[Everfree Forest.]

[Day 2. 7:00 am.]

  In the endless green that covered the landscape. It was something to truly behold. After last nights storm, animals made their way out of their shelters. Searching for food that wasn't washed away. Animals were at a small river next to a mountain. Drinking from its rich clear water. Rabbits, birds, even a couple bears were drinking and eating berries they found. Not all animals are looking for berries though, a Timber wolf saw this as a time to get some food as well for its pack. It made its way to the river, stalking its pray from the bushes . It walked aimlessly in the forest, shaded by the tree trucks over its head. It heard something, a squeak. The wood wolf looked over and saw a few rabbits to hunt. It gave a sinister grin and started to follow the rabbits. It made sure to stick to the shadows, to not let the white rabbits see or hear it. They stopped in an opening in the forest. All looking around, trying to figure out where to go next. The Timber wolf took this time to get ready to pounce on the rabbits. Hoping to kill a few and return to its pack. It crouched in the brush, preparing to strike with a massive leap. It wiggled its hips, wait for it. One of the rabbits looked back, his eyes went wide and a look of fear came over it. Now or never, the Timber wolf pounced. However, once it jumped, it couldn't move. A sharp, agonizing pain shot through its body. It felt as though it was in the jaws of a mightier beast! The wolf was then raised high in the air, pieces of its body falling to the ground. It struggle to get out but found it useless. The pain became worse as it felt as though its body was torn apart. The wolf looked as its lower torso fell to the ground. It let out a moan as it loosed feeling in its body. It was dead.

"Ralph? What are you doing?"

  Ralph turned to Lizzie as he pointed to the dead Timber wolf in his mouth. He was like dear in head lights when she caught him. Lizzie was giving him a confused look. He spat out the wooden wolf and gave a ugly smile to her. She rolled her eyes and motioned him to follow. Ralph checked his mouth for splinters, he felt a few on his tongue. He cursed to himself as he started plucking them out. Small yelps coming from him. The two soon discovered George, collecting corpses of dead animals for his friends. Lizzie gave a impressed look. George looked up, stuffing a brown bear into his mouth. He chewed and swallowed. Burping with a loud rumble.

"What are you guys waiting for? Dig in!"

  Lizzie grabbed a deer from the pile and bit half of it off. Swallowing the bottom.

"Sorry, I had to stop food addiction over here from eating a tree." she said pointing to Ralph.

  Ralph growled at Lizzie as he held a crocodile with both his claws. He bit into the stomach of the croc, chewing on the organs and bone inside with a satisfied smile. He opened one of his eyes and saw Lizzie and George staring at him.

"What?" he asks.

"You know we have a friend that's a crocodile right?" she said pointing to the carcass.

  Ralph looked between the two, giving off an embarrassed look before stuffing the rest of the reptile in his mouth. Lizzie and George rolled their eyes and brought their attention back to their food. A sudden realization comes over George as he was about to eat the rest of a bird.

"Wait...where is everyone?" he said wide eyed.

  Lizzie and Ralph looked at each, glancing back at George with saddened looks. They were the only ones that made it out? George slumped, rubbing the back of his head. Lizzie placed her hands on each side of her head and gave a sad look. Ralph slouched his ears and begun whimpering.

"I guess...we were the only ones that survived." Lizzie said.

  The others agreed. Ralph suddenly remembers something. Catching the attention of his friends.

"Hold on a minute! Remember, the explosion took apart the ENTIRE base. That means they are probably hear somewhere!" he said cheerfully.

  Lizzie and George exchanged looks in happiness. Ralph is right, maybe their friends did survive the accident. Maybe they were still alive. The three brought their heads back, swinging them forward and clashing each other in the head. The let out a laugh and looked around.

"Okay...what now?"

  George placed his hand to his chin and thought about it. He looks up and sees the mountain. A genius idea comes to the apes mind he looks at his friends and runs toward the mountain. He grips the mountain and begins to climb. Ralph and Lizzie watched in confusion as George climbs the mountain, bits and pieces of rock come falling to the ground.

'Where have I seen this before?' Ralph thought.

  George raised his hand to the top of the mountain with a grunt. Lifting himself to the top, he felt his jaw drop as he gazed apon the beautiful landscape of the new land they were in. He heard Lizzie call from the bottom of the mountain, turning his gaze from the land to his friends.

"What was that?" George called.

"What do you see?" she calls.

"Our new playground."


[Sweet Apple Acres.]

[7:30 am.]

  Applejack wasn't to keen on fixing the damages from the storm last night. Some trees were knocked down, apples had fallen off the trees and scattered everywhere, and even pieces of the barn were missing. None the less, she hauled a cart full of spare parts for the barn over to her brother Big Mac. Mac grabbed a few boards under his arm and climbed to the top of the barn. Applejack watched as her brother hammered away at the roof. Apple Bloom walks next to her while sipping on a juice box. Applejack turns and looks to see still a few trees knocked over and plenty of apples on the ground. She moans in discomfort.

"I like storms in all, but this one made livin a whole lot more work for us."

