//------------------------------// // Chapter 2: Hello Irrisen, Good Bye Ponyville (Revolves Around Twilight) // Story: Pathfinder // by Cute H Unknownia //------------------------------// There was a blinding flash of light, and then Twilight found herself standing with just her friends, and Spike, near the edge of a snowy, creepy place. "It's Irrisen! Don't go in!" Applejack warned. "Yeah, the government is witches and an evil queen!" Rainbow agreed. But Twilight was getting sucked into it! "I'm getting pulled in!" So they were forced to go into the creepy, dank Irrisen. It was snowing, and making the ponies and Spike shiver. They were trying to find real food, but there wasn't any, so they had to make Twilight summon some, but that didn't go as planned. The food came alive, so Rainbow and Fluttershy had to make a Tornado around them, Applejack had to put a lasso around it, Twilight had to zap it away with her magical powers, and Pinkie and Rarity, I don't know what they did. "Good work everypony!" Twilight congratulated them. They all congratulated each other after that, and then they went on their way, I don't know where their way was, but they went on it. They walked through the deserted lands, no houses, rotting trees, no food, all evil. It was probably quite disturbing for Fluttershy, but everyone else was doing fine. They took twists and turns hoping to find food, but they couldn't find any. Twilight started trudging along, her head held low. "We wouldn't be here if it weren't for me getting sucked into here." Twilight sighed "Oh, come on Twi! Look on the bright side of things!" Pinkie reassured her. "The bright side that we don't have any food, are stuck in a land only Applejack and Rainbow know, WAIT! That's it!" Twilight exclaimed. "Rainbow, Applejack, is there any food in Irrisen? And if so, where?" "Well, there is food." Rainbow answered cautiously. "But it's in the queen and witches court." Applejack added. "We've got to go there!" Twilight said "But there are many monsters that block the ca-" Applejack was cut off "Oh, you cute little thing!" Fluttershy said. "I'd love to bring you home." "Well, now we have one on our side!" Twilight said, relieved. "We'll just let Fluttershy do all the work, so the strong one can stay rested for when we really need her." Rainbow sighed a sigh of happiness. "The strong ONE?" Applejack questioned annoyed "Well, the strong-EST one." Rainbow Answered They continued babbling until Twilight stopped them. "Way to go Twi!" Pinkie congratulated. "Oh my Celestia!" Twilight exclaimed. "WE LOST SPIKE!" "Oh no! That cute little thing!" Rarity cried. "He was my favorite dragon!" "He was the only dragon you knew." Twilight said. "But he was very cute." Fluttershy added. But they figured they'd run into him later, so they continued their quest. Fluttershy continued to tame monsters and they continued to follow her, making an army, they would do whatever she or her friends wanted them to. Finally there was a big monstrous dragon, which Fluttershy was afraid of, Applejack and Rainbow told the creatures to attack the dragon, and with all the Mane 6 besides Fluttershy working too, the dragon lay helpless on the ground. "Don't trample him, please." Fluttershy asked the monsters. Except, the castle was hidden, so the ponies couldn't find it, the monsters didn't even remember so that was no use. They continued walking until nighttime struck, and they all went to bed. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "It doesn't have to end this way." Twilight said. "But it will!" Princess Celestia answered "Mwahahahaha!" And with that, Celestia flew away laughing, Thunder following her. "No! I will return you to your old good self!" Twilight sighed. Twilight trudged back to her palace, which looked a gloomy grey in the night. "Spike, take a note." Twilight flopped into bed. "Dear Princess Luna, its hard holding back Celestia, and I'm trying, with all my force, but I don't think I will stand much longer, Beware of the game." ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Twilight woke up, she yawned in her sleeping bag. "Hey, Twi, I didn't know you would be up this early!" Pinkie exclaimed. "I know we'll find the castle today, I just know it." Twilight said "And Why'd you say this early? Looks like 8:00 A.M to me!" "Well, the time in Irrisen is different then the time in our world, so its really 6:00 A.M here when it looks like 8:00 A.M in our world." Pinkie answered. Soon everypony else woke up and they went on their way. "Um, guys, how'd we get sleeping bags, we slept on the bare ground last night." Rarity said. "Well, who cares?" Pinkie asked. "It's not all that bad if we got sleeping bags for nothing." Suddenly, the 6 ponies got yanked into the castle. "Hey! You guard who yanked us in here! I wanna battle!" Rainbow did some fake karate. "Eenope." The guard said. "Big Mac!" Applejack nearly jumped out of a guard's arms. "What're you doin' here?" "I've always worked here, under the great queen, why?" "Cause your my big brother!" Applejack exclaimed. "Well in our world, at least." "I've always lived in this world." He answered and stopped at a door."Stay here, with the guards." They waited for about 3 minutes, and then Big Mac came out. "The queen says you may come in." Big Mac said They followed Big Mac into the throne room, then they stopped. "Princess Celestia?" Twilight asked "Make that Queen Celestia, dear."
