Shinobies of Equestria
Chapter 7: The Legendary Six
Previous ChapterJetetsu sprinted across his field. Never before in his life had he ran so fast. He wanted to reach the town square as quickly as he could. For a very legendary ninja group had arrived in Ponyville just last night, The Elements of Harmony! Jetetsu wanted to see them with his own eyes.
"Wow! The legendary ninjas of Ponyville are here! I wonder what they'll be like. I've heard rumors about them! I never thought they would actually exist! This is my chance to see what a REAL ninja looks like!"
He heard that they were the ones who saved Equestria from eternal darkness. They actually beat Nightmare Moon, the ninja of eternal darkness! He couldn't wait to see them!
Jetetsu continued his dash towards the village. His haunches were beginning to weaken, but that didn't bother him one bit! His pace stayed the same; onward to meet the legendary ninjas!
Jetetsu made it to the Hokage's building and took a look around. Nopony looked awesome enough to him to be a badass ninja. He knew that they were all supposed to be mares, but still, he at least thought they would still look recognizable. He continued his search around Ponyville. He looked high and low for them, or for at least one of them, but found nopony. He even went by the Sugarcube Corner to see if they had stopped to get a bite to eat, but nothing.
He ran all around town, but nothing! This was really starting to try his patience. He ran some more.
"Come on! They have to be around here somewhere. Maybe if I try the libr- Whoa!"
THUMP!
CLANG!
"Holy crap... What the hell was that?"
"Oh my! Excuse me? Are you okay little one?"
Jetetsu looked up to see a mare standing before him. Pretty good looking unicorn. She wore a cloak with a collar covering half her mouth, on the cloak was a mark that looked like a star with sparkles around it. Jetetsu could also tell she was near the middle ages. 30 maybe?
"Yeah, I'm fine, it's nothing. I go through way worse in training." The unicorn offered a hand. Jetetsu accepted it and stood.
"Ah, so your a ninja then? A genin I presume?"
"Yep, you guessed it. Watch out though! Because I'm only going to be a genin for a short while! Soon, I'll be a full-fledged ninja in no time at all!"
"Oh, so you think you can do it that fast, huh?"
"Hell yeah I do! I'm going to train as hard as I can every single day! I'll become stronger and stronger, and someday, I'll be able to beat the Princesses in battle! Then everypony will call me the greatest! Even you!" Jetetsu laughed
"So you think you can become that strong? That's your dream?"
"As I said already, hell yeah! You can make that a promise!"
Jetetsu gave her a thumbs up. She giggled.
"Keep up that determination of yours, and I have no doubts that you'll fulfill your dreams!"
"Thanks! Oh, by the way, my name is Jetetsu. What's your name?"
"My name? Well... You'll find out soon enough, okay? For now, I hear that the Hokage wants to see you, you check up on that." She patted his head and walked away.
"Well, alright then. I guess I can look for those ninjas later. The Hokage is the priority now. Jetetsu raced towards the Hokage's building.
"Jetetsu, come on in. There is somepony I want you to meet." The door opened and in came Jetetsu.
"What is it Macintosh? Who do you want me to meet?"
Jetetsu noticed that the unicorn from earlier was by his side.
"What the! Hey, it's you! Your that unicorn from earlier, aren't you!?"
The Hokage spoke, "So you two have already met, I see. Well, to get straight to the point. Jetetsu, the unicorn here, her name is Twilight Sparkle, and she is the leader of Ponyville's legendary six, also known as the Elements of Harmony." Big Mac gestured towards the cloaked pony.
"Give her all the credit, why don't you. It's not like there's five others who are just as worthy of the Hokage's recognition as she, you know?"
Jetetsu jumped at the sudden voice and turned around. He saw five other mares standing near the doorway, leaning on the walls. Jetetsu was surprised, they weren't in the room when he arrived, and the door never even opened! They must came in through the windows without him seeing, they must have some serious skill.
"Are you all the Elements of Harmony? The legendary ninja group that took on Nightmare Moon?"
