Hello again, here is chapter eight, enjoy.


" I'm seriously not the only one here having a good time, here, have a drink yourselves", said Rainbow Dash, grabbing another cup and sent it to Rarity, tipping the wine into her mouth, Rarity swallowed the red liquid, and then her mind began to spin.

" Wow, that stuff really is powerful", said Rarity.

" See, Rarity get's it, anyone else what a turn", said Rainbow Dash.

" Count me in", said Pinkie Pie, grabbed a cup and drinking from it.

" What about you Fluttershy, care to show us your little wild side we missed out on", said Rainbow Dash, offering Fluttershy a cup.

" No, I'm not making that mistake again", said Fluttershy.

" Oh loosen up a little bit", said Rainbow Dash.

" That was exactly what it did to me last time", said Fluttershy.

" Don't worry darling, what ever happens on the island, stays on the island", said Rarity after drinking from her second cup.

" Okay I think you have had enough as well Rarity", said Twilight.

" Well, okay then, since you're just going to keep nagging all night if I don't", said Fluttershy, she took the cup from Rainbow Dashes hand, and took a sip from it.

" How about the rest of you", said Rainbow Dash, looking at Applejack, Sunset and Twilight.

" No way, I'm gonna make sure nobody gets hurt", said Applejack.

" I'm with Applejack", said Twilight.

" What about you Sunset", said Rainbow Dash.

" I'll only have one cup, and that will do for me", said Sunset.

Twilight and Applejack both looked at Sunset.

" What, it's just one drink, what harm will it do", said Sunset.

" Okay then", said Rainbow Dash, handing Sunset a cup, to which Sunset began to drink from.

" Come on guys, like Sunset said, what harm will one cup do", said Rainbow Dash, holding out two cups of wine, offering one each to Twilight and Applejack.

" I don't know", said Twilight.

Applejack just sighed, and took one of the cups from Rainbow Dash, and took a sip.

" If anything bad happens Rainbow Dash, it'll be your fault", said Applejack.

" I know, I'll take the blame for whatever happens, but it's not like anything bad is actually going to happen", said Rainbow Dash.

" Including whatever we do, even anything embarrassing", said Applejack.

" Whatever, what about you Twilight", said Rainbow Dash.

Twilight sighed, knowing she's the only one left, took the cup and drank from it.

" That's the spirit", said Rainbow Dash, taking another drink.

" I think that's enough", said Twilight, however, Rainbow Dash poured another cup full in Twilight's mouth, soon each of the girls have had at least two cups of the wine, and they began dancing like it was the 31st of December 1999.

" I feel so great", said Fluttershy, giggling in her drunken tone.

" I love this stuff", said Pinkie Pie.

" I told ya, let's have some fun", said Rainbow Dash.

" Oh no, here we go again", thought the monkey.


The seven woke up, groaning, they looked at the sun to see it up top so it must be noon.

" I see you girls have awakened, I decided to let you sleep in, knowing you'll have a hangover", said the monkey, however Fluttershy was the only one to understand that, the others only hear monkey noises.

" What did he say", said Rainbow Dash.

" He let us sleep in because of our hangover", said Fluttershy.

The monkey then spoke again.

" What did he say now", said Rainbow Dash.

" He was wondering if we're still okay to go to exile island, the bridge is visible", said Fluttershy.

" What bridge", said Rainbow Dash.

" And stone bridge that we can use to cross the river is covered by the tide", said Fluttershy.

" Well can you tell him to give us some time to get ready", said Rainbow Dash.

" Okay", said Fluttershy, she then turned to the monkey, " Can we have one hour to get ourselves ready".

The monkey nodded and left the room.

" I told ya Rainbow Dash, if anything happened to us", said Applejack.

" But nothing happened, nobody's hurt and we're all still in once piece", said Rainbow Dash.

" But we could've done something embarrasing", said Twilight.

" Well it's not like it would matter, I can't even remember what happened last night", said Rainbow Dash.

" Me either", said Pinkie Pie.

" Nor me", said Rarity.

" Nothing from me either", said Sunset.

" I can't even remember the last time I was drunk, so I don't know how this would be any different", said Fluttershy.

" And I doubt any of you two have any recollection of last night either", said Rainbow Dash, looking at Applejack and Twilight.

" Not really to be honest", said Applejack.

" I can't remember anything either", said Twilight.

" So what's the point of making a fuss of tiny mistakes you don't remember doing", said Rainbow Dash.

