MLP Adventures

Storm, Wise, and Jelly all sat around in their seats as the train go through the desert. "Quick question, why are we in the desert?" Jelly asked curiously mainly because they shouldn't need to take this route. Wise sigh softly and said, "Because we apparently had to stop at a town in the desert first then we are off to Manehatten." Storm nodded softly as Wise was speaking and Jelly just sighed annoyingly softly. "So what to do to make time fly by?" Jelly asked curiously as Storm gets an idea! "We don't we... I don't know really. Nothing much to do on this train..." He said then looks around the place, to see if he can find something to do.

Then the three of them heard a loud noise on top of the train, like if something metal suddenly dropped on top of the train. "What is that?" Jelly asked, as they look around then a drill noise was heard a small drill is spotted at one spot, coming out of the ceiling. Storm blinked quickly and growled, know what it is. "You ponies stay here on the train and continue the mission... Even if it means to be without me!" He said quickly as he ran out before getting a response. He jumped on top of the train, and spotted a robotic pony. It was made out of purely steel with no skin at all and some sort of robotic mane. It looked up at Storm, the yellow eyes quickly turning red as it spotted its target.

It charge directly at Storm, with its drilling horn on and pointed outward. Storm quickly jumped right off the train and onto the desert sand which caused the robotic pony to jumped off right behind him. "Now that this tin can is away from my friends, we can properly end this." He thought then smiled over at the robotic pony. "Hey V8! Come and get you pathetic tin can!" He yelled out, grinning at V8 as the train continues its track, moving away from them.

V8 glared directly at Storm with its bright red eyes and charge once again then Storm quickly ran in a direction, as the robot followed right after him. Storm ran up to a cactus and waited for a moment and when V8 was near, he jumped into the sky and caused the robot to get his 'horn' stuck within the cactus. However, this didn't work as planned and the cactus was destroyed as V8 became free. Storm sighed softly, being the sky, then V8's wings slide out of its body and the jets kicked on as it flew up after Storm. Storm rolled his eyes then continue flying away, trying to stay a good distance, not knowing every single weapon that V8 has... As they fly, V8 has turned on his weaponry and shot some rockets out of his wings, which were heat seeking. Storm quickly flew downward and around a cactus to get the rockets to hit, and explode, the cactus. Storm then landed and quickly jump out of the way as V8 slammed into the sand.

Storm smiled, backing away a bit then V8 quickly jumped out of the sand and used his rockets and blast him directly Storm, which surprised him and he was pinned down quickly by V8 as V8's drill horn is turned on. V8 was just about to stab his drill horn directly into Storm's forehead but Storm manage to grab V8's head and threw the robot off of himself. Storm finally notices a storm cloud, and grins. Quickly, he takes off to the sky as V8 went right after him. As Storm flew upward, his speed was slowing down due to wind resistance and V8 was built to have little wind resistance, being able to catch up to Storm. V8 manage to get his robotic hooves on Storm, trying to pull him down but Storm kept flying, knowing his weak strength wouldn't be able to harm metal. As Storm drew nearer to the cloud, it became harder and harder especially once V8 made a creepy growling noise and stabbed its horn into Storm's left wing. Luckily, Storm was able to stay in the sky due to V8's jet engine and able to finally reach the storm cloud... As they both entered the cloud, Storm's body begun charging with eletrical energy from the cloud's lightning and quickly a burst of lightning came out of Storm, electricfying V8 so much that the robot had overrided and self destructed within the skies... With Storm still there.

Jelly and Wise was watching the skies, hoping to see their friend to quickly fly back to them but when they saw a small explosion from the distance, they fear the worse. "Do you think Storm is alright?" Jelly asked Wise, frowning softly. Wise shrugged a bit and said "I don't know..." Then, they both just stayed quiet, watching the skies still hoping for the best. Both Wise and Jelly stayed quiet for the rest of the train ride to Manehatten, not once saying a word nor thinking of anything to say. When they arrived, they quickly got off and looked around the place, smiling a little... "I guess it is time to see my old home..." Wise said as he walked...

