> MLP The Human Chronicles: Season 1 > by The Mysterious Lombax > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- > Chapter 1: Introduction > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Since when did I became ditched?" This is the thought of a young boy that has lived a lonely life throughout Earth. He goes by the name of Toby Morrison. He's a twelve year old boy. What he looked like was a red-head human at the height of four feet and eleven inches tall. He lives in New York City. He seems to be short for his age. He was in elementary school possibly at the fifth grade. Sure his education was fine, but the thing he was missing was friends. He was the character that was used once and left out. But that doesn't mean he was going to let himself kick the bucket for being pathetic for having no one to adore him besides his family. After school was out, all the other children ran fast to their homes, leaving the red-head behind. On the way home, it was raining. Toby walked to his house with a sad look. His mother had to work the night shift today, but she is like a positive person to the kid. His father is also good with Toby, but never seems to have father-son time with him due to his new job. Toby looks up, and sees a shooting star fall by. He closes his eyes and curls his fingers. "I wish I had some friends to have." he chanted. After wishing upon the star, he continue the long sad walk to his home. Meanwhile in another land known as Equestria... There was a huge castle in a land known as Ponyville. This building belongs to some ponies known as the Mane Six. A lavender alicorn entered on the door to open it to get inside. Her name was Twilight Sparkle. She had violet eyes while her purple coat complimented her indigo mane and tail nicely. A personal touch to her mane, pink and purple stripes, were visible. On her flank (butt for ponies) was a cutie mark. Her's was the Element of Magic, representing a six-pointed star. "Hmm. What do I have here?" she spoke up as she used her magic to levitate some nearby books. "The elements of harmony? Nope. Starswirl's magic book? Nah. Ah. The Great Guardian's Legend. Once upon a time, there was an evil that threatened to destroy Equestria. He brought ruin to the lands, enslaved the ponies, and destroyed homes. In order for this to stop, Princess Celestia and Princess Luna's ancestors called a being to stop this. Even after the battle was over, that evil will return one day an da new guardian will defeat him. Twilight was amused with the story. "A being that's a guardian?" she asked. "Wonder what that's like?" Suddenly, a little baby dragon ran to Twilight. His name was Spike. "Twilight!" he cried out. "We need to meet the others at Applejack's place for a picnic!" "I almost forgot!" she responded. "Let's go!" "Wait! I need to give Rarity this Hearts and Hooves Card!" Spike cried as he went to a room and got back with his card. The alicorn rolled her eyes as she levitated the baby dragon on her back. "Now that's settled," she responded. "Time to go!" As they exited the castle, no one noticed a page from "The Great Guardian" book flew away from the book, revealing it to be a two-legged creature that was unknown to everyone. Back on Earth... Toby was still walking back home until he noticed a shape of a star in front of him. As he was about to pick it up, it exploded and turned into a golden heart locket. The boy looked around to see if anyone was about to pick up, but he saw nobody. "Hmm. Guess it's mine for now." he said. He put it on, and it fits perfectly on him. He then saw a black car pass by. "Dad! He's coming home!" Toby cheered as he chased after the black car. As he was running, somewhere in a place called Canterlot, an alicorn named Princess Celestia looked out in the balcony. She was the co-ruler of Equestria. Her cutie mark was the sun. She felt an tingle as she walked back to her throne. Sounds of hoof steps can be heard. It was Princess Luna, Celestia's younger sister. She was another alicorn with the cutie mark of the moon. "Sister?" she asked. "You seem concerned." "Oh it's nothing. It's just that I have detected a weird signal from another world." Celestia replied. "What's this "weird signal" you speak off?" Luna asked. "I don't know," the sun princess answered. "but what I do know is that whatever it is has the signal getting closer to our destination. He could be the one to stop the evil." "Perhaps, we can greet this being and welcome him to Equestria. But for now, we must be patient." Luna said. As they got close to each other, both of their horns are