Search For The Cure9. Safety Ounce Again1. The Chemical FireThe Factory near the coast of the Ocean and a river that runs through Equestria is known to be the most dangerous factory in Manhatten. But because the chemicals are so dangerous and the ponies working in it are always putting their lives on the line, the workers handle the chemicals carefully, which is why it has the least accidents. But that will change. KA-BOOM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! "RUN FOR YOUR LIVES!" "THE PLACE IS ABLAZE!' "WHERE'S MY CAR?!" "WHY IS THERE A FORK IN THE ROAD?! GO THIS WAY!" "I THINK I INHALLED SOMETHING! HELP!!!!" The factory exploded when the ponies began to work, everypony ran as fast as they can go. The factory's chemicals were ignited when somepony threw a match in a pile of chemicals, starting a fire and a chain reaction of explosions. One pony then noticed something even more frightening. "OH NO! THE CHEMICALS ARE LEAKING INTO THE WATER! EVEN IN THE OCEAN!" This sent ponies writing many messages to the princesses at ounce. They feared Equestria might not survive when it gets polluted. "Your Majesty." A messenger ran in with a letter from Manhatten, he was probably running very fast from whatever danger because Celestia noticed a few scratches on his side, and he was burnt badly. "Yes?' "A Chemical Factory exploded and was set ablaze, nopony's dead but some are in very critical condition, also the river and air is polluted and the crops are dying. The Ocean may be polluted as well." The Messenger explained. Celestia gasped, she then quickly sent for Twilight and Luna, and sent a message to Cadence and Shining Armor. "Why have you been looking for us?" Asked Luna, Her sister's expression was serious, and she knew it. " A Chemical fire ignited one of manhatten's factories, causing pollution in the water supply and the air we breath, the crops are also dying. I fear it would take years to recover from this. But...." KA-BOOM!!!!!!!!!!!!! Another explosion went off, it was heard by everypony in Equestria, the shock wave had destroyed nearby buildings, and it was so loud that it shattered a lot of the castle windows, leaving glass on the floor. Shocked, the princesses didn't talk much after that, they took flight toward manhatten. They met with Cadence on the way. "Wow, I did not expect to hear that from the Crystal empire! That was load." Exclaimed Cadence, She had heard the Explosion while reading Celestia's message. "There's the Fire!" Said Twilight with a hoof pointing at a Orange funnal shaped blaze. The smoke had darkened the sky completely, and the factory was now engulfed with flames. "We have to try the fire be gone spell I learned yesterday. It should do the trick!" Suggested Twilight, but in a panicked tone. One after the other, the Alicorns fought the fire with a blast of magic, It only did little affect, and soon the fire was out of control. "The Fire "cough" is way out of control "cough" let's try a water spell." said Cadence, coughing and wheezing at the time, she inhaled a little bit of smoke and was having trouble to remain in the air. But her water spell did the trick, and the fire disappeared. But the factory perished in the fire, so did a few buildings around it. All the ponies were safe, but they were having trouble breathing. The fire caused Equestria to have a injury count of five thousand six hundred eighty two ponies, from smoke inhalation, burns, shock waves, and surprisingly, broken bones. Nopony was killed, but many fear that they will all die because the fire caused air pollution, water pollution, and darkness. Which leads to no water, food, or air to breath. Ponies thought that this will be the End, they are in jeopardy, even the Crystal Empire. They are Doomed. 2. SufferingThree days after the fire, Equestria began to weaken, struggling to survive, they act quickly to save their prior sources, but no luck, two ponies had already died from the air pollution, but everypony else had held on. But Ponyville is suffering the most. Twilight receives a letter from Discord, saying, Dear Princess Twilight, I know that you may not like the fact that I had faked being sick. I hope you still forgive me, I got what I deserved, But I worry about Fluttershy and her animals, Ponyville needs help. So I decided to tell you to try and find your friends and see the damage they experienced from the Chemical fire. Please help them, I'll be fine. Sincerely, Discord. Twilight wasn't sure if discord was lying again. But she decided to find out herself. It turned out Discord was right, many of Ponyville's residents had inhaled smoke and had been dehydrated. Even the energetic Pinkie Pie was not happy, or had enough energy to walk without stopping to breath every ten feet. Twilight, saddened by this tragedy, then saw the apple farm, it had wilted away, and the apples were really weak, hungry, and thirsty. Twilight also saw many begging for food and water at the mayor. "Howdy Twilight." Twilight spun around to find Applejack, the other four, Rarity, Rainbow Dash, Fluttershy, and Pinkie Pie were on the ground, tired and hungry. Twilight felt sorry for her friends, Rainbow dash wasn't acting so daring at all, Rarity looked like she might have a heart attack, Pinkie and Fluttershy were starving, and Applejack was begging for water. That must've made the crowd begging at the mayor catch sight of Twilight, Immediately they ran to her and pleaded for food and water to their princess. "I'm sorry, but Canterlot has run dry as well, and I don't have any food with me." assured Twilight, The crowd groined. "We'll never survive this depression, we need you to please, please, please, find water and food, or we'll die!" The crowd had been begging so much that Twilight had promised the crowd that she would find Food, water, even clean air. But when she flew back to Canterlot, her friends followed by taking the train. "Celestia." Twilight had found the princess of the sun in the dining hall with Luna and Cadence, wondering about the condition of the Ponies in Canterlot, and in other places. Twilight saying her name had caught them by surprise, Twilight's expression was very sad, and tears were forming in her eyes. "What is it?" asked Luna in a worried tone, fearing the worst. "Ponyville has suffered the most, my friends aren't sure how long they can hold on, they beg for a food, water, and clean air source. I promised I'll find one, but will you help me, we can even do this for all of...." "cough" The Princesses, including Twilight, spun around to see Twilight's friends bowing respectively, but they were having trouble breathing, it was labored from smoke inhalation, and they were not energetic from not having enough water or food for three days. "I think that proves you to be right." exclaimed Cadence. That's when she noticed a messenger behind them. "Yes?" Everypony looks at the stallion that walked in, he had obviously been in manhatten, because his right leg perished in the fire. "I think I know where we can end this problem." he said. 3. Across The OceanThe Messenger said that this place had been never trusted, but it is somewhere in the Ocean. The Princesses didn't waste any time after he left. They prepared a boat and rushed over to the docks. The Wooden sailor's boat wasn't good for storms, and there were clouds as dark as the sky, oh wait, the sky is already black. Moving on! "Those clouds are probably trouble, I think we should follow my friend's boat...Wait What?!" Twilight's friends yet again followed her, this annoyed Twilight, but it was better then letting them get bored. The princesses decided to follow them, into the smoke covered storm. But this was risky, because Twilight's friends were in a very bad condition, and their boats had leaks, to eat. "Yes, Food!" Exclaimed Pinkie, the others saw pinkie's discovery. Then, it happened. "AUUUUUUUUUUUGGGGGGHHHHHHH!" Yes, they began fighting for the leaks, sounds silly, but because they were fighting, an actual leak sprang open. "Quickly, get a bottle cap, cover the hole." Ounce the hole was covered with, sticks and mud, Twilight started shouting at them. "LOOK OUT! A WATER SPOUT! TURN AWAY! TURN AWAY!" Twilight spotted a funnal shaped cloud in