Chapter 5: A new start

Previous Chapter Next Chapter

Fyra opened her eyes , she was floating in that dark place again. The two eyes were staring at her. The blue one wasn't crying anymore. The "evil" eye spoke first once again.

"Ha! You got whacked in the head? Such a silly pony."

Fyra was more confident of herself now and replied.

"I got whacked? By what?"
"By the doctor of course! Don't you remember?"

Fyra put her front hoof on her side, there was no hole , but she couldn't help but still feel the pain.

"So you know who that was?"

"Perhaps.Why spoil the fun and tell the ending of SUCH an interesting story at the beginning? That would spoil the surprise finale."

"What surprise finale?"

"Oh...you'll see."

"Stop taunting her," said the 'kind' eye.

"Oh? And what will you do? You have no power."

"Maybe, but I know how to suppress you."

"Oh no! I'm so scared! Don't banish me!" The eye rolled around."You no longer have as much power as you did in that horrid tower. Just be happy that I haven't erased you from existence yet."

The blue eye gasped, frightened.

"Now then , Fyra, it would seem that we cannot meet just yet. It would seem that there are two creatures on this world with unfathomable power. I will be perfecting my....hmhm.....OURselves until we can meet. Why not do the same? You'll drag our fight on until everything around us is destroyed and those four ponies are dead."

"What? How do you-"

"Know about those creatures you met? Have you not forgotten that we are psychically linked? I can see through your eyes without you noticing and take in knowledge of what you see and hear. You could do the same , if you could still conrol these gifts bestowed upon us. I look forward to....ugh...what?!"

The evil eye was phazing out of existence. The blue eye seemed to be concentrating with her whole being to keep the evil one suppressed.

"N...no matter...eventu....ally....I'll send you....a creature you....know...all too well...." it faded away.

The blue eye then spoke quickly , time was running out.

"Fyra , I know you remember about the encounter at the tower. You remember those two other ponies that were with you?"


"Yes."
"Find them. They didn't have a device planted into their brains as they were semi-successes. They remember everything , and they could help you recover your powers , like last time."

"Last time?"

"Yes. You aren't the only one who can defeat her , know that. But you are the only one who can properly free her....find the other two ponies.One of them is near you right now. Quickly!"

"But what did you mean by semi-successes? Who are you?"

The eye had almost faded out , but Fyra heard three words:

"........a forgotten friend..........."

Fyra awoke. She sat up , rubbing her head. There was a lump on the side. She was in a dungeon and was sitting on hay in a cell made of hoof-layed stones. The red alicorn got up and went near the metal bars to take a peek through them. Nothing on the left but more cells , nothing on right but....the exit....guarded by two armored white pegasi. Fyra knew much more thanks to the book that Twilight had given her. She knew what pegasi and unicorns were now , what those guards were , and many other intriguing things. She stared at the guards , who gave a cold stare back with the corner of their eyes. Fyra backed away from the bars. She just let her rear flop down on the hay pile. The alicorn noticed that there was a light coming into her cell and twisted around to find the source. There was a hole in the wall , also blocked by metal bars , and it was very high. It was already night , and there was a full moon again. She once again felt at ease. Another memory came to her , but this one was soothing.

She was in the tower again, but in a similar room as the cell she was in. It was very tiny and she was on a very hard bed that only had a dirty white cloth for a blanket.The toilet was in a distant corner , and there was a window against the wall. The only door in the room was one about slightly higher than the "doctor". It was a heavy metal mass and the only openings on it was a pushable opening for feeding trays, and a sliding 'window' for seeing the 'patient' in the room. Fyra had decided to stare through her window. It was a reinforced glass, capable of resisting any blunt force.

Fyra decided to look through the window , despite the obvious pain in her legs. The only thing she could consider beautiful and comfortable in this cruel world she is trapped in was that moon. It looked so far away from this wretched place , yet so close she could almost reach it. It was also the only "pure white" object she had ever seen. She bathed in it's rays. She liked to "meditate" under a full moon.

Back in the cell, she was meditating under the moonlight again. She was humming a song that came from the deep reaches of her mind, one she was familiar with , but didn't know the origin. The two guards were wondering what this "song" was and started to force their bodies to bend towards the red alicorn's cell. It was too far. Suddenly, a gentle, almost inaudible voice came through the stairway.

"Umm , excuse me."

The pegasi readjusted themselves almost immediately and crossed their wings , preventing passage. "What is it?"

"Ummm , well , Twilight wanted me to give this book to a red pony here."

"Twilight? You mean Twilight Sparkle? The student of princess Celestia?"

"Oh yes. She wanted me to give that red pony this book and--"

"Okay. I'll accompany you. You never know if she'll try to attack you."

"Oh my."

