Cadance and Shining Armor entered the Eclipse Hotel and made their way towards the front desk, where Daisy was waiting.

“What happened?” Asked the white mare. “Is Kyra okay?”

Cadance let out a sigh and nodded. “Well, she’s... in the hospital, but... we heard she should be healed up rather quickly.”

Daisy slumped into her chair. “Oh... I shouldn’t have said anything...”

“If you hadn’t,” Shining spoke up. “we wouldn’t have known about this threat. Not only did you warn us, but Kyra got enough of a description from her encounter for Twilight to figure it out.”

“Sounds like you helped a lot,” Cadance cooed, smiling at the white mare.

Daisy smiled back. “Thank you... But, that crazy mare or her girlfriend haven’t shown back up yet.”

Cadance sighed and nodded, pulling out her phone. “I’ll call Twilight. We should still stay in case she shows up.”

Twilight skidded around a corner before answering her phone. “Yeah? Shit, okay... Yeah, wait there for now. We’ll check out her company instead...”

“Change of plans?” Midnight asked as Twilight put her phone away.

“Tresemmé isn’t at the Eclipse,” The unicorn sighed, before pulling an illegal u-turn and cutting off a couple cars. “We’ll rendezvous with our team at Sylk.”

Pinkamena then spoke up from the back seat. “You know... She could be anywhere. Why does she have to go back to these locations?”

“Just covering all our bases,” Midnight replied with a smile as she looked over her shoulder at the pink mare.

Pinks gave a single nod but still didn’t look convinced. “And, if we don’t find her?”

Midnight shrugged. “Then, we keep looking. And we won’t stop until we find her. I’m really liking my new family and I’ll do whatever I can to protect it.”

Twilight eyed her when she heard that, before looking at the road again. “We’re almost there...”

Tresemmé and Sunny were parked a couple blocks away from the Eclipse Hotel, Sunny at the wheel. “I told you they’d show up.”

“But, where’s the purple one?” Tress asked as she leaned forward. “I want Twilight...”

Sunny thought for a moment. “If they’re here then they know who you are. Which means...”

“They could also be at my company,” Tress finished.

Both mares eyed each other before Sunny slammed on the gas and sped off.

Dash parked the car and both she and Blood Rain left the front while Sundowner and Sky climbed out of the back. “You three ready?” Dash asked.

“I was born ready,” Blood Rain cooed as she clenched her hands into fists.

“I believe I am,” the stallion said with a smile.

Rainbow looked at Sky, who seemed a little nervous. “You okay?” She asked.

Sky gave a hesitant nod. “Of course... It’s just... this mare we’re after... took out Kyra. Isn’t she one of the best fighters on the team?”

Rainbow Dash sighed and nodded. “True... But Kyra was alone and caught off guard. Right now, there are more of us.”

The doors to the car behind Dash’s opened and out stepped Trixie and Lightning Dust from the back and Gilda from the front.

“I still don’t see why we didn’t bring Sunset along,” Gilda said as she closed the car door.

“Trixie has all the magic you need,” the blue unicorn said triumphantly.

The griffin eyed her before looking at Rainbow Dash. “Seriously... Why?”

“Trixie’s magic is getting better,” the pegasus replied with a chuckle. “Besides, we needed a powerful unicorn to help Celestia and Luna guard the hotel while Cadance and Shining Armor are away.” She then looked at Sky. “Stay near Trixie if you’re not feeling up to it.”

“Oh, already getting my first escort mission?” Trixie asked, sounding honored. “Trixie shall do her best!”

Sky eyed her before she quickly looked at Rainbow again. “Are you serious?”

“You’ll be fine,” Dash cooed with a smile, patting the pegasus’ back. “You're a good fighter, Sky. If we all stick together, then we’ll be fine.”

“Worry not,” Trixie cooed, stepping up to Sky and putting her arm around her. “You are under Trixie’s protection now. No harm shall come to you for I have been assigned many escort missions back in my old gang. I got your back.”

