Me: Hey everypony! It's your host, Sunblast X and welcome back to the intro of: Shadow Storm Adventures.
Me: I'm guessing you're all wondering why I didn't upload this episode a while ago. Well. It's because I was taking a break… also I figured making guys wait would get me more reviews (I know, that's messed up).
Me: That aside though, in the last intro we introduced my good friend 4428Gamer. We also introduced his character Electric Blitz into the show and he and Shadow Storm became friends as well. Speaking of Gamer, he also gave me this device with a button on it *I hold up the device*.
Me: he told me to press it in today's intro, saying that it would make them a lot easier.
Me: Guess now's a good a time as any. Well… here goes nothing. *I press the button and the device transforms into a robot with glowing blue eyes*
Me: Whoa! You almost look like Omega from the Sonic the hedgehog games! Except slimmer *I said with awe*
Robot: I am Robo-tron! My creator, the one you call 4428gamer, designed me to help you with your intros *he told me*
Me: Damn… that guy is so cool. *I said*
Me: He's like a cross between Tron and Pinkie Pie… except he's not crazy. So how are you going to make my intros easier?
Robo-tron: like this. Studio change, activate! *he scans a light green laser that changes my bedroom into a hologram of something that looked close to that of a radio station*
Me: Whoa!
Robo-tron: and that's not all. *he puts a flashdrive into the USB port, transforming my sucky computer into one that is more badass*
Me: Damn…
Robo-tron: I will be playing all of your sound effects as well.
Me: Nice
Robo-tron: Only one thing left to do. *he shoots a device out of his chest which changes into a transporter*
Me: Transporter? *he nodded* how does it work?
Robo-tron: Say the name of your next guest.
Me: Uhh… Pinkie Pie.
Robo-tron: Now press the red button that says transport. *I press the button and a beam of light shoots out the top of the transporter. Seconds later Pinkie Pie came out of it with a smile on her face*
Me: Ok, that was pretty cool. What's up Pinkie- *I noticed she was gone*
Me: …Pie?
Pinkie Pie: What's up, Sunblast! *she shouted from behind me*
Me: AHH! *I jump out of my seat and looked at her while trying to catch my breath*
Me: Pinkie… how did you— nevermind, this is you I'm talking about. *I sat back in my seat*
Me: So anyway, how have you been lately?
Pinkie Pie: I've been fantastic! All my friends and I have been going on super duper funerific adventures! It's so much fun! *she said with a smile*
Me: That does sound like fun. *I said with a smile* so, any plans with any of your friends today.
Pinkie Pie: Yeah, I plan on doing something with Shadow Storm today. And guess what
Me: What?
Pinkie Pie: I found out what kind of cake he likes *she whispered*
Me: oh did you now? *I raised an eyebrow*
Pinkie Pie: Yeah *she said, popping her head out of my computer screen somehow* *she then whispered into my ear what kind of cake he likes*.
Me: How did you figure that out?
Pinkie Pie: Because I'm Pinkie Pie, and I know a lot about everypony. Even if they've never told me before.
Me: Wow… just wow
Pinkie Pie: Hey! Do you have any games on this computer?
Me: Pinkie No! *I was too late to stop her because she was pressing random buttons which caused half of my studio to be blown up*
Me: Ugh *Pinkie and I climbed out of the rubble all covered in soot. I coughed up some smoke and gave Pinkie an annoyed look while she simply smiled*
Me: *Sigh* that'll do Pinkie… that'll do * I rubbed the top of her head*
Me: Now then, let's—
Pinkie Pie: Let's start today's episode!
Me: Hey! That's my line!
Episode 6: Pinkie and Shadow
-Pinkie's P.O.V-
I was happy today. Actually, I was happy almost everyday and today's no different. Today I was having a party with all of my friends and everypony else in Ponyville! I was bouncing everywhere, until I appeared in between Twilight and Fluttershy.
"Hey girls, having fun?" I asked them.
