The Adventures Of Thunderbolt

"I hope I'm not too late!" shouted Adam as he struggled to reach his house before it hit 12:00 noon. "Almost there!" he gasped. Adam then trips on a rock and falls on the ground. "Ouch!" he shouted, feeling slightly embarrassed, but then he got up and kept on running. After running for more than 20 minutes, Adam finally reached his house. He then opened the door, ran inside, and shouted, "Mom I'm home from school!"

Adam's mom called from upstairs and said: "Oh, you're home early."

"Yeah school let out early today, and I wanted to make sure I didn't miss today's episode," said Adam as he turned on the TV to the Hub Network.

"Today's episode of what?" Adam's Mom shouted back.

"Today's new episode of My Little Pony!" Adam turned up the volume of the TV, sat down and began to watch the episode.

"Woo! That was some episode!" Adam said with a smile, as he turned the TV off. "Man, Rainbow Dash is so awesome! I wish I could meet her in real life, she is so beautiful the way she soars through the air!" Adam thought out loud. After watching the episode, he started on his homework and was finished by 11:00 p.m.

With it being so late, Adam's mom called from upstairs, "Adam, it's time for bed!"

"OK" Adam replied. He ran up the stairs and headed to the bathroom to brush his teeth. As Adam reached for his toothbrush, he thought to himself, "I wonder if there are any Bronies at my school? I will have to check tomorrow." After brushing, Adam walked to his room and got ready for bed. He then got down on his knees and prayed to God before he leaped into bed only to end up falling off the edge of it. "Ouch! Why does that always happen to me!?!" Adam shouted. "Oh well brand new day tomorrow, hopefully I will be able to build up the courage to actually make some real friends tomorrow." With that said, Adam fell into a deep sleep and thought of only what tomorrow would bring.

Meanwhile in Equestria...

Twilight begins to run frantically around her library. "Spike!" Twilight calls out, "Have you seen my quills!?! Spike!"

Spike immediately comes running down the stairs. "Yes Twilight what is it? What's going on?"

Twilight looks at Spike, "Spike, have you seen my quills? I can't seem to find them anywhere."

"Well... where did you leave them last? Spike asks.

Twilight walks over to her bookshelf and looks around it, "I think I put it around--" Before she can finish there is a huge explosion followed by a large flash of light coming from outside.

Spike dives right underneath the covers of his bed.

Twilight looks straight toward her library window and asks, "What was that!?!"

Spike peaks out from under his sheets, "I don't know, but whatever is was, it sounded big, really big..."

Twilight runs toward the door of her library and opens it, then looks back at Spike, "I'll be right back ok Spike, I just need to find out what that loud explosion was."

Spike gives Twilight a nod and then goes back to hiding underneath his covers.

Twilight shuts the door behind her, then looks in the distance to see a trail of smoke leading to where the explosion came from. She begins to follow the trail of smoke which leads her to the crash site.

Not long afterward, Pinkie Pie sees Twilight and hops right beside her, "Hey Twilight!" Pinkie says with a smile, "Did you hear that large explosion?!? It came out of nowhere! I was just minding my own business like doo dee doo dee doo and all of a sudden..." Pinkie Pie jumps up in the air in a popping motion "BOOM!" "Then I saw you and I was like, hi Twilight! And then I hopped my way over to you! Soooo....where you headed?"

Twilight continues to run, "I'm going to find out what made that loud explosion"

Pinkie Pie lets out a huge gasp, "Can I come too! I love mysteries!"

Twilight looks at Pinkie Pie "Of course you can, just try and keep up"

Pinkie Pie gives a smile and says, "Okie Dokie Lokie!" Just as Pinkie Pie says that, the other mane 4 ponies run up beside Twilight and Pinkie Pie.

"Did you hear that loud explosion?" Rainbow Dash asks.

"I did, it woke Angel bunny up from his nap." replies Fluttershy with a soft, gentle voice.

"So did I, it nearly gave Granny Smith a heart attack!" shouts Applejack.

"It nearly ruined one of my most precious gowns!" states Rarity.

