Wait, Sumia, you mean to tell me you dont even have a Pegasus yet?" Twilight asked.
"Well, it's hard to find one right now since they're pretty expensive." Sumia said.
"We've been trying to ask for bonds to get one so Sumia can do some flyin', but with all that's happening, we cant even afford to ask." Vaike added.
"Uh, what if I told you guys there was a pegasus on the road right now?" Fluttershy said pointing to a pegasus lying on the ground. She quickly rushed over to it.
"Oh, you poor thing. You were shot down. Dont worry, I'll get it out." Fluttershy said pulling the arrow out of the wing. Sumia then came up to it and stroked it.
"It likes you." Fluttershy said.
"How can you tell?" Sumia asked.
"I have a very special connection to animals." Fluttershy said. "And every single one must be shown a little kindness to be a good friend."
Fluttershy slowly rose into the air and ponied up herself, getting her wings, ears and tail.
"Again?" Hope said.
"Her kindness for the pegasus allowed her to do that." Jexi said.
"It looks like the more my human friends embrace their element and talent, the more they can become their ponied selves." Twilight said.
"That's not all, the magic seemed to fully restore the Pegasus to health. Sumia, I think It'll let you ride it." Chrom said.
"Wh-what?" Sumia said.
Vaike got out a saddle from his pack and put it on the pegasus, then lifted Sumia up onto it. "There ya go. Now, let's see you ride her like a real pegasus knight." Vaike said.
"O-okay." Sumia said urging it to go forward. It took off with ease and flew once over the clearing, then back down again.
"Yeah! Looks like ol' teach taught you well!" Vaike said.
"Wow. She's amazing on her." Rainbow said.
"Nice job, Sumia." Chrom said. Sumia just blushed and didnt say a word.
The group soon arrived to a large coliseum where the snow had just started falling.
"Okay, just past that fort and we'll see this so called Marth." Jexi said.
They walked up to the fort gates and soon had bows and spears trained on them.
"Halt! Who goes there?" the commander said.
"We are from Ylisse, and we wish to go to Regna Ferox. My name is Chrom, crown prince of Ylisse and leader of the shepherds!" Chrom said.
"Your kingdom has no place here! Arrest them!" the commander said. One went into grab Gray, but Juvia blasted him away with water.
"Nice going Juvia, now they're gonna use lethal force." Hope said.
"Go and do your worst! We have a contract with Furious Fists like most of the other countries." the commander said. "Fire!"
The archers let loose at Chrom, but Sumia got him at the last second and flew him up into the air.
"Get me inside the fort. I need to reason with them." Chrom told Sumia.
"Hang on tight." Sumia said with a serious expression. She dove into the fort and Chrom got off, taking a look at a strange ape creature.
"My name is Primeape, member of the Furious Fists Guild and by the honor of our master, I will not let you pass." he said banging his fists together.
"Hmm. This could be interesting. Come at me, monkey." Chrom said.
"Monkey?!" Primeape said as he started turning red with rage. "Now you lose!" he shouted rushing at Chrom with high speed, surprising him and knocking his rapier out of his hands.
"Chrom! What are you doing? You can't get them mad like that! They're at their strongest when they get mad!" Twilight shouted.
"We need to get in there. I faced that Primeape before." Ranma said, knocking out the gate keeper.
"Use these to unlock the gates, and hurry!" Lissa said tossing Ranma the keys to the gate.
Ranma quickly unlocked the door and ran inside.
"Long time, no see, Primeape." Ranma said.
"Pig tail! So we fight once more! You did a number on all our forces in the forest when we followed Gurdurr, but I will not lose a second time." he said rushing at Ranma.
"Also, when I beat you, I want your guild master's name." Ranma said.
The rest of the team split up to pincer the other Feroxians. Twilight didnt get far when she noticed someone was watching her. She turned to see a man in full armor with a spear and shield.
"Hello there." he said.
"Uh...hi. How long have you been standing there?" she asked him.
"Oh… I got here along with everyone else. No surprise they'd even notice me, though." the man said.
"Oh, Kellam's here? I didn't even realize he came with us on the expedition." Frederick said.
"As usual." Kellam said. "But… I still am a shepherd, and I'm a Knight, so I have good defense. Just please let me help out with the fight." he said.
"Of course. That's why you came, right?" Weiss said.
"Perfect. I'll defend you guys with my last breath." Kellam said.
Kellam then moved with the group on the left and saw Ranma victorious.
"I used Hyoryu Korin Dan again. But now, I wanna know. Who is the guy leading all of you?" Ranma demanded.
"Fine. Our guildmaster is a legend among warriors. He is the undefeated warrior of battle. He is the former leader of the Dragon Troop of Dragnor. He is the Ultimate Aura Warrior. Lucario." Primeape said before passing out.
"Guess Lucario wants payback." Ranma said.
"If he does, we're in big trouble." Knuckles said. "I've seen him fight. He took down Machamp even when Machamp was on that Shadow Drug stuff without taking a single injury."
"And he can Mega Evolve." Hope said.
"Well, it's true he has the stone, but he rarely even uses it since he was already strong without the use of the stone." Twilight said.
"Well then, we should be careful." Chrom said as the commander fell. "Now will you let us pass?"
"Yes. You have proven your worth. You may go." The commander said.
Along the way, they met a villager named Donnell whose town was attacked by Bandits. They fended them off and Donnel got a hit in with his own sickle.
"You hero folk sure are strong. Well, you told me I was a good fighter, so let me join ya." Donnell said.
"Sure. There's always more room in the shepherds for those who want to become heroes." Chrom said.
"This time, we want answers, Marth." Jexi said.
