"How come we aren't allowed to see the others?" Rainbow Dash asked.
"Because they have caught the 3.5 virus." Bumble replied. "We are worried that you might catch it. Besides, we need to get the cure for it before they die."
"So, this thing can kill them?"
"Yes."
"What will they become?" Bumble sighed.
"It is best if I showed you." Bumble pulled out a picture and handed it to Rainbow Dash. "This is what they will become before the virus begins to kill them." Rainbow Dash looked at the picture in horror.
"No. NO. NOOO! OH MY GOD! MY EYES, THEY BURN!" She bonked her head against the trees.
"Stop hitting yourself, Rainbow Dash." Fluttershy asked. "You'll get a headache."
"So, where do we have to go?" Pinkie asked Bumble.
"We need to go to my ancestor's laboratory." he replied. "Although, his primary lab was in Tamblion (which disappeared with the city), he kept his personal projects in his lab in this valley. The problem is that the jungle is covering up the lab entrance."
"Is that the lab entrance over there?" Pinkie Pie pointed over to a large metal thing covered with moss. Fluttershy went up to it and saw the Van Timidwing family crest on it. The crest was described as an iron helmet with red banners on top of a black square. On the black square was a white bunny. Bumble walked up.
"The Van Timidwing and the Timidwing's family crest." Bumble stated. "This is it." He began to brush off the moss. He looked at Fluttershy who was helping him out. "For some odd reason, Fluttershy, you kind of look like one of my ancestors when she was young. I'm probably sure it is just a coincidence." The four got the door open.
"It's dusty and dark in there." Fluttershy explained. "Anyone have a light?" Bumble brought out a yellow mushroom. He shook it vigorously and then the mushroom began to glow. "That'll work." The ponies headed inside. The laboratory was old Much of the machinery was rusted over anyway.
"Look at all of this stuff." Rainbow Dash stated as she looked around. She saw various cannons and weaponry among other things.
"Some of this stuff was not used since the Great Pony War." Bumble stated.
"Great Pony War?"
"It was a series of civil wars that happened among the ponies after the fall of Equestria."
"How long did this war occur?"
"At least two hundred years. Then, again, I know little about the war itself." They walked until they finally approached the medical bay. There were two hospital beds in the middle of the room. On one of them was a red book with silver binding. "Ah ha." Bumble ran to the book and picked it up. "I found the medic book. In case, we can't find the cure for it. At least, we have the book that will show us how to make the cure."
"That is if you can make it out of here." a voice stated. The door shut behind them. "I never expected you to follow me in here."
"Wait, so. Who are you?" A taller red kitsune appeared wearing very dark samurai armor appeared.
"Kumiho." Rainbow Dash stated.
"So you do remember me." the kitsune replied. "It's a pity you will have to die here. But don't worry, I have some friends for you to die with." The kitsune tossed to them the three samurai fillies all of which were unconscious.
"Oichi, Nene, Ina!" The kitsune laughed. "You… you have gone far enough." Rainbow Dash drawn her cross spear.
"If you wish to die now, then so be it." Kumiho drawn his lance and activated some of the robots in the laboratory. The robot drones looked like boxy drones that moved on one wheel. However, they moved with must ease. The drones turned to face the ponies.
"This is for all the people you have betrayed and the ones you have harmed."
The droids charged at the ponies. Fluttershy summoned Titan to help aid her in battle. Pinkie Pie had drawn her knives out. Bumble preferred to fight bare hoofed. The drones brought out their daggers to fight. They tried to hit Rainbow Dash and Bumble but every single one of them missed. Rainbow Dash charged straight for Kumiho and he blocked it.
Pinkie Pie kept jumping up and down on top of the droids. Slashing them down before the droids got a shot at attacking. Fluttershy's aeon kept stoning the bots with rocks not weed. Fluttershy just hammers on the droids. Bumble just kept on punching and kicking them. This was going on while Rainbow was fighting Kumiho.
"You have done your people wrong." Rainbow Dash stated. "And what was in it for you?"
"Money, Wealth, Power, Everything." Kumiho replied.
"You had a family that cared for you." Rainbow Dash broke through his defenses. "And you were going to give that away for material gain." She, then, stabbed him in the heart and cut some of his major blood vessels. "You should know treachery is always a bad deal with those who care." Then, she managed to kill him. Kumiho the traitor was at last dead lying in a pool of his blood as he dropped a blackish-red sphere from his hands. She looked at it and picked it up. "So, this is the element of treachery."
"Rainbow?" Fluttershy asked while the ponies still had to handle the droids. "Can you give us a hoof?"
"I'm on it." Rainbow Dash went to shut off the droids using a switch he found on the wall. The droids shut off. The ponies were finally able to stop fighting for a bit to catch their breath. Pinkie Pie looked around and found the medicine cabinet. She went over and opened it up and saw several vials with a blue liquid in it. At that time, the fillies woke up.
"Rainbow?" Ina asked. "Where are we?"
"You don't need to ask that now." Rainbow Dash stated. "You're fine now."
"Bumble," Pinkie Pie asked. "Is this the cure?" Bumble looked at the vials and looked at the book.
"That's the cure." He turned to the ponies and split up the cure. "Rainbow Dash, head back to the hospital in your world and tell them we have found the cure. Take the fillies with you."
"Got it." Rainbow stated. Bumble handed most of the cure to Fluttershy.
"Fluttershy, go take this to their hospital."
"Okay." Fluttershy replied.
"As for me and Pinkie, we will take this part of the cure to your friends."
To make a long story short: The 3.5 outbreak was prevented. The group was healed from their illness and the valley of outcasts was recognized as a kingdom of its own.
