Chapter 3

As Dark Tret begins to attack Storm Razor, Storm Razor chants a spell and shouts. "O brilliant light locus, annihilate the grotesque beast before me, Spiral Flare!" By casting it, a magic circle appeared and shoots a fiery ball like tornado towards Dark Tret. It hits Dark Tret, causing him to burn severely.

"Damn you" Dark Tret curses." How it's this possible, why I can't I absorb his attacks!"

Dark Tret shakes off the flames and strikes off one of his roots to the ground causing pillars of spear like wood to shoot out and to attack Storm Razor.

Storm Razor extends his wings out and dashes and cuts them in high speed. While dashing, Storm Razor flies towards Dark Tret and cuts off his right arm.

"Gahhh, my arm…curses…you…" said Dark Tret. Dark Tret became furious and charges towards Storm Razor.

"Monster like you never learns do you" Storm Razor extends his arm and chants. "This time you will be nothing but ashes from this move, O merciless and devastating conflagration, burn out this wrenched creature, Crimson Flare!"

A sphere like flame covers all of Dark Tret then engulfs him in a pillar of fire. "Gahhh, how can I losing to this damn this flying creature!" shouted Dark Tret.

Despite Storm Razor unleashing a devastating attack on Dark Tret, He continues charging at Storm Razor. "Now die you flying creature!"

Dark Tret slashes and strikes down Storm Razor. "Yes, now that flying creature is dead, now I can-." Just then, Dark Tret notices Storm Razor's body turned into a log of wood.

"What in the the…?"

"Up here loser!"

Dark Tret sees Storm Razor and confused on how he dodged his attack. "Why you, how in in the world did you dodge my attack?!" yells Dark Tret.

"I wouldn't expect a monster like you to know what a substitution jutsu. But I will admit that you're one stubborn guy to put down" muses Storm Razor.

"Why you little…" Dark Tret shoots out his roots out of the ground and sends them straight towards Storm Razor.

"Now drop dead!"

"As if" Storm Razor extends his wings and flies down in light speed, his body begins to flame up and as he shouts his final attack" Time to say good bye, Rising Phoenix!" Storm Razor flies straight towards Dark Tret and cuts through him, causing Dark Tret to split apart.

"H-How…can….I lose…flying creature….how is it possible that I can't absorb your…magic?"

"My spell arts are a lot different than the equestrian's magic. Which is why you couldn't absorb them" explained Storm Razor.

"H-he he…inter..esting… so…there are other…spells ..I have not…found out…about it…good show boy….go..od….sho…" The flames engulfed Dark Tret, causing him to explode.

Dark Tret's pieces finally disintegrate from the flames, Storm Razor turns around and notices every pony is still weaken and hurt. "…I don't like using this healing art but in this kind of situation…." Storm Razor extends his arm and chants." Root of all creation, grant us the breath of life..., Revitalize."

A giant glyph appears underneath with every pony in the area. Healing their wounds and restoring all life energy.

"There we go. Everyone should be good as new" said Storm Razor.

After Storm Razor finishes the spell, he walks up to Twilight to makes sure she is alright. "Come on Bookworm, Naptime is over" Storm Razor gently nuzzles Twilight which causes her to wake up.

Twilight slowly wakes up and sees a familiar face in front of her.

Eyes blurry she couldn't see who it was. "Storm…Razor…is that really you?" asked Twilight

"Come on, who else could it be" said Storm Razor.

Twilight's memories slowly began to come back. Twilight's eyes began to tear up while looking at him. "Hey you okay, here let me wipe those tears –"Suddenly, Twilight jump towards Storm Razor and hugs him. "Hey that's dangerous after what happened, Bookworm." cries Storm Razor.

"It's you….it's really you…."sniff*…." Cried Twilight

After Storm Razor sees how Twilight is, he gently smiles and hugs her back. "Sorry…I didn't think using that move would hurt you this much" Said Storm Razor.

"Well it did….I really thought that you had died on that day. Didn't you know how much I missed you…" cried Twilight. "I told you long ago to promise me to never do any reckless stunts like that."

