Pon Pon Pata Pony!

Such cold rain......

Your body and soul may be imprisoned in stone but yet, you can feel the pits and pats gently upon your back. The environment surrounding you is devastated, black and ravaged. The trees charred from being burnt, not a single green leaf could have been spotted or saved. Only black and white.

The legend revived.....

You were not alone. Your fellow comrades, stallions and mares alike have fallen with you trapped in stone to represent what could have only been a battlefield. Their frozen battle stances side by side, fearless, strong and for one another, they readied their weapons for a final attack. A lightning bolt strikes the grounds of Equestria, brightening the dark area temporarily as their tribal marks of white showed perfectly contrasting with the black. So simple but yet so powerful were your ponies. What could have possibly gone wrong?

Only one hope remains - You.

Being brought here, imprisoned in stone by that same shining blue light, it descended from the heavens taking form of your species both winged and horned.  The only being with color, she hovered above you with her great wings not too soon to land beside your frozen body." HUZZAH! THE TIME HAS COME TO REINCARNATE THE GREAT UBERHERO!" She shouted matching the volumes of the rolling thunder.

Sight and sound of her alone, the earth obeyed her command as a continuous beat filled the area. Being a Patapony, hearing the music of her tribe, she danced beating her hooves upon the floor in perfect synchronization. " HARK! THE RHYTHM OF EQUESTRIA! THE BRAVERY DRUM!"

[ PON PON PON]

Wait, what was happening?! Even in your imprisonment, your body became aglow hearing the chants of your ponies once again.

[ PON PON PON]

Spreading her wings over you, she looked to the heavens above praying for a miracle. " UBER! TAKER OF THE OATH! IN THE NAME OF THE LEGENDARY HERO!''

[ PON PON PON]

" BECOME HIS ESSENCE! AND MANIFEST YOURSELF UPON EQUESTRIA!"

[ PON! PON! PON!]

The music immediately came to a pause at the final beat, your body glowed miraculously brightening the entire area as feeling had returned to your hooves and legs. With a mighty gasp, you breathe uncontrollably making up for lost oxygen throughout your imprisonment. Flowing through your body, oxygenated blood resupplies your muscles allowing you to take control of your hooves. You take a stand meeting the midnight blue alicorn towering over you.

" Where ....am I.... How Could I.... Am I... alive?" You asked confusingly to the alicorn. The only thing you could have perfectly remembered was being asleep, only to be awoken by-- " YOU!"

"  Yes! It is I, Princess Luna of the Night!" She introduced herself. Knowing that she is the princess, you would like to bow to your highness but instead, you have more important matters. Looking to your right, you gaze upon your fallen ponies trapped in stone. All of them.

" What in Equestria happened?" You ask with dread in your voice.

Luna sighed pointing a hoof to your comrades," Behold your brothers and sisters; turned to stone after breaking the curse of Discord and releasing a great evil upon our land."

Knowing this, and with a great ache in your heart, you take a slow trot towards them as step by step the pain grows making it harder for you to move.

Slowly but surely, you power through but is once again obstructed your hoof banged against a piece of metal. You silently curse yourself in pain, looking to the floor for what could have possibly caused this. It was your promised cannon just laying in the mud! You bring it back upon its wheels as you swipe your tail across its surface ensuring that your firearm always stayed clean.

" I am sorry, but you are here by oath reborn as the essence of Uber," she apologizes.

You trot to a puddle of water looking at your reflection. Wait a second! This was not you! Whose body were you in?! Last time you checked, you were a regular Patapony with your usual black and white pattern, but now? Your body was coated a light pink from that hyperactive mare you had chosen earlier on. Nevertheless, the markings of your tribe, black circles connected to one another by a white line remained.

Slamming your hooves in the puddle, your image is distorted as you look towards Luna and shout, " WHO AM I?! I DON'T UNDERSTAND!"

As if by instinct, she understands your pain, but, you are a hero! And there was no time for sorrow.

[ PATA PATA PATA]

You raised yourself from your sorrow hearing the beat once again.. Your eyes blink in recognition of that sound as you ears twitch trying to pin point the source of the drumming.

[ PATA PATA PATA]

" Now, now! Hear that? That's the drum of the ancients!" Luna informed you.

You stand upon your hooves suddenly filled with energy as you take a trot beside her towards the direction of sound," I feel... Strength."

" As do I, it is the song of our ponies, even in death, we stand by one another."

[ PATA PATA PATA]

Well, look at what you had found! A lone flag bearing Patapony beating the drum of the lost soul Pata or as the sisters called her, Ditzy. " Please! Mighty One! Last Hatapony be gobbled up!" He called out a prayer beating the red drum, hoping that somepony would have heard him.

[ PATA PATA PATA]

" Pata Pata Pata Pon!" Luna sang in perfect synchronization completing the beat," Hatapony can only strike Pata, but cannot pound a Pon. Come on Uber! PATA PATA PATA PON!" She shouted the order of the drumming beats," He needs to complete the rhythm!"

[ PATA PATA PATA--]

" PON!" You exclaim shooting out your right hoof in a dancing step. With the beat completed, the music evolved from beats and into a more lively tune.

The flag bearer looks at you confused but does not stray from the rhythm," Er...Wait...Could it be possible?" He asked unsure of himself. A second time did he drum the beat with his hooves keeping an observant eye on you.

[ PATA PATA PATA--]

" PON!" You repeated with your previous steps," Wow! This feels....Exhilarating!" You exclaim as adrenaline pumps through your body. The motions feels effortless as you trot alongside your two companions, Luna who skips and dances to the beat as Hatapony joins you, raising his flag and waving it to and fro.

" Three petrified heroes remain! Find them to free them of their curse!" The alicorn of the night exclaimed. " The spirits of Tate, Yuri and Yami shall lend you their strength!"

Continuing your short dancing trot towards the statues, Princess Luna rushed ahead finding the first Patapony, a pegasus with a lance clenched between its jaws. She hovered above the statue as did yours and announced," Bound by oath Ton Yaripony! And by the spirit of Rainbow Dash! Awaken as the convert, Yaridash!"

Filled with life once again and hearing the beat, Yaridash joins the remaining members of the tribe." HATAPONY! YOU FOUND THE UBER HERO, HAVEN'T YOU!?"

" I sure have!" Heresponded jubilantly following your lead with Luna. Three Pataponies found and two more to go! The beat and music filled your body with positive emotions as you once again saw your ponies alive, breathing and joyous. Yaridash threw her lance in the air feeling the music through her soul as if it was a parade surely about to catch it.

Completely out of random sake, the music died off as if a record had been scratched during mid-play. Nearly losing your life again by an inch, the lance landed beside your body as it struck the floor standing up right.

" Hey! Watch it!" You warned the pegasus who apologized with a 'whoops'. Surely there must be a well enough reason for this.

Taking a quick gallop ahead, you reach beside Luna once more and question your majesty," Hey Princess, what's wrong? You look like you've seen a ghost," you say describing her expression to the point.

Carefully observing the midnight blue alicorn, her mouth was agape as her eyes widened with dilated pupils, she stared at a single petrified statue towering the other Pataponies. " It's because I have."

" Well, who is that?" You asked out of sheer curiosity.

" That...That my dear hero, is my sister, Princess Celestia."
