Chapters "Why the hell should i care Justin, it's just a stupid show you, Eddie, and Chris watch. Frankly I dont see whats so amazing about a little girls cartoon." Josh complained while Justin was scribling down notes as fast a he could.
After a few seconds of writing Justin put his pencil and took a deep breath as softly as he could then turned to Josh. Justin started whispering "Well you will never know if you like or not if you dont give it a shot, Chris said the same thing when we asked him two weeks ago and he likes the show." He then turned back to sit in his seat right. " And who knows you might be a bigger fan then Eddie." He said with a snicker and a grin plasterd on his face.
Josh then turned to Justin and gave him a 'shut the hell up' friendly punch on the arm. Josh then put his best serious face on and said "The only way your gonna make me watch it is if you give me 5 dollars." With that said a loud ring from the schools bell sounded telling the class to go to next period.
2:08 pm Art
"Hey Eddie come here for a few seconds I got something to show you." Chris said as Eddie leisurely strolled over to him with a questioning look smacked on his face.
"Well what is it you wanted to show me." Eddie said as Chris handed him some papers with drawings on them. The surprised look on his face was all Chris needed to see to know he did a great job. "So this is what you think we would look like if we went there." he said with a ecstatic look on his face.
"Yeah and this is Josh. I know he said that he would never want it but he could kiss my ass because he's getting one." Chris with a grin but then started to scratch his head like he a forgeting something.
"Now all we need is the names to go with our p-" "NOW I REMEMBER!" Chris yelled out while Eddie was talking. The art room fell silent at Chris's outburst as all eyes fell on him. "What! None of y'all can honestly say that non of y'all never forgot anything." Chris said as he folded his arms. His country accent when he's angry made the class burst into laughter which made him even more angry and slightly embarrasseed. "HEY! SHUT THE HELL UP!" His accent deeping making the class laugh harder.
Eddie stopped laughing fast enough to break Chris out of his angry state to ask " Well what were their names." before having to take a deep breath to calm himself.
Chris imediatly snapped out of his rage to answer. "Well their names are" -BBEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEPPPPPPPP- the tardy bell rang "well what do you think." Chris asked in high hopes what Eddie thought on the names.
"Dude those are some really great names but why am I named after a cake." Eddie asked seemingly amoused at his other forms name staring in awe at the picture.
Chris shrugged "I dont honestly know but it seemed right at the time. If you dont like it you can change it but tell me cause I'll wanna know." He said as he patted him on the shoulder.
Justin suddenly appeared out of the blue and let the teacher his pass. He then walked over to Chris and Eddie. "Hey, can I borrow 5 dollars." He asked hoping they would have it.
"Sure." Eddie said with a sigh. he opened his wallet and pulled out 2 dollars then gave it to Justin. "Sorry only have 2, but I thought I had 5 dollars in 1's." He said scratching his head
Justin, now biting his bottom lip slightly bouncing, turn to Chris with a pleading look in his eyes. At this Chris just sighed and pulled 3 dollars out of his wallet and gave it to Justin. "Thanks." Justin said and bolted out the door.
"What was that all about." Eddie asked still scratching his head "And were did you get the 3 dollars any way, you have been asking me for a dollar for a while now." He asked giving Chris a angry gaze.
"I took it out of your wallet a while ago. You should not leave it in on the table y'know." Chris said returning Eddies gaze tring to keep his accent at bay but failing.
Eddie sighed "Your an ass you know." He said with a dry chuckle.
"I know that, but that why y'all are my friends, and we all know what friendship is." Chris said laughing "Hey Eddie I got to get back on my drawing. See you tomorrow." He said as he pointed at the blank canvas.
"Pinkey Promise?" Eddie asked with a grin as Chris turned around with the same grin.
"Yeah." Chris said shaking his head and laughing under his breath.
2:52 pm Math
"Here." Justin said handing Josh the 5 dollars.
Josh sighed knowing now he has no choice but to go. "Why do you want me to watch that show any ways." He asked hoping to get a answer.
"It's not only me, it's also Chris and Eddie." Justin said while shrugging.
"Well I have to go now dont I?" Josh said with a heavy sigh
"Yeah, and I have a gut feeling that your going to thank me after all this." Justin said trying to act mysterious but failing while Josh was laughing. Justin was getting agitated, Josh realized this and tried to stop himself before he got in trouble.
"Well I'll will see you at 3." Justin said cheerfully walking away. Once he reached his desk he started packing his stuff to leave. He looked at his watch to see how much time they had left. "6 minutes left." He said under his breath followed by a deep sigh and decided to lay his head down for a quick nap.
3:11 pm School Parking lot
"What are we waiting for lets just go." Chris said impatiently.
"Dude just take a nap or something. Your really starting to annoy me." Eddie said massaging his head. Josh shows up looking a bit down.
"What's the matter." Justin asked.
Josh let out a deep sigh then looked up at the other three friends. "Well my girlfriend just asked if I wanted to go see a movie with her." Josh said as he sighed again.
"Well if you want to go, we wont stop you." Justin said turning to Eddie and Chris.
"Yeah we dont really care." Eddie said as he shrugged then also stared at Chris, who had a grin.
"No. Your coming with us." Chris said while trying to put a straight face on as Justin and Eddie stared in surprise at his statement. "With how much crap you put me through because I watched this show I wont let this oppertunity go." He said while he walked up to Josh. "Especially to someone who joined ROTC just to see if women really did like a man in uniform." He wispered in Josh's ear. When Josh heard this he went pale.
When he finally made up his mind he let out one more depressed sigh. "Ok. I'll go with you." Josh hissed between his teeth as Justin and Eddie stared in complete shock at how easy Chris made him join. "And besides this guy in uniform got himself a girlfriend didn't he." He wispered back into Chris's ear as he got into the backseat of the car with a big grin built on his face.
"Alright. Can we go now?" Chris said slightly aggitated as he got into the front of the car slaming the car door shut. He took a couple of calming breaths in hope not to show he was mad. Justin and Eddie got in the car not knowing what just happened. Justin shaking his head to concentrate on driving. He started his car and the were on there way.
6:56 pm Justin's House
"I still dont see why you like this crap" Josh trying to resist the tempting colors and animation. Justin was trying to find a new episode while holding back a fit of laughter. "Well at least I'm not in the rain right now." Josh said trying to justify why he is staying while Eddie rolls his eyes.
Chris stood up and went into Justin's room only to be stopped by a "Dont go in there." from a Justin who was still searching for a video. "Just put on season 2. Eddie likes it, and it would introduce another villian to shut Josh up." Chris said as he went back to his seat to take a nap. At this Josh turned to him and gave him a glare that would scare the devil. Chris shrugged and continued walking , once he sat down he wasted no time to take his nap. He was out. They said in unison save Chris who let out a snore in reply.
"Well Chris did have a good idea." Justin said as he found the videos and put them on. 'Damn this weather is depressing, make that two great ideas Chris had' he thought as he looked at Chris who was fast asleep and gave another snore in reply.
45 minutes passed and they were all happily watching the video and the villian was about to be defeated until a loud -CRRRAACCCKKK- followed by a huge flash of purple came from the storm outside. Chris woke up from his pleasant nap just in time for all the power to shut off. Soon after the TV turned back on but none of the lights did. We watched the TV for a second which was still on the video paused 3 seconds before the main villian was beat then something happened to the show. Mwahahahah rang threw the room with a booming volume "What are the odds that something this delicously chaotic would happed." the villian said with a smile that spelled evil "Here I will leave this little portal open so you 4 can come on in and cause a little chaos for your selves." he said while outlining the TV border. "This will be my gift to you who will be the first of your kind on this side." He said giving a sarcastic salute with the evil grin before returning to his position from before. Another loud -CRRRAACCCKKK- followed by a green flash struck the TV out of nowhere.
The TV then had a hypnotic swirl of purple and green. The 4 Friends just sat there in utter shock trying to process what just happened. Eddie was the first to snap out of the phase but eyes still glued to the swirling TV. "I'm going to go get a flashlight." He said still in a daze forgeting where he is. He started walking forward and tripped on his backpack and hitting face first in the edge of the TV. Half conscious from the hit, he stood back up using the table the TV was on to prop himself up and stared at the screen again. By some unknown force Eddie was dragged in leaving only his shoes in front of the table.
The remaining 3 were stuned staring in fear when Justins dad walks in. "Why is are the lights out in here." He asked trying the light switch which proved failure every time he tried. "Damn. Lightbulb must have died." he stated walking to the window and took a look outside to see the rain pouring down with the force of a stampede of rinhos. "Looks like I'll have to get some in the morning." He said noticing that Eddie was gone. He walked toward Eddie's shoes and backpack then said "Tell Eddie he can't leave his stuff in the middle of the floor or someone will trip and get hurt." He walked to Justin and gave him a playfull hit on the head before walking back to his room and closing his door.
Justin then got up and walked over to Chris and Josh, then started shaking them to get them to snap out of it. "We have to go get him" Justin said in the calmest voice he could muster up. Josh and Chris just nodded and stood up in front of the TV portal. "Maybe if we do what Eddie did we'll go through. Chris got a menacing grin on his face as he took Josh and forcably tossed him into the TV. Before Josh fully disapeare you could almost hear what sounded like a 'Fuck you' from the brave fallen soldier as Chris gave a salute. Justin looked at Chris with a questioning look. "WHAT THE FUCK. Why did you do that?" He asked pissed at the fact now the have 2 friends they have to save now.
"It was all for the love of adventure these fallen heros gave their life for. We will alwa-" Justin put his hand over Chris's mouth interupting his memorial speech for his fallen comrades in the line of duty.
"Why did you throw Josh in there?" Justin asked as his words were packed with venom.
"Well it's a portal, and when are we ever going to get this chance again." Chris said to justify his cause. At this Justin facepalmed as Chris moved closer to the TV and looked back to Justin with his grin growing.
"Dont you Fucking think about it." Justin hissed. Chris just shrugged and mumbled "party pooper" before touching the TV. When his fingers touched it ripples crossed the screen as he withdrew his hand and stood straight up.
