The Three Pupils

We see a bedroom at night time at the castle land called The Land of Exodus. Wayward Wind is lying on her bed with two guard rings that are on one of each arm. She sits up and sighs. She looks out the window; a meteor shower appeared in the sky.

"A meteor shower!" she smiled and she jumps off her bed, grabs her green vest which it was on the bed post and runs out of her room.

Wayward Wind runs down the front steps of the castle and check out the sights "I can't see much from here" she moves to next area and sees a training ring.

"Oh, I've got time to spare!" she summon her keyblade and aim on the training ring giving a few hits and the ring swings around as she continues on to more training rings.

"What? You want a piece of me too?" she starts to point her keyblade in the air and summon her wind magic and attack the rings and then later she stops and she was tired out on so many hits and sooner she reminded herself about what she was about to do "wait, what am I messing around here for? I'm gonna miss the meteor shower!" She ran to the summit, Wayward walks toward the cliff and looks up and she sees the night sky, it was so beautiful.

"Wow" she said.

Wayward lays down with her hooves behind her head to look up in the sky and the breeze blowing in through her body and her ponytail mane blows back.

"Why does this seem so familiar?" Wayward closes her eyes and drifts off to sleep.

After a short nap she wakes up, sits up to look around. She yawns while stretching and then she lays back again. When she looks up she sees a blue Pegasus named Nightcrest, staring down at her.

"Whoa!" she sits back up in a shock and turned around and Nightcrest starts to laugh.

"Gimme a break, Nightcrest" laughed Wayward.

"Wayward, you breezy sleepyhead. You know you should have at least brought a blanket" said Nightcrest.

"But, did I dream that place up? It really felt like I'd been there before...looking up to the sky" Wayward looks down as Nightcrest pats her on the head to calm her down.

"'Cept you've always lived here with us" Nightcrest laughed again while patting Wayward on the head.

"Yeah...I know."

They walk over to the edge of the summit and sit down.

"Hey, Nightcrest. Y'ever wonder what stars are? Where light comes from?"

"Well, they say..."

"That every star up there is another world." A voice was heard from behind and it was interrupted when Nightcrest was about to say and they turned around and sees a brown Unicorn named Firarra.

"Firarra" Nightcrest called out.

"Yep, hard to believe there are so many are out there besides our own. The light is their magic, and it's shining down on us like a million candles" said Firarra as he talks about there are many worlds outside their own, but Wayward seemed a little confused about what he is saying.

"What? I don't get it" Wayward asked.

"In other words, they're just like you, Wayward." said Firarra when Wayward stands up and walk towards him.

"What does THAT mean?" she asked, but Firarra doesn't even want her to know now just yet.

"You'll find out someday, I'm sure."

"I wanna know now" Wayward starts to shout and began an argument.

"You're not ready to know now."

"Quit treating me like a little girl."

Then Nightcrest began to laugh at the two.

"Hey, what are you laughing at?" asked Firarra.

"I can't help it. You two would make the weirdest brother and sister" she started laughing.

Wayward and Firrara began to raise an eyebrow and looked each other with confusion and Nightcrest began to make a funny and they the three began laughing to one another. Later on the three are now sitting on the edge of the summit looking up at the sky. Nightcrest began to stand up.

"Oh yeah. Firarra, you and I have our Mark of Mastery exams tomorrow" said Nightcrest as she reaches into a pocket to get something special for her friends.

"I made us good luck charms" she throws an orange star-shaped crystal charm necklace at Firarra, who catches it and throws the green one to Wayward.

"I get one too?" Wayward asked.

Nightcrest nodded "Of course. One for each of us."

They hold them out, close to the other charms in a circle as Nightcrest began to speak "Somewhere out there, there's this place represents a bond of friendship. So as long as you and your friends carry good luck charms shaped like it, nothing can ever drive you apart. You’ll always find your way back to each other. Technically, I think you’re supposed to make them with shards, but I did the best I could with what I had."

"Sometimes you are such a girl" said Firarra.

"Hey, what do you mean, “Sometimes”?" Nightcrest replied and Wayward looked between the two and then she look down into a disappointment "So this isn't a real good luck charm?" she asked.

Nightcrest looked at her and said "Well, that’s yet to be seen. But I did work a little magic on it."

"Really? What?"

Nightcrest holds her blue charm up "A bond of friendship."

The Last Night

"Well, tomorrow's the exam. Anypony wanna spar?" said Firarra as he turned his head to his friends to practice their skills and Wayward seemed ready as she stands on her hind legs and summons her keyblade on her right hoof ready to do a practice battle "Ah can take ya!" She said.

While they do that she charges at Firarra ready to attack she jumps and swings her keyblade forth as Firarra blocked the first attack. Once the attack was deflected Wayward was off balanced as she fell on the floor, she got up again and try again once more, she swinge and Firarra blocked it.

"Quit goin' easy on me. You're not gonna win unless you stay on the offensive!" said Wayward.

As so on Firarra keeps hitting Wayward again and again and sometimes he blocked a few moves by using his commands and finisher magic while he was practicing battling with Wayward. Nightcrest walks over "Well, that works fine if you're fighting one on one."

Nightcrest used her wings to float as her fighting position, while she's about to practice and Firarra stood out so he can watch the two girls fighting against each other.

The two girls stood in battle as Wayward charges Nightcrest, when she uses her star blast shot lock magic against her. There were white bright stars sparkling out on her keyblade and Wayward got hit by them and let a few breaths coming out of her mouth.

"Okay everypony, let's wrap this up!" said Firarra as he joins in.

After a few minutes of battling each other Wayward begins to feel tired after all that, she can also feel her sweat coming down to her forehead as she collapsed on the ground when her friends were laughing softly. Nightcrest walked over to Wayward and reach out her hoof to pull her up so she can stand up again. Wayward began to look at them and she feels like they are ready for the big exam tomorrow.

"Firarra, Nightcrest. Trust me, you guys are ready. You're gonna be full up at the exam tomorrow."

"Yeah, I'll bet it will be easier though" said Firarra.

"It's like the Master said. The light is desire within the heart. When the time has come, you just need to look inside yourself...and you'll find it there. said Nightcrest walking towards to Firarra and Wayward.

Wayward began to nod with agreement and then later on she looked up into the stars and think a bit and then Firarra called out to her that they are heading back to the castle.

"Hey, we're gonna head back" he called.

Wayward turns around and saw the two ponies up ahead "Yeah. Me too!" Wayward catches up with them and the three walk toward the summit entrance. Nightcrest stops and watches a shooting star fall.

"Together...forever" she said. She runs a little to catch up with the others on their way back to the castle.

"That would be the last night we ever spent beneath the same sky, with the same stars."

~Wayward Wind, Firarra and Nightcrest.

Meanwhile in the middle of the rainy stormy sea. We see a young Cerulean blue Unicorn name Arctic on a raft trying to protect himself from the storm. But the storm was so strong that the lightning strikes at the sails on the raft and it began to snap off. Arctic was shocked when he sees that and the sails began to fall. he stopped it by usng his levitation magic to stand it up straight with his horn "come on, come on" he begged as he tries his best to hold it. He spots some rope and he ties it around the pole with a tight knot, when he finished the sails started to work again and Arctic was relieved. But not for long though when he looked straight ahead a huge wave appeared and he holds on tight and not to let go or overboard the raft. Then suddenly he encountered the first wave, the raft goes up and reach to the top and then down fast it goes and then he encountered another one but this time he begin to lose his grip and then a few big splashes to his face and blinds him and then he encountered another one and this time the wave struck the raft and into the sea. Arctic floats deep down into the dark part of the ocean and then suddenly a light appeared and it gets bigger when he gets closer and he is left in the air of a room, where he safely lands on the floor. When he woke up he looks around and he sees a certain alicorn. He gets up on his legs as he walks over.

"My friend... I cannot shake the feeling something terrible is about to transpire" said the Alicorn when she stopped thinking and opened her eyes and looked at Arctic and he seems a little confused on what she is saying.

"Huh...what is it?" he asked.

Mark of Mastery

The next day in the throne room of the Land of Exodus, Firarra and Nightcrest stand preparing for the exam. Wayward Wind stands off to the side. Wayward looks up at an old pony standing in the left side of the throne. The old stallion looks back at her. Wayward looks down at the floor, and then straightens up. A dark green Alicorn named Master Zyra, who was sitting on her throne, stands and walks over in front Firarra and Nightcrest "Today you will be examined for the Mark of Mastery. Not one but two of the Keyblade's chosen stand here as candidates...but this is neither a competition nor a battle for supremacy not a test of wills, but a test of heart. Both of you may prevail, or neither. But I am sure our guest; Master Xora...did not travel all this way to see our youngest prospects in years fall short of the Mark. I trust you are ready."

"Yes" replied Firarra and Nightcrest.

"Then let the examination begin" said Master Zyra lifts her Keyblade and summons five orbs of light. Firarra and Nightcrest ready themselves for a fight. Master Xora moves his hoof and the orbs of light are suddenly surrounded with darkness and begin acting erratically. They were in shock to see and Master Xora smiles as Firarra and Nightcrest charge in to take care of them. One of the orbs goes after Wayward.

"Wayward!" shouted Firarra and Nightcrest.

Wayward summons her Keyblade and jumps in the air and swing her keyblade and disposes of it.

"Don't worry about me. You two focus on the exam!"

"But Wayward, you're in danger here! You need to get out of here" Nightcrest warned Wayward to get to safety, but she wouldn't because she was waiting for this moment to come, seeing her friends become masters.

"No way! I've been looking forward to this, seeing you two become Masters. I'm not gonna miss it now!

"She can take care of herself Nightcrest. She's been out there training just as hard as us" said Firarra.

"Yeah!"

"Stay sharp, okay" said Nightcrest.

Wayward, Firarra and Nightcrest began to battle the orbs of light using their combos and their magic against it. Few of the orbs attack and did a bit of damage to the three ponies by lightning shock on them and charge at them.

After the orbs are defeated everyone returns to their locations "That was unexpected...but one must keep a still heart even in the most trying of circumstances. It was an excellent trial, one I chose to let to unfold. Which brings us to your next task?" said Master Zyra as Firarra and Nightcrest proceed to the center of the room, facing each other with their Keyblades drawn "Now, Firarra and Nightcrest, the two of you will face each other in combat. Remember, there are no winners only truths, for when equal powers clash, their nature is revealed. Begin!" then Firarra and Nightcrest begin to spar. Firarra goes after Nightcrest with heavy hits, but she dodges every one. Nightcrest attacks and nearly hits Firarra, but it misses. Firarra holds his hoof out at his side, and it begins to be covered in flames, Firarra notices and quickly suppresses it. Nightcrest attacks and Firarra blocks it. Master Xora, standing on the left side of the throne, smiles.

After the exam Master Xora stands next to Master Zyra in front of Firarra and Nightcrest.

"We have deliberated and reached a decision. Firarra, Nightcrest, you both performed commendably. However, only Nightcrest has shown the Mark of Mastery."

Nightcrest gasped and Firarra was shocked.

"Firarra, you failed to keep the firing flames within you sufficiently in check. But, there is always next time. That is all. Nightcrest, as our newest Keyblade Master, you are entitled to certain knowledge. Please wait here for further instruction."

Master Xora and Master Zyra walk away leaving the three in the throne room and Firarra looked really depressed, so does Nightcrest as she looked at him.

"Hey" said Nightcrest.

Wayward runs over to them "Firarra, I'm so sorry."

"The flames...Where did it come from?" he wondered.

As Master Xora walks down the stairs and stops at a young female Black Unicorn pony with a black and white suit leaning against the wall "What do you make of Wayward?" asked Master Xora.

"She ain't gonna cut it. Someponies gotta rip that sucker in" said the Black Pony.

"Not here, you won't. I have to keep up appearances."

Xora walks off and the Black Pony stands on her four legs.

"I know that. She just needs a little incentive to leave home."

The Black Pony follows Master Xora along the hallway. Back upstairs.

"Firarra?" asked Nightcrest.

"Sorry...I need some time alone." said Firarra as he walked off.

Firarra's Story Part 1

Firarra sits on bottom of the steps outside the castle and think about what happened to him and how the flames got into him "There's fire within me...So what does that matter? I know I'm strong enough to hold it back" Firarra thought.

"Yes...you are indeed strong" a voice was heard from behind while Firarra stands and turns around to see Master Xora at the top of the stairs.

"The flames are nothing to fear. And yet...how frustrating that Zyra refutes its power. Why, you could train with her forever and still...you'd never be a Master in her eyes" said Master Xora while he was walking down the stairs and head towards Firarra which he was depressed about what he's saying.

"But why? Help me to understand. What is it that I have failed to learn?" Firarra asked.

"You are fine as you are. Flames cannot be destroyed. It can only be channeled" Xora answered.

"Yes. Thanks, Master" said Firarra as he heard the bells begin to go off he looks around and then runs up the stairs to the castle doors. Master Xora walks across the forecourt and dark aura surrounds him and disappeared. Firarra runs to the throne room and up to Nightcrest who is already there and not Wayward "What happened?" he asked as he went next to Nightcrest.

"I don't know. Why isn't Wayward here?" Nightcrest wondered.

Master Zyra stands before a shimmering light "Very well then, I will send my pupils to inspect" There is a silence as Master Zyra listens "Yes, I understand. Farewell" she said as she approaches to Firarra and Nightcrest "That was my dear twin sister Aris. As you know, she is Master no more...but her counsel serves as signposts on the road we wielders of the Keyblade must walk. Not only from the forces of darkness, as you may assume...but also from a new threat, one that feeds on negativity. Fledgling emotions that have taken monster form Aris calls them the "Flayers." As wielders, you are tasked with striking down any who would upset the balance of light and darkness. The Flayers are no exception. I tried to pass this news on to Xora, but my repeated attempts to reach him have failed. I doubt there is any connection, and yet...This all troubles me."

"Master Xora is gone?" Firarra was shocked when Zyra said that.

"So indeed. I need you two to get this situation done. Eliminate the demons, and find Master Xora. I have opened the Orbit's Between. You may use these pathways to travel between this world and countless others. The darkness looms closer than usual within these spaces, but your guard armor will protect you. Lastly, remember that order must be kept. You cannot tell anypony there are other worlds. Now go, and fulfill your duty."

"Yes, Master" said Firarra and Nightcrest.

Firarra turns to leave. But..."Firarra. Consider this is an opportunity. A second chance for you to change my mind. You must know, I care for you like my own son. If I could have my way, I would name you Master in a second."

"What! Why?" said Firarra as Master Zyra walks over to Firarra.

"But, how can I, when you are so obsessed with magic? Firarra, you must not be afraid of failing. Fear leads to obsession with power, and obsession beckons the darkness." Master Zyra puts her hoof on Firarra's shoulder "You must not forget." Master Zyra removes her hoof from Firarra's shoulder. Firarra lightly bows.

"I understood. I swear...I will not fail you again" said Firarra as he turns and leaves

Meanwhile outside the forecourt Firarra stepped outside the castle to begin his journey.

"Firarra wait!" he heard a loud shout coming from the stairs and it was Wayward is running down the stairs in front of the castle to reach Firarra as he turns around as Wayward reaches him and breathing heavily.

"I...I..." as she began to speak Firarra pats her on the head.

"It's fine"said Firarra shaking his head then turns around and hits one of the guard bracelets on his two arms to summon his armor and Keyblade. He holds his Keyblade up and fires a beam of light into the sky where it opens a portal to the Orbit's Between. He then tosses his Keyblade into the air where it transforms into his Keyblade Glider.

"Wow" said Wayward in an amazement mood.

Firarra jumps onto it when it comes back down, circles around and shoots up toward the portal. Leaving Wayward standing in the forecourt and riding up and into the portal.

[....] (Here the link music of the Orbit's Between.)

Sleeping Beauty

At a peaceful lakeside a portal appears, Firarra coming through it in his armor as he arrived at his first location when he went through the light that he spotted while travelling through space. He releases his armor in a flash of light while walking to the water's side. He hears something and turns around, summoning his Keyblade. He sees a yellow jittery thing "Those things?" The ones that Master mentioned these are the Flayers!" said Firarra as more Flayers appeared and he began to fight them.

When Firarra did a lot of battling the Flayers he looks around and none are insight to attack him or anywhere else. But there was one is remaining and began to escape from him "Hey stop right there" he started to chase is.

A few moments of chasing along the rocky paths the Flayer is headed across a bridge, but Firarra destroys it before it can get too far. Firarra looks up at the castle in front of him. He then spots a woman stand on the bridge ahead of him and approaches her. "Well, well...Why aren't you asleep, unbound creature? That witch Flora cast a spell to put everyone in this kingdom into a huge slumber."

"Who are you? What do you want?" Firarra asked.

"I am Maleficent...as all who dwell in this castle would know. Now you must reciprocate the introduction. Who are you?" Maleficent asked in a specific way.

"I'm Firarra. I want to know about those monsters, the ones who attacked me?" said Firarra.

"Hmph. Now why would I give a thought to creatures so base...so insignificant?"

"Tell me more, what was he doing there?"

"I don't say...I can only be concerned he was not from this kingdom. If you're curious, go see the castle for yourself. The entrance is past the bridge."

"Thanks" Firarra runs towards the entrance of the castle.

"Perhaps it did speak, about imprisoning 'the light'" said Maleficent as Firarra stops, turns and listens.

"'The light' could be so many things. Could he have mean't by the name Princess Aurora?" she asked.

Firarra begins running towards the castle entrance again as Maleficent disappears in green fire. When he got to there, there was a barrier protects a door at the end of the hall "What?" He jumps back and points his Keyblade towards the door. A beam of light shoots from the Keyblade and unlocks the barrier giving Firarra access to the room. Firarra enters the room and sees a girl, the Princess Aurora, lying asleep. "Huh, This feels so familiar..." as he was interrupted by Maleficent, which she was behind him and he turns around and saw her.

"Her heart is filled with light, not the slightest touch of darkness. Just the kind of heart that I need to claim my purpose."

"For what?" he asked.

"The most glorious of futures... each and every heart is overflowing with light. When brought together, they grant the power to rule what it's rightfully theirs."

"What do you mean by that and why?" said Firarra as he summons his Keyblade against her.

"Why, that key you hold...The Keyblade, is it called?" said Maleficent pointing out the Keyblade and Firarra was shocked about her knowing that name.

"What! Where did you learn that name?" Firarra asked.

"That trinket is the only way to obtain the hearts."

"No more games. Where is Master Xora?" Firarra began to lose his fuse and brought his anger into hatred.

"Impudence will get you nowhere, horse. If you wish to learn more, you must retrieve the heart of Aurora"

"And why would I do that?" he asked.

"It's not a matter of "why," but of will. In your heart, there is darkness just waiting to be awakened" Maleficent runs her hand over the jewel on her staff, surrounding Firarra with a green aura.

"Uh I don't know what you're talking about?"

"Perhaps not yet...But I have power over sleep. And I can awaken what's inside you...Then you will be free to be who you truly are"

Flashback

"Remember that darkness in the heart. Darkness is our enemy. Would that we could be rid of it. You must destroy it. Push it down give it no quarter" said Master Zyra.

Flashback Ends

Firarra bows over and then raises, his eyes glazed over. He hold his Keyblade over the sleeping Aurora and unlocks her heart. Aurora's extracted heart floats to Maleficent...

"Here it is...Just what I've waited for" Aurora's heart is surrounded with Maleficent's green flames. Firarra's eyes return to normal and he begins to wake up, his Keyblade having been released. "To think that all he spoke of was and will be true" she raises Aurora's heart.

"What? How did I! What have I done? What have you done?"

"You speak as if I pulled some invisible strings. No, you couldn't be further from the truth, horse. I simply whispered to the darkness you already held inside"

"Why did I do this?" Firarra thought to his guilty conscience. He bends over and steadies himself by putting his hooves on the edge of Aurora's bed. The sleeping Aurora shifts to an image of a sleeping Wayward.

"Wayward?" The image fades back to Aurora.

"Yes...Now, you want to know where Xora went. Well, that I cannot answer to your question. He disappeared into the darkness. But now I know the Keyblade is used to gather hearts" She stretches a hand out towards Firarra. "Join me. Collect six more lights. Then we will rule together."

"You seem to be mixed up, I'm a conscientious objector, not a tormentor!" said Firarra as hee summons his Keyblade. The castle begins to rumble "uh what?"

"Hmm...For a conscientious objector like you are off to a poor start. Remember this, the nightmare in your heart cannot be held back by force or strength. Now...my work here is done, as is yours. Wasn't there someone you needed to cut the chase?" Maleficent begins to fade away through her green fire. Firarra begins to attack her but it's too late, she's already gone and she laughs as the castle rumbles again.

"The Flayers...They're going to bring the castle down. I have to stop them!" He runs out of Aurora's chamber.

After the Flayers are defeated, Firarra returns to Aurora's chamber and thought of the circumstances "It's my fault her light was stolen. It was because I was weak...I'm sorry. I'll get your light back. But once I learn to stand up against the darkness. Why would Master Xora imprison the light? The purest hearts of light--do they hold the answer?

In a high tower of the castle "pure hearts, each completely void of darkness...Such a search may take some time to complete" she fades with her green fire.

Snow White and the seven Dwarfs

In a dark chamber the Queen approaches a mirror. She waves her arms around "Mirror, Mirror on the wall who is the fairest one of all?" asked the Queen and then the spirit of the mirror speaks the answer to her question.

"Famed is thy beauty, Majesty, but hold a lovely maid I see. Alas, she is more fair than thee."

"Reveal her name" she requested.

"Lips red as the rose, hair black as ebony, skin white as snow"

"Snow White!" she exclaimed.

We see Firarra hiding behind a pillar along the wall "A mirror that knows and sees everything."

"Who goes there?" the Queen shouted and Firarra comes out of hiding.

"My name is Firarra. I'm looking for a old stallion named Xora...Master Xora. I thought maybe you might have seen him?"

"That name does not concern me" she answered as he turns to leave.

