The six ponies come out of the blue pipe.

"We're still beneath the cave." Applejack said. "We gotta find a way outta here."

"But we still need to find Princess Celestia and that other young heroine." Rarity pointed out.

"Right, we find that giant plant, and it's pounding time!" Rainbow Dash said ready to battle it.

The next area they go in they get fire flowers, green shells, a bean, and pocket chomps. After that, they step on the switch and the door slowly unlocks and opens a passage to the next room.

"This room is really quiet." Rarity thought.

"Too quiet even." Applejack said feeling a little suspicious. "Something ain't right here."

"There must be a way out somewhere!" Rainbow Dash said. "But first, let's get some more coins."

Rainbow Dash hits the block and got another coin from it. However, after the block was hit, the ground starts rumbling beneath them and Petey Piranha rises up from the ground.

"Ah knew there was something goin on around here!" Applejack now realized.

Petey Piranha roars at the six of them before eating the block Rainbow Dash hit thinking it was chocolate. However, he starts getting a weird feeling in his mouth and spits it out which bounces off a few columns and hits the wall making a huge crack. He then jumps down in front of the girls who run off and hide behind some rocks.

Applejack and Rainbow Dash were behind one as Applejack peeked out from behind. "Rarity!"

Rarity peeks out from the other side and walked slowly with her past self on her back to her friends. Petey saw her and jumps right in front of the unicorn making her go back into hiding, then jumps back to the other side.

"Rarity!" Applejack called her again and she made her way to the group except she was missing something.

"Rarity, I think you're forgetting something!" Rainbow Dash points out.

"What could I possibly forget?" Rarity asked, but it turns she forgot about Filly Rarity who comes out of hiding. "Oh dear, it her I forgot about! GET OUT OF THERE YOUNG ME!"

Filly Rarity tries to get away but got followed by Petey Pirahna as it lets out another roar and blocks her path. Suddenly, Filly Rarity started crying as Rarity went over to her and scooped her up. Before she did that Rainbow Dash had her past self hit the back of Petey's head turning away from Rarity and to the pegasus instead.

"You picked the wrong day to mess with me and my friends!" Rainbow Dash said.

"Darn tootin'." Applejack agreed.

"Fighting's not really my thing. I'm more into fashion, BUT I WILL RIP YOU TO PIECES FOR SCARING THE DAYLIGHTS OUT OF MY YOUNGER SELF!" Rarity adds with anger.

The six of them face the giant plant as it roars yet again.

"It's go time!" Rainbow Dash said.

[Boss Battle: Petey Piranha]

Rainbow Dash made the first move this time and she goes through the items list and selects the trampoline. "Up for a bounce anypony?"

"Always!" Applejack replied.

"For once, I will make an exception." Rarity added. "Let's get him!"

All six of them bounce on the trampoline and high up into the air. Rainbow Dash plummets down fast and bounced off the plants head then onto the trampoline again. Applejack comes down next and does the same thing along with Rarity and their past selves. This kept going on five times until Filly Rainbow Dash faltered, but the others got a good amount of damage: 598. The trampoline disappeared and the six of them regroup.

Now it was Petey's turn to attack and he flaps up where three blocks appear and he lands on them. Next he dives downwards and into the ground causing some rocks to roll towards the ponies. They all immediately dodge them.

It's now Rarity's turn and she also bought out the trampoline. She along with her past self bounce high into the air followed by Applejack and Rainbow Dash. They all immediately come down and bounce off Petey's head giving him some damage and repeat the pattern again. That is until Filly Rarity and Applejack didn't give him too much damage and the trampoline vanished. The rest of them gave him a lot more and now Petey's health decreased by 523.

Petey once again flaps upwards where the three blocks have appeared once again for him to land on. He dives down again towards the ground and into it making more giant rocks to roll at the ponies. Both Applejack and Rainbow Dash dodged them but Rarity didn't dodge in time and took some damage.

"I have had enough of this!" Rarity said. "We need to end this NOW!"

"Way ahead of ya." Applejack nodded in agreement.

"Hey Applejack, it's time to call in the big guns!" Rainbow Dash insisted.

"You read my mind!" Applejack chose the trampoline and the process repeats itself yet again as they all bounce up and fall down right onto Petey's head and bounce off then back onto the trampoline to bounce back up towards the ceiling. The pattern repeats then it ends because everyone missed and gave 387 damage to Petey Pirahna. Suddenly, there was a large explosion coming from Petey Pirahna and he disappears.

"Yee-haw! That'll teach ya not mess with us." Applejack said.

"It's like an old saying: Mess with the bull and you get the horns!" Rainbow Dash added.

"Well I say he got what he deserved!" Rarity said agreeing with her friends.

[Boss Battle: Over]

Right now, Petey Pirahna is shaking and flashing in different colors then there was a gigantic explosion and he disappeared. When he exploded, there were two thing that dropped on the ground which was Kylie Koopa's shell and another cobalt star shard.

