Twilight slowly opened her eyes "Where are we?" Twilight groaned. The others opened their eyes to see grass and blue sky with clouds.
"Did it work ?" asked Fluttershy.
"Aaww man, it didn't work," Rainbow Dash complained. "We're still in Equestria!".
"How are we going to catch the thief now?" said Rarity.
"Um girls, I don't think we're in Equestria anymore," said Applejack.
Applejack was right, The clouds had smiles, there were brown mushrooms with teeth and feet walking around, turtles that stood on two legs, and blocks with ?-marks everywhere.
"What is this place?" asked Fluttershy.
"We're in the mushroom kingdom!" said Pinkie Pie.
"How'd you know that ?" asked Applejack.
"Oh you know," Pinkie Pie replied with a giggle, which raised some strange and confused looks.
In the distance Twilight could see a small fortress.
"Wait," she said as she squinted.
She could see a what looked like a chameleon tail going in.
"There he is!" pointed Twilight.
"Then let's get him!" Rainbow Dash said before hitting a laiktu cloud.
"Hey watch where you're going!" the creature on the cloud said before floating away.
"Oh um, sorry?" Rainbow Dash said while rubbing her head.
"We need to be careful, we don't know what creatures could be in this world", Twilight said.
"I agree, we don't want to anger the locals," said Rarity
"We better getting going, we don't want that lizard causing anymore trouble," said Applejack.
"Well then let's a go!" Pinkie Pie said in an Italian accent and was wearing a mustache.
She then jumped ahead, with the others quickly following.
The ponies then continued through the strange land until they came to a huge walls made of blocks
"Oh my, how are why going to get over that?" asked Rarity.
On the other side of the walls some brown mushrooms with fangs were talking.
"These walls will keep those mustachioed freaks out" said the first one.
"Yeah, maybe Lord Bowser will give us a promotion," replied the other mushroom.
Back on the ponies side.
The ponies were still pondering how to get through the wall.
"Hey maybe I can jump it" said Pinkie Pie.
"Pinkie wait!" shouted Rainbow Dash.
As Pinkie Pie jumped forward she bonked her head on a invisible ?-block which made a big yellow mushroom pop up.
"Ow!" she said rubbing her head.
"Pinkie you need to be more careful," said Twilight.
"You could have gotten yourself hurt," added Applejack.
Then the mushroom fell on Applejack and made her grow giant.
"Hey whats going on!?" she said as she grew to a giant size. "WHOAAA!" she yelled.
"This is terrible!" said Twilight.
"Yeah I wanted to grow gigantic!" said Pinkie Pie.
"I don't think I like this, Whoa!" Applejack said as she toppled onto the walls.
"I thought those walls were unbreakable" said the Goomba, "Lets scram!"
The Goombas tried to run but the walls slammed them all the way to a kingdom inhabited by beans.
Thankfully Applejack had returned to normal size.
"Applejack!" they all said as the rushed to her side.
"Don't worry I'm fine," Applejack reassured, "Being giant is lot better then being tiny, I can tell y'all that,".
"How could a simple mushroom cause you to grow to such a gigantic proportion?" asked Twilight.
"I don't know, its crazier than a jackrabbit named Ricky," replied Applejack.
"At least you broke down the walls," said Rainbow Dash.
"Well I think I've had just about enough of this world," replied Rarity.
"Oh, I don't know if its that bad," said Fluttershy not noticing the boo making funny faces behind her, who disappeared when she looked.
"The sooner we get the thief the sooner we can leave," said Twilight.
"Well let's get going then!" said Rainbow Dash. This time she waited for the laktui to float by.
"Thank you miss," he waved as floated by.
Suddenly a hammer hit Rainbow Dash in the face.
"Ow what the, who threw that!" she shouted.
It was another turtle. But it had on a helmet and was throwing hammers.
"Just WHAT do you think your doing!" shouted Fluttershy.
"What?" said the Hammer Bro.
"Somepony could get hurt by one of those hammers!" Fluttershy was right by the hammer bro and ready to stare.
"I have half a mind to go tell your mother what you've been up to!" she scolded.
"Well um I...," he said.
"Now you apologize and stop causing so much trouble, AM I CLEAR!?" she was now using the stare.
" I'm sorry, I'm sorry!" the hammer bro wailed. "I'm getting out of here, these ponies are worse then those two plumbers!" he said as he darted off.
There was a minute of silence.
"Well then, lets keep moving," said Twilight.
"Hey where's Pinkie Pie ?" asked Fluttershy.
Pinkie was on a stair shaped pile of blocks bouncing a koopa shell and pulling off the infinite life trick.
"Pinkie come on!" said Rainbow Dash.
"Awww!" Pinkie Pie jumped off the shell and over to them.
The koopa had just stopped spinning.
