AN: I just want to apologize in advance, I was lazy in the making of this chapter but it's because I was reading a good Sonic/MLP crossover (valid excuse, right?).

Happy Canada day to all my Canadian readers. Happy 4th of July to all my American readers. Et joyeuse fête de la St. Jean Baptiste a tous les Québécois, j'ai fait un merveilleux BBQ avec mes chum. C'étais hot! (I am French if you can't already tell, it's my first language, yet I am a little more English than French (Canadian French, not pure French French from France)).

Alrighty then, now that that is out of the way, read on and PLS review, tell me on what I could improve on and whatnot. Also a second OC of mine is in the story now. If you didn't check my profile he is there.

Loss of a friend: Taken

Chp 1: An interesting opponent

§§§§§

It was noon hour, the princess Celestia has sent a message to the Mane 6 about an hour ago asking them to get their rears over to the Canterlot Castle immediately. But while awaiting their arrival, princess Luna and Celestia were fighting over something.

"Why would you even think of sending them over there? For all we know it's the last time we are going to see them!" Shouted the smaller, darker princess.

"You should know by now Luna not to question my logic. I have reason to send them over to our neighbouring country. Besides, they will come back, I even think they'll be back here before I set the sun and you raise the moon." Celestia replied calmly.

"Sounds like your just a little too optimistic older sister, they might be the elements, but their chances of being able to stop such a thing are slim. Even you with an army of over 1000 stallions were defeated within minutes. And you held the elements of harmony to top it all off." Luna retorted

"That 'thing' has a name you know. He is still pony after all. You didn't call discord or any other threat 'thing' when you knew their names." Celestia noted "In fact, I say his heart is more pure then most that set hoof across this land."

"I still don't like what your doing, what if-"

"What if is the keyword, it always comes down to 'what if this' or 'what if that', we don't know what's going to take place, but I know that my little ponies will be back here before us before long. We will just have to wait for time to unfold and show us what the future beholds. What might and what will happen are two different things."

"I still don't like where this is going."

"Didn't I say not too long ago not to question my logic? Now, they should be arriving soon, and our food should be ready right about now, shall we?"

"Let's shall"

They headed out of the throne room towards the dining hall where they would stay and eat while the Mane 6 arrive.

§§§§§ Half an hour later, with Mane 6. §§§§§

The 6 mares were with 3 guards, waiting 'patiently' for both princesses to come back from their noon meal.

"Are they done yet?" Asked an extremely impatient pegasus. "If they needed us here so urgently, why are they making us wait?"

"I'll tell you exactly what I said last time and the time before that. They will arrive when they will be done, we can't rush them. It's the last thing you want to do, last time a guard interrupted their meal, he was suspended from duty for a month." The guard next to her replied in an annoyed tone. "Besides they should be right about done."

As if on cue, both princesses emerged from the dining hall, trotting gallantly towards the throne. Once there, the 3 guards were told to go back to their original posts, and Luna was told to either keep silent and listen or to just leave. She decided to leave, take a walk, get some fresh air within the system.

Once gone, Celestia looked at the six before her. "I have called you here today, all six of you, because today is a special day. It has been a year since the arrival of Nightmare Moon. It has also been a year that she was defeated by you; the elements of harmony. During this year all six of you have learned what true friendship is about, and you all have been put to the test by many foes, which you all overcame." Celestia announced In a calm yet serious tone. "But today, I am assigning you all on a task which has only one goal, to take down a threat of power so tremendous, that even a god of any sort would fear him. I myself fear him and even with your experiences, I would still shake in fear."

"Well then, give us the location and we'll be on our way and give him a butt kicking that will include a literal butt kicking!" Rainbow called. "Cause nothing is ever gonna stand in my- I mean, our way."

"That is what Luna is afraid of, you might not be powerful enough, even with the six elements." Celestia explained. "I don't expect you to get it on the first try, or on the second one. But I do expect you to be able to do it, eventually."

"Is i-it anything as s-scary as w-what we f-f-fought before?" Asked Fluttershy, as nervous as ever.

"Nothing like Discord or the changeling army, nonono, this threat could take them down with his eyes closed and his limbs tied."

Everypony glared at Celestia with a doubtful yet scared glare. If this threat could take anything down no problem, how would they even be able to take him down?

"So your saying were up against something we have never faced before? Can we research him in anyway?" Asked a studious purple alicorn. "I'd like to know a bit about our foe before trying to go up against it."

"If you've never heard of him then you'd be lying. If you paid attention during history classes, you'd know that there are ponies in other countries that aren't Equestria. But there is also a country just like this one where the majority of the population is ponies. My little ponies, you shall go down to Drafiston, and go up against... The Seventh!"

§§§§§ Kingdom of Drafiston, with Gabolia, 2pm §§§§§

"Alright, class is over, you may go back home, I hope to see you all next Saturday at 1 o'clock as always. Oh, and... Um... Jardark? Bring your full attire next time, alright?"

A young colt nodded towards him. "Yes Sensei Seven, thank you Sensei Seven." He left the dojo along with a couple dozen other students of martial arts.

"Another class done! Long ago I wouldn't dream of doing this. I was alone and that's why I'm still alive. But sooner or later my fighting skills will be as good as the average pony. With a hope and a prayer, these young ones will become warriors of war and protect this country they love so dearly." Gab was flying towards his office door to finish up some paperwork. He just finished his weekly Kung-Fu training with his group of adolescent yellow belts. At around 6pm he would have another group of adolescent green belts come for their weekly training, giving him four hours to just simply relax.

Once the paperwork was done he went through a door within his office, inside was his bedroom. He was just about to take a power nap, when someone interrupted his rest.

"We have 6 Equestrian ponies coming towards our border, what should I do?" Asked a voice within his head.

"Five more minutes Essef, please! Those kids took something out of me." Replied the half asleep martial artist.

"Alright fine, do you want me to find out who they are and why they are here?" Asked the voice

"While I recover a little energy to go greet them, yes please." Answered Gab with a sleepy sounding voice.

"I'll be back with more details"

Resting up again, Gab got comfortable once more and was again falling asleep until Essef came back.

"Um...brother? We have a situation." Said the urgent sounding Essef.

"What is it?" groaned Gab as he was about to get up to see what was going on. If Essef said it was urgent, it normally was.

"I believe I have found... Um... 'Her'."

Gab took a moment before replying. "Are you sure? Not that you'd be wrong, but just make sure it is her, not someone else."

"Everything points out to be her Gab, she still looks pretty unique, looks as ready to fight as you were at her age, she seems just as stubborn as you were, and...um...she is an element."

Gab took it all in and smiled. "Hello again... My daughter."

AN: I am going to leave you all here, on a nice little cliffie. Since I uploaded earlier than I said I would I am going to put a little more time on chapter 2. Chapter 2 should be up by July the 12th. Also, I'm going to explain a little about Essef.

Essef is a troll to others, when he gets bored of being with his brother, he goes in the minds of others and has a little bit of fun. But he is Gab's brother and will normally hang with him, giving him alerts when needed and gives him tips now and again.

So to recap, when with Gabolia, he behaves. When he is on his own, he normally fools around, going crazy and acting like a drunk and a stoned dude off Crac.

Anyways, until next time, and, as always, Greatness Awaits!
