Child of the sky

Chapter five: Meeting old friends and enemies Zap's journal

Well, today's the day me and Twilight go to canterlout to have dinner with Shiny and his wife Cadence. I personally know both of them Shiny was my best friend and second in command when I was captain of the royal guard. How I know Cadence is because I had to escort her when she had her own royal duties to attend to both of them were my friends and I felt so bad about missing they're wedding because of the changelings. Man I swear me and the changelings are out for each other's blood I got into a fight with Chrysalis when I was fighting against one of they're raiding groups and man she sure is strong but I have fought against almost everything in Equestria even got into a fight with Tia man she sure is strong but she just couldn't keep up with a "Child of the sky" we are far to fast for even a alicorn to catch up with.

"Well, are we ready Twi I want to get to canterlout soon I would prefer to fly their but you don't have wings and we can't get a personal carriage there." I was never much of a pony who liked trains I find them way to loud and take far to long but I was willing to deal with it so I could spend some time with my friends.

"Yea we're already to go Zap I can't wait to see Shining and Cadence again." Twi has told me a few stories about how Shiny was the best big brother ever and I can't complain about that he really was a cool guy and he was great at defensive magic to which made it hard to fight him when we were sparing when I was with the royal guards.

  A couple hours later we finally made it and I already put on my suit and Twi put on her dress . It was really simple looking but it fit her well it was a birthday gift from Rarity but I would never think Rarity would use something as simple as that. It was yellow and with a pink bow that went from the front of her chest to the back it looked liked Apple Bloom's bow but the dress did look good and I heard it was really popular here in canterlout.

"Oh Twi I just remembered I wanted you to meet an old friend of mine. She's a good pony but she is a loud mouth and a boaster but that's just her putting up an act. She's really misunderstood and so far it sounds like I'm her only friend so do you and the others think you can try to be her friend to?"

"Sure Zap I'm sure she will be a great pony." We made it to a small cafe where I saw my old friend she had a dark but light blue coat, and a light blue mane and lavender eye's

"Trixie over here" Trixie saw me and got right up from her seat ignoring her spilled drink.

"Zap how has the 'Great and Powerful Trixie's" friend been Trixie demands to know? Wait what is she doing her she is the one who ruined Trixie and embarrassed Trixie"

"What? Twi is this true is this why I haven't been able to get a hold of her there was a scroll message receiver I gave her and she didn't respond and I didn't know why now let me here the story between what happened and Trixie what did I saw about talking in the third-person when you weren't on stage." So after hearing the story about what happened when Trixie showed up I was shocked that my friends had no idea it was all an act but Trixie does have a habit about getting to carried away when she was on stage and can get annoying a bit but they should know what acting is.

"Okay now that I heard the story let me explain what went wrong here. Trixie you can get to carried away in your performance and it can get annoying and frustrating at times but you can't go boasting saying that you're the best. Now Twilight you guys should have know she was in character for performance to get the crowds attention so that doesn't mean to show her up and now let's all calm down I don't want my friends fighting." So after a while I finally got Trixie to calm down and she finally dropped her "Great and Powerful Trixie" act and finally started to be herself.

"I'm sorry Trixie I should have know it was an act and I didn't mean to ruin or embarrass you. I only stopped that ursa to keep it from destroying the town."

"Trixie, I mean I understand Twilight sparkle I can get carried away in my act and get out of hand but that's just a act so I can keep the crowds attention."

"Good now both of you made up now we can finally relax." I was able to stop a conflict between friends but I will have to help Trixie out now that I know what happens maybe I can take her with me back to Ponyville and she can properly say that she's sorry. Trixie may act all high and mighty but that's just because she's easily misunderstood because of her act but outside of the show Trixie is a really great friend when you get to know her.

"Well see you later Trixie and how about you meet us at the Silver Hoof hotel that's where Twi and I are spending the night but I can give you some bits so you can get a room and I want you to become friends with every pony in ponyville." So making sure Trixie knew where to go we made our way to Shiny's house so we could make sure they were ready to.

So after a little lunch with Trixie I had to make a stop at the Canterlout palace. When we reached the gates the guards opened the gates right up knowing I was their old captain it was good to see some old faces and I was still glad they showed the respect they did when I was captain.

"Well it seems we have a important guest among us" Tia also know as the co ruler of equestria princess celestia but I never liked formalities and she didn't seem to mind as I called her Tia

"Well you're right but also wrong. I am no longer the captain of the royal guard but I do have respect from the guards and almost everyone in Canterlout. So Tia how has it been being the co ruler now since I heard the story about what happened with Nightmare Moon I would really like to meet Luna." Twi gave me a small punch because I didn't say princess before saying luna but I don't care formality is pretty stupid if you ask me.

"Of course I know you never meet her before. Luna where are you there's someone her who wishes to meet you."

