Chapter 19: Training

Phillip POV:

The rain had stopped during the night and in the morning I got up and walked outside. Wolfen was the only one that woke up until I got to the door. And the only reason I woke Tony up was because he was sleeping ageist the door. A plan to stop me I'm sure but he wasn't going to stop me. He got up and walked after me, behind Wolfen of course. Wolfen tried to stop me but I patted his head. "Sorry boy you have to stay here to. I'm going to be using my fire powers and I don't want to hurt you on accident. Besides FlutterShy will need a protector so that's your job until I get back. Ok?" Wolfen nodded after leaning into my touch.

Then I stood up and pointed to Tony. "And you need to keep her and my other friends safe until I return. You unleased this side of me so do me a favor and keep them safe for me. Please." Tony didn't hesitate to nod. "Yes sir I will do my best until you get back." I nodded to him than turned to leave. But I was stopped by a thump on the leg by a certain bunny that I looked down to see looking mad. He pointed to the house and thumped his foot at me. "I can't say goodbye to her Angle. She would try and stop me and I can't let her right now. This is for everyone's safety. So give her this note for me please?" He took the note and got out of the way. I thanked him then ran into the forest at a full sprint. I had little clue as to what I could do to control my attitude but I would figure it out! No way was I staying away from FlutterShy longer than I had to.

Later that morning FlutterShy POV:

I woke up with Angle not with me and stretched myself out. I had been tense after that talk last night. "Oh no!" I got up and ran down stairs to find Angle and Wolfen sitting by the empty couch and Tony not inside. "Where is Phillip?" Angle was carried by Wolfen over to me and he handed me a note. I opened it and read it:

"Hey FlutterShy

It is Phillip and I will be gone to train by the time you get up. I am scared that I will lose it and hurt you or our friends or the animals, so I have to go. I have to get batter at controlling my issues so that none of you get hurt by me. So please don't be mad at me or sad that I left. I will be back sooner than you think, I hope. Then it will be safe to be near me again and I won't have to worry about hurting those I call my friends. So I hope to see you soon.

Your friend Phillip."

I was sad though. He left without saying goodbye to me. Angle must have seen what I was thinking and told me what Phillip said and looked like when he left. That he looked sacred and sad but determined as well. And how he said he couldn't let me stop him for the safety of all of us. I gave a sigh and nodded. "Ok, thank you for telling me. I hope he can return soon. But where is that other human?" Wolfen Pointed to the door and told me he was on the other side of it to keep watch. And said it was orders from Phillip he was following. So I let him stay there. I wasn't going to shoo him away even if I wasn't very fond of him right now. That would be rude.

So I made some tea and fed the animals. I made to much tea out of habit so I made a glass for Tony. If he was going to stay and protect us he might as well be in good shape to do so. So after I made the glass I opened the door to see him standing next to the opening looking around. He almost jumped when he heard the door and saw me. Now I know how Phillip felt when we looked scared of him. I gave a small smile and held the glass out to him. "I figured you might be thirsty, and since you are made of water you should be able to enjoy my tea since Phillip can't due to being fire." Ne nodded and gently grabbed the glass. "Thank you, I will make sure to enjoy it since you were nice enough to bring it out here. oh is that Twilight running this way?"

I looked to see Twilight running this way with a note being held with her magic. "Yes it is, but I wonder what has her so active this early in the morning?" Twilight came to a sliding stop in front of us and ignored Tony all together. "Is Phillip still here!?" I gave a sigh and shook my head while looking at the ground. "No he left this morning before I woke up. Angle and Wolfen tried to stop him but he wouldn't listen and went into the forest to train." Twilight kicked the dirt and gave a sigh. "Darn I missed him. The princesses are coming here to help him. They seem to know what is going on with him so they want to help. And are on their way here now. But now it will be harder for them to do that with him not here. I hope they can find him quickly."

I was filled with hope knowing that the princesses were willing to personally help my friend control himself. "Yay! I can't believe they are going to help him!" Twilight nodded. "Yes I was surprised as well, but it seems they don't want a rouge Elemental, especially one that's is supposed to be a friend. So they should be here shortly." As if on cue they heard the flapping of wings. Wolfen had come outside to see what was going on and to make sure FlutterShy was ok. He saw to big shapes with wings and started to growl until he recognized Luna and then relaxed and his tail started to wag as the princesses landed and Luna said hello to him. "Hello Wolfen and Angle it is good to see both of you once again."

Wolfen barked happily in response. "But who I that? Is he the one that unlocked this anger in dear Phillip?" FlutterShy nodded. "This is Tony, the water human that caused Phillip to lose control of his anger." Tony gave a bow and sigh. "Yes I was lied to and acted before listening to his side of the story. So yes this I my fault." Celestia spoke in his defense. "Actually this is not completely your fault young sir. In elementals this is common. It is a form of puberty in a way. All go through it at some point, you just sped up the time frame and chose which part of his element he is getting lost to." Tony looked confused. "What do you mean lost to?"

