Episode One

It was an average day for the zebra couple as they strolled past the badlands due to the peace treaty made by their queen. Now the meeting was over and they would return to their home. The two zebras names were Zane and Lilly and that fateful day their lives were changed forever.

“Zane dont you think that we should be heading back. We can’t keep the tribe waiting they’re are expecting us back soon so we can depart back home.” Lilly said.

“I know, I know but I thought we could use some peace and quiet for a bit before we return.” Zane as he nuzzled his wife.

The two kept walking until a thundering roar came from the skies and rain pouring down on them. Zane knew this wasn’t good and immediately grabbed Lilly’s hoof and made a dash towards the forest as where the tribe was waiting for them, but Lilly stopped as she heard crying nearby.

“Zane wait...do you hear that?”

The two zebras moved slowly under the trees, following the sounds of weeping. Until Zane tripped over a branch and fell off a nearby ledge and landed in a puddle.

“Zane are you alright?

“I’m fine but I do believe that we’re getting closer to who or whatever is crying.”

“It sounds like a foal.” Lilly said with a concerning face.

Each step they took was a step closer to the foal and the crying got louder and louder. Then they saw an opening where a small basket was laying in the middle where the crying originated but when they looked in the basket they found a changeling.

“WAAAAHHHHAAA!!!.” Was all the baby changeling said.

“What is it?” Zane asked.

“I don’t know but it’s adorable.” Lilly said with a grin as she tried to pick it up.

“Lilly I don’t think it’s a good idea what if it’s dangerous.”

“Oh come on what can this adorable little angel do, it’s just a foal after all.”Lilly said.

“I wouldn’t say adorable….actually I don’t know but adorable not really.” Zane said but he didn’t know what to think of this creature but he did admit to himself that it was sorta cute but he wouldn’t let his wife know that. She’d never let him live it down.

“Sure you mean that ~” She said with a wink.

As Zane looked to find anything to tell them who or where the baby changeling belonged too, he noticed something written on the basket it was scratched but he was able to make it out.

“Mor-du huh Mordu sounds a little bit intimidating for a cute little foal...wait...grr...damn it.”

“I knew it you thought it was cute you big softy.”

“Hey i’m not soft and it was a minor mistake…” But Lilly just kept smirking at him knowing that she was right and that he thought it was cute too. “Okay, okay you win...but I still think we should get out of here while we still can.”

“Alright lets take this little baby home with us…”

“Now hold on we can’t just bring a little foal home with us the others might think we stole it. We have to speak with the counsel first if we’re going to keep it.”

“(Gasp) You really mean that?” Lilly said with a glee.

“Yes but that all depends on the council members. But if they agree then yes we can keep him but he’s going to need a new name.”

“Hmmm how about Drake I always wanted a son named Drake...What do you think little one do you like.

“hehehehe mama nam nam.” the little changeling giggled as he chewed his blanket.

“Aww….he called me mama.”

“Okay that is cute, but no not Drake, we really should get going no….” But before Zane could finish he heard something hidden within the tree’s. This concerned him and he gently pushed Lilly to start moving slowly. But soon stopped and started hearing growling.

“Zane what was that?”Lilly said as she held tighter to the changeling.

“Stay behind me I remember that stench from anywhere…... Timberwolves.” Zane said as he got into a defensive position. Soon at least five Timberwolves came out from the darkness of the forest ready to feast on them.

“Alright you mangy mutts if you want them you have to go through me.” As soon as Zane said that his body started to glow as a strange aura surrounded his body and with a mighty yell his power blew the Timberwolves away a few feet but didn’t scare them off as they were desperate to eat. But Zane as he clinched his hoof into a fist it was soon on fire and Zane dashed forward with great speed and punched the Timberwolf in the stomach and turned the Timberwolf into a fiery pile of splinters.

The second Timberwolf didn’t hesitate as it charged Zane but Zane saw this coming and he leaped over it and kicked it without effort and it crashed into a tree and broke into bits and scattered everywhere. Then he shot a fireball at the remaining timberwolves and it consumed one of them as for the other two they managed to survive with a few pieces missing from them.

“If this keeps up I won’t be able to move for a while and I know theres more of them out there.” Zane thought to himself as he looked back at Lilly and the little foal. Nothing matter more to him then the love of his life and the foal’s safety. Zane wanted to try and get the two remaining Timberwolves in one attack .

