MLP Adventures

Monday - It was a lovely fall day and the leaves were beginning to fall as the schools begun to open for the little fillies, and colts, but a new school, or class in this case, has been opened recently for the older generations in Ponyville. It was known as "AutoCAD" and the teacher of such class is known as Mr. Cade. The class is taking place in a recently built building on the south side of town where the town is more silent, and peaceful, for such a class. The building is stone brick and square size with no roof. There were two windows at the front then four windows on each other wall, with the windows closed. There were a few trees in the front lawn as bushes surround the building with butterflies, and bees, landing on the flowers throughout the bushes, and lawn.

Three friends waited at the front of the building, waiting for their teacher to arrive and finally begin the class. The first friend is Storm, a white pegasus with sharp purplish mane with a matching tail, that looks like a scythe. His cutie mark is two storm clouds with lightning representing his talent with storm, lightning, and the like. His eyes were dark blue like sapphires. The second friend is Wise, who is a green unicorn with dark brownish mane and tail. His cutie mark was a black circle with white headphones inside, representing his talent in the arts of music. His eyes were green as emeralds. The last friend is Jelly, a tan colored earth pony with a tan mane and tail. His cutie mark is a plate of waffles for his talent of making waffles. His eyes were light blue like the skies above.

Jelly looked around the place then finally at Storm and Wise, who were waiting for something to happen. "So... You stallions ready for this class?" Storm finally said, smiling softly at his friends. Wise looked softly over at Storm and finally said, "Well yes. I have plans to make Sir Rechinel, the 2nd the 4th." Both Storm and Jelly looked Wise curiously with confused eyes. "What?" Jelly finally said which Wise quickly replied, "He mastered space and time, and can travel in time with his fancy time machine." Storm put his right hoof to his chin, thinking softly then finally said, "So you are going to make him and animate?" Wise nodded softly then used his unicorn magic to levitate a newspaper article which is explaining this new class and what it is for. "It did say animations." Wise finally said, pointing his hoof where it says so. Both Storm, and Jelly, nodded softly and agreeing with Wise.

Then, a white unicorn stallion, who had dark red hair and a small beard to match as well as red eyes. He was also wearing a black cloak, covering his flank and tail. He came up with a dark blue pegasus who had yellow eyes and his mane were two mixes of different shades of blue, tail matching. It was also red at the end of each of his hooves and his cutie mark was a lightning bolt. Storm gave a quick smile and waved at the two new ponies; greeting them, "Good morning! How are you? And who are you?" The white unicorn blinked softly, giving an annoyed look at Storm, then finally said, "Name's Coxasin, and you are?" Before Storm could reply, the blue pegasus quickly introduced himself, "Thunder Strength is my name, and it is because my strength is like thunder!" Storm blinked softly then went back to what he was about to say, "Well... I'm Storm, and this here is Wise and Jelly." He said this as he point back at the two ponies which he mentioned.

Then, a dark tan stallion finally came with dark brown hair and tail. His cutie mark was the letter A, standing for AutoCAD and he is the teacher. He had both a horn, and wings, for unknown reasons which confused everypony else there. They unlocked the door then allowed the five already there in to take their seat. Inside, the room was fairly dark with only two lights on. There were around 20 computers around the room, with one being at the teacher's desk, and a monitor screen in the middle. Jelly, Wise, and Storm all took a seat on the right side of the room, sticking together. Coxasin sat across from Storm and next to Thunder Strength. Finally, Storm went up to the teacher and asked him, "How are you an Alicorn? I mean... Like umm..." But he was interrupted by the teacher, "I'm not an Alicorn. I'm a unicorn who drew some wings on his body and is now stuck with them. Now back to your seat and chit-chat with your friends for awhile until more show up, then we can get started." With that, Storm went back to the seat he choose, and sat down but stayed quiet as his two friends chatted about stuff that was happening in Ponyville, which is where they lived in but not Storm.

The next two ponies that came in was a green male earth pony, with purple mane and tail, and a female green pegasus who is blonde. They both sat together, close to Coxasin, in the middle of the room and just begun chatting quickly about their plans. Storm quickly waved at them, being an extremely friendly pony, and asked his normal questions, "How are you? And who are you?" The pegasus, who had a pirate skull as a cutie mark, answered first, "I'm good... Hay Matey is my name." Then the earth pony, who had an unknown red symbol as his cutie mark, answered, "I guess I'm good... And call me Pestilence." Storm blinked softly but didn't ask then softly say, "I'm Storm!" He smiled softly then Coxasin looked over at Pestilence with a confused, "What is with your name? Oh, I am going to name my child one of the..." Storm stopped him say quickly, "Hey! Be nice, we are going to be together as a class for a long time!" Then they all stayed quiet and went back to their individual talking.

Later on, more ponies came into class and take a seat. One was a white earth pony with a green mane, and matching tail. His cutie mark is a soccer ball and his name is Eth. He sat alone at one side of the room, which made Storm slightly sad to see. Another one was a female blue unicorn with red stripped mane and tail. Her cutie mark seems to be the Grammar Nazi symbol, probably meaning she is good in English and over protective about such things. Her name was Black Well and she had red eyes, like Coxasin which she sat nearby. Another pony was a shy male brown earth pony, who was wearing a dark green cloak, and had dark brown hair. He kept to himself sitting in the corner and his name was Lopaz. There was also a dark blonde male white earth pony who had a wine bottle as his cutie mark, and his name was Deck. He sat with his friend, Gin, who was a green earth pony with orange hair and has freckles. Gin also was a blank flank, which is extremely rare in adults. The last stallion was highly purple with gold eyes and his mane was black and gold, with tail matching. He also worn a lot of jewels around his legs that matched his tail, and mane, highly. His cutie mark was some sort of purple gang symbol and his name was Saint. The last pony who came was a light green unicorn, her mane and tail was light green with a white stripe. Her eyes were yellow-ish and she had a lyre as a cutie mark; her name was Lyra.

When everypony, who was coming, was finally here; the teacher closed the doors and introduced himself, "My name is Mr. Cade, and this is AutoCAD. In here, I'll teach the skills of computer programming, and the like, which has been increasing in demands within Equestria. Before anypony asks, my wings I drew on my own and I am not an Alicorn... In other words, I still only have the abilities of an unicorn, I don't have any of the pegasus abilities... Also, to show you what I mean by draw..." He pointed at a table as his horn began glowing and soon an object was being drawn like it would've been in AutoCAD, but in the actual real world! It didn't take long for Cade to draw an actual working computer on the desk and everypony was staring at it in amazement, never seeing such magic. Storm smiled softly, finally understanding what the teacher did to gain those wings but doesn't understand that form of magic.

Then, Mr. Cade finally said, "Any questions?" Lyra raised her hoof and quickly asked, "Is it true that humans uses computers in their communities?" Which caused Mr. Cade to look over at her in confused, wondering what she is talking about... "Humans?" he asked curiously but then Coxasin said, "Why do you care? Humans aren't real and will never be real." With Thunder Strength adding in, "And if they were, they'll just eat us all." It didn't take long for Lyra to frown and softly hide herself behind a computer screen and the teacher just glared at her with disappointment. The teacher finally said, "Well... Today we are just introducing one another and getting everything set up on the computers. Alright little fillies?" Everypony blinked softly but ignored that little bit, and throughout the rest of the day; each pony introduced themselves to the class then set everything up on the computer they are happily working on. At the end of the day, everypony left to go on their own for the rest of the day...

Storm - After saying goodbye to everypony, Storm flew off into the clouds to go hang out with two of his pegasi friends, which he knew where they all hanged out at. It didn't take long for Storm to finally reach Cloudsdale, the biggest city in the sky and his home. He flew up to this one cloud where a pure blue pony, who has a lightning bolt as his cutie mark, and a green pony with tyedye mane and tail, as well as having a computer mouse as his cutie mark, were hanging at. "Hey Jo Bo and Porky. How is everything going on up here?" Storm said to his pegasi friends as he landed on the cloud. "Oh nothing, listening to Jo Bo's adventures in this RPG game that is he playing a lot lately." Porky answered then quickly added, after Storm nodded softly, "Indeed." Jo Bo nodded a bit as well, "Well then... Back to my story... So I was doing this one mission where I have to kill these cave rats, you see. So, I went in and started swinging my spear at them but I was bucking missing... And these cave rats were jumping at me, attacking me, making a 'blulrlr' noise." He explained as he moved his front hooves in a wave motion to show how the rats were attacking, and both Storm and Porky were laughing at his story. Jo Bo continued talking about his adventures in this game then Storm finally decided to interrupt him, saying, "Well... I got to get going. My marefriend is expecting us to go out to Canterlot this weekend to celebrate the Royal Wedding, which we aren't allowed to go to but hey, why not celebrate it?" His friends nodded softly to him and waved goodbye then Storm flew off quickly, and head back to Ponyville.

