On the sunny day, with its clear and beautiful sky,
Somewhere near to Fluttershy's Cottage, both her and Twilight Sparkle were having chat, while dealing with filthy and unused item, garbage and trashes, which was thrown on both ground and lake. Through her magic, Twilight Sparkle took bits-by-bits of the dirt and black oils of water, evaporating and clearing them out, receiving the clear water. Fluttershy, using her net, grabbed and took the cans, plastic, papers and unhealthy items and garbage. She threw them on the garbage can.
Fluttershy turned to Twilight, "Thank you for helping me to clean and clear some dirty and polluted garbage, Twilight."
Twilight smiled, evaporating the dirt and grease out from the water before dropping it into river. She turned to Fluttershy and smiled, "It's no problem, Fluttershy. I'm glad to help put. After all, nopony deserve to have such filthy and polluted water at our home."
Both Fluttershy and Twilight smiled, before returning in cleaning and clearing the water from garbage, trashes, oil and greases, almost done of them.
Fluttershy nodded her head, "Why yes. I couldn't agree more. This is for all the animals to drink and bath with clean water."
"Yes, indeed," Twilight agreed. She looked up at the sky, before she breathed in concern, "I'm also worried of how long can we fight against Smaug, Dark Curse, Grimmore and their forces. The Three Lords won't give up until we give up. I'm really worry, Fluttershy."
"Don't worry, I'm sure we can win. After all, we have not lost." Fluttershy assured Twilight Sparkle while patting gently on her right shoulder.
Twilight Sparkle smiled gently, "I guess so."
Twilight magically released the transparent sphere, out of the water into the river. She smiled happily, "At least, the river is clear and clean. Now we can go home."
Fluttershy nodded her head. Both Twilight and Fluttershy turned to their back. They gasped in shock. They saw the area was filled with dirty, filthy and polluted garbage, papers, woods and items.
"What the -?!" Twilight paused, thinking and realizing someone who had done the mess. She groaned in anger, "Discord!"
The former and trouble-making villain named Discord, appeared like a magic while showing his smile, in front of his good friends.
"Hello, ladies. Nice to see you here." Discord then looked at the river. He whistled gently, "Wow, nice cleaning, ladies. I really do appreciate you for cleaning that."
"Enough! I don't know why do you keep making fun of me, but this is not FUNNY!" Twilight exclaimed and shouted in anger.
Discord looked and yelped in frighten and worry. He hasn't seen her angry look at him since being accused of the mess he had made, such as not telling about his Seeds attacking Tree of Harmony, and tricking Twilight in helping him to deal with his sickness.
"Oh my goodness, Twilight, whatever are you talking about?" Discord asked innocently, "What I've been doing is sitting and sleeping at Fluttershy's home, waiting for my dear friend's coming home. And trust me, Twilight, I would never do such a thing, especially not in front of my dear Fluttershy. After all, we are all best friends."
Twilight glared at Discord whom frowned. He slowly shrunk himself as tiny as butterfly. She asked suspiciously, "And why should I believe in you?"
"Because I don't think Discord is lying," Fluttershy said, "After all, Discord had reformed since the day we released him and especially saving him from Tirek. We are best friends."
Discord smiled while having the golden ring on top of him like an innocent angel. He disappeared, before appeared again in his regular size.
Twilight thought for the moment before she breathed in upset. She turned to Discord with her angry look, asked: "If you didn't do it, then who did?!"
Discord shrugged, "How should I know?" He shook his head gently, "Tsk. Tsk. Tsk. Why waste time of asking me, and start cleaning up first? Then, we'll find the troublemaker."
Twilight rolled her eyes in irritation, breathed in irritation, "Fine. You'd better hope you're not up to any old tricks of yours again."
Discord scoffed, "Whatever."
Discord turned to the front. With a snap of his finger or claw, the garbage and trashes disappeared in the blink of an eye. The area was cleaned and cleared.
"There. Good as Winter Wrap Up event," Discord said.
Twilight sighed, "Well, that takes care of it. Now, to find who's the responsible of the mess he made."
