Episode 1:

The mysterious pony! A new friend and lost past! Part 1

First off I would like to say thank you for clicking on this story and I hope you have a good time reading this :)

Disclaimer: I don't own My Little Pony, ah dur

I hope you enjoy! P.S. This is my first story so constructive comments are always appreciated :)

Another shining day in Equestria and another shining day in Ponyville. The cutie mark crusaders are trotting their way through Ponyville trying to think of new

ideas to get their cutie marks.

"So... what do you think Scootaloo? SweetieBelle? Have any ideas for today?"

"Got nothin..." said Scootaloo sighing.

"Nope..." said SweetieBelle also sighing.

"Well... I guess we should take the day off today. Hey! Let's go to sugarcube corner and get some cake!" AppleBloom said trying to lift her friend's spirits.

"Ye-" Scootaloo was stopped by a sudden howl in the sky.

"What was that?" asked SweetieBelle.

All of a sudden, many ponies started running in the opposite direction. That's when the ground itself shook so much that it broke apart, launching Scootaloo and

SweetieBelle away from AppleBloom, also tipping over AppleBloom.

AppleBloom looked up in absolute horror as a large, spiked, and by the looks of it, not very friendly, beast that was larger than a building.

The monster rose up it's massive, clawed paw and sent it down.

AppleBloom screamed as she closed her eyes hoping that this would be over.

After a few seconds she opened her eyes to a different kind of a surprising shoke. A colt, by the looks of it was the exact same age as her, stopped the

monster's claw with his hoof. He had red fur(darker than her brother, Big Macintosh's), a black mane, and a tail that looked like fire and was yellow and orange

and flowing.

"So you wish to disturb the peace of this town?" the colt said. The monster, failing to press down his left claw on colt, began to raise the right.

"DO YOU BELIVE I'LL LET YOU HARM THIS PONY AND EVEN THIS TOWN AND JUST GET AWAY WITH IT!" He shouted in anger.

The monster sent down his claw but it didn't have time to even come to close to the ground before he took a hoof kick to the face which sent him sliding

back. He grabbed AppleBloom and her friends and in a dash set them on the roof of a building that was a good distance away from this destruction.

"Stay here until help arrives, I deal with him." said the colt. All three noticed something amazing before he took off, the colt now had two tails that looked

like they were ablaze.

"Okay then let's see now, either you leave or I make you leave!" He shouted at the beast.

All that was followed by the beast was loud roar.

"That's all I needed to hear." said the colt.

The Colt looked behind him, four tails, he had begun to grow the eleven tails. He thought to be careful, he knew what would happen if all eleven tails were lit.

He rushed towards the beast at blinding speed, catching it off guard, and knocking it off it's feet and into the air. Six tails.

SweetieBelle, Scootaloo, all the ponies in Ponyville, especially AppleBloom, watched the sky as the beast and the small colt battled it out.

"Eight tales..." the colt thought.

"I need to finish him quickly... before the eleventh tale..." The young colt had now tripled in size in mid air and used his now eight large tales to slam the beast

to the ground. AppleBloom made it to the street from the roof with Scootaloo and SweetieBelle.

"We gotta go help him!" said AppleBloom.

"There's nothing we can do!" said Scootaloo trying to hold back her friend from rushing into danger.

Meanwhile, Princess Celestia had arrived to make sure everyone was okay, but froze in place looking at the young colt in the distance who was easily

defending himself from the rampaging beast in the middle of the town. She looked at the colt...

"Eleven-"

"TAILS!" the colt said.

"Darn! No! Not now! Gah!"

A blinding light first came off the colt followed by a blinding flash in which consumed the entire chaotic scene. AppleBloom broke free of Scootaloo's hold and ran

towards the scene.

"Hey! Where are ya'll?!" AppleBloom said frantically.

The smoke cleared away with the wind, a crater was in clear view. The monster was gone, but where was the colt? AppleBloom could see the colt in the middle

of the crater, she went down a lifted him up, not knowing if he was gone.

