Rise of the Prince of Justice

  Eclipse’s healing rate is amazingly significate, just 1 week after awakening, he can already talk, communicate, and do basically everything a normal Pegasus can do, except for flying, of course.

“Alright Captain, looks like you are getting well really quickly and I happy about that. According to your health report you are basically set for leaving. I already helped you register leaving tomorrow. So right now just take your time and take some rest.” The doctor said.

  “Brilliant… Can’t believe I actually stayed in this place for 13 years. For Celestia’s sake I’m finally leaving here…” Eclipse mumbled to himself, glad that he can finally carry on with his live.

  It’s 8am in the next day. Eclipse got up quite early this day, and now he’s fully awake and ready to leave this hospital. He walked out of the ward, took an elevator and reached ground floor really swiftly. Just when he is about to step out of the main door of the hospital, the doctor stopped him by yelling his name loud. Raising his front hoof, the doctor gave Eclipse a name card of him.

  “Before you go Captain, here’s my name card. If you have any issue with your health or anything, do feel free to contact me. I will always be ready and at your service anytime.” The doctor bowed at Eclipse.

  Eclipse took a look at the name card held be his left wing and said, “OK then. Thank you for taking care of me for these 13 years, Doctor…Blitzkrieg?”

  The doctor gave Eclipse a warm and welcoming grin. “Alright then Captain, it’s a big world out there waiting for you.”

  “Alright then, goodbye doc.” Eclipse waved a hoof and said goodbye to the doctor. He started trotting down the pathway.

  “Dr. Blitzkrieg? That name sounded so… familiar… but I don’t remember where and when we met…” Eclipse started wondering about this Dr. Blitzkrieg which he thinks he had met him in the past. Before reaching the end of the hospital pathway, he stopped and turned his head back and look at the hospital. The doctor is still standing there, and there stood a sign there next to the main hospital building, with bold, red words it writes,

“Ponyville Central Hospital”

  He continued walking and started thinking, “So I’m at Ponyville… Well now I can’t return to Cloudsdale, I have nothing here at all, I guess it’s better for me to find a new place to call home, a new job to earn some bits and probably some friends to help me out with my current situation…”

  After a few hours of aimless wandering around the town, he found a place to rest, a bench outside a fashion shop.

  “Hmm… Looks like a great place for me to start. Maybe I can find a job in there, and some pony to help me too.” Eclipse thought to himself.

  “Dling – Dling” the door chimes rang as he pushed the shop’s door open. Inside the shop there are around 7 ponies, chatting with each other.

  “Oh welcome there darling, is there anything that I may help you?” A white mare with purple, curly mane spoke, with a foreign accent he’s pretty sure she’s no local pony.

  “Hang on girls…” A yellow and orange mare interrupted before Eclipse can even speak a single word.

  “If I’m not mistaken, this stallion is Captain Eclipse from the Wonderbolts! That great war hero who suddenly just disappeared 13 years ago after King Sombra’s invasion!” The mare spoke excitedly.

  “Wow… That’s kind of surprising… I didn’t expect some pony actually knows me. Am I really that famous?” Eclipse is very surprised to know that some pony actually knows him.

  “Of course we do! Oh, where are my manners? I’m sorry for that. My name’s Spitfire, the current Drill Sergeant of the Wonderbolts, you can call me Spitz. Nice to meet you, legend.” The yellow-orange pony replied, showing total respect towards the war hero in the Wonderbolts.

  “And my name’s Rainbow Dash, you can call me Dashie.” Another Pegasus mare with cyan fur, rainbow-like mane and a pair of rose red eyes spoke after Spitfire, “And these are my friends: Twilight Sparkle, Rarity, Applejack, Pinkie Pie, Fluttershy. I’m now a Team Captain in the Wonderbolts.”

  “Well thanks everypony, but as you can see, I have lost my right wing after the war and can’t remember a lot of stuff from the past. Needless to say I knew nothing in these 13 years since I fell into a coma since that explosion. Now that I’m unable to fly, I can’t go back to my home at Cloudsdale and I most likely need to start a new life here in Ponyville.” He turned his body to show them that his right wing is gone.

