As the spell was cast the wind begin to blow fierce they tried to escape but found they couldn’t move a Vortex opened above them and all six knights were sucked into Vortex as soon as they entered they Vortex closed and vanished. On that day, the war ended but no one knew what happened to Prince Brave Starr or the Royal Knights. The Royal Family as soon as they found out the news they grieved for the lost of the not only the prince but the Royal Knights. For Equestria had not only lost their Prince but also they had lost there Knights or So they though? Ponyville Many years later Ponyville Library As Twilight Sparkle was reading a book, the door to the library opened and in rushed the Cutie Mark Crusaders came in and all asked together. “Twilight We Need Help” Twilight put her book down and asked them “How can I Help you?” Applebloom answered quickly “We have tried everything to find are Cutie Marks there is nothing left to try” “We tried bowling, caddy making, helping out at the farm” Sweetie Belle. “Hair Dressing, Guessing games, zip ling, climbing mountains, Undersea Diving, even libertarians,” Scootaloo continued after Sweetie Belle. “But we haven’t got are cutie Marks” All three said at the same time together. Twilight Sparkle felt sorry for them she then had an idea “Why don’t you go visit Zecora maybe she can give you ideas to get your cutie mark?” All three young fillies’ smiled and rushed out of the library Scootaloo jumped on her scooter while Apple Bloom and Sweetie Belle jumped into the Red Wagon that was attached to the scooter and all three set off to Zecora’s house. As they Passed through the Everfree Forest Scootaloo stopped and sure another pathway “Hay did you know about these pathway?” asked Scootaloo to her friends. Both Sweetie Belle and Apple Bloom shock there heads from side to side then Applebloom had an idea “Why don’t we try to be Cutie Mark Crusaders Explorers?” Scootaloo agreed “Yea good idea Applebloom” Sweetie Belle was not sure “I don’t know we were supposed to head over to Zecora’s?” “Do you want to get your cutie mark or Not?” asked Scootaloo in annoyed voice. Sweetie Belle nodded and all three fillies’ went down the path they passed through think bushes and over dead tree branches until they arrived at a big clearing. Scootaloo stopped and got off her scooter while Applebloom and Sweetie Belle got out of the Wagon. “I’ve never seen this place before not even on Granny Smiths Map of Ponyville,” Said Applebloom with amazement. Sweetie Belle shouted, “We discovered something new maybe” All three looked at there flanks but for their disappointment nothing appeared on their flanks. “Well that was a waste of time,” said a sad Scootaloo Applebloom signed with sadness and said to her friend “come on let’s go to Zecora’s” As Sweetie Belle was about to say something when the wind begin to pick up hard and fast lighting appeared across the sky but the strange thing was there was not a storm cloud in the sky. All three huddled together when a vortex opened up right above them, six objects fell from inside the vortex onto the ground the wind, the lighting, and the vortex disappeared. The Cutie Mark Crusaders were scared stiff until they sure that they were six stallion’s each one wearing different types of armour. Sweetie Belle plucked up courage, slowly walked up to one of the stallions’, and tapped his helmet. As if by instant, his eyes shot open and looked straight at Sweetie Belle. Sweetie Belle Screamed and turned and ran so did Scootaloo and Apple Bloom but as they were still running they sure they were not getting anywhere. The looked and sure they were floating in mid air surrounded in a magical aura. They were borty back towards the stallion that Sweetie Belle woke up they were faced towards him and sure there reflection in his helmet he spoke one sentence to them. “Who Are You?” Chapter 2 Past and Present MeetThe Cutie Mark Crusaders were scared stiff they looked and sure the other five stallions getting up. One of the Pegasus said to his friends “Oh my Head I’ve haven’t had a bad headache like this since I crashed landed into the Gardens of the Palace and that was a crash landing” as he rubbed his head.

All the Knights Shouted, “YES SIR” “Ok Golden Hercules keeps these fillies safe and away from harm anyone comes near them you ground pound them away,” Brave Starr said to Golden Hercules.

