It's Hero Time

In a town known as Halfway Hill, there lived a young teenage mare student known as Sun Regional, who walked inside the entrance of her high school, heading towards her locker.

"Okay, everything is good so far," she said to herself.

As soon as she got to her locker, she found her best friend, Sea Blend, walking up to her.

"Hey, S.R.," he said, "I need you to help double-check on my History homework." He handed the homework over to the young mare, who didn't look quite pleased.

"Sea, all these names are related to either food or animals. None of them are related to the Wonderbolts." The colt gave a frustrated groan.

"Come on, I've researched this all the time and I can't figure it out!"

"Sea, try to stay calm."

"But our test is in three days. I'm going to fail."

"Are you sure you didn't just sit around watching animals?" asked a voice. Looking behind them, there was a unicorn that had purple fur and a dark blue mane and crystal for a cutie mark.

"Not now Crystal," Sun groaned.

"Hey, you know it's true."

"I know you can make up whatever you want and get away with it, thanks to your dad's money."

"Well, you spend all your time around the animal foal."

"Don't you have anything better to do? Or do you just care about when you're in the spotlight?"

The snobby mare just rolled her eyes and walked away. Suddenly, Sun heard ringing inside of her locker. Looking inside of it, there was a white crystal statue that was glowing until the mare pressed on its top.

A screen suddenly appeared to show a green filly with turquoise mane sitting at a desk. "'Sup Sun?" she asked.

"Hi Jade," Sun replied. "What do you want for us?"

"Bad news. Dusky Scale has escaped from his prison cell."

"The heck!? How'd he do that?" Sea Blend questioned.

"He had a little help," Jade explained.

"Let me guess," Sun said, "Blaze?"

"Yep, that's her." A photo was shown of the two ponies. Dusky Scales was a white stallion earth pony who had a scar over his right eye. He had a short blonde mane and wore a trench coat that was black. Blaze, however, was a unicorn who had orange fur and a red and she wore a black jumpsuit.

"What are they up to now?"

"Apparently, they're trying to steal a diamond from the Manehattan Museum." Jade showed the location of where the two were going.

"So, can this wait until my history test?" Sea asked.

"I don't think that Blaze is going to wait for us," Sun stated. "Let's go." The two students ran out of their school and all the way to Manehattan.

Ponies were walking around the Manehattan Museum with a tour guide leading them. "And over here we have a set of special types of gemstones," he said.

"How rare are these kinds of gems?" a pink-maned mare asked.

"They can go up to several million bits. Like this Topaz here." There was a large topaz sitting in a glass case for the ponies to see. The tour carried on, but the pink-maned mare stayed behind. She removed the mane and dress she was wearing to hide her identity.

Blaze lit her horn to create some fire to melt through the glass. This would've sounded off the alarm but she had a couple of ponies helping her with that.

"You’re going to pay for that aren't you?" asked a voice.

Looking behind, Blaze could see Sun Regional glaring towards her. She was now wearing an orange jumpsuit that had an emerald necklace around her neck.

"Sunny," Blaze chuckled, "You made it. So, where's your sidekick." That answer came from Sea Blend, who was wearing the same gear as Sun, flying around being chased by a couple of ponies in red jumpsuits. "I guess we're even now."

"Just leave that topaz where it is and we can get on with our days." Blaze simply picked up the big gemstone and placed it in her saddlebag. "Okay, we're playing hard."

The two mares ran towards each other and started throwing several punches and kicks.

"Why am I stuck with these guys?" Sea questioned as he avoided getting tackled by one of the henchmen.

Seeing a mop, the pegasus grabbed it and tried to use it to help defend himself. However, with the number of henchmen, the mop was swiped out of his hooves.

"Right. So, back to running around?" Judging by their faces, which were hard to judge because their eyes were covered by some black goggles.

The pegasus flew around again as Sun and Blaze were in a deadlock with each other. "What's the plan with the topaz?" the high school mare asked.

"Sorry sweety," Blaze said. "That only for us to know."

"So I'm just going to have to find out." Sun flipped back before jumping off the wall and snatching the saddlebag from Blaze. The unicorn tried to use her magic to levitate the bag back to her, but Sun took the contents from it and hurled the bag at the unicorn, landing on her head.

"Sunny, what are you doing?" Sea questioned.

