Hey guys. Apologies for the delay on bring you new chapters, I've been busy. Anyway…Time to find out what happened to Twilight, Cutler, and their friends.
Chapter 9
Opening his eyes, Cutler looked around him. He appeared to be in the caves under Canterlot. Looking around, he saw Twilight in the distance.
Cutler, in a state of panic galloped over to his sister. He shook her gently, trying to wake her up. After a little while, he held her, keeping her safe. After she began to stir, Cutler asked, both relieved, and worried, "Twi, are you ok? Where are the others?" after a brief moment, Twilight replied, "I'm fine, big brother. I don't know where everypony else is. I'm worried about them."
Right as Twilight finished talking, both she and Cutler were knocked back by a flack of orange. The flash of orange was Applejack. "I found em!" She hollered into the distance. Both Cutler and Twilight looked around. Out of the distance, they saw Twilight's friends, Princesses Celestia, Luna, and Cadence, Shining Armor, Granny Smith, Big Mac, Johnny, Apple Bloom, Babs Seed, Sweetie Belle, Scootaloo, Zecora, Spike, Twilight's Parents, Jordan, Dorian, and The Cake Family. "Well well. It's been a long time, Cutler." Shining Armor said to Cutler. "Yeah, Shining, it has, but, I'm home now. Cutler replied. After he finished talking, Cutler tackled Shining Armor and got him in a big hug. "Gahhh, can't breathe!" Shining Armor said, running out of breath.
After releasing Shining Armor, Cutler trotted over to Princess Luna. "It has been too long, my lady." Cutler said to her, in a tone that Twilight had never heard in her brothers' voice before. "Yes, Cutler, it has," Luna replied, a sense of happiness in her voice, "I'm so glad your home, and that you're ok" Cutler and Luna then started to nuzzle their muzzles, causing Twilight to revert her eyes.
Princess Celestia and the large group of ponies started to approach the exit to the caves, when they were stopped by a pair of changelings. Turning around, they went back into the depths of the caves. Concerned, Cutler decided he couldn't keep quiet any longer. " Twi, do you and your friends have the Elements of Harmony with you?" He asked. "Of course we do. But, how did you know WE had them?"
"Princess Celestia told me." Cutler said, turning to face the group of ponies. "There is a rumored seventh Element of Harmony, not originally known to the Princesses. I read about it in the scrolls at the Archive Building. It is supposed to be an Element share between two lovers. Now then, who do we know that fits the criteria?" Everypony pointed at Princess Cadence, and Shining Armor. "Us? Are you sure?" Shining Armor asked, confused.
"Yes," Cutler replied. "There is no other pony couple who has as much love for each other as you two do." And with that, Cutlers horn began to glow. Both Cadence and Shining Armor began to float in the air. Then they burst into a burst of pink light. When the light cleared, everypony was staring at what had appeared around their necks. They were wearing Element necklaces. Each one had a red and magenta swirled heart on it. "I give you, the Element of Love." Cutler said, proud of what he had done. "Now that we have the seventh Element, all that is needed is for us to use all of the elements to escape and defeat the changeling guards."
Cutler turned to Spike. "Spike, I'm about to give you a very important task," Cutler said to him, but before he could finish, Spike blurted out "is it more important than watching a library?" "Yes, Spike, it is. We need to go and stop these villains, before they reek any more havoc. I need you to guard and protect all the ponies here in the cave, understood." Cutler said, expecting Spike to protest. "You can count on me." Spike said, with confidence.
"Alright Twi, do what you do best." Cutler said, as Twilight, her friends, Cadence, and Shining Armor all began to glow. The Elements of Harmony sent out a shock wave, that sent the changelings that were in the caves, and the ones outside the cave flying into the Everfree Forest.
"Alright team, let's move." Cutler ordered, as Twilight, her friends, Johnny, Jordan, Dorian, Princesses Celestia, Luna, and Cadence, and Shining Armor all galloped out of the cave, not prepared for the events to follow.
