Wrath of the Pony Gods

A few months had past since Rainbow Blast arrived in Ponyville. Twilight was still trying to understand how a Pegasus could have traveled back in time twenty years. She had performed a time travel spell once, but it only took her back a week before teleporting her back into her own time. It left her shocked that a pony without magic could travel so far back and stay there. She walked through her new castle's library, trying to find a book on the subject of time travel magic.

Rainbow Dash came in and said, "Hey Twilight, you got a sec? Blast's fully recovered and says he wants to show us something." The two ponies made their way to abandoned field where the rest of the group was waiting for them. "Ok Blast, what did you want to show us?" Rainbow asked her son, who she was still trying to comprehend having.

Blast stepped over to the edge of the nearby cliff and said, "You may want to stand back. I still haven't learned how to hold back the full potential of what I'm about to do." As he said this, the group slowly walked backwards and he sighed in relief. He didn't want them getting hurt, especially his mother. He flared his wings out and lifted himself a few inches off the ground. He put his hooves together next to his hip and starting focusing his energy.

As he did this, a colorful sphere formed in his hooves, and it grew larger and larger until he shoved his hooves forward saying, "Rainbow Burst... fire!" as he yelled the word 'fire' the sphere turned into a long beam of energy that stretched out across the horizon until eventually fading away.

Twilight stood shocked before saying, "What was that!? You can use magic!? B-But you're a Pegasus!" As millions of questions started forming in her head, she was interrupted by Rainbow Blast.

Rainbow Blast started explaining that what he had just done wasn't magic. He told them, "That's not magic, it's Ki. Ki is the energy that flows inside all living things, not just ponies, animals and plants too. Ponies are the only ones who are able to harness the latent power of their Ki though. Other species can tap into it, but not as much as ponies. If you try fighting Black without Ki, you'll never win, she's immune to magic. The resistance learned that the hard way... But there's another thing I need to show you. You all know about your Rainbow Power right? That power is hereditary, it's passed down to your foals. But since any foals you have will only have half of your DNA, they won't be able to tap into Rainbow Power the same way you will. And as the family goes on, the more diluted the Rainbow Power gene gets."

The stallion turned around to face them and started screaming, powering up. A bright yellow aura overtook his body, and as his screaming died down, the group noticed his mane standing up on edge, the color of pure gold. He started explaining, "I've only recently been able to tap into what little access I have to Rainbow Power. When I did, I achieved this form, I call it Super Equestrian. I have reason to believe that if I push myself farther, I might be able to achieve a higher state of Super Equestrian, but I'm not sure."

As he powered down and his mane returned to its rainbow color, Rainbow chuckled saying, "You are definitely my son! So awesome at such a young age!" She started thinking about what her son had said about fighting against Black, asking "So we've got to learn how to tap into our Ki if we want to beat Black?" Blast nodded and she said, "That's gonna be tough, you've been training to use that power since you were young, but us... we've always relied on the Elements of Harmony and our Rainbow Power, how are we supposed to learn that Ki mumbo jumbo so fast?"

Blast sighed and said, "I've known you my entire life mom, and I still don't get your million miles an hour attitude. Ki manipulation is something that takes time. You can't just learn it on the fly like you did with the Sonic Rainboom."

Twilight nodded saying, "Blast is right. Ki may not be magic, but I can see the similarities, it takes a lot of energy and concentration to use it. I'll consult with Celestia to see if she knows anything on the subject while the rest of you start undergoing training with Blast. That goes for you too Spike." she said glaring at the dragon who had started to sneak away.

She made her way back to her castle and started writing a letter to Celestia. The letter started

"Dear Princess Celestia,

It has been a few months since I last wrote to you, and I apologize, but I've been trying to cope with the events that have transpired lately. My friends and I have met a young stallion named Rainbow Blast. As hard as it may be to believe, he's Rainbow Dash's son from twenty years in the future. He says that all of us are dead, including you and Luna, as well as Discord. He also revealed a frightening truth, that the pony who injured him claimed to be me, although her mane was black as night. I was wondering if you know anything about an energy called Ki? Blast says we can't defeat Twilight Black, the pony impersonating me, with magic, we have to use an energy the flows through the bodies of all living things. I'm not sure how to make heads or tails of everything that's happened, but I do know one thing is for certain. I could never forgive myself if any harm came to you and Luna, and I couldn't be there to stop it. I understand if you're worried about my safety, I am too... but please don't try to stop me, it's against my instincts to turn away from somepony in need. I hope to hear from you soon, even more hopeful that you have advice on what to do.

Sincerely, Princess Twilight Sparkle."

She was still getting used to signing her name with her new title, but she didn't have time to worry about that right now. Her horn glowed and Spike appeared in the room.

Not noticing his new surroundings, Spike had spit out a small ball of Ki, sending it right into Twilight's face. He panicked as he saw Twilight on the floor and said, "Twilight, I'm so sorry! I didn't-" but he had calmed down when she got up and smiled at him.

She chuckled and said, "Don't worry Spike, it's my fault. I had forgotten that you were training with Rainbow Blast. I've got a letter to send to Celestia." She handed him the letter and with one breath of his flames, the letter was off.

As Celestia saw the green smoke materialize in her throne room and levitated the letter to read it, a look of pure terror overtook her face. She could not believe what her student had just written her. She walked out of her throne room and to her sister's bedchambers and told her, "Luna, pack your things, we're heading to Ponyville, there's a dire emergency there." Luna began to question her older sister, but she had already left.

"I hate it when she does that!" Luna yelled to herself as she started packing her trunk. What could be so important that they had to drop everything and go to Ponyville? In her mind, a light bulb popped and she said to herself, "Something must be wrong with Twilight... I hope she's okay..."