the water, and then she realized, "CRACK" She heard a sickening crack of a boat. "Oh no!" she looked at where her friends were last, and they were there, they did something to the water spout, let's see what they did. "Turn away, why the hay...Oh barbecue sauce!" Applejack spotted the danger, just what she needed, a water tornado. "Pinkie, Fluttershy, get the boat out of here! I'll try something, Rainbow, get that cyclone towards me!" Rainbow Dash thought that Applejack was crazy, but she promised to do her best, and started to get the water spout under control, but it wasn't easy, she nearly got sucked in a few times. That's when Applejack tossed her lasso around the Water tornado, making a sickening crack sound, and disappearing into thin air. "I guess you guys are feeling better ever since that accident." exclaimed Twilight. But their relief is short-lifted. "What's that?" asked Pinkie Pie, pointing a hoof at a swirling thing in the water, it was also moving. "ON NO! A WHIRLPOOL!!!!!" The Princesses and Twilight's friends had went in the direction of strange water patterns. The whirlpool was it, and they were getting sucked in. "Quickly, if we can cover the hole, maybe we can escape!" Twilight's idea might work, if they just find something... "The Leaks!" "What!" "No silly, these!" Pinkie was holding one of the leaks she found in the boat. "But Pinkie, that's our only food supply!" "Trust me!" Pinkie Pie and Applejack argued if using the food supply would work. "It will sink in with the whirlpool!" "But have you noticed that we have never tried it!" "We'll Starve!" "We also have more food and water!" "We....we do?" "Yeah, see?" Pinkie pointed at a total of sixteen barrels, Eight with food and the other eight with water. "I guess I never should've doubted you, go on ahead partner." Pinkie then eagerly threw all the leaks in the water, amazingly, the leaks floated, But why do they sink boats? Anyway...The leaks were then sucked in, but the hole was not big enough to hold all the leaks, It stopped sucking in the boats, it stopped moving. Then it happens. KA-BOOOMMMMM!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The whirlpool exploded, the leaks flew into the air, Some landed in Equestria, others hit Twilight in the head. Everypony else were fascinated by this outcome, a wave was also pushing the boats away from the incident. The Wave was six feet tall and fifteen feet wide, and not blue like it was supposed to be, but purple from pollution. But the wave got taller but smaller in width every minute. But suddenly, the boats hit something, and the wave dies. They had discovered land. 4. Exploring The IslandThe island was huge, and the beach was soft under the pony's hooves. Much like the beach back at Equestria, weelll, before pollution, it had all sorts of wildlife and surprisingly, no chemical wastes at all. The Island itself was not big enough for all of Equestria's residents, but it was good for the princesses and the mane six to stay for a while. Even though it may look like a safe place, the ponies knew what could be lurking though the trees of the forest. Ursas, Scopios, Lupusses, ext. "Well, it looks like we can't go into the heart of the island without somepony else be with another. We'll have to make groups, I'll go with Cadence, Celestia and Luna go together." One by one, Twilight made the groups, Rainbow Dash would stay near the ships, Pinkie Pie and Fluttershy would go in together, and finally Applejack and Rarity also together. "I hope Applejack listens to my advices." "Don't you tell me what to do!" Applejack and Rarity still may conflict in differences, but they still are getting better at trusting each other. But the chemical fire has left them arguing about, well, a lot of pointless stuff. Soon they had split up, and what they each find is about to be revealed. "Um, Pinkie, would you wait for me? Pinkie? Hello? Pinkie?" Fluttershy had slowed down a little while Pinkie bounced ahead, but she found Pinkie on the ground, or rock, thingy, step? It looked like Pinkie saw it first and then passed out. Fluttershy looked up, to find a Temple of some sort. She didn't pass out like Pinkie did, but she didn't like Pinkie snoozing, or whatever she's doing. "PINKIE!" "What? Oh hey there Fluttershy! Why did you yell? Because you saw the temple?" "Um, well.....let's go inside." Said Fluttershy quickly, wanting to change the subject. Soon the friends were inside. "SLAM!" "WH-What happened?!" "The door slammed shut, but now the temple's our!" said Pinkie, with eagerness to explore, Fluttershy, on the other hoof, wanted to be back outside. After finding many treasure rooms, a throne room, a room filled with Idols, and so much more, Pinkie starts to have the others ring into her mind, really. RING, RING, RING. "This is so awesome! I can't believe we can't invite the others. First let's find a way out, and then get the others to come to my....I mean, heh heh, OUR wonderific, Being-In-A-Dark-Scary-Temple-Party! This will be so exciting!" "First let's get out of here." Fluttershy suggested, not wanting Pinkie to start rigging the place, how horrifying it would be if Pinkie made the place collapse. Back in one of the treasure rooms, well, after searching every other room, The duo is about to give up. "My party will never be the same, well our party, but this coins are mine...wait, what's that noise?" Pinkie Pie had lifted a few coins, wanting them for herself, when the room rumbled, sorta like somepony's empty stomach. That's When the wall on one side had completely flipped into ground position, It was a secret tunnel. "Maybe that's our ticket to leave." Said Pinkie. "I think your right." answered Fluttershy, and with that the ponies entered the Black passage. "I see light!" Said Fluttershy, pointing at a white figure in the distance, but the light wasn't bright. But that never stopped Pinkie Pie before, she bounced over to the light, like a fly to a lamp. Fluttershy Followed. "AN OPENING!" They did it, they escaped the temple like Jonah escaping the Whale's belly, according to the bible. "Let's not go there again anytime soon Pinkie, I don't want everyone to be trapped in there like us." "Oh, okay, but only because you don't want to have us eaten by a ancient ruin again, HAHA!" "Sister, wait up!" Celestia and Luna had wandered near the heart of the island, nothing dangerous so far, well, not yet, at least. "Sister? Um, Celestia? What are you looking at?" Luna then noticed what her sister had been staring at, a abandoned castle. The Sisters then stared at the castle for a few seconds, then at each other, if they had enough courage to go into the Ancient Ruin. Finally, they didn't hold back any longer after another few minutes, they entered the ounce beautiful castle of Ancient times. The Arts were fabulous, it was like Canterlot again, but these had different symbols, of some empire that the Royal sisters couldn't identify. "SLAM!" "What? who's there? Oh no! Celestia, come quick! We're trapped!" Luna noticed the Castle doors slam shut, called for her sister to combine their magic to get out. But the doors were not moving the slightest inch. "What should we do sister?" "We'll have to find another way out of this castle." "But how? We explored every room and found nothing...." CREEEEEEEEECK! "Scratch that, I think we found something." Luna, correcting herself said, hearing a door opening in the library. The Royal Sisters decided to investigate. In the library filled with ancient books and cobwebs. They found a what looked like a passage door opened up, it lead directly outside. The Princesses hurried over to the opening and escaped the castle, with nothing but a scratch. "I don't want to be here anytime soon, wait, Sister? Do you think the books have information on how to be-rid of the chemicals back home?" "Maybe, but let's collect a few books QUICKLY, I don't want to be in that awful mess again, not now, not ever." "How much farther Twilight?" The Sisters in Law, Cadence and Twilight, were exploring the beaches of the island, the wildlife was really nice and so on, but no enemies, or ponies accept for them were anywhere to be seen. Twilight runs ahead, Cadence on her tail. But Twilight suddenly