glowing much to their surprise. "What's happening, sister?!?" Celestia cried. "I don't know. The prophecy must be coming true." the moon princess said. Back on Earth, as Toby was running, his locket began to glow white. "What the what?" he cried. "What's it doing?" The locket began to glow brighter and then exploded in a flash, making Toby vanished but leaving the locket behind. Toby screamed as he fell to the long rainbow that connected to a strange new world. As he fell, he bumped many obstacles that seemed to hurt him. When he was done falling, he breathed heavily and closed his eyes. He was knocked out unconscious. > Chapter 2: A Scared Suprise > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Twilight and Spike finally arrived to a farm that was the name of Sweet Apple Acres. Five other ponies was waiting for the two. Their names are Rainbow Dash, Fluttershy, Pinkie Pie, Rarity, and Applejack. "It's about time you got here," Rainbow Dash stated. Rainbow Dash is a pale cyan Pegasus. Her mane had the colors of a rainbow. Her eyes are magenta. Her tail also is the colors of the rainbow. Her cutie mark was a cloud with a thunder blot. "Sorry, I was reading about a new book today," Twilight replied. "What's it about, sugarcube?" Applejack asked. Her coat color was orange, having a blonde mane and green eyes. Her cutie mark was three apples. "It's called 'The Great Guardian'" the alicorn explained. "An hero rose up to a great evil that had ruled Equestria and brought ruins to everyone." "Oh, my. It sounds scary." Fluttershy commented. Like Rainbow, she was a Pegasus, but with a butter yellow coat. Her mane was pink, she had perfect cyan eyes, and had three butterflies as her cutie mark. "Hey, it's just a story," Twilight replied. "It couldn't be real." "Well, what happened to the hero? Did he live happily ever after? Did he have a huge party?" asked Pinkie Pie excitedly. She was a pink Earth pony, had a puffy rose magenta mane, and had bluish eyes. Her cutie mark had three balloons. "Don't know. I haven't finished reading it yet," Twilight answered. "What a shame. Now that is down, can we relax for the rest of the day?" Rarity asked in a posh British accent. Rarity was a white unicorn. She has a purple mane that was Indigo, and her eyes are Azure colored. Her cutie mark was three diamonds. "Well, we could and-- Oh my Celestia, what is that?!?" Twilight cried as she pointed to a object near Sweet Apple Acres. It was an medium sized-aped with two hands and legs. It seemed unfamiliar to anyone in Equestria. "Oh my goodness!" Fluttershy cried as she went near to it pick up it. "Fluttershy, why are you holding that thing in your arms?" Applejack asked fearfully. "It seems hurt! It needs some aid!" the Pegasus replied. "But what if it's dangerous?" Rainbow Dash asked. "We are not sure, but we need to keep an eye on it for investigation." Twilight said. The ponies and Spike nodded as they all went to the Castle of Friendship, with Toby unconscious on Fluttershy's back. > Chapter 3: Meeting The Gang > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- It's been hours since the Mane Six and Spike found Toby, and he showed no signs of waking up. "Maybe we can bury this thing and forget everything that has happened?" Rainbow suggested. "Of course not! That would be mean to a creature like this!" Fluttershy protested. Suddenly, the creature starting moving swiftly which causes the ponies and baby dragon to be startled and scared. "But, King Dedede, I want my food back!" Toby muttered loudly. "I'll kick your bottom if you become like Dr. Cortex!" The Mane Six all gave dumbfounded looks to each other and did nothing until Rainbow Dash galloped to Toby. "Who are you and what's your business?" she asked Toby. Suddenly, Toby opened his eyes and saw six ponies and a baby dragon, "AAAHH!" he screamed and crawled back. "What are you? Horses can't talk!" "Hey! Whoa-whoa-whoa! Watch it genius! We're ponies! Ponies!" Rainbow Dash scolded. "Ponies can't talk either!" Toby pointed out as he stood up. "Well, words are coming out when our lips are moving." Spike commented. "Oh, dear God. I must be dreaming." Toby said as he pinched his cheek, only to wince in pain and find out it's not a dream after all. "So how are you doing, Toby Morrison?" Pinkie Pie asked. "Gah! How do you know my name?" the boy cried. "It says on it your pants. We checked it when you were unconscious." the pony answered. Toby shuddered by that long fall while checking on his pants if it was true. And unfortunately for him it was. "So anyway, are you a spy?" Rainbow