My Little Wizard Of Oz

Chapter 15

In the throne room, Apple Bloom was still crying her eyes out as she said "Ah'm frightened, Ah'm frightened, Auntie Applejack! Ah'm frightened!" Just then, Applejack appeared in the crystal ball as she said "Apple Bloom? Apple Bloom, where are you? It's me, Applejack! We're trying to find you. Where are you?" Apple Bloom looked at the crystal ball as she said "Ah-Ah'm here in Discorded Equestria, Auntie Applejack." Apple Bloom said. "Ah'm locked up in the changeling queen's castle, and Ah'm trying to get home to you, Auntie Applejack!" Then, the image of Applejack started to fade away as she said "Oh, Auntie Apple Jack, don't go away! Ah'm frightened! Come back! Come back!" Then, Queen Chrysalis appeared in the crystal ball as she mocked Apple Bloom, and said "Auntie Applejack! Auntie Applejack! Come back! I'll give you Auntie Applejack, my pretty!" She cackled sinisterly as Apple Bloom looked at the hourglass in fear.

Outside the castle, Fluttershy, Pinkie Pie, Rarity, and Winona made their way among the rocks. They stopped behind a big rock as Winona barked, and Pinkie Pie said "Shh! Winona, be quiet!" Then, the changeling guards came by, and they were grabbed by Pinkie Pie, Rarity, and Fluttershy knocked them out, and took their armor. As they put the armor on, Pinkie Pie said "Whew! That wasn't my plan, but something happened, didn't it?" "You put up a great fight, Fluttershy." Rarity said. "Yeah." "I don't know what we'd have done without you, darling." Rarity said. Fluttershy laughed a little as she said "I-I must have bitten you a coulpe of times." The changeling guards marched around the castle courtyard as they chanted, and Pinkie Pie said "Come on. I've got another idea." "Do-Do you think it'll be polite dropping in like this?" Fluttershy asked. "Come on, come on." Rarity said as they joined in on the changelings marching into the castle while Winona silently followed them. In the throne room, Apple Bloom was still crying as the hourglass continued to pour sand to the bottom. In the hallway, Pinkie Pie, Rarity, and Fluttershy ducked back into wall as the changeling guards marched on by. When the coast was clear, Rarity said "Where do we go now?" "Yeah." Fluttershy said.

Winona then barked as Pinkie Pie, Rarity, and Fluttershy looked at her. They then looked up the stairs as Pinkie Pie said "There!" They ran up the stairs, and went into the upper hallway. They went went up to the door in front of them as Winona scratched it with her paws. "Wait!" Pinkie Pie said. "We'd better make sure. Apple Bloom, are you there?!" On the other side, Apple Bloom heard them as Fluttershy said "It's us!" Apple Bloom ran to the door as she said "Yes, it's me! She's locked me in! Oh, Ah knew you'd get here in time!" "Listen, everypony, it;'s her!" Fluttershy said. "We gotta get her out. Open this door!" They pushed at the door as Fluttershy said "Open the door! Open the door! Open the door! Open the door! Open the door! Open the door!" "Don't push!" Rarity said. "Stop pushing!" Pinkie Pie said as they stopped pushing the door. "Oh. I was only trying to help." Fluttershy said. "Ohhh." "Oh, hurry!" Apple Bloom said. "Please hurry!" The hourglass had very little sand left at the top as Apple Bloom said "The hourglass is almost empty!" "Stand back!" Rarity said as they removed the armor. Apple Bloom then stepped back as Rarity held up her axe with her magic, and started chopping at the door. After a lot of chopping, she finally made a hole in the door.

Apple Bloom crawled out through the hole as Winona happily barked at her, and she said "Oh, oh, oh! Winona! Winona!" "Did they hurt you?" Fluttershy asked. Apple Bloom hugged Fluttershy as she said "Fluttershy, Ah knew you'd come!" "Apple Bloom, darling!" Rarity said. "Ah knew you would!" Apple Bloom said. "Hurry!" Pinkie Pie said. "We've got no time to lose!" They ran down the stairs, and started to head for the big door in front of them, but it suddenly slammed shut. They looked behind them to see Queen Chrysalis standing there as they gasped in fear. "Oh!" Apple Bloom yelled out. "Going so soon?" Queen Chrysalis asked while smirking. "I wouldn't hear of it. Why, my party's just beginning!" "Trapped!" Fluttershy said. "Trapped like mice or rats!" As the changeling guards moved in on the huddled group, Rarity looked at Fluttershy, and said "Go ahead! Do something! Roar! Roar!" "What good will it do us?!" Fluttershy asked. Queen Chrysalis looked down at the changeling guards as they moved in on them, and she said "That's right. Don't hurt them right away. We'll let them think about it a little first!" The changeling guards growled at the huddled group as Pinkie Pie looked at the chandelier while Winona growled at the changeling guards.

"How does it feel my little visitor?" Queen Chrysalis asked. "Can you imagine what I'm going to do to you?" She held the hourglass up with her magic, and threw it at them as it bursted into flame, and Fluttershy said "Here we go, friends!" Pinkie Pie then took Rarity's axe, and chopped the rope holding the chandelier as Apple Bloom said "Oh!" The chandelier then crashed onto the changeling guards below as Queen Chrysalis screamed out "Seize them! Stop them, you fools!" As Apple Bloom, Pinkie Pie, Rarity, Fluttershy, and Winona ran down the corridor, Queen Chrysalis said "They've gotten away! Stop them! Stop them!" The changeling guards obeyed as they ran into the corridor to catch Apple Bloom, Pinkie Pie, Rarity, Fluttershy, and Winona.
