Four groaned and put a hoof on his head as he tried to stand. He felt a pain in his chest and remembered he got stabbed by a fucking horned bug. Looking around he saw that Chrysalis was tied up, bloodied, and bruised. Seeing the other ponies standing in a group, Four stumbled over to them. Four couldn't hear that well due to something in his ear, but it sounded like they were either celebrating or arguing.

"Ahem," Four cleared his throat and caused the ponies to look at him wide eyed. "Why are you looking at me like that? I got something on my face, or in my teeth?" Four was a little confused at this moment.

Twilight opened her mouth to speak but was interrupted as a yellow and pink blur shot across the room and barrelled into him.
"Oh, Four we thought you would never wake up. You've been out for five hours and we couldn't find a pulse, so we had a nurse come in and she confirmed your death! *sob* Oh, Four I'm so happy you're alive." Fluttershy sobbed while putting Four in a death-hug.

"Fluttershy's telling the truth. *Gasp* Now that you're awake I can throw you a "Welcome back to the waking world We're happy you aren't dead" party! YAY!" Pinkie excitedly yelled.

Four managed to get out of the breath-taking hug, gasping for air. "I'm gonna pass out again if you don't let me go. Besides it takes a lot more to take me down." Fluttershy realized she was hugging him a little too hard and let go. There was an awkward silence that hung in the air, before Four broke it by asking where Six was.

"He's been sitting up there for the past few minutes. I don't know why, maybe he wants to be alone." Twilight answered.

Four flew up to the shadowed ledge of a pillar where Six, now wearing another cloak, was sitting, and sat down next to him.
"Hey Six, how you doing so far?" Four asked.
'I don't know dude. This place is a little too soft.'
"What do you mean, to soft? This world is peaceful, something we haven't seen in a long time." Four said with a hint of happiness in his voice. He then stretched out a wing and hung it over Six's shoulders. "You know, I don't know why we're here though. Do you?"

'No, I don't.' Six replied telepathically. 'But I do remember seeing that one princess somewhere, Luna I think her name was?' shrugging his shoulders he continued, 'But, what do I know, we're here now and that is all that matters.' Laying down and shutting his eyes Six began to hum a song he heard.

"Well, I apparently died, again. Just thought I'd let you know." With that Four flew back down to the other ponies and Celestia had asked him if he and Six would help clean up. "Sure. We'll help, besides some of the mess is ours."

A couple hours had passed as the group of ponies finished cleaning up. Four, Six, and Rainbow Dash were just finishing putting a chandelier back on its respective hook, when Rainbow asked the two brothers a question, "Hey, so where are you guys from exactly? I mean, Six just came down as a meteor and you, Four, you were just in the forest when we found you."

Oh, shit! This is what they were afraid of, questions about them. 'Six, got anything to cover us?' Four asked Six over their telepathic link.

'I might. But I'll need a second.'

'Better hurry. I think she's tired of waiting for an answer.' Looking over at Rainbow, who was staring at them with a questioning look on her face as they hovered in the air.

Crossing her forehooves, Rainbow sighed, "You know what? I don't need to know, all I need to know is how Six moved that fast during his fight with Chrysalis. Like, that was so cool! How did you do it?"

"Uhh... I have no idea what your talking about. I've been with Six for as long as I can remember. Six can be pretty fast but not "that" fast." Four replied as he started to descend to the floor and walk to a corner with Six in tow. "If you have questions, ask us later."

The Elements were standing in a group talking about what happened a little while ago.
"Did you see how fast Six moved? That was so awesome!!" Rainbow said to her friends.
"How 'bout when he smashed the floor? Not even I could do that!" Applejack added.
"He seems so scary... I, um... think he's really, really scary." Fluttershy whispered in fear while her friends comforted her by stroking her mane, and continued talking.
"I, for one think that he needs a fashion change. That armor of his in rather drab. I suppose a nice tux and a top hat, maybe?" The other five ponies looked at Rarity with a look of annoyance. "What?! I mean he would look rather dashing in one. Perhaps even Four would want an outfit? OH! IDEAAAA! When we get back to ponyville I'll make some outfits, then find where they live and send them." Rarity said while putting a hoof on her chin and had sparkles in her eyes and blushes on her cheeks. The rest of her friends just looked at her and in unison said, "Oh, Rarity. That is just so, Rarity!" then they all laughed.

"So, Six? You done erasing their memories of me in my other form?" Four asked while stretching out his wings.

'Ya, I also replaced the other you with the pony you. Oh, and when you said I was that meteor, I changed it to say you were looking for the landing site. The rest involving the our other forms have also been modified.' Six replied as he got up from the floor and began to stretch like a cat. Fluttershy had been looking in their direction and noticed Six's way of stretching.