As soon as he finished the doors exploded open Celestia looked and sure only outlines of Ponies due to the Big Clouds of Dust. “Identify your self’s?” shouted Celestia to the intruders. “You Changelings are no match for me or my knight’s now release the Royal family,” shouted Brave Starr Celestia did not back down “If you won’t surrender then you leave me no choose” Celestia sent out a magic beam of magic at them but a beam of magic came out off the cloud of dust as well and both hit each other and it was a stall mate both beams were as power as there users. Celestia could not believe she surprised and shocked by this there was no one as powerful as her or her sister Luna with magic beside her student Twilight Sparkle. Then a marble candy rolled near her, exploded, and covered her in smoke she couldn’t see and her concentration and her magic weakened she was knocked back by the force of the invaders magic and lay on the ground in a daze when she felt a hoof on her throat. “Now I’m going to ask you again where’s my” Brave Starr stopped looked at Princess Celestia and said to her. “Tia is that you?” said Brave Starr Celestia her eyes shout opened and looked at her attack and sure in his armour her older brother Brave Starr. “Brave Starr” Celestia said to Brave Starr Brave Starr took his hoof off her throat and backed away slowly as Celestia got up. “Is it really you?” Celestia asked Brave Starr “Tia it can’t be you can it?” said a confused Brave Starr “It really is Big Brother” Celestia said she was nearly in tears. Brave Starr took off his helmet off to get a better look at her he sure beside the different colours in her hair and tail it was indeed his little sister. “Knights stand down” Shouted Brave Starr to his Knights The Knight stopped what they were doing and each one removed there helmets. “Sonic Bolt, Golden Hercules, Beast Heart, Shuriken Wind, Surprise Shield you’re all here,” said a very happy Celestia. “Princess you were only a filly a month ago how can you have grown up so fast?” asked Shuriken Wind. Celestia was shocked and asked them “Who is the ruler of Equestria now?” The Knights were confused they looked at one another and Golden Hercules answered her. “Princess it is your father and mother who rule all over Equestria” Princess Celestia was shocked of the answer and said to them. “You all have been missing for many years,” said Celestia All were shocked Brave Starr asked her a very hard Question. “How long have we been gone for?” Chapter 3 A Banquet of Royalty and a Rose of Lost LoveThe Air in the Thrown room became very thin Golden Hercules, Sonic Bolt, Shuriken Wind, Surprise Shield, Beast Heart, and Brave Starr waited for Celestia answer. Celestia took a deep breath and told them the truth. “You all have been missing for over 1000 years” Brave Starr, Golden Hercules, Sonic Bolt, Shuriken Wind, Beast Heart, and Surprise Shield where shocked by Celestia answer. Sonic Bolt felt his very wings where cut off asked, “You mean are friends all are families there all” a very sad Sonic Bolt. Celestia nodded sadly all the knights sat down as the news sank in. Celestia felt sorry for them then as she walked over to them then she sure on Golden Hercules back was the Cutie Mark Crusaders. “What are the Cutie Mark Crusaders doing here?” Celestia Asked. Shuriken Wind snapped out of his dazes “We found these three Squires in the forest we came to bring them back to there Parents” Said Shuriken Wind to Celestia. Celestia spoke again, “I Know these three they are the Cutie Mark Crusaders there home is Ponyville” Shuriken Wind was confused Celestia walked over to the three sleeping filly’s her horn glowed as she cast a awaken spell on them and they started to wake up and were very confused. Applebloom shock her head and said “Were the hay are we y'all?” Scootaloo asked “Last time I checked we were in the Everfree Forest?” Sweetie Belle looked around “Now were” Sweetie Belle looked up and sure Princess Celestia Standing before them. All three Crusaders jumped off Golden Hercules back and bowed to Princess Celestia. “Rise my little filly’s I’m sorry that my older Brother and the Knight’s have brought you to Canterlot against your will” Celestia said to the Cutie Mark Crusaders. “Were in Canterlot” shouted Applebloom “Oh my sister is going to kill me,” said Sweet Belle “How did we get here so fast?” asked Scootaloo Then they stop asking questions as the sure the knights were no them self’s. Scootaloo asked Celestia “Are they ok?” Celestia sadly nodded “There fine just in shock at the moment” Brave Starr got up, turned to Celestia, and asked her “Can we rest please sister?” Celestia smiled “Of course my dear brother” Celestia called some of her castle-maids to lead the Knights and the Cutie Mark Crusaders so they could rest, as Brave Starr was about to follow the rest Celestia put her hoof on his shoulder and stopped him. “Come Brave Starr I will show you to your room” Celestia told him. Brave Starr nodded and Celestia showed Brave Starr to his room both were silent not one not one of them spoke a word to each other. The arrived at a double door with Brave Starr’s cutie mark on it Celestia opened the door with her magic as they entered he sure everything were it should be. “I’ve always keep it clean just in case you returned to us” Celestia said to him. Brave Starr took his helmet off and placed it on his bed he looked around his room then with out warning Celestia pulled him into a hug she begin to cry in his shoulder Brave Starr hugged and tried to comfort his now older little sister. “We all thought you died,” said an upset Celestia. Brave Starr hugged his sister and said to her “hay you know my motto United we stand” Celestia pulled out of the hug used her magic to whip her eyes with a hankie smiled and said “Now and Forever” Brave Starr and Celestia laugh a little then Princess Luna walked by and heard her sister laughing and sure she was inside Brave Starr’s Room she entered and said to her sister. “Sister why thou have you” Luna stopped speaking and sure standing in front off her sister was a pony she though had dead for many years. As Brave Starr stopped, laughing he looked behind Celestia he sure his other little sister Princess Luna. “Hay Little Luna been awhile hasn’t it?” asked Brave Starr. Luna’s eyes betrayed her as tears begin to well up she ran and delivered a bone crushing hug to her brother. “I’ve missed you so much Big Brother,” said teary eyed Luna. “I’ve missed you to I missed both of you” said a Brave Starr as he begin to cry. Celestia joined in the hug after many years the royal family was whole once again. Mean While back in Ponyville Twilight Sparkle, Apple Jack, Rainbow Dash, Rarity, Fluttershy, and Pinkie Pie arrived in the centre of Ponyville. Twilight asked her friends “any luck finding them?” Apple Jack said, “I’ve Search all over Sweet Apple Acres with Pinkie Pie and we didn’t find them” Rarity said, “Myself and Fluttershy search all over Ponyville and asked everyone but no one has seen them” Rainbow Dash said, “I did an air search and I couldn’t find them” “Any luck with Zecora in the Everfree Forest?” asked Rarity to Twilight Twilight shakes her head from side to side. “Twilight, Twilight” shouted Spike as he ran towards them. “Twilight you have a latter from Princess Celestia” said Spike who was out of breath.

