Chapter 1: Remember the Power
In Canterlot City of a nice sunny morning, many students and kids are spending their summer vacation having fun. They either go on trips, and play outside games, and hang out with friends.
In the bedroom and home of Sunset Shimmer, Shadow the hedgehog is sitting on the couch deep in though. He looks at his hands as he remembers what has taken place not to long ago.
"Chaos Control? Is that what I did in Equestria Land. I may have my memories back, but some are still a bit blurry," Shadow says to himself.
Shadow feel that he should know these powers, but the details are sketchy. Over a week ago, Shadow and Rarity confronted Vignette for trapping the girls and tricking Rarity. Shadow uses a strange power to prevent himself and Rarity from being trapped. He's been wondering about his new found powers ever since.
"Hmm, I think I remember Professor Robotnik told me about these powers. They're supposed to be useful for me when I get to the planet. I was able to used the power on this planet,but still…" Shadow says in thought.
Suddenly he feels a strange chill on his cheek. He quickly turn his head to see Sunset holding two cans of soda. One of them is close to his face so it explains the unexpected chill.
"Hey Shadow, thought you could use a drink," Sunset says with a giggle.
"Thanks," Shadow replies.
He takes the soda and opens it. Sunset sits next to the hedgehog and they both drink the soda together.
Sunset asks, "So Shadow, what were you thinking about?"
"Not much," Shadow answers.
"Come on Shadow, I can tell you were thinking about something. Something bothering you," Sunset says.
"Like I said, 'not much,'" Shadow says.
Sunset has her hand close to Shadow, "Okay, but I'm going to look through your memories to be sure."
Shadow sighs in defeat, "Fine. I… I was think about what happened in Equestria Land. When Rarity and I confronted Vignette."
"That's right, Rarity told me about that. She said you used some strange energy that created a force field and a spear with your hand," Sunset replies.
"Yeah. I've been thinking about and wonder what other abilities I can do," Shadow says.
Sunset thinks of it, "Well, we know that your super fast, able to make spears and force fields. I guess you just need to wait until more powers comes in."
"I guess," Shadow replies.
Sunset tries to think about the powers that Shadow might possess.
Sunset asks, "Shadow, did you remember using these powers at the ark?"
"I think so. Professor Robotnik told me that I have a power called chaos control. I think the spears I created are called chaos spear, and the force field are called chaos shield," Shadow answers.
"Hmm, chaos control? I can't say I heard anything like it. From what Rarity and I have seen, your ability seems to be different than Equestrian Magic," Sunset says.
Suddenly, Sunset hears her phone vibrate. She picks up her phone to see Applejack is calling.
Sunset answers the phone, "Hi Applejack."
"Howdy Sunset, how are you and Shadow doing?" Applejack asks, over the phone.
"We're done fine. We're just discussing about sharing special powers and stuff," Sunset says.
"Sounds fine. You guys wanna come over?" Applejack asks.
"Sure," Sunset says.
"Great. I called the others and they're coming over too," Applejack says.
"Sounds good, Shadow and I will see you there," Sunset says.
They both hang up the phone.
"Well Shadow, looks like we're going to see Applejack and the girls today," Sunset says.
"Sure," Shadow replies.
Sunset smiles, "Great. Plus, I think I have an idea when we get there."
At Sweet Apple Acres, Applejack and the girls are waiting for Sunset and Shadow to arrive for them to hang out. The girls are sitting in the barn having some apple based food and drinks.
"Where are they?" Rainbow asks.
"Relax Rainbow. They'll be here soon," Rarity says, painting her nails.
"Yeah Rainbow, so be patient," Applejack says.
"Yeah yeah," Rainbow mutters.
Twilight turns to Applejack, "I wonder what Sunset wants to talk to us about."
"No idea. She called sayin' she's on her way with Shadow and said that there is somethin' we need to talk about," Applejack answers.
"Hmm, I wonder what it can be," Twilight says.
"Well, it looks like we'll find out because here they are," Pinkie answers, turning Twilight's head.
Everyone else look to see Sunset is walking into the barn with Shadow.
"Howdy y'all, nice yo see you two," Applejack says.
"It's great to be here," Sunset says.
Fluttershy asks, "Shadow, would you like something to eat?"
"Sure," Shadow answers.
Shadow sits on the chair and Fluttershy gives him a snack.
Twilight asks, "So Sunset, what this you wanna talk about."
"Well, it's about Shadow's powers. He told me that Shadow can use an ability called chaos control. I also remember that he didn't seen us using our powers much. So I thought it will be nice to observe each other. Maybe we can understand Shadow's abilities," Sunset says.
"Not a bad idea. I like to see how my speed is compared to Shadow," Rainbow says.
She turns turns to Shadow, "Wanna race?"
"No," Shadow answers.
"Come on, Shadow! Please," Rainbow whines.
Shadow turns his head away from Rainbow, "No."
"It looks like Shadow isn't in the mood to race," Rarity says.
"But I want to see how fast he is," Rainbow says.
Shadow says, "I will not race you, but I do like to know what you girls can do. Sunset told me that she can see people's thought and memories and feel people's emotion. During the incident in Equestria Land, Rarity can make diamonds that looks like her hair clip."
"You're right about that sugarcube. For me, I can lift anythin,' even stuff that's like five times my own weight or so," Applejack says.
"As for me, I'm able to lift things up with magical auras," Twilight says.
Pinkie puts sprinkles on her hand, "I can use sprinkles that cause them to explode."
She throws a batch of sprinkles on the ground and explodes with sparkles.
"As for me, I can use super speed," Rainbow says.
She runs super fast out of the barn. Then goes all the way around the orchard. In a matter of seconds, she is back to where she starts.
"I still like to see how fast you can do on this jet shoes," Rainbow says.
"Again, I don't want to waste my time racing," Shadow says.
He then turns to Fluttershy, "What about you? What kind of powers do you possess?"
"Oh well, I'm able to talk to um animals. All kinds of them," Fluttershy answers.
"What kind?" Shadow asks.
"Birds, squirrels, dogs, and cats," Fluttershy answers.
"Hmph," Shadow replies with his arms crossed.
Twilight asks, "So Shadow, what kind of chaos control powers you're able to do."
"I know I was able to use chaos shield and chaos spear. I also able to use my jet shoes for super speed. I believe I'm able to use more, but even when I have my memories returned, they're still a little fuzzy," Shadow answers.
"Hmm, sounds to me that you still have powers that you might still have a bit hard for y'all to remember," Applejack says.
"Don't worry, "I'm sure Shadow will remember in due time. Still, I wonder if there's any more hedgehogs like you or other creatures," Sunset says.
"If they were, I would definitely like to study their culture and maybe their science and history," Twilight says.
"Maybe some fashion they have," Rarity says.
"I wonder what kind of food they have?" Applejack asks.
Rainbow says, "Aww, I'm hoping they will have great places to run around and to use my wings to fly in the air."
"I wouldn't know. I never been with other creatures like me at all," Shadow says.
"That's right, you were only with other humans in a space station," Twilight says.
Sunset hugs Shadow, "But I'm sure you'll be able to find other creatures in no time. Besides, we're glad to have you here with us."
"You can say that again," Pinkie says, hugging both Shadow and Sunset.
The girls begin laughing with smiles on their faces. Shadow rolls his eyes in response and yet shows a small smile on his face. He actually loves to be with the girls, especially Sunset.
