Chapter 15: Humanity

Bluestar's place
''Where the hell am I?'' Bluestar asked. He tried to stand up and when he did he wished he forgot something. He looked at the staircase outside his room. He was back home. ''I'm home… Ha-ha, I'm home!'' He cheered happily, he was home. ''Who is up there?'' Someone yelled. Bluestar looked down the stairs and saw his father. ''Dad! It's me, Blue… I mean Johnny.'' The man looked at him. ''Johnny? Johnny is that really you?'' He came up and Bluestar backed up to give his father some space. ''It's really you son… you have wings, Johnny doesn't have wings.'' His father backed up. ''Wings?'' Bluestar looked around and saw his wings. ''Wait what? Where did I get these wings from?'' He looked at his father again. ''Dad, please trust me, I'm Johnny, your son. Look me in the eyes and see that I'm your son.'' His father looked with disbelief.

But the longer he looked the more he saw his son inside the winged boy before him. ''Johnny!'' His father hugged him. ''Where were you the past week? We were so worried when your brother said you just disappeared.'' They hugged some more and let go. ''I'll tell everything downstairs. Is everyone here?'' His father nodded. ''Ok that makes this easier and faster. I have an appointment to keep.'' They went downstairs. Scared by the wings his family backed off. But after some convincing his family accepted him. They sat around the table and listened to his story.

''That is unbelievable. So you were transported by this rift in time and space, as you called it.'' Bluestar nodded. ''Wow, and did you say you met that Blade guy? So how is he?'' Johnny shot up. ''Shit, Blade. I need to get to the archery range right now.'' He ran to the door. ''Maybe I'll take them with me later.'' He ran but didn't get far, his mother caught his arm. ''And where do you think you're going without a shirt? And what about those wings?'' Bluestar blushed. ''Shirt is a good idea and I'll wear the wings like a costume, or at least Blade would think of that.''

Icestorm's arrival
Icestorm looked around, she saw an alley, the same alley where she disappeared. ''Ok, this is weird. I'm back on Earth. Now what.'' Icestorm went towards the street when she saw something shining in her eye. ''I don't want to see but what was that on my head.'' She said to herself while looking in a broken mirror. She saw her face and shocked. She still had her horn on. ''Ok, not good. Definitely not good, it's even worse than not good it's just plain bad it's… The perfect way to show who I am. Brilliant.'' She shook away the thoughts of being looked at with that horn and walked towards her street. She saw that it was really the same alley and her Aunt's house was just a few meters away. ''Maybe a quick visit won't hurt.'' She then strayed of her route to visit her aunt.

Knocking was heard on the door. A woman opened the door and saw a girl standing in front of her. ''Mary! Oh dear god where have you been?'' Icestorm hugged her Aunt. ''I missed you Auntie.'' Icestorm smiled and she tightened the hug. ''Oh dear, I missed you too. But what timing. Your parents also just arrived.'' Icestorm stepped back. ''What?'' Her aunt grabbed her arm and pulled her in. ''You can tell everything in the living room where your parents are. They will be delighted to see you again.'' Icestorm struggled but it felt futile. They arrived in the living room where she was left in the middle while her Aunt sat down. Icestorm looked and saw her parents staring at her. ''Ok sweetie.'' Her Aunt said. ''Begin with the thing on your head. Why do you have a horn.''

Her parents were shocked, her Aunt looked understanding. Icestorm didn't know what they thought. ''Mary…Are you sure this is what happened. Didn't you bump your head or something and was kidnapped or'' ''Oh shut up Steve.'' Icestorm's Aunt butted in. ''Why would she lie? After all those stories of her I know one thing. She doesn't lie, she doesn't imagine, she stays with both feet on the ground and tries her best to do what is right. Just like mother thought us.'' Icestorm's father looked shocked. ''You mean…'' The Aunt nodded. ''Yes Steve, and now it's time to let her go.''

Icestorm looked confused. ''What are you talking about? What letting me go?'' They looked at her. ''Just that you look so much like your grandmother. And now you will join her in experience. An experience we could never offer you. It's time that you… follow your own path.'' Steve was talking like they didn't have time left. ''Your Grandmother came back because she had people and things her when she went there. But she was twenty-five. Your just seventeen. If you want to stay there we won't stop you. Just do what feels right.'' Icestorm looked shocked, her father did understand her. Like he never did before. She hugged her father and stepped back up. ''Thank you…Thank you so much.''