"My bad….but it was the only way to protect you" explains Storm Razor.

"But that doesn't mean you can disappear on me like that…..hey….can we…stay like this…just a little longer…." Twilight asked shyly.

"Sure…why not" answered Storm Razor.

Later, every pony that was hurt by Dark Tret are recovering and waking up.

"Ow, my head, Hey where's that ugly tree at. I still want to beat the snot out of it" groans Rainbow Dash.

"Same here, I didn't get a chance to turn it to firewood" said Applejack.

"Hey, get me out of this cage!" shouts Pinkie Pie.

"Don't worry Pinkie Pie, I'll get you out" Rarity uses her magic to break down the cage.

"Yay, finally free!" screams Pinkie Pie.

"Cadance, are you okay. Can you stand?" asked Shining Armor.

"Yes I can. Thank you Shining Armor" said Princess Cadance.

As every pony gathered around, they notice one pony is missing.

"Hey, where's Twilight at?" asked Rainbow Dash.

"Oh no, I hope that horrible tree monster didn't take her away" said Rarity.

"Okay every pony, let's split up into pairs and search for her" ordered Shining Armor.

As every pony split up, Shining Armor and Princess Cadance walked around the area; they went to a nearby small slope to see if Twilight is around there. At the top of the slope they and see Twilight laying and hugging a familiar pony under a tree.

"N-No way…it can't be…Cadance do you see what I-"Shining Armor looked at Princess Cadance and notices she is crying.

"It can't be…is it…really him" Storm Razor looks up and notices Shining Armor and Princess Cadance standing on top of the slope and waved at them.

"Yo Nii-chan, Nee-chan, Long time no see!" shouted Storm Razor.

"Its really him, Storm Razor!" Cried Princess Cadance

Princess Cadance runs towards Storm Razor and Twilight and hugs them.

"It's a miracle, I'm so happy that your back" said Princess Cadance.

"Easy on the hugging will ya, I can barely breath" said Storm Razor. Shining Armor comes by and hugs him as well.

"Now nii-chan joins in the hugging fest too huh" Storm Razor jokes.

"Hey this is what happens with you disappearing out of lives Storm Razor" said Twilight.

"That's right, and also you have some explaining to do as well" said Shining Armor.

"Well, what's important is that this reckless scamp is finally back" said Princess Cadance.

As everyone continues hugging Storm Razor, The rest of Twilight's friends came by on top of the slope and sees an unknown pony down the slope.

"Hey…who's that guy there hugging down there?" Rainbow Dash asks

"Well whoever he is he's sure is cute" said Pinkie Pie.

"Hmm not sure but he seem familiar for some odd reason" said Applejack.

"What you forgotten about me already missy?" asked Storm Razor.

Twilight's friends looked behind and see Storm Razor. "What the…if Storm Razor is up there, then who are we hugging?"

Twilight looks closer and notices they are hugging a dummy doll version of Storm Razor.

"How in the Equestria did he do" said Princess Candace.

"More importantly, how did he pulled it off without us noticing it" asks Shining Armor.

As Twilight, Shining Armor, and Princess Cadance were puzzled of what Storm Razor did, Storm Razor walks up towards Applejack.

"I don't know who you are but you seem so familiar" said Applejack.

"Well, maybe this will jog your memory" Storm Razor walks up to Applejack and kisses her on the nose.

"Holy moly you kissed her on the nose!" shouted Pinkie Pie.

Applejack blushes and finally remembers who he is and gets angry at it. "I remember now, your jerk that ate my apples without asking!" shouted Applejack.

"Gahaha, I didn't think that playful kiss on the nose got you all wild up" laughs Storm Razor.

"Why you!" Applejack began chasing Storm Razor while Twilight, Shining Armor, and Princess Cadance started meeting up with the rest.

"Oh boy, he's at it again I see" said Twilight.

"Yo Twilight, who is this guy that is chasing by Applejack?" asked Rainbow Dash.

"Believe it or not, it's my childhood friend Storm Razor" answers Twilight.

"Huh, Didn't Shining Armor said Stormy Wamry passed away" Pinkie Pie said puzzled.

