As she made her way down the street, Phoenix was followed by the kids she saved from the school as well as a trail of blood from her legs.

Letting out a huff she paused to catch her breath. It stunk having her skin peeled off like this. She rather preferred they use nails instead of rope. At least then she'd have a good reason to be mad. Instead, she was annoyed at the fact she was forced to protect the kids in an unideal condition and get them to the castle. All while leaving a trail right to them.

Taking a deep breath, she let one of the colts change her wrappings. Hopefully she wouldn't have to fight off the locals.

Looking around, she smiled at her luck as she saw the castle across the street. Taking a deep breath, she stepped out into the middle of the street looking around. Letting out a sigh she turned to the castle. "Spirits of this land. Grant these children a path to safety." She said softly before tapping the ground.

Within seconds a tunnel formed near the kids. Seeing the path, the kids quickly went in, happy to be out of the open.

Seeing the last kid enter the tunnel, Phoenix tapped her hoof, closing the tunnel behind them. After a moment she turned as ghoulified ponies lumbered towards her from one direction and feral griffins. "On the plus side. At least one group won't be missed."

Applejack and Applebloom smiled as they sat on a pile of unconscious ponies.

"Looks like we took care of that mess." Bloom laughed as Pinkie bounced over with an exhausted Fluttershy trailing up behind.

"Glad to see you two had luck too." Pinkie called.

"Yeah. Who knew the group that came here was hit by gluttony." Bloom laughed. "What about you?"

"Fear." Fluttershy sighed. "So many suppressed memories." She sighed. "Hopefully the others are having better luck."

"Yeah. Who knew scared ponies were so worried about what might happen if they smiled." Pinkie sighed as she looked around. "Where's Rarity and Sweetie?"

"Dealing with greedy ponies I bet." Applejack laughed.

"Pride." Fluttershy corrected. "My animal friends told me that Rainbow got greed." The group paused and looked over at the trees as a bird flew over and whispered in Fluttershy's ear. "Oh my… Rainbow and Scootaloo were taken… and Rarity is in trouble."

"Then let's get going. We have to help them. Maybe we can get help from some of the others at the castle." Bloom announced before joining her sister in hopping off the pile and leading the charge back to the others.

Rarity sighed as she sat in her shop. "For the last time darlings. You all look." She sighed as Sweetie tried working with a group of colts who were just as down on themselves.

"What would help cheer you up?" Sweetie asked.

One of the colts thought for a moment before whispering to the others. After a moment he turned back to her. "Can we… fuck you… and your sister?"

Sweetie and Rarity shared a concerned look before Rarity took a deep breath. "Well… I wouldn't say it's the most refined thing for a lady to do… however…" She looked the stallions over and noticed their sizes. "I doubt there'll be much of a problem." She laughed before lifting her tail.

Sweetie glanced at one of the colts and blushed. "Would… you like to go first?" Smiling Button Mash went behind her and got in position on top of her.

Rarity took a deep breath. As she readied herself for the stallion mounting her. "At least these guys aren't as big as our king." She thought. Looking over at her sister, she smiled. "Looks like you boys are going to have a great time. Lucky colts."

Rarity looked at the stallions and smiled and licked her lips. "You boys are lucky to get this chance. So I hope you enjoy every second of it."

With that, the ponies gathered closer to the two girls and took turns on both ends.

Luna took a deep breath as the last pony left the main hall. As soon as the door shut, she let out a relieved sigh as she slumped in her seat. "Finally." Turning to one of the guards she was about to ask him something before noticing his white coat. "No." She gasped as her eyes widened in shock.

Smiling, the pony turned to her. "Long time no see my lady."

Luna gulped and turned to the guards. "Leave us. We are not to be disturbed." She ordered. With a nod, the guards left the room and stood guard outside as she turned to the white stallion. "To what do I owe this owner?"

He laughed and moved to stand in front of her. "Can't an old friend just want to come say hi?"

"You? Just saying hi?" Luna laughed. "I missed your sense of humor. And I did like our time together. But I know you too well. What brings you here?"

He sighed. "Yes… about that…" He slowly lifted his head with concern on his face. "A dark cloud will rise."

Looks like the team is hard at work. Guess that talk about peace was only from him. Wonder how the girls are going to get out of this.
