Jay's POV-

"Zane? Nya? Where are you guys?" Jay was flying around, having been converted to pony form. His light blue eyes searched the ground for his friends, knowing he had the advantage of being able to take to the sky, due to being the Ninja of Lightning. What surprised him was that he didn't need his powers anymore, at least not for flying. He had big, feathery wings on his back, and they were easy to fly with, compared to using his true potential. He decided to look in another area of the forest, until he saw a light blue Pegasus with a rainbow trail chasing him.

"What if she was sent by Garmadon to destroy me?" Jay thought. Usually, he was warm and welcoming to strangers, but when you get turned into a flying pony, your normal instincts go out of the window. Without a second thought, he flew as fast as he could away. The girl stopped after a while and landed on the ground, disappearing from sight. Jay looked back for a moment, and flew into one of the taller trees.

"Oww. That hurt!" He fell on to the ground and stood up, only to become dizzy. The world span around as he looked around, trying to figure out what direction was up. Once it stopped, his body was in a crescent shape, with his head curved towards his bottom.

"Oops." Jay muttered, about to move his legs back when he saw something on his left flank.

"What's this?" He asked himself, looking at it, only to find a lightning bolt, the interior so white that it almost glowed and the outline electric blue, shining on his dark blue coat.

"Wow, that looks amazing!" Jay exclaimed. He thought about how much Nya would like it, perhaps it could even make their relationship better.

"Plus, Kai may like me more if he saw how awesome my…." Jay didn't know what to call it.

He heard a loud thud and saw a chariot with a white, huge, pony that had a shimmering mane. She had a smug but polite and royal expression, as if she owned the world. He also saw another chariot pulled by a regal looking pony that was younger, but still had the same expression, if not a little more worried on her face. They got lower and landed next to him, stepping out. Without any thought, Jay looked at them and spoke.

"Dude, If you're more of Garmadon's creations with the mega weapon, stay away. I'm Jay the blue ninja, and I will Spinjitzu your faces if needed." Jay waited to see if they would respond, in charging possession. The two ponies looked at each other and laughed. Jay sighed, muttered a quick "I warned ya..." and shouted his battle cry.

"NINJAAAAAA GO!" Somehow, Jay managed to do Spinjitzu to knock the two ponies down. He hoof pumped and said, "Go ninja go!" to himself before looking down at the two females he just knocked out on the ground.

Why hadn't they turned into black dust? Then an awful realization hit him.

"I just KO'd some innocent ponies! " He looked in their chariot to see if they really were Garmadon's creations but he saw nothing, except for a small piece of paper that read "Find the pony with the elemental cutie mark." Then it showed a picture of a green pony's flank that had a star and the five elements.

"It's Lloyd? Well, if it is, then they may still be made from Garmadon." Jay read the words again.

"Cutie mark? This awesome lightning bolt that's put on my skin is called a CUTIE MARK?" Jay seethed, grumbling with frustration. That didn't really make him look too good in front of the rousing Princesses.

Celestia looked up at him with one thought in her mind. "Oh, he's in trouble now."

Lloyd's POV

After sitting and crying at the base of a tree, Lloyd picked himself up.

"Come on!" he scolded himself. "You're a 24 year old adult now Lloyd! A kid-turned adult that's the Green Ninja of Legend, can control all four elements and most importantly, managed to turn the ninja themselves against each other with simple pranks and rumors! He shouldn't be moping around now. No, he should be using his powers as the green ninja and flying around, looking for his friends. Not stumbling and crashing into trees!" With that, Lloyd tried to summon his powers of wind. It made him tired immediately, and just when he was about to try walking instead, he noticed big, feathery things on his back. "I wonder if…." He let his voice trail of as he flapped his wings. As he rose into the sky, he finally got a good look at himself. He had short, pale, golden hair. His hooves were…..

"Wait, hold on a second. Hooves?" He thought, "Why do I have hooves?" He looked back only to see a shimmering tail; the same color as his mane.

"Why am I a pony? I guess that human anatomy class was wrong." He thought. "When you get to a certain age, you get turned into an adult with a magical tea. Then, you turn into a flying, magical unicorn. That makes so much sense." He saw a puddle, and peered down at his reflection. He had green eyes, a long green horn, and huge wings. As Lloyd turned around, he noticed a green star with all four elements of nature on his flank. He tried to lean so that he could examine it further, but he realized something. He was closely examining his butt.

"Ewe." He thought to himself, looking around to see if anypony saw him. He looked at himself in the puddle again. "Wait." He thought to himself. "I've seen something like this before". Then he concentrated, reaching back into the recesses of his mind. Once he had reached the truth, he wished that he still didn't know what he was.

"I'm-" he stuttered, wanting the following words to be a cruel prank that Cole pulled on him for the nickname he was given. "I'm a My Little Pony!" He was embarrassed that he knew this. It was shown on TV at the bounty, and he was "home alone". That particular episode was very intriguing. After watching the next few episodes (the one about nightmare moon was his favorite), he had actually considered becoming a brony until Sensei had sneaked up behind him, chuckling at Lloyd's new secret hobby. Lloyd begged him not to tell, and Sensei just sighed and said something old and full of wisdom that he really did (not!) need to know. Lloyd had grown out of it, but he still remembered the distinct personalities of each pony. His favorite had been Rainbow Dash. And maybe still was. Now that he had actually become one, he felt like throwing up.