"I did but apparently he survived the blast" said Shining Armor.

"I even find it interesting is that the way Applejack describe him was really on the mark. Just look how much she's trying to chase him" said Rarity.

"Yeah no kidding, it's like watching older version of the story Applejack told us on the train" said Rainbow Dash.

Every pony begins to laugh until Twilight decided to stop Applejack from chasing Storm Razor.

"Okay you two, that's enough" said Twilight.

"Not until this guy pays me back for those apples he ate" said Applejack. As Applejack keeps running after Storm Razor, she notices Storm Razor stops in front of her.

"What, you got something to say to me?" said Applejack.

Storm Razor smiles at her and pulls out a bag of coins out of his cloak and lays it on the ground. "See, I told you I kept my promise. But I couldn't stop eating them cause they were the best apples I ever ate back them" said Storm Razor.

Applejack was surprised of what Storm Razor did and shyly took the bag of coins. "Jeez, you could of gave it to me in the beginning, you made me chase you for nothing" said Applejack.

"I only did that because you were so much fun to tease Applejack hehehe" laughed Storm Razor.

Not only Applejack, but every pony in the group were surprised of that he knew applejacks name.

Twilight got curious and walked up to Storm Razor. "Storm Razor, how you know her name?" asked Twilight.

"Well I didn't exactly knew her name back then but a little birdy told me. And that little birdy told me about all your friends here too bookworm" said Storm Razor.

Storm Razor walks up and goes towards Rarity. "Let's see here, this lovely gem here must be Rarity" said Storm Razor.

"Oh my, aren't you a charmer. Yes, I'm Rarity, a pleasure to meet you" said Rarity.

Storm Razor then walks up to Pinkie Pie. "You must the fun loving party animal Pinkie Pie" said Storm Razor.

Pinkie then suddenly bounces around Storm Razor.

"Thaaaats me! Hey, do you like parties, do you like pranks, and are you single?"

"Pinkie Pie!"

Storm Razor gently laughs. "You bet I love parties, Pranks are my specialty, and yes I'm single."

"Then would you-"

"No thank you" interrupts Storm Razor.

"Booo shot down" Pinkie Pie pouts.

Storm Razor smiled and walks up to Pinkie Pie and softly pets her on the head.

"Sorry about that. It's just that I'm not interested in dating right now. But there might be slight chances in the near future so don't lose hope okay. Besides a cute girl like you can get a guy or two" said Storm Razor.

After what Storm Razor said, Pinkie Pie begins to blush. Making Twilight slightly annoyed where she used her magic to pull Storm Razors right cheek.

"Ow, Ow, Ow!" slightly yelped Storm Razor.

"Greeting them is no problem but that doesn't mean I allow you to flirt with my friends" Grumbles Twilight.

"Sorry, It's not I was flirting on purpose!" Storm Razor quickly explains.

Twilight shrugs and releases him as Storm Razor walks up to Rainbow Dash.

"The queen of the sky, Rainbow Dash right, up high missy!" said Storm Razor.

"Up High"

"Down Low"

Both Storm Razor and Rainbow Dash spit at their hooves and smack them together.

"That's right. I'm the queen of the sky Rainbow Dash. Nice to meet ya" said Rainbow Dash.

"Nice to meet ya too Rainbow, say…" Storm Razor looks around causing every pony to wonder what he was looking for.

"What are you looking around for Storm Razor?" asked Twilight.

"My little birdy friend told me supposedly there was little dragon that's always with you bookworm" answers Storm Razor.

"Little dragon….oh no Spike!" Gasps Twilight.

"Oh man, we totally forgotten about Spike" said Rainbow Dash.

"After all that mess we terribly forgot about spikey-wikey" said Rarity.

"He's probably still at the train station back in Ponyville so let's if he's still" said Applejack.

"Knowing Spike, I bet he's daydreaming" said Pinkie Pie.

That won't be necessary. ….Spike is safety here in the castle

"Ah, Taiyou-nee, is that you" said Storm Razor.

"Yes it's me, and I want every pony back to the castle" said the disembodied voice of Princess Celestia.

