Defender ch 2

Lost memories

Twilight's mind stopped for a minute how can anypony not know his own name? A whirl of questions popped into her mind until she settled on one, "tell me what all that you remember," the pegasuses contorted into one that conveyed deep thought.

"All i remember is a bright flash of light, then waking up in this crater then meeting you, other than that, nothing. "

Twilight look at her friends who had caught up to her, " uh guys we have a problem,"

" I say," said rarity with horrified expression, "look at that filthy mess of a pony, this is not just a problem it's an emergency, just look at him he'll need an entire make over just look presentable,"

" what I meant was that he appears to suffering a severe case of amnesia, most likely caused by the impact of the meteorite,"

"so he a bad case amne-what now?" asked a confused applejack.

"memory loss," simplified twilight.

"Oh no he must be hurt," fluttershy said letting her caring side out, "where does it feel the most painful,"

"well it kinda hurts everywhere, it feels like I flown ten marathons without break," answered the unnamed Pegasus.

"Oh you poor thing," coddled Fluttershy as she began to massage his sore muscles. He groaned in pleasure as the yellow Pegasus's nimble hooves began to gingerly yet tenderly slowly work out the knots in his aching muscles.

"applejack, rarity," said twilight,"I want you to take mister pegasus here back to ponyville and ensure that he gets accustomed with everything, hopefully something might trigger a memory. In the meantime the rest of us will continue the investigation; and don't worry Rarity we'll be sure to give you some meteorite samples."

"forget space gems, this pony is in dire need of a make over." Rarity remarked. "now come you poor thing we need to improve that awful appearance of yours," she said as she beaconed to amnesiac Pegasus, the blue pony limped after the white unicorn and the tan earth pony.

The trio managed to get to rarities boutique without pinkie pie noticing them, which was a feat in itself. Rarity started the tap to the tub with the use of her magic. As she waited for the tub to fill she started to pull the twigs out of the blue Pegasus's mane and tail. For a while It was silent until the mystery pony broke it, "so this is where you live? huh,"

"oh, yes I both live and work here, this both my home and work place. One day I hope to be one of the greatest fashion designers in all of Equestria, and hopefully my designs will inspire others with the glorious path of fashion design. " she answered.

"wow, big dream," he commented, "I don't even know my own name much less any goals I may have had,"

"oh the tub is full now, we'll just have to figure that out later," said Rarity, "i'll give you some privacy as you wash your self,"

The Pegasus slipped into the warm soap filled water. He let the days events run through his mind. Though one thing still bothered him, who was he, what was his name, did he even have a name?. He sunk deeper into the water. He watched as some bubbles drifted up towards the ceiling. Their skins danced with translucent rainbows. Some distant memory struggled to surface in his mind. The bubbles seemed to bring out one of his many missing memories, though it still seemed lost in the fog that clouded his memories. What was so special about the bubbles that they seemed to resurrect some dead memory? He sent more flying up hoping to trigger that memory. His thoughts were interrupted by Rarity,"you done? Because your making a dreadful mess," the amnesiac Pegasus looked around the tub. He saw that there was dirty suds all over the floor. He looked at the unicorn embarrassed.

"Sorry, i'll just get out now and dry off,"

Sometime later his true colors were revealed. Light blue with a darker mane and tail and His eyes were sky blue. His muscles showed through his flesh giving him a muscled yet sleek appearance. He was indeed in all sense of the word a handsome stallion. Though most peculiar was his cutie mark. A turquoise orb with two silver wings that seemed to surround and guard it.

"why this has to be one of my greatest achievements ever," Rarity said.

"uh all ya did was wash 'Im up and comb his mane," said applejack.

" I know," said Rarity, "But he certainly one of the most handsome pagasi I have ever laid eyes upon. Look at how his coat shines and his mane gleams in the light, he must have had made mares from all over fall head over hooves for him. I'm surprised he hasn't made himself a world famous model for No suit can ever do him justice. "

Applejack rolled her eyes. "now if only we knew his name," at that moment Twilight, Fluttershy, and Rainbow Dash entered the boutique. Applejack decided to change the subject, "So what did y'all find?"