demanded as she got close to Toby. "Whoa. Simmer down. I mean no harm to all of you. I'm just a human being." Toby answered. Everyone but Rainbow sighed in relief hearing that this person will not terrorize them. "So. Where am I?" he asked. "You're in a magical kingdom called Equestria. It is ruled by Princess Celestia and Princess Luna. We live here in Ponyville." Twilight explained. "Cool!" the boy spoke. Then he turned to Rainbow. "What's the point of harassing people like me when you first meet them?" "Well, they might be tricking us and give us trouble when they backstab us." the Pegasus replied. "So anyway, I'm Rainbow Dash. Fastest flyer in Equestria!" "Awesome!" Toby said. "I'm Applejack. What's your name sport?" the western pony said. "Tobias Morrison. But call me Toby. Everyone does." the boy said. "Hi! I'm Pinkie Pie! You like parties? Because I adore parties! In fact, we should throw you a welcome party! What do you say? Huh? Huh?!" Pinkie Pie yelled while smiling and jumping up and down excited. Toby gave a confused look as if to say "No comment." "Anyway, the baby dragon you see is Spike." Twilight said. "Hey there. How it's going?" Spike asked. "Good." Toby replied. "Here's Rarity!" Twilight called. "My, you seem tall for your height, darling." Rarity commented. "Uh, thanks." Toby awkwardly said. "I'm Twilight Sparkle." Twilight announced. "And that pony is Fluttershy." "Hey." Fluttershy whispered softly. "Uh, hi." Toby replied awkwardly. "Is there anyone that can help me get home?" "Well, there's Princess Celestia. She can do that." Twilight answered. "OK. Let's go!" Toby exclaimed as he went out of the castle. "Man, that human's fast!" Spike complained. "Give it a rest, Spike." Rainbow Dash commented. "He's not that fast. I can run faster." The Mane Six and Spike exited out of the castle as they followed the human boy. > Chapter 4: The Ogre > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- As the gang was heading to Ponyville, it zooms into a abounded land with ruins and destroyed temples. In it was a large minotaur. He had long horns, a goatee, four long hooves, and a red main skin. He was watching Toby Morrison in a orb. "So, this is the hero from the prophecy, eh?" he spoke. "We'll see about that." He pressed on a button that released a fat ogre. He was green and had a staff carried by himself. "Your target is that!" the minotaur shouted as he pointed to the image of Toby. The ogre growled as he dashed out of the abounded land and set a course for Ponyville. Meanwhile in Ponyville... "...So then I told him that you shouldn't scrubbed that DVD with the pizza, thinking it's the pizza cutter, and I just damaged it and destroyed it!" Toby said. Everyone was laughing hysterically at Toby's joke. "Oh, Toby," Rainbow Dash said, wiping a tear of joy from her eye with a hoof. "You make me laugh so much. I kind of think of you as a enemy, but you're not so bad after all." "Yeah," Toby replied. "Also, since we are going to meet to the Princesses, wha's the worst that could happen?" Suddenly, an ogre appeared out of nowhere, landing in a massive house that caused a giant shockwave to the gang that toppled them over. "What the what is that?!?" the boy cried. "It's an ogre!" Rarity yelled. "Those ruffians better not involve with us because that would be such horrid!" The ogre grabbed Toby and headed away from the Mane Six and Spike. "He's got Toby!" Applejack shouted. "Let's get that varmint!" The ponies and baby dragon ran to the direction where the ogre had fled, but after five minutes, the ogre was nowhere to be found. Suddenly, they heard screaming from a tree house. They got there and they saw three fillies with terrified looks. One had a red mane and a pink huge bow, and had a yellow lemon body. Another had orange wings and skin and a purple mane. The third had a pearl purple mane, a white horn, and also a white body. "Apple Bloom, what's going on?" Applejack asked. "We were devising on a plan to get our cutie marks, but some monster came running to our tree house and climbed on it." Apple Bloom explained. "We had to evacuate out of it and while escaping, he was very sleepy when he arrived." Scootaloo continued. "And not only that, but he placed some weird object in front of it." Sweetie Belle finished. "Toby!" The Mane Six and Spike cried. "Who?" the three fillies asked. "We'll explain later," Rainbow Dash replied. "Just stay here until we get that jerk out of here!" The ponies and dragon went inside the tree house. What they saw inside was the ogre sleeping and Toby Morrison on front of it looking