"Well im going. You can stay and explain why 3 of your guest went up and missing or you could just trust in the powers of the chaos you just saw." Chris said before diving into the TV with a final shout of "Why is it so fucking cold" before his voice completely desapears.
As Justin looks around his living room he notices a picture him and his 3 friends took last year. He notices words scribbled on it. 'We will alway be friends even when apart, we will always find a way back together.' A tear falls from his eyes and onto the picture. Under the words were a newer bunch of words that said 'GOD thats fucking cheesy. Were are my fucking crackers. BY Chris ps: I dont like wheat.' He just laughed and went to the kitchen to grab some all wheat crackers before walking to the TV. "Well you were all ways an ass even when in another dimension." He said to the crackers before staring into the TV. "Well here goes Chris's crackers first. I hope he gets them fucking asshole." He says as he tossed the crackers in which surprisingly worked but noticed non of the shoes went in. He walked over to his room and took his shoes off and made his way back to the TV. With his new harden resolves he readied himself in front of the portal and at the top of his lungs yelled "FOR SCIENCE!" as he sprinted to the portal and took a dive.
As he went through it he looked back and saw the living room through a small square in a blinding white void. It felt like he was falling then a sharp pain started to develope in his body. He struggled as the pain grew more and more until the aganizing pain caused im to black out when the world gained color.
-----Chris's P.o.V. -----
"Fuck, why is so god damn cold and bright." I said as I put my hood from my hoodie to cover my eyes and to keep the cold wind from hitting my face. Why the hell did i come in here, worst idea I ever had. Justin should have fucking stopped me.
I let out a sigh of relief as the wind started to die down as it warmed up. Then a wave of pain shot through me when I hit a passing cloud next to a forest. Clouds are hard, who knew. As I stood up and let my eyes adjust to my surroundings, I notice a scream of pain coming from under me. I looked around to not notice anyone around me or under me. "Cool I found some crackers, the gods of treats prove to be generous today." I turned the crackers around and then read the wrapper '100% wheat .... Fuck you god of treats' then threw the crackers off the cloud. Then I heard the scream again, so I got up and searched again.
"Were are you!" I yelled trying to figure out were they were. I sat there and waited for a response but never got one. "I forgot that clouds move." I said as I brought my hand to a facepalm but then saw I had no hands but blue hooves instead. "No way." I was a freaking pony, a pegasus at that. 'I guess I'll use my knowledge of ponies here.' My excitement was then cut short by another scream of pain. This time I knew what direction it was from, so I tried to spread my wings, to my surprise they did. "Now we're getting somewhere." I said with a grin, the scream was now closer.
"Help!" the scream was closer and I can tell it was from a mare. So I tried flaping my wings but I was going nowhere any time soon so I did the next best thing. I took a few steps back and got into position and after a short countdown I sprinted with all my might and jumped off the cloud. I was really hope for a stroke of dumb luck that I just happened to not be to high off the ground, then I was greeted with a hard belly flop on a lake. "OWW." I regret nothing. I slowly walked out of the lake and started to run to were the scream came from.
"Hey! Were are you!" I yelled as I tried to find the origan of the scream.
"Here! And hurry I think I broke my leg." she cried from behind the treeline. As I make my way through the light of day gets consumed by the darkness of the forest. I went a good 20 feet before stumbling upon a pink earth pony mare sitting next to a tree. 'Ok now what do I do.' I slowly make my what to her and see her broken leg.
"Alright." I said as I tried to think of a way to help her. 'Maybe I could carry her back .... Yeah, that seems to be the only way.' "Ok. Climb on my back." as I kneeled down and she just nodded and climbed up. We then started to walk in a random direction because I just got here.
"Thanks. I didn't think anyone would find me in the middle of a forest." she said as we continued a random bee line through the thick forest. The walk was extremly boring and the mare would not shut up.
"Im sorry to interupt but .. SHUT UP!" I said with a Iritated tone of voice. 'If all mares talk like this one, this is going to be a upsetting trip. Honestly she was just like Josh.' I feel like I did the world a favor shuting her up. It was a long peacefull, and boring, walk. 'I wish I still had my music right about now.'
10 minutes go by before she asks "Whats your name anyways." Since I was a pony I thought it would be as best opertunity as any to use my created name.
"Storms Melody, and to whom did I have the pleasure of meeting in the middle of a forest." I said as I rolled my eyes to answer her question.
"You wouldn't believe me but my name is Josh" She said. I stopped dead in my tracks at that bit of information. She must have thought they said something wrong. "Are you ok." She asked noticing I was shaking. I was trying to hold back the worst case of laughter in history.
"No. It's all good." I said as I collected my thoughts a devilish grin grew on my face. 'This is going to be the best trip ever.' We walked for another 15 minutes before reaching an opening in the distance.
"Well we're finally out of that damn forest." I said as I let out a yawn. 'Damn im tired. Must have been the long walk plus extra weight.' We started our way to the hospital and she was looking around as if waiting for something. "You ever been here before, your looking around like a maniac." I asked walking down the road.
"No. Just taking in the sites." She said still looking around.
"Well I just thought you might be looking for somepony." I said shrugging.
"Well actually I am looking around for 3 of my friends. I thought this would be one of the first places they would come to." She said in a rather sad tone.
"Yeah I know the feeling. I lost 3 of my friends at one point to. I eventually found 1 of them." I said with my grin growing. "By the way were are you from exactly."
"A far away place." She said still in a sad voice "You would have never been there so dont ask for specifics."
"You'd be surprised at how many places I've been to and came from." I yawned as we reached the hospital and went inside. A nurse trotted up to us and took Josh to a room to get her leg checked out while the doctor asked me some questions to fill out a form.
Once a gave him all the true information 'He didn't believe any of it' I went to the room Josh was in. "Hey once your done in here I could help you find your friends. Just find me in a nearby cloud and call my name." She just nodded in reply with a smile. The doctor walked as I was heading out the door. He stopped me and asked "What did you mean you said you were from a place called Texas?"
"What?! Your from earth to." Josh asked in a surprisingly happy tone.
"Well yeah. Who do you think threw you into the TV." I said while laughing. I notice her face go from happy to pissed in under 1 second. I just grinned. "What the jacket not give you any hints at all." I laughed noticing a injured pony. 'Holy crap its snowflake, and he's checking out Jo- Oh My God. You could not ask for a better set up.' My grin turned into a grow as an idea came to me.
"Hey snowflake. You can play with her if you dont break her." As I said this Josh looked across the room to see a big white pegasus with his eyes glued to her drowling. She turned to me with a glare that said 'I will have my revenge' as I turn back to the door. "Well doc. I guess I'll go and let you do your thing." I said closing the door behind me.
I was making my way to the front door when all I heard was " No NO NO NO. NNNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOHOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" With a smile on my face I made my way to the outside taking a deep breath on the great good deed I did. I looked around and noticed a fairly big cloud that could hold 3 pegasi on it and decided to take a nap.
I flaped my wings and got enough air to take me up to the cloud when I noticed a gray mare with blond hair laying down looking at the sky just watching the higher clouds pass. "Yo" I said as I raised a hoof for a shake and a friendly smile on my face as she looked at me with a surprise expression. She started to go wall eyed and panicked. I started to laugh at her alarmed state. She turned to me with a sad look on her face and flew off, as she flew away a small little glistening spec rolled off her face.
I was frozen were I stood as she flew out of sight. 'Was that a tear?' I thought walking over to the edge of the cloud. 'Did she think I was laughing at her.' I wondered as I stepped a couple of feet back and sat down. "Why .... Why do I feel so bad right now" I asked as I just sat there looking off to where the grey mare flew of to bringing a hoof to my chest. I turned around and laid down were she was and slowly drifted off to sleep.
----Justin's P.o.V. -----
'Smoke. Why do I smell smoke?' *Cough* I try opening my eyes, to my displeasure everything is just a blur and really bright. 'I'll try my senses, smell.' I took a slight sniff which was over run with smoke more than anything else. *Cough* 'Check, hearing?' I just focused on my surroundings. I could here the crackling of the wood that was burning next to me. 'Check, good enough. I'll just my eyes again.' I opened my eyes and they were alot clearer.
"Well it looks like somepony's finally awake." A yellow stallion said with a smile as I collected my thoughts. *Cough* I held my hand up to my mouth to only realize I had no hands.
"What am I?" I asked trying to not sound to shocked as I looked around "Were am I?" then looked back to him and asked "Who are you." At this he looked really surprised.
"Well for one your a pony, and secondly your in the everfree forest." He said with another smile. "And do you really not know who I am?" He asked, his smile faded into a light frown.
"No. I'm sorry." I said with a hint of guilt.
"Well we did fall out of the sky." He said letting out a sigh. "What were we doing up there anyways?"
I then relised he looked like one of Chris's ponies he made of us, then I noticed the bumb on his head. "Eddie?" I asked only to get a confused look on the yellow ponies face.
"No, I am Cheese Cake. We've been friends for a long time Chrome." He said with a really sad face. He let out a sigh and asked"How about Storms. Do you remember him?" 'Storms. Isn't that Chris's pony name.' He face started to lighten up when I realized who Storms was. "So you at least remember him?" I gave a slight nod and he let out a sigh of relief. We decided it would be best to get out of the forest and head to the nearest town.
After 20 minutes or so of walking through the seemingly endless forest I asked "Were are we going anyway?" He stared at me with a questioning look.
"We're heading to Canterlot. Maybe the princesses know how to find Storms." He said as he pick up a little speed from his rather slow pace.
"I've been meaning to ask but wasn't there 4 of us?" I asked as he stopped and put a hoof on his forehead were a small bump was.
"I cant quite remember anything besides you, me, Storms, and this place." He said trying to remember something. "Everything else seems like a blur. The only thing I can remember was hearing Storms saying our names." He let then let out a sigh and started to walk again. 'Whats going on?'
An hour of walking and we finally made our way out of the forest. I saw a vast open field. You could see Canterlot on the side of the mountain. "The sun is at its peak so its about noon. We're going to have to hurry in order to get an audience with the princesses." I said as my walk turned into a run. Cheese cake nodded and ran along with me.
