My Little Black Cauldron

Chapter 16

As the castle kept crumbling away, Rainbow Blitz gave Cranky Doodle Donkey a pole that was in the boat, and he said "Here! You're job, Cranky Doodle Donkey!" Cranky Doodle Donkey then started pulling them towards the exit when he notice a locked gate blocking their path as he said "Uh oh! Trouble!" "Oh! We can't get through!" Rainbow Dash said. Rainbow Blitz jumped into the water as he said "I-I'll try to open the gate!" "Rainbow Blitz, be careful, please!" Rainbow Dash said as Rainbow Blitz broke the rusty chains and opened the gate. He looked at Cranky Doodle Donkey as he said "Quick! Push the boat through!" Cranky Doodle Donkey obeyed as he pushed the boat as Rainbow Dash said "Come on, Cranky Doodle Donkey! Hurry!" Rainbow Blitz helped Cranky Doodle Donkey as he pushed the boat forward, and he said "Good job, colt!" He pulled him into the boat as they went through the gate. The ceiling then started to give away as Cranky Doodle Donkey said "LOOK OOOOOOUUUUUUUTTTTTTTTTTTT!" A huge splash flushed them out of the castle as the boat capsized. They barely made it out of the castle which exploded, crumbled, and sank into the water as they looked on.

As the boat washed up on the shore nearby, Snips flew away on a griffin as he laughed with glee, and he was never seen again. Back at the shore Rainbow Blitz, Rainbow Dash, and Cranky Doodle Donkey stepped out of the boat as Rainbow Blitz spotted something floating on the water, and he said "Look!" Rainbow Dash and Cranky Doodle Donkey looked behind them, and much to their shock, the black cauldron was still intact. Rainbow Blitz frowned as he said "Winona." He was about to rush up to the cauldron, but stopped when he heard some familiar laughing, and he said "Winona." "Why is the poor duckling so sad?" Aria Blaze asked as she, Adagio Dazzle and Sonata Dusk appeared in the clouds. Adagio Dazzle smirked as she said "Yes, he got what they wanted, and he's still not satisfied!" Cranky Doodle Donkey glared as he said "Just what do you think you're up to, mares?!" "Oh, we have buisness with your little hero." Adagio Dazzle said. "Hero?!" Rainbow Blitz asked. "Winona was the hero!" "The only thing that mattered to you was the cauldron." Adagio Dazzle said. "But, now it's of no used to you. So, we'll just take it, and be on our way." They were about to take the cauldron, but Cranky Doodle Donkey stopped them as he said "Wait! Uh, stay your hooves, uh, mares! We never give anything away! We bargain! We trade! remember?"

Adagio Dazzle laughed as she said "Did these old ears hear the word bargain? Hmmm?" "Yes, madam!" Cranky Doodle said. "Those old ears heard right!" Sonata Dusk smiled as she said "Ohhhhh! I adore a voiceful pony or creature!" Cranky Doodle Donkey sighed as he said "Oh, pull yourself together, madam! Now, come on! Out with it! What is your offer?" Realizing that they want the sword back, Adagio Dazzle said "No! Not the-!" "Then, I'll do it!" Sonata Dusk said as she used her magic to make the sword appear in front of Rainbow Blitz. "A magnificent sword for a pony warrior." Rainbow Blitz was about to take it, but he pulled away as he said "I'm not a pony warrior. I'm a dragon colt. What would I do with a sword?" "Absolutely nothing!" Adagio Dazzle said as she took the sword back. "But, I will trade!" Rainbow Blitz said. "Yes?" Adagio Dazzle, Sonata Dusk, and Aria Blaze asked at the same time. Rainbow Blitz nodded, and said "The cauldron for Winona!" Sonata Dusk gasped as she said "Oh, dear!" "It's not possible!" Adagio Dazzle said. "Just as I thought, mares!" Cranky Doodle said. "You've got no real power! Admit it! Admit it!" They glared at them, and they took the cauldron as Adagio Dazzle said "We have made a bargain!" She laughed as she and her sisters disappeared, and Winona's lifeless body appeared on the ground.

Rainbow Blitz then walked up to Winona, and held her in his hooves. He frowned as tears filled his eyes, and he looked at Rainbow Dash, and Cranky Doodle Donkey. "Oh, Rainbow Blitz." Rainbow Dash said sadly as Rainbow Blitz hugged Winona. Suddenly, Winona woke up as she felt Rainbow Blitz around her, and she said "Munchings and crunchings in here somewhere!" Rainbow Blitz gasped as he said "Winona! You-You're alive!" Rainbow Dash smiled as she said "She's alive!" "Sweet merciful Celestia!" Cranky Doodle said smiling. "She IS alive!" "Oh, Cranky Doodle Donkey! Cranky Doodle Donkey! She's alive!" Rainbow Dash said. Winona jumped with joy as she laughed, and said "I'm alive! Winona's alive! Look! Look! Look! Touch me! Oh! Ho, ho!" As Rainbow Blitz and Rainbow Dash hugged her, she said "Oh, Winona! You clever little thing!" Winona smiled, and pushed Rainbow Blitz and Rainbow Dash's faces together that resulted in a kiss. They blushed in embarrassment, but laughed as Winona laughed with them. "Come on, Winona!" Rainbow Blitz said. "Let's go home!" As they headed home together, Winona said "Oh! Winona's happy day!" "Sweet merciful Celestia!" Cranky Doodle said as he laughed, and walked with them. Back at Sweet Apple Acres, Big Mac, Spike, and Star Swirled The Bearded watching them through the water in the bowl as Big Mac smiled, and said "You did well, mah colt! Eeyup!" "Yuuuuuup!" Star Swirled The Bearded said as he laughed. "I knew they could do it!" Spike said. In the end, Rainbow Blitz, and his friends became the heroes of Equestria.

The end.
