rat! But you are facing Long Patrol hares and many other resistance fighters! Numbers don't scare us!"
"Then let this day be the days of your death!" Ripfang roared.
Fortunately Braveheart didn't have to go far to reach Rosethrone. The Princess had been personally watching over five ponies she was training as archers when a body of a ferret toppled over due to being struck by an arrow from the first volley. She turns her head with Braveheart shouting to her "Princess! We're under attack! Some mouse named Martin and a long ears!"
She nearly ignored the mouse's name but once she heart long ears she immediately knew the situation "Get the word out Braveheart, get all my soldiers up immediately on the ramparts!"
"Yes Princess!"
Braveheart runs off to obey her wishes. Princess Rosethrone rounded the bend and was in hearing range of Ripfang's comment about this day being the day of death for mouse and hare. Martin watches as the green Alicorn walked towards the rat "Well said Ripfang...Now what do we have?"
The rat pointed and Rosethorne followed his paw seeing Martin and Colonel Ashpaw, along with the small army they had due to her magic. The evil alicorn smirked as she placed herself in the middle of the battlements in plain sight "I am Princess Rosethrone! Now before you all die for being foolish and stupid, who do I have the pleasure of crushing?"
From his several years of being a warrior, both mouse and hare knew a villain when they saw one. Sure Rosethrone looked like a normal peaceful alicorn but there was something about her that alerted them that they knew she was indeed evil. Martin spoke "I'm afraid it is you that'll be crushed in the end Rosethrone, I am Martin the Warrior, and this is Colonel Ashpaw of the Long Patrol, together with our armies we'll be taking you down and stopping your role of tyrant!"
Princess Rosethrone looked at the two indeed seeing proper warriors out of those two "I doubt you have the army strength to do that...I've conquered these lands by right!"
Colonel Ashpaw spoke out an insult "Oh, I bet you conquering Equestria was like taking candy from a baby! Both dreadful things to do dotcha know! It maybe easy conquering this land but have you ever battle proper warriors or is daddy's little girl a chicken to face proper warriors in combat!"
Princess Rosethrone lost herself the moment the chicken comment was announced "THY HAVE SEALED YOUR FATE LONG EARS! NOW WITNESS AS I FORCE YOUR ARMY TO REVEAL THEMSELVES!
With her horn glowing red she unleashed a powerful burst of magical energy towards the trees. At first nothing appeared to have happened then screams of panic was heard from the trees as Ruro and her squirrels were shook free from the trees as if heavy winds had been erupted then once the trees shook the squirrels free they raised their limbs and try to start crushing the squirrels with them.
"Magic?!" Colonel Ashpaw and Martin asked each other in surprise.
In all there years of fighting villains they had never fought anyone with magical powers before, as in the lands of Mossflower Country and beyond where they came from magic was never a thing.
Rosethrone roared out "We got them on the ropes! EVERY BEAST KILL THEM ALL EXCEPT FOR THAT WARRIOR MOUSE AND LONG EARS! I WANT THEM ALIVE SO I CAN KILL THEM MYSELF IN FRONT OF THE PONIES I'VE CONQUERED!"
Martin turned to Ruro as archers on both sides lifted their bows "Now's the time to fight Ruro! Try to avoid the trees or anything Rosethrone can use against us!"
"We'll try to Martin!" Ruro admitted then she spoke to Martin without Rosethrone hearing "But me thinks we'll not last long for Shooting Star to save the Princesses with our army exposed easily."
Martin agreed "Just fight long enough for us to try to start retreating!"
"Got it!"
Arrows fired from all sides. Twelve of Rosethrone's forces were stricken and killed by the arrows from the archers of Martin's army and Ruro's squirrels and other archers were fine on Martin's side thanks to their shields they had in their arms. The gates opened and more of Rosethrone's army rush out towards them.
Martin was ready "Alright Ashpaw! Get ready for a Long Patrol charge! Log-A-Log Grenn, Skittles also join in for your creatures if they have melee weapons! Ruro take charge of the archers!"
"Got it!"