stops. "Twilight, keep going we...What in Equestria!" They stopped in front of a fortress, a old, big, and destroyed fortress. There was a giant hole in the middle of the fortress, assuming that a unicorn army fired many rounds of magic at the military stand, Twilight and Cadence, didn't want to get to close, remembering from Cadence's last visit to Ponyville, Discord made them face a monster from a hole in the ground. Even though unharmed in the event, they almost got eaten by the Ugly beast. "Let's be very careful, and explore it before something weird comes from the hole." Suggested Cadence, and Twilight agreed. They checked every bit of the ruin, finding nothing important but the, well, GIANT hole. They decided to leave. Only to find pretty much the fortress crumbling, the Sisters in law then realize they need to leave, fast, but the doors were somehow shut, and the glass windows were not openings, or were they? Twilight ran over to a window. "Quick! Help me find a key or something to unlock the window!" "Or throw a rock at it." Replied Cadence, the Alicorn then threw rocks she found on the floor at the window, on impact, the window shattered to tiny little pieces, The princesses now have a way out of the old and small fortress. "C'mon!" Twilight said, the fortress collapsing as she spoke. They jumped through the window, they escape without injury, but the fortress falls, on top of the hole. "I'm not going here at all soon!" Said Twilight, tired from escaping what could have been death. Rarity and Applejack hadn't made any fuss, or really not any words came out of their mouths, but when they round the corner. "Applejack, why did you stop? You know it's....it's.....Um, Applejack? I think we have a bad dungeon problem." They found what appeared to be a jailhouse dungeon building. {The Castle didn't have a dungeon inside.} Hoping for no problems, the unicorn and earth pony went inside. "SLAM!" "What was that? I think somepony else is hear!" Rarity shrieked, she didn't want to have the new pony shocked by their appearance. "Quick! Let's get out of here!" The Pair had been so frightened of somepony else being in the building, they didn't even try the now locked door, they barreled through the wall like a buffalo rampage. "I hope somepony doesn't notice the....um....damage we caused." Applejack chuckled in response. Rainbow Dash was flying around the area of the boats. She didn't like hanging around, she wanted to explore the new land, but the Alicorns insisted. She liked the inside of the boat she rode in, it had a place where she could attempt playing board games, or something to keep her from doing nothing. While she was doing a game of darts, she heard hooves running towards the boat, she looked to find her friends. She ran to greet them. "So, How'd it go?" "Well...." Ounce Rainbow Dash heard everything, she started giggling so hard that everypony wondered why, did she know something they didn't know? "This island's building always locks them in, by the front door at least." Rainbow Dash explained. "I found that out in one of these books on the boat." Well, despite being trapped, they knew they were alone, nopony else was there. The Alicorns can try to figure out how to get rid of the chemicals back in Equestria, and the others had started preparing to leave the island. They may be trapped or something, but their teamwork in each team pulled off. They succeeded in exploring the new land, and they will leave the next day. 5. Meanwhile In PonyvilleDuring the nine mares' quest, Ponyville continues to suffer from pollution in the air and water, the crops wilted and died, and nothing was left. The Cutie Mark Crusaders had never felt this sick before, nopony had, but the Chemical fire had now killed all of Equestria's sources. "Where's Rainbow Dash when you need her?" asked Scootaloo. The Crusaders remembered that Rainbow Dash went out at sea with her friends and princesses to find a cure for the chemicals, but they have not returned for days, what if something terrible happened? Sweete belle got to her hooves, but she was weak, along with friends and families, had became very hungry, thirsty, and gasping for clean air. Ever since the princesses left to find the cure of this problem. The Residents groaned from their daily struggles, have the princesses abandoned them? No, that can't be, the princesses would never leave just because they think their kingdom is doomed, never in a million years would they do that. But Applebloom was thinking that her older sister was enjoying a new sight, that has not been polluted along with everything else. "Let's go find somepony that can help us, you know, like a new pony in town, very rich, has his own water system." said a local pony. The Residents hope to find somepony not sick, weak, tired, hungry, thirsty, or breathing polluted air. But no luck. Nopony is sure where the princesses are, but they still hope for their return, with a cure at the very least, but their main focus is survival until the alicorns come back with a magic plant or herb, or something. In fact, the pollution was so bad that maybe a herb wasn't strong enough, or, at least, the way they thought about it. In the Everfree forest where Zecora lives, the pollution never affected it, and Zecora never knew about it, thinking about the chemical fire and it's nightmare, but thinking the fire was quickly taken care and there were no problems, she stayed at her hut, unaware of the ponies' struggles, until... KNOCK, KNOCK, KNOCK "Come in, and don't be scared, for I will not harm you, for I care." Zecora answered, thinking a newcomer had came to see her. But when she saw that it was the Cutie Mark Crusaders, she paused, wandering why their condition was very bad. "Why do you seek me, little fillys, and why are you not your regular self sillys?" "That darn fire burnt the chemical place real bad." "Yeah, and the fire caused the land to be polluted, we have no food or water, not even lean air." "We came here to ask if you could help us in our struggle to survive. Please." The fillys cried pleas like the adults did. "I can see the fire itself had been worse than Princess Twilight's image of Nightmare Moon, but even I can't undo this soon. But I can try something mysterious to me, maybe Equestria's fate along with yours would change you see." Zecora then revealed a bottle of liquid unknown to them, but it was like the one Twilight drank to see the past. But this was different, this was a green liquid. "Give this to the Princesses, so they can each have a drink, it would make them powerful enough to stop this spreading like ink." Zecora instructed the fillys to do when the Princesses see them. The fillys thanked Zecora and said that they will never forget what role Zecora played to stop the chemicals from infecting the land anymore, now it was time to wait for the Mares' return. The wait begins now. 6. Life On The IslandThe nine Mares that left to find a cure are now currently on the island that is like a summer villa. But no luck finding any imformation on the mysterious cure of the chemicals back home. Somehow, they had survived a long time on the island, finding water in the boats they came there in. The Princesses' magic was stronger now, but something was missing. The Princesses continued to read the ancient legends while the other five decided to do something, well, or get survival gear. Yep, they were out of food, but during their time exploring, Applejack spotted some coconuts, as well as Strawberries. They weren't apples, but still they looked tasty. "We'll be right back, I promise, after I find a juicy amount of berries, and Somehow Rarity gets the coconuts, we'll be back." Then, of they went into the forest, but then again, the pair would argue about a few things, and argue they did for a bit on how to get the coconuts down from the tree, and that led to a few problems. "Applejack, wait!" "I thought we were going to get the coconuts with your magic." "But my magic isn't for major things, but for minor things. Besides, I'm not a unicorn who has an adventurous attitude like Rainbow Dash, I'm just a dress maker, and even though I lost that fashion contest in Manehatten, I didn't care that I lost, I was glad you