confused. "Pssst! Toby!" Pinkie Pie whispered. "Over here!" "Guys! I'm so glad to see you!" Toby cheered. "Sssh! Don't wake the ogre up!" Twilight hissed. But it was too late. As the ogre was snoring, it woke up and mumbled. It stood up and whacked it's staff at Toby. Fortunately, he dodged that attack and thought what to do next. He got an idea. He jumped on the ogre causing it to get angry. It twirled it's staff at the boy but he avoided it. The ogre rotated it's staff and Toby jumped every time it went to him and just like the last time, the ogre whacked the staff at the boy, only for him to dodge it. He jumped the ogre again, making it more furious. The staff got rotated around faster until the ogre whacked it at Toby. For the third time, he slammed it, giving Toby a chance to defeat it. The ogre fell down. "Yee-haw!" Toby cheered as he jumped high. Toby had walked up to the Mane Six. They gave him worried looks. "Are you OK?" Fluttershy asked with concern. "Well, yeah. I've never defeated a fat villain like that before." Toby replied. "It's no doubt he was easy to destroy," Rainbow Dash stated. "Even I could have beaten that jerk!" "Anyway, let's get to Canterlot." Twilight said. "But who is this guy?" Scootaloo asked, pointing to Toby. "Oh, that's Toby Morrison. He came from the planet Earth that was similar to Equestria but much different. He picked up a locket and was transported here. He met us while we were having a picnic and he wants to get back to Earth." Pinkie Pie announced. Now, this would be jaw-dropping for everyone else, but Toby Morrison has his jaw to the lowest ground. "H-h-how you-u'd kn-n-now all this-s-s stu-uff?" he stammered. "That's just Pinkie being Pinkie." Applejack answered. "Now you met my younger sister, Apple Bloom and her friends." "Hey, mister." the yellow filly said as she approached Toby. "How are you doing?" Scootaloo asked. "You seem nice." Sweetie Belle commented to the boy. "Uh..." Toby said as he rubbed his head sheepishly. "It seems good to meet you three fillies, but I've got to get running." "Exactly. We need to get him back where he belongs." Twilight added. "So, Apple Bloom, I need you and the other two of you to go back to Sweet Apple Acres so you can get your destinies collected. Understood?" Applejack spoke. "OK, big sister. Let's go girls!" Apple Bloom replied as the three fillies galloped away. So the boy, baby dragon, and ponies went back to their set destination: Canterlot. At a faraway land, a minoataur pounded his arms hard against his table. "Curses!" he shouted. "He defeated my ogre! Well, let's see how he likes the next! But for now, I shall watch his moves." > Chapter 5: The Prophecy > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- The gang had walked through Ponyville and made their way to Canterlot. Just as they were about to enter, two guards blocked the human. "Not so fast!" a guard shouted, pointing at Toby. "What is it?" the boy asked. "A furry beast like you doesn't belong here in Equestria!" the other answered. "It's okay! He's with us." Twilight announced. "Hmm. You can go, ape. But we'll be keeping an eye an you from now on." the guards sneered at Toby. "What's their problem?" Toby asked as they went inside. "They are just doing their jobs, Toby." Spike answered. After that was settled, the gang went inside the castle. What stood in front them was the princesses, of course. "Hello, Twilight Sparkle and friends." Princess Celestia said. The Mane Six, Toby, and Spike bowed down to them. "No need to do that. You're are heroes of Equestria." Princess Luna said. "And who is this?" "That's Toby Morrison. We found him in the picnic." Twilight answered. "Also I would be trying to find a way back to my home, but for now it seems that I would like to stay here for a few months first." Toby Morrison announced. Suddenly Celestia got closer to Luna and whispered something about a prophecy. This, however is heard by the boy. "Huh? What'd you say?" the boy asked. "We were talking about a prophecy about a great guardian that has saved this land and became a legend here in Equestria." Luna answered. "That's the "Great Guardian" story I read about!" Twilight exclaimed. "A long time ago, an evil rose out of nowhere. He had brought ruins to the lands, enslaved the inhabitants who lived there, and destroyed habitats. That all changed when a being came to Equestria and saved everyone by defeating the evil that was hindered hideous. After the evil left, the hero went on to live his life." Luna recited. "And who is this evil and hero?" Toby asked. "We don't