"Wait...I have a task for you. if you succeed, I will ask the mirror where you might find this Master Xora"

"And the mirror will know" Firarra interrupted.

"Do you dare to question me?" said the Queen.

"What are the demands"

The Queen starts to chuckle and give him the orders that she seeks "There is a young maid who resides in this castle. Her name is Snow White. Destroy her. And to make sure you do not fail, bring back her heart...in this." The Queen hands Firarra a box with a heart with a dagger through it for the lock.

"Her heart? I don't get it. You're one of them, too?" Firarra asked.

"What I demand is her life. I have had more than enough of her power. Now, heed my words. My luminosity is all the light this kingdom needs"

"Where can I find her?" Firarra asked again.

"Outside the castle, there is a dell of wildflowers. Dismissed. Go now and seek her there."

"This Snow White is my best chance right now. Maybe she will lead me closer to Master Xora. But what if I..." He noticed about what happened with Aurora "No, I will not let that happen." He began to leave the room.

Outside the castle in the glade of wildflowers Snow White is picking flowers "I wonder if that is her or not?" Snow White is humming while picking flowers when Firarra approaches her.

"Oh, why hello. Who are you?"

"Aren't you a little startled?" he asked.

"Should I be?" she answered.

"So it's true, then. Her heart. She's the one" he thought.

"Is something wrong?"

"No...sorry. I wanna ask that. Does the name Xora mean anything to you?" he asked.

"Why, no. I don't think I've ever heard that name."

Suddenly Flayers has shown up and Firarra summons his Keyblade. Snow White screams and runs towards the woods "wait! Don't go in there alone!" Flayers stop him from following her "you better move it or else."

When Firarra defeat the Flayers he noticed that Snow White has gone and she is nowhere to be seen "She's gone. She said she doesn't know anything about Master Xora. That leaves me with just one other option. The mirror...back at the castle."

Firarra returns to the room the Queen is in "How dare you return here, you blundering mule?" said the Queen

"What are you talking about?"

"I ordered you to bring me her heart!"

"A request I chose not to be fulfilled. You know, you claim to be luminosity, but all I see are shadows of hatred and lies" said Firarra.

"You will suffer for such insolence! Mirror on the wall, consume this fool, once and for all into deepest darkness!"

Then the mirror choose to speak "Alas my liege, that I cannot do. I have no power save answers true."

"You dare disobey your Queen?" We hear glass shatter. The Queen has smashed a potion on the mirror. The mirror begins to shine bright. Firarra is transported into the mirror.

The Queen looks into the mirror. It begins to shine again after Firarra battled that big mirror mask and he is transported back into the room with the Queen "How did you escape?" she asked and Firarra released his Keyblade.

"Now, you will ask the mirror. Where can I find Master Xora?"

"Magic Mirror, instruct this knave! Give him the answers he desires."

"Beyond both light and dark it dwells, where a battle was waged upon."

"That all" he asked and the mirror went silent "understood. Thanks for the help." Firarra then leaves the castle and on to his new location.

Cinderella

Cinderella is crying on a bench in a clearing, her dress has been torn and ripped apart by her horrible stepmother and her terrible ugly stepsisters. Then Firarra approaches to find out what's wrong "Hey, ma'am? Is something wrong?"

"It's just that my friends made me this beautiful dress but my stepmother and stepsisters ruined it. And I was so looking forward to the ball" said Cinderella as she continues to cry and let all the tears out of her and Firarra looks suspicious.

"The nightmare always finds a way into a wounded heart. You have to be strong. Strength of heart will carry you through the hardest trials."

"But I..." when Cinderella was about to say her sentence it was interrupted when the Flayers has shown up and Firarra summons his Keyblade while she rans off and clear out the battlefield.

After that she is still crying unaware that Firarra just fought off the Flayers "I don't believe...not anymore..." then suddenly mist appears and a voice is heard from the distance above "Strength is important, but that's not all you need" said the voice.

"There's nothing left to believe in" said Cinderella

"Nothing? Oh, now, you don't really mean by that." The Fairy Godmother forms from the mist "If you'd lost all your faith, I couldn't be here, and here I am. Oh, come now, dry those tears. You can't go to the ball looking like that."

"The ball? But I can't..." Cinderella looks down with a depression emotion on her face.

"Nonsense, my dear. Of course you are. But we'll have to hurry. Now, here we go...Bibbidi-Bobbidi-boo!"

Magic sparks fly from the end of her wand to a pumpkin that rolls across the clearing, she waves her wand a few more times and the pumpkin enlarges and turns into a horse drawn carriage. Cinderella and Firarra walk over to the carriage. The Fairy Godmother waves her wand again and Cinderella’s ripped and torn dress turns into a beautiful ball gown.

"Oh my...this dress is beautiful and it's a dream come true!" said Cinderella, she began to turn her frown upside down.

"Yes, but like all dreams...I'm afraid this can't last forever. You'll have only till midnight, and then, on the stroke of twelve, the magic will wear off, and everything will be back to the way it was" The Fairy Godmother warns Cinderella about the magic that she is wearing that it will go out at midnight.

"I understand" said Cinderella, then she hugs the Fairy Godmother and then rides off in the carriage.

"Her heart is exactly the same like the others. Why didn't I see that? What did you do? I can hardly tell she's the same one."

"What's your name, little pony?" she asked.

"My name's Firarra" he answered

"Yes, of course. But sometimes just believing is easier said than done. Cinderella believes her dreams can come true. I wanted her to see that she is right."

"So that's what made her shine. Faith of her heart that anything is possible. But where did she go?" Firarra asked.

"To the royal ball at the palace. Go. And when you see her dancing...you'll know that she believes, and that will help you to believe, too."

"Okay, thanks" he went off to the royal ball at the palace where Cinderella will go.

At the Palace doors Cinderella is under attack by Flayers.

"You've got to be kidding me" he complains as he summons his Keyblade and takes out the Unversed threatening Cinderella.

"I'll take care of them. You wait right here."

"Please, may I go with you? I so want to get to the ball" Cinderella refuses to wait and she was desperate to go to the ball.

"All right. But stay behind me, or you'll get hurt. You're not worried?" he asked.

"Didn't you tell me it was important to stay strong?" she answered.

"Oh...I guess I did." Firarra said in a confused way and make Cinderella laugh "you're ready for this?"

"Yes" she said.

They enter the palace and make their way to the ballroom.

Later on after protecting the princess and defeating so many Flayers they enter the palace and make their way to the ballroom.

Firarra and Cinderella enter the ballroom.

"Oh, thank you...umm..." she forgot his name.

"Firarra, ma'am"

"Thank you, Firarra"

Firarra lightly bows and gestures for Cinderella to proceed. The Prince meets Cinderella, they bow to each other and begin dancing.

"Maybe just believing is enough" said Firarra and then the stepmother and the stepsisters saw a girl with beautiful dress and the prince was with her and they began to grow their jealousy.

"Who is she, Mother?" asked Anastasia.

"Do we recognize her. I've never seen her before" asked Drizella

"Nor I. But she certainly is. Wait! there is something familiar about her..." said the stepmother.

Firarra chuckles and goes to leave, but sees Flayers on a balcony overlooking the ballroom.

"Flayers! Tell me. How do I get up there?" asked Firarra.

"Well, there is a passage beneath the foyer staircase" said the Grand Duke.

"Got it" Firarra runs towards the foyer.

Firarra looks around the balcony. A large Flayer appears in the ballroom. It summons instrument Flayers to help it. They begin playing music that causes an explosion of energy where Firarra is standing. Firarra disappears, seemingly destroyed "down here!"

"Guards! Guards! Ooh, where could they possibly be?" said the Grand Duke acting all panicky.

"I'll handle this" everyone but Firarra leaves the ballroom.

After Firarra defeated that big Flayer that summons instrument Flayers to help fight against Firarra the Grand Duke thanks him for saving the royal ball and the others.

"Thank you. You saved us all. The guests were just starting to enjoy themselves..."

"Well don't give up just yet" said Firarra as they see the Prince and Cinderella talking.

"Tell me something. Have you always had a problem around here with those monsters?" Firarra asked and the Grand Duke seems worried and he tells about what happend before the monsters came "no. I believe...they began to appear shortly after a black pony in a dark suit arrived in our kingdom. Those that saw her said the monsters obeyed her every command.

"A black pony in a dark suit? Do you know where it is now?"

"Well...I don't believe anyone has seen it since then."

"I see"

The clock bell begins to ring and it shows that it is 12:00 midnight on the dot and Cinderella was shocked as she saw the clock "Oh...my goodness! Midnight" she let got of the Prince and ran off.

"Yes, it is, but why..." said the Prince.

"Good-bye!" she said and she ran out of the ballroom and left the palace "I'm sorry." Cinderella is running down the palace staircase. Her glass slipper falls off. She turns around to go back for it, but the Grand Duke picked it up as he called for her but she turns again and continuing running.

"Wait!" he cried, as he chases after her. Firarra walks out onto the top of the stairs to see what happened, and he spots Nightcrest at the bottom of the stairs.

"Nightcrest" he called and Nightcrest looked up and notice Firarra was here.

"Firarra, you're here."

Firarra makes his way down the stairs.

"Firarra...Wayward ran away from home and she went missing"

"What!"

"I think she left to go find you. Do you have any idea why?" she asked.

"No...Uhh actually...Just before I left, she tried to tell me something. I should have listened to what she had to say" said Firarra.

"Did you manage to locate Master Xora" she asked.

"No I didn't. All I can tell you is that his search hasn't taken him here."

"All right. I'll stay and see if I can find more clues."

"Okay. The Prince is in the ballroom ahead. He might have some answers for you" when Firarra is about to leave he forgot to ask her one question "Nightcrest. You still have the same dream?"

"Well...yes" she answered and yes she still has the same dream.

"There's this girl here, her name is Cinderella. She made me realize how strong it is just to believe. If you see her, tell her I said thanks."

Nightcrest nods in agreement "will do."

Firarra turns to leave and think about what is the black pony in the dark suit is up to "The black pony in the dark suit who was leading the Unversed...Who is that guy? Does it have anything to do with Master Xora's disappearance? Master Zyra said it first received word of these events from Aris. Maybe it's time I went and spoke with him myself once and for all."

Firarra's Story Part 2

The New Calling

We see an overhang in a mysterious area. There are two stallions talking. One is Master Xora, the other is a mysterious sandy brown pony. After hearing something he likes the sandy brown pony smiles and then turns to leave.

The Mystic Tower

Meanwhile Firarra's walking up at the Mystic Tower when he sees a young Cerulean blue Unicorn name Arctic coming out of the door. He has a Keyblade. He pulls out a mysterious item that begins glowing and holds it up and said the magic words "Alicazeel!" He begins to glow and then takes off in an irregular flight pattern and disappears into the sky as Firarra then enters the tower.

Firarra enters a room and straightens up with his arms by his sides "Master Aris."

Aris stops looking out a window and turns around.

"My name is Firarra."

"Yes. My sister's student. I've been expecting you. It is the Flayers that you've been worried about" said Aris as she sits down at her desk.

"Yes, Master Aris. I thought it best to seek out the counsel of one wiser than myself."

"I am Master no more. I doffed that mantle." she said.

"But ma’am, there was a young pony that passed on the way in? He had a Keyblade..." Aris stopped Firarra and what she mentioned the Cerulean blue pony with a Keyblade was Arctic and she began to tell Firarra all about him. "You refer to Arctic. He, too, sought guidance here. As my pupil, he is kind and helpful. He left with an object whose power he understand and know how to control. Arctic's Port Emerald will be of help in his current journey."

"I'm not sure I even understand what's happening. Master Xora is missing...And I also noticed there's a mysterious black pony in a dark suit who is controlling those 'Flayers'" said Firarra.

"To be honest, perhaps you should approach things differently first consider them one and the same problem."

"Master Xora and the Flayers are connected for some reason?" he asked.

"I must not make such assumptions...Find Xora. That is where you should begin" she ordered.

"Yes, ma’am. Understood." Firarra turns and leaves the room and exits the tower, summoning his armor and sent off to the Orbit's Between. Firarra's travelling through the Orbit's Between when suddenly he heard a familiar voice.

"Firarra" Xora's voice was heard from Firarra's ears.

"Master Xora" he shouted.

"Firarra, come see me at once" he demand as Firarra flies off.

In a cloudy sky a portal from the Orbit's Between opens and Firarra comes through it and flies down to the Desert lands. He looks around and finds Master Xora standing on the edge of a cliff.

"Master Xora..." Firarra lands near Master Xora and releases his armor and Keyblade Glider "I have been to other places. I know all about the things you've did. I Just don't get it."

Xora looks down and closed his eyes while he's thinking and said "Something had to safeguard the light...from the nightmare I unleashed. You must know about the black pony by now, the one in the suit. Her name is Vorion. A creature of pure darkness. One of my making." he starts to make a fist out of his hoof.

"Vorion...Are you telling me she came from you?" he asked.

"She came from Wayward."

"Wayward?!" shocked Firarra.

"Yes. Vorion is the darkness that was inside your friend" then Firarra began to gasp in horror when he heard that terror to that thing has happened to his friend "It was an accident. While training with me, Wayward succumbed to darkness, and there was but one way to save her, strip that part of her away. And thus Vorion was made. In the process, I damaged Wayward's heart in the most horrific way. So I did what I felt was right, and left her with Zyra. I knew the girl could not stay with me, the stallion who did her such grievous harm."

"Master Xora...Wayward has gotten a lot better since then. You shouldn't blame yourself for trying to save her" said Firarra trying not to blame to Xora for what he did.

"Well...Thank you, my friend. You know how to put an old mare's heart at ease" smiled Xora.

"So that's what it was" he thought.

Flashback

Firarra and Nightcrest are training in the throne room of the Land of Exodus. They hear the castle doors open and walk over to see who it is. It's an old stallion and an Orange Earth Pony. The old stallion approaches Master Zyra, talks with her, and then the two walk away to have a private chat leaving the Earth Pony in the foyer.

"That girl, is she okay?" asked Nightcrest.

"I don’t know, I'll go see" Firarra walks down the stairs and approaches the Earth Pony "I'm Firarra. What's your name?"

Then the Earth Pony began to speak "Wayward Wind."

"Whew, you can talk! Nightcrest, c'mere" Nightcrest flies down from the balcony.

"Hi, I'm Nightcrest."

"Firarra...Nightcrest..." said Wayward look so weak and confused.

"So, are you here to train with us? Where are you from? Who was that stallion with you? You good with a Keyblade?" after so many questions that she has given from Firarra, she began to groan louder and suddenly she falls to the ground holding her head screaming and crying. Firarra and Nightcrest was shock when they saw her suffering.

"Whoa, what's the matter?"

"Are you okay?"

Suddenly Master Zyra and Xora came by.

"What did you do to her?" Zyra asked.

"Nothing, I, I just asked her some stuff" Firarra answered while Xora gets down to comfort Wayward.

"Wayward Wind cannot tell you anything...because she cannot remember anything."

Flashback Ends

In the Desert lands, Firarra still stands with Master Xora.

"Master...Why is Vorion still invading the sights?" Firarra asked as Xora turns around and look to his eyes.

"Well, I did my best to contain her the moment she emerged, but..."

"She managed to escape."

"Vorion uses the Keyblade to sow seeds of darkness. And now, you see the worlds teem with her ghastly underlings."

"The Flayers, that explains everything" Firarra gasped in horror.

"She has no control over the darkness in her heart. The Keyblade is not her to bear. She's an abomination beyond hope of salvation. Lend me your strength, Firarra. Right this wrong that I have wrought."

"But I have no idea where to find her."

"What I can tell you about Vorion amounts to this--her darkness is drawn to the light, which she seeks to disrupt...and then destroy." We see a few flashes concerning Nightcrest and Wayward.

"It stands to reason that she will strike next in the city of light, Ponyville."

"Got it. Don't worry, Master. I'll take care of Vorion" Firarra then took off and entered the portal on it's way to Ponyville.

Ponyville

We see Wayward running through the Town. Firarra comes from the entrance of Town. He looks around and sees Granny Smith walking into town. Firarra proceeds to the central area of the square when...

"Flayers" Firarra summons his Keyblade "This can only mean Master Xora was right."

After Firarra finishes off the Flayers we see Master Xora walk through the square behind Firarra. Firarra turns around and sees Xora walking into town "what's Master Xora doing here? Maybe he found something out" he starts to follow him and then a few blocks later he was gone and nowhere to be seen when he saw Zecora appears in a puff of smoke.

"Oh, why can't I ever seem to remember this address exactly?" said Zecora. Firarra looks on and sees her left a book behind, he picked the book up by using his magic with his horn and it says 'The Book of Enchantment' he looks at it and notice that it was important to her and he saw her stop walking and look around. Firarra then walks towards her and said "Excuse me, ma'am." Zecora turns around as Firarra holds out her book "I believe you dropped this." he handed it back to Zecora and placed it into her bag as she said "did I?" that was the only question that she have to say "Ohh, I'm very flattered to say this isn't one of mine...but what a remarkable book it is. This unassuming volume seems to have the unusual effect of awakening one's innermost abilities."

"A book that makes some pony stronger? If it's all right, for me, might to take a closer look?" Firarra asked very nicely and Zecora nodded yes and she politely let Firarra used his magic to lift the book out of the bag and took a closer look at the single pages and as of now the book began to glow and he is glowing as well and all the sudden he began strong and it was increase by the book "The name is Zecora! I'll have you know a lot of wisdom comes with age. Anyway, as I said, the book is not mine, but I'd be happy to keep it with me for you."

"Thank you, Zecora" Firrara then says goodbye to her and then walk away and Zecora does the same. As Firarra walks through the village a large Flayer passes by "this is not what I've expected" said to himself as the Flayer continues on into the next area of town. Firarra chases the Flayer through town and then reaches another area where he stops and looks for the Flayer. Nightcrest and Wayward come running up behind Firarra.

"Wayward" cried Firarra and Nightcrest.

"Firarra! Nightcrest!" All three summon their Keyblade's as three large Flayer appear and join together to create a giant Flayer.

A few moments of magic attack, combo moves and the Flayer attacks back and body parts been defeated they charge at the body as Nightcrest calls out for Firarra "Firarra!" and Firarra calls out for Wayward "Wayward! Now" and Wayward shouts back ready to end this "let's do this!" All three jump into the air. Nightcrest attacks first by flying and strike down the Flayer, followed by Firarra and Wayward attacking the giant together. The Flayer fades away.

"We got'em" said Firarra claiming their victory.

"We made a great team" smiled Nightcrest.

"Sure do. Oh yeah! I got you these tickets" Wayward pulls out three tickets that read 'Vena Town Passport' on their fronts.

"For what?" Firarra ask.

"Lifetime passes to Vena Town" Wayward gives one to both of them "She said to. She said to take two grown-ups."

"You mean us? asked Nightcrest as she and Firarra laughed "Listen to me, Wayward...We need to get you home."

"It's okay, Nightcrest. Trust me, that Black Pony in the black suit is history. She'll never bad-mouth Firarra again."

Firarra gasps and grabs Wayward's shoulder "You saw the Black Pony?"

"Uh, Y-yeah?" Wayward acts confused.

"Vorion...Wayward. You let Nightcrest take you home" Firarra demand her to let Nightcrest home but Wayward does not want to and she does not want to be abandoned by her own friends again "No way. Ah wanna go with you guys."

"You can't. We have a dangerous task ahead of us. I don't want you to get hurt."

"what is this dangerous task, Firarra? It doesn't sound like what the Master told you to do" Nightcrest asked while she raised an eyebrow.

"It might be a different route, but I'm fighting the flames that it is inside of me."

"I'm not so sure. I've been to the same places as you and I've seen what you've done. You shouldn't put yourself so close to it." Then Wayward starts to talk and she was shocked that Firarra would never do such a thing like that "Listen to yourself, Nightcrest. Firarra would never..."

"You mean you've been watching me? Is that what he said to do? The Master's orders?" Firarra talks angrily and for what he was doing that wasn't he heard what the Master has ordered from Nightcrest and she said "She was only..."

After a short silence Wayward began to speak "Nightcrest..."

"I get it, I understand now for all you have done Nightcrest. So be it" Firarra turns to leave.

"Firarra!" Firarra stops and looks back.

"Stay where you are! I'm on my own now, okay?" Firarra starts walking again but Nightcrest tries to tell him that the Master to distrust him "Firarra, please! Listen! The Master has no reason to distrust you, really! She was just worried." But the bad thing is that Firarra is ignoring for what she said and he was gone.

While walking back towards town "Master Xora is the only one I can still count on" then suddenly.

"You must be Firarra" said the sandy brown pony blocking Firarra's path "It's that old coot--he won't stop asking for you. I came all the way out here to get you just so he'd clam up."

"What do you mean by that?" Firarra asked.

"Do I have to spell it out for you? Xora, whatever he's called. You know, my prisoner" Firarra then chuckled to his words and he thinks it is absurd that nopony can prison Xora.

"You're apparently not a very good liar, Master Xora would never let himself be caught by a lowlife like you."

"As if! I've got the old coot at my mercy, see for yourself. I'm holding him underneath the Outer Streets. You better show up before I lose my patience. Later." The sandy brown pony turns and walks away.

"There's no way it's true but no harm in looking" Firarra continues his walk towards town.

Later on he walks out onto the Outer Streets. He looks around trying to find Master Xora. Firarra gasps and then turns around to see Master Xora tied up "Master Xora!"

Master Xora raises his head and looks at Firarra.

"The old coot certainly knows how to take punishment. Just like I know how to deal it out" said Dreg while he encounters with Firarra.

"You fiend! What are you after?" Firarra summons his Keyblade while he ask.

"That thing right there. It's called the Keyblade, isn't it? Yep, it seems like these days everypony's got one of those...even grandpa there. When I nabbed him, he told me all about it, what a weapon like that can do. How could I not want one?"

"Well, you'll find they're picky about their owners."