The rainbow colored one replied, "Oh yeah, I remember her. She was the first REAL fight we ever had, come to think of it! We destroyed her in an instant! Didn't even last ten seconds." She gave a smug smirk with her eyes closed and her head down, making her look pretty cool.
"All right girls that enough, come, so that Jetetsu can get a good look at you all." The Hokage insisted.
The five mares stepped forward, giving Jetetsu a better look. The other half of the room was dark, after all. When they emerged from the shadows, Jetetsu's eyes automatically went to the rainbow colored one; she stood out the most.
She had on the same cloak as Twilight did, except the symbol on it was different. Instead of a star like Twilight's cloak had, hers was etched with thunderbolt coming out of a cloud.
The rest of the mares were the same. All but the markings on the cloak were the same. After the rainbow one came a mare that was near the shade of orange. Her marking was a bunch of apples.
Next was a cream colored mare, whose marking consisted of three butterflies. She seemed like the nicest. The one after her was a white mare whose marking was a group of diamonds. Lastly came a pink mare whose marking was a pair of balloons.
Jetetsu concluded that the markings were their cutie marks. They all looked so strong as well!
"Jetetsu, these ponies have come back to Ponyville from a long journey they were sent on. I know how badly you want to beat the Princesses in battle, so when they asked me what pony in general that I thought was the strongest of the new genin and why, I replied Jetetsu, mainly because he had the best dream and the strongest will." Big Mac walked up to Jetetsu and placed a hand on his head.
Big Mac continued, "I know you've been through some harsh times, what with your parents sealing Ranga within you, dying because of it, and being treated like a monster throughout your childhood. I know you must've felt miserable. You've endured very tough times, and yet your determination still burns bright to this very day! That is why you, out of all, are considered one of the most talented in my opinion." Big Mac removed his hand.
"Oh wow, thanks Macintosh. That really means a lot to me, I guess." Jetetsu smiled.
"You guess, huh? Well I guess that the Hokage really didn't need to do all that for you if all your going to do is say that much." The rainbow colored one said.
"I'm sorry but, I'm just not good with words. It's all I can say, really." Jetetsu gave a goofy grin.
"Well enough of that, you five have yet to introduce yourselves to him! Who goes first?"
The rainbow one stepped forward, "I will. My name is Rainbow Dash kid. I'm the fastest one in the group; my specialties lie in Wind style as well as Lightning style. So you could say I'm pretty awesome." She moved to the side of the room. Next was the white one, "Why hello to you darling! You are just the cutest thing ever aren't you!? My name is Rarity, and I use Earth style along with Fire style. I mix the two up to create my own style, the Diamond style. Remember that alright?"
Then the orange one, "Hey there fella! Mah name is Applejack, I'm the strongest in the group, and I'm also the most skilled in taijutsu. I just love usin' me some Water and Earth style! Big Mac there is mah brother too! "
Then came the cream colored mare. Her voice seemed more calm and sounded very nice.
"My name is Fluttershy, and I happen to be the medical ninja on the team. If it ever comes down to it, I use Fire style; I hardly know any though..." She trailed off and stepped aside.
Lastly came the pink one, "Hey there I'm Pinkie Pie and I love a lot of things like having fun even when on the battlefield I don't really know what I do for the team I just go and fight whoever's in our way I use A LOT of Water style and Fire style and apparently I mastered the teleportation jutsu according to my friends I love sweets like you have NO IDEA and I love talking to ponies about lots of different things I hope we can be really good friends cause your just SOOOOO cute!!"
Twilight interrupted, "Okay Pinkie! I think that's enough, your going to give the poor colt a headache." Pinkie just smiled and nodded, then stepped off. Jetetsu was on the verge of blushing from being called cute two times today. He collected himself and looked towards Twilight
"My name is Twilight Sparkle, as you may have heard, and I am the leader of the group. I use Lightning style, Water style, and Fire style; with the exception of some particular genjutsu. I'm the only one here who knows three jutsu styles to use. I am usually the one in the back of the group when a fight breaks out, this is so that I may direct the team from a safe distance." Twilight then bowed a little.
"Okay, well, thank you for the intros and other stuff. So why are you all here, and why am I here at that?"
