What You Wish For 3: The Book of Earth Pony

The sun finally poked over the mountaintops, pouring sunlight into the peaceful town of Ponyville. It was truly a magical thing to have had snow just a day ago but have summer weather the next, everypony had worked their flanks off to make it happen for Hearts and Hooves day.

Inside a small cottage, on the top of the hill, lied a peaceful couple who dreamt their dreams. The heat of the sun slowly seeping through the curtains and casting its warmth onto the face of the sleeping human and pony inside was like from a fairy tale (cause this is based on a true story).

As the sun reached his eyes, Alex peacefully brought himself back to reality and inhaled deeply. He slowly rolled over onto his side to find the yellow Pegasus curled up, he slowly wrapped his arm around her as he said, “Morning Fluttershy.”

Alex had to wait a few seconds before he heard the timid voice of Fluttershy say with a yawn, “Happy Hearts and Hooves day.”

Alex smiled innocently as he watched her roll over, her pink mane falling in front of her eyes only to be blown out of the way. The two stared into each other’s eyes for about a minute before Alex said while getting up, “I’ll make the coffee this morning.” Alex then got out of bed and headed down the stairs towards the kitchen, as he descended he watched as all her little creatures came out of their little homes to stretch and get ready for the day. Alex slowly slumped his way into the kitchen and began to make coffee, using his magic to help him out for the most of it. Once the coffee was done, Alex brought the two mugs upstairs to their room. He gently placed the bright pink mug on Fluttershy’s half before sitting down on his side and drinking from his mug.

As he drank his coffee, he watched as Ponyville sprang to life. He looked down to see Fluttershy taking a sip from hers as he said, “I’m going to be helping Spike with a few things today, how about you and your friends go to Canterlot to see that new Talent Show?”

Fluttershy smiled as she said with a giggle, “That would be lovely, but I want to spend this day with you.”

Alex kissed Fluttershy on the forehead, her soft pink hair tickling his nose as he said, “You’ll see me alright.” Alex looked down at his watch to see that it was almost eight in the morning, he quickly downed his burning hot coffee and got dressed as he said, “Anyways we’ll see each other tonight, here’s my Hero Discount card for some shopping you can do with your friends. If they ask for some ID just tell them that Alex doesn’t want a sad Fluttershy.”

Fluttershy looked at the small card, it seemed odd to her to find it in Equestria. As she held it in her hooves she said, “I still don’t get this whole card thing Lyra invented.”

Alex smiled as he said while putting on his dress coat, “Just don’t come home with anything too big. It has a limit you know.”

Fluttershy giggled as she said, “Alright, have fun with Spike.” Fluttershy then hugged and pecked Alex on the cheek before saying goodbye to all her little critters and leaving.

Once Alex had made sure that Fluttershy was out of hearing range, he looked over to the record player and flicked his wrist. As the needle fell onto the vinyl record he said to himself, “But first I need to get the wiggles out.” Alex then picked up a can of whipped cream and poured some onto his eyes and mouth as the music began to play. One thing you have to know about Alex by now is his love for this one song and a very specific dance he made to go along with it.

*****

Meanwhile, Mike was putting on his change of clothes as he said aloud, “Alright, I’m gonna be hangin’ with Alex and Spike today. We have a surprize for the six of you for tonight.”

Pinkie sprang out of bed, her pink mane flying everywhere as she said, “Oh boy I love surprizes I can’t wait to see it, can you give me a hint to what it might be? Please, please, please please?” By now Pinkie had her head nearly upside down as she smiled at her friend.

Mike laughed a bit as he said with a pat on her head, “I aint gonna tell you, girl. Now go meet up with Twilight and Rarity. I’ll see you tonight.” With that, Mike picked up Pinkie as though she were a small dog and carried her down the stairs out the front door. Mike gently rested her on the ground before closing the door behind him, he then waited at the window until she had gone out of hearing distance.