"Is there something wrong back in the castle" asked a worried Twilight.

"Hmm, well not exactly. I want every pony back here so we can hear what exactly happen to you long ago and in other words, you have a lot of explaining to do young man" answers Princess Celestia.

After Princess Celestia voice vanish in the air, Shining Armor walks up to Storm Razor.

"Princess Celestia made a good point. Me, Twilight, and Cadance need to know what exactly happen to you that day" said Shining Armor.

"That's right Storm Razor. We need to know what happen" said Cadance.

Storm Razor notices how determined they are in wanting to know what happened to him. He smiles at them and said. "Yeah you, Nee-chan, Taiyou-nee, and Bookworm have the right to know exactly what happen to me back then."

"Hey I'm kinda curious about this incident as well" said Rarity.

"Yeah Stormy, tell us what happen!" shouts Pinkie Pie.

"Yeah tell us, it felt like they only told half of the story" said Rainbow Dash.

"Yeah mister, explaining of what happen should be your next payment" said Applejack.

Twilight walks towards Storm Razor and faces him. "Please Storm Razor, personally, I do really need to know what happen to you" pleads Twilight.

"Dude, I already said I will so don't worry. Anyways since we're near the secret entrance, it's a shortcut to the castle so let's go" said Storm Razor.

Before Storm Razor could walk further, Shining Armor suddenly stopped him. "Exactly how do you know about the secret entrance, no pony but me, Cadance, Princess Celestia and the royal guards knows about it" said Shining Armor.

"Oh that's easy. Taiyou-nee told me about it in case of emergency and to never tell to a pony under any normal circumstance. If you don't believe me, you can ask her yourself" said Storm Razor.

Princess Cadance got worried and walked up to Shining Armor. "Shining Armor, why are you suddenly being cautious around him, if Storm Razor hasn't saved us, we wouldn't be here" said Princess Cadance.

"Sorry, look Storm Razor, don't get me wrong, I'm really happy that you're back and thankful that you saved us but the fact is that you announced about the secret entrance and that's something I cannot over look. Once we get back to the castle, you and Princess Celestia must tell got it" asked Shining Armor.

"Jeez super cautious as ever I see, the last time I seen you this cautious was the day when you and nee-chan was trying to repair bookworm's-" Princess Cadance runs behind Storm Razor, hugs him and covers his mouth.

"Shhh…did you forget that supposed to be a secret Storm Razor?" said Princess Cadance.

"Hmm, repair what exactly?" asked Twilight.

"Uh, no its nothing Twily, A-anyways let's get going shall we" said Shining Armor.

"Hey Storm Razor, where exactly is the entrance?" asked Twilight.

"Ah, remember that spot we were on down that field, further down theirs an unusual tree that's different than the rest" said Storm Razor.

"Hey Applejack, let's see which one of us can get to the weird tree Storm Razor told us" said Rainbow Dash.

"Ha, your on Rainbow let's go!" said Applejack. Both of them ran towards the direction a long with Pinkie Pie.

"Hey wait for me you two!" shouted Pinkie Pie.

"Honestly, can't they learn to stay put" Rarity sighs and runs after them.

"Well since every pony is going, let's get going shall we" said Twilight.

"Yeah lets go, Cadance, Storm Razor, let's get a move on to the castle" said Shining Armor.

As they both left down the hill, Princess Cadance continues to hug Storm Razor. "Ah…nee-chan, shouldn't we get going, and why are you still hugging me?" asked Storm Razor.

"Why is there a rule I can't hug my long lost little brother?" said Princess Cadance.

"Even though I'm not blood related to you nee-chan….well…you can hug me as much as you want once I tell all of you what happen to me" said Storm Razor.

"Alrighty, I'm going to hold you on that okay" asked Princess Cadance.

As Princess Cadance releases him, both her and Storm Razor ran off together to catch up with the rest of the group. As everyone got to the unusual tree, Storm Razor walks up to the tree, stands up, his right hove started to glow and was about to punch the truck before Shining Armor Stopped him.

"Whoa Storm Razor, you're going to destroy the door if you do that way" said Shining Armor.

