Timidthy woke up his eye's felt heavy and weak, his heart started thumping as he saw he was in a well. Timidthy looked up and saw his brother hanging over well. Timidthy strained his eye's and saw that he was breathing, Timidthy looked at his brother. He still had his bat-like wing's and his horn, he didn't have any cuts or bruises. He was fine, Timidthy felt his forehead and felt his horn was still there and looked at his wing's. His wing's we're fine, though they we're tied to his side's they looked fine. Timidthy felt pain in his lower admin but before he could worry some more he saw Blood Bones stir awake. Blood Bones looked around,

"Blood Bones! Down here!" Timidthy cried. Blood Bones looked down and gave a relieved smile. Blood Bones then gave an uncomfortable and pained look,

"You too huh?" Timidthy said as he blushed slightly. Blood Bones gave a sheepish smile, Blood Bones lit up his horn and lifted Timidthy out of the well. Once Timidthy hit solid ground he undid the ropes that hung Blood Bones and put Blood Bones on the ground. The two brother's looked to see they we're in a cottage of some sort the place was comforting to say the least.

"Glad to see you two got out of your predicaments." a deep voice said, Timidthy jumped and hugged Blood Bones.

"Anyway, you and your friend's will participate in a test of sorts. Your's is easy just sit and do nothing. But here's the catch you two will have to watch your friend's as they live or die. If you two try to leave and help your friend's or leave for the little colts room. You will die." the deep voice continued, Timidthy and Blood Bones blushed slightly. While their tails flickered nervously, suddenly a blue circle surrounded the brother's. Blood Bones growled slightly and got ready to step from the circle.

"You might not want to do that, this is where leaving will cause your downfall. These circles will electrocute you if you put more than a hoof out of it. So good luck. It's your choice, live or die." the deep voice finished. Timidthy started crying, while Blood Bones had a furious look on his face. Then the wall turned. As Timidthy and Blood Bones saw Sweet Dreams unconscious on a platform with a timer above it. Their was a strange metal helmet like contraption on her head. Soon Sweet Dreams soon woke up and she felt joy as she saw Timidthy and Blood Bones. But she quickly realized that they we're upset, she opened her mouth to ask what was wrong. Unfortunately she was quickly answered,

"Sweet Dreams this challenge will get you and your victim to step out of your comfort zones. The helmet on your head is connected to the timer that is set for five minutes. This helmet when the timer goes off will drive sharp knives into your head." said the voice. Sweet Dreams paled, Timidthy gasped. Blood Bones eye's filled with horror,

"The key to it is in one of your friend's bladders. You will either have to cut into them and find the key or make them wet themselves to get the key. Either way it's gonna be entertaining for me." the figure continued. By then Sweet Dreams's jaw had dropped and her face was flushed red. Timidthy's body was completely red, and Blood Bones back legs we're shaking.

"So I wish you three the best of luck. Sweet Dreams it's time to make your choice. Live or Die." The circles around Blood Bones and Timidthy disappeared. As the timer started to count down. Sweet Dreams snapped out of her daze and looked at the two colts, this was highly inappropriate. Sweet Dreams felt beads of sweat go down her forehead. Sweet Dreams grabbed a knife that was beside her and hesitantly walked in between the two colts. She looked at the timer it read four minutes, Timidthy blushed redder and gulped.

"Sw-Sweet Dreams, please put the knife down." Timidthy said with fear in his voice. Sweet Dreams looked at Timidthy,

"I'll only have to do it if you two refuse to cooperate. I won't look if you two find it necessary but I don't want to die!" Sweet Dreams said, her voice quivering. Blood Bones bit his lip,

"Fi-Fine but we never speak of this." Blood Bones said. Sweet Dreams nodded and walked away from the colts and turned around. She looked at the clock that now read three minutes, Blood Bones and Timidthy looked at the clock. As they felt an uncomfortable warm sensation come from their bladders. And spread around them. As the two ran out of liquids in their bladder. Blood Bones yelped in pain as he felt something hard squeeze through his bladder. Sweet Dreams turned around and saw the key, she then ran over as her mind raced trying to figure out how to get the key out. Sweet Dreams looked at the timer and her heart skipped a beat she only had two minutes left! Timidthy was biting his lip hard while Blood Bones looked at her with fear.

"I-I'm sorry!" Sweet Dreams cried as she grabbed at the key, Blood Bones eye's widened in shock.

"Sweet Dreams don't tell me your--" said Timidthy fearfully. Just before he was cut off when Sweet Dreams pulled and Blood Bones screamed in pain. Sweet Dreams pulled harder and harder but the key wouldn't come out. By then Blood Bones was crying, Timidthy face was blushed deep red as he covered his ears. Sweet Dreams looked at the timer again and saw that only one minute was left. Sweet Dreams was desperate as she grabbed the knife she had before. Timidthy looked away knowing thing's we're going to get worse. Blood Bones screamed,

"No! Don't do it!" Sweet Dreams ignored his objections as she sliced at his bladder. Blood Bones screamed in agony, Sweet Dreams stopped and threw the knife seat that had blood and urine in it. She then pulled at the key one more time with as much strength as she could muster. Blood Bones screamed again as the key was pulled out and Sweet Dreams hit the edge of the platform. She looked at her hooves, she smiled as she saw the key in her hooves. Sweet Dreams stared at the timer and it read twenty-five seconds. Sweet Dreams screamed, she then jammed the key onto the key hole of her helmet. Timidthy stared between Sweet Dreams and the timer with ever-growing worry. Blood Bones clutched his bladder as he prayed that Sweet Dreams would make it. The timer ticked down from five, Sweet Dreams finally undid the lock and the helmet fell from her head. The timer stopped at three seconds and the three friends sighed in relief.

"Looks like you live Sweet Dreams. Now you can either leave or join your friend's." said the deep voice. Sweet Dreams then tucked her tail underneath her. And sat in between Timidthy and Blood Bones as the circles surrounded them one more.


Meanwhile the entire kingdom was in panic. Celestia and Luna we're missing and now seven kid's we're as well! Shimmer Sword and Watch Dog sent out a full grid search as all the castle staff and everypony was on the lookout. And all everypony could do was search and hope that the missing ponies we're okay.