It was almost as though it had been waiting for the specific moment, because as soon as Mike assumed he was alone a voice began to ring in his head. It wasn’t one of a conscience but rather a telecommunication, the crackling and low quality of the sound made it difficult to understand. All mike could hear after a long painful beep was the voice saying, “Good… you still have the headset inside. I don’t have much time to explain so listen carefully.”

Before the voice could continue, Mike planted his two fingers on his temple as he spoke aloud, “The hell are you son?”

The grim voice sighed before saying, “If you didn’t get my last message I sent a couple of days ago I am going to say it again, be careful.”

Mike began to worry, he didn’t like these mysterious threats or warnings of things. Mike began to feel uncomfortable but did his best to keep strong as he said in a very stern voice, “As long as you tell me who the hell this is.”

All he heard next was fuzz coming from the other end of the line. Mike had dropped to his knees as the frequency of the fuzz was seriously hurting him; he gripped his head tightly as he kneeled in pain. Mike suddenly snapped out of it when the voice of a well-loved baker said, “You alright there?”

Mike slowly turned his head to see Mr. Cake looking down at him with a worried look; his eyes were scanning over and inspecting his body language. Mike slowly got back to his feet as he said, “No I’m fine, had a bit of jet lag or something.”

Mr. Cake slowly tilted his head as he said with a caring look in his eyes, “Pinkie told me about all the weird things you own, you know that girl is like a daughter to me and my wife. We practically raised her, we hope that you can keep her just as safe as we did.”

Mike nodded his head as he walked up the stairs while saying, “Don’t worry, I became a soldier to protect. It would be my honor to protect her.”

As Mike walked up the stairs to his room, Mrs. Cake walked out of the kitchen with the babies at her side. Mr. Cake turned to her as he said, “These poor humans don’t do so well living here. I have a feeling that this might be a different Hearts and Hooves day we won’t ever forget.”

Alex watched Spike wave goodbye to the girls as they headed off to Canterlot for a day of shopping, their saddlebags ready to be overstuffed while Alex’s Hero Discount card is ready to be abused. Once the girls had boarded the flying chariot and headed off to Canterlot, Spike turned to Alex as he said, “So what are we going to do to help me win Rarity’s heart?”

Alex sat down and began to think; he knew Rarity pretty well and had a basic idea on how to impress her. Alex began to grin as he said, “Rarity is a girl with high standards; she acts like a princess so she should be treated like one too.”

Spike looked at Alex oddly as he said with a confused tone, “What do you mean?”

Alex got up and grabbed a flower from Twilight’s vase as he said, “I’m saying that getting her a bouquet or some chocolates isn’t going to impress her. She puts a lot of effort into making her dresses and clothing for her friends, so why not put as much effort as possible into impressing her. She loves performances by the way so maybe we could put on a show for her.”

Spike immediately bounced in his seat as he said with glee, “Oh wow that would be perfect!”

Alex looked over to Mike as he said, “Hey you’re out of your chair. Good cause we’re going to need a third person for this.”

Mike shook his head in irritation, he was hearing that telecommunication once again saying, “Be careful and keep your eyes on the sky.”

Mike gave his head a shake before saying with a stutter, “Yeah… alright bro. Let’s do this.”

The airstrip was fairly crowded with advanced planes, three of them were heavily equipped with missiles while two had bombs and one looked to be made for radar. Kyle stood at the center of the runway; he was deep in thought as he watched a large crane drop a huge metal ring at the end of the airstrip. Two smaller trucks were carrying computers on their flatbeds as they drove towards the giant device, people were walking around it and inspecting it.

As Kyle stood there in thought, a man walked up behind him and said in a German accent, “Excuse me, Mr. Clyde?”

Kyle slowly turned around as he said, “Yes… did you call me Clyde?”

The small man nodded his head as he said, “That’s right; you are Kyle Clyde aren’t you? You escaped from Alcatraz a few years back.”