“Firstly, I’m just concerned with this crazy mare we’re up against,” Sky pointed out. “Secondly, the very nature of it being an escort mission means you should be in front, instead of watching my back.”

Trixie smiled lightly and rubbed the back of her neck. “Yeah... I’m just...”

Sky smiled back and nodded. “I appreciate the support.”

Gilda walked up to Dash as she looked around. “So, what’re we doing?”

“Waiting,” Rainbow answered with a sigh. “Though, I’d prefer to just barge in there and start shooting.”

Gilda let out a chuckle at that. “I didn’t peg you for the shoot-first-ask-later-type.”

The pegasus shook her head and crossed her arms. “It isn’t that. It’s just I... am getting really bored just standing here. But... orders are orders...”

Back at the hotel, Sunset stood out in front of the building, looking both ways for any signs of intrusion. Pulling out her phone, she called Celestia. “In position?” She asked.

“Yes,” replied the white alicorn. “Remember that spell I gave you?”

Sunset nodded, as if the other mare could see. “Yeah. Yeah, I got it. Now, let me get Luna on the line so we can begin.” The orange mare then dialed Luna’s number, adding her to the call. “Luna?” She asked. “You ready?”

"As ready as I'll ever be, Sunset Shimmer," the blue mare replied.

"Alright, then," the orange unicorn sighed. "Let's cast this thing." Hanging up the phone, she lit her horn up. After gathering a bunch of her orange magic in her right hand, she shot a beam upwards into the sky. As she did, she saw a yellow beam and a blue beam from the two sisters. Once they were high enough, they curved and met each other above the hotel. The beams then spread to form a magic shield around the hotel. Letting out a deep sigh, Sunset lowered her hand. "There. Nothing's happening to the hotel this time."

Inside, Fluttershy looked out the window in her room to see the shield go up. From her room, she had a great view of the back of the hotel. When she feels a hand on her right shoulder, she looks over to see Chrysalis standing beside her. "I wish I could be out there helping."

"I know," the changeling said with a light smile. "Well... I'm gonna go see if they need help with anything."

Fluttershy gave her a smile before the changeling walked away. When the pegasus returned her gaze to the window, she spotted something familiar at the edge of the shield. In the alley behind the hotel was a stack of boxes. Beside the boxes was a white bunny. Squinting her eyes, Fluttershy let out a gasp, eyes going wide. "Angel? Hold on! Mommy's coming!"

Rushing from the window, she left her room and bee-lined it to the elevator. Looking around, it appeared Chrysalis was already gone. Not wanting to wait, she hopped in the elevator and rode it to the first floor. When the doors opened, she circled around to the back hall and left through the back door. Running up to the edge of the shield where Angel was, she dropped to her knees with a wide smile.

"Hey, Angel," she said, wiping tears from her eyes. "I-I thought I lost you." The bunny started squeaking frantically and waving his arms. "I-Is something wrong?" She asked, concern in her voice as she reached out to pick up her pet. She had to reach out up to her elbows in order to be able to grab the bunny. When she tried picking him up, she noticed a rope around his hind paw. "Huh? What--"

She was cut off when a green tentacle wrapped around the mare's wrist and pulled her into the alley. A purple mare then stepped out from behind the boxes and sighed contently. "I believe he was saying... It's a trap..." she coos evilly.

Sunny then stepped out of the alley, coming into the light of the hotel. "I told you she'd jump at the first chance to get her pet back."

Tressemé threw Fluttershy into Sunny, who wrapped her arms around the pegasus. "Hold onto this for me," she said, before pulling a piece of paper out of her pocket. She then knelt down and held the paper out to Angel. "Mind delivering a message?" She asked gently, a disturbingly calm smile on her face. Angel squeaked once before quickly snatching the paper. Tresemmé smiled and untied the rope before standing up. "Good. Now, hop away, little bunny."

