MLP Adventures

Storm knocked at a door of a house in Cloudsdale then waited for somepony to come and answer the door for him. Porky eventually opened up the door and looked over at Storm curiously then said, "Oh hey there friend! What brings you here today?" Storm blinked softly then said, "You want to go on an adventure?" Porky blinked a few times then thought on it for a moment then decided to ask Storm, "Will there be spiders?" Storm shrugged at the question. "That I do not know for I am going on an adventure to find and destroy Shadow for once and for all!" He said as Porky nodded then finally decided, "Indeed. Sounds like fun. I shall come with you and lend you a hoof in this task." They both nodded then flew off toward Ponyville...

Wise walked softly to his mailbox and opened it to see what he got and one thing was a package. He quickly opened it and found an amulet, which he does not truly want. He brought it inside and sat on a table within his home then thought for a moment on what to do to get revenge on Arctic. She cause so many issues for his family that he has to do something in order to get rid of her and finally allow his mind to rest in peace... Especially with recent happening with his sister, though that was Shadow to blame... Shadow is also on his list of ponies he wishes to kill or see die. Then he heard a knock at the door and he walk out to open it, seeing Storm and probably one of Storm's friends. Storm came inside, telling Porky to wait outside real quick, then looked over at Wise. "Hey Storm. I'm just about to go and hunt down Shadow. My friend outside is going to help me find him, though not help me fight him. I was wondering if you wanted to join us since you know, Shadow kinda killed your sister." He said as Wise thought on it for a moment then looked over at the amulet, thinking... Then he got an idea! "Actually, I'm going to go after Arctic. You can go get Shadow, okay?"  He said as he uses his unicorn magic to put the amulet around Storm's neck, "And wear this. It might help you more than me..." Storm blinked a few times but then nodded and head off with Porky, not wanting to waste much time with idle chit-chat.

Wise then went over and knocked upon Jelly's door. When Jelly answered, he grin and asked, "So what is up?" Wise smiled softly and said, "You will help me find Arctic and get rid of her. Got it?" Jelly blinked a few times but sighed softly and said, "Fine but she is going to be too powerful for me... I do think we should talk to the Doctor real quick and see what he can help with though." They both nodded after that and went off down the straight and knocked upon the Doctor's door. He opened quickly saying, "Yes. Doctor Hooves is at your service. How can I... Oh. It's you. Need some help with something crazy again?" Wise nodded a bit. "Yes. I was wondering if you can help us catch that Arctic mare, if you remember her." The Doctor blinked and nodded some. "Yes. I do remember her and I do have just the thing! Wait here!" He said then went inside for a bit. After that bit, he came back out and gave Wise a special device with a nice little 3D map of the area around him and an arrow. "I kinda manage to get a good image of her and then used this device to... Well... You might not understand but really, the arrow is pointing where she is at. Just follow it and you will find her. I for one cannot come with you on this adventure cause I do have some other business with Ditzy today. Apparently somepony out there has hired her, and I, to make this show called 'Doctor Hooves and the Assistant'." The Doctor explained and Wise nodded softly, knowing what to do then headed off with Jelly, following the map...

"So how is that book going?" Storm asked Porky as they were waiting for the train to come. "Oh.. The Fallout: Equestria book? It's going good. Interesting read so far." Porky explained, smiling softly. Storm nodded a bit and said, "Good. I am thinking about giving it a read after we are done with all this Shadow crap." Porky nodded softly, quickly replying "Indeed." Then the train finally came and stopped. Both Porky and Storm got and as they do, they saw Thunder, from Storm's class, on the train. Storm decided to sit with him and smiled softly. "Hey there." Storm said, greeting him. "Oh hello." Thunder replied, looking at Storm then at Porky. "So what you two doing?" He asked curiously then Storm decided to reply, "Going to stop that Shadow guy." Thunder nodded a bit. "You want me to come as well? You might just need my strength." Thunder said, smiling a bit. Storm nodded happily, "Sure! More help, the better!" Storm said as Thunder smiled softly, liking the idea to lend a hoof.