'We made it here faster than I thought we would. That was what, a 10 minute run.' I was trying to catch my breath when I noticed ponies just staring at us. "Why are they staring at us." I asked. Cheese Cake just shrugged.
"They're staring at you because of you disruptive entrance." A voice said from behind us. We turned around to notice a violet unicorn staring at us with a smile. 'Wow. The last thing I expected today was to get talk to my favorite pony' "Hi, my names Twilight Sparkle and may I ask why you came in like your being chased by a manticore?" She asked staring at me and Cheese Cake.
I was just standing there, frozen. I wanted to answer her question but some part of me was just stoping me. 'Why cant I say anything.' Cheese Cake was now staring at me. He let out a sigh and said "We are here to see the princesses. We have a few questions that only she could probably answer."
"Oh. Well if thats all I can get you to see the princesses." Twilight said as she walked past us. Cheese Cake shoved me and gestured to follow.
After a few minutes, it was a nice and peacefull walk to the castle. The other ponies were still watching us. Not sure if it was because were new or the comotion we caused earlier. "You know what I think?" Cheese Cake says in a low enough voice were Twilight cant here him.
"What?" I asked in the same tone.
"You like Twilight." He said as a slight grin grew on his face.
"WHAT!?" I yelled in surprise. Twilight turned surprised at the sudden outburst and I felt my face grow a little warmer.
"Are both of you ok." She asked. She noticed my face was a little red so she walked up and put her hoof on my forehead causing my face to grow even warmer. 'Come on. I knew she was my favorite character in the show but I never had these kind of feelings.' "Do you have a fever." She had a little bit of worry in her voice. I shook my head in response and she let out a sigh of reliefe.
Cheese Cake was laughing really hard until he callapsed onto the floor. He cought his breath and said "We're good just having a little stallion talk." She just nodded and kept walking. As Twilight got out of ear range he turned to me then said "Looks like I was right. For some reason I just knew you liked her but not that badly." 'He deserves to get fucking punched for making me go through that.'
After a few minutes my anger passed and the word Storms came back to my mind. "Where do you think Storms is?" I asked trying to get my mind off what just happened.
"I Dont know." Cheese Cake said while he stopped to think. His eyes opened wide and he turned to look at the forest. "You dont think he's still in the Everfree forest, do you?" Cheese Cake asked as he was looking at the castle then the forest not knowing what to do.
"What going on?" Twilight asked as she slightly tilted her head. 'Why does she look ... different. Is it because I'm a pony now to.' She walked over to the me and asked "Is he going to be ok."
"There were 4 of us but we dont know what happened to the others." After I said that Twilight nodded Cheese Cake stopped pacing.
"Can your princesses find other ponies?" Cheese Cake asked with a hint worry in his voice.
Twilight shrugged and said "I think princess Celestia might know a tracking spell strong enough to reach your friends."
"Well lets get going, the sooner we get to the princess the faster we find storm." I said as I started to walk in the direction of the castle. The others nodded and caught up to me.
After an hour of walking we came to the castle. 'My god this place is huge' We entered the castle to see princess Luna walking down the hallway. "Ah. Twilight Sparkle we are pleased to see you again." Luna said as we bowed. "Please raise. We do not like these formalities you ponies give us." Luna said. "Now why is it you brought these two ponies?" She asked
"Well they need help finding their friends who they fear are in the Everfree forest." Twilight said.
"Hmm. Well we could ask Tia if she knows a spell to help find them." Luna said while tapping her hoof on her chin.
"Yes. That would help a lot. Storms the youngest one out of us all, I dont like the thought of him being in the forest at night." I said. Luna just nodded in agreement and started heading to the throne room with us following her.
"Tia." Luna says to get Celestia's attention.
"Yes Lulu?" Celestia asks.
"These ponies ask if you could help them find their friends." Luna says gesturing to me and Cheese Cake.
"I see. Well we could try the locator spell. Tell me your friends name." Celestia said with a smile.
"His name is Storms Melody, you highness." I said with a bow.
"Very well I shall try the spell now." Celestia says as her horn begins to glow. After a few seconds the glow fades into reality. "Your friend is taking a nap in Ponyville but something seems to be bothering him." Celestia said.
Cheese cake steps forward and asks the princesses "I have another request." Celestia now turns to look at him as he continues to say "I dont seem to remeber much after hitting my head, could you help me regain my memories." Celestia nodded and her horn started to glow again and touched Cheese Cake forehead and he fell unconscious.
"He will regain some memories but not all. His subconsciance does not want him to remember everything and the spell only works as far as his will lets it." Celestia says as she looks at Luna "Could you take these 2 at the entrance to Ponyville Lulu." Luna nods and her horn begins to glow.
"I'll see you guys there I have to talk to princess Celestia." Twilight says as she waves goodbye.
"Yeah hopefully we will have found our friends by then." I said while returning the wave. Then there was a bright flash followed by a sense of dizzyness. Then I blacked out.
A Simple Misunderstanding
-----Storms P.o.V-----
'I wonder where that mare went. Damn I can't even enjoy my short nap with this guilt on my mind.' I sat up and walked to the edge of the cloud. 'Maybe I should go apologize.' I spread my wings and start to glide down to the ground when I was tackled by a streak of rainbow. Pain shot through my entire body when I hit a tree. *Cough* Blood started to drip from mouth as I said "FUCK that hurts!"
"What did you do?!" An angry Rainbow Dash yelled as she pinned me to the ground. I gave her a confused look which made her even more mad so she hit me in the face. I pushed her off and started to run as fast as I could into a place I knew I shouldn't go. 'Damn why the Everfree.'
'I have to get away before she kills me.' I was running as fast as I could trying to jump over a tall flat rock but my back legs hit it and the rock snapped in half. There were words on it. 'Here lies Star Swift. A stallion who gave his life so others could live theres.' The howls of wolves interrupted me from reading long enough for me to remember that I had to run. I got up and bolted leaving the gravestone there on the ground. 'Sorry.'
I kept running for a hour until I was sure that Rainbow Dash stopped following me. I found a cave and decided to stay in it when I noticed It was getting dark. 'Well what a sorry situation you got yourself into.' I looked around but saw nopony around. "Who's there?" I asked while staring further into the cave. 'Well I'm Star Swift. You know, the dead pony you broke the gravestone to.'
I walked outside to make sure Rainbow Dash wasn't around. '
Well it doesn't seem she has found us yet, so mission successful.' "What do you mean we? Get the hell out of my head." 'That is no way to talk to your new roommate.' "Dah Fuck it isn't. Quite with the jokes and GTFO." 'Fine you little brat I'll leave.' "Good. Now to finish my nap."
I laid my head on a flat rock and let out a big yawn and started to slowly close my eyes. 'Come on. You didn't think it would be that easy Chris did you.' I shot straight up and said "What the HELL! Get ou... did you just call me Chris." 'Yes. Isn't that your name.' "Well yes but here I go by Storms Melody. How do you know my name." 'Easy question. I am in your head and have access to all your memories.' "Well thats just great so you know all about my world." I started to lay back down on my flat rock and let out another yawn. 'We can't stay here.' "Why not?"
After a 10 minute explanation I stood up and started to head back in the forest, it was really dark and a little scary. 'Well we should hurry or something might get you before you realize it.' "Then It would have been better to stay in the cave." 'Yes it would have, but what would the Rainbow Dash and that mare you have to apologize to think if you ran away.' "Damn. I didn't think about that." 'Onward to victory.' "Don't say that again." I then started to run through the forest as fast as I could so I wouldn't wind up a manticore's snack.
I kept running until I felt something get crushed under my hoof. I picked it up and saw it was the crackers I through off the cloud. 'Take them they might come in handy.' "Fucking wheat crackers never come in handy." As I was about to throw it my head started pulsing from a serious headache. "Ok I'll take them, just don't do that again." 'Good now that we got everything settled, MUSH!' I rolled my eyes and continued to run.
After another hour of running I was getting tired and needed to sleep. '
No time to rest just keep walking, just keep walking, what do you do you walk, walk.' "PLEASE just stop!" We made it to Ponyville and I see a purple unicorn, yellow earth pony, Rainbow Dash, and Twilight Sparkle walk up to me. 'Looks like you're going to get it.' "Will you just shut up!"
"Who are you talking to?" The purple unicorn stallion asked slightly confused.
'Tell them you're talking to star command, then spread your wings saying to infinity and beyond.' "One more Fucking Disney reference and I'm going back in the forest and we get mauled by a manticore together." 'Don't be like that. We never had entertainment like this here.' "Glad to know that my memories can provide fucking quality entertainment for you." I turn back to the four ponies standing in front of me with a look of surprise, confusion, and some fear. "What?"
"Are you alright?" Twilight asked me with worry in her voice.
"Yeah I'm fine. Except for the fact that Rainbow Dash assaulted me in which I ran away tripping over a gravestone and now got a dead pony named Star Swift talking in my head and traveled for 2 and a half hours through the Everfree forest trying not to get killed or trip over more gravestones. Tell me if I'm going to fast for you." I turned to the purple unicorn beside Twilight and throw the crackers at him and say "Thanks for the crackers, dick."
Chrome smiled and said "Well at least you're not dead." Cheese Cake and Chrome walked over and gave me a hug. '
Gay' 'Fuck you' He backed off and asked "Do you still know who we are?"
"Yeah your Chrome Lilac a.k.a. Justin and he's Cheese Cake a.k.a. Eddie." '
I'm bored' 'Shut the hell up!' 'But reunions are so boring' "Shut up now!" I said turning back to Chrome who was slowly backing away. I turned to Twilight and ask "Do you have any spells to get rid of being possessed by a annoying pony ghost." Twilight shook her head slowly also backing away. "Damn." 'Ha. It looks like you're stuck with me.' 'I hate you so much. I need a nap.' I slowly walk past everypony and walk up to Rainbow Dash.
"What do you want?" Rainbow dash asked with anger packed in every word.
"Why did you start attacking me for no reason?" 'Tell her what you were going to do.' She was about to say something but I put up a hoof to stop her. "I was on my way to apologize to a grey pegasus who I accidentally made cry until you attacked my and screwed that up. So why?"
