Jared pulled Tristen out of the cave. "What took ya?", He asked sarcastically as Tristen got out.

Tristen looked up at his friend. "A dog grabbed me, dumbass.", he said.

Jared grunted and looked around. They were in the Everfree forest again. "Something about this spot reminds me of something.", Jared said curiously.

He looked up and saw a tree with a broken branch. "Of course.", Jared sighed.

Tristen walked up to Jared."This is where we started.", he said, remembering.

"Hmmmm!", rarity tried to scream.

The friends turned together. Rarity was crawling away pointing at the forest. Several pairs of eyes were staring back at her.

"Them again huh.", Tristen said getting in front of rarity.

"Apparently.", Jared replied staring at the eyes. Tristen helped rarity up.

"You guys get out of here.", Jared told them, pushing them away.

Tristen replied,"Are you insane!"

Jared turned to his friends and pushed them again. "Go!", he yelled.

Tristen reluctantly left with rarity. The eyes stayed at Jared.

Show me what you got, Jared thought to himself.

One of the pairs of eyes jumped out and showed itself. It was a large wolf made a bark. It had horns going back on its head. The other wolves jumped out and started to circle Jared.

The circle got smaller and smaller till one jumped at Jared. He dodged, grabbed it's horn and started swinging it around at the other wolves. The wolves jumped back and jumped at him, dodging the wolf he was swinging. Jared dodged them and climbed into a tree. The wolves scratched and clawed up the tree.

This is getting me nowhere fast, Jared thought to himself.

He jumped onto another tree's branch and another, jumping farther into the forest.

Tristen and rarity made it out of the forest. They headed towards town to get help. The group of ponies were still surrounding the hole. Pinkie was digging stairs along the sides. Tristen walked up to the group carrying Rarity.

"A little help.", he said aloud.

The ponies turned and gasped. Twilight and a blue Pegasus came and took Rarity.

"Thank you so much.", the Twilight said to Tristen.

He nodded as they carried her away. Applejack walked over to Tristen.

"How'd ya mange to get out?", she asked.

"Hey yeah. How did you?", the Twilight asked laying Rarity down.

"Jared came in and we basically dug our way out.", he said siting down. "That's also how we found Rarity."

A pegasus came up to him and fluttered in front if him. "Where is he? His he ok?", she asked.

Tristen sighed. "He's fighting something in the forest.

The group if ponies gasped. Twilight turned and looked at the group.

"Fluttershy, Pinkie, you stay here with Rarity. Applejack, Rainbow Dash, you come with us.", she ordered.

Tristen got up and went with the ponies towards the forest. Jared kept jumping from branch to branch, deeper into the forest. The wolves were still on his tail. He landed on a weak branch and it broke off. He fell to the ground, wolves still after him.

He was getting impatient with them. "Come on!", he screamed at the wolves.

He shrouded his fists in fire when one jumped at him. He stood his ground and punched the wolf in the face. The wolf fell back and rubbed his face in the ground. Jared saw smoke coming from the sides. A wolf jumped from behind him and pinned him to the ground. He heard a crack from his bag. The jar broke and starting leaking some gel. More and more wolves jumped on him and gnawed at his body, ripping off chunks of flesh. He tried to fight them off but there was too many.

Back father in the woods, the four ponies raced after Jared. "Do you know where he is?", Twilight asked Tristen.

"No idea.", he replied back.

"I'll see what I can do from above.", Rainbow said as she flew above the trees.

She looked out through the forest and heard faint growls coming from deeper in. She took off after the sound and the others followed her.

Jared screamed in pain as the wolves ripped chunks from his body. The gel kept dripping out in a steady stream next to his hand.

"Fuck it!", he said as he light the gel a blaze.

The fire quickly went up the stream and reached the source. The jar exploded with flames everywhere, incinerating the wolves. They whelped and whimpered as the drug themselves away.

"How much farther?", Applejack asked Rainbow.

"It should be right up-.", she started, but was cut off by a explosion in front of them.

The three ground ponies hid behind trees while Rainbow dodged the debris flying at them. They all watched as timberwolves crawled away from a charred body. They all looked to see who it was. The ripped apart unicorn collapsed in the remaining crater.

"Jared!", Tristen yelled as he ran up to his friend.

He put his ear to his chest. Still breathing. The other ponies came up and looked down at him.

"Come on, we can't leave him here.", Twilight said as she started picking him up with her magic.

"No shit.", Tristen said, stating the obvious, "Just look at him. If wasn't for the fact that his wounds were burned, he'd of bled to death already."

"Then lets hurry.", Applejack said, taking off out of the forest.
