| "Don't worry, Apple Jack,we'll be careful" Derpy said.
As the train rolled into the station, Brandon looked out into Ponyville. The once happy town seemed empty and its once bright colors faded. It gave Brandon an unsettling feeling. The place reminded him of a run down amusment park. "Ok, Derpy, just direct me to where you want to go, and AJ and I will escort you and Dinky there."
"Thanks, I'll direct you where I need to go." Derpy said. She tried to think of where The Doctor usually landed the TARDIS. He ussually landed on the outscirts of of town to as not to draw attention to the TARDIS."I don't have to go there right away. I just wanted you to know that I had some business to take care of in town." Derpy said

Prometheus nodded. "They may walk around the compound while we finish our talk. Scootaloo is well known here so no one will bother them." He looked at Cameron. "It will not be safe to discuses details of my brothers passing in the open, as his more devoted followers will not take the news as... peaceably as myself." He looked back at Rarity, "But first, how much do you know about this 'Discord?'"
Leading Dash out the door Scootaloo still looked uneasy. "Did..." She tried to look at Dash, but then looked away. "Did you come a long way?"
* * *
"Alright then." Apple Jack grunted, sliding the still unconscious Rocket onto a tarp. "So then, how about y'all help me this one over to the farm before you take off?"
Meanwhile Twilight and Fluttershy had begun looking for fuel. "There is not allot her we can use and we might need to get more medication for Kat for when we arrive, not to mention Rocket." She looked at the others. "Sweet Apple might have some of what we need, but it might just be faster if we look around here, at least fuel wise. Brandon, I don't want to make a decision about Kat's safety and end up having it come between us. What would you rather we focus on?"

| Dr. G watched as Dash and Scootaloo left. The air in the room felt heavy with Prometheus's question. Rarity thought for a minute. Something about this guy wasn't quite right. "Well he is an evil God of Chaos and would love nothing better than to turn the world upside down I personally dislike him. But it seems that in this situation he is enjoying making more chaos and wants to enslave the world." Rarity said frowning. "I'd suggest you be careful. He is a force to be reckoned with. I have a request though I want to see Colgate Can we please?" She asked Prometheus locking eyes with him.

| "You may, if you are escorted." He agreed, standing up. "You will have to forgive my cation, but after what has transpired, I am sure you can understand why I want none of you wandering around... unattended."

| Brandon scratched his head. "I don't know Twilight, I guess it couldn't hurt looking into this Sweet Apple place. Having the train cuts some time out of the trip so I guess we could afford to spend more time here." Brandon said "Besides it might be near where Derpy needs to go, and AJ may need our help."

| Twilight nodded. "Alright." She smiled. "And it will be nice to see Apple Jack's family as well.
Fluttershy sighed. "If we are going to be here for a few hours, I will meet you at Sweet Apple Acres. I need to cheek on my animal friends while I am here."
"Alright then." Apple Jack gave Fluttershy a quick hug then took off at a quick pace. "Come on y'all! Lets hit the farm!"
A short trip though the quite streets and the small group found itself on the edge of a lonely farm house. The windows where broken and the doors where no where to be scene. The doors to the barn remained closed and bodies littered the pathway to the house. Apple Jack froze at the gate, seeming to be unable to step though into the farm lands proper.

| "Don't worry squirt now that we've found you we just need to go catch up with the others in Equestria then everything'll be fine" Rainbow wrapped her hoof over Scootaloos shoulders
*
"What is it that you are trying to do with us, Prometheus? If you have a deal to make, then make it. Or do you intend to kill us?" Cameron pressed
"Uhh well we'd obviously rather you didn't kill us but I don't think anyone would disagree that we would like to know what you intend to do with us, since you are technically holding us here" Octavia interjected

| "I accept those terms. Who will be my Escort?" Rarity asked. (I wonder if it's any pony I know) Rarity thought although the last pony she had recognized in this world besides Scootaloo had been well she was trying to forget the image of Fancy. Prometheus smirked and spoke to his guard who saluted and left.
"I agree with Octavia in this one. What exactly is the deal you'd like to make? Or Is there something else at play here? We would like to hear the terms of your proposal." Dr. G asked as he locked eyes with Prometheus.

As if in a daze Apple Jack started to trot up the path, seemingly oblivious to her friends question. Twilight and Fluttershy hurried ahead and pulled her to a stop while giving Derpy and Brandon a meaningful look with a clear message. 'See if its as bad as it looks.'
* * *
Scootaloo frowned. "What happened Rianbow Dash?" She sounded both confused and hurt. "D said that you where coming back with him, but a few days ago Prometheus started acting all weird and cold and he won't talk to me and then you show up after weeks and your with a bunch of strangers?" She rubbed her eyes. "I have been waiting for you to show up all this time, but... Everything has been so horrible and when I saw you I thought it would all be better, but its not!"
* * *
Prometheus face remained expressionless. "I don't intended to do anything to you, at least nothing to hurt or hinder you. I want to know what you are planing and if your plans will hinder our... common problem." He looked at Octavia. "Though as you say, right now I am holding you here."
He lead the small group to a side building with a red cross painted on it's side. "My brother left standing orders to keep ponies safely here at the base, for there own protection do to the number of... well lets just say that the pony survival rate here on earth has been much lower then that of even humans." He opened the door and lead the group into a small clinic like building. "And some of his more devoted followers have taken that protection to hart."
Near the back of the small building, a section had been cordoned off by white curtains. Prometheus frowned. "It seems as if your friend is in surgery. I did not give any such order, though the doctors might have noticed something more serious then I did. She was looking rather ill..."

