"Let's go." said Holly, walking into the forest, followed by the other 3.

"Be careful Holly." Artemis told her, "We don't know what's in this forest." She nodded, and took her neutrino out, proceeding carefully. Having the luck they did it only took a few minutes to run into trouble.

"A manticore? But I thought those were extinct." said Mulch, staring at the mismatched creature.

"They are. How in the world is there one here?" Holly asked.

"I have a theory, but that can wait. First we should probably deal with the manticore." said Artemis. Just then the manticore leapt at them. Instantly Holly pointed her gun at it, flicking the setting up enough to hopefully knock it out. Then she shot a burst into the manticore, who fell to the ground unconscious.

"Let's just hope there are no trolls in this forest." said Holly.

"I really hope not. The last time we encountered a troll was when we were running from them in the 11 wonders of the world." Artemis said.

"Yeah. That was horrible." Holly said, shuddering from the memory of being doused in troll pheromones.

"Hey enough reminiscing, and more walking." Mulch said.

"Your right Mulch, the faster we get there the faster we can figure out what to do." Holly said, walking again. It was about 10 minutes, when they ran into a river. "Here I'll fly us over." Holly said, activating her wings. They hooked themselves to her belt, and she flew them across. After they landed, they unhooked themselves again. In five more minutes of walking they came to a not too sturdy looking rope bridge, and across that were old ruins.

"That doesn't look to safe." Mulch said.

"At least it's better than giant squids. Right Artemis?" Holly ribbed the genius. Artemis winced at the memory of his encounter with the giant squid.

"Yes, it is." agreed Artemis.

"Well if you're so sure of that, then why don't you go first?" said Mulch. Artemis gulped, and walked onto the bridge.

"See perfectly safe." Artemis said, his voice a little shaky, when he reached the other side. Then Holly, and N1 crossed too.

"Come on Mulch! Unless you don't think that bridge can hold your fat rear end." Holly called out. Mulch walked nervously on the bridge, but halfway across he grasped his stomach.

"Oh no." he said.

"What?" asked Holly.

"Gas bubble. Big one. Move." Mulch said, trying to keep it in. They all instantly moved, because they knew what the dwarf's gas could do. Then Mulch released the gas, which blew the bridge apart, and sent him spiraling like a rocket towards where the others had just been. He landed a good ten feet away from them.

"Whew. Glad I moved." said Holly.

"Well here we are. This is where the 'Elements of Harmony' once laid." Artemis announced, "Maybe we can find some clues here."

They reached the entrance to the Everfree Forest fairly quickly. "Alright my little ponies. This forest is very dangerous at night. Be careful." The others nodded, and Luna started leading the way through the forest. A few minutes in they found something that proved these creatures were dangerous. An unconscious manticore.

"Is-Is that a manticore?" Twilight said, surprised.

"Yes. It seems that these creatures are more dangerous than we originally thought." Luna said.

'You-You really think that those creatures did this?" asked Twilight.

"Yes. Do you see those scorch marks? There were some on the guards after they were knocked out by those creatures." Luna told her.

"But how'd they get here so quick?" asked Rainbow Dash.

"I do not know, but let's continue." Luna told them.