They both went towards the cell, the humming becoming louder and louder. They were surprised at the sight. It looked as though the alicorn was glowing in the moonlight. She had a great smile on her face while her eyes were closed. She was meditating too deeply to notice the hoof clopping on the ground.

"Um....excuse me...I have something for you."

The humming stopped and Fyra opened her eyes , her smile fading away slightly. She lowered her head and stood up and turned to face a yellow pony with a long pink mane. This pegasi was rubbing the floor with her front hoof. Her mane partially covered her face. She had the book Twilight had given her wedged carefully between her two wings.

"Twilight asked me to give this to you." The pegasi let the book slide on her wing towards her hoof, a little trick that Rainbow Dash taught her.

"Here you go."

Fyra reached out calmly and grabbed the book by pressing her front hooves against it , using friction to keep the book from falling. She quickly dropped the book in the hay pile and saw that it was the book she had been reading pertaining to the history of Equestria. She looked back up at the yellow pony, but still said nothing. Her smile and the sparkle in her eyes showed the pegasi that she was thanked.

"Your welcome. Twilight also said that those flames that you created in her library didn't destroy or damage anything...and that...well...there you go."

A wave of relief overflowed Fyra like a wave crashing against rocks. She exhaled and wiped her forehead to show it. The yellow pony stayed there for awhile without saying anything. The guard tired of this and said:

"Okay m'am. It's time for you to go back upstairs."

"Oh, wait! What's your name?" she asked the alicorn" Mine is Fluttershy."

"M-m-m...mine is...Fyra."

"Nice to meet you Fyra. Pinkie Pie said that you were a lot of fun to play with and that she wanted a...what did she say? A rematch with plate spinning?" Fyra chuckled.

The guard tugged on Fluttershy's wing.

"Oh, well , it would seem I need to leave. I hope to see you later Fyra."

Fyra waved goodbye. She finally had her book back. She flipped the pages until she reached the chapter "Founding of Canterlot". This chapter had been interesting her alot and she wanted to read through it to see what this Canterlot was and how it was made by the past ponies.

Several hours had passed and Fyra had already finished the book. She had decided to restart meditating in the moonlight , humming the same tune as earlier. She was shaken awake by the sound of a heavy door swinging away from it's closed hold. Fyra went near the bars again to see what was going on. She heard the two guards say:

"Princess Luna! W-what are you doing here. It could be dangerous!"

"Do not forget that we are still a royal sister. We can protect ourselves quite fine. My sister asked me to speak to a prisoner. I suppose that that is her?"

Luna pointed to the little portion of Fyra's head sticking out. The red alicorn quickly retracted her head and hid under the hay pile. She didn't like the face that the dark blue unicorn had given her. Fyra kept her breathing to a very quiet , very slow rythm.She kept her eyes closed when she heard the door to her cell slide open. She thought she was well hidden, until she heard a type of humming sound , and found the hay all over her was now pressed against the wall. Her eyes widened in surprise. She stayed on the floor for a few seconds before sitting upright, her eyes still widened.

"So," said Luna,"We see that our sister was not pranking us. Thou truly is an alicorn like my sister and I."

The princess was circling Fyra, who had been strangely docile. Something about this pony...no...this "alicorn", seemed so familiar. Fyra felt a familiar energy coming from this dark blue pony with a flowing mane. It looked like the night sky outside. Luna stopped. This pony had no 'cutie' mark. Something she was sure had already arisen within the minds of several others. Luna rounded Fyra once more and faced her again. Her stern face not giving the proper atmosphere for a response from the red alicorn.

"We know who you are , and what you are, but where did you come from? What is your power? Why were you so afraid of my sister?"

"Sister?"

"Ah, she answered," Luna thought.

"Yes , princess Celestia. The one you nearly burnt back at ponyville."

Fyra slouched slightly, embarrassed and ashamed.

"Will you tell us everything about yourself?"

"..."

"You can unleash your feelings unto us. We will not harm you."

"..."

Luna put her hoof on Fyra's shoulder and changed her cold , expressionless face to a more concerned one. That hoof on her shoulder and that comforting smile reminded her of that blue pegasus.

"We are here to understand you and try and figure out why you are here and why you seem to act...the way you act. It's okay now, you are safe."

Safe...safe...safe.... those words echoed in her mind.

Luna noticed the red alicorn starting to sniffle and her eyes watering up. Before the princess knew it , she was within the grasp of the red alicorn. Fyra was crying, a lot! All those pent up feelings within her burst out to their password , one that had never been spoken to her before, the word "safe".

Luna was surprised at this reaction. She expected an exhale and a simple trivial answering of questions. Instead , she had a red alicorn who was hugging her and sulking right next to her as well. Luna didn't know how to react. She tried to mumble some words but nothing came out. She decided that the best course of action would be to hug this pony as well. She folded her arms against Fyra, who squeezed the princess even harder and used the same amount of strength in her crying.

