//------------------------------// // Chapter Two: The Boggly Woods (Part One) // Story: Scootaloo & Sweetie Belle: The Thousand Year Door // by Mister Phoenix //------------------------------// Chapter Two: The Great Boggly Woods Scootaloo, Sweetie Belle and new found friend Doomie journey through the underground of Rogue Port, the dirty water splash when they step. Flies flew in the air, the pathway to the Thousand Year Door was cleaner by only a little. The dirty green water still made it on the path, while Sweetie Belle complain Doomie wondered on anypony could live down here. The room of the Thousand Year Door beside the spiders and monsters that the team defeated. Was nice to a point, the group stood on the giant stone circle, with it glowing the Crystal Star from Blue Scale. Went to the first small circle the blue star shined brightly, with the map showing the where the next Crystal Star is. While the first one return back to Sweetie Belle. The map show a black truck tree with snow white leaf's, it pop into the picture which left the three in confusion. Scootaloo and Sweetie Belle stared at Doomie, who was also left to wonder. "What? Don't look at me, maybe Flower Break should have something to share with us. About our new place" Doomie said with the fillies nodding. Back at Flower Break's house The Earth pony stallion, was in deep thought at where the map is sending the small but weird team of four. "Emmm.....Hmmmm......HMMMMEMMM...." Flower Break made the strange sound. "Yes, The Great Tree is where the next Crystal Star is which can be found in The Boggly Woods" Flower Break spoke, to the three. "Anything helpful 'Break?" Scootaloo asked bluty with made Sweetie punch her in the arm. "Ow!" Scootaloo cried out "Yes, the The Great Tree is home to the creatures known as The Breeze's. It also a great site to see. The Crystal Star being in the tree is confusing to say the less, in the Rogue Port Sewers should be a pipe leading to The Boggly Woods." Flower Break explain to them "Do you know where this pipe is?" Sweetie question "I'm sorry child, but only The Breeze's know the way in and out. You just have to hope that luck is on your side" Flower Break said, which made the others worried. "Well we'll find this pipe, right girls?" Doomie said, soon questioning the two worried fillies. "Yeah Doomie, you're right. We'll find this pipe" Scootaloo said getting rid of her worries. Sweetie Belle nodded with a smile, bidding Flower Break a farewell. The Rogue Port Sewers, the team journey on the ground away from the muddy water the smell filled the air. Doomie bit his lip a little too hard. "Ow!" He cried out, causing the two crusaders to stop in they tracks. "Ya alright Doomie?" Scootaloo question "It just this smell. It bad for you two but it horrible to me" Doomie said, with him letting out a cough. "We better just switch you with Flower, until you are feeling better" Sweetie Belle said, with Doomie nodded in agreement. Scootaloo open the bag to have Doomie go in and Flower Teller come out, with her letting out a little yawn. Flower rubbed her tired eyes with one of her hooves. Looking at the pair, she blink at them, while Scootaloo put on the bag. "Huh, my turn already? Alright then" Flower Teller said, letting out a small yawn. The three fillies travelled until they saw a small creature before it ran through a small crack in the wall. Giving chase, the three trap the creature that looked like a breeze in a corner. "Please don't hurt me! Wait are you three bullies?" The breeze question, causing Scootaloo to smile. Sweetie was about to answer before Scootaloo cut her off by going first. "Guess again nerd!" Scootaloo said, Sweetie Belle pushing her away. "I'm sorry about Scootaloo. We are not bullies. My friend was just making a not funny joke" Sweetie Belle said, glaring at the orange pegasus. In return Scootaloo stuck her tongue out. "Alright then. Hello I'm Seabreeze, I came here looking for great warriors to help me save my friends and love one. But I guess I have to take you three" Seabreeze said, Scootaloo eyes widen in shock. Sweetie and Flower held the pegasus back while Seabreeze laughed. "I'll show you, where the pipe to my home The Boggly Woods is" Seabreeze said. The three follow Seabreeze until