"Oh why do you want to kill that grey mare so much Coxy? You do know we have bigger fish to fry... Or freeze in my case." Arc said as she followed Coxy in the forest who then stopped, growling a bit then calms down... "Argh fine... I'll leave her alone for now but who do you recommend killing? Hm?" Coxy asked as he turned around to face Arc. She smiled happily at Cox and said, "Wise... I saw that unicorn while I was searching for you and I think it is time for him to meet his parents." She said, smirking softly. Cox smiled, agreeing with her. "Yeah... He caused some trouble for me so a little revenge would be lovely.." She giggled softly as she nuzzled him softly. "That's it my dear... A little revenge then maybe we can come back here and collect some yellow eyes... Hm?" She whispered lightly into his ear as he grinned, liking the idea...

Wise and Jelly continued walking down the road until they found an old building which seemed to still be opened. Wise told Jelly to wait and trotted inside, looking around then walking up to a mare at the front desk. "Hello. I was wondering if you can help me find someone?" He asked as the mare blinked softly at him and said, "Sure. We have plenty of filles looking for a home." Wise quickly said no then added, "I'm looking for a specific pony who I was with in here a long time ago. You might have her on the records." The mare rolled her eyes and said, "Sorry, we can't help you." Wise blinked softly then looked over at her, saying, "Listen. My name is Wise and I have finally came back to try and find my little sister, Wisdom, and I demand some help! An arrow to point me in the right direction, you may say." The mare smiled softly upon hearing this and said, "Oh Celestia! It has been a long time... You have grown so much Wise that I nearly forgot... Name's Clare and I was also a young one here with you. I was best friends with your sister actually..." She was happy to see Wise again who blinked a bit. "You work here now?" He asked quickly as she nodded. "Yeah. Work where I grow up and try my best to help the future." She said then added, "As for your sister. She lives in a little town outside of Manehatten. I believe she is currently with a special somepony out there?" Wise smiled happily, and nodded. Saying goodbye and quickly hiding out back to Jelly, who seemd to have gotten some blueberry jelly somewhere and was eating it.

Wise sighed and said to Jelly, "What are you doing?" Jelly shrugged and answered, "Eating." Wise sighed again then headed out as Jelly walked behind him, dropping the jelly he had in the trash. "So where is your sister?" He asked as Wise blinked softly, saying, "Oh in another town not far from Manehatten. I guess it is time to maybe get a job... You know, get some bits for the train ride." They both nodded then head off to the market distrinct part of town where they found a store owner who hired them, knowing it was temporally and helpful. Both Jelly and Wise didn't said too much and worked throughout the day, earning bits by the hour, then they stopped as Jelly smiled as they met one of their customers...

Storm softly opened his eyes, noticing he is lay on a soft cloud bed... His left wing hurting badly but it is bandaged and he some bad scares of some parts of his body. As his eyes fully opened, he finally noticed a yellow-ish stallion in front of him who also had a striped brown and yellow mane, with matching tail. For some odd reason, he is wearing a crown on his head but quickly Storm caught who it is... "Princewhateverer?" He asked, having a hard time talking due to some pain. He chuckled softly upon hearing this and said, "Ah. you are up finally. You had an awesome little fight, well chase, in the sky... I kinda caught you in the sky as you were falling unconscious. Luckily for you, my cloud house was gently flying through the desert... Oh and please call me Prince. Princewhateverer is just my musician name." He smiled softly as Storm smiled a bit as well. "Thanks..." He said, still not saying much. "Just relax and rest some. You'll be healed up quite quickly.. Oh and I hope you dont mind but I took the robot thing's head and put on one of my shelves... I kinda am getting an idea from that." Prince said as Storm nodded a bit, showing that he doesn't mind and smiles a bit knowing that V8 is done for.

