Following a botched spell, the mane six find themselves in a world of bugs (Read Long Description)

READ THIS BEFORE CONTINUING:

While Starlight is away on a tour with Trixie, Twilight calls her other friends to the castle of friendship, where she wishes to use a shrinking spell she just learned to have the most epic game of hide and seek ever. Something goes wrong during the spell however, and teleports the mane six while still shrinking them to a mysterious new land. As Twilight begins to pass out after the teleportation and shrinking that occured, she swears she saw something green.

Meanwhile, Kabbu had just escaped the swamp's beast when he saw a purple glow appear as he entered the Ant Kingdom. This is when he discovers a strange purple creature with a horn and wings the likes of which no bug had ever seen before alongside a similar creature with just the wings. This leads Kabbu to help the two of them to the settlement nearby. And who knows, they may need the most help of all.

WHY DOES MY MIND GO TO THESE PLACES SOMETIMES?! I just randomly had a thought: What if Twilight and her friends suddenly were part of the story of Bug Fables: The Everlasting Sapling? And as such, you have this brain child of mine as a result. Now, I'm going to still have the actual bug fable characters more or less be themselves, but there will be some unique interactions between the main six and Team Snakemouth especially between Rainbow Dash and Vi.

...But seriously, WHY IS MY MIND LIKE THIS?! Also, this story has lesbian Twilight & Rainbow Dash. In otherwords, Twidash shipping. This will be the only lesbian pairing of the story. Again, my mind comes up with the strangest stuff sometimes.

I will also include certain side quests being completed either if they are a team member's request or they have story elements to them that I didn't feel like leaving out. This actually makes Leif's request special for those that have completed it. And I won't spoil why it's so special here in the long description.

WITH THAT SAID, here's a huge recommendation: IT'S VERY RECOMMENDED THAT YOU EITHER PLAY BUG FABLES FOR YOURSELF, OR GO WATCH A YOU-TUBE PLAYTHROUGH OF THE GAME TO AVOID MASSIVE SPOILERS. AND THIS GOES DOUBLE FOR LEIF'S REQUEST WHICH I HIGHLY RECOMMENDED SEEING BLIND!

I will give a second spoiler warning when I cover Leif's Request in this fanfic because I very much recommend experiencing said request blind. I will delete any comments that contain spoilers; marked or otherwise; so please keep the comment section spoiler free.

Why is there no Bug Fables series tag? I get that it's only one game, but come on fimfiction! This is the second crossover fic I've made where the video game series is NOT one of your tags. GET IT TOGETHER! Well since it's not, and I'm guessing none of the bug fables characters have tags either (someone let me know if they are here), here are some additional tags to keep in mind.

Addtional Tags:
Bug Fables
Vi
Leif
Kabbu

Maturity Wanrings:
Death & Non-consensual: While there is only one true on screen death that happens at the very end of Bug Fables: The Everlasting Sapling, there are some references to death within the game (no spoilers for where) and it is non-consensual with the ending death of the game.
Suicide/Self-Harm: This is also being marked due to the death I've mentioned that happens at the end of Bug Fables (No spoilers!)
Fetish: This is more so being marked to be better safe the sorry considering Leif has tentacles that they summon from time to time. Even if the game is rated E10+, I am playing things safe here and including this anyways because of said tenacles as I know if I don't, SOMEPONY might complain about it.

Prologue: A Whole New World, A Whole New Perspective

Rainbow Dash was quite eager one morning. She was told via a letter to come over to the castle of friendship one morning for a special surprise. She could barely wait.

Perhaps Twi has finally decided to reveal to the others that we're dating. Knew she couldn't keep that bottled up for long because why wouldn't she want to announce that she has such an awesome marefriend~ was what Rainbow Dash was thinking.

These thoughts only intensified once the other girls got there. Twilight soon came in the room after the others arrived with a spell book. "Thank you so much for coming everypony. I figured that, since Starlight was away with Trixie, this would be the perfect time for to play hide and seek around the castle." Twilight said.

"...Err, no offense Twi, but why do you have a spell book if we're just going to play hide and seek?" Rainbow Dash asked.

"Can't argue there." Applejack said.

