Airborne was taken home that day back to the Dragon Lord's Rock. Airborne was in the throne room with Ember, Thorax, Garble, Pharynx, Spike, and Princess Twilight Sparkle. The throne room depicted very expansively, with the addition of stone flooring, walls flourished with red and purple paint, 3 colossal open windows, and enormous queen and king thrones, however, fit for the royal's proportions. There were also decorations on the walls that were from the other kingdoms which were inclusive of marble busts, floral decor, and marvelous paintings. Thorax and Ember sat on their thrones and with the other 5 standing around.

Airborne said, "Mom, dad, I need you to understand that the dream I had the other night is indeed real."

Thorax said, "Airborne, as much as we love you, it was just a dream that occurred in your slumbers. The seizure you had also was coincidental."

Ember said, "I hope you're okay, though. After dinner, I will take you to the hospital for you a checkup."

Princess Twilight said, "With all due respect, Thorax and Ember, dreams like these don't happen if Airborne's never had a seizure and the dreams are recurrent. This happened three times in slumber."

Thorax thought about it for a second and said, "You... prove a fair point there, Airborne. So, if this dream is serious, then what should we do about it?"

Spike answered to Thorax, "We have to inform Celestia and Luna- Wait. Hold on. Ugh, I'm so stupid! What if it was Luna who sent the dreams to Airborne?"

Airborne responded, "No, my powers are the reason why the dreams keep occurring. I need to respond to my powers in order for the dreams and visions to stop."

Twilight went to Airborne. She caressed the child's head saying, "I believe you. Don't worry."

Ember said, "Princess Twilight, how can you be sure this precisely isn't some pony magic enchanting my son?"

Twilight said to Ember, "There is no other reason as to why Airborne is encountering these issues. I, nor any unicorn, alicorn, or other magical creature, can not give any creature the powers of magic if the one receiving the mystical energy cannot wield it. I've only given Airborne 2 books to read which are not filled with magic."

Thorax responded to Twilight saying, "Princess Twilight, while I appreciate your concern, we know for sure our son does not practice magic."

Ember further explained, "I agree with Thorax. The principal once tried to get Airborne expelled for teaching magic to other students at my son's school in Canterlot. How ridiculous is that? I threatened the principal for messing with my son and that I would report him if he continued." She laughed while she spoke. "If Airborne was able to use magic, then I too would be able to practice magic."

Airborne sighed and then angrily said to Ember in a quiet voice. "I can too, mom. You have not seen it, though."

Ember exclaimed, "Don't lie to me, Airborne. You can't use magic."

Garble said, "Lord Ember... Airborne is indeed capable of it. The strangest thing is, he utilizes them by words."

Thorax got a bit impatient. He spoke in a more stern tone indicating that he required the conversation to be over. "Airborne can't practice magic like a sorcerer. He's not a unicorn. Magic is for to-"

Airborne declared loudly words of incantation, "Dakurai Nadishte Eloctu Feeme!" Energy from Airborne released in an omnidirectional wave causing gravity to become anti-gravity inside the room only. Everyone floats and everything floats. Ember and Thorax looked at Airborne in shock. They couldn't believe with their own eyes that their son is. Airborne said, "Desai."

Ember and Thorax sat down in their seats. Ember shouted with rage, "How did you do that?! Did the ponies charm you?"

Airborne said boldly, "No. It's-"

Thorax said with concern, "Airborne, it's alright. I recognize what's happened. I think the school bullies have magical friends and they-"

Airborne shouted, "No! I am magic! Additionally, so are you, mom!" He stopped yelling but spoke aloud, "I can not digress how important this is for me to tell you. Mom, dad, as a dragon, we come from a history of power and nature. Dragons transformed, created, and shaped the world along with the ponies and changelings. The 3 races were the strongest and they created other animals too. But you don't seem to know full dragon history, mom. Grandpa Torch never taught you that, nor did anyone, did they?"

Ember looked down, then at Thorax, and said, "No. But that doesn't give you the excuse to talk to me this way, son."

Thorax said, "Don't talk to your mother that way, ever. Airborne, you know better!"