Kyle slowly approached the man as he said in a very calm tone, “You must be mistaken my name is”

The small young German raised his hand to stop him as he said, “Don’t bullshit me. I know who you are; I know what you have done.”

Kyle looked around, he didn’t see anyone else there but this man and him. He looked at the man’s suit to see a chest full of badges and ribbons, his hair was thinning and his face showed wrinkles from frowning. The small man stuck his hand out to shake as he said, “Albrecht… Albrecht Freud. I’m not going to arrest you because of the potential behind this project.”

Albrecht slowly turned around as he said, “I have always dreamt of going to another world to colonise it, for the good of the human race. This is a quantum leap in space and time travel alike; with this we could use other planet’s resources as energy and keep our people alive… we could even live on the other planets.”

Kyle turned to look at the giant machine as well as he said, “It’s not going to be that easy, on that planet lies intelligent life with a military and a government of its own.”

Albrecht smiled at the corner of his face as he said, “Maybe it was a good thing for me to become the one in command, ever since my superior died in that world at the hands of that boy. People like him piss me off, they are the ones who hate their own kind like hippies and vegetarians. I’m glad you suggested we use our new military equipment as well, I love a good fight every now and then.”

Kyle began to feel a pain in his stomach; something wasn’t right in this situation. He turned around and began to walk back towards the military outpost as he said, “I hope we win as well, with as few casualties as possible.”

As Kyle walked through the doors to the outpost, he found a woman with jet black hair waiting for him. She began to walk at his side as she said, “It’s a good thing humans are stupid, if I were him I would have turned you in. But seeing as I need you, I am going to keep you.”

Kyle shook his head as he said, “We have a few more months before we deploy. I hope we make it out of this alive.”

Meanwhile back in Ponyville, Alex along with Mike and Spike plopped themselves down on the benches and began to drink from their glasses of water. As they drank, they all wiped the sweat from their brows. Alex looked over at Mike as he said with a grin, “How does it feel to finally move your legs like that after a few days.”

Mike gave out a tired laugh as he said, “It was… different. Well we finally got it all set and ready, now to wait.”

Spike began to take sips from his water and turn it into steam as he said, “Doesn’t it seem kind of odd to suddenly do this in Twilight’s house?”

Alex looked over Mike towards the baby dragon as he said, “How so?”

Spike shrugged as he said, “Well it just seems like we put a lot of work into this. Wouldn’t you think that this deserves a bit more attention?”

Mike began to think about it, he quickly said, “Yeah Rarity seems like the kind of girl to wanna show off. But how would we get a crowd for her?”

Alex got up and began to walk around the room, he thought about the ideas they were throwing at him. He slowly approached the balcony window and looked out into the distance, hoping to find some inspiration for an idea. Suddenly an idea popped into his head as he looked at the castles, he had probably the best solution and said, “The question is not how we are going to get a crowd, but how are we going to get in.”

Spike tilted his head as he said, “What do you…” Spike’s eyes suddenly widened as he understood what Alex was talking about and said with a slacked jaw, “Oh.” Spike looked up at the bald man as he said, “Do you have to make your ideas confusing like that?”

Alex looked back down at the purple dragon and said with narrowing eyes, “It makes it more interesting. Let’s go!”

As Alex began to make his way towards the door, Mike had a confused look on his face as he said, “What are you doing?”

Alex ran out the door and into the warm afternoon heat as he said, “I’m getting us a ride to Canterlot.” Alex was soon out of view, for a few seconds there was peaceful silence but it was soon interrupted by a crashing of metal and soil. Mike and Spike rushed out of the house to see Alex inside a royal Canterlot carriage, there were no pegasi at the front but instead a large metal ball. Mike slowly walked out as Alex said with a wave, “No time to explain, get in the carriage.”

Spike rushed over to the carriage as he said with worry in his voice, “We have to hurry, it’s going to be dusk in a few hours.”