Wise was looking at the device for a good few hours now as Jelly just waited, tapping a hoof on the ground... "So are we gonna go or what?" He said then finally Wise smiled excitely, knowing she is finally. "She's in Manehatten. Underground somewhere. Hey Jelly, ever been teleported before?" He said, smiling devilishly at his friend who blinked a bit and then backed away some. "That is too far of a..." He was unable to finish what he was saying before Wise used his magic to teleport him and Jelly out of Ponyville. They both appeared in Manehatten, Wise was rubbing his head softly... "Never again." He said to himself as Jelly blinked a few times then glared over at his friend. Then both decided to just get going and move onward, looking around the town for some sort of passage down underground while using that device as a guide of where to look.

After a long train ride, they stopped at a town in the desert. Storm didn't bothered with remembering the name of the town and ran straight into the desert with Porky and Thunder behind. "Quick question. Why are we running randomly into the desert?" Porky asked then Storm stopped and sigh softly. "Cause I know a bit about Shadow from my last encounter with him long ago. His species is near extinct; he is last of his kind... His kind were worshipped quite a lot by us ponies long ago during the original days of Discord. Back then, his species was praised for they brought dreams back then to help those under Discord's rule feel better when asleep... But when Celestia came... Well... They decided to switch from dreams to nightmares... Then eventually to killing. One of the original temples are still built and I went to it before to stop him a long ago. Going back there again but this time, doing things a little differently." Storm explained to Porky and Thunder as they all nodded then followed Storm to this mysterious place...

8 years ago... Storm was walking down a hall, holding a torch in his mouth for light then he reached a grand chamber within the place, looking around the place and checking out the carvings... It was a timeline! The first few was of Discord's rule then the second few was the introduction of what is currently known as the Shadow Ponies. Then there was carvings of Celestia and Luna arrival with the defeat of Discord... Then the betrayal of the Shadow ponies, and so on. Storm blinked a few times, reading and checking out the carvings then his torch went out and it was black as he heard a voice but couldn't understand the language... Then a ghostly figure of a pony finally appeared giving Storm an upsetting look...

Now... Jelly opened up a passage that leads into the sewers and jump down. Wise was right behind and took a good look around the place then said, "Argh... I hate doing dirty work." Jelly chuckled softly then Wise glared over at his friend for chuckling. Then they both decided to walk through these filthy sewers, trying not to step into anything they'll regret getting into... After a bit of walking, Wise finally found an unique looking door and gotten up to it and knocked on it then the door whispered to them, "What is life's greatest illusion?" Wise blinked then begun thinking to himself on it as Jelly looked around then finally said, "Innocence?" The door then spoke again, "Welcome!" and it has opened. Wise blinked at his friend asked, "How did you know?" Jelly smiled softly and replied, "Well... No one is innocent, right?" Wise nodded a bit at that and they both entered the pathway that has just opened.

"So... We are finally here... Right when night is about to come upon us..." Thunder said as he looked at the temple ruins. "Indeed." Porky said then looked at Storm who just walked right inside, and his friends came right behind him. "So what about traps?" Porky asked then Storm said, "Don't worry. They should be disabled." Then he grabbed a torch on from the wall and rubbed it against the ground for a bit, and managed to get it lit. Then he went onward first to light up the passage of the temple as his two friends came right behind him. Eventually Storm stopped and blinks a few times, putting the torch safely down on something. "Thunder, this wall wasn't here before. Mind knocking it down?" Storm asked his friend, pointing at a wall. Thunder nodded a bit then got up to it with his back to it then he bucked, bricking the wall down easily but then a gush of wind came, blowing out the torch... Making it too dark to see. "Where is the torch!" Porky said, frightened but then the three saw a light-bluish light down the hall, beyond the destroyed wall. Storm walked toward, beckoning his friends to follow which they did so, only able to see his figure blocking the light a bit...

