     Stone Free has grown more in ability and power. Not only has it posses more lengths of string, but now has the ability to use stardust to create illusions, which dissipate when hit with something. Jolyne can still turn up to 70% of her body into string without harm, but with the new string length, the range is increased and she can utilize it more, and when woven into one body, the string becomes tough strands of muscle, with enough strength to smash a speeding meteor, and is tough enough to stop bullets.

     "Shit....... what a day" Jolyne was beat. She was lying down on the soft grass, a few feet away from the cave. She could barely move, her whole body was aching. At least the cool wind was easing the pain on her burns. Her leg and her arm still hurt like hell though. Then there was the hunger. Her stomach growls. "Well, looks like I'm gonna die." She said nonchalantly. Jolyne was kind of hoping for something to come by and help her out. Jolyne didn't really expect this to happen, but whatever. At this point, anything could happen.

     Well, it turns out, anything CAN happen.

     The orange creature from earlier was staring at Jolyne from a bush. Jolyne seemed like she can’t see the creature, but she did. Suddenly, Jolyne heard the creature talk to something else in the bush.

     “See? I told you I saw the monster from the lake!” said the orange one.

     “Woah! You’re right! What the hay is it doing out of the water!” exclaimed the other one in the bush. Jolyne took note of the Southern American accent.

     “I don’t know, but we gotta do something about it! We can’t just leave it there!” said a third one. Jolyne was kind of annoyed by the high pitched squeak in her voice.

     “Yeah but what are we gonna do about it? We can’t just walk up to it, what if it attacks us?” says the orange one.

     “I guess you’re right. Let’s let just let an adult know,” says the squeaking voice. “Hey, wait a second. The monster doesn’t look as ugly as you said, Scootaloo. I thought you said it was the ugliest thing you have ever seen. So ugly that you almost blew chunks!”

     “Ouch, and I thought my burns were already bad,” interrupted Jolyne.

     “AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!” screamed the little ones as they run away from the bush. Jolyne sighed. One thing after another, she thought. Now I’m gonna have more things after me.

     Jolyne noticed the other two as they ran back into the forest. One was white, the other yellow. She saw the orange one’s face through the bush. Jolyne thought it was cute.

     The CMC were running for their lives. The monster from the lake, a thing that has been terrorizing Ponyville for a few days now, at least a week. Nopony, not even Princess Twilight, could figure out, or even get a good look at the creature. Only its shadowy figure. So far, it hasn’t really done any harm, but its loud squishy sounds and growling, as it slinks about the outskirts of town has kept ponies up from fear. By the time you get near enough to see it clearly, it disappears, and all it leaves is a puddle of water. And now the little fillies were running from it. They dashed through the forest as fast as they could, Sweetie Belle even tripping a couple of times. All three of them accumulated some scratches, dirt, and tree sap over their coats, as they carelessly run past low hanging branches. They do their best to dodge said branches, roots that poke out of the ground, and even more obstacles nature could throw at them. Finally, they reach the outskirts of Ponyville. Once they jump out of the thicket, they all lie down on a rock to catch their breath.

     “Hey…. Guys….. You think…. it’s still following us?” asked Scootaloo.

     “No…. I don’t….. think so….” replied Applebloom.

     “That was way too close. We are…. not doing that again.” said Scootaloo.

     “But wait a second,” said Sweetie Belle. “You said it was the ugliest thing you had ever seen. I actually thought it looked kinda…. I don’t know, feminine?”

     “How would you know what feminine really is?” replied Scootaloo.

     “Hello, duh, I live with Rarity.”

     “Oh, yeah, right.”

     “Maybe it doesn’t want to hurt anypony.”

     “Are you crazy? We’ve never seen anything like it before.”

     “She’s right, Scootaloo,” said Applebloom. “Maybe it’s like Zecora all over again. We never know until we get to know it.”

     “So what, you want to go back and go talk to it or something?” Applebloom and Sweetie Belle look at each other, then back at Scootaloo with a big

      “Yes!”

