Greetings, one and all, and welcome to the first chapter of Arc IV of Harmonic Heroes: Quest For Equestria. I hope your going to enjoy it as much as I had writing it and now on to the review.
kyrogue23: Hell yeah they are going to be ready. Its a little unexpected from Fluttershy but I thought it was pretty baddass for her to take out the final boss of Arc III. McGrath will tell them, but they wouldn't tease Griffifth about sleeping with Celestia, they aren't those kind of friends (Yes they are).
Now its story time.
At the Crystal Empire, a cloaked Magi is watching a crystal statue of the Harmonic Heroes battling the smoke form of King Sombra, at the top of the crystal statue was the roaring expression of Sombra, about to be struck down by Skywalker wielding his lightsaber.
"Look at him. So sleek. So powerful. So... beautiful, like some great golden god made flesh. Of course, any sensible god would demand absolute obedience in return for his favor.", the Magi thought to herself as she glared at the passing crystal people from under her hood, "But, no, the Knight Of The Wind protects us, with no strings attached. The people? Hmph. They practically worship him anyway. Enjoy your reign while you may, Ser Skywalker. For surely as night follows day, there comes a time when even gods must fall."
Meanwhile on board the Equestria Express, heading towards the Crystal Empire. "No, Archmage would be more like Emma Watson, and Diva would look more like Scarlett Johansson or Yvonne Strahovski...", Phoenix said to Sutakira as the two look at his laptop screen.
"What are you two baka's doing?", Twilight asked, standing behind them. Looking on the screen, she saw pictures of the Harmonic Heroes along with a lot of different pictures of other humans.
"Oh, hi Twily. We are theorizing who would play us if they would make a movie out of our adventures.", Sutakira said as he showed her the list.
On the screen she saw the following list along with pictures:
Jason Skywalker - Henry Cavill/Adam Driver
Twilight Sparkle - Emma Watson/Idina Menzel/Tara Strong
Rainbow Dash - Gal Gadot/Natalie Portman/Kristen Bell
David McGrath - Christian Bale/Ben Affleck/Peter Dinklage
Rarity Shine - Yvonne Strahovski/Scarlett Johansson
Adam Griffifth - Hugh Jackman
Pinkie Pie - Jennifer Lawrence/Idina Menzel/Katy Perry
Kyle Phoenix - Ryan Reynolds
Applejack Mela - Daisy Ridley/Idina Menzel/Taylor Swift
Toshiyuki Sutakira - James McAvoy/Chris Evans
Fluttershy Flowers - Emilia Clarke/Hayden Panettiere/Ariana Grande
Big Macintosh Mela - Michael Fassbender/Hayden Christensen
"Yeah, I know some of those are singers, but those are more for appearance than their acting abilities.", Phoenix said, leaning back in his seat, placing both arm's behind his head, "Also, I have a thing for Indina Menzel, I think that has been mentioned a couple of times."
"Who is Tara Strong?", Twilight asked, not noticing that McGrath and Pinkie had walked up behind them.
"A great voice actress... and a total milf. Huh, I really have a thing for older women, now that I think about it...", Phoenix said, gaining a questioning look from Twilight, "A Mother I Like To F...", before he could finish, McGrath interrupted him.
"Rarity as Scarlett Johansson or Yvonne Strahovski?... Sure, I could tap that.", he said, before noticing who would play him.
"Yeah, you would make a funny couple with either of them.", Sutakira said, gaining a raised eyebrow from McGrath.
"Oh come on, your very, very short! Your just a few inches away from being a hobbit!", Phoenix added, gaining a death glare from the brunette.
Later as the Harmonic Heroes arrived at the Crystal Castle Grand Hall. "The Harmonic Heroes have arrived!", a blue haired Seraph guard announced, who seemed familiar to Skywalker.