"It's what we didn't find is the problem," replied twilight, "there wasn't even a space pebble in the crash sight. I was going to send a report to Princesse Celestia when I decided to check to see if you had made any progress."

Rarity was the one to answer, "why don't you see for your self," she pointed a hoof towards the blue Pegasus.

"Oh, my," was fluttershy's answer, it was hard to imagine that this was the same dirt and grime covered Pegasus they found in a crater.

"so have you regained any memories yet?" asked Dash. For a moment he was tempted to tell about the bubbles but decided against it.

"no," he answered, "I can't remember any thing of my past,"

"well we were talking about What to call 'im before y'all showed up," applejack said.

"Maybe his cutie mark can give us a clue," said twilight.

"Cutie mark? Oh, you mean this marking on my rump?" he said,

"yes now let us see it," Rainbow retorted impatiently. He sighed and showed every one his cutie mark.

"A turquoise orb with a pair of silver wings, what could that mean?" twilight observed.

"Your guess is as good as mine." answered the pegasus.

"Well we could call him green orb, you know because of his, um, cutie mark," said fluttershy.

The blue pegasus thought about it for a minute, " no it doesn't sound like me,"

"how about silver wing?"asked Rainbow. "it sound much cooler than green orb,"

Again the Pegasus thought about it, "well I think silver flight seems to be a better match for me,"

"Well then, if you say so, welcome to ponyville Silver Flight," twilight said In a welcoming voice.

"speaking' of welcome isn't pinkie pie waiting for some pony to arrive here?"

"of course we should introduce him to all our friends,"replied twilight. "Hopefully some pony will recognize him,"

No sooner had the mane six and the newly named Silver Flight entered sugar cube corner they found them selves surrounded by what looked to be half the village. Silver Flight was stunned at how many ponies could fit in such a small building. He stared face to face with a pink poofy maned earth pony. "hey mister, what's your name?" she asked in her usual hyperactive way.

" uh, Silver Flight," he answered unsure of how to handle his current situation

"where you from?, what's your favorite color?, favorite type of cake?, " were only just a few questions that she hammered him with, while in that time he had processed only one thought, 'how do I answer all these questions?' fortunately he was saved by twilight.

"Pinkie why don't you go play pin the tail on the pony? I'll introduce him to the folk of ponyville,"

"ok," answered the pink pony as she hopped off.

"I'm guessing you wish to ask me more questions, huh?" Silver Flight stared at the purple unicorn, "well I still don't remember any thing," his voice carried a frustrated tone to it.

"no silly, I was going to ask you if you wanted some punch," giggled Twilight.

Silver Flight looked at her for a moment, "oh, uh, sure, I'll have some punch," Twilight used her magic to pour two glasses of the pink liquid and handed one to the blue Pegasus. Silver took a sip of his drink when he noticed the bubbles that rested at the bottom of the glass. Again their presence caused some memory to try to climb its out of the void with in his mind. Silver once again became entranced by them but his thoughts were once again interrupted.

"you ok?" Silver Flight looked up to see Twilights concerned face.

"Um, yeah, I'm fine," he quickly answered. The party continued until the late hours of the evening. By that time Twilight noticed Silver Flight looking more and more exhausted by the minute. He looked like he was about to fall asleep on his hooves. She decided that it was time to call it quits.

"Silver Flight?"

"Hmm?" was his answer.

"I noticed that your looking a bit tired and i was wondering if you would come with me. I have a extra bed that you can use,"

" ok seeing as I don't have a place to stay," they both exited sugar-cube corner and headed off to the library that was Twilights home.

"I guess no pony recognized me," Silver said as they entered the tree. A waver of sadness echoed in his voice.

"don't worry somepony in this world has to recognize you, maybe there's a spell in here that will unlock your memories. But right now you just go to sleep, while I go analyze my findings at the crash sight, who knows maybe i'll find a couple of clues that will help uncover your past. "

Silver Flight looked at her with a hopeful expression on his face, "your right, now where do I sleep?"

"On that bed over there," she answered with a pointed hoof. No sooner had his head hit the pillow he had fell into a deep slumber.