When Storm reached Ponyville, he quickly came up to the house and knocked gently on the front door then waited for a few moments. Shortly, the door opened and there was a light blue earth pony with her mane being cyan blue with a magenta stripe. Her eyes were a crystal blue and her tail matched her mane. She also had a math equation as her cutie mark which represents her talent in math and that she is a math teacher with her name being Magical Numbers, or Mrs. Numbers as a teacher. She smiled softly at Storm and invited him inside without saying words then happily hugged him once the door was shut. "So the plans still a go this weekend?" She asked Storm softly, breaking the hug finally. Storm smiled softly and nodded happily, "Yes and I am making sure it'll be a lovely celebration." He said as they both giggled softly. It didn't took long until they were in a deep kiss, holding one another in each other's hooves, and Storm's wings were around her... They slept peacefully that night with one another.

Jelly and Wise - When the class was over, both Jelly, and Wise, went back into Ponyville. They both stopped for a moment after noticing a poster on the wall of a building, which mentioned a party on Wednesday of this week. "You know, this sounds like fun." Jelly decided to say, reading it then Wise replies, "Yes... It does." After reading some stuff about the party, they have decided to check it out Wednesday, since it was free. "Want to invite Storm as well?" Jelly asked Wise quickly, thinking about it. "I really don't care." Wise replied to Jelly, using his magic to open up a can of pop that he recently got and taking a drink. "Where did you got that?" Jelly asked curiously, not remembering a spot where Wise would've gotten a can. "Oh, you know. Over there." Wise explained, pointing a hoof to the food district of town where foods are sold at.

They both moved on, walking around, and then Wise stopped, sighing softly. Jelly blinked and quickly looked over at his friend asking him, "What is wrong?" Wise blinked softly and pointed a hoof at a lavender unicorn pony that is known as Twilight Sparkle. "And?" Jelly questioned him again, being curious now... "Oh... You know... I like her but can never do much when I'm around her." Wise explained as Jelly nodded softly, "Ah. I see. Have you ever thought about trying to ask her out?" He questioned his friend again, wondering why now. "No. Just no..." Wise said, shaking his head 'no'.

Before they could continue, they finally notice Coxasin from earlier walking around in Ponyville. They watched softly as a blonde grey pegasus mare accidentally bumped into him, while talking to her little unicorn filly. "Oh... I'm sorry..." She said, looking at Coxasin with her eyes, which were different because she has a lazy eye, or Derpy eye some will call it. Coxasin turned around and gave her a mean glare, "Why don't you..." He was about to say but stopped then just fell down onto his back laughing. "Oh my Celestia! Your eyes! What happened, momma dropped you on your head?" He said as he continued to laugh. Jelly was getting mad upon seeing and wanted to do something but Wise stopped him before things could get ugly... The grey mare backed away softly from Coxasin, putting a wing over her filly to keep her safe. Coxasin finally got up after a second and looked at the frightened pegasus, "Why don't you just dump your little filly somewhere else? You know, before you drop her!" As this was going on, a brown stallion earth-pony saw this and walked in between the grey mare and Coxasin. "Why don't you just leave her alone and go about your business Sir?" He said, standing tall and keeping his eyes on Coxasin. "Oh.. Like I'm scared of a farmer.. And why you ever dressed up? I mean, look at your tie! You're a farmer, not a business pony!" He said, pointing at the protective stallion who gave him an angry look. "I am not a farmer! I'm the Doctor... Why don't you take your stupidity ignorance and leave before somepony gets hurt!" He said, still  standing in front of the grey mare. Coxasin pointed and laugh softly, falling onto his back again... "I would love to see that!" The stallion grinded his teeth and looked at the grey mare, "Ditzy, let's just go..." He said to her and the three quickly left the scene, not wanting to deal with this anymore.

Coxasin continued to laugh as he gets up, saying, "Yeah! Run away like some big chickens!" Jelly couldn't take anymore and decided to came up to Coxasin and say, "Why don't you just shut up already before I decide to shove a horse-shoe so far up your anus that you'll be puking lucky charms!" Coxasin blinked and gave Jelly a mean look then just walk away, not wanting to get into trouble with the teacher the next day for beating up a fellow class mate. Wise blinked and walked up to Jelly, saying, "Nice one." Jelly smiled softly, standing proudly for his achievement. "Thanks." They both nodded to one another then walked off to the place which they wanted to go to... Wise's home.

Together, they decided to hang out at Wise's place for a while, mainly playing video games, until it was time for Jelly to finally head home. So, he left and was the on the way then he bumped into Ditzy half way there. "Hey!" She said happily, smiling softly at Jelly. "I just wanted to say thanks... I heard what you did." She continued, smiling softly at Jelly. Jelly smiled softly and decided to say, "It was nothing really. Nopony should be bullied like." Ditzy smiled again then looked at him with her Derpy eyes, "Well... It been a long time since somepony actually stand up for me..." She said, blinking softly and watching him. "Really? Who was the last pony that did so?" Jelly asked, getting curious now. "Oh... It was a special somepony... Um... I got to get going..." She said then flew off quickly, leaving Jelly back to what he was doing. Jelly shrugged softly, knowing something bad probably happened to her in the past, and then went back home to get some sleep for the night.

Thunder Strength - Thunder flew straight to his home in Cloudsdale, planning to train and get ready for the big event on Thursday. He went inside of the house and into his training room is at, which isn't far from the entrance since he is rarely at home. Within his training room lies a punching bag, trendmill, and weights. He went to the bag first then softly used his wings to get himself off the floor, then started punching the bag with his two front hooves. Every punch gets harder and harder until he finally, and accidentally, punched straight through the bag, busting it. "Looks like I need to buy another one..." He said softly to himself then pulled his hoof out of the broken bag. He then went up to the trendmill and got on it. He turned it on and begun running with the trendmill's speed, as the trendmill's speed continue to raise. He kept running on the trendmill for quite a while until he finally reached the maxed speed he could run then slipped, falling down onto his stomach and being pushed back off the machine. After that, he quickly got up and turned the machine off then headed toward the weights for the final part of his training. He went over and added around 20 pounds of weights to start off with then sat down onto the seat but with his back to the bar. Instead of using his hooves, he manage to wrap his wings around the bar then softly begun working out with his wings. After about 5 minutes, he added more weights then continued, and this process kept going until he was finally using his wings to left 150 pounds, which was just too much and he finally stopped... Taking a break from his training now, getting up and walking over to the water cooler he has, and taking a quick drink.

He softly walked over to poster he had on the wall, which talks about a big race this Thursday; the race he is training for... It was a race to see who is the fastest pegasus in Cloudsdale, and the Wonderbolts will be there to host and judge! He is hoping to impress the Wonderbolts, being a fan of all the awesome tricks and dangerous moves they do. He smiled softly to himself, then grinned a bit before finally decided to head to bed for the night, planning to get up early for some more training before back to Mr. Cade's class.

Pestilence - After the class, Pestilence went straight to Ponyville, enjoying the nice fresh air. As he entered the town, he notices Coxasin picking on a grey mare, but ignored then going down another street to avoid the conflict, not wanting to get mix up in that lovely bullcrap when he has better things to do. He trotted down the road, looking at all the scenery and such then, out of nowhere, grey earth pony just came out of nowhere and hugged him randomly, then quickly lets him go and running over to group of other ponies while yelling out, "I told you I'll do it!" Pestilence roll his eyes then looked over at the group and decided to say, "Got anything better to do then hug random ponies?" The grey one, which hugged him, decided to start yelling out, "What? Don't want sexy hugs from this stallion?" Pestilence sighs upon hearing this, and can easily tell this one is playing dumb to make the others laugh, and decided to just ignored them and walk away. "Where you going? I'm going to buck you mother!" The grey one continue to say as Pestilence walked, ignoring them still.

Pestilence decided to just go home and relax on the couch, thinking softly on what to do. "Could always go and eat out, I guess." He thought softly. "Or just stay here and fall asleep." He sighs a bit, relaxing now then finally decided something to do. "I know!" He quickly gets up and put in a music CD by 'The Aviators'. "Ah.. Yes, some awesome music by a great band!" With that, he lay down on the couch once again and went straight to sleep.

