Story[]
(Rainbow Dash comes to Twilight Sparkle in a panic, revealing that her wings are missing.)
Rainbow Dash: T-T-Twilight! You gotta help me! M-my wings... are GONE! I dunno how it happened; I just woke up and-- AUGH! What's a pegasus pony without wings?!
Twilight Sparkle: WHOA?! I-I mean, um, l-let's just calm down! There must be a logical explanation for this! I'll use a Traumalocation spell -- it should be able to tell us where your wings are...
Twilight Sparkle: Huh. That's weird... This SAYS your wings are in the forest, but also... that the forest has turned into some kind of labyrinth?! I think there's bigger, weirder magic at work here...
Quest #1: The Mysterious Maze[]
| Quest #1: The Mysterious Maze | |||

| Ending text | |||
| "... Huh. This forest DOES look way more like a huge magical maze than I remember... Then again, this is Ponyville. I've seen weirder!" | |||
Rainbow Dash: ... Welp. You were right about the whole "magic forest maze" thing, Twilight... This is just WEIRD. Are my wings really supposed to be in here somewhere?
Twilight Sparkle: Yep! The Traumalocation spell says they're somewhere nearby, but there's a lot of magical interference for some reason... We may have to find them by hoof.
Quest #2: A Mysterious Chest...?[]

| "Yeah. Those... definitely aren't Rainbow Dash's wings. I don't know what I expected...?" | |||
Rainbow Dash: WHAT. Why aren't my wings in here?! And... what IS in here, actually? I'm confused.
Twilight Sparkle: Me too... I think this is a spell that lets us summon other ponies into the maze to help us out...? It could be useful if we run into trouble, or need someone to ask for directions...
Quest #4: A Mysterious Minotaur![]
| Quest #4: A Mysterious Minotaur! | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| "Huh. Well, I'm not always super into asking for directions... but we may not even need a spell for that. We could just ask that minotaur guy over there! (Looks like Iron Will with a dye job...)" | Task/Skip | Task requirement | Rewards |

Rainbow Dash: Hey, you! With the horns! Have you seen an EXTREMELY awesome pair of wings anywhere in this maze, or--
Minotaurocellus: GRAAH! I'm a minotaur! And minotaurs guard labyrinths!!!
Twilight Sparkle: Uh... Yes... we're aware. And it's a fascinating aspect of your culture, really, but if you don't mind--

Minotaurocellus: Grah hah hah! I have defeated you! Now... FIGHT ME AGAIN!!! (This dialogue will show up if you didn't defeat him or have enough team power.)
Minotaurocellus: Gruhhh... I am defeated...
Twilight Sparkle: Uh... Yes? I guess you are... Does that make you any more likely to tell us where my friend's missing wings are, or--?
Minotaurocellus: Three unicorns have stolen the wings by magic! And they plan to melt them down into a potion! Which they will drink! In a RITUAL! To become ALICORNS!! Minotaur... AWAAAAAY!!!
Twilight Sparkle: Um. Bye...? Wow. That... doesn't sound good, does it, Rainbow D--
Rainbow Dash: NOPE. We gotta find those unicorns, beat 'em, and get my wings back before they finish the ritual! I can't believe I'm saying this, but... WE GOTTA ASK FOR DIRECTIONS!!!
Pony Squad[]
Twilight Sparkle: Ponies can only win fights so many times before they need a rest.
Twilight Sparkle: Each time a pony WINS a battle, this number decreases.
Twilight Sparkle: When the number hits zero, the pony will leave your Squad...
Twilight Sparkle: ...unless you upgrade them! Then, they can fight for you as many times as you want!
Twilight Sparkle: PLUS, upgraded ponies will appear in your Ponyville! Neat, huh?
Twilight Sparkle: Let's use your new Upgrade Token to upgrade a pony!
Twilight Sparkle: Amazing! It looks like you know everything there is to know about Pony Squads... I'm impressed!

| "This IS really convenient! Like... very suspiciously convenient. But still!" | |||
(before completing this quest)
Twilight Sparkle: Okay: We can hire helper guide-ponies at shops like this, or summon them by opening chests... all of which will help if we run into any more minotaurs! I think I'm starting to get it...
Rainbow Dash: Ugh... Well, I'm not. Don't get me wrong; I'm pretty amazing at adventures, but this one has WAY too many fiddly little magical details...
Twilight Sparkle: Heh... Yeah, I guess it does. Don't worry, though; I've been taking notes this whole time -- so if you ever need a refresher on how things work here, you can take a look whenever you want!
(after completing this quest)
Rainbow Dash: Okay, that WAS convenient... but what if it isn't convenient ENOUGH? How are we supposed to afford all those guide-ponies, Twilight? I'm not made of Bits... I'm not even made of wings!

