Chapters Derring-do in the tomb of Mantorok
investigation and mechanical allies
Princess Celestia called derring-do, and well-known creation of Dr. Cossack, Pharaoh stallion to the castle, to receive the mission of unknown importance to investigate a gigantic. Located in Thalia.
Tai(a shortening of the princesses name)” derring-do, Pharaoh stallion you are the world's foremost known archaeologists, I require of your services and mysterious temple has appeared in Thalia and I wish for you to to investigate it, you're welcome to anything in the armory considering that this is a mysterious mystical tomb and who knows what evil I'll eventually have to deal with, until I Pond onto a practice of mine, sadly I have not found one yet.”
Back in the actual reality of the book being read by one rainbowDash.
“This is so totally awesome, and also this is written before you were registered as Celestia apprentice .right twilight?”
Twilight slightly giggled”yes I remember reading this book is a filly, but I will not spoil it for you. Enjoy and don't sleep afterwords.” As she snickered walking up the stairs. On all fours of course, using her magic to levitate several books.
Pharaoh stallion was much built like a Pharaoh(to Pharaoh man for reference) with a instead of CM it was a strange symbol of Dr.C became clear he was a robot, mystically charged and running on magic. As the two had off to the armory, they are a pony(as rainbowDash had to imagine the description of this particular pony close to her good friend, rarity, on a slightly silver scale for the hair, and Luster dust colored tone.)
Derring-do replied”so Golden Shield this is where you been hiding, after graduating.”
Golden Shield smiled and said”something from the lab that the boys have been ripping up there working on a better candidate, this is a small-scale, you can recharge it by having it struck by lightning on its own accord as well. Just be careful.” Derring-do also picked up a good Bull Whip. P.S. didn't pick up anything since he was building with natural weapons.
They borrowed one of the kingdoms hot-air balloons while to the direction naturally being pulled in the direction by derring-do herself.
The two arrived in Thalia jungle in front of a large permit, surrounded by plants that look like giant for Venus fly traps!
Rainbowdash now reading out loud again.
Now back in the story.
Derring” now I can see why you were called upon by the Princess, I may need a good unicorn. Even with how awesome I am there are some limitations.” Flying over several trap panels, using her skills the fly which was naturally going to be effective. Pharaoh naturally start using this spell floating, to avoid the ground panel traps as well. They came into a large room, strange symbols were aligned on the walls. A strange tablet was sitting in the center, full with a translation codes. Pharaoh grabbing a tablet and began to glow!
Instantly he was transported to a strange room dilutes screaming voices statues of ponies knees and horrifying terror, a wall filled with screaming faces howling in terror, underneath each statue was a pony's name, one statue was broken Thirdly and destroyed, the first one underneath it was the name'Sombra'.
Rainbow instantly shouted”Sombra, how is he involved in this situation. Whatever it is they can't be good. Good thing Pharaoh told this to Derring later!” Of course by now she had safely return to home.
Pharaoh walked down the hallway to a terrifying sight a book leather bound with several cutie marks, along the side made skin each cutie marks representing magic and sorcery, using his power he grabbed the book, and appeared next to derring-do.
After using the book as a reference guide to examine the rooms on the walls they understood what they need to collect, in order to go deeper into the tomb, they had to collect 4 different tablets that have unique coloring matching the tiles that are on the walls.
As the two went back into the central hall, began looking for warp templates inside the Temple, strange creatures start show, bodies of rotting flesh of ponies moving on their own accord!
Written ancient ruins that Pharaoh had to translate, was to receive tablet of Xel'lotath, your mind may wander into the realms of darkness, ignore what you see to claim the prize!
Rainbowdash turn the page to find a scramble like page instead of the usual wording pages.

after a while rainbow noticed a solution fairly quickly because she did borrowed the book from her friend twilight to solve the puzzle earlier, and moved on to the next page.
Derring-do in the tomb of Mantorok
Chapter two the next piece
As a small door opened in front of them, revealing a tablet and a small pillar exegete of a Pegasus, the door was revealed room arranging the letters properly. Derring naturally picked up both be tablet and the exegete just be on the safe side, not sure why the Pegasus was green, or why the statue was also made of a clear crystal of some type that was conducted green. It didn't feel fragile at all.