Lyra - Lyra went back to her home in Ponyville and was greeted by Bon-Bon, her roommate, upon entering. "So... Tell me Lyra, how was it?" She asked her friend, smiling softly. Bon-Bon is a light tan earth pony with her mane being a mix of blue and light purple, with tail to match. Lyra sigh softly at her friend and decided to say, "Bad. They made fun of me a lot." She went over to the couch and sat down on it, like a human, as Bon-Bon sat down with her, like a pony. "Oh. I can see that happening... Well... I got some good news that might cheer you up!" She said excitedly, which caused Lyra to look at her friend curiously. Without needing words, Bon-Bon finally said, "Colgate, me, and you are invited to the Royal Wedding this weekend to be the bribesmaids!" Lyra blinked and looked at Bon-Bon in disbelieve... "Wait! HOW?" She said happily, jumping off the couch from being excited. Bon-Bon shrugged softly, "I don't know. Colgate gave me the news earlier today. We are leaving for the wedding on Friday." She explained, smiling softly at how happy Lyra is being. "Oh my Celestia! I just don't know what to say..." Lyra said, jumping up and down happily as Bon-Bon laughed softly at her friend's reaction. Lyra decided to go upstairs and get her lyre out, and started playing a very happy song today since today is a happy day for her...

Tuesday - It was Tuesday morning once again, and the CAD class is back in session with everypony being there... "MATEY!" Mr. Cade yelled out, glaring down at Hay Matey with an angry face. "What? I'm telling you this computer isn't working!" She said, pointing her hoof at the computer which seems to be working fine. "No! It is working completely fine, you just being an idiot!" The teacher said as he continued to glare down at Matey. Matey stands up in front of the teacher and gave him an upsetting look, "Don't call me an idiot!" She said then the teacher's horn begun glowing as he uses his magic to bring a meter stick over and starts hitting Matey with it, which caused her to run around the room, trying to get away, and screaming, "Stop that! I get enough bullying from my boss at work!" The class mostly laughed as this goes on and the teacher said, "Probably because he has a reason to do so! You don't listen and just sit there, talk talk talk!" From there, it really calmed down a bit and Matey went back to her seat and continued working.

Thunder decided to ask Mr. Cade, "So... You going to that big race in Cloudsdale on Thursday?" Mr. Cade blinked softly, and replied, "No. I can't because I'm not a pegasus nor a 'real Alicorn'... These wings don't work, now back to work. I got a house to make." Thunder blinked softly but just went back to work... Jelly decided whisper to Storm, "Hey Storm, want to come to a party this Wednesday in Ponyville?" He asked Storm, which he smiled softly and nodded at Jelly but kept his mouth shut, not wanting to anger the teacher.

A bit later, Mr. Cade walked around the class to check up on what everypony is doing... Learning who is doing good, and who is doing bad. A pony he noted that isn't doing as well as the others was Saint, and some he noted doing really well were Wise and Coxasin. Then he saw Gin's computer... "Gin! Are you on the internet listening to music?" The teacher said, glaring down at Gin. He turned around, looking at his teacher while saying, "Yes." Mr. Cade growled a bit through his teeth, "Turn it off blank flank!" He said then went back to his desk, and Gin turned off the music, going back to work.

When class was over that day, everypony left and Storm decided to stay with Jelly and Wise this day. "So what you stallions planning to do this afternoon?" He asked curiously, smiling softly then Wise decided to say something, "Oh we got plans. Some awesome plans..." Jelly nodded softly as Wise says this, and Storm blinked softly. "Oh. This I got to see." He said softly and followed them back to Ponyville, to see what this will be.

They went into town then into Jelly's home, with Storm asking, "Why Jelly's place?" Jelly looked at Storm softly and said, "I told Wise a little secret of mine and he wants to see it for himself." Then went down into the basement of his home, with Storm and Wise shortly behind. When they got to the basement level, Storm and Wise stared with wide eyes at a giant jar of purple jelly... "Wow..." Was Wise's reaction then Jelly just simply climbed up onto the jar, then jumped right in... "Seriously? Are you addicted to jelly or something?" Storm said, being extremely confused upon seeing this. Jelly sticked his head and answers, "Yes." Then climbed out after a bit and got cleaned rather quickly. Wise gave Jelly 20 bits, losing a bet they have made, and Storm just facehoofed upon seeing all of this today.

Then they all left and quickly went to the market, Wise wanting to spend his 20 bits on something apparently. When they got there, they notice Coxasin and Thunder Strength being there but soon they quickly left... 'What are they doing?' Storm thought to himself, not really liking this very much then looked over at Jelly and Wise, "You guys want to follow them?" Wise blinked softly and replied quickly, "Not really." Then Jelly nodded softly. "Yes. I don't trust Coxasin." He said, glaring where Coxasin went off. Storm nodded softly at Jelly then explained his plan, "Okay. Jelly, you go follow Coxasin. I'll follow Thunder in the skies... Wise, stay here to see if they come back." All nodded with Wise saying, "Yes! And I'll buy something to snack on... With Jelly's bits!" Jelly rolls his eyes then took off after Coxasin, and Storm quickly take to the skies and followed Thunder's trail.

Storm quickly caught up to Thunder, who seems to flying quite low. Storm decided to hide in a cloud, and watch as he float above, then he saw Coxasin down below, with Jelly being behind him though quite a distance. Then Thunder hid himself behind a building, still flying in the air, as Storm finally notice Ditzy flying nearby, doing her normal mail runs. 'The mailmare?', Storm asked himself... Being extremely curious now. As Ditzy near the houses where they hid, Thunder jumped on top of her and took her down to where Coxasin is at. Storm blinked softly and quickly came out of the cloud and flew down to where Jelly is and get him to hurried to where he saw them.

Coxasin was using his unicorn magic on some ropes to tie Ditzy to a barrel so she can't escape while saying to her, "Remember me? You better, or I'll make it worse for you!" He glared softly at her. "Oh... And I guess you want to know why... Well, this is Thunder's plan. He wants you NOT to deliver those letters to the pegasi. You know, the ones to inform them of some sort of race-event, I don't know really..." He grinned softly as Thunder Strength smiled softly at her and said, "I do need a new punching bag as well." He was hitting his hooves together as he said this, still slightly flying above the ground...

"Stop Right There Criminal Scum!" Storm yelled out as he came into sight, and Jelly facehooves... "Why?" he asked quickly, and Storm blinked softly at his friend. "Best time to say it..." Storm explained then Coxasin and Thunder walked up a bit to glare at Storm and Jelly. "Argh! You two! Why don't you two just stay out of other ponies business!" Coxasin said, his horn glowing as he glared at Storm, a spare rope came out and tied Storm's wings to his side... "Oh really now?" Storm said and stomped his right front hoof and got into defensive position as Jelly did the same. Coxasin nodded at Thunder who then charges at Storm. Jelly was about to tackle Thunder, but Coxasin manage to use his magic to actually pick him up and quickly locked him into a barrel. As Thunder gets close to Storm, he jumped out of the Thunder's way, slashing his 'scythe-like' tail and making a cut on Thunder's cheek, which he stopped his charge and quickly check with his hoof. Coxasin then aimed his horn at Storm, planning another magical attack but he was then hit by a green blast which stunned him softly.

Coxasin rubbed his head softly then looked over seeing Wise, who finally came. "Let's do this!" Wise said, his horn glowing. Coxasin glared then his horn begun glowing then he quickly shot out his own magical blast at Wise, who manage to block it with a shield spell of his. "All you got?" Wise said as his magic opened the barrel, to release Jelly, and then throw the barrel's led at Coxasin, who ducked quickly to not get hit but then was tackled by Jelly, who managed to pin him down long enough to headbutt him, actually knocking Coxasin out.

Thunder jumped at Storm, who quickly jumped backwards onto a wall then onto Thunder's back, as he is falling down from his jump, then jumped again onto a second floor window. "You may have the strength, but at least I have the agility, and speed." Storm proclaimed, grinning at Thunder who quickly flew up at him, "I still got wings!" He said and slams Storm through the window, into somepony's home! The noise of broken glass scared the pony in the house, who ran out to call the guards.

Thunder had Storm pinned down, grinning at him. "I think strength overpowers your speed and agility." He said, laughting softly then was unable to control himself and he was magically taken out of the house. Wise smirking outside, saying, "And magic overpowers your strength." Thunder growled a bit then when Wise let him go, he decided to retreat and fly away, not wanting to get into trouble with the guards who will be coming out. Storm quickly climbed out of the house and hurried with Jelly to help untie Ditzy, as well as himself, then the four ran off before the guards get there, leaving Coxasin behind.