Blade's walk
I was walking towards the Archery when I noticed that I passed my street. I stopped and looked towards it. ''Mom…Dad…'' I saw the car. I knew they were home. ''Maybe they will appreciate the visit. I walked towards the door. I didn't had that much time. I looked around and rang the door. Like usual, it took some time until the real bell was heard. The door opened and before me stood my brother. ''Hey…Bro.

My brother looked at me, I didn't know what he thought but it wasn't good. I was ready for anything. ''Hey…Blade.'' He held out his hand. I took it and we shook. As if we were confirming our identity. I got a hit on my cheek and I knew he punched me. ''It's really you… After a month you suddenly appear again. While wearing a costume? What is wrong with you?'' I stood up. I deserved that. ''Sorry to ruin your anger bro but this isn't a costume.'' I expanded my wings and flapped them to gain momentum. I flew in front of my brother. ''You can fly…'' He went inside and I followed him. Inside was the whole family. From parents to grandparents from niece to brother. Everyone was here. ''This is real?'' ''Yes dad, he is back. Blade is back.''

After some greetings and explanation I had some free time. I talked with my parents in private together with my brother. ''So what did you do out there? Saving lives?'' I nodded. ''Wow, and you say you talked to grandpa there?'' I nodded again. ''Blade, do you even know what you're saying?'' My father asked me. ''Yes dad and I'll show you.'' I concentrated and my hand was on fire. ''Proof enough? This is me with unlimited possibilities. And let me use this power to save others.'' My parents thought. ''Let me put it this way. If I return there… will you wait for my return one day? Will you try to stay with me, even if I'm not here?'' After some looking my parents finally nodded. ''We will wait for you, our winged son.'' My mother said.
'Show them your willpower.'' My dad said me and my brother ended the speech. ''Make them regret making a Flarestorm mad.'' This family was awesome.

Blade: I'll have to go now, my friends are waiting.
Icestorm: I'll go to my friends now, they need my help.
Bluestar: Shirt check, wings ok. Now to the archery.

All: I'm on my way…*Sound of a microphone*

''Testing, testing one two.'' We all looked at the sky. There was a person hovering above the tallest building in the city, with something glowing. It looked like a horn. ''Ahh, people of Elkolta. I'm your host. Black Hole and now I'll kill you all, unless three special visitors will come forth.'' He laughed ''Here is a little example.'' He snapped his fingers and with a loud bang buildings exploded. ''Oh no you don't.'' Bluestar said and he went up. ''Be careful Johnny!'' Bluestar nodded. ''I'll come and get you, bye dad, Auntie, mum.'' And Icestorm ran towards the voice, her parents waving at her. ''Why her?'' ''Because she is strong. Strong enough to safe us all.'' ''It's time.'' I walked outside. ''Give them hell bro!'' I heard my brother say. They stopped behind me when I spread my wings and lit it aflame. ''Wow.'' I looked up. ''Time to kick ass.'' And I tried to sped up towards the voice when I was stopped by my Brother. ''You lost it, Don't lose it again.'' I looked at what he gave me. He gave me the sunglasses I wore when I disappeared. ''I put my name in it. So don't forget us, understood?'' I nodded, they were afraid. ''I'll win and return someday. Just you wait.'' I shot up, not forgiving Black Hole for this. Playing with their hearts. But also thank him, for showing me, letting me tell, my family, what happened.

''Come on, you know who I'm talking about. Blade, Icestorm, Bluestar. Or should I call you by your real names. Johnny Blaze, Mary Elizabeth Storm, Blade Flarestorm.'' Black Hole spoke. Some people looked shocked. ''Those are the missing kids.'' ''What are their connections?'' Something shot across the sky. ''Ahh Bluestar, You've arrived.'' Bluestar stopped above a roof and landed, about 100 feet away from Black Hole. Ice appeared at the edge and Icestorm appeared on the roof. ''Now I really wish I had wings like you.'' Bluestar laughed, but Black Hole also did. ''Blade, Blade, Blade! Where are you? Your friends have arrived, or are you just a coward.''

I shot between the streets. Going towards them.