"A blast!" Twilight said.
"You always throw the best parties, Pinkie Pie" Fluttershy said while dancing.
"That's great! I just love, love, love it when my friends enjoy a party" I said while dancing. I then disappeared and reappeared in front of Rarity. "Hey Rarity, enjoying the party?" I asked her while she was drinking her punch.
"Certainly, this party is simply smashing, Pinkie" she told me and continued to drink her punch. I spun around in a circle. I leapt into the air.
"Hey Rainbow!" I slapped her hoof in mid-air before landing. I walked over to the dessert table.
"Hey, Pink" Applejack greeted me as I held a whole cake in my hoof.
"Hey, AJ" I greeted her back. I then swallowed the cake whole. "Enjoying the party?" I asked with a mouth full of cake.
"Darn tootin'" she said. I giggled and swallowed my cake.
"Woo-Hoo!" I shouted. I bounced from wall to wall.
-After the party-
"That was so much fun!" I said as my friends and I walked out of Sugarcube corner, having already cleaned up the party. "Did you guys enjoy it? Because I enjoyed, and I hope we can have another one soon!" I said quickly with joy.
"We enjoyed it, Pinkie. Like we said, you throw amazing parties" Twilight told me. I smiled. It was then that a thought crossed my mind.
"Hey, did Shadow Storm enjoy the party?" I asked.
"Uh, Shadow Storm wasn't there" Applejack told me. My eyes widened in shock. "Uhh, Pinkie?" she asked me. My ears lowered in sadness.
"W-What do you mean he wasn't there?" I asked with confusion.
"He wasn't there" Twilight said. "He's not the partying type of pony, remember?" she added. I gasped.
"Take it easy, Pinkie, it's not that big of a deal" Rainbow told me.
"It's not that" I said.
"Then what is it?" Rarity asked me.
"I just realized that I've never thrown Shadow Storm a party!" I said. It was true. I've never thrown him a party before; even after all he's done for us. Saving us from Nightmare Moon, inviting us to his house, giving Twilight a metal quill, becoming our newest friend; he deserves a party.
"Pinkie, it's ok. Not everypony needs a party to feel special" Twilight told me.
"I'm sorry Twilight, but I can't accept that. I'm going to throw him a party, no matter what it takes" I said with determination and ran off to find him. I came back a second later when I realized I had no idea where he was. "Uhh… anypony know where he is?" I asked.
"He said he would be at the park for awhile" Twilight told me.
"Thanks" I said and ran towards the park.
-The Park (Shadow Storm's P.O.V)-
It was a nice, sunny day at the park. Ponies were playing with their younger siblings or children and I was watching them, lying on the grass on my back against a tree on a hill, my hooves behind head.
"*Sigh*… this is nice" I said with my eyes closed.
"Hi, Shadow Storm" I heard a familiar voice.
"Hm?" I opened one eye and noticed it was Pinkie Pie, standing right in front of me with a huge smile on her face. "Pinkie?" I asked in confusion.
"Hi" she said.
"Uhh… hi" I said awkwardly. "So, what is it that you want?" I asked her in with a raised eyebrow.
"You know all that stuff you've done for us as our friend?" she asked as if I knew the answer.
"Yeah…?" I said.
"Well, what better way to celebrate than with…" she disappeared. "A PARTY!" she appeared out of the hole of the tree I was resting on, looking down at me. A party? Is she serious?
"Uh, gee Pinkie, that sounds fun and all, but I'm not really the partying type of pony" I said, trying my best to let her down gently.
"Oh come on! In all the time we've known each other, I've never once thrown you a party" she said.
"Sorry, Pinkie" I said as I got up and started walking.
"Please" she said as she walked beside me.
"No"
"Please" she said as she appeared in front of me.
"No"
"Please!" she said as she popped out of my mane.
"No!" I said as I walked up to the water fountain.
"Please!" she begged me as she popped her head out of the spout of the water fountain.
