The next day, White Wing looked out into the battlefield where the first battle took place. It was then the two of them saw something moving in the distance. "Hey, what's that?" asked White Wing. "It can't be." The dragon prince spread his wings and flew out into the field where he came across a battered dragon; missing an arm and a leg. "G-Golden Fang?!"

"D-Damn p-ponies." he struggled to say. "J-J-Just w-wait......until I-I heal up. I'll t-tear......t-them a-part."

"Hold on, I got'cha." said the prince as he proceeded to bring him back to the kingdom.

"T-THIS ISN'T OVER, YA HEAR ME!" Golden Fang yelled. "N-N-NOT B-BY A LONG SHOT!"

****************************

Scourge stood in the middle of the training ground wielding a training stick that he soon use to attack a dummy. On the outside it looked as though he was training, but in actuality, he was unleashing all of his anger and frustrations. Just thinking about Amethyst caused him to strike the dummy that much harder. It wasn't long before he broke it and the stick in half. "She used me." he said.

"That she did." came a voice. Scourge turned around and saw Dragonius standing with his arms crossed. "She tends to do that alot."

"P-Prince Dragonius! What are you doing here?" he asked; surprised to see him.

"I came to see how you were doing." he answered. "And judging by that dummy over there, i'd say, not very good." Scourge lowered his head as the prince continued. "I also came here to offer you another position; one away from Amethyst." Scourge rose his head to look at the prince. "I want you to be the personal guard of my sister."

"Your sister?" Scourge asked. "You mean, Princess........."

"Trust me, she's nothing like Amethyst." he said. "I believe the two of you will get along just fine."

"So.....what will happen to Princess Amethyst?" Scourge asked.

"Don't worry about her." Dragonius answered. "Right now, you should get yourself ready. Your assignment starts now."

****************************

Celestia, Luna, and Blueblood returned to Canterlot with a warm welcome from the guards and maids. Their welcome home party was soon cut short when one of the superior guards ran on scene. "My Prince and Princesses, I have urgent news!" she said in a panic.

"P-Please, no more bad news, I nerves can't take it." Blueblood pleaded. The prince was till dealing with the potential outcome that was sure to happen after a group of ponies invaded another country.

"I-I'm sorry my prince, but we've just received word that Sky Island Prison was just destroyed." she said. "Most of the prisoners have escaped."

"It was WHAT?!" Blueblood yelled. "HOW?!"

"They said that one of the inmates exploded with power then shot off." she explained.

Celestia and Luna looked at each other before turning to the guard. "Tell me, was this inmate a dragon?" Celestia asked.

"I believe so, yes." she answered.

Celestia turned back to her sister with a worried look on her face. "So it was him we saw flying over the beach." Luna said. "He must've sensed that Amethyst was in trouble."

"He's not the one i'm worried about." Celestia replied before turning back to the guard. "Have you sent word to Shining Armor?"

"We've contacted the Crystal Empire as soon as we heard." she explained. "The guards will relay the message to Shining Armor and Princess Cadence once they return. We should be hearing from them soon."

"What about the guards stationed at the prison?" Luna asked.

"Thankfully, nopony was hurt." she answered. "That's the good news, the bad news, is that most of the inmates who escaped, were pegasi and unicorns."

"That means HE'S out there now." Celestia thought as a chill ran down her spine.

"I'll gather some guards and we'll track the escapees down." said Luna. "Blueblood can you........." Luna looked over at her nephew and saw that he wore a blank look on his face as he stared off into space. She waved her hand in front of his face to get his attention, but received no response. Blueblood's nerves were completely destroyed to the point that he just complete shutdown. First the thought of another "Grand War" with the dragons and now this.

****************************

In Baltimare, or at least what was left of it, Nami and Aqua met up with Gravel in front of the hospital room that held both Ebony and Sentinel. Ebony was bandaged up, but Sentinel was in a full blown body cast; except for his head. "How you boys feeling?" Nami asked as she and the others walked in.

"I've been better." answered Ebony.

"And what about you O' fearless leader?" Aqua teased. "Prince Blueblood really did a number on you."

"I was so close." he said. "I'm not giving up. Princess Twilight will be mine. As soon as I get outta here, i'm going to Ponyville to finish what I started."

"Did you learn nothing?!" yelled Gravel.

"Yeah, I've learned that I need a new plan of action." Sentinel answered. "Dragonnapping the lizard didn't work, so i'll have to take him out of the picture some other way." Gravel, clearly aggravated with Sentinel, went over to his bedside and knocked him upside his head; causing him to roar in pain. "WHAT'S WRONG WITH YOU, CAN'T YOU SEE I'M INJURED!" As Sentinel howled in pain, Ebony stared up at the ceiling; raising his hand as if he was trying to reach something. A confident smile soon formed on his face as he clenched his fist.

"Just you wait, my rival." he thought. "I'll be seeing you again, and when I do, i'll have my rematch."

END.

This took longer than expected, but I finally got it done. I wanna give a special thanks to SuperGodzilla2030 for letting me use his characters, Dragonius, White Wing, and Golden Fang. (We'll talk later)

Bye for now and i'll see y'all in the Fourth Installment, where a couple familiar faces make their return.
