The lost Cutiemark

The lost Cutiemark - Part 1
A beautiful sun rises in the morning as Twillight Sparkle wakes up. When Twillight Sparkle gets out of her bed she walks towards the mirror at the opposite side of the room, then She picks up her hair brush with her magic horn and starts brushing her mane. After brushing her mane for around 10 seconds she tip-toes down the stairs trying not to wake Spike up; as She walks to the fridge to get some breakfast She stays in front of the fridge for maybe 30 seconds trying to decide on what breakfast she should eat. She decides to take a Peanutbutter & Jelly Sandwich and a glass of Juice to the table that she furnished to her likings. When she sits done in a nice sturdy chair at the table and just when she is about to chew on the nice little sandwich, Rarity rushes into the library room yelling in horror and leaving Twilight confused about the situation.
" My Wonderful cutiemark is gone! " while Twillight keeps looking with that strange look of hers, Spike comes down the stairs with the blanket in his right hand gripping it loosely.

Spike keeps standing still in the middle of the stairs asking what has happened. Rarity is looking at him and she tells him with more quiet tone this time
" Can't you see on my flank!? My cutiemark is gone! " Spike keeps standing still rubbing his left eye. It takes a couple of minutes for him and Twillight to actually understand what has happened.

When Twillight and Spike understands what really has happened to Rarity, they jump up high in the air in shock and they both yell at the same time " Your cutiemark is gone Rarity! "
Rarity looks at their faces and says with lots of sarcasm in her tone "No shit, Sherlocks!".

Twillight and Spike keep asking Rarity all kinds of questions such as " What happened Rarity? How did this happen? When did this happen? "
Rarity answers " When I woke up and looked at myself in the mirror I saw that my cutiemark was poof, gone".

Twillight begins browsing all of her books nervously looking for some kind of clue to what might have happened. After 2 hours of searching she finds something that might help them.

The Markfur, The cutiemark thief.

Markfur Lore
The markfur lives in the deepest caves in Equestria where you have to walk in miles of mazes where I can assure you, you will get lost in. The markfur haven't ever been seen by pony eye before cause it almost never shows itself during the day. It wanders around during the night to steal cutiemarks of ponies.

Magic Range: Unknown

This power is totally harmless.

How to cure power: You have to mix up a special brew that require 3 ingredientes that can only be gathered at different places in Equestria.

Ingredientes on cure:

You will need two samples of Glimmerweed that can be found at the top off the Doomtain.

You will need one cup of water from the Witherspring lake in the middle of Witherspring Town.

You need to gather two Greensdale mushroom from Greensdale.

How to mix up this cure:

You'll need a cooking pot and a big wooden spoon.

First take one of the mushrooms, slice it in 4 slices. Throw them in the pot. Then pour 1/4 of the Witherspring water in the pot. Take both the Glimmerweed samples and throw them into the pot. Pour the rest off the Witherspring water into the pot.

Remember to save the last mushroom you are going to eat it later!.

Twillight closes the book as she say " Rarity, we are going to get your Cutiemark back! Though i think we'll need some help."

Rarity's face brighten's up with hope and reassurance " Ohh thank you so much Twillight! Let's gather a meeting for everypony in town. "

In around 2 Hours later everypony is standing in front of the Town Hall wondering why the bell rang so early in the morning.
As Twillight struggles with a bunch of books that they are going to have with them during their journey, Rarity begins to speak loudly in front of the crowd " Everypony of Ponyville! This morning I woke up finding out my Cutiemark was gone! "

A whisper starts to go around in the crowd * Cutiemark... Gone... What?...*

"Me and my dearest friend Twillight Sparkle have found out how to cure this "' Dark Magic. '" Rarity speaks out loud in front of the croud.

Twillight steps in front of the crowd saying. "Dearest citizens of Ponyville we wonder what ponies that want to come with us on this dangerous journey!?"

Rainbow Dash, Applejack, Pinkie Pie, Applebloom, Scootaloo and Sweetiebelle takes a step forward in the crowd.

Rarity and Twillight start whispering to each other * Where's Fluttershy? Aren't the kids way to young? *.

" Applebloom, Scootaloo and Sweetiebelle we're sorry but this journey is way to dangerous for three little fillys like you to come with us. " Rarity told Applebloom, Scootaloo and Sweetiebelle.

