A/N: Will they get home yet? Will everything be fine already? I’ll tell you now, the answer is no, this is an adventure arc and I need to make it a big one. I will tell you this though; it will be over by chapter 70. I don’t want to keep you waiting, on with the chapter!

I was flying with Rainbow Dash and she wouldn’t stop looking at me. I know I look like I just fought a war by myself, leave me alone! “Dash, I am fine, it’s just some scratches, I will get those fixed when I get back to Ponyville. Right now, my next focus is going to be talking to Celestia about what happened to us, and I want to look like this when I see her so she knows just how bad it was” I said to her as we flew in between some trees.

We were still in Grydon, but we were getting close to the border now. We stopped when we saw a patrol of griffons flying in front of us. I still had my bag and I was going to do something that I was going to regret. I took out my laptop that never lost power and went into my music library. “Get ready to hide Dash” I said to her. I am so sorry for this laptop, but you will be a distraction now, you are a good soldier. I pushed the play button for a really loud song and threw it in front of the griffons before flying down into a nearby tree canopy with Rainbow Dash.

The griffons saw the thing fly past their heads with a loud noise coming out of it and followed it as it sailed toward the ground. “Get it, whatever it is” yelled one of the griffons. A griffon was going to go up and grab it, but it hit the ground and shattered into millions of pieces. All of the griffons landed and started to look at the mound of rubble that used to be a laptop.

I smiled and looked at RD “Come on; let’s go while they are distracted.” I miss it already! We flew out of the canopy and towards the other side of the border. We made it over and kept going, but we heard one of the griffons yell ‘there they are, get them!’ and we tried to pick up our speed. I don’t want to stop now, gotta move fast!

The griffons kept gaining on us and I looked back and saw that there were only two of them. “Dash, I think we can take them if we work together. The other two must have went back to tell the others” I said over to her as we flew through the clouds. I want to break their faces!

“Let’s do it!” Dash said to me confidently.

“Here let’s hide in this cloud up here, and when they come inside of it, we jump them. Don’t hold back Dash, we need to show them that they can’t mess with us and get away with it” I said to her confidently.

We flew inside the cloud and waited there. The cloud was covering us somewhat and we could not be seen very easily. The griffons soon came inside and I jumped on the back of one and wrapped my arms around its neck. I will choke you out you overgrown pigeon!

Dash saw the other griffon and bucked him in the side of the head. The griffon reeled back and then Dash went in and hit him again in the same spot. “You shouldn’t mess with the best, you stupid birds!”

The griffon I was on was flailing around trying to get me off, but his attempts were getting weaker as the air to his brain was cut off by me choking him. He passed out shortly later and fell to the ground and I stayed up in the air and watched him fall like a ton of bricks. Ok, one down, one more to go! I looked over to where Dash was fighting the other griffon and watched as she bucked the griffon in the side of the head. Ouch, that looked like it was painful! Glad it is happening to him instead of me!

Rainbow Dash was getting the upper hand. She was punching the griffon now with her front hooves while she floated. She made another attempt to swing, but the griffon caught her hoof and held it. The griffon started to turn her hoof up and Dash started to yell out in pain as the griffon slowly broke her foreleg.

I saw what was happening and flew over to her and the griffon, but I heard the snap before I could stop it. I screamed and threw a fist out as hard as I could and it connected with the griffon’s temple. The griffon’s eyes rolled into the back of his head and he fell like the other did. “Dash! Come on let’s get out of here!” I said before I picked her up and shot towards a small forest in the distance.

I landed on the trail right as we got close to the trees and saw that Rainbow Dash had passed out. Her foreleg was broken and hung limp as I held her. Shit, you are never going to come try to play the hero ever again, your grounded! I kissed her on the forehead and began walking on the trail into the small forest.

This has to be the most peaceful it’s been around here yet! Even if it is bittersweet. I am going to get Rainbow Dash to some medical attention and then go to Canterlot to tell Celestia about this, or else shit is going to hit a wind turbine! I walked through the forest trail and slowly began to calm down. I held RD close and she was now holding onto my arm for comfort and nuzzling it. I smiled and then kept walking.

Twilight was curious to why RD was not acting so paranoid anymore. She acted completely different that night and it made her wonder. She hadn’t seen or heard from the pegasus in 3 days now and she was starting to get worried about her as well.

Twilight was going over the possibilities of what could be going on. Did she really go to the weather center to help again? Why was she so short with everypony that night, she looked like she wanted to go somewhere really bad? Oh no, she must have flown off to Stalliongrad to look for Kyle! Twilight shot out of her home to go round up the others yet again to tell them about what is going on.

After Twilight got the other four together they all sat in the tree house yet again to discuss what to do now. “I just now realized that RD was lying when she said that she needed to go help the weather team, she needed an excuse to go out to find Kyle herself. She must not want us to get involved” Twilight said as she looked at the four ponies in front of her.

“Well, then what do you suggest we do about it?” Rarity asked.

“I think we should wait until tonight, and if she is not back by then, we go looking for both of them. I will write a letter about something being wrong with the area around Stalliongrad to the princess as soon as we are done here. I want you all to meet me back here at 9:00 to prepare if they are not back by then” Twilight said with concern in every word.
The others nodded and left and Twilight soon began to work on a letter to send to Celestia. Please let those two be alright. This is not something that I need right now!

I was still walking, but I was feeling the tiredness start to seep into my body. I was out of the forest again and was in a large clearing. In the far distance I could see Ponyville and I was happy for that. Ok, tomorrow morning we will be back home Dash. I took RD over to a patch of large grass and laid down and had her on my chest.

Rainbow Dash woke up and saw that she was lying on Kyle’s chest. She didn’t even try to move because of her leg, but being here right now made it all worth it. “Kyle?”

I jumped out of my mental stupor and saw Dash looking at me with those eyes of hers. Oh sweet Jesus how I have missed that! I smiled at her “We should try to get some sleep, we are close to Ponyville, we should be home tomorrow morning.”

“Kyle, I just wanted to say that I know you didn’t want me to come out there and look for you, and you are probably mad at me for that, but I love you too much just to let you stay away for that long. I need you to be around me, and if I have to even fight with you to do that I will” Dash said to me, she was trying to hold back tears.

You’re going to make me cry! “I didn’t want you to come out there, and no I am not mad at you for it. I just don’t want you to get hurt, I love you too much for that, but I guess I failed that little scenario. I am glad you would fight with me, and I am thankful you did, or I might not be here right now to tell you this. You and Stratus are the best things in my life, and I would do anything to stay by your sides….even break out of a dungeon twice” I said to her as a single man tear ran down my cheek.

Dash sighed and rested her head on my chest again and I rubbed her mane softly. Soon both me and her were out cold.

A/N: I hope you like the arc so far, it still isn’t over yet! They managed to get away from the griffons, but what about everything else? I will update again tomorrow, see you soon!