2 days later...

"I she's still here." said AppleJack.

"She hasn't left the colt's bedside since his condition became stable yesterday" said Nurse Redheart.

RainbowDash, PinkiePie, Rarity, Fluttershy, and even the newly royal Princess Twilight Sparkle came to the room all with a look of sadness on their faces. This

small colt almost was destroyed saving Ponyville from that mysterious powerful monster. AppleJack walked up to AppleBloom who was right beside the bed of

the colt.

"How he doin'?" asked AppleBloom with a very worried tone in her voice.

"The doctors say he's stable, he's gonna be alright." said AppleJack softly.

"Thank good-" AppleBloom was cut off by a small whisper from the colt. Everyone was frozen silent.

"A-are... y-you... okay?" He asked looking right at AppleBloom.

"Ima be fine, ya'll should be restin, savin ya strength." AppleBloom said in a quiet but hopeful voice.

"D-don't worry about... me... I just needed to know... that you're... safe... that is what's important to me..." The colt drifted back to sleep.

AppleBloom and everyone else in the room were nearly brought to tears. AppleJack took AppleBloom home.

The colt awoke to the sight of that same girl in the room the next day, along with a few others that he did not recall to see.

Nurse Redheart could see that he was awake and was somewhat aware of his surroundings although still had his vision clearly focused on AppleBloom.

"I am going to try and ask you some questions deary, now you can try your best to answer okay."

He had turned his attention to Nurse Redheart so she started. They watched in anxiety to see what was he was going to see what he was going to say.

"I hope the kid will be okay," thought RainbowDash.

"What is your name?" Nurse Redheart said slowly.

"I am sorry, I do not have one." he said. Everyone was shocked at the reply, how could he not have a name?

"Where are your parents?" she asked slowly.

"Vanished after the day I was born." he said. This was a huge shock to everyone, this colt had no name and his parents disappeared after he was born?

This was more than awful.

"Um..." Nurse Redheart tried to say something, but was too choked up to even let out a word.

"Do you wanna name?" said AppleBloom who had broken the shocking silence with an equally shocking question.

He looked at AppleBloom.

"You would do that for me?" said the colt.

"Yep, uh... RedTails!" she said enthusiastically.

"Now Apple-" AppleJack was quickly silenced as she the young colt stumble out of bed and hugged AppleBloom.

"Th-thank you so much, that's the nicest thing anypony has ever done for..." RedTails had become wobbly again.

"App-Apple..." he tried to say her name.

"Don't ya worry I got ya." said AppleBloom with a gentle voice.

Twilight took AppleJack aside.

"AppleJack, when RedTails recovers, I want you to take him to Sweet Apple Acres, to keep a close eye on him and... she paused

he would be best with AppleBloom there."

AppleJack was unsure at first but she knew Twilight was right.

"Alright," AppleJack said.

Episode 2

Disclaimer: don't own My Little Pony, again, ah dur

On with the show people!

Last time on Equestria, The New Heroes: A new pony or rather a young colt has saved Ponyville and life of his new friend AppleBloom.

Now, as he is awakening in the hospital, what will happen next?

Episode 2:

The mysterious pony! A new friend and a lost past! Part 2

About a week had passed, AppleBloom visited RedTails every single day. He had almost completely healed. When he was finally released from the hospital he

went home with AppleBloom and AppleJack. RedTails felt warm inside, joy that he had never felt before.

"And this is your room!" AppleBloom said with a huge smile on her face.

"Thank you AppleBloom," RedTails said with a soft smile. AppleBloom clearly noticed that her friend's eyes were barely keeping them selves open. Even though he

was healed, she could see that he was very tired.

"Why don't ya'll take a little nap?" AppleBloom said. She led RedTails to the bed where he feel asleep almost instantly. AppleBloom couldn't help but notice how

cute he actually was when sleeping.

"AppleBlo-"

"Shh! AppleJack! He's Sleeping." she said in whisper. They left the room, closing the door silently as they left. A couple of hours later it was noon and RedTails

woke up to an unusual sound.

