Spike flapped his purple feathered wings as hard as he could. He had to make it back to Ponyville before anything too drastic could happen. "The elements of Harmony are broken? Twilight.. Please..." He cried. As he flew he saw the beasts eyes in his mind. Watching his moves, the idea sent chills through the dragon turned pony. He raced through the clouds and was met by a familiar pegasus, Rainbow Dash. "Hey Speed Racer! You see that THING? It was huge!" She was talking on and on, still in shock of the sight she bore witness too. " I guess you havent seen the ground then, huh Dash?" Spike looked at her out the corner of his eyes.
"Wha..." She lowered her gaze for the first time since Bane flew over, her eyes widened and she almost fell, wings stopping from the shock of it all. "No...No way.." a few tears welled up in her rose eyes. "Thats... Thats.. Not.. Possible! What happened to the forest! It's gone! Everfree Forest is gone! Zecora!" She shouted and flew down into the newly made gorge in the ground, a rainbow streaking behind her. Spike had to resist stopping her, she would be fine. He had more pressing matters to attend to. The wellbeing of ponyville, and his friends who reside on the ground level there.
As he flew lower to the ground, he started to see the damage that the earthquake had caused Ponyville. Sweet Apple Acres and Crisp Carrot Farms had been nearly demolished. He saw carrot top salvaging what she could. He flew closer to Sweet Apple Acres and began to help Big Macintosh, who was frantically digging through the rubble of their home, moving broken boards and pieces of furniture. Big Mac grasped at a yellow hoof and pulled AppleBloom from the rubble. Spike found the remains of Granny Smiths favorite rocker, and soon found her nearby. Apple Bloom sat up and looked around, tears spilling from her eyes, she held onto her brother for dear life. She looked over at Spike and saw Granny Smith, "Is she..?" She couldnt bear to say the words that ran through her head. Spike lowered his head to Granny Smith's chest. She was still breathing. "Shes alive. " He said plainly. He pulled her farther out of the rubble, gently laid her on the ground. "Was AJ here?" Spike looked to the male head of the apple family, who made his way over to Granny. "Ey..Nope. Took off to Sugarcube corner 'bout an hour before all the ruckus." Big Mac spoke with a solid country twang. Apple Bloom cuddled to her brother. Spike nodded and took off in the direction of Fluttershy's cabin, he felt he had to since she was on the way.
He approached with caution, who knows how the frantic scurring critters would react. Slowly he creeped through the broken limbs of her home. "He..Help.." He heard a soft voice say. "Someone is there, Angel. Please stop squirming." He heard Fluttershy mutter. "Keep talking Fluttershy! I'll find you!" He spoke with urgency. He stepped closer and closer to her, still muttering words of comfort to the critters she saved. He looked under many broken limbs and branches, eventually finding a pink flowing mane sticking through some of the debris. He lifted the rubble from Fluttershy, who squeaked and curled closer to Angel and the other creatures of her home. She laid in a heap over them, protecting even the smallest mouse from the falling furnishings and picture frames of her home. She's cut and bruised, but otherwise looks fine. She looked up to Spike. "Oh, Malachite! You're okay.. Have you seen the others? Is everypony okay?" She sits up and winces a bit. Spike watches Angel hop off to find the first aid kit and looks back to Fluttershy. " I havent gotten the chance yet. The apple family is okay. Granny Smith is roughed up but she seems fine. " He kneels down and helps Fluttershy to stand. "Thank you..Please, I'm fine though, go check on the others. " She smiled and put her hand on the wall for support. Spike nodded skeptically but ran out from the house, jumping to take flight.
He gazed down and the distraught ponyville. The town hall was completely collapsed into the ground, another canyon scarred the once beautiful town, it was a gash right down the houses were damaged, but some stood strong, only missing a few posts and a sign or two.. He landed in front of Sugarcube corner, Mr. and Mrs. Cake were attempting to comfort the Baby Cakes, both of which were crying. Scared as can be they clung to their parents. Spike stepped through the broken down door, "Excuse me-" Mr. Cake looked over at Spike and sighed. "This is a really bad time. " He spoke, immediately going back to hushing Pound Cake. "But I'm just looking for Pinkie and AppleJack, Are they okay? Are they here?" Spike asked. A crack of lightning lit the sky, and rain began to pour. The Cakes attempts to calm the children were becoming more and more futile. looked at spike and spoke harshly "No, they left just before the unless you want to try to calm the kids, please just leave!" She huffed. Spike slowly walked backwards outside the door. Not daring to speak another word until outside the doorframe. "Sheesh.. Just because Ponyville is going to heck doesnt mean you..need... Oh no..." Spike looked up to the sky, and saw what he feared. Clouds. Rain Clouds. Pink ones.. Pink cotton candy clouds, and from them, spilled the chocolate rain that spelled the end of order for Equestria.
