Chapter 2: " What Have We Here?"
"I can't do it!," Shining Armor thought to himself, "I can't send my son back in time." He looked at SoulMatch trying to hold back his tears, but he could not contain the sorrow in his heart for what he has to do to his only son. He tried to think of other ways to think of other ways to hide and protect him, but ended at the same result. "There has to be a better way than to send hi back in time. I could take him to my sister Twilight, but that would put her in danger, as well. What if i take him to Princess Celestia? Could she protect him? No. She can't. Not with Chrysalis at the power she has obtained. She would tear Canterlot apart brick by brick."
He then looked over the horizon to his north and he saw a large, dark forest. "The Everfree Forest." A thought sparked in his head. He knew that all his past ideas failed, so he knew that time travel was the best and only option. " I'll take him to the Everfree Forest, so i can have some cover when i send him back. I'm sure that by now, Chrysalis has sent her minions to try and find us, so i have to hurry." He placed SoulMatch back into the protective shield and started heading toward the entrance to the Everfree Forest. While he was walking, he kept thinking to himself, " I really wish there was truly another way. No matter who i give him to, they will be in grave danger. I can't afford to do that." He looked to his toward SoulMatch, happily playing inside the shield, and began to think of the time back at the Hive. He took a closer look at his eyes. "His eyes are just like a pony's, but the color of them is exactly like that of a changeling. I wonder what happened during the process, but enough of that. I'm at the entrance of the forest."
As he entered the forest, he heard a small rumble behind him. He then realized that the soldiers of Chrysalis were rapidly gaining on Shining Armor's trail. "Darn it! it's her soldiers! I need to hide as deep in the forest as i can so they don't find us." Shining Armor darts into the forest as fast as he can in order to escape from Chrysalis's grasp. He ran across streams , jumped over large roots, and finally hid in a thick bush as dark as night. The soldiers arrived shortly after. They searched every bush and every nearby tree. They leave after searching the area. Shining Armor slowly creeps out of the bush, made sure the coast is clear, and slowly raised SoulMatch out of the bush. " That was a close one, SoulMatch. I thought they were going to find us for sure." Soul Match, still in the shield, happily pokes the shield and pops it by accident. He falls to the ground, but Shining Armor quickly recovers him with another shield. "What are you doing, silly? I'll have to make this shield a little harder for you."
SoulMatch became puzzled as to how he was floating again. Shining Armor began walking again deeper into the Everfree Forest. He stopped briefly after walking for about half an hour. " I think this is the place to do it." He said as he tried to relax for a brief moment. He then stood up and took a deep sigh. It was time to get serious. He only had this one chance to do this. He looked at SoulMatch one last before casting the spell, staring deeply into the eyes as bright as a patch of grass struck by sunlight with tears slowly falling down from his face. " I'm so sorry that i have to do this you, my son, but i have no other choice but to send you back in time. I want you to grow strong, like me and learn as many spell as you can, but don't push yourself too far, and when you find your Cutie Mark, you must fight Queen Chrysalis with full force and take her down for good. I hope somepony in the past will find you and raise you into the fine colt i want you to be." Shining Armor casts the spell, and suddenly, a large beam of blue light crashes down surrounding SoulMatch.
Shining Armor abruptly steps back in astonishment. He then tells SoulMatch one last thing before he loses him to time, " One last thing, SoulMatch. You are my son, and as your father, I want what is best for you, So i am sending you back fifteen years, so that you may fully prepare yourself for the chaos that will come upon Equestria. Whatever you do,.SoulMatch, Do not fail me. I love you, my son." The blue suddenly ascended into the sky and slowly vanished into the thin air, Shining Armor bowed his head and whispered to himself, "Princess Celestia, please protect my son."
*Fifteen years in the past*
It was raining in the middle of the night, and three ponies were walking back to their house just outside Ponyville when huge bolt of lightning crashed right in front of them.
They were scared enough to back up ten hooves. The colt of the trio noticed something was left behind the lightning bolt. SoulMatch had successfully made it to the past. He started crying like he was longing something. The other two ponies approached slowly to investigate what it was.
"Well What do we have here? A baby colt coming out of a lightning bolt?" He picked up SoulMatch to see if there was anything left with him, but they found nothing.
" Wait. there is something in the hole!" said the youngest pony, " it's a note." "Great job Time Turner. Bring me the note." said his mother, the second pony. Time Turner brought the note to his mother. She opened the note and read it aloud,
" To whoever finds this young colt, please take good care of my son, SoulMatch. he is the pony will save the future Equestria."
"Does this mean I have a little brother now?" asked Time Turner earnestly,
"Yes, it does, Time Turner. You now have a little brother."