Soon they came to a small core door, a hallway filled with deadly traps, this time the hallway was too small for even that Pegasus to use her beautiful wings, to fly and navigate through the trap hallways panels, thankfully Derring was more skilled and dodging floor triggers then most people would normally suspect for someone with the ability to fly. Meanwhile the stallion known as Pharaoh triggering some of the traps but making sure not to trigger any that were legal to those who need air. The giant swing blades were often crashing and breaking as they made contact with Pharaoh, rigid folded Ironstone is no match to Pegasus steel, especially when one is age beyond many years, and the other one is probably only a merely a year old.
Derring dodging the arrows were fleeing from earlier trap, which was set off, for bias slowly moving zombie, that was quickly crushed by it powerful stomping pillar, a both of them had to use their own timing skills to pass the strong pillar of crushing might, Derring easily managed to get through sadly her hat did not, as the unicorn using his magic to lift the hat that was promptly flattened while he was going through. Derring punched her hat and placed it on to her head it didn't still looked a little crushed but, she always wore her explores cap on the ventures no matter how many times she had it replaced.
This time they came to a unique room filled with tiles was on the floor, and a riddle on a stone tablet up above, the riddle said”only those who know of magic, can find the wisdom within Ulyaoth, find the markings of those who use power.”
As Derring looked down to the many tiles after reading the riddle and noticed that they were all cutie marks designs, normally she would have trouble figuring out this riddle based on that subject how do you determine a pony special talents is of her responding to magic without them being noticed as a unicorn. But the cutie marks were very clear on the subject, she figured she had to navigate each tile by stepping on the cutie marks, normally she would just fly over the straps given the option, but considering that she didn't see where the door would be probably popping up to reveal said tablet she would have to press the buttons no matter what.
Rainbow turned the page to find another page with this time circle dots mapping out the exact puzzle, rainbow was now regretting the fact that she brought the book from twilight instead of giving her own, because obviously these more interactive ventures required you to slightly solve puzzles.
(Please go to the unique location marked here.)
As she jumped from panel to panel, slowly making it to the location carefully avoiding the wrong cutie marks it would symbolize possibly a Pegasus or Earth pony, some of them became very hard and tricky to figure out, but with great jumping skills and the ability to fly to make sure she did not step on the wrong panel, she landed on to the final tile, where the pedestal revealed a blue tablet, and a blue unicorn statue, she carefully grabbed both the tablet and the statue and quickly placed into her bag. Then using her wings she flung backwards to the other end of the room but now her bag was getting quite heavy. But obviously there was something important to deal with these statues as well as the tablets, as she navigated through the traps with the mechanical pony behind her Pharaoh of course naturally block several of the traps using his metallic skin. But now some of the traps were more dangerous and more deadly, navigating into the next room there were more monsters this time more horrifying larger ones. Pharaoh using his magic known as the Pharaoh shot charged it up and blasted away the monsters, but it required 14 shots in the stallion was suffering from loss of energy, the book did list the spell to recover energy but they did not have the sufficient mystical runes nor a circle power!
Then they remember the robot that was lying dead in the other core door, but Pharaoh in order to conserve energy could not continue any further, thus derring-do would have to navigate through the traps once again figure out how to safely remove the energy powering the dead robot that was in the previous chamber, and return quickly back to Pharaoh. And hopefully not encounter any dangerous creatures!
Derring made her return trip while carrying the heavy bag she had to navigate the traps that normally would be able to fly over, being very careful not to step on any of the panels.
As she arrived the large honking machine, and start collecting the blue liquid it was kind of strange and, almost all of her containers start being eaten the up by the chemical, except for the stone and obviously the stone would be too heavy to make a container containing a small amount to recharge her friend, nor could she really figure away how to carefully remove the remains of said machine that is also carrying the liquid, then she had a brilliant idea. What if the liquid could be turned into a cloud she could easily move it then!