She was stunned by what I had said to her. "What?" She asked slightly confused and worried.
"Earlier I flew up to a cloud after taking my friend to the hospital and saw her lying there looking at the clouds. I greeted her and she started to panic. I let out a small laugh because ... because.." I felt my face slightly heat up. '
Tell her the truth. lying won't help here.' I let out a sigh 'Star Swift was right I should just say it. It won't kill me.' "because I thought she was kind of cute running around all worried like." I said as Chrome and Cheese started to laughing.
"That just to grand. Our little Storm is growing up." Cheese said making my face heat up more. 'Pfft hahaha. That is hilarious. You have your first crush ... on a pony nonetheless.'
"Fuck you guys I'm going to go find a cloud to sleep on. I said as I flew off with what little energy I had left. '
You did the right thing Storms, and now you know the joy of having a crush.' ' Fuck you' I landed on a cloud near a big tree and was going to sleep. 'Tomorrow I got to find her to apologize.' Then I drifted to sleep.
-----Chrome's P.o.V-----
I woke up to find myself laying on a couch in what seems to be a library. I look around and see Cheese Cake sleeping in the chair next to me "How long have I been asleep?" I asked nopony in particular.
"Almost 5 hours." Twilight said as she walked down the stairs reading a book.
"Why are we in a library?" I asked her. I knew the answer, I just didn't want it to seem like I knew everything.
"Well this is my home and you and your friends are welcome to stay if you like. I have a guest bedroom that I never really use so your welcome to it, unless you like the couch." She said as she woke up Cheese Cake.
Cheese Cake let out a yawn then asked "So we met Twilight, when do we get to meet Pinkie and the others." Twilight just stared at Cheese Cake with a scary glare. 'Shit'
"How do you know about Pinkie and my friends?" Twilight asked as she shifted her gaze between me and Cheese Cake.
I let out a sigh and was about to answer her question until Rainbow Dash opened the door and walked up to us. "You won't believe this but the blue pegasus Derpy told us about ran into the Everfree forest. He should have just let me finish asking him what he did to make her cry." She said as she stopped in front of us.
"Did he have a dark gray hoodie?" Cheese Cake asked with worry in his voice. Rainbow Dash nodded. "Buck. Storms going to get killed." Cheese Cake jumped up and ran to the door. We followed until the treeline
"How long ago was it when he ran in there?" I asked now starting to pace back and forth.
Rainbow Dash let out a sigh and said "About a hour and half ago. I tried chasing after him for a hour but I heard the howls of Timberwolves and panicked. I then flew to Twilight's and now we're here."
"Fuck. We have to go get him." I said as I started to run to the forest. I was then encased by a violet aura which stopped me in my tracks.
"You can't go in there at night you'll be killed." Twilight said as she placed me next to Cheese Cake.
Cheese Cake sighed and asked "Please tell me again why did he run into the forest?"
Rainbow Dash nodded and explained "Derpy was crying and flew by me so I stopped her and asked what was wrong. She said a new blue pegasus laughed at her because she went wall eyed and it hurt her feelings so I took of to where she said he was and I saw him gliding down to the ground so I tackled him. I asked him what he did to her and he acted like he didn't do anything so I punched him and he threw me off of him and took off into the forest." Cheese Cake shook his head and I let out a sigh.
"So that idiot got in trouble and ran away instead of facing the problem." I said to summarized it. Rainbow Dash nodded and sat down to wait for Storms to come out. Everypony else did the same thing.
After 30 minutes we heard Storms yell "Please just stop!" and a blue pegasus came into the light. After Storms explained and left, Rainbow Dash sat there shocked at what Storms before he took off. Everyone just sat there save Cheese Cake who was still on the ground laughing.
"Well that was the last thing I was expecting. I never thought I would see him open up about having feelings for somepony else." I said as Cheese Cake stood up nodding at the statement.
"I know. He never showed love to anything but music." Cheese Cake said as he took a deep breath to calm himself before saying "He was always just loveless and always an asshole but fun to be around. I wonder how much he will change." It was my turn to nod at the statement.
"Well we should get back to the library, you still have to answer why you knew about my friends." Twilight said before walking to the library.
"Honestly who hasn't heard about the elements of harmony and how you defeated Discord." I somewhat lied to not have to tell them about how they were a cartoon where I'm from.
Twilight stopped and thought for a moment and said "Fine, but I still have doubts of that being the real truth." 'Yes, a some what success.' I smiled and followed her. Rainbow Dash shook out of her daze and followed but kept a distance from everyone. It was a quiet walk back.
When we got to the library a pink mare walk up and asked "Have you seen a blue pegasus with a hoodie around."
"Yeah he took of to find a cloud to sleep on. Who are you anyways?" Cheese Cake asked.
"Well my friend calls me Josh." Josh says as I burst into laughter. "Yeah I didn't think you would believe me." I was about to say something when Storms came out of nowhere and landed in the middle of us.
"God y'all are noisy, and Josh this is Justin." Storms said before walking up to Josh and saying "Rosea Flos."
"What?" Josh asked confused.
"Thats your *yawn* new name." Storms said before flapping his wings and going into a little hover. "I'm going to sleep and what I said in front of the forest stays in front of the forest, Got It." He said Staring at everypony with an icy glare. It made everypony shiver before we nodded. He smiled and flow of to his cloud.
Rainbow Dash was stealing a glance or two at Rosea and said "I have to go. Its going to rain tomorrow so stay inside." We nodded and Cheese Cake walked up and whispered something in her ear. She giggled and looked at me then Twilight who was heading inside. She then took off heading to a cloud in the distance.
"What was that about?" Rosea asked Cheese Cake as he walked by.
"I just evened the playing fields a little." Cheese Cake said as he walked through the doorway. Rosea just shrugged and followed.
Everypony was inside except me and Storms. "It going to rain!" I yelled at Storms hoping he could hear me.
"Don't care. I like the rain!" Storms yelled back.
I shrugged and went inside the Library. Cheese Cake was laying on the couch trying to go to sleep and Twilight was going up stairs and Rosea headed to the guest bedroom. I laid down on the floor when I heard lightning strike but it was different like the storm that brought us here. There was one more loud crackling boom and the sky lit up 3 different colors, red, purple, and yellow. I noticed the cloud Storms was resting on glow frightening red and turned to see Cheese Cake now consumed in a mist of dark purple. When the two colors faded Cheese Cake was gone and I noticed I had started to glow as bright as the sun. I shielded my eyes from the light.
"You can uncover your eyes Chrome. The light is gone now." A warm regal voice said. I took my arm away from my eyes.
'PRINCESS CELESTIA!!!'
Storms P.o.V
"Wellcome to Tartarus or in your case hell." A gruff echoing voice said.
"Who said that." A familiar voice said back. 'Is that Star Swift.' I slowly stood up and rubbed my eyes and looked to where the voice came from. There stood a yellow unicorn with and a blue and white mane with a shooting star for a cutie mark. 'Speaking of which.' I look at my cutie mark. A storm cloud with music symbols. 'Fitting'
"Who am I you ask? I am Hades, keeper of Tartarus." Hades said.
"Wait, Hades is a greek god from where I'm from. Are you the same Hades." I asked looking around. It surtanly looked like hell. A fire pit here, a fire pit there, enough lava to smoother out an entire planet.
"Yes I am. When Zues let me rule the underworld he didn't acount for other planets and dimensions and here me and you are." Hades said as a red dragon winged alicorn apeared in front of me and Swift with a grin that could make a dragon shiver.
"Why are we here Hades." I said with annoyance staining my voice.
"And why do I have a body, not that I'm not complaining." Swift added.
"We are in Tartarus and your dead so put two and two together and there you go. Now follow me if you will." Hades said walking down a path to a huge door outlined in skulls.
As we got close to the door a giant three headed dog jumped in front of us. Hades puts a hoof up and says "Hold Cerberus these are our guest. Well the blue one is at least." He put his hoof to his chin in a thinking and a grin came across his face. "You can play with the unicorn if you want, but be nice."
I looked at Swift, he was scared and looking for a place to hide. Cerberus walked forward growling at him. Swift slowly turned and ran yelling "BUUUCCCKKK!!!!" Cerberus began to ran after him.
"Well now that he's gone I can answer your question now. B" Hades walked to the door and opened it. "I did not bring you here, and I can not tell you who they are but they brought you here to help with this ." I walked through the door.
"What the hell?!"
Chrome's P.o.V
"Why am I here princess." I said as I bowed.
"Raise Chrome Lilac, you need not bow." Celestia said. I raised my head. She walked to a window that viewed the statue garden. "I am glad you came when you did." She said as she gestured me to look out the window. "All the gaurds were turned to stone and and are now gathering to seize the castle with the statues of the garden helping them."
"Is this why you summoned me princess?" I asked looking out the window then turning to her.
"I did not summon you. It was they who felt you needed to be here. They felt were it was needed and sent you there, and your two friends elsewhere" Celestia said as she smiled at me. 'They? I'll think about that later.'
"How did you know about Storms and Cheese Cake teleporting too?" I asked
"I felt three surges of magical energy over Ponyville." Celestia replied.
"Then where are they?" I asked.
"As I said, you were teleported where you were needed. They felt they were needed elsewere." Celestia said. 'Again with the They. Who are they?'
"How can I help? I dont know how to use magic to fight off the statues." I said.
"Well we dont need to fight them. I need you to go retreive an item for me." Celestia said as she grabed a map from a nearby table with her magic. "But let me warn you, this is nothing like the movies of your home world."
"Wait you know I'm a human?" I ask suddenly confused.
"Of course." Celestia answers.
"Can you please tell me how." I asked and her cheerful expression went grim.
"I am sorry but they wont let me?" Celestia said looking away.
"Okay, thats it. Who is this they you keep talking about?" I said with agitation in everyword.
She let out a sigh and said "I am not allowed to tell you. Just know that they are the reason you are here in Equestria."
"Thats impossible. Discord is the reason we are here." I said.
She shook her head. "Discord was following their orders."