"Huh, he looks unique compared to the other guards. He mustn't be important at all.", Griffifth noted as Celestia, Cadance, Luna, and Shining Armor where already there, they informed them that none of the other invited guest had arrived yet. Deciding to wait for them, Skywalker took up a conversation with the guard.
"Good afternoon, Ser Skywalker. I'm pretty sure you don't remember me, but we have met before.", he said as Skywalker folded his right arm over his chest while propping his left elbow up on it and placing a hand on his chin, his eyes slowly moving from the left to the right.
"Your... Flash Sentry right?", he said uncrossing his arms, gaining a awed look from Flash, "Last we met you were just a recruit, right?", he thought it wasn't possible but Flash smile became even bigger.
"Yes! It seems we both moved up in the World, huh?", Flash said as Skywalker nodded.
"Phoenix, your a guy right?", Fluttershy asked gaining a look of complete shock on the guy's face.
"I am!? Oh yeah, so what's your question?", he said with mock shock as a faint blush started to appear on Fluttershy's face.
"So, what would you do if someone told you that they loved you?", she asked with her soft voice. Gaining a raised eye brow from the red head, "Is this someone I should know about?", he asked.
"No. I mean, pretend you're a man...", the yellow one said, her blush getting bigger.
"I am a man, Sunshine. That shouldn't be too hard, but I'll give it a try.", he informed her with a cheeky grin, making the young woman stutter.
"Ahhh, that's... not what I meant. Just... pretend you're another man. And someone told you that they loved you. How would you react?", she managed to get out as he started to ponder.
"Well, that depends. Does this someone just blurt it out? Do I love them back? Come on, Sunshine! I need context!", he said, not noticing that Unity had opened a portal, "Perhaps you need to wait for the right moment? You could get him alone at his house, give Messiah a gift perhaps?"
Fluttershy had to think again who had the nickname 'Messiah', the moment she realized who he meant her blush became bigger than ever. "Oh, I wasn't talking about me... just... forget I said anything.", she said shyly, making the red head chuckle.
"Hey guys!", Anna said as she, her sister and five Arendelle guards stepped out of the portal.
"Hey you.", Phoenix said cutting off his conversation walking over to the queen.
"Hey, handsome.", Elsa replied placing a soft kiss on his lips, getting a adorable squeel from Rarity, Fluttershy and Anna.
"I missed you, you know.", he said gaining a chuckle from the blond.
"We have seen each other two days ago,", she informed him.
"I know! It's been that long!", he said dramatically, as he started to introduce everyone, "Guys, this is Elsa Targaryen... My girlfriend."
"So this is the goddess who is accomplishing it to make a honest man out of you?", McGrath asked.
And so the negotiations were underway, it didn't took long to come to an agreement to form an alliance. Much to the other Worlds surprise, they too had to deal with the Corrupted and humans dressed in similar black cloaks. "It seems we are to an agreement, when the time comes we will stand together against the coming darkness.", Celestia said as the others agreed, "Then from this day forward, let us know as the Alliance. That leave one more thing to consider, who shall lead us?", the ruler of the sun added.
The queen of Arendelle looked over at her boyfriend who gave her a nod before speaking up, "Might I suggest Ser Skywalker.", she said, gaining a surprised look from the Skywalker himself, "I have it on good authority you are a leader as well as a great 'Jedi'.", she said as Phoenix let out a chuckle, not believing his girlfriend actually thought Skywalker was a Jedi.
"I... I don't know. Is everyone okay with his?", he asked and much to his shock, they all agreed, "I will accept, together we will bring the enemies of the Worlds to justice.", he declared.
Later that night, Skywalker was standing on the balcony overlooking the courtyard, he let out a deep sigh. "Something wrong Jason?", a voiced asked him, looking behind him he saw Rainbow flying behind him.
"I don't know, Dashie. I'm just... worried, I guess.", he admitted making the Seraph laugh.
"You? The Skywalker? Worried!? About what?", she asked.