Twilight looks at the five ponies beside her, "Don't worry girls, whatever made that noise, we're about to find out." The ponies begin to get even closer to the large cloud of smoke.

After 15 minutes of running, the mane 6 finally reach the large crater from where the explosion originated from.

Twilight looks down into the crater, "I can't see anything... it's too cloudy." The other mane six maneuver their heads to look into the cloud of smoke. Suddenly there is some movement in the midst of the smoke.

Rainbow Dash points in the direction of the movement, "Look! Over there, I saw something!"  All the ponies look into the direction Rainbow Dash is pointing. Just then, the smoke finally clears revealing a black pony, with a yellow mane, lying on the ground. The mane six slowly walk into the crater towards the sleeping pony until they're looking over him.

Rainbow Dash gives a puzzled look, "A pony?"

"Aw he is so cute" says Fluttershy with a little smile.

The black pony squints his eyes while slowly opening them.

"Look, I think he is waking up." says Fluttershy.

The black pony's eyes shoot open. "AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!!!" screams the black pony as he backs away from the mane six.

Rainbow Dash takes to the air, "Whoa! Didn't expect that!"

The black pony stares at the mane six then thinks to himself "Wait...the mane six? But how!?! When did... how did I get here?" he looks down at his hooves and gasps, "I have hooves!!! I'm not sure whether to be happy or completely shocked to death here!" The black pony looks up at the mane six to see they're giving him a strange look.

Twilight begins to walk to him, but Rainbow Dash puts her hoof in front of Twilight and says, "Wait! How do we know he isn't like... bad or anything?"

Twilight looks at Rainbow then at the stallion, "He doesn't look dangerous, it just looks like we frightened him. Let me try talking to him."

Rainbow Dash looks at the stallion then back at Twilight "Ok... but if he tries anything we're right here."

Twilight nods then starts moving towards the stallion again. She sits down right in front of the black stallion. "Hi I'm Twilight Sparkle, what's your name?"

The stallion looks at Twilight, "I'm Ad...." Adam thinks to himself, "wait... a second, if I tell them my real name, they'll think I'm crazy and might reject me..." Adam looks up at Twilight, "My name is... Thunderbolt" Thunderbolt gets up from the ground and stands on all fours while saying, "I'm gonna have to get use to this..."

Twilight gets up as well and looks at Thunderbolt, "What was that?"

Thunderbolt quickly looks away, "Oh never mind"

Twilight looks at her friends, "Oh I have to introduce you to my friends."

Thunderbolt looks straight at Twilight, "The Mane six!?!?!? Um... I mean, oh no you don't have to do that..."

Twilight pulls on Thunderbolt's hoof, "No I want you to meet them" says Twilight with a sweet smile.

Thunderbolt looks down at Twilight holding his hoof. "Oh... ok, just promise me they won't try to hurt me" says Thunderbolt nervously.

Twilight nods and leads Thunderbolt to her friends. "Hey girls, this is Thunderbolt."

Thunderbolt smiles and waves at the five ponies in front of him.

Twilight points at Fluttershy, "This is Fluttershy."

Fluttershy blushes and says, "Hi..." with a very shy voice.

Thunderbolt gives her a grin, "Hello Fluttershy"

Twilight points to Applejack next, "This is Applejack" Applejack tilts her hat, "Howdy Thunderbolt."

Thunderbolt nods his head, "Hi Applejack a pleasure to meet you."

Pinkie Pie gives Thunderbolt a big hug and says, "I am so going to throw you a special welcome to Ponyville party for you!"

Twilight chuckles, "That's Pinkie Pie"

Pinkie Pie squeezes Thunderbolt even harder, causing his eyes to pop out of his head as she squeezes him.

"Ok... ok... It's nice to meet you Pinkie Pie... but if you don't stop squeezing me... there won't be a pony worth throwing a party for..."

Pinkie Pie lets go of Thunderbolt, "oops sorry" Pinkie Pie says with a huge smile.