I sighed. 'Well I'll never get any answers better to just help so I can go to sleep.' I walked up and took the map in my teeth. I nodded to her and she teleported me.
"Why a desert?"
Cheese Cake's P.o.V
"Why are rocks just floating around like gravity doesn't effect them?" I asked nopony in particular.
"Thats an easy one my dear boy. I got rid of the gravity, it's such a boring thing. Dont you agree?" A voice asked from behind me. I turn around and see Discord. 'I thought he was gone.' "I am very much here."
"Okay then why am I here?" I asked him.
"Why are you here?" He asked him self as he paced back and forth. "I know, your here for some chocolate milk." He made a glass of chocolate milk apear and handed it to me.
"Thanks." I took it and chuged it, before throwing the glass away. An explosion apeared where I threw the glass. 'Cool.'
"Indeed so. Want some more?" He asked I shook my head. "Oh well." He pulled a giant glass out and downed it. He threw the glass at a floating rock, and a blinding light apeared and the rock was gone.
"What happened to the rock?" I asked. He shrugged and floated into the air doing back strokes, I followed him until he stopped in front of a mirror.
"We're here." He said as all humour was gone from his voice.
"Here were exactly?" I asked.
"You are here to confront your past self." He said not removing his gaze from the mirror.
"Past self? I have always been a pony." I said with a shakey voice. He shook his head and pointed to the mirror. I gulped and walked in front of the mirror. "What is that?" I asked shocked at what I saw.
"That is what your true form is. Your species was known a human." He said with no hint of joking in his voice.
"That cant be true I would remember." I said as my whole body began to shake in fear. The creature in my reflection walked out of the mirror and held out it's hoof-thing. I lifted my trembling hoof and placed it on his and he shook it.
"Hi. My name is Eddie." The creature said.
After a long discussion I regained some memory. He said I would get it all back after a few years.
"It is time for me to go. Remember I am but a piece of your spirit, I am not going to be there when you need me." Eddie said as he stood up and walked to the mirror. He turned to me and put his hand to the ground and a bright light appeared. A little earth elemental was looking around and saw me. It try to make it's way to me but tripped on a rock. It rolled over and sat there. It looked sad. "This is the only thing I can give you. Take care of him so he can enjoy life, he's here to help you. Know this, he is the embodyment of your emotions. He feels what you feel, so for his sake, cheer up" With that Eddie walked into the mirror and was gone.
I walked over to the little guy he gave me a hug. It made me a little happy. I picked him up and placed him on my back and walked to Discord who was taking a nap. He woke up when I asked "Can you send me back to Twilights now." He nodded and I was engulfed in a bright light and landed in front of the library. The earth elemental was hugging my neck so I couldn't go to sleep so I just walked around town.
Chrome's P.o.V
"I've been walking for half an hour now and I sill cant find the ruins!" I yelled. "I dont see why she couldn't have just teleported me to the item....What the hell am I looking for anyways? I cant believe I forgot to ask and this map doesn't explain anything well." I just kept walking until I found a broken hut. There was noise coming from inside. "Hello?"
The noise stoped and a unicorn came out. He was wearing a outfit simalar to daring do. "Hello, what are you doing out in the desert? You dont seem like an explorer." He asked walking up to me.
"No. I'm on an errand for Princess Celestia. I'm looking for some sort of temple ruins." I said. He put his hoof to his chin.
"You mean the temple that holds the staff of Lapis contego?" He asked.
"The staff of what now?" I was confused now.
"The staff of a great unicorn who only used earth magic. He enchanted it to reverse any earth spell." He said in a 'matter of fact' tone.
"Yeah, thats it. You know were it is?" I ask excitedly. He nodded but didn't say anything. "Are you going to tell me?"
"No, But you can come with me. I was just going there." He said walking away. I shruged and followed.
We walked for twenty minutes and we stumbled on a pathway with a bunch of diferent tiles on the ground. "Well lets go." I steped on a tile that had a water symbol on it. It started shaking so I jumped off of it and it fell down a endless revine. "There's traps?"
"Well yeah. Did you think Lapis would leave a staff like that unprotected?" He said.
"No." I said. "So do we look for the symbol that represents earth or something?"
"What?" He asked.
"Well before I jumped of that stone I saw a symbol that looked like water." I said as I looked at all six tiles. "Here it is." I slowly steped on it. nothing happened. I looked back and saw the unicorn having a surprised look on his face. "Lets go." He nodded and followed.
After a short walk we came across a giant pit that had snakes at the bottom. "You got to be kidding me. Why snakes?" I said bacing away from the pit. "I cant do it. Theres no way I can make a jump like that."
"Well just teleport like I do." He said as he teleported.
"I dont know how to teleport." I said still backing away from the pit.
"Okay I'll teach you. Just concentrate were you want to be and imagan yourself being there." He said as I did as he said. I felt a rush of power surging through my horn. I felt my body move a little. I opened my eyes and I did it. "Good job, to continue on.
A lot of puzzles later we found the entrance to the temple. "Well here you are." He said as we stoped infront of a door. It had and riddle on it. 'A fucking riddle. Seriously.' We read the riddle
I am your greatest friend,
I love to play tricks on you,
I will never lie to you,
I am always there for you, but you could always lose me
What am I
"This is as far as I can help you, my time is running short." He said as used his magic to bring a little cloud down. He started to mold it.
"Who are you anyways?" I asked watching him play with the cloud.
He smiled and said "Your just asking me this? Do you really want to know who I am?" I nodded "Okay, my name is Justin and yes that is you. I am a part of your soul that came out when you needed me to." I stared at him in disbeleife. He put the cloud on the ground and used his magic on it. It turned into a small fluffy green spikey cat. "She is a cactus cat. She will help you when you need it." He put his hoof on my chest and said "By the way, the answer to the riddle is your mind."
He just disapeared after that. There were no dramatic fading or walk into nonexistance. Just gone, like he was never here in the first place. The only thing that showed he existed was the cat who was standing beside me.
The temple door opened and a stone staff was just sitting there. Picked it up and was instantly teleported back to Celestia. "Good your back. They are almost apon us. Give me the staff." She said. I nodded and gave her the staff, the cat was taking a nap in between us. Celestia imedeatly started to say weird words once I gave her the staff. It started to glow and the stone guards came into the door. A bright flash came from the staff and all the guards were now back to normal and sleeping like a rock.
"Thank you Chrome for your help. I am sure you wish to go back to Twilights and sleep." Celestia said with another bright flash I was in front of the couch. I laid down and saw my cat jump on me. 'Thank god the spikes are dull." With that I fell asleep.
Storms P.o.V
"Fuck. Why... *Caugh*... Why cant I hit you?!" I yelled.
"I told you no mortal can defeat me now give me back the amulet!" The voice said.
"Never! HADES CATCH!" I screamed.
"Wrong move." The voice said.
------ 10 minutes earlier ------
"What the hell?!" I yelled
"That is what why I need a favor. I need you to get my amulet of the Immortality but first we need to get my helmet of invisibility." Hades said as he pointed to a cave. wraths, demons, and golems were wrecking everything
"Why cant you go it get?" I asked.
"I can't because my brothers sealed it when I tried to take back what was mine." Hades said as he walked away.
"Why not get the amulet first?" I asked as we headed to the cave.
"The guardians of the amulet only allow to the strongest of Tartarus to wear it. Which is her. No amount of magic can be used to get the amulet either." He said pointing to a statue of the changeling queen Chrysalis.
"Why is she here?" I asked also pointing to the statue.
"The army she had was weak and hungry and the griffins saw it as a opertunity to attack. She winds up here and uses her magic to hypnotize everyone into helping her." Hades stopped in front of a cave. "This is as far as I can go. You need to get in and find the helmet." I started into the cave.
It was hard to see anything except what little light the entrance behind me provided. I kept going forward until I hit a wall. 'Ow. Why cant I see any thing I'm only ten feet from the entrance.' I turn back to see the entrance is gone. "Well fuck. I guess I'll follow the the wall."
I walked for five minutes before a light showed itself around the corner. "Finaly. I can get out of here." I ran up to light to see four doors in front of me. 'Huh. The left one.' I opened the left door and walked into it. and was brought back to the same room. 'Fuck. Middle left.' I walked in to a dark room with three helmets. 'I'll take all three.' I put one helmet on and the other two proped on my wings and ran out of the room.
I looked at the other two doors and went through the middle right. I appeared next to Hades. "Well done. now which helmet is it?" Hades asked. I gave a shrug.
"It's your helmet." I said taking off the one I had. "It's not this one." I threw the helmet into the lava and handed Hades the others.
"Now, to get the amulet off of Chrysalis's neck." Hades said sliding on a helmet then disapearing. "I'm going to need you to destract her long enough for me to take the amulet off." He said. I nodded and I went to the palace.
Once I got to the palace I was surrounded by five demons and two golems. "Shit." I mumbled looking for something to help fight. A sword was stuck in the ground. I ran to the sword but a demon jumped on me driving his teeth in my left wing. "Aaaaahhhhhh." I screamed as I bucked him with my hind legs. I looked at my wing and it was drenched in blood.
I tried to run to the sword again only to be stoped by a golem taking the sword and snaping it half and eating it. It started to make its way to me. I was to afraid to try and run, all I could do was slowly back away. It reached its arm and grabbed me. I tried to fight out but it would only strengthen its grip. It was getting hard to breath. It raised me and threw me into a wall.
*Crrraaaccckkk* "Aaarrrrggghhhh!" I screamed as I smashed against the wall with my injured wing. My wing was folding over my back in a disturbing manner. I stood up before and ran as another demon tried to jump on me. It barely missed me as it fell in the lava puddle. The area in a bloodcurdling scream of pain. I shivered at the site before me. As the other monsters were staring at amusement I ran away to the palace, adrenaline dulling the pain of my wing.
As I was running a heard loud roar that could only one creature. "A DRAGON?! YOU GOT TO BE KIDDING ME!" I screamed as I ran in fear, the adrenaline wearing of and my breathing became heavier. The dragon landed right in front of me .
"Stay were you stand and I will make it quick." The dragon said opening his mouth. A bright light was building up in his throat. I looked for something to hide behind. 'Nothing.' I readied myself.
