A/N: Sorry for the late update.

School's been taking up my whole week and I've been focusing on that.

Nonetheless I present: Frostbite Part 2

Night Light sighed. "I-I just don't know..."

"What do you mean?"

"He had a visit from two Royal Soldiers, then his presence was requested by the Her Highness. Only for them to play it off and act as if there was nothing wrong."

Sunspot. The man Night Light was talking to while they sat beneath an umbrella right in Night Light's Backyard. He had light orange hair and pale yellow skin. He was about the same height as his friend. He arched his eyebrow. "What about the Energy Levels caught by the radar?"

Night Light replied. "Well they didn't find anything out of the ordinary. The only thing they found was a community led by a separate Monarch. By someone called Thorax. They said that nothing had happened out of the ordinary while they were around and was most likely just the Radar picking up all their Energy use at once."

Sunspot stroked his chin to hearing that. "Man, and they said your Radar was the best of the best."

Night Light let out a sigh. Placing his palm on his forehead. Leaning forward and putting his head down. "Don't remind me..."

Sunspot chuckled. Patting Night Light on the head. "Ey come on buddy. I mean it couldn't be worse. Remember the time during training camp? You know our first year as Privates and you accidentally set a table on fire?"

Night Light groaned. "Again. don't remind me."

Sunspot chuckled at his friend. Shaking his head. Leaning back in his chair and folding his arms. "So how's Shining and Twi been? I only saw Shining at the Parent-Teacher Conference and Twilight's out with her friends all so often I barely get to see the little rascal!"

Night Light cocked his head up to face his friend. "Twi's been good for the most part. I mean usually she's in her room studying for a test a few months in advance but she seems to be doing well. Shining is doing so much more better as the years go by. Man I feel like it was just yesterday I had to drag him into a survival camp just to discipline him."

Sunspot again chuckled at that. Nodding. "Yeah gotta say, I don't what you did to him and the other two but I swear overnight they were completely different people."

Night Light shrugged. Smugly smirking. "You can thank me later. But speaking of which how's your kids?"

Sunspot stretched his arms before replying. "Well Sunburst just celebrated his seventh birthday over the weekend, that was fun. Uh Spitfire's been studying crazy for the final exam up ahead and Sunset. Well, she's been trying to fly for a few days now."

Night Light arched an eyebrow. "You mean she's struggling?"

"Yeah she's kind of having a problem trying to steer her Energy in that direction. It's been trial and error for her but she's only managed to get off the ground a few times. After a few seconds she comes back down and well that's kind of it."

Night light stroked his chin to that. It definitely wasn't the first time he'd heard of something like that. Having instructed multiple people during his time as General. He took a breather. Before replying. "Y'know if you want I could help her out. See where's she's kinda messin' things up."

Sunspot however. He politely declined the request. "No, No. That won't really be necessary Night Light I mean come on. Haven't you done enough for everyone?"

Night Light again shrugged. "Well doing good is in our code. Remember?"

Sunspot chuckled before shrugging as well. "How could I forget. I watched you instruct Privates on their first day of Royal Solider training. You had a slideshow and speech and everything. But still, I'm sure she'll manage."

Night Light, respected the decision. Before replying to that. "Well just know our door is practically opened for her. I mean she's like a daughter to me."

Sunspot broke out into a laugh because of that. Before responding. "You said that about Bow's child, Snap's kid and practically everyone who was on the Royal Army. Heck who know's maybe even everyone's kid at this point."

However. That made Night Light's smile fade. He frowned, his eyes narrowed as he glanced towards the table. "Well, not everyone..."

That was enough to wipe Sunspot's enthusiastic expression off his face. As it became a more confused one. "What?"

Night light sighed. Looking up at his friend. "Y'know. The exception?"

Sunspot's eyes widened a little. Finally catching on. "Oh!" He immediately frowned. Finally realizing who they were referring to. "Him..."

Night light folded his arms. "Yeah. Him..." He frowned even more. "You know, when my son heard that he was gonna be enrolled into his first ever class. I nearly urged him to transfer schools."

"But you didn't."

