MLP: Agents of Harmony Season 1
Episode 7- Amending Fences
Previous ChapterNext ChapterA lot as happen in Equestira, with the Summit, Welcoming the Yaks and Matilda's Wedding, everyone decided to take a long break on the weekend. As Mane Five and Cutie Mark Crusaders minding their own usual business, Twilight and her family did as well.
Within the living chamber of castle, Twilight was reading a book called 'The Legend of Three Kingdoms' to the happy Twinkle. The little purple Alicorn has the interest on the Knighton's history and story very much since her father's stories and her adventure from it. It was very memorable and special for her.
Spike entered the Living Room as he was dressed in maid since he was helping Bishop and Metal Ponies in washing some dishes and other tableware after three events.
Spike sighed in annoyance as he approached his family, "You know the worst thing about you being the Princess of Friendship? The dishes." He took one of his gloves off and then his maid dress, "Glad we have those Metal Ponies, otherwise I would have been damn tired."
Twilight smiled as she glanced at adopted son, "Thanks for taking care of that, Spike. After three events in one week, I really needed to relax with a good book."
"Yeah, no kidding." Twinkle nodded in agreement, "I'm just glad that you and daddy finally got over that mess. Can you imagine? Three weeks fighting over 'friends with the Yaks' while last two events, everything went smooth and no argument until today."
"Tell me about it," Spike nodded in agreement as he climbed up the sofa and sat on it. He took the book out from back of his pillow. He read it while commented, "It's kinda funny, isn't it? All these ponies comin' to you for advice about friendship?"
Twilight stopped her reading as she looked at Spike, "What's funny about that?"
Twilight climbed down while levitating her book. She wanted to put it back in the bookshelf.
Spike smirked, "You know, 'cause you used to be famous for being such a bad friend."
"Huh? Is it true, mum?" Twinkle asked curiously.
As Twilight put the book back on the shelf, she turned to her children with shock and disbelief expression, "What are you talking about? I had good friends in Canterlot."
"Come on, Twilight. Look at the wall." Spike insisted as he pointed his finger at the portraits from the wall. As Twilight approached and looked at them, he continued, "D'ya see any photos from before we moved to Ponyville? And look at you now – the Princess of Friendship."
She hummed thoughtfully as she climbed down and approached her mother, "I hate to admit it but Spike's right. I'd never met any of your old friends. You'd never talk about them as well. You were bad friend to your old friends, weren't you?"
As Twilight looked closely at her coronation portrait and others, she thought carefully. She gasped in shock and realization, "This is a disaster! All my old friends! I can't remember any of their names right now!" She turned and looked at Spike and Nyx, "But do you really think that they think I'm a bad friend?!"
Twinkle groaned a bit while glaring at Spike, "Way to go, Spike - you've just made mum panicked again."
Spike yelped, "Well, I only meant that you've come so far. You're a great friend now and—"
"Oh, I feel terrible!" Twilight said in shame. She gasped, "I've gotta make it up to them!"
"Hey, what's going on? "Ash asked as he ,Crystalforce, and Pikachu and her daughter just finished their training
Ashley nodded, "Heard something about bad friend you've make. Is it true?"
Twilight nodded, "Yes. I want to make up for them. After all these years, I'd never bother to see or visit them since I've make my friendship with Ponyville friends here. I feel terrible for being a bad friend to them." She sighed, "I feel guilty. I hope they forgive my rude and uncivilized behavior after all these years. They were my friends..."
Ash sighed of what he just heard. He remembered his betrayal to his own friends and family when he joined Dark Mayhem and his rebellion in making the world a better place. But at the end, he saved and rescued them while defeating him and his minions.
While he amended that to his family and friends, there was someone he hasn't amended. He still feel guilty and responsible for him...
"I'm pretty sure that you guys are tired now. You do not to go," Twilight said.
No... We're going together."
"Really? Why?"
"There's some place I want to visit especially a friend to see."
"I understand. But where is it? Who is he?"
"It's... It's personal, Twilight."
"Alright... I guess we're bringing everyone to Canterlot, right?" Twilight asked curiously. Ash nodded in agreement. She smiled as she turned to her children, "Pack a bag, everypony! We're going to Canterlot! And Spike, make a list of my friends' names."
"I'd tell Bishop of our early trip. I'll get Pikachu ready in my Summon Gem. Don't want to leave him behind. He's getting grumpy lately."
As both the immortal ponies headed out the libary, Spike, Twinkle, Crystalforce, and Ashley have their own discussion.
"Aw. Me and my big mouth." Spike groaned.
Ashley smirked, "It looks like we're going to Canterlot for Friendship Amending. Mum and dad are gonna be very busy with it. Wow, this is surprisingly turn of the event."
Twinkle giggled, "You've said it. I can't wait to meet these friends of hers. I hope nothing bad happens to them both when they visit and apologized to their friends."
"Yeah, me too. And hopefully, no more parents argument," Crystalforce remarked.
Everyone went to their rooms and packing their stuffs up. The family are going to Canterlot.
Unknown to Twilight and her friends, someone was watching the event. He was shrouded in darkness beneath the tree. His shadowy head has the shape of bat and his body shown have strange yet titanium armor-like. His eyes glowed in crimson darkness like he was in rage. Who is he? And why?
"I'll have my revenge, Ash Ketchum."
...
...
Twilight have Spike and Twinkle riding on her back as she flew straight to the Canterlot Castle. Both As the Human Ponies, Lance and Ash can levitated and flew. They both followed Twilight straight to her old home. As Twilight and two Human Ponies landed on the ground, Spike and Twinkle climbed down from her back. The family followed her towards her old Home Library where she lives since she became Princess Celestia's Prize Pupil.
Twilight and her family entered the library. It was a mess since no one has lived here for a long time. Twilight and Spike haven't been here for nearly five years.
"So, this is where you lived to study under Celestia's tutelage?" Ash asked curiously.
Ashley looked at Library Hall, "Wow... Definitely a big mess..."
Twinkle patted the pillow from the sofa. It puffed some dusts out in making her cough, "And dusty too..."
Twilight climbed up the stairs to the top. Her family looked worry and concern for her. They followed her up. They came to the library section. It was more messier than the hallway.
"Oh... It's exactly how we left it!" Twilight approached to the book stand. She blew the dusts off from her old book. She recognized it in learning Nightmare Moon's return. She commented, "Look! It's Predictions and Prophecies! And it's still open to the Elements of Harmony!"
Spike gasped as he picked the torn Teddy Bear, "And here's that present I was gonna give Moon Dancer! Huh. Guess she won't be needing that." He threw it off. He picked the broken present, "Hey, look! The rest of it's still here!"
"Moon Dancer?" Twnkle asked curiously.