She explained further. "An elemental, especially one that was not raised as one, can lose their true selves to the element that they control. You control water do you not?" Tony nodded and she continued. "So the moods you could be lost to are sadness, cold to others, absorbing other anger. Things of that nature. Where Phillip has a more explosive element. As you saw he is being lost to anger. Which with his element is better than most he could have been. Such as passion or hate. Either of those could have led to horrid action when released. So it is actually for the best that you unleashed the anger in him instead of the passion being released all of a sudden. That would not have ended well for any of the mares around him."

The mares looked shocked and FlutterShy was shaking slightly as Celestia continued. "Each of these will be unlocked in time, but anger is easiest to deal with. And it will give him the techniques he will need to control any others that appear. So I will be training Phillip in these control techniques, while Luna will teach you Tony to control your emotions before you can go through the same thing and put our subjects in danger without knowing it. So which way did he go?" Wolfen stepped up and barked. I translated for her. "He says he can track him down for you. Then he will find his way home so you can train alone like Phillip wanted." Celestia thanked him and then the two ran off after Phillip.

Luna turned to Tony with a frown. "Though in a way this helps my friend for the future, I am not a fan of how you acted when first meeting him. But we will see what he thinks of you after he gets back from his training. If he can forgive you then so shall I. until then it is time to go through your training. Do you think you can handle the mental strain?" Tony nodded. "All I can do is try. If not for myself for those that I am trying to make up to, or for the one that ordered me to keep them safe. So what do I have to do?" Luna looked at him and nodded. "Come over next to the lake and sit. Then we will begin." I watched Tony walk over to where Luna told him, then I went back into the house.

Celestia POV:

I ran after Wolfen, barely keeping up. I knew timber wolfs were fast, but this one was making even me have to step up my speed to keep up with him. It seemed as if nothing could stop this wolf from finding his master and friend. At this speed it didn't take long for us to find Phillip in a clearing full of fire. Wolfen stopped looked sadly at his friend then turned to me. "Don't worry, your friend will be back to normal sooner than you think. Now go home and I will start helping him." Wolfen nodded and then ran back to FlutterShy's house. Meanwhile I stepped out into the clearing. "Hello Phillip, I am Princess Celestia. I am here to help with your training. Will you let me help you on request of your friends?"

Phillip POV:

I was losing control of my anger at how weak I was when a voice broke me out of it. "Hello Phillip, I am Princess Celestia. I am here to help with your training. Will you let me help you on request of your friends?" I turned to see a big pony with both horn and wings. I had heard of Luna's sister before but never met her in person before. I offered a low bow then asked her how she found me. "Your Wolf is a great tracker, especially when he is worried about his master. So he led me here and then went back home." I couldn't help but smile at the thought of the wolf always being so helpful. "That sounds like him alright. But why are you here then? You said to help with my training?"

Celestia nodded with a smile. "Yes I have helped many elementals in times like this. What is going on is that you are losing who you are to what you are. You are losing yourself to the feelings that fire represents. Things like anger, hate, passion, love. Strong emotions when not controlled can be destructive. That is why I am going to use magic to help you control them until you are trained enough to handle them on your own." I gave a sigh. "Thank you. But please use as little magic as possible. I want to go home as soon as I can and I want to make sure that I will never do anything to hurt FlutterShy or our friends. No matter what emotion tries to win I want to be in control for her sake."

Celestia nodded with a proud smile. "You really do care for her, and that is nice to see. And it means that you have determination to actually control your emotions. That is a great thing when it comes to this training. So are you ready to begin?" I stood straight and nodded firmly. "Yes I am. Where do we begin?" Celestia gave a creepy smirk and took a stance I didn't like the looks of. "We get you mad!" then she shot magic at me! The crazy mare was actually attacking me! "What are you doing!? How is this training me to control my anger!?" Celestia stooped and gave me another smirk. "How will you control the anger, unless you get angry in the first place?" I stopped in my tracks.

Then I face palmed and told her to continue. Why hadn't I thought of that? My anger really is out of control isn't it? Even worse than I thought to. Ok let's do this! Celestia continued to shoot at me and do other things to make me mad, and I let the feelings flow without stopping them like I was told to. I almost lost it a few times but held back form completely losing it. She told me to feel it but not let it control me or my actions. And this went on for an entire day before we stopped. I had kept my strength up by absorbing anything that caught fire in our fighting. When we stopped I was worn out but the princess looked like he had barely done anything. How strong was this pony!?