As rainbow flip the page, to read a ridiculously complicated formula, with several pencil markings of solving the formula equation, a few she could see work highlights handwriting, and the name guesstimated by her famous explorer, as the formula seemingly having similar properties to rainbows, it was referred to as lunar plasma. The arising that was essence of pure nightmare Moon's dark magic turn into a liquid form. Rainbow was shaking her head this was the only time she really was really angry, while math was not one of her favorite subjects, she did spend several hours working in the rainbow production area, ended the proper temperatures to evaporate plasma colors of different varieties, obviously this was probably is a little bit hotter then she expected for converting cloud plasma of the violet variety. But for once she thought she might actually be able to put her knowledge homework to something fun. Granted she did not really won the grade twilight's MathWorks so she completely skipped it.
(As did you too readers, and so we will never know the actual formula that it takes to turn dark Energon liquid into a gaseous storm cloud)

Chapter 3: thunderous thunderclouds!
Rainbow starts reading now back of her awesome house, after working a long day moving clouds.
(I'm wondering if Derring is actually referring to when the many insanity effects that could happen to your character, that could be easily explained off and say she's in her right mind, or did she actually experienced this one, we may never know?)
Derring-do”I'm back with a nice healthy blast of dark magic.” As she was moving the cloud with her wings into position over her Pharaoh who mechanical friend, she expected him to reply with some type of odd joke but his eyes were cold black instead of their normal vibrating strange colors, she became instantly worried and scared hitting the cloud with both of her back legs, as the dark lightning bolt struck the body, his eyes world to life without on sensation he said.
Derring was slightly confused, wondering if she brought back her friend from death itself, if she really retrieved his, as best she could say soul from the Prince of death, brother to the sun and the moon? She was confused but she would decide her confusion for later, as she sat down by her friend and pulled out a small container, a drinking flask, and uncorked the lid”last time I drink from this was from saddle Rabia that's because I was desperate, for moisture, but this time I think this is the first time I'm going to use it for its medicinal properties.” As she took a long drink from it.
Rainbow stopped wondering slightly if she should continue, rented she did read the last time her favorite character got drunk, of course she was suffering from delirium in that desert at the time in the story, here she's getting drunk on purpose, as there was a strange knocking on the door. Rainbow calmly put down her book after placing a bookmark to make sure she didn't lose her place, walked over to the door and noticed a strange contraption being used by pinky pie.
“Pinky you are so random! And what's with the barrels on your strange copter?”
Rainbow calmly chuckled and replied”well if I 'm Derring as derring-do of course all have a few drinks with you!”
Pinky pie made a sly comment”wow you two are really alike, I bet if you were with child and the wonder bolts were needing to do a show you would be there in a heartbeat, flying like crazy or a chance to be in the wonderful skipped your other two years of Academy courses.”
After a few more troubles and jokes pinky pie flying strangely(well more than usual) was heading home on her strange rolling machine. As rainbow passed out in a drunken stupor.
A few hours later RainbowDash returning to her book with a slight hangover.
The two ponies continued off slightly drunk but able to continue their exploration Derring slightly more sober than her mechanical comrade, which was confusing because how can a machine get drunk, and also considering she's a Pegasus which is known that they are more considerably more of a light weight when it comes to alcohol, and the stallion was more of a unicorn which is okay tolerance. Nothing like that Earth pony. As they come across to a small hole in the wall, only large before small animal to go into the whole in investigate, if they were lucky it would be impossible for young filly, none of them have the options though. They once again turning to these strange book of multiple skin tissues, there was a reference it referred to summoning creatures, but required a circle power which they stood not have and several symbols which they also do not have.
Derring suggested that they could try, making their own version trying to translate and use different versions of magic to summon their own versions of creatures, since it was supposedly only a 3 Point Cir. which confused them because circles don't have points and the closest thing to three points would be a triangle, using Celestia is cutie Mark as a example for a circle power, and using the crest of the symbol of the Alicorn Alignment Rune. To represent summoning they use a symbol of a parchment. Since they were summoning a creature, that was small of a animal Derring proceeded with a symbol of a small turtle.