"I brought you here so that you may meet Ponyville's best ninja. I just wanted to let you see what you are going to have to live up to; you have to be as battle versed, wise, reflexed, and most importantly, you have to be as patient as them." Big Mac said.
He continued, "Well, I just wanted you to meet them, that's all. Now you may leave." The Hokage pointed to the door.
"Alright then, thanks." Jetetsu left, closing the door behind him.
"Now as for the rest of you." The Hokage said.
"Yes Lord Hokage?" Twilight replied.
"Is he seriously the one? The one you wanted us to train when next year comes around? He doesn't look too special to me." Rainbow Dash said.
"Don't underestimate him Dash, I actually saw him a little while ago. He told me his dream was to beat the Princesses in battle, to become stronger than all. He looked really serious about it as well. The determination in his eyes, the fire in his heart, it amazes me!"
Rainbow Dash laughed, "Oh Celestia!! That's the most outrageous thing I've ever heard! This colt! I swear he'll kill me! That's just so funny Twilight!" She laughed some more.
"Well, I thought he was a nice kid. I think he could do it as long as he never gave up." Fluttershy chimed.
Pinkie Pie joined, "Well I thought he was REALLY cute! He's gonna be a treat for all the mares when he gets older!" Pinkie giggled.
"I agree darling! He was just the cutest thing EVER!! Though I'm pretty sure that he isn't focused on that right now; Twilight said he wanted to become stronger so..." She didn't finish.
"We're all clear then right? Now you all know what your dealing with, am I right?"
All replied, "Yes Hokage!"
"Good, then scatter!"
The six then disappeared into the village.
Jetetsu was walking around town, passing by the familiar sights. Sugarcube Corner, Golden Oaks Library, the Academy. He was just taking in all the sights. He was also pondering.
"I wonder what they wanted from me. I know the Hokage wouldn't have called me there to just MEET them, right?" He thought about it for a while.
On his way back to the house, he passed by Rioku Fushima. He gave a scowl at him when he passed, Rioku gave a similar face back. He really didn't like the guy, he WAS his rival after all. He kept on walking.
Then on his way back, he ran into somepony who he was REALLY surprised to see out here, he saw Haruhi! Jetetsu ran up to her and gave her a hello.
"Hey! Haruhi! What's up!? What're you doing out here?"
Haruhi turned and saw him. She gave really surprised look that was mixed with fear as well.
"Oh! Jetetsu! I thought you were, um, well aren't you supposed to be...!" She stopped talking when Jetetsu stopped before her.
"So your finally roaming the outside huh?! Good for you! So what have you been up to?"
"Oh! Uh, um... No-nothing much Jetetsu, I was just, uh..." She started to turn red.
"Are you sure your alright? Your red you know. Do you have a fever? Here, let me feel." Jetetsu placed his hand on her forehead. Haruhi embraced his soft touch, she blushed even more.
"Whoa! Haruhi!? Are you alright?"
"Yes, I'm fine, Jetet-" She fainted.
"Great. THIS again." He picked her up and carried her back to the house.
Haruhi awoke in Jetetsu's bed. She got up and looked around, she saw a glass of orange juice on the nightstand. She gladly drank it all.
"Mmmm... Thanks Jetetsu." She said to herself.
She got up and out of bed and went downstairs to the living room. She got down there and saw Jetetsu on the couch, sleeping the night away. She wished he was awake so that she could thank him properly, but she couldn't wake him now of all times; that would be rude. She looked over him, she thought he looked cute when he slept. He didn't snore, he didn't move at all, and his facial expression never changed from that handsome face he had when he was awake.
"You've been so good to me. Yet, all I've ever done was use your house and wash your clothes, I wish I could do more, much more. It's just that, I'm so in love with you right now, and I've only met you! Why is it that every time I see you, I get so flustered and my body just gets this feeling? I'm sure you don't feel the same way however, but hopefully, as time passes, you'll feel the same way soon enough." She gave him a kiss on the forehead.
Without thinking, she got on the couch beside him, and fell asleep with him.
