Chapter 13: Truth Revealed

The cleaning of the town took two days. Mary, Bluestar and I were taken into the hospital for the needed rest. Since everybody was busy we talked among ourselves and got to know each other better. ''So because we have some kind of nickname you should have one too.'' Bluestar began. ''But Blade's name is Blade. What part is the nickname?'' Mary reacted. ''But I know what you mean. Every time they hear Mary it sounds strange, but Bluestar isn't.'' I also mixed in. ''Why won't you do something like Ice Arrow or Arrow Storm because of your attacks and name?'' She thought but shook her head. ''Good idea but those two are lame…''
''What about IceStorm then?'' She nodded. ''That's a nice name, I like it.''

After a week we could come out. The main six were waiting for us. When we stepped out Applejack jumped in for a hug. I could barely hold my balance. ''Hey Applejack, I'm glad to see you too.'' We've hadn't seen each other after the battle. It was a mess everywhere and besides that it was Applebuck season. ''I'm just glad you're ok. I was mighty worried back then. You three began cleaning that mess up while you were 'bout to faint of exhaustion.'' We looked at each other. ''We were partly responsible so we figured we had no right to rest.'' Bluestar said. Twilight walked up to him. ''That's nonsense Bluestar. You guys saved this town from further destruction. We're very grateful.'' With those words Twilight hugged Bluestar. Rarity got that sleek smile again, just like when Applejack tried to tell me she loved me for the first time. Suddenly we heard Spike yelling. ''Twilight! A letter from Princess Celestia.'' He jumped on her back and showed it to her. Twilight read the first sentence and rolled it up again. ''It's for you three.'' And she hovered the piece of paper in front of us. The letter was short but clear.

To Bluestar and Blade,

Please come to my throne room ASAP.
There are some things you should know.

Princess Celestia.

''Well, I think that means you too Ma… I mean IceStorm'' The main six looked confused and Rainbow Dash spoke up. ''We remember that she stepped forward and said she was human. But who is she?'' I answered it. ''This is Mary Elizabeth Storm, but now we call her IceStorm. The third human that came in Equestria.'' The girls looked at her and smiled, except Applejack. She closed in on Icestorm and everypony stared at her. ''I should hit you for what you did to my brother.'' She took a deep breath. ''But you helped save everypony so I will forgive you for now.'' Icestorm stepped back a little. Applejack looks very scary when she is mad.

''Why won't we go too?'' Twilight said out of nowhere. Dash nodded. ''Yeah, I hate getting left in the dark.'' Bluestar thought until he finally said. ''Hell, she likes you. Why would she mind?'' Fluttershy did a little 'yay' sound and we surrounded Twilight. Her horn began to glow and we disappeared in thin air.

Princess Celestia was sitting on her throne. Next to her stood her little sister Luna. ''Dear Sister, what is this about?'' Celestia just looked at her. ''It when you were on the moon Luna, so just wait till they come and I'll tell the story.'' A few minutes later a bright flash appeared before them and nine ponies stood before her. Well, eight standing and one lying down. For some reason the teleport shocked me and while I lay down you could see electric currents over my body. ''Well that's strange only he got problems.'' Twilight said, I stood up again and tried to go back to normal. When it worked we walked towards both Princesses, Bluestar took the lead. ''We came as fast as possible your majesty's. We hope you won't mind we brought them along.'' Celestia shook her head. ''I was hoping they would come. Now come with me. I will show you the legend.''

We walked to a great hall with window sculptures, or whatever they're called. They were just beautiful. We turned right into a small hallway towards a door that nobody probably noticed. Celestia's horn began to glow and the door slowly opened. We walked in and there were three statues of pony's that stood in a triangle. In the middle was a book. When we got closer I saw that it looked more like a Logbook than a book. Celestia took the book with her magic and let it float between us. ''This is a logbook written by the three heroes.'' She opened the book and the first two lines read.

Logbook of the Human's. Flare, Archer, Blaze.

a.k.a. Johan Flarestorm, Elise Storm and Carl Blaze.

When I saw it a bell rang. That shadow dude in his head called himself Flare. Could he be his… ''No that's not possible. My grandfather is dead for ten years.'' They all looked at me. ''What do you mean Blade?'' Bluestar asked. ''That guy that pretty much lives in my head is called Flare. But it says here that Flare is my grandfather. My grandfather was Johan Flarestorm. He moved from the Netherlands to the US for some friends he never met.'' Icestorm now reacted too. ''My Grandmother's name is Elise Storm so does that mean it's my grandmother that came here. And besides that my Grandmother moved from France to the US for some friends but never met them.'' We looked at Bluestar and he shrugged his shoulders. ''We already lived in the US but sometimes my grandfather still says that he waits till he meets his friends.''

Confusion raised And Celestia cleared her throat again. When we all looked back at her she talked. ''It is better that you three read it.'' We nodded and opened the book. Every page was divided in three parts. One with Fancy writing, one with normal writing. And the last one was just messed up, even though it had the longest message. The first two clearly held a message, but the last one was harder to decipher. The fancy one was recognized by Icestorm. ''That's French. Everyone in my family had to learn it from my Grandma. I'll read it.''