Spike nodded, "Twilight's closest best friend she ever had since they're both eggheads."
Ashley chuckled a bit, "Pretty obvious..."
"How could I have let this happen? It's a total mess!" Twilight said in shock and upset of what she saw her old home. She then looked at the window, "Just like how I left my friendships."
Ash approached and patted Twilight's back, "You didn't know it, Twilight. From what Spike and Nyx told me about your first adventure, Princess Celestia gave you an assignment. Don't blame yourself. Mine is the worst."
"Ash... I'm sorry," Twilight said regretfully and upset as she turned to her lover and family. She sighed, "I guess we both make terrible mistakes. I've got to make it up toooo... uh..."
"Minuette, Twinkleshine, Lemon Hearts, Lyra Heartstrings, and Moon Dancer." Spike listed all of her friends down.
Twilight smiled and nodded, "Yeah. Them..."
"Wait... Didn't we see Lyra Heartstrings back from our home?" Ashley asked in surprised, "We've missed her. I didn't know she lived in Canterlot too. And of course, I didn't know she was mum's best friend."
Twinkle shrugged, "Me neither..."
"What's next," Ash asked curiously.
Twilight smiled, "Isn't it obvious? Research!"
Both Ashley and Spike grunted a bit to hear the word while Twinkle smiled happily. They're going to spent a long night to do research on Twilight's old friends - Minuette, Twinkleshine, Lemon Hearts, Lyra Heartstrings and Moon Dancer. She hoped that she can apologized her action to them while they forgive her as well.
...
...
During the night time, five robbers arrived at the Canterlot Bank. They unlocked the lock before entered the building. They avoided from being caught by some securities by hiding behind the pillars, crates or artifacts. They then approached to the vault where the golds and bits have hidden. They smirked darkly as they looked at each other. They then approached it as they prepared to open it.
"You know... It's nighttime now, don't you, boys?" The firm voice asked in annoyance. The robbers turned and glared at him. He continued, "And by the way, it's not a very good for you to rob the bank too."
The robbers took their Gem Revolvers and aimed them at the mysterious warrior. He chuckled in amusement as he took his Crimson Blaster.
"Big Mistake, losers. You're gonna go to hell!"
Before any of the robbers could fire, the warrior fired his Crimson Blaster at them to death. He smirked darkly beneath his mask as he used his grappling launcher as he escaped the area. The securities came to the vault at once in finding the source of noise. They found three dead robbers. They all wondered - what has happened here?!
...
...
Moring had come and Ashley and Spike were a little sleepy headed after they stayed all night doing research. Ash came by which Pikachu in his gem.
"I'm taking Lance to meet him. I want to show our son something important as well. It won't be long, I promised."
"While the rest will find and meet my old friends," Twilight added. She looked closely at the notes, "I did a little research, and I think I know where we can find Minuette! That is one of my friends, right?"
Twinkle nooded Nyx nodded happily while the Spike grunted a bit. She asked, "Once we find our friends, where do you think we should meet?"
Twilight smiled, "Once we find the rest of my friends, we'll contact through mind-link about the place we're meeting up."
"Got it. Good luck."
"You too..."
...
...
At Minuette's Home which has the hourglass logo on the building, Twilight Sparkle knocked the door in hoping to see her old friend. Nyx and Spike were there to accompany her.
"Uh, it's not too late to forget I opened my big mouth." Spike commented in concern.
Twilight Sparkle turned and looked at Spike, "No, Spike, I'm glad you opened your big mouth. These ponies have probably been suffering ever since I left. Wondering why their supposed friend would treat them so badly!"
Twinkle shook her head while smiled in amusement, "Mummy, you're being drama again. I'm sure they understand it well."
Twilight sighed, "I wish I could share same optimistic. I really wish. I'd never bother to visit or check on them because I was too focused on my studies than my friendship."
As the door was opened in half way, Twilight and her family turned and looked at the inside. They wondered if Minuette was inside her home or not.
"Twilight Sparkle!" Minuette exclaimed happily as she emerged from her house. She giggled, "You old so-and-so! What are you doing here?!"
"Hey, Spike!" Minuette greeted Spike. She then looked at Nyx who was waving at her. It made her gasp in surprise and shock, "Oh my gosh! This must be Twinkle!" She giggled as she held and touched her face. She pressed her cheeks softly and gently, "She is so cute! Just like her mummy! I actually like her face because that was too cute!"
Minuette let Twinkle go from her hooves. She approached and looked at Twilight's wings in making her old friend walk down to the ground, "Look at these wings, huh?!"
Minuette giggled as she levitated the camera out from her home. She passed it to Spike. She then levitated Twinkle in putting near to Twilight Sparkle.
"Grab a picture of me and the princess, will ya?!" Minuette asked happily, which make Spike nodded. She turned and looked at Twilight Sparkle and Twinkle, "I tried to tell my co-workers we used to be friends back when." She giggled happily, "But they've never believed me!"
As Spike was focusing the camera, Minuette instructed Twilight Sparkle and Twinkle to fluff their wings up. As they did, Minuette moved to the middle in lifting her hooves up like she was flying. But nevertheless, they smiled happily. Spike took a picture of it.
"So what are you doing here? I mean, I know you're here all the time, but you never come to see me." Minuette commented. She gasped, "Hey! I just had the greatest idea! You wanna go see Lemon Hearts and Twinkleshine?"
"Of course! My old friends!" Twilight Sparkle exclaimed happily.
"It'll be great! Come on! Let's fly!" Minuette giggled playfully as she jumped over Twilight like she was flying, "Get it?"
Minuette headed off. Twilight and her family followed her as they chatted with each other for a while.
"This is perfect! I can apologize to all three of them at once!" Twilight Sparkle smiled happily.
Spike remarked sarcastically, "Let's hope they're not as traumatized as Minuette."
Twinkle giggled, "Come on, Spike. She's just exciting and happy to see mummy. Come to think of it... Minuette reminds me of Aunt Pinkie. Hmm... I wonder how's daddy and Ashley doing now..."
...
...
Ash and Ashley looked up as they found some robbers emerged from the jewelry shop. They held the bag of jewels and gems as well as the Gem Revolvers. They both knew what was that about. The robbers were about to make their escape.
Ash and Ashley were about to attack but stopped as they spotted a Royal Guard standing in the robber's way.
"Hold it! You're not getting through me, without the fight!" Flash Sentry exclaimed firmly. The robbers laughed in amusement as they held their gem revolvers up and aimed at him. He narrowed his determined eyes, "Just because you have those weapons, doesn't mean I'm gonna get scared. Do your worst!"
