*KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK*

"Spiiiiike!"

"I'll get it." groaned Spike in reply to the equally tired lavender unicorn sprawled across her bed surrounded by pillars of books from studying into the early hours of the morning.

*KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK !!*

"Calm down! I'm coming!" shouted the dragon to the impatient and annoying pony outside of the library. He definitely was *NOT** a morning kind of guy.*

A very familiar 'eep' came from the other side of the wooden door. Spike just sighed and opened the door saying in a slightly aggravated tone "What is it Fluttershy?"

"Oh...uh-um could I speak to Twilight. Um, please?" replied the overly shy yellow Pegasus to the purple and green scaled baby dragon.

"Oh! Fluttershy, come on in and take a seat." squealed Twilight, who had just fell down the last few steps of the stairs in order to greet her guest.

The yellow Pegasus then rushed to Twilight's side to make sure she was okay. After she was sure Twilight was okay, they sat down on some old wooden chairs surrounding an equally old oak wood table in the kitchen.

"Ok then, Fluttershy, what was it you wanted to talk about?" Twilight said with a weak smile due to her mishap on the stairs.

"Yes, um-all of the animals are running out of there pens and are panicking, I can also hear faint roars coming from inside the Ever Free...A-and I can see a bright blue and white glow coming from the forest as well...I-its k-kind of sc-scaring me..."

Fluttershy was then interrupted from her faint whisper by a shocked and intrigued Twilight sitting opposite her at the table. "Did it look like pony magic?"

"*eep* erm... no. It was not like any magic I have ever seen... It looked like it was shaped into a slowly rising white and cyan f-fire..." replyed the timid Pegasus "It was so...so...just...scary. y-yet it was as if it was asking me for help as if it was in p-pain."

"Are you sure?" Twilight asked with a lot of worry in her large purple eyes "Because the last time you said something like thi-"

This time, Twilight was interrupted as the butter yellow Pegasus stood with her hind legs on the chair and her fore hooves on the table "I am certain that this is not just a mean pony playing a prank on me! Or somepony using there magic in the forest! This...this...was different. I-I could feel and sense it was different..."

Twilight was staring wide eyed at her ,usually, calm and shy friend taken aback by her outburst "O-oh... s-sorry... I didn't mean to...*eep* please don't hate me." muttered Fluttershy hiding and hanging her head in shame behind her smooth, light pink mane.

"I don't hate you Fluttershy," Twilight said before moving Fluttershy's mane out of her face and then continuing with "...No one could hate you...Not for even a minute." the unicorn then gave a comforting smile before receiving one from her friend.

"Now, lets gather up the girls and get going!" blurted out Twilight. Fluttershy gave a thankful nod and smile to Twilight.

They both headed for the door and told Spike to stay here until they got back and left to find the others...

The amount of pain surging through Lugia's body was enough to kill sixteen or more men in an instant. He felt as if every flake of skin, every speck of blood, every bone in his body and every organ he had was being ripped viciously from his body, the pain increasing every second. Every breath he took was a struggle,not just because of the pain inside of his dying body, it felt as if his lungs weren't going to even try and take in any air as if they were scared of exploding and causing Lugia's chest to spill his guts onto the floor, In which he couldn't see at the moment. It felt as if his whole entire body  was against him as he felt his heart drop to a single beat every three seconds...

"Can somepony tell m' wha's goin' on!?!?!?" screamed an orange earth pony,Applejack, to the two mares running a few feet ahead of the other three she was with.

"YEAH !!!!!! We at least need to know why you dragged us out of our homes and where we're going!!!!!"squawked Rainbowdash, a cyan Pegasus with a rainbow colored mane and tail.

"Actually Rainbow...That is indeed...All we need...To know." said Rarity gasping for air occasionally during her sprint to catch up to the others.

"Ooooh! Are we going to stop a very shneaky ninja from stealing carrots from carrot-top?!?!?!? *gasp* Maybe there is a new pony in town and I need to make a party for them!!?!?!?!?!?! *A reeeeaaaaaally long winded gasp* Maybe a whole family moved into ponyville and I need to throw them a massive party !?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!" Pinkie Pie almost shouted loud enough that ponys in a different dimension could hear her.

"PINKIE!!!!! quiet! Fluttershy will explain along the way." Twilight screamed just to get the pink mares attention.

Fluttershy nodded and began to explain what she saw, sensed and felt...

It had all gone dark. But..yet, Lugia then suddenly remembered this place and took a deep breath "Hey! Arceus! I died again!"

"AGAIN!!!!!!! YOU HAVE DIED TWO TIMES NOW!!!!!!!" boomed Arceus as he flew down to Lugia

"HEY!!!" retorted Lugia "Both times were to save others in harms way!!!!! Besides, at least I'm not leaving pools of blood from my head to stain the only white thing in the room other than me and you, the carpet." they both shared a good chuckle after that. When they stopped snickering, Arceus began to speak "You do know I can't bring you back now that I have already done that once already,right?"

Lugia nodded and then began to smile "It was worth it..."

Arceus sighed and then continued on "...Ok this is the last time I'm doing it. You will need to rest for two or so days until you can do whatever you normally do." Lugia's smile grew and his large eyes began to grow even bigger "BUT! There is a catch. At first it might seem a bit weird but you'll just have to get used to it. Ok?" Lugia looked quizzically at him before he nodded and then everything went white with a deafening explosion and the pain crept its way back up Lugia's spine...

********

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Just under a mile away from the group of ponies in the forest an explosion erupted and sent them all a good ten meters back  . But, another thing that came along with the explosion was a blinding light that shot up so far into the sky, you couldn't see where it ended.

After a while of making sure everypony was Ok they walked slowly towards the nearly one mile long crater in the ground.

They then proceeded to go deeper upon seeing a white creature probably just a bit taller than Princess Celestia.

Fluttershy was just about to assault him with tender, love and care. But it moved. He stood on his legs and looked down at the ponies, backing away in fear of him. After a rather long time of just staring he said "Well, this is new..."
