Previous Chapter Next ChapterChapter 27: Royal Guard Training, Part 5
I teleported us back to the castle and all the way to the throne room. Once the smoke dissipated, I saw Princess Celestia and Princess Luna were talking before we barged in. Good, I won't need to have Princess Luna be summoned.
"Swift Blaze, would you care to explain why you barged in? You are suppose to be on your survival exercise in the EverFree Forest." Princess Celestia said.
"I am sorry your highness, but this could not wait." I said as the others in front of me stepped away. "I think I might have found the cause for that tornado. Another human as come to Equestria."
Both Princess came down from the throne to look at the human. Now with better lighting, I could see what he looked like. He has a slightly buffed body with a six pack chest I could see through his torn shirt. His hair was ghost white, any whiter it would blind you. He was about 6ft tall I would have to guess.
"What happened out there Blaze?" Princess Celestia asked.
I began to tell when we came across the old castle. Went into seeing the Timberwolves bodies were less than from before. Found the human in the tower and he attacked us.
"Why do you think the human acted that way?" Princess Luna asked.
"I don't know, but I know a way to find out that will be safe for everypony. I enter his mind and have a chat with him." I said.
"I want you to bring Captain Shining Armor in with you so I can get a report of what is discussed." Princess Celestia said.
"Of course Princess."
Princess Celestia used her magic and summoned Shining Armor to the throne room.
"Yes your highness? What is your request?" Shining Armor asked.
"Captain Shining Armor, Blaze and the other recruits have found another human in the EverFree Forest. He came back here with the human to inform us. The human is currently under Blaze's Genjutsu as he has already attacked them. I want you to go in with Blaze into the human's mind and report back what happens."
"Of course Princess Celestia." Shining Armor turns to me. "Why is it you are always at the center of the trouble when it comes?"
"I can't help it when the universe likes to troll me." I said.
"Huh? Whatever. You ready Blaze?"
"Just waiting on you sweetheart."
Shining Armor shot me an angry glare after I said that. I lay the human on the ground. I lay down as well and Shining Armor followed. I perform the Genjutsu and we entered this human's mind.
Once inside, we appeared in the blank space.
"Does the human mind always appear this empty?" Shining Armor asked.
"No, this is the part where thoughts are gathered. He isn't thinking of anything because of the Genjutsu I have him under with. I am going to bring out his conscious."
I used my mind and had his inner self show up. He rose from the floor and was chained to a metal post.
"What is going on? Where am I? Why are their horses here in clothes?" The human was shouting out. I can now see his eyes were brown.
"Please calm down as we are going to explain." I said.
"Wait, you were at that structure in the woods. I guess I finally lost it. Hello loony bin."
"You are not crazy. If you remain calm and don't attack us, I will release you from those chains. Everything will be explained."
He nodded and I made the chains disappear, along with the metal post. He looked himself over and then at us. His face looks like he was concentrating on something.
"If you are trying to use your abilities, they won't work here. We are inside your mind."
"Ok, you said you were human back in the woods. Why do you look like a horse then."
"Not a horse form. This is a pony body. I will show you my human form as I can do it only in the mind for the moment." I changed my appearance to my human form. I stuck my hand out. "Let's start the introduction over. My human name is Bob, but I go by a different name here called Swift Blaze."
He shook my hand and said, "My name is Alvin, but you can call me Al."
I have two things to say before we go to the actual questions. One, where is Simon and Theodore? Two, is your favorite catch phrase, 'I don't think so Tim.'?"
"One, lost them in Bora Bora. Two, I don't think so Bob."
We both began to laugh hard. Shining Armor cleared his throat to remind him he was still there.
"Sorry about that. I had to say those jokes when Al told me his name." I said.
"It has been a long time since I had a good laugh like that. You are a human if you know about those shows." Al said.
"Eeyup." I said in my Big Mac voice.
"I know I have heard that exact thing from somewhere. But where?"
"Let's see if I can jog your memory. What comes to mind when I say mane 6 and brohoof?"
His was thinking for a little bit. Al's eyes suddenly lit up as something click in the mind.
"Wait, don't tell me where I think I am."
"Who does this Unicorn look like?" I said as I pointed to Shining Armor.
Al's eyes went wide. "Shining Armor! Captain of the Royal Guard! Also is mmph. . ."
