Hey everypony! It's me, Sunblast X and welcome to chapter 2 of my story. Now let's start shall we? Chapter 2: The elements of Harmony part 2
Nightmare Moon laughed evilly.
"Seize her! Only she knows where the princess is!" the mayor shouted. Two Pegasi guards charged for Nightmare moon.
"Stand back, you foals!" she said with glowing eyes, blinding them, stopping them mid-flight. She laughed as everypony screamed. She turned back into her mist form and flew outside.
"Come back here!" Rainbow Dash shouted as she chased after her. I then saw Twilight run out, so I decided to follow her.
-Golden Oaks library-
"Huh, so this is where Celestia sent her to stay" I said as I stood outside, watching at Twilight pace in a circle through the window.
"Ugh! How can I stop Nightmare Moon without the Elements of Harmony?" I heard Twilight say, although it was hard to hear with the window blocking the sound. The Elements of Harmony? But those are just legends… aren't they?
"And just what are the Elements of Harmony? And how did you know about Nightmare Moon, huh? Are you a spy?" Rainbow Dash interrogated her. Ok, how the hell did Rainbow Dash get in there? I then saw she was being held down to the ground by her tail by the orange earth pony I saw earlier.
"Simmer down, Sally. She ain't no spy. But she sure knows what's going on. Don't you, Twilight?" the orange pony asked her as Fluttershy, the pink pony, and the white unicorn also walked in. ok, where the hell are they coming from?
"I read all about the prediction of Nightmare Moon. Some mysterious objects called the Elements of Harmony are the only things that can stop her, but I don't know what they are, where to find them; I don't even know what they do!" Twilight told them. Twilight is looking for them, yet she doesn't even know what they do? Now that's Irony.
"'The Elements of Harmony: A Reference Guide'" the pink pony said.
"How did you find that?!" Twilight asked in a surprised tone.
"It was under "E"!" the pink pony said in a sing-song voice
"Oh" Twilight said. Ha! Twilight, you just got schooled. "There are 6 Elements of Harmony, but only five are known: Kindness, Laughter, Generosity, Honesty and Loyalty" she listed 5 of the 6 Elements of Harmony. "The sixth is a complete mystery. It is said; the last known location of the five elements was in the ancient castle of the royal pony sisters" Sisters? Is the book talking about…? "It is located in what is now… the Everfree forest!" she said, causing everypony in the room to gasp.
"Huh, the Everfree forest, what are the odds?" I asked myself.
"The Everforest?! I saw a Pegasus pony go in there yesterday, and he never came back" I heard Fluttershy say in fear while shaking, knowing she was talking about me. I saw everypony gulp. Well no shit! Of course I didn't come back, I flew out!
"Alright everypony… let's go" Twilight said, and then led everypony out of the library. Standing next to the side of the house, I watched them as they left. But at that very moment, Twilight stopped and looked behind herself. I guess she had a feeling that I was watching her, so I hid in the bushes before she could even notice me. After a few seconds I popped my head out of the bushes and saw all six of them walk off, so I decided to follow them.
-Outside of the Everfree forest-
I hid in the bushes again and watched them.
"The Everfree forest!" I heard them all say, pretty much spooked. Seriously, it's just a stupid forest; I don't know what everypony's so scared of.
"Whee! Let's go!" the pink pony said. Well, at least one of them has the guts to go in.
"Not so fast. Look, I appreciate the offer, but I'd really rather do this on my own" I heard Twilight say, which caused me to mentally sigh and roll my eyes.
"No can do, sugarcube. We sure ain't lettin' any friend of ours go into that creepy place alone. We're stickin' to you like caramel on a candy apple" the orange one told her as they walked in.
"Especially if there's candy apples in there" the pink one said, which caused me to give a confused look. I saw Twilight do the same. "What? Those things are good" she said as she literally bounced into the forest. Why do I get the feeling things are going to be weird with that one? I shook my head to clear my mind. I looked ahead and noticed that they were gone.
"Damn! I lost them" I said as I hopped out of the bushes. "Well, I guess I have to find them by myself" I said.
-Inside the forest-
I was in the forest. Unlike the last time I was here, this time it was night and the forest was darker. Fortunately the light of the moon made it less dark. I was walking until I noticed hoofprints on the ground, several to be exact. I followed the tracks, until they had came to an end at the edge of a steep cliff. It was then that I noticed the cliff had skid marks going down it.
"So, they must've either slipped and fell, or the edge of the cliff caved in and broke off, making them slide down by accident. Either way, I think its best if fly down" I said. Spreading my wings, I jumped off the cliff and flew down to ground, landing safely on my hooves. I chuckled, but then I heard a growl. I turned to the side to see that it was a manticore. "Oh great! Just what I need, a stupid manticore!" I said with sarcasm. It knelt to the ground and attempted to pounce at me. It got closer, but I didn't even move, I just stood there. "Get out of my face!" I uppercut him under his chin, not even moving the rest of my body. The uppercut caused him to fly a few feet and land hard on the ground. I walked up to him, grabbed his tail, and tore it off. The manticore roared in pain, blood gushing out of where his tail used to be. I used its tail to impale him in chest, sending it into his heart, killing him. "…Alright then" I said, and then turned around to continue searching for Twilight and her friends.