"Well, at least I know how to move myself. Am I in the Everfree forest?" He looked around and verified that it was true. Then he flew up towards the sky, hoping to see some sign of civilization, or better yet, his friends. He noticed a light blue rainbow pony in the distance, getting farther by the second. "It's Rainbow Dash" he breathed, as he finally started to realize how real the situation was. Rainbow was flying away. Lloyd started to fly quickly toward her, and in the process, he made a Sonic Rainboom by using his powers of rain and fire to make a rainbow. Lloyd ended up directly behind her, and he tapped her on the shoulder, trying to avoid her wings. Rainbow turned around and almost bucked him. She stopped though, when she saw his cutie mark.

"Kai!" she called down to a pony on the ground.

"I think I found him, or maybe he found me." Lloyd looked at her, almost suspecting himself of hallucination. But no, Dash was right here in front of him. She began to introduce herself.

"Hi there, you must be Lloyd. Call me-"

"Rainbow Dash," he continued for her, slightly smirking at her confused expression.

"Or Dash for short. Ponyville's fastest flier is at your service." Lloyd paused, then continued.

"Hi Rainbow, I'm Lloyd, the green ninja. Now what were you saying about my friend Kai?"

"...Are you a mind reader or something?"

"Nope. I'm better. I'm a ninja. Where's Kai?" Lloyd looked at her face, filled with awe. He liked how it felt, to have the pony he had adored so much so long ago admire him. Rainbow simply motioned downward, her mouth still agape. Lloyd flew downward toward Kai, his closest friend on the bounty and now a magic unicorn. Lloyd knew he couldn't make fun of him, that was Cole's job. Besides, he didn't want the nickname "Lloyd the alicorn" any more than Kai would like "Kai the magic pony". He flew down toward Kai, who broke into a grin when he saw Lloyd, but quickly faded away into a smile as he self consciously moved his mane. "Is that you Kai?" He smiled and looked at his friend, whose smile had been replaced with a questioning glance.

"Lloyd, what's going on? Why did Garmadon send us here? Also, why is Rainbow Dash just hovering there like that with her mouth open and drool coming down?" Kai looked at him, doubting he had the answers but still hoping.

"Look dude, I don't know about Garmadon. Maybe Rainbow is just, um, I don't know, shocked to see the green ninja?" Lloyd hoped that Kai would buy the thing about Rainbow Dash. It hadn't occurred to him that if he showed off his knowledge of Ponyville, the guys may question why he knew this. Kai obviously didn't, but he shrugged it off anyway.

"One minute. I need to go talk to your girlfriend." It was a cruel thing to say, but Lloyd needed something to take the focus of his lie. When the suggestion Lloyd had made had finally dawned on Kai, Lloyd flew away from Kai sputtering in protest. Then, he examined Rainbow for a second, and did the first thing that came natural to him. Lloyd grabbed Rainbow's hoof and sent a little electricity through it. Rainbow snapped out of her phase and looked at him, her cheeks warming in fury.

"What did you… why you little…" Rainbow backed up to charge him and Lloyd shinnied away in fear, his wings slowly guiding him backwards.

"Sorry Rainbow, umm I was just trying to wake you up!" He squeaked, ready to dodge. Lloyd knew that one of Rainbow's charges could really mess up your day. His day was already messed up enough for his taste. Rainbow flew at him at top speed, and almost hit him. She stopped directly in front of him; looking at Lloyd's scared face. Then, she started to laugh.

"Oh," she cried "That was a good one. You should have seen your face!"

Lloyd was confused, but then he started to smile.

"A-ha-ha," he laughed dryly, "really funny Dash."

"Yeah, it was." Rainbow replied, wiping away the last of her tears. "That's what you get for shocking me. Hey, where did you get the prank shocker? Did you go into town already? Also, how did you know my name?"

Lloyd explained his powers of being the green ninja, and also told her that he didn't want her telling anyone that he knew this, among other things. He showed her Spinjitzu and she was awed at his outfit, and his calmness. Then she asked him about his magic as a pony. After all, his horn was as big as Princess Luna's, or maybe Princess Celestia's.

"I don't know. Lloyd stated "But I can try doing something." Lloyd focused, and put all of his willpower into finding his pony friends. He tried to make a scan for Jay and Nya. His horn glowed, and then the whole forest was filled with green light. He pinpointed Jay's location, but Nya's seemed farther away, as if she was on another planet. She might be in a different dimension.

"It worked." He somehow showed Rainbow where to find it. Rainbow called down to Kai as Lloyd swept to the ground to see his angry face.

"Can't talk now, I figured out where Jay was." Kai looked at him defiantly but didn't argue. Kai followed Lloyd, and off they went to find their lost friend, who may or may not be dealing with two angry Princesses.