Alex nodded his head as the two others got into the golden cart, he quickly began to levitate the ball in front of him and make it pull them into the air. The cart suddenly jerked into motion and was soon flying above the houses of the peaceful village. As they flew, Alex began to peer over the edge to make sure there were no ascending pegasi. As he looked back up he saw a grey pegasus with a mailbag at her side sitting on the hood of the cart, her eyes were both focusing on Alex and Mike as she said, “Hi Alex!”

Alex smiled impatiently as he said, “Hi Derpy, we have to go so we can’t talk.”

Derpy smile brightly as she said, “Well I don’t have to go, I can talk to you.”

Alex looked down at her saddlebag as he said, “Sorry Derpy, we actually do have to go.” Alex then gently wrapped his arms around her and picked her up, he slowly walked towards the open back of the cart and let go of her. Alex and Mike watched as the grey pony fell through the clouds towards the ground while giggling, she waved goodbye to them as she plummeted towards the town.

Mike had a look of horror on his face, his eyes had widened with shock and his jaw was hanging low before he said, “You just threw her off the edge.”

Alex shook his head, he showed no signs of regret as he said, “Don’t worry, she can fly and even if she doesn’t she doesn’t know how to obey physics so she won’t be hurt.”

Mike looked over the edge again to see the grey pony flying below them before she veered off into another direction, he slowly returned to looking in the direction of the castle when the voice returned yet again saying in a slightly more worried tone, “I know I can’t hear you, but you can hear me and you can understand my instructions. Stay out of the sky; you’ll thank me tomorrow morning when you wake up alive.” The voice quickly disappeared followed by the buzzing before it slowly faded away as well.

Fluttershy sat next to Twilight and Rarity in the large theater, she watched in amusement as the performers did their acts. She was amused by some, impressed by others, she felt bad for some, and was shocked by a few odd ones. As she watched she leaned over and said to Twilight, “It sure is nice to see Trixie performing her magic once again; she seems to be happy with the reception she got.”

Twilight nodded her head as she whispered, “Maybe because this time she wasn’t talking down to us.” Twilight and Fluttershy then both giggled, the audience began to applaud for the last performers who seemed to have done a better job than most of the others.

Fluttershy leaned over to Rarity as she whispered, “Which one did you like so far?”

Rarity was quick to answer, she already knew which one she had liked as she whispered, “I for one loved the singer, it broke my heart to know such a great talent came from a colt with no family. What about you dear?”

Fluttershy blushed before saying with darting eyes, “I liked the violinist that played with Octavia, she certainly put a lot of care into her music and it really did sound calming.”

As the large crowd applauded, a pony walked out onto the stage as he said while speaking into the microphone, “Fillies and Gentlecolts, we have a very special performance coming up. This one is for a very special somepony in the crowd here.”

As the entire crowd looked around with smiling faces, all of them chiming in on a large, “Awww.” Rarity looked over to Fluttershy as she said with a giggle, “This should be interesting, I wonder who the special somepony is.”

Rarity looked back up to see a small purple dragon walk onto the stage, he slowly put on the microphone from the pony up there and said into it with a nervous voice, “Uh… hello.”

Rarity slowly began to sink into her chair as she said to herself, “Uh-Oh.” She noticed her friends looking towards her with smiling faces; she quickly put on a fake one to make them look back towards the stage in order for her to hide her face.

Spike began to walk in a pattern as he said with some stuttering, “This is… uhh… dedicated to a very… very special somepony in this crowd. If they know who they are could they please stand up?” Spike looked over the crowd to see none of the ponies standing up, he began to scratch at the back of his head as he said silently, “Of course.” Spike then closed his eyes as a thought ran through his head:

What a dope, who was I thinking to actually try and impress Rarity. She’s probably trying to sneak out right now after being embarrassed in front of her friends. Maybe I should just… No! I have to do this; this could be my last chance to tell her how I truly feel.