"Oh this?" Twilight put a hoof on the book in question. "Well, it's for the game. Sure, we've played hide and seek once or twice, but never the way I'm thinking of doing it." The purple alicorn said. "For you see, within this book contains a spell that I'm going to cast for our game." She confirmed.

"What's the spell do? Make it so we can't cheat with magic or something? No offense Twilight, but your the only one who has a good enough grasp of your magic for that." Rarity said.

"Oh this isn't that kind of spell. It's a spell that'll make us tiny." Twilight said.

"...Wait, are you saying your going to shrink us and then we get to play hide and seek in the castle while we are tiny?!" Rainbow Dash exclaimed.

"That would be correct Rainbow." Twilight said.

Rainbow Dash was both disappointed and surprised. She was disappointed because this wasn't a coming out moment like the pegasus had hoped, but she was surprised that Twilight was going to shrink them prior to starting the game. Then again... "That sounds like the most epic form of hide and seek ever conceived!" Rainbow Dash said.

"I know! I wanted to do it for so long but I have a free day for it, Starlight is away, and Spike has agreed to sit out of the game while he works on cleaning the dishes." Twilight said. The purple alicorn lit her horn. "Now every pony, be quiet. This spell requires instense concentration." She said.

Rainbow Dash could barely contain her excitement for this now. But just then, she noticed something strange happening with Twilight's magic. In fact, she could tell Twilight was no longer the one in control of her own magic. "Twi, I think something is about to go horribly wrong here..." Rainbow Dash said.

"I-I can't stop it. Why can't I stop it? What's happening?!" Twilight said.

Heroes from another world. I call upon you in this manner because something is about to go horribly horribly wrong. I have been silently watching you, and studing your magic of friendship. I beleive without your beliefs, tregedy will strike my world. I call upon you, in this time of need, to rescue my world from it's shadows. A strange god like voice echoed out before suddenly, not only was the entire main six shrunken, but Spike got to witness them just in time before they teleported away mysteriously.

"Oh no! I've got to tell Princess Celestia!" Spike said and began writing a letter to the white alicorn. "Better inform Starlight too." He said, but focused on Celestia first.

When the spell finally finished, both Twilight and Rainbow Dash fell down into grass somewhere, but whereas the Pegasus was unconscious, Twilight was just barely hanging on. Before she completely passed out, she swore she saw something green approaching the both of them.

Whoever this is, I hope they are friendly... Twilight thought before she fell into the realm of unconsciousness right beside her marefriend.

Kabbu had just barely escaped the beast that roamed the swamp thanks to his teammates, and as soon as he made it to the outskirts of the Ant Kingdom, he found two strange creatures unconscious where he had seen a purple light form. He didn't recognize either of them and they didn't look like they could be monsters either. So instead, he simply picked both of them up. One had wings and a horn, the other only had wings. But he had never seen a creature with those wings or that horn before. Still, he doubted they were bad creatures, given that they were unconcious and appeared after the purple light. So, he carried them into the village outskirts.

Elsewhere, a lone female bee known a Vi was heading into the ant kingdom, dragging behind her a couple of strange creatures she had encountered. One was simply a strange orange creature, while the other was white with a horn.

"Unbeelivable." Vi said. "At least this is a good workout for when I make it to the Explorer's Guild. Heh, who knows? I might even get a few berries out of this. Might as well drop them off with the officials before heading that way. Though, it'll take me a couple of days to get there at this rate." She added. "...And now I just realized I am talking to myself. I should probably stop." The bee added before continuing on her way.

While Twilight was unconcious, she heard the voice from earlier talk to her.

Something has gone wrong in this world. That's why I called you here. The voice said. Things are not as they should be. The one who should be dead is not dead, and the one who should not be king is king. The voice added. I have called you and your friends here for a purpose: To find the legendary plant known as The Everlasting Sapling. A plant that is said to give powers immeasurable and grant eternal youth. The voice continued. But in the wrong hands, the gifts of such a plant's leaves will lead to nothing but eternal suffering and ruination. I ask that you and your friends stop the one who is king and should not be king from getting his greedy mits on this legendary tree. For if he succeeds, not only is my world doomed, but yours will follow. Of that I am sure. The voice finsihed before fading.