"Yup. And what makes things even worse is that Shining actually talks highly of the boy. I didn't even think that was possible."

Sunspot was a little baffled to that. "He? He talked highly about that boy?"

"He believes that this kid can make something of himself one day if steered in the right direction." Night Light shook his head. The mere conversation about 'Him' was pretty sickening. "I think he had picked it up from me when I helped him out during his youth."

Sunspot folded his arm. "That boy is nothing more then a pest. He's wasting his time."

"Yeah I know. Just wish he could see it." He sighed shaking his head. "But nonetheless it doesn't matter. Let's just change shall we?"

Sunspot nodded in agreeance. "Yeah."

Flash and Haruki walked inside the Longhouse in which he, his parents and grandparents called home. Walking through the curtain. Immediately as he did, feeling a little warmness upon entrance.

The interior mainly showed the exterior. The wooden logs that more or less made up the structure. The exterior also showed many wooden beams holding up the roof. Wooden shelves where they placed their necessities. Everything was primarily made of wood. Due to the area surrounding them. The floor was made from animal fur carpeting. Making it soft and warm.

Again, it was something Flash had never seen before. And it was a detail he was sure to write in his journal as soon as he got the chance. Still though, complimenting Haruki's home. "Man gotta say, this is a nice place you got. It's not like anything I've ever seen before."

Haruki nodded earnestly to that. "Thanks."

Taking off their shoes. The two made their way near a carpet in where Haruki and his family would usually sit at. The two plopped down on the ground. Where the conversated further.

"So uh, I'm gonna take it you guys don't really use technology or whatnot."

Haruki nodded. "Yup, Technology just a waste of space. I mean, half the stuff it can do we can already do ourselves. So we don't really have any use for it. But uh, I'm gonna take it you came from a big city. Right?"

Flash nodded in response of that. Beaming at Haruki. "Yup. Canterlot City." Upon realizing the place that shall not be named. He frowned a little. Letting out a huge sigh as his hatred for Canterlot was still very strong. So he changed the subject, trying to sound as enthusiastic as can be. "But uh...more about your place...Um what was it called again."

"Frostbite." Haruki changed his tone. Going from enthusiastic to more of a story telling type of expression. "Our city is named after the great monster that lives in the Shredded Flake Caves."

Flash, widened his eyes to that information. Acting on instinct. He quickly grabbed his Journal and pen. Opening a new and fresh page. Writing as Quickly as possible. Writing on the top,

FROSTBITE Case Study

Entry 2; Frostbite Species:

Before looking back up at Haruki. Gesturing him to continue forward. "Go on."

"Well, The Frostbite is known as the Shredded Flakes Guardian. As he guards the caves. Making sure no one enters deep in the caves as it's his home. But if anyone dared to enter Shredded Flakes and disturb the Frostbite's slumber. Then they would never be seen again."

Flash grinned as he was getting all this info for his journal. "Man this is some good stuff!" He looked up at Haruki. "Does anyone know what the Frostbite looks like?"

Haruki shook his head. "Well, judging by the drawings made from our ancestors. The Frostbite is said to look like an Icy Blue giant Tiger, complete with black stripes. But it's said his roar is reptilian like. But that's not even his most grueling feature." Haruki got a little closer. "His most grueling feature is his mouth and jaw. From the drawings, his Jaw is said to be wide and his teeth are razor-sharp. Sharper then any blade or icicle ever seen. So much so that it's rumored he could bite through solid stone."

Flash had gotten all the info he needed from that. This would definitely get him some extra marks.

It was there, Haruki finally asked what was up with the Journal. "Uh, hey if you don't mind me asking. Uh, why are you writing this down?"

Flash looked up at Haruki. Answering him. "Well, this is gonna be a long story but uh. Remember how I said I was looking for some sort of treasure." With a nod from Haruki. Flash delved deeper. "Well, I came by because uh...my compass device thing led me here. You see I go wherever my treasure compass map tells me to. And well, I'm actually supposed to be at school for this week but uh because of this whole treasure thing my teacher allowed me to go on this quest. But he also put me on the condition that I write down whatever my environment is as a way to make up for me missing this really short unit I have."

