	"So," Link said, "this is what Equestria considers a dungeon?  No traps, no puzzles, just an empty hallway."

"Don't jinx it!" Icicle exclaimed, "Who knows what Nightmare Moon had planned down here."  They walked on through the hall for what seemed a VERY long time.  Eventually, Starlit noticed that every five minutes or so, they would pass by a crystal on the wall that looked the same as the one they had just seen.

Starlit spoke up about this saying, "Has anypony else noticed that crystal on the wall?"

"Indeed I have Starlit."  Zelda stated, "I have also been detecting a source of dark magic behind the crystal."

"So we've been going in circles, oh joy."  Icicle said nervously.  "Well let's go ahead and see what's behind it before something else goes wrong."  As if on cue, the crystal disappears and the group find themselves in a circular room with one hallway for everypony along the wall.  Even stranger, each hallway had a name above it, the names of everypony in the room.

Icicle slightly whimpered as Link said, "So much for not jinxing it, Icicle."  

Icicle's face went red as he said, "You frickin' shut up.  Let's just go down the halls and see what happens."

And so they did, each to their own name to try and find the way into the deeper reaches of the dungeon.   Down Starlit's hall, she became icreasingly more worried as the ceilings and eventually walls began to drip with water.  Don't worry Starlit, everything's fine, it's just a little water. she told herself, There's nothing to afraid of down here.  In truth, the Element of Courage had only found one thing she was scared of, water.  It douses out fire, you can't fly with wet wings, and it turns to the cold stuff called ice when Frozen, she did not like to be cold.

Then Chironicus said into her head, Did you see that refference there, Starlit?  Oh, you probably didn't, but I can Let it Go.

She didn't get his 'refference', no one ever did, but she did begin to hear a rushing sound behind her.  By the time she had turned to investigate, however, a torrent of water hit her, sweeping her into a large pool area.  When she tried to swim out, the water froze around her legs so that she couldn't move, and thus she began to sink.  So this is it? She thought glumly, I'm going to drown down here, unless I can find some other way out.

Down Sorcerencis's hallway, she smelled something rather rotten coming from further down.  She had excpected to find something scary down here, knowing Nightmare Moon, not something that would gross her out.  Yet, she continued, and it opened up into a small room filled with a green glowing gas, but the gas was not what stank, it was what looked like a carcass in the middle of the room.  "Okay," she said nevously, "I need to get out of here."  She turned around and not only was the door gone, but the body was now right in front of her.  She screamed loudly and backed up in surprise, but it did not move any furthter.  She then cautiously approached to examine it, and upon recognizing whose it was, began to furiously weep.  In between the sobbing she would manage to say, "No, Chironicus, you can't leave me."

"Now this is a real dungeon!" Link exclaimed "Just like old times, eh Navi?"  Apparently Link, after walking a while down his hallway, met back up with both Navi and Zelda, and now had a small dungeon laid out before them.

"It sure is," Navi happily stated, "let's go kick some monster tail!"  as they continued into the dungeon, they eventually reached the boss room.  Inside was not a large monster for them to fight, however, what was in there was a mirror in which they could see both their world and Equestria covered in flames, darkness, and ruin.  A lone figure stood in the flames and, revealing to them a horrible and terrifying mask, said, "Do you really think you can stop this, Hero of Time?"

Icicle was fretting, every time he was alone something even unluckier than normal happened, as if the universe's supply of unlucky things poured directly onto him.  His suspicions were confirmed as a dark cloud of black began to come from both behind and in front of him.  After surrounding him, the smoke erupted into flames that sent him running as fast as he could down the hall screaming his lungs out.  Then he ran face-first into somepony, knocking himself over, when he looked up it was a black-eyed demonic version of Chironicus.  He backpedaled as fast as he could as the demonic pony said, "Hello Icicle, time to die." and lunged at him, making him black out.

Just then, all of them appeared in the room where the Crystal Blade was in it's holster, and the mane six and Vaati witnessed the three Hyleans having a face of despair, Sorcerencis sobbing and holding onto thin air, Starlit coughing up nothing, and Icicle having an all-out panic attack.  Vaati spoke up, "What are all you buffoons doing?"  

They all stopped abruptly and looked at Vaati with confused expressions.  Icicle then said, "Let's just get the sword and be out of here!"
So they drew and stowed away the sword, and then Vaati flew them out of the hole in the roof.  And as they were making their way back to Ponyville, Sorcerencis heard on the wind, I will never leave you, don't doubt your Changelicorn boyfriend.