After getting, way Ditzy smiled softly at Jelly, Wise, and Storm. "Thank you very much for rescuing me... That was scary..." She said as the three stallions nodded together then Storm blinked softly, and asked her, "Yeah. You should take the day off and get back home to your husband." Ditzy frowned softly upon hearing that and looked at Storm, "He is gone..." She said with her head down. Storm blinked softly, being a bit surprised then Jelly asked, "What happened to him?" Ditzy just shrugged softly, looking down some more. "I don't know... We tried finding him, and I tried convincing the Doctor to go see what happened but he refuses without some sort of team..." She sigh softly, looking down at the ground as she say this. Storm smiled, getting an idea. "What if we are the Doctor's team?" He asked her softly. Ditzy looked up at Storm, smiling softly. "You sure?" Both Jelly and Storm nodded, while Wise just shrugged. "I rather just go home..." Wise said then Jelly gave him a look and Wise just nodded, like he was agreeing with them. Ditzy jumped happily then looked at the three, "I can take you to the Doctor right now!" She said happily and quickly trot away, with the three following her... She was very hyper to get this kind of help and wanted it to happened today!

They all went to nice big house within Ponyville and Ditzy knocked on the door as a brown stallion, which Jelly and Wise saw the other day defending Ditzy from Coxasin, came out and smiled softly. "Ah! Good afternoon Ditzy; who are your friends?" He asked softly. "They kinda just rescued me some two ponies who wanted to hurt me, and they offered to be your team... Remember, you told me you needed a team?" Ditzy explained as the Doctor blinked softly, looking at them all, then nodded softly. "Yes, indeed. C'mon in!" He said as he went inside his home, and the other ponies followed him into the kitchen where they all took a seat. "So... What is this thing?" Storm asked curiously, looking at the Doctor. "Ah... Yes! Before we get into that, though, let me introduce myself. I am the Doctor, or some ponies calls me Doctor Hooves." He explained then looked at Storm who quickly replied, "Ah. I'm Storm, and my friends are Jelly and Wise." He said as he pointed to each of his friends as he said their names. The Doctor nodded softly then finally back to answering the question, "Well... What Ditzy wanted me to do is my time machine I've been working on to go back into time and figured out where happened to Bran Muffins." Ditzy was nodding happily, being hyper now, and Wise blinked softly.. "Kinda sounds like my one guy I am making in CAD..." He said, smiling a bit. Jelly facehooves upon hearing this then said, "Okay then... Anyways, mind explaining to us who is Bran Muffins?" Ditzy quickly bumped in, answering Jelly's question, "He was basicly my husband, and Dinky's father. When we first moved into Ponyville, he was needed back at our original home but he never showed up there... He just vanished." She sighed a bit, remembering it...

Storm decided to say something again, "Okay. We'll do what we can to help get Bran Muffins back!" Ditzy clapped her hooves happily upon hear this then begun heading out the door, "I got to get back home to watch Dinky though..." She said as she left. The Doctor looked over at the remaining three, and said, "Alright. Follow me! I keep the machine in the basement!" Then he got up and head into the basement, with the others right behind. When they got down there, the room was full of all sort of machines and other fancy science stuff that cannot be possibly explained... In the middle was a tall blue box which can probably hold a few ponies. "Okay, this machine can hold four ponies but one of us will have to stay here since we need room for Bran Muffins." The Doctor explained which caused a confused look upon Jelly's face. "Wait... If we pick up Bran Muffins from the past, could that screw up time?" He asked curiously then the Doctor nodded softly, "Probably, yes. But that depends on what actual happened to him... Was he killed, kidnapped, or what? Once we figure out where happened, then we can make up a plan of saving him and bringing him back while also making sure the present isn't too... Altered." They all nodded softly, agreeing. "Now, who will stay behind? I do need a unicorn to get back, so Wise you will come for sure. I'll have to come to control the machine... So, Storm or Jelly." The Doctor explained, looking at them softly then Storm said, "I'll stay behind... You probably have more use of Jelly's strength than my speed, and such." The Doctor nodded a bit in agreement but changed his mind quickly. "Actually, I think I'll need your wings for sky support." He explained as Jelly sighs... "Okay, I'll stay behind and defend Ditzy just in case he comes back." Jelly said, then begun heading out. The other nodded in agreement then gotten into the machine... As Jelly was heading for the door, he could hear strange noise then saw a flash of light coming from the basement... Then he headed outside into Ponyville.

It took about all night, but Jelly finally managed to find Ditzy's home, with the help from some other ponies. He knocked on the door, and Ditzy answered, smiling softly. "Is he.. Back?" She asked curiously which Jelly replied quickly, "No. But the others are getting him. I'm here to be with you, and make sure Coxasin doesn't come back for revenge." He explained, smiling softly. Ditzy nodded then allowed Jelly inside. "Dinky is asleep already so be quiet." She said as Jelly nodded and stay so. They softly talked in the pantry for a while, having nothing else to do, then they heard scream which caused Jelly, and Ditzy, to rush into the room it was coming... It was Dinky's bedroom. When they came in, they saw Coxasin holding Dinky upside down with her mouth zipped up, a spell. Jelly growled and begun charging at Coxasin but instead, he ran into a shield that Coxasin kept around him. "HA! You think a great assassin, like myself, will allow such fools to get away so easily!" He said, grinning evily at them. Ditzy had already begun tearing up upon seeing this, saying in fear, "Please don't hurt my little muffin!" Coxasin laughed, using his magic to take Dinky over to window. "Maybe your 'muffin' would love to have a nice big fall, and end up like her mother!" He said, still smiling greatly. "NO!" Both Jelly, and Ditzy yelled out, then tried to stop him but the shield he made wouldn't let them... He threw Dinky out the window then...

The Past - The Doctor, Storm, and Wise all got out of the machine after appearing outside of Ponyville, long ago. "So... What are we suppose to be looking for?" Storm asked softly, being a little curious. "A tan unicorn with a brown mane + tail, and a muffin as his cutie mark... Remember, he cannot speak with his mouth... Just his hooves. I'll do the talking then." Storm nodded softly, and Wise just shrugged... Wise was mainly there to be there, and not caring too much. They stand there at the exit of Ponyville, then finally saw Bran Muffins making his way. Before Storm could do anything though, the Doctor stopped him. "We must follow him before doing anything. We will have to do somethings in the past before we can safely take him back into our time... Remember, we do not want to alter the present too much." The Doctor explained, as Storm nodded softly, then the three watched Bran walk down the road, and soon followed him.

Storm decided to take to the skies, and hide within the clouds, to watch from above as the Doctor and Wise stay safely behind Bran, without him noticing. When they were far away from Ponyville that the town isn't even in Storm's view, four pegasi were at the roading and they all stand in Bran's way, who stopped and blinked softly at them. Two, of the four, were twins blue ponies, with red eyes. Another was green with green, and yellow, mane plus tail. The last was a blonde grey pony, with no tail and robotic wings... All four were wearing lab coats, and had glasses on. There was also some rainbow colored splashes on their coats, which is strange then finally... Storm remembered! "Well well... A lonely unicorn! What you say stallions? Take this one back to the factory, or do you think he isn't good enough?" One of them said, smiling softly as they all walked around him, Bran shivering in fear right now. "Why yes! I believe he would make a nice little rainbow for..." BAM! The one that was talking, which was one of the twins, suddenly got shocked by a lightning bolt. The other three looked up, seeing a storm cloud though nopony on it. Storm was hiding within the cloud, knowing that he cannot be spotted. The other twin was just about to fly up, and investigate, but then was blasted by a spell... One of Wise's spells. Now two were unconscious, which was quite easy. The other two quickly flew away, knowing this wont end...

Storm flew down, when the other two were gone, and hid the unconscious ponies in some bushes for now. Bran Muffins just watched, wondering what is going on... Then the Doctor came up to him, and begun doing some 'talking' with his hooves. Both Wise, and Storm, couldn't understand what is going on but just watched the two 'talk' like this for a while, and eventually, Bran Muffins nodded... Probably agreeing finally. The Doctor then looked at Storm, and Wise, "He agreed to come with us though he doesn't believe me about 'time travel'." Both Storm and Wise nodded, then Storm said, "We should get back before those stallions get up, or more come back!" They all agreed on that, and ran off back to the machine. When they finally reached the machine, the four of them got into it and another flash happened...

The Present - As they came out of the time machine, Bran Muffins looked around the place and the Doctor begun talking to him to help him understand the differences, and such. Wise walked up to Storm curiously, asking him, "Um.. Was it just me or did one of those ponies we saw back there looked a lot like Glaze..." Storm sigh softly, looking at Wise... "I'll explain later..." He said then both Bran Muffins, and the Doctor, was done 'talking' and seem to be running out, probably to go see Ditzy. Both Wise, and Storm, hurried behind them as they all ran toward Ditzy's house.

