The Test of Approval

Previous ChapterNext Chapter

After a week of merciless training, it's finally the day to prove themselves to Solar, by taking the test from Solar himself. This test will decide the faith of the three whether they pass or fail will be up to them, Solar will only judge.

It's still early in the morning, the sun hasn't risen up yet. The three lay on bed they seem to have not slept since yesterday however they still have a lot of energy. The three leave their beds knowing nothing is going to happen if they lay down.

Cast goes into the kitchen and quickly prepares tea; meanwhile Aim is outside looking at the sunrise; on the other hand Slice is on the couch inside with his sword.

Slice looks at his sword and remembers his training, simulating how to beat Solar because obviously no normal method will beat him.

He get's bored after a few minutes of thinking so he goes outside to get some fresh air. There he sees Aim wishing upon the sun.

Slice asks, "You wishing that the princess gives you strength?"

Aim looks at slice and nods.

Cast goes outside with a small tea set enough for her only. And he sees the two somewhat talking to each other.

Cast says, "Why good morning, Darlings,"

Slice says, "Mornin',"

Cast sips tea from a cup as she says, "So todays the day, are you to ready,"

Slice answers, "Course we are, if I can do what Haseyo taught me I hope...,"

Aim doesn't know whether to nod or shake her head.

Slice screams, "Never the less we have to do this it's the only way we can get stronger!"

Cast says, "For this one I can agree with you,"

Aim nods.

Cast says "Come, Darlings let's cheer for ourselves one more time,"

Aim nods.

Slice places his hoof in front of him and screams, "We are Celestia's fines guards and we are going to pass this!"

Cast places her hoof on top of Slice's and says, "Together we will rise, we are The Canterlot Knights!"

Aim places her hoof on top of theirs and nods.

Together the two scream, "Go Canterlot Knights!!!"

Suddenly the neighbor screams, "HEY! Shut up!! some of us are still trying to sleep!!!"

Cast screams, "Oh forgive us!"

The three quickly run inside before they cause any more trouble.

Cast breaths and says, "Wew we almost woke up the whole village we better be careful from now on,"

Slice says, "Yes,"

Slice says, "Well I have to get ready, I'll meet you two in front of the Training Room,"

Slice goes up stairs.

Aim looks like she has to prepare as well. She goes up after Slice.

Cast says, "I better clean up before preparing,"

Cast finishes her cup of tea and washes the tea set she used. She went up after.

Dawn is has risen, both Aim and Slice are in front of the Training Room ready to fight all that's left is Cast to show up.

Running thru the halls, Cast can be seen waving to them.

Slice asks, "What took you so long!?"

Aim stops in front of them and says, "Sorry,"

Both Slice and Aim notice that she isn't wearing any make up.

Slice asks, "Hey why aren't you wearing any make up,"

Cast giggles and asks, "What do you not like me without my make up on,"

Slice replies, "Hey who said anything about like-ing you I mean like Like-ing you,"

Cast and Aim giggles and Slice screams, "Enough teasing me already and answer,"

Cast stops and explains, "Alright I did a bit of tweaking so I can finally use Charge but it's not yet as powerful as Solar demonstrated it to me it will suffice,"

Slice says, "I guess that will be a good enough answer to my question, Now let's go Solar is waiting,"

Slice opens the door and a very hot and strong breeze flows out the door. The three manage to stand still withstanding the blow, the wind leaves and a mare can be seen in the middle of the battle ground.

The mare had orange mane and yellow coat, she has moderate cyan eyes that she uses to look behind her; she has a pendant hanging from his neck and a bandage covering his flank also there are one bell strapped to his bandage.

She starts to talk, "So ponies are you ready to fight? well you better be cause if your not up to the challenge you better just run away,"

The three notice her voice to be familiar.

She turns around and shows her face it turns out to be Solar.

Cast screams, "You!!"

Solar says, "So that's how you look underneath the hood,"

Aim looks surprised.

Solar says, "No more lollygagging are you in or are you out!?"

The two answers simultaneously, "Of course we are!" and Aim nods.

