(Time: Early Afternoon)
There was a soft metallic clinking coming from the room next to the one Visi, Neve, and Fernando had been about to ambush. Neve eyed the door suspiciously and it flung open in her face.
"Quick! In here!" hissed Razzaroo, still dressed in cape and horned helmet.
"What the devil," Visi started. "You again!"
"OOooooo!" Fernando groaned, pointing to Razz, then pointing to his head. Visi flattened his ears and leapt at Razz, electricity rippling over his body.
Realizing his plan to divert the evils into thinking he was an ally had failed, Razz clattered out into the hall and went racing down the hall. He sent out a mental call to Silver Shadow.
HELP ME! HELP ME! HELP ME!
Then he rushed through the castle, desperately hoping he would catch up with Roxy and her band of potluck warriors.

Rainbow Flash was moving fast as she could, she sent a dagger and it thudded into the wall next to one of the evil's heads. A warning, It sailed back into it's strap and she glared at them. "Not to smart are you?"

Feeling the sting of Visi's electrick shock hitting him square on the rump, Razz veered off into an open corridor and came out into the castle's courtyard. He clattered across the stone yard and raced into the stock room, overturning the shelves as he ran. Then he raced into the kitchen, amazed at his own speed. Then he ran into a small kitchen closet, running smack into the wall.
No!
He scurried around, running back out.
Gotta get out, gotta get out!
He flew as fast as his hooves would carry him to the far side of the room and slide right into the giant fireplace. In desperation, he began to climb up the chimney, bracing his feet against the wall as he climbed into the tight space.
------------------------------
Visi and Fernando were climbing over the overturned shelving unit when they finally got into the kitchen.
"Great Dark!" Visi cried. "Where did he go!!!"

Neve turned to face the new threat as Visi and Fernando went charging after Razz. She shook her head violently, daring the newcomer to come and fight her. "Metallic trinkets the best you got?" she asked. Then she charged, horn lowered. She seemed to split into two rampaging mares, first one lunging, then the other, but the first was a decoy and the second one hit, momentarily knocking the mare aside as Darkie and Silverfall came galloping up the hall.
"Go! Hurry!" Neve shouted to them. "I can handle this one."
So the two went off swiftly after Visi and Fernando.

Rainbow Flash ahd dealt with a number of enemies, but never anything like this. She jumped, grabbing a cieling beam and swing herself into a crouch up on top of it. "Trained since one year old and still learning." she grunted as she got her breath. "But I do have quiet the store of information on fighting techniques."

"You show me yours, and I'll show you mine." Neve smiled sweetly, though it would have tingled the hairs on any pony's head. She paced beneath the rafter, eyeing her prey.
--------------------------
Razz scrambled weakly at the wall and tried to maintain his perch in the chimney pipe, but his way was blocked by the anti-birdie grate.
Stuck, stuck, stuck!
Then his footing began to slip.
Wait, wait, wait!
And he slid to the firepit below.
-----------------------------------
Plumes of black soot feathered the air and showered the floor in front of the fireplace as Visi and Fernando were searching the kitchen. There in the black puddle sat Razz, totally covered in black soot and coughing.
Visi approached him. With ears flat and teeth bared, he said in a low voice. "I owe you this." Then he spun around, kicking Razz square in the temple, knocking him cold.
Darkie and Silverfall had just caught up to them. Silverfall gave a small start toward Razz, but caught herself. She glared at Visi and he glared back.
"Come on," he said to them, and motioned to Darkie. "Bring him. He will be quite useful, I think." Silverfall stamped her foot as if to disagree, but Visi gave her another cold, hard stare. Then he pushed past her, making his way back into the corridor. Fernando followed him, bursting past Darkie and Silverfall with an exhuberant grin. Darkie spared Silverfall a glance, but picked up Razz and began walking away. She stood there for a moment, then followed him.. Her eyes were dark and brooding.