(after completing this quest)
Twilight Sparkle: I don't think it's just this windmill, Rainbow Dash... I climbed up to the top to get a better view, and I saw a bunch of other shops just like it!
Twilight Sparkle: It's like... something made copies of the stores we had in Ponyville. So that we could visit them... and get coins, for some reason?
Twilight Sparkle: OH. So we can hire helper guide-ponies at those agencies! Or summon them by opening chests... all of which will help if we run into any more minotaurs! I think I'm starting to get it...
Rainbow Dash: Ugh... Well, I'm not. Don't get me wrong; I'm pretty amazing at adventures, but this one has WAY too many fiddly little magical details...

Twilight Sparkle: Heehee... Thanks! Now, what do you say we go beat those three unicorns, stop that ritual, and get your wings back?

Minotaurocellus: Okay, FINE. Have it your way! But if you run into a whole lot of tougher creatures than me, don't say I didn't warn ya!
(When confronting Decepticolt.)
Twilight Sparkle: HEY! You're one of the unicorns who took my friend's wings, aren't you? I need you to know just how FORBIDDEN the magic you're using is...!
Decepticolt: Forbidden? Who cares! You may be a princess, but you can't tell ME what to do. If you've got a problem, why don't you take it up with the freakish chaos beast instead of me?
Decepticolt: Y'know, the beast who taught us this AMAZING spell, and turned the woods into this crazy maze? ... I mean, it's not like we ASKED for the maze part -- but whatever; it's a nice touch.
Twilight Sparkle: "Freakish chaos beast"...? I know Discord wouldn't do this, but that only leaves... COSMOS?! But I thought we all trapped her on the moon! HOW DID SHE GET OFF THE MOON, RAINBOW DASH?!

Twilight Sparkle: Because she's terrible, that's why! And if you're going to learn ONE lesson about how to handle extradimensional magical beings, I hope that's it! Let's go, Rainbow Dash.
Rainbow Dash: Yeah... Uh, are we gonna have to fight Cosmos later, though? I mean, I can definitely DO that -- but I should probably start psyching myself up early!

Zappityhoof: It's not fair that ponies like you get to hog all the poweor and glory! What's the harm in sacrificing ONE pair of pegasus wings?

Twilight Sparkle: I-it's okay, Rainbow Dash! I promise! You can drink the potion, and your wings will grow back right away! I'll just... cross this suspiciously peaceful forest meadow...
Restored Cosmos: AHAHAHAHAHAAA! THERE you are! Although I thought I'd get the pegasus ALONE by stealing what she loves most -- I guess today I'll be defeating two ponies with one stone!

Rainbow Dash: And STAY OUT, ya creep! Ahhh, my precious li'l wingies -- how I missed you! I finally feel like myself again... and I gotta thank you for sticking by my side, Twi'!
Twilight Sparkle: What are friends for, Dash? I'm happy you feel whole again, but... we need to get back to Ponyville and warn everyone that Cosmos is back! This could only be the beginning...
(When this limited-time story ended.)
Ocellus: Ooogh... Wh-what just happened? I had this weird dream that I met a strange, magical creature... who convinced me it'd be an amazingly great idea to guard a labyrinth...?
Twilight Sparkle: Good morning, Ocellus! Er... for better or worse, that's exactly what happened. Sorry we had to fight you earlier. I PROMISE it was for a really good cause!
Ocellus: Oh... well, that's okay, then! It's too bad I wasn't quite in my right mind... If anything like that happens again, I'd love to help!

Trivia[]
- Due to issues after launch, the event was pulled on May 24, 2021. An announcement was made to relaunch on a later date.
- On Quest #12: PRINCESS ZAPPITYHOOF, Rainbow Dash was supposed to be saying the intro, which Twilight Sparkle couldn’t have said, as she was not born with wings.
Bugs[]
- There was a glitch that crashed the app when tapping on the Community tab in this limited-time story. The Community tab was removed in the June 18, 2021 update.
- The first task was not able to bring you to the character/location to start the story without Maze Dungeon. This was later fixed in the June 18, 2021 update.
- Instead of showing wingless Rainbow Dash as the Quest Giver for the first Quest, It shows unicorn Twilight Sparkle instead.