know about the hero but we have had a history with the evil that has been mentioned. Although we saw him the past year, we've have forgotten his name." Celestia replied. "OK. So there can be things I can do in Equestria while I wait for my way home. So Rainbow, can I hang out with you for the time being?" The boy said. "Sure, but you need Twilight to cast a spell on you so that you can walk on the clouds, sport." the cyan Pegasus replied. "OK. Let's go. Oh, and by the way, Princesses, thank you for the foretelling of the prophecy. I admire it." Toby complied. The Princesses chuckled at this honor moment of the human boy admiring their story. The eight individuals left the castle and headed back to Ponyville. Little did they know, they will have the adventure of their lives...literally. > Chapter 6: One Day > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- As the Mane Six and Spike departed, Toby decided to hang out with Rainbow Dash for the time being. It was a good thing Twilight cast a spell on the boy so he can walk on the clouds. While the two were walking, the Pegasus showed the boy about the flying place. The rainbow factory, the competition, her room, the place where the Wonderbolts are usually seen the most. "So your future is to become a Wonderbolt?" the boy asked. "Exactly! Since I was a filly, I wanted to become their part of the group." Rainbow said. As the two went on further, they saw some colts and mares nearby. "Well, well, well. If it isn't that ape." one said. "Hey! Leave him alone!" Rainbow defended. "Chillax, Rainbow. We don't mean to insult him. We just don't know what is he." another said. "I'm a human." Toby said. "And now we know what is he now." the first stallion said. "So how was it like to defeat that ogre?" "What? You all know that? How?" Rainbow Dash said. "Word got spread that the ogre was making trouble around Ponyville scattered somewhere else in that land. And some fillies told the Mayor what happened, and BOOM! They ended up in newspapers quickly!" the second Pegasus answered. "Wow. That's one way to spread the news." Toby said to himself. "So want to hang out with us?" the second Pegasus said. "Whoa, whoa! He's with me first!" Rainbow protested. "Hey. Maybe he can hang out with us with you." the first stallion suggested. "That's a better way to say it." the boy said. What was to come next was the boy trying to do was to follow the others, but a giant boulder came rolling down to him. Rainbow tried to rush to him, but the boulder was on hot pursuit. Fortunately, Toby managed to run as fast as he can until he reached an area causing the boulder. But when the boy walked further, another boulder appeared. Once again, Toby jumped on platforms while running from the boulder. Plus, Toby seemed to be scared about this. He also managed to pick up some mysterious stars along the way. He crashed through some clouds making him look like he's wearing a dress, making mares giggle of his embarrassment. The boy just rolled his eyes, and continued running. When it was all over, the boy managed to tip-toe until an angry stallion came up to him. "Stupid dog! You make me look bad!" he shouted. "Well, bye!" Toby replied. "Whoa, dude! You crashed through some stallion's house and survived a boulder dash? Cool!" Rainbow Dash said. "And survived? Even better!" Toby added. "By the way, where did that boulder come?" "Possibly someone who hates you. Obviously the person is trying to get rid of you." Rainbow stated. "Now, I got to help clean up those mess, but I have to get you back to Ponyville first. Hop on." Toby accepted the offer and got on Rainbow. They dashed back to Ponyville in a flash. Once they got there, they got to Twilight's castle. "What are we doing here?" Toby asked. "I can't tell you until we get there." the Pegasus replied as they got in. It was dark until Toby got in and the room got it's light back. "SUPRISE!!!" the Mane Six and Spike shouted. "This is your "Welcome to Ponyville" Party!" Pinkie said gleefully. "Wow! Thanks!" the boy commented as he went on forward to see the cake made for him. It presented him, Spike, and the Mane Six on it. Some loud groaning can be heard and they all turned to see a warlock up ahead them. "I'd go by the name of Jebb, and now it's time to get rid of you!" the warlock shouted. Jebb stomped his staff at the ground, causing everyone to stumble. The warlock shot a laser at Toby, but Twilight got in the way and used a defense spell to block the magic. "So you want to hurt him? You must get to us first!" Rainbow demanded, as the Mane Six went in front of