Chapters The Not so Averge Life of a Once Human Now Pony Named Minra
Chapter Two
Minra, Twilight, Applejack, and Rainbow Dash headed to an open field near Ponyville.
“Okay let’s test your strength.” Twilight said making a boulder so big it dwarfed them.
“Minra, for this test you’ll have to kick this boulder.”
“Are you sure about this Minra, I mean I’ve kicked boulders before but even I have trouble with one’s of this size?” Applejack asked concerned.
“I don’t know but I’ll try.” Minra said confidently as he turned away from the boulder and kicked it with his back legs, sending the boulder flying.
“Awesome!” Rainbow Dash squealed.
“Okay test number two, since it looks like you have a unicorn horn it would be safe to assume you can use magic.”Twilight said clapping her hooves together.
“But I don’t know how to use magic.”
“Well that’s easy just focus on the object or spell you want to use, make an image of what you want your spell to do but since it’s your first time using magic why don’t you try to lift this rock.” Twilight said pointing to a rock on the ground.
“Um well I don’t know if I can.”
“Trust me if you can send that boulder flying with a kick then you can lift a rock and like I said all you need is to focus.”
Deciding to go through with it Minra Focused on the rock but nothing happened.
“Hm, let me try something.” Applejack said as she picked up the rock and chucked it at Minra, but when he closed his eyes and braced for impact but realizing that he had not been hit Minra opened his eyes only to find the rock floating inches from his face and his horn glowing green, apparently his magic had caught the rock like it was second nature to him.
The three of them just said “whoa” at the same time.
“Okay test number three, flying.” Twilight said.
“For this test we’re gonna see how fast you can fly by doing a race from here to four laps around Ponyville.” Rainbow Dash said eagerly.
“Okay lets do this.” Minra said confidently.
“On your mark, get set, go!” The four of them yelled.
Rainbow Dash and Minra took off flying, the two of them equal in speed however when the two of them reached their second lap Rainbow got a little carried away and decided to pull off a Sonic Rain-boom in hopes of winning however when she looked behind her she saw Minra was keeping pace with her and not paying attention Rainbow Dash hit a bird and started falling unable to catch herself due to a broken wing. Rainbow Dash started screaming in terror and afraid that she was gonna die if she didn’t catch herself. Just as when she was about to hit the ground Minra caught her, turned on his back and shielded her with his wings. They had hit the ground with a solid thud.
After the dust had settled from the crash Twilight and Applejack rushed over and asking if they were alright. Rainbow Dash had received a broken wing ans some miner cuts due to hitting the wing but Minra on the other hand was fine. After Rushing Rainbow Dash to the ER the group found out that Rainbow Dash’s worst injury was a green-stick fracture to the wing on her left side making her unable to fly any time soon. Other than being annoyed that she would take such a careless risk Twilight and Applejack were happy that she was alive after a while they left leaving Rainbow Dash and I in her hospital room. We chatted for a bit and I found out that her favorite books are Daring Do books and that she has a pet Tortoise Named Tank. Eventually I had to leave but before I did Rainbow Dash said thank you for saving my life. I replied with don’t mention it and I left. I found it hard to sleep that night still not used to sleeping in another world but I did get some sleep and that morning I asked Twilight if I’m allowed to have any pets in the castle because I had a dog that I missed. She responded to my question with an “of coarse you can get a pet but you have to be responsible for it” Twilight told me so when I asked were I could go to adopt one she suggested Fluttershy’s place. After arriving I knocked on her door. She opened and asked what she could do for me so I told her I was looking to adopt a pet. Her face lit up like she had just received the best news in her life and it was kinda adorable.
“So what kind of pet do you want Minra.” Fluttershy asked.
“A dog would be nice if you have any that is?” Minra asked Fluttershy.
“I have a ton of them ranging from a female wolf mix to a male purebred chihuahua.”
“What’s the breeds in the wolf mix?” Minra asked.
“Well she’s half wolf, a quarter Golden Retriever, a Corgi and one hundred percent pure love she’s also very well behaved and listens to commands well.” Fluttershy said.
“I’ll take her then.” Minra said.
“Great and may I ask what you’re gonna name her?” Fluttershy asked
I’ll name her Sunshine.”
“Aww what a lovely name, okay I’ll be back with her so you can just sit on my couch.” Fluttershy said.
So I waited until Fluttershy came back with a wolf sized dog with soft coarse fur that was mostly brown with some white areas in some areas, she was wagging her tale in anticipation in seeing her new owner. Upon seeing Minra Sunshine’s tail wagged faster in hopes that he was her new owner.
“Sunshine this is your new own-gah!” Sunshine couldn’t contain her excitement and jumped onto Minra and started licking him feverishly.
“Ah sorry about that I was gonna warn you about her habit of jumping onto her owner, I hope you can forgive me for not saying it sooner.”
“Don’t apologize I love Sunshine already.” Minra said happily.
“Okay here’s her leash, have a nice day.” Fluttershy waved.
I was walking Sunshine home when I spotted Pinkie Pie or rather she spotted me and came hopping to Sunshine and I.
“Is that you new dog, she looks like a wolf, what’s her name?” Pinkie Pie asked.
“Yes she’s my new dog, she’s half Wolf, a quarter Labrador, a quarter Corgi and her name is Sunshine.
Sunshine barked at the sound of her name.
“So I hear you saved Rainbow Dash’s life yesterday, hmmm?” Pinkie Pie asked.
“I guess why?” Minra asked in confusion.
“Let me guess you like her don’t you?” Pinkie Pie asked with a smirk growing on her face as she asked the question.
“Wh-what makes you think that?” Minra said in embarrassment.
“Well it’s because your face is turning as red as a ripe strawberry, hehe don’t worry I won’t tell her.” Pinkie Pie said giggling and hopping away.
I got back to Twilight’s castle and walked in with Sunshine walking besides me and after I had shut the door I let her off leash and she started running around and exploring her new home so I told her not to break anything. Just as I said that Spike walked in greeting but upon seeing Sunshine he screamed and shouted that there’s a wolf in the castle, soon Twilight teleported with a small poof into the room ready to fight but seeing Sunshine licking Spike just giggled and saying “oh dear what a big bad wolf we have here”
Spike wasn’t amused at Twilight’s sarcasm while sitting with his arms crossed and covered from head to toe in saliva.
“Minra is this your new pet?” Twilight asked.
“Yes, her name’s Sunshine and Spike was half correct when he screamed that there was a wolf in the castle because Sunshine is actually half wolf, a quarter Labrador and a quarter Corgi, though I would be careful around her because she has a habit of jumping on ponies however she’s very well behaved and knows right from wrong as well as take directions well.”
“Cool, who’s a good girl, you yes you are.” Twilight said while petting Sunshine.
Spike and Minra were just staring at Twilight with really? Expressed on their faces.
Rainbow Dash came in through the door causing Sunshine to get ready to pounce. Seeing how close she was to pouncing Minra told Sunshine not to and she listened.
"Rainbow Dash you’re out of the hospital already?” Twilight asked.
“Yea they just wanted to keep me overnight for observations but since I can’t fly for a while can I stay here until I can fly again please? Rainbow Dash Asked.
“No problem.” Twilight said smiling.
Sunshine’s ears suddenly shot up and she started growling, something had clearly put her on edge.
“It’s quiet a little to quiet, Rainbow Dash, Spike you stay here and watch Sunshine, Twilight your with me.” Minra said.
“Got it.”
As Twilight and I headed our way to the door there was a low and guttural growl emanating from the doors when they swung open relieving a large wolf like creature that was black in coloration but it wasn’t a wolf because it had the wings of a bat and blue flames erupting from it’s back. Still snarling the creature turned to Rainbow dash and that's when it hit me, it must of smelled some of Rainbow Dash’s blood from when she collided with that bird and some droplets fell to the ground and must of left a trail. The creature soon darted to Rainbow Dash, without a second thought I jumped in front of her allowing the creature to bite down on my front leg. I winced at the pain but I still kept it in place allowing for Twilight and the others to escape and I soon took my dragon form and did an uppercut with my free leg which had caused it to let go and when I looked at my leg I noticed that it was almost healed. The creature had let out a blood boiling howl and lunged at me however I evaded the attack and grabbed it by it’s tale and threw it out the castle. It seamed to fly off in defeat but I had to make sure so I followed it only to realize it wasn’t escaping but was still after Rainbow Dash and just as it was about to swoop in I tackled the creature. It gave of a roar that I countered with one of my own roars. We’d wrestled a bit which was enough to draw a crowd however a held it down with my feet and growled at it signaling that I was the stronger one and it finally gave in realizing it’s defeat so I’d let it go and it flew away to Celestia knows where but before it gave another growl in which I replied with a roar which was enough to scare it away. I quickly reverted back to my base form and Rainbow Dash, Twilight, Spike, and of coarse Sunshine rushed up to me wanting to see if I was harmed. However Sunshine being Sunshine she was the first to greet me by jumping on me and licking my face in relief.
“Minra, are you okay were you hurt? The three of them asked.
“I am and I also discovered two new powers, regeneration, and the ability to roar like a dragon.” Minra said.
“It was so cool like when you jumped in front of me you were glowing green like the seventh element of harmony.” Rainbow Dash Said.
Apparently Rainbow Dash was right about me glowing because Spike and Twilight had also saw me glow green as well.
“I think I know what the seventh element is.” Minra said.
“Oh and what is it?” Twilight asked.
“Well it’s just a theory but I think the seventh element is self sacrifice.” Minra said unsure of his answer.
We later found out that, that wolf like creature was a Kludde
“Of coarse why didn’t I think of that, it makes perfect sense like you protected Rainbow Dash by jumping in front of her knowing full well you could’ve been killed but you chose to do it anyway to save Rainbow Dash.” Twilight said.
“Yea that was pretty cool of you like it made you twenty percent cooler however I am getting tired of being saved.” Rainbow Dash pouted.
Later that night Minra was asleep in a bed with Sunshine when he started having a nightmare about him loosing control of his powers and wrecking havoc on Ponyville while he watched from afar unable to do anything but watch and scream as his friends and new home were being destroyed by himself. When he looked up at the moon he saw it was flashing brighter and brighter as it got closer but he soon found out it wasn’t the moon but the princess of the night also known as Princess Luna, Princess Celestia’s younger sister who’s a dark blue alicorn with a flowing night blue mane and tail with a black crown and a crescent moon as her cutie mark flew down to Minra who was just staring at all the destruction.
“Minra, my name is Princess Luna and judging by what’s happening I’m assuming that you’re afraid that you can’t protect your home?” Princess Luna asked.
“N-no I’m scarred that I’ll lose control of my power and go on a rampage, and I’ll destroy my home or worse hurt my friends.”
“I see you’re scared of your power however it’s your power and you wouldn’t have this power if you couldn’t handle it.” Princess Luna said.
Looking up at Princess Luna Minra sniffed and asked are you sure. Princess Luna smiled and gave a nod as she floated back into the moon. With a gasp Minra woke up and looked out his window, it was still night out so he decided to take Sunshine for a walk just so he could clear his head. While on his stroll Minra noticed that Ponyville had an eerie peaceful atmosphere about it at night. After a while Minra decided it was time for them to head back.
“Come on Sunshine it’s time to head home.” Minra told Sunshine.
After arriving home Minra and Sunshine got into their bed, and soon after Sunshine quickly fell asleep and Minra fell asleep quickly afterwords. When Minra woke up Twilight and Starlight were in the kitchen eating cereal.
“morning Minra how’d you sleep?” Starlight asked.
“Good, also you probably won’t see me much today.” Minra said.
“Why?” Starlight and Twilight asked at the same time.
“Well I’m gonna be at Saddle Lake testing my abilities and I figured Sunshine would like to go for a swim as well."
“That sounds like fun, how about we invite everypony?” Twilight asked cheerfully.
“Okay, I could use a little relaxation.” Starlight added.
Just then Spike and Rainbow Dash walked in and asked what’s going on.
“We’re going to the beach!” Twilight Clapped her hooves together in anticipation.
“But it’s to early to go to the beach. Spike said.
Starlight and Twilight looked at each other and giggled.
“What’s so funny?” Spike asked confused.
Minra turned to Spike and told him that she meant later in the day.
Spike just face palmed himself at the realization of his own mistake.
“A beach day, aww yea I’m so in but you know as long as I stay on the beach part then my cast should be okay.” Rainbow said.
“I’ll pass out the invitations when I go on a walk with Sunshine.” Minra said.
Several hours later and everyone arrived at Saddle Lake, Pinkie Pie brought beach stuff like floaties, umbrellas, towels and chairs, Applejack brought the food and drinks, The CMC crew brought water guns, Rarity brought sunscreen and Fluttershy brought food for the animals.
Pinkie and Applejack immediately set up a volleyball court. Sunshine raced to the lake and jumped in. Meanwhile, Minra was practicing on different fire breathing focuses.
“Just don’t get any of that icky sand on me.” Rarity shuddered at that thought.
While Scootalo, Sweetie Bell and Applebloom were playing by the shore a dark figure had started emerging from the water causing the CMC crew to run in terror but upon closer inspection it was just Sunshine covered in seaweed. The three of them giggled. Starlight and Spike covered Twilight in sand turning her into a sand shell. Fluttershy was feeding the ducks some bread and Rarity was working on her tan while Spike watched.
“Hey Minra you’ll fly me up a couple of feet I could make a canon ball that would splash Spike are you willing to help?” Pinkie Pie whispered to Minra.
Giving a small nod Minra flew Pinkie Pie up a couple of feet and when he had let go she shouted “cannonball” and once she hit the water a small wave washed over Spike, leaving some seaweed on his head and two seashells on his chest, he however was not amused but every one else giggled at the sight.
Later when Minra and Sunshine were just relaxing Fluttershy came up to them and asked Minra how Sunshine’s doing.
“She’s been great though spike once got scared because he thought that she was dangerous but when Twilight arrived Spike was just sitting on the floor covered in dog slobber.” Minra said as he petted Sunshine who was fast asleep.
“Oh my Celestia really?” Fluttershy giggled.
Thinking to himself Minra thought that Fluttershy’s laugh was adorable.
“Okay everypony the fire’s ready.” Twilight called.
“Coming.” The group called back.
“Okay, who want’s to go first?” Starlight asked.
“I’ll go first.” Minra volunteered.
“Ever heard of the Foal of the Fog?” Minra asked.
Everyone shook their heads.
“Well the legend states that the Foal of the Fog was an ordinary foal like you three however when he was swimming in the middle of Saddle Lake something latched onto his leg and pulled him under, they were never able to find his body and now they say if your near the shore and feel a tapping then it’s already to late because he’ll drag you to the watery depths where he dwells until the fog rolls around to claim another victim.” Minra said creepily.
“Wait where's Pinkie Pie?” Starlight asked.
“Applejack I’m scared.” Applebloom said.
“Oh don’t worry sugarcube she’s probably prancing us.” Applejack told her sister.
Pinkie Pie suck up on Applejack and said “or am I?” Pinkie Pie whispered in Applejack’s ear.
As soon as Pinkie Pie said that Applejack jumped twenty feat off the ground with a squeal.
Everyone started laughing because they had all been in on it except Applejack of coarse. A few stories later everypony decided it was time to go home so they put the fire out, packed their things and went home.

Chapter 3
“Morning everypony, why did you have me wake up so early?” Minra asked groggily.
“Well it’s because we would like you to be a teacher at Princess Twilight’s School of Friendship."
“Wait what?” Minra asked in shock.
“Well you see each element of harmony holder is a teacher and we would be honored if you would join us as a teacher? Starlight asked.
“But I’ve never taught anything in my life.” Minra said panicking.
“That’s okay at our school you can use your own style of teaching.” Applejack said.
“So what will it be?” Twilight asked.
“Please do take your time to think about your decision if you want.” Rarity said.
“I’ll do it!” Minra said confidently.
“Excellent, you can start tomorrow if you wish but in the mean time one of us could show you around campus.” Twilight said in a happy mood.
“I-I’ll do it.” Fluttershy raised her hoof shyly.
Fluttershy, Minra and Sunshine left the castle and walked to the school and after entering Fluttershy proceeded to walk him around the campus with Sunshine kept sniffing everything.
“Thanks Fluttershy for showing me around campus, see you later.” Minra said waving at Fluttershy as he and Sunshine walked away.
“No problem Minra have a good day.” Fluttershy waved back.
Later that day Minra asked Twilight if she could show him the Tree of Harmony.
“Sure I’ll be happy to.” Twilight said smiling.
“Thanks and Sunshine you stay here, the Everfree Forest is too dangerous for puppies like you.” Minra said to Sunshine as he petted her.
Minra felt like he was being watched as Twilight and him went through the forest but soon enough the two of them happened upon the Tree of Harmony. The Tree of Harmony looks to be made out of some kind of crystal with eleven branches coming out of the trunk with one five of them holding Fluttershy’s element, Pinkie Pie's element, Rainbow Dash’s element, Rarity’s element, Minra’s element, and Applejack’s element but with Twilight’s element in the trunk there’s also vines hanging from some of the branches that have glowing orbs on them. How ever when Minra walked closer to the tree his element started glowing and shot out of the tree, hurdling to Minra then striking him in the chest even though he was in his Earth Pony form he felt no pain as a golden armor sprouted from the element. The armor was gold in coloration, and it had fit him so perfectly like it was meant for him and him alone, there was even to holes for his wings for his dragon form as if it was aware of his ability. Then the element started changing it’s shape into that of Minra’s cutie mark.
“Whoa this armor looks so cool and it’s so comfortable.” Minra said checkout his element holder.
“I must admit that element holder does look pretty cool however your element must be returned to the tree however you can keep the holder.” Twilight said
“Wait why do I have to return my element?” Minra asked giving off a confuse look.
“Well if you don’t then the tree wouldn’t be strong enough to keep the Everfree forest under control.” Twilight said.
“Oh okay, then how do I return the element to the tree?” Minra asked.
“Leave that to me!” Twilight said grinning as she took the element and placed it back in the tree.
“Well that was easy.” Minra said while a little disappointed expecting the task to be complicated.
The two ponies walked home. The next day Twilight had scheduled an assembly in the school’s court yard.
“Fillies and Gentlecolts I’m glad that you have come to this very special assembly, for the introduction of our newest Teacher and the seventh element of harmony, Minra would you please come forward.” Twilight said as she motioned to Minra and gave off a smile.
Minra walked up to the podium and spoke into the microphone.
“Hello my name is Minra, I’m your new teacher at Princess Twilight Sparkle’s School of Friendship. However I’m not just your new teacher I am also the seventh element of harmony and I look forward to meeting you.” Minra said.
The crowd gasped and started clapping and Twilight trotted back up to the podium.
“Again thank you for coming to the assembly you may now be excused.” Twilight said as the bell rung singling that is was time for lunch everyone who was attending left the court yard and most of them headed to the cafeteria.
“Just remember if need any help or questions you could always come to us.” Twilight said.
Minra and Sunshine walked to his classroom and double checked everything, however Sunshine sat in front of him wagging her tail.
“You’re right Sunshine everything will be okay.” Minra told Sunshine while pattering her head and munching on a mix berry scone that Pinkie Pie gave him as a gift for being the newest teacher at the school.
Several minutes had gone by when the school bell rung singling that it was time to head to class.
Minra let out a deep breath when nine students walked in and took random seats. He knew that he would have a couple of creatures that weren't ponies but five that was a shock not that he minded in fact he was happy which was a welcome opposite from his home world. Going down his list calling down his list of students.
“Sandbar?”
“Here.” Sandbar said raising his hand, Sandbar is a yellow Earth Pony with a turquoise mane, tail and eyes with three sea turtles for his cutie mark.
“Yona?”
“Yona is here!” Yona said raising a hoof, she’s a Yak from Yakyakastan, she has brown furr with green eyes and two tied up braids, that Rarity had tied for her.
“Smolder?” Minra asked.
An orange dragon who stands on two legs with yellow horns, magenta fin and tail, and blue eyes.
“Gallus?”
Raising his hand a blue griffin named Gallus spoke saying here. Gallus was blue in coloration with the tips of yellow tipped feathers on his head, with blue eyes.
“Silverst?” Minra was about ask when a hippogriff interrupted him.
“Here! Oops sorry for interrupting you Professor Minra my name is Silverstream.” The hippogriff said.
The hippogriff was light pink in color with light blue mane and tail and purple eyes, she seemed to be wearing some kind of necklace.
“Oh, don’t apologize and just call me by my name.” Minra said giggling and Silverstream simply nodded excitedly.
“Ocellus, please let me know if I said your name correctly?” Minra asked.
“Oh that’s correct.” Ocellus responded.
Ocellus is a light blue changing with a red back and transparent pink mane and wings and a singular horn on her head with blue eyes.
“My name is Minra and this is my dog Sunshine.” Minra said pointing to Sunshine.
“Now as you may know I’m the seventh element of harmony.”
Raising her claw Smolder asked what his element was.
“It’s self sacrifice.” Minra explained.
Smolder had let out a confused huh.
“Let me explain, you know of six elements, five of which have to deal with friendship however self sacrifice involves those five elements such as generosity, honesty, loyalty, kindness and laughter, but anyway tell me about you guys and gals.” Minra said remembering the times where he had saved Rainbow Dash's life.
Everypony was on board with Minra’s request.
“Okay so who want’s to go first?” Minra asked.
Silver Stream raised her claw.
“My name is Silverstreem, I’m a hippogriff from Mount Aris where hippogriffs lived and now live after the Storm King’s Defeat.
One after one the students spoke the day went on with school ending.
“Minra how was your first day of teaching go.” Twilight asked.
“It was awesome, the students were really cool, though I have one question who’s the Storm King?” Minra asked.
“Oh he was a bad dude who stole the power of Princess Celestia, Princess Luna, Princess Cadence and I but he got turned to stone and broke into pieces which interned freed the hippogriffs from their fear of him.” Twilight said.
The Not so Averge Life of a Once Human Now Pony Named Minra
Chapter Four
“Hey Twilight what are you going as for Halloween?” Minra asked.
“Hallo-what?” Twilight asked in confusion.
“Let me guess you don’t have Halloween in this world do you?” Minra asked.
Twilight shook her head.
“Well it’s a holiday where people get dressed up in costumes and go around houses and saying trick or treat for candy, however there’s also parties, fairs, movies, but one of my favorite things to do is carve pumpkins along with decorating.” Minra said
“Oh really tell me more like it’s origins and other traditions?” Twilight asked.
“Well I don’t know the exact origins but I do know why people dress up and carve pumpkins.”
“Oh tell me!” Twilight said excitedly.
“Well the reason why is to keep evil spirits away and to honor the nice ones, as for pumpkin carving it originally started with turnips and putting embers in them, until some people came to America otherwise known as the New World at the time and found pumpkins and figured they were easier to carve since they were already hallow-een-side.” Minra said jokingly.
Pinkie Pie suddenly appeared out of know where with a drum set and played the all to familiar sound, bud-um-tis. Pinkie Pie giggled then asked what the two of them where talking about.
“Oh, I was just telling Twilight about a holiday from my world called Halloween.” Minra said.
Twilight jumped in saying that Halloween sounded like Nightmare Night.
“Oh really does Halloween have a tradition where you offer candy to a statue of Nightmare Moon.
“Wait who’s Nightmare Moon?” Minra asked.
“Oh she’s just the evil version of Princess Luna.” Pinkie Pie answered.
“Wait Princess Luna is Nightmare Moon, she seemed so nice.” Minra said shocked.
“How do you know of Princess Luna?” Twilight asked
“Oh I saw her in a dream that I had.” Minra said.
“Oh okay but don’t worry she’s good now.” Twilight said.
“That’s good so anyway what are you going as for Hall-er Nightmare Night?” Minra asked the two ponies.
“I’m going as a zombie baker.” Pinkie Pie said cheerfully.
“What about you, Minra what are you going as?” Pinkie Pie asked.
“I’m going as a demon with the help of my dragon form.” Minra said.
“Oh cool, so what about you Twilight?” Pinkie Pie asked.
“I don’t know what I’m going as.” Twilight said.
“How about a mad scientist?” Pinkie Pie suggested.
“Great idea Pinkie Pie.” Twilight said.
“I know.” Pinkie Pie said hopping away.
Twilight saw that Minra was deep in thought so she asked him what he was thinking about.
“Oh I was just thinking we could have a Nightmare Night party at the school.” Minra said.
“That’s a really good idea Minra!” Twilight said excitedly.
“Cover your ears Minra this is gonna be loud.” Twilight said.
Minra covered his ears with his hooves as Twilight shouted that she needed a party planner, and right after she said that Pinkie Pie suddenly appeared in front of the two ponies.
“Agent Pinkie Pie is here!” Pinkie Pie shouted raising a hoof to her head.
“Pinkie Pie we are gonna throw a Nightmare Night part at the school!” Twilight told her.
“I’m on the case!” Pinkie Pie said dashing off.
Several weeks had went by when Nightmare Night had finally arrived and after every student had went home to change into their costumes the one and only Pinkie Pie brought out her party canon (spooky addition) then she began firing the cannon all over the school. When she was done the school had official been turned into a haunted school, complete with cobwebs among various decorations, several fog machines, some games here and for the final touches the entrance had been turned into a dance floor with a DJ booth, and a food stand that was made with the help of Sugarcube Corner and the Apple family. Vynal Scratch an eggshell white unicorn with magenta eyes, a blue mane and tale with sunglasses and a musical note as her cutie mark was the DJ for the party, she’d dressed as a banshee.
The CMC crew dressed as what they called the “Terrifying Trio!” with them dressing up as undead monsters such as Sweetie Bell dressing up as a vampire, Scootalo dressing up as a ghost and Applebloom dressing up as a skeleton. Applejack chose to be a scarecrow for her costume. Rarity decided to dress up as her favorite book character, Shadow Spade. Rainbow Dash dressed up as a rock-star. Sandbar, Smolder, Silverstream, Yona, Gallus and Ocellus showed up as well with only a few of them dressing up. Naturally Ocellus didn’t need to dress up because she could change her appearance and in doing so she chose the headless stallion. Sandbar went as ghost, while Silverstreem went as a which, and Yona as the spider queen. Gallus and Smolder didn’t really feel like dressing up however they still attended. Then there’s spike who decided to go as a cat of all things in hopes Rarity would like his costume enough that she’ll go out with him. However there was one pony who Minra didn’t see and it was Fluttershy, and when he asked his friends about why she wasn’t there.
“Well you see Minra, she doesn’t like Nightmare Night because it scares her.” Twilight said while kicking at the ground.
“Oh okay, well I’m gonna go...” Minra said.
“Are you sure, the party only just began are you sure you want to go?” Twilight asked.