''Black Hole, one tip.'' Bluestar said. ''You're playing with fire, with a Flare. And if you don't pull your hand back soon. Well, you get burned badly.'' Black Hole laughed but Icestorm interrupted. ''You should listen. Even though we are not exactly the best friends I'm glad to call him a friend. I would run away faster than someone ever went if I called these two enemy's.'' ''Same goes for me.'' Bluestar reacted and Black Hole laughed harder. ''You're bluffing. You barely beat Chrysalis and she is weak. I'm the Right hand of the three lords. No human can stop me!''

The armor wasn't that heavy anymore, it felt like a weight was lifted of my shoulder, my doubt, my fears.

Bluestar shot up pulled out his Sansetsukon and attacked Black Hole. ''To slow stupid human.'' Bluestar closed in and put the Sansetsukon above his head. ''Please let it work, the training must have worked.'' He spun the Sansetsukon around and round. Faster and faster. Blue sparks came out and eventually blue flames appeared. ''What is this? This isn't reported. Where is that move? Where is the dragon sleeper?!'' Black Hole knew their attacks but was unprepared. ''Blue Whirlwind!'' The tornado appeared just like training. It went straight for Black Hole and hit him. ''Nooo!'' Black Hole grabbed the Tornado with his magic while Icestorm appeared behind him. ''Ice Javelin!'' A large Ice arrow went straight for Black Hole but he also stopped that attack with his magic. ''Black Hole.'' A portal opened and the attacks were sucked in. ''You have nothing that can penetrate my defense.''

''Oh yeah? We have a Blade.'' I landed on the roof. ''What did I miss?'' ''Oh nothing, just the usual bad guy talk and ultimate defense talk.'' I nodded. ''Good.'' I made a fist of my hand and pointed it to Black Hole. It lit up and burned bright. ''I'll tell you something Black Hole. We will defeat you, return to Equestria and stop your masters.'' My fist began to fire up and it became bigger and brighter. ''Because the is nothing, I repeat nothing that will stop us from helping our friends in need. Nothing that stops us from helping the Earth. We protect them both from scum like you. So you better give up now.'' Black Hole looked angry and came charging at me. I flew up and went straight to him, my fist hit him in the face and he barely scratched me. He flew backwards into a wall. ''How can you have become stronger?''

''Because we're human. Never underestimate us.'' I grabbed him and threw him up high. Icestorm shot arrows and hit him dead on. Black Hole flew down and Bluestar closed in. He turned the Sansetsukon and became a Blue flaming Tornado. ''No, this isn't possible.'' Black Hole got hit and flew up again. Thanks to the tornado he wasn't above the building again but above an empty crossing. I jumped of the roof and set myself aflame. ''Flare Dive to finish you off.'' We both went down. ''You're mad, completely mad! You won't survive this.'' I smiled, ''Oh yes I will.'' We were still pretty high, I sped up and I felt something coming. A large bang was heard, wind revolved around my face. Sonic Flareboom. I let Black Hole go and pulled up. A loud hit was heard on the street. A large dust cloud appeared and all three of us appeared around it. ''You won't stop my masters. They will destroy you.'' Icestorm glowed white. ''Oh shut up you!'' She clapped her hands and Black Hole got encased in ice. ''Nice.'' Bluestar said. Icestorm clapped again and the ice shattered. ''Go to hell.''

''You'll pay for this…'' He fell unconscious. ''Well, that was quick…'' I said with a laugh, ''but what am I glad to see you guys.'' I gave them a hug when we heard thunder behind us. We turned to the crater and a green orb was at the place where Black Hole laid. ''What is this?'' Black Hole coughed and touched it. He got sucked in and he was gone. ''Is…Is that our way back?'' Bluestar asked. I nodded and Icestorm looked at us. ''You really want to go back? We could be killed there.''
''I know, but what would you do? We know that they will barely survive when those lords attack. We must at least make sure they will survive when we're gone.'' I looked her straight in the eyes with those words. ''So you're really sure?'' I nodded. ''Good, we don't need a doubt when we go there. Even if return is impossible.'' Bluestar said. We walked towards the orb when our parents arrived.

''Are you going?'' We nodded. ''We have to.'' They averted their eyes. ''Just come back safely ok.'' We nodded. ''We will mother.'' Icestorm said. We walked to the Green light and touched it at the same time. ''Here we go!'' The light became brighter and sucked us in. We left Earth for the second time. With a small chance of returning. But we knew, that Equestria was in danger. We knew what we had to do. We know that we are the only ones that can defeat them. With newfound power, motivation and trust.