Airborne said, "But dad, you don't know changeling history either! I learned the fullest of both stories and I can assure you, histories of the changelings and the dragons were erased! I now know I have magical powers that I study and develop. Then, I teach my knowledge to other dragon and changeling students! And unicorns too. The book of Unity, that I read, taught me so many things no one else knows! Changelings and dragons today don't get along well. We haven't seen much activity of that, but you and I both know they are not a balanced and consolidated tribe. I am a fusion of both changelings and dragons. Both tribes hate me. The changelings despise me and the dragons reject me. Most dragons at least. I have one dragon friend and a good family that accepts me, but no other race of mine does. I'm sick of it. Mom, dad, I want to reform both races to understand each other and me. And I'm going to do that by doing it the way I know is best."

Ember and Thorax could not begin to believe the extraordinary development of their son. They looked at each other and discussed it over. Spike was shocked by all of this and he looked at Airborne with such enthusiasm, passion, and hope. Garble looked at Airborne happily. Pharynx did the same. Twilight looked at Airborne and believed in his words. Ember and Thorax finished conversing and looked at Airborne. Thorax said, "We believe you. And… this may be complex… but you may do as you need to unite both races. You must unite the races of dragon and changeling."

Airborne smiled and said, "Thanks."

Spike said, "Alright, Airborne. You're coming with us to the Crystal Empire."

Garble said, "I was going with them too. We need all the help we can get to fend off against King Sombra."

Airborne replied with surprise saying, "Wow! I am?!"

"You've demonstrated a greater maturity ever since you've read that book," Twilight said. "We would be more than happy if you came along." Airborne we to Twilight for a hug, and a soft head nuzzle to her chest. She hugged back as well.

Airborne said, "Then let's go… but… don't you have friends? What about the Elements of Harmony?"

Ember said, "Airborne, the Elements of Harmony are locked away in the tree. It's not like they're always going to be used."

Spike said, "What if it required primordial powers on accessible by Airborne, you, and Thorax?"

Twilight said, "Possibly. Which… I guess we should all head over there. But Lord Ember and King Thorax do need someone to watch Dragon Canyon."

Spike said, "Aww man. I guess I could watch it."

Pharynx said, "I'll take charge of the Changelings then."

Ember and Thorax both nodded and stepped down from their thrones. They walked to the 2 and walked next to Airborne.

Ember spoke, "Let's get going. Those 2 can rule our tribes until we get back. However," she got intense, "you both better not ruin anything or else your heads will be on my wall!" Spike nervously nodded in understanding why Pharynx growled at her without fear. The 2 then sat on Ember and Thorax's thrones. Ember and Thorax went to the other 3: Garble, Airborne, and Twilight. The 5 left that very moment as well.

The 5 flew straight for the train station of Ponyville. It was a casual train station with a giant boxed room. The train station was a wood flooring that was slightly raised from the ground. There was a giant train rail parallel to the train station. Airborne waited for the train to come while he stood on the very end of the train station, the part where the train should be coming. Ember quickly came over and pulled him back.

Ember said, "Don't do that." She gave him a scolding look and Airborne tensed a bit. She then gave him a nuzzling hug. "You sure you are ready to go? You aren't afraid of getting hurt?"

Twilight came over as well. She did have something to say to Ember, but she listened to Airborne say to his mother that "I'm not frightened. I've been beaten up plenty of times to get used to it."

Twilight only giggled a bit. She then turned to Ember and said, "Do you mind if I narrate a story of Airborne while we wait?"

Ember said, "Sure."

Twilight began, "Well, it all started when Airborne was around… I guess… 6 years old. He was a young changeling-dragon and was in dire need of some help. This one day, he got lost in Canterlot as he left the school. He wasn't supposed to leave, but he ran away due to being bullied for his looks. The dragons hated him, the changelings despised him, and ponies didn't want to be his friend. Not even the griffon, hippogriffs, and other creatures wanted to acknowledge the poor child. I was already studying for the school was I was taking charge of. When he wandered around Canterlot trying to find his way home, I found him. We met at this square where many creatures looked at him. The square was an open place of an open market with fancy stores. Ponies were throwing food and trash at the changeling-dragon because they didn't understand what he was and how he came to be. I was the only one who came up and stood up for Airborne. I told every pony to stop doing such a thing and never do it again. I used my magic to pick up Airborne and float towards me. I put the child on my back and flew off to my castle. When I arrived there, I went inside to set him in a chair in the room with the crystal map of Equestria. I summoned a wet towel with my magic and gave it to him. Turning away for privacy and keeping a good distance, I allowed the child to clean himself off. I asked him, where he came from, who he was, and why they were throwing food at him because I didn't know at the time that people hated his form. That's why the ponies threw food, but I didn't know that was the reason. He told me that his name was Airborne; he was a changeling-dragon hybrid, and that he was from Dragon Canyon. He also told me he should have been at the school since the time then was currently 12 o clock. He explained to me that he ran away from the school because the bullies at school messed with him and hurt him. It made him feel even worse knowing that grown ponies despised him. I felt so awful when I heard the knees. When he finished cleaning himself off, I went to him and I just cried while giving him a hug. I couldn't help but feel so awful for the child. In fact, I offered for him to join my school instead of going there. He refused to do that, and I kept insisting. I didn't want him to suffer anymore and that he would be a great addition to my school. He told me his parents refused to send him to my school because they already sent dragons there and that he would rather have their child have a better education at the school in Canterlot. I didn't wanna believe it, but he told me that's why. I still continued to hug and cry. Eventually, I patched him up and personally escorted him home. And you know the ending, Ember, right?"

