“Ohmigoshohmigoshohmigosh!” screamed Rainbow as she was seeing her idol for the first time. “Um…hi,” said Daring in a uneasy voice. “You‘re Daring Do! The greatest explorer of Equestria! I‘m Rainbow Dash, you‘re biggest fan,” said Rainbow with a smile. “Well thank you Ms. Dash. It’s nice to meet a young filly like you,” said Daring with a smile. “I’m famous too. I’m the faster flyer in all of Ponyville. Speaking of Ponyville, what you going to do there?” said Rainbow in a soft voice. Black Song steps in and said; “Ms. Do is going to the Ponyville for a important business, Ms. Dash.” “Business? Oh, ok. What kind of business?” said Rainbow. “Something that require Ms. Do’s legendary skills, Ms. Dash,” said Black in a calm voice. “Wow! Must be very important. Anyways, I’m taking the train back to Ponyville to save my energy you my friends. Twilight and the other of my friends are going on some royal business with Princesses Celestia, Cadence & Luna,” said Rainbow while rubbing her rainbow-colored mane. “Really? Must be something big if it involves the royal sisters,” said Daring with concern in her voice. “Yes…the last time the royal sisters got involved was during the Royal Wedding between Princess Cadence and Shining Armor, which flushed out Queen Chrysalis,” said Black. “Queen Chrysalis? Who’s that?” said Daring. “She’s the Queen of the Changelings who tried to marry Shining Armor by being Cadence in disguise while the real Cadence was locked up. Thankfully, Twilight found out that it was Chrysalis in disguise and with the help of Cadence & Shining Armor’s love, we manage to beat her and her wannabe doppelgangers. Seriously, there’s only room for one Rainbow Dash and that’s me,” said Rainbow in a proud voice. “Wait a minute…how did Twilight knows that Cadence is a fake, Ms. Dash?” said Daring. “That’s easy, Daring. Cadence was Twilight’s foalsitter when Twilight was a foal. She told us that Cadence treated Twilight as her little sister,” said Rainbow. “Cadence must be very caring and loving. I’m happy that she found somepony like Shining Armor to love her,” said Black with a smile.
Intercom: “Attention, fillies and gentle colts, we’ve arrived in Ponyville. Please gather your luggage, personal belongings and other items while you depart from the train. Thank you for riding Equestria Railways and have a wonderful day.
Rainbow Dash, Daring Do, and Black Song started to get off the train. Just when Daring lay a hoof off the train, Bon Bon looks up and screams, “Oh Celestia! It‘s Daring Do!” Every pony looks at her and all Daring can say was; “Oh, buck me” A mass mob was surrounding Daring Do, asking her question after question and asking for her autographs. “I feel sorry for her, Ms. Dash,” said Black while shaking his head. “Normally I would get mad for somepony trying to steal my thunder like the Mysterious Mare-Do-Well, but I’m going to let it slide for once,” said Rainbow with a chuckle. While Daring is busy answering questions and signing autographs, Applejack was coming up to Rainbow and see a bunch of ponies surrounding the train. “Howdy, Dashie. Mind telling me what the hay is going on here?” said Applejack while tilting her head. “AJ! Wicked timing! One of the most awesomely awesome pony is here in Ponyville,” said Rainbow while flying around in circles. “Really? And who might that be? Couldn’t be mah famous rodeo star from Appleoosa,” said Applejack while seeing Rainbow flying in circles. 1 hour later, all the ponies went off to their daily lives, leaving Daring to get some fresh air. Applejack walks over to her and said; “Howdy, sugarcube.” Daring looks up to Applejack and said; “Oh, hello. May I ask who you are?” “Ah’m Applejack, hard working pony in Sweet Apple Acres. Ah see you’re friends with Dashie,” said Applejack with a bow. “Very nice to meet you, Applejack. I’m Daring Do, the legendary explorer of Equestria,” said Daring in a proud voice. “Oh mah stars! A real living legend. Ah’m happier than a pig rolling in a mud bath on the 4th of July,” said Applejack while hopping for joy. “Um…not sure what that means, but thanks,” said Daring while tipping her hat towards Applejack. “Well, Ah love to stick around and chat with ya some more, surgarcube, but Ah’ve got to head back to the farm to get the stuff ready for Celestia. I’ll see ya’ll later,” Applejack as she bows and heads off back to the farm. Rainbow and Black walks up to Daring. “AJ’s the coolest friend to have, even though we’re very competitive,” said Rainbow with a smile. “I can see why, Ms. Dash,” said Daring with a smile. “Please don’t call me Ms. Dash, Daring. It’s so uncool. Call me Rainbow or Dashie,” said Rainbow as she sighs softly. “Oh, sorry Dashie,” said Daring while smiling. “We