When they got there, the four saw something they wasn't expecting... Dinky falling out the window! "Dinky! NO!" The Doctor yelled out and begun running, hoping to catch Dinky, but Bran Muffins had already quickly teleported over, catching her... Then rubbed his head, this being the first time of using such magic, but soon got over with that then hugged Dinky happily... Dinky, already knowing her father, hugged back happily... Crying. Wise, the Doctor, and Storm manage to catch up then looked up at the window, knowing something is going on up there... Bran Muffins put Dinky down, then looked up at the window as well with an angry face... Once again, he teleported but this time on purpose.

Coxasin smiled at Ditzy, who was crying and Jelly was trying to calm her but at the same time, being in a defensive position, growling at Coxasin, who was just laughing at the pain he just created... Then Bran appeared behind him, and he turned around to see who it was but he didn't saw much before a flashing light hit his face; Bran Muffins had casted a highly aggressive spell right in front of him, instead of from the distance like Wise has been doing. Coxasin was knocked out cold, though not dead, and Ditzy glomped Bran happily, kissing him in happiness. Then the rest of the ponies came in, with Dinky. Storm saw Coxasin, and chuckled softly...

The Doctor went back home after that, and Jelly did so too, with his house being in the opposite direction. Wise and Storm walked the other way, toward Wise's place. They all decided to leave Ditzy, Bran, and Dinky alone and let them all catch up. The guards was called quickly to pick up Coxasin, and take care of him for a while. On their way back, Wise looked at Storm curiously. "Okay. Explained me the who Glaze thing I asked earlier." Wise said, glaring at Storm who sighed softly. "We promised to keep this to our grave but now you do too as well... Okay?" Storm said, as Wise nodded softly. Storm smiled then went to explaing, "Well... The Rainbow Factory was real back then... Glaze, me, H8 Seed, and Aurora Dawn all worked at... Against our will, mostly." He said, frowning upon remembering. "Wait... How are you HERE? And... What happened?" Wise asked curiously, now wondering what happened. Storm blinked a bit and continued, "Princess Celestia found out one day, and basicly destroyed the factory, and sending almost everypony to the moon as punishment. Only me, Glaze, H8 Seed, and Aurora Dawn stayed... And us four agreed to take this secret to our grave, but also using media to tell the truth, in a way. Our stuff is fictional, and highly unreal, in a lot of ways... The real Rainbow Factory was far far worse." Wise blinked again then asked, "Wait. You did nothing media related!" Storm looked at Wise with an annoyed look then continued explaining, "Each one of us was tasked with something. Glaze made the main song about the factory while H8 Seed was tasked with making a song to explain that not everypony working there liked it. Aurora Dawn wrote the story, and I was tasked to finish her story in a more happy ending, but I never got the chance to write that story... Oh, and believe me, it took a long time to get Rainbow Dash to agree to be part of the story... Same thing goes with Scootaloo, though Scootaloo had no idea what it was since we never told her about it." Storm sighed softly, then blinked as they reach Wise's place. They said nothing else that night, and Storm silently went to Magical Numbers place in Ponyville after saying goodbye to Wise...

Storm was walking down a dark hall... He was wearing a lab coat, and had a few blood stains on his cheek and his coat was quite messy with rainbows. He sighed softly as he walked down deeper into the hall then stopped in a room with cages... Within the cages were all sort of different ponies, none of them cannot speak because of their mouths were shut tight. Then, Storm went back up the hall but this time, dragging another pony against the floor... One that was weak from hunger and couldn't barely move. Storm strapped this pony up to a machine and removed the mouth piece... Then he nodded softly to H8 Seed, who was at the controls, and then... It didn't took long before the room was full with screams, and blood... Storm opened his eyes, waking up from his nightmare... Magical Numbers woke up as well, looking at him... "Are you alright?" She asked him curiously... He simple just nodded and went back to sleep...

Wednesday - CAD was back in session, and everypony was here except for Coxasin. "Does anypony know where Coxasin is at today?" Mr. Cade asked the class curiously, wondering what happened to him. Thunder Strength raised a hoof and said, "He wont be here for a while... He kinda got busted." Thunder didn't wish to say what really happened but just sticked with that. Mr. Cade nodded softly, "Not surprised... Well, get to work fillies!" He said then went back to his computer.

Wise looked over at Storm and whispered softly to him, "Ready for that party tonight? I heard a new DJ known as DJ Johnny Clark will be there." Storm blinked softly at his, and nodded to answer his question but staying quiet. Then they heard Mr. Cade once again, "MATEY! What do you want?" He said, glaring at Matey who was at his desk. "My computer is messing up again..." She said, pointing at her computer. "No, it isn't. You just don't know how to use it properly!" The teacher said then went over to her computer, doing a quick thing and getting something to work for her. "Told you." He said then went back to his desk... Then, after remembering something, "Oh... This weekend, we are going up to Canterlot for a CAD contest with another CAD teacher, even though the city will be busy with the whole Royal Wedding crap... We are all leaving together on Friday." He explained, looking at the whole class then both Lyra and Storm blinked surprisely, having a 'Oh crap' face on...

Storm looked over at Wise, "Well... I'm skipping that day for sure." He said softly then Wise blinked a bit at Storm... "Why?" He asked then Storm quickly replied, "I have plans this weekend to be with my marefriend." Wise nodded softly, understanding then blinked. Lyra raised her hoof, asking, "What if we are busy this weekend?" She asked the teacher, who glared over at her. "Too bad, and don't you dare skip! I will hunt you down and punish you!" The teacher said, glaring down at Lyra who is frightened, hiding behind the computer screen.

The teacher went back to his seat once again, and Storm yawned softly... Laying his head down, softly closing his eyes... Thinking it would be okay for a little nap when the teacher isn't looking. Pestilence poked Matey softly, "So... I heard you are skilled like a pirate... Right?" He asked her curiously as she nodded happily. "Oh yes! I practice with pirate swords everyday after school!" She said, smirking softly. "Oh. You'll have to show me later then, I would love to see this for myself." Pestilence said then Deck bumped in, saying, "Oh... You just want to have her all night long." Pestilence got annoyed but ignored Deck, who just shrugged and went back to work. "Do you really?" Matey asked him, after a while, who quickly replied, "No! No way!" They both blinked and went back to work from there, noticing the teacher poking his head up...

Storm was back in the factory now, looking at the pony he just strapped to the machine. The machine then was turned on, and the pony was slowly moved down to station #1 where 'stamper' came down and pressed against the pony's stomach, causing it to scream from the extreme heat, and when the 'stamper' was removed, a burnt mark was left... Then the pony moved down to station #2, then a robotic arm went down, cutting a hole where the burnt skin is at; which was easy to do cause of the skin being burnt, and the pony continued screaming for death. After that, another robotic arm came down and pushed a needle into the hole, and slowly begun sucking out the 'color' from the pony... The pony begun changing from being colorful to being grey, and dull, as his screams continued to fill the air. The process was a good 30 minutes before the pony was slowly moved to final stage, where he'll be dropped into a hole on a giant machine's side... But before he made it, Storm woke up hearing Mr. Cade... "Are you sleeping!!" The teacher yelled out, staring down at Storm.. "Oh... Yes, sorry... It was a mistake." Storm said, sighing softly. "You are staying after class." The teacher said, glaring down at him as the other ponies watched curiously.

When the class was over that day, everypony left but Storm who stayed, with his head down in shame and sadness. The teacher came up to him, and looked at him. "So... Explained, why were you sleeping?" He asked, watching Storm who quickly replied, "Nightmares... I've been having nightmares again about something... I'm very very sorry." The teacher blinked softly, "You need to get them straightened out because I will not be having you falling asleep this weekend, especially since you do so well on some of the programs already in your first week... I already lost Coxasin." The teacher said, still glaring down at Storm, being angry. Storm nodded softly, "Okay... I'm sorry once again... I'll try my best to get rid of them." Storm said then the teacher nodded and dismissed him, letting him go this once. Storm quickly left the building now to catch up with his friends.

Storm caught up with Jelly and Wise quickly. "So when is this party?" He asked curiously then both Jelly and Wise said, "Now." Storm blinked softly, "All afternoon?" He asked once again, and both of his friends nodded then they headed toward where the party is at. When they got there, and went inside, they saw all tons of ponies just dancing to some music by Princewhateverer, with the new DJ playing the DJ... Not really singing. Jelly notices Lopaz and Eth from CAD class, and decided to go over and chat with them a bit then Wise notices Twilight Sparkle being here, so he decided to walk up to her but came back to Storm. "Scared?" Storm asked Wise, who just nodded.

