Chapter 2: Where am I?

"Come on Twilight, give me ten more!"

"Rainbow Dash, I have already done 100 push ups. Can I have a break?" Twilight complained. "Not until you finish your push ups. You may be strong in magic, but in order to be a strong princess, you need to be strong physically as well. Now ten more please." Raindow Dash said. "Ugh, fine."

Just as Twilight was about to finish her work out, Spike came up in full on panic mode. "Twilight! Twilight!" Twilight responded, "Spike, what is it?"

"Letter...Celestia....Urgent!" he yelled. "Um, equish please." said Rainbow Dash. Spike responded annoyed , "Just read the letter." Twilight then opened the letter, which read.

Dear Twilight

There is some thing urgant you and your friends need to do. Me and Luna just felt a strong surge of magic recently. We don't know what it is, or where it came from. But I want you and your friends to find out what happened, and report back to me. I want to make sure there is no threat to my little ponies. A good place to start looking would be the Everfree forest. Since strange magic occurs there often. I have faith that you will find out what is going on.

Princess Celestia

"Rainbow Dash, go get Applejack and Fluttershy." Twilight said. Rainbow Dash saluted, "On it." She then flew off. Twilight then told Spike, "Spike, you go get Rarity and Pinkie Pie." "You got it." he said, running as fast as his little feet could run.

"I better get ready." Twilight concluded.

Meanwhile, Back at Joel

"Ugh my head." The first thing I felt since my black out was the strong pain in my head. Too tired to get up, I decide to lay where I was for a little.

After about I think was 30 minutes, I get up to see my surroundings. "Why am I in a desert? I was just in a jungle." I don't know how, I don't why this happened. But I think I have just been put somewhere else.

I was in a desert, not like a Sahara desert, but more like a California desert. Cause all I could see were rocks. I then checked my back pack to see if every thing was still in there. "Whew, still have every thing. And with all the food and water I have, I should have enough for 5 days."

I then checked the battery level of my i pad. "Ok, 95%. The good, but there is no signal. Thats just great. Well better not just sit around. I better walk around to see where the heck I am. Maybe I'm close to civilization." I then packed up my stuff and started walking.

Surprisingly, it wasn't very hot out. This really confused me since the land was dry. What also confused me is how colourful the place was. It all seemed brighter, like it was made of pastel. I was even more colourful myself. This definitely proves that this is not earth. Or I am just really high.

After about an hour of walking, I find a cave. "That looks like a nice place to rest. Lets just hope it's not full of snakes." I then enter the cave. The first thing I relize is that this cave has a green glow with it. "I don't know if I should be here. I'm pretty sure caves don't glow green."

Click.

"What was that?!" I just heard a clicking sound nearby me. It sounded like an, insect? "I'm getting a bad feeling about this place. And do hear hoof steps, and buzzing."

I turned on my flashlight to see what was coming. "Ok, who's there? Show your self!" Right on cue, a dozen pony bug creatures come out of the shadows, staring at me. "Stay back, whatever you things are." I said in a not so threatening tone.

The creatures looked like a bug crossed with a horse, or ponys because of their size. With their horns reaching up to the middle of my stomach. They had blue eyes and black skin. They had small bug like wings that let them fly, and fangs from their mouth. They also had cheese holes that go through their legs. Basicaly, I have never seen these things before, and I was kinda scared. Mainly because of the fangs.

Suddenly, one of the smaller ones flys right up to my face. At this point, I was breathing hard. What was it doing? Was it studying me, or distracting me so that the others could attack. Etheir way, I didn't want to find out. So I booked it.

"AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!" I screamed, running out of the cave. I could hear them flying towards me, so I hid behind of rock.

All went silent. the only thing I could hear was the steady beating of my heart. I peeked over the rock to see if they were still there. The bug thing were at the entrence at the cave looking around for me. They soon gave up and went back in. That same small one though stopped and looked back one more time, then followed the others.

"Ok, this is definitely not earth. If this isn't earth than, where am I?" I decided to get as far away as possible from that cave.

Back with the Main Six

"So, what does Princess Celestia want us to do again?" Applejack asked.

Twilight answered, "She and Princess Luna felt a strong surge of magic recently. They don't know what it is, or what caused it. So they want us to look for the source and see if it is a threat."

"So where do you suppose we should start looking darling." asked Rarity. "Well, the Princess said we should check out the Everfree forest first. Since the place is full of strange magic. So that's the place we should start looking." Twilight concluded.

Fluttershy started to shiver now. "Do we have to go in there?"

"Sorry Flutters, we have to. But don't worry. No creature is hurting anypony as long as I'm around." Rainbow Dash reassured her.

"Yeah! Plus it's not the creatures you have to worry about. It's the poison joke that's the problem. When they made me not able to talk, it was like a nightmare." Pinkie Pie added.

"Well than come on girls. The princesses are counting on us. We must not fail." Twilight said. The rest of the girls nodded and started to leave.

"Hold on. What about me?" Spike asked.

"Don't worry Spike, you can do something too. Can you take care of the castle for me?" Twilight asked. "Sure thing Twilight." Spike said enthusiastically.

"Come on Twi, hurry up!" called Rainbow Dash.

"Coming."

Later

"Find anything yet girls?" Twilight asked.

"No." They all answered.

"Well keep looking. There has to be something around here." Suddenly, a fowl smell came around.

"Sniff, sniff. Oh no." "What is it Applejack?" asked Rarity. "You all smell that?" Everyone nodded. "I know that smell anywhere. Thats is the smell of."

Just before see could finish her sentence, 10 timber wolves jumped out of the bushes and surrounded them.

"Timber Wolves! AAAAGGGGGHHHH!" they all screamed.

Earlier, back with Joel

"Ha. Who knew a forest would be nearby a desert. This place is weirder than I thought."

Though it was nice to be out of the desert. Something about this place felt odd. Like a supernatural odd.

"AAAAGGGGGHHHH!" I suddenly heard a bunch of screams from nearby, which all sounded like girls. I ran as fast as I could to the direction the screams came from. I didn't have to run long, because I had just found what was happening. There were six colourful ponies, which I have to say were pretty cute, surrounded by what looked like wood wolves.

"Hey you! You leave those little ponies alone!" I yelled, taking out my machete. They weren't really interested in me, so they only sent one wolf at me. It jumped at me, but I was ready. I ducked and stabbed the wolf right in the chest. It howled in pain and broke into a bunch of sticks. The wrest of the them looked at their fallen comrade, then looked at me, growling.

"I hope I make it out of this one." I thought.
