Meanwhile back at the hospital in Equestria. A royal guard came running as fast he could to the room where Princess Celestia and Luna were. “Princess it’s moving.” He told them both. They got out of bed and made their way to the window. Seeing the golden ball was moving away from the town.

“Sister where do think its heading?” Luna asks her sister. “I don’t know?” Celestia told her sister.

“Guard go and follow it to where it going and what kind of dangers it about to release on this world.” Celestia told him. “I shall not fail you, princess.” The guard said them given a kneeling at them. The guard takes off out of the hospital and out of town to follow where that golden ball is heading. Past the Everfree forest going past Dodge City, into another forest. Then into a swamp then it stops. The guard tried to keep up with it was out of breath when it stops.

“Why it would it come all the way out here?” He said out loud. The golden ball begins to spin and glowing out came out another symbol different than the one before. This time it was glowing green in the darken clouded up ski. A beam came from came from it, hitting the ground. After it hit the ground, things starting to grow and change the bugs became bigger. A lot bigger than anything that he or anypony else have ever seen. Vines around him starting moving around like snakes. The bugs take off to a nearby town of Baltimare. The vines followed them to the city.

At the town, things have like they are on any other day of the week for them. They didn’t get scared by the dark storm clouds thinking it was the rainbow factory in cloudsdale was working overtime. Derpy Hooves was on vacation her daughter Dinky. In the distance, something made a terrifying sound that made them and every pony jump. Dinky look over to see what made that noise and sees a giant mosquito landing near her and her mother. Making every pony run for their lives. Derpy grabs Dinky and running for a nearby building. She came running through the doors see others were here. “Did you see them?” Some pony asks them. “The bugs?” Dinky answer him “No, the vines.” After he said that a vine came from behind got a hold of one of his hind legs and dragging him away

“No, no, no, AAAAAA.” Every pony when to a nearby window to see what’s going on. The vine drags that pony out in the open, throwing him back on groundbreaking him back kegs. He tried to get up craw to safety a giant mosquito land on top of him and pull diving into his back sucking out all of his blood. The sack in the back got bigger from sucking out his blood. Derpy cover Dinky eyes from watching what was going on outside. Another pony was outside trying to running through the streets trying to find some cover. Another one of those huge mosquitos came down like a bird landing on its prey. The pony screams out in pain from being grabbed and taken to the air. A unicorn mare was trying to fight off a mosquito with her magic. Some vines came from behind grabbing her legs and taking her to the mosquito has trying to fight with. The mosquito takes her and drains her of all of her blood. After the mosquito has done with her. The vines drop her body hitting the ground.

Meanwhile back in Ponyville the guard came back running to the hospital to tell the princess on what has happened him and the town of Baltimare. “I have an urgent message for the princesses!” He told the nurse that the front desk. “Sir, are you alright?” She asks him. “No time!” He told her before running to their room. He came through the door nearly out of breath.

“Princesses Baltimare as falling. Ponies trap in the city with no way out.” He told them before collapsing on the floor. The nurses nearby came to see if he was alright. One of them put a hove to the side of his neck for a pulse. There was nothing.

“He is dead.” Nurse Red Heart said out loud. There was something on his was something on underneath his body some bite mark way to big. For something of this world.

“It looks like a mosquito bite it just way too big for it.” Nurse Red Heart said out loud. “What do you mean?” A nearby nurse asked her. The bite some nearly a foot long in diameter and red as an apple. “I mean a giant mosquito did is. He had very little blood in him when he came in running out of breath. Before killing over.” She told every pony in that room. A body bag came in to take him away. After the body has been dealt with. Celestia got up and remove her bandages she got out and trying to move down the hallway keep herself up. Nurse Red Heart was there by her side if she needs help.

“Princess, you are not fully recovered from injuries from that fall yesterday.” She told her. “My ponies need me in these dark times.” Celestia said out load leaning next to the wall breathing hard. Seeing something she would never suspected.

“Queen Chrysalis? What in the name of Equestria are you here?” Celestia asks her before falling to the floor. “Trust me we are in the same boat here.” She told her rival. “What do you mean?” She asks her. “Whatever is going on in that swamp and that town that guard told you and your sister? Is also affected me as well.” Chrysalis told her.