Jelly walked up to Eth and Lopaz, saying, "Hello! How's the party?" Eth just shrugged softly, "It's alright though I would like them to play some music by The Living Tombstone." Lopaz nodded softly with what Eth just said, while also saying, "Yeah." Jelly nodded in agreement with them, but said, "But Princewhateverer is pretty good with his metal songs." Both Eth, and Lopaz, nodded softly in agreement from that. Then Black Well came in and said hello to them all, which they all greeted her back. "So... How's the party?" She asked, which she got the same answers that Jelly got. The four of them just continued talking from there, and maybe a little dancing and drinking from the bar.

Storm watched the party softly, thinking for a bit, then he decided to go outside to get some fresh air... As he came out... BAM, something hit him in the back of the head and he was out... Wise heard something and quickly ran out, but found nothing. He put his hoof to his chin, thinking on what just happened then ran quickly went inside to Jelly, saying, "Um... Storm vanished after I heard a noise." Jelly blinked, and stopped what he was doing, "Really? Oh... I think you can take care of it." It seemed like he had a little too much, and Wise rolled his eyes softly then went back outside to try to see if he can find Storm, looking around for him...

Storm was back in his nightmare once again, watching as the innocent slowly slid into the machine then blood begun splattering everywhere... Covering the walls, and such, with blood as the barely living pony screams in pain. Storm then looked up at a window that is high up in the room, where a dark coat pegasus; with red eyes, mane, and tail; watched below, grinning as he watched... He could see the whole entire factory from there and saw all the machines, doing their 'magic' that he calls it... Then Storm awoke from his nightmare, rubbing his head, then looking up seeing the same pegasus... "You!" He said softly, being scared. "Yes... I am back!" He said, grinning down at Storm. "You were fun to watch the past few days... I knew that party would best you and get you come out... Alone." He continued as Storm tried to get up, but he was chained down. "No use you patheic pony...You are mine once again." He dark pony said, putting a hoof on Storm's head to pin him down. Storm growled again, "You wont win... Shadow!" He said, looking up at Shadow who was just laughing. "Oh... But I already won." He said, grinning down.

Wise randomly paced around the area, thinking on what happened then Twilight Sparkle came out, seeing him stressed out, and asked, "What is wrong?" Wise looked over at her, not expecting her to talk to him but eventually says, "Um... My one friend is missing!" Twilight blinked then looked at the ground, her horn is glowing and soon hoofprints were shown... "There. Just follow those... I would like to help you but I think it wont be nothing too major so I'll go back inside. Bye and good luck." After saying that, Twilight quickly went back inside then Wise sighs softly and followed the path... He followed it outside of Ponyville, and into the Everfree Forest, a place he normally avoids... But he continued to follow the hoofprints to a broken down building, then smiled.

Wise sneaked inside the building, keeping his head down, and looked around everywhere. It was dark, wet, and the walls were stone... But eventually, Wise found his way through the place and found where Storm is. He quickly ran up to Storm, using his magic to free Storm, who looked up at Wise and said, "It's a trap!" Then the room went completely dark as laughter was heard. "Not who I wanted but one less pony to worry about now." A voice said. Wise's horn glowed, using a light spell to light up the area. "Who are you? Where are you?" Wise said angerly. "I am known as Shadow... The Dark One. The one who corrupted your friend." The voice said as Wise blinked, and turned around to see Storm, who was staring at him with his eyes a dark red colored and he was grinning. "No!" Wise yelled out, backing away from Storm as the voice laughed once again. "Why don't you join us, Wise? The shadows are a lovely place to be within!" The voice said but Wise growled, his horn glowing and *Poof*, he was gone... "He teleported! Storm, don't let him warned others!" The voice said in a worried voice as Storm nodded softly then ran off...

Wise manage to teleport out of the Everfree Forest then he sprinted straight into Ponyville to find Jelly. When he got back to the party, he found Jelly asleep at front... Probably got kicked out. Wise quickly went up to him, and just slapped him to wake him. Jelly blinked and looked up at Wise angerly. "What was that for!" He yelled at Wise... "We got a problem here!" Wise said to Jelly. "What problem?" Jelly asked curiously but then they Storm landed nearby who smiled at the two, "Hey stallions!" He said in a happy voice. Jelly waved softly saying, "Hey Storm!" Wise, on the other hoof, jumped up in a defensive stance. "No! You are not Storm!" He said, which caused both Storm and Jelly to look at him curiously while both saying, "What do you mean?" Wise pointed a hoof at Storm, "I just saw you! Corrupted by some evil Shadow dude!" He said then both Storm and Jelly laughed at Wise. Wise growled then shot a magical blast at Storm, shooting him off his hooves and onto his back... He then quickly got up, his eyes are now that corrupted red... And mad.

Pestilence and Matey - "That is pretty awesome Matey!" Pestilence said, as he watches Matey used her sword to slash up a bunch of random bags, and other useless items. "I know, awesome pirate talents!" She said happily, then they heard knocking on the door. "I wonder who that would be?" Matey said as she goes over and opened the door, Thunder being there. "We kinda have a problem..." He said. Pestilence looked over at Thunder curiously, "What kind of problem?" He asked curiously then Thunder says, "Coxasin is back... Looking completely differently and extremely pissed off..." Both Matey and Pestilence blinked softly then Matey said, "Let's go get Mr. Cade's help!" Thunder blinked at her when she said that... "How? We don't know where he lives!" He explained, watching her curiously but she laughed a bit. "I followed him home the other day... I know where he lives!" She said as she rushed out then both Thunder and Pestilence followed her curiously, "Why?" Thunder asked her, but never got a reply.

After a quick walk to Mr. Cade's place, Matey quickly knocked on the door and within minutes, Mr. Cade opened the door and glared down at Matey, seeing her... "MATEY! How do you know where I live? And why are you even here?" He said, ignoring Thunder and Pestilence. "I followed you home the other day, and we have an issue." Matey answered his questions, which he quickly replied... "Wait. You followed me home?" He looked down at her angerly, but before they can continue, Thunder was picked up and thrown off to the side as Coxasin, with dark red eyes and being darker colors, ran past them. Thunder got up then chased after him, in anger. "I see now..." Mr. Cade said then Pestilence went after Thunder, to try and stop him. Mr. Cade rolled his eyes and then followed them with Matey, to see what he can do to stop this annoying crap.

Storm charged at Wise, who was just about to attack then Jelly tackled down Storm, pinning him down. "Seriously Storm! We are your friends, what are you doing?" Jelly said as he hold Storm down, who looked straight back up with an evil looking glare. "Who needs friends when Shadow is back!" Storm said before abling to buck Jelly off of him then Storm quickly jumped up and into the skies. Wise used his magic to grab Storm, and slam him down to the ground then quickly used his magic to get some big rocks nearby then drop them onto Storm, to hold him down. "You will not defeat us! You can only join us or die by us..." Storm said angerly, as he tried to escape. Jelly looked over at Wise and asked him, "Any ideas of curing him?" Wise shrugged softly, "I don't know but I think it'll be best to keep him like this for now until we can figure something out." Wise replied as Jelly nodded softly, agreeing.

Lucky for them, the party is too loud for anypony to even hear the fighting outside but that wont last too long... Coxasin then finally ran into view and looked straight at Wise, who stared back. "Jelly, I got this." Wise said as he gets out into the street, looking directly at Coxasin as his horn glows and then shot a dark shadow blast. Wise created his shield quickly, but the spell's blast broke it easily and Wise was hit, coughing from it. Jelly ran up to Wise, in his aid. As Coxasin was about to cast another spell, Thunder ran right into and pinned him down, but that didn't last long as Coxasin used his magic to simply push Thunder off of him and quickly getting back up. Then Coxasin was just about to cast another spell, but the spell just failed and hit a glass wall that was created within seconds... Then it slowly became into a unbreakable glass box which holds Coxasin there, keeping everypony else safe. Mr. Cade smiled softly, as his horn stopped glowing, "Glass Box, always work." He said, smiling softly.

Then a shadow came into view as everypony watched it curiously, wondering what it is, but it didn't took long for that shadow to form into Shadow, who looked at Mr. Cade first. "Trapped one of my minions... Eh." Then he looked over at Storm, who was still under rocks, then back at Mr. Cade once again. "Who are you?" Mr. Cade asked curiously. "I am Shadow. Master of the Nightly Shadows. Creator of Nightmares. I am the one who little fillies, and colts, cries about every night when they got scared... And I have finally awoken through Storm's nightmares, interesting they are and quite powerful they were..." Shadow explained, grinning. Wise looked at him, listening softly. "What do you mean by powerful they were?" He asked curiously, trying to learn who, and what, this thing is. Shadow smiled softly, "His nightmares were full of terror, fear, and death. When I became a part of his nightmare, I grew in power and power I gain more every night... Now, I have enough and am back. Now, Equestria will be covered in shadows and nightmares." He said, laughting an evil laugh.

