I reread the riddle, trying to figure out where I was supposed to find her, but it didn't take me long to figure it out.

"Why would he take her to Las Pegasus? I need to end him once and for all, but I need help…and I know my friends won't be too happy with a death, even of a villain…except…"

I headed over to Sugar Cube Corner, trying not to act like anything was wrong so I wouldn't draw attention. I didn't see Pinkie anywhere, but Mrs. Cake was running the front desk.

"Sorry to bother you, but do you know where Red is?"

"Oh, he's upstairs with Pinkie, but they said they were busy."

"Thanks."

I walked upstairs and into Pinkie's room. I paused, as the awkwardness of the situation was just too much. Red was tied to the bed, and Pinkie was licking his chest, but both froze when I walked in.

"Umm….yeah, can you give me like five minutes."

"Yeah, just…meet me outside…it's important."

"Ok."

I waited outside, trying to get that image out of my head, and Red came out as well with Pinkie.

"Yeah…sorry you had to see that…" Pinkie apologized.

"So what's up?" asked Red.

"Hold on, Pinkie, I need to borrow Ryan for a while…alone."

"Okie dokie, admittedly I haven't been working as much with him around, so I can catch up again." Pinkie hopped back into the bakery.

"So what's up?"

"Follow me, I'll explain on the way."

We flew to the train station, and I explained on the way.

"Hey, Gray?"

"Yeah?"

"GOD DAMN IT, GOD DAMN IT, GOD DAMN IT…GOD DAMN IT! HE BROKE THE RULES! HE BROKE THE RULES! EVERYONE'S GONNA BE MAD CAUSE HE BROKE THE- HE BROKE THE RULES!"

"Yeah, nice reference, but don't make a scene, he'll know we're coming otherwise."

"So where are we going again?"

"Las Pegasus."

"Yay, I wonder if they'd let us gamble."

"Seriously? You're seriously thinking about gambling?"

"Yeah, dude. I'm a card shark in my spare time."

"Well, what you do with your money isn't my business, but I need your help."

"Wait, aren't we gonna get the others?"

"No, you are the only one who wouldn't object to killing Discord."

"But he's awesome though…"

"And he also kidnapped Dash, made my life a living hell…in both worlds, and made me hurt all of you guys. I think I should be allowed to end him after all he's done to me."

"Well when you put it that way…"

We bought a couple tickets to go to Las Pegasus, and we went on our way.

"Hey, Gray…how long do you think this train ride will take anyway?"

"I don't know, I've never been."

We traveled for a few hours, just watching the landscape go by, when a thug-like pony tapped my shoulder.

"Are you Grayscale?" he said in a low, gravelly voice.

"Who wants to know?"

"This is our man!"

Suddenly more ponies, dressed in black suits with a white coat crashed through the windows all over the train, sending everypony on the train into a frenzy of screams and confusion. A couple ponies crashed in through the windows behind me and Red, knocking us both out and it all went dark.

I woke up, and I could tell I was being carried in a bag, just by the movements, feeling of the material, and the space I had inside. I used scorch in an attempt to break out, but no effect, except for being dropped.

"I think he's awake, boss." I heard a pony say faintly.

"Who are you guys?" I asked through the bag, still not being able to see out of it.

"Discord has personally asked me to take care of you."

I tried to magically untie me out of the bag, also with no effect.

"Don't bother. We have a special fabric that is fireproof, wrapped with an anti-magic lace, you aren't getting out anytime soon."

"If you think that you will get away with this, you're wrong. You have no idea who you're messing with."

"On the contrary, we know exactly who you are, son of Discord, and we know you won't do anything either, especially if it means harming your pwecious wittle Dashie."

"Don't you touch her, or I swear, I will personally-"

"Yeah, yeah, save the death threats for later."

I was hit in the head with a very hard object, almost metallic and was knocked out again. I woke up again in a dark room, but I could see boxes in the darkness. I was tied to a chair.

I looked around the room, and saw that that there were cameras everywhere, and guards everywhere as well, all wielding guns. I didn't see Red anywhere and realized that he wasn't brought with us.

I guess they saw me moving, because they turned on the lights, and the only different pony walked up to me. He was an orange unicorn, but didn't seem to fit the part as a bad guy.

"So glad our little guest has awoken." As he said that he kicked the chair so I fell on my face. "I hope you find it comfortable here."

"No, as a matter of fact, I am not. But if you would be so kind as to tell me where Discord is so I can deal with some family matters-"

"Oh, I'm afraid I can't do that. He's not even here."

"What do you mean?"

"Do you actually think that he would be that stupid to stay where the only real threat to him is being held? He's arrogant, not a fool."

"I'm so sick and tired of all of this. I suggest you untie me right now, or I'll-"

"You'll what? Kill me? If you haven't noticed, there are guards all over this room, and even if I died, you or your little girlfriend wouldn't make it out either."

A TV was lowered and it was in black and white. It was Dash tied to a chair in a smaller room and guards were around her as well. She was struggling, then a guard butted her in the stomach with his gun.

I was, needless to say, pissed off to the max. I focused on the TV, and tried to make the ground swallow the guards in her room, and it worked. The others saw and took aim at me, but I levitated the guns out of the guards' hooves and distorted them together to make a Gatling gun-type weapon. I scorched out of the chair and grabbed the gun and started spraying the guards.

I focused on the TV again and teleported into her room.

"Gray! I'm so happy to see you! Was that you who did that to those guards?"

"Yeah, now let's go!"

I distorted the wall and we walked through, but ended up in a much larger room, with many more guards, and the same orange pony that was in my room earlier.

"Give up, we have you surrounded. There is no escape for you."

When all was quieter, we heard a faint noise, sounding like a scream, and getting louder. A loud bang was heard on one of the aluminum garage-type doors and a large dent was put into it. The guards opened it to find Red, on the ground, recovering from running into the door.

"Oh…hey, guys."

A few of the guards took aim at him, but I quickly teleported to him and teleported us both back to Dash. I gave him the gun I had, and changed it a little to hold the bullet chain which I had coming out of the ground. I made a few pistols for me that I could levitate.

"Dash…I want you to get out of here. Don't worry about us, we just have a little business to take care of."

"I'm not going to leave you."

"Aww isn't that sweet, fellas?" mocked the orange pony.

"Don't make this difficult, just go!"

"No, I'm not going anywhe-"

I distorted the wall next to us that lead outside and levitated her out and sealed it.

"Hey, guys." Red started.

"Let's talk this out."

"I don't speak jackass, but…"

"I've got a damn good translator."

We started unloading and the firefight had begun.
