Chapter 11: The Third Arrives

It was a beautiful morning, the sun was shining, not to warm not to cold. It was the day before Applebuck Season. I woke up and looked beside me, it was another late night but this time Applejack woke up early and wasn't in the bed. I walked down and saw that Applejack and Big Macintosh were making breakfast. ''Hey Blade, what do you want for breakfast?'' ''Just some toast please.'' I responded. I got some toast and ate it up. I was never hungry in the morning. ''Big Mac will get some stuff for tomorrow. I'm busy here myself with the preps but we don't really have a job for you except patrolling the grounds.'' I nodded. Some Apples were probably already fallen, rotten or being eaten as we spoke. I finished up and went outside.

I was busy for almost for at least two and a half hours. I filled around ten baskets. I took a little break when Big Mac came by. ''Those are a lot of rotten apples this year. I hope we have none tomorrow when the Applebucking begins.'' I looked at him. ''If I did it good then we won't. I also picked the rotten Apples from the tree's.'' Big Mac nodded. ''Then we have a better harvest this year.''
Suddenly there was a green light emitting somewhere. Big Mac and I looked at the light, then to each other. I flew up and together with Big Mac we closed in on the light. There in the middle of field was a ten foot tall green orb. ''You know what that is Blade?'' Big Mac asked me but I couldn't speak. That was the exact same orb that kidnapped him to here.

Suddenly the orb began to shine bright. It hurts just to look at it. I tried to peek at what was happening and I couldn't believe my eyes. The Orb froze! The orb was freezing and when it was totally frozen the shining stopped. Big Mac and I looked at the orb as if it was about to lit up into flames. ''You thinking what I'm thinking Big Mac?'' ''Nope.'' ''There is a third human arriving and I'm wondering what he or she will be.'' The Ice began to shatter. We looked at it as if it would disappear when we wouldn't look. Suddenly with one big bang the Ice completely shattered. We quickly averted our eyes to make sure the Ice wouldn't get in them. When we looked back there stood a unicorn. The Blood red mane was long and had a hair clip in it, her tail was the same color. The coat was golden blond and she already had a cutie mark. A target with an arrow in the bull's-eye. That reminded me, did Bluestar had a cutie mark? I didn't really remember.

''Huh where am I?'' the unicorn said. The voice was feminine so we thought she was female. Big Mac walked to her, I slowly followed him, I had a bad feeling about this. ''Uhm excuse me miss..'' He put a hoof on her shoulder and the surroundings flashed past Big Mac's eyes. She threw him over her hip into the ground. ''That is your first mistake…'' What the hell, a horse? Wait.. I have hooves! What is going on here?'' I slowly flew to her and tried to stay out of her reach. ''Well, looking at your reaction you are definitely human.'' She looked around. ''Who said that, where are you?'' I slowly went down. ''Well, I'm here and I'm Blade Flarestorm, I recon you won't believe me but I was human too.'' She looked at me, clearly shocked. ''But you're a winged horse, a Pegasus. How can it be that you were human?'' ''Well the same happened to you miss. You are now a unicorn.'' There fell a silence.

''Ok, I believe you.'' My jaw dropped again. ''Really? Just like that?'' she nodded. ''It's all just so crazy and I never even thought about something like this. So it must not be something made by my mind what makes it a true possibility.'' I scratched my head. ''Well, maybe it's better if explain some things. So I'll get someone else and we can talk about it ok?'' ''Nope I'll just go with you. When you see one horse talk you've seen them all.'' And she walked away. ''Uhm, firstly it's this way and secondly it would be best to first take Big Mac to the farm.'' She turned around, Glared at me and nodded. ''I knew that.'' I sighed and prepared for the worst.

''Big Macintosh! What happened to you?'' Applejack and Applebloom both shook him. I pointed to the unicorn next to me and she again glared to me. ''You did this to my big brother? You're going to be sorry missy… Blade move out of the way so I can buck her to next week.'' ''Sorry but not yet, I first need to take her to Bluestar and then we can have you two bitchfight about him.'' I turned back to the door and the unicorn followed me. ''But Blade…'' Applejack said but we already left. She lowered her ears and turned her attention to Big Mac.

