I look up to the figure walking up to me. He is a tall, very muscular tan skinned man; he looks like us, but very much like Loki in the way of perfection. He is blonde with stormy blue eyes, wearing a red and gold set of armour with a few dents. He looks down at me with a stone-cold expression. I feel terrified again, like staring into Loki's eyes when he's about to shock me. I pull myself backwards, no longer controlling my fear. My eyes are so wide that it looks more like a cartoon then a real human being. He kneels down to my level with a softer expression on his face. He curls his arm around me.
"Do not fear me, my young one. What is this place that my brother has decided to rule?" He speaks in a powerful and gentle voice. Not quite a Royal Canterlot Voice, but closer. "It's Ponyville, in- in Equestria," I manage to spit out through my shivering body and chattering teeth. He looks out at the city. It looks like a hurricane just came through. People in weird outfits are flying and fighting and shooting and blasting energy at my friends and all the houses. I'm horrified.
"Be calm, my friend. I must explain my friends' actions. I am Thor, God of Thunder, and my brother Loki, God of Mischief, has tried to take over other large places such as this land before. My friends and I have come to stop him before he can either succeed or reduce this beautiful landscape to a burning pile of rubble."
I look around to see all the fire already there. "You don't have much time."
I remember the incident with the eyes, like there was a mask of blue not quite thick enough to shield the green underneath.
"Thor?"
"Yes?"
"What colour are your brother's eyes?"
"Green, of course."
He turns to join the others before I could ask why they were blue, and I'm alone again. But now I know for sure that Loki isn't doing this. Now I need to know what happened to him, or what's happening. I think back to the first day and the hesitation. I need to know if his eyes flashed green during the split second. Who was there with me?
"FLUTTERSHY!"
I arrive at Shy's cottage. It's not destroyed, just a few small burn marks, like they were made by candles. I knock on the door and she squeals from fright. "Shy?" I choke out, since my throat hurts from running through the smoke. "It's me, Pinkie." She looks through the peephole to check that it's really me. She opens the door just enough for me to see her eyes. "Who is my favorite boyfriend, Journey Deep or Leap of Faith?" I laugh. "Leap, of course. Nice security question, though." She breathes a sigh of relief as she opens the door all the way for me to enter. Her house looks like someone emptied the Canterlot Zoo into her living room, but it fell in an orderly fashion. "Wow." I gasp. "I've decided to take in all the animals in case he goes into the forest. I want them to be safe," Fluttershy says, quietly, as to not disturb the animals.
"Fluttershy, I know you have a great memory."
"...yes?"
"I need you to see if you can remember something for me."
"What do you need, Pinkie?"
"Remember on the day he came and he shot me into the wall?"
Silence.
"...yes."
"Remember when he hesitated for, like, a second before blasting me?"
"Yes."
"What did you notice about his eyes?"
She sits there, quiet on the couch. I can almost see her thinking. She sort of mumbles to herself before giving a puzzled look.
"Well, his eyes were blue, and then they flickered green, then teal, then green, then blue. But Pinkie, what do his eyes have to do with anything?"
"Shy, I don't think he's in control of what he's doing."
Shy looks confused as she watches me walk to the door.
"I'll be okay, don't worry about me. I have to do something."
She nods and I walk out the door. I go to me and- Shy and I's secret hideout where we kept all the extreme party supplies. I suit up and get ready to rock and roll.
"It's party time, Everypony."