"But Rarity please!" The three little fillys say begging together.

" A no is a no. Has anyone seen Fluttershy though? " Rarity say.

" Here i am " Fluttershy whispers really quite while taking a small jump into the air.

" Aren't you gonna come with us Fluttershy? " Rarity and Twillight ask her.

" Okay then " Fluttershy whispers even more quiet in fear this time.

" Yaay " The mane six yell loudly at the same time in joy that Fluttershy is coming.

Everypony walks home to eat breakfast. It's still really early in the morning and they all got woken up really early by the bell ringing.

The mane 6 starts to prepare for their long journey. They all agreed to meet at the townhall again at 3 PM.

Rarity is getting all kinds of clothes for all kinds of weather as she doesn't know what weather there will be in these different places.

Twillight brings, can you guess what? Books of all kinds, Tale, Fact and even History books.

Fluttershy bring all kinds of defense mechanisms as long as she feels safe from the dangers that may lie ahead.

Rainbow Dash brings her Armor from when she defended the Crystal Ponies with all her might.

Pinkie Pie brings all kinds of disguises and of course her party cannon.

Apple Jack brings lots and lots of food.

3 PM Exactly everypony in the Mane Six comes to the front of the town hall from where they last meet. " Should we start our Journey for Rarity's cutiemark? " Twillight asks in trust.

" Yes we shall! " Rarity yells with anticipation.

The Journey

The Journey - Part 2

Twillight Sparkle, Rarity, Fluttershy, Applejack, Pinkie Pie and Rainbow dash walk to the Ponyville train station to look where they can go to get close to Doomtain without having to walk a distance.

"We have to go to the end station" Twillight tell's them. "That will take quite a time. We will have to sleep at the train during the night. The train will be coming in around 30 Minutes" Twillight say.

30 Minutes later the six heroic ponies march on the train. As fast as everypony that has departed from the train, it goes off to the Doomtain. During the first 4 hours they sit at a table going through food plans and what they are going to do during the nights. As they know they will need somepony to keep guard during the luscious black night.

Fluttershy is counted off the guarding instantly. After planning their journey for 4 hours, everypony is starting to feel drowsy.
Everypony goes to sleep, when they wake up the next morning they get a rude awakening to Twillight yelling.

" MY CUTIEMARK IS ALSO GONE NOW! " Everypony wakes up way to fast to really realise what actually happened.

" We really need to cure this now! " Twillight say loudly with a stressed tone in her voice. " I think we should get some extra supplies while we are on this journey. We should multiply the ingredients by 10 To make sure we can use it if any more ponies in Ponyville ever gets their Cutiemark's stolen.

" I think the markfurs can sense us trying to cure this now, that's why it is stealing more cutiemarks "

2 Hours later after they have eaten some breakfast and packed everything up the whistle goes off meaning they are there.

When they get off the train there and end up in front of an enormous mountain that looks quite mind-boggling.

"And we have to get up to the top of that mountain and then down on the other side?" Rarity asks in lazyness. " Yes we have too " Twillight say with reassurance.

When they start to march off towards the mountain and they hear something strange coming from the bushes. Applejack walks towards it to look what it is. When she reach it she can see a Purple/White Tail sticking out of it and she instantly realises it's the three little girs.
" Applebloom, Sweetiebelle and Scootaloo! What are ya' all three doin here! This is some dangerous stuff! " Applejack yells at them.

"We are sorry Applejack but it seemed so exciting!" All three say at the same time.

" All right then i guess there's only one choice " Applejack said with a doubting tone.

The 9 ponies started to march towards the mountain. It was much longer then they anticipated and they got there 30 minutes later worn out by how long it took.

The Doomtain

The Doomtain - Part 3

As the 9 ponies stand at the feet off the mountain resting before they continue, they start to feel some kind of shaking underneath their hooves.

" What is this shakin' about? " Applejack wonders in modesty.

" I don't have an idea. " Twillight say's.

The shaking doesn't stop, they are starting to feel worried about this now. Rainbow Dash flies up in the skies to see if she can see anything from there.

She comes down 5 Minutes later at an enormously high speed yelling " AVALANCHE!! ",

The other 8 Ponies start to panic when Twillight stops to say. " No need to panic! Everypony run under that cliff roof over there! " The 8 ponies start to run off towards a Cliff Roof where they can protect themselves under.

