The wind howled as it tore leaves from the trees, causing the branches to snap under the sheer force of the wind. Apples fell left and right from the trees all over Sweet Apple Acres, many being bruised or damaged badly. Applejack was out in the fields with Big Macintosh catching as many of the apples as they could before they could hit the ground to avoid being damaged. No sooner as one bushel had been filled then another one was kicked into play. Big Macintosh breathed heavily as he ran as fast as his hooves could carry him, ducking and weaving to avoid falling branches and catching falling apples as they were blown from the trees. He yelled to Applejack as he finished filling another bushel and rushed to get another.

"AJ! Don't worry'bout the apples, Ah've got as much of the field covered as ah can. Go find ah Pegasus and see why the weather is acting all crazy."

"But, Mac, we need teh..." Applejack was suddenly cut off by Big Macintosh as he stomped the ground hard sending a small tremor around her.

"No buts! Now GET!" He snorted as he started running to catch more apples.

Applejack's eyes went wide in surprise at Big Macintosh's sudden vocal outburst. She hesitated for a moment then took off toward Ponyville at top speed. Although the wind was gusting all around, there was no rain to be seen or felt. The sky was covered in thick grey clouds which seemed to roll with the wind. AJ made it quickly into Ponyville and began looking all around for a Pegasi. She was mainly looking for Rainbow Dash, as she could make it to Cloudsdale to find out what is wrong with the weather, but had no luck. A loud crack of lightning shot across the sky briefly illuminating everything in sight then going back to a dull grey as the wind continued its torrent. AJ was having a hard time moving in the wind, she looked around for some cover but all the shops and houses were shut tight. No lights were on anywhere in sight.

"Gotta find shelter. This is getting to dangerous for anypony teh be out in." She said as she continued looking around.

Twilight settled in quietly listening to the wind outside as it continued tearing through Ponyville. Spike was curled up underneath a blanket at her side, shivering slightly in fear as the huge tree library creaked and groaned under the constant pressure of the wind. The creaking began to grow as a loud SNAP was heard, then a loud crash. A gust of wind began filling the library as it had snapped off the large balcony overhang branch on the Tree house library. Twilight jumped up, running up the small flight of stairs to the area were the balcony once stood, using her magic to block the wind.

"SPIKE! I need you to take an emergency letter!" Twilight yelled over the roaring wind as it pressed harder against her magical barrier. Spike rushed to get a red piece of parchment, then back to Twilight who was straining her magic against the wind. He put quill to parchment as Twilight began.

"Princess, This is urgent! Ponyville and possibly all of Equestria may be in danger from this storm. A part of the library has already suffered heavy damage and I am using all my power to keep it together from this terrible wind. Why are the Pegasi creating such a terrible storm? If this continues then there may be many injured ponies and creatures from this constant wind damaging things. Please help. Twilight." She spoke as Spike began rolling the parchment into a bund and breathed in to send it.

"Wait Spike, Use the emergency breathe, That will send it to Celestia and not just her chambers or throne. Spike gave a shudder as he took in a deep breathe and held it. He opened his mouth and breathed out slowly letting loose what seemed like a blue slow motion flame as it incinerated the parchment in his hand. Instead of floating away in a green smoke though like the normal method in sending a scroll. This one vanished into thin air being instantly delivered to Celestia. Only a few moments had past when Spike let loose a loud burp that turned into a reply parchment from Celestia. Spike quickly began to read it.

"Twilight, I am currently in Cloudsdale speaking with the weather team, This weather phenomenon is not due to the Pegasi, But due to an extremely rare magic storm that hasn't been seen for several hundred years. I have seen many in the past and they will always have destructive force. Please, if you are able, let everypony know about this danger, and to remain indoors or undercover until it has past. I do not wish to see another pony hurt. I am unable to use my magic to try and disperse the storm as magic usage will only make it worse in the areas nearest to the magic focal point. Please do not worry about the library. Do not use your magic for any means unless there is no other choice. Stay safe. Celestia."

