The ponies had made it back to the tree house. Almost immediately, Twilight woke Spike, to have him send a letter to Princess Celestia. The ponies were actually waiting for her right now. "What do you think the princess is going to do?"

"Probably banish the thing."

"Rainbow!" The said pony, just raised her hooves.

"I want to know where the thing came from?" Applejack asked.

"Oh Oh. Maybe it came from the shadows! Or was like." The ponies mouths dropped open in shock when they saw Pinkie wearing a some sort of costume that made her look like a ninja, with glowing eyes. "Get over here!" The ponies shook their heads, to see her without the outfit.

"I blame Discord!" Rainbow shouted.

"Rainbow, he's reformed remember?" Twilight asked.

"Yes, and he's good." Fluttershy spoke. "Most of the time."

"Well, let's hope the Princess knows what to do."

"I wonder where the cutie mark crusaders are?" Pinkie asked randomly, causing everypony to look at her.

"You sure, we should go doing this again?" Sweetie asked.

The three fillies were trying to zip line again, only they were doing it higher this time. "I'm sure, it work this time!" Scootaloo shouted excitedly, while the other two looked nervously. "I have a bad feeling about this." Applebloom spoke, while Scootallo jumped pulling the other two, with her.

The three screamed as they gained speed. "I change my mind!" Scootaloo shouted as they headed towards a tree, smacking it, causing them to fall as the ropes broke. The three yelled, as they fell and slammed into the ground. The three were tangled together. "Did we get our them?" Scootaloo picked her head up, only to slam it back down groaning. "No."

The three saw shadows covering them. The three looked up to see diamond dog. "Take them." The three watched with wide eyes as the dog's reached down towards them. "HELP!"

"Applebloom/Sweetie Belle/ Scootaloo!" The ponies were shouting as they looked for the three. "You don't think that thing got them, do you?" Rarirty asked with worry.

"I doubt that thing, would come during daytime." Applejack said.

"Says the one, who was being hold by it." Rainbow taunted, causing Applejack to blush. "Shut yer mouth!"

"Girls, this is not the time!" Twilight shouted causing them to stare at her.

"Yea, besides! Look at all this rope!" Pinkie shouted, with rope wrapped around her.

"Where did ya get that from?"

"Over there." Pinkie pointed, as she continued to wrap it around herself.

The ponies saw, three helmets. Rainbow flew over picking one up. "This Scoots."

"Were they at then?" Rarity asked. Twilight stared at the scene with narrowed eyes. "That does it! I am going to find that thing, and kick it's flank!" Rainbow yelled as she landed. "I'm going to help you!" Applejack shouted.

"mmmmdph." Pinkie shouted, wrapped in ropes. "Darling, how on equestria do  you do this?" Before anypony moved there was a loud movement. The girl's looked to see a diamond dog head sticking out of the ground. The girls jumped into stance's, including Pinkie who was free. Fluttershy stood behind the group.

"What do you want?"

The dog growled. "Bring us, the thing that stalks."

"Oh yea. What if we don't?" Rainbow asked, causing the dog to pull out a pink bow, and tossed it to them.

"That's ma sister's bow!" Applejack yelled as she jumped at the dog, who simply ducked into the hole, causing her to go over. The dog appeared twenty yards away from the group. "Bring us it, by where white pony got gems. Otherwise, we kill them!"

The girl's eyes widen. "You can't! They are just children!"

"Yer lay one hoof, or whatever you call that, I will.." The dog cut her off with a snarl.

"You do what? Nothing! Ponies have one hour!" Before anypony could say anything, the dog jumped back into it's hole.

"Come on! We don't have much time!" Twilight shouted.

Hanzo sat in a tree staring at Timberwolve's. He watched as the young pups were growling, attacking one another playfully. The mother and father sat off to the side watching. He watched as the two parent's nuzzled each other. The two pups quickly ran over, attacking their parent's. The parent's gave looks that said 'Really?' They simply grabbed them, pulling them to the ground. They nuzzled them.

Hanzo, who had enough watching stood up and began jumping from tree to tree. "Mister thing!" Hanzo stopped in one, staring in the direction of the voice. "We need you help!" Hanzo headed in the direction, and landed in one tree to stare down at the six.

"Please we need your help!" Applejack shouted.

"Come out, or I will kick your flank!"

"Dash, we need it's help!" Twilight shouted.

"Um..please come out. We won't hurt you." Hanzo still didn't move from his spot. Hanzo saw they were in distress. He even saw the Pinkie mane that was usually puffy, was deflated.

