Chapter Four - Taken

Pinkie frowned. "Who are you, and how do you know my name?" Her eyes lit up. "Are you psychic?"
The girl chuckled. "The less you know about me, the better. Not that it matters that much."
Pinkie watched in horror as the girl in front of her began to change form. Her eyes widened as she stared back at an exact replica of herself. "How did you-"
Before she could finish, the Pinkie replica blew a cloud of dust into her face, knocking her unconscious. She caught her swiftly, triggering some of her changing friends to hurry over to them both and carry Pinkie away leaving two of them standing there.
"Electra, it's your time. Make me proud sister." Lilith smiled, encouraging Electra to step into the house as a Pinkie Pie replacement.
Electra closed the door behind her and made her way to where the friends had been waiting. Twilight and Flash had emerged from the kitchen, and Nova was back in her arms.
"Who was it, Pinkie?" Twilight asked, cradling Nova gently.
Electra paused. "Uh- It was just some weirdo selling-" She shrugged. "Insurance."
"So it wasn't Fireshot and Sunset?" Twilight sighed.
Electra shook her head. "Sorry, no."
A knock at the door prevented anyone else from saying anything, but causing Twilight to groan, annoyed. "Seriously? Again?"
Everyone waited for Pinkie to spring into action, but Electra stood there clueless and oblivious.
"I got it." Rainbow Dash volunteered, hurrying away to the door,
"Are you okay Pinkie?" Apple Jack frowned.
Electra nodded. "I'm fine, why do you ask?"
Apple Jack waved her hand in dismal. "Uh- no reason."

As Rainbow approached the door, the knocking became louder and more frantic. "Geez, I'm coming!" She yelled towards the closed door before throwing it open. "What is-"
She stopped yelling when she saw Sunset on the doorstep. Her eyes were red and puffy and her hair was in a mess. She was clearly frantic.
"It's-" Sunset took a deep breath. "Fireshot... He's gone!"
"What do you mean, gone?" Rainbow raised an eyebrow.
"I mean he's gone! He's disappeared." She panted, she'd ran to the house.
Rainbow ushered her inside, and to the rest of the group where they began fussing over Sunset instantly.
"I'm fine, it's just Fireshot!" She urgently announced. "We were about to set off on our way here. Fireshot was outside in the garden, I was just locking up. By the time I came outside, he was gone. I tried to look for him, but I couldn't find him anywhere near the house. I called his mobile and discovered it across the lawn. I was hoping he was here..." She sighed. "I think.... I think someone has kidnapped him..."
