Defender Ch 3

Incident at Canterlot

Silver Flight looked through the glass, but his vision was blurred by some liquid that his body lay suspended in. Bubbles floated up from the bottom of the tank blurring his vision even more than clear greenish liquid. Beyond the glass he saw movement. He could make out a tall figure standing in front of him. It put its paw On the glass, and spoke to him. It was muffled and muted by both the tank and the liquid but strangely he heard it clearly, "soon my creation, you will have your chance at freedom and you shall fulfill your destiny..."

Silver flight awoke from his dream. He thought about last nights dream. Was it a dream or a memory? In his ocurrent condition the two seemed to blur and meld seamlessly together, making it impossible to tell the two apart. He decided to let the thought rest as he rose from the bed. He stared at himself in Twilights mirror, a perfect reflection stared back, yet the reflection was still a complete stranger. 'who am I?' he thought but was interupted by unfamiliar voice, "Twilights in the dark room developing photos just so you know," He turned to see a purple baby dragon staring at him.

He stared back, "who...?"

"I'm spike," answered the young dragon, "I'm Twilights personal assistant. She kinda told me all about your memory loss. While you where asleep,"

He was about to answer when twilight entered the room. "good morning sleepy head," She chuckled, "did anything come back while you were asleep?"

Silver flight thought about his dream from last night and thought about telling the unicorn about it, but decided not for it was just a dream, wasn't it? "no,"

"oh well, hopefully they'll come back soon." she smiled, "hungry?" she asked. The Pegasus' stomach growled like an angry manticore at the question, Twilight chuckled, "I'll take that as a yes. Oh, and Spike, when you have the time send this to princess Celestia. I'll go make some breakfast for our guest," she said as she handed Spike a scroll.

Sometime later both Silver flight and Twilight Sparkle were in town. When they were little fillies. "hey Applebloom, Scootaloo, and Sweetie bell, what are you up today?"

"where trying to get our finders cutie marks!" exclaimed Scootaloo.

"Finders cutie marks?" questioned Silver Flight.

"yeah, we're going around town and finding items ponies have lost," Applebloom gave a wide excited smile.

"hey what's your cutie mark symbolize?" Sweetie bell asked.

"don't know," he answered.

"What, how do you not know your special talent and have a cutie mark?" Scootaloo said puzzled.

"well I kinda lost my memories," he explained.

"hey!" cried out Applebloom, "we'll help you find your missing memories, and then we'll for sure get our finders cutie marks for sure!"

"cutie mark crusaders go!" the trio galloped off.

"Hmm, cute fillies," commented silver flight.

"yeah, though they seem to get in a bit trouble trying to get their cutie marks," Twilight said

"hey twilight," said a voice from above, the two turned to see Rainbow Dash hovering above them.

Silver Flight was the one two answer, "what are doing?"

"I was flying around you know doing my tricks when I saw you guys and decided to drop by. I was also was wondering if you know regained your memories,"

Silvers smile dissipated, "no still don't remember anything,"

"oh well," Replied Rainbow, "oh I was thinking about your cutie and I was was wondering if it meant that you are like a skilled flyer, so maybe we could test your skills?"

Silver thought about it, "sure i'll go with you, I was itching to stretch my wings, I think I got all the kinks worked out of the muscles,"

Silver and Rainbow flew across the sky. Their wing cutting the air around them. It turned out that Silver Flight's speed and agility was on par with Rainbow Dashes. They tied during a speed race, flight power and agility flight. Twilight stood by keeping score and time and Observed the amnesiac Pegasus' flight patterns when she heard a tired panting behind her. She turned to see spike running towards her. He stopped beside her and held out a scroll, "from...the...princesse" he panted out before passing out on the ground. Twilight read the writing on the parchment, her eyes widened at it.

"rainbow! Silver! Come here!" twilight called out to her friends.

"what is it twi'?" said Rainbow Dash as she and Silver Flight landed next to the purple unicorn.

" you know that crater that we investigated yesterday? Apparently there another one near canterlot. And Princesse Celestia wants us to come and compare them,"

"she wants all of us to come?" asked Silver, Twilight nodded.

It didn't take long for them to round up all there friends and be headed of to Canterlot. Silver Flight listened to the trains engine chug away and its metal wheels roll along the track. He soon fell into a drowsy sleep.

He was in the glass tube again but something was different. He could see the dark figure messing around on a computer console. It's paws flipping switches and pressing buttons. Suddenly the liquid started moving pushing him out of the glass prison. He landed on a cold hard metal floor. The cold harsh air nipped at his flesh making him shiver. The figure placed a blanket around him and dried of the fluid and warmed him up. It's voice was clearer now with out the glass blocking the sound and the liquid filling his ears, "Welcome to life, Defender..."

Silver Flights eyes snapped open, his gaze traveled until they met Twilights, "good morning sleepy head," she chuckled, "how was your sleep,"

"fine," he replied as stretched his body and rubbed the sleep from his eyes. The screeching of metal told him that they had arrived at their destination. He followed twilight of the train onto the platform. His mind whirred at the number of ponies in such a small a small area.

"Big brother!" silver turned to see Twilight galloping to a white unicorn with a blue mane and tail.

"Hey sis," he answered, "how's it going?"

"really well, so there was also a meteor crash near Canterlot as well? Also around the same time one crashed near ponyville?"

"Yeah but there is also some you should see," said Shining armor, "it can't be revealed to the public,"

"uh can I ask a question where's a place to eat, I'm hungry,"

Silver Flight asked.

"oh, uh Brother this is silver flight we found him in the ponyville crater. Though he's currently suffering from a bad case of amnesia. "

Shining armor looked at the handsome young pegasus. "does that mean you don't remember a thing?"

"yes unfortunately, the only thing I do remember is waking up in the middle of the Ponyville crater, and before that nothing, but another strange thing is that something is telling me that i was the one who made that crater"

"hopefully you gain them back, who knows maybe the will help us understand what going on,"

"yeah I hope so to, for I feel like there is some thing important I should remember but can't,"

Shining simply nodded then motioned to the other ponies, "ok follow me..." he said as he walked in a general direction.
