//-------------------------------------------------------// Written as Moon, but Red as Light -by Quasar4000- //-------------------------------------------------------// //-------------------------------------------------------// Ignition //-------------------------------------------------------// Ignition Written as Moon, but Red as Light By: Twain Apprentice Darkness... it's all there is. No up, no down, no left, no right, no time and no light. But there is one thing that exist in the dark void is him. Unconscious but alive, still no showing signs of awakening. His body is now in front of a being, a being who's body is fairly humanoid and has the height of 7 feet. His large red and yellow eyes keep it's line of sight on the body as he kept on having a twist grin that never seemed to falter. “Hmm, is he awake yet Ryuk?” asked the Shinigami Ryuk laughed, “should be soon enough”. “Well keep him in this state. The old man is still discussing with someone and we don't want to have any interruptions.” The Shinigami said as walk away. “Ehh heh heh heh heh heh, don't you worried about that my friend”, Said Ryuk under his breath, “He'll stay nice and sleeping until what to do with him.” As Ryuk stared at the body, he couldn't help but to say a few words before its gone. “Well, like I said, you failed. The human world will just going to have to go on without their so called “God”. You weren't anything special, I must admit, you're not a savior, not a god, and not even that red plumber from the video games. No... you're just a human. A human who really was very immature and childish who wanted to play the god. You kill your own kind as a way to "purify" the human world, that belief is what you use to justify the deaths of others, it absolves you of the guilt, saying that the deaths of evil and those who defied the "God of the new world" is for the "greater good", and look where that got you. Eh heh heh heh, how ironic, but I'll also admit, I'm going to miss those times we spent, we killed some boredom together and did various interesting things. So thanks for the fun... Light Yagami." As Ryuk gave his final words to Light another Shinigami appeared. “Ryuk, it's time. Bring the human in”. He said Ryuk did as he was told and levitate Light to the meeting room. As he came in, the Shinigami king was with someone. She seems to look very much like a human, aside from from all the clothing Ryuk saw in the human world she wore a white robe and her hair is long and flowing and had white feathery wings exposed on her back. To put it simply, an angel that has come into the Shinigami world. “Ryuk, bring the body here”, the Shinigami king said in a gravely tone. Ryuk complied and brought Light's body in front of the King. The Shinigami king inspect the body and said to the angel, “So... what do you make of him?” She looked at Light's body for a while as she gently placed her right hand on his forehead. She closed her eyes and concentrated. Visions of death and darkness came into her mind. Such powerful memories of Light using the deathnote and the devoid of humanity in his being was enough to make any human go insane. After a few minutes, she let go and open her eyes. “It has seemed that this human has done many terrible things with these deathnotes you have. The power of knowing that he could take lives have corrupted his sanity.” Ryuk laugh, “yep I sure showed him the power of what a deathnote can do”. The angel was slightly irritated by Ryuk's behavior of treating lives like a game. “Fool, you have given this man something that brought such deaths to his kind.” She said sternly “I don't ma'am, what do take us Shinigami for, humans?” Ryuk replied with humor. The Shinigami king instantly knew what's about to escalate and intervene. “Ryuk, stop with this nonsense! We have a guest here from another world and at least showed some respect.” “Fiiiiiine, Apologies ma'am” Ryuk said sarcastically, but slightly bowed The angel knew Ryuk was still fooling around by decided to let that go and resume to the matter. “As I was saying this man seems to have been corrupted by the power he wield and I believe something has to be done.” she said “What do you proposed?” questioned the Shinigami king. “I'm saying we should gave him a second chance”. “Look, I know where you're from and has these views on redemption--”, but the Shinigami king was cut off. “No, it's not his fault that billions of lives were lost. Like I said he became corrupted by the power. I looked through his memories and he didn't had any thoughts about killing prior to discovering the notebook." Ryuk laugh at her claim. “I'm sorry to burst your bubble there Missy. But when I came to the human world, he had thoughts about the world being rotten or something and he soon started to kill because he got became bored.” “No, that's not what I believed, of course he had those thoughts like you claim but he didn't had the motivation to kill and went down that dark path till you drop the deathnote for him to pick up.” She said grimly “So? I just wanted to see if he'll won't or will use it. Not my fault he used it for mudering his kind babe” Ryuk said nonchalantly. The being then had enough with Ryuk's behavior and started to angrily approach him. “Why you insolent--” The Shinigami king then intervene again. “Would both of you stop this and return to the subject of the matter. I don't have all the time here.” He said as he groan. The angel then cleared her throat and straighten herself out. “Right, my apologies.  About the human, I propose that he should be given the chance to walk among the living again.” “Are you certain about this?” Said the Shinigami king “I am” She finished “Eh heh heh heh, I don't know, if that's such a good idea. Wouldn't the humans react if they found out that a person has rise from the dead?” Ryuk said “I'm not talking about bring him back to life in the human world, but somewhere else.” She proposed The Shinigami king ask, “where do you think we should sent him?” "I'm still thinking of the matter." Ryuk then had an idea and proposed the location. “If I may, how about we sent him to that Equestria place” “Equestria?” Said the angel and the Shinigami king at the same time. “Yeah”, Ryuk said as he continued, I did a little time traveling after Light's death and this TV show that humans made for entertainment is known as “My Little Pony: Friendship is magic”. It showed about 6 pastel colored talking ponies learning about the magic of friendship in Equestria.” I watched at least up to 3 seasons of it by travelling further in time to each year that a new season starts before coming back home. The being and the Shinigami king ponder about this information that Ryuk gave them. “Well, even though that sounds ridiculous. But never the less, that world does exist. What do you think of Ryuk's suggestion?” The Shinigami king asked the angel. “I think it's perfect, there, this man can learn from the natives views on harmony and friendship which will help fixed the mistakes he has made while living.” The angel said genuinely “Then it's settled, he will be sent Equestria on one condition, his memories of the deathnote must be erased and he must become the age when he found it. Do we have a deal?” The Shinigami king said “Deal” She said “Before we sent him to Equestria, I want to give something to Light.” Ryuk said “What is it do you want to give to the human Ryuk?” Said the Shinigami king “Well, I have been saving this for some occasion”, Ryuk then pulled out a large skeletal looking object. “I combine this with some magic that might come in handy for him in case when things get rough”. The angel muse at this. “Why Ryuk, I didn't know you seemed to care for this man.” Ryuk dismissed her claim. “I don't. I just consider this as paying Light for the fun I had during those 5 years.” “Maybe, but even all beings have kindness” She said “Feh” “Alright then Ryuk, bring the object to me and I'll bond it to the human.” The Shinigami said Ryuk brought the object near the king and Light's body on the floor and the Shinigami king started chanting to performed the ritual. The object and Light's body was glowing in a neon purple color as identical looking symbols appear under them. As soon as the Shinigami king finished the chant, the Skeletal object disintegrated in a mass of light, the light flowed into Light's body and the symbols then faded away. “There, I bonded it to his soul. Whenever things might occurred, he can call it to by will, it'll come to him. No other living being can use his weapon unless he willingly lend it to them with the intention of trust.” The Shinigami king claimed. “Heh heh heh, good to know old man”. “By the way Ryuk, what do you added to the object to help this man?” The angel questioned “Oh you know, magic stuff.” Ryuk said "What kind of "magic stuff"? She said unsured of Ryuk's claim. "A couple of bodily enhancements. Light's condition will be at a superhuman level; his strength is increased 50 fold, enough to stop a missile about a size of a football and throw ones that are at the height of himself, bend metal as strong as steel or iron, destroy any sentry guns and rip POW from tanks, jabbed his hand threw human and animal bodies, and even lift grown men and women that are twice his height into at least 10-15 feet in the air with one hand. For durability and endurance; his bones, flesh, and skin has been upgraded to the point that he can withstand being hit by vehicles that going at the speed of 100 miles per hour and not get anything broken or get any cuts, take explosives to the face from rocket launcher missiles, he'll only get stunned and will receive slightly amount of damage, and when being hit by a someone at a peak condition, the wrist and the knuckles of the said person will break. For agility, speed, and stamina; Light could run faster than a car going at 50 miles per hour, he jump at least 8 feet in the air or more, move to short distances so fast than any brain of a being could process which will appear to be teleportation and could last more longer than any human that are at their peak state. For his healing factor, it's low level. Meaning that he can heal minor cuts, bruises, scars and burns in a matter of minutes, broken bones within at least a day or two, critical injuries within a few months but thanks to his enhanced durability that will pay for the long run, repair his vision if his eyes are still intact and reattached amputated limbs if by earliest. For his senses, vision allows him to see very far distances that are greater than an eagle and be in great detail, his sense of smell will allow him to pick up the scent of things at least 40-50 miles away, his sense of touch will allow him to feel the air currents around him and sense seismic vibrations happening to the ground, his sense of tastes allows him to tastes objects or food in greater detail, his hearing will be so great that it'll allow Light to hear things far away and able to use echolocation, Light's reflexes should be amp up to the point to at least see objects going at 30 mph such as arrows and maybe bullets, and he'll have a low level six sense that allows him to sense some form of danger. For mental, Light was quite an intelligent and quick-thinking human. But I think he'll might need more intelligence in Equestria, so his intuition is now been enhanced to the point that he'll learn anything within a couple of minutes and with the ability to speak and understand any animals." Ryuk explained The angel looked at Ryuk as he finished explaining the powers he had given to Light "Well? Was there anything else you added? The kitchen sink, perhaps?" She asked "Well that's all I know, unless if the power of the object allows Light to developed more powers, why not." Ryuk replied "Oh, alright then" the angel said unsure about this. "At least it'll help him in his new life. Prepare to open the portal." She and the Shinigami king faced to an empty spot. The angel closed her eyes and concentrated her mind while the Shinigami king's entire body glowed purple. Soon her body started to glow bright and a small tear appear in front of them. The tear soon grew bigger and larger until it was fully open. The angel open her eyes and turned to face the Shinigami king. “It's ready, as soon as his body passed through from this portal to Equestria. He'll only remembered that he died by the hands of Kira whom he only knew and see him as a serial killer in a confrontation on a roof during the day he had to go and take his entrance exams to To-ho University. Also he'll be wearing the jacket he died with and some other clothing and accessories from the age he found the deathnote along with a new appearance.” The Shinigami king nodded at this. Ryuk looked back at Light's body. He picked him up and went near the portal. “Well if he's going to another world can I at least do the honors and throw him in?” Ryuk asked Both nodded and Ryuk prepared to throw Light through the portal. As he reeled his arms back with Light on his hands, he muttered in his head. 'Have fun Light, it sure had been interesting.' Ryuk then thought of the count down from the human world as the astronauts were prepare to take off into space. 'Ignition on! And we have..." With that thought he threw Light into the portal and it quickly closed. '...blast off.' “It has seems that my work here is done, it's time to head back. Farewell you two. Oh and Ryuk...” “Hmm?” looking back at her. “I still think you do cared about him as friend.” She said Ryuk scoffed The angel giggled at his remark and proceeded to fly off into the dark gloomy sky before swiftly going back, giving a quick peck on Ryuk's cheek and whisper something in his ear. “My name is Bella, by the way", She said flew off and disappear out of sight. The Shinigami king then headed back to his chambers while Ryuk raised his hand to where Bella left the kiss and reminisce her words. “You do cared about him as a friend.” Ryuk shook his head and flew off throughout the Shinigami world. 'Geez, being around in the human world is starting to get me.' Ryuk thought as he flew throughout the realm. 'Perhaps I should eat some apples for the time being.' (Meanwhile in Equestria) Princess Luna was asleep until a strange surge shock her awake. She looked out the window and stared at the starry night sky as it was almost time for sunrise. 'Hmm, I wonder what was causing that disturbance. I must see if big sister can help.' Luna pondered She then got up from her bed and head to her sister's chambers. As she got to there, Celestia wasn't in the room. Luna then remembered that her sister must be at the balcony ready to raise the sun. She turned to the window and flew out. Luna headed to the balcony and found her sister there, raising her wings with her horn glowing and slowly the sun raises. "Good morning dear sister", Luna said as she flew next to her. Celestia turned to see her sister and smiled. "Good morning to you as well Luna", she said in a gentle tone as she nuzzled her sister "It thou is a great morning." Luna commented "Indeed it is Luna. Is there something you want to tell me?" "Yes big sister, we have felt a disturbance in the air. We suspect that something is going to happened." Celestia ponder on what Luna was saying and reply. "So you sense it too little sister?" "We take it thou has the same feeling as well?" Celestia nodded "It has seems something is going happened, but we're not sure." "Big sister, we must do something to get ready for this" Luna said "Of course Luna,  For the time being we must be careful or something will happened. I'll inform Twilight Sparkle about this. Meet me in my chambers after breakfast." Luna complied and flew off into another section of the castle. Celestia then looked back at the wide view of Canterlot and further into Ponyville as the sun shine over the land. 