The Super Avatar of Equestria

I wake with a soft yawn to see Cadence still asleep next to me. I smile when I see that she seems to be having a good dream. I don’t want to wake her so I stay there, and wait for her to wake.

Cadence wakes after two minutes. I let her see me, then give her a good morning kiss. She sighs into me, and I just pull her into a hug. We both pull away from the kiss at the same time.

“Good morning beautiful.” I tell her.

“Good morning handsome.” She replies.

“Want to get dressed then go to breakfast?” I ask her. She nods so we get out of bed. I take the clothes I have worn for the past few days, and take them into the bathroom with me. I turn on the bath on the hottest setting there is, and let it get four inches deep. I then turn off the bath, and bend the water out of the tub. I throw my clothes into the floating water, and make the water scrub them clean.

I let the water back into the tub, and pull my wet clothes out of the now empty bathtub. I put my clothes on while they’re still wet, but bring my hands together to make the reverse black hole happen. I was completely dry, and just had to do my hair.

Cadence enters the bathroom, and sees me doing my hair.

“I didn’t know you did your hair.” She says as she comes up next to me.

“I have to look at least presentable when I go out in public.” I tell her. She giggles at this. I just roll my eyes. She puts on her hoof shoes, and proceeds to brush her mane.

“Would you like me to do that so you can relax?” I ask her.

“Sure, I need to put make up on anyways.” She tells me. I just shrug and grab the brush from her magical grasp. I then start to brush her mane for her. There weren’t any knots or tangles in her mane, it just needed to be straitened. For this I was thankful for, cause I hate trying to get knots out of my hair. I would rather kill myself than hurt Cadence in any way, shape, or form.

I was finished with her mane, so I move on to her tail. I only looked at her tail, never once did I take a peek. I ran air currents through her tail so that I could speed up the process. I then take a little moisture from the air, and lightly mist her mane and tail. I freeze the water particles and step back to view my work.

Cadence literally sparkled in the light. I smile and silently congratulate myself.

“Wow, it would have taken me hours to make my hair sparkle like that.” says Cadence with her eyes lit up with joy.

“I froze the water particles that I had misted onto your mane and tail, and as long as you’re near me it will stay like that.” I tell her.

“That was very sweet of you, thanks.” She says as she turns around and kisses me. When the kiss was over I was wearing a warm smile on my lips.

“Your happiness is what makes me happy.” I tell her. We both exit the bathroom, and exit our room to head to breakfast. We walked side by side, and made small talk on the way to the dinning hall.

When we made it to the dinning hall I opened the doors for Cadence and I with my air bending. We both enter the dinning hall, and sit next to each other. Celestia looks at me.

“Avatar, may I ask why you ignored Luna’s request?” asks Celestia. I look at her and blink.

“She was asking to know why the star Sol was purple, and I told her I didn’t want to remember what I did when I made it purple.” I answer her with a professional voice. She takes her time in replying.

“Will you tell her tonight?” She asks.

“That depends on when I get back from Ponyville.” I tell her.

“What are you doing in Ponyville?”

“Well, first I’m going to go see a potion master in the Everfree. I then am going to go see Rarity, the element of generosity, about getting me some new clothing for me to wear. I can’t keep wearing the same clothes every day. That would be a drag, and the ones I’m wearing now would fall apart faster.”

“And I plan on going with him.” Cadence adds in.

“Going on a date afterwards?” asks Celestia with a small grin.

“Well, I’m going to have to earth bend some gold out of the ground to pay for everything I’m going to get, so I see no harm in getting more to take Cadence out to dinner.” I say aloud.

“No need for that. I still have yet to pay you for completing the task I gave you.” Celestia says as she waves a hoof at Luna, who just entered the dinning hall. Luna now tiredly makes her way to the table, and sits down next to Celestia.

“I forgot to ask how the currency works in this world.” I say out loud.

“Oh, well there are four types of bits.” says Cadence, “There are copper bits, which count as one, bronze bits are worth ten, silver bits are worth fifty, and gold bits are worth one hundred.”

“Royalty and the highest of nobles have crystal bits, which are worth five thousand bits.” says Celestia, “The others that get a crystal bit have to go to a bank to exchange it for gold bits.”

“Not to be rude, but that seems kind of redundant and unnecessary for the crystal bits.” I tell her.