8 years ago... "How dare you invade our temple! Name you reasoning or else... Speak!" The ghostly figure said as it glared at Storm who simply replied, "I am just here to take care of somepony named Shadow. He has been causing trouble for me and some others so I wish to take care of him. Where is he?" The figure which he spoke to had stopped glaring at him then said, "You speak of Shadow as his name and I know which one you speak about. I will help with your wish for Shadow the Traitor has to be punished for the death of Umbra..." With that, the figure finished but the room lit up with a bluish glow then only one hall was lit up... This has to be the way and so Storm smiled and followed the lit path.

Now... Wise has been using his magic to light up the dark passage as he and Jelly went down. "This place is a bit creepy... And why would she be down here anyways?" Jelly asked his friend who quickly replied, "It's alright... And she is an assassin." Jelly then nodded upon hearing his friend and decided to stay quiet to look around for any possible threats. At the end of the passage, they came to a big empty room. Wise looked around for any other possible ways but found none. He blinked a few times and then begin to check around the room for anything interesting. "I'll check the walls for a weak point or hidden door." Jelly said as he trots over to the walls and begun using his front hooves to check it for anything.

As Storm and his two friends walk down the hall, they finally reached the same ghostly figure that Storm had met many years ago. The figure glared over at Storm and his friends then said, "You have failed last time and now you wish to try again?" Storm kept his friends quiet and nodded softly at the figure who stomped on the floor and said, "But this time, I shall not help you for Shadow is expecting you already and been waiting. He seem to be wanting to get his hooves on you... I beg you though, leave now for only death awaits." The figure vanished and all the torches lit up in the place. Porky and Thunder looked at Storm with curious face then Storm said, "Don't worry. I have a feeling we will live... I just do." Both of his friends nodded and went with him as Storm went deeper into the temple, knowing where to go since he still remembers from last time.

Wise stared at a strange picture of Arctic on the wall, wondering why she would have a picture of herself in this pretty empty room. Jelly was still busy checking the walls on the other side of the room then Wise got an idea and used his magic to move the picture out of the way and found a hole only big enough for one leg to enter. Wise decided to use his magic to pick a rock nearby and just slide it into the hole then he heard a click and a hidden trap door in the middle opened, showing spiral stairs. Wise smiled and went ahead down as Jelly went right behind him. "Good job Wise Pony!" Jelly commented as he came down with Wise who smiled softly from the comment.

Thunder burst down a door that was locked and then Storm rushed into the room and finally seeing the book in the middle of a pretty big room. "This is the room... Get ready colts." He said as he walked up to the book then opened it, going through the pages. Both Thunder and Porky shrugged softly and just watched Storm for now, wondering what is going to happen... Storm finally found the page and then back away from the book as it begun glowing and soon a dark fog appeared out of it and soon formed into Shadow who smiled softly. "I knew you will be doing this again... Just like old times Storm, right?" He said looking over at Storm who got into a defensive position and nodded, getting ready. Both Porky and Thunder also joined in with Storm which caused Shadow to chuckle softly. "Looks like you have some friends as well. Well then... Maybe I should too get some friends, hm?" He said then two more fogs came out and one formed a giant spider, which is Porky's fear, while the other formed an unicorn, Thunder's fear being magic... Porky stared the spider then just ran out of the room as the spider vanished, making it more fair to the two staying... "Thunder, just go and get Porky." Storm said and Thunder nodded, running off as well so it is only just Storm and Shadow, who was grinning. "Now let's dance!" Shadow said and charged at Storm but right before he hit Storm, the amulet on him exploded and both him and Shadow vanished...