Ashely gasped as he was about to make a move but was stopped by his father. For some reason, he decided not to get involved in the matters but watched only. His daughter sighed as he just watch only yet worried for Flash Sentry.
As the robbers fired their Gem Revolvers at Flash Sentry, he dodged them before dashed to the front. He kicked the first one-off, before swiping his leg at the second one and then using his wings to flap the third one-off. The fourth one charged in and gave Flash a hard knock to the ground. Fifth and Sixth charged in as they kicked on him but he quickly rolled aside. He kicked them both out in getting up. The fourth was about to attack but Flash flipped his right hoof back in knocking the robber out.
BANG! Flash got his right-wing shot. He grunted a bit as he looked and found the seventh robber had shot him. He and his gang surrounded him as they were about to punch him. Both of them dashed to the front.
"You know one thing I can't stand the most," Ash said bitterly.
Ashley nodded, "Trying to cheat out of the way."
Flash Sentry gasped in surprise at what he saw. Both Human Ponies charged straight in at once. The robbers were about to fire their Gem Revolvers but they got disarmed by the Human Father and Daughter in a second. Angered and upset as the robbers tried to land a punch on them but they dodged and avoided the attacks. As soon as the robbers got tired and exhausted, Ash and Ashley took them down with ease without putting much effort.
The robbers were defeated. More Royal Guards came and arrested them while two of them brought the gems and jewels back to the jewelry store. As the Medic Pony treated Flash Sentry's injury, Ash, and Ashely
"You okay?" He asked.
"Just a scratch. I'm fine. Thanks," Flash thanked happily. As soon as his wing got treated, he stood up and bowed before Ash "Mr. Ketuchm, it's an honor to meet you here! I'm your biggest fan since the third war!"
"Oh?"
"Yes, it's true! I've been reading all of your adventures and battle! I even watch the clips about you! They were amazing! To meet you here is my greatest pleasure, sir! And sorry for being embarrassed in front of you."
"It's okay. Lots of ponies got injured during the last fight. No difference at all."
"But you - your speed and strength - they're amazing! You beat them in a second! I want to be fast and strong as you, sir! Will you train me like your protégé? I would be honored to fight alongside you."
"Train you?" Ash asked in concern. Flash nodded happily. He hissed, "I don't know... I don't think it's good idea..."
Ashely gasped in shock and surprise of what he just heard. His father never turn anyone down especially training someone who sees him as his hero. Flash was shocked and disappointed as well.
Flash sighed, "I understand... Sorry for the mess..."
Ashley gave a nudge to her father's stomach. The father yelped as he looked at his angry son. He groaned a bit yet he also feel bad for turning Flash down.
"How about this? If you prove yourself, I may reconsider..." Ash sighed.
"Really?" Flash asked hopefully. Both nodded in agreement. He smiled as he bowed, "I promised you that I won't let you down!"
Ash sighed as he muttered, "It's me that I shouldn't let you down..."
"Dad?" Ashley asked in concern, "What are you afraid of?"
Ash hummed calmly and closed his eyes as if he was receiving a call from his mental link. He smiled, "It looks like your mum has found the place - Donut Joe's Shop. Let's go and meet them now. Flash, you can come too as well."
Ash nodded, "Got it!"
Flash smiled, "I'll be honored, sir. Thank you!"
BANG! All three ponies yelped in shock. They quickly turned to the front. They found six arrested robbers killed. Royal Guards were in shock as well as the citizens of Canterlot. The trio was too. Who could have done this?!
A sudden chill went through their spine, as someone was watching the event. They turned to search for the chill they felt.
Flash looked up. He noticed a strange pony dressed in titanium armor with black patterned crimson jumpsuit-like and worn the modern bat helmet-like with two digitalized crimson eyes standing on the branch. Ash and Ashley noticed it as well. The mysterious warrior quickly launched his grappling launcher in escaping.
Who was that? Could he be the one who killed the robbers? Why would he do it?
"I have the feeling that we'll meet him soon..." Flash said in concern.
...
At modernized and rich Donut Joe's Shop, Twilight was chatting and giggling with her three friends - Twinkleshine, Minuette and Lemon Hearts as well as eating their donuts. Nyx was with her mother while Spike was ordering his donut.
"She did! Twinkleshine literally spit out her oats when she heard you were the Princess of Friendship!" Minuette remarked before taking a bite on her donut.
Twinkleshine nodded, "We saw you at the coronation. That was some shindig!"
"You did?" Twilight asked in surprise.
"Sure! We see you all the time!" Twinkleshine smiled.
"You remember our old friend, Lyra, right? She lives in Ponyville, too. We're always over there visiting her. Or she's coming over here!" Minuette giggled happily as she levitated the donut up before eating it, "We've thought about asking you to join us from time to time, but we just sorta figured you'd moved on."
Twilight looked down in shame of what she head. Her three Unicorn friends remained silent as they were surprised by her reaction. She usually never be quiet or reacted to their comments. Nyx was worried for her now as she knew the look very well.
Lemon Hearts broke the silence by clearing her throat, "So what brings you by anyway? All those times you've come back to Canterlot, you never had donuts with us before."
"Mummy..." Twinkle said in concern
"Well, uh, you see..." Twilight struggled in speaking out. She sighed, "I came to apologize."
Twinkleshine, Lemon Hearts and Minuette looked surprise and shock of what they just heard.
Minuette swallowed the donut into her stomach as she asked, "For what?"
"Before I left Canterlot, I didn't really appreciate my friends. And that's because I didn't know how important friendship was." Twilight explained shamefully. She then faced and looked at her old friends. She spoke calmly, "But I've learned so much since I moved to Ponyville. I learned what it means to be a good friend and that I certainly wasn't one to the three of you. So for all the pain I caused you, I am truly sorry."
Twinkleshine, Minuette and Lemon Hearts were silent for the moment. They smiled as they giggled in amusement. Twilight Sparkle and Nyx were surprise and shock by their reaction. They find it funny?
"Oh, come on, Twilight!" Minuette said happily, "Sure, it might've stung a little bit when you ran off to Ponyville without saying goodbye, but it's not like we weren't used to that from you!"
Twinkleshine nodded, "Yeah, we didn't take it personally."
"But it's really good to see you now." Lemon Hearts said happily. Twilight smiled a bit to hear that as the princess was glad that her old friends forgave her. Lemon Hearts gasped, "Hey! Anypony up for a blast from the past?"
All of the Unicorns smiled in agreement, and even Twilight too.
Twinkle smiled, "It looks like they're okay with you, mummy. Maybe Spike's right. Maybe you shouldn't be so worry about it."
"I guess so," Twilight said happily.
"Hey, who're those stallions along with mare?" Twinkleshine asked in surprise as she pointed her hoof out at the entrance.