*GRRRRRRRRR* I opened my eyes and saw Cerberus charging at the dragon. With a bright light, Star Swift teleported next to me and said "Hold on." With another bright flash we were in the palace. "We should be sa-what the hell happened to your wing?!" He said in a worried and desgusted tone.
"Dem..on bite... me and....go*Caugh*lem..threw me." I said. My breathing was getting heavier.
"A demon bit you? Their teeth are full of poison, you should be dead." He said as he went and got Hades. They stop as I walked to the throne room doors were Chrysalis probably was. "Stop you cant go in there."
I turned to Swift and said "I still have to act as a destraction so Hades can get his amulet back." Swift just stood there, looking at me like I was delusional. "Your not going to stop me Swift. I have to do this." I said. Swift was about to say something but Hades stopped him.
Hades walked up to me and said "We need to get that amulet, but if your going to be a burden stay here. Swift can take your place." I shook my head and walked to the door. I stopped in front of it and looked at Hades as he sliped on his helmet. He nodded then disapeared. I opened the door and walked in.
"So you finaly made it, did you. Well good for you but sadly you can't stay." Chrysalis said as she stood up and shut the doors behind me.
"Give... me the am....amulet." I said between breaths. She walked closer and Hades jumped out and snatched the amulet away from her but she bucked him and he let it go. I ran up and picked it up in my mouth.
Chrysalis ran up, slaming into side side and said "Give me the amulet."
I backed up and placed it under my good wing and said "NEVER!" I charged and tried to ram her but I went through her. I turned around and she bucked me into a statue. "Fuck. Why... *Caugh*... Why cant I hit you?!" I yelled. The Poison Is finaly reaching my heart. My eyelids were getting heavy and I was tired. I wanted to sleep. Just lay my head down and go to sleep
" No mortal can defeat me now give me back the amulet!" Chrysalis said.
"Never! HADES CATCH!" I screamed. He opened his wings and caught the amulet in the air and puting it on to keep it away from her.
"Wrong move." Chrysalis said. She used her magic and sent me flying into the air. I hit a bunch of stalagtites, most broke but some pierced into me sending an unbearable amount of pain through my body. I was then falling, my conscience was fading and the slam on the ground was the last I could handle. Every thing was black. 'I.. fin...ally get.. to..... sleep.'
Chrome's P.o.V
"Hey wake up." The voice said. I slowly opened my eyes and everything was to blurry to make out. I looked to were the voice came from and saw a blur of violet. I sat up on the couch and rubbed my eyes and let out a yawn.
"Good morning Twilight." I said as I stretched.
"Good morning. Your friend Rosea just told me about how your friend Storms left her in the hospital. She said she had to get a couple of shots, but is terrified of needles. By the way, do you know what the the flash of red light was outside?" Twilight asked as she pointed out the window. I nodded and got off the couch and walked to the door.
"The red light was probably Storms being teleported to were ever." I said as I shrugged opening the door. My cat ran up and hopped onto my back. 'D'awwww' Was all I could think as it curled into a little ball.
"What do you mean?" Twilight asked as she followed me out the door.
"Well last night me, Storms and Cheese Cake were teleported to random locations. I went to princess Celestia to help." I said. I stopped and put a hoof to my chin. "I wonder were Cheese Cake and Storms went."
"Well theres Cheese Cakes right there. Why dont we ask him." Twilight said as she smiled at me. I blushed a little, thankfully she didn't notice. We ran to Cheese Cake who was staring at a weird rock thing walking around.
"Hey Cheese Cake, whats that?" I asked pointing at the walking rock.
"It's an earth elemental." He said. He turned and saw I was with Twilight and said "Aww. Are both of you on a date." Twilight and I started to blush. Cheese Cake started to laugh as his little elemental turned yellow and fell to the floor rolling. 'Is it laughing besides that why did it change color."
"Why did it turn yellow?" Twilight asked.
"It feels the same emotion as me and desplayes them in color and motion. It's pretty cool." Cheese Cake answered.
"Were did you wind up after being teleported." I asked.
"I was with Discord and meet a part of my spirit who gave me him." He answered pointing to his elemental who was waving. I waved back and it pointed to my cat.
"You want to play with her?" I asked. The little elemental nodded it's head. I used my magic to levetate my cat to the ground. She stretched and pounced on the elemental. They were running around a tree after that.
"How did you know I was gone last night?" Cheese cake asked a little confused.
"You and Storm were consumed by light and disapeared then the same thing happened to me." I said. I looked at my cat and said "I also met part of my spirit. He gave me my cat." Cheese Cake just nodded and turned to Twilight.
"So did he ask you or the other way around." He asked Twilight who's blush got deeper. Cheese Cake started to laugh and his elemental fell to the ground and started to roll again.
"We are not on a date." Twilight said with anger.
"There y'all are Twi." A country voice said behind us. I turned around and saw Applejack walking up with Rarity and Rainbow Dash. "Rainbow here done told us about some new ponies here in Ponyville and said they would be with you." Applejack said as she turned to me and Cheese Cake. "Howdy. Mah names Applejack but y'all can call me AJ for short."
"Nice to meet you Appl- I mean AJ. My name is Chrome Lilac and this here is Cheese Cake." I said as I held a hoof up for a hoofshake.
AJ shook my hoof and then asked "What was it that ah heard about a date?" Twilight let out a irratated sigh and shook her head while Cheese Cake just started laughing again.
"By the way were is the blue pegasis?" Rainbow Dash asked. I shrugged as did Cheese Cake. I was starting to get worried. As if on cue the sky turned red and the ground started shake. A huge crack apeared. A red alicorn flew out and landed in front of us. The sky cleared and the earth returned to normal. Princess Celestia and Discord flashed in to see what was going on.
"Hades what are you doing out of Tartarus?" Celestia asked. Discord walked up and gave Hades a pat on the back. Hades hung his head low and walked up to me and Cheese Cake. 'Whats going on?'
"I have some bad news. Chris, or Storms as he liked to be called, is no longer here." Hades said.
"What does that mean?" I asked a little worried.
Hades turned to Celestia and Discord and said "It's about time you told them why they went to both of you." Discord and Celestia nodded their heads and walked to me and Cheese Cake.
"Hey tell me what you meant." I said a little more iratated. Cheese Cake put his hoof on my shoulder and shook his head.
"The reason you came to us is so you would meet you caretaker. I am your's Chrome Lilac and Discord is Cheese Cake's. We are here to make sure you don't let darkness consume who you are." Celestia said.
"Princess I do not understand." I asked a little confused.
"You two are the reincarnations of Pontos and Ouranos and Storms is Gaia's. Pontos was the god of the sea. He resides in you Chrome." Celestia said walking over to me. "The cat he gave to you is to act as your guardian and to protect you when you need her."
Discord walk over to Cheese Cake and said "Ouranos, the sky god, was a good friend of mine. He now resides in Cheese Cake here." He patted Cheese Cake on the back and pulled out a glass of chocolate milk. "Here you go." He handed the glass to Cheese Cake.
"Thanks." Cheese Cake said as he drank the milk and tossed the glass which exploded when it hit a tree. "So my elemental is my guardian?" Cheese Cake. Discord nodded.
"So Storms is... dead?" I asked Hades who slowly nodded. There was a long silence until I asked "How?"
Hades sighed and said "He was poisoned by a demon and his left wing was folded over his right. He was then thrown in the air by Chrysalis and impaled by stalagtites then fell from thirty feet in the air." Everyone was stunned and couldn't say anything.
Celestia walked over and patted him on his back. "It's okay." She said trying to console him.
"The weirdest part was that his body disapeared when I went to check on him after beating Chrysalis." Hades said. I got up and started to walk back to Twilight's tree. I could care less what else they said. Cheese Cake just followed.
After a hour Twilight and her friends walked in all looking down while me and Cheese Cake just sat there. "We are quite sorry for you loss darling. Is any thing we can do." Rarity asked worriedly. Me and Cheese Cake shook our heads. Our guardians walked up to us and sat there. Cheese Cake's elemental was a dark blue color and sat there looking down in sadness.
The girls said their goodbyes and left, I just went to sleep. Not much else to do.
----- 1 week later -----
I woke up just like I have been doing the last week. I got a job at a store called Quills and Sofas. I have been saving up for a house with four bedrooms and three bathrooms. I almost have enough thanks to the money Celestia gave me. Today was a day off and I decided that I should go back to earth and tell Storms family about what happened. I asked Celestia if it was possible and she nodded.
As I headed to the door Rosea and Cheese Cake were waiting for me outside. "What are the both of you doing out here?" I asked confused.
"You are going back to tell Chris's family aren't you?" Rosea asked. I nodded. "Well we're coming with you. I don't really like being around here by my self, everyone just keeps looking at me." She said. I just smiled and headed for the trainstation.
After a train ride and a walk through Canterlot we made it to the castle. The guards let us pass and we made our way to the throne room. We entered the room and Celestia stood up and walked to us.
"I assume you are ready?" Celestia asked as I nodded. Her horn started to glow and a yellow door apeared. "The door only works one way. If you go through it you can not come back." Celestia said. I was now worried. I didn't want to leave forever. I like it here. The door knob started to twist. Celestia looked confused.
The door opened and four new ponies walked through. One was a pegasus stallion. He was almost as tall as Big Macintosh. He was blue like Storms with a combed back mane, golden eyes and had a gold wing plate on the brim of both wings. He carried two guitars one acoustic the other electric. His cutie mark was two guitars crossed infront of a thunderbolt. He looked like a bigger version of Storms.
The next was a smaller red pegasus stallion with spikey hair, blue eyes and about the same size as Cheese Cake. He had a backpack on. He wore a confused look on his face. His cutie mark was a key blade over a crown.
Then walk out a light purple unicorn mare. Her mane was puffy like pinkies but shorter and had the same eye color as me. Her cutie mark is a half eaten cheese burger.
The last one to come out was a green earth stallion. He had a long mane and and brown eyes. He was a little bigger than the red stallion and wore glasses. His cutie mark was a scroll on fire.
The red stallion looked around and asked "Were am I?"
