Voyage Of The Unforgotten!
Chapter 42- The Help of a Panther!

Rainbow Dash's P.O.V

The sky grew dark and me and Soarin were still playing around and cracking jokes. We've been doing this for hours but I didn't want to sleep yet.

“Ahahaha man! I haven't laughed so much since we were kids!” Soarin snorted as I continued to join him with the laughter.

“Well it shows cause you're over here tearing up.”

“I only cry when I laugh too hard. I haven't done that-”

“Since we were kids. I know.” I sighed as I brushed the sides of my hair. “Man, where did the time go?”

“Yeah where did it go?”

The silence filled the air as the wind blew calmly in the sky as some leaves passed us. We still heard the loud rushing waves coming from the waterfall. Soarin got up and fixed his pants.

“Welp I dunno about you, but I'm going to bed. Ya coming?”

“Yeah in a few minutes. Imma go and take a little walk.”

“Are you sure?”

My brain stopped and my heart sank. The last time I refused an offer like that…..you know what happened. I don't need to recall. I felt that tonight I'll be safe and perfectly fine. I looked into his soft emerald eyes and smiled at him.

“I'll be fine. I'm just going for a-”

We heard a branch snap and we both turned around and I was ready for battle. Soarin hid behind me slightly and his voice started to tremble.

“D-Dashie? I'm freaking out right now.” He whispered in my ear. He clutched onto me more making my cheeks turn a slight shade of pink. I held his hands and then saw those same pair of green eyes.

“Soarin, don't move. They can smell fear.”

“T-They can??”

That's when we heard a battle cry and a loud FLICK and then thousands of arrows with fire on them was flying in our direction. Me and Soarin dashed behind a bush and everything just lit up with fiery flames. We heard animals running away and birds flying away. I grabbed Soarin's shirt firmly and looked deeply into his eyes.

“Go! Go warn the others!”

“What about you?”

“I'll hold them off.”

“With what Dashie? You got no magic no nothing? Whatcha gonna do?!”

A spear flung right past us and the men started setting the place on fire.

“Listen to me. You have to go!”

“But I don't wanna-”

“Listen you need to go!”

“But Dashie I-”

“Go just go! Trust me or you'll die out here!”

Soarin teared up and hugged me tightly and then ran off to the tribe. The smell of smoke and war spread out like a wildfire. The fire surrounded me in a circle and I leaped on the tree branch and climbed to the top of the tree but the fire was spreading faster and faster like it was chasing after me. I climbed to the top but the fire was inches away from me. The only way to get free was to jump off the tree. I started coughing tremendously as my lungs couldn't take anymore smoke. The smoke was causing me to become light headed. I successfully jumped off the tree and landed hard on the ground. I received a tiny scratch on my leg and I heard steps walking towards me. I heard growling before I became unconscious and the last thing I saw was a pair of blue eyes.

Unknown P.O.V

After rattling those little rascals out the island, I happen to spot this girl. She looked at me and her eyes were completely shut. I didn’t want to growl to scare her but since I'm a panther, that's the only thing I could do. My claws grew tense as I recognised the rainbow hair instantly.

“Rainbow Dash….” I said softly. I looked around to make sure Demetrius and his little dick of a tribe would come and make another scene. I carried her on my back before anything to serious. I made sure she was carried safely on my back as I started to make my way out the fire.

The scorching sparks of branches that would fall over me would easily burn my fur. Running like a four legged animal was not easy but this was the only way to save her without showing my true identity. I was thinking how come Soarin or any of her other friends didn't come and save her. Do they want her dead? Are they far away or something? The rain started to pour drastically making it easier for me to see without flames erupting in my face. I finally managed to get Dash to the safer part of the island where I stopped and found a few huts guessing this is where she was staying. As I reached the entrance, many people was pointing their spears at me. I growled trying to defend myself but I didn't want Dash to get hurt.

