The Journey Begins

The Journey Begins

It was a fine clear day. The golden sun was blazing brightly, the emerald trees were overgrowing obscurely and the sapphire sea was torrenting triumphantly. The landscape was looking quite pleasant. This was simply just a typical day in Equestria.

A young blue alicorn pony entered the scene. Her name was Angelica. Her mane and tail were coloured teal, lilac and indigo and she had a cutie mark resembling a light feather. With her mane and tail raised up, Angelica started to crouch down.

“Focus the magic.” said Angelica, preparing for the biggest challenge yet.

She suddenly closed her eyes and lowered her head. Her horn started to glow as it produced a strange energy. Within a few minutes, the energy was finally released. Angelica opened her eyes to find herself propelling backwards in a rapid manner. She crashed into a tree that was behind her and fell down onto the ground, stunned with the force of the impact.

“Angelica!” called a voice, which Angelica heard as soon as she recovered.

Another pony had arrived. Like Angelica, this one was also an alicorn. However, she was older and was coloured pink. She had a violet, rose, mauve and magenta mane and tail and had a cutie mark resembling a vibrating heart.

“How are you doing?” she asked, with a stern look on her face.

“Not good, Seraphina.” said Angelica apologetically. “I still need some more practising.”

“It’s okay.” answered Seraphina, cheering up. “You’ve got much more to learn.”

“Really?” questioned Angelica, not sure she had heard was right.

“Of course.” confirmed Seraphina. “You’ll be just fine.”

“I guess we better get home.” sighed Angelica, realising it is getting late.

“Come on, let’s get going.” instructed Seraphina, as she and Angelica left the scenario.

As Angelica and Seraphina walked on, they came towards a ruined temple. Seraphina placed her hoof on a symbol carved on the wall, and suddenly the door opened. Seraphina and Angelica entered inside. As they went up the staircase, they arrived by the corridor. Seraphina went towards a hidden room, with Angelica following close by.

“There we go.” said Seraphina, entering with Angelica by her side.

Inside the room, there were four beds, a large bookshelf and a blackboard hanged up against the wall. There were also two alicorn ponies, who were the same age as Seraphina, residing there. The first was coloured green, her mane, tied in a ponytail, and tail were olive, hazel, turquoise and cyan and she had a cutie mark resembling a blooming flower. The second was coloured yellow, her mane, tied in braids, and tail were orange, cream, amber and magenta and she had a cutie mark resembling a gleaming thunderbolt.

“Good day, Seraphina.” said the green pony, who was reading a book.

“Did you fetch Angelica again?” asked the yellow pony, who was doing calculus on the blackboard.

“Uh, sure thing.” answered Seraphina, approaching her two sisters.

“Hi, Persephone! Hi, Katherine!” shouted Angelica, narrowly rushing in.

“So, what have you been up to?” questioned Persephone, still flipping pages of her book.

“Just learning how to become stronger!” replied Angelica, with a cheery reaction. “How about you?”

“We’re trying to come up with new inventions.” responded Katherine, still thinking what to write next.

“When I grow up, I’m going to be like you guys!” announced Angelica, always as determined as ever.

“I’m sure you will some day!” answered Persephone, being so supportive.

“Maybe it will happen soon!” added Katherine, being so predictive.

“Thank you so much!” concurred Angelica, expressing gratitude. “I can always trust you!”

“Heh, we all have goals!” declared Seraphina, being so affirmative. “It’s just how we achieve them!”

“Well, all of that is making me sleepy.” sighed Angelica, feeling rather tired.

“Good idea, let’s rest for now.” stated Seraphina, as she, Persephone and Katherine went to their beds.

“Tomorrow will be another day.” concurred Angelica, soon joining in.

Later that night, Seraphina, Persephone and Katherine were all fast asleep. However, Angelica was still awake. As soon as she felt drowsy, she saw something in the sky outside of the window.

“Huh? What is that?” said Angelica, not believing what she just saw.

That thing, whatever it was, looked very strange. It was like a small dot surrounded by light, causing it to glow at every time it appeared. It was moving very fast, nearly as if it was speeding, down towards the ground. As soon as it disappeared from view, a loud crashing sound echoed across the landscape.

“Oh, I’ll have to tell them about that.” shuddered Angelica, thinking about the strange thing as she then went to sleep.

The next day, Angelica was first to wake up. She quickly jumped out of bed walked up towards Seraphina’s bed, trying in vain to encourage her to get up.

“Seraphina, wake up!” yelled Angelica, urging Seraphina do exactly that.

“Ugh, now what?” yawned Seraphina, slowly opening her eyes.

“Yeah, what’s going on?” groaned Persephone, disturbed by the sudden noise.

“Can’t I just sleep for five more minutes?” moaned Katherine, feeling quite distracted.

“I just saw something strange last night.” admitted Angelica, waiting for the appropriate reaction.

“Are you sure?” asked Seraphina, finally recovering from her sleep.

“Yeah, it looked shiny, came from the sky and it was heading towards the ground!” cried Angelica, acting ever so desperate.

“It must be one of your imaginations.” muttered Persephone, still feeling exhausted.

“No way that could happen.” grumbled Katherine, feeling fatigued as ever.

“Why won’t you believe me?” Angelica grumbled, trying to convince her sisters.

“No, she’s right! As the Space Star Sisters, we’re always looking for everything extraordinary!” demanded Seraphina, ordering her sisters to prepare themselves.

“Then what are you waiting for? Let’s go!” shouted Angelica, rushing out of the room. Seraphina, Persephone and Katherine soon followed her.

Angelica was always ready for adventures, because she loved extreme things that would be likely to happen. There was no doubt everything was waiting for her. Like her fellow Space Star Sisters, she was determined to discover the mysteries thriving beyond the land of Equestria.

The Thing From Above

The Thing From Above

Angelica was dashing along the landscape, eager to discover the strange thing that she just saw. Following behind her, the Space Star Sisters were also determined to find out things extraordinary. Nevertheless, they were always ready to face anything waiting for them.

“It must be around here somewhere!” declared Angelica, still searching for whatever the strange thing was.

“Maybe it decides to go wherever it wants to.” proclaimed Katherine, always confident with things happening.

“Things don’t work that way.” rebuked Persephone, in a nagging tone.

“Oh, like you can make stuff up!” snapped Katherine, irritated by a sudden remark.

Noticing her sisters’ rising anger, Seraphina placed both wings around their necks.

“Ladies, trust me, arguments just aren’t worth having.” she told them in a calm manner.

“Well, I think it went that way!” shouted Angelica, running off to the distance.

“I guess we better get going.” persuaded Seraphina, as she, Persephone and Katherine soon followed close by.

After what seems like hours later, the Space Star Sisters were restlessly migrating across the vast landscape of Equestria.

“Are you sure that it was real?” asked Seraphina, concerned about how far they had gone.

“Of course! That’s the whole point!” replied Angelica, determined to discover whatever it was that appeared.

“What were we thinking? Now we’re going nowhere!” cried Persephone, realising the situation they were in.

“Don’t worry, I’m sure we can find it by now.” comforted Seraphina, always sure about what is going on.

Suddenly, the world had gone completely dark. A huge shadow was lurking over everything underneath it, the wind was howling rapidly and a loud screeching noise can be heard many miles from a far away distance.

“It’s bad enough we’re going nowhere, now it’s getting late already.” groaned Katherine, cringing.

“Wait, that’s not it.” enquired Angelica, noticing that it was something quite familiar.

Sure enough, it was quite familiar. As the shadow expanded, something crash landed onto the ground. It was a creature, but it was no ordinary one. It was a qilin, a strange beast that is a hybrid between a horse and a dragon. It had a long horn on its head, sharp fangs, a lengthy neck, pointed claws at its hooves, wide wings with membranes and an extended tail. It also had a long, hairy beard that was coloured white like clouds. It was coloured bright red and its mane was coloured orange. Its cutie mark was sort of like a star that was coloured gold. Suddenly, the Space Star Sisters had realised who this was.

“Emperor Harmodius.” stated Seraphina, as she, Persephone and Katherine gradually bowed down.

“Well, such pleasure that we meet once again.” the qilin spoke in a deep, rumbling voice.

“Oh, hi.” shuddered Angelica, being nervous at the fact of a newcomer in her presence.

“I would like to introduce you to Angelica, our newest member.” announced Seraphina, focusing her attention to her younger sister.

“Hey, I’ve never met you before.” murmured Angelica, coming long as quitely as she could do so.

“Indeed. I do believe that this is the first time I have met you.” said Harmodius, his eyes staring down at the young alicorn.

“It was quite an honour.” proclaimed Persephone, in an embarrassed tone.

“Much appreciated about that.” answered Katherine, standing proud as ever.

“Tell me, what brings you here?” grunted Harmodius, his tone getting more serious.

“We’re looking for a strange thing that fell from the sky.” replied Seraphina, remembering why they were here.

“Yeah, it looked so dazzling and it was going down very fast!” exclaimed Angelica, eager to discover whatever it was.

“Hmph? Now that is interesting. Well, it seems that thing is what experts like me call a meteorite.” declared Harmodius, preparing to give a lecture to the Space Star Sisters.

“A meteorite?” questioned Angelica, not sure about what that really meant.

“A meteorite. It is a type of stone that had originated from the vast depths of outer space. It generates mass energy once as it soon reaches the atmosphere.” explained Harmodius, turning his attention towards the sky.

“So how did it even get there?” questioned Seraphina, wanting to learn more about this spectacular topic.

“If a meteorite enters the atmosphere, it gets affected by gravity as its speed accelerates. Its direction can be dependent on velocity and mass. Therefore it will cause impact once it collides with the earth.” clarified Harmodius, looking down at the ground.

“I never knew we had learned something new!” chirped Persephone, bewildered how this topic has taught her.

“I shall have to find out when I think about that!” squealed Katherine, fascinated about learning this latest subject.

“Of course. Now according to my calculations, you must head to the alpine mountains, turn left at the frozen arctic, and keep going until you reach the tropical forest. It is located in the arid desert on the right.” instructed Harmodius, describing the location.

“You can always trust us, we’ll find it in no time!” declared Seraphina, looking as confident as ever.

“Well, I grant you best wishes. Now if you excuse me, I must leave.” concluded Harmodius, as he stretched his wings, began to take off and flew away into the distance.

“You think what he said was true?” asked Angelica, remembering the advice that was given to her.

“Yeah, I’m sure that was right.” replied Seraphina, knowing what to do next.

“So if we know our direction, we have to get moving!” answered Persephone, pointing to where they were heading.

“What are we waiting for? Come on then!” responded Katherine, rushing towards the next destination.

Seraphina and Persephone joined Katherine, with Angelica following behind them.

“Let’s go find the meteorite!” called Angelica, ready for a new challenge.

So with a new destination ahead of them, the Space Star Sisters continued their journey. They were eager to discover the secret mystery of the meteorite. Nevertheless, they were always prepared to face whatever stands in their way.

The Mysterious Beyond

The Mysterious Beyond

The Space Star Sisters were migrating across the land, willing to discover the meteorite, a strange thing that had originated from outer space. Regardless, they were still trying to solve the many mysteries of its true purpose.

“Are we there yet?” asked Angelica, curious of how far they went.

“I’m sure we’ll get there soon.” replied Seraphina, keeping straight far ahead.

“So, we’re heading for the mountain, right?” enquired Persephone, remembering where to go next.

“Well, that’s the plan.” responded Katherine, getting more determined than ever.

So they continued to head on. As they were doing so, they had found themselves approaching towards something familiar. It was like a pile of landmass being approximately 1295 metre tall.

“Hey, does that remind you of something?” asked Seraphina, looking concerned by the aforementioned sighting in her presence.

“Not that I can tell.” replied Persephone, somewhat unsure how to deal with whatever the thing was.

“Who cares? I’m going!” exclaimed Angelica, dashing away as quickly as possible from her sisters.

“She’s right, you know.” chuckled Katherine, following the same way as Seraphina and Persephone followed her.

Scaling the mountain, Angelica was having the time of her life. She was rushing along the scenery, dodging at least every obstactle coming towards her. As told before, it seems that everything was waiting for her.

“I’m sure they’ll catch up by now.” Angelica said to herself, suddenly stopping to wait for her sisters.

Meanwhile, the other Space Star Sisters were following close behind, being as steady as possible. Being very careful, they were always prepared to face anything that gets in their way. Out of the three, Seraphina was just further ahead.

“Come on then, you slowpokes!” ordered Seraphina, trying to encourage Persephone and Katherine to get moving.

At last, they were able to reach their next stop, the place which is where Angelica was waiting patiently for them.

“Kept you waiting, huh?” teased Seraphina. Apart from leading her fellow Space Star Sisters, she enjoys playing jokes with her younger sister.

“Oh, let’s just get on with it already.” muttered Angelica, unamused by this unnecessary delay.

“Sorry.” apologised Seraphina, her expression getting serious.

By now, the Space Star Sisters were halfway up the mountain. Around them, the landscape became cloudy, just enough to obscure their direction. Despite this, they were still able to keep going.

“Hurry up, we’re nearly there!” called Angelica, determined to arrive at the next destination.

Finally, Seraphina, Persephone and Katherine caught up at the current position. They were starting to get exhausted but still decided to keep moving. Once they got here, Angelica stopped to wait for them.

“So, where do we go next?” asked Seraphina, feeling confident about the current situation.

“Straight on.” replied Katherine, moving away further ahead.

“Perhaps this can be real after all.” added Persephone, travelling higher up the mountain.

As the Space Star Sisters kept close together, they marched their way through the dried up terrain. Around them, the mist became more dense. Only until now, Angelica then stopped walking.

“Hey, check this out!” cried Angelica, noticing a strange thing in her presence.