The strange unicorn followed me into Ponyville. Everybody greeted us happily and went back to their own stuff. ''These people are a friendly bunch.'' ''Yep that's why we like it here, even as humans.'' ''So there are more humans here?'' ''Well, just us and one other. He is a big nutjob so please don't kill him when you see him.'' She again glared at me. ''And please stop glaring at me!'' ''Sorry, you're just a person who I love to irritate.'' ''Sorry, already taken.'' She looked confused. ''What, here? By one of these horses?'' ''They prefer the term ponies for the record. It could be that we are here for a long time. And yes one of them.'' She laughed a bit. ''Sorry but it's just hard to believe that you, a former human, would fall in love with a pony.'' Now it was my time to glare. ''Just because their appearance is different doesn't mean I can't fall in love with them.'' I grinned. ''You'll see it when it hits you. But were here.''

We stood in front of the library. I knocked on the door and Spike opened up. ''Blade my Colt, what can I do for you? I don't think you have an appointment with Twilight.'' ''Nope, sorry Spike, we just came for Bluestar today. Can you call him?'' Spike nodded and walked inside. Within a minute Bluestar appeared. ''Hey Blade what's up? And who is the pony next to you? Wasn't applejack enough for you?'' He laughed but that was only a second until my hoof connected with his face. ''I thought he shouldn't be killed.'' ''He deserved it.'' After Bluestar regained consciousness the three of us went towards the border of the village. Meanwhile I looked at Bluestar's flank to see if he had a Cutie mark, which he had. A blue Star with a flame on every top. ''So where are we going to talk Blade?'' Bluestar asked. I pointed at a little hut just outside of Ponyville.

''So now that we're alone. Who is she?'' Bluestar pointed at the unicorn. ''This Bluestar is the third human. Or at least I don't think we missed someone falling in.'' The unicorn looked at us. ''Will you guys shut up and tell me some details on where I am and what I am.'' We nodded and Bluestar began. ''You are in the land called Equestria. The world of Earth Ponies, Pegasi, Unicorns and other legendary and mysterious creatures.'' ''We are Pegasi and we can fly like you saw me. You are an unicorn and have magic abilities like hovering stuff, maybe some attack magic. The one you took down was an earth pony. No wings, no magic but stronger than any of the others.'' ''Spike that little guy you met is a Dragon. To answer a question that might come.'' She looked at us and nodded. ''Ok and what is it that I have to do?'' Bluestar and I looked at each other. ''Just enjoy yourself.'' We said in unison. She then knocked us both out. ''Stupid boys.'' ''Hey, at least we don't try to hurt you.'' I said to her. ''There are some ponies or whatever they are that want to kill us here. I killed one of them but died in the process. Someone saved me and that's the only reason I'm still alive here.'' ''All the more reason we should leave. I don't want to spend my life here anyway.'' ''We can't.'' Bluestar suddenly said. ''Apparently someone summoned us to take care of something. That's the only reason we're here.'' We both looked at him. ''How do you know that?''

''Come on. All three of us came here because of some green substance. We all transformed into the natives here. And even got some power to stop it. Except if her magic is useless.'' Again she hit him KO. ''*Sigh* Well, I believe you guys, again. But I don't know if I'll be able to hang around with these ponies. I don't really like this.'' She acted feminine for the first time. ''Well you have us as fellow humans… Wait we don't even know your name!'' She startled and looked at us. ''I'm sorry that is rude. My name is Mary Elizabeth Storm. Nice to meet you.'' She smiled and we shook hooves. This could be a good friendship right? I doubted myself a little.

