Secret Lightning [REWORK IN PROGRESS]

===================SECRET LIGHTNING===================

Well, it’s Christmas day, and I’m bored, so I’m writing this. I got a new phone, and $250, so not bad. Used that money to buy an upgraded dx6i transmitter and an msr x flybarless heli. I’m not sure exactly what day I’ll be publishing this, so yeah. Also, to all of the commenters, most of you kind of spoiled the surprise. And RaptorCalloftheShadows (guest), I wish I could do that, but I have no desire to write grimdark. Trust me, I read cupcakes. Um, yeah, suffice to say, it’s glad I don’t remember my dreams, because my parents say I was kind of loud that night. And I’m 18. Yeesh. Also, reading The cupcake chronicles helped, as in it, AJ stops pinkie before she can “harvest” Dash. All Dash loses is her wings. Then I’ve been reading Birds of a feather stay friends forever, which is like an epilogue to that story. So yeah, just to let you know, I used the cupcakes reference as a troll of sorts. Well that, and to make a cliffhanger that really…hangs. Anyway, I’ve been told my author’s notes are “bloody long”, so I’ll shut up and write.

===================Chapter 14: Awakening===================

Matt quickly looked around. The other ponies were all biting into their cupcakes, and seemed to be enjoying them. He shrugged, and bit into his. Almost immediately, his mouth was filled with an explosion of flavor. Cherry, coincidentally his favorite.

He shrugged off any other thoughts his mind had about the cupcakes. He had never been quite the same since reading that fanfic. It was one written by some random brony, and was basically the beginning of grimdark fanfics. It involved Pinkie Pie killing several ponies, and harvesting them for cupcakes, and offered a first and third pony view of Rainbow Dash being “harvested”. He had been forced into reading it by the same friend who showed him MLP:FIM, which made him question his friend’s sanity. Anyway, it was pointless for Matt to think back on this, as his brain had been incorrect in its first analysis.

“Do you like it? I’ve been trying some new recipes out lately. This one’s cherry filled!” Pinkie interrupted.

“Yes, it’s actually quite good.” Matt replied.

It was at that point that Pinkie actually took a good look at Matt.

She gasped with such volume that this author can’t even think of a way to spell it, while levitating into the air, legs straight out, look of pure shock on her face.

“Uh..” Matt was about to question just how she was floating like that, when she exploded in a flurry of words.

“OHMIGOSH! I just realized that you’re new here, because I don’t recognize you, and that means you new! Because I know everypony, and I mean EVERYPONY here in ponyville! We should totally have a party!!! NO!! TWO PARTIES!!”

Matt used a little bit of his telekinesis to push the Pink mare back down to the ground, and made her sit down.

[Story interrupting news break]

Sunday night at approximately 10:00 PM, a young man and his younger brother were out driving when they were in a car crash. The older brother, Ryan Damico, 16, of east Hampton CT, was driving, while his 11 year old brother, Matt (oh, the irony) was riding shotgun. Suffice to say, young Matt did not survive his injuries and died at the scene. Details are still sketchy, but it is known that Ryan was driving after curfew. Even so, that has to be the most tragic thing, to lose your young brother on Christmas day due to a car crash, and then have to live with it. So R.I.P. to Matt, we shall not forget you. I felt like posting this in my story because east Hampton is close to Wethersfield, where I live, and ryan goes to my school from what I am told. A couple of facebook friends told me about it.

Also, watching my news feed, someone who is running a facebook profile as the purple haired earth pony hairdresser that is part of photo finish’s entourage, is currently updating while stoned. Weed+facebook=not pretty.

Also, anypony want to add me? www.facebook.com/danabler42

And back to the story.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

“Pinkie, we can discuss parties later. For now, I think your friends have something to tell you.”

Twilight jumped in after this, “That’s right, Pinkie, we do. Could you come over here for a second?”

“Sure Twilight! What’s up?”

Before Pinkie had a second to think, Twilight stepped up to her, horn already glowing, and touched it to the party pony’s forehead. She twitched for a second, as if trying to pull away, but then relented to the memory spell. After a couple of seconds, the spell was done with, and pinkie was still standing there, but she looked…..different. the expression on her face somehow showed her as an older, more experienced pony. After about a minute, she finally spoke. “So, how long have I been like this?”

“About 6 years, Pink” Dash answered. “Same as me.”

“Well, this is certainly interesting.” It was then that Matt caught the corner of the pink mare’s eye. “And you! Who are you?”

Matt was surprised by her sudden question, but decided to answer anyway. “I’m Matt, I’ve been assisting your friends in this world for a couple days now. We are trying to go around and awaken certain ponies. You are on that list.”

“Awaken me? For what?”

“We don’t honestly know. All we know is that Princess Celestia said it was very important that we do this. And so far, we all seem to have very special talents, so I think that has something to do with it.”

“What kind of special talents?”

“Well…..”

