The Fire Stalkers.
Previous ChapterNext Chapter"Are you ready Ms. sparkle?" V-Two called out to Twilight, wanting to find the bearers of the elements, worried about Equestria's peace, even if he couldn't feel emotions in general. "Yes, come on spike." Twilight called to her assistant. "I'm sorry Ms. Sparkle," V-Two began taking off his small grey shades "but the dragon can't come, he will only weigh us down." Spike had came into the room "Why would I weigh you guys down?" Spike asked, wondering why he couldn't come with Twilight.
"Of course you can come Spike." Twilight said "V-Two, while we're on this journey, YOU'RE going to listen to me! Got it?" V-Two looked emotionless, as he always seemed to appear to Twilight "Fine, but if anything happens, I'm doing what I deem necessary. And that's usually to attack any thing that seems, or is hostile." V-Two said, putting his small shades back on. "Uhh, V-Two. You know that those barely cover your eyes, right?" Twilight asked.
"Do I look blind Ms. Sparkle?" V-Two said, showing some anger. "Sorry.... Hey, before we go, can I ask you something?" Twilight asked. V-Two turned to Twilight, showing some more anger "Yes, what is it?" V-Two said. "Well, you said that Princess Celestia made it so that you knew everything, and that you could live like an Alicorn. Why take did she do that?" The Pegasus stopped right at the door, as he was turning the handle "... I'll tell you later, that right now isn't important." V-Two said.
The three left on their adventure, and went to the southern plains.
"Ms. Sparkle, we're coming up on one of the villages! They're the Fire Stalkers, they won't attack, so long as any of us makes any threats!" V-Two said to Twilight. They finally made it to the village, which held a bon-fire in the middle of the village. "Halt!" A guard said "What is your business here out-siders?"
V-Two walked closer to the guard. "We come to see your chief, Smokey Wind. May we have an audience with him?" The guard stood there for a minute, thinking on what he should do. "Fine, follow me." The guard then took V-Two, Twilight, and Spike to the Fire Stalkers' chief.
"Welcome, children of loyalty. What brings you here?" Chief Smokey Wind asked. V-Two was about to say something, but Twilight said something before he could. "Ma'am, we're looking for my friend Rainbow Dash, a cyan Pegasus mare with a rainbow mane and tail. Do you know where she is?" Twilight asked. "Oh, you mean the Goddess of loyalty! She is here in the village, she lays in the hut with the most guards around it. You'll find my son over there, protecting the Goddess of loyalty with his life." The chief said.
"Thank you ma'am, we'll be on our way." V-Two said, taking Twilight with him. "Ms. Sparkle be careful. I sense that one of the Fire Stalkers is not like the rest. I believe he betrayed his village by taking your friend, and bringing her here. I'll be back." V-Two then took out his small bag, and used the yellow dust to go to Canterlot Castle.
"Oh, V-Two it's great to see you back so soon. What did Twilight need?" Celestia asked her son. "Hello Mother, it's great to see you as well. Your student Twilight needed, and still does needs me, to help find her friends, who mysteriously disappeared last night, after they turned the Draconequus to stone." V-Two said to Celestia. "Really? That's odd, who would've taken them?" Celestia asked. V-Two looked disappointed in himself "I'm sorry mother, all i know is that it was one pony from each of the Tribes of harmony. I have no knowledge of who it was, each of the ponies was cloaked in some form of masquerading clothing. I beg for your forgiveness!" V-Two said, hoping his mother would forgive him for failing on helping Twilight so far.
"It's ok my son, there's no need to beg for my forgiveness, I'll forgive you no matter what." Celestia said, then used her magic to levitate V-Two over to her, and hugged her son. "Now, why don't you go back to Twilight Sparkle?" she asked, giving V-Two a new bag, with purple dust. "When you blow this onto yourself, you'll be teleported to my student. Now go." Celestia informed V-Two. "Yes mother, I-...I love you." V-Two said, hugging his mother. V-Two broke his hug, and walked in front of Celestia, then teleported back to Twilight.
"So, that's how I found you Rainbow. Anything you wanna know?" Twilight asked Rainbow Dash. "Yeah, how come you had the chance to know where the elements of harmony were, when Discord hid them yesterday!?" Dash asked. "I'm sorry Rainbow, I didn't remember about him." Twilight apologized. "Well, I'm glad to see you two are talking about me." V-Two said, having arrived back next to Twilight "Ill be right back, I'm going to talk to the chief."
V-Two walked outside, and ran the chief's hut. "Excuse me sir, may I have an audience with you?" V-Two asked the chief. "Well of course, you are welcomed to have an audience with me." Smokey Wind said. "Thank you sir. I believe someone in your village may have been disloyal, and actually brought Rainbow Dash here. I don't know who, but it was a stallion, be careful sir. There's a traitor amongst your ponies." V-Two informed Smokey Wind. "Hmm, well, the bon-fire has decreased in size. And the bon-fire grows, as the loyalty of any Equestrian gets stronger, and when their loyalty weakens, the bon-fire goes out. So you are right, somepony must've brought the Goddess of Loyalty here. We know, that the bearer of the element of loyalty wouldn't just show up here on their own, they'd have to choose to come here, and your cyan friend was confused as to why she was here."
"Ah, thank you Sir, I must be off now, we need to find the other bearers, for you know as much as I do, that the bearers must stay together in one place, at all times if anything threatens Equestria's peace." V-Two said, then left the hut, and went back to Rainbow Dash, Spike, and Twilight.
"Ok V-Two, where are we heading?" Twilight asked the Pegasus, wanting to know which friend was next to be found. "Well Ms. Sparkle, we are to go north-west, to find your friend Rarity." V-Two said, as they all departed the Fire Stalkers' village.
The traitor that was known about saw them all leave. "Buck, it didn't work, she was supposed to stay here!" He said to himself. "Hmm, perhaps the others will not be so easy to convince on leaving the other villages?" He said to himself, whispering.