they stopped at a green pipe, which Seabreeze went into with Flower, Scootaloo, and Sweetie following a little after. The three landed in a thump. On the dark purple ground mix with the white and dark colours, the tree's leaves are coloured white while the ground is a mix of purple, black and white. With the sun set in the background it was a site to see. "YOU FOOL!" A female voice cried out in a rage. The three follow where the voice was with Seabreeze following them closely behind. Adagio, Aria and Sonata stood in the middle of the woods, the four hid behind a rock listening in to the talk. "You fool!" Shouted Adagio at Sonata "You had one job. Look after a piece of paper, but it seems like you can't even do that right!" Adagio yelled at her sister more. "But, I found this pretty necklace" Sonata said, her eyes full with tears at her sister cold words. "No one cares Sonata!" Aria told her, with Sweetie holding Scootaloo back. "We just can't you with anything, or you'll screw it up. Like you always do!" Adagio said making Sonata cry. Scootaloo ran up to the crying siren, with a worry look in the filly eyes. "Oh you're worried about me? I'll be fine, I just lost something. I'm just a screw up" Sonata said making Scootaloo step back in shock. "Scootaloo let's go!" Sweetie Belle said, forcing her friend to leave the siren side. "Thank you for caring" Sonata whispered Once the group was far enough away from the three siren the group look at Scootaloo with anger in their eyes. "Are you crazy!" Flower Teller yelled out "What? She was hurt, I was trying to be nice" Scootaloo said to them. "You don't be nice to those, they are Sirens. Dangerous creatures that I hope we wouldn't run into" Flower said, Scootaloo looking at the ground. "Look those three are here for a piece of paper. We got our misson they got theirs. Let just say away from them" Sweetie said, just when the group came close to The Great Tree. Seabreeze looked at the front door seeing the light is red. Having him let out a cute little frustration dance. "Darn it, the door is locked. Maybe if we get help from Miss Dawntail, she should help us find the secret door" Seabreeze said. "Let me guess, she's at the end of the woods" Scootaloo said, with Seabreeze nodded in agreement. Walking to the end of the woods was tiring but because of the cool breeze and pretty colours. The place was more peaceful than chaotic. A small size house at the end of the woods once the girls got in there. They fell on the red colour chairs, resting their tired hooves. While the fillies rested on the the chairs Seabreeze went close to the door. "STOP RIGHT THERE!" A female voice cried out. "I'm sorry but I lost my necklace, I simply can't leave without it!" The female voice said, through the walls. Scootaloo rolled her eyes while Sweetie looked worried. "Umm... Those Sirens was it? They got the necklace" Sweetie said, causing them to rush out the house. "Be sure to return it!" The woman said Sonata dried her tears away with Adagio still mad at her sister. "You lost the paper! Agghh how are we meant to know where those fillies are!" Adagio cried out, dropping the paper. Adagio looked at it in shock; with a picture of Scootaloo and Sweetie Belle on it. "You're lucky I found this paper that you lost!" Adagio said "But you had the-" Sonata started "Shut up Sonata!" Aria said, with Adagio letting out a gasp. "Wait it them those fillies from before" Adagio said just when Scootaloo, Sweetie and Flower arrived. 'Oh it that pegasus again! But I have to side with my sisters' Sonata thought, her eyes locked looking at Scootaloo. "I'm Adagio, the leader and the most beautiful one of us!" Adagio boasted "I'm Aria, the strongest one" Aria said getting ready for battle. "Then there's are weak and ugly sister Sonata Dusk" Adagio said, making the blue Siren look away. These are The three deadly Siren Adagio, Aria and Sonata. The legend says that they used to full ponies hate towards each other. Causing fights and wars against everypony at that time. Adagio Dazzle: she's the leader and more in touch with her magic able to summon a blizzard and each of them share The Song of The Siren. More powerful when used together. Aria Blaze: she's the tough one having both The Song of The Sirens and the