“Yea I’m not feeling well so I’m gonna turn in for the night.” Minra said.
“Oh okay we’ll save you some candy.” Twilight said.
“You don’t have to do that Twilight.” Minra said as he walked back to the castle.
Minra took off his costume and left a note on his bedroom door say that he was sorry for lying about being ill, he just wanted to at least to give Fluttershy his company. Minra knew that Fluttershy had her animal friends but still wanting to keep her company through the night she was scared of the most. Minra trotted to Fluttershy’s cottage and knocked on the door and when he did a bear had opened the door.
“Um I heard that Fluttershy doesn’t like Nightmare Night so I came to keep her company, if that’s okay?” Minra asked.
The bear simply raised one claw and closed the door as if it were saying please wait a minute. When the door opened Minra expected to see the bear but instead he saw Fluttershy standing in front of him with a worried look on her face.
“Wh-what are you doing here?” Fluttershy asked.
“I heard you didn’t like Nightmare Night because it scares you so I came to keep you company.” Minra said with a smile.
“That’s really nice of you Minra, but wouldn’t you rather be out with our friends and getting candy?” Fluttershy asked.
“I would however you’re my friend as well and I’m willing to keep you company just to keep you from being scared even if that means missing out on one of my favorite holidays.” Minra said proudly.
Blushing slightly Fluttershy gave a shy: “Oh okay want to come in?”
“Sure.” Minra said.
Fluttershy motioned for him to come in giving off a small smile.
“So what do you normally do for Nightmare Night, if you don’t mind me asking that is?” Minra asked.
“Well Harry, the bear you just met usually creates a hiding spot under my bed for me to hide in until morning the next day, it might be a little cramp but there should be enough room for all of us.” Fluttershy said as she quickly closed the door and locked it.
“What do you wanna do?” Minra asked.
“Well I was thinking we could watch some ICylinder videos on my tablet if that’s okay or we could play some Tincrea?” Fluttershy asked.
Several hours of playing games and watching videos Minra told Fluttershy that he had to go home when she said something that he was not expecting but was still happy to hear it.
“Minra um could you p-please sleep in my bed with me?” Fluttershy asked blushing.
“Wh-why? Minra asked embarrassed.
“Well even though Nightmare Night is almost over I still get scared of the dark and I realized that being near you had made me less scared.” Fluttershy explained while getting redder and redder until her face was as red as a newly ripe red apple.
Deciding that if it made her less scared then that is what counts Minra agreed to sleep in the same bed as her. The both of them promised themselves that they were only sleeping in the same bead together nothing more nothing less. However when they woke up the next morning Fluttershy and Minra were shocked to finding themselves holding each other in their legs, but when neither of them said they had done it Fluttershy and Minra just concluded that the two of them must of done that in their sleep and upon asking Fluttershy’s animal friends if they had done anything more then just cuddle Fluttershy’s animal friends shook their heads in unison.
“Th-thanks for allowing me keep you company.” Minra said.
“Oh it’s no problem, thank you for being here.” Fluttershy said shyly.
There was an awkward pause before Minra said he had to get home to feed Sunshine and hoping that Twilight and Spike weren’t mad about him lying to them about being ill. As the two of them waved each-other goodbye they secretly squealed inside. When Minra got back to the castle Twilight was waiting for him.
“Sorry for lying to you about being ill I just wanted to keep” Minra said as Twilight cut him off.
“Oh don’t apologize, you lied so you could keep Fluttershy from getting scared right?” Twilight asked.
Minra nodded in agreement.
“Though I do have one question, why did you spend the night with her?” Twilight asked.
Blushing bright red Minra told Twilight about how she felt less scared around him and asked him to sleep in the same bed as her.
Upon hearing this Twilight decided to tease Minra by asking if they had done anything while they were “asleep”? Minra blushed even brighter and quietly say they cuddled.
“I’m sorry what was that?” Twilight asked.
“We cuddled...”
“Huh can you say that louder?” Twilight asked again.
Sighing in defeat Minra told her that they cuddled but not to tell anyone.
“Don’t worry I won’t.” Twilight said putting a hoof up to her chest.
Later that day Minra was drawing when he heard a tapping at his bedroom window and when he looked it was one of Fluttershy’s birds with a letter in their mouth and upon taking the letter the bird flew off. Upon reading the letter Minra squealed in excitement and joy.
Dear Minra,
Thank you for keeping me company last night I had more fun and felt less scared then I ever have on any other Nightmare Night, I hope we could do that again sometime.
Lots of love.
Fluttershy
P.S. Can you meet me at the park in Ponyville tomorrow, you know if you so want.
Twilight walked into Minra’s room only to see him squealing and rolling around on the floor with some sort of paper in his hooves. Upon realization that he had an audience, Minra got up and held the paper behind him while blushing rose red.
“So, am I interrupting something?” Twilight asked.
“N-no nothing at all!” Minra said in embarrassment.
The next day Minra got ready and headed to the spot where he was supposed to meet Fluttershy. When he got there he saw that she had already gotten everything ready with a red and white checkerboard styled blanket with a picnic basket.
“I’m gl-glad you could make it, I hope you don’t mind having a picnic?” Fluttershy asked blushing.
“I would like to.” Minra responded.
After a while Fluttershy told Minra something that he didn’t expect.
“Minra, I...I love you!” Fluttershy said blushing.
Blushing brightly Minra hugged the yellow pegasis her, whispered in her ear.
“W-would you like to be m-my marefriend?” Minra asked.
Fluttershy simply just gave him a peck on his cheek. Later Minra brought Fluttershy to her cottage where before Minra went home he hugged her and spoke the same words that she had said to him. After arriving home Twilight greeted him and asked.
“So...how was your date?”
However judging by the expression on his face Twilight had gotten her answer.
The Not so Averge Life of a Once Human Now Pony Named Minra
Chapter Six
“Morning everycreature, we have a new student joining our class, her name is Cherry Blossom, you may now enter Cherry Blossom.” Minra said as a cherry blossom pink Kirin filly walked into the classroom, she has magenta scales, a magenta line and magenta hooves, her horn looked like that of a branch, her mane and tail were that of a lion being strawberry red in coloration with silver eyes.
"H-hello my name is Cherry Blossom, it’s a pleasure to meet you.” Cherry Blossom said as she lowered her head.
“Why don’t you tell us about yourself.” Minra suggested.
“Um okay well I’m a Kirin, I like to draw, I come from the Kirin village in The Peaks of Peril on the outskirts of Equestria, despite what you might think my favorite fruit is actually apples and I was sent by Rain Shine to learn about friendship because I was born during the Silence Time so I’ve never really learned how to be sociable or how to make friends.” Cherry Blossom said shyly.
“There’s an open seat by Ocellus, you can sit there.” Minra said pointing to the empty seat.
“Oh okay.” Cherry Blossom said as she walked to the open seat.
Class went on as usual when the bell rung singling that it was time for lunch, Cherry Blossom sat in the courtyard drawing some birds and flowers when Ocellus walked up to her and asked if she can sit with her.
“I-I don’t mind.” The timid kirin said as she continued to draw.
“My name’s Ocellus and as you can probably guess I’m a changeling, but can you tell me about the Silence Time?” Ocellus asked.
“Okay well the Silence Time was a period of time where kirin chose to go into the Stream of Silence which took away our emotions and ability to speak, because two kirin got in an argument that soon spread to the rest of the kirin where everyone ignited in anger and burnt the village down so in order to prevent this from happening again Rain Shine ordered us to go through the Stream of Silence.” Cherry Blossom explained.
“That's actually pretty interesting.” Ocellus said.
“What about you, what can you tell me about changelings?” Cherry Blossom asked.
“Well we weren’t always different colors or good in fact, because our old leader, Queen Chrysalis was evil and wanted to eat all the love in Equestria, she tried doing this twice by impersonating Princess Cadence and crashing her wedding in Canterlot until we were defeated, then our second defeat which was when we no longer craved love was when Ms. Starlight Glimmer, Trixie, Discord and our new leader Thorax inflitraded the hive in hopes of saving all the most prominent ponies and that’s when we figured out how to no longer feed on love by sharing the love we already have and when we did that’s when we got different colors.” Ocellus explained.
“Cool and um other being a changeling can you tell me about yourself?”
“Well I like to read, and study…well that’s about it.” Ocellus said as she placed one of her legs behind her head.
“Cool, what’s your favorite genre?” Cherry Blossom asked.
“Well it’s a tie between Sci-Fi, comedy and horror, what about you? What do you like to draw?” Ocellus responded.
“I like to draw nature, animals and fictional characters, sometimes my own, others from media like TV or books.”
“Cool, is it okay if I see some of your drawings?” Ocellus asked.
Cherry Blossom nodded as she proceeded to flip through some pages of her sketch book to a drawing of a banana yellow kitsune with lavender will-o-wisps at the end of each tail and soft baby blue eyes.
“S-see d-do you like her?” Cherry Blossom asked.
“Whoa that’s amazing! What’s her name?” Ocellus asked in amazement.
“I d-don’t have a name for her yet.” Cherry Blossom responded.
“Oh okay well do you want to have lunch with my friends and I?” Ocellus asked.
“S-sure.”
The two students walked to the group where Ocellus’s friends were sitting.
“This is Gallus the griffin, Silverstream the hippogriff, Smolder the dragon, Sandbar the pony, and Yona the yak, everyone this is Cherry Blossom the kirin.” Ocellus said introducing her new friend.
“H-hello my name’s Cherry Blossom, it’s nice meeting you.” The kirin said raising her hoof shyly.
“Yona happy to meet you!” Yona said as she raised a hoof.
“Sup.” Gallus and Smolder said.
“Hiya.” Sandbar said raising a hoof.
“Come sit with us, you can sit next to me.” Silverstream said smiling while patting an open seat next to her.
“Oh okay.” Cherry Blossom said as she sat on the seat.
“What’s that in your bag?” Sandbar asked.
“Oh this is just my sketchbook, you see I like to draw especially if it’s nature, animal or fictional characters.” Cherry Blossom said.
“Yea she’s really good at it, she showed me a drawing of a kitsune and it was beautiful.” Ocellus said.
“I’m not that good at it.” Cherry Blossom said blushing a bit.
The group started chatting the rest of lunch and soon the bell rung and everycreature walked to class to their respective classes. The day went on until it was time for Applejack’s class.
“Now listen hear, Professor Minra, Fluttershy, Zecora, Spike and I are going to be having a camping field-trip to the Everfree forest so we’re gonna need your parent or guardian to sign a permission slip when we get to our camping spot we will meet Zecora there, she’s good with medicine and the native plant life in the forest. However the students that come from out of Equestria are gonna have a teacher with them so they could bring the permission slip while you can say hi to your friends, family or guardian, but don’t worry the trip isn’t gonna be for a couple of weeks while we get supplies.” Applejack explained.
That week everycreature went home to get their slips signed and said hi to their friends, and family. Sooner then they expected the week of the camping trip came and the group that got their slips signed hiked into the Everfree forest where they soon found an open clearing with a zebra in it waiting for them. Zecora is a light stone gray zebra with charcoal black stripes, she wears five golden rings on her front leg and on her neck with gold ring ear piercings, a charcoal black and white mane and tail with bright bluish green eyes and a sun swirl as her cutie mark.
“Glad you can make it Zecora these are the students that’ll be on this camping trip with us, and this is Minra, he’s well the seventh element of harmony.” Applejack said.
“Come now let’s hitch a tent, before the light becomes pitch.” Zecora said.
“Okay, now since there’s nine students and five faculty there will be a tent for every two creature, however we can pick who we want to partner with.” Applejack explained.
Minra and Fluttershy shared a tent, Zecora shared a tent with Spike, Applejack shared a tent with Cherry Blossom, Sandbar shared a tent with Yona, Gallus shared a tent with Ocellus, and Silverstream shared a tent with Smolder. After the tents were set up the group decided to play some games, Fluttershy took them on a nature hike where they met all sorts of creatures such as birds and even a bear. At the end of the day the group told some campfire stories such as the headless mare, laughing Yak and of coarse Bloody Marey while the group ate smores and marshmallows courtesy of Pinkie Pie. It was soon time to sleep so each creature headed to their tents. The next day wasn’t any different except the group decided to explore the Castle of the Two Sisters while being wary of booby traps and critters of various species. After that the group went on a plant scavenger hunt where teach had to draw and document various plants. There was also wood carving, baking, gem and rock collecting and days where each creature could just do what they wanted as long as it was safe. Cherry Blossom found these days to be especially exciting because she could just wander the forest and draw to her heart’s content or at least until she had to change sketchbooks. However there was an incident with some porcupine like creatures called puckwudgies however Minra easily scared them off with a fire blast which had surprised any creature that wasn’t aware of his abilities. Zecora even taught the ponies how to make some herbal remedies that could cure some ailments ant reduce the pane in some injuries.
“Injury or ailment you may have but a herbal remedy will cure you thoroughly.” Zecora said as she made some herbal tea.
On one of the days where the campers could do anything they wanted Cherry Blossom, Ocellus, Silverstream, Smolder, Gallus, Yona and Sandbar decided to explore the castle some more when Ocellus remembered hearing about the legend of the shadow pony that haunts this castle so she decided to trail off from the group and transform into the Pony of Shadows. The group soon realized that Ocellus was missing so they started calling out her name.
“Ocellus, where are you?” Sandbar yelled.
“Yona think legend of shadow pony is true.” Yona said while quivering.
“Please that’s just an old pony’s tale.” Gallus said.
“Yea she’s probably just off somewhere reading.” Smolder responded.
“If that were true then don’t you think she would off told us?” Cherry Blossom asked.
“But what if that legend is true what if the Pony of Shadows had gotten to her and we’re next?” Silverstream said while whimpering.
The six of them turned their head instantly at the sound of a rock being kicked.
“Wh-who’s there?” Gallus called out when a hooded figure walked out of a room.
“It is I the Pony of Shadows!” The cloaked figure called out when a small swirl of blue flame appeared around them revealing it was just Ocellus.
“Relax everypony it’s just me.” Ocellus said.
“Wait you’re The Pony of Shadows?” Gallus asked.
“Well not exactly, you see while we were exploring I remembered the legend that Professor Applejack told us and that's when I got the idea to transform in the Pony of Shadows, I’m sorry if you didn’t like it I thought it would be funny.” Ocellus said.
“Are you kidding me that was amazing.” Gallus said.
“Yea that was really cool, I never could pull anything like off.” Smolder added.
“Yona also think prank was cool, you know by changeling standers.” Yona said nodding her head.
“Best prankster ever.” Sandbar said raising hoof.
Silverstream and Cherry Blossom agreed with the rest of the group. The seven friends laughed as they continued to explore the ruins of the castle. However once night had come the seven knew it was time to head back to the campsite, where it was time for more campfire stories.
“Who want’s to go first?” Gallus asked.
“I’ll go, okay this is one about the wendigos.” Minra started.
“Wait, Aren't they those creatures in that one Hearts Warming story? Sandbar asked.
“This story involves the type of wendigos from where I come from and these don’t freeze ponies.
“Oh really then what type of wendigos are you talking about?” Gallus asked.
“Well these are spirits of cannibalism.”
“C-cannibilism?” The group asked.
“Yes, it all started when three of ponies were hiking up in a snowy forest, when an unexpected snowstorm had hit, the three spotted a cave and rushed inside. Having only planning on hiking for that day the group was under prepared for the sudden storm and soon found themselves with out food but not water for there was snow how ever they only packed trail mix. As the storm raged on through the week the three of them started having thoughts of what it would be like to eat another pony, however they soon dismissed their thoughts when they heard a deep gurgle. The next day one of the ponies woke up to find one of their friends feasting on their other friend who had died. When their cannibalistic friend turned around the other fiend saw that his friend’s eyes were no longer green but an eggshell white with sharp teeth perfect for tearing flesh from bone. In the distance a laughter could be heard...the end.” Minra said when he looked at the group to see them hugging each other in fright.
“Woops sorry I guess I should of toned down the spookiness of the story.” Minra apologized while putting a hoof on the back of his head.
Upon realizing that they where hugging each-other Smolder, Yona and Gallus quickly let go of the still hugging group now made up of Silverstream, Cherry Blossom, Sandbar and Ocellus.
“I-I wasn’t scared!” Smolder said proudly while crossing her arms.
“Me neither.” Gallus said.
“Yona think story wasn’t scary!” Yona said.
Everyone soon calmed down and more stories were told. Soon it was time for sleep once again. The rest of the week went by with nothing really interesting happening and soon enough it was time to head back to the school so all the campers packed their things and trotted back.
“Thanks again Zecora, I’m glad that the puckwudgie incident was the only thing to happen.” Applejack said while waving at the zebra.
“As am I but now it is time we say goodbye.” Zecora said as she trotted of to her house while humming.
Once the group of now thirteen got back to the school they were greeted by Twilight and Rainbow Dash.
“How was the camping trip?” Twilight asked.
“It was awesome, we told campfire stories one of which scared the others except Gallus, Yona and I.” Smolder said.
“Now, now I saw you holding each-other.” Applejack chimed in as Smolder blushed.
“Yea but Ocellus got us good with a prank!” Cherry Blossom said.
“Oh really, how did she prank you?” Rainbow Dash asked with a surprised look on her face.
“Well we were exploring the castle ruins when I remembered the legend of the Pony of Shadows so I transformed into the Pony of shadows and scared them but don’t worry we had a good laugh.” Ocellus responded.
With a defeated look on her face Rainbow dash walked off to wonder how Ocellus could be a better prankster than her the self entitled best prankster in all of Ponyville.
“Is she going to be okay?” Silverstream asked.
“Yea but for now you can rest for the rest of the day and tomorrow you can write letters about your camping trip to me.” Twilight said.
The students nodded and headed back to their rooms where they unpacked everything. When the seven friends met up in the school’s court yard.
“Hey you guys want to go to the ice cream shop?” Sandbar asked.
“Sure.” Smolder said.
“Yona think ice cream is good idea too.”
“Okay by me.” Gallus said.
“Ice cream!” Silverstream shouted excitedly.
“I would like some as well.” Ocellus said.
Cherry Blossom nodded as the seven friends walked to the ice cream shop where they preceded to get ice cream and eat. The seven friends chatted until they finished their ice cream and went elsewhere.
The Not so Averge Life of a Once Human Now Pony Named Minra
Chapter seven
Minra and sunshine woke up one morning only to hear Twilight squealing from her bedroom. Deciding to ask what’s wrong rather then listen to anymore squeals Minra got out of bed and headed to Twilight’s room and knocked on the door.
“Twilight is everything okay, it’s 6:30 in the morning?” Minra asked while still half asleep.
Twilight opened the door and apologized.
“Oh sorry it’s just that it’s the first day of December which means Hearts Warming is gonna be here soon.” Twilight said excitedly.
“Oh if that’s all then I’m going back to sleep.” Minra said yawning as he walked back to is room.
“Okay, I’ll be quieter.” Twilight responded.
Later that day Minra went out to buy presents for Hearts Warming. For Pinkie Pie he bought her a baking cook book, For Rainbow Dash he bought her a Daring Do action figure, For Spike he got him a Topaz dragon statue that took up most of his bits but it was worth it, for Twilight he got her a signed copy of one of Star Swirl’s books, for Fluttershy he got her a picture of all her animal friends, for Applejack he got her some steel toed boots, for Rarity he got her a sewing kit so she can pack all her sewing items for a trip and for Starlight he got her a kite. With the remaining bits Minra had saved he bought a ton of cupcakes for his class before winter break. Buying and wrapping everything was the easy part, hiding the presents from his friends was the hard part, especially since tree of them could use magic, one of them had a pet bunny that could fit anywhere and a two feet tall dragon. One day Twilight asked Minra if he wanted to have a snowball fight with the others.
“Sure” Minra responded as the two of them walked outside to see Rainbow Dash, Pinkie Pie shooting snowballs at Spike and Applejack.
“Come on y'all we’re getting slaughtered here.” Applejack said while her and Spike hid behind while being shot at with snowballs.
“Hey no fair now you got four members on your team while we only have two.” Rainbow said trying to protest.
“Says the pony who can throw snowballs almost as fast as Pinkie Pie.” Spike added.
“He does have a good point Dashy.” Pinkie Pie said.
“Fine but no magic!” Rainbow said annoyed.
“Deal, come on Minra.” Twilight said as the two of the ran to Spike and Applejack’s side.
Snow balls pelted the wall that the four pony team had made to protect them from Pinkie Pie’s constant pelting of the frozen balls of water.
“Just give it a rest, no matter how many ponies you get on your team we’ll win.” Rainbow Dash said as Minra prepared a snowball and chucked it a distracted Rainbow Dash.
“Aghh, you’re gonna pay for that!” Rainbow shouted after being hit by the snowball.
Spike rolled out of the wall with snowball hand in hand ready to hit Pinkie Pie and Rainbow Dash but failed to when Pinkie Pie’s rein of snowballs focused on spike and left him in covered in snow that some how formed the shape of his body.
“Applejack I need you to buck some snow.” Twilight told Applejack.
“Got it.” The orange mare replied as she raised her hind legs and kicked the snow wall so hard tat snow was sent flying and had it both Rainbow Dash and Pinkie Pie.
“Gahh, Dashy look I’m a Pinkie-cicle.” Pinkie Pie giggled.
The two ponies shook the snow off of them when Minra and Twilight jumped from the wall and threw snowballs at the two. After the novelty had stopped the ponies decided to make snow-stallions with one of which was in the shape of a dragon. The five ponies soon realized that spike was missing.
“Spike where are you?” Twilight asked.
With a stutter in his voice Spike responded with “I-I’m r-right h-here.” the baby dragon called from the dragon shaped snow-stallion.
“Oops sorry Spike, we should probably get you inside.” Twilight said as she picked up the shriving baby dragon.
“Speaking of which, Minra how come you’re not wearing anything to keep you warm?” Pinkie Pie asked.
“Oh it’s because I’m not cold.” Minra responded.
“Not cold, but it’s like twenty-three degrees out here and even with my winter coat I still have to wear a scarf.” The blue pegasis said.
“I’m just not cold.” Minra shrugged.
“Also where’s your winter coat?” Pinkie Pie asked.
Minra looked down at his chest realizing he had no winter coat. Minra simply said “Huh I guess I don’t need it.”
“What’s going on?” Twilight asked as she walked out of the castle.
“Minra has no winter coat.” Rainbow Dash said.
“Oh really, huh and you’re not cold?” Twilight asked Minra.
“Nope not in the slightest.”
“Minra do you mind if I place wing on your chest?” Twilight asked.
“Uh okay?” Minra said in confusion as Twilight placed one of her wings.
Twilight’s face grew from that of skepticism to that of shock.
“Uh Twilight is everything okay?” Applejack asked.
“Yea it’s just that he doesn’t feel cold in fact he’s far from it.” Twilight said in amazement.
“Let me see.” Rainbow Dash said skeptically and when see put a hoof to him she realized that Twilight was right.
“What do you think is causing this?” Twilight asked Minra.
“I think it might have to do with my powers.” Minra explained.
“Yea that’s probably it, also you wanna help Spike, Starlight and I to help out with decorating the castle?” Twilight asked.
The four ponies headed inside to see Spike albeit in a blanket and scarf helping Starlight with decorating the walls.
“Hey you ponies how you doing?” Starlight asked.
“Good except we found out that Minra’s powers doesn’t allow him to be cold.” Applejack said.
“That doesn’t surprise me.” Starlight said.
“Applejack, Minra can you set up the Hearts Warming tree?” Spike asked.
“Leave it to us.” The two of them said as Minra transformed into his dragon form and picked up the tree and held it in place while Applejack screwed the bolts to keep the tree in the base.
“There that ought to do it.” Applejack said as she wiped from sweat off her forehead.
Minra flew down and transformed back to his earth pony form.
The time flew by as the group was decorating Twilight’s castle. When the group was finished the halls and walls were decorated with Hearts Warming items, the two magic ponies used their magic to decorate the tree and rainbow dash flew up and put the topper on the tree. Minra went to Fluttershy’s for the day and while it was a particularly heavy snow day there was still ponies out playing out in the snow, most of them fillies and colts but a few mares and stallions one of which was a pink earth pony that was playing outside a closed Sugarcube Corner. He instantly knew who the pony was but rather then say hi Minra just trotted on to Fluttershy’s while receiving looks from ponies who were confused at the fact that he was out in the snow with no winter clothes or winter coat. Minra soon reached Fluttershy’s cottage and knocked on the door. While he waited outside were any normal pony would surely become a ponycicle if they didn’t have their winter coats and some protection, however when he had turned around he saw that there were some small frozen puddles where his tracks had been that’s when he realized how hot his body temperature is. Soon a yellow pegasis opened the door.
“Oh hey Minra.” Fluttershy said with a sneeze.
“Fluttershy are you okay?” Minra asked concerned.
“Y-yea I just have a cold.” Fluttershy’s responded.
“Oh okay well may I come in?” Minra asked.
“O-of course.” Fluttershy said while almost passing out when Minra caught her.
“W-wow y-you’re r-really warm.” Fluttershy said blushing as she leaned on Minra’s shoulder.
“I know but you should get the rest.” Minra said as he helped her up to her room and once in bed Fluttershy asked him something.
“Minra, where’s your winter coat and winter clothes?” Fluttershy asked.
“I don’t need it but you should get some rest, otherwise you won’t get any better but don’t worry I’ll be here to make sure you get some rest.” Minra said as he kissed Fluttershy's nose.
“Thank you, Minra.” Fluttershy said while blushing.
“No problem.” Minra said while tucking in the sick pegasis.
“U-um Minra can you read me a story?” Fluttershy asked.
“Sure.” Minra said giving a soft smile.
Minra read a story called the soft bunny and then noticed that Fluttershy is asleep with a small smile on her. How cute Minra thought as he put the book back and walked around her house making sure all her animals are okay, when he heard a knock on her door.
“Who is it?” Minra asked as he opened her door.
“Hey Fluttersh- oh hey Minra where’s Fluttershy?” Rarity asked.
“She has a cold so I’m taking care of her animals while she is getting some rest.” Minra explained.
“Oh okay well when she feels better tell her that I want to talk to her.” Rarity said as she walked away waving a hoof.
“Will do.” Minra said.
Minra made sure that Fluttershy’s pets were fed and decided it would be for the best if he slept the night at Fluttershy’s just in case she needed anything. However the next morning she felt a lot better and her cold was gone, and when she got downstairs she saw Minra sleeping on her couch.
“Thanks Minra.” Fluttershy said while kissing his forehead when he woke up to find her kissing him, Fluttershy blushed and said.
“Th-thanks for taking care of me and my animals.”
“No problem oh and Rarity came by while you were asleep and asked me to tell you that she wanted to talk to you.” Minra said smiling.
