"Well I'm off!" Yells an excited silver haired boy as he runs out the front door of a small house near the edge of the woods with a red backpack bouncing about on his back.

The sun hangs high and the wind blows coolly bringing the fresh scents of the nearby body of water. The sun beats heavily without any clouds in the sky. A woman looking around her mid fifties steps out of the open doorway with a giant smile on her face as she waves off to the adventures boy.

"Today is the day!" He says to himself barely containing the energy that wells up inside of him.

A necklace of a bird bounces around his neck as the wind whips across his straight fit faded blue jeans and his red shirt with a yellow flame on the front that forms wings on the back. He runs off into the forest with only one place set in mind.

"Adventure my name is Yūkan!"

After the long run the boy comes to a grove where there sits two others. One is female and the other and male. The male wears a black shirt with a skull and wings on the front of it, he also has a necklace with a cross around his neck made of silver metal, and he wears dark blue jeans with holes towards the bottom on his pants legs. He looks over at Yūkan and nods his head. The female stands moving back and forth on her pink heels with her hands behind her, she dons a pink skirt with a chain coming down it with a white ball on the end of it, she also wears a teal shirt and a white jacket over it, and upon her head she wears a white fur hat that has miniature ears. She giggles and says, "Well its about time you finally got here slowpoke!"

Yūkan just shrugs his shoulders saying, "I wanted to get a good breakfast in today."

The male stands up and says, "Well now that we are all here lets get going."

"Right!" Yūkan says running up beside his friends.

As they start off Yūkan grabs the twos shoulders and asks, "Wait... Where are all your stuff?"

"At the entrance of the cave." The guy says for the both of them.

They resume their walk towards the cave as they have light conversation about what they are about do and all their supplies. They reach the cave after moving through the thicket of the forest. At the entrance of the cave lay two bags one is a big burlap bag and the other is a pink backpack. The two grab their stuff and head into the cave without a care in the world.

*Meanwhile*

A pristine white horse with both a horn and wings sits upon a throne as a black stallion with his head bowed holds up a message on his head for the seemingly queen to read.

"You may leave." She says with a royal fa tine voice.

The black stallion stands and rolls up the message with his muzzle and leaves the room with the message in his mouth. He leaves the room as the queen looks at all the Gothic style windows depicting many events on them of ponies and of a creature of some mythical being and of a baby dragon. She gives a heavy sigh and calls out, "I need a letter to be sent."

On cue a brown unicorn of the female gender rushes in with a scroll, feather, and ink with a brown aura glowing around them rushes into the room. She sits in front of the queen saying, "I'm ready Princess."

The "Princess" looks at one of the nearest Gothic windows and says, "My dearest Twilight Sparkle. I have an urgent quest of you..."

*Human world*

"That's a long slide..." Yūkan says giving a long whistle.

"What are you? Afraid?" The guy says pushing him a little towards the steep slope leading down further into the cave from the entrance.

"Of course not Tsumetai!" Yūkan says turning towards him with an angry look, "In fact I'm going first!"

At that Yūkan turns and jumps onto the slope and slides down it into darkness.

Tsumetai smiles and calls down, "Hows it looks down there!?"

No reply. Tsumetai shrugs and slides down behind him. The girl follows in pursuit. The slide takes longer than expected and than turns into a fall. They scream out in fear and slam onto the ground below them. The girl has a lighter fall having fallen on Tsumetai. Tsumetai groans for her to get off of him as Yūkan laughs at them. The girl quickly gets off and Tsumetai quickly gets up saying, "I could kill you Yūkan."

"Yea I know but you won't." Yūkan says rubbing the back of his head with a wide grin.

"Well I guess we know why people who come down here never come out." The girl says looking up the wall to the slope that led them to this. They couldn't even see the cave entrance from where they were. Just complete darkness.

A switch is heard and a light shines giving the girl a shadow on the wall. Yūkan moves his flashlight around and says, "Alright get your lights out! Adventure waits for no one."

The two others follow suit in getting out their flashlight. In front of them lies three different tunnels of the way they could go.

"Well looks like we could go all together one way or separate and go our own ways." Yūkan says looking down the right way with his flashlight that proves to be futile at seeing whats down it.

The three look at each other and begin to converse over it while at the same time three others were going through the same situation.

*The other world*

"Now hold your horses lass what's got you more worried than a squirrel getting ready for winter." A orange mare says sitting at a table accompanied by two mares with wings, two with horns, and another regular horse like her, "Now tell us about this mission Celestia got us going on again?"

The purple unicorn takes in a deep breath and calmer than before begins to speak.

"Well Princess Celestia just got a report that three little fillies one a earth pony, the other a pegasus, and one a unicorn have been reported of going into the cave north of Ponyville called the Cave of Cutie Marks. And by the way it sounds it seems it would imply that Applebloom, Scootaloo, and Sweetie Belle have gone into that forbidden cave."

