Equestria High

Just for a reminder all ponies are currently able to stand on hind hooves as if they were feet. Also Kormet.

As Mari and I followed behind Rainbow, Vine, and that mystery pony I started to fell my wings getting tired so Mari invited me to sit with her of her robot. Surprisingly the robot may be small but it's strong enough to carry the bot of us. I had a brilliant idea that could slow down Rainbow.

"Wait... Mari could you do that ice thing again and freeze them?"

Mari shook her head and looked at the three ponies we were following. "They are to far ahead of us, the chances of it hitting is only 6%. Besides it's getting dark out and it would be the correct option to find shelter for the night."

I took a look at the finally setting sun and then at the ever shrinking ponies ahead of us, I glanced back at Mari. "Are you sure you're not an android?"

"I am 100% pony and not mechanized in any type of way."

"Alright... So were are we gonna sleep for the night? All I see is a bunch of forest everywhere and that lake."

"We should be near the great city of Kanavan."

My stomach growled as loudly as it could to tell me that it was empty. "I hope they have food there."

"Kanavan has some of the best restaurants in all the land, perhaps we could go to one later and I could show around Kanavan."

"That sounds like a good idea."

Kormet slowly descended into the center of a busy city dropping me and Mari off next to a fountain of a 3 mares, the first pony was wielding a sword, the seconded was holding a bow and arrow, I wonder how they could even use it, and the last pony had a magic wand. The town was bustling with ponies all of them carrying different weapons and some of them were carrying the same book and hammer Mari did. There were shops everywhere ranging from simple shops that sold food and other basic things for living, and then there were a lot more shops that sold armor, weapons, accessories, and a shop called 'Academy'.

"This place is awesome, I wish Ponyville was more like this." I was walking in circle looking at all the ponies and shops trying to take in as much of the scenery as possible.

"Yes, Kanavan is a glorious city, so where do you wish to go first?" Mari said as she readjusted her glasses.

It was then that I noticed that Mari's eyes were 2 different colors, one was red and the other was blue, it actually made Mari look really cute and I could fell my face starting to heat up. Good thing I have a black coat or it would as plain as day.

"Dark... are you not hungry anymore?"

"Uh... y-yeah, food, lets go and get something to eat."

"I know of a very good restaurant, and if we are lucky we will run into your friends while we are here."

"Personally Mari, I really don't want to run into Chaos or Vine while we're here."

Mari began led me through the town to a restaurant that was directly next to a Knight Academy, several of the newbies were out training each of them had a sword similar to Ronan's.

"Hey Mari what are those ponies training for?"

"Those ponies are training to become Spell Knights like Ronan, this city also has Academies for becoming Fighter's like Jin, Gladiators like Sieghart, and basic Knights like Elesis."

"So where did you train at?"

"Kounat."

Back to what's important... The restaurant, it was classy and expensive looking. Why it's located next to this academy must have just been bad luck or something. As we approached the door I took in just how expensive this restaurant is, the building looked like it was made of diamonds, there were gold columns at each corner holding it up and the window frames were also made of gold. The door was white and had a red jewels all around its outline. We entered the restaurant there was a stallion standing by a podium with his eyes closed, he was trying to be as uptight as possible. I could almost see the stick that was being shoved up his flank. Sure enough I won't have any bits left after this.

"How may I help you?" The stallion ask without ever opening his eyes.

"Table for 2, a window seat would be most appreciated." Said Mari

"Is that you Lady Mari!?" The stallions eyes opened wide to identify the source of the voice. "It is you! Oh it's such a pleasure to have you dine at our restaurant again, and I see you brought your Colt friend with you."

"He's not my Colt frie-"

"Let me get you two a seat right away and don't worry about paying, you can order anything you like it's on the house. Especially for a guest of such high importance!"

The stallion basically pushed me and Mari to a table by the window, he dropped 2 menus down and ushered over one of the waiters who came by as quick as my lightning. The waiter held a notepad and quill with his magic ready to take our orders.

"Please order anything you wish." Mr. Stick in flank said with a smile that seemed forced.

I picked up the menu and went through the list for anything that sounded good trying my hardest to ignore the stares we were getting from all the other ponies. Some were good, some were of jealousy, and most were death stares from Stallions that were jealous.

"I... I guess I'll have the hay steak,well done." I said as I handed the menu back to the waiter.

"I'll have the Fleischkuchla and for dessert we'll have the Madeira cake." Mari handed the menu back to the waiter as he finished writing down or order before zipping off to the kitchen.

Mari and sat at our table waiting for our orders, the sun was setting and everything was being covered in the orange light. The light came in through the window and, I'm not gonna lie, it made Mai look beautiful. But I already had a pony that I wanted, and when we catch her tomorrow I'll make sure she's mine.