Suddenly we heard screaming outside. When we were outside all hell broke loose. There were green flames everywhere and smoke. There were flying black unicorns that I recognized as the changeling. And I saw some ponies four or five times. ''What the hell is going on? There was only one last time.'' Bluestar looked at me. ''You couldn't even defeat one of those changelings?'' ''Hey, he transformed in a dragon and sneak attacked me and… Wait how do you know them.'' ''Duh, they were the main enemy in a Canterlot Wedding.'' Mary and I both looked at him. ''Never mind but we have to stop them before they use everypony there as food.'' Mary looked at me. ''Everypony?'' ''They use pony instead of body with those things. Never mind them but he is right we need to do something.'' Mary nodded and together we ran down towards Ponyville.

It was chaos, everypony was or captured or being attacked by reflections. ''Hey you!'' Bluestar said to some of the copies. They turned around and got hit in the face by his weapon. They were directly knocked out and I opened my mouth in awe. He smirked at me and I became angry. ''Still no Dragon'' And we went further to the square. We stopped when we heard screaming behind us. Mary had fallen behind and was surrounded by the changelings. ''Don't come closer! She yelled and she threw some of the changelings on the ground. Hard! Bluestar hit some of them and I bucked the last away to oblivion. From the street we saw another wave coming. ''Move aside!'' Mary said while pushing us aside. She concentrated and her horn began to glow. Multiple arrows of Ice appeared in the air. The wave of changelings stopped and looked at what was about to happen. Mary stood up on her hind hooves and made an archer pose. The arrows suddenly shot away at the changelings and there was a soft explosion and a dust cloud. The entire wave was defeated. ''I know I'm good boys but didn't you say we had some ponies to rescue?''

We galloped towards the square. There were hundreds of duplicates surrounding a select group of ponies. ''Now it's my turn.'' My mane and tail lit up and I shot towards the duplicates. Some of them I hit with my hooves, the rest got hit by the fire and at least half changed back to their original form. Mary attacked again with her Ice Arrows from the back and also hit a large amount of the fakes. The survivors changed direction and went back to get back up. ''Get out of town, we will handle it Mayor.'' The mayor nodded and the villagers went away. The main six galloped to us. ''I'm so glad you're ok guys. We already took some out but this is one mighty big army.'' Applejack said to us. ''We already saved some of the villagers.'' Bluestar said. ''Pinky pie stepped forward. ''Don't worry when they come close again, I'll use the Twilight gun!'' She grabbed Twilight and hold her like a gun. ''Pinkie, not this again.''

All nine of us stood in the square. From all sides were coming changelings. We already beaten a lot of them but they kept coming. ''Is there really no end to them? How were they defeated last time?'' Mary asked. ''Well it may sound a little stupid but with love.'' Bluestar responded. Mary didn't paid any attention to the remark and fired another fury of Arrows. ''Don't they have a leader or something?'' I asked and Bluestar thought about it. What was her name again? ''Queen Chrysalis!'' Rainbow Dash suddenly said. ''that's it that is their…leader…'' Before us landed another changeling. But this one was bigger than the others and wore some kind of crown. She stepped forward and her minions stopped attacking. ''Don't worry little ones. I just came for the humans and kill them. After that I'll probably leave.'' She laught. We didn't say anything to be safe. ''You're not giving me the humans? Well that's too bad. Now you will all die here!'' Her horn glowed and a green flare shot right at us. Mary jumped in front and casted her Ice Arrows to neutralize the fire. With a big bang smoke covered the streets.

''Not bad my dear, not bad. Your magic is certainly of high level. What is your name?'' Mary glared at Chrysalis. ''Like hell I'll tell you!'' Bluestar and I looked at each other. Please don't say you're human, please don't. We both said in our minds. ''I won't watch that someone as fucked up as you, lay doom on these nice and innocent people, I mean ponies.'' Chrysalis looked at her. Bluestar and I facehooved ourselves. She had betrayed herself and everyone knew that. ''So you're one of the humans. I'll be glad to make somepony like you suffer!'' Her horn glowed again. ''You human garbage are only good for being my toy!'' She lifted Mary and threw her in the ground. But Mary stood up, with blood flowing out of her mouth. ''What do you know… About the human potential?''
