A/N: Again, sorry about the wait. I was having a hard time putting this chapter together. I'm not gonna keep anyone waiting. So, Enjoy!


*Sky*

Rainbow flew all over looking for any signs of AJ or Fluttershy. And she hadn't seen them. She groaned, "This is taking way longer than I thought. Maybe they already left."

After flying for a few minutes, she smelt something that made her nose crinkle. "What is that? It kind of smells like-"

She got interrupted by someone screaming, "HELP!"

Instantly, she flew over to the cry for help. She saw a fire that got started in Sweet Apple Acres. She flew down to a clear spot. It already felt like her coat was getting singed. She yelled, "Hello!"

There was a call, "RD, help me!"

There's only one pony that calls me RD. She galloped-awesomely avoiding the fire-towards AJ. When she got there, the fire was surrounding her and was quickly going on to the vines. Applejack shouted, "RD, get me outta 'ere!"

Rainbow started panicking. She looked up to see if there was a cloud anywhere, not even one. Drenching the fire was no good. Her eyes opened wide, she had a great idea. She went up high into the sky and shot straight down. She restrained from getting shot back. When her body was almost near the ground, she lifted her body up and…BOOM! She made a sonic rainboom. The blast from the rainboom caused a large gust, which blew out the fire. She shouted, "Yes! It worked."

She zoomed across the sky and then landed right next to Applejack. She said, "Thanks."

Rainbow nodded to her and bit the vines. Luckily, the fire had made the vines weak and taken the thorns away. Applejack got released from the vines. Unfortunately, she had a lot of scrapes from the thorns, and some parts of her coat were singed. Rainbow apologized, "I'm so sorry this happened to you. I wish I gotten here sooner. I-"

She rose up her hoof to silence Rainbow. She sighed, "It's alright Rainbow. It waden (wasn't) yer fault, it was Discord's. That's all that matters."

Rainbow Dash smiled at her. She exclaimed, "C'mon let's find Fluttershy!"

She picked up AJ and they flew off.


*Kitchen*

Rarity and Twilight tried to reason with Pinkie but she just wouldn't listen. Twilight explained, "Pinkie this isn't you. You love birthday parties, cake, presents, speaking really fast so that no one can understand you."

Rarity added, "And you're our friend. Don't you remember any of this?"

Pinkie looked at the floor for a second. Then, hey eyes went to a drawer full of knives. She shouted, "No!"

She went over to the drawer and kicked it. The knives came flying out. Both Rarity and Twilight ducked. Twilight screamed; a knife got caught in her left hind leg. She tried pulling it out, but the pain was too intense. She raised her head up to see Pinkie had Rarity pinned down. At times like this she would use her magic, but for right now it's useless. So instead, she charged at Pinkie. Pinkie fell off of Rarity and got pinned down.

Twilight shouted, "Stop this madness Pinkie. You are nothing like this! Reach deep down inside of you; do you honestly think this is you?"

Pinkie was about to shout 'yes'. This time she actually thought about it, she closed her eyes. When she opened them up, her eyes showed a lot of hurt. She sighed, "No, I don't think I act like this at all."

She felt something drip on her and she saw Twilight's leg stabbed and it's slowly dripping blood. She asked, "Twilight, can you ever forgive me?"

Twilight smiled at her and got off. She expected Pinkie's mane to go back to being puffy. Unfortunately, it remained flat. Twilight ordered, "We have to get the elements!"

The two ran right behind her. Discord and Nightmare Moon have outdone themselves this time.


*Garden*

Fluttershy ran away from the vicious cats. But, it seemed like they would be one step ahead of her. She hid in some bushes, but she felt like this would be the end of her. There were some rustling inside the bush. She started whimpering. Something touched her shoulder and she screamed. A voice consoled, "Fluttershy, it's me."

It was Rainbow Dash. Instantly, Fluttershy pulled her and hugged her tightly. She started crying. "Please help me. They want to kill me!"

She asked, "Who?"

"It's a cheetah, panther, and a tiger." She cried. Rainbow said, "Oh my."

She followed that with a silent chuckle. She poked her head outside the bush and there were stripes in her face. No doubt it was the tiger. She flew out of the bush and yelled, "Come get me you big, old, pussycat!"

The tiger roared and started chasing Rainbow. It was kind of stupid since she can fly. She whispered, "This is gonna be easy."

There was a bright purple flash. When it dimmed out, she saw Nightmare Moon flying beside her. She asked, "Aren't you a pony who likes competition?"

There was a feeling inside her gut, she had an idea what was coming. She lied, "No. I think you got me confused with somepony else."

Nightmare Moon laughed, "Well, just to make this more interesting."

Her horn glowed and Rainbow's wings disappeared. I knew it. Rainbow thought. She started falling. Nightmare Moon shouted, "Have fun!" Then, she disappeared.

Rainbow landed on the ground with a hard thud. She picked herself up and looked back. The tiger was catching up with her. She got up on her hooves and started running. She said, "It doesn't matter. I can still outrun this tiger, and get him into the net."

Another light glowed, except this time it was white. It ceased and Discord was gliding right next to her. He informed, "I thought you were the Fastest Flyer in Equestria. Not the Fastest Runner in Equestria."

Rainbow sighed, "Touché."

He looked back and said, "You might wanna pick up the pace."

"Huh?"

She looked back and the tiger was right at her tail. She tried her best to pick up speed. Discord asked, "Now that you can't fly, how're you gonna avoid the net?"

With that, he disappeared. She hadn't thought about that. She got to the turn with the net. There wasn't enough time to think about a plan. So, she closed her eyes and hoped for the best. After a few seconds, she felt wind on her face. Rainbow opened her eyes and saw that she was flying. A voice asked, "Are you okay?"

She looked up and saw Fluttershy. She sighed, "I am now. What about the panther and the cheetah?"

Fluttershy landed in the middle of the garden, they saw the cheetah and the panther tied up. Applejack jumped out from behind the two big cats. She laughed, "Those two were to easy catch."

Fluttershy added, "Especially since we ran into a catnip patch."

Rainbow ordered, "We have to find the others."

The three ran towards the castle.


*Castle-Main Room*

Twilight, Rarity and Pinkie Pie all ran to get to the Elements of Harmony. The three stopped when they saw the doors fly open. At first they thought it was Discord and Nightmare Moon. But were relieved when it was just their friends, they all gasped.

Twilight had dirt covering her, she had a bleeding wound on her hind leg with a knife in it, and her mane is a little messy. Pinkie Pie had a big bruise on her side and her eyes looked a little crazy. Applejack had a singed coat, scrapes from the thrones, and bruises from the vines being tied around her tightly. Rainbow had a big bruise on her stomach. Rarity's coat was all dirty and her mane looked wild. Fluttershy had leaves all in her mane and tail, and a few scrapes from the bushes.

Rarity said, "We all look awful."