The rest of the mares gasp in surprise with the clearer explanation of the situation.

"We've got to save those fillies!" the white unicorn yells stomping her right hoof on the table, "They don't know what kind of trouble they are getting into!"

"Oh my..." the yellow pegasus says looking at orange mare who has her head down and clutching her seat with her front hooves tightly.

The blue pegasus flies up yelling, "Well what the hay are we doing here waiting than! Lets go and save them!"

"Wait!" Twilight yells calming her friends down a little, "There is something you should know also... The rumors of the cave... They say if you go in.... there is no way back out... The cave is said to be the birth place of all cutie marks. a place even Celestia wouldn't tread. Not much is written down about that place. Most the history for it has been lost..."

The group rustles about murmuring things to themselves.

"Well that's just stupid!" the blue pegasus says still flying in the air, "To every entrance there is an exit so whatever book you red is wrong."

The purple unicorn's right ear twitches in irritation hating to be told she was "wrong".

"Rainbowdash I assure you books are not wrong." The purple unicorn says looking her flying friend dead in the eye.

"Girls focus..." The yellow pegasus says in a shy tone touching the purple unicorn on the shoulder, "Anything else we should know Twilight?"

"Well other than that there's nothing else I can say. No other data about whats inside the cave can be found." Twilight says shaking her head.

"Well... does that mean we don't go after them! Cause I'll be damned if I don't get Applebloom back!" Applejack yells tears running down her cheeks, "And if you guys don't go I'm sure as hay is!"

Twilight stands saying, "Don't worry we're going to save those fillies. We've got to take everything important for this mission and also we've got to be prepared for never coming back."

"I don't care just as long as I know Applebloom is safe!" Applejack yells still crying but just a little less now.

"Right. Well everyone lets get packing I'll make sure I pack a bunch of goodies for us all!" the pink earth pony says gleefully quickly getting up and heading up stairs of the building.

The friends separate after walking out of the establishment that looks similar to a ginger bread house

*Twilight's place*

"Spike. We've got to talk." Twilight says walking into her tree home that works separate as the town's local library.

"Okay what is is Twi?" Says a purple dragon that has green spikes going down its back and tail.

Twilight looks around the library that holds so many memories that shes shared with a lot of ponies. She smiles and says,"Well Spike pack your things."

Spike cocks his head and asks, "Why's that? Where are we going?"

"On a rescue mission. I'll explain on the way just grab everything that you really want with you when we go as well as for the mission."

Spike follows Twilight up to their room to see her packing assorted things into two large bags usually made for moving ponies. Twilight levitates a doll of a horse towards her where she places it in her the right bag. She levitates the bags unto her back and says, "Well Spike hurry up with the packing we've got some long days ahead of us."

Spike simply nods his head and begins looking for his travel bag to put things in.

*Rarity's house*

The white unicorn burst in through the door and quickly heads upstairs towards her room. She enters in and quickly starts levitating all sorts of items around and places them in a bag lying against the door.

"Don't worry Sweetie I'm coming for you." Rarity says running around the house with her bag behind her packing many things with her.

*Rainbowdash's place*

The blue pegasus flies through the air to her house up in the clouds. She quickly flies in and starts rummaging through the many things she has in her house. She finally finds her bag and start pilling things into it. She looks at the picture of her mom and dad and smiles hoping this isn't the last time she'll see this house.

"I know I'll be back."

*Pinkiepie's place*

The pink mare hops into her room where she stops and gives a long sigh. She looks out the window at the many buildings and the ponies that move about. The mention of the cave sparked something in her. She made sure not to let her friends know that.

"Sis..." She says moving things about scooping cupcakes and other utensils into her travel pack.

*Applejack's place*

The orange mare runs as fast as she can into the house yelling, "Apple emergency!"

Quick as a wit a well toned red stallion walks into the room followed by a green elderly mare asking, "Where's the fire!?"

Noticing the dried tear marks on the orange mares face the red stallion asks, "What happened?"

The orange mare runs up stairs yelling, "Applebloom is in a lot of trouble!"

"Sis slow down tell us what's happening." The red pony says in a deep worried voice.

The orange mare quickly starts packing things in her room for the travels and travels down stairs for food. The red stallion stops her in the kitchen.

"Applejack tell right now you need to tell us what's going on."

Applejack begins to explain what happened as she packs the food and other things she finds of use in the kitchen.

"Never come back?" The green mare says shaking her head, "That's unheard of!"

"I'll pack my things." The red stallion says walking towards the steps.

"No don't Big mac. You two need to stay here and watch the farm. The Apple farm still got to be taken care of. We'll come back. I know it!" Applejack says walking towards the front door.

She walks out the house keeping forward for Ponyville but mutters where the other two can't hear, "I hope."