"Sounds like a shaking tree," he thought. He yawned, got up out of bed, and went outside to find BigMac, AppleJack, and AppleBloom kicking or rather bucking

trees. He noticed it made the apples fall of the trees and into the buckets below. RedTails went up and started bucking trees to. A short while later...

"Phew, Alright let's get started on this pack of tre-" Applejack stopped when she noticed that the trees had already been harvested and she saw with

amazement as RedTails was bucking a tree and all the apples feel down on the first try.

"Well i'll be," said AppleJack. RedTails was really enjoying bucking every tree he came across. About lunch time at three o' clock, RedTails was attracted to

a new smell. He went inside to see what it was and there he saw AppleJack, BigMac, and AppleBloom waiting there for him with an odd object.

"Well bout time ya took a break," said AppleJack.

"Here ya go RedTails!" said AppleBloom with an ever so large smile on her face.

"Eeyup," said BigMac with his usual reply. RedTails looked at the object, the smell was clearly coming from it. RedTails was confused, what was it?

"Ya'll okay RedTails?" AppleBloom asked.

"What is this mysterious, sweet smelling object AppleBloom? " RedTails asked.

"Ya never had a apple pie before?" AppleBloom was really surprised.

"Pie? What is a pie?" RedTails asked. Well, at this point even AppleJack and BigMac were speechless.

"*sigh* it's food," AppleBloom said. The second that she finished her sentence RedTails took a slice a ate it in one bite. His eyes widened and a huge smile came on his face.

"THIS IS AMAZING!" shouted RedTails. The response made AppleBloom jump up and down with joy and RedTails jumped with joy with her.

The day had been amazing and when night came RedTails snuggled in bed and AppleBloom tucked him in herself.

It was an extremely cold night and the thunderstorm didn't help. RedTails dreams were taking large effect.

Meanwhile in RedTails dreams...

"NO! I have to keep it under control... I... no... the eleventh tail... GRA... GRAHHHHH!"

" I SHALL..."

"Don't give in!" shouted a voice.

"Come on Red! Don't die on us!" said another.

"You got this!" another voice shouted.

"Don't stop! Fight on!"

"Please... keep it up..."

"WE BELIEVE IN YOU!" He knew that last voice...

"AppleBloom?"

Meanwhile...

Princess Luna was shocked awake. She had just viewed a dream that she couldn't begin to describe. She quickly woke up her older sister, Princess Celestia,

and proceeded to try and tell her she saw. Something clearly stood out to Princess Celestia...

Eleven tails.

Back over on Sweet Apple Acres...

AppleBloom woke up to the sound of violent shaking nearby. She got up and went down the hall.

"RedTails? Ya'll alright?" she asked as she entered the room. RedTails was shaking like crazy and was mumbling in his sleep. She could even see slight tears,

he was having a horrible nightmare.

AppleBloom didn't just want to leave him there with a horrible nightmare, but she didn't want to wake him up. So she put her hoof on him and started singing

a soft lullaby.

"Oh my sweet, sweet apple, please don't cry

listen to the notes of my sweet lullaby,

oh my sweet, sweet apple, all that love we share,

all the times I, looked right and I, saw-you-there,

oh my sweet, sweet apple, all those times we share,

from the moment I saw you, and you saw me,

oh my sweet, sweet apple, please don't cry,

you and me are together forever and we will be,

to the day, we fly in the sky."

Inside RedTails's dream...

"AppleBloom... I" everything went to black.

Don't rest too easy now... RedTails was it? Well, looks like I found the last of them, but all in do time...

Episode 3

Disclaimer: Nope, still don't own My Little Pony

Let's do this!

Last time on Equestria, The New Heroes: RedTails had begun to live a normal life with who he now considered his new family. But now, the nightmare he had

will turn out to be something more and everything will change...

