"4-Speed?" Baby Northstar gasped. It was like staring death in the face. They had seen dozens of pictures of him, but the adult ponies had told them he had died. He knew that the methods the Big Brothers had been using to destroy the monsters were completely unsuccessful and decided to take a new approach. He had run into the cave, hoping to distract the dragons enough to give the Big Brothers the upper hand in their battle. It hadn't worked. He disappeared into the cave and was assumed dead.
"Am I glad to see you," said 4-Speed. His eyes watered slightly as they approached his cell. "Can you get me out of here?"
Baby Quackers began looking around as Baby Northstar continued to move closer to 4-Speed's cell. She didn't know what to say, all she could do was stare at him in awe. Baby Quackers noticed a ring of keys hanging on one of the walls. She grabbed it in her teeth and yanked it off of its hook. She ran back to 4-Speed's cell and quickly jammed the key into the lock. The cell door popped open, giving 4-Speed his first experience of freedom in a very long time. He nuzzled the foals closely and tried not to allow himself to break down.
"We should go," said Baby Quackers. "We need to get to the Big Brothers." Before they could begin walking back toward the main area of the cave, 4-Speed ran in front of them and blocked their path.
"No," he said sternly. "It's far too dangerous for you girls out there. We need to figure out a way to get past those monsters without them seeing us."
"It's ok," said Baby Northstar. "We already have a plan. You need to stay out of sight and let us do this. We've made it this far. You just need to trust us." Baby Quackers nodded in agreement. 4-Speed stood, thinking for a moment before finally agreeing.
The baby ponies ran back out to the main area of the cave; 4-Speed followed, but stopped in a spot where the dragons wouldn't notice him. Sid approached them as they moved closer to the entrance of the cave.
"You can't go out there," he said. He didn't look angry anymore. He looked panicked. "You two need to get out of here and go home."
"We can't Sid," said Baby Quackers. "There's something we need to do. We need to make this right."
Before Sid could stop them they ran out of the cave. They were standing in between the dragons and the Big Brothers. Both sides seemed to be caught off-guard.
"Stop!" Baby Northstar screamed.
