Tales of Ponyville P1

Previous ChapterNext Chapter

Ember and Zephyr sat at the top of Ponyville Clocktower. Idly chatting as they watched the ponies below.

"I can't believe you left me behind!"

Maybe idle chatting wasn't the best turn for what was happening.

"I'm so sorry Emby!" Zephyr pleaded with her hands together as Embers flames flared.

"You know I have navigation issues!"Ember said hurt and the bird Frame bowed lower.

"I know, I know I'm sorry!" Zephyr apologized again.

Ember huffed but thought for a moment. "It wasn't all bad I guess. So by the time I gave up I was face down in the dirt just done with the world when this little purple and green thing waddles up to me asking if I'm alright and guess what."

"What?" Zephyr asked eagerly.

"It's a dragon like an actual fire-breathing dragon!" Ember put her hands on either side of her helmet excited, and they both cooed excitedly. "Even better he's a baby dragon!"

Zephyr took a deep intake of air then "EEE'd" excited while Ember nodded just as happy. The Bird-Frame went quiet as a thought went through her head.

"Wait why was a baby dragon all alone?" She asked worried, but Ember held up a hand to hang on.

"I thought the same thing and trust me if that cutie was all alone I'd have snatched him up and never let go." She mimed snatching him up and snuggling the little dragon affectionately

Zephyr nodded thinking deeply about Little Bird. "Then you really would have been a mother hen." She said pointing up. Oblivious to Embers glare at the chicken joke. Until her fiery friend pushed her off the tower. But Zephyr jet streamed back up to her perch casually before rubbing the back of her neck and laughing airheadedly. "Sorry forgot about the chicken jokes Emby."

Ember shook her head at her friend as they looked off into the afternoon sky.

Elsewhere in Rarity's Boutique.

Rarity watched with dazzled eyes and baited breath as Frost formed giant fractals in his hands. Each a unique design as Rarity sketched each one down to the last detail. A nice cup of cocoa steamed pleasantly in the chilled air.

"Simply magnificent Frost darling. These will make my winter line." She paused for effect. "Perfect!" She marveled as Frost moved the Fractal to the bin with the others. The Red Prime leaned over to look at the masterful recreations of his work. The Icy designs weren't the only drawings. There were several sketches of him as he made the ice, each in varying degrees of detail.

There even seemed to be a hat based on his Prime helmet for a pony. Where the arches sat behind the ear and his single optic rested just where the bridge of the muzzle started. There was a downright perfect Vasto laying on its side sketched to the last detail.

"You really liked my Vasto didn't you?" Rarity paused at his words and looked at her drawing again.

"There just so elegant and efficiently designed." Rarity explained, and Frost nodded understanding perfectly. The Vasto's aesthetic was Ninety percent what made him choose the pistol in the first place. Rarity's eyes flashed wide with inspiration "Idea!" She sang out then flipped the page and began feverishly sketching out a pony form of Frost's coat with one of the Fractals designed into the back. But stopped suddenly "Frost dear what is it you said your coats made out of again?"

Frost rubbed the back of his head. "I'd have to check the wiki but I dought anything you could find on this planet in enough quantities," Frost admitted hoping he didn't kill the mares ambition.

"Hmm right... I may be able to use some alternatives. But Frost spider thread takes so long to deliver." She let out with a slight whine trying to think. When Sweetie Belle walked in with a juice box.

"Why not ask Ordis Sis? He can take you anywhere you need to go." She said nonchalantly, and Rarity looked from her sister to Frost as her eyes slowly filled with stars at the idea. Frost started to back away slowly raising his hands as if to defend himself. His fear grew the larger her smile got.

"Oh no."

Elsewhere at Golden Oak's Library.

Twilight sat with a notepad as she organized her notes. Nekros sat in the loft pouting still. Here he was the Tenno of death stuck on the most colorful, most sickly cute planet ever, with nothing to do. He turned his head to look at the purple unicorn whose mark he shared due to cosmic humor.

"Ok just to make sure I have this right." Twilight started, and Nekros groaned letting the back of his helmet bang against the tree wall.

"We've gone over this three times already!" He groaned.

"Ya well, "Mister" dominion over souls and Death it'self isn't very clear." She fired back, and he sighed.

"What do you even want with Necromancy anyway? You gonna revive your lost pet or something? News flash I don't operate like that." He snipped waving a hand dismissively.

"But it's not Necromancy," Twilight stated bluntly this got Nekros to look at her.

