Well life has a funny way of working it's self out doesn't it? The jumbled mess of my last days working on the comic will always be a mystery but the rest... nah the rest is good. I suppose I should start with what's new. Well oddly enough not me still running around as a dragon least for now anyways always had a nack for picking up new forms I liked. Speaking of me which I do try my best not to drag on about I've recently taken up space travel silver surfer style riding on the cosmic waves listening to rock music it's a good life is a boring one. I had grown weary of hometown it was a great place but good lord was it boring now a days guess after spending nearly every day getting into some kinda trouble down time just sucks honestly. So I sent everyone home packed up and left been surfing the stars ever since. That is until one day I got into a spot of trouble. I won't spoil the details but it's the first time in a long time I got my ass kicked hard and I crashed on a nearby planet.

Long ago in a far away land way before the elements of harmony were created there was a war and not just a war... the war. But not the normal kind. I came to this place through the starry sea and landed down in this place. It was devastated we restored it and made it our own. Me and my kin we ran through it's fields played on it's mountians and swam in it's seas it was our paradise. At it's center was the source of our prosperity a magical crystal we named Nirvana. It controlled the weather kept the air clean and provided us with the wisdom we needed to grow and prosper on our own. But nothing lasts forever, On the first day of the current age a fissure in the earth burst open unleashing the evil it had kept trapped for so many years. The legions of Tartarus would claim everything. We fought for 400 years I was one of the last survivors just me my sisters and a refugee from tartarus our caretaker saved. The war took my eldest sister's life living me to raise the youngest all on my own. The Refugee my brother... fell to the temptation of power the legions of tartarus tempted him with and fell back with them. I leave this record so you understand the following events about the hardships trials and eventual salvation that would come to pass at the hands of my sagas hero.

????: *Stops reading and looks out a nearby window the land was a wasteland.* This can't be all there is to read I know this story by heart. *watches a tiny foal playing in a pen nearby* It's hard to believe all of this happened because of you.

????: *The foal chewing on a toy sword looks up at the reader and blinks its brown eyes at them just what was so important about this child of fate?*

Chapter 0

The solder of stone

Deep within the everfree forest the largest of it's kind in the entire world stands a shrine. In it an ancient temple stands at it's center a detailed statue of a ancient pony warrior in combat against hellish imps from Tartarus called Capalons rests. Raised in honor of this brave hero he is dubbed the king of Equestria it was his sacrifice that helped end the civil war between Luna and Celestia many years ago when Luna surcame to the darkness in her heart. This king baring the name Angelo Stargiver or the Sentinel of the starry skies fights on even now in the after life keeping the creatures at bay from returning for a 1000 years it's today the Million year knight is about to be set free but the one freeing him has better things in mind then welcoming him back with open arms.

????: *Shrouded in a pure white cloak it's hooves click on the over grown temple floor as it reaches the chamber* The time has come... It is time my king for you to rise up and take what is yours. *pulls out a large orb attaches to a chain and lets it go it floats in the air and then blasts at the statue and embeds it's self in the statue then vanishes*

Angelo: *His petrified body begins to rock and gives off light moments later he bursts free of his tomb and stumbles out his body covered in blood soaked and rushed armor he stumbles for gasping for breath and falls to the ground. After he rests for a bit he pulls himself up to his feet his totaled armor falls off his frame revealing he was very skinny and from centuries of not eating he pulled his helmet off revealing he wasn't a real unicorn but rather an earth pony and panted.* What... madness is this? *he looked at his hooves shivering in disbelief* I... I am alive is the war over? *He looks around* This chamber... I know it naught I must compose myself and return to my lady. *he finds his way out of the temple and is more puzzled* A sea of trees... I thought it impossible after the very ground burst into flames during the war.

For two days and nights he wondered through the forest though his body was weak his will was strong enough to pull him through. Before his hunger truly did him in he found himself in an apple orchard.

Angelo: Apples! I am saved blessed be this sacred fruit! *he picked one of the apples with a rainbow colored skin and took a bit a shock of energy rushed through his body energizing him* These apples are blessed with the power of lighting I can feel their energy healing my body!

Before he knew it he had devoured over 30 zap apples about half of that years crop when his stomach finally was satisfied he gathered the rest into a bag to use to barter with later.

Angelo: Perfect I am healed and pleased. Now then... *looks himself over* I am not presentable I must clean myself up and find proper attire then find her. *wonders off to find what he needs.*

Meanwhile

????: *Racing toward a large house built out of a tree the runner bursts through the door* Twilight!

Twilight: Ah! *drops the books she was holding* Apple Jack don't scare me like that!

Apple Jack: *panting* T-the zap apples... they are gone!

Twilight: How many?

Apple Jack: The entire harvest it's completly gone!

Twilight: What!? *she races after her friend sure enough they were all gone and the trees were dying after the being harvested to early.* Oh no.

Apple Jack: what we going to do the Zap apples are our bumper crop!

Twilight: We get to the bottom of this someone will pay for this. *she checks the ground* These tracks I've never seen horse shoes like this before they look like combat greaves.

Apple Jack: No way a solder would do all this we supply a lot of the army's food.

Twilight: I don't think they did this, Look at the design. This ensigna I've never seen it before it's not the kind our solders it kinda looks like a dragon forged these.

Apple Jack: a dragon did this?

Twilight: That I'm not sure of but they have the same design that Celestia has I'm thinking due to how deep these prints are it's a war horse a earth pony most likely. Almost as heavy as your brother or at the very least it's armor is but again I'm not that sure I don't think it's dangerous though your homestead is visible from here it would have attacked if that was the intention and looks most of the apples were eaten there are cores everywhere the rest were taken it seems for provisions.

Apple Jack: Well shoot partner what do we do?

Twilight: We run.

Apple Jack: I'm not running from no apple stealing solder boy!

Twilight: Not away to this trail... he's heading for Fluttershy's house! *starts running again.*

Elsewhere

Angelo: Huh a cottage wonder if I can clean up here. *He moves up to the door and finds a note on the door and he reads it* I can barely make out this language... ah visitor... shower out back. *Shower? Like a rain shower? Hmm must be a unicorn I've seen them use magic to bath themselves with less water. *he moves behind the cottage and finds an outdoor shower which the owner normally uses to wash the animals they take care off but it would suit his purpose and did.* Amazing not only was it warm but there were bottled soaps too. *He dries off by shaking himself off like a dog and puts his Greaves back on. Hmm they must still be out I need something to wear least I catch my death of could. Not going to walk around naked even in this back water town. *picks up his zap apples* I will sally forth to find what I need. *Moves on.*

As Angelo leaves the cottage it's owner returns from town coming the other way it is then her friends see her.

Twilight: Fluttershy!

Fluttershy: hmm? *puts her basket down near her door* Oh hello girls is something wrong?

Apple Jack: Fluttershy where did the theft go!?

Fluttershy: *tilts her head a little* Theft? What theft did something happen?

Apple Jack: You bet something happened there is a theft running around and we saw him come this way!

Fluttershy: Oh my you said he was coming this way? *She checks behind her home and comes back in a panick* Some pony used the last of my heated water I needed that to clean up the circus animals that are coming here later their caravan crashed in the swamp!

Apple Jack: It's got to be the same theft that stole my Zap apples!

Fluttershy: Your apples are gone?

Twilight: Hmm... *checks the shower and finds a few strands of his mane. *I've never seen mane hair so course before it feels strange too... I think there is a spell on it. Either way girls we need to find this pony soon he might be dangerous.

Angelo: *arrives outside a Boutique* Hmm? *he looks inside and notices a cosplay outfit just like his old suit of armor on display* what the... that's my armor! Thieves I designed the concept myself they belong to the royal family! *He picks up a rock and breaks the window and bursts in.*

The owner: What is all that racket? *comes down stairs just in time to see the theft put the armor on confused at how light it feels but then leaps out the broken window knocking over a display case that starts a small fire via a mood candle.* My shop!

Twilight: Look it's Rarity!

Rarity: *putting out the fire* Oh this is terrible!

Apple Jack: Oh no not again.

Fluttershy: You too Rarity?

Rarity: What do you mean me too?

The girls explain what is going on as Twilight plays detective again and the others help put out the fire.

Rarity: Hmm I see.

Fluttershy: What did it take anyway?

Rarity: Why this armor I was making for the days of history festival next month. I found the design in an old book at the archive was I was researching dress ideas. I thought I could fix it up and see if a friend of mine would like it. It's such a rare design I think it might be from Trottingham or Ancient Amareica!

Twilight: Bad news girls the trail stops cold. I lost it.

Apple Jack: Now what?

They hear a scream nearby and follow. It leads them to the bakery inside they see pots and pans flying around.*

????: Get away from the cupcakes!

Angelo: Madam calm yourself I have offered up proper barter! *lifts several pots into the air with his mind and blocks the barrage of items thrown at him for firing them back at his attack the last one a knife catches the attacker's tail and sticks it to the wall as it struggles to get down then he flees.*

Twilight: Pinkie!

Pinkie pie: Get me down Twilight I almost had him!

Rarity: He's the one that stole my armor!

The girls surround him later after another of their friends Rainbow dash joins them.

Twilight: Who are you!?

Angelo: Tch a better question is who art thou to speak to me in such a manner?

Twilight: I am Twilight Sparkle the element of magic who are you? *lights up her horn*

Angelo: None of your business nor do I like the lies the spill forth from thine mouth. You the element of magic? Lies! There is no element of magic! *Slams his hoof against the ground and a chunk of the earth comes up it turns into a sword and he rises to his hind legs to hold it facing them small prongs on his greaves work as hydrolics to keep him upright in this stance.

Twilight: (Wait... where have I seen that stance before?)

Pinkie pie: He ate a cupcake without paying!

Angelo: I did pay harlot and I even gave you a tip no matter they serve better as tools of war anyway! *He pulls out a zap apple and crushes it then drips the juice onto his sword electrofiing it.

Apple Jack: Your the theft!

Angelo: Theft? I merely collected what was mine from my own property all trees belong to me!

Fluttershy: You stole my water!

Angelo: Enough of this! *Swings the sword making a wave of energy and they all ducked out of the way as blast of thunder exploded nearby. I grow weary of this dribble I demand to you take me my lady at once!

Rarity: You broke into my shop you monster!

Angelo: your the crazy B*tch that stole the design for my armor I know how clever you seamstress are.

Twilight: We'll stop you!

Rainbow dash: No one messes with my friends!

Angelo: *laughs* Really? A bunch of fillies like you standing up against the Sentinal of the starry skies. *extends his sword up right and channels all the energy of the blade to it's tip.* Have at thee then!

Twilight: *uses her magic to try to bind him he breaks free and Twilight stumbles from the back lash and he pulls up another chunk of the ground and throws it at her*

Apple JAck: *bucks it when it's close* That's it your done! *she pulls out her lasso and catches the hoof the sword was in trying to yank it free.*

Angelo: I don't think so. *He yanks it hard pulling apple Jack forward and he catches her* My turn. *he swings AJ by rope on her tail over head then uses her to sweep all but fluttershy who dived out of the way to the ground.* Fools all of you. You dare turn against me!

Fluttershy: How dare you! *She starts to glare at him but before he falls under her control completly he covers his eyes by dropping his visor*

Angelo: Ah a siren I knew it now it's beginning to make sense *he crouches down and jumps up hight bursting through the roof and races across the roof top then jumps down and bolts off* I must retreat for now and make plans for a siren!

Twilight: *gets up after a bit* Ow...

Fluttershy: Girls!

Apple Jack: He's tough.

Rainbow dash: *coughs* That's putting it nicely.

Rarity: We have to stop him he's really dangerous.

Twilight: I hate to do it but... I think we need the princess for this one.

Angelo: *trying to catch his breath while hiding in a tent in market place* Damn those mares are quick I'm still weak. *He removes his helmet and finds his insignia is worn.* Bloody hell the insigna is chipping off I need to fix it. *He gets to work doing so.*

Twilight: *back in her home with her friends as Fluttershy patches them up she writes a letter*

Fluttershy: I'm sorry I couldn't help girls.

Apple Jack: You almost had him he was quicker on the draw though covering his eyes like that.

Rainbow dash: What kind of fighting style was that anyway?

Spike: It's Dragon I've seen it before in history books bi ped dragons like myself use it to fight monsters in the distant past but they chose to evolve into better monsters then fighters. *following fluttershy giving her the items she needs to patch up the others*

Twilight: He's right that knights fighting style was that of a ancient earth dragon combat style. Plus he claimed the armor is his meaning is from a very old family too I know that insignia somewhere but I can't place it. *finishes the letter* Okay it's done Spike send it.

Spike: You got it. *he blows a magic fire on the letter and it's gone.

Twilight: now we wait.

They didn't have to wait long a short time later a reply letter came back.

Spike: *reads it* Twilight this is a very urgent matter you were right to call me I am coming right now meet me in the park.

So they went to the park a short time later a large magic bubble appeared revealing Celestia and a squad of royal guards.

Spike: Whoa...

Twilight: Is it that bad?

Celestia: It's worse we have been invaded.

Fluttershy: Invaded!?

Celestia: There is no time we must flush him out and I know how. *she uses her magic to create a blast of light in the air*

Angelo: What the... beacon! They must have found me! *he races toward it soon as he gets there the spells stops and he's surrounded* What's this!?

Celestia: You! How dare you invade my kingdom!

Twilight: (Whoa she's mad.)

Angelo: Who are you Maiden? You are not my lady though I am puzzled you sound much like her.

Celestia: Who sent you!

Angelo: None I escaped from the war and made my way here.

Celestia: Don't lie to me the war ended 1000 years ago! *fires off a spell at him trying to bind him but he dodges it*

Angelo: 1000 years!? Lies! *he extends his sword and a guard tries to attack hi mbut he catches him with his armored hoof* Razor sharp wings !? More witch craft! handy. *He kicks the guard away* I shant last unless I focus myself. *he channels electricity from the blade to his legs and stamps the ground cracking it.* Brace thyself! *he strikes the guards shocking them into passing out and beating away those that got to close with a flurry of blows*

Celestia: Such power... (I've seen it before.)

Angelo: *finishes and focues on her* If thou refuses to yeild the info I need I will make you pony.

Celestia: I am not a pony... I am a goddess! *her eyes turn white and she unloads a powerful beam attack he braces and catches it it with a shiny slate of ground he lifts up at the last moment.

Angelo: (Holy energy! this is no mere pony!) *The stone breaks and he is sent flying back the cheap armor shatters revealing his brown flank color*

Celestia: Wait... oh no! *she gallops up to him* It can't be!

Angelo: *coughs up blood* What a fool I have been... I should have reconize thee sooner. *reaches up to her face* I have returned... my lady. *his hoof drops the side the bombardment of the rock exploded coupled with his prior injuries and shock of being freed send him into a coma.*

Chapter 2

Sins of a goddess

In ponyville hospital

Twilight: Princess tell us what is going on?

Celestia: *laying down overwhealmed at what has happened.* In the past... I did something horrible. *looks over at Angelo who was chained down and detailed by the guards he hadn't woken up yet as a precaution.*

Apple Jack: What ya talking about princess?

Celestia: My little ponies If anyone was a fool today it was me. This isn't a normal knight this is a Dragoon?

Twilight: Dragoon?

Celestia: And in a way... he is my son.

Even the guards couldn't compose themselves with that bit of info.

Pinkie pie: Son!? That meanie head is your son!?

Celestia: Yes...

Fluttershy: W-what do you mean?

Celestia: It's complicated like I said but he is my son... I was such a fool... I didn't even... realize it was him. A long time ago shortly after I began my rule he was born... I was so busy trying to set up the kingdom I didn't have time for him so he grew up indistant to me he didn't see me as his mother but rather only as his lady the one he was to defend with his life I lost a son and gained the perfect knight I wanted that then but now... I realize what a fool I was. When Luna gave into her dark desires and jealously he lead my armies against her but her Tartarus hordes were to much and he sacrificed himself by petrifying every capalon along with himself trapped in a endless war in the after life to keep them from waking up.

Twilight: how is that possible? he's just an earth pony right?

Celestia: When he went to train under the earth dragon who was my ally a the time that prideful fool won't teach a good to use his gifts so Angelo gave up his godhood to the dragon and he trained him I later learned the dragon wantedh is godhood in the first place and I finally took care of him several hundrad years ago but my son's powers and god hood were gone look at his body he still has the marks where his horn and wings once where. And now after escaping which no mortal should be able to do from the after life he is on the brink of being sent back.

Twilight: This is really bad we have to do something.

Celestia: We must start by getting the dragons help

Apple Jack: Whoa whoa whoa you want the dragon to help?

Celestia: I defeated him... but he still knows many things about my son more then I ever did the key to waking him up rests with the dragon.

Guard: *Comes in* My lady we have spotted the earth dragons messenger.

Celestia: So soon? He must have sensed my sons return as well...

They leave the room and find the messenger a tall dragon even more so then Celestia biped with a brown cloak on studded with gems.

Messenger: The earth dragon bids you good day and wants returned to him what is his.

Celestia: My son isn't the property of the earth dragon!

Messenger: Angelo? So he lives... interesting. No the king wants his sword returned.

Twilight: The sword... that one he made?

Messenger: Yes the prince has the power to summon that sword from the ground we want that power back.

CElestia: Take it but only if you revive my son while you are at it.

Messenger: A fair and simple bargin. *Goes into the hospital and comes out with the sword* Good day Lady Celestia. *swallowed up by the ground which forms a set of stairs then vanishes after it goes down them*

They return to Angelo's room in time to see him wake up.




Angelo: *groans and tries to sit up but the combo of chains and fatigue keeps him from doing so* Ah... chains what is this?

Celestia: Your okay thank goodness.

Angelo: Lady Celestia!

Celestia: Wait please you are Angelo right?

Anthony: Huh? *looks up at her* Yes of course but are you Lady Celestia? You look so... different.

Celestia: *She tears up* yes my child It was your sacrifice that gave me the courage to unleash my true potential I called for the very elements of harmony they gave me the strength to seal way Luna and end the nightmare.

Angelo: *he looks at her very closely a flash of Celestia's old self pink eyes and Mane comes to his mind and he laughs* It is you at last the war is over!

Celestia: Yes excatly.

Angelo: *His smile soon fades as he drinks in his new surroundings and the machines that monitered his vitals the constant beep of it's power* Fate hasn't been kind to an old knight has it?

Celestia: Indeed I am sorry.

Angelo: No I am the one that's sorry. I'm sorry I left you all alone when you needed me most even if that is what helped you end the war.

Celestia: I need your help you took so long to return I feared you would never return. This kingdom needs a new order of knights but the teachers of old are no more you are the only one that can change my guards into proper knights peace has weaked our nation it's been at peace to long we need the knights back will you help me?

Angelo: Yes of course I will! *he tries to sit up but is the pain hits him again.*

Celestia: Easy you must recover it will take months for your body to recover from your ordeals just take it slow you've got you entire life to teach alright?

Angelo: *Nods his head laying back the guards unchain him.

Celestia: I want you to remain here in ponyville with my student and her friends things are a lot different here and you need to learn how things work before you return to the castle.

Apple Jack: Plus ya'll gots ta fix the damage you've done you destoryed my entire harvest!

Angelo: well techinqually I ate it.

Apple Jack: Same difference!

Celestia: I agree you did stir up a lot of trouble and I do not want my son being seen as a criminal the moment he returns.

Angelo: I! *sighs* I suppose you are right I have to right my wrongs.

Celestia: Twilight Sparkle?

Twilight: Yes princess?

Celestia: I'd like you to help Anthony find lodging I'm sure amongs the 6 of you someone will have a place for him to stay.

Twilight: Of course.

Celestia: *to a guard* prepare a chariot I must inform my sister of this news at once.

Guard: Yes my lady.

In the ponyville Libary 5 days later

Angelo: *rubbings his neck where Red heart gave him his last shot for he left.* What strange glass instruments she used I do feel much better though imaging recoving that much in 5 days.

None of the girls were in a talking mood right now they weren't excatly thrilled about housign the stallion that almost killed them after all.

Rarity: Can you keep it down please we are trying to think.

Anthony: Think how can you think doesn't thine head weight a ton with all that make up and hair spray?

Rarity: why you! *is blocked by Rainbow dash*

Rainbow dash: Easy Rarity don't mess him up sides he is right you do use to much sometimes.

Angelo: Anyway which one of thou will house me?

Of course none were quick to respond.

Angelo: Fine then I'll pick.

Twilight: No no we'll... *groans* figure it out just hold on.

So the girls huddled up.

Twilight: He has to go with one of us.

Rainbow dash: I'm out he's an earth pony.