“Oh, what is it now?” asked Katherine, wanting to get this over and done with.

“I can see a cave.” replied Angelica, eager to enter to new passage.

“I wonder what this means?” questioned Persephone, wanting to find out the reason behind it.

“Let’s go inside.” instructed Seraphina, moving further ahead of her sisters.

The Space Star Sisters began to walk towards the cave. By the time they got there, Angelica was first to arrive at the entrance. But as she reached forwards for the entrance, she was startled by something coming out from it.

“You here! Do you even dare?” boomed a deafening voice that echoed from inside the cave.

“Aaaaaah!” screamed Angelica, as she quickly ran towards Seraphina’s side.

Suddenly, a tall creature was emerging from the entrance of the cave. It was a giraffe, and he had a long neck and long legs. He was coloured yellow with brown spots all over him. He also wore an ear-ring on his left ear and several rings around his neck and left foreleg.

“You from around here?” demanded the giraffe, raising his front hooves as if he was preparing to charge into them.

“Why Goliath, that was uncalled for.” chastised Seraphina, rolling her eyes.

“Oh, sorry for that mood. I didn’t mean to be rude.” grumbled Goliath, apologising for his disrespectful behaviour.

“Seems like you hardly made any friends in your own life.” sneered Katherine, commenting on the giraffe’s manners.

“Now, now, Katherine.” scolded Persephone, glaring at her sister.

“Ah, reckon so. Now, what do you want to show?” questioned Goliath, expecting something from his four visitors.

“We’re looking for a meteorite.” answered Angelica, wandering away from Seraphina.

“If you got things in mind, come on inside.” added Goliath, walking back into his cave.

Angelica and the Space Star Sisters decided to followed on. As they entered the cave, they could see what was inside. There were colourful paintings, wooden statues, a table with several glass bottles, a metal cauldron, a hammock and of course, the giraffe himself.

“Welcome to my lair, where you have everything to share!” declared Goliath, presenting all of his decorations.

“Wow, this looks awesome!” cried Angelica, amazed by this announcement.

“So, do you know what it is?” asked Seraphina, wanting to find out more.

“Yes, I know that thing. It really shines like a bling.” declared Goliath, feeling proud that he had the same experience.

“That guy sure knows everything.” reminded Persephone, confident with the whole idea.

“The Emperor spoke to me. It’s not something I usually see.” remarked Goliath, explaining how the situation happened.

“Well that solves the case.” confirmed Katherine, determined to receive more information.

“By the way, it was the greatest thing I ever saw in any day.” added Goliath, rambling about one of his escapades.

“Well thanks, Goliath. It was nice meeting you. You were great help so far.” replied Seraphina, as she and her sisters were preparing to leave.

“I see. If you need something for free, come speak to me.” concluded Goliath, saying his farewells.

“Yeah, see you later!” called Angelica, as she quickly rushed out of the cave.

Emerging from the entrance, Angelica was running as fast as she can, just in time to see her sisters waiting for her.

“Okay, so now what?” asked Persephone, looking for somewhere to go next.

“I do believe that we’re heading for the arctic.” replied Seraphina, determined to keep on going.

“I think we better get moving.” declared Katherine, eager to get this get over and done with.

“Wait, how do we get there?” asked Persephone, thinking about any suitable direction.

“Why, we fly of course.” answered Seraphina, slowly walking towards a steep cliff.

“Oh, I am so there!” shouted Katherine, stretching her wings and flew up into the sky.

“Well, so am I!” cried Persephone, doing exactly the same action.

As her two sisters took off, Seraphina prepared to follow after them. However, as soon as she was leaving, she noticed that Angelica was lagging behind.

“Are you coming, Angelica?” asked Seraphina, waiting for her younger sister to come forward.

“I’m on my way!” called Angelica, as she quickly ran towards her older sister.

Soon the Space Star Sisters joined together, and once again they were off on another journey to a new direction. Now, the quest continues to reach the meteorite.

In the Middle of Nowhere

In the Middle of Nowhere

Angelica was having a wonderful time. She was soaring towards the clouds, which vanished when they came in contact. Behind her, the Space Star Sisters were also flying in the sky, trying to catch up.

“Wow! This is so amazing!” cried Angelica, swooping through the atmosphere.

With her sisters nearby, they were speeding quite rapidly. They were travelling so quickly, they were leaving behind a colourful trail in their path.

“Come on, everypony!” yelled Seraphina, as she moved a few steps further ahead.

Soon, the Space Star Sisters were approaching a new land mass. They plunged down with incredible acceleration, before stopping to land safely onto the ground. Angelica was lagging behind, but she kept up with her sisters.

“There we go! Another successful journey!” declared Persephone, stretching herself on the spot.

“Now is time to find that meteorite!” announced Katherine, rushing off somewhere else.

“Yeah, let’s get going!” proclaimed Seraphina, preparing for another challenge.

So once again, they started to walk off. However, while they were going, they noticed that Angelica was standing completely still.

“I hate to tell you, but where exactly are we?” asked Angelica, realising the situtation they were all in.

For once, Angelica was quite right. The scenery around them looks not too lively. It was a barren wasteland with a few dried grass and pieces of parched rocks. Indeed, it was the most unforgiving place yet.

“It’s very easy to get lost here.” enquired Persephone, looking rather worried.

“I guess we better get out of here.” bemoaned Katherine, shaking her head.

“Perhaps we should, you know, carry on.” suggested Seraphina, as she headed towards another direction.

The Space Star Sisters migrated from each landscape to another. By now, they were becoming very exhausted. No matter how far they had travelled, they were getting nowhere.

“We’re not getting out of here at this rate.” sighed Persephone, feeling very disappointed.

“Hey, now what’s happening?” questioned Katherine, as she looked right up into the sky.

Suddenly, the sky went dark. Black clouds started to appear, easily blocking the view. As they came together, a loud, rumbling noise can be heard. While that occurred, a flash of electricity shot down, striking the ground under it.

“Aaaaaaah!” the Space Star Sisters screamed, as the thunder storm continued to rage on.

“Run away!” Seraphina yelled, ordering her sisters to take cover.

Desperate for shelter, the Space Star Sisters were running as fast they could. Fortunately, they were moving so quickly that the lightning barely caught up with them. Only until then, they noticed a vacant burrow ahead of them.

“Get over here!” Angelica called, making way for her sisters to come inside.

Once they got indoors, Angelica, Seraphina, Persephone and Katherine were cramped together in a small, confined area. They felt uncomfortable, but thankfully they found somewhere to hide.

“You think it’s safe to come out?” Seraphina asked, still recovering from stress.

“I think so.” Angelica replied, carefully sneaking away outside.

Emerging from the shelter, Angelica, Seraphina, Persephone and Katherine check to see if their path was clear. Fortunately, the storm had subsided. They all gathered together, deciding where to go next.

“Now, where were we?” Katherine questioned, eager to continue their journey.

“I think it’s that way.” Persephone answered, pointing towards a nearby direction.

“Well, I suggest we move on.” Seraphina insisted, leading her sisters on the way.

“Uh, guys?” Angelica enquired, feeling quite nervous.

Suddenly, something else appeared in the sky. This time, it was so familiar. It was zooming towards them, with the sound of leathery wings flapping. It swooped down, claws outstretched, onto the ground as it landed with a thud.

“Emperor Harmodius!” Seraphina shouted, not quite believing her very own eyes. “What are you doing here?”

The qilin raised his long neck, shook his furry mane and stared at the Space Star Sisters with proud eyes.

“I had come to discover the meteorite myself.” Harmodius stated, with an essence of confidence in his voice. “That is, until I encountered you on the way.”

“I guess you want to join us.” Persephone beckoned, mused by the reason for the qilin’s presence.

“Correct.” Harmodius responded, with an honest expression. “Now, would I offer you assistance?”

“Oh, yeah!” Katherine cried, always enthusiastic for something waiting to happen.

“Then get on my back.” Harmodius ordered, slowly crouching down as he stretched his wings.

The Space Star Sisters did exactly what they were told, climbing onto the qilin and sitting together comfortably. Once they were all aboard, Harmodius stood up, began to speed up rapidly and took off just as his wings stretched again. In a few seconds, he flew up to the sky.

“Hey! I can’t keep up!” Angelica yelled, trying to hold on firmly so much that she almost lost her grip but only quickly grabbing Seraphina’s tail stopped her flinging off.

Meanwhile, Harmodius was rapidly soaring through the atmosphere. He was rapidly speeding towards the clouds, each of which vanished as soon as he reached them. He glided as swiftly as his wide wings would carry him. But for now, he was looking for somewhere to land.

“My friends.” Harmodius, announced as he approached another new landscape. “It seems that we are coming towards our next destination.”

Suddenly, Harmodius aimed downwards towards the ground. As the Space Star Sisters held on tightly, he flew really low. He finally landed with a thud, as he crouched down by lowering his wings.

“You may be dismissed.” Harmodius declared, as he turned to face the Space Star Sisters.

Angelica, Seraphina, Persephone and Katherine all climbed off the qilin’s back, relieved that the fateful trip was over.

“Wow!” Angelica cried, noticing how the scenario had changed around her. “Now where are we?”

“I do believe that we have reached the correct direction.” Harmodius replied, as he turned his head to look around the surrounding environment. “The frozen arctic.”

By the time Harmodius and the Space Star Sisters knew where they were, they realised that were in fact in the frozen arctic. Around them, everything was covered in thick layers of ice. There was pale snow everywhere. The trees and rocks were also coated in sheets of frost. Even the atmosphere turned chilly, turning into a freezing temperature. It became so cold that the weather suddenly turned harsh.

“Oh my.” Angelica commented, struggling to protect herself from the incoming hailstorm. “Are you sure this is the right location?”

“Yes, I am sure that is indeed it.” Harmodius answered, nonchalantly. “But for now, I am afraid that I must make haste. Farewell.”

Suddenly, the qilin began raise to his wide wings again and then swiftly flew up into the distance.

“I guess this is it.” Seraphina proclaimed, confident with the situation.

“I suppose it’s time to get going.” Persephone declared, knowing what must be done.

“Then what are you waiting for?” Katherine enquired, eager to continue. “Let’s get a move on!”

Before long, the Space Star Sisters were off again, marching across the polar landscape. Despite the harsh condition, they were determined to search for the meteorite. Angelica struggled to keep up, but she managed to follow closely with her sisters.

“Maybe this can’t be too bad after all.” Angelica said, carefully trying to navigate across the environment.

Once they went on, they had come across a rather long bridge. It was made of wood, suspended with ropes tied to the poles.

“Do you think it’s safe to go on?” Angelica asked, not sure if the bridge was the safest route to be possible.

“Yeah, I think so.” Seraphina replied, trying to measure how far they can go by looking onward.

They suddenly began to cross the bridge, by carefully taking each turn. As steadily as they can, they were moving very slowly. At last, they had reached to the end.

“Now it’s show time!” Angelica called, suddenly rushing off into the distance.

The Space Star Sisters followed onward and soon prepared themselves for yet another mission by travelling towards the destination of where the meteorite is located.

Into the Frozen Arctic

Into the Frozen Arctic

Angelica was determined. This would be her biggest challenge yet. As a Space Star Sister, Angelica had faced all sorts of events. She had prepared for amazing adventures, brilliant battles and excellent exhibitions, yet nothing compared to the occasion that lay ahead. The mere though of what has to come across was enough to make her mane shiver.

Following close behind her, Seraphina, Persephone and Katherine were struggling to keep up. The three alicorns had remained close together, no matter how hard the situation is. Nevertheless, they were always ready for whatever stands in their way.

“Wow, it sure is breezy around here.” Angelica called, raising her hoof to protect herself from an incoming snowstorm.

“I suppose if that’s what you think.” Seraphina replied, as she and her fellow Space Star Sisters finally caught up with their younger sister.

“Come on, you said it was that way.” Angelica pleaded, reminding her sisters that the only reason for their journey is to find the meteorite.

“We could at least go for a much safer route.” Katherine suggested, eager to get this over and done with.

“Speaking of which, what’s that over there?” Persephone remarked, noticing something in their path.

The Space Star Sisters had suddenly reached towards a meandering river. It was quite shallow, but it appeared to be rather wide. Angelica took one small step forward.

“Be careful.” Seraphina warned, looking concerned about her sister’s safety.

“Well, how else can we get across there?” Angelica reprimanded, getting impatient.

“Hey, what’s the big deal?” Persephone questioned, cutting off the conversation.

“Yeah, we could just take turns!” Katherine suggested, steadily approaching the river and then leaping over it as quickly as possible.

Seraphina grumbled as the rest of her sisters began to leap over the river, before starting to do so herself.

As soon as they finally crossed over, they had continued their journey. By now, they were coming towards a another acre of land. It was surrounded by dense trees, each covered by white masses of snow. Angelica turned her head to look around the surrounding area.

“Wouldn’t you believe it?” Angelica proclaimed, bewildered by the refined attractiveness of the landscape. “It sure looks really cool!”

“Maybe.” Seraphina answered, nonchalantly. “I guess this could lead the way.”

“Well, what are we waiting for?” Persephone requested, looking further ahead.

“Let’s get on with it!” Katherine demanded, rushing into the distance.

Soon, the Space Star Sisters headed deep into the woodland. They were marching through the snowy terrain as they went. Passing by a number of trees, they hiked as carefully as possible. Only until now, is they had suddenly stopped.

“Hey, what is that?” Angelica asked, as she noticed something further ahead into the distance.

“I’m not sure.” Seraphina responded, only just stopping in time.

“Ah, it’s nothing.” Persephone reacted, by resuming on walking.

“Just ignore it.” Katherine advised, trying to not pay attention.

“No, I can see it moving.” Angelica announced, as she watched as the strange thing immediately started to do so.