'I hope nothing bad will happened. But if it does, we must be prepare to defend our subjects and everything in our home.' Celestia thought and flew back into the castle. //-------------------------------------------------------// Arrival //-------------------------------------------------------// Arrival In the mind was dark. So dark as if you can't see anything else. All was quiet and calm, there stood in the darkness was Light Yagami. 'What... is... going on?' Suddenly, a surge of unbearable pain course through his mind as he clutch his head and gritted his teeth. 'Ahhhhhhh!!! What... is... this?' As Light clutch his head in agony, he began to hear voices. 'Murder...' 'Pain...' 'Death notes...' 'KIRA**'... With that said, a bright light appear, blinding Light's vision and soon he awaken. Light's eyes shot open and gasp. He breathed heavily as he started to get up until a pain erupt in his chest causing him to winced. Ugh! Why does my chest hurts? As a matter of fact...' He looked around his surroundings and it seems that he's in the middle of a grassy field. The weather was a bit cloudy and the wind blew gently. '... where in the world am I?'. Light slowly got up as the pain started to shimmer down and look around for anything out of the ordinary. 'Hmm... how did I end up here? Wait, who am I? What is my name? Why can't I seem to remember?' Light wonder as he held his hand to his head in confusion with his eyes shut until he open them after a short while and notice something different. "What the...", Light looked at the sleeve of his arm and noticed that he's wearing something that he never knew of. Light then notice a pond that was near him and hurried over there to take a look at himself. As Light got to the pond and looked, he was surprised. Light was wearing a black coat that looks a little bit big for his size along with a white button shirt and a frilly scarf that looks like what an English gentleman wore in the 19th century. His pants seems to be a type jeans, wore a belt with a large "M" shaped buckle and he wore cowboy looking boots. He wore a messenger bag, a red tie has been wrapped around his forehead instead of his neck as a headband. Light also noticed that he wore goggles that he never seemed to remember to owned and to his confusion even more, his hair was all spike up. 'What in the... where did this came from?' Light ponder as he inspect the new clothing. 'I don't remember anything'. He grunted in frustration and clutch his head. 'Why can't I remember anything!?' Distraught, Light brought his fist and hit the ground in frustration, making a small crater of some sort. He noticed this and became somewhat shock by this display of strength. 'What the! How did...?' Light looked at his hands, spectacle of this action Light spot a flat medium size rock on the right of himself. He picked it up and broke it in half. 'Whoa! One second I woke up with no memory of myself and the next I'm like that guy who can swing from web to web.' Light was surprise at this new found strength, but quickly remembered his situation. 'Regardless, I must focus on the problem other than this.' Light tried to think hard to remembered but nothing clicked. He looked around and found no sign of the civilization. 'Great, here I am in the middle of nowhere and it looks like there's no towns or cities nearby, heck I don't even know where I lived or even have a home.' He sigh. 'Perhaps I shouldn't panicked, someone should notice that I'm missing and the authorities will appear to find me, even though I can't seem to remember who I am. But they might help by identifying me.' Light then notice that a forest seem to appear in the horizon and to even more to his surprise, could see in great detail from this far. He raised his hand near his eyes. 'I'm just full of surprises today ain't I?' Light then looked back to the forest. 'Although, it wouldn't hurt to take a look around.' Light check his messenger bag to see if there was anything useful. He pull the zipper and open the bag and found something more unusual. His pack contain 4 bottles of water, 2 big bags of consommé flavored chips, 3 cans of soup noodles, one box of pepperoni pizza that is somehow still warm, a compass, and a combat knife w/ holster. Light was puzzled at this sight as he couldn't remember packing any food nor had a knife with him. Nevertheless, he took one of the water bottles, open the cap to drank some before putting it back in his pack and taking the knife out. Light closed his pack, attached the holster to his belt and headed off into the forest. Little did he know that his adventure was just beginning. (In Ponyville) "Twilight! Twilight!" A purple dragon yelled as he came down the stairs where Twilight Sparkle was, reading books. "Yes, what is it Spike?" "The princess sent a letter." Spike said as he handed Twilight a scroll. Twilight open up the scroll and read: Dear Twilight, I have sent you this message for a very important matter. Luna and I felt a strange disturbance in the dimensions as something terrible is about to happened. Bring the other elements along to Canterlot for an important meeting immediately as possible. Your mentor, Princess Celestia P.S. bring Spike along as well 'It seems the princesses have discover something bad, I must make post haste' "Spike get the others, we're heading to Canterlot in half an hour." Twilight said Spike saluted and head off into ponyville to tell the others. Twilight stared out the window, it was somewhat cloudy and she was feeling kinda edgy about what Princess Celestia said. 'If something bad is happening, we'll stop it. No matter what.' Twilight thought as she went to gather the necessary items for the trip. (Everfree forest) Light venture into the forest. He walk through the thick woods as it begins to get dark as he went further in. He looked around the forest and noticed something strange. There were mist forming in the air, which only grew thicker as he went in further. It soon became foggier and Light could barely see anything now. After for a few minutes he heard a growl. It sounded very loud to his ears and even feel movement in the air. 'Another one of my mysterious abilities.' The sound of steps started coming closer 'Great, I'm about to be attack by a wild animal and it hasn't even been an hour since I awoken'. Light then smelled something as well, it smelled like someone had really bad breath. Must belong to the predator that is about to maul him. Light grab out his knife and spotted a long wooden stick, he grab the stick and quickly whittled one end into a sharp point. He then firmly held the stake and quickly formulate a plan and deduce the outcome. Time seemed to slow down as Light goes through an analysis. 'Hmm... steps are somewhat loud, predator must weigh around 200 pounds, must be a fully mature adult. pacing of the steps are going at an interval of 2 seconds, must be in its prime. Male or Female: unknown. Smell of the breath is quite strong, must have wide experience of catching its prey by the teeth. Here's what I'm dealing with; a quadruple creature, obviously carnivore, an adult and a very experience one indeed. Probably a bit arrogant as it seems to think it got me where it wants me. But I'll have tricks up my own. First, wait for the sound of the steps to come closer. Next, the best strategy is to sneak behind me as a blind spot. It will seem that its prey will be completely clueless and would go in for the kill. The sound of the steps will get very loud indicating a charge. Then, by the split second the sound makes a deep thud predicts a pounce. The air currents will feel very frenzy. Lastly, as it gets almost to the point of feeling skin contact, return with a whack to the muzzle.' As Light finished his analysis, time seemed to flow back to normal and the action will commenced. Slowly, a creature was moving silently to Light. Avoiding to let its prey know that it's sneaking up behind it, the creature move closer until Light's back was in it's line of sight. It move silently but swiftly and made its move to strike. It would seem that the creature expected that the outcome will result with the prey becoming its food as it pounce into the air onto Light's back, but unknown to the creature, it turned upside down. As the creature was about to make contact, Light smirk... 'Just as I predicted' ...and quickly turned around and whack the creature to the side, knocking it back a few feet. The fog soon cleared up a bit. Light was finally able to see what was his attacker. Upon laying his eyes on the predator he was surprised. 'What the...' The creature was somewhat of a canine-like creature and it was quite big, slightly bigger than a wolf. The entire body looked like it was entirely made of wood. Its eyes were bright yellow and it seems to have an angry looking expression. A Timberwolf has appeared! Light was certainly in for a surprise. 'Is that a... wolf? It looks like something out of a fantasy book.' The wooden wolf growled at Light and prepare itself in a battle stance. As Light saw this, he two took a stance as well. Both of them stared at each other in silence. The wind blew gently. The leaves fall. And the two remain still. Light then went into another analysis moment. 'Alright, it seems running away wouldn't work. He or she would just chase after me and probably have my scent by now.' Light then quickly scanned the trees around and saw eyes hidden in the shadows of the leaves. 'The trees seem to be occupied by whatever those eyes are shining through so climbing is not an option either. Last option, go toe-to-toe, "man vs wild".' Light thought as narrowed his eyes, clenched his teeth and grip the stake firmly. 'For now, test to see if the wooden wolf could understand my speech patterns' "Alright, it seems to me that we're in quite the predicament right now isn't it?" Light said to the wooden wolf. The wolf growled slightly, seemly agreeing with Light's claim. 'Subject appears to be quite intelligent, but still this fight is going to happen.' "It's just us right now, but make no mistake Fido." Light pointed "You an I knows that only one of us are going to be walking away from this right?" The wolf nodded and prepared to fight. "Okay...", Light then pointed the the sharp end of the stake at the wolf, wore the goggles over his eyes, and put on a stern expression. "Let's dance" (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mek8agSKD2s) The light breeze around paused, the leaves stop falling, and time has come to a halt. 'Time for another *"Analysis Mode"*' //-------------------------------------------------------// Explanation //-------------------------------------------------------// Explanation Moon, Zecora, and the timber pup trek on through the forest. The forest started looking less foggy, but vines were still there but some of the trees was looking less of a jungle and more of a forest. As they kept walking Moon couldn't help but ponder on his recent situation. 'Hmm, what have I seen and learn so far? Woke up with little memory of what has happened, learned that I have some abilities that seemed to be classified as "superhuman", fought an adult wolf made of wood, had a strange dizzy spell, and found that animals can talk. Quite a predicament I am in here, but I guess this just makes things a little more interesting from here then on.' Moon looked at Zecora from behind and started doing another one of his analysis. (Analysis Mode) 'Subject in sight: Zecora. File no contingencies, codename: Shaman Species: Zebra Gender: Female Zecora seem to speak in a rhyme. Guesses could range from natural speech functions or a sort of oral custom. Accent seemed to be African, possibly originated from a land similar to the people of Africa, except with zebras. More evidence of similar behavior to Africans, mane is style in a Mohawk fashion, eyes seemed are in a calm state when meeting me indicating a wise mind set, residence in a hut in a forest surrounded by nature away from civilization, Gold ear piercings and bracelets worn in a certain fashion which means she seem to care little for style, certain pattern on the flank seemed unknown, must ask about that to Zecora when we get to our destination, and finally, the directions to her hut of the Everfree seemed to say that she has experience in many wild habitats and saying that she could give some medical care to the mother shows to have a wide experience and knowledge of medicine and plant life. With these traits, Zecora could be more of a help to me for the time being. Must get some questions answered from the looks of it and possibly I can try to learn more of the place I am in.' (Analysis completed) "Moon, are you alright? You seem to be quiet after your fight." Zecora asked "Oh, I'm fine Zecora. I'll tell you when we get to your home." With that answered, they continue walking in silent. It had been only a couple of minutes before the Timber pup speaks up. "Say Moon, I notice that when you and mother fought. There was a small crater that was on the ground where her head was and now your carrying her without effort. Are all... hyoomans are like this?" The Timber pup said with curiosity. Moon looked down, "well, actually no. You see, my species are not really this strong as average. Although if a human were in at a peak condition, he or she could lift up to at least 1000 lbs." The Timber pup looked in amazement as his eyes got bigger. "Wow, that's neat! So does this means you're one of those types of people?" Moon shook his head. "No, even though I can remember my name. I can't remembered what or who I was like before all of this happened and I'm pretty sure I didn't have this ability since then." "Oh, if that's the case then why are you this strong then?" The Timber pup said Moon shrug, "well, that I'm not sure, but it looks like I have develop some kind of enhanced strength of some kind if I could beat your mother into submission and made a crater in the ground which that'll take somewhere around 300 lbs of force and carry her around as light as a feather. It seems somewhat of a mystery, but kind of makes sense once you ponder about it." As Moon mention about the mother, he immediately felt the guilt flowing in his head. "Oh and... sorry what I did to your mom, she must have some resistance if she was able to withstand my strength." The Timber pup's ears dropped, and spoke softly. "At least you didn't kill mother. She may have seemed aggressive to anyone she meets whether pony or animal, but I always know