Rarity: Not so fast Twilight can cast the cloud walker spell on him he could live with you.

Fluttershy: Angel won't like him around...

Apple Jack: He might wind up eating him or something anyway. I know ah don't want him on the farm Big mac is still really sore about what he did.

Pinkie pie: He destroyed the kitchen I don't think that the cakes will want him around...

Apple Jack: Well Twi I guess he's yours.

Twilight: Me!? Why me?

Rainbow dash: Well you house was the only one that didn't get trashed.

Fluttershy: And recasting that spell every day sounds tedious so that's perfect besides it will make sending reports easier.

Twilight: *grumbling to herself as her friends leave she flips on the lights as the sun was going down.

Angelo: Why are we still at the libary?

Twilight: I live here?

Angelo: Really? Hmph I had expected something more eloquent for my mother's disciple then this.

Twilight: Gah what is your problem!

Angelo: Hmm?

Twilight: All you do is complain and cause trouble!

Angelo: You want to know why?

Twilight: yes!

Angelo: I don't like mares who dare speak out of turn.

Twilight: *confused by this* Why?

Angelo: Mares are suppose to compose themselves with elegence and grace at first I thought this RArity was but she is as bad as the rest of you. Your unrefined loud and tread upon the duties of Stallions: Stopping criminals? Honestly you don't have the right to do such thing let along the ability as we clearly saw today.

Twilight: *still confused*

Angelo: *sighs* Fine let me show you what I mean. *he shifts through her books and pulls out a ancient guide to pony culture in it was a section on how mares 1000 years ago carried themselves* See? This is how you should act it's disgusting watching you stomp all over the customs and laws I have grown so fond and attached too. Time may have moved on but culture shouldn't!

Twilight *still shocked a bit* Uh... yes I think I understand a bit better now.

Angelo: Hmph good I shall excuse myself I need to clear my head it's unbecoming of a Gentle colt to let his anger get the better of him. *he leaves the Libary.*

Spike: *comes in later* Hey Twilight.

Twilight: *looking over the book* Oh hey Spike..

Spike: Something wrong?

Twilight: A lot... but... I hope I can figure it out.

Spike: So we got to keep him?

Twilight: Yes... he hates how much everything has changed but maybe... we can help.

Later that night Twilight knocks on the basement door he had hulled himself up down there.

Twilight: Angelo? It's dinner time. *She listens and hears a pen scratching away.* Hello? *no response* never mind.

Late that night...

Twilight: *watching the door from her bed* (He's still in there...)

a few days later

Twilight: *having lunch with her friends* I'm worried girls he's locked himself in basement for 3 days now.

Rainbow dash: Ah let him stay there out of sight out of mind.

Rarity: It is rather strange though... what is he doing in there?

Twilight: That's the thing though there is my spare desk and a blank journal maybe he's writing things down in it? I don't know.

Apple Jack: Ya'll want our help?

Twilight: yes I can't unlock the door he's done something to it my magic won't unlock it nor can I lift it off the hindges either...

Fluttershy: Lets all go maybe we can coax him out he must be starving.

Rainbow dash: Ah man this sucks.

So they all went and found the door was slightly open.

Twilight: That's odd... *she opens the door and gasps at what she sees they all do*

The door lead to not to the basement but high off the ground on a cloud.

Twilight: this... this is a portal door I've read about these the art was long centuries ago!

Rainbow dash: *steps out onto the cloud* Huh...

Pinkie pie: What is it Dashie?

Rainbow dash: This cloud... it feels different but in a good way I think... you can stand on it.

Carefully Pinkie poked the cloud then stepped on it it held her weight and didn't sink at all.

Pinkie pie: Ooo! girls girls look I'm cloud walking!

Twilight: Without magic!? That isn't possible!

Rarity: *steps onto the cloud* No... she's write darling it's quite safe. *she jumps and lands on it again it didn't give at all* It feels amazing even softer then the ones in cloudsdale.

Apple Jack: *steps onto it and stomps on it* Yep nice and soft but tough too I can walk just fine.

Rainbow dash: That isn't possible the thicker you make a cloud the harder it becomes it shouldn't be possible to make clouds this thick and still be comfortable!

Angelo: Clearly you've never met the son of a goddess before.

They turn around and find Angelo in a chair made up out of clouds which he hops off of.

Twilight: Angelo... are you saying you made all this?

Looking around they now see it was a wallless apartment several floors of clouds with funiture made up of clouds a Radio nearby was playing a Sapphire shores song.

Angelo: Guilty as charged.

Rainbow dash: How and why do you sound different?

Angelo: *he pulls out a jar containing a tiny cloud* I pooled my thoughts and ideas into that journal I found in the basement this cloud is one of them. It's based off a proposed design Starswirl my personal teacher showed me before his death and I perfected it. I even found several old books on elocution that I used to update my speaking habits I don't like having to adjust it but I felt it necessary to not stand out while I recovered.

Twilight: What about the portal door?

Angelo: Another lesson from Star swirl I used the remaining energy I had stored in gem piece I found to make more clouds. Ran out of that too need more zap apples.

Apple Jack: Well there are no more ya'll ate them all.

Angelo: Well not all of them. *points behind her and she gasps there was an orcid of mini zap
apple trees growing fruit* That should cover what I ate.

Apple Jack: Ah don't even...

Rarity: Where are we excatly?

Angelo: I don't know Gallop and go islands or something still trying to get the hang of these new carts and graphs

Fluttershy: Gallop and go!? That's over 2000 miles from ponyville!

Angelo: That far huh? Guess I pumped a bit to much power out of the gem.

Twilight: Angelo you can't stay here!

Angelo: Why not?

Rainbow dash: The islands are racked with bad storms all the time no pegasus lives out here it's to dangerous!

Rarity: Yes darling you have to come back with us.

Angelo: Why should I? It's pretty clear you all don't want me around.

Twilight: We want you around.

Angelo: Don't lie to me Twilight your furious Celestia never told you about me I'm not blind you think the world of Celestia her not telling you about me? You still can't believe it.

Twilight: How did you know that?

Angelo: My personal power is over dreams I've seen all of your dreams it's the only skill I retained from my godhood.

Rarity: *gasps* you! Your the one that broke into my house I knew it wasn't Opal!

Angelo: Yep I had to see why mother wanted me to work with you and I see it but your just like every other equine and I refuse to listen to you. *his ears perk up and he looks under him a hurricane was starting up* Hmph looks like I got to move sooner then I thought.

Fluttershy: H-he saw my dreams?

Rainbow dash: he saw all our dreams I knew he couldn't be trusted! *she blushes a bit* w-wait did you see the one I had last night?

Angelo: *grins* Of course not... bowie.

Rainbow dash: *she covers her mouth in shock as she blushed harder*

Twilight: Girls please try to calm down. (We have to convince him we are his friends.) Angelo... *she trots up to him as he watches the storm* Please...

Angelo: huh? *looks at her* Please what?

Twilight: Give... give us a chance! *this shocks the others* I know you hate us I know you don't want to be here but please I'm begging you all we want is a chance please we are only trying to help you!

Angelo: *he stops and stares at her with a look of shock on his face* Your aura...

Twilight: My what?

Angelo: Every creature as an aura it represents their true disposition. The earth dragon taught me how to see them, for the longest time your auras were red full of malice hatred and indifference but your aura Twilight just changed to green. You mean what you say you honestly want to help me and it's the first time you've meant it...

Twilight: *grabs his hoof* the storm is coming it will wipe out everything we have to go now!

Angelo: *lets her drag him through the door and they all go through and shut then lock it a bit later they sounds of the storm are very loud and the splintering of wood sends a shiver down Angelo's spine.* my door... it's gone I left the gem there too I don't have anything left.

Apple Jack: The Zap apples are gone too... now what am ah going to do?

Pinkie pie: Why did you grow those Zap apples anyway?

Angelo: They are tasty for one and being able to cast magic again was very handy.

Twilight: *trying to keep everyone's mind of what just happened as well* How did you grow them?

Angelo: Accident really after I made the first cloud to sit on I dug into the saddle mother gave me and I took a bite out of my last zap apple when I dropped it soon as it hit the cloud it sent off a powerful jolt of lighting and took root growing to what you saw right before my eyes in a matter of minutes the fruit came in the next day so I repeated the process and soon had my own orchid.

Apple Jack: Hmm...Granny always said there was a special way to grow Zap apples but she forgot.

Angelo: I suppose you've tried this before right?

Rainbow dash: Well yeah I've dropped one on a cloud before but that didn't happened.

Fluttershy: It must be your special kind of clouds Angelo normal clouds can only be stood on by Pegasus.

Angelo: Hmph maybe if we had more seeds we could try again. *pulls out that jar* Still got a bit of my new cloud left over making more is easy inventing it is the hard part.

Rarity: How did you do that in the first place?

Twilight: One thing at a time Angelo if you had more seeds could you make more trees?

Angelo: I guess so... *next thing he knew Twilight was dragging him out of the libary with her magic the others followed.

At Sweet apple acres front gate.

Big Mac: Nope.

Apple Jack: Tarnation Big Mac now isn't the time to be stubborn!

Granny smith: Then I'll be stubborn for him *Big Mac goes back to work as Granny smith locks the gates to the farm* I don't want 'em anywhere near the orchid he's done enough damage already Apple Jack!

Twilight: But Mrs. Smith he can fix the damage he's done!

Pinkie pie: He grew Zap apples on a cloud!

Granny smith: Hogwash an't possible! Now git him out of here you girls are always welcome here but that hooligan isn't! *she leaves*

Fluttershy: Oh dear what do we do now?

Angelo: *he climbs on top of the gate* We don't ask. *he leaps from the fence and gallops toward the barn past Granny smith*

Granny smith: Oh no you don't varmit! *She whistles loud and Big Mac comes back charging at Angelo.

Apple Jack: Come on we have to help!

Twilight: *opens the gate with her magic and they chase after Big mac and Anthony.

Big Mac: *though he was big he was quick and Angelo was still recovering.*

Angelo: Easy big boy. *when Big Mac tries to ram him he makes the ground blast him up and he lands on his back*

Big Mac: Get off! *stops and tries to buck him off*

Angelo: AJ where are the seeds?

Apple Jack: In the barn on the second floor!

Angelo: got it. *As Big mac lowers his legs to buck again he lands on them and he uses that to boost him up into the air on the next kick up to the second floor of the barn where blasts of lighting burst from inside when they all arrive soon after he was laying on the ground panting as the clouds rained on him in each had brand new zap apple trees.* Trees are a go...

Later

Granny smith: *puts a fresh pie on the table* Eat up everypony it's my world famous pie.

Rarity: Thank you Mrs smith.

Granny smith: Oh stop that I'm Granny to everypony silly and you Angelo was it? I'm awful sorry about the fuss ah gave you you really were trying to help.

Big Mac: Eeyup.

Angelo: Thanks Big Mac that means a lot coming from you. *rubs the back of his head and sighs* Look... I got issues with how much things have changed since I was gone but... I'll try that's all I can promise.

Apple Jack: That's all we expect one step at a time right girls?

The main six cheer in response it was a long day but they had made some progress.

Later that night as Twilight sat up at her desk writting a letter to the princess.

Dear Princess Celestia

Things didn't exactly go as I planned at first but I think we have made some progress. I have learned that Angelo hates how much things have changed. Did Luna have this much trouble when she came back? He feels lost he hardly ever leaves the basement which he has filled with ancient books and stories from his time. He is living here now truly now I've given him my bed until we can order him another one I'll be up all night anyway you know how I am after all.


She stops writing and looks over at him sleeping on her bed behind her his proto cloud it was still small in a jar above her bed.

Chapter 3

Cup of lies

Angelo's new clouds had only one side effect when Zap apples grow on them they are prone to causing lighting storms but only if spaced to close together while the apple family fixed that problem a few escaped and were raining over ponyville they would be attended to later. Meanwhile a wooden wagon rolled into town and stopped in the square as the last of the rain stopped it popped open becoming a stage.

Rarity: *hears the noise and opens her window looking out side rubbing her eyes* Oh no... *she floats her cellphone over and dials* Twilight? We got a problem... yeah I'll be there soon. *she yawns and puts her phone away then stops and comes back* Wait... where the hell did this come from?

Soon they mane 6 with Angelo in tow get to the stage where the owner was setting up.

Rainbow dash: Well look who's back what's wrong the rest of the world didn't want you?

Fluttershy: Rainbow dash don't talk like that. *meekly* even if it's true...

Twilight: Trixie... what are you doing back in ponyville.

Trixie: None of your business Twilight Sparkle. *She finishes setting up* there all ready.

Apple Jack: Oh this should be good.

Trixie: *she gets onto the smaller platform she made on her stage and it deploys rising her up into the air a bit* Ponies of ponyville are you ready to see some real magic?

Many ignored her knowing her from the past.

Trixie: Fine Trixie will demonstrate her new found prowess. *she uses her magic and points at a spot on the ground a massive red plant with sharp teeth and white spots that snaps at a pony passing by.* I bring you things your eyes have never witnessed before behold! *creates another plant like the first and it spits a fire ball at Trixie who deflects it with her cape at the other plant that catches and swallows it.

Well after that display she had a sold out show no challenges no insulting just an honest performance. By the time it was over her old rep had been restored.

Trixie: Thank you ponyville I'll see you tomorrow! *she gathers up the bits on the stage and leaves.*

Fluttershy: That was pretty good much better then before.

Twilight: *flipping through a book on plants* I've never seen plants like that before they were to complex to just be spells either.

Apple jack: Well I don't know about ya'll but I'm getting a ticket for tonight's show it's just like Granny smith always says everypony deserves a second chance.

Rarity: I agree she's really outdone herself I'm sure Sweetie bell well love the show too.

All the girls leave but Twilight who was still flipping through her book while Angelo moved over to where the plant and grown and picked up a leaf it dropped.

Angelo: (The barriers couldn't be failing this soon could they?)

Twilight: What is it? *trots up to him and looks over the leaf* This is like no leaf I've seen before.

Angelo: that's what worries me. *he follows Trixie*

Twilight: *follows as well*

Trixie: *goes to a hotel nearby where she helps a unicorn bell hop float her steamer trunk into her room* Thank you. *tosses him a tip*

Bellhop: *Grins* Your welcome Miss Trixie wow ponies were wrong about you after all. *He leaves as Angelo and Twilight come up.

Trixie: *studders a little* O-oh Twilight what can I do for you?

Twilight: We wanted to ask you a few questions and well done on your show it truly was a great and powerful performance.

Trixie: Ah thanks so... what did you need to know? *She was shivering a little*

Angelo: You okay?

Trixie: I'm perfectly fine those spells take a lot out of me is all.

Twilight: *pulls out the leaf* This came off one of your plants where did you find them?

Trixie: *hesitates for a moment* In the ever free forest.

Twilight: Ever free? Well that solves that mystery thanks. *puts the leaf away* I am amazed Trixie you have really turned yourself around keep up the good work. *she waves and leaves and Trixie seems to relax a bit*

Angelo: Where did you really get these?

Trixie: Eh? Trixie doesn't have to explain herself to you get lost. *She goes in her room*

Angelo: (I need to find out what's going on to do that I'm going to need a new pendant better contact Celestia.) *he leaves as well*

on the other side of the wall Trixie slumps to the ground panting softly.

Trixie: That was way to close he's smarter then he lets on but this is Trixie's big break she won't mess it up again. *she hears something fall over and looks on her bed a pony was sleeping there.* Oh you scared me.

She trots over to the bed and helps the pony under the covers.

Trixie: You must be exhausted it's been a long trip for me too. C-can I join you?

there was no response but Trixie joined the pony under the covers and held it close to her.

Trixie: Thank you. You always make me feel so happy I'd be lost without you. *she dozes off to sleep.*

The next day round 4 PM Twilight and Spike come home from shopping to find Angelo looking over a few objects on the floor. One was a piece of dazzling clear crystal a chunk of polished silver and a small bottle with a glowing cloud inside of it.

Spike: Hey what you up too?

Angelo: Hmm? *looks up at them* Oh hey just making a new dagger.

Twilight: Dagger? What do you need a dagger for?

Angelo: This and that want to watch?

Spike: Sure.

Angelo: Okay then watch this. *he scoots two cylinders over to himself and puts them on his front hooves these create 3 claw shaped digits and he uses them to float the pieces in front of himself to manipulate them with ease.

Twilight: Are those what I think they are?

Angelo: Yep these are Starswirl's very own Alchemic manipulation gauntlets or AMG for short.

Spike: How do they do that? *watching the blade take form out of the crystal and the silver turned into a handle while the gas from the bottle is injected right into the blade all at the same time before he knew it the dagger was complete*

Angelo: I'm sure Twilight knows better then I do I just know how to use them.

Twilight: They work on the same principle that allows ponies to pick things up and manipulate them with their hooves. It's an invisible force that acts according to the pony's will the AMG allows a pony to gain mastery over this force and use it excatly has they intended. You see Spike right now Angelo is using them to manipulate those items the way he desires on the atomic level so it comes out excatly how he wants it. They are very rare and difficult to make how did you get these?

Angelo: I asked Celestia if I could borrow them she said yes.

Twilight: *face hoof* Right right your her son how do I keep forgetting that?

Angelo: *laughs* maybe it's because I act nothing like her son.

Twilight: Oh and what's that?

Angelo: Nothing we need to worry about right now. *looks over his work* There perfect this will do the job. *he grabs the tip of the hilt and pulls on it the blade retracts inside and so does the hand guard while from where he pulled a long string comes out and he wraps it around his neck and caps it to the part he pulled out making it a necklace* there perfect.

Twilight: *looks at the design on the pendant* Is that Celestia?

Angelo: Could be I just let my mind design it while I was at it.

Twilight: It's beautiful your very clever.

Angelo: You would be too if you have lived as long as I have.

Spike: how old are you?

Angelo: Hmm I lost tract after 21

Twilight: Just 21?

Angelo: yep after 21 decades you stop caring really.

Spike: Your over 210 years old!?

Angelo: Yeah is it really that surprising I have been sealed away after all.

Twilight: You must be a god to have survived that.

Angelo: Not anymore I'm aging like normal ponies now. Ah well couldn't be 19 forever. *he leaves the room*

Spike: Twilight? You okay?

Twilight: Huh? Yeah I'm fine spike. (19? That's only a year older then me.)

That evening the girls came by and they had a barbacue outside the libary.

Apple Jack: Alright who wants their burger these are done.

Pinkie pie: Oo me me me! *she bounces up with her plate and takes all the burgers Apple Jack made.*

Apple Jack: Ah thought this might happen that's why I brought spares. *she starts cooking those*

Angelo: *Sitting next to Rainbow dash watching AJ cook.* I thought ponies don't eat me anymore

Rainbow dash: We don't but we can there are a few ponies that like it nothing wrong with that however those are usually hunters and the like for normal ponies we use a special potion to make veggie patties taste like meat.

Angelo: Ah like liquid smoke.

Rainbow dash: Yeah sorta don't really understand the details myself. *she pokes her hooves together for a moment thinking* So... you know Trixie's magic show right?

Angelo: Yeah?

Rainbow dash: I was wondering... You want to sit by me when we get there?

Angelo: I don't mind why though?

Rainbow dash: Um no reason thanks. *she flies off to get her food*

Angelo: Huh wonder what that was about? Hmm... maybe she's trying to apologize for the other day. I need to get around to doing that as well but first food least I can still get a steak around here. *he gets a veggie patty and smells it* Hmm it looks and smells like meat. *he takes a bite* Crunchy... but in a good way yeah I am defiantly switching to this.

Apple Jack: *chuckles* glad ya like it partner thanks for the help with the trees the other day ah really appreciate it.

Angelo: I'm sorry for how I acted when I first got here. It's hard to let that kinda stuff go you know?

Apple Jack: To well I'm afraid mah family has been a feud'n with all manner of folks for years now. Even right here in ponyville we got several families of farmers that don't like us much because of what we did in the past but that's over with now. I'm worried about my family things could get worse if we don't stop but like you said you just can't bury the hatchet over night.

Angelo: *Agrees and chats on with AJ while the others watch him.*

Rainbow dash: Why do I have to sit by him?

Rarity: Come on Rainbow dash the princess asked us to give him a chance sides you drew the short straw.

Pinkie pie: He's getting along with AJ pretty good now.

Fluttershy: But he still commited those crimes on purpose too.

Twilight: I know it's hard girls I'm not use to dealing with ponies like him either and boys for that matter.

Pinkie pie: Come to think of it he's the only boy we hang around with isn't he?

Rainbow dash: Hey she's right a lot of boys are like him uh sorta...