"Not today, not ever." Jelly said, growling at Shadow who just chuckled softly, then Thunder charge at him but he went straight through Shadow. "You think you can win when you can't even touch me?" He said, smiling devilishly. Everypony blinked softly then Wise tried to hit him with one of his spells, but it also went straight through. Shadow chuckled once again, "I'll just stand and watch. This is quite fun to see your stupidity." He said, watching them all.

Magical Numbers came out, leaving the party finally, blinked as everypony looked at her curiously, then she looked at Storm and rushed over to him. "You might want to stay away from him..." Jelly said, as they watch her curiously. Shadow was just smiling, hoping her stupidity will release him, needing a minion to have some fun. What really happened is that, Storm smiled softly upon seeing her and when they touch one another, a dark blast happened, pushing her away and the rocks went flying into the sky. Everypony, except Shadow and Coxasin, got ready for Storm to rush out and attack; but when it clears, Storm was back to normal, smiling softly at her, then he looked over at Shadow, "Shadow, you have failed once again. You should know better that the memories of happiness and love will overcome nightmares and darkness!" He said, looking over at Shadow who growled at Storm. "Now, let's finish this, Shadow!" Storm said, getting into a defensive stance.

Shadow glared at Storm as smoke appeared around him, and Storm. "In my world!" He claimed then he vanished within the smoke, and Storm was unconscious. Magical Numbers ran up to Storm, looking at him, "No... Please be okay!" She said softly, crying a little. Wise walked up to them then softly say, "He is probably in the nightmare realm, at least that what I think this Shadow guy's world." Wise had a hoof on his chin, thinking, and Jelly nodded softly, agreeing. "I hope Storm can get rid of him..." Mr. Cade said, watching softly and waiting...

Storm rubbed his head, then look around the factory once again... This time, he can control himself and isn't just a memory... Then he saw Shadow, standing down the hall and no words were exchanged as he quickly charge at Storm who jumped over him but Shadow formed into smoke and flew upward, wrapping around Storm and slamming him against the wall. Storm slid down the wall, his back hurting now, then Shadow appeared, pinning Storm against the wall. "You really think you can win, let alone do anything here!" He said, grinning at Storm as a black mark formed where his hooves are on Storm's body. "I guess it is time to say goodbye, you pathetic worm." Shadow said as Storm's boy begun changing into a dark color but then an eletric blast happened, shooting Shadow across the room and Storm stand up proudly, back to normal. "You forgot, this is my nightmare and I can change it into a dream easily!" He said, and with that, the factory just vanished and being replaced with all sort of clouds.

Shadow stared at Storm in disbelief... "No!" He said, being scared now. "Oh yes!" Storm proclaimed, stomping his front right hoof onto the cloud, and Shadow's hooves were stuck and unable to move. "I think it is time for you to be trap, forever." Storm said, smiling as Shadow's legs begun turning to stone. Storm was 'dreaming' of a statue of Shadow and slowly, Shadow became that such statue. "NO!" He yelled out as his head finally turned to stone, with the rest of his body; trapping him forever in this dream...

Storm woke up then, looking up at Magical Numbers, and the others. She happily hugged him as the others smiled softly, noticing that Coxasin is back to normal as well. Mr. Cade walked up to Storm asking, "He is dead?" Storm hugged Numbers back as he looked at his teacher, saying, "Not really but he is forever stuck as stone in the dreamworld." With that, they all nodded and cheer in victory... After such victory, they all went happily back home to rest for the night... Coxasin was sent back to prison, for his crimes he did the other day...

Thursday - Everypony was back in CAD class once again, except for Coxasin... Mr. Cade looked over at Storm and said. "Well... To celebrate this little victory, I guess. You can have a free day... But Gin and Saint, no internet stuff!" The teacher said, glaring at the ponies he mentioned.

The rest of the CAD day was nice and relaxing, everypony mainly did they wanted to do for that day, relaxing from the whole bullcrap they witnessed and went through the other night. When the day was over, everypony left and Storm smiled softly then taking to the skies and going straight to Cloudsdale, knowing what he is planning to do on this day, and Thunder Strength was right behind him!

Jelly and Wise - Both Jelly and Wise went straight to Ponyville, planning to have a fun day playing video games together but on their way, they bumped into a grey pony with a brown mane, and tail. He also had a 20 side dice as his cutie mark. "Greetings!" He said, smiling at them. "Hello?" Jelly said curiously. "Name's Dice. You?" He said, smiling softly at Jelly. "Jelly and Wise... Why are you randomly talking to us?" Jelly asked, looking at this new pony strange. Dice looked at them for a moment then softly say, "I'm looking for friends! Mind if I hang out with you?" Jelly and Wise shrugged but agreed to this. The three hanged out together for the rest of the day at Wise's place, playing games.

Storm and Thunder Strength - Storm and Thunder both went straight to where the race is at. Both of them went into the waiting room with all the pegasi ponies that are taking part of the race. There was all sorts of different pegasi, one being Rainbow Dash which scared Thunder lightly. Storm poked Thunder softly and said to him, "Don't worry. She may win but do your best, and you might just catch the Wonderbolts attention." Thunder nodded softly, listening to Storm. Then a white pony, with a yellow mane, tail, and same cutie mark as Thunder, came up to Storm and Thunder. "Hey! We have same mark!" He said toward Thunder. Thunder blinked softly, looking at him and nodded softly. "Yeah..." Then they heard the announcements, and it looks like it was time to go out and get ready...

When they all got in line, Storm being by Lightning Bolt while Thunder is down by Rainbow Dash, the announcements came back up, introducing the Wonderbolts as they came flying in, doing a bunch of tricks and creating fireworks with their suits in the sky then softly landing on a good spot where they can watch the whole race... Then, the announcement finally said what they all were waiting for... "One your mark! Set! GO!" And went, all the pegasi...

The majority of the pegasi was easily lost behind Storm but Lightning Bolt was right on his tail and Thunder is around the same speed... But Rainbow Dash was FAR a head of them, like it was hopeless to even think about beating her. Storm didn't care and kept on flying, dodging all the clouds which were placed as annoyances in the way... Except for some. At one point, they have some storm clouds to make it more dangerous but this made it more easier for Storm, since that is his talent. Both Lightning Bolt, and Thunder, quickly passed him and gotten into these clouds, easily dodging them but not doing what Storm has plans. He went straight into a storm cloud, feeling the lightning shocking his body but instead of harming him... It boosted him! And BOOM, a little electric boom went off and Storm went flying out of the cloud. Passing Lightning Bolt and Thunder quickly, and picking up to Rainbow Dash, who was slowing down thinking she already won... But she was wrong when Storm flew right past her, then she picked up speed again, catching up with Storm.

The Wonderbolts were watching in amazement, never seen a storm cloud being used like that... And liking the idea very much, but they see the speed within Rainbow Dash quite easily. She had already passed Storm once again, who didn't seemed to care though and just kept going. Eventually, they made it to the finish line with Rainbow Dash being in first place. Storm passed the finish line shortly afterwards, getting in second place.

Thunder and Lightning Bolt didn't believe what they saw with Storm but quickly went back to the race, and Thunder used his strength to fly faster, passing Lightning Bolt who did not like that and bumped into Thunder, trying to crash him but Thunder bumped Lightning Bolt back, pushing him into the wall, then flying away. Lightning Bolt quickly recovers and went back, going straight at Thunder but sadly never making it... Thunder winning third place when he reached the finish line, and Lightning Bolt was in fourth place.

After all that, Storm simply just left and went back to Ponyville. He didn't want to collect a reward, or anything. He just wanted to have fun, and now, he wants to rest after such a long week, not knowing it is about to get even worse... Thunder stayed around for a bit, collecting his second place prize which Storm basicly gave up, and Lightning Bolt got the third place prize. After some chatting, Thunder flew to his home in Cloudsdale and finally slept peacefully, no longer needing to train a lot... For now.