Solar says, "Alright there rules are, One get the bell from me, two this test depends on how you get the bell from me, third what did you think of my entrance,"

Cast says, "It's good,"

Solar says, "That was great,"

Solar says, "Good you pass the test,"

Cast asks, "Really!?"

Solar says, "No! did you really think I'd let you pass that easily, I'm not those kind of hero's I'm the one that test their personality and strength in battle of course, now enter when ready, also close the door when you enter I don't want Ponyvill to get a lot hotter because of me, some places are trying to get of global warming you know,"

They have no idea of what Solar is talking about but they enter and close the door behind them.

Solar says, "Ready! Fight!"

Aim prepares to load her bow and Cast charges her spell on her horn, Slice runs towards Solar.

Solar says, "Prepare to face Haseyo the fastest pony in this dimension, and take not I'll only use two percent of my strength to fight you,"

Slice reaches Solar and uses his giant sword to blast Solar away.

Solar blocks with one of his hooves, and says, "Impressive you're getting stronger,"

Slice says, "Thanks it's thanks to your training,"

Slice pulls back his sword then jumps back. Then Aim and Cast unleash a huge barrage of quick arrows and large beams.

Solar blocks the arrows with his left hoof and with his right he deflects the beam.

Solar compliments. "Accurate aiming, Aim. I see you finally able to do it, Cast,"

Cast says, "Took me long enough," Then fires another beam at him.

Aim prepares her arrows again.

Cast and Slice distracts Solar from Aim; Solar says, "Did you really think trying to distract me would work I've already noticed Aim however I'm not going to stop it, I have to see what she can do,"

Aim shoots a barrage of arrows, each arrow aimed at a vital point. Solar disappears when the arrows almost hit him then reappears when the arrows has passed his position.

Solar says, "Good shot but this time try to aim where I'm going,"

Aim shoots more arrows and Cast blast more beams.

Slice jumps back and grabs his broadsword

Slice runs towards Solar; Solar notices and says, "Oh a short sword let me see how much you can do with that,"

Slice says, "I'll show you a thing or two,"

Slice disappears but Solar can see right thru his speed. Slice goes to the left and attacks with his giant sword then runs towards Solar's back to slice the string with the broadsword. Solar blocks him the giant sword with his dagger and then uses his right hoof to block the blade with his Buff Up increased hoof.

Slice was shocked to see his move did not work. "But How!? How did you block the blade with your bare hoof,"

Slice knocks back Slice with a kick. "Uh I did teach you Buff Up, Slice there's no reason I can't use it as well,"

Slice is on the ground recovering from the hit. Aim uses Pin Point at Solar to disturb him from Cast, meanwhile she uses Charge to increase her magic.

Slice stands up and runs to pick up his swords, Solar notices what their doing it's now or never they know they can't keep repeating the same tactic and their running out of stock, this move will decide it all.

The three do their on separate things to prepare and Solar stands there waiting for the to give it their all, he's going to take there attack however he does prepare three daggers.

All together the three start attacking, with first Slice attacking to keep Solar's left hoof busy, Aim shoot arrows towards him, Solar jumps away to dodge and again Slice goes after him; they do this again and again to keep him busy.

Cast suddenly appears with behind Solar with a charge hoof, she manages to punch the bell enough to break the string attached to Solar. They've done it they got the bell.

Suddenly out of nowhere they all fall on the ground like they been hit by something also Solar's daggers are gone.

Solar starts to giggle. "Hehehe nice work guys, you passed the test,"

Cast stands up with her hoof on her head. "What happened?"

Slice stands up saying, "I feel like I've been hit by something, Hard"

Aim stands up.

Solar says, "Well let me just say that, I'm proud of you guys and I'm very happy I won't go to Manehatten alone,"

Cast says, "What! What do you mean Manehatten!?"

Solar says, "Yes of course we head to Manehatten right after you prepare your stuff I'll explain it on the way there,"

Solar walks to the door and says, "Well then better hurry up,"

The three fall down in exhaustion.

Solar leaves the room and closes the door.

He smiles and says, "Welcome to the family,"

Then he quickly leaves to prepare or more likely wait for them in the station.
