Fall of the Trossels
Home All Along
Previous ChapterTwilight and the others teleported in as Infernalo sat there, trying to figure out what could've went wrong.
"What's up with your brother," Spike asked.
"He's upset because his hypotenuse didn't work," Frostburn said.
"That's hypothesis, Frostburn," Infernalo corrected her. "How did you guys find us?"
"We found out that the you that was still in town was a fake, so we just followed him here," Twilight explained. "Besides, I called in someone who might be able to help you." Everyone bowed as a tall white winged unicorn arrived. She had a long glittering rainbow colored mane and tail that seemed to blow even though there was no wind. She smiled down at the four Trossels bowing before her.
"Princess Celestia," they murmured.
"Ah, so you're the Trossels that Twilight told me so much about," she said. "You must be Infernalo, and these must be your sisters Frostburn and Stonebolt."
"Actually, Princess," Stonebolt corrected her. "I'm Stonebolt, and she's Frostburn."
"Your majesty," Infernalo said. "You can rebuild Seldreinia?" She nodded as her horn began to glow. The glacier melted within minutes and washed over the burned remains of the town as the entire town and its inhabitants began to regenerate. In a matter of moments, it was as if Seldreinia was never destroyed.
"Everything's back to normal," Leafwind said. "If I may ask, if no else is in power wouldn't you be a queen?" The Princess vanished before Leafwind got her answer. Aquashine walked up to Infernalo.
"So, this is Aquashine," Twilight said. "Infernalo told me so much about you. My name's Twilight Sparkle."
"Infernalo, I missed you," she said, leaning closer to him but Infernalo leaned away. "What's wrong?"
"Aqua, I've had a lot of thinking to do. Maybe we're not right for each other in a romantic sense." He trotted over to Twilight. "We can still be friends, but I found someone else that I connect with better."
"It's me, isn't it," Rainbow Dash blurted out.
"No, of course not," Rarity said. "He's talking about me."
"Enough of this," Frostburn said in her very rarely used authoritative tone.
"Thank you, Frostburn," Infernalo said. "If anything, I mean Fluttershy. She's the cute one anyway. No, I think this should clarify things." He leaned in closer to Twilight and kissed her.
"Infernalo," Twilight said, blushing. "I-I didn't..."
"Twilight, I love you," Infernalo said. "I hope that I didn't mislead any of you." Steelmind walked up to Frostburn.
"Frostburn," Steelmind said happily. "I missed you." Spike looked a bit crushed.
"So, this is your boyfriend," he said. Frostburn nodded.
"Y'know Spike," Rarity said. "There's somepony who still likes you." Spike looked back at her in wide-eyed amazement at her statement. Leafwind looked disappointed, as Scootaloo went to comfort her.
"What's wrong, Leafwind," she asked.
"There's no one here for me," she said solemnly. A shadowy figure in the distance stepped out from behind a tree.
"Don't be so sure about that, kid," Zephyroak said. Leafwind lit up.
"Everypony, this is my cousin Zephyroak. Zeph, these are my new friends Apple Bloom, Sweetie Belle, Scootaloo, Applejack, Fluttershy, Rarity, Rainbow Dash, Fluttershy, and Twilight Sparkle."
"Well," Apple Bloom said heavy-heartedly. "I guess this is the last time we'll see you guys again. It was nice knowing you, Leafwind." As the others realized this, Twilight looked into Infernalo's blue eyes and kissed him.
"I'm glad to see that you're home again," Twilight said. "I wish that we had more time to spend with each other." As the other ponies waved goodbye to their new friends and Twilight teleported them away.
When Twilight and the others teleported back, Pinkie trotted over to them.
"Hi guys," Pinkie said, but her expression quickly changed when she read their emotions. "What's wrong?"
"The most handsome pony in Equestria said he loved me, and now I'll never see him again." A large dark hole opened up as a legion of Trossels poured out of it. Before the hole could close, Frostburn, Stonebolt, and Infernalo jumped out as the void finally closed.
"Never say never, Twilight," Infernalo said. She ran over and hugged him.
"I thought you were going home," Rainbow Dash said.
"I never left," Infernalo replied. "Frostburn, you were always right. Home isn't about where you are, it's where your friends are."
"You know what this means," Pinkie said. "A party!" Frostburn, in honor of the occasion, attempted her trick again.
"Frostburn," Infernalo said. "You remember what happened last time?" She ignored him and flew into the air, creating a large mass of ice. Frostburn finally landed, melting the ice into a sculpture of all of them.
"What do you think, big brother," she asked. Infernalo put a hoof on her shoulder.
"It looks great, Frosty," he said. "It looks better than great."