" Far enough, but I am certain the monkey knows what we've done", said Twilight.

" But who's he going to tell, except maybe Fluttershy, but she won't tell everyone, won't you", said Rainbow Dash, looking at Fluttershy.

" Uh, no, I won't, uh, anyway, let's go to the river", said Fluttershy.

" You don't mean the crocodile river right", said Pinkie Pie.

" No, there is another river containing fresh water", said Fluttershy.

" I know, I was just messing around", said Pinkie Pie.


The girls left the temple and made their way to the river.

They took a drink from the fresh water.

" Okay, so, if we're going to bath, we can do it one at a time, or..", Fluttershy was cut off by Rarity.

" Don't worry darling, I got bathing suits", said Rarity, she opened her bag pulling out seven wet suits.

" You always seem to come in handy when it comes to clothing and fashion do you", said Pinkie Pie.

" I miss you Rarity, I miss you all", said Fluttershy.

And so, they all got changed, and got in the pool, had their own little pool party, they felt like they it was only Yesterday they were having this much fun.

They got dried and changed and made their way to the temple.

Fluttershy approached the monkey.

" We are all ready", she said.


They arrived at exile island, after crossing the river, and going through the small jungle, they arrived at the cave.

" Well, this is it", said the monkey.

Sunset placed her hand on the cave, a vision then formed in her mind, she snapped out of it, and turned to the others.

" I've mapped out where she is, she's in the shrine, which is the same place as the treasure, and she's been living on mice the past few days", said Sunset.

" Wait, treasure", said Rainbow Dash.

" Yeah, this cave has treasure buried here century's ago", said Sunset.

" Hang on, this must be the island Zumba was telling me about, he said, the temple is not what we think, so I know it's not in the temple I've been sleeping in the past few days", said Fluttershy.

" And the temple the treasure was kept was in the cave, the inside of the cave was carved like a temple, the inhabitants who lived here centuries ago made this before they all died to keep the treasure there no matter what, and also to make sure no outsiders take it", said Sunset.

" Well, we know where the lioness is, and the treasure, so what now", said Rainbow Dash.

" I'll get Leo, and let him know", said Fluttershy.

" I'll come with you", said Twilight.

" Me too", said Pinkie Pie.

" What about the rest of you", said Fluttershy.

" I'm good, I'll stay", said Applejack.

" I'll stay as well", said Rainbow Dash.

" I'll keep an up to date check of the lionesses whereabouts", said Sunset.

" I'll come with you", said Rarity.

The monkey hopped onto Fluttershy's shoulder as they, along with Twilight, Pinkie Pie and Rarity left exile island, while Sunset, Rainbow Dash and Applejack stayed at the cave.


Fluttershy, Rarity, Pinkie Pie and Twilight were on their way to Leo's Den, however that was when they noticed some men where there, there was about 15 of them, and they were all rounding up the lions, throwing them in cages, they were also tranquilizing them with darts.

" HEY, WHAT'S THE BIG IDEA", shouted Pinkie Pie.

The men turned and tried to shoot, when Pinkie Pie shot out some marshmallows which exploded on the men, Fluttershy ran to one of the cages and tried to pry it open, when one of the men grabbed her, she tried struggling, then she heard a gunshot.

" WHAT'S GOING ON", a man's voice was heard, Fluttershy turned to see someone familiar.

" It's you", said Fluttershy, surprised to see the pilot.

" Fluttershy, why, I was just looking for you", said the Pilot.

" Don't lie, you left me, there was a rescue helicopter and you abandoned me, and what's with all this", said Fluttershy, referring to the other men.

" I guess you caught me", said the pilot.

" What", said Fluttershy.

" I am not a pilot, I am a hunter", said the pilot, now a hunter.

" More like a poacher", said Rarity.

" You're right, not just any poacher", said the former pilot, he took off his hair, revealing it as a wig, showing his bald head, also showing a scar of a skull and cross bones.

" You, you're him", said Fluttershy.

" That's right, I'm Bane the Poacher, as you have seen on the news, a criminal arrested for poaching and killing 17 animals in the Canterlot zoo 12 months ago, and escaped 8 months later", said Bane.

" And you're now hunting down these lions", said Fluttershy.

" Yes, but not to kill, that's for our customers to decide", said Bane.

" Customers", said Twilight.

" We're taking these animals to a black market, we're making thousands of dollars per lion we sell", said Bane.

" That's just horrid", said Rarity.

" I know, but that's not all I'm here for", said Bane, turning to Fluttershy.

