New guy at CHS: The Mystic Realm
Chapter 8 (Beach Arc)
Previous ChapterNext ChapterCobalt arrived back home, and walked straight to Rainbow's room, but only to be stopped by Fluttershy, "Cobalt..."
"Yes Fluttershy?"
"I don't understand how this spell is suppose to work."
"Uh, I'm...," He looked at her room, and sighed, "What's the spell?"
Meanwhile, in Rainbow Dash's room, she was rolling around her bed quite angrily, "Who does Cobalt think he is? Telling a girl something like that. I mean, I know I confessed ready, but he didn't have to say that in front of the whole class," She glanced at her alarm clock, and sighed, "He'll be home soon, so I'll just listen to music until he gets home..."
And as Cobalt was helping Fluttershy with her spell, "Fluttershy! What did you do?!"
A large demonic bunny was seen hopping through the neighborhood, "I took your advice and shortened the chant, but this happened!"
"That spell is for turning innocent creatures into gigantic, destructive monsters!"
"I didn't know that!"
"Ugh! Girls, we have a monster attack! Come on, let's get going!"
Due to Rainbow Dash's music being too loud, she couldn't hear Cobalt yelling from outside, "Such an idiot... embarrassing me like that..."
"We'll save Angel for you Fluttershy, but we need to subdue him somehow. Hm, Fluttershy, find the reverse for this spell. As for the rest of you, I want all of you to help find a way to subjugate Angel without... uh... killing him. He'll be strong to take out, especially with his size. Here, let me do this," Cobalt started to say something in a weird language, "Wlc pc wkienxj."(Translation: Fly my friends.)
His friends started to float slowly within the air, "Cobalt, we can fly on our own."
"Yeah, I know, but I never get a chance to use this spell, so I wanted to try it once."
Meanwhile Rainbow was still inside listening to music, "Where is he? He said he would come talk to me..."
And outside, "Green acid!" Angel started spitting out massive sludge bombs towards them, each causing mass destruction, "Rarity, I wanna try something!"
"What!"
"Your shield, hit me with it!"
"What?"
"My copy ability! If it makes contact with me, I can use it! Just do it!"
"It doesn't have a name!"
"Don't worry, remember my lesson from today!"
"Alright," Rarity created her diamond-transparent shield, and moved it towards Cobalt. Once it came on contact with Cobalt, he took a deep breath and he soon created multiple shield barriers around him, "Wow..."
"Alright, I'm going to put a sleep spell on him! Fluttershy, you got that reverse spell!"
"Yeah!"
"Alright, here I go!"
And on the inside, Rainbow grew frustrated as she waited continuously for Cobalt to arrive, "Where is he!" She barged out of her room to see the house completely empty, "Huh?" Soon, she felt a large rumble and quickly ran outside.
"I can't believe that worked," Rarity said as she was huffing and puffing heavily.
"At least Angel is back his normal self...," Fluttershy proceeded to start coddling Angel, much to his dismay.
"Just remember not to use that spell again, okay Fluttershy?" She nodded at Cobalt's request.
"There ya are Rainbow!" Applejack yelled as she ran towards her, "Where were ya?"
"Uh..."
"Girls, head inside. Rainbow with me. Sunset, you and Twilight are in charge while I'm gone. I'll be back later in a bit."
"Where are you going?" Rarity asked, eager, and jealous at the same time.
"That's none of your concern Rarity."
"Of course it is! Are you taking Rainbow... on a date?!"
"Wel...," Cobalt stopped there, causing the girls to gasp. It even caused Rainbow to blush lightly, "Don't worry, I'm just going to talk to her about her behavior in school in a less... embarrassing environment. Midnight told me how you were during class last week. Girls, inside now."
"Yes sir...," One by one, they all walked back into the house, leaving the other two outside.
"Don't think I wouldn't find out. Rainbow, you've been neglecting your studies, sleeping in class, and not paying attention. You need to understand that your grades must be above a 95 to stay at Starswirl. If your average falls below that, then you're gone."
"I didn't..."
"I know, I forgot to talk about grades. That's my fault as a guardian. However, that doesn't negate the fact that you don't pay attention in class. Rainbow, as your guardian and teacher, I need to keep you on your studies."
"Cobalt, learning isn't my thing, you know that. I mean we haven't had any tests yet, so what's the big deal?"
"There's a test at the end of every month, and it's 250 questions long. Plus it has a writing portion, and an open demonstration."
"Why would they-?!"
"Because this is the top school for mystics. Rainbow, knowing you, you won't make it out of this school. Plus, they keep track of how many students drop out for each teacher. I have the highest rate at 70% of my students dropping out before the end of the trimester. Look, I want you to pass each test with ease. And I'm going to help you with extra tutoring."
"A tutor?! Now you're stretching it."
"Your tutor is me, and I'm tutoring you my way."
"I'm afraid to know what 'your way' is..."
"You'll see. We start now by learning the one power I taught today: Bolt."
"Okay...?"
"Alright, now first think about something... calming. Calm your mind first. Clear your mind of any type of distraction. To help you do that...," Cobalt went silent as he swept Rainbow off her feet.
"Gah!"
"Don't let this distract you. Clear your mind! Empty it, and remember the chant from earlier. Don't worry about shortening it! Calm yourself, and shoot me with Bolt!"
"I-I can't with you like this!"
"Yes you can. All mystics will have to go through something like this, so just do it! Don't let your dreams be dreams, so just... DO IT!"
"Bolt of lightning / Strike my enemy!" A bolt shot from Rainbow's hand, and hit Cobalt, shocking him fiercely.
Cobalt dropped Rainbow as she supported himself on one knee, "There you go... simple as that..."
"Wow, I never felt that type of power in my hand before..."
"And that's only the beginning. We'll continue tomorrow, meet me in the backyard once I return home, alright?"
"Yes sir!" Cobalt turned to walk off, but was stopped as Rainbow hugged him behind, "Thank you Cobalt. I'm sorry for flipping you off earlier."
"About that, you're grounded for the remainder of the week for doing that."
"What!"
"Kidding, but don't do that again, or I'll show the real power of Bolt," Cobalt held his hand up as it started to emanate a fierce electric field around it.
"Point taken..."
The two started laughing as they both walked back inside the house.
Author's Note
Haha! Added that outdated meme, huehuehue. Anyway, I hope you enjoyed this little bit of relationship behold between Cobalt and Dashie. I'm able to upload more because I have a different role that isn't as bad, but it... is? Eh, the big season still hasn't really started yet, but it will in about 1-2 weeks.
Alright, my break is almost over, so I'll see all of you in the next chapter! Peace!