"Ha, if I heard the old guy right, you're what they call Keyblade Master material. So if I defeat you, that makes me the real keyslinger, if you catch my drift. Not the most polite way to go about it...but what can you do?"

Firarra starts to charge towards Dreg "Ah-ah, one more step and the coot goes boom. You think I'm gonna fight fair? As if! That key's too powerful for us to go mano a mano." Dreg fires magic at Firarra from his horn. Firarra blocks them but is knocked onto his back "Hmph. For a Keyblade Master, you're not very...what's the word...good?"

Firarra lifts himself up and then suddenly "What are you doing, Firarra? Fight!" he looked to Xora "But Master, you'll..."

"Never mind me! You must fight! You can't let this ruffian win. Think of your Master, Zyra--the shame she and your fellow pupils would be force to bear! Use the Keyblade."

Firarra stands up and focuses his power.

"Pfft, so much for the bluff" said Dreg as then they both fight once more.

Firarra raises his Keyblade and is surrounded in a flaming aura. He slings his Keyblade towards Ire and fires a flaming volley at him. The blast meets Ire’s face and knocks him over. Firarra then fires another one at close range which ricochets off Ire's face and hits the chains binding Master Xora. The chains fall releasing Master Xora. Ire stands up crippled. In pain andteleports a few times towards the entrance of the underground, fleeing.

"This magic..." Firarra looked at his hoof, it was covered with flaming aura and then it goes out.

"Well done, Firarra" said Xora while walking towards Firarra "You have taken yet another step forward."

"But I was consumed by anger...hatred. That was the power of fire."

"Flames that you channeled" said Xora when Firarra lowers and releases his Keyblade.

"No...I succumbed to it. Just like when I stole Princess Aurora's heart of light. I can never return home now. I'm a failure...and I'm afraid to do it."

"Then don't. You could be my pupil" Firarra gasps and looks up "Master Zyra, you see, is so afraid of fire, that she too, has succumbed, not to darkness, but to light. It shines so bright, she forgets that light begets darkness. And Nightcrest and Wayward Wind, they shine too bright. It is only natural that they cast shadows on your heart. It is because she fears you. Join me. You and I can do the worlds much greater good, by wielding light and darkness in equal shares."

"Master Xora..."

Master Xora shakes his head "See more places. Seek out the darkness that upsets the balance. Find Vorion. And bring an end to her... Master Firarra."

Firarra gasps, stands up straight and bows "understood" then Xora walks off leaving him to do his orders.

Meanwhile he enters out to the Outer Streets when..."Firarra!" was heard from behind.

Wayward comes running toward Firarra "Take me with you!"

"I can't do that, Wayward."

"Why, not?"

"I just...When I really need you, Wayward, I know you'll be there."

Wayward Wind smiles and laughs "Well, why wouldn't I? You're my friend."

"Yeah. You're right. Thanks, Wayward." Firarra taps the guard ring on his right shoulder for his armor to appear. He hops onto his Keyblade glider and flies off into a portal to the Orbit's Between.

Back at the Outer Streets, Xora stands staring into the open air until..."Hey, you old coot!" A laser aimed at Xora's back is reflected. Dreg fires more shots, while walking towards Xora, that all meet the same end "You said I wouldn't get hurt! I didn't sign up to be collateral damage!" Dreg gets closer to Xora's head "No way, as if!"

Xora summons his Keyblade at his side, aiming it up towards the Dreg's face. Dreg leans back, shocked "Okay! Okay, fine. Fine! Just...just put that down! You still need me! You still need me to do something, right? And all I'm asking is that you hold up your end of the bargain." Xora releases his Keyblade. Dreg is relieved and relaxes "Heh, I mean, what's a little damages and incidents which is on me, huh? All things considered. I'm just lucky he didn't steal my heart whatsoever."

"Unlikely. A powerful light still lives inside of Firarra. You see, others like him...they don't have the power to steal hearts.

"So you're telling me that...he's not the one who stole her heart?" Dreg ask as Xora smiles.

Vena Town

Firarra's walking through a field with balloons next to a dirt road. He stops and looks toward the road. He sees Flayers moving along it "Flayers!" Firarra summons his Keyblade and runs out onto the road. The Flayers are already down the road. Firarra releases his Keyblade "I'll take you on." Firarra goes to activate his armor, but...

"Look out!"

A guy in a costume driving a grey and black kart is racing toward Firarra. Firarra jumps out of the way and then stands up after landing. He looks over and sees a Pinkie-red fur mare named Mayor Rose and her two sons Charmy and Hue.

At the raceway entrance "Thanks for piping up back there. I mean it. The name's Firarra." he introduced.

"It's nice to meet you, Firarra" said Mayor Rose.

"What're you, crazy, running out onto the course like that?" shouted Hue.

"Yeah, that's against the rules" said Charmy glaring at Firarra like he tries to play against the rules.

"I'm sure you had your reasons, but I can't say that I approve either" said Mayor Rose.

"Well, rules don't apply when you're up against the Flayers" said Firarra.

"Rules don't apply!? You sound just like Dusky Dimmer" said Hue.

"Look, it's Captain Dim!" warned Charmy when he pointed out to his name as Firarra, Hue and Mayor Rose looked and stare at the mysterious stallion with a grey and white outfit.

"Deep in the dark, Disguised in power, the rogue racer reign!" He jumps off a bridge "I am...Captain Dim!" he starts walking toward the others "And you must be the chump who made me miss a new track record. Hold on...How come I don't know you? Somepony bringin' in a ringer?"

"What, no I'm not really a racer" said Firarra.

Captain Dim puts his arm around Firarra's neck "Must be downright temptations to try and stop a primo racer like me from gettin' the record. But we all gotta play by the rules, player." Captain Dim turns and starts walking away.

"Now just a minute! You're the cheater who's always breakin' the rules!" shouted Hue as Firarra turns that racing isn't his thing but, fight that Flayer interest him the most "Guys, to be honest lately that, I can't say racing interests me, but I need to defeat the Flayers. Tell me what I've gotta do."

"Are you talking about all those race karts that look like scary, looking monsters?" asked Hue and Firarra shakes his head for "yes".

"Well, we've only ever seen the monsters on the track..." said Mayor Rose.

"That's it! Firarra, you just need to enter the race! And while you're at it, take that Captain Dim down a thing or two. He's always breakin' the rules and causing trouble" said Hue.

"I have to become a racer?" he asked.

"Now, I'm sure I don't have to tell you" said Mayor Rose.

"I know. I'll play by the rules."

Mayor Rose laughs happily.

"Yay, Firarra 's gonna be a new racer!" cheered Charmy.

After the race when Firarra used his Keyblade glider as a racing kart he drove round corners, tunnes and bumps. He tried to avoid the other racers attacks and took one of the Flayers out during the race and it turns out to be a good start for him when he got to the finish, Mayor Rose, Hue and Charmy cheered for him as Captain Dim begin to feel bad tempered.

"My kart must have sprung a spring! You fools just wait till next time, I'll be back!" He hops into his kart and races off.

"Yay! I hope he's gone for good. Noponies gonna vote for a low-life like you, Dusky Dimmer!" shouted Hue.

"Dusky Dimmer? Vote? What are you guys talking about?" asked Firarra and Mayor Rose talks about what Hue meant and said "Hue means the Million Stars Award, it's the most popular part of our Festival. Everypony in town votes for who we think is the most exemplary citizen."

"No votes, no prize!" said Charmy.

"Yeah, the prize is all he really wants anyway. He doesn't care about being a good pony." said Hue.

"Well, I think that's very depressing. The award is supposed to help us appreciate how much we all look out for each other every day"  said Mayor Rose saying in a down depression.

"Well, one thing I know for sure. I'm voting for Firarra! Your racing really saved the day against those monster karts!" said Hue and Charmy began to cheer for Firarra for his heroic efforts "Hip-hip hurray for Firarra!"

Firarra starts to laugh and blush a little "Well, I got something out of it, too. I learned that you don't always have to bend the rules to reach your goals." Mayor Rose begins to laugh happily too "All this time, I've been staring into the dark flames... But...that doesn't mean I have to jump in."

Vena Town - Million Stars Award

Firarra stands in front of a stage with the rest of the ponies in Vena Town and one of them chat about who is gonna win or not "Who do you think's gonna win this year's Million Stars Award?"

"I hope it's the guy I voted for!" said Hue.

"I voted for the guy, too!" said Charmy

Mayor Rose walked up to the stage and said "Hello, everypony, it's time to begin the main event of our Festival the Million Stars Award presentation. Oh this is very exciting for each and every one of you! This year we have multiple winners. The Million Stars Award goes to... Wayward Wind, Nightcrest, and Firarra. All three of you!"

Everypony cheers to Firarra "Are they here now!?" he wondered where his friends are.

"What do you mean!?" shouted Dusky Dimmer when he runs past Firarra and jumped onto the stage and encounters Mayor Rose "There's gotta be a mistake. Everypony voted for Captain Righteo. I made sure! Go on, tell her!" Dusky looks around as everyone remains silent "better try the other one..." he runs off the stage, and when he returns into a different outfit "The rogue racer, Captain Dim!"

Then suddenly everypony turns their backs to Dusky and Mayor Rose said to him angrily "Dusky Dimmer, we counted the votes very carefully. Wayward Wind, Nightcrest, and Firarra won. Oh, Dusky, I think you tried to do something good to the village, but you were doing it for the wrong ways. Still, a couple of ponies must have thought you had goodness and faith in you, because you actually got a few votes. They knew you were looking out for them."

"Big whoop! I don't need their lousy votes. Just cough up my prize!" Dusky reaches for Mayor Rose.

"Dusky Dimmer! They voted for you because they believe in you and care about you. How could you look down on that? I've tried to forgive a lot of things you've done, but this is too much. Now you've finally crossed the line." said Mayor Rose feeling a disappointment on her face.

"Like that matters to me. Besides, what are you gonna do about it?" asked Dusky Dimmer.

"I'm going to let you calm down for a while. Security!" The Mayor's security guards walk onto the stage, they all surround him and then hoof cuffed him and took him away "Hey! Let me go! What!? You can't...no...hey!"

"Now, shall we continue the ceremony? Would the three winners, Wayward Wind, Nightcrest, and Firarra, please come up and join me on the stage?" said Mayor Rose as Firarra walked up onto the stage and it appears that Wayward and Nightcrest didn't show up for the ceremony "Oh no, it looks like our other two winners couldn't make it here to be with us today."

"Yeah..." said Firarra.

"Perhaps you would accept the award on their behalf. After all, you've been so kind to so many here at the Festival. So now, I hereby present the Million Stars Award...as a token of our gratitude. Congratulations!"

Everypony cheers to Firarra and he starts to bow down to the crowd and said "Thanks everypony."

"As for an extra treat, we've giving you something special...an ice cream flavor just for you. Rockin' Roley Road ice cream!" Mayor Rose passes the Ice cream to Firarra and levitate it with his horn and then he heard everypony at the background cheering for him to try it out and see if it tastes any good. Firarra looks at Mayor Rose, she nods, and he takes a bite of the ice cream and then Mayor Rose asked "well, what do you think?"

When Firarra finish his first bite and he thought to himself this was tasty and then he made a good comment to the Mayor and said "Mmm! This is fantastic! One of the best ones I have ever tasted!"

"We are all very glad that you're enjoying it" smiled Mayor Rose.

Everypony cheers again.

Hercules

We see Herc fighting Flayers. He gets knocked down by one of them and suddenly Firarra rushes in to help him. He summons his Keyblade and took out the Flayers that Herc was defeated by. "You okay?" Firarra asked as Herc looks up and he sees a brown pony with a horn on his head holding out his hoof out to help him up.

"Yeah, thanks" Firarra helps him up by hoof by hand "Guess they were too much for me. I'm just gonna have to train a bit harder. You're pretty tough though, you really handled those things. Are you here to enter the Games?" asked Hercules and Firarra didn't realize about the games that Herc meant and he said "what games?"

"The "Games." To see who's strongest! One day I'm gonna win 'em all and become a true hero"

"Herc, where are ya? Front and center right now, or I'm tackin' on another 500 laps!"

"Uh-oh. Gotta go. The Coliseum's just up ahead.  I hope I get to see you fight sometimes!" said Herc as he left and head to the Coliseum.

"A competition... Hmm... I should find out how strong I really am" said Firarra.

Meanwhile Hades is walking out of the Coliseum's vestibule "Geez Louise, one chump after another. It's like a who's who of decathlon disasters around here. All I need is one measly warrior tough enough to give Zeus a jolt of his own medicine!" He looks to his left and sees a brown pony "Wait... Dark, moody, powerful. Yes! He's perfect."

"This is it" said Firarra when he arrived at the Coliseum.

"How sad is this" said Hades while Firarra heard him coming towards his distance "pains me to see it but, all that magic going to waste."

"Who are you?" Firarra asked with his head slide on the right with a confused face.

"Name is Hades, Lord of the Dead, god of the Underworld, blah blah blah, how ya doin'. Hey, lemme guess, you're trying to put the kibosh on the darkness inside you. Am I right? Of course I'm right. Well, anyway, bad idea."

"What, I don't get you?" confused Firarra.

"Okay, stay with me here, darkness is inside...everyone. Nothing to be scared of. You play cool with it, and darkness will be your best friend. But if you go and get all self-conscious and refuse to face it, then it will run over you like a debutante at a toga sale. And then where are you? Nowhere. Now me, I look at you and I see potential. That's right, little horse. You got the potential to conquer the darkness inside you. And I'll even give you some pointers. I mean, believe me, if anybody knows conquering, I know conquering."

"Well, hear me out. How do I conquer it?" asked Firarra.

"It's quite simple. You sign up for the Games. I know, I know. 'Please, Lord Hades, the Games?' But hey, you would be surprised what you can learn in the heat of battle. And don't worry. I'll be right there to guide you every step of the way. I'm kinda what you'd call an expert. Oh, decide fast. This is a limited-time offer."

Meanwhile Firarra heads over and entered inside and meets Hades in the Coliseum vestibule.

"When are you going to tell me how to conquer the darkness?" he asked.

"Hold your chariot hooves" Hades summons a quill and parchment "you would not believe the bureaucracy involved with these things. Name?"

"Firarra."

"Kinda earthy, but all right. Now...height and weight..." Hades glances over his shoulder then writes things down on the parchment "What's this? 'Favorite god'? (laugh) Pfft, come on. 'Hades.' There, ba-boom. Easy peasy" Hades sends the quill and parchment away with smoke "I sense that you're already starting to get warmed up with that darkness that it is inside you. And hey, by the time you win the final match here...you'll have figured out how to conquer it for good. And don't worry, anything goes wrong, I'll make it all go away."

"Understood."

Hades laughs and grins evilly as Firarra enters the Coliseum for the first matches which it was a bunch of flayers and he tries to defeat them while the time limit was active he starts charging at them at the first round using magic and did a few combos and activate it's commands and defeated them and finally he made it before the time runs out Firarra manage to complete the first round.

After eight more rounds have completed Firarra re-enters the Coliseum again.

"Okay...this is not what I had in mind. But hey, I can improvise. Time for plan beta..."

"Pardon me, comin' through. I'm gonna miss my match."

A young soldier walks past Hades.

"Hello, plan beta. Hey Kid!"

Zack turns around.

"Over here, c'mere."

Meanwhile Firarra waits in the Coliseum for his opponent "Once I've conquered the darkness in my heart...I'll never fear it again." His opponent enters the Coliseum, it's Zack. The two take fighting stances and they charge at one another. We hear clang clang by two swords hitting against each other, dodging and attack. Firarra use magic against him and Zack use his strong combos and hit Firarra.

After a few minutes of battle Firarra wins and Zack collapses, his helmet falling off when he does. Firarra turns to leave but Zack stands back up.

"Huh!?" as he turns to look at Zack and he is covered in dark aura and charges and attacks as Firarra blocks him with his Keyblade "What are you doing?! Stop i! The battle is over already!"

Zack is not listening to him he keeps attacking him.

"He was a pushover before. What's gotten into him?" he thought.

"It's not...me..."

"What?" Firarra noticed that he is been controlled.

"This is...not...what I'm doing"

But Firarra remembered of what happened with Aurora. Hades appear in a puff of smoke "Huh? So, what do ya think? You like my new super-warrior? See, right here, this--it's the power of darkness. Coulda been yours. Still could, if you open up to it."

Firarra looked at Hades and said "Hades! You were just using me! The darkness...will never take me!"

"Help me...You've gotta...save me from this possession..." begged Zack as Firarra tried his best not to permantly destroy him but the possession of darkness that he is targeting at was his only way to set him free.

After that Firarra defeats Zack again and manage to free his possession out. Zack falls. A crowd cheers and confetti falls from above. Firarra looks around and Hades look in disappointment "Forget it. It looks like I bet on the wrong dark horse. That pathetic horse doesn't have what it takes to handle darkness." Then Hades disappears.

Zack starts to move "are you okay? he asked as Zack looks straight at him.

"Yeah, I'm good. Thank you for saving me. Where is..." he looks around to find Hades but he wasn't there, he's gone for good.

"He's gone" Firarra said as Zack hits the ground with his bare fist.

"How could I let a guy like him control me? I'll never live it down."

Firarra reaches down to help Zack up "Thanks, um..."

"Names, Firarra."

"Thanks, Firarra. I'm Zack by the way." Zack takes a closer look at Firarra and bent down to his level "Hmm, Yup. Definitely. Firarra, you're exactly what I pictured a hero would be. Not the way you look... There's something else about you."

Firarra turns his back to Zack "Well, I'm no hero, honestly"

"You kidding? Listen to those cheers, man. You don't get to decide if you're a hero or not. They do. And they've already made up their mind. Whether you like it or not, you're their hero" said Zack as he gave Firarra a friendly tap on the back of his head.

"And mine, too. It's too bad. I really wanted to fight you fair and square."

Firarra gives Zack a friendly tap on his shoulder "Maybe someday, Zack." said Firarra as Zack began to laugh.

The Orbit's Between

Firarra's traveling through the Orbit's Between, looking at his crystal finder. He looks up and sees a swarm of Flayers ahead of him "all the way out here?" he charges at the swarm of Flayers by using his Keyblade Glider.

After Firarra defeats all the Flayers he sees an large island straight ahead of him and said "an island, I’d better check it out"

Peter Pan

Firarra arrives on a cliff and hears two men scream. They're being attacked by Flayers.

"What are they, Cap'n?" Smee asked.

"Back! you'll not get me treasure!" said Captain Hook.

Then Firarra showed up to help the two men by smashing the Flayers with his Keyblade swing, jump and dodge their attacks "you guys go, I'll handle this." said Firarra as the two men ran for safety and left Firarra do all the battling business.

After Firarra finishes off the Flayers, the two men return "If I'd desired your assistance, I'd have demanded it. We had the situation under control. Isn't that right, Smee?" said Hook.

"Oh yes, Cap'n. Completely. We would have cleaved those fiends to the brisket, we would. Why, I'd have given 'em a little of THIS and THIS and THAT!" said Smee.

"And don't think your efforts mean you'll get a share of me treasure. Understand?"

"I'm not after your precious box, Captain. I'm looking for a pony. A black one, wearing a dark suit. Ring any bells?" Firarra asked

"No, not a single one" said Hook.

"Beats me" said Firarra in disappointment.

"Come on Smee were off. We shall leave this place before the light draws 'em back again."

"Hold on. What did you just say about the light?" Firarra asked.

"It's heartbreaking really... This chest, you see, contains light gathered from all around. And I got and acquaintance--a guy--who's sure to try and seize it."

"A guy who's after the light...If it's not Vorion...then who? Hey, why don't I help you keep the light safe? Maybe you could tell me more about this guy who's troubling you. What's it's name?"

"Peter Pan. This chest must be brought to Skull Rock safely. Don't let Peter Pan anywhere near it!"

"Got it."

At Skull Rock.

"Well done" said Hook as Firarra begins to look around and Smee turned to Hook and said "pardon me, Cap'n...but it's about that emerald I was mentionin' to ye..."

"Mister Smee, I ordered ye to drop that. I'll not have ya gushin' on about some emerald."

"But Cap'n! Most emeralds shine for a bit 'n' then they go out. But this one, it kept on sparklin' and shinin' even after it crashed down. Why, what if it's really a big, enormous, priceless gemstone"

"Idiot! Why didn't you tell me?" he started shouting and he approaches Firarra "Ahem...we've a bit of business to attend to and must, I fear, step away. I trust you can see to things till I return..."

"Sure. When this guy Peter Pan gets here, I'll be waiting" said Firarra as Captain Hook and Smee leave. After they're gone Firarra is on the lookout for any trespassers coming here. But, above him there was Peter Pan with the two lost boys Slightly and Cubby.

"Shh! That old codfish...Looks like he's found himself a new flunky. I'll fly down and distract him. Men, you move in and nab the treasure!" said Peter Pan as He flies off above Firarra. Firarra spots him and summons his Keyblade.

"Are you Peter Pan?" Firarra ask to Peter.

"That's me!"

"The light is not yours to claim and what do you want it for anyway?"

"Light? What are you talking about?"

"Look, Pan! We got the chest!" said Slightly.

The two Lost Boys are walking off with the chest.

"No, not yet, you fools!"

"Hey, get back here!" Firarra take off after them. They start to run but Cubby trips and the chest falls to the ground and spills all of the treasure.

"That hurt!" cried Slightly.

"Uh...Sorry" cried Cubby.

"What's all this?" Firarra asked.

"Pirate treasure, of course. Jewels, doubloons, ya know, the usual" said Peter.

"You mean, all this time I've been guarding a pile of loot?"

"Sounds like you've been tricked."

Firarra turned to Peter Pan and said "I'll say. I owe you an apology. I picked a fight over nothing."

"Aw, it was all in good fun. Not everyday I get to fight such a good swordsman. Say, what's your name, anyway?"

"Firarra" he smiles.

"Right then, Firarra. Which way did Hook go?"

"They said something about an emerald..." Firarra explains.

