Chapter Two: Awaken and Anew

It had been 3 days since the unknown ponies appeared just as Princess Luna was saved, and as such both princesses walked towards the Inn the ponies where in and as they came upon the location they ran into a familiar face

" Twilight Sparkle what are you doing here? " Luna asked as she took in the purple unicorns reaction to the sudden appearance of the princesses.

" Princess Celestia! Princess Luna, what are you two doing here? " Twilight would ask as she bowed to them startled about them appearing down in Ponyville

" We came to check on the mystery ponies to see if they had awaken, and it seems you had the same idea as us Twilight " Celestia would ask chuckling as she noticed the soft blush creep upon her students face.

As they entered the building walking towards the room where the two ponies where kept under guard, they stopped infront of the room dismissing the royal guards. Walking into the room their eyes fell upon something truly unseen in the world.

The two ponies lay on the beds just as they had for the past few days but this time they seem to phase in and out of focus into a form none of the ponies there seemed familiar with and it seemed to rack their bodies in pain as it would phase back to being a pony and remain there.

The three mares stared in disbelief at what had just happened, right before their eyes the two injured ponies seemed to shift into an unknown form and then back to a pony in the blink of an eye as their bodies settled, they seemed to slowly began to radiate power which seemed to entrance the mares in the room to come closer.

'' What was that just now? Did these ponies just lose control of their magic for a brief moment? '' Twilight asked slowly moving across the room, with eyes wide in awe at what she had witnessed.

'' It would seem that is indeed what happened my faithful student '' Celestia replied as she too began to move into the room towards the older looking white unicorn pony; when suddenly her movement was stopped suddenly by a blade containing a half eclipsed moon and a sun was held infront of her making her freeze mid-step.

The three ponies eyed the blade at the princess' neck as the turned slowly to follow the blade down the handle to see who wielded the weapon. What they saw made their jaws drop as they grasped for air. Standing there holding the blade was the black unicorn, who seemed to be in pain as he was panting just from the effort to stay standing, his eyes glaring deep into their very souls; but what really surprised them was how he was holding the blade. It seemed to materialize out of the ponies back, but upon closer examination of the weapon, one could see the golden hue, coating the entire scythe, which seemed to be coming from his horn.

'' It would be wise for you, to step away from Haseo... '' Rave said slowly as his words seemed forced as his breath was labored even as a soft growl escaped his lips and his body covered in sweat, some blood dripping from his wounds even tho they were bound and wrapped.

'' Easy there, I mean your friend no harm '' Celestia said softly as she slowly backed away from Haseo as she turned towards Rave. '' Please lower your weapon and we can get you back in bed to rest, your wounds haven't healed yet, you're lucky to be alive.. ''

'' No harm says the talking pony, tsk do I look like an idiot here? You're just another monster created by "Her" I know you are... '' Rave said not lowering the scythe from a guard position as he shook slightly trying to stand tall but finally his body gave out from his fatigue and he fell harshly to the floor coughing violently, his scythe disappearing. Seeing as he needed help and his weapon had vanished Princess Luna rushed to his aide as she helped him slowly back to his bed. Celestia and Twilight slowly coming over to check on him as he closed his eyes to try and calm his body. As he lay in the bed, watching them he left a soft sigh escape his lips wondering why AIDA had attacked him and Haseo when and how she did.. He closed his eyes trying to calm his mind as it raced a mile a minute and he pray that what he was about to ask, didn't bite him in the ass later.

'' Say... could any of you tell me where we are right now...? ''

'' Why you're in Ponyville here in Equestria; everypony knows that '' Twilight answered slightly horrified that he didn't know where he was. Rave on the other hand seemed to tilt his head in confusion, blinking as if trying to wipe away the illusion infront of him as he muttered '' great... two humans in a land of talking ponies... this has to be a dream... ''

'' Says the pony who himself is all laid up in a bed? '' Luna replied smirking as she watched him glare at her as if he didn't believe what she had just said, as he raised his hand to point at her and fire back a comment, when he suddenly stopped as he got a look at his hand... or rather the hoof on the end. His eyes grew wide as he suddenly cried out.