Ember said, "I… I do…" She had a sad tone in her voice. "You know… I never understood why you cared for my son. Now I do and thank you dearly, princess."

Twilight said, "I never told you the whole story of how I met Airborne because I felt it was my duty to be a second mother to Airborne, or at least… an affectionate mother once again."

Ember asked Twilight, " I have one question. Why couldn't have Spike offer Garble to live with you? Don't you and Spike live together?"

The alicorn responded, "Spike… I… he uhhh… well, he hasn't lived with me ever since he was 13, which was actually 5 years ago. It was also when Airborne was six. Spike progressively changed in that period."

Ember said, "What are you talking about?"

Twilight said relatively timid, "He had to leave. I forced Spike out of my castle after uncovering his secret. It was very shocking to me."

"What was the secret," Airborne asked Twilight.

"Spike was," Twilight started, "not like the rest of the dragons. He came out to me when he was 13. However, I was the only one at the time who knew he was gay."

Airborne said, "That explains his character. I remember on Thanksgiving uncle Spike was talking strangely about his feelings toward Garble."

Ember asked, "Did you promptly kick him out for being gay?"

Twilight responded, "No, Ember. I didn't actually kick Spike out because he was gay. I kicked him out because the intimate relationship he had with someone caused him to change. I couldn't help but feel as if he was doing something that went against who he was."

Airborne asked eagerly, "Twilight, what exactly happened?"

Twilight responded with anguish, "A griffon Spike had as a longtime boyfriend, whom I shall not name, caused him to become darker. When I say dark, I typically meant in personality and character. Spike went around town flipping off anyone whom he universally despised, stole things from others and stores, and vandalized property. I had not known he had done such things until the entire town came to me in a complaint. I undoubtedly had to realize all of Ponyville that Spike was gruesome to others and had a toxic relationship with the griffon. One day, I talked soothingly to Spike about this in private. I told him about the town justly complaining to me about his actions. Spike told me, 'Twilight, if you so happen to despise our relationship, I would appreciate you keeping your feelings out of it. I'm fine, and no one got injured.' I pleaded of Spike to listen. I told him, 'Spike, I am happy you are in a relationship with someone you love, but I can not accept the delinquency you are causing. I do not want you to end up on bad terms permanently with everyone in Ponyville and ruin your future. You know I love you and that I want to ensure your happiness is fulfilled, but I do not desire for you to follow a path of darkness. I'm sorry, Spike, but you are unallowed to see Ingram until you realize what your actions have caused."'

Airborne was deeply engaged in the story. He asked, "And then what happened?"

Twilight took a deep breath looking down at the flooring. "I'm..." she began answering. "I... well... Spike didn't listen. At least for a short time he did, but he quickly fell deeper in love with Ingram as he was kept away from the griffon. I didn't understand how much he loved him until he grew from intense greed. This one night, he was filled with intense love and passion that his body grew exponentially. In many profound ways, I've witnessed Spike show passion, but for such greed, it completely darkened his heart. When grew, he intentionally broke through my castle in his bedroom and stormed through Ponyville, and out of Ponyville, he stormed to Griffonstone. Before he could ever reach Griffonstone, I had to use my alicorn magic to stop him at whatever ultimate cost. And so I did, but the damage done to Ponyville forced me to exile Spike..." Twilight sincerely stopped talking but just turned her head away. She soon walked away not wanting to say another word. She soon was now on one end of the train station.