"Playing keep-away." Blaze tried to tackle the young mare but ended up missing her and getting kicked in the stomach, sending her flying into the air. The henchmen tried to tackle Sun but she kept jumping and flipping around to avoid them. That was until a mechanical arm grabbed the topaz from her.

"Thank you for the assistance," said a male's voice, "But I can take it from here." There was some sort of flying saucer being piloted by Dusky Scales.

"Yo, Dr. Scales," Blaze said, "Were you just letting us do ninety percent of the work?"

"Just get into the ship." Blaze jumped off the henchmen's back in order to get on board. As they took off, Sun looked towards Sea Blend.

"Sea, saddle me," she said.

"Got it," Sea replied. He helped place a metal saddlebag on Sun's back and it suddenly shifted into a jet pack. It even had a cover for her tail so it wouldn't get burned. The young mare flew off and chased after the doctor and his flying saucer.

"Oh, what now?" Dusky Scale groaned. He and Blaze could see Sun flying after them. So, their solution was to fire incredibly sharp boomerang at her. Sun dodged them, but they found another target. A window washer was simply doing his job as one of the boomerangs cut one of the cables holding him up.

Sun saw this and knew she had to catch the thieves, but at the same time, she couldn't let this pony fall. She flew down to catch the pony and bring him safely down onto a rooftop. Then things were getting worse as the lift was starting to come loose.

The mare with a jetpack flew down to grab the lift and managed to keep it steady until she got it to the ground.

"Close one," she said to herself. She looked up to the sky to see Scales and Blaze flying off out of sight. "Great."

"S.R.," Sea Blend called. He flew over to Sun as he was nearly out of breath. "I tried to get the henchmen... But they had some smoke bombs and got away. I hate it when they do that."

"It's okay, Sea," Sun reassured. "We don't even know what they're planning."

"Plus I kept thinking about that history test. I keep trying to remember. Can you share some of your notes?" Sea's words fell short thanks to Sun's thousand-yard stare. "Sunny?"

The two students had gotten out of their rescue gear, they met up at a restaurant called "Mighty Bite." They ordered some tacos and hayburgers while they were studying.

"Okay, so the name of the general who gave the Wonderbolts their name was..." Sun waited for Sea to answer, but he didn't.

Looking up, she could see the colt feeding a gray parrot. "Huh?"

"Sea, you said you needed help with this history test and you're just feeding your pet parrot."

"First of all, Clara isn't a pet, she's part of the family."

"Pretty bird," Clara chirped.

"Yes you are," Sea responded. He fed his bird another chip before thinking about the question's answer. "What was the question again?"

"Sea, the answer is General Firefly," Sun explained. "I thought you wanted help with this."

"I do, but I haven't taken Clara out of the house since..." The colt was interrupted by Clara's screeching and frantically flapping her wings.

"Look, I don't have any more chips." The parrot flapped onto the table and decided to take a look at the other meals. "Hey, you can't have tomatoes."

"I'm starting to see why you're having trouble studying. Not to mention helping to save the world doesn't help."

"Hey, some brains just work differently."

"Fair point."

There was a beeping sound coming from a necklace that Sun was wearing earlier that was now sitting in her saddlebag. She picked it up and pressed on it. An image of Jade appeared like the crystal in Sun's locker.

"Sun, I've been doing some research," Jade said. "The topaz that Dusky and Blaze stole seems to be one in a set of three."

"So, they're starting some sort of crystal collection?" Sea asked.

"Not exactly. The topaz and two other gemstones have special abilities that are like super batteries."

"And what exactly would they want to power up?" Sun asked.

"Unsure. Knowing who's trying to steal these, it's not going to be good."

"Can you try and figure out where they're going next?"

"I'll update you when I find something." The ruby disconnected from them.

"...Okay, so..."

"I found something," Jade explained. "It turns out the next gemstone that there's a sapphire being held in Canterlot. It's under tight security though."

"I'm sure they wouldn't mind if they let us in," Sea said.

"I'm not sure they would," Sun said.

"Hey, you've helped save the world tones of time. We might as well go there and try to help protect that sapphire."

"You've got a point. But that doesn't mean we can't still study."

"Right."

Meanwhile, Dusky Scales was in his lair idolizing the topaz they had just stolen. "Oh, Blaze," he said, "Isn't this just lovely."

"Yeah, I'm pretty sure it's worth a pretty bit," Blaze said sarcastically. "What are you using it for?"

"My new doomsday device."

