Trixe looks up, holding one hoof over her eyes
"W-what is THAT?!"
Applebloom squeels "Maybe we should go back t-to the c-castle?"
Trixe replies "Hm..no, it may not be the nicest place out there, but the Volcano of gloom is one of the safest, now come on."
*Meanwhile at Dream Castle*
Sunset Shimmer looks out a window
"That...cannot be good."
Rainbow flies over
"You think it's Enigma?"
Sunset replies "Who else it would be?
If nothing else, maybe this will get the attention of Discord."
Rainbow laughs "HAHA! Discord's probably not coming back,
but my friends will."
Sunset groans
"GUUH! RAINBOW!
Your friends aren't coming back, there's no way they could be alive,
and if they were, why would they leave us all for an entire month? it doesn't make sense."
Rainbow smirks
"I'm sure they have their reasons."
*Meanwhile in Tartarus*
In the deep and dark pit of 'Tartarus'
lay the Alicorns. (minus Rota and Twilight)|
chained to a wall, their magic disabled.
The oldest of them all, Celestia awakes.
"Uuuughh... just.. hold on everyone,
whatever you do, don't... don't give in..."
Cadence starts crying
"I-I won't."
Luna attemtps to get out of her chains.
Sterling yells
"LUNA! THERE'S NO POINT! GIVE IT UP!
We're never going to get out of here..."
Luna responds harshly.
"I DON'T CARE IF IT'S IMPOSSIBLE! I WILL NEVER STOP TRYING!"
Gold Lily cries "Luna.. it's only hurting you to keep this up, please just stop."
Celestia nods "It's not helping anyone to see you hurting yourself."
Luna growls
"I TOLD YOU I'M NOT STOPPING!"
Enigma walks in with his skeleton minions, laughing
"AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH! DO KEEP IT UP PRINCESS LUNA!
Don't listen to your family, you can break free, I believe in you!
Oh what a load of garbage."
Luna growls again
"You Enigma, could NEVER understand WHY I MUST BREAK FREE,
Because there are ponies out there we care about, BESIDES OURSELVES!"
Enigma pokes Luna with his cane, making her jump a bit.
"You're right Luna, I can't understand, because in the grand scheme of things you're all meaningless,
awwww. did your seat of power make you forget? just how MEANINGLESS you really are?
You were poor, each and everyone of you."
The skeletons laugh
Celestia yells
"OUR MOTHER WAS DOING THE BEST SHE COULD!"
Enigma chuckles
"You're right she was, and that wasn't very well,
Oh I remember the last words she said before she burned."
"What were they Boss?" One of the skeletons asks
Celestia screams
"SHUT IT YOU MONSTER!"
Enigma continues
"Run children run, 'we'll be fine' she said,
'don't worry about us' she said.
Celestia tries to break free of her chains
"DON'T YOU DARE INSULT OUR MOTHER!
SHE WAS AN HONORABLE RESPECTABLE MARE,
SHE HAD ALL THE TRAITS YOU LACKED!"
The unicorn skeleton get's up in Celestia's face.
"And what are you gonna do about it if he does? huh? huh?"
She headbutts his skull, and his horn falls to the ground.
he screams "OW!"
And the other one runs up to him.
"Are you ok bud?" He asks
and he replies 'Yeah dude, i'm good thanks, oww.."
Enigma looks down at the bone, noticing how broken it is from the headbutt.
He laughs "Don't worry, we'll find you a new horn in some graves somewhere."
Sterling growls
"You would defile those graves?"
Enigma ponders
"Hmm... let me think for a moment,
YES, come on minions."
he laughs
Luna looks in the horn's direction.
"That horn..."
Celestia replies "Hmm... can you reach it?"
Luna nods.
Cadence groans.
"GUUUHH!
What good would it do? you're in solid metal chains? we can't CUT through steel!"
Luna grabs the horn with her hoof, moving it toward herself, she picks it up with her mouth.
She places the horn in the lock, and manages to release the chains.
Cadence exclaims "YOU DID IT!"
Luna puts her hoof on her mouth, and begins unleashing all of the other's.
once she does, she begins to speak.
"This escape isn't going to work, unless we have an advantage,
someone who knows this place inside and out, someone... who's escaped so far."
Celestia replies
"You're right Luna, and I just who can help us."