"Oh don't worry about that, Taiyou-nee modified the door for me to punch it to be opened" said Storm Razor. Storm Razor got into his stance and punches the trunk causing the door to appear.

"Unbelievable, Princess Celestia have never told me about this" said Twilight.

"Who the thought that Canterlot had so much secrets here" said Applejack.

"Storm Razor, by any chance you know anymore secret areas that lead to the castle?" asked Rarity.

"Yes I do, but unfortunately I can't tell about it unless it's an emergency" said Storm Razor.

"Oh come on, I'm curious what the others are like" said Rainbow Dash.

"Yeah, pretty please with chocolate marshmallow and a cherry on top" said Pinkie Pie.

"Sorry no can do, besides, I promised nii-chan to never tell no pony about them and even to Twilight unless Canterlot gets attacked" said Storm Razor.

"And I thank you for that. Sorry girls its classified information" said Shining Armor.

"Awww not fair!" moaned Rainbow Dash and Pinkie Pie.

"Well in due time you will tells us right?" asked Twilight.

"Sure, all I need is nii-chan permission. But no worries, I will tell you soon bookworm. Anyways let's get going Taiyou-nee is waiting for us back at the castle" said Storm Razor.

As every pony enters through the door, everyone but Storm Razor notices the passage is damage and falling apart. "Hey is there a reason this passage is banged up?" asked Applejack. Oh some weird earthquake came out of nowhere shaken up here when I was with Fluttershy a while ago" said Storm Razor.

Twilight and every pony were surprised what Storm Razor said about being with Fluttershy.

"Wait just one moment here, why was Fluttershy with you, she was supposed to meet us back at the train station" said Rarity.

"Yeah that's right Stormy, why was Fluttershy with you?" asked Pinkie Pie.

Ah, I encounter with Fluttershy back in Appleloosa while trying to find my traveling buddy" said Storm Razor.

"A traveling buddy, is there another pony while you were with Fluttershy Storm Razor?" asked Twilight.

"Nah she's not pony. My traveling partner is a rabbit" said Storm Razor.

"Rabbit, you, no offence but you don't seem to be the type to have a rabbit as a pet" said Rainbow Dash.

"Yeah no kidding, I would had peg you for having a falcon or a wolf or something" said Applejack.

"Come on girls don't be like that. Besides I find it cute that Storm Razor has a pet like that" said Princess Cadance.

"Oh that right, what else were you doing with Fluttershy Stormy?" asked Pinkie Pie.

"Yeah I'm curious about it too" said Twilight.

"Well it's a long story so I will tell about it once we get to the castle" said Storm Razor.

As the group got out of the corridor, they manage to enter an open room full of debris and stones on the ground.

"Hey Storm Razor, you mention an earthquake earlier. By any chance you and Fluttershy were in here when that happen?" asked Shining Armor.

" Yeah we were in here when that happen. And wasn't a natural earthquake. It felt like some pony angrily stomped the ground that caused" said Storm Razor.

Every pony but Storm Razor all looked at Twilight. Knowing that she the cause the of the earthquake.

"Well we're right near the stairwell so let's get going" said Storm Razor. As the ponies went up the stairwell, they manage to enter out of the passage and arrive in the castle corridor. Since every pony knows there way, they all went to the royal chamber to meet up with Princess Celestia. And finally, all enters the royal chamber.

"We're back Taiyou-nee!" said Storm Razor.

"Ah, thank goodness every pony is safe and sound" said Princess Celestia.

"All of you are not terribly hurt are you?" asked Fluttershy.

"Fluttershy!" Twilight and the girls run up to her.

"Where in the world were you, you were sure taking your sweet time coming from Appleloosa" frets Rarity.

"Yeah, I almost had to miss lunch because you taking a long time. What happen?" asked Rainbow Dash.

"I'm sorry. I had to search all over Appleloosa for some specific herbs in town till I ran into Storm Razor" said Fluttershy.

"He didn't say anything indecent around has he?" Twilight turns her head towards Storm Razor with an annoyed look causing Storm Razor feel slightly uneasy.

"What is that supposed to mean bookworm?" Storm Razor asks.