Spike took in a deep breath and began to speak a bit louder as he said, “Fine, Rarity could you please stand up?”

It took a few minutes, but Spike could see the white unicorn slowly rise above the crowd with an awkward and fake smile slapped on her face. Spike took in a shaky breath as he said, “Rarity… I want you to be my diamond forever. Will you be my special somepony?”

Rarity paused, her brow began to sweat as she said, “I… Uh…”

Spike watched as she began to close her eyes in regret, he knew what she was about to say and stuck his hand out and said with a grin, “Before you answer that, we might need a bit of seducing.” Spike slowly began to walk towards the rear of the stage as he said, “Boys… we’re going with plan B!”

Spike turned around to face the opposite side, his back facing the audience as the curtains slowly began to close. Rarity slowly descended in her seat as she whispered, “I hope I don’t sound mean but what in the hay was that all about?”

Pinkie Pie quickly grabbed Rarity by the face and turned her towards the stage as she said with excitement, “Look!”

Rarity watched in surprize as the curtains began to reopen, smoke began to pour out from the stage onto the crowd as one of Alex’s all-time favourite songs began to play. As the curtain raised above Spike’s head, he revealed his new coat that resembled Alex’s favorite white hoodie as well as baggy blue pants similar to the ones his human friend wears. Spike looked up at the crowd as he said, “Guys… let’s help change her mind!”

Alex and Mike slowly began to rise from under the stage, they were both wearing matching clothes to Spike as the headbanged to the music. Rarity watched in awe as she said, “Wow…”

Spike began to sing the intro lyrics while Mike and Alex continued to rise on their platforms. Spike finished off his lines with the iconic, “We gettin’ twenty percent cooler!”

It didn’t take long but Alex and Mike both jerked their heads up to reveal metallic faces, bright yellow and blue lights for their eyes began to light up as the two simultaneously said in robotic voices, “We gettin twenty percent cooler.”

As soon as the music kicked in, Alex and Mike began to do the robot on their platforms. The crowd began to go nuts over the performance, Rarity was smiling brightly as she watched Spike begin to rap for the first time ever.

As they performed , Mike began to hear the voice in his head once more. The voice sounded more urgent and worried as it said only two words before cutting off again, “Get down.”

At first Mike was too stunned to react, but the sound of a single Pony screaming allowed the entire production to stop. Mike, Alex, and Spike looked into the distance to see a large wall of energy tear open. They watched in horror as multiple planes came flying out, the planes immediately began to disperse and travel in separate directions.

Alex slowly stepped forward as he said, “Oh no…” He watched as one of the planes approached and began to spew balls of light that rapidly approached. Alex quickly realized that they were in fact missiles and shouted at the top of his lungs, “GET DOWN!”

The audience suddenly began to panic as the missiles hit buildings scattered across Canterlot, large explosions quickly tore the towers apart. The crowd began to panic as more blazing explosions tore around the stadium, the place suddenly beginning to tilt towards the edge of the cliff. Alex quickly remembered that all of Canterlot was rested on the side of a mountain and would crumble of the supports were destroyed. Mike shouted at the top of his lungs, “Everypony move NOW! Get to the other side of Canterlot!” Slowly the crowd began to shift towards the outside of the building, outrunning the gradual tilting of the stadium.

Alex watched as the plane made another turn around and began to head for Canterlot again, it began to fire off it’s mounted Gatling gun at Alex. He quickly put his hand up and began to deflect the bullets with a large invisible field, lighting up orange every time a bullet struck it. When the plane passed by, it launched a few more missiles at the castle towers and easily demolishing them.

Alex began to hear the alarms blaring throughout the city as he ran up to Mike and said, “We need to get all these ponies off of Canterlot, the whole place is coming down.” Alex looked down at the baby dragon, who had frozen in fear and said in an aggressive tone, “Spike, get out of here.”

Spike tried his best to speak but only managed to say, “But”

Alex shouted at the small dragon as he said, “I said get the hell out of here.”

