Chapter 2; Ursa Majors, Zebras and Terrormites...Oh my..

By Tokyo Fox

"Let's stop here for the night" Twilight and the other ponies sighed in relief as they had been traveling for two weeks now and they were no closer to finding the humans and having Discord with them was getting on the ponies nerves with his antics and Fluttershy was getting tired of putting the end to the many fights and what was worse they were lost..AGAIN!!!.

"You do that; I have  to figure this out" Discord said as a upside down tent appeared  and he sat down in it as he looked at a map that was clearly sideways in his hands.

"Twilight I know you want to help the Princess and all but are you sure that Discord has been telling us the truth about any of this?" Apple Jack asked  as soon as Discord was busy.

"Trust me; I'm not saying how much I think is true but we do have to check it out and besides it was long time ago so to think we would find them so easy would be silly " Twilight

"Hey! I found something!" Rainbow Dash yelled as she had been doing a recon in the hopes of finding something.

The others came and they saw what looked like a statue of something big, ugly and mean looking bug like creatures that looked like it had the worst traits of a  termite, cockroach and a pill bug but was ten times the size of the ponies and it's huge pumpkin shaped head had a huge mouth full of deadly looking teeth that looked like it could eat a pony in two bites.

"That is one UGLY looking bug thingie but what is it?" Rainbow Dash.

"Something I wouldn't want to run into that is for sure." Rarity

" There's something written on the base; Beware of the Terrormites! They will eat you if they can!..." Twilight said

"What is a Terrormite?" Apple Jack

...Umm I think they are Terrormites!! Rainbow Dash said as she pointed to things that  looked like the statue but for their ugly brown, white and green colors as the terromites began to drool and lick their mouths with a hunger look in their eyes..

" Umm; Fluttershy, You're good with animals try talking to them!" Twilight said as she backed away from the terrormites along with the others.

But before Fluttershy could respond they made some grunting sounds..

" Oh dear that's not good.. It's sounds like bear a little and II think they are saying we look quite tasty.,,. Now they saying they want to eat us!!" Fluttershy said

"DISCORD DO SOMETHING NOW THIS IS SUPPOSED TO BE YOUR QUEST!!!" Twilight yelled when she saw Discord was now flying above them still looking at the map.

" Oh very well if I must" Discord snapped his fingers.. Nothing happened..

" Oh dear; It seems these fellows are immune to my power but how? the only things that are immune to my power is if they came from the badlands because the badlands is full of all kinds of chaotic magic...Oh right we are very near the badlands.. Here's my advice.. RUN FOR IT!!" Discord yelled as he fled quickly followed by screaming ponies as the terrormites were right behind them with snapping jaws.

Lucky for them the Terromites seem slow for their size and bug-like appearance and suddenly Twilight stopped and in front of them.

"Ursa Majors!! Three of them" Twilight screamed.

But instead of attacking the ponies the Ursas seem more interested in the terrormites and soon they were attacking each other!

"This way is the way you must come if you wish to live!" Said a male sounding voice said and when they all turned to look they saw a zebra looking at them and they quickly ran to him.

" We must go for even though the bears have their favorite food we are still not out of the woods" The zebra said as he pointed towards a sturdy looking very big house made out of stone.

" Lead the way!" Twilight said as they fled the carnage of the fight as sounds of loud crunching as the Ursa majors began to rip into the terrormites with their claws and jaws and the sight of terrormite  flesh being ripped from their living bodies as incest guts, goo, blood and strange body fluids could be seen covering the area  and they soon heard loud crunching as the terromites were being eaten...

They paled on how close they came to being lunch instead but soon they were safe in the house as he closed the door..

" Now we must wait until they have ate and had their fill and to be on their way... It's most lucky for you for the bears to be chasing me and lucky for me the bugs to be chasing you" The Zebra said

'umm thank you; Whoever you are. Twilight

" Forgive me..I am Melora. now you must stay for the night as such a fight is sure  to bring far worse things out at night but do not worry for this place was made for those in no hurry" Melcora

" Wow;Your name sounds a lot like our zebra friend Zacora." Twilight said

"Pardon me but did you say that you know a zebra like me and her name was Zacora? " Malcora

" Yes I did but I didn't say anything about her being a girl." Twilight said in a wary tone.

" Yes; I know of the zebra of who you speak for a sister of me is what she happens to be" Malcora

" You mean" Twilght started to say

" YOU ARE HER BROTHER?" All the ponies said in shock

" Oh my;. Now this is interesting.. Do tell us more. Discord said as he appeared on top of Malcora's nose in his mini him form and then vanished only to appear again in air with popcorn in one hand and before he could eat even a bite Pinkie Pie grabbed it and thanked him as she began to eat it as Discord looked a little miffed and made another bag of popcorn appear.

Malcora looked at her oddly it was as if he were trying to measure their friendship with Zacora with a look. ' Of that is no doubt as she cut her ties to live her life  away from us.. So tell me true for what reason brought you here so far? " He asked.

" We were following a trail of clues that a race of bipedal beings called humans left behind and it lead us here before we got lost and we wish to find them for Princess Celestia." Twilight said

" Find humans you say? I thought they were only of Zebra legend." Malcora

" What? Humans are here? Where? When? How long? " Twilight quickly asked

" if I thought the humans were near I would say but the ones you speak of have faded to  legend but of them I will tell of what I know even though they are considered a fairy tale." Malcora

YES! Please do go on1 We been looking so hard! You have no idea how hard it has been on a pony as refined as me! Rarity said

Malcora went to a small bookshelf with some books in it and got one.

" This book is what you'd call a book of short tales but in it lays the tale of the humans so long ago and this is what it says; During the time before Discord ruled a race a beings that walked on two legs were being led by the one who raised the moon and after pleading with  Hascora the ruler of the zebra of that time so long ago they got on his finest ships and sailed for the other side of the world and of them he never saw them again." Malcora said as the ponies looked at the book.

" The other side of Equestria? That means we need to talk to some Griffins since noponies live there. " Twilight

" To do that you must go to the city of Hascora where many other zebra dwell and there many a griffin goes to make a trip home they wish to make. " Malcora said

" We will go as soon as it's safe; We really wish to find them as soon as possible."  Twilight said

" Of that it should be now because of eating I do not hear." Malcora said and sure enough it sounded like the worst was over..

" Then we should go.. We need to get to the other side of our world." Twilight

" On that I wish you luck. You will find a place to get a boat if you go that away." Malcora said as they left his house and he pointed with his hoof.

They were soon on their way.

" Was it just me or was there something about all that that seem a little odd? I mean there was something about Malcora I did not like and it seem strange that he happen to be there." Rainbow Dash

" It doesn't matter. We've got enough problems right now. " Twilight

Two days later Twilight had found a boat they could use but they did get a bit of a surprise and Rainbow Dash was the most surprised of all..

" GLIDA?" Rainbow Dash said as soon as they were on the boat..

" Well look who decided to visit us griffins; So what is taking you to my homeland? " Glida asked...