deep down she only did that to protect me from harm." "A reasonable thing for a parent to do when taking care of their offspring while living a life where the only thing to survive is to "kill or be killed". It seems that's the same everywhere now and then." "Yeah", the Timber pup replied "But, you know what kid." Moon said to the Timber pup with a warm smile. "I just want to say you got a good mother here. As much as I known about the history of the human race, there have been those who abuse their own flesh and blood and even disowned them and claiming that they're not their children. But, you want to know something?" The Timber pup look up and  with his ears perk up. "Yeah?" "To me, family isn't about blood related. It's about caring for those who are important and dear to you. Those who you want to protect and make sure they're happy." Moon said as he turn his sight at mother that he is carrying and looked back at the pup. "They're those who are blood related, but have different views and personalities that might conflict, but seemed to share a connection no matter what. Then there's those who do care for others as families, but lack of sharing genetics that doesn't seemed to give a stronger connection. But with you two, that's different." Moon close his eyes softly and continue. "You two share the same the blood, the same flesh, the same DNA, and you cared for one another very much with a strong connection. Your mother will always love you no matter what the outcome. May it be getting enemies or getting herself killed to save you or even if you hate her. Cause that's what mothers are for." Moon said to the Timber pup with a smile. "You really think so?" "I know so" The timber pup stare at Light with a sense of awe. Here was someone who was getting attacked by his mother and got nearly killed. Anyone would hold a grudge and felt hatred toward those types of beings. But here was a creature who forgave and understand the ways his mother was following and even though his mother was quite bad to other's eyes but to Moon, when finding out about their life, he instead saw the good in his mother instead of the bad and understand her predicament. Maybe... maybe he could give his mother a new sense of hope, pull her from the shell that had she had harden herself, and show her ways that will help her find her way home. As of this day forth, the timber pup will always remembered Moon's kind words. "Thank you, Moon. Maybe you can help my mother in a way that might change both of our lives for the better. I'm very glad we got meet you." The Timber pup said genuinely. Moon smile, "I was thinking the same thing." As the two finish talking and continue to walk, Zecora couldn't help but to listen to their conversation. Although she couldn't understand the Timber pup, she could hear Moon's words and sense that they were genuine. She did had doubts in her mind about the human, but those words have erased those doubts and reminded her of what the other ponies thought of her when she first came to Ponyville. 'Maybe there's more to this human that meets the eye' With that said the trio finally reached to Zecora's hut. "Here we are at my humble a bone, but inside will be quite nice to prone". Zecora said as she went to the door and open it leading the two inside. Moon and the timber pup went inside and were quite astonished by the decorations in Zecora's home. There many masks ranging from big and small and some of them very detailed in facial features. In the middle of the room there was large black pot full of water, which is boiling at the moment and Zecora lit a candle to illuminate the area and started pouring in some herbs and other plants in the water. Over by the far left of the decorations is a bed with a leopard skin blanket. "Zecora, can I put her on this bed?" Moon asked "Of course, and please wait while I find the bottle of force." Moon walk toward the bed and gently laid the unconscious mother on it. Moon then took a seat near the bed. The timber pup walk to Moon's side and hopped on his lap. He then looked at his mother with a worried expression. "Moon... I was wondering, do you can't really remembered who you were?" The timber pup said "I'll be dying if I'm lying my friend. I really can't recall the events that happened to me other than today." Moon reply The timber wolf ponder on what to say next. "If that's the case, how do you know about my mother's intentions. You're like an alien to this world and have no memory of who you are. How do you know this things if you can't remembered if you experience them?" The timber pup said. Moon think about the pup's claim, and spoke in a quiet and gentle voice. "That's a good question, but you see... that's how I truly feel about your mother in a way. Sure I may or may not experience about intentions to protect your family, but what I do know is that during in the middle of the confrontation, I was in anger, I only thought of surviving and after your mother manage to crunch me, I snapped. The next felt like desperation and I just let her have everything. I was going to do it until you came and stop me. I saw how you reacted to your mother's unconscious state and watching you being so sad and so scared, I felt this emotion, I felt guilt, regret and sorrow for what I was about to do. And I know I said this two times already but, I'm truly sorry for what I was about to do. For almost taking the only family you have in this world at a young age." The timber pup's ears drop and his expression seem sad. Even though that this stranger was about to kill his mother, he couldn't help as his mind to tells him to hate and resent Moon of his unforgiving actions, but deep down, he felt that he could trust Moon. There was something about him, like almost that he knows him for a long time. It was confusing for the pup, but maybe one day he'll figure it out. "I know that I already say this and I'll say it again. Thank you for not killing mother and thank you for understanding her intentions." The timber pup said as he looked at Moon. Moon smiled, "I may be an enigma, I could be even a bad person, but I am not a heartless bastard. Cause that's not me." The timber pup chuckle. "Yeah... that doesn't seem to be you at all." As the two finished their conversation, Zecora came to them holding a green bottle. "In this bottle that appeals, is what your mother needs to heal" Zecora said as she went to the mother's body and carefully pour the liquid in the mouth. But unfortunately, the mother choke a bit. "She can't drink while incapacitated. Let me try it Zecora." Moon said Zecora obliged and gave Moon the bottle. He bring the bottle to his mouth and drank the liquid without swallowing. Moon put the bottle aside and brought his mouth to the mother's on physical contact to let her drink better. Zecora and the timber pup were surprised by this. Zecora just stared at the scene while the pup stated to blush a bit and feel kind of awkward that a different species seem to be kissing his mother. As Moon finished letting the mother drink better he turned his head and looked at the Zebra and the timber pup in confusion. "What?" "Uh... Moon, did you just kiss mother?" The timber pup said feeling a bit uncomfortable of Moon actions. "I am surprise at this beguiled, and so seems the child." Zecora said "Oh you mean what happen now? She couldn't swallow the liquid on her own so I mouth to mouth fed her to make it more easier for her to drink." Moon said unfazed by the bewilderment of the two. "Uh... alright." The timber pup said still a bit unconvinced. "Say Moon, do you think you can explain to us about your abilities?" The timber pup said. "Sure, just get comfortable and I'll explained about it." The three of them gather around in the room at a small table with a few cups, a pitcher of tea that Zecora has whipped up and with Moon about to explain. "Before I begin my explanation, I should tell you that my condition isn't what the humans always have and I only know about the powers I have now. First off, my strength seems to be at a certain point where I could lift over a 1000 lbs and make deep craters with my hands. I feel like I could lift and break anything on as long as I'm careful of my surroundings." The timber pup raised his paw, "Moon, if you're this strong, does this means that you manage to defeat mother?" "Yes, if I didn't have this strength, I would be your mother's dinner." Moon reply as he remembered the battle between them. She was quite strong and experience in killing her prey. He should be lucky for the newfound strength early on today. "The next one is my skin. I seem to have some sort of durability that prevents me from taking very bad injuries. In fact, during the confrontation between me and your mother, she manage to hurt me by gnawing at my right shoulder. It seems like she was strong enough to tear my arm off but, it wouldn't budge as she kept on gnawing on it." The timber pup and Zecora looked astonished. "And another thing is that the pain from the bite wasn't that bad as it felt only like a couple of bees stinging me. My endurance is rather amp up as well. "I noticed that from your torn clothing, but where of the wound that's been bothering?" Zecora said as she notice that the wound from the bite on Moon shoulder was gone. "That's another mystery, I can heal very fast. Look..." Moon took out his knife and cut his hand. Zecora was a bit surprise and became even more surprised as the cut that Moon made has healed in a matter of seconds. "...see that?" The timber pup was in awe. "Wow that is cool! Compare to the average timberwolves, it takes longer for them to heal." "Timberwolves? Is that your species called?" Moon said The timber pup nodded. 'Quite fitting' Moon thought and Zecora raised her hoof for a question. "Moon, I don't mean to protrude, but how can you understand the child?" "Hmm... that's what I was thinking for a while now. But it seems that I can understand other animals like some kind of Zoolingualism, meaning the ability to communicate with animals. The nature of this power isn't fully understand but maybe later on I'll figure that out." Moon explained "Okay then, is there anything else?" The timber pup said. "Yes, all five of my senses, such as "sight, smell, taste, touch, and hearing" have been boosted as well. During the fight between your mother and I. I was able to smell her very well, her breath was so revolting I could tell where she was. No offense to your mother of course." Moon quickly said after explaining. "None taken", the timber pup said. "For sight, I was able to see the entrance of the Everfree forest from at least 35 ft of a distance when I awoke. For the taste, when I fed your mother the healing elixir through my mouth I was able to taste different types of meat and even her spit." The timber pup is still perplexed by the scene where Moon kissed his mother and still feel quite uncomfortable. Moon noticed the expression of the pup, but deal with that later. "For the rest you should know how it goes." Moon said and noticed it was now dark and raining as he turned his sights at the window. "Anyway, I think that's enough about that for now. Zecora do you have anything we could eat?" Moon asked Zecora was sipping some tea. "Of course, we would be feeling quite famished after the ensource." Zecora said as she got up and head to the boiling pot. She put three bowls on the floor and grabbed a ladle with her teeth and pour some sort of a soup in it. She then handed each of the bowls to her two guest. The timber pup smell the soup and quickly dig in. Zecora grabbed a spoon with her hoof and started to drink the soup as well. Moon simply stared at how Zecora was able to hold something with no fingers, but ignore that and took his messenger off and unzip it. He took out a bag of consommé flavored chips and opened it. He grabbed a handful of chips, crushed them in his hands and sprinkle them in the soup. Moon then took his spoon and started to eat the soup. As Moon tasted the consommé bit soup, it was heavenly, the flavor of the soup and the chips clashed with each other greatly. Quickly, Moon put the spoon down and drank the entire bowl. With a satisfy sigh, he noticed that Zecora and the timber pup was looking at him in curiosity. The timber pup was the first to speak. "Moon? What did you put your soup that make it seems that it taste so good?" "Hmm, oh I just sprinkle a handful of consommé flavored chips in this soup. Man, you got to try this!" Moon exclaimed as he brought the bag of chips onto the table. He gesture the two to bring their bowls to him. Zecora and the timber pup obliged and Moon sprinkle the chip bits into the two soup bowls. He handed the bowls back and Zecora and the pup took a small sip. Their eyes quickly became widen and the two quickly drank up. As the two finished their meals, Zecora and the timber pup sigh deeply by the great taste of the soup. "Oh my deblah, Moon this delectable meal is quite the thrill." Zecora said with praise "Yeah Moon! What are those crunchy things?" The timber pup said "They're consommé flavored chips, try some." Moon offered The three then ate the entire bag of consommé chips, savoring the flavor and Moon then brought out the box of pizza. He opened the box and it revealed to be pepperoni on one side and mushrooms on the other. "This here is pizza, back in my world, the word originated from 997 AD in Gaeta. Then this food was made as it with bread, cheese, and many toppings of your choice." Moon explained "Pepperoni? Is that meat? Does that mean you eat meat Moon?" The timber pup asked "Well yes, humans are omnivores. Omnivores are creatures that eat both meat and plants. Although, we don't really need meat to survive as long as we get protein from other foods." Moon explained "Does that mean you could eat.... timberwolves?" The timber pup said with a bit of uneasiness and fear. "No, well wolves that are made of meat we can, but not ones made of twigs." Moon said to assure the pup that he won't eat him and his mother. "Oh, alright," the pup said as he breathed a bit easier. "I for one, knew that you eat meat, but would also eat beet." Zecora respond "Well, since that's cleared up let's eat." Moon said as he and the timber pup ate the pepperoni side with delight and Zecora only eating the mushrooms side with the same feeling. As everyone finished, Moon closed the box, put it and the empty open bag of consommé flavored chips in his bag. He began to feel somewhat tired. "(Yawn) It seems that I'm feeling quite tired, let's turn in for the night." Moon said "Aww... but I wanted to know more about where you're from...