They circled around Zane as he waited for the right moment to attack them. “I need to be precise on this, one slip up and it’s all over.” Zane said to himself as his hoof started to spark electricity from it. As soon one of the Timberwolves saw this they both jumped at him hoping to get him in one swift attack. But Zane was ready for this as he leaped into the air and fired a large fireball that consumed the two remaining Timberwolves.

“I hate Timberwolves...Lilly are you okay?” Zane asked.

“Yes but what about you?”

“I’m okay but a...little tired but other….than….that I’m okay we need to get moving.” Zane said breathing heavily. “We need to go now before more of those beasts come.”

And with that said both of them rushed out of there as fast as their legs could carry them. Even though Zane’s body was tired he still pressed on leading his wife and the baby changeling to home safely.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

By the time they arrived there Zane was taken to the infirmary for a brief diagnosis for any injuries or internal injuries. After his check up he and Lilly went straight to the high councillors to decide the little changelings fate. Even though they had only found the foal no longer than five hours ago they became attached to it. Zane felt sympathy for the child and was afraid of what would happen to it and how it would affect Lilly, he was determined to win the councillors voted to keep the child.

“Zane I don’t want to let him go….it would be so cruel….I don’t know what will happen to him if they say he has to go.” Lilly said as she started to cry but Zane gave her a hug reassuring her that everything will be alright.

“Don’t worry everything will be alright...I promise.” Zane said as he hugged her again. But a guard wearing silver armor appeared interrupting them.

“Zane Racka’ and Lilly Racka’, the high councillors will speak to you now. I will escort you to them personally.”

“Thank you” Zane and Lilly said. The guard just nodded and began leading them to the councillors. It didn’t take long for them reach their destination as the guard opened the door where three elderly Zebra’s were sat upon their anti-gravity chairs, surrounded by Zebra and pony guards. The first one was named Lord Andrea the head of the councillor’s and is the wisest of all his clan and the first to master the elements. The second councilor is Lord Ra’ the second head of the councillor’s and is one of the respected and feared through his clan and determines the fate of those who is guilty but not without the votes of Andrea and Marcus. Lord Marcus is the third head of the councillor’s and the youngest of the others and sees things at a different point of view.

“I’ve brought them like you asked” The guard said.

“Thank you Amadeus, you may leave now we only require four of our guards to remain. The rest of you are dismissed.” Andrea said.

“But I thought….” But Amadeus was cut off.

“Do you dare disobey us Amadeus you know fully well why we ask you to do this, or do you doubt us?” Ra’ said.

“That is enough brother Ra’ for it is a common mistake most of these guards make.” The first councilor said.

“Forgive me for my outburst brother Andrea.” Ra’ said apologetically.

“We all make mistakes brother. Now Amadeus you are dismissed. Marcus said.

“Yes hierarchs.” Amadeus said as he and most of the guards left the chambers, leaving only Zane, lilly, the high councillors and a four guards.

“Mr. Racka’ you have come here asking us to hear of you and your wife’s recent finding in the Everfree.” Marcus said

“So tell us then what is that you have found.” Andrea said

“Yes hierarchs we have found a lost foal abandon in there and we would be willing to take it in and raise it as our own.” Zane said with a bit sweat coming down his forehead.

“Show us the child if you would be so kind?” Ra’ said. Even though he asked kindly Lilly was still afraid they would try and hurt the changeling baby. But Zane placed a hoof on her shoulder reassuring her.

“It’s okay Lilly.” After he said that Lilly walked up with the child in her hooves showed the high council. They looked on in horror for they have seen the species of the child before.

“Get that monstrosity out of here.” Ra’ said with a deadly glare.

“Calm yourself brother let me speak to them.” Andrea said as he turned to look at Zane in Lilly with not a glare of hate but of curiosity. “Mr. and Mrs. Racka’ do you know what that child is?” He asked.

“No we don’t know.” Zane said with a worried expression.

“This is a Changeling, a monster that feeds off the ones you love and deceives the ones you love into believing they are you. It is very dangerous to keep such a beast here even if it is an infant. We…” Andrea was soon cut off by Ra’s outburst.

“This beast must be DESTROYED!!!!! remember the attack on our neighbors capitol they were attacked by these demons and had caused so much damage and scarred their people for life. We can not allow it here.” Ra’ said very coldly, making his point clear.

