Diamond Journals Issue 1: A Quest for Memory

Fluttershy and Rainbow Dash had arrived at the Frozen North. Unfortunately, Wily had already set up his defenses for the defenses. Sniper Joes, Mets, little bit of everything. Luckily, Rainbow was able to take out any robots that stood in their way. Just before entering the Crystal Empire, though, they were stopped by Freeze Man.

"Alright, let's-" he started. "Oh , COME ON, Wily! TWO Pegasi? Dude, this is not cool!" he yelled into his com.

"It's kill or be killed, Freeze Man. Defend the barrier at all costs!" Wily shouted back through the com, Freeze Man turning it off afterwards.

"Well, I have a job to do. Come at me, you two!" Freeze Man cried, readying his weapon. Rainbow bolted into the air, quickly putting herself out of range. Fluttershy also tried to put herself out of range, but Freeze Man ran faster than she could fly. He fired a single shot, freezing Fluttershy in place. Right after, Rainbow swooped down and crashed into his body intentionally. She repeated this a couple times before performing the Sonic Rainboom, knocking him off his feet and dealing a ton of damage.

"How's THAT, Freeze Man?" she taunted. He tried to get up to shoot, but the temperature quickly rose around him. Fire Man had warped in and shot Freeze Man a few times with his Fire Storm, which popped him within seconds and only left the Weapon Cartridge for Freeze Cracker behind. "Fire Man? You're on our side?" Rainbow asked in surprise.

"I don't know what I was thinking siding with Dr. Wily. The fires of justice have NEVER burned in that man!" Fire Man roared. "I'll take that cartridge to Diamond. He'll need all the weaponry he can get." He used his Fire Storm to thaw Fluttershy out of her frozen prison, then grabbed the cartridge and warped out.

"Well, let's move, Flutters. That orb isn't going to shut itself down!" Rainbow said.

"A...alright, Rainbow. I just...hope there's no more Robot Masters..." Fluttershy replied quietly.

==================================================================================================

The Crystal Empire, usually lively, was oddly abandoned. The Crystal Ponies hid in their homes, afraid to leave due to Wily's robots. Most of them had been pulled out, leaving only one of the most horrid robots behind: Green Devil.

"BUMO! BUMOMOMOMOMO!" the robot cried. The Devil robots only talked in Bumos.

"Bumomomo...bumomo...bumomomomomomo..." Fluttershy muttered, trying to communicate with Green Devil.

"BU, BUMOMO?! BU, BUMOMOMOMO! BUMOMOMO, BUMO!" it shouted. "BU, BUMOMOMO! BUMOMOMOMOMOMO, BUMOMO!"

"Bumomomo...bu, bumomomo. Bumomomo, bumo!" Fluttershy said.

"BUMOMO!" Green Devil cried.

"He says, "You are not welcome here while I'm around! I have your Princess Cadence and Shining Armour imprisoned here, and if you value their lives, you'll turn back now!"" Fluttershy translated.

"Well, tell him that if he knows what's good for him, he'll leave the royalty alone and let us get to the orb!" Rainbow told her. The shy yellow pegasus translated their message into bumos.

"BUMOMOMOMO...BUMO." Green Devil said. "BUMOMOMO, BU, BUMOMOMOMOMO!"

"He said, "Just for you, I'll release the royalty. But you won't get the orb without a fight!"" she translated. This time, Elec Man warped in to take care of the devil.

ONE LONG FIGHT LATER...

The pegasi had access to the orb and the Crystal Ponies were free.

"Alright, Mega. We're in place! Let us know when to attack it and turn it off!" Rainbow said into her communicator.

"Good job, you two. Remember, we have to do this at the exact same time. We'll let you know when we're all ready. Mega Man replied.