actually stayed after how I treated you." The two argued, trying to bring points up to get the upper hand, but despite the crazy conflict, Applejack was also starting to buck at a coconut tree. She knew Rarity's magic was strong enough to get at least a dozen of coconuts, it looked like she had good points one after the other. After bucking the tree five times, coconuts had started to fall like, well, coconuts. Some hit Rarity's head, leaving a bump near her horn. "Applejack, Careful!" Rarity screamed in pain, and then another one of the nuts hit Rarity again, this time Rarity lost conscious, and had hit the ground hard. Applejack groined, now she had to carry Rarity along with the strawberries and coconuts. When they finally got back, they noticed that the Alicorns were running around, as if they were searching for something,or if Pinkie Pie was hosting a of hide and seek. But Applejack wasn't sure. "What the hay is going on here?" asked Applejack, having to jump back many times, almost dropping Rarity. "Another one of those animals had terrorized the place." Informed Cadence. Confirming that Pinkie hadn't started another one of her childish games. When the animal, a little hawk, left, it had some parts of the camp destroyed. But it usually happened, and the mares learned how to reconstrust their camp. That's when later. "Everyone to the boats! We need to find a potion that me and the other princesses take a sip of to improve our magic to get rid of the chemicals! We must find it!" Twilight found a page in one of the ancient books on how to cure the chemical problem, and they needed to find it very soon, or Equestria will be covered with chemicals forever. 8. Alicorns Vs. ChemicalsThe Nine Mares swiftly made it to Ponyville. Hearts heavy, they spread word that their search had failed and that unless the Alicorn Princesses can swiftly find another way, they would not survive the terrible accident. Many ponies then started panicking, some started to cry, and others started to give the Alicorns attacking strategy against the Poison. "WAIT!!!!!!!!!!!" The shout from three little fillys startled everypony including the Princesses. It came from the Crusaders, and they were holding a bottle, the same potion given to them by Zecora was in fact the Potion the Alicorns were looking for, it was a sheer shock. "Where in Equestria did you find it?!" "We got it from Zecora's place, claims she found it near a Everfree forest river." Ponies started cheering for joy when suddenly, it stops, the Crusaders and The nine other mares saw it too, Discord came out of nowhere and was striking at the chemicals with his magic, he was hating the fact that the chemicals had made Fluttershy's Animals sick that he couldn't take it anymore. This brave act started unicorns striking the chemicals with their remaining magic, but even though the aggressive magic was fending of some chemicals, most of them still remained. "Oh, we have to help Discord, Princesses, drink the potion, it should help you protect all of us without magic." Fluttershy said to the four Alicorns. Fearing the worst for her friend. The Princesses then took a sip each, then, Nothing. But then, KAPOW! The Princesses were then turned into a green cloud, and then launched itself at the chemicals, startleling many ponies. Watching in horror were the ponies as the Green clouds struck the chemicals. Hours and hours passed and the green clouds did not stop fighting the chemicals or give the dangerous stuff to reform. Lighting struck the sky and splits it to many pieces, and thunderbolts caused many loud explosions in the sky. The Green clouds had the upper hand of the dramatic fight. All of Equestria saw the fight and heard the cracks and booms of the thunder and lighting. The local D.J, Vinyl Scratch, was also very scared, but not like Octavia, She was scared so much that she was wanting something to happen to end the war. But the fight continued, along side with Discord, the green clouds started to have the chemicals under control, but they wanted the whole thing gone, and I mean, EVERYTHING, every last polluted cloud, drop of water, and crop gone, so Equestria would survive, but soon the potion was wearing off, and before they knew it, the princesses fell to the ground. Gasps ran through the ponies as Discord ran to find them knocked out, the princesses had not recovered from the fall, but their efforts were amazingly effective, the chemicals only comsumed only a few clouds left, while Fluttershy tended to the Princesses, Discord finished off the chemicals ounce and for all, with Pepper if you can believe it. All of Equestria cheered for the princesses and Discord for their impressive efforts to save them. But the question remains, has the princesses survived the ordeal? Many run up to the Alicorns, Fluttershy had bandaged Celestia's leg, Luna's hoof, Cadence's side, and Twilight's horn. Discord then helps Fluttershy move the princesses to Fluttershy's cottage. All of Equestria awaits the fate of their saviors. 7. Search For The CureThe last the mares saw the island was when they were seventy feet away from it, when clouds blocks their view. But they were chemical clouds. The situation was getting worse so badly that time was almost out, that when the mares saw the cloud, they knew that in a matter of days, that Equestria will be destroyed. "We have to find that potion, or we'll have to find new land." "Or say goodbye to our subjects." The sisters knew that time was running out. If the chemicals consume them too, they will die along with Equestria. Sailing in the smoky clouds was very dangerous, but they had to do it, if it means dying in the process. But the potion was nowhere to be seen, according to the book, it floats on the ocean waters like a message in the jar, even the weight of the potion wouldn't sink it. Wave after wave passed and the bottle nowhere in sight, and island after island was searched. But the potion was never found. "I think I see another island!" Shouted Applejack, thunder and lighting was flashing and making Applejack's shout deaf to her friends, but Celestia heard the apple farmer to find a huge landmass in the clearing. They heaved the ships toward the landmass. But to their surprise, the beach looked familier, coughing ponies, many of them. "Oh No! We returned to Equestria, the potion might not be here!" "Let's just look, maybe it swept up shore." Luna's idea then brought Twilight to lighten her spirits, but she knew that the ponies might follow. " Let's keep ourselves hidden for now, if we don't find the potion, then we'll go to Ponyville, we'll have to spread the tragedy." So the search now was on the beaches, on by one searched for the cure. Each running into a problem. "Crocodiles?!" Yes Crocodiles, in fact, the Reptiles had attempted to escape the chemicals, each one holding something their mouth. "Make them open their mouths." Instructed Twilight, then Pinkie Pie had started doing funny dances like some when she faced off Cheese sandwich. "Nothing, and that's the last straw." After that the mares sadly traviled to Ponyville. 9. Safety Ounce AgainCelestia opened her eyes to find herself in the palace medical chamber. Along with the other princesses, they were injured in battle of the mysterious chemicals. "Did it work?" asked Cadence, the four Alicorns then rushed to the window, finding the land safe ounce again. "Let's try making a trip to Ponyville." Suggested Luna. With a easy teleportaition spell they made it to the streets of the town. "Wow, we could have done that many times earlier!" said Twilight, realizing something she didn't even think on doing. Everypony then rushed to the princesses with smiles and shouts for joy. The disaster was over and Equestria was safe from harm ounce again. Fluttershy ran with Angel Bunny behind her, and the other four behind her. "We did it! You did it! I hope this never happens again!" said Rarity, with glee in her tone. Everyone smiled and smiled and smiled for the rest of the day, and finally not having to breath unclean air made it even better. The End Author's Note I know, not very good, but it's a start, and I promise there will be better stories in the future, but I hope you enjoyed this story!