"*Sigh*… fine, you can throw me a party" I said, giving up in defeat.
"YIPPIE!" she shouted in joy as she tackled me to the ground into a hug. I patted her head.
"But not now" I told her.
"Why not?" she asked me as she sat up and looked at me with a worried look.
"Because, I'm going on one of my adventures today and I can't be distracted by a party at the moment" I said as I got her off of me and started walking.
"An adventure?Where?" she asked me.
"Let's just say it's somewhere in the Everfree forest" I told her.
"Ooooh! Can I come?" she asked me. I gave her a confused look.
"Why?" I asked her with confusion.
"I want a chance to get to know you better. Plus, it'll be fun and it'll give me another reason to throw you a party!" she said with a smile.
"Hm. I like your enthusiasm. Ok, you can come" I said with a light smile.
"YAY!" she said as she jumped in the air with confetti somehow added to the mix. "But before we go, let me grab something first. I'll meet you at the entrance of the Everfree forest" she said as she walked in the opposite direction.
"Alright" I said and flew off.
-The Everfree forest-
I was sitting at the entrance of the Everfree forest and I was waiting for Pinkie Pie. I had been waiting for twenty minutes.
"Where is that girl?" I asked myself. I then decided to look into the adventure book that I borrowed from Twilight awhile ago.
"Here I am!" Pinkie Pie shouted as she appeared out of my book. This caused me to scream and fall on my butt.
"Pinkie, how do you do that?" I asked her.
"Easy, I'm Pinkie Pie" she said with a smile.
"Whatever, let's just keep going" I said as I walked into the forest with my book, Pinkie Pie right behind me.
-Inside the forest-
Pinkie Pie and I were walking through the forest and I had my face in my book (I know, I sound like Twilight right now).
"So what are we looking for anyway?" Pinkie asked me.
"A sapphire" I told her, looking over my shoulder at her.
"Ooooh" she said with awe. "So where is it?" she asked me.
"The book says it's deep within the Everfree forest" I told her. "Beneath the tower of the tower of the two royal pony sisters" I added. How serendipitous… Aw, damn it! Now I really am starting to sound like Twilight.
"The same place where we found the Elements of Harmony?" Pinkie asked.
"Exactly" I said. "Except it's beneath the tower. So we'll have to go underground" I told her. We kept walking until we came to the same cliff that I was at when I was following Twilight and the others to fight Nightmare Moon.
"It's a lot scarier than last time" Pinkie said with lowered ears. I gave her a determined look. I hovered above her and wrapped my hooves around her waist (Non-sexually I might add).
"Hold on Pinkie" I said as I flew her safely to the ground.
"Thanks" she said.
"No Problem" I said. I was about to continue walking, but then I heard Pinkie Pie scream. "What? What's the problem?" I asked her.
"That!" she said, pointing to a corpse of a Manticore. I got closer look and noticed it was the Manticore that I killed awhile ago. My eyes widened. "What do we do?" she asked me.
"Uh, get the hell out of here?" I suggested. She nodded and we continued our adventure. Several more minutes later we were walking and I noticed we were at the river.
"Hey Shadow Storm" Pinkie asked me.
"Yeah?" I asked back.
"Have you ever had cherry chunga?" she asked me.
"A what?" I asked with a confused look on my face.
"A cherry chunga" she said. "It's cherries and whipped cream that's wrapped in a tortilla and then deep fried" she said. What the hell? What is with her?
"Uh, no, can't say that I've ever had a… cherry chunga" I said awkwardly.
"That's good, because I just made it up" she said. I mentally sighed. We stopped at the river.
"Ready?" I asked her. She nodded and I grabbed her, flying us over the river. We then continued our journey until Pinkie decided to ask me something… again.
"Hey, Shadow Storm?" she asked me.
"*sigh*… Yes, Pinkie Pie?" I asked, starting to get a little annoyed with her questions.
"Umm… how long have you known Twilight again?" she asked me.
"Since we were kids" I told her.