need to get going, Ms. Do,” said Black in a calm voice. “That’s right, Mr. Song. Dashie, we have to go,” said Daring. “It’s cool, Daring. I need to practice my Sonic Rainboom anyway. See you two later,” said Rainbow as she flies away to Cloudsdale. With that out of the way, Daring and Black heads to Ponyville Museum. A few minutes later, they arrived at Ponyville Museum. “Welcome to Ponyville Museum. Here, we’ve study artifacts about our past and, with the help of your donations, we’re learning more of our past, Ms. Do,” said Black with a smile. “I’m happy to help you guys, Mr. Song,” said Daring with a grin. They head inside the museum and walked into Black’s office. Inside, his office is pretty clean for a researcher. Books stacked up nicely, files neatly in the cabinets, and desk cleaned. “Please take a seat Ms. Do. I‘ll get the book about the item you need to get,” said Black as he goes to his bookshelves to look for the book he need. Daring sits in the chair and waits for Black to get the book. A few feeble attempts, he got the book he need and brings it to. He open the book and shows her a picture of a beautiful emerald. “Gallopin‘ golly, what is that beautiful treasure?” said Daring while looking at the emerald. “It’s the Blood Jade Emerald, Ms. Do,” said Black. “So, what’s the info on this beauty?” said Daring who is always looking for a challenge. Black takes a deep breath and starts reading from the book:
“The Blood Jade Emerald is consider to be the most powerful emerald in the world. It earns numerous nicknames like ‘Legendary Emerald‘, ‘Gem of Glory‘, and the infamous ‘Heart of Darkness‘. The Shiyakubi Tribe, a local tribe in Egypt, are a tribe of young pony warriors guarding the emerald with their lives. Their rival tribe, the Koryoshiko Tribe, consist of cat warriors who want the emerald for themselves. Many battles were fought for the emerald, many lives were lost, blood have been shed, weapons broken, all for the emerald. The battle for the emerald lasted many days until the fateful day that marked the climaxed blow. Leaders from both tribes decided to fight for the final time to see which tribe will be the owner of the emerald. Chief Star Heart of Shiyakubi was going up against Chief Krios of Koryoshiko. The two of them fought fiercely, but Chief Krios was victory. When Chief Krios grabbed the emerald, it starts glowing brightly and his eyes become blood red. Soon after that, Krios was making slaves of the suriving members of the Shiyakubi Tribe while making his tribe stronger. But as the days gone by, the more power hungry he becomes. Members in his tribe thinking that the emerald is making him power crazy and they now know the reason why the Shiyakubi tribe was guarding it. So, a rogue group of ponies and cat warriors staged a coup to take the emerald away from Krios. Krios fought them away, due to the emerald‘s powers and invincibility. It took many tries but they manages to get the emerald away from him and takes it far away from their tribe. They learned that whoever obtain the emerald, they be under it‘s evil control making them taking over the world and become power hungry. To make sure that it wont fall in the wrong hands again, the emerald is hidden in deepest of Egypt. Be for warned for if anyone with a black heart obtain the emerald, only chaos and darkness will befall not only on Egypt, nor Equestria but the entire world.”
Daring was surprised after hearing that story. “Wow that’s some powerful stuff. So, you mean to tell me that the emerald causes all that, Mr. Song?” said Daring while rubbing her head. “Yes, Ms. Do. We want to know what makes the emerald that powerful to cause these tribes to kill each other. Don’t worry, we’ll pay you 1 million bits from my employer,” said Black. Daring was shocked after hearing that. “Holy Celestia! I‘ll do it!” said Daring with a huge smile on her face. “Prefect! I’m happy that you’ll do it. I’ll have to do some of the paperwork, so I’ll see you when you get back from Egypt. Meet with Celestia to be on her detail. Until then I bid you farewell, Ms. Do,” said Black as he starts working on some paperwork. Daring bows at her and heads out of his office. Before she leaves out of the museum, she saw a display case of 6 rare jewels. She looks at the plaque and see that it was donated by Kira Chi. “Kira Chi? Who’s she? I’ve never heard of her before. I’ll worry about that later,” said Daring as she heads out of the museum. Once she’s outside, she thinks for a bit. “Hmm…I want to meet Celestia and get on her detail so I can go to Egypt, but I need to stop by at my hometown first before I can do that,” said Daring. Jumping into the sky, Daring flies to her hometown to see if anything change.
