Chapter one

Ponyvile 1002 PC

At Ponyvile station, A Stallion with navy blue fur and a red mane, he had an orange flame as his cutie mark, he also had a scar going down the right side of his face.

He walks off the train hoping he wouldn’t be noticed. He was a no one, he only cares about his brother, his foster family and his eight “Brothers and Sisters” that he serves with.

He made his way to his old home. He felt that something was different here. Not like how it was when he left two years ago.  He kept walking towards his old house aware that someone was fallowing him.

“Will you stop fallowing me” He said turning around to see a Pink mare looking at him.

   “Well you totally left before I was able to say hi to you at the train station.” She said.

“Why does it matter to you?” He said.

“Because I’m going to throw you a party!” She said.

“No.” He said starting to walk again.

“c’mon! I throw all new ponies a party.” She said fallowing him. “If I don’t than my name isn’t Pinkie Pie.”

“Look.” He said. “I don’t care. There are plenty of other ponies that would love a party.”

“Well at least tell me your name.” She said.

“Alright.” He said sighing. “The name is…”

“Flash?” a young earth pony colt with red fur and a blue mane said. “Is that you?”

Flash looked at the colt. “Solar Flare.” He said before hugging the colt. “Good to see you brother.”

“ OHmygoshyourSolar’sbrother?Ihavetothrowyouawelcomehomepartynow.” Pinkie said speaking really fast to the point no one could understand her.

“What did she just say?” Flash said. “Slow down.”

“I said” pinkie pie said. “Now I have to throw you a welcome home party.”

“You don’t need to.” Solar said before hitting Flash. “I hope I don’t see you again Flash.” Solar runs off with tears in his eyes.

“I deserved that.” Flash said. “Haven’t been around for him in the past two years.” Flash starts to walk again.  When he turns around he notices that Pinkie wasn’t fallowing him.  ‘Well at least I got rid of that freak.’ He thought to himself

He finally made it back to his old home. “What the tarterous!” He said seeing that his home was destroyed. “What happened while I was gone?”

“Ohh so that was your home.” Pinkie Pie said appearing out of nowhere. “It was destroyed when Twilight fought against Tirek.”

“When did you show up.” Flash said.

“I never left! I just gave you some space.” She said. “I’m really sorry about Solar.”

“Well what can I expect when I never wrote to him in the past two years.” Flash said.

“So then, about your party.” She said.

“You aren’t going to drop that. Are you?” He said.

“Nope.” She said with a smile on her face. “It’s my duty to throw a party to every new or returning ponyvile resident.

“I’m sorry but…” He said. “I’m just not into parties. Never have been.”  He looks Pinkie pie in the eyes and sighs. “If it’ll make you get off my back I guess I’ll allow it this once.”

Pinkie Pie jumped in joy. “Owe you won’t regret it mister grumpy pants.”

“Grumpy pants?” he said. “Please just call me Flash Fire.”

Flash started to walk away. “Where are you going?” Pinkie said.

“To find a place to sleep.” Flash answered. Flash unknowing dropped a medallion with a cross and four diamonds on it. Pinkie picks it up.

“Hey Flashy.” She said. She looked up and saw that flash was gone.

     ‘Alright.’ Flash thought to himself as he walked through ponyvile. ‘I have to find a place to sleep. I could always go to my foster family’s

house”. Flash shakes his head. ‘No if Solar acted like that then I bet the others would act the same way. I could just stay in a hotel. Yeah that’ll work.’ As he was thinking to himself he wasn’t paying attention to where he was walking.  He ended up walking into a mare.

“I’m so sorry.” Flash said he looked at her. “Dusk?” he said looking at the Mare, she was a near perfect version of a friend of his. “I didn’t know you went that way, Gaina will be disappointed.” She looked at him. She had lavender collard Alicorn with a purple mane.

“Did you just call me a colt?” She said looking at him “That is disrespectful.” She yelled at him

“Sorry.” Flash said. “You just look like a friend of mine.” Flash walks away.

“Come back here!” Twilight said chasing after him.

“Look.” Flash said. “I am so sorry.”

“Did you call me Dusk?” She asked

“Yeah.” Flash said.

“As in Dusk Shine?” She said. “My twin brother.”

“You’re Twilight?” He said dumbfounded. “Dusk told me a lot about you.”

“Really…” Twilight said “I haven’t heard from Dusk in two years.”

“Well howdy Twilight.” An orange mare said. As soon as Flash heard that voice he started looking for a way out of there.

“Well it’s been fun chatting Twilight, but I have to go.” Flash said.  Before he could go Pinkie pie shows up.

“There you are Flashy.” Pinkie said. “You dropped this.” She handed him the Medallion.

The orange mare walks up to them. “Who’s your friend Twilight….” She looks at Flash. “You.” She hits Flash. “That’s for not writing to us you self-centered son of a female dog.”

“Apple Jack?” Twilight said. “How Do you know him.”

“Well.” Pinkie said. “You know that Solar flare lives with the apple Family.”