I place my hand over his mouth before he said what he was about to say. "On'tday entionmay inhay arryingmay incesspray adancecay. Ashay anway otnay appenedhay yetway."
He nodded and I took my hand away from his mouth. I could see that Shining Armor was interested in what Al was about to say about him.
"Blaze, why did you stop him from talking? Also what was that language you were saying to him?" Shining Armor asked.
"The answer to the first part, he was about to say something about a popular story a fan wrote about you. The other part is the language of the bronies. It will take over a year to teach it to you if you want to learn it." I said.
"Thanks, but no thanks."
"Getting back on track, Al I think you know this is probably the most important one that needs answers to. What happed to you on December 21st, 2012?"
"That would be important to know, I can't remember much as it was a long time ago for me." All said.
"Less than a month is a long time for you?"
"A MONTH! I HAVE BEEN IN HELL FOR OVER A YEAR!"
"Calm down. You are not in hell anymore. You are in Equeatria. Everything is going to be fine."
Al started to calm down. "I'm ok now. Just hearing that surprise how long you have been here while I have been in hell."
"If you give me permission, I can pull the memory of that day and we can watch it from your perspective."
"I think that would be best. I would like to find out why I was sent to hell."
I created a movie theatre setup and began to play the memory.
-12/21/2012-
(Al's POV)
I knew this was going to be a fun day. I was looking outside my apartment in the middle of a city. Could not get out of here with all the riots happening everywhere. The tv was just repeating the message over and over on all channels that Marshal Law is in effect. Instructing us to stay indoors and lock all windows and doors. No shit Sherlock. Only an idiot will go and join the riots for fun.
I headed back to my bedroom and went to feed my pet, a Japanese rhinoceros beetle. I named him Kabuto after a character in one of my favorite anime. How I acquired him was pure accident. I was heading home after getting off the subway. It was raining like cats and dogs. As I was running home, I saw something strange in a puddle. It was a big beetle on its back. It looked cool so I picked it up and brought him home with me. I gave him some fresh fruit that was not to watery. I turned and faced my other thing I liked, my collection of knives.
I have gathered a nice knife collection. I had a ballistic knife, several bayonets, combat knives, and daggers. I had at least 5 dozen throwing knives of different style and weight. The rare knives I had started in WWII and go all the way back to the 11th century.
While I was doing the maintenance on the newer knives I have recently purchased, I heard heavy banging on my door. I quickly grabbed several throwing knives and placed them in my back pocket with one at the ready. I approach the door when it was busted down. By reaction, I began to throw the knives at the intruders that came storming in. I hit two of them dead center in the chest and a third in the head. They fell instantly no one else was coming through the now busted door. I went to check on the people I killed and saw I murdered police officers.
SHIT! SHIT! SHIT! Why in the world did they not state they were cops? I am in a heap load of shit now! I have to get out of here! I collected the knives from them and ran back to my room. I gathered any deadly knife that would not break easily. That would be pretty much all new knives and not the collectables. I tossed my knife vest on and loaded it up where a knife can be stored. I placed a jacket over that to hide them. Any knife that did not go on the vest was tossed into a duffle bag. I ran through the place and grabbed my iPod and anything else I could need. I grabbed a plastic container with holes in it that I used to carry Kabuto and placed him inside. I did not know where I was going, but it was out of the city.
I took the fire escape down to the alleyway next to the building. I stuck to the shadows to not draw attention to myself. My car was in the parking garage down the street. As I made my way down the street, I kept an eye out for anyone. The streets were empty, but I could hear the riots were nearby. I made it to the garage and headed to the level it was on. As I exited the stairs, I turned and saw my car was being tried to be broken into by a couple thugs. Just my luck. Now I get to deal with two thugs. I approached with a knife in my hand behind my back. I stood far enough so they could not grab me.
"*Clear throat* Excuse me, but you are trying to break into my vehicle." I said.
Thug one turned his head and said, "Walk away before you get hurt." He brings out a 3 inch switch blade.
What a cute knife. I got one of those when I was six. Doing a quick laugh, I then said, "You call that a knife?" I pull out my 12 inch hunting knife from my back sheath. "This is a knife."
When the first thug saw that, he quickly ran away. The other one that was trying to do the actual break in looked up to see why his partner has left. He saw my knife I had in my hand and drew a gun.
"Back away bitch if you know what's good for ya." The thug said.
