Chapter 4: it never ends does it?

"Who are you?" Lightning asked the earth pony before them, "I am commander shine, and you are all responsible for the destruction of canterlot tower." Lightning almost staggered; they were at fault? "Now you listen here!" it was Rarity, "We are not at fault for the damage done to the tower, if anything; it was the changelings!" the commander snorted "And who were the changelings fighting?" lightning smiled, "Not the second in command for the royal guard." The commander purpled; this had clearly hit home. "The princess would like to see you 9." 9? Lightning looked around; where was Discord?

The 9 ponies made it to the throne room; inside was more guards than lightning had ever seen, "Put them in the dungeon, I don't want to see them until the princess returns." They were hauled off by type of pony; Lightning was hauled off to the pegusus area (or as some may say the pegusus wing!) of the dungeon; Rainbowdash and Lightning were thrown into the same cell, "I can't believe the left us in the dungeon!" Rainbowdash was livid; "Calm down Rainbow' freaking out won't do anything to help." Lightning reasoned; Rainbow didn't want to hear it, "And then what? Do nothing?" Lightning sighed, she was as hard to deal with as Scootaloo, "No, we come up with a plan to either wait until Princess Celestia returns or we can try to escape."

Lightning had heard that the pegusus wing was built so that flying out would get them nowhere; Lightning couldn't fly, he had a different mindset to escape. He got up and started to press the bricks; trying to find a loose cluster of them. "What are you doing?" Rainbowdash asked, "Having read many books on prison escapes; and you would be surprised; I know how to escape without using your wings; not that I could." Rainbowdash sighed and Lightning vaguely heard her say the word "Egghead" but he ignored it in favor of the task at hand.

Twilight on the other hand was thrown into a cell with Sketch; the two quickly got into an argument about what to do next. "We need to wait for the princess; she would never leave us down here to die!" Twilight insisted, "Oh yeah? Then why are we down here in the first place?" Sketch countered Twilight couldn't answer that, but Sketch got to work on the window frame. "Why the frame? Why not the bars?" Twilight asked, "The window bars are magic proofed, it would make sense they have that in the unicorn wing." Twilight slumped down, "Then what do we do now?" she asked. "We need to get out, and I have a plan." Sketch went back to pressing his hoof against the frame, "I just need to find- Aha!" Sketch exclaimed, not too loudly though. Sketch then used his magic on the frame in a laser to cut the regular brick.

Pocket was thrown roughly into a cell with Applejack, "Watch it will you?" she asked the guard who didn't respond; Applejack was asleep on the cot, tired from the previous battle. "Come on, get up!" she shouted into Applejack's ear. "CONSARN IT!" Applejack shouted in surprise, "What in tarnation didja do that fer?" She demanded, "We need to find a way out of this place." Pocket answered simply. "The princess'll come to get us out of here." Pocket sighed, "Really? Wouldn't she have not let you be put down here?" Applejack sat up, "yer right, the princess would be down here fer us already" The two earth ponies started to think up Ideas to escape.

Authors note: Oh yeah! I felt like throwing another thing in the way! Corporal lunch; I know I should chande gears but this was the best way to show each character under a different light. Oh and it will include references to other things I don't own.