| Brandon and Derpy continued up the path to the country house. To ease the tension Brandon spoke up. "So, Derpy, have you seen what you have been looking for?" he asked.
"Not yet, I think it maybe some where just outside of Ponyville." Derpy said. The two reached the porch of the house. They stared at the door, uneasy about what maybe behind it. "You wanna open the door or should I?"
Brandon swallowed. "I'll do it " Brandon said opening the door.

| "Scoots... W-we've..." Dash paused, looking for the right words to say "Don't worry Scoots, everything will get better as soon as we're out of here" Rainbow was torn by Scootaloos words and she wanted to do nothing but help favorite filly, but she wanted to avoid the subject of D as best as she could "What do you mean everything has been so horrible, what's been happening?"
*
Cameron ran his hand through his hair as they walked, why would pony survival rate be so low here on Earth? He brushed it off and assumed that Prometheus had just meant that ponies weren't as good at defending themselves due to their more peaceful culture. Cameron walked alongside G as they made their way to the clinic "Just a heads up" Cameron whispered "I think that Prometheus's idea for ruling is to act like a pope, he claims for the half that are loyal that he takes his orders from God, who is for these people; D. And the other half are loyal to him because he controls the religious half and can use them any way he sees fit"

The smell of rot was almost overwhelming as the two looked into the farm house. bodies, there heads crushed and split, lay sprawled along the stairs and floor, seemly cut down in an attempted to get at some sort of defender. The silence and unbearable stench leaves little doubt that anypony left after this assault would have either fled or died of there wounds. From a side door, Brandon noticed a window left ajar and what looked like the remains of a struggle. From beyond, the closed barn was just visible.
It might be a long shot, but maybe someone or somepony made it to the barn?
* * *
Scootaloo sniffed. "When I woke up here, I was..." She looked at Dash and whipped her noise. "I wasn't scared, but I was... worried something might have happened to Apple Bloom and Sweetie Belle. They where with me when that weird portal opened right near us and I don't know if they followed me when I went to look at it." She turned her head away. "D found me in a tree, trying to fly away from a group of the monsters that had been chasing me. I broke my leg in the fall, but her carried me back here and helped take care of me."
Scootaloo tugged at a red band of cloth wrapped around her neck like a scarf. "He taught me how to survive out her and made me a protector! It was really cool, but then he had to go away." She rubbed her eyes again. "It was OK at first, D's friends are all cool and his brother was pretty cool to at first. Then... He called me and told me that you where with him... and you said..." She looked down and stiffed a little sob. "And then after that, Prometheus started acting weird and scared and then I saw him smash the gift D gave him!" She looked at Dash with red eyes, brimming with tears. "He got so scary after that! He kept having secret meetings and he refused to let me call you and D and then you came back, but you don't have D with you and he was going to make things better! You both where!"
Scootaloo wavers on her feet, clearly on the verge of collapsing or screaming. Around the compound, others start to look in there direction, clearly curious and concerned.
* * *
Prometheus patted the curtain and called to its occupants. "What is going on here? Who ordered a operation?"
From inside a female voice sighed. "I did and as you can guess, I am very busy, so would you kindly piss off?"
The big mans face hardly changed as he closed his eyes. "Dr. Soothing Needles, I did send a warning that these guests would not be with us on a permanent bases, did I not?"
The curtain slide aside and a irritable looking dark yellow pegasuses shot her head out to glare at Prometheus. "Well, that was before I saw how infected this poor girls legs where! It looks like someone shoved an infected blade straight into her bones!" The mare clenched her teeth. "Poor thing is luckily to be alive right now and if you think I am going to just patch her up so she can wast away over the next week, you have another thing coming Mr. I Know Best!" She turned her attention to the others. "And who are these?"
"Her friends." Prometheus stated flatly.
The doctor grunted. "A pleasure." Then, without another word she violently slid the curtain back and returned to her work. Prometheus let out a frustrated grunt, but otherwise made no move to either leave or push the doctor.

| Dr. G was begining to suspect that Cameron was right about Prometheus especially given how this doctor had treated him. He whispered to Rarity
"I know how much Colagte means to you I'm going to see if I can lend the doctor a hoof. In the meantime please keep in mind our goal and remember we came together we leave together ok?" Dr. G said as she nodded. Dr. G looked at Prometheus and asked.
"Would you mind if I satyed here I'd like to learn from Dr. Soothing Needles here. I'm Sure Rarity Cameron and Octavia can answer you concerns. " Dr. G asked. Prometheus nodded. As soon as the group left. Doc approached the curtain.
"Excuse me Dr. Soothing Needles. May I join you?" Dr. G asked.

| Brandon closed the door and met Twilight, Apple Jack, and Fluttershy back on the path.
"No sign of anyone alive in the house." Brandon said. "But somepony was definately there, and they really put up a fight. But I have reason to believe, and I maybe just going out a limb here, that if AJ's family is still alive, they would be hiding out in the barn. So, I think that it would be best for us to check in there.
"Fluttershy, is Apple Jack Ok?" Derpy whispered. "I'm sorta worried about her. She's been acting funny ever since we got here."