“Silence brother.” Andrea said very boldly. “ You will let me finish or you will be removed from the high council. Do.I.Make.Myself.Clear.” Andrea said as he shot a deadly glare at Ra’ and watched as he coward back in his chair. “Good now as I was saying the changeling maybe an infant but we must be careful if this changeling was placed back in the everfree than other creatures would most likely harm it and we aren’t that cruel. Well most of us at least. But we can’t allow the child to remain here.

“And why not if I may ask?”

Suddenly the doors opened revealing Princess Twilight Sparkle who was almost as majestic as Princess Celestia. She walked into the chambers with two of her royal guards by her side.

“It’s good to see you again Hierarchs

“Ah yes I almost forgot we were suppose to meet Princess Twilight but i’m busy dealing with a situation at the moment about….”

“A Changeling foal. I could hear you all yelling outside your chambers. I believe this changeling is not a threat if it remains with them.” Twilight pointed at them.

“Surely you jest Princess, don’t you remember what they did to you and your family 94 years to be exact.” Marcus said avoiding eye contact with her for some reason.

“And it’s good to see you too Marcus and no I don’t jest, I don’t even know how.” Twilight said with what looked like a smirk but wasn’t noticed by anyone but Marcus. “I know how you all fear that the same might happen to you as well but I can sense good in it, and not only that even if it was evil it would have drained her love already and she wouldn’t be even be alive knowing that changeling foals drain so much love that it kills the pony. But it’s unique in a way.” Twilight said looking at the young couple and the foal and gave a smile.

“Yes I believe you are right but what about when it gets older it will know that it’s not one of us.” Ra’ said as a warning. “Not only that but there will be those that will persecute him because of his race and their race.”

“I have already thought of that, if you allow it to….

“Um excuse me princess it’s actually a he.” Zane said.

“Yes he’s right.” Lilly said.

“If you allow him to remain here among your people until the age of eighteen then he can join a new school in equestria and attend as a student. This school allows all species including changelings although we don’t trust them still but if this one is raised right then maybe he would have a better influence on the rest.” Twilight said.

“Those terms are acceptable but not without our terms being involved.” Marcus said boldly. “If he is to remain here as one of us then he must follow our customs here.”

“Not only that, but he must also earn our trust and the clan and he will be tested at the age of eighteen to be part of our clan.” Andrea said. “But only if he passes and if he doesn’t then he can’t return when he departures to this school of yours Princess.”

Lilly and Zane were silent for a while thinking over what they had said so far and believe that there was hope of their new little foal but also feared that he might not return.

“Excuse me hierarchs and princess but we have been talking it over and we decided to agree with your terms.” Lilly said with a meek smile.

“Yes and I will be training our foal when the time comes.” Zane added.

“Very well then the foal is yours and we expect big things from….him” Marcus said.

“Thank you hierarchs.” Zane said as Lilly hugged both Zane and their new foal.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Hours had passed since the meeting. Zane and Lilly were trying to find a name for their foal. But were having some difficulties and had been going on for hours.

“How about Zane jr.” Zane said with a smirk but only to get smacked in the head very hard by his wife.

“I’m not calling him Zane jr, besides he doesn’t even look like a Zane.”Lilly said with anger to the point if he suggested another stupid name like that one then she was going to put him in the hospital. but she tried to calm down and thinking of a name. “I was thinking Scales.”

“No just no.” Zane said as he rubbed the back of his head.

“Hmmm.” Was all Lilly said as she thought and thought and thought until it finally hit her.

“Abzan what do you think Zane.”

“I like it Abzan it is.” Zane said with a smile

“Welcome to the family little Abzan.” They both said as the little changeling giggled. Cause now he was home.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Marcus remained in the chambers seeing Princess Twilight again reminded him of the times he had spend with her in his youth even though he was almost in his fifties. He still had some feelings for her but didn’t want to reveal them for that was in the past and was difficult for him to move on after they broke up 20 years ago but he almost forgot how beautiful she was. But didn’t realize the princess presence.

“It’s been awhile since we spoke Marcus how are you?” Twilight said startling him to the point he was almost beat red.

“Ppppprrincess I didn’t know you were still here.” Marcus said as he tried to ban the thoughts he had about her from a long time ago. “I thought that you were suppose to departure home tonight.”