-Moments later-
I kept walking. I had just killed a manticore- which was awesome- and now I was somewhere near a wide river.
"Huh, a river" I said. I was about to fly ever it, when I heard the ground shaking and saw the water vibrating. "Oh great! What now?!" I said in disbelief of my unfortunate amount of bad luck. The next thing I know, a giant sea serpent pops out of the water. "You have got to be kidding me" I said.
"Oh, well if it isn't another little pony" the serpent said. Oh great, a gay sea serpent.
"Who are you calling little?!" I said, but then I thought of what he had just said. "Wait! Did you say "another" were there six other ponies around here? All of them female?" I asked.
"Why yes. They came around here a few moments ago. There was this white unicorn that helped me with mustache by-"
"Just tell me which way they went before I hurt you!" I threatened, not having time to hear about his stupid mustache.
"Just keep going straight" he said with nervousness.
"Thank you" I said, and then spread my wings to fly over to the other side of the river. I landed on the other side, continuing my search.
-Later-
"Damn they got far" I said, following their tracks again. "Huh?" I looked up and noticed a bridge. They must've crossed it. "Well, this should be easy enough" I said. I had decided to cross it. Once I was on the other side I noticed a tall tower in the distance… the tower of the two pony sisters! Which means Twilight must be in there. I would fly, but what better way to reunite with an old friend than to walk up to her, right? Walking closer, I saw Twilight and her friends inside.
"Whoa. Come on, Twilight. Isn't this what you've been waiting waitin' for?" I heard the country pony say. Guess they must've found the Elements of Harmony. I decided to stay where I was so I wouldn't disturb them.
"The Elements of Harmony, we've found them. Careful, Careful!" Twilight told one of them, but I couldn't tell who.
"One, two, three, four… There's only five!" the pink one said. Well no duh! The book said the sixth element is hidden.
"Where's the sixth?" I heard Rainbow Dash say. Were they not paying attention to a word that Twilight said?
"The book said: when the five are present, a spark will cause the sixth element to be revealed" Twilight said.
"What the hay is that supposed to mean?" the orange one asked.
"I'm not sure, but I have an idea. Stand back. I don't know what will happen" Twilight said as she concentrated her magic on the elements.
"Come on now, y'all. She needs to concentrate" the country pony said. Oh shit! Before they turned around I flew up high and hid in the top of a tree. Fortunately I could see them, but they couldn't see me. I could also Twilight, but it looked like she was trying a little too hard.
"Aah!" I heard her scream, and then she vanished in a flash of light.
"Twilight!" I heard everypony say with concern as they ran to where Twilight used to be. I leapt out of the tree, on to my hooves. I ran and then stopped close behind them.
"Twilight!" I said which caused everypony to turn around and look at me with a surprised yet confused look.
"Who are you?" Rainbow asked me.
"And how do you know Twilight?" the orange one asked me. I stood silent until Fluttershy decided to speak up.
"I remember you. You're the pony I saw come into the forest yesterday" she said.
"Yes, I am. But there's no time for introductions now. Twilight needs our help" I told them.
"And why do you want to save Twilight so badly, huh?!" Rainbow said, flying in, my face. I shoved her.
"Like I said she needs our help" I said.
"We could use all the help we can get" the orange one said. "Problem is, we don't know where she went" she said.
"Look!" the white one said, pointing at another tower. What the hell?
"Come on!" the country pony said as they ran. I just stood there. "You comin'" she turned to me.
"You guys go a head. I'll catch up" I said. She nodded and continued on. "…Twilight" I said. I closed my eyes, took in a deep breath, held the wolf claw part of my necklace tightly on my right hoof, and exhaled, opening my eyes with a bold and determined look. I bent down, spread my wings, and took of extremely fast, leaving a trail of dust behind me.
-The final battle-
I was flying as fast as I could, wanting to save my friend. I saw that Twilight and her friends were battling Nightmare Moon. I crashed through the window and punched Nightmare Moon in the jaw, sending her flying, crashing on the ground.
"What?" she said as she looked at me with shock. I snickered with a grin on my face.
"Long time no see, Twilight" I said to Twilight, looking at her without even turning my head.
"Huh?" she said in a confused tone.
"And you must be Nightmare Moon" I said to Nightmare Moon. She got up and looked at me with annoyance.
"You insolent foal!" she shouted. She charged up her horn and attempted to blast me with a beam of magic. She failed, for I had deflected it with my hoof like it was nothing. She gasped in shock. I flapped my wings and charged towards her. I then punched her under her jaw, knocking her to the ground again as I landed on my hooves. I looked over my right shoulder and saw that everypony was looking at me in utter surprise.
"Well? What are you waiting for? Use the Elements of Harmony! NOW!" I shouted.
"R-Right!" Twilight said. The six ponies floated in the air, glowing in a flash of light. Just as Nightmare Moon stood up, Twilight opened her eyes which glowed as they unleashed the power of the Elements of Harmony. The power of the elements had unleashed a powerful rainbow.