" What do you mean", said Fluttershy.

" Remember the story Zumba told you about a hidden treasure in a temple on an island, well, this is the island he was talking about", said Bane.

" I know", said Fluttershy.

" Oh really, care to explain how", said Bane.

" Well, I discovered the parts of the island he mentioned", said Fluttershy.

" And also your friends are here too, also care to explain that explosion that just happened, because I know it wasn't from any of my crew", said Bane.

" I.. Uh", Fluttershy had to think, she didn't want to reveal her power in front of a monster, he'll use it against her and her friends, that's when Pinkie Pie stepped in.

" We're all standing on a land mine field", said Pinkie Pie.

" What", one of Bane's poachers shouted in shock.

" Yeah, and one false move, KA-BOOM", shouted Pinkie Pie, as she threw another marshmallow out of her pocket which caused another explosion on the ground.

A few of the poachers started to panic, as Pinkie Pie threw in more marshmallows causing explosions, most of the men took off running, back to the boat, only four were still remaining.

That was when Bane approached Pinkie Pie and grabbed her wrist.

" And exactly how did you make those marshmallows explode", said Bane.

" I don't know what you're talking about, we're on a...", Pinkie Pie was cut off.

" You may have fooled most of my men, but you didn't fool me, I know you have thrown those marshmallows on the ground and they explode, and you're going to tell me how", said Bane, pulling out a gun and pointing it at Pinkie Pie.

" Woah, please, let's talk about this, you wouldn't really shoot a young woman now, would you", said Pinkie Pie.

" Try me", said Bane.

" Wow, you actually are awful", said Pinkie Pie.

" Enough messing around and tell me how you got those marshmallows to explode", said Bane.

" Would you believe me if I said I owned my own Chocolate Factory", said Pinkie Pie.

" No", said Bane.

" Didn't think so", said Pinkie Pie.

" If you don't tell me in the next three seconds, I will pull the trigger", said Bane.

" Why is it important to you anyway", said Pinkie Pie.

" I know you're hiding something, I know all seven of you girls are hiding something, now what is it", said Bane, he then turned to one of the poachers.

" Tell the others to get back here", he said, the poacher then took off heading for the boat.

Bane then turned his head back to the girls.

" I know the other three girls are with you, I would assume so saying you four are here, now, where are they, and I want an answer this time", said Bane, keeping the gun pointed at Pinkie Pie.

" They're at a small island in the middle of the river", said Twilight.

" An island inside an island", said Bane.

" In the middle of a tidal river surrounded by crocodiles", said Fluttershy.

The poacher returned with three other men.

" Where's the rest of the men", said Bane.

" They all took off on their boats", said the poacher.

" Useless, anyway, grab the others and let's go", said Bane.

While three other men grabbed Fluttershy, Rarity and Twilight, Bane kept hold of Pinkie Pie as they walked towards the river.

Meanwhile Sunset was still talking to Rainbow Dash and Applejack.

" Hopefully we can have a little look at the treasure, I mean, since we're on the island and have found where the treasure is, we might as well look at it", said Sunset.

" Why can't we just take some", said Rainbow Dash.

" We can't, because not only it would disrespect the people who once owned this land, the place is filled with booby traps, setting one off can get you killed, at least I can use my psychic powers to locate the traps", said Sunset.

" So you Psychic powers", a voice called, the three turned to see Bane with the other four girls being held hostage.

" Wait, aren't you the pilot", said Applejack.

" He's a poacher, run", said Fluttershy.

Bane then with his gun kept pointed at Pinkie Pie said, " Move, and I'll blow her up".

" You bastard", said Rainbow Dash.

" You better watch it Rainbow Dash, remember who you're dealing with", said Bane.

" How do you know my name", said Rainbow Dash.

" I know all your names, Fluttershy's told me all about you, now, Sunset, I believe you know where the treasure is", said Bane.

" No I don't", said Sunset.

" Don't lie, now we are going in that cave, and Sunset will lead us to the treasure, and it better be there, now move it, all of you", said Bane.

They entered the cave, and went down the tunnel, then they arrived at the small precipice, Bane looked at the rope above, each end of the rope tied to each end of the chasm.

" I'll go first, the girls will go after, then you all will go, no funny business", said Bane, he went across first, as said, then Pinkie Pie went, followed by Twilight, Rainbow Dash, Fluttershy, Sunset, Rarity and Applejack, then it was the other four poachers, three of them made it across, and the fourth one was about to, when one end of the rope snapped.