Episode 3:

The mysterious pony! A new friend and a lost past! Part 3

"Mmm... *yawn*... Morning..." said RedTails. When RedTails looked down the bed, he saw AppleBloom hunched over the bed, asleep.

"Oh, good morning AppleBloom!" RedTails said with a happy but drowsy voice. AppleBloom woke up and looked up.

"GAH! REDTAILS! WHAT ARE YOU DOIN IN MA ROOM?!"

"AppleBloom, this is my room, did I startle you?" RedTails asked innocently. AppleBloom looked around, good thing that AppleJack wasn't awake yet otherwise...

"AppleBloom are you alright?" She looked up at RedTails.

"Should I get the apple pie?" he asked. AppleBloom giggled.

"Naw, sorry, i musta dozed off when I came in here last night," she said. AppleBloom quickly realized her slip of the tongue when RedTails went silent.

"B-because ya'll were shakin like crazy so..." AppleBloom said nervously.

"The nightmare..." he said.

"Uh... yeah! Ya'll were having a nightmare!" she said in relief. RedTails got off the bed and went up to AppleBloom. She completely blushed.

"Your voice was beautiful when you sung that wonderful lullaby last night." RedTails said. AppleBloom's pink blush turned into deep red when she heard that.

"You were awake?" asked AppleBloom softly.

"No, your song made it's way into the nightmare I was having and everything became alright. But I knew that it must have been you singing because I have only heard one other song in my life." RedTails replied.

AppleBloom was a little surprised.

"W-what was the song?" she asked.

"My mother's lullaby, I can remember every word but her voice is lost to me. She sang it to me the night before they vanished. Even though I've had a photographic memory since I was born, all I can remember is the song, nothing else about her." RedTails said with a slight sad tone present in his voice.

AppleBloom immediately saw that she had just made the situation worse. She wondered what to say.

"L-let's go...uh, get breakfast!" AppleBloom was really nervous but was trying to sound enthusiastic.

"What is this "breakfast" AppleBloom? Is it another food like that apple pie?" RedTails asked.

"Well, at least he some what knows what it is," thought AppleBloom.

Meanwhile in an unknown area...

"Well what do you think?" asked a voice.

"He seems ripe for the picking!" shouted another voice. *slap*

"OW! What was heck was that for?!" shouted the voice again.

"It's that you're always being an impatient son of a-" the third voice was cut of by a fourth voice.

"Calm down, remember the last time you two fought? He nearly killed you two!"

"And I would do it, if not for the circumstances," said a deeper sounding fifth voice.

"Brazeken, go, have your fun," said the fifth voice.

Later on outside the home of Zecora...

"AppleBloom, you never told me who Zecora actually is." said RedTails.

"She's a really nice zebra and she all sorts of neat stuff in her house and she's really could with potions to!"AppleBloom said with excitement.

Zecora opened the door.

"Oh, hello AppleBloom, I did not expect to see you so soon it is only noon." said Zecora.

"Hello, Miss Zecora," said RedTails who was a bit shy.

"Oh I see AppleBloom, you brought a new company to attend, so what is your name my friend?" Zecora asked.

"RedTails," RedTails had never been more happy to tell someone his name, HIS name.

Zecora let them inside, but after a few steps inside, RedTails's tail started glowing much brighter and had transformed from yellow and orange like fire to an

actual red.

"Whoa, RedTails!, Your tail is actually red!" said AppleBloom. RedTails went silent and stared at the red box in the room that seemed to not be there a second ago.

AppleBloom saw that he was staring at the mysterious box.

"Zecora, what's that?" AppleBloom asked.

"I am not sure." said Zecora. There was a note on the box...

"A gift, RedTails, see you soon." The message just stopped. RedTails used his tail control to form his tail into a hand and made his tail open the box.

Seven pendants, all grey gemstones with a gold rim and a chain, probably to be worn.

"A gift huh?" said RedTails.

Meanwhile, on a road five miles away from Ponyville...

"Man... I can't believe he made walk all the way from the dang cavern all the way to this place just because of one little argument I had with Oramo, well at least I didn't have to go to urgent care this time..."