"I knew I should have worked for the Count," said the koopa.
The ponies had finally reached the gates of the fortress.
"We've made it," said Twilight.
"Boy that's one big fort," said Applejack.
"Um are you sure he's in there?" asked Fluttershy.
"Maybe he used a magic flute to skip ahead," said Pinkie Pie.
"Okay someones making too many references!" shouted the chameleon from inside. "I'm suppose to be doing that!"
"Yeah I think he's in there", said Rainbow Dash.
"All right let's be ready for anything girls!" said Twilight.
"Right!" the others agreed.
The big blue metal doors slowly opened. The ponies went in.
After much exploring The main 6 had finally found the thief within the fortress-like castle.
"Come on, come on, work, Work!" the Chameleon said while banging the darkened gem on the floor.
He then noticed the 6 ponies were behind him.
"Yipe!" he screamed has he turned around. "Persistent bunch aren't you,".
"Give us back that crystal !" Twilight demanded.
"Sorry, but I think need it's powers a bit more than you do," the Thief replied.
"But why do you need it?" asked Fluttershy.
"None of your business!" the thief shouted.
"Then we'll just have to take it" said Rainbow Dash.
"Just go ahead and try!" he then snapped his fingers.
?
mysterious shape-shifting reptile
Then 6 green mushrooms landed on the main 6.
"AAHHH!" they screamed.
"Huh, nothing happened ?" asked Pinkie Pie.
"Why did you ?" but before Twilight could finish.
The lizard jumped on to the walls, then to the ceiling, and out of sight. Then three dark blue tongues came down and started attacking them.
They all screamed and scattered.
"Wait try grabbing one of the tongues", Twilight said.
"Okie doki", Pinkie said as she grabbed one of the tongues and pulled it. Unfortunately it revealed a blue bomb that had a white engraving that appeared to be the Chameleon giving a thumbs up while winking. Which then exploded and sent Pinkie Pie flying.
"Wheee !" she screamed as she flew by the others.
"Pinkie!" Twilight shouted.
"Don't worry she'll be fine". reassured Applejack.
"It is Pinkie Pie after all", said Rainbow Dash. After the girls failed many times at finding the chameleon, Rainbow grabbed the right tongue and pulled down the thief.
"Giiyah"! the creature said while being pulled down, then slammed down by the Pegasus.
Applejack then kicked the lizard many times.
"Ow, umf, gyow, woo!" he said after getting kicked into the wall repetitively.
After taking many blows, the thief jumped back onto the walls and out of sight and sent down the tongues again. The ponies tried to pull down the thief, but had failed.
The thief then jumped down , curled into a ball with his spike showing, then did a spin dash.
"Oh horse feathers," said Applejack. The thief then charged. He swerved around the room a few times but had failed to hit anypony. He then uncurled a as dizzy. Pinkie Pie then pulled out her party cannon.
"Surprise!" she then blast cake batter on the chameleon. It splattered on is face. He the licked it off. "Mmmm cookie cream," he said with a smile.
"Oops I mixed up the confetti and cake batter again", said Pinkie Pie.
"Hm, Oh well," the Thief said.
Rarity tried to blast the beast but he was too fast and dodged them all.
"Nice try pretty!" He taunted.
He then tried to jump to the wall but accidentally hit Fluttershy.
"Yyyaahhhhh!" they said has they went down.
"Umf pardon me," he said before he jumped off Fluttershy.
Rainbow Dash then charged him and sent him into a wall, which he got his head stuck in.
"Erf erf hope this doesn't come of again oomff!" he said well trying to unstuck himself.
Applejack then grabbed his tail, pulled him out, and swung him like a lasso. "Whoa whoa whoa!" he shouted as he spun.
Applejack then threw him at the wall.
"OOWW!" He grumbled after he hit then slid down.
"Nice one AJ!" said Rainbow Dash. Applejack smiled back.
The thief tried to get up and fire a a dark blue charge beam. but before he could Twilight shot one more magic blast.
"YAAAARRRHHH!" the thief screamed as he fell off screen, dropping there crystal where he once was.
"Yes we got him!" cheered Rainbow Dash.
"Yeehaa!" said Applejack.
"Now lets get the crystal and go home," said Pinkie Pie.
Then suddenly a blue tongue shot out from below and grabbed the crystal.
"Oh no!" said Twilight.
The thief reappeared and climbed up the wall to a higher floor.
"He's getting away!" shouted Rainbow Dash.
"But how are going to stop him!?" asked Rarity.
Thankfully a dour opened to revile stares
"That's how," said Twilight.
The ponies quickly ran up the stairs.
Meanwhile near the top of the fort.
The thief quickly climbed up the wall.
"I'll be save in the next chapter, uh I mean top of the fort!" the Thief said as he climbed up the wall. "You didn't hear that first part,".
