The group was sitting unhappily in a large cell thinking on what they could do. Rainbow Dash was on one of the beds looking longingly at a picture of her and Rage that they took with Scootaloo. "Why?" she asks feeling a stream of tears rush to her.

"Lucky you guys… looks like some new company." A guard says as a light blue Pegasus with long black hair highlighted with purple tips. Her elegant purple wings were tipped black. Her hooves had black gloves on them and her tail looked to be messed up from struggling. She lifts her head up and a white headband and purple eyes were now revealed. As she stood up a pair of headphones were thrown at her knocking her down again.

The next prisoner was a familiar face… it was Silver Sunshine or SS as he preferred. SS was a gray hedgehog with shadows quill design. His eyes were light blue and half closed from exhaustion. His white shirt was torn along with his black long coat and gray jeans. The only things that appeared unscathed was his gloves, metal belt, black and gray shoes, black glasses and scarf.

"Silver Sunshine?!" Christain was the first to run over and help him up "What happened?"

"I was overwhelmed…" he grunts

"have I seen you people around before?" the Pegasus asks readjusting her headphones

"May have, we've been around Equestria a lot recently." Twilight says

"You're Princess Twilight!" the Pegasus exclaims

"and you are?" she asks

"My name is Lightning Striker but you can me Lightning." She says pointing a hoof at herself giving off an attitude much like Rainbow Dash. "But what are you doing here?"

"Well if you want to know, we were captured after a battle." Icezer says trying to break the chains on him

"Cut that out!" the guard says "Those cannot be broken by normal means!"

"You're lucky they are keeping my powers back otherwise id have frozen you two and made me a pair of ice sculptures for my home!" Icezer barks in anger at the guards who just laughs "Just you wait…." Icezer growls

"I assume you were captured the same way?" Xage asks Lightning

"Oh no… I was curious when I saw a portal of energy and it wasn't long after I was captured." She replies

SOMEWHERE NEARBY

Joseph was leading Rage through the forest that he was ambushed in. they soon come to the entrance of a tunnel. "Here we go. These tunnels connect directly into the drainage system of their fortress. Just under them." He says opening the latch allowing Rage in first before closing it behind them.

"It's pitch black in here…" Rage says before Joseph lights a torch

"Come on we have no time to lose." He says continuing forward with Rage not too far behind

'don't worry guys I will be there soon.' Rage thinks following Joseph as close as he could

Back in the fortress Darkness and Dark Gaia were walking down to the dungeon before stopping in front of the cell with the group of mobians and ponies. "Time to go." Darkness says to the guards who nod and open the cell escorting them out of it and into a room with a vertical slab of stone held up by chains emitting a dark aura.

"no…it isn't possible…" Christain whispers

"The Chains of Darkness…" Icezer says with a small squeak of fear. He knew them all too well… the chains that corrupted him once and made him fight his own brothers until he was saved.

Back in the tunnels Rage and Joseph slip through a small grate within the drainage passages. Right as they entered a familiar aura shrouded Rage's senses "Impossible…" he says in surprise

"What's wrong Rage?" Joseph asks

"The Chains of Darkness… they are here…" Rage says

"how?!" Joseph asks "I destroyed them not too long ago!"

"What do you mean I did the same!" Rage responds

"yeah you destroyed them but someone revived them I bet you know who. Anyway if my blade destroyed them then they should be impossible to reform the energy should be nulled." Joseph responds

"Blade?" Rage asks

"My sword known as The Sun's Wrath is a blade bathed in light any darkness it touches should be disrupted and the Chains of Darkness should have been but who could have brought them back?" Joseph asks

"It doesn't matter." Rage says "Darkness is about to use it to corrupt my friends! I won't let that happen!" Rage yells running ahead with Joseph not far behind

"do you have a plan?" he asks

"No," Rage says and Joseph looks at him like he was crazy as they run around a corner "but if it makes you feel more at ease then here's a plan; break in, kick ass and get outta there with the others."

"Rage are you insane?!" Joseph asks "No one has even just busted into their fortress blindly and lived to tell about it!"