Back in Ponyville...

After saying goodbye to Zecora, AppleBloom said that they should put these weird pendants back at Sweet Apple Acres for safe keeping and RedTails agreed.

but when they walked through the door, instead of GrannySmith, BigMac, or even AppleJack, out of all the ponys...

It was Princess Celestia.

"May I speak with RedTails in private AppleBloom?" Princess Celestia asked.

"Quick , go put the box in my room," he whispered to AppleBloom. She nodded. When she left with the red box on her back, RedTails looked at Princess Celestia.

"RedTails, would it be alright if I asked you a few que-" The princess was cut off.

"You want to know about my eleven tails and the nightmare last night?" said RedTails.

"How did you-" the princess was cut off again.

"The eleven tails I could see in your eyes, I've seen that expression before. The nightmare, I sensed another presence in my nightmare and your emitting a

similar but not exactly the same energy." RedTails said with a now very serious look on his face. Princess Celestia was getting a little nervous now.

"Well-" and again, she was cut off.

"More specifically you want to know if I grow my eleventh tail if I would lose control?"

"Yes," Princess Celestia said.

"Well, I can summon the second tail, third if I concentrate hard, but any tail beyond that would have to be ignited by instinct or emotion. It's very rare that

eleventh tail does ignite though, and when it does, it would be only for something I truly wanted to protect. When I saw AppleBloom that day, I knew had to

protect her, I don't know why."

Princess Celestia was silent for little while until she said,

"Do remember anything about where you came from?" she asked.

"My past, is that of what I said, my parents vanished the day after I was born, I survived on my own, made my own food usually in the wild, and usually attacked a manticore for entertainment." Princess Celestia was dead silent.

"The first time my eleventh tail ignited... it just all went black and when I woke up was standing in the middle of a large crater." RedTails said sadly.

"I... I am sorry, please, make your self welcome here in Ponyville," Princess Celestia said trying to lift his spirits.

"Thank you," said RedTails.

Meanwhile at the entrance to Ponyville...

"Alright finally! Now... time for some fun!"

Next time on Equestria, New Heroes:

"Looks like trouble is brewing in Ponyville again, wait, what?! A guy who has a tail like me is tearing it apart?! AppleBloom grab one of the pendants I have a plan!"

Last time on Equestria, The New Heroes: As all dust in Ponyville had finally begun to settle from the beast attack about a week earlier and RedTails beginning to feel a new type of joy, not only has a mysterious red box appeared with seven small pendants appeared, but even Princess Celestia was concerned about RedTails, but the fear he had experienced the previous night in a surreal nightmare, was about to come to pass.

Episode 4:

Red vs. Blue! The clash of the tails!

Outside the entrance to Ponyville...

"FINALLY! Jeez, that walk took forever, well now that i'm here..."

Meanwhile at Sweet Apple Acres...

"So Princess Celestia, is there anything else you want to ask me?" RedTails asked.

"I... I am sorry that I questioned you on these things, I should have had more trust in you..." Princess Celestia said sadly.

"Hey, it's alright, i'm fine," said RedTails in an effort to try and cheer up Princess Celestia.

"Thank you, I hope to see you again soon RedTails," she said with a smile. In a flash she was gone. RedTails went to check on AppleBloom and found that she

was staring at one of the pendants.

"RedTails, I could of sworn that there pendant was glowin," said AppleBloom.

"Hm, why would they-" RedTails stopped when he saw one of them actually was glowing, not only that but when it glowed it changed colors from grey to red.

In an instant, the pendant flung itself on to RedTails's neck.

"Whoa, what is this thing doing?" RedTails asked. He remembered that note that was on the box, "A gift"... Was it meant for him? If so, why send seven? Who sent them in the first place?

AppleBloom was about to say something until a loud crash came from outside the house.

"What was that?!" shouted the now very worried AppleBloom. They both ran outside to immediately find AppleJack and BigMac on the ground, hurt.