     “Oh, alright, but don’t say I didn’t warn ya.”

    “We have to keep our distance though,” said Applebloom.

     “Ditto,” said Sweetie Belle.

     Jolyne was still lying down in her soft grass. She didn’t really feel like standing up anytime soon, even though she was starving. She started thinking about the three little creatures. They look friendly enough, she thought, maybe they have a town nearby where I can have some grub? She didn’t really count on that idea though. Jolyne started thinking about that monster in the lake. How would they mistake her for something like that? Maybe there are no humans at all in this place. Jolyne pondered about her environment, how there is possibly no humans, how it is possibly away from Earth. From America. From home. Her pondering, however, was interrupted when a massive creature stomped up to her spot. Jolyne saw a giant lion, scorpion, bat thing. She didn’t know what the hell it was, only that it looks like it wants to kick her ass. It stared at Jolyne, who was still lying down, then roared. Jolyne was extremely annoyed now.

     “STONE FREE!” she screamed, and her Stand appeared, complete with a new look, as it starts to fire a volley of punches at the beast. “ORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAOARORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAAAAAAAA!” with a last big uppercut, the creature went flying through the forest, knocking trees away like a bowling ball through pins. It landed on the ground, 20 meters away from her.

     “Jesus. Hehe, don’t know my own strength.” Jolyne felt pretty proud at herself. That is until she looked to see the three creatures from earlier, mouths agape, staring at her with fearful eyes. “Oh. Um….. Hey, it's not what you think-”

     “AAAAAAAAAAHHHHH!” the three ran away again.

     “Hey! Wait! Argh! Give me a break! I can't take this shit anymore!” the three fillies stop as they hear the supposed monster from the lake in frustration. They see the Jolyne hitting the ground with her good hand. And it was at this point they noticed her injuries too. The three look at each other with concerned looks. They decide to walk up to Jolyne, as she throws her fit.

     “H-hey. Are-are you a-alright?” asked Scootaloo. Jolyne stops her fit and slowly looks up at Scootaloo. Jolyne smiles a bit.

     “Oh, you don't know how long it's been since someone asked me that.” the three were silent for a bit. Unsure of what to do with the monster near them. Jolyne notices this. "Hey, whatever monster you think I am, that ain't me. Especially not one from a lake." The three fillies wear a look of confusion. Jolyne sighed. "Look, I can't really.... explain it well, but I just woke up, like, two hours ago. You see, I was fighting this guy back on my planet, he had the power to steal other people's power, and he put me in prison, then I said something about helping my dad, but he wasn't there all my life, but I managed to save him and made some new friends but some died, then the man I was fighting got a new power to turn things inside out but I beat it by turning my body neither outside nor out, then he got a power where he could accelerate time, then the universe exploded at least two times, I got knocked out then I was in space, then the universe crushed me and now I'm here." Jolyne inhaled as she lost a lot of breath trying to explain her situation. The three little ones looked extremely confused. "Look, I'm tired, I'm injured, and I'm hungry. Can you guys help me out?"

     "Well, I-I don't know. You knocked that Manticore away without doing anything. You seem- well- dangerous."

     "Well I don't know how you could get near me with that assumption," Scootaloo backed away a bit when Jolyne said that. "Look, I can be dangerous, but only if I need to be. Otherwise, I'm the coolest person you can meet." Jolyne smiles reassuringly. Scootaloo smiled a little, Jolyne kind of reminded her of Rainbow Dash.

     "Well, o-okay. We'll help you out." Sweetie Belle and Applebloom also eased up a bit around Jolyne. "S-So what happened here? You beat up that Manticore pretty bad."

     "Well, I was just kinda lying here, then it just appeared. It looked pretty mad, so I beat it before it beats me. And I'm in no shape to receive more beatings."

     "How'd you get that beat up?"

