As my eyes adjusted to the murky atmosphere inside, they can to rest on an older mare, just as red and black as the rest of the ponies there. She smiled a wise smile worn by years of wisdom. "Ah, come in my child. Super Trampoline, I've heard much of your exploits in the future." Her voice was dulcet honey to my ears.

"I'm glad to hear that, but how can you know about what hasn't happened yet, Miss..."

A chuckle. "My name is Midnight Shadow Blood Rasor (typo included) Blender Walmart Bad OC Steve Crunchy Rafflesia. But you can call me Steve. And I know much, including your destiny, young grasshopper. I also know your mission. Would you like to hear it?"

I sat attentively before her. "Yes, Master Steve. I have been brought across time and space to this plateau to save your peoples. Tell me how I shall accomplish this.

She coughed. "I am the very first red and black alicorn OC, created by accident way back during G1.5. I have seen many sights and taken many lovers during my time here on Equiis. That's why my name's so long, by the way." But the queerest happening my eyes has witnessed is the rise of the Mare E-Sues. These rogue Alicorns are jealous of our black and redness, believing only they alone are perfect enough to bear the title of Mary Sue. They have been hunting us down and poisoning us with incurable sicknesses. Only the Magical Elixir of Wellness can save us, but there is a catch."

"What's the catch?" I asked.

"The Elixir is so pure that were one of us perfect black and red alicorn OCs were to wield it, it would be too much pureness in the world and the elixir will decay so that the world is not destroyed by he or she that wields it. That's where you come in. We need a pony who is still pure of heart, but not quite a Mary Sue to wield the Magical Elixir of Wellness on our behalf. You're dating Applejack, and more importantly aren't an alicorn OC, so you aren't a Mary Sue. So dearest Super Trampoline, will you wield the Magical Elixir of Wellness and cure our peoples?"

I opened my mouth to answer, when suddenly...