"Which is...?"

Scales sighed. "If you must know, I need three gems to power it. Once they power it up, I will be able to power my device and be able to dig to the center of the earth. Naturally, the world wouldn't want that to happen..."

"So, you're just having a fear tactic. Couldn't you... I don't know, maybe sell the gems for money."

"Perhaps for a plan B. Luckily, plan A won't fail."

"Yeah, probably because we're doing your work."

"What? Are you saying that I'm not capable of making great machines?"

"Wouldn't be the first time."

"Grr. Look, I've been stuck in prison. I'm a little rusty."

"What was the excuse before you were behind bars?"

"...Do you want something out of this?"

"Well, if we're going to be stealing gems I thought we could get a few extra in case things go south."

"Okay, fine. You can take whatever gemstones you want. But if you get caught..."

"You'll be the one getting the sapphire."

"What?"

"I get to pick the gems I want, while you can get your sapphire."

"Fine." The doctor grumbled as he walked away while Blaze smiled to herself.

"Okay, so the capital of Equestria is... Canterlot," Sea said as he and Sun rode a flying chariot.

"Right," Sun replied. She looked towards the pegasus who was pulling them. "Thanks for giving us a lift Swift Delivery."

"Anything for you, Sunny," the pegasus replied. "You were the one who helped save my company's reputation."

"Hey, anypony could've helped deliver a whole street worth of packages."

"So, how much further?" Sea Blend asked.

"See that castle?" Swift asked.

"I think that's all we need for an answer," Sun said. "You don't need to stop, we'll drop ourselves off." Placing a parachute on her back, Sun jumped from the chariot and deployed her parachute to make sure she fell safely. Sea glided down with her as Clara flew by his side. "You brought Clara."

"She wouldn't leave me alone," Sea responded. "Besides, she won't be too much trouble. Won't you Clara?"

"Pretty bird," Clara replied.

"Yes, you are." The three soon landed in Canterlot and looked around. "Okay, so where is the museum we're looking for?"

"The sapphire isn't in a museum," Sun reminded. "Jade said it's in a facility, locked up and secure." Without warning, an explosion went off scaring Clara and several other ponies. Sun and Sea ran to find smoking coming from a large hole in a wall. "Subtly isn't their specialty."

"Oh, sorry," said a voice. "I've some aggression on upon my cellmate being unable to shut up!" The two looked up to see Dusky Scales in his flying saucer.

"Scales. How are you doing today?" Sun asked sarcastically.

"Quite fine. I needed some fresh... Don't change the subject. Don't get in my way." He flew his saucer into the building with his enemies following behind.

It was a little hard to pilot the saucer and avoid to colt and mare at the same time. Not to mention, Scales had an extra passenger. Clara had landed inside of the saucer and began to fly around the doctor's head.

"Gah. Shoo!" Scales cried.

"Get him, Clara!" Sea cheered.

"Sea, help me protect the sapphire," Sun said. The two ran to where the gems were kept and someone else was behind them.

"Get out of the way kids," Blaze ordered.

"Listen, let's just make this quick. We've got a history test at the end of the week."

"Okay, I can help with that. Lesson one, don't get in the way with a pony's business." She lit her hooves on fire and tried punching Sea.

"Whoa! Hey! Why me!?" he questioned. "This doesn't even have anything to do with history!"

Sun jumped into action and grabbed Blaze by her tail and pulled her back. The two started throwing a couple of punches while Sea got to safety.

"Okay, get to the gems and keep them safe," he said to himself. He tried to slip into the safe room, but he found that some henchmen blocking his path. "Oh, cut me some slack." He began running and screaming as he tried to get away.

As they did this, Scales looked around for the sapphire on hoof. "Where is it?" he questioned. "It's here somewhere. I know it is." He soon found a safe door, which he used a laser to help cut through it. "There we are!" Sitting on one of the shelves, was a large sapphire.

He was about to pick it up until Sea ran into him. "Aw, man," the colt groaned.

"Get off of me," Scales groaned. Sea saw the sapphire, grabbed it, and ran off. "Get him!"

The henchmen chased the colt, who's screaming was muffled by the sapphire in his mouth. "Sea!" Sun cried.

"Why do you bring him around?" Blaze questioned. Sun didn't answer and knocked her back. Their fight carried on until Clara got involved. Sea gave her the sapphire, which she carried away. Blaze tried shooting the parrot down, which was hard due to Clara's size. "You see, even a bird is better than him."