     "For some reason, I walked in this cave. I thought there was something that could help me out in there. Well, at least it was my best shot. Then there was this dragon, we fought, it knocked its cave to the ground and now its dead." The three fillies pupils shrunk and slowly looked at the big pile of rocks a few feet away from Jolyne.

     "Y-you *gulp* killed a dragon?"

     "N-no! Again, I was defending myself. The dragon killed itself by knocking its own cave down. You see, I was making it mad by dodging its attacks, and it got mad, then this happened. See, nothing to be scared about." the three once again calmed down a bit.

     "I- I guess.... Um.... So, I guess we should take you to Ponyville, so um.... Hey Sweetie Belle." Sweetie Belle slowly trots up near Jolyne. She uses her unicorn magic to pick up Jolyne.

     "Owowow!" exclaimed Jolyne.

     "S-sorry! Sorry! I'm trying my best here but you're kind of heavy!" said a panicked Sweetie Belle.

     "No, no, it's alright, I'm just glad you guys are helping me out anyways..."

     As this was going on, Applebloom walks up to Scootaloo.

     "Hey, you sure this is a good idea?" whispered Applebloom.

     "You guys are the ones that suggested it. I think she's cool enough for now. If she tries anything, we can hightail it, it looks hurt and it can't chase after us. We'll tell Twilight about it when we get back. For now, let's try taking it to the hospital."

     "It beat up that Manticore pretty bad without doing anything."

     "Point taken." The three fillies proceed to bring Jolyne to Ponyville, and have the hospital tend to her wounds. Both Sweetie Belle and Jolyne had a hard time with this trip, both straining and yelping, generally being uncomfortable. As they were nearing towards their destination, Jolyne decided to get to know the three a little more.

      "So..... you guys are ponies?" asked Jolyne.

     "Wow, I guess you’re really not from this world huh?" Said Applebloom. "Yeah, we're three little ponies from the town Ponyville up yonder there." she pointed a hoof where the town could be seen below the hills.

     "Pfft. Ponyville?" scoffed Jolyne.

     "Hey, you know we can make Sweetie Belle drop you anytime."

     "Ok ok, I'm sorry. This is all just so..... surreal to me. And after what I've been through, that's saying a lot."

     "So what's yer story? You some sort of superhero or somethin'? What with all yer powers and what not."

     "Not exactly. I'm just some girl who was at the wrong place at the right time."

     "Huh? What do you mean?"

     "Back in my world, I was sent to prison. But I'm not a criminal or anything, so don't panic! I was framed for..... hitting someone, and I was wrongfully sent to prison. It was the wrong place because I wasn't supposed to be in that prison. But it was the right time because there was this big plan that took place."

     "That sounds terrible! What was the plan?"

     "Long story, lots of stuff happened..... and I prefer not to talk about it right now." Jolyne suddenly got really sad. She suddenly remembered Foo Fighters and Weather Report, good friends who died back in Jolyne's world.

     "Oh. I'm sorry."

     "It's alright."

     "You know? Yer not so bad."

     "Thanks. I really appreciate that."

     "Well we're here!" exclaimed Scootaloo. "And..... what is going on?" the citizens of Ponyville were all running about, panicking. There was a huge crowd in front of city hall. "I'm..... I'm gonna go see what's going on. You guys go ahead and take...... what's your name?"

     "Jolyne. Jolyne Kujo."

     "Right, take Jolyne Kujo to the hospital." Sweetie Belle and Applebloom nodded and head towards the hospital. Scootaloo turns the other direction, towards the crowd. She had to crawl near the ground and avoid some stomping hooves to see what the fuss was about. And when she got to the center she saw a nasty sight. Two sickly looking ponies, on the ground, foam coming out of their mouths. Scootaloo was shocked. Suddenly she was picked up by something in a blink of an eye.

     "R-Rainbow Dash?" said Scootaloo.

     "You're not supposed to see that, kid."

     "What happened?!"

     "That thing from the lake....."
