(Part 10)
When Shenran got back home, he puts up a 'DO NOT DISTURB' sign on the front door. He then locks the door and puts blackout curtains on all the windows in the house. He then heads down stairs lights four candles, then turns off main lights and sits in the middle of the room cross legged, his hands are palm face up on his knees and starts to meditate. He runs through his head how he felt when his hand started to glow. When he felt the power in the palms of his hands he concentrates on that feeling and eliminating the fear. Then he stops thinking of how he felt and the power in his palms vanished. Next he just tried concentrating on just the power and nothing else.
(5 long hard weeks later)
Shenran emerges from his house lightly screaming as he tries to block out the sun from his eyes till they can adjust to the light. His eyes were still squinting when he heard a soft quiet voice. "Shenran is that you?" the voice asked. As he rubbed his eyes more he could make out a pink and yellow blurred figure.
"Fl-fluttershy?" he asked moaning.
"Shenran you look awful. What happened to you?" she asked.
"What do you mean?" he asked.
"Well, your uh..covered in bruises, your clothes are in tatters and your hair is really long" she said.
With his eyes now back to normal, he looks at his arms and saw all the bruises. He then looks at his clothes and saw many holes in them. He then felt his hair. It was definitely longer than before and he had a beard. "I see what ya mean. I've been so caught up in my training, I guess I never noticed" he said.
"Anyways, what can I do for you Fluttershy?" he asked.
"I've..." she was saying before stopping and looking away while blushing.
"You've what Fluttershy?" he asked.
"I've been so worried bout you" she said starting to cry.
Shenran knelt down and wiped tears away saying "I'm sorry to make you worry. I just needed to get something under control first before I really hurt somepony" he said while holding a hand on her cheek. She just leaned into his hand smiling.
"Did you get it under control then?" she asked. He just nodded.
"Go tell the others to meet me outside ponyville where we first met. I got something to show you all" he said.
A short time later the mane six, Spike and the CMC were all where Shenran crashed. "What are we doing here?" Applebloom asked Applejack.
"Not sure" Applejack said.
"Thank you all for coming out her" Shenran said. "5 weeks ago I almost hurt Spike and Twilight with unknown powers. So I locked myself up in my house for all that time. Trying to figure out what was going on. Then I realized it all started after I got this mark" he said pointing to his Cutie Mark. "I did a lot of meditation on it and finally got it under control" he continued. He held up his hands and they started to glow. Spike then ducked behind Twilight. "Don't worry Spike, I'm not gonna hit you" he said.
"Now everypony stay behind me so you don't get hurt" he said as he turns around. He fires a double fist blast. He then ran fast in the same direction and got in front of the blasts and took them head on by having his arms in an X in front of his face.
"SHENRAN!" Fluttershy screams.
As the smoke clears they can see him walking back towards them. After he gets back to them, Twilight says in an angry tone poking him "Are...You…Crazy? You could've hurt yourself badly".
"That is exactly how I got all these bruises Twilight" he said to her. She then saw all the bruises on his arms. "I've also learned to use my power in another way" he said as he pulled out both swords. Again he turns around holding the swords, then they start to glow just like his hands did. He took two swings (a horizontal and a vertical) and shoot two blast waves out of them. He then swung the swords up and the blasts moved up. He continued showing he could control them before making them hit the ground in a big explosion. He twirled the swords in his hands before putting the swords away.
Just then Fluttershy walks up to him slowly with a sad face. "What's wrong?" he asked. She said nothing, but nuzzled up to his leg. He knelt down and gave her a hug. His long hair started to tickle her nose. She gave a cute little sneeze. They all just started laughing.
"Well I guess it's time for another visit to the spa ponies" he said. "Wanna come with me Fluttershy?" he asked.
"Mmhm" she said nodding. The two make their way to the spa ponies.
They soon arrive at the spa and were greeted by the spa ponies. "Welcome back Shenran it has been far to long, and welcome Fluttershy" said aloe.
"What can we do for you?" asked Lotus Blossom.
"I need you to work your magic on me like last time please" he said.
"And for you dear?" Lotus Blossom asked Fluttershy.
"I'll have my usual" Fluttershy said.
(2 hrs later)
With both feeling refreshed they leave the spa ponies. Just as they walked out Spike comes running up to them. "I've been looking all over for you" Spike said.
"What's up lil' dude?" Shenran asked.
"The Princesses need to see you Shenran right away" Spike said.
"What for?" asked Fluttershy.
"I'm not really sure. They didn't say in the letter" Spike said.
"Well I better go see what they want" Shenran said.
"The others are waiting at the station for us now" said Spike.
The three arrived at the train station and see the others there waiting too. Even the CMC was there too. "Hi big brother!" said Sweetie Belle.
"Hello girls" he said. "You're all coming too?" he asked.
They all said "Yeah!". They all board the train and head for Canterlot Castle.
End part 10. Did some editing. Made his training 1 week longer (again) for certain reasons.
