As the main six returned with Discord in tow they spotted Amiticia healing ponies who were injured because of the vines with Spitfire there too.

"Captain Spitfire? What are you doing here ma'm?" Rainbow Dash asked.

"Chill Dash, I got word that there was a bit of an incident involving an outbreak of vines." Spitfire said.

"I sent her a message. Didn't want it to come as a surprise. Thankfully like I thought, you and your friends took care of the vines while I hung back and did some healing." Amiticia said. Spitfire managed to get the last pony who was injured into the tent the two set up.

"That's that last of them. Do you got it from here?" Spitfire asked Amiticia.

"Yep. Thanks for the help. We haven't been formally introduced though. You must be Spitfire, current captain of the wonderbolts. You may call me Amiticia." Amiticia said. Suddenly Spitfire froze.

"...That name...it's in Latin." Spitfire said.

"I didn't know you knew Latin." Rainbow Dash said.

"I do. But it doesn't come up very often." Spitfire said.

"Then you know that 'Amiticia' is the latin word for 'friendship'. So you know he's a good changeling." Twilight said.

"No offense Princess, but I knew that from seeing him help these ponies." Spitfire said. "But the whole latin naming thing...I thought for sure that my father was going to be the last person to ever encounter a changeling with a latin name." She added.

"Does that mean something to you, Spitfire?" Rainbow Dash said.

"Yeah. It most certainly does. First thing tomorrow, I'm getting you all on the first train to a very special place called Radical Junction." Spitfire said.

"Woo! Field Trip!" Pinkie Pie said, suddenly showering the place with confetti making Spitfire look at the pink pony with confusion.

"Trust me Captain...it's best you don't question it." Twilight said.

"And that means something coming from Ponyville's resident egghead." Rainbow Dash said. Spitfire couldn't help but chuckle at that part.

"Egghead? That's a new one. Gonna have to remember that one the next time I catch a Wonderbolt Cadet reading a dictionary." Spitfire said.


The next day the group was on a train to a small western town called Radical Junction. While not that big, it was very western. Thing was it was no where near Appaloosa. Instead, the place was clear near the boarder between Equestria and the Badlands.

"Wait this place..." Amiticia said. "I feel like I know this place..." He added.

"It probably has to do with the changeling king. See, Chrysalis wasn't always the sole ruler of the changelings. There used to be a changeling king, known as Amare." Spitfire said.

"Amare...that's the latin word for 'love'." Twilight said.

"And once again, Twilight shows off how much of a nerd she is." Rainbow Dash said.

"Must be nice to be such a close friend of a princess like that..." Spitfire said under her breath. "ANYWAYS, you see a thousand years ago, there used to be a big battle here. These strange demonic creatures lead by this solid black shadow creature that was clearly their boss once tried to take over equestria." Spitfire said. "It's known as the 'Battle of Junction Hill', and apptly named too: The climax of the battle took place on the hill that overlooks this town and this town formed beneath it. In honor of the battle, the town became known as Radical Junction." She explained. "Now follow me to the graveyard on the hill." Spitfire said before leading the group to a graveyard. At this graveyard, there were six pony names for sure, but the other six other small gravestones had names that were most piacular.

"These names...they are all various latin words." Twilight said.

"Yep. In that battle, in order to defeat the mysterious black shadow creature, six unicorn mages and six changelings all banded together to seal away the beast. The spell cost them their lives, but it was a sacrifice they were all willing to pay, especially after Amare had spared my father from becoming one of those who could've died from the beast before these twelve souls came together to seal the Black Shadow away." Spitfire said.

"So that's why you know latin...it's because of father..." Amiticia said. "I remember now...I remember I was the last changeling born before that battle. Father was the one who named me." Amiticia said. "And for years, I wanted to uphold father's wish. I remember that before he left for that battle, he told me that his wish was for Changelings and Ponies to live in harmony." He said.

"Maybe there's still a way we can. We just need to figure out a way to kick Chrysalis off her high horse." Rainbow Dash said.

"Maybe maybe not. But father would not have approved of the violence. No. I say we try to make her see what father must have saw in ponies first before we try anything more." Amiticia said. "It's what father would have wanted us to do..." He added.

"Your the last of the latin named changelings Amiticia. Therefor by default, that makes you the heir to and executor of Amore's will." Spitfire said.

"But she tried to brainwash you!" Rainbow Dash told Amiticia said.

"I know...but we have to try." Amiticia said. "Otherwise, when my time to die does come, I don't know if I can look father in the eye." Amiticia said.

"Eh...good point..." Rainbow Dash said. Suddenly the entire earth started to shake.

"What the...what's going on?!" Twilight exclaimed.