Whatever that thing was, it was like a chunky, brown blob. Within mere seconds, it had lumbered away from view. Angelica quickly sprinted away from the rest of her sisters.

“Angie!” Seraphina yelled. “Wait!”

Angelica rushed through the woodland, determined to chase after whatever that thing was. As she went faster, the thing was getting closer. Soon they both collided into each other.

Whoops!” Angelica cried, realising what she had ran into.

Surely enough, the creature turned around. It was an elephant, with thick, brown skin, a long trunk and sharp tusks. He stumbled towards Angelica, glaring at her with his deep, orange eyes.

“Hey, watch where you’re going!” the elephant shouted sternly.

“Oh, I’m so sorry!” Angelica apologised, hoping to receive forgiveness.

Meanwhile, the rest of the Space Star Sisters reached the middle of the woodland. They were pleased that their younger sister was present, along with a strange newcomer.

“Angie!” Seraphina cried, with a sigh of relief. “Where have you been?”

“And who might you be?” the elephant asked, not quite believing his very eyes.

“Oh, yeah. I’m Angelica, and these are Seraphina, Persephone and Katherine.” Angelica announced, explaining the Space Star Sisters’ presence.

“Very well, the name’s Trunkle. I’m sure pleased to meet you!” the elephant replied in a friendly manner.

“Okay, thanks for the introduction.” Angelica answered, getting use to meeting newcomers.

“So, what have you been up to?” Trunkle questioned, curious to know more about the Space Star Sisters.

“We’re here to look for a meteorite.” Seraphina reacted, explaining the whole purpose of their journey.

“A meteorite, eh?” Trunkle mused, thinking about the subject. “I’ve heard that one before."

“You do?” Angelica enquired, suddenly surprised.

“Yeah, I saw it flying during my travels!” Trunkle commented, eager to describe his wonderful experience.

“Tell us more.” Persephone requested, wanting a clear investigation.

“Well, it was really big and it look totally shiny like it was glowing!” Trunkle remarked, depicting the situation further.

“So can you tell us where had it gone?” Katherine asked, wanting to know the directions.

“Sure, I think it went that way!” Trunkle replied, as he pointed his trunk to somewhere behind him.

“Okay, thanks for your help.” Seraphina declared, grateful to have provided some advice. “We really appreciated it.”

“No, problem.” Trunkled answered, looking quite proud. “If you need me, I’ll be digging for stuff!”

While the Space Star Sisters had continued their journey, Trunkle went out to his merry way.

As soon as they entered an open space, Angelica and her sisters were marching through the landscape. No sooner that she realised where they were now.

“Hey, look at that!” Angelica cried, noticing something else in another direction.

Surely enough, there was a huge mass of water at the other side of the land. That had to be the sea. It was even larger than most water areas from Equestria.

“Hmm, I don’t know about that.” Persephone declared, looking rather concerned.

“Are you sure it’s a good idea?” Katherine enquired, unsure if that was the most possible path.

“What could possibly go wrong?” Angelica proclaimed, taking a step further near the water.

“I wouldn’t go if I were you.” Seraphina warned, but Angelica wasn’t listening.

“Watch this.” Angelica declared, as she leaped towards a nearby iceberg.

As Angelica stood still on the iceberg, it began to move steadily. It floated on the water as the wind pushed it swiftly along.

“Angie!” Seraphina called out, rushing towards the edge.

Realising her current situation, Angelica tried to jump off but lost her balance. As the iceberg was heading out to sea, something appeared in the water. It was a dorsal fin. Angelica saw that it was speeding towards the iceberg. As it reached the iceberg, it pushed the iceberg backwards. The iceberg bumped into the coast, knocking Angelica back on dry land.

“Angie!” Seraphina cried. “Thank goodness, you’re safe!”

Angelica tried to reply, but she noticed a certain thing in the water.

The fin was still in view. It was sailing towards the land. As it got closer, it looked liked as if it was rising. Suddenly, a head appeared in the water. It had two large eyes, a long beak and a blowhole on top of it. By now, it had reached the shore.

“What is that?” Angelica asked, looking unsure what it even was.

It was a dolphin, with thick gray skin and very long flippers. It jumped out of the water, revealing the rest of its body. It fell back in, with only its head remaining and suddenly opened its beak.

“Hope you don’t mind if I pop in, dudes!” the dolphin announced in a polite manner.

“Who are you?” Angelica enquired, curious about this newcomer’s presence.

“Me? The name’s Whopper, and I’m having a great time!” the dolphin replied, looking as cheerful as ever.

“Well, I’m Seraphina and these are Angelica, Persephone and Katherine.” Seraphina explained, introducing herself and her sisters.

“So, how are you doing?” Whopper questioned, grinning to reveal a row of razor sharp teeth.

“We’re searching for a meteorite.” Angelica answered, lecturing about their current situation.

“Hey, I heard that thing before!” Whopper exclaimed, rising a bit higher from the water.

“Do you know where it went?” Persephone enquired, wanting to know its whereabouts.

“Yeah, it saw it going that way!” Whopper declared, turning himself to the opposite direction.

“Well, thank you for helping us.” Katherine stated, being ever so grateful.

“Oh, you’re going now? I’ll see you later, dudes!” Whopper chirped, as he jumped for one last time before diving into the water.

“Wow, he sure is cool!” Angelica exclaimed, impressed by the dolphin’s charm.

“He was a great help so far.” Seraphina confirmed, proud to be receiving advice.

“I suppose we’ve got a long way to go.” Persephone verified, knowing what to do next.

“Let’s get a move on!” Katherine commanded, before rushing off into the distance.

Soon, Angelica and her sisters had continued their journey towards the next destination to search for the location of the meteorite. Nevertheless, they were always determined to discover much more secrets that thrive beyond. It seems like everything was waiting for them.

Deep in the Forest

Deep in the Forest

Continuing their journey so far, the Space Star Sisters were restlessly on their way to find the meteorite. Nevertheless, they were always prepared for everything that gets in their way. Already, they were coming towards the next destination.

“So, where are we going?” Angelica asked, stepping forward near the seashore.

“Well, we’re flying of course!” Seraphina replied, stretching her wings and jumping off a nearby cliff.

“I guess we better get going.” Persephone suggested, doing the same action as like her sister.

“Yeah, let’s get on with it!” Katherine demanded, following close by.

Angelica shrugged, carefully stepped onto the cliff and then flew after her sisters.

Angelica and her sisters soared over the sea with great speed. She was lagging behind, but managed to keep up with them. Finally, they had noticed a new landmass in their sights.

“Hey, we’re nearly there now!” Angelica shouted, zooming downwards from the sky.

Soon, the Space Stars Sisters had landed onto the ground. This time, the surrounding environment was quite different. There were so many trees everywhere, each with bright green leaves. Not only that, but there were also grass, flowers and mushrooms scattered around.

“Wow, where are we?” Angelica questioned, looking at the scenery around her.

“I think we’re in the temperate forest.” Seraphina answered, confident with the current situation.

“I suppose this won’t be too hard, would it?” Persephone enquired, working out how they could achieve it.

“We’ll find it in no time!” Katherine declared, before heading deeper into the forest.

Eventually, Angelica and her sisters were marching through the terrain. They were keeping close together, obviously preparing for anything that gets in their way. While they were walking, they came across a hidden junction.

“I do believe we have encountered a selection of choices.” Persephone stated, pointing to a group of pathways that lead to such random directions.

“Now, where do we go?” Katherine queried, deciding which passage would to the best to go.

While they were busy making their minds up, a loud voice echoed from one of the passages. It sounded like a tuneful melody that would charm even the most wild things. It surrounded the entire area with its alluring trance.

“Did you hear that?” Angelica asked, before rushing towards where the sound was exactly coming from.

“Angie, wait!” Seraphina cried, chasing after her sister, as Persephone and Katherine followed on.

Angelica quickly ran through the forest, eager to know what was making that noise. Passing numerous trees, she suddenly reached into a clearing. It was then until she stopped when her sisters caught up with her.

“Angie! What’s with you?” Seraphina questioned, being concerned about her sister’s safety.

But Angelica was not listening. Instead she peeked over the leaves of a nearby bush. She was just about to rush in further, when she tripped over her own hooves and landed flat on her face. It was until she had saw that thing with her very eyes.

“Whoops!” Angelica yelled, struggling back up.

Angelica had found herself facing a creature. It was a sphinx, with a human head with curly hair and purple eyes, wearing an orange headscarf. She had a lion’s body that was coloured yellow with green patches, a snake’s tail that was coloured cyan with a blue spine and an eagle’s wings that were coloured magenta with red feathers.

“At last, my beautiful performance has attracted a likely spectator.” the sphinx boasted, as she suddenly turned around.

“Yeah, I liked your singing.” Angelica commented, obviously impressed by the song.

“Why, thank you. So, who may you be?” the sphinx asked, as she approached towards Angelica.

“Oh, I’m Angelica.” Angelica replied, introducing herself to the newcomer.

“Well, my name is Mandarin.” the sphinx answered, standing as proudly as ever.

Meanwhile, Seraphina, Persephone and Katherine finally stepped out of the bush, just in time to see their sister.

“Angie! Where have you been?” Seraphina enquired, feeling concerned about Angelica’s well-being.

“So, how about you?” Mandarin questioned, noticing the Space Star Sisters’ presence.

“Ah, I’m Seraphina and these are Persephone and Katherine.” Seraphina responded, introducing herself and her sisters.

“Very good. So how are you feeling?” Mandarin asked, curiously.

“We’ve been busy searching for a meteorite!” Angelica replied, explaining the whole purpose of their journey.

“Oh, I know that!” Mandarin proclaimed, feeling as rather cheerful as ever.

“So, you know where it went?” Seraphina questioned, wanting to know the whereabouts of the meteorite.

“Okay, I’ll tell you.” Mandarin declared, posing herself to a nearby spot. “If you can answer this riddle.”

“Well, if you insist.” Persephone agreed, wanting to get this over and done with.

"What is the plant that grows roots in the spring, branches in the summer and leaves in the autumn?" Mandarin announced, feeling rather confident.

“It’s a tree!” Angelica shouted, knowing the answer.

“Great, you done it! Anyway, I do believe it went somewhere in that area.” Mandarin proclaimed, pointing her tail at a passage surrounded by many trees.

“Okay, thanks for your help.” Seraphina stated, joining the rest of her sisters as they began to depart.

So the Space Star Sisters continued their journey. Meanwhile, Mandarin stayed behind and started to sing.

As they moved on, Angelica and her sisters travelled through deeper into the forest. Suddenly, they came across another area of lush vegetation. Nevertheless, it was something they would expect.

“Hey, what is that?” Angelica questioned, taking notice of whatever was in their way.

It was a swamp. A deep and luscious swamp. It was no ordinary swamp. It was enclosed with murky marshes, petrified plants and vicious vines. Around the surrounding area, a foul stench whiffed into the air.

“Geez, who knew this place reeks!” Persephone complained, pinching her own nose.

“I couldn’t agree with you more.” Katherine added, attempting to avoid the nasty smell.

Suddenly, Angelica saw something else that appeared at a far corner of the swamp. It looked like a green blob covered with various markings. Knowing that it would lead to further clues, Angelica decided to chase after it.

“I think I know how!” Angelica boasted, sprinting towards whatever it was at the end of the swamp.

As she rushed across the edge of the swamp, Angelica was approaching towards the unidentified object. However, the creature suddenly took off as soon as it saw Angelica. Both of them were running like the wind.

“Time for a little boost.” Angelica whispered, stretching her wings.

Using her flight as an advantage, Angelica was now speeding rapidly. This time, she was closing in with the creature. She finally pounced on the creature, landing on top of it and its tracks were subdued.

“Whoa, you got me.” the creature spoke for the first time, in a voice that sounded rather innocent.

Realising her mistake, Angelica took a step back. Soon, the creature finally got up. It was a jackalope, with brown eyes and gray antlers. He had green fur, pink spots and an orange tail. He turned his head and stared at Angelica.

“Sorry about that, I didn’t see you there.” Angelica apologised, feeling guilty.

“Ah, it’s not like I could run away forever.” the jackalope responded, slowly walking towards Angelica. “Who are you, anyway?”

“Oh, my name is Angelica.” Angelica replied, introducing herself to the newcomer.

“Well, I’m Franklen. It’s a pleasure to meet you!” the jackalope remarked, with a sign of greeting manner.

Just then, Seraphina, Persephone and Katherine arrived on the scene, wondering what their younger sister was up to.

“Angie, you can’t just run off like that.” Persephone scolded, in a stern tone.

“Yeah, we need to stick together.” Katherine lectured, reminding Angelica of their whole purpose.

“Hey, where are you guys from?” Franklen asked, suddenly noticing the Space Star Sisters.

“Oh, I’m Seraphina and these are Persephone and Katherine.” Seraphina responded, introducing herself and her sisters.

“So, what brings you here?” Franklen asked, eager to know about the Space Star Sisters.

“We’ve been looking for a meteorite!” Angelica announced, explaining about their journey so far.

“Ah, I remember that!” Franklen declared, feeling rather enthusiastic.

“Then can you tell us where it went?” Seraphina enquired, wanting more information about the meteorite.

“Hmph, I just saw it going over there.” Franklen proclaimed, pointing his front paw towards the end of the swamp.

“Very well, thank you. We really appreciate your help.” Seraphina stated, preparing to depart with her other sisters.

As the Space Star Sisters turned to leave, Franklen suddenly jumped out of the way and disappeared into the forest.

Soon, Angelica and her sisters were on their way out of the forest. By now, they were approaching towards the exit. However, Angelica had just stopped at a mere second.

“Is it just me, or is this getting weird?” Angelica questioned, feeling rather nervous.”

“I’m sure you got much to learn, Angie.” Seraphina reassured, consoling her younger sister.