After a few hours of rest, Storm was able to get up a little and checked out the place. It was quite nice but not too fancy. Seemed like Prince doesn't seem to care for big a fancy... "Earlier you were saying that your house was flying through the desert... Why?" Storm asked as he spotted Prince walking back in. "Simple. To get away from certain fans and keep my privacy. They can't bother me when I am constantly moving, right?" Prince explained as Storm nodded in agreement, liking the idea. "By the way... Why did you risk yourself to save me?" Storm asked another question curiously. Prince smiled softly and said, "Oh I thought you were a lovely and handsome stallion." Which caused Storm to blinked a few times confusingly from this then he added, "Oh I'm joking. I did it because it would be mean to just let you fall to your possible death." Storm laughed a bit and smiled a little. "I guess that is reasonable enough..." He said as they both nodded then Prince asked, "Are you with anypony? I just want to make sure because I can easily take you back to your special somepony so she would be happy to see that you alright." Storm frowned a bit upon hearing this. "Not anymore. Magical Numbers was cheating on me so I broke up with her recently... Like the other day. Sad times in Ponyville, I guess." He said as Prince smiled a bit and added, "Glad you did. If she was doing such a thing then you should never have been with her... You know what, I think you should try asking Twinkle Dust out. She is an amazing singer and currently lives in Ponyville." Storm nodded softly, liking the idea. "Thanks but I need to get to Manehatten and find my friends... Do you think you can drop me there later?" Storm asked as Prince nodded softly. "Sure!" He said, agreeing to do so.

Prince happily, and quickly, helped Storm from there to get onto his hooves and manage to drop him off at Manehatten, without attracting attention from any possible fans. Storm walked into the city, looking around for any signs of where he can find Wise and Jelly. He continue to wonder around randomly through the city in the day, eventually getting into the market distrinct... He sigh softly then decided to head to a store, since Prince was nice enough to give him plenty of bits to help himself in Manehatten and get back home but once he was inside, he smiled as he finally found Wise and Jelly.

Jelly wan up to Storm, smiling softly at his good friend. "Oh my Celestia! Are you alright?" He said as Storm chuckled softly and said, "I'm good... Got lucky and a special pony saved me... I wont say who." Jelly blinked and nodded softly. "Your wing though..." He added as Storm nodded, saying, "It'll heal. Don't worry... Anyways, why are you ponies here anyways?" He asked as Wise finally step in, saying, "To earn some bits for the train tickets. I know where to go next to find my sister." Storm nodded softly but says, "I got plenty of bits you know so we can just go now..." Both Jelly and Wise smiled upon seeing that it is true then quit that job quickly and head straight to the train station with Storm!

They bought the tickets and the train head out toward the next town, which it didn't took long to get to. Once then, all three of them got out of train and headed toward the house that Wise manage to get quite easily from Clare and once they were there, he knocked on the door. A stallion opened the door, looking at Wise mainly and asking, "Can I help you?" Wise smiled softly and said, "Yes. I am looking for my sister Wisdom and was told she was hear, right?" The stallion blinked softly and answered Wise, "Sorry but she moved out a while ago with her boyfriend. In another town down west... It is quite a long train ride but you can easily get the tickets... Oh... Here." He left then came back with a piece of paper which tells Wise the house's number in the town. Wise nodded then they went off as Storm asked, "You find it strange that it was very quick and easy to get the info?" Wise just shrugged and they quickly went off to get the tickets and back on the train. Since it was getting dark and it will be a long nightly ride, they decided to happily fell asleep on the train...

"That was a lovely date Coxy... I just loved how you took care of Clare in front of them..." Arc said, smiling softly as she was reading a newspaper article from Manehatten, talking about a recent killing spree in a 'freezing death trap house'. Cox chuckled softly at her, happily saying, "Oh but how love it how you made some delicious popsickles... Now that what I have to say is quite indeed good." They both laugh as they sat on the train cart, heading to their next location as they follow Wise's movements. "Oh I did just for you..." Cox smiled upon hearing this from Arc and they both grinned as they stare into one another eyes...