(yawn)" The timber pup said tiredly and quickly slept. "I'm feeling quite worn as well, it's time to we fell." Zecora said as she gently picked up the sleeping pup and placed him next to the mother's body. "Zecora, will the mother be healed by tomorrow?" Moon asked "Of course" Zecora said "That's good, and thank you for your help." Moon said with appreciation. "There's no need to thank me Moon, For if I don't, the regret and guilt, I will not be immune." Zecora claimed "No really..." Moon said as he gently took one of Zecora's hoof into his hand. "...if you hadn't we wouldn't be in a better predicament." Moon finished with a soft tone while staring back at Zecora's sky blue eyes with his gentle crimson red ones. "Um...." Zecora was a bit lost of words She started to blush a bit. The way Moon is holding her hoof and staring into her eyes seemed quite intimate to her at the moment. Despite the way Moon was acting, he couldn't helped but thought Zecora was somewhat attractive. She was a zebra and he was a human. Somehow, he didn't care about that. Moon then slowly leaned his face to Zecora's left muzzle and gave it a peck. Zecora gasp a bit and her muzzle started to glow even more redder. Moon let go of her hoof and turned to the corner. "Good night", Moon said gently and unfazed about the moment. Zecora was still a bit stun by the kiss to her muzzle, but quickly said good night and blow out the candle. The rain was pouring down as Moon review the entire day through his mind that somehow feels like processing through a super computer. 'Now what is today's findings? Waking up in a strange new land, discover about superhuman attributes, meet a talking zebra and wolves that are made of twigs. Although it would make any normal person go nuts, I'm handling this quite well. Another strange phenomenon that I must look into. For tomorrow, I must ask Zecora about the basic knowledge of this land and the markings on her rump.' As Moon thought of Zecora's rump, he immediately felt fluster and wonder about his actions to the zebra not long ago. 'Did I really just... kiss a zebra? Why did I felt that.... certain attractiveness about her all of a sudden, it was suppose to be a appreciation. But, it felt somewhat more passionate than that. Oh well, I think things will be cleared up by tomorrow.' Moon thought as he felt the drowsiness and fell asleep. //-------------------------------------------------------// Discoveries (Part 1) //-------------------------------------------------------// Discoveries (Part 1) Hello there and welcome back. Now you may be wondering what events have taken place with Twilight and the others while Light was in the Everfree forest. Please bear with me that I'm going to divide this into three parts, this chapter and the next two will be focusing entirely on the Mane 6.                                                                                                                                                                                          (Earlier that day) The ponyville train station used to be filled with many ponies that were traveling to many cities such as Canterlot, Hoofington, Fillydelphia, Trottingham, Las Pegasus and so on, or ones from other cities to Ponyville. But today, the only ponies at the train station is the main six waiting for the train to Canterlot. They have all gather around discussing about why the princesses needed to them for inorder to pass the time. "So Twilight, what to you reckon that the princesses want?" Applejack asked Twilight thought about the question a bit and reply. "I don't know Applejack. But if it's something important than we must get to Canterlot immediately if we'll going to find out." "I have to agree with Twilight. Something surely is up and we might be the only ones to fix this." Said Rarity "If that's the case, count me in! What problem can't be solved without the fastest flyer in all of Equestria!" Rainbow Dash boasted. "Whatever the problem is, bad things can be turned around with a PARTY!" Pinkie Pie said excitedly with a bounce. "Um... alright, I guess we must do this... so nopony will get hurt." Fluttershy said quietly. Applejack gave Twilight a nod showing that she's in. Twilight looked at her 5 friends and gave a firm nod that no matter what they're conquer it with the power of friendship. "Thank you, I couldn't asked for better friends" Twilight said genuinely. Shortly after their conversation, the ponyville express train has arrived to take the main six to Canterlot. As they went in and sit down, the announcer spoke through the speaker. "Hello there! This is a call to all the passengers that are currently riding the pony express. We will be taking a slight detour through a new souvenir shop just 30 minutes ahead due to some minor repairs on the main track. Please be patient and soon we'll arrived to our destination." With that said the train started moving. Twilight looked around and noticed that there's nopony else other than her friends in the cart. Curiosity got the better of her and proceeded through the other carts and noticed that none of them had any passengers as well. Twilight checked every cart to the end and found no pony at all. 'What seems to be going on? The train carts seem to be devoided of anypony and I'm starting to have a bad feeling about this.' She went back to the cart where her friends are and sat down to think. Applejack noticed Twilight's expression and went towards her. "Hey Twi, are y'all awright?" Applejack asked "Something isn't right here Applejack." Twilight said in a concern tone. "I noticed that there aren't anypony here but us. The other carts are devoided of passengers and I'm starting to get this weird feeling that might be bad." Applejack looked around and noticed that there is nopony except themselves that is in the cart. "Maybe Twi, but let's wait till we get to the shop and try to sort things out." "Alright" Twilight reply As the train kept going, Twilight looked out the window and saw the shop coming into sight. But, something was quite off about it. The more distance closed in, the more that the shop looks somewhat old than new. The train stop and the speaker was heard again. "Hello again passengers, we have just arrived to the new souvenir shop. Please feel free to go and purchase some items that pique your interests, but hurry up now. We will be leaving to our final destination in 30 minutes." The girls walked out of the train and stand before them the souvenir shop that the announcer described. The shop was rather the opposite than the announcer said about it being brand new. The paint was chipping off, the windows were broken, and the whole place looks like it was falling apart. Twilight headed back to the train but the doors automatically shut closed. She then looked to her friends who were all had slightly concern faces and walked to them. "Girls, it's seems like something about this isn't right at all." Twilight spoke "Of course we can all see that Twilight. But whatever is going on, it must be in there!" Rainbow Dash said as she pointed at the run down building. "Oh... my... I don't like this girls, not one bit" Fluttershy said as she quiver. "I for one seems to sense that there's something not right, but I don't think I want to go near that old building. There could dust and cobwebs and even WORSE!" Rarity exclaimed Applejack rolled her eyes at this and said, "Now come on girls! Things may seem bad at the moment, but together we can overcome this problem like two raccoons trying to steal food." Pinkie Pie jumped up and down with excitement. "Applejack's right! We just need to think this whole situation around like a game and I love games! Especially that one time during my-" before Pinkie Pie could tell, her mouth was covered quickly by a purple hoof. "Now Pinkie, we've been over that problem already and please don't mention it again." Twilight said as she remove her hoof from Pinkie's mouth. "Okie Dokie!" Pinkie said and resume to her usual behavior. "Come on girls, we're going in." Twilight said as she started heading to the abandon shop. Applejack, Rainbow Dash, and Pinkie Pie followed her. Rarity was still a bit reluctant, but went with them. Fluttershy was still on the ground, laying on her stomach shivering and with her hooves covering her eyes. Rainbow Dash immediately went back moved Fluttershy towards the abandon shop. As the main six entered the shop, a wave of cold air flew pass them and the area of the inside was quite dark with partially any light beaming through the broken windows. Twilight and Rarity use their horns to illuminate the darkness. The store was empty, the many selves that were around the store are filled with cobwebs and dust bunnies which Rarity immediately noticed and felt disgust. Fluttershy is still shaking, but seemingly followed her friends. Applejack look weary in her surroundings, but Pinkie Pie kept bouncing around with a small hum. They kept looking around till suddenly, the door quickly closed and the whole room is shrouded in an area of darkness with only the magic of Twilight and Rarity's horn giving light. Fluttershy let out a small meep and cover herself on the ground with fear. Rainbow Dash went for the door, but it was locked shut. Applejack try and kick the door open with all her strength, but it still wouldn't budge. Soon, purple mist is surrounding the area where the light main six were just at the edge of the light and horrifying laugh was heard. "Mwa ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!!! Looks like you ponies are in quite a predicament right now" said the voice. "Who are you!? What do you want from us!?" Twilight demand as she and her friends got together in a ready stance. "Oh I don't mean to be a bother. I just want to test your abilities." The voice said as a small jolt of thunder hit Rainbow Dash, shocking her a bit. "Ow, is this some sort of a game you're playing!? It's not fun! So why don't come out so we can see you coward!" Rainbow Dash challenged. "Is that a challenged?" The voice said in a flat tone as the mist started swirling quite a bit rapidly. "Yeah that's right! You maybe just scared that we are going to beat you in ten seconds flat! So come out and fight the most fastest flyer in Equestria!" Rainbow Dash said to get whoever to come out so she can buck into submission. "Um... R-R-Rainbow... I think you might m-m-m-make... him mad if you keep doing th-th-th-that." Fluttershy said still a bit scared. "Oh please my dear, it seems that the Rainbow Crash here might need a lesson about manners." The voice said By mentioning that nickname about Rainbow Dash has set her over her edge. "ALRIGHT, THAT DOES IT!!! WHERE ARE YOU!!!" Rainbow Dash shouted as she flew around trying to find the pony so she can give Tartarus to. "Here" Rainbow Dash turned around, only to have something grabbed her neck, making it hard for her to breath. The one who grabbed Rainbow appear right before the main six could comprehend. The creature was a tall figure. It appears to be bipedal and it's entire body is covered with a dark robe. The hood obscure it's face and it's levitating in the air. It kept holding Rainbow Dash by the neck and started to choke her by tightening it's grip. "You know... take away all that anger and all that arrogance, you would seem pretty adorable." It whisper as it then threw rainbow Dash at the wall knocking her out cold. Twilight and the others rushed to Rainbow Dash's side with feeling of worriedness and notice that she's unconscious. Twilight turned back to the creature with an anger expression. How dare of him to harm one of her friends and she proceeded by blasting it with her horn. The creature smirk underneath it's hood and held out it's arm and a page instantly appeared and shot at Twilight. The page and the blast from Twilight's horn collided and the page merely sliced through the laser and quickly wrapped around Twilight's horn. "What the-" Twilight said before her entire body was engulf with electricity. "AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH" Twilight screamed in pain as she was being shock from the page wrapped around her horn. "TWILIGHT!!!" Her friends shouted as they saw her getting shocked. "HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" (End of part one) //-------------------------------------------------------// Dicoveries (Part 2) //-------------------------------------------------------// Dicoveries (Part 2) I'm back! And here to give you guys and girls part 2 of the this chapter and now where were we? Oh yeah! It went on something like this...                                                                                                                                                                                          "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Twilight screamed as she was being painfully shocked by the page wrapped around her horn. "TWILIGHT!!!" Her friends shouted as they watch her getting shocked pretty badly. "HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA!!!!! "Shocking" isn't it? HA HA HA HA!!!!" The creature said as it kept on laughing. Soon shock stopped and Twilight felt to the ground unconscious. The page wrapped around her horn came off and flew right back to the figure. It caught it with it's hand as it flew to him and made it disappear. Twilight's friends were shock at this cruel action done to their friend and the earlier ne to Rainbow Dash. Shock and worry was then replaced by anger as the figure kept on laughing at his deed. "How unfortunate, it looks like the protégé of Celestia wasn't as entertaining as I thought she would be. Oh well, I guess I still have you four to deal with." Said the figure "Now look here yer varmin! Nopony here is going to harm mah friends and gets away with it!" Applejack proclaimed as she grabbed her rope out and tried to lasso the figure. The lasso flew into the air and landed on the figure as he stood still. Applejack tug on the end of the rope and the lasso tighten around the figure's midsection, immobilizing its' arms as well, pulling it to the ground. Applejack smirk at her achievement. "Hah, how do you like them apples!" She taunt Underneath the hood, the figure sneered as it quickly spun around in a rapid pace pulling Applejack to it. It stopped as the two of them came face to face and Applejack knows that it just smiled at the moment and it spun around her, tying her own rope around her entire body in a flash. As it finished, Applejack's entire body was tied up and the figure instantly karate chop the back of her neck and she fell to the ground unconscious. "Now... who else want some?" The figure turned to the remaining 3 ponies. "This is gone far enough you ruffian! You will not be hurting any of my friends any longer!" Rarity shouted Already have seen these actions to done by this figure to 3 of her friends. Rarity's horn glow and let a loose a straight magical blast at the figure. It merely knew that rest were already angry that it was harming their friends and that they'll just become reckless in anger and easily dodged the blast. Rarity kept shooting and the figure just walk towards her slowly, dodging each blast one by one. Rarity then noticed that her regular blasts isn't getting through and started shooting in a more rapid pace and make it into a barrage of it. The figure smiled at this changed and quickly moved through the barrage of magical blast in an instant speed and into Rarity's face. "I wasn't even trying." The figure said as its right hand instantly engulf into a dark aura and thrust it in Rarity's chest. The force of it send her flying back and knocking Pinkie Pie out of the process by crashing into her. Quick to recover, Rarity