“So where are we going next?” Persephone requested, looking out for yet another outcome.

“I think we’re heading for the desert!” Katherine stated, rushing further ahead.

Finally, the Space Star Sisters had continued their journey. Nevertheless, they were still searching for the meteorite and its secrets. Regardless, they were now prepared for everything that was waiting for them.

Journey through the Desert

Journey through the Desert

With a new route ahead of them, the Space Star Sisters were on their way to search for the meteorite. They had walked for hours in the forest, following what can be seen in their path. After emerging from the forest, they had stopped towards a nearby cliff.

“Hmph, I’m not sure about that.” Angelica shuddered, as she quickly checked how steep the cliff really was.

“Well, I suppose this is it.” Seraphina confirmed, nonchalantly stepping towards nearby the edge.

“I know, let’s see how far we can go!” Katherine exclaimed, rushing towards the edge and jumped down far below.

“Last one there is a sore loser!” Persephone called, exactly following suite.

As Persephone and Katherine both plummeted down, Angelica and Seraphina remained on the cliff. They took one look below, before bracing themselves. Suddenly, Seraphina took one step towards the edge.

“I do believe this is our only chance.” Seraphina declared, preparing to jump down.

“How is that possible?” Angelica enquired, feeling worried about the thought of falling down.

“You just spread your wings when you’re in the air.” Seraphina stated, as she plummeted down to join her sisters.

Angelica had slowly headed towards the edge, trying to reassure herself. She was just about to jump off, when suddenly her hoof slipped. She found herself sliding from the cliff.

“Yikes!” Angelica screamed, plummeting towards far down below.

Angelica had descended rapidly, as she felt her mane and tail trailing away in the wind. She steadied herself for the worst, as gravity draggged her down towards the ground. But it was then until she remembered something that she had learned.

“Just spread my wings when I’m in the air.” Angelica reminded herself, as she gradually did exactly that.

Suddenly, Angelica continued to fall, this time with reduced speed. Her wings were spread out wide, as she slowly descended below towards the ground. After falling for several minutes, she lowered onto the ground with a gentle step.

“Phew, almost as good as one of my landings.” Angelica sighed, as she folded her wings and then looked around.

“Are you well, Angie?” Seraphina asked, suddenly appearing in her sister’s presence.

Beside her, Persephone and Katherine also appeared, checking up on their sister. They slowly approached Angelica, and were relieved to find her. Angelica suddenly realised where they were.

“Anyway, where are we now?” Angelica queried, paying attention to the surrounding location.

By now, the environment looked very different. It was a rather dry landscape with sandy terrain. There were few plants, each were decaying from lack of moisture. They were surrounded by large rocks, each were sharp and jagged. The atmosphere was extremely warm, complete with a sudden rise of temperature.

“We’re in the desert, of course.” Persephone answered, before urging her sister to move on.

“Come on, we still have work to do!” Katherine ordered, rushing further ahead of her sisters.

The Space Star Sisters continued to move on, eager to prepare for everything in their path. They had migrated across the landscape, determined to get to the next destination. It was until they came across a steep ravine.

“We walked far for this?” Angelica stammered, not believing her own eyes.

As they were pondering their next step, they had noticed something else. It looked like a wooden bridge, suspending over the ravine as if connecting the two landscapes. Knowing this as an advantage, they soon rushed towards it.

“Hey, there’s a bridge we can walk on!” Katherine suggested, putting her hoof onto nearby the edge of the bridge.

“Let’s get on with it!” Persephone commanded, quickly following after her sister.

Soon they got onto the bridge, walking as slowly as they could. They were all huddled together, moving into a straight line. However, they were unaware of the bridge that was starting to fall.

“I don’t think this is a good idea.” Angelica warned, noticing their weight was causing this sudden fault.

Eventually, the bridge had snapped with ropes and planks tumbling down below. The Space Star Sisters plummeted into the ravine. Afterwards, they had landed onto the deepest part.

“Thanks a lot, now we’ll never get out of here.” Katherine bemoaned, regretting the unnecessary decision they had made.

“Hey, you started it!” Persephone argued, trying to blame her sister for causing this problem.

“You know we don’t have time for this!” Seraphina scolded, telling them off for making such a fuss.

Pondering what to do next, the Space Star Sisters looked around the hallway. They were trying to look for a way out of there. It was until then Angelica suddenly blurted out.

“Look, I can see a way out!” Angelica exclaimed, noticing a strange thing at the far end of the hallway.

“What is it now, Angie?” Seraphina questioned, noticing her sister wandering off.

“Just follow me!” Angelica cried out, eager to find out whatever it was that she saw.

Angelica’s sisters did as they were told, knowing that this was the only option. As she ran through the hallway, they followed behind her. They soon reached towards their sister as they approached a nearby doorway.

“Hey, I can see something!” Angelica called, noticing something else in the other side of the doorway as she carefully peeked over a corner.

Angelica realised it was another creature. It was a dragon, with pink skin, feathered wings, orange claws, blue eyes, red horns, purple belly and a green mark on her head. She was pacing around a group of large crystals, each of which were illuminating with a sparkling glow.

“Crystals, is there anything they can’t do?” the dragon stated, wrapping her tail around the one that was behind her.

Knowing what to do next, Angelica decided to go through the doorway. She stepped into the other side. Her sisters looked on, each with a look of concern.

“Angie, what are you doing?” Seraphina demanded, attempting to stop her sister.

But Angelica did not listen. Instead, she slowly walked towards the dragon as confident as possible. As she got close enough, she soon stopped in the exact position.

“Ahem.” Angelica said, clearing her throat.

“Oh, my!” the dragon cried, turning her head to see who was behind her.

“Hi, I’m Angelica!” Angelica announced, introducing herself to the newcomer.

“Well, that’s Jasmine at your service!” the dragon replied, as she carefully approached Angelica.

“Angie, what’s with you?” Seraphina enquired, as she and her sisters entered the other side of the doorway.

“So, what brings you here?” Jasmine asked, with her eyes fixed onto the Space Star Sisters.

“Oh, I’m Seraphina and these are Persephone and Katherine.” Seraphina responded, introducing herself and her sisters.

“Very well, what have you been up to? Jasmine asked, being curious about the ponies’ presence.

“We’ve been busy searching for a meteorite!” Angelica answered, briefly describing the purpose of their journey so far.

“Ah, I see what you mean.” Jasmine confirmed, understanding the whole idea.

“Could you at least get us out of this place?” Katherine lectured, wanting to get this over with.

“Why, certainly if you must. Just follow me!” Jasmine ordered, as she rapidly slammed against a nearby boulder that revealed a hidden doorway, where she walked inside with the ponies following her.

Soon, Jasmine and the ponies entered another hallway. They all walked pass the elongated walls as they quickly moved on. Finally, they had reached towards the outdoor exit.

“Here we go, just how you like it!” Jasmine declared, as she stepped in towards the open environment.

“Well, at least we’re outside again.” Persephone confirmed, breathing into the atmosphere.

“Now, about the meteorite. I do believe that it went somewhere in that direction.” Jasmine instructed, pointing her tail towards a rugged location surrounded by hills.

“Okay, thanks for your help!” Angelica cheered, as she and her sisters departed for their journey.

The ponies continued their journey. They were determined to reach their destination, no matter the outcome. It was like they were always prepared for anything that gets in their way.

“I wonder if there are any crystals around?” Jasmine questioned, prancing around the desert.

Meanwhile, the Space Star Sisters migrated towards the rough landscape. They travelled deeper as they went pass the steep hills. However, Angelica stopped to look around the environment.

“What’s the matter, Angie?” Seraphina asked, concerned about her sister’s sudden reaction.

“Did ever you realised you were being watched?” Angelica shuddered, quickly looking behind her shoulder.

Unknown to them, a mysterious creature had sneaked among the hills. It moved from one place to another, never staying still. Suddenly, it stared at them and crouched down.

“I think there’s something hidden around there!” Angelica murmured, trying to convince her sisters.

“Hey, there’s nothing here.” Persephone sighed, not understanding this incident.

“I don’t see anything.” Katherine scoffed, ignoring what was happening.

The creature silently waited for them to stay still. As they stood where they were, it turned its head to face them. It snarled with anticipation.

“Now, how many times have we got to tell you this?” Seraphina questioned, trying to reassure her sister.

“But it’s true, there is something around there!” Angelica protested, encouraging her sisters to believe her.

Suddenly, the creature quickly emerged from its hiding place and finally revealed itself. It was a werewolf, with brown fur, yellow eyes, orange stripes and a red tail. The ponies were just in time to notice.

“Watch out!” Angelica cried, quickly jumping out of the way.

“We have to stop him!” Seraphina yelled, immediately aiming her horn at the werewolf.

Seraphina launched a laser beam towards the werewolf. However, the werewolf swiftly avoided the magic spell. Having failed, Seraphina grumbled with frustration.

“He’s getting away!” Persephone shouted, trying to aim her horn.

“Let’s do this!” Katherine ordered, preparing to charge.

The werewolf successful dodged every spell casted straight towards him. However, they finally surrounded him with their horns. Finding himself cornered, he whimpered desperately with puppy dog eyes.

“Excuse me, but I’m feeling rather peckish so could you please be extra nice to me?” the werewolf pleaded, begging for sympathy.

“But you tried to attack us!” Seraphina rebuked, in a stern tone.

“Sorry about that. Anyway, the name’s Ragnarok.” the werewolf apologised, introducing himself as well.

“Well, I’m Angelica, and these are Seraphina, Persephone and Katherine!” Angelica consoled, as she and her sisters began to stay further away.

“Uh, I guess you’re going somewhere.” Ragnarok remarked, wanting to know more about the ponies’ presence.

“That’s right, we’ve been searching for a meteorite!” Angelica replied, explaining their purpose and briefly describing their journey so far.

“Wow, now that sure is wicked!” Ragnarok exclaimed, suddenly feeling rather excited.

“Maybe you can tell us where it is.” Seraphina suggested, wanting to know the whereabouts of the meteorite.

“Yeah, it’s just over there somewhere.” Ragnarok responded, pointing his front paw towards a less dense area of the desert.

“Thanks for your help!” Angelica confirmed, following her sisters as they began to depart.

As they had left, Ragnarok just stood there as he slowly lifted his head upwards and howled loudly.

“Well, that was fun!” Angelica chirped, walking further ahead pass her sisters.

“I know, but we need to find the meteorite!” Seraphina reminded, encouraging Angelica to stay on the path.

The ponies prepared themselves for another journey. They were always eager to face whatever stands in their way. It was like everything was waiting for them.

A Memory to Remember

A Memory to Remember

By the time they were travelling so far, the Space Star Sisters had been on their journey endlessly. Nevertheless, they were doing so for a reason which was to search for the meteorite. As usual, Angelica was still lagging behind her sisters.

“Come on Angie, we don’t have all day!” Seraphina called, encouraging her younger sister to keep on going.

“I would if you slowed down.” Angelica wheezed, as she felt less than enthusiastic.

“Well, at least we know where it is!” Persephone declared, keeping her head high.

“Come on, let’s get a move on!” Katherine ordered, looking further onward.

As the ponies moved on, they headed for another direction. However, the horizon was getting dark as the sun soon went down. Feeling so tired, Angelica suddenly stopped to take a rest.

“You know, we should be taking a break by now.” Angelica yawned, eventually having enough of walking excessively.

“Well, I don’t see why not?” Seraphina relented, understanding Angelica’s reluctance to go further.

“Perhaps it wouldn’t hurt.” Persephone stated, as she carefully checked her surroundings.

“Let’s go somewhere else.” Katherine suggested, walking into the distance as they followed her.

As soon as Angelica joined them, the rest of the Space Star Sisters went to find somewhere else to rest. They soon came towards a cave, which was wide enough to fit all four of them. The ponies went inside.

“I’m glad we’ve found somewhere to sleep.” Angelica declared, as she tucked herself in a corner.

“I suppose we’ll call it a day.” Seraphina announced, approaching Angelica’s side.

Soon, the Space Star Sisters prepared themselves to relax. They huddled next to each other, trying to keep comfortable as possible. However, Angelica was still feeling active.

“I think there is something I’ve wanted to know.” Angelica commented, as the rest of the ponies suddenly stared at her.

“What is it?” Persephone asked, just as she was about to sleep.

“There is something I never got to tell you before.” Angelica continued, trying to get the attention of her sisters.

“You better tell us.” Katherine requested, as she woke up.

“I want to know how I grew up like you!” Angelica exclaimed, suddenly feeling rather excited.

As the other ponies gathered around, Angelica carefully stepped into the middle and sat herself comfortably.

“Okay, let’s get this over with.” Seraphina confirmed, now preparing to begin.

“Go on.” Angelica commented, getting readly to listen.

“It all began during several years ago,” Seraphina narrated, describing how the story went.

..........

It was a peaceful spring day. There were colourful flowers which could be seen in the surrounding environment, along with the quiet noise of birds chirping. All looked just fine, until two figures suddenly appeared on the scene.

“Katie, I just love the natural beauty.” said a teenage green pony with a cutie mark resembling a flower.

“I guess it’s how it always looked, Persy.” replied a teenage yellow pony with a cutie mark resembling a bolt.

Suddenly, both ponies noticed something else in the distance. It was another teenage pony, who was pink with a cutie mark resembling a heart. She was carrying a small cradle on her back.

“What have you got here, Serah?” young Katherine asked, eager to find out whatever it was inside the small cradle.

“It looks rather interesting.” young Persephone added, stepping in close to take a look.

“I suppose it’s something we’ve been waiting for, everypony.” young Seraphina announced, as she carefully placed the small cradle onto the ground.