Interestingly, Garble heard it all. He was utterly eavesdropping as he was standing next to Thorax and a few meters away from Twilight, Airborne, and Ember. Garble looked at Thorax and said. "I had… no idea Spike was… he felt… That means he likes me then. I now understand why he's been acting so close to me."

Thorax just shrugged saying, "I don't care if Spike feels that way about anyone. Though, I do wonder, why have we never had any of those frequently… not even occasionally… not like they all have to come out, though."

Garble replied, "Homosexual dragons are too afraid to be open about their sexuality. No dragon, in Dragon Canyon, will be accepted as gay or bi. The dragons are more homophobic than your race of changelings, Thorax."

Thorax asked, "Are you serious? I thought all dragons relished with equality."

Garble said, "That's untrue, Thorax. Do you know the dragon bullies with the names, Fizzle and Fume? They are people who hate gays. Dragons like those two spread news of any dragon they find out who is like that. I… uhh… even harmed a few in my time for that. I'm different now so… please don't be-"

Thorax patted Garble's back. "You don't have to worry about the past now, Garb."

Ember spoke to Airborne, "I can't believe I ever let you near Spike. Ugh. He's never going to interact with you again."

Airborne asked Ember, "Mom, uncle Spike never did anything to me. He hasn't hurt me in any way. I don't get it. Why do you say that?"`

Ember said, "He may be a dragon, your best friend, and your uncle, but I don't care whether he is nice or not. He can't influence his disease on you. He's gay, and I don't want that kind of infection near you."

Airborne walked away groaning. He walked to Garble. "Garble, do you agree with my mother?" Airborne asked.

Garble said in anger, "She's the Dragon Lord; I must abide by her laws. I do say, though, it isn't right. Spike shouldn't be persecuted by Ember for being gay. I would never treat Spike this way. He's been nothing but kind to me."

Airborne looked at his mother in a bit of sadness, grief, and despair. He couldn't help but walk away into the train station room. Inside the room was a large, open space; it had a high ceiling and a white floor. There were also both to take and give tickets, and a bar that was open for drinks. Airborne went and sat at the bar. He then looked at one. It had high stools and drinks of many variations. A unicorn, yellow and taller than average with a slim, muscular build, approached Airborne asking, "How may I help you today?"

Airborne said depressingly, "Nothing... I just want to sit here and think." He lied his head on the bar, sinking into deeper thought. The unicorn urged Airborne on trying to get him to at least order some water. "No… Well, actually yes. I would like a cup of water." The wait left that moment to fill a glass. "I don't know if… should I be… Spike… if he was gay and he didn't come out to me, then…" The glass of water was set down in front of him. Airborne observed the glass. "I… I'm sorry, mister… I don't have any money… I think my parents outside do."

The unicorn nodded. "I don't want your money. I want to know if you're alright."

Airborne looked up at the unicorn waiter. He saw the blue eyes of the unicorn stare at him as if he was waiting for hours to hear an answer. "I… I'm alright," Airborne said. "It's just… dragons are strange to me."

The unicorn asked, "Aren't you a dragon yourself?"

"Yes, but they have strict customs," started the changeling-dragon. "We are supposed to be strong brutes without showing much love. Dragons are to never cry, but I cry all the time. Am I even apart of that tribe? I may have the magic of a dragon, but I have the attitude of a metamorphosed changeling." He shifted his eyes toward the glass. He used his claw to sluggishly pull the cup closer to his mouth. Slowly lifting his head, he drank from the cup slowly sipping it. "If… I'm a dragon, do I understand how to be a dragon? Does it mean following their customs still or just… look like a dragon? I don't know who I am as a dragon even while I learn about friendship."

The unicorn asked, "Is this your problem or is someone else affecting you? What is really going on?"

Airborne said, "I know of a dragon who's… well… into the same gender and he could be persecuted for it. I'm afraid… my mother knows, though. She doesn't like him anymore."

The unicorn laughed a bit. "I know you are Airborne, the changeling-dragon. I met you the first time we've seen you in Ponyville. And you are a private student of Princess Twilight. Are you talking about Spike? Wait… is he the one who is gay?"

Airborne said, "Ugh… Please don't spread any news…" He looked around to make sure that no one was around to hear this. However, he was the only one inside.

"Well, if you believe it's unfair, why do you think so?" the waiter continued.

"Because… I don't know…" Airborne said.

"Sure about that?" asked the waiter.

