"Okay, where to now?" I asked. "Well, we could go to either. There's a train for both leaving in about five minutes. I vote we go to Las Pegasus. It's a long train ride and it will give us some time to sleep, get our strength back up." Twilight said. "I agree. We'll need our strength. Especially if we encounter my team again." I said. "Then its settled, we will head to the party capital of Equestria. Las Pegasus." Pinkie said. We boarded the train and took our seats in one of the cars that had bedding in them. We laid down and fell asleep almost instantly. It had been a stressful day. I kept having nightmares about Dash. I woke up in a cold sweat and pulled my legs over the edge of the bed. I sat there with my face in my hands. I heard a thump on the top of the car we were in. It was the sound of someone running on top of the train. I got up and moved to the door just as it opened and I was face to face with a blond haired pegasus with an eyepatch. "Wind Storm." I said as she kicked me in the chest, knocking me backwards. She jumped over me and grabbed Twilight's bag. She ran to the other end of the car and out the door. I chased her and caught her on top of the cars. "Why are you even still trying? Prince Blackblood will rule all of Equestria. It's his destiny." She said. "No, you're wrong. Wind, this isn't you. Whatever hold he has over you, fight it." I said as she drew her sword. "The prince has done nothing but show me the truth. Now, die!" She screamed. "I won't fight you. This isn't you. The real Wind Storm was my best friend. She would never give in to someone like Prince Blackblood. Fight it, you are strong. Remember the truth." I said as I dodged her blade. "You speak lies!" She said as she swung again. "Come on, I know that my Wind Storm is in there somewhere! You're stronger than him! Fight it!" I yelled. She dropped her blade and fell to her knees with her hands to her head. "That's it! Fight him! Don't let him win! We've been through worse and come out on top!" I said. "Get out of my head, you evil bastard!" She screamed. "That's it, come back to me, Wind!" I shouted. She dropped her hands and looked up at me. "Jet Stream?" She asked with a drowsy look on her face. "I'm here, Wind. Just relax and let me help you." I said. She managed a week smile before collapsing. I grabbed her and headed back into the train. I set her on my bunk and sat on the edge of it. I took her bag and Twilight's.

"What is he doing here?!" Twilight asked as she jolted me awake. I looked up to see her standing over me with an eyebrow raised. I hadn't even realized I'd fallen asleep. "She was trying to steal our piece of the armor last night. I followed her out onto the top of the train and talked her down. I think I managed to break Blackblood's hold on her." I said. "I'll be the judge of that." Twilight said. She grabbed Wind's head and brought it close to hers. She put her horn against her forehead. After about a minute, she put her back down and pulled back. "Well, she's cleared of dark magic. How did you do it?" She asked. "I just reminded her of how strong she is and how close we've always been. She fought him off. And there's also some better news." I said as I opened Wind's bag and pulled out the helmet from before. "Wow! We have two pieces now! We might get to have that after party after all!" Pinkie yelled. Wind started to wake up. She looked up at me. "Jet! I thought you were reassigned." She said. "No. I had some help in making them see the error of their rules." I said. "Where am I?" She asked. "You're on a train to Las Pegasus." I replied. "Las Pegasus? How did I get here?" She asked as the train jolted to a stop. "Come on. I'll explain everything on the way." I said as we exited the train. As we walked to the tourist kiosk, I explained what happened to her. "Wow. The last thing I remember is hearing that you were being reassigned." She said. "Yea. You were pretty out of it." I replied as I grabbed a map. I looked it over. "Damn it. Would it kill these people to list the kingdom ruins on a map." I said. "Excuse me." Said a voice from in front of me. I looked to see a male unicorn with straightened black and red striped hair. He was wearing black jeans and an orange T-shirt with a picture of a microphone on it. "I couldn't help but over hear that you were looking for the old kingdom ruins." He said. "Yea. Why?" I asked. "Well, it's just that that's where I'm heading here shortly. Just as soon as my DJ arrives. We're throwing a huge rave out there. I can give you guys a lift if you'd like." He said. "That would be nice. What do you ladies think?" I asked. They all nodded. "Alright. Sounds like a plan to me. I'm Jet Stream. This Is Wind Storm, Twilight Sparkle, Applejack, Pinkie Pie, Rarity, Fluttershy, and Rain..." I started to say as I shook his hand. "Nice to meet you all. I'm Sun Blast. I run a club out here in Las Pegasus." He said. "You said you were waiting on your DJ." I said. "Oh, there she is now." He said pointing behind us to the train. I turned to see the unicorn from Pinkie's party. "Vinyl Scratch!" Pinkie screamed and ran over to the DJ and hugged her. "Oof! What are you doing here, Pinkie?" She asked. "We're on a top secret mission for Celestia." Pinkie said. "Pinkie!" We all shouted. "Oops! Don't tell anyone, Vinyl." Pinkie said. "Your secrets safe with me." Vinyl said. She looked over at Sun Blast. "Sun, it's been a while." She said as she fist bumped the other unicorn. "Our annual rave last year. Man that one got out of hand fast." Sun said. "Pssh. You're telling me. Tavi kicked my ass when she found out about it. So many cops." Vinyl said. "So, shall we?" Sun said pointing to a bus parked in the train station parking lot. We hopped aboard and headed into the desert.