  Apple Bloom nods and Big Mac agrees from the roof. Something then pops into Apple Blooms mind, something she saw when everypony else was focused on the weather report.

"What do ya'll think about that lightin bolt that hit behind that mountain?"

  Applejack gives her a confused look.

"What lightin bolt?"

  Apple Bloom guides her sister and points to the mountain that the lighting bolt struck behind. She starts to explain how long it lasted and how huge of a bolt it was. It was oddly colored as well, multicolored. Applejack gives a puzzled look at the thought of a lighting bolt of that size and color. It was usual to say the least. However, if a lighting bolt like that struck that close she figured to see of anything was alright. Applejack ran inside the house, grabbing a saddlebag from the kitchen counter and throwing it on her back. She runs out of the house, sprinting towards on a dirt path in the trees. Sweat dripping down her cheek as she could see animals sprinting from the woods. Applejack gives a confused look as she runs further into forest. Applejack turned in a fork in the road, she felt a hoof grab her from her muzzle and pull her into the bushes. She struggled to get free, turning to see who grabbed her. She gave a shocked look to see her pink mane friend Fluttershy with a worried look in her eyes. She motions Applejack to keep it down, releasing her muzzle from her grip. Fluttershy points hoof to a clearing in the trees. Applejack looks in shock at the rotting pile of dead animals next to it, huge footprints.

"What did this?" AJ whispers.

"I...don't...know." Fluttershy comments.

  The two watch in shock as more animals run out of the forest clearing. The looks of fear on their faces told Fluttershy and AJ something was wrong. A loud, howl rang through the forest. Birds took of from their trees and flew high in the sky. The girls were silent as the ground begun to shake. The could hear trees being knocked down and the rumbling accompanied with it. What they didn't expect to hear though was a deep sound of laughter coming closer. AJ and Fluttershy flinched from a massive cracking sound ringing their ears. A tree comes flying over the clearing of the trees and lands hard on the ground in front of them. They hear a voice echo through the forest. Not knowing where or who is making it.

"Hey no far! You knocked the bat outa my hand!"

  Another voice. This time sounding a bit high pitch, female.

"Sorry, I guess I got a strong arm."

"We know, Crock told us about it." Another voice, this one deeper then the other two.

  The female gave a annoyed grunt. A sound of a heavy punch made AJ and Fluttershy cover their ears from the sound. One of them as moaning and laughing in pain as the female growled. One of the was laughing like a hyena. AJ decided to peek out and see who was killing the animals around here and see what they are. Fluttershy followed close behind as they slowly followed the laughing until a clearing in the trees reveled the perpetrators. AJ and Fluttershy's eyes went wide as they gazed apon three story giants. One a lizard, one was a blue wolf, and the other was a ape. The wolf was on the ground rocking with laughter while the Lizard had a annoyed look on its face. The ape was on the ground in a scorpion position in a huge bump on its head. The ponies watched under the cover of the tree shade in amazement and shock at the same time. They must the ones responsible for the huge corpse pile. Applejack wanted to confront the creatures but she knew that would be suicide because of their large size. Fluttershy felt a weird sensation on her nose, she gazed down to see a small spider on her nose. Her nose started to tickle, she raised her head to sneeze. AJ caught her on her last second, wiping a sweat drop from forehead. Fluttershy nods at her friends save. AJ then sneezes, both ponies freezing. The three monster stopped their antics and looked over to the sounds origin. AJ grabs her friend by the wrist and quickly starts to run. Fluttershy starts to flap her wings and AJ lets go of her hoof. Both soon are speeding down the dirt road where AJ came from, not looking back. The sound of trees crumbling behind them and the heavy footsteps following.

  George, Lizzie, and Ralph searched for where the sneeze came from. Maybe it was more food they thought. Maybe this land had humans on it? If it did have people on it, then tearing apart this world would be a lot more fun for the three mutants. Ralph sniffed the air, hoping to track the sound makers. He smelled something, odd. Something like apples. He smiled as he spotted what looked like a red building in the distance.

"Guys wait!" he called.

  Lizzie and George stopped and stared at the their blue haired friend. He motions them to come closer. George and Lizzie leaned in. Ralph points to the red building in the distance, they smile and try to run to it. Ralph grabs them and pulls them to both his sides.

"What gives!?" Lizzie says with annoyed look.

"Look. I might not be the sharpest tool in the labs, but I'm not stupid. We cant just go and attack a settlement! We don't know what other creatures are here!"

  Lizzie and George exchanged glances. Ralph was right. They didn't know what others lived here besides animals. George placed a hand under his chin and thought for a second.

"I guess we'll have to wait for them to come to us."


  AJ and Fluttershy kept running, even though the sound of the trees and the footsteps stopped. When they reached Sweet Apple Acres, the girls sprinted toward the house. Bursting through the front door in a panic. Big Mac gave the two a confused look, trying to figure out their nonsensical talking. He managed to calm the two, getting them to drink a glass of water. Both looked as though they saw something dangerous. AJ, after calming her nerves, she stared at the ground, gripping her glass in a death and with a serious look.

"We need to tell the others about this."
