The following story takes place two months after the events of The After Party.

It has been two months since the events and a lot has happened. So the real question is, where to begin?

A week after the events, I was invited to Canterlot by Princess Celestia and Princess Luna. When I arrived, I remember Celestia asking me if I’d consider becoming an adviser on her behalf. I had to be honest, explaining that I really wanted the position but couldn’t accept it because I had unfinished business to attend to.

I was currently preoccupied with teaching a student, a young colt named Clank, whom I was training in the ways of meditation. He was a remarkable student, but he always lacked focus. He would try and fail then try again, only to fail time after time. I kept telling him, “Everypony fails but we thrive to succeed when we are calm, eager, and well focused.”

He kept trying but, as truth be told, he failed every time. To make things worse, for some reason he believed that I was the reason he was failing. He grew angry, eventually becoming out of control to the point to where I had no choice but to knock him out. When he awoke he ran out the door and left.

Another week passed and I was summoned to the hive, where I was to meet with Zircon about a serious situation. When I arrived, I knew immediately something was wrong. Zircon says to me, “Sequoia was attacked, and the attackers tried to force information from her. We don’t know what she told them but we do know that she asked for you. Be aware, we believe whoever attacked her is planning something big.”

I ran to the hospital and walked into a room with a seriously injured Sequoia. She looked at me and tried to smile but the pain overtook her. She slowly said to me, “You are the only one, who can save her, you are the only one who has the knowledge and care to find her, and you are the only one that I can trust to bring her home. I was stupid for sending her to Manehattan, but I now realize that you will bring peace and harmony to this family.”

I looked at her and said, “You want me to find Lily? Then I need you to tell me where exactly she is and if your attackers know where she is.”

A tear began falling from her eyes and she said, “I gave them a false location, I told them that she was living in a library on the edge of the town. She really is staying in the hive located beneath Manehattan. You will need to talk to Grandmaster Pondi, he will take you to her. If anything happens to her...”

I looked at her and put my hoof down and said, “Nothing will happen to her, not until whoever or whatever tries to hurt her kills me first. I promise to bring her back safely. I also promise to find those responsible for this, and bring them to their knees upon the council.”

I left and went back to the hive. When I arrived Zircon said to me, “I want you to meet your team, the ones that will help you bring the attackers to justice. Each of these ponies have unique talents but what sets them all together is the fact that they have no cutie mark. I’d like you to meet the Demolitionist, Dynamo Gunderson. We found him trying to save a whole town from being obliterated. This is Dr. Shenanigans, the best Interrogator of them all; Your Trackers and Hunters, Weep and Sleep; Sgt. Fears, and, not to be underestimated, Monstershy. We found these four hunting down timberwolves but Monstershy took it a step forward, devouring them. These ponies are the best that we’ve got, and they have been ordered to follow your orders. Your mission is to find the attackers and bring them back for their punishment. Your second mission is to find Lily Peace and bring her home. Any questions?”

“No Zircon, but when can we expect to leave,” I ask.

“Immediately, that’s enough time to catch the next train to Manehattan, and to get acquainted with your team, see you soon Wisdom,” says Zircon, as he walks away.

I got to talk to these 5 ponies. They were all quite ecstatic at the chance to go and find the attackers; what we didn’t know was who or even what we were after.

We began our Journey towards Manehattan. The train ride was smooth and calm but that all changed when the train was suddenly attacked. We turned ourselves in, so that we could meet our attacker face to face.We were blindfolded and I was wearing my robe to cover my face. When the blindfolds were removed, standing in front of us wearing a hat was none other than Clank.

He smiled and said, “Well, look at what we’ve got here; the ponies that are suppose to bring me in. Ya’ll don’t know this but I intend to get revenge on that hive for all it’s worth. Even if I have to kidnap one of their own children to do so, I will.”

“You will fail, that is, if you stay on that current course!” I say while remaining inconspicuous.

He laughed, “Oh really, and who do you think you are?” (He looks to one of the attackers) “Remove that ponies hood.”

He does so and I am revealed.

“Wisdom! Wow, I can’t believe you think you can stop me.”

I said while smirking, “I don’t think I can stop you, I know I can stop you, Monstershy let him have it.”

Monstershy eats his ropes and the others and a fight breaks out. Clank hops off the train and before I can catch him he climbs onto a carriage and drives away. We have the other attackers roped up and begin the interrogations. Dr. Shenanigans begins the interrogations while the rest of us prepare to arrive to Manehattan.

When we arrive, a group of ponies wearing hoods approaches us and tells us to follow them and to bring the few attackers that we have. They take us to an almost destroyed Hive and tell us that Clank kidnapped Lily and Pondi and is holding them hostage somewhere in the city. Thus, we knew that our Journey had begun.