“Nooo I said I would departure tomorrow night remember.” Twilight said with a little giggle. “I missed you my old friend, still the same Marcus as always.” She continued to giggle and watched as Marcus was struggling to find words as he blushed like crazy but just mumbled.

“And I see you’re still the same Twilight that was always adorable and kind.” Now it was her turn to blush he laughed a bit, but he continued there little conversation. “It’s been so long since I laughed like that, still it’s been good catching up with you princess.”As he was about to leave

“Indeed but do you have go, I know it’s been years since we seen each other but I would like to catch up a bit please.” Twilight said with the most adorable puppy dog eyes ever and made Marcus blush as he tried to resist and was failing at it.

“Fine fine okay I will stay a little while. You are a very stubborn mare you know that.” Marcus said with a smile.

“I do try ~ “Twilight said with a wink.

“How about we get a late night meal and continue our conversation elsewhere.”

“I would like that”

End of chapter.

Episode Two

12 years have passed since the meeting and Abzan Racka’ had grown since then. He’s been training with his adoptive father and continues to improve. Abzan has had a thing for fighting ever since he saw his father compete in Equestria’s martial arts tournament and won. Ever since then he has pushed himself to be like his father.

“Come on son you need to focus.”Zane said.

“I….I know...dad….I am trying.” Abzan said as a green aura started to form around his body as he charged at his father. Abzan tried as hard as he could but his father was faster then him and would dodge his moves with ease or block his attacks.

“You’re trying too hard to see where I am son you need to relax and focus, not with your eyes but with your senses.”Zane said to his adoptive son with a smile. “Otherwise you're going to have a ruff time at your first day of school tomorrow.”

“I know dad it’s just hard.” Abzan said.

“Don’t worry you’ll get the hang of it.” Zane said as he patted him on the back. “You just need some time and patience.” Abzan was still unsure but didn’t complain about it.

“Boy’s it’s time for dinner.” Lilly called out to them.

As soon as they heard that they both went inside and had celery soup with bread and water. Abzan loved his mother’s cooking and always got his chores done when his parents asked. But he always got the feeling that he was different from the other Zebras and other ponies that were in the tribe. But that didn’t stop him from making friends. He had a about three friends.

They weren’t afraid of him unlike everypony else but they weren’t that well liked either. Even though his family was middle class they still saw him as some low class insect. He didn’t care much about it. All he cared about was his family and friends and nothing more.

His parents told him to go brush his teeth, pack his books for school tomorrow and get ready for bed. So he did just that, still thought that even if he did have a good day at school tomorrow he was bound to make enemies and he had to be brave and stand up to them. He laid in his bed thinking how tomorrow might turn out only to push the thoughts away and fall into a deep slumber.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The next morning Abzan got ready and was on his way to school. He was both excited and nerves. Abzan had been home schooled most of his life and he was a genius but he was always a fighter then a genius. But that wasn’t going to stop him from trying to make friends.

“ Bye mom, bye dad.” Abzan said as he went out the door.

“Bye honey we’ll pick you up after school. Abzan’s mother said.

“Good luck son.” His father said.

And with that said and done, he was off. Abzan was running as fast as his legs could carry him so he wouldn’t be late on the first day. He kept running until he bumped into a young filly zebra no older than he was with a ponytail and azure eyes .

“Hey watch where you’re going.”

“Sorry but I really need…."Abzan was struggling to find the right words but was interrupted.

“I don’t care what you have to say bug. Don’t you know that you shouldn’t be talking to an elite Zebra like me unless you are spoken too.

‘Gez what’s up with this girl. She’s probably another spoiled rotten brat that my dad talks about. Better play it safe.’ Abzan thought.

“Forgive me I was distracted.”

“Pff Whatever. Next time I won’t hesitate to report you to the authorities.” She said.

“Don’t you think that’s a little harsh for a simple accident.”

“Are questioning me you piece of low class scum.”

‘What the hell is wrong with her, well one things for sure she’s not like the others.’ Abzan thought. He had never met any filly like her in his life. “You know what? I don’t have time for this I need to go.” Abzan walked past only angering her more.

