There was noise. And lots of it. Fire. Screams. Collapsing buildings. Rubble. Stone upon Stone. Wind. Very loud Wind. Storm opened his eyes. He was on the floor in a long stone corridor. There was a long fine red carpet with gold sown into it. There were expensive looking pictures on the walls, and the lights were grand chandeliers. Whoever owned this place, was a very rich pony. Storm stood up, and turned around. Behind him was part of the ceiling that had collapsed in front of the front door. He wondered where he was meant to go, until he heard a scream that was clearer than the others. He recognised it instantly.
“SISTER!!!” he shouted, but heard no response “HOLD ON SIS, I'M COMING! I WON'T LET THEM HURT YOU!!!” Storm started to gallop down the hall way as fast as he could. He didn't know how he actually had a sister in the first place, but that didn't matter at the moment. What did matter was saving her.

After what seemed like an eternity, he burst out into a landing. It was very tall, and there was lots of rubble and fire in there. There were only two places to go, the rest was either blocked by rubble or fire, to big double doors in front of him ,or some stairs to the left. The rest was blocked off by rubble. Storm galloped up to the double doors in front of him, and tried to break it down.
“SIS! YOU IN THERE? HOLD ON!” he shouted against the noises around him. He heard his sister scream again, but from the top floor. He flew upward to the top part of the room. There were some grand double doors with windows in them in front of him. One the other side was a large black unicorn with red eyes on the large balcony on the other side of the doors, holding his sister with magic in mid air. Storms sister looked in a bad way. The Black unicorn noticed Storm, and smiled. The unicorn stretched his wings. He was an alicorn? Who was this pony? He tightened his grip on Storms sister, and she screamed again.
“LET HER GO! SIS, CAN YOU HEAR ME? SIS, SISTER! SNOW! CAN YOU HEAR ME? YOU'RE GOIND TO BE ALRIGHT!” Storm tried the handle, but the it was jammed. He flew back, and flew with all his might at the door. He broke it down and flew right into a hoof. SMACK. Storm was on the floor, barely conscious.

That confused him. No pony could of bucked that hard! Then, storm noticed a glow around the the two pegasus. Damn magic. They went up to him, and lifted him up, so the alicorn could see him at eye height.
“dispose of this worm immediately” he said, and turned to Storm's sister.
“brother, brother! Storm can you hear me? You've got to get up!” she said to him
“quiet you!” snapped the alicorn and tightened his grip on her. She screamed in pain.
“sis...” was all Storm could manage. The two pegasus dragged him forwards, and placed him upright on his two hind legs knee's on the edge of the balcony. The wall had broken away, and it was a long drop down.

The balcony was on top of a cliff. A very tall cliff. But that was not the thing that got his attention. There was a very large Tornado wreaking what appeared to be a village on the other side of the cliff. That's where the screams were coming from.
“you see that?” asked the alicorn “you did that. You made that tornado. Those ponies are dying because of your anger”
“no, brother, don't listen to him! You would never do such a thing! And your power isn't that strong, don't listen to that monsters lies!” shouted Snow
“I thought I told you to SHUT UP!” shouted the alicorn Snow.
Storm turned around to see the alicorn slam Snow into the ground.
“sis...” he muttered
“ha, pathetic” one the pegasus said and turned Storms head around, so he was looking down the cliff.
“so long, chum” said the same one, and the last thing Storm remembered was a sharp pain in the back of his head, and then black, as he fell to oblivion.

Rainbow Dash woke with a start, as she heard a scream from Storms room. She groggily pull her self out of bed, and quickly readied her self for a intruder. Hey, it could be anypony. She entered Storms room, just to see him sitting up right on the side of his bed, panting heavily. Storm was pale, and had beads of sweat rolling down his for head and was shaking.
“are you ok? Did you have a nightmare?” she asked him, concerned. She thought that Storm tried to say something, but she didn't hear him properly.
“look, just calm down” she said “it'll be fine, trust me” Rainbow wasn't sure why she was being so nice to this pony. Was it out of guilt? But what had she done?... no, it defiantly wasn't out of guilt. Rainbow sat down next to Storm, wondering what he had dreamt of.
“What happened in your dream?” she asked. Storm gulped, and explained the story to her. Rainbow just sat and listened.
“Hmmmm” she said after he had finished “look, if its really bugging you, im sure Twilight would know what to do”
“yea” he said shaking “Thanks for the talk, it made me feel better”
“don't worry about it” she said “now go back to sleep! If you keep me up any longer, your gonna make me grumpy tomorrow, and trust me, you aren't gonna like a grumpy Rainbow Dash”
“umm... ok” he said a lied back down again “goodnight Dash...”
“you to Storm” she replied, and left his room. When she got back into her bed, she wondered if she should of stayed with him any longer, but Dash was to tired to think straight, and both pegasus fell back to sleep again... Next Chapter: Back in the Air Estimated time remaining: 24 Minutes
