The last the mares saw the island was when they were seventy feet away from it, when clouds blocks their view. But they were chemical clouds. The situation was getting worse so badly that time was almost out, that when the mares saw the cloud, they knew that in a matter of days, that Equestria will be destroyed.

"We have to find that potion, or we'll have to find new land." "Or say goodbye to our subjects." The sisters knew that time was running out. If the chemicals consume them too, they will die along with Equestria.

Sailing in the smoky clouds was very dangerous, but they had to do it, if it means dying in the process. But the potion was nowhere to be seen, according to the book, it floats on the ocean waters like a message in the jar, even the weight of the potion wouldn't sink it.

Wave after wave passed and the bottle nowhere in sight, and island after island was searched. But the potion was never found.

"I think I see another island!" Shouted Applejack, thunder and lighting was flashing and making Applejack's shout deaf to her friends, but Celestia heard the apple farmer to find a huge landmass in the clearing. They heaved the ships toward the landmass. But to their surprise, the beach looked familier, coughing ponies, many of them.

"Oh No! We returned to Equestria, the potion might not be here!" "Let's just look, maybe it swept up shore." Luna's idea then brought Twilight to lighten her spirits, but she knew that the ponies might follow. " Let's keep ourselves hidden for now, if we don't find the potion, then we'll go to Ponyville, we'll have to spread the tragedy."

So the search now was on the beaches, on by one searched for the cure. Each running into a problem.

"Crocodiles?!" Yes Crocodiles, in fact, the Reptiles had attempted to escape the chemicals, each one holding something their mouth. "Make them open their mouths." Instructed Twilight, then Pinkie Pie had started doing funny dances like some when she faced off Cheese sandwich. "Nothing, and that's the last straw." After that the mares sadly traviled to Ponyville.