As Pharaoh cast the spell!
“ Alicorn, Royal summon, shield.” And these Circle flashing and it seemed that they've cast a spell incorrect really. Then it came to their drive station that technically probably a creature does not count as a alignment, so once again they tried using celestia symbol within her own cutie Mark, and considering the creature was looking much more like a scorpion, and the diagrams shown in the book, they used a symbol of the scorpion instead of a bear trap on top, as the creature was referred to as a trapper.
Pharaoh proceeded to try casting again!
“Derring-do's notes for young readers, what are you about to read is for bid in magic that due to the special circumstances the Princess allowed us to cast without any legal expressions, do not I repeat do not cast these spells young folds, I know it might be exciting to cast magic that any pony can cast, but be sure not to use these magics, granted what we are summoning here is a small creature capable of teleporting stuff to another universe, and the only way how you would ever be able to reasonably retrieve it back, is to send your self and your friends to this universe as well, I am of immature adult, and I barely got through the place which you'll read later on, do not attempt these magics. The reason they are for bidding is stated clearly, the creatures we were facing before hand can be also summoned IVs magics, that we were about to demonstrate only and a stronger power set up we do not know the symbol power so thankfully you probably never come across it. Signed yours truly derring-do.” Rainbowdash read out loud, while rainbow was brave brash and sure of herself, she was not reckless and would not summon the deadly creatures, and can only imagine the other forms that these things could take channeling through other ponies magics, and this book was obviously written before Luna's return and twilights promotion. Old rainbow, might have done this because of her bold brashness but over the years she has been tempered, understanding recklessness and showing off are two totally different things.
As she calmly silently read the reaction spell, and then read the description of the creature that they summon, a strange scorpion like creature made out fire her as hot as Celestia flames of magic, with the rainbow coat of fires, as it made a strange screeching noise, as the Pharaoh stallion was in a small trans controlling the creature walking through the small hallway, a short time later Pharaoh reverted back to normal, and replied”there was a mystical tablet and ancient symbol inside the small hallway as a small lever, I targeted three things and sent them into the dimension in that the voices speak of, I do not believe so I can cast a spell on myself to reasonably summon myself back, and the only way to retrieve said items is to visit this strange location, the voices did state that magic would not work there and since I'm sold by magic I don't think I will function, are you willing to take this chance ms.Doo?”
As rainbow eagerly flip to the next page, the next chapter!
Derring-do in the tomb of Mantorok
Chapter 4: I fear for my own sanity.
Derring nodded, as Pharaoh proceeded to summon the creature once again and sent Derring into the trapper dimension, hoping that daring figure a way out of the dimension itself.
The dimension was dark and dreary, with floating three platforms, strange glowing lights of teleportation, bizarre symbols were scattered everywhere, monsters line several of the platforms, floating the sky were strange things, even a blue police box. Derring tried to fly across the areas but her wings couldn't function the way they normally do it was almost like they were being pulled to the ground, finding a small rock and threw it into the portal, that was shifting colors, the rock landed did onto another one of the floating platforms, is coming out from where the portal colored jewel bright green, Derring figured out that each portal shifted to a different area, the purple area looked like a strange circle gateway to return back to normal world, right next to her worthy objects then teleported previously, she gathered them up into her bag mysterious purple symbol, a tablet translating said purple symbol, and a lever of old stone, and find it carefully to match the purple signal on the portal that was going through colors, as she stepped through the gateway arriving on the other side 2 zombies were attacking her, she kicked him down with her back legs and start running towards the gateway, as she came out she was standing right next to Pharaoh.
As the stallion next to her replied”I see you found your way out is good and you have the materials?”
Pharaoh was reading the towers and explained”I'm Chattur'gha the strongest and most powerful old of the ancients, no one beats me in raw power, I wish to kill my mortal enemy that sorcerer but is in magic is he's cheating power, and the hiding. I think I'll skip this one because I think it's a curse word on mares like yourself.”
