This is going to be your only chance of seeing a Griffolfox. Don't you want to see it?" "Yes, I do, but the Griffolfox lives in the deepest and scariest parts of the Everfree Forest." "Shy, we're all coming. There's nothing for you to be scared of." "Er... alright, I'll go." The shy butter pegasus mare with a long light pink mane and aqua-blue eyes looked at her friends with an uncertain look. A cyan pegasus mare with a rainbow mane and magenta eyes put a hoof around the shy mare's neck and pulled her close. "We'll be right there next to you, okay Shy?" The shy pegasus named Fluttershy nodded in response. They group grabbed a few necessary bags. They exited the small cozy cottage near the forest and began their journey into the mysterious forest. The blue pegasus mare with a green and yellow mane and blind light blue eyes turned into a blue wolf with green and yellow hair and blind eyes. Peaceheart or Peace was her name, she was a friend to many creatures and ponies, but sometimes a scared and angered side of her would push them away. Luckily, she knew that no matter what the Elements of Harmony, her sister and dog always stayed friends with her even though the toughest of things. The leader of the group were an alicorn and an unicorn. The alicorn was Princess Twilight, she was light purple with a dark blue mane with a streak of both pink and dark purple next to each other and dark purple eyes. Twilight Sparkle was Princess Celestia's star pupil and the Element of Magic. The unicorn next to her was Peaceheart's older sister Pinkalicious Cupcake or Pinks, she was hot pink with a wavy light pink mane and purple eyes. They led the group with their horns glowing to show the path. The cyan pegasus known as Rainbow Dash, the Element of Loyalty, was hovering and talking with the orange earth pony mare with a blonde mane, freckles, a cowboy hat and green eyes. The orange mare was Applejack, the Element of Honesty. As the two of them chatted, the hyperactive earth pony mare was jumping and talking to an unicorn. The earth pony was pink with a lighter pink bouncy mane and the unicorn was white with a curly dark purple mane, blue eye liner and sapphire eyes. The pink pony was Pinkie Pie, the Element of Laughter and the white unicorn was Rarity, the Element of Generosity. Fluttershy, the Element of Kindness walked slowly behind the group with Peace or Mystery, Peace's animal form. They walked together, side by side talking about animals and the Griffolfox. A rustle in the nearby bushes caused Mystery to stop and turn to the noise. Though Peace was blind, her senses were better then most others. Fluttershy was a bit busy talking to Rarity and Pinkie to notice Mystery's sudden stop. The bush rustled again, but stopped and after waiting a few minutes, Mystery turned back to the group. She ran a bit, but saw the group. As she was getting closer, a creature suddenly attacked her, pushing her to the ground with its claws. She yelped in shock and began to push the creature off, but the creature continued to push her down by gripping on her flesh. She yelped in pain as she suddenly felt blood rush down her fur. She opened her mouth and bit the creature's arm and it screamed in pain. She bit harder hoping the creature would get off her, but the creature only used its other claw to attack her head. Mystery felt some blood on her head and used some strength to push the creature off with her back legs. With the creature off, she began to run to the group, but the creature tackled her once more. This time the creature bit into Mystery's back and Mystery howled in the pain. She began to run and turned her body so that the creature would be hit by a large and thick tree. The creature did fall off her and she jumped on top of it. She pushed the creature hard on its back, her paws crushing the bones in its wings. The creature screamed and scratched Mystery's face. Mystery stepped back, face now heavily bleeding. As the creature began to ponce, Mystery jumped out of its way and the creature hit a hard rock. Mystery panted for a bit and began to run to the group. She followed the smell of cupcakes from Pinkie and Pinks. However as she once more came close to the group, the same creature tackled her again and scratched her back. The scratching hitting the same place the creature bit her. She screamed in pain as the creature repeatedly attacked the same painful area. The group turned to Mystery's painful scream and ran to the source. However, when they got there it was too late as Peace was laying in a puddle of