Twilight, Fluttershy and Discord looked around in the area, finding the troublemaker for causing the mess he or she had made. They looked everywhere carefully and cautiously. On Fluttershy's right side, the bushes rustled loudly, causing her to looked at there. She approached it carefully and slowly.
ACHOO!
Fluttershy gasped and yelped in shock and fear. She quickly flew towards Discord, before grabbing his long neck tight, causing him to choke.
Discord turned to Fluttershy, exclaimed in concern. "Fluttershy?! What in the name of-!"
Discord's mouth placed and put by Fluttershy's right hoof. She hushed softly at him.
Fluttershy removing her right hoof. She turned and pointed at the bushes, " There's something in the bushes."
Both Twilight and Discord turned to where Fluttershy's pointing at: the bushes. They saw the bushes rustled hard. Discord gulped in fear and worry, covering his mouth, with his hands. Twilight approached to the bushes cautiously, gathering her energy on her horn. She magically moved the bushes aside.
Twilight Sparkle had her face enter the bushes, looking at something or someone. She gasped in surprise, encountering the dark lavender-black Earth Pony, who had silver short and spiky mane and tail and his Cutie Mark was crimson Beetle Bug Symbol (Kamen Rider Kuuga Symbol) and Hero in Chinese Symbol.
"What the..." Twilight asked in shock, "A colt?"
The colt gulped, staying within bushes, said softly: "Oh, hey."
Twilight giggled, "Hey to yourself, little colt." Mysterious colt looked scared, frown and frighten, hearing her giggle, moving back away from her. Upon her noticed on his frightened state, Twilight smiled gently, slowly lifting her hoof in front of him. He quickly lowered and hid himself down. She hushed gently, "It's okay. I'm not going to hurt you. You can come out."
"You sure?" The mysterious colt asked in concern.
"I'm sure. It's okay. I'm your friend."
"Okay,"
Skeptical and concern, the colt looked at her, and then her smile. Her face and appearance... She's reminding him of someone. He looked down, thinking of whether he should trust her... or not...
The colt looked up at Twilight Sparkle, smiled. He touched her hoof, with his. She smiled, gently pulling him out of bushes. She continued smiled at him. The colt smiled back at her. Before Twilight could do anything, the blackish light blinked on her eyes for few times. Twilight looked at the colt's forehead carefully.
Twilight gasped in worry and shock, seeing a black circle with three demonic bat wings on three sides with Chinese word: Darkness, appeared and blinked on forehead blinked before it disappeared.
"Is that..." Twilight asked in concern and fear. She shook her head. Twilight turned to the colt and gave the weak smile, "Listen, stay here. Let me talk with my friends something important, okay?"
The mysterious colt looked surprise and suspicious, before he nodded his head, "Okay."
Twilight waved both Fluttershy and Discord to come to her. Twilight approached and met up with two friends. Twilight, Fluttershy and Discord came in circle as they had some discussion.
"Twilight, what's wrong?" Fluttershy asked in concern.
Twilight gulped, "Do you remember of how should we know which one is Dark Mystic Pony? By looking at his forehead for showing his black circle with three bat wings and had Ma's Word: 'Darkness'?" Both Discord and Fluttershy gulped in concern and nodded their heads slowly. Showing her fear and concern in her eyes, Twilight spoke softly, "He's one of them!"
"WHAT?!" Discord and Fluttershy asked in fear while freaked out.
"Is he -?! You know do something dangerous like magic attacks or becoming any demon form?!" Discord asked in concern, "Oh! I hate to see those monsters' forms again!"
"Twilight! We need to get out of here now! I hate to see how he acts especially Amon's Magic or Ability Removal Spell. He took everyone's powers out so easily." Fluttershy said in concern.
Twilight looked back at the mysterious colt again before turned to her friends. She sighed, "I don't know, guys. I don't think he's a threat."
Discord's head transforming into honker. He honked out in alarm on her ears hard and loud, before transforming it back to his original face. He exclaimed: "Twilight! Are you crazy?! He's the Dark Mystic Pony! They kill anyone in their sights! Let's not forget what Assassins Six and Fearsome Four did to us the last time we had them visiting our home."