When all of the ponies are protected under the cliff roof, they think. " This is just the start of this journey? I wonder how the rest of it will be? "

When the shaking stop they feel safe to get out in the sun.

"Well, let's start this journey already!" Applejack say's.

The 9 ponies start to climb up the Doomtain in hope for no more danger. But the danger comes faster then expected. After around 30 Minutes of climbing they hear a scream coming from above. Everypony looks up into the sky and everypony can't move out of fear when they look up.

It's a Giant Spider hunting an Earth Pony. Everypony stands completely still. Except Rainbow Dash who starts flying as fast as she can towards the giant spider. With her full speed and her strong legs she manage in some way to kick the spider in the correct way which makes it fall down the Doomtain at an insane speed.

When everypony actually understood what happened that the danger is gone they start walking towards this earth pony. When they get to this pony they ask her what her name is. She answer's "My name is Blue Clock. Thank you for saving me! I can't thank you enough"

"It's totally normal for me to save lives all day long." Rainbow Dash brags.

"Don't listen to her, she brags all the time" Twillight Say.

"Yeah right she is" Blue Clock ironically puts in " But i have to get home now! We might see each other again sometime! " Blue Clock say.

The 9 ponies continue their Journey up the mountain. Surprisingly enough, there isn't any more dangers on the way up to the top off the mountain. When they get to the top of the Doomtain there is a big field off Glimmerweed there.

They start to pick as much Glimmerweed as they can.

After 10 minutes of picking Glimmerweed they are all starting to feel tired and that they have to go to sleep.

Everypony is now asleep except Rainbow Dash that is guarding. Rainbow Dash is going to guard for 2 Hours more then she is going to wake up Applejack for her to do her shift of the guarding. They put up 3 hours per pony a shift and guard each night.

When Rainbow dash has been guarding for 2 hours, she starts to hear some kind of noise. Like something is struggling to break free from something.

She can see a bush maybe 40 Feet away is moving repeatedly. When she walks towards it to look at what's inside struggling; everything blacks out as she faints. When everypony wakes up, Applejack finds it strange that she hasn't been waken up by Rainbow Dash.

When everypony has woken up completely, they find Rainbow Dash laying on the ground fainted.

When they find a small pool of water at the top off Doomtain they use little off this water to pour over Rainbow dash's head.

When she wakes up she say " Who are you ponies? What am i doing here all dirty laying on the ground? "

" Rainbow Dash, are you alright? " Applejack say's with a little bit off worriness in her voice.

" My name is Rainbow Dash? Cool name! Well, it is pretty logic thinking of my mane! But why Dash? "

" Cause you are extremely fast! I might say you are the fastest Pony in Equestria actually! " Twillight said.

While the Ponies talk to each other Fluttershy sneaks up behind Rainbow Dash and poke her at her wings.

" May i hit you in your head with this branch? " Fluttershy whispers as quite as normal.

" Why would you do that? " Rainbow Dash ask in confussion.

" It works in the movies to get ponies memories back! " Fluttershy say's a little louder this time.

" Fluttershy i can just use my memory spell on her! " Twillight say with a little bit off bragging in her voice.

Twillight's horn lights up as she lean it toward Rainbow Dash's head. Around one minute later Rainbow Dash starts to ask

" What happened? I fell asleep during my guard pass! I am so sorry! "

" No worries, RD! " Applejack say.

" So, should we start packing and get going? " Twillight asks.

The ponies start packing their stuff to get ready for heading off towards Witherspring. They finish packing around 10 minutes later.

The 9 ponies start to walk down the mountain when suddenly a wagon comes falling down the sky! But with Twillight's fast reactions she is fast enough to put a protection bubble up.

" What was that about!? " Twillight panicked.

" I don't have an idea. At least my mane didn't get dirty. " Rarity say with a more calm voice.

The 9 ponies continue their walk down the mountain, still shocked about what just happened. The 9 ponies are aware of that anything could happen! From what they have seen so far they are already very experienced of all dangers that lure in every corner.

The 9 ponies walk down the mountain much faster then they did before. Still they are not trying to rush it if by any case somepony would trip on something they would still be able to slow it down and help the pony.