“Hault! Who goes there?!” A feminine voice answered and did a flip in front of me and clutched onto her spear. Once she saw me, she grumbled and gritted her teeth sharply.

“A black panther?! What are you doing with Dash's body?! DID YOU COME HERE TO SHOW OFF?!?!?!”

“No! You got the wrong guy. I'm just returning this precious jewel back to where she belongs.”

I guess my deep manly voice was sort of similar to Demetrius’s voice because she wasn't having it.

“Demetrius! You shouldn't have come here! After what you did to Soarin!!!”

“What no! I'm not that son of a bitch! What did he do to Soarin?! Listen my name is-”

“Save it for your dying bed! Strap him up! Shivani wouldn't be pleased!”

“Wait! Please you got the wrong-”
“Sunrise! What's going on?!” Another female voice interrupted as another girl, who seemed like the leader, stood next to the another savage girl.

“Demetrius decided to show his face once again! By bringing Dash's dead body!”

“What?! No! This is just a misunderstanding! She's not dead she's-”

“Demetrius! What did I tell you about showing your forbidden face in MY tribe?!”

“Could someone just listen to me?! Shit!” I yelled. I placed Dash on the ground and pushed her to the leader. “I found Dash lying on the ground in the midst of the black panther’s ambush. I was just protecting her and sending her back safely.”

“SUCH LIES!!!” The first girl who's name was Sunrise blurted out causing a huge murmur to break out.

“Hush! Continue…” The leader spoke.

“I'm just bringing her here so she can be safe and I'll be on my way! So please let me go.”

“How can we trust him? He's a black panther!” Sunrise hollered and was about to strike me when a squeaky, bubbly voice interrupted the crowd.

“No!!!”

Everyone turned around to see a set of fushia curls bounce up and down as the figure came closer, it was Pinkie Pie, holding a brown nunchaku in her hands while her face was painted with blue polka dots. She walked towards me and then she looked at Dash who was groaning and opening her eyes slightly. Pinkie took the side of my face and stared deeply into my eyes.

“If he was a blank panther, how come his eyes are yellow? If he was a black panther, why did he bring Dashie here without killing her?” Pinkie spoke up while everyone was quiet. I smiled at her and licked her hand. She blushed slightly and giggled. She petted my head and leaned closer to my face.

“I know it's you...just please let that be you. I hope I'm telling the truth…” She teared up. I chuckled and licked her cheek too causing me and her to both blush. I finally revealed my true form after a green aura surrounded me causing me to reveal the secret. I chuckled and so did she as she hugged me or rather squeezed me tightly and giggled more.

“Oh Tiran! I knew it was you!”

“Yeah Fluffy, it's me.” I replied as I patted her head. She giggled and played with my hair.

“I missed you so much you don't know-HEY!! Don't call me Fluffy!”

“Heh, why not? It fits you. Besides I missed you aswell. Now, I'm going to take this angel to sleep.”

Rainbow Dash's P.O.V

The next day….

It was quiet and the sun was shining brightly. I opened my eyes and I saw the door and I looked around I realized I was on the couch. I was snuggled in the blanket as I felt someone's hand over my head.

“Hehe good morning.”

I turned around and saw a changeling leaning against the couch smiling. I chuckled and got up and felt some burns on my face. Some bandages were over my cheeks. I coughed slightly and rubbed my eyes.

“T-Tiran? Is that….is that you?”

“Yeah sunshine. How ya feeling?”

“I'm alright. Where is everybody?”

“Out. Doing stuff. Eh, who cares about them. What matters is that you're okay.” He smiled as his cold freezing hands touched my forehead. We both reacted by screaming and then we both backed away.

“Damn Tiran your hands are freezing cold!”

“And you're freaking hot. Not your appearance this time.”

We both doubled with laughter and he smiled and I smiled too. It was a pretty awkward moment but I looked away and he chuckled.

“What are you doing here? Shouldn't you be at Tirek’s castle like you said you would?”