"In the princesses castle in Canterlot." The blue pegasus said. He looked at the princess and then at me, Cheese Cake, and Rosea and said "My little brother Chris would always watch it with his friends Justin and Eddie but you probably wont know anything about it seeing as your ponies and everything." As he said this I began to get scared.
The red stallion walked up to us and said "Well whatever my name is Donald. I was a friend of Eddie's."
"And I'm Shelby, Justin was my cousin." the unicorn said.
"I am Nachona." The green earth pony said.
"Princess why did it bring our friends and family here?" I said as I looked at the princess.
Shelby and Donald knew who I was just from my voice and ran up to hug me. I broke the hug by teleporting and pointed to the other two and said " The yellow pony is Eddie and the pink one is Josh." Donald just started laughing and Nachona ran up and hugged Rosea.
"Well were is Chris?" asked Donald. 'buck'
I let out a sigh and said "Chris is..... dead." Everypony stopped and looked at me wanting an explanation. I explained to them what happened. Chris's brother just stared out the window not moving. I looked to the princess and asked "Is there a way for you to just give us a house big enough to for all of us."
The Celestia nodded and said "By the time you get to Ponyville a house for each of you will have been built."
"Well I guess that could work but can I still tell Chris's family what happened?" I asked.
Celestia shook her head and said "Once the door has been used It will not open again. I am sorry."
"At least we told one of them." Cheese Cake said. I sighed and nodded. I stood up and gathered everypony and headed to the train.
Once we got back to Ponyville, Twilight was there to meet us. She had heard about all that happened from the princess. She showed us were our houses were and I went to bed when I got to mine.
----- 3 months later -----
*Knock Knock Knock* 'Damn it' I got out of bed and strecthed. I walked to the front door and opened it to see Cheese Cake. "Morning." He said.
"Morning." I said as I walked out the door. It was now winter, the cold air, the snow, the fact that tomorrow is Hearth's Warming Eve. 'I wonder if it's like Christmas.'
"So did you get Twilight something for Hearth's Warming Day?" Cheese Cake said as he hit my shoulder.
"Whats that suposed to mean?" I asked trying to ignore the question.
"Really." He said raising an eyebrow. "You two have been almost inseparable for the past three months. Are you seriously telling me your not together yet?" He asked faking a shocked look.
"Why do you say that kind of stuff everyday? I like just hanging out and being around her. Why would I want to ruin that?" I said irritated.
"Yeah right. You want to kiss her dont you?" He said with a wicked grin on his face and poking me in the chest.
"Your starting to act like Storms." I said. I let out a sigh and then said "If I ask her out will you leave me alone about the subject?" He nodded.
"I will promise NO pinkie promise that I will." Cheese Cake said giving a sarcastic salute.
"And if it goes bad you have to break your friendship with Pinkie Pie." I said.
He thought about it and said "Deal but only if you name one of the kids after me." He took off running after he said that. I was there shocked at what he said. After a good five minutes I decided to go ask out Twilight.
I was walking down the street and saw Storms's brother who goes by Lightnings Melody, or LM for short. Once we got back to Ponyville He go a job at Sweet Apple Acres. Him and Applejack got closer and closer till he asked her out. Storms would be happy for him.
After a short walk I reached Twilights tree. I walked up to the door and knocked. Twilight opened the door and smiled at me. "Well goodmorning Chrome." She said as she walked inside. I followed and sat at the table. I was nervous and she could tell. "Are you ok?" Twilight asked leaning in closer.
"I...I have something to tell you. I was wo...wondering if..if you would li.like t.t.to maybe go out with me." I said while my voice got quiter as i was sinking into my chair.
"What was that last part again?" She asked leaning in even closer.
I sighed. 'If I dont ask I never will.' I looked her in the eyes and asked "Would you go out with me." She had a shocked look on her face. 'Oh no. This is bad. She doesn't share the same feelings.' I was then tackled onto the ground. I closed my eyes ready to get slaped or something. Something wet fell on my face. I opened my eyes and saw she was crying. "Whats wrong Twil-" Was all I could say before her lips met mine. I was to shocked to kiss back.
When she broke the kiss she pulled me in for a tight hug. Her tears were soaking my coat. "I didn't think you would ever ask." She said. Her tight grip around me started to fade as she stopped hugging me and kissed me again, this time I didn't hesitate and kissed back.
"Awww. I wish I had a camera." A voice said from behind me. Twilight looked and had a face of confusion, fear, and relief.
I turned around shocked. One thing flooded my mind as I asked "How?"
"Awww. I wish I had a camera." A voice said from behind me. Twilight looked and had a face of confusion, fear, and joy.
I turned around shocked to see a tall white unicorn stallion wearing Canterlot guard armor standing in the door way. I quickly noticed he had a dark gray jacket with the name 'Chris' stitched on a sleeve on his back. One thing flooded my mind as I asked "How?"
"What are you doing here?" Twilight said as she jumped off me.
She cleared her throat while regaining her composure and said "Not that you not welcome here Shining."
"Well I am here to give this jacket to Storms brother and decided to stop by." He said as walked up and gave
Twilight a hug smiling. She returned it nervously. He broke the hug and turned to me and the smile faded a bit but was still noticable.
I stood up still staring at the jacket and asked "How do you have Storms jacket?"
Shining opened his mouth to talk but Twilight's tea keetle whisled. Her horn glowed and the keetle moved to the table. "Sorry." Twilight said with a small blush on her face.
Shining nodded and said"No problem Twiley. Want to introduce me to your colt-friend before I go."
Twilight blushed and said "His name is Chrome Lilac." She nudged me forward. I nervously held my hoof up.
He just stared at me then shook my hoof and said "My name is Shining Armor. I'm Twilights brother." My eyes widened a little in shock and fear. 'Oh crap.' He stopped shaking my hoof and pulled me toward the door.
"Were are you taking him?" Twilight asked in a worried tone.
"I decided I could use some help looking for Storms brother. I'm just going to borrow your colt-friend for a little bit." Shining said as he opened the door. I had was started to panic a little and Twilight must have noticed.
"Let me put up a few things up and I'll come with the both of you." She said. I felt a sense relief when she said that. I felt everything was going to be alright if she was there.
"No. Thats okay, he's more than enough help. See you later Twili." Shining said as he dragged me through the door using his magic to close it behind us. He picked me up using his magic and set me on my hooves. He gestured to follow using his hoof and started to walk. I looked back at the door wanting to go back inside. I sighed and followed Shining.
We walked around town in a awkward silence. Passing ponies looked at Shining and then at me. A slight crowd gathered around. 'Huh probably dont see many gaurds here.' I heard some soft wispering and tried to listen.
"Is he being arrested?"
"What do you think he's in trouble for?
"I heard one of his friends went missing a couple of months ago."
"Do you think he did something to them?"
That last comment cut deep. I knew it wasn't true but to think that others thought that it was my fault kind of hurt. I lowered my head. Shining noticed and turned to the crowed and said "My friend here is in no trouble. He is helping me find a pony."
The crowd looked at Shining for a moment. Some ponies had a face that said 'yeah right' and others just nodded. The crowd of ponies despersed. "Thank you." I said still looking down.
He looked at me and said "No problem Chrome." He started to walk again. "So." He started as he turned to me "You going to spend Hearth's Warming Day with Twilight?"
I was a little shocked at his question. "I..I don't know. I haven't given it much thought." I said a little nervously. Shining started to stare at me. "What?" I asked .
"Nothing. Just trying to see what Twiley see's in you." He said deciding he would never know.
"Why?" I said forgeting my nervousness.
"Well, Twilight was never the sort of pony to be into romance. I was just seeing what caught her heart." Shining explained.
"Well they were always together. Ah'm more surprised it took this long." A country voice came from behind us. Me and Shining turned to see AppleJack walking to us along with Lightnings.
"Are you Lightnings." Shining asked. Lightnings nodded. A light blue aura engulfed the jacket levitating it in front of Lightnings. "This was to be delivered to you." Shining said.
Lightnings examined the jacket and notice the name stiched on the sleeve. Lightnings smiled and stuffed the jacket under his right wing for safe keepings. He looked at Shinings and said "Thanks. It's good to know he's safe."
Me, Shining, and AppleJack looked at him questioningly. "What makes you say that he's okay?" I asked.
"I've known him longer than any of you." Lightnings said. He looked at his right wing and a warm smile grew on his face as he said "He's my little brother after all." Shining armor thought for a moment and nodded slowly.
"If y'all only needed to deliver this here jacket, why didn't y'all send it through the mail?" AppleJack asked Shining.
"Well" Shining started turning his attention to me rubbing the back of his neck then said "I got letters from Twilight and they were mostly about new friend. They went on and on about him. So I saw this as a opportunity to check it out."
"How did y'all get his jacket anyhow?" Applejack asked raising a good point.
"A unicorn named Star Swift came to the castle and gave it to the princess. He told us to deliver it to Chrome but when the princess told him about Lightnings, he said to give it to him instead and nopony else." Shining explained.
"Well I do have his memories so I know he would want me to give it to his brother." A voice said behind me causing me to jump with a yelp. I turned around and saw a yellow unicorn. He shivered and said "Can we go inside? It's kind of cold out here."
"Were did you come from?" I asked still a little startled.
"In good time. First I'm getting out of the snow." He said as we walked into Sugarcube Corner. A blur of pink went right threw the unicorn, to whom I believe is Star Swift, and rolled out the door.
Pinkie Pie ran back inside and stopped in front of him and yelled "No fair! Why do you get to be all not solid and stuff?!" She wave a hoof through him to prove her point.
Star Swift sighed and said "That's because I'm dead." We all looked at him in disbelief. He turned to us and asked "What?"
"How are we able to see you then?" I asked. He had a look of annoyance.
"Well aftee me and Storms trip to Tartarus, I got a unstable physical body." Star Swift said in a matter of fact tone.
"Unstable? What do you mean?" I asked.
"Well" Star Swift started as he walked to a table. "The further I get from Storms, the less solid my body gets then I could do this." He slid his hoof through the table a few times. "It's kind of like my spirit fused with his."
