CHAPTER THREE: TRAPPED!
The seven ponies found themselves in a clearing with a view of the mountain that had once been the hiding place for the Flower of Eternal Rest, which they had destroyed last year.
"There's the mountain," said Twilight Sparkle and nodded to a nearby path. "Which means that's the path."
"What are we waiting for?" Rainbow Dash asked eagerly. "Let's go!" And she started for the path when Applejack grabbed her tail. "Hey!"
"Instead of rushing in," Applejack suggested, "we should come up with a plan first."
"Oh all right."
After coming up with a plan, the Mane Seven started down the path, staying alert to what was going on in the forest, and it wasn't long before a large wooden cabin came into view. Spotting it, they duck behind a bush, and they peered through the leaves.
"Ya think this is the cabin?" Applejack wondered and she got her answer when the bushes across from them rustled as a hooded figure came out of them, being followed by the entrances fillies and foals from Ponyville. "Apple Bloom!"
Sunrise Blossom quietly hushed her friend as Shadow Star removed her hood and ordered the fillies and foals into the cabin. "Once she goes inside, we can sneak in-"
Suddenly there was a cracking noise and the next thing they knew, the ground dropped away, and they fell out of sight, screaming.
After the last filly entered the cabin, Shadow Star went to the bush, pushing it aside to reveal the large hole that the seven ponies had fallen into. She peered into the hole and saw the seven ponies sprawled on the ground, and they were unconscious thanks to the bottles of Dusk-bloom Mist that had shattered the second they had landed on them.
'Excellent, now I have Princess Celestia's precious students and their friends,' Shadow Star thought with a smug expression.
When Sunrise Blossom regain consciousness, her head was hurting, her Element of Harmony was missing, and there was a chain connected to one of her legs and the wall of the cabin. 'What the-? Ooh, we fell into a trap!' she realized as she struggled to get up, which wasn't easy since her head was still hurting from being exposed to the Dusk-bloom Mist earlier, but she did managed to get onto her hoofs.
She considered using her magic on the chain to get rid of it, but she wasn't sure if Shadow Star had enchanted it somehow, and she needed to figure out where the Ponyville students, her sister, and her friends were first.
The orange unicorn looked around the room she was in, which was some kind of study as there were shelves of books, a large desk, and various items needed for magic and potions. There were also lit candles for light, and there was also a door.
Moving as quietly as possible, Sunrise Blossom made her way over to the door, hoping that the chain wouldn't make too much noise, and she reached the door, finding that there was a small window installed.
The orange unicorn peered through the window and she fought back a gasp when she saw Twilight Sparkle, Rarity, Pinkie Pie, Applejack, Fluttershy, and Rainbow Dash were all locked up in cages, still unconscious. She could also see the fillies and the foals standing still as statues near the cages, and in the center of the room was a black caldron filled with an eerily familiar potion. "Oh no…"
Suddenly Shadow Star appeared in front of the window, and Sunrise Blossom fought back a gasp as she backed away from the door when it was opened with dark red magic. "Shadow Star…"
"Hello again, Sunrise Blossom," Shadow Star said with a sneer, entering the room and shutting the door behind her. "I hope you had a good rest, for I'll need you at your best for what is going to happen to you, your sister, your friends, and the fillies."
The orange unicorn scowled and her horn started to glow green. "If you even think I'm gonna let-" she began and gasped in pain when her magic suddenly disappeared, making her sink to the floor while her head felt like it was going to explode.
Shadow Star smirked, moving closer to the younger unicorn, who was wheezing as the pain gradually started fading. "Oh dear, Sunrise," she tsked while stroking her mane with one hoof. "Did you really think I wouldn't think to ensure that you wouldn't be able to use your magic? You know what can be done with Dusk-bloom Mist, and a few instructions."
"You – you – you won't win!" Sunrise Blossom gasped, glaring up at the older unicorn, who just kept smirking before leaving the study and locking the door behind her. "You won't win!" she shouted before curling up on the floor, feeling hopeless for the first time in her life.
'How can I stop Shadow Star from draining the life force of the fillies, my friends, and my sister when I can't even use my own magic?' she wondered and did a test to see if she could summon even a small amount of magic, and winced when the pain started up again. 'It's no good, evil is going to win this time, and all of Equestria is doomed.'
A/N: Things are not looking too good for the ponies right now. Ok, I am working on the rest of MLP Season 3, so if there's a delay between updates, that'll be due to work and other real life stuff that will probably pop up. Anyway, I will see you all next week. Bye for now! R&R everyone!