Rarity was happy “Oh a ball I must get are Dress Ready I’m also glade Sweetie Belle is safe” Twilight was confused “Why would Princess Celestia hold a ball and let the Cutie Mark Crusader’s stay with her in Canterlot” Later that night in Canterlot Castile, it was Dinner Time.

Twilight Sparkle felt sorry for them she then had an idea “Why don’t you go visit Zecora maybe she can give you ideas to get your cutie mark?” All three young fillies’ smiled and rushed out of the library Scootaloo jumped on her scooter while Apple Bloom and Sweetie Belle jumped into the Red Wagon that was attached to the scooter and all three set off to Zecora’s house. As they Passed through the Everfree Forest Scootaloo stopped and sure another pathway “Hay did you know about these pathway?” asked Scootaloo to her friends.

Sweetie Belle nodded and all three fillies’ went down the path they passed through think bushes and over dead tree branches until they arrived at a big clearing. Scootaloo stopped and got off her scooter while Applebloom and Sweetie Belle got out of the Wagon. “I’ve never seen this place before not even on Granny Smiths Map of Ponyville,” Said Applebloom with amazement. Sweetie Belle shouted, “We discovered something new maybe” All three looked at there flanks but for their disappointment nothing appeared on their flanks. “Well that was a waste of time,” said a sad Scootaloo Applebloom signed with sadness and said to her friend “come on let’s go to Zecora’s” As Sweetie Belle was about to say something when the wind begin to pick up hard and fast lighting appeared across the sky but the strange thing was there was not a storm cloud in the sky. All three huddled together when a vortex opened up right above them, six objects fell from inside the vortex onto the ground the wind, the lighting, and the vortex disappeared. The Cutie Mark Crusaders were scared stiff until they sure that they were six stallion’s each one wearing different types of armour. Sweetie Belle plucked up courage, slowly walked up to one of the stallions’, and tapped his helmet. As if by instant, his eyes shot open and looked straight at Sweetie Belle. Sweetie Belle Screamed and turned and ran so did Scootaloo and Apple Bloom but as they were still running they sure they were not getting anywhere.