her own blood. "Peace! Peace! Girls, we have to take her back to Ponyville! Now!" Pinks yelled as she levitated Peace onto her back. They began to run to the entrance of the forest when a pack of Timberwolves blocked their path. They backed away until they bumped into some more Timberwolves behind them. "Get out of my way!" Pinks yelled as her fire boomerang attacked some of the Timberwolves. The Timberwolves growled with anger and they all attacked the group. They all fought, but two Timberwolves surrounded Fluttershy and tackled her. She didn't fight back and the Timberwolves scratched and bit her. She screamed in pain and the others turned to her and attacked both of the Timberwolves that attacked their friend. After defeating the last two Timberwolves, they turned and saw that Fluttershy was also badly injured. Rainbow put her fillyhood friend on her back and they began to rush out of the forest. They pushed and shoved their way to the Ponyville Hospital. Four nurses immediately rushed the two injured pegasi into the ER. The others had to wait in the lobby with worried expressions. > Answers > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Answers A dark blue pegasus with a spiky orange mane, glasses and a white doctors' coat entered the lobby with a clipboard in his hooves. The group of worried ponies quickly jumped out of their seats and ran to the doctor. "Well, hello, I'm Dr. Needle, I need to speak with any family member of Fluttershy and Peaceheart please," Dr. Needle said as he glanced at the clipboard. "That bad, I'm Peace's sister Pinkalicious Cupcake," Pinks sighed with sadness. "And I'm Rainbow Dash, I'm the closest to Fluttershy's family here," Rainbow said. "Alright, Miss Dash and Miss Cupcake, please follow me," Dr. Needle said as they began to walk to a different hallway. This hallway had offices and doctors. Nurses and doctors walked around and almost all the doors to the office were closed. You could hear the ponies talking or crying and it was scary just walking through. Dr. Needle opened one of the doors to a clean and cozy office. Dr. Needle pointed a hoof to Pinkalicious and Rainbow to sit down on the chairs. They sat down on the two chairs and watched as Dr. Needle sat behind the large wooden desk. He put the clipboard down and looked at it. "Okay, so which pony shall I begin with?" Dr. Needle asked. Pinks and Rainbow looked at each other then to Dr. Needle and back. "Which one is worse?" Rainbow asked with fear. "That would be Peaceheart," Dr. Needle answered. He looked at Pinks and saw that she had her head down. "Let's get to Fluttershy first," Rainbow said as she put a hoof on Pinks' back. "Alright, Fluttershy is in a stable condition, but broke two rib bones and she has a broken hoof. She did in fact get hit in the head very hard and she is resting, but she might not fully recover from the damage to her head," Dr. Needle said. "What do you mean?" Rainbow asked. "He means that Fluttershy might have memory loss or she will need time to make sure her head in fully healed, but it takes more time," Pinks explained. "Now, shall I go onto Peaceheart's condition?" Dr. Needle asked. He looked at Pinks, who just nodded with a sad expression. "Okay, Peaceheart broke four rib bones, she broke one wing, she also broke to hooves and her head was badly injured and she has suffered from blood loss. She is in a coma and we are uncertain when she'll wake up," Dr. Needle said. "Can we see them?" Pinks asked. "Fluttershy, yes, but Peaceheart not yet," Dr. Needle said. "Okay, what room is Fluttershy's?" Rainbow asked. "Miss Fluttershy is room T-19," Dr. Needle said as he opened his door. Rainbow nodded to him as Pinks and herself left. When they reached the lobby their friends quickly ran to them. They began to ask questions, but before they could answer, a nurse can to them. "Excuse me, but I'm here to escort you all to room T-19," the nurse said. The nurse was a white unicorn mare with a blue curled mane, yellow eyes. "Okay," Twilight replied. They began to follow the nurse named Nurse Summer Chill, to Fluttershy's room. They entered the room and saw their butter pegasus friend. She laid on the white bed in the white room. They were quiet with her for a few minutes. While looking at Fluttershy's resting body, an unicorn, an earth pony and a robotic dog all ran into Fluttershy's room. "We have a major problem! Dragons are attacking Ponyville!" > Rampage > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rampage "We have a major problem! Dragons are attacking