Second Chances
Chapter 6: 6. New Ponies
Previous Chapter Next ChapterAstral, Dylan, Andy, and Shadow got off the Sky Chariot to be met by Twilight. As the Sky Chariot left Twilight asked the group "So what did Princess Celestia want to talk about?"
Dylan looked at his friends, they softly shook their heads. Dylan responded "She just wanted to see how everything was for us and how we are doing so far away from home. I'm pretty sure I speak for all of us when I say we like it more here."
The rest of the group said in sync, Astral said "Totally."
Shadow replied "Yeah."
Andy responded "Most definite."
Twilight said "Well I am very glad you all like Ponyville. What did you think about doing for the rest of the day?"
Dylan spoke for all of them "I'm not sure, maybe we'll just go wonder around, maybe make a few friends."
"Well alright then, I'll leave you to do that." Twilight said before walking inside.
Dylan turned to his friends and said "Alright we should look for those two ponies and tell them what Princess Celestia told us about the monster."
Astral said "Okay but how do we know who to look for?"
Andy spoke up "I remember what one looks like, dark blue coat, black mane and tail, Pegasus, short tail, flattened, combed down mane."
Dylan responded "Like BronyDanceParty's mane?"
"Exactly what I'm talking about."
"Alright, I remember what the other looks like, dark coat like Princess Luna's, silver mane and tail, the tail looked a bit like Rainbow Dash's, Pegasus, do you guys play the game Kingdom Hearts?"
Astral and Ben said "Yeah." While Andy said "No."
Dylan started explaining "Well his mane looked like Riku's from Kingdom Hearts; his hair was just spiked every which way."
Andy nodded acknowledging Dylan.
The group started walking off to find the ponies that will be needed to help, after a few steps Astral stopped. Dylan noticed this and asked his younger brother "Astral, what's wrong?"
Coming up with the only logical question, "We have a small plan, find the ponies right?" Astral started, "But as soon as we find them, what are we gonna tell them 'The fate of Equestria is in your hooves listen to us we aren't insane'?"
Dylan, Andy, and Shadow all pondered this question. Not being able to come up with a proper solution with that Shadow said "We will cross that road when we get to it, but for now we need to find those ponies. We don't know when the attack will happen, and we don't know how hard it will be."
Dylan responded "Shadow is right, if the Elements of Harmony can't defeat the monster, we have to expect the worst."
The four started moving again, searching for the help they're going to need. As Dylan, Andy, Astral, and Shadow were walking Dylan lost is hoofing and fell on the ground from tripping over his own hoof. The others started laughing, Dylan said "It's not like you never tripped on your own hoof onceā¦"
The laughter quickly died down as Dylan got up and the four started walking again.
After a few minutes of walking a blur of dark blue zipped by the group, making them spin and fall. The Pegasus pony saw what he did and stopped, he walked back to the group and said "Hey you guys alright? Sorry about that, didn't see you there."
The four got up trying to maintain their balance while, Dylan fell back down, Dylan replied "Well, besides the fact we are so dizzy we can't stand straight, you we're fine."
Astral saw who the pony was, coat color like Luna's, hair like Riku, tail like Rainbow, silver coloring, Pegasus. Astral whispered to his friends "That's one of the ponies."
"Once again I'm sorry," the Pegasus started "my name is, Lightning Moonlight."
"Nice to meet you, Lightning, my name is Dylan," replied Dylan.
"Astral Wings," said Astral.
"Shadow Dash," responded Shadow.
"Andy Rust," finished Andy.
"Well, I'll be off then," said Lightning.
"Wait, we gotta tell you something," replied Shadow.
"Yeah, what is it?"
"Well," Dylan started, "this may sound a bit strange, but, we need your help for something that will help out all of Equestria."
"What do you mean by that, Dylan," Lightning asked in confusion.
The group started telling him about the prophecy that, Princess Celestia told them. While, Lightning just sat there and listened to their story. When the group finished speaking, Lightning just thought about the story for a moment.
"Well, the ponies you described do look like me and my friend, Star Blitz. He is shy around some new ponies but is great when you get to know him, I always know when he is around, isn't that right, Star Blitz?"
A dark blue Pegasus fell out of a nearby tree from hearing his name. The pony walked over next to, Lightning. "Hi, my name is, uh, Star Blitz," Star Blitz voice got softer and quieter throughout the sentence.
"So, is what you said true? A monster is going to destroy the town and not even the Elements of Harmony can defeat it, but we can," Lightning asked.
The group nodded, while Dylan said, "I know that it doesn't seem like we can, but if we work together we can do this," Dylan put his hoof into the middle of the group and said, "for Equestia."
Each following what Dylan did while talking, Astral said, "For Equestria."
Then followed, Shadow, Andy, then, Lightning, Star still hasn't done it.
Lightning said to his friend, "Come on Star Blitz, we can do this."
Star Blitz put his hoof in slowly and softly said with hesitance, "For, Equestria?"
Note from the author: SORRY FOR NO UPDATE! I'm so sorry, I had major Writer's Block on this and couldn't think of a way on how they met the new ponies, but obviously I have, hope you enjoyed the chapter.