"Emerald? Tinker Bell must be in danger! Men, guard that treasure with your lives!" Peter Pan flies off.

"Yes, sir!" saluted Cubby.

"I should get going to" Firarra walks out of Skull Rock.

As Firarra exits Skull Rock to leave the island the earth rumbles and he heard shouting and screaming coming from the Skull Rock, so he runs back to the entrance and finds the Lost Boys running from a swarm of Flayers "Unversed!" he shouted and one of the Flayers spins and knocks the chest away from the treasure. Firarra summons his Keyblade as the Lost Boys run past him "stay back."

After the battle Firarra was tired out after all the swarm of Flayers he fought and luckily the Lost Boys return.

"Boy, you sure cut that monster down to size!" said Slightly when Firarra puts one hoof onto his lips and said "shh" he heard someone coming.

"Ahoy! How fare ye, lad?" It was captain hook.

"Hook" said the Lost Boys.

Firarra turns around to them and said "go hide" as the boys go and run to hide.

"Fine. All's well" Firarra shouted as Captain Hook enters Skull Rock and approaches him.

"What is that?" he asked.

Captain Hook holds up a lantern with Tinker Bell inside "Tinker Bell. One of Peter Pan's dearest friends."

"Can I take a look?"

Captain Hook hands Firarra the lantern and turns his back to Firarra.

"So long as I have his precious pixie, Pan's demise is all but assured" Hook laughs evilly and when he looks up to see Tinker Bell floating in front of his face. She then kicks him in the nose, knocking him back "What's the meaning of this?"

"You know, I didn't give it that much thought. Just doing what my heart tells me to do" said Firarra.

"That's mutiny! And you'll walk the plank for it!"

Firarra summons his Keyblade. But, a ticking noise like a clock starts "that sound!" Captain Hook turns around to see a crocodile in the water, the ticking noise coming from it. Captain Hook takes off running.

"Hooray! We sure showed Hook this time!" cheered Slightly.

Firarra releases his Keyblade. and looks up as Tinker Bell flies around dropping pixie dust everywhere.

Flashback

The summit area of the Land of Exodus.

"That every star up there is another world" as Wayward and Nightcrest turned around and sees Firarra.

"Firarra" Nightcrest calls out.

"Yep, hard to believe there are so many are out there besides our own. The light is their magic, and it's shining down on us like a million candles."

"What? I don't get it" Wayward asked.

"In other words, they're just like you, Wayward." said Firarra when Wayward stands up and walk towards him.

"What does THAT mean?" she asked.

"You'll find out someday, I'm sure."

"I wanna know now."

It cuts to all three laughing.

Flashback Ends

Firarra watches the falling pixie dust.

"Aww, so much for the pirate treasures..." said Cubby.

"Yeah" said Slightly.

"Did you guys really want the jewels and gold that badly?" said Firarra as he walks to them.

"Nah, we don't care about that stuff" said Slightly

"Uh...but, uh, Pan was countin' on us" said Cubby.

"Tell you what, put the stuff that's really special to you in there. That can be your treasure" said Firarra.

"Yeah" said the Lost Boys.

"Real swell idea. Thanks" smiled Slightly.

The Lost Boys pick up the chest and leave Skull Rock.

"Kind of makes me wonder, what I'd put in there" he thought while looking up at the sparkling pixie dust.

Firarra's Story Part 3 (Final)

The Warmth of Light

Firarra's flying through the Orbit's Between when a Light appears in front of him "This light...it's so warm."

Canterlot

Firarra's standing at the city of Canterlot, staring at the sunset. He looks down and looks at his good luck Crystal Charm and had a thought about this place and reminded what Nightcrest had said earlier when the time that she gave one good luck charm to her friends.

"Somewhere out there, there's this place represents a bond of friendship..."

Firarra looks around the place. He walks to the grassy area and proceeds through it "Nightcrest...Wayward...I wonder if we'll ever be a team again. Looks like all the things that once held us together just push us further away. And now the light has lead me here. What am I supposed to do?" he thought.

Then he saw two fillies running around in front of him.

"Hey, slow down!" said Twilight Sparkle.

"Giving up already? Come on, Twilight" said Shining Armor.

The two fillies stopped running and sit watching the Celestia sun going down. Firarra turns to head back towards the streets but stops because he notices something. He looks at the white filly "Light...was I guided here in order to meet that white filly?" He turns and heads towards the streets again.

Then suddenly Twilight got up and then she pat her brother on the back and said "come on Shining Armor, race ya to the castle first one there is the lucky winner!" Twilight begins running, Shining Armor got up and began to walk behind her "c'mon! You call that running?"

Shining Armor then stops and looks at Firarra "Hey. Are you new around here?" he asked.

Firarra then realized when he heard that and then he answered "err, no. Why would you say that?"

"Because you look suspicious, and I know you're not from here."

"Smart filly. So how about you? What are you doing here in this type of evening?" Firarra asked.

"Sometimes me and my sister like to play around here and this is the only area that we go and nowhere else"

"Must be hard for you, stuck in one place" said Firarra as Shining Armor looked at the sunset.

"Someday when I wanna be strong one day. I don't know when it will happen, but it's my destiny that the strength that I need." said Shining Armor still looking at the sunset.

"Strength for what?" Firarra asked.

"To protect the things that matter. You know, like the castle and also my sister."

"Really" Firarra walks over to him and summons his Keyblade. He holds the handle towards Shining Armor "In your hoof, take this key. So long as you have the makings, then through this simple act of taking...its wielder you shall one day be." Shining Armor stretches out his arm and grabs the handle of Firarra's Keyblade and then suddenly...

"Shining Armor!" Twilight called to her brother as he let's go of Firarra's Keyblade and turns to look towards Twilight and she begins to be inpatient "come on, hurry up!" Firarra releases his Keyblade. Shining Armor waves at Twilight "You've gotta keep this a secret, okay? Otherwise, all the magic will wear off. Promise?"

Shining Armor shakes his head in acceptance and said "I promise" Firarra pats him on the head and they both laugh. Shining Armor runs to Twilight meets her halfway.

"Hey, what was all that about?" asked Twilight.

"Well, you know."

"Know what? Why won't you tell me? Who was that guy...somepony you know?"

"Maybe." said Shining Armor as they they walk together.

"Come on, you can tell me." Twilight begged.

"I really can't. I've gotta keep it a secret."

"Not with me you don't! I'm like the best secret-keeper in the world!"

"Nice try."

"Aww, come on" she begging even more to her brother and he cannot tell a thing from what Firarra had said.

Firarra saw those two fillies leaving and said "Protect the things that matter...right. My friends matter to me, too. So, I still have things that I have to protect."

Xora's Ambitions

Meanwhile Firarra is flying through the Orbit's Between again when he looks up and sees a light flying through the sky "That light...Is that Wayward?" then he heard Master Xora's voice again.

"Master Firarra. Find me. We must speak at once."

"Master Xora!" he cried as he turns and takes a different route. Firarra enters the Desert lands again and finds Master Xora on one of the rock pillars. He hovers in front of Master Xora on his Keyblade Glider and said "Master Xora, you wished to see me?"

"There is no time to lose! I've terrible news. Wayward Wind has stumbled upon the secrets of her origins."

"Wayward? I just saw her, she passed right in front of me. What's going on?"

"Wayward Wind is on her way home. If you could have seen the fury in her eyes...I'm certain she's capable of anything. I fear the girl may attempt to force the truth out of Zyra. Master Firarra, you must hurry back and see to your friend's safety."

"Understood" Firarra flies off into the portal again and entered the Orbit's between heading back home trying to get to Wayward and then suddenly he came out and he flies down down to the Land of Exodus. He sees Wayward standing with Master Zyra, whose Keyblade is drawn. Firarra speeds up. Wayward Wind is backing up slowly.

"...But you must exist no more." Zyra focuses energy around the tip of her Keyblade and swings it forward towards Wayward releasing the energy in strands that look like chains. Firarra swoops in and, quickly changing his Keyblade back to normal, blocks Zyra's attack.

"Wayward!" Firarra shouted.

"What?"

"Master, have you gone mad?"

"Firarra! I command you to step aside!" Zyra ordered.

"No!"

"You will not heed your master."

"I won't let you!"

"Why do all my attempts to reach you fail? If you don't have it in your heart to obey...then you will have to share Wayward Wind's fate." Zyra sheds a tear on her eye and then attacks Firarra. Wayward tried to stop him from battling against each other.

"Stop it, Firarra! She's right..." Wayward shouted.

"Quiet!" Firarra refused to Wayward and made her very upset.

"Firarra...why?"

Then Zyra performs an attack that throws Firarra and Wayward backwards. Firarra lands on his feet but Wayward doesn't. Firarra picks up Wayward while Zyra focuses another attack. Firarra focuses and begins to be surrounded in a flaming aura "You may be my Master. But I will not...let you hurt my friend!" Firarra's eyes has turned to flaming red.

"Has the flames taken you, Firarra?" Zyra asked as Firarra opens a portal and throws Wayward to it. Wayward got up and it was too late.

"Wait, Firarra!" The portal closes and Zyra and Firarra face each other.

Meanwhile Firarra defeats Zyra, who is worn out. He began to fee extremely guilty fo what he had done. He had persuaded Master Zyra "What have I done...Master...I just...wanted to keep Wayward safe."

"No, you were right. I failed you, Firarra. Perhaps I've no one to blame but myself for the darkness inside you. And now I've done worse...raised my Keyblade against you and Wayward Wind. My own heart is darkness!" suddenly Zyra is struck from behind. She drops her Keyblade and falls towards Firarra, fading into shimmers of light. Firarra falls to his knees and starts crying leadng tear drops down to the ground and said in sorrow to her name "Master Zyra!"

Then somepony walks towards him "What a pity sight. Why do you trouble yourself with remorse, Master Firarra? The mare was bent on doing harm to your friend, her own pupil!"

"Master Xora! Why?" Firarra looks up to him with tears.

"You know, at times I find your progress quite striking. But you still fall short. Let all that anger out, my boy. Give your heart over to darkness!"

"What do you mean?"Firarra summons his keyblade.

"Still so blind...Then I will make you see. Come to the place where all Keyblade wielders leave their mark on fate...the Keyblade Graveyard!" Xora summons his Keyblade. "There you will watch your dear Wayward Wind and Nightcrest meet their ends, and the last light within you will die!" Xora raises his Keyblade toward the sky and fires a beam of darkness into it. After Master Xora fires the beam of darkness into the sky, the sky grows dark and a large sphere of darkness floats above the castle "You won't need a home anymore where you're going!"

Firarra looked arund and the whol area was destroyed and with that he looked at Xora as he started to escape "Xora! Stop!"

Master Xora has opened a dark portal and passes through it, disappearing before Firarra can reach him. The sphere of darkness left behind by Xora begins destroying the castle and surrounding area. Firarra looks around at what's happening for a moment then takes out his Crystal Charm "Wayward, Nightcrest...I won't let him hurt you." Firarra flies away on his Keyblade Glider.

The Keyblade Graveyard

Firarra enters the Keyblade Graveyard and looks around at the scars that have been left in the landscape. He summons his Keyblade, holding it out in front of him "what I do, I do for friendship." He releases his Keyblade and walks through the area. A moment later after minutes of hiking through the canyons Firarra enters an area where a crossroad is made by many Keyblades that stick lifelessly out of the ground. He looks and sees Nightcrest walking towards him. Nightcrest stops when she gets near him and after a silence...

"I was told...the Master was struck down" said Nightcrest and Firarra was shcked to here that and he look down in shame.

"Yes...that's right. I was stupid and helped Xora do it. Master Zyra...she tried to hurt Wayward. I only fought because I wanted to protect her. But I was tricked. Xora set the whole thing up...all so he could awaken the darkness inside me. You were right, Nightcrest...and so was the Master. I did need to be watched. I went astray...but no more."

Nightcrest began to sigh and said "What else is darkness but hate and rage? Xora is feeding the dark fires within you--making you fight. You'll go astray again. Tell me...how does that honor our Master's memory, Firarra?"

Firarra looks away from her and sees Wayward walking towards them. When she reaches them...

"Xora wants me and Vorion to fight, and make some kind of 'χ-blade.' But the Master said we can't let that happen...and she tried to destroy me for it."

"χ-blade?" Nightcrest wondered.

"I still don't know exactly what it is. But...it really scares me. Even just the thought of it." Wayward touched her heart and Firarra come closer to her and place a hoof on the back of her neck and he tries to calm her down.

"Relax, Wayward. We're here and we're gonna take care of you" said Firarra.

"I may have to fight Vorion after all. If I do, guys...I want you to..."

"The three of us can never be torn apart, all right? I'll always find a way" then there were silence and Wayward closed her eyes in sadness and Nighcrest hold her hoof to Wayward.

"I'm asking you, as a friend...Just...put an end to me."

Nightcrest and Firarra both gasp and then a wind picks up. All three look in the same direction and see Master Xora walking towards them. Vorion comes out from behind Master Xora, walking right along with him. They both stop and then Xora said "Behold... These powerless keys used to be full of power...united with the hearts of their masters. On this barren soil, Keyblades with light and darkness were locked in combat...as a great Keyblade Battle raged. Countless Keyblade wielders gave up their lives, all in search of one, ultimate key. And it will soon belong to me..." Master Xora points at Wayward.

"χ-blade."

Firarra, Nightcrest and Wayward all don their armor. Wayward starts to rush, but Firarra stops her and rushes at them himself. He prepares to attack but is hit when Xora lifts the ground beneath himself as well, creating a cliff much higher than the surrounding terrain. While Vorion strikes Firarra with Purple Thunder, and is immediately pursued by Nightcrest and Wayward Wind, Firarra chases after Xora, who creates a Keyblade infused cyclone to aid Vorion against Nightcrest and Wayward.

Vorion chases and battles Nightcrest and Wayward Wind on the cyclone and neither are able to overcome her. But Nightcrest took off with her wings. Noticing that Firarra is getting closer to Xora, Vorion directs the cyclone towards Firarra, knocking him off the cliff. Nightcrest and Wayward Wind watch in horror, and Nightcrest gets hit by the cyclone, falling down from the air and crashing to the ground, obliterating her helmet completely. Wayward Wind comes to her aid as she casts Reflect magic on Firarra to protect him from the cyclone. The spell protects him from the cyclone until the he is pushed up to where Xora is, at which point it explodes, blasting the cyclone to pieces. Firarra is dropped to where Xora is. Firarra briefly duels Xora until the old pony freezes his left arm. Wayward Wind attempts to attack Xora from behind, but Xora teleports himself behind Wayward and grabs her by the helmet, beginning to crush it. Firarra stumbles forward, probably in an attempt to help Wayward, until Vorion and the Keyblade infused cyclone inexplicably reappear below Firarra's feet, hurling him off the cliff as countless keyblades batter his body. Xora and Vorion stand at the top of the cliff, still holding Wayward, presumably so Nightcrest could see her. When she does, the visor of Wayward’s helmet began to break into pieces and part of her face was shown and the reflection of Nightcrest’s shock was seen in front of Wayward’s eye. Xora first burns and then freezes Wayward Wind. Xora throws Wayward off the cliff, and her armor shatters on a few rocks. Nightcrest catches her. Wayward moves her eyes to indicate that she is still alive.

"Wayward, are you okay?" Nightcrest looked at her.

Thn suddenly Xora's Keyblade is changed into a purple and blue ball of flame-like energy, which he shoots upwards to part the gathering dark clouds, revealing Kingdom Hearts. Nightcrest looks up in amazement. A little distance away we see Arctic approach. Firarra, was on the ground where he landed, takes off his helmet. He stands up and forms his Keyblade Glider, riding up the cliffside. He lands near Xora and releases his armor.

"Admirably done. I knew this was a journey you could make--over the unseen wall that divides darkness and light. And I was not wrong, Firarra!"

"My friend Wayward..." Firarra starts to summon his Keyblade "you tell me, Xora--what did you do to her?"

"Why, I did her a favor and freed the darkness inside her. Alas, poor Wayward Wind never had the fortitude for such strenuous trials."

"Xora!" Firarra shouted in anger as he starts to attacks Xora, but it takes Xora little effort to block his attack. Xora looks at Vorion.

"Go take what Wayward Wind owes you. And take Nightcrest's life." Firarra looks over his shoulder. After Vorion starts to run to the cliff, Firarra breaks his attack on Xora and follows after her. Vorion jumps off the cliff, but before Firarra can follow. Xora teleports in front of him, blocking his path. Firarra jumps back "You see how powerless you are to save them? Savor that rage and despair. Let it empower you!"

"You will pay, Xora! Was my Master no, my mother, Zyra not enough for you? Leave my friends alone!" Firarra's flames are manifesting. His eyes turn red.

"Yes, that's it! More! Let your whole heart scream out with hatred!"

Firarra screams, releasing his flames with eruption and fights Xora.

Then suddenly when Firarra's flames came to an halt while battling he beats Xora who falls to to the ground exhausted. Firarra walks over to him and the ground begins to shake.

"There, you see?" Xora points behind Firarra who is reluctant to look behind him. But, he turns around and sees a light rising from the ground at the bottom of the cliff "The χ-blade has been forged!"

"Wayward! No!"

"And now, Firarra, it is time for the final union!" Xora turns his Keyblade on himself and points it at his heart. He uses it to unlock his heart "At last, the time has come." Xora's Keyblade dissolves and his heart moves out of his body "out with the old and brittle vessel, and in with a younger, stronger new one!" Xora raises his hooves, lifting his heart up toward the sky. Firarra looks up in amazement "I swore I would survive...and be there to see what awaited beyond the Keyblade War! And now it is your darkness that shall be the ark that sustains me!" Xora fires his heart at Firarra who quickly summons his armor to try and protect himself. Firarra is unable to move and Xora’s body disappears into shimmers of light. All of Firarra's armor falls off, and his Keyblade falls to the ground. His hair has turned white, and his voice is deeper it appears Xora has succeeded "This heart belongs again to darkness. The heart is no different. Darkness sprouts within it...it grows, consumes it. Such is its nature. In the end, every heart returns to the darkness whence it came." His eyes open and we see Xora truly has taken over Firarra's body. Xora summons his Keyblade and walks away from Firarra's armor and Keyblade. Suddenly the area is surrounded by orange chains of energy.

"What?"

"Xora turns around to see Firarra's armor has formed together in its pony shape, kneeling with its hoofs on the hilt of the Keyblade that is sticking out of the ground.

"Your body submits, your heart succumbs...so why does your mind resist?"

The armor stands, pulls the Keyblade from the ground, and fights Xora.

After that when the terror of the possession was over by dark magic that Xora has summon to attack Firarra's armor. Firarra's armor defeats Xora, who lays on the ground unconscious. The armor places the Keyblade back into the ground and gets back on its knees. The ground begins to shake and an explosion from side of the cliff slowly consumes the area. It first hits Xora in Firarra's body and continues to toward the armor. Before it takes the armor as well, we see flashbacks of Wayward Wind and Nightcrest. After the explosion dissipates, Firarra's armor sits alone underneath Kingdom Hearts. The clouds begin to close in around Kingdom Hearts until it and its light disappears, leaving the area in darkness.

"Nightcrest, Wayward...One day I will set this right."

~Firarra

Wayward Wind's Story Part 1

Wayward is laying on her bed in her room, swinging a wooden Keyblade back and forth about a few times. She stops and holds it above her, where we see it says 'Firarra' and sighs. The bells start to go off. Wayward gets up and runs to leave her room.

"Better hurry, Wayward..."

Wayward looks over her back and she sees a Black Pony in a suit standing in her room and said "Huh? Who are you?"

"Or you'll never see Firarra again."

"What? Get real. I can see him anytime I want."

"Like right now? He's leaving you behind. And by the time you catch up...he'll be a different pony."

"Look...whoever you are...you don't know the first thing about Firarra. Me and him will always be a team. You trying to pick a fight or what?" said Wayward standing in a battle pose and the Black Pony does not care for her question, so she walks across Wayward's room and said "Oh, get a grip. Is that what you call friendship? You'll never know the truth unless you go out there and see it for yourself. Come on, what could you possibly know when you're stuck here, looking at nothing but what's in your tiny home?" Then the Black Pony summoned a black portal and she steps in and disappears.

Then suddenly Wayward has a flashback when the time that she was at training in the forecourt with Firarra giving a few block attacks moves. Then meanwhile Firarra was getting on to her, she starts to cry and letting a few tears coming out of her but Firarra pats her on the head to cheer her up. And lastly of her and Firarra sitting and laughing.

"Firarra!" Wayward runs out of her room.

Meanwhile outside the forecourt Firarra stepped outside the castle to begin his journey.

"Firarra wait!" he heard a loud shout coming from the stairs and it was Wayward is running down the stairs in front of the castle to reach Firarra as he turns around as Wayward reaches him and breathing heavily.

"I...I..." as she began to speak Firarra pats her on the head.

"It's fine."

Firarra shakes his head then turns around and hits one of the guard bracelets on his two arms to summon his armor and Keyblade. He holds his Keyblade up and fires a beam of light into the sky where it opens a portal to the Orbit's Between. He then tosses his Keyblade into the air where it transforms into his Keyblade Glider.

"Wow" said Wayward in an amazement mood.

He jumps onto it when it comes back down, circles around and shoots up toward the portal. Wayward, disappointed, hits one of the guard rings on her two arms to summon his armor. She looks at it for a moment and then summons her Keyblade, tossing it into the air and turning it into her Keyblade Glider. She jumps onto it when it comes back down, circles and shoots up as Nightcrest comes running toward her.

"Wait, Wayward!" she yelled but it was too late Wayward rides up and into the portal while Nightcrest and Master Zyra watch from the forecourt.

[....] (Here the link music of the Orbit's Between.)

Snow White

Wayward arrives in a mountainous area and looks around. She spots seven little men carrying pick-axes walking in a line and she was in amazement "wow." They walk under the overpass Wayward's on and into a mine. She follows them through the canyons and she enters the mine and sees the men working, mining jewels and then suddenly a little man with glasses named Doc turned around and sees some coming into the mines "Huh? Who are you?" he asked.

