Episode 10: Swamp Dangers
Previous ChapterNext ChapterThe next morning, everybody was up and eating breakfast. Everybody except Jewel, mainly because she didn't show up yet.
“Where’s Jewel,” Starla asked
“No idea,’ Dyno replied
“We didn't she her this morning,” Myte added.
Suddenly Goldwin burst into the dining room in distress.
"Guys! It's horrible. Come quick!"
“Goldwin, what's wrong?,” Grand Ruler asked.
"It's Jewel!" Goldwin lead the gang to Jewel's room and entered. Everybody gasped!
“‘Ay Caramba!” Dyno and Myte exclaimed.
Jewel's room was ruined. Holes in the walls, the window was busted and her bed covers were all twisted. And worst of all her crown was on the floor!
“What happened?,” Starla asked.
“Looks like the signs of a struggle,” Buddy replied.
“Struggle?,” Queen Celestia repeated, “But who could have done this?,”
“I think I just found out who,” Lightning said.
Lightning came over with a note it read:
We have you little alicorn and if you want to see her alive again come to The Violet Swamp alone!
Bulldozer and Eagle Eye
Everybody was shocked and outraged!
“We gotta rescue her!,” Spike said.
“Si, Jewel's never been in the Violet Swamp before. She doesn't know what lurks in there, she's in big trouble,” Dyno added.
“Well what are we standing around here for?,” Myte questioned, ”Let's go amigos!”
Everybody, including the royal alicorns headed to the Violet Swamp to save Jewel.
Meanwhile at the Violet Swamp, Jewel was in real pickle! Eagle Eye and Bulldozer tied a rope around her arms and legs. Also, they put two braces on her; one on her horn and one on her wings. She couldn't fly or use her magic. To make matters worse, the pair had Jewel dangling off the edge of the volcano, above a really sticky mud pit!
“This is what happens to people who interfere with King Sombra and his Queen one too many times.” Bulldozer elaborated. Jewel gulped fearfully.
“Guys, I could really use your help right now.” Jewel thought nervously.
Just then, a golden projectile came and hit Eagle Eye sending her flying back. Bulldozer and Jewel turned, Jewel’s face turned from nervous to relief when she saw her friends; transformed and ready for battle.
“Well, look who came to get there little friend back,” Bulldozer taunted.
“Let Jewel go!” Grand Ruler demanded, “or else we’ll take her back by force!”
“But if you do that, then I’ll have to send her down, into a muddy grave!” Eagle Eye retorted.
Then she fake, almost dropped the rope, causing Jewel to scream in fear. Everybody stood where they were for a long tense minute, waiting for the moment to attack.
Suddenly, Bulldozer let go of the rope.
"Oops." He said sarcastically.
To everyone’s horror, Jewel tumbled down the volcano’s side, landing her in the sticky mud pit. Jewel struggled to get loose, but it only caused her to become more stuck. Then, she started to sink into the mud pit and the more she struggled, the more she sank!
“HELP!,” Jewel screamed.
Dyno and Myte raced towards Jewel,
“Hold on chica!,” Dyno yelled,
“We’re coming!,” Myte added.
Suddenly, Eagle Eye teleported in front of the twins,
“You’ll have to defeat me first to get to the girl!,” she challenged.
Dyno and Myte both took their battle stances, ready to battle Eagle Eye to save Jewel. Eagle Eye charged at the twins, they both dodged and kicked Eagle Eye hard, knocking her onto to floor. She got up quickly and shot a beam of magic at them.
"BOOM BOOM FIREBALLS!"
The twins combined their power and shot fireballs at Eagle Eye, burning her badly and knocking her unconscious.
“ARRIBA” they cheered.
“Um, guys, a little help here,” Jewel called. Jewel was up to her chest in the sticky mud.
“Coming!” the twins yelled simultaneously.
The twins raced towards Jewel when the ground started rumbling,
“What’s that?” Jewel asked.
Suddenly, a hydra came from beneath Jewel and stood at seventeen feet tall. The hydra’s six heads turned to Jewel and licked their lips in hunger. Jewel gulped nervously. The hydra was looking at Jewel with hunger filled eyes. One head opened it’s jaw to eat her but Dyno kicked it.
“You’re not gonna eat our friend,” Dyno yelled.
The others were still brawling with Bulldozer until Grand Ruler fired...
"TENFOLD UNIFORCE"
The attack caused great damage to him and reluctantly he grabbed an unconscious Eagle Eye and flew off.
Meanwhile, there were too many heads for the twins to handle. The other five heads began to attack Jewel, while the one head dealt with Dyno and Myte. Jewel tried her best to dodge, but the heads were to clever. Jewel was tossed into the air and the middle hydra head closed its jaws around her.
“JEWEL!” the gang yelled.
The middle hydra swallowed and a lump was seen going to the stomach. The gang could even heard Jewel's scream.
"WWOOAAAAAHHHH!"
Nobody did anything for a minute, they were shocked. Until, they saw the lump moving up the from stomach to the middle hydra head's neck and into the mouth.
"What the-?," Lighting asked
The middle hydra’s mouth was slowly pried open, it was Jewel! She was using her shoulders and legs to keep the hydra’s jaws open, while she was struggling not to be eaten...again.
“Grrrr. G-g-guys h-h-help!,” Jewel called, desperately, struggling to keep the mouth open. The entire gang flew up to the hydra’s mouth.
“Hang in there Jewel,” Lightning said, “We'll get you out of there,”
“Grr..hurry guys. I don't think....I can hold this.... for much longer, ooooh.” Jewel groaned. Jewel was starting to lose strength and the hydra's mouth began to close again.
Grand Ruler and his wife blasted the hydra's nose, causing an irritation which caused it to sneeze.
“YAAAAHHH!!,” Jewel screamed as she flew out of the hydra's mouth.
Dyno and Myte caught her!
“We got you chica,” Dyno stated. Jewel saw that she was covered in light green hydra slobber.
"Ugh, I'm gonna take a week's worth of long baths when we get back!," Jewel stated. Dyno and Myte chuckled.
“Let's go,” Myte added.
The gang quickly flew back to New Canterlot with Jewel. That afternoon, Jewel was fast asleep after eating a hearty breakfast and taking an hour-long bath. Meanwhile, the royal ones, Lightning and his team were discussing what happened.
“It is true that Jewel is in immediate danger,” Grand Ruler stated, “Sombra and Chrysalis are after Jewel. We believe that they may try to use her magic for evil.,” Queen Celestia added.
“So what do we do?,” Lightning asked.
“We'll have to keep a very close eye on her.” Grand Ruler explained.
Starla was very worried for their best friend's safety.
"Don't worry Starla. We'll keep Jewel safe." Lighting reassured. Starla felt a little better. "For now we all have to continue Jewel's training, so she'll be perpared upcoming battles." Grand Ruler added.
Everybody agreed.
