Running.

That's all Moon Dust did the most. Run. This, however, was beyond what he was used to. Big flames were following him like the flames had a mind on it's own. Moon Dust galloped faster and faster, eyes focusing in front of him. He then felt the flames closer, almost burning his flank. To by some time, his eyes shined bright yellow, a rock wall created behind him. He knew that the powerful fire could get through it eventually, but it'll by him some time to gallop away.

As Moon Dust galloped, he heard an explosion, causing his ears to twitch. He gazed back and saw the flames moving even faster. Moon Dust gasped as he tried to gallop even faster, his body aching in the process. The flames then went sonic on him.. In one movement, the flames were by Moon Dust, flames reaching up to his chin. Before he was a goner, his eyes shined bright yellow again, picking up a large bolder as he flew away on it. The flames then followed Moon Dust into the sky, making him panic. As he panicked, Moon Dust lost balance and control of his rock and he plummeted into the ground. He saw a place filled with trees and such so he galloped there. Little than he know it was the Everfree Forest.

Moon Dust galloped even faster. Between the weird flames and the confusing animal noises, Moon Dust knew he wouldn't get out of there alive. Moon Dust panted as he gazed back at the flames which caused him to narrow his eyes. But he could still try. His eyes went yellow again, picking up a bolder he seen when galloping by. He went on his bolder and traveled into the sky. His eyes went downward, trying to find an abandoned place to crash in or something. However, the flames acted first. The flames, in one shot, went onto his body. The flames consumming him, going through his neck and body. Moon Dust had fear in his eyes, which broke his concentration. He slipped off his rock and fell onto the ground by the library, burnt marks on him. As soon as he was unconscious, the flames oddly enough went away.

The Mane Six were still in the same room. This time asleep. Applejack and Rainbow was still by each other. Rainbow was sleeping on Applejack's shoulder and Applejack rested her head on Rainbow's. Pinkie was still on the ground, sitting on her hunches asleep. Fluttershy was beside her still, also sitting on her hunches asleep. Rarity was on the wall, sleeping by the door. Twilight was on the stairs, sitting on her hunches, head resting on the railings. As soon as they heard a noise, the Mane Six jumped up.

"What.... What was that?" Fluttershy asked, lower than her normal timid voice. Twilight looked through the force field and saw Moon Dust on the ground unconscious with burnt marks. Twilight gasped.

"Everypony quick! Rarity let down the force field but once we get him in, place it back down, Rainbow, go upstairs and check on Spike while the force field is down, Fluttershy, get ready to care for this pony, Applejack, Pinkie, and I will bring him in!"

Darkness.

That's all he saw. Darkness.

" Is he alright?" Asked a shy, timid voice.

"He DOESN'T look fine to me" a tomboyish voice answered.

"That's cause he ain't waking up" a southern accent voice concluded.

Slowly, Moon Dust's eyes begin to open. The girls flinched in surprise. Once Moon Dust was in fully awake, he saw a pink mare in his face. "Hi, I'm Pinkie Pie!"

The rest of the Mane Six didn't see Pinkie ramble like she usually does and her statement sounded forced and not as enthusiastic as she would normally sound. And the girls can understand why. Moon Dust, however, had no idea what was going on. "Moon Dust"

Moon Dust's eyes looked around the library. "Where am I ?"

Twilight walked up towards Moon Dust. "Hi I'm Twilight Sparkle. You've already met Pinkie Pie. This here is Rainbow Dash, Fluttershy, Rarity, and Applejack. Your at the town library"

"How did I get here?"

"We saw ya on the ground with marks and we came and brought ya in here, sugercube"

Moon Dust looked around on his body. "Where did my marks go?"

Fluttershy smiled. "I took care of that"

"Thanks....."

"If you like, you could stay here for a few days"

Moon Dust eyes widened slightly. "You guys did enough. I wouldn't want to worry you. I'll just leave" Moon Dust tried getting back onto his hooves, but failed. Rainbow hovered above him. "You can't even get on your own two hooves.
You need to stay here for at least a couple of days" Rainbow says, giving Moon Dust a noogie, ruffling his mane.

"No it's fine" Moon Dust gave a fake smile.

Applejack can always sense a lie and Pinkie can always sense a fake smile. Applejack sighed and narrowed her eyes.

"I can always sense a lie"

"And I can always sense a fake smile or a forced smile"

"But seriously. I'll just get in your way"

Twilight sighed. "Girls, he may get in our way of our " plan", but I know we can't just send him away"

"Maybe he can help" Rainbow Dash suggested. She circled around him in the air. "He seems like the fighter type like me and AJ" Rainbow used her hoof to poke Moon Dust's head, but not hard. "He seems as smart and resourceful like you Twilight and Rarity"

Rainbow analyzed him some more. "He seem like the runner type like Pinkie" Rainbow stared him straight in the eyes for a few seconds before circling around him some more during levitation. "He has that unique " charm" like Fluttershy " Rainbow finally looked at his flank to see a rock with an aura on it. Oddly enough. "Has a cool cutie mark like all of us"

Rainbow then landed beside Fluttershy. "He's perfect!"

Twilight hummed. "I don't know..... We hardly know him. And he just got attacked. This might be too hard to him"

"Actually, I'd love to help"

Twilight looked at him in confusion. "Why?"

" I love helping others out with whatever problems they have " Moon Dust than smiled at Rainbow. "And I love running as well"

Rainbow beamed. "I knew it!"

Moon Dust laughed. "Your funny Rainbow Dash"

Rainbow Dash laughed back. "I try"

"But I have just one enncey beencie little question about your plan"

Rainbow quirked an confused eyebrow. "What's that?"

"What's the plan?"

" WHAT?! YOU GUYS ARE GOING TO TRY AND DEFEAT SOMBRA?!"

Applejack gave him a confused look. "Ya know Sombra?"

Moon Dust laughed. "Well not personally, but I've heard of him on the news. He was destroying the Crystal Empire and some dragon saved it. What was his name again? It was Spike wasn't it? Do you guys know?"

Twilight sighed sadly. "Spike's my brother. My adoptive brother. Sorta"

Moon Dust looked confused. "Why are you so sad about him being your brother?"

Rarity began to speak. "She's not. She just found out that Sombra is Spike's father"

Twilight growled loudly, clenching her eyes tightly. "He's lying! I'm just mad that he even said anything like that!"

Pinkie narrowed her eyes at Twilight. "He's not lying and you know it!"

"Do you want Spike to be Sombra's son?!"

"Can't hide from the truth. AJ, back me up on this"

Applejack sighed. "It's true. Ya can't, but Sombra can still be lying, trying to fuel up our anger. Maybe so, maybe not"

The rest of the Mane Six were surprised on how calmly Applejack had said that.

Rainbow then turned to face him while pounding her hooves together. "So are you in or are you in?"

Moon Dust gave her his most confident look. "I'm in"

Author's Note

Yay! My OC is finally making an appearance. He acts a lot like Terra from Teen Titans hu? The original, not that stupid reboot. Hope you like him. For now........

Also, no Spike in this chapter, but he'll be in the next. Hopefully.