Twilight gasped at the thought of the princess being unable to do anything about the storm and the fact magic could cause it to get worse. Realization hit her, she was using magic to block the broken staircase from the wind. She immediately stopped the magic flow letting the air rush in. The wind had gained much force since she began using her magic, hitting her and Spike hard, and pushing them back and down the staircase. She squinted her eyes through the massive force of wind and located spike, picking him up as she yelled over the roaring wind.

"We need to get to Sweet Apple Acres! The Apple family has several storm cellars everypony can use for shelter."

Spike nodded and held on tight to Twilight as she made way to the door of the library. Twilight braced herself on the side of the door before she opened it. The force of wind literally tore the door from its hinges as she opened it, causing it to fly across the room and wedge itself like a knife into a bookcase, in turn, causing books and paper to fly in every direction. She squinted her eyes as she forced herself outside through the wind. Upon making it out the door though the wind shifted directions and was now blowing away from her, into the direction she was going. Although she could now see, she couldn't help but be pushed in that direction. Every step she took made her move roughly 5 steps in order to keep her from falling. She managed to make it just down the street to Sugarcube Corner before she noticed a sign in the window. "Evacuated". She then looked across the street and to other houses and shops, Almost everyone of them had that same sign. The lavender unicorn smiled knowing her friends were now probably safe, and picked up pace giving a light trot as the wind blew her harder making it seem as if she was running at full speed toward Sweet Apple Acres.

Applejack was not fairing well. She had almost made it to Ponyville when a rouge limb had struck her hard on her front right leg. She could no longer walk in the wind without falling down so she had taken shelter in a small cave on side of the path to Ponyville. She lay quietly as she watched debris fly around outside. Giving a loud sigh as she lay her head down. She hated not being able to help anyone and hated even more when it came to getting hurt. Even though she was a workhorse, she was always careful to not get hurt. AJ snapped upright as she saw a purple pony skid by the cave on their side. The pony smacked hard into a tree and lay there out cold. Peeking her head out of the cave as the wind rushed by, she watched the wind as it had turned into a now, gale force speed, uprooting trees left and right. AJ squinted to see what pony was crazy enough to be out in this weather, looking over to the tree where the little purple pony lay, she saw some movement as something else purple detached from the pony.

"Oh hayseed, its Twilight and Spike." She said, her heart racing, seeing Twilight hurt. Spike managed to stand up only to be forced back onto Twilight who was out cold. He reached down and shook her hard trying to wake her but to no avail. A rope suddenly lashed out in the wind against Spike and Twilight. Spike looked up seeing the rope and gave it a tug, the rope tugged back. He traced it back to what he saw was a cave but couldn't see who was pulling it. Without thinking he tied the rope around Twilight then pulled himself along the length of the rope edging his way to the cave. After what seemed like an eternity he made it into the cave.

"Oh thank Celestia yer ok. Where's Twilight?" AJ said welcoming the young dragon into the cave.

"APPLEJACK!" He yelled rushing up to her giving her a hug.

"Ow careful there partner, mah legs hurt." She said lifting it to avoid any weight being put on it.

"I'm sorry, but we need to get Twilight in here, she's hurt to. We'll need to drag her in." He said as he picked up the rope and tugged.

"Here Spike, Tie the rope teh me an'push. We can pull her inteh the cave."

After a few moment AJ and Spike were slowly dragging the unconscious unicorn toward the cave. After a few minutes they had managed to pull Twilight into the cave. She was still out cold and covered in dirt and leaves from outside, Her left side was scratched and bruised from the drag, and her head was bleeding badly. AJ gave Twilight a gentle nudge trying to wake her and was greeted with a soft groan.

"Oh thank Celestia she's still alive." AJ smiled laying down beside the purple pony, trying to keep her warm. The three friends sat quietly, huddled together inside the cave, waiting to see when the storm would stop, and help could be reached.