horn glowed and teleported to the ground while she was flying and then turned and saw Pinkie out cold. Anger and more anger filled her mind as then let out a angry shriek and charged at the figure. The figure just stand still until when Rarity jump into the air to deliver a roundhouse kick to its head, only to be block by its left arm. It grabbed her left hind leg and merely threw her off. Rarity landed on all fours and charged again and this time, power up her horn as she is going blast it, only for it to dodge and attack it by surprise. As Rarity got within 2 meters of the figure, she fired a shot, the figure dodged it and just as Rarity expected, she reared her right hoof back and brought it to the figure's head. Unfortunately, as Rarity expected to hit the figure. Her hoof ran right through it as if it was never there. She was certainly shocked by this, but didn't saw that the figure grabbed her by the neck, spun her around and threw her at Pinkie Pie who was starting to regained consciousness. The two mares rowed violently and came to a stop, both are now out cold. Fluttershy, who's friends are all now hurt and out cold are done by this creature. All in her life, she was scared of many things and now all fear is now replaced by anger by this injustice done to her very close friends. She quickly head toward the figure and use her ability of stare on it to make it stop. The figure turned its sight to Fluttershy and the two are now face-to-face as Fluttershy's eyes were narrowing its gaze into the eyes of the figure. The figure never seemed to flinched and what Futtershy was about to see next is about to happened. Fluttershy stare into the figure's mind and saw a very gruesome sight. Hundreds of dead bodies of creatures that she had never seen were laid across around her. They had agonizing expressions along with primate like features with blood splatter on what it looks like clothing on their bodies. Fluttershy gasped and her expression soon became one filled with horror as she kept looking on this sight. She then heard a laugh, a very maniacal laugh that belongs to a lone figure standing on top on a hill of bodies. It had masculine features, classifying it as a male. He wore a white button shirt, black pants with matching shoes. His entire eyes were glowing blue and as he stopped laughing and turned to Fluttershy, his irises were bright red matching his hair color. He smiled evilly and in a blur, disappear from the spot of which he stood on and instantly appearing before Fluttershy's eyes. "It seems you discover my mind. He he he... looks like I still have time to deliver the final touch." The figure said as he raised his hand and an orb of dark energy with a golden glow form on the palm of his hand while retaining the evil smile on his face as he look down at the yellow Pegasus who was filled with such horror. "Ciao" The figure said as he hurled the orb of energy at Fluttershy. To Be Continued... //-------------------------------------------------------// Discoveries (Final Part) //-------------------------------------------------------// Discoveries (Final Part) "Ciao" The figure said as he hurled the orb of energy at Fluttershy. Fluttershy couldn't move as she was frozen with fear as the orb of energy is about to hit her. The orb collided to her and exploded. A blinding light happen and the shockwave of the blast was so strong it blew a few of the bodies away. The entire area was filled with smoke, once it was cleared, it revealed a very damage Fluttershy with burnts and cuts all over her body on the ground unconscious. The figure walked up to Fluttershy's injured body, kneeled down and whisper in her ear. "That was only a very weak blast I used. The next time, it won't be so weak." The figure said as the entire death filled land vanished into a dark void and back into reality with the figure staring at Fluttershy's unconscious body. The figure then looked at all 6 mares unconscious on the floor around him. They sure put up a decent fight, but not enough to meet his standards. The figure floated up in the air and levitate all 6 mares together and raised his right hand. His hand engulf into a green light and projected a light green energy onto the unconscious main 6. Their bruises, cuts, and any other injuries are healed in an instant. One of them started to stir awake and the one is Rainbow Dash. She slowly opened her eyes and then looked around. Her eyes widen as she saw her friends knocked out on her left. She then turned her gaze and slowly, the figure was in her line of sight. It all started to come back to her, it knocked her out and must've promptly took down her friends. Rainbow's eyes then narrowed, her teeth clenched, and her mind is instantly filled with anger. Wasting no time, she flew at the figure with great speed in order to hurt him. The figure sigh and stayed in mid air as Rainbow Dash is about to throw a powerful kick to his head. As her hoof is about to make a hit, it went right through the figures head and pass him. Rainbow Dash was surprised, but she didn't have enough time to slowed down her speed as she hit the wall with her hoof. A crunching sound was made and Rainbow Dash let a loud painful yelp and fall to the ground. She held her injured right hind leg as she fought back the pain to scream. It hurt like hell and soon tears were forming into her eyes. 'Ahhhhhhhhhhhh! BUCK! That stings like tartarus! Great, this is not going to be pretty.' The figure then floated over to Rainbow Dash and land on the ground. His shadow loomed over Rainbow's eyes and she slowly opened them and saw him standing near her head. He raised his arms to his hood and slowly pulled it down, revealing his face. Rainbow Dash's eyes widen as he stared at her Moderate cerise eyes with his bright crimson ones with a very creepy crooked smile. "Oh wa wa wa! What's wrong? Couldn't beat me and your crying? I guess you aren't the toughest bitch around here at all. Too bad, looks like you can't do anything at all Rainbow... Crash. He said as he turned around while looking back at Rainbow Dash on the floor with a sneer. Anger and hatred filled Rainbow Dash's mind as the figure before her sneer. It harmed her friends and have the gall to make fun of her and called her a cryfoal. She didn't think and blindly jumped at the figure with a yell and throwing her right front hoof at its face. 'Too easy' The figure counter her hoof by raising his left hand and grabbing Rainbow Dash's entire front leg. He then raised his free hand brought it down in the middle of her front leg, fracturing it. Rainbow Dash screamed in agonizing pain, her bone is sticking out of her flesh and blood pour out immediately on the ground. With a sadistic grin, the figure grabbed Rainbow Dash's right wing and bend it so hard and fast that it dislocated with a sickening crack. Rainbow felt even more excruciating pain and yelled out louder and fell to the ground. Yet satisfy with his work, the figure carried on and stomp on Rainbow Dash's right hind leg with his foot, fracturing it as well as her other hind leg in an instant. Rainbow Dash kept screaming in agony as three of her limbs are fractured along with a dislocated wing as she laid on the floor. Blood poured freely from her limbs and the pain is so excruciating that Rainbow promptly swore while dealing with it. "BUUUUUUUUUUCCCCCCCCKKKKKKKKKKKKKK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! BUCK YOU! BUCK YOU! BUCK YOU! AAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Rainbow Dash swore at the figure while being in agonizing pain. "hehehehe, my... what colorful language. Haven't your parents ever taught you not to swear such profanity Rainbow Crash" "What! You son of bitch! You're dead! You hear me! DEAD!" Rainbow Dash yelled as she groan from the pain. "Ooooohhh, I'm so scared!".The figure said in a fake manner. "So scared that I'm going to let that happened. I really have too much pride to get killed by some flying horse and I thought you ponies are passive." Rainbow Dash glared at the figure with hatred and anger. If she isn't injured at the moment, she would've buck this monster into Tartarus. The figure just stared at Rainbow Dash, not caring of the glare and spoke in a grave voice. "You know Rainbow, I could just kill you and your friends right here, right now." The figure said with a smile and stepped on the fractured wound on Rainbow's right hind leg, grinding it, making her yelp in pain. "But, I'm going to spare you and your friends for now. Like I said earlier, I only want to test your strength and abilities and frankly... I'm not impress, no not one bit." The figure then brought his foot above Rainbow Dash's head and slam down hard enough to knock her unconscious. The door then open, letting sunlight shine in. The figure levitate all the mares and brought them outside. The train was still there as he expected. He open the train door and levitate the unconscious mares into the cart and gently place each of them on an individual seat and when he place Rainbow Dash's damaged body, he summon tons of gauze, lodged the protruding bones back into its place and bend the broken wing back into place, place some wooden folds on each limb, and wrapped it firmly with the gauze. He then walked out of the cart and closed the door. The train started and move on. The figure watched as the train disappear in sight and turned over to the empty field that was once had an abandon shop occupying the space. He smiled as wind blew violently and he disappear without a trace. 'Soon... soon we will meet again and this time, it's war.' (Canterlot) Princess Celestia pace back and forth in her throne room. It's been over two hours since she sent the letter to her faithful student. Whenever she heard about something every important, Twilight would arrived to her in no less than an hour. What in the Equestria is taking her this long? Princess Celestia was starting to get worried and her train of thought was interrupted when a guard barged in. He quickly bowed and brought a grave message to the princess. "Your highness, forgive my intrusion, but I bring upon grave news." "What is it lieutenant?" Princess Celestia asked in a worried tone. The guard took off his helmet and had a bit of a worried expression. "The elements of harmony has arrived, but in a train that had nopony operating it. They seemed to be unconscious, but still breathing. Unfortunately, the element of loyalty is in a very bad state." "How bad?" "The doctor reported that three of her limbs, right front hoof and her two hind legs are somehow fracture. We have no knowledge on how she got that way, but something or somepony must've attacked them on the way here." This news shocked Princess Celestia. Her student and her friends were attacked on their way here? It would mostly explained why they were running late, but she must be sure of this. "Thank you lieutenaut, now if you please, where is my faithful student and her friends located." "The elements are currently resting in room 300 in the North infirmary wing your highness." The Princess nodded and her horn glowed and she disappeared from the throne room. (North Infirmary, Room 300) It was dark, the entire field empty with no life. Twilight look around and saw nothing. She tried to call out, but no answer. She look around some more and notice a small shine. Twilight got up on her hooves and ran towards the light. It became brighter and brighter as she got closer. It then disappear, making it dark again. Twilight made a complete stop and instantly felt something grabbed around her neck. It pull her into the air and started to choke the life out of her. She could hardly breathe and held something said as she faded into unconscious. "One day, we will meet again. And soon, you'll be dead before you could even fight back" Twilight then woke up in a shock. She pant and noticed that she's in a hospital bed. Twilight looked around and saw all her friends, they were unconscious, but seem fine. The only one she didn't see was Rainbow Dash, and there was a bed with curtains concealing whoever was in it. A bright flash filled the room. Once it stopped, princess Celestia was present. "Princess Celestia, what happened?" Twilight said as she is oblivious in the situation. "Everything is all right my student. I'm just glad all of you are safe." Princess Celestia said as she walk to Twilight and wrapped her wing around her, pulling Twilight in a hug. Twilight returned the embraced and soon broke apart to looked at her mentor. "What's going on? Why are me and my friends here?" She asked "Unfortunately, the guard said that you and your friends were found in a train with nopony piloting it. All of you were unconscious and Rainbow Dash was... in a very bad shape." Princess said "How bad is she?" Twilight asked "It seems you should see for yourself young Sparkle." Princess Celestia said as she help Twilight out of her bed and towards the curtain one at the end of the room. Celestia's horn glowed and the curtains were engulf in the same color. The curtains moved and revealed a very damaged Rainbow Dash. Both the princess and Twilight was shocked, Rainbow Dash's hind legs were wrapped heavily in gauze along with her right front hoof. "Princess... what happened to her?" Twilight said in a worried tone. "One of the guards report to me that Rainbow Dash was found with three fractured limbs. What so perplexing about this is that she is already wearing casts when the they found you girls unconscious in a train driven on its own." Princess Celestia explained. With that said and heard, Twilight started to remembered something. Something that happened earlier on their trip to Canterlot. It was him! That hooded creature that she doesn't seem to be familiar with had attack Rainbow Dash and shocked her into unconsciousness. He must've put Rainbow in this bad state and manage to defeat her with no effort. It would explained the summoning of a paper that slice through her beam easily and produce a massive electrical surged that even professional skilled unicorns today couldn't perform a feat like that except Starswirl the bearded or maybe the Princesses. She must tell this to Celestia. "Princess Celestia, I just remembered something very, very important to tell you." Twilight said gravely "What is it my student?" Celestia asked Twilight took a deep breath and began her tale. "While we were coming to Canterlot, the train that my and friends and I were travelling in, stopped at some abandon looking shop that was on a detour because of minor repairs on the main railway. We looked inside and the door closed behind us, making it very dark to see. Soon purple mist have swarmed the area that Rarity and I were illuminating and came.... him" Twilight shutter at the last word. "Who?" Princess Celestia said curiously "I don't know, he was something I never seen before or studied. I assume he was male due to his voice, which means he speaks Equestrian and seems to be intelligent since he wore clothing that consists of a cloak. He also appeared to be bipedal like a minotaur with this limb that look like a claw on both arms with five stick-like appendages." Twilight