BigMac was trying to get up and AppleJack had already passed out.

"We..., were commin from Apple sellin... w-when..." BigMac couldn't finish that sentence when he had passed out as well.

Large sounds of smashing and explosions could be heard coming from Ponyville.

"AppleBloom, get them inside! I need to see what's going on in the town!" RedTails said. AppleBloom agreed.

RedTails dashed to Ponyville as fast as he could. When he arrived he saw that the area had been evacuated, but then he saw what was causing this disaster.

He saw three of the type of beast that he had defeated when he first came to Ponyville.

"But how?! Are they here for revenge?!" RedTails thought.

"Why hello there," Red Tails saw a stallion standing under the three beasts. RedTails was shocked by his characteristics.

An adult, blue stallion with blue eyes and a black mane, wearing a black cloak, standing on his hind legs, and... a tail like RedTails except it was blue?!

"I see you take interest in my tail, no?" said the blue stallion. The three beasts turned in into large blue auras and were absorbed into his tail.

"So you're the one causing this destruction?" RedTails asked angrily.

"What do you think?" the blue stallion launched his tail forward like a beam at RedTails but he quickly dodged it and grew his second and third tails.

"YOU'RE GOING TO PAY FOR WHAT YOU DID!" RedTails shouted. He dashed towards the blue stallion.

"The name's Brazeken, don't wear it out colt," Brazeken said with a smirk on his face.

RedTails launched himself and was about to hoof kick Brazeken in the face until Brazeken countered with his tail. In which RedTails double countered with his

now four tails in which the pressure launched them a short distance away from each other.

"So you got your tail color already? I will admit you're a good amount stronger than I expected, finally something to get mind off of Oramo's stupid whin-"

He was cut off when RedTails uppercutted him with his hoof and slammed him back down with his tails. He tried his best to keep him down but Brazeken

quickly broke free. Brazeken sprouted three more tails like RedTails did and created two of those beasts in which he controlled like puppets.

"Attack," Brazeken said. The two beasts lunged forward at RedTails but RedTails grew his fifth and sixth tail and attacked three tails on each. He grabbed each

beast with three tails and slammed them together, making them disappear. But before he could react RedTails was struck in the back by Brazeken.

But instead of being sent flying, RedTails used the momentum of the strike and shifted it to his tail, striking back at Brazeken with the same force.

Brazeken was taken by surprise and was knocked back by the force. RedTails had sprouted his eighth and ninth tails and was starting to slightly lose control of

his actions. Brazeken took notice.

"What's the matter? Feeling a little sick? Here let me help!" Brazeken attacked with ten tails in which RedTails was doing his best to dodge while running

towards Brazeken. RedTails sprouted his tenth tail.

Meanwhile...

Princess Celestia received word that Ponyville was under attack, but this time, by a stallion who was blue and had tails like RedTails! She also received word

that RedTails was fighting the stallion in intense combat. After which more bad news came, BigMacintosh and AppleJack had been seriously injured.

She told the a group of the royal guards to go to Sweet Apple Acres and take AppleJack and BigMacintosh to the hospital as soon as they could . She was

going to go see if she could help RedTails. Meanwhile, AppleBloom, after receiving word that the royal guards were on there way to take AppleJack and BigMac

to the hospital, she was rushing towards Ponyville to help RedTails.

Back in Ponyville...

RedTails had been grabbed by Brazeken's ten tails.

"Grah!" RedTails wasn't crying out in pain because Brazeken was holding him, he was trying to fight back the eleventh tail from sprouting.

"Face the facts colt, you can't fight it back, you and I, we're the same, just let it go and join me," Brazeken said.

RedTails was losing resistance to the eleventh tail each second, he was doing his best to fight back but couldn't keep it up forever and he knew that.

That's when he realized...

"No..." he said.

"What was that?" Brazeken said.

"NO! YOU AND I ARE NOT THE SAME! You're a monster, heartless, and thinks that he can do whatever he wants!"