“How is that so?” She asks, listening for my input.

“Well there are ponies that sell high end equipment or items that others may need. If a pony who isn’t a high noble gets a crystal bit, they should be able to use it just as if it were a gold or silver bit.” I tell her, “It seems rude to me that you of all people would make lower class ponies waste their time to exchange their crystal bits for no reason.” Celestia stares at me like I just shot a guard.

“I was just speaking my mind Princess; I wasn’t trying to offend you.” I tell her. She is still staring at me, but now without the death I saw in her eyes. I hear a waiter walk up to the table. His hoof steps were quiet, but I still heard them. He passes out menus to all of us, except I got a red menu instead of a green one. I raise an eyebrow, but pick up the menu none the less. I open it to see that I couldn’t read Equestrian. I sigh and put the menu down.

“What is wrong Artermis?” asks Cadence.

“I can’t read Equestrian. I can speak it because it is exactly like my native language back on Earth, but it is written differently.”

“How so?” asks Celestia.

“Well we used letters instead of symbols, here let me show you.” I tell her. I decide to use my water bending as a scribe, since I didn’t have any pieces of paper, or a writing tool. I gather moisture from the air into a big basketball sized blob.

I float it over to Celestia, and form it into the alphabet. I add more water to it to make the letters bigger. I then freeze them all.

Celestia looks at me confusedly. I just stand up and walk over to her. I only walked a couple feet her way, literally.

“This is the English alphabet.” I tell her.

“This is the written form of Grogish.” She replies. I raise my eyebrow at this.

“Even with the knowledge I have Celestia, I don’t know that race, or species.” I tell her. She looks taken aback by this.

“The Grog are the first sentient species on this world, they are dieing away at a very slow pace, and the last population count was around the three hundred thousands.” says Celestia while she looks at me.

“Well humans were the only sentient species on my planet, which is now empty, and dead.”

I fight to keep my emotions under check. I only shrugged the pain away on the outside, but I knew Cadence could sense my pain.

“So the Grog have the same language as humans did. Interesting, I’ll have to look into this later.” I thought aloud.

“They speak it completely different, and probably used the letters differently, but more or less it is the same.” Celestia says to me, probably happy to teach me something new.

“Well this is how humans would write my current name.” I tell Celestia as I move the letters into position. I made a few more of the same letters so I could spell my name correctly.

“The grog would have spelled it like this.” says Celestia as she lights her horn. As soon as her magical aura enveloped the letters they melted. I grasp the water with my chi, and refreeze it.

“I guess I’ll have to move the letters. Point to them, and I’ll move them.” I tell her. She points her hoof at the letters she wanted, and I put them up in order. The finished product was very strange. All the grog did differently is spelling the words like they sounded.

“Oh that is too easy to read for me. They spell it like it sounds, this is too cool.” I stand up, and bend the ice back into water, then return it to the air.

“I don’t even have to learn a new language.” I say aloud, “Well that fixes that problem.” I tell Celestia as I walk back to my seat. Celestia just smiles, and waves her hoof to a waiter. She says something I didn’t pick up into the waiter’s ear. I then watch as the waiter brings me a black menu.

“You should be able to read that one.” Says the waiter, as he sets it down in front of me. I pick up the menu, and read it just fine.

“Thank you.” I tell him. He nods, and walks off. I look through the menu, and find my favorite breakfast. Corned beef hash with a pancake and a slice of toast. I smile and put the menu down. I notice that the others are still choosing so I sit back and wait, concentrating my hearing with my air bending.

I could hear everyone’s breath, and even their heart beats. This startles me I bit so I stop listening that hard. Before I could tune it down all the way I heard someone’s heart stop beating. I started searching frantically for the one whose heart had stopped.

I found out that it was one of the maids that were waiting for orders at the sides of the room.

“Excuse me.” I say as I stand up. I walk strait towards the maid whose heart had stopped. It was still stopped; she was having a heart attack. I start moving faster, I was walking at full speed half way to her when she collapsed. I then break into a run. I tune my hearing up so much that I could hear her breath.

“Good she’s still alive.” I say as I roll her onto her back. The other maids were panicking. I start CPR on the mare, and hope that this would work. I did this for thirty seconds, all the while listening for her heart. I stop using CPR and stand up.

