Back in the valley, the Mane 3 and the Cutie Mark Crusaders were still exploring the valley.
Then they came across an open gate. "What the hay happened here?" Applejack asked.
"Guys, it's off road" Rainbow said. "I think we should go back now" Rarity said nervously.
"I think we should investigate" Applebloom said. "It will be like an adventure" Scootaloo said.
"Yeah!" Sweetiebelle added. Applejack thought about it.
"Alright. But if we get in trouble, it's on you fillies" Applejack said and the CMCs cheered before they went through the gate and entered the forest.
Meanwhile, back at the Visitors Center, Claire was looking for Owen.
She walked through a Ponyraptor hologram of Blue.
But instead of Owen, she found Twilight and the others. "Twilight?" Claire asked.
Then, Twilight turned around. "Hi, Claire" Twilight said. "Claire" Owen said.
Claire sighed in relief to see Owen. "I need your help" Claire said.
"We" Twilight corrected, joining Claire's side. "Okay" Owen replied.
"Twilight's friends are out in the valley. Please, if anything happens to them..." Claire said, but then, Owen shushed her and pulled her to a better spot.
"What do they look like?" Owen asked. "They are..." Claire started, but Twilight stopped her.
"I got this" Twilight said to Claire.
"The first 3 are mares and the last 3 are fillies. Applejack is an orange coated earth pony with a yellow mane and tail and where's a cowboy hat. Her mane and tail are in braids. Rainbow Dash is a blue coated pegasus with a rainbow mane and tail. Rarity is a white coated unicorn with a curly indigo mane and tail. Sweetiebelle is Rarity's younger sister who is also a unicorn with a white coat and purple and magenta mane and tail. Scootaloo is a young pegasus who has an orange coat and purple mane and tail. Finally, Applebloom is Applejack's younger sister, who is also an earth pony with a yellow coat and red mane and tail. She where's a bow on her head" Twilight finished.
Owen and Claire were impressed and Twilight smiled.
Back with the the Mane 3 and CMCs, they had just entered the forest. "This is such a bad idea" Rarity said. "Oh, stop it, Rarity" Applejack said.
"We don't know what kinds of things lurk or live in this forest, Applejack. So, you must be careful" Rarity replied.
Then, they came around the corner of a tree and saw a group of Ponkylosaurus, a heavily armored dinopony.
"Now, look Rarity. Those guys are herbivores" Rainbow said. But then, Sweetiebelle saw something in the reflection of the gyrosphere, but nopony else noticed.
"Guys" Sweetiebelle said. "Yes, Sweetiebelle?" Rarity asked. "Look" Sweetiebelle pointed her hoof at the reflection, which was more clearer now.
The reflection showed some teeth. Then, the 6 slowly turned around to see the Dragomonstranator, which slowly began towering over them.
They had literally blank expressions on there faces. Then, the Dragomonstranator let out a thunderous roar, causing Rarity to scream.
"Go! GO!" Rainbow said to Applejack and she began to move the gyrosphere, but instead, the Dragomonstranator rushed forward, kicking the gyrosphere forward with his front foot in the process, shooting it forward.
The 6 screamed as they accelerated forward. It was like they were a pinball, bouncing off each Ponkylosaurus's armor as it went forward.
One Ponkylosaurus tripped and fell. Then, they finally stopped. Then, they watched in fascination as a Ponkylosaurus stood its ground.
The Dragomonstranator came and roared at the Ponkylosaurus.
"GO! DRIVE!" Rainbow shouted to Applejack and Applejack started moving the gyrosphere forward, but, instead, they drove right into the Ponkylosaurus's club tail.
The Ponkylosaurus accidentally hit the gyrosphere with its clubbed tail, launching the gyrosphere back.
The gyrosphere then collided into a tree, causing it to go upside down. Applejack tried moving the gyrosphere, but it wouldn't budge.
