Gathering the Universe

After the sudden flash, they all were somewhere else. They gathered where they were before continuing on. They seem to be in a forest. But, what forest and why?

"Everyone alright?" The unicorn asked hoping for good response.

"I'm fine... But why are we in a forest? Weren't we in the castle?" Twilight was confused as to what was going on. All of them were.

"...Are we in the Everfree?" Applejack asked

"The Everfree!..."

"Very timid one, I see" The unicorn stated

"I'm sorry, but It frightens me" Fluttershy said

"Just like everything"

"Spike, your not helping" Twilight said

"Well, excuuuuuuse me Princess"

They all just decided to ignore the statement. So it seems that they are in a place like the Everfree. "We aren't in the Everfree, Fluttershy"

"H-How did you know my name?"

"I know about all of you"

"That why you got the meeting ready, because you knew all of us" Twilight sounded shocked.

"Can you tell us your name then?" Rainbow dash asked

The grey unicorn looked around before he said his name "My name is Techno. Techno Gadgets"

They all looked at him, almost staring. "Why are you guys staring at me?"

"Can you tell us why you wanted that meeting?" Twilight asked

"It's a long tale, are you sure?"

"Well we aren't in the Everfree, so where are we, and why?" Applejack asked

"We are no longer in Equestria, I'm afraid" Saying that, they began to worry a little more.

"I think we should tell them, Techno" Grove said.

"Are you sure? It very dangerous" Techno remarked.

"What will they do if they don't know what going on?" Grove asked him.

Techno sigh, and began. "It was a long time ago, We had a little problem with a group of pony. They were anything but good, destroyed towns and even families, like Grove Flame here"

"So it was you, I remember you now" Twilight said

"You have a brother right?" Rainbow asked

"I do..." Grove's voice trailed off

"Anyways, the point is that they're here for something or someone" Techno said

"But what does this have to do with us?" Twilight asked.

"Your elements, that's what" Techno said

"What do our elements have to do with any of this? I mean we could have used them back there" Twilight stated.

"You wouldn't have gotten far, Twilight. See the elements aren't the only thing we need" Grove said

Now they all had no idea what was going on. 'There elements weren't the only thing' what could that mean?

"I'm sorry but, your making no sense" Twilight exclaimed

"We'll tell you more later, come on-" Grove was interrupted.

"At least, where are we?" Spike asked.

"Mushroom kingdom, now come on"

Techno just wanted to continue with the search. So they all headed out. Trying to figure out this maze of a forest.

Eventually they found the entrance, or exit. "We're out of there, finally" they all said with joy.

However that joy turned into shock as a big shadow slowly started to go right over them. They all looked up, astonished at what was above them.

"What's that?' Twilight asked

"I'll go check it out" And off Rainbow went. The the thing in the sky.

"Obviously, It a ship in the sky" Techno stated

However they were curious as to what it was themselves. So they all followed on the ground. Followed it right into a very strange looking town, filled with strange look inhabitants. Then they noticed the silhouette of the ship. It was big now that they're on the ground.

"That's huge" Twilight expressed. However, it wasn't a good ship.

"Bwahahaha. So you think you can stop me? Think again" The big turtle said and marched to his ship.

"I dare say, give the princess back...*Cough* *Cough*" Said the old looking mushroom.

"Bwahahaha. How about, not a chance" Then the turtle breathed fire and was boarding his ship, when...

"Stop, you" Scootaloo shouted at him.

The monster turned to face the Pegasus and said "Who in the world are you dumb horse?"

This didn't get on Scootaloo's happy side.

"Hey, you look almost like my problem just a few minutes ago" the turtle started to laugh.

"What did you do with her?" Twilight asked

"She done with"

Those words aren't the words he should have, This made Scootaloo fly right at him. He wasn't worried though, he simple stomped his feet and... POW his fist made the Pegasus fly far, right into a brick wall.

He continued on laughing it off.

"That wasn't funny" Pinkie said

But they should worry about the injured Pegasus in front of them. How are they going to fix this? What are they going to do?

Then out come two men, One wearing red, the other wearing green. They both continue towards the castle, when the one in the red notices the crowd.

"Scootaloo, are you alright. Please, oh please by alive" Applebloom and Sweetie Belle where very worried.

"Howdy, you two"

The red man observed the scene. Realized that if not quickly taken to care. The Pegasus will die. The red man said "Luigi, came on over" And the man in green, whose name seems to be Luigi, came over.

"Help me here"

"Okey dokey, Mario" Luigi said.

Then they both picked the Pegasus up and got her into the castle. The others following behind.

They go Scootaloo to safety. Grove Flame assisting them with the procedure.

"Ah... So you are talking ponies from Equestria" Toadsworth was utterly shocked.

They all briefly introduced each other. then the situation was explained. They had to find something, but first they needed to help Mario out. They decided to start tomorrow.