power of thunder on her side. She's the strongest and the one you want to take down first. Because she next to her two sisters she able to take full control of The Song of The Sirens. Sonata Dusk: She's the youngest of the three and get made fun of by her two sisters. Able to use the power of fire and with all three Sirens out their song is going to hurt. A lot.... Wait is she cuter then me? "Ahhhh" Adagio started to sing. The Crystal Star started to glow, growing large enough to where they could sit on it. The Crystal Star grew larger and larger to the point it started smashing the ground in repeat. The Sirens got weaker by the attack, with Adagio taking the most damage and Aria taking the less. Shielding herself, Scootaloo held her head and eyes shut while the icy wind blow through them. Just to have a thunderbolt almost hit Sweetie, following up by a fire attack from Sonata. Scootaloo took out her hammer to smack Adagio making the Siren to fall down in defeat. "Keep on going my sisters" Adagio said, lying on the floor. Follow up with Flower knocking out Sonata Dusk with well bounce and Aria with a jump from Sweetie. "New plan sisters!" Adiago said, having the two Sirens look at her. "RUN AWAY!" She cried out with the two following soon after. Causing Sonata to drop the necklace. The group let out tired moans, walking all the back to the end of The Boggly Woods to give a necklace back to a pony who wouldn't help them, save creatures! It was functioning, smoking at the ears anger. Scootaloo knocked at the door three times. "We got your necklace!" Scootaloo said leaving outside the door. "Yes. Yes, perfect!" The female voice said. The room went darker with the lights going dim, just to have a disco ball come out of the roof to light the room pink. The door open for a griffin with dark gray feathers and her body being a dawn like colour. "Merci mes amis. Now I can help you while looking beautiful. I just know what will be even better, if I join you on your quest" the griffin said, with Sweetie and Scootaloo shaking their heads as no. "I'm Dawntail, actress famous all across Equestria this is the only way I can see them, my fans. Live, so I'm going with you two, comme elle de ne pas." Dawntail said. Unfortunately Dawntail Join The Party! This powerful but drama queen of a griffin can blow bad guys away with her gust attack which also finds hidden door ways. Her claws are strong enough to cut through diamonds it too bad she wouldn't dare it may break a nail. Last is her hurricane attack able to beat the more stronger enemies at stand in the way. Scootaloo and Sweetie shared a looked of yet to be mused by the griffin. Hearing Dawntail talk how great of a actress she is through the trek back to The Great Tree. The Great Tree tower high tall with it white leafs and brown tree trunk. They climb on the tree truck to have Dawntail use her powerful wings to see another door with the words "Secret Entrance" Dawntail and Flower switch places for the griffin to get her beauty sleep. They travel seeing the words "TMC" on the wall. "Huh?" Seabreeze wondered A gray pegasus colt with a black mane wearing a red cape and a blue mask stood on the ground, his cape blowing in the wind, created by the fan sitting next to him. "Oh, great this guy again" Scootaloo said with a eye roll. “Well at less he has his mask this time” Sweetie Belle stated "Greetings, we meet again for the second time out of two." "It's twice." Sweetie corrected. "No, I think he's right." Flower said. "Second is two anyway, he's just being weird." Scootaloo said. "Whatever. Now where was I? Oh, Right! Ahem... fear not, I, The Masked Crusader..." "More like The Masked Dork." Scootaloo whispered with Sweetie giggling afterwards. "Hey my mom spend hours making this! I mean, I am the night, I am the umm.... Shoot I forget my speech. Darn it!" "Do you need help?" Flower asked. "N-no! I just need to check something." He said, turning around and opening a pink backpack. "Now where are those flash cards." He wondered. "Ugh, let's leave before he notices we're gone." Scootaloo whispered to Sweetie and Flower, both nodding as they sneaked away. "Aha, there they are. Anyways... I am a dazzling shadow of the ni-" He stopped, noticing no pony was there. "Oh come on!"