"We are  on thy way sister now who is it thy request a audience with us." When Tia explained to Luna who I was she seemed to be calmer than she was before and I must say she really is a beautiful mare with her dark blue coat, with a mane that had the stars in them.

"It is thy pleasure to meet thy Zap we have heard many of thy's adventures and bravery"

"It's nothing really I need something to do and I was perfect for the job but after major injury's that were all my fault I quit knowing it could happen again and can you please talk normal."

"Of course it is not your fault Zap it was the enemies." So after about two hours with the co rulers they had to take care of their duties so me and twilight went to Shiny's house which was really the main reason why I'm here to have a nice dinner.

"Oh man I'm really nervous what if Shiny is made at me for missing the wedding I was supposed to be the best man for Celestia's sake." But then again this is why I'm here to explain myself to Shiny why I missed the wedding because I was fighting a army of changelings. Right when we were about to knock the door flew upon and I saw Shiny all dressed up with a smile on his face.

"Zap there you are how's my best friend and fellow captain been" I big relief came from me he wasn't mad at me it seems like and then Cadence came out and then she began to hug me.

"Zap there you are I haven't seen you in ages how have you been holding up." After I answered her question she walked over to Twilight and I knew she was Twilight's foalsitter from the story's she told me and I knew what was to come so me and shiny just waited knowing what they were going to do"

In unison they both were singing and dancing to the old nursery rhyme "Sunshine, Sunshine, Lady bugs awake, Clop you hooves and do a little shake" I couldn't help but laugh a little it was good to see that even if Shiny and Cadence were married they still had the inner child in them.

"So are we all ready for dinner me and Twi got a little lunch before we came here and I'm really hungry." Then all of a sudden all of our stomachs growled and began the laughter we were all hungry by how much our noise our stomach was making.

When we made it to the restaurant I couldn't help feel like I knew someone when all of a sudden I knew this feeling this magic it was the queen of the changelings Chrysalis and it seemed Shiny, Twilight, and even cadence knew it was her."

"CHRYSALIS WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE" I was furious I was at war with her for years and she had the guts to show up like this as if mocking me.

"Oh I'm just saying hi to a my old enemy and I wanted to fight you again it's been age" She had the nerve to challenge me right there that just got my blood pumping I knew how strong she was but I was to mad that I spent years looking for her and she just showed up like this

"Not if we have anything to say about this" Shining and Cadence were going to use the spell they used to defeat the changelings but I stopped them

"Zap what are you doing we need to stop her" Shining saw the look in my eye's and understood fully well that I was serious and was going to take her on alone but I had to show my biggest secret that no one knew besides princess celestia.

"Oh finally have the nerve to show your true form Zap or maybe I should let them tell you who you really are" In that instant my body was charging at a extreme rate with lighting shooting out of every direction and when a huge lightning bolt hit me I knew this was it my biggest secret. When the smoke was clearing I saw the looks on their face the surprise, the shock, the amazement. In front of them was a fully grown Alicorn with a coat as dark as the storm clouds. A mane of gold that looked a big had lightning bolts flowing in it with the black singed on the end. With the blood red eye's that struck fear in my enemies.

"But what Zap how did you, your a alicorn." Shining and Cadence were to shocked to speak so I explained.

"Yes I am a alicorn but I can change myself to look like Zap but without my horn my true name is Storm ruler of the skies father of all the children of the skies and he who was originally supposed to rule all of equestria the first born of Celestia and Luna I am there older brother I erased all my appearances in history so when the day needed I would reclaim the thrown but now I must stop you." The dark storm clouds above took the notice of both Celestia and Luna knowing their older brother was truly back.

"Now prepare to banished from equestria Chrysalis" She was to stunned by my fierce appearance my blood red eye's looking at her directly giving her my death stare that made Fluttershy's "Stare" look like a school filly's cutest face she could make.

"But how I new you were hiding something but not this but I won't back down" I started to charge up magic in my horn making Chrysalis unable to move and began shocking her. The screams we're loud and then my younger sister's showed up and they to looked at me in fear.

"Storm why are you back you told us that you weren't going to change back like that unless there was something important."

"Well I had enough of my people suffering from this changeling and now I'm taking back my place as king of equastria to banish all evil from equestria. Now then I have to take care of something" I walked over to Chrysalis who looked like should would faint of fear if she wasn't in my magic grip that was shocking her

"Now begone from my land and don't ever let me catch even a tiniest bit of your magic." I then threw her out side of my land and the magic would also take any other changeling's in this land.

"Well I'm back and ready to reclaim the thrown"

I never thought I would have to be "Storm ruler of the skies and of equestria but I knew I could no longer let my people suffer and that will conclude this entry using so much magic after a long time can tire you out even if you are a alicorn."

Surprise I bet you weren't expecting that to happen I told you their would be surprises now I'm going to be off their probably won't be a new chapter tomorrow because I will need time to think of what to do next.