"Alright, another one of those star thingies." Applejack said before going over to pick it up.

"You got the third Cobalt Star shard!" The screen read.

Kylie Koopa comes out of her shell.

"Ow ow OW! I walloped my noggin but good. Hope my camera's not broken!" She thought before noticing the ponies. "Hey! It's my whisker girls! Did you KO that overgrown veggie? Good deal!"

"Yeah, we took care of it! Ponyville style!" Rainbow Dash replied.

"When that clown swallowed me down, I thought it was the big sleep, for sure! So give, ladies: did the big lug have that shard?"

"Eeyup!" Applejack nodded.

"Why, it's the bee's knees! Gaze at those sparkles long enough and you feel..." Kylie Koopa paused and looks closely at the shard. "YOIKS! In-Inside that crystal... Someone was looking back at me, ladies!

"Wait, what are you talking about?" Rainbow Dash asked.

Kylie paused for a second before continuing. "Ha... Aha ha ha ha ha! I must be off my trolley... I need a quick snoozer."

"That didn't answer my question." Rainbow Dash grumbled.

"Anyway, what gives, whiskers? What're you gonna do when you get all those baubles together? You're quite the motley crew... but you make for GOLD copy, no doubt about that! Good as you ponies are, though, THIS dame's got a lead that'll top anything you've EVER done!"

"What lead could she possibly have?" Rarity asked Rainbow Dash who shrugged not knowing.

Kylie suddenly pulls out a a large lavender key which surprised the trio. "That's right! I glommed onto a little Shroob property when the alien boneheads grabbed me! Ain't THAT a thing of beauty? I think it's a key to something inside the Shroob mother ship. Who knows what this beauty can do in the right keyhole? It's a mystery all right... But you can bet your last mushroom it'll be a scoop to stop the presses, girls!"

"If you don't mind me asking, did you also see Princess Celestia by any chance?" Applejack asked her.

"Huh? You wanna know if I saw Princess Celestia in that Piranha Plant's belly?"

"That's right."

"Believe it ladies! Princess Celestia was in there!"

"Wait wait wait!" Rainbow Dash interrupted. "What do you mean was in there?"

"Well, when I got ate, she got spit out lickety-split!"

"So we defeated a giant plant and find out she's not there? What a waste of time!" Rarity said as Kylie snapped a few more photos.

"I was all set for an exclusive interview, too! Raspberries! I'm pretty sure she's still locked up in the caves somewheres. I suggest you ponies keep your peepers peeled for her! As for me, I'm gonna try and put that key to good use!" Kylie then goes in her shell. "Which means it's time for me to say so long! Good luck, whiskers!" She spins away from the group before coming back for a split second. "Oh yeah! I owe ya one!" Now she leaves this time for real.

Shortly after she left, the six head over to that crack in the wall. The fillies hop off their future selves and Filly Applejack uses the hammer to hit that spot on the wall to open a passage for all six of them to access. The next room they went into had to cage doors. The one on the left was closed but the close one on the right had a button on the opposite side. The fillies got into tower formation and drilled underground pass the door and saw the red button, but when they were about to hit it...

"Twilight?" A familiar voice called out. "Could... Could it be? Is that you, Twilight?"

"Could that be..." Applejack began.

"Sounds like her." Rainbow Dash assumed.

"Twilight! Help! TWILIGHTTT! EEEEEEEEK!"

"What horrible things could they be doing to Princess Celestia?" Rarity asked dramatically.

"No telling what it may be. Hit the button younger me, so we can get in there!" Applejack told her past self.

Filly Applejack did so and the other door raised up so they can now go in the room. Rainbow Dash hits the pipe block and got the fillies out of that area and back with them. When they enter the next room, there right in front of them was none other than Princess Celestia herself facing away from them.

"She's here!" Rainbow Dash said.

"Ah can't believe it!" Applejack added.

"I say we get her back home so the others will know that she's alright." Rarity suggested.

However when their past selves got down and faced the princess themselves, they were a little confused. When the princess turn around towards the girls, the three of them nearly panicked because Princess Celestia has a giant purple mushroom sitting directly on her face and prevented her from talking. The sun princess then fell to the ground unconscious along with Rarity who passed out after seeing that.

"W-W-What is that thing?" Applejack asked still shocked by the purple fungus.

"I don't know, but Twilight is gonna freak out when she sees this!" Rainbow Dash tells her.

"Well i wouldn't say freak out, but she'll be speechless. That's all I can say."

"We should probably get her back to her castle. That is until Rarity regains her consciousness."

To be continued...

This chapter ended up being pretty quick to do and it seems like Princess Celestia has been found along with the third cobalt star shard. How do you think the others will react to a shroob mushroom growing on Princess Celestia's face? Find out when they return to the present on the next chapter, again.