As soon as the cradle was down, the three ponies gathered around to take a look what was inside. They were delighted when they discovered what they had saw. It was a blue foal, who had a horn and wings.

“Oh, that’s the cutest thing I’ve ever seen!” young Persephone blushed, admiring the sight of the new baby.

“Well, isn’t she a little sweetheart!” young Katherine adored, still focusing towards the baby.

“You’re one of us now, Angie!” young Seraphina declared, using her magic aura to pick up the baby.

As young Seraphina put the baby on her back, she and her other sisters began to leave their current area and moved further away. They travelled together, staying close to each other. After walking for a few minutes, they had settled down somewhere surrounded by hills.

“I’ll teach you how!” young Seraphina exclaimed, as young Angelica got off her back.

As her baby sister was left alone, young Seraphina turned to face a nearby tree. She rushed forward towards it, and suddenly jumped diagonally. The pink pony spread her wings, as she flew gracefully pass the tree. While the pink pony was in the air, her horn was glowing brightly and it generated enough magic to grab a berry from a branch. Finally, young Seraphina landed back onto the ground, with her magic holding the berry.

“Now you try!” young Persephone instructed, prompting her baby sister to follow exactly the same thing.

“You can do it!” young Katherine advised, knowing her baby sister would eventually succeed.

Realising what must be done, young Angelica stepped further away from her older sisters. She looked up at the tree, comparing herself to the very size of it. The blue foal lowered her head, before starting to run rapidly and jumping as high as possible. She spread her wings, while still in the air. As young Angelica flew pass the tree, her horn was generating magic just in time for grabbing another berry from the same branch. The blue foal kept hold of the berry, as she landed next to where young Seraphina was.

“Well done, you did it!” young Katherine applauded, feeling proud that young Angelica had finally completed the challenge.

“Congratulations to you!” young Persephone cheered, sharing the same gratitude for her baby sister.

As her older sisters gathered around her, young Angelica felt something strange happening to her. She looked at her flank to see something forming on it. It was a cutie mark, and it resembled a feather. Her sisters suddenly noticed this immediately.

“Look, Angie! You have a cutie mark! young Seraphina stated, pointing towards her baby sister’s flank.

The three Space Star Sisters celebrated as they finally had a fourth member. Young Angelica was pleased, as she accepted the fact of having her own cutie mark. She opened her mouth wide, unbelievably saying her first words.

“I wanna be like you!” she said with as much enthusiasm as possible.

Young Angelica joined in with her older sisters, who began to dance around her. They were so happy that they vowed to live on to the full potential. Their baby sister felt nothing but eternal bliss.

..........

“And that’s how you grew up like us.” Seraphina concluded, narrating the end of Angelica’s flashback.

“Wow, that was really great!” Angelica commented, feeling so pleased about the whole story.

“I suppose this is all true after all!” Persephone remarked, approaching towards Angelica’s right.

“You know, we’re always meant to stay together!” Katherine added, approaching towards Angelica’s left.

“So there’s still things I need to learn more, right?” Angelica asked, not sure she was hearing this right.

“I’m sure that’s something you’ll find out yourself.” Seraphina replied, reassuring Angelica that everything was going to be just fine.

Feeling drowsy, the Space Star Sisters soon drifted off to sleep. They huddled close to each other, as they curled up into a tucked in position. With her older sisters surrounding her, Angelica was feeling nothing but comfortable in such a confined space. While they were snoozing, she woke up and looked at the ceiling of the cave. She stared at a cracked hole in a far corner, which was showing the night sky. After that, Angelica thought to herself.

“I wonder if I’m really going to be like them?” Angelica whispered, questioning herself about her current self.

Feeling so tired, Angelica had finally gone back to sleep. It had been a long day, ever since the Space Star Sisters started their long journey. To them it was going on endlessly, but it still had to be done. They may had stopped for now, but their quest has yet to be completed. They were currently still searching for the meteorite to find out its mysterious secrets. So far, they had encountered all sorts of things along the way. There was a long away ahead of them. Nevertheless, they were always prepared to face whatever stands in their way.

To the Next Destination

To the Next Destination

It was an early morning, and Angelica was first to wake up. She looked around to see her older sisters, who are still asleep. She slowly picked herself up and walked over to Seraphina. As she came closer, Angelica tapped on Seraphina’s head with her hoof.

“Serah, wake up!” Angelica whispered, attempting to awaken her sister.

“Uh, is it time already?” Seraphina yawned, suddenly woken up.

“But it’s so early.” Persephone muttered, with her eyes half-closed.

“Just a few more minutes.” Katherine grunted, feeling rather grouchy.

As soon as the other ponies picked themselves up, Angelica had reminded them that they really need to get going.

“We still have that meteorite to find!” Angelica announced, rushing towards the opening of the cave.

“All right, we’re coming!” Seraphina concurred, as she and her sisters followed after Angelica.

As soon as Angelica and her sisters were outside of the cave, they wondered where they were since last night.

“Does everypony know where it is?” Angelica asked, wanting to know the where the meteorite is.

“I think it went this way!” Persephone replied, pointing towards the left.

“No, I do believe it went that way!” Katherine commented, pointing towards the right.

“Fellows, I think you’re missing the point here.” Seraphina sighed, silencing her two sisters.

“But it must be around somewhere.” Angelica enquired, feeling confused.

Before the ponies had continued their discussion, they suddenly turned their attention to something else in their presence. It looked so familiar, with huge wings, a long tail, an elongated horn and tall legs. It was until now they finally realised who it was before them. It was Emperor Harmodius, who glared at them.

“Emperor Harmodius! Where have you been?” Seraphina cried, amazed by the presence of the elderly qilin.

Suddenly, Harmodius plodded towards the ponies. He slowly raised his head, as he cleared his throat. He stood proudly when he began to speak.

“I had foreseen your wherabouts during my journey.” Harmodius stated, in a calm and serene tone.

“Well, I’m glad you’re here!” Angelica exclaimed, feeling so excited to meet the qilin.

“Now, I do believe that you may be needing assistance.” Harmodius lectured, his expression turning serious.

“Why do I think you’re here for us?” Persephone questioned, confused by what the qilin said.

“So, are you helping us for not?” Katherine demanded, getting rather impatient.

“Very well, get on my back!” Harmodius commanded, in a bright tone.

As the ponies climbed onto Harmodius, they held on tightly. As Harmodius began to speed up rapidly, he took off by stretching his wings. While the ponies were still riding on him, he soared through the air with the speed of light.

“Are we there yet?” Angelica asked, pondering how long this would last.

“You shall find out.” Harmodius replied, travelling at full speed.

Finally, Harmodius had found somewhere to land. As soon as he aimed downwards towards the ground, he finally landed with a thud. He crouched down by lowering his wings, as the ponies climbed off his back.

“We are now arriving at the next destination.” Harmodius announced, as he observed the new landscape.

While Harmodius was standing there, the ponies took a quick look around. It was until they had realised where they were in. The surrounding environment was very gloomy, with a dark sky and an uneven ground. There were no plants at all, and instead everywhere was littered by broken pieces of rock. The entire atmosphere looked very desolate.

“Now where are we? Angelica questioned, feeling curious about everything around her.

“I’m not too sure.” Seraphina answered, concerned with their situation.

“This sure gives me the creeps.” Persephone murmured, aware of her surroundings.

“That is not good.” Katherine shuddered, feeling like she was being watched.

“Follow me.” Harmodius ordered, as he suddenly walked further into the distance.

As the ponies followed him, Harmodius used his magic aura to lighten up the surrounding area. While the ponies stayed close together, Harmodius headed straight on. They wented through the depressing landscape, aware of the things around them. After several minutes past, they came towards a steep ravine.

“Never fear, there is something to be done.” Harmodius stated, flying over the ravine.

Eventually, Harmodius used his magic to hold a large boulder on the opposite side of the ravine. He carried it over the ravine and dropped it downwards, closing the gap between the two landmasses. As the bridge was built, he ordered the ponies to walk across.

“Now, we must keep on going.” Harmodius instructed, as the ponies contined following him.

Heading on further, Harmodius and the ponies travelled in single file. They walked slowly, observing anything they encountered. Gradually, they had come towards a nearby cavern.

“Before proceeding, there is one thing that you must learn.” Harmodius advised, giving the ponies an important lecture.

“So what is it?” Seraphina enquired, waiting for something else to happen.

“You must be careful to survive. There are dangerous things that you may encounter.” Harmodius warned, reminding them about what lies ahead.

“You mean the meteorite is actually there, right?” Angelica queried, wanting to go on as soon as possible.

“Of course. Go handle it yourselves. This is everything I have prepared you for.” Harmodius ordered, as he spread his wings and flew high up into the sky.

As soon as Harmodius left, the ponies pondered what to do next. With no other choice, they decided to enter the cavern. Before they could do so, Seraphina had blocked their path.

“Come on everypony, let’s go. We’re going inside.” Seraphina instructed, as she rushed into the cavern.

Once they had entered the cavern, the ponies were determined to get going. Since this place was very dark, the ponies used their magic to produce light to see. Feeling nervous, they stayed close together just in case.

“Well, it sure is spooky around here.” Angelica whispered, looking behind to check if nothing was following them.

Soon, the ponies headed further into the cavern. They were feeling more suspicious, but still continued their journey. Along the way, they saw several bats which suddenly appeared.

“Are you sure the meteorite is around here?” Angelica asked, staying very close to her sisters.

“Don’t worry, I’m sure we’ll find it at this rate.” Seraphina assured, looking on straight ahead.

As they moved on, the ponies had entered the deepest part of the cavern. Around them, there were skulls and bones everywhere. It was until they were feeling very worried.

“This is all getting ugly.” Persephone shuddered, dismayed with their current situation so far.

“This place really needs a good cleaning.” Katherine bemoaned, carefully avoiding a nearby skull.

Finally, the ponies walked towards a nearby passage. They decide to go in, wanting to move on as soon as possible. They found themselves in a dark tunnel, leading towards a hidden area.

“You know, this place absolutely stinks!” Persephone advised, holding up her nose.

“The sooner we get out of here, the better!” Katherine instructed, moving much further away from her sisters.

“I doubt we’ll get out of here any sooner.” Angelica sighed, checking if they were being followed.

“I’m afraid we have no choice.” Seraphina comforted, putting her right wing around her younger sister.

As they prepared to leave the cavern, the ponies had continued their journey to search for the meteorite. Meanwhile, something else was lurking deep in the cavern. It was a strange creature, which appeared to be concealed by the darkness. It had stayed at one place, before it moved on towards another. It had remained completely silent, as it sneaked among the cavern walls. The creature looked around its surroundings, before heading on towards its next direction. Apparently unaware of that, the Space Star Sisters still continued on their way.

The Arrival of an Ancient Enemy

The Arrival of an Ancient Enemy

As the Space Star Star Sisters were travelling inside the cavern, they were feeling so desperate. With their magic horns, they generated enough light to brighten up the surrounding area. Everywhere around the cavern, there are several bats flying pass the ponies.

“I think we’re a bit lost.” Angelica bemoaned, aware of her surroundings.

“I’m sure we know our direction.” Seraphina comforted, encouraging her sister to keep going.

“The smell is getting worse.” Persephone grumbled, as she waved off the stench.

“This place looks really untidy.” Katherine muttered, avoiding contact with anything around her.

Meanwhile, the strange creature appeared to be following them. It watched them with anticipation. It sneaked in the shadows, while it remained completely silent.

“Do you realise we’re being watched?” Angelica asked, looking right behind her.

“Well, I don’t see anything.” Seraphina replied, moving further ahead.

By now, the ponies reached towards a different area of the cavern. It was a dungeon, surrounded by gravestones. The mere sight of those were enough to make the ponies feel uneasy.

“Who would even bury the deceased far underground?” Persephone enquired, feeling discomforted.

“That is so unnatural.” Katherine remarked, cringing by a bit.

“Relax, there’s no need to worry.” Seraphina declared, trying to calm down the situation.

“Is it just me, or are we being watched?” Angelica queried, looking at everything around her.

As they walked throughout the dungeon, the ponies came across something eerie. It was a buffalo carcass, which was decaying and had an unpleasant smell. The ponies had backed away, feeling disturbed.

“Okay, now I’m scared.” Persephone grumbled, holding up her nose.

“I just did not see that coming.” Katherine muttered, trying not to look back.

“I wonder what happened?” Seraphina commented, with a confused expression.

“Uh, fellows?” Angelica whined, trying to get her sisters’ attention.

Suddenly, the ponies noticed the gravestones starting to tremble. The gravestones appeared to be more cracked. As they gradually collapsed, the ground beneath them became shattered.

“We have a problem.” Angelica warned, hiding behind her sisters.

All of a sudden, dark spirits emerged from the ground. They appeared to have the heads and forelegs of a horse, and were coloured black with purple eyes. Each of them circled around the ponies, preparing to attack.

“Ghosts!” Seraphina shouted, as her horn generated a magic aura.

Immediately, the ghosts quickly rushed towards the ponies. They opened their mouths wide, revealing their very sharp fangs. Fortunately, the ponies avoided them just in time.

“We have to get rid of them!” Persephone cried, getting ready to fight.

“Let’s bring it on!” Katherine yelled, with her magic aura glowing.

Soon, the ponies began to fight against hordes of ghosts. They conjured magic spells to kill as many ghosts as possible. However, more ghosts had appeared while they launched their magic beams.

“Hit them when they’re down!” Seraphina demanded, tackling one of the ghosts.

Despite her best efforts, Seraphina had realised that she was cornered by the ghosts. However, she knew exactly what to do next. She began to charge up her horn, generating enough magic. Her horn suddenly unleashed a powerful beam of light, killing all the ghosts approaching her. She came back to help her sisters.

“Nice shot!” Persephone admired, appreciating Seraphina’s special technique.