As soon as he finished the doors exploded open Celestia looked and sure only outlines of Ponies due to the Big Clouds of Dust. “Identify your self’s?” shouted Celestia to the intruders. “You Changelings are no match for me or my knight’s now release the Royal family,” shouted Brave Starr Celestia did not back down “If you won’t surrender then you leave me no choose” Celestia sent out a magic beam of magic at them but a beam of magic came out off the cloud of dust as well and both hit each other and it was a stall mate both beams were as power as there users. Celestia could not believe she surprised and shocked by this there was no one as powerful as her or her sister Luna with magic beside her student Twilight Sparkle. Then a marble candy rolled near her, exploded, and covered her in smoke she couldn’t see and her concentration and her magic weakened she was knocked back by the force of the invaders magic and lay on the ground in a daze when she felt a hoof on her throat. “Now I’m going to ask you again where’s my” Brave Starr stopped looked at Princess Celestia and said to her. “Tia is that you?” said Brave Starr Celestia her eyes shout opened and looked at her attack and sure in his armour her older brother Brave Starr. “Brave Starr” Celestia said to Brave Starr Brave Starr took his hoof off her throat and backed away slowly as Celestia got up. “Is it really you?” Celestia asked Brave Starr “Tia it can’t be you can it?” said a confused Brave Starr “It really is Big Brother” Celestia said she was nearly in tears. Brave Starr took off his helmet off to get a better look at her he sure beside the different colours in her hair and tail it was indeed his little sister. “Knights stand down” Shouted Brave Starr to his Knights The Knight stopped what they were doing and each one removed there helmets. “Sonic Bolt, Golden Hercules, Beast Heart, Shuriken Wind, Surprise Shield you’re all here,” said a very happy Celestia. “Princess you were only a filly a month ago how can you have grown up so fast?” asked Shuriken Wind. Celestia was shocked and asked them “Who is the ruler of Equestria now?” The Knights were confused they looked at one another and Golden Hercules answered her. “Princess it is your father and mother who rule all over Equestria” Princess Celestia was shocked of the answer and said to them. “You all have been missing for many years,” said Celestia All were shocked Brave Starr asked her a very hard Question. “How long have we been gone for?”

Celestia took a deep breath and told them the truth. “You all have been missing for over 1000 years” Brave Starr, Golden Hercules, Sonic Bolt, Shuriken Wind, Beast Heart, and Surprise Shield where shocked by Celestia answer. Sonic Bolt felt his very wings where cut off asked, “You mean are friends all are families there all” a very sad Sonic Bolt. Celestia nodded sadly all the knights sat down as the news sank in. Celestia felt sorry for them then as she walked over to them then she sure on Golden Hercules back was the Cutie Mark Crusaders. “What are the Cutie Mark Crusaders doing here?” Celestia Asked. Shuriken Wind snapped out of his dazes “We found these three Squires in the forest we came to bring them back to there Parents” Said Shuriken Wind to Celestia. Celestia spoke again, “I Know these three they are the Cutie Mark Crusaders there home is Ponyville” Shuriken Wind was confused Celestia walked over to the three sleeping filly’s her horn glowed as she cast a awaken spell on them and they started to wake up and were very confused. Applebloom shock her head and said “Were the hay are we y'all?” Scootaloo asked “Last time I checked we were in the Everfree Forest?” Sweetie Belle looked around “Now were” Sweetie Belle looked up and sure Princess Celestia Standing before them. All three Crusaders jumped off Golden Hercules back and bowed to Princess Celestia. “Rise my little filly’s I’m sorry that my older Brother and the Knight’s have brought you to Canterlot against your will” Celestia said to the Cutie Mark Crusaders. “Were in Canterlot” shouted Applebloom “Oh my sister is going to kill me,” said Sweet Belle “How did we get here so fast?” asked Scootaloo Then they stop asking questions as the sure the knights were no them self’s. Scootaloo asked Celestia “Are they ok?” Celestia sadly nodded “There fine just in shock at the moment” Brave Starr got up, turned to Celestia, and asked her “Can we rest please sister?” Celestia smiled “Of course my dear brother” Celestia called some of her castle-maids to lead the Knights and the Cutie Mark Crusaders so they could rest, as Brave Starr was about to follow the rest Celestia put her hoof on his shoulder and stopped him. “Come Brave Starr I will show you to your room” Celestia told him. Brave Starr nodded and Celestia showed Brave Starr to his room both were silent not one not one of them spoke a word to each other. The arrived at a double door with Brave Starr’s cutie mark on it Celestia opened the door with her magic as they entered he sure everything were it should be. “I’ve always keep it clean just in case you returned to us” Celestia said to him. Brave Starr took his helmet off and placed it on his bed he looked around his room then with out warning Celestia pulled him into a hug she begin to cry in his shoulder Brave Starr hugged and tried to comfort his now older little sister. “We all thought you died,” said an upset Celestia. Brave Starr hugged his sister and said to her “hay you know my motto United we stand” Celestia pulled out of the hug used her magic to whip her eyes with a hankie smiled and said “Now and Forever” Brave Starr and Celestia laugh a little then Princess Luna walked by and heard her sister laughing and sure she was inside Brave Starr’s Room she entered and said to her sister. “Sister why thou have you” Luna stopped speaking and sure standing in front off her sister was a pony she though had dead for many years. As Brave Starr stopped, laughing he looked behind Celestia he sure his other little sister Princess Luna. “Hay Little Luna been awhile hasn’t it?” asked Brave Starr. Luna’s eyes betrayed her as tears begin to well up she ran and delivered a bone crushing hug to her brother. “I’ve missed you so much Big Brother,” said teary eyed Luna. “I’ve missed you to I missed both of you” said a Brave Starr as he begin to cry. Celestia joined in the hug after many years the royal family was whole once again. Mean While back in Ponyville Twilight Sparkle, Apple Jack, Rainbow Dash, Rarity, Fluttershy, and Pinkie Pie arrived in the centre of Ponyville. Twilight asked her friends “any luck finding them?” Apple Jack said, “I’ve Search all over Sweet Apple Acres with Pinkie Pie and we didn’t find them” Rarity said, “Myself and Fluttershy search all over Ponyville and asked everyone but no one has seen them” Rainbow Dash said, “I did an air search and I couldn’t find them” “Any luck with Zecora in the Everfree Forest?” asked Rarity to Twilight Twilight shakes her head from side to side. “Twilight, Twilight” shouted Spike as he ran towards them. “Twilight you have a latter from Princess Celestia” said Spike who was out of breath.

