Finding the Elements of Harmony: Honesty and Kindness!
"So you girls have never been in here before?" asked Twilight.
Our seven heroes had gone into the Everfree Forest in an attempt to find the Elements of Harmony, but five out of those seven heroes were freaking out slightly. The reason? None of them have ever been in the Everfree Forest for any reason before now. But Ben was busy looking through the gauntlet on his arm which had a full body hologram display of his aliens, and saw that he had nine that he didn't recognize.
'At least the Infinitrix gave me Humungousaur, but I don't know any of these others.' Ben thought to himself.
That was when Applejack decided to speak up in regards to their lack of being in the Everfree Forest.
"No. People don't go in these parts. This place just ain't natural!" said Applejack.
"How is this place unnatural?" asked Ben.
"Nobody knows!~" said Rainbow Dash in a creepy manner. "Because all those who go in..."
"Stop it, Rainbow!" demanded Rarity.
She saw that Rainbow Dash's illustrations were scaring Fluttershy more than usual. Unfortunately, the rainbow haired girl wasn't listening.
"Has never come back out!" finished Rainbow Dash.
That's when all hell broke loose. The ground gave way from underneath everyone, and they started sliding towards the edge of a cliff! Fluttershy and Rainbow Dash used their wings to avoid falling, but the others were heading for the cliff! Applejack, Rarity, and Ben managed to grab onto a few branches and rocks to keep themselves from falling, but Twilight wasn't so lucky.
"No! No! NOOOO!" cried Twilight.
She fell off the cliff, but managed to grab the edge and was now hanging on for dear life! Applejack and Ben saw this, and both got different ideas on how to help the dangling mage.
"Hold on, Twi! Ah'm comin'!" called Applejack as she slid down to help Twilight.
She got to her, and grabbed Twilight's hands while bracing herself against a couple of rocks to keep them from falling. But she knew that it wouldn't hold long, and Ben could see that. He turned the dial of the Infinitrix, and found a humanoid alien that looked like it could help in this situation.
"Come on, please be something useful!" He begged as he pressed down on the dial.
In a flash of pinkish purple light, Ben started to transform into a new alien. He looked like a human that was wearing armor that resembled a scarab beetle. The majority of the armor was black, while the chest armor was purple. His hands had curved hook-like claws for fingertips, and he had an armored shell on his back that protected a pair of insectoid wings. His helmet rose upwards and thinned out as it got closer to the top, and separated to form twin beetle horns. The new Infinitrix symbol was located in the center of his chest.
"BlitzWing!" yelled Ben.
Infinitrix Alien Database Entry
Species Name: Neo Spacian(Flare Scarab)
Given Name: BlitzWing
Native to a strange parallel world called Neo Space, the Neo Spacians are a very interesting race of aliens. Very little is known about them, but from what Galvan Scientists can gather every Neo Spacian has a unique form and set of abilities. Behavioral patterns, powers, and weaknesses are unknown even to the brightest mind in three, possibly five galaxies.
The others saw this transformation, and were shocked to say the least. Ben had just transformed into a strange humanoid beetle using that odd gauntlet of his! However, they had no time to dwell on this, as Twilight went back to panicking.
"Applejack! What do I do?!" asked a scared Twilight.
The farm girl looked desperate to think of a plan to help the mage, but she didn't do well under this kind of pressure. Her grip was slipping and she didn't know what to do. That's when she saw something that sounded like a killer's wish.
"Let go."
"Are you CRAZY?! I'll fall!" said a shocked Twilight.
"Twilight, I need you to trust me! You'll be safe!" pleaded Applejack.
"I will NOT!" denied Twilight.
"Twilight, listen to me! I know you're scared right now, but ya need to trust me. Let go, and you'll be safe!" reasoned Applejack.
Twilight still had major doubts about Applejack's sense of reason, but she could detect no lies in the farm girl's words. Against her better judgment, Twilight let go. She screamed as she fell a few feet, but that was abruptly stopped when she felt a pair of masculine arms wrap around her. Twilight opened her eyes to see that it was BlitzWing who caught her.
"Don't worry, Twilight. I've got you!" said BlitzWing.
***Later***
"And you were falling, and BlitzWing was all like-WOOSH-he snags you right out of the sky!" said Rainbow Dash as she recounted Ben's exploit for the hundredth time that day.
"Yes Rainbow, I was there. And right now we need to focus on finding*GASP* A MANTICORE!" cried Twilight.
The others looked to see a beast that should very well be nothing more than an olden day legend. It had the body of a lion, a scorpion's tail, and the wings of a dragon. But above all else, this thing looked downright pissed! But before any of the girls could try to do anything to retaliate against it, Ben transformed again! This time however, the form he chose was more beastial.
It had a body that was mostly feline in nature, but looked like a cross between a sabertooth cat and an African Spotted Hyena. He had huge saber teeth jutting from each side of the top jaw, and a single horn growing out of his dog-like nose. His stomach fur was crimson, and he had long shaggy hair on his back. He also had a long tail with bony spikes that looked like curved blades growing out of the tip.