"I'm Wayward Wind. Call me Wayward." she introduced.

"A diamond crook! Take cover, ya fools!" said that grumpy old man and then the seven men begin running around in a panic. They run deeper into the mine, save Dopey who runs into a wall. Wayward looks around confused "I'm sorry. I didn't mean to frighten you."

"You didn't" said Happy.

"(Yawn) You mean, you're not here for our diamonds?" yawned Sleepy.

"That's not nice, treating me like some kind of criminal. I'm just trying to find a friend. His name is Firarra. He's look kind of like me, but brown, about yay tall..." said Wayward describing to them the size by using her hoof.

"Sounds like a tattle tale to me! So go on, scram!" shouted Grumpy.

"Please...could ya come over here? I just want to talk." Wayward starts to beg.

"Don't fall for it! Stay where ya are!" ordered Grumpy and then Wayward had enough of this she decided to do this the hard way.

"All right. Then we'll do this the hard way!" she starts chases after them into the mine and after Wayward catches all seven of the dwarfs and she tries to tell the honest truth that she is not here to steal their diamonds "come on. I'm telling ya, I'm no crook."

"Ha, that's what they all say. Well, we're onto ya!" said Grumpy.

"Fine, I get it. You want me to leave, I'll leave" she said as she turns to walk out of the mine "Oh, but...can you tell me where I can find some other guys around here?" said Wayward by look back to them.

"There's a castle beyond the chorus...I mean, the forest." said Doc

"Got it. Well, thanks" she said as she leaves the mines and into the woods. In the Woods Wayward comes across a little cottage, she peeks through the window to see if anyones in. It turns out to be empty "This must be where those little men live." Then she hears a scream in the woods. She turns and looks around to find where it came from. "There!" She cried as she runs towards into the woods again and with that she looks around and everything was dark and then she finds Snow White, sitting on the ground crying. Wayward walks towards her she placed her right hoof on her right shoulder and said "what's the matter?"

Then Snow White tries to answer her back but she suffered with grief as she said "These scary horrible trees...they tried to grab me."

Wayward extends her arm to help her up "Ah, it’s okay. You were probably just seeing things. It happens to all of us when we're afraid." She helps Snow White up and he begin to feel better now.

"Oh, thank you. I feel quite better now. I'm sure I'll get along, somehow. But...I do need a place to sleep at night. Would you know anywhere I might?"

"Well, I saw a house just up ahead. Come on, I'll take ya there. Oh, I'm Wayward Wind. Wayward for short."

"Thank you, Wayward. My name's Snow White."

"Great. Let's get going!"

Meanwhile outside the woods Wayward and Snow White reach the little cottage and enter it "I'm pretty sure you'll be safe here...but sit tight while I look around." Wayward leaves. A little while later the dwarfs return home. Doc goes upstairs to the bedroom "Someone's asleep in here!"

As Wayward returns "It's all clear! Not a monster in sight...Huh!" She sees Snow White and the seven dwarfs.

"Couldn't stay away, couldja? An' who invited you in, ya rotten crook?" said Grumpy. Snow White tries to defend Wayward and tell them she's no crook "Oh no, she's not a crook. She rescued me."

"You fussn't be mooled...uh, musn't be fooled by her, princess." said Doc.

"Just go on an' git!" shouted Grumpy.

As Snow White stops the dwarfs to tell Wayward to go she said "Please don't send her away. You see, she helped me when I was lost, and oh, so very frightened."

"What happened?" Wayward asked.

"Well, I was picking flowers by the wood, and there was a strange pony there. He had a sword, but it was like a key...and then these monsters came and..."

"A sword like a key...Firarra!" Wayward thought.

"Ya mean this stranger saw ya and set his horde of evil monsters after ya?" said Doc.

"Firarra would never do that!" she said.

"Oh, of course. I'm sure he wouldn't. Not if he's someone who's your friend."

"Princess! You trustn't be so musting...er, trusting."

"She's a-lyin'! Mark my words!"

"I'll prove it!" said Wayward as she runs off. Running through the woods, Wayward runs into a giant tree Unversed. She summons her Keyblade "Back off!" she shouted as she fights the tree like Flayer.

After Wayward defeats the Unversed she runs out of the woods and into the flower glade "Firarra!" She looks around and there was no response and then she looks down in sorrow. While looking down an apple rolls up to her hoof. She bends down and picks it up. She then sees an old woman in a black hooded cloak carrying a basket full of apples "Excuse me, ma'am? You dropped this."

The woman turns around and Wayward gives her the apple "Oh, why thank you, my pet. To tell the truth, I really don't know what I would have done without that. (evil laugh) Haven't I seen a pony that similar before?"

"Firarra? You know Firarra?" Wayward asked.

"Oh, yes, yes...That ruffian pointed one of those key shaped swords, asking about some "Xora"...My poor heart nearly stopped."

"That doesn't sound like him at all... Ma'am, where did Firarra go?"

"I'm sure I have no idea...Must you all menace a poor granny so?"

The old woman turns and walks away "Firarra, what did you do?" she thought.

Cinderella

We see the castle out a window where Cinderella sits, staring out. She sighs. Suddenly a young mouse name Jaq runs in the room climbing up the bed post in a panic mood "Cinderella! Cinderella! Come on! Gotta hurry! Gotta Hurry!"

"Now, Jaq, what's all the fuss about?" said Cinderella. She tries to calm Jaq down as he breathes in and out and he told to Cinderella what is going on "Somebody new in the house! Somebody I never saw before." he said.

"Oh, a new friend. Where is it?"

"In a cage! Down the stairs!"

"Oh dear!" said Cinderella as she gots up off her chair and hurries out of the room. Meanwhile in the other room Wayward was pacing in a cage "What is going on?" She stomped her right hoof and then grabs the bars on the cage "Somepony tell me how Ah got so SMALL! (sigh)"

Then suddenly a door opens. Cinderella walks over and picks up the cage Wayward is in, causing her to tumble in the process. She opens the door on the trap "Don't be afraid. Oh! How interesting...I've never seen a mouse like you before."

"Mouse?" Confused Wayward

"Jaq, you better explain things to her."

She sits the trap down and Jaq enters it "Now, now, now. Look, little guy. Take it easy. Nothing to worry about. We like you. Cinderella likes you, too. She's nice, very nice. Come on now. Zugk-zugk." They exit the trap as Jaq introduced to himself to Wayward "My name is Jaq."

"I'm Wayward Wind. Call me Wayward."

"Okay, Wayward. Need something? Ask Jaq!" said Jaq and then a voice was heard outside the room it was Lady Tremaine calling Cinderella out "Cinderella!"

"Oh well, time to get to my chores. I'll see you in a little while, Wayward." said Cinderella as she leaves the room.

"Wow, I guess she's got a little worked up" said Wayward.

"Yep, work, work, work! Stepmother keeps Cinderella busy all day!"

"She didn't seem to mind much, though."

"No, not Cinderella. She works hard. She's got a dream...a big dream. The dream's gonna come true!"

"That sounds like somepony I know" Wayward reminded herself that somone else has dream like becoming a Keyblade master.

Flashback

"Being a Keyblade Master is all I've dreamed about" said Firarra holding up the wooden Keyblade on his hoof.

Flashback Ends

"Hey, maybe you can help me find him! His name's Firarra. You seen him?" asked Wayward.

"No. I never saw Firarra before." Jaq answered. "Come on. Follow me. You gotta see the house." he starts walking as Wayward looks down and she was so close of finding Firarra though as she said "Oh, well. It was worth a shot." She follows Jaq through a mouse hole into the wall. Back in Cinderella's room, Jaq and Wayward stand on the window sill and look out at the castle "What's that?" she asked.

"That's the palace...the King's palace. There's going to be a big ball there tonight."

"Is Cinderella going?"

"Well, I don't know..." Cinderella enters the room and she sees Jaq and Wayward on the window sill "Hello, you two. Have you become friends already?" Jaq and Wayward nod their heads while Cinderella moves a dress mannequin "Oh, that's wonderful." She starts working on the dress.

"You sure look happy, Cinderella" said Wayward.

"Mm, I'm going to the royal ball tonight. (sigh) I guess dreams really do come true."

"Cinderella" called Lady Tremaine.

"My dress will have to wait." She stops working on her dress.

"Cinderella!" called Anastasia and Drizella.

"All right, all right, I'm coming!" She leaves the room leaving Warward and Jaq behind. Jaq felt pretty bad about Cinderella "Poor Cinderella... She's not going to the ball."

"Why not?" ask Wayward.

"You'll see. They'll fix her. Work, work, work. She'll never get her dress done. Say, I got an idea! Wayward, will you help me?"

"With what?" she wondered as Jaq points to Cinderella's dress. "Fixing Cinderella's dress for the ball" said Jaq.

"But what do we need to get?"

"Look around the house. There are lots of pretty things."

"Okay, let's do it. I'll go find whatever we need. Jaq, ya get things set up here." said Wayward as she hops off the window sill and onto the wooden floor.

"Okay! Oh and Wayward! Be careful of Lucifer!"

"Luc-i-what?"

"Lucifer is a cat! He's mean...sneaky... He'll jump at you, bite at you!

"Okay, got it" Wayward heads of and explores the house searching for pretty thing to go with Cinderella's dress.

Meanwhile after collecting everything around the house Wayward returns to Cinderella's room and gave Jaq the items for Cinderella's dress.

"It still needs a pretty pearl." Jaq requests.

"Leave it to me" as Wayward leaves the room again and hunt down for the pearl. Later in the other room Wayward is hiding behind a table leg, spots a pearl. But it's near Lucifer "There it is." She quietly tip-toes over, waves her hoof in front of Lucifer to make sure he's asleep, picks up the pearl, and turns to tip-toe away. But, Lucifer opens his eyes and sits up. He raises his paw with his claws out and prepares to swat at Wayward.

"Look out! Lucifer!" shouted Jaq as the a ball of yarn hits Lucifer on the head. Jaq threw it from the top of a table. "Hurry! Hurry, Wayward!" Wayward takes off running as Jaq throws more balls of yarn at Lucifer. But, Lucifer runs around dodging them and then rams the table Jaq is on knocking him into the floor. "Ooh, that hurts..." Lucifer goes to attack Jaq, but Wayward runs over and blocks it.

"Time to play, cat!" said Wayward on her battling stand against him, he turns and sees Jaq "Take the pearl, Jaq. I'll hold him off. Run!" Jaq grabs the pearl and escapes as Wayward takes on Lucifer. Lucifer runs off after the battle and Jaq walks over to Wayward.

"Oh, that's a big "thank you." said Jaq.

"No thanks needed. Ya saved me before, so I saved you. That's what friends are for, right?"

"Yep! Wayward Wind and Jaq are good friends!"

"Now, let's get that dress finished." They run to the mouse hole to return to Cinderella's room. Cinderella enters her room and goes to the window "Oh, well... What's a royal ball? After all, I suppose it would be frightfully dull and boring...and completely...completely wonderful." She stares at the castle.

"Cinderella!" Wayward calls out to her. She turns around as Wayward and Jaq open the partition to reveal her completed dress.

"Is that my dress?" Cinderella asked.

"Yes. It's a present from us. Now you have a dress for the ball."

Cinderella lowers her hands and picks up Wayward and Jaq "Why, it's...it's such a surprise..."

"Hurry! Time to go, Cinderella!" said Jaq.

"Oh, thank you." smiled Cinderella.

Meanwhile Jaq and Wayward sit on the window sill looking out at the castle "I hope Cinderella's dream comes true. What are your dreams, Wayward?"

Then Wayward looked at Jaq and she wonders "I wonder..."

Flashback

"Being a Keyblade Master is all I've dreamed about" said Firarra holding up the wooden Keyblade on his hoof.

"Well, you're not the only one" said Nightcrest in the background.

"I know. You, me, and Wayward all share the same dream."

Flashback Ends

"Funny... I'd never really thought about it--at least until you asked me. My dream is to become a Keyblade Master" said Wayward as she summons her Keyblade.

"I hope your dream comes true, too" asked Jaq when Wayward releases her Keyblade.

"I just need to keep on believing, right?"

They look at the castle again.

Sleeping Beauty

Wayward's walking through the castle's hallway searching for her friend Firarra and it turns out he wasn't there at all so she sighed "Still no sign of Firarra" she said as she reach to a door right in front of her, she turned the door knob and twist it with her hoof, pushes it open and sticks her head out in the room checking the room is clear. But it isn't, someone is there and it is a sleeping beauty princess sleeping in her bed. Wayward was amazed so she tip-toed over to her to have a closer look.

"Stop, you get away from her this instant" said the voice behind Wayward as she turns around and she sees three different colour fairies, one red, one blue and one green.

"Wha...oh, I'm sorry. It's just, I've never seen anyone so beautiful" said Wayward as Flora flies over to examine her.

"Who are you exactly?" Flora asked.

"I'm Wayward Wind. But you can call me Wayward."

"Oh...You don't seem bad, dear. I'm certain you have a pure heart, just like our precious Aurora" said Fauna when she flies over to Wayward.

"Can you tell me why she's sleeping" Wayward ask.

Flora then explains what happened to Aurora "Long ago, Maleficent cursed her. Now she's stolen her heart."

Wayward was shocked when she heard that, so she decided that to get Aurora's heart back "Hm...Well then, why don't I go get it back for her?" said Wayward and the fairies doesn't seem to like her idea.

"That's impossible, dear. Maleficent's home is at the Forbidden Mountain. It's not safe" said Fauna.

Wayward is not afraid to do it and she said "well, I'm not afraid. We can't just leave Aurora like this. I can help. You gotta believe me. C'mon, let's go get her heart!"

"You know, you're absolutely right. The Forbidden Mountain is through the forest. Come along--follow us. After all, we wouldn't want you to get lost" said Flora as Wayward nods and they depart.

They reach the edge of the forest where a green flame barrier prevents them from entering the Forbidden Mountain "Looks like we're stuck" said Wayward.

"This must be Maleficent's doing" said Flora.

"I know" said Fauna as she flies forward, waves her wand and the flames disappear "shall we."

They continue foward. Wayward and the fairies enter Maleficent's castle and find her goons guarding the way in the throne room.

"Careful, they're Maleficent's" warned Flora as they seen the goons look tired.

"Well, they ain’t guardin’ anything" said Wayward as she rushes forward to them and summoning her Keyblade "Ten-shun! No sleeping on the job!"

After fighting off Maleficent's goons and traversing her maze, Wayward finds Aurora's heart, protected by a barrier of Maleficent's green flames. Wayward uses her Keyblade to unlock the barrier and set Aurora's heart free. The heart flies off to return to its body "That should do it" said Wayward as she starts to walk out there was a flash of light and it turns to be one of Aurora's memories when the time Prince Phillip first met Aurora before.

He tries to get Aurora to remember him "Don't you remember? We've met before" said Prince Phillip.

Princess Aurora seemed confused and all that she doesn't remember "We...we have?" she asked.

"Why of course. You said so yourself...once upon a dream" said Prince Phillip and then Aurora looked back and then realized and then she look back glaring at Phillip and they both walk to a shade tree.

"I never thought I would meet you...outside of my dreams, that is" said Aurora.

"Who are you? What's your name?" asked Phillip.

Then Aurora is about to say her name "Hmm? Oh, my name... Why, it's... Oh, oh no, I can't... Good-bye"  she begin to feel confused again and she let's go of Prince Phillip's arm and starts to run off.

"I must see you!" he shouted.

"I don't know, maybe someday."

"When? Tomorrow?

"Oh, no. This evening! At the cottage, in the glen" said Aurora as she runs off again.

Suddenly another flash of light appeared and Wayward opened her eyes and she has no idea what has happened "what was that all about?" she wondered and the three fairies has shown up to explain to her that it was her memories of Aurora's.

"Aurora's memory. She must have gotten her heart back" said Flora.

"So her dream came true!" smiled Wayward.

"Yes, not long ago. Dreams are very strong beliefs. Aurora's led her to her true love" said Flora.

"I see you hold strong beliefs too. Don't you, dear?" asked Fauna and Wayward nodded yes and she smiled as well.

"You also have a strong light" smiled Flora.

"Alright. Hurry, we can't stay here!" said Merryweather.

They go to leave the castle. Later on as they run into the throne room, they're stopped by a woman in their path and said "Someone has released Aurora's heart. Tell me, little horse, was it you?" she asked that Wayward had done it.

"Maleficent" the fairies called out.

"Only 'cause you stole it in the first place!" said Wayward as summons her Keyblade and tries to attack Maleficent, but she simply disappears in her green fire. Wayward looks around for her.

"What an interesting sword...You must be Wayward Wind" said Maleficent as Wayward turns and sees her on top of the bricked stairs and Wayward wants to know how does she know her name and how does she know about the Keyblade and then Maleficent laughed and she told her that Wyward's friend Firarra came here and demonstrated for her by stealing Princess Aurora's heart and then Wayward don't believe her and she thinks that it was all a lie, so she took a fighting stance.

"I was asked to leave you unharmed...but it seems I have no choice!" said Maleficent as she prepares to fight Wayward. The three fairies turn into balls of light in order to help Wayward.

After the fight Maleficent walks, hurt, back up to the throne and Wayward was thinking to herself that Firarra will never do such a thing "There's no way Firarra would hurt somebody like that!" she said.

"You don't believe me? That's unfortunate, for he agreed so easily" said Maleficent.

"He did?" said Wayward and then suddenly she heard another voice.

"Wayward! Don't be fooled!" It was Nightcrest running towards Wayward and they both finally reunitied with each other "Firarra would never do that. You know that as well as I do" and Wayward agrees to her.

"Ahh... The truth can be most cruel, even amongst the closest of friends. After all, one never knows the secrets of another's heart. I'm sure you'll agree...Wayward Wind...Nightcrest" said Maleficent.

Then Nightcrest looks at Wayward and said "The Master sent me. Wayward...let's go home" Nightcrest tries to get Wayward home. But Wayward can't she wants to keep searching for Firarra.

"But Firarra..."

"Firarra's not ready to leave yet" said Nightcrest.

But Wayward reminded herself what the Black Pony said in her room.

Flashback

"Like right now? He's leaving you behind. And by the time you catch up...he'll be a different pony.

Flashback Ends

"Nightcrest I'm sorry but I can't go with you. It's just...I have to find him before its too late!" then she started to run off and Nightcrest tries to stop her but it was too late she already gone off. Meanwhile she was running through the castle trying to find out where Firarra is "Firarra, where are you?" she said as she left the castle and go find him.

Wayward Wind's Story Part 2

The Desert Lands

Wayward's travelling through the Orbit's between, when suddenly the Black Pony passes by her "huh, her again!" said Wayward. The Black Pony looks back to her and then zoomed off and Wayward chases after her.

A portal from the Orbit's between has opened and Wayward came out of it and she has entered the Desert Lands and jumps from her Keyblade Glider, releasing it and her armor, and landing as she starts to look around the area searching for the Black Pony.

"Where is she hiding?" said Wayward as she turns around and she sees the Black Pony. "All right! What did you mean about Firarra being a different pony?"

Then the Black Pony walks over to Wayward and said "Exactly what I said, moron. The Firarra you know will be gone forever."

"That's the stupidest thing I've ever heard!" shouted Wayward.

"Stupid, or true" said the Black Pony as she stands on her two legs, holds out her hoof and summons a Keyblade. Wayward was shocked when she sees she has one and then she has no choice but to fight, so she Wayward summons her Keyblade and both of them take fighting stances.

"Good. Let's see what you're made of" said the Black Pony.

After a few moments of battling against each other Wayward tries to hit her hard but she can't because the Black Pony's power is too strong, she keeps teleporting and hit her from behind and used some of her dark magic against her as well. Then suddenly Wayward gets beat and knocked back by the Black Pony.

"That really all you got? Gee, you are worthless. I'd be going against the Master's orders, but so what? As far as I'm concerned, your job here is done" said the Black Pony as she charges an attack and fires it at Wayward. After the explosion's flames, reflecting in her eye on the visor, dissipate we see Wayward is gone. She turns and looks.

"Don't worry! You're safe" said Arctic when he saved Wayward. Arctic holds his arm back and summons a Keyblade, then uses some magic.

"Heal!" He cures Wayward. Then turns and faces the Black Pony and said "Hey you! Let me tell you something! Keyblades are not something you use just to mess somepony around! Here, I'll show you!"

"We both will!" said Wayward as she got up and stood next to Arctic and the two take on the Black Pony.

Suddenly Wayward and Arctic are successful at defeating the Black Pony, who lays on the ground. The Black Pony teleports herself back onto her hoofs and brings herself up and said "hmph, you win." Then she summons a dark portal. "Consider yourself on probation" she backs through the portal and disappears.

Wayward releases her Keyblade and she looks and thanks Arctic for saving her "Probation for what? Thanks for before, I owe ya. The name's Wayward Wind. What's yours?"

"I'm Arctic, Arctic White" he introduced and Wayward noticed and she pointed out the keyblade that he is holding.

"I see you've got a Keyblade" Wayward called out.

"That's right. I've been training under the great Master Aris" said Arctic as he releases his Keyblade "I’ve noticed that their are problems out there and I sort of wander off alone."

"Well, that makes both of us. I ran off, too" laughed Waywrad.

"All I have to do is think it, and the Port Emerald will take me anywhere I wanna go" said Arctic as he pulled out a crystal object "At least I thought it would. I haven't quite got the fine points down, like...when, or where... It just kinda kicks in whenever it wants to. But I wouldn't have met you if it hadn't brought me here" said Arctic and then Wayward started to laugh. "You know, it might not be an mistake. Maybe it starts working because it's reacting to something." Then suddenly the Port Emerald starts glowing brightly.

Ponyville

Wayward wakes up in her armor floating near a world. She decides to land. Wayward enters the town square and looks around and she sees Arctic runs into town and said "Arctic? Where is he going?" and she follows him.