“HEY I’M TALKING TO YOU!!!” She said with rage. Abzan only ignored her and continued walking ready to take on his first day of school.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Abzan had finally arrived at the Zebras and Ponies Middle School. He was nerves but not too nerves for his two best friends were waiting for him at the entrance. A slender Zebra with chestnut eyes and short mane with a blue bag standing next to a red filly with a black mane and golden eyes.

“Hey Zack, hey Zoey.” Abzan said with grin.

“Hey Abzan.” Zoey said with a huge grin.

“What’s up’s.” Zack said.

“Oh nothing much just ran into a complete psycho filly snob and got insulted. Other than that just fantastic.” Abzan said sarcastically.

“Please tell that it wasn’t Ishani Cortez.”

“Um...Who?” Abzan said.

Just before Zoey was about to answer the bell rang and the students had to go to class.

“Look I’ll tell you who she is later but we should head to class and I also checked we all have the same together.” Zoey said as she hugged both Zack and Abzan.

“You're really into this stuff aren’t you?” Abzan said.

“Yep.”

“Hey Zack are you okay?” Abzan asked.

“Uh yeah, yeah I’m fine hehehe.” Zack said with a blush.

“Are you sure?” Zoey said with concern.

“Yeah I’m okay we better get going we don’t want to be late to class hehehehehehe.”

After that they went to class and began their lessons. But Abzan was curious on why Zack started acting weird and he was determined to find out.

Episode Three

Episode 3

The first three hours of class were good so far. Abzan, Zack and Zoey were having a great time and Abzan learned that a lot of facts about the school that bugged him so to speak. Like the fact the girl he bumped into that same morning was Ishani Cortez, the most popular girl at school or that theirs this mean bully that has been held back twice and he steals new kid's lunch. But what concerned him the most was Ishani who was worst than any bully in the whole school.

“So you mean to tell me that she is the daughter of General Cortez.” Abzan said. “Well that explains her bad attitude.”

“Yep she’s the most popular girl here at school.” Zack said.

“Then why isn’t she here?”

“That’s because she likes to show up late and the school is OKAY with it and allow her to.” Zoey said.

“Well that’s a little unfair.”

“Hey it could be worse we would be forced to bow down to her will.”

“Um Zack don’t we already do that?” Zoey asked.

“Not exactly as long as we keep our distance from her and her gang we’ll be fine.” Zack shivered at that thought having to humiliate himself….again.

“Okay now I know you are making that up.” Abzan said. “Sure she might be a prissy little brat, but come on...a gang….what is it attack of the spoiled brats. I know i’m new here and all and probably need you to show me the ropes around here but come on she can’t be that cruel….can she?”

“Oh she can be, that’s why it’s best to STAY. AWAY. FROM. HER. it will save you a lot of trouble and a lot of pain.” Zack said as he patted Abzan on the back.

“Oh come on she’s not that tough is she?”

“Yep well lunch is about start soon so just remember try to keep a low profile and we'll all be fine.” Zoey said with a serious tone. Abzan still didn't see this as a big problem, to him it's just another challenge and he was ready to accept it.

All the students went outside to eat or play. Zoey and Zack were leading Abzan to their usual table but what they weren't expecting was to see a large fat Zebra with a very short mane and had a small cap on and a blue vest with a star and he had a fireball as a cutie mark.

“Well well if it isn't my zebra and pony.”

“What do you want Brock?” Zoey asked with a bit of irritation. Can’t blame her this guy bullied her since second grade and it’s bit surprising he made it to middle school.

“Oh I think you already know what I want from you two and I see you brought a friend well the same goes for him. So just hand over your lunches and you can walk out of here with no broken bones.”

“And what if we don’t want to.” Abzan said.

“Abzan what do you think you’re doing he’s going to crush us if we don’t do what he says.” Whispered Zack.

“First off if this guy does this to you a lot then why don’t you fight back.”

“Wise guy aren’t you, well allow me to show you that you have no place to question what I do.” Brock said furiously.

“Because you have no right to treat my friends with disrespect.” Abzan spated at him.

“Hehehehehehe you really want me to pound you into the ground bug!!!.” Brock said pushing him, but Abzan didn’t even flinched. While Zoey and Zack looked on with horror as their pupils shrank.

Across the lunch tables stood three other Zebra’s one with a binoculars smirking at the them, waiting for a fight to happen.

“That bug has no idea what’s coming. Brock is going to squish before he even blinks.”