"So you grew up with her in Canterlot?" she asked me. There was moment of silence.
"Not see, I wasn't even born in Canterlot. The Princess brought me there because she said I was unique like Twilight" I told her.
"Oh… then where were you born?" she asked me.
"I'd rather save that story for another time" I said.
"Okie DokieLokie" she said. I then sighed. "Hey look, the bridge" she said. We started to cross it. It was a little shaky, but we had managed to cross it successfully. After a while of walking we had finally made it to the castle.
"Finally! We're here" I said.
"Alright, let's go! The sooner we complete this quest, the sooner I can throw you your party!" Pinkie said, somehow appearing out of my saddlebag. I just smiled.
"Right…" I said as I slowly pushed her head back into my saddlebag.
-In the abandoned castle-
"Alright, this is where you guys found the Elements of Harmony, right?" I asked her. She nodded. "And the sapphire is somewhere beneath the tower" I said.
"Ooh! Like in a dungeon or something?" Pinkie asked.
"More like the treasury part of the castle" I said. "But good thinking though" I said with a smile. We then walked pass the pillar and downstairs to beneath the castle. Sooner or later we were in a hallway. Luckily for us, the hallway was lit with torches. "I'm surprised these torches stayed lit for a thousand years" I said.
"I'm surprised that they're able to heat up popcorn" Pinkie Pie said. I looked at her with a confused look. I saw that she had a bucket and she was using one of the torches to pop her popcorn. She then began eating the popcorn.
"Where did you get—" I cut myself off, knowing to not question Pinkie Pie. "Nevermind" I said. I turned around and Pinkie was in front of me snout-to-snout smiling. "Yes, Pinkie?" I asked.
"Are you having fun?" she asked me.
"So far? Yes" I said.
"That's great! Because if you're having fun then I'm having, and if we're both having fun then we're becoming good friends, and if we're becoming good friends then we can hangout more, and if we hangout more then we can have tons of fun parties together like the one I'm throwing for you after we finish this quest *Gasp*" she gasped.
"What is it?" I asked
"We should totally have a friendship party after we're done with your party" she said. I raised an eyebrow.
"What is it with you and parties?" I asked her with curiosity.
"It's my special talent. I am the Ponyville party planner after all" she said. "See?" she showed me her flank and her cutie mark of three balloons. She then gave m a sad look. "But what about you?" she asked me.
"Me?" I asked.
"Why don't you like parties? Why aren't you the partying type?" she asked me. I turned around and looked down.
"I've… never been invited to a party before" I said, looking over my shoulder. This made her gasp in disbelief. "Nopony's even thrown me a party since I was a foal in my hometown, and that was when…she was still around" I said with my ears down, not wanting to say the pony's name.
"She?" she asked me with a concerned look.
"Look, the point is I haven't gone to a party in years. So that's why I don't go to parties" I said. "…I'm sorry, Pinkie" I said, turning around, looking at her. I was caught off guard by her quickly embracing me in hug. I slowly hugged her back. I looked at her in shock. She smiled as she slowly broke the hug.
"You poor stallion… you missed out on so many parties in your life" she said. "I feel so sorry for you" she said to me. She feels sorry for me? "When we get home, I'm throwing you the biggest party of your life" she said with a smile. This made me smile back at her.
"…Thank you, Pinkie… truly" I said, meaning what I said. She then nuzzled my face. We then looked at each other with smiles.
"Come on, let's go find that sapphire" she said. I nodded and we began walking again.
-Moments later-
We were walking through the hall and saw something dead ahead. Ran towards it and saw that it was a wall that had a message on it. I'm guessing it's one of those things where you have to solve the puzzle to get to the next room.
"Huh, very clever, didn't think Celestia and Luna were type of ponies to use these kinds of things" I said. I then read the message. "It's a riddle" I said.
"What's it say?" Pinkie asked me.
"What gets wetter as it dries?" I read the riddle out loud. I was confused. What kind of a riddle is that!?