Wayward runs through Ponyville and made it to the train station and there was no sign of him anywhere, then she saw a train and it already left the station, then she thinks that Arctic was on board the train. Suddenly Wayward has no choice but to chase the train "I have to catch up with that train" she then hits her guard ring and hopped onto her glider. Later on after Wayward followed the train on her glider she arrives at a big kingdom called Canterlot. She was amazed when she first arrived "wow!" she said. Suddenly after a few distractions the train stops at the next station, Wayward lands down and releasing her armor. Once she got to the station the train doors opened. She looked at every door on the train and she noticed that Arctic isn’t there "Where could he be? I sworn he was on the train" she sighed and then looks around and heads off to find where Arctic went.

Wayward runs along the path to the castle entrance and looks around. Where two guards stand. When Wayward gets near they hold out their weapons and block her path "hold on" said the left guard.

"The castle is presently closed" said the guard on the right.

"But somepony just came this way! He's a friend of mine" said Wayward and the Royal Guards look at each other.

"We aren't aware of any visitors. Now run along home, girl, before the monsters get you" said the guard on the left.

"I coulda sworn it was him" said Wayward as she turns to leave and then she sees a large Flayer appears.

"They're here! Canterlot shall not fall under the likes of you" said the right guard and they both start walking toward the Flayer to dispose of it when Wayward starts running toward the Flayer and passes them.

"Leave this to me!" she said while running.

"Stop! You're just a young pony!" said the guard on the right and they looked at each other and continue forward and then suddenly a white alicorn showed up and she walk towards them.

"Now who do you think will defend the entrance if you two go skipping off?" said Princess Celestia.

"But, she’s about to..."

"Never you worry about her. She's a special case" said Celestia.

"A what?" asked the left guard.

"Celestia is right. The girl and the castle come first. She will have to fend for herself" said the guard on the right and then the Royal Guards walk toward the castle gates. Even Princess Celestia turns to return to the castle.

Meanwhile Wayward travelled back to Ponyville to chase down the Flayer she ended up in the town square and she saw an eldery green mare name Granny Smith and she is attacked by the Flayer and she told it to clear off many times.

"Ach! How dare ye!? Back off, ye fiend! Ye'll not be gettin' my apples!" said Granny Smith.

"Look out!" shouted Wayward as she throws her Keyblade, hitting the Flayer and causing it to flee. Wayward tries to chase it.

"Hold on...wait a moment, deary" said Granny Smith when the Flayer escapes as Wayward stops and turns around "Don't I even get a chance to repay ya?"

"Oh, you don't have to" said Wayward as she turns around again and continue chasing the Flayer.

"Now, just hold yer hooves. I dinna mean me berries. Maybe a wee bit o' apples, or a small pie of..."

"Well, could ya make it fast?" Wayward begged.

"I know...I've just the thing in mah hat!" said Granny Smith as she takes off her hat and laughs and she told Wayward to come towards her. So she did, Wayward walks over to her. Granny Smith moves the hat up to cover her mouth to have a private chat "Ye can tell me, deary. Yer new here aren’t ya? You came from another place, didn't ya?" Wayward gasped and then Granny Smith said "Dinna worry. Me mouth is sealed. Yer secret's safe with me. I'll not be askin' ye any awkward questions. Ye see, 'tis the same with me after all" she giggled.

Then everything went silent and Wayward wonders if she's done or not "Great! That all?"

"Ach, but I'm holding ye up, deary. Here. These are lifetime passes to Vena Town. Ye'll have buckets o' fun there, or my name is not Granny Smith. There y'are...enough for you and two grown-ups. Oh by the way, yer more than welcome to come to mah farm called the Sweet Apple Acres" said Granny Smith as she pulls three tickets out of her hat and gave them to Wayward.

She looks at them and she said "Oh, err! Okay thanks" then she continues in the direction the Flayer went.

Meanwhile Wayward runs through town to where the Flayer went. When she enters the area and runs toward it's center she sees Firarra standing there, with Nightcrest also running toward Firarra.

"Wayward" cried Firarra and Nightcrest.

"Firarra! Nightcrest!" All three summon their Keyblade's as three large Flayer appear and join together to create a giant Flayer.

A few moments of magic attack, combo moves and the Flayer attacks back and body parts been defeated they charge at the body as Nightcrest calls out for Firarra "Firarra!" and Firarra calls out for Wayward "Wayward! Now" and Wayward shouts back ready to end this "let's do this!" All three jump into the air. Nightcrest attacks first by flying and strike down the Flayer, followed by Firarra and Wayward attacking the giant Flayer together. The Flayer fades away.

"We got'em" said Firarra claiming their victory.

"We made a great team" smiled Nightcrest.

"Sure do. Oh yeah! I got you these tickets" Wayward pulls out three tickets that read 'Vena Town Passport' on their fronts.

"For what?" Firarra ask.

"Lifetime passes to Vena Town" Wayward gives one to both of them "She said to. She said to take two grown-ups."

"You mean us? asked Nightcrest as she and Firarra laughed "Listen to me, Wayward...We need to get you home."

"It's okay, Nightcrest. Trust me, that Black Pony in the black suit is history. She'll never bad-mouth Firarra again."

Firarra gasps and grabs Wayward's shoulder "You saw the Black Pony?"

"Uh, Y-yeah?" Wayward acts confused.

"Vorion...Wayward. You let Nightcrest take you home" Firarra demand her to let Nightcrest home but Wayward does not want to and she does not want to be abandoned by her own friends again "No way. Ah wanna go with you guys."

"You can't. We have a dangerous task ahead of us. I don't want you to get hurt."

"what is this dangerous task, Firarra? It doesn't sound like what the Master told you to do" Nightcrest asked while she raised an eyebrow.

"It might be a different route, but I'm fighting the flames that it is inside of me."

"I'm not so sure. I've been to the same places as you and I've seen what you've done. You shouldn't put yourself so close to it." Then Wayward starts to talk and she was shocked that Firarra would never do such a thing like that "Listen to yourself, Nightcrest. Firarra would never..."

"You mean you've been watching me? Is that what he said to do? The Master's orders?" Firarra talks angrily and for what he was doing that wasn't he heard what the Master has ordered from Nightcrest and she said "She was only..."

After a short silence Wayward began to speak "Nightcrest..."

"I get it, I understand now for all you have done Nightcrest. So be it" Firarra turns to leave.

"Firarra!" Firarra stops and looks back.

"Stay where you are! I'm on my own now, okay?" Firarra starts walking again but Nightcrest tries to tell him that the Master to distrust him "Firarra, please! Listen! The Master has no reason to distrust you, really! She was just worried." But the bad thing is that Firarra is ignoring for what she said and he was gone.

"You're awful, Nightcrest" said Wayward in sadness.

"So now you know the truth. But the Master loves Firarra, and you know that too" said Nightcrest.

After a short silence Wayward began to speak again to Nightcrest "Nightcrest... Now that you're a Keyblade Master, you've let it go to your head. I'm gonna go find Firarra." She starts running after Firarra and leave Nightcrest behind.

Wayward runs into the town square and sees a young filly Alicorn with purple, indigo and white striped hair being attacked by Flayers "run!" Wayward shouted as she summons her Keyblade and the filly runs off.

After the battle, Princess Celestia showed up and searching for her niece "Cadance, where are you? Answer me?" Then suddenly Cadance comes walking up from behind Wayward "Ah, there you are. Didn't I warn you not to wander off?" Celestia approaches Cadance and the turns to face Wayward "I see we owe you our thanks. I have done my best to look after my little niece...since her poor parents are not here to do it."

"Oh, you're on your own huh?" said Wayward as she felt bad about Cadance.

"Young one, could you state your name please?" Princess Celestia asked as Wayward stood up and she introduced to her name.

"My name is Wayward Wind, call me Wayward."

"Well Wayward, it is my honour to thank you for keeping Princess Cadance into harm’s way. I would like to present to you more defence into your heart" Celestia’s horn had started glowing and then magic came out and went into Wayward’s body increasing her defence. Wayward opened her eyes and she felt strong than she looks.

"Wow...I feel even stronger than usual" smiled Wayward.

"Now you have capable to stand for your enemies from protecting my niece Wayward, showing your strength to your determination" said Princess Celestia as Wayward began to blush and bringing honour to the Princess. She lifts her hoof to hide her mouth with an embarrassing smile on her face.

Then she realize that she tries to find her friend so she asked her "...oh your highness, I'm looking for a friend of mine. He's a tall stallion dressed kinda like me...have you seen him?"

"Hmm... Perhaps I did see him in the Outer Streets. Just follow this path" she points out to the Outer Streets and Wayward thank her for this.

"Thank you, your majesty for everything" Wayward starts to run off while Celestia flies off with Cadance.

Meanwhile she is running through the Outer Streets where she spots him "Firarra" she called and he turns around and he saw Wayward comes running towards him "Take me with you!" she asked.

"I can't do that, Wayward."

"Why, not?"

"I just...When I really need you, Wayward, I know you'll be there."

Wayward Wind smiles and laughs "Well, why wouldn't I? You're my friend."

"Yeah. You're right. Thanks, Wayward." Firarra taps the guard ring on his right shoulder for his armor to appear. He hops onto his Keyblade glider and flies off into a portal to the Orbit's Between and then she heard Firarra's voice.

"I just...When I really need you, Wayward, I know you'll be there."

"I have to tell Nightcrest" she started to run off and find Nightcrest around town.

Back in the town square Wayward sees Nightcrest and runs over to her "Nightcrest!" she called.

"Wayward. Were you able to find him?" Nightcrest asked.

"Yeah, but... He's gone" said Wayward while looking down to the ground.

"Right."

After a silence.

"Then I can't stay here."

"Let me go with you, Nightcrest."

"No, Wayward. Do as I say and go home" said Nightcrest as Wayward looks down and began to cry.

"Why won't you let me?"cried Wayward.

"I don't want to put you in harm's way" she puts her hoof on her shoulder "You understand, right?" she let go of Wayward shoulder and she dons her armor and left her behind.

Flashback

We hear wooden swords hitting and then see Wayward being knocked down in the Forecourt of the Land of Exodus "Giving up already? C'mon, Wayward. I thought you were stronger than that" said Firarra.

Nightcrest starts to cheer for her "Wayward, you almost had him. Just try it again!"

"Woah woah woah, you're taking her side now?" said Firarra as Wayward shakes her head, picks her wooden sword back up and charges at Firarra. Later Wayward and Firarra sit on the wall and Nightcrest sat on top of the ruined column of the forecourt, Wayward holding her wooden sword. Firarra looks at Wayward and he noticed that she is sweating, there were a few sweat drops coming out of her forehead "Wayward. You see all those sweats on your forehead?"

"Each one of those is proof you're learning" said Nightcrest.

"You're trying too hard to move your body" said Firarra as he picks up his wooden Keyblade "You need to learn to let your body move you. Right?" Firarra stands up and clears his throat and said "In your hoof, take this blade. And so long as you have the makings, then through this simple act of taking, it's wielder you shall one day be made."

With that speech that he did it made Nightcrest laugh "(Laughs) What's THAT about? Who went and made you Master?"

"Being a Keyblade Master is all I've dreamed about" said Firarra.

"Well, you're not the only one" said Nightcrest.

"I know. You, me, and Wayward all share the same dream" Firarra holds out his wooden Keyblade and Wayward touches the blade.

Flashback Ends

Meanwhile Wayward sits in the town square holding Firarra's wooden Keyblade. She starts to flip it but after a few successful flips she drops it. A turquoise filly with a rainbow mane passing by. The filly rainbow maned girl stops and picks up the wooden Keyblade and sees Wayward looking so sad.

"Does this belong to you?" asked Rainbow Dash and  Wayward ignores the question and Rainbow Dash walks toward Wayward, flipping the Keyblade in her hoof "hey, I believe this is yours" Rainbow offers the wooden Keyblade and Wayward began to let down a tear "Hey, why are you so upset? Did I do something wrong?"

Then Wayward look up to her and then she hold her sorrow and spoke up "(sniff) No. Nothing’s wrong, It’s okay..." suddenly Wayward started to cry, she put her face down her hooves and let out a few tears. Rainbow tries to stop her crying as she finds a way to fix it and then finally she had an idea.

"Hey don’t cry, it’s all right. Hey I got something to cheer you up, watch this" she said when she pulls out two wings and flies around in a loop. Wayward watched and she wiped a tear out of her eye "Tada! Whaddaya think?" Rainbow asked.

Wayward didn't answer when she saw Rainbow's terrific stunt flying "Not a whole lot" said Wayward.

"Well close enough. By the way I'm Rainbow Dash. What's your name?" Rainbow asked when she introduced her name as she lands down on the ground.

"Wayward Wind."

"Wayward Wind that’s a nice name" said Rainbow Dash as Wayward raised her head for realization.

"Do ya think?" she asked.

"Yeah it just I never seen you around before, you're new here right? But I’m glad I get to talk to you" said Rainbow Dash and Wayward begin to have a smile a little bit.

"That’s nice and I hope I will be able enough to be happy to somepony else" smiled Wayward as she stands up and walks up to Rainbow Dash.

"Yeah! Now we're talkin'" said Rainbow Dash

"Thank you and I believe that you make a good friend too."

"Do you wanna race against me! It'll make you happier" Wayward then shocked when she said that and then she said.

"A race? Well..." she thinks by using a hoof to her chin.

"C’mon you scared of losing?" said Rainbow as she hops back a few paces "Hope you're ready."

Wayward stands next to Rainbow Dash and take a racing stance "ready as I’ll ever be" said Wayward. Then they startd running and racing to one another.

At that moment Rainbow Dash tires out over exhausted for running as she fell to the ground "You...had enough? 'Cause I'm willing...call it a draw if you are."

"Huh? (Laughs) Right...well like its beginner’s luck I’ll say?" joked Wayward.

"Wha... Isn't this the part where ya...cheer me up or somethin'? 'You're just havin' a bad day.' or...'That's what you get for pullin' your punches!' Some friend" said Rainbow as she lays down and rest her hooves on the back of her neck.

"Oh, you mean I was supposed to be dishonest" said Wayward

"You see what I gotta put up with? Sure hope you don't have friends like you."

"Huh?" Wayward wondered  and then the two ponies laugh.

Rainbow then stood up and she floats up with her wings and starts to leave "Well I have to go now. I'll see you when I see you. After all, we're friends now. Remember that, okay?

"Okay, Rainbow Dash" said Wayward and then the two ponies hugged each other and gave a good friendship to each other. As they let go Wayward waves goodbye to Rainbow Dash when she heads for cloudsdale.

Wayward stood there and thought about being a good friend to be "Must be nice...knowin' who your friends are."

Vena Town

Wayward walks into town and looks around then...

"Tada! Wearing the mask of peace and hope...comes the fearless defender and hero of this town! It is me...Captain Righteo!"

Wayward looks confused when she saw a stallion that is wearing a weird outfit and came out of nowhere "huh? Umm..."

"Young lady! Do my hero-senses detect that you got troubles? Just say the word, and Captain Righteo will make all your problems disappear!"

"Uh...uh... Wh-who, me? I'm just trying to make some friends...never mind, forget it" said Wayward acting all shy and confused.

"Don't be intimidated by my magnificence. Go on and spit out the beans. Then...remember to vote Captain R."

"Err...vote?" she wonders

"Oh! Well, uh, forget that. How can I help? That's the only reason I'm here" asked Captain Righteo.

She puts a hoof on her chin and think, then look around the town and she realized that their are decerated for some reason "Hmm... I know! Tell me about your town. Everything's so festive. Is it always like this?"

"Huh? That's it...nothin' else? Well, the festivities are on account of the Special Festival...which is why I've made sure there's carnival stuff all over town."

Then Wayward ask "Really? Like what?"

"You gotta see it for yourself. Wouldn't be much of a dream if I just told you. And girl, don't you go forgetting...Captain Righteo is the one who solved all your problems. That would be Righteo with a R" said Captain Righteo as he leaves.

"Uh, sure. I got it, Captain Righteo" said Wayward.

Later on Wayward explores the city and then she saw a cream coloured fur, a bright blue and yellow striped mane and cherry coloured eyed filly named Flurry.

"Oh dear! Now we can't open the ice cream shop!" said Flurry standing next to some kind of machine with her filly friend name Bellen' Blue and Mayor Rose.

"Trouble? Rescue is on the way!" said Captain Righteo as he runs towards them.

"A festival, huh? Well, maybe I can make some new friends" said Wayward as she approaches the four at the machine.

"Well, if it ain't the last pony Captain Righteo saved. I'm afraid you'll have to get in line. I'm working on another catastrophe here for these fellas...Flurry and Bellen' Blue, my good friends" said Captain Righteo as he was carrying on trying to find out what is going on with the machine. Mayor Rose felt a little down and she actually call it a catastrophe and the two fillies agrees with her and all what Flurry wants was to impress Mayor Rose that she can make her own ice cream recipe to everypony in town, then Captain Righteo told them "I'm 100% positive you're the victims of sabotage!"

"Not even close! Quit making stuff up. It's just the ice cream machine. Professor Cog left it for us...but we can't figure out how it works 'cause it's so complicated. Aw, we're sorry, Mayor Rose. We wanted you to be the first to try our special recipe ice cream" said Flurry.

"Oh you girls, it was very sweet of you to think of me" said Mayor Rose.

"Well, we tried" said Bellen' Blue.

Then Captain Righteo showed up again and said "Say no more. Leave it to me...one bowl of ice cream comin' right up!"

"You're just gonna make a mess. Leave it alone, Dusky Dimmer!" shouted Flurry as she and Bellen' Blue trying to protect the achine from him

"That's Captain Righteo!" shouted Captain Righteo and then  suddenly there are a lot of scoops of ice cream all over the stage "this machine is busted. It just needs a good poundin'..."

"It does not!" shouted Mayor Rose.

"Hey, do you think I could give it a shot?" Wayward asked.

"No, if Captain Righteo can't fix it, there ain't nothin' you can do, girl."

"Maybe not, but there's no harm in trying" said Wayward.

"Yeah! And better you than him. Here you go. These are the directions for the machine" said Flurry as she gave Wayward directions for the machine.

After Wayward successfully uses the ice cream machine...

"Mmm, how yummy. What a wonderful treat! I don't think I've ever had such delicious ice cream. Thank you...uh, oh, oh dear..." said Mayor Rose asfter she ate some of that delicious  ice cream from the machine she tries to stat her name and then Wayward introduced to them.

"Oh, Wayward Wind. Just Wayward is fine."

"Well, thank you, Wayward Wind"

"Way to go, Wayward! I see... We had to push this thingamajig the other way. Hey, I just got an idea! We could let our customers make up their own favorite flavors of ice cream!" said Bellen' Blue.

"Not with that machine! Well...the girl might have got it to work this one time. But junk like that needs to get junked!" said Captain Righteo.

"Don't even think about it Dusky Dimmer!" shouted Mayor Rose as the rest protect the machine against him and Captain Righteo looks very mad and decided to run off and said "Fine. But Captain Justice will return!" so he started to run off and Wayward seemed confused about Captain Righteo.

"About 'Captain Righteo' you said his name is Dusky Dimmer?" Wayward ak to Mayor Rose.

"Yeah, he's the biggest troublemaker in town! I bet he's just callin' himself Captain Righteo'cause he wants to win the Million Stars Award" said Flurry.

"What's the Million Stars Award?" Wayward asked.

"That's one of the Festival events. Everypony votes for who they think is the town's most exemplary citizen" Mayor Rose explains.

"I get it. So that's what he meant by 'vote'" said Wayward.

"And if you win the award, ya get a really cool prize!" said Bellen' Blue.

"Oh, it's just a small token, nothing elaborate. The event is supposed to help us appreciate how much we all look out for each other every day. That's how the award works" said Mayor Rose.

"Well, that sounds nice enough..."

"Dusky just wants to get his grubby hooves on the prize. And he knows that noponies gonna vote for him if he puts his own name on the ballot! But noponies fooled!" Bellin' Blue laughed.

Wayward then had a smile on her face and then she realized something "Wish somepony was lookin' out for me."

Vena Town - Million Stars Award

Wayward stands in front of a stage with the rest of the ponies in Vena Town and one of them chat about who is gonna win or not "Who do you think's gonna win this year's Million Stars Award?"

"I hope it's the guy I voted for!" said Hue.

"I voted for the guy, too!" said Charmy

Mayor Rose walked up to the stage and said "Hello, everypony, it's time to begin the main event of our Festival the Million Stars Award presentation. Oh this is very exciting for each and every one of you! This year we have multiple winners. The Million Stars Award goes to... Wayward Wind, Nightcrest, and Firarra. All three of you!"

Everypony cheers to Wayward "when were Nightcrest and Firarra here?" she wondered where her friends are.

"What do you mean!?" shouted Dusky Dimmer when he runs past Wayward and jumped onto the stage and encounters Mayor Rose "There's gotta be a mistake. Everypony voted for Captain Righteo. I made sure! Go on, tell her!" Dusky looks around as everyone remains silent "better try the other one..." he runs off the stage, and when he returns into a different outfit "The rogue racer, Captain Dim!"

Then suddenly everypony turns their backs to Dusky and Mayor Rose said to him angrily "Dusky Dimmer, we counted the votes very carefully. Wayward Wind, Nightcrest, and Firarra won. Oh, Dusky, I think you tried to do something good to the village, but you were doing it for the wrong ways. Still, a couple of ponies must have thought you had goodness and faith in you, because you actually got a few votes. They knew you were looking out for them."

"Big whoop! I don't need their lousy votes. Just cough up my prize!" Dusky reaches for Mayor Rose.

"Dusky Dimmer! They voted for you because they believe in you and care about you. How could you look down on that? I've tried to forgive a lot of things you've done, but this is too much. Now you've finally crossed the line." said Mayor Rose feeling a disappointment on her face.

"Like that matters to me. Besides, what are you gonna do about it?" asked Dusky Dimmer.