"What did you say?" He asked with an edge to his voice.

"It's like saying Arch-duke theory and Mage theory are the same things." She mocked, and he glared at her from above. "They may look similar, but they're not." She finished and waited for him to argue. He jumped down next to her, and she didn't flinch when he crouched down to look her in the smug eyes. He grabbed her by the barrel and tucked her under his arm growling slightly. She teleported out of his grasp in purple pop. "What are you trying to do Nekros?"

"I'm taking you to the biggest graveyard in the area, and I'm showing you that I'm a Necromancer!" He huffed, and Twilight's eyes flashed happily as she smiled.

"Finally a demonstration! But it's still not Necromancy." She added with a smirk and Nekros threw his hands in the air.

"What part of raising the dead is not Necromancy?" He shouted at his wit's end.

"Look Necromancy is the full reanimation of a corpse. Everything you've described is taking your energy and molding it into the shape of whatever you "killed."

"Why were there quotations there?" He asked and put a hand on his hip.

"Because you haven't killed anything here," Twilight said quickly, and the frame stormed off, but Twilight looked the other direction. "Um, Ponyville cemetery is that way?"

"I said the biggest Cemetery Light Bright. The biggest is the one full of fruit." Necros said as he continued to walk. Twilight felt a chill go down her spine but followed the skeletal frame. "in the meantime explain what the difference between Arch-Duke and Mage." Nekros heard her take a breath and turned around quickly giving her a stern look. "Sentences not Paragraphs light bright!" She recoiled but looked thoughtful as she tried to think out her wording as they walked.

Even more Elsewhere at Fluttershy's Cottage.

Nyx stared at a chicken intently, she was down on all fours looking at a red and orange chicken. "Ember is that you?" She asked trying to sound serious despite holding back giggles. "How'd you get so small?" She finally couldn't hold it in any longer and burst out laughing at her own joke. The Rooster did not appreciate being laughed at as he fluffed up letting out a war crow as he flung himself at her helmet. Nyx yelped at the poultry which was pecking his way through her shields.

"Ah! Fluttershy help!" She cried out as she flailed her arms and stood not wanting to hurt the animal.

But Fluttershy was deaf to her cries as she stared at the gold and pink throwing stars. She thought about everything Nyx had told her about the world. A whole universe of people and animals, doing terrible things to each other. So many bullies she thought remembering her own tormentors from school. She imagined if she'd had a warframe what kind of good could she do. The yellow pegasus reached a hoof out and touched one of the stars.

"Holy void farts why are their so many!" Nyx screamed as she ran past the window covered in chickens that pecked and scratched at her. Startling the Pegasus, Fluttershy yelped pulling back a bleeding hoof putting it in her mouth to stop the bleeding as she flew out to help frantically shouting chicken names.

The Final FrontElsewhere.

Pinkie trotted alongside Excalibur as they walked through Ponyville market. It reminded the Frame of Cetus. He and Pinkie were talking about the parties. Pinkie was planning next.

"So we still need streamers and balloons right?" He asked looking up from the list to make sure he was right.

"Yepa ronnie. for the Birthdays at least." She sang out, and Cal switched lists.

"We also need wood and straw for practice dummies."

"Exactly." She said a tiny bit more serious. Cal switched to the third list.

"Three Birthdays, two newcomers, and one anniversary just today." Cal looked through the rest of the lengthy list. "By the Void how do you keep up with it all?" He asked feeling his head spin from the sheer amount of details needed to be remembered.

"Because it's my special talent silly. To bring smiles to all my friends." Pinkie said as if it was the most natural thing. Cal stopped

"But everyone is your friend..."

"I know isn't it great!" She cheered throwing her hooves in the air with confetti out of nowhere. Cal shook his head,

"Pinkie you fascinate and terrify me all at the same time."

"I know I get that a lot." She chuckled as they kept walking passing booth after booth. When they passed a corpus man sitting cross-legged on the floor behind a blue mat filled with all kinds of trinkets. A Grineer lancer with a crooked head stood idly by as he waved at all the colorful ponies.

"Hey Tenno." The Corpus man greeted with an accent that could only be described as Brooklyn car salesman. "Clem" The lancer greeted the only way he could and Cal waved

"Hey Darvo, hey Clem." He greeted back without thinking as they walked past. The Excalibur stopped mid-step with the sound of breaking glass as his brain caught up to him. The set of blue "eyes" blared brightly, as the Frame turned his head so fast by all logic it should have snapped.

"DARVO!?"
