> Daring Dash and the jungle of gyms > by DashieReviews > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- > Prologue > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- " Okay every pony, time for recess!" The teacher said, looking at the clock and opening the door for all the pegasi fillies to go out. " Yay!!" The class shouted, full of joy that it was their favourite time of day. They all ran outside and either got in their little girly groups of friends or where having a class game of hoofball. Rainbow Dash with the first to get out of class, speeding of to the sandbox where the most mysterious object towered over her.... The Jungle Of Gyms. " Three big enormous jungle gyms that have taken years to evolve from little kiddies things to the home of the school bully and his friends, Mr Meanie." Rainbow Dash said to herself, patting the top of a bucket and spade to make a sandcastle. KIDDIE PLAY PARK IS EVOLVING!!!! KIDDIE PLAY PARK HAS EVOLVED INTO JUNGLE OF GYMS!!!! "All the way up there, to see if you can complete the challenge? Just to get up there and you've completed the challenge?" Rainbow Dash said to herself grabbing her hat and placing it on her head. She got up and began her adventures in the first floor..... > Chapter 1 > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rainbow Dash stepped inside of the Jungle Of Gyms, awaiting for the traps that will be thrown at her. Rainbow Dash looked around, the place was deserted. No pony ever when into the Jungle Of Gyms. Only the bravest of fillies can ever accomplish such a task of conquering the structure. " I am no longer Rainbow Dash!" She shouted, putting on her saddlebag and tightening her hat. " I am Daring Dash, soon to be the conqueror of the Jungle Of Gyms!" No pony had seen or heard her. Daring Dash was fine with that. Level One - Swinging Punchbags... OF DOOM! There was no problem with this level. All you have to do is crawl along the floor of the first level, avoid the stale corn dog of death and dodge the smelly skunk cheese and there you are, on the other side. That wasn't all. Daring Dash could hear voices from way above. It was Mr Meanie talking to his guards. " I can smell young fillies around here " He bellowed, right in the face of his guards. " Well of course you can sir, you're right in the middle of a playground full of them." One of the guards answered. They then looked at Meanie's face. Bright red with anger. " I DONT MEAN IT LIKE THAT YOU FOOL! THERE IS A FILLY TRYING TO CONQUER MY JUNGLE!" He shouted so every pony in the playground could hear him. He pointed to the stairs and sent two guards to find out where the filly was located. "Oh no! Gotta run!" Daring Dash said to herself, looking for an alternative route. The guards had decided to take the main route. But also it was a very quick way. The guards came running down the stairs searching from left to right, like sniffer dogs hunting for meat to have as a fresh meal. Daring Dash jumped into the gap between the ground and the platform the fillies use to conquer the punchbags. She had made it just in time because the guards where advancing towards her. The guards ran right over the platform, completely obvious to their target right beneath them. The trotted on-wards, still searching for their suspect. " Phew!" Daring Dash said, full of relief. She the quickly got to her hooves and ran on up the stairs and continued her courageous adventure. Climbing up the stairs, the filly was thinking about what challenge awaited her. Was it going to be monkey-bar cliff? Or crocodile climbing wall creek? Daring Dash can accomplish any task that is thrown at her... Except maths tests. " No sandbox to big! No jungle gym too small! I shall conquer them all! " Dash exclaimed, full of determination so that she could complete her goal. Daring Dash jumped over the top of the stairs to then meet her next challenge. > Chapter 2 > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Level Two- Volcanic-rock ledge rock... OF MOLTEN LAVA The filly looked across the level, looking for a way to solve the problem. This was only level two. What was so hard about it? It was probably the tiny ledge space between the side of the volcano and the deadly invisible drop of death. Which was very good at blending in with the painted floor. Daring Dash slowly stepped along the ledge of rock as it was crumbling beneath her. " Slowly does it..." She muttered. Full of strength in her little cyan hooves, she shuffled carefully along the crumbling ledge. -0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0- " Haha! When we find that filly, they'll be sorry!" A voice said. It sounded from like it was coming from the level below. Daring Dash looked around sharply to see who was talking. Now it sounded like the voice was coming closer...and closer...closer... Until the voice was on exactly the same level as Daring Dash, who then figured out who the voice was belonging to...The head guard. " What are they still looking for me?!" She exclaimed, hoping that she wasn't heard by the guards that were advancing across the level. Daring Dash stopped her careful shuffling and began hopping along to quickly get to the other side. Luckily, she was there just in time. Because the guards had just turned round to the direction that Dash was facing, but she dived behind the walls that were her only balance tool just a few moments ago. -0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0- " Phew! I'm glad that's over." Daring Dash said, wiping the sweat off her face. The guards had went back down a level in search of the intruder. The filly was determined to finish the job and make her the conqueror but she still had to avoid being caught. > Continue the adventure > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- The rest of this story is a pick your path one, so have fun! Daring Dash climbed up the next flight of stairs to meet her next challenge, the maze of sure confusion. No-pony had ever got so far in the jungle so Dash didn't have a ruff idea of what she could do. She looked around, there was two ways to go. Left or Right? For left go to chapter Three Or For right go to chapter Four Time to choose the story! > Chapter 3 > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Daring Dash turned left to continue the maze, even though she was full of fear the filly carried on. There were a lot of things that she had never seen before in her life, and no it's not what you think. Daring Dash took some time to explore the winding path that she was choosing to continue her journey on. There were pictures on the walls of the maze, representing the playground items that are used every day. Also, there was arrows pointing in the wrong direction. What could that mean? Walking onwards, she was coming to a crossed pathway. She didn't know what way to go. Daring Dash looked forward seeing a lot of debri and trash lying on the floor. She then looked right seeing mist, fog and broken walls all the way along. Dash finally looked left, there was much better things like lots of sunlight, a clean floor...but also at the end, a tall, dark shadow was towering over the end of the path. Daring Dash stood and thought. " Were to go?" She said to herself. Time to chose your own path! To go forward, go to chapter six. To go left, go to chapter seven. And for right, go to chapter eight. > Chapter 4 > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Daring Dash turned right, and started walking down the path. There were a lot of thing to examine and explore within the path. There was old statues and vines dangling down from the ceiling. There was only compass parts and pieces of ripped map. Also on top of the first statue, there was a chewed hat. Dash continued down the path, it was quite bright, until she got to the end. There was this weird thing above her head. It looked like a giant boulder that was in those adventure movies. Dash liked it, she thought it was going to end like the famous Indiana Hooves and get chased by it. There was something on a little pedestal, a gem most likely. Daring Dash grabbed it, then put it in her saddlebag. There was something wrong. The roof was shaking, the giant boulder had fell! Daring Dash ran as fast as her little filly legs could carry her until she got back to the start. She turned around, the boulder was gone and so was the path, Daring a Dash had to go left.