“God I hope this works.” I say as I ready my chi for my first try at lightning. I point my middle and index fingers strait out on both of my hands. I start charging electricity by doing the movement to separate the energies in the air. I saw electricity jumping from my moving hands.

“I won’t let you die, not while I’m living!” I shout as I release the lightning into the mare’s body. After the lightning stuck her I could hear her heart start up again. I fall onto my rear, breathing hard.

“I saved her. She’ll live.” I tell every maid that had gathered around us. I hear cheers after that. I just tune my hearing back to normal so that it didn’t hurt. I see the mare start to move. I stand up and pick the mare up.

“I’m taking her to the medical wing.” I call out to everyone. I hear clopping and turn to see Cadence following me. I slow down a little and let her catch up.

“What happened to her?” She asks me.

“She had a heart attack. I just did my avatar duty in saving her from the claws of death.” I say as I continue walking. I was having trouble holding onto the mare, so I made the air float her next to me.

“What is her name?” I ask Cadence.

“That’s Feather Touch; she is the newest addition to the castle staff as of yesterday.”

“Now I know what caused the heart attack.” I say aloud, “It was the stress of the job, she had too much of it, and her heart couldn’t handle it.”

“I didn’t know somepony could get a heart attack like that.” Cadence says while looking at the mare.

“How did you make the lightning?” She asks.

“That was the first sub element of fire.” I tell her, “I just bended lightning for the first time.”

We made it to the medical wing, and I handed Feather off to the doctors. A nurse comes up to me.

“You saved her just in time, though a little extreme, if you waited any longer she would have died.” Says the nurse,

“I want to know when she is able to see visitors; I need to speak with her.” I tell the nurse. The nurse nods, and walks away.

“Why do you need to speak with Feather Touch?” asks Celestia.

“I heard her heart stop, I need to speak with her, and maybe train her.” I tell Celestia.

“Why do you want to train her?” asks Cadence.

“Because that lightning strike didn’t just restart her heart, it gave her a bending ability.” This makes both princesses drop there jaws. I smirk at this for a whole second.

“How do you think this happened?” asked Celestia.

“I have a small theory about it, but I’m not entirely sure.” I say as I bring my hand up to my chin.

“Well what is your theory?” She asks.

“It might have been the electricity I used. The chi that was in it might have unblocked her chi font, causing her bending abilities to awaken.” I think about this for a second, “Princess, when was Feather born? Not the date, but the time of year.”

“She was born mid-summer. Why?” She asks. I take off towards a nurse.

“I need you to activate the fire alarm; Feather Touch is going to be the cause you need to get every one out of here, now!” I tell the nurse with panic evident in my voice.

“Sir please calm down.” Says the nurse in her professional voice.

“Artermis, what has you worried so much?” asks Celestia.

“When a bender’s abilities are awakened that abruptly they can’t control their power, causing an explosion of that element, and if I’m correct Feather is a fire bender.” I tell her. This makes Celestia widen her eyes.

“Nurse, activate the alarm, this is not a drill.” says Celestia, she turns towards me, “How do we stop it?” I shake my head.

“I will have to take care of it on my own. Only the avatar can stop an explosion like this.” I turn towards Cadence, “I need you to get as far away from the medical wing as possible.” She nods and flies off, “That includes every one.” I say to Celestia. She nods and lights her horn.

“No magic, it messes with bending ability, and if I’m to stop it, I have to be able to bend.” I tell her. She nods, and leaves with haste. I now turn towards the nurse.

“You have ten minutes top to evacuate, I would say more like five, but I might be able to contain it for that long. Where is Feather’s room?”

“The room is at the very end of that corridor.” She says pointing to a set of double doors. I blast the doors open with my air bending. I dash down the hall, which was rather long, with my air bending, using the longest strides possible. I got to the door in thirty seconds. I open the door get inside, and close it.

I see a doctor next to Feather, so I walk up to him.

“Sir you need to leave now. She isn’t running a fever or anything you know about. She is going to unleash years of pent up chi in a fiery explosion.” I tell the doctor with as professional a voice as I could muster. He didn’t respond. I grab him, and burn my hand. His fur was charred not black. I then look at Feather to see that her clothes were just a burnt mess around her.