"I'm going to let you calm down for a while. Security!" The Mayor's security guards walk onto the stage, they all surround him and then hoof cuffed him and took him away "Hey! Let me go! What!? You can't...no...hey!"

"Now, shall we continue the ceremony? Would the three winners, Wayward Wind, Nightcrest, and Firarra, please come up and join me on the stage?" said Mayor Rose as Wayward walked up onto the stage and it appears that Firarra and Nightcrest didn't show up for the ceremony "Oh no, it looks like our other two winners couldn't make it here to be with us today."

"They both already left" said Wayward.

"Perhaps you would accept the award on their behalf. After all, you've been so kind to so many here at the Festival. So now, I hereby present the Million Stars Award...as a token of our gratitude. Congratulations!"

Everypony cheers to Wayward and she starts to blush and said "Aww thanks."

"As for an extra treat, we've giving you something special...an ice cream flavor just for you. Double Bubble Blue ice cream!" Mayor Rose passes the Ice cream to Wayward and then she heard everypony at the background cheering for her to try it out and see if it tastes any good. Wayward looks at Mayor Rose, she nods, and he takes a bite of the ice cream and then Mayor Rose asked "well, what do you think?"

When Wayward finish her first bite and she thought to herself this was tasty and then she made a good comment to the Mayor and said "Mmm, wow! It's great! The best flavors I've ever had."

"We are all very glad that you're enjoying it" smiled Mayor Rose.

Everypony cheers again.

Hercules

Wayward's walking through Thebes when a satyr runs behind her and towards a wall "Oy, the kid's relentless!" said the Satyr as Wayward approaches him.

"Hey, whatcha doin' there?" said Wayward as th satyr turned, jumps up and screams.

"I told ya, I'm booked solid. N-O spells forget it!" the satyr said in a unpolite way and makes Wayward confused as she crossed her legs "Huh? And who in Halicarnassus are you? Can't you see I'm busy?"

Then suddenly a boy comes running over to the satyr and said "Hey, Phil! I'm all signed up! Phil!"

"All right, Herc, I hear ya! Now would ya keep it down already" said Phil.

"Aha!" The soldier runs towards them. "Okay, 'fess up. I asked around, and everybody says you're the guy. The trainer of heroes!"

"True heroes!" said Hercules and Wayward asked them and to Phil that they can teach that and Zack said "course he can. C'mon, Phil, please. I really wanna be a hero" he begged to phil.

"Look, we've been through this...I got two words for you...student-teacher ratio!" said Phil.

Wayward counts with her hoof "One, two...um?"

"I already got my hands full with this one. C'mon, Herc "Herc and Phil start to walk away.

"I'm low-maintenance, I swear!" Zack shouted as then the Flayers appear in front of Herc and Phil making Wayward summon her Keyblade and charge right at them and Zack did the same as he followed her to the Flayers. As they got into a fighting stance Zack told Phil to watch him and he'll show him what he's made of and also Herc joins in and fights alongside with them.

Meanwhile Wayward and the soldier destroy two Flayers. Herc loses his balance and then destroys a Flayer he felt sighed and everyone gathered and giggled "Okay...change of plans. The Games are comin' up. So, I'm gonna watch both of your matches...then I'll decide which of you rookies I wanna train" said Phil

"Sweet! Thank you, thank you! I'm gonna go sign up right now" Zack starts to run towards the Coliseum.

"The Games, huh? Sounds fun!" said Wayward as she starts to run starts to run toward the Coliseum, too. But then Phil turns and stop her and said "Sorry buddy, Captain Eager there just took the last spot."

Wayward stops and looks disappointed.

"I don't understand! Phil, I thought you were my trainer!" said Herc.

"You wanna be a true hero, Herc? Then you're gonna hafta go out there and show me that everything I've taught you so far is gonna pay off. Oh...and no more trainin' sessions for a while. Wouldn't be fair if I helped you and not him" said Phil as he starts walking toward the Coliseum.

"But Phil..." Herc tries to say to Phil and there were no response since he gone off to the Colliseum and he felt dissapointed and then suddenly Wayward walk towards him to cheer him up.

"Hey, cheer up! So you gotta fight a couple of matches, no big deal. I'm Wayward Wind. Want me to help you train?" said Wayward.

"You'd really do that for me?" said Herc and Wayward nodded yes "Thanks, Wayward Wind. I'm Hercules. Herc for short."

"Just call me Wayward. You're gonna do fine" then the two shake hand and hoof.

"Thanks. I'm gonna head over to the Coliseum and warm up. Meet me in the vestibule, okay?" said Herc as he heads over the Coliseum.

Wayward and Herc are training in the Coliseum by breaking urns. Wayward stops and looks into the stands where he sees Phil watching them. Phil then turns and exits the Coliseum. Meanwhile Herc's walking through the vestibule when...

"You want to become a true hero, huh?" Herc stops and turns around and it was Wayward.

"More than anything. See, my father is Zeus, the king of the gods up on Olympus" said Herc and then Wayward was amazed when he heard that Herc, was a god. But he said he is still mortal. He told her that when he was a baby, someone stole hime from his parents and then figured out how to take away his godhood. Wayward was curious about that and she asked about this true hero thing and Herc's only way is to become a god again. If he becomes a true hero, he can rejoin his father and head back to Olympus. Wayward was amazed and she guess that really got his work cut out for him. Then Herc asked her about how did she came here in the first place and she answered to him that she was trying to make some friends and then Herc says she already done that, she already met some friends like Herc. Wayward then smiled and says "You bet, Herc." Then suddenly The soldier enters the vestibule from town. Phil enters from the Coliseum and said "All right, you bunch of rookies. It's time we go over the rules of the Games, so listen up. All the matches are divided into two brackets...one for the East and one for the West. The winners from each bracket go head-to-head in the championship match. Now, I signed you two up up for the West...'cause they already got a heavy-hittin' contender cleanin' up over there in the East bracket. And if you wanna beat him, you're gonna hafta hustle in there. Now move those sandals." Phil, Herc and the soldier enter the Coliseum.

"Heavy-hitting contender?" said Wayward as Herc does the 'c'mon' thing with his arm and Wayward got his attention so she started following them into the Coliseum.

During the Games, Herc takes down a Bruiser Flayers, the soldier takes down some Floods, Herc takes down a Buckle Bruiser, the soldier takes down 3 Thornbites. After the matches Herc is talking with Phil when Wayward walks over to them.

"Guess we made it" said Wayward.

"Yeah. And it's all thanks to you, Wayward" said Herc by thanking to her new friend.

"Good! The other kid'll be happy to hear that" said Phil.

"No! I need you most of all, Phil! How else am I gonna become a hero?"

"Hmph! 'Bout time ya got it!" said the soldier as Phil walks off and the soldier comes running over to Herc and Wayward. "Whoever wins, no hard feelings" he holds out his hand. Herc grabs it and they shake.

"Course not. Holdin' a grudge wouldn't be very heroic."

"Hey, just making sure. You're not a hero yet."

"True" laughed Herc as he and the soldier enter the arena and prepare for their match. Herc charges at the soldier and tries to hit him, but the soldier jumps back. The soldier then jumps toward Herc to attack him. Wayward is watching from the stands.

"This is really close" said Wayward, but then she realized that she remembers the time where she saw Firarra and Nightcrest sparing. Suddenly Phil shows up in a panic and warned them about something that is happening and said "Hey! We got trouble! There's monsters loose in town and if they gate-crash the Games, you can forget about the match."

"Real monsters?" Herc asked when he turns around.

"We have to stop 'em" said the soldier when Wayward stood up on her backlegs she summons her Keyblade and she tells that she can handle the monsters to her and also the match is too important. When she said that she runs out of the Coliseum and into the town. Wayward runs in the town to find a few Flayers flying down towards her.

"You won't get past me! Huh!?" Then she notice that there is a huge swarm of Flayers coming and looks like there are 100 or more and there is no way that she can handle this once on her own, then Herc shows up and joins in the battle with her. "Herc! What about your match?"

"Forget the match. No way I could let my friend fight alone. 'Cause I'm a hero! I mean, ya know...I'm gonna be one. Come on, let's finish this together!" So they took the fighting stance as they work together as a team to fight the swarm of Flayers.

After they get rid of the Flayers Wayward released her Keyblade and turns and look towards Herc, she look down with a sad look and apologize that she made him lose the match. But then Herc wasn't sad or angry at all, she doesn't need to apologize for anything, it was totally his decision to come and fight alongside her. Then suddenly a Flayer is moving towards and to attack Herc, luckily the soldier showed up by jumping into the air and defeats the Flayer with it's own sword "What, you didn't save any for me? I've set my sights on being a hero, too. I just don't run as fast, that's all" he said.

"So you both threw the match? Who won, then?" Wayward ask and Herc said to her that he left the match first so it can'tbe him. Then the soldier was only seconds behind him "Hey! I never said I'd coach the winner. All I said was I'd see the match, then decide. Look, bein' a hero takes more than just muscle. Ya gotta have heart and care about people. And sure, you both get high marks for that. But this time, only one of you cared fast enough...and that makes all the difference" said Phil when he walks towards the three.

"Then that means" Wayward realized.

Then the soldier went down in a bummer "Oh man, I was this close! Uhh... Well, that's life. I never really introduced myself."  The soldier takes off his helmet "The name's Zack. Congratulations, Herc."

Herc says thanks to Zack and Phil said "Yeah well, we'll see if you're still thankin' him when I'm through with ya. You got a long road ahead of ya, champ."

Then Zack starts to do his squats "Hey...don't count me out. I've still got plenty of big dreams to go with my lousy luck!" Zack and Herc laugh.

Wayward walks over to Phil "Okay, be honest...You weren't really gonna stop training Herc, were you?"

"Of course not. I know that kid's gonna go the distance. But he was stuck in a rut. He just needed a little incentive. It's Wayward, right? Well, thanks to you, Herc here has really shaped up. I owe ya."

Wayward cross her legs and she's glad that she made a really good friend. Someone to share a good laugh with, like Firarra and Nightcrest. Then suddenly she turns and started to walk, Herc looks and notice that Wayward is leaving "You're leaving?" he asked.

"Yeah. My journey's not over yet."

"But you'll visit, right?"

"I'll stop by once you're a true hero"

"Stop by once me and him are both heroes!" said Zack doing his squats again.

"Oh, so you mean never come back?" Wayward joked and then Zack come close to the side of her put her right arm around Wayward's neck.

"Hey, watch it!" Zack laughed as Wayward nudges him and then he puts arm around her again and they smiled and everyone all laughed.

Orbit's Between

Meanwhile Wayward travelling through the Orbit's Between, then suddenly she saw an object shoots past her. "Whoa! A Flayer!" she shouted as the giant Flayer turns around and passes back by Wayward even closer this time, trying to knock her off on her Keyblade Glider "Try that again." Wayward fights the Flayer on her Keyblade Glider.

Suddenly when a few attacks that Wayward causes to the Flayer was finally defeated and she smiled when she did that, but the bad thing is that the Flayer fell of course and hits Wayward’s glider and she got thrown off. Wayward fell and screaming through the Orbit's Between.

Peter Pan

We see a twinkling light moving around through the night sky, then a larger light shooting through the sky to disappear in the distance. We see Tinker Bell, the source of the twinkling light, appear and head in the direction the other light went.

Meanwhile we see Arctic looking around in the Indian camp, when a dark portal opens in front of him. He turns around and sees Vorion "move it" she said. Then suddenly we see everything black and it appears that Wayward must of fell from the sky unconscious and then she hear some voices and there were kids talking to one another, asking about what that thing is and one of them says 'it ain't moving.' Wayward opens her eyes a little and sees a fairy in green in front of her. The green fairy named Tinker Bell start to throws her leg back. Then Tinker Bell kick's Wayward rolling her over and sending herself rolling in the air. Wayward looks up and sees the two boys staring down at her and a boy named Slightly asked her who she is. Wayward stands up and introduced to them "Name's Wayward Wind. But everyone just calls me Wayward. Hmm...guess, when I sat down to rest, I must've fallen asleep." Then another boy named Cubby asked her where'd she come from and Wayward is about to answer but it was interrupted as Tinker Bell flies by and starts pulling on the ear of the first boys fox hood "All right, all right, we're goin'!" shouted Slightly.

"Hey, where are you guys off to?" Wayward asked.

"Tink saw a shooting star and we're gonna go hunt it down!" said Cubby.

Wayward was surprised about the shooting star, then she asked if she can come along too. Slightly nodded yes but he told her that she would agree to follow them. Cubby pointed out the path that way by the Indian Camp.

"Ready, guys? Forward march!" Slightly orders them as they march and Wayward scratch her head of confusion and said 'kay!' as she follow them towards the Indian camp. They come out of the jungle in a clearing with a hollow tree in the middle. Then someone crows. Wayward looks around and a boy in green flies overhead.It was Peter Pan, he flies down and slowly passes by Wayward "Who do we have here? Never seen you before" he said.

"I'm Wayward Wind. Call me Wayward" Wayward introduced.

"Well...if you say so" said Peter Pan as he lands to the ground and walks over to the Lost Boys "Ten-shun! Now then, men. I don't suppose you'd wanna capture some real pirate treasure?"

"Real pirate treasure!?" concerned Cubby.

"Well, guess who caught sight of Hook right when he was stashing his treasure? Whaddaya say we sneak in and grab it?" said Peter Pan and the Lost Boys seems excited and then  Tinker Bell flies over and kicks both Lost Boys in the head. She flies over and bounces up and down in front of Peter Pan trying to get his attention "Tinker Bell, what's gotten into you?"

"We were all supposed to go hunt for a shooting star together" said Wayward.

"Forget that. Pirate treasure is way more fun. Tink, you're comin' with us!" said Peter Pan as Tinker Bell gets mad and flies away from him "Well, that's no way to respond to an invitation. C'mon, Wayward, you're a better sport than her, right?"

"I'd love to join you, but...first I wanna find the shooting star" Wayward begged. Peter Pan looks surprised. Wayward walks off in one direction and the Lost Boys and an airborne Peter Pan go in the other.

Wayward and Tinker Bell enter the Indian camp where Wayward spots something on the ground "Arctic's Port Emerald" she said as they run towards it they hear laughing so Wayward stopped and looked.

"An emerald and a pixie! Must be my lucky day" said Captain Hook holding in his right hand and Arctic’s Port Emerald is in the hook where his left hand should be.

"Let Tinker Bell go!" she Wayward as she summons her keyblade.

"Ha! One of Peter Pan's brats. Well, tell that cowardly sparrow...if he wants his precious Tinker Bell back, he'd best meet me at Mermaid Lagoon!" Captain Hook and Smee run off with Tinker Bell and the Port Emerald. Wayward told them to stop until then Flayers appeared and surrounding her.

"Move out the way" shouted Wayward.

After Flayers attack she tries to chase after the two men after she gets rid of the Flayers. She looks left and right there were no sign of them "I lost them" she looked down in disappointment. Then She looks up and sees the sun twinkling through a palm tree.

Flashback

We see Wayward and Nightcrest sitting on the cliff at the summit of the Land of Exodus the last night they were together.

"Y'ever wonder what what stars are? Where light comes from?" asked Wayward

We fade out and then into Firarra, Wayward Wind, and Nightcrest all laughing on the same night.

Flashback Ends

"Look out below!" Wayward looks and sees Peter Pan coming down toward him. She told Peter Pan that Tinker Bell's been pixie-napped and Peter's not happy "I'm too late. Hooks gonna pay for this!"

"He said to meet him at Mermaid Lagoon" said Wayward as she gave him the destination.

"Gotta be an ambush. Hmph, that old codfish thinks he's clever" said Peter as he took off Wayward stopped him and she's going too. Then Peter told her to hurry and he hopes she can keep up with him and she nodded. The two head for Mermaid Lagoon.

We see Wayward and Peter Pan running through Mermaid Lagoon through a telescope held by Smee on Captain Hook's ship "Peter Pan ahoy! Man the Long Tom, and..." He plugs his ears. "Fire!" A cannonball is fired. Peter Pan and Wayward are looking around when the cannonball hits the ground behind them. Wayward summons her Keyblade.

"On the water! Over there!" Peter Pan points to the ship. Another cannonball is fired. Wayward and Peter Pan run from where it hits and Tinker Bell flies through the dust. "Tink, it's you! And you're all right!" Tinker Bell talks to Peter Pan. "What? A strange fellah with a funny-lookin' sword has..." The ground shakes from another cannonball "Hold on, I gotta stop that cannon!"

"Okay. I'll go after Hook!" said Wayward.

"Right. Tink, if you would" Tinker Bell circles around Wayward a few times, covering her with pixie dust.

"Wow! What is this?" said Wayward as she covered with sparkles.

"It's pixie dust. Bet you feel lighter now, don'tcha?" Peter explained as him and Tinker Bell fly off to the ship.

Captain Hook stands on the main island near Skull Rock, tapping his foot. He puts his hand to his ear and listens for cannon fire "Alas, and so passeth a worthy opponent. To think that his would be such an inglorious end."He sighs and then begins laughing "At last, that scurvy brat will never trouble me again!"

"I wouldn't be so sure of that, Hook!" Captain Hook turns around and sees Wayward.

"Swoggle me eyes! No, don't tell me!" Captain Hook looks through his telescope to see Peter Pan crowing after defeating Smee. He gets mad and throws the telescope to the ground "Blast that Peter Pan!" He jumps to a small island between him and Wayward and draws his sword. Suddenly, there's a ticking noise. Captain Hook looks around and sees the crocodile "No! Not again! S-stay away from me!" He turns around to run away.

"Not so fast!" said Wayward as she stood in front of Hook and fight against him.

Meanwhile after an overboard battle Captain Hook is knocked into the water after his fight with Wayward. After he comes back up he sees the crocodile and freaks out "Leave me alone!" Captain Hook starts to run on the water, the crocodile close behind "Help me, Smee! Smeeeeee!" he cried and Wayward started laughing.

"Ahoy! Look what we brought!" The Lost Boys are coming across the water in a boat with a chest, Peter Pan flying with them.

"It's a pirate's treasure chest!" smiled Slightly as they reach the shore and get the chest out.

"Treasure!" surprised Wayward and Peter nodded yes.

"Yup! The same chest I told ya about. We snatched it right from Hook's hiding place" Peter Pan opens the chest and it turns out it's empty "Huh? How come it's empty?"

Cubby apologized to Peter and they losted all the treasure, Wayward felt pretty bad for that "Aw, who needs it? It was prob'ly just full of dumb old jewels or doubloons or somethin' anyways."

"We could just put what we treasure in there instead...if ya wanna?" said Slightly.

"Yeah, that's perfect! Instead of fillin' it up with jewels and gold and stuff, we'll put in what's truly special to us. The real riches!" They fill it up with wooden swords, sling shot guns and bows and arrows "What are you puttin' in, Wayward?"

"I dunno..." Wayward checks her pockets and then she realized a that she still has the wooden Keyblade. She pulls it out and showed it to Peter "How 'bout this?"

"What is it?" Peter asked.

"It's...just something that one of my best friends gave me" Wayward held it into the air.

"So it's like a keepsake, huh? You sure you wanna part with somethin' that special?"

"Yup. I don't need it if I've got Firarra and Nightcrest. Our friendship and memories are still ahead."

"All right, then. Next time you visit, we'll have an even bigger chest waitin'. Enough for all those treasures and lots more."

"Okay deal" Wayward puts the wooden Keyblade into the chest and Tinker Bell flies to the chest with the Port Emerald "Oh, wait, Tink...I'm pretty sure that belongs to a friend of mine. Do you think maybe I could hang onto it?" Tinker Bell shakes her head no and tries to fly off with it.

"Now Tink!" shouted Peter as Tinker Bell stopped and hands the Port Emerald to Wayward and grabs it onto her hoof.

"Thank you" Wayward smiled as the Port Emerald starts to glow so bright that everyone covers their eyes and noticed she's gone. They looked and they can see the light zigzag into the sky.

"Don't worry, men. No matter where that light takes her...Wayward'll always have friends waitin' to meet her" said Peter and stares at the light continues into the sky.

Wayward Wind's Story Part 3 (Final)

The Mystic Tower

At The Mystic Tower we see two fillies named Blizzard Glacier and Frosty Chill sitting on the steps outside the tower and they look really worried and sad about his brother Arctic being gone for a long time now, they try not to take it seriously not to cry "gee, our brother sure has been gone for a long time now" said Blizzard Glacier and then Frosty Chill sighed "I wonder where he is." But luckily the Port Emerald's light shoots down from the sky to hit the ground, causing them to jump up. They look where the light landed, could it be him?

No it wasn't, it was Wayward laying holding the Port Emerald after the light dissipates "nope, doesn't look like him. Huh? Look! That mare got the Port Emerald that our brother borrowed!" said Blizzard.

"Brother? Oh, you must be talking about Arctic" said Wayward as she stands up "I saw him...but..." Blizzard and Frost walked over to her and push her towards the Mystic Tower "Huh? Hey, take it easy!" she exclaimed the two.

"Are we glad to see you!" said Frosty.

"Come on let's go" said Blizzard.

Meanwhile at the top of the tower Aris is sitting at her desk with Frosty, Wayward and Blizzard standing in front of her "Aris, madam! We just got a clue as to where our brother might be!"

"Ah, Wayward Wind. Zyra has told me much about you. If I am not mistaken, you were ordered to return home" said Aris.

"Well, ma'am, I..." before Wayward explains Aris stopped her there.

"No matter. Arctic has difficulty following directions, too" Wayward laughed when she said that and then Aris wants to know about Arctic's whereabouts, then Frosty sits the Port Emerald on Aris's desk. Blizzard looked at Wayward he tries to say her name but he forgot who she was. They forgot to introduce when Wayward first showed up in front of them. Frosty reminded her name to his brother and then Blizzard relieved by using a hoof to his forehead and Wayward usually go by and she had it before Tinkerbell is about to take it away and then she turned up here. Aris wants her to explain "I ran into Arctic. But we got sent flying into the light...I don't know where he went. He wasn't in the same world as the one where I found that" said Wayward.