He screamed as he swung to the edge, hitting it, but he kept hold, he was about to climb up the rope, when the other end snapped, the others watched him scream as he fell into the darkness below.

" Let's move", said Bane, continuing onward, the others following, not saying anything.

They walked past the lion skeleton, and went onward to where Fluttershy doesn't know what's there.

They then looked to see a hallway, the cave began looking like a temple.

Bane looked to see another entrance at the other end of the hall, but the next stepped he made caused a dart to shoot out of the walls, flew past him, and landed at the other side, he stepped back and turned to Sunset.

" Why didn't you warn me about the booby trap, I nearly got killed", said Bane.

" Unfortunately you didn't", said Rainbow Dash, Bane glared at her, then turned to Sunset.

" Are these darts poisoned", said Bane.

" Yeah, I thought you would know that as well, you said you nearly got killed", said Sunset.

" Since you know where the booby traps are, you are going to walk through", said Bane.

Sunset then walked across the tiles, Bane kept note of the steps she took, once she made it across, Bane made the other girls go across, soon Bane went through, as well as the other three poachers, however, one poacher stepped on the wrong tile accidentally, and a dart shot out and landed on his neck, the other watched as he collapsed onto the ground, not moving.

" What else is there", said Bane to Sunset.

" Another precipice, however there is a log placed on top so we can cross easily", said Sunset.

" Anything else after that", said Bane.

" Just the shrine, where the treasure is kept", said Sunset.

" Alright, for your sake, you better be telling the truth", said Bane.

They all continued walking, they then reached another precipice.

" What's the point of those people keeping us from getting the treasure when they placed a log there for us to get across", said Bane.

" Maybe they figured we wouldn't get this far, or maybe they forgot to remove it", said Sunset.

" Well they're nothing but idiots", said Bane.

So Bane walked across the log first, and the girls went after one by one, and as for the other two poachers, they both walked on the log together, which caused the log the break, and both poachers went falling down in the pit below.

" The log doesn't supply weight, so too much weight will cause it to break, as well as jumping on it, or standing on it too long", said Sunset.

" And you could've told me this before we crossed the log, now it's broken, and we're trapped, and all of my poachers are dead", said Bane.

" And you're still alive unfortunately", said Rainbow Dash.

" If I hear one more word out of your mouth I'm blowing your brains out", said Bane, pointing the gun at Rainbow Dash.

" You're outnumbered, 7-1, we can take you out, plus I have super speed, I can dodge your bullets, shoot me, I dare you", said Rainbow Dash.

Bane then pulled the trigger, to which Rainbow Dash dodged.

" See, and don't try and shoot Rarity either, she can block them", said Rainbow Dash.

Bane fired a shot at Rarity who blocked the bullet with a crystal shield.

" How dare you, firing a gun at a lady", said Rarity.

" Uh, two ladies, he tried to shoot me too", said Rainbow Dash.

" If you're a lady, start acting like one", said Rarity.

" Whatever, anyway Bane, Applejack has super strength, Twilight has Telekinesis, Pinkie Pie can make candy explode and Fluttershy can talk to animals, all of our powers against a single gun, face it, you've lost", said Rainbow Dash.

That was when Bane grabbed Fluttershy and placed the gun on her head.

" And if any of you use your powers, Fluttershy will become Flutterdie", said Bane.

" Wow, you need to come up with a better pun than that", said Pinkie Pie.

" Just shut up and get moving, all of you", said Bane.

" Okay, besides, it's doesn't matter if we reach the shrine, it's not like you're going to leave the island with it", said Applejack.

" Who's going to stop me", said Bane.

" Wasn't it you who pointed out a minute ago that we're trapped here, and have no other way to get across that precipice", said Applejack.

Bane thought about it for a moment, then turned to Sunset.

" Hey, Psychic girl, is there any other way out of this cave, and don't lie, all our lives depend on it", said Bane.

" Yes, there is, at the upper parts of the cliff there are more than one way out of here", said Sunset.

" Do any of them have booby traps", said Bane.

" No", said Sunset.

" You could've told me that before we got in", said Bane.

" I was under pressure, you pointing a gun at me caused it", said Sunset.

Bane sighed, " Let's just keep going, we're wasting time".


And I'm going to end it there, so recap, the seven girls journey was cut short when a gang of poachers surround them, now they are in the cave which is actually a lost temple, how will they get out of this one, the next chapter will be the last chapter, until then.