I saw that, and took a lot of the chi I had left, and blew a hole in the roof with one big blast of air. The hole was six feet in diameter. I then ducked into a corner and earth bended me a small shelter. I then punched the ground to make stone walls to cover the current walls.

I could hear the chi in Feather starting to escape. I had used the entirety of my available chi in making the preparations. I curled up in my small shelter, and prayed for the best. I heard Feather scream as her body released the fire. All I heard after that was the crackling of fire, and the heavy breaths of Feather Touch. I come out of my shelter to see that my walls are now gone, and the originals were burning. I see Feather laying in the ashes of what use to be a bed.

I walk over to the barely conscious pony, and listen to her. She was breathing very hard, and her heart was working to calm her down. I could hear the moisture in her coat sizzle away. Her eyes were shut tightly, and she had ash staining her coat.

I put a hand over her to feel the heat coming off of her. She was still too hot to touch so I waited for her to cool down. It took a whole ten minutes for Feather to cool down enough to pick her up.

I look up at the hole I had made, and see that it is mostly intact. I sigh and use my ki to fly up and out of the room. I then flew towards the garden, and landed next to a pond.

The pond was only a foot deep, so I gently put Feather into it. The pond worked to cool her off. She was still probably sixty degrees warmer than a regular body temperature.

After two minutes I pull her out, and walk with her in my arms to the palace entrance. I enter, and start for Cadence’s room. I’m flanked by four guards as I continue along the halls. I make it to Cadence’s room, and walk right in. I lay Feather on the big couch, and sit on a giant pillow that was in front of the fireplace. I hear hoofsteps coming in my direction, and turn to see Celestia walking up to me.

“How is she?” She asks as she sits down next to me. I sigh.

“She survived, but a Doctor was killed in the explosion. There aren’t any remains to bury.” I look to Feather, “I minimized the damage to the medical wing, and had to cool her off in a pond, or she would have lit herself on fire.” I look down at my burnt left hand. “I tried so hard to contain the explosion that I used all of my available chi. I can’t heal my hand, or even bend with it anymore.”

“I could try to heal it for you.” She offered. I just hold up my hand to let her try. She lights her horn with a soft pink glow and my hand did the same. I watch as my hand slowly returns to its normal color and shape in a matter of seconds. When Celestia finished I flexed my fingers, and made sure all of the nerves functioned. I then smile at Celestia.

I stop smiling when I hear Feather shift. I look at her to see her sleeping soundly. I give a soft sigh and turn back to Celestia.

“What should I do with her? I could train her to use this power, or I could block it once more. I want you to decide.” I tell Celestia. She thinks about this for a few moments.

“Would this happen again?” She asks. I nod my head, “Then I want you to train her with this new ability. Make sure she has control over it. I will resign her from the palace staff, and mark her as your student.” I nod, and Celestia stands up. I stand and say, “I will be staying here today to teach her how to at least keep it under check, then I will be taking her to Ponyville with me tomorrow, and introduce her to my other student Apple Bloom, who is an Earth bender.” Celestia nods and walks out of the room, and in comes a crying Cadence.

She runs up to me, and I pick her up. I walk over to the bed, and set her down. I sit down next to her, and hug her closely. She returns the hug in vigor. I just rub her back, being mindful of her flight muscles. When she stops crying and pulls away, I see that she is a mess.

Her mane was damp from the water I had froze in it. Her mascara was staining her cheeks. Her eyes were puffy and red. I pull her in for a soft tender kiss.

When we pull away I grab a box of tissues, and start cleaning her up.

“Now, now Cady, I’m right here, nothing is wrong.” I tell her as I wipe the mascara streaks off of her cheeks.

“I know, it was just so scary to see the column of flames come bursting out of the roof that I thought you were dead.” She tells me. I move onto her mane, stroking my fingers through it, and slightly straitening it. When I was done I look her in the eye.

“It’s going to take a hell of a lot more then fire to take me away from you.” I tell her. She snickers, and I smirk.

“What would it take to kill you?” She asks.

“More then the apocalypse, cause I already survived one.” I tell her. She giggles at this, and I just cup her left cheek with my right hand. I brush my thumb across her cheek, and she leans her head into my hand. I lie down next to her, and she follows me. I pull her closer, and we lied there, and cuddled until we fell asleep.