Fluttershy nodded her head in fear, "Discord's right. We had to do something about him."
Twilight looked down with her concern looks. Her mind was filled with concern and worry, questioning her on what to do with the colt. She sighed, "I know. But I can't help it... I can't help but want to help him. I mean he's the colt. He hardly had any kind of powerful magic."
"What makes you said that?!" Discord asked in panic and concern.
Twilight sighed, "When I look at his eyes, he doesn't seem to be threat. He's kinda... remind me of... someone..."
"Nyx?" Fluttershy asked in surprise and concern. She looked at the colt, who waved his hoof and smiled at her. She gasped meekly, yet she smiled. She returned to her conversation with her friends. "Well, he does look innocent and cute. I mean what if he's not like Nyx? Nyx does have your blood because she's your daughter when she was created. How do we know he's different than other Dark Mystics?"
"Why don't you ask him?" The voice suggested gently. Twilight, Fluttershy and Discord had their eyes widened in shock and surprise. They looked around. They looked down upon seeing the colt. He continued, "FYI, guys, I have a name. It's Sam."
Twilight, Fluttershy and Discord yelped in shock and surprise upon looking at mysterious colt, or known as Sam was beneath them.
"So, what's exactly are you talking about?" Sam asked.
"Um... nothing," Twilight said in concern.
"Come on... I'm not that gullible and stupid, you know. I maybe Dark Mystic Pony, but not very monstrous or powerful as any others."
Discord came and glared at Sam, questioned: "How do we know we can trust you? Since Dark Mystic Ponies are good at manipulations and tricks, so how do we know you're not tricking us?!"
"Geez. Why is it so many ponies are dumb? Dad is right. You guys are so gullible about difference between adult ponies or foals." Sam said in annoyance. He breathed calmly, "First, Dark Mystic Colts and Fillies were not allow to be recruited and trained in Dark Mystic Military until they were at least pony teens to be there. Once you get in the Military, there's no turning back but to move on until you surpass all the test. The one who trained these recruits is Houndkiller."
Discord gulped in fear, "Oh! I hate that guy! That guy has no sense of fun."
"So who is your father?" Fluttershy asked.
"Not telling. I promise dad not to tell anyone. It's classified." Sam answered. Twilight approached to Sam, "What're you doing?"
Twilight glanced at Sam closely, "Sam, what were you doing here? I mean you're too smart of coming here alone. There is no way you came here to spy on us."
"Well, I was playing with my friends." said Sam. He breathed in upset, before showing his upset and frown looks, "But I don't know what were they doing. I had the feeling they hate me, thinking that I'm too special than anyone. I didn't want to be any of that. I just wanted to have fun." Twilight watched and listened carefully on Sam's story. He continued, "And I didn't spy on you or any of ponies. Besides, dad said I'm not ready, even though I had Cutie Mark."
Twilight thought for the moment about Sam's answer and story. She thought of the moment, and recalled how he was related to a similar event when meeting Nyx. She smiled gently, "You know. I think you're honest."
Discord and Fluttershy had their mouths opened and widened their eyes in shock.
"Really?" Sam asked hopefully.
"Really. Besides, I was wondering. Would you like to come with us to Ponyville?" Twilight asked gently.
"Wow?! Really?! I don't know. I was told by my dad that going to someone's home is not a good idea because Mortal Ponies may hate me."
"Not me. And I'm sure my friends won't."
Sam thought of the moment. He smiled gently, looking up at Twilight Sparkle, with his gentle and innocent eyes. Twilight Sparkle smiled sincerely and gently.
Discord came in between Twilight Sparkle and Sam. "Now, hold that thought, Twilight Sparkle!" Discord exclaimed in concern, "Are you even sure that's even good idea of bringing him to Ponyville?!"
"And you don't?" Twilight asked slyly. Discord shocked up upon hearing what Twilight ask. All he did was shrugged up. "Besides, I believe we can reform Sam. I think Dark Mystic Pony can change his dark ways to light ways. just like what we did to Nyx, you and Sunset Shimmer. So why not him?"