"Nooo! Nooo!" Nightmare Moon screamed as she was hit by the attack which engulfed her. The rainbow disappeared in a flash of light and then faded. I smiled with victory. I then heard he others groan. I turned around to see them get up.
"Well, well, well, you actually did it. You took down Nightmare Moon" I said while walking up to Twilight.
"Yeah, thanks to you" she said.
"Eh, I didn't do much really" I said with a smile. Twilight giggled.
"By the way, who are you? And how did you know my name?" she asked me.
"Maybe she can help you answer that" I pointed to the broken window, which gave Twilight a confused look. All of a sudden a golden light flashed in front of us, revealing to be the princess of the day. Princess Celestia!
"Princess Celestia!" Twilight ran up and hugged her teacher.
"Twilight Sparkle, my faithful student" Celestia hugged her back. "I knew you could do it. I saw the signs of Nightmare Moon's return and knew you had the power in you to defeat her. But you could not unleash it until you let true friendship into your heart" she said as Twilight looked at her friends.
"So, can you tell me who this guy is?" Twilight pointed at me. "He knew my name yet, I have no idea who he is. Do you?" she asked her. The princess looked at me and smiled. I smiled back knowing that she would remember me.
"Twilight. Do you remember when you were a filly and I introduced you to that young colt? The one that I said was as unique as you?" she said.
"Colt?" Twilight asked.
"Remember, Twilight" the princess told her. Twilight had a thinking look on her face, looking at the ground for a few seconds to remember. Twilight gasped in realization.
"Wait a minute…" she said. She then turned to me, looked at me for a few seconds. That's right, Twilight, you remember. "…Shadow Storm?" she asked me as if she guessed right.
"The one and only" I said.
"It's so good to see you again!" she said, and then hugged me.
"Same here" I hugged her back.
"Speaking of which…" we turned to Celestia. "Princess Luna!" she said as she walked over to another little alicorn; the one who used to be Nightmare Moon. I'm she's Princess Luna… Princess Luna? Wait a second… "It has been a thousand years since I have seen you like this" she said as she knelt down to Luna's height. "It's time to put our differences behind us. We were meant to rule together, little sister" she said.
"Sister?" everypony except me said. I knew it! I knew that book was talking about Celestia and her sister, Luna!
"Will you accept my friendship?" Celestia asked her sister as she stood up. We all leaned in to wait for Luna's answer. After a few moments…
"I'm so sorry! I missed you so much, big sister!" Luna hugged her sister, crying.
"*sigh* I missed you too" Celestia said also crying, happy to see her sister again after a thousand years. Well this is a happy family reunion. I then heard the pink pony cry, but after a few seconds she stopped and said…
"Hey! You know what this calls for?" she said.
"What?" I asked.
"A PARTY!" she said. I gave her a curious look. A party?
"Yes, a good idea" Celestia said. Luna looked down with a saddened look.
"I can't they'll hate me" she said.
"Nonsense. They'll be happy to see their princess of the night again after a thousand years" Celestia said.
"She's right Princess" I said. "It wasn't your fault. You deserve redemption" I told her.
"Um… ok" she said with a light smile. She smiled at her sister and they flew outside to their chariot.
"Let's go everypony!" the pink one said. Everypony cheered and walked out of the tower, but I just stood there.
"Are you coming, Shadow Storm?" Twilight asked me as she looked over her shoulder.
"I don't know I'm not really the partying type of pony" I said.
"Come on, it'll be fun" she said. I thought for a second, and then gave my answer.
"Sure, why not?" I said. I walked up to her and we walked side-by-side out of the castle.
-At the party-
Everypony was enjoying the party, including me. But then I noticed Twilight had a sad look on her face. I was about to say something, but Celestia decided to say something instead.
"Why so glum my student? Aren't you happy to finish your duties and you can return to your studies in Canterlot?" she said. Return to Canterlot?
"That's just it. Just as soon as I made new friends, I have to leave them" Twilight said in a sad tone. Leave? I don't want Twilight to leave; we just saw each other again after so many years. But then I saw the princess smile.
"Spike, take a note" she said. Spike? I saw the baby dragon that was with Twilight yesterday walk up to the princess. Oh yeah! I remember him now. When Twilight and I were kids she told me she hatched him from an egg with her magic. "I, Princess Celestia, here by declare that my Student, Twilight Sparkle shall remain here in Ponyville, where she will continue her studies" she said.
"Yes!" I hoof-pumped.
"Oh thank you Princess. I'll study harder than ever before" Twilight said as her friends surrounded her.
"I know you will" Celestia said. "Well, it's been fun, but we must be going now. My sister and I have a lot of catching up to do" she said as she and Luna got in the chariot. "Oh! And Shadow Storm…"
"Yeah?" I walked up to her.
"Thank you for helping save my sister" she said.
"Heh, no problem Princess. It was all in a day's- or should I say night's work" I said. The princess giggled.
"Enjoy the party everypony!" Celestia said, and then they left for Canterlot.
"So, Shadow Storm, what do want do now?" Twilight walked up to me.
"I don't know. But for now, let's celebrate" I said, and everypony cheered. For some reason, I had a feeling that things were going to get a lot more interesting.