I raised my hand up in the air that had the knife. "Take it easy. You do not need to shoot anyone." I said as I slowly knelt down and placed the knife on the ground.
"That's right. Now give me the keys."
"Ok. Ok. Just don't shoot me."
I reached for my back pocket where they were. Instead of pulling them out. I grabbed a throw knife and tossed it fast into the thug's head, right between the eyes. He dropped like a rock as he had no reaction he could pull off in half a second.
I collected my knives and placed them back where they were stored. I dragged the body out of the way so I can get my car out. When I went to the driver side door to use my key, I couldn't as they busted the lock. Those two are complete idiots. Was this their first time in stealing a car? I headed to the other sided to get in that way. Luckily that side worked. I started the engine and began to book it out of there.
I know the major ways would be blocked due to all the riots and violence, so I stuck to third streets to get out. I ignored the stop signs and street lights as I wanted out of this city. There were a few close calls of running into other vehicles, but we all missed hitting one another. I soon came to a street that was blocked by parked cars also trying to get out. Seeing none were moving. I grabbed my back and started to walk out. I soon heard a riot was getting closer from some direction, but could not tell which one. As I turned around, I saw them coming up from behind. I looked forward and saw a line of military with their weapons drawn. SHHHHHIIIIIITTTTTT!
The commander in charge went on the PA and told everyone to return to their homes as Marshal Law is in effect. Failure to do so will meet with deadly force. I know was stuck between two forces that will probably kill me. I ran for an ally to get out of the line of fire. Just as I made it, the military began to fire. I crouch down to avoid being hit by any stray fire. Bullets were flying in both directions. I stayed lower than the cars' windows and began to sneak away.
As I was getting away, I was ran over by the crowd running at full speed. I reached for my bag as I was still on the ground. Then the unthinkable happened. A person tripped and landed on top of my bag. I heard a loud crunch. No . . . No . . . This cannot happen. The person got up and continued to run. I pulled my bag to me and leaned against a car. When I opened the bag, I saw what I feared. Kabuto was dead.
I now just lost it. I no longer cared if I died by anyone or by the MOTHERFUCKING STUPID MAYAN calendar prediction. I am going out in style. I stood up and took my jacket off. All the knives were easily seen now. I just began to throw knives at anyone that was nearby. I did not care who they were because we are all going to die. Each toss made for a kill shot or head shot. I did not know what time it was as I no longer cared. In an instant as I just tossed my last throw knives, my vision went dark.
-Present Day in Equestria-
(Blaze POV)
Once the memory was over, The screen turned off and the lights turned on. I looked over to see that Al was crying. I placed my arm around him and gave him a hug.
"I am sorry you were sent to hell for just trying to defend yourself in all that mess. I can never imagine what it was like down in hell." I said.
"Those memories I shall never forget as it was the most painful thing that has ever happened."
I turned to Shining Armor as he looked afraid of what he saw what a human could do. "Shining Armor, as you just saw, that is what most humans are like. Al never wanted to kill, but had to in order to survive what was happening. I want you to put in your report that Al was defending himself in the riots and was not right that he was marked as he failed that test. Understand?"
Shining Armor just nodded and stayed silent. I turned back to Al as he was getting up to stretch. "Can we change this to look something different now?" Al asked.
"Anything you want. It is your mind after all."
The area changed to that of a hill near Ponyville. Looks like we have the same taste. Al walked around to take in the scenery. His face was now showing a big smile and a tear rolled down his face. "I really am in Equestria, am I?" Al asked.
"Yes you are. This is your new home and I know everypony will take you in as a friend as they did with me." I said.
"Thanks. I think I am ready to talk about the things that happened down in hell. Probably for Shining Armor sake. Let's not have the visuals this time. He might just have a heart attack or shit himself. Maybe both."
"Hey! You are speaking to the Captain of the Royal Guard. I can take anything that you think is horrible." Shining Armor said proudly.
"We know that and do believe you. Let's just listen to what Al wants to cover." I said.
"Alright, as you saw with the previous memory, my vision when black. I could not see anything, even my hand directly in front of my base. I then heard an evil voice. It said I failed the Mayan test and being sent to hell. Before I could ask what and how, I began to fall into a deep, red cavern. I don't know how long it was, but there was no way I could escape this place. I landed with a hard thud."
"And you survived the fall?" Shining Armor asked.
