A group of five thin, molecular looking enemies attack the group.
"What are those!" Twilight exclaims.
"Those are Mr. Molecules. They're basically living molecules." Ness chuckles. "It really doesn't surprise me that someone as studious as you would have them in your Magicant. One PK Fire ought to do the trick" Ness turns to look at the others. "Stand back. I don't want any of you to get hit by the flames. PK Fire γ!" Flames leap from Ness's fingertips, destroying the Mr. Molecules in a matter of seconds, frightening Fluttershy in the process, and startling everyone else except for Twilight.
"From here on, I want you to stay close to me, and I want you all to keep an eye out for anything that might be moving. And I mean ANYTHING. Known hazards include bears, dice, lips, eyeballs, tree stumps, walking bombs, and the molecule creatures we just saw. I want to keep you six safe, but I can't do that if an enemy manages to get to you first. And don't worry about me. I should be strong enough to handle anything that comes our way." Ness checks to make sure that they understand, and after everyone confirms that they do, he sets off at a run. "If we hurry, then we may not encounter anything else until we get to the camp, because it's harder to catch a running target than it is to catch a walking one." The rest of the group starts to run, too, and they run for about fifteen minutes, with Ness striking down anything and everything in his path with one or two swings of his bat, when Pinkie Pie notices a weird tentacle shaped object in the distance.
"What's that?" She asks. "Oh, wait, I know! It's a portal! Isn't it"
"I doubt it Pinkie," says Rainbow.
"Actually, she's right. This should take us to the camp at Lake Everfree." Ness says.
"But how do we get it to work?" Fluttershy asks.
"I believe that all we have to do is inspect it." Ness responds. "Twilight, I think you should do the honor."
Twilight approaches the tentacle, looking closely at it for a couple minutes, then turning towards the others. "It's not working."
"Maybe you should touch it. I forgot about your lack of PSI. Its what I used to get it to work when I traveled through Magicant."
Twilight turns back to the tentacle. She mentally builds her confidence before placing her hand upon the side of tentacle. Almost instantly, the group disappears and reappears up to their waists in water.
"That was FUN!" Pinkie exclaims.
"Maybe for you, but for me it was frightening." Fluttershy replies.
"We're not done yet. I can sense enemies up ahead, as well as something very powerful. I can assume that that would have to be Midnight."
"You'd be right, but we can't let you get to her." A voice says as a group of three seahorse looking creatures approach them, one colored purple, another light blue, and the third one being a yellow color.
"What in the hay are the Sirens doing here?!" Applejack asks skeptically.
"I don't know, but I'll handle this. PK ROCKIN Ω!"
The Sirens get hit by a massive burst of pure psychic energy, but it wasn't enough to defeat them. They respond by singing with their enchanted voices, trying to make Ness Feel Strange, but it failed to work.
"PK STARSTORM α!"
A slew of powerful meteors slam into the Sirens, defeating them in a matter of seconds. They fade away leaving a present, which contains a journal with an image of a baseball bat on the cover, which Ness takes.
"There's no turning back now, Twilight. Midnight is up ahead. Let's go."
The group starts to wade their way through the water working their way to an island located at the center of the lake, where voices see to be emanating from.
"Wait!" The group stops upon hearing Pinkie yell. "Isn't that Sunset's voice?"
