Young Amber Leaf didn't know what to think of the news. She immediately ran back to her mining section and continued chipping off pieces of rock. King Sombra and Queen Twilight Spa- Terror cannot get away with this. Next thing you know, Celestia will be captured and they'll be able to take over Equestria!
Amber Leaf walked over to her friend Crystal Waves. "Hey, Crys..." Amber started. "I think we should ambush the king and queen..." Crystal's eyes widened with fear. "Are you crazy?! That'll never work! We'll get caught, just like Princess Luna did!" Crystal Waves shook her head in dismay and went back to mining. Amber Leaf continued as well, kind of disappointed in her friend for not trusting her. She looked toward Crystal and said, "We won't get caught... Because I have a plan!"

"LOOK OUT!" Rainbow Dash's ears perked up at the sound of a stallion's voice. She turned around and noticed a pegasus heading straight for her at high speeds. She tried to fly away, but before she even knew it, the pegasus had crashed into her cloud, making them both plummet towards Ponyville. Rainbow quickly spread out her feathery wings, making the wind catch in them so she could hover. "AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH!" Rainbow Dash noticed that the pony that had crashed into her was falling to his death. She couldn't stand to see him crash (again), so she flapped her wings as fast as possible to catch up to the falling stallion. The blue pegasus swooped up the stallion and laid him on a cloud. "Thanks," he started. "I guess I couldn't get my wings out fast enough to save myself." He chuckled a little bit. Rainbow giggled. "I'm Star Knight, you are?" Rainbow Dash stared at the young pony for a moment. He had nice dark blue hair with green highlights and a light blue coat of fur. His eyes were a brilliant yellow color. It reminded her of the sun. She realized that the stallion had asked her a question. She was so caught up in his appearance. "Uuuuuuh... Rainbow Dash..." She muttered. The pegasus smiled lightly. "Nice to meet you, Rainbow Dash. I must say, you have quite the speed when it comes to flying!" The blue pegasus smirked at the compliment, standing taller, puffing out her chest, being proud. "I know!" She taunted, flapping her wings just a slight bit. The pegasus stallion chuckled at her statement, then remembering what he was directed to do. His big smile then turned into a serious thin line of his mouth. "I'm sorry to disappoint, but I have to get going. Princess Celestia ordered me to practice my flying skills, considering that I kind of ruined your cloud up there." Star Knight gestured toward a once large cloud that turned into little pieces of fluff. Rainbow Dash followed his hoof, her smile slowly fading into a tiny frown. "Ya, I was kind of trying to get my mind off of some..." Rainbow looked down at the ground. "...Some disturbing memories..." She closed her eyes, remembering Twilight and Shining's funeral. She quickly erased that from her mind and said, "Aren't you supposed to be going...?" Star Knight's eyes quickly grew in size and he prepared his wings for flight. "Well, see ya later... Rainbowdash..." And he took off.