Rarity: Hmm she does have a point boys are more rough and tumble then we are but he means well it seems it he really wanted to stir up trouble he'd have done so by now.

Twilight: So I say we give him a real shot just like AJ said a few minutes ago every pony deserves a second chance.

So it was agreed They'd give Angelo another shot to prove himself. After they finished eating then cleaned up they headed out to the park where a stage had been set up.

Rainbow dash: Hey I got an idea lets go wish Trixie luck.

Apple Jack: Umm why?

Rainbow dash: Second chances remember?

Apple Jac: Oh yeah ah knew that.

Twilight: You girls go on ahead I'm going to save us some seats.

Angelo: apprently I'm a girl now too.

Pinkie pie: You can't be a girl silly you don't got the hips for it.

Twilight: Right sorry Angelo I'll make sure to get you all good seats.

Spike: *follows Twilight* Hey I'm a boy too! *follows Twilight who groans*

Backstage

Trixie: *ordering the stage hands around to set up for her show she was wearing a ruffled shirt and had elric style makeup marks on her body to give her more flair.* Thanks boys. *she goes to her dressing room* Hello? You here?

????: Ah there you are.

Trixie: Yes I'm sorry I'm late.

????: It's fine come here.

Trixie: *hugs the unknown* I'm scared... what if I'm not good enough?

????: *pets her head smoothing her mane* It's alright just do your best I'll be right here when your show is over.

Trixie: Okay I love you.

????: I know. *lets her go and Trixie goes to her starting point*

Trixie: (Okay I can do this I can do this.) *The curtain goes up and she begins her show.*

Angelo: *watching then gets a bit worried* (Yeah... this is what I was afraid off. Now where is she keeping them.)

Trixie had added more plants to her show and other elements that filled him with worry. For her finale Trixie pulled out a star man and used it on herself glowing with rainbow colors she makes a spear of light and it split into a squad of star bits that whirled around the audience then slammed together making a crescent moon over head.

Trixie: Thank you and goodnight!

The crowd went nuts all but Angelo who was holding his head in his hooves swearing under his breath.

Backstage after the show.

Twilight: Trixie that was amazing!

Trixie: Really?

Apple Jack: Yeah partner ya'll did amazing.

Trixie: Well what did you expect Trixie is amazing after all.

The congratulations continued until Angelo moved up to her.

Angelo: Trixie is it?

Trixie: Hmm? Yes?

Angelo: Were did you get this? *holds up a small one of her plants*

Trixie: I told you the ever free forest.

Angelo: Can you show me? I need no have to know.

Rainbow dash: What's up?

Angelo: Nothing... hopefully.

Trixie: Trixie is very busy she doesn't have time for this.

Twilight: Oh please Trixie these plants are fascinating I'd love to study them!

Trixie: *she smiles* Well... A magician never reveals the secrets of her tricks but... I suppose the source of the trick isn't a problem I'll take you but just you Twilight its difficult for normal ponies to reach the spot as the plants there only respond to magic and it takes a variety of spells to get past it. I'll need a little bit of time to prepare but I'll contact you soon then.

Rarity: I see well good luck you two.

Angelo: Can I keep this?

Trixie: Sure Trixie has plenty more.

Angelo: Yeah thanks. *he leaves with the others but Twilight*

Twilight: I can't wait to see these plants. Well done Trixie you did an amazing job I'm so happy for you bye. *she leaves as well.*

Back in her room Trixie talks to her mysterious friend.

Trixie: She said she was proud of me! I couldn't believe it imagine that!

????: See? I told you she'd come around.

Trixie: I don't understand... why does she like me now? Is being nice making all the difference?

????: Indeed you have shed most of your ego and now look at you. Your the star of Ponyville you have several contracts just waiting to be signed and you have her approval. You have fixed your past and set your future.

Trixie: *Nervous* can I have a hug?

????: Of course.

Trixie hugs the mysterious speaker and a aura of energy flows around her as her magic is drained from her body she is oblivious to this though.

Trixie: I owe you everything thank you. I... I love you.

????: *pets her head again like before it comes out of the shadows it was a white mare with silver eyes and a black mane* And you Trixie I love you too tomorrow everything will change for good. *keeps draining her magic as Trixie sighs contently in her arms.* Soon enough indeed.

Chapter 3

Bubble goop swoop

Dear Princess Celestia
Recent events have left the 3 of us Angelo Spike and myself homeless. So if you don't mind can I have my old room at the castle back for a little bit? My parents don't have room for the 3 of us. I suppose I should explain it all started 2 weeks ago a few days after Trixie's show that I told you about.


Two weeks ago

Angelo: *Feeding the plant he got from Trixie* Damn these things grow fast.

Spike: What is that thing anyway?

Angelo: It's called a Piranha plant capable of making fire balls lighting ice and poison.

Spike: And... why do you have it in the libary?

Angelo: Ask Twilight that one I just wanted to study it but she's the one going nuts over it. It's always hungry.

Spike: Well look at it this way you got your own pet now.

Angelo: It's not a pet it's a project more then anything why do you say that?

Spike: Well now you can join us for our pet play date.

Angelo: play date?

Spike: Bring the plant and I'll show you.

Soon Angelo found himself in ponyville park where Twilight and the others were playing with their pets.

Angelo: Wow... is that Turtle wearing a helicoptor?

Spike: Yep and this is my pet. *holds up Peewee the Phoenix chick.*

Twilight: Hey guys what's up? *Owlicious lands on her head*

Angelo: Is that an owl?

Twilight: Yep he helps me at night.

Angelo: Tch.

Twilight: What?

Angelo: Owls freak me out.

Piranha plant: *hawks up and spits a bolt of lighting frying Owlicious who flies away in fear*

Angelo: Apparently I'm not the only one.

Twilight: Why did you bring that here!? Owlicious come back! *Chases after him*

Angelo: It was spikes idea!

Spike: Oh no don't drag me into this!

Later...

Twilight: *takes the Piranha plant from Angelo.* Until Owlicious comes back I'm keeping this. I've already trained it to help me can't believe this.

Angelo: Sorry it was an accident I think...

Twilight: Anyway I think you should get a pet to a real one and one that won't electrocute my night time assitant.

Angelo: Got anything in mind?

Twilight: I'm sure Fluttershy does why don't you talk to her tomorrow?

Angelo: Okay I think I will.

Later at Fluttershy's Cottage

Fluttershy: *waking up* Oh my what happened?

Angelo: *dabbing her head* Easy you okay?

Fluttershy: oh I'm okay I think.

Angelo: Anyway you passed out when I tapped your shoulder and you turned around. *he was bloodied up.

Fluttershy: Oh no what happened!?

Angelo: Your animals thought I hurt you and went crazy I have no idea where that rabbit got a chainsaw but that's a tale for another day.

Fluttershy: You didn't hurt any of them did you?

Angelo: They are all fine it's more like they let me live honestly. I may not like many animals but I won't hurt them if I can avoid it.

Fluttershy: *smiles* thank you so why are you here?

Angelo: Twilight said I should have a pet of my own she took the plant from me so she wants me to get a real pet of my own. She says I spend to much time by myself.

Fluttershy: Um... well not to be rude but you kinda do.

Angelo: Really?

Fluttershy: *Flinches a little* Y-yeah this is the first time I've ever spoken to you alone since you came here and that was almost a month ago.

Angelo: has it really been that long? Huh... I guess I'm just used to being all by myself.

Fluttershy: Why?

Angelo: *rubs the back of his head* It's a long story but to put it simply I don't got time for friends anymore can I tell you a secert?

Fluttershy: if you want I suppose.

Angelo: I plan on leaving this place as soon as I can I've been working on it actually I don't belong here I'm not welcome in this time as you can see from when we first met I don't like being around others not anymore anyway not since the solstice.

Fluttershy: Which one?

Angelo: Summer I suppose.

Fluttershy: That's coming up soon I think. Listen... while your here I think you really could use a pet no pony should be alone.

Angelo: Hmm you think so?

Fluttershy: *nods her head* Just leave it all to doctor fluttershy she'll make everything better.

Angelo: So your a doctor too huh?

Fluttershy: *meeps and blushes* Wha no no I didn't mean that I'm just saying that-

Angelo: *rubs her head* Easy just teasing okay so what you got in mind Fluttershy?

Fluttershy: *beams* follow me.

in her garden Fluttershy had almost every kind of animal under the sun. You name it and it was there more or less problem was Angelo didn't excatly have normal tastes.

Angelo: Hmm... I need an animal with a lot of stamina I need something that can keep up with me so it has to be fairly quick. It needs to be able to fuction on little to no sleep as I do the same I hate sleeping so I keep myself busy late at night. Plus I need it to be able to help me with my projects and finally it has to be brave I do dangerous stuff from time to time so I don't want to it always scared is there any animal here that can do all that?

Fluttershy: I'm afraid not I'm sorry I couldn't help.

Angelo: It's fine Fluttershy I'm not a picky person I just need to be sure that whatever pet I get it can keep up with me is all. Laters. *he leaves*

Fluttershy: Oh dear. *she thinks* (There must be a pet that can keep up with him.)

She gets an idea

Fluttershy: Of course a Froggy bottom viper! They are quick loyal, brave and don't need much sleep that will be perfect! *She flies off*

Angelo returns to the Libary and plops on Twilight's bed as she worked at her desk.

Twilight: Any luck?

Angelo: Nope my standards are to high for the animals Fluttershy had.

Twilight: Hey Angelo can I ask you something?

Angelo: Shoot.

Twilight: If you are Celestia's son why is there no record of that at all?

Angel: I was born during Discord's rule and "died" during the time Luna became Nightmare moon but to defeat her Discord had to fall from the throne.

Twilight: Then I have another question.

Angelo: Yeah?

Twilight: What was the princess like back then?

Angelo: I wasn't around for long but I suppose I know a few things. At first she was a lot like you eager to learn but not from books she loved learning through experiences though she always had a book with her while she tried new things. Archery monster slaying healing dancing, she did it all she had to really. In order to get into Discord's court and rise out of the mire of chaos he had created you had to prove to him you were worth his time she did that. Luna was still a little filly little more then a foal really and Discord wanted to harness that might for himself. As you know (And I've learned.) Foals have an amazing wellspring of power inside of them Discord used Luna's magic dip the entire world in chaos it was then that Celestia knew he had to be stopped but she needed the elements to do that. Course she didn't know what they were yet. A prophet came to her and offered her a scroll on it was a spell that could transform her pure heart into raw power. But to use this power she had two do two things first she had to offer up the most important thing to her and two she had to become a goddess which meant she could never be what she wanted most in the whole world. To save Luna from Discord and purge the world of his chaos she agreed.

Twilight: What price did she pay?

Angelo: Me and the opportunity to raise me I am Discord's bane the sacrifice of me purified her soul and she became the goddess you see today her love for me split into 6 elements she kept 3 and gave 3 to Luna. By sacrifice I mean that she gave me to a noble family to raise and I only learned she was my mother a few years for I went to war I am still bitter about that too.

Twilight: Wow...

Angelo: I'm sure there is more to this tale but she hasn't told me yet. *picks up a really long scroll and continues reading it.*

Twilight: No wonder you've been up so late lately.

Angelo: Yeah still got more to read honestly. I don't doubt you for not beliving I'm really her son I appeared as a relic of the past after all. My history is very complicated but make no mistake I am her son and I don't have to prove that any pony. I want to be at her side but I can't.

Twilight: What's stopping you?

Angelo: Father time I will die in to soon to bother getting her hopes up again that's why I plan to get out of here while I can.

Twilight: But you found her after all these years why are you going?

Angelo: You and your friends let the earth dragon rob me of my powers and and mother my godhood to save Luna. I can't stay I won't make my mother watch me die before her eyes it's to cruel a fate it was bad enough I came back. *Sighs* I don't belong here I just need to get out of here enjoy the mortality thrust upon me while I have it. Without my sword... I am no knight. *he leaves the libary*

Twilight: *her ears droop* (I didn't know... we did all that this is terrible.)

The prince of naught left the libary and the town behind he needed to distance himself from the ponies that f*cked up his life he wondered on until he found the froggy bottom bog.

Angelo: *looks in the murky water and dips his hoof into it* Bubble goop it's been forever since I've seen a swamp. *he sits on the shore and watches the bubbling water and lets his mind wander to the last time he was in a swamp.*

1200 years ago shortly after discords fall and he began his knight training

Angel: *in a human form* Max Kaede keep up!

Max the Coyote: *Wearing an opera mask* Yah yah I heard yah! *Firing bombs backwards at their attackers.*

Kaede the neko witch: What did you do this time Angelo!?

Anthony: Peace fair witch I merely borrowed their national treasure. *ducks just in time as a massive rock is thrown at him by a Troll.*

Troll: Return what you hath stolen pony!

Angelo: No can do big boy we need it more then you do! *Holds up what he stole it was a topaz orb and he pushed it to his forehead* Oh blessed power for the distance past I beseech the to unleash thy might. I call forth the power of the sacred earth. *he tosses it up into the air* The hammer of kings! *The orb shifts into a massive hammer and he catches it and his body glows brightly then grows larger into a hulking creature with a long tail studded with with crystals.* Terra's call!

Troll: *stops in his tracks* My lord! *kneels before Angelo as well as those with him.*

Angelo: *shoulders the hammer and puts his new hand on the Troll's shoulder* My boy you have done well to protect this hammer but the time has come for the outcasts to leave the underground.

Troll: But my king you told us to let known take your hammer with it's raw might our enemies can forge powerful weapons the earth dragon will not be pleased!

Angelo: Times have changed this child that weilds my hammer has proven worthy to lead my people to victory did you not hear the holy verse he recited to summon me forth? Though he speaks with my voices It is truly I your king that stands before you. I will leave the fight up to him follow his orders I will guide him my time grows short we will have our paradise back!

The swamp horde cheers and Angelo shifts forms returning to his human form only he was taller then before with a brown flank green mane and blue eyes and the hammer shrank to a more mangeable size plus he had a goatee.

Troll: *laughs* It is no Dwarven beard but it is a fine start my king we are yours to command!

Angelo: *feels his face and smiles* Yeah I'll work on that okay guys you heard your king we will get your paradise back but we need to rest of the orbs first! I Angelo Stargiver Son of Starswhirl the bearded will lead you victory! *The hammer turns into an orb once more and he returns to nromal as well he pushes the orb against the dagger he had with him and it shrinks down to a small gem that fits in one of the slots on the dagger and he puts it away* Lets go to victory!

All: To Victory!

Back in the present.

Angelo: To victory... those were the days I miss that hammer and my sword just as much. *he flips a rock over several times to distract himself but without much luck.

Before he knew it the sun was going down to depressed to even move he laid his head down in a some grass nearby and feel asleep he was woken up the following morning by someong tapping his head.

Fluttershy: Anthony?

Anthony: *sits up the side of his face caked with mud* Oh hey Fluttershy.

Fluttershy: What are you doing out here?

Anthony: Nothing... *wipes off what he can* Nothing at all what about you?

Fluttershy: I'm taking some frogs back to the swamp I do it twice a year they grow up so fast after all.

Anthony: Yeah...

Fluttershy: You shouldn't stay here the hydra stalks about this time of day I'll give you a ride back to town when I'm done. *she flies off for he can object*

Anthony: Well that won't do I suppose should get out of here she'll find me when she's done. *he walks for a few minutes when he hears a scream* Fluttershy? *he hears another louder scream and gallops after it.*

Fluttershy: Help! *flying around trying to get away from the hydra*

Anthony: hold on I'm coming!

Fluttershy: Go away Anthony it's after me!

Anthony: Why?

Fluttershy: I crushed a dud egg when I put my wagon down I tried to apologize but it's way to mad to soothe!

Anthony: *he bites the hydra's tail and it drags him through the mud he grabs it and pulls trying to slow it down a bit* I won't let you die for a mistake! *he pulls harder* (It's no good I don't have the power to do this alone!) *he yanks his dagger free and stabs the hydra's tail with it*

The Hydra roars and stops flinging it's tail as it turns around sending him into a nearby tree he climbs to the top of it and points his dagger at it.

Anthony: Leave her alone it was an accident!

The hydra roars and tries to bite him he jumps from head to head and slides down it's back and off it's tail he landed however in the thicker part of the swamp and had to half walk and swim through the area he was in.

Anthony: (I'm moving to slow!)

The hydra catches him in it's mouth and tries to crush him he pushes against it as hard as he can. The teeth were cutting into his hooves but he refused to give up.

Anthony: I will... not fall like this you hear me you can't stop me! *he pushes harder and lifts the mouth up enough to escape and falls into the muddy water and vanishes beneath the waves the hydra stomps about and waits satisfied he was dead it returned to it's nest it was then he bubbled up to the surface and gasps just before sufficaticating he swam away from the hydra as fast as he could and pulled his battered body onto a rock nearby.* Guess you don't have to be a god to get out trouble after all. *panting he gripped the rock with his bleeding body to weak to move he started slipping under the water again but something slipped under him and carried him away from the rock he passed out.*

A bit later he was woken up to the feeling of something licking him he opened his eyes and saw... a hydra but this one was different it was no bigger then AJ's dog Winonia and it only had 3 heads the center one had blue eyes the left red and the right yellow.

Anthony: You saved me?

The 3 heads nodded and looked at him curiously he looked closer and noticed the middle head had something on it's head.

Anthony: *takes it off and looks it over* Egg shell... you must have been in the egg Fluttershy cracked open... *he moves his hoof from left to right and the heads follow it* I was the first thing you saw though... after the hydra left.

Baby hydra: *nuzzles up against him with all 3 heads*

Anthony: Well I'm not leaving you here your mother would never take you back either not after I've touched you. Still... I think you'll do just fine. Now then what to call you.

The 3 heads acted differently he noticed the blue one was alert and looked at the world around it the red one tried to lead the others and was snapping about at bugs flying around and the last one
was calm and collected steeling it's self when it heard a unfamilar sound nearby.

Anthony: Power... Wisdom and Courage... Triforce! That's your name it's perfect.

Triforce: *looks at him curiously and follows him back to ponyville cheerfully looking around the world around it as it went unknown to both the Hydra has discovered it's child survived...

Rainbow dash: Keep up Tank!

Tank the Turtle: *Flies after her but comes to a stop when he see's Triforce*

Rainbow dash: *slams into Tank.* Ow what's up Tank? *she looks past him* Is that a hydra!?

Anthony: Yep.

Rainbow dash: Whoa what happened to you.

Anthony: Fluttershy happened to me.

Rainbow dash: Eh?

Anthony: Can I use your shower?

Rainbow dash: Uh yeah hold on a sec. *she flies up and grabs one of Anthony's clouds and he gets on it along with Hydra and pushes them up to her house which she redid the floors with his special clouds with.* Go on in just don't lean against the walls.

Anthony: I know. *he goes to the bathroom and showers up as Triforce looks around the room*

Rainbow dash: So uh... why do you have a hydra?

Anthony: It's my new pet I call it Triforce haven't figured out the gender yet.

Rainbow dash: Yeah um why?

Anthony: It saved my life I ran into it's mother and she wasn't happy nearly ate me I escaped barely and Triforce saved me from drowning in the swamp I was the first thing it saw I knew the mother wouldn't take it back and I wasn't about to leave it all alone.

Rainbow dash: Yeah... I know the feeling. *rubs Tank's shell.*

He comes out of the shower soon after and treats his wounds then bandages his hooves.

Rainbow dash: Wow your pretty good at that.

Anthony: You pick up all kind of skills when your on your own for so many years.

Rainbow dash: Why is that?

Anthony: I don't being around people not after what happened years ago.

Rainbow dash: What was that?

Anthony: Another time. I need to get Triforce home and find a book on raising them I'm Sure Twilight has one in the libary somewhere thanks again.

Rainbow dash: Oh sure I should thank you I can have more company now and I don't have to worry about Tank falling off anymore.

Anthony nods and leaves with her help then heads for the libary.

Anthony: Twilight I'm back.

Twilight: There you are you didn't come home last night.

Anthony: I was busy at the swamp.

Twilight: The froggy bottom bog?

Anthony: Yep I found a pet.

Twilight: Oh good for you lets see it.

Anthony: *puts Triforce on the table and she jumps*

Twilight: Is that a hydra!?

Anthony: Your the book worm you tell me.

Twilight: Why did you bring that here don't you know how protective Hydras are of their pups!?

Anthony: She tought it was dead fluttershy crushed Triforce's egg with her cart.

Twilight: Triforce... you already named it oh this is bad...

Anthony: It gets worse it saw me first.

Twilight: The hydra didn't see you did she?

Anthony: She did but she thinks I'm dead hence my injuries. *holds up his hooves and the she sees the other bruises he got* she figures she stomped me to death.