“That was very good!” Katherine congratulated, before facing another ghost.

Meanwhile, Angelica was struggling against a ghost. She launched a magic spell at the ghost, but that only caused it to snarl in frustration. With no other choice, she decided to flee.

“There are too many of them!” Angelica shouted, running towards her sisters.

“Don’t worry, we can defeat them at this rate!” Seraphina declared, feeling so confident.

As the ponies became outnumbered by the ghosts, they gathered around together. They were completely surrounded, as the ghosts gradually approached them. All hope was lost, until Seraphina had yet another idea.

“Everypony power up your magic now!” Seraphina commanded, charging up her horn.

Persephone, Katherine and Angelica did they were told, as they prepared to perform Seraphina’s special technique. Once they all generated enough magic, they unleashed powerful beams of light. Soon, every ghost around the dungeon had been finally killed.

“Well done, everypony!” Seraphina affirmed, before looking around the now empty dungeon.

“Yeah, that was great!” Persephone concurred, proud of her work.

“That was the best we had ever done!” Katherine boasted, doing a dramatic pose.

While this was happening, the strange creature watched them from a distance.

“Hey, what’s happening now?” Angelica questioned, still aware of the surrounding area.

All of a sudden, the strange creature quickly emerged from the shadows.

“Watch out!” Seraphina warned, noticing the strange creature.

As soon as the strange creature revealed itself, the ponies realised what it was. It was a qilin, with a long horn on its head, a lengthy neck, pointed claws at its hooves, wide wings with membranes and an extended tail. However, it appeared to be coloured dull blue, with a long purple mane. Its beard was coloured black like the eternal darkness. It had dark yellow fangs, which smelled like bad breath. Its most distinguished characteristic was its blood red eyes, one which was covered by its mane and the other was scarred by a facial wound extended to the neck. Another thing was a cutie mark that appeared to resemble a skull coloured silver.

“Isn’t that Harmodius?” Katherine asked, with a rather confused look.

“I don’t think that’s him.” Persephone replied, pointing out the obvious differences.

“Who are you?” Seraphina questioned, feeling disturbed by this newcomer.

The qilin hesitated for the moment, just before finally noticing the ponies. He turned his head to face them, with an ominous expression. He opened his jaws very wide, as he prepared to speak.

“Inferior imbeciles! Thou shalt fear the wrath of Emperor Drakethor!” the qilin roared, in a voice with an eerie tone.

“Gee, you should keep your voice down.” Katherine shushed, covering her ears.

“Your breath smells awful.” Persephone murmured, holding up her nose.

“And I never understood what you said.” Angelica remarked, frightened by the newcomer’s presence.

“Silence! Now thou shalt be punished to thy doom!” Drakethor growled, quickly lunging towards the ponies.

The ponies suddenly watched in horror, as Drakethor’s horn began to generate dark magic. He unleashed the spells, which zoomed towards the ponies. They quickly avoided the spells by jumping out of the way.

“We’re to exhausted to fight!” Persephone yelled, feeling so worried.

“We’re out of magic!” Katherine shouted, generating just enough to launch a weak spell.

“Let’s do the best as we can!” Seraphina commanded, instructing her sisters not to give up.

The ponies gathered around together, before separating from each other. They avoided dark magic spells aimed towards them, as they ran in all directions. Despite that, Drakethor raised his head and began to spit acid venom at Seraphina.

“Aaagh!” Seraphina screamed, as the acid venom knocked her unconscious.

“I shalt devour thy soul!” Drakethor snarled, walking towards the pink pony.

Before Drakethor could harm Seraphina, the other ponies rushed to her aid. They surrounded their sister, while trying to ward off Drakethor. As they were trapped, something appeared at a nearby corner.

“Look, a portal! Let’s get out of there!” Angelica cried, as she, Persephone and Katherine carried Seraphina with their strength.

The ponies ran quickly towards the portal, carrying their fallen sister as they possibly can. Drakethor chased after them, attempting to prevent them from escaping. The portal disappeared as all the ponies had entered, leaving Drakethor to roar in anger.

“Are you okay, Serah?” Angelica comforted, trying to wake up her sister.

Soon, the Space Star Sisters had ended up in somewhere else in another area.

Brethren Betrayal

Brethren Betrayal

Now having escaped through the portal, the Space Star Sisters had left the dungeon. They gathered around Seraphina, who was still wounded from her fight with Emperor Drakethor. Angelica had stepped closer towards her sister, as she attempted to wake her up.

“Don’t worry, Serah. I’ll handle this.” Angelica murmured, as her horn began to glow.

Soon, Angelica generated a magic aura. It radiated towards Seraphina’s body, as it enthralled her under its spell. Once the aura had vanished, Seraphina slowly awakened.

“There, all better now.” Angelica comforted, as she helped her sister up.

“Thank you, Angie.” Seraphina appreciated, stretching herself up.

“I still don’t know how we got out of there.” Angelica queried, remembering their fateful escape.

“Indeed, it is I.” boomed a voice from far away.

The ponies turned to see who was coming towards them. It was Emperor Harmodius, who suddenly appeared in their presence. He glared at them for the moment, as he began to speak.

“I am so sorry that you had been sent there.” Harmodius apologised, with a severe expression.

“Thanks for saving us. But whoever was that guy?” Angelica asked, explaining about their previous encounter.

“Very well, I do believe that was none other than my estranged cousin, Drakethor.” Harmodius assumed, his voice becoming submissive.

“The who?” Katherine interrupted, not understanding the situation.

“He was my best friend ever since. We had spent years living together. That is it, until one fateful day.” Harmodius proclaimed, watching the stars above.

“Then what else happened?” Persephone asked, wanting to know more.

“If you follow me, then I will explain clearly.” Harmodius lectured, as he turned to leave.

As soon as Harmodius walked away, the ponies decided to follow him. They moved across the landscape, staying close together. As they went on, they reached towards a nearby cliff.

“Are you sitting comfortably?” Harmodius asked, prompting the ponies to step closer.

“Yeah, sure!” Angelica replied, eager to move on.

“So let us begin. It was 300 million years ago in Equestria…” Harmodius narrated, as he briefly described his backstory.

..........

In the depths of outer space, there was nothing. With only absolute darkness, everything was empty as ever. However, a pair of beings suddenly appeared out of nowhere.

“Drakethor, I would not believe how far we travelled since last millenium.” said a red creature with an orange mane.

“I suppose we are heading for the final destination, Harmodius.” replied a blue creature with a purple mane.

As the two qilins continued travelling, they were approaching towards something they had never seen before. It looked like a giant floating mass of debris, which just stood there by the the force of antigravity. Harmodius and Drakethor both ogled it with extreme amazement.

“It seems that we have discovered the ideal settlement.” Harmodius assumed, as he moved towards it.

“I respect your opinion.” Drakethor concurred, following after his cousin.

Soon, Harmodius and Drakethor landed onto the mass of debris. They felt how robust it was, just by placing their clawed hooves on it. Pondering what to do next, they decided to plan ahead.

“I suggest we should bring this pristine dimension to life.” Harmodius instructed, as his horn began to glow.

“What a trustworthy decision.” Drakethor insisted, as he generated a magic aura.

Immediately, Harmodius and Drakethor began to use their magic to create all the elements to the surrounding area. They both casted spells to form the atmosphere of air, clouds and sky. They had done this by combining their specialised magic.

“My light magic shall create everything.” Harmodius stated, as he used his white aura to form a sun.

“My dark magic shall create everything.” Drakethor stated, as he used his black aura to form a moon.

Once Harmodius and Drakethor finished creating the atmosphere, they decided to construct the earth. Together, they used their magic to form the terrain, mountains and valleys. While doing so, they combined each other’s spells.

“This looks natural indeed.” Drakethor commented, taking pride to himself.

“I suppose we can improve it.” Harmodius proclaimed, staring at the atmosphere.

Immediately, the two qilins decided to make the most of their creation. Together, they combined their magic to create more elements to the earth. They produced the sea, plants, volcanoes and other biomes that formed the natural landscapes. As every single element was produced one by one, they covered every area in the earth. As soon as Harmodius and Drakethor had finished, they saw that everything was beautiful around them.

“I do believe we have created a new planet.” Harmodius remarked, observing at the natural landscape.

“I agree. So what do we name it?” Drakethor questioned, checking to see if it is just right.

“I suggest its name will be… Equestria!” Harmodius shouted, in his loudest voice.

“Splendid, it is now confirmed!” Drakethor exclaimed, flicking his mane.

After creating the new planet, Harmodius and Drakethor decided to find somewhere to live. They flew pass their own creations, as they saw many beaches, forests and mountains. Finally, they reached towards a floating island in the sky.

“We will rest on this island from this day forth.” Harmodius declared, as he landed onto the island.

“So, the sun falls and the moon rises.” Drakethor proclaimed, as he used his magic to do so.

As soon as the sky turned dark, the two qilins sat down next to each other. Feeling drowsy, they huddled together and fell asleep. However, Drakethor suddenly just woke up in the middle of the night.

“Perhaps there is something that I can do.” Drakethor whispered, as he carefully sneaked away from his cousin and raised himself up.

Drakethor turned around to make sure Harmodius was still sleeping. He walked towards the edge of the island, and stretched open his wings. As soon as he checked his surroundings, Drakethor looked straight ahead.

“Now is my chance to be the perfect being.” Drakethor murmured, as his horn generated a magic aura.

Soon, Drakethor began to fly away from the island. The next morning, Harmodius woke up and used his magic to raise the sun and lower the moon. He suddenly realised that Drakethor was missing.

“Strange, Drakethor had left without consulting me.” Harmodius lamented, concerned about the whereabouts of his cousin.

Deciding to search for his cousin, Harmodius flew away from the island. He went pass every landscape around the planet, from the highest sky to the deepest valley. Still, he was unable to find his cousin.

“Oh woe is me, it seems Drakethor is nowhere to be seen.” Harmodius bemoaned, giving up his search.

Meanwhile, Drakethor was flying towards somewhere else in the planet. He suddenly approached near a mountain range, so he prepared to land. As he settled down, Drakethor gazed at a wide cavern.

“This is where I will begin my training.” Drakethor stated, as he immediately entered the cavern.

As soon as he reached the deepest area of the cavern, Drakethor stopped to face the wall in front of him. He gazed at it for the moment, before thinking to himself. Suddenly, he knew exactly what to do next.

“It is time to test my magic.” Drakethor proclaimed, wasting no time.

Drakethor penetrated his horn into the center of the wall. It transferred a dark magic aura into the wall. Immediately, strange symbols appeared on the wall.

“My power is ultimate.” Drakethor declared, as he removed his horn from the wall.

As he stepped away from the wall, Drakethor decided to examine the strange symbols. As he did so, the symbols began to glow. They suddenly came to life, as their energy was absorbed into Drakethor’s horn.

“And so it begins my great reign of terror.” Drakethor sneered, feeling proud of his work.

In the meantime, Harmodius gave up searching for his cousin. He knew that Drakethor was missing, but still was unable to forget about him. As he was beginning to feel lonely, Harmodius suddenly had an idea.

“I will be creating new beings for companionship.” Harmodius stated, as his horn generated a light magic aura.

Soon, Harmodius began to cast a spell with his magic. Instantly, this formed a a small creature that stood motionless. It had short ears, hooves, a mane, a long tail, a horn and wings. Suddenly, it came to life and looked around.

“At last, my creation is complete. I shall give you the name of pony.” Harmodius saluted, approaching towards the pony.

The pony responded by sighing in relief, as he gazed at Harmodius with admiration. As Harmodius turned and headed somewhere else, the pony decided to follow him around. Soon, he realised that the pony was still with him.

“I see that you are desiring for friendship. Very well, I grant your wish.” Harmodius assumed, as his horn generated more magic.

Harmodius began to cast another spell, which gradually formed several ponies that resembled the first one. They all stood motionless at first, before they came to life by looking around. It was until now they had noticed each other for the very first time.

“Now you are granted to populate the planet by breeding offspring to reproduce descendants.” Harmodius announced, explaining the purpose of their existance.

Soon, the ponies began to roam free as they please. Feeling satisfied, Harmodius watched them from a distance. He turned to leave, as he decided to find his personal space.

“My work here is done.” Harmodius affirmed, using his magic to raise the moon and lower the sun.

Later that night, Harmodius decided to relax near the sea. He was feeling drowsy, as he curled up in a submissive position. It was until then he just noticed something else in the sky.

“Now what?” Harmodius grumbled, feeling irritated.

Suddenly, the creature finally landed on the ground. It was Drakethor, who looked rather deranged. He slowly approached towards Harmodius.

“Drakethor! I had not since you ever since.” Harmodius enquired, feeling so confused by his cousin’s sudden return.

“It matters not. There is something I should have done long ago.” Drakethor grunted, with a very spiteful tone in his voice.

Furiously, Drakethor flew up into the distance. Feeling concerned about his cousin, Harmodius immediately followed on. He chased after him, as they both landed where millions of ponies were thriving.

“Drakethor, what are you doing?” Harmodius panicked, urging his cousin to stop whatever he was doing.

“None of your concern.” Drakethor growled, shoving off his cousin.

Soon, Drakethor began to power up his horn. It generated enough dark magic, as he finally unleashed a powerful spell. It launched towards a herd of ponies, as it killed them once they were hit. Once they all died, they rotted away as dark energy was absorbed into Drakethor’s horn. Harmodius could only watch horror, as the surviving ponies fled in fear.

“You traitor! You know how long it was for me to create them?” Harmodius fumed, angrily berating Drakethor.

“I do not care for this planet! What matters is that I shall destroy every creature!” Drakethor roared, arguing back at Harmodius.

“How dare you! We are, and always will be, sworn enemies!” Harmodius rebuked, as he sprinted towards Drakethor.