1. The Chemical FireThe Factory near the coast of the Ocean and a river that runs through Equestria is known to be the most dangerous factory in Manhatten. But because the chemicals are so dangerous and the ponies working in it are always putting their lives on the line, the workers handle the chemicals carefully, which is why it has the least accidents. But that will change. KA-BOOM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! "RUN FOR YOUR LIVES!" "THE PLACE IS ABLAZE!' "WHERE'S MY CAR?!" "WHY IS THERE A FORK IN THE ROAD?! GO THIS WAY!" "I THINK I INHALLED SOMETHING! HELP!!!!" The factory exploded when the ponies began to work, everypony ran as fast as they can go. The factory's chemicals were ignited when somepony threw a match in a pile of chemicals, starting a fire and a chain reaction of explosions. One pony then noticed something even more frightening. "OH NO! THE CHEMICALS ARE LEAKING INTO THE WATER! EVEN IN THE OCEAN!" This sent ponies writing many messages to the princesses at ounce. They feared Equestria might not survive when it gets polluted. "Your Majesty." A messenger ran in with a letter from Manhatten, he was probably running very fast from whatever danger because Celestia noticed a few scratches on his side, and he was burnt badly. "Yes?' "A Chemical Factory exploded and was set ablaze, nopony's dead but some are in very critical condition, also the river and air is polluted and the crops are dying. The Ocean may be polluted as well." The Messenger explained. Celestia gasped, she then quickly sent for Twilight and Luna, and sent a message to Cadence and Shining Armor. "Why have you been looking for us?" Asked Luna, Her sister's expression was serious, and she knew it. " A Chemical fire ignited one of manhatten's factories, causing pollution in the water supply and the air we breath, the crops are also dying. I fear it would take years to recover from this. But...." KA-BOOM!!!!!!!!!!!!! Another explosion went off, it was heard by everypony in Equestria, the shock wave had destroyed nearby buildings, and it was so loud that it shattered a lot of the castle windows, leaving glass on the floor. Shocked, the princesses didn't talk much after that, they took flight toward manhatten. They met with Cadence on the way. "Wow, I did not expect to hear that from the Crystal empire! That was load." Exclaimed Cadence, She had heard the Explosion while reading Celestia's message. "There's the Fire!" Said Twilight with a hoof pointing at a Orange funnal shaped blaze. The smoke had darkened the sky completely, and the factory was now engulfed with flames. "We have to try the fire be gone spell I learned yesterday. It should do the trick!" Suggested Twilight, but in a panicked tone. One after the other, the Alicorns fought the fire with a blast of magic, It only did little affect, and soon the fire was out of control. "The Fire "cough" is way out of control "cough" let's try a water spell." said Cadence, coughing and wheezing at the time, she inhaled a little bit of smoke and was having trouble to remain in the air. But her water spell did the trick, and the fire disappeared. But the factory perished in the fire, so did a few buildings around it. All the ponies were safe, but they were having trouble breathing. The fire caused Equestria to have a injury count of five thousand six hundred eighty two ponies, from smoke inhalation, burns, shock waves, and surprisingly, broken bones. Nopony was killed, but many fear that they will all die because the fire caused air pollution, water pollution, and darkness. Which leads to no water, food, or air to breath. Ponies thought that this will be the End, they are in jeopardy, even the Crystal Empire. They are Doomed.
2. SufferingThree days after the fire, Equestria began to weaken, struggling to survive, they act quickly to save their prior sources, but no luck, two ponies had already died from the air pollution, but everypony else had held on. But Ponyville is suffering the most. Twilight receives a letter from Discord, saying, Dear Princess Twilight, I know that you may not like the fact that I had faked being sick. I hope you still forgive me, I got what I deserved, But I worry about Fluttershy and her animals, Ponyville needs help. So I decided to tell you to try and find your friends and see the damage they experienced from the Chemical fire. Please help them, I'll be fine. Sincerely, Discord. Twilight wasn't sure if discord was lying again. But she decided to find out herself. It turned out Discord was right, many of Ponyville's residents had inhaled smoke and had been dehydrated. Even the energetic Pinkie Pie was not happy, or had enough energy to walk without stopping to breath every ten feet. Twilight, saddened by this tragedy, then saw the apple farm, it had wilted away, and the apples were really weak, hungry, and thirsty. Twilight also saw many begging for food and water at the mayor. "Howdy Twilight." Twilight spun around to find Applejack, the other four, Rarity, Rainbow Dash, Fluttershy, and Pinkie Pie were on the ground, tired and hungry. Twilight felt sorry for her friends, Rainbow dash wasn't acting so daring at all, Rarity looked like she might have a heart attack, Pinkie and Fluttershy were starving, and Applejack was begging for water. That must've made the crowd begging at the mayor catch sight of Twilight, Immediately they ran to her and pleaded for food and water to their princess. "I'm sorry, but Canterlot has run dry as well, and I don't have any food with me." assured Twilight, The crowd groined. "We'll never survive this depression, we need you to please, please, please, find water and food, or we'll die!" The crowd had been begging so much that Twilight had promised the crowd that she would find Food, water, even clean air. But when she flew back to Canterlot, her friends followed by taking the train. "Celestia." Twilight had found the princess of the sun in the dining hall with Luna and Cadence, wondering about the condition of the Ponies in Canterlot, and in other places. Twilight saying her name had caught them by surprise, Twilight's expression was very sad, and tears were forming in her eyes. "What is it?" asked Luna in a worried tone, fearing the worst. "Ponyville has suffered the most, my friends aren't sure how long they can hold on, they beg for a food, water, and clean air source. I promised I'll find one, but will you help me, we can even do this for all of...." "cough" The Princesses, including Twilight, spun around to see Twilight's friends bowing respectively, but they were having trouble breathing, it was labored from smoke inhalation, and they were not energetic from not having enough water or food for three days. "I think that proves you to be right." exclaimed Cadence. That's when she noticed a messenger behind them. "Yes?" Everypony looks at the stallion that walked in, he had obviously been in manhatten, because his right leg perished in the fire. "I think I know where we can end this problem." he said.