Alex turned around to see the plane making another turn, he then looked down at Ponyville to see it being engulfed in thick black smoke. He slowly said, “We don’t have enough help on our side.” He then had an idea, he had not seen this man in a couple of weeks so it seemed necessary to get back at him anyways. Alex sucked in as much air as he could before shouting as loud as an explosion, “SLENDEERRMAAAANNNN!”

It only took less than a few seconds before a shaowy ball of fire and smoke fell from the sky and landed right in front of Alex and the others, throwing smoke in every direction. A very tall man with a very thin figure quickly emerged from it saying, “You called?”

Alex walked up to him and pointed towards the outside of the stage as he said, “John, we need as much help as we can get to make sure that every resident in this city is out before the entire place collapses. My hopes are that the princesses are safe so get to them and have them help you teleport all the ponies in Canterlot to outside Ponyville.”

The faceless creature nodded its head as it said in a calm tone, “Got it.” With that, the faceless man in the suit turned into a cloud of smoke and flew away.

Mike suddenly looked towards the collapsing side of the room to see a small pony screaming, “Mommy, mommy!”

Mike suddenly began to run as he said, “I’m coming lil’ guy!” But as he made no more than a few steps, the other half of the room began to slowly descend and break off. The loud noise of all the burning wood and breaking concrete was deafening, yet the screaming of the small pony was even louder. Mike watched in horror as the entire half had broken off and began to fall off of Canterlot, he had watched an innocent child fall to their death. Mike couldn’t accept it, he wasn’t going to fail today. Mike closed his eyes as he said, “You said I’m a pegasus.” Mike then jumped over the side for the falling room.

As Mike began to fall, he brought in his arms and stiffed his legs to allow him to fall faster. He slowly approached the room and began to pull himself closer to the foal using the chairs around him, as he approached he could see the look of gratitude in the small pony’s eyes. Mike quickly approached the pony and scooped him in his arms as the pony screamed.

Mike could see the ground rapidly approaching through the doors at the end of the room, the feeling of weightlessness was nauseating to him but did not stop his hunger for heroism. Mike quickly planted his feet on the seats under him and began to jump up, he slowly ascended the room by using the seats as a form of stairs and eventually had exited the room.

As Mike and the foal began to fall from the room, they watched as it crumpled into dust against the ground. The pony closed his eyes as he said to Mike, “Thank you, you’re my hero.”

Mike closed his eyes as well as he said, “I’m… a hero.” He could feel a small buzzing inside his stomach, a strong sense of power and energy had begun to form in him. He had discovered what had truly put his mind at peace, it was to be called a hero. He gently hugged the foal as he stuck out his legs, he could feel energy and heat coursing through his veins as they rapidly approached the ground as well as their untimely demise. What Mike felt was not the crushing sensation of impact, but rather something pulling at his shoulder blades. Mike could see a faint green light through his eyelids begin to glow around him, he slowly opened them to see his feet hovering right above the ground. He looked to see what was carrying him and nearly lost his balance when he saw a pair of green, glowing, wire mesh-like wings on his back.

Mike could feel the energy coursing through the wings; he could feel the wind against them. They felt alive as he brushed his hand against them; he looked down at the foal to see his eyes wide with awe. The foal smiled brightly as he said with joy, “You can fly?” Mike felt total control over his wings, it was almost as though he had known how to use them all his life. He extended his wings as far as they could go and watched as they stretched out ten feet in both directions, he slowly wound them up and got ready to thrust himself in the air. When mike jerked his wings down, he watched as him and the foal began to rocket into the air at breakneck speeds.

Mike continued to flap his wings as the foal screamed loudly, “You can fly!”

Mike smiled with joy as he rapidly approached the Cliffside city, travelling like a rocket and trailing green jets of flames under his feet.