Soon, Harmodius and Drakethor had no choice but fight to the death. They both charged up their horns, until they casted their most powerful spells aimed at each other. These collided together as the two qilins struggled with effort, which the pressure resulted into a massive explosion that eventually destroyed half of the planet.

..........

“And so, I realised that he discovered the forbidden magic. I was left to create every other creature in Equestria.” Harmodius concluded, narrating the end of his and Drakethor’s flashback.

“So clearly, Drakethor doesn’t really care about Equestria.” Seraphina commented, knowing about how it had occurred.

“I suppose he hates friendship.” Persephone stated, feeling worried about the consequences.

“He never really socialized.” Katherine murmured, feeling depressed.

“Well, perhaps it is true after all.” Harmodius stated, raising his claw.

“You seem to feel sorry for yourself.” Angelica comforted, shaking her head.

“But that is enough, we must hurry now!” Harmodius instructed, crouching down and spreading his wings.

As soon as the ponies instantly climbed onto his back, Harmodius began to jump off the ground and fly up high into the sky. He soared rapidly through the, as the ponies held tightly onto him. Nevertheless, they would be always prepared to face everything that stands in their way.

The Most Dangerous Quest

The Most Dangerous Quest

Harmodius and the Space Star Sisters were flying high in the sky. They were getting desperate to search for the meteorite as soon as possible. Eventually, they were approaching somewhere to land.

“I do believe we are now here!” Harmodius yelled, at full speed.

With the ponies holding onto him, Harmodius dived straight towards the ground. He landed with a thud, as he lowered his wings by crouching down. The ponies jumped off his back, as they checked their surroundings.

“Hey, I’ve seen those guys before!” Angelica exclaimed, as she noticed something very familiar.

Soon, the ponies recognised the six creatures which they just saw. It was Goliath, Trunkle, Mandarin, Franklen, Jasmine and Ragnarok. They were gathered together, as they all greeted the ponies in unison.

“That was great, as if it was worth the wait!” Goliath exclaimed, raising his long neck.

“Of course, like that took your time!” Trunkle remarked, waving his trunk.

“It was music to my ears!” Mandarin chirped, with a melody in her voice.

“Just to see how far you went!” Franklen proclaimed, flapping his ears.

“It so looks crystal clear, if you ask me!” Jasmine stated, flicking her tail.

“Uh, so why are we here again?” Ragnarok queried, looking around himself.

All of a sudden, Whopper jumped out of a nearby river. He shook himself up, before joining the others. They felt bothered about his delayed arrival.

“Sorry about that, dudes.” Whopper muttered, apologising for his mistake.

Soon, the ponies and their friends all stayed close to each other. They were feeling desperate, knowing what would exactly happen next. However, they were assured that everything was going to be just fine.

“Everypony, we have something to tell you!” Seraphina announced, silencing the crowd.

Once they all calmed down, everything around was quiet. The Space Star Sisters stood together on a raised platform. They moved out of the way, just in time for Harmodius to approach.

“We are here for an important reason. There are dark forces out rising here. I do believe that the meteorite is still somewhere around Equestria.” Harmodius spoke, as the sky suddenly went completely dark.

“So what should we do now?” Angelica asked, expecting for an answer.

“I need you to go retrieve the meteorite. It is the only way to prevent the darkness spreading. You are all prepared for this.” Harmodius continued, as he informed them about what was happening.

Immediately, Harmodius began to generate a portal with his magic. It appeared nearby the ponies, as they and their friends gazed upon it with awe. Knowing what must be done, they prepared themselves for the moment.

“I have faith in you all. But there is no time to waste. Now go before it is too late!” Harmodius commanded, as he pointed towards the portal.

“Don’t worry, you can always count on us!” Seraphina stated, feeling confident in herself.

As soon as the ponies rushed towards the portal, their friends followed after them. Once they all went through, Angelica stopped unexpectantly. She noticed that Whopper was struggling to move.

“A little help, dudes?” Whopper asked, unable to reach towards the portal.

Angelica quickly ran back towards Whopper. She flew over and picked him up, as they both managed to return to the portal. As soon as they finally went through the portal, Harmodius looked on with satisfaction.

“Geronimo!” Angelica shouted, as she and Whopper were teleported through the portal.

After emerging from the portal, Angelica and Whopper discovered that they were in midair. They rapidly fell to the ground, as they landed onto each other. As they got up, the portal eventually vanished.

“You better not leave me behind, dude.” Whopper whined, confessing his dependency on Angelica.

“Don’t worry, I’ll carry you everywhere.” Angelica comforted, rushing over behind Whopper.

Angelica quickly flew over and picked Whopper up. As they saw the rest of their friends, they quickly joined them. They gathered around together, as they stood before Seraphina, Persephone and Katherine.

“Everypony, listen up! There’s darkness spreading in Equestria! We’re going to find the meteorite!” Seraphina announced, explaining the purpose of their quest.

“We must hurry up before it’s too late!” Persephone added, giving a lecture to their friends.

“Now let’s get going!” Katherine commanded, as she, her sisters and their friends eventually decided to move on.

“I guess it’s time to go.” Angelica sighed, following behind her sisters and friends.

“As if we could, dude.” Whopper muttered, holding on tightly.

Soon, Angelica, Whopper and the rest of their friends continued their journey to search for the meteorite. The sky was already dark, so they had stayed close together. They saw that the sky was concealed by black clouds.

“Oh, that’s so not good.” Trunkle shuddered, raising his trunk.

“I fear that the end is near.” Goliath murmured, as his long legs trembled.

“Don’t worry, everypony. At least everything’s gonna be just fine!” Katherine comforted, reassuring that there will be nothing to be afraid of.

As the ponies and their friends knew what to do next, they noticed something strange in the sky. All of a sudden, bright sparks appeared as they began to glow. As they grew larger, purple lightning rapidly shot down towards the ground.

“Oh no! We’re under attack!” Franklein screamed, startled by this sudden outburst.

“Whatever it is, it sounds awful!” Mandarin whimpered, taking cover.

“Clearly, I’m offended!” Ragnarok growled, getting highly irritated.

“Everypony, we have to get out of here as soon as possible!” Persephone shouted, as she zipped pass the lightning at super-speed.

Immediately, the ponies and their friends began to run as quickly as they could. They swiftly dodged the lightning, as it tried to strike upon them. Once they successfully reached towards the other side, only Angelica and Whopper were still moving ahead.

“Hurry up, dude!” Whopper whined, unable to stand the racket made by the lightning.

“I’m going as fast as I can!” Angelica replied, swiftly flying pass the lightning.

Just as Angelica was about to be struck by the lightning, she rapidly sprinted out of the way. She reached towards her sisters and friends, accidentally throwing Whopper in the process. He flew way pass them, before colliding into Ragnarok.

“Dude, that was radical!” Whopper chirped, feeling relieved.

“Ouch! Get off me!” Ragnarok snarled, crushed by Whopper’s weight.

As Angelica landed on the ground, she walked towards her sisters. Her friends watched on, feeling so concerned. They surrounded the ponies, as they came towards each other.

“Are you okay, Angie?” Seraphina asked, comforting her younger sister.

“Yeah! I’m fine, thank you!” Angelica replied, stretching her wings.

“Come on, we still need to get going!” Persephone directed, rushing into the distance.

“Everypony, it’s time to move on!” Katherine instructed, leading her friends along the way.

“I hope this will be over soon. It’s nearly tea time!” Trunkle muttered, shaking his head.

Eventually, the ponies and their friends continued their journey. As they left, only Angelica, Whopper and Ragnarok remained. Angelica flew over and picked Whopper up, while Ragnarok got himself up and joined the others.

“Looks like we have somewhere else to go!” Angelica proclaimed, as she grabbed Whopper tightly and flew over to join the others.

As Angelica, Whopper and the rest of their friends headed on across the landscape. They were feeling nervous at this rate, but still managed to prepare themselves for anything about to happen. However, they soon realised that they became lost.

“Now, does anypony know the right way towards the meteorite?” Katherine lectured, gazing at each of her friends.

“I know how!” Jasmine exclaimed, as she proudly stepped forward.

“You do?” Persephone enquired, carefully approaching towards the feathered dragon.

“Trust me, I’m a genius!” Jasmine stated, showing off her sassy attitude.

“So can you show us how?” Seraphina queried, desiring to know more from the feathered dragon.

“Sure, just follow me! I think it’s that way, anyway!” Jasmine remarked, as she quickly ran towards a nearby valley.

As the ponies and their friends pondered what to do next, they all decided to follow Jasmine’s direction. They went after her, as they knew that this would lead to the meteorite. Angelica and Whopper were soon left behind, but they eventually joined the rest of their friends.

“We better do as what she says.” Angelica mused, as she held Whopper tightly.

Soon, the ponies and their friends finally entered the valley. As they moved on, they stayed closed together. However, they noticed something standing in their way.

“Whoa, what are these?” Franklen questioned, as he recognised the strange obstacle.

It was a very large statue, which was made of metal and it resembled a horse. It looked intimidating, as it stood in front of the ponies and their friends. Not only that, but there were more statues in the surrounding area.

“I have a bad feeling about this.” Mandarin stammered, panicking in fear.

“I wouldn’t touch that if I were you.” Trunkle warned, trying to discourage Franklen.

Just as Franklen stepped towards the statue, it unexpectedly came to life. It was powered by dark energy, as it turned its head to face Franklen. As it began to move, Franklen quickly jumped out of the way.

“Yikes! Don’t hurt me!” Franklen screamed, as he fled from the statue.

All of a sudden, the other statues also came to life. As they began to move, they turned their heads to face the ponies and their friends. Without warning, they slowly plodded towards them.

“Trojan Horses!” Katherine shouted, charging up her horn.

“There are too many, but we can handle them!” Persephone yelled, spreading her wings.

“Everypony, let’s use our powers to defeat them!” Seraphina bellowed, encouraging her friends to fight back.

Immediately, the ponies and their friends began to fight against the Trojans. Seraphina casted magic spheres at an approaching Trojan, rapidly destroying it in the process. Persephone and Katherine created plants combined with electricity, as this mowed down a pair of Trojans with ease. Goliath performed a roundhouse kick on another Trojan, sending it crashing against a wall. Trunkle stampeded into more Trojans, crushing them under his weight. Mandarin let out a high-pitched screech at extreme volume, while Franklen threw spiny acorns at the Trojans. Jasmine blasted a heat ray that melted the metal framework of the Trojans. Ragnarok shot flames with his breath, as they caused the Trojans to rust. Angelica was just about to join in, when she noticed that a Trojan was approaching towards Whopper.

“Hang in there, I’ll save you!” Angelica cried, as she rushed to Whopper’s aid.

Soon, Angelica summoned gusts of wind from her horn. These sucked up the Trojan, as they produced a strong force that affected nearby Trojans. As they continued to suck up more Trojans, Angelica remained next to Whopper’s side.

“Dude, I think I’m gonna blow now.” Whopper wheezed, about to lose his cool.

Finally, Whopper unleashed a huge stream of water from his blowhole. This instantly flooded the surrounding area, washing out all the Trojans. The impact was so intense that the ponies and their friends had to keep out of the way.

“Well done, everpony! That was a perfect teamwork!” Seraphina admired, congratulating her sisters and their friends despite the whole area being flooded.

“Perfect?! Look at what you done!” Ragnarok growled, his fur soaking wet.

“What do you know? I always store enough water in case I get dehydrated!” Whopper exclaimed, absorbing as much water as possible.

“Mission accomplished! Now let’s get a move on!” Angelica commented, as she quickly flew over Whopper and picked him up.

As soon as Angelica and Whopper left the valley, the rest of their friends instantly followed them. They knew exactly where they were going, as they went in the correct direction. Feeling desperate, they were eager to retrieve the meteorite.

“Look, there it is!” Angelica exclaimed, as she and Whopper moved further ahead of their friends.

Angelica and the rest of her friends continued their journey towards meteorite. They were feeling desperate to retrieve it to discover the reason of its presence. As they stayed close together, they finally noticed it in the distance.

“This is it, everypony!” Seraphina stated, marking the end of their journey.

At last, they were nearly there. They headed towards the last direction, as they approached towards it. Despite the dangers they had encountered during the journey, they were eager to find out the true meaning and purpose of the meteorite.

Last Reward

Last Reward

As they travelled through one last route, the ponies and their friends soon arrived at where the meteorite was. They could not believe that it was really the meteorite. They were amazed just by the mere sight of the meteorite.

“Looks like we’ve found it!” Seraphina proclaimed, running further ahead.

“Oh my, it’s beautiful to my eye!” Goliath stated, examining the meteorite.

“It’s bigger than me!” Trunkle bellowed, staring at the meteorite.

“Kept us waiting, huh?” Franklen taunted, making silly faces at the meteorite.

“Well, it sounds good!” Mandarin remarked, prancing towards the meteorite.

“Maybe it was worthy after all!” Ragnarok sneered, stalking near the meteorite.

“I wonder if it has crystals?” Jasmine chanted, daydreaming about the meteorite.

As Seraphina, Persephone and Katherine went to join the others, Angelica and Whopper just remained where they were. They were feeling unsure, as they felt how far they had travelled. Angelica let Whopper go, by dropping him onto the ground.

“I’m just gonna take a bath, dude.” Whopper replied, as he hopped into a nearby waterhole.

Shaking her head, Angelica decided to join the rest of her friends. She walked towards them, desiring to take a look at the meteorite for herself. Once she arrived, she slowly raised her hoof.

“Now let’s see what’s really inside it!” Angelica announced, eager to retrieve the meteorite.

Before Angelica and her friends could touch the meteorite, a loud roaring noise boomed from nowhere. They looked around, wondering where that came from. However, they realised what was happening as they noticed a large shadow from above.