“I know what you mean Ricardo but I’m kinda curious what that bug’s elemental rank is?”

“Hey Cynthia what does it say on the scanner pad on both their ranks are?” Ricardo said with a stupid grin.

“Yeah, yeah let me just pull my pad out and check okay.” She said as she pulled out a blue glass pad shaped like a rectangle with silver metal around the corners. With one hoof she held it up and it started beeping .

beep, beep, beep ,beeeep

“Brocks rank level is almost 1300 and his main element is electricity. While that bug’s rank level is a pathetic 400 and his main element is fire.”

“Really that’s the best that bug has Cynthia?” Ricardo asked.

“Yep.” they both started laughing until they both got slapped in the back of their heads.

“You two need to start showing some respect, even if the bugs rank is weak he’s got guts, not a lot of zebras and ponies stand up to Brock. Still Brock better not screw this up or I will have to change my mind about letting him into our group.”

“Sorry Zenic.” Cynthia and Ricardo both said.

“I still think you don’t have much to worry about that bug’s strength isn’t even close to Brock’s not to mention he’s a smaller then him.

“You guys forget, your shorter than Brock.” Zenic said

Meanwhile back to where Brock and Abzan stood glaring at each other. Brock wanted to squish him and be done with this, he was one of the most feared colts in school and no one ever talked back to him or even agreed to fight him. Abzan for his part was just standing there completely calm and at ease and that made Brock burn with rage.

“You got a lot of nerve to fight me squirt and you know what it doesn’t even matter I going to turn this school and you into a pile of rubble and I’m going to be standing on top.” Brock said with an evil smirk.

“You can’t win this, we can stop this now before someone gets hurt.” Abzan said.

“Yeah like that’s going to happen I’ve heard enough from your big mouth it’s time for my ultimate attack……..Hehehe…...SUPER...ELECTRO FIGHTING….” Everyone just looked at him with horror even Zenic and the others looked frightened but Abzan did not move at all. Which was the only reason why Zenic didn’t make a move. “MIRACLE ATTACK..AAH”

But before Brock could fire his attack he was stopped. No explosion, no smoke, just Abzan standing right in front of him with his hoof planted on his stomach. “Are we done. You know you shouldn’t leave yourself wide open, bad move hehehehe.” Abzan said with a wide grin.

Brock was in so much pain that he didn’t even notice Abzan removed his hoof, he couldn’t believe that some low class bug beat him. The only thing he could say was. “No...not funny. Brock had lost and collapsed to the ground.

Everyone was shocked at what just happened, one of the meanest and toughest kid in school lost to Abzan and it was only his first day at school. Heck even the teachers saw the whole thing and were shocked and impressed. Every kid that saw Brock fall to the ground started cheering for Abzan. Abzan just blushed at the praise and if he had to be honest he didn’t want it to come to this on his first day. All he wanted was to eat his lunch with his two best friends.

But not everyone cheered Zenic and his friends couldn’t believe what had happened and it made Zenic furious. “I can’t believe that Brock let some low class scum beat him and to think that I was actually going to give him a chance.”

“Zenic maybe and it’s only a maybe we could recruit the bug instead of brock I mean I checked the pad and his elemental level raised up to 1800. That’s almost as strong as we are.” Cynthia said.

“That can’t be right!!! I think that pad of yours is broken.” Ricardo said with rage.

“But it’s the latest model, fresh from the equestrian factory. I even went there myself with my father to get it.” Cynthia said as she tried to find an explanation for this.

“She’s right Ricardo that pad isn’t busted which makes me want to consider giving this bug a shot.”

“WHAT!!!! You can’t be serious that bug with us. No way. Besides shouldn’t you let the boss know before you even think about that.” He said as he clutched his hoof

“Do you think I don’t know that already. Look I’ll talk to her but you two stay away from him until I say otherwise.

Episode Four

Episode 4

“Dude I can’t believe you sent Brock to the infirmary and that guy was a monster.” Zack said as he ate his sandwich.

“Yeah I’m surprised as well Zack. One blow though. How did you do it Abzan?” Zoey asked. “I mean my rank barely reached 1,000 and You beat Brock like he was nothing. What's your secret?”

“Hehehehe nothing really, well he did leave himself wide open. I doubt I’m that strong.” Abzan said bashfully. Honestly he didn’t believe he was that strong. He guessed it was dumb luck. He was glad that his peers didn’t give him detention.