"And you work for Scales," Sun stated.

Blaze looked back to see Scales flailing around with Sea. "Okay, fair point. But there are a few differences. For one, he’s got gadgets.” Blaze quickly jumped into Scales’s saucer and started working with the controls. He activated a few laser cannons, which Sun and Sea had to dodge.

“Why is she using lasers!?” the colt questioned.

“I’m on it,” Sun cried. She managed to jump off a couple of crates and jumped up to the saucer where she had another deadlock with Blaze.

Clara, meanwhile, was getting tired of flying around for so much while carrying the sapphire. She landed to catch her breath where she was almost immediately snatched up by one of the henchmen as another one picked up the sapphire. “I’ve got it,” he cheered.

“Clara!” Sea cried running over to save his bird. He tackled the henchman who had Clara while the one with the sapphire made a run for it. He tossed it to Dusky Scales, who cheered when he finally had it.

“We got what we came for,” he declared. “Blaze, let’s...” He then noticed the vacuum coming from his saucer sucking up some of the gems. “No, that’ll shatter them.”

“Gems are a lot harder than you think,” Blaze said. She managed to knock Sun out of the saucer before using a robotic arm to pick up the doctor and put him in the saucer. After doing that, they flew out of the hole they made while picking up their henchmen. The mare, colt, and parrot looked at each realizing their failure.

The next day at high school, Sea walked glumly over Sun who was taking some books out of her locker. “Sunny, I’m sorry about letting you down,” he apologized.

“Sea, I don’t blame you,” Sun replied. “Just remember to keep Clara out of the action next time.”

“Pretty bird,” tweeted a voice. Looking behind them, Clara had perched herself on Sea Blend’s back.

“I told you to stay at home,” he said.

“It’s probably because you’ve been spoiling her,” Sun commented.

“Maybe. Anyways, I took your advice on learning in a new way.”

“And what did you do?”

“I put some questions and answers in different boxes and put them in a matching game.”

“How did that go?”

“Would you believe me that Clara did a better job than me.”

“Sea, you can’t keep acting like this.”

“What am I supposed to do? The test is in two days and I don’t even remember the first question.”

“You’re not the only one struggling with this test.”

“...You too, huh?”

“Yeah. Having to save the world doesn’t help either.”

“Probably not. I just wish I could find my way of learning.” Soon they both heard a beeping from Sun’s locker and answered it to see Jade appear.

“Go Jade,” Sun said.

“I’ve been researching where the last gemstone is,” Jade answered. “Ponies say it’s supposed to be diamond, but information about it is almost non-existent.”

“So, you don’t know where it is?”

“Not at the moment. I’ll keep looking for anything useful. Until then, we just hope that Scales isn’t having better luck.”

Dusky was banging his head against the wall to his anger and frustration. “Where is that blasted diamond!?” he cried.

“Seems like the doomsday device isn’t working,” Blaze said sarcastically. She was checking the condition of the gems she stole. “You know, these gems are still good. You can still sell them as well as that to...”

“NO! I’m this close. I’m not going to let my first scheme out of prison go down the drain. I’ve got to figure out where the diamond is.” He smacked his head on the control panel which made a couple of screens pop up. “It’s got to be somewhere. Maybe with the dragons.”

“I bet ten bits that they already ate when you were thrown in jail. Best case scenario.”

“Quiet! You’re not helping.”

“Just thought you start pulling your own weight.” Scales groaned from his assistant’s sass.

“Launch the drones!” Pressing a button, a set of drones with helicopter blades flew out of the lair and across Equestria.

Sun and Sea were just minding their own business during their classes. Sea Blend was writing down almost everything their teacher was talking about. “Now remember,” the stallion said, “This test will be a part of a good chunk of your grades. So, if you hadn’t been studying...” He paused when he heard a buzzing sound. “I thought I kept these windows closed.”

There wasn’t a bug outside the classroom windows, there was a small drone flying outside. “Oh, come on,” Sun and Sea groaned quietly. The drone flew off and the mare colt raised their hooves.

“No one leaves until the bell rings,” the teacher stated. Then they heard it ring. “Okay, class dismissed.” Sun and Sea raced down the hall to the exit.

They got their uniforms and Sun’s necklace started beeping. “You saw the drones?” she asked.