“Oh okay thanks Minra.” Fluttershy said smiling.
Later Minra trotted home to see Twilight sitting in her chair reading.
“Hiya Twilight.” Minra said waving a hoof.
“Hey Minra I see you spent the night at Fluttershy’s house.” Twilight responded.
“Well I kind of had to because she had a cold so I took care of her and her animals however she’s feeling much better now.” Minra replied.
“That’s great, speaking of which what are your plans for your students?” Twilight asked.
“Oh well I was gonna buy some winter and Hearts Warming themed cupcakes and serve them the day before winter break.” Minra responded.
“That’s a great idea.” Twilight said.
“So have you sent a letter to Princess Celestia about me not having a winter coat and me having a ridiculously high body temperature?” Minra asked.
“Oh no I haven’t but I would say it’s ridiculously high.” Twilight responded.
“I would because while I was waiting for Fluttershy to open the door yesterday I glanced behind me and saw that there was frozen puddles where my tracks had been.” Minra said, Twilight’s eyes widened in shock.
“I didn’t know you were that warm.” Twilight responded.
“Yea it was a shock to me as well.” Minra said.
“Spike!” Twilight shouted.
“Yes Twilight.” Spike said.
“Take a letter, Dear Princess Celestia we have recently discovered that Minra’s abilities now include a really high body temperature that allows him to be out in the snow with out a winter coat or winter clothes.” Twilight said as Spike finished the letter and sent it to Princess Celestia. A letter came back via Spike’s mouth, the letter said
Dear Princess Twilight Sparkle,
Thank you for informing about more discoveries of Minra’s abilities. This is a surprise to me as much as I amuse it is to the rest of you. However take this time to enjoy the holidays.
Lots of Love.
Twilight read from the letter.
The next day was the last day before Winter Break and Minra had brought the cupcakes in and put them on a counter before class started along with some paper plates and paper cups. As the students walked into the class room their expressions grew to that of amazement upon seeing the newly decorated classroom with the aroma of fresh cupcakes and kid-friendly apple cider with a movie that was ready to be played. All the students gasped in unison and ran to the cupcakes but before they could grab any Sunshine ran in between the two.
“Now now, not so fast everycreature, first pass in your homework, then line up and take at the most one of each cupcake flavor or if you only want one that’s fine too and grab a cup and get some kid-friendly apple cider and once you do and once you’ve done all that I’ll start the movie also you can sit anywhere you want.” Minra said as Sunshine returned to her bed as all the students lined up to give Minra their homework and head to the mountain of cupcakes and Cider.
The day soon went by and soon it was the week before everyone went home for the holiday, meanwhile at Twilight’s castle a party was being held for all of Ponyville before everypony went home.
“M-Minra, can I ask you something?” Fluttershy asked.
“Sure.” Minra said as he walked with Fluttershy.
“Um I’m going to be with my parents for Hearts Warming, and I was thinking that maybe I could um...introduce you to my parents?” Fluttershy asked.
“Su-sure.” Minra responded in shock.
“Th-thank you, I’ll be going on Wednesday.” Fluttershy said as she gave Minra a kiss on his cheek.
The party went on when Minra and Fluttershy realized that the two of them were under some mistletoe. The two ponies blushed as they leaned in to kiss one-another, their soft lips touched as they stood their for a while though to them it felt like only a second had passed and when the two stopped they giggled until they notice that every pony was looking at them and for quite a while there was silence until Pinkie Pie broke the ice by shouting that this was no longer just a Hearts Warming party but a new couple party.
“Um Pinkie Pie, we’ve been dating since November.” Fluttershy said blushing.
“Whaaa, you mean that you’ve been dating since November and now just decided to open up about your relation ship?” Pinkie Pie shouted in shock.
“W-well yea we thought that the Heart’s Warming party would be the best time to tell everypony.” Minra said while still bright red.
“I hope your not mad.” Fluttershy said.
“Mad? Puh-lease this just makes this party even more special now lets party!” Pinkie shouted as everypony started to dance.
A couple days later Fluttershy and Minra met up at the air balloon port where Minra loaded his and Fluttershy’s bags into the balloon and helped her in and soon after they were off flying in the sky until they landed at the air balloon port in Clouds Dale where they were greeted but three pegasi one of which was a teel colored stallion with teel eyes, a light pink mane and tail with a light pink mustache, a sand blue sweater and three clouds for his cutie mark, across from him was a light yellow mare, with a dark red mane and tail with teel box glasses, golden necklace, magenta eyes and some flowers as her cutie mark. In between the two pegasi was a tall teel colored stallion pegasis with light a light yellow mane and tail with magenta eyes, stubble and a feather as his cutie mark.
“Fluttershy, we missed you.” The three pegasi shouted as they ran to hug Fluttershy.
“I missed you to and before I forget this is my stallionfriend Minra, Minra this is my brother Zephyr Breeze, my mother and my father.” Fluttershy said as she introduce them to each other.
“Nice to meet you Minra, we’re so glad that our little Fluttershy has finally found somepony.” Fluttershy’s parents said causing Fluttershy to become embarrassed.
“Any way we’ll chat later but for now we should get you settled in.” Mrs. Shy said.
The five ponies walked to Mr and Mrs. Shy’s house where upon arriving Mr. Shy took their bags up to the room where Fluttershy and Minra would be staying.
“Would you like a seat?” Mrs. Shy asked.
“Sure.” Minra said as he sat on the couch with Fluttershy sitting next to him.
“So Minra tell us about your self?” Mr. Shy asked as he sat next to his wife.
“Oh well, I um…I like to draw, and read.” Minra said rather disappointed that he wasn’t more interesting.
“Oh is that all?” Mr. Shy asked.
“Oh no there’s more, he has powers.” Fluttershy said.
“Oh really like what?” Zephyr asked.
“Well I may or may not have the ability to transform into a dragon alicorn highbrid.” Minra said.
“Really, can you show us?” Mrs. Shy asked.
“Um sure.” Minra said as he stood up and transformed into is dragon form the three ponies were amazed at the sight that beheld them and gave out a gasp in unison.
“That’s not just it, he’s also the seventh element of harmony.” Fluttershy said with sparkles in her eyes Minra simply blushed as he reverted back to his Earth Pony form.
The five ponies chatted until it was time for bed where upon entering there room Fluttershy asked what Minra thought of her family.
“They’re pretty nice.” Minra responded as he climbed into bed with his marefriend and cuddled until they were fast asleep.
The days flew by as Fluttershy’s parents showed Minra around Cloudsdale until it was Hearts Warming Eve where Minra went to set Fluttershy’s present under the tree except when he went to do so he bumped into Fluttershy who was placing several presents under the tree. The both of them giggled as they went to bed but sometime during the night Minra has a nightmare about the life he had before being sent to Equestria except this time he’s a pony but his parents are still their human selves and mock him and whip him because as they call him, a stupid animal. Fluttershy woke up to Minra crying ans saying I’m sorry.
“Minra, Minra wake up it’s just a nightmare.” Fluttershy said as she shook Minra awake.
“Fluttershy?” Minra said as he hugged her tightly.
“Shh it’s okay I’m here, I’m here now go back to sleep and don’t worry I’ll be here to protect you from those nasty nightmares.” Fluttershy said snuggling up to Minra.
“Thank you, love you.” Minra said as he kissed her forehead.
“I love you to Minra.” Fluttershy responded as the two soon fell back to sleep. The next morning Zephyr, Mr and Mrs. Shy were sitting at the table while Mr. Shy was making waffles.
“Good morning Mom, Dad, Zephyr, what time is it?” Fluttershy asked giving off a small yawn.
“It’s almost nine thirty.” Mrs. Shy said.
Mr. Shy finished making the waffles and severed them, they were chocolate chip waffles with blueberries, syrup and whip cream, they were as fluffy as a cloud. When Mr. Shy was about to ask Minra how the waffles were until he saw his face now having the answer, he simply smiled. The five ponies ate their breakfast then went to the living room where Mr and Mrs. Shy handed out presents. Once the presents were handed out the five ponies ripped the rapping of their presents. Fluttershy opened Minra’s present first and upon seeing the framed picture of all her animal friends she squealed and kissed Minra.
“Open your present to.” Fluttershy said as she pouted.
Minra opened the present to see a hoodie that was gray in coloration, with green sleeves and hood with shooting star on the chest.
“D-do you like it?” Fluttershy asked.
“I love it.” Minra said as he hugged the yellow pegasis.
The five ponies spent the day opening presents and doing stuff such as watching movies, and playing board games. The days soon past by as it was time to go home, when Minra and Fluttershy got in the air balloon, Fluttershy's family waved at the two of them until as they floated away.
“So Minra what did you get for Hearts Warming?” Fluttershy asked.
“Well only the best present ever.” Minra responded.
“L-like what?” Fluttershy asked.
“Getting to spend time with you and your family.” Minra said as he kissed Fluttershy, she blushed.
“W-well what else did you get?” Fluttershy asked.
“Well aside from your hoodie, I got a Daring Do book from Rainbow Dash, a cowboy hat from Applejack, a comic book from Spike, Some markers from Starlight, a plush cupcake from Pinkie Pie, an adjustable mini manikin from Rarity, and a beginners guide to magic from Twilight. What about you?” Minra asked.
“Well I got the lovely photo of all my animal friends that you gave me, a bunny onesie from Pinkie Pie, a book of animals from Twilight, a bird shaped kite from Starlight, a giraffe plush from Spike, a basket for carrying small critters from Rarity, a bird bath from Rainbow Dash, a dog brush from Zephyr, and some scarves from Mom and Dad.” Fluttershy responded. The two ponies chatted and enjoyed the view while they waited to go home.
The Not so Averge Life of a Once Human Now Pony Named Minra
Chapter Eight
It was New Years Eve a couple minutes before Midnight and rather then stay up Minra and Fluttershy decided it was best to sleep. The two ponies and a wolf hybrid were fast asleep until the sound of glass being broken had jolted the three awake, when they turned to see what had caused the sound Sunshine instantly growled at the site of a skeletal, zombie looking pony with the tench of decay, it had ice blue eyes that were filled with hate, and some bones and flesh showing, there was no fur, the skin was pale blue, and there was clouds of frost emitting from it’s nostrils and mouth, there was some kind of aura emitting from the eyes. The creature let out a shriek as it leaped at the three with a quick motion Minra transformed and shot a fireball at the creature causing steam to erupt and when it cleared there was just some bones where the creature stood.
“Are you alright?” Twilight asked as she burst into the room with a scared Starlight behind her, upon noticing the some lingering steam, the putrid odor that only death has, the bones and Minra in his dragon pony form, Twilight soon asked what happened.
“Well we were asleep when we heard a crash and we looked there was a zombie looking pony that smelled like death, with blue eyes that had some sort of aura emitting from them and cold breathes coming from the thing’s nose and mouth then it shrieked and lunged at us and that’s when Minra shot a fireball at it that caused it to break into pieces and creating steam.” The scared yellow pegasis explained.
“Di-did you say zombie looking with blue eyes, stench of decay and cold breathes?” Twilight asked clearly scared.
“Yea why did you read about them?” Fluttershy asked.
“Y-yea that thing is a Draugr, and when there’s one, there’s usually more coming.” Twilight said as the group heard growls, shrieks, roars and the sound of dozens of hooves running which in turn woke up Spike.
Everypony rushed outside to Ponyville’s center to see some sort of fog that was moving closer to Ponyville, however they knew instantly that fog were actually Draugr. Some pegasi Draugr flew ahead from the rest and headed straight to Ponyville.
“Starlight, sound the Ponyville alarm, Minra try and keep the fliers busy, Spike send a letter to Princess Celestia and Princess Luna saying that an army of Draugr is heading straight for Ponyville, and in the meantime I’ll create a shield to protect Ponyville.” Twilight said.
“Fluttershy don’t worry everything will be alright.” Minra said as everypony went to do the things that they were told.
Minra flew to the Draugr pegasi and proceeded to do an aerial battle with them, as the Ponyville emergency alarm sounded and magic shield was set up shield of magic that would only provide a temporary means of protection but was soon destroyed when some Draugr unicorns shot some sort of ice magic bolts at it. More magic bolts rain down and created spikes of ice in Ponyville. Applejack, Pinkie Pie, Rarity, and Rainbow Dash rushed over to a surprised Twilight and asked what was wrong.
“Ponyville is under attack by Draugr.” Twilight said.
“I’m sorry darling but what is a Drag-are?” Rarity asked.
“They’re ice zombie ponies and it’s pronounced Draw-gur.” Spike said after sending the letter when some pegasi Draugr flew into the town square but were soon engulfed in flames by Minra as he flew by telling the group that there’s no end to them.
Some Ice bolts had hit Sugarcube Corner, Twilight’s castle and the park however there was a large sound coming from the direction of where the army is heading. The nine ponies looked in the direction where the sound was coming from and much to their fright there were several large Draugr with others growing in size as well.
“Wait they can actually do that?” Rainbow Dash asked surprised.
“Yea and that’s not all they’re really strong.” Twilight said.
The stomping of the giant Draugr hooves felt like an earthquake, however one of the large Draugr unicorns shot a giant blast of ice at the group but the nine jumped out of the way of the large ice bolt that once hit the ground large ice spikes jolted out barely missing the eight ponies and the baby dragon.
“What are we going to do now?” Spike asked.
Just then there was a shout from Princess Luna who was using her Royal Canterlot voice as an army of Royal guards followed.
“Citizens of Ponyville you are under attack I repeat you are under attack evacuate immediately, there’s some zeppelins on the side of town opposite of Princess Twilight’s castle!” Princess Luna shouted.
“Applejack, Rainbow Dash help with the evacuations.” Twilight said as the two Ponies ran and flew to key points.
“Minra, join the front lines and make sure that no fliers attempt to breach the front lines, Fluttershy help find any pets that were abandoned, Pinkie help Fluttershy, Starlight, Spike and I will act as defense.” Twilight said.” Twilight said.
Soon the army that came from Canterlot stood in between Ponyville and the Draugr army with Minra joining the army. Among the Canterlot army were pegasi, unicorns, earth ponies, bat ponies, Princess Celestia, Princess Luna and Minra. Minra noticed that the two Princesses weren’t in their normal attire but in some battle Armour. One of which was pearl gold and lavender while the other was jet black.
“Minra what are you doing here?” Princess Celestia asked.
“Twilight sent me to help out seeing that I can breath fire.” Minra responded.
Princess Celestia nodded as she raised a hoof singling to her army to charge. Minra flew ahead of the now advancing army breathing blue fire as the pegasi rained magic fire grenades. The larger Draugr swatted at some of the pegasi sending them flying other Draugr shot a barrage of ice bolts at the Equestrian army but where quickly blocked by Twilight and Starlight. One of the huge Draugr pegasi knocked Minra away with a quick slap of it’s wing sending him hurdling straight to the ground but when he got up he saw the giant Draugr pegasis heading to the evacuation zeppelins.
“Where do you think you’re going!” Minra said as he grabbed the Draugr by the tail and throwing it away from Ponyville much to the Princesses surprise. Then he shot a rather large ball of flame at the now grounded Draugr which caused a cloud of steam to rise leaving some large bones.
The Equestrian army soon realized that they were out numbered seventy to one. Realizing that they had no choice the Equestrian Army had to retreat, the remaining unicorns and earth ponies along with the pegasi and the two Princesses boarded the remaining zeppelin while Minra made a wall of flame and soon flew away with the others, however some Draugr pegasi flew after them but Minra spotted this and shot fireballs at the pegasi. The zeppelin soon caught up with the others and soon landed in Canterlot.
“Princess Celestia what are we gonna do now?” Minra asked the white alicorn.
“Well we need to think of a plan, contact our allies, and monitor the Draugr’s advancement.” Princess Celestia responded.
“Sisters how did it go?” Prince Nebula asked as he went to greet them.
“Terrible, we were outnumbered seventy to one and we just barely made it out with a few casualties.” Princess Celestia said solemnly with her and her sister’s ears down.
“Wh-what about the civilian evacuations?” Prince Nebula asked.
“We were able to get all thy civilians out of harms way or at least for the most part.” Princess Luna interjected.
“Well that’s a good thing.” Prince Nebula said.
“Indeed but for now we should send the evacuees to the shelters for those who were evacuated, have them here in Canterlot, and the Crystal Empire.” Princess Celestia said telling some of her guards.
“As for the nine of you, you may stay in the castle with us until we’ve took back Ponyville.” Princess Celestia said.
“Wait Ponyville’s gone?” Prince Nebula said shocked.
“No but we had to leave it behind.” Minra chimed in.
“Minra how are you doing, well aside from what just happened.” Prince Nebula asked.
“Well I’m dating Fluttershy, and well...that’s about it.” Minra responded.
“Come on we’ll get you settled in.” Princess Luna said to the eight ponies and spike.
“Ponies of Ponyville, we may have evacuated and I know all seems lost but do not fret because we will defeat the Draugr and take back Ponyville but for now there’s evacuation centers in the Crystal Empire and here in Canterlot.” Princess Celestia said.
“What are we doing here, we should be out there fighting the Dragears.” Rainbow Dash said while frustrated.
“You heard her sugarcube, we were out numbered and even if we stayed we could of lost more.” Applejack said meanwhile Minra and Fluttershy hugged in relief that each other were okay.
“Principal Twilight what are we gonna do?” Sandbar asked Twilight.
“Well I think it would be best to send you home for now until we’ve gotten everything under control.” Twilight said.
“Spike, Can I ask something of you?” Princess Celestia asked.
“Sure thing, what is it?” Spike asked.
“I need you to send letters to our allies, can I entrust you with this task?” Princess Celestia asked.
Spike simply saluted as he walked with Celestia as she wrote letter after letter and Spike sent them to the Hippogriffs, Dragons, Changlings, Griffons, and the Yaks. Later the leaders of Equestria’s allies met with Prince Nebula.
“Hello My name is Prince Nebula, I’m Princess Luna and Princess Celestia’s younger brother and if you would follow me, I will take you to meet Princess Celestia.” Prince Nebula said as he introduced himself.
There was an old Griffon, that was mostly bald on his head that was a fez, he had a scar over one of his eyes his name is Grandpa Gruff. The Hippogriff was none other than Queen Novo who was pink and coloration with a crown that had blue feathers. The yak is Price Rutherford who was brownish orange with huge horns and some gold clothing. The next creature was the new Changling leader, Thorax who was lime green, purple eyed and had orange antlers with transparent lavender wings. The final creature was a blue dragon who had ram horns, reddish orange eyes and blue wings named Ember. Following their leaders were Ocellus, Gallus, Silverstream, Smolder, and Yona. The eleven creatures headed their way to Princess Celestia’s castle with a royal guard escort. The group soon reached the castle where they were led into the throne room.
“Hello, thank you for coming here however I wish it was for a better reason.” Princess Celestia said.
“Do you mind telling us why you asked us here?” Grandpa Gruff asked while coughing.
“Well Ponyville was attacked by a group of undead Ponies called Draugr who will stop at nothing to cover the world in ice and snow, there was so many that we had to retreat and we would be honored if you would help us defeat the Draugr?” Princess Celestia asked.
“Yaks help pony friends!” Prince Rutherford said.
“We would be honored to help.” Thorax said.
“As are we” Queen Novo responded bowing her head.
“Sure.” Ember said.
“What’s in it for us Griffons?” Grandpa Gruff asked.
“We’ll give you bits and have a feast?” Princess Celestia said.
Grumbling Grandpa Gruff agreed to have the griffons help.
“So what’s the plan?” Thorax asked.
“Well judging by the direction of where the Draugr are heading we should create a wall of fire for the earth pony Draugr, then drop boulders on them and attack from the sky and sea, along with some infiltrates, then finally charge at them full force.” Celestia said.
“Plan good by Yak standards.” Prince Rutherford exclaimed.
“I like it, so when will we be dispatched?” Ember asked.
“Tomorrow, we will have the dragons create a large wall of flame, the Griffons will drop the boulders, The Hippogriffs will be the surprise attack, the Changlings will infiltrate the Draugr and take them out one by one, and finally all of us will charge in and attack but for now get some rest tomorrow is a big day, oh and before I forget this is Minra, he’ll be leading the dragons along with Spike, Ember, and Smolder.” Princess Celestia said.
“But he’s just an earth pony.” Ember said confused.
“That may appear that way but trust me he’s much much more, now Minra if you may?” Princess Celestia asked.
Minra nodded as he transformed into his dragon pony form. The group was amazed and confused at the same time but decided not to question it. The next day the Changlings transformed into Draugr and proceeded to take them out one by one, ahead of the Draugr army, the Dragons created a wall of flame that spread for a long long line, the Hippogriffs who were now sea ponies in the water waited, some zeppelins flew over head with coal, and boulders that the Griffons were ready to push. Meanwhile the rest were hiding in the shrubbery and clouds ready to charge. When the Draugr were in sight they stopped their charge immediately due to the wall of flame they turned to try and go another direction when they they were stopped by the Changlings and that's when the signal came and a bombardment of boulders fell and landed on several of the Draugr dramatically reducing the already reduced numbers. The Draugr that were closest to the water were immediately attacked by the Hippogriffs and then all the troops charged with the Yaks and Dragons being in ahead. The Draugr that grew in size were set ablaze by Minra and the dragons, the Changlings did what they do best and transformed into several of the creatures and attacked some of which were Hydras, Chimeras, Manticores, and a Kracken. The Yaks rammed some of the Draugr into the wall of flame. Meanwhile the Griffons, and Hippogriffs grabbed some Draugr and flung them into the air where they were burnt my the dragons. However they soon found themselves outnumbered when more Draugr had shown up out of nowhere, causing the numbers to be higher in Draugr then the others. One particular blast of Ice magic had hit Minra and froze him, however it didn’t last long because he soon burst out into a much larger, more dragon looking form much to the creature's delight but it wasn’t enough. The allied creatures were now being over run when a large boulder came hurdling to the Draugr army and as it did it split into several spikes that caught fire and pierced some Draugr. When the creatures turned to see where the boulder came from, they happened upon six ponies, one was a medium stone gray unicorn stallion who had a large white beard and tail, he wore a magician’s hat and cape that had several stars and moons on them, next to him was a tall looking earth pony stallion who was azure blue in coloration, with an orange beard, mane and tail, he wore some rustic looking clothing with three gray triangles as his cutie mark and carried a shovel with him. Next to him was a yellow stallion pegasis that was dressed in some sort of spartan armor, the next pony was a peach colored pegasis mare dressed in Egyptian style clothing, next to her was a light lavender unicorn mare who has a curved horn, is rather old looking and has a flowing mane and tail. The final pony was a dark azure earth pony stallion who wore some tribal clothing. Along with them were a bunch of Bison behind them and some Crystal Ponies along with Shining Armour, Princess Cadence, Princess Celestia, Princess Luna, Twilight, a weird looking creature that looked like some sort of chimera, and Prince Nebula. The group charged to the Draugr as the creatures who were fighting them proceeded to attack as well with a new found energy. Even though the battle was long the allied creatures were winning and slowly the Draugr were eventually defeated. Once the battle was finished every creature cheered. Later that day a huge feast was held in the royal dinning hall of Canterlot Castle, there there was all sorts of food some were gems, others were salads, cake and such.
“I would like to thank each and everyone of you for helping us to defeat the Draugr, we surely wouldn’t be able to do it without you.” Princess Celestia said as she proposed a toast.
The next day everycreature went home including Minra and his friends where they went to see the damage that Ponyville took and much to their surprise much of it was fine, asides from some ice spikes that were the result of the first battle and were soon melted by Minra and once that was done and any damages fixed the residents of Ponyville were able to head home.
“Hey Twilight there’s something I been wondering since we defeated the Draugr.” Minra said.
“And what would that be?” Twilight asked.
“Well Draugr usually don’t form armies and attack random towns unless somepony defiled their grave or they were being controlled.” Minra said.
“Now that you mention it that does seem pretty odd that Draugr would form an army and attack, I’ll do some research.” Twilight replied.
“Okay, I’ll go and see if Fluttershy needs any help with the animals.” Minra said as he trotted off.
“Hey Fluttershy, need any help?” Minra asked Fluttershy.
“Oh hey Minra, I could use some help, some of the animals are still on edge after all that has happened and fled, could help me find them you know if you want?” Fluttershy asked. Minra nodded as he asked what animals were missing.
“Oh some goats and a couple of bunnies.” Fluttershy responded.
Soon Minra and Fluttershy found all of the missing animals and brought them back to their respective homes.
“Oh Minra I’m sorry I haven't introduced you two yet but this is Discord, the lord of chaos.” Fluttershy said as she motioned to the chimera looking creature that had the head of a goat the body of a hawk snake hybrid, an arm of a lion, and hawk, the leg of a dragon, the leg of a deer with a dragon tail, a bat wing and a bird wing an antler, some sort of twisted horn, a singular fang, and yellow and red eyes.
“Minra was it? it’s a pleasure to meet you, Fluttershy has told me all about you when we have our tea parties.” Discord said raising a hand only for it to turn into a tea set.
“It’s nice to meet you to.” Minra said holding out a hoof.
“Indeed it is, want a flying cupcake.?” Discord asked.
“Heck yea!” Minra said as Discord snapped some fingers causing a cupcake with wings to appear.
“I’m glad you two are becoming such friends but if you excuse me I have to feed my animal friends.” Fluttershy said trotting off.
“Now if you break that cinnamon roll’s heart I’ll break you, do you understand me!” Discord told Minra sternly. Minra simply nodded.
“Good.” Discord said happily.
The Not so Averge Life of a Once Human Now Pony Named Minra
Chapter Nine
It was a quiet afternoon, Minra was alone in his room while Twilight, Fluttershy, Rainbow Dash, Pinkie Pie, Applejack, Rarity and Starlight were off visiting the Crystal Empire, meanwhile Minra was just laying his bed bored completely out of his mind.
“Sunshine, I’m so bored right now that I think I broke the record for the most bored pony in all of Equestria.” Minra told his dog that was fast asleep. There was a knock from his door.
“Hey Minra?” Spike asked.
“What is it?” Minra said getting out of his bed and opening his door.
“Well Discord, Big Mac and I were gonna play Ogres and Oubliettes, do you wanna join us?” Spike asked.
“Sure but I have one question what’s Ogres and Oubliettes?” Minra asked.
“Come on I’ll tell you on the way to the table room.” Spike said.
Spike explained the premise of the game as they headed to the table room.
“And that’s how it works, so you wanna join?” Spike explained.
“Of coarse!” Minra said excitedly.
“Good.” Spike said as the two entered the table room.
“Heya guys sorry for keeping you waiting, I hope you don’t mind if Minra plays with us?” Spike asked.