Spike: Apprently she thinks your a zombie.

Twilight: Why say that?

Spike: she's coming this way and she's really mad.

Anthony: Well I picked a bad time to lose my powers and skills.

Twilight: Not again.

Anthony: this has happened before?

Twilight: Yeah.

Anthony: Well how did you stop it last time.

Twilight: We didn't we just got away from it.

Anthony: Well I'm not giving up Triforce it's bonded to me separating will kill it at this stage in it's life.

Twilight: I don't know what do I got lucky the last time I stopped something that big it was just a baby and easy to fight that is grown up.

Anthony: I have to put it down then.

Twilight: I'd rather you did but you think you can do it?

Anthony: It's the hydra or the town just get everyone out of town I think I still got one more ace up my sleeve Twilight.

Twilight: Be careful and don't die okay?

Anthony: Yeah got it.

After the town was evacuated he stood on the tallest hill in town and the hydra made a beeline for him.

Anthony: Okay... here goes everything. *he strains focusing* Come on come on...

The hydra was baring down on him its rams the Libary and demolishes it.

Anthony: (I can't do it I don't got any power left.)

Triforce: *squeals in distress trying to get out of Fluttershy's hooves and the hydra ignores him and heads for her and the others*

Anthony: No! *Screams as his body glows brightly* DNA pinball! *his body bursts apart into balls of light and slam into the hydra making pinball machine noises and he recombines and finishes but punching it in the face with his left front hoove it flies back and flies for the bog it won't be back any time soon.* I still got it...

He falls out of the air and Rainbow dash catches him.

Rainbow dash: That was awesome!

Anthony: First time I used that without killing something too...

The present.

... and that is how it happened Anthony stopped the hydra but it wrecked the libary it's being repaired but we need a place to stay let me know soon princess.

Your faithful student Twilight Sparkle


Twilight finishes and looks up from the park table she had been writing at to see Anthony Spike Peewee and Triforce all curled up on a blanket nearby sleeping under the stars. She smiles at this scene.

Twilight: (Maybe I'll wait for morning to have Spike send the letter.)

Chapter 4

Home coming

Anthony: *in a chariot bound for the Canterlot Castle* you used to live in the castle?

Twilight: yep I asked the princess if I could have it back while the libary is being replaced.

Anthony: That's all fine and dandy but why didn't you tell me first? I am trying to stay away from Celestia remember?

Twilight: She's your mother mortal or not you should spend a little time with her sides it's not for very long you can meet Luna and my brother.

Anthony: Your brother?

Twilight: *nods her head* Yep he's trying to get into the the royal guard my parents are to busy right now so that isn't an option.

Anthony: Huh your brother married?

Twilight: No why did you ask?

Anthony: No reason... (Why did I ask? Is that important or something?)

They soon arrived at the royal sky port where pegasus ponies carrying carts on clouds were unloading and loading up items to and come from over seas and around the kingdom.

Anthony: Wow it's quite a sight.

Twilight: Indeed the Royal sky port or Valor's edge was named after the General that designed the concept of not only the port but the wagons and cloud trucks the pegasus use to deliever goods.

Anthony: Well it's like they say necessity is the mother of all invention it was for a war right?

Twilight: *leads the way to the castle slowly so they can chat* That's right it was the last Equestrian war in recorded history well over 200 years ago the last war if you can call it that was the parasprite invasion of 64 my friend Apple Jack's Grandma fought in it to keep her apple farm safe.

Anthony: Impressive that reminds me where is Spike and the our pets?

Twilight: Spike is taking them on ahead I wanted to show you around Canterlot more first.

Anthony: alright then lets do it.

As Twilight showed him around neither was aware they were being watched.

Luna: *using her magic to enhance her eye sight* Hmm... so that's Angelo.

The princess of the night took a break from watching them she had been observing them since ponyville she yawned she didn't like being up during the day but today was special she wanted to meet her Nephew her real nephew.

Luna: He's a lot more interesting then Blue blood I'll say that much.

She looked in a mirror nearby and groans softly. Being awake during the day had forced her to revert to her standard form it was only when bathed in the moons light did she assume her true royal form much like Celestia used to do before she infused her body with the elements before Anthony drained her magic she stayed in her basic state at all hours of the day now but Luna was confident in time she'd return to her goddess state like she does every night for now though at least she didn't intimidate ponies with her size and she hadn't been up during the day in awhile either.

Luna: Hmm... *she was trying to figure out what to do next Twilight and Anthony wouldn't be to the castle for at least another hour with the route they were taking and she wasn't really in a talkative mood.

????: Luna!

Well almost...

Luna: *groans* Shut up already!

????: Oh come on now you've been ignoring me for days now!

Luna: I don't want to hear it Selena!

Selena: *purses her lips making a duck face* You don't have to be snappy. *moves into view from Luna's Mirror it was Nightmare moon or rather what remained of her as she takes off her helmet revealing her beautiful face*

Luna: Why won't you just leave me alone already your defeated you can never take me over again.

Selena: I know that but I get lonly in here I've already shifted through all your memories. Imagine me the great Nightmare moon reduced to a figment of your mind it's the only way I can stay connected to this plan I don't deserve that title anymore either Selena is my fate now.

Luna: I really don't want to hear it right now.

Selena: Well I got some juicy info for you.

Luna: *she sighs* Alright what is it?

Selena: As you know I only know what you know but I can project myself in other mirrors now and again though this one is my anchor to existance. I was spying in Twilight's mirror and over heard that it was Angelo that defeated the hydra with get this a modified version of Ragnarok.

Luna: Ragnarok... the pegeasus energy combo?

Selena: Indeed it seems in a time of desperation he unleashed some of Celestia's stolen power to do so the elements are still gone but it seems he kept a tiny fraction for himself.

Luna: That's good news it means he has the potential to learn new arts hmm maybe this dinner party won't be so boring after all.

Selena: Also Celestia is coming to wake you up soon so heads up. *she vanishes from the mirror as Luna hears Celestia coming down the hallway Luna hops back into bed.*

Celestia: Luna? *she opens the door and moves over to the bed* Luna wake up.

Luna: *groans and rolls over*

Celestia: *uses her magic to tug the blankets off* Come on now we need to prepare for their arrival.

Luna: Tia go away I'm sleepy...

Celestia: *lifts Luna out of the bed and stands her up* I know but this will be the first time Angelo was home proper in a very long time.

Luna: *yawns* so what you got in mind then?

Celestia: Well I'm not sure the last time I saw him he was when he was very small. *sighs*

Luna: Lets just start with the basics how big you want this party to be?

Celestia: Well nothing to special of course I feel it's best we keep the fact he is my son under wraps but I want it to be special all the same.

Luna: Hmm... ah I know a pinkie pie special.

Celestia: Oh of course that is the perfect amount but what should be the reason?

Luna: Well he did save ponyville right? Say it's to thank him for his heroics.

Celestia: *claps her hooves together* Oh yes that's perfect Luna thank you sis come on lets get to work.

Luna: *giggles* Coming Tia.

Back in town Twilight and Anthony had arrived in the castle gates.

Twilight: This is the castle gardens where the princess keeps her statues that she has commissioned collected and received over the years.

Anthony: *stops before the statue of discord.* What's up with this one?

Twilight: Just ignore that one trust me.

Anthony: Huh... cool design. *follows her on*

Twilight: Wait... *she stops at a new statue*

Anthony: What's up?

Twilight: This looks like my brother.

Anthony: Really? huh... He's got a strong build for a Unicorn.

Twilight: yes but this can't be him.

????: And why not?

They both turn around and Twilight gasps it was her brother alright but he was wearing a Captian's uniform.

Twilight: You got in!

Shining armor: Yep and I'm also captian of the guard.

Twilight: Captain!? No way that's awesome why didn't you tell me?

Shining armor: Just happened a few days ago didn't have time.

Twilight: This is Anthony he's my guest.

Shining armor: Pleasure to meet you.

Anthony: *doesn't respond*

Shining armor: *laughs nervously* He doesn't talk much does he?

Twilight: No... You said your the captian right?

Shining armor: That's right?

Anthony: *glaring a little*

Twilight: I think he doesn't like the fact that you are the head figure of authority he has issues with authority I'm guessing.

Shining armor: I see... I'll catch up with you later sis bye.

He leaves.

Twilight: What is the matter with you?

Anthony: He looks excatly the bastard that let the horses of my world to conquer everything you'll have to forgive me if that doesn't piss me off a little. *he heads for the castle doors*

Twilight: (Oh boy so much for this going smoothly.) *She writes a few notes in a book she is making about him and follows him in where they are allowed to enter.*

The guards opened the front doors for them and they are allowed in. The quickest path to the libary was closed off for cleaning so they had to loop through the gala room to get to it there they both got a surprise. What seemed like the entire palace staff all yelled surprise when Anthony walked it was the party Celestia was planning.

Celestia: Welcome home Angelo.

Anthony: *Cletching his chest from the shock but he looks up and smiles* Wow you got me good.

Celestia: I try it's so good to see you back where you belong.

Twilight: Princess did you set up this party?

Celestia: Well I tried but a certian pink pony over heard me somehow and brought all your friends with her. *moves out of the way where the rest of Twilight's friends were there with a few presents.

Anthony: What are the presents for?

Celestia: Did you forget already? Your birth day.

Anthony: My birthday? But that's not until halloween.

Celestia: Actually I did some research along with Twilight based on the info you gave us about how long you were out in space we deduced that while your birth insist until a few days before Nightmare night you have would enjoy this party all the same call it a half way birthday.

Anthony: Huh that is true still thanks.

Celestia: Of course your going to love your actual party it will put the gala to shame now come I want to show you around.

Twilight: Go on we'll see you soon.

Anthony: Uh... well okay then. *Follows Celestia*

Twilight: *Goes over to her friends* Hey girls.

Rainbow dash: Oh sup Twilight so did he like it?

Twilight: Yeah he is a bit confused though.

Rarity: Of course it is rather silly having a half birthday party.

Pinkie pie: Nah uh no way! My cusion visits every fall but his birthday is in the spring so we have his half birthday party when the family can get together in ponyville!

Fluttershy: Besides every pony is excited to see him.

Apple Jack: *she looks behind her and sucks her teeth a little* Well not everypony...

Coming into the throne room was Prince blue blood and his entourage of personal guards.

Blueblood: What is going on here?

Maid: Oh hello prince blueblood we are celebrating.

Blueblood: What excatly?

Maid: It's a party for the hero of ponyvile he stopped it from behind destroyed the other day.

Blueblood: *Scoffs* Riveting have you seen my aunt?

Maid: Yes Celestia is talking to him.

Blueblood: Good I need her approval on a few budget cuts. *walks over to Celestia* Auntie.

Celestia: Hmm? *turns her head* Oh Blueblood hello can I help you?

Blueblood: *one of his guards pushes Anthony out of the way.* Yes I am here to get your approval about the budget cuts to the wonderbolts it is about the hiring freeze I spoke of at Dinner last night we simply can't authorize more squad members until the new tax laws are finalized as to much money is coming in to their organization then out it will be a burden to us financially.

Celestia: It may be a burden but I don't feel that is the best idea the wonderbolts have considered allowing Rainbow dash to join them and it means a lot to her.

Rainbow dash: *Flies over* The wonder bolts want me to join their team!?

Celestia: Indeed I was going tell you in a bit.

Rainbow dash: *squeals* Oh my gosh oh my gosh oh my gosh!

Blueblood: I am sorry to bring this up then but observe. *Shows Celestia a scroll with recent expensives on this* I am not cruel but as you can see this cut effects a lot of other businesses as well the wonderbolts have tailors, cloud creators, promoters... it goes on if we don't issue the hiring freeze then these businesses will need more workers as well and the hiring freezes that have already been put in place for those will have to be negated it will be a mess shorting it out I'm sorry but as you agreed for those businesses I believe the hiring freeze should also go for the next 4 years.

Rainbow dash: Four years!? No way!

Celestia: *sighs* I guess... you are right Blue blood I authorize the hiring freeze.

Rainbow dash: *stops flapping her wings and falls to the ground out cold*

Celestia: Oh dear.

As Dash is carried away Anthony bumps blue blood while trying to follow her.

Blueblood's guard: Step away from the prince.

Anthony: Prince?

Blueblood's guard: You stand before Blueblood the 54th Prince of Equestria.

Anthony: *Looks Blueblood over* What cowlick here?

Blueblood: I beg your pardon!? You are not in a possession to be judging one on apperance look at you messy mane caked with mud how did you even get inside? In the future clean up yourself for you judge how others look. *leaves*

Anthony: *looks himself over* Huh... much as I hate to admit it he is right I'm a mess from fighting the hydra yesterday.

Celestia: Yes I was so excited to see you again I forgot to suggest you clean up first.

Anthony: Is he another of your sons?

Celestia: No he is my nephew the closest blood relative of mine other then Luna before you came back.

Anthony: *looks in a mirror nearby* I'm not much of a prince am I? I hear the servants talking some are worried your starting to go senile throwing a party for a simple hero of ponyville that town is under attack all the time.

Celestia: Hmm that is a good point but I don't know how my subjects would take the news of you being the real prince of Equestria let alone my son too.

Anthony: We still haven't synced up yet either.

Celestia: Yes that's a good idea I want to know what has happened come.

As they leave the room Blueblood curious follows them after excusing his guards.

Blueblood: (What is this about a son?)

Anthony and Celestia move to her study where they sit on some floor pillows.

Celestia: Now how do you want to do it?

Anthony: Through my core it's been while since I examined it.

Celestia: You need help?

Anthony: Yeah might be a good idea.

Blueblood: *cracks the door and watches*

Celestia: *her horn grows dimmly and she sings softly it sounds a bit like a latin chant.

Anthony: *A dazzing light appears in his chest and a large orb connected to a chain comes out of it and floats before them the light dies down a bit revealing a glowing orb with a heart shaped crystal inside pumping softly* It's just fine even after reentry and fighting the hydra.

Celestia: I'm glad it is your very soul after all you tether to the waking world.

Anthony: *holds the chain* Amazing really such a fragile little chain is all that seperates me from the land of nod.

Blueblood: (The land of nod... the after life?)

Celestia: *Smiles* If anypony needed more proof that you were my son then this I'd call them a fool I too have a Dracon core as well it's what makes me a goddess and you two my dear son will regain your powers soon enough.

Blueblood: (Son!? That fool is her son!?)

Anthony: Can I see your core?

Celestia: Do you know the chant?

Anthony: I know the modern lyrics.

Celestia: Go ahead I have longed to see my core once more.

Anthony: *nods his head and sings*

Let... the river run... let all the dreamers wake the nation come... the new Jerusalem...

Silver cities rise... the morning lights... the streets that greet them... sirens call them on with a song.

Celestia's body grew with the familar light and her core comes out as well but her chain was much thicker and her core pulsed with energy while his faintly glowed.

Celestia: Hmm it seems my tether to this world is much thicker then yours.

Anthony: Well yeah I'm mortal again after all what with the elements gone. Now then lets sync up.

He holds up both core and pushes them against each other images pop up around them all events from their lives and swirl around them then reenter the cores letting both instantly know everything the other dos.

Celestia: Hmm... it's not a perfect sync.

Anthony: Course not I'm mortal a full sync would kill me did the link establish though.

Celestia: Lets see. *both close their eyes and speak into the others mind* (Can you hear me?)

Anthony: (Yep that worked at least good now we can catch up when we have the time proper we'll be dreaming through this memories for awhile now.)

Celestia: *speaking again as she opens her eyes* Good we are all set then. *puts her core back and he does the same* Angelo my sweet little boy... *rubs his face* look at how you've grown up. I'm sorry I wasn't around to watch you become a fine Stallion.

Anthony: It's okay really I have no place in this kingdom anyway.

Celestia: But I don't want you to leave again I want you to stay here with me I want you to be the prince you should have been!

Blueblood: (Prince... Son!?) *he panicks and flees*

Anthony: *stands up* Isn't there already a prince? Plus how will you prove to every pony that I am your son look at us we look nothing alike anymore.

Celestia: I admit I have changed a bit...

Anthony: a bit? Mother you used to have a pink mane and flank!

Celestia: That is true but I started off looking just like you though.

Anthony: Green mane brown flank blue eyes... Yeah maybe but that was before you gained your goddess powers and started to grow as such as for me I lost my power over dreams when your little hit squad attacked me.

Celestia: It was an accident we didn't know who you were.

Anthony: I'm not angry about losing my powers just scared it was bad enough you had to lose me once. Now I'm starting to age what if we can't get my powers back? I can't let you watch me disappear again that's why I must leave this world as soon as possible I can't bear to see you cry again.

Celestia: *pulls him back onto his pillow with her magic* Wait please I don't care that your mortal really and if you don't want to be the prince I understand just... don't go away again okay? We'll find those elements we'll get your immortality back just don't leave me again.

Anthony: *Sighs and rubs his head* 2 years.

Celestia: What?

Anthony: 2 years I'll be 21 then and be legal to do anything I desire if the laws haven't changed. When I become a true Stallion at the age of 21 I will leave as is my right until then... I am still in your care.

Celestia: *hugs him* Oh thank you you have no idea how much this means to me.

Anthony: *pats her shoulder* easy mother your Humanity is showing.

Celestia: *blushes and lets go clearing her throat* Right sorry.

Anthony: It's cool so lets get back to the party shall we?

Celestia: Indeed. *walks side by side with him trying with little luck to contain her excitement.

That night the mane six joined the royal family at the dinner table.

Anthony: *looking over a cape Luna gave him* Did you make this?

Luna: *nods her head* As a filly I designed it for special ceremonies to wear but I had a feeling that you'd enough it more.

Anthony: Yeah your right I will. *he folds it into a bandanna and ties it onto his head keeping the tips in the back and tucks most of the spiky parts of his mane under it save for one or two of his bangs* It fits perfectly thanks was getting tired of trying to slick it back every time I shower.

Rarity: Speaking of shower it's amazing what a bath can you do you look so Regal now.

Anthony: That's the handy work of the castle dresser really but thanks.

Blueblood: *gritting his teeth a little bit as he eats*

Luna: I am a bit confused though. If your name is Angelo why do you insist on everyone calling you Anthony?

Anthony: Ah now that is an interesting tale. You see the planet I landed on after the fates spirited me away was ruled by dragons. It was a place called Terra. On that world the dragons were few by mighty even new borns had the power to wipe out entire cities. But the dragons were a friendly lot they isolated themselves from the rest of the world on their island with a magical hurricane so no one attempting to gain power could cease it. The air on that island is brimming with magic in fact just stepping onto it will slowly turn you into a dragon.

Twilight: That explains why you were a dragon when you first arrived.

Anthony: Indeed and why I had the power to steal Celestia's magic I was able to suck it up like a vacuum but your elements stole that power from me and fled so here I am.

Blueblood: *lifts his head up* What are these... elements you speak of? You don't mean the elements of harmony do you?

Anthony: Yes actually when I first arrived there was a misunderstanding and the girls used the elements on me the backlash of power syphoned out my power and what I took from Celestia and they scattered themselves to different worlds.

Pinkie pie: You've mentioned other worlds before what do you mean excatly?

Anthony: Well... It goes like this...

And from there Anthony explained everything. Long ago way before Celestia was born there existed a powerful being called the Weaver. The weaver was a celestial creature with the power to create anything it desired. It created world after world creature after creature and began life was we know it. But there was a problem so many creatures and worlds... it was to much it knew there would be trouble when they became sentient. So it got an idea. I created a special magical device roughly called the Barrier of worlds it's true name has been lost. This barrier filtered the creatures and worlds onto various planes of existance like alternate dimensions and parallels. By doing so the creatures could develop freely regulated by the barrier. During the course of his absence from Equestria Anthony journyed with familar heroes of other worlds to find the pieces of the shattered barrier and fix it to stablize the worlds after it was over they seperated never to see each other again and Anthony took the barrier with him to find a spot deep in space where it wouldn't be bothered again. But while flying by Equestria he was attacked and it shattered once more in time several worlds all in Equestria's excat orbit will try to merge into existance there and this will cause them to collaspe and die it will only get worse after that happens it means the end if they can't find the barrier shards.

Anthony: *Finishing his tale* as for why I perfer to be called Anthony. He was the one who raised me a child of a goddess just like myself only he sacrificed his life his lover and everything he held dear to make sure the evils that over took his planet could never escape so I call myself that name in honor of him.

Their reactions were about what he expected looks of shock a few of confusion Pinkie's was interesting. It's that Oh I get! wait... do I? Kinda look when you think you know what someone just said but not really... yeah.

Apple Jack: Ya'll sure your not talking about a dream you had?

