private It has begun

[Acoustic Cloud 2,202]

as thunder felt the world tip as he toppled head over hooves. The feeling stopped when his back slammed into the ground.

"ahhh buck!" he shouted

Dieheart sat there and chuckled...

Dizzy, derpy, and fire flower came from the camp to see the commotion.

"diehard whats wr..." their words stopped as they saw a now mare dieheart on top of thunder.

*cough* umm are we interrupting something?

[The Razor Wing 879]

Dieheart looked over to the others. Nope not at all. We were just having a nice little talk. Dizzy was at a loss for words looking at the mare Diehard. Diehard??? Is that really you? Why are you a mare now? I was trying to sort out the poisonjoke from the good hay. But it seems like i touched to much of it and....look at me now. Derpy was lost at wonder who the new mare was. Who's the new mare you guys? She kinda looks like Diehard. Did we find his sister? Dizzy facehoofs. No mom. That is Diehard. He just got in the poisonjoke. Oh no. You know that stuff is bad for you. Well now that everypony has taken in my new look i think we should get moving.

[Rainbow Dash Loyalty 1,275]

Fire Flower wakes up yawning and rubbing her eyes, "Whoa...is that Diehard?" Fire Flower asked she started to chuckle and laugh at Dieheart's mare body. "I guess karma strikes again" She said while she was laughing."On the bright side, at least you're not the only one who ate the poisonjoke. Anyways, where are we heading next to now?" questioned Fire Flower.

[Acoustic Cloud 2,202]

"yes jokes aside, we are all in the same possition... well dizzy isn't," thunder shoots a slight glare at dizzy who just shrugs

"but we should be off and headed to the next location..." thunder stated "i agree with fire flower, where are we off now dieheart?"

they all look to dieheart, waiting for the plan to be layed out.

[The Razor Wing 879]

Dieheart looks at the map. Well we are here in the Dream Vally. And we need to get to Dead Appleloosa. If we get lucky the train should be running this way any minute now. If we just fallow those tracks over there it will take us to the station. And once we get to Appleloosa i can see if they have the other ingredients i need to reverse this. Oh i also got all the poisonjoke out of the hay if you guys want some. But im keeping some of it as well. So whatever you do dont open that jar. Looking at Thunder. Oh and since your a big strong colt now you dont mind pulling the cart do you? Thank you for being such a dear. Gives him a peck on the cheek.

[Acoustic Cloud 2,202]

Thunder sighs "alright..." rolling his eyes a bit.

The ponies load up the cart with all of the equipment. And they then begin walking away from camp to find the train.

Thunder pulling the cart asks dieheart "hey, what did you want with the poisenjoke anyways?"

[The Razor Wing 879]

With a sly look on her face. Oh you will see in due time. And plus its just nice to have....if you want to play a joke on somepony. As they walk they can feel the ground start to shake. You guys feel that? The trains on its way here. If we hurry we can still make it and get to Appleoosa in a few hours. Come on lets go! They start to run

[Acoustic Cloud 2,202]

They break into a dead sprint, they follow alongside the tracks. They could see the smoke billowing on the horizon from the train.

*The station catches their eyes in the distance

"We are almost there!" shouted thunder, the cart getting heavy fast.

The train getting closer to their position every second that passes.

[The Razor Wing 879]

Come on Thunder we're almost there. As they catch up to the train Dieheart goes to the conductor. Hey dude is it to late to get on the train? The conductor was quite take with the mare at the door. Well miss i could let you on....for a price. As he walked around Dieheart and checked her out. Oh yea baby. So what are you willing to give me if i let you on? Dieheart gives a look of disgust and says. Well how bout this Bill. You let me and my friends on and i dont kill you. Now making a cute face. OOOO...I see you got some fight in you. I like that. What did you say your name sweet cakes? Oh well my name is Dieheart. Buuuuuut you might know me by another name. Does it ring a bell to you? The conductor is puzzled. Dieheart???? Oh.....no.....no way.........Diehard??? Is that you?What do you think? So can we get on or do i have to get Thunder on you? Points at the colt that was much bigger than he was. Thunder walks over.

[Acoustic Cloud 2,202]

"is this guy giving you a problem dieheart?" stated thunder strongly as he shot a glare at the pony.

You could see the confidence drain from the conductor's face

He looked nervously from thunder back to dieheart and returned his gaze back to thunder..

[The Razor Wing 879]

The conductor was trying his best not to look intimidated. Well....I dont see why you cant ride. Free of charge. Dieheart looks at him with a cute face. Thank you so much. Your such a dear. As Dieheart and Thunder walk away. Oh and yea i am Diehard. As they walk into there cart. Thanks for backing me up Thunder. So how does it feel to have that kind of power?

[Acoustic Cloud 2,202]

As they walked Thunder just grinned "feels pretty damn good" he said to dieheart

Derpy, Dizzy, and fire flower got into the train car and they all sat down.

"Last call to leave the station!" the conductor cried out.

The engine screamed "woowoo" and the doors slid to a close.

[The Razor Wing 879]

Dieheart smiled and laughed at what Thunder said. As the train takes off....We should be in Appleloosa in a few hours.(Yaaahhnn) Oh man im sleepy. I could really use some shut eye. Over the next few minuets Dieheart dozes off and leans on Thunders shoulder. Talking in sleep. mmmmmm so soft and warm. Dizzy shakes his head. This is just crazy. I mean...Its Diehard but...its not Diehard. This is just to wired. Whats wrong my muffin? Is your new friend making you feel funny?