“Nope.” Big Macintosh said, he was a red stallion who had freckles, a light orange mane and tail green eyes and a sliced apple for his cutie mark Big Mac also wears a horse collar.
“Not a problem, so what’s your class?” Discord asked.
“My class is ranger.” Minra said.
“Okay, what else like what’s your name? Spike asked.
“Oh it’s Raku.” Minra replied.
“Okay, and what’s your companion?” Spike asked.
“It’s a hawk named Stein.” Minra said.
“Okay and one more thing Discord here likes to well make the games realistic.” Spike said.
“Eeyup.” Big Mac replied.
“Realistic how?” Minra asked a bit scared.
“You’ll see soon enough.” Spike said as he motioned to Discord while Minra gave out a small but still noticeable gulp.
With a snap of his fingers the interior of the castle changed to the world of Ogres and Oubliettes, with Minra in a cloak and camouflage clothing with a hawk next to him, Discord was in some sort of archer outfit that looks fairly similar to particular movie elf, Big Mac is in some armor with a horned helmet and a sword and shield, Spike was in some sort of wizard outfit with a scepter of some kind. Minra had a shocked look on his face and was freaking out a bit.
“Relax Minra, this is just a game you won’t actually get hurt.” Spike said.
“Eeyup.” Big Mac chimed in.
“Oh okay so what now?” Minra asked.
“Well our quest is to save a Princess named Princess Shmarity from the evil Squizard and his skeletal army.” Spike explained.
“Yea yea now can we get on with it?” Discord said.
“Okay after you.” Minra said.
The group traveled for a bit when they were ambushed by a group of skeletal ponies.
“Wait where’s Minra?” Spike asked.
“I think he might of ditched us.” Discord replied.
“Eeyup.” Big Mac said as they tried to fend off the army but was soon surrounded. The skeletons drew closer until three balls of smoke came from a tree and burst causing a smoke cloud to form, the next thing the three knew there were sounds of skeletons being dispatched and screeches. The smoke cleared to see Minra and Stein standing among the remains of the skeletons.
“What you actually thought I would ditch you?” Minra said chuckling.
“Well yea, besides where were you?” Spike asked.
“I was in the tree, because you know I’m a ranger and we do like being in high places.” Minra said.
The group traveled across the land, doing side quests.
“Oh thank goodness adventurers please you need to help, we were travailing when we were attacked by a tall slender pony type creature, it took my son, can you please help us?” One of NPCs asked but it was more like begging.
“Sure, where did this creature go?” Spike asked.
“I-it went that away.” The NPC pointed in the direction of a forest.
“Of coarse it did.” Discord said.
“Eeyup.”
“Stein I need you to be our eyes in the sky.” Minra told his bird as it flew off.
“Come on what are we waiting for?” Spike asked as the four of them charged into the forest with Minra taking to the trees and Stein searching the skies.
The group traveled in the same direction until Stein flew down to Minra.
“Did you find something?” Minra asked as Stein nodded.
“Good take us there.” Minra said as Stein flew to the direction where it found something with the three ponies and Discord in hot pursuit.
The four of them reached a clearing where they saw the tall slender creature holding the colt by a leg in the air with one of it’s tentacles. It was a pale white with no determinable facial features or mane or tail for that matter except for the four tentacles jutting out from it’s back with the colt in one of them and a grinning mouth that was full of sharp teeth and was drooling.
“What are we gonna do?” Spike asked.
“I’ll distract it, when I do I need you to chop that tentacle off, Spike you catch the colt and Discord keep the creature at a distance.” Minra said as the others nodded.
Minra rushed to behind the creature and shouted “Hey Ugly over here!”
The monster turned it’s head and growled at Minra when Big Mac charged out of the bush and chopped the tentacle off, then Spike caught the boy. It let out an ear piercing screech it then turned it’s attention to Big Mac and shot it’s tentacles at him but they were blocked by his shield. Discord shot arrows at it and with a final blow Minra stabbed it in the head with a dagger. The creature fell down with a thud. It was dead they had won, the four adventures escorted the colt back to his parent. The NPC gave the party a hundred twenty gold each. The group traveled more and came across all sorts of enemies until they fought and defeated one of the Squizard’s generals. After defeating it the four looted the body.
“Okay I think we should call it for today.” Spike told Discord.
“Very well.” Discord said as he flicked his fingers and sent themselves back to real life.
“Good idea, besides I’m going to the lake to try and transform into that big version of my dragon pony form.” Minra said.
“Okay see you later.” Spike said while waving at Minra.
“Well I don’t know about you two but I need a nap.” Discord said as he popped out of existence.
“So Big Mac got any plans?” Spike asked as he packed the game up.
“Nope.” Big Mac said shaking his head.
Minra trotted, to the lake to try to transform into his bigger dragon pony form. Once there he transformed into his normal dragon pony form then focused so he can transform into his bigger dragon pony form that occurred during the Draugr battle. Realizing that it had not worked Minra sighed, and grunted. At that time he heard three fillies giggling and noticed that the giggles were coming closer and as not to scare them he reverted back to his earth pony form. When the three got close he realized it was the CMC crew
“Heya Minra what are you up to?” Sweetie Bell asked.
“Oh I was just trying something.” Minra replied.
“Oh really what was it?” Applebloom asked.
“It’s nothing important but anyway what do you three want?” Minra asked.
“Well would you please come with us?” Scootalo giggled.
“Uh sure?” Minra hesitated as he followed the three fillies all the way to the CMC club house and went inside.
“Okay so what is this about?” Minra asked.
“Oh you know it’s just…make over time!” Sweetie Bell said with a malicious look on her face as she levitated some make up supplies.
“Oh and we have a camera to take pictures of our master pieces.” Applebloom said holding up a camera.
“What do you m-mean masterpieces?” Minra asked a little frightened.
“Oh we’re gonna give you several makeovers.” The three fillies said in unison and then giggled.
“Oh and don’t bother trying to flee there’s three of us and one of you.” Applebloom said while cackling like a classic villain.
Sweetie Bell, Scootalo and Minra looked at Applebloom with a look that said really.
“Too much?” Applebloom asked.
Too much the rest of them said in unison.
“Anyway time to get cracking.” Sweetie Bell said.
The three fillies plastered makeup all over Minra’s face then took a picture. Minra was not amused at this because there was blush, lipstick, mascara, among other makeup stuff.
“Next we’re gonna turn you into a fairy tail Princess.” Sweetie Bell said giggling.
This went on for a while, with several pictures of him in makeup.
“Okay all done, you may go now.” Sweetie Bell said.
“Good.” Minra said while wiping the makeup of his face. He left the CMC club house while the three fillies waved at him.
Minra was walking down the streets of Ponyville wondering what to do as he was now bored again but now realized he was hungry because of being the CMC’s hostage and playing Ogres and Oubliettes so he trotted to an ice cream shop where he proceeded to by his favorite flavor of ice cream, chocolate strawberry. After finishing his frozen food he strolled through the town when he decided to draw. So Minra trotted down to Twilight’s castle and went into the table room where placed some paper, markers and other drawing utensils and started drawing. Minra was quietly drawing when a sand blue unicorn mare with a pastel blue mane and tail, lavender eyes, who wears a magician hat and cape with stars on them and has a crescent moon and magic wand burst in.
“Starlight it is I your friend Trixie I am here!” Trixie exclaimed.
“She’s not here.” Minra said while still drawing.
“Excuse me, who are you?” Trixie asked.
“I could ask the same about you.” Minra said still not looking up.
“I am the great and powerful Trixie, and you are?” Trixie said with emphasis on great and powerful.
“Sorry haven’t heard of you, name’s Minra.”
“What do you mean you haven't heard of me, why I’m the great and powerful Trixie, how have you not heard of me?” Trixie asked.
“I’ve only been living here for five months, this is the first time I’ve heard of you.” Minra said looking up from his paper to see Trixie with a shocked and frustrated look on her face.
“Oh really you’ve been living here in Ponyville for five months so you still must of heard of me?” Trixie asked.
“Nope and it’s not just Ponyville but this world.” Minra said.
“Huh Trixie doesn’t understand.”
“I’m not from this world, okay.” Minra said starting to get annoyed.
“Uh Trixie thinks you’re crazy but won’t say anything, so where’s Starlight?” Trixie asked.
“She's in the Crystal Empire with Twilight, Fluttershy, Rainbow Dash, Rarity, Pinkie Pie, and Applejack.” Minra explained.
“So Trixie came here for nothing?” Trixie asked.
“I guess so, sorry.” Minra said as he shrugged.
“Fine, but maybe you can entertain me until she gets back.” Trixie said.
“Excuse me?” Minra said raising an eyebrow.
“Entertain me, the great and powerful Trixie wishes to be entertained.”
“Sorry I don’t want to and you might want to watch out for Sunshine.” Minra said.
“Who’s Sunshine?” Trixie asked.
“She’s my dog.” Minra replied.
“Is she aggressive?”
“Only if you consider pouncing on you and giving you an unusual amount of licks aggressive.” Minra said.
“Please how big is she, the size of a Chihuahua?” Trixie asked smirking.
“No, she’s half wolf, if that doesn’t tell you how big she is then I don’t know what will.” Minra replied.
“Yea right.”
“Fine.” Minra said as Sunshine pounced on Trixie and started licking her.
“Gahh Trixie demands you stop licking me you, you, hey Michael or what ever your name is can you get your dog off of me.” Trixie said.
“Fine, Sunshine come.” Minra said as Sunshine walked to him.
“Ugh how dare your mut cover Trixie in slobber.”
“Well I did warn you.” Minra said.
“Hmpf, besides what are you doing here?” Trixie asked.
“Drawing.” Minra replied.
“Well then, Trixie demands you draw Trixie.”
“No thank you, besides I’m already drawing something already.” Minra said returning to his drawings.
“What are you even drawing.” Trixie asked inquisitively.
“An archer.” Minra replied
”Well if you want to draw somepony that looks good, the great and powerful Trixie will be just outside the castle in her caravan.”
“Whatever.” Minra said as Trixie totted away but soon came back.
“Trixie wants to know why you don’t have a winter coat?”
“I don’t need it.” Minra replied.
There was a silence between the two but Minra continued to draw.
“What do you want Trixie?” Minra asked as he sighed.
“Trixie doesn’t have any bits and Trixie is hungry and Trixie was wondering if you would be willing to by her some food.” Trixie said with a nervous smile.
“Fine, let me put my stuff away then we can go.” Minra said as he packed his stuff and headed to his room and came back.
“What took you so long?”
“Do you want food or not?” Minra replied.
“Trixie is sorry, lets go.”
“Okay.” Minra said as the two of them headed to Ponyville’s store once their he asked her what she wanted.
“Trixie desires a salad, some cookies, and a bottle of water.”
“Okay, wait here.” Minra said as he walked into the store.
After getting the three items plus a candy bar Minra went to a checkout isle where the cashier told him that the total was seven bits he promptly paid for the food and left the store with bag in mouth and a hungry Trixie was waiting.
“What took you so long?” Trixie asked.
“There was a line.” Minra responded as he took a candy bar from the bag.
“Wait, Trixie has to repay you for this.”
“Don’t worry about it.” Minra said as he walked away.
“Hmpf.” Trixie said as she walked to a nearby table and proceeded to eat her lunch.
When Minra got home he got his drawing utensils and went back to the table room where he had been and started coloring his drawing while munching on his candy bar. Twilight and the others walked in to the table room to find Minra drawing.
“Heya Minra we’re back how’s everything?” Twilight asked.
“Well I played Ogres and Oubliettes with Spike, Discord, and Big Mac, and then I was held hostage by the CMC crew and finally Trixie came by.” Minra explained.
“Why did Trixie come over?” Starlight asked.
“She was looking for you, because she was hungry and she had no bits so I bought her some food.” Minra responded.
“And what do y'all mean being held hostage?” Applejack asked.
“Trust me you’ll know when the they show you the photos.” Minra said shuddering.
“What ever do you mean?” Rarity asked.
“They gave me make overs.” Minra said.
“Really that’s hilarious.” Rainbow Dash said as she burst out in laughter.
“I’m glad you and Discord are becoming such good friends.” Fluttershy chimed in.
“Wait did you say makeup?” Rarity asked.
“Yea why?” Minra responded with a question of his own.
“Sweetie Bell!” Rarity shouted.
The Not so Averge Life of a Once Human Now Pony Named Minra
Chapter Ten
Minra woke up one morning and went to by a doughnut from Sugarcube Corner, where a pink earth pony was getting the bakery ready for the day.
“Hi Minra, how are you doing this morning, what would you like?” Pinkie Pie asked.
“Good, and I’ll have a creme filled doughnut.” Minra replied.
“What flavor?” Pinkie Pie asked.
“Strawberry.” Minra replied.
“Okie, dokie, lokie.” The hyper pink pony said as she placed the doughnut on the counter.
“That’ll be two bits.” Pinkie Pie said smiling as Minra took the doughnut and gave her two bits.
Minra walked down the streets of Ponyville while munching on his strawberry flavored creme doughnut, he absolutely loved those, no matter what flavor he got they were always so good that he didn’t need anything else to eat. The ponies of Ponyville were decorating the town in red, pink and white for the holiday known as Hearts and Hooves day was just a week away, and he had already planned the perfect present, for Fluttershy by spending the day at the petting zoo that would normally be closed for that day but was able to strike a deal with the owner to allow the two of them to be there. He had always hated Valentines day when he was human for certain reasons but now loved the holiday since he now has friends and a very special somepony. As he was trotting through the town he bumped into Big Macintosh.
“Sorry Big Mac, I didn’t see you there are you okay?” Minra asked apologetically.
“Eeyup.” The red earth pony said.
“So got any plans for Hearts and Hooves day?” Minra asked.
“Eeyup.” Big Mac replied.
“Cool, well I got to go, best be ready.” Minra said as he trotted off.
“Eeyup.”
On the way back to the castle Minra met Spike who was trying to figure out to what to buy his beloved Rarity. When he got to the table he laid all the items he needed to make the card for Fluttershy. Several failed attempt at cards later he was just laying his head on the table with an annoyed look on his face. Minra groaned as Twilight walked in.
“What’s wrong?” Twilight asked while noticing all the supplies layered over the table.
“I can’t figure out a good card to give to Fluttershy on Hearts and Hooves day.” Minra said groaning.
“Well why don’t you just buy her a card?” Twilight asked.
“But I want it to be special, this is my first Hearts and Hooves day, especially since this is the first time I was looking forward to it.” Minra said.
“Really?” Twilight said as she picked up one of the cards with her magic and reading it then snorted.
“Is this really the best you’ve got?” Twilight added.
“Hey I’m trying me best.” Minra said as he planted his face into the table and said something that Twilight couldn’t hear.
“No no, what you’re doing is trying to hard, it doesn’t have to be anything romantic.” Twilight said as she raised a hoof dismissively.
“Why?” Minra asked.
“Because anything you make for her she’ll love.” Twilight said.
“Did you get that from a book?” Minra asked.
“No, well yea but mostly from Cadence, having the Princess of love as your foal-sitter for several years does help in some ways.” Twilight responded while pouting.
“Thanks.” Minra said with a new spark in him as Twilight nodded.
“So what are you gonna give her as a present?” Twilight asked.
“Well I was going to take her to the petting zoo on Hearts and Hooves day.” Minra responded.
“But isn’t it closed on that day?”
“Normally yes but I was able to make a deal with the owner to allow Fluttershy and I to be able to go in.”
“Wait what kind of a deal?”
“Well basically I would volunteer to work there for a couple of weeks.” Minra responded.
“Oh okay.”
“What about you, what are your plans?” Minra asked.
“I don’t have any plans.” Twilight said.
“Oh sorry.” Minra responded.
“Nah, don’t worry I’m fine.” Twilight responded.
Minra spent the next couple of hours drawing, coloring and cutting some paper into an attempted swan shape that when opened would create a heart. Minra had also bought Fluttershy some flowers and some treats that had no ingredients that would harm any of her critters. The last thing Minra bought was a new bed for Fluttershy’s pet bunny named Angel.
“Heya Minra what are you doing?” Spike asked as he walked in.
“Oh I’m just getting Fluttershy’s presents ready for Hearts and Hooves, what are you doing for Heart’s and Hooves day?” Minra responded.
“Well I was hoping to spend the day with Rarity.” Spike responded.
“Cool, what did you get her?” Minra asked.
“Oh an uh spool of gold thread.” Spike responded.
“Cool, well I’m going to Fluttershy’s, see you later.” Minra said as he walked to Fluttershy.
“Okay see ya.” Spike responded.
Minra walked to Fluttershy’s cottage that was just out side of Ponyville when he heard somepony shout “watch out” in a familiar voice. When he turned there was a purple caravan rolling down a hill, heading straight for him. Minra braced for impact as the caravan collided with him however when it did the caravan stopped a couple of feet from the impact site with some trails of dirt in the middle. Minra walked out with a hoof on the caravan.
“Some one’s caravan?” Minra asked.
“Yea it’s Trixie’s…wait what?” The familiar voice and when Minra looked to see who the pony was he realized it was Trixie.
“This is your caravan.” Minra said raising an eyebrow.
“Yea so what.”
“Why why was it rolling down a hill in the first place?” Minra asked.
“Trixie may of forgotten to tighten the harness….” She said blushing out of embarrassment.
“Be more careful next time.” Minra said.
“Whatever, but Trixie is wondering, how did you stop Trixie’s caravan?”
“I just braced for impact, that's all.” Minra explained.
“Uh Trixie is confused.”
“I have powers okay.” Minra responded.
“Yea right, Trixie does not believe you.”
“Then how do you think I stopped it?” Minra responded.
“Fair enough, thanks anyway.” Trixie said.
“Don’t mention it.” Minra said walking away.
Meanwhile a certain unicorn filly otherwise known as Sweetie Bell was making a card for the creature or rather a certain baby dragon known as Spike, Twilight’s number one assistant. Meanwhile her friends Scootalo and Applebloom where confused by what Sweetie Bell was making.
“Uh Sweetie Bell what are you making?” Applebloom asked.
“I’m making a card.”
“Uh for who?” Scootalo asked.
“You’ll see.”
Sweetie Bell’s friends peered over her shoulder to see what she was making.
“Spike really, you know he likes your sister right?” Scootalo asked.
“I know, but with this I’ll finally get him to like me back.” Sweetie said.
“So why do you have glitter?” Applebloom asked.
“Duh it’s obviously for the card, Spike likes shiny things.” Sweetie Bell told her friends.
“Uh he likes gems, not glitter and he eats gems.” Scootalo reminded Sweetie Bell.
“I know that’s why I’m gonna ask Rarity to help me find a gem for Spike.” Sweetie Bell said.
“Oh okay.” Scootalo and Applebloom said in unison.
Meanwhile on the opposite side of town a white unicorn mare who wears sunglasses even indoors, had a blue and azure mane and tail with a music note as her cutie mark was working on her latest song that she had yet thought a name of when an earth pony mare who is light gray in coloration, with a charcoal mane and tail, magenta eyes, wears a white collar with a pink bow tie and has a magenta colored music note burst in to the room demanding she keep it down.
“Vynal Scratch can you please keep it down.” Octavia said.
“What’s wrong Tavi?” Vynal Scratch asked.
“The ponies all the way in Manehattan can here you!”
“Pfft, how can they I have my headphones plugged in.” Vynal Scratch responded.
“No they’re not!” Octavia Shouted as Vynal looked down and saw that the her headphones cord was indeed not plugged in.
“Heh heh, oops sorry Tavi.” Vynal Scratch said as she plugged in her headphones.
“I forgive you but please do be more careful.” Octavia said.
“Will do.” Vynal Scratch said.
Hearts and Hooves day came, and when Minra knocked on Fluttershy’s door she opened it.
“Hi Minra happy Hearts and Hooves day.” Fluttershy said when she opened her door.
“Heya Fluttershy Happy Hearts and Hooves day to you.” Minra responded as he walked in.
“What’s in your saddle bags?” Fluttershy asked.
“Well it’s some snacks I asked Pinkie Pie to make that are animal friendly, a new bed for Angel and a card.” Minra responded.
“Ooh can I see?”
“Sure.” Minra said as he took out the snacks and the bed and set it on the floor where Angel Bunny promptly hopped to and fell asleep on it.
“Aww he likes the bed.” Fluttershy said as Minra gave her the card.
“Here I made the card myself.” Minra said as Fluttershy opened the swan shaped card to see a heart that the two swans created.
“I love it.” Fluttershy said hugging Minra.
“I’m glad, now come on we got to head to the petting zoo.” Minra said.
“Why, isn’t it normally closed?” Fluttershy asked.
“It is but I was able to make a deal with the owner to allow the two of us to be in the petting zoo.” Minra explained.
Fluttershy squealed and kissed Minra. The two ponies trotted to the petting zoo where upon entering Fluttershy rushed to some chickens that greeted her. The two of them spent their Hearts and Hooves day their. There was a knock on Rarity’s door.
“Spike, happy Hearts and Hooves please come in.” Rarity said as Spike walked in.
“Rarity wo-would you like to be my very special somepony?” Spike asked.
“I’m honored by your offer but you’re simply to young for me I’m sorry but I do know a particular filly who want’s to be yours.” Rarity said gesturing to her little sister.
“Really?” Spike asked as Sweetie Bell walked out from behind the wall.”
“H-hey Spike, can I be your very special somepony?” Sweetie Bell asked while blushing.
“S-sure.” Spike said blushing as Rarity left the room.
Sweetie Bell hugged Spike at this news. Meanwhile Octavia and Vynal decided to spend the holiday by not doing anything interesting except watching movies while cuddling.
The Not so Averge Life of a Once Human Now Pony Named Minra
Chapter Eleven
Minra decided to checkout Twilight’s library for the first time since living in her. When he walked in to the library he saw Spike sitting in a chair reading a comic book and a weird machine that was hooked up to some sort of mirror.
“Hey Spike, what’s that?” Minra asked as he pointed to the odd contraption.
“Oh that, it’s the portal to the human world, pretty neat huh.” Spike responded.
“Th-the h-human world?” Minra asked.
“Yep, wait didn’t you say you were from the human world?” Spike asked.
“Yea I did.” Minra responded.
“Then why don’t you go and visit I’ll even have Twilight let Sunset Shimmer know so that she can help you with the location.” Spike offered.
“Um okay I guess visiting my former home won’t hurt.” Minra said gulping with all the memories of past rushing back to him.
“Okay I’ll go get our Twilight and our friends, just don’t go until she’s contacted her.”
“Also who’s Sunset Shimmer?” Minra asked.
“Well she’s a former student of Princess Celestia who went rouge, got thrown into the human world, tried to take over a school but is now reformed.” Spike answered.
“Oh okay.” Minra said in confusion.
“Be right back.” Spike said as he went to get Twilight and their friends. The group came to the Library where Minra was waiting and Fluttershy flew over to Minra.
“Are you sure about this Minra, your going to your former home, are you gonna stay there?” Fluttershy asked starting to ask as Minra comforted her.
“Are you kidding I’m never gonna stay in the human world, this is my home now and I have friends here.” Minra said as he got ready.
“Okay I contacted Sunset, she’ll be outside the portal with the human versions of us.” Twilight said.
“Uh okay.” Minra said as he waved and went into the portal. Minra flew through the portal that was more of a rainbow and flew out the other end.
“Ow well that hurt.” Minra said as he stood up and noticed that he was the same color has he was back in Equestria except now he was wearing a blue shirt with his cutie mark on it, black and red shorts with blue and azure sneakers he was also wearing a gray zip up hoodie and had a scar under his right eye that was pretty noticeable.
“Clearly this isn’t he same human world that I’m from.” Minra thought to himself but soon realized that this human world wasn’t the one he’s from.
“Uh dude are you okay?” A familiar voice asked and when he turned around there where seven people and a dog.
“Yea let me guess you’re Rainbow Dash, Fluttershy, Pinkie Pie, Twilight, Rarity, Applejack and I assume you’re Sunset Shimmer?” Minra asked.
“How did you know our names?” The girl in the middle of the group asked, she was a soft flame orange girl with red and yellow hair, bright teal eyes who wore a leather vest that had some gold spikes on it, an orange short sleeve shirt with some sort of star on it, a violet skirt and black boots. Next to her was a lavender colored girl with glasses, magenta eyes, dark purple hair with a magenta stripe and a violet stripe, her skirt was magenta and had Twilight’s cutie mark. She was holding a purple dog with green ears, underbelly, green eyes and a tuff of green hair on his head, he wore a flea color with a heart as the dog tag. On the other side is a girl who’s white in color with dark purple hair, blue eyes, wore a white t-shirt, a black belt, purple skirt with three diamonds on it, a gold bracelet and knee high purple boots. Next to her was a light blue girl with rainbow hair, magenta eyes, a blue jacket, a white shirt bearing Rainbow Dash’s cutie mark, a purple and white skirt with knee high boots. Then there’s a light pink girl with pink hair, blue eyes, a blue vest and white shirt with a pink heart in the middle, knee high blue boots, and a pink skirt with Pinkie Pie’s cutie mark on it. There’s a light yellow girl with blue eyes, a white tank top, a green skirt with three butterflies, green boots and pink hair. The final girl is a tan girl with freckles under her green eyes, blonde hair, has a cowboy hat, wears a white and green collard shirt with a belt that has an apple belt buckle on it, denim shorts, and knee high boots with three apples on them.
“Well because you look like my friends in Equestria only well human.” Minra responded.
“Wait how did you know we’re humans?” Rainbow Dash asked.
“Is it because you used to be human your self but got sent to Equestria via a portal that opened up while you were sleeping and when you woke up you were a pony?” Pinkie Pie asked.
“Yes, uh how did you know?” Minra asked.
“Just a hunch.” Pinkie Pie answered.
“And how did you get that scar?” Rainbow Dash asked.
“Oh uh I’d rather not say.” Minra said covering it with his hand.
“But I do have to say I do some what miss having hands again” Minra said then his eyes met with Fluttershy’s and he instantly darted away blushing.
“So Twilight tells me that you’re the seventh element of harmony and you have super powers?” Sunset asked.
“Yea I am and yes I do.” Minra responded standing up.
“Cool so what’s the seventh element?” Sunset asked.
“It’s self sacrifice.” Minra said.
“Huh, how do you figure?”
“Well I risked my life to save my friends so and every time I did I glowed green.”
“So what powers do you have?” Rainbow Dash asked.
“Well it’s better to show you.” Minra said as he tried to activate his ability but to know avail.
With a shocked look Minra said he can’t.
“It must be because this world’s magic is different from Equestrian magic so it’s possible that your powers may not work here sorry.” Sunset explained.
“Oh and let me guess, Spike talks.” Minra said.