Ponyville!" the unicorn said with a worried expression. The unicorn mare with green a neon blue, green and pink mane and purple eyes was Neon Blitz. The reddish/brownish earth pony stallion with a combed yellow mane and green eyes was Rocket Star. The robotic dog was Marshdog, a helpful and made Jack Russell Terrier. "What!?!?!" the group replied. They turned to the windows and looked outside to see five huge, scary and scaly dragons, three had wings and the other two had large claws. They were destroying many homes and shops. "We have to do some thing!" Rarity said. They all looked at each other and gave each other a determined look. Pinkalicious, however, said nothing and sat at the window, not wanting anything to do with this. 'Of course dragons have to attack Ponyville today. If only Peace and Shy were wake. They'd know how to stop these dragons. They always had a way with creatures, no matter what size or shape,' Pinks thought to herself. "Hey Pinks, you coming?" Rainbow asked. "Um... no, I need to find somepony," Pinks said as she stood up and walked out the door to exit the room. "But-" Twilight started. "Just leave her be Twilight. Pinks is too worried about Peace right now, we can take care of this," Neon said. "Right," Twilight said with determination in her voice. They all exited the room, Neon let Rocket stay behind and they all began to exit the large hospital building. ~ ~ ~ ~ {Dragons} ~ ~ ~ ~ A large orange winged dragon with a scar over his left eye was Scarface. The large claws dragon with yellow, red and orange scales was Alexx. The large blue winged dragon was Wilbert. The large ivy green claws dragon was Poison. The last dragon was a medium winged dragon with grey scales, he was Cloud. They were all young, but they were bored for the past few days and when they came across the small town, they planned to destroy it. They all agreed on destroying and crushing all the ponies and buildings, except for Cloud. Cloud was the peaceful and tiny dragon while the others were mean, scary and evil. Cloud was nothing like his brothers and sister. Cloud was the runt and last one born, their mother and father abandoned them and they had to survive in the dangerous world. "C'mon guys, we have a town to crush!" Wilbert said with excitement. "Yeah! C'mon guys!" Poison said as she showed her claws. "I don'y think this is a good idea," Cloud said. "Chill bro, it'll be alright, nopony can hurt us!" Alexx said as he ruffled Cloud's spikes. "Hurry up guys, there are so many ponies out," Scarface said. They all exited the cave and raced into Ponyville. Ponies screaming and shops breaking was music to the dragons' ears, except for Cloud, who just apologized quietly. ~ ~ ~ ~ {Ponies} ~ ~ ~ ~ The ponies rushed out of the hospital. Twilight saw her castle, and all the ponies ran to it. Twilight quickly found the mysterious box that gave them powers to defeat Tirek. "C'mon girls, we have to use the box," Twilight said. The four other elements nodded, but when they turned the keys, nothing happened. "It's not working. Why is it not working?" Twilight asked herself. "Because not all the Elements of Harmony are here. Fluttershy needs to be here for you all to get your powers," a white alicorn mare with a flowing pink, blue and green mane said. The others turned to the Princess of the Sun, Celestia. They bowed and stood up. They screaming got louder and now could be heard through the window. "What do we do to stop these dragons Princess Celestia?" Twilight asked. "We need Fluttershy and your friend Peaceheart," Princess Celestia said. > Damage > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Damage "We need Fluttershy and your friend Peaceheart," Princess Celestia said. The ponies all looked at the only unturned key in the box that gave the Mane 6 Rainbow Power. "But Princess Celestia, Fluttershy and Peace are still bad condition, they haven't even been in the hospital for a day," Rainbow said as she looked at Fluttershy's key. "I know that they are in a bad condition, but the only way to stop the dragons are Fluttershy and Peace, they have a very strong bond with animal and creatures," Princess Celestia said. "Then what are we supposed to do about the dragons?" Marshdog asked. The others looked at him and to the Princess, who that grabbed a book from a shelf. "Simple, talk to Peace and Fluttershy in their minds and Twilight, your brother, Princess Cadance and some of the Royal Guards are coming right now," Princess Celestia said as she gave the book to Twilight. "If Princess Cadance and