Chapter 16: Element of Courage

Previous Chapter Next Chapter

Hello once again everyone! Well, I've picked the winner of the OC contest and have been PMing the reviewer that won. Don't worry, your character will come in soon. Now, I won't say who won, but rest assured winner that your OC will be in the story several times! If you want to announce in the reviews that you won, I can't stop you there. Anyway, with all of that clarified, let us move on to the story!

Disclaimer: I only own this idea and my OC Blitz. MLP belongs to the creators of the show.


Blitz POV

Okay, well I know just what we have to do! What we need to do, is get back at those three jerks, and get not only my shark tooth necklace, but Applejack's hat, and our pride! Only thing is, how do we do that if we won't hurt them? We can't just waltz right over and ask nicely.

Finally, as we all met up in the gym after the lap, with a few minutes until the bell dismissed school, I asked out loud. "So, are you guys all ready for this?"

"Yep." Rainbow Dash said. "This is going to be a piece of cake!"

"Oh! Oh! Can it be pie instead?!" Pinkie Pie asked, hoping it could be a piece of pie instead.

"Wait. I know it's probably obvious for you guys, but what's your plan? They're almost impossible to beat. Especially without any of your magic or wings." I said. I knew it was them for sure, so it made sense that they knew what I was talking about. They all just smiled more at me though when I mentioned that.

"Who said we didn't have any of our magic?" Twilight asked me, still with a smile on her face. From that on question, I knew what the plan was. More or less.


After the bell rang, Morgue and his group were outside the entrance of the school, all with confident smiles on their faces.

"Looking for us?" I asked out loud. Most of us were standing behind them all, coming outside a different way. They all turned around, slightly mad, but they were still keeping calm.

"Took you all long enough. We were startin to think that you would never show up." Morgue said, stepping up ahead of his two friends.

"We showed up alright. And were not letting any of you push around anyone else again." I said, confident.

"And what are you going to do? Teach us a lesson?" Joe asked sarcastically. The others snickered at his sarcasm.

Since it was after school, everyone else had gone home. It was just me an my friends, and Morgue and his friends in front of the school.

"Yes." I said simply. It was time for this to end once and for all.

"And how are you and your lame 'friends' gonna do that? Like everyone else that stood up with you, it's just going to end the same way. They're going to see it's a waste of time to be friends with you and leave you alone. How it's always been, and how it's always gonna be." Morgue said.

"No. Your wrong. I know these are my friends. They went out of my way to be my friends. They showed me kindness when no one else would." When I said that, A bright pink butterfly symbol appeared above Fluttershy.

"W-what's that?" Morgue asked, taking a step back, joining his friends. Him and his two friends saw it floating right in the air with nothing holding it up.

"They were loyal and stayed as my friends when they didn't have to be." I said as a bright red lightning bolt symbol appeared over Rainbow Dash's head.

"T-theres no way this is real! This defies all of science itself!" Joe exclaimed, freaked out and confused about what was going on.

"They were honest and told the truth just to help me when I was in trouble." A bright orange apple symbol appeared over Applejack.

At that point, a wind started blowing in, the power of three elements pushing the wind towards Morgue, Joe and Mike. With the wind, Applejack's hat flew off of Morgue's head and came back to Applejack, landing perfectly on her head.

"Woah there Zeke! Hehe, calm down! You knew we were just kidding all these years with what we did right? Right?" Morgue asked as he saw the third symbol appear.

"They cheered me up and made me with laugh when I was down and all alone." A bright blue balloon symbol appeared over Pinkie Pie. Blitz then backed up a few feet and joined his friends. He and Spike were inside the circle the mane six made formed around them.

"Uh, guys? What's going on with the balloons?" Mike asked, very confused.

"I-I-I don't think those are balloons Mike! They aren't swaying around like normal balloons would!" Joe noted, getting scared.

"They were generous enough to offer their help me when I needed it." A purple diamond symbol then appeared over Rarity.

"Pfft! T-this is just all smoke and mirrors-o-or somethin! Tell em Joe!" Morgue said, turning towards Joe.

Joe just stayed silent, not sure what to think. Mike held Joe up in front of him, using him as a shield. "J-j-joe! What's goin on?! I'm scared!"

"I don't know what's going on! And what would using me as shield do?! Put me down!" Joe yelled as he tried to get free from Mike's grasp, but to no avail.

"Finally, they all helped me understand something that I had never believed in until now. The Magic of Friendship." Twilight took a step in front of all of them as a very bright magenta star symbol appeared above her.

"RUN! Back in the school!" Morgue ordered. They turned around and stopped in their tracks when they something they wouldn't believe. Two alicorns watching from inside the school. One with a white coat an a rainbow mane, and another with a black coat and a night sky mane. They were all smiling at Blitz's group.