The two guards were taken aback by this sudden and most unexpected reaction. Luna decided to try and calm the alicorn down by using what Celestia would do to her before she became Nightmare Moon. It was the only thing that came to mind first.

Luna's hooves stroke through Fyra's mane while she hummed another soothing tune.

Celestia was waiting in her thrown room with the mane six. Celestia had been worried about the time it was taking Luna to return. Sure, that Alicorn was dramatically weak in terms of magic control, but she could control the flames.

"Are you alright princess?"asked Twilight.

She was worried about Celestia's pensive look. Biting her lower lip and staring at the ground. She quickly lift her head up to face her student.

"Not really....I'm worried about Luna is all."

"There's no reason to fret your majesty. Fyra seemed harmless enough , and she ended up becoming-" Twilight face-hoofed"-like Pinkie Pie."

Pinkie Pie bounced towards Twilight, wearing one of her goofy glasses again.

"Yeah , it was lots of fun! It was like a "Ricky says" but without the "says"."

Rainbow Dash had been circling around the large room, impatient as always. She overheard the worries of the princess and flew up to her, showing off again.

"Don't worry your majesty , if anything happens to your sister, were here. We'll show her a thing or two!" Rainbow was punching the air to show her "abilities".

"Rainbow , I don't think that's going to be necessary," said Twilight.

"Of course not. Did you see the poor dear? She was absolutely terrified! And she seemed so harmless. Plus her mane is magnificent. Surely someone with anything bad in their hearts could not have such style...aside from a certain colt I wish to not speak of again."

Rarity turned her head and pouted. Twilight and Celestia both gave out a little giggle. A loud boom was heard soon after. Luna had returned from the prison , a terribly shocked expression on her face. She seemed to have thrown several cans of white paint to her face. While she curved around the corner of the massive doors leading to the thrown room, Fyra popped up right behind her. Looking around in awe.

Rainbow soon jetted right into Fyra's face. The red alicorn was shocked at first but quickly looked irritated by how this blue pegasi was acting. This annoying creature kept pushing Fyra's face.

"Hey! What'd you do to the princess, huh? SPEAK UP or else!"

"Rainbow , we told you she doesn't--"

"Who wants to know?" yelled Fyra, pushing back against Rainbow's head.

The ponies who knew her almost disconnected their jaws from their skulls yet again.

"Oh? A wise guy huh? Come on then! Put 'em up!"

Rainbow started to bounce around on the ground, showing some ample footwork , while putting her front hooves up, ready for a fight. Fyra simply lowered her head slightly and lifted her eyebrow , in a pure mocking manner. This enraged Rainbow , who turned all shades of red on her face. She performed an excellent high kick aiming directly for Fyra's face. Fyra just moved slightly to the right and touched Rainbow slightly on the back of her head, causing her to lose balance and fall on her face during landing. She got back up expecting a strike towards her , and lift her hooves to block it , but saw Fyra standing at her same spot , the same smirk on her face.

Rainbow started to attack Fyra with all manners and forms , while Fyra didn't fight back , and couldn't block them all , she knew how to effectively counter many of these moves and cause Rainbow to lose balance , even when the pegasi used her wings. The others were shocked at this sudden mood change, this didn't seem at all like Fyra, a stubborn pony that seemed to find pleasure in mocking their friend.

A resounding 'STOP' echoed through the throne room. Celestia was aggravated by the fighting.While Rainbow kept looking at Fyra, the red alicorn seemed to have a mood swing and adorned a smile. Pleasure reflecting in her eyes. She moved towards the throne of Celestia , where the princess was sitting. The only way to know that she was horrified by what Luna told her , was to see her eyes , and a gagging reflex being suppressed.

"Considering the current events, I have deemed that you six will have to watch over Fyra and teach her new things. As you are the e-" Luna interrupted her sister , doing a cutting motion on her neck with her hoof.

"-uh...are very special and dear to us, we have decided that it would be best for you to watch over her."
Rainbow Dash was irritated.

"But why? She's just a pompous punk! She should be able to care for herself!"

The two sisters saw Fyra squint her eyes and give a menacing smile towards the possible location of Rainbow Dash. They were worried she might do something unthinkable. It was actually muh more sinister.

"I wonder if I should prank her? And how? Maybe the pink pony...Pinkie....Pie(?).... would help me with that. She seems playful. I hope she doesn't hate me for what I did to her though. I can't wait for that rematch."

Fyra then returned to a normal smile and looked up at Luna.

"This is done. Now for wherever she sleeps , you are to talk about that between yourselves. My sister and I must rest for the night, we have much to discuss between ourselves."