Twilight looks at Rarity, "That's Rarity"

Rarity flutters her eyes at Thunderbolt, "Hello Darling"

Thunderbolt feels a little nervous "Eh heh heh... Hi Rarity"

Twilight points at Rainbow Dash, "And this is---"

"Rainbow Dash!" Thunderbolt interrupts with excitement. All the ponies stare directly at him in shock.

"How did you know that was my name?" asks Rainbow Dash.

Thunderbolt looks at the mane six, shrugs, and says, "Um... lucky guess?" He then stares at Rainbow Dash and is instantly love-struck while his eyes completely turn into beating red hearts.

Rainbow Dash looks at Thunderbolt with a very confused and annoyed look on her face and asks, "Why are you staring at me like that?"

Thunderbolt shakes his head snapping himself out of it, "Um... nothing", he says blushing slightly.

"Um... Excuse me Thunderbolt?" Twilight asks.

Thunderbolt looks at Twilight and answers, "Yes Twilight?"

"If you don't mind me asking, I was wondering, where did you come from and how did you get here?" Twilight asks.

Thunderbolt observes himself from top to bottom, then looks up at the mane 6 while replying: "I don't know..."

Twilight looks at her friends with a very worried look on her face, "Well I think I may know somepony who just might."

"Who might that be?" Thunderbolt asks.

Twilight turns to face Ponyville and looks back at Thunderbolt, "Come on, I'll take you to her." she begins to walk towards Ponyville before Rainbow Dash puts her hoof in front of her yet again.

"Twilight, are you sure that's a good idea, to take a pony we don't even know into a place full of innocent ponies!?!" asks Rainbow Dash.

Twilight looks at Thunderbolt, "Don't worry Rainbow Dash wherever this pony came from, I'm pretty sure Princess Celestia will know" Twilight continues walking to Ponyville, with her friends and Thunderbolt following close behind.

As the ponies walk through Ponyville, Twilight shows Thunderbolt around town for a little bit while making their way to the train station. In the process, Thunderbolt is able to see SugarCube Corner, Rarity's Boutique, and even CloudsDale. Once the ponies finally arrive at the train station, they buy a ticket to Canterlot Castle. Aboard the train, dark clouds begin to cover the clear blue sky.

Pinkie Pie peeks her head out of the train, "OOOOH! Looks like we are about to get some rain!" Pinkie Pie grabs an umbrella from her mane and begins to sing, "It's raining it's pouring the old mare is snoring!"

Thunderbolt simply looks out the window at the dark clouds, closes his eyes, and sighs.

Twilight walks over to Thunderbolt and asks, "Are you ok Thunderbolt?"

Thunderbolt slowly opens his eyes and turns to look at Twilight, "Yeah I'm ok..."

The train pulls into the station at Canterlot Castle and lets all the ponies off.

Thunderbolt looks directly up at the Castle as he walks off the train, "You took me to Canterlot!?!?!" Thunderbolt shouts, causing the mane 6 to look at him.

"Yeah how else were we suppose to talk to Princess Celestia?" Rainbow Dash asks.

Thunderbolt gives a very upset and nervous look at the mane six, "I don't know! Maybe send her a letter!?!" shouts Thunderbolt in anger.

"But then we wouldn't be able to show you to Princess Celestia" Applejack says.

Fluttershy puts a hoof on Thunderbolt's shoulder. "It's ok, Thunderbolt, Princess Celestia can be really nice."

Thunderbolt looks at the ground and says, "Ok... let's go", while letting our a deep sigh. The mane six walk into Canterlot Castle.

Inside, the ponies approach two giant doors that lead into the throne room.

Thunderbolt looks around the room nervously, "Wait!" he shouts. The mane six look back at Thunderbolt wondering what was wrong. "Um... how do we know we are even allowed to be here?" Thunderbolt asks.

Twilight smiles at Thunderbolt and says, "Don't worry Thunderbolt, I'm pretty sure Princess Celestia will be happy to see us." Twilight uses her magic to open the two giant doors and when she does, there is green goo all over the throne room walls. The mane six look all around the room.

"EEW! Whoever decided to design the throne room this year did an awful job!" states Rarity.