"I know I have agreed to lead this Alliance but I worry. Just because I'm good at fighting, doesn't mean I'm a good leader.", he said.
Rainbow shook her head as she petted his head, "Aw, your a good leader. Scratch that, your a great leader! Only now your decisions affect an entire Alliance.", she said gaining a chuckle from her friend.
"Not helping.", he said with a smile before messing up Rainbow's hair.
Meanwhile somewhere Phoenix and Elsa arrived back from their stroll through the gardens, arriving back at her room. "Well, here we are. Goodnight, Mon Cheri.", he said, placing a kiss on her lips before turning around.
"Kyle wait!", she said, making the red haired prankster stop in his tracks, "I... I'm not emotionally ready for... sex... But if you don't mind... Do you want to sleep with me tonight?", a blush gracing her pale cheeks. He walked back towards his girlfriend, placing his hand on her cheek.
"Elsa, I already told you. We'll go as fast as you are comfortable. I don't wanna rush you, even if we'll never get to that stage, I'm just happy to spend time with you.", he said, pressing another kiss on her lips before the two retreated to her chamber.
Skywalker could not sleep that night, so he took a stroll through the castle. Much to his surprise he came across Big Mac playing a game of Vanguard with Sutakira.
Big Mac smirked as he used a card to intercept Sutakira's attack, "Gloat all you like. I have this one."
The blunette checked for a trigger but it wasn't there, "Are you sassing me? I didn't know you had it in you.", Sutakira said as he checked for a Trigger, which wasn't there.
"Are you two playing nice?", Skywalker asked as leaning against a pillar, crossing his arms.
"Jason, you know me. I always play nice.", Sutakira answered as he passed the turn to his opponent, "Big Mac just need to come to terms with my inevitable victory. He'll feel much better.", feeling cocky he decided not to guard. That was a big mistake as Big Mac pulled a double Critical Trigger.
"Really? Because I just won. And I feel fine.", Big Mac said with a satisfied smirk.
"Please, don't get smug. There will be no living with you.", Sutakira said as he collected his cards, after saying goodnight to the two, he left to turn in for the night.
"I should turn in for the night as well...", Big Mac said as he collected his cards, "Unless you would care for a game?".
Skywalker uncrossed his arms, pulling a deck box from his pocket, "Bring it on."
Shuffling their decks, the two friends looked at each others clan, Skywalker was surprised at which deck Big Mac was playing, his large friend was not. "I never figured you for a Royal Paladin player, Big Mac.", Skywalker said as he started his turn.
"I know. Neo Nectar would fit me more, huh? I just like this playing style better. Is that the same reason you play them, Jason?", Big Mac asked, as he made his turn before passing it back to Skywalker.
"Why yes. Though it seems the two of us play different variations of the same clan.",he said and Big Mac gave a nod as he decided to guard the attack.
A few turns later, Skywalker and Big Mac were both equally matched, neither one gaining much advantage over the other. "You know, there is this rumor about AJ and McGrath's older brother...", Skywalker started as he called a unit to the Rear-Guard.
After the two friends finished their game, they decided to call it a night. As they neared their sleeping quarters, the two saw someone slipping out of Skywalker's room. One thing they noted was that in the intruders bag, the Element Of Unity was stored. "Hey you! Stop right there!", Big Mac said, making the thief flinch before she tried to make her escape.
The two friends chased after her, dodging her magic blast she send after the two, or leaping over obstacles she moved in their ways. Unbeknownst to them, Griffifth came out a door which led to Celestia's room, before being knocked over by the thief.
"The hell.", was all he could say before he saw Skywalker and Big Mac storm after the person who knocked him over, "What's going on, guys?", Griffifth asked as he joined the chase.
"Griffifth! She's got the EoU!", Big Mac explained as he leaped over another obstacle.
"How do you know the thief is a she?", Griffifth asked as he sliced an incoming cabinet in two with his claws.