Sweetie belle nodded “Yea I remember my first night in this Palace was scared as well” said Brave Starr. He sat and thought then an idea come into his head “I know what why don’t I sing you a lullaby that I used to sing to my sister’s when they were fillies?” Brave Starr asked her.

Luna nodded and smiled “Come big brother, sister let’s got to are own bed chambers” as Celestia and Luna begin to make there way to there bed chambers Brave Starr didn’t move “Wait sister’s I put off the question all day” Celestia and Luna stopped and both knew what his Question was going to be. Brave Starr took a deep breath and asked them “Where is Rose Petal?” “Follow us please,” asked Celestia. As Celestia and Luna lead their brother, Brave Starr out of the Palace into the Royal Gardens as they walked Brave Star sure loads of beautiful Rose bushes each one different some were Red, White, and Yellow. As he continued to follow them they came to a fountain Celestia and Luna parted ways and let Brave Starr though as hr passed them he sire a statue of Rose Petal. He looked down and sure a tablet it said “The Rose Garden of Rose Petal The greatest Foal Sitter in Equestria Rest in Piece” Brave Starr sat down after he read the tablet tears fall from his eyes his sister each put a wing around there depressed brother. “Did she have a good life?” asked Brave Starr. Both sister nodded “Yes she had a great life” said Celestia. “After you all diapered she counted with her duties but she planted a Rose bush every year the day you left she planted a Rose Bush and she waited and grew older and older but we looked after her till it was her time,” said Luna. “I shouldn’t have gone on that mission,” said a sad Brave Starr. “Listen to me Brave Starr after the battle with King of the Changelings all the Changelings retreated, you and you’re Knights save all the Lands of Equestria,” said Celestia in a serious voice. Brave Starr nodded. “Myself and Luna both knew if she was alive now I know she would be very proud” said Celestia. Brave Starr got up whipped his tears away “as long as she was safe that all that maters”. As his sister took both their wings of him, he gave Rose Petal grave a salute for respect and so did Celestia and Luna. After that, all three left and retired to their bed Chambers. As he entered his bed, Chambers Philomena flew though the window and landed on her old perch Brave Starr walked over to her and started to stroke her head. “Guess you were right about us being gone for so long huh” said Brave Starr to Philomena. “Oh yes you took the latter to father didn’t you?” asked Brave Starr. Philomena nodded. “Well my pet it’s time to sleep now you go back to Celestia room you’re hers now ok” said Brave Starr. Philomena shock her head and flew into her old birdcage. Brave Starr knew she would not go so he let her have her way for tonight at lest he got into his bed and started to fall asleep.