The Doctor was walking through the Everfree Forest, with a few gadgets of his. "Now let's see how..." then he stopped, noticing a hole. He quickly ran up to it and begun freaking out a little. "Oh no! No no no no no! This is not good!" He said then looked around, seeing hoofprints in the mud. He took out one of his 'flashlights' he had and used it on the hoofprints and then begun following them. His 'flashlight' was able to follow the trail of these specific hoofprints and it lead him to the train station, which he stopped at it and begun thinking for a moment then finally gets an idea. "He's after Wise, Storm, and Jelly! I got to warned them some how!" He said then he ran quickly back home, packing everything up then using one of his machines at home to get a map of Equestria on a 'tablet' thing of his with the current locations of the ponies he needs to go help. Then he head off, not using the train but one of his own gadgets that he hadn't tested out yet. He calls it a Motorcycle! It was painted pure black and quickly put all of his stuff in the basket at the behind then got on it, and drove off. Heading where they are at!

In the morning, the train stopped and all three of the friends quickly got off. Wise ran straight to the place where his sister is at but when he got there, there seem to be the Royal Guard there. He came up to one and quickly asked, "Um... Can somepony explain to me what is going on?" A white pegasus Royal Guard looked over at Wise, "Why would you want to know?" He asked as Wise growled a little, "Cause my little sister lives here!" He said at the guard who frowned softly then explained, "Well... She was found dead... Nopony knows what happened. Been happening quite a lot recently though. Ponies being found dead after night as their family, or lovers, wake up with some sort of dark black mark on them..." Storm and Jelly manage to catch up, and Storm heard this saying... "No... How?" Everypony blinked softly at Storm who then decided to explain, "This happened before but in a small gated community I lived in... At one point in my life I moved to this lovely town with a very special somepony and we had a lovely time together. Very fun, very grand then the same killings started happening again. Eventually, my girlfriend became a victim and I decided to work with her father to stop it. We figured out it was some sort of shadow pony who calls himself Shadow... We manage to stop him though took a while and he did corrupted so many... But it became fixed and then I moved to Ponyville afterwards to get away from all of this... Later on, Shadow came back. You remember that, right Jelly and Wise?" Both Jelly and Wise nodded then Storm explained that whole story to the Royal Guard. "So... This is the doing of a powerful pony who can stalk the dreams of the sleeping and kill them in their nightmares eventually? Or corrupt them to come into our world or get them do his doing?" Royal Guard asked as Storm nodded. Wise was off to side, sitting alone and sad... He came all this way and failed to save her... Jelly say beside him and tried to cheer him but nothing was helping. The Guards nodded softly after collecting info from Storm and went off to investigate further into this in Canterlot, thinking it would probably be best to use some sort of magic to learn everything...

"I don't know what to do now... I officially lost everything!" Wise said, being highly upset and Storm decided to walk up to the sad unicorn. "You still got us... I mean, c'mon now... Cheer up! We've been through bad times and..." Before Storm could finish, The Doctor finally appeared on his motorcycle, looking extremely tired. "What happened to you?" Jelly said then Storm decided to take Wise somewhere else and try to cheer him while Jelly talks to The Doctor, who quickly replied, "Cox is out!" He said then quickly dig through his stuff and grab a special treat of his, eating it quickly then feeling much better. "Much better." Jelly blinked a few times then finally said, "Wait! Cox is out? Did he tried to get Derpy again?" The Doctor quickly said no then explained how he tracked them down and how he figured out that Cox is out, and is coming. Jelly nodded upon hearing this then both him and The Doctor quickly ran to where Storm and Wise, explaining everything to them. Wise was still upset but now he has a living breathing target to release his anger at. "What are we going to do?" Jelly asked then Storm gets an idea. "Fight! It is just Cox, so why not?" They all nodded. "But this time, I think it would be best to actual kill him... I mean it is the only way to get rid of him once and for all..." He added then The Doctor said, "I agree. If he can get out what I put him in, I think there is no other option..." They all agreed on this but wasn't quite happy. It isn't every day for them to actually kill somepony... At least it is somepony evil, right?