Aris thought about Arctic, he has been hurling himself from one place to the next. That explains why she could not discern his location. Frost asked that she can, can't she? Aris nodded yes as her horn starts to glow and hold out her hooves and conjures a circle or swirling smoke. We see Arctic limping on a dusty lifeless ground in pain, covered in bruises and scratches, trying to walk. Then he falls to the ground and drops his keyblade. Everypony was shocked about whatthey seen as the image fades and the smoke disappears "What happened? Where'd he go? Is he okay?" cried Frosty. Aris feared that there is a dark and powerul force that is interfering with her magic. Then Blizzard asked her where his brother is, so he and Frosty go after him and rescue him. But she she it may not be adequate. But it doesn't matter what she said Frosty and Blizzard are confident of finding their brother and save him for all he's got. Aris sits there, closes her eyes and thinks. "I'll find him. I recognize the place we saw" said Wayward.

"If you go, we'll go with you!" said Frosty.

"No, I owe him. Arctic saved me once. And I can't risk putting his friends in danger" Frosty and Blizzard are disappointed again "Don't worry. I swear I'll bring him back safe" then they look up and smiled again.

"Very well, Wayward Wind. We will leave it to you" said Aris as Wayward shakes her head and leaves.

The Desert Lands (Return)

Wayward enters the Desert Lands and runs toward Arctic which he is unconscious. She rolls Arctic onto his back and lifts up his head "Arctic, wake up!" she tries to wake him up but it was no use, then suddenly she lead some tears out of her eyes. She cuddled up Arctic and confort him "Arctic, please!" she whispered to him.

"We meet again, my friend" a voice was heard from the background as Wayward turns her head and sees Master Xora walking toward her. She lays Arctic's head down and stands up. "Master Xora" said Wayward, then she gasp out loud, her eyes was widened and there was light glowing out of her iris. Wayward remembers herself lying on the ground at the Desert Lands and Master Xora rolling her over with his hoof. Then the night where Master Xora was going to leave her on top of the hills. Then when Master Xora left her with Master Zyra. Wayward falls to her knees holding her head. Master Xora smiles "Ah yes, so you are starting to notice...what you lost...oh, but not for good. You had to lose in order to find. Now it can all be yours again, if you only reach out and take it. Reclaim the part that left you. Clash with it! Pure light against pure darkness, to forge the ultimate key. The all-powerful χ-blade" Wayward screams and then falls forward, hitting the ground.

"Key...blade?"

"Not the Keyblades you and I wield" said Xora as he holds out his hoof and a stylized χ appears floating in it. "'χ'... A most ancient letter. Some say 'kye,' but the meaning is the same" He closes his hoof and the letter disappears "fate...A letter that spells endings." He holds his arms up and summons a dark portal above Wayward and Arctic.

"And I have the magic to forge it?" Wayward was concerned about what Xora is planning.

"Correct. Zyra knows it, too. She knows exactly what you are" Xora confirms Wayward and she gasped about Master Zyra that she knows about her "Haven't you ever wondered? Why she never granted you permission to leave her side, to grow stronger? Zyra was frightened of you. If you were to learn the truth, realize what you are...She never trusted you. Why else would she keep you within her sight at all times?" Purple lightning comes from the dark portal and strikes just in front of Wayward's face.

"Yeah. She never let me see other worlds, no matter how much I asked" said Wayward as she stands up on her legs and then Xora pushes his hoof forward and causes wind to rush at Wayward and said "You can ask her yourself. Learn the truth, and remember you have a greater purpose!" Then Wayward is thrown back and both she and Arctic are lifted into the swirling vortex of air heading into the dark portal.

Seeking the Truth

Meanwhile in the Orbit's Between Wayward is floating in space in her armor, she wakes up and grabs her head, kicking a little "What am I? What has the Master been keeping from me all this time? I have to know for sure" she thought and then she looks up and sees the Land of Exodus. Wayward flies through the Land of Exodus and enters the forecourt. She stops and looks up at the castle before deciding to move forward, and then she stops again.

"Wayward, you're alone? I thought Nightcrest would..." Master Zyra appreaches Wayward and puts her hoofs on Wayward's shoulders. Well, what matters is that you've returned. You don't belong outside this world yet. You need to stay here where you can learn..."

"In your prison!?" Wayward shouted.

"What?"

"That's your excuse...for keeping me imprisoned here, isn't it?"

"What did you hear" she asked and worried about the truth.

"That I'm supposed to be some weapon...some kind of...'χ-blade!'"

Master Zyra has a shock on her face and she knew that Xora could never let it go.

Flashback

Master Zyra remembers a day in the throne room "Wait, Xora. There is a reason the precepts bar us from such knowledge. Why do you seek the χ-blade? Would you blanket all the worlds in darkness, reduce them to nothing!?"

"But darkness did cover the world once, in history. We talked so little about the Keyblade War. It is a curious tale...and one worth exploring. They say ruin brings about creation. So what, then, would another Keyblade War bring? When the darkness falls, will we be found worthy of the precious light the legend speaks within? The χ-blade needs to be forged, and with it, the door to the Keyblade War unlocked! But once again you have it all wrong, Zyra. Darkness is a beginning, you see, not an end. At birth, every one of us emerges from darkness into a world of light, do we not?" said Master Xora.

Zyra has started to turn against him "Fool...You would risk an danger out of sheer curiosity? I will not allow it, Xora. Never with you poetic excuses If words won't dissuade you, only one thing will" as Xora turns to leave Master Zyra summons her Keyblade and charges at Master Xora to attack him. But Xora summons his Keyblade and fires to blasts of darkness at Master Zyra, hitting her in the face and causing her to collapse. Master Xora, with a dark aura, approaches the fallen Master Zyra who is now on the ground. "That power... Has the darkness taken you, Xora?"

Xora nodded and it was not her concern, so he starts to leave.

Flashback Ends

"I failed. I had the chance to stop him and couldn't do it. But I will not fail again" Master Zyra summons her Keyblade and takes a fighting stance and Wayward stood back and said "Master! What are you..."

"The χ-blade has no place in this or any world. Xora has made his purpose clear...and I am left with no choice. Forgive me...but you must exist no more.

Zyra focuses energy around the tip of her Keyblade and swings it forward towards Wayward releasing the energy in strands that look like chains. Wayward closes her eyes.

"Wayward!" Firarra shouted and luckily he blocked Zyra's attack.

"What?"

"Master, have you gone mad?"

"Firarra! I command you to step aside!" Zyra ordered.

"No!"

"You will not heed your master."

"I won't let you!"

"Why do all my attempts to reach you fail? If you don't have it in your heart to obey...then you will have to share Wayward Wind's fate." Zyra sheds a tear on her eye and then attacks Firarra. Wayward tried to stop him from battling against each other.

"Stop it, Firarra! She's right..." Wayward shouted.

"Quiet!" Firarra refused to Wayward and made her very upset.

"Firarra...why?"

Then Zyra performs an attack that throws Firarra and Wayward backwards. Firarra lands on his feet but Wayward doesn't. Firarra picks up Wayward while Zyra focuses another attack. Firarra focuses and begins to be surrounded in a flaming aura "You may be my Master. But I will not...let you hurt my friend!" Firarra's eyes has turned to flaming red.

"Has the flames taken you, Firarra?" Zyra asked as Firarra opens a portal and throws Wayward to it. Wayward got up and it was too late.

"Wait, Firarra!" The portal closes and Zyra and Firarra face each other. The portal spits Wayward out at the city of the street of Canterlot "wait, Firarra!" But before Wayward can reach the portal, it closes. Wayward's upset, but reaches her hoof to her shoulder to try and activate her armor.

"Leaving so soon?" Wayward turns around and sees Vorion on the roof.

"I'm through with you!" said Wayward as she stars to walk off.

"Well, I'm just getting started with you. You're strong enough now to fulfil your purpose" said Vorion as she summons her Keyblade "So what are you waiting for? Join with me right here and now. Become the χ-blade."

Then Wayward stopped and think "No, I won't do it. He told me, the only way the χ-blade can be forged is if you and me fight. Well guess what? I'm not fighting."

"You used to be too broken to talk back"

Then Wayward's eyes was widened and ended in weakness. She starts to grab her head with her hooves in pain.

Flashback

Wayward remembers when the time she was surrounded by Neoshadows during her training with Mater Xora in the Desert Lands. Wayward's mane was loose and she had no guard rings during that time. She looked around at them. Afraid. "Please don't do this, Master. I'm not strong enough" she cried.

Then more Neoshadows appear and move towards her as Xora said "No. It is because you are trying to hold it in. Let the dark impulses waken in the pit of your heart. Release them, here and now! Sharpen your fear into rage. You must! If you do not let the storm within you run its course, it will wipe you from the face of the world, make no mistake! Do it. Embrace the darkness. Produce for your Master the χ-blade!" The Neoshadows attack Wayward. When they leave Wayward lays face down in the dirt. Master Xora walks over to her "Really? You would rather die than use the power? Feckless neophyte" he places his hoof on Wayward and rolls her onto her back. "If I must...I will extract the darkness from within you myself." Master Xora summons his Keyblade and holds it over Wayward's heart. A beam shoots from it to Wayward's heart, causing a piece of it to be unlocked and extracted. It rises into the air where it is surrounded with darkness. After the darkness fades from around it we see Vorion where the heart fragment was. Wayward's eyes glaze over and Vorion floats down and lands next to her. "Empty creature from Wayward Wind...to you, the name Vorion shall be given."

"Yes, Master" said Vorion obeying to her new Master.

Flashback Ends

Meanwhile back in the streets of Canterlot Wayward is still remembering, still holds her head in pain. Vorion then released her Keyblade and she left with no choice but to tell her that she'll give Wayward a reason to fight against her. With that Wayward stopped moaning in pain as she looked up to Vorion "Come and find me...at the one and only place to spawn the χ-blade...the Keyblade Graveyard. There you're gonna see me choke the life out of Firarra and Nightcrest. Then we'll see how long you can play the pacifist." Then she summons a dark portal.

"Wait" Wayward shouted and it was too late Vorion steps through and is gone. Wayward pulls out her Crystal Charm and looks at it "Firarra, Nightcrest...I swear I'll put an end to this." Wayward summons her Keyblade and opens a portal to the Orbit's Between and flies through it on her Keyblade Glider.

The Keyblade Graveyard

Wayward enters the Keyblade Graveyard and looks around at the scars that have been left in the landscape. She holds her hoof out in front of her and summons her Keyblade "friends forever." She releases her Keyblade and walks through the area. A moment later after minutes of hiking through the canyons we see Firarra enters an area where a crossroad is made by many Keyblades that stick lifelessly out of the ground. He looks and sees Nightcrest walking towards him. Nightcrest stops when she gets near him and after a silence...

"I was told...the Master was struck down" said Nightcrest and Firarra was shcked to here that and he look down in shame.

"Yes...that's right. I was stupid and helped Xora do it. Master Zyra...she tried to hurt Wayward. I only fought because I wanted to protect her. But I was tricked. Xora set the whole thing up...all so he could awaken the darkness inside me. You were right, Nightcrest...and so was the Master. I did need to be watched. I went astray...but no more."

Nightcrest began to sigh and said "What else is darkness but hate and rage? Xora is feeding the dark fires within you--making you fight. You'll go astray again. Tell me...how does that honor our Master's memory, Firarra?"

Firarra looks away from her and sees Wayward walking towards them. When she reaches them...

"Xora wants me and Vorion to fight, and make some kind of 'χ-blade.' But the Master said we can't let that happen...and she tried to destroy me for it."

"χ-blade?" Nightcrest wondered.

"I still don't know exactly what it is. But...it really scares me. Even just the thought of it." Wayward touched her heart and Firarra come closer to her and place a hoof on the back of her neck and he tries to calm her down.

"Relax, Wayward. We're here and we're gonna take care of you" said Firarra.

"I may have to fight Vorion after all. If I do, guys...I want you to..."

"The three of us can never be torn apart, all right? I'll always find a way" then there were silence and Wayward closed her eyes in sadness and Nighcrest hold her hoof to Wayward.

"I'm asking you, as a friend...Just...put an end to me."

Nightcrest and Firarra both gasp and then a wind picks up. All three look in the same direction and see Master Xora walking towards them. Vorion comes out from behind Master Xora, walking right along with him. They both stop and then Xora said "Behold... These powerless keys used to be full of power...united with the hearts of their masters. On this barren soil, Keyblades with light and darkness were locked in combat...as a great Keyblade Battle raged. Countless Keyblade wielders gave up their lives, all in search of one, ultimate key. And it will soon belong to me..." Master Xora points at Wayward.

"χ-blade."

Firarra, Nightcrest and Wayward all don their armor. Wayward starts to rush, but Firarra stops her and rushes at them himself. He prepares to attack but is hit when Xora lifts the ground beneath himself as well, creating a cliff much higher than the surrounding terrain. While Vorion strikes Firarra with Purple Thunder, and is immediately pursued by Nightcrest and Wayward Wind, Firarra chases after Xora, who creates a Keyblade infused cyclone to aid Vorion against Nightcrest and Wayward.

Vorion chases and battles Nightcrest and Wayward Wind on the cyclone and neither are able to overcome her. But Nightcrest took off with her wings. Noticing that Firarra is getting closer to Xora, Vorion directs the cyclone towards Firarra, knocking him off the cliff. Nightcrest and Wayward Wind watch in horror, and Nightcrest gets hit by the cyclone, falling down from the air and crashing to the ground, obliterating her helmet completely. Wayward Wind comes to her aid as she casts Reflect magic on Firarra to protect him from the cyclone. The spell protects him from the cyclone until the he is pushed up to where Xora is, at which point it explodes, blasting the cyclone to pieces. Firarra is dropped to where Xora is. Firarra briefly duels Xora until the old pony freezes his left arm. Wayward Wind attempts to attack Xora from behind, but Xora teleports himself behind Wayward and grabs her by the helmet, beginning to crush it. Firarra stumbles forward, probably in an attempt to help Wayward, until Vorion and the Keyblade infused cyclone inexplicably reappear below Firarra's feet, hurling him off the cliff as countless keyblades batter his body. Xora and Vorion stand at the top of the cliff, still holding Wayward, presumably so Nightcrest could see her. When she does, the visor of Wayward’s helmet began to break into pieces and part of her face was shown and the reflection of Nightcrest’s shock was seen in front of Wayward’s eye. Xora first burns and then freezes Wayward Wind. Xora throws Wayward off the cliff, and her armor shatters on a few rocks. Nightcrest catches her. Wayward moves her eyes to indicate that she is still alive.

"Wayward, are you okay?" Nightcrest looked at her.

Thn suddenly Xora's Keyblade is changed into a purple and blue ball of flame-like energy, which he shoots upwards to part the gathering dark clouds, revealing Kingdom Hearts. Nightcrest looks up in amazement. A little distance away we see Arctic approach. Nightcrest sits holding frozen Wayward.

"How 'bout you leave the popsicle with me, so you can go have your little fight with Firarra" said the voice and Nightcrest looks up and she saw Dreg approaching the two.

"Who are you?" Nightcrest asked and Dreg laughed.

"You think you two have got some grand role to play. As if. You're only here so that when I finish you off...Firarra will succumb to the darkness. So...who wants to go first?" said Dreg and frozen Wayward is getting angry.

"Shut up!" Wayward shouted.

"Oh, so this pony-girl thinks she's a full-fledged Keyblade wielder? She's got the angry look down."

"Go ahead if you want to waste your time. Keep trying to drive us apart with your vicious words. It'll never work!" Nightcrest lays Wayward down. Wayward struggles to move. Nightcrest stands up. "Firarra will prove to you he's stronger!" Nightcrest summons her Keyblade and charges at Dreg.

"Nightcrest, wait!" she shouted and she continues to struggle, trying to move.

Meanwhile after the battle betwee Nightcrest and Dreg "I keep forgetting--don't mess with Keyblade wielders. But you know what? That just means I made the right choice!" Nightcrest charges toward Dreg again. "Well...he wanted me to buy time, and I'd say he got it" said Dreg and he turns and falls back. Nightcrest stopped and looked at Wayward. Then suddenly Wayward looks up and she sees Vorion falling from the cliff.

"Nightcrest look out" warned Wayward as Vorion falls and she strikes Nightcrest down with her Keyblade. Wayward tries even harder to try and free herself of the ice. Vorion holds her Keyblade over Nightcrest's heart, raises it, and...

"No!" Wayward has freed herself of the ice and is in a fighting stance as she battles Vorion to protect Nightcrest. Meanwhile Wayward defeats Vorion who's hunched over. A dark Aura begins to form around Vorion.

"You've done it, Wayward" said Vorion as she releases her Keyblade and her suit begins to dissolve revealing her face and looks identical to Twilight Sparkle but black with yellow eyes and her mane is grey with black and dark grey stripes. "Now that my body is about to perish...you and I will have to join together! The χ-blade will be forged!" Vorion releases some darkness, from which Flayers shoot out and hold Wayward still.

"The Flayers...come from you?" she asked while she struggled to get out.

Vorion laughs and spawns more Flayers "It happened when you and I were split into two. The negativity took shape as these monsters. They are what I feel...a horde of fledgling emotions under my control. I released them in all the worlds I could, hoping to lure you away from home and isolate you from your Master. We needed to make you stronger. The Flayers were the perfect opponents. And better yet, no matter how many times you defeat them...their negativity flows right back into me." She absorbs all but the few Flayers restraining Wayward. "You never stood a chance against us, Wayward." Vorion walks toward Wayward and the two are surrounded by a sphere of light. The sphere grows and its force blows Nightcrest away and cracks the ground around it. We see Wayward struggling in the sphere, she screams and then the sphere condenses and a red light fires up toward the sky.

Wayward's floating in her normal clothes. As she wakes up she floats down and lands on the stained glass station of her heart. Vorion floats down, holding a new weapon "our union was not finished" said Vorion and we see that the station now includes Vorion in its design. The weapon Vorion holds, a blade that comes from two Kingdom Keys crossed, is broken and missing pieces "The χ-blade shouldn't stay broken like this. Join me now, and we can complete the χ-blade!" she points the χ-blade at Wayward. Wayward shakes her head, no.

"I've got a better idea. How 'bout I destroy you both?" said Wayward as she summons her Keyblade and takes a fighting stance as Vorion laughs.

"The χ-blade is made of your heart, too, idiot. If you destroy it, your heart will vanish forever."

"Whatever it takes. Anything to save Firarra and Nightcrest."

"Hmph, it's always about your friends, isn't it?"

"At least I have some! I've become a part of their friendship, just as they've become a part of mine. My friends are my magic...and I'm theirs!"

During the fight, Wayward's station was shattered and the two were at D-link, Wayward floating and try to dodge Vorions encounter and Wayward's light beam came out of her Keyblade and points right to her and Vorion does the same, they struggle and struggle. With all that pressure Wayward's red band came off and suddenly her mane was loose.  She pushed and then broke the connection Vorion is down. Wayward floats towards her and finished her off by doing slice combo moves. Finally she deals the final blow to Vorion. The χ-blade slips away from Vorion and she struggles, trying to grab it. But she can't. As she falls, the χ-blade shatters, followed by Wayward's Keyblade. Vorion falls toward a darkened broken station, when she nears it she fades to light. The light hits the station and restores it with only Wayward's picture on it. Wayward lands in the middle of it and smiles. She starts to glow, her cutie mark has started to glow, she looks at it and her cutie mark fades to light and disappears. And then she closes her eyes and turns into a heart and flies off.

Wayward's body and Nightcrest float in space in their armor. Arctic arrives with his Port Emerald and takes Nightcrest's hoof. He waves the Emerald and leaves with them.

We see a bright light that Wayward splashes through. As she's falling she opens her eyes "this place...I've been here. So warm...I remember now. This is your heart." then everything fade to white.

The Wakening

We see Ponyville at sunset. A grey pony with white hair wearing a black vest stands on a hill at the open air.

"This place is just too small" said the grey pony.

Meanwhile it fades to a night view, with a old grown up stallion in a black hood standing in the same spot. It's night at Ponyville. A stallion in a black coat stands, holding someone wrapped in a white blanket on his back "There, you see? An empty sight, like a whisper. I imagine you'll be right at home" he lays the Earth Pony on the ground. Who we see is Wayward Wind, she has orange fur, her mane and her tail is blonde, her face has white freckles on her cheeks, her eyes is green and looks identical to Applejack. She lays silently with the white blanket around her and then a few seconds later she closes her eyes.

Later everything went black and then suddenly a voice has heard.

"Hey, where am I?"

"Who's there?" Wayward thought in her mind when we see a bright light appear.

Wayward Wind plunges through light and falls through the darkness. She opens her eyes and lands on a bright white platform.

"I'm a brand new heart."

The sound of the Wind breezes and Wayward can feel it and her loosen mane is blowing through her.

"But this is...why are you in my heart?" asked Wayward.

"The wind brought me here. I saw it blowing in the distance...and followed it here, and the light you seek is near."

"Yeah. That was my light." We see the platform is broken "But my heart is fractured. And now...the little I have left is slipping away."

"You should join with mine."

"Huh?" The broken area of the platform fills in with light.

"Now we have connected. Nothing else will slip away. And one day...you'll be strong enough to win back the part that already did."

"Right, thanks" said Wayward.

"It's time for you to wake up now. All we need to do is..."

"Open the door."

The blank light of the platform turns into a picture of Wayward, showing us it's her heart and also her Cutie Mark.

Later on back outside the streets of Ponyville the stallion turns to leave, Wayward still resting on the grassy hill. Wayward rolls over and raises her hoof. The stallion stops walking and turns around to look at Wayward.

"Ahh" said the grey stallion.

Wayward's Keyblade appears in her hoof.

"A Keyblade?"

Wayward's Keyblade glows and fires a beam of light into the sky. And suddenly her Cutie Mark appears. The stallion in the black coat smiles. Wayward opens her eyes and she sees sparkles everywhere.