"Deathkatt!" yelled Ben.
Infinitrix Alien Database Entry
Species Name: Panuncian
Given Name: Deathkatt
The Panuncian is a fascinating predator native to the planet Hathor, and is the natural predator of a Splixson. Since Splixsons have the ability to clone themselves, the Panuncians have adapted a similar cloning ability to help them catch their preferred prey. However, these guys are not invincible.
They may be fast and agile, but they aren't very smart. A Panuncian is able to be outsmarted and outmaneuvered by any possible prey items. They can also bloat like a balloon if a huge amount of water is forced down their throat. This can actually render them immobile.
"What kind of alien is this?" Deathkatt asked himself.
He had no time to ponder this however, as the Manticore pounced at him. Deathkatt was a clever beast, however, and dodged to the side to avoid the claws and fangs of the beast. Then acting on instinct, Deathkatt created a clone of himself. The original looked at his clone, then the clone looked at Deathkatt, and they grinned at each other.
"So this alien can clone itself? Cool!" said Deathkatt.
They both had to duck as they nearly got hit by the poisonous stinger of the Manticore's scorpion tail. The two charged at the beast, but were easily batted away by this beast's monstrous strength. Deathkatt merged with his clone, and got back up.
"Okay, I can see that I've gotta take it up a notch!" said Deathkatt.
He raised a paw, and slapped the Infinitrix dial. He was engulfed in a bright flash of purplish pink light, and was transformed into something even more powerful.
His body retained its humanoid shape, but he grew until he was about fourteen feet tall, and his skin became scaly and more reptilian in nature. It was also a tannish brown color. His muscles became more burly like those of a body builder's, and a tail grew out of the small of his back. The Infinitrix was in the center of his chest.
"Humungousaur!" yelled Ben.
Infinitrix Alien Database Entry
Species Name: Vaxasaurian
Given Name: Humungousaur
Born on the planet Terradino, Vaxasaurians are one of the most physically powerful aliens in the galaxy. A full grown Vaxasaurian can be as tall as twelve feet, and they are capable of growing up to sixty feet tall. They mainly fight by using their fists to create tremors in the ground, and overpowering their enemies with dozens of powerful combos. But despite their strength, Vaxasaurians all share the same weaknesses.
Despite all of their physical prowess, they aren't very fast. They are also the prey item of planet Terradino's apex predator, the Tyrannopede.
"Alright! An old favorite of mine!" said Humungousaur in triumph.
He looked at the Manticore, who was growling in challenge, and the two charged at each other! It was sure to be a fight of the ages. Myth vs. Prehistory! However...
"WAIIIIIT!" yelled Fluttershy.
This caused Humungousaur to skid to s stop. Fluttershy turned to the Manticore, and started to gently approach the beast. It was still growling and clawing at them, but Fluttershy wasn't fettered by this behavior. In fact, it looked like she's dealt with stuff like this before.
"It's okay. Shhh." said Fluttershy in a gentle manner.
The Manticore stopped growling, and everyone could now see that the big guy wasn't attacking for no reason. He was attacking because he was in pain. This was proven when the Manticore revealed that there was a thorn stuck in his paw.
"Oh my goodness! You poor little guy!" said Fluttershy to the Manticore.
The others were rooted to their spots in shock from this behavior.
"Little?!" questioned Rainbow Dash.
Fluttershy however, paid her no mind. Instead, she moved closer to the Manticore's massive paw.
"Now this will only hurt for just a minute." said Fluttershy.
Without a hint of hesitation, she grabbed the thorn, and yanked it right out of the beast's paw! The Manticore roared in pain, and the others began to overreact.
"Fluttershy!" cried the others.
They were about to run in and help her, only to see that the Manticore was gently holding Fluttershy in its paws. He was licking her affectionately, and purring like a giant domestic house cat. Fluttershy was giggling from the tickly feeling she was getting from the Manticore's licking.
"Aww, you're just a big ol' kitty witty, aren't you? Yes you are! Yes you are!" cooed Fluttershy to the massive beast.
No one but Ben noticed that the Infinitrix hourglass was glowing orange. No doubt it scanned the DNA from the Manticore, and added it to Ben's Codon Stream.
"How'd you know about the thorn?" asked Twilight as the Manticore set Fluttershy down.
"I didn't. But sometimes to solve a problem, all you need is a little kindness." explained Fluttershy.
Twilight smiled from what her shy new friend(though she wouldn't admit the friend part yet.) had told her. Ben transformed back to normal, and they resumed their journey to find the Elements of Harmony. Nobody noticed the thorn that was in the thorn that was in the paw of the Manticore had dispersed into purple mist, and traveled deeper into the Everfree Forest.
Okay, two elements down and only five more to go! Now we move on to two more well known elements next chapter, and I wanna give Omnipotent 18 a big shout out for sending in his idea for the seventh Element of Harmony! But I was wondering, do you think I should turn Ben into the first male Alicorn in Equestria when the Elements of Harmony activate the first time, or should he remain human?