Derring snickered, as well as rainbow reading that particular part, sadly in the book you did not mention the swear word she could see if one the many things see if her favorite farmer pony has said that, in one of her many fits of rage. It's amazing that applejack is terrible at several other schools things but her knowledge of words was almost rivaling her own, which that just reminded her so she had to put down the bookmark been stopped working on her book to help applejack with her morning taxes.
As rainbow was flying out complaining”applejack you have problems with math yet you work in a business, how is it possible?” (For you people were wondering why am I making rainbowdash really good at math yet she hates it, it's simple obviously she knows how to put in the major efforts, to pull off her daring tricks and skills that does require mathematic knowledge, & I'm figuring there's lots of math in the clouds school program because, rainbow figured out the tornado program on her own calculating how much wind power it takes to beat, Maine Hatton which probably doesn't have a large source of water are like PonyVill.)
After helping applejack with some math problems that she really didn't want to deal with but she is a good friend, sometimes being loyal to a fault can be a problem, but she didn't earn the title for nothing.
Twilight gave a simple defense it's on why she made such a foolish mistake”yes but she actually has experience flying, I'm still getting used to being able to see the entire town from a totally new perspective.”
Rainbowdash give a little look and gave twilight directions, and said”good luck twilight. I got a book to finish.” As twilight try flying out, as there was a purple smoke clouds in the distance, coming from the ground.
Rainbowdash chuckled at and opened up her book!
As rainbow flipped open the page, and revealed a small triangle location and on the book, and there was the instructions”by now you've solve several of the puzzles and claimed your statues, that you bought with the purchase of this book, now you must solve the same riddle that derring-do and Pharaoh completed.” Rainbow Shrugged and just try flipping the page over to the next page, but the page was coated with a special mystical magical Inc. that would make it impossible for her to skip to the end, & avoiding the puzzle so in order for her to find the ending she must complete this puzzle, but she didn't have the statues. Rainbow dropped the book and flew straight out to twilight, and she began scanning the town looking all over the place used for the several potholes that twilight has made over the town lately, she checked the hole inside Barry punches house, but no twilight just a slightly drunk pony, she went over to rarities but no twilight, applejack who is rebuilding her barn for the fourth time(well you have to rebuild every season, with the exception of season three it was rebuilt twice) rainbow then proceeded to check flutter shy's house, and she was thankfully there.
Twilight smiled and said”so you finish your book Dash, how was it?”
Meanwhile in the crystal empire.
[Also folks remember our favor rainbow colored pony, as just gone from the center of the entire contrary, to the northern lights, within the time span of a few seconds, I think someone is gotten the Chaos emeralds? Or at least collecting a couple of rings to make a sonic reference.)
Just as the wall was being finished being repaired, a brand-new hole caused by the rainbow pony you appeared, causing Golden harvest a.k.a. carrot top to freak out once again and say”why is my house the new applejack barn!” Pointing out that everyone in town knows that Apple Barn is constantly getting replaced! As rainbow dash out with this three statues at hand, proving that her name was well earned, returning back to her cloudy home, and then proceeded to try to figure out how to solve the puzzle.
“Okay let's start off with what we did learn.” Placing the statues in the order that the previous puzzle still explained, the page was flashing bright red, and gave up was during noise. Obviously this was the wrong answer, so it was not going by the elemental puzzle will rock by the one who wanted the color red to win which was the Earth pony symbol, so she tried placing on top different pony statues following the order in question, each time the page flash red, then she tried arranging it in the battle styles that was stated of how usually most battles go differently if you don't take in count the pony special skills and talents, Pegasus usually defeat Earth pony because they don't have the ability to attack him from long range, unicorns defeat petrified because they contact them from long-range making all the advantages of being in the air very useful, and the unicorns are easily defeated by the Earth ponies, and then placing the statues in the order you received them, guessing from the story. The page response with the shiny green light, the statues left up to reveal the next page! As rainbow smiled and began to continue reading.
After the horrifying thing I'm not going to tell you the end of the actual book! But judging that this is grandma's from Derby you can guess that grandma lived. I may give you the ending later. But you're going to have to wait a whole year for it! Now for my evil laugh! (Mark Hamill's Joker)