The group was escorted outside by guards. Now outside the castle walls and back into regular Canterlot, they had to reach the train station. Applejack was busy scolding Rainbow Dash who was still flying , but with crossed arms and a pouting face.

"Well , I suppose that is that, my dear. I'm surprised you have just decided to talk. What happened in that dungeon with the princess?" asked Rarity.

Fyra looked towards the full moon with her eyes and said: "Nothing much...personal things mostly. Oh , and sorry about dirtying your store awhile back.

"Oh , that's quite alright darling. All is forgiven , and your mane has given me a wonderful idea for a dress too. By the way , how is your leg doing?"

"Fine, I guess. The bandage burned off , but I didnt see any scars or anything on it."

"Fantastic!"

Rarity and Fyra seemed to get along just fine. But the best of friends were the combination of both Pinkie Pie and Fyra , who seemed to be dancing along the way, some ponies who were still out watched as the duo performed a great many feats of acrobacy. But Fyra still seemed unable to use her wings and horn. Pinkie still outranked her with some moves she invented.

"Fyra! I just remembered! What happened to my book? You didn't forget it in the dungeon did you?"

"Hold on."

Fyra rummaged through her mane. Out came the book!

"I tangled it in my mane since I didn't want to nasty it with my mouth."

"Well then, I hope you kept it clean." Twilight gave a nervous smile and floated the book right next to her. Fyra saw a hotel further on.

She hesitated to ask, thinking it was too much: "Um...I'm sorry to ask but....can we stay here for awhile?"

"In Canterlot? What fer?" asked Applejack.

"Well...there's somepony I need to find, and I don't know his name , I just know what he looks like."

"Oh no!" grumbled the rainbow pegasi."I'm not staying here with her! You can sleep in that hotel if you want, but I'm going home. GOOD NIGHT!"

And with that, the cyan pegasi bolted off into the distance.

"Well, I guess that you five don't want to either then?"

The five remaining ponies all hesitated for a few moments, performing various movements, but Pinkie Pie was there to save the day.

"Hey girls , let's help her! She has been having problems since we've found her. Maybe that pony she's looking for is her special somepony that she hasn't seen for awhile."

Fyra started blushing. "Wh-what? No! It's nothing like that...it's something else."

"Whatever you say Fyra. I believe you." Pinkie adorned a smirk and bounced to Twilight Sparkle.

"Sososososo?!"

"Okay, but we're returning to ponyville when the sun starts to set tomorrow.Spike should be able to handle himself with Owlowiscious for one more day. I'm sure he'll appreciate the "alone" time he so desperately wanted."

"Yay!" Yelled both Fyra and Pinkie.

The group got out two golden things from brown bags they had hidden on themselves, with Pinkie taking out four.Fyra moved closer to the golden things shimmering in the moonlight.

"What are those?"

"Ya mean ya've never seen bits before too?"

"Bits?"

"It's money , a way to exchange something for another. You have to work to get some. It's actually very necessary if you want to live."

"Huh. Weird, they don't seem to be valuable."

"That's just how things are."

After Twilight had finished her explanation she was about to push the door of the very tall white building adorned with many orange-tinted windows. The windows were currently blocked by the white curtains on their other side. The name 'The White Horn' was etched on the face , just above the door , in curly black letters.

"Wait Twilight!"

"Ugh, what is it again Pinkie?"

"We need to hide her wings." Pinkie took out a red cloth from nowhere and placed it on Fyra's wings.

"There we go. All done!"

"Pinkie...how did you....never mind. Let's go."

After the payment to a very "sophisticated" pony , by Rarity's terms, they were all in a six-bed room. The beds were all aligned with each other. Each pony had gotten into bed, except for Pinkie Pie, who was the last to go to the restroom. Rarity delicately slid in the bed , Applejack just flopped the blanket on herself, Twilight folded her's neatly, Fluttershy comfortably laid in hers, having still not made a sound since earlier. Pinkie still wasn't in hers. Fyra wanted to pull a prank by hiding under the covers and bouncing out at Pinkie, but the pink party animal bounced out of the sheets.

"Boo! Hahahaha!"

The others bounced up as well , all looking at Pinkie in an annoyed manner , but too tired to complain.

"You need to teach me how to do that teleporting thing Pinkie."

"Maybe I will, if you are a good 'student'."

"Heheheh. Maybe."

Fyra climbed into her bed while the other ponies dozed off. She was next to the window , the moon shining brightly onto her.She had never felt such great comfort before. It was like she was sleeping on clouds. She closed her eyes and , since who knows how long , her dreams weren't filled with nightmares or those two eyes, no , they were filled with blissful dreams.....of her and Pinkie Pie pranking everypony in every way imaginable. Fyra had a little grin on her face and a tear ran down her cheek. Good dreams.