Airborne thought about his answer for a moment and said, "I… I don't… Maybe it's because I think that just… I don't even understand. My parents want me to be nice and make friends, but why in the world am I learning from my friends and family that being gay makes someone so… disgusting? I don't mind if he is gay."

"Well," the waiter said, "some people condemn what they can not understand. Do the dragons hate people like your uncle?"

Airborne replied with, "Yes, but now my own mother, Dragon Lord Ember, knows my uncle is gay. This entire fiasco is going being harder on me, my family, and especially Spike."

The waiter saw someone come up from behind. He tapped Airborne's shoulder as he was also pointing towards the incoming person. A voice spoke, "Spike's gay. Understand that, son. You don't want everyone to hate you even more than they do."

Airborne looked at Ember. The changeling-dragon's once tranquil eyes were not possessed by strong, begrudging anguish; his former poignant temper transformed as his eyes transitioned from blue to red. Ember's facial expression showed perplexity. "What is your problem?" yelled Airborne. "I've been hated for a long of things. No pony, but only dragons, hate gays. No changelings hate gays." He declared even further, "I will never understand why you despise Spike! Never!" The changeling-dragon ran out of the room. He saw the train and quickly stormed on board. The others watched Airborne go in there and Ember, she could gaze at her son storm away. Soon, everyone else entered the train. Airborne was alone on a seat far from the rest. Princess Twilight came over after letting Airborne sulk for minutes. She sat next to him, reaching her wing over his shoulder.

"You don't hate me, do you?" Twilight asked worriedly.

Airborne replied with a quiet, "no." He looked down and put his head sadly on her chest. "I can never hate you. I love you too much."

Twilight said, "Your dragon customs... Are they what divide you as a person?"

Airborne said, "In a way they do. In a way, they don't. I'm excelling with intense thrills of knowledge. I love learning spells. I love fire-breathing. I love... so much about all that I've learned. If my mother hates gays, then what will Spike do? How will I see him?"

Twilight said soothingly, "I don't know, Airborne. You'll be okay, though. You've efficiently endured through formidable trials, tests, and tribulations in your life; this current situation will never hinder you. I believe in you. Always. Every so often, you feel like my very own child. I wish I could have helped Spike in ways I likely didn't. In a unique way, you've enlightened me to grow up strong and forgive myself for things I've traditionally done. I will always be there for you, Airborne; I always will and never will fail you, like I did Spike."

The changeling-dragon closed his eyes waiting for the train ride to be over. In comfort, he felt Twilight's soft fur rub against his face, like a child hugged against a mother's bosom. He continued resting until he slept.

There was arguing behind him, and Airborne could hear it when he woke up to it. Thorax argued with Ember, "Ember, Spike is Airborne's uncle and he is good at heart. You can't just separate him from his uncle! That's unfair in itself."

Ember said angrily, "As the Dragon Lord, I can declare that Spike is to never see Airborne again. We can just parent our child from there on."

Thorax responded with, "I genuinely don't want our son separated from his most beloved friend! That best friend defended our son and rescued him to safety one time. He's been there for Airborne plenty of times, and time again, we can't thank Airborne enough. All of that can't be thrown away. Additionally, so what if he is gay? He isn't hurting anyone!"

The Dragon Lord stamped her foot and aimed her scepter at Thorax shouting, "Don't question a dragon's customs. We have a very strict set of folkways."

Thorax said with passionate rage aiming his mighty horns, "Airborne is also half changeling. He can live by a changeling's rules too. He isn't a complete dragon. Do you have a problem with that, like you always have?"

Ember quickly stopped her scepter and turned away from Thorax. She then immediately walked into another train car.

Airborne had his eyes open during the conversation. He got up and went to Thorax. He looked up at him asking, "Did she has a hard time excepting I was a hybrid?"

Thorax said, "No. It isn't like that, Airborne. She has a hard time excepting the fact that you are rejected by her own subjects. I feel the same way. She wants you to be like other dragons because she wants you to fit in, not because you embarrass her. Do you understand? I feel the same pain your mother does... We argue about this from time to time. It scares us to wonder if you'll ever make friends."

Airborne then looked down. "So that's why she rejects Spike... She doesn't detest him either, does she?"

Thorax nuzzled down on Airborne's neck. He places the child on his back. "No. She wants you to just be accepted. That's all. In her way, this is how she wants it done. She merely desires you to fit in."

