New guy at CHS: The Mystic Realm

"We thought we'd never find you Cobalt...," The girls continued to hug Cobalt, much to his discomfort.

"Uh, as much as I enjoy being hugged by 6 cute girls. I think you have the wrong person. I don't know any of you, and I need to get back to work. I have to close up in about an hour."

"Uh, girls, group huddle!" They all gathered up together and began to find a way to get his memory back, "How did we all get our memories back?"

"Well," Twilight started, "I remembered a conversation we had before going to the beach..."

"I remembered...," Rainbow paused, and blushed, "Just take a guess..."

"Same here...," Fluttershy shyly said.

"'Ah remembered our date that he had with me before he left for the mystic realm..."

"Well, Cobalt always used to teach me privately about mystics, so I remembered instantly every lesson he taught me."

"Privately you say?" They all stared at Sunset at the mention of her being somewhere private with Cobalt.

"It wasn't like that. Just, whatever. What about you Pinkie?"

"Oh, I remember the party threw for before he left. That party was awesome!"

"Right, so how do we get Cobalt to gain his memories back?"

"Well, we all remembered something significant. Maybe if we can jolt Cobalt's memory with something significant to him, then maybe he'll get his memory back," They all turned towards Cobalt who was still holding the pizza.

"Uh, I need to get back to work, so I'll just let you girls have this for free...," Cobalt was about to put the pizza down, but he was stopped by Twilight, "What is this?"

"Just a little telekinesis. Now, I want-."

"Wait, telekinesis? That's just obsurd. There's no way that's humanly possible..."

"Well, I'm using it on you now aren't I?"

"Point taken..."

"Now, I want you to remember some stuff..."

"Like...?"

"What school did you go to?"

"Crystal Prep...," They all looked on in surprise at the school he said he attended, "Uh, problem?"

"No, you never attended that school. You went to CHS..."

"Ew, that school has a bunch of losers..."

Rainbow grew angry, but kept her cool, "Well, what were your grades?"

"Straight A's in honor classes," They all jumped back into a huddle.

"Well, he's still a genius, but what else can we do to jog his memory up?" They all thought it over, and Rainbow snapped her finger.

"That's it. Cobalt lived in the mountains before coming here. Maybe we can talk about his village."

"Good idea. Cobalt?"

"Yes?"

"Have you lived in Canterlot your whole life?"

"Uh...," Cobalt looked away as he answered, "Of course, why wouldn't I have, haha..."

"Bingo. Are you sure you didn't live in any mountain of some sort?"

"N-No, of course not... hehe..."

"You're stuttering...," Rainbow smirked as Cobalt began to stutter.

Crap, how do they know? Damn it, did word get out?

They all stared at him as he began to talk out loud. It then clicked, and Sunset pointed it out, "Cobalt, stop talking out loud."

It then all flowed back to Cobalt.

That's it. I remember everything!

"You girls... are my friends..., and my... lovers..."

They all smiled brightly as they surrounded Cobalt in a big group hug, "Cobalt! You're back!"

"Yup, but why is the one thing I hate doing is the one thing that brings my memory back. I thought that gag was over an done with!"

They all laughed as they settled down in the house. Lapis peaked out to see Cobalt in their house, "Cobalt?"

"Hey Lapis, long time no see..."

"Yay!" Lapis ran over to hug Cobalt, in which he returned it.

"I should really head back to work, but a little extra time should be fine. I'll just call my boss."

Cobalt took out his phone, and went out the back door. Once he did so, the girls smiled greatly and giggle, "Finally!" They all leaned back in relieve, "Now we just have to find out how to get to Rarity..."

Cobalt walked back in and took off his uniform shirt and hat, revealing his toned body once again. The girls were enticed by his body, before snapping out of their trance.

"Anyway, girls, I can't be of any use to you. Without my powers, I stand no chance against Brisk and his elite soldiers. The most I can do is tell you where Rarity is being held..."

"What kind of enthusiasm is that Cobalt? You can still fight, power or no power. Yes, the chances of you doing anything to Brisk now is low, but not doing anything won't do Rarity any good. The best you can do is get us more help."

"Well, every nation in the mystic realm dislike Brisk, but out of the 3 that dislike him, only 1 remains."

"What?"

"2 of the 4 nations surrendered before any blood was shed. The last remaining nation is Helios."

"Helios? Aren't they known for the power of their navy?"

"Yes, but they're dangerous on the ground as well. Brisk hasn't taken the risk of invading due to their weak navy. He's been slowly building his numbers over time, and with my defeat, Helios' morale will surely have dropped. He may take this one opportunity to invade. But only after we take down his strongest fortress..."

"Huh? We're going to attack right away?"

"It's the only way. We catch them off guard with a large, powerful army, and then we take the base with ease."

"That's easier said than done Cobalt...," They all nodded in agreement.

"It's easier with family," They turned to see Emerald waiting by the door, "Welcome back bro."

"It's good to be back, but when you say family, you only mean the two of us. What can the two of us possibly do against Brisk...?"

"That's not exactly what I mean. You're in for a surprise though," After she said this, Two people Cobalt had not seen, or hoped to have seen in two years.

Cobat when wide eyed as he said, "Our parents...?