"This I a good start. But now you need to learn to meditate for when those feelings can't be controlled as easily. This is where you will need to use all of your will from losing control. If you don't then I will be forced to kill you. What we will work with next is your rage that forms from that anger. You learned quickly with physical causes of anger. But now we work on the weaker side of your anger. The mental that has to deal with your friends. I will enter your mind and show you things that will piss you off to no end. But your challenge is to stay calm and not act on what you see. I will start with simple things then go to more complex things. The last one will be your worst fear. So it will be a while before you are ready to handle it. Are you ready?"

I nodded. "Yes Princess I am. Anything to keep FlutterShy safe and happy. Please give me your worst." Celestia nodded and we sat down. With her on my side. Then I felt her horn touch my head and everything went blank. I heard a voice I don't think I should have heard in the darkness. "I hope he is as strong as his heart. Not for his sake, but the sake of dear FlutterShy's heart. Let us begin before he worries." Then it started. The worst most painful training that I could have went through.

First I woke up in a field. Wolfen was in front of me and he was growling at me. I couldn't figure out why. Then I watched as he attacked one that I hadn't seen standing there. Wolfen was attacking Angle, but it wasn't playfully like normal. This would lead to the bunnies end. "NO! Wolfen stop!" my hands lite on fire but I put them out. I wasn't going to hurt Wolfen, not until I knew what was going on. even then I wasn't going to let my anger or rage kill my friend! So I stood there and watched as he caught and killed Angle. I was crying as I stood there trying to control my feelings. Then I saw the scene fade and heard the Princesses voice.

"Good you are more in control than I thought you would start with. Now begins the harder trials." The next four scenes were of my friends hurting each other. I was starting to feel in control, until the next scene showed Tony hurting Wolfen. I almost lost all control but I held back until the horrid scene was over and I fell to my knees. "No, no this wouldn't happen, he is ok! Calm down!" as I said that it happened. I started to calm instantly. Then the princes spoke again. "Just as you control fire with thoughts, so do you now control your feelings the same way. Learn this well and even if the worst happens you will be in control. "

I nodded and stood up while two more scenes with Tony went through my head. But then the scene changed and I was brought to my limit quickly. It was the poison Human and it was a replay of the scene where FlutterShy got poisoned. I was shaking with anger and had to tell myself to keep calm, and calm down so that I wouldn't act out. I might have been shaking in anger, but my hands weren't on fire and I hadn't acted out agents him. I stayed in place and kept calmer then I would have normally. Don't get me wrong, I was pissed, but I was still in control. My blood boils on a normal day so the boiling now wasn't much different. And I fought myself the entire time and when it was done I collapsed.

I was exaugested at this point but knew I wouldn't give up. Not yet. No I couldn't! I had to do this for the one that did so much for me! I slowly stood up and looked forward. "Send the next!" the next three were of him as well and only got worse. But I made it through with the thought of that yellow mare in my mind smiling at me. Then Celestia spoke up once again. "It is good to see that you are still in control. And in much better shape than I thought you would be. But now comes a series of events that are your worst fears. There will be no break or hesitation and you will think it real more than ever. If you cannot control yourself now, there is little hope for you. Please prove that your heart can beat the worst anger and any other feelings that you have. The anger and hate of yourself."

I was shocked and my eyes grew at the thought of her knowing what I really feared and hated. And then the scene started. My heart sank and my anger soared and my hurt tripled. But I tried to stay in control. In front of me was FlutterShy, and normal that would be a good thing, but in this case it wasn't. She was mad at me and telling me to leave not just her house but her life. And to kick me even lower Wolfen was growling and pushing me out of the house. My friends were betraying me, and treating me like a monster. They hated me just like those humans did. And all because I was fond of fire. but how could that kind mare and my best friend do this to me!? Why!?

I was shaking with both sadness and anger forming in me. Once I was outside the door closed and I was left with my anger rising. I wanted to be sad, but it was all forming into anger and hate instead. The next thing I knew the door was blown apart by a fire ball sent from my hand. I had no control! I couldn't stop what I was doing! I saw the scared looks on their faces and begged myself to let the anger go, but to no luck. I was losing myself to my own anger and I was taking it out on my closest friends. I fought my mind as hard as I could as Wolfen attacked me and my hands shot up and caused him to catch fire. He was burning alive and my anger was still too much for me to calm down!

After a few seconds the whimpering and yelping stopped. Angle jumped at me but I grabbed him and burnt him to ash in seconds. Then I walked closer to FlutterShy, but thoughts of not just hurting her formed. My mind was going to defile her to! NO! Stop this! No matter how mad I get I would never do this to her! I am better than that! She deserves better than that! The world shook as I grabbed her and threw her to the ground and got ready to get on top of her. The world shook again. And then the world stopped. "NO! I will not let this happen! Never will I hurt her! I may be weak! But I am strong enough to make sure that doesn't happen!"

Then everything went black.