“Sister, are you alright there?” Luna asks walking down the hallway. “You, why are you here?” She told Chrysalis looking cross. “Sister she’s here to help us in these dark times.” Celestia told her sister getting off the ground with the help of Nurse Red Heart. “What, after what she did in the past.” Luna told her sister. “You really do hold a grudge.” Chrysalis said out loud.
“Why would I after what you do back at Canterlot.” Luna told her looking angry about her remark.

“That is enough!” Celestia told both of them. “This golden ball is tearing apart Baltimare and treating the people there. I need the both of you to settle this grudge match and get the people out of there.” She told them getting back on her hooves.

“It looks like we are working together on this one with your sister the way she is.” Chrysalis said to Luna. “Just don’t do anything you will regret later.” Luna told her with a still angry look on her face. They take off to the exit and toke to the air. Both of them were flying as fast as can could to Baltimare. Celestia when back to her room to get some much-needed rest after trying to leave.

Back in Baltimare, it was a madhouse over there. Derpy and her daughter Dinky is in a shop in the middle of town with others ponies hiding there from what going on outside. “Mom, I’m scared.” She told her mother. “I know you are. I’m scared too.” She said to her daughter trying to calm her down, keeping her close and putting her left wing around her and her hove on top of her top of her head. Some of the others trying to calm about as what to them and their town.

“I can’t take it, anymore!” One of the side before taking off out of the shop and just like before a giant mosquito was a building nearby the shop. The creature saw him, it roars and came down on him taking him to the air. “I have had enough of you!” He said at the top of its lungs at the creature that has a hold of him. Punching, kicking it even trying his magic on it. The creature lets go of him dropping him on top of a building where the mosquito was at. It lands on top of him taking its nose and lead back dive right in on his chest, beginning to suck out all of his blood. He was screaming during the whole time until he was drain. The ponies hear him screaming while he was being drained of his blood.

“Is it over?” One of them asks. A second later the door was being banged on with a roar of one of those giant bloodsuckers. The door was blocked off from them getting in. The banging kelp going for a matter of moments. Until t give up and fly’s away.

“Is it over?” Asks Dinky, to her mother. “I think that it is.” Derpy told her. “What are we going to do when they brake though?” She thought to herself shedding a tear.

Luna and Chrysalis made their way to way the outskirts of the city see it turn into a swamp. “Oh, my, Equestria.” Chrysalis said out loud looking stock then as ever. “There are a lot of ponies in there that need to get out.” Luna told her. They land in the middle of city which is now a whole swamp. Something made a roar nearby them before it attacks Luna trying to suck her blood. “LUNA!” Chrysalis said out loud. Making her horn glow and attack the creature that was on Luna, killing it plopping next to Luna. Clawing away from the beast that nearly killed her. “Thanks.” She told her. Before looking stock at her and told her. “Don’t turn around.”

“Why?” Chrysalis asks her. Turns around to see a group of vines made into a body of its every own. It was bigger then both of them compiled. It roars and came running to them. They dodge out if its path, hitting a wall of a building. “This thing is not too bright.” Chrysalis told Luna. Both of them herd somepony shouting at them.

“You two get in here!” They look and see a male unicorn with a white clot and a blue mane. They got up from the ground and ran to him. The beast that hit the wall turns around and gives chase after them. Just as soon they threw the door that was being held open the white unicorn. He closes the door after they when through the door. “Thank you for helping us in our hour of need.” Luna said to him trying to catch both of their breath. He locks up the door and told both of them.
“Follow me.” They made they we threw the building to a shop, seeing others trying to find a way out of the city.

“Princess Luna.” Said Dinky, making Derpy look up at Luna her eyes were red from the lack of sleep. Both Luna and Chrysalis kelp following the pony that saves them from the creature that attacks them.

“What are you doing here?” He asks them. “We do see what going on here and see what does get out.” Luna told him.

“Is this all that is left of the town?” Chrysalis asks him. “Yes, I do believe. Every pony else is most likely dead from being attack and suck from those giant mosquitoes that are out there.” He told them.

“I know I was attacked by one of them.” Luna told him. “They must be very being getting hungrier out there.” He told Luna.
“What about the train into the city?” Luna asks him.

“I don’t know if the station is working order. We need to send some pony to find out if that is possible” He said out loud.
“I’ll go.” Luna told him. “Are you sure? After what as happen to you?” He asks “If it’s the only way to get very pony out of the city.” She told him. Making her way to the barricaded doorway to the outside.