On the other side of the throne room, Celestia and Luna were having a discussion regarding the new stallions. "But sister, we don't know these ponies," Luna said as she looked towards the two brothers in the corner. "For all we know they could be... actually I don't know. Regardless, we don't know them."

"Luna, why should we not trust them. They saved us, we should be great full. But how can we repay them, that is the question." She said as she also looked at the stallions. "We can't just simply give them money. They would accept it, but they would think that's what we think lives are worth." she put a hoof to her chin, 'Maybe we could give them citizenship? No. What about asking them? That would make sense.' then smiled at the thought. 'We would grant them anything.'

Luna broke her thoughts by shaking her a little, "Celestia? Hey, what are we repaying them with? They're coming this way." Four and Six got up from their corner and trotted over to the princesses.

"Excuse us princesses, but if I may ask. Is there a reward? Six wants to know because he's a greedy bastard."

'Hey, I just want to know. If they got nothing I'm fine with it.' Six shot back at Four.

"Well maybe you should quit being so greedy!" Four yelled at his brother.

'Hey, Four. Guess what?'
"What do you want, Six?"

Six brought a hoof up into an uppercut, hitting Four square in the jaw. Four replied with a left hook and a headbutt, which resulted in a full on hoof fight between the two. Punches were thrown and blocked, counter-attacks delivered, and it ended with Four put in a headlock. The two fighting attracted the attention of Rarity, who screamed at the sight of the bloody headlock, which in return had the other ponies look in their direction. Fluttershy flew straight up to the two brawlers and did her famous 'Stare' while the princesses were just laughing upon the fight scene.

"Why are you two fighting? You're brothers, you shouldn't be doing this." Fluttershy said while 'starring'. "What do you think if your family was here right now?! They wouldn't want to see this, they wouldn't want to see you hurt. Please stop!"

Four stopped struggling while Six let him go. With a cold look of sadness and anger in his eyes, "You don't know what they would want to see. You don't know them, and you definitely don't have the right to talk like they're still here!"

"What do you mean?" Fluttershy asked. Applejack knew exactly what they meant and pulled Fluttershy over to explain. Fluttershy's eyes widened at what Applejack had said and flew back over to the brothers with tears in her eyes. "Oh, I'm so, so, so sorry! I didn't mean anything. I just wanted you to stop! I'm a horrible pony!" Fluttershy hugged both stallions and cried. Six, however was trying to get out of the hug, he never liked stuff like that since...her.

"Awwww!" All the other ponies said around them.

"How can we make it up to you, for helping with the changelings." Princess Celestia broke the moment. "You said you didn't live in Equestria, am I right? We can give you some money for a motel."

'We'll take the money! I'm sure there's a park bench around here somewhere, we can stay there for a couple days.' Six broadcasted his telepathy.

"In the name of Celestia! What is that voice, or am I just going crazy?!" An irritated Twilight asked.

Four laughed, "No, Twilight. You are not going crazy, every one in this room can hear it too. It's, Six. He can't exactly talk so he uses telepathy, taught by our mentor, a father really."

"Why can't he talk, is he mute?" Twilight asked in interest.

"It's kinda a long story," rubbing the back of his head, Four continued, "but a long story short, his vocal chords got ripped out."

Everypony gasped at what Four just told them. 'Having his vocal chords ripped out? Who could survive something like that, if they got ripped out then surely he sustained massive damage to his throat. And if he's a pegasus how is he able to use telepathy? Only unicorns can use it, but it's only taught to the highest students. Was their mentor a teacher who somehow managed to bypass the barrier that makes unicorns different than the other species? If so, this stallion is certainly somepony to watch.' All these thoughts raced around in Twilights head as if it was a tornado of questions.

'Alright now, we best be going. I bet some hobo took the bench I saw earlier. Come on, Four.' Six began walking out of the throne room, but was stopped as a purple aura surrounded him. He tried to fly out of it, but to no luck decided to just let it take him. Floating in front of Twilight, Rarity, and Rainbow Dash, he sighed. 'What do you want? I don't have all day.'

Rarity stepped forward and began to speak, "We can't just let our new friends who risked their lives to save us, just sleep on a bench now can we? Darling, let us take you guys to Ponyville and stay with one of us for the night. It's clearly better than a bench, hm?"

"Ya, it's not like my place isn't as big enough as it is. I take one of you." Rainbow Dash added onto Rarity's statement.

"All righty then, it's settled. Six will stay with Rainbow, and Four it looks like you're staying with Rarity." Bowing her head she excused her and her friends to head back home after a very interesting day.
