While the stampede was happening Ruby was using her speed to take to the air as Jaune used his shield to call out ,"Radiance spike wall between us and the land bridge back to Town!"

the unicorn died it and she watched as grim charged into spikes turning to ash upon impact! As Saddle rager grabbed a boar grimm by the tusks and ripped it in half the blonde male said," they have no mind and the canyon below is a death pit forest! That is our edges! Ruby! Grab matter horn! Take her with you to the cave's spawning pit! Then Matter horn hit freeze on the pit! Freeze the slime and try to keep it froze while we handle out it! so we can make a dent!"

Jaune pushed one away as ruby grabbed matter horn and took her with her as she said," Not going to lie this is really doing it Jaune!"

Fili-second was running around she had Blake's sheave sword using speed to slash Grimm as jaune said, "Blake! We were not done getting the clues to the staff you got your scroll!?" she nodded and he said," Good try to get in there when they slow down and take the pictures! Zapp go with her use lighting to light the cave and charge the thing! Defend her while she does this!"

Zapp flow down grabbing the Cat as she said," You know he is good at this!"

Jaune drew his sword to stab a boar as he jumped on to a bolder to get out, "Ok Now for the dust band! Saddle Ragger when the grimm slow down smash and Blake is done taking pictures! You smash it! hit it as hard as you can! Brake it into rocks so Fili-second can use her speed to sort them form the normal Rocks! Pile them so we can grab them when we leave!"

Radiance was holding her wall of grimm killing as Jaune said," Radiance when we are going to go We will need to destroy the land bridge so the boars will fall to death! Then warn the town about the Grimm! We'll need one caged alive for that! So they can know that some will make it through and get guards ready!"

Saddle rager was blushing as she ripped apart boars the numbers slowly as she said, "Oh my White knight! But it's rose red and shadow panther!" She said correcting him!

Mare-velous was using her rope to grab and crush the grim boars in groups as she said, "Rager! The stallion is in the zone! And it's bucking hot! Just enjoy it!"

there was a sound of agreement but Blake and Ruby added, "BUT JUST FRIENDS!"

The blonde rolled his eyes as he slashed a boar they were slowing down his plan was working perfectly!

In fact before long they where done all load up with dust crystals on the zeppelin construct leaving the newly warned town.

On the bright construct Jaune was looking at the picture, "clues to the crystal kingdom! Are it lays hidden in plain Site! Only the crown of the purple princess can light the way!?"

Ruby then through her hands up and said," PURPLE PRINCESS GEEE SOUNDS LIKE THERE WOULD BE A LOT HERE!" She said complaining about the final part of the clue!"

Jaune in a moment bonked her on the head with the scroll as he said," Not really! There has only been one female royal on record here! I know I did my research! And luckily we are passing by it's location!"

he said as radiance steered the ship to what looked like the ruins of Canterlot castle as in the middle of the sands they then landed as the hunters reloaded there weapons and Jaune said," Canterlot Castle! The only proof to the so called stories of the golden age! Legend says the last princess who lived here was the sister of the crystal kingdom's ruler! So that make sense only one problem!"

he said kicking a rock to see it bounce off, "the fucking thing is locked away with powerful magic barrier!"

Ruby was poking at the barrier as she said," So cool! I mean So We have to get in there but how!"

masked matter horn put a hand on her hips and said," if you know tell us! Because with my day job I've seen ponies and other races try and fail to reach it! there is no way in!"

Jaune then reached in to his backpack with her kept safe through the boar as he said, "yes but we have something they didn't!" he said holding the Crown out. " if we all take turns wearing it math says sooner or later we'll see the answer to our problem! Again sooner or later probably later!"

in a moment the nine of them all took turns wearing it and passing it around a few times till Ruby said," I GOT IT I GOT IT!" She smiled wearing it while jumping as she said, "the pass word I know it! it's the name of her and her six advisers I know that as I said it in the vision Twilight sparkle! Rarity! Applejack! Pinkiepie! Fluttershy and Rainbow dash! Plus some times Spike the dragon!"

In a moment the barrier shattered as it responded," and they prove friendship is magic!"

Everyone blinked at that as Blake face palmed, "Really? That was the secret of the magic barrier a simple name list! Ok let's head in!"

She then opened it and saw statues of the named mares all dressed in simple royal white dress and jewels in a line with Twilight in the middle with Spike behind her!

Masked matter horn looked at the statues and said," I guess the dragon was Twilight's lover!" she said walking over to the crown with the element of magic crown in the middle, "so this is it the princess magic crown! And with it the six magic necklaces our adviser used! It was said only together could the gems work! So no pony could abuse there magic!"

Jaune held his chin as he said," Wait didn't the legend say one of the spells it could cast was turn to stone and back?" they all blinked before looking at the statues with were life size.

Saddle rager blinked and backed away, "I am sorry but this just turned creepy! They aren't statues! That would be so bukcing creepy!" She said backing away and shivering.

Ruby blinked and said, "Jaune please tell me you are joking!" jaune was already putting the Gems and crown in power ponies hand.

the blonde said, "Light can me to guide or be literal we can not leave it to chance!"

In a moment he got the right combo and the elements of harmony shined for the first time in centuries.

Matter horn held magic! Radiance generosity, mare-velous honesty, fili-second laughter, saddle rager kindness, and finally Zapp with Loyalty.

in a moment the light made the stone crack as the princess of Friendship and her friend's returned to life under it not aged.

Blake jumped and looked to Jaune, "Why are you so good at this!?" She asked holding her hands out, "I mean! All of a sudden you are the king of this magic treasure hunt! I am sorry to freak out in front of a princess for centuries ago and the royal court! But Catty is freaking out!"

Jaune petted her between the ears and she purred and said," don't worry I got this!"

Twilight sat on her throne holding her head," How long have we been trapped in stone?"

no one could speak so Jaune said, "Centuries enough for your time to be thought of as just stories and legends! I am Jaune arc the white knight! And as everyone else is stunned I'll handle introductions your majesty princess Twilight sparkle!"