explained "Interesting, I never seen or heard a creature like that for as long as I lived. Perhaps he must be some sort of an extraterrestrial that is visiting us? This could be quite a discovery Twilight. Did you happened to see what he looked like?" "No, his hood was obscuring his face and I don't think he has good intentions Princess. He said that he was only testing our abilities and must've manage to defeat all of us with little effort. Just look what he did to Rainbow Dash, he must've have a certain degree of strength in order to cause this much damage to her. He even took defeated me by just summoning out a piece of paper that slice through my magic and shock me through my horn. Not even the most advanced magic and skilled unicorns today could even do that with ease unless if it's Starswirl the Bearded or maybe you and Princess Luna. We must do something about this Princess Celestia." Twilight said Princess Celestia thought for a bit of what Twilight revealed. A creature that could defeat the elements of harmony with little effort? The only beings that did manage to defeat her student and her friends for a short while were Discord and possibly Nightmare Moon. Could... could this creature be connected to what she and Luna felt in the dimensions? Regardless, she must discuss with her student and her friends, and Luna about this after the rest of Twilight's friends wake up. "You are correct my student, something must be done about this situation we are dealing with. I will have the guards be on the look out for this creature you described. Until then, rest up Twilight. As soon as the others awake we must discuss why I require your presence." Princess Celestia said "Yes Princess, but could I at least see my family? It's been a while since I last saw them since I moved to Ponyville." Twilight requested "Of course my dear student, I'll sent a letter to notify them." Princess Celestia said as she led Twilight back to the bed. She then proceed to leave the room until Twilight spoke. "Oh and Princess Celestia?" "Yes, Twilight?" "Be careful" she said in a worried tone. "I will... and so should you, my student." Celestia reply As Princess Celestia walked out the door, she closed it gently and gave a small whisper to herself. "I glad you safe and alive Twilight, cause I think of you more than just a student. I never felt such closeness since Luna was banished." With that said, Princess Celestia proceeded down the hall and prepare to write a letter to notify Twilight's family. (End of Final Part) //-------------------------------------------------------// Motherwolf //-------------------------------------------------------// Motherwolf (The next morning, Moon's perspective) As the sun rose, the rain stopped pouring. The many inhabitants of the Everfree came out of their homes and started to scavenge for food. The sun shine through the window of Zecora's hut and onto Moon's sleeping eyes. His eyes moved and slowly opened as he raised his hand to cover it a bit from the bright light. He then slowly got up and stretched. "Man, what a night." Moon yawned and took off his coat. "Time for some morning exercises." He said getting on the ground and started doing push-ups. Although this seems to be an odd matter, but Moon somewhat remember of a routine when waking up in the morning. After 50 push-ups, he then did some aerobic stretches and also 50 sit-ups. He sweated as he did the sit-ups and grunt and pant when he did 30. As Moon continued, Zecora awaken from her slumber. She yawn and lazily opened her eyes. She looked around a bit and noticed Moon in the corner of her home doing some sort of an odd activity. Zecora turned her gaze to the sleeping timber pup on her bed. He was still sound asleep so Zecora decided not to wake him up. Lastly, she then turned her gazed to the injured timberwolf. She still seem to breathe normally. Her injuries are slowly healing and her body is starting to stir a bit with a light moan. Zecora was relief about this that the mother is recovering and due to Moon's enhanced hearing, he was able to hear to her breathing as well. Moon finished his exercise routine and walked to Zecora. "Will she be waking up anytime soon?" Moon asked. "Yes and not long till dawn." Zecora reply "That's good", said Moon The room was filled with silence for the next 5 minutes until Moon spoke. "So..." Moon trailed "So..." Zecora began "Do you want to... talk about last night?" Moon said Zecora looked away for a bit, trying to come up with an answer. Her face was showing a small blush while she was pondering about Moon's actions last night. 'What is this feeling that I do not know? Why is this coming from some being who seems to be bestowed?' Moon waited for Zecora's response and wander about what to say to her as way. 'Why did I kiss her last night? I was just thinking it as a compliment and suddenly its now turned serious. What to do...' Zecora then turned around with her cheeks blushed. "Moon... I'm sorry to protrude, but I don't want to further include." Zecora said gently. "It's fine if you're not ready. I can wait." Moon reply Just then, the timberpup awoke from his slumber. He yawned, got up and stretched. "Good morning, what's going on?" The timberpup said as he yawned again "Good news, you're mother is getting better. Zecora said it won't be long till she's away." Moon said to the timberpup. "Really!?" The timberpup respond and went to his mother's unconscious body. "Yes, yes! Mother is going to be better!" He said as he nuzzle his mother's face. Moon and Zecora smiled warmly at this moment. The child is finally going to be with his mother again. The body started to stir and the timberwolf let out a moan. The timberpup noticed this and he was excited. "Mother! Mother! Please be awake, please!" The timberpup cried out. The body then started to shook more violently and her moans soon started to turn into a growl. "Mother..." The sentence of the timber pup was interrupted as the timberwolf's eyes popped open and she launched into the air and landed on the bed, breaking it and flinging all three of the others onto the floor. She got up and was quite terrify and confused. "What?! What's happening?! Where am I!?" The timberwolf mother yelled as she look around frantically. She saw Moon and gasp. "You!!!" The timberwolf mother yelled as she tried to lunged at Moon. 'Oh boy, not again.' Moon thought as he prepared for the mother's incoming assault. (Analysis Mode) 'Here we go again. Alright let's see what we got here. Awaken, confused, and full of anger. Subject obviously remembered our previous encounter and now about to lunged at me. A good way to counter this is the same thing with the momentum and use it against her. Objective is to neutralize and not kill like last time, so the nanosecond she's down, pin her on the floor.' (Analysis Mode Off) As the timberwolf lunged at Moon, he did exactly what he did during their first encounter. Moon leaned backward as the timberwolf mother was about to pounce him and threw her off before she landed on him. The mother crashed onto a table, but before she could get up, Moon quickly jumped and pinned her down as she tries to break out of the position. "Let me up! Let me up so I can kill you!!!" The timberwolf screamed in rage. "Please calm down. I'm truly sorry for the state you are in, but please don't do anything stupid." Moon said calmly as he kept her pin down. "Sorry!? I'll show you sorry by sinking my teeth in you, whatever you are!" The timberwolf screamed. "Think of your child, don't you have to take care of him and protect him from the dangerous creatures?" Moon reasoned. "What!? How do you know about my child!? I swear on my entire life, if you did anything to my precious child, I'll kill you! I'll break you! And I'll shatter you!" "Mother, please! I'm okay, just stop... please." The timberpup pleaded. The timberwolf mother stopped cold in her tracks as she heard her child's voice. She looked up a bit and saw her child with her good eye. "Achilles? Is that you?" The mother spoke softly. 'Achilles?' Moon thought. "Yes, it's me. Moon didn't do anything to me. In fact, he and a friend helped me save your life from the wounds you've received." The Achilles said as he gestured at Moon and Zecora. "Yes, he is right. I greatly apologize for your injuries and the fact that I almost... kill you. If by any chance, I would like to make it up for you and your child. If you let me." Moon said still pinning the mother down. The moment of silence filled the hut of Zecora for a while as the mother thought long and hard about her next course of action. 'I was almost killed? No wonder I woken up like this. What should I do? My son wouldn't lie and if this creature kill me, I wouldn't be here right now.' At that moment, she was shocked as she realized something. 'My child would be dead as well. Maybe if I... just go along with this for now and see where it goes, my child may be safe.' "Alright" The mother said. "Did you said... alright?" Achilles respond. "Yes my son, it has seemed that... if this creature..." "Moon" Achilles intercepted. "If Moon... had killed me. He might have just killed you too. So for now on, I decided that I will let Moon help us out for the time being." The mother said calmly. Achilles was happy of his mother's decision and gesture Moon to let her go. Moon slowly get off of the mother, knelt down and help her up a bit. Achilles then ran and hug his mother with her having to hug back. "Thank you mother, for giving my friend a chance." Achilles said as he nuzzled his mother. "I'm doing this for you Achilles. If what you said is true about your... friend, we will be fine and I'm quite tired of the constant surviving in the Everfree." The mother said. The two broke the hug and Moon spoke. "I'm glad we can work things out. I really want to apologize for the incident in any way I can." Moon said to the mother. The mother's expression then turned grim as she looked into Moon's eyes. "Just so we're clear, I don't trust you at all. And I don't give a crap if you die or whatever bad happens to you. If you try to do anything that will get my child hurt or killed, I will kill you in the worst possible way imaginable." She said darkly. The feeling that the mother is giving off with her words send chills down Moon's spine. But he kept his composure. In situations like this, keep a clear head and stay strong. "I do not mean any trouble, I was confuse when I first appear and now I would like a chance to redeem myself." Moon proclaimed. The mother looked into Moon's eyes with her one good eye and couldn't find any sense of trickery. But, she must remained alert if anything happens that will regret her decisions because of her faith in her son. Throughout her life she endured countless hardships and tragedies. Her family taken from her one by one and the endless monsters in the Everfree trying to kill her. Manticores, Cockatrices, Hydras, other timberwolves and many more that she lost track. In such a world, she was very heartbroken and scared. But over time it healed but in a crooked way. Her heart became harden, her mind became bitter, and she fight to survive in any way possible and I mean anything. That was until that faithful day when she found Achilles. A timberpup who was lost and had nowhere to go. Even with her bitter attitude, she did had a soft side. As she look at the small timberpup, she saw herself when she was young. She didn't want to let the timberpup go through the same life she had and took him in. Throughout time, the two became quite close, as a mother and son. She even gave him a name and then vowed to never let anything happened to her child and she would protect him in any way possible. As she thought of all those memories of her life, she decided to give Moon a chance to proved himself. But, only for her son, only for her Achilles. "Whatever, but don't you pull nothing you creature, I seen wise ones before. You won't get away with anything, got it?" "Of course", Moon said in a calm manner. Zecora continued to watched as Moon talked to the timberwolf family. She still ponder on what they were saying, but it is clear that the mother seemed calm enough not to attack anymore. Zecora decide to question Moon about his ability to understand the verbal communication of animals and Equestrialism in time. But for now, she needed to clean up the mess that was caused by the outburst. "Moon, if I may interrupt. Will you care to help me with this mess that was abrupt?" Zecora said Moon looked around his feet and took notice of the mess caused by the mother. "You're right Zecora, I'll help with this mess since I kinda partially caused this." Moon obeyed as he started to picked up the broken pieces. "I'll help too." Achilles said. Achilles, Moon, and Zecora spent almost 20 minutes cleaning the hut. The mother just went back and rest for a while to recover her injuries. She started to wonder how some creature was able to caused so much damage to a strong timberwolf like her. His built was similar to a minotaur, but much more thinner. His claw-like appendages also match as well. But his overall appearance is closely related to a monkey, since she dealt with some that were bullying her son a while back. The mother wonder if all species like Moon could have the same physical abilities as him. Maybe she'll asked that about him in the future, but for now, she must be weary of him. As Moon, Achilles, and Zecora finished they head back to the mother. Zecora needed to check on her again to see the current results and Achilles let his mother know its okay. While Zecora check the mother, Moon decided to talk to Achilles on an interesting matter. "So you're name is Achilles huh.?" Moon said to him. "Yes, why? Does it seemed familiar to you?" Achilles asked. "Well, Achilles was the name of a demigod in Greek mythology. He was known for his talents and skills in warfare and no living mortal can best him in combat." "Really? He was that strong?" "Yes, he can't even die to his immortality." "He couldn't die?" Moon nodded. "So nothing can kill him?" "Well, yes and no. It was true Achilles couldn't die, but you want to know why?" Achilles nodded eagerly. "Okay, Achilles was the son of Nereid Thetis and Peleus, the king of the Myrmidons. His mother tried to make him immortal by dipping his entire body in the river Styx as a baby. But it was interrupted by the father and his leg was the only part that wasn't immortal. During a battle while he was an adult, Achilles was shot in the mortal heel by a stray arrow and immediately died." Moon explained. Achilles was amazed. A being that couldn't die by any other means, but only if something happened to the leg? This is quite the surprise. "Don't be so amazed Achilles. Even the Strongest One There Is, can have a weakness and that will mean big trouble for him or her." Moon said "Whoa..." Achilles said as he was astonished. Moon rolled his eyes and Zecora have finished her check up on the mother. "Good news, her injuries in the face have already been healed. But her right eye seems have resealed." Zecora said to the two. "Hmm... it's obviously that her healing factor doesn't regenerate