"I was dead in hell. Don't think they will kill me off again when I arrived. I got up and there were lots of humans coming in. The demons were pushing us like we were cattle. We were placed in individual 4' x 6' cells. I don't know how long I was in the cell as we were never fed or has to go to the bathroom. Soon the demon guards came and pushed me into an arena. There were other humans there that came from other entrances. A demon came on the speaker and said we are to fight each other to the death. We would not actually die as we are already in hell. The first human to get 1,000 continuous kills will have the honor to get one wish on anything. Any human after that is shit out of luck. If you die, you start all over."
"So you were in death matches and had to fight and kill to survive. That must have really sucked." I said.
"That was not even the worst of it. After the first matches, the demons injected us with some purple stuff. My body was in pain the entire night I think. No time telling down there either. I finally fell asleep at some point. I was awaken by a demon guard poking at me with a staff. I was led to the arena again and had to fight several other humans. I was lucky as they had throwing knives that I can use along the walls. I got cut this time and noticed something different. My blood was no longer red, it was purple."
"Purple? Must have been the stuff that injected you with that did it."
"That is what I thought too. It also did something else to my body. I can regenerate myself."
"Regen what now?" Shining Armor said.
"It means I can repair my body from any injury. Anyone got a knife?"
I materialize one in my hand. Al took and with one quick swipe, he cut his pinkie on his left hand off. Shining Armor and I was shocked he did that with no hesitation. We watched as a new finger began to form slowly from the bone out.
"That is cool in a freaky way." I said.
"Down side it hurts as it does it and an it takes longer to grow back fresh new parts. If I can get a hold of what was cut off, it will reattach itself in a few minutes. Back to the life in hell. So being able to use throw knives. I racked up my kills at a good pace. Even with two limbs cut off, I have never loss. I was becoming popular with the demons. I picked up the name they gave me, Man of a Thousand Blades."
"That is a cool name."
"I thought so too. So many months went by as I racked up my kills. I was becoming cold and heartless as I did not care about my opponent. Only wanted the kill point. In my last match, I went up against another human that also had the same amount of kills as me, 999. This was the final match, winner gets the wish and loser is stuck in hell. This was the most difficult match I had to go up against someone. He made use of the shield to block my knife throw. I threw one as hard as I can and it splits his metal shield and dug into his shoulder. Before he could retaliate, I sent another dozen blades into various other points in his body. I immobilized him. He knew he was defeated and closed his eyes waiting for the final death hit. I sent the last knife right between his eyes."
"So won the match and got 1,000 kills. What did you do next?" I said in a game show host voice.
"I made a wish to go to a peaceful world with no humans!" Al said going with what I was doing. Shining Armor just put on another confused face. Not understanding the human jokes. "After I made that wish, I ended up going through a swirling portal. When I exited, it looked like I was in the center of a tornado, falling straight down."
"So that storm was you arriving. Glad I did not hit you with my attack." I said.
"Wait! You were outside of the tornado? I heard a voice yell something and then a white wave went right through the tornado, destroying it. How come I did not see you when I landed below?"
"I flew up into the clouds and broke them up. I was so exhausted, I used my last bit of energy and teleported to Twilight so I can get medical help."
Before Al could ask his question I sent a message to his inner mind, Before you ask that question that I know you are thinking, this is not the place to discuss about the fanfiction stories or episodes. Shining Armor and the Princesses know that I have this knowledge of future events and promised that I won't tell them about it. We don't want to do what happened to Twilight went back in time to warn herself not to worry about the future. Do we?
No we do not. I will keep my lips shut. So, did you spend some bed time with them? Al asked within his inner mind.
No and that is just sick. I did not come here for that. I came here to enjoy the peace and help where ever I can. We shall discuss this later some more in private.
I broke the link and we turned to Shining Armor as he was about to ask a question. "I take it you are now a master in that type of blade?" Shining Armor asked.
"Would you like a demonstration?" Al said.
Shining Armor nodded. I created several targets down the hill and had some moving at different speeds. I then had a hundred blades show up in a bucket.
"Will this work for you Al?" I asked.
"I take you have done this type of training in your head before?"Al said.
"Don't get him started." Shining Armor said.