The unicorns as well as Twilight Sparkle and Nyx looked up and found Ash, Ashley and Flash Sentry entered the restaurant. The stallions were looking for Twilight, Spike and Twinkle.
Twilight smiled as she answered, "My boyfriend, my daughter and my friend..."
As the trio Unicorns awed in surprise, Twilight waved to her boyfriend and friends in getting their attention. They spotted it and approached the rest of girls as they have some chats.
Twilight smiled to her old friends, "Everyone, this is my boyfriend - Ash. This here is my daughter Ashley . And this one is my friend and my brother's trusted lieutenant - Flash Sentry."
The Stallion Duo and the young Peagasus bowed before Twilight's old friends in respected manner. The girls commented of how handsome they really are and how lucky Twilight Sparkle got them. She is very lucky...
Twilight and all of her friends made all their way to an old school of hers. It was an old yet big old lavender and purple mixed schoolhouse-like. Twilight approached to the school while her family and even Flash followed her.
"Wow... It's the Unicorn Science Lab," Flash commented, "I heard it's great place for the unicorns study and experience their magic and spells."
Ashely sighed, "Well... I didn't get go to school very much since my old mum and I don't have much money. We both were working as healers in helping ponies from old home."
"Didn't Princess Crystal Sparkle at least send you to a cheap or small school for you to learn?"
"Yeah... But that was temporary. And the one who taught me is my own mum..."
"Wow...."
Twilight Sparkle gasped happily as she approached to the window and took a peek on it, "It's our old science lab! I have so many great memories of this place!"
Twinkle approached and flapped her wings in seeing the school, "Wow... This is where you study as Princess Celestia's student?"
"More or less," Twilight answered happily.
Ash smiled as he leaned against the wall, "It's very special to you, isn't it?"
Twilight nodded, "It is... Even though I wasn't really great friend, but I helped others of how the science and magic works."
Minuette giggled in amusement, "Remember when Lemon Hearts got her head stuck in that beaker?"
Twinkleshine and Minuette then laughed happily yet amusement about the joke they make. Lemon Hearts gave the dry and annoyed looks at her friends. Twilight and her family puzzled of what happens. The boys and even Nyx imagined of how Lemon Hearts got her head stuck in the beaker while Twilight recalled of how it happens.
Flashback:
Some years ago when Twilight Sparkle was a young filly, she and her old friends were studying the magic and doing science experiment from her old school. The teacher helped and guided the students of how the progress works. Some asked their teacher of how the progress works. Others chatted with each other. A few studied and doing their homework.
Lemon Hearts got her head stuck inside the beaker as she ran away playfully while Twinkleshine and Minuette chased after her. Twilight Sparkle and another friend were reading their science books.
Twilight put the book down as she explained, "But according to this book, you're supposed to add the sodium chloride first."
"I read ahead, and to make a proper salt lick, you need to add the molasses first." Twilight's yellow doppelganger with crimson mane and twin stripes of dark and light purple.
Twilight shook her head, "Well, I read ahead too, Moon Dancer, and I'm sure it said sodium chloride first."
"Oh. I've got the wrong book. That's so hilarious." Moon Dancer said dryly upon learning the book she read.
Twilight and Moon Dance looked at each other as they both giggled a bit while shrugged. They then continued reading the books while the rest of their friend minding their business. It was busy moment for Twilight and her old friends...
Flashback Ends
Back to reality...
Twinkleshine, Minuette and Lemon Hearts continued giggling at their past while Twilight seemed to be worried. Her family and friends noticed her look. Twilight knew there was one friend she hasn't check on. One who shares same hobbies and idea...
"Whatever happened to Moon Dancer?" Twilight asked as she turned to her friends. Her Unicorn Friends looked at her with their surprised yet confused looks. She explained, "You know, our other friend. The one she and I read the books from the very day?"
"Oh, right! Moon Dancer! I remember her!" Twinkleshine nodded as she recalled of her another friend.
Lemon Hearts hummed, "I wonder what she's up to."
"Yeah, I always liked her. We just sort of lost touch after you left." Minuette smiled.
"So, where is she?" Twilight asked in concern.
Twinkleshine answered, "I think she went to live out by the stadium, didn't she?"
"Well, let's go see." Lemon Hearts suggested.
As her three friends turned and headed off, Twilight and her family followed them at once. They all can't wait to meet Moon Dancer.
Ash and the others were about to follow but stopped as they heard some clanking-breaking bricks. They turned to their backs but found nothing from the school or anything, though they have the feeling that someone was here and spied on them. They decided to drop it for once as they went and followed Twilight and her friends to Moon Dancer's home. They can't help but think their meeting and confrontation may come.
The mysterious armored warrior emerged from the chimney's back. He continued glaring at Ash for unknown reason...
"You will pay for everything you did to me..." The mysterious knight said darkly.
...
...
An hour later, Twilight and her family followed her three old friends in search of Moon Dancer's home. They came across the in-between shops where the old yet broken cottage house-like with moon shaped on the door. They were surprise and shock to see it a mess and ruined. Did something happen to Moon Dancer?
"I think this is the place. Didn't used to look like this, though." Minuette commented.
Twilight Sparkle approached to Moon Dancer's house as she knocked the door for few times. The door creaked as it opened halfway.
"Moon Dancer?" Twilight asked in concern.
"What do you want? I'm trying to study."
Moon Dancer revealed herself as young adult like Twilight Sparkle but unlike her younger self, she had her mane tied up and pinned in bun-shape while wearing glasses and black sweater.
"It's us!" Twilight exclaimed happily. Twinkleshine and Lemon Hearts stood from her left side while Minuette stood on right with Spike on her back. They all smiling at Moon Dancer She smiled, "Your old friends!"
Instead of friendly reply, Moon Dance gave annoying groan as she closed the door hard at once. Twilight and all of her friends were in shock of her response. That was unusual answer from her.
"That went well," Flash remarked in shock.
Ashley nodded, "I was expecting her to shout happily like 'Twilight, you're here!' or 'Oh my gosh, my best friend! You came back'! But not this..."
Minuette smiled nervously as she chuckled a bit, "That's old Moon Dancer, all right. She always did like her books." She gasped, "Hey! Kinda like you used to be, huh?"
Twilight Sparkle in shock as she remarked, "Exactly how I used to be."
Twinkle gulped, "I've got the bad feeling about this..."
Ash was about to comment but stopped as he sensed something familiar to him. He turned and found the same mysterious figure turned and escaped. He had his eyes narrowed suspiciously yet angrily. Flash and Ashley noticed the look as they know what it means...
"Something tells me this isn't about stalking..." Ash muttered in concern.
What is next?
...
...