"Well that will make us the first," Rage responds

Back with the others Darkness had gathered, Nix, Dark Gaia, Dark Rage, Noah, Spark and some others to watch. "How does it feel?" Darkness asks them "Knowing you are about to be lost to darkness and nothing can save you?" he laughs looking at Rainbow Dash "You first my prismatic little thorn." He smriks as she is grabbed and hooked up by energy shackles as Darkness looks at the others "Do not fret you will join her shortly." He smiles as Rainbow Dash is struck with beams of dark energy making her scream in pain

"RAINBOW DASH!" Twilight and her friends yell

"Silence!" the guard hisses shocking the others

Not too far from the room was Rage and Joseph running through the halls of the lower floor. Rage's ear twitches as he heard Rainbow's scream. "RAINBOW DASH!" he yells picking up his pace forcing Joseph to try and keep up.

"Rage…can you slow down?" he asks

"No can do! They have already started on Rainbow Dash as the first!" he yells back

Inside Darkness was looking pleased along with the others as they watch Rainbow Dash resist the darkness. "My, my, my Rainbow Dash sure is a fighter." Nix says

"She won't last too much longer" Noah chuckles

"It won't be long now…" Darkness laughs when a bang was heard on the door "What was that?" he asks before the door blows open and a blur of red dashes through and snaps the energy holders breaking the large slab making dust cover the area and grabs Rainbow Dash and stands shadowed out by the dust.

"Who is that?!" Dark Gaia yells

(Music- Open You Heart ~Theme of Rage Chaotic~)

Slowly the dust spreads and everyone coughs covering their face. "Dammit!" Darkness coughs before the dust finally clears and everyone looks back to see… Rainbow Dash standing with a happy smile with a red glowing figure. The glow disappears to show… Rage with his Blade of Chaos resting on his shoulders.

"Guess who?" he asks with a smirk

"RAGE?!" Darkness yells

"this is impossible! I know I killed you! That gunshot made your healing powers useless how can you still be alive!?" Nix yells in anger and surprise

"I thought you would have learned by now…" Rage chuckles "I die hard. But if you must know I had help." He smiles as Joseph jumps in

"Sorry I am late." He chuckles as Darkness looks at him surprised

"Joe YOU helped him?!" he exclaims in surprise

"Hello Father…" Joseph growled

"Father?" Rage asks "I thought you said he killed your father."

"He did… Darkness killed the father who was normal…a caring loving father who would give his life to protect us… then you showed your true colors." Joseph growls

"I thought I told you he was our enemy!" Darkness hisses in anger

"No he's YOUR enemy not mine!" Joseph responds

"Enough talk get them!" Darkness yells as the guards and a horde of Dark Spawns leap for Rage, Rainbow Dash and Joseph. But Rage warps them to the cage the others were in before using a Chaos pulse to shatter it and their chains freeing them.

"oh it's on now!" Xage smiles kicking a dark spawn in the head. Lightning coats his hoofs in electricity and starts attacking her way into the onslaught of enemies

"Xenon Cannon!" SS yells blasting a beam of energy though the crowd

"Hurry up before they are done with them!" Darkness says as all of the members in coats vanish in a flash of darkness

"Chaos Bang!" Ace yells shooting chaos spears at some making minor chaos blasts harming some around him

Icezer soon finds the two guards that were keeping an eye on them in the cell "Got ya!" he laughs before freezing them to solid ice.

Rage was slashing as many as he could back to back with Joe as the numbers start getting to them "Alright time for me to finish this!" Rage grunts countering an attack from the side as he glows "Chaos Tech 108: Darkness Seeker Strike!" he yells throwing a blade of energy in the air and then a flash of light hits each enemy finishing the rest off.

After a few minute of recovery the group gathers and Rainbow Dash, Twilight, Applejack, Spike, Pinkie Pie, Fluttershy and Rarity all dog pile Rage with a group hug "You're alive!" they cheer

"yeah thanks to Joe here." Rage smiles after they let go "He and his brother and sister Pence and Olet found me bleeding out. They took me in and saved my life."

"Thank you Joe." Rainbow Dash bows "You saved my special somepony and I am very greatful."

"As for the rest of us." Xage says and the group nods as the place begins to collapse

"Oh no Darkness must be trying to trap us and kill us in the rubble!" Joe says

"I got this." Ace says "Rage?" he asks and throws a Chaos Emeralds at him "Chaos Control!" he yells and with a flash of light they were back in the Palace of Friendship.

"Everyone okay?" Rage asks and they all nod standing up, Rage then sees the two guards frozen on his shoulders "Icezer what is with them?"

"I had a promise to keep" Icezer responds with a devious grin

"now what?" Rarity asks

"I have no idea…" Rage sighs "after such a near death experience I think I need some rest."