2 Hours later when they get down the mountain they see this never-ending field.

Scootaloo complains " Are we going to walk through this never-ending field? "

Twillight say's "Yes, i'm afraid so Scootaloo."

The ponies walk and walk and walk for hours. Being exhausted they are not sure for how long they have walked anymore the soft ground is starting to feel like stone underneath their hooves and they know they will have to spend the endless night here.

Witherspring

Everypony wake up in the middle of the night, feeling this mystic presence. They lay still for 10 minutes not noticing anypony else is awake except themselves.

Suddenly they hear a sound of something big hitting the ground, and they can feel small vibrations in the ground.

Everypony is like bouncing up, they start to pack their things as fast as they can when Fluttershy suddenly dissapears into the shadows.

Everypony start to panic when they see the sight of her just randomly dissapearing.

When everypony have been running around in circles for around 5 minutes, they all stop to see Fluttershy fading in behind Twilight and asking.

" Why are we all panicing? "

" Cause you just dissapeared Fluttershy!? " Twilight say frustrated.

" No i did not? I paniced with all off you? I thought it was something really horrifying. " Fluttershy say with a more horrified voice this time.

" Strange, you might have turned invisible? " Twilight asks.

" I don't really know to be honest i didn't feel anything special. "

" But, what was that sound of something hitting the ground? " Twillight ask with a little bit of worryiness in her voice.

" I don't have an idea twily " Applejack say.

The ponies form a ring when they are talking, the presence they felt earlier is now gone and they feel it would be good if they got some sleep. But after they have been discussing for a while they decide to continue towards Witherspring cause they do all feel way to scared to sleep. They would have been laying awake the rest of the night anyways waiting for another sound.

When the ponies have packed their things and continues the journey the sun is starting to rise. The ponies had no idea what the time actually was as the only clock they have is the one in Ponyville they.

The ponies keep walking over the flatland, after they have walked for about 4 hours they see something shiny in the horizon. They can also see something moving right behind it. Everypony start to cheer out of complete hapiness that they can actually see another pony. He might know what way we have to go to find Witherspring.

Everypony start to gallop towards this mysterious pony, when they come closer that this pony doesn't look like a normal pony. They can see blood dripping out of it's ears and flesh hanging out it's leg. They all stands completely still seeing this horrifying sight.

"Everyone stand completely still, if we stand still it might not see us." Twillight say.

" It look like a Zomy in those scary movies " Applebloom says.

" Do you watch scary movies Applebloom? " Applejack say with a little bit of anger in her voice.

" We all do sometimes AJ! " Sweetiebelle, Applejack and Scootaloo says.

"You should not watch those! They make you frightened of lots of stuff. For example it makes you afraid of the dark" Applejack says with more anger in her voice.

" Can you ponies shut it, there is a pony over there who have blood dripping out of it's ears. It's not normal that you fight when things like this occur. " Twilight tell them.

The zomy start to get closer to them when it suddenly starts galloping towards them. It doesn't gallop fast at all but still the 9 ponies split in 3 groups and runs towards the shiny thing. When they start to get close to the shiny thing they see it's a fountain. When everypony looks around themselves they find themselves surronded by more then just one zomy. Twilight uses her magic to teleport them out of the surroundings.

The ponies once again split out in three groups to lead the Zomys of. Pinkie pie quickly finds her party cannon to fire at the Zomys. To everyponies surprise the cannon shoots the head of the Zomys.

" Oh my gosh Pinkie, don't you ever shoot us with that cannon. Why haven't you told us it obsess so much power. " Twillight said with a surprised voice. "

"I promise you twily, I won't." Pinkie said

This fight kept going for a while, after a couple of "Twilight cannon" shots RD gets up with the idea that the zomy's might not be able to survive rainbows. So what RD does is she flies up high in the air and she crash-dives down towards the ground. She breaks the sound barrier and she performs the sonic rainboom.

As lucky as she was she was right and all the zomys fall apart in pieces. The ponies regroup and gallops towards the fountain to gather some holy water from it. They fill everything they can with the holy water.

Though all the Zomys aree ripped apart in pieces they still decide to run away from the creepy village.

"W-w-well, that w-w-was, i-i-intense" Applejack Stuttered.

Nopony answers her, everypony are still in a chock after this horrible experience.

The nine ponies keep walking north towards greensdale.