“I was going to ask you the same thing,” Jade responded. “I’ve tried tracking the drones’ destination, but they seem to be moving at random.”

“Scales can’t figure out where the diamond is?”

“Probably not. I’ll keep up my research, keep an eye on one of those drones.”

“Got it.” Clara was flying after the drone and wouldn’t let it out of her sight.

“Clara, get back here,” Sea cried. Some more drones started circling around the colt and mare. “Really?” The drones started firing at them. Sun and Sea were able to dodge them and the mare quickly started smacking some of them down.
Sea managed to run in between some drones. When they fired their lasers, they hit each other instead of Sea.

“We don’t have time for this,” Sun groaned. She activated her necklace to call Jade again. “Jade, please tell me you found anything.”

“Nothing yet,” the green mare replied. “I’m having a bit of trouble hacking into them. You think that you can get me one so I could get a closer look?” As if on cue, one of the drones crashed on the ground with perching herself on it. Aside from its propeller, the drone was completely intact.

“Right now, yes.”

“Okay, I’ll be right over.”

After the chaos, Jade was taking a look at the drone that crashed to the ground. “So, you find anything?” Sun asked.

“We’re about to see,” Jade responded. She plugged a cord from her keyboard as a screen pulled up. “Let’s see here.”

As they did that, Sea was trying to study while Clara helped him. “Okay, so the answer is... Commander Hurricane... Clover the Clever?” Clara shook her head before turning a card over to show the correct answer. “Dang it. I can’t catch a break.”

“Test coming up?”

“Yeah. Say, you wouldn’t be able to...”

“I’m not making you cheat sheet.”

“Come on Jade. I’m all out of options. The answers keep slipping out my other ear.”

“I’ve been studying too,” Sun noted. “Have you been trying a certain style?”

“Nothing works.”

Sun and Jade did feel sorry for the colt. “I can help you study later,” Jade said. “I think I’m onto something.” On the screen, there was a map of Equestria. Jade zoomed in closer to the location.

“So, the diamond’s there?” Sun asked.

“Most likely. You beat Scales there, you’ll be able to stop them.”

“Right. Let’s go Sea.” Sun and Sea raced off with Clara flying after them.

Dusky Scales and Blaze were flying to the mountain in the saucer while towing the doomsday machine. “Okay, so that thing can’t be in the saucer, why?” Blaze asked.

“You saw we couldn’t lift that thing in here,” Scales stated. “So, we just have to deal with this. In my opinion, it’s much more convenient.”

Blaze just rolled her eyes as she looked down at the mountain. She could see some figures at the bottom of it. “No way they beat us here.”

“Who beat us...” He then saw what Blaze was looking at. “Drat!”

“Okay, so you think he has any drones left?” Sea asked.

“Knowing him, I don’t think he would have enough drones.”

“He has to be getting the parts from somewhere. I know it’s likely he’s stealing them but...”

“Will you ever stop foiling my plans?” Scales questioned in anger as he got close enough for his foes to hear.

“Maybe if you start making some good ones,” Sun joked.

The doctor growled. “BLAZE!”

“I’m on it,” the unicorn stated. She jumped down and started another fight with Sun. Sea looked towards Scales, who just looked down at him.

“Eh, you shouldn’t be too much trouble,” Scale scoffed. Using his saucer’s robotic arm to push Sea out of the way, but that didn’t please Clara at all. She flew up to the doctor and tried pecking his face. “Ow! Hey! Watch the scar!”

“Get him, Clara!” Sea cheered.

“Look, I’m almost done with this plan, so just get out of the way and we try something smart,” Blaze said to Sun pinning her down.

“Then why do you still work for Scales?” Sun asked. She managed to roll over, but in this action, Blaze managed to throw her. However, the mare recovered and jumped off the mountain walls before tackling the unicorn that threw her.

Sea realized he didn’t have anything going on. His friends were fighting the bad guys so he thought he would make himself useful by looking for the diamond. He found a cave, which turned out to have a couple of gemstones inside. “This must be it,” he said to himself. The cave was a little small, so Sea had to crawl to get through.

Eventually, he saw some embedded in the wall at the end of the cave. It was shiny, blue, and quite big. “Oh, yeah, that’s a diamond,” Sea commented. He tried to pull the diamond out, but it was quite stuck. “Come on,” he groaned. Suddenly, with a pop, the diamond came out of the wall.