Then, they watched as the battle began. The Dragomonstranator charged, but the Ponkylosaurus smacked it in the face with its clubbed tail as he bent his neck down.
He quickly recovered and tried biting the Ponkylosaurus's back, but he couldn't because of the armor.
But then, the Ponkylosaurus swung its tail again, only missing the Dragomonstranator as he dodged it.
Then, the Dragomonstranator reached around the Ponkylosaurus, clawing its right back leg, causing the Ponkylosaurus to fall from its leg giving out.
Then, the Dragomonstranator rolled the Ponkylosaurus onto its back before delivering the final blow, which was him snapping its neck with his powerful jaws.
This caused everyone except Applejack and Rainbow to look away. "We're safe in here, right?" Rarity asked. "Yeah, totally safe" Rainbow said, still shocked.
"You heard what the pony said. This thing can protect us from everything" Scootaloo said. Then, Sweetiebelle saw something.
"Guys, look" Sweetiebelle pointed and everypony looked.
The Dragomonstranator was looking directly at them through the gyrosphere's front, letting out a scary, low pitched growl.
Everypony was scared to death, not knowing what it would do. Then, he raised his head up and spun the gyrosphere around with his claws, as if he were playing with it. Then, he brought the gyrosphere up right again.
Everypony watched as he easily punctured the gyrosphere's glass with his middle claw, the biggest claw on his hand.
"Okay, maybe I was wrong" Scootaloo said. He looked at them for second. Then, he opened his jaws, bringing them upon the gyrosphere.
The group screamed as he did. Then, he grabbed the gyrosphere in his mouth. The pressure from his bite caused his teeth to also puncture the gyrosphere's glass.
Then, with the gyrosphere in his mouth fully and he had a firm grip on it, he slammed it on the ground repeatedly, slowly breaking it, his breath fogging up the glass as well. Everypony quickly unstrapped there seat belts to get away.
Rarity and Sweetiebelle were the first ones to fall out because of a hole that formed in the back of the gyrosphere from the repeated smashing.
Then, Rainbow and Scootaloo followed, and finally, Applejack and Applebloom.
Just as the Apple sisters fell out of the gyrosphere, the Dragomonstranator raised the gyrosphere up to do another smash.
Quickly, Applejack and Rainbow sheltered the group and when it was done, they ran as fast as they could away, literally running for their lives.
Then, the Dragomonstranator freed the gyrosphere from his mouth, which was now totally destroyed, and let out a thunderous roar after the six.
Soon, the six ran out onto an open plain, still running as fast as they could for their lives.
They heard the Dragomonstranator stomping from within the forest before it finally appeared from the forest, breaking through the treeline.
They looked back at it and, in return, it saw them. It roared at them before it chased them.
"Oh for Celestia's sake!" Rarity cried.
"Keep them hooves moving, Rarity!" Applejack said back to her.
Then, they stopped dead in their tracks as they came across a small cliff and below was a pool of water.
They looked back to the Dragomonstranator, who was gaining on them.
"JUMP!" Rainbow said and her and Scootaloo jumped off the cliff and into the water.
Applejack and Applebloom followed, and so did Rarity and Sweetiebelle.
The Dragomonstranator arrived as soon as Rarity and Sweetiebelle were about to jump off the cliff into the water.
The Dragomonstranator extended out his neck with his jaws wide open.
They jumped and he snapped his jaws, only missing them by a few feet.
They plunged into the water, Rarity screaming as they fell down.
The Dragomonstranator looked off the short cliff, seeing if they were still alive, but they never appeared up to the surface.
Then, he let out a roar in irritation before he walked off.
The six breached the water's surface, relieved the Dragomonstranator left.
They swam to the muddy bank on the opposite side.
"What was that thing" Rainbow asked, getting up and out of the water.
"I don't know" Applejack replied, shaking off. "Whatever it was, it was scary" Scootaloo said.
"You can say that again" Applebloom said and the two burst into laughter from the repeated moment.