“Yep.” Spike said.
“Well what now?” Minra asked.
“Hmm well lets go get some ice cream.” Pinkie suggested.
“Good idea, come on Minra out treat.” Twilight said.
The nine of them headed to a nearby Ice cream shop, where they proceeded to order their ice cream.”
“So Minra what’s it like living in Equestria?” Twilight asked.
“Well even though there’s a monster attack almost everyday with the latest being a Draugr attack, but earlier attacks were by Prince Nebula, and a Kluddle.
“Wait who’s Prince Nebula?” Sunset asked.
“Oh he’s Princess Luna and Princess Celestia’s baby brother, who well was evil but was actually being controlled by dark magic.” Minra responded.
“What’s a Kluddle?” Fluttershy asked.
“Well it’s a giant wolf with the wings of a bat on it’s back and blue fire on it’s back, as for Draugr they’re basically ice zombies.” Minra explained as Sunset’s note book vibrated.
“Oh it’s Twilight and Fluttershy, they want to know how you’re doing, and according to Fluttershy she said she misses you.” Sunset read.
“Uh what does she mean she misses Minra.” Twilight asked.
“Well in Equestria Fluttershy and I are dating.” Minra said blushing which also caused the human Fluttershy to blush.
“Wait really?” Rainbow Dash asked.
“Yes.”
“C-can we change the subject like do you have any pets?” Fluttershy asked.
“Yea I have a wolf mix.” Minra responded.
“Cool what breeds?” Rainbow Dash asked.
“Well she’s half wolf, a quarter Golden Retriever, and a quarter Corgi.” Minra responded.
The nine of them chatted as they walked through a park, well at least eight of them did because Spike was in the open, but the topic soon changed to powers. Rainbow Dash tells him that She has super speed.
“What about the rest of you?” Minra asked.
“Telekinesis.” Twilight said.
“I can make anything explode just by touching it.” Pinkie Pie said.
“I can read people's minds by touching them.” Sunset said.
“I-I can talk to animals. Fluttershy said.
“I’m strong.” Applejack said.
“And I Can create gems.” Rarity said.
“So when was the first time you used your powers?” Rainbow Dash asked.
“Well it was shortly after I got transported to Equestria and Twilight, Applejack, and Rainbow Dash found me after I had screamed, which unintentionally attracted some timber wolves that Rainbow Dash flew through but they soon merged into one big one and that’s when I unlocked my powers and burnt that timber wolf to a pile of ashes.” Minra explained.
“Those poor wolves.” Fluttershy said.
“Oh no these timber wolves are made of wood.” Minra said.
“Oh okay.” Fluttershy said.
“It’s getting pretty late y’all we should probably go home.” Applejack said.
“Good idea, Minra would you like to stay at my place?” Sunset asked.
“Sure.” Minra responded.
Soon everyone went home.
“This is my house, I know it’s nothing special but I live here so uh make your self at home.” Sunset said.
“Thanks.” Minra said as he sat on her couch.
“Want some burgers?” Sunset asked.
“Sure.” Minra replied he looked around her house.
“You’ve got a nice place here.” Minra said.
“Oh uh thanks.” Sunset responded, "it might take a while so please be patient.” Sunset said.
After a while Sunset brought out some two burgers with some tater tots, lettuce, tomato, ketchup, mustard and manoyese to the coffee table where they proceeded to eat their dinner and watch TV.
“How is it?” Sunset asked.
“It’s great.” Minra said.
“I’m glad but I hope you don’t mind that I used ground beef and not the vegetation stuff.” Sunset asked.
“I don’t mind.” Minra said happily.
“I know you said you don’t want to talk about how you got that scar but I’ll tell you about something I wasn’t proud off if you tell me about how you got your scar?” Sunset asked.
“Fine, well when I was in my home world, I had abusive parents that would hit me and call me names, and then one day my father cut me with a knife…where you see this scar is, however shortly after that my parents got reported when some one saw one of them hit me, the cops came and I told them everything, where they got life in prison and after that I moved to an apartment where I lived for a couple of years until I got transported to Equestria.” Minra explained.
“Oh my Celestia, I’m so sorry.” Sunset said.
“It’s okay.” Minra said.
“Okay well the thing I wasn’t proud of was that I basically ran the school, no one opposed me and anyone who did well had something bad to them until one day I stole Twilight’s crown which I used to control almost everyone in the school and tried to take over Equestria until Twilight and her friends stopped me and well they made me their friend, please don’t think anything less of me because that was the old me.” Sunset said.
“Don’t worry I don’t” Minra said.
The two of them chatted and played video games until it was time for them to go to sleep when Sunset brought Minra a pillow and a blanket so he can sleep on the couch. The next morning they woke up and went to Canterlot High where Sunset said he can become a student if he wished where he reluctantly agreed. Meanwhile a creature watched from a vent as it talked to it’s self. Then came out from a janitor’s closet with the appearance of Minra.
“Move it pests!” The creature said as it bumped into student by student.
Later at lunch Minra was sitting at a table with the human versions of his friends when the loud speaker spoke.
“Minra to the Principal's office, Minra to the Principal's office now!”
“What wrong Minra?” Twilight asked.
“I don’t know.” Minra said as he stood up.
“We’ll go with you.” Sunset said.
“Thanks.” Minra responded as the group walked to the Principal's office while glares where being shot at Minra by some of the students when he got there Principal Celestia and Vice Principal Luna where waiting for him.
“Take a seat, the rest of you may stay outside.” Principal Celestia said with a stern look on her face which Minra realized that he had gotten in trouble for something.
“Now we need to talk, normally since it’s your first day I would normally let you off with a warning but for all you’ve done I’m giving you a detention.” Principal Celestia said.
“B-but what did I do?” Minra asked as he started getting scared.
“We got several complaints of you bulling some students and even taking someone’s binder and throwing it in the trash, not to mention we have eye witness accounts and some photos.” Vice Principal Luna said.
“Now what do you have to say for yourself?” Principal Celestia said.
“Can I have a look at those photos please?” Minra said as Vice Principal Luna handed him the photos. Once he got them he noticed a couple things wrong with the photos, one of which is that there was no scar on this imitator's face and the second one is that at the times shown in the photos Minra was with his friends.
“Uh this isn’t me, first off I have a scar on my face, second I was with my friends at these times.” Minra explained.
“Okay we’ll just see about that.” Principal Celestia as she motioned for Vice Principle Luna to let Minra’s friends in.
“May we ask what this is about?” Twilight asked.
“Yes, it appears that our newest Student has been bulling several students but he claims that the person in the photos isn’t him and he claims that he was with the seven of you when these photos were taken.” Vice Principal Luna said as she handed Minra’s friends the photos.
“He’s right this isn’t him, he has a scar and who ever this is doesn’t, and we were with him at this time.” Sunset said.
“Yea this isn’t him at all.” Rainbow Dash added.
“Now that you mention it who ever this is doesn’t have a scar, do you perhaps have an identical twin?” Principal Celestia asked.
“No ma’am I don’t.” Minra said.
“Do you think this could be magic related?” Sunset asked.
“I certainly hope not, that’s the last thing this school needs right now, but for now you are free to go.” Principal Celestia said.
“Th-thank you.” Minra said as the nine of them walked out of the office.
“We need to find out who this impostor is before they get Minra into anymore trouble.” Twilight told her friends.
“Agreed.” Minra said as the nine of them heard crying and when they ran to see what was wrong, they saw the impostor holding a medium stone gray girl by her collar of her shirt she has yellow hair, yellow eyed that go in different directions, she wore a blue shirt with a yellow tie, a green skirt and green shoes, she was crying while the impostor held a fist in the air like he was about to hit her but once noticing the group he smirked and pushed the girl towards them then he ran away. Minra caught the student in his arms before she could hit the floor.
“Stop right there you impostor!” Rainbow Dash shouted as she ran after him using her super speed but when she turned a corner he was gone.
“Are you hurt?” Minra asked the student.
“I-I think I’m fine thanks.” The student said as she looked up and saw Minra’s face she started freaking out and crying.
“It’s okay I’m not that guy, I have a scar they don’t.” Minra told the student and she finally calmed down.
“He’s gone.” Rainbow Dash said as she walked back to her friends.
“Could they be a changeling?” Sunset asked.
“No, their disguises are spot on except for the personality, second if my magic doesn’t work here then how would a changeling’s work.” Minra said.
“Good point, we should ask Twilight.” Sunset said as she wrote to Twilight about the situation and asked is there’s anything in her books about this sort of creature, but much to their dismay Twilight responded with a negative.
The nine of them spent the rest of the day searching for this impostor but to no avail. The next day Minra caught the impostor bulling another student and decided to sneak up on it and punch it, however when he tried to punch it the face it sunk in like if it where a water balloon.
“What are you?” Minra shouted as the creature smiled and threw him against some lockers causing them to have a dent in it and when he came to the impostor was missing but his friends where there making sure him and the student was okay.
“What happened?” Rarity asked.
“I caught the impostor bulling another student so I went to go and punch it however when I did the face sunk in like it was a water balloon and then it threw me against some lockers.” Minra explained.
“More importantly are you okay?” Sunset asked.
“I think so aside from some bruis-aghh!” Minra yelped as he held his side in pain.
“What’s wrong darling?” Rarity asked.
“I think my ribs are broken.” Minra said clenching his mouth.”
“Come on, we’ll take the two of you two to the nurse’s office.” Rainbow Dash said as her and Twilight helped walk Minra to the nurse’s office while Applejack and Sunset carried the other student. Upon entering the nurse asked what was wrong, where Minra promptly told her what had happened. The nurse called an ambulance where they took Minra to the hospital where he was diagnosed with three broken ribs and some bruises, the student was just suffering from a concussion. Minra was later released, the student woke up soon after with a throbbing head but was otherwise okay. The next day Minra and his friends where in the cafeteria.
“How are you feeling suagrcube?” Applejack asked.
“I’ve been better, but I’m worried that who ever this impostor is they’re getting more violent.” Minra said.
“Don’t worry, we’ll get this dude.” Rainbow Dash said.
“She’s right.” Twilight added.
“I know I just wish I could do more, if only I could use my powers.” Minra said frustrated as he hit the table.
“Whoa calm down, Minra.” Sunset said as Minra apologized.
“You know, when we got our powers, they were out of control.” Pinkie Pie said.
“Really?” Minra asked.
“Totally, when I first discovered mine, I was tossing Fluttershy some sprinkles when they exploded mid air causing dough to fly everywhere.” Pinkie Pie said.
“Yea and when I discovered mine I was accidentally levitating people and objects.” Twilight said.
The group chatted when a pale yellow boy with blue hair walked over, he has blue eyes, a charcoal jacket with red and white lines, his shirt was white with a blue shield on it and a yellow lightning bolt covering it, her wore blue jeans, and black and white sneakers with a yellow lightning bolt on them.
“Oh hi Flash, this is Minra, Minra this is Flash Sentry, we uh used to date.” Sunset said.
“Nice to meet you.” Minra said as he held out a hand.
“Whoa cool scar how did you get it?” Flash asked as he shook Minra’s hand.
“I rather not say.” Minra said.
“Okay, so what are you up to?” Flash asked.
“We’re just tying to figure out how to stop an impostor.” Twilight said.
“What?” Flash asked.
“Well someone is posing as Minra and is bulling students, and we fear who ever this is, is getting more violent, so if you see someone that looks like Minra but doesn’t have a scar then that’s the impostor.” Sunset said.
The ten of them chatted until the bell rung singling that lunch was over, so every student went to their classes and then went home.
“How are you feeling Minra?” Sunset asked.
“Better.” Minra responded.
“That’s good.” Sunset said as she handed him a can of soda.
“Oh and can you tell Twilight that I’m gonna be here a while longer until we find this impostor?” Minra asked.
“Of coarse.” Sunset said as she wrote in her magic journal that sends what ewer's written to Equestria version of Twilight.
The days went by with no incidents no problems which put the group on edge until an announcement came on the speakers saying that “The Canterlot High school Spring festival will be here in a week so be prepared, sign up if you want to make any booths, or games.”
“Oh oh can we make a booth please?” Pinkie Pie asked.
“Sure, what kind do you have in mind?” Twilight asked.
“A bakery booth.” Pinkie Pie said.
“Good idea, and while the festival is going on we can monitor for any behavior of Minra’s Impostor.” Sunset said.
“Well what are we waiting for, lets go sign up!” Pinkie Pie said excitedly.
“Okay sugarcube calm down.” Applejack said as the group headed to the area to sign up. The next day Rarity showed the group the design of the booth and of the clothing.
“Well how do you like it Pinkie Pie?” Rarity asked.
“It is awesome! So who wants to help?” Pinkie Pie asked.
“I’ll do it, me two, s-sure, I’ll join.” Minra, Applejack, Fluttershy and Sunset said when everyone turned to Minra in surprise.
“What?” Minra asked.
“Uh you do know that you’ll have to wear a maid costume right?” Rarity asked as Minra started blushing at the sudden realization.
“Well it may not be the most embarrassing thing that’s happened but I’ll do it.” Minra said.
“Oh and what’s the most embarrassing thing that’s happened?” Twilight asked.
“Well the CMC crew held me hostage and gave me several makeovers and had me wear dresses.” Minra confessed.
“Besides I don’t go for the strict gender roles thing anyway."
“Okie, dokie, lokie, so Minra, Rarity, Fluttershy, and Sunset will be the advertisers while AJ and I will work the booth.” Pinkie Pie said.
“I’ll create some ear pieces for communication in case one of us spots the Impostor.” Twilight said.
“Good Idea and I’ll make the booth.” Applejack said
“But one question, what are we gonna call it?” Twilight asked.
“Hmm how about the Sweet Endeavors Cafe?” Minra asked.
“That’s perfect!” Pinkie Pie shouted.
The nine of them started preparing, Rarity gave the finished the maid costumes to Minra, Fluttershy, Applejack, Pinkie Pie, and Sunset. The week of the festival soon came by and everyone who participated built their booths, meanwhile the Sweet Endeavors Cafe was already done. The costumes where identical with a pink bow tie, black and silver shirt and a pink and black skirt with silver gloves.
“So what now?” Sunset asked.
“Group photo.” Pinkie Pie shouted as the six participants huddled together for a selfie that would be later printed out for Minra to show his friends back in Equestria.
“Okay two of you hold the signs while the other two will hand out fliers, Pinkie Pie and I will be making the treats. Applejack said. Minra got paired with Sunset, while Rarity got paired with Fluttershy.
Minra and Sunset walked to the left side of the school in their maid outfits and getting stares from the students.
“This is so embarrassing.” Minra said blushing.
“Yea it is but at least this way we can make sure that the impostor doesn’t come this way.” Sunset said as the school bell sounded signaling the start of the festival. All the students rushed out of the school and to all the booths. There was a crowd gathering around Minra as some students were giggling, and taking pictures.
“Either go and by something from Sweat Endeavors or leave.” Minra said in frustration when Minra’s earpiece buzzed.
“Have you seen the impostor yet?” Twilight asked.
“Negative.” Minra responded as he twirled the sign.
“No sign here.” Rarity responded.
“Me neither.” Sunset added.
“N-nope.” Fluttershy said.
“Not here either.” Applejack said.
“Hold on I have visual.” Rainbow Dash said.
“Good, where are they heading?” Twilight asked.
“They’re heading to Minra and Sunset, I’ll follow them.” Rainbow Dash said as she trailed them.
“He’s heading to Minra, more like he’s running to him.” Sunset said.
“I got this!” Rainbow Dash said as she used her super speed to try and catch them, but when she got close enough the impostor threw her to into the side of the school.
“We got a situation here, the target has thrown Rainbow Dash.” Sunset said.
“I’m okay.” Rainbow said as the others gathered to confront the impostor. As Minra’s friends transformed into their Friendship Power-Up forms. Twilight had gotten a dress that was blue with wings that were the same color of her skin, longer hair and pony ears. In fact all of Minra’s friends wore similar out fits, with some differences, mainly in colors and patterns, Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy gained wings that matched the color of their skin, and longer hair while the rest of the girls just got pony ears and longer hair.
“I guess I no longer need this disguised.” The impostor said as his form shifted into a large translucent mucus green slime like humanoid with no legs.
“Who are you?” Twilight asked.
“I am Zontro!” The impostor said.
“I don’t care who you are, get him!” Sunset said as Pinkie Pie threw some sprinkles at him that detonated but it did nothing.
“You really think that’s gonna effect me?” Zontro said as he slapped Pinkie Pie into some booths.
“I’m okay!” Pinkie shouted.
“Oh you’re gonna pay for that!” Rarity said as she shot some gems at Zontro but it had no effect.
Zontro hit the ground with his fist so hard that it caused a shock wave causing anyone who was on the ground to tumble over.
“Okay that’s it!” Rainbow Dash said as she flew at top speed around Zontro but was batted away.
Applejack picked up a rather large boulder out of the ground and flung it at Zontro. With one flick the boulder was shattered. Twilight tried to keep him in place with her magic but he was to strong for her.
“Hmmm what do we have here?” Zontro said as he noticed Fluttershy and threw a hand at her in hopes of consuming her.
“Fluttershy!” Every shouted as Minra pushed her out of the way sacrificing himself and being consumed by him.
“Minra!” Applejack said as she tried to pull him out of the slime but was knocked away by a tendril.
“Hmm aw he tried to protect his stupid girlfriend, how idiotic, now he’s par-aghhh!” Zontro said as he started screaming in agony.
“What’s wrong with him?” Sunset asked.
“I think it’s Minra, everyone look at the hand that Minra was adsorbed in.” Twilight said pointing to the now bubbling hand.
The hand exploded sending bits of slime in every direction and a rather angry looking person in the middle where the hand had been, it was Minra. He was mostly azure with some dark blue looking shorts, azure bottom legs, upper arms, chest, and face, on his chest had his cutie mark, he had grown dark blue wings that where green underneath, he had pony ears, dark blue lower arms and hands that formed into claws, a dark blue lizard tail, a singular horn on his head, his eyes were now green and he had dark blue hair. Minra immediately flew into the air and roared at Zontro.
“I-is that Minra?” Pinkie Pie asked after climbing out of the booths.
“I believe so.” Twilight said in shock.
“H-how, wh-who, wh-what are you?” Zontro asked Minra.
“I am Minra!” He shouted as he punched Zontro in the face causing him to tumble back almost falling on the school.
“And you, don’t ever hurt my friends!” Minra shouted as he grabbed Zontro by the chest and flung him onto the soccer field.
Zontro grunted “You’ll pay for that you pest!” He shouted as he slapped Minra all the way to the front of Canterlot High.
“Minra!” His friends shouted.
“I’m gonna destroy this cursed school and consume all the students.” Zontro said as he maid his way to the school.
“No you won’t!” Minra shouted as he flew over the school and started spouting blue flames.
Zontro swatted him into the school. There was a roar coming from the school when Minra flew out he transformed in to his full on dragon from startling everyone. He punched Zontro in the face causing him to fall over onto his back where Minra promptly punched him with his claws engulfed in blue flame, then finally spewing flames onto Zontro. Soon Zontro stopped flailing and his body shrunk until there’s nothing left for the flames to burn, then Minra shrunk back into his human dragon form then reverted back to his base form. Then collapsed while still in a now torn maid costume. Later Minra woke up on Sunset’s couch.
“Ugh what happened?” Minra asked holding his head in his hand while noticing all his friends watching him.
“Well it’s a long story.” Sunset said.
“Yea but an awesome story, you were like roar eat fire then he was like no aghh he slapped you into the school but you flew out and transformed into a giant dragon creature then you were like eat fire fists then eat flames!” Rainbow Dash said.
“Is the Canterlot High okay?” Minra asked.
“Well other then some broken windows and a damages wall, yes the school is okay, and you protected it.” Twilight said.
“And here’s your clothes, though I think the only one who was truly hurt was Rarity.” Applejack said handing Minra his clothes.
“Well she’s kind of crying in the corner at the sight of her torn dress.” Sunset said scratching her head.
“Now hurry we have to be at the school soon.” Pinkie Pie said.
“Don’t worry we’ll tell you later.” Sunset said as Minra got up and went to change in the bathroom and came back out with his own clothes.
“But I have question, how come my explosions didn’t do anything but your flames did? Pinkie Pie asked.
“I think it might have had to do with the flames themselves and the temperature.” Minra responded.
“I still don’t get it.” Pinkie Pie said
“Well you know how your explosions don’t have any flames in them, and well water boils at a certain temperature then that could be why.” Minra responded.
“Oh that makes sense, now come on!” Pinkie Pie said grabbing his hand and dragging him to Canterlot High where all the booths that the students had built.”
“What’s going on?” Minra asked.
“Well we decided to hold the Spring Festival again, before you have to go back to Equestria.” Spike said.
“Now come on!” Pinkie Pie said.
Minra explored the campus and eventually met Principal Celestia and her sister.
“Minra, thank you for protecting this school, well for most of it, and I apologize for thinking that you were a bully.” Principal Celestia said.
“Your welcome but it wasn’t all me my friends did most of the work, and I’m sorry for enrolling here, I just wanted to be with my friends.” Minra said.
“It’s quite all right now go on enjoy the festival.” Vice Principal Luna said.
Minra went to several of the booths, some of which were games, with prizes, and stuff you can just buy. One of the school’s photographers asked him for a photo, which he agreed to under one condition, which was that it had to be taken with his friends. However well after the festival was over everyone stayed to watch Minra go through the portal back to Equestria. Where his Equestrian friends greeted him. Particularly Fluttershy and Sunshine.
“Minra I missed you!” Fluttershy said hugging him tightly while Sunshine was licking him furiously.
“Yea Tell us about your stay there.” Rainbow Dash said.
“Well it started off with me realizing that, that world wasn’t the one that I’m from but anyway, I found out my powers didn’t work, and on my first day at Canterlot High, I was called into Principal Celestia’s office for bulling some students but the Human versions of you plus Sunset defended me saying that the impostor in the photos that were taken didn’t have a scar that I have, so the charges were dropped, then my human friends and I found the impostor who was bulling the human version of Derpy, but got away before Rainbow Dash could catch him, then I saw him bulling another student the next day so I punched the impostor but he threw me against some lockers and broke three of my ribs, then there was a Spring festival that my human friends and I made a booth for that was called Sweat Endeavors cafe, but also doubled as a way to find the impostor who turned out to be a slime like creature named Zontro that was about to consume Fluttershy but I pushed her out of the way and sacrificed myself but that’s when my powers awoke, again Zontro flung me into the school where I flew out of and transformed into my full on dragon form and proceeded to beat Zontro, and well I may have burned him to death with my flames.” Minra explained.
“That is so cool!” Rainbow Dash said.
“Great name.” Pinkie Pie Chimed in.
“Oh and I may have forgotten to mention that the cafe was a maid cafe and I may have helped Pinkie Pie advertise and I may have had to dress up and we may have taken a picture.” Minra said blushing.
“Really do you have a picture?” Fluttershy asked.
“Yea, hold on.” Minra said as he took out the picture that had some how stayed the way it was when he was given it.
“Who’s the humans in this picture?” Rarity asked.
“Well on the bottom right corner is Pinkie Pie, in the middle is me, on my left is Sunset, on the top left corner is Applejack, in the top Middle is Rarity, and in the top right corner is Fluttershy.” Minra explained.
“Y-you lo-look cute.” Fluttershy said blushing.
Rainbow Dash burst into laughter.
“Who designed those absolutely lovely outfits?” Rarity asked.
“Well it was Rarity.
“But I have one question, where did you sleep?” Starlight asked.
“I slept on Sunset’s couch.” Minra explained.
“But as much as I missed being human, I belong here.” Minra said hugging his friends.
“So what do humans eat?” Rarity asked.
“Well, we’re omnivores meaning we eat both plants and animals but some of us choose to eat plants, sometimes all plants or mostly plants.” Minra explained.
“A-animals, how vulgar!” Rarity said.
“I guess, even Sunset eats meat in the human world.” Minra responded.
“Really?” Twilight asked.
“Yea, but anyway anything happen while I was gone?” Minra asked.
“No nothing really.” Twilight said.
The Not so Averge Life of a Once Human Now Pony Named Minra
Chapter Twelve
Minra was asleep in his bed with Fluttershy in his hooves who was sound asleep when his alarm went off waking the sleeping ponies.
“Good morning Fluttershy.” Minra said kissing her head.
“Good morning, happy birthday.” Fluttershy said getting up and stretching.
“Thanks.” Minra said getting up when the two of them heard a knock on his door.
Minra opened the door to see Pinkie Pie with a party canon in front of the door.
“Happy Birthday!” Pinkie Pie shouted as she fired her canon, sending confetti all over the room.
“Thanks Pinkie.” Minra said coughing up confetti.
“No problem, now come on, I made you a birthday breakfast.” Pinkie Pie said as she hopped away.
Minra, and Fluttershy followed Pinkie Pie while still getting confetti out of their manes. Upon entering, there was pancakes, waffles, donuts, french toast, and crepes, along with all his friends, even Sunset Shimmer.
“Happy Birthday!” all of them shouted.
“I can’t stay but I did want to attend your birthday breakfast, and I brought some presents from all your friends in the human world.” Sunset said.
“Yea, yea can we hurry up the great and powerful Trixie is hungry.”
“Okay.” Minra said as he sat down and munched on the food.
After everypony was finished eating they all gave Minra presents and left.
“I’m gonna go and practice doing my large dragon from.” Minra told his friends.
“Okay, be here by noon.” Pinkie Pie said cheerfully.
“Will do.” Minra said as he walked to the lake while getting happy birthdays from his neighbors.
Upon arriving to the lake he noticed his students having a day at the beach.
“Hi professor Minra happy birthday, how’s it going?” Sandbar asked.
“Thanks and I told you, just call me Minra, also it’s actually been pretty good, so what are you seven up to?” Minra asked.
“Well we’ve been building castles and burring each other in the sand, also we’ve been roasting marshmallows, want one?” Smolder asked while pointing at Yona.
“Minra look, Yona is mermare."
“Sure.” Minra said as Smolder threw a roasted marshmallow at him which he caught with his hoof and promptly ate it.
“So what are you doing out here?” Gallus asked.
“Well I’m going to test one of my powers.” Minra said, but if you need me I’ll be on the over there.” Minra said as he walked to one side of the beach as Gallus continued to play with his friends.
“Okay you can do this, just focus.” Minra said as he sat on one side of the beach, but soon gave up and plopped onto his back where he groaned. Only to see the face of Prince Nebula, when Minra scrambled to his hooves and bowed to Prince Nebula.
“Please there’s no need for that.” Prince Nebula said raising a hoof.
Minra lifted his head and asked why he was here.
