“NO! What are you doing!?” Hollered the black earth pony, as he chased Scootaloo throughout the cottage. The cottage is packed with wooden and toy weapons and bean bags, cushioning Applebloom as she fell off a shelf. Sweetie belle is lied in the corner, tied up, waiting until Applebloom frees her.

The cottage looked relaxing on the outside; the surroundings were sedate with a stream powering a wheel that served no real function. Fluttershy trotted up to his doorstep; but halts upon hearing the sounds of crashing, then sudden silence. She slowly creeks the door open, hearing the sound of the tiny white unicorn was singing a lullaby as Starsteel was passed out on his bed. Fluttershy’s eyes widened as she let out a soft ‘awe’ as he rolled in the covers, his aqua blue mane covering his eyes and hanging in a similar fashion to Fluttershy.

The three young fillies walk outside beside Fluttershy, who is trying not to giggle too loudly.
Applebloom looks up puzzled "are you sure, ya’ll are related?”
They start walking down the gravel road as the breeze picks up.
“He is adopted yes, but he is still my brother through and through.” Replied Fluttershy
“Ohhhh, so he is adopted? Any idea who his Parents were?” asked Applebloom.
“I have not a clue in the world who his parents are, nopony really does.”

Scootaloo looks back toward the cottage, “does he know we left with Fluttershy?”

"He’ll be fine!" said Sweetie, her voice cracking

Meanwhile back in Ponyville Twilight Sparkle was standing outside her library, she gazed at the sky, lost in a daze as her minds drifts around pondering the omen that she felt. Her heart felt heavy as she gazed toward the ever free forest.

Applejack was doing her usual bucking as Big-mac pulled cart after cart toward the barn filled with red delicious apples. Applejack moves to the next tree but stops a few feet away, noticing something strange about it. “brother, what is that?”
The red stallion turns his head toward a lemon tree, “Starsteel planted it as a joke.” He replied.
Applejack sighs and skips the young tree “lemons… really?” she said shaking her head at the childish prank.

Rarity, Rainbow Dash, and Pinkie Pie were at the boutique, Rarity was applying finishing touches to two identical prêt-a-porter dresses. Pinkie Pie and Dashy are perfectly still, trying not to move while Rarity uses her needles.
Rainbow-dash was clearly bored ”how much longer?”
Rarity replied, “You can’t rush perfection.”
Rainbow-dash replied calmly, “I’m not, I’m rushing you.”
Pinkie Pie starts to smirk, ”well you said you are twenty percent better at helping-“

Fluttershy walks in through the well decorated building with the three crusaders following behind. The three crusaders are pointed into a corner, where they sit and watch as Fluttershy walks across the room ”you three seem awfully well… quiet.” Rarity asked suaspiciously.
They start to smirk as the doors are broken down by a mad black and sobbing young stallion who grasps Fluttershy and starts screaming.

“oh my gosh it’s terrible the three kids are gone and I can’t seem to find them they must have ran off to make sculptures out of composition four or worse…” he starts panting, exhausted via his mad dash to the boutique.
His face froze, as Fluttershy was somewhat surprised, the gears grind in the young mare’s head.
She starts to sob as well “I know it’s awful! A yellow, pink maned, pegasus swooped them up and off where you can’t find them.”

She turns around trying to hide her snickering, as Starsteel begins to continue baying about the three foals; Rarity, pinkie, and Rainbow Dash, who were knocked over by the sudden busting of the doors but trying not to laugh in his face.

Rarity walks up to him looking sad ”there there Steely, I’m sure this crazed foalnapper means well.”
Starsteel stares at her in disbelieve, ”are you thick in the upper story!?” he bleated pressing a hoof on her forehead.

He turns around and stops at the entrance “you will all help me find this pink haired mare…”
He stopped abruptly realizing what he was saying; so he runs up to Fluttershy’ why you little!’
Every pony began laughing as Starsteel tickled Fluttershy.

Twilight Sparkle walked toward the boutique with Applejack when the town’s residents began rushing back indoors.
A pony screamed “It’s flying this way!”

The six friends rush down the road to see a low flying horse, but something was off about it. The horse was different; it had a shorter muzzle and eye brows, well decorated but bloody and covered in holes.

The frantic creature crashed into twilight’s library going through a window. The six friends approached with extreme caution, they found it as it tried to lay itself down, inevitably falling over. Bludgeoned and bloody it laid in the center of the room.

Twilight turns back responding to Starsteel, who ran behind, he came up right next to the creature.
Starsteel and twilight kneeled next to him, feeling unsure they looked at each other.
Starsteel spoke first “I know a smidgeon of medical stuff, let me try to help the bleeding.”
He points to Fluttershy and Rainbow Dash “you two get a med kid and a hot iron.” He turns to twilight “and a knife, there are metal things imbedded inside this creature.”

The creature opens an eye “Ceeştitu!? Ca nu conteazaacum.”
Starsteel asked, “doYyu speak byoni? Espaniol? Francais?”
Twilight looked puzzled ”how many languages do you speak?”
He looks down sympathetically at the creature “Fifteen, but this is a new one, I heard this Zecora mare speaks Swahili as well as a few others, we should go grab her.”

Twilight rubs his forehead, trying to calm the creature “you will be fine.”
The creature spoke again ”Timpulmeu a venit violet unul.”
It uses telepathy to place a strange key in her hoof; it resembles a fancy plus sign that made her nervous.

“Aceastăcheie este un importantartefact, vorsă-l folosiţi, utilizaţi-l pentru a deblocaadevaratraului.”

Twilight sets the key on the ground, hastily the creature picks it up again and places back it in her hoof ”Asculta! Niciodată nu… trebuiesăpuneţilui ... a ...”
Starsteel starts wiping off the blood “his vitals are fading” he says sadly.
“Timpulmeu h-h-has ... c-vina.. asta e tot ... ca ... probleme.” The creature whispered.
The flat faced equine faded into nothingness as his body became cold, a piece of paper was hanging out of a pocket.
The two pegasi returned shortly after, but with sadness they knew they were too late.

Starsteel stared at the key as if into nothingness ”that item, he was being chased, if he is a flying psychic from another area we never heard of then we must be ready for everything.”

The ponies stood around the creature. Starsteel looks around nervously “soooo…”
Twilight sets the key on a table “I will send a letter to Celestia.”
“I… should go show this to Zecora.” Fluttershy said hesitantly.

Spike was frozen, his eyes were that of disbelief and confusion, standing at the door to the library he let shouts of terror, his stuttering was incomprehensible, and sounded like a frantic cooing. Twilight and Starsteel rush outside, both faces turned to a face of disbelief as they took in the sky above the Everfree forest. A pillar of ghastly clouds arising, a faint wail of mass hysteria filled the air. As the other ponies gazed upon the cloud, it recessed, leaving possibly the largest fountain of blood in history, the village ponies began fleeing from the streets.

Fluttershy leaned over to her brother” what exactly is your talent?”
Starsteel thinks on his cutie mark, an angel’s wing with a chain and star overlaying it in fine detail.

“The… the supernatural… I fight evil…” he was hesitant, questioning his career, the young colt knew he was over his head.