Twilight and her family have spent three days at Canterlot as they have been observing and watching on Moon Dancer's behavior and schedule if there is a way to reach her since she didn't bother to visit and hang out with any of her old friends. Ash, Ashley and Flash spent their three days in investigating the crimes and criminals' death while trying to seek and learn behind the mysterious warrior.
At Twilight's Old Library, Twilight and her family were preparing to leave their home as their friends had arrived.
"Are you sure that you're not coming with us?" Twilight asked in concern, "I have to know what has happen to her. She'd never been like this before. She's acting like how I used to be."
Ash sighed, "I wish I could. But there is something I need to investigate and know."
"About the Canterlot's crimes dropping to zero? And the mysterious vigilante?"
"Yeah... I sensed something familiar about him. I can't help but to find him..."
Twilight nodded in understanding, "Alright. Please, take care. I heard that the vigilante is not friendly hero. He doesn't seem to be working for Royal Guards of General Rexstrike either."
He nodded, "Alright. Good luck in reaching Moon Dancer."
With Twilight nodded, she and her family exited the library and meeting up with their friends. Ash, Ashley and Flash Sentry walked on left direction. Twilight Sparkle, Spike, Twinkle, Crystalforce and three unicorn friends walked on right direction. Will they get the results of the mission?
...
...
Moon Dancer was walking towards the Canterlot Library while carrying her baskets of books. She entered it without socializing or greeting with any ponies. Twilight and her friends watched the event from a cafe. They all worn sunglasses while reading the menus in acting like they were here to order the foods.
Spike sighed as he put the menu down, "Come on, Twilight! We've been watching her for three days! Library, house, library, house. That's it!"
Twinkle hummed in concern, "Nopony looks at her or says hello or even gives her a smile. It's like she doesn't even exist. Or she even bother to say hi to other ponies..."
"Was she always like this?" Twilight Sparkle asked Minuette.
Minuette explained, "Well, she always was a little shy. But for a while there, she was really starting to come out of her shell. Remember when she threw that party?"
Nyx turned and looked at her mother with curiosity looks. Twilight gave her friends and family a shrug and embarrassment blush. Minuette, Twinkleshine and Lemon Hearts thought carefully of their friend's answer as they gasped in realization.
"Oh, right. I think you might've been busy that day." Minuette giggled a bit.
Twilight and her friends remembered of what has happened. She did declined the invitation to Moon Dancer's party because she feared Nightmare Moon makes her return from her imprisonment moon as she wanted to know how can she stopped the former tyrant...
"Thought she finally might be letting her guard down a little with that party. We invited her out a few times after that." Minuette explained, "But she was always too busy studying. So, eventually, we just stopped asking."
"Study over friendship..." Crystalforce commented in concern, "That's really bad..."
"I had no idea that party was so important to her." Twilight said regretfully. She looked down in shame as she felt responsible of what she did to her very best friend. Rather than being down, she stood up with her firm looks, "I've gotta find a way to make it up to her!"
Twinkle nodded, "I'll help too, mummy. A friend of yours is the friend of mine."
Twilight smiled as she nuzzled her little daughter gently, "Thanks. I don't know what I'd do without you..."
"Hey! What about me?" Spike asked as he was being offended.
Twilight giggled as she gave him a nuzzle, "Oh, don't worry, Spike. I still need your help. Twinkle and I will talk with Moon Dancer while the rest - you can go back home."
"No worries, Twilight. We'll wait," Twinkleshine said happily.
Lemon Hearts smiled, "Yeah. We're all friends. We'll wait for you and Moon Dancer to come out."
"Say hi to Moon Dancer for us," Minuette smiled as she then giggled, "Or maybe, we say hi to her when she comes out."
Twilight smiled in amusement as she and Nyx headed to the Canterlot Library at once in finding and talking with Moon Dancer...
Heading Into Nightime Twilight and friends had caught with Ash and the others at the restaurant. They were all chatting and talking with each other happily.
"So, how's the progress with Moon Dancer?" He asked in concern.
Twilight sighed, "It's in progress now. And I hope everything is fine."
"So, uh, what are you studying these days?" Minuette asked curiously.
"Science, magic, history, economics, pottery. Things like that." Moon Dancer answered bluntly.
"Yowza! You planning on being a professor or something?"
"No."
"So you're just... studying."
Moon Dancer asked in annoyance, "Can I go now?"
"Moon Dancer, please." Twilight pleaded.
Twinkle nodded, "Please, Moon Dancer. Give them some chance to talk. We promised to give you some lessons about Hayscates' methods."
Moon Dancer huffed in annoyance.
"It's all right, Twilight. We're having a good time. Right, everypony?" Minuette said calmly. Both Twinkleshine and Lemon Hearts nodded nervously as they have no idea how to react. She continued nervously, "So, uh... Spike, tell Moon Dancer that story 'bout how Twilight had to read a book about doing a sleepover!"
Spike was about to answer but Moon Dancer interrupted, "Slumber 101? I've read that."
"Oh!" Twilight chuckled uneasily, "Really? Well, uh, did you know Lemon Hearts here works at the Canterlot palace?"
"Uh, yeah. It's true. I do the big events mostly. State dinners, that sort of thing." Lemon Hearts said uneasily.
Everyone nodded and commented in agreement with Lemon Hearts, though Moon Dancer wasn't amused.
"Awkward..." Ashley said in concern.
Seeing her angry and not amused attitude, it reminded Ash of Drax. But nevertheless, Moon Dance groaned in annoyance as she stood up and left the dining table.
Twilight was worried and scared as she stood up from her seat at once. She went after Moon Dancer. Ash. Ashely Flash, Twinkle, and Spike got up from their seats. They all headed and went after Twilight Sparkle.
Both Twinkle and Ashley stopped at once as they noticed something amiss. They turned to the table as they spotted the pony reading the menu. It was a purple mane with green and light lavender stripes. Something about her was familiar to them.
Spike pulled his siblings' tails hard. He reminded them that they have to go after them. Wanted to know about the mysterious familiar girl reading the menu, nevertheless; they both turned and went after their parents.
The mysterious character lowered the menu in revealing a familiar angry character glaring at Twilight and her friends leaving the restaurant.
"Hmm... Poor Twilight Sparkle... She's having some troubles with amending her friends..."
As Moon Dancer walked out from the restaurant, Twilight Sparkle emerged from it.
"Moon Dancer!" Twilight called. Moon Dancer continued walking away. She teleported herself in front of her friend. She pleaded, "You've gotta give friendship a chance!"
Moon Dancer groaned in annoyance as she levitated her former friend over her. She then walked away.
"I gave friendship a chance a long time ago! It didn't work out then – it isn't gonna work out now!"