Prince Shining Armor are coming to Ponyville, who's going to watch the Crystal Empire?" Pinks asked. "Don't worry my little pony, you just worry about your sister," Princess Celestia said as she gave Pinks a soft smile. A knock on the Castle of Friendship caused Twilight to opened the castle door. Outside were a pink alicorn mare with a straight and curled at the end pink, purple and yellow mane, purple eyes which was Princess Cadance of the Crystal Empire, a white unicorn in a purple guard suit with a blue mane and blue eyes was Prince Shining Armor and a bunch of Royal Guards. "Shining! Cadance!" Twilight said as she hugged Shining and Cadance. "Twily, we heard that Ponyville was in trouble, but we didn't think it was going to be this bad," Shining said as he pointed to the dragons. "Well, come inside, I think I know a way to stop these dragons, and we had a lot to explain," Twilight said as she opened the door wider, so everypony could enter. After ten minutes of explaining... "Okay, so just so we are clear, you want the guards to lead the dragons out of Ponyville and once they're out, you qant me to put my barrier up, right?" Shining asked. "Yes, we need it fast too, they're get a bit too close to the Hospital," Twilight id as she looked at the dragons and the Hospital. "Okay, guards you heard the princess, let's move and fast," Shining commanded. "Yes sir!" the guards said as they all rushed out. They got into position and charged, attacking the dragons and pushing them out of Ponyville. "Come back now!" Shining yelled as he began to put up his shield. The shield came up quickly, and the dragons repetitively banged on the shield, hoping to bring it down. "Ponies, you will not win, we are smarter than you think, we will be back and you will not know it!" Scarface yelled. They began to go back into the Everfree and once they were out of sight, Shining expanded the shield, going as far as Fluttershy's cottage and as high as Cloudsdale. "We have to make sure none of those dragons try to attack again, Lieutenant Star, make sure nopony and no creature enters this shield," Shining commanded. "Yes sir!" a grey unicorn in a golden suit said, "Guards, follow me!" Inside the Castle of Friendship... "Twilight I have to go," Pinks said as she looked at the floor. "Go where? You can't leave the shield until the dragons are gone," Twilight said. "I-I just have to," Pinks said as she ran out of the castle with tears. Twilight watched as Pinks ran for the Hospital and she knew what Pinks meant. "Is she going to be alright?" Pinkie asked. "Yeah, she just has to visit somepony right now," Twilight said. Twilight walked over to Princess Celestia and whispered something into her ear. The princess understood and walked to the Hospital as the others watched. "What did you ask the princess?" Rarity asked. "To give somepony permission to visit their sister," Twilight said. They all looked at Twilight and at the Hospital, getting the message. "So, what do we do now?" Rainbow asked. "We make a plan, Fluttershy should be alright be the end of next week, but Peace on the other hoof is going to be longer. We need both of them if we want all the dragons to leave," Twilight said. "So what's the plan Twily?" Cadance asked. "The plan is to..." At the Hospital... "Get off! Please let me go! I have to see her! She's my little sister! Please!" Pinks begged at the doctors. The doctors all shook their heads side to side. Pinks slouched on the floor, crying as she thought of Peace. "Please, let my dear pony visit her sister," Princess Celestia said as she walked over to Pinks. "W-why o-of course Princess," the doctors said as they bowed. They opened the door and followed a light pink nurse. She had opened a door to a large white room. Pinks quickly rushed inside. Peace laid on a white bed with a heart meter at her bedside, a breathing mask over her nostrils, cords of fluids and blood connected to her hooves. Pinks slowly walked over to her little sister and put her hoof over her sister's. "P-Peace, it's me, Pinks. I-I came and I won't leave you again. I-I'm sorry," Pinks cried into her sister's side. Princess Celestia, tried not to cry, the most hurtful and painful sight was the sight of seeing a family member in the Hospital, not knowing what would happen next. Princess left the two alone and walked over to a doctor. "Please let my friend stay with her sister, her sister is her only family left," Princess Celestia said. "Okay, Princess," the doctor replied. Princess Celestia nodded and headed back to the castle.