Wise got permission from his sister's boyfriend to go up to the ceiling of the house and hide out... A good spot for sniping, he thought, and Storm went straight up into the clouds, hiding within them while thinking, "After this, I would love to take a break...". Jelly stayed with The Doctor in the street, setting up all of The Doctor's 'toys'. Sadly, the guards had already left to do their business at Canterlot and wont be around to help... Or arrest them for murder. After a bit, they heard the train finally stopping and continued to wait a little more until finally Cox came walking down the street, with a icy blue mare.. Wise recognized her and smiled a bit, having a chance to avenge his family as well. They stopped, noticing both The Doctor and Jelly who blinked softly, a little confused. "Well well Coxy, they knew and decided to threw a little party." She said as Cox chuckled softly. Both Jelly and The Doctor got ready for whatever it is to come, staying quiet and not wanting to talk.

Then Wise smiled and yelled out, "Hey Arctic! Come at me bitch!" Wise changed his plans and the mare he yelled at smiled, turning into  a 'cloud of ice' and reforming on the ceiling. "With pleasure." She said as she reappears. Cox smiled then look at The Doctor and Jelly. "So tell me... Why do you think you can defeat me? Hm?" He said, grinning. "Because! I have SCIENCE!" The Doctor said, pushing a button which caused some explosions around Cox, blinding him easily and covering him in smoke. Jelly quickly put on a mask and ran up to Cox, ramming right into chest and throwing him into the air, and over The Doctor, then Cox landed on back, a breaking noise was heard...

That noise was Storm's cue and he quickly bucked a storm cloud, a lightning come straight down upon Cox, electricfying him and causing him great pain. The Doctor went up, and placed a hoof down on Cox's chest to pin him down and used a gun of his to zap Cox into dust... "That was easy..." Jelly said softly then The Doctor laughed. "It happens when you have a mastermind with plenty of time to set things up and make plans... But never expected that icy mare... " He said then looked over at the roof where he can see ice and magic blasting everywhere...

Arctic and Wise was in a magical fight, using sheilds and wards to block one another spells and constantly never stopping casting. "You grew quite a lot Wise... Maybe I should change my mind..." She said, smiling. Wise growled loudly. "No.. I know what you are thinking!" He yelled casting yet another blast from his horn, which Arctic once again blocked with a ward. "Fine then! I didn't want to do this!" She slammed her hooves upon the ground, freezing the whole entire roof and eventually freezing Wise in a block of ice. However, that block of ice quickly break as the ice surrounded Wise begun to melt due to the magical heat from his horn. "You got to try harder than that!" He proclaimed! Then a lightning striked hit part of the roof between them and both ponies looked up to see Storm and quickly Jelly and The Doctor joined Wise's side. Arctic blinked softly, looking around and noticing Cox is gone and she quickly growled but didn't did anything stupid. She said, "This isn't over!" Then became a icy cloud once again and quickly vanished in the air... Storm came down and sigh softly then looked over at Wise, and his friends. "At least we got Cox but now we got another foe... Who was she?" He said as Wise decided to explain, "That was the pony who assassinated my parents a long time ago... Kinda sad that she ran off but now we know she is still around and some day I'll make her pay!" They blinked and nodded softly, noticing Wise seemed to feel better after that little fight... Probably because he released a good amount of his angry in spellcasting.

Before they left to head back home to Ponyville, they went to Wisdom's funeral and Wise said his last words, and goodbyes, to his little sister then wished the best for her, where ever she is at now. Then, the three of them went home by train; The Doctor had to go home by his motorcycle... When they all got home, they went their own ways. Jelly went home to bath and relax in jelly, because that is what he does to cheer himself up. Wise went straight home and begun training his magical skills, getting ready for the next time he meets her again... Storm decided to go visit Twinkle Dust, and ask her out on a date, which she said yes to and they had a lovely time...

At the Canterlot Archives... The Royal Guard were everywhere, checking every single book and scroll in hopes to figure out what Shadow is and how to defeat him... One them found an interesting book about myths and one myth was about shadow ponies. An ancient, and thought to be made up, race of ponies which are fully black in color and symbol fears, nightmares, and darkness. They only prey upon ponies dreams when fear raises enough in Equestria and their names were always related to the darkness. Most common names being Shadow and Umbra...In this case, it was Shadow. These ponies also has the ability to corrupt normal ponies and eventually, the corrupted ones will become shadow ponies and can never be cured, which the cure is memory...