Twilight frantically looks around the room for Princess Celestia and Princess Luna. Some green slime drops on Twilight's nose and when she looks up, she sees Princess Celestia and Princess Luna encased in a green chrysalis. "Princess Celestia!!!" shouts Twilight.

"They can not hear you!" a mysterious voice calls out. Suddenly a tall black Alicorn with green eyes walks out from behind Celestia's throne. The mane six gasp in horror as they realize who it is.

"Queen Chrysalis!" Twilight says with enmity .

"Hello Twilight Sparkle, its been a while!" says Queen Chrysalis with an evil grin.

"What do you want?" Twilight asks.

"Oh nothing much", says Chrysalis, "Just... my revenge!" Queen Chrysalis then fires a green blast at Twilight, but misses and hits Rarity's hooves instead.

Rarity tries to move, but it's no use. "Twilight! I'm stuck... Eww and it's green, I hate green!"

Twilight looks back to see Rarity sealed in Chrysalis' green goo.

Queen Chrysalis fires several more blasts at Twilight's friends trapping them too. She then turns to face Twilight, "Looks like it's just the two of us now!"

Twilight gets into her fighting position while Thunderbolt hides behind Rarity.

"My hero..." Rarity sarcastically grumbles to herself.

Twilight fires a beam of magic at Chrysalis, but Chrysalis creates a magic shield blocking the attack, then Chrysalis fires a beam of magic back at Twilight. Twilight uses her wings and takes to the air dodging the blast. Chrysalis fires again, aiming to blast Twilight's wing, Twilight is hit and smashes against the ground with a thud. At the sight of her successful shot, Chrysalis, smiles an evil grin. Twilight with her injured wings struggles to stand up.

"Come on Twilight, you can do it! Go Twilight!" her friends yell.

Twilight finds the strength to stand on her hooves. Chrysalis feeling quite confident in herself, continues to fire at Twilight. Twilight manages to hop out of the way from every single one of her blasts, but Chrysalis aims just right and traps one of Twilight's hooves in her green goo. Twilight struggles to get herself free, but Chrysalis fires a second shot trapping all four of Twilight's hooves.

Chrysalis lets out a maniacal laugh, "MWAHAHAHAHA! Finally I have defeated my most hated enemy and taken down the most powerful Princess in the history of Equestria!" Queen Chrysalis soon spots Thunderbolt hiding behind Rarity, "Well, what have we here?" she asks and then levitates Thunderbolt over to herself.

"No!" Twilight shouts. She and the mane six struggle even more to get free.

"And who might you be, my little one?" Chrysalis asks.

"None of your business Chrysalis!" Thunderbolt replies as he spits in her eye.

"UGH!" Queen Chrysalis shouts with disgust, "You're going to wish you hadn't done that!" Chrysalis throws Thunderbolt out of the window, he plummets to his doom.

"No! Thunderbolt!" Twilight shouts.

Queen Chrysalis then lets out a maniacal laugh...."MWAHAHAHAHA!"

Thunderbolt spins in mid air as he falls to his doom. Suddenly a large lighting bolt from the dark clouds above, strikes Thunderbolt with a great flash of yellow light! "AAAARRRRGGGGHHHHHH!!!!!" Thunderbolt screams in pain as his cutie mark suddenly forms on the side of his flank. His eyes then begin to glow a bright white and his wings get a massive surge of energy. Thunderbolt with a crack of thunder sets off flying straight back up to the castle.

Queen Chrysalis points her horn at Twilight, "Now I, Queen Chrysalis, shall be the first pony in history to destroy the most powerful Princess in all of--"

"Do you ever stop talking about yourself?" Twilight interrupts.

"Silence!" Queen Chrysalis yells, "This ends now!" she shouts as she fires a massive green blast at Twilight.

"NOOOOOOO!" shout Twilight's friends as they watch in horror.

Twilight closes her eyes and places her head down accepting defeat.

Thunderbolt comes crashing through the roof of the castle just in time to land in front of Twilight as the blast hits.

"TWILIGHT!!!" the mane five call out.