However, the cave then started to crumble. “Oh, crud.” Sea quickly made his way towards the exit with the diamond.

Sun, Blaze, Scales, and Clara could hear the rumble as Sea made it out of the cave. “Oh, what did he do?” Blaze questioned. Then, they saw the diamond.

“Finally,” Scales cried. He used his saucer’s arm to try and grab the diamond, but Clara kept getting in the way. Though, this was the least of their worries. The low rumbling was sending bad signals.

“Sun, please don’t tell me that’s what I think it is?” Sea begged.

“No, that’s an avalanche,” the mare commented. Not wanting to be buried, the ponies and bird all made a run for it. Scales and Blaze tried to get away in the saucer but towing the doomsday device slowly the saucer down.

Sea quickly picked up Sun to help her get away from the avalanche. “I never meant for this to happen,” Sea cried with the diamond in his mouth.

“I know that,” Sun replied. The colt wasn’t very strong as he struggled to keep his friend up. “Sea, get me to the doomsday device, but first, spit out the diamond.”

Sun’s friend did so, spitting the diamond out which was quickly lost in the avalanche. “No, I need that diamond!” Scales cried. He flew his saucer to try and rescue the gem, which gave his enemies the perfect opening for Sun to land on the doomsday device.

“Now, where are those gems?” She managed to find a loose panel which she tossed off. However, it was far too small for her to crawl through. Clara landed next to the mare, who had an idea. “Clara, can you get the gems inside this machine?” The parrot crawled inside the machine and looked around.

Blaze didn’t say anything as she watched Scales search in a panic. Then she finally noticed Sun being given the gems from Clara. “Hey!” the unicorn cried.

“Later,” Sun smirked. Sea managed to pick her up and fly off, but not before knocking the machine overboard.

“...Welp, I knew this would fail.”

Scales could see his machine falling. “NO!” he screamed. The machine was swept up by the avalanche and destroyed. “I’ll get you Sun Regional!” He then looked towards Blaze. “So, you still have your gems?”

“You get the gems you steal.” The doctor just sighed as his enemies flew away to return the topaz and sapphire.

After that, Sun and Sea had done their history tests. “So, you think that Jade helped you remember?” Sun asked.

“I think so,” Sea replied. They both received their papers and saw their grades. Sun had received an A- while Sea had gotten a B. “Yes!” the colt cheered.

“See, you were worrying about nothing.”

“I say we celebrate with a Sea sandwich.”

“You mean the one as big as your head?”

“What other sandwich is there?” Sun just rolled her eyes as they walked down the hall. “So, you think you can answer this? Say that Scales powered up his doomsday device, where would he be if it went off?”

“He’s not exactly the sharpest tool in the shed.”

“True.”

“So, what do you think?” Pate asked.

“It’s pretty nice,” Pearl commented.

“The villain could use some work though,” Gale commented.

“Well, he could be a sort of joke villain,” Sandbar said. “There are a couple in the Power Pony comics.”

“I think there are a couple more villains I was thinking of,” Pate explained. “Ugh, who’s next?”

“Let’s find out,” Discord said. With another pull on his horn, the chairs lit up again until the next student that was selected was Silverstream.

“Ooh, yeah,” she cheered. She showed a drawing of a hippogriff that was blue with a black mane and an E on its chest. “I’ll call this Elastic Fantastic. Basically her body is made of rubber and she can mold herself into almost every shape she wants.”

“Sounds like my kind of hippogriff. Do you have a story for her?”

“Well... Not really. I got excited to just turn her in and I never thought of a story for her.”

“I did say stories were optional.” With Silverstream having nothing else to say, Discord pulled his horn again and the chairs lit up again. This time landing on Emerald. “So, what do you have?”

“Well, Peri and I sort of shared our heroes to make a superhero duo,” the dragoness explained. She showed a drawing of two similar-looking dragonesses.

They looked like Emerald and Peridot and they looked identical apart from their colors. One was red with a yellow belly, the other was blue with a green belly. Both their eyes were silver, though the blue and green ones had faded pupils. Both of them had white ram-like horns and each had different elements coming from their claws. The red and yellow one was generating fire and a small twister while the other was levitating water and stone.

“Who are they?” Gallus questioned.

“This is Sparks and Flow,” Emerald explained. “They’re both siblings who were basically lab rats. Let me explain.”

“Oh, good,” Sulcus cooed, “Another story.” And he listened to what Emerald had to say.
