The former ponies walk into a dark swampy area, in which a long plain green snake with a large black eyes greets Rainbow Dash with a hiss. Twilight notices a sign,
"Hey, look everypony! Its a sign pointing were we were. It doesn't say anything, but it has a picture.." The group looked Twilight's way, to see a sign with a building picture, the building had a thatched roof, dark blue wood walls, and a wooden sign with a movie pattern on it, the building it showed looked small and round.
Suddenly, Rarity fired a beam from her unicorn horn, which she still happened to have, the same way Fluttershy and Rainbow Dash still had wings.
The entire groups attention darted to where Rarity was shooting, to show three strange black floating creatures, which were not to shortly destroyed, falling to the ground in the form of shiny colorful rubies, saphires, and emeralds. A pink rabbit with stitched sock-like things on her ears, and purple socks on her back paws was behind the group of phantoms, making a sigh of relief. The bunny was holding one of her paws, which had some dried blood around it.
"Oh dear, are you okay?" The unideer said, walking up to the rabbit.
"Yeah.. Besides my broken paw, I'm fine.. If it wasn't for you though, those phantoms probably would have killed me.." She bunny said, grateful of Rarity's appearance.
Rarity tried to talk,
"Uh, phantoms? 'Scuse me?" Applejack asked, confused.
"Those things were phantoms. Their evil creatures that came to Jamaa to destroy Mira and Zios and take over, either killing or enslaving any animal. I'm one the alphas, the newest one, my job is to help defend this world from them.. Sadly, they succeeding at destroying Zios, then banishing Mira to the realm of fire, but they were banished. They came back along with us, and now we're back in war.." The rabbit explained.
"So we got here in the middle of a w-" Apple was interupted,
"Well, we need to get you to the hospital before that wound gets infected. I think I could find one if I looked around enough." Rarity said, looking for one.
"If you go across the bridge to Jamaa Township, and go across the path to Kimbara, theres a hospital there. Not like I really need it, its a broken bone, but I broke my tailbone once and that was back before Kimbara was even discovered." The alpha said, wiggling her tail.
"If I tried hard enough, I could heal you with magic." Twilight began, "But for doing that, I'd like to know why I'm here."
"Well, I'm assuming your here for the same reason the other animals were. Coming to Jamaa, being greeted by Liza, and then you turned purple. I'm not sure why you have stripes though." She said.
"I used to be a pony, say, maybe an hour ago. In Equestria."
"Wait a minute.. Do any of you have any relations or anything to plants or animals?"
They all looked at Fluttershy, who began to talk.
"Uhm.. me.."
"By any chance are you all connected to a strong type of magic?"
They all said,
"The elements of harmony!"
The group sat in Captain Melville's Juice Hut, as the bunny talked.
"See, thats why you're here." She said, her paw now with a cast over it.
"Well, if the plants and animals are why, then why did the plants and animals get us here?" Rainbow Dash asked.
"Me, Cosmo, Liza, and Sir Gilbert were being ambushed by a massive army of phantoms, before I broke my paw. Cosmo told the plants to get the strongest force to Jamaa, to protect it in case we didn't get past, since we don't know if Greely is still here, and Graham couldn't defend it alone. We managed to fight off most of it, with bombseeds and plants, and we escaped. Later, I went on to protect the Temple of Zios while the others protected the rest of Jamaa, and the phantoms had planned an ambush there, after a lot of fighting, I broke my paw, and got cornered by three of them. You should know what happened after that. It turns out, your elements of harmony is very strong, so the plants used Fluttershy, who is the element of Kindness you say, to teleport all of you since your all connected through the elements." She said.
"So we're here to help save Jamaa from the phantoms?" Twilight asked,
"Pretty much." She said.
"Cool." Rainbow Dash smiled.
"Twilight! Wake up!" The alicorn felt something poke her, it didn't feel like a pony though. It felt more like a... Bunny paw? It sounded like Pinkie Pie though.
She also didn't remember even going to sleep! She got up, and looked around. In front of her was a pink bunny with curly fur and blue eyes, she also had a mark of three multicolored ballons on her-- Pinkie's cutie mark.
She saw a blue cheetah with magenta eyes, and its spotted were rainbow! She assumed it was Rainbow Dash.
She saw Applejack, but she looked a bit more.. Like a horse instead of a pony.
She noticed an elegant white deer, with some dark shiny purple on her too, Rarity..
Looking around, she still didn't see Fluttershy. She decided to take a look at herself,
And there she was. In the middle of an unknown place with all her friends being animals, and she just standing there, being a big, bright purple, arctic wolf, she had two stripes in her fur that looked like the stripes that were in her mane, she also had her cutie mark on her leg still.
"So, breaking the awkward silence, why exactly am I a cheetah?" Rainbow Dash asked.
"I.. have no idea, actually.." Twilight said, confused.
"And why am I a purple snake!?" A familiar voice yelled, it was Spike, who was not quite walking, but slithering to Twilight. He looked like a purple and green cobra snake.
"I'm not sure why any of us are, but I'm going to find out. First, though, where is Fluttershy?" She looked around, causing the others to look too.
"Ooh- Ooh! I KNOW I KNOW! Over there!" Pinkie yelled, pointing her paw at a large lion with a yellow fur, a light pink mane, that appeared to be female despite the lion's mane. It started to whimper upon noticing she was being looked at by the group.
"Hey now, why y'all hidin'?" Applejack said.
Fluttershy began walking toward the group, "Hi.." she said, in her normal voice.
"Okay, now that we're all together, we need to figure out where we are, why we're here, and how to get back- As ponies." Twilight said, and the aliwolf lead the animals of harmony down a path.