Toby. "Guys, what are you doing?!?" Toby asked. "Defending you, sugracube! That's what friends do!" Applejack answered. The Mane Six battled Jebb. The warlock summoned a fire spell at Rainbow, but she dodged it. Twilight had the chance to use her magic against Jebb by throwing him against the walls. But Jebb broke the struggle and returned the favor to the six mares. "Oh, no!" Toby cried as he went to the Mane Six. "Are you alright?" "We're fine, just stay out of the way!" Applejack warned. "No! I refuse to let any of my friends hurt!" the boy replied as he charged to Jebb. Jebb was about to use a freeze spell on Toby, but he reached the warlock and grabbed him by the collar He started to punch him repeatedly, which caused the warlock to receive bumps and bruises. "So you want to play rough, eh?" he said as he threw his staff at Toby but the boy jumped and grabbed a bat. He did a home run, and the warlock was sent flying to the sun. "Is he gone?" Spike asked. Toby looked up to see the twinkle on the sun. "Yes, it is." he responded as he threw the bat away. "Whoo-hoo! Time for a party!" Pinkie Pie said. "You said it. Now, can I put the song for Ponyville to hear?" he asked. The Mane Six nodded as Toby put on the song. "Dude! That could have been your theme song! It goes well with you!" Rainbow said. "Too bad it's taken! But let's celebrate!" Toby said. Meanwhile in another place... An angry minotaur grumbled at the failure of his minion. "Curses! Jebb failed! But I'm always prepared for anything." he said. > Chapter 7: The Ambush > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- After a full day of relaxing with Rainbow Dash, Toby decided to walk around Ponyville. While walking around, some mares were staring at him and muttered about him. "Sounds like they never heard about my species before." he thought. Meanwhile, in a unknown location, a secret meeting was taking place. "Monsters," one figure said. "We have come to discuss our plans for a long period of time. If we must eliminate the boy, we must distract him into a trap." "Yes, but how we will do it?" another figure asked. "We must watch his every move in order for a dead giveaway. That's the easiest way to rid of the boy." the first figure said. "How about we try to break his friendship with his little friends first?" the other figure asked. "Later. For now, we must lure him in a monster." the third figure said. Toby Morrison walked down to Fluttershy's cottage to see what she's up to. He saw her feeding Angel and the other animals. "So, the caretaker is suddenly like a mother nature?" Toby asked. Fluttershy turned around and saw Toby approached her. "Hey, Toby. I was about to have tea. Want to join me?" she said. "Sure. Anything for one of my friends." he replied. Fluttershy blushed in happiness as she and the boy went inside the cottage. However, Angel blocked Toby's path, giving him an unsure look. "I don't think he likes me." Toby complained. "Oh, that's just Angel being Angel. He not used to visitors." Fluttershy said. A figure was watching Fluttershy and Toby in a crystal ball. "Excellent. Now to lure him into my slug monster." he said, while snapping his fingers. A slug monster appeared in front of the figure, looking very angry. "Your target is this!!!" the figure shouted as he pointed Toby in the crystal ball. The slug monster nodded, as he plodded away. "Soon, I, Lord Tirek, will have my revenge on Equestria, and destroy Toby Morrison. MUAWHAHAHA!!!" he laughed. Toby Morrison talked about his life to Fluttershy. Most of the time, she was all "Oh my, goodness!" and Toby had to soften the story to avoid making her crying. "So your mother works in a glue factory?" she asked. Toby cringed and knew this would get her scared. So he had to lie. "Well, something like that. The way it works is by using juice and milk together and melt in in 2 hours." Toby explained. Suddenly, some loud thumping can be heard and Fluttershy hid behind Toby. "What was that?" she cried while shaking. A huge slug monster slithered down to them. "Fluttershy, stay back!" Toby commanded, as he got in front of the slug monster. Toby punched the slug monster with all his might, but had no luck of making effort. The slug knocked him out, sending the boy flying. "Toby!" Fluttershy cried as the slug monster stared her. "Get the pony." Tirek's voice echoed in it's mind. The slug monster grabbed Flutershy, and slithered off. "Toby!" Fluttershy cried again. Toby barely heard her and opened his eyes to see Fluttershy screaming while the slug monster slithers off with her. He tries to