The Main Six: Rarity, Applejack, Pinkie Pie, Fluttershy, Rainbow Dash, and Twilight Sparkle, are exploring a seemingly abandoned Changling hive in search for a magenta liquid. Twilight had read about Changling Venom and had wanted to study it, so she brought her friends to an "abandoned" hive to find this venom. Twilight: "It should be here." Fluttershy: "Twilight, are you sure the hive is abandoned?" Applejack: "Don't worry 'bout that none, sugarcube. Twilight's got it all under control." Rarity: "I wish it weren't so dirty." Pinkie Pie: "Come on Rarity, this'll be fun!" Rainbow Dash didn't say anything, she was looking around when she noticed a figure in the shadows.