3. Across The OceanThe Messenger said that this place had been never trusted, but it is somewhere in the Ocean. The Princesses didn't waste any time after he left. They prepared a boat and rushed over to the docks. The Wooden sailor's boat wasn't good for storms, and there were clouds as dark as the sky, oh wait, the sky is already black. Moving on! "Those clouds are probably trouble, I think we should follow my friend's boat...Wait What?!" Twilight's friends yet again followed her, this annoyed Twilight, but it was better then letting them get bored. The princesses decided to follow them, into the smoke covered storm. But this was risky, because Twilight's friends were in a very bad condition, and their boats had leaks, to eat. "Yes, Food!" Exclaimed Pinkie, the others saw pinkie's discovery. Then, it happened. "AUUUUUUUUUUUGGGGGGHHHHHHH!" Yes, they began fighting for the leaks, sounds silly, but because they were fighting, an actual leak sprang open. "Quickly, get a bottle cap, cover the hole." Ounce the hole was covered with, sticks and mud, Twilight started shouting at them. "LOOK OUT! A WATER SPOUT! TURN AWAY! TURN AWAY!" Twilight spotted a funnal shaped cloud in the water, and then she realized, "CRACK" She heard a sickening crack of a boat. "Oh no!" she looked at where her friends were last, and they were there, they did something to the water spout, let's see what they did. "Turn away, why the hay...Oh barbecue sauce!" Applejack spotted the danger, just what she needed, a water tornado. "Pinkie, Fluttershy, get the boat out of here! I'll try something, Rainbow, get that cyclone towards me!" Rainbow Dash thought that Applejack was crazy, but she promised to do her best, and started to get the water spout under control, but it wasn't easy, she nearly got sucked in a few times. That's when Applejack tossed her lasso around the Water tornado, making a sickening crack sound, and disappearing into thin air. "I guess you guys are feeling better ever since that accident." exclaimed Twilight. But their relief is short-lifted. "What's that?" asked Pinkie Pie, pointing a hoof at a swirling thing in the water, it was also moving. "ON NO! A WHIRLPOOL!!!!!" The Princesses and Twilight's friends had went in the direction of strange water patterns. The whirlpool was it, and they were getting sucked in. "Quickly, if we can cover the hole, maybe we can escape!" Twilight's idea might work, if they just find something... "The Leaks!" "What!" "No silly, these!" Pinkie was holding one of the leaks she found in the boat. "But Pinkie, that's our only food supply!" "Trust me!" Pinkie Pie and Applejack argued if using the food supply would work. "It will sink in with the whirlpool!" "But have you noticed that we have never tried it!" "We'll Starve!" "We also have more food and water!" "We....we do?" "Yeah, see?" Pinkie pointed at a total of sixteen barrels, Eight with food and the other eight with water. "I guess I never should've doubted you, go on ahead partner." Pinkie then eagerly threw all the leaks in the water, amazingly, the leaks floated, But why do they sink boats? Anyway...The leaks were then sucked in, but the hole was not big enough to hold all the leaks, It stopped sucking in the boats, it stopped moving. Then it happens. KA-BOOOMMMMM!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The whirlpool exploded, the leaks flew into the air, Some landed in Equestria, others hit Twilight in the head. Everypony else were fascinated by this outcome, a wave was also pushing the boats away from the incident. The Wave was six feet tall and fifteen feet wide, and not blue like it was supposed to be, but purple from pollution. But the wave got taller but smaller in width every minute. But suddenly, the boats hit something, and the wave dies. They had discovered land.
4. Exploring The IslandThe island was huge, and the beach was soft under the pony's hooves. Much like the beach back at Equestria, weelll, before pollution, it had all sorts of wildlife and surprisingly, no chemical wastes at all. The Island itself was not big enough for all of Equestria's residents, but it was good for the princesses and the mane six to stay for a while. Even though it may look like a safe place, the ponies knew what could be lurking though the trees of the forest. Ursas, Scopios, Lupusses, ext. "Well, it looks like we can't go into the heart of the island without somepony else be with another. We'll have to make groups, I'll go with Cadence, Celestia and Luna go together." One by one, Twilight made the groups, Rainbow Dash would stay near the ships, Pinkie Pie and Fluttershy would go in together, and finally Applejack and Rarity also together. "I hope Applejack listens to my advices." "Don't you tell me what to do!" Applejack and Rarity still may conflict in differences, but they still are getting better at trusting each other. But the chemical fire has left them arguing about, well, a lot of pointless stuff. Soon they had split up, and what they each find is about to be revealed. "Um, Pinkie, would you wait for me? Pinkie? Hello? Pinkie?" Fluttershy had slowed down a little while Pinkie bounced ahead, but she found Pinkie on the ground, or rock, thingy, step? It looked like Pinkie saw it first and then passed out. Fluttershy looked up, to find a Temple of some sort. She didn't pass out like Pinkie did, but she didn't like Pinkie snoozing, or whatever she's doing. "PINKIE!" "What? Oh hey there Fluttershy! Why did you yell? Because you saw the temple?" "Um, well.....let's go inside." Said Fluttershy quickly, wanting to change the subject. Soon the friends were inside. "SLAM!" "WH-What happened?!" "The door slammed shut, but now the temple's our!" said Pinkie, with eagerness to explore, Fluttershy, on the other hoof, wanted to be back outside. After finding many treasure rooms, a throne room, a room filled with Idols, and so much more, Pinkie starts to have the others ring into her mind, really. RING, RING, RING. "This is so awesome! I can't believe we can't invite the others. First let's find a way out, and then get the others to come to my....I mean, heh heh, OUR wonderific, Being-In-A-Dark-Scary-Temple-Party! This will be so exciting!" "First let's get out of here." Fluttershy suggested, not wanting Pinkie to start rigging the place, how horrifying it would be if Pinkie made the place collapse. Back in one of the treasure rooms, well, after searching every other room, The duo is about to give up. "My party will never be the same, well our party, but this coins are mine...wait, what's that noise?" Pinkie Pie had lifted a few coins, wanting them for herself, when the room rumbled, sorta like somepony's empty stomach. That's When the wall on one side had completely flipped into ground position, It was a secret tunnel. "Maybe that's our ticket to leave." Said Pinkie. "I think your right." answered Fluttershy, and with that the ponies entered the Black passage. "I see light!" Said Fluttershy, pointing at a white figure in the distance, but the light wasn't bright. But that never stopped Pinkie Pie before, she bounced over to the light, like a fly to a lamp. Fluttershy Followed. "AN OPENING!" They did it, they escaped the temple like Jonah escaping the Whale's belly, according to the bible. "Let's not go there again anytime soon Pinkie, I don't want everyone to be trapped in there like us." "Oh, okay, but only because you don't want to have us eaten by a ancient ruin again, HAHA!" "Sister, wait up!" Celestia and Luna had wandered near the heart of the island, nothing dangerous so far, well, not yet, at least. "Sister? Um, Celestia? What are you looking at?" Luna then noticed what her sister had been staring at, a abandoned castle. The Sisters then stared at the castle for a few seconds, then at each other, if they had enough courage to go into the Ancient Ruin. Finally, they didn't hold back any longer after another few minutes, they entered the ounce beautiful castle of Ancient times. The Arts were fabulous, it was like Canterlot again, but these had different symbols, of some empire that the Royal sisters couldn't identify. "SLAM!" "What? who's there? Oh