Chapter 13
Abducted
Summer, know as her full name Summer Breeze, is the proud daughter of Princess Solana and Prince Lunick. She is also considered the leader of the New Generation, her friends. It isn't easy being the daughter of a prince and princess. It comes with a lot of responsibilities. Summer is destined to become the Princess of Equestria one day. Not a lot of ponies would be able to handle all that weight and responsibility. Summer actually doesn't mind one bit. She accepts and embraces it. She is the granddaughter of Prince Flareon and Princess Twilight Sparkle after all. It's not a surprise Summer is the way she is. However, being a pony of royalty comes with a sense of danger too. Meaning it would possible for criminal gangs to use ponies like Summer for their own sinister purposes. Such as ponynapping Summer and using her as a hostage. The problem is you wouldn't want to ponynap someone who is the granddaughter of the chosen one. Unfortunately for one criminal gang, they would make the mistake of doing such a stupid thing and making one certain fire pony furious with rage. It all began one evening in Manehattan. Summer was visiting the city for the weekend for some studying purposes. Summer had just got done doing what she needed to do and was ready to head back to Ponyville. After hailing a extended taxi carriage, Summer got in it. There was another pony inside. A male unicorn. Summer then asked the carriage driver to take her to the train station. Due to an exhausting day, Summer didn't have the energy to fly all the way back home. Manehattan was three times the distance from Ponyville compared to Canterlot. As the carriage began to move down the crowded street, the male unicorn spoke to Summer. "You wouldn't by chance be Summer? The daughter of Princess Solana and Prince Lunick?" he asked.
"Yep! That's me!" Summer exclaimed happily. At that moment, a mischievous smirk spread across his face.
"Perfect," the pony chuckled. Before Summer knew it, the unicorn lunged at her and quickly put his hooves over her mouth. Summer was unable to fight the pony off and soon lost consciousness. The taxi carriage was then seen making a hard right down an alleyway and disappeared into the dark. Like a ghost disappearing through a brick wall. The next day in Canterlot, Princess Solana was busy checking over some papers, when suddenly, a letter appeared before her. She slowly opened it. A loud ear-piercing scream would immediately heard echoing throughout the halls. When Prince Lunick rushed into the room, he was shocked to find Solana lying on the floor. It turns out she fainted. It was apparent why. The note Princess Solana received was a threat letter. Summer had been ponynapped by an infamous criminal gang called the 'Black Serpents' and was being held hostage. The letter was asking for one billion coins in exchange for Summer's life. If they didn't receive the payment within three days, Summer would be killed. As Prince Lunick was tending to his wife, he sent one of their Royal Guards to contact Prince Flareon and Princess Twilight at once. Later on, in the throne room, Flareon and Twilight were shown speaking to Solana and Lunick regarding the urgent matter about Summer. Princess Solana was distraught at the fact her daughter was in danger.
"Those bastards are seriously going to pay for this," Flareon grunted under his breath.
"Why Summer...why," Solana muttered with her head held down.
"What should we do?" Twilight asked.
"What else?! I'm going to Manehattan and save Summer!" Flareon burst out.
"That's...how will you be able to find her in that big city?!" Twilight exclaimed, "She could be anywhere!"
"Well I'm sure as heck not gonna pay them!" Flareon yelled, "We can't be sure that won't harm Summer even if they do get their money." Flareon turned around before anyone could say anything. "I'll be back with Summer. Don't worry about me." With that, Flareon left Canterlot and made haste for the city of Manehattan. A couple of hours later, Flareon finally made it to Manehattan. He immediately headed for the police station. After explaining to the commissioner the situation regarding Summer, he was more than happy to lend Flareon help in anyway possible. The first thing Flareon went to was the room where the traffic cameras stationed throughout Manehattan were controlled. After nearly six hours of carefully looking through all the tapes, Flareon finally found the one that caught Summer entering a taxi carriage. As fast as he could, Flareon left the police station and headed to the taxi carriage lot. He then asked the manager about the taxi carriage that Summer entered. The manager was able to give Flareon the name and address of the pony that was in charge of the area that day. Flareon was then shown flying to the address the manager gave him. A few minutes later, Flareon entered the a small house where he was a male pegasus eating dinner with his wife and daughter. Before the pony noticed him, Flareon flew at the pegasus and slammed him into the wall. The wife and daughter screamed as the pegasus tried to free himself. It was no use. He was pinned to the wall hard. "Tell me where Summer is! Now!"
