Armor of Justice

Chapter 1: In the past

Twilight's view

I still remember that day, 7 years ago. It was a normal day in Ponyville, nothing bad happened and I was in my study reading about a new spell, but I couldn't think straight since the real thing on my mind was Mother Woods. Mother Woods is a small 10-year-old Pegasus who had never met her parents. Spike and I found her in the Everfree forest last year, but ran away a while ago, because she thought she was taking my time when I should be studying or doing my royal duties. Without her though, I don't study as much because I spend too much time worrying something could have happened to her.

"Twilight, I haven't seen you so worried ever since you didn't turn in that letter and went crazy about 12 years ago. Is it because of Mother Woods?" Spike asked me walking in.

I didn't say anything I just read some more even though I wasn't paying attention. If I told him, I would most likely start crying. All of a sudden, Pinkie Pie came in, with her twin daughters, Jack Giggles and Jackleen Choco. They both have a blue mane and green blue coat. Their manes are bouncy and they both are really bouncy. Jack has freckles and is an earth pony, while Jackleen is a lighter shade of green and is a Pegasus because of her father, Lemon Lime Surprise.

"Hey Twilight! We are having a big party, for Derpy's birthday, you want to come?" Pinkie asked me bouncing up and down.

"Not now Pinkie. I'm busy studying." I told her still reading my book.

"Hey Aunt Twi, where is Mother Woods? Has there been any sign of her?" Jack asked me looking around.

That made me act up. The tears started rolling in. "Jack I don't know I haven't seen her and I've been looking for her ever since she left!" I told them bawling my eyes out.

"Oh, I'm sorry Twilight that Jack asked. I guess we should leave to let you have peace and quiet." Pinkie told me, pushing the twins out the door. I went back to reading once they left. Spike left with them, since he didn't want to miss any of Pinkie's parties.

After about 20 minutes of silence, I heard a scream from outside. I quickly looked out the window to see a whole bunch of ponies running around.

"What's going on?" I asked one of the screaming ponies.

"There is a flood that's whipping out Equestria!" They yelled back at me.

I looked up and gasped. Waves were coming straight for Ponyville, and not stopping. I first thought of four things: Tree, Friends, books, Mother Woods. I had to gather up all my friends, save all the books, make sure the tree is still alive, and find Mother Woods. I jumped out the door and started looking for my friends.

A small dark green pegasus filly was sitting in her tree house that was in the Everfree Forest.

"Whatever you do, don't go outside tomorrow."

"But why Guady?"

"Because there is something I have to deal with that I don't want you to get mixed up in. It would be very dangerous and could kill you. I don't want you to die. Just stay in your tree house."

"Okay, but can you promise me one thing?"

"Yes, what?"

"That you won't die in whatever is going to happen tomorrow"

He stared at her and smiled,"I promise, Mother Woods."

Mother Woods started pacing around the tree house. She has a dark brown mane with two orange streaks down one end. Her tail and mane were curly, but messy enough for Rarity to faint at the sight of her. Her cutie mark was of one evergreen tree surrounded by four hearts at every corner. She has dark aqua colored eyes.

"Well, whatever he doesn't want me to be a part of, I can still see it." She told herself.

As she looked out the window she gasped. The whole Everfree Forest was in flood! She looked toward Ponyville and saw that it too was full of water. Her first thought was of her friends she had made over the year she spent with Twilight, Violin Shine, Jack Giggles, Jackleen Choco, Pacific Author, and of course Blueball. Her second thought was of Twilight, and all her precious books. They would all tore apart and fade away in the water. Her third thought was of Guadalol. How did he know this was going to happen? Does he have something to do with this. There is only one way to find out, she thought, talk to him myself, and with that, she flew out of the tree house not noticing the black force field surrounding it.

Fluttershy and her two kids, Zapshy and Curl Arrow were getting all the animals to safety in trees or on top of the cottage.

Zapshy was a pegasus colt that was always ready for adventure. With his light yellow fur and spiky jet black mane, he looked like a bumble bee. His dark red eyes looked excited and mischievous, like his dads. His cutie mark was of a red lightning bolt, with a white line threw the middle.

Curl Arrow was a pegasus filly that would do anything with her older brother. With her light orange fur and curly sky blue mane, she looked sophisticated and proper, but on the inside she was adventurous and daring. Her cutie mark was of a black arrow.

"We would be able to get the job done faster if Rabbit Kind and dad were here." Curl Arrow told them, while carrying a soaking wet squirrel that was struggling to be free in her hooves.

Fluttershy's eyes filled with terror. "Where is Rabbit Kind? Have any of you seen her this morning?" She asked with a worried expression on her face.

"She probably went out to go find dad or something. You know how much she loves him. She waits for him to come home everyday from his so called job. Besides, if RK were out in this flood, she would be out of there in no time." Zapshy told his mom

Zapshy was wrong. Rabbit Kind was searching for their dad, but she couldn't find a way out of the flood. She was holding on to a wooden plank that was attached to a house that could come crashing down any second. "Help! Anypony, please save me!" She cried out. Even though she was a pegasus, she still couldn't fly that great, so she wouldn't be able to fly away.

She had an electric blue mane that was long and spiky with a yellow streak in the middle of her tail and mane. She had light blue fur and dark brown eyes. Her cutie mark was of a rabbit, it symbolized that she took care of animals, like her mom. Although her cutie mark was of a rabbit, she had some hidden talents, like singing, acting, causing mischief, reading, writing, and, of course, going on adventures.

She looked around to see if anypony was there. Sadly, everypony had made it out or were on something that would keep them from falling into the water. All of a sudden, the plank snapped, and fell into the flood, with Rabbit Kind screaming and falling into the dark water.

Applejack was doing her best getting as many apples as she could out of the flood. A small filly named Pacific Author was helping her.

Pacific Author was blue, with a dark blue mane. Her mane was curly and fancy. She had bright yellow eyes and her cutie mark was of a dark purple quill. She loved spending her time at Sweet Apple Acres when her family visits from Canterlot. Her parents don't like her going to the farm because they say it's too "Dirty", but she goes there anyways.

Pacific was carefully putting some apples in a barrel, when a dark shape flew above her. She looked up to see who it was and her eyes widened. Whoever they were, they were a dark green with a black mane and tail. Their hooves had a weird black glow to it. They also had dark red eyes and seemed to be an alicorn. Their horn was glowing black. She knew what it was. A Dark Sol. She was warned that they ate ponies and killed ponies for the fun of it. I have a bad feeling about this She thought to herself. He most likely had something to do with the flood.