Twilight Sparkle was heartbroken by what she just heard. She can't believe that the once shy and gentle yet close friend is becoming a more antisocial pony who focused on studies than playing with others.
ash and others galloped towards her. They checked up with her.
"Twilight, are you alright?" He asked in concern.
"No..." Twilight answered painfully, "No, I'm not. I just need some time alone, Shadow Dragon."
As Twilight walked away, Shadow Dragon nudged Twinkle and Spike to go after her. They have to keep her comfortable and happy.
"Aren't you going after her?" Flash asked in concern.
Ash sighed, "Twilight needs some time off. But for now, we need to know more about Crimson Knight. We need to catch him before he could cause some trouble. I don't want to involve Twilight or others in this. He will target on them if he knows about me."
As Ash and the others walked giving her some space unknown to them, Crimson Knight emerged from his camouflage. He turned and glared in Twilight's direction.
"Same old pony... Same old weakness..."
...
...
Twilight Sparkle continued walking in shame and in pain as she came across Canterlot's West Courtyard. She glanced at the landscape as she wondered what can she to make up for Moon Dancer. She was her closest friend. And now she left...
"I really messed this one up. That party was everything to her." Twilight said in shame as she looked at the landscape, "I can only imagine what it must've felt like when I didn't show up."
Twilight's Imagination
Prior to Twilight's Departure to Ponyville, Moon Dancer was setting her party up. She wants to celebrate it with all of her good friends. It's a special day for her 'Get Together Party' with her closest friends. Minuette, Twinkleshine and Lemon Hearts have arrived to the party.
Minuette called, "Hey, Moon Dancer! Look at this spread, huh?"
"Thank you so much for coming!" Moon Dancer thanked happily.
Twinkleshine smiled, "Of course. We wouldn't miss one of our best friends' parties."
"Is Twilight coming?" Moon Dancer asked happily. Her three Unicorn friends gave the nervous and worried looks as they have no idea of how they answered to her. Seeing their looks make her realized and heartbroken, Moon Dancer looked down, "Oh. Okay."
"Hey, we'll still have fun, right?" Minuette asked while chuckled nervously.
"Sure..." Moon Dancer said unhappily.
Moon Dancer walked away at once while looking down and pain. Twinkleshine, Lemon Hearts and Minuette felt sorry for her. Twilight Sparkle was a special friend to her. Because Twilight didn't come, Moon Dancer was heartbroken...
Thinking of what Twilight imagined of how Moon Dancer felt when their mother left the party.
If there was only a way to undo the damage..." Twilight said in upset. She gasped in realization, "I know what I need to do. And I know just who can help me."
"Too bad..." The firm voice said darkly. Twilight yelped in concern as they turned and found Crimson Knight standing before her. He approached them slowly, "Your friend's gonna have to wait. You're invited to my party."
Twilight gasped in worry as she armed her glowing horn in ready to fight. Crimson Knight draw his Scarlet Blade and started to breathe heavily. Who will survive?
The next morning, Moon Dancer approached Canterlot Library. Before she could enter, she looked down in shame and upset like something break her heart. She was ashamed of what she did to Twilight Sparkle. Then again, it was her best friend who abandoned her. So, why should she feel sorry for that Princess of Friendship? She shouldn't be bothered but why she feels guilty and shame?
Nevertheless, Moon Dancer was about to enter the library but the shadow bat form loomed over her. She gasped in shock and worry. She turned to her back. She was in shock and feared like a blast of the past haunted her! Before she could react, someone charged in as he held her by her neck to the door very hard. He glared at her.
Moon Dancer gasped, "You?! What are you-?!"
"I need you to do something for me. Deliver the message to him!" Crimson Knight exclaimed angrily.
"Thanks, but no thanks. I'm not going to be involved in your vengeance!"
"I don't care if you do. You will deliver it to Ash! If you don't, well - I don't want to kill you because you were too important to me. But your best friend will."
Moon Dancer gasped, "What?! You did what?! How could you?! If you hurt her-!"
"What? I thought you want payback on her." Mystic Knight said darkly, "She did leave your party. She did betray you. And the worst, she did to you - hurt your feeling!"
"You're wrong! I may be angry at her for hurting me... But I'd never resolve with violence," Moon Dancer sobbed tearfully, "Truthfully, she's my best friend! She always is to me."
He snarled angrily, "If you want her to be safe, give this message to him! Tell him to come and find me! He and I have some unfinished business."
Moon Dancer gulped in concern. She was worried about her best friend...
At the library, Flash sighed in concern as he put the newspaper, "So far nothing about this guy. He's like a ghost. He only appeared for some crimes and deals with them by giving a killing blow."
"He did appear during the Changelings' Invasion of Canterlot but not the Mystic War Three," Ashely said in surprise as he read the newspaper about Crimson Knight's involvement during Changelings' Invasion. He commented, "Wow... Talk about how ruthless and cold he is."
Ash hummed in concern, "It doesn't give us any clue of who he really is. We're getting to nowhere. I need to know who he really is! There must be something we're missing!"
"Dad? Are you sure there was no one else you train with? I know Drax... But there's gotta be someone else you train with." she asked in concern.
He shook his head in concern. Flash hummed in concern, "Why do I get the feeling a blast from the past is coming to haunt you?"
"What do you mean, Flash? Are you onto something?" Ash asked.
"Not really sure... You do have some rivals or enemies before. I've got the feeling someone got a serious grudge against you."
"The only enemies I have is Deathstroke and Black Falcon. Deathstroke was killed on the war. Black Falcon gave up his vendetta against me since I'm no longer involved in Ultimate Warriors Affair. Some rivals like Mad Dash and Wildmutt were on good terms with me. We just spar for a few times only."
"Yeah... I guess so. But who else wants you dead? And why?"
"I wish I knew..."
"Yeah... I guess so. But who else wants you dead? And why?"
"I wish I knew..."
KNOCK! KNOCK! KNOCK! Ash and his team walked down the stairs at once. They opened the door. They encountered the frightened yet tired Moon Dancer.
"Moon Dancer? What's wrong?" Ash asked in concern.
"Twilights in trouble! She needs us now!" Moon Dancer exclaimed in concern.
Ash and his team gasped in concern at what they just heard. Twilight Sparkle and her family got kidnapped!
At Canterlot Castle's West Courtyard, Twilight Sparkle moaned painfully as she slowly woke up. She found herself and her children trapped and tied to the chair. They were planning to find Pinkie Pie but got attacked and kidnapped by the mysterious Crimson Knight.
"Are you both okay?" Twilight asked in concern.
Spike grunted painfully, "I've been the worst. But what's with that guy's deal?"
Twinkle sighed, "I wish I knew. That guy packs lots of punches! And it's the same as our dad too. How?"
