Into the Unknown

Their hooves were just feet apart. The tension that stood between them was unbearable. It felt like the first one that moved, even ever so slightly, would be destroyed by the other. They stared at each other until Lee made his move. He lunged at Twilight, leaving her phased by the damage. Still the purple unicorn had something to attack him with. A blue jolt of energy went through Lee.

"So she can attack with the weather? I'd best be careful!" Lee said slowly backing from the magic induced Twilight. Another attack came this time in the form of fire. Though Lee had the time to dodge he had to protect his homeland from the massive fire that would awake. He grew weary. "It looks like I must pull out my trump card, ancient potions from the time when Zecora was around." He said now chugging down a bottle.

Soon horns appeared. His eyes went blank. "We'd better back off" Said one of the guards. When they were around him with that potion it would usually end in them lying on the floor. Twilight's companions stood. An fog soon surrounded Lee. With that he disappeared.

"Everypony get ready, the liquid somehow altered him." Celestia said gathering the younger ponies (and spike) so that they would be able to withstand whatever laid in the shadows. Out of nowhere a huge creature came ramming into them. They held as long as they could as the horns bashed into them. Soon however they fell. The princesses, still managing to hold, transformed into their "Evil" forms. Nightmare moon, and Sol (For those who don't know that's our sun). They both sparkled with their respective colors. What stood before him was true harmony. The two souls soon had the elements backing them. It was how they got Equestria to respect them, through utter destruction. Rays of black and white tore apart the ground. Lee was taken by surprise and plummeted into a long sleep.

~Later that week~

The ponies decided to take Lee captive in order to find an answer to the strange happenings as of recently. They stripped him of his potions to make sure that he couldn't rebel. He woke, and almost in sync Fluttershy backed away from the beast.

"I... live?" Lee said coughing out the words as blood spilled on his blanket.

"Well of course, how else could we get answers?" Applejack said whilst leaping closer.

"What might these questions be?"

"First of all where is Rainbowdash?" Twilight said keeping in mind that their companion was supposedly taken by this man.

"At my home's jail. Of course since I don't know where we are I can't exactly lead the search"

"Second, what was that mixture you consumed? It made you hideous!" Rarity said

"It was left by my uncle, as he left the world. I though it was insanity because he was the only thing keeping us together... Frankly I was right. When Zecora--"

"ZECORA? What association do you have with him?" Twilight said

"Like I said, I'm his nephew, why did you panic so much?"

"I knew something was wrong with that zebra." Pinkie said, currently stuck in an infinite loop of hopping.

"Wait, he's in your world? Because of his blunt actions our world has gone into a dark age."

"No more answers for you! Moving on take us to Rainbowdash." Celestia screamed, her voice to be heard across the room."

Lee knew his life was in their hands. He reluctantly remained silent as he headed out the door of their secret base. "*Gasp* We're in the land of forgotten. That's probably why you were attacked, each tribe protects their land without cease! We should leave, now."

"And why should we trust you?" Pinkie said trying to comfort her friend in the corner. "No pony get's Fluttershy in that state without payback!" She said trying to make her goofy attitude into something that would be that could intimidate. Of course being the goofball she is it didn't work. The others however managed to put out genuinely scary faces, putting Pinkie back into a state of laughter.

"If you want to live you'd best follow me, the enemy's approach from the horizon" He started galloping. They looked back at them and saw it, the massive army was that of millions. They galloped away. "Our only chance is outrunning them."

"Why? Couldn't we just use the potions?" Twilight said intrigued by the force the army must have.

"They have similar mixtures. Unless you want to face a stampede of bull-like zebra's we're running"

"Fine."

After several hours of running Lee told them to take a breather. They had reached the safety of his empire. "Don't get to comfy, who knows how they'll react to you guys."

"We'll just give you as a sign of peace and be on our way" AppleJack said confident that it would work."

"We're wary of gifts of all kinds. Often times our rivals attack using the "Gift" as a diversion for an invasion. Don't expect it to work. The only thing that I can do now is try to convince them... Also unless I can sneak out Rainbowdash, which has proven to be nearly impossible, he's not coming either." He said as he entered his homeland.

"Wait a second, you're not going nowhere until you give us Rainbowdash or let us in"

"I suppose being a relative of the king has it's benefit's... If I remembered right there was a secret entrance into the jail." He said while digging. "Ah, here it is. Just beyond this is the gate to the jail," He motioned the ground, where he had just dug.

"I still don't trust this crazy zebra," AppleJack said

"Do we have the time to look for another way?" Twilight said now taking her first steps in the hole. It was a dark, damp place easily brightened by her horn. Making sure she wouldn't trip on anything she continued.

(Author's note) You're probably tired of me talking here. I'll try to stop it. Anywho please give me feedback. It takes pressure off of me.