"Please! The diamond dog's took our sister's!" Hanzo watched as they continued to beg for him to come out.

"Please."

"We better go."

"NO!" Applejack shouted, and ran towards a tree kicking it. Luckly, Hanzo was in another tree, or he might have fell out. "You saved ma life! You saved My sister and her friend's life! Why won't you help again?!" Hanzo watched as the proud pony had tears pulling out of her eyes. "Please....she's my sister." Applejack felt two hooves on her shoulder's and turned looking see Rainbow, and Rairty, with tears in their eyes.

Hanzo watched as , the rest of them walk forward. He watched as Twilight open her mouth and sing, with the others joning in.

Listen to 2:25.

The girl's stare at each other, before turning to walk away. Before they took two steps, Hanzo jumped from a tree landed crouched down, causing them to back up. Hanzo stood up staring at them, before beckoning with his head, causing the the ponies to smile.

The Cutie Mark Crusader's were tied together, with the dogs surrounding them. There was twenty of them.

"Let us go!" Scootaloo shouted.

"Shut it!"

"Our sister's won't let you get away with this." One dog growled, and turned to what was the alpha. "Can't we just kill them?" The dog looked at them, then smiled cruelly. "Sure. It be fun to see the ponies, who helped that thing kill my brother scream in agony at seeing them dead."

The three fillies eye's widen with fear, as two dogs stepped forward with sword's. "Please let us go!"

The dog's didn't listen, but instead raised their weapons. "APPLEBLOOM/SWEETIE BELLE/SCOOTS!"

Everyone looked over to see the six, ponies, along with a thing that stood on two legs. "SISTER/RAINBOW DASH!" The leader smiled. "Good, you brought it with you. NOW YOU CAN ALL DIE!" The two dog's swung their weapons, but stopped grunting in pain, as two kunai embedded into their neck, causing them to choke on their, as they fell over dead.

The dog's watched Hanzo threw the knifes. They aslo watched as he rushed towards them, drawing his sword out, while the six ran over to  the the fillies. "KILL IT!" The rest of the dogs rushed at Hanzo, except for the leader who watched. As Hanzo rushed, he ducked to the side bringing his sword up, slicing through one dog neck, then spun slicing another one.

The ponies watched as he went through them, like butter. Hanzo would parry or dodge, to slash down another dog. Hanzo stared at the last one, who was backing up in fear. The leader was growling at Hanzo. The other dog stepped back, only to gasp in pain, as a sword wis stabbed through his back, by the leader who muttered. "Coward." Then walked, pulling his sword out.

"That backstabbing.." Rainbow growled out, while hugging Scootaloo.

The lead dog rushed at Hanzo, swinging his weapon, which Hanzo blocked, then swung back. The two traded blows for awhile. Hanzo swung missing, letting the dog to swing at his back, which Hanzo blocked by brining his sword across his back. When he deflected it, he grabbed his sword in a reverse grip, swinging it. There was a slice, followed by a scream. The dog left paw fell to the ground, clutching it.

Hanzo sheathed his sword, staring at the dog who whimpered. "Please don't kill me!" The dog backed away in fear. Hanzo stared at him, then turned and began to walk away. The dog smiled, then pulled out a dagger.

"Watch out!" Hanzo turned and threw his Shéng biāo impaling the dog arm. The ponies eyes widen in fear at what happened next. They quickly turned the fillies around, so they wouldn't see it.

Hanzo stared down at body and turned, only to be grabbed into a hug, by the three fillies. Hanzo stared down at them. "Thanks for saving us."

Yay! Group Hug!" Pinkie shouted as she pulled them into a hug. Hanzo stared at them, before shrugging them off, and threw a smoke bomb to the ground, causing all the ponies to cough.

"Why did he do that?"

When the smoke cleared, they saw he was gone. "Why does he hide?"

"I don't know but...." Twilight smiled. "I think we can bring him, out of that." Twilight spoke causing, the ponies to smile.

"We will to!"

"Maybe we, can get our Cutie marks for being....Friend Cutie Mark Crusaders!" The ponies laughed. Twilight looked out of the corner of her eye, to see Hanzo, staring at her before jumping into a tree. Twilight just smiled again.

"Twilight?" She turned to see her friend looking at her. "I'm fine girl's. Just thought I saw something."

"Was it him again?' Scootaloo asked excitedly. Twilight chuckled. "You could say.....I saw a shadow."