organs. Wait, Achilles do you have any eyeballs?" "Well, kinda. But I don't really know about this so much." Achilles shrug. A splash of guilt overcame Moon and he sigh deeply. "Great, I partially blinded someone and now I don't know what to do next." Moon said "There is one solution..." Zecora said. Hearing this, Moon quickly perked up. "Really?! What is it Zecora?" Moon questioned Zecora cleared her throat. "What lies in the Everfree is a rare exotic plant that is known to healed anything from cuts and bruises to limbs and organs. If you can get this plant, I can whipped up a brew that can heal her portion." "Well what are we waiting for? Let's go!" Achilles said anxiously as he headed to the door. "Alright, but before we go. Zecora, what does this plant looks like?" Moon asked. "It displays a slight green with yellow stripes. But you must pluck it before it swipes." Zecora warned. "Alright, I got it. Let's go Achilles." Moon says as he grabbed his messenger bag, knife and coat, and put it on. "Wait just a moment! I'll be coming as well. Like I said, I don't trust you at all. So I'm not letting my only son get himself in trouble if you make a mistake." The mother said as she walked up to the two. "Besides, losing a limb or an organ, or two won't stop me." She said with a smirk. Knowing that the mother will always be with her child and the fact that she's having bad blood with him. Moon has no other option but to let her come along despite her disability. "As you wish, lets go." But before they open the door. Voices was heard by both Moon and the mother outside. Moon went to the window and focus his hearing towards the pathway into the thick bushes. Voices were being overlapped, but he can tell there is more than one. "Crap, there's some beings that are coming this way and fast. We can't go out the front." Moon said. "We could try the back door." Achilles said. "There's a back door?" Moon said. "Yeah, while you and mother were talking. I saw something over by the selves and it was another entrance." Achilles explained. A knock was then heard at the door. "Zecora! Are you home! We have some serious business to talked about!" The voice said. "Time to go!" The mother said quietly as she and her son went through the back entrance. "Alright, oh and Zecora..." "Yes?" "Thank you for everything. It is very... generous and kind of you." Moon said softly with a soft smile. Zecora turned and blush a bit from Moon's comment. A smile then slowly formed o her muzzle until the knocking was harder and the voice was getting louder. "Zecora! Please respond!" Zecora broke out of her trance and Moon started heading for the back entrance. "Quickly Moon! You must go!" Zecora said quietly. "Did you just not speak in a rhyme?" Moon questioned as he stopped at the back door. "I guess so... but you must go!" Zecora replied. "There she is..." Moon said shaking his head and left the hut. As Moon left, Zecora opened the door. There it revealed Twilight Sparkle and four of her friends. "Why Twilight, what brings you to my home." Zecora said casually. "We need help, and you're the only one who seems to know about a plant that can healed Rainbow Dash's injuries!" Twilight said urgently. That request has now dropped an anchor on Zecora's mind. //-------------------------------------------------------// Menace //-------------------------------------------------------// Menace (The Next Morning, Celestia's perspective)                The rising sun shined brightly over Canterlot as Princess Celestia is over seeing the horizon on the castle balcony. All was quiet and peaceful until a sound of wings flapped in the air. she turned and found her sister Luna landing on the balcony next to her. "Sister... Is Twilight and her friends all right?" Luna said worrying. "They are alright Luna, a few bruises, but Rainbow Dash is in a much worsen shape." Celestia replied "How worse...?" "Three of her legs were fractured and her wing was dislocated; but what was perplexing is that she was bandaged up when the guards found them on a train that was strangely operating on it's own." Luna was shocked to hear about Rainbow's injuries, but was also skeptical about a train moving by itself. "Sister, are you feeling suspicious about what's going on?" Luna asked. "Yes Luna, I have a feeling in the back of my mind that this event is connected to the disturbance of the dimensions we felt the other day." Celestia answered. "I see, do you think this could be the cause of something or somepony we had yet encountered?" Luna said. "I know that this is caused by somepony. When Twilight and I were talking last night, she told me that a mysterious creature was responsible for the state she and her friends are in." Celestia replied as her expression started to look grim. Luna's expression then hardened when Celestia mention the one who caused this. "Who ever this menace is dear sister, we must find him!" Luna demanded. Celestia shook her head, "No Luna, we must not make rash decisions. The creature that my student described indicate that it's an extraterrestrial that we never seen before. It's assume to be male and was able to defeat my student and her friends with no apparent effort as he was "merely testing their abilities" The power that this creature holds could even be stronger than us Luna." Despite the fact that Luna wanted to find the creature and make him pay for his actions to her new friends, she must remain smart about this. Luna huff and said, "Alright sister, what do you think we should do about this?". Celestia's expression soften a bit, "I suggest that we tell Twilight and her friends about the main subject and to be aware about this creature." "Yes, big sister." Luna said as she flew down from the balcony. Celestia continues to looked at the rising sun as it almost fully rise in the sky as she thought of yesterday's events. 'We will find this menace and protect all of our little ponies.' She then left the balcony. (North Infirmary, Room 300) In the infirmary room, all of Twilight's have woken up and were horrify when they hear about Rainbow Dash's condition. The doctors say that she won't be able to fly for a week and that made Rainbow Dash depressed. Twilight's friends try to cheer Rainbow up and while they do that, she just got her expected guest coming in the room. Shining Armor, the captain of the royal guard and Twilight Sparkle's older brother came barging in to check on her condition. Twilight's friends exchange their welcomes to Shining Armor and then returns to cheer Rainbow Dash up. "Are you sure you're all right Twily?" Shining Armor asked worryingly. "Of course I'm fine BBBFF, just a little shaken but fine." Twilight replied Shining Armor has always loved and protect his little sister from everything. When word got to him that his sister was in the infirmary, Shining dropped everything and focus on getting to his little sister. "Twily, I just don't want to see you hurt. If something bad happened to you, I just couldn't forgive myself." "I know..." Just then, two other ponies came into the room. Nightlight and Twilight Velvet, the parents of Twilight Sparkle and Shining Armor have been notify by the princess that their daughter is in the infirmary, so they dropped everything and went to check on her. Twilight Velvet rushed over to Twilight while pushing Shining Armor aside. "Oh my dear Twilight, are you alright?!" Velvet said loudly while checking her only daughter. "Mom, mom calm down. I'm alright." Twilight assured "Oh my baby, I'm just so worry!" Velvet said as she quickly embraced her daughter in a tight hug. "Mom... too... tight!" Twilight tried to speak. "Dear, Twilight needs some air!" Night Light said. Twilight Velvet soon heard him and quickly let go. "Oh dear, I'm so sorry about that Twilight." Velvet said to her daughter while Twilight gasp for air. "It's fine mom, just give me a few more minutes." Said Twilight trying to catch her breath. As the family were together, the door opened which revealed princess Celestia. "I hope that I'm not interrupting something am I?" "Oh no your highness, we were expecting to get another visit anyway." said Night Light as he, Twilight Velvet, and Shining Armor bow. "If that's the case, then I would like to speak to your children alone on some private matters if it's alright." Princess Celestia said. "Alright, since this must be an important matter and from the princess, we must respect that. Let's head back to the house honey." Night Light said to his wife. "But..." Twilight Velvet didn't get the chance to finish her sentence as Night Light quickly teleported his wife and himself from the room. The three just stood for a little bit by the moment until Celestia broke the silence. "Well, that seems rather interesting, but we have more interesting matters to press to." She turned to Shining Armor. "Captain Armor, I need you to go gather your troops for debriefing in an hour." Celestia command. "Of course you're highness." Shining Armor bowed and head off to the barracks. "Twilight, I need to speak to you and your friends in the conference room immediately." "But how princess? Rainbow Dash can't move from her bed at the moment." "I know that Twilight, but I'm afraid Rainbow Dash might have to sit this one out." "I understand princess Celestia." Twilight said sadly as Celestia then walk out of the room and she went to informed her friends. (A while later) Five of the main six are dashing into the Everfree forest in order to seek the help of somepony they know. "What do you think we should do first in the forest Twilight?" Applejack asked. "I think we should go see Zecora and find out what we can girls... without Rainbow Dash." Twilight said to her friends. During the meeting with princess Celestia, the creature that they faced was very powerful and may have to use the Elements of harmony to defeat him. In order to do so is for Rainbow Dash to heal faster and there was mention of a plant that can heal almost any wound, and the only pony who knows most about exotic plants is Zecora. As they reached her hut Twilight knocked on the door. "Zecora! Are you home! We have some serious business to talked about!" Twilight said. A couple of seconds have passed and Zecora opened her door. "Why Twilight, what brings you to my home." Zecora said casually. "We need help, and you're the only one who seems to know about a plant that can healed Rainbow Dash's injuries!" Twilight said urgently. That request has now dropped an anchor on Zecora's mind. //-------------------------------------------------------// Yugioh Duel!!! #1 (Not a chapter) //-------------------------------------------------------// Yugioh Duel!!! #1 (Not a chapter) Moon vs. Kira Turn 1: Kira LP 8000 Hand 5 "Draw" Hand: Flamvell Guard, Cards of Consonance, Tempest, Dragon Ruler of Storms, Tidal, Dragon Ruler of Waterfalls, Sacred Sword of Seven Stars, and Treeborn Frog.

Moon wins //-------------------------------------------------------// Timberwolves and the Zebra //-------------------------------------------------------// Timberwolves and the Zebra Where we last left off, Light was in the Everfree forest about to fight a Timberwolf and Twilight and the others are going to visit Celestia for an important matter. Anyway I want to say thank you for supporting my story and I will try to make it more interesting later on. So without further a do, *"Let's dance"* ____________________________________________________________________________________ 'The wolf's advantage; Knowledge of hunting. My advantage; it's rage. Incoming assault, feral... but experienced. Once it tries to pounce and make contact, use its momentum, and throw it off. Then quickly make evasive action to the thick brushes and review next strategy.' The wolf made the first move as predicted, it charged and lunged onto Light again. Light quickly held the the stake to block the attack. On contact he leaned backwards and use the momentum from the wolf to throw it behind him again. The wolf rolled and landed on his back. Light quickly got up on his feet and ran in the thick woods while the wolf got back up and ran after him. Light kept running and dive into a thick bush so the wolf wouldn't spot him. The wolf ran in to find its prey, but lost sight of him. It growled and sniff for Light's scent search for him. Light stayed hidden in the bush on his stomach and slowly crawled through to the other bushes, making little sound as possible and to keep his distance from the wolf. As Light got to a much safer distance, he uses his sense of hearing to hear if the wolf's steps if it's nearby. So far, the wolf is about an estimate of 10 meters away growling and trying to find him. Light looked up and spotted some vines on a nearby tree. 'Alright, new strategy; set up trap' He reached up and quickly cut some of it and duck back into the bushes. Light slowly moved forward through the bushes and into a clearing in the forest. It was medium sized and the light shone through the opening of the trees. A tree was there at the edge of the clearing and Light took his stake by staking it to the ground and started to work on the vines. He tied one end of the individual vines and another at a time. After a few minutes, Light was finished with the completed rope and threw one end over a branch and tie the other one into a lasso. Light set the lasso on the ground and cut a handful of leaves from the bushes to cover it. At last, the trap was completed. All was left to do is to get the wolf here. Light made tons of noises, hoping to attract the wolf to him. Pretty much it did, the wooden wolf slowly peer its head at the opposite edge of the clearing through the bushes. It growled lightly and appear in the clearing where its whole body is soon showing. Light held the other end that was hanging from the branch and decided to speak up. "Well, you got me." Made a hand gesture. "Come on!" Light yelled The wolf growled and roar. It charged towards Light, finally about to tear its prey apart. For Light however, he watched carefully as the wooden wolf ran held the vine tightly. 