Colonel Ashpaw drew his two swords as the Long Patrol, some hedgehogs and shrews prepared for melee combat. Captain Ripfang lead the vermin melee attack and drew his cutlass "KILL THEM ALL EXCEPT FOR THE MOUSE AND LONG EARS! STRIKE FOR ROSETHRONE!"
This was echoed by her forces chanting "Rosethrone! KILL, KILL, KILL!"
Then this was followed by "EULIA!" From Martin's forces.
The two sides charge each other and clash with the deafening sound of steel clashing against each other. Martin's diversion was beginning. The Warrior Mouse's sword clashes on other swords then, at times Rosethrone's soldiers killing them as the battle raged on. While he was fighting alongside his own soldiers and Colonel Ashpaw the Brave, he knew that it was only a matter of time before Rosethrone pushed them into retreat while in the open, giving Shooting Star very little time to save the Princesses but he had to try to hold on. Rosethrone carefully watches her army clash against the warrior mouse and the Long Patrol Hare. Horn crackling with red magic ready to zap their creatures or use it on a plant to cause her foes into more panic.
The sounds of battle got to the imprisoned Princesses's ears. Now they couldn't see the battle itself as they were beneath Canterlot. Luna hoped that whatever Shooting Star's army was doing, they were doing their part to divert the attention of Rosethrone, their safe rescue depended on it. Luna watches as there were at least five guards left at the cells. Celestia looked heart broken as if knowing Shooting Star's army might suffer casualties in the diversion, but if it meant she and her sister could break free then she could see that their deaths wouldn't be in vain. Luna looks at her sister "Shooting Star is a warrior, Celestia and his soldiers will follow his example. They know the path of a warrior isn't for everypony."
Princess Celestia closes her eyes "True, which is probably why it's hard for me to see things play out this way. Why must everything warriors do always end in others dying?"
Luna saw her sister's point but spoke "It pains me too to hear things like this happen, but sis, things happen for a reason. I'm sure Shooting Star would tell you and me things differently. Like perhaps where he was raised warriors are the reason why his lands are relatively peaceful. If it weren't for warriors his homelands might be in the same precious situation as we are in."
Princess Celestia raised a small smile as for the first time in her life Luna just said something wise while it was often at times she was the one to do so "Wow Luna, your growing up if you can say those words and mean it."
Princess Luna blushes red "Well I do mean every word I said, I mean not every land has access to the Elements of Harmony so it would stand to reason why warriors are needed."
Some of the guards heard this and began starting to make their way over to the Princesses. One of the guards a Fox spoke cruelly "There isn't such a thing of true warriors here in Equestria! Only those fools outside come from a different land. They won't last long against OUR Princess whom is better than any of you two."
Luna growls hating Princess Rosethrone's soldiers, first Ripfang whom she should've killed and now this fox was rubbing her the wrong way. Before she could call out an equal insult Princess Celestia put a hoof on her back to calm her down to remind her Shooting Star was on his way to save them. Luna looked questioning her sister's motives but then got why her sister was stopping her. If she attacked the fox he'd most likely call for more guards reducing the number outside battling Shooting Star's army making a rescue attempt highly unlikely. She grits her teeth as she glared venomously at the fox as she makes her latest threat "One day bushy tail, you'll get what you deserve!"
"Perhaps lesser beast" the fox sneered at her "Now be a good Princess be be silent like your sister, you'll need your sleep for this is the last day you'll be alive. Better to go out with a final sleep before your execution."
Luna growls but calms down with Celestia looking at the fox "Even if she kills us...Do you really think Rosethrone can hold onto Equestria forever? If her father failed-"
"The great Ungatt Trunn was successful in conquering that mountain!" The fox sneered at her "But it was won back by that Badger Lord Brocktree, but make no mistake, Princess Rosethone is determined to take it back and the NOTHING will stop her! Better to be on the winning team than the losing team, that's my way."
Luna mutters lowly under her breathe "So your basically admitting you are a coward."
It might've been low but not as low as Luna wanted it to as both Celestia and the Fox heard. Celestia's reaction was a gasp of worry then the fox growls at Luna "What did you call me?!"
Luna knew that she set a nerve in the fox as she baits him and she hid a unseen smirk while addressing him "Oh you have ears don't you? What do YOU think I called you? After all I do see that you are what I called you. Only those go the safest way attempting to pick the winning team.
As they were talking the ground underneath the Princesses's started to shake with the fox missing this as he drew his spear "Oh I believe you need a beating! I'll show you the mark of a-"
He never got another word out wanting to say a warrior but an arrow from Shooting Star came out of the ground striking the Fox in his leg. Their was a sharp YELP from the fox, he dropped the spear and fell onto the ground surprised that Luna was able to fire an arrow and was confused on how she managed to do it. Even the Princesses were confused on how this happened as neither of them had arrows, then the strong firm warrior voice of Shooting Star echoed through the dungeons as he emerges from the hole "Trying to beat your prisoners now? That's a new one but acceptable coming from a coward."
"Shooting Star!" Princess Celestia and Princess Luna shout happily.
"A winged pony?" the fox snarls trying to get up then he realized something not seeing the hole but knew that there was only one reason why an armed Pegasus managed to get into the dungeon the fox in a panic tries to announce the alarm but Shooting Star quickly armed himself with another arrow and fired it striking the fox in his head before the fox could issue out an alarm. The fox fell without a sound with an arrow barbed deep in his brain with Shooting Star sighing "I guess it's true what they say, cowards will always die a cowardly death but at the same time I couldn't afford to let you sound the alarm."
He quickly turns to the Princesses and used a wing to point down into the hole "Jump down and follow the moles to safety."
"What about you?!" Luna asked.
Shooting Star heard more guards coming into the room "I'll have to follow the rear! More guards are coming!"
"And they will notice the fox!" Star Swirl points out.
Shooting Star nodded arming his bow with another arrow as he gave the Princesses the order "GET GOING! I'll deal with the guards as quickly as I can! If one of them notices the tunnel then we'll have a massive horde coming after us that's the last thing I want!"
Celestia wanted to say more but Luna used her magic "Come on Celestia, Shooting Star's buying us some time!"
Shooting Star nodded "Follow Star Swirl and the moles to the safe point! I'll be right behind you after dispatching the guards!"
The two Princesses left quickly as Shooting Star stands where they were originally standing and swiped the slain fox's keys and used them to open the dungeon. Then he waited arrow ready to go off.
"Something happen Captain?" a ferret asked looking for the fox.
He then noticed the lifeless fox then his eyes turned to the open cell door but he didn't see Shooting Star just yet, and that was because as soon as the Ferret entered the room the warrior Pegasus unleashed his arrow striking the ferret in his neck killing him instantly. Ten more guards rushed in once the body fell and without thinking to inform Rosethrone about this charge Shooting Star. Shooting Star put his bow back, drew his hoof blades then spoke "Time to show you why I'm the son of Lord Brocktree! Eulia!"
This froze the front two rows of guards allowing Shooting Star to swiftly take them out with a few swipes of his hoof blades. The other six now came at him on all ends but the warrior Pegasus sidesteps each spear thrust then ducked the final one before leaping up and spun around so swiftly that he decapticated the six guards before they had a chance to sound the alarm. Shooting Star then leaves not even noticing Braveheart whom was rounding the corner. The young colt was just in time to see Shooting Star jump down a hole. At first the colt thought of following to freedom but then remembered his sisters could pay the price of his betrayal and that was most likely death. He then tore off to inform Princess Rosethrone of what he had seen.
In the tunnel Star Swirl was taking the Princesses to safety. As he was doing so Celestia was quick to ask him "So we have you to thank for getting Shooting Star?"
"Partly Princess" Star Swirl said "I managed to get to Salmandestron to warn them of Rosethrone's possible invasion on it, and I had informed Shooting Star of what had happened, however your sister Princess Luna should get the other half of the credit. He had dreamed of her before I even arrived."
Luna blushes red a bit then heard somepony coming her way, her horn glew blue as she held her ground and roughly asked "Whose there?"
Shooting Star saw her horn glowing and raised his hooves "Easy Princess, it's just me!"
Luna relaxed "Oh, Shooting Star it's you!"