Twilight: AJ!

Apple Jack: Sorry Twi it's just... that's a lot to take in at once ya know?

Blueblood: It does sound a little... psychotic.

Anthony: You don't have to believe me but that's the truth.

Luna: It's amazing.

Celestia: Yes it is.

Soon after the dinner ended and the last part of Anthony's party began.

Anthony: A dance?

Celestia: Yes as is Royal custom celebrations like this finish up with a dance.

Anthony: Okay what kind?

Celestia: Ball room.

Anthony: Of course...

Celestia: something wrong?

Anthony: I can't ball room anything.

Celestia: Don't worry I have the perfect teacher for you. *she leaves to get ready*

Anthony: Ah man ball room not my idea of fun.

So after being prepared by the same dressers as before he went to the castle ball room lots of ponies were there and he asks a maid what was going on.

Maid: The castle ball room was rented out tonight in advance a few weeks ago is that a problem?

Anthony: Not at all just... wow that's a lot of ponies.

Maid: It holds 1000 comfortably.

Anthony: Good to know. (Yikes I hope there aren't that many here.)

He starts to walk down the steps when there is some fan fare.

Guard: Arriving now Angelo son of Celestia and Prince of the Hitherlands!

Everyone stopped and turned looking right at him.

Anthony: *gulps* Prince... of the what now?

Guard: Why it's the Ever free forest area sure you control the largest area of land in the entire kingdom!

Anthony: I do?

It didn't take long before he was being swarmed by nobles all asking questions about with things like cutting away parts of the forest to build or personal questions like why he hasn't been talked about before.

Luna: *watching Blueblood smile* What did you do Blueblood!?

Blueblood: *Chuckles* Dear Aunt Luna it was only a matter of time before ponies discovered he was Celestia's son he isn't excatly subtle and since he doesn't want my title as prince of all Equestria I figured the least I could do is spread the word that he is in charge of the ever free forest.

Luna: The ever free forest stretches on for over 600 miles from it's farthest points!

Blue blood: Why do you think no pony has ever heard of him? It's a big job monitoring a forest that big after all. Though it's a pity he had to retire when an accident cost him his wings and horn I'm sure you noticed those scars after all.

Luna: *Furious but she thinks back to the meeting at the table he did have horrible scars where his wings and horn should have been*

Blue blood: Celestia's work I'm sure makes it more believable that he is indeed her son. Judge me how you will but I did him a favor let the storm rage now while we can control then then show up when we least expect it. I only have Celestia's best interests in mind. *he leaves*

Luna: (I hate to admit it but... he may have done the right thing.)

Anthony: *yanked away by most of the grounds Via Twilight who lifted him up into the air and over to where she was*

Twilight: What happened?

Anthony: Somepony found out I'm Celestia's son and I 'mthe prince of the hitherlands or something!

Twilight: Hitherlands? the everfree forest?

Anthony: Yeah we have to get out of here for there is a riot!

Twilight: Okay lets get you out of here.

Anthony: Yeah I'll start us off. *whistles loudly and a cloud flies into the room and he hops on it and pulls Twilight up onto it* Go! Neko! *Small cat like ears pop up on the cloud along with a little tail and it flies out the window however that wasn't the end of this chase* Pegasus Nobles figures.

Twilight: *hold on for dear life* The hell is this thing!?

Anthony: Oh this is Neko it's a cloud I made with an AI.

Twilight: AI... Artifical intelligence? Grey beard theorized it in his lexicons.

Anthony: Yeah well I figured it out.

Twilight: Is there anything you can't do?

Anthony: I can't steer.

Twilight: Eh!?

Anthony: I didn't program that in yet!

Twilight: ARe you insane!?

Anthony: Legally.

So Neko flew on dodging the pursuing nobles and those that worked for them to track them down.

Anthony: Truck stop!

Neko: *slams to a sudden halt fling Twilight off but Anthony catches her and pulls her back as the pegasus fly past them*

Anthony: Home!

Neko: *takes off for ponyville.*

Twilight: What the heck was that!

Anthony: It's the command for a complete stop we should be back soon.

They soon arrived in ponyville and Neko flew off luring the pegasus away as they hide in the libary.

Anthony: And that... is how you wrap up a party Twilight.

Twilight: *out of breath* that was... amazing.

Anthony: Welcome to my life Twilight. *he lays on the bed* Ah man... that was good day.

Twilight: *plops on the bed next to him* Yeah it was wasn't it?

Anthony: *Rubs her head* You keep up with me pretty good.

Twilight: *blushes a little* Yeah it was fun.

Anthony: *he gets off the bed* Okay I'm going to turn in. *he jumps on the cloud he keeps to sleep on which was next to her bed but high in the air* night.

Twilight: Okay night.

Dear Princess Celestia

Anthony and I got back to ponyville without any trouble today was pretty exciting huh? I'm sure the nobles will find us sooner or later but for now we're good. My friends were kinda made we left them behind but they understand how wild things go so no harm done. The more time I spend with him the more I begin to realize that he really is your son. He's so much like you. He's kind adventurous and knows how to keep me on my hooves. But I have yet to become his friend yet none of us have not even pinkie. Do you have any advice for me?

Your faithful student Twilight Sparkle.

Sub chapter 1

Black Magic

Twilight wakes up the next morning to music playing she was still exhausted then she suddenly snaps up.

Twilight: When did the Libary get fixed!?

Anthony: *bobbing along to the music he was listing to with headphones as Spike cooked breakfast*

Spike: Oh hey Twilight the princess had the masons fix it up.

Twilight: the masions? The same mansions that built the castle?

Spike: Yep they made the tree regrow and put in a new floor too.

Twilight: *Notices* huh the roof is lower now that I think about it. *looks up at Anthony* How long as he been listening to music?

Spike: Ah since 7 I had to give him my headphones for some peace and quiet. Good thing that is when I normally get up.

Twilight: What is he listening too?

Spike: No clue he isn't use the record player.

Twilight: I thought we traded up to a cassette player?

Spike: *scoffs* With what money? the only pony who's belt is tighter is AJ.

Twilight: What? but I thought we had plenty of money.

Spike: Get real Twilight no pony has been coming to library lately and whatever spare cash we have you use to order new books face it we're practically broke. I think he has a cassette player its small like one anyway.

Twilight: Anthony!

Anthony: *mouths the words his eyes closed*

Spike: Forget it he's dead to the world Twilight. Breakfast is ready.

Twilight: *worried a little she eats then gets to work reading a new book*

It was around that time a white Unicorn bursts into the libary with her eyes closed.

????: Ah where are they!?

Twilight: Vinal?

Vinal Scratch: I can't find them anywhere!

Spike: what is it?

Vinal: My Lucky shades I can't find them anywhere and my good headphones are missing!

Spike: *is lifted up in the air as Vinal searches under him.* Uh... Vinal they aren't here.

Vinal: No not today why today!

Twilight: What's going on and open your eyes.

Vinal: No way no pony can see my eyes not yet!

Twilight: Okay... well I got some shades Dash gave me just wear those for now you are slamming into everything.

Vinal: Fine.

Twilight: *Floats them over and Vinal puts them on*

Vinal: Thanks

Twilight: Now calm down what is going on?

Vinal: *sighs* Okay here goes. Today Black magic is coming to town he is promoting his new music video and wants the best musical preformer in town to join him in the video and someone jacked my shades and headphones I can't play without those their lucky I've had them since I started my career!

Twilight: We'll help you look.

Spike: Yeah it's not like we got any customers anyway.

Vinal: I appreciate it. *she notices the cloud* What's with the cloud?

TWilight: Oh that's just my roomate An- I mean Aerosol.

Vinal: Aerosol?

Twilight: Y-yeah Aerosol he doesn't come off his cloud very often though.

Vinal: Right... *She leaves and comes back with a rope and ties it to the cloud and drags Anthony outside* Aerosol you keep a look out for my stuff come on. *she ties the robe to herself and drags him along.*

Spike: She does know that Anthony's in a music trance right?

Twilight: *giggles* Nope come on lets help we did say we would.

So the search began. Starting at Sugar cube corner they picked up pinkie then moved to the farm why they aren't sure but Vinal said she would turn the town upside down and in one case she did.

Rainbow dash: I still can't believe it... She flipped my house upside down and emptied it!

Vinal: *Shifted through the debris* Gah they aren't here either!

Rarity: Girls we need to find those fast while we still have town! And why she dragging Anthony around?

Twilight: he's the eye in the sky.

Rainbow dash: *flies up and looks at him* He's jamming out up here.

TWilight: He's been at it since 7 this morning.

Rainbow dash: He's been doing this for 7 hours? Wow that's hard core!

Vinal: Ah ha I know where they are! *She bolts off*

Twilight: Lets go!

Vinal: *breaks a door down* Octavia!

Octavia: *Screams she was in the middle of a shower* Vinal what the hell are you doing!? *she blushes harder when the others see her all mouth agap save for pinkie who just waves*

Pinkie pie: Hi sis!

Octavia: *kicks them all out* I don't have your stuff Vinal! *Locks the door*

Vinal: *brush the dirt out of her hair Octavia had literally kicked her out.* Dang they weren't there either.

Mayor mare: *over park loud speaker* attention all music ponies the compation will begin in 10 minutes please register now.

Vinal: Ah I'm out of time!

Twilight: Go sign up Vinal we'll keep looking.

a half hour passed and Vinal was about to go on.

Rainbow dash: Are these it? *holds up some sunglasses*

Vinal: Ah! *she switches them* Thanks for finding my spare pair they aren't as lucky but I can at least proform I really owe you guys.

Fluttershy: We're sorry we can't find the actual ones.

Vinal: It's alright really it means a lot to me that you were willing to help out all day. You girls are awesome. *Calls up to Anthony* You too!

suddenly a pair of headphones dangles off the cloud and Anthony falls off it onto the ground and they all gasp.

Vinal: My shades! He's been wearing them the whole time!

Rainbow dash: opps... I forgot to mention that...

Vinal: *takes them off and they all look in wonder at his eyes* Their... shifting colors.

Rarity: Goodness he appears to be in a trance.

Spike: *catches the head phones when they fall and the player it was a digital music player brimming with songs he holds the head phones up to his ear* Twi the music is repeating it must have got suck on the same song awhile ago.

Anthony: *Twitches and rises up off the ground like inflating toy and just stands there staring off into space* Stamp... stamp...

Twilight: Stamp?

Anthony: *starts popping his lips making a song and his body flickers like he was made of energy.

Vinal: No way it can't be possible!

Fluttershy: *Nervous* what is it?

Vinal: I've had this happen to me before it's called Syncronity chain.

Twilight: Oh I've read about that they say that when a music pony indulges to much into their music they become the music right?

Vinal: More or less to put it simple Anthony is the song!

Pinkie pie: Well what's the song?

His shadow shivers and shakes and splits 5 ways the shadows rise off the ground and one of the shadow produces a sound board and hits a few buttons starting the opening rift to stamp on the ground.

Vinal: Back up!

Anthony: Stamp on the ground... move it all around... *The song begins and the other shadows add the other instruments and noises the curtian goes up as the song begins and he begins it was like a full blown music video.

Vinal: I did this at my first canterlot concert that's how I got famous they say you don't truly become a music pony until this happens!

Rainbow dash: Aren't you mad he took your spot?

Vinal: Hell no he's wearing my headphones I got a recorder on it I'm going to mix the hell out of this later!

The song ends and the shadows retract to normal and Anthony wakes up he stumples and falls back but his shadow catches him.

Vinal: That's not suppose to happen...

Anthony: where am I?

Black Magic: *Moon walks up to Anthony and finishes with a small spin* Oh boy that's some fancy music you got going how would you like to be in my music video?

Anthony: *rubbing his head* Music video?

Vinal: He'd love to!

Black Magic: Well well well Vinal Scratch are you behind this?

Vinal: You know my name?

Black Magic: I make it my business to know who all the up and coming ponies are you his manager?

Vinal: Yes I am!

Black Magic: Well alright then lets make a deal. *leaves the stage with Vinal as Anthony pulls her headphones off his ears and around his neck.* Dang my head... is throbbing...

Twilight: *walks up to him* Welcome back.

Anthony: Thanks... where did I go?

Twilight: *just smiles* oh just your stomping grounds.

Anthony: ?

Dear Future Self

I have been observing Angelo as requested by the princess for a while now and honestly the more I learn about him the more confusing he becomes. It's exciting! Who knew a blank flank could have so much potenial disspite becoming Musically enlightened he hasn't changed at all he's still the same as always which I won't have any other way. I will figure out his secerts I think there is more to him then just being Celestia's son. Still I wonder what was he up to while he was away? Just want is going on anyway? Regardless I have faith in the princess and her judgement I just can't help but wonder why she never told me about any of this.

P. S.

I am worried about the elements of harmony casting magic seems harder then usual and my mind feels sluggish I can't seem to read as much as I want to anymore. Hopefully it's just temporary.

Your curious youth

Twilight Sparkle

Chapter 5

That Voodoo you do

The morning after the contest Anthony found himself in Twilight's bed he could have sworn he fell asleep on the cloud he got a shock when he found Twilight asleep holding onto him tightly just under the covers was this a sick joke? He was trying not to get attached to her but her she was yet again. Still she was pretty cute he'd give her that much.

Anthony: *nudges Twilight* Twilight wake up.

Twilight: *Yawns softly and looks up at him a moment later he found himself magically attached to the ceiling* What are you doing in my bed!?

Anthony: Me I was asleep on my cloud you tell me!

Twilight: I told you to stay out of my bed!

Anthony: Since when!?

Twilight: Since now! *she drops him and he falls on his cloud* Don't let me catch you pulling that again!

Anthony: Oh my mother are you mental!?

Twilight: *Storms out*

Anthony: (Well guess I don't have to worry about this after all.)

Jumping off the cloud he heads for the bathroom and starts to brush his teeth when he notices something.

Anthony: My eyes are brown. *he looks closer rubs them and looks again yeah still brown.* They look like master's eyes what's going on?

It was then he heard a scream coming from downstairs he got to the stairs and saw it was Twilight that was screaming looking up he saw why Spike had hulked out into a massive dragon covered in spots!

Anthony: Dang Twilight what are you feeding him?

Twilight: I didn't do this! Oh jeez what could have happened this isn't poison joke the spots are the wrong color!

Anthony: Poison joke?

Twilight: *looking Spike over* It's a flower that alters a pony's body in my case it made my horn limp and I couldn't cast magic Rarity got really shaggy and homely and pinkie's tongue swelled so she couldn't sleep.

Anthony: Must have been nice.

Twilight: You have no idea but anyway poison joke doesn't effect dragons it can't penetrate their hides I don't know what's going to happen when he wakes up!

Anthony: *looks Spike over* has he done this before? Gotten bigger prematurely?

Twilight: Yes on his birthday he started getting greedy but he surpressed that for Rarity.

Anthony: Hate to break it to ya Twilight but he's reached his first threshold.

Twilight: What are you talking about?

Anthony: Every dragon has spikes ability to grow larger through different means for Spike it's greed some it's rage others it's just simple life experience. But once they hit a certian age they can't go back. By surpressing his instincts he has made this ability is hyper sensitive notice what's in his hand?

Twilight: *spots a large Gem spike wasn't suppose to eat that night saving it for later* He snuck it out.

Anthony: That one little act of indulging himself has triggered this to fix it we have to let him grow up a little.

Twilight: What do you mean?

Anthony: I can fix him but I will have to add a few years onto his appearance he's looked this way for quite a few years now hadn't he?

Twilight: Most of his life he's 12

Anthony: Yeah it's time for him to stop being a baby and become a child do I have your permission to do so?

Twilight: *nods her head* don't hurt him okay?

Anthony: I'll do my best.

Putting on the alchemic gloves he uses their magic to pull out Spikes Dracon core Dragons have these naturally inside them and his Chain was very thick which puzzled him but he ignored this and got to work. Using his knowlage over DNA he collaspes Spike down to a manable size once finished Spike grew a half foot had tiny wings and a slightly more streamlined frame.

Anthony: *dusts his "Hands" off and takes the gloves off* and that's all she wrote.

Twilight: Amazing he barely changed at all!

Anthony: Spike is going to easily out live you Twilight so he grows slowly you can't let him get stunted like that again he will be a little greedy but don't deny what he is just like he doesn't deny you need to cast magic am I right?

Twilight: *bewildered* Uh... yeah thank you really I appreciate it.

Anthony: No problem. *rubs his eyes* I need to go see Nurse Red heart I'll be back soon. *leaves*

Spike: *wakes up* Ah... what happened? *looks himself over* Whoa! Twilight look I had a growth spurt!

Twilight: That's great spike. *watches Anthony leave* Thats... great.

Spike was to excited to notice her tone if Rarity thought he was cute before his little wings were sure to hook her attention now!

Meanwhile at the Clinic Twilight had followed Anthony there and listens to them from outside the window nearby there was a bench so she pulled out a book and just waited for them to begin.

Red heart: Good afternoon Aerosol.

Anthony: Aerosol? (Oh right my cover name) Yeah thanks I got a small problem.

Red heart: *washes her hooves* Okay then what are we looking at?

Anthony: It's my eyes they just turned brown this morning.

Red heart: *Examines them* Were you wearing contacts? I don't mean for that to sound rude but as far as I can tell they were always this color they haven't been magically changed.

Anthony: That is weird is it a problem?

Red heart: Hmm... I'm afraid so there is damage to them you are going to need glasses soon I suggest you get some.

Anthony: Dang that sucks is it perment though?

Red heart: Oh no in your case you just need them to help your eyes refocus.

Anthony: Well that's a relief thanks Red heart.

Red heart: Mmhmm your welcome if you want my advice you should take a trip to the spa and have them give you a new look brown eyes and a brown flank is a bit of an over load.

Anthony: Yeah I suppose your right I appreciate your help.

Red heart: Anytime. *refuses him when he tries to pay* It's on the house you did a wonderful job helping me out the other day.

Anthony: Oh sweet thanks. *leaves*

Twilight: (When did he help her out?) *She follows him again*

Anthony decided to take Triforce on her daily walk as Twilight tailed him.

Anthony: You know it's the damnedest thing Triforce my eyes just turned brown out of the blue now I'm wearing glassed I look more like my master then ever and on top of it I need to get my flank dyed at a spa to fit in better.

Triforce: *The blue head yips a reply.*

Anthony: Yeah I know I shouldn't do it if I don't want but I already got enough problems without standing out to much prince of the hitherlands good god I should kick Blue blood's ass for that.
Sooner or later those nobles are going to find me and they will swarm this little down I don't want to leave I still haven't gotten a fix on a single element yet the girls need those back and mother needs her power restored she can barely lift the sun as is. This is getting way out of hand. *sighs*

Twilight: (I had no idea he was so troubled.)

Anthony: *stops at the spa* well this is it. *Ties her to a fence post nearby* you two be good blue keep an eye on them.

Blue: *nods her head and yellow and red bark out a good bye.

Twilight: *stops at the door* I shouldn't go in I was here just the other day it's to soon hmm... I wonder if the girls are busy. *She turns around and bumps into Zecora who was heading for the market* Oh sorry Zecora you okay?

Zecora: Twilight! Yes yes I'm fine.

Twilight: You sure? That wasn't a rhyme.

Zecora: Quite sure little back fire on a speech potion that's all it will wear off in a bit.

Twilight: If you say so. You need any help?

Zecora: It would be appreciated yes I am in a bit of a hurry.

They get to the market row and start shopping while there they notice other ponies acting weird.

Twilight: Do they seem kinda off to you?

Zecora: Hmm...

The ponies in the market were getting into heated arguments over the prices of items and how many items being sold.

Twilight: Why is everyone so angry?

Zecora: *she sniffed the air* Wait... that's my rage potion.

Twilight: Rage potion?

Zecora: I made it for a kangaroo boxer who was nervous about fighting again he was to afraid to enter the ring the potion gave him a boost of courage and energy. But... it has to be drank. It gives off fumes that have a even stronger effect.

Twilight: but how did one of your potions out here? I thought you didn't sell them in town anymore.

Zecora: I don't I'm not allowed the mayor banned them I'm going to be in so much trouble!

Twilight: Wow you sound really different.

Zecora: Yeah I know that come on lets find the source!

Twilight: Oh right sorry

So they get to work trying to figure out the source heedless that this was just the start. In the spa Aloe and Lotus were busy dyeing Anthony's flank.

Aloe: There we go a nice bright white to go with your eyes.

Lotus: And some mane dye to help accent it perfect!

Aloe: *looks over his mane* Sis why did you use two mane dyes?