'Come on... closer.... closer... closer....' As the wooden wolf's paws touch the pile of leaves, Light quickly held the vine with both hands and yank. The wolf's hind legs were both caught by the lasso and now its hanging upside down. Light then tied the end of the vine around the trunk of the tree tightly into a dead knot. He watched as the wooden wolf's struggle to get loose so it can tear him apart, but no avail. Light smiled at his success and knell in front of the wolf's face. "Well, looks like you weren't expecting this outcome eh?" Light said with a cocky smirk. The wooden wolf responded with growls and grunts. It even tried to swing itself a bit closer to Light in order to bite him but Light anticipate the move and move back a bit. Light was amuse by the wolf's useless struggles and began to taunt it. "Oooooh, scary" Light said sarcastically while making an expression with his hands by motioning his fingers like scratching. "The big bad wolf thought it could kill me, but it can't... because the prey caught it in a trap. It seems that the eaten... has been beat by the be eaten" Light said with a mocking laugh at the end. "Nya nya nya nya nya, you got caaaauuuughttttt by theeee preeeeeeeeyyyy. Bwa ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!" The wooden wolf watched as its prey taunt, mock, and laughed at it while being tied from its feet. Anger and irritation started to boiled in its mind. Only wanting to break out of its knots and get a chance to ugly up its prey slowly and painfully and finally kill it. And that chance has been given. The vine that is holding the wolf, started to make a sound and soon the individual vines tied together came loose. The wooden wolf fell to the ground and scratch the lasso tied around its feet to free itself. Before Light notice, the wolf surprisingly pounce right at him swiftly, colliding with his chest and knocking him on the ground. The wolf, now mad and angry, took its opportunity and crunch on Light's right shoulder as hard as it can. "Aah!" Light screamed as he felt pain rushed to his head as the wolf bit him. The pain and the trauma from the bite was unbearable. Light shut his eyes and clenched his teeth while gripping the grass with his right hand bearing the painful attack from his predator. The wolf repeatedly bite his shoulder, adding more pressure to the wound with each bite. 'Damn it! This hurts!' Light thought, but endure it to retaliate. "Get off of me you bitch!"  He swung his left fist into the right side of the wolf's muzzle, breaking a few pieces of its face along with it. The force of the punch send it a few feet apart. Light got up and quickly grasps his right shoulder, but notice something even more surprising. Not much blood was spilling out, his flesh had only been slightly damage, but the jacket's been torn. Light then notice that the wound is healing at a fast rate. 'Strange, physically resistant and a healing factor? This day is getting more surprising than any other day.' Light focus his attention back on the wolf. It was starting to get up. He looked around and notice that his stake is there, stuck in the dirt. He quickly got on his feet and ran for the weapon. The wolf blink rapidly and shook its head. It got up and saw that its prey is running away. Now even more angry than before, it roar and ran after him. Light hear the roar and run as fast as he can to the stake. He made it and took it out from the ground. The wolf soon got close and tried to pounce on Light again, but was met with a swift backlash from the stake to the face at the damage side. More pieces of twigs were broken off of the wolf's muzzle as it flew back from the counter and landed on its back. Light charged and attempts to stab the wolf on the ground. But the wolf dodge the attack as the stake pierce the ground and it quickly slash Light's right leg. Even though the damage from swipe is only slightly and would healed, the pain can still be felt. Light grunted in pain 'God, that hurts! Alright you damn mutt, it's on!' Light quickly counter by unsheathing his knife using his left hand and swung at the wolf. The knife slash the wolf's right eye, blinding it and made it howl in pain. Light pulled the stake from the ground and jabbed the wolf's neck with the butt. The force sent the wolf on it's back dazed and dive on the wolf, pinning it down. Light grabbed two rocks that were laying near them and clutch them in his hand. "Alright, Time to return the favor!" Light shouted and smash the rocks onto the wolf's face. Light kept doing it repeatedly in anger as each rock clutched by Light slammed hard on each side of the wolf's face, blood was showing, pieces of wood were breaking off while the wolf endured the assault, its conciseness has been faded, and a crater has been form around the head. Light then slam both rocks simultaneously on the wolf's face and threw them aside. He got up panting slowly from the assault and looked upon his foe. The wolf's face was damage badly and it's right eye doesn't seemed to glow anymore while bleeding heavily, and it's shown to be unconsciousness. Light turn to his stake on the ground. He picked it up and walk towards the weaken body and stand between it's hind legs. "Looks like.... I win bitch. Phew.... that was quite intense. Now to end this." Light said as his eyes looked tired and his face had some of the wolf's blood on it, but held an angered expression. Light held the sharp end in a reverse grip and raised it above him aiming at the wolf's head. Before he was about to finished off his foe, a cry happened. "STOP!" Light quickly turned to whoever shouted. What surprised him was that he found another wolf that looked the same as the wooden wolf, but as a pup. Light blink in confusion and watch the Pup tremble with tears flowing from his eyes. "Did... you just... talk?" Light asked "Please... she was only trying to find food for me. Please... don't kill her... don't kill my mother." The pup said as he choke a bit from his sobs. Light became certainly shock. His eye widen, his mouth agape as he turned his sight on the beaten wolf. It was... no, she was his mother and he was about to take her life. Light suddenly became distraught and quickly discarded the stake and moved away a few feet. The pup slowly move toward his mother's beaten and unconscious body and cuddle against her. "Mother, please mother... please wake up... please..." The pup said between sobs. Light gazed upon the moment between the pup and his mother. He was certainly angry that the mother tried to kill him in the first place, but later on, she had a child to take care of and he was going to take her away from her child, her only child. Something now filled his mind, something sad and regretful. Light shut his eyes and he clutched his head and felt throbbing pain as something started to form in his head. When he open his eyes he found a very disturbing sight before him. Bodies of people were everywhere. The area around him was dark and dried blood tainted the ground. Light was standing there surrounded by the lifeless bodies and noticed someone else behind him. Light quickly turned around and saw a man standing there. The man doesn't look any older than him. He wore a white button shirt that is not completely buttoned to the chest, black pants and shoes. His facial features looked strikingly similar to his own, but his hair is flat and both the hair and his eyes are red. "Who... who are you?" Light asked The man didn't respond, but smirk. He then raised his right hand and a black book instantly appeared with the words "Deathnote" written on the cover in white. He then open the book, took out a red pen and wrote something down. The man closed the book and looked at his watch. Light was somewhat perplexed by this man's actions, but immediately knows something is not right with this guy as he looked right back at Light with the same smile as before. After a couple of seconds went by, something now happens. Light heard a heartbeat and felt his entire body tense up for some reason. Then he felt his heart instantly throbbing in pain. He clutched his chest where the heart is and groaned in pain. 'Ach, what's happening? Why is my heart pounding so bad?' Light soon fell on his back. The pain from his heart was so bad it's starting to feel like it's going to fail. His eyes are shot open, he gasp for air and his body is going into shock. As Light is feeling his conciseness fading, the man walk up to Light's sight and hold up the notebook with someone's name written on it for Light to see. "Farewell... Light Yagami" The man said with a sneer. With those words said, everything went dark. Light shot his eyes opened with a sharp gasp. He was sweating and quickly look around as he's back in the forest with the pup nuzzling his mother. 'What was that! Was that.... a dream? No, it... felt more like something that I once remembered. Who was he? Did he gave me a heart attack? Preposterous, unless... it had something to do with that black notebook he was using? Whatever the case, I think there's something more than meets the eye.' As Light finished that thought, he turn his sights to the family. The pup is crying as he nuzzle his mother's unconsciousness body. Such a sight would make any being sad. Light immediately felt guilty about this as he felt his suppose death from the memory. Light slowly moved to the pup and the mother and kneel down. The pup notice Light near them and felt nervous, but what he noticed something else. Light was crying silently, he had tears flowing from his eyes as he hung his head and sniffled. Light slowly extended his right hand and set it near the mother's face and whisper "I'm sorry". The pup heard his words and slowly move towards Light. He gently nudge at Light's leg and Light slowly laid his eye on the young pup. "Were you... really gonna kill her? The pup said as he looked at Light with his innocent looking yellow eyes. Light ponder for a moment and spoke quietly. "(Sigh) I guess I was going to. But I was only trying to protect myself from her. She injure my shoulder and my leg, but I never could have known she had a child to take care of. I'm... so sorry for going to take life. I... I..." Light couldn't seem to finished as remorse and guilt form in his mind and he cover his mouth to lower the sound of his sobbing.        The pup watch as Light cried. In the Everfree, it was kill or be killed. There were no time to rest as every day and second there was a predator stalking you. His mother taught him how to survive, to never let his guard down as some creatures could be very deceiving and all the other creatures he seen take each others life and showed no mercy to one another, until he met him. A creature he had never seen before, fought and beaten his mother, but showed guilt and regret from the actions. The pup wasn't sure how to take this as the creature in front of could be deceiving, but this creature was something else as he had never saw it before and he wonder if its actions are genuine. "Are you telling... the truth? You're not gonna kill us... will you?" Light stared deep into the pups eyes and said, "Why would I? After what has transpired now? And besides... what will that make me?" Light said as he remembered the man from the memory. He would never forget those malevolent red eyes and that malicious sneer as it seemed that man was okay with the deaths of anything and not give a damn. 'What will that make me.' It was the pup's turn to be surprise. He couldn't find a hint of lies in Light's eyes. This started to make the pup thinks that maybe, not all creatures in the Everfree was bad. Just scared that they must have been scared like him. The pup then tried to climb on to Light. Light stopped crying and gently scoop up the wooden pup and held him in a warming embrace. "I forgive you, thank you for not taking mother away from me." The pup whispered "You don't have to forgive me. I'm just glad you manage to stop me in fact, I should be the one thanking you, for stopping me from making the biggest mistake in my life." Light said genuinely. The embraced felt warm. A feeling felt very in ways that it can be only describe as compassion. Such a feeling is enough to turn sadness into a feeling of a lifetime. Light felt it as it washed away his guilt, he felt somewhat... happy that such a feeling can be so strong. The two stayed in the embrace for a while until a new voice was heard. "A predicament you have caused, but learned to have been resolved." Light quickly perk up from the voice and saw who it belongs and what he find was even more shocking than before. A lone zebra stood there with a Mohawk hair style with 4 gold rings around its neck and one around the leg. Judging from the sound of the voice sounded feminine indicating that the zebra is female and most of all that is unusual is that she could talk. "Did you say something as well?" Light asked The zebra replied, "Yes, it is I who preach, but who are you is to speak." 'A rhyming zebra, something about this place tells me even more mysterious things are about to happen.' "My name you want? Well my name is..." Light ponder on what should he say, he doesn't know what was his name is until he remembered from the memory. The man said "Light Yagami" to him, but the way the name was written in the notebook was known as Moon Yagami. He wasn't sure which of them is his true name or how writing something in a notebook killed him. He will just have to go with what he remembers. "Moon" He said simply The timber pup was perplexed. "Moon? that's your name?" he said Moon turned to the pup. "Yes, it is my name" "Like the moon in the sky?" "I guess so" The zebra was certainly surprise by this scene. This unknown creature that she has never seen before could understand the timber pup. Whoever he is could be full of surprises. Moon turned his attention back to the zebra. "Well I gave you my name, what is yours?" Moon said "My name is Zecora, I lived in these parts of the Everfree where the nature runs free." "Wait, Everfree? This forest is called "Everfree"?" Moon speculated "Well yeah, Everfree forest is where the nature such as plant, animals, and weather moved all on their own." The timber pup said "That's funny, from where I remembered, that's normal." Zecora decided it's time to break the chat and get down to business. "If I may, what are you per say?" Zecora questioned "I'm a human", Moon said simply. The timber pup seemed confuse by this. "hyooman?" he said "A human you say", Zecora wondered, but when she looked up she noticed that the sky in the forest clearing is starting to go dark. "The day is going to be at it's end, we must go back to my hut before the offend." Moon and the timber pup looked up as well. The sky was getting dark and some of the bushes started to rustle. "Good idea Zecora, I'll explained about myself later, but right now we should get to some place safe before something bad happens and I don't want to stick around to find out." Moon said "Me neither", said the timber pup. "But what about mother, she needs help" "Don't worry, I got her." Moon said as he carefully picked up the mother's body with care and hold her in his arms. Both Zecora and the timber pup were surprised by the display of strength as Moon was able to carry a timberwolf that looks like she weigh at least 200 pounds. Moon noticed the stares of awe and seem perplexed. "What?" The timber pup was the first to speak. "Whoa, how are able to carry mother? She is quite heavy and you could lift her with ease." "Hmm... you're right, I'll explain this as well when we get to Zecora's hut. If that's fine with you Zecora" Moon said "I will help anypony in need, and help is what they'll receive" Zecora said "Alright then, let's go" With that said, Zecora walk to the direction where her hut is with Moon and the timber pup following behind. The forest does looked scary at night as it started to get pitched black. But for Moon, he could still see perfectly clear in the darkness. 'Another trick about me that'll I must figure out. Oh well, at least I could rest when we get to the hut.' //-------------------------------------------------------// Cancelation //-------------------------------------------------------// Cancelation Hello everybody, sorry about the slow updates.