“Yeah about that….I was on my way there until a group of men that ambushed me and I fought back for a few minutes. They had some stuff in their hands but I stole some stuff from them.”

“Tiran! It's not good to steal!!”

“Listen sunshine, I had too. Besides, Demetrius and his fucking dickheads are nothing but little minions to Tirek.”

“Demetrius!!! You met him?”

“Yeah pretty much. I knew them a long time ago. I heard he did something to Soarin. What'd he do so I can snap his neck?!”

“Hahaha relax hot shot, he's fine.”

“Good. He better be. Oh, I happened to steal THIS if you're wondering what did I steal.”

He threw something at me and I caught it revealing something blue and shiny. I opened my fingers and it revealed the sapphire necklace. I gasped and ran to his face and smiled really big at Tiran while he backed up a bit.

“Heh what?”

“This is the sapphire necklace! The one where Chrysalis was trying to steal. And you stole it before as-”

“Yeah yeah sunshine. I know. I hated being that guy. So can we drop that convo like it never happened?”

“Whatever you say Tiran. But, I'm not a good girl when it comes to making promises I can't really keep.” I smirked at him while wiggling my brows. He chuckled and carried me in his arms and booped my nose.

“Heh, you better.” He smiled as he placed me on the couch again. “So, what is this place? Is it some place where you keep crazy, savage people who think they can fight but they really can't? Hence some people.” He looked down at me and smirked and then started laughing. I pouted and nudged his shoulder while laughing at it afterwards.

“Oh my gosh! I hate you!”

“Hahahaha nah. You love me. Admit it.”

“Hmmm is this a rhetorical question?” I joked making him more upset, but in a good way.

“Shut up! You're so freaking annoying. Yet cute sometimes.”

“Oh hush it.” I covered his mouth as we both laughed. “I'm super happy you collected the sapphire! You're the sweetest!”

“Heh, I try to be.” He said calmly while getting a little nervous or should I say embarrassed. Usually, he doesn't get embarrassed much but it's sort of rewarding if you make him blush. I hugged him tightly and he hugged me back. After the hug, we looked into each other's eyes and we both smiled.

“Ugh get a room!”

We both turned around and saw Soarin leaning by the door while dying of laughter.

“Hehe, just kidding. Please don't kill me Tiran.”

“Ah Soarin. It's good to see ya again bro. How ya been?”

“Well, I wouldn't be here if it wasn't for Dashie.”

“Yeah I heard what that son of a bitch done to you. I'll get my revenge on him before we go and get revenge on Tirek.” Tiran balled up his fist and cracked his knuckles. “But for now, I’m starving..”

“Well, go and get something to eat dummy!” I told him while putting one of my hands on my waist and the other on Soarin's shoulder.

“I will eat calm down! After all, this is a facility where savages pretend that they can fight when they can't.” He stuck his tongue out at me and then laughed. I threw a random book that was in the room in his direction but he moved and then started laughing loudly.

“I really really hate you now!”

“Oh? So you loved me before right?” He joked and I started chasing after him in the tiny room while Soarin kept chuckling while he jumped in too.

“Dashie!! Gimme the book!” He yelled.

“What?! Soarin don't help her!” Tiran shrieked as I pounced him and grabbed the book and started smacking him with it while Soarin kept playfully punching me. After a few minutes, we all were on the floor panting away and laughing like crazy.

“What's with the paint on your faces? I like them.”

“You need some too. You have to blend in. I dunno how since you're a changeling and they don't really like the color black.” Soarin brushed his hair with a flick of his hand.

“Well, I can disguise myself as someone…”

Me and Soarin both gave him a glare because the last time he did that...it wasn't a pretty site.

“Maybe you can try being your OWN character.” I smiled at him. “Can you do that?”

“We change into things not make our own characters, but I'll see what I can do.” He smiled at both of us and pulled us into a group hug and we all hugged back and smiled.

“Welcome to the tribe!”