"Well I wouldn't say indecent, but we did sneak on a freight cargo train on the way here" whispers Fluttershy.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa, you snuck in a freight cargo train and not on the train you were supposed to be on?" asked Applejack.

"Yes, apparently the train I was supposed to be on had some technical difficulties for some reason. But that's when I met Storm Razor around that time. So he helped me out sneaking on the train to get back home. And no Storm Razor never did anything indecent around me. Other than the fact that he was teasing me a few times" said Fluttershy.

Every pony in the room began to gently laugh of what Fluttershy said.

Fluttershy then suddenly walks up to Storm Razor. "By the way Storm Razor, I know it's a bad time to ask but, could you tell me what exactly happened to you and your childhood?" asked Fluttershy.

"Ah nuts, totally forgot. Well I can take a guess that every pony in here heard the first half of the story. Especially that when it was bookworm that caused the earthquake earlier after finding out what happen to me" said Storm Razor.

Every pony but Fluttershy were surprised that Storm Razor knew what happen.

Twilight walks up to Storm Razor with a surprised look on her face. "You knew I was the one that caused it?" asked Twilight.

"Of course, I could sense you power level from a mile away" Storm Razor smiled and gently petted Twilight on the head.

"I guess nii-chan told you what happen back huh, well since he told you, nii-chan, why not tell Fluttershy the first half and I tell the second half since every pony here wants to know what happen to me" said Storm Razor.

Shining Armor gently smiles and looks at both Princess Cadance and Celestia. "Are you two going to be okay once I tell the first half to Fluttershy?" asked Shining Armor.

"Yes I will be alright. I really need to know exactly what happen" said Princess Celestia.

"Same here, I need to know what happen to my cute little brother" said Princess Cadance.

Shining Armor walks to up to Fluttershy and explains everything to her. After Fluttershy heard the first half of the story, Fluttershy was astonished what happen to Storm Razor and finding out that Twilight is Storm Razor's childhood friend but something about it got her confused. "Storm Razor, you told me she was a unicorn but Twilight is a Alicorn" said Fluttershy.

"Well back then she was but I wasn't aware that bookworm became an Alicorn princess. Guess Nightwing didn't give me the full report" said Storm Razor.

"Nightwing, who's he?" asked Rainbow Dash.

"Is this Nightwing where you're from Storm Razor?" asked Rarity.

"Yep, but before I explain, I think it's time you guys know what exactly what happen to me after that incident" said Storm Razor.

"Please do, all of us and especially Shining Armor, Cadance, Princess Celestia, and more importantly….me" said Twilight. "

"….Sigh….Alrighty here goes"

It happen on that rainy day after I wiped out the red armored ponies at the cave, that blast from the secret technique I used sent me flying in an area far from Canterlot….I was in a critical condition….lost a lot blood. Despite my condition, I got up and walked off limping… I could feel the weight on my body wanting to collapse. I was already near the verge of death. Suddenly, my body gave out and landing in a puddle of mud. My conscious was fading and my vision is getting blurry…leading towards the fact I'm about to die. From that point I already decided to lay where I am and let death claim my life….that is until she appeared in front of me….

A dark purple carriage flew down from the sky and lands next to me. Out of the purple carriage appeared to be dark blue Alicorn walking towards me.

"Poor thing, you met a terrible fate have you" The alicorn said.

'I…don't…know…who you are….but…if you going to eat…me….I hope you….choke….on my bones….." Storm Razor thought'

*giggle* Not to worry, I'm not here to eat you, I'm here to save you" She said.

"Did…she…read…my mind…got to…get…away from her"

Despite how badly injured I am, I slowly got up and back away but fell down to the ground.

"W-who are…you….and…what do you…want…with me" I asked.

"Like I said, I am here to save you. To prevent you from struggling, I'm going to temporarily put you to sleep"

The dark Alicorn shoots a spell on Storm Razor causing him to fall asleep.

She walks towards Storm Razor and nuzzles him. "Sweet dreams my little stallion. For I Nightmare Moon shall be your new guide in this world and bring fright and despair to this land"
