Heroes travels

Callum was running out of places to hide while he followed the 3 ponies. there were some bushes he could use but the rustling of the leaves would grab attention. Trees? they were to far apart or too thin to hide his body behind. He decided to watch the ponies from a far distance with the binoculars he still had when he ended up in this wierd place.

The ponies were soon small dots in his line of sight until noticed a nearby tree. It was quite tall, the branches were thick, judging by this. Callum thought that the branches should be able to lift his body weight without breaking. He climbed to the second branch and sat on it, he pulled out his binoculars and proceeded in watching the ponies.

Meanwhile with the ponies

***

The sun was at its highest peak, Twilight knew it was around 12pm. Ponyville was in full view and it would only be around 10 minutes for them to arrive at Twilight's house. The only problem however is the residents of Ponyville...

"you know...im sure everypony will be bombarding us with questions if we walk through Ponyville in broad daylight with this thing with us" Rainbow stopped walking which caused the other 2 ponies to look back at her "Maybe we should hide it until its darker before we take it to your basement Twi"

Twilight stared at the cyan pegasus before looking at the creature being levitated by her "Maybe she is right" she thought to herself

"But it needs medical help right away and we dont have time to lose" Fluttershy responded in a brave, assertive voice.

Both of the pegasi looked at Twilight and said in unison "What should we do?"

Twilight dreaded being put under pressure. Both sides made valid points but they were talking about an unknown creatures health at risk. Twilight sat herself down on some nearby grass and started to think to herself "If we do hide the creature...then it's condition would get worse...but on the other hoof, we would most likely get noticed by somepony or even worse, Pinkie Pie"

While Twilight was thinking, Fluttershy was keeping an eye on the creature while Rainbow was watching Fluttershy in case she tried to do anything she would regret.

Twilight broke the silence while standing back up "I have made a decision. We are going to find a way of hiding this thing while we make our way back to my house, Rainbow. i will need you to go and find something we can use to hide it,

Rainbow held her hoof to her chin "What about bedsheets? i think they would do the trick"

"Perfect, Fluttershy, i will need you to be my lookout while we head back to my house"

Fluttershy nodded as Rainbow took to the skies in her search for bedsheets.

Meanwhile, with Ashley and Joseph

***

Ashley was leaning himself against the wall with his arm crossed while Joseph was on the computer

"I have some good news and bad news, which do you want first?"

Ashley stood up straight and looked towards Joseph "im'ma go with good first"

"Very well, the good news is that you have been approved"

Ashley tilted his head to the side slightly "Approved for what?"

"Oh i didn't tell you? I requested for you to pull through and survive and well, they said yes but on some certain conditions"

"Thats great news, but what are the conditions" Ashley sat himself back down into his chair

"Well this is the bad news. They said that they will have to erase segments of your memory, starting with this meeting of us but dont worry. Every guardian has to erase their clients memory of their meeting but they are introducing a new system where we give you those memories back everytime we meet and delete them when the meeting is finished. Stops us from having to introduce ourselves everytime we meet"

Ashley stared at Joseph for a few seconds before scratching his own head "I understand...I guess?"

"Splendid!" Joseph stretched his arms out before yawning "And to think, you still have a couple of hours with me"

"More time for you to relax while I sit in silence?" Ashley replied, giving Joseph a smile

"Yep, when something comes up then I will tell you" Said Joseph as he put his hands on his stomach, feet rested on the desk as he closed his eyes. Drifting of to some well deserved sleep.

Back to the ponies

Rainbow Dash returned a few minutes later with several bed sheets, she gave them to Fluttershy who then placed them gently over the creatures body, she double checked to see any parts of the creature could be seen...Nope, everything was hidden

"Rainbow, i will need you to distract everypony while we sneak back to my house" said Twilight as they all made their way to Ponyville

"Twilight, you're talking to the fastest flier in the whole of Equestria! I have a couple of awesome tricks I can perform to keep my fans distracted" replied Rainbow Dash as she held a hoof up to her chest.

Twilight smiled to herself. How could she forget it was Rainbow Dash...That pegasus would easily get everyponies attention

The 3 ponies arrived in Ponyville shortly after. Rainbow flapped her wings so she could hover above the ground "i will see you two at Twilights in about 10 minutes" she said to the others before taking off to the skies

Fluttershy and Twilight proceeded through the alleyways of Ponyville, only to stopping when they thought they heard somepony behind them.

Rainbow Dash was doing what she does best. She flew to the center of Ponyville and started to perform sharp turns around the market stalls before performing a flip. She then flew up at an incredible speed towards the clouds, bursting through them to make them disperse into smaller clouds. She looked down to see ponies looking up to her with smiles on their faces, some were cheering while others clapped their hooves together.

Back to Callum

***

Callum followed the ponies into the town. The appearance of the town made him feel sick, it was to brightly coloured for his tastes but he smacked himself on the side of the head with his palm to make him gain focus on the ponies. Seeing through his binoculars, he watched the cyan pegasus performing tricks until he noticed the yellow and purple ponies from before, trying to sneak through alleyways

"Huh...these things are smarter than I thought" he said to himself. He climbed out of the tree and proceeded to the civilisation before him, checking frequently through his binoculars to see where the ponies he saw from earlier were heading to.

As he drew closer to the town, he looked through the binoculars once more to see the purple and yellow ponies walk inside a huge tree in (what he presumed) the middle of the town, he knew that if he was to walk in the town in daylight that he would be discovered very quickly. he put the binoculars back into his bag and headed back to the forest "Dont worry Ashley...I will come for you at night" he thought to himself

***

Back to the ponies (again)

***

"Wasn't even doing of my new tricks and yet they still love me" she thought to herself as she flew her way towards Twilight's only to see her 2 friends and the levitating creature into the house. Rainbow slowed herself down when she neared Twilight's door, flapping her wings to bring her to a hover off the ground before landing. She then knocked on the door.

"Can you go and attend to the pony at the door while I get this thing into my basement?" Twilight asked Fluttershy who replied with a nod of her head. Fluttershy waited until the creature was levitated down the stairs before answering the door, only to see Rainbow Dash. She poked her head outside to check if anypony was following her before opening the door fully to allow her friend in. She then slowly closed the door.

Twilight proceeded down the stairs with the creature levitating behind her. The basement was filled with old science equipment which rested on a large table in the middle of the room. Boxes could be seen in the corners of the room as they were covered in dust. "Note to self; basement needs some spring cleaning" Twilight said to herself

She looked around her basement for anything she could tie the creature up with in case it woke up, she looked in small pile of boxes in the corner to find some rope "this will have to do" she thought to herself. She then levitated all the equipment off the table before placing the creature on it gently. She then proceeded to tie pieces of rope to the legs of the table using her magic before tying the ends of the rope around the creatures limbs. She then took a large piece of rope and wrapped it over the creatures chest before tying both ends under the desk.

She went back upstairs in search of a quill, ink and paper before noticing Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy were sitting in her living room staring at her

"I've tied the creature up securely and will do some research to see if I can find anything about it, it's best that you two leave so I can work" she said to the 2 pegasi before they looked at each other, they focused their attention back to Twilight who was levitating books off shelves and gave her a simple nod. They made their way to the door and left.
