A/N: You all must really want to know what happens next apparently. I am getting comments saying to update asap and I am going to do so. I am glad you are all finding this arc to be great; it will only get better from here! On with the chapter!

I was sitting there and I was starting to forget all of the pain I was in. I have been mangled here so much worse than anything else! My spell malfunction wasn’t even as bad as this! I stood up and began looking for an easier route to take down the mountain. I am so getting out of here, even if I have to crawl my way home!

I found a spot that wasn’t really steep and I started to walk down it. I was starting to get really cold, and the frigid air on my open wounds wasn’t helping the pain any. I gradually made my way down the mountainside and soon I hit another stream, in which made me smile. I got over to it as fast as I could and started to lap up the cold water like it was the last thing to drink ever. My god, this tastes amazing! I knelt there for what felt like hours drinking that cool refreshing liquid, then I decided it would be best to keep moving.

I felt like I had a little more energy now that I have at least something in my system. I got down to the base of the mountain after a long while and I started to head off in the direction of the border. The forest down here was a lot more eerie looking than the forest in Equestria. This place scares the crap out of me, there are so many trees and shadows, it’s like one of those slasher films….and I am the victim walking through the creepy forest! DO NOT WANT!!!

I was getting deeper into the forest and I was still a little ways above the floor of the mountain range, but the forest would be accompanying me the rest of the ways down to the floor. Oh I’m off to get mauled by a bear, do da, do da, I’m so disoriented I lost my mind, oh the do da day! Shut up brain; just go into sleep mode ok? I wasn’t paying attention to where I was going and I tripped on a rock and fell. I got my attention back just as I saw the small cliff that I was falling over. “SHIT!”

I fell and hit a fallen tree that was hanging on the side a while ways down and snapped some branches off on the way and yelled as some of them pierced my skin across my body. I should just sit on the ground and do nothing; otherwise I will kill myself trying to get out of here! I kept falling and bounced off various surfaces until I finally smacked hard onto the ground on my chest.

I laid there and soon found myself writing in agony. “ARGH, IT HURTS SO MUCH……..AND I THINK THERE IS A STICK UP MY ASS!!!” I yelled up into the air after I turned over. I am going to crawl to some bushes and stay there for a while, that way I can let this new found pain melt into the other pain I already feel so I can just hurt some more! I am going to write Celestia a strong letter when I get out of here!

I crawled my way over to an area covered by brush and I collapsed and soon sleep washed over me.

Rainbow Dash was lying in the bed and it was turning into the afternoon. She didn’t want to get up, not until she figured out what to do. Stratus woke up and came in to lay with her and she held him close. He was the closest thing to Kyle that she was going to get right now.

“Mom, what’s wrong? Why are you so sad right now? Is it because of Dad? He said he’d be home, you should trust him, and he will come back” Stratus said to Dash as she held him. Mom is really sad; she is making me sad now.

Rainbow Dash kissed him on the forehead and rubbed his mane a little. “I’m fine right now Strat, I’m just worried about him. I know he can handle himself, he has already proven that” Dash said with a sigh. “I might be going somewhere soon Strat, kind of like when I was gone for the day helping out at Cloudsdale, so Fluttershy will be here to watch you while I’m gone.”

“Ok mom” was all Stratus replied.

Dash laid there and thought about what was going to come that night. Will Kyle come home? Or did something actually happen to him and he needs help? I don’t want to bring the others into this if there is something wrong, I’ll go by myself. She came to the conclusion that if anything did happen to him, she would have to make up a little white lie and tell Fluttershy that she was going to help the weather team again, but not before she says that Kyle will be home when he gets the chance. This is the only way.

Dusk rolled around quickly in Ponyville that day. The others came by when the sun was going down to discuss what was going on now. Kyle still hadn’t returned, so something was going to have to be done.

“Well, Kyle is still not back yet. What do you think we should do about it?” Twilight asked the other 5 ponies gathered around her.

“Ah think we should just wait a lil longer, he did have ta do a lot of stuff while he was out there” Applejack answered.

“Kyle will be fine; he has only been gone for two measly days. He probably had to walk some of that distance anyways, so he will probably be back sometime tomorrow” Rarity piped in.

“I think we should go look for him. I mean that place probably is awfully scary seeing as he has never been there before. And….maybe something got ahold of him and isn’t letting him leave?” Pinkie said bouncing up and down.

“I-I don’t care what we do” Fluttershy said quietly.

“Rainbow Dash, what do you think we should do?” Twilight asked the cyan pegasus that was standing on the other side of the room.

“I am not that worried about it anymore. Kyle is probably just taking his time, and I wouldn’t doubt that he would have to walk some of the distance. I will worry about him when the time comes, but for now I am going to focus on me getting to Cloudsdale tonight after this meeting. I have to work a little more and I want to get it done asap” Rainbow Dash said. Her insides were eating her up. She hated to lie, but this had to be done, she was going to go find him, it would be faster that way.

“Are you sure? Twilight asked. She was baffled as to how mellow RD was now compared to last time.

“Yup. Fluttershy, can you watch Stratus for me while I go out to Cloudsdale, it would mean a lot to me.” Rainbow Dash said to the yellow mare.

“S-sure Dash, I can watch the little guy for you” Fluttershy said with a smile.

“Thanks, now I need to get going, I want to get there soon so I can be done quicker and come home. Kyle will probably be home around then anyways” Rainbow Dash said as she started to leave.

The meeting ended with that and RD and Fluttershy left for the house. When they arrived Dash got her saddlebags ready and told Fluttershy thank you again, then she left. What everypony didn’t know however was that Rainbow Dash was going to make her own trip to Stalliongrad to look for Kyle.

Rainbow Dash flew through the air towards the town. I know something happened to him now. I would bet 100 bits that griffons were involved. They always watch that border and cross if something is out of place, and Kyle is no exception. If it WAS griffons that did something to him, they are going to get a beating Rainbow Dash style!

Rainbow Dash flew through the night and only when the morning light of Celestia’s sun began to rise did she see the city in the distance. She kept flying and started to look for any signs of him. She landed on a small trail and began to look on the sides for anything that would point her in the right direction. She looked for a good hour and a half before she found a section of grass that looked funny and saw some blood near it on the ground. Oh no…

She looked around and saw a tree nearby and she trotted up to it. Oh no no no, not again! She saw that there was more blood at the base of the tree and even some cloth, cloth from Kyle’s shirt that he was wearing that day. She saw that there were claw marks on the tree as well, so she had no doubt in her mind who did it now. She punched the tree with her hoof and started to cry tears of sadness and anger “Kyle, I’m coming to get you!”