"And don't forget one final element." Twilight said to the three. Morgue and his group turned around to face Twilight as she finished. "Blitz not only stood up to anything that scared his friends, but he stood up to something that so many couldn't find the courage to stand up to. He represents the Element of Courage" Twilight announced.

When she said that, a black gear appeared above me symbolizing that he was an Element of Harmony as well. I was really surprised with this, as was the rest of them, except for Twilight and the two princesses.

Then, Twilight's eyes glew pure white as she and the elements lifted us into the air. One by one, we all turned back into our pony forms as Morgue, Joe, Mike, Spike, Princess Celestia, and Princess Luna all watched in awe or happiness.

Then, from out of no where, a flash of light blinded all of us. It covered that whole area, and stayed there.


When I woke up, everything was still white. It was pure nothing. I stood up, still in my pony form, and looked around. I thought I saw nothing until I turned around and saw Princess Celestia right behind me.

"I think I understand it now." I told her.

"Oh? And what id it that you understand?" She asked, smiling at me.

"I was sent to Equestria for a reason wasn't I? I was sent because I really do belong here." I said, realizing it.

"Yes. I had you sent here, because I felt the Element of Courage within you." Celestia said with a nod.

"Then why didn't you just tell me from the beginning?" I asked, confused.

"Because you needed to learn it yourself. It wasn't something I could simply tell to you and you would understand. Your world doesn't believe in the Magic of Friendship, let alone magic itself. You needed to learn who you were through experience." Celestia explained.

I chuckled a little at that. "Your right. If you just told me up front, I probably would've never believed it. Still, how will I fit in with the rest of the group? I mean, I'm different then them." I said.

"You may be different on the outside, but on the inside, you're the same. You believe in the same thing, you all know what the difference between right and wrong, and you all are pure." Celestia explained further as she made something appear out of thin air with her magic. My shark tooth necklace. "Your mother would have been proud." She said with a sincere smile.

I was at a loss for words. I understood every word that she told me. As she placed the necklace on me with her magic, I smiled at her. "Thank you. Thank you so much. Thank you for helping me to figure out who I am, thank you for bringing me to the only friends I've had in a long time, just... Thank you Princess Celestia." I bowed my head to her, feeling like an idiot because I had no idea how to bow to her in pony form.

She noticed and giggled a little at me. "You still have some things to learn, but I have no doubt you'll be able to figure them out in time." Princess Celestia said as she forgave my poor manners. "Now you might want to wake up now. It's morning." She informed me.

I rubbed the back of my head in embarrassment. "Hehehe... About that... I'm sorry if this is offensive of me to say, but I've never been a morning person. Or morning pony in this case. I've always been a bit of a night owl." I told her, not sure what she'd think. I thought that she'd be kinda offended by what I said, but I felt I had to.

To my surprise though, Celestia simply giggled a little more. "Ah, so that's why you get along with my sister so well. She'll be pleased to learn that there's a pony who actually prefers staying up during the night. None the less, your friends are waiting for you. As is me and my sister. Now, hurry and wake up." She reminded me.

From that point on, everything got blurry. And before I knew it, I was awake.


When I woke up, I was still groggy like most times when I wake up. I did not want to get up now. Sadly, it didn't matter what I thought. A doctor came in, said I was to leave since I was healthy and all, then left just as fast as he entered.

Since everything was in slow-mo for me, I had to snap myself awake. I took the covers off and slowly and gently... literally rolled out of bed and purposely face-planted on the hard concrete floor. That snapped me awake as I got up an headed out, the slight pain giving me the adrenaline to wake up.

I started to head outside and when I did, I saw them. All of them. Celestia, Luna, Twilight, Rainbow Dash, Fluttershy, Rarity, Pinkie Pie, Spike, and Applejack. "Hey everypony."

"Hey Blitz." Pinkie Pie said with a smile that said, 'I know something you don't'. Nearly everybody else had the same smile.

"Okay, what's with the 'We know something you don't' smiles?" I asked. They all looked at each other, acting like they had no idea what I was talking about. But after a few seconds of me raising an eyebrow, they gave up the façade.

"Okay, you got us. We're all here because there's something we wanted to give you. Something Princess Celestia actually wanted to give you personally." Twilight said as she moved out-of-the-way so Princess Celestia could come forward.

"Yes. Well, with you being an Element of Harmony, I had something that you need for it to be official." Princess Celestia said. As I looked around, I noticed something that I didn't notice before since I was still just getting up. All of my friends had their Element of Harmony necklace or crown on.

