After the group had finished their breakfest, a rather familiar object was falling out of the sky straight towards them all.

"Is it a meteorite?", asked Spike.

"Oh no", sighed Griffy, "I can't be what I think it is"

The object finally crashed onto the ground in front of them all, accidently landing right on Griffy. It was none other than that dim-witted, cross-eyed, female Pegasus Pony, Ditzy Doo (AKA Derpy Hooves).

"You're the represenatives of the Elements of Harmony!", said Ditzy with joy, once she aknowledged them all, "Is the Phoenix a new member of your gang?"

"Philomena is here just to guide us through certain areas of the Everfree Forest", replied Twilight, "What are you doing here, by the way? Aren't you supposed to be delivering mail?"

"I wanted to try out that rainbow-colored explosion my race can do when we dive bomb from the air", replied Ditzy.

"You mean a Sonic Rainboom?", asked Fluttershy and Rainbow Dash, a little unamused.

"Wait", interupted Spike, "Where's Griffy?"

Ditzy immediately flew away, just in time to reveal Griffy unconcious on the ground.

"Griffy?", asked Rarity.

"Oh my darling!", Griffy spoke in Gabbagonian, his eyes still closed, grabbing Rarity's face, "My little ball of sunshine!". He was not awake, clearly. Since he was dreaming about his childhood crush, Glonia, he gave Rarity a big slurp on her face with his tongue. The whole group a acted grossed-out and shocked, Spike most of all. Griffy opened his eyes to see himself in front of Rarity with his tongue on her snout. He let go of her and shrieked on horror.

"I hath been poithoned!", he cried, his tongue hanging from his beak, "I need tho wath mythelth!"

He immediatly rushed over to a nearby pond, stuck his longish beak in and made bubbles. After that, he gasped and began breathing heavily from both exhaustion and shock. "I need to watch myself whenever I'm unconcious"

Eventually, the group made it back to Canterlot. First thing they did was present the retrieved venom jar to Celestia and Luna and tell them how their latest adventure went. The jar was taken back to its safe by the guards.

"Wait a minute", interupted Celestia at one point in their story-telling of their quest, "Goliath? He's returned?"

"He tried to kill Philomena more than the 8 of us", said Griffy. Philomena, on the other hand, was so relieved to be back home with Celestia, but still a little freaked out about the life and death journey that had just taken place.

"I knew his jealousy would get the better of him and turn him over to the dark side", sighed Celestia, "I actually miss the big-sized Bird"

"One other thing", added Luna, "Since my sister and I knew of the prehistoric center of the Everfree Forest's existence, we had Canterlot's first prehistory museum constructed in your honor. We hired some Pony paleontologists to find fossils and send them to display in the museum"

The friends got exited by this thought and decided to go see this museum for themselves. But before Twilight left with the others, she had to ask her mentor a very important question. "Me and my Pony friends got trapped in a mystic cave that gives you alternate visions and we saw them as the universe conquered by evil if the mission were to be failed. Could that all really happen?"

"Well since it was all alternate", said Celestia, reasonably, "It obviously won't happen. You see, in the far off future, it is fortold that my alicorn kin will destroy Kurayami forever, thus destroying anything against our will forever, and all good souls will be taken away to a new happy realm of peace. But that will not be until who knows when"

After that, Twilight caught up with her 7 friends and they arrived at the museum. The place was filled with the skeletons of long extinct Creatures from all different past geological time periods. The Ponies' favorite was the skeleton to the ancestor to all Equines, Tapirs and Rhinos: Hyracotherium, no bigger than a Domestic Cat and having 4 hoof-like toes on each foot. Spike's favorite was the skeleton of a very well-known primitive Dragon: Megadracosaurus, bipedal with no front legs but wings instead (like a Bat or Bird) and a pair of Goat-like horns on its head. Griffy's favorite was the skeleton of the ancestor of all Griffins and Hippogriffs: Proto-Griffin, Protoceratops-like with a large Eagle-like wings on its back and a long Lion-like tail.

"You know", said Griffy to his 7 friends, "That valley truley spoke to me. I believe that all of Equestria should be like tha rest of the planet, an independant enviroment not neeading a pony's attention to function properly"

"You're kiddin' raght?", asked Applejack.

"I say because I'm an Everfree Forest Creature. Don't you all see, my friends, all these non-sentient wild Creatures all around us require our abscence to survive, they really don't need any forced help to live. I mean if we could all just step aside, and just in nature". He began to shed tears of both happiness and pride. "Life will find a way"

"You may have a point", said Twilight, thinking about the prehistoric valley at the Everfree Forest's heart and all its spectacular wonders.