Chrysalis laughs with amusement, "MWHAHAHAHAHAHA!" Just then the smoke clears and Twilight is unharmed along with Thunderbolt. Twilight lifts up her face and sees Thunderbolt standing right in front of her, (by the way Thunderbolt is standing on his hind hooves), Twilight and her friends gasp. Queen Chrysalis stares at Thunderbolt with a very unhappy look on her face, "Impossible!"

Thunderbolt moves his hooves in a circular motion charging his electricity, "When you're a Christian, Nothing is impossible!" Thunderbolt then fires a giant blast of yellow lightning at Chrysalis.

"NNNNOOOOOOOO!!!!" screams Chrysalis as she is sent flying out of the castle and into the sky disappearing once and for all. The blast is so strong that it ends up destroying all of the green goo everywhere freeing the mane 6 and the Princesses. Thunderbolt's eyes begin to flicker and then turn back to normal, he blinks twice before fainting shortly afterward.

Thunderbolt awakes to somepony calling his name.

"Thunderbolt!!!" Twilight calls out.

Thunderbolt slowly opens his eyes to see Twilight and the mane 6 standing around him. "What happened!?!?" Thunderbolt leans up and looks around frantically, "Please tell me nopony kissed me?!?!"

Pinkie Pie rolls her eyes in Thunderbolt's direction with a smile on her face. "Well--"

Celestia walks up to the mane 6 and clears her throat.

Twilight turns around and shouts, "Princess Celestia!" as she runs to give her a big hug.

"Hello Twilight", Celestia says with a smile, "What are you all doing here?" she asks.

Twilight lets go of Celestia, "I was just about to ask you the same question, What was Queen Chrysalis doing here?"

Celestia turns her face away from Twilight, "It was a trap... we never saw it coming...."

"She took my sister and I by surprise... we thought she was you" says Luna as she walks up and stands beside Celestia, "But the important thing is, that you saved us and put a stop to Queen Chrysalis."

"Well actually Princess Luna it wasn't me, it was--"

Celestia spots Thunderbolt on the ground, "Who is this?"

Twilight turns around to look down at Thunderbolt and says, "Um...well It's actually a really funny story..."

One funny story later... (<- read this in the most dorky way possible)

"And that is why we came to see you..." Twilight says with a sigh.

Celestia shoots a glare at Thunderbolt as he leans back feeling intimidated.

"So do you know where he came from?" Twilight asks.

Celestia walks closer to Thunderbolt and leans in for a better look, "Hmmmm...." Celestia says as she examines Thunderbolt.

"Does he look foreign sister?" Luna asks.

"He doesn't look like anything foreign..." Celestia replies.

"Hey!" Thunderbolt says feeling slightly offended, "I'm not... foreign?"

"He doesn't sound any different from the ponies in our colture either", says Celestia.

"So you don't know where he came from... do you Princess Celestia?" Twilight asks.

Celestia looks down at Twilight with an unsure expression on her face, "I'm afraid not...."

"WAIT A MINUTE!" Rainbow Dash says as she butts into the conversation, "So what...he's just gonna stay here!?!"

"I'm afraid so..." Celestia replies.

Rainbow Dash glares at Thunderbolt, "But he doesn't belong here!!! Can't you just send him back to where he came from!?!"

Celestia shakes her head. "UGH!" Rainbow Dash says with frustration as she flaps away from the conversation.

"Looks like you're gonna be stuck with that pony for a little while, until I can get more information on the whereabouts of where he came from" explains Celestia as she looks directly at Twilight.

Twilight looks back at Thunderbolt as he gets up from the floor and dusts himself off, "I'm pretty sure I'll work something out...Thank you for your help Princess Celestia and Princess Luna", Twilight says as she bows down to both of them and they bow back. Twilight, her friends, and Thunderbolt exit the throne room with Celestia still staring at Thunderbolt.

"Hmmmm..." Celestia says feeling very suspicious.

Luna looks up at her sister, "Everything alright, my dear sister?" Luna asks.

"Yes... I'm alright", says Celestia with a very uneasy expression on her face, while the doors close slowly behind Twilight and her friends as they leave the castle.

The mane 6 take the train back home to Ponyville. On the way there, they begin to talk about everything that had just happened.