“Well since I heard it’s your birthday I came to say happy birthday and to give you this.” Prince Nebula said as he levitated a present to him, “and besides I was wondering if we can hangout?” Prince Nebula said.
“Thanks and sure what do you want to do?” Minra asked while placing the present on his back.
“Well Luna has gotten me into playing video games, so I was wondering if we can play some?” Prince Nebula asked.
“Sure.” Minra said as Prince Nebula and him walked to his castle while getting surprised looks from the residents of Ponyville while they chatted.
“No way, that’s hilarious.” Prince Nebula said bursting into laughter after hearing Minra tell him about the times where he was held hostage by the CMC crew and how he dressed as a maid while he was in the human world. Upon entering the castle it was dark at first until a bunch of ponies jumped out of their hiding spots and shouted happy birthday.
“Thanks everypony.” Minra said smiling.
“Heh sorry for lying but are we still on for playing video games later?” Prince Nebula asked.
“Of coarse.” Minra said hoof bumping Prince Nebula
“Enough chattering, lets party, hit it DJ Pon 3!” Pinkie Pie shouted as Vynal Scratch turned on the music.
Minra went to garb some food as he was hungry when Pinkie Pie hoped to him.
“How’s the party?” Pinkie Pie asked when Minra noticed that she had some frosting on her face.
“It’s a great party but you kind of got some thing right there.” Minra said pointing to the frosting.
“Oops silly me but anyways happy birthday.” Pinkie Pie said in her usual cheerful manner.
“Thanks.” Minra said as he took a bite of some cake.
“No problem.” Pinkie Pie said smiling then hopped away.
“H-hi Minra h-hows the party?” Fluttershy asked.
“I love it.” Minra said hugging his marefriend.
Meanwhile Pinkie Pie was chatting with Lyra and Bon Bon when Lyra’s face changed from that of happiness to that of glee and shock. Lyra a mint green unicorn mare, with a white and pastel blue mane and tail, with gold yellow eyes and a lyre for a cutie mark and Bon Bon a pastel yellow earth pony mare a dark purple and pink mane and tail, she has turquoise eyes and three candies as her cutie mark.
“Oh colt here she goes.” Bon Bon said said with a sigh.
“Oh my gosh, oh my gosh, oh my gosh!” Lyra shouted causing everypony to turn to her as she ran to Minra taking him by surprise.
“Is it true you used to be human?” Lyra asked in excitement.
“How did you know?” Minra asked.
Pinkie told me, so is it true, what is it like, what do you eat, are you a quadruped?” Lyra asked.
“Yes it’s true, well humans have arms like an ape, we’re omnivores, and no we’re bipeds.” Minra responded while Lyra’s smile grew wider.
“You’ll have to excuse my friend, she’s well a big fanatic when it comes to humans.” Bon Bon said as she pulled Lyra away from Minra while Lyra protested.
“But Bon Bon, I need to learn more, humans are real and he’s the proof.” Lyra shouted while she flailed her front legs in the air.
“No you don’t now come on.” Bon Bon said in an annoyed manner.
Minra and Fluttershy giggled at the sight of a protesting Lyra.
“I do have one question, why is most of Ponyville here?” Minra asked.
“Well it’s because you’ve helped them in some way, whether it be foalsitting, running errands or simply making their day brighter you’ve helped in some way, like when you took care of my animal friends when I was sick or when you stopped Trixie’s runaway caravan.” Fluttershy said.
“Trixie has to admit, that was pretty cool of you.”
“Not to mention with you and your friends helped me go back to myself before I was possessed by that dark matter cloud.” Prince Nebula said.
“Not to mention when you saved my life two times.” Rainbow Dash chimed in.
“Despite what you might think you help everycreature.” Fluttershy said hugging Minra.
“Thanks.” Minra said hugging her back.
“No problem now lets dance.” Fluttershy said bringing her stallionfriend to the dance floor.
The party went on with Bon Bon trying to keep Lyra from bombarding Minra with more questions.
“But Bon Bon I need to know more, please.” Lyra begged.
“No leave him alone and that is final!” Bon Bon said while holding Lyra by her tail.
The party ended in a while and everypony went home. The only ones left were Minra, Fluttershy, Twilight, Rainbow Dash, Pinkie Pie, Applejack, Rarity, Spike, Prince Nebula and Starlight.
“Well I best be going, I don’t want my sisters to get worried.” Prince Nebula said.
“Okay, thanks for coming.” Minra responded.
“No problem, but we are still going to play video games soon right?” Prince Nebula asked.
“Of coarse.” Minra said as he waved to his new friend, then turned to the rest of his friends.
“This really is the best birthday, I’m glad I have all of you.” Minra said as he turned to his friends and smiled.
“No problem, we’ll just leave you to open your presents.” Twilight said as the eight of them walked out of them leaving Minra with the mountain of presents. Gulping Minra decided to go for the top then make his way down to the very bottom where the biggest where. Even though it took him several hours Minra was able to make at least a dent in the presents with there being more then he expected.
“Seems like it’s gonna take me a few days to get through all of these.” Minra thought o himself as he stopped for the night and cleaned up the wrappings that where on the floor. Some of the presents he had opened where comic books from Spike, some items he had gotten from the human world that Sunset had brought when she attended his birthday breakfast, some of the gifts were a CD from the Rainbooms that Twilight had burned a disk of some of their songs, another gift was a Canterlot High School jersey, with a signed soccer ball courtesy of Rainbow Dash among other things. There were also some Wonderbolt tickets that Rainbow Dash was able to get and a Wondercolt ticket. The gift that Prince Nebula had gotten him was an pre-ordered edition of a game that Minra had yet to buy, it came with all sorts of special items and missions that only the pre-ordered edition had. Minra soon walked out of the room only to find all his friends waiting.
“So what did ya get, have you gotten to mine yet?” Pinkie Pie asked.
“Well I got some stuff from Sunset and her friends, which consisted of a Wondercolt ticket, a CD of the Rainbooms, a Canterlot High school jersey and a signed soccer ball from the human world’s version of Rainbow Dash. I also got some comic books, a pre-ordered edition of a game from Prince Nebula, of coarse some Wondercolt tickets.” Minra replied.
“Aww you didn’t get to mine yet?” Pinkie Pie asked.
“I’m sorry but no I didn’t but don’t worry I will, there’s a ton of presents.” Minra said.
“Wait what are Wondercolts and why do they sound like Wonderbolts also what’s soccer?” Rainbow Dash asked.
“Well Wondercolts are Canterlot High’s mascot and as for soccer it’s a game played in the human world that’s sometimes called foot ball where the only people who are permeated to touch the ball with their hands are the goalies and the main goal is to kick the ball into the other team’s goal.” Minra explained.
“Also what are the Rainbooms?” Rainbow Dash asked.
“Well they’re a band that the human versions of you plus Sunset formed to originally win a music competition that was crashed by the Sirens.” Twilight explained.
The next day Minra opened more of his gifts some of which included a Daring Doo book, a radio, a pony version of the maid outfit that he wore when he was in the human world, and cowboy hat.
The Not so Averge Life of a Once Human Now Pony Named Minra
Minra's Dragon Pony Form Changes
Chapter Thirteen
Minra’s one year anniversary since coming to Equestria had come, and instead of a day that would make any pony else sad that they couldn’t go home this day marked the beginning of the life he had had begun a year ago and marked the last day in the life of his past which he would not give anything up for. Twilight thought that this day would be a reminder that he would never be able to go to his past life however when she saw the look on his face she knew instantly that she was wrong and greeted him with a warm smile and a hug which he happily accepted.
“Happy one-year-anniversary since being sent here.” Twilight said.
“Thanks, and I’m glad that I did, my life has been significantly better since coming here.” Minra said cheerfully.
“I’m glad.” Twilight said as she waved a hoof and trotted away.
“Minra walked to the park with radio, headphones and comic books in his saddlebag with some snacks that he would be willing to share with any critters that wanted a piece.
On the way there he received smiles and waves from the residents until he reached the park where he found a particularly nice shaded tree where he set his saddlebag, took out his radio, plugged in his headphones and proceeded to listen to the CD, and read that comic books he had gotten a month before. The songs on the CD were some of his favorite, some of which were great for reading action books, while others were just good because they simply were. Soon some critters came by, asking for a treat and once done eating they would snuggle up to Minra like he was their mother, and he soon found himself asleep. Fluttershy was walking by when she noticed the sight and let out a sequel and kissed Minra on the forehead, then trotted away. A while later Minra’s nap was interrupted by the feeling of the critters moving and fleeing in terror, when he looked up there was a beast coming towards him that looked to be made of stone but had some aspects of animals. It had the body of a dragon, the tail of a scorpion and the head of a bull. Minra quickly turned off the radio and packed his things then transformed into his dragon pony form knowing that a fight would ensue. Minra’s friends showed up much to his relief when Rainbow Dash asked what that thing was.
“I think that’s a gargoyle.” Twilight responded.
“But don’t they normally protect against evil spirits?” Minra asked.
“Yes normally they do but somehow I don’t think this one is here to fend off any evil spirits.” Twilight replied.
“In any case we might have a fight on our hooves.” Minra said as the gargoyle took to the skies and dive bombed the group.
“Get down!” Rainbow Dash shouted as the group ducked to evade the attack. The gargoyle let out a roar that sounded like a mix between a bull, and a dragon as it flew back around preparing for another attack which the group evaded.
“Well how do we defeat a gargoyle?” Rainbow Dash asked.
“To be honest I don’t know, I’ve never read anything about a gargoyle that went rouge.” Twilight replied.
“In any case the thing’s coming back.” Applejack said pointing a hoof at the stone creature.
The gargoyle dive bombed once more but this time it landed on the ground where it proceeded to charge the group when Minra stopped it by grabbing the gargoyle’s horns. The gargoyle let out the same roar as before and tried to shake Minra off but to no avail.
“Good, keep it in place.” Applejack said as she went to kick the gargoyle but only received a glare from it and a whack by the tail sending her several feet away.
“Applejack!” The group shouted as the gargoyle turned it’s attention to Minra and swatted him away which flung him into the very tree he was sitting under causing him to be knocked unconscious and reverted back to his earth pony form.
When Minra woke up Fluttershy was the only one who wasn’t taken out by the gargoyle, Fluttershy closed her eyes as the gargoyle roared and went to headbutt Fluttershy and in a blur of blue Fluttershy was pulled out of harms way by a now angry Minra. Fluttershy opened her eyes to see Minra in his dragon pony form but it looked different with Minra now having four horns, a head that was more of a cross between a dragon’s head and a pony’s head, more digitigrade legs, fangs, and a tail that that was longer with the pony tail being at the end. Along with his unicorn horn was a smaller horn in front of it and two horns behind his ears that were in the shape of the letter s. The gargoyle roared and lunged at the two ponies when Minra appeared in front of it and broke off one of the horns. The gargoyle screeched and tried to hit him with it’s tail but the attack was evaded by Minra who stabbed the gargoyle in the chest with the horn causing it to freeze instantly as the light drained from it’s eyes and cracks soon formed all over the body as the gargoyle crumbled into a pile of rocks where it once stood. The other’s that were knocked unconscious soon woke up to see Minra standing there looking at the pile of rocks.
“Minra is that you?” Twilight asked as Minra turned to face her and gave her a thumbs up with one of his claws, then he turned back to his earth pony form.
“What happened?” Twilight asked.
“Well I woke up to see all but Fluttershy unconscious when the gargoyle was about to attack her so I pulled her out of harms way then I broke off one of it’s horns and evaded an attack from it’s tail and stabbed it in the chest which caused the light to drain from it’s eyes and it to crumble into a pile of rocks.” Minra replied.
“I mean other than that, why did you have a more dragon shaped head, with a long tail that had your pony tail at the end, you had fangs, three more horns and more dragon like legs.” Twilight said.
“Oh that, I didn’t even notice that but are all of you alright?” Minra asked.
“I think so.” Rarity said holding her head.
“Me two.” Pinkie Pie said.
“Some rest should do me some good.” Applejack replied.
“I’m gonna need a serious nap after that, and hey where did the gargoyle go?” Rainbow Dash asked.
“I’m okay.” Starlight and Spike replied.
“Well that pile of rocks over by Minra, well that’s the gargoyle.” Twilight responded.
“But how did it turn into a pile of rocks?” Rainbow Dash asked.
Minra proceeded to tell them about what had happened after he woke up with Fluttershy, and Twilight backing up his claims.
“I think I’m gonna need a massage after that.” Rarity replied.
“Same, I though being thrown through a wall hurt but being thrown into a tree, that’s even worse.” Minra said as he rubbed his neck.
“Still what caused that gargoyle to go rouge like that?” Twilight thought to herself.
“Something the matter sugarcube?” Applejack asked.
“Oh it’s just that gargoyles wouldn’t attack unless provoked let alone creatures that aren't evil spirits.” Twilight replied.
“She’s right, even in my home world the gargoyles there were made to keep evil spirits away.” Minra added.
The group made sure each pony was okay and not seriously hurt which they weren’t. Applejack, Spike, Pinkie Pie and Rainbow Dash went home. Rarity went to the spa to get some of the stress from the event out of her system while Fluttershy made sure that the animals were okay. The two ponies left were Minra and Twilight, they were discussing what had just happened.
“I wonder why your dragon pony form had gotten some changes.” Twilight said as she picked up the pieces from the gargoyle.
“It might be because I’m getting stronger?” Minra suggested.
“That could be a possibility, your powers have been becoming more noticeable, especially the ones that you didn’t know you had.” Twilight replied.
“You’re right but anyway are you going to do with those?” Minra asked as he pointed to the rocks.
“Well I was going to see if I can find who or what caused this gargoyle to go rouge.” Twilight replied.
“That makes sense, well I’m going to help Fluttershy with the animals.” Minra said as he walked to Fluttershy.
“Okay, I’ll let you know if I find anything.” Twilight replied as she waved a hoof at Minra who promptly waved back.
A while later all the frightened animals were rounded up and brought to their homes after seeing if they were injured in anyway which they weren’t.
“Thanks for helping me Minra.” Fluttershy said as she let the last of the critters climb onto a nearby tree.
“No problem, I’m just glad they’re all safe.” Minra replied.
“Me too but you did look cute when you were asleep before the gargoyle attack.” Fluttershy said while blushing.
“Wh-what do you mean?” Minra asked as his face started turning red.
“Well I saw you fast asleep with all the critters snuggled up against you.” Fluttershy said cheerfully.
The two of them chatted as they walked to Fluttershy’s cottage where Minra stayed the night. The two of them woke up to find a note on her door which was an invitation to a party in Sugarcube Corner that was for Minra as a make up party for the day before when the party was to originally take place but because of the attack by the gargoyle the party had to be pushed to the next day due to everypony including Minra being either doing research or exhausted and for most of them it was the latter even Pinkie Pie who would normally never push a party date until later did this time even though she was normally as energetic as a puppy in a room filled with dog toys and treats how because of what happened she was exhausted. Not wanting to miss a party thrown by Pinkie Pie, let alone one that was for him. The two ponies left a while later giving them enough time to chat as they walked to the party and still making it with about ten minutes to spare. This time only half of the town’s population was at the party but it was still enough to practically fill up the bakery.
The Not so Averge Life of a Once Human Now Pony Named Minra
The Wondercolt Soccer Game
Chapter Fourteen
Minra’s friends gathered in the library as he made sure he had his ticket, and the jersey that he was given on his birthday. After making sure he had everything Minra hugged his friends and walked through the portal to the human world where he was greeted by his human world friends, Principal Celestia and her sister Vice Principal Luna. Despite the last time he visited the human world he was not thrown out of the portal but came out with a superhero landing.
“What did you think of our gifts?” Sunset asked.
“They were great.” Minra replied.
“Yea whatever what did you think of our music?” Rainbow Dash asked enthusiastically.
“Kidding me it’s the best music ever.” Minra responded as human Twilight asked if anything new happened in the pony world.
“Well there was a gargoyle attack, my dragon pony form has undergone a few changes and well other then that nothing really.” Minra replied.
“What do you mean a gargoyle attack?” Sunset asked.
“Well, I was napping in Ponyville’s park listening to the CD you gave me when a gargoyle attacked, and yes I know they normally attack evil spirits but this one was like a rouge one but anyway thanks for inviting me.” Minra responded.
“Oh it’s no problem however would you like to be part of the opening ceremony?” Principal Celestia asked.
“What do you mean?” Minra asked.
“Well we were wondering if you would stand in the middle of the field and shoot fire in the sky like a fountain?” Vice Principal Luna asked.
“Oh sure, so when’s the game?” Minra asked.
“It’s in a couple of weeks.” Twilight replied.
“I hope that isn’t to far away?” Sunset asked.
“Oh okay and don’t worry it isn’t.” Minra replied.
“Good now come on, show us your dragon human form to see if it’s received any changes.” Rainbow Dash said excitedly.
“Uh okay.” Minra responded as he set down the bag that was his saddle bags and focused as he changed into his dragon-human form. It was basically the same as his dragon pony form except more humanoid. He grew three new horns, his head morphed into a human dragon hybrid, with digitigrade legs and a dragon pony tail hybrid.
“That looks so…incredibly fantastically awesome!” Rainbow Dash shouted.
“When did you get that those new changes?” Twilight asked.
“Well it was when my friends and I were fighting that gargoyle that I told you about, it knocked me unconscious by throwing me against a tree and when I woke all but Fluttershy was conscious and well the gargoyle was gonna attack her and I guess that’s when I got the new changes.” Minra explained as he reverted back to his base form.
“Okay that’s enough, now go back to class, Minra you still remember your classes right?” Principal Celestia asked.
“Yea.” Minra responded.
“Okay good, I notified your teachers about your return so you better get going and incase you forgot your way around the school, you have the same classes as Sunset so she’ll show you around if you need it.” Vice Principal Luna said smiling.
Minra and Sunset walked to their classroom where they were greeted by a cherry pink teacher named Ms. Cheerilee who has dark reddish pink hair, who has green eyes, who wore a brown vest with a white collared shirt with a green skirt that has flowers on it and knee high brown boots.
“Hello Minra, glad your back.” Ms. Cheerilee said smiling.
“Thanks but it’ll only be for a couple of weeks.” Minra responded as Ms. Cheerilee motioned him to sit in the empty seat next to Sunset.
Classes went by as usual until it was lunch where upon sitting down with his friends Applejack asked how his first day back for a couple of weeks was going.
“It’s going good.” Minra responded as a winter green girl with dark green hair and brown eyes walked over, she wore a sand yellow and brown striped sweater with sand blue jeans.
“Hi may I join you?” The girl asked.
“Of coarse, Minra this is Wallflower Blush, Wallflower Blush this is Minra.” Sunset said introducing the two as Minra waved.
“H-how did you get that scar?” Wallflower asked when Minra almost spit out the food he was chewing.
“He doesn’t like to talk about it.” Sunset told Wallflower.
“Oh okay, sorry I asked.” Wallflower said giving off an apologetic look.
Minra managed to swallow his food and replied with. “Don’t worry about it.”
“Oh okay, so um...what do you like to do for fun?” Wallflower asked.
“Well I like to draw, read graphic novels and play video games.” Minra replied.
“Cool.” Wallflower said.
“What about you?” Minra asked.
“I like to garden and tend to plants.” Wallflower responded.
“So Minra do you want to here about this awesome trick I pulled off?” Rainbow Dash asked.
“Please, it wasn’t that amazing.” Applejack responded as the two started arguing. Wallflower leaned to Minra and asked if that was normal for them.
“It is.” Minra responded as the two bickering girls soon laughed it off.
“So what brings you back to CHS?” Wallflower asked.
“Well it’s to see the an upcoming game.” Minra responded.
“Why?” Wallflower asked.
“Well I got the ticket as a birthday present and it would be pretty rude of me to not attend not to mention I would of attended if I knew when it was.” Minra responded.
“Speaking of which, what kind of sports game is it?” Minra asked Rainbow Dash.
“It’s soccer and we’re playing against the Griffons of Griffstone.” Rainbow Dash said enthusiastically.
“Yea RD and Gilda have been rivals since they were little and they one day promised to beat the other in a sport at least that’s what she told me, I’ve never actually have met her.” Applejack explained.
“Oh okay and I better get going, I have to practice with the opening crew.” Minra said as he went to the soccer field.
“Me too.” Pinkie Pie said as she ran after Minra.
“Wait you’re part of the opening crew?” Minra asked.
“Technically yes, but I’m a cheerleader, so we’re part of the opening crew.” Pinkie Pie explained.
“You know that shouldn’t surprise me but it does.” Minra said.
“I know.” Pinkie Pie responded as the two of them walked to the field.
Meanwhile the rest of Minra and Pinkie Pie’s friends sat at their table chatting.
“What does he mean he has to practice with the opening crew?” Wallflower asked Sunset.
“Well Principal Celestia asked him to be part of the opening ceremony with him being in the middle of the field and spewing blue flames in the sky.” Sunset explained.
“Spew blue flames, what do you mean?” Wallflower asked.
“Well he can transform into a human dragon hybrid, this form allows him to shoot blue fire, along with various other abilities.” Twilight replied.
“Yea it’s different from when we go into our pony up forms because he changes colors, grows horns, wings, a tail, digitigrade legs, and claws.” Applejack chimed in.
“Oh uh okay.” Wallflower replied
“Yea but this time I’m gonna defeat Gilda!” Rainbow Dash said confidently.
The six of them chatted until lunch was over where it was now time for the last couple of classes of the day when Minra walked into the classroom that all his friends were in. The time there went by when Rainbow Dash asked Minra if and Wallflower if they want to join them for a sleep over at Pinkie Pie’s house. To which Minra agreed he will go with a bit of reluctance in his voice.
“Great, we’ll play Ultra Plumber Trolley on my Us Me along with other games, we can tell spooky storied and we can order pizza!” Pinkie Pie said excitedly.
“Good luck, no body beats me in that game.” Rainbow Dash exclaimed.
“Except for the time I beet ya.” Applejack added.
“I told you the controller’s batteries died.” Rainbow Dash said.
“Yea sure they did.” Applejack replied with a wink and a smirk.
All of them laughed as the bell rung signaling that school was over where they waved at each-other then went home until it was time for the sleep over at Pinkie Pie’s house. Sunset knocked on the door when a medium stone gray girl with lavender hair, with aqua eyes, who wore a dark teal dress with a black belt in the middle with dark teal knee high boots that has lavender bows on it and had a lavender bracelet on her right arm.
“Pinkie your friends are here.” The girl said in her monotone voice when a shout of joy was heard from across the house and the next thing the group knew Pinkie Pie was standing in front of them bearing a huge smile.
“Hiya everyone I’m glad you can make it, come on in.” Pinkie Pie said.
“Thanks Pinkie.” Minra said him as his friends walked in.
“Oh and before I forget, Maud this is Minra and Wallflower Blush, Minra Wallflower this is my big sister Maud Pie.” Pinkie Pie said introducing her sister.
“It’s nice to meet you and this is Boulder, he’s my pet rock.” Maud said.
“H-hi.” Minra said as Wallflower waved.
“Enough chatter, lets go play some Plumber Trolley.” Rainbow Dash said as she darted to Pinkie Pie’s room.
“Well what are we waiting for lets go.” Pinkie Pie said as the group went ti her room.
“Alright who’s willing to get beat by me?” Rainbow Dash said holding up three extra controllers.
“Like you can beat me.” Applejack said.
“I wanna play!” Pinkie Pie shouted.
“Okay who’s the last player?” Rainbow Dash asked as Minra took the last controller.
“Me!” Minra said confidently.
The players chose their characters and made their trolleys. The game count down from three to zero when it was time to race. The rest of the friends watched in amazement as Rainbow Dash and Applejack, the two best players of this game at CHS were being slaughtered by Minra and Pinkie Pie. Applejack and Rainbow Dash gave up until it was only Minra and Pinkie Pie left. It was best four out of five with each round being a different map than the one before. Minra and Pinkie Pie’s friends were in shock at the two remaining players. The two soon found themselves in a tie with the last round being the hardest map in the game. The rest of their friends were watching in anticipation as Pinkie Pie was about ten inches away from the finish line when a red shield came from Minra who was just inches behind her causing her to fly into the air as Minra crossed the finish line, taking his victory.
“Ah poo, oh well who wants pizza?” Pinkie Pie asked her friends.
“Me!” Minra said raising his hand in the air.
“I can go for some.” Sunset replied.
“Sure.” Rainbow Dash said.
“I-I would like some.” Fluttershy and Wallflower replied.
“I’ll order some, so what would everyone like?” Twilight asked.
“I want salami with olives, and ghost peppers.” Minra replied.
“Wait, did you say ghost peppers as in one of the spiciest peppers in the world?” Rainbow Dash asked.
“Yea, why?” Minra replied.
“Well it’s just that most people can’t even handle the heat that ghost peppers give off.” Rainbow Dash said.
“It’s never really affected me.” Minra replied.
“Bu-but how?” Rainbow Dash asked as Minra shrugged.
“I don’t know how either, I just found out when I was dared by the pony version of you to eat a whole ghost pepper, so when I did I felt no reaction what so ever, in fact it actually tasted sweet.” Minra explained.
“I-I’m not even gonna figure how.” Rainbow Dash said.
“Well anyway what else would anyone like?” Twilight asked.
“I w-want a vegetarian pizza.” Fluttershy said.
“Pepperoni and sausage for me.” Rainbow Dash said.
“What about the rest of you?” Twilight asked.
“I’ll have a cheese pizza.” Pinkie Pie said.
“Same, m-me too.” Sunset and Wallflower chimed in.
“What about you Rarity?” Twilight asked.
“I’ll have a salad.” Rarity said.
“Okay.” Twilight said as she dialed up Cumulative’s Pizza.
“Okay they’ll be here in twenty, so what do you wanna do now?” Twilight asked.
“We can play...Isa.” Pinkie Pie said as she pulled out a pack of Isa cards out of her hair.
“How did she do that?” Wallflower asked Sunset.
“I find it best not to question it.” Sunset responded.
The group played Isa for the time while they waited for their food, with none of them getting to the last card in their hands when Pinkie Pie’s door bell rung.
“Pizza’s here!” Pinkie Pie shouted.
“Finally, I’m starving.” Rainbow Dash added.
“Don’t worry I got it, Minra do you want to help?” Twilight asked as she got up.
“Sure.” Minra replied as he stood up and walked with Twilight to get the pizza.