“Hey you wouldn’t mind if I checked you rank level would ya.” Zoey asked.

“Um sure I guess?” Abzan said as he stood up and concentrated on his inner power.

“Okay this was last years model but it’s still pretty good besides even if you break it. My mom will get me a new one.” She said as she pulled out her red pad. She was a big fan of red.

“Alright here I go HAAAA!!!” Abzan said as a green aura surrounded his body and began to rise. Zoey and Zack saw the power reading and it went over 2,000 and still was rising.

“NO WAY!!!!” Both Zoey and Zack said. Soon it jumped over 3,000 and still going up and eventually her pad broke as it ended around 4,500. It shocked them on how powerful he was at such a young age. It even surprised Abzan.

“What was my rank level?” Abzan asked as he gulped.

“It...it was…”

“4,500” Zoey finished for Zack. They were speechless they were lucky nopony was around during the time otherwise it would be bad for Abzan.

“Is that good?” He finally asked.

“Dude don’t you know what this means.” Zoey said with a massive grin.

“No I don’t.”

“It means we won’t have to deal with that crap Ishani and her gang pull every time. Were finally free hahahahaha.” Zack said with joy.

“What?”

“Dude nopony, zebra, or minotaur has ever reached that rank at such a young age.” Zoey said.

“Really?” Abzan for his part was shocked at this revelation. He may have trained hard with his father but that level of power has only been achieved when your at least fourteen.

“Yep that means we don’t have to worry about that bitch anymore.” As soon as Zoey said that the final school bell rang and they were free to go home. They decided to walk home together to work on their homework but were stopped by three Zebras who were about as tall as Abzan and age except the taller one in the center.

“Hello there I’m Zenic and this here is Cynthia and Ricardo.”

“Um hi...the names Abzan and this is Zoey and Zack and you are kinda in our way.” He said but apparently they didn’t get the message.

“Don’t worry you’ll go home soon but we just wanted to talk to you if that’s alright with you three.”

“Well what do you want?” Abzan asked curiously. He turned back to see his friends quiver in fear of those three.

“We want you to join us.” Cynthia said.

“What why?” Zack asked raising his voice.

“Why not you friend has a rank level of 1,800 and he beat brock with a single blow. He would be a valuable addition to our gang. The boss thinks it’s impressive to.” Zenic said with a smirk.

“That isn’t going to happen. He’s with us so go find somepony else.” Zoey said with rage.

“Yeah sure we might not be the toughest here but that doesn’t mean were letting you take our friend.” Zack said as a bright blue aura surrounded him.

“Hmm check out his rank level Cynthia?” Ricardo asked.

“Already ahead of you his rank level is about 1,000 overstake. You can take him if you want Rick.” She said with a bit of a chuckle.

“Hmpf….not bad for a rookie but my rank level is 2,400 so if I was you I’d back off.”

“Not unless he had back up.” Zoey said as she glowed with a red aura.

“Ha even together you don’t stand a chance. Although this should be interesting she has a rank level of 1,100 so I guess this could be a somewhat good fight.” Zenic said.

“NO!!!” Abzan said. as he jumped in front of his friends. “Look I refuse to join you so just leave us alone and get the crap out of here.”

“WHY YOU LOW CLASS SCUM!!!” Ricardo said as his hooves ignited on fire and he charged to land a blow in Abzan’s face only for him to block it. It surprised Everypony that he blocked it.

“Is that really the best you got. If so then I hope you don’t mind if I return the FAVOR!!!” Abzan said as his hoof landed a blow in Rick's stomach and another punch to the face and was sent flying backwards. Rick soon got his footing and held one hoof to his stomach.

“AHH Damn it….Damn you.” He said with anger and in pain.

“Enough Rick you need to relax. I will deal with this low class bug. Cynthia you deal with his friends.”

“But...I can still…” Rick said but stopped as soon he saw the disappointment in Zenics eyes.

“Now bug if you don’t mind I would like to make this quick.” He said with a Smirk.

“Fine by me!!!” He said with a glare.

Zenic and Abzan are about to throw down, Zoey and Zack are helpless to help their friend and how powerful is Zenic and where is their boss they keep speaking about find out next time on Abzan the Changeling.