On another side of town Rainbow, Vine, and still mystery pony have arrived in town

"Are you sure you saw them come down here?" Rainbow said looking around searching for Dark and Mari.

"The plants don't lie, Dark and that other pony came down and went into one of the buildings around here." Vine said as several flowers started to bloom in a circle around her. "Did you see where they went Ley?"

"Of course I did, while your feeble plants are good enough to accomplish absolutely nothing, my little Mary always finds his target." Resting on top of Ley's head was a small dog with horns and a huge head. "Okay Mary go find that whore Mari and her friend." Mary jumps to the ground and begins to sniff at the ground following a trail only he can see.

As the three began to follow the dog Vine got on Ley's side to tell her something privately. "I may agreed to help you find this Dio pony but if you ever say anything like that about my plants again I'll shove a cactus so far up your flank you'll be shitting thorns for a year."

And at the entrance (which no other pony that recently entered the city used) Chaos, Ronan, and Zero arrived

"So this Kanavan." Chaos said looking around.

"This is Kanavan, the city which I trained at to become not only a Spell Knight but also a Dragon Knight, Aegis Knight and an Abyss Knight."

"Gran says he can sense your friend Dark in the city as well as other new energies around."

"Well with the sudden reappearance of Shade and Shine we wont have a problem taking them out this time. By the way where did you guys get sent of to?"

["Well I was sent off to some fighting game where these 2 ponies challenged me to a fight. The first pony was white and wore a red head band and kept shoot energy balls at me. The second pony was red and kept uppercutting me and every time he did flames came out of is hoof."]

<"I got sent to a Mare-O Kart and got to met everypony and race and get this awesome trophy but then Bowser came and stole it and we all raced him to get it back but then he went to rainbow road and it was awesome and the karts had radios so I played the rainbow road song and I got an item box...">

["Shine."]

<"And it had a mushroom and I used it and went super fast like, VROOOOOOOOOM and then Bowser got one and it had a green shell...">

["Shine that's enough."]

<"And he through it at me but I swerved out the way and picked up a star and-">

["SHINE WE GET IT SHUT THE HELL UP!"]

"Do you deal with them everyday?" Ronan asked as he backed away slightly

"Sadly, yes. But enough of asking about my problems, Zero can you lead us to Dark?"

"Just follow me." Zero walked in front and Chaos and Ronan followed behind

Back at the restaurant Dark and Mari were just finishing up their dessert

"This cake is delicious Mari!" I was a few bites from being finished but this cake was so good I never wanted it finish.

"Yes, this actually my favorite cake and I was hopping you would enjoy it as much as I do."

"Well you were right Mari I do enjoy this cake." I took the last bite and savored the taste with closed eyes and big smile, I could fell chocolate on my muzzle but I couldn't care less at the moment. I swallowed my last bite and opened my eyes to see Mari staring at me with a hoof under her chin and a small smile on her face, the sun was almost completely gone so we decided it was time to find a hotel to stay at for the night.

As we left the restaurant there were only a few ponies still out and they all seemed like they were heading home. Shop owners closed and locked the doors to there business and guards began to patrol the streets.

"So Mari is there any hotels around?"

"I have a particular one in mind that would be most relaxing and rejuvenating for the body, but there is something I need to do first."

"Alright let's take care of it so we can get some sleep."

Mari was in front and with a quick turn on her hooves she was now face to face with me, I didn't have time to ask or react to what just happened. Mari had pressed her lips up to mine, my eyes opened wide in shock trying to figure out what just happened. Mari had pulled away with a smile on her face and a blush like that of a young school filly.

"You had some chocolate left on your muzzle so I took care of it for you."

"I... don't know what to say."

While Mari and I stood there a pony was approaching us slowly with an irritated look on his face.

"Look at the two love birds, do you mind getting out of my way I'm trying to walk here."

I turned my head to see what this rude pony looked like. He was a Pegasus Colt, his coat was beige and his mane and tail purple, he had two horns on his head and his left fore hoof looked like a dragons claw, his wings were that of a bats and they were really big.

"Who are you, and what do you want anyway?" I asked trying to look intimidating to this pony.

"The name is Dio, and if it means that much to you I'm trying to leave town before I run into Ley, she's been on my head for years now."

"Ley? Well if you're trying to escape then I'll help you, what does she look like anyway?

"How can I best describe her... She looks like that." Dio said pointing a finger to his side and off in the distance quickly approaching was Rainbow Dash, Vinetion, and the pony that could only be Ley and some freaky looking dog."

Authors Note: It's finally done! I've had some serious writers block with this and I finally got it done. To anyone out there who wants to appear in this you have to catch me when I'm not tired, not typing. Those times are usually when I first log in and any time not after after 8:00 P.M. There's also a blog post showing all the skill Mari, Ronan, Zero, Dio and Ley use that I haven't shown yet so check it out. And that is Dio
