Everypony was still enjoying the Crystal Festival, but I decided to go the pond to relax. So, I left the festival to get some lone time.
When I reached the pond, I sat on a log to enjoy the scene. I still couldn't get the vision out of my head, my friends may worry I would be a pony going bonkers. I was also been thinking about the very first quest we got from Princess Twilight Sparkle. Since we were sent to stop Cozy Glow, we had a great opportunity to save Equestria. If we could do that, could we also save ourselves? I do know we can take care of ourselves through anything hard and dangerous, but can we also handle situations involving something very unpredictable? I didn't know what, but I did know God gave me the gifts to help me be special; he always has a plan for me, he's always there beside me whenever I need him.
While I was still enjoying the site of Bridlewood's pond, the rest of the defenders and the Mane 6 were approaching me.
"Special, what are you doing out here?" Izzy asked. "The festival is still going on for everypony."
"I know." I say. I just need some quiet time for a while."
"So do I." said Fruity Tooty. "Lots of excitement, but I need to relax for a while."
"Some of us will just join before we go back." said Sunny Starscout.
The Mane 6 were sitting at the pond with me. And, some of defenders were with us too: Ellagant Glare, Tangerine Twist, Joydan Gallop, Sharpy Gem, Daytime Darwin, Fearful Moe, Frosty Flavor, Bronze Feather, Violet Rosey, Rollette Slate, Fruity Tooty and Bubble Burst.
"I'm gonna go on a walk in the forest." Frosty told us.
Then, Frosty began to take a little hike in Bridlewood.
Frosty was strolling along the forest. She was seeing lots of plants and animals, she wanted to see something more cool. Until, she found a cave entrance, she began to go inside. The cave was a little long, but Frosty finally made to the end, which was only leading cave explorers to a dead end with a waterfall.
"This looks amazing." Frosty said. "I got to call Special about this."
She pulled out her phone and began to call me.
My phone began to ring, I answered the call.
"Hello?" I asked the caller.
The caller was Frosty Flavor.
"Special, I found a cave and it has a waterfall inside." said Frosty. "Why don't you come over and see?"
I agreed to see Frosty, I invited everypony else to come along.
We all met Frosty at the cave entrance. We followed her inside, but what we didn't notice is that something bad was going to happen soon, Sharpy Gem dropped a blue crystal from her saddle bag. Then, a beam of sunlight touched the crystal and bounced off into the cave, and following the ponies exploring the cave. Frosty took us to the waterfall and we all think it was amazing.
"Wow Frosty." said Fearful Moe. "This cave is amazing."
"I don't remember this cave, but I got to say, this sparkles." said Izzy Moonbow.
The cave reminded me of the cave from my vision, I feared it could be true for now. Then, the beam of light kept bouncing off more blue crystals along the way
As the beam was getting closer to us, Misty saw it.
"Hey everypony," Misty called to get our attention. "There's a blue beam of light over there."
We all discovered the beam, when it was still bouncing off the blue crystals. It was the same one from my nightmare, and I knew what's gonna happen next. Then, the beam was now aiming towards us, we got out of the way. But, the beam hit the waterfall, and with the water and blue light combined, they formed a big vortex. As the vortex was opening up, it began to vacuum us up.
"Oh no. The vision's coming true!" I thought to myself.
Frosty Flavor was being pulled in, me and my friends formed a chain out of ourselves. But, the vortex's suction power was pulling us in, we were slipping slowly into it. Sunny and her friends came to help us, but the vortex was still becoming bigger and bigger, me and my friends were still getting sucked in. The suction was too strong, my hoof was gonna slip off of Sunny's. Then suddenly, my hoof was gonna slipped off, leading me and the defenders were got sucked in. Such despair for the Mane 6.
Me and half of the defenders were swirling all around the tube of the vortex. But then, we finally reached the other end. The vortex lead us to a forest, and we landed in a giant puddle. when we got out, we couldn't go back because the vortex closes, leaving us lost on our way home.
"No, the vortex is closed." Fearful Moe cried.
"Man, we got lost." said Rollette Skate.
"I'm sorry everypony." Frosty Flavor replied. "I wouldn't have lead you all into the cave."
"We are lost, but we could've been goners, when we got sucked into the vortex." said Joydan Gallop.
"And we all got wet after we got out." said Sharpy Gem.
I was standing in a daze, my vision was true. The vortex infected by a blue beam of sunlight was my first sign of my friends in danger.
"Special, we are lucky and happy you're with us, so what can we do?" Ellagant Glare asked me.
I heard Ella's question. I didn't know what to do, but there was one thing they need to know.
"I don't know everypony." I replied. "But, here's what I do know: we'll be fine as long as we don't ever get far from each other."
"Okay." said Bubble Burst.
"Come on, everypony." We got to find some shelter until we find a way to get back home."
We all got out of the puddle and then, we began to walk through the woods to find some help.
Back in Bridlewood, Sunny, her friends, and the remaining defenders were back at Izzy's old house, talking about what happened.
"Special and the other defenders got sucked into a vortex made of water?!" Amber Lake asked.
"How did something like that happened?" Horseshoe Henry asked.
"Well, a beam was bouncing off of blue crystals, and then it pointed at the waterfall and the portal opened. Then, Special and the other defenders got sucked in, even we couldn't hold it much longer." Sunny Starscout explained.
"I got to tell everypony about this." Pipp Petals said when she pulled her phone to live stream about the problem.
"NO PIPP!!" said Zipp and Hitch.
"We can't tell anypony about this, the defenders' parents we be heartbroken when they know." Zipp told her sister.
"Now everypony, we don't know if they're alive, but we got to find a way to bring them back." said Sunny.
Everypony began to grab their luggage to get back to Friendship HQ and look for a way to find me and the others.