“Oh, that’s not good!” Angelica cringed, carefully staying away from the meteorite.

All of a sudden, the creature finally landed onto the ground with a thud. It was Emperor Drakethor, as he revealed himself. The ponies and their friends screamed in fear once they saw him.

“What just happened, dude?” Whopper questioned, as he raised his head from the water.

Soon, the ponies and their friends began to stay away from Drakethor. He glared at them with contempt, before turning his attention to the meteorite. The ponies and their friends looked on in horror, as Drakethor approached towards the meteorite.

“Inferior imbeciles! It is I, Emperor Drakethor!” Drakethor roared, as he soon laid his claw on the meteorite.

“Hey! Leave that alone!” Seraphina scolded, quickly coming to the meteorite’s defence.

“Thou art weak, for I shalt destroy thee!” Drakethor growled, jabbing Seraphina away with his horn.

“So if it’s a fight you want, then it’s a fight you get!” Ragnarok barked, as he prepared to pounce on Drakethor.

Ragnarok crouched down, before he began to charge. He sprinted towards Drakethor, with his jaws open wide. However, he was knocked out from being struck by Drakethor’s tail.

“Verily, thou art all puny mortals! Now, I shalt make haste!” Drakethor snarled, as he grabbed the meteorite with his magic and spread his huge wings.

“Give that back, it’s not for you to hack!” Goliath yelled, as Drakethor flew high into the sky.

Once Drakethor finally left, all the ponies and their friends could do was watch. They were feeling sad, as Angelica sobbed by bursting into tears. Gradually, her sisters and friends realised this.

“Well, at least we had tried.” Seraphina mourned, trying to comfort her younger sister.

As Angelica continued to weep, the rest of her friends could not help but feel sorry for her. Unknown to them, a familiar being suddenly appeared from nowhere. It was Emperor Harmodius, who approached towards them.

“You have travelled long enough for this fateful quest, but that ended with failure.” Harmodius murmured, as he felt nothing but sorrow.

“We’re so sorry for letting you down.” Persephone grieved, regretting what they had done.

“We had tried to retrieve the meteorite, but it was stolen.” Katherine bemoaned, feeling so depressed.

“Perhaps that was meant to happen, though I had the chance to ambush Drakethor so I was able to overpower him.” Harmodius lectured, explaining about the reason of his presence.

“So what do we do now, dude?” Whopper asked, curious for a simple answer.

“Fear not, there is still hope! As this has just begun, only you can recover the meteorite! You are the chosen ones to save Equestria!” Harmodius advised, encouraging them to keep trying.

“Why, thank you so much!” Angelica cheered, hugging onto Harmodius leg tightly.

“You’re right after all! Let’s get the meteorite back!” Seraphina boasted, standing as proudly as ever.

“Now get on my back! It is time for our departure!” Harmodius ordered, as Angelica, Seraphina, Persephone and Katherine climbed onto him.

Once the ponies were on Hamodius, their friends quickly ran towards him. However, he urged them to stay back. Instead, he generated a portal with his magic aura.

“As for you, I want you to use the alternative direction.” Harmodius instructed, as he spread his wings and flew up into the sky.

Whopper, Trunkle, Goliath, Franklen, Mandarin, Ragnarok and Jasmine just stood there, as they stared at the portal. They all decided to enter, as they ran together. As they quickly went through, Whopper was biting Jasmine’s tail.

“You better take me with you, dude.” Whopper begged, dragging onto Jasmine’s tail with his teeth.

“Of course I will.” Jasmine relented, as she immediately flew over Whopper and picked him up.

Meanwhile, the ponies held tightly onto Harmodius as he soared through the air. By now, the sky was already dark with black clouds and purple lightning. Fortunately, Harmodius was able to ward these off with his magic aura.

“It seems that we have arrived at the next destination!” Harmodius announced, as he began to descend onto the ground.

Once Harmodius landed and crouched down, the ponies jumped off his back. They soon realised where they were, as they looked around their surroundings. Feeling so concerned, they turned to face Harmodius.

“Thankfully, I have tracked down Drakethor’s whereabouts. I do believe that he is somewhere around this mountain peak.” Harmodius stated, explaining about their location.

“I suppose this is our only chance now!” Angelica boasted, looking on straight ahead.

“I wish you good luck for your mission! You go recover the meteorite, while I shall stop Drakethor!” Harmodius commanded, as he soon ascended along the mountain peak.

As Harmodius was out of sight, the ponies prepared themselves for their greatest challenge yet. They knew about what has yet to come, as they had to deal with the consequences. Nevertheless, they were ready to face whatever stands in their way.

“So are we ready now?” Seraphina queried, turning to face her sisters.

“Yeah, let’s get going!” Persephone boasted, rushing into the distance.

“Come on, we have to hurry!” Katherine demanded, following after her sister.

“We’re going to save Equestria!” Angelica remarked, staying close to her sisters.

Immediately, Angelica, Seraphina, Persephone and Katherine began their quest to recover the meteorite. As they departed, they entered towards a nearby cavern. Meanwhile, Whopper, Trunkle, Goliath, Franklen, Mandarin, Jasmine and Ragnarok fell out of the portal as they landed onto each other.

“Hurry, we still have that meteorite to find!” Jasmine shouted, leading her friends along the way.

“Don’t forget me, dudes!” Whopper cried, as Jasmine flew over and picked him up.

As they scaled up the peak, Angelica, Seraphina, Persephone and Katherine stayed closely together as possible. They were feeling quite nervous, but they still had to keep moving. Until then, they soon found themselves completely lost.

“Wow, this place is a maze!” Katherine gasped, bewildered by the multiple passages in the surrounding area.

“We can always split up and see who reaches there first!” Persephone recommended, checking each pathway in total.

Before the ponies were able to decide, they suddenly heard a loud roaring noise echoing from the exact middle passage.

“Perhaps, we should be listening to where that came from!” Seraphina suggested, determining the correct pathway.

Once Seraphina entered the correct passage, Persephone, Katherine and Angelica began to follow her. Immediately, this lead to the corridor followed by a staircase. They kept following exactly where the loud roar came from.

“So are you sure about that?” Angelica asked, confused about their decision.

“I’m sure we’ll get there at this rate!” Seraphina replied, moving along the way.

While the ponies moved on, their friends were not far from behind. They soon reached where the multiple passages were. As they stopped to look around, they each chosen a different passage.

“So which one is it, dude?” Whopper queried, feeling confused by so many decisions.

“I do believe that we should be going there!” Jasmine exclaimed, as she and Whopper went towards the middle passage.

With no other alternative, Goliath, Trunkle, Franken, Mandarin and Ragnarok decided to follow Jasmine and Whopper. Together, they stayed close to each other as they entered the corridor. In the meantime, Angelica, Seraphina, Persephone and Katherine had travelled all the way through the cavern.

“At last, we’re at the summit!” Seraphina announced, emerging from the cavern.

“We’ll find the meteorite in no time!” Persephone proclaimed, following her sister.

“If it wasn’t for that creepy carnivore, that is!” Katherine declared, looking around the surrounding area.

Soon, the ponies finally reached the summit. They walked very slowly, trying to be as quiet as possible. As they got there, they could see Drakethor along with the meteorite.

“Look, it’s the meteorite!” Angelica shouted, before being shushed by her sisters.

Suddenly, Drakethor finally heard the ponies. He soon turned around to face them. He stalked towards them, his eyes filled with rage.

“Inferior imbeciles! Thou dare stand against me?” Drakethor snarled, intimidating the ponies a little.

“Yeah, and we’re the Space Star Sisters!” Seraphina shouted, as she raised her hoof.

“We’re going to defeat you once and for all!” Persephone yelled, as her horn generated magic.

“We’ll be taking back the meteorite now!” Katherine bellowed, spreading her wings.

“Silence! For thy insolence, thou shalt be punished!” Drakethor roared, as his horn generated dark magic.

Soon the ponies fought back against Drakethor, as they casted their own spells to combat him. They instantly avoided the dark magic, by countering with stars, plants, electricity and wind. During the battle, Seraphina turned to face Angelica.

“Grab the meteorite, now!” Seraphina instructed, telling Angelica to do exactly that.

“Okay, I got this!” Angelica obeyed, running towards the meteorite.

As soon as Angelica reached the meteorite, she placed her hoof to make sure that it was safe. She carried it with her magic, as she quickly headed back to escape. However, she was instantly knocked out by Drakethor’s tail.

“Oh no!” Angelica gasped, losing her grasp of the meteorite.

As Angelica layed down unconscious, the meteorite rolled away from her. Drakethor already overpowered Seraphina, Persephone and Katherine, as he stalked towards Angelica. Before she could recover, he lifted her up with his magic.

“So thou hast attempted to challenge me, if I am correct?” Drakethor queried, as his magic kept hold of Angelica.

“Hey, put her down right now!” Seraphina berated, urging Drakethor to leave Angelica alone.

“Thou art desiring the meteorite? Now thy soul shalt belong to me!” Drakethor roared, as he gradually lifted Angelica to his venomous, acid-infested jaws.

Seraphina, Persephone and Katherine could only watch in horror as Angelica was just an inch away from Drakethor’s mouth. Just as he was about to devour her, a beam of light suddenly appeared and struck him as he howled in pain. Angelica landed next to the meteorite, as she grabbed it with her magic.

“I always knew that you were nothing but a disgrace to all of Equestria!” boomed a voice from the sky.

As Drakethor and the ponies noticed this, they soon recognised who appeared before them. It was Harmodius, as he gradually landed on the ground. He casually plodded towards them, glaring at the comatose Drakethor, before turning to face the ponies.

“Well done, young ones! You have finally retrieved the meteorite! Your mission was successful after all!” Harmodius congratulated, as the ponies stepped aside to let him look at the meteorite.

“Yeah, it was hard work!” Katherine commented, wagging her tail.

“But it still had to be done!” Persephone stated, flicking her mane.

“Well, we did have a perfect time!” Seraphina proclaimed, raising her hoof.

“Now, I do believe that it is time to open the meteorite! Angelica, would you please do the honours?” Harmodius announced, turning to face the meteorite.

“Yes I would!” Angelica confirmed, as she instantly stepped towards the meteorite.

Immediately, Angelica penetrated her horn into the meteorite. It began to crack as it broke into several fragments, before revealing a bright light that eliminated the darkness in the sky. As Angelica saw what was inside it, she was surprised to discover sparkly shards emitting an illuminating energy.

“Wow! What are all those things?” Angelica questioned, as her sisters gathered around her.

“Well, these are Star Crystals!” Harmodius answered, observing the newly discovered materials.

“Hey, they must be the most rare substances ever!” Katherine exclaimed, peeking at the Star Crystals.

“At least there is four of them!” Persephone affirmed, grabbing one with her magic.

“I suppose all is well that ends well!” Seraphina remarked, feeling satisfied with the conclusion.

“What hath thou done, thou fools?! My reign of darkness hast been thwarted! This planet shalt make me feel so pathetic!” Drakethor growled, angrily blaming Harmodius and the ponies for his downfall.

“Drakethor, you really must change your ways. Since you refuse to listen to reason, there is only yourself to blame.” Harmodius rebuked, as he approached towards his cousin.

“I shalt return, and thou shalt feel my wrath! For vengeance, I shalt destroy thee all! Thou shalt be punished for thy damnation, so swears Emperor Drakethor!” Drakethor snarled, furiously lunging at his cousin.

Before Harmodius got closer, Drakethor used his dark magic to warp himself out of sight. Grunting in frustration, Harmodius headed back towards the ponies. They walked up to him, each holding a Star Crystal.

“I just wonder what is the purpose of these?” Angelica asked, with her eyes fixed on the Star Crystal she was holding.

“Well, there seems to be a mystery that has yet to be discovered!” Harmodius replied, observing at each of the Star Crystals.

At that moment, Angelica, Seraphina, Persephone, Katherine and Harmodius noticed something approaching. It was Whopper, Jasmine, Goliath, Mandarin, Trunkle, Franklen and Ragnarok, who ran towards them. Once they got there, they soon noticed the Star Crystals.

“Wait a minute, is it over already?” Trunkle queried, feeling confused.

“It may be alarming, but it really was calming.” Goliath sighed, in relief.

“Hey, what is that?” Franklen asked, noticing one of the Star Crystals.

“Oh my! It’s so pretty!” Mandarin purred, looking at the Star Crystal with awe.

“I’ve never seen that before!” Ragnarok barked, running up close to Mandarin.

“Yeah! I knew there will be crystals!” Jasmine cheered, adored with the Star Crystal.

“Now I’ve seen everything, dudes!” Whopper stated, joining the others.

“You have all learned very well, I had trusted you as my best pupils! Equestria is at peace, thanks to you! Now is the time for us to say farewell!” Harmodius announced, as he generated a portal with his magic.

“Bye-bye!, we’ll see you next time!” Angelica saluted, as she and her friends instantly went through the portal.

Once they were gone, Harmodius flew up high in the sky. Angelica, her sisters and their friends emerged from the portal, as they were back at the temple where the Space Star Sisters lived. They gazed upon the Star Crystals, being amazed by their dazzling gleam.

“Everything’s gonna be alright, Persy?” Katherine, crouching down.

“It was really worth it, Katie!” Persephone, flicking her mane.

“We’re so proud of you, Angie!” Seraphina kissing her younger sister on the cheek.

“Perhaps we’ll get to keep these things from now on, Serah!” Angelica, gazing at her own Star Crystal.

Angelica, Seraphina, Persephone, Katherine, Whopper, Trunkle, Goliath, Franklen, Mandarin, Ragnarok and Jasmine look around at the beautiful countryside. They were feeling so relieved that everything was now back to normal. They finally gave each other a big hug, as together they all cheered with delightful joy!