Lotus: Two? *looks at his mane it was now red green and blue* Opps I forgot I used the blue dye already sorry.

Anthony: Actually... I like it looks great.

Aloe: Excellent we won't charge you for the extra color.

Lotus: There all done.

They move away and show him a mirror like they said his flank was now white his mane spiked a bit and his tail was a solid blue.

Aloe: Don't wear your bandanna until the color dries.

Anthony: Thanks girls appreciate it. *pays them and leaves*

Lotus: Hmm one of better mistakes eh sis?

Aloe: Yep.

Both: *Watch him leave* Dibs! *They growl at each other arguing over who gets to ask him out first.*

In town Anthony notices ponies arguing too but what he see's next shocks him the most.

Fluttershy: Yeah well f*ck you too! *Throws the ponies she was arguing over her shoulder into a nearby cart*

Anthony: Whoa!

Fluttershy: *growls when she hears him* What do you want!

Anthony: Oh sh*t! *runs for it and she tears after him* It's always the quiet ones every time
it's like a unwritten law!

As Fluttershy chased him down Zecora and Twilight find the source of the potion both had air bubbles around their heads curtiosy of Twilight so they won't be effected.

Zecora: There it is hold on a sec I can netrulize it. *she grabs the potion and mixes some other ingredients into it it would take a bit by ponies would start to calm down.* Lets get this out of here if the Mayor finds out my potion did this I won't be allowed to return to town!

Twilight: Right wait... is that Anthony?

Zecora: Who's Anthony?

Twilight: *watches Fluttershy chasing him* Ah that is him come on! *Runs off and Zecora groans*

Zecora: Twilight not all of us are built for blinding running toward trouble! *Follows her*

Fluttershy: Stop running damn it! *Flinging items at him with enough forc eto make them shatter on the ground*

Anthony: Your crazy you know that! *He trips and before Fluttershy can catch him his shadow blasts up of the ground taking on a humaniod from that catches her and holds her in a body lock.*

Fluttershy: Let me go!

Twilight: Anthony! *catches up* What are you doing!?

Anthony: I have no idea my shadow's doing it!

Zecora: Twilight give her a bubble fresh air will make the potion wear off faster!

Twilight: Oh right. *She makes a bubble around Fluttershy's head and after a few moments she calms down*

Fluttershy: Huh? What am I doing here? Oh hello girls is something wrong?

Anthony: *laughs* She doesn't remember a thing!

Fluttershy: What's holding me?

The shadow lets her go and she lands on the ground softly.

Fluttershy: that was odd goodness why is every pony so mad?

Zecora: Some one stole one of my potions and turned it set it loose on the town I have to dispose of it for the mayor finds out she's already banned them from town.

Fluttershy: WHy aren't you rhyming? are you sick?

Zecora: Again with the rhyming now isn't the time for that!

Twilight: She's right lets just get this out of here and then figure out who is behind this.

So they take the potion into the woods and dispose of it the town returned to normal and like fluttershy none of the mad ponies remembered what happened.

Zecora: Thank you so much I appreciate this.

Anthony: No problem still something is up first you stop rhyming then this.

Twilight: Is some pony after you?

Zecora: No I don't think so.

Fluttershy: Maybe you should stay with one of us until we can sort this out.

Zecora: I'm fine really I do appreciate it though now then I really should be getting back I left one of my potions brewing.

Twilight: Well alright then later.

So they all head for home. Deep in the ever free forest that night in Zecora's hut

Zecora: *hmming a song from her homeland as she finishes up her latest brew* Ah done at last. *She takes a small taste* Hmm... this potion lakes a certian punch it needs some dried berries with some Crunch. Relieved I am my voice is back what a day it was all out of whack! *she reaches blindly behind her where she had several rows of dried fruits and berries but can't feel any she looks behind her and finds them gone* Not again that thieving rat I shall have to fetch my bat! *she starts looking around for the rat that often steals her ingridents.*

She spots a tail hiding behind a curtian and she pulls it back expecting the rat but what greets her fills her with fright.

Zecora: It can't be how was this a fate I did not see!

????: *cackles softly and moves into view it was a pony with it's lower body that of a snake* Oh Zecora... still needlessly rhyming everything I see? *she grabs her throat and coats it with a magic aura Zecora pulls away and coughs*

Zecora: What did you do to me!? *She gasps he voice was different not by much. To put it simply her accent was gone* My voice... I... I can't rhyme anymore why did you do that I just got my voice back to normal!

????: It bothered me then and it bothered me now.

Zecora: I'm not your student anymore undo what you've done!

????: *glares at her and Zecora locks up unable to move* You got a lot of nerve speaking to me like that. I am Silvia Nocturne and I am and always will be your misstress! It took me years to find you Zecora you know I need your skills in brewing!

Zecora: It wasn't the life I wanted to lead anymore I had to get away from you!

Silvia: You know you belong to me simply leaving means nothing and I see my rage potion did a fine job of flushing you out as I expected.

Zecora: That was you!? What do you want with me?

Silvia: I need more ingredients and you know I can't go into towns so I need you to collect what I need.

Zecora: But I can't do that I won't do that anymore those potions are to dangerous.

Silvia: *Hisses* If I wanted your opinion I'd have given it to you don't forget who is in charge here!
*her eyes glow red and Zecora's Cutie mark turns red hot and she screams in pain* You are mine apprentice I am your master I will not tolerate you disobeying me again now get me what I require or your fate is the one that will be dire! *lets her go and Zecora runs off toward the town she then cackles a little* Hmm what do you know Rhyming is fun still annoying though.

The next day

Rarity: *wakes up half the town with a blood curdling scream.*

Her friends arrive in no time.

Twilight: Rarity what's wrong!?

Rarity: *her mane had been cut off along with most of her tail* Don't look at me I'm hedious!

Fluttershy: *In a scratch nasily voice* Goodness *eeps* My voice!

Apple Jack: *skids to a stop outside the door and slams into a pile of pots nearby* What the hay is going on I've lost my coordination!

Rainbow dash: *Flaps her wings* I can't get off the ground I'm to heavy!

Around town lots of other ponies had similar problems.

Twilight: How come I'm not effected?

Pinkie pie: Yeah I'm fine too.

Anthony: Something is up I've heard several ponies are missing too.

Twilight: We need help this is to big a job for just us we might need the elements.

Anthony: *Sniffs the air* Wait... what is that?

They all stop and sniff the air.

Rarity: I... I think that's one of Zecora's potions they have a distinct smell. *was wearing a hooded cloak thankfully dispite what happened she was composing herself quickly enough.*

Fluttershy: *nods her head to afraid of her own new voice to dare speak again.

Rainbow dash: It's never been this strong before though.

They follow the sent deep into the forest far past Zecora's hut where they find the source a large pond had been converted into a pond and the missing ponies were pushing a massive wheel to stir the frothy mixture being brewed in the pond.

Silvia: *Holds up Rarity's mane* The mane of the Diva her beauty will become my own. *drops it in changing the colors then holds up a glass bottle and pops the cork* The song of a virgin her soothing song will cleanse my soul. *a mist comes out of the bottle singing an auria as it combines with the liquid then she holds up an orb with a swirling gale inside* The lift of a free spirit may her proud will be added to my own. *A gust of wind carries the orb up and slams it into the potion the captured ponies scream and break free from the wheel as a bright light and rush of liquid bursts up.* Now at last I will have back what was stolen from me. *She slithers toward the pool when Zecora lands in front of her*

Zecora: Silvia no!

Silvia: Inncolent child! I will tolerate your transgressions no more! *her dread locks become literal snakes and start biting Zecora some of them wrap around her and toss her to the size* I will take back what was taken from me I will have what is rightfully mine! *She gets to the water's edge and tips a hoof into it* Yesss yesss my power... it's returning!

Zecora: *See's the others* You have to stop her!

Anthony: *Yanks his dagger free* On it! *He aims for a rope holding up the wheel and throws it the rope is cut and the wheel falls down forcing Silvia to back up away from the potion the water bursts free from the fortified pond and splashes over the forest floor.

Silvia: No!

Fluttershy's voice Rainbow dash's lift and even Rarity's tale float up into the air and reattach to them.

Rarity: Amazing how is it possible?

Anthony: Lets play 20 Q later she's not happy about what I just did.

Silvia: You've ruined everything! *She inhales deeply and screeches it forces them to their knees.

Apple Jack: We can't get any closer!

Pinkie pie: We have to stop her!

Anthony: Fluttershy I need you to sing as loud as you can!

Fluttershy: Why?

Anthony: Just do it please!

Fluttershy: Uh okay. *Fluttershy sings at a high pitch the soothing melody cancels out the harsh screech allowing the others to get up.*

Anthony: Just hold that pitch as long as you can.

Apple Jack: *pulls out her lasso* Rainbow dash loop de loop!

Rainbow dash: *hops in her lasso's ring* Go for it!

Apple Jack: *spins RAinbow dash as fast as she can and flings her at Silvia Rainbow dash tackles her and pins her to the ground using her wings to cover her mouth* Yes she did it!

Soon enough they had her tied up and gagged along with a blind fold so she could control Zecora.

Zecora: Thank you so much for this and I'm sorry I was the one that stole from you I had to she reactivated my curse.

Twilight: There are no such things are curses.

Zecora: My cutie mark is with it Silvia can control my actions she even put a spell on my throat to keep me from rhyming ever again.

Pinkie pie: Well that's just mean!

Zecora: She's my mistress she owns me.

Apple Jack: Well that an't right no pony should own another pony it's just not right.

Zecora: Maybe not around here but where I'm from ponies are inslaved left and right I may be a Zebra but I'm a pony too just not a lucky one like you all are.

Fluttershy: Well it's over now.

Anthony: So what do we do with her?

Zecora: That potion she was making keeps her alive look at her.

In the short time they had captured her Silvia had aged at least 40 years her mane was white her face covered in wrinkles and she was very thin and sickly.

Zecora: Silvia is the last of the Naga ponies they wiped themselves out after becoming addicted to their own potions Silvia needs that potion to live.

Rainbow dash: What she did was wrong but we can't just let her die that won't be cool.

Pinkie pie: what can we do?

Twilight: I'll ask the princess.

Dear Twilight Sparkle

As you requested I have cleansed Silvia of her potions allowing her body to exist without them. But her heart is tainted with dark desires and she is to dangerous to be freed so I am locking her up for a unknown amount of time. I don't feel that she belongs in Tartarus though if that was a concern.

p.s.

I do have some bad news though it appears that news of Anthony's residency in ponyville has been leaked respersntives over various nobles are heading toward ponyville I suggest you take me up on my pervious offer and go on vacation with your friends. In closed are sky shuttle tickets to the Gallop and go islands as well as a map to my vacation home there. I am to busy to attend but I do have a guest waiting for you there. I know tension has been a little thick between you and Angelo lately but do try to get along we have a lot on our plates but if we work together we can sort it all out.

Have fun

Princess Celestia


Twilight: *looks over the tickets then over to Anthony scribbling away in a note book* (A vacation huh? Well if the princess thinks it's a good idea who am I to argue?)

Chapter 6

Twist and shout

Pinkie pie: Are we there yet?

Twilight: No

Pinkie pie: are we there yet.

Rarity: No...

Pinkie pie: Are we there yet?

Everyone else: NO!

Pinkie pie: Okay okay don't need to yell.

The ride to the princess's private island was a little longer then they would have liked but they were all excited a free trip to a tropical island! Even hard working AJ was excited to go.

Apple Jack: My cousins live on the island they take care of it for the princess!

Rarity: AJ darling Apples don't grow in the gallop and gos.

Apple Jack: Duh I know that they grow pineapples!

Rarity: *face hoof* Of course they do...

Anthony: I have a question that's been bothering me why aren't pears and carrots sold in the market.

Apple JAck: *Glare at him*

Anthony: What?

Apple Jack: aplogize now...

anthony: I'm sorry?

Apple Jack: Thats better. *She leaves the cabin they were in*

Fluttershy: Apple Jack's family are bitter rival with the carrot and Pear famlies they aren't allowed to sell their crops in ponyville they lost that right.

Anthony: What is there a fruit mafia or something.

No one responses.

Anthony: You have got to be kidding me.

Twilight: It's a urbun legend but yeah we believe there is.

Rainbow dash: They say the last time a pony trying to sell pears came to town they found her body floating in a barrel of spoiled apple cider.

Anthony: Whoa... Wait... if Apple Jack's in the fruit mafia how come she doesn't spare the wealth?

Twilight: The apple family is 600 strong and counting and they all split the profits evenling amongst each other.

Anthony: Damn... That's the whole family right?

Rarity: Just immedient without second cusions like the oranges or the pinapples.

Anthony: Their... family tree forks right?

Twilight: Again we don't know.

Apple bloom: what does it forks mean?

Anthony: *nearly jumps out of his skin* Damn it apple bloom don't spook me like that!

Apple bloom: Gosh a'm sorry thanks for letting me and my friends come though.

Twilight: Well kids fly free so...

Sweetie bell: yeah thanks!

Scootaloo: I'm going to learn how to fly!

Dinky: This is going to be fun!

Ruby punch: Yeah!

Silver spoon: (Why am I here again?)

Anthony: Holy sh*t their muliplying didn't we start with 3?

Rarity: only a few of us are good with kids so we had to bring a few parents to help out.

Berry punch: Free primium drinks how can I pass that up?

Ditzy doo: Honestly I just needed a break my boss has been running me ragged sides Dinky and I never go on vacation it's to bad Sparkler couldn't get out of her collage classes.

Silver saucer Sliver spoon's older sister: I've been reassigned to help out during the vacation.

Silver spoon: *adjusts her glasses* Honestly sister it's bad enough your a maid in the castle do you really have to wade on them too and what's worse why am I coming as well?

Silver saucer: *fluffs her silver mane* Sis mom and dad are in canterlot this week it was here or staying with grandma.*

Silver spoon: *shivers in fear* The glass eye fell out and rolled down my back while she brushed me with her dead cat...

Siliver saucer: I thought so.

Carry on from this point like it's the new story.

Angelo: Impressive I'm going to patrol the permeter to make sure all is well. *he runs off*

The mane six huddled up as the kids ran off the play with the parents in tow to keep an eye on them.

Twilight: Okay I think it's important that we really do our best to make sure Angelo has a great time.

Rarity: hmm I agree he's been recovering but as quickly as Red heart would like he's to active for his own good he'll never heal up if he doesn't relax.

Rainbow dash: But how can we make him relax?

Apple Jack: It's to bad he doesn't have a filly friend nothing tames a wild stallion better then one of those.

Fluttershy: But I don't think he wants to be with any of us plus we're not his type.

So they racked their brains as they did one AJ's cousins came up to help get the luggage.

???? *Like a surfer* Whoa it's AJ awesomeness!

Apple Jack: *turns around* Wipe out!

Wipe out: In the bronzed flank *laughs* So what brings you to my little slice of paradise?

Apple Jack: We're on vacation.

Wipe out: You on Vacation? Whoa... that's heavy.

Apple Jack: Hey is your sister around her?

Wipe out: which one? Tropical Breeze or Oceania?

Apple Jack: Either of them they must have gotten big since I saw them last.

Wipe out: Yep they grew up nice come on their getting the house ready.

With Wipe out's help they bring the luggage to the house and look for his sisters.

Wipe out: Heh there they are.

Tropical Breeze had a pale green flank with bright ocean blue mane with a flower in her hair her sister Oceania had a short feathered hair cut with tattoos on her deep blue flank made by putting gobs of sun screen on in a pattern for tanning. Though Wipe out spoke like a Surfer they spook like other girls from the apple family.

Tropical Breeze: Well bless ma soul hey sis it's Apple Jack!

Oceania: Apple Jack? *She comes into view* Well what do you know howdy cuz things going okay back home?

Apple Jack: Yep just fine I'm here on Vacation.

Both: Why?

Apple Jack: *tilts her hat over her eyes* (Damn maybe I really should take breaks more often.)

After introductions they were told that the special guest Celestia was talking about will arrive soon.

Rainbow dash: Who do you think it will be? You think it could be spitfire?

Rarity: I highly doubt it but whoever it is will be noble indeed. *She shivers* (oh no I hope it's not blue blood.)

Twilight: Hmm... *She flips through a book* It might be my brother he mentioned something about doing manuevers in the rain storm thats going to hit tomorrow.

While they thought about who it could be the sea sisters returned with swim suits for each of them.

Oceania: We only got one rule on this island no pony goes naked.

Pinkie pie: Why?

Tropical breeze: It's a island paradise you should look the part plus the bugs around here have a nasty habit of biting where it would be the most painful if you catch my drift.

No arguments there in no time they had each picked out a suit that suits them. Twilight chose a simple blue one piece Rarity of course took the black Bikini and Salong. Dash took a rainbow bikinki AJ took a pair of swimming trunks and a tube top and pinkie took a one piece as well only hers had all her favorite colors on it. Fluttershy's was the most shocking a spegetti bikini that left less to the imagination then when she wore nothing at all.

Fluttershy: *Blushing hard* Are you s-sure there are no other outfits?

Tropical breeze: Nope sorry we'll pick up some other ones when we go to the main land later on today.

Fluttershy: *meekly* Okay... anyone want to trade?

Rarity: I would Darling your the only one with the figure for it.

Fluttershy: but... I... it feels like I'm naked and somepony is hugging me... in the wrong place.

Spike: I say before we do anything we hit the beach I'm going to make a huge sand castle!

Fluttershy: Wait can I get a towel or something?

Oceania: Fresh out!

Fluttershy: But your a beach crew how can you be out!?

Oceania: I know right weird huh?
So they agreed it was fun time before game time. Rarity soaked up some rays as expected Rainbow dash practiced some moves using the tropical rain clouds. Fluttershy of course hid under a deck chair while Spike and the other fillies played in the sand leaving AJ who was doing spear fishing Twilight with a full set of swimming aids to try and learn how to swim out of a book of course and Pinkie pie was busy collecting sea shells.

Rarity: Ah the weather is perfect today.

Fluttershy: Y-yay perfect.

It didn't take long before something caught all of their attentions surfing on the water came wipe out and next to him Angelo but he wasn't on a board.

Twilight: What is he doing?

Angelo: *slides up on a wave and does a back flip for landing on the water hoof first but he slides on it rather then sinking in.

Wipe out: Yeah baby show them what you got!

Angelo: If you insist. *the next wave he hits he launches high into the air does several front flips and rises ribbions of water he brought up with him back down for coasting on the last wave and stepping off onto the beach.* Brisk indeed.

Rainbow dash: *her jaw drops* Whoa... how did you do that?

Angelo: You want to learn?

Rainbow dash: You can teach me that?

Angelo: I can't... *points behind him where a large ship was coming up* but I'm sure she can.

On the midnight black boat was none other then Princess Luna though her size and colors had changed in the daylight she still the princess of the night a large cloud that immitated the starry sky kept the suns harsh rays off her as the boat docked she stepped off it's edge and the water rushed up to greet her hooves forming stairs that carried her to the beach.

Angelo: Greetings Lady Luna.

Luna: *she smiles* Luna is just fine you are my nephew you shouldn't have to speak to me so formally.

Angelo: As you wish.

Rainbow dash: *zips up* Luna how did you do that!?

Luna: Whoa! Jeez you scared me Rainbow dash.

Rainbow dash: Sorry but how did you make the water do that?

Luna: It's my powers. As you know the moon's gravitational pull makes the tide ebb and flow and that is just from the moon while here on the ground my magic works like a miniture moon allowing me to control water freely.

Rainbow dash: Can other ponies do it?

Luna: Hmm... I see no reason why not it's just a simple manner of focusing your own inner magic to act differently.

Angelo: Earth ponies have their own unique magic I'm not sure what happens when I shut that off and turn it into moon power though so far I've seen no problems.

Luna: I'll be more then happy to teach you if I have the time.

Rarity: *comes up* why won't you have the time?

Luna: Well... lets just say there is a reason I arrived here on a massive ship then flew here little ponies.

Apple Jack: *watching them from the shore* Wow Twi Princess Luna is going to hang out with us. Not sure how ah feel about that really.

Twilight: I know it is a little confusing isn't it? I mean we haven't seen her since we defeated Nightmare moon not once. Look at her she looks no older then us right now is it it must be the suns rays they are at the strongest here.

Apple Jack: What do you mean?

Twilight: Well I did a study about sun and moon's power for I came to ponyville. In it I learned that there are focus points if you will were some elements have more power over others. Like for example in the Gallop and go islands plants that rely on lots of sunshine grow fast and well in this area that is because this area is the closest to the sun it is always this warm around here with no serious dips in tempature.