((Moony will catch up later. What time of day is this?)) A dark purple unicorn calmly walked out from the shadows, blocking Visi's path. He glanced at each member of the group briefly, feeling a certain darkness coming from a couple of them. He noticed Silverfall and Razzaroo, who looked in bad shape, amoung them, though he acted as though he didn't recognised them which was completely the opposite. Actually, his eyes and face showed no feeling at all, but relief, worry, anger and hatred began to burn within his soul. The familiar feeling began to trickle into his memory... Silver Shadow turned his gaze to Visi. He had no intention of being nice towards Visi, but he wanted answers. "And will you be as kind as to tell me where are you going?" He said cooly. ((...You can pick a fight with him or not. Be friends or whatever. I don't really mind. He'll fight back... eventually ))

(OOC: Must be early afternoon, in time with the main battle...)
Visi sized the other stallion up.
"To the throne room," he said quite plainly.
Silverfall did not look up, but hung her head.
"Well, are you just going to stand there, or are you going to get out of my way?" Visi asked.

Rainbow Flash moved quickly, as Neve paced below she struck out with her hoof and kicked teh evil mare in the head.

Neve stumbled against the blow, her head hanging down between her hooves as she tripped sideways. She regained her footing and laughed dryly, her mouth curved up in a grin as she relished the pain throbbing near her temple. Her horn flickered momentarily with a blood-red light, then she turned her red eye upward. A slight trickle bled down her face, staining the fur that was already the splattered color of blood on snow.
"Again," she snarled.
(OOC: Is your character still on the rafter? I assume she leapt down? Did she leap up again? I just wanted to know where she is as I battle her...)

A selection of elementals, mainly gnomes, sylphs and sprites, watched nearby, grinning and glancing back and forth at the stallions. Silver Shadow felt their presence, but didn't turn his head to see them, just in case it looked suspicious.
"The Throne Room." Silver Shadow tilted his head slightly, considering, while studying Visi. I better stay with Silverfall and Razzaroo... Even though I don't like the look of the ponies they're with... I wonder why Silverfall isn't trying to get Razzaroo away from them... "Then I might as well come along since the Throne Room is also my destination." He stepped aside, but remained staring at Visi. "Unless you have any objection..."
He directed this thoughts to the elemental creatures. See those ponies here... No, not the silver unicorn and the purple stallion, I mean the other ones. If they make a wrong move or anything along those lines... you know what to do. They all nodded and grinned, showing unusual pointy teeth, before dispatching and picking one pony to keep an eye on. Naturally, the magority of the gnomes watched the stallion who was carrying Razzaroo closely.

Visi considered this for a moment, then nodded. "Fine," he said, striding forward. In the hallway ahead, Neve was still battling the other pony. Visi led the group right by them. Darkie put himself between Silverfall and Silver Shadow as they walked.
Neve was preparing for another lunge when suddenly the whole castle began to shake. She slid into Visi and turning nearly rammed her horn into his eye.
"Watch out!" he yelled.
"What was that?" Neve asked.
"They are destroying the throne room," Silverfall said quietly. She spared a glance at Silver Shadow, but he wasn't looking.

Silver Shadow had no objection to Darkie being between him and Silverfall because he spent that time pondering over the question why Silverfall didn't get Razzaroo away, and not once in all that time did he glance at Silverfall. Every now and then, he would glance at Razzaroo, just to be sure that he was breathing or tried to call him through thought, but that didn't seem to have any effect. The gnomes, however, perched themselves onto Silver Shadow's where they could keep a closer eye on Darkie.
Silver Shadow looked around wildly when the castle began to shake. The laughing gnomes fell off Silver Shadow's back before getting up and running around the group like crazy. The sylphs and sprites crowded around Silver Shadow as if they where trying to protect him, but at the same time, they where trying to describe the one who caused it.
"Might as well go to the Throne Room and take a look." He said finally before turning his head in Visi's direction. "Though, since you seem to be the leader, you can make the decision."

"Darkie! Fernando! Quickly now!" Visi payed the strangers little heed as he shouted his commands and raced to the throne room. Darkie and Silverfall hurried to keep up, but not before Silverfall spoke quickly to Silver Shadow.
"The time draws near," she said. "Prepare yourselves for battle." Then she was gone, following the others.