Soon after paying for the food Minra went back to Pinkie Pie’s room where Minra and Twilight proceeded to pass out the food. While they ate the group played more of Isa. Most of them finished their pizza because they most of them were smalls except for the cheese pizza which was a medium as to accommodate for the three people sharing it. After that Minra went to Pinkie Pie’s bathroom to change into his pajamas then waited outside of the room to let his friends change into their pajamas. After a while Sunset opened the door to let Minra back in to the room where they proceeded to tell ghost stories, soon after everyone was starting to get sleepy so they decided it was time to go to sleep. The next day Minra stepped out of Pinkie Pie’s bedroom once more to change into his regular clothes and to allow his friends to change as well.
The week went on with Minra, Pinkie Pie and Rainbow Dash practicing for the upcoming soccer game. Upon the day of the soccer game between Canterlot High School and Griffstone High School, the Griffstone School bus arrived at Canterlot High with the first one off the bus was an old man who was mostly bald with some hair left, with an eye that had a scar going through it, he wore a fez and a rather old looking suit, he held a cane in his hand. After him was the Griffstone soccer team’s coach. He was caramel, who was fairly well built and had milk chocolate eyes. Then followed was Griffstone's soccer team, one of which was a girl who is eggshell white in color One of which was a girl who is eggshell white in color with snow white hair that ended in lavender tips and has flame yellow eyes, the one next to her was a medium stone gray girl with sand blue hair tied into a pony tail, she has teal eyes.
“Principal Gruff it’s so nice to see you again.” Principal Celestia told the old man.
“Yea what ever, listen here hatchlings, I’m giving you half an hour to rest, use the bathroom, or what ever, just meet Coach Gaston and I at this spot, got it.” Principal Gruff said as he let out a cough.
“Students, please make Griffstone’s soccer team feel at home Principal Celestia said.
“Sup Dash it’s been a while.” The eggshell white girl said as she fist bumped Rainbow Dash.
“It certainly has been a while however this game is going to decide who is better.” Rainbow Dash replied.
“Yea, and we all know it’s going to be me.” Gilda said.
“Yea right, and Gilda this is Twilight Sparkle, Fluttershy, Pinkie Pie, Wallflower Blush, Sunset Shimmer, Rarity, Applejack and Minra, him and Pinkie Pie are going to be in the opening ceremony.” Rainbow Dash said.
“Hey nice scar, how’d you get it?” Gilda asked.
“It’s a personal story, one that I’d rather not talk about.” Minra explained.
“Well whatever, come on Dash we should catch up.” Gilda replied.
“Away from these dweebs.” Gilda muttered to herself.
“Sure thing, later.” Rainbow Dash said as she waved at her friends.
“Is it me or does Gilda seem a little bit off to you?” Minra asked his friends.
“It’s definitely not you, she’s like that unfortunately just about everyone at GHS is like that.” The medium stone gray girl responded as she walked to the group.
“Oh uh sorry.” Minra replied now regretting what he just said.
“Don’t be, my name’s Gabby it’s nice to meet you.” Gabby responded.
The group introduced each other and chatted until it was time for the beginning of the game. Where Minra’s friends except for Pinkie Pie and Rainbow Dash. At the end of the ceremony Minra appeared in the field and transformed into his dragon human form then spewed blue flames in the air. After that was over the students who were in the opening ceremony ran off to the field to allow The Wondercolts and The Griffons to enter the field. The two representatives, Rainbow Dash and Gilda went to the middle of the field where the referee was, she held a coin in her hand and then flipped the coin. The coin landed heads side up.
“The Wondercolts take the kickoff!” The referee shouted as she blew her whistle and gave the soccer ball to the Wondercolts, than ran off to the side of the field.
The first half of the soccer game went on for about forty-five minutes until it was half time where Canterlot High School’s marching band preformed along with their school’s cheerleaders.
“I’m gonna get something to eat, want anything?” Minra asked his friends.
“A Giggles candy bar for me.” Sunset said.
“I’m good.” Fluttershy replied.
“Can y'all get me a slice of apple pie please?” Applejack asked.
“I want a slice of Pizza.” Twilight responded.
“I’m fine, thanks but can you get me a bottle of water please?” Wallflower asked.
“Me to darling.” Rarity added.
“Okay I’ll be right back.” Minra said as he left for the snack bar.
Minra came back with several bottle of water, a Giggles candy bar, a slice of pizza, a slice of apple pie and a pretzel. After he got back he handed out the items that he had bought for his friends and once that was done he sat down. Half time soon ended and the two teams switched sides as Griffstone got the ball this time after winning the coin toss. By the last thirty seconds of the game both teams were tied with twenty points each. The Wondercolts were taking the ball to the Griffon’s side when a girl on the Wondercolts team was running with the ball as three Griffon players were catching up behind her then suddenly Gilda showed up in front of her.
“Over here?” Rainbow Dash shouted as the girl kicked the ball to her.
“Go, do it, win this!” Everyone who was supporting the Wondercolts shouted as Rainbow Dash kicked the ball in a way some one who knew karate would do a kick and with a small boom the ball flew into the goal of the Griffons right before the clock hit zero.
With a characteristic ding that goes off when a point is scored. Just about everyone in the audience shouted, screamed and cheered in delight and joy at the fact that the Wondercolts had won the game. Half time came and during this time Rainbow Dash’s friends walked over and congratulated her. During this time Gilda walked over to the now celebrating friends.
“Hey, that was a pretty sick move you id back there.” Gilda said.
“It was nothing.” Rainbow Dash said pridefully.
“I guess this means you’re officially the best.” Gilda said.
“Yep, I already knew that, but you weren’t so bad your self.” Rainbow Dash responded.
“Thanks, well I better get going otherwise Principal Gruff will leave without me, see ya.” Gilda said.
“Alright, catch ya later.” Rainbow Dash responded.
Later that night the group decided to celebrate with a pizza party at Coinky-Dink World, where they ordered pizza, hamburgers and nachos. The next day Minra waved at his friends as he went through the portal back to Equestria, where all his friends where waiting.
“Hiya Minra, how was your stay in the human world, and who won?” Twilight asked.
“Well it was great, my human world friends plus a girl named Wallflower Blush and I had a sleepover where we played video games, ordered pizza and told scary stories. Also The Wondercolts won the game, it was so awesome, at the last few seconds of the game Rainbow Dash literately did a karate type kick into the goal.” Minra explained.
“Cool so who were they playing against?” Rainbow Dash asked.
“Oh they played against a school called Griffstone, though there was a girl there who was friends with that version of Rainbow Dash, she was named Gilda.” Minra said.
“Oh her cool, so she’s not an animal like a dog in the human world.” Rainbow Dash said.
“So what games did you play?” Pinkie Pie asked.
“Well we played a game called Isa and Applejack, you, Rainbow Dash and I played a game called Ultra Plumber Trolley for the Us Me.” Minra said.
“So did I win?” Rainbow Dash asked.
“On the contrary you were the first one to loose, then it was Applejack, Pinkie Pie and I.” Minra explained.
“It sounds like you had a lot of fun.” Starlight said.
“Yea it was actually pretty fun.” Minra said.
“So any, monster or bad guy attacks?” Twilight asked.
“Nope, except I found out that the changes to my dragon pony form carried over to the human world as well.” Minra explained.
“Enough chat, lets go and get some ice cream.” Applejack said as the group went to get some ice cream.
The Not so Averge Life of a Once Human Now Pony Named Minra
Chapter Fifteen
Minra was sitting in Twilight’s library quietly reading some comic books with Spike and Prince Nebula when the portal to the human world activated startling everyone. The three of them exchanged glances as a stallion walked out of the portal. He was an earth pony who was bright green with two different colored eyes, on was black while the other was red, he has a gray mane and tail with a black pony head with a red mane and a flame yellow eye for a cutie mark. Minra, Spike and Prince Nebula exchanged confused looks when Spike spoke up.
“Uh who are you?”
“Names Emblade, and you’re ashes!” He said as he transformed into a dragon pony form that was similar to Minra’s except he was mostly red with some black spots, he had the same number of horns except the two behind his ears were curved in such a way so that they where the points were facing the front, under his wings was flame yellow as his eyes were as well, and his mane and tail were now charcoal black.
With a flash of sand red magic Prince Nebula shielded Minra, Spike and himself from a black fireball that was shot by Emblade. Twilight soon came in because she heard a blast that came from her library, when she burst in she saw a magic bubble around Minra, Spike and Prince Nebula with holding the bubble, on the other end was Emblade, but to her was someone who was similar to Minra in abilities but was at the point an enemy. Emblade turned to Twilight and prepared another attack but this time directed at her, with a flash of blue light Minra tackled him before he could fire.
“Heh, I see you’re the same as me, well this will be interesting.” Emblade said with a smirk.
“Who are you, what do you want?” Minra asked.
“I all ready told you kid, and well it’s none of your business so if you would kindly get off of me.” Emblade said as he shot a fireball at Minra hitting him at point blank range sending him flying into the school down below.
The residents of Ponyville looked at Twilight’s castle in surprise as they heard an explosion and saw smoke coming from the side of the castle. Meanwhile the students of the School of Friendship rushed over to Minra after witnessing a blue blur getting flung into the school with enough force to cause part of the school to collapse.
“What was that?” Gallus asked as him and his friends approached the rubble only for it to be moved out of the way by a now angry Minra who emerged form the rubble and shot into the air, flying back into the room that he was shot out of and with a kick of his fore-claws Minra grabbed Emblade and proceeded to ram him through the castle until the two of them reached the opposite end where Emblade struck Minra on the back with his fore-claws releasing him and causing Minra to fall to the ground causing a loud thud and an earthquake.
“Is that the best you got!” Emblade shouted as he was about to shoot a fire ball at Minra when violet and sand red magic bolts came from the castle where Minra saw Twilight and Prince Nebula flying to him.
“Just try and stop me!” Emblade shouted as he shot a fireball at the two which had hit Prince Nebula, sending him crashing all the way in to the throne room of his sister’s castle.
“Prince Nebula!” Twilight shouted.
Princess Celestia, Princess Luna and some royal guards ran over to see what had happened.
“Dear brother are thou alright?” Princess Luna asked.
“Yea but we need to send reinforcements to Ponyville right now.” Prince Nebula told his sisters.
“Why is Ponyville in danger?” Princess Celestia asked.
“Definitely, when Minra, Spike and I were reading some comic books a stallion appeared out of the human world portal, he called himself Emblade and he has the same powers as Minra.” Prince Nebula explained.
“All right, guards send fifty reinforcements to Ponyville!” Princess Celestia shouted in her Royal Canterlot Voice.
Meanwhile back in Ponyville, Twilight shot a particularly large magic bolt that had made contact with Emblade. From the smoke came a chuckle then a fireball, however Twilight had shout a magic bolt of her own which caused an explosion sending the two flying in opposite directions. Twilight landed in her castle while Emblade landed in town square mere feat from three fillies.
“Are you okay?” Sweetie Bell asked.
The dust cleared revealing Emblade who was glaring at the three, then proceed to charge up an attack when Minra tackled Emblade.
“Run, it isn’t safe here!” Minra shouted as the CMC crew listened.
Emblade was able to get Minra off and then flew into the air were Minra followed.
“Why are you doing this?” Minra asked as the two circled each-other.
“Well since you’re so fixated on this then I guess I have no choice but to tell you, I’m doing this because I want to!” Emblade said as he started shooting his black flames from his mouth.
Minra replied with flames of his own. The two shot flames at each-other until punched each-other in the head sending them both flying to the opposite sides of Ponyville. The two then flew so low to the ground at such speed that it kicked up dust and knocked over carts, the two proceeded to punch each-other until Minra got one good punch in where he sent Emblade flying through several buildings such as Ponyville’s spa, Lyra and Bon Bon’s house and Sugarcube Corner. Minra and Emblade swung at each-other and eventually jumped a distance back and shot fireballs at each-other which caused a massive explosion. Meanwhile Twilight was trying to help any injured when Starlight, Applejack and friends showed up asking what was happening, and with no words Twilight pointed a hoof at the two ponies fighting.
“Who in the hay is that?” Applejack asked.
“I have no clue, all I know was that I heard an explosion in my library so when I went to go and check it out I saw who ever that red and black pony is smirking at Minra, Spike and Prince Nebula.” Twilight replied.
Without a second thought Rainbow Dash flew high into the air and proceeded to dive so fast that she created a Rain-boom which she tried to use the momentum of to get a good punch to Emblade’s face, however he evaded the attack, grabbed the leg and tossed her away.
“Rainbow Dash!” Minra shouted.
“Focus on the pony in front of you.” Emblade said as he punched Minra square in the jaw with a flame powered punch sending him flying several miles away.
Soon the royal guard showed up along with Princess Celestia, Princess Luna, and Prince Nebula.
“Seize him!” Luna commanded as the guards dog-piled onto Emblade.
With a burst of black flame the guards were sent flying in every direction. A loud boom that sounded like that of a gunshot was heard and when everypony turned to see what had made the noise they saw Minra flying to them with a full grown Red Wood tree in his claws. With a whack Minra knocked Emblade through the sky, with a couple more thrusts and hits the tree was all but a stump at this point, however when Minra threw the log at Emblade it exploded with one hit from one of Emblade’s fireballs. However Minra emerged from the smoke punching him in the air then he grabbed Emblade’s tail and flung him to Twilight’s castle where Minra proceeded to grab a hold of him once more and flew him into the human world. There they flew out much to everyone’s surprise, the two proceeded to have a dogfight in the sky. With a spin of his body mid air Emblade transformed into his full on dragon form and upon final finding out how to transform into his full on dragon form, Minra did the same however his full on dragon form had the same changes as his human dragon form. The two fought in the sky trading fire and punches which ended when Emblade threw Minra into the Canterlot High causing most of the front of the school to collapse or severely destroyed, there Emblade landed reverting back to his human dragon hybrid form and broke off a particularly long piece of plumbing where he started heating up the jagged end with his hand as he walked to Minra who was now back in his human dragon form as well.
“You know, I’m going to enjoy making your death as painful as possible.” Emblade told Minra and much to everyone’s shock and horror Emblade jabbed the now scorching end of the pipe into Minra’s chest however, he did it slowly, causing Minra to scream in agony.
Minra coughed up blood as he tried to pull the pipe from his chest to no avail.
“Yo-you’re a monster.” Minra said as blood started running down his cheeks.
“Oh no, no, no I just enjoy the pain of others but you know I’ll let you in on a secret.” Emblade replied as Minra’s vision started getting hazy.
“What is it?” Minra asked.
“I’m the one who sent the Draugr, I’m the one who sent Zontro, and I’m the one responsible for that gargoyle attack, but anyway look at you, all alone, as you have always been and always will be.” Emblade chuckled.
“That’s where you’re wrong.” Minra replied with a cough.
"Oh really like what?” Emblade asked mockingly.
“He has friends!” Someone shouted as a blur punched Emblade causing him to take a few steps back, and when he looked up he saw Minra’s human friends, Twilight, Applejack, Rarity, Rainbow Dash, Fluttershy, Sunset, and Pinkie Pie standing there with their arms crossed.
“Heh who ever punched me, that was almost a good one, almost.” Emblade said wiping some blood off his cheek.
“Let our friend go!” Sunset demanded.
“Fine, he only has a few minutes left, besides I have new playthings.” Emblade replied as he flew into the air.
The seven soon transformed into their pony up forms.
“What’s that supposed to do scare me?” Emblade joked.
“Applejack, Fluttershy go and see if Minra is alive, the rest of us will distract him.” Sunset told her friends.
“Will do.” Applejack replied as her and Fluttershy ran to Minra while the rest fought Emblade.
“Light em up ladies!” Pinkie Pie shouted as she threw sprinkles at Emblade.
“What is that supp-” Emblade was saying when the sprinkles exploded.
“Sugarcube are you okay?” Applejack asked Minra, he was barley alive though she could hear him trying to say something among all the blood in his mouth.
“Can’t...heal..need...pipe...chest.” Minra said as the light started draining from his eyes.
“I think he’s saying that we need to take that pipe out of his chest.” Fluttershy said.
“I hope you’re right, but you might want to look away.” Applejack said as she grabbed onto the pipe and yanked it out of the unresponsive Minra.
“Applejack.” Fluttershy said as she started crying causing Applejack to cover her face with her hat.
However unknown to them Minra’s wound was now starting to heal and after a few minutes Applejack and Fluttershy heard a gasp coming from Minra. When they looked they saw him sitting up breathing heavily.
“You’re alive, but how that shouldn’t be possible?” Applejack asked.
“Being the element of self-sacrifice gives me regeneration, now if you’ll excuse me I have a villain to defeat.” Minra said as he stood up and launched himself into the air.
Noticing all the smiles around him Emblade turned to see what was causing their smiles only to be met by Minra who was alive and flying in the air.
“H-how I thought I killed you?” Emblade asked.
“You would’ve succeeded if it wasn’t for my friends, now I think it’s time for you to learn your lesson.” Minra said as he blocked a punch from Emblade, he then responded with a punch of his own that made direct contact with Emblade’s nose causing it to break and sending him flying.
Emblade soon recovered and shot a fireball at Minra only for it to be stopped by Minra’s hand which he returned it back to sender. Minra went on the offensive and started throwing punches in every direction until he knocked Emblade to the ground. Minra soon landed when Emblade made a final attempt to hit Minra but was knocked out by a well placed punch to the gut. With a flash of red light Emblade reverted back to his human form that was the same colors as his pony form except he wore a now torn hoodie that had his cutie mark embedded on it, with black jeans and red sneakers. Emblade collapsed onto the grown with a small thud. Minra also reverted back to his human form where his clothes were covered in holes from the fight with two of the holes one of which was where he was stabbed and the second one was where the pipe came through but unlike his now incapacitated foe he held his fist in the air, where upon seeing this everyone cheered. After receiving hugs and thank yous from the students and staff Minra apologized to Principal Celestia and Vice Principal Luna who promptly held out their hands and told him they were just glad no student or staff member got hurt.
“Well I should probably get this guy back to Equestria.” Minra said as he waved at his friends and dragged Emblade through the portal.
When he came out the other end of the portal everypony was waiting anxiously. Minra threw the unconscious Emblade on the ground in front of him. All his friends tackled him while some royal guards arrested Emblade by putting him under a spell that wouldn’t allow him to use his abilities.
“Guess who’s the one who sent the Draugr, Zontro and that Gargoyle?” Minra said.
“Who?” Twilight replied.
“Our unconscious friend here.” Minra said as he motioned to Emblade.
“Well done Minra, we’ll have him sent to Tartar-us.” Princess Celestia said.
“Thanks but I can’t rake all the credit, my friends did help.” Minra replied.
“That is true.” Princess Celestia said smiling.
When Emblade woke up he found himself in some sort of cage in Tartar-us. Later after all the damages were fixed there was a party held by Pinkie Pie in Twilight’s castle.
“You know, I’ve been meaning to ask you this but what happened in the human world?” Twilight asked Minra.
“Well after Emblade and I went through the portal, we continued fighting in the sky where he threw me into the school then stabbed me with a piece of plumbing that he broke off, then Sunset, the human versions of you, Rainbow Dash, Pinkie Pie, Applejack, Rarity, and Fluttershy intervened, most of them attacked Emblade while Applejack and Fluttershy rushed over to me where I was literately on the brink of death when Applejack yanked the pipe out of me which caused my regeneration ability to start up again and well I fought Emblade some more however the only one at that time who was getting hit was him and well I knocked him unconscious and well you know the rest.” Minra explained.
The CMC crew walked up to Minra and thanked him for saving their lives to which he replied with it was nothing.
The Not so Averge Life of a Once Human Now Pony Named Minra
Chapter One
My name is Minra, and I was a brown haired, blue eyed, twenty-two year old human male that changed one morning when I was asleep and a portal had opened up and flung me into another world where I landed in a forest and instead of humans it was filled with talking animals, and when the portal sent me it also changed me into a pony with white fur, a brown mane and tail, with blue eyes and a dragon shaped cutey mark, however he had also gotten a powers form that turned his fur azure, his eyes green, his mane and tail dark blue, a unicorn horn, claws, and dragon wings that were also dark blue but green underneath along with the ability to shoot blue fire out of his mouth.
“Man that was some dream I had”, after Minra went to hold his head he had realized that his hand was no longer a hand but a hoof and when looking in a nearby puddle he had screamed in shock and fear, witch had attracted a certain predator of the forest, timber wolves however they weren’t the only thing he had attracted, the other creatures he had attracted were a group of three ponies.
“Twilight I’ll search above”
“Good idea Rainbow Dash, Applejack and I will search on hoof.”
“Found him, he’s just above in that clearing, surrounded by timber wolves” Applejack told Twilight.
“Easy, I’ll just fly through them”
“Rainbow wait” Twilight and Applejack shouted at the same time but it was already too late Rainbow Dash had already flown through them.
“See I told you it was easy”
“The problem with that is they can merge into one big timber wolf.”
Graaaa! The Timber wolves had merged into one big timber wolf.
“Guys what do we do now?” Applejack asked her friends.
Just then a pebble had hit the timber wolf’s back.
“Hey, leave them alone” Minra had thrown the pebble to get the timber wolf’s attention.
The timber wolf turned around and let out a menacing growl.
“I said leave them alone!” Minra shouted so loud it sent the birds flying, and when he shouted his eye’s turned green and his white fur turned azure, his mane and tail dark blue, his hoofs turned into claws, he grew dragon wings that were dark blue and green and a horn on his head. Minra slowly rose in the air flapping his wings like it was second nature and when the timber wolf lunged at him he set it ablaze with blue fire that reduced the timber wolf to ash. Then as suddenly as Minra changed he had reverted back to his earth pony form and passed out.
“Ever seen anything about that Twilight?” Applejack asked.
“No nothing of the sort and none of my books mention anything about this type of thing except for a legend, but we should probably take him to the castle before anything else comes.”
“Yea good idea, Rainbow Dash help me get him on my back”
“Fine’ Rainbow Dash said annoyingly.
After arriving at Twilight’s castle and plopping Minra on her bed, Spike came walking in yawning, apparently he had been taking a nap.
“What’s going on and Twilight who’s that?” Spike asked in a dazed state.
“We found him in the Everfree forest surrounded by timber wolves when Rainbow Dash tried to destroy them by flying through them”
“Sorry, I didn’t know” Rainbow Dash chimed in.
“Anyway when she did that they merged into one big timber wolf, but then this pony threw a pebble at it and transformed."
“Like how?
“Well his fur, eyes and mane changed color and he grew dragon wings, a unicorn horn and claws also he breathed blue fire”
“Yea, It was so cool!” Rainbow Dash exclaimed excitedly.
“Hm, that does sound pretty cool” Spike said.
“So Twilight you said something about a legend, mind telling us what it is?” Applejack asked.
“Sure, Spike can you please fetch me Equestria Myths and Legends volume eight...that was fast?” Twilight said.
“What I was reading it last night.”
“Whatever,” Twilight said as she flipped through the pages in the book.
“Got it, okay the legend says The Seventh from afar, mark of dragon they will wear, normal they may seem but inside something special, look his cutey mark is the same as the symbol in the picture.” Twilight read from the book.
“Wha-what happened, were am I?” Minra said as he opened his eyes and upon seeing Twilight a lavender colored alicorn with purple eyes, mane, tail, a magenta stripe going down her mane and her tail with one big star and several smaller stars as her cutie mark, Applejack an orange earth pony with a yellow mane and tail with blue eyes, freckles, she wore a cowboy hat on her head and has three apples as her cutie mark, Rainbow Dash a blue pegasis with a rainbow mane and tail, magenta eyes and a cloud with a rainbow lightning bolt as her cutie mark and Spike a purple baby dragon who stands on two feet, can talk, has wings and could talk. Spike has green spikes, under belly, eyes and fins hon his head with a forked tail, Minra screamed.
“Calm down, it’s alright your safe here, my name is Princess Twilight Sparkle and these are my friends, Applejack, SPike and Rainbow Dash." Twilight said.
“Howdy.” Applejack said.
“Sup” Rainbow Dash said
“Hey” Spike replied.
"You’re in Ponyville.” Twilight said.
“Now do you mind telling us what happened and why you were in the Everfree forest?” Twilight asked curiously.
“Well first of all I wasn’t a pony, I think, but I was a human.” Minra said.
“Yea I’m not buying it and besides what’s a human?” Rainbow Dash said in skepticism.
“Rainbow Dash, be nice!” Twilight replied.
“It’s okay...uh what’s your name?” Applejack asked.
“It’s Minra, and anyway one moment I was asleep in my bed and the next thing I knew I was in that forest and no longer human.”
“Wait a minute, what’s a human?” Applejack asked.
“Well judging by your question I assume there isn’t any humans in this world I believe a portal had opened up in my room and sent me here however that still doesn’t explain why it transformed me into a pony and game me powers, but anyway humans or scientifically known as homo-sapiens and belong to great apes like the gorilla and chimpanzee.” Minra explained.
“So what your saying is that you came from an alternate world?” Twilight suggested.
“I guess?” Minra shrugged.
“Well at least we know that three-fourths of the legend are true but what about the first part.” Spike said.
“Yea, but since it seems like you don’t know how to get back to your home then it sounds like you’re stuck here?” Twilight asked.
“Yea it looks like I am stuck here.” Minra replied.
“Well if you want you can stay in my castle here with Spike, Starlight and I?” Twilight asked cheerfully.
“Wait who’s Starlight?” Minra asked in confusion.
Just as when Twilight was going to answer his question Starlight had burst in wheezing and saying Starlight is a light pink pony with a purple eyes and a mane, and tail that has a blue stripe and a shooting star as her cutie mark
“Guys...eighth...chair...map...room.”
“Sugercube calm down, take a deep breath and say it over again.” Applejack told Starlight.
After taking a deep breath Starlight told the five that an eighth chair has appear between Rarity’s and Pinkie Pie’s chair. And Explained she was reading in Twilight’s chair when a light had started beaming from the table and all of the sudden the room started shaking and the new chair had arose.
Everyone rushed to the map room but Twilight was helping Minra walk because he was still exhausted, as soon as they got there Minra’s cutie mark started glowing, it shot up flew to the chair with the speed of a thrown apple. Minra started rising and freaking out but all of the sudden it stopped as soon as it began and Minra fell to the ground with a soft thud his cutie mark had also stopped glowing.
“Well I think we know what the legend meant by the seventh but just to be sure Rainbow Dash can you go and check on the Tree of Harmony?” Twilight asked.
“I’m on it!” Rainbow said before taking off.
“Oh, Minra are you okay?” Twilight asked,
“Yea I believe so and I think what ever had happened may of restored my energy, thanks.” Minra said.
“Wait can someone tell me what’s going on?” Starlight said in a confused and frustrated tone.
“Well basically Minra, this pony in front of you is from an alternate world and apparently an old legend was talking about him and well he kinda has powers.” Twilight responded.
“Wait what kind of powers?” Starlight asked skeptically.
“It's hard to explain so, Minra can you do what you did back in the Everfree forest?” Twilight asked.