Al and I both laughed. After that, Al walked up and took ten blades in each hand. He turned and looked at his targets. I could feel something changing in him. Almost like an energy source similar to my ki. In one fluid motion, Al began to send those blades down range. His body motion never stopped as each blade left his hands. It was almost like it was a dance of how he worked the blades. Each one hit dead center of the target. Even some blades his the same spot right next to the previous blade. In just under two minutes, all hundred blades were down range.
"Yep, I would say you are a master in the way of the throwing knives." I said.
"Thank you. I was pretty good at before hell, now that I spent a year using them to kill others. I would say I am either an expert or master now." Al said.
"Do you want to join the Royal Guard?" Shining Armor asked.
"Wait a sec! Al is not even a citizen yet. I think we got enough info and now that Al is back in the right mind, we can finish this discussion in the real world." I said.
"Alright. See you in a few seconds."
I ended the Genjutsu and we all returned back to the real world. We woke up and all stood up. I looked around and saw most of the others were gone. Princess Luna was still there with several of her guards. I looked at Al to see how he is handling it. His eyes were wide open like a little kid in a candy store. He finally saw Princess Luna. I quickly grabbed his hand with my hoof and shook my head. I think he was getting what I was trying to tell him.
Shining Armor walked up to the Princess and bowed. He then said, "Princess Luna. I am happy to say the new human is like Swift Blaze and has the same knowledge of this place. I think he is willing to help us when needed. I propose that he joins Swift Blaze and the others in the rest of the Royal Guard Training."
"I shall agree with your assessment Captain Shining Armor until I have a chance to consult with my sister. For now, the new human . . . um." Princess Luna said.
"My name is Alvin your highness. You can call me Al." Al said as he bowed to her.
"Right, so for now, Al will join Blaze and the others in the Royal Guard Training. You should go and get some rest as you are going to restart your survival training tomorrow morning after breakfast."
"As you wish Princess Luna. We shall go and head back to the barracks." I said.
"Before you go Blaze, I would like a word with you, in private."
"I can cover both Princess." I created a clone of me.
"Am I still in my head or did you do something that I think is from a show I watched back on Earth?" Al asked.
"I know the show you are thinking about and that is a yes. I did a shadow clone jutsu. We can discuss more about what I can do tomorrow. It is getting late and I want to show you the other recruits before they go to bed."
"Alright. Bye Shiny. Bye Lulu." Al said with a big smile on his face.
Both of me facehoofed ourselves after hearing that. Oh this is going to be fun. One of me started to lead Al to the barracks with a guard escort. Shining Armor teleported out of the throne room. The only ponies that were left was Princess Luna and myself.
"So, Luna, what did you want to chat with me about?" I asked.
"I wanted to know what you think about another human showing up here." Princess Luna said. "Walk with me to the garden so we can discuss this some more."
I follow Princess Luna to the garden and a set of guards followed us. I will be glad when this training is over so I no longer need an escort. We exited the castle and entered the garden grounds. I saw it was a clear night and the moon was full. I let out a sigh.
"Something wrong Blaze?"
"No. Well, I really don't know. I am happy that another human has shown up. But I am also sad what he went through to get here. He was in the wrong place in at the wrong time that caused him to fail that test my God had placed. I am now wondering how many humans were forced into similar situations and were made to fail the test."
"There is no real way to tell what really happened on your world as we have no clue where it is in the cosmos."
"Most likely somewhere in the universe. Space is bigger than you can possibly imagine. The human race as only has gone as far to land on the moon that circles the Earth. We have sent unmanned probes out into space to see what is out there and was still getting new data every day."
"So, tell me what you think of Al?"
"Well, I have seen two sides of him. The first side was his dark side. It grew and was dominated for most of the time he was in hell. He had a strange power over gravity when we were fighting him. I only manage to subdue him because I undid my weight enhancement to be able to walk. The other side is the side you just saw. A human that is a brony and cares about this world. I have learned he is a master with throwing blade weapons and is deadly accurate at several ranges. I did detect something within him when he was showing us his blade mastery. I don't know what it is, but I think it is related to the gravity control."
"Sound like an interesting human like you."
"That's just it. I asked for my abilities. Yes he was good with the blade before hell. I think what they put into him gave him his other powers. The gravity control I just told you. He also showed me and Shining Armor that he can regenerate any part of his body. The only downside is that it takes time to grow new parts if he does not have the limb or a piece to reattach. The other thing is that his blood is now a purple color. I think he is part demon now because of it."