Shooting Star nodded "Yep, and the guards have been taken care of!"
"Good work!" Luna said.
Celestia then brought up the bigger problem "So where are we heading towards?"
Shooting Star tripped and fell on his face as the older Princess brought up the one thing he hadn't figured out yet groaning he looks at the two Princesses "Well uh I'll admit this but I didn't think that part through."
Star Swirl shook his head "I wondered what you were thinking of when we were tunneling underneath their dungeons..."
Shooting Star nodded blushing "Hey, I don't know of anywhere in Equestria, other than what you've shown us. So any help is appreciated."
Luna had the suggestion "Castle of the Two Sisters?"
All eyes looked at her with Star Swirl pointing out to her "With no disrespect Princess, but Rosethrone can command plants! That castle is in the Everfree Forest, with so many trees she can use those against us."
"IF YOU HAVE ANOTHER IDEA, I'M LISTENING!" Luna snapped at him.
"But Star Swirl does have a point" Celestia admitted "If Rosethrone can control plants we'd not only have to worry about her attacking us right and left with her horde, but the trees as well."
Princess Luna growls but Shooting Star spoke "I have never dealt with Rosethrone so I wouldn't know but nice to be informed she can control plants, and while it maybe a death sentence if we are found there, it is the best place we can get to at the moment. We just need a place to settle down and regroup to think of our new plan now."
Princess Celestia blinks "OH?
"Plus" Star Swirl said understandingly "It says you have to unite the tribes of Equestria...Ponies aren't the only tribe here."
Shooting Star nodded "Then the Castle of the Two Sisters will be our destination! Oh and Foremole Urthclaw."
"Oi?" the mole leader asked.
"When we get out of the tunnel, I'll need you to destroy the tunnel then we'll need to cover our trail. The more we do that if Rosethrone figures out how the Princesses escaped and she's smart enough to, she'll be able to track us down."
"sure thing Shooting Star!" Foremole Urthclaw admitted.
"I'll do that" Star Swirl said "I'll cover our trail, but Martin may need to be informed about the situation."
"I'll do that myself" Shooting Star admitted to him. You all need to start moving to the Castle of the Two Sisters."
The Princesses nodded understandingly trusting their warrior. Star Swirl used his magic and brought out a map giving it to Shooting Star "The Princesses and I know where that is! Follow this map and you'll find the Castle of the Two Sisters."
They found the exit and Shooting Star readjusts his wings, notched another arrow to his bow and tore off to help his friends and soldiers hoping there were some survivors.
Back at diversion, Rosethrone was watching as the small army compared to hers was indeed holding it's own. The Long Patrol Hares in their clash with their giant hand held pikes completely devastated her own soldiers. She fired a magic blast a squirrel getting her in the back. The squirrel fell stunned with Rosethrone aiming a spear at the downed beast and thrust it, it was a direct hit and the squirrel was slain. Rosethrone attempts to kill many more of her foe fighting furiously. She watches as Captain Ripfang fought against Martin the Warrior. Now her rat captain was quite a powerful foe but against Martin, it was clean to her eyes that Martin had the upper hand from the beginning. The swords clashed against one another and Martin sidesteps another swipe and lashes out his own sword. Ripfang managed to clash it against Martin's sword but the mouse warrior had pushed him back. The two raised their swords and clash once again, but this time, Martin's Sword slices the Rat's cutlass in half and points the blade at the rat's throat.
Ruro whom had taken over in healing duties informs Martin "We can't hold off much longer! They got at least three of me tribe down with another five injured! The Shrews are also taken a beating."
Martin saw her point "Let's hope that Shooting Star has freed the Princesses!"
Colonel Ashpaw had clashed one sword on another weasel's sword then slew a charging ferret with his second sword. His Long Patrol Hares hadn't taken any casualty just yet but even he grew a bit wary of the amount of soldiers. An arrow nearly got him in the chest but it was deflected by another arrow and it was from the direction that caused Rosethrone to temporarily look at. At first she thought the approaching figure was a badger and gathers magic in her horn preparing to fight the badger if needed, even to her a badger was a serious threat. She then saw it was a black Pegasus Pony whom flew down towards the front of his army and with several twists and turns her whole entire front vermin ranks were cut down by his flailing blades.