Apple Jack: Hmm... if the sun is strongest here... then why didn't Celestia make her castle here? Ah mean if she was always at full strength won't she be able to prevent a lot of the problems we've been having?

Twilight: That's the only thing I don't understand while it is a large group of islands some of them are enchanted to have different seasons and the land mashes are huge one of them is as big as the ponyville Valley area. It's really confusing honestly but who am I to judge? Clearly she knows what she's doing.

For most of the rest of the day Luna's personal guard got to work setting up massive towers around the private island.

Pinkie pie: What do you think the towers are for?

Fluttershy: *using her as a cape to cover herself recovering some of her limited bravado* Hmm... I'm not sure least they are being quiet about it.

Meanwhile still under her cloud Luna was attempting to teach Rainbow dash and Twilight how to control water.

Luna: The process is much like opening a valve. You close off one port for your magic and focus into another one. Right now I have closed off my full Alicorn powers making me return to how you saw me when I was first saved I look a lot more like my sister now. *clears her throat to resume* Now then for I get side tracked I have shut off those powers to use these powers. *she waves her hoof in the air and a stream of water floats about* As you can see my horn isn't glowing I am only using my mind now. I've taught you how to shut off your own racial abilities now do so and tap into the power of water.

Rainbow dash: I'm game for anything! *she focuses and spreads her wings out a visible aura appears and the sound of a lock closing is heard her wings vanish and she gains tribal tattoos around her body the same color as the water.* Did I do it?

twilight: You did more then that...

Rainbow dash: *yelps when she notices her wings are gone but Luna soothes her*

Luna: It's alright they aren't compeltly gone they have mearly changed into something new try to fly.

Rainbow dash: Uh okay. *she focuses the muscles normally used for flight and the water nearby surges out of the water and latches onto her body formings that lift her into the air with a spray of mist.* H-hey I did it I can still fly!

Luna: Yes your natural talent in flight makes it easy for you to take to the skies once more.

Angelo: Hmm... interesting.

Twilight: Hey... I think I know what's changed.

Angelo: Hmm?

Twilight: Where are your glasses?

Angelo: *feels the side of his head he had taken them off* Huh... that's right I took them off because they were hurting my eyes.

Twilight: and they aren't brown anymore either their blue again.

Angelo: *looks in the water nearby* Huh your right but what did I give up then?

Luna: Can you still manipulate the earth?

Angelo: *slams his hoof on the ground and nothing happens* Huh... I can't do that anymore.

Twilight: Maybe your eye color represents which element you can use perhaps I'm not sure yet to many variables at this point.

Angelo: Either way I can shift it back no problem. *His aura changes and his eyes return to brown and he makes a chunk out of the ground rise up* Yes just a simple matter of which way my magic flows.

Luna: A word of warning though over using this power can be dangerous if you do it more then twice in a day you could hurt yourself you must promise me that you will only use this responsibly there is a reason not every pony knows how to do this.

Rainbow dash: If it's so dangerous why did you show us?

Luna: I'm not sure excatly... Just this feeling I had that you are going to need all the help you can and soon too I'm not sure if it's a prophecy or not Celestia was always good with those but... It's a gut feeling I can't ignore.

So Luna trained each of the mane six to tap into the power of water she took it very seriously luckily it wasn't difficult for them to learn the reason being they already did tap into another power from time to time the elements of harmony so forces of nature weren't all that difficult to figure out the pineapple family found it impossible guess Luna was right this could indeed be something they need soon and none of the girls were happy about it when they thought to hard about it. Thankfully the next day a proper distraction came and one no pony saw coming. The storm mentioned before was had started and it turns out Luna's towers fuctioned not only as a giant dome to block out the rain it also blocked the winds allowing everyone to enjoy time outside well almost everyone.

Fluttershy: I'm not leaving!

Spike: Come on Fluttershy it was an accident!

Fluttershy: I said no!

Rarity: *walks by Fluttershy's door where Spike was trying to coax her out* What is the problem spike?

Spike: I accidently torched Fluttershy's bikini while I was doing laundry last night for Tropical breeze and she won't come out.

Rarity: That is a problem... good thing I made this. *holds up modest two piece swim suit* All the flexiblity she needs to fly and all the coverage she wants.

Fluttershy: *hears this and opens the door slighty* You made that? already?

Rarity: Why of course I knew how worried you were yesterday so I got right to work on it after Luna finished instructing me what do you think?

Fluttershy: It's perfect hold on. *she takes it and comes out a minute later* thank you.

Spike: Whoa it looks great!

Rarity: Indeed it does even better then I thought... perhaps I shall add swim wear to my the rest of my summer line now then Pinkie wants to see us.

So they find Pinkie pie who was stuffing her party cannon.

Fluttershy: Pinkie what are you doing?

Pinkie pie: Ah your here. I need your help.

Rarity: Why do you have your party cannon?

Pinkie pie: Silly Rarity I always have my party cannon but the problem isn't with the cannon its the prepration. See I want to throw a surprise for Luna but I don't know what she likes I never got to throw her a welcome back from the moon party can you two spend time with her and let me know what she likes?

Rarity: Well that doesn't seem that hard and I think it's a wonderful idea.

Fluttershy: Uh yeah... wonderful. *nervous about the idea but of course what doesn't?

So while they worked on that Angelo was busy with his own problems.

Angelo: *looking at himself in the mirror* I can't believe this. *in his hoof was a letter from Celestia
it was a response letter to him returning to duty which was denied. He had failed something called a Psych evalution and couldn't become the captian of the guard until he cleared his mind.* What could there left to clear!? The nightmares of war have passed my loyalty isn't in question and I'd never let my men come to harm I don't understand what am I missing. And why can't I get a clue as to what. *he notices his door open in the mirror and turns around but there was nothing there and it was still closed.* What the? Hmm... perhaps I am not as clear headed as I would like. *turning back around he yelped and falls off the chair he was sitting in. Before him in the mirror was...

Angelo: Lamora? My love... is it you?

The vision in the mirror was indeed that of Lamora his true love only her body was pale and her eyes were clouded the halo over her head filled him with fright it couldn't bee she couldn't really be...

Lamora: *Speaks in an airy ghost like voice* My love you've come back to me. But it is to little to late.

Angelo: Where are you?

Lamora: In paradiso with my husband.

Angelo: H-husband?

Lamora: I waited for you every day I waited for you my heart filled with my sorrow until he showed up. He made me forget about you it was for the best what good would it be to dwell on what could never be.

Angelo: No! No no don't tell me this is so!

Lamora: Peace... brave knight it is the truth and you must accept it I was never to be yours the fates had bigger plans for you then me.

Angelo: *tearing up* The fates I grow weary of hearing about them.

Lamora: *puts her hand against the glass unable to pass through it* I had a daughter.

Angelo: Daughter?

Lamora: Yes a daughter I know not her name it has slipped from me but you will find her soon when you do you will know it. I ask no beg of you to take her in my place the fates wanted this union to accour don't despare no more my love the reward for your sacrifice is quickly approuching.

Angelo: You say I will met her soon what if I've already met her but dont' remember?

Lamora: search for her with your aura. She too is a child of fate and her aura will present it's self as so find her... and dispare no more... *she fades from the mirror*

Angelo: Wait! *he moves up the mirror* Come back!

His door opens and Twilight steps in.

Twilight: How did I know I was outside.

Angelo: Not you I was... *he trails off* Talking to someone... else.

Twilight: Uh... huh anyway I came to check on you. you've been in here all day.

Angelo: I'm fine leave me.

Twilight: Okay... let me know if you get hungry okay? *She closes the door and he sighs*

Angelo: What good would that do?

Later that night as he left the room after finally clearing his head he finds Twilight sleep outside his door.

Angelo: She... she was waiting for me. All this time she waited for me to come out. I wonder... *he
reads Twilight's aura but... her aura was the same as always* No... tis not you after a I see. Still... it is nice to know that there are those looking out for me proper. *he scoops her up* I think I'm ready to give this generation a proper chance. *he carries her to her room*

While he does Twilight wakes up for a moment and hears him talking to himself softly.

Angelo: To become a knight again I must calm my soul. but to do that I need to find her... how am I to do that without a clue? Lamora... I'm sorry I wasn't there for you. *he walks on*

Twilight: (Lamora) *falls back to sleep*

The following morning

Pinkie pie: *Yawns as she comes out of her room her hair flat as can be for she stops inhales deeply and blows on her hoof like she was inflating a balloon and her hair poofs out she then sleeply stumbles down to the kitchen*

Rainbow dash: *wakes up and her mane was silky soft and beautiful looking it was perfectly styled and looked amazing she looks at herself in the mirror* Ah man not again stupid mane. *she spits on her hooves and rubs her mane vigeriously and it becomes her normal hair style* Much better. *she flies out of her window and down to the kitchen as well.*

Soon they were all had food and headed for the dining room where what they saw made them drop it luckily Silver saucer was alert and caught the dropped food.

Celestia: *Sitting at the head of the table eating some strawberry pancakes with Luna* Oh hello my little ponies did you sleep well?

Twilight: P-princess!? What are you doing here?

Celestia: *looks around in confustion a little* This is my private island right?

Luna: *nudges her* Sister don't tease them.

Celestia: Sorry couldn't resist. I am here because of an urgent matter that came up after you left.

Rarity: Are we under attack?

Celestia: Good heavens no but it is important regardless and a task I wished to over myself.

Fluttershy: What is it Princess?

Celestia: I would like you to over see a very important event for me.

Rainbow dash: Is it the Wonderbolt gran prix?

Celestia: No sorry that has already been taken care off. This event is very important though. You see girls for many years now there has been a lot of tension between us and Tartarus and soon it threatens go grow violent. So before that happens I want to sit down with it's leader and work out a new treaty.

Twilight: That is where all the criminals are kept right?

Celestia: Not only the criminals but the monsters to dangerous to wonder free the Statue of discord and the remains of Nightmare moon's armor.

Pinkie pie: Discord is there?

Celestia: Yes I don't like dealing with Tartarus so I kept him out but after he broke free last time I knew it was to dangerous for him to be in Equestria anymore so he was sent there and Nightmare moon's armor is still brimming with dark magic who knows what it could do to a pony if they got to close so I sent it away as well. But in doing so I have tried the patience of it's ruler. They want more land in which to expand out into I can't allow that the very air around it's gate taints the land so I need to set up a compromise and for that I need to impress them and who better to impress them then the elements of harmony themselves. I need you to prove to them that expansion isn't the answer you girls are very clever I know you have what it takes to convince them not to take our land will you help me?

They all agree even Fluttershy.

Celestia: Thank you for this I must be going we have a lot of work to do.

Luna: Wait Tia why don't you take the day off.

Celestia: *in shock* the day off? Luna the very idea!

Luna: Come on sis you only 2 days off a year your birthday and hearths warming eve and you are to busy on your birthday being with your subjects to really enjoy it. I know for the fact that no one is expecting you back until tomorrow anyway please.

Celestia: *looks into her sisters pleading eyes she was right even with her sister's return she was as busy as ever and she could tell that Twilight wanted to spend time with her more then anything.* I... alright then I will stay until I must raise the sun tomorrow.

This got a cheer out of everyone there looks liek this vaction was bout to get more interesting after all.

Chapter 7

Splash down

The sun was shining the sea was calm and the main 6 had an entire island to themselves along with both princesses of their kingdom that could only mean one thing.

Pinkie pie: Summer fun montage!

The entire day was one they would never forget surfing on the waves with their new abilities learning to hula dance from the pineapple family not one but 2 cook outs both for lunch and dinner and a beautiful night of watching Luna make new stars and constallations.

Twilight: Good night princess thank you again.

Celestia: Of course Twilight but I should thank you. You saved me from my self with your persistance. *she smiled her mane had been braided and a flower that changed color in different degrees of sunlight on her head* I had forgotten just how important spending time with friends is. If anyone needed lessons in friendship it was me. *she chats with Twilight some more as Angelo helps Luna repair and remake some of the constolations of old.*

Luna: Oh yes your right it does go lower so... here?

Angelo: Indeed right there.

Luna: *Giggles she too had a flower in her mane this one bloomed only at night.* Hmm dear nephew you have filled mine hearth with such happiness thank you.

Angelo: *smiles at her* And you Luna you have helped ease my troubled soul I thank thee. It's funny I spent all this time looking for someone from the old days and hadn't realized that you are in the same boat I am only difference is my imprisonment lasted a bit longer then yours.

Luna: It was a horrifing time I was aware of everything nightmare moon did but... I couldn't move I couldn't speak I was just a puppet for her purposes. It was horrifing. *she shivers a little and he pats her shoulder.*

She looked at him and looked at his smiling face she blushed slightly why she wasn't sure.

Luna: Angelo what was I like? You were born first right?

Angelo: Hmm... I believe so if not you were only a foal that much I know for sure you did age much slower then I did but that I remember at least. I am not like you I was a demi god at best I had to earn the rest of my power which I never did for I gave it up to the earth dragon. I think it is because my father was a mortal but I don't know for sure.

Luna: I remember... you used to take care of me.

Angelo: That I did I thought it beneath me at first but something about you... I felt the need to keep you safe just like Lamora

Luna: Lamora?

Angelo: It just came back to me but Lamora. She was my true love I went to war not for mother but to keep her safe I guess I did what I set out to do.

Luna: Oh yes now I remember she was my niece but times were different then I too remember how in love you both were you were a perfect match a princess and her knight. You didn't complete your godhood trial because of her.

Angelo: *taps his hoof on his other hoof like a human would tap their fist in their hand when they realize soemthing* Of course that's it! She wasn't a goddess like mother or you so she would die in time I didn't want to be without her so I never completed my trial as a demi good I could be with her but as a god I'd have to live forever without her at least I would eventually die of old age and I wanted to see her again.

Luna: But the war came and Tia told me that she married another.

Anthony: Yes. I had a vision of her she came to me. She said she wanted me to protect her daughter now did she have a daughter?

Luna: Actually yes her name is Cadance but most of the alicorns died off over the years see the problem was they can't breed with normal ponies so over time the families mixed to closely together and it wasn't possible Cadance is one of the last normal alicorns Tia and I made her a demi goddess to preserve her but she's been off studying around the world for years now. She came back shortly and helped us with some important things but she left when she wasn't needed.

Angelo: Cadance... well it matters not I can't excatly march up and tell her that her mother wants me to marry her. No I need more tact then that times have changed like you said after all mares can't just be claimed because of noble birth or right anymore. But what would I even say to her? She isn't my Lamora but... I can feel that my destiny is tied heavily with her and you know better then any pony my gut feelings are never wrong.

Luna: Yes had I listened to you I never would have become Nightmare moon.

Angelo: but how would I even begin?

Luna: Why don't you start the simplist way possible? *she floats a scroll and a feather pen over to her* Introduce yourself.

Angelo: Uh sure that sounds good I suppose. *he takes them and starts writing keeping it simple and he hands it to her and she looks it over*

Luna: Hmm not bad Tia never said your penmenship was so good.

Angelo: I'm her soon I had to pick up some traits from her.

Luna: Indeed. *she sends the letter off* Now then lets make a few more constolations.

Angelo: I'd like that I enjoy spending time with you.

Luna: Yeah me too.

The next morning wasn't like the others before it the pineapple family was gone and another storm was rolling in problem was that Luna's shield towers were gone.

Luna: Tia what's going on?

Celestia: I'm not sure...

Twilight: These weather patterns... They are like a hurricane but... they aren't natural.

Pinkie pie: Look!

A massive cloud was moving toward the island as it got close a large ship came out of it.

Rainbow dash: *screams and hides behind a colum nearby the mansion*

Angelo: Rainbow dash what's wrong why are you afraid?

Rainbow dash: That's the SS star cutter!

Celestia: *gasps* the star cutter that's the most infamous air pirate ship in all of the Gallop and go islands!

Angelo: Air pirates?

Luna: They are pegasus ponies that steal cargo ships and use them to raid sky towns and cities they run wild out here because of all the dangerous storms normal pegasus won't live out here so it's the perfect place for air pirates to hide out with their cloud generators.

Angelo: But why are you afraid of them dash?

Rainbow dash: Because the Captian of the star cutter is my father!

Everyone gasps at that.

Apple Jack: Your the daughter of a sky pirate!?

Rainbow dash: It's not exactly something I'm proud off!

The ship docked over the island and pegasus swarmed off the ship and surrounded them.

Celestia: What is the meaning of this!?

Sky Pirate: Hey Cap'n the princesses are here!

Captian Cutlass: *walks into view an old grizzled pirate with a long beard and faded rainbow mane with an eye patch.* Ah... so this be where my daughter disappeared too. Little ca-

Rainbow dash: Don't tell them my old name its Rainbow dash now!

Cutlass: Tch stubborn as always fine it be a real shame you abandon your family and heritage for this motley crew element of loyalty indeed. *he signals the others and one of they capture the girls he points his cutlass as Celestia's neck using his mouth* I kindly suggest you come along quietly my dear.

Celestia: You have a lot of nerve treated me and my friends in such a manner.

Cutlass: Tell a pony who cares.

Celestia: I will not stand for this you will be punished for your actions.

Cutlass: Hmm perhaps one day but not today. *he holds up his radio and they hear the kids shouting for help.* You want the little ones kept safe ya'll best cooperate. *Claps his hooves together and a giant pony appears.

Demolition expert Powder keg: *A hulking earth pony even larger then the princess who holds her down takes off her crown and replaces it with special device that seals her powers making the princess shrink in size and her eyes and mane turn pink* Done cap'n.

Cutlass: aye good work now the other.

Powder key: *Catches Luna and tries to put another device on her head*

Luna: *Struggles free but doesn't even get time to retaliate when she is hit from behind by a cannon that fired a cluster of zap apples knocking her out her power too was sealed away by the device thanks to powder keg.*

Cutlass: Good shot my love!

First mate Open sea: *Giggles swishing her long dolphin like tail* Of course Captian.

Twilight: Your mom is a sea pony!?

Rainbow dash: Half sea pony she just has the tail and can hold her breath for a long time.

Angelo: Huh and here I thought today was going to be boring with mother leaving.

Fluttershy: Boring isn't so bad I kinda prefer it.

Pinkie pie: I'm starting to as well.

Cutlass: Enough of your yapping the lot of ya! *pulls out a radio* Polly we got what we were after contact our employer at once.

Polly: *A high pitched annoyingly perky voice answers* You got it daddy I'm on it!

Rainbow dash: *Groans* Polly is here too?

Rarity: Is that your younger sister?

Rainbow dash: I wish.

Soon they found themselves in the bridge of the ship where they met Polly. She had a bright red mane stubby wings to go along with her compact frame a neckerchief and small pirate hat tilted to cover her right eye.

Polly: Well well well if it isn't our little traitor Cannon ball.

Rainbow dash: My name isn't Cannon ball it never was!

Polly: Hmph of course not that's just what the captian calls you but your real name is much more satisfiying to say.

Rainbow dash: You better not!

Polly: Oh what? Face it we found you Cannon ball weather you like it or not you never should have come back if you didn't want to be found.

Rainbow dash: You don't sail in this area you never have what is going on!

Polly: Tsk tsk tsk it's not nice to yell at your older sister like that didn't mother teach you better?

Twilight: That's your older sister?

Rainbow dash: By 3 years.

Some of her friends snicker a little.

Polly: What's so funny?

They all laugh but dash.

Angelo: Oh gods that voice I can't help it she is older then you!?

Rarity: *trying her hardest* I'm sorry I really can't help it.

Fluttershy: *giggling a little*

Rainbow dash: Fluttershy not you too.

Polly: *tantrums a little* Shut up all of you no wonder Cannon loves you all so much your just as big a jerk as she is! *She leaves the brig slamming the door behind her*

After they calm down they try to get dash to give them an explanation.

Rainbow dash: *Sighs* Well what they said is true they are my family my mom dad older sister and my Dad's best friend from his army days.

Angelo: He was in the army too?

Rainbow dash: Yes the royal navy. After a mock battle using live rounds my father saw my mother had been hurt by the fire she was collecing pearls you see. He saved her and nursed her back to health. But mother was in trouble see the pearls she had collected belonged to the royal family the pearls were harvested and used to help suppliment the treasury and used to barter with the sea ponies where were a powerhouse back then.

Twilight: Yeah a Civil war wiped out most of them they were said all gone.

Rainbow dash: Yeah well Father didn't want to turn her in so he fled with her giving up his career to be with her. They met up with Powder keg who was a small time pirate and adapted to the life.

Fluttershy: That's a beautiful love story.

Rainbow dash: Sometimes I wish it was just a story. Anyway first Polly was born then I was born a few years later but my parents were to int othe pirate life to give it up so they kept going. I didn't want to be the pirate so I ran away lived with my grandma in Cloudsdale I joined the flying acadmy meet Gilda and fluttershy then when I grew up I moved her and that's my life more or less.

