"Why did this even happen?" an earth pony mare said. Ever since Naturus showed himself and took over the Crystal Empire, ponykind has gone through a downward spiral as several sentient races were destroyed. Heck, he literally forced them to live underground. "I know, ever since the Everfree invaded again, it has taken a HUGE toll on us." a pegasus stallion said with his hoof patting her shoulder.

It has been months since they escaped underground, but they left just a day ago.

"I just hope that Discord and the Mane 6 are alive, we need the Jupiter Orb."

Just then, cracks began to form on the cave walls. Every pony, deer, zebra, diamond dog, donkey, buffalo and cow turned their heads to see the wall burst forth into a cloud of dust and smoke. When the smoke cleared, it revealed a tall, green plant-animal hybrid thing that looked like that special thing that males have on them. "HRSSS!" It hissed at them and walked forth to a deer and blew up, killing him.

Out of the hole, the saw more green things, some giant spiders bigger then ponies and bipedal skeletons taller than Celestia looking at them.

When Cherilee saw the spiders, she self-destructed, leaving a scream instead of that explosion sound. "RUN AWAY!" the sentient beings fled the area, being chased by the horde.

"GLUNK!"

"HEESH!"

"HRSSS!"

Celestia and Luna noticed this and this time, they ordered the remaining sentient beings to go before they go out. They agreed to do this and as soon as they exited the cave. When the last one went out of the cave, Celestia and Luna went out as well, but after caving in the entrance with rocks. "Are they... are they... are they..." Everyone looked to see Cherilee shuddering near the entrance.

"We should get going, we need to build a village." Flurry Heart said as they left.

A short while after they went to find a place to build a village, the blocked entrance blew up, letting the creepers and spiders out. The skeletons will take a while to go out, for they will burn in the sunlight.

Unbeknownst to both parties, a group of Velociraptors were looking at them, by now, they've stopped advancing and settled in the Neolithic.

"They will make an excellent food source!" Carrie, a 20-year-old female said.

"Nah! Those bright colors state that they are poisonous, they'll work better as beasts of burden!" Matt, a 21-year-old male said, pulling out a spear with his wing. "Yeah, but what about those green hissing things?" Carrie said.

"From what we've seen they have the ability to self-destruct. Maybe their powder can light our arrows on fire." Emma, a 22-year-old female squawked excitingly. "Yeah, but I don't like spider meat, but I know there are others who may." Carrie said.

The Velociraptors then left to their village, which has just settled down in the river. Ever since they woke up, their brains were growing. When they got to the point they started to speak, the decided to name themselves for the sake of simplicity. They've recently made permanent huts from the thatch and wood they plundered from the nearby ruins and tents from the leather and bones of buffalo, cows and deer.

Author's Note

Man, the ponies and other pre-Naturus sentient beings will have to be quick about making their settlement, for not only the Minecraft mobs were escaping, but there were hyper-intelligent Velociraptors roaming nearby, along with a few still-developing sentient races around the known world and beyond. Will they do it? Find out next time on The Rise of Lord Naturus, aka, The Tree of Harmony.

Okay, I've been watching too much DBZ by now.

But anyways, the remaining Pre-Naturus sentient races are ponies, deer, buffalo, cows, donkeys and breezies, for the diamond dogs were caught and enslaved by skeletons to build them an underground fortress within the caves.

Also, new species of plant and animal will be appearing soon.

Post-Naturus sentient beings are beings created or given sentience by Naturus.

The new races are Velociraptors, Croc People, Neo-Humans, Elves, Dwarves, Hobbits, Bear People, and Neo-Testificates.
