Lighting nodded. "Alright." He stood up, payed for their food, and exited the restaurant with her, walking by her side all the time.
Lightning started walking, making sure Sapphire was behind him. The cave was practically empty, and there were no signs that somepony was there.
"Yeah, I heard it also..." Lighting said calmly, even though he was nervous also. He walked closer to her to make her feel safe. "Lets go and see what it is." He said to her.
Lightning nodded and kept moving forward, walking close to her to protect her in case of an emergency. As they walked they saw more of those crystal creatures, but completely destroyed.
"Looks like it." Lightning said. They kept walking until they arrived to where they found Celestia, Darky and Luna in the crystals. In there they found a pair of guards unconscious.
"True..." he went to the crystals and touched them, but they were just an illusion. "What the...!" Lightning said, suddenly the room become dark.
Lightning went with her and hugged her. "Don't worry, I'm with you." He said but he was clearly nervous also. He then used a spell to light up the room.
The room got iluminated and the illusions were gone. Between the two guards that were unconsious, a small hole could be seen.