Arctic waited on a balcony, using the controls of a room to open up the floor and to reveal the spikes under the floor. "I do hope that amulet was sent to the right pony or else a certain mailpony will get it..." She said to herself then smiled softly at the crystal hanging on the ceiling in the room then she casted a spell right at it, causing the crystal to explode... Storm came out of the fog that was created and quickly used his wings to catch himself before landing on any of the spikes below. Shadow also caught himself and growled loudly. "Who dared to interupt my fight!" He yelled out then looked over at Arctic on the balcony who just glared at the two pegasi. "Oh really now?" She said then hit the button, having the floor slowly come back. Storm blinked then landed on the floor safely and watched the two. "Yes! You should pay for your interuption you filthy maggot!" Shadow yelled out, being quite mad now at Arctic who teleported down onto the floor and stomped her front right hoof. "Bring it shadow boy!" She said, also being quite mad as well.

Shadow quickly landed and changed into his unicorn form and quickly casting a shadow blast right at Arctic who used an ice wall to block it quickly then casted an ice ball spell back at Shadow who simply absorbed it. "Gotta do better than that!" He proclaimed then casted another spell, creating a shadow that is moving on the floor right at Arctic who quickly froozed the floor to stop it then created an ice spike and shoot right at Shadow, who ducked to dodge it safely. Then he growled and used a constant beam of shadow at Arctic who then used a constant beam of ice back at him, trying to push the shadow beam back... But Shadow was slowly pushing the ice beam back.

Then Wise and Jelly ran into the room finally, near Storm and watched the fight curiously. Storm looked over at Wise and just shrugged then Wise smiled, getting an epic idea. He begin to use his magic, casting a spell on Arctic without her knowing then she begin to win the beam fight with Shadow and it didn't took long for her ice beam to win, causing an explosion of frost which caused Shadow to freeze into an ice statue and half the room is now covered in ice. Arctic smiled then looked over at Wise and growled. "Well. I guess we have to do this the hard way." She said then casted her ice beam right at Wise who casted his own green beam of magic back but ended up losing slowly.

Jelly left the room to hide, not wanting to be there when another magical explosion happened. Storm quickly took to the air and flew in the upper part of the room and then quickly flew straight down at Shadow in a kicking motion. Upon kicking Shadow, his icy statue exploded with dark magic, sending Storm flying across the room, rolling on the floor and unconscious. Arctic was closed enough and she was hit by the explosion causing her to stop her spell then Wise's beam went directly into her, changing her body from solid into liquid as the shadow covered her up and that half of the room. Wise smiled then looked over at Storm and ran toward him but a block of ice fall from the ceiling, landing on Wise's head and he blacked out quickly...

Storm slowly opened his eyes then looked around, seeing Wise on a bed who is up and just staring at Storm. Storm then looked around some more, finally seeing that they are in the hospital and then he saw Jelly, Thunder, and Porky. "Um...What happened?" Storm asked, rubbing his head softly. Three of his friends just shrugged then Jelly explained, "I found you and Wise unconscious so I went to get some help and well got the two of you carried here at the hospital in Manehatten. I then sent a letter to our teacher, explaining that we wont be there for a while." Both Thunder and Porky nodded then Thunder added, "And our teacher did got it and told the rest of the class about it. I was back at Ponyville by then, after calming Porky here. I directly came back to tell Porky what I heard and we both came here to see it for ourselves." Storm smiled softly and nodded, rubbing his head again then decided to rest now. His friends leaving the room now, letting Storm and Wise rest...

A week later, Storm and Wise was sent back to Ponyville. Storm decided to finally continued his life, knowing that Shadow is truly gone and Wise decided to go on a vacation so he left Ponyville quickly afterwards. Porky and Thunder went back to what they were doing at their homes in Cloudsdale, being a bit happy that they had a little adventure for once. Jelly was back at home, relaxing softly on his bed... Finally not having to deal with any crap that his friends been having for the last month and so then he heard a knock at his front door. Jelly got up and opened it then gasped upon seeing somepony... "Syrup!" He said as the dark brown pony, with a darker brown mane and tail, as well as having a syrup bottle as his cutie mark, smiled softly at Jelly... He said, "Hello... Brother."...
