Tornado continued to follow Sunstar and the others, keeping his eyes open for any more trouble.

By this time, Bellrock's followers had been soundly defeated and had retreated. Battlefield dusted himself off and reloaded his shotgun.
"We need to get moving," he said. "Come on." He motioned for everyone to get moving.

Cobra shifted back to his normal form and fell into step with Aurora and Starlight.
Sunstar knew where to go. She led Bellrock up to the northern tower and went toward a bookcase. pulling out a yellow book and a black book, the bookcase slid aside with a groan. On a shelf rested the Heart. Sunstar put her hand up and Bryons spells disolved. The Heart glowed softly. Sunstar felt the rush of power flowing through her. She sighed in relief. Her body took on a faint golden glow as her long red hair rose to flow in its own wind. she opened her wings were new feathers sprouted along the edges of her wings. Her horn remained the same, save for gaining a sparkle. It felt good to have it all back. Turning to the Heart which had shriveled up, She reached for it.

Battlefield trudged on, hoping Bellrock's forces wouldn't attack again.
Bellrock watched in fascination as Sunstar acquired her full powers. "Impressive," he remarked. He looked at the shriveled heart. "It seems it's useless to me now." He looked back to the now fully powered Sunstar. "And it seems you have me at a disadvantage, Lady Sunstar."

Sunstar only grinned, "Appearances can be deciving. Even though it looks like a prune right now, the Heart is still quite powerful." Outside, the sun seemed to be brighter, "Allow me to dispell the illusion." The heart glowed white. when the light died down, Sunstar was holding a heart shaped clear ruby on a simple silver chain. Inside the ruby, one could make out a beating heart. "You may recognize it as what it once was, The Rainbow of Light. It was used by Starlight to seal Deathbolt inside of it. For one hundred years, my power held and protected it. The Rainbow of Light is no more. It was transformed into this, the Heart of Deathbolt."

Bellrock stared at the Heart. "My followers and I came to claim the Heart and it's power to ourselves," he admitted. He let out a little smile. "There's no chance I'm going to have it now, is there?"

"You guessed correct. The Heart is going into the Vault on Angel's Island." Sunstar smiled.

"Would you like to know why I wanted the Heart?" Bellrock smirked. "I'm sure I can tell you something my sister hasn't."
The group made it's way to the castle. "It's as cold as stone," Battlefield remarked. "I hate mountains."

"It is amazing how such a powerful source of light could be so corrupted." Tornado noted.
(OK, I'm missing something. If the rainbow of light was corrupted a century ago, what defeated Tirek and the other evils more recently?)

(Deathbolt was defeated a hundred years ago. With the way I see things, Tirak and the others were defeated by the Rainbow of Light before Deathbolt was.)
"It was only corrupted to hold Deathbolt's Heart," said Battlefield. "It was sacrificed to make sure his evil would never harm anyone again."

"It makes sense." Tornado replied grimly. "Then we must do all we can to make sure this heart does not fall into the hands of evil."
(And I'm married to one of the mares who defeated him, and she doesn't look any older- wow, ponies live an awful long time, lol! XD)

(Unicorns like Twilight live for a long time.)
"And we will," said Battlefield. "I didn't come all the way out here for nothing." He caught sight of the castle. "We're almost there. I hope Sunny's alright." He pushed on. "I guess this whole affair'll be another for the history books."

(lol, I know, I was just making a joke)
"Indeed." Tornado pulled out his notebook and pen. "I'll be along to help, of course. But my primary reason to be here is to record, so the herd will remeber your victory here."

(I know.)
"We're not there yet, So come on." Battlefield and the others made it to the front doors of the castle, which easily swung open."I sense Sunstar is upstairs. Follow me." He led the group upstairs.

"Right behind you!" Tornado replied, trotting up after him.