"Ooh, ooh, ooh, a towel gets wetter as it dries" Pinkie said, offering up an answer.
"Well that's probably the best answer we can probably think of, so let's go with that" I said, accepting her answer with out any choice. I then said the answer and the door slid up, indicating that we got the right answer. Now we can go to the next room. "Good job, Pinkie" I told her.
"YAY! Do I get a cookie?" she asked.
"I don't have a cookie" I said with a raised eyebrow.
"I saw one in your saddlebag" she said. Oh that's right; she appeared in my saddlebag earlier somehow. I almost forgot about that. I then checked both sides of my saddlebag and in one of them I saw a huge chocolate chip cookie wrapped in plastic wrap.
"Huh, well what do you know? I did have a cookie in my saddlebag" I said, not knowing that I had one in there.
"So can I have it?" she asked me, popping out of my mane.
"Knock yourself out" I said, removing the plastic from the cookie and handing it to her. She then chewed the whole thing in one bite. She then hopped off of my head while chewing the cookie. I chuckled, and then patted her head. "Come on" I said.
"Whee!" she said as I walked and she hopped into the next room. I then saw the next riddle. It was Pinkie's turn to read the next riddle. "What is the name of the union of the sun and the moon?" she read.
"That's not a riddle that's a question" I said. "And it's obviously an eclipse" I said. The wall then rose up. "2 out of 3. Only one more to go" I said. We continued walking/hopping forward. We had made it to the final room and the final riddle.
"Defeat the blob" we read in unison. We then gave each other confused looks.
"What is that supposed to—" I was cut off by a giant green blob coming from the ceiling. "Oh…" I said in realization. "How do we fight a—" I was cut off again by the blob devouring me. I was in his stomach. Fortunately, even though he was green he was still clear so I could literally see through him.
"Shadow Storm!" I heard Pinkie say with concern. I tried to swim out, but it was no use, I was stuck there.
"Pinkie, you have to defeat the blob" I told her.
"Ok, but first let me put some salt on these chips" she said, pulling out a bag of chips and a bottle of salt out of nowhere. Is she serious!? She then opened the bag of chips and removed the cap from the salt. She was about to pour the salt but she accidentally tripped, sending the salt flying. The salt went inside of the blob and it screamed in pain and it dissolved to the ground and I came out of it. I was all slimy, but at least I was free.
"Nice job, Pinkie" I said.
"No problem" she said. I saw her lick part of the blob. "Mmm" she said, probably thinking the slime tasted good. I gave her a disgusted look.
"Uhh, let's keep moving forward, shall we?" I suggested. We had finally made it to the room that had the sapphire in it. I saw that the sapphire was illuminating. We walked up to it and I grabbed it with my hooves. "Finally, we got the sapphire" I said, smiling while looking at its beauty. "And it's all thanks to you, Pinkie Pie" I said to her while putting the sapphire into my saddlebag.
"Does this mean…?" she began to ask.
"Yes Pinkie, you can throw me my party" I said with a smile.
"YAY!" she shouted as she jumped into the air and literally exploded with happiness. She then fell from the ceiling and landed on top of me. I groaned in a little pain. She got off of me. "Let's go!" she said as she grabbed my cheeks. I got up and smiled.
"Alright, Let's—" I was cut off yet again, but this time by the ground shaking. We turned around and saw a giant boulder rolling at us. We screamed as we ran away from the boulder, trying to live.
"Hey, Shadow Storm?" she asked me while running.
"Yeah?" I asked back, also running.
"Can't you fly us out of here?" she asked me.
"Oh yeah" I said, forgetting about my wings. I spread them, grabbed Pinkie Pie, and flew us out of here.
-Moments later-
I flew us out just in time, seconds before the boulder could crush us.
"Phew… That was close" I said, wiping the sweat from my forehead.