Angelo: Why are you called Cannon ball?

Rainbow dash: My family picked me up after I finished flying school after hearing of my Sonic Rainboom while I didn't do another until recently as you guys know I had learned how to almost pull it off with ease. My father nicknamed me cannon ball because I could fly so fast I could punch through a ship and not get hurt all for a while I was the only ammo my family had this was when I truly got sick of the life and I made sure to disappear for good I didn't want to be a weapon to hurt other ponies.

Twilight: is that why you alwas get so fidgety around mothers day and fathers day?

Rainbow dash: Yeah... my sister doesn't help much either she found me in Cloudsdale once but I gave her the slip that's the main reason I don't visit my grandma much anymore either.

Meanwhile in the captian's state room

Cutlass: *Tearing apart a large leg of meat before gulping down a large piece before Celestia and Luna*

Celestia: You disgust me.

Cutlass: Then I've done my job you see my dear princess I am a Captian not only of this ship but of Tradition as well.

Luna: Ponies aren't suppose to eat meat anymore we're better then that!

Cutlass: Aye ponies are but not pirates it gives us our strength!

Celestia: It also causes Psychosis and delusions we aren't meant to eat it anymore!

Powder keg: Silence the Captian is speak'n!

Cutlass: Easy my friend no need to yell she just doesn't understand us.

Celestia: What happened to you Twister? You were one of my greatest Admirals and you've been reduced to this.

Open sea: *trots in with Silver spoon wearing a dog collar connected to a chain* I'm what happened. *she sits next to Cutlass*

Celestia: You... your the sea pony king's daughter.

Open sea: I was until you deployed that blasted navy of yours we lost out best fishing grounds access to the finest pearls and it gave my fathers enemies the means to unleash hell on us our fall was your doing!

Cutlass: Aye I wasn't about to let my love be taken in for just trying to survive neither.

Luna: Now it's all starting to make sense the attacks on the sky towns the reason no sky pirate sailed in this area... You only attacked cities that were under our control and you avoided this area because there used to be so many navy vessels around here we had to dismantle the navy after the sea ponies finished themselves off there was no need to police the waters anymore.

Cutlass: Excatly we rule the Gallop and gos now tis ours.

Silver spoon: *whimpering a bit as the massive bone Cutlass was eating is dumped on the tray she had on the saddle she was wearing.*

Open sea: Well what are you waiting for get to the kitchen and bring back more! *slaps her behind and Silver spoon gallops off she too had a small device on her head to keep her from using her magic.*

Luna: *Worried it seemed like there was no hope at the moment but she decided to prolong whatever fate was in store for all of them by asking more questions* Why did you capture us in the first place?

Cutlass: *Waits for Silver spoon to return with his meat then begins after taking a bite* The same reason I still sail the skies. Want I want is simple enough but impossible to obtain.

Luna: And that is?

Cutlass: I want the Gallop and go Islands I want them to truly belong to the sky pirates and I got a plan for getting it with or without your corroperation.

Celestia: How do you plan on taking these islands when they are under my protection?

Cutlass: The eye of the storm.

Celestia's eyes widened he couldn't be serious.

Luna: What's the eye of the storm?

Open sea: It be a magical artifact that controls the very weather research on it many years ago is what allows pegasus to day to make rainbows and clouds plus control the weather.

Cutlass: It's hidden somewhere in the Gallop and go islands and I want it with it I can create a perpetual storm around my ship to make approching it impossible with that I will be able to conquer these islands in no time.

Luna: Wait I remember now you can't do that it Celestia destroyed it! Right sis? *She looks at her but Celestia looks away* Sis...

Cutlass: *laughs heartily and Open sea gasps in delight* So it does still exist yar that there was more then I ever hoped to learn from you princess if it be out there you can bet the crew of the Star cutter will find it! *he scoops up Silver spoon* It looks like we won't be needing you for ransom after all missy!

Silver spoon: Ra-ransom!?

Open sea: Aye we may be pirates but we're not out of the loop it wasn't all that hard to find out that the daughter of the second richest Stallion in Equestria would be coming to these fair islands soon you know what? We should still ransom her to celebrate!

Cutlass: Perfect we'll bleed her family dry! But first... *he pick up his Radio* Attention you swabs the eye of the storm be real! And I got a good feeling it's somewhere on the Princesses island if not there be plenty of loot there so get down there and search!

The ship erupts with commotion as the rest of the crew heads down to raid the island the eye wasn't there but who cares at this point? The pirates had a new goal a tone of loot and on top of that...

Cutlass: *finishes his ransom call with Sterling* He's caving to our demands we just bankrupted 'em!

Celestia: *shakes her head softly* (This will be a difficult day to spring back from maybe I shouldn't have taken a vaction after all.)

Angelo: (What kinda talk is that for a goddess!)

Celestia: ! (Angelo! How is this possible?)

Angelo: (It takes more then a magical dampener to break our bond mother. Sit tight I'm working on a plan as we speak.)

Celestia: (I've been such a fool I thought I could do anything but I was defeated for I could even act.)

Angelo: (Mother your to hard on yourself. Goddess or mortal Princess or peasant we all have off days no one is perfect either you can't give up for one mistake.

Celestia: (But...)

Angelo: (Stop please you are to hard on yourself for to long you've only had yourself to rely on but you got Luna and me again to help you just have faith in me okay? I won't let you down.)

Celestia: (I will put my faith in you thank you Angelo.

Angelo: (Just sit tight I will be there soon okay mom?)

Celestia: *She gasps a little and smiles softly* (You you called me mom...)

Angelo: (Tis a strange saying but... one I feel you have earned from me I can't hold onto the sins of the past any longer if I wish to move forward with my life. Now hang tight I'm coming.)

Cutlass: Celestia!

Celestia: *jumps a little* W-what?

Cutlass: *puts a contract in front of her* Sign it.

Celestia: What is this?

Open sea: It's a bill to allow salvage ships back into these waters.

Celsetia: Why on earth would I sign that the salvage ships will ruin the envromient there are pockets of oil on the sea floor if they rupture it will comminate everything!

Open sea: WE don't care about the sea we just want ownership of it!

Cutlass: With the seas reopen to salvage ships we can easily steal one and search the sea for the eye now sign it or my darling daughter polly will give this little lass no more need for her glasses.

Silver spoon: *gagged and bond up as polly presses the blunt side of a dagger against one of her eyes just a flick of her wrist would poke her eye out*

Cutlass: So what's it going to be?

????: How about neither!

A cannon fire blasts through the state room knocking them all back Silver spoon and the princesses are protected by barriers as Angelo along with the mane six appear at what was once the back wall of the state room next to Pinkie's party cannon.

Pinkie pie: Ahoy maties!

Luna: You saved us but how did you get free!

Angelo: Later we need to get out of here. *cuts the 3 of them free and they rush out of the state room for Dash's family can get up.*

Silver spoon: *holding onto Angelo's neck* where do we go were so high up in the air!

Celestia: Get this thing off my head I'll warp away from here!

Twilight: We can't it's to dangerous to remove it here. It has a lock on it that if removed will make it explode it might kill you in this state! But if we can get far enough away from Cutlass first then remove it that won't happen!

Rainbow dash: over here the life boats should still be there!

Sure enough her memory was right there where several chariots suspended by clouds that Rainbow dash and Fluttershy hook into and the others climb in.

Cutlass: Get back here! *fast for his age he already caught up and Angelo duels him with a sword made of ice being in water mode at the time* Give it up I got the skills boy!

Angelo: Take off!

Twilight: But what about you?

Angelo: *busy fighting*

Rainbow dash: Lets go!

Celestia: be careful!

they leave him to fight they don't get far before Luna screams.

Apple Jack: What is it?

Luna: He doesn't know bout wing blades all pegasus solders know how to turn their wings into blades!

Fluttershy: but every pony knows about that.

Rainbow dash: Not every pony... *takes them back up.*

Angelo: *engaging Cutlass well and even knocks his sword away* Surrender you are unarmed.

Cutlass: I don't need a sword. *he extends his wings and Angelo tackles him*

Angelo: You will not escape me!

Cutlass: I don't have to. *Stabs him with both of his wings*

Angelo: *Coughs up blood* What the...

Cutlass: *lifts him up over his head and walks to the edge of the cloud* What a perfect day for a storm enjoy. *flings him off the ship and into the storming sea below*

Angelo: Why... *vanishes below the clouds.

Rainbow dash: No! *She breaks free from the chariot and does as Sonic Rainboom cutting htrough the cloud and catches him before slips into the waves below.* I can't... pull you up!

Angelo: let me go it will take us both

Rainbow dash: No I can do it!

Angelo: Your not strong enough to lift me straight up I'm to heavy.

Rainbow dash: I'm no quitter!

Angelo: *his eyes shift to blue* I know. *a ribbon of water comes out of the water and splashes in her face and she lets him go the water catches him but he's blacking out and can't hold it for long for he loses it he flings himself toward a nearby island before vanishing from sight.*

On a nearby island Twilight removes the devices from the princesses heads and they power back up as Rainbow dash lands.

Twilight: Did you find him?

Rainbow dash: I couldn't pull him up he tossed himself at that island over there!

Celestia: We have to get him away from there.

Luna: Why Tia?

Celestia: That's where the Eye of the storm is.


Coughing and bleeding Angelo drags himself onto the beach on the island he hears a loud whistling noise and looks up where he sees a small shrine and goes inside whree a tornado shaped crystal was blowing wind through a whole in the roof.

Angelo: *walks up to it and looks it over* the eye of the storm. *he reaches up and taps it making the storm come to an end and he puts it in his saddle* Can't leave this hear.

The clicking of a pistol gets his attention.

Angelo: Of course.

Turning around there was Open sea and Polly.

Open sea: Going somewhere?

Angelo: No... but you are. *he holds up the eye and taps it a burst of wind pushed them both a back and the wind catches Polly's wings and she is blown away.*

Open sea: Give it to me!

Angelo: If you say so. *he turns up the power and she is blown off the island into the sea and he puts it away again* Not going to happen today. *he limps out onto the beach and sees the others coming he waves at them but a pistol rings out and he falls to the ground bleeding from a shot to the back of his head.

Cutlass: Yar... *takes the eye from him* Thank ye. *he flies off as they get there.*

Celestia: Angelo! *she pulls him up and looks at his wound* Luna he has a pulse the bullet didn't go in!

Luna: Can you save him?

Celestia: I can do better then that. *her horn glows and she presses it against his forehead* May time be your guide. *He vanishes and they hear fighting behind them Cutlass was back and he was dueling Angelo.*

Twilight: What happened!?

Celestia: I sent his mind back in time 30 seconds and he was able to dodge the pistol shot and is resuming his battle proper step back. *she makes a barrier and they all scoot back as he and Cutlass continue their true battle.

Cutlass: How long can you last boy?

Angelo: *struggles to keep up with him he was still losing blood from the double stab earlier which Celestia couldn't erase.* Better then you old man.

Cutlass: I know all to well of your control over the earth and the waves but the problem be boy now I am the wind it's self! *He fires his pistol again this time he hits the eye of the storm making it fly up and he catches and his body glows green* It's time I show you why I was born Captian Twister! *He spins quickly and literally becomes a mini tornado then activates the eye's power his upper half reappears twice as large as before and his body half was now the tornado* I be reborn as Captian hurricane master of the Gallop and go islands! *Holding his cutlass in one of his hoofs he points it at Angelo and a mini tornadow shots off of it and snatches him up slamming him into a nearby palm tree. *These islands are mine!* He laughs and flies up and away as a terrible storm starts up.

Celestia: *gallops up to him along with the others* We must escape while we can can you stand my son?

Angelo: *drags himself to his feet* Mother I failed you I couldn't prevent him from getting the eye.

Celestia: It matters not we will deal with him later but it's to dangers to be here right now and the children are still imprisoned on the ship.

Wipe out: *jumps off a wave nearby on his board and the fillies are safe with him a moment later his sisters show up with Berry punch and Ditzy doo* No worries my lady we got that all covered plus we left the pirates a little gift. *points up at the ship and it explodes and crashes into the water nearby.

Apple Jack: Wipe out Tropical breeze Oceania how did you escape!?

Wipe out: *wipes his nose and chuckles* I still had my fishing knife on me used it to cut myself free then I saved the chillins for I rigged the powder room to blow they won't be bothering us anytime soon.

Rainbow dash: But they still got the eye they are going to wipe out the Gallop and gos!

Wipe out: the eye? Oh! Hang on a sec. *he walks over to his board and lifts it up then pulls out a gem from the underside of it* this the eye your talking about?

Celestia: *Gasps in realization* Yes! Now I remember that is the eye of the storm the real one! I created a fake with a fraction of it's power to keep looters at bay I sank the eye in a abyss deep below the waves how did you find it?

Tropical Breeze: Our great grandfather was a salvager for he married into the apple family and moved out here to try to raise apple trees then settled on pine apples. He found it before it was illiegal we thought it was just an ornament.

Wipe out: No way sis how do you think I surf when there are no waves?

Pinkie pie: Wait... so you have been using the source of our planet's weather... to Surf?

Wipe out: *tosses the orb up in the air and catches it* Pretty sweet huh?

Rarity: *rolls her eyes* (surfers.)

Celestia: Here is where the orb should stay too.

Angelo: Mother are you serious?

Celestia: Indeed I am while a very unorthadox guardian Wipe out and his kin have proven to be very clever in protecting the orb.

Angelo: Yep I was captured board and all and the captian guy evne got a look at it he didn't think it was of any value either.

Celestia: Indeed and the fake eye while powerful can only let him do so much he won't be a serious threat and it will be a long time before he realizes it is a fake we shall repair and strengthen the towers so the storms won't harm my or should I say... your island.

Tropical breeze: Are you serious?

Celestia: Yes I am I mostly wanted the island kept in my control because of the fond memories I had growing up here but I've come to realize that it would be better to turn it over to the pine apple family who can find a much better use for it then I.

Wipe out: No way we can move the whole family there no more 3 hour boat rides to the main land anymore we don't need to go back now!

Celestia: Enjoy and thank you for your services to me all these years.

The pineapple family bows to her and they all head back to the island for one last day of fun in the sun. Every pony not from the islands had enough fun in the sun to last quite a while.

I... I can't believe it. My actions in the Gallop and gos have proved to you mother that I am indeed ready to resume my post as the knight of Equestria and I am bound for Canterlot with Rarity who is to introduce me to several young stallions of the various noble houses she personally knows. The purpose is I am finally ready to begin creating my new order and to do that first I need willing squires to train. Hopefully True nobility hasn't deminished over the years I met some of the ponies that pass themselves off as nobles and I hope they all aren't like that I am not restarting the order to baby sit the heirs to family fortunes. I will use the local post to keep you updated as you know while the Knights serve the kingdom we are a seperate organization. We are here to serve everyone and I'm sure that just like then I can almost gurrentee that some of the royal guards are paid by nobles to keep an eye on things. While harmless in the grand scheme of things the populace must know that we truly stand alone so they have somepony to turn to when they feel the royal guards can't help them. The orginal compound is long gone and the building on top of it is in decay but fear not mother I do not need assistance in getting going just like my brothern of old.

Best regards

General Angelo Stargiver


8 am Canterlot Iron star district.

Rarity: *covering her mouth with a cloth* The air is so polluted here.

Angelo: Give it a minute...

Moments later the toxic and heavy fumes of the industrial district are gathered together with unicorn magic compressed into a cloud then blown away to the local trash dump where pegasus force it down to the ground and it's buried taking the fumes with it the air freshed in no time.

Rarity: Amazing how did you know that?

Angelo: It's the same process they used to keep the air clean from when I was a colt. We're almost there.

they soon leave the Iron star area and enter their goal the wall or residential area this is where non noble ponies lived in canterlot their area was known as the spire it's also where the castle was.

Angelo: The streets of Canterlot this is what I'm here to defend.

Rarity: *looks around though it was the most beautiful city in the world even it had a seedy side lots of con artists thieves and the like run around in this area.* I still can't imagine Twilight grew up in a place like this. Well before she became the Princesses student I mean.

Angelo: I grew up on these streets I was training to be a knight since I was 10 year old all to help mother get into Discord's court and take him down. I plan on cleaning these streets up now just like I did then. *he trips a pony running past him and the royal guards catch him a large pile of stolen goods fell out of his saddle* It takes a keen eye to tell who is innocent and who isn't. *he catches the hoof a pick pocket about to seal his coin purse and lets the theft go who runs away* It's also best to pick your battles if I turned in every single theft and pick pocket then-

Rarity: *interupts* You'd be out of a job?

Angelo: No... if I turn in every single one bigger and badder criminals would move in and stir up even bigger trouble it's a delicate balance you have to weed out enough that ponies feel safe but not to much that real criminals think they can squeeze in new territory. Control the balance not the ponies my mentor used to tell me that. *he rubs his head and Rarity notices the scar on his head which is normally covered by his mane*

Rarity: You lost your horn and wings right?

Angelo: Huh? Lost no ripped clean off yes.

Rarity: Goodness I can't imagine not living without my horn!

Angelo: For a few years after it happened neither could I but I had somepony there to help bring me back from the brink.

Rarity: Who?

Angelo: Amoria.

Rarity: Amoria!? You mean The Amora from the fairy tale?

Angelo: Fairy tale?

Rarity: You must read it uh... Oh there! *She points at the libary* There must be a copy there come on! *She drags him inside and they find it after awhile* There read this.

Angelo: *Takes the book an illistartion of himself and Amora was on it down in the ancient style ergo the style used in the shows orginal intro while Twilight narrated.* The angel and the dove... *he flips the book open and started reading.*

Long ago there existed a kingdom of chaos it was in this kingdom that a young prince was born. His name was Angelo and he was destined to bring about the end of one of the most tragic events in pony history. He was an unusal child as well he was an Alicorn the first Male Alicorn to be born in recorded history and sadly the last as well. While his mother went off to war he was left in the care of the fairest mare in the land. Her name was Amora and she was the power of love in a physical state. She used her magic to soothe the broken hearts of those who lost loved ones in the war and helped bring old friends and lovers back together. Angelo spent every waking moment in her care she taught him everything. How to walk how to talk and when he was only 8 years old how to fight for something he loved. He loved Amora not as his care taker but as something much more. Even she couldn't deny she felt something special for the child but it wasn't right. Still forbidden love is often the strongest of all. He grew up into a fine young stallion and had trained to become a knight to always defend his love even if she never returned it. Finally on the day he became a true Stallion she came to him. She couldn't deny her true feelings for him any longer and they were engaged. But Fate is cruel at times the day of their wedding Nightmare moon had began her rampage across the land and he was forced to leave her. She promised she'd wait for him as long as it took. 2 months later when the war ended she was taken to the forest and was shocked at what she found. There was Angelo her love who had petrified himself in stone along with the entire invasion force of Tartarus trapped in a endless battle in stone he sacrificed himself to keep these lands safe. Amora sat by his statue and waited... and waited... for her love to return. Finally after waiting 100 years she felt it was time to move on but before she left she etched a message into the ground and left to continue her life the message she wrote was.

Angelo: *looks up from what he was reading* I will leave you my greatest gift of love may you treasure it forever...

Rarity: Something wrong?

In his hoof was a sketch from the back of the book it was a picture of Amora's daughter Cadance and writing at a desk nearby with her mane done in a high pony tail... was Cadance having just returned from her study trip around the world and decoding all her most important info int oa single book.

Angelo: My gift. *His heart was racing* (She looks so much like her I can't believe it.)

Cadance: *looks up for a moment and watches them stare at her* Can... I help you with something?

Angelo: *glups* A-are you Cadance daughter of Amora?

Cadance: *flinches a little but relaxes when she reads the cover of the book he was reading* N-no I'm not I'm just a unicorn. *Her wings were covered by a vest*

Angelo: I-I see sorry for wasting your time. *he closes the book* Rarity I thank thee for showing me this tis good to know the fate of my beloved.

Rarity: Sure no problem...

Angelo: *he nods at Cadance* And to you I'm sorry for the mistake it seems my quest goes on longer still. *he leaves the libary and Rarity follows her Curious now too Cadance cleans up and tails them no pony has ever sounded that sure of guessing that she was a real alicorn before she needed to find out more.*

Rarity and Angelo stop outside the destination a large building built into the wall it's self in one of the oldest sections of the wall districts.

Angelo: *pats one of the slabs* I put this one in myself can't believe how well it held up.

Rarity: This is the knights barracks?

Angelo: Was but where we need to go should be in better shape.