"With you being the Element of Courage, you will need this." Princess Celestia brought forward a small box and opened it with her magic. Inside was a small, circular, golden object that had a gear, the same one on my Cutie Mark, in the middle of it. It was made from an Onyx, so it was black like my coat.

"Woah." I exclaimed, amazed that this thin was made especially for me. Then I noticed something. "Wait, shouldn't it be a necklace like theirs?" I pointed out.

As Princess Celestia took it out of the box, everybody else saw it and noticed the same thing as well. They were all confused, except for Princess Celestia, even Princess Luna. "Well, this Element is different. Instead of being required, it instead makes the original Elements stronger. Also, if need be, it may replace an Element if one is missing." Princess Celestia explained.

That was already cool within itself, but it still didn't explain the one thing we all had a question about. "But, I have never seen any kind of Jewelry such as this. May I ask, what is it?" Rarity asked, asking the thing that the rest of us were trying to figure out.

"Well, in Blitz's world, it's known as a shoulder pad. But this is far from something that is just meant from protection." She added as she used her magic to send it towards my front left shoulder. As soon as it got close, it stuck together with my shoulder with a click.

"So that's how it fits. It has a magnet." I answered. I saw how it stuck to my metal leg like a magnet to a refrigerator. It was just like a shoulder pad to. And to add-on to the amazement, it didn't even get in the way of moving my leg around.

"Yes. Now remember, it is not to be handled lightly. And until it's needed, it will remain in Twilight's library with the rest of the Elements." Princess Celestia told me as she took the Element back and put it in the box, handing it to Spike, who carried the box for Twilight.

"I understand." I said with a nod.

"Good. Now, I'm afraid we must go back to Canterlot. I can't wait for your next letter Twilight." Celestia said as she and Princess Luna started to get back on their royal chariot back to Canterlot.

"Don't worry Princess Celestia, I won't forget to send one!" Twilight said happily as she and the rest of us watched as the two Princesses started going back to Canterlot.

As soon as Celestia's chariot was out of sight, they all turned to me at once. "So what's your world like?" "Does your word's culture seem similar to ours?" "Is there any flying humans?" "What kind of parties do you throw?" "What is the fashion there like?" "Does your world have farms too?" "Is the magic the same there?" "What animals live in your world?" "What does-"

"STOP!" I yelled out. After every one of them kept asking questions one after another, I could NOT take it anymore! I hated being the center of attention, and I hated when I was asked so many questions. I swear, if they start interrupting me, that would complete the set of things I hate about conversations.

They all did so and I sighed in relief. "Okay, in order of questions you've all asked so far." I took a deep breath, knowing it take some air to answer all of their questions.

"Our world is like this one, except we rely on science instead of magic. There are HUNDREDS of cultures in my world so some of them, including mine, are like your's. There are only a normal type of humans, but we have giant flying machines that can fly us pretty far. Are parties are pretty much the same as your's as far as I can tell. Again, there are many types of fashion that match the cultures." Deep breath again. "Yes we have farms, and probably about more types of food then you do. My world doesn't believe in magic. And finally, we have the exact same types of animals that you do, not counting ones that revolve around magic." I took one last breath.

I looked around and saw they were all stunned. "Come on, doesn't that at least deserve some applause or something?" They all laughed a little at that, and clapped their hooves, slightly impressed with how I answered their questions perfectly.

"Thank you. And to answer one of the next questions one of you will probably ask. Humans do not have any magic powers, so we adapted by using science instead. But, we still have creativity like yours, even though ours is probably not as good as any of yours." I noted before Twilight could say whatever she was going to ask. I was apparently right, and she closed her mouth right after I finished. "Well, if you have any other questions, I guess I should answer them now. But, I'm probably no good at going into extreme detail about some things. So, who has a question?"

As I said that, all of their hooves went up simultaneously. Just from that, I knew this would be a hard thing to teach them about. But at least I was in a world where I had friends that accepted me.


And that's that! Now, even though Blitz has made up his mind, and all seems summed up, this is not the end! I really wish that I had this chapter up by April Fools day though... It would've made a good joke! I would've worded the ending a little differently and made it sound like that was the end. Anyway, with a new Element of Harmony in play, will any evil stand a chance? What crazy adventures will they have? What will come of the World of My Little Pony now that someone, or pony now, will have different views to share with it? Guess I'll these answers will be answered in time! See you all when I get a new chapter ready! Might be a while since I have to come up with a story plot or just make some chapters for laughs, so sorry if it takes more than just one day for the next chapters to come out!

Well, that's all I have to say! See you all next time!

QotC: What would your element be? (It doesn't have to be a Harmony one. It can be something like the Element of Puppies if you wanted!)