raise a hand, but then fell off. "Wake up, you're not dead." a voice echoed. "What?" Toby said. Suddenly, another human touched Toby, frightening him. "Who are you?" Toby Morrison asked. "That doesn't matter. You must retrieve your friend." the figure said, while summoning a frying pan. "Wha--?" Toby started, but got knocked out. "That was a crazy dream." Toby said, as he found himself in the middle of the Everfree Forest. He suddenly found a yellow feather in a huge footprint. "Fluttershy." he panted, while clutching the feather. Suddenly, a loud "Eep!" was heard. Toby knew he was in the right path, but before he could go further, he saw the Mane Five running toward him. "Why are you following me?" he asked. "I'm the one who's going to find Fluttershy!" "Not without our help, you're not." Rainbow Dash protested. "Wait, what?" "Darling, haven't you seen that ruffian of a slug?" Rarity complained. "You couldn't defeat that thing without us supporting you!" Pinkie said. Toby knew there was no time to argue and decided to give in. "All right, you can help, but don't get hurt on my watch!" This made the others have smiles. Toby gathered them up, and told them the plan. It'll be like the slug won't know what hit it. Toby screeched at a stop at a abandoned factory. He saw Fluttershy attached to a chair, with some locks on her. He then sneaked up behind her, and got in front of her. "Toby!" Fluttershy squealed, while trying to fly up, but her restraints were heavy. "It's alright, Fluttershy. I'm here to get you ou--" Toby said, but stopped when he felt something oozy behind him. "There's a slug behind me, is there?" Fluttershy nodded nervously as a giant slapped Toby somewhere. The slug ate a purple mushroom, causing it to turn small, and flew to the direction Toby landed on. The Pegasus tried to keep up, but her chair wouldn't let her go. Her friends arrived just in time. Rarity and Twilight used their magic to release her. "Where is Toby?" Rainbow asked. "He and that slug flew over there!" Fluttershy pointed to the direction. "This is outrageous." Rarity commented. Toby then woke up in a platform at a waterfall. He looked up behind him to see the slug monster transforming into a crazy dog. "Not good." Toby muttered. The slug-dog began the battle by jumping into nearby platforms. While doing this, it dropped several bombs downward. Toby, while looking across, managed to dodge the slug-dog, and then bumped a bomb. It started the countdown, and Toby jumped into another platform. Unfortunately for the slug-dog, it just came, and then the bomb just exploded. It started to turn mad, and let out more bombs while hopping around. "This is madness!" Toby cried, as he continued to jump, avoiding the ambushes. "Do you need help?" a voice called, as Toby turned to see the Mane Six above a hill. "Uh, yeah, I guess." Toby said. "Let's go!" Rainbow called, as she kicked some bombs into the waterfall. Toby took notice of this, and then bumped them, setting them off. As the slug-dog came, they exploded in his face. Now it was on to serious matters. The slug-dog began to throw more bombs and mines in the water, and threw ink at the mares while they tried to dodge them. Toby had enough of this foolishness, so he decided to grab a nearby bomb and threw it at the slug-dog. The slug-dog then laughed, before exploding. "Nobody messes with my friends!" Toby cried, as he leaped out of the field. "Well, this is lutacris." Pinkie said, before the others glared at her in dumbfounded. "Looks like you been expanded dong like Donkey Kong!" Toby exclaimed to the slug-dog. "Who?" Applejack asked. "Never mind." Toby replied, before they all turned to see the slug-dog disintegrating. But it then grabbed Toby on the neck. His friends tried to help him, but no matter what they did, the slug-dog still kept on to Toby. "You!" Fluttershy pointed to the slug-dog, while giving it the "Stare." The slug-dog began to whimper at the sight of Fluttershy. "You better let go of my friend, and don't you ever harm him or us again! Do you understand?!?" The slug-dog nodded before letting go of Toby, and went on to crush itself with a huge boulder. "Hey, Fluttershy. Thanks for the help with your friends. I appreciate it." Toby breathed. "Thank you." she whispered, before squealing with joy. "Well, maybe we could have a round of HayMacdonald's in the house?" Toby asked. "Sure." the other said. Toby then ran off to Ponyville while the other followed him. "You've done great, kid. You've done great." Rainbow Dash thought. "Curses!" Tirek growled. "First the ogre, now the slug?!?