"I don't know. I just hope he's okay and stay away from here," Twilight said in concern. "Whoever that Crimson Knight is, he sure got a grudge against your father."
"Twilight!" The voice called.
Twilight and her children looked up as they spotted Ash and the others galloping towards them. Twilight and her children gasped in surprise yet relief.
Twilight gasped, "Ash!"
He approached Twilight as he untied her, Twinkle and Spike, "Are you alright?"
"Yeah, I'm fine. But you shouldn't have come!" Twilight nodded. She turned and looked at Moon Dancer, "Moon Dancer, you came?"
Moon Dancer nodded, "Yeah... I couldn't bear to see you get hurt because... Because you're my best friend I ever had."
"Moon Dancer..." Twilight said tearfully as she was touched by her old friend's concern. She looked up and noticed something up ahead. She gasped, "Ash! Behind you!"
Ash turned and found Crimson Knight stood and aimed his revolver at him and his team. Ashley armed her Thunder Spear while Flash armed his spear. They're both ready to fight with this strange yet mysterious enemy.
"It ends now..." Crimson Knight said darkly.
Ash narrowed his angry eyes, "Who are you?"
He narrowed his hatred eyes as his blue turned into crimson, "You really don't know, don't you.
"I don't. Now start answering! Who the hell are you?! Why are you doing this?! What have I done to you?!"
He growled in anger as he aimed his Revolver at Ash. Moon Dancer gasped as she quickly moved to the front of him. She's in a blocking position.
"Drax, don't do this! Please!" Moon Dancer exclaimed in fear and pain. Everyone gasped in shock as they wondered if they did hear correctly or not. She said tearfully, "Please, don't do this, Drax."
Everyone was confused and concerned about what they just heard. Does Moon Dancer know about him?! Is Crimson Knight really...
"You really have no idea of how much pain I have to go through..." He said darkly as he pressed his mask's bottom button. He was unmasked. He revealed himself to be the scarred yet pure angered and hatred crimson pony with a black spiky mane. Ash gasped in shock. He continued, "It won't go away until I have his blood!?!"
"Drax?!" Ash said in shock and feared. He couldn't believed it. Everyone was in shock as well. He saw it. How could his former apprentice be alive?! He saw the abandoned warehouse blown to pieces. He said, "It can't be..."
"Sorry to disappoint you, boss..."
"I saw the building exploded. I looked everywhere for you. I couldn't find your body."
"Don't you dare lie to me! I trusted you. I always thought you believed in me that I will be strong and fats as you. But you left me dead!"
Ash shook his head in denial while protesting, "That's not what happened! I really did try to find you!"
Crimson Knight put his Revolver on Ash's head, "Yeah, like I'm gonna believe in you. You know what I'm gonna do next, ?"
"Don't try it."
"Too late!"
Before he could fire his revolver, Ash gave his former apprentice a headbutt. yelped painfully.He quickly spun himself and kicked his face off. Ash turned to others.
"Get them out! I'll deal with him..." Ash ordered firmly. Before anyone could speak, he turned and gave them his firm and angry face, "That's an order! Now go!"
Everyone hated doing this but they have no choice. To them it was personal.
Ash and Crimson Knight glared at each other as they both readied to fight. Crimson Knight put his mask on. The fight is about to start!
"I can help you, Drax! It's not too late!" Ash pleaded.
Crimson Knight hissed in anger, "There's no helping me now! You died!"
He roared in anger as he charged in. Ash struck his punch at his former apprentice but the latter jumped and hovered over the former. Crimson Knight landed on the ground as he turned and kicked at Ash. The hero dodged down before swiped his leg at the vigilante. Crimson Knight jumped up before giving a hard punch on Ash to the ground. The vigilante charged in but kicked off by Ash. Both of them charged in as they both punched and kicked at each other while avoiding and dodging the attacks in fast pace.
"Stand down!"
"Shut the hell up! Don't call me that!"
Crimson Knight gave Ash a headbutt. He grabbed and thrown his former mentor to the ground. He landed his right hoof on the ground before pushing and spinning himself up in getting up. He positioned himself with his hooves raising up and standing with one hoof with electricity energy - Electric Flight Strike Style. Crimson Knight huffed himself as he did the same as his master. He mimicked his master too well.
Ash jumped, followed by Crimson Knight as they both punched and kicked at each other while dodging and avoiding the attacks for few times. They slowly descended to the ground. While they managed to avoid the attacks, they managed to give each other some hard punches and kicks. They landed on the ground hard before they bounced and hovered back for few times. Before landed on the walls, they thrust themselves straight at each other. Ash slammed Crimson Knight to the ground as he gave his former apprentice some punches. Mystic Knight gave his former a headbutt before kicking Ash up.
Crimson Knight summoned his Scarlet Blade while Ash summoned his Shining Light Blade. They both charged in as they swung and clashed their blades at each other hard and quick for few times. But at the same time, they both dodged and avoided the attacks from heads, chests and legs. They then clashed their blades at each other while glaring at each other.
"I'm gonna break you! If it's not enough, your family will be good enough!" Crimson Knight exclaimed in anger.
Ash hissed, "Don't get involved them of this! How did you escape that house?!"
"I crawled! Barely alive! Thanks to that damn clown!"
"Psychopath Joke?! He's the one who kidnapped and tortured you?! Why?!"
"Haven't you figure that out?! He wants to turn you to Dark Mayhem and his minions! They want him to become their sides, so they can destroy the Human Realm! Isn't that obvious?!"
"I guess it is. Hurting my friends, my family and my love. When they're gone, I have nothing but desired revenge..."
"Yeah, it's always about you! It's always about you! I'm sick of it! When I'm through with you, I finally be free from my prison!"
"Revenge won't get you anyway. So, stop this maddness!"
"Shut up!".
Crimson pushed his blade off before swinging his on Ash's but the latter blocked and deflected the former's off. They both then swung their blades at each other while dodging and avoiding for few times. As they both clashed their blades again, Ash gave Crimson Knight a punch but the vigilante gave back the punch on the hero. They both got pushed back. They then charged in as they thrust and swung their blades against each other for few times. They then clashed their blades for the moment.
He then took his Revolver up as he readied to fire. Ash dodged down before swiped his leg on Crimson Knight's down. Mystic Knight grabbed and thrown his former master up, causing Ash fell down. Crimson Knight slammed his Scarlet Blade on Ash. The hero rolled over back before firing his Sun Blast at the vigilante. Crimson Knight deflected it off before firing his Revolver at Ash who deflected it.