no! Celestia, come quick! We're trapped!" Luna noticed the Castle doors slam shut, called for her sister to combine their magic to get out. But the doors were not moving the slightest inch. "What should we do sister?" "We'll have to find another way out of this castle." "But how? We explored every room and found nothing...." CREEEEEEEEECK! "Scratch that, I think we found something." Luna, correcting herself said, hearing a door opening in the library. The Royal Sisters decided to investigate. In the library filled with ancient books and cobwebs. They found a what looked like a passage door opened up, it lead directly outside. The Princesses hurried over to the opening and escaped the castle, with nothing but a scratch. "I don't want to be here anytime soon, wait, Sister? Do you think the books have information on how to be-rid of the chemicals back home?" "Maybe, but let's collect a few books QUICKLY, I don't want to be in that awful mess again, not now, not ever." "How much farther Twilight?" The Sisters in Law, Cadence and Twilight, were exploring the beaches of the island, the wildlife was really nice and so on, but no enemies, or ponies accept for them were anywhere to be seen. Twilight runs ahead, Cadence on her tail. But Twilight suddenly stops. "Twilight, keep going we...What in Equestria!" They stopped in front of a fortress, a old, big, and destroyed fortress. There was a giant hole in the middle of the fortress, assuming that a unicorn army fired many rounds of magic at the military stand, Twilight and Cadence, didn't want to get to close, remembering from Cadence's last visit to Ponyville, Discord made them face a monster from a hole in the ground. Even though unharmed in the event, they almost got eaten by the Ugly beast. "Let's be very careful, and explore it before something weird comes from the hole." Suggested Cadence, and Twilight agreed. They checked every bit of the ruin, finding nothing important but the, well, GIANT hole. They decided to leave. Only to find pretty much the fortress crumbling, the Sisters in law then realize they need to leave, fast, but the doors were somehow shut, and the glass windows were not openings, or were they? Twilight ran over to a window. "Quick! Help me find a key or something to unlock the window!" "Or throw a rock at it." Replied Cadence, the Alicorn then threw rocks she found on the floor at the window, on impact, the window shattered to tiny little pieces, The princesses now have a way out of the old and small fortress. "C'mon!" Twilight said, the fortress collapsing as she spoke. They jumped through the window, they escape without injury, but the fortress falls, on top of the hole. "I'm not going here at all soon!" Said Twilight, tired from escaping what could have been death. Rarity and Applejack hadn't made any fuss, or really not any words came out of their mouths, but when they round the corner. "Applejack, why did you stop? You know it's....it's.....Um, Applejack? I think we have a bad dungeon problem." They found what appeared to be a jailhouse dungeon building. {The Castle didn't have a dungeon inside.} Hoping for no problems, the unicorn and earth pony went inside. "SLAM!" "What was that? I think somepony else is hear!" Rarity shrieked, she didn't want to have the new pony shocked by their appearance. "Quick! Let's get out of here!" The Pair had been so frightened of somepony else being in the building, they didn't even try the now locked door, they barreled through the wall like a buffalo rampage. "I hope somepony doesn't notice the....um....damage we caused." Applejack chuckled in response. Rainbow Dash was flying around the area of the boats. She didn't like hanging around, she wanted to explore the new land, but the Alicorns insisted. She liked the inside of the boat she rode in, it had a place where she could attempt playing board games, or something to keep her from doing nothing. While she was doing a game of darts, she heard hooves running towards the boat, she looked to find her friends. She ran to greet them. "So, How'd it go?" "Well...." Ounce Rainbow Dash heard everything, she started giggling so hard that everypony wondered why, did she know something they didn't know? "This island's building always locks them in, by the front door at least." Rainbow Dash explained. "I found that out in one of these books on the boat." Well, despite being trapped, they knew they were alone, nopony else was there. The Alicorns can try to figure out how to get rid of the chemicals back in Equestria, and the others had started preparing to leave the island. They may be trapped or something, but their teamwork in each team pulled off. They succeeded in exploring the new land, and they will leave the next day.
5. Meanwhile In PonyvilleDuring the nine mares' quest, Ponyville continues to suffer from pollution in the air and water, the crops wilted and died, and nothing was left. The Cutie Mark Crusaders had never felt this sick before, nopony had, but the Chemical fire had now killed all of Equestria's sources. "Where's Rainbow Dash when you need her?" asked Scootaloo. The Crusaders remembered that Rainbow Dash went out at sea with her friends and princesses to find a cure for the chemicals, but they have not returned for days, what if something terrible happened? Sweete belle got to her hooves, but she was weak, along with friends and families, had became very hungry, thirsty, and gasping for clean air. Ever since the princesses left to find the cure of this problem. The Residents groaned from their daily struggles, have the princesses abandoned them? No, that can't be, the princesses would never leave just because they think their kingdom is doomed, never in a million years would they do that. But Applebloom was thinking that her older sister was enjoying a new sight, that has not been polluted along with everything else. "Let's go find somepony that can help us, you know, like a new pony in town, very rich, has his own water system." said a local pony. The Residents hope to find somepony not sick, weak, tired, hungry, thirsty, or breathing polluted air. But no luck. Nopony is sure where the princesses are, but they still hope for their return, with a cure at the very least, but their main focus is survival until the alicorns come back with a magic plant or herb, or something. In fact, the pollution was so bad that maybe a herb wasn't strong enough, or, at least, the way they thought about it. In the Everfree forest where Zecora lives, the pollution never affected it, and Zecora never knew about it, thinking about the chemical fire and it's nightmare, but thinking the fire was quickly taken care and there were no problems, she stayed at her hut, unaware of the ponies' struggles, until... KNOCK, KNOCK, KNOCK "Come in, and don't be scared, for I will not harm you, for I care." Zecora answered, thinking a newcomer had came to see her. But when she saw that it was the Cutie Mark Crusaders, she paused, wandering why their condition was very bad. "Why do you seek me, little fillys, and why are you not your regular self sillys?" "That darn fire burnt the chemical place real bad." "Yeah, and the fire caused the land to be polluted, we have no food or water, not even lean air." "We came here to ask if you could help us in our struggle to survive. Please." The fillys cried pleas like the adults did. "I can see the fire itself had been worse than Princess Twilight's image of Nightmare Moon, but even I can't undo this soon. But I can try something mysterious to me, maybe Equestria's fate along with yours would change you see." Zecora then revealed a bottle of liquid unknown to them, but it was like the one Twilight drank to see the past. But this was different, this was a green liquid. "Give this to the Princesses, so they can each have a drink, it would make them powerful enough to stop this spreading like ink." Zecora instructed the fillys to do when the Princesses see them. The fillys thanked Zecora and said that they will never forget what role Zecora played to stop the chemicals from infecting the land anymore, now it was time to wait for the Mares' return. The wait begins now.