"I ain't telling you nothing," the pegasus chuckled. In response, Flareon shot a fast fireball that barely grazed the pony's head. The wife and daughter screamed again.
"The next one won't miss," Flareon muttered angrily, "Tell me where Summer is or else your wife and daughter are going to find themselves tending a funeral soon."
"Fine! Fine! I'll tell you!" the pegasus shouted. He then told Flareon where his gang was keeping Summer held at. After Flareon let the pegasus go, he left the house and headed for Summer's location. Hopefully it wasn't too late. Meanwhile, at an abandoned warehouse, Summer was shown sitting on the floor. She was tied together with ant-magic chains. There where ten other ponies present in the room.
"So...any word from Princess Solana yet boss?" one pony asked.
"No," the leader replied, "Don't worry though...it won't be long. Soon we'll have our money. I'm already tired of foalsitting this brat."
"Let me go!" Summer yelled. In response, the boss walked up to her and slapped Summer across the face.
"I told you to shut up!" he shouted.
"When Flareon gets here you guys are going to be in real trouble!" Summer yelled. The entire room burst out laughing.
"I very much doubt that," the boss replied with a sneer, "There's no way Prince Flareon will be able to locate this place in time before the deadline. That money is as good as ours!"
"You think so?" a voice asked. Immediately, everyone turned around and where shocked to see Flareon standing before them. Summer was barely able to contain her happiness as tears ran down her face.
"Impossible!" the boss shouted shell-shocked, "How did you find this place so quickly?!"
"Your dimwitted taxi driver spilled the beans and all he needed was a little persuasion...if you know what I mean" Flareon replied.
"That idiot!" the boss burst out furiously.
"Let Summer go...now," Flareon stated in a serious tone. Just as Flareon took a few steps forward, he suddenly found himself caught in a pillar of green light. As Flareon screamed in pain, the boss laughed maniacally. After the light vanished, Flareon collapsed on the ground.
"You really think we weren't prepared for you?" the boss asked sarcastically, "That's why I placed an advanced magic draining trap for you. I already knew of your sacred fire magic. We aren't called Black Serpents for nothing!"
"No! Flareon!" Summer cried out.
"Let...her...go," Flareon grunted as he slowly stood back up.
"What do you expect to do against ten ponies without any magic? You can't beat us! Give up!" the boss yelled. In response, Flareon was shown cracking a weak smile. Just then, Flareon was engulfed in roaring flames. After they dispersed, Flareon was seen in Flame God Mode. The boss and his henchponies were baffled.
"No...no way!" the boss exclaimed terrified, "That trap was supposed to drain your body of all your magic! How are you able to use your fire magic?!" Instead of responding, Flareon unleashed a roaring blaze of fire that quickly engulfed the entire warehouse in a blazing inferno. Later on, Flareon and Summer were shown speaking to a police officer. In the background you could see the ten members of the Black Serpant being lead into a police wagon. They were all scorched pitch black. After the police officer thanked Flareon for his help in apprehending the infamous Black Serpent gang, Flareon and Summer made their way to the train station and took a train ride back to Canterlot. They eventually arrived in Canterlot around 2am. When Princess Solana and Prince Lunick saw that Summer was back safe and sound, they quickly embraced their daughter in a tight hug as they shed tears of joy. An exhausted yet relieved Flareon wished Solana, Lunick, and Summer goodnight as he went with Twilight to their bedroom for some much deserved rest. As for the members of the Black Serpent, they were shipped to Prison Island the next day.