"I don't know.", Skywalker exclaimed as they chased the thief into a room.
As they cornered the thief, all that was behind her was a mirror and with out hesitation, she threw her bag into mirror, which passed with a ripple effect. "What did you do?", Skywalker demanded to know as the thief looked smugly at him.
"Sorry it had to be this way!... Ser Knight.", was all she said before entering the mirror herself, before anyone could stop her. Upon hearing the commotion the other Harmonic Heroes, Spike, Celestia, Luna and Cadance arrived in their sleeping wear.
"Who was that?", Fluttershy asked as she looked bewildered at the mirror. Skywalker rolled his eyes before speaking up, "Thanks for the help guys. And yes who was that anyways?"
Not unexpected for any of them, it was Celestia who answered the question. "Sunset Shimmer, a former student of mine. She began her studies with me not long before Twilight. But when she did not get what she wanted as quickly as she liked, she turned cruel and dishonest.", the princess of the sun explained, surprising the others at the news that Celestia had an other apprentice.
"So she is kinda like McGrath?", Spike said teasingly before being slapped on the back of his head by McGrath's tail.
"I tried to help her... But she eventually decided to abandon her studies and pursue her own path, one that has sadly led to her stealing the EoH.", Celestia continued.
"Alright, let's follow her and take Unity back.", Skywalker declared as the others nodded, as the portals to the other Worlds were still open he told his friends to get the ambassadors back to their World the next day.
"You'll soon know more about this place than even I do.", Celestia told him.
"This is no ordinary mirror. It is a gateway to another World. A gateway that opens once every thirty moons.", Luna informed them, "It has always been kept in Canterlot Castle. But when Princess Cadence took over the Crystal Empire, we sent it here for her to watch over.", the princess of the moon explained, gaining a puzzled look from Phoenix.
"Why would they do that!?", he shouted before Cadence spoke up.
"Jason, you must use the mirror to go into this other World and retrieve your the EoU. Without it, we cannot open that chest and Equestria is left without one of its most important means of defense."
Phoenix shook his head before shouting, "How do YOU know that!?".
"Unity does not belong in the place Sunset Shimmer now calls home. And in her possession it will no doubt be used to bring harm to the inhabitants of this other realm. They will not have the power to defend themselves. You understand the importance of your task?", Celestia explained as Skywalker shrug his shoulders.
"Yeah, Yeah, balance of the universe, yada, yada, yada. The usual junk.", Skywalker responded as he flexed his arms, "Lets go.", as they prepared to follow him.
"I'm afraid I can't let you go.", Celestia said gaining a shocked look from the Harmonic Heroes, "Sending all of you could upset the balance of this alternate World. Creating havoc that would make it impossible for Jason to get Unity back from Sunset Shimmer and leave us defenseless against a possible attack. This is something Jason must do alone.", the ruler of the sun explained. The others were too busy protesting to notice Skywalker having an small break down at the thought of not having his friends with him.
"We're here and how much havoc did happened after that?", McGrath protested. Everybody had a few flashbacks of all the havoc that had happened ever since they had became friends.
"... Never mind...", the brunette muttered as the others relented.
"Time is of the essence. On the third month, when the moon reaches its peak in the night sky, the gateway will close, and once it does, it will be another thirty moons before you will be able to use it to return.", Luna explained, a hint of worry in her voice.
"Don't worry. Toshi, is the app ready?", Skywalker asked, his blunette friend informing him it should. Before anyone could ask what he was talking about, Skywalker had taken out his phone and pressed a button.
A few seconds later, a white rift opened and the Skybike came through it, stopping right in front of him. With one leap, Skywalker jumped on as he placed his helmet on his head. "Don't worry, I'll be back.", Skywalker said as he made his motorcycle let out a rev before riding towards the mirror, but unfortunately, Spike was admiring the bike, as one of his scales was now stuck on the seat, forcing Spike to go with him to the other World.