[Acoustic Cloud 2,202]

Thunder chuckles at dieheart, then looks back towards derpy and dizzy and he sees derpy stroking dizzy's mane.

"i know, it's kinda weird... but you have to admit, he's a lot nicer" thunder said to dizzy

He then looks to the seat next to him and fire flower is just staring out the window.

"what's up fire flower?" said thunder "what is on your mind?"

[Rainbow Dash Loyalty 1,275]

Fire Flower was gazing outside the window with a thought on her mind "Hmm? Oh nothing...I was just wondering what we were going to do when this is all over" She said with a soft voice "So what are you going to after we fix things up?" She asked as she faced Thunder and looked into his face, slightly blushing.

[Acoustic Cloud 2,202]

He looked at fire flower "heh, i guess you're right" he said, " it's been so long since this all happened, i don't know how i could live after this ends" he looks ahead down the aisle, nopony else in that cab except for the five.

He looks back to fire flower "i don't know." he said emptily " i'm sure i'll find out when i get there."

Thunder paused...

"what are you going to do fire flower?" he asked.

[Rainbow Dash Loyalty 1,275]

Fire Flower thought for a second, "I'm not quite sure yet...but I hope to find my parents if they're still alive" She looked a bit upset just thinking about them, "But maybe we could build a small town with the rest of the survivors and start a new life." Thinking about good thoughts made her feel better.

[Acoustic Cloud 2,202]

"yeah, i guess we will have to rebuild, almost all of the cities are now piles of rubble." he said to fire flower "I don't have family though..."

he looked away, manly tears were shed, but he couldn't cry as a colt, not now.

He sucks it up...

"yeah, my family died long ago..." he said morosely

[Rainbow Dash Loyalty 1,275]

Fire Flowers started to tear up, "I'm so sorry...I didn't know" she felt guilty to bring up that subject, she put her hoof over Thunder's hoof then laid her head on his shoulder, "We can be you're new family..." she whispered in Thunder's ear, she slowly closed her eyes and thought of the future for everyone.

[Acoustic Cloud 2,202]

As the two fell asleep and derpy, dizzy nudged the back of thunder's head

"what dizzy?" he asked

"dude... give me some hoof" dizzy replied

*brohoof

"so let me ask thunder... how did you do that?" dizzy asked.

"honestly i don't even know the half of it" he said to dizzy with a wink.

[Miss Light Diamond 2,803]

Flame stuck his head around the corner to make sure that the ponies he had been listening too were all asleep, Oh goody. he thought walking over taking a look in their bag's,, Not food ,not food, nope nope nope. He thought pulling out the contents of the bag, he then found a small canteen full of water, Taking a small sip he moved on to the next bag.

[The Razor Wing 879]

Deiheart was dreaming and things were not going so well. In the dream.

Do you really think you can stop me Diehard? You know its pointless to try and stop me. But my Lord we cant do this. This not our war to fight. Even in they prophesy it says the Underground will bring more pain than help. And i cant live with that sir. Do you not want to be my right hand man in the new world Diehard? I do my Lord but not like this. Forgive me sir but i can no longer serve you if this is you plan. Now you know i cant let you do that Diehard. Now i have to kill you. You couldn't kill me if you wanted to. Your bound to this cave until the Princesses fall. Im going to make sure that does not happen. I will keep this from happening. YOU WILL FAIL DIEHARD!!! AND WHEN YOU DO, I WILL FIND YOU. AND I WILL KILL YOU FOR YOUR BETRAYAL!!!

 

Dieheart jumps out of her sleep sweating and breathing heavily. With tears coming down her face, she looks at her hooves. What have i done? Their blood is on my hooves. This is all my fault. Starts to cry.

 

Derpy gets up for a second to go get a snack. As she reaches for her bag she sees a blue pegasus going through the others bags. Hello little muffin what are you doing? Those are not your bags. She says in a motherly voice.

Flame heard a voice above him. Oh I uh...um I was...just. Flame searched for words to say. I was...Checking for mice, I thought I saw one come in here and I thought I would look in case you guys have food. He said rubbing his hoofs together, Im dead. He thought staring into the gray ponies crazy eye's.

[The Razor Wing 879]

Derpy looked concerned about the mice. On no thats not good. We dont want them to do that. Here let me help you. Derpy starts helping him look through the bags. She gets side tracked when she finds her bag full of muffins. Here's what i was looking for. Hey, would you like a muffin? Offers him a muffin. Oh and i never got your name. My name is Commander Derpy of the Solar Army. Whats your little one?

[Miss Light Diamond 2,803]

Ummmmmm Flame Dancer, and yes I would love a muffin...umm. Flame didn't know what to say, Whats up with this pony ? Should I just keep looking for food or... Flame took a small bite of the muffin and stood up. I uh, I didn't see any mice so im just gona go now, I didn't see any mice. Flame stood up and started walking towards the door but slipped on an old boot he had thrown out of one of the bags and he fell to the floor with a load thump. Edited August 31, 2012 by Flame Dancer