Angel looked up at her before looking over at the pegasus, fear on his face. "It's okay, Angel," Flutterhy calls with a smile. "I'll be fi--" She got cut off when Sunny delivers a hard punch to her back, making her scream in pain.

"Not, if the vermin doesn't deliver the message," the yellow mare growls.

"Calm yourself, dear," the purple mare coos, before looking down at Angel. "He seems like an intelligent bunny... You'll deliver it, right?"

Angel quickly nods and begins hopping away. Getting behind the safety of the shield, he looked back to take one last look at his owner, who gave him a smile. He then turned and began hopping towards the hotel, trying to find help.

Watching him leave, Tresemmé chuckled and turned to Sunny. "Mmm... How's our own bunny doing?"

"I got her secured," Sunny grunted, tightening her hold.

The purple mare began making her way towards them. "I don't think you need to hold her so tight," she said calmly, stepping up to them. "I don't think she'll try to run, right?" Fluttershy shook her head in response. "Good... Let go of her, Sunny. She seems like a smart one."

The yellow mare hesitated before slowly letting go. "If you say so..."

Tresemmé smiled and placed her hands on Fluttershy's hips, making the pegasus shudder with a blush. "You are going to... follow Sunny to the car. Okay?"

Fluttershy nodded and maintained eye contact. "Okay..."

Sunny eyed them before taking Fluttershy's arm. "Come on, bitch," she growled, pulling the mare away.

"Gentle, sweetie," Tresemmé cooed. "I want this one intact." As she followed the two towards their car, she eyed the pegasus' butt. "I may want to keep this one..."

Chrysalis stood beside Sunset as they monitored the front of the hotel.

"How's Fluttershy doing?" The unicorn asked casually.

Chrysalis smiled and sighed happily. "She's good. We're good. She just wishes she could help out more."

"Well, maybe Applejack or Rainbow Dash can give her fighting lessons," Sunset replied with a smile. "Congrats on the wedding, by the way. Not sure if I told you that yet..."

"You didn't, but... there are more important things to worry about now." The changeling then smiled and looked at the unicorn. "What about you and that... Red Shade?"

Sunset eyed her with a light smile. "Well, he still missed his ex, so... we broke up on good terms and he went back to her. Can't blame him, though. She's this really hot bat mare with a dick. The two perform at the Wet Mare."

"Huh..." Chrysalis muttered. "Have you gone to watch them?"

Sunset blushed lightly. "U-Uh... Maybe?" The two let out soft laughs before they heard light squeaking. Looking to their left, they saw Angel hopping towards them. "Is that..." the unicorn began asking.

"Angel?" Chrysalis gasped, rushing over to him and kneeling down. "Y... You're alive? Fluttershy will be so--" She was cut off when the bunny gently hit her forehead with a rolled up piece of paper. "What?" She asked, taking the paper and unrolling it. "A note?"

"A note?" Sunset asked, walking over to them. "What's it say?"

Chrysalis read it as her expression went from worry to extremely pissed off. "That fucking bitch has Fluttershy!"

"What?!" Sunset gasped. "Who? The one we're on alert for?" Watching the changeling stand up, she took a step closer. "Are you going after her?"

"I can't," Chrysalis growled, holding out the note. "She wants Twilight. Anyone else makes an attempt... and she'll kill her."

Sunset took the note and read it. "W... W-We need to get a hold of--" Before she could finish her sentence, Chrysalis already had her phone to her ear.

"Twilight!" She exclaimed. "That bitch you're looking for has Fluttershy! She wants you and you alone."

Twilight hung up her phone and let out a deep sigh, putting her phone away. After staying silent for a couple seconds, she slammed the steering wheel. "Fuck!"

"What happened?" Midnight asked, the pink mare in the backseat also on alert now.

"Tresemmé has Fluttershy," Twi said as she sped up. "And, she wants me to come fight for her."
