“Gosh, my head is kilin’ me.”
 
Applejack woke up upside-down in a disoriented heap. When she stood up she noticed her tail was matted down to the side of her leg with something sticky.
“For Peat’s sake...” she muttered to herself as she freed her tail.
When that was done she began to survey her surroundings to get an idea of where she was.
 
She instantly noticed how warm and humid it was. The ceiling was so low, that she could barely stand up straight. The walls were also strange. They were constantly dripping with some sticky substance, and they pulsed slightly to a faint, incessant rhythm.
 
There was scarcely any light. She could barely make out her surroundings, thanks to two faint light sources in the distance from either side of her.
 
“Well, this ain’t th’ moon; that’s for sure.” Applejack thought to herself. “I figure I just landed in some sort of cave, though it sure is th’ strangest cave I’ve ever seen.”
“Hi Applejack!” said an enthusiastic, high-pitched voice.
 
The earth pony jumped slightly at the abrupt noise.
 “...Pinkie? Where are you?” Applejack said while scanning the surrounding area.
 
“Sorry to interrupt your super, fantabulous, extra mega, special party for Luna, but you only have 5 hours of air left in your helmet. And if you run out of air, you’ll die. And that’ll make all us ponies down on Earth very, very, VERY sad. So be careful!”
 
Applejack then remembered the helmet pinkie put on her head. She also noticed thought the corner of her eye, a small speaker glued to the side, which must be where that message came from.
 
“Welp, since I ain’t on the moon I guess I won’t need this.” The orange earth pony said while taking off her helmet. When it was off she inhaled deeply, to fill her lungs with fresh air.
 
Then it hit her.
 
The smell of this ‘cave’ was unspeakable. The sour, sweet, and sweaty stench consumed her. It smelled like Big Mac’s room, right after he has his fillyfriend over or the fish market on an unusually hot day, but to an exponentially higher magnitude.
 
She couldn’t breath. Literally, she couldn’t breath. She fell onto the ground, with a wet squish. Her mouth was open, begging for fresh air that would never come. She then saw the helmet she discarded only a few moments ago. She quickly grabbed it, and placed it back on her head.
 
Sweet relief.
 
She hungrily gulped down the relatively fresh air. When she caught her breath, the only thought that passed through her mind was,
“I gotta get outta here.”
 
She remembered the two light sources on either side of her. Light meant sun and sun meant fresh air. She decided to go left, that light source seemed closer, and broke out into a steady trot.
 
She was going for about half an hour before she got close to the light source. After squeezing through a tight space she saw that it she wasn’t outside like she had hoped. She was in a large and spacious room. The walls and floor were made of the same squishy material as the tunnel she was in before. There were two thiner tunnels on either far side of the room, that she knew would be impossible to pass through. But it was not the room itself that earned Applejack’s attention, it was the creatures inside of it.
 
They looked like dragons, but they had no wings, well one did in place of arms. There was a blue one that stood on four legs, its back covered in spikes. There was a green one that had a triangular face with a jagged beak, it was the one that had two long wings in place of arms. There was a yellow one and a purple one too. Besides their color they looked the same;  they stood on all fours and had extremely long necks. Lastly there was a red one, whom applejack assumed was the leader, he was ferocious looking. He stood on two legs, his head was huge but he had long and pointy teeth to fill it. His tail had deadly looking spikes on the tips that matched the claws on his hands. The strangest thing off all was that they all were slightly transparent.
 
The creatures stood around a white blob that emanated a bright light. The blob was as big as her. It jiggled slightly every few moments, and when it did the red creature put it’s arm inside of it and moved something around Applejack didn't recognize.
 
Applejack didn’t know what was going on, but she knew that she didn’t want to be seen by those things. So, she silently backed up. She was about to squeeze back into the crevice she just escaped from when suddenly she began to furiously glow bright green.
 
The creatures stopped what they were doing, and looked up at the terrified earth pony. There was a flicker of a smile on Red’s face before he shouted, “Quickly! Capture it! Don’t let it escape!”
 
And they all charged forward.
