Fantastic Filly Four

Author's Note: The following story is not a property nor product of my own creation. These are the properties of Hasbro and Walt Disney/ Marvel corporation and comes from the minds of Lauren Faust, Stan Lee, Don Heck and Jack Kirby respectively.

Since most of you were a bit confused upon the first chapter, I decided that this chapter will give you a bit of a hint or so of how each of the Mane 6 reacts towards Celestia's news in their own way. I'm hoping that this chapter that my handle on the character's POV are a bit better and that I captured their voices correctly.

Also let me remind you all that I'm a bit of Sparity fan of this show.

Within her former workshop, that once hold the most gallant dress known to Pony kind, she works diligently.  Using a bit of her magic she brings in the metal thongs in which she uses to carry out the glowing metal object in her new fireplace. With it she places the thongs with the metallic object upon her metal table and then releases the object on to the platform. Then she uses her magic to bring in the hammer which she uses to hammer down the molten object into place.

With each hammering, her pain and sadness is unleashed for she is sad for the lost of her friends, sad for the lost of her dignity and sad for the lost of her Spikie-Wikie.  She didn’t know what were to happen when the Princess summoned them to Cancerlot. That it was due to their own unique popularity as wielders of the Elements of Harmony that the Changelings nearly took over Cancerlot and all of Equestria. That it was due to their own unique problems that Ponyville, itself nearly got destroyed In the past few month or so.

At first, she found those accusations to be simply….

“Ludicrous,” she stated to them all at the time, “We saved Ponyville more times than we endangered it.”

However, Twilight Sparkle agreed with her mentor claims, remind them that they were fooled upon both times with the threats of Discord and the Changeling Queen. Both threats nearly put all of Equestria in danger.

Upon the suggestion of Princess Celestia, Twilight and Spike were to head towards a distant part of Equestria land, where they were to meet up with someone called, “The Ancient one,” and it is he who would try to train them both the harness their inner magic.

“Inner magic?” she asked at the time, and Princess Celestia explained to her subjects that the inner magic of a unicorn and a dragon as powerful, such as both Twilight and Spike are together, that are in tune with each other very well, can bring potential peace and balance between both ponies and dragons.

For they are, as the Princess stated, a perfect example of true harmonic friendship between dragons and ponies and if others were to learn by them then the possible chances of conflicts between Dragons and ponies in the future would be a bit less.

The others sort of understood their princess’s words, but Rarity still had her doubts.

Another hammer broke her train of thought as she tries to see the results of her hooves work.

Once she was satisfied with her work,  she then tried to make the bit a smaller to fit her frame physic, and  with that she brought in the flaming torch that she “borrowed” from Pinkie Pie. Why does a weird mare like Pinkie need a dangerous object like that is one of a few questions she puts to the back of her mind. What is current on her mind was her little dragon helper and dear friend Spike.

She recalls how she manages to convince him to join Twilight on her quest. It was just the night before they left when her and Spike took a late afternoon stroll around Ponyville. It was just before his bedtime as she recalls deeply…

“So…” he stated

“So…” she responded as it was a quiet moment between the two of them. She couldn’t deny that despite some of his most immature moments, Twilight truly did teach him some mannerisms that impress her very well.

That and in a way, he really was a cute little fire breather, even when he was grownup dragon due to his advance greed he looked as handsome as he was scary to her mind. She truly is thankful for having someone like him in her life.

Still, she had to convince him to take the chance with Twilight and that it was for the best of both of them. “Besides,” as she recalled the moment, “I mean we wouldn’t want another attack would we Spike?”

She knew that it was a bit of a low blow for the young dragon, but it had to be done for him to understand the purpose of this trip in hopes to not only confront the inner dragon within him, but to harness the magical energy his has to use it as a positive force of good.

“I promise I’ll try my very best to see to it that you are given the finest gems of the land,” she told him.

“Pinkie Promise….” He said.

Though they both know how wacky Pinkie was with her promises, she just responded with, “I try my very best Spike is all I can tell you.”

After a moment or two, hooves shook claw and then the unexpected happen to Rarity, Spike kissed her on the cheek.

“A true Gentlemare doesn’t leave a lady in distress,” he stated.

“Spike, I…”She responded.

“I’ve been reading some of Twilight’s books on emotions and facial features, and they all tell me that you’re worried about me. I just trying to make those worries a bit less…in a way,” he stated calmly.

Rarity was a bit shock for a moment, before she bend down to his side and gave him a slight kiss on the cheek as well.

“Don’t ever change, Spike,” she told him, “don’t ever change…”

She soon felt her mind coming back to reality when she heard the voice of her sister crying out, “Rairty, Your mane’s on fire.”

With a sudden quickness she notices her beautiful mane nearly aflame, so after she turned off the blow torch she went with a fast run to the nearest water supply her sink to stop it and try to dry it out.

After a few moments of soaking it the water, Rarity was saved, although her hair was a mess for a bit of a while. No matter, as long as what she needed was ready, and indeed it was.

“It looks like you did a good job sis,” stated her little sister.

“I truly do hope so, Sweetie Belle,” she stated in an uncertain tone.

“What are you building anyway sis,” Sweetie Belle asked.

“Armor,” she simply responded, “Just Armor.”

“What for,” asked Sweetie Belle, “IS it for the Princess’s guards,”

“Yes and maybe no,” she responded, “Maybe, it’s about time I try to explain what happen to me the past few weeks.”

“You’re sure Rarity,” she asked, “I mean I could come back later and…”

“No, no, you have a right to know,” she stated, “As you are my sister and I would never try to leave anything out that wouldn’t hurt you in the long run.”

“Okay,” she responded.

“Now then I guess you probably know of the details and bits from the overall reasons of my disappearance, but let me tell you that all those bits and pieces never compare to the actual truth. I guess it started a few days after Twilight left Pony-ville….”