  “Well that’s not a problem at all, Eclipse. I know a friend that needs to hire a new assistant. She is willing to pay for the assistant and gives him a place to stay. If you are interested, I suggest you go check her out. She’s a magician and a performer in Ponyville. By the way I’m Twilght Sparkle, and you can call me Twilight” Twilight Sparkle said with a warm grin on her face.

  “Awesome! I can’t wait to meet her” Eclipse replied, looking really thrilled and happy.

“And for tonight, you can stay in my castle. I have a spare guest room, or you can stay until you find yourself a new place to stay.” Twilight suggested, she is definitely curious about this stallion’s backstory.

  “Wait… Your … Castle?” Eclipse seemed to be really confused about the word – castle.

  For his reaction Twilight simply smirked, “Well I will explain later on, but it’s getting late now. Alright girls that’s it for today, See you all tomorrow!”

  “Bye Twilight!” they all said goodbye to Twilight.

  “We’ll talk after we arrived there.”

  Twilight closed her eyes, a bright red aura started emitting at her horn and all in a sudden, “Poof”. They are inside a massive structure; they are in Twilight’s castle. Eclipse immediately felt really sick and almost want to vomit.

  “What on Equestria just happened?” Eclipse asked, still trying to render what just happened.

  “Nothing, it’s just my teleportation spell. For the first time using this spell it can make you feel sick, just

like what I did before, but it won’t last long.”

  After a short rest, Eclipse felt much better and started to look around the castle. “So you own THIS castle… on your own?” He is totally amazed by the size of this building. This is also a thing rather surprising for him, considering his memory lost and space perspective error is constantly affecting him from sensing the environment around him.

  “Yes! Every alicorn in Equestria have the privilege to own a castle! And just so you know I’m also an alicorn princess, The Princess of Friendship. Well theoretically this castle is mine, I actually own this castle with my other 5 friends and my personal assistant, Spike.” She stretched her wings towards Eclipse, proofing that she’s a legitimate alicorn princess.

  “Great! Do tell me more things in these 13 years. I want to catch up what had happened.”

  They started chatting about pretty much everything in Equestria, the history, the peace after the war. Their conversation lasted until midnight and still going.

  Suddenly, a knocking on the castle door disturbed the absolute silence inside the building, making a gentle knock echoes into a large banging noise.

  “Come in, door’s not locked” She replied.

  The castle door slowly opened with a squeak. Outside stood 2 pegasi, one being Spitfire, another being Rainbow Dash. Behind them stacked boxes upon boxes of books and tools inside.

  “Dashie? Spitz? What are you two ponies doing here at this time of the day?” Eclipse asked.

  “Alright there legend. We know you can’t go back to Cloudsdale to get your stuff back, so we contacted the Property Management Department to finally reach your house to bring you all of your stuff” Spitfire said, looking extremely exhausted.

  “Alright, thanks Spitz, thanks Dashie, you two should really get some rest now, you do look really tired.” Eclipse thanked the two mares.

  “Gotta go sleep now, bye bye then.” Rainbow Dash yawned with her mouth wide open, she then dashed away from the castle, leaving a rainbow track in the midnight sky.

  “Well then, see you later legend. I think I should go get some rest now.” Spitfire then flapped her wings and flew away.

  Twilight levitated the boxes with her magic and took them all into the castle. She then gently closed the castle door with her hind hoof.

  After Twilight have put down the boxes on the floor, they both started to unbox the contents immediately, looking forward to know about the contents. The content consists mostly of books about engineering, in which Twilight seemed to be really interested as she started scanning through them like a starving bookworm. Inside the boxes there are also those high-tech tools that looks weird and cool at the same time.

  “So you do read a lot of books before, don’t you?” Twilight asked curiously, while her vision never even leave the pages.

  “Well, I guess so… I can’t remember. But I guess ‘Yes’ is the answer for an engineer who built such weapons before…”

  “It seems you will have some serious revision to do before you become an engineer again, Eclipse.” Twilight said, half joking.

“Yeah… Why not?....”
