The Lightning Storm
Chapter1:
The Traveler
"Just another day with my animals" Fluttershy said to herself as she handed out food to her critters.
It had been a week since Twilight had returned from that other dimension to retrieve her crown from Sunset Shimmer and yet there was something lingering in the air, almost like storm clouds lingering before a storm.
As Fluttershy looked up at the sky, she saw that there wasn't a cloud in the sky, except Rainbow Dash's napping cloud, which is always floating over PonyVille in one place or another.
"I just have this feeling. Do any of you feel it?" Fluttershy asked the animals and a few nodded their heads.
"Okay. Maybe I should tell Twilight" Fluttershy said.
As she stood up, she heard a loud noise from the EverFree Forest and she hid behind a bush as she saw what made the noise.
It was a brick red Pegasus with a blue and yellow mane and tail that resembled lightning. The figure came stumbling out of the forest and as the figure reached the edge of the forest, it fell over onto its side and emmited a loud moan of pain.
Fluttershy completely forgot to be afraid and rushed over to the fallen pony and was shocked by his numerous wounds and gashes.
"Come on critters, we have to get him to the hospital! Angel, can you go get Twilight while we carry him towards town?" she asked her pet bunny.
He nodded and rushed away quickly towards the library.
As she and the animals lifted him up, he became conscious and had a look of pain upon his face.
"Please…don't move me. I need to be levitated" he said in a small and unsteady voice.
"I just sent for one. If you wouldn't mind, could you please tell me your name?" she asked.
"My name is Lightning Streak" he said.
"Okay. You need some rest Lightning. Just close your eyes and rest. My friend is coming now" Fluttershy said as she saw Twilight running up.
"Thank you" Lightning mumbled as he passed out again.
Twilight levitated him and teleported herself, Fluttershy, and Lightning to the hospital.
"Doctor, this stallion needs immediate help" Twilight said as they entered the emergency room.
The doctor quickly stood up and told her to set him on the bed while several nurses rushed in behind Twilight and Fluttershy.
"You and our friend will have to leave the room while they work, Princess" a nurse said as she led the two out of the room and into the waiting room.
"Fluttershy, who is that stallion?" Twilight asked as they sat down.
"I don't really know much. All I know is that his name is Lightning Streak and he wondered out of the forest near my house" Fluttershy replied.
"Celestia should be informed of this. I'll be back in a short while. I hope he'll be okay" Twilight said as she left.
"So do I. most ponies that go into the EverFree and come out with wounds like that don't normally survive" Fluttershy muttered as she left the hospital with Twilight.