“Wait, There no idea what out there?” Chrysalis told Luna lifting a few things that made up the barricaded doorway.
“Let me come with you?” Chrysalis asks her. “No. The others need to find a safe way to the station.” She told her.
“Well, if you put like that it would be a good a point there.” Chrysalis told Luna. Moving the last of the objects of the barricaded and opening the door walking to the outside. Opening her wings and takes off to the air.

Chrysalis made her back to the pony that saves both of them from whatever that thing was. Some of the ponies put the objects back to rebuild the barricaded. When she made her back to him he was pulling out a map of the city. “Here we are and here is the train station.” He told her pointing at the map with his hove. “With the dangers that inside the city will be very difficult to get to the station without running into these things that are out there.” He told her. “Are you sure, that there is a safe way to get to the station?” She asks him. “I think there is a safe way, but you will not like it.” He told her pulling another map from a draw. “Is that the sewer system?” She asks him. “I told you will not like it.” He told her. “If that is the only way then there is no other option.” Chrysalis told him looking down on the map of the sewers and the map of the surface level. “It’s best to tell the others.” He told her walking to the room where every other pony is hiding from the outside.

“Everypony listen to me.” He said out loud jumping on a chair. “There is way to get out the city it not be easy if you don’t like is plan its the only plan we got!” He told them. “What is the plan?!” Some pony said out loud. “We have to get to the train station by going through the sewer system!” He told them which made every pony shouting that him and scared out of their minds. He put his hove up in the air to quit every pony. “Let me explain, there is no other way with costing us lives getting to the station!” Derpy and her daughter Dinky listen over the was the plan of going through the sewers to get to the train station.

Luna is flying through the city trying to get to the train station. Which it was at on the edge of the city. The vines covering the buildings and releasing a green fog threw the city that makes them feel like a ghost town. “This is unbelievable.” Luna thought to herself. She looks over her shoulder seeing what has happened to the city and the ponies that used to live here. Now it the city is now a huge swamp. She kelp moving on to the train stations. The train station was cover with vines like the rest of the city. It wasn’t as bad as the rest of the city. The train lines weren’t covered with vines and the moss. Luna went inside to see if there a spare train and a few passager carts for every pony that making their way to the station. She found a steam train was nearby and a few carts forget every pony out of the city. She uses her magic to move the carts to the train.

After a few hours of moving them and getting everything hook up and ready to go. She went to a nearby pay phone and put a few bits in it and deli the number to the shop. The phone rang a few times and some pony picks up on the other end of the line. “Hello, how I can help you?” Some pony told her over the line. “I need to talk to the pony that saves me and Chrysalis.” She asks the pony on the line. “Luna, you are talking to him.” He told her. “Good, the train is ready and waiting. You can make your way through the sewers to get here I will be here waiting on you.” She told him. “We are on our way.” He told her before hanging up the phone. Chrysalis was there hearing the conversation.

“I’m guessing she did found a spare train at the station.” She said to him looking with joy in her eyes. “Well best to for us to take the map with us so we won't get lost.” He told her. The barricaded that was in front of the doorway was taking down. Some of them open a lead on the sidewalk to the sewer system. It was quite a little too quiet. The mosquito that was around was gone hunting elsewhere in the city.

“Move it.” Somepony said to the others in the shop and nearby buildings that were used to hiding out from what was going on the outside. Derpy was covering Dinky with her wing. Once every pony is inside they close the doors they use to get access to sewer system. Every pony made their way through the sewers without getting lost thanks to the map. The smell was like a bunch of rotten eggs. They use flashlights that were in the shop to give them some light. Things were going well for them the vines that cover the city buildings and the streets.

“How are doing?” Chrysalis asks him. “Only a few more miles.” He told her. After a few more hours going through the sewers, they made to the train station access point. Luna is at the access point and opens it up. Seeing every pony is alright and safe.

“Everypony gets on the train.” He told them. Everypony climb into the train. As soon every pony is load into the train.

“Who’s going to drive?” Asks Luna. A couple ponies came out and they said. “We’ll do it.” They made it to the engine to get things going. After a few minutes, the train begins to move out of the station. Derpy looks out the window and thinks to herself “Soon we will be home.”

Here is the 17^th Chapter in the story so far. This is one of more dark chapters in the story. It will not be the first.