Dear granddaughter or further back.

My name is Elise Storm, if you read this you have landed in a world of danger. There is evil trying to destroy you. But that just means we failed. If you're lucky you have two friends with you. One with the name Blaze, And one with Flarestorm. They have great powers an are great friends, that's in their blood. But hopefully you will already know that. We made a promise to move closer to each other.
I also want to say sorry to you three. What brought you here is my spell that I casted. It transport the one that inherited the power of us. Flare controlled fire, Blaze was a fighter and I fired different elemental arrows. But don't worry, I will help a bit. In the statue of the archer I put a spell book I made. Put it in good use.

Elise 'Archer' Storm

Icestorm ran towards the statue to look for the book. She had tears in her eyes. Those were beautiful words said by her Grandmother. ''ok, my turn… Ah the normal one is from Blaze.'' Bluestar said and we waited till Icestorm returned. She found the book and came back. ''Ok, I'll begin reading.''

Hello Grandson,

You probably understood the situation you're in with Elise's message but you must be careful. The ones that want to destroy Equestria are really strong. Flare almost lost his life when he battled them. If his grandson is as foolhardy as he is, then I fear for his life to. But you two are probably great friends now. Or not but I just hope you are. If everything went alright you will have a weapon of some sorts. If not, well you should look in the pocket of my statue, I left my weapon there. Also a small letter with techniques, you'll probably need them to defeat them. Also watch out. As the muscle you have the responsibility to defend everyone. Put your heart in your attacks and use them to defend your friends. That is the source of your power. Godspeed to you all.

Carl Blaze

Bluestar wiped away some tears. Twilight hugged him and together they walked towards the Pegasus statue. ''Blade, can you decipher what your grandfather wrote down here?'' Celestia asked. I nodded and looked. It was a mess but I could make out some words. By the time Bluestar and Twilight came back with the stuff of the statue I deciphered the writing. ''It's probably not all correct but it's something.

Grandson,

If you read this evil has raised his ugly head. Like said above we were the three that had to defeat him. He had a brother and a sister but they were killed in the fight. He was the most dangerous and escaped and now he probably wants revenge. This was 300 years ago. Now you and two others have found their way here. And if you're lucky I already told you about all this. I won't lie. I'm ashamed that I let him go but I was afraid to die. I had a girl I liked back on earth and wanted to be with her. Not lose my life here. Later I felt ashamed. From that day forward I made a promise and oath. And I want you to do it too. Don't die and return with a smile to friends and family, don't die until you shown your smile.

In contradiction of the other two I have nothing of techniques to leave for you. You must do it on your own but I'll give you a hint. The finishing move's name is Flare Dive. Like it? I do have a gift. The wings of the Pegasus pony statue has armor. This was mine and now it will be yours. Use it well, I'll always watch over you.

Johan Flarestorm.

Now I was sure. The manner of speaking/writing was the same. This was his grandfather and he was the shadow dude in his head. I flew towards the second Pegasus statue and looked at the armor. It was a mix of yellow and white, but more white. It was hard to put on but thanks to Celestia who helped me I got it on. It was heave and it had become rusty. But it didn't matter, I also felt the pride which my grandfather had in wielding it. ''Let's look further into the book.'' The other nodded and we turned a page. It was blank. We tried the next one, and the next one, and the next one. All blank.

''What is that supposed to mean?'' Applejack asked. Pinkie Pie jumped up and down. ''Maybe it's a code or maybe it's invisible ink. Or, Or…'' Rainbow put her hoof in Pinkies mouth. We arrived at the last page where there were more coded lines that was the handwriting of my grandfather.

I'm sorry that the book is empty. There is no time. We had more battles and no time. When we finally defeated the most severe we wanted to relax with other ponies. But our only ticket out of here arrived. A portal to Earth. We choose to take it. We hope you all can forgive us. It was Elise who didn't want to write everything and Blaze was training all the time. Relatively a small amount of people can read my handwriting so I didn't write either. The portal is closing so I'll go. Good luck to all.

My jaw was on the floor. Everybody stared and said nothing. ''That. Is the biggest. Troll ever.'' And I began to laugh. Two seconds later I was hit on my head by Icestorm but continued laughing. ''This is terrible, we now don't know how and who to defeat.'' Bluestar said. Celestia walked to the door and opened it. ''Well, there is nothing else we could do. So go home and prepare for the worst. Meanwhile you should train. Maybe those techniques will give us an edge if there is battle.''

With that we returned home. Twilight and Bluestar went to the Library and Applejack and me went to Sweet Apple Acres. Icestorm went with Pinkie Pie and the rest returned to their own respective homes. ''You're grandfather sounds like a cheerful… man, you call it?'' I nodded. ''I remember little but he always tried to have fun. A mild form of Pinkie you could say but in an awesome way. He wanted to go with a smile, when I asked why he said: Because that's the promise I made with some friends.'' Applejack gave me a kiss. ''Well, you still have us. We will always be here.'' That was what I was afraid of. What if we are forced to go home… to earth?
