Sorry I to so long. I couldn't work this chapter out and I took some breaks.
In a few moment, Rainbow Dash, Pinkie Pie and Rarity fell out of the portal, as it close up after them. They have transported in to a spooky forest.
"Oh my," mutter Rarity, "where apart of Equestia are we? And do I get dirt on my?!"
"That was fun!" whaled Pinkie, "Let's do that again!"
"No Pinkie!" complied Rainbow, "We to find our friends and get pay back with those feline creeps."
Rarity notices something, "Where's Twilight?"
"I think she still back in the caves with Spike."
Just soon, Rainbow dash still feels the burning pain in her wing, it was been scratch by the goblin cats Black Claw.
"Oh dear Rainbow!" cried Rarity seeing Rainbow's wing, "Look what that monster did to your wing. We need to get some help."
"But where?" Rainbow Dash ask, "We just have no idea where we are."
"You know what I think." Said Pinkie Pie looking around with her head. "I think were in the Everfree forest."
They look around knowing the trees are familiar, then they realized this is the Everfree forest.
"But which portal did Applejack, Fluttershy and Ember went through?"
"I don't know," said Rarity, "but right now we need to mend the wing of yours. Is it still hurt?"
She poke Rainbow's wing to see.
"Ow!" Rainbow cried, "Yes and it feel so burning."
"Well now were in the Everfree forest," Pinkie suggested, "there's one pony we know who live around here."
"You mean Zecora, the zebra?"
"Bingo! Let's go see her then she help us out and help with your wing, Rainbow Dash."
The three ponies hurry to find Zecora place. Rainbow Dash couldn't fly with her bad wing, but she do enough to run with her hoofs.
They finally found Zecora's hut, when Rarity knock on the door.
"Well hello my friends," greeting Zecora the zebra as she open the door, seeing Rarity, Pinkie Pie and Rainbow dash, "what brings you here." Then she notice Rainbow dash's wing, "Oh my Rainbow dash, what happen to you wing?"
"That's why we're here," urged Rarity, "please let us in."
They hurry inside the hut and Zecora quickly look in to the scratch to Rainbow's wing. She ask Pinkie to get some healing herbs from the shelf and Rarity went to get the bandagers.
"Now be still Rainbow dash," said Zecora with a cloth that she dump it with the herbs, "this might sting."
"Don't worry about me," Rainbow dash feeling a bit clam, "I am not afraid of any...OW!"
Rainbow's eyes are screaming with tears as Zecora put the dump cloth on her wing.
"I did told you, but it will heal faster." Then she ask, "But what kind of creature had did this to you?"
"It was one of those meaning goblin cats!" mooned Pinkie Pie, the Rarity explain how it happen.
"That is one dreadful news I ever heard." Zecora wrapping Rainbow's wing with the bandagers. "And I never heard of goblin cats before."
"Our new friend Ember did, before she disappeared with Applejack and Fluttershy. Now we have no idea where are!"
Then Pinkie started crying, as a hose of tears pouring out of her eyes. Zecora's hut will be flooded very soon.
"But for what we know," reminded Rarity, "those horrible beast are trying to find this golden heart."
"The what?" ask Zecora.
"The golden heart," Rainbow Dash explain, "It was some sort of object that those cat creeps are trying to find and they say it had some great powers."
"And that book they have stolen may have the secret about the thing." added Rarity then she remember something, "Oh no, Ember has got the other half of the book and those monsters will be hunting her, Applejack and Fluttershy to get it back."
"Then we better find them before those creeps do. And I like to get even with those jerks"
"Wait a minute!" whale Pinkie Pie with a thought, "If Twilight didn't get in to one of the portals. Perhaps she still at Canterlot or if she'll come back to her library trying to find us."
"If she will."
"Then we better get back to her," suggest Rarity, "right now."
Rainbow dash thanks Zecora for her wing. Then the three ponies hurry back to Ponyville to Twilight's library.
As for Applejack, Fluttershy and Ember who got the other half of the book. They were transported not into the Everfree forest, but into a different place.
"Everypony O.K?" Applejack wonder.
"I think so." replied Ember.
"But…where are we?" ask Fluttershy feeling afraid.
As the three ponies looked around them and seeing that that not in the caves, but in a forest. Not the Everfree forest, but in a different forest.
It was very peaceful, with big trees everyway and a few birds singing.
It didn't take long for Fluttershy to forget her fears, as she admired the suit with the flowers to sniff.
"Oh my this is lovely." She said.
"I don't way we are." Said Applejack, "But I'm glad we didn't sent to something terrible."