AppleBloom had arrived on top of a hill that was overlooking Ponyville and the battle scene, and she could hear RedTails shouting loud and clear.

"Me, I may have been like you once, alone, without anyone there, but then I found that I wanted to protect the peace of others, make sure that no one suffered that same fate. But now I have a new purpose..." RedTails looked up.

"To protect Equestria! To protect my new family! To protect AppleBloom!" RedTails was starting to break free and the pendant around his neck was beginning

to glow brightly.

"I fight the eleventh tail and I fight you not to protect myself but to protect others!"

"Why would you bother burdening yourself with all this garbage, down to one of your little friends," Brazeken smirked.

"APPLEBLOOM IS MY VOICE OF REASON! SHE SEPARATES ME FROM MONSTERS LIKE YOU! THAT IT IS WHY I WANT TO PROTECT HER! PROTECT...

ALL!"

The pendant had now given off a great flash, making Brazeken let go of RedTails.

RedTails had transformed, now adult size, wearing crimson armor, the pendant's hexagon gem now on his chestplate, and his tail had grown much longer.

"Wow, flashy, now what exactly do you-" Brazeken took a powerful hoof to the face.

RedTails attacked relentlessly, Brazeken was doing his best to dodge but couldn't keep up. Seeing an opportunity Brazeken tried to attack but then was frozen

in his tracks by a magical aura and was too weak to fight it back. Princess Celestia had flown down.

"That's enough from you," said Princess Celestia. She now looked at the transformed RedTails, speechless.

"This is pitiful even for you Brazeken," said a deep voice that came out of nowhere. Four more of these ponies had appeared. An orange tailed one,

a green tailed one, and purple tailed one(who by the looks of it, was female), and a white tailed one who spoke.

"Get up, we're going." said the white tailed stallion. A pulse was seen from the white stallion that instantly broke Princess Celestia's hold on Brazeken.

"Ugh, fine." said Brazeken.

"WHERE DO YOU THINK YOU'RE GOING?!" said RedTails a terrifying, booming voice.

"All of you go ahead, i'll be there in a minute," said the white tailed stallion. They all nodded and there tails swirled around them, engulfing them and the other

four disappeared while the white stallion stayed. RedTails readied himself for a fight.

"So many things to learn, RedTails. I can see under all off that ferocity is curiosity. Tell you what, find the answers to the questions you have now, and once

you have, find us, find me, and have that final question answered for you. Until then," he said as his tail engulfed him and he disappeared.

Nothing but silence.

"RedTails?" Princess Celestia asked.

RedTails transformed back to normal, he was severely injured, he passed out and fell to the ground.

"RedTails!" AppleBloom shouted as she came down the hill.

One week later...

RedTails woke up in a familiar looking room, a hospital room. He remembered the fight and what the white stallion said, then everything went black.

He remembered the pendant, sure enough, still around his neck, red now instead of gray.

He stumbled out of bed, it was a bit wobbly to walk but he made his way, until he was about to fall over. But something caught him.

He looked up and saw AppleBloom with smiling with tears streaming down her face, she hugged RedTails.

"Is... the town safe... are you safe?" he asked.

"Yes I am," said AppleBloom softly.

"AppleBloom, I..."

"Don't say anythin, just rest." AppleBloom said.

Next time on Equestria, New Heroes:

"School? What's a school AppleBloom? Is it another type of apple pie? Woah, AppleBloom what happened?!"

Episode 5,

Test of inner strength! Ring that school bell! Part 1

RedTails learned that after the major battle against Brazeken, he had been in something called a "coma" for a week. Though his injuries were severe he made an

unbelievable rapid recovery. The ponies of Ponyville regarded RedTails as hero, saving them twice in a row. RedTails was happy to go back home to

Sweet Apple Acres, where GrannySmith, BigMac, AppleJack, and especially AppleBloom were happy to see him again, back home. RedTails happily went back to

helping harvest the trees and GrannySmith taught him how to make his absolute all time favorite food, apple pie. Things around the farm were less silent than

usual, there were ponies from all over Equestria came to see him, RedTails had no idea why. Next thing he knew, he woke up to beautiful saturday morning.

