CHAPTER 6

silver panted behind me as we ran back to the Haypire State Building. she is not used to galloping like i am so she got very tired. I wantd to carry her but I couldnt carry her and the largia stone and talk at the same time so i tried not to run too fast.

"silver we are taking a shortcut" I said. "stay close on my tail!"

I ran out into the street. their were no cars because the Equestria doesn't have any but lots of carts were running along the road just as fast as cars so it was very dangerous.

"diamon this is very dangerous!" said silver panicking. "well get run over!"

"hush!" I amonished. "stay close!"

I doved for a marehole cover in the middle of the road and lifted it up. "silver spoon follow me!" I said, jumping down the hole.

"diamond!" she screamed. The traffic was coming right for her!

"SILVER!" I scremed. "Silver, jump!"

A huge cart nearly hit her but she jumped in after me just in time! I breathed a sih of releif.

"th-th-th-th-th-that was so scary!" she cried.

"you were very brave" I said to her. "with training you could make a ecellent spy silver spoon"

she sniffed and cheered up as I complimented her. "you really think so?"

i didnt relly think so but I didnt tell her. sometimes I hve to lie as part of being a spy. "YES" I said. "now lets go. we have to go through the sewers to get to the Haypire State Building"

We trod quietly through the sewers of manehattan. The walls gristled with wetness and smell of things i dont want to talk about.

"I heard there are aligators down here" said Silver Spoon, who was staying close on my butt like i had asked her. "people flush them into the swers and then they grow enormous"

"oh silver that is just an urban hoofend" I told her. "there are no aligators down here. believe me i know!"

"what about crocodiles" she asked?

"there are no crocodiles either" I said

"what about lizards"

I stopped and grabbed her. "silver you are panicking you need to stay clam" i told her roughly. i sighed to myself. maybe this was a bad idea after all. i never wanted to put her in danger like this.

silver wiped a tear from her eyes "im sorry diamond im trying"

"I know but i need you to be stong for me okay" I said hugging her.

"OH MY LUNA WHAT IS THAT" she screemed. I turned around and saw a HUGE rat blocking our path!

"It is an Underrat" I said. "They live in the sewers. Silver stay behind me okay I will protect you"

Silver screamed again. "OH MY CELESTIA THERE IS ANOTHER ONE BEHIND US" she said. I turned around and it was true. We were SURROUNDED!

"Silver Spoon stay calm!" I ordered.

"dIAMOND tIARA yOU dO nOT bELONG hERE" said the first rat. "wE tOLD yOU tO lEAVE aND nEVER cOME bACK"

"It is a EMERGENCY" I said. "The leader of my cable has been kidnapped. I am sorry but I had no choice"

"wE dO nOT cARE aBOUT yOUR lEADER" said the rat. "yOU hAVE tRESPASSED fOR tHE lAST tIME dIAMOND tAIRA. nOW wE wILL eAT bOTH oF yOU!"

"NOOOOOOO" silver spoon screamed. "PLEASE DON'T EAT ME!!!"

"Don't make me fight you!" I said fiercely but secretly I was pooping myself. The Underrats have a poisonous bite that paralyses you so that they can eat you while your still awake and its the most horrible thing ever"

"aHAHAHAHA" said the rats. They werent scared! We were going to die!

"DIAMOND HAS THE LARINGIA STONE!" Silver spoon screamed.

The rats stopped!

"wHAT dID yOU sAY" the rat said.

"silver no!" I shouted.

"Diamond Tiara is carrying the Laringia Stone" Silver said again. "the most powerful stone in the universe"

"yOU aRE lYING"

I gasped. This isnt what was supposeds to happen!

"eAT hER" said the rat.

"No!" I said. "Its true!"

"pROVE iT" said the rat

I pulled the laringia stone from my saddle bag and held it up. It glimmerated the sewer with purple light

The rats gasped. "iT iS tRUE! tHAT iS tHE lARINGIA sTONE. hOW dID yOU gET tHIS"

"Theres no time to explain" I said. "We are on a very important mission"

"wE aRE sORRY wE dISTRACTED yOU dIAMOND tIARA" said the rat. "pLEASE cONTINUE oN yOUR mISSION"

The Underrats stepped aside and we ran past.

"that was good thinking silver spoon" I said. "but do not tell anyone else the stone must be kept a secret"

"im sorry diamond" apologized silver spoon. "I couldnt think of what to do"

"well you saved both our lives" I said, hugging her as we splashed through the sewage. "okay we are nearly there. This tunnel comes out at the top of the haypire state building."

"but what is your plan?" silver asked.

I smiled. "sorry silver spoon. its a secret. I am a spy after all."