Airborne said, "Let's talk to her, then."

The 2 entered the same cart as Ember and witnessed her sitting by herself at a table. They went to her booth walking to her slowly. Airborne hopped off Thorax's back and walked to her. He lovingly rubbed his mother's hand with his nose and lifted it. "Mom, I'm sorry for yelling at you."

Ember said, "It's okay, Airborne. It's my fault. Everything is."

Airborne said, "No. Right now, I finally understand."

"Understand what?" she asked.

"You love me so much that you hate to see me rejected by your race," started Airborne. "I want to be accepted by the dragons; I do have 2 of them as friends at school. Spike and B'Zerk are my dragon friends, and if you take Spike away, I will lose the greatest friend I've ever had."

Ember said, "I'm so sorry. I shouldn't have tried making you get rid of him as a friend. I shouldn't have said anything like that. Airborne, I'm delighted that you have friends and I'm most dearly grateful you're happy. I just can't stand the thought of my tribe continuously rejecting you."

Airborne said, "Don't worry about me. I'll unite them some day. You have to trust me, mom. Don't change me, help me grow."

Ember smiled back and nuzzled her. "I love you, Airborne."

Airborne hugged her back. "I love you, too."

Later, they reached the Crystal Empire. They exited the train, entering the boardwalk of the train station, and saw a giant city with many building made of crystal that surrounded the castle. The castle reached the height of a skyscraper. They were in various colors and heights. They can see the many different colors from where they stood off of the train. However, the moment they looked at the castle, the castle exploded from the top of it where the throne room should be. The explosion had a shockwave that had 2 Alicorns and a unicorn in the air. One Alicorn flew straight for the group. She was very light pink, had purple and blue hair that was big and curly. She descended, landing next to the group. She partially crashed as she landed, and Airborne went to the fallen girl helping her up. "Are you alright?" he asked the alicorn.

Twilight approached as well. "What happened, Flurryheart? Where's your father?"

Flurryheart pants as she slowly stood up. "It's King Sombra... he took-" She lied completely on Airborne. Airborne had no choice but to pull out his book of Unity.

Twilight asked, "You brought that with you?"

Airborne said, "I never leave home without it."

Twilight spoke to the entire group, "King Thorax and Lord Ember, we need to investigate the battle that is occurring in the sky. Garble, you lead the children to the hospital just for their safety." Everyone nodded. Twilight and Airborne's parents flew straight toward the crystal palace.

Airborne read aloud a spell from his book, "Hias horrona albio sinuna!" Magical energy flowed from the changeling-dragon to Flurryheart. The alicorn child stood up. She was now seen to be as tall as Airborne. "Feeling better?"

Flurryheart responded, "What did you do to me?"

Airborne replied, "I healed you. Took some of my strength, but I'll be okay."

Garble came over and patted Airborne's head. "You must be exhausted after all of that. We need to get you to safety."

Flurryheart said, "Thank you... what's your name?"

Airborne said, "My name is Airborne. I'm a changeling-dragon and son of King Thorax and Dragon Lord Ember."

Explosions appeared in the air. They came from the top of the tower as there was a large battle going on. Soon, the battle came to a standstill. There was no movement in the air as two alicorns, a dragon, one unicorn, and one changeling stood hovered above the castle. Airborne, Garble, and Flurryheart looked in the direction of the castle and saw many crystal ponies fleeing. Their screams of horror ran wild in the air. Airborne flew up a bit wanting to go towards them, but Garble pulled Airborne down for a hug. "I'm not letting you go up there. Are you out of your mind?" exclaimed Garble.

Airborne said, "They need help. I can't just sit here."

Garble said, "We all have a part to play in this. We can't just go into battle. Your parents will be okay, don't worry, and Twilight will make it through the battle. Now we have to go! Now, Airborne!" Flurryheart hovered into the air.

"I am not letting my mother fight alone," Flurryheart demanded. "I'm going there!"

Garble groaned. "No. No means no! And I don't want you both to get hurt on my watch."

"I'm going!" exclaimed Flurryheart.

Garble got furious. "And deny Princess Twilight's orders and cause more issues to stir from your bad decision making? Really? Do you want your mother to know you got hurt or worse?! This is not the time to be the hero. We follow orders!"

Airborne and Flurryheart groaned. Garble released Airborne allowing him to fly. The 2 descended to the ground, and they all head to the Crystal Empire hospital.