"Does he pose a threat?"
"Well, just like me, if something causes us to lose ourselves, we will be a threat to Equestria."
"But you have learned how to control your anger and rage so you won't be like that. You can teach Al to do the same."
"Having a zen garden at my home also helps as it is designed to bring pease and order."
"I have yet to see that. Maybe after the training you can show me."
"More than likely, Pinkie Pie is probably going to throw a big party at my house."
"HOW DID YOU KNOW!"
"I see she has already sent out the invitations. Did she come as a singing telegram?"
"AGAIN, CORRECT! How did you know when you were in the EverFree Forest?"
"She did it on an episode and I have seen lots to know how they all think."
"That gives you an unfair advantage on surprises."
"No, my ninja intelligence told me. I could change into other creatures besides ponies to gather intel."
"Don't tell me you are going to reverse the surprise on Pinkie again. She worked very hard to make sure you did not know."
"Well they are going to be surprised when I bring another human home with me. So I can do a double surprise on her."
"You are very crafty Blaze."
"Oh, you have not seen me at my best. I do have a few plans down the road when those moments come."
"I can't wait. Well I think I should let you get to bed so you won't be too exhausted in the morning for survival exercises."
"Luna, I am probably in bed right now. Good night."
"Good night Blaze. Have sweet dreams."
I canceled the clone jutsu and disappeared from Princess Luna's sight.
-Meanwhile back at the barracks-
(Other Blaze POV)
Al and I arrived just outside the barracks. I could hear the others chatting away. Al lowered his head to my level and whispered, "Bob, are any of these ponies in the show?"
"I don't think so. I never heard of them or saw their name anywhere on the MLP Wiki pages. Just act calm and not freak out like you were about to do with Princess Luna." I whispered
"Sorry about that. Princess Luna is my favorite pony from the show. What is yours?"
"That is tough as I see myself in the mane 6 in each trait they represent."
"That's cool. So where did you get your abilities from?"
"Naruto and Dragonball Z series."
"No Way! You just have to show me what you can do!"
"Another time. I need to introduce you to the others and make sure they don't attack you when they see you."
I walked in first. The others were all gathered in the center, chatting away.
"Evening everypony. I have good news and bad news. What would you like to hear first?" I said to make my presence known.
"Blaze! How is the human? His he still knocked out. Is he a danger to Equestria?" Colorful Sparks was asking away.
"Hold on the questions. Please answer mine first and then I will get to yours."
"Let's have the bad news first so we can sleep better with the good news." Lightning Trails said.
"The bad news is that we will be going back to the EverFree Forest to redo our survival training after breakfast. Now for the good news. We have a new recruit coming with us. You can come in now."
Al walks in and stands near the doorway. Probably to have a quick escape if needed.
"Blaze that human is behind you! RUN!" Cancer shouted.
"Calm down everypony. His name is Al and he has his mind back in order now that he knows where he is at. He will not harm us or eat any ponies. Right Al?"
"Yea, sorry about what happened at the ruins. My mind was still acting like I was still in hell. I will tell my tale later. I will promise not to eat any ponies here in Equestria. Prefer Manticore meat anyway." Al said.
"I know! Isn't is so juicy! Once I get my human body back, I will see if the Princesses will allow us to dine with them before we go back to Ponyville. Their cooks can do some awesome things with meat."
I looked at the other and they looked discusted of what were talking about. "We forgot you are also is a human, Blaze. Can't wait to see what your body is like." Star Dust said.
"At least now you can see one now." I said as I pointed to Al. "Let's all head to bed now and will talk some more later with Al so you can get to know him better. We will have time to do that in the EverFree Forest."
They all headed to bed and Al took the last bunk next to mine.
"Blaze, do you have any clothing that will fit me? I don't want to continue walking around in this torn clothing." Al whispered to me.
"All I have are gi from Dragonball series that Rarity made. Any color preference?" I asked in a quiet voice.
"Do you have one all black?" I performed a summon jutsu and had it appear with clean underclothes. His eyes lit up. "I can't wait to here you are able to perform jutsu without using hand signs. You look like you are doing what the Elric brothers do."
"I will tell you all tomorrow. Let's get some sleep."
As I layed down, the memories from the other Blaze popped into my head. I shut my eyes so I make sure I get plenty of sleep. Who knows what is going to happen in the EverFree Forest?