Suddenly, as he was trying to figure out how to explain, several things happened at once. Twilight dropped her disguise spell, and sent a volley of magical fireworks streaming from her fingers, Fluttershy/Paige morphed back into her human from and then into that of a manticore, then back to human. Dash, of course, blasted off in a vertical takeoff, and managed to blow off a sonic rainboom before she hit the ceiling. When she gently touched down, she as well morphed into a human form. This surprised Matt, as he had never seen her use any other form than that of the cyan Pegasus. And yes, her hair was the same as her pony form’s mane, and rainbow colored as well.

Matt decided he had better join in on the showing off of powers. But the fire tornado thing he did last time would be too stale to try again, so he had to think of something new. Ooh! There was an idea!

He closed his eyes, and concentrated. He held out his hands, flat with palms up. Within seconds, two small tornadoes were hovering over his hands. But that was just the beginning. A couple seconds later, small globs of water flew out, and hovered around him, slowly orbiting. Next, at least 12 balls of pure light floated out, and joined the water globs, centering inside them, with the water orbiting around them. The tornadoes over his hands died, and he repositioned his palms downward, and took off VTOL style. As he hovered near the ceiling, air currents blowing dust and all kinds of loose stuff around, the balls of light with orbiting water joined him, orbiting around him, the light casting all kinds of cool shapes on all surfaces. The light/water orbs all grouped in front of him, small spikes of light beginning to protrude from the light orbs. Suddenly, the orbs grouped together tightly, spinning very fast, and finally smooshed into one. Then that one orb exploded with a miniature sonic rainboom, little bits of water and light leaving fire trails as they descended to the ground, dissolving within an inch before they hit the floor or anything else. He gently decreased the flow of air from his hands, touching down gently on the floor, and using one last tiny burst to dust himself off. He looked around to see that he had, yet again, amazed everyone in the room. He smiled. I should make a show out of this, he idly thought.

Pinkie was the first one to break the silence. “WOW! I never thought you could do something like that!”

Paige was next to speak “That…that was pretty awesome!”

Twilight was next “Yeah, I knew you had ability, but never this much!”

Dash was last to break her silence “That…was…AMAZING! You should make a magic show out of that!”

Matt chuckled. “You know, I was just thinking that.”

Twilight interrupted his next thought. “Sorry to be so rushed, but we really must keep going. We have four more ponies to get to by this evening.”

“You’re right Twilight, we’d better get moving. You coming Pinkie?” Matt asked.

“DUH! Of course I am!” Pinkie replied.

“Alright, we’d better get moving. Where are we heading first?”

“I say we go find rarity first, she’s closer to where we are.” Twilight replied, already casting her spell, complete with wings, and taking to the air.

Dash remorphed into a Pegasus, and Paige did the same. They both took to the air at approximately the same time. Matt pointed his hands down and took off as well. As they all hovered in the air, Matt had a thought.

“How are you going to join us, Pinkie?”

She giggled. “Silly filly! I know where Rarity’s shop is, I’ll just meet you there!”

Matt shrugged “Okay.” And the four started the very short journey over Ponyville to Carousel Boutique. Over his shoulder, Matt saw Pinkie begin her slow but steady hopping towards the same destination they were headed. He called to the rest of them, “I think it’s going to be a while before she meets us.”

Dash laughed. “Don’t be so sure, that pony can defy the laws of physics. None of us know how, but she can.”

Sure enough, when they arrived at Carousel Boutique, Pinkie was standing right in front of the door, a smile on her face.

After they all touched down on the ground, she asked “Hey guys, what took so long?”

“I guess you are faster than us, Pinkie.”

“Faster? I just hopped the whole way, silly! How could I outrun you when you were flying?”

“It doesn’t matter, let’s just talk to Rarity.”

He knocked on the door, and heard “Comiiiiiiiiiiiiing!” from behind it.

A second later, the door was opened, and a white unicorn stood in the doorway. “Can I help you……GASP!” she fainted, falling sideways in the doorway.

“Not again……” Matt whined.

======================END CHAPTER 14======================

Sorry if this chapter seems kind of iffy, I’ve been kind of busy, and my brain is full of derpy (muuuuuffiiiiiinnns) for a while. Also, I’m really pissed, because the copter I got? I bought the bind-and-fly package because I already have a transmitter. But the bnf package doesn’t have a battery, and no hobby store anywhere will have batteries till sometime after January 3rd, as blade released the msr x but no batteries! Fucking wonderful, blade! What am I supposed to do with this copter until then? Put it on a shelf and look at it? It takes a battery of a different size, burst rate, and Mah rating than any other battery. The only thing I have that is close is the batteries for my 120 SR, but they’re too big, the msr x can’t get its ass off the ground with one of those. Anyway, I’m done ranting about copters, and I just want you to know, the chapters WILL get better. My brain will be better soon, and I’ll be able to write with a clear head.