With their swords disappeared, both armed themselves in their Dragon Spiritual Style - they both stretched their legs out while held their hooves in battle position like dragons. They both charged in as they punched and kicked at each other for few times while dodging them. Ash thrust his punch at Crimson but deflected as the latter gave thrust punch on the former's chest. Ash gave a knee kick on his head. Crimson Knight kicked Ash off but grabbed and the twisted his leg in turning the vigilante backwards. Crimson then kicked Ash down. He was about to punch Ash but held the punches. They both glared at each other.
"That's enough, Drax! Stop it! Don't go down the path! Please, turn back now!" Ash exclaimed in concern.
"Shut up!"
Crimson Knight shouted angrily. The vigilante took his Revolver as he fired straight at Ash's guts. The hero yelped as he fell to the ground hard. Ash moaned painfully. Mystic Knight held his gun aiming at Shadow Dragon, "It's over now. I will kill you."
"Don't do this..."
"Too late!"
STROKE! Crimson Knight screamed in pain as he felt his right hoof thrust and speared by a spear. He turned and found Flash Sentry stood before him. Twilight and her friends had arrived.
"You're dead!" He exclaimed in anger.
He swung his punch at Flash Sentry who dodged down and swipe his leg on the vigilante's legs. The young soldier held the vigilante to the ground. Crimson growled painfully while screaming angrily.
Twilight Sparkle, Ashley and Moon Dancer came as help him up. Everyone turned and looked at him. Ash looked at Flash Sentry while giving a nod. Flash Sentry disliked it but agreed.
Crimson Knight growled angrily, "Finish me!"
"No..." Ash denied, "I won't do it!"
"Just kill me! Just like what you did to me before! You left me to rotten to death! You left me to died!"
"I'm sorry. I really am. I really did try to save you," Ash said shamefully. He held his hand out, "Please... Let me help you. For old time's sake. We still can fix this, Drax..
Crimson Knight looked down for the moment as he was thinking. He glared at Ash again. He threw the smoke bombs down. Everyone yelped and gasped in shock before they coughed heavily as they got themselves caught in the smoke. As soon as the smoke dispersed, they all found Crimson Knight was nowhere to be found. He's gone!
"I can't forgive you, but I can't blame you for everything. Until I clear my mind, I won't come back to the team. Red Hood is gone, only Crimson Knight stands. If you need me, I'll be in touch."
Ash sighed, "Drax..."
Everyone remained silent as they all could do was looking at him. They all feel sorry for him to lose his friend again.
Twilight approached Moon Dancer, "Moon Dancer, do you know him?"
Moon Dancer sighed, "He was my friend and my boyfriend..."
...
...
At the evening, Twilight and her family have set the party. All of her old friends have come and joined the party. Everyone loved and even Moon Dancer. Moon Dancer was chatting with Twinkleshine and Lemon Hearts. Spike was blindfolded in playing 'Prick the Tail on Pony' while Twilight and Minuette cheered for him. Ashley and Twinkle danced wildly and happily. Ash and Toby were chatting with each other. Moon Dancer finally open her eyes and mind after the terrible experience of what happen to Drax.
"Moon Dancer, can I have a word with you?" Twilight Sparkle approached to Moon Dancer. Her old friend turned to her. She sighed, "I know this party can't make up for the way I hurt you. But please, don't let my mistake be the reason you can't be friends with anypony else. Don't end up of what happen to Ash's friend."
Moon Dancer sighed, "Twilight... When I first make the party, it was meant for everyone including you for being my best friends I ever had. I feel appreciated of it." She said tearfully as her eyes poured some tears out, "But you didn't even bother to show up! Then you left town without saying goodbye even though we were supposed to be friends! I was humiliated! I felt like I wasn't important! I never wanted to let myself be hurt like that again!"
"Moon Dancer..."
"I realize something. If I held that too long and unleash that fury at you, I not only lose myself but I will lose you. Therefore, I'm sorry too for not giving you a chance."
"Moon Dancer?"
"I finally see that now. You really want to make it up for me." Moon Dancer hugged Twilight passionately, "Thank you, Twilight. I never realized how much I needed to hear that."
Twilight smiled as she hugged Moon Dancer back, "Yeah. And thank you for forgiving me."
Both Twilight and Moon Dancer cried tearfully while hugging each other. Both of them were really good friends indeed...
Everyone but Ash and Flash Sentry saw it. They awed happily to see it. They were glad to see both Twilight Sparkle and Moon Dancer are friends again.
Twinkle sighed, "I'm glad everything is back to normal."
"It sure is," Ashley nodded in agreement.
Spike held the broken present, "I wonder if she likes it."
"She will," they both answered happily together.
Ash and Flash Sentry have their own chats about Mystic Knight.
Flash Sentry sighed, "I'm sorry. For your loss of your best friend, sir."
"There was nothing I can do. What happens in the past is done. I have to let it go now until next time I meet Crimson Knight," He said calmly. He turned to Flash, "By the way, thanks for the save, Flash. I owe you one."
"It's no big deal. I'm just glad to help around, sir."
"You know, Flash. You may prove yourself that you can be a hero. What the heck? You may even join the team."
Flash gasped, "Does this mean-?"
"Yes. I will help and train you, soldier. And welcome to Omega Force too," Ash smiled, "That's for helping and saving me and my friends, Sentry. Come to me when you have the time."
Flash saluted, "I won't let you down sir."
"I know you won't, soldier." Ash saluted back.
With the party ended, everyone were clearing the mess up. Twilight and her family approached Moon Dancer. It's time for them to leave.
"I think it's time for us to go, Moon Dancer." Twilight spoke.
Moon Dancer nodded, "Thank you for helping me make some new friends. Even if they are my old friends."
"Oh. We'll come back and visit soon."
"That would be great! You've still gotta teach me that Hayscartes technique!"
"Deal."
Twunkle sighed, "I'm glad you two are friends again. That what makes me happy the most. I almost want to call you Aunt Moon Dancer since you and mum share the same manestyle."
Everyone then laughed happily to hear that. That was a good joke!
"Um, Moon Dancer? It got kinda banged up," Spike held the present up, "but here's a little something I wanted to give you back at your first party."
As Moon Dancer levitated the present up, she took something out of it. She smiled happily as she recognized it very well. It was her first photo of her and her friends eating their first lunch - donuts at Donut Joe's Restuarant.
"I'll treasure it. Thank you." Moon Dancer smiled. Twilight and her family smiled happily to hear that. She turned to Ash, "I'm sorry for everything. If I have stopped him, he wouldn't be like this."
He sighed, "I know. I just hope Jason got his senses back and come back to the team. I also hope he can let go of his grudge too."
"Me too... I really like him too. He reminds me of me..."
On the castle's tower, Crimson Knight was glaring at his old teammates portraits before kept it on his bag. He sighed in annoyance yet unhappily as he looked up and glared at the moon. One day, he will...