Fluttershy thought for the moment. Before she could say anything, Fluttershy looked and saw Sam playing with the water. He spotted the paper waste. Sam took the paper up, with a bite. He put it on the recycle and garbage can. He turned and smiled back to Fluttershy, with gentle and innocent.
Fluttershy smiled. She turned to Twilight and Discord, "Maybe you're right, Twilight. I do believe we can change his ways to our way. Don't you agree, Discord?"
Discord hummed in concern and worry. Fluttershy showing her large and innocent puppy dog eyes at Discord's eyes. He gulped in concern, though of the moment while looking at her eyes. He groaned before he sighed, "Very well. After all, if you two can reform Nyx and me, why not him?"
Twilight smiled, "Thank you, my friends."
Twilight, Fluttershy and Discord turned to Sam with their gentle and sincere smile.
Sam looked awkward and worried, "So, is there anything wrong?"
Twilight shook her head. She approached to Sam, "Nothing's wrong, Sam. Just discussed of letting you come to our home, and so we allow you to come."
Sam gasped in excitement, "Really?!"
Twilight Sparkle, Fluttershy and Discord smiled and nodded their heads. Sam had his eyes widened in happiness and excitement. He jumped and bounced around Twilight, Fluttershy and Discord while cheering. Sam stopped in front of Twilight Sparkle. Sam nuzzled on Twilight's leg. She smiled gently.
Discord smiled, "You know you're right, Sam's kinda cute for a Dark Mystic Pony. He thinks Twilight's his mother."
Fluttershy nodded her head, "Who could resist the cuteness of Dark Mystic Pony like him?"
Sam chuckled gently and softly as Twilight continued to pat on his mane.
"Arrrrrggggggggggghhhhhhhhhhh!" Ben screamed in pain, being pushed and hit on the mountain's edge wall hard.
Ben cringed in pain , tried to stood up but fall to the ground while holding his Master Sword tight on his hooves. Ben looked on his right: Flash Sentry and Shinning Armor, along with Royal Guards and Mystic Soldiers are battling against the couples of Dark Mystic Soldiers.
Ben looked up and saw Blazefist and Laxtinct been pushed to the wall hard. Ben also saw one of Phoenix Warriors Five: Bladestrike held his Twin Axes tight, facing against one of Fearsome Four, Devil Destroyer.
"Weakling!" Devil Destroyer exclaimed angrily, "Is this the best you had?! I'm disappointed, especially the new Mystic Pony! I'm expecting great challenge!"
Bladestrike panted in tired and pain as he held his twin axes tight, declared, "We are not done yet! I refuse to give up!"
Blazefist and Laxtinct groaned in pain, tried to get up.
"We've gotta help General Bladestrike!" Blazefist groaned in pain, held his chest tight, "We have to wound Devil Destroyer somehow."
Laxtinct looked freak out, turned to his older brother, "In case you hadn't realize, Devil Destroyer has no weak spot!"
Ben groaned in pain, got up slowly. Ben summoned Razor Sword on his left hoof, "Maybe. But if we work together, we can wound him down."
Blazefist turned to Ben, understanding Ben's doing, nodded his head, "So, what's the plan?"
Bladestrike swung his axes on Devil Destroyer's head. Devil Destroyer stroke back his attacks against his former generals' attacks. During the battle, Devil Destroyer fought back against Bladestrike. Bladestrike blocked and fought back by swinging his axes back. Bladestrike had his final strike, jumping up and slammed his axes on top of Devil Destroyer. Devil Destroyer swung his halberd against Bladestrike's axes, causing him to hit on the ground hard. Devil Destroyer yelled in anger, charged right at Bladestrike while struck his halberd against his former ally. Bladestrike rolled over as quickly as he can while Devil Destroyer continued to struck his blade against on the ground hard and quick.
Upon getting up from the ground, Bladestrike stood up and armed himself with his axes. Devil Destroyer grabbed on Bladestrike's head tightly. His right hoof grip glowed in dark crimson.
"Crimson Destroyer Slam!" Devil Destroyer yelled in anger.
Devil Destroyer's right hoof glowed brighter, creating some serious burning heat on Bladestrike. He screamed in pain. Devil Destroyer slammed Bladestrike on the ground hard. Bladestrike groaned and moaned in pain, held his body tightly.