"Then why are you here and not with him?" Lightnings asked as he took a seat at the table.
"I wont be here for long. I came here to tell you that Storms is on his way. I would give him 2 hours give or take." Star Swift said as he started for the door and disapeared. The rest of us joined Lightnings at the table and sat in silence. Everypony besides Pinkie who was bouncing around the room.
"We have to through him the most super awesome best welcome to Ponyville party ever!" Pinkie exclaimed running into the back of Sugarcube Corner. Pinkie ran out to Lightnings and shot him with a barrage of questions. "What kind of cake does he like? What color ballons should I use? Mmfmfmmh-" Applejack covered Pinkie's mouth whit her hoof.
"If y'all are gonna throw him a party, ya might wanna get started." Applejack stated and pinkie just nodded. Lightnings kissed her on the for head and said "Thank you." Applejack blushed and said "I'll go and get the other girls to see it they want to help."
"That would be a super big help. I could have Twilight do the invitations and Rarity do the-" Pinkie said as she left listening range and went to the kitchen. Applejack walked out the door leaving me, Shining, and Lightnings.
"Well you must be happy to know your brothers coming in such a short notice of time." Shining said to Lightnings. Lightnings shrugged.
"He was always lucky when it came to him almost dying." Lightnings said. Shining was taken aback by this, I was a little surprised too. Lightnings noticed this and asked me "Has he never told you about what happened to him 6 years ago?" I shook my had no. "Huh." He said as he brought a hoof to his chin and scratched it. He procedded to walk out of the building leaving me and Shining wanting answers and ready for a story.
"Well?" Shining said as ran to cut Lightnings off from the door.
"What?" Lightnings asked confused. I couldn't tell if he was faking or was honestly confused.
"Are you going to tell us what happened?" I asked. I wanted to know.
"NO! " Lightnings yelled as he backed away. I flinched at this. I looked to Shining who was now more curious then ever. "If he hasn't told you then you dont need to know. To be honest I'm afraid of what he will do to me if he found out I was the one who told you." Me and Shining were now really confused.
"Why are you afraid of him? Your twice his size." I said.
"That is something you will have to see for youself." Lightnings said as he moved past shining only turning to say "I pray you dont." With that said he left leaving me alone with Shining once more. I let out a sigh. 'This is weird.'
"Lets go get your friend. If we go to him we could meet him half way and ask him ourselfs." Shining said. I nodded and followed. We walked out side and left the warm bakery and was it with a force of cold air. As we walked down the road to the entrance to town Shining Armor says "We should see if your friends want to come along."
"I dont see what harm they could do in coming." I looked down the road and saw Lightnings sitting under a tree, looking at the sky. I concentrated on the spot next to him and felt my horn get warm. The feeling stoped and I opened my eyes. I felt a little light headed.
"What. If this about his past I'm not telling and frankly I dont think he will either." Lightings said. He sounded a bit annoyed but it didnt bother me.
"No, me and shining were thinking about going to meet him and thought we might bring the others." I said. He looked at me for a second and looked back at the sky.
"Yeah, why not." He said as he stood up. "So who's all going?"
"Well, since the girls are staying it will be me, you, Shining, and the others guys." I said walking back to were Shining was standing.
"Does that include Josh." Lightnings said as he started to snicker. I rolled my eyes.
"I swear you and Storms share the same sense of humor." I said "His new name is Rosea and he is coming.... maybe."
"Does that mean I get to go?" A excited voice said from behind me. I didn't even have to turn around to know who it was.
"Yes Cheese Cake, you get to go to." I said.
"Well lets go meet the other at the front of town." Cheese Cake said as he started to bounce to his new destination.
"Wait, what? How do they know to go there." I was getting confused.
"Well I told them that you were going to gather everyone to meet Storms." He said matter of factly.
"How did you know that?" I asked raising a eyebrow.
"Know what?" Cheese cake asked tilting his head.
"That we were going to meet Storms." I said.
Cheese Cake gasped and said "I should bring cookies." He took off into Sugarcube Corner a second later.
"He so strange." Lightnings said.
"Who is?" Cheese Cake asked from behind us.
"How the...never mind lets just go." I said shaking my head.
We walked for a few minutes and saw that only one of them showed up. It was....uh...what's his name. 'Heat Wave." Right. Heat walked up to us and yawned. "Where are the others?" I asked
"Rosea had plans with Rainbow, your cousin doesn't now Storms well and said she could careless, and Rosea's ex was preaty much the same." Inferno said.
"Wait, Josh's ex?" I was confussed to say the least.
"Yeah they didn't stay together do to the fact that Rosea is still a guy and still likes girls and his ex found another mare. I think her name was Berry Punch." Inferno stated nodding his head as if conferming his thoughts. "So do you even know were we are headed to?"
"Uh..no. No we dont." I sat down trying to think.
"Isn't there some way to track him of something." Inferno said.
"I have been trying to learn new spells but I dont think I learned one for tracking." I turned to Shining. "How about you?"
"No. I mostly learned spells to imobalize and defensive spells." Shining said.
"Well its not like the answer is going to fall ou" Inferno was interuped by a flash of light and a worried yellow unicorn.
"Star Swift? What are you doi-" I started but was cut off by him teleporting us to some road. "Where are we?" I asked.
"About a mile down the road from Storms. He's in trouble, the poison in his system is reaching a limit to where my powers can't stop it. Follow this road and you will reach him." Star Swift said and disapeared right after the last word.
We just stood there processing what was just said when the realisation that we needed to hurry hit us like a train. We ran down the road as fast as we could. When we got there we saw a colt sized changling slapping Storms in the face. I was having a hard time trying not to laugh because it looked extremly funny. The changling turned its head to us and started to charge at us. Shinings horn lit up and a blast hit the little changling. Its body fell to the ground.
"I thought you only new defensive spells." I said.
"I didn't kill it, just put it to sleep. I will take it to Canterlot and turn it in. Think you can take him to Ponyvilles clinic on your own?" Shining asked lifting up the limp changling up with his magic.
"Yeah, but I have no idea were we are?" I said looking around taking in my soroundings.
"I do. It's about 4 miles away from Ponyville." Cheese Cake said pointing behind us to show the way back to town.
"How do you know that?" Inferno asked helping me put Storms on Lightnings back. Out the corner of my eye I see Shining teleport away with the changling.
"Know what?" Cheese Cake asked.
"The way back to town." Inferno said.
"Its says it right here on the map." Cheese Cakes said looking at a map in his hoof.
"Were did you get the map?" Lightnings asked.
"What map?" Cheese Cake asked looking confused. Lightnings was about to say some thing but I didn't want to bear this conversation so I teleported the 5 of us to the clinic. The nurse looked at us shocked then noticed the unconcious stallion on Lightnings back. She trotted up and examined him for a second and asked what happened. After we explained to the best of our knowledge about his condition she waved for Lightnings to follow her into the nearest room. He set Storms on the bed and was pushed out.
After a few hours it was starting to get late. Inferno said he had things to do tomorrow and to let him know if he wakes up. Cheese Cake left a hour ago to go eat cake or something. Me and Lightnings stayed in the waiting room. The nurse walked up to us and said "We got almost all the poison out of his system. The rest was to deep into his system to get and his wing has some nerve damage because of the poison and should heal in a week or two. Other than that there appears to be no long term damage." She looked at a clipboard and back at us smiling and continued "He will be awake in the morning, We gave him some medicine to dilute the poison but it also makes the patient really tired." Me and Lightnings nodded.
"Thank you nurse..." Lightnings started.
"Redheart." She said offering a nother smile.
"Thank you nurse Redheart and please watch over my brother. One of the things he hates most are hospitals." Lightnings said.
"Why's that." I asked.
"Something to do with everytime he went they had a new shot he had to take." He said laughing a little.
Nurse Redheart joined in and said "If only he know he had to get a shot to thin the poison." This added to the laughter.
"Well I'm going to see what Twilights up to." I said walking out. Lightnings followed me out and started for Sweet Apple Acres.
"Be careful! There supposed to be a snow storm tonight and it's supposed to be bad!" Nurse Redheart yelled.
"THANKS!" Me and Lightnings yelled in unison and went our separate ways.
After a minute or two of walking the wind started to pick up and it was getting colder so I started to run to get out of the cold. I reached the library in a little under five minutes of running. I knocked on the door and heard the voice of Twilight say "Give me a second." She opened the door and gave me a warm smile that could melt the snow that was gathering on me. "Come in Chrome and make yourself at home." I walked in and magicked the door closed behind me.
"Thanks." I said walking up to the couch and sitting down.
"What are you doing here so late. You know there is a storm coming right." Twilight explained.
"Well we didn't spend alot of time together on acount of you brother and besides how bad can one little snow storm be?" I asked.
10 minutes later
If I ever would regret opening my mouth now was the time. The snow storm easily matched catagory 3 hurricane back home. The wind was howling loud enough to drown out any wispering and soft talking. You couldn't see 5 feet in front of you, or is it hooves... I dont know but you get the picture. Any hope I had of going home was no lost. But I had to go home some how.
"You can just stay here tonight." Twilight suggested. I couldn't do that, it would be awkward. We just started to go out today. I have read story to know how nights like these could end up.
"I couldn't. I have to get home or else.." 'come on think of a good lie that wouldn't hurt her fellings' "Temperance will destroy the house." I said. 'nailed it.'
"Who's Temperance?" Twilight asked.
"My cat." I simply stated.
I walked to the door and readied myself for anything this weather threw at me. I opened the front door and was hit almost instantly with the freezing air. I take a look outside and see that the snow let up some leaving just strong wind. 'At least I can see...whats that.' I spotted a big mass flying dow the street at high speed. -MOO - Was..that.a...cow?.....Buck it I'm staying. I walk inside and lay on the couch and yawned.
"I'll stay here." I said as my body starts to lose feeling. Twilight just giggled and levitated a blanket to me and covered me up.
"Good. I can sleep easier knowing that my colt-friend is safe." She said in a playful manner. She kissed me on the cheek, blew out the candles and went up the stairs to her room. I vision slowly faded to black as my mind drifted to darkness.