“I can try.” Minra said and closed his eyes when he opened them his eyes were green and blue flames started moving from his eyes to the end of his tail, his hooves separated into claws, his head grew a unicorn horn and dragon wings burned into existence.
After transforming back Starlight fell back onto her butt, and her jaw dropped in shock and amazement.
Rainbow Dash flew back and saw the current situation.
“Uh what happened and why is Starlight on the floor?” Rainbow Dash asked confused.
“I’ll tell you later, but anything appear different with the Tree of Harmony?” Twilight asked.
“Oh, Yea that, well there’s a seventh element now, and it’s the same color as Minra’s cutie mark.”
“What!” Twilight shouted.
“Spike tell Princess Celestia about the situation.”
“I’m on it.” Spike said confidently.
“There’s so many tests we can do but were to start?” Twilight asked herself not realizing everyone had heard her.
“Um, how about we do some testing on Minra’s abilities?” Applejack asked.
“Good idea, but we should probably head to an open field or something.” Spike chimed in.
“Yea that would be the best.” Applejack Replied.
“Um Twilight, can we worry about that tomorrow?” Minra asked.
“But, but.” Twilight started.
“It would be for the best if we started that tomorrow.” Applejack told Twilight.
Sighing in defeat Twilight said “fine.”
Waking up from her trance Starlight suggested “besides we should probably tell the others about Minra and while we’re at it we can show him around Ponyville.”
There was a knock on Twilight’s door, it was Princess Celestia a white alicorn, with a flowing rainbow mane and tail with a golden crown, pink eyes and the sun as her cutie mark.
“Twilight I got your letter about a Seventh Element of Harmony?” Princess Celestia asked.
“That’s right I had Rainbow Dash confirm that a seventh element has grown from the tree, and an eighth chair has appeared in the map room bearing the Cutie Mark of Minra, the seventh element.” Twilight said motioning to Minra.
“Oh you must be Minra, my name is Princess Celestia it’s very nice meeting you.” Princess Celestia said.
Lowering his head Minra replied with “it’s an honor.”
“You might want to sit down for this Princess Celestia.” Twilight said.
“Well Minra isn’t from our world.”
“What do you mean Minra isn’t from our world, he looks like an earth pony to me?” Princess Celestia asked.
“Well, you see he’s from an alternate universe where instead of ponies there’s humans.”
“Also he has special abilities.” Spike interrupted.
“Really like what.”
“Well it’ll probably be easier to show you rather than explain.”
“Um okay, show me.” Princess Celestia said confused.
Having less difficulty as before Minra closed his eyes for a bit and when he opened them they were green and as before he turned blue, grew dragon wings, a unicorn horn and his hooves sprouted into claws.
Having found nothing to say but just the word “huh” Princess Celestia said in a mix of emotions that even she the Princess of the day couldn’t express.
Minra Transformed back into his base form and out of breath.
“Okay I think that’s enough transforming for today.”
After gathering her thoughts Princess Celestia concluded “it should be up to Twilight and her friends to find more about Minra’s abilities as well as what the seventh element represents, but in the mean time I’ll be in my castle.”
As Princess Celestia flew away she was thought to herself “I’m gonna need a serious amount of cake after that.
“Well I guess we should show him around town, however it’ll have to be one pony though.” Spike said.
“I’ll do it.” Applejack volunteered.
“Okay” Twilight replied.
“Be back” Spike said.
“Don’t worry we will.” Applejack said. After closing the door.
“Okay, were do you want to start?” Applejack asked.
“Well can I meet the other three element of harmony holders?” Minra suggested.
“Good Idea, let’s go meet Pinkie Pie, but I do have to warn you, she likes to through parties a lot but she means well.”
“Um okay.”
After arriving at Sugarcube Corner and walking in.
“Hey Applejack who’s that, is he new and is he your boy friend?” Pinkie Pie asked energetically she ‘s a pink earth pony with a curly pink mane and tail, blue eyes and three balloons as her cutie mark.
“Well his name’s Minra, yes he is new and no he isn’t my boyfriend.”
“Aw cause then I could throw you a congrats on becoming a couple part but what-eves.” Pinkie shrugged.
“Well at least I can throw him a welcome to Ponyville party.”
“You are new to Ponyville right? Right!” Pinkie Pie asking Minra, standing in front of him to the point where their noses were almost touching.
Minra quickly nodded.
“Good, I’m Pinkie Pie nice to meet you, but say Applejack why did you bring him here?” She asked before her whole body started shaking,
“Let me guess it’s gonna be a dousey?” Pinkie Pie asked.
“Yep, and well there’s a seventh element of harmony, and Minra here is the holder of that element.”
Pinkie Pie stopped shaking.
“Oooo, what’s the element, cooking, partying, anything fun? Pinkie pie asked.
“Well that’s just the thing we don’t know what the element is.” Applejack shrugged.
“Oh okay and do you want anything to eat, also when’s your birthday?” Pinkie Pie asked Minra smiling.
“A glazed doughnut would be nice, and it’s August seventh.” Minra said.
“Okie Dokie, and don’t worry it’s on the house.” Pinkie Pie said cheerfully.
“Thanks Pinkie.” Minra said waving.
“So Applejack where to next?” Minra asked
“How about Fluttershy’s, however she is a little shy and timid so try not to do anything to upset her.” Applejack answered.
After arriving at Fluttershy’s house Applejack knocked on her door. Hearing the knocks Fluttershy asked Angel Bunny who it was but he just shrugged so she went to open the door.
“Oh, hello Applejack nice to see you and um who’s that?” Fluttershy asked she’s a yellow pegasis with blue eyes a pink mane and tail and three butterflies as her cutie mark.
“This is Minra the seventh element of harmony.”
Minra just waved. There was an awkward silence between the three of them but Fluttershy broke the silence by asking Minra what his favorite animal is.
“I would have to say either the Lion of the Ball Python.” Minra answered.
“Why the Lion?” Fluttershy asked.
“Well I’m not sure if this world has zodiac signs or not but I was born under the Leo sign plus they’re just big fwuffy kittens.” Minra replied.
“Oh okay...” Fluttershy said.
Another awkward silence later when Applejack said she was gonna introduce him to Rarity.
“Okay.” Fluttershy closed the door and told Angel Bunny that he seemed nice.
Noticing that Fluttershy was blushing he decided to tease her a little bit.
Along the way to Rarity’s Minra and Applejack came across the Cutie Mark Crusaders.
“Hiya Applejack who’s that is he your boyfriend. Applebloom teased, she’s a yellow filly with a red mane and tail pink eyes, a purple, lavender, and red shield with an apple in it as her cutie mark she also wore a red ribbon.
Sighing Applejack introduced Minra.
“Minra this is Applebloom, my little sister and her friends Sweetie Bell and Scootalo.”
“Nice to meet ya.” Sweetie Bell who is a light gray Philly unicorn with green eyes, two shades of purple for her mane and tail with the same shield cutie mark except instead of an apple it’s a star and Scootalo an orange pegasis, with purple hair small wings, purple eyes, and a similar cutie mark as her friends except there’s a lightning bolt where the apple or star would be said at the same time.
“You still didn’t answer my question.” Applebloom said but before Applejack could say anything the three of them ran off giggling.
“Well now you know the CMC crew but off to Rarity’s.” Applejack said a little annoyed.
Arriving at Rarity’s Applejack asked if they could come in and Rarity a white unicorn with a purple mane and tail with blue eyes and three diamonds as her cutie mark replied with a “yes darling.”
Applejack it’s so nice to see you and who do we have here, is he your boyfriend?” Rarity questioned.
“No and why does everypony keep asking me that.”
“Well you see darling it’s because you look so cute together.” Rarity replied.
“Now do the two of you have any ideas for a new line of clothing?” Rarity asked.
Applejack shook her head but Minra raised a hoof.
“Oh what is it darling.” Rarity asked Minra.
“Um how about some dragon themed clothing?” Minra suggested.
“That’s a great idea, thank you but now run off I have to get started on this quickly.” Rarity sung eagerly.
“Well now that I’ve shown you around town and to the other three elements of harmony I should head back to Sweet Apple Acres, so see you around Applejack waved.
The Not so Averge Life of a Once Human Now Pony Named Minra
Chapter Five
“Twilight, Twilight!” Spike shouted.
“What is it?” Twilight asked concerned.
“You got a letter from Princess Celestia!”
“Oh okay do you mind reading it Spike?” Twilight asked.
“Ahem”
Dear Princess Twilight Sparkle,
Unfortunately, I wish the circumstances were better however I need you and your friends to come to Canterlote immediately, I'll explain when we’re at Princess Luna’s and I’s castle. Please be quick this is urgent regarding the fate of the Equestria, I have already sent a letter to Shinning Armour and Princess Cadence. Also, please bring the elements of harmony, they may prove useful in this situation.
From.
Princess Celestia and Princess Luna
After the nine friends had packed everything and had landed at Canterlote’s train station they met Shinning Armour, a white unicorn with a blue mane and tail who has blue eyes and a purple shield with the same star that Twilight has as her cutie mark. There was also Princess Cadence, a light pink alicorn with a purple, pink and white mane and tail who has magenta eyes and a blue heart as her cutie mark.
“Cadence, Shinning Armour how have you been and how’s Flurry Heart?” Twilight asked.
“We’ve been good but for now we should head to the castle.” Shinning Armour said.
“Your right, okay everypony lets go.” Twilight said.
The eleven of them headed to the castle.
“Princess Celestia, Princess Luna we are here!” Shinning Armour announced when they reached the thrown room.
“Princess what’s going on?” Twilight asked.
With a heavy sigh Princess Celestia explained, “our brother, Prince Nebula or as he likes to call himself The Emperor of Dark Matter has escaped his imprisonment."
“Wait you have a brother and why was he imprisoned and how come you never told us?” Twilight asked.
Princess Celestia and Princess Luna nodded.
“Well you see we’re not sure how he turned evil however he had started controlling and enslaving the ponies of Equestria. The reason why we never told any of you is because it was a very sore subject, we are quite sorry for not telling you and for coming on such short notice.” Princess Celestia said.
“I-I’m so sorry.” Twilight said.
“Don’t be.”
“So what can you tell us about Prince Nebula?” Minra asked.
“Well he’s an alicorn like us, he has the ability to create Nebulae and control them as well as control pony’s minds, when Luna and I defeated him we imprisoned him in Tartar-us it was before we fought Discord but after the Six Pillars had disappeared.” Princess Celestia explained.
Just as when Princess Celestia had finished he sentence there was a loud explosion and at that exact time part of the wall burst open causing debre and dust to fly everywhere. Shinning Armour had formed a protective shield around all of them.
“He’s here!” Luna shouted.
“Hello Sisters, it’s been so long, how have you been?” A mysteries voice called from the dust.
Once the dust settled a dark gray alicorn with red stripes here and there with a dark red, and black mane and tail that has some purple on the tail with a black helmet, red eyes, he had a large grin with his fangs showing and a nebula cloud as his cutie mark.
“Oh and I see you’ve brought guests, how thoughtful. I shall turn them into my slaves!” The alicorn shouted as he shot a magic bolt at the group.
The only one to be effected by the shot was Shinning Armour who immediately went still and his eyes turned a dull red.
“How interesting my spell only seemed to effect only one of you”
“How may I sever you master?” The mind controlled Shinning Armour asked,
Everyone turned to look at Shinning Armour in realization, when about twenty royal guards came in to the room after hearing the blast.
“Oh more ponies coming to join the party? How grand.” Prince Nebula said as he shot another magic bolt but this time at the guards.
“How may we serve you master?” The guards asked in unison.
“Yes, you may...seize them!” Prince Nebula shouted as he pointed to the group but before they could be captured Twilight teleported the group back to Ponyville.
“Aw they left, oh well I’ll get them soon.” Prince Nebula said as he flew outside and shot a Magic bolt down at the population of Canterlot.
“Your will is our command.” Everypony in Canterlot said in unison.
“Good this is turning out better then I expected, next stop The Crystal Empire.” Ptince Nebula thought to himself.
Meanwhile in Ponyville all the residents gathered around in sight of the eleven ponies.
“Thanks for saving us Twilight.” Princess Cadence said.
“What do we do now?” Pinkie Pie asked.
“I have to return to the Crystal Empire, and warn everypony there.” Princess Cadence said.
“Oh and Cadence this is Minra the seventh element of harmony, Minra this is Princess Cadence, my former foal-sitter and my sister in law.” Twilight said.
Princess Cadence had a surprised look on her face but then noticed the greed dragon gem element on Minra.
“Nice to meet you though I wish the circumstance was better.” Princess Cadence said.
“Like wise.” Minra responded.
“Somepony should go with you Cadence.” Princess Celestia said.
“I’ll go with her.” Minra volunteered.
“M-me too.” Fluttershy said raising her hoof.
“Thank you Minra and Fluttershy, Spike you should come with us as well.” Princess Cadence suggested.
“Why?” Minra asked.
“It’s because Spike can send letters by breathing fire on them in the direction of the destination he wants it to go.” Twilight explained.
Princess Cadence, Spike, Fluttershy and Minra headed to The Crystal Empire however when they got there they found that it was already to late and just about everypony had been put under Prince Nebula’s mind control magic except for two ponies, a cherry blossom pink alicorn filly who has a blue diaper, lavender and blue mane and tail with blue eyes named Flurry Heart and an a light orange unicorn who has a white spot on his face and mostly white legs, a reddish orange mane and tail who wears glasses, and a blue cape with blue stars on it and has an orange goatee unicorn named Sunburst, he has a sunburst as his cutie mark.
“Sunburst what happened here?” Princess Cadence asked.
“Well Flurry Heart and I were waiting for you and Shinning Armour in the castle when I heard an explosion outside and when I looked there was a dark gray alicorn with dark red markings shooting some sort of magic at the citizens when he noticed us and well long story short Flurry Heart and I are the only ones who survived.” Sunburst explained as Princess Cadence picked up a crying Flurry Heart who hugged her in fright.
“Shh it’s okay mama is here, Spike tell Princess Celestia what the situation is and in the mean time we should head back to Ponyville.” Princess Cadence said as Prince Nebula stepped in front of them.
“Going somewhere?” Prince Nebula said mockingly.
“The five of you run I’ll hold him off!” Minra said as he transformed and shot a ball of blue fire at Nebula.
“Like a cheap trick like that will stop me!” Prince Nebula said as he shot a magic bolt of his own at the fire ball causing a cloud of smoke to appear and once the smoke dispersed the six ponies were gone.
“Who was that?” Sunburst said out of breath.
“That’s Prince Nebula, Princess Celestia and Princess Luna’s younger brother, they had to imprison him in Tartar-us because he brainwashed the ponies of Equestria.” Princess Cadence explained.
“Then how come I’ve never read of him in any books?” Sunburst asked.
“It’s a sore subject.” Minra added.
The six ponies were soon back in Ponyville where they were met with The ponies who stayed behind.
“Cadence, I got your letter I’m so sorry but I’m glad Flurry Heart and Sunburst are okay.” Twilight said hugging her sister in law.
Cadence hugged back when Starlight and Sunburst hugged each other.
“Princess Celestia, Princess Luna, Cadence, and Sunburst you can stay in my castle if you want.” Twilight said.
“Thank you we will Princess.” Celestia said.
“Minra was it? Thank you for saving us.” Princess Cadence told Minra.
Realizing that he was still in his dragon form Minra reverted back into his base form.
“Incredible, I’ve never read anything about your powers before Minra but I do have one question, what’s that on your chest?” Sunburst asked.
“Oh this it’s my element of harmony.” Minra said pointing to his chest.
“Wait there’s seven now?” Sunburst said amazed.
“Yea, but there’s even more wonders I would like to tell you but we should stray focus on how to defeat Prince Nebula.” Applejack said.
“Well we should make a plan first.” Twilight said.
“But how are we gonna stop him if we don’t know which town Prince Nebula is gonna go to next?” Spike asked.
“Well it seems like he’s going after the cities that have the most ponies in them, so it would be safe to assume the place Prince Nebula would be targeting next is Manehattan.”
“But then how come he didn’t come to Ponyville first?” Rarity asked.
“I think he might attack us last and when he does he would have conquered all of Equestria.” Minra said.
“If that’s the case then we will have to warn the rest of Equestria!” Princess Celestia said.
“Rainbow Dash do you think you can fly around Equestria dropping off warnings?” Princess Luna asked.
“Can do!” Rainbow Dash said raising a hoof to her forehead.
“Great, Twilight and I will wright the letters.” Princess Celestia said.
“Princess Luna I’m gonna need your help?” Minra asked.
“But of coarse what do you need me to do?” Princess Luna asked.
“I need you to get the residents of Ponyville’s attention.”
“We shall help by using our Royal Canterlot Voice.” Luna said.
“Fluttershy do you think you can ask your animal friends to help with finding where Prince Nebula is heading to?” Princess Cadence asked.
“I can certainly try.” Fluttershy said.
Minra and Princess Luna went out onto Twilight’s porch.
“Ponies of Ponyville we need thou attention!” Princess Luna shouted in her royal Canterlot voice.
“An evil alicorn is coming with an army of mind controlled ponies and wants to take over Equestria we urge you to stay inside and lock you doors and windows until we say it’s safe to come out.” Minra said.
Ponies did as they were instructed when Rainbow Dash flew off with a saddlebag on her and doing so at such speed that she cause a Sonic Rain-boom and soon after leaving she comeback saying that they where wrong, he’s heading straight for Ponyville.
“Everypony looks like we’re gonna have to fight.” Princess Celestia said.
“Spike can you watch Flurry Heart?” Princess Cadence asked as she hugged Flurry Heart.
“Don’t worry Flurry Heart your uncle Spike will protect you while Mama’s out.” Princess Cadence said.
“Sunshine protect them as well.” Minra told his loyal dog.
The twelve ponies headed to the outskirts of the town where leading the army was two ponies, Prince Nebula, and Shinning Armour. Minra flared into his dragon form. Magic blasts started being shot from the army as pegasi flew about Ponyville. Minra let out a heap of flame in a line in hopes it’ll at least slow the advancing army down, however the wall of blue flickering flame didn’t stop Prince Nebula who jumped over the flames in front of the twelve.
“Now!” Starlight called as the seven elements of harmony flashed and let out a rainbow that formed into a multicolored transparent dragon that left a rainbow trail flew into Prince Nebula and then out leaving with some sort of dark cloud in it’s mouth then the dragon flew through the Nebula’s army and leaving them with a larger dark cloud in it’s mouth. Princess Celestia, Princess Luna and Princess Cadence used their magic to open a portal that the dragon flew into, bringing the dark cloud with it.
What was left was a group of ponies Crystal and non Crystal alike and in front of the former army were three ponies on the ground, Shinning Armour, the aforementioned orange pegasis and a cherry red alicorn who’s cherry red fur faded into a light blue blue, the alicorn has a silver colored crown and a silver color the wings were red but faded into a light magenta with some light blue feathers inside, the alicorn had a dark gray and sand red mane and tail with sand red eyes. The one detail that allowed the seven to know who the alicorn was is a nebula cutie mark. Princess Luna and Princess Celestia rushed over to Prince Nebula. Princess Cadence flew over to Shinning Armour.
“Brother are you all right?” Princess Luna asked.
“Luna, Celestia is that you, I’ve missed you two so much?” Prince Nebula asked as he hugged his sisters.
“We missed you as well Nebula.” Princess Celestia said crying.
“Shinning are you alright?” Princess Cadence asked her husband.
Holding his head Shinning Armour groaned and said. “What happened, my head felt like it got hit by several of Flurry Heart’s magic bolts.”
“Also what are we doing in Ponyville?” Shinning Armour asked.
“It’s a long story, but for now you should rest.” Princess Cadence said while holding Shinning Armour.
“So Nebula how did you turn evil?” Princess Celestia asked her brother.
“Well one night I was stargazing when an asteroid crashed near me, I did the dumbest thing ever and went to investigate the strange space rock when some sort of black cloud oozed from the rock and latched it’s self on to me turning me into…well you know the rest.” Prince Nebula explained.
“Oh okay but why were you stargazing, without any guards nearby?” Princess Celestia asked.
“I snuck out, it gets tiring being royalty, like I don’t think I’ve ever had a break from my royal duties.” Prince Nebula said lowering his head.
“Believe us Nebula we know what it’s like and no I’m not mad I’m just happy everything is over and that we have our little brother back, there’s so much stuff we have to catch you up on.” Princess Celestia said.
“Everyone I want to apologize for what I did, I’m so ashamed I hope you can forgive me.” Prince Nebula said while digging at the ground.
The ponies nodded their head.
“And I want to thank the twelve of you, cause if it weren’t for you then I would still be under the control of that cloud.”
“Don’t mention it, we’re just glad you’re back.” Minra said.
After everypony went back to their homes Princess Celestia, and Princess Luna threw a celebration for the return of their baby brother.
“Nebula this is your adopted niece, Princess Cadence, her husband Shinning Armour, her sister in law Princess Twilight Sparkle and her daughter Princess Flurry Heart.” Princess Celestia said as she introduced her and Luna’s brother.
“Wait there are five princesses now?” Prince Nebula asked.
“Yea there’s your niece Princess Cadence who’s in charge of all the love in Equestria, then there’s Princess Twilight Sparkle who’s in charge of all the friendship in Equestria, she even has her own school of friendship and finally Flurry Heart who was born an alicorn.” Princess Celestia said.
“Wait born an alicorn, how is that possible?” Prince Nebula Questioned.
“Well we don’t have a clue either.” Twilight responded.
Minra had asked Fluttershy if she wanted to dance.
“I-I would love to.” Fluttershy said taking Minra’s hoof.
The two Ponies danced as Twilight was playing with her Niece.
“Sister I’m glad everything turned out alright.” Princess Luna told her sister.
“As am I.”
After a while Minra and Fluttershy decided it was time to have their first kiss. The two ponies could feel each-other's warm breath on their lips as they leaned in. The party soon ended and all the ponies who attended either went home or went to their guest rooms to sleep except Minra who was out stargazing in the castle’s garden when Fluttershy came and asked if she could sit with him, after responding with a yes Fluttershy soon leaned her head on his lap while Minra stroked her mane.
“Hey Minra?” Fluttershy asked.
“What’s up?” Minra responded.
“Do you ever miss being back in your home world?” Fluttershy asked.
“No not really.” Minra responded.
“Really but what about your family, your friends?” Fluttershy asked.
Minra’s expression grew dull, as he told her that he didn’t have any, because his parents abused him and because of that he became antisocial, never trusting anyone, an outcast at his school until his parents were arrsted and he was able to get a place of his own where after a couple of years he gut transported to Equestria. Fluttershy sat up and immediately hugged Minra.
“That’s in your past, you have friends now, possibly even a family, now just focus on the future.” Fluttershy said while crying.
Minra hugged her close while tears were falling down his cheek.
“I know and I wouldn’t trade it for anything especially since I have you.” Minra said.
The two ponies soon fell asleep in each-other's arms in the castle’s garden. Princess Luna saw the two but instead of waking them she simply put a blanket on the two ponies.

Bonus Chapter, Minra Goes to The Dentist
Bonus Chapter Short
Noticing Minra was upset Spike asked what was wrong.
“Oh it’s just that, I have a dentist appointment later and I’m hungry.” Minra responded.
“Then why don’t you eat something?” Spike asked.
“Can’t.” Minra responded.
“Why?” Spike asked.
“I don’t know, all I know is that they told me to be fasting.” Minra responded.
“Huh?” Spike said.
“It means I can’t eat anything.” Minra responded.
“Oh okay but then why do you have a nervous look on your face?” Spike asked.
“Well it’s because I’m afraid of the dentist.” Minra replied.
“Is that all, don’t worry everything will be fine.” Spike said trying to reassure Minra.
“Thanks.” Minra said.
“No problem, besides it’s not like you’ll have to worry about having cavities, braces, fillings or having any teeth pulled.” Spike replied which only made Minra more nervous then before.
Sensing he had made Minra more nervous then ever before Spike apologized.
“It’s okay Spike.” Minra said.
Later Minra entered the dentist office of Ponyville and signed in. After an hour of waiting in the waiting room his name was finally called. When he walked into the room he saw a maya blue unicorn mare who has a blue and sea foam mane and tail with blue eyes and an hour glass for a cutie mark.
“Please come in, my name is Minuette.” Minuette said.
“Thanks.” Minra replied.
“No problem, so what brings you in today?” Minuette asked.
“I’m here for a checkup.” Minra replied as he sat in the dentist chair.
“Okay open wide.” Minuette said as she took a mouth mirror took a look at Minra’s teeth.
After a bit of looking Minuette took out the tool and told Minra that he has a small cavity forming in one of his teeth.
“May I ask something?” Minuette asked as she put the mouth mirror on the table.
“Sure what is it?” Minra replied.
“Your teeth are normally in great condition, so how did this occur?” Minuette asked.
“Well I’ve been helping Pinkie Pie taste test some of her food, and I’ve also been forgetting to brush my teeth.” Minra explained.
“Minra, really, oh alright, well since it’s only a small cavity filling it shouldn’t take long how ever I am going to have to put you under some medicine that will stop the pain, and it should ware off after a bit.” Minuette replied getting her tools ready.
About ten minutes later Minuette finished filling the cavity and put her tools away.
“There, now no solids for twenty-four hours from now, ice cream and applesauce are an exception though.” Minuette explained.
“Thanks.” Minra said as he got down from the chair and walked out of the office.
“No problem.” Minuette replied with a smile.
As Minra was walking back to the castle Pinkie Pie walked to him.
“Oh hi Pinkie.” Minra said.
“Hi, wanna help me with more taste testing?” Pinkie Pie asked.
“Sorry I won’t be able to, the dentist said no solids for a day from now.” Minra replied.
“Why?” Pinkie Pie asked tilting her head.
“Got a tooth filling, won’t be able to eat solids for a day.” Minra explained.
“What about ice cream and applesauce?” Pinkie Pie asked.
“Those are okay.” Minra replied.
“Oh okay, well see you later.” Pinkie Pie said as she hopped away.
“See ya.” Minra replied watching Pinkie Pie hopped away.
Minra walked into the castle where he was met by Twilight and Spike.
“Didn’t I tell you you had nothing to worry about.” Spike said confidently.
“Actually you were wrong, I had a small cavity that needed filling so now I won’t be able to consume solids for a day.” Minra replied.
“Oh, oops sorry.” Spike said apologetically.
“Not your fault Spike, I was the one forgetting to brush my teeth, now if you’ll excuse me I’m still feeling the affects of the medicine so I’m gonna go and take a nap.” Minra replied.
“Okay, have a good sleep.” Twilight and Spike said as they waved.