Before Devil Destroyer could do anything, Shinning Armor and Flash Sentry charged in and attacking at the monster. Shinning Armor blasting his Unicorn Burst at Devil Destroyer while Flash Sentry used his Spear of Wind, creating the hurricane and fired at him for few times. Devil Destroyer blocked the attack for few rounds. Devil Destroyer roared in anger, swung his halberd up for few rounds and then he slammed it on the ground hard. The ground shaken hard, causing Shinning Armor and Flash Sentry shaken and fell to the ground hard.
Devil Destroyer huffed, "This is pathetic. Any last word?"
"One: Bye-bye!" Ben cried.
Devil Destroyer turned and saw Ben held his Master and Razor Swords tight, along with Blazefist's hooves burned and Laxtinct's rock gloves-like.
"Firestorm Eagle!" Blazefist cried as he clasped his hooves together, creating the fiery giant eagle.
"Stonestorm!" Laxtinct cried as he clasped his hooves together, creating the stones and rocks into storm shaped.
Both Blazefist and Laxtinct fired their attacks on Ben's swords. They glowed in golden in cross form, and so as his body.
"Triforce X Slash!" Ben cried.
Ben slashed his sword in front of him, together with Stonestorm and Firestorm Eagle in the form of X-Shaped. It charged right at Devil Destroyer. It clashed against Devil Destroyer's blockade. Devil Destroyer tried resisting and pushing the attacks away had. Ben's Triforce X Slash prevented Devil Destroyer from moving forward, pushing him back and away from him. Devil Destroyer yelled and roared in anger, swung his halberd very hard against the triple powers into pieces and dispel.
Everyone gasped in shock and worry. Devil Destroyer groaned in anger, glared at his enemies.
Devil Destroyer huffed, "Not bad. But not good enough." Devil Destroyer turned back away from his enemies, "I was told to challenge Ben's powers, and from what I see... It's very pathetic. What a waste of my time. All units, fall back!"
Devil Destroyer whistled loud. The loud and wild roar is heard. Devil Hare the Blaze Dragon flew and landed on the ground hard. Devil Destroyer quickly got up and rode on the dragon. Dark Mystic Soldiers quickly abandoned their battles. They quickly turned and escape from the battles. Devil Destroyer turned to Ben, Flash, Shinning, Bladestrike, Blaefist and Laxtinct, along with their wounded and injured Royal Guards and Mystic Soldiers.
"We'll meet again." Devil Destroyer said, lashed on his Black Devil before they flew off and escaped.
"Well, at least, we've manage to push them back." Laxtinct shrugged.
Bladestrike sighed, "For now..."
Ben nodded his head. Before he could do anything, he yelled in pain. He held his blood and wounds tight to his chest. Ben groaned and moaned in pain. Falling to the ground, but grabbed by Flash Sentry and Blazefist.
Everyone cried, "BEN!"
Ben groaned in pain, "I'm... I'm fine... I can walk..."
Shinning Armor shook his head, "No, you're not! We won't go until you let us help you." Ben looked down while groaning in anger. He continued, "Look, I know you don't like what those creeps did to us. But with this kind of condition you had, you won't be going anywhere until you're healed."
Laxtinct chuckled, "Don't be stubborn as Dragon Hope."
"Lax!" Blazefist said angrily.
Laxtinct realized the mistake, "Oh, sorry about that."
Ben sighed, ignoring of what Laxtinct had said, said, "Yeah, I guess."
"Never mind about that," Flash said in concern, looking at Ben's wounds. He continued, "We'd better get to Ponyville before his wounds get worst."
Bladestrike nodded his head. Shinning Armor used his magic and levitated Ben on his back, carrying him up. Bladestrike turned to both Royal Guards and Mystic Soldiers, waved them on his left. Bladestrike, Blazefist, Laxtinct, Flash Sentry and Shinning Armor carrying Ben on his back, headed back to Ponyville.
Ben groaned in pain while having thoughts, 'One day... I'll end Dark Mystic Ponies... I'll bring Dragon Hope back... I promise...'