"Man! I would have to say that is by far the most exciting visit we have ever had to Canterlot Castle!!!" Pinkie Pie says, "I mean first we were there to talk about our newcomer but then, Chrysalis showed up and Rarity was all like EW! Then we were all like UGH! And Twilight was all like Grrrrrr! But then Thunderbolt was all like--"

Twilight puts a hoof over Pinkie Pie's mouth, "Pinkie Pie!", Twilight shouts, We can't let anypony know about that!"

"Why not?" asks Rainbow Dash.

"Because, Rainbow Dash, if anypony knows who we are taking into Ponyville and how powerful he could be, it could start a massive panic!" Twilight says.

"I don't think it was even a good idea to check out that crater in the first place!" shouts Rainbow Dash with anger, "If we never would have gone to see what it was, we never would have been in this mess!"

"I think it was a good idea that we went to that crater", Rarity says, "I mean there is no telling who else would have found him."

"Would ya'll stop yelling at one another!" Applejack shouts, "I mean, it's not like it's gonna fix anything! What is done is done!" The mane 6 continue to debate with one another as Thunderbolt sits in the far back end of the train, far away from the yelling.

"Dear God", Thunderbolt prays, "I don't know what is really going on here or why You brought me here, but I know that You are in control of all things and that in due time You will work everything out as You say in Romans 8:28." Fluttershy watches Thunderbolt as he prays. "I pray that you will give me the faith to trust in You with all my heart", Thunderbolt continues, "No matter what the circumstances, in Jesus name, Amen." Thunderbolt puts his head in his arms as he lays on the table in front of him. Fluttershy simply stares at him as the train pulls into the station.

Once the train comes to a complete stop, the mane 6 get off the train with Thunderbolt following close behind. In the distance, the sun begins to go down in the horizon.

"Looks like it's getting late you guys, we better head home" says Twilight.

"Well I'm gone, good luck with that... thing you have there with you Twilight" Rainbow Dash says as she flies off into the sky.

"I'm going to get going too, darling", says Rarity as she yawns, "So goodnight girls", Rarity walks off to her boutique. Before long everypony else goes their separate ways as well, and soon it is just Twilight and Thunderbolt left at the train station. Thunderbolt starts to walk off into Ponyville.

"Where are you going?" Twilight calls out to him.

"I'm going to find someplace to stay, for who knows how long I'm gonna be staying here."

"How about you come stay with me and Spike" says Twilight with a smile.

Thunderbolt looks back at Twilight and asks, "Really!?!"

"Yeah, I'm sure Spike won't mind having another pony stay with us", Twilight replies.

Thunderbolt runs up and gives Twilight a big hug, "Thank you so much Twilight!!!!!"

"Um.... you're welcome Thunderbolt", Twilight says. Thunderbolt lets go of Twilight and starts walking towards her Library.

"Wait!" Twilight calls out, but Thunderbolt doesn't hear her, "How does he know where he is going?" Twilight asks herself, but she just shrugs it off and follows Thunderbolt to her Library.

"Well here we are", Twilight says as she walks inside her tree house.

Thunderbolt comes in behind her and looks around the place, "I like it...it's very uh... spacious", says Thunderbolt with a smile.

"Your room is up there", she says pointing upstairs.

Thunderbolt looks up to where Twilight is pointing, "Oh thanks Twilight, Well goodnight" , says Thunderbolt as he walks upstairs to his room.

"Goodnight!" Twilight calls back.

Thunderbolt walks into his room, shuts the door behind him, and hops on his bed only to fall off the edge, "OUCH!", Thunderbolt screams in pain, "Every stinkin time!" Filled with frustration he climbs back onto his bed. "Man what a day, I can't believe I'm in Ponyville this must be a dream come true", he says with confidence, "Sure Queen Chrysalis got in the way and I got struck by lightning, but it was no big deal." he puts the covers over him and looks up at the ceiling, "But still, I could have died when I was thrown out of that window... so what happened when I blacked out?" Thunderbolt looks down at his side, "Wait, where did this come from?"
