chapter 1:the disturbance
It was a peaceful day in Ponyville with sky’s shining a radiant blue, of course this was natural for a summer day, “wow today seems mighty fine,” outburst Applejack as her and the posse of bronies trotted merrily down the path. “Yeah Rainbow Dash must’ve got the rest of the Pegasi to work extra hard to produce such clear skies as these” “I agree Twilight today sure is dandy, I think today would be perfect for a pizza party, maybe… we should have it outdoors in this bright weather?” replied Pizza Pie. ”I think it may be a bit too bright,” mumbled Zombi “oh don’t be such a complainer Zombi!” snapped Rarity “it’s nice too see such sunlight every once in a while, anyway this weather produces such great opportunity’s for one to show such fashionable beauty”…
… “ Maybe later Rarity, right now we have an issue” Interrupted Scarlet, “there’s huge clouds of black smoke coming from the forest.” “Well why in the hay, are we still standing here, let’s go find out what the problem is” “you’re right Applejack and who knows someone maybe in trouble so I think it’s our duty to find out what’s going on” replied Twilight Sparkle. “Let’s GO!” And all the ponies ran and gathered the rest of the bronies and headed to the cause of the smoke to see what the issue was. As they were coming over a hill they got a strong smell “do I smell burning” there was a puzzling look across Twilight’s face as she thought of this question “OoOoOo maybe someone’s baking some looooovely cupcakes!” “Pinkie, with clouds of smoke like these do you really think someone would be baking CUPCAKES!” Rainbow Dash now looked as puzzled as Twilight thanks to Pinkie. As they bearded closer they could hear someone crying “who could that be,” questioned Grapevine, “maybe it was the perpetrator!” “I doubt it Applejack” as it turns out Twilight was right because as they entered the forest they screamed in shock as they saw that the large area of the forest that they had entered into. Had been turned into a massive forest fire and they could hear the wailing voice much louder which there had found out that this voice was Fluttershy who was sitting on a broken tree stump crying, clutching Angel, her pet rabbit who was also in tears. “…Fluttershy… what… happened” this question took awhile to come out of Twilight’s mouth as she was still in awe at the destruction that was all around her in this destruction laid many dead critters some were charred, bloodied and broken “do you… know of… the bandit ponies…” spluttered Fluttershy , still in tears “you mean the bandit ponies who have been terrorising all over Equestria” All of the ponies seemed surprised that Applejack knew this knowledge “wait, Applejack how do you know of these Bandits..” “…Because they attacked Applelusa just last week, I got told that they lost half there orchard before chasing these Bandits away” “…urm hello! Shouldn’t we get out of here before we discuss this matter? I mean this smoke is messing with my mane” “you know for once Rarity, I actually agree with you and your love for your personal style” after Scarlet had said this everypony proceeded to escape from the forest and attempted to calm down Fluttershy before trying to get some more information of what happened out of her…