'' Are you kidding me!? I'm a freaking pony!? '' as he started to thrash around in his bed '' There is no way this is true! No freaking way! '' as he started to climb out of bed he suddenly hacked up a good amount of blood, causing all the ponies in the room to rush to his aid and to stop his wild rage.

'' Calm down before you hurt yourself more! Please we mean you no harm! '' Twilight pleaded as she watched both the princesses bind him down to the bed with their magic, preventing him from hurting himself more. Slowly but surely his emotions came back into check as he glanced over towards Haseo who seemed to be completely out cold, noticing he too was also a pony, which caused questions to start to race through his mind. Celestia must have noticed his internal fight as before he could speak she interrupted him '' If you may, would you answer some of our questions and in exchange we shall answer yours. Does that sound fair? '' A small smile graced her face as she watched the pony nod very slowly '' Ok, so first off my dear, what is your name? Hmm? ''

'' Rave... Rave Twilight.. '' Rave stated as he saw the youngest of the three suddenly gasp which caused Luna and Celestia turned to Twilight and allowed a soft chuckle at her reaction to his last name as she turned back towards him '' Well Rave, my name is Princess Celestia and this here '' as she nodded towards the midnight black and cobalt blue pony beside her '' is my sister Princess Luna...''

'' Luna. That's such a pretty name.. '' Rave thought only to realize he had spoken his mind out loud and he slowly brought his gaze up towards the princesses and noticed the white pony with a rainbow mane, who had introduced herself as Celestia while the young purple pony was doing a fish impression, very well he might add, was chuckling at her sister, who happened to have a bright red tint to her face thinking '' He thinks my name is pretty?'' from what Rave had spoken '' Oops didn't mean to think that out loud there... '' he'd bow his head for interrupting and for his and Luna's embarrassment. Although Celestia and Twilight kept chuckling before calming down.

'' Now that is out of the way hehe; let me introduce my student Twilight Sparkle '' Celestia nudged Twilight forward as it suddenly clicked in Raves head as to why she suddenly gasped

'' My last name was a shock to you cause it's also your first name huh? '' Rave asked chuckling as she nodded '' I understand the shock, that I do, but also you have a cute name too '' Rave smiled softly making Twilight smile and blush slightly as Celestia nodded before continuing '' Yes, they both have such wonderful names... '' '' Oh you have a wonderful name as well Celestia, so don't think I don't think so '' Rave interrupted with a smile '' Thank you Rave, now as for my next question what was that weapon you had? '' This also seemed to draw Luna and Twilight out of their thoughts about what Rave had said earlier about them, as even tho the weapon was deadly it still had a aura of elegance and grace about it.

'' Oh yeah, my scythe, hehe sorry bout that, didn't mean to jump in like that; it's just battle instincts '' Rave said bowing slightly as Celestia just smiled '' I understand, you wake up in a strange place with no memory on how you got here and when you awake you see an unknown pony walking towards your brother who is asleep right? '' she said as Rave nodded '' Yeah but still princess I am sorry but as for your question, my weapon was a scythe named Tsuki no yugure which means [ Lunar Twilight ] '' this drew wide eyes and gasps from Twilight and Luna as they stared at Rave '' I use to have two more but since I'm now a pony I don't know if I can call them forth but as long as I have Tsuki no yugure I will survive '' he'd send a knowing smile towards Luna and Twilight as Celestia was lost in thought when Twilight suddenly spoke up.

'' How did you end up here? And wait, how did you not know you are a pony? Everypony here in Equestria is a pony. '' Twilight asked seeming to voice Lunas question as well as Celestia turned back towards Rave. As he blinked thinking of how to answer that question when a loud ping like that of a bell echoed through the room as it shifted and phased. Rave looked towards Haseo as his brother sat up eyes opened, shocking the three mares, as the brothers shared a glance and the phasing got faster as they suddenly smirked with wild expressions. As the black dots bubbled up in the door way as an ping echoed louder causing Rave and Haseo yelled out loudly

'' She's Here! AIDA! ''