"I feel the same way," Ember agreed, but she feel like she know this forest from someway. But when she notices the other half of the book that she pulled off, then she remember, "But how do we get back to Canterlot?"
Applejack and Fluttershy realized it.
"Oh tarnation," whale Applejack, "I forget."
"What should we do?" Fluttershy began to worry.
"Well, we do have one half of the book and I guess the goblin cats got the other half." Ember said looking at the toned book, "I think we should find a save place, so we should take a look of it."
"But why?"
"We do learn that those goblin cats are after this golden heart. If we can learn about it, we might find out what's going on."
"That a good plan sugar cube." Applejack agreed, "And we should hold the other half of the book, I had a feeling those beast will try to get it."
Think of the goblin cats makes Fluttershy shiver, she doesn't like the goblin cats already and she seen that they were so mean.
As the three ponies wonder around the strange forest, Applejack came with a thought.
"You said you learn about the goblin cats." she said to Ember, "Do you know how to beat them. You see how fast they are."
"Well I learn that the goblin cats are dark like creatures." Ember giving the to ponies some details, "They don't like bright lights. They can't stand water and the one thing they really can't stand, is music."
"They hate music?" wonder Fluttershy.
"They do, even singing. That all I know."
"Why didn't you told us that before?" ask Applejack.
"I didn't know they were ones who got in the Archive back in Canterlot and we were so desperate to get the book back that…I lost my head. I sorry."
"Oh, don't feel bad." Said Fluttershy, "We've done like that before."
"The next time we meet those goblin cats," Applejack added and putting her hoof around Ember, "We'll know how to dale with them."
That makes Ember a wee bit better.
"Thank you," she said, "but now let's find some way to rest and it's a good thing I learn some survival costs."
Applejack does camping before and Fluttershy would mind.
The three ponies found a good spot to camp, Fluttershy and Ember put together a shelter, while Applejack went to get some fire wood. Need to find some food, scene they don't have any.
When they are done, Ember was curious about the book, even when its tone in half. She also thought about the golden heart and there's something about that thing, which she must know as she open it and look in to it.
She search through a few pages, until she found it.
"There it is," she said getting Applejack and Fluttershy attention, "the legend of the golden heart."
"So what some special about it?" Applejack wonder as she lay down beside her.
"And do those monster are after it?" Fluttershy added as she came the other of Ember.
Then Ember began, "The golden heart is a rare pure gold heart shape relic, which had the power to changes and give life to others within their hearts. It can heal those with sorrow and deep pain. It will reach to those that need to learn how to believe in life and understand the way of harmony.
"It can transform all cold stone in to pure gold and make all feeling and life grow to see the light of goodness."
"Amazing." Fluttershy with great moment.
"I bet that thing is gust like the element of harmony." Said Applejack.
Then Ember continued, "The golden heart was made after the founding of Equestria very long age, the great ponies fear of any pony or creature will upon them with hatred and deep sorrows which will bring destruction to the land.
"That is when one unicorn with great magic, who creature the golden heart to heal and protect all other. And in to the heart she pour her kindness, her caring, her goodness and to keep the ways of harmony well. With that it will banish all evil souls and put an end to every suffering.
"Since then after a few years, the golden heart was now hiding away some in the land, where it is now lost and forgotten for centuries.
"But there is a legend," Ember continued, "the golden heart can be awaken again. But only to the one pony who can be connected to it and sure with its knowledge, willpower and emotion. It will choose its new keeper and be one with its great powers of goodness."
"But why do those villains wanted it?" Applejack ask, "It was made for the power of goodness."
"You do suppose they plan to reverse it?" Fluttershy wonder, "And if they do they will use it for their own bad ways."
That hit Ember's and Applejack's heads, that's what the goblin cats are searching for it. But they were search it for their mistress as the ponies heard them talking.
"If they get to the golden heart and use it in the wrong way, they will make all of Equestria with cold and painful hearts." said Ember working out, "Which will bring doom to Equestria."
"Well if those goblin cats are trying to get their claws on the golden heart." Applejack suggest, "I think need to find it first before they do."
"But we need to get back to the others first." said Fluttershy. "Oh, if only Twilight was here, she'll know when to begin."
Applejack and Ember were worried as much as Fluttershy.
"Well, I think we better stay put." Ember said, "Twilight had already told Celestia of what happen and I bet she'll sent somepony find us."
Applejack agreed with Ember and suggested, "O.K, we'll rest here for tonight, hold on to the book and see what we'll do tomorrow."
Ember agreed with Applejack's plan, Fluttershy was close to be already for that and she hope the goblin cats won't show up.