"*Yawn*... ah, another great morning..." said RedTails. RedTails could smell the eggs, BigMacintosh's breakfasts were amazing. He entered the kitchen.

"Good morning everypony..." said RedTails in a drowsy but happy voice.

"Mornin RedTails..." said AppleBloom. Something was off about AppleBloom. She clearly wasn't tired, yet her voice was quiet and her cheeks were red.

This started when he first came back, when he tried to say something to AppleBloom when she was thinking about something, her cheeks turned red.

Unknown to RedTails, AppleBloom was thinking about what RedTails said last week during the fight that blue stallion, Brazeken. He wanted to protect

AppleBloom with all of his heart and she knew that now. She was feeling something...warm...

"AppleBloom?" said AppleJack.

"Huh? Yeah AppleJack?" said AppleBloom.

"Can I talk to you?" AppleBloom followed AppleJack outside the kitchen.

"What's on yer mind AppleBloom? Why are ya gettin all blushed whenever RedTails asked ya somethin?"

AppleBloom knew that she couldn't lie to her sister, and saying that it was nothing wasn't going to slide either. So she told her sister the truth.

"Hm..." AppleJack thought. She put her hoof on AppleBloom's shoulder.

"Don't ya worry about it, if RedTails asks, tell em the truth and everythin will be fine," she said softly.

Meanwhile...

"So we have a deal then Mr. Taurus?" asked the pony.

"You bet we do! I'll keep show stoppin and you keep the cash rollin!" said the buff stallion.

"Great, you're next show is scheduled in Ponyville, have a nice time," said the pony.

As soon as the buff stallion left the room, the pony said,

"Make sure "it" is prepared for his show..."

In Canterlot castle...

"Any sign of change Luna?" asked Princess Celestia.

"No sister, his dreams have been normal, but they are all the same for some reason,"

"The same how?"

"It's a floating island, every single time,"

"Hmm... I need to send a letter."

Meanwhile in Ponyville...

"Hi you guys!" said Scootaloo excited to see AppleBloom and RedTails again.

"Hey guys!" said SweetieBelle for the same reason. They all met outside of the Carousel Boutique in which they proceeded inside. RedTails hadn't been to

Ponyville much in his time there adding to that was that "coma" thing he was in for a week, so he really didn't have a good time to look around.

RedTails had officially been sworn in as a CMC member the day before, after a very "detailed" explanation from the three on what a cutie mark actually was.

"So, what is a boutique? Is it another pie?" at this point, unless proven otherwise, RedTails assumed that everything mentioned was a variation of pie.

Before SweetieBelle went into a super winded explanation on what a boutique was, AppleBloom was able to stop her by saying,

"How bout we just head inside," said AppleBloom.

"Wow this place looks amazing," said RedTails.

"Why thank you dahling," RedTails eyes focused on the white fur, purple maned, elegant pony now standing in front of him.

"This is my sister Rarity," SweetieBelle said happily. RedTails noticed the strong resemblance.

"I'm sorry dahlings but I am very busy and I have a very important client coming in this afternoon," said Rarity before nuzzling them out.

"Don't worry I will have some free time later talk, now run along now!" said Rarity with a large smile on her face before slamming the door.

"Well, okay then, let's head to the library next," said Scootaloo.

Running along the path to the library they finally made thier way inside to be greeted by a baby purple dragon at the door.

"Hi spike!" said AppleBloom.

"Hello!" said RedTails trying to be friendly. Spike definitely knew who it was, in fact, all of Ponyville knew.

"Hi RedTails!" Spike would be lying if he said he wasn't ecstatic to meet RedTails. Suddenly, Spike burped out a letter.

"Wow! What a cool ability!" said RedTails.

"Aw, thanks," Spike. RedTails lifted up the letter, It was addressed to him.