Haruki nodded. But before he could speak. His grandfather spoke from the distance.

"That treasure, It wouldn't happen to be one of the Dragon Balls. Would it?" The latter widened their eyes from being startled. Glancing to their left they saw Haruki's Grandfather, Grandmother and his Parents. All entering the longhouse.

Flash stood up slowly. Shocked that someone other than him or The Changelings had any knowledge of the Dragon Balls. He responded to his grandfather. Bewildered. "Yeah-Uh-How did you..."

Haruki's Grandfather sighed. Walking over to Sentry. "My boy. You do not know of the dangerous journey you have set off on. The Dragon Balls placement is inevitable! It could be in some of the most dangerous areas." He stopped. Standing right in front of Flash. With Flash standing a little taller than the elder. "I know about these orbs through the legend left by the creators of the Dragon Balls themselves. It is the most common ancient scroll that can be found. However, only those who have the right Ki ability can decode the ancient writings of the scrolls."

Both Flash and Haruki's grandfather took a seat. The rest of Haruki's relatives approached them. With Haruki's Mother and Father taking a seat next to their son whilst the Grandmother took a seat next to her husband.

Flash took a breath. Before responding. "You mean there's more Ki Abilities?"

Haruki's dad spoke up. "Our Latent Energy has endless possibilities. Our ancestors passed down this knowledge to each generation. That's why Ki is our primary tool. It's because it helps us get most tasks done."

Haruki's Grandmother finally asked the big question. Why Flash was embarking on the quest he did. Knowing full well of what the Dragon Balls could do. Her voice was a little soft but it had a tiny bit of raspiness. "Why are you on the quest of Finding the Dragon Balls? What exactly is it that you want to quench from them?"

Flash took a sharp glance to the floor. He didn't exactly want to state his cause fully. Every time he thinks about it, he can feel his anger grow more and more. So he gave them a half truth. "I'm seeking knowledge. Something that any book hasn't given me."

Haruki's mother placed her hand under her chin. She could sense the anger within Flash upon hearing her mother ask him that question. Feeling how his Ki was swelling and swelling. Boiling almost. Making him such an easy target to take out if he were to find the wrong people. "I can sense the anger in you boy. Something tells me that you're journey is fueled by a grudge you hold."

Flash clenched his fists. He had no intent of anything hostile. But still, he wasn't liking the fact that the lady was right. He frowned even more. Not responding.

Haruki's Grandfather too sensed the anger within Flash. So it prompted one final question from him. One that was most important. "This 'knowledge' you seek. What impact will it have if you were to attain it?"

Flash clench tightened a little more. This was the hard part to answer. He let out a very, very heavy sigh. Before loosening his clutch. Responding. "If I were to attain this knowledge. Then the biggest mystery in my life would finally be solved." He looked up at everyone. "Who my family was."

Haruki's Grandmother tilted her head up. A little earnest of what she had heard. "Is that all?"

Flash nodded slowly. "The grudge I hold is against my own hometown of Canterlot. Everybody around me knew something about my family that I hadn't until just recently."

Haruki's Grandfather narrowed his eyes on the teen. Again, feeling the anger within Flash grow. He would ask him one final question. Have you found any others?"

Flash proceeded to pull out the three he had found. The Two Star, Seven Star and Five Star. Putting each down in front of him. The whole family all marveled at the three orbs that he had found. Looking just like the drawings from the scrolls.

Haruki's Grandfather let out a long sigh. "Do you know where the Dragon Ball you seek for is?"

Flash nodded. Taking out the Dragon Radar, he turned it on. For a moment it stunned the family, having not actually seen any tech before.

Flash showed them the radar of the Dragon Radar. Pointing at the blinking Green Circle. The one that was in close proximity. "It seems to be here. Just a little far north west."

Both Haruki and his Father narrowed their eyes. They did have plans to go hunting earlier. Haruki glanced at Flash. Suggesting an idea. "Hey, we were going Hunting before you came around. You wouldn't mind if we came along with you while we go hunting. Would you?"

Flash shrugged. Not really minding at all. "Sure I guess. I might as well just grab the Dragon Ball and be on my Mary way."