6. Life On The IslandThe nine Mares that left to find a cure are now currently on the island that is like a summer villa. But no luck finding any imformation on the mysterious cure of the chemicals back home. Somehow, they had survived a long time on the island, finding water in the boats they came there in. The Princesses' magic was stronger now, but something was missing. The Princesses continued to read the ancient legends while the other five decided to do something, well, or get survival gear. Yep, they were out of food, but during their time exploring, Applejack spotted some coconuts, as well as Strawberries. They weren't apples, but still they looked tasty. "We'll be right back, I promise, after I find a juicy amount of berries, and Somehow Rarity gets the coconuts, we'll be back." Then, of they went into the forest, but then again, the pair would argue about a few things, and argue they did for a bit on how to get the coconuts down from the tree, and that led to a few problems. "Applejack, wait!" "I thought we were going to get the coconuts with your magic." "But my magic isn't for major things, but for minor things. Besides, I'm not a unicorn who has an adventurous attitude like Rainbow Dash, I'm just a dress maker, and even though I lost that fashion contest in Manehatten, I didn't care that I lost, I was glad you actually stayed after how I treated you." The two argued, trying to bring points up to get the upper hand, but despite the crazy conflict, Applejack was also starting to buck at a coconut tree. She knew Rarity's magic was strong enough to get at least a dozen of coconuts, it looked like she had good points one after the other. After bucking the tree five times, coconuts had started to fall like, well, coconuts. Some hit Rarity's head, leaving a bump near her horn. "Applejack, Careful!" Rarity screamed in pain, and then another one of the nuts hit Rarity again, this time Rarity lost conscious, and had hit the ground hard. Applejack groined, now she had to carry Rarity along with the strawberries and coconuts. When they finally got back, they noticed that the Alicorns were running around, as if they were searching for something,or if Pinkie Pie was hosting a of hide and seek. But Applejack wasn't sure. "What the hay is going on here?" asked Applejack, having to jump back many times, almost dropping Rarity. "Another one of those animals had terrorized the place." Informed Cadence. Confirming that Pinkie hadn't started another one of her childish games. When the animal, a little hawk, left, it had some parts of the camp destroyed. But it usually happened, and the mares learned how to reconstrust their camp. That's when later. "Everyone to the boats! We need to find a potion that me and the other princesses take a sip of to improve our magic to get rid of the chemicals! We must find it!" Twilight found a page in one of the ancient books on how to cure the chemical problem, and they needed to find it very soon, or Equestria will be covered with chemicals forever.
8. Alicorns Vs. ChemicalsThe Nine Mares swiftly made it to Ponyville. Hearts heavy, they spread word that their search had failed and that unless the Alicorn Princesses can swiftly find another way, they would not survive the terrible accident. Many ponies then started panicking, some started to cry, and others started to give the Alicorns attacking strategy against the Poison. "WAIT!!!!!!!!!!!" The shout from three little fillys startled everypony including the Princesses. It came from the Crusaders, and they were holding a bottle, the same potion given to them by Zecora was in fact the Potion the Alicorns were looking for, it was a sheer shock. "Where in Equestria did you find it?!" "We got it from Zecora's place, claims she found it near a Everfree forest river." Ponies started cheering for joy when suddenly, it stops, the Crusaders and The nine other mares saw it too, Discord came out of nowhere and was striking at the chemicals with his magic, he was hating the fact that the chemicals had made Fluttershy's Animals sick that he couldn't take it anymore. This brave act started unicorns striking the chemicals with their remaining magic, but even though the aggressive magic was fending of some chemicals, most of them still remained. "Oh, we have to help Discord, Princesses, drink the potion, it should help you protect all of us without magic." Fluttershy said to the four Alicorns. Fearing the worst for her friend. The Princesses then took a sip each, then, Nothing. But then, KAPOW! The Princesses were then turned into a green cloud, and then launched itself at the chemicals, startleling many ponies. Watching in horror were the ponies as the Green clouds struck the chemicals. Hours and hours passed and the green clouds did not stop fighting the chemicals or give the dangerous stuff to reform. Lighting struck the sky and splits it to many pieces, and thunderbolts caused many loud explosions in the sky. The Green clouds had the upper hand of the dramatic fight. All of Equestria saw the fight and heard the cracks and booms of the thunder and lighting. The local D.J, Vinyl Scratch, was also very scared, but not like Octavia, She was scared so much that she was wanting something to happen to end the war. But the fight continued, along side with Discord, the green clouds started to have the chemicals under control, but they wanted the whole thing gone, and I mean, EVERYTHING, every last polluted cloud, drop of water, and crop gone, so Equestria would survive, but soon the potion was wearing off, and before they knew it, the princesses fell to the ground. Gasps ran through the ponies as Discord ran to find them knocked out, the princesses had not recovered from the fall, but their efforts were amazingly effective, the chemicals only comsumed only a few clouds left, while Fluttershy tended to the Princesses, Discord finished off the chemicals ounce and for all, with Pepper if you can believe it. All of Equestria cheered for the princesses and Discord for their impressive efforts to save them. But the question remains, has the princesses survived the ordeal? Many run up to the Alicorns, Fluttershy had bandaged Celestia's leg, Luna's hoof, Cadence's side, and Twilight's horn. Discord then helps Fluttershy move the princesses to Fluttershy's cottage. All of Equestria awaits the fate of their saviors.
7. Search For The CureThe last the mares saw the island was when they were seventy feet away from it, when clouds blocks their view. But they were chemical clouds. The situation was getting worse so badly that time was almost out, that when the mares saw the cloud, they knew that in a matter of days, that Equestria will be destroyed. "We have to find that potion, or we'll have to find new land." "Or say goodbye to our subjects." The sisters knew that time was running out. If the chemicals consume them too, they will die along with Equestria. Sailing in the smoky clouds was very dangerous, but they had to do it, if it means dying in the process. But the potion was nowhere to be seen, according to the book, it floats on the ocean waters like a message in the jar, even the weight of the potion wouldn't sink it. Wave after wave passed and the bottle nowhere in sight, and island after island was searched. But the potion was never found. "I think I see another island!" Shouted Applejack, thunder and lighting was flashing and making Applejack's shout deaf to her friends, but Celestia heard the apple farmer to find a huge landmass in the clearing. They heaved the ships toward the landmass. But to their surprise, the beach looked familier, coughing ponies, many of them. "Oh No! We returned to Equestria, the potion might not be here!" "Let's just look, maybe it swept up shore." Luna's idea then brought Twilight to lighten her spirits, but she knew that the ponies might follow. " Let's keep ourselves hidden for now, if we don't find the potion, then we'll go to Ponyville, we'll have to spread the tragedy." So the search now was on the beaches, on by one searched for the cure. Each running into a problem. "Crocodiles?!" Yes Crocodiles, in fact, the Reptiles had attempted to escape the chemicals, each one holding something their mouth. "Make them open their mouths." Instructed Twilight, then Pinkie Pie had started doing funny dances like some when she faced off Cheese sandwich. "Nothing, and that's the last straw." After that the mares sadly traviled to Ponyville.
9. Safety Ounce AgainCelestia opened her eyes to find herself in the palace medical chamber. Along with the other princesses, they were injured in battle of the mysterious chemicals. "Did it work?" asked Cadence, the four Alicorns then rushed to the window, finding the land safe ounce again. "Let's try making a trip to Ponyville." Suggested Luna. With a easy teleportaition spell they made it to the streets of the town. "Wow, we could have done that many times earlier!" said Twilight, realizing something she didn't even think on doing. Everypony then rushed to the princesses with smiles and shouts for joy. The disaster was over and Equestria was safe from harm ounce again. Fluttershy ran with Angel Bunny behind her, and the other four behind her. "We did it! You did it! I hope this never happens again!" said Rarity, with glee in her tone. Everyone smiled and smiled and smiled for the rest of the day, and finally not having to breath unclean air made it even better. The End Author's Note I know, not very good, but it's a start, and I promise there will be better stories in the future, but I hope you enjoyed this story!