“Yes.” Twilight said.  “What about him.”

“Well Flashy is Solar’s brother.” Apple Jack.

“Owe.” Twilight said.

“Well I’m leaving.” Flash said taking the medallion. “Forget about the party Pink, I’m not welcomed here.”

“Wait.” Twilight said. Flash didn’t listen and kept walking

3 hours later

Flash found a three story Inn to spend the night in. He heard the door knock.

“Come in.” He said. Apple Jack walked in.

“I’m sorry about earlier.” Apple Jack said.

“Don’t mention it.” Flash said.

“So where have you been.” Apple Jack said.

“Classified.” Flash said. “Let’s just say I’ve been everywhere.”

“Instead of this rundown Motel.” Appel Jack said. “You can come with me. My place is better than this.”

   “I would…” Flash said. He felt like something was off about Apple Jack.

“You know what just give me that here medallion and…” All of a sudden Apple Jack burst into flames.

“You know.” Flash said. “You almost had me, but why would Apple Jack care about a medallion or have her own place.”

Fake Apple Jack laughs.  “Wow your good Flame Slicer.”  Fake Apple Jack turns into a black stallion. “The names Invidia.”

“You don’t look like a changeling….” Flash said. “How the hell did you survive my attack!?”

“You call that an attack.” Invidia turns into Flash. “Well anyways give me that medallion or die. Like the rest of your squad.” He said perfectly replicating flash’s voice.

“What?” Flash said. “Their dead?” Tears started running down Flashes Forehead.

“Give me the Medallion and I’ll.” Invidia bursts into flames again. “You bastard.”

“I’m going to Buckin kill you now.” Flash said.

“You can’t kill me.” Invida said. His wounds healed quickly. “I can’t be killed. Let alone from a mere pony like you.”  Invidia fires a ball of fire at flash. Flash was able to absorb the fire threw his horn. “So that’s why they call you the Flame Slicer. You not only able to create fire, you’re able to extinguish it. This should be fun!”

Flash fires a ball of fire at Invidia. Invidia absorbs it. “How?” Flash said.

“You thought me!” Invidia said with an evil grin on his face. “When I turn into the form of another pony, or other sentient being. I’m able to learn abilities from watching said being. Now then what was that move you used in the beginning?

“Shit.” Flash quickly jumped out of the way as fire appeared where he was at.  Flash fired eight balls of fire at his double ganger. Invidia absorbed the attack and fired.

Outside the Inn. Twilight, Apple Jack, and Solar were walking to the Inn

“All I’m saying.” Twilight said. “Is that Flash seemed a little depressed after you both rejected him.”

“Yeah I know. I was a little out of line.” Apple Jack said.

“The bastard deserved it.” Solar said. “He thinks he can just show up in our lives after two years of being away.”

The right side of the third story of the Inn blows up.

“What in Tarnations.” Apple Jack said.

Two Ponies that looked like they were on fire where running down the side of the building. Both of them kept clashing into each other.

“That’s Fire magic.” Twilight said. “By the looks of it, it’s advanced fire magic.”

Both of the flame ponies keep clashing with each other. After a good five minutes both of the ponies stop roughly twelve feet from each other.

“Flash?” Apple Jack said seeing double of her older foster brother.

The Flash on the right was breathing heavily. The one on the left was barley sweating.  “Why are there two of them?”  Twilight said.

   “Owe man.” The one on the left said while laughing. “I’m actually sweating. I wouldn’t expect anything less from the Flame Slicer.”

“Flame Slicer?” Twilight and Apple Jack said. Both of them looked at each other.

“But you know what.” Invina said turning back to his original form. “I’ll kill you with my “own” hoofs.”

   “Fine by me.” Flash said. Flash tries to create a fire ball but is unable to.

“Owe my.” Invina said. “You can’t activate your fire magic pitty.”

‘Buck’ Flash thought. ‘I’m too worn out to use magic.’ Flash runs at Invina.

Invina doges the attack and hits Flash with his foreleg.  “Now now don’t overdo yourself. Just give me the medallion and I’ll let you live.”  Flash tries to hit him again. “Fine.” Inivina turns back into Flash. “I’ll give you some incentive. I’ll kill…” He looks at Solar Flare. “Your brother.”

Flash gets up “Don’t you bucking dare.”

Invina shakes his head. “I gave you a chance.”

“Solar Run!” Flash yelled. he said it too late as Solar bursts into flames.

Solar screams as he gets burned alive. Flash falls to the ground with his spirit broken and tears in his eyes.

Apple Jack has a hoof over her mouth as well as crying.

Solar finally stops screaming.  All that was left of him was ash.

“You Bastard!” Apple Jack said. Running towards Invina.

   “Stay back AJ” Flash says his eyes were red. “I don’t want to lose my sister as well.”

“So Slicer are you going to give me the medallion or am I going to have to kill another pony.” Invina said. Flash gives him the Medallion

“I am going to kill you.” Flash said.

“I’d like to see you try.” Invina said before disappearing.

Flash falls down again. This time he losses consciousness.