"So close that we almost got flattened like a pancake. We probably wouldn't have tasted good, even with syrup" she said. I raised an eyebrow in confusion but decided to let it slide. I then decided to change the subject to something I know she'd been talking about all day.
"So? Where's this party that you're throwing for me?" I asked.
"It's at Sugarcube Corner! Come on!" she grabbed my hoof and pulled me to town to hurry for the party.
-Town-
We were walking back in town with Pinkie Pie walking right in front of me.
"So who's going to be at the party?" I asked her.
"Everypony in Ponyville" she said, looking over her shoulder with a smile. I smiled too.
"I'm guessing that includes our friends too" I said.
"Of course, silly" she said. "We even got a cake!" she said.
"Wow" I said, impressed.
-The Party-
When we made it to Sugarcube Corner we saw that it was full decorations and ponies.
"SURPRISE, SHADOW STORM!" Everypony shouted. I was taken back with joy, even though it wasn't even my birthday.
"Wow, thanks everypony" I thanked them. "Pinkie, how did you put all of this together in such a short amount of time?" I asked her.
"Like I said, it's my special talent" she said with a smiled, showing me her cutie mark again. I chuckled at this.
"Yeah, you're right" I said.
"Come on everypony! Let's PARTY!" Pinkie shouted. She disappeared and reappeared next to the radio. She then pressed a button and started playing party music which made everypony start dancing. I smiled and headed over to the table with the cake that Pinkie said she had. It was chocolate and I cut myself a slice and was about to eat some of it, when a voice called my name.
"Hey, Shadow Storm" the voice said. I turned around to see that it was none other than my good friend, Twilight.
"Oh, hey Twilight" I greeted back.
"Enjoying the party? I know you're not really the partying type" she said.
"I know… but, yeah, I'm enjoying the party so far" I said. I then took a bite of my cake. Twilight giggled. "What?" I asked, wondering why she giggled.
"You've got some frosting on the side of your mouth" she said, pointing to the side of my mouth that had the frosting on it. I laughed. "Here, let me" she said, levitating a napkin with her magic.
"Uh, alright" I said, accepting the offer. She then used the napkin to wipe the frosting from my mouth. "Alright, that's enough. I'm not Spike" I said, holding back the napkin.
"Sorry" she said with a nervous smile. There was a moment of silence. After that we both laughed. "So, want to a have a picnic with me and the girls in a couple days?" she asked me.
"Sure, is it ok if I bring my friend Blitz?" I asked.
"Sure" she said.
"Alright, I'll remember to bring some food" I said.
"Great, now we have 3 ponies bringing food: You, Pinkie Pie, and Applejack" she said. I chuckled with a smile.
"Now this will be fun" I said. We smiled warmly at each other and continued to enjoy the party.
-That night (After the party)-
After the party was over, I was the last one to walk out of Sugarcube Corner.
"Hey, Shadow Storm!" I heard Pinkie shout my name from the door. I looked over my shoulder with a smile. "Did you enjoy your party?" she asked me.
"A blast, Pinkie… a blast" I said, being honest. This made her smile back at me. What's with all the smiles today? I guess its Pinkie's upbeat attitude… then again, she is Pinkie Pie. I then took off for flight and headed home to prepare for the next adventurous day.
Me: And there you have it, Episode 6. With all the adventure, funniness, and pinkiness you can handle. All in a day's work for a Shadow Storm episode.
Pinkie: When will you have a Pinkie Pie episode?
Me: Pinkie? I thought I sent you back? And just showed a Pinkie Pie episode… sort of.
Pinkie: Okie DokieLokie. But I'll back for future intros. *she said and then hoped into the transporter, going back to her world*
Me: Thank goodness, she's gone! *I wiped the sweat from my forehead*
Me: Anyway, stay tuned for the next episode. Let's just say it's a regular MLP episode and it involves a certain boastful unicorn.
Me: other than that, I have nothing else to say. This is Sunblast X signing off! See you all next time, everypony!
*Turn off webcam (at least what's left of it)*
You all know the rest…