"Shooting Star!" Grenn called out.
Shooting Star nodded as Martin inquired "I take it the mission went well?"
"It did" Shooting Star said "Now start going on a retreat!"
Rosethrone took a good look at the black Pegasus with a surviving rat from Captain Scar's squad muttering to her "Princess...That's the Pegasus that stopped us from capturing Star Swirl!"
"So that's Shooting Star" Princess Rosethrone muttered to herself "A true warrior...Just like that mouse and rabbit."
She watches as Shooting Star raised a white flag. She smirks "Surrendering Pegasus?"
"Surrender?" Shooting Star asked her "We at Salmandestron don't know the meaning of the word surrender...But I hear blue bottoms do!"
Rosethrone growls "THOSE WERE MY FATHER'S BLUE HORDE BEASTS YOU ARE MAKING FUN OF!"
Shooting Star looks at her "So your this Rosethrone adopted daughter of Ungatt Trunn."
"That's right!" she berated him "And who might you be?"
Shooting Star addressed her just as Martin had done earlier with the same tone "I am Shooting Star, Warrior Pegasus! Adopted son of Lord Brocktree! And I have come to save this world from your hooves just as my father had done to your father winning back Salamandestron!"
Rosethrone glared at him "So...It has come down to this moment...Daughter of the great Ungatt Trunn vs. you Shooting Star adopted son of Lord Brocktree! Don't worry though you are outnumbered your quest to stop me has failed."
Shooting Star smirked at her as Braveheart approaches her shouting her name "PRINCESS ROSETHRONE! PRINCESS ROSETHRONE!"
Princess Rosethrone blinked then turn as she snaps "WHAT IS IT? I WAS ALMOST ABOUT TO ORDER A FINAL CHARGE!"
Braveheart answers "ESCAPED! THE PRISONERS HAVE ESCAPED!"
Now normally any warlord would've asked which prisoner but the moment Braveheart told her prisoners she knew as she dragged the young Colt towards her gripping him around his neck "ESCAPED? AS IN THE PRINCESSES?!"
"Y-Y-Y-Yes!" The colt said gulping almost fearing death "But I was only there to see the after effects! I was checking the dungeons to make sure the Princesses were in there and had just gotten in there when I noticed them gone!"
She glared at him wanting to kill him but there was something in his voice that made her spare his life she dropped him as he pointed towards Shooting Star "He was the one that helped them to escape!"
Rosethrone now glares daggers of hatred at Shooting Star "YOU SAVED THE PRINCESSES?!"
Shooting Star smirked as in her moment of possible triumph and speaking Martin with the tribe had began a retreat silently slipping off "Yep! And that was our true goal! This whole frontal battle was all a diversion so I could get in there to save them and it worked perfectly!"
Rosethrone growls "NOOOOOOOO! I SHOULD'VE EXECUTED THEM WHEN THEY FAILED TO DEFEAT ME!"
Shooting Star nodded as he addressed her "So with that in mind it was a victory for my forces! Rest assured Rosethrone that we will be back! This battle isn't over and we will be back to fight you constantly. And now I'll take my own leave!"
Rosethrone unleashed a huge red sphere at him but he cleverly ducked it and she orders "SEIZE HIM!"
Before any of her soldiers could Shooting Star had flown off. Rosethrone watches the retreating figure fly off. Gripping Braveheart again with her magic she makes eye contact with him causing him to shake in fear "Take me to the dungeons...NOW! I want to see how he was able to free the Princesses under my guards!"
"Y-Y-Y-Yes my Princess" Braveheart told her.
She lets go of him and he takes her and Ripfang to the dungeons not blaming Ripfang for this as he was out on the front lines...Oh someone else's head was going to roll for this one. She mutters to herself evilly "You are right Shooting Star...This isn't over! But I shall win in the end! You and your army can't hide from me forever!"
As she was being lead to her dungeons more ponies shiver with freight at how angry she was. Oh they knew by now she was on a murderous rampage...Someone or somepony was going to die once she saw how the prisoners escaped.