Friday - On Friday morning, when CAD class was in session. Mr. Cade looked around, expecting only Coxasin to be missing, but two others were... "Does anypony knows where Lyra or Storm is at?" He asked the class, but no one answered. He sigh softly then finally declared, "I'll have to see them next Monday..." Then he looked up at the class and continued, "Alright. Some of you ponies I ain't taking with me, and I don't have long because we got to catch the train... So Gin, Saint, Deck, Eth, and Lopaz. Sorry, but I think it would be best if you five stay behind and do whatever you want. The rest of you ponies, come with me. We are going on a field trip." With that said, Mr. Cade and the other ponies all went off to the train station, getting on all together on the same car within the middle. Who ended up coming was Matey, Wise, Jelly, Thunder, Pestilence, and Black Well.

Storm - Storm woke up, with Numbers already being up and ready. "Oh... Ready already?" He said, chuckling softly as she nodded happily. "Yes because our train is leaving quite early and I think it is best if you hurry up." She said as Storm got out of bed, nodding softly. "Yeah..." All he said then quickly got ready, not needing to do much though. After finally being ready, they quickly went off to the train and got on together in the front car.

Lyra - Lyra, Colgate, and Bon-Bon all got ready very quickly, not wasting any time, then went straight to the train and getting on the back car very early. "I am so excited!" Lyra proclaimed, jumping happily. "Yeah... Yeah..." Bon-Bon said, sighing softly. Lyra looked at her roommate curiously, asking, "What's wrong?" Then Colgate, a light blue unicorn with white and blue mane+tail, spoke up, "It is because Bon-Bon isn't invited to the wedding... She is only coming to help you out." Lyra frowned softly, and looked at her friend. "Oh... I see." She said, and from there out they didn't talk...

Mr. Cade - After the train ride, and ignoring all the students, they finally got to Canterlot which was surrounded by a magical barrier, and heavily guarded, which is strange. When the train finally stop, the first car got off which is when Mr. Cade saw Storm getting off with Numbers... "Yes, I will see you for sure next Monday Storm..." Mr. Cade said, glaring at Storm. Then the second car was unloaded, which was the Elements of Harmony. Mr. Cade rolled his eyes upon seeing the pink one sneezing confetti then it was their car's turn to get off. They all got off and Mr. Cade lead them all to the building where the competition is taking place in. He had every single of his student get into their place, and ready, then the day was smooth sailing from then on, watch the ponies do what they do best and making sure no one cheats...

Bon-Bon - Lyra stay hidden, after seeing her teacher getting off the car in front of theirs... Then when it was time to get off, she sneaked through the place and ran quickly, with Colgate, to the castle to get ready for the wedding, and such. Bon-Bon, on the other hoof, went straight to the tavern for a drink, not being allowed to follow her friends. There, she mainly spent the day drinking non-alcoholic drinks.

From there, the day was extremely nice for everypony and nothing extremely bad, or good, happened. When nightfall, Bon-Bon went to rent a room for the night and slept through the night, though not very well due to missing her friends whom never came back. Mr. Cade, and all of his students, went to their own rooms, one for each, and they all slept to get ready for the competition to continue the next, which it is good to sleep for. Storm and Numbers had their own special place in town, due to a cousin of Numbers's, and they both had a wonderful night that night, with no nightmares at all from Storm.

Saturday - When morning came, everypony in the CAD class woke up around the same due to Mr. Cade making sure the alarm system is set for same for all... When they all got ready, they left the place and begun heading to the competition, but then Jelly noticed something pass the barrier around Canterlot. "Um... What are those?" He asked, pointing at them. Everypony else looked up, all seeing some sort of weird black ponies all flying. Each one had blue eyes, like a fly with their wings as well, and they all had their own horns and had holes within their legs... Lastly, they were all ramming into the barrier, like they were trying to break. Wise sigh and said, "This week just wont end, will it?" And it didn't took long afterwards that the barrier cracked and fell into pieces... Then the strange new ponies rushed in, using some sort of green magic to come down like meteors.

Matey walked up to Mr. Cade asking, "Can you make me a pirate's sword with your magic thing?" The teacher rolled his eyes but quickly making the sword for her, knowing where this will be going. Then Jelly came up and requested a very strange weapon, which ended up being a blue cannon. "Yes!" Jelly said happily... Then the strange beings begun getting close to them, coming from the skies currently. Wise has already begun shooting his spells at them, knocking them out from the skies, and shortly afterwards, Jelly joined... Shooting jars of jelly at them, for Celestia knows why... Though the jars seemed to have an effect, taking more than one out at a time because the jelly exploding into nearby ones.

But there were too many for them and these ponies finally hit the ground, landing near the group. Wise pointed downward, and begun knocking them out one by one with his magic, as Jelly did so too but they all stopped once they notice something. These ponies were glowing green then suddenly changing forms... Changing into clones of Thunder, Matey, and the like though not one changed into a clone of Mr. Cade, probably because the teacher is too awesome. "Oh buck! Changelings!" Black Well proclaimed, backing away a little. "What?" Jelly asked quickly, knowing they'll attack any moment now. "They can take the form of anypony... So... Watch out!" She said then the changelings, which took form of Thunder, charged all together at the group. Wise stand up proudly, charging his horn then release a powerful blast, sending a group of 6 of them flying then the real Thunder charged and used his head to uppercut one changeling then quickly jumped, using his wings to keep himself above ground, and bucking two others hard in the face.

One changeling, which took the form of Matey, also had a sword just like Matey's. The real Matey took out her sword, saying, "Unguard ye' fake Matey!" The changeling rolled its eyes then took out the sword it had then the two begun slashing at each other with swords. When another changeling was about to join the fight, Black Well decided to quickly use her magic to pick it up then throw the changeling at a group of them. Pestilence were back-to-back with Thunder, fighting together with their bare hooves. "Ready?" Pestilence said as Thunder nodded then they pushed back together, and Thunder used his wings to keep the two above ground, and when a changeling got close, Pestilence kicked it hard with his lower hooves, also pushing himself and Thunder around in a 360 spin, which kept continuing as they kept kicking the changelings that surrounded them. Mr. Cade were sending changelings flying randomly, creating all sort of mechanisms, like catapaults and the like while using his magic to pick up the changelings, and loading them onto. Wise was also near Mr. Cade, using his normal attack spell but when he finally got surrounded, he decided to do something he never done before. Slowly, his body begun glowing with magical energy then, suddenly, it was released, blasting ALL the changelings around him away... Then he smiled, and went back to using his basic attacks.

Jelly backed away into a corner, his cannon being out of ammo and there were way too many of them... It is like they never stop, they just keep coming even after everypony sent hundreds of them away... This was, for surely, a planned invasion. Jelly got into a defensive position, getting ready to fight to his death, then thunder sounded through the sky and a giant electric bolt came down, shocking the ones that were about to get him. He looked up into the sky, seeing Storm on a thunder cloud. "Need some help?" He said as Jelly nodded softly, "Yes!" After saying that, Jelly watch Storm as he flew down with the cloud, squeezing it again and forcing more lightning upon the changelings, shocking them and sending them flying from the blast. Then Jelly ran, and jumped onto Storm's back who then launched Jelly over the cloud and right on top of a group of them, from there... Jelly and Storm worked together.

Matey was still sword fighting with the same changeling still, but they all stopped and looked over at the castle as a explosion happened then strange magical wave went through the whole entire city, sending all the changelings flying and back to where they became. The magic didn't effect anything else at all, just the enemies that were invading... "How much you want to bet that an Alicorn did that?" Storm said, then Mr. Cade looked over at him with an angry face. "Oh... I bet you are angry at me for skipping the field trip... Sorry... But at least I am here and actually helped you ponies with the threat." Storm said but the teacher just glared at him, highly annoyed. "You know what... I'm not in class so... I'll just see you on Monday and then get into trouble. Bye!" Storm saidly and quickly flew off... Jelly facehooves upon seeing that but no pony bothered. Mr. Cade, as upset as he was, just got everypony back together and went back to what they were originally doing...

From there, the day was grand! Wise came in third place in the competition, and being the only student from Mr. Cade's class to get into the top five. This made Mr. Cade extremely proud that he is still teaching well. Lyra and Colgate ended up back in Ponyville, not really remembering much mainly due to the effects of Chrysalis's mind control. Bon-Bon was there to help them out, feeling sorry that they were being used. Storm spent a good day with Magical Numbers, and when she went asleep... Storm went up to his laptop, that he actually bought shortly after the changeling invasion, and started typing up a story of his... One that he names "Rainbow Factory Ending", which is the ending he promised to write up...

The End... OR Is it...?

A pony in Canterlot was fast asleep, having such a lovely dream then she begun dreaming about the skies... The clouds as those changelings rained upon the city, destroying the whole place... But one thing in the sky didn't make sense. It was a statue of somepony she didn't knew, and it was slowly cracking for unknown reasons... Then screams were heard later that night within that house.
