Can't Be Too Happy

No One's P.O.V

Looking at the disaster happening in front of them, Abohaty knew she needed to put an end to it all. She let go of Glitz's hoof and looked him in the eye.

"I'm sure you see the dead guards everywhere, so I'm not going to ask you to fight."

"But-" Abohaty put a hoof up to his lips.

"Remember how we saw Nom Nom at the liar?" Glitz nodded slowly. "She didn't have any sort of cuts, bruises, or bloody wounds because when you try physically hurting her, her skin will "regrow" over the bruise, wound, burn, whatever it is. So that's why the guard's swords are useless."

"How did she die then?"

"Most likely some sort of smell killed her. It could've been the diamond being taken off of her, but that doesn't always kill the pony...or cat in this case. It just makes them powerless and weak. Which is why an intoxicated smell could've just been Nom Nom's last straw," Abohaty explained. "So I'm gonna try to break that diamond. In the meantime, try helping ponies get to safety, especially the hurt ones." Glitz smiled and nodded. That was certainly doable for him. Before he went off to do his new task, he was pulled in for a long hug from Abohaty. "Be safe, please."

And just like that, she rushed off.

Glitz started searching around for anypony that needed help, specifically Stormy after he saw the way she fell. But his attention was caught on Kelsey on the hospital bed being rolled by Celia. He caught up to them immediately and Celia looked at him in shock.

"You're alive?!"

"It's nice to see you too, need any help with that?" he asked. "Because I know you run much faster than that." Celia looked at Kelsey, then back at the royal guard.

"Thank you," she said. She waved at Kelsey before running off, much faster than she was running before. Now that Glitz thought about it, he probably should've sent another guard out with her just in case.

"Where we going?" he asked Kelsey.

"Uhhh, I think everypony is running to the train station right now for safety." Glitz thought about that for a second. Was it safe, really? There were no other places he could think of to hide since homes were destroyed. But at the same time, if Amirah spotted where everypony went, it's possible she could set something off at the station. He looked around for a unicorn that would definitely be helpful. He saw a guard with a blue mane and orange coat and recognized him immediately. He wasn't a unicorn, but he would be a lot of help.

"Flash!!" He called, hoping the pegasus would hear him over the ruckus. Flash Sentry turned his head and ran over to Glitz.

"Hey, long time no see!" Flash lifted his shield when he sensed something coming down at him, and the magic backfired into the air again.

"Is there anypony guarding the train station?" Flash scratched the back of his head with his hoof.

"Don't think so...but I can look after it if ponies are taking cover there."

"Please do, I'm trying to find Shining Armor if he's here." Glitz told the guard.

"Uh, yeah, I think he went-" Flash's words were cut off by a loud crashing sound that almost sounded like it was an explosion. Both he and Glitz looked to where the noise evolved and a wave of dust blasted into their faces. For a good moment, ponies paused everything they were doing to look at what had happened. Glitz saw everypony in the main six but Rainbow Dash rush to the scene.

"The castle, it's going to fall!!" He heard Rarity cry. It's as if everypony forgot about the Queen just for a second to run over to the castle. This left Glitz, Kelsey, and Flash out in the open for Amirah to eye.