Meanwhile, Alex knelt at the edge of the collapsed stadium as he cried softly to himself; he had just watched his friend die a hero in front of him. But as he cried, he began to hear the sound of a whistling bullet traveling towards him. A green glow began to appear under Alex as he looked over the edge, suddenly a green ball of light flew up to Alex’s level carrying the small foal in his arms. Alex smiled brightly as he said with joy, “You found your powers!”

Mike nodded his head as he said, “Yeah I did, now to test them out.”

Alex shook his head as he said, “You don’t know your powers yet, get as many ponies to Canterlot before this entire place collapses!” Suddenly another large explosion shook the ground as all of Canterlot began to tilt even more, large pieces of the castle slowly tumbled over the edge as burning houses toppled over in the distance. Alex watched as the plane began to make one last round towards Canterlot, beginning to fire its gatling guns at Alex. Alex quickly teleported onto the plane and threw the plane off course, his heart burning with hatred as he stared down at the pilot from the nose. Alex slowly knelt down and grabbed hold of the windshield and began to tug at it.

Alex quickly lifted the windshield and grabbed the pilot, he tugged at the pilot and pulled him from the seat and threw him over the edge before jumping in and closing the window behind him. When Alex got in he said to himself, “Nothing like Battlefield 3 at all, or any plane from my generation for that matter.” Alex looked down at the space where the controls were but only saw two blue touchpads with the outline of hands on them. Alex slowly put his hands in them and quickly began to spin the plane, using his thoughts to control the vessel. Assuming that everything worked through these pads, Alex quickly turned the plane around and began to follow the holographic images towards the other aircrafts. As he soared over Ponyville he could see no damage done to anything except for a small forest fire in the Everfree forest, everything else had remained intact.

As Alex approached one of the other planes he could hear through the intercom, “Holy hell, that kid’s flying the plane!”

Alex quickly did a barrel roll over the top of the plane and began to fire his Gatling gun at the aircraft, he watched one by one as he destroyed each and every plane that he came across. He looked towards the large ball of energy to see a plane pass through it, the wall of light slowly began to shut as Alex sped towards it. Alex quickly began to push up on the cockpit until he had broken off the glass; he then jumped off the plane just as it passed through the wall of energy and watched it close as he fell to the ground. Alex gently touched the ground, he had exhausted his powers completely. Alex looked up to see the castle begin to crumble in the distance, the buildings began to disappear in the thick black smoke.

Alex fell to his knees and began to tear up, he had watched the very symbol of freedom crumble before his eyes. As Alex began to cry aloud, a small buzzing noise came from his pocket, Alex quickly pulled out one of Lyra’s intercoms only to hear Lyra’s voice, she shouted in rage, “Those jerks destroyed Canterlot!”

Alex sniffed before saying in a shaky voice, “Fluttershy… Dashie… Rarity… Awesome Black guy, their all gone…”

Lyra paused for a couple of seconds before saying, “Wait… oh it was you that was in the plane. Everypony got out of there safely; hold on somepony wants to say something.”

A small shaky voice began to speak through the device, “Alex… sweetie? Is that you?”

Alex quickly jerked his head upright, not only did his quick thinking save everypony, but he was able to comfort his very special somepony. Alex began to feel joy in his heart as he said with a hopeful smile, “Oh Fluttershy… everything is going to be alright.”

Fluttershy sniffed as she said, “Something in Ponyville is on fire, I’m assuming the worst.”

Alex gently laughed as he said, “No, no, no, it was a small bit of the Everfree forest. Don’t worry the weather-masters have it under control.”

All Alex could hear was Fluttershy sighing with relief before handing it back to Lyra, Lyra waited a couple of seconds before saying, “Do you think we will make it out of this alive?”

Alex began to shake his head as he said in a dark tone, “No… we need to call in the big guns.”

Lyra didn’t take too long to respond, “You mean Pinkie?”

Alex sighed, he needed to get his anger out without taking it out on the ponies before saying, “No… Discord.”

WOAHAHAH
