The rescue

Nyx, Scootaloo, and Watcher quickly rushed towards the Ancient Temple, Nyx carrying the Burning Soul in her magic

"So, how should we take on this challenge, Watcher?" Asked Nyx

I think that you should try to distract Rainbow Dash while Scootaloo and I go destroy the crystals

"Are you sure that it's the best idea?" Asked Scootaloo

Yes, I'm sure Replied Watcher, Nyx is better at tricking ponies than you are, Scootaloo

"Alright." Replied Scootaloo, "I'll do it."

"And I'll distract Dash." Said Nyx

Good. Now let's do this

Nyx separated from Scootaloo and Watcher and went to go find Dash while Scootaloo and Watcher hid in a bush by the entrance to the Temple.

Nyx found Dash at a pond right in front of the Ancient Temple. She walked up to her and began distracting her

"Hey, miss. There's something that I've been wondering last time I was here, but was unable to come back to ask."

"What is it, filly."

"Do you know where the Tree of Harmony is. I'm doing a school project on it, but I can't find it."

"Sure, I know where it is. Follow me. Woodchip, Leafy branch, come with us."

While the four of them were walking away from the Ancient Temple, Scootaloo and Watcher quietly headed towards the entrance to the Ancient Temple.

The two of them walked through the halls of the Temple, carefully avoiding any of the guards patrolling the halls

"So, what exactly do we do when we get to the crystals?" Asked Scootaloo

I'll handle that bit. You can stand guard to make sure that nocreature comes back

"Okay." Replied Scootaloo

The duo soon found the center of the temple, with the crystals hovering there

I simply need to destroy all of these crystals Said Watcher. He moved to the first crystal and sent it hurling at the floor. Once it reached the floor, it cracked and broke into several pieces.

Watcher did this with all of the crystals, knowing that it would draw back Dash.

"Here's the Tree of Harmony." Said Dash, showing Nyx the tree.

"Wow, it's so cool looking." Said Nyx

"Now you can gather whatev--, the crystals." Exclaimed Dash. "We've got to hurry back."

Dash and the Timberwolves hurried back to the Ancient Temple, Nyx following not very far behind.

Back at the temple, Watcher just finished destroying the last of the crystals. Th bubble filled with magic soon formed from the remains of the crystals.

"Now what do we do, Watcher?" Asked Scootaloo

Now we simply use the Burning Soul on it. Do you have the Burning Soul?

"Um, no. Nyx was the one who was carrying it."

You have got to be kidding me. Said Watcher, Not that it matters, as I can teleport the Burning Soul to us

Watcher used his magic to teleport the Burning Soul to them. He took it and fired a beam at the bubble.

The bubble began to grow larger. Instead of popping all at once, it began to slowly fade away little by little.

The four had just gotten to the entrance of the Temple when Dash fell unconscious. The Timberwolves that were with Dash all ran away.

"Rainbow dash." Exclaimed Nyx. But Rainbow wasn't moving.

Scootaloo and Watcher came out of the temple as a large sphere was slowly beginning to surround it. When the sphere had fully surrounded the temple, it disappeared.

The Ancient Temple had been teleported back to The Other.

"Come on, Rainbow. Wake up."

"Ugh. What happened?" Said Rainbow dash, slowly regaining consciousness.

"Rainbow Dash!" Exclaimed Scootaloo, "You're okay."

"Scootaloo, you just saw me yesterday."

"Actually, you were in this forest for almost 2 weeks."

"T-two weeks?! Is that a joke?" Asked Rainbow

I wish that it was, Rainbow dash. But Nyx is right

"Woah, who said that." Exclaimed Rainbow, looking around

"That was Watcher." Said Nyx, "He helped us rescue you from that Ancient Temple. It had taken all of your memories and replaced them with an entire set of new memories."

"And, you three saved me from that?" Asked Rainbow. He then hugged Scootaloo and Nyx. "Thank you. Scootaloo and Nyx. Now we had better get back to Ponyville. I'm sure that Twilight, Pinkie, Rarity, Applejack and Fluttershy are worried about me."

"All of Ponyville is." Said Scootaloo, "We've all been wondering where you've been. But I was the first one to actually do something about it."

"Thank you Scootaloo, for not giving up on me. Now come on, I'm sure that Pinkie is going to throw a party to celebrate my return after 2 weeks."

"You should join us, Watcher. I'm sure that you'll love Pinkie's parties."

I suppose it wouldn't hurt. But first.

Watcher used his power to form a pony body for himself so that he wouldn't be mistaken for a ghost. How do I look? He asked. His pony body had a gray coat and a pale white mane and tail

"You look like a real pony, Watcher."

Now let's join Rainbow dash and Scootaloo

Watcher and Nyx walked up to Rainbow and Scootaloo. They got startled at Watcher's new appearance

Don't worry. It's Watcher. I gave myself a pony body

The 4 walked into Ponyville, where the first pony to see them was Pinkie. She immediately rushed up to them when she saw Rainbow dash.

"Oh my Celestia. Rainbow dash, where were you?" Said Pinkie

"I was in the Everfree forest. I seemed to have lost all my memories because of some Ancient Temple. But then these three worked together to save me from it."

"Yep, we did." Said Nyx. "Though I wouldn't have been able to do it without help from Watcher."

She is right, Pinkie pie. I assisted her and Scootaloo in freeing Rainbow Dash

"Ooh. I'll have to plan a double party. I have to go." And Pinkie rushed off to plan the party, which only took a half hour for her to set up

The party lasted for several hours. All of Ponyville was there to welcome Rainbow back to Ponyville and meet Watcher. But soon, Watcher had to leave to go back to Mt Danger Peak.

Everypony went back home not long after Watcher left. Scootaloo stayed at Rainbow's house in order to catch up after the two weeks, and Nyx went back to her mother's castle with her mom, proud of herself